The meeting with Ding Baizhou was set in a beverage shop on Nanpu Street. Aunt Xu took Yan Wanqiu alone to see Ding Baizhou, while Yan Kongshan and I watched from a distance on another table.
The business in the beverage shop is not bad. Most of them are girls or couples. We sit by the window and order a drink each. If it wasn't for Yan Kongshan's constant attention to the movements of Yan Wanqiu's table, and the appearance of being ready, it would be very much like we were on a date.
The temperature outside is more than 30 degrees, and the air conditioner is blowing in the store. Drinking a sip of the cold Xianningle, you can quench your thirst and feel refreshed.
"I heard that our school's military training was very hard. How were you at that time?" Seeing that Yankongshan was so nervous, I decided to ease the atmosphere.
However, Yankongshan didn't seem to hear what I said, and was still staring at Ding Baizhou and the others not far away, without blinking.
I was a little afraid that he would suddenly rush over and beat Ding Baizhou. Although I couldn't see the mood value on his head, I dared to guarantee that the top of his head must be red now, especially red.
The hatred between him and Ding Baizhou can never be resolved, Yan Xinyu is impossible to live, and it is impossible to die.
"Ashan?"
"...Sorry." Yan Kongshan reacted and looked away, "What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly."
Where are you not listening clearly, you are not listening at all.
I sighed inwardly and asked again: "I heard that the military training in our school is very hard, is it true?"
"Military training?" Yan Kongshan thought for a while, looked at me with a "weighing" look and said, "It varies from person to person. If you say it, you will probably be stripped of a layer of skin."
Yankongshan is not a big talker, he said so, it must be hell-level harsh.
I took a deep breath and "hiss" with some fear, trembling with fear for the upcoming military training career.
Yankongshan continued: "There is a Sichuan restaurant near the south campus. I don't know if it is still open since I graduated, but it has been open for many years before I enrolled. It is an old restaurant. If you are not used to dining halls You can order takeout from his family, it tastes good and the price is cheap."
I nodded and wrote down his words one by one.
"You should all have air conditioners in your bedrooms now." As he spoke, he went to see Yan Wanqiu and the others again, "We didn't have them at that time, it was very hot..."
I involuntarily glanced over. All three of them have high values and seem to be in a good mood. Ding Baizhou bought a lot of toys and clothes for Yan Wanqiu and is showing them one by one.
I took my eyes back and looked at Yankong Mountain again, but it wasn't that I couldn't understand his mood.
If a child who has been raised for five years is so close to an enemy, anyone would care and feel uncomfortable.
Thinking about it this way, my previous proposal in the hospital was particularly idealistic. It seemed to be for the sake of him and Yan Wanqiu, but in fact, the mood of the two was not taken into account at all.
"What kind of person is Qiuqiu's mother?"
Yan Kongshan was startled and turned around: "Why did you mention her suddenly?"
Taking a sip of the drink in front of me, I said truthfully, "Because I want to know you better."
Yan Xinyu is an important part of the life of the Yan family, uncle and nephew. I am curious about what kind of woman raised Yankongshan and gave birth to Yanwanqiu.
"My sister..." He thought for a while and gave a rather subtle evaluation, "It's very strong. This is what others say about her."
I'm not sure if that's a compliment, he sounded a little helpless, a little cold.
"Would you like to be strong?"
"In today's society, this word means thorny, stubborn, and always stronger than men. She doesn't allow anyone to look down on her, and she doesn't feel that she needs to depend on men to live." Yan Kongshan laughed, "Ding Baizhou pursued her at first. , said that she was independent and assertive, and she was the other half she was looking for. My sister believed it. As a result, when they broke up, Ding Baizhou said she was too strong and assertive, making him feel aggrieved as a man. "
So in order to show his masculinity, he went to rely on other women to eat soft rice
In order to hide his "scum", Ding Baizhou really dared to say anything.
"I didn't know they broke up until Ding Baizhou went abroad, and at that time my sister was already pregnant with Qiuqiu."
Yankong Mountain ordered a glass of mint sparkling water. As time passed, plump water droplets condensed on the outer wall of the glass. With a slight tap of his index finger, the droplets slipped and wetted his finger.
"I don't recommend her to give birth to a child. In general, it's too tiring and hard work. I don't want her to sacrifice herself to achieve another life. But she said she wanted to have a child, but she wanted to have a child, and it had nothing to do with Ding Baizhou or me. "Speaking of this, Yan Kongshan smiled again, but it was a helpless smile. "Look, she is very strong."
There were people coming and going on the street, and many girls would be stunned when they saw Yankongshan and I sitting at a table, and they might wonder why two men would drink drinks together.
People naturally have a stereotype about gender, what men should do and what should not do, and what women should not do.
"I rarely hear people say that men should be strong," I said. "It seems that men are born strong and women are born weak. But that's not the case. I am not strong, and Sun Rui is not weak."
Weakness should not be the main attribute of women, their label, and strength should not be men's.
"Because people who evaluate her like this want her to be weak." Yan Kongshan laughed at himself, "I can't be exempt sometimes, I hope she can rely on me more and trust me more."
It would be too bad if the elder sister worked so hard and the younger brother didn't feel anything.
I don't think Yankongshan is unconventional, he is just a normal younger brother who loves his elder sister.
"Everyone has their own personality and way of life, as long as they know what they are doing." I considered my words carefully, and said seriously, "I think that my sister is not stronger than men everywhere, but she is strong in the first place. . . . she's a natural powerhouse."
Yankongshan raised his brows slightly when he heard the words, showing a smile that was not a smile.
I don't know which of my words touched him, but he did seem to be in a better mood. This is good.
"how about you?"
"What?" I was a little puzzled.
"Are you born so cute?"
The topic was still so serious just now, but his sudden presence left me unprepared, shocked, dazed, and a little shy.
I lowered my head and bit the straw, and said vaguely, "It should be."
The little sparrow in my heart was so proud that it fluttered while walking.
I don't actually think I'm cute, but what he says is what he says.
As long as I don't say I'm young, everything else will do.
After sitting for more than an hour, Yankong Mountain couldn't sit still, and finally there was a new movement on Ding Baizhou's side.
Ding Baizhou walked away with a big bag of gifts, while Aunt Xu led Yan Wanqiu to our side.
"Ashan, I want to stay at my aunt's house for two days." Yan Wanqiu sat on Yankong Mountain and drank the sparkling water in front of him. After taking a sip, his face wrinkled, he swallowed it hard, and then pushed the cup away. Far away, never touch again.
Yankongshan looked at Aunt Xu: "Where's Ding Baizhou?"
"He sent us." She didn't mean to hide, "He wants to spend two more days with Qiuqiu."
Said to be staying at her house for two days, but it was actually more convenient for Ding Baizhou and Yan Wanqiu to meet.
Yankongshan's jaw tightened, and his face was not very good.
He lowered his head and asked Yan Wanqiu, "Do you want to continue playing with him?"
Yan Wanqiu raised his head, without any reluctance on his face, and answered crisply, "I want to."
Yankongshan frowned, and he could see that he was in a fierce ideological struggle. After a while, he made a concession: "Go back and get two clothes first."
Aunt Xu said: "No, I have some over there, and Ding Baizhou also bought a lot. I can wash it today and wear it tomorrow."
Yankongshan fell silent and said nothing.
"Mianmian, what does your cup taste like?"
I took out the straw and let Yan Wanqiu drink directly from the cup.
She tasted it and commented, "Yours is weird too, but it's better than Ah Shan's."
About five minutes later, Ding Baizhou's car arrived. Yan Wanqiu waved goodbye to us and rode away happily.
I glanced at Yankong Mountain and was a little worried about him: "Let's go too?"
Yankongshan called the waiter to pay for the order, and found that the order had been bought by Ding Baizhou, and his face became even worse in an instant.
He took out a note and threw it on the table, got up and left without looking back, unwilling to accept any kindness from Ding Baizhou.
I didn't have time to explain to the astonished waiter, so I hurriedly chased Yankong Mountain away.
Fortunately, he didn't go very fast, and I caught up with him outside the door.
He went ahead and I followed behind. When he got to the parking lot and was about to get into the car, he suddenly seemed to realize something, turned around hastily, and was a little stunned when he saw me following closely behind him.
"…Sorry," he said.
"It's okay." I smiled at him.
Back home, Yan Kongshan said that he was a little tired and went upstairs to rest.
I know he just wants to be alone to sort out his mood now, so I didn't bother him.
In the evening, I made some simple fried noodles. The appearance is not very good, but the taste is good. Seeing that Yankongshan was slow to come down, he wanted to go upstairs and call him.
The curtains were drawn in the room, it was very dark, and the air-conditioning was very strong.
Yankongshan curled up on the bed with the quilt covering his head.
"Ashan, get up to eat." I sat beside him and gently tugged at the quilt.
He ripped off the quilt by me, and with a little displeasure of being disturbed, he wrapped my arms around my waist and dragged me towards him.
"Ashan!" I exclaimed, not sure if he was awake or just an unconscious move.
He buried his face in my stomach and tightened his arms, not knowing whether he was going to suffocate himself or strangle me.
I felt like I was going to be out of breath, and just as I was about to stop it, his embrace gradually loosened, but he still buried his face and disappeared.
"I am in a bad mood."
See it.
His voice was muffled: "I'm in a bad mood, what should I do as a boyfriend?"
Like a sticky dog. With that in mind, I raised my hand and touched his head. The hair is not soft, hard, and a little thorny.
"I made noodles, do you want to eat them?" I laughed.
He tightened his arms and expressed his dissatisfaction.
I hurriedly changed my words: "No, just kidding! You look up, how can I make you happy if you don't look up?"
Yankongshan moved when he heard the words, half propped himself up.
Maybe it was touched by me just now, or maybe he was sleeping, his hair was a little messy.
He brushed his hair carelessly, and showed me his handsome features, with lazy eyebrows.
"Did I get extra points this time?" The room was dimly lit, I smiled and bent down and kissed his lips lightly.
After a long while, Yankongshan let out a long "um" from his throat, like an answer or a sigh.
