Xiao Yu'an stayed at home for a few days and couldn't do anything. Every day he went to look outside Ming's yard, and Ming Shu's window was never opened.
Xiao Lanyue didn't just perfunctory his son. He asked Ming Haofeng the day before yesterday to find out about Mingshu's situation.
The two are similar in age, and they were not without friendship when they were young, but they are not good friends. They have different personalities, and each has a group of like-minded brothers.
In the face of Xiao Lanyue, Ming Haofeng naturally couldn't show his attitude towards Xiao Yu'an. The two exchanged greetings, Xiao Lanyue took the initiative to hand over the steps, saying that Xiao Yu'an and the others had been short of younger brothers since childhood, and they would be rare when they met Ming Shu. He treats Mingshu as his own family, and usually doesn't pay much attention to what he says and does, which may make Mingshu suffer a bad influence.
Xiao Lanyue said all the words, and Ming Haofeng is not good at always keeping his face straight, saying that children are fooling around, but adults understand.
Xiao Lanyue then asked how Ming Shu was doing recently. Ming Haofeng said that he had learned his lesson and had admitted his mistake. He stayed at home honestly and did not want to go out for the time being.
Xiao Lanyue asked half-jokingly and half-seriously, "Take a lesson? You didn't beat him, did you?"
Ming Haofeng frowned, "Wen Yue moved, I didn't."
Xiao Lanyue nodded, "This boy, you have to reason with him, you just can't beat him. You can beat him now, but when he grows up and can't beat him, what should you do?"
Ming Haofeng hummed in confusion.
Xiao Lanyue couldn't say too much, he patted Ming Haofeng on the shoulder and said with a smile, "I'm just here to ask for that kid in my family, he doesn't even talk to me if he's worried. Housework shouldn't be interrupted by an outsider like me, but the friendship between children is also quite precious. It's best for you to reconcile as soon as possible."
Ming Haofeng seemed to want to say something, but he stopped after thinking about it, "Mingshu is fine, it's okay for the child to be angry."
Xiao Lanyue said: "Cheng, it's rare for you to stay at home, accompany him more to enhance your father-son bond."
After returning home, Xiao Lanyue told Xiao Yuan what he inquired from Ming Haofeng.
Xiao Yuan lowered his head and said, "I see."
It is easy for people to avoid emotions and self-anaesthetize themselves.
The realization of powerlessness makes Xiao Yuan a little painful. He is 17 years old and can do everything in school, but in the adult world, he is still insignificant.
His identity, his abilities, he can do too little for Mingshu.
So he couldn't hear the noise from the Ming family every day, so he told himself subconsciously that Ming Shu and Ming family had reconciled, take your time, it will get better.
A few days later, Xiao Jincheng came up and said that Xia Qi was looking for him and was downstairs.
He was a little surprised. Xia Qi usually doesn't come to him alone, but with Cheng Yue. He also deliberately asked, "Cheng Yue is there too?"
Xiao Jincheng said, "Just Xia Qi."
Xia Qi always followed him and Cheng Yue when he was a child, but after high school, he had too many things to do. He could still play ball with Cheng Yue, and he didn't have much activities with Xia Qi, and he couldn't chat very much. He was not as close as before. .
Xia Qi came to him alone, his first reaction was to feel strange, and then he was too lazy to move.
"How long have you been squatting at home?" Xiao Jincheng dragged him, "I look anxious. Someone came to play with you, but you still don't play? Go quickly, don't occupy the study room, I still want to play games."
Xiao Jincheng's comparison is endless. If he doesn't leave quickly, he might have to listen to this person recite a nonsense original poem on the spot.
Xiao Yu'an still went down.
Boys of their age, when they are stinky, have to clean up when they go out. Xiao Yu'an usually does this, but today is really not in the mood. He just grabbed his hair, took an orange down jacket and went out.
Xia Qi was downstairs, but she dressed herself very carefully, her hair was permed in the small curls that are popular among boys, and it was dyed. She wore a silver ear stud on her ear, a white coat, and a somewhat exaggerated hanging on her chest. pendant.
Xiao Yuan found that the lipstick he put on was not colorless.
"Brother Xiao." Xia Qi waved his hand enthusiastically, "Happy New Year!"
When he spoke, white air spewed out of his mouth and dispersed in front of his eyes, making his lips coated with light-colored lipstick even more noticeable.
The last time Xiao Yuan saw Xia Qi was the day he played basketball with Cheng Yue. This Spring Festival has been uneventful, and the time seems to have been stretched. It feels like it has not been seen for a long time.
"Happy New Year." He smiled lightly, neither very enthusiastic nor deliberately alienating, "Is something wrong with me?"
Xia Qi immediately patted the bag hanging on his shoulders - it was a bag that is not very common among high school boys, with a wide trapezoid shape, made of leather, two shoulder straps, dark green, too fashionable, neutral, In the popular magazines that girls in the class like to buy, the models like to wear them like this.
Xia Qi is only a freshman in high school, but he is tall and thin, with long facial features, and his face is not as pouting as he was when he was a child. He already has the backbone and clear edges and corners of a teenager, so it is not awkward to carry such a bag on his back.
"Brother, are you free today? If you are free, let's go to the coffee shop." After saying hello, Xia Qi omitted Xiao Zi and called him brother directly.
Xia Qi used to call it this often, calling both Cheng Yue and Xiao Yu'an brother, "We also have a competition class next semester. I applied for physics, and I did several sets of questions at home during the holidays. I don't understand a lot of them. Tell me. Okay?"
In fact, Xiao Yu'an was not in the mood to talk about the topic. He didn't touch any of his own competition questions. Yesterday, he found out and looked at it. It was a bit difficult and he needed to calm down and do it.
Now that Xia Qi asked him to talk about a topic, his first reaction was to refuse. It would be fine if Cheng Yue asked him to play a ball at the moment, let's relax and vent, how do you vent when you talk about the topic
But Xia Qi looked at him with too sincere eyes, and his breath brought waves of mist.
He wasn't staying at home this day, but he ran out of problems, and he didn't know how to refuse.
"Brother, I'm a competition class that I reluctantly signed up for, I'm afraid I won't be able to keep up." Xia Qi frowned slightly, looking worried, "If you're okay, just tell me a few words, I'm just a person who can't figure it out right now. Maybe you give me a call and I'll get through by myself."
Having said all that, Xiao Yuan refused even more inconveniently, "Come in and wait for me, I'll go up and pack up a few sets of papers."
Xia Qi's eyes brightened immediately, "Brother, I'll be waiting for you here."
Xiao Yu'an didn't insist, "Okay, I'll come down immediately."
The table was not tidy, and several sets of papers were piled up. He took a few sets and put them in his schoolbag, as well as the stationery scratch paper. When I plan to give Xia Qi a lecture, I will do some of my own. It is more efficient for two people to study together than to wander at home alone.
Xiao Jincheng originally thought that Xia Qi was here to find Xiao Yu'an to go out to play, but when he saw Xiao Yu'an carrying a schoolbag out, his eyes darkened, "You guys actually go out to do your homework? Crazy? It's winter vacation!"
Xiao Yuan turned back and rushed to the second floor and shouted, "Xiao Muting, check Xiao Jincheng's winter vacation homework when you have time."
Xiao Jincheng jumped up from the sofa, tucked the game console into the cushion, and booed Xiao Yuan several times.
But Xiao Muching still came down and stretched out his hand, "Bring the game console."
There are cafes everywhere, but the students of No. 1 Middle School have their own stronghold. They usually go to the one opposite the north gate. There are three floors in total. 70% of the customers are students, and the most people are before the exam.
This winter vacation is coming to an end, and there are many people who come to rush for homework, but fortunately there are many seats, and there are still many empty seats on the second and third floors.
Xiao Yuan found a table by the window, Xia Qi hurriedly took his wallet and went to the order table, "Brother, what do you want to drink? What kind of cake do you want? I'll ask you if you agree, don't grab it from me."
"Black tea." Xiao Yu'an really didn't want to rob him. This homework is not a matter of one or two hours. After a while, he has to eat. Xia Qi paid for the drinks and desserts. He just invited Xia Qi to eat. They are all friends. There's no need to fight for money.
"Don't drink coffee?" Xia Qi said, "What about the cake?"
Xiao Yuan shook his head, "Just order what you like."
He has come to this cafe quite a few times, and he even got a membership card, but that card was for Mingshu, and he's at Mingshu now.
