Ming Shu is greedy, although the purpose of each visit is to do homework, but he can eat three cakes alone, and let his brother eat the first bite of each kind.
Xiao Yuan didn't like sweets, and was forced to taste all the cakes in this store. Those tastes were too boring for him, so he had to order a cup of tea, go back and forth, and taste the tea here.
When Xia Qi came up with the tray, Xiao Yuan had already taken out the papers, scratch paper, and pens, and placed them neatly on the side of the table.
The desks here have an advantage for students—big enough so that two people don't sit together and things can't spread.
"Brother, your black tea." Xia Qi first took out the black tea, and put a piece of black forest next to Xiao Yu'an, while his own was cherry cheese and chocolate milk, "I don't know which dessert you like, so just take one."
Xiao Yu'an didn't like desserts, but he still said thank you, "Which questions don't you understand? Show me."
Xia Qi hurriedly took out the paper, "I'm doing the questions you asked last year, and those who have been circled in red don't quite understand."
The Ming family's Cold War continues.
Ming Haofeng told Xiao Lanyue that the relationship between Mingshu and him had eased, and the father and son talked a little bit about it, but in fact there was not at all. Mingshu refused to say a word to him, and he couldn't lose face to compromise with Mingshu. Mingshu refused to accept it for one day, and he would not let Mingshu come out for one day.
He and Mingshu had another conflict just now. He opened the door with his lunch, and his tone was as gentle as possible, but Mingshu looked at him coldly and asked, "Can I go to my brother?"
He couldn't tell whether it was Mingshu's eyes or what he said that angered him again, maybe both, the fire that he had been suppressing after spending a long time outside for thinking and building suddenly rose again, and jumped even higher.
The bowl was smashed on the floor, and the soup was splashed all over. He glared at Mingshu and scolded: "You remember it clearly, you are the seed of my Ming family! No matter how good the Xiao family is to you, it is an outsider!"
When the tableware and chopsticks fell to the ground, Mingshu blinked his eyes on a conditioned reflex, and after that, his eyelashes stopped shaking, "Outsiders treat me better than my family."
This remark completely angered Ming Haofeng. He pointed at Mingshu, his fingers even trembled twice, but he was unable to speak immediately. After a long time, he said, "Continue to reflect on me!"
After the loud bang of the door slamming against the door frame, the room fell silent again. Mingshu kept sitting on his knees for a long time, and his reaction was a little slow, and he felt very hungry.
He has been eating very little and drinking very little recently. He likes sweets the most. His brother has sugar, drinks, and often cakes at home. He hasn't eaten these things for a long time.
He ate the last bar of chocolate in the drawer three days ago. It was Xiao Jincheng who lost to him before the Spring Festival. He originally wanted to share it with his brother, but his brother didn't want it and let him eat it by himself. He forgot it as soon as he got home, threw it in a drawer, and was locked up before he remembered that there was a piece of chocolate.
There was noise outside, noisier than usual.
Ming Shu listened carefully and found that there were guests at home, who seemed to be Ming Haofeng's colleagues and superiors.
He suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to escape. Ming Haofeng has a good face, he doesn't even have to run away, he just needs to go downstairs and say, "Dad, I'm going to find my classmates to play." Ming Haofeng can't stop him from letting him go under the gaze of so many eyes.
After making up his mind, he changed into the jacket he was going out, and when he was habitually touching his pocket, he found a hard card, took it out, and it turned out to be the membership card of the cafe.
He has to go to Xiao's house to find his brother first, and then go to the cafe with his brother to eat cake.
He wanted to ask himself why his brother didn't come to see him that day.
But before going downstairs, he still hesitated, passing in front of so many strangers, although Ming Haofeng could be crushed, he was not comfortable.
Finally, he changed his method, quietly opened the window, and slowly climbed down from the second floor.
No one noticed him, after standing firm, he ran away, almost all the way to Xiao's house.
Xiao Jincheng was handed over to the game console, and was busy with his homework in the living room on the first floor. When he saw Mingshu, it was like a ghost, "Damn it! Your dad let you out?"
Mingshu didn't have time to explain, "Where's my brother?"
Xiao Jincheng said, "Your brother is crazy."
Mingshu didn't understand, he ran too hastily just now, gasping for breath at this moment, his face flushed red, "Huh?"
"Are you crazy to actually go out to do your homework?" Xiao Jincheng said and pointed to his head, "Xia Qi too. Maybe their high school students are not normal here."
Mingshu finally recovered his anger, "My brother and Xia Qi went out? Where are they?"
Xiao Jincheng was inexplicable, "How do I know?"
Mingshu ran outside the compound again.
Hearing that his brother and Xia Qi went out, he felt a little uncomfortable. My brother didn't come to save him, so he was with someone else. Didn't he escape because he wanted to see his brother, who wasn't at home and didn't say where he went.
So what should he do if he can't find his brother
On the streets of the winter vacation, there were more people than before. He was breathing out a big mouthful of white air, his chest was shaking, but his hands were freezing.
He put his hand in his pocket and touched the card again.
Will my brother be in the cafe
Xia Qi was actually not a candidate for a physics competition. Xiao Yuan gave him a few questions and found out, but Xia Qi seemed to be very interested in physics, so it was not good to pour cold water at this time.
The questions asked by Xia Qi were all very easy to answer. Xiao Yuan brushed his own questions after speaking. By 6 o'clock in the afternoon, the questions he brought had been completed.
But Xia Qi was still working hard on the scratch paper and didn't mean to go home.
In addition to drinks and cakes, this cafe also offers light meals. Xiao Yu'an said, "Take a rest, are you hungry?"
Xia Qi raised his head, a little worried, "Brother, are you going back for dinner?"
Xiao Yu'an said, "Don't worry, just eat here. Do you still have some questions to ask me?"
Xia Qi nodded.
Xiao Yuan got up and clicked on the edge of the table, "I'll go down and order a meal."
Xia Qi's eyes showed that bright light again, "Okay, thank you brother."
When Mingshu broke into the cafe, he smelled the aroma of steak. It was already dinner time, and the group of guests who came in the afternoon had either left or were having dinner.
Mingshu glanced anxiously, but didn't see his brother, he immediately went upstairs, and he didn't see his brother on the second floor.
He ran up to the third floor. The third floor was the least crowded. By the window, he saw the most familiar figure.
It's brother.
But there was Xia Qi next to my brother. They were sitting side by side, very close to each other, fiddling with the steak with a knife and fork.
Xia Qi was talking to his brother, and his brother laughed.
It gets dark early in winter, and the lights are already on outside the window. Those gorgeous lights shone through the window and enveloped my brother like a mysterious candlelight.
Earlier, he was taken by Xiao Jincheng to watch an idol drama. When people in the drama fall in love, they will sit together and share a candlelight dinner, and they also eat steak.
He opened his eyes wide, and suddenly felt that there was an empty space, and then the cold wind from outside poured in like this, making him shiver.
Brother is a liar.
He spent so much effort running out to find his brother, but his brother and Xia Qi fell in love early.
