When they returned to Yin's house, Qiao Wanyun had already prepared a full table for the New Year's Day dinner, and Yin Quantai rarely returned from the company early. Their family always paid attention to these rituals.
Qiao Wanyun made some dumplings by herself. She didn't do housework very often, and the dumplings were so good that they tasted okay. Yin Quantai ate a bowl: "Next time, let the servants do this kind of thing, don't tire yourself out."
Qiao Wanyun smiled: "Just make a few dumplings, why are you tired?"
It is impossible for four people to eat so many dishes, and they will be full after a few bites of each. Yin Ze was the first to leave the table, leaving a sentence "I went upstairs", and went back to his room to be bored.
It is rare for the two of them to not quarrel today, and Qiao Wanyun is very relieved: "It's just the rebellious period, I'll be sensible in two or three years, Xiao Che, don't bother with him."
In fact, she also knew that the eldest son never cared, but she was still afraid that the child would have something in her heart.
"If he goes too far, tell your mother, and she will teach him a lesson for you."
"It's okay, I didn't take it to heart."
After Yin Che finished eating, he watched TV with her for a while and chatted about trivial and trivial topics, such as which relative's child got married, such as which male star in a recent TV series was particularly handsome, For example, do you understand what the teachers teach at school
Many students in No. 1 Middle School thought that their Yin family's daily life must be intoxicated with money, singing and dancing every night. In fact, there is no such exaggeration, but it is just the imagination of the middle two teenagers who have watched a lot of comics and movies.
After ten o'clock in the evening, the parents who couldn't stay up all night went to bed first, not to join in the fun of the young people.
Yin Che went back to his bedroom, took a shower, and listened to songs on the bed.
Through the transparent floor-to-ceiling windows, you can see a few small stars dotted in the deep night sky.
It's rare to see it at night in a big city.
He sat up, dug out the paper and pen in his bag, folded another star, and threw it into the pencil case, and put it in the jar when he got back to school.
Lying back on the bed, a song just finished. Yin Che turned over, looked at the phone while lying on his stomach, raised his feet, and the red rope on his ankles swayed.
The class group was very lively. Some people had dinner, some played games, and some made jokes.
Zhang Ke is always the one who talks the most, chatting on the screen: [Look at the pork trotters stewed by my mother, it is delicious in the world. ]
[I rely on Yile, you only have five dumplings for dinner? Are you hungry? Look at the big bear, eat a jar. ]
[This party is too boring, can't swipe the barrage, let's play games, which brother will take me? ]
Chen Yingying is always the one who presides over the overall situation and complains: [Zhang Ke, you swiped the screen, hey, you have swiped the others just after they posted, so calm down for me. ]
Han Meng is always the one who hates Chen Yingying: [The squad leader is such a powerful official, I'm afraid. ]
Yang Yile is always the one who speaks weakly but insists: [That... Actually, I ate six dumplings, Zhang Ke, you counted it wrong. ]
Guo Zhixiong is always the one who speaks, and his voice is like a man, and he is very proud: [This is only the first tank, don't make a rumor, my father can eat three cylinders. ]
Other classmates will more or less interject a few words, and the young people seem to have endless days and endless things to talk about.
Yin Che watched the chattering class group for a while, and found that Jiang Yao didn't say anything.
What are you doing
"Zi!" The phone vibrated, which was an in-app message prompt.
Yin Che cut out the class group and saw a message from a deskmate he was remembering:
[Bag, what are you doing? ]
Yin Che stared at the message for a while, then buried his head in the pillow.
The pillow was soft, like his heart.
[listening song. ]
[What song is it? ]
[No idea, random. ]
[Oh... Waiting for New Year's Eve tonight? ]
[Depending on the situation, I can't wait when I fall asleep. ]
Jiang Yao didn't send any more messages, and he succeeded in chatting to death again.
The phone screen gradually darkened, and when it was about to go black, it suddenly turned on again.
Jiang Yao sent a video call.
Yin Che was stunned for a while, and then answered: "What are you doing?"
Jiang Yao was also in his bedroom, lying on the bed. The screen is drawn closer, the face is so handsome and uninhibited, somewhere between a teenager and a young man. The sense of youthful youth has not faded away, and the sense of mature aggression has gradually emerged.
He usually smiles brightly and looks like a warm man, but now his lips are hooked, but he is very ruffian. Jiang Yao accounted for the two most popular types of boys on campus.
It's so unique.
"I want to listen to the song with you." Jiang Yao smiled, "By the way, wait for the New Year."
"Can't you play it yourself if you want to listen?" Yin Che said, but he still pulled out his earphones and played the music in public.
"This song doesn't sound good, change it."
"It's good to listen to you, I don't have to choose."
Jiang Yao raised his eyebrows: "Bunny, who are you talking to? Believe it or not, I rushed to your house to beat you?"
"It's not certain who beats whom."
"So arrogant? Then..." Jiang Yao paused, "Then let you beat me first. I forgot to say yesterday, I'm sorry, I kept you from you for so long."
"What's your apology?" Yin Che sat up, "Didn't you say you have your reasons? I don't blame you."
Jiang Yao breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good, then... still brothers?"
"Um."
The song on the phone was randomly switched to an old English song, and the melodious female voice hummed slowly:
"it's amazing how you can speak right to my heart,
without saying a word you can light up the dark,
…”
As it approached zero o'clock, the speed of swiping the screen in the class group was getting faster and faster. Yin Che and Jiang Yao were watching the video without cutting the window, and they kept looking at him, but nothing else.
Can't even look into it.
"Five minutes left, do you want to make a New Year's wish?" Jiang Yao asked.
"It's not a birthday, what wish?"
"You can make a wish at any time, and it will be easier for God to hear it many times." Jiang Yao closed his eyes and made the promise soon, "It's your turn, hurry up, there must be many people who make a wish at midnight, God listen. Not reachable."
There is this logic. Yin Che was speechless, glanced out the window, and said casually, "I hope I can wait until midnight next year for New Year's Eve."
"What kind of wish is this? It's too simple. I'll send you a video next year to make sure you don't fall asleep. No matter, promise again."
"I want you to take care of my wishes? Let's hang up again."
"Don't, don't, don't." Jiang Yao paused for a while, then said, "Hey, the group is chatting: talk about the saddest thing in the past year, and keep the bad memories this year. Do you have any? "
Yin Che thought for a while: "I didn't pass the final exam last semester."
"That's it? Is it so easy to learn?"
"is it not OK?"
"Yes, yes, but..." Jiang Yao laughed softly, "The group didn't talk about this at all. Are you not looking at anything else and have been looking at me?"
Yin Che was stunned.
"It's okay, there's nothing to be ashamed of, my brother knows that he is very handsome."
"… roll."
Even if you become handsome, the person is still the same person, and I owe it to me.
Jiang Yao laughed and said, "Let's talk about your happiest thing this year, let's enter the new year with this joy."
"Are you the host of the party? It's a set of words."
"Don't worry about the details, let me tell you first, the happiest thing for me this year is to be at the same table with you. You are at the same table."
Yin Che laughed: "neuropathy, have you asked my opinion?"
"You don't need to ask to know that you will."
"Where did you get your confidence, ask me once."
"If you say that, I won't ask. You must be against me." Jiang Yao muttered, "Do you think you can do what I want? Give me some face?"
"You are so thick-skinned and need someone else to give you face?"
"Tsk, it's started again, right? I apologized. Now we don't owe each other. If you hurt me again, I'll come to Xicheng overnight to beat you."
"Are you embarrassed, don't ask my opinion, whose fault is it?"
Jiang Yao obeyed: "Xing Xing Xing, my fault, just ask. Yin Che, are you willing to stay at the same table with me? ok, you don't have to say I know the answer—"
"I would."
"...Ah?" Jiang Yao was stunned.
The time on the mobile phone jumped to "00:00", and the sound of fireworks blasting off in the distance came from outside the window. Yin Che raised his eyes and saw that the stars were eclipsed by the gorgeous fireworks in the night sky.
"I said I would," he repeated.
"The happiest thing for me this year is to be at the same table as you."
Probably the happiest thing in my life.
"Thank you, Jiang Yao."
The screen on Jiang Yao's side suddenly went dark.
The call has not been interrupted, and the time is still running, but the camera seems to be blocked by something.
"...Hello?" Yin Che shouted.
After about half a minute, the screen turned on again, and the background on Jiang Yao's side switched from the bedroom to the outdoors, it should be standing on the balcony of the room. His hair was blown away by the wind, his face was not clear in the night, only his eyes were illuminated by the screen of the mobile phone, still burning brightly.
"You're sick, so go to the balcony at night in the winter to get some air." Yin Che was wearing a T-shirt when he saw him, which looked very thin.
Jiang Yao waved his hand: "Don't talk, I need to calm down for a while, organize the language, and go in after speaking."
Yin Che didn't know what the hell he was doing, and waited for him to speak: "You better hurry up for me."
Jiang Yao took a deep breath, then exhaled again, repeated three times, made full psychological preparation, and finally said: "Do you know what wish I just made?"
"how could I know."
"I hope this year, with my personal charm, I can catch up with the person I like."
Yin Che was quiet for a second: "Oh, come on then. You can go in, don't freeze to death outside before chasing anyone..."
"But I regret it now."
"..." Yin Che frowned, "Do you have other people you want to chase? Why are you so fickle... "
"No, I can't wait." Jiang Yao looked at him fixedly, "I figured it out, it's good by looks, personality, whatever, as long as he likes it, as long as he can catch up with him quickly, why am I being so hypocritical. So stubborn? It doesn't matter if he is an omega for a while, and whether he is an Appearance Association for a while? Why should I be limited by these self-established principles?"
The more Jiang Yao said, the higher the volume, and when he got here, it suddenly dropped, as if he was whispering, the evening wind carried his whispers, drifting through the lights of thousands of homes, and drifting into Yin Che's ears:
"I should have figured it out... I like him, he is my principle."
Yin Che was stunned for a while, then gradually recovered.
I want to apologize for thinking that Jiang Yao had low EQ in love before.
It turned out to be quite articulate.
"If you tell these words to the person you like, you will surely catch up." Yin Che raised the corner of his mouth slightly, "I wish you good luck."
Jiang Yao also laughed: "Really? But I've already said it, why doesn't he respond at all?"
"You already said it? Didn't he agree?"
Jiang Yao didn't speak, and continued to look at him with a smile.
Yin Che gradually recalled that things didn't seem to be what he thought.
It seems that the person Jiang Yao said was not someone else.
"He's fine everywhere, he's just a little silly."
Jiang Yao's smile deepened, and his eyes never left him.
"Don't be stunned, say you, it's you, the person I want to chase, the person I like, and my principle are all you."
"Yin Che, come with me."
"Say 'I do' to me again, okay?"
