The host was preparing on stage, and music suddenly sounded in the banquet hall.
The whole place fell silent in an instant.
The conversation between Duan Jia Xu and Sang Yan was also suspended.
Sang Yan gave him a cold look and took out the phone from his pocket.
Duan Jiaxu lowered his eyes and took a sip of water, then smiled.
Several dozen seconds passed.
Sang Zhi felt that this matter should have been turned over. Taking advantage of this gap, she glanced in Duan Jia Xu's direction. At this moment, he was looking at the stage, as if he was listening carefully to the host's introduction, but he didn't look this way.
Sang Zhi retracted his gaze, leaned close to Sang Yan's ear, and whispered, "Brother—"
Before she could finish her words, Sang Yan interrupted her coldly: "Little devil, don't call me that, I feel sick when I hear these two words now."
"..." Sang Zhi continued to ask, "What is Brother Jiaxu doing?"
Sang Yan is looking at the phone. Hearing this, he raised his eyes and directly handed the screen to her.
Sang Zhi glanced at it.
A web page is displayed on the screen, and the search bar is - Yihe City Mental Hospital.
"… "
Sang Yan tutted: "I can only help him here."
The next second, Sang Zhi saw that Sang Yan handed over the phone to Duan Jia Xu, with a very concerned sentence: "You can apply for admission directly after you go back."
Duan Jiaxu glanced at it and said gently, "It's really not necessary, thank you brother—"
This time, before he could finish speaking, Sang stretched his hand around his neck and pressed down hard, as if he couldn't bear it any longer: "I have lived for more than 20 years, and I have never been called like that by a big man like you."
Duan Jiaxu was stunned for a moment, but did not resist. Being treated like this, he laughed out loud, his shoulders trembled, with a fine breath: "What's wrong?"
Sang Yan stared at him for a few seconds. Just when Sang Zhi thought he was going to drag Duan Jia Xu out for a beating, he suddenly let go of his hand, turned his head and said to Sang Zhi, "Change positions."
Sang Zhi was watching the play, and when she heard this, she still couldn't react, and said "Ah" dumbly, "Will you switch places with me?"
"I'll sit next to him again," Sang Yan said lightly, "Qian Fei probably thought I was going to cause trouble."
"… "
Sitting in Sang Yan's seat, Sang Zhi silently moved all her cutlery over.
She didn't look in Duan Jiaxu's direction, just when she was about to refill her cup of tea, the phone vibrated beside her.
Sang Zhi withdrew her hand and glanced casually.
Sang Rong sent a message to the group at home.
She opened it directly.
Sang Rong: "Only, Dad bought a chocolate cake and put it in the refrigerator. You can eat it if you want. I have an entertainment with your mother today, so I'll be back later."
Sang Zhi replied "Okay".
Then, she exited the chat window and slid down.
Yu Guang noticed that Duan Jiaxu was also looking this way, Sang Zhi subconsciously raised his head and immediately turned off the screen of his phone: "What are you doing?"
Duan Jia Xu raised his eyelashes a little and suddenly asked, "Just who?"
Sang Zhi felt strange: "It's not like you don't know."
Duan Jiaxu smiled, "Is that your brother?"
"What my brother." Sang Zhi was inexplicable, "It's me, my nickname."
"Oh." Duan Jiaxu picked up the teapot, poured water into her cup, and asked, "Why didn't you see your brother calling you that?"
"He also shouts occasionally," Sang Zhi said, "very rarely."
"Who shouts like that?"
"My parents," Sang Zhi thought for a while, "and my uncle and aunt... they are all close people anyway."
Duan Jiaxu hummed thoughtfully.
after awhile.
"By the way," Duan Jiaxu said casually, "What is Brother No. 2?"
"..." Sang Zhi's expression did not change, he pointed at Sang Yan, "Number 1."
He pointed to Duan Jiaxu again: "No. 2."
"How did I become your No. 2 brother?" Duan Jia Xu leaned back in the chair, turned his head to look at her, and said leisurely, "Your brother just recognized me as this brother?"
Sang Zhi looked at him and reminded, "My brother is younger than you."
"The age on my ID card is fake." Duan Jia Xu laughed and said without any formality, "The report is high, but in fact, it's younger."
"Then how much are you actually?"
"Huh?" Duan Jiaxu said, "96's."
"..." Sang Zhi was shocked by his brazenness, stared at him for a long time, and said indifferently, "You can say 90, but you can say 96."
"how?"
"I think you look like 69."
Who do you want to deceive.
No matter how old you are, you still want to be eighteen.
Duan Jiaxu raised his eyebrows, "What are you talking about?"
What he said now, and thinking of his behavior of calling Sang Yan "brother" with great pleasure just now, Sang Zhi hesitated: "Brother, why are you so strange today. Are there many people saying you are old recently?"
"Sang Zhi, your brother is also here," Duan Jia Xu picked up the cup and took a slow sip, "You called me 'brother', are you calling me or your brother?"
Sang Zhi paused: "Why didn't you say that before."
Duan Jiaxu: "Isn't that your brother's absence?"
"Oh, Brother Jiaxu." Sang Zhi didn't mind the question of the name, and continued to ask, "Did you go on a blind date when people said you were too old and looked down on you?"
"Blind date?" Duan Jia Xu asked, "I heard that you asked me to team up with your brother to go on a blind date?"
"I'm just giving you two an opinion," Sang Zhi said solemnly, "Isn't this just like a friendship? Having a partner is a bit of a heartbreaker."
Duan Jiaxu smiled lightly, "But your brother is not happy."
Before Sang Zhi could speak again, Duan Jia Xu's eyes narrowed slightly, he leaned over slightly, leaned closer to her, and asked in an air voice, "How about you form a team with me?"
After being stunned for a few seconds, Sang Zhi finally understood what he meant: "You asked me to accompany you on a blind date?"
Duan Jiaxu's expression froze: "..."
Sang Zhi's mood was a little unhappy: "How can I accompany you on a blind date, others have opinions."
"Huh?" Duan Jiaxu asked, "What's your opinion?"
"I will tell you," Sang Zhi said slowly, "I went on a blind date and brought my daughter with me."
"… "
After the wedding banquet, there is also a "causing bridal room" link.
It was impossible for Sang Zhi to follow. Seeing that it was almost time, she said to Sang Yan, and then took the initiative to say a few blessings to Qian Fei.
It was nearly nine o'clock at night.
Sang Yan drank wine, and Sang Zhi didn't plan to let him send it. She knew this place and planned to take a nearby bus home after going out.
Just got out of the banquet hall.
Not long after, Duan Jia Xu's voice came from behind: "What are you doing walking so fast?"
Sang Zhi turned around and said casually, "You are leaving too?"
"No." Duan Jia Xu played with the car keys in his hand, his eyebrows lowered, and he said in a low voice, "It's so late, I'll take you back first."
Sang Zhi glanced, it was Sang Yan's car key: "Aren't you drinking?"
Duan Jiaxu: "Yes."
"It's better not to." Just as the elevator came, Sang Zhi walked in, "I'll just take a bus nearby. Brother Jiaxu, don't go back and forth, it's too much trouble."
"It's alright," Duan Jia Xu raised his eyelids, and the corners of his lips curved into a shallow arc, "It may be troublesome to send it to others."
"… "
Sang Zhi pursed the corner of her lower lip and said nothing.
Duan Jiaxu raised a topic: "When are you going to go back to school?"
"Tomorrow, so I have to go back and pack my things." Sang Zhi said, "School starts the day after tomorrow."
"Well, I'll go back tomorrow too." Duan Jia Xu said, "What time did you book your flight ticket?"
"My brother ordered it." Speaking of which, Sang Zhi took out his phone from his pocket and whispered, "I also forgot what time, let me check."
The elevator goes down to the underground parking lot.
The two went out.
"Is that so?" Duan Jiaxu clenched his chin and laughed inexplicably, "Then take a look?"
Sang Zhi glanced at her: "The flight at 8:20 tomorrow morning."
"My ticket—" Duan Jiaxu took out his phone and glanced at it symbolically, with a natural tone, "It's also 8:20. Then we'll go together tomorrow?"
Sang Zhi glanced at him and nodded.
After finding the spot where Sang Yan had just parked, the two got into the car.
Duan Jiaxu was about to fasten his seat belt when suddenly he felt something in his pocket. He took it out and found that it was the red envelope just now: "Your red envelope?"
Sang Zhi looked over, but didn't move: "Do you want to give it back to me?"
"Yeah." Duan Jiaxu laughed, "Just give us one."
Except when he was drunk last time, it was the first time Sang Zhi heard him call her like that. Her breathing stopped for a while, and her fingers unconsciously played with the zipper on her clothes: "Why are you calling me that?"
Duan Jia Xu's tone was lazy and casual, "Didn't you say that everyone close to you shouts like that?"
Sang Zhi snorted unnaturally, but didn't take the red envelope: "You still take it, you called my brother like that just now, you gave it back to me, isn't it a disadvantage?"
"Give it to us," Duan Jia Xu looked at her motionless, paused for two seconds before retracting his gaze, with a faint smile in his voice, "Why do you suffer?"
"… "
Sang Zhi said nothing and took the red envelope over. She fastened herself on the seatbelt and leaned against the window to look out.
The car started, and the car was silent for a while. After a long while, Sang Zhi took the initiative to speak, "Brother Xu."
"Um?"
"Look at Brother Qian Fei, when he was drunk, he said that he couldn't find a partner." Sang Zhi said, "Now he is also married, and he seems to like that sister very much."
"Um."
"When you saw it," Sang Zhi thought about his words, speaking at a warm pace, "there isn't one, do you also want to find a partner?"
"Why didn't you have a blind date or asked me to find a girlfriend recently?" Duan Jiaxu thought it was funny, "I'm only twenty-five, so what's the hurry?"
Sang Zhi: "Then how long do you have to wait? Even my brother is chasing him."
She doesn't want to keep urging him.
But I was afraid that he would simply decide not to look for it, and then no one else would urge him.
I have to celebrate the New Year alone again next year.
I don't go to the doctor when I'm sick, I'm all alone.
There were soothing love songs in the car, soft and long, which seemed to give the atmosphere a bit of charm.
Duan Jiaxu's facial features were sharp and clear, and the dim yellow light from the street lamps outside made his expression look much softer. He looked straight ahead and didn't seem to care.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Sang Zhi thought that he was annoying him, and after a while of silence, he said, "Don't be unhappy. I see my mother keeps talking about my brother, and my brother is not happy either. I just don't want to, eh. "
She didn't know how to talk about his family affairs, so she whispered, "I won't talk about it in the future."
Duan Jiaxu suddenly said, "How old are you this year?"
Not sure why he asked this.
Sang Zhi was stunned for a moment, then thought about it and said, "It's the nineteenth birthday."
After answering, he didn't even see him speak up.
Sang Zhi was a little puzzled: "What's wrong?"
Afterwards, she heard Duan Jiaxu laugh, his tone seemed to mean something.
"Then another year."
The author has something to say: Duan Jiaxu: Seeing how anxious you are, when you reach your age next year, let’s get a certificate.
Sang Zhi: ? ? ? ? ?
