"Ah? You'll be 27 in another year..." His words were a bit evasive, and Sang Zhi didn't react very well for a while, and soon felt that something was wrong, "No, why are you suddenly asking my age."
"I see you keep bringing it up tonight."
"… What's wrong?"
"I didn't hear it just now," Duan Jia Xu smiled, "I hear it now."
"what."
"What do you mean, isn't it?" Duan Jia Xu's tone was loose, with a bit of ridicule, "When you see Qian Fei getting married, do you want to get married too?"
Sang Zhi: "..."
"What did you think about when you were young?"
"… "
"Brother calculated your age, doesn't it mean that you haven't reached the legal age for marriage yet?" Duan Jia Xu said, "In another year, we will only be able to get married. Don't worry."
"..." Sang Zhi endured and stopped looking at him, "I'm too lazy to tell you."
"Also, I'll be 26 in another year, what 27." Duan Jiaxu said, "I don't recognize that one year old."
Sang Zhi couldn't help but retort: "You're 26 this year, why 25."
"The birthday has not yet passed, so it can only be counted as 25." Duan Jiaxu turned the steering wheel and drove the car into the community where Sang Zhi lived, "We are old, we are very sensitive to age, understand?"
After a few seconds of silence, Sang Zhi felt strange and began to guess again: "Did someone really say you are old recently?"
Duan Jiaxu said lazily, "Besides you, who else can call me old?"
Sang Zhi paused and felt a little guilty: "I didn't say it a few times."
"Well, I've been talking since I was 20 years old." Duan Jia Xu's voice paused, and said lightly, "I've never felt young in my life."
"… "
Just happened to drive to the downstairs of Sang Zhi's house.
Sang Zhi quickly unfastened her seat belt and pretended not to hear what he said: "Then I'm going home, thank you Brother Jiaxu. You have to rest early for the early flight tomorrow."
"Wait a minute."
Sang Zhi turned her head sideways: "What's wrong?"
Duan Jiaxu stretched out his hand to loosen the tie around his neck, and suddenly took out a boxy box from another pocket, and said with his lips bent, "Give you a New Year's gift."
"… "
She thought he had forgotten.
Sang Zhi blinked slowly and reached out to take it: "Thank you."
Sang Zhi returned home and glanced at the living room. Sang Rong and Li Ping really haven't come back. She went straight back to her room, sat on the carpet beside the bed, and dug out the box Duan Jiaxing had just given her from her bag.
A very simple solid color box with a logo printed in the center.
She reached out and opened the box.
Inside is a silver bracelet that looks like a fox. The two ends are the head and the tail, which are connected by a chain, decorated with small diamonds, and wrapped in a circle.
There are two letters SZ engraved inside.
Sang Zhi put it on her hand and stared at it for a while.
Afterwards, she took out her mobile phone and searched the Internet hesitantly for "the meaning of giving a bracelet". The first item that popped up was that different people gave it different meanings.
Sang Zhi pokes open to take a look.
- A man gives a bracelet, which means that he likes it and will guard you for the rest of his life.
Seeing this sentence, Sang Zhi's heartbeat stopped for a while, licked her lips and continued to look down.
-Elders also often give bracelets as gifts to juniors to express their eternal concern and blessings.
"… "
Fine.
Sang Zhi's mood inexplicably became a little empty.
After a while, she exhaled and put the bracelet back in the box. She didn't think about it anymore, got up and pulled out the suitcase, and started to pack the luggage to take back to school tomorrow.
In addition to the ones he brought back earlier, Sang Zhi took a look around and brought the set of cosmetics that Duan Jia Xu had given him. She took a shower and went to the living room to cut a cake to eat.
Then he went back to his room and lay down on the bed.
Sang Zhi took out her mobile phone, set the alarm clock, and then sent Duan Jia Xu a WeChat message: [Then leave at 6 o'clock tomorrow? Let's take a taxi there.]
Brother No. 2: [Yeah.]
Sang Zhi remembered something and asked again, "Brother Jia Xu, why don't you drink?]
Qian Fei got married, and even she drank a small cup, but he didn't drink a single sip. Sang Zhi originally thought that he would be pumped a lot.
Thinking of it this way, she seemed to have never seen him drink.
After a while.
Brother No. 2: [Alcohol allergy.]
Sang Zhi: [Oh, it's pretty good too.]
Sang Zhi: [It doesn't taste good anyway, it's much better than eating beef if I can't drink milk.]
As time was getting late, Sang Zhi started to feel sleepy while holding the phone, closed her eyes and fell asleep in a daze. Before she completely lost consciousness, she suddenly remembered what Duan Jia Xu said today.
- "Give us only, how can we suffer?"
At five in the morning the next day, Sang Zhi got up.
It was not yet dawn, and Li Ping and Sang Rong were not heard outside. Afraid of disturbing them, Sang Zhi moved gently and went into the toilet quickly to wash up.
When he came out, Li Ping also came out of the room wrapped in a coat.
"Only," Li Ping's spirits were not very good. "My dad and I both drank alcohol yesterday, so we can't drive you to the airport. Should I call your brother to escort you there?"
"No need." Waking her up, Sang Zhi felt a little guilty and whispered, "I'm going with Brother Jiaxu. He came back yesterday to attend Brother Qian Fei's wedding, and he's going back to Yihe today."
"yes?"
"Well, go back to sleep." Sang Zhi said, "My brother also drank, so don't call him."
Sang Zhi returned to the room and sent Duan Jia Xu a WeChat message: [Brother Jia Xu, are you awake?]
Duan Jiaxu replied in seconds: [Wake up.]
She felt relieved, sat down in front of the dresser, and quickly put on light makeup. Sang Zhi changed her clothes, then pulled up her suitcase and walked out.
At this point in time, the temperature outside was lower than expected, the blade-like coolness, with a slight moisture, penetrated into the bones along the pores.
Sang Zhi sniffed, pulled out her phone, and called Duan Jiaxu.
Soon, the other end of the phone picked up. His voice didn't sound like he stayed up all night, and came along with the current, clear and clear: "Come out?"
Sang Zhi hummed: "I'm about to leave the community now, where are you?"
"This bakery is just outside your community," Duan Jia Xu said, "I'm buying breakfast, have you eaten it yet?"
"not yet."
"What do you want to eat then?"
"Just eat a sandwich." Sang Zhi thought for a while, "I also want to eat an egg tart."
"Row."
Sang Zhi hung up the phone, her hands were stiff from the cold. She shrugged, took the gloves out of her bag, put them on, and continued dragging the suitcase slowly.
When she left the community, she saw Duan Jia Xu not far away with a black duffel bag.
Duan Jiaxu came over, handed her the plastic bag in his hand, pulled over her suitcase, and put his own bag on top.
Sang Zhi glanced at him: "Have you eaten?"
"No, I'll eat it in the car later." Duan Jia Xu said, "First, drink soy milk to cushion your stomach."
"Oh." Sang Zhi hooked the plastic bag to her wrist, removed her gloves, punctured a bottle with a straw, and handed it to him, "You drink."
Duan Jiaxu took it and smiled, "Thank you."
The two waited on the side of the road for a while and stopped a taxi. Sang Zhi sat up, handed him the sandwich from the bag, and then unwrapped another package on his own.
Just as Sang Zhi was about to take a bite, she suddenly noticed that Duan Jia Xu didn't move, just looked sideways at the sandwich in her hand.
"..." Being stared at by him, Sang Zhi was also embarrassed, and hesitantly handed him the sandwich in his hand, "Do you want it?"
Duan Jiaxu took it and his tone was so soft that it was almost ambiguous: "Thank you."
Sang Zhi: "..."
baffling.
There was only a dozen egg tarts left in the bag. Sang Zhi could only take one out and eat it, staring at the sandwich in his hand, looking a little unhappy: "Do you want to eat two?"
Duan Jiaxu: "Yes."
He bought it with money, and Sang Zhi couldn't say anything. But I remembered that I just told him that I wanted to eat sandwiches, so I could only politely say: "Then why don't you buy three."
"Why buy three?" Duan Jiaxu didn't seem to understand, and said in a condescending manner, "I can't eat three."
"… "
Sang Zhi endured the fire and continued to eat egg tarts.
Not long after, Duan Jiaxu finished eating one and unpacked the other. His movements stopped, his eyebrows raised slightly, and he handed it to Sang Zhi: "Do you want to eat?"
Sang Zhi was very strong and did not lift his eyelids: "Don't eat."
Duan Jiaxu: "Is it enough to eat an egg tart?"
Sang Zhi: "I can't."
"Then why don't you eat?"
"I don't eat savage food."
"..." Duan Jiaxu was stunned for a moment, then he laughed softly, as if he was very interested, "Why did you just come for the food?"
Sang Zhi drank the soy milk to herself: "Give it to me if you can't eat it."
"Can't eat? Such a big sandwich," Duan Jia Xu said, "I can still eat three."
Sang Zhi turned her head sideways: "Then why didn't you give it to me just now?"
"Just kidding with you." Duan Jia Xu stared straight at her with deep and bright eyes, and said calmly, "If you are acting like a spoiled brat with your brother, won't your brother give it to you?"
"… "
This man is really shameless as he gets older.
Sang Zhi resisted the urge to complain: "You think beautifully."
"Do you want to prepare?" Duan Jia Xu put the sandwich in her hand, "Then prepare, brother will wait."
Sang Zhi was extraordinarily serious and repeated it seriously: "I said you think beautifully."
"Yeah." Duan Jiaxu smiled, "It's so cute that we only act coquettishly."
"… "
Sang Zhi somehow understood how Sang Yan felt yesterday.
It is true that he can be so angry that his chest is tight, but he can't think of any way to fight back.
Sang Zhi ignored him, put on the hat on his coat after eating the sandwich, and closed his eyes against the seat. She got up early today and fell asleep soon after.
When I woke up again, it was already at the airport.
The two went to get the boarding pass and chose two seats side by side. Sang Zhi still felt sleepy, went to the waiting room to find another seat, and continued to sleep with her eyes closed.
Duan Jia Xu woke her up when she started boarding.
The position of the two is three consecutive seats, and the two of them are sitting in the inner position. Duan Jiaxu asked Sang Zhi to sit in the innermost position, reminding her to fasten her seat belt.
Sang Zhi took out the bottle from her bag. The water in it was just filled by Duan Jiaxu in the waiting room for her. She opened the bottle cap and sipped it.
Duan Jiaxu was talking to Sang Zhi, "Is it cold?"
Sang Zhi shook her head: "It's not cold."
Soon, the person next to Duan Jiaxu also took his seat.
The man put his bag on the luggage rack. Afterwards, he sat down and glanced at Duan Jia Xu next to him, and he withdrew his gaze after a while.
The next moment, he seemed to feel that something was wrong, he looked over again and stared at Duan Jiaxu for a long time.
"Hey, are you Duan Jiaxu?"
Hearing this, Duan Jiaxu turned his head.
Sang Zhi also followed the voice and looked over.
He was a man about the same age as Duan Jiaxu. He was wearing a pair of black-rimmed glasses, his face was white, and he was wearing a simple sports jacket.
"It's really you." The man said excitedly, "I am Yuan Lang, remember? We are from a junior high school."
Duan Jiaxu looked at him quietly and did not speak.
"I haven't seen you for a long time. It's been a long time... I think we were still at the same table." Yuan Lang added, "I think they had another class reunion a while ago, why didn't they see you? I'm here. The second time I didn't go because my mother was sick."
Duan Jiaxu retracted his gaze and said with a light smile, "I don't have time."
"That's also true." Perceiving his indifference, Yuan Lang laughed, "I heard from Jiang Ying, you are busy with your work now, and you should be earning a lot."
After speaking, noticing Sang Zhi next to him, Yuan Lang asked curiously, "Is this your girlfriend? No, how did I hear that you and Jiang Ying are getting married?"
Sang Zhi was stunned.
"..." Duan Jiaxu obviously felt incredulous and turned his head away. After a few seconds of pause, he suddenly twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled, in an extremely absurd tone, "What did you say?"
"Isn't it? I forgot who said it..." Yuan Lang was a little embarrassed, and said to Sang Zhi, "Don't mind, I don't have the door, so I just said that."
Sang Zhi leaned into Duan Jiaxu's ear and asked in a low voice, "Who is Jiang Ying?"
Duan Jiaxu said lightly, "The woman I met at the hot pot restaurant earlier."
"… "
Sang Zhi thought about it, and couldn't figure out the relationship.
Yuan Lang next to him asked again, "So this is your girlfriend?"
Duan Jiaxu turned his head and said something in a low voice, but Sang Zhi couldn't quite hear it.
Soon, Duan Jia Xu turned to look at her again.
Sang Zhi hesitated: "Then..."
Noticing her expression, Duan Jiaxu explained seriously, "It doesn't matter, and it's not your ex-girlfriend." He stared at Sang Zhi, his brows widened, "Besides, I seem to have promised you?"
Sang Zhi didn't react: "What?"
"If you want to have a girlfriend," Duan Jiaxu said slowly, lifting his eyelids, "I'll just show it to us first."
