Sang Zhi remembered that Duan Jiaxu went to help her meet her parents, but she had long forgotten that Fu Zhengchu was there at the time. It's been seven or eight years since this happened, and her impression has faded a lot.
But hearing Duan Jiaxu mention this, Sang Zhi's memories came to the fore in an instant.
She was silent for a few seconds: "Did you just remember?"
Duan Jiaxu coughed lightly and said nothing.
With his reaction, Sang Zhi's expression cracked, and he understood it instantly. She stared at him for a long time, her tone was a little unbelievable, and she said dumbly: "Then why didn't you explain it just now?"
Duan Jia smiled, "It's not because I think too much."
Very righteous.
But he clearly guessed what Fu Zhengchu was thinking.
Sang Zhi took a deep breath and couldn't help pinching his waist: "Stop pretending."
Her strength was not heavy, but it was as if she was tickling him. Duan Jiaxu didn't hide, as if he really felt itchy, he laughed a little bit out of breath, and said with a light breath: "You classmate can really make up your mind."
Sang Zhi also found it extremely absurd: "What did he think?"
"But it's interesting to speculate."
"..." Sang Zhi blocked her chest in one breath, unable to go up or down. She didn't want to pay attention to him, looked at the phone again, and when she tried to find the chat window with Fu Zhengchu, she found that a series of words had been sent there.
Fu Zhengchu: [You… ]
Fu Zhengchu: [In front of you two just now, there are so many people around, I'm embarrassed to say it.]
Fu Zhengchu: [You are not good, your parents know, they must not be crazy? And this matter is not in line with morals and ethics. As your friend, I advise you to turn around.]
Fu Zhengchu: [Your introduction just now was too open and aboveboard, so aren't you afraid of being seen? Seriously, I'm starting to wonder if there's something wrong with me now.]
After a few minutes.
Fu Zhengchu: [The more I fucking think about it... ]
Fu Zhengchu: [Think about it for yourself. Don't worry, I don't have such a big mouth and won't tell anyone.]
Sang Zhi twitched her forehead and replied, "It's not what you think, this is not my brother, but my brother's friend. Before, he just helped my brother to help me see the teacher.]
After the sending was successful, Sang Zhi put away the phone and glanced at Duan Applaud.
Perhaps because he was afraid of her being annoyed, Duan Jia Xu's smile subsided a bit, and he even looked at her.
But Sang Zhi didn't mention what happened just now. After seeing Duan Jiaxu's car, he said warmly, "Let's go, let's go eat."-
Duan Jiaxu drove the car near the company.
The two have not seen each other for nearly a month. After stopping the car, he didn't rush to get out of the car, and leaned over to unfasten Sang Zhi's seat belt. The distance suddenly shortened, and his eyes were straight, staring at her, getting closer and closer.
Very obvious hint.
Duan Jia Xu turned his head slightly, and the tip of his nose rubbed against the skin under her eyes. With a hot breath, and the familiar and pleasant smell of tobacco. The lips seemed to fit in the next moment, but they were fixed at this moment.
If the distance is far away.
Ambiguity fermented in the air.
Duan Jia Xu's Adam's apple rolled slightly. The facial features were dyed softly by the light outside the window, and the pupil color was light and glowing. He fondly stroked her face, chuckled softly, and kept his head down.
The attitude is inexplicable.
All the emotions seem to be heating up and surging with this move.
But not in time.
Because Sang Zhi suddenly raised his hand and covered his mouth.
Duan Jia Xu's body visibly paused, his eyes raised, and he looked at her silently. It doesn't seem to have any emotions, but it is inexplicably dangerous.
Sang Zhi said, "You better not kiss me first."
Duan Jiaxu didn't pull her hand away. When he spoke, the hot air sprayed into her palm, like an electric current: "What?"
"I remember what my classmate said just now." Sang Zhi held a grudge and said deliberately, "I can't remember who you are. Anyway, seeing you is like seeing my brother. You should stay away from me."
Duan Jiaxu said thoughtfully, "So serious?"
Sang Zhi had a stern face and nodded.
His eyelashes twitched, his eyes drooping, he stopped on her lips, and soon looked up at her again.
The silence did not last long.
Suddenly, Duan Jia Xu tore off her hand, pressed it against her chest, and brought her whole body over. Before Sang Zhi could react, his lips were already pressed down.
The tip of the tongue pressed against the gap between her lips, swept inward along the teeth, hooked her tongue, entangled and licked hard.
Sang Zhi's eyes were not closed and his mouth was open, letting him ask for it.
When kissing, he always likes pinching her earlobes, or stroking the skin behind her neck. The lips and tongue occupied every corner of her delicately and patiently, and the force was a little heavy, but not gentle.
As if wanting to tear her apart bit by bit, taste it carefully, and swallow it.
She wanted to squeeze him out, but he pinched her chin again and swept in violently.
There was nothing else in Sang Zhi's mind, and her head involuntarily raised to meet him.
After an unknown amount of time, Duan Jia Xu bit her lower lip, licked it lightly, and backed away. The light has not changed, his pupils inexplicably appear deeper, his lips are red and bright, with beautiful water stains.
All of Sang Zhi's sullenness vanished in an instant.
Then, Sang Zhi heard him speak: "Now—"
She raised her eyes.
Duan Jia Xu curled his lips, his peach blossom eyes narrowed, and he laughed like a disaster.
"Remember who I am?"
3.
With a heavy rain, the season changed from summer to autumn, the dryness in the air dissipated a little, and it was a little humid. With the withering of leaves, the temperature plummeted, ushering in a new year.
The cold wave swept through, and the cold air hit on a large scale.
Different from the cold in the north, the winter in the south is wet and cold, no matter how thick you wear it, it seems that it can penetrate into the body from any corner, along the pores, and penetrate into the bone marrow.
2017 was the coldest winter that Duan Jiaxu had spent during his stay in Nanwu.
It was also after so many years that he really felt it again.
The New Year should be a lively and festive festival.
This familiar yet unfamiliar feeling.
Duan Jiaxu spent the new year in the Sang family.
Maybe he was afraid that he would feel embarrassed, or maybe he was embarrassed because he was not invited. One month before the Spring Festival, when Duan Jiaxu went to eat at Sang's house, Sang Rong started to mention this to him.
Li Ping also put on a gesture that she would be angry if he didn't come.
Duan Jiaxu did have the idea at first that he didn't want to disturb their family's Chinese New Year. But listening to them say this, I also felt calm, did not hide my mood, and responded with a smile.
He mentioned this to Sang Zhi.
Although he knew that his parents would definitely ask him to come together for the New Year, Sang Zhi felt very happy to hear that.
After returning from school, because of this incident, Sang Zhi was like a follower, sticking to her parents for several days. Later, when I found Duan Jiaxu to be free, I took him to go shopping.
Sang Zhi had already prepared a New Year's gift for her family.
This time, I just wanted to help Duan Jiaxu buy some new clothes.
After they were together, Duan Jiaxu's clothes were basically bought by Sang Zhi for him.
Duan Jiaxu didn't pay much attention to these things. When he was alone, when he was short of clothes, he went to a men's clothing store to buy a few random pieces. The whole process took less than ten minutes. When you are busy and can't spare a little time, simply buy directly online.
But because he looks good, he looks good in anything. So no big impact.
Feeling that he doesn't treat her kindly, Sang Zhi likes to worry about these things for him, but she is not so enthusiastic about buying clothes for herself. When I go shopping with my friends, I always go to the men's clothing store.
The two entered a men's clothing store.
Sang Zhi asked his opinion while looking at the clothes.
Duan Jiaxu smiled and replied, "Just do what you think looks good."
Sang Zhi took a dark red sweater, handed it to him, gestured earnestly, and muttered, "New Year, dress festively. Would you like to say it?"
Duan Jiaxu stared at her and said softly, "Okay."
"Then go try."
"it is good."
When he went to the fitting room, Sang Zhi picked out a few more clothes and held them in his arms. She looked to the side, freed her hand to flip over the coat next to it, and took it off. After calculating the time, I walked towards the fitting room.
Duan Jiaxu just came out.
The light in the store was sufficient, and Duan Jiaxu's complexion was pale, as if it was shining. Because of staying up late for a long time, there is a layer of blue-gray under his eyes, but because his lips are naturally red, he does not look haggard.
The neckline of the sweater was a little low, revealing a collarbone. Most of his clothes are dark, and it is rare to wear clothes of this color, which makes his appearance more and more dazzling. Standing there quietly, he seems to be provocative.
Duan Jiaxu walked up to her and asked, "Is it alright?"
Sang Zhi couldn't look away, and said honestly, "It looks good."
Duan Jia Xu: "That's it."
Sang Zhi couldn't help but say, "Why do you look so good-looking."
"Huh?" Duan Jiaxu leaned over to look at her, and Diaoerlang took the lead, "Then say, I commend Brother Xu for being the most handsome in the world."
"..." Sang Zhi didn't hear it, and gave him the clothes in his hand, "Would you like to try these?"
"Don't try it." Duan Jiaxu said, "buy them all."
"Oh."
"I'm going to change my clothes back."
Sang Zhi snorted and suggested awkwardly, "Let's go in this dress."
Hearing this, Duan Jiaxu raised his eyebrows and said with a low smile, "Brother is so pretty?"
Sang Zhi didn't answer this, and walked towards the cashier with her clothes in her arms, saying, "Let's go, go and pay."
Duan Jia Xu didn't tease her anymore, just followed her and laughed.
After checking out, the two left the store.
Sang Zhi pondered, "Would you like to buy a formal suit?"
Duan Jiaxu: "I'll buy it when I get married."
"… "
Sang Zhi glanced at him and said again: "Then go buy shoes, you've been wearing these shoes for a long time."
Duan Jiaxu pointed to the women's clothing store next to him: "Go and buy some for you."
"I've been buying a lot of clothes lately."
"Yeah." Duan Jia Xu said, "I'll buy it for you too."
Sang Zhi was a little lost when she picked up her clothes.
Duan Jia Xu picked it up for her with great interest. But unlike Sang Zhi who chooses clothes for him, Duan Jia Xu will wear whatever she chooses. Sang Zhi's requirements are very high, if he takes one, he will complain in dissatisfaction.
"This one will make me look black."
"This skirt is so long, it looks like I'm five feet tall."
"This pattern is so earthy."
"Don't do this."
In the end, none of them were picked.
Sang Zhi also gradually noticed that the girls around her seemed to be squinting at Duan Jiaxu's body. She paused and looked at him, staring at his collarbone exposed in the air.
She was silent for a few seconds, and her face became ugly.
Duan Jiaxu said with a good temper, "Let's change shop."
Sang Zhi looked up, stared at him, and said strangely, "Which man—"
Duan Jiaxu: "Huh?"
"It's so immoral to dress."
"… "-
On New Year's Eve, Duan Jiaxu came to Sang's house at noon.
The time for New Year's Eve dinner here is very early, and it has already started at 4 o'clock in the afternoon. He stayed at home and had nothing to do, so he planned to come over to help in advance.
It was Sang Zhi who came to open the door for him.
As soon as he entered, Duan Jiaxu could hear Li Ping scolding Sang Yan. You can also smell the very fragrant home-cooked food. The girl in front of her smiled and gave him a pair of slippers happily, looking in a good mood.
Duan Jiaxu rubbed her head, "Why are you so happy?"
"My brother was scolded." The pear vortex on Sang Zhi's lips sank, and she smiled silly, "I am very happy to hear it."
"… "
Sang Rong is sitting in the living room reading a newspaper.
Hearing the movement, he raised his head and greeted Duan Jia Xu kindly.
Duan Jiaxu smiled and said, "Happy New Year, Uncle."
Li Ping and Sang Yan seemed to be in the kitchen.
He chatted with Sang Rong for a few words, and was dragged into the kitchen by Sang Zhi. At this moment, Sang Yan was standing beside the counter, washing dishes impatiently. Li Ping frowned and said, "What is your expression? Couldn't my mother ask you to do me a favor?"
Sang Yan stopped: "Mom, how many times have you said this sentence?"
Duan Jiaxu let out a loud voice and politely called, "Auntie."
Hearing the sound, Li Ping turned around. Seeing Duan Jiaxu, she instantly burst into laughter, as if she saw her own son: "Jiaxu is here? Let's sit down for a while, Auntie will cut some fruit for you."
Since I talked to them last time, Duan Jiaxu has come to Sang's house quite a few times, at least once a week. More than Sanyan's own son.
After getting along for a long time, Sang Rong and Li Ping have a better impression of him.
Because of this comparison, they became more and more disliked by Sang Yan, who had not returned home for hundreds of years, and their attitude towards the two gradually became very different.
"No." Duan Jiaxu said hurriedly, "I'll help you."
"Let this stinky boy do it by himself." Li Ping looked at Sang Yan again and continued to train him, "Learn more skills for this virtue, or I'm really afraid that girl Yifan will not want to follow you in the future."
Sang Yan pointed at Sang Zhi: "So she can marry like this?"
Sang Zhi was very upset and hid behind Duan Jia Xu, showing her head. Before she could say anything, Duan Jia Xu had already opened his mouth and said gently, "It's okay, Auntie, I can cook."
She stared at Sang Yan and echoed in a rude manner: "I'm sorry, my boyfriend will."
Li Ping hated iron and said, "Look at others."
Sang Yan endured: "Mom, who is your own son?"
Li Ping: "Are you asking me to choose?"
"..." Sang Yan understood what she meant.
He was very self-aware and didn't ask any further questions. He just glanced at Duan Jia Xu blankly and sneered, "Okay."-
After the New Year's Eve dinner, the family sat on the sofa to chat and watch the Spring Festival Gala.
The Sang family has the habit of keeping the year old. Although I felt sleepy, I still stayed up until twelve o'clock. As soon as the bell rang, Sang Rong gave each of the three of them a red envelope and said some nagging words.
As I get older, I can't stay up late.
Soon, Sang Rong and Li Ping returned to the room.
Duan Jiaxu and Sang Yan cleaned up the mess on the coffee table.
Sang Zhi was also sleepy, but she still held her eyelids and helped while yawning. Seeing this, Duan Jiaxu leaned over and kissed her forehead, smiling, "Go to sleep."
"I'll help you," Sang Zhi muttered, "it's not too messy, it'll be very soon."
Sang Yan looked at them coolly: "I changed my name to Sang Air?"
"… "
Duan Jiaxu laughed and said, "Go to sleep, I'll do it with your brother."
"Oh, then you remember to ask my brother to get you a new toothbrush and towel." Sang Zhi was so sleepy that he was a little awake, and kissed his face, "Happy New Year."
After speaking, she stood up and trot back to the room.
Sang Yan swept the peanut shells on the table into the trash can, and suddenly said: "Why do I think you are getting more and more annoying?"
Duan Jiaxu raised his eyebrows, "Brother, what do you mean by that?"
Sang Yan smashed the peanut shell directly on him.
"Brother." Duan Jia Xu said with a sullen smile, "It's on the ground, go get a broom."
"… "
Duan Jiaxu lives at Sang's house today and sleeps with Sang Yan.
They had taken baths one after another before, and at this time they went back to the room and went to sleep. Sang Yan threw the pillow on the sofa and repeated his previous words of course: "Sorry, I don't sleep with men."
At this point, Duan Jiaxu couldn't sleep well either. He sat on the sofa, flipped through his pockets, and took out the red envelope that Sang Rong had just given him. He looked at it for a while, smiled, and didn't look at how much money was in it.
Sang Yan looked strange: "What kind of expression do you have, why don't you just accept a red envelope?"
Duan Jiaxu put it on the table, picked up the cigarette on the table, and said casually, "I haven't taken it much."
"… "
Not long after, a red envelope flew over from Sang Yan.
Duan Jiaxu took it subconsciously. He heard Sang Yan sneer, and then said: "So you, the post-80s generation, are different from our post-90s generation. You are really not suitable for receiving red envelopes at your age."
"… "
"Out of respect for the old, I'll give you my share."
Duan Jiaxu threw it on the table and said with a half smile, "Then you are really a young post-90s generation."
Sang Yan: "Do you say it?"
Duan Jiaxu didn't say anything. He reached for the phone in his pocket and suddenly remembered that he had changed his pants, but he still found something. He took it out and found that it was also a red envelope.
Exactly the same as the two on the table.
I don't know when Sang Zhi put it in his pocket.
He was stunned and smiled inexplicably.
Put three red packets side by side.
The extremely cold wind was blowing outside, as if roaring, crying, and beating against the windows.
Just hearing the sound makes people feel the chill.
But it was the warmest New Year that Duan Jiaxu had felt over the years.
4.
Sang Zhi had never seen Duan Jiaxu get angry in the years they had known each other. Occasionally he gets really angry, and it doesn't take long to dissipate, his temper is so good that he doesn't seem like a normal person.
Sang Zhi never thought that one day, she would also see what this Buddha said.
- "Have you ever seen my brother lose his temper? It's scary."
