The moment he hugged Qin Mo, Xiao Han realized that he had been feeling empty in his heart for the past three years, and it turned out that Qin Mo was not by his side. Now, hugging this person into his arms again, feeling the warmth of his body, Xiao Han suddenly felt that the vacant place in his heart was finally filled.
Holding him in his arms felt very warm and comfortable, making Xiao Han reluctant to let go.
Qin Mo was a little embarrassed by being hugged, and couldn't help pushing him gently: "Okay, let go first."
Only then did Xiao Han reluctantly let go of him, but his eyes still fell on Qin Mo's face.
Qin Mo tidied up his slightly messy shirt, stood up, and asked, "Yu Xiangyang told you I'm here?"
"Well, everyone in our club knows that he opened an Internet cafe. He said that you are in Xiaoyu Internet cafe, so I will book a plane ticket and come to find you immediately." Xiao Han replied honestly.
"Aren't you too willful?" Qin Mo gave him a reproachful look, "What about the team? You are the captain anyway, so what's the matter if you just leave?"
"It doesn't matter, the team has already made arrangements, and they will continue to form a team to upgrade." Xiao Han said with a smile, "I think coming to see you is more important than anything else, I really miss you so much."
"..." Listening to his blunt reply, Qin Mo's ears couldn't help feeling a little hot, and he kept staring at him, so Qin Mo couldn't help but look away in embarrassment, coughed lightly, and said, "Xiao Han, Chinese doesn't sound like In English, no one will say 'I miss you' every day, and you... don't say this again, it sounds strange."
"Oh. How should I express the implicit statement? With action?" Xiao Han stretched out his arms to hug Qin Mo as he spoke, and Qin Mo immediately turned sideways to avoid him, and said seriously, "Don't even hug. Say hello when we meet Just shake hands and don't bring over the habits you developed in America."
"But you used to hug me when you saw me." Xiao Han's tone was innocent.
"That's because of our young age. Now that we are in our twenties, it's easy to misunderstand two adults hugging each other." Qin Mo tried hard to convince Xiao Han.
Seeing his sullen face and serious expression, Xiao Han suddenly felt that Qin Mo, who was preaching so earnestly, was very cute, so he obediently retracted his arms and said with a smile, "Got it."
Then, Xiao Han stretched out his hand to touch the top of Qin Mo's head, and said seriously, "Why are you shorter than me?"
"..." Qin Mo was about to die of anger from him.
They were about the same height when they were teenagers, but the genes of the mixed race are really strong. It is said that Xiao Han's mother is white, with a net height of more than 1.78 meters, and his father is Chinese, with a height of more than 1.88 meters. When Xiao Han was seventeen years old He is already as tall as his mother, and has grown a lot in the past few years, and is now ten centimeters taller than Qin Mo.
"Yeah, shorter than you, who told me I'm not a hybrid gene." Qin Mo said coolly.
"Your angry expression still hasn't changed." The smile on the corner of Xiao Han's lips deepened. In the past, he often made Qin strange angry, because Qin Mo was so angry and looked so cute that he couldn't help it. When he was young, he didn't quite understand the meaning of this kind of behavior. Now when he saw the person in front of him again, Xiao Han understood—in fact, he did that. , just to get Qin Mo's attention.
"By the way, have you had lunch yet?" Qin Mo was not really angry, he looked down at his watch and asked.
"No." Xiao Han rubbed his belly and said, "The airline meal provided by the airline was not tasty, so I didn't try it. I'm really hungry."
"It just so happens that I haven't eaten yet, so I'll take you to lunch first." Qin Mo glanced downstairs through the floor-to-ceiling windows, then looked back at Xiao Han, and said, "There should be no e-sports reporters around here, you don't need to wear sunglasses and Masks, just wear a hat to cover your hair, otherwise you will be easily surrounded by people when you walk on the street wearing a mask and sunglasses."
"Understood." Qin Mo was really careful and thoughtful of himself. Xiao Han immediately put the sunglasses and mask on the table, and put down the suitcase as well.
"You bring so much luggage, do you want to live in Nanjing for a long time?" Qin Mo glanced at his suitcase and asked.
"Well, I plan to stay for a week."
"Is the hotel booked?"
"No." Xiao Han looked at Qin Mo seriously, "I came so far to find you, you should let me live in your house, this is called hospitality, right?"
"..." Relying on his poor Chinese, he is playing tricks, he is really good at Dragon Yin! Hospitality? Well, it makes sense. Moreover, there are indeed no good hotels nearby, and it would be too much for Xiao Han to live in a three-star hotel. Qin Mo thought about it carefully, and then said, "Okay, you are staying at my house for the time being, let's go eat first." .”
"Okay." Xiao Han happily followed Qin Mo out, and put his arm around Qin Mo's shoulder, "What's for lunch?"
He didn't want to take advantage of Qin Mo, he just missed him too much.
There was a gap of three years between them. He didn't know where Qin Mo had been or what he had done in the past three years. Now that he had finally met, he always wanted to get closer to this person. When boys express intimacy, they usually hug their shoulders. He thinks this action is just right, and sure enough, Qin Mo didn't avoid it.
When the two of them walked to the front, they happened to meet Shen Qi's sister and brother. Shen Qi stood up and said, "Mohen, are you going to eat? Please..."
Before he finished speaking, Shen He hurriedly grabbed her: "Sister, please invite me to eat hot pot haha, Moshen wants to have dinner with friends, so let's not get involved."
Xiao Han gave Shen He a thumbs up in his heart, looked back at the petite girl standing next to him, and took the initiative to say: "Little Yaoxian, right? Hello, I am Qianli Bingfeng."
Shen Qi was stunned at once - the master who played the dungeon together yesterday appeared in front of him in the blink of an eye, did this person learn the teleportation technique? !
"You, hello..." Shen Qi looked at Qin Mo blankly.
Qin Mo explained: "He is my former friend. He just came from the airport, so I will take him to have a meal first."
Shen Qi suddenly realized: "Oh, you guys go!"
Qin Mo asked, "By the way, is there a better Sichuan restaurant nearby?"
Shen Qi was quite familiar with the places to eat, so she immediately said: "Cross the road and turn right, walk about a hundred meters, there is a Sichuan restaurant called 'Tianfu Renjia', the taste is not bad."
Qin Mo nodded: "Thank you."
***
When the two went out together, Xiao Han suddenly leaned into Qin Mo's ear and asked softly, "Do you still remember that I like Sichuan food?"
Qin Mo looked back at him: "Yeah, you have eaten Western food for so many years abroad, and it was the first time you ate Sichuan food after returning to China. It was so spicy that you cried. Later, I took you to taste all kinds of cuisines, and Sichuan food is your favorite. My favorite dish is 'Husband and wife's lung slices', remember right?"
Xiao Han couldn't help smiling: "Well. Actually, I like this dish. Besides it's really delicious, there's another reason."
Qin Mo wondered, "What's the reason?"
Xiao Han said seriously: "Its name is very interesting, Husband and wife lung slices, it sounds very suitable for young couples to eat together."
Qin Mo: "..."
I knew he had nothing good to say.
Qin Mo was too lazy to argue with him, so he led him forward, crossed the road and turned right, and sure enough, he saw the four big characters "Tianfu Renjia" not far in front of him very conspicuously. When he got closer, the facade of this restaurant used Sandalwood carvings, dining table and stools are also solid wood color, typical Chinese style decoration.
The two went to the second floor to find a private room and sat down. There was an exquisite wooden carved sign on the door, which said the name of the private room "Die Lian Hua".
Xiao Han said: "I know that Die Lian Hua is a poem of Song Ci, right?"
Qin Mo looked back at him in surprise: "You even know Cipai? You've really improved."
Xiao Han smiled and said: "In the past few years, when I am free, I will also read Tang poetry and Song Ci. The Chinese culture is extensive and profound. My father is Chinese. I can't just learn everyday spoken English, but also learn more about these historical allusions. For example, if the two loves For a long time, how can it be day and night. This poem means that as long as two people have a deep relationship, even if they don’t meet every day, they will still not forget each other. I think this sentence describes the relationship between us. suitable."
"... You'd better not use poetry indiscriminately." Qin Mo corrected helplessly, "This line comes from Qin Guan's "Magpie Bridge Fairy", borrowing the legend of the Cowherd and the Weaver Girl to describe the relationship between lovers. How can it be said that as long as a couple loves each other deeply, even if they are separated for a long time, their relationship will remain unswerving until death. It is not about friends."
"Really?" Xiao Han was a little surprised, "What are Cowherd and Weaver Girl?"
"It's a couple in myths and legends. The two are far apart, and they can only meet at Magpie Bridge every Qixi Festival." Qin Mo explained.
"Oh." Xiao Han seemed to understand, "Your Chinese is good, please continue to be my teacher."
Qin Mo raised his eyebrows: "You invited the teacher like this?"
Xiao Han immediately brought over a cup of tea and handed it to Qin Mo respectfully: "Teacher, drink tea."
Qin Mo was amused by his serious expression, brought it over and took a sip pretending to be serious. Xiao Han saw his proud look of raising his chin, and his rosy lips wet with tea, his heart beat a little faster.
Did he really use that word wrong
But why when he first learned that poem, his mind was full of Qin Mo.
At this moment, the waiter came over with the menu and said with a smile, "Can the two gentlemen order?"
Qin Mo took a look at the menu and said, "Husband and wife lung slices, spicy chicken diced, mapo tofu, stir-fried vegetable lettuce, shredded fish-flavored pork, and two bowls of rice, thank you."
Xiao Han couldn't help being moved when he heard the name of a familiar dish.
— After being separated for three years, he still remembers his favorite dish, which shows that he is also thinking about himself.
Qin Mo looks a little cold, but he is actually a very careful and affectionate person. He will definitely remember those who treat him well.
After a while, the waiter brought the food.
Knowing that Qin Mo doesn't like spicy food, Xiao Han consciously swapped the vegetable stir-fried lettuce with the spicy chicken in front of him. Qin Mo looked up at Xiao Han, the two smiled at each other, and started to eat in tacit understanding—in the past, Qin Mo took Xiao Han around to taste delicious food every vacation, and they knew each other's eating habits well.
The food in this restaurant tastes really good, and the two of them were both hungry, eating while chatting, and the table was quickly emptied.
Xiao Han stood up and took out his wallet to take the initiative to pay the bill, but Qin Mo immediately stopped him: "You came all the way to find me, I should pay the bill."
"Okay." Xiao Han didn't show any politeness to him, and said, "I'll invite you later."
Anyway, they will have many opportunities to eat together in the future, so there is no need to worry about this time.
Qin Mo opened his wallet and handed the credit card to the waiter. Xiao Han noticed a photo in his wallet sharply.
That photo looked very familiar, because Xiao Han also had one.
— It was the group photo of the two when they went to the United States to participate in the Miracle World Series. I remember that after taking this photo, Xiao Han said to Qin Mo: "I hope that every year in the future, we can participate in the World Series together. Qin Mo nodded seriously: "Well, take a few more champions back."
Unfortunately, they only participated in that World Series, and Qin Mo retired in a hurry before the start of the second World Series.
Sensing Xiao Han's gaze, Qin Mo immediately closed the wallet, but Xiao Han's hand was faster than him, and snatched the wallet away. Opening the wallet, I looked at the two teenagers standing side by side in the photo. At that time, they were still the same height, with young and immature expressions on their faces. The two of them held up the national team's championship trophy together. The background was a clear sky with white clouds, and the huge statue in front of the main stadium of the first Miracle World Series.
The crowd coming and going around cast curious eyes on them, but the two teenagers stared directly at the camera in front of them as if no one else was there, and the joy of winning the championship could not be concealed in their eyes.
Xiao Han looked back at Qin Mo, and said seriously: "I didn't expect you to carry this photo with you all the time. In the past three years, you also miss me very much, don't you?"
Qin Mo's face flushed slightly, and the thin red color spread all the way to the ears, and the red ears were particularly beautiful.
"Shy?" Xiao Han leaned into his ear and said, "Just think about it, what's the embarrassment? We used to have such a good relationship, you think I should have been."
"You're enough!" Qin Mo snatched the wallet, turned around and walked downstairs with his head down, ignoring Xiao Han who was smiling happily behind him.
Xiao Han was overjoyed, and thought: This is why he became angry again and fled in despair, right
Using these two newly learned idioms to describe Qin Mo's actions at the moment is really very appropriate.
When Qin Mo went downstairs, his heart was still in a stall state. He ran all the way to the bathroom, washed his face with cold water, and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
I don't know why, when Xiao Han saw this group photo just now, he felt embarrassed that his secret had been discovered.
—Put the group photo in the wallet, but be discovered by the other party in person, this kind of thing is really embarrassing to say.
Qin Mo cherishes this photo, not only because he misses his childhood friend very much, but also because he has been using this photo to warn and motivate himself—the you who used to stand on the top of the world, Holding the supreme championship trophy in hand. Now you, how can you give up lightly
