At twelve fifteen in the night, Tao Xiaodong's cell phone rang.
Tang Suoyan: Happy birthday Xiaodong, I'm home, don't worry.
Tao Xiaodong replied: Rest early, Brother Yan.
Tang Suoyan: Haven't slept yet
Tao Xiaodong: No, I'm going to sleep.
Tang Suoyan replied: Good night then.
Tao Xiaodong also returned one.
The two of them never called today, only two messages from Tang Suoyan in the morning and the evening. Tao Xiaodong didn't say anything to him, he was too busy.
The next morning Tao Xiaodong just opened his eyes, Tao Huainan fell asleep beside him. Tao Xiaodong lifted the quilt and covered him. Tao Huainan woke up and said in a nasal voice, "Happy birthday brother, be safe."
"Thank you." Tao Xiaodong raised his hand and touched the back of his head, "Go to sleep."
"Egg." Tao Huainan handed one from his hand, "Brother Ku got up early and cooked it, you should get rolling."
Tao Xiaodong smiled and asked, "Get out now? Get out while lying down?"
"Stand up and roll." Tao Huainan smiled, "You stand up and I'll give you a bone."
Their family's habit is to roll eggs around on their birthdays. Tao Huainan rolled very seriously. After rolling, he put the eggs in his pajamas pocket and ate them later.
Chi Cheng got up early in the morning and cooked him a bowl of noodles, a small bowl of longevity noodles, and Tao Xiaodong finished it.
He really doesn't have any feeling about having a birthday or not. At this age, he is generally indifferent to birthdays. Unlike when I was a child, I could look forward to new clothes and a table of meat.
There is no hope now.
Xia Yuan hadn't seen Tao Xiaodong for a while, so he thought about it. Now that Tao Xiaodong is celebrating his birthday, it is impossible for him not to toss. This person loves to play and play, even when he was in school.
Tao Xiaodong really hasn't come out to see friends for a long time. During this time, he has been patronizing himself and falling in love. These people thought he was out again.
Tao Xiaodong was embarrassed to say that he didn't go out, he just didn't come out to find you.
There is no work in the store today, there is no reason for you to go out and make fun, we still keep the work, and the money is not earned, so go out and wave. The place is set by Xia Yuan, his friend's club, stop and do whatever.
They also came with their old friends, as well as a few tattoo artists in the same city who have a strong relationship with Tao Xiaodong.
As soon as Xia Yuan saw Tao Xiaodong, he came over and put his arms around his shoulder, smiling like a cheap face: "Who the hell is that person? Are you coming?"
Tao Xiaodong shook his head: "No."
"Why don't you come?" Xia Yuan quit, "Why didn't you come?"
Tao Xiaodong said, "I didn't say it."
"What's the matter with you?" Xia Yuan said "tsk", "Don't want to bring it out to meet?"
Xia Yuan has a personal choice in his heart, and he feels that he is inseparable from ten. I also felt embarrassed when Tao Xiaodong couldn't wipe it off. The more sensitive person said "Hi": "Don't be burdened, it happened many years ago for me, my brothers don't care about that."
Tao Xiaodong didn't even think about his stubbornness at all, and now he remembered when he said Tao Xiaodong, "Ah": "Who cares about your Chen sesame and rotten millet."
After thinking about it, Xia Yuan was still not convinced, and said to him: "You said that my mind was not on the stage at the beginning, but if you dare, you will come on the stage now?"
Tao Xiaodong remembered that there was such a thing, and was a little embarrassed: "It's not necessarily something."
"Don't be sure, I think it's pretty good." Xia Yuan thought about that person's appearance and temperament, which is quite suitable for Tao Xiaodong, "Good luck makes people."
Tian Yi came over after parking the car, heard them talking at the door, and came over and asked, "What is good fortune to trick people?"
Xia Yuan owes his mouth: "You are 80% old Tieshu about to bloom."
"Who, it's impossible." Tian Yi was actually very firm, "I don't know if you can know?"
Tao Xiaodong couldn't listen anymore, so he went first. These two have been a little silly since they were in school, and now they always feel that they are not going anywhere.
After all, those in the store are young, and they are not too familiar with friends like Tao Xiaodong. They do not follow this circle and play on their own. Rhubarb is familiar with these people, and there is no one who is familiar with Tao Xiaodong who does not know Rhubarb.
On the wine table, Rhubarb drank the first cup first, saying thank you for taking such care of Xiaodong.
Xia Yuan can't do it anymore. He did the game. Rhubarb grabbed the first glass of wine. What's the relationship? Xia Yuan immediately raised the second cup and said the same thing.
Tian Yi stopped doing it, stood up and said, "No matter what, you two have to stay behind for a while. Xiaodong and I have known each other since junior high school. When we were fighting, you didn't know where to put them."
After going down these three cups, anyone who wants to stand up will be directly pulled off by the person next to him: "Hurry up and sit down."
I didn't say anything, I didn't eat, I came up and went down with three glasses of wine. It seems that this wine is going to be a wolf today, and Xia Yuan has said that it will be too big, that is, it can't be good.
All the people at the table are men, so you can't listen to the words at the wine table. Pierced ears.
"Hey, the waiter is here, pause first." The waiter came in to take something, and someone stopped him.
The waiter was a little boy in his early twenties, and he blushed when he heard a few words from them, he smiled and hurried out.
"It's scary to see people's children, can you talk a little bit." Tian Yi, a straight man with a duty, took out his mobile phone and sent a WeChat message to his wife: Daughter-in-law, they are so dirty.
His wife replied: Who are you stronger than.
Tian Yi put away his mobile phone, since he said so, and everyone was chatting, he also stopped playing with his mobile phone.
"Don't say these things in front of me, you all have the ability to vent your anger. How many years have I been single?" Tian Yi sat next to Tao Xiaodong and patted Tao Xiaodong's leg, "It's so quiet in the middle of the night that it's so frustrating."
Tao Xiaodong has no object, that is an eternal topic, Tao Xiaodong does not refute, he has not talked much today, just leaned back in his chair and listened to their nonsense.
"Look at the cocoon on your east hand." Someone said.
Following these words, a group of stinky old men continued to talk, dirty and dirty. Tao Xiaodong also laughed, and when he laughed, the drooping arc at the end of his eyes had the taste of a man in his thirties. Not too young, but not old either.
At the age of worrying, I have experienced many things, and I have experience and achievements. But there is still energy in his eyes, and there is still youthful light, not really like the old man who can only see through everything indifferently.
The more you touch, the more delicious the age.
"Don't be ashamed of me endlessly." Xia Yuan coughed twice, sat on the other side of Tao Xiaodong, leaned on Tao Xiaodong's side, and said, "I have someone."
Tao Xiaodong lowered his eyes and smiled and said "no".
"Don't be ashamed." Xia Yuan pretended to be half of his insider, "The guy in the east brought out all of you and compared them to each other. You all look like this."
Tao Xiaodong said: "Really not."
The people at the table jeered and said, "If there's someone in the East, I'll bring it out earlier, and let you all humiliate him? Still not there."
Tao Xiaodong nodded and smiled lightly: "Yes, not really."
Alcohol numbs the nerves, but also makes people sober.
Tao Xiaodong is sitting here with his familiar brothers in front of him. Looking at them, Tao Xiaodong can see how he has come step by step over the years, and he can see more clearly what kind of person he is.
People are fundamentally different from one another, and the gap is too great. Confused to see clearly. As soon as people have desires, once they want something too much, they will naturally become confused.
Some things should not be yours, not yours. You especially want it, but people don't want it.
How can emotional things come to an end, don't be confused.
Alcohol is too high, and my mind is messed up for a while.
The eyes are also messy, and the ears are also messy.
Tao Xiaodong drank a glass of wine and burned it all the way down the esophagus from the throat.
"When I said I was thinking about someone, you said that people don't look down on me, I'm not the same person." Xia Yuan thought about Bai Yueguang as soon as he drank, but now it's even more difficult to calm down, "Slip or you slip, dong, routine. I."
Tao Xiaodong gave a low "um": "I'm confused."
"What are you confused about, you are the most **** you are!" Xia Yuan said to him, "You have grown up in your heart."
Tao Xiaodong then said: "The heart is still not enough."
There was a mess in my head that couldn't be solved.
Tao Xiaodong took a cigarette case from Xia Yuan's hand, took out one, lit it, and bit it. The smoke ignited and choked his eyes, Tao Xiaodong narrowed his eyes.
"When I asked you the fuck if you were interested in people, you didn't tell me the truth, and pretended to be two to five or eighty thousand with me." "
"I think you are humiliating me."
He rambled about something Tao Xiaodong didn't take too seriously. He heard a few sounds and asked him, "When did you ask me?"
"Didn't I fucking ask you in the first place? Back then!"
Tao Xiaodong was sluggish. After thinking for a long time, he bit his cigarette and mumbled, "Who are you asking?"
"Fuck it, pretend," Xia Yuan exposed him, "Tang—"
"Excuse me."
Suddenly a voice came from the door, and someone was led in by the waiter. His eyes swept around Tao Xiaodong and walked in that direction.
Tao Xiaodong was a little stunned and looked at him.
Tang Suoyan took a bunch of orange gerbera flowers, and there were people sitting on the left and right. He put the flowers behind him and put them on Tao Xiaodong, Tao Xiaodong reached out a little sluggishly.
"Happy birthday." Tang Suoyan leaned a little because of the action of handing the flowers, "I have an operation, I am a little late."
Tian Yi reacted, stood up and said, "Sit Brother Xue!"
Tang Suoyan was not polite. He took off his down jacket and wore a shirt inside, which was directly from the hospital. Putting the coat directly behind Tao Xiaodong's chair, he said, "The place is not easy to find, and the navigation gave me the wrong way."
Xia Yuan said "Tang" in his mouth, unable to get up or down.
Is it possible that the other person in front of him doesn't know him? When he was young, he was dazzling enough, but now at this age, his temperament is not to be mentioned. It's a little less juvenile than before, but it's too many to count.
After Tao Xiaodong regained his senses, he quickly took the cigarette out of his mouth and pinched it. He stood up and said, "Tang Suoyan, my brother Yan."
He also had a bunch of flowers on his body, which almost fell when he stood up like this, and he quickly reached out to catch it.
Tang Suoyan took his glass directly, and there was half a glass of wine in it. Tang Suoyan smiled gently and said, "When we meet for the first time, let's have a glass of wine with everyone. I don't know how to drink, so just use this glass to add to the fun, don't pick me up."
Tao Xiaodong wanted to stop him, but Tang Suoyan blocked his hand. When the two hands were hanging down, Tang Suoyan squeezed in his palm and drank the glass of wine.
If you're all here, if you don't understand it anymore, you're blind.
Xia Yuan said "Tang" in his mouth and said it again, and greeted: "Doctor Tang."
Tang Suoyan finished drinking and sat down in Tian Yi's place just now. Here, he only knew Tian Yi and Da Huang, and he didn't remember the rest. Tao Xiaodong introduced him one by one, and Tang Suoyan smiled and nodded when he was introduced.
From right to left, the last one arrives at Xia Yuan.
"This is Xia Yuan, Lao Xia." Tao Xiaodong said.
Tang Suoyan remembered the name, smiled and said, "I often hear Xiaodong mention it, and I see it."
The feeling in Xia Yuan's heart is quite difficult to describe.
Back then, when he was thinking about Tangning, he was taken away with a knife. Now his iron brother said someone was there, and it was this one again when he opened the door. Xia Yuan also smiled and said while laughing, "We have a very deep relationship."
In fact, Tao Xiaodong hasn't reacted too much until now. He never told Tang Suoyan about eating here. When Tang Suoyan suddenly appeared, his mind was dumb.
He asked in a low voice, "How do you know you're here, Brother Yan?"
Tang Suoyan glanced at Tian Yi: "Junior brother told me."
Tian Yi sat next to him and heard it too. Yesterday, Tang Suoyan went to meet the two of them. When Tang Suoyan asked him about this, he thought he was just asking politely. Who knew he was coming!
He knew that the two knew each other, and they had a good relationship.
But now with flowers and such an attitude, what does this mean!
Tian Yi looked at Xia Yuan, Xia Yuan also looked at him, the two looked at each other across the two seats, one was more confused than the other.
Xia Yuan asked him with his eyes: What's going on!
Tian Yi lip-synched: Who the hell knows!
