When we came out of the movie theater, it was past eleven o'clock, and the temperature dropped very low, but there were still quite a few people in pairs.
"Take a taxi back." Bian Nan shrank his neck.
"Well, I'll take you home first." Qiu Yi took out his mobile phone and looked at it. There was a missed call from Qiu Yan on it. He called and told Qiu Yan that he would go home immediately.
"I'll see you off first," Bian Nan glanced at him. In fact, it's fastest for the two to take a taxi separately, but neither of them seems to have this plan, "Er Bao should be in a hurry."
"It's okay, I told him everything." Qiu Yi smiled.
"Stop talking nonsense," Bian Nan opened the door of a taxi waiting on the road, "You're a gentleman with me."
"Okay." Qiu Yi got into the car.
The driver was rarely silent. It was the first time Bian Nan saw such a silent taxi driver, and he wondered if he was about to rob him.
The driver turned on the radio and listened to an emotional program. The hostess was talking about the pain of breaking up and being single in this day when couples all over the world went out to have fun in a slightly sentimental tone.
Bian Nan listened and laughed, but when he said it, he felt a little emotional.
He didn't pay attention to this kind of content before, and if he heard this in the car, he would probably ask the driver to change to Shan Tianfang.
Three feet of Longquan ten thousand volumes of books, what if I was born in heaven? Unable to govern the country and secure the world, pretending to be a real man!
Today, I listened to it with gusto for a long time, and even squeezed Qiu Yi's hand, feeling triumphant and refreshed.
It wasn't until he got home and saw Bian Hao's car parked in the garage that his upbeat mood subsided a little, and then thinking about how Bian Xinyu would react on Valentine's Day, his mood plummeted again. .
There are still people in the living room, Dad and Bian Hao are still chatting.
Seeing him coming back, Dad turned his head and looked at the clock: "Going out with your girlfriend?"
Bian Nan didn't know how to answer, so he answered vaguely while changing his shoes.
"Let's have a bachelor party." Bian Hao said aside.
"Don't tell me they're all single when you come back from playing with your girlfriend." Dad clicked his tongue, then turned to look at Bian Nan, "It's too early."
"Just playing around." Bian Nan smiled, turned around and wanted to go upstairs, luckily Bian Xinyu wasn't here, if she was, this topic might make her lose her temper.
"Hurry up and find a girlfriend," Bian Hao stretched his waist, "To save Valentine's Day and having to be with Qiu Yichen, how hard it is."
Bian Nan's steps to go up the stairs suddenly stopped, his body went numb for a while, his hairs stood on end, he suddenly turned his head to look at Bian Hao.
"What's the matter, I saw you two today," Bian Hao smiled mockingly, stood up again after thinking about it, and changed his smile, "By the way, there is something you need to do for me."
"...Huh?" Bian Nan felt a little dazed, Bian Hao seemed to mean that he had indeed seen him and Qiu Yi, but he didn't seem to think deeply about it.
Most people shouldn't think too much about it, but the premise is that Bian Xinyu hasn't told him that Qiu Yi likes men.
If Bian Hao tells Bian Xinyu that he saw Bian Nan and Qiu Yi wandering in the street on Valentine's Day... Bian Nan is a little nervous, but now it is impossible to suddenly ask Bian Hao not to tell Bian Xinyu.
"Here," Bian Hao walked up to him, took a pair of insole-like things from the small cabinet next to him, and handed them to him, "This is for relieving foot fatigue. I'll tell Xin Yu if she doesn't want it, or you can do it for her." Let me give it to her, or... let Qiu Yi give it to her? I don't think she's been able to make it easy for the past two days."
"Oh," Bian Nan took the insole and looked at it, "Let me give it a try, Qiu Yi gave it to her... it's not suitable."
"Then give it a try, thanks." Bian Hao nodded and went back to lie down on the sofa.
"Go to sleep," Dad waved at him, as if he was a little disappointed with his Valentine's Day with Qiu Yi, "Go to bed early, why don't you go to work tomorrow."
"En." Bian Nan grabbed the insole and ran upstairs.
After entering his room and standing for a long time, he put the piggy that Qiu Yi gave him on the top shelf of the closet, took out his mobile phone and called Qiu Yi.
"I haven't got off the car yet," Qiu Yi answered the phone and said with a smile, "What's wrong?"
"Bian Hao saw the two of us," Bian Nan said in a low voice, "Fuck, why is it so small?"
"... What's his reaction?" Qiu Yi was stunned.
"No response, just laughed at me for coming with you on Valentine's Day." Bian Nan frowned, "It's probably because Bian Xinyu didn't tell him about you."
"You can just do as usual," Qiu Yi was silent for a while, "If... you don't hide it, you must tell me, don't carry this matter alone, you know?"
"I know," Bian Nan laughed twice, "There is one more thing, just... Bian Hao took some insoles to relieve fatigue and wanted to give Bian Xin a message, but she didn't want it, Bian Hao felt sorry for his sister and said that he would go all the way. It's not easy... "
"You want me to speak to Bian Xin?" Qiu Yi immediately came to his senses.
"Well, I said it's inappropriate for you to give it to her. I'll give it to her. She shouldn't say any more," Bian Nan said in a low voice. "It's just to ease the relationship and see how she reacts?"
"It's okay," Qiu Yi thought for a while, then sighed, "I'd be bored to death if I had such a brother."
"I think you're quite capable of worrying, it's just that you worry about it in a different direction than Bian Hao." Bian Nan smiled.
"If you want to go in the same direction as Bian Hao, my dad has already left home with Er Bao." Qiu Yi clicked his tongue.
"Look how proud you are," Bian Nan felt inexplicably better, "Okay, I'll tell you this. I'm going to bed first, I'm too sleepy."
"Well, good night." Qiu Yi said.
After hanging up the phone, Qiu Yi's hands felt a little cold. He had always hoped that this matter would break out after the New Year, and Bian Nan's internship had stabilized. After the New Year, there were not so many things to do, so he could concentrate on dealing with them.
But now it looks like things are hanging around a bit.
He didn't know Bian Hao, but Bian Hao's attitude towards Bian Xinyu, if he knew the truth, he really didn't dare to think about what would happen and how to face it.
He bit his lip, Bian Nan's weird situation at home made it difficult to predict the reaction of everyone in the Bian family.
Sometimes he is very envious of Bian Nan's character of not thinking about things when his heart is in turmoil...
When they got home, the lights had already been turned off. Qiu Yi went into the room and looked at Qiu Yan. The little guy had already fallen asleep clutching his phone.
He used to take the mobile phone from Qiu Yan's hand and put it on the table, then turned and walked out, and entered Dad's room.
"Back?" Dad probably just fell asleep, and was still leaning against the head of the bed, turning on the small radio.
"Well," Qiu Yi sat on the edge of the bed and pulled his quilt, "Why haven't you slept yet? I'm going to cough again soon."
"It's winter, it's normal to cough and cough." Dad tilted his head and coughed as if in response to the occasion, and it took him a long time to recover. "I'm still waiting for you to report to me."
"Report what?" Qiu Yi stroked his chest lightly, "Drink some water?"
"Don't drink, I have to wake up at night after drinking, it's hard," Dad shook his head, "Did you go to celebrate the festival with someone? Waiting for your report."
"It's not like going out with a girl, there's nothing to report." Qiu Yi glanced at him.
"With Shen Tao?" Dad laughed, "Is it Bachelor's Day?"
Qiu Yi smiled: "No, follow Bian Nan."
"Oh," Dad paused, "Now, don't you have a better relationship with Bian Nan than with Shen Tao?"
"It's all good, and it's not the second treasure. If you can get along with this one, it's not good with that one." Qiu Yi stood up and adjusted the whole pillow for Dad, and turned off the small radio, "Hurry up and go to sleep, everyone It's twelve o'clock."
"You have never made the family worry about falling in love early." Dad moved down and lay down on the pillow, sighing, "If you continue like this, you should be worried about falling in love late."
"If you have time to worry about your body," Qiu Yi frowned, "You don't remember what the doctor said last time? There are many problems with your body. If you don't pay attention to it, you will have serious problems. I have an appointment with the doctor next week. Check it out and listen to what people say."
"No," Dad waved his hand, "Aren't you bothering me, running to the hospital all day long!"
"In your situation, those with better conditions should stay in the hospital for recuperation, but we don't have the conditions, and you are bothered by going to the hospital only once in a few months." Qiu Yi sighed, "You really look at death like home. "
"My son is so busy that he doesn't even have a girlfriend. I spend Valentine's Day with my buddies. How about being a father?" Dad closed his eyes and sighed.
"Speaking of which, don't worry about me, who can be more annoying than you," Qiu Yi squeezed his father's shoulder, "Okay, go to sleep, I have to be busy tomorrow, and I'm going to bed too."
"Go to sleep, go to sleep," Dad pulled the quilt, "I can't help it, Daddy..."
Qiu Yi closed the door of his father's room, took a cigarette to the yard and lit it, and squatted at the door of the house with it in his mouth.
Since he was a child, his father trusted him very much. He would not say anything about any decision he made, anything he decided to do, including fighting, and his father rarely scolded him.
But he was not sure what his father's attitude would be if Bian Nan was his boyfriend.
Like my mother, my father also fantasized about his daughter-in-law. It's just that men don't like to think about these things as much as women...
Thinking of his mother, Qiu Yi's hands shook slightly.
Some lowered their heads in pain, staring at the shadows of the grape trellis slanted by the moonlight on the ground.
Withered vines twisted and left tangled shadows on the ground.
Bian Nan wakes up much later than before. He is not used to the days when he doesn’t have to get up early for running. He still wakes up at six o’clock every day, and goes to the gym on the third floor where his father pretends to be a fitness expert. In fact, he has never been in the gym before. Toss around for a while, run and exercise.
When he went downstairs at eight o'clock, Bian Xinyu came out of her room.
When Bian Nan saw her appearance, he couldn't tell what she felt, the dark circles under her eyes could be seen from a distance of several meters, her expression was tense, and her mood was also very depressed.
Seeing him, Bian Xinyu glanced at him and ignored him, going downstairs to have breakfast.
"Xin Yu," Bian Nan called to her, and he had goosebumps when he heard the Xin Yu. He had almost never called that way since he was a child, "That... just wait for me."
Bian Xinyu didn't speak, but stood down and looked at him.
Bian Nan ran into the house and took Bian Hao's insole. As soon as Bian Xinyu came out, Bian Xinyu frowned: "Why, Bian Hao asked you to give it to me? Didn't I say I don't want this thing? It's over after falling on you!"
"Yeah, they all came to me," Bian Nan smiled, "It's not easy, you can take it whenever you need it, or just throw it aside."
Bian Xinyu has been very angry since she was a child, and now that she is in a bad mood, her face is so cloudy that it can rain heavily: "If I want it, I don't want it. Is he still planning to ask Qiu Yi to give it to me! I'm sick!"
As soon as Qiu Yi said the word, Bian Nan's heart skipped a beat, and he held the insole and said nothing.
Bian Xinyu frowned and took the insole from his hand, opened the door of her room and threw it in: "Come on!"
Bian Nan didn't speak, turned around and went downstairs, only to find that Bian Hao was standing downstairs looking up.
"Give it to her." Bian Nan said.
"Oh," Bian Hao nodded, feeling a little depressed after thinking about it, "I guess it won't work."
"It's not that delicate. When I worked hard with your father before..." Aunt Lin smiled at the side, and glanced at Bian Nan in the middle of talking, and didn't say any more, "It's good to be bitter, so bitter If you can’t stand it, you know you’re going home.”
Bian Nan bowed his head and sat down at the dining table. His father was self-made. When Aunt Lin married him, he was just running errands with the mine owner. The two supported each other together, but his own mother should be on the stage.
Bian Xinyu is in a bad mood, no one in the family except Bian Nan knows the real reason, it can only be that everyone is coaxing her carefully, trying to make her happy.
Seeing that Bian Hao was about to dance a gorilla dance for her, Bian Nan kept thinking that if Bian Hao was in a hurry, he would bring up the matter of "Bian Nan and Qiu Yi two poor people celebrating Valentine's Day together" Tell it as a joke.
Fortunately, because Bian Xinyu hurriedly finished her breakfast and went out with a small bag on her back, no one paid much attention to her.
Bian Nan went out after breakfast. There should be nothing to do today. I don't know if there will be any accidents tonight. What about tomorrow or the day after tomorrow...
Originally, Bian Xinyu knew about Qiu Yi, and this wasn't too worrying, but now that Bian Hao has become a ticking time bomb, it's a bit confusing. How could Bian Hao see it so small
But then again, Bian Nan raised his head and let out a breath towards the sky. Even if he didn't see it now, he would be seen in the future. It's too early to see it.
According to the commuting guide given by Qiu Yi, Bian Nan felt a lot more relaxed, and there were still a lot of people in the car, but at least he could take the phone out of his pocket smoothly when the phone rang, and Don't worry about the phone being squeezed by other people's buttocks.
But when he saw Miao Miao's name displayed on the screen, he was stunned: "Miao Miao?"
"Hey, good morning male god." Miao Yuan greeted happily over there.
"...Morning." Bian Nan didn't know why Miao Miao called him suddenly, and when he thought of Miao Yuan's reaction that day, he was a little bit uncertain.
"That's it. Are you an intern at Zhanfei now?" Miao Yuan couldn't hear anything when he spoke, but he felt more at ease than before.
"Well, yes." Bian Nan said.
"If I introduce a friend to you, will that count as your commission?" Miao Yuan asked.
"Introduce a friend?" Bian Nan didn't expect her to mean this, "My internship period doesn't count as a commission, and besides, I'm not a coach, but an assistant."
"Oh... that's boring," Miao Yuan was quite disappointed, "I have two friends here who want to find a good place to play. They have a little basic knowledge, and I want to introduce them to you so that you can earn some money."
"Why don't you bring it here, and you can introduce it to my coach." Bian Nan thought for a while, and Gu Wei's class still had three seats that were not full.
"Okay, I can still flatter you," Miao Yuan was delighted when he heard it, "Then I'll take someone there this afternoon, and I'll call you when the time comes."
"Okay, you..." Bian Nan wanted to ask Miao Yuan if he had any thoughts about what happened that day, but felt stupid, so he hesitated to say anything.
"I'm fine," Miao Yuan responded quickly and said with a smile, "When I think that I'm out of the game, the opponents are even of different genders, and I can't rush to fight. I feel relaxed all over my body. You see, I don't stutter when I talk to you. .”
Bian Nan wanted to laugh a little: "So you don't stutter too much."
"That's because I concealed it well. I knew I should take the Chinese opera exam," Miao Yuan said, "That's how it is, wait for my call, Assistant Bian."
"Okay." Bian Nan smiled and hung up the phone.
Miao Yuan's personality is really good, Bian Nan felt a little bit emotional, if only they were like her.
Bian Nan has been following Gu Wei for a while and has gradually mastered some of the work, and he is also familiar with Rentou a lot, and then he shows the thick skin he got from dealing with the coaches at school... His coaches are different, but at least he can give him a smile on the surface.
"Brother Wei... no, dear brother," Bian Nan and Gu Wei worked for more than an hour to learn to make a training plan for the students, which was not as detailed as the sports school's plan, but it was quite troublesome. Holding Gu Wei's cup, he made a cup of hot tea and brought it over, "I'll tell you something."
"Well, what's the matter?" Gu Wei took the cup.
"A friend of mine said he would bring two people here. He is a little basic, so he really wants to follow you. Do we still have vacant seats here?" Bian Nan said.
"The ones with the basics? The ones with the basics can do it," Gu Wei nodded, "Bring them here. If you don't have the basics, you can do it if you ask, but it's hard to arrange to practice together."
"If I don't have the basics, I just fell back, and it's hard for me to practice with." Bian Nan smiled.
In the afternoon, Miao Yuan called him and brought them here. They were two girls who lived in the same community as Miao Yuan's family. They both went to university in this city. They looked more cheerful than Miao Yuan. Wei clasped his fists together and called Master.
Gu Wei was so happy that he laughed for a long time, tried it, and the two girls did have the basics, so they put them in their own class, and they agreed that they could come and practice from tomorrow.
Miao Yuan didn't say anything to Bian Nanduo, and accompanied the two girls to register and pay the money and left together.
"That Miao Miao," Gu Wei pulled Bian Nan to the small yard behind the lounge and stood down, "Your girlfriend?"
"No, no, no." Bian Nan quickly waved his hand.
"It's fine if you don't," Gu Wei lit a cigarette, "Does she have a boyfriend?"
"...Brother," Bian Nan laughed as soon as he heard it, "What do you want to do?"
"By the way, I was too anxious to ask." Gu Wei smiled a little embarrassedly, "I should ask first, are you an adult?"
"Should be an adult, I've been with me for a year," Bian Nan clicked his tongue a few times, "But I can't just give you the contact information."
"No need," Gu Wei patted him on the shoulder, "Just ask her if she has any impression of that coach today, if she doesn't even have an impression, then forget it."
"Okay, no problem." Bian Nan laughed for a long time, Gu Wei was usually quite relaxed, but he was a little shy when it came to this matter.
Bian Nan called Qiu Yi when he was waiting for the bus to go home from get off work. Qiu Yi was about to receive guests and was very busy, so the two of them hung up the phone after a short while.
But Bian Nan is in a good mood, sometimes people are really easy to be satisfied. Before calling, Bian Nan wanted to see if he could pursue Miao Miao because Gu Wei could express his affection for Miao Miao freely and generously, but he and Qiu Yi could only do it. So worried about when there will be a big earthquake and depressed...
But after a phone call, he didn't feel it anymore. Anyway, he's fine now, which is fine.
Bian Nan's life on this seemingly peaceful day is pretty passable, as long as he listens to Qiu Yi's voice every day, the two of them can relax by chatting a few words.
Calculating according to this rhythm, the Chinese New Year is only a few days away, and I can live this year in peace, and then I can just stretch my neck if I want to do anything afterwards.
Zhanfei even gave out some bonuses before the end of the year, or else he wanted to make progress, the benefits were pretty good, and even interns like Bian Nan got a share.
Bian Nan was very happy, thinking all the way about what gifts to buy for his family with this month's salary plus benefits, and Qiu Yi's second treasure, Qiu's father...
Returning home in a fairly good mood, as soon as he opened the door, he saw Bian Xinyu sitting on the sofa with an unhappy expression on his face, and Bian Hao who was silently watching TV beside him, Bian Nan's heart sank.
Bian Xinyu probably didn't have to go to work tonight. In fact, she had nothing to do at home. She never told anyone about Qiu Yi, but what was depressing was that Bian Hao was also at home. His sister was in a bad mood right now. I cut down the time I spent with my girlfriend, and stayed at home when I had nothing to do.
Each of them holds a clue, and the two of them who can ignite explosives when they meet together are at home at the same time, Bian Nan always has a feeling that he will be blown up in the next second.
"Are you back?" Auntie came out of the kitchen, "I'm back early today, so let's eat early."
"I don't want to eat anymore," Bian Xinyu said as she curled up on the sofa, "I don't want to eat."
"I haven't eaten properly for the past few days," the aunt frowned, "Why do you say this is so tiring after working so hard..."
"Who said it was because of my part-time job?" Bian Xinyu shouted, "I can't have my own troubles!"
"Then what's bothering you?" Auntie sighed, "It's been like this every day, how worried are you?"
"It's okay," Bian Xinyu hugged her knees, "It'll be fine after that."
"Emotional matters?" Bian Hao tried to ask, "It feels like you are on Valentine's Day..."
"Are you annoying! Valentine's Day, Valentine's Day, Valentine's Day, you are a ghost!" Bian Xinyu probably got stabbed in the sore spot, suddenly jumped up from the sofa, and shouted at Bian Haohe as if he had exploded, " Go spend your Valentine's Day, you haven't spent the whole day talking about whether you're annoying or not!"
"Are you sick?" Bian Hao had been yelled at by his dear sister in all kinds of displeasure, and he probably could bear it to the end. He slapped the coffee table, "Why are you crazy on Valentine's Day?"
"Just smoke! I don't want to listen to your Valentine's Day!" Bian Xinyu's voice was trembling, "I'm so stuck! I don't want to hear it or I don't want to hear it!"
"The whole family is coaxing you so much, you should also restrain yourself! You are not alone in the world without a partner for Valentine's Day, why can't you come to your place? It's not a great festival," Bian Hao looked at Xin Yu was about to cry, and suddenly she didn't know what to do, so she glanced at Bian Nan, "Isn't it okay to drag a friend out for a walk? Why do you have to..."
"Oh, what's the noise here!" Auntie ran over, "Bian Hao, why are you yelling at her..."
"What did you say?" Bian Xinyu interrupted her auntie, looking at Bian Hao, "Who are you talking about making a friend..."
The moment Bian Hao said those words, Bian Nan became a little stiff, unable to walk up the stairs, and when Bian Xinyu suddenly turned his head to stare at him, he felt his breathing stopped for a few seconds bell.
Bian Xinyu is not a sensitive person, but in this case, she already knew Qiu Yi's sexual orientation, and Bian Nan felt that Pao Nianzi had been ignited by Bian Hao's unintentional glance.
"Who did you spend Valentine's Day with?" Bian Xinyu stared at him and asked.
