Fall in love with summer flamingos

Gu Shiye walked up to him and gently held his hand, just like when he apologized for doing something wrong when he was a child.

"Brother...I was wrong. I shouldn't have mentioned this."

He looked at his sad and aggrieved brother, as if he was the one who was ruthlessly crushed instead of himself.

"You're not wrong, it's my fault"

He didn't want to stay in this suffocating environment anymore. He urgently needed a place where he could breathe, in the garden, anywhere, or go for a walk outside.

Brother, Brother Mingfan knows you are back, and he asked if you have time in the evening," said Gu Shiye.

He said without hesitation, "Yes, you ask him to find a place." After saying this, he broke free from Gu Shiye's hand and went upstairs without looking back.

He walked to the bedroom, leaned against the door and breathed heavily, then went to the bathroom to wash his face, thinking that after all, he was going out to meet friends, so he had to calm himself down a little and look less embarrassed.

He looked at himself in the mirror. His water-stained face was delicate, but also... cold. He tried to smile, but it looked even uglier than not smiling at all. He didn't give up and showed his teeth again... He sneered, and it made him look even uglier.

He gave up struggling, found a set of sportswear to change into, and went downstairs.

Gu Shiye was waiting for him at the door. He looked at the posture of the person at the door and knew that he could not get rid of the follower.

"Let's go, shall we drive?"

Gu Shiye smiled lightly and shook his head. "No, I have to drink today."

Li Mingfan arranged to meet him at a bar in the city center. Li Mingfan had brought him there twice last year. It was a membership-based bar, unlike those places where all kinds of people came and went. The overall quality of the customers was also relatively high, and there would not be drunk people coming over to harass or chat up.

Li Mingfan is one year older than them and grew up with them. He is Li Mingyuan's only son, a good friend of his father, and also a major shareholder of his father's company.

When Li Mingyuan was young, he was a soldier and a special forces soldier. He originally planned to stay in the army, but was finally forced by his grandfather to retire and return to inherit the family business.

Li Mingfan was known for his playfulness, but he wouldn't do anything rash. He was playful in the literal sense. Two days ago, he pulled the pigtails of the girl sitting in front of him at school. She complained to the office in tears, and his parents were called in. After that incident, his father cut off one of his arms, and it took several days to reattach it. Since then, he's become a well-behaved person, no longer daring to tease female classmates or do anything out of line...

When they got there, the waiter led them to a booth in a corner. Li Mingfan had already ordered a table full of wine, all of which were foreign wines. Seeing him, he was extremely excited.

Hi! Xiaoye, you're finally here...

He patted the seat next to him and motioned him to sit over. Gu Shiye also took the opportunity to sit next to him. Li Mingfan handed them each a glass of wine, and then said to him, "I heard from Xiaoye that you arrived at noon, why didn't you call me?

He took a sip of the wine glass a little embarrassedly and said, "I was a little tired on the road, so I took a nap in the afternoon. I was planning to call you tomorrow."

Li Mingfan nodded with his wine glass in hand, and suddenly seemed to have discovered something interesting. He looked up and down at her for a long time, "You...? Are you using WeChat now?"

"Well, just used it, you know."

He looked at Li Mingfan, who had a dissolute look on his face. "Tsk, what? Do you think I'm a fool? You changed your profile picture from the original one to this black humor one..."

After a while, he leaned over and stared at him for a few seconds. "Then you have to reply to my WeChat messages next time, otherwise I will beat you up first." Li Mingfan pretended to be serious and raised his fist to scare him.

He thought Li Mingfan was quite childish, so he wanted to tease him. He tried hard to recall Su Yangxia's expression when she teased him, then he looked at Li Mingfan and said, "Then you beat him up first."

Li Mingfan was choked by his sudden joke. "You laughed! Wow, you've really improved. You've learned to joke after just one month there. This is a big breakthrough for you..."

Come on! I'm rooting for you! He patted him on the shoulder as if to encourage him.

Gu Shiye felt that he was really encouraged. He looked at Li Mingfan very seriously.

"Okay, I'll try my best."

Gu Shiye on the left was ignored and drank one glass of wine after another without saying a word. In just a short while, he had already finished three or four glasses. His face was flushed and he sat down on the sofa.

"Xiao Ye, don't drink anymore, you'll get drunk soon." He persuaded his brother who was trying to quit drinking and get drunk. He looked sad and pitiful, but he was obviously the one who needed to get drunk.

Xiao Yezi, hey... stop drinking. If you continue drinking, you'll have to pay for the bill. The wine is expensive. Today is a welcome party for your brother. I smashed my piggy bank when I went out. Li Mingfan patted his face lightly.

Brother Mingfan, you are a liar. Don’t you use several cards in turn?” Gu Shiye said, raised his hand and made a card swiping motion, laughed dryly twice, “It’s still unlimited.” After that, he poured himself a glass and prepared to drink another one.

He reached out and grabbed it, and poured it into his stomach. Gu Shiye watched him drink the wine, frowned and looked at him unhappy, without saying a word, and then fell down in a few seconds. He quickly grabbed him and settled him down on the sofa.

He sat up straight, shifted his butt, and moved closer to Li Mingfan, "Did you really smash the piggy bank?

Li Mingfan hooked his arm around his neck and sighed, "Really? My dad stopped my card and said he'd give it back to me after I finished the college entrance exam, and now he's giving me this amount in just one month." He held up three fingers, his face full of disbelief. "How can this be enough? Damn, this amount isn't even enough for a bottle of wine, and he's asking me to use it for a month. How dang cruel..."

That night, they chatted over a lot of things, one cup after another. Li Mingfan emotionally recounted how much he missed him, angrily recounted his complaints about the school, and repeatedly mentioned how stingy his father was.

He said that he had just met a girl he liked at school and planned to pursue her seriously, but ended up becoming a sophisticated pauper. He also mentioned that his father asked him to go to the UK, and that Li Mingyuan and Gu Haiyang had discussed the matter of going abroad and decided to send the three of them to the UK to study business management and train successors so that they could retire peacefully and spend their old age in peace.

At the end, he and Li Mingfan helped the drunk Gu Shiye, and the three of them staggered out of the bar side by side. He stuffed the drunk into a taxi. Li Mingfan hugged him with a drunken emotion and patted his back again and again.

"That's great, Xiaoye. I'm so happy to see that you've changed."

He also tried hard to respond, patting Li Mingfan again and again.

"Brother Mingfan, I'm also very happy to meet you, and...thank you.

After the two said goodbye, they each took a taxi. It was already half past ten when they got home. Aunt Lin saw him carrying his brother into the house and immediately brought out some wine soup from the kitchen.

He put the man on the stool, and Gu Shiye half of his face was lying on the table. He drank his own bowl first, then helped the drunk man up, pinched his mouth open and tried to pour the drink in little by little.

"Drink it and don't spit it out, otherwise you will have to sleep alone at night."

The drunkard obediently gulped down the drink, and then he called Aunt Lin to help him carry the man upstairs. The drunk man was very heavy, and Aunt Lin, who was not tall, was knocked around by him and couldn't stand steadily.

He asked Aunt Lin to hold him from behind, bend over and lift him onto her back. By the time she got him onto the bed, she was exhausted.

He lay there and rested for a few seconds, then got up, took off his shoes and clothes, tucked him into bed, covered him with the quilt, got up to get a hot towel, half-knelt on one leg on the bed, bent over and wiped his face. The person on the bed was mumbling and tilting his head. He turned his face back and wiped it quickly a few times. The person on the bed was already breathing shallowly. He turned around and went to the bathroom to take a shower, then lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
