Fall in love with summer flamingos

Gu Shiye had been feeling strange about him these past couple of days. The domineering and arrogant demeanor he had at home was gone, even when he had left for S City with him. Only his coquettish and aggrieved side remained. He figured it was probably because he had left home alone that he had hidden his emotions, and his brother wasn't willing to take the initiative to get close to him. How could such an innate quality suddenly disappear...

Su Yangxia and Meng Zhao waited downstairs for about ten minutes before the two brothers finally came downstairs. Little Chahu still felt a little unsteady on one of his legs, and Gu Shiye walked ahead of him, looking back every two steps, as if he was afraid of losing him...

"We are here, Gu Shiye," Su Yangxia shouted loudly.

The two heard his voice and walked towards this side one after another.

"Why did you get off so late? My legs are numb from squatting." "Please pay the car viewing service fee." Su Yangxia stretched out his hand as if begging for money.

Gu Shiye looked at his car next to him and jokingly asked, "How much is it? Can I pay with WeChat?"

"Tsk... boring guy." Su Yangxia turned his gaze to Gu Shiye next to him. He suddenly felt like watching the fun. He pursed his lips and smiled, his peach blossom eyes slightly curved. "Xiaoye... what's wrong with your foot?"

"Oh, it's okay, I just got a blister. Thank you, Brother Yang Xia." Gu Shiye responded calmly and generously, and he looked just as innocent as when he first met him yesterday.

Gu Shiye suddenly couldn't help but correct him, "Don't call him brother, he is more than two months younger than us."

Su Yangxia shuddered and stood up straight. "What's wrong with being two months older? It's not like he's two years older. Besides... I do have a bit more of a brotherly vibe."

Meng Zhao was drawing circles with one foot beside him, with a hint of annoyance on his face. "Hey guys, can we go now? We can chat on the way. This guy has blisters on his feet..."

Gu Shiye opened the car door and went to the driver's seat. Gu Shiye wanted to go to the passenger seat but Su Yangxia got there first, so he could only get into the back seat and sit with Meng Zhao...

The car started, Gu Shiye clicked on the location Su Yangxia sent him, and set off to the restaurant he had booked.

He had almost never driven on the road since he passed the driving test. He originally planned to let Gu Shiye drive, but seeing that his foot was so injured, he drove on his own. There were many cars on the road and they were on an elevated highway. He was so nervous that his palms were sweating. He didn't listen to anything the people next to him said.

Su Yangxia ordered a barbecue buffet. It was large in scale and had a lot of dishes. The seafood and meat were all fresh. He searched and found out the prices were not cheap. He and his brother were arranged to sit quietly. The other two people came back and forth, carrying plates of meat and seafood that filled the entire table.

Gu Shiye was worried that they would not finish the food and would waste it. He stretched his head to call for help, but the two of them brought two more plates of fruit desserts, as if they would not stop eating until they had earned their money back.

He put the beef, shrimp, and chicken wings he had brought back on the baking tray and started to work on them. He would take out the ones that were cooked and put them aside, or give them to Gu Shiye to eat. Su Yangxia sat opposite him and grilled with him, while Meng Zhao was responsible for eating beside him.

He handed a beautifully roasted chicken wing to Su Yangxia's baking tray, and the other party ate it with great courtesy. After a while, there were a few more roasted and peeled shrimps in his bowl.

"Reciprocity is the norm." Su Yangxia raised her eyebrows and looked at him with a scoundrel smile.

He also ate those shrimps politely. Today, Meng Zhao seemed to have only an open stomach for eating, not a mouth for talking. He kept eating and couldn't stop at all.

The person who talked the most fell silent, and the others also fell silent... The atmosphere was a bit weird.

The two of them politely grilled the food that was in front of them for each other, and Gu Shiye kept an eye on their little movements from time to time, squinting his eyes to look at them every few minutes, and occasionally said to his brother with a sour face that he wanted to eat this or that, and asked his brother to grill it for him

Gu Shiye was grilling crabs for his brother when a boy came over, greeted him politely, and handed him a note. He was a little confused for a moment and then slowly opened the note.

"Hello, I'm Zhan Xiaoyu. I'm waiting for you at the door. I have something to tell you. You must come, otherwise I will wait forever."

He frowned slightly, with a hint of annoyance.

"What's wrong?" The person opposite looked at him with concern.

He handed the note over. Su Yangxia took it in his hand and glanced at it without any emotion. Then he stood up and looked in the direction of the person who had just come. Zhan Xiaoyu was gone. She must have gone outside to wait.

Su Yangxia looked at him with a firm and encouraging look, "It's okay, I'll go with you. It's not good for a girl to wait outside."

He briefly explained the situation to Meng Zhao and his brother, then followed Su Yangxia to the door. When he got there, Zhan Xiaoyu was waiting there. The draft was blowing in gusts, and she was shivering in the cold in her black dress.

He gestured for the girls to find a quieter, warmer place to chat, and so the three of them went to the dessert shop across the street. Su Yangxia sat alone on the stool at the table next to him, while he and Zhan Xiaoyu sat at another table...

He looked at the girl in front of him very politely. "What do you want to talk to me about?" Zhan Xiaoyu raised her eyes and looked at him shyly.

"Have you read the letter I sent you?"

“Sorry, I didn’t see it.”

"Why?" Zhan Xiaoyu's expression changed slightly.

"I don't have that kind of feeling towards you, and I don't have any plans to fall in love right now."

"I won't affect your studies." The girl's voice was a little anxious, and there was a hint of compromise, as if she was afraid of being completely rejected by him.

"I'm really sorry." His tone was no different from his usual one, faint and a little cold. He used the most ordinary tone to reject the girl's budding heart...

"Give me a chance, okay? I really like you, and I've been waiting for your reply. But...if you still can't accept me after we've been together for a while, I promise not to bother you again...is that okay?" The girl said these words with an almost utterly humble attitude, trying to make a final effort...

"In the moment he hesitated, he seemed to be thinking about what kind of answer would reduce the harm to the girl. He also felt it was outrageous. He had done nothing wrong, but he had to bear the crime of hurting others for no reason."

"But"

"One-way love is destined to be a tragedy"

"Love is never just overflowing sympathy"

“Sympathy can never turn into love, because there will always be someone more miserable waiting for your sympathy.”

"First of all, I thank you for liking me." He looked at her seriously and said these words with sincere gratitude. He thanked her from the bottom of his heart because she was the first person who said she liked him.

The girl sat opposite him, looking at him with tears in her eyes, looking extremely sad, as if the man opposite her was a treacherous and invincible scumbag...

"But, sorry, I really don't like you"

After saying this, Gu Shiye instantly felt that the breath of anger he had just held was gone. Following his heart... was his last bottom line for himself and also his mother's greatest expectation of him.

When Zhan Xiaoyu left, she cried bitterly, stood up and said tremblingly, "Don't regret it..." Then she left without looking back.

"When did she write you the love letter?" Su Yangxia sat down in the seat where the girl had just sat.

"Before the holiday, I didn't plan to read it, so I didn't tell her." He confessed everything. "In fact, I have forgotten about it." I just didn't expect to run into her outside of school.

Ding Dong... Both of their phones rang at the same time

In the Iron Triangle group, Meng Zhao sent a message saying that they had finished eating and asked when they would be back. He also said that he saw Zhan Xiaoyu coming back crying. Su Yangxia sent a few QR codes to the group and attached a few words.

"Verify the code at the front desk and evacuate immediately,"

When Gu Shiye and Su Yangxia came out of the dessert shop, the two people opposite also came down from the barbecue restaurant. Gu Shiye's foot seemed to be fine. He and Meng Zhao stood at the door to blow the wind, touching their stomachs that had just been full. The two walked side by side to the opposite side, and the four of them went to the parking lot together, and then drove all the way to the cinema.
