Yesterday

Xu Yanqing received a call from Li Wenshan.

"Zhou Han is here, and she asked us to meet," Li Wenshan continued without waiting for Xu Yanqing's answer, "I haven't seen you for several years, come all the way, don't you shirk?"

"Why should I shirk?" Xu Yanqing knew that Zhou Han came to City A and would meet up sooner or later, "Okay, you can make arrangements."

Back then, the three of them were members of the school's entertainment department, and their relationship had always been good.Li Wenshan was the former minister. After he was promoted to senior year, he passed the position of minister to Xu Yanqing, who was only a sophomore at the time, and Zhou Han, who was also a sophomore, served as the deputy minister.

Zhou Han had just arrived, Xu Yanqing's living conditions were not good, and Li Wenshan was too embarrassed to make them spend money, so he was the host of the party, and booked a private room at a famous local private restaurant.

Zhou Han wore a plain dress today, with long hair tied behind his head, and light makeup. He looked more mature than when he was in school.She took the initiative to greet Xu Yanqing: "Yanqing, long time no see."

"Yes," Xu Yanqing replied with a gentle smile, "Long time no see."

After the three chatted, it seemed that they returned to their school days naturally without any embarrassment.Zhou Han talked about his work and life in City S for the past two years, and how he felt when he first came to City A.

"It's not bad here, it's very convenient, and the price is not high."

"Not as lively as City S?" Li Wenshan asked.Like Xu Yanqing, he is from City A, and it was decided long ago to return to his hometown after graduation.

"So what's the excitement?" Zhou Han lowered his head, "It's all other people's excitement." After speaking, he glanced at Xu Yanqing.

"Anyway, welcome to Miss Zhou." They didn't drink, Li Wenshan raised the cup containing the drink, "Come, Yanqing together."

Both Li Wenshan and Zhou Han came by car, and Zhou Han offered to send Xu Yanqing home after the meal.Li Wenshan knew the reason why she came to City A, so he wouldn't take her face lightly, and Xu Yanqing didn't refuse either.

Zhou Han is not yet familiar with the road conditions in City A, so Xu Yanqing is in the co-pilot to help her as a guide.When the car drove into the village in the city, Zhou Han was taken aback.

"Yanqing, you...are you living here now?"

"Well, Wenshan helped me find it."

"How did he find this kind of place for you?" Zhou Han frowned, his tone displeased.

"It's pretty good here," Xu Yanqing explained. "There are many bus stops outside, and it's close to the market. It's convenient to buy things. The most important thing is that the price is cheap."

Zhou Han wanted to say something else, but seeing Xu Yanqing's lack of interest at the beginning, he didn't say anything.

When she was about to arrive, she asked again: "How is Auntie now?"

"It's okay, this kind of disease can't be rushed, you can only take it slowly."

"Can I—go in and see her?" After parking the car, Zhou Han opened the trunk and took out a few gift boxes inside, "I brought some things for auntie."

It was still early, Xu Yanqing nodded and asked her to come in.

Shen Jialan was watching TV in the living room, when she saw a strange woman coming in with her son, she was obviously taken aback for a moment, and then tried to stand up while leaning on the sofa.

"Auntie, sit down quickly."

The sequelae of Shen Jialan's cerebral hemorrhage made her legs and feet uncomfortable. Seeing this, Zhou Han hurriedly stepped forward with Xu Yanqing to help her.

"Hello, Auntie. I'm Yanqing's alumni. I just arrived in City A recently." Before Xu Yanqing could speak, Zhou Han introduced himself to Shen Jialan.

"Oh, hello." Shen Jialan understood, she turned off the TV, and asked Xu Yanqing to boil water to make tea.

"Don't worry about it, I'll be leaving right away," Zhou Han put down the things in his hands, "Auntie, here are the nutritional supplements for you."

"I'm sorry to trouble you." Shen Jialan said.

It was only then that Xu Yanqing noticed that the few gift boxes that Zhou Han took were supplements and Chinese herbal medicines, and Shen Jialan couldn't eat them.He knew that Zhou Han was also kind, and bought the wrong thing because he didn't know the situation, so he didn't point it out, and thanked her with a smile.

Zhou Han and Shen Jialan had a brief chat, fearing that it would affect her rest, so they left early.

After Xu Yanqing sent her out before returning to the house, he saw his mother sitting upright on the sofa, looking at him with deep eyes.

"Yanqing," Shen Jialan called her son to her side, and asked straightforwardly, "What's the matter with this girl?"

"What's going on?" Xu Yanqing frowned slightly.

"Do you know each other well?"

"Not really, we just stayed in the student union together." Xu Yanqing tried to put it lightly, he didn't want his mother to think too much about his relationship with Zhou Han.

Shen Jialan slowly breathed a sigh of relief: "You have also reached this age."

"Mom," he said quickly, knowing what his mother meant, "I'm only 25 years old, how come I'm old?"

Shen Jialan didn't pay attention to his words, and asked again: "What about Qin Yu?"

"What's wrong with Qin Yu?" Hearing her mention Qin Yu's name, Xu Yanqing's heart suddenly jumped twice.

"Don't think I can't see it," Shen Jialan smiled kindly, "Both of them are interested in you."

"Cough," Xu Yanqing was a little nervous at first, but seeing that Shen Jialan was not angry at all, he followed her words and half-jokingly tried: "Mom, then who do you think is more suitable for me?"

Shen Jialan glanced at him: "Didn't you just say that you're not old enough?"

"Yeah." Xu Yanqing was embarrassed, "so I just talked casually."

"Let me tell you..." Shen Jialan withdrew her smile and looked a little serious, "It's Qin Yu."

Xu Yanqing was shocked by his mother again, did she realize the fact that Qin Yu is a boy?

"Why?" Xu Yanqing smiled, "He's a man, Mom, you really don't mind?"

"So what if you mind," Shen Jialan said with an expression of "You don't want to get cheap and act like a good boy", "Because you like him."

Xu Yanqing's different attitudes when facing Qin Yu and Zhou Han had already caught every detail in Shen Jialan's eyes.

Xu Yanqing, who was used to being calm, was also blushing with embarrassment at this moment, but he didn't expect his mother to reveal his hidden thoughts in a few words.Probably, it is Zhi Zi Mo Ruo Mu.

"So, did he talk to you?" Shen Jialan asked again.

"Uh...no," Xu Yanqing shook his head, "You also know that he has a thin skin, so why would he have the nerve to confess his love so quickly?"

"He's embarrassed to say it, so you can say it first!" Shen Jialan continued to speak surprisingly.

Xu Yanqing: "..." In the eyes of his mother, does his son have a thick skin?

Xu Yanqing lay on the bed, feeling more relaxed than ever.

That night, Qin Yu was not the only one whose mood changed.

As Li Wenshan said, Xu Yanqing was a god-level existence in college, and there are quite a few people who have had a good impression of him and even acted on him.He is cheerful, willful, and speaks out of tune...but he never really leaves room for others to be ambiguous.Perhaps deep down in his consciousness, he disdains being tied down by anyone.

For Qin Yu, at first he just thought it was fun.Xu Yanqing is the only child in the family, he thought if he had a younger brother, would he be like Qin Yu?

I remember one time outside the training ground, watching Qin Yu, who had just entered school, participate in military training, standing upright in a military posture, motionless, but when he saw himself not far away, his eyes suddenly enlarged, and the corners of his mouth almost grinned.The instructor yelled, "Where are you looking!" Qin Yu reluctantly looked away and continued to look ahead.Li Wenshan was also there at the time, and said to him, "Your primary school boy is really interesting." Xu Yan smiled lightly, yes, he is just so interesting.

Xu Yanqing knew that Qin Yu was hurt by leaving without saying goodbye.However, there are so many people who care about him and worry about him. In fact, he didn't tell anyone, and asked the school to keep the reason for leaving.Later Li Wenshan contacted him and scolded him severely, but he just smiled and perfunctory.Only towards Qin Yu, he always had an indelible sense of guilt and loss.

Until again, the eyes in the coffee shop crossed, and Xu Yanqing understood the emotion in Qin Yu's eyes.Then, he ran from behind and hugged himself.Xu Yanqing felt the damp heat on his shoulders and the vibration of his chest from behind.He suddenly realized what he had missed all these years.

It feels like an abandoned seed, growing silently in an inconspicuous place, and when I look back, it has grown alone.

He was originally scruples about his mother's attitude, so he didn't dare to spread the matter rashly, but it turned out that he was overthinking.In fact, the reason why Shen Jialan can see it is not difficult to understand: she experienced a drastic change in her life a few years ago, and she has nothing to cling to, her only attachment is her son.As long as Xu Yanqing is happy, as long as he lives happily, she doesn't care about anything, not to mention that Qin Yu's child is wholeheartedly good for him.
