Be a real Phoenix man

Ye Qingluan used to only know that Fang Yibai was the editor-in-chief of Hualin Publishing House, that he was the reader who supported him the most, and that he was the one he loved, but he never explored Fang Yibai's past.

He didn't know that Fang Yibai, like him, had a childhood that was not considered happy.

Fang Yibai's father passed away unexpectedly when he was very young, leaving his mother Tu Huiqiu to live a difficult life with the little Fang Yibai.

Fortunately, Tu Huiqiu's family is well-off, and the material life of the mother and son is not lacking in protection.Fang Yibai was able to get the best education under the sole care of his mother and completed his studies from preschool to primary school.

It is a pity that the grace of material life cannot fill the spiritual emptiness.

Tu Huiqiu is similar to Ye Qingluan in that he is also a writer. The difference is that Ye Qingluan only writes novels on the Internet and is a representative of new literature, while Tu Huiqiu has a prominent reputation in traditional literature.

Poetry, prose and a wandering heart are her whole personality.

Fang Yibai's father stopped the former wandering mind for a while, but it is a pity that the man has passed away, the old love is gone, and the writer's empty and helpless mind wanders endlessly again.

When Fang Yibai was in elementary school, Tu Huiqiu met the same drifter—an Italian with dark brown hair and dark blue eyes.

The Italian man's handsome, gentlemanly and poetic heart collided with the writer's wandering soul immediately, but in just three months, Tu Huiqiu fell in love with him without hesitation.

She wants to bring two or three pieces of luggage, five or six collections of poetry, and a broken heart, and go with him to pursue the distant place.

At that time, almost everyone in the family disagreed with Tu Huiqiu's rash approach, but Tu Huiqiu didn't care at all.As long as she believes in one thing, she will continue even if she falls to pieces.

The poet's heart is like this, sometimes soft as spring water, sometimes as firm as a rock.

In order to pursue her distant place, she didn't even care about Fang Yibai.Before leaving in a hurry, she asked Fang Yibai if he would like to go abroad with his mother, to see the Aegean Sea in Greece, to see tulips in Holland, and to visit the Champs Elysees in France.

Fang Yibai, who was still in elementary school, shook his head, ignorantly and repulsively refusing to go with that strange man.

So, Tu Huiqiu went into battle lightly, like a kite with a broken string, flying freely.

Speaking of this, Fang Yibai couldn't help laughing, he sneered, and shook his head self-deprecatingly: "At that time, I didn't understand at all what kind of madness my mother had gone into. Okay, why did you go abroad? Why? Want to see the Aegean Sea that is too far away? Doesn’t our country also have seas? Why can’t you take me to Hainan and Sanya to see the sea like usual summer vacations?”

He said, looking down at Ye Qingluan, Ye Qingluan was listening carefully, his two black eyes were like warm black pearls, covered by the warm yellow light in the bedroom, they were too beautiful to see enough.

He couldn't help pecking lightly on the eyelids, and lowered his voice: "Now I know. Because, I also want to go to Greece with Qing Luan to see the Aegean Sea, the Netherlands to see tulips, and France to travel around the Champs Elysees. In the future If we have time, let's go together, okay?"

With this sentence, Ye Qingluan's face was filled with a layer of charming color, he nodded, raised the corners of his lips, and said "good".

Poetry and distance must be experienced together with another fiery heart. Without it, poetry will be ruthless, and distance will be tasteless. With it, every inch of it will be poetic and picturesque.

Tu Huiqiu found her poems and distant places. As for Fang Yibai, he can only be fostered at the home of his younger sister Tu Huijuan.

Every year, Tu Huiqiu would send a large amount of money to Tu Huijuan and Fang Yibai, one for the cost of raising Fang Yibai, and the other for repaying the love of raising Fang Yibai.

Occasionally, Tu Huiqiu would also return to China to visit him, bringing her new paintings and poems abroad, and leaving them for Fang Yibai to think about.

When he was a child, Fang Yibai ignored the kindness from a poet, and only blamed his mother, why he couldn't stay by his child's side forever like Gu Xiaotang's mother, which made him mature prematurely and spend too much time. Grow up early, learn to be a big brother early, be a role model, and be a good boy who doesn't cause trouble for others.

Complaining like this, he piled up all those paintings and poems in a corner of the room and put them on the bottom of the box.

But now, he has his own business and his own house, but he misses those paintings and poems, holds them, and looks back carefully, as if he saw the resolute story of his mother's past. .Romantic, dreamy, false, not like a mundane world, like a fairy tale.

At this moment, the oil painting hanging in Ye Qingluan's room is the gift he received from his mother when he was young.

Ye Qingluan listened quietly, sometimes frowning, and sometimes thinking in his brows.Seeing Fang Yibai's side face immersed in the past, he felt a kind of loneliness for some reason, so he propped up his arms and stretched out his hand to slowly stroke Fang Yibai's cheek.

Just like how Fang Yibai often touches him.

"Your mother must also care about you very much in her heart, but she can't take care of it. Don't be sad, I will accompany you in the future." When Ye Qingluan said this, there was a kind of expression on his small face that didn't fit his personality. His tenacity, his lips were tightly drawn, and his expression was particularly solemn.

Fang Yibai was moved and happy to see it.He couldn't help smiling, rubbed Ye Qingluan's head, and said: "Yes. At this age, when I look back, I can no longer blame my mother. Mother is a poet and a painter. What is a poet? One is mature enough to take care of everything? She's like a child who hasn't grown up."

After he finished speaking, he thought of something, and the smile slowly faded again.

"But my aunt has a completely different character."

The expression on Fang Yibai's face became serious.He had already determined what Tu Huijuan was implying in the words that Tu Huijuan said to him on the phone after the award ceremony that day.

There is no doubt that through Gu Xiaotang, Tu Huijuan already knew his feelings for Ye Qingluan, and even now, she should have learned about Qingluan moving into his house from Gu Xiaotang.

Tu Huijuan, his aunt, was determined not to sit idly by.

Just like when things go to extremes, there will be opposites. The two daughters of the Tu family have completely opposite personalities.Tu Huiqiu is really self-willed, Tu Huijuan is mature and dignified, one has become a poet, and the other has entered the system.

Tu Huijuan never treated him harshly before, but she never gave him extra warmth either.She didn't like her sister's style, her waywardness, and she didn't even like Fang Yibai very much.Fortunately, Fang Yibai was sensible and precocious when he was young, diligent and intelligent in his homework, and did not make mistakes, but he reluctantly spent a peaceful youth in Tu Huijuan's house.

But one thing, he knows that Tu Huijuan attaches great importance to the reputation of herself and her close relatives, maybe it has something to do with her character and career, she has always been strict with him in this regard.

He remembered one time, and that was the only time.At that time, he was in the first year of high school, and he had gradually understood his sexual orientation. He never accepted any girl's confession and affection, and only studied, played basketball, and went to and from get out of class with male classmates every day.Of course, it was just a pure classmate friendship, but because of a failed confession, a girl spread rumors that he was gay, and the reason why he hangs out with boys every day is because he likes men at all.

Fang Yibai just laughed off the rumor.But Tu Huijuan knew about it, and she taught him a lesson.

Those words are still in his ears even today.

Tu Huijuan said that he ruined the family tradition, ruined his reputation, said that he humiliated her and damaged her bright career prospects.

Fang Yibai couldn't argue with his words. At that time, he was not able to compete with Tu Huijuan, so he let her force him to write more than 30 pages of guarantees, and he was bound to sever ties with those boys.

In this way, Fang Yibai spent the remaining two years of high school alone, under the puzzlement of his classmates and the sideways gaze of his teacher.

That's why he was deeply moved when he read Ye Qingluan's "24 Bright Moons".Fortunately, later on, he devoted himself to preparing for the exam and was admitted to a high school in Beijing. Since then, he has been able to completely escape from Tu Huijuan's "nurture".

Now that Tu Huijuan knew - and he didn't intend to hide it from her - he was bound to make Tu Huijuan understand that he wanted to be with Ye Qingluan openly, no one could stop him, and she had no position to stop him.

The two talked a lot in bed, and then they talked about Ye Qingluan's novels from Fang Yibai's mother, and Ye Qingluan's tail, aimlessly and leisurely, as if they wanted to The son finished speaking the words of his life.

Later, Ye Qingluan fell asleep in Fang Yibai's arms, and his breath gradually became shallow and long.

Fang Yibai smiled, he turned off the light, and pressed Ye Qingluan tightly into his chest.
