old age

Zhang Yun and Yi Bochuan received their marriage certificate in October of that year, and half a year had passed since Yi Bochuan and Chu Jing divorced.Because it was a second marriage, the two did not hold a wedding, but just invited familiar friends and colleagues to have a small gathering together.The combination of the two is inevitably discussed in the circle of friends around them, but they are all too aware of the meaning of this marriage, nothing more than hoping that they and their children can be taken care of, and that the other party is a suitable candidate.Now that the goal is achieved, don't worry too much about the others.

"I wasn't considerate. I shouldn't have invited her."

At today's party, Yi Bochuan had a female colleague surnamed Li, who probably had heard about their previous relationship and mentioned Chu Jing's name a few times intentionally or unintentionally, making the scene a bit awkward.Yi Bochuan didn't say anything at the time, and apologized to Zhang Yun when he got home.

"What do you want to apologize for?"

"Li Nan is young and ignorant..."

"That's why you shouldn't apologize." Zhang Yun smiled, "But she hasn't been in the job for long, has she? I think she seems to be quite clear about these things about us."

"I took her for a while during her internship." Yi Bochuan explained with some embarrassment.

"That's it." Zhang Yun smiled.

"It's okay, what's the matter. Chu Jing called me two days ago. This is a matter between the three of us, and it has nothing to do with anyone else. If I care about these things every day, I won't pass the time." Zhang Yun sat I comb my hair in front of the dressing table. Today, my hair was coiled, and it was still a little knotted after I took it off.

"Go to bed first." She put the comb aside, "I'll go and see the two children."

"That's right." Yi Bochuan stopped her, "Are you okay tomorrow afternoon, there is a newly opened real estate in the west city, let's go and have a look."

After getting married, Zhang Yun took Ji Kaiyang and moved to Yi's house, and the house where the mother and son lived was rented out.When buying a house, Yi Bochuan had only worked for a few years, had little savings, and bought a small house.Although it is a three-bedroom apartment, one of them is too narrow and has been used to store sundries. After moving here, Ji Kaiyang and Yichen have been living together.Coupled with the fact that the community has been around for a long time and the various facilities are outdated, the matter of changing houses is naturally on the agenda.

"How can I have something on the weekend? But don't you have to go to the company?"

"It's okay to leave a little earlier. At 04:30, I'll come back to pick you up at 04:30." Yi Bochuan picked up his cup and took a sip of tomato juice, which Zhang Yun had just squeezed to sober him up.

"04:30, right? Don't come back to pick it up, just give me the address, and I'll just take a taxi there by myself. It's troublesome for you to run both ways."

Zhang Yun took two pomegranates to the kitchen, broke off the seeds, put them into two small bowls, and served them in.It's the third day of junior high school, and the homework is tight.The school that Yi Chen and Ji Kaiyang are attending now is not bad in N City, but it is much better than it.Yi Bochuan just said that he went to Xicheng to look at the house, partly because one of the best key middle schools in N City, N City No. [-] Middle School is located in Xicheng.As long as Ji Kaiyang's performance is normal, there should be no major problems.But Yi Chen is hard to say. His grades have been rising rapidly recently, but the foundation is not solid enough, and sometimes there are still some fluctuations.However, No. [-] Middle School also recruits high-priced students. Although the school selection fee is expensive, they don't mind spending the money for Yi Chen.

"You check again, do you think this question is like this?"

"Didn't you say you want to add auxiliary lines?"

"It is necessary to add auxiliary lines, but it should not be added here..."

When Zhang Yun entered, Ji Kaiyang was giving a lecture to Yi Chen, and Yi Bochuan changed to a large desk, so the two children would not be crowded.

Geometry questions have always been Yi Chen's weakness, but he will definitely be able to answer them in the senior high school entrance examination.Ji Kaiyang had no choice but to stare at him, and after finishing his homework every day, he would practice a few more.

"Mom." When Yi Chen saw Zhang Yun going in, he happily put down his pen and reached out to grab the pomegranate seeds.He quickly changed his mind, Zhang Yun called his mother the day he moved here, and Ji Kaiyang still called Yi Bochuan Uncle Yi.It's just that the two adults didn't force him for this matter.

"Yi Chen." Ji Kaiyang called him, "Eat after writing the inscription."

Yi Chen's paws just stopped in mid-air, and he let go slowly with great reluctance, and the bright red particles fell back into the bowl.

Ji Kaiyang stuffed the pen into his hand, "Mom, you go out first. He has a backer while you are here, so he always cheats."

"I'm not lying, why are you doing this now, and you're still suing in front of me!"

Ji Kaiyang knocked on the table, "Hurry up and write, I've finished writing right now."

"Brother Kaiyang..."

"Stop doing this, and eat after you finish writing."

Zhang Yun patted Yi Chen's head with a smile, put down the bowl and went out. She never interfered with the two children's affairs. They have their own way of getting along, and even the mother can't get involved.

Yi Chen had no choice but to continue writing while deliberately moaning.The crystal-clear pomegranate seeds were placed in front of his eyes, and he was still struggling with the indistinguishable auxiliary lines.Taking advantage of Ji Kaiyang's turning around to look for books in the bookcase, Yi Chen stretched out his hand restlessly.

"What are you doing?" As soon as his fingers touched the edge of the bowl, Ji Kaiyang's voice sounded.

"You have eyes behind your back?!" Yi Chen was annoyed, and looked down at the exercise book in front of him. The auxiliary line was spent several times, and the eraser could not wipe it clean, and the paper turned gray and black.He got angry and threw the pen on the ground, "I won't write, I won't write anything."

Ji Kaiyang held the book and looked at him expressionlessly.Yi Chen went to the bed and lay down, pulled the pillow over his face, "I'm so exhausted, I started writing after lunch, it's endless."

"When you finish writing, it's over. If you can't finish writing, of course you have to continue writing. This is the only question left. Do you have to give up halfway?" Ji Kaiyang was also a little angry. He didn't know how many times he had said the same type of question. Yi Chen always makes mistakes.Some time ago, his attitude was quite correct, but he did well in the exam several times in a row, and his whole body was floating.

"I won't write anymore, it's already ten o'clock, and I want to sleep." He said and pressed down the pillow with his hands. This is Ji Kaiyang's pillow.The tip of the nose is full of his breath, they obviously use the same shampoo, but Yi Chen can still tell the difference.

It took a while for Ji Kaiyang to speak, his voice could no longer detect emotion, "Then you go to sleep."

Yi Chen has always been a soft-spoken character. If Ji Kaiyang scolded him all at once, he might stand up and have a fight with him. Although this kind of thing never happened during the 15 years they met. never happened.

Now Ji Kaiyang suddenly came out like this, it was like two armies confronting each other, he was already lined up, and the opponent suddenly raised a white flag, saying no more, you won.So to withdraw troops or not to withdraw troops?How embarrassing.

Yi Chen had no choice but to pretend to be asleep, but in fact his ears kept listening to the movement in the room.He heard the bookcase door close, Ji Kaiyang's footsteps gradually approached, and then the mattress sank.Ji Kaiyang took down his pillow, Yi Chen glared at him, and covered his eyes with his hands. "I'm not doing my homework anymore, I'm going to sleep!"

"I heard it." Ji Kaiyang sighed, "Get up and change into your pajamas if you want to sleep, don't lie down."

"It's not warm enough, don't change it." Yi Chen turned inside, "I fell asleep."

Ji Kaiyang tore off the quilt and put it on him, "Take care of yourself."

Yi Chen pretended to sleep to the end, but didn't move.Ji Kaiyang doesn't care about him anymore, he is still awake, he will always cover up when it is cold.

Yi Chen listened to Ji Kaiyang opening and closing the door, turned his head vigilantly, what was he doing out?

Ji Kaiyang came back after a while, and Yi Chen quickly closed his eyes again when he realized that the doorknob was pressed.

Ji Kaiyang didn't look at him, he came in with a basin of water and wiped the ink spots on the ground.Just now Yi Chen flicked the pen happily, and ink ideas flew everywhere.

Yi Chen squinted his eyes and peeked at Ji Kaiyang's back. This time, Ji Kaiyang's back eyes didn't work anymore, and he didn't expose him as before. Instead, it was Yi Chen himself. After watching for a while, he couldn't help but sit up again.He deliberately made a noise, Ji Kaiyang never looked back, and concentrated on wiping the floor, as if there was nothing more important than this.

"Ji Kaiyang." Yi Chen felt guilty and guilty, "Brother Kaiyang, let me do it."

"What are you doing here? I've wiped it clean, aren't you sleepy? Or, you plan to eat the pomegranate before going to bed." He pointed his finger casually, "That's fine, do you want me to pass it to you?", Ji Kai Yang's tone no longer contained the slightest sense of reproach, but it made Yi Chen feel embarrassed and harsh, and his face burned unconsciously.

"I..." He hesitated for a moment, but obediently got up, sat back at the desk, and continued with unfinished questions.

Ji Kaiyang didn't show the slightest surprise at his behavior, he put the basin aside and stood beside Yi Chen.Use earphones to listen to English listening, wait until Yi Chen really can't think of it, and then point out the key step for him.

When Yi Chen finally calculated a number that exactly matched the answer, it was almost twelve o'clock. Fortunately, tomorrow was Sunday, so he could get up later.

"I'm so exhausted, so sleepy, I can't even open my eyes." Yi Chen almost hung on Ji Kaiyang's body and was dragged by him, "I don't want to wash my face anymore."

"no."

Ji Kaiyang terminated the meaningless conversation with a simple and appalling expression.He put a towel on Yi Chen's neck, squeezed toothpaste and put it on Yi Chen's cup filled with water.

After tossing all night, I can finally sleep.

Ji Kaiyang himself was also sleepy, as soon as he touched the pillow, he quickly became confused.

Half asleep and half awake, he felt that Yi Chen was under the bed again, "What's wrong with you? Didn't you say you were sleepy?"

"You forgot to set the alarm clock." Yi Chen used the light that comes with the alarm clock to move the pointer, and still discussed with Ji Kaiyang, "Is it okay to wake up at 08:30 tomorrow? It's so late. I still I am growing my body, not getting enough sleep for eight hours will affect my development."

"Who is to blame? If you hadn't made such a fuss, you would have been lying on the bed half an hour ago." Ji Kaiyang couldn't help but say.

"For a quarter of an hour at most, how can you distort the facts? Besides, I haven't finished my homework in the end. Don't just look at the process and not the result, and only criticize but not praise. You have to give a sweet date even if you slap, You are always like this to discourage my enthusiasm for doing the questions..."

"Okay, 08:30 is 08:30, pay less money, and don't be too active if you don't hit you."

Satisfied, Yi Chen walked back in the dark, he fell asleep on the side against the wall, and accidentally kicked Ji Kaiyang's leg on the way.Ji Kaiyang hastily supported him with his hands, "You might as well ask me to adjust it just now."

Yi Chen crawled back into the quilt with lingering fear, "Aren't you asleep? How can I call you? I was thinking of you so much, but in the end, kindness didn't pay off..."

Yi Chen used to be afraid of the dark, but he lived at Ji Kaiyang's house, and shaking him awake in the middle of the night was a common occurrence, but now he looks more dignified.

But Ji Kaiyang just wanted to fall asleep quickly, "Okay, okay. Go to sleep, thank you."

"Thank you? Which one?"

Ji Kaiyang pressed the quilt for him, "Everyone."
