Shallots

After continuous cloudy and rainy days, it finally cleared up on Saturday. Qi Feiran looked out the window and breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the long-lost sunshine.It has been more than three months since I returned to China, and I still am not used to this humid and rainy environment.

The field outside the scene must be muddy, and the indoor gymnasium has no reservations, and there are basically no seats. Thinking of the billiard hall he passed by on his way home, he put on his coat, picked up his mobile phone, and walked out of the house.

"Different Space" billiard hall is located on the first floor of Hongda Plaza. The exterior decoration is cold and windy, with gray walls and black and white billiard balls painted with watercolors.

Qi Feiran walked in to have a look, but fortunately there were not many people today, the girl at the front desk welcomed him with a smile, charged him on time, and called a caddy to give him a start.He hit a white cue ball, and the colored balls scattered in all directions. His broad-shouldered upper body stretched forward and pressed against the table, his head was slightly raised, his thin chin was close to the cue stick, and a pair of sharp eyes aimed along the direction of the cue stick. , After hitting the ball, the green ball was beautifully pocketed.

Suddenly, he heard a hahahaha laughter, which was slightly familiar. He stood up and looked around, but he didn't see that person. He lowered his head and laughed secretly. Has he already hallucinated?Then he shook his head and started aiming at the second ball.

At this time, a man and a woman walked in outside the door, before they arrived, the woman's faint fragrance had already wafted slowly, Qi Feiran couldn't help frowning, stood up and wiped the pole.

Qi Shihai walked slowly with his arms around a girl with heavy makeup and long hair and black leather skirt. "Isn't this my cheap brother? Why do you come to play in this small place?"

Qi Feiran guessed that Qi Shihai must have asked someone to find out where he lived. In order to go to school in a low-key manner and not let everyone discover his identity, Qi Feiran rented a single apartment by himself. It was close to the school and he didn't need a car to pick him up and drop him off. It was quiet and comfortable, anyway. In that big villa, my father never came home.

And in that house, his half-brother Qi Shihai was never allowed to step in.

"Following me so closely, do you want pocket money?" Qi Feiran kept his eyes on the lever, and continued to pull the lever left and right to aim at the second target.

These words touched Qi Shihai's back in an instant.It is said that Qi Shihai's mother is a member of a high-end club. Through some improper means, Qi Shihai and Qi's father had Qi Shihai. His mother hid in Tibet, and finally saved him, and kept extorting a large amount of alimony.

Calculated by age, if Qi Feiran hadn’t had some incidents abroad, he is now 21 years old, and he should be a freshman. In order not to enter a third-rate university arranged by his father or relying on his relationship, Qi Feiran insisted on transferring to the third year of high school. , Relying on his own to enter the university.

This younger brother is currently in the third year of high school like himself, which is a bit ridiculous when you think about it.

Qi Shihai picked up a ball and slammed it on the table, "What are you talking about? Did I take your money?"

Qi Feiran dismissed it, picked up the ball he had dropped on the table, and put it where it was just now.

"I hate your superior look. You are a prince, aren't you awesome?" Qi Shihai gritted his teeth.

"Knowing that I'm the crown prince, why don't you kneel down? I don't understand, what are you always doing with me?" Qi Feiran held the cue perpendicular to the table, and with a strong force, the white ball rolled rapidly and hit the blue ball, entering bag.

Qi Shihai bumped into Qi Feiran with his shoulder, "I want to see what is so great about my Jingui brother, that he can be the master of Hongda in the future."

Insatiable greed, having money and wanting power, Qi Feiran snorted inwardly.

"Watermelon juice, mango juice, grape juice, everyone want... Are you following me?" Lin Shixin, a caddy who was earning extra money and was wearing a white shirt, black vest and red bow tie, looked suspiciously at Qi Feiran.

"Haha, I don't know who's following who." Qi Feiran stared at Lin Shixin, neither laughing nor laughing.It seems that the ghostly laughter just now came from him.

"My dignified president, what are you doing after you, Xiao Mengxin?" He said and stretched out the juice tray in front of them, Qi Shihai waved his hand away, and the long-haired woman beside him took a glass of grape juice.Lin Shixin blinked at Qi Feiran, then turned to other tables to deliver drinks.

Looking at his back, Qi Feiran felt inexplicably better. He glanced at Xin Jin's thin lower back when he went down to the forest, and whistled for some reason.

Qi Shihai and the woman beside him stayed where they were.

"My friend is here, I won't quarrel with you today, I'll come back where I came from." After finishing speaking, he was still looking at Lin Shixin's back behind the curtain.

"Sure enough... foreign style, it's not for nothing to study abroad, so let's talk about it." Qi Shihai calmed down, and said with a smile on his face, "I have nothing else to do with you today, let me. I will take the college entrance examination next year, and my grades are not very good. My mother asked me to study abroad, let me go abroad, you know, the cost is quite high, the money Qi Lianhuai gave me last time..."

"It costs $8 to $12 an hour to wash the dishes and clean the table in a restaurant, and you can eat once for free; $10 an hour to tutor children with homework, $5 an hour for a salesperson to pack and deliver goods, and $15 an hour for a part-time worker... There are various types of work, you can choose . " Qi Feiran said expressionlessly.

"I. Fuck. Your uncle! You are popular and hot in foreign countries, why do I have to work?!" Qi Shihai said angrily.

"I did all these when I was working and studying abroad. You are 18 years old, and you can do these jobs." Qi Feiran looked at Qi Shihai with a mocking face.

"I don't believe it! Don't Qi Lianhuai just recognize a son like you? How could he let you do this? The car he gave you, the start-up capital he gave you, do you think I don't read the news? Your damn old lady..."

Before Qi Shihai could finish speaking, Qi Feiran had already grabbed Qi Shihai's collar. He was 187 in height, with broad shoulders and strong arms, and Qi Shihai who was 183 was picked up by him, and his toes were about to leave the ground.

"Hey, what's the matter? Let go." Lin Shixin came over with a fruit plate, "Why did you play well?" He said and lightly bumped Qi Feiran's arm with the fruit plate.Qi Feiran stared at Qi Shihai viciously, and slowly let him down.

"Here's this, unprocessed." Lin Shixin stuck a piece of watermelon with a toothpick and touched it to Qi Feiran's lips.

Qi Shihai tugged at his collar, looked at the two people in front of him, his eyes widened, "Fuck, I'm really convinced, die."

"What?" Lin Shixin looked at Qi Shihai inexplicably.

"Don't pay attention to him, when do you get off work?" Qi Feiran turned around and looked at Lin Shixin with soft eyes.

"My, it's almost time to leave at eight o'clock." Lin Shixin turned his wrist and looked at his watch, "It's already 07:30."

"Well, come here, I'll finish this game and go together." Qi Feiran pushed Qi Shihai aside with his cue like he was sweeping up trash.

"Okay, okay, I've seen you play basketball and football, but I haven't seen you play billiards!" Lin Shixin leaned over the table enthusiastically, looking at the ball Qi Feiran was aiming at, with anticipation on his face.

Qi Feiran caught sight of his shining eyes from the corner of his eye, and his heart skipped a beat. He hit a jump ball with a bang, and the yellow ball was pocketed beautifully, which won Lin Shixin's admiration.

When the lights came on, every house turned on dim lights, and Qi Feiran and Lin Shixin were walking home again in the evening.For some reason, Qi Feiran's activities on weekends always fall into Lin Shixin's part-time job sphere. In the end, it seems that the two of them came to the same goal by different routes and had a date together.

Thinking of this, Qi Feiran couldn't help chuckling.

Lin Shixin turned his head to look at him, "I said, you are really following me, you have met me a lot by chance."

Qi Feiran said: "It's better to say that you have too many part-time jobs, selling dried peaches, picking mushrooms, being a caddy, what other part-time jobs do you have that I don't know about?" He said, looking at Lin Shixin's thin and white His wrists were in a daze, and the cuffs were frayed, although they had been washed clean.

"It's nothing, I'm idle at home anyway, that person..." Lin Shixin stopped suddenly when he said this. strikingly similar.

"It's my younger brother, half-brother." Qi Feiran sighed imperceptibly.

He himself didn't know how to start the conversation. His mother died in a traffic accident, and he was in a panic when he was young. Then a young and aggressive woman broke into the house with a younger child, followed by crying and beating. Voice—why can he live here and my child can't?His mother is dead!

At that time, Qi Feiran didn't know that his mother had passed away. He thought that, as his father said, he had gone to teach far away and would come back in the future.

Lin Shixin listened quietly, occasionally asked a few words, and couldn't help feeling a little bit embarrassed, Qi Feiran seemed invulnerable, and he never thought he had such a sad childhood.

"However, I can tell that your family should be quite rich, right? Even though you always go to school on the small yellow bike of ofo."

Qi Feiran smiled, "How can you tell?"

"I don't know, it's just a feeling. Your neck is always straight, and it looks very straight from the back... I don't know how to say it. Besides, your collar is always clean." Lin Shixin said As if thinking about something, he concluded.

"Oh? Really, it's quite detailed, I can't see what my neck looks like." Qi Feiran laughed.

"Really! You don't know, you smell rich." Lin Shixin pretended to smell it as he said that.

Qi Feiran burst out laughing, stood motionless, watched Lin Shixin's head arched back and forth and smelled himself, "Why do you look like Huanhuan, do I smell like copper?"

Lin Shixin looked up at him, "Young man, you don't know what to do if you are not in charge of the family. You still don't know the benefits of being rich."

Qi Feiran didn't speak, but what he thought in his heart was that he would rather use wealth to exchange for a gentle and amiable mother like Lin Yuee, such a round dining table, and such a bowl of pork ribs stewed with love.

"Cooking beans burns the bean sprouts, and the beans are weeping in the cauldron..." Lin Shixin murmured as he walked forward, "By the way, you have a good fortune! My mother said in the morning to eat stewed ribs at night! Walking, Come home with me for dinner, and take a look at Huanhuan, he's getting fat again!"

"Okay." Qi Feiran followed quickly.
