imaginary rival

Jiang Shiyu hasn't been back to this city for a long time.

When he got off the plane, the dry air that hit his face made him feel uncomfortable. His face seemed to be peeling, and a dry face could be peeled off with a tear.

Jiang Shiyu went to get his luggage, and after walking out of the airport, he slowly turned on his phone, and the signal returned after a while.

Yan An's news popped in immediately.

Jiang Shiyu was actually a little confused.

He didn't know what Yan An was hesitating or thinking about a while ago, and he didn't know what Yan An was thinking about today.

Why did he become so entangled all of a sudden, and today he suddenly broke that strange barrier with a phone call, and sent him a message as if nothing had happened.

He suddenly remembered what Xie Lanlan said earlier, that Yan An was on her menstrual period for more than 30 days a month.

I thought it was a joke.

Jiang Shiyu opened Yan An's dialog box.

Thinking about it now, this sentence may be true.

What Yan An sent him was a video of Little Hail, but the video was still blurry, so Jiang Shiyu watched it for three or four seconds before he could see where Little Hail was.

In the background sound came the voices of Yan An and Xie Lanlan chatting.

The two of them are together at this moment.

No wonder Yan An's mood suddenly improved.

Everything seems to have a clue. Yan An became strange after Xie Lanlan fell in love, and became better after Xie Lanlan went to his house to find him. If everything is because of Xie Lanlan, would it make sense? Son?

... How much I like her, Xiao An.

Jiang Shiyu clicked his tongue, stood still and watched the video before exiting, replied with an emoji, and clicked on the software to call for a car.

After getting in the car, Jiang Shiyu looked at the gradually familiar scenery outside the window but couldn't feel the feeling of going home.

Humans are really amazing creatures sometimes.

He has only left here for more than half a year, and he has a subtle sense of incompatibility with this place, as if he has adapted to the south, but in fact he has not.

He was a little out of sorts on both sides.

After getting out of the car, Jiang Shiyu went into the hotel with his luggage, planning to visit his grandma in the afternoon. He wanted to rest for a while.

When he came back this time, he only told his grandpa. He didn't know if grandpa would tell others, and if he would meet a lot of relatives in the afternoon, he had to recharge his energy and get ready to face relatives.

Grandma's health is fine, and she will be discharged from the hospital in two days, but it is a foregone conclusion that Jiang Shiyu will stay here for a few more days, maybe he will have to spend the entire summer vacation here.

Yeah.

Jiang Shiyu thought.

He really had to distance himself from Yan An and think carefully.

Yan An just pretended to be a good boy for a few days and couldn't hold back anymore. Usually, they sent messages one after another, telling him to go to the gymnasium to play. Every day they called him so restless, and finally, under Xie Lanlan's tinkering, he finally came out. Door.

"You just went to play with Sun Ke," Yan An whispered as they walked to the gym with her, "Use me as an excuse."

"Don't you want to play?" Xie Lanlan looked at him, "Stop pretending, I don't believe you can do homework for a summer vacation at home."

"Hey." Yan An replied, a little bit like sighing.

"Isn't it all like this? Put all the books before the holidays, and finish all the homework in the first week of summer vacation." Xie Lanlan bought two cones on the side of the road and continued, "Then the summer vacation is over. , the homework did not move a single word."

"That's me before." Yan An corrected her, "The me now has already written a paper."

"Wow!" Xie Lanlan said, "After only a few days of retreat, you can finish a paper. You will definitely be the number one in the college entrance examination!"

Yan An was a little speechless. Xie Lanlan has become more and more eccentric recently. Although it is very funny, there is always a feeling that she has returned from her rebellious period.

This feeling disappeared completely when he met Sun Ke.

Yan An reasonably suspected that she was holding back in front of Sun Ke.

But upon closer inspection, Xie Lanlan didn't deliberately pretend to be anything, she was still so cheerful, showing a sense of foolishness.

"Hey!" Chang Ze threw the ball over, "Jiang Shiyu didn't come?"

"He's back home." Yan An caught the ball, took two pats and made a forward shot. The ball hit the basket and missed.

"Where is his hometown?" Chang Ze asked casually.

"Over there in the north." Yan An mentioned a city, Chang Ze said, obviously just asking casually.

After the game, the stinky couple was going to eat. Yan An was too lazy to be with them, so he casually rushed outside the gymnasium, wiped himself off with a towel, and then went home. Chang Ze and Qu Ran were going to listen to cross talk, ask Whether he wants to be together, Yan An can't quite understand the fun of cross talk, so he shakes his head and can't say.

He returned home alone, and when he entered the community, he ran into Xie Lanlan's mother, Xie's mother was about to send Xie Zhu to piano lessons, she was taken aback when she saw him, and asked with a smile: "Is Lanlan not with you? "

"She went to play with Qi Xunjing," Yan An scratched his head, "The two little girls went shopping, I didn't feel like following them, so I came back."

He didn't dare to look into Xie's mother's eyes, so he simply knelt down and greeted Xie Zhu: "Hi."

"Xiao'an, good afternoon." Xie Zhu called out with a smile.

"...Hey," Yan An said with a smile, "I will never wait for you to call me brother in my life."

Xie Zhu smiled and chatted with him for a while before being taken away by Xie's mother. Yan An took out the phone and sent a message to Xie Lanlan: When I came back, I said that you and Qi Xunjing went shopping, and I slipped away halfway.

Xie Lanlan replied after a while: completely ojbk.jpg

Yan An was happy for a while, then threw the phone aside and went to take a shower.

Mom doesn't seem to be coming back in the afternoon. Dad has a company dinner, so he has to eat alone this afternoon.

Xia Tian had no appetite, so Yan An planned to go out to eat cold noodles and order a bowl of ice powder for dinner, but he didn't go far, so he ate two bowls casually at the small stall at the gate of the community.

After the cold noodles were served, he took a bite and realized something was wrong. He stirred it a few times, then turned around and shouted, "Auntie, why didn't you put chili on?"

"You said you don't want spicy food," the aunt looked at him strangely, "I thought you were afraid of getting acne from eating spicy food."

Yan An was stunned for a while, then smiled: "I'm sorry, let me add some spicy food, I'm not used to it without pepper."

"Let me just say it," the aunt also laughed, "How can you eat the cold noodles without adding spicy food?"

This question should be asked Jiang Shiyu.

Jiang Shiyu's taste is really light. When eating mutton powder, he only put a little red oil. It looks delicious. Once Yan An took two mouthfuls from his bowl and felt that it was tasteless. Jiang Shiyu was very happy. .

This time back to the north, I can finally eat something that suits my heart.

Yan An took out his phone and looked at it.

Jiang Shiyu has been away for two days, and they didn't contact each other during the holiday just now... He and Jiang Shiyu haven't seen each other for almost a week.

This is the first time they haven't seen each other for such a long time since they got to know each other well, and they haven't had much contact.

It's because of the feeling of strangeness that shouldn't have come out from the bottom of my heart.

Yan An felt that there was nothing strange about him now, not to mention hooking his shoulders, he would be fine lying on the bed with Jiang Shiyu in his arms right now.

...No, there's still going to be something.

A hug is fine, just lie on the bed.

After all, no good brother would hug her to bed.

probably.

Yan An packed a portion of ice powder and brought it home, but he didn't want to eat it when he got home, so he had to freeze it first, and went to shovel cat litter for Xiao Binghai.

I don’t know if Little Hail has entered the moulting period. Its fur is everywhere in the house. After shoveling the cat litter, Yan An took a comb to comb it, and combed out a large ball of hair. I feel that I can use it to knit a sweater. Yan An held Xiao Hail's hair for a while, took a picture and sent it to Jiang Shiyu.

After more than ten minutes of sending the photo, there was no response. Yan An checked the phone several times, and finally threw away the comb and the small hailstone.

The food blogger that he recommended to Xie Lanlan before added a video, which was a video of making tiramisu. Yan An took a look, and it happened to be the video released on the second day of their summer vacation. Hundred likes.

It was very cold.

Yan An gave him a like, clicked on it, and a burst of brisk and melodious music came out first.

Tiramisu is a relatively simple dessert that is not easy to overturn. Yan An was bored watching the video to play the time, and saw the blogger in the video show his hands, and carefully put the aseptic eggs and mascarpone cheese. Beat them all together, and finally pick up the coffee liqueur and pour it a little...

Yan An's attention was completely attracted by those hands.

The blogger's hands are very good-looking, the fingers are not too slender, every joint is well-proportioned, not so thin that the joints protrude, and they are not so fat that they wrinkle into several dimples... Anyway, they are very good-looking hands, the skin looks Very delicate, very white.

Much like Jiang Shiyu's hand.

Yan An was taken aback by his thoughts, quickly turned off the video, picked up a comb to catch the little hailstone.But cats have their own minds. A good cat doesn't comb twice a day. When it sees Yan An picking up the comb, it hides away. No matter how Yan An grabs it, it won't be able to catch it.

"Ah—" Yan An fell back on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

That strange feeling swept over him again.

"Are you used to living in the south?" Auntie patted Jiang Shiyu's shoulder and asked, "Otherwise, move back. You have lived here for so long, why did you suddenly move so far away?"

Jiang Shiyu didn't speak, but his uncle seemed to give his aunt a look, telling her to stop talking about this topic, and the aunt clicked his tongue lightly.

"Where do you live now?" Auntie changed the subject, "Hotel?"

"En." Jiang Shiyu nodded.

"What are you doing with that money," the aunt said, "Even if you don't want to see your dad, you stay at my house, and it's not that I don't welcome you. What's the matter with you kid? You still run to the hotel when you get home. Why don't you get older? I'm not sensible either."

"Well," Jiang Shiyu continued to nod, "I'm sorry."

"You..." My aunt continued to talk, but my uncle finally couldn't listen anymore, and pushed her, "Go and see Mom first, isn't she arguing to be discharged from the hospital, go and persuade her, stay for two more days, wait Get checked and leave the hospital."

The aunt muttered something, but Jiang Shiyu didn't pay attention to it. Anyway, the aunt left in the end, and he and his uncle continued to sit in the small garden behind the hospital, enjoying the wind and feeling the gradually rising temperature in summer.

"Don't blame your aunt, she has always been like that, outspoken." Uncle patted Jiang Shiyu on the shoulder and said, "I understand your feelings. What happened... It's normal not to want to go home."

Jiang Shiyu raised his head and glanced at his uncle.

"But you have to understand us," uncle continued, "after all, we are your family, and you won't tell anyone when you come back. If you happen to meet today, don't you even want to see us?"

"...No." Jiang Shiyu said, "I just..."

just what?

I just don't know what to say when I see you, how to describe this feeling?

As soon as Jiang Shiyu saw them, he would think of when Jiang Xing and his mother divorced. They persuaded his mother that cheating is not a big deal. He will still love you and this family after all. You can't let this family go, right?This is the home you have worked so hard to manage after being married for so many years.

They tried to tie Mommy with the word "home".

Now they're trying to tie themselves down with the word "family" again?

No, you can't think that way.

They are family, blood is thicker than water.

Jiang Shiyu said nothing.

Uncle sighed, held Jiang Shiyu's shoulder and squeezed.
