I'm poor

At noon, Yan Qinsheng took the printed documents to the general manager's office.

As soon as you open the door, you can smell the strong aroma of barbecue in the house.

"Here we come," Fang Yi sat on the sofa next to him and glanced at the documents in his hand, then opened the takeaway box and said, "Put the documents on my desk first, you come over to eat."

Yan Qinsheng put down his things and sat down beside him sullenly.

Fang Yi knew that he still wanted to report to the class, so he took a piece of barbecue and handed it to his mouth.Yan Qinsheng pursed his lips tightly, trying to hold on to show that he was very angry, but Fang Yi pinched his chin and forcefully stuffed the barbecue into his mouth.

"Is it delicious?" Fang Yi asked him.

Yan Qinsheng's eyes were full of anger and aggrieved, his cheeks were bulging, he looked more like a hamster.

"It's not delicious." He muttered vaguely.

Fang Yi stared at his oily lips, and warned him half-jokingly and half-seriously: "It's fun to lose your temper, but if you keep on fighting, you don't know what to do. It's cute to lose your temper once in a while, but I'm a liar. Patience is also limited, and you can accept it when you see it."

Yan Qinsheng said: "I just want to enroll in a study class, why don't you give it to me, this is my own business, why can't I make a decision by myself."

Fang Yi put down his chopsticks and looked at him coldly, "You are all mine, of course I will take care of your affairs."

The two stood in a stalemate for a while, and it wasn't until Yan Qinsheng showed a hurt expression that Fang Yi raised his hand and took him into his arms and softly comforted him: "I won't let you go because I'm worried about you, do you have the energy to focus on two things? Going to work, going to night school at night, lack of rest is not good for your health, if you get tired in the morning and make a wrong calculation, will it be a loss for the company?"

Yan Qinsheng said sincerely: "I will adjust my schedule and not delay my work."

Fang Yi was a little annoyed, "Why do you have to go to night school, can I rest assured that I go out alone at night?"

"Then what do you think I can do at home alone!" Yan Qinsheng raised his voice and asked him in a trembling voice, "You don't go home every day now, and I don't dare to bother you, you let me guard the empty room alone you Don't worry? I'm a human, not a dog. I'll be locked at home and wait for you to come back."

Fang Yi was at a loss for words for a while, he was busy dealing with Xie Qi these days and really didn't have time to accompany Yan Qinsheng.

In fact, Fang Yi didn't want Yan Qinsheng to go to the night school. On the one hand, he was really worried about safety. The night school was mixed with good and bad people, gathering all kinds of people from the society. Hook up other people.

Fang Yi's most hopeful state is that Yan Qinsheng's every move is under his nose, only looking at him, only talking to him, and only walking around him.

He also has another concern. He doesn't want Yan Qinsheng to improve himself too much. Once a cowardly adult male has mastered the skills and independent thinking, he will want to pursue more when his wings are hardened. It's hard to control, and he will leave sooner or later. he.

If so, Fang Yi would rather break Yan Qinsheng's wings with his own hands, and let him stay by his side peacefully.

"I've been quite busy recently. After I've been busy for a while, it's probably... just three to five days. I'll go home to accompany you when I'm done." Fang Yi said.

Yan Qinsheng drooped his lips and nodded slightly.

In the past, Xie Qi would stay for a week when he returned to China. Fang Yi did not expect that he would stay for such a long time this time. The summer vacation of Australian universities is very long, from mid-November to February of the following year.

Xie Qi is not as easy to fool and coax as Yan Qinsheng, Fang Yi usually sticks to Xie Qi's side, which means that he has to accompany Xie Qi for these few months.

Seeing that Yan Qinsheng, who was always well-behaved, also showed dissatisfaction, Fang Yi was also very upset. He originally promised Yan Qinsheng to go home to accompany him after three or five days of work, but he did not fulfill it.

During Xie Qi's summer vacation, Fang Yi took the time to go back several times and saw Yan Qinsheng bought a bunch of books to read at home.Because of the sudden return, Yan Qinsheng heard the sound of the door opening and hurriedly hid the books everywhere.

"Don't accept it, I've seen it all." Fang Yi said.

It was rare for Fang Yi to come back. Yan Qinsheng was afraid of making him angry, so he hurriedly explained: "I, I didn't enroll in classes, I bought the books myself, and I didn't enroll in evening classes..."

"I know." Fang Yi dragged him to sit on the sofa, pinching the space between his brows wearily.

"You really want to take the adult college entrance examination so much?" Fang Yi asked him.

Yan Qinsheng nodded, unconsciously slipped into Fang Yi's arms, and smelled the unfamiliar perfume on his suit.

Fang Yi usually wears men's perfume, but not this smell, no matter how slow Yan Qinsheng is to perfume, he will know it after smelling it too much.

Smelling the strange smell from the tip of his nose, Yan Qinsheng was slightly dazed, as if a piece of his heart had been sliced ​​off by a blade.

"If you want to sign up for a class, just sign up. Don't search online, it's unreliable. I'll ask Assistant Lin to find you a good night school." Fang Yi said.

Yan Qinsheng raised his head in surprise, "Didn't you refuse to report to me?"

"I figured it out. If you want to learn, go learn it. There's nothing to do anyway."

Fang Yi was not happy to make this decision, but he really didn't have time to get away recently. He was already busy with work, and after work, he had to accompany Xie Qi besides socializing.The last time Fang Yi returned to Yan Qinsheng's place for two nights, Xie Qi's phone calls never stopped, as if he was urging him to die.

Fang Yi had no choice but to let Yan Qinsheng get busy first and find something for him to do, so that Yan Qinsheng would not lose his temper and make trouble again.

Three days later, Assistant Lin registered for Yan Qinsheng's study class. It was in an office building behind the commercial building, and there were more people at night.

The place is not far from the subway station. Usually, Assistant Lin is responsible for picking up Yan Qinsheng by car. If Assistant Lin has other arrangements, Yan Qinsheng can also take the subway back by himself.

Yan Qinsheng is busy with work during the day and studying at night, and his daily schedule is full.

It's good to be more fulfilling. I went home to take a shower at night and fell asleep. I didn't have the energy to think about where Fang Yi went tonight.

As the Spring Festival approached, the company also started to get busy. The year-end inventory and various accounts had to be sorted out. Yan Qinsheng worked overtime in the office every night, and then bought some bread to rush to tutoring.

Fang Yi is still too busy to see anyone, and sometimes he only comes back once a week.

In the afternoon, when Fang Yi went out to talk about business and came back, Yan Qinsheng seized the time to print out the calculated accounts and statements, and took the documents to Fang Yi's office to ask him to sign.

Fang Yi was still on the phone constantly, while chatting with clients about business, he picked up the report and took a look at it, then picked up the gel pen on the table and signed his name smartly.

Yan Qinsheng put the signed report into the folder, pointed to the door of the office, and said silently with his mouth: "I'm going first."

Fang Yi moved the office chair back, reached out and grabbed Yan Qinsheng's arm and pulled him into his arms to sit there. His left hand uneasily pinched his sensitive waist on purpose, causing the person in his arms to tremble slightly.

At the same time, Fang Yi put his phone between his hands and said solemnly: "Mr. Sun, we have a happy cooperation. Next time I will be the host, and you will come when the time comes."

Yan Qinsheng sat on Fang Yi's lap and raised his eyes to look at him. Fang Yi's black hair was brushed back with hairspray to make a meticulous appearance. When he was working, he was used to wearing a pair of glasses with non-prescription gold wire frames to prevent the blue light of the computer. The faint blue light of the computer made him a little more indifferent and serious, and he looked like a bit of a gentle scum.

Yan Qinsheng has been watching Fang Yi quietly with admiration. He is very charming when he is working, and it is the kind of courage that makes people admire. It is this courage that Yan Qinsheng loves and fears Fang Yi.

Fang Yi hung up the phone and put the phone on the desk, pinched the tip of Yan Qinsheng's nose and joked solemnly: "Why do you keep staring at me, so handsome?"

"Yes, very handsome." Yan Qinsheng nodded seriously.

Fang Yi smiled admirably, and kissed the back of Yan Qinsheng's head for a long time.Yan Qinsheng blushed from being teased by him, he scratched Fang Yi's straight suit collar with his fingers at a loss.

Fang Yi let go of him and said, "The Chinese New Year will be in a few days, have you bought the ticket to go back to your hometown?"

"I'm not going back."

"Are you willing to let your dad spend the holidays at home alone?"

Yan Qinsheng was stunned, and then remembered that Fang Yi had no idea that Yan Xu had passed away.

"Then... I'll go back." Yan Qinsheng didn't want to take the initiative to bring this matter up with him. Painful memories are like a string of wool, once they start, they will be questioned.

Fang Yi took out a card from his wallet and stuffed it into Yan Qinsheng's hand: "After you get home, take some time to go to the mall to buy more clothes for your dad. I don't think he has any valuable clothes. Buy him two more boxes of wine. Don't be reluctant to spend money. , I still have to do something for my parents during the holidays.”

Yan Qinsheng's heart warmed up, "Will you go back with me?"

Fang Yi raised his hand and looked at his watch, "I may be leaving soon, and I have some things to deal with at home."

"Leave in such a hurry, can I go to you during the holiday?"

This year is not easy for Fang Yi. The family has arranged a blind date. It seems that he is the daughter of his father's friend and the daughter of a certain asset company. For this reason, his parents often call him to urge him to go back.

Xie Qi clamored to go to Saipan for vacation again, and even booked the plane ticket and hotel, but left one call after another to ask him when he was going to leave.

Fang Yi said: "I still have to fly abroad, and I may have to stay for five or six days. You can also stay in your hometown for a few more days before coming back. I will ask Ji Yun to grant you a vacation."

"Going abroad again," Yan Qinsheng asked, "Just now you taught me that you don't care about my father, and you don't plan to spend the holidays with your parents."

Fang Yi narrowed his eyes to show his impatience, "You don't need to meddle in my family affairs, just take care of yourself."

Yan Qinsheng was a little embarrassed by his inexplicable anger, and realized that he was really talking too much. Fang Yi couldn't take him home for the New Year. After all, it's hard to explain to his parents when he brings them back. happy.

"You are busy with your work, don't think about me."

Before Fang Yi could push him out, Yan Qinsheng got up and left knowingly.

Yan Qinsheng didn't go back to his hometown during the Spring Festival. He gave his mother 5000 yuan. Perhaps because of the effect of money, his mother took the initiative to contact him for the first time. There were noisy firecrackers and children's laughter in the phone.

The two exchanged a few perfunctory greetings before hanging up the phone, and Yan Qinsheng went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables for dinner as usual.

The company is on holiday, and the cram school is also closed, and the free time becomes longer.

When he is alone at home, he will be very empty. He fried a plate of vegetables and mushrooms and sat at the dining table. He always felt that he had no appetite, but he still ate a big bowl of rice. Fang Yi always felt that he was full of bones. , urged him to eat more to gain weight, and he did as he did, but he still didn't gain much weight.

The holidays are supposed to be lively. When you live alone, the bigger the house, the more loneliness and desolation will be magnified several times. Loneliness is like a cold wind swirling in a spacious room, desolate and deserted.

The phone screen on the table was always on. Fang Yi sent out a big red envelope in the work group. After the red envelopes were snatched up, the female staff kept posting "the boss is so handsome" emojis and asked him to send some more.

Yan Qinsheng picked up his mobile phone to join in the fun, and found that Fang Yi had transferred a sum of money to him, so there was no need to grab the red envelopes with other people.

He didn't collect the money, and the cold figure of the transfer amount was not as comfortable as a greeting call.

At this time, the phone rang suddenly, Yan Qinsheng was pleasantly surprised, and it turned out that Zhou Pingkang sent a video.

After pressing the connect button, Da Zhou's unshaven face appeared on the screen of the phone, holding a baby wrapped in a blanket in his arms.

"Xiaoyan, let me show you my son, isn't he handsome?"

Yan Qinsheng smiled in surprise: "Your speed is really fast, when did you give birth?"

He remembered that Da Zhou got married in April, and he even took the train to go to the Northeast, and gave a generous gift of the money he had saved from frugality.

Zhou Pingkang grinned and said, "My wife was pregnant when she got married, and she was discharged from the hospital last week."

Yan Qinsheng looked softly at the baby's wrinkled face on the phone screen: "I will be a little man in the future."

"That's right, we Northeast men are all men who stand upright." Da Zhou patted his chest proudly, but accidentally woke up the sleeping child in his arms, who wrinkled his little nose and burst into tears.

"Little ancestor is crying again. Originally, I was worried that you would be lonely and wanted to catch up with you. Let's talk back, Qin Sheng." Da Zhou hurriedly hugged the child and turned off the video.

Yan Qinsheng stared blankly at the suddenly darkened screen for a while, then handed over a 500 yuan red envelope to Da Zhou, saying that it was a lucky money for the children, and that he would give more when he went to the Northeast when he was free.

As soon as I put down my phone, loneliness once again filled the silent room.

Facing the big empty house, Yan Qinsheng couldn't help thinking, how did his father survive at home alone for so long before? Was he like many old people who were forgotten by his children, turning the TV volume up loud, Then sat on the couch and fell asleep.

Fireworks and firecrackers are not set off in big cities, so there is a lot less festive atmosphere.Yan Qinsheng sat on the sofa and watched the Spring Festival Gala for a while. The skit seemed very funny. The audience on the TV laughed happily, but he couldn't laugh.

After turning off the TV, Yan Qinsheng put on his coat and went out. Ji Yun said in the group that the shopping mall had a New Year's Eve event, and he planned to go to the crowded downtown area to experience the festive atmosphere.

When passing by the square, Yan Qinsheng saw that the woman selling flashing balloons was still there, with many shiny balloons floating above her head, her nose and cheeks were red from the cold.

It must be a hard time to come out to make money during the Chinese New Year.

Yan Qinsheng walked over and took out 35 yuan to her: "Buy a balloon."

The woman said: "Handsome guy, balloons cost 40 yuan each."

Yan Qinsheng withdrew the banknotes in his hand: "The price has increased, and you only sell it for 35 at Christmas."

The woman rubbed her rough hands that were red from the cold: "The prices of goods are going up during the Chinese New Year, so we have to live too, right?" She took out a balloon string and handed it to Yan Qinsheng, still begging in a tactful tone: "Buy one, handsome boy." , It’s not easy to do business in cold weather.”

Yan Qinsheng silently took out five yuan from his wallet to make up for it, gave the woman 40 yuan, then raised his head and pointed to the brown bear balloon and said, "I want that, Brown Bear's."

He still remembered Xiao Mu's words, and finally distinguished the two cartoon bears.

Even when he was in a crowded place, he was still out of tune with the lively atmosphere around him.Yan Qinsheng held the rope of the balloon and sat on a stone bench beside the square, exhaling a long breath of white air in the cold air.

Looking at the couples passing by, Yan Qinsheng couldn't help thinking, Fang Yi should have gone abroad now, what time is it there, what is the temperature, is he not used to eating habits, did he forget to eat breakfast because he was busy with work.

At this moment, Yan Qinsheng suddenly felt that someone patted his shoulder from behind, he turned his head, and Liang Yushu was standing behind him, still with gentle eyes.

"Mr. Liang," Yan Qinsheng quickly got up and said with a smile, "I never expected to meet you here."

Liang Yushu nodded: "Fate is a very magical thing, I'm starting to like festivals."

"Where is Xiao Mu?" Yan Qinsheng looked around, and showed Liang Yushu the balloon in his hand, "I happen to have a balloon here, give it to her."

"She was picked up by my ex-wife. They should be reunited with their mother and daughter during the holidays."

Yan Qinsheng asked: "Then you spend the festival alone?"

Liang Yushu lowered his eyes and smiled lightly: "You are also celebrating the festival alone."

Yan Qinsheng was at a loss for words for a while, and smiled desolately: "That's right."
