A bowl of sweet soup

It's fine to accept small and worthless gifts, but how could Tang Xuen have the nerve to take such a precious jade pendant?

But the current atmosphere seems to be unbearable for him to say no, which is a disappointment.

As if he didn't need money, there were several jade pendants on the table, carved into different shapes. Obviously, Ms. Ji prepared not only for him, but also for every junior.

And Ji Wei's group of brothers and sisters all knew Tang Xuen, and they didn't think there was anything wrong with sending Tang Xuen away, so they said on the sidelines:

"Men wear Avalokitesvara and women wear Buddha, just right."

"I just said, aunt, why don't you leave this Guanyin to me, it turns out that you want to give it to brother Xiaotang."

"Brother Tang, are you embarrassed? Haha."

After Ji Wei took the jade pendant, he was about to put it on for him, especially in the presence of a large crowd, and as soon as Ji Wei's fingertips touched his neck, he felt as if he was being shocked, but he had to hold back.

Ji Wei stood behind him and said, "Keep your head down."

In fact, Ji Wei didn't touch him deliberately, on the contrary, Ji Wei tried not to touch his skin as much as possible, his fingertips seemed to only brush over his fine hair.

At this time, Tang Xuen heard a low snickering sound, which was the sound of pointing and snickering when everyone saw a young couple in school days, making Tang Xuen feel uncomfortable all over.

He looked over and saw that it was Ji Wei's two little cousins ​​who were laughing. These two little girls are both high school students with a lively personality. Sometimes they would come to Tang Xuen's shop to eat sweet soup. One bite at a time, "Brother Tang" should not be too sweet .

Tang Xuen knew it well, obviously because of his intimate behavior with Ji Wei.

While looking at them, the two little cousins ​​didn't know what they were talking about. No matter what it was, it was definitely not innocent.

Tang Xuen was so ashamed that he exploded, but the jade pendant was still tied around his neck. If he moved around, he accidentally broke the jade pendant, and he wouldn't be able to pay for it if he sold it.

He tried his best to endure, but his neck and ears were still red.

Especially the nape of Ji Wei's neck, which would be touched, turned red.

Ji Wei thought it was both cute and funny, knowing that he was embarrassed, looked at the two cousins ​​solemnly, and said solemnly: "You two stop laughing, brother Xiaotang is thin-skinned, it's not the first day you know."

Then she comforted Tang Xuen with a good temper: "Xiao Xu, don't pay attention to them, they are just following the fashion, they claimed to be corrupt girls before, and they read too many BL novels, and when they see two men together, they want to be crooked."

For example, dispelling rumors about their friendship allowed Tang Xuen to have a clean reputation.

The little cousin said with a playful smile: "Third brother, don't slander us, we laugh... just because we thought of something funny, hee hee."

The third is Ji Wei's tooth sequence among boys in this generation.

This did not comfort Tang Xuen at all.

He was even a little anxious, thinking subconsciously: Huh?Also, it's not considered crooked, right?We've all kissed and touched her, doesn't that count as having an affair?

Tang Xuen wanted to turn his head to see what Ji Wei's expression was, but when he was about to turn his head, Ji Wei said, "Be careful."

Tang Xuen felt as if the nape of his neck had been pinched, and his neck froze, not daring to move.

It was as if a group of ants had been poured into the pit of his heart, crawling around aimlessly, tickling his heart.

After wearing the jade, Ms. Ji got up to look at it, nodded with a satisfied smile, and said, "Very good, very good, I know this jade is a good match for you."

"Don't take it off, how about just wearing it like this? Doesn't hinder it?"

Tang Xuen thought for a while, and said tactfully, "Isn't it too expensive? Auntie, it's not convenient for me to accept it."

Before Ms. Ji could answer, Ji Wei took a step forward and said, "My mother has always treated you like a half-son. At that time, after the sculpture was finished, it was tied with your name and brought to the master to consecrate it. It was specially made for you. of."

He joked again, "It's nothing, Xiaoxu, she is a rich woman, knocking a piece of jade pendant from her is just drizzle, she won't feel bad."

If he didn't accept it, it would be Tang Xuen's disapproval.

Ms. Ji smoothed things over and said, "That's right, Xiao Xu, this jade pendant means a safe home and a happy marriage. This is Auntie's blessing to you, so you have to accept it."

The house is safe and well.

What's wrong with a happy marriage?Tang Xuen said, "Auntie, I'm not married yet."

Ms. Ji patted his arm lightly, and said with a smile, "I'm going to get married in the future."

Then, Tang Xuen wore the jade pendant and sat among a family of people surnamed Ji.

He is so familiar with Ji Wei that he even knows everything about Ji's family affairs.

Ji Wei took his mother's surname Ji, not because his father was a door-to-door son-in-law, but because Ji Wei changed it after his parents divorced, and Ji Wei asked to change it on his own initiative.

In his first year of junior high school.

Ji Wei's father is a scumbag, gambling, cheating, and domestic violence are all the same, but he had a good skin when he was young, and he coaxed Miss Ji's family who was not deeply involved in the world at that time.Don't look at Ms. Ji who likes to laugh and be free and easy now, there was a period of time when she was trapped in love and stuck in her ways.

Before meeting Tang Xuen, he almost spent his whole childhood in the quarrels between his parents, so that he had a withdrawn and gloomy personality.

Part of the reason why Ji Wei transferred to another school was to avoid his annoying biological father, but he was still approached when Tang Xuen was with him at the time.

Ji Wei's face changed, and he said to him: "You go home first."

Then he followed the man who looked similar to him.

Tang Xuen was worried, and secretly followed. He hid far away, and couldn't hear what they were arguing about.

But looking at Ji Wei is not a disadvantage. He developed early, his body is strong, and he is not shorter than an adult. Compared with that bloated and weak middle-aged man, he has much strength.

After a while, Ji Wei's face became more and more ugly.

Tang Xuen had never seen Ji Wei like this before, it was terrifying, like a beast showing its fangs, threatening his biological father viciously: "If you dare to bully my mother while I'm not around, I'll kill you."

He said he wanted to hit someone, but in fact, he did punch him a few times, hitting his flesh.

Tang Xuen heard this sentence.

Tang Xuen was so frightened that he hurried over and shouted, "Ji Wei!"

Only then did Ji Wei wake up and stop the violence.

Turning around, I saw Tang Xuen's pale face and panicked eyes.

Ji Wei was soothed like a ferocious beast, stopped his murderous aura for him, suddenly became docile, and said in a daze, "...I'm sorry."

The scumbag father who was thrown on the ground covered his mouth and said, "You rebellious son, do you think that saying sorry is enough?"

Ji Wei glanced at him and said coldly, "I didn't tell you."

the next day.

Ji Wei thought, maybe Tang Xuen would be so scared by him that he would not dare to make friends with him again?

As a result, Tang Xuen walked beside him as usual, without asking any questions.

There is no need for Tang Xuen to do anything, just staying quietly by his side is enough.

Seeing Tang Xuen wanting to comfort him but not knowing how to speak, Ji Wei suddenly felt at ease like never before, and his impetuous heart calmed down.

So Ji Wei confessed his secret to him: "Xiaoxu, the part they said that I entered the police station because of beating someone was not fake."

Tang Xuen was dumbfounded: "Huh?"

Ji Wei said: "However, the object is a little different, not my classmate, nor a gangster in the society, but my biological father."

"He wanted to beat my mother again, and now that I'm grown up, I choose to beat him first."

Tang Xuen said: "It is a good thing that you protect your mother."

"It's really scary when you hit someone. I don't think it's good to use violence. Is there a better solution?"

Ji Wei said depressedly: "Well... After I beat him that time, my mother looked at me very scared."

"Although she didn't say anything about me and defended me in front of the police, I felt uncomfortable when I thought of her terrified eyes, as if she was looking at a strange monster. She probably thought that the way I used violence was very different from my father. picture."

Tang Xuen is a tight-lipped friend.

He didn't reveal any of the private things that Ji Wei told him.

After sharing each other's family stories and scars, keeping each other's secrets seemed a necessary part of becoming inseparable friends.

During puberty, Ji Wei felt that he was extremely irritable and emotionally unstable. When his blood was hot, it was really easy to fight with others.

At the most thorny time, he once heard someone suggest to his mother to give up his custody rights and throw him to his father, so that he would not be troubled again and again.

Although his mother refused, Ji Wei was still worried about it.

He even felt self-defeating that he had indeed hurt his mother.

He should take the initiative to leave and not embarrass his mother.

Ji Wei loathes his scumbag father, but growing up in an environment of negative emotions, he almost unknowingly moves closer to the person he hates the most.

In this way, his character became even more irritable.

Only when his new friend Tang Xuen is by his side can he nourish and soothe his heart like a cold spring.

13-year-old Ji Wei invited Tang Xuen to play at home, and introduced Tang Xuen to his mother in advance at the dinner table, saying: "I have made friends with a new classmate in the class. Mom, can I bring him to play at home? He is very nice of."

Mom agreed nonchalantly: "Yes."

Ji Wei added: "Dad came to look for me a few days ago, and I almost hit him again, but Tang Xuen persuaded me. I'm sorry, did I scare you last time? I will never use violence indiscriminately in the future. You promise to use force only for protection, not offense."

Ms. Ji still remembers the expression on the boy Ji Wei's face when he said this.

At that time, she thought, Ji Wei really made a good new friend, and she shouldn't have to worry that Ji Wei would go astray.

Sure enough, when she saw little Tang Xu'en, she felt that she had a good eye for him, and the sight of him was quite mysterious.

If you like it at first sight, you like it, and if you don't like it, you don't like it.

After so many years, she still finds Tang Xuen pleasing to her eyes.

The people at the birthday banquet table pushed and changed glasses again.

Ji Wei was dragged by his uncle and cousin to fight wine and throw wine punches. He originally wanted to invite Tang Xuen to join him, but the situation at the same wedding banquet was reversed, and Ji Wei helped Tang Xuen hold back the wine.

Although Ji Wei had a good capacity for alcohol, he was outnumbered and fell to the ground after being drunk.

It was past nine o'clock in a blink of an eye.

Should go home.

Originally, Tang Xuen didn't think too much, after joining in the fun, he was ready to go home.

He looked back at Ji Wei.

Ji Wei sat lazily on the chair with his legs wide open, loosened the collar of his shirt, closed his eyes and rested his mind, and frowned slightly.He didn't have the upright posture he had when he was awake. He rested one elbow on the edge of the table, supported his forehead, and his arms were hanging in the air. He looked precarious, making people afraid that he might fall at any time.

Hearing Tang Xuen said that he was going to leave, Ji Wei opened his eyes. Both his eyes have a vision of 5.3. Usually they are always bright and full of wisdom, full of gentle smiles. It’s okay to be a little drunk, and they can still maintain forbidden love. Cold and self-sustaining.

But if it is soaked in alcohol, it will not be very serious. Under the slightly pressed eyelashes, the light in the eyes is like the lake water under the reeds, and the faint light is rippling.

Tang Xuen blushed at the first glance.

Ji Wei took a deep breath, pressed his forehead, and said, "It's okay, Xiaoxu, you don't have to take care of me, go home."

Tang Xuen heard it.

This can't work!When he was drunk and Ji Wei took care of him, then, when Ji Wei was drunk, he should also take care of Ji Wei.

That's fair.

Tang Xuen went up to support Ji Wei, and said, "Forget it, it's so late today, it's not convenient to go back, I'll stay and take care of you."

Ji Wei seemed to be very drunk and pressed his whole body on him. Fortunately, Tang Xuen was used to heavy work and could carry him completely.

Ms. Ji asked: "Xiaotang? Do you want me to help?"

Tang Xuen didn't have the nerve to ask an elder or a lady to help her, so she held her breath and said, "No, I'll just take care of him."

Just right.

Ji Wei was so drunk, maybe he could ask something.
