Can't fly

"...What do you know!"

The woman just heard the gossip, and couldn't help rushing up to reason: "Don't fart in front of the store, my son will be your turn to point out? He will definitely become a big star in the future, don't be jealous!"

"Oh, I'm still not happy to say..."

"Your Fang Fei hasn't even acted in a TV series yet, right?"

"That's right, Xiaoqin, we're also doing it for Xiaofang's sake! You don't know, the entertainment industry is so chaotic now, not to mention girls are hard to get along with, but boys are also hard to get along with, what if he—"

"Fuck you!" Li Xiaoqin made a gesture to hit someone, "My son has been spreading rumors!?"

After a few "oh" and "terrible", the women were really angry when they saw her, and they immediately didn't dare to provoke the famous shrews from all over the world. They picked up the apples and chestnuts they had just bought, and ran away, leaving Li Xiaoqin standing there by himself .

She was so angry that her chest heaved violently, and she glared at the pharmacist in the pharmacy next door who poked her head out to watch the excitement: "Look at that!"

"Ah, don't look at it!" The pharmacist got used to it, and retracted into the shop with a playful smile.

After scolding enough, Li Xiaoqin stroked his hair, put his hips on his hips, and directed the young girls in the store: "You too, don't know how to work? Hurry up and cut the water chestnuts over there. Grandma Zhang said she would come to get them in the morning. And—" —”

"Boss lady, boss lady!" The girl pointed behind her.

"What do you mean?!" Li Xiaoqin frowned and turned his head away, "Who the hell..."

Dare to play wild.

But when she saw the young man across the road, she stopped talking immediately.

Knowing that Li Xiaoqin is saving face, and in front of the strangers around him, Fang Fei decided to pretend not to see her quarreling with others.He strode across the road, greeted the girl in the store and called "Yuanyuan" before looking at Li Xiaoqin.

"Why did you run back?" Li Xiaoqin was as frightened as he was when he suddenly saw an alien, "No, no, you said yesterday that you were going to film a movie..."

"Mom!" Fang Fei pulled off the scarf, "Surprise!"

"Little bastard!" Li Xiaoqin almost screamed in surprise, and patted Fang Fei on the back several times, "What did you do, you almost scared your mother out of a heart attack!"

Fang Fei finished the surprise attack and said solemnly, "We are filming in Yeyang."

As he spoke, he grabbed Yang Yuanyi who had been watching for a long time and pulled him across to Li Xiaoqin: "Look, this is the director of this play, Director Yang, he is very good."

I was thinking about how to introduce it all the way, but when it really came to Li Xiaoqin, it was so natural.

Li Xiaoqin met the legendary "director" for the first time. Even though he lacked the basic knowledge of this profession, he could vaguely feel that the tall man was Fang Fei's current boss, and he quickly greeted him warmly: "Hey! Yes! Hello, Director Yang! I am Ah Fei's mother, our child is sorry for your inconvenience..."

"It should." Yang Yuan answered decently, "A Fei is very sensible and well-behaved. Everyone in the crew likes him."

The official was overwhelmed, but Fang Fei could hear a hint of ambiguity. He lowered his head and straightened his scarf, hurriedly covering up his swollen lips—he had been kissed too many times in the car at the airport, in the room, on the street corner.

And the phrase "very well behaved" sounds like a code no matter how it sounds.

Fortunately, Li Xiaoqin was simple-minded and didn't understand the twists and turns. He just felt that the young director was easy to get along with without airs, so he invited him into the store immediately.

"Director Yang is here for the first time, isn't it? It's a small place, but it's also very fun." Li Xiaoqin enthusiastically stuffed Yang Yuanyi with some tangerines, "I'll ask Ah Fei to take you to see the stone carvings by the river. We are the most famous here. Many people came here to take pictures of the scenic spots! There are also a lot of food..."

There are few people in the fruit shop at this time, and the scene of Li Xiaoqin blocking the door doing homework coincides with Yang Yuanyi's words "Take me to your house", like meeting parents.

The phrase "together" seemed to coax her casually, but at this moment, Fang Fei felt a little real.

Yang Yuanyi stood outside the door of the fruit shop, hugging oranges, laughed and listened to his mother talking about where the noodles were the best.

He seems to have really become Fang Fei's boyfriend, accompanying him home to visit relatives.

When Li Xiaoqin said that he wanted to invite Yang Yuanyi to have supper, Fang Fei finally stopped her: "Mom, we... There are other people in our crew. We will have dinner later, so we won't eat with you. Director Yang came from Jincheng today. The one who drove here is also very tired, so don't make trouble with him."

"Do you still have plans so late?" Li Xiaoqin was taken aback, "What about after that?"

"I'll be busy in the future." Fang Fei said that the schedule is very full, "Besides, filming is work, so I can't come back to see you every day. I'm just free this month, and I'll go to other places after this period..."

Li Xiaoqin: "Okay! Mom also said that she has never seen your colleague, leader, if you don't want to, then another day! Ah yes, Ah Fei, dinner is okay, you remember to treat, please invite Director Yang to eat some special dishes !"

Fang Fei said "definitely", and had something to say, but was grabbed by Li Xiaoqin again: "Come here! I'll get you something..."

Entering the store, Fang Fei sighed resignedly when he came out within a few minutes with two grapefruits.

"Didn't escape?" Yang Yuanyi asked knowingly with a smile.

"Ah."

"Your mother is very enthusiastic."

Hearing this, Fang Fei hugged the pomelo and raised his eyelids, whispering, "She almost gave you a red envelope."

"This is unacceptable." Yang Yuanyi smiled even deeper, "I haven't officially married my son."

"Just keep teasing me." Fang Fei said helplessly.

Just talking casually, Yang Yuanyi helped him lift the net bag containing the grapefruit, and weighed it: "Hey, this is not bad."

"The glutinous rice pomelo just arrived, it's sweet——"

Before the words were finished, someone came running over with a big stride from behind, with a panting voice: "Brother Xiao Fang!"

The young girl who was helping in the shop blushed and called him to a halt embarrassingly.Fang Fei asked her what's the matter, she glanced back first, took out her phone, and said pleadingly, "Can you take a picture with me?"

"What..." Fang Fei couldn't help laughing, "We know each other so well!"

Li Xiyuan is the younger sister of Fang Fei's cousin's family. Although the blood relationship is far away, the two families have a close relationship. She has been helping Xiaoqin's fruit shop every holiday since she graduated from high school.Currently in the unemployed period of graduation, there is a shortage of people in the store, so Li Xiyuan stayed.Li Xiaoqin likes her very much, and Fang Fei regards her as his own sister.

At this moment, Li Xiyuan made a few jokes, but Li Xiyuan was in a hurry: "It's different! I just... I want to post that... Douyin..."

Fang Fei: "..."

I have met some fans in real life, but this is the first time I have seen such fanatical ones at home.

Fang Fei turned to Yang Yuanyi, seeing that he didn't express his impatience, he thought carefully, "Teacher Yang."

"Want me to help you take pictures?"

Fang Fei pursed her lips and winked at Li Xiyuan from an angle that Li Xiyuan couldn't see.

The corner of Yang Yuanyi's mouth curled up helplessly, holding the pomelo in his left hand, he took Li Xiyuan's cell phone and took several pictures of them.

"You can't say that we are making movies here." Fang Fei warned, "It's better not to say that I am your brother."

He knows that some people in the circle think he is not pleasing to the eye - Lie Xing's high-level executives are one, and there are more inexplicable malicious people like Yi Yi - Li Xiyuan wants to post on social platforms, avoid acquaintances and only talk about encounters, which can also be avoided for her Unnecessary interruption.But if she wants to make a fuss, that's another matter.

Li Xiyuan nodded, and said, "Brother Fang, come another day, and you're going to buy local strawberries, they're very sweet."

The brief meeting with his family completely relaxed Fang Fei's nerves, "going home" changed from a floating shadow in his mind to the ground under his feet, and the moist air finally became familiar.

After going to the fruit shop, Yang Yuanyi felt that Fang Fei's mood became particularly good, even walking secretly humming.

The two returned the same way, passing by a Ye Chao Shou on the way.Fang Fei seemed to be really happy, and asked Yang Yuanyi if he wanted to try it, and said with a little pride: "This restaurant has been open for 20 years, and I have eaten since I was in elementary school."

How could Yang Yuanyi spoil his interest.

The store has only one facade, five or six small tables with wooden benches, and the pots and stoves are placed at the door. When the water boils, a cloud of white mist breaks through the night and lingers all the way to the top of the banyan tree.

When they entered, only the innermost table was left empty, Fang Fei and Yang Yuanyi had to sit next to each other.Yang Yuanyi didn't need to move, he knew the other party's taboos, so he ordered two servings of red oil, got up and took a small plate of soaked radishes, and made a cup of freshly ground soybean milk for Yang Yuanyi, and served it to the other party steaming.

Sitting side by side, with their thighs touching each other, Yang Yuanyi used chopsticks to poke lightly powdered pickled radishes, and his right knee sneaked around Fang Fei's calf, rubbing against the heel of his leg.

"Teacher Yang..." Fang Fei turned his head and looked at him with moist eyes.

Blaming him for not saying what he said, the boss put two bowls of Chaoshou on the table loudly, and Fang Fei fell silent for a moment.

Red oil and white sesame seeds made the thin-skinned and stuffed Chao Shou very attractive. Yang Yuanyi slowly picked up one and blew on it. He didn't look at Fang Fei, knowing that his ears were still red from the prank just now.

The entrance is hot at first, and then a numbing smell of prickly ash dances on the tip of the tongue. After a while, the spicy taste is felt, and it only stays for a short while before being replaced by the salty smell of meat filling.The soup is made of chicken soup, and it is slightly sweet in the mouth, so fresh that you can swallow your tongue.The pak choy has been soaked in taste and becomes extremely soft, which is a good thing to relieve greasy.

Yang Yuanyi gnawed one, didn't say a word, buried his head in eating a few more, and then commented: "I like it."

He ignored Fang Fei's embarrassment for a long time, and the feeling of touching his thighs and knees disappeared completely. Fang Fei's side face was still hot, and he lost his previous embarrassment. He touched the grapefruit peel and said "hmm".

"You really took me there, I'm quite happy." Yang Yuanyi said.

Fang Fei didn't think much about it: "It was originally to show the friendship of the landlord."

Yang Yuanyi's eyes fell on the bowl of red soup, and he picked up the cabbage with his chopsticks, as if he had been brewing for a long time, before he asked tentatively, "Are you not convinced?"

"Ok?"

"When I mention my boyfriend, you always hide."

Caught off guard and mentioning this matter, Fang Fei didn't know how to speak the truth, but he had nothing else to say.

"If you don't like me, it's like a joke."

"like."

"That's not what I'm talking about." Fang Fei smiled, a little sarcasm, and a little sad for himself, "Ms. Yang said 'like', just like I said 'hello', it can be for anyone. Favor means liking, I also like it on impulse, and I always talk about it, so I don't know if it's true or not. Boyfriend, for you, you can only have sex..."

He wanted to say "a friend who can go to bed", but how could he be Yang Yuanyi's friend?

Yang Yuanyi's friends are Xu Mu, Cheng Shu, and Shen Jue.

He had no choice but to laugh at himself after a long pause: "...someone who can go to bed."

Yang Yuanyi was also silent, Fang Fei seldom said anything out of his heart, he felt that he doted on Fang Fei enough, but he didn't know that the other party was different from anyone he had ever doted on, and he was grateful for the word "like".He couldn't comfort Fang Fei, but now Yang Yuanyi realized that Fang Fei was serious and cared about the angry words a few years ago.

"I know you're worried." Yang Yuanyi put down his chopsticks, and didn't rush to hug him, "Before... I encountered something and didn't take care of you. But I only found out later that you had such a difficult time."

Fang Fei murmured "Oh", vaguely.

"We will still be together in the future, and I will help you in case of trouble."

The promise didn't make Fang Fei feel safe either, he just said, "It's okay, Mr. Yang."

As if to imply, "you're not mine either".

Hearing this, Yang Yuanyi took a deep breath—the long-abstained cigarette addiction suddenly fell into place, so he had to rub his fingers together to relieve anxiety, but even breathing is wet in winter, which makes people feel more at a loss.

He asked after a while, "Do you think I'm joking?"

"I don't know." Fang Fei asked back, "Isn't it good for us to do this?"

Then he saw the astonishment in Yang Yuanyi's eyes, and the gray-blue pupils shrank slightly.

Yang Yuanyi raised his hand and rubbed his lips: "So, you don't like me? Our relationship is actually troublesome for you, right?"

The two bowls of soup on the table were completely cold, Fang Fei did not face this problem directly.He stared at the nail marks he had dug out on the surface of Yuzu, and suddenly remembered that Yang Yuanyi had similar white marks on his back.

"...Mr. Yang, I don't know." That's all he said at the end.

His tone of deceiving Yang Yuanyi was clumsy, and the beast in the back of his mind roared, disturbing his mind.It was tightly locked in a cage cast by Fang Fei with reason. Once released, the consequences would be disastrous.

Many people can't afford to let go of their feelings, so after years of entanglement, they still feel uneasy.

Fang Fei is different.

It is easy for him to let go, but it is difficult to love someone.

Love is a beast, powerful, beautiful, dangerous.

He wanted to, but he didn't dare to love Yang Yuanyi.
