Yuan Zhen

"Hiss, I rely on..."

Cheng Duo was washing vegetables while humming an incoherent tune, when he heard Yuan Xiao cursing in a low voice.

Cheng Duo: "What's wrong?"

"The oil is on my face, take a look for me, is it red?" Yuan Xiao turned her head, still holding a spatula in her hand to stir fry.

"Let me see..." Cheng Duo threw down the vegetable leaves, wiped his hands with a tissue, and pinched Yuan Xiao's chin and turned around, "Where is it? I didn't see it."

"On the chin," Yuan Xiao gritted his teeth, and the words rolled out from between his teeth, "Your uncle, put your hand on it, right?"

"Oh, it's true." Cheng Duo raised his hand, rubbed the pinkish dot twice with his fingertips, "It's not so red, does it hurt?"

"What's still hurting now? I just felt a bit bitten when it collapsed, like being bitten by an ant." Yuan Xiao turned around and continued cooking.

Cheng Duo didn't know if he was looking for something to say or something, and suddenly said out of nowhere: "Have you been bitten by an ant?"

"How strange." Yuan Xiao gave him a white look.

Yuan Xiao's birthday just happened to be on Friday, and they agreed to have a meal with Lao Yuan and the others after get off work in the evening.

Although he didn't want to go back too much, it would be better to have a drink with Jiang Wen and the others, but he didn't want to give Lao Yuan the opportunity to talk about him.

He sat in the driver's seat and looked through the "accusations" Jiang Wen and Li Ze made against him in the group. It was roughly that he used to spend his birthday with them, and at most went home for lunch at noon, but now he didn't even give him dinner. The two of them stayed, and the two yelled in the group that he had changed, that the brotherhood had faded, and so on.

Yuan Xiao thinks they are like living treasures, especially Jiang Wen.I thought I might as well reserve tomorrow's time for the two of them.

As for why not invite the two to have dinner together at home?

The main reason is embarrassment. Originally, Yuanxiao herself was not very comfortable every time she went back, so why bother to bring them together to be unhappy.

Yuan Xiao parked the car, took the car keys and walked into the hall on the first floor of Yuan's house.

Reflexively, he turned his eyes to the sofa first, but saw a person he didn't want to see——Jiang Zhengfeng.

He clearly agreed to go home and have a simple meal, why did he call this person here, and who should he blame?

Jiang Zhengfeng was sitting on the sofa, and was diligently peeling an apple for the old man, but unfortunately he was not a person who knew how to do this at all, so he peeled off more than half of the apple flesh.

Where is peeling here?This is a facelift for Apple.

In fact, Lao Yuan didn't like to talk to him very much, but because of Aunt Hong's face, he was too embarrassed to be too obvious. Lao Yuan was watching the news with a tablet in his hand, and he answered him with a few words.

Jiang Zhengfeng was the first to notice that the Lantern Festival had arrived. He casually threw a half-peeled apple on the tea table, stood up and walked towards the Lantern Festival.

This person likes to pretend to be familiar, and the dislike of others will not affect him in the slightest. He plays the reunion of old friends, "I'm back, happy birthday, Yuanxiao!"

Yuan Xiao simply ignored him, sat on the sofa a little far away, and took out her mobile phone.

The portrait of Jiang Zhengfeng didn't know what embarrassment was, and he sat back on the sofa and continued to peel the apple that had fallen on the tea table and didn't know how to clean it.

"Didn't you agree not to call anyone else?" Yuan Xiao didn't show any sympathy, she didn't even bother to pretend, and asked directly.

Lao Yuan coughed in a disguised way, kicked Yuan Xiao's foot lightly, put down his tablet, took off his glasses and answered him: "Who am I calling? Xiao Jiang came to look for your elder brother, and I will let him have a meal together by the way. You should pay attention to self-cultivation." , What is your attitude when others talk to you?"

These words seemed to be a reproach, but there was no seriousness in the tone, the old man was just putting on a show.

Jiang Zhengfeng came to look for Yuan Tu again?

What shady secret did Yuan Tu hide from him?

But one thing is certain, it will definitely not be a good thing to have something to do with Jiang Zhengfeng.

Just as he was thinking about it, Yuan Tu walked in carrying a cake, and the moment he saw Jiang Zhengfeng, his brows frowned visibly.

Yuan Xiao saw the disgust in Yuan Tu's eyes and thought it was funny.How else could Jiang Zhengfeng be hated by everyone?No one was happy to see him.

Before eating, Yuan Tu took Jiang Zhengfeng to chat alone again, and even Lao Yuan began to feel that something was wrong.Yuan Xiao originally wanted to go and have a look, but Lao Yuan got up first and went upstairs.

Yuan Xiao sat on the sofa alone, and glanced upstairs from time to time. The last time I heard the two of them talking, it was obvious that Jiang Zhengfeng threatened Yuan Tu with something to give him money. Let him step on Yuan Tu's head again and again?

Just as I was thinking, there was a sudden "bang" upstairs.Lao Yuan, who was standing at the door of Yuan Tu's bedroom just now, has disappeared. He probably heard something and pushed the door open to go in.

The noise alarmed Aunt Hong in the kitchen. She came out with her sleeves rolled up, a little panicked, and smiled softly when she saw Yuan Xiao, "Xiaoxiao, are you back? Where are your father and the others? Why are you alone? "

"Aunt Hong, you can't ask me about this. You have to ask Jiang Zhengfeng to find out what top-secret information he has. One or two are all around him." Yuan Xiao's attitude towards Jiang Zhengfeng never avoided Hong. Auntie, if you don't like it, you just can't get used to it. No matter how nice Aunt Hong treats him, he won't feel wronged that he and Jiang Zhengfeng are superficial brothers.

Aunt Hong was a little embarrassed. She turned around and went to the study on the first floor. When she came out, she was holding a big red paper bag, "Xiaoxiao, Aunt Hong doesn't know what you like now. I think you want I often have to sit for a long time at work, so I wove a pillow and cushion for you. I have carefully selected the fabric and cotton, and it should be more comfortable to use."

Yuan Xiao stood up and took the bag from Aunt Hong with both hands, "Thank you Aunt Hong, sorry for the trouble."

"Don't be polite to Aunt Hong, I won't do anything else, I'll eat more dishes later, I cook them according to your taste."

But this dinner was not finished well after all.

"Get out, get out now!" An angry voice came from upstairs, Yuan Xiao had never seen Lao Yuan get so angry.

Jiang Zhengfeng resentfully came down from upstairs, took a few steps down the stairs to the lobby on the first floor, took a look at Yuan Xiao, did not say hello to Aunt Hong, pushed the door and left.

"What's the matter? This is... what's going on?" Aunt Hong came out of the kitchen again when she heard the voice, her face full of anxiety.

Old Yuan also walked down the stairs while riding on the railing of the stairs. His face was still covered with redness, and there were still a few veins on his neck. He seemed very angry.

Aunt Hong helped Lao Yuan to sit on the sofa, and Yuan Xiao watched them play one after another, feeling amused.

"I'm talking about Lao Yuan, which show are you acting in? It's just my birthday, so there's no need to mess with it. Isn't this - so lively?" Yuan Xiao pulled out a long voice and let out a sarcasm smile.

Lao Yuan raised his head and glanced at him, with an indescribable expression, "Yuan Xiao, you go back first, I have something to tell Yuan Tu."

ill!

What the hell are you playing with fools?

Yuan Xiao clenched her fists, gritted her teeth and stood up, grabbed the car keys, walked two steps and then paused, turning her head and said bitterly, "Don't call me back in the future, since you have so many important things to discuss , don’t let me come back to delay you!”

Aunt Hong stood up and wanted to hold Yuan Xiao, but she had to take care of Lao Yuan, so she froze in place for a moment, not knowing what to do.

Yuan Tu came down from the stairs at this time, his face was also flushed with red, which was different from the old Yuan Tu's face flushed with anger, Yuan Tu's face looked more like a red mark after being slapped, and Only on the right face.

He watched Yuan Xiao open his mouth, and finally stood there with his head down without saying anything.

Yuan Xiao is not at all curious about what happened between them, but is only angry at being called around.

Holding back his anger, he went to the garage and opened the door to sit on it, without starting the car immediately.The craving for cigarettes came out after a long time, but he searched all over the car, but couldn't find a cigarette butt. He was so angry that he raised his hand and wanted to smash the steering wheel, but he couldn't do it because he was reluctant, but the anger was still there.

The phone vibrated.

Yuan Xiao turned over her phone to see that it was Cheng Duo, and asked him when he would go back.

Yuan Xiao typed two words with one hand.

Lantern Festival: now

Cheng Duo: Finished eating so soon?

Yuan Xiao was impatient to type, so she directly dialed the phone.

"Have you eaten?" Yuan Xiao asked.

"No," Cheng Duo replied immediately, and then asked tentatively, "Then shall we go together?"

"Okay, wait, I'll bring it back." He was not in the mood to cook, and now he just wanted to drink two cans of cold beer to cool off his anger.

"Okay, I'll wait for you at home." Cheng Duo replied simply.

Qin Jing raised her eyebrows high, looked at Cheng Duo, then at the table full of sumptuous delicacies, and said sarcastically, "Didn't eat? Then what are we doing?"

Cheng Duo patted him on the shoulder, "Don't be jealous, I'll pay the bill."

"Thank you, but if I remember correctly, this is my restaurant." Qin Jing raised the corners of his mouth, showing a false smile.

With a smile on his face, Cheng Duo got up to leave, even forgetting the car keys on the table.

Qin Jing called him: "Cheng Duo, the key!"

Qin Jing: "Tsk! I asked you to have dinner and you pushed back and forth. Before he called, you rushed forward. Your double-standard attitude hurt me very much."

"Pretend less, I won't listen to you and try, don't dampen my enthusiasm." Cheng Duo turned back to get the car keys.

"I didn't want to discourage you, but you haven't even figured out if he is right, so let's keep it a little tighter?" Qin Jing tentatively suggested.

"I can't take it. I've been saving for more than 20 years, and I'm getting stronger. Let me also suffer from love." Cheng Duo's smile spread from the corner of his mouth to his eyes, and his words were half serious and joking.

If he likes it, he really likes Yuanxiao, but to what extent, I don't know.

After all, it wasn't long before he figured out even this liking.

His mood at the moment is no different from that of a ten-year-old kid, he just wants to turn those love fantasies in his youth into reality scene by scene.

Wading to the water together, riding a bicycle, inserting two straws into the same glass of Coke, walking hand in hand under the sunset...
