When Wei Qingyun returned at noon, Lin Zhanyu was waiting for them at the door of Wuji restaurant.He hugged Wei Xueyi, and saw the young man standing quietly from a distance.

As the saying goes, one side's water and soil support the other's people. Wei Qingyun didn't pay attention to it before, but now he finds out that it is true.

He himself grew up in the north and has lived in the south for so many years. He has the gentleness of the water town and the heroism of the mountains and rivers in him, and he has always carried a sense of pride and righteousness in his bones.

But Lin Zhanyu was different, he had a refined appearance, his body was not broad but not lacking in strength, standing there always made people think of the Jiangnan literati with wide sleeves and deep clothes in ancient times, indifferent and generous, but proud.

Of course, this is under the condition that Lin Zhanyu is not willful or loses his temper.Wei Qingjun narrowed his eyes, thinking: Was Lin Xiucai like this back then?

"Brother." Seeing him coming back, Lin Zhanyu walked towards him.

Wei Qingyun handed him the new clothes made for the child and asked him to help hold them: "The child grows too fast, I think he hasn't worn these clothes for a few days."

"Yes." Lin Zhanyu smiled and pinched Wei Xueyi's nose: "Child, is it you?"

The baby didn't understand what he said, but just giggled at him.

The three of them entered the front hall together. Shopkeeper Wu had just finished his work and was sitting and drinking tea.Wei Qingyun nodded to him, and then wanted to go to the backyard, but was stopped.

"Qingyun," Shopkeeper Wu waved at him, "Come here, I'll tell you something nice."

Lin Zhanyu stood not far away, looking at the kindly smiling eyes of the middle-aged man, instinctively felt that something was wrong.So he also leaned over, and finally heard shopkeeper Wu say to his senior brother: "Do you have any plans to marry another one?"

Hearing this, Lin Zhanyu broke out in a cold sweat instantly.He immediately turned his head to look at Wei Qingyun, only to see that this person was also stunned.

The past suddenly came to my mind, and it was like a movie playing back in my mind.

Lin Zhanyu thought of the temples on the outskirts of Nanjing, the big Buddha statues in the temples, the dazzlingly red wedding dresses, and also the girl who used to smile cutely, and the farewell on the pier by the Yangtze River where she thought it was a temporary farewell, but it was a farewell .

But he is no longer the bewildered young boy.

When Wei Qingyun was about to get married a few years ago, he didn't even dare to express his heart to this person. He would just run to a place where the other person could not see and cry, and even begged the Buddha for a marriage in the next life with the life span of this life.

Today, he has truly experienced birth, old age, sickness and death, stability and exile. After turning around a few times before the gate of hell, he feels that death is like a lamp going out.

"Of course not." Before Wei Qingyun could speak, Lin Zhanyu denied it for him: "My nephew is still young, and my brother has to take care of him, so I can't be distracted."

As soon as these words came out, Lin Zhanyu's thoughts that had been sealed for a long time, either actively or passively, suddenly broke free from the shackles and shackles, washing his mind and mind.He suddenly discovered that he had never been so selfless.

When he thought of Lu Jiang and Xueyi back then, he could wrong himself, and even made plans to wrong him for the rest of his life.But how could he allow another person to come between him and Wei Qingyun now?

"Your senior brother hasn't expressed his opinion yet. You said it will work?" Shopkeeper Wu joked: "Qingyun, do you want to meet first?"

"No, he's right." Wei Qingyun patted Lin Zhanyu's shoulder with a smile.

"You're still so young, it's impossible not to look for it for the rest of your life." Shopkeeper Wu didn't give up, and was still probing: "Then the good girl has taken a fancy to you, and she doesn't think it's troublesome to take care of the child..."

"Shopkeeper Wu, thank you for your kindness." Wei Qingyun interrupted him, still smiling: "Yi Zhanyu said it, let's talk about it when the child is older."

He said so, and the other party had no choice but to give up.

However, the speaker has no intention of listening and the listener has intentions. Shopkeeper Wu thought that the story was over, but Lin Zhanyu couldn't get over this hurdle. Even though he knew that Shopkeeper Wu was only out of enthusiasm, he was still angry and didn't talk to the other party all day.

But that person was right, it was impossible for Wei Qingjun not to remarry for the rest of his life.

Lin Zhanyu held back his doubts and entanglements in his heart for three full days, but couldn't bear it anymore, and finally ran to Wei Qingyun's house after finishing his work at night.

Shopkeeper Wu was very generous. He let Lin Zhanyu sleep in a small room by himself, and gave Wei Qingyun and Xiao Xiaoyi a bigger room.

It was already a little cold at night at this time of year, Lin Zhanyu stood at the door of Wei Qingyun's house in his coat, hesitated for a while, and finally knocked on the door.

"Brother, it's me." He said.

"Come in." Wei Qingyun's voice came from the room.

Lin Zhanyu entered the room in response, and saw Wei Qingjun half lying on the bed reading a book, and Wei Xueyi had already fallen asleep on the small bed in the inner room.Brother Wei looked up at him, and moved in on his own initiative: "Sit down."

He walked over and sat next to Wei Qingyun, took the book out of the man's hand and put it aside, and said softly, "I'm here to ask you something."

Brother Wei didn't let him continue, but looked at him: "Why don't you come and lie down for a while?"

"Ah?" Lin Zhanyu was stunned.

"You slept with me for a while when you were young, forget it?" Wei Qingyun smiled: "There is no need to speak so quietly. Xueyi's child sleeps well, as long as he falls asleep, even thunder can't wake him up."

Lin Zhanyu had no choice but to take off his coat and lie down.Wei Qingyun also lay down, turned over and looked at the young man, feeling quite emotional: "You haven't slept with me for several years, I don't know if it's my illusion, I always feel that you seem to avoid me a bit."

"No." Lin Zhanyu forced a smile and said half-truthfully, "You are my dearest person, why should I avoid you?"

"What do you want to ask? You are in such a hurry, you have to come here in the middle of the night, and you don't think it's cold." Wei Qingyun covered him tightly with the quilt: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"Brother." Lin Zhanyu approached tentatively, looking at Wei Qingyun's face in the night, it seemed that the face in front of him hadn't changed for many years.

He looked at the person in front of him, but what he thought of was the embrace that caught him when he fell off the roof when he was 13 years old: Although he was a little panicked, the person stuck his arms tightly to the coat. The faint scent of sandalwood has accidentally become the only youthful dream in his life.

He sighed, and murmured: "Actually, it's nothing important, I just want to ask you, when do you plan to marry another one?"

"That's it?" Wei Qingyun shook his head slightly: "Don't you understand? The world is so chaotic, I have to take care of you first, and I can't think about anything else for a while."

"Senior brother," Lin Zhanyu grabbed Wei Qingyun's inner jacket sleeve: "I am no longer a child, and I don't need you to protect me like before. If you want to marry another one, just go. If Xueyi can have one Mom, it's the best."

He wanted to stretch out his hand to cover Wei Qingyun's waist, but he hesitated for a while, but in the end he didn't dare.

Wei Qingyun smiled, and said in a low voice: "No need, this is enough for now." He thought for a while, and the smile disappeared from his face in an instant: "Besides, your sister-in-law Lu Jiang has only been gone for a year, and I miss her Well, you can’t do that heartless thing.”

Lin Zhanyu looked at him quietly for a while, then cursed himself hard in his heart.

He felt that he was really uncertain. Regarding whether Wei Qingyun wanted to marry another wife, his attitude was vacillating between good and bad, which almost drove him crazy.

Of course, Lin Zhanyu would not be ungrateful to Lu Jiang, but he knew that his reluctance to let Wei Qingyun continue was not just because of this person.

The only thing he can be sure of now is that his heart for Senior Brother Wei is true. Although he is reluctant to say it for a while, he is finally able to be frank with himself.

Wei Qingyun turned over: "I'm sleepy, you should go to bed earlier."

"Okay." Lin Zhanyu responded, but did not get up immediately, but made a "Wei Qingyun" mouth shape to his back.

This was the first time he called his senior brother's name directly, and he said quietly: You are mine.

No one heard this sentence, let alone saw it, except himself, only the flickering candlelight and the vast world as witnesses.

His face suddenly became red and hot, afraid that Wei Qingyun would see the clue, so he put on his coat and walked out the door quickly.

Lin Zhanyu suffered from insomnia that night, which is quite reasonable.

He tossed and turned in bed, his mind was full of Wei Qingyun.Back then, the young man who seemed gentle but actually had a lot of sharpness, now he and Wei Xueyi are responsible for most of the livelihood of both him and Wei Xueyi.

In the past when he was young, Lin Zhanyu didn't understand, but now he knows that Wei Qingyun appeared in his life at that time, and he couldn't escape it.

At that time, the child had just lost his broken home, and he was wary of everything around him. It was Wei Qingyun who opened the door of his heart.

Later, the young man finally learned the craft of being able to support himself, and it was Wei Qingyun who stood by his side for years.

After thinking about it, he felt that his feelings might not be that pure. Apart from admiration and longing, there was also loyalty and kindness mixed in.

Even at certain times, these usually inconspicuous emotions would suddenly take over like a force, making him unable to distinguish what he was thinking at all.

But at this moment, it doesn't matter to him, he just likes people like Wei Qingyun.Whenever he saw Senior Brother Wei, he felt extra at ease in his heart, which was something neither Master nor Qiao Li could give.

Even if he knew that the other party didn't have the same thoughts as him, he didn't care.

After stumbling and walking for so many years, all he wanted was a sense of stability.

He wanted to wait until one day after the war was over and all the foreigners and devils were driven out of China's territory, he could continue talking with Wei Qingyun to make everyone happy.When the crowd dispersed, he could also go back to the same home with this person, and maybe he could be cheeky enough to beg for a bowl of hot noodle soup.

After half a lifetime, Lin Zhanyu only has so much pursuit left.

But now he has reached a fork in the road again.At that time, he realized that he was powerless and could only choose to make it happen, but this time he was not so reconciled so easily.

Lin Zhanyu was sleepy and confused, but he couldn't help thinking wildly, and sometimes he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or a memory.

I don't know how long it took, but the chickens in the backyard started to crow, but he still hadn't fallen asleep.The next morning, when he appeared at the dinner table with a blank face and dark circles under his eyes, the guys were all taken aback by him.
