"Really?" Wei Qingyun curled her lips: "I'm hungry, I'll get something to eat."

"Come back soon." Lin Zhanyu regained his composure and stood up immediately.

Worried that Wei Qingyun would not let him go out, he began to make up nonsense: "What else can you do besides noodles? I'm tired of eating."

Even if he really misses the noodles that Senior Brother Wei cooked for him right now.

He sighed: "Wait, I'm going to fry two dishes."

Wei Qingyun stopped, but didn't turn around: "It's okay."

Soon Lin Zhanyu brought the delicate fried dishes back to the house.He held a plate in one hand, all of which were vegetarian dishes.

Under the faint candlelight, Wei Qingyun was writing.

"Taste." Lin Zhanyu put the small plate in front of Wei Qingyun, and stuffed a pair of chopsticks into his hand.

"Not bad." Wei Qingyun found that his junior cooking skills were getting better and better, and he sincerely praised: "If you practice again, the big brother in the kitchen will be robbed of his job by you."

What Wei Qingyun didn't know was that with the two dishes out of the pot, this person's mood eased a lot.

"Then how do you think I compare with my sister-in-law back then?" Lin Zhanyu was ready to be scolded by his senior brother, and immediately hid in the distance after saying this.

Sure enough, Wei Qingyun's mood instantly became very bad.

He put down his chopsticks and glared at Lin Zhanyu: "How many years has she been gone? You always compete with a dead man, is it interesting?"

"I don't. Lu Jiang's sister-in-law is such a good person, why did I come here?" Lin Zhanyu immediately denied: "The person I am competing with is not her, but you."

Hearing this, Wei Qingyun became even more depressed: "You."

He thought, I really can't do anything about you.

"Senior brother, don't do this." Lin Zhanyu tentatively approached a little: "This is what I worked so hard to make, you have two more bites."

However, what he didn't expect was that Wei Xueyi woke up at this time, perhaps because of the smell of the food.

He got off the bed and walked slowly to Wei Qingyun's side.He didn't speak, just stared at the two dishes.

"Yo, are you hungry too?" Lin Zhanyu smiled happily. He sat next to Wei Qingyun, picked up the child and put it on his lap, picked up another pair of chopsticks, and fed it to the child one bite at a time.

"Is Uncle Lin's craftsmanship good?" He asked intentionally.

"Okay." The child didn't know any worries, and was cheerful in Lin Zhanyu's arms.

"Senior brother, have you seen it? Your son likes to eat my cooking." Lin Zhanyu said with a smile: "If you are willing, I will cook for you and your father for the rest of your life, and you will be blessed."

Wei Qingyun snorted coldly, not intending to spend much time with this stubborn guy.

"Little guy, would you like Uncle Lin to cook for you every day?" Seeing that Wei Qingyun ignored him, Lin Zhanyu turned to Primary School Yi.

"Yes." Wei Xueyi nodded emphatically.

"Then we and I have made an agreement." Lin Zhanyu stretched out his hand to hook Wei Xueyi's little finger, and said deliberately, "Don't care about your father."

"Why don't you care about my father?" The child opened his big eyes, extremely confused.

"It's okay, you help Uncle Lin persuade him." Lin Zhanyu stuffed Wei Xueyi into his senior brother's arms: "Your father doesn't like Uncle Lin, and without his consent, Uncle Lin can't cook for you."

"Have you had enough trouble?" Wei Qingyun's face darkened: "You rely on me to love you, and you can't do something to tear your face apart, so you're just talking nonsense here."

He wiped Wei Xueyi's mouth, and put the child on the bed again: "Good boy, sleep well. Father and Uncle Lin have something to discuss."

At this point, Lin Zhanyu actually no longer has any worries.

In the past, he would still worry about whether Wei Qingjun would not even want to live with him because of his dead skin, but now they are living a life that cannot be guaranteed, and it is not even known how long they can live. Who has the heart to think about it? Those ones?

This moment is forever.He has no fear.

"What do you want to discuss?" After Wei Qingyun put the child to sleep, in order not to disturb the child's sleep, Lin Zhanyu lowered his voice: "Just say it."

"Of course I want to say it straight, and I need you to remind me." Wei Qingyun squinted at him, and as soon as he opened his mouth unexpectedly, Lin Zhanyu said in unison with him: "Zhanyu, senior brother is for your own good."

This made Wei Qingyun very embarrassed. He cleared his throat and said in a low voice, "Since you know, why..."

"Senior brother," Lin Zhanyu didn't answer him, but asked instead: "Have you never been so tempted by me?"

In the dim light and shadow, he looked into Wei Qingyun's eyes, trying to see some wavering in them: "I've been thinking every day these years, what is the difference between me and Lu Jiang's sister-in-law? I basically do everything she can do for you. It's complete. Besides, I can also work with you and help you make money, which she can't do. "

He thought for a while, and suddenly felt a little lonely: "I just can't have a baby with you, I really can't help it. But you have already learned, he is so smart and cute, is it not enough for you to have a son like him?"

Lin Zhanyu's words were too straightforward, Wei Qingyun's face turned green and pale, and he wished to find a needle and thread to sew the man's mouth shut.

"So," Lin Zhanyu smiled: "Brother, I don't think you should do this."

Seeing that Wei Qingyun didn't speak, he went on to say: "It's really not possible, you can try with me first. Anyway, you don't have a girl you want to marry now, so you can be idle if you are idle. In case you suddenly discover my benefits one day, then Isn't it just right?"

He put on an appearance of whispering, pretending to be mysterious: "If I were you, I would do this. Anyway, I won't suffer, why not do it?"

"Get out." Wei Qingyun couldn't bear it anymore.

"Brother." Xiaozhi ended with reason, and Lin Zhanyu began to move with emotion.He leaned closer, almost coquettishly.

"Look." He took off his clothes, revealing the scar left by the bullet on his right shoulder: "You always say you love me, so do you feel bad about this?"

nonsense.Wei Qingyun didn't even want to look at this person, but he was thinking in his heart: Of course I feel bad, I wish I was the one who suffered, why are you so stupid.

"I have lived for more than twenty years, and now I have nothing but you." Lin Zhanyu tidied up his clothes, pretending to be lost: "A small box of manuscripts, an huqin, some scattered money and clothes, plus learning, this It is all our belongings. If I really leave you, I will have nothing."

Seeing that Wei Qingyun's expression was no longer so serious, Lin Zhanyu rushed forward and hugged his arm: "Brother, are you willing to let me live in such a miserable life? Are you still my brother?"

Lin Zhanyu is worthy of talking about jokes. He is usually used to talking and singing, but now he puts on a show without any effort.

In those years when he was an apprentice, he worked hard and inherited the art of Boss Qiao in an extremely comprehensive way. In terms of willow work, he has faintly surpassed him. In terms of performance, although he is not as proficient as Qiao Xiaoyan, it is not bad. .

With the passage of time, his greenness gradually faded when he was born.If Boss Qiao is still alive, he must be very satisfied with him.

Wei Qingyun couldn't tell how much this person was acting, and he couldn't tell his mood to think.

He instinctively wanted to push Lin Zhanyu away, so he raised his hands, but he was reluctant after all.

When he didn't speak, Lin Zhanyu stayed silent with him until he suddenly laughed.

"Why do I have to deal with such an unreasonable little ancestor like you?" Wei Qingyun shook his head with a wry smile: "Sooner or later, this old life will be in your hands."

"Don't." Lin Zhanyu said with a smile: "Let's try to live two more years together. Wouldn't it be nice to live a long life? We can also spend more time with Xueyi."

He thought for a moment: "At least you have to live long enough to beat the devils away. When I went out two days ago, I saw a group of students parading in the street to mobilize everyone to fight against Japan. They even dragged me and asked me to sing "Jiang Han" again. Fisherman's Song, said to boost morale."

"Okay." Wei Qingyun sighed: "Can you sit up straight? My arms are sore."

Lin Zhanyu got up quickly and began to rub his arms for him.

Wei Qingyun avoided him without a trace: "It's getting late, you should take a rest earlier. I still have something to write, and I'm going to sleep when I'm done."

Lin Zhanyu looked at him and found that his expression had softened a lot, at least he was no longer as strict and decisive as before, leaving no room for others to refute.

"Senior Brother," Lin Zhanyu didn't follow his wishes, but continued with his own thoughts just now: "I used to think that the future would be long, but now that I am in such a world, who knows how long I can live? I don't go to sleep, I want to look at you, just take one more look."

If it were in the past, Wei Qingyun would definitely refute: nonsense, there is nothing to watch tomorrow.

But at this moment, he couldn't speak.Because he knew that Lin Zhanyu was right.

Not to mention the next day, maybe the next second a shell will fall, and the two of them will disappear from the world together with the child.

But before he could say anything, the air defense siren sounded again.

Lin Zhanyu regained his energy immediately, and he didn't get tired of his senior brother. He quickly picked up the child, and dragged Wei Qingyun who had just picked up the things, and ran out like crazy.

For safety, they live very close to the air-raid shelter.When he hid in, there were already many people inside. Looking at their sleepy looks, Lin Zhanyu knew that these people had probably moved to the air-raid shelter for a long time.

Lin Zhanyu felt that this place was indeed a good place to live, but they couldn't come over.The air-raid shelter was too damp for the children to stand.

He held Wei Xueyi in his arms, let the child lie on his shoulder and continued to sleep.He leaned against the wall, lowered his eyes, and listened quietly to the movement inside and outside.

What he didn't know was that Wei Qingyun was standing not far away looking at him.

The young man in front of him looked extremely determined.He was born in a small ramshackle family and grew up in a chaotic world full of wars and flames. He has been displaced for many years, and life and death have become commonplace for him.

But he has never become indifferent because of this, he still has the strength and blood.

All of this is very much like his brother Wei's appearance a few years ago.

For a moment, Wei Qingyun felt that the city gate that he had guarded in his heart for many years seemed to be loosening.

What about later?What should I do next?Not to mention anything else, when Wei Xueyi grows up one day and asks, how will they explain it?

However, this thought only appeared in Wei Qingyun's mind for a moment, because the sound of gunfire outside quickly drowned out all the rationality of this person.

People have been tortured to the point of numbness by fear, and Wei Qingyun felt that he was no exception.At the beginning, he still thought about how to survive, but until now, he only felt at a loss and tired.

He glanced at Lin Zhanyu again, and saw that the man was still standing in an inconspicuous corner, with a face hidden in the shadows, and no expression could be seen.

Wei Qingyun's heart suddenly beat very fast, but what he thought in his heart was: That's all, let him go.

Absurdity is absurd. In this life, this life and this family are like ants and duckweed. I don’t know if there will be tomorrow when I lie down today. Why are you still thinking about the future?

What a wishful thinking.
