Coquettish

Xie Yan only took half a second to figure out what this meant, and immediately agreed.

He didn't evade or refuse, because he knew that every word Fu Qing said to him was sincere, and he really wanted to go.

When Fu Qing went upstairs, Xie Yan had just finished the last mouthful of instant noodles, and the room was filled with the smell of instant noodles.

He frowned: "You won't just eat this all the time when you come back, will you?"

After Xie Yan opened the door, she hurried back to clean up the dishes, and wanted to go to the old street with Fu Qing earlier, but she was startled when she heard this, and turned her head to explain: "No, I also ate something else."

Fu Qing took off his shoes, walked in, and looked around.

This is not the first time he has visited Xie Yan's house, but it is the time he has seen it most carefully.Although the room was small, it wasn't messy, at least it could be considered clean among single youths, but it was deserted, as if someone lived in it.

He walked to Xie Yan, opened the small refrigerator beside him, and there were all kinds of quick-frozen dumplings in it, and asked, "Is this the rest?"

Xie Yan stopped talking and continued to wash the dishes silently, the splashed water fell on the back of Fu Qing's hands, it was very cold.Most of the old apartment buildings like this are equipped with solar water heaters. In winter, there is little sunshine, and it is not enough for bathing, let alone hot water for daily life.

He took the bowls and chopsticks from Xie Yan's hand, and said, "I'll do the washing, you go and pack your things, and leave later."

Xie Yan's things were few, and they were sorted out quickly. As soon as Fu Qing turned off the tap, Xie Yan had already walked to the door of the kitchen with her bag on her back to wait for him.

There are cars and people everywhere on the road, and everywhere you look is festive red.Fortunately, it was still early and the roads were not too congested, but it took half an hour longer to drive to Laojie than before.

The streets of the old street are very narrow, and the road has not been repaired for many years. It is not easy to drive in, so just park outside and walk in.Most of the shops in the street were not closed, Fu Qing walked halfway, suddenly seemed to remember something, and said to Xie Yan: "Wait a minute, I'm going to buy something."

It was a clothes shop, a very small shop with stalls outside, it was very crowded, and one could only walk in sideways.Fu Qing asked Xie Yan to stay outside, and went in by herself.

There was a cold wind blowing outside, half of Xie Yan's face was wrapped in the scarf, only a pair of eyes and the tip of the nose were exposed, looking very warm.

But he didn't want to be so warm, so he loosened the scarf slightly, and exposed his ears again, only then could he vaguely hear the voices speaking inside.

The store owner seemed to ask who he wanted to buy it for.

Xie Yan heard Fu Qing say, "I bought it for the children at home. It's almost Chinese New Year, so we should wear new clothes."

It turned out to be buying new clothes for the children.

Xie Yan was startled, feeling a little cold, and wrapped the scarf again.

After a while, Fu Qing came out from the inside, with a black bag in his hand, and he couldn't see what was inside.

Xie Yan didn't ask, and the two walked home in silence. On the way, Fu Qing ordered two more braised vegetables, Xie Yan noticed that Fu Qing still didn't pay.

It seems that Brother Fu's account should be settled before the end of the year.

Xie Yan thought silently.

Unlike usual, many people came to the Fu family today, most of whom were of the same generation as Fu Qing and worked in the company.Xie Yan didn't know these people, and he wasn't the kind of person who likes to communicate with strangers. Fu Qing was busy with outside affairs and worried that he would not be happy by himself, so he called him to the small room behind him. The house, let Zhou Yu come to accompany Xie Yan.

Zhou Yu and Xie Yan still know each other, mainly because he has a thick skin, talks a lot, and can chat with anyone.When he entered the room, he said hello first, and seeing a big package on the sofa, which was brought in by Fu Qing just now, he asked curiously, "Brother Xie, what did Brother Fu buy?"

Xie Yan took a look: "New clothes for children."

Zhou Yu was puzzled: "Where does Brother Fu give children new clothes? I haven't seen him buy them in previous years."

As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Qing walked in with a tray.There were two bowls of bone soup and various pastries and snacks on the tray. He told Xie Yan, "There are a lot of people outside, and dinner may be late, so you should fill your stomach first."

Xie Yan took off his coat, sat on the sofa, tilted his head and nodded to Fu Qing.

Zhou Yu couldn't hide the matter, and asked anxiously: "Brother Xie said you bought a new set of clothes for the children, who did you buy them for? Why don't I know!"

Xie Yan paused when she took the soup.

Fu Qing was startled, looked towards Xie Yan, seemed to smile, but didn't seem to, and asked lightly: "Just heard it outside?"

Xie Yan closed her eyes halfway, and continued to scoop up the soup seemingly calmly, but her eyelashes trembled slightly, casting a blue-gray shadow under her eyes, making her look very self-deceiving and cute.

Fu Qing opened the bag, and there was a coat in it. The size was too big. It was not for children at first glance. He handed the coat to Xie Yan: "In addition to you, there are other children in my family. ?"

It turned out to be his.

Xie Yan raised her eyes, took the clothes uncomfortably, the bright red ones were brighter than the red lanterns hanging outside the window, so bright.

Cool Guy never wears clothes of this color.

But this matter cannot be left to Xie Yan to decide, after all, he has bought it back.

Fu Qing is very feudal and patriarchal in this matter, and has his own set of aesthetics: "It's a festive time to wear red during the Chinese New Year, and children should wear red."

Xie Yan pinched the corner of his clothes, and had no objection, anyway, he knew that he would look good in whatever he wore.

Zhou Yu listened from the beginning to the end, and said shyly, "Brother Fu, I'm also a child, why don't you buy me a new dress?"

Fu Qing put back his clothes, without even looking at him, he asked, "Are you still young?"

Zhou Yu's dog legs only reaped loneliness, and he hid in a corner by himself, muttering eccentrically: "Isn't this just for the new wife, what are you talking about, children?"

But no one heard this, otherwise, before the New Year is over, he might have to be beaten twice first.

Fu Qing went out to entertain guests after a short stay, leaving only Xie Yan and Zhou Yu in the room.

Xie Yan finished drinking the soup, glanced at the sky outside the window, and suddenly said: "I'll go out for a while."

Zhou Yu was still lazily lying on the sofa with his dead body, and immediately asked after hearing this, "What's the matter? I'll go with you."

Xie Yan refused, and Zhou Yu didn't ask any further questions.Although Fu Qing told him to take care of him, Xie Yan was not really a child, so there was no need to watch him so closely.

Xie Yan walked out of the yard alone. He hadn't been to the old street a few times, so he had a good memory. Although the terrain of the old street was complicated, he could still remember it clearly. From the many alleys, he found the braised vegetables that Fu Qing visited the most. shop.

He stood in front of the counter and said to the aunt inside: "I'll buy another two catties of beef for Brother Fu."

The aunt looked at him with a smile: "Two catties of beef? I cut it up and brought it back for you. Today is 29, Brother Fu is busy."

Xie Yan nodded, stayed in the same place very quietly, and only pretended to ask casually when he took the beef: "How much?"

The aunt clapped her hands: "Brother Fu has all the accounts in mind, and it will be settled at the end of the year. What money do you want now?"

Xie Yan raised her head suddenly: "How much? I'll settle the bill now."
