Summer, Tanabata.

"Brother~~" A sunny cutie stood outside the Flower.coffee door, looking up at her cheeks blushed by the sun, and shouted excitedly at Zhoubing inside.

Zhou Bing trembled when he heard the sound, turned his head to see the person and yelled: "Wait! Who is your brother? Where is your brother?! What's your name? Oh, where did I come from?!"

The little cutie is called Zhang Ning, Zhou Bing's junior, who chased him all the way from school.

With a little excitement in Zhang Ning's eyes, he said softly, "Brother, I'm calling you."

Zhou Bing pulled the hem of the long brown apron to fan herself, raised her hand and pointed at Zhang Ning: "I don't have a younger brother like you, go play around!"

Zhang Ning walked into the store while talking, and said with a smile: "Brother, the Lun family wants to play with you..."

Zhou Bing hurriedly took a step back: "Shut up! Dare to say it and see if I don't make you crazy!"

Zhang Ning blinked, squeezed his throat and let out a "huh~".

Zhou Bing was frightened to death, I have never seen a boy so sissy, but he turned around and ran in, yelling as he ran, "Fuck! Who the fuck, save me, brother—help me! Brother Ming—come out!" Beat the evildoer!"

Brother Ming has been used to seeing gay guys in the past two years, so it's not surprising to see them a lot.And as a dad, in recent years, I have been in a state of overflowing love when I see a child.Zhang Ning looks young, like a kid who just entered high school.

Zhang Ning sat on the high chair beside the front desk, and Brother Ming gave him a glass of iced drink and a piece of dessert.

Brother Ming: "Does the family know that you ran out?"

Zhang Ning glanced at the Zhou cakes packed with bouquets in front of the flower cabinet, and said, "I know, summer vacation is too boring to come and see the seniors."

Brother Ming asked curiously, "Do you know that he is straight and curved?"

Zhang Ning said a little dejectedly: "I guess he is straight. I tried it and the reaction was very strong. Our school has a lot of girls chasing Senior Zhou, but his reaction is just like that..."

Brother Ming: "Then you still chase?"

Zhang Ning whispered: "I want to see if I can bend him..."

Zhou Bing just passed behind Zhang Ning, raised his hand and smacked the back of Zhang Ning's head: "Shut up, you!"

Zhang Ning rubbed the back of his head, followed Zhou Bing's back and said, "Today is Qixi Festival."

Zhou Bing turned to look at Brother Ming, and made an expression of enlightenment: "No wonder my brother wore a suit so flirtatiously early in the morning." After speaking, he smiled meanly, "Brother Ming, have you fallen out of favor?"

Brother Ming spread his hands indifferently: "What am I afraid of, I see my pretty wife and my son every day, and I can celebrate Chinese Valentine's Day every day, can you?"

Zhou Cake: "..." Damn it!It hurts the boss.

Zhang Ning blended in with a smile: "Senior, why don't you hire me temporarily for a day, and I guarantee that you will be the coolest wherever you go."

Zhou Bing glanced at Zhang Ning: "You can pull it down! You have nothing to do, right? Just give me a hand. Brother Ming Express still has seven unpacked gift boxes. There are not enough roses. I will go to pull the goods. You two pack it." Said Without waiting for the boss to speak, he ran away.

Mingo's Erkang hand just stretched out.

Zhang Ning was happy to stay, and hurried to work.

Driving a small truck with two barrels of roses, Zhou Bing was distracted frequently, and drove to the road to the main entrance of No. [-] Middle School by accident.

The pickup truck was parked under the old locust tree at the gate, and he looked up at the Y-shaped old locust tree. The forks of the big tree had been polished smoother over the years, and the summer campus was extremely deserted.

Zhou Bing got out of the car and took two roses from the cargo box.

The janitor caught a glimpse of a pickup truck parked beside the school gate, and he had already come out. The driver who came down was a former No. [-] middle school student. He squinted his eyes and wrinkled his face and began to think about who this person was and what was his name?

Zhou Bing held up the rose and waved at the uncle: "Master, I come back to visit you twice a year, can you recall quickly next time..."

The uncle slapped his thigh: "Hey! This brat!"

Zhou Bing stuffed a rose into the uncle's hand: "Go back and send your wife off."

The two chatted for a few words, Zhou Bing was in a hurry to go back, and the uncle sent him to the side of the car before going back.Before getting into the car, Zhou Bing turned around and put another rose in his hand on the branch of the locust tree, which looked nondescript.

The pickup truck started, and he turned his head to glance at the campus.His most beautiful time was all enclosed in this wall, and he also enclosed someone in it.

Valentine's Day is busy from noon to night.Si Danian left early because she had to pick up her child from kindergarten, and when she left, the remaining three were too busy to have dinner.

"Dingling~Welcome!" Lucky Cat was talking almost out of battery this day, and the last sound split.

Zhou Bing turned around to see the person who came in, and immediately threw the half-packed bouquet on the table, with a posture of "leave the pick and leave", and shouted: "Human nature?! Brotherhood? ! The promised true love in the world?!"

Qi Ran carried two bags of takeaway food, put his foot on the door to let Si Xiaonian who was on the phone come in, pointed at Si Xiaonian with his chin and said triumphantly: "See, I really love you."

Zhang Ning was dumbfounded the moment he saw Qi Ran, the rose in his hand fell to the ground, and when he saw Si Xiaonian coming in from the outside, he went dumb.

Zhou Bing rolled his eyes angrily, took the takeaway in Qi Ran's hand, and touched Zhang Ning's arm with his elbow: "Let's eat first, let them pack."

Zhang Ning looked at Si Xiaonian with blank eyes and remained motionless.

Qi Ran frowned and pushed Si Xiaonian into the flower stand, as if to hide, and then asked Zhou Bing displeasedly: "Who is this?"

Zhou Bing said shamelessly: "I'm a fan. But I looked at the pills. Brother Xiaonian stunned my first male fan just as soon as he entered the door." He got up from the sofa, walked over and kicked Zhang Ning, "Silly thief, eat, go home quickly after eating."

A native of Zhang Ningjin City, it took only half an hour to go back by train, so Zhou Bing didn't intend to keep Zhang Ning to live.

Zhang Ning rolled his Adam's apple unconsciously.Qi Ran exploded directly: "Zhoubing!"

Zhou Bing jumped up in fright: "Oh~ Don't shout, the little gay has never seen the world, brother, can you be more generous, and you won't die if you look twice."

After Si Xiaonian made the phone call, he kicked Qi Ran's heel: "Do work first."

Brother Ming came out from the back, saw two helpers coming, immediately slumped on the sofa and said weakly: "If you don't come again, I will stop the order."

Si Xiaonian was still wearing overalls and asked, "How many orders are left? When will the orders stop?" He took off his suit while talking.

Qi Ran took out two coupons from his pocket, and shook them at Brother Ming: "Brother Ming, I have a Valentine's Day coupon for the movie theater, and I'll give you two."

Brother Ming laughed: "Okay, the door will be closed earlier at nine o'clock, let's... ouch, what should we do?"

Zhou Bing curled her lips unhappily: "Look at you guys, I also have a 'Valentine's Day Coupon', do you have a 'Couple Double Points Card'?"

Qi Ran unobtrusively took out the movie theater "double points card for couples" that he opened last year from his trouser pocket, waved it and showed off, "Double points~ You can get couples a set meal, popcorn and coke when you spend [-] points." ~"

Zhang Ning stared at each other, held his chin enviously, and said excitedly: "Wow~ you two are a couple! You are a good match!"

Qi Ran found another chance to show off his boyfriend, and grabbed Si Xiaonian, who was busy making bouquets, kissed Si Xiaonian on the corner of his lips, then squinted at Zhang Ning and made a "threatening" Expression: "Give up, boy, you have no chance, his heart, and his body are all mine!"

Brother Ming yelled "Ouch", and quickly covered his eyes in embarrassment.

Zhou Bing chewed things mechanically as he was used to, and let out a "tch".

Zhang Ning kicked Zhou Bing's toes, and asked in a low voice, "Senior, senior, which of them do you like?"

Zhou Bing said honestly: "I don't like any of them. You watch it every day, and you will be immune to it after a few years. What's more, the show with eyes open and closed will never annoy you and me."

Zhang Ning completely missed the point. He didn't know what to think of. He blushed and rubbed his knees excitedly.

Seeing him like this, Zhou Bing stuck to the back of the sofa in fright, pointed at him and said, "Calm down! Put away your vicious little heart, and be careful that I will beat you!"

Ever since Zhang Ning met Qi Ran and Si Xiaonian, his interest in Zhou Bing immediately shifted, and he became a fan of that couple without saying hello.

This summer, Qi Ran graduated from a five-year undergraduate program, and will start his first year of graduate school in September.Since he stopped playing in the group arena, Zhou Zheng approached him several times, and the club wanted to hire him back as a coach assistant or consultant coach. After Qi Ran agreed, he has been working in the club during the winter and summer vacations for the past few years.In the past few years, he has insisted on physical training, and the figure he has created is very attractive.The body fat rate has been maintained at around 10%, the muscles are not exaggerated, and the outline is very beautiful.Today, for a date, I also wore trousers. The soft fabric made the waist narrow and the buttocks long.

Si Xiaonian graduated last summer, has been working for a year, and is planning to resign recently.Because of his relationship with Qi Ran, Si Jin and Gao Dongmei felt they couldn't control his marriage, so they wanted to control his work.The final result was that Si Xiaonian went to the bank to do legal affairs according to their requirements.This year, Si Xiaonian was in court most of the time, either the bank sued the client, or the client sued the bank.Due to the nature of the work, I wear suits and leather shoes every day, and even in summer, I wear trousers and shirts.

In Qi Ran's view, Si Xiaonian like this is a dangerous thing if released.Originally, she had a beautiful and delicate face and a slender and well-proportioned body, but now that she was dressed up in a formal dress, she exuded a full of sultry sexiness in her movements.

So Si Xiaonian said he wanted to resign, but he agreed without saying a word.

The three of them by the floor-to-ceiling windows were having a late dinner, and Qi Ran and Si Xiaonian were wrapping flower gift boxes in front of the freezer.

After Qi Ran kissed Si Xiaonian for the third time, Si Xiaonian buckled the wrapped gift box, raised his hand and hooked his index finger on the collar of Qi Ran's black shirt, and pulled him down in front of his face.

He hooked Qi Ran's neckline with his index finger, slid his middle finger across Qi Ran's Adam's apple, and raised the corner of his mouth and said, "Speak up if you have something to say."

Qi Ran sucked his cheeks, put one hand on the glass door of the refrigerator, and put the other arm on Si Xiaonian's shoulder, and asked, "How many flowers and gifts did you receive today?"

Si Xiaonian raised his eyebrows, calculated carefully in his mind, but he still didn't tell the truth, and said vaguely: "Not much."

Qi Ran's eyelids drooped: "It's not much, how much is it? Don't say let go, hurry up and work, can't you watch a movie!"

As soon as Si Xiaonian retracted his arms, he directly pulled the man to his lips and kissed him.

"Lang!" Zhang Ning dropped his chopsticks.

Zhou Bing said in distaste: "Look at your potential!"

Brother Ming: "Just get used to it, get used to it."

Zhang Ning: "..." Ahhhhhhhhhhhh~~~~~~

Qi Ran kept staring at the tip of Si Xiaonian's nose, Si Xiaonian glanced at the child on the sofa, then looked at Qi Ran and asked, "Is it okay?" Such a big bird is jealous of a child.

Qi Ran: "No."

Si Xiaonian: "It's endless, isn't it?"

Qi Ran: "Yes."

Si Xiaonian: "...Let's talk, I still want to..."

Qi Ran: "Take power for one month."

Si Xiaonian let go of his hand, and pushed Qi Ran away: "It was you last week, and it was you last week, you might as well change."

Qi Ran wiped his mouth in embarrassment, put his face in front of Si Xiaonian and began to reason with him with his fingers: "Listen to me to do the math for you, let's just say that in the past, the first two years, we could still do things every day, right? Even if counting the number of times, it can be once a day seven days a week. Since when did you start? Oh, last year! You started to graduate last year! You have a lot of things to do every day! Earn money to support your family! Okay, our leader is too hard, five times a week is five This time, who made your bird feel sorry for you. What about this year? Don’t talk about this year, just say this week, Si Xiaonian, just tell me if you have other birds outside! "

Si Xiaonian was taken aback.

Zhou Cake: "Pfft!"

Zhang Ning: "Pfft!"

Brother Ming: "Cough cough cough cough~~~"

On the table by the floor-to-ceiling windows, rice, vegetables, and fruit juices were sprayed all over the table.

Qi Ran glared at the three eavesdroppers, then turned to stare at Si Xiaonian questioningly.

After Si Xiaonian got off work, Qi Ran followed him to Flower.coffee, without changing his overalls and tie.At this moment, the temper came up, the tie was pulled, and the group threw it on the flower cabinet, and turned to look at Qi Ran: "I don't want to trace whether your mathematics enlightenment is a problem taught by the physical education teacher, but! Please! You! One Can a bird stop playing addition, subtraction, multiplication and division, and being a bird quietly can suffocate you to death!"

Qi Ran: "Yes!"

Si Xiaonian took a deep breath, grabbed the collar of Qi Ran's shirt, dragged him straight to the back, and said to the three people by the window, "Don't look! Don't listen!"

Qi Ran felt that something important was about to happen, so he turned to Zhou Bing and said, "Let me use it for you."

After Zhou Biscuit nodded, the door had already slammed shut, and then there were muffled and vague voices coming from inside.

Zhou Bing got up to eavesdrop, Tang Ming raised his leg and blocked him back onto the sofa: "Be careful when your brother comes out to beat you."

Zhou Bing was also afraid, "Tch!" and continued to eat.After the meal, Zhou Bing urged Zhang Ning to book a ticket to go home quickly, and Zhang Ning walked away step by step.Brother Ming accompanied him for a while, and when he was done, he took the movie theater couple coupons that Qi Ran put on the flower cabinet and left.

Zhou Bing took a leisurely break and sat at the door to blow the air, waiting for his brother and Si Xiaonian to finish their visits so he could close the door.

In fact, he was particularly envious of those two who were promiscuous inside.Since high school, he had been particularly envious of his brother and Si Xiaonian.Will quarrel, occasionally fight, just finish the fight, when it's good, everyone will be tired of looking at each other, spoil each other badly, used to people who can't take care of themselves, once they leave the other party's sight, they will talk sarcasticly and no one will bother The bear that makes sense.

He didn't understand, is there really such a couple in this world?

—I can only see you.

After wandering around for more than an hour, the two of them walked out in human appearance.The clothes are crumpled, but they can still be seen. Both of them have a satisfied look on their faces, which makes people see that it is a T-passionate movie after a little association.

Qi Ran really thinks that the bird life is very beautiful. He has hands, mouth, and rides. Si Xiaonian has never served him in such a complete way. After the incident, he feels like a master. It can be recorded in the history of the two sauces, it is perfect.

Because the two of them were going to the movies, Si Xiaonian was making coffee, so Qi Ran went outside to visit the single brother.

Qi Ran: "Did you come a day?"

Zhou Cake was silent.

Qi Ran: "Why don't you forget it, you know a lot, our leader doesn't have any hope, or..."

Zhou Bing stubbornly interrupted Qi Ran: "Don't persuade me, ask yourself, if Brother Xiaonian didn't agree to you at that time, what are you doing now?"

Qi Ran raised his head to the sky and laughed twice, what can he do, stay alone.If he can see his boss Xiaonian, it must be Si Xiaonian.Even if he can't get him, he won't be a walking dead with warmth like Jiao Lei, but he won't just find anyone.

There were four cans of beer at Zhou Bing's feet, and he handed over one to Qi Ran: "I'm young, who am I afraid of, wait."

Si Xiaonian came out with the coffee, and when he came out, he twirled a flower petal, and stuffed it into Qi Ran's shirt pocket when he sat down.

Qi Ran looked down at the bright red petals pinched by the white fingertips, his heart beat without warning, like every time when he was emotional.He couldn't help pinching the back of Si Xiao's neck and pressing him towards her, and kissed her.

The tip of Si Xiaonian's tongue passed over Qi Ran's lips, and the kiss didn't last for a second.

When Zhou Bing turned her head, the two of them had already sat down leisurely.

Zhou Bing asked in a puzzled manner: "Brother Xiaonian, where is my brother?"

Si Xiaonian pursed his lips: "Live well."

Zhou Bing grinned: "Damn!"

Qi Ran nodded in agreement: "You are still young, you don't understand, you will need it in the future, just ask."

Zhou Bing kept waving his hands angrily: "Goodbye! Hurry up and disappear in front of me, or I will take revenge on the society."

The two got up and walked along the sidewalk. Si Xiaonian was carrying coffee, and Si Xiaonian's suit jacket was hanging on his arms.

Qi Ran: "Take a taxi?"

Si Xiaonian: "The bus."

Qi Ran: "There are popcorns for sale at the bus station."

Si Xiaonian: "Keg, his one is too sweet."

Qi Ran: "I go to the club commercial street to buy, I always feel that the store has the taste of first love."

Si Xiaonian smiled and kicked Qi Ran.

Qi Ran laughed and avoided: "Isn't it right? A certain person bought popcorn from that shop twice and fed a bird, trying to lure the bird back home, plotting against the bird..."

Zhou Bing looked at the two figures from behind with a smile on his lips.

The moon is in the middle of the sky, the night wind becomes cooler, and occasionally two frogs are mixed in with the cicadas."Whosays", a heart-warming song, has been circulating in the store.

Zhoubing began to hum along: "WhosaysIcan'tgetstoned. Turnoffthelightsandthetelephone. Meinmyhousealone. WhosaysIcan'tgetstoned..."

……

Who says I can't get hit

turn off lights and phones

i'm home alone

Who says I can't get hit

……

After drinking three cans of beer, Zhou Bing went back to the store to fill up the water, and when he came out, he carried another dozen. When he walked to the door, he saw a person standing under the steps.

He paused for a while, just glanced at Jiao Lei with eyelids, sat down, put a can of beer in the place where Qi Ran had sat, and said, "Sit."

He can't show Jiao Lei's respect and politeness to the teacher now, he can't even pretend it.

In the winter of freshman year, after they separated on the overpass, they have only met once in between until now. It was the New Year's Department Xiaonian who called Jiao Lei at a party, and he was lucky enough to see this paralyzed face that has not changed for several years.

He sometimes asks himself, what is it about this face that attracts him.

Jiao Lei bent down and picked up the beer can, then sat down beside Zhoubing.

Zhoubing immediately smelled the smell of burning paper, that's right, today is Qixi Festival, Jiao Lei should have gone to Dachengshan Cemetery.

Zhou Bing: "Are you okay?" He asked about the cemetery.

Jiao Lei pulled off the pull tab, took a sip, filled half of the can in one gulp, and then let out a "huh".

The silence was infinitely prolonged.The two of them just drank like this, listening to the sound of car tires rubbing against the ground, listening to the chatting of people passing by the shop, listening to the croaking of insects and frogs in the summer night, listening to the beating of their own hearts.

Zhou Bing's cell phone rang, but he didn't hear the ringtone because of his wild thoughts, until Jiao Lei touched him, and he heard it.

Zhang Ning complained over there: "I just got home."

Zhou Bing rubbed his forehead and asked, "Are you late?"

Zhang Ning raised his voice full of resentment and said: "I missed the high-speed rail, and I took the T prefix!"

In a half-drunk state, Zhou Bing chuckled twice, gloated and said, "Who told you to come, you deserve it."

But Zhang Ning smiled: "No, I'm happy to see a super handsome guy. I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to sleep. See you at the beginning of school!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhou Bing put his forehead against the screen, and stayed dazed for a few minutes before raising his head.

Jiao Lei opened the second can and asked, "A friend came to see you?"

Zhou Bing smiled: "Yeah."

Jiao Lei kept his gaze fixed and said, "It's better to make more friends."

Zhou Bing turned to look at him: "Then why don't you make more friends?"

Jiao Lei: "I have Xiaonian...and you, that's enough."

It stands to reason that Zhou Bing should be happy to be classified as a friend, but he felt as if he had been stabbed. He laughed and said: "I have upgraded, I thought I was a passerby, ha ha."

Jiao Lei turned his head to look at Zhou Bing, saw that he seemed to be drinking too much, and persuaded him, "Don't drink."

Zhou Cake Gang waved his hand generously: "Take care of me! Can friends be more lenient?!"

Jiao Lei stopped talking again.

The air of Zhou Bing came up, and the suffocation was constantly fermented with the strength of the wine, overflowing from the bottom of his heart, drilling out from every pore, making him uncomfortable.

He said angrily: "Do you know, you look like a black and white silent film, except black and white is gray, look, look, everyone else is in color, live with their own BGM, you are incompatible with this, this world, no Did you find out! Who hasn’t clicked on the past, who isn’t fragile, who isn’t fucking proud... Is it interesting to play the past in a loop every day? Are you blind! Can’t see this fluffy thing clearly, why are there so many people watching in the flamboyant world? ...You are looking forward to you, just pretend to be blind, why the hell are you still pretending to be deaf and dumb, turning a blind eye to..."

Jiao Lei snatched the beer can from Zhou Bing's hand and put it where he couldn't get it. There were more than a dozen empty cans up and down the steps, only two of which were for him to drink.

Jiao Lei packed up the empty wine cans up and down the steps, came back and sat down, and said, "I saw it."

Zhou Bing scolded, "Shit!", lying on his knees and turning his face to one side.

After another long silence, Jiao Lei suddenly asked, "Are you going to graduate school?"

Zhou Bing is only a junior when school starts in September, so it's a bit early to consider whether to go to graduate school.He sat up straight in a daze, frowning and looking at Jiao Lei, not knowing how to answer for a moment.

What do you mean?

Jiao Lei's eyes were covered with a layer of mist, making it hard to see clearly. He said slowly, "Come back to graduate school."

Zhou Bing felt something heavy hit him from behind, his upper body jerked in the air, and his dizziness became worse.After losing the ability to think, he stared at the hard and handsome side face for several seconds, and always felt that Jiao Lei's mandible, which looked like a knife, looked soft at the moment, neither sharp nor cold.

He turned his head and opened his mouth to say something, but what?

In the middle of the night, dew began to fall, and a thin layer of mist fell on the green leaves of the street.In the sky above the city, it seems that misty mist can be seen falling down.

Drink up, people half drunk.As the temperature drops, it seems that people cool down too.The two sat for hours without moving or talking.

Zhou Bing gradually understood the meaning of that sentence.For him, it is temptation.But after all, it's not a promise, and it's impossible for him to make a promise with a face like a person who is hurt and has no heart on him.

No matter how much he deceived himself and others, he couldn't do it.

He thought about Daybreak awkwardly.

Jiao Lei got up and left.

Zhou Bing watched the rising sun halfway through the east, got up and entered the house.

The store usually opens at nine o'clock, but now it's just after five o'clock, Zhou Bing thought he could still sleep for more than three hours.With an extremely heavy head, he searched for the remote control of the anti-theft rolling door in the house. After searching for more than ten minutes, the remote control was in his apron pocket.

He remembered that he drank so much wine, there must be a pile of cans in front of the door.He went to the back room to look through the large garbage bags. The storage room was messed up by him. When he looked up, he found the garbage bags hanging on the door of the storage room.

After he got up, he was in a daze for a long time, wondering what happened to him?

Walking out with a garbage bag in one hand and a remote control in the other, when I raised my knee to push open the glass door, I found a bag of takeaway hanging on the doorknob. The logo on the food bag was a restaurant three shops away from Flower.coffee. There is no wine tank up and down the steps, which is very clean.

Zhou Bing stood inside the door, staring dumbly at the takeaway bag hanging on the handle outside the door, unable to tell what it was like.

What should he do with this man?
