Xin Zhai

The next morning, Ye Li unexpectedly received a call from Cheng Luoyi.When Chen Shan arrived in the second semester of her second year of high school, the difficulty of many subjects became more difficult.Chen Shan also wanted to invite him to attend classes until the end of the college entrance examination.Of course Ye Li was willing, so he agreed to go to her home for class tomorrow afternoon.

After more than a year, Ye Li came to this seaside villa again.As soon as I entered the door, on the corner table in the living room on the first floor, there was a round-bellied vase with yellow and pink peonies in it. The colors were elegant and the flowers were in full bloom.In the past, her family liked to grow green plants, and her eyes were full of lush greenery, but she always felt that something was missing.Today's entire living room is much more lively because of this cluster of foreign peonies.

Ye Li gave Chen Shan a two-hour class.When it was almost finished, Cheng Luoyi came back with her little daughter.That little girl is about one year old and still can't walk.Cheng Luoyi put on a waist stool and carried her in front of her.As soon as she entered, she came to Chen Shan's room to say hello.Ye Li saw that she was wearing a pullover, sports pants, and her long hair was braided, hanging behind her back.Her cheeks were flushed, she might have put on light makeup, or she might be a little tired from taking the child out, Ye Li couldn't tell the difference, but felt that she was full of vigor.

"Brother." She said to the little girl.

The little girl was babbling, her head was disproportionately large, and her hair probably had never been shaved, which made her pull a small braid at the back of her head.

Ye Li finished his class and sat in the living room chatting with Cheng Luoyi.The little girl was held in her arms all the time, but she was not noisy, she kept holding a bell that could ring and gnawed it in her mouth.

Cheng Luoyi asked her aunt to bring Ye Li another plate of cherries.Although I haven't seen it for a long time, Ye Li didn't feel that it was cooked, so he grabbed a few and ate them.

"Are you tired of taking care of the children?" Ye Li asked.

"It's okay, better than the boss at that time."

"Huh? Shanshan is so capable of tossing around?"

Cheng Luoyi pinched the little girl's two little hands, waving them back and forth in front of her to tease her, while recalling: "He is very naughty, and likes to ride on his father's neck and back. Her father just hunches her around the house all day long." Climb, hehe."

Ye Li smiled and asked, "Father, are you still here?"

"I saw the second child once, but I haven't been here for a long time. I heard that the third child is also pregnant with a second child. At that time, I was so angry that I didn't think it was interesting, so I divorced."

"The company over there is his, and the one here is mine, and there was no fight." Cheng Luoyi said calmly, "After half a year, when the little girl was half a year old, he said he wanted to come and see, but I didn't let her. "

"In the past six months, I've had a good time." Cheng Luoyi turned the little girl over and faced herself, talking to her, "What, what?", then kissed her round face, "The work of the company I let the people below do most of it, and now I just concentrate on taking care of my children, and I feel better than before.”

Ye Li said: "Yeah, I see you are younger than before."

"Well, I'm in a better mood, so her father said he wanted to see his daughter again, and I agreed."

"Oh?" Ye Li was a little surprised.

"Don't hate so much. Children also need father's love."

Just as I was talking about this, Chen Shan also came in, gnawing an apple in her hand: "I told her earlier to let her get a divorce. Divorce earlier, and live happily ever after."

"Divorce is only the first step, and I still have to let myself go." Cheng Luoyi said to herself.

"You are easily deceived by him."

Cheng Luoyi smiled: "That's your father, he loves you very much."

"Didn't I complain for you? He just spoke nicely, and he knocked you out with just a few words." Chen Shan said to Ye Li, "My dad is very good at talking, what he said was better than what he sang."

Ye Li laughed, and continued to listen with great interest to the mother and daughter discussing the most important man in their lives.

Cheng Luoyi nodded: "Well, he is quite good at this aspect. He knows what different people want to hear. When he was young, he still liked to write poems."

"Oh, don't mention those sour poems he wrote." Chen Shan snorted, "There is nothing reliable about a man who thinks about writing poems every day. What's that called? 'I only loved a man at the right age' ? It’s not like eating what’s in the bowl and looking at what’s in the pot.”

Seeing Ye Li's parents divorced, Chen Shan also became talkative.At a young age, he looks like he has experienced a lot.

"Hehe," Cheng Luoyi looked at her daughter and smiled, "I think those love poems are true and beautiful the moment they are written, and fulfill their value."

"I don't think it's beautiful, it's too sour."

"That's because you have never liked anyone." Cheng Luoyi looked at her daughter and smiled, "Don't be so pessimistic because of the matter between me and your father."

Chen Shan curled her lips and said nothing, picked up a handful of cherries from the table, said "you two talk", then turned and went back to her room.

"This child." Cheng Luoyi smiled embarrassedly at Ye Li, "I'm afraid that she won't get married in the future because of us." After thinking about it, she said, "Oh, it's fine if you don't get married, but if you want Love boldly."

At this time, outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, a round of sunset began to sink slowly, and the sky gradually darkened.At some point, the little girl in front of Cheng Luoyi fell asleep with her head tilted.

Ye Li didn't speak for a long time, and didn't know what he was thinking.

"Ye Li," Cheng Luoyi asked softly, "Have you ever liked anyone?"

"Ah?" Ye Li came back to his senses, turned his head and looked out the window, there was a flickering golden light on the sea just now, and half of the sun was floating on the golden coastline.

"I like someone...someone I shouldn't like."

"Shouldn't you like it?" Cheng Luoyi asked curiously, "Is she married?"

Ye Li hurriedly said, "That's not true."

"What's wrong with that?"

A gust of sea breeze blows into the house, bringing a salty, wet and cool atmosphere, and the golden color on the sea level is extinguished.

The night that just fell was very pure, and Ye Li could see very far away at a glance. He could see the freighter sailing out of the port, the seagulls flying in the remaining sunset light, and the everlasting lighthouse deep in the sea.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Cheng Luoyi put the child in her arms flat, picked her up, and whispered, "I'll put her on the bed, wait for me for a while."

"No, auntie, I have to go." Ye Li stood up and said.

Cheng Luoyi asked to stay: "Let's eat here."

"I won't eat." Ye Li smiled a little shyly, "I'm going to eat with him."

When he walked out of Chen Shan's house, it was completely dark, and the freighter in the distance was humming.Something called happiness filled his chest, and he had never felt such a thing so intensely and for a long time as today.Cheng Luoyi is right, it's all in her heart.The happiness he felt when he kissed the one he loved could have flowed out like this, never ending.

"I landed." Tong Yan said on the phone.

Ye Li was on the bus. He originally reserved a place for dinner, but suddenly changed his mind.

"Oh, I'll wait for you at the west gate of the school."

There is a big supermarket outside the west gate, and things are much cheaper than the small supermarket on campus.Ye Li is not afraid of trouble, and usually comes here to buy things.He got off the bus, went into the supermarket, picked some vegetables, and bought two catties of pork ribs.Walking to the place where the fruit was sold, Ye Li saw that strawberries were in season. Ye Li took a plastic bag and was about to put it in when he suddenly saw cherries on the shelf beside him.This season, the domestically produced cherries have not yet come down, and the imported varieties are sold. They are very big, purple and purple, and cost more than 60 yuan a catty.

He put down the strawberries in his hand, turned to get cherries, packed more than a catty, and went to the cashier to check out.After buying two bags of things, I just spent all the tuition money I earned in the afternoon.

He came out of the supermarket and glanced at his phone. 10 minutes ago, Tong Renyan had already boarded a taxi.He estimated that it would take another quarter of an hour for him to arrive, so he sat on the curb outside the west gate and waited.

After a while, Ye Li saw a taxi approaching and parked not far in front of him.Tong Yan got out of the car, took the box from the trunk, and walked straight towards him.He stood up and walked over with a plastic bag in one hand.

"Why are you waiting here?" Tong Yan walked all the way with a smile, looked at the things in his hand, "What did you buy?"

"Vegetables." Ye Li said.

Tong Yan was a little surprised: "Did you treat me to... food?"

"Hmm... make it at home, it's cheap. Is it okay?"

"Okay, that's great." Tong Yan took a plastic bag, put it on the suitcase and pushed it, took Ye Li's free hand, squeezed it hard, and walked to the side of the road together.

After getting out of the taxi, the two entered the house.Tong Yan was busy opening the windows for ventilation, turning on various electrical switches, and went to the bedroom to pack things.Ye Li washed the ribs and stewed them.He was glad that he bought a pressure cooker last time, otherwise, he didn't know when he would be able to eat the ribs.

After the dishes were washed and cut, he washed the cherries again, put them on a plate, and brought them to the living room.

Seeing that Tong Yan had just finished packing and just sat on the sofa, he took one and stuffed it into his mouth.

An unbelievable expression flashed across Tong Yan's face, he ate the cherry, and then leaned over, before touching Ye Li's face, Ye Li leaned over, closed his eyes, and touched him clumsily with his mouth His lips and arms wrapped around his neck.

He had never seen Ye Li so proactive, and he was immediately moved, hugged him into his arms, and kissed him for a long time.

The pressure cooker in the kitchen suddenly barked.Tong Yan rubbed his lips up and down on his face, and asked in a low voice, "So happy today?"

"Yeah." Ye Li's face was extremely hot, and his stomach was also hungry.

Tong Yan teased him: "Win the lottery?"

"Yes," Ye Li tightened his neck, "I hit you."
