Shen Yuying had a good time these few days, the exams were over, the level was upgraded, and the online competition was over, and she just stayed at home and played games leisurely every day.For the first time this year, my mother didn't urge her to go home. She really wanted to stay in the dormitory for a winter vacation. Going home for the New Year is so boring.But on New Year's Eve, Qiao Yifan carried her on the train home with her luggage, and went straight back to her grandmother's house.There is no way, the old grandma said, she misses her grandchildren.

This year's Chinese New Year is a little different from previous years. Ms. Wang Jiaojiao, who always arrives early, didn't come late until dinner was about to start. She put on heavy makeup on her face. When she saw her, she curled her lips and said, "I'm decorating my home. During the holidays, you should first Let's live with grandma. Oh, look at you, you are so beautiful, but you are not allowed to play computer games every day, remember to help with housework, no matter how old you are..."

"Uh, uh, uh-hmm--" Shen Yuying replied, looking behind her, "Where's my dad? Is there no parking space downstairs?"

There was a sudden silence in the room, and the uncle of the Wang family laughed loudly: "Yes, sister, where is my brother-in-law?"

"He said that there was a problem with a batch of goods in the warehouse, and he went to work on his own. Let us eat first without waiting for him. Ignore him. When the Chinese New Year is not drunk, I will serve you later. I will wait for you. I would rather he didn't come, so I don't worry!" Wang Jiaojiao sat down on the chair and said with disgust.

"Mom—" Shen Yuying glanced at her awkwardly, and quickly picked up the extra set of bowls and chopsticks and put them back in the kitchen.Her mother is good at everything, but she is too strong.She always felt that she was married to a phoenix man, and she always acted domineering to her father, never saving him face in front of others and her daughter.It's also thanks to her father's good temper, who has been used to her queen mother's temper for so many years.

Before she came out of the kitchen, she heard her grandmother scolding her mother angrily: "...why are you talking so much in front of the children? Show off your abilities, right?"When grandma saw her coming out, she calmed down and put on a smiling face and told her to eat more.

As soon as Shen Yuying sat down, Qiao Yifan put the saucepan over for her, and she quickly said, "I don't want coriander."

"I know, no coriander." Qiao Yifan said, picked up the bowl again, and served her the soup.

"I don't drink chicken soup, who would love it if it's greasy..." Wang Jiaojiao on the opposite side slapped her in the eye when she heard this, she choked and immediately swallowed back the words.

"I've skimmed the oil twice, try it, it's a free-range chicken that my mother asked someone to catch in the countryside." Qiao Yifan listened, and only filled a small bowl for her before putting it down.One of them lowered their heads to drink the soup, while the other just looked at them. No one noticed. Qiao's mother at the other end of the table turned her head and took a deep look at them several times.As Wang Jiaojiao watched all this, the haze in her eyes gradually rose, and she couldn't hold back the forced smile on her face anymore.

After drinking for three rounds, Shen Yuying and the others wanted to sneak out to play with themselves as usual, but they were stopped by Wang Jiaojiao.She was smiling all over her face, and she only looked at Yifan and said, "I said Yifan, how much can you earn a month when you hang out in Internet cafes in City H?"

"Ah...not much, our team...we are still playing in the Challenger League." Qiao Yifan was a little at a loss, Ms. Wang Jiaojiao had never been very interested in him before!In fact, the proprietress still only provides board and lodging without salary, and he has been living off his savings from Tiny Herb, but he subconsciously doesn't want to mention this.

Wang Jiaojiao immediately showed a knowing expression: "Oh... I told your mother a long time ago, what is the future of the society after graduating from junior high school? Now even Foxconn doesn't want junior high school students. It's not that my aunt said you, you are almost there, You should go back to school and learn more, otherwise it will be difficult to even fall in love in the future. When a girl asks, she graduated from junior high school and is still a gamer. Whose parents can rest assured that their girl will marry you?"

"Drink water, drink water," Shen Yuying saw that Qiao Yifan and Qiao's mother looked a little unhappy, she quickly poured a glass of water, and came up to smooth things over, "I'm sorry, my mother is a little drunk..."

Wang Jiaojiao pushed her away, and spilled half of the glass of water on the ground: "Why do you interrupt me when I'm talking to Yifan? Is there anyone like you who is an older sister? A kid in his teens doesn't study and doesn't go to work. What good can I do after going to the Internet cafe every day? What’s wrong with me saying a few words to him? Oh, I’m married in love, so there’s no room for me to talk in this room, right? My old lady’s surname is Wang!”

As soon as the words were finished, grandma rushed out of the kitchen, tore off her apron and threw it on the ground: "Wang Jiaojiao, have you had enough trouble? Have you had enough trouble? Have you finished your New Year's Eve?"

There was a dead silence in the room, grandma stared from left to right, then from right to left, sighed, took out three red envelopes from her pocket, and sent one to each of the three of them: "Yifan, take your sister out." Let's get some air, don't be bored in the room, be good..." Shen Yuying took it with red eyes, turned and rushed out.

I don't know when the light rain fell on New Year's Eve, and there were few people on the street. She walked stiffly, letting the tears on her face be dried by the wind, and kept walking like this.Qiao Yifan has been silently following behind her, not far or near, the pack of tissues in his pocket was crumpled and deformed, and he couldn't hand it out.

"...What's wrong with my mother?" When she felt that she could speak, she choked up and opened her mouth.

Qiao Yifan opened his mouth, but felt that his throat was dry and he couldn't say anything.

Not far in front of him, Shen Yuying stopped, turned around and looked at him, her eyes were helpless and desolate: "...what's wrong with my family?" Those eyes, always smiling, looked at him quietly, just like that until she was filled with tears of despair: "...Tell me, where did my dad go?"

Before Qiao Yifan could say another word, she suddenly ran and rushed towards her home.

In the darkness, she pushed open the door and stepped on a piece of broken glass: "Crack!"

"Be careful!" Qiao Yifan hurriedly pulled her away and turned on the light in the living room, but immediately he regretted this action.The living room was in a mess, the drawers of the TV cabinet, the chest of drawers, and the tea table were all pulled out and dumped on the floor, and paper and sundries were scattered all over the floor.The family portrait that was originally hanging on the wall was broken into several pieces with photo frames, and Shen Yuying stepped on it.On the photo wall in the corridor, every photo has a bright smiling face of Wang Jiaojiao, who is about ten years old, but she has been burnt several times with cigarette butts, so she can no longer see her original appearance.

With trembling lips, Shen Yuying touched the phone, wanting to call her father, but accidentally pressed the message button and the hands-free button. "I fuck you old bastard, Wang Jiaojiao, you fucking dare to blackmail me, I don't believe it..." A series of obscene words came out from the loudspeaker, it was the voice of her gentle father, who was both familiar and unfamiliar to her.

She crouched against the wall, weeping silently, the answering machine still playing every message it had stored.Qiao Yifan wanted to go over and turn it off, but she grabbed her and had no choice but to squat down and take out a tissue to wipe her tears.

"...you old woman just want my old Shen family to be extinct. I'm the eighteenth generation of your Wang family. Why can't I recognize my own son? Get the fuck out of you..." "...I leave the house without leaving the house , you f*ck signed it for me, I don’t want anything, I just want a son..." "... Bitch, bastard, I knew you had a conspiracy to divorce me, and you didn't give me a penny Me, you must have raised a man behind my back, Wang Jiaojiao, let me tell you that I will never end with you..." "...X you want a divorce, right? You even sent a lawyer's letter. I won't leave, I just want to drag you to death... ..." "...I fuck you bitch, where is the house? You told the bank not to give me the loan, right? Well, I'm going to die together. I'll kill you old bastard with a car first, and then take the knife Hack your whole family surnamed Wang to death..."

"That's enough...don't listen anymore..." He couldn't listen anymore, and reached out to cover her ears.His palm was warm and dry, tightly covering her ears that were first chilled by the wind, and then hot from crying, blocking those terrible words from the outside.

"Woo—" Shen Yuying held her head in pain and sobbed.

despair!bang!

He tore the phone off and threw it on the ground.He knelt down on one knee, reached out and hugged her into his arms, pressing his cheek against her ear: "Don't cry...don't worry about him, he doesn't deserve to be your father...shh, don't cry..."

Shen Yuying covered her eyes with her hands and inhaled desperately, for fear that if she relaxed a little, crying would overflow from her throat.This person is not her father, absolutely not, not... She suddenly wiped her face roughly with her sleeve, fearing that every tear she shed would become evidence of her weakness.

At this moment, she swore that she would never shed a single tear for the man she called Dad.

The tears stopped, but she hiccupped and hiccupped, she couldn't stop, she could only cover her face with her sleeve in embarrassment, and looked at the ground.Qiao Yifan slowly let go of his embrace, and looked at her quietly, his eyes flickered with a light that she couldn't understand.

Then, his kiss fell on her lips, tender and firm.

She widened her eyes, looking at his tightly closed eyes, slightly trembling eyelashes, and the roots of his ears that were red from nervousness.Another tear rolled down from the corner of her eye, this time, she was no longer crying because of betrayal.Her lips trembled slightly as he held them gently.The warm and moist breath fell on her cheeks, adding a blush to her pale face.

She didn't push him away, even though she couldn't tell exactly what she thought about Qiao Yifan.Is it a brother, a friend, or...?

"...I won't be like him, never will. You must wait for me, wait for me to become an adult like you, wait for me to win the championship..."

The author has something to say: half my life is exhausted from moving, not to mention drinking every day...

This week is still very busy, and I am still short for the time being. I will use the extra time to make up for the lack of updates, and make up slowly (づ￣3￣)づ╭～

☆, end chapter

"——slow down, turn to——turn left at the intersection ahead, hey, look at the car——"

Shen Yuying sat sideways on the back seat of the electric car, with one hand holding Qiao Yifan's waist, and the other hand carefully holding down the skirt, lest the wind would let the spring light escape.

"Okay, I'll watch." Qiao Yifan held the handlebar firmly, but he couldn't restrain his peripheral vision from falling on the upturned, jade-white feet in the rearview mirror.

The sun at two o'clock in the afternoon made both of them sweat profusely. Apart from their little eDonkey, the only thing they could see on the spacious road in the suburbs was a big truck roaring past with dust from time to time.Shen Yuying took out the tissue and pressed away the sweat dripping from the back of his neck, feeling a little regretful in her heart.If it weren't for the quarrel with the family because of the two of them, they wouldn't have to go to such a trouble to buy a small apartment or a condominium in such a remote area.

After three years of graduation, Shen Yuying is still an ordinary civil servant, busy every day for the three or five buckets of rice every month.First, she was disturbed by the farce of the divorce of Wang Jiaojiao and his wife, and then she became obsessed with glory, and almost abandoned her studies. Her college career ended in a miserable green.Fortunately, after Xingxin won the championship, she gritted her teeth and passed the national exam, and was lucky enough to stay in this city, and accompany Qiao Yifan and their Xingxin comrades in the battle for glory.

Today's Qiao Yifan is already the captain of Xingxin, and he is no longer the little transparent person he was back then.In the first year after Ye Xiu retired, he stepped in and took orders. He finally kept Happy's place in the league during the season and did not make a joke of the championship team being directly relegated.After several years of ups and downs, Xingxin has already washed away the shadow of the grassroots team of the day, and has become a strong team that cannot be ignored in the league, and it is also a frequent visitor to the playoffs.

Five years is enough to change many people.For example, after Tang Rou won the league's most valuable player for three consecutive years, she retired bravely and ran to open a small cake shop. Occasionally, when the mood came, she would bring freshly baked chiffon cakes back to the team to share with the new players. two.For example, Su Mucheng, who was always in the center of sight wherever he went, and Mo Fan, who couldn't be found in the crowd, unexpectedly became a couple, which caught the eye of many people.What's even more surprising is that Su Mucheng only took a one-year hiatus after getting married, and returned to the glory arena after giving birth to her daughter, Xiao Tiancheng.But Mo Fan, who was born with an iceberg face, is a good hand at housework, taking care of Xiaotiancheng's mother and daughter so well that even the proprietress, who is most aggrieved by this, can't find a thorn in her side.

But some things seem to never change.For example, Luo Ji went to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology after graduation, and he was about to become a Ph.D., and he still went online every day to do daily battles.Baozi and Old Wei are blah blah blah every day in the team, and they have been responsible for providing jokes for the team for five years.An Wenyi has already turned into a manager. While assisting the single, beautiful and irascible proprietress to run the team, he quietly obtained a college diploma and a lawyer's card. He is planning to further develop his business and strive to push Xingxin to a higher level. development platform.

After watching the future new house that was still in full swing, Shen Yuying sat on the small electric donkey contentedly, and directed Qiao Yifan to take a shortcut back from the nearby villa area.It is obviously the same real estate, over there are densely packed [-]-storey economical small apartments, but here is a deep courtyard, a single family, and even the passing cleaners are dressed like five-star hotel waiters, bowing their heads and smiling. Every passing car gives way.At first, Shen Yuying was looking around with great interest, but she gradually became less talkative, she put her arms around Qiao Yifan's waist sullenly, and put her face on his back.

"I will buy you such a big house in the future, with a swimming pool, a terrace, and two dogs." Qiao Yifan suddenly freed up a hand, took her hands around his waist, and solemnly promised.

Shen Yuying pinched his waist, but the corners of her mouth unconsciously hung into a smile: "Wipe me again, and ride a good bike!" After witnessing the betrayal of her biological father, and then discovering that the illegitimate child is not her own kind, she returned to the family like a farce , She once hated all the male creatures in this world, but she never lost confidence in him.The little brave man who has silently guarded her for more than ten years will never let her down, he will definitely do what he says.The mother and aunt who had been determined to join hands to separate them were also defeated by his perseverance, his perseverance, and his consistency, and agreed to their marriage.

In the past five years, it's not that no one wants to get involved in their love. Whether it's an all-star player in a professional league or an unknown outsider, or a female civil servant who graduated from a key college or a jobless person who graduated from a junior high school, this combination will always make many people feel happy. People who don't know them think it's wrong.There were well-meaning schoolgirls and colleagues who actively introduced her boyfriends, and there were also fanatical female fans who made threatening phone calls to her. Shen Yuying accepted the good and the bad with a smile, and wholeheartedly guarded Yifan to live her little life.

For the infinite affection you gave me, all I can repay is a piece of sincerity, to stay together for the rest of my life.

I wish that every year, day and night, I will share it with you.
