There is a war without gunpowder on the dinner table.

Of course, Li Yan's father was sitting in the main seat. On his right were Alex and Li Xi, leaving an empty seat for the eldest brother on the left, and Li Yan and Mai Mai sat behind the empty seat.

In fact, only Dad was talking to Alex, Li Xi was sulking alone, and Li Yan and Mai Mai seemed to be accompanying guests, echoing from time to time.

Li Xin could talk for hours on anyone he met, and now he started boasting again.Talk about how he once had a unique eye for a certain business opportunity, how influential he is in the political world, who he has and what kind of friendship is and so on.

Li Yan could recite these words.After he finished the old clichés, he started talking arty again.Said that he got acquainted with the four great calligraphers in the city a few days ago, and reported their names one by one, until Li Xi finally couldn't help interrupting him: "How can there be five of the four great masters? Which one is a counterfeit? "

Dad was taken aback: "..." He didn't need to think too much about what he said, and once he finished speaking, he couldn't remember how many people he talked about.

Li Xi rolled his eyes and said, "...senile dementia."

Dad wanted to get angry after being humiliated in public like this, but because he didn't take it for granted, he couldn't do it, so he could only glare at Li Xi.

Both Li Yan and Mai Mai looked away wisely, pretending not to hear, pretending that they did not exist.

In the silence, Alex had no choice but to cough, and said: "It's normal to have five of the four major names... Generally speaking, there are more than a dozen of the top 5 in the industry..."

Li Yan's father was very happy when he heard this, and his face immediately changed from anger to joy, and he said full of praise: "It's still Xiao Xu who has insight, yes, five of the four great masters are common sense!"

Alex echoed: "It's harder to know all five than just four."

Li Yan thought to himself what kind of nonsense this is, and what is the difference between saying such compliments and selling one's soul.But his dad obviously liked this, and he was even happier after hearing this, and he picked up the glass and wanted to toast with Alex.

His father drank a few small cups, the wine was hot, and he gradually became more emotional.

He patted Alex on the shoulder and said emotionally: "Xiao Xu, don't look at the outside writing that I am unreasonable and have a bad relationship with the children at home. It's all fake. We are all people who value family values... The three of them were raised by myself. I was afraid that my stepmother would treat them badly, so I never remarried... When I was young, I coaxed them to sleep. Who, Li Yan, he wetted the bed when he was six years old, or me Help him change his pants."

"..." Li Yan was caught off guard, "...Dad, what are you talking about? You're still eating!"

Maimai was delighted to hear it: "I'm fine, just keep talking."

Li Yan turned his head and booed him, motioning him to shut up, and said to his father: "If you talk about this at dinner, the guests won't be able to eat it anymore."

His father was talking about the excitement, and he was very upset when he heard it: "What's wrong with me talking about this, the family can talk about what's wrong, Xiao Xu, don't you want to hear it?"

Alex glanced at Li Yan, then at Li Yan's father, in a dilemma, and could only answer vaguely: "Anything is fine..."

Li Yan's father took it for granted that Alex was supporting him, and was very satisfied, so he continued to chatter.

Dinner can only continue to be difficult to eat.

After a while, when his dad said he was a little tired, Alex said he wanted to go to the bathroom and glanced at Li Yan.Li Yan reacted immediately and volunteered to take him there.

The bathroom has to be turned a little bit, at the end of the corridor, some distance from the dining room, so you can have some private conversations.

Li Yan led the way, and before he reached the bathroom, Alex asked, "Are you not angry?"

After all the calculations, the two of them finally spoke after the whole night.

Li Yan was taken aback: "Why should I be angry?"

Alex said: "... about my blind date with your sister."

"..." Li Yan said, "Why would I be angry? I think it's almost ashamed. Isn't my dad very embarrassing?"

"..." Alex said, "No, it's... pretty funny..."

No matter how you hear this, it sounds like you are against your will.Li Yan: "..."

Alex asked again: "Why are you still wetting the bed at the age of six?"

"..." Li Yan hurriedly defended, "I have no memory, my dad may have misremembered the person, it may be my sister, it should not be me." Regardless of whether the bedwetting matter is true or not, anyway, let's talk about it first.

Alex said: "It's unlikely to remember the wrong person."

Li Yan quickly explained: "My dad got married late, he is almost seventy years old, and he used to drink starfish soaked in wine from folk remedies. Those wines may have excessive heavy metals, and his memory is a bit problematic now..."

Alex thought it was very funny, and after he finished laughing, he asked in a low voice, "Did you watch the stage play by yourself last night?"

When he mentioned this matter, the loneliness of sitting alone next to the empty seat last night squeezed back into Li Yan's heart again.He nodded and hummed.

Alex asked: "Does it look good?"

As expected, he really wanted to watch that stage play, not simply wanted to be with himself.

Li Yan reminded himself not to be too sentimental and a little melancholy, but he couldn't help telling him with anger: "It's not good-looking, a person is not good-looking."

Alex said, "Then I'll go see it with you next week."

Li Yan nodded, and at the same time realized that those who did not leave the dining room would probably become suspicious.He never imagined that he could stay in his own bathroom and not want to leave, it was crazy.He and Alex looked at each other for a while, finally reason prevailed over emotion, he let go of his hand and turned to leave, but he didn't expect that as soon as he turned around, his knee slammed into the marble cabinet of the sink hard, causing him to grunt in pain and bend over. He bent down and hugged his knees.

Alex was startled: "Where did you hit? Are you all right?"

Li Yan was so painful that he couldn't speak, so he could only wave to him to show that he was fine, then pointed in the direction of the dining room, signaling that he should go back first.Then he limped back first. Fortunately, the people in the dining room didn't notice anything and didn't suspect anything.

Not long after Li Yan and Alex came back from the bathroom, the eldest brother came back.

After the eldest brother came back, Li Yan's business was even more absent at the dinner table.Dad happily introduced Alex to the eldest brother, and then the three of them had a long chat.

Li Yan observed for a while, and felt that the elder brother's mood should be okay, and he should not make trouble for himself tonight.So he felt a burst of relief, and finally he could eat with peace of mind.

So, it became a battle situation where three people were talking, Li Xi continued to sulk, and Li Yan and Mai Mai buried their heads in eating.

In front of Li Yan was a plate of small meatballs wrapped in a thick sauce. He picked one for himself, and when Mai Mai saw it, he shouted: "I want it too, I want it too, get some for me."

The plate of meatballs was round and slippery, and Maimai's chopsticks were not used well, so he would definitely not be able to pick them up, so Li Yan gave him a few.He saw that Li Xi who was sitting across from him was sulking and eating plain rice without any vegetables, so he picked some for her as well.When he finished clipping, he saw Alex looking at him, and asked, "Do you want it?" Alex nodded.So Li Yan also clipped one and wanted to give it to him.But not long after he picked it up, the big brother sitting on his right suddenly slapped him on the wrist, making his hand tremble, and the ball fell on the table with a clatter, and the sauce rolled everywhere.

Li Yan was stunned for a while: "...what are you doing?"

The eldest brother said: "I don't pay attention to hygiene."

"..." Li Yan said, "What's wrong with me picking up a dish for dinner at home..."

The eldest brother said: "It's okay to pick up vegetables at home, but he is a guest, how are you?"

It took Li Yan a while to whisper: "...I'm not sick."

The eldest brother said, "You still want to talk back, don't you?"

Li Yan didn't dare to say anything, so he could only take the plate in front of him, and told Alex, "You can pick it up yourself." The ball was still lying on the table, so he had to leave his seat and take out a few napkins to wipe it. .

The eldest brother saw him limping, so he asked him, "Why do you walk like this?"

Li Yan said, "I accidentally hit my knee just now."

The eldest brother immediately asked: "You are such an old man, can't you see the road?"

Li Yan's heart sank.He felt that his elder brother had started again, and started to target himself again.
