Song Song

Lin Xiaosong's smile was drawn on his face when he saw the man coming in, he pursed his lips, and put down the cup in his hand.

Fatty Xu also saw Chu Yi, and looked quite surprised.

"Look who's on the sofa." Chen Jiaze came after him, with a smile on his lips, "Xiao Song happened to be here today to help."

To put it intimately, in fact, the two of them didn't know each other well enough to call each other by their nicknames, they just met each other a few times.

Chu Yi looked at Lin Xiaosong with indifference and coldness in his eyes. He always had such an attitude that he had nothing to do with himself.

Lin Xiaosong nodded as a greeting.

A few men who were chattering around just now came over and urged Chen Jiaze to introduce them, the atmosphere gradually pushed to the edge of ambiguity.

Chen Jiaze felt a little embarrassed, he put his arm around Chu Yi, lowered his head and said with a smile, "What are you introducing, I know what to ask."

One of them said: "Hey, keep it under wraps, it's already this time, why don't you hurry up and make a referral." Then he turned the conversation to Chu Yi, "Jia Ze always talks about you every day, and we are almost covered in calluses by him. gone."

"Oh?" Chu Yi narrowed his peripheral vision, held Chen Jiaze's arm with his backhand, and said inadvertently, "Why is he talking about me?"

"Well, you go back and ask him yourself."

"Aren't you bothered? Just catch me and ask, today is not my wedding."

He likes to attract sensuality. At this moment, Chen Jiaze only feels that there are thousands of cotton wool wrapped around his wrists, which are gentle and lingering. Even the strength of his clenched hands feels like a caress.

"Then when will you two get married?" the man continued.

Chen Jiaze tilted his head, raised his eyes slightly, and looked at Chu Yi with a smile: "You have to ask him about that."

Chu Yi is the kind of person who doesn't like to put his private affairs on the bright side. The more people watching the show, the more he finds it noisy, so he simply blocked everyone's mouth with one sentence: "Look at fate."

Chen Jiaze smiled awkwardly, a little at a loss.

In fact, the same question was put before men six years ago.

At that time, Lin Xiaosong didn't have such a group of anxious and booing friends. He single-handedly broke into that ancient topic bluntly and clumsily. One can imagine how tragic the ending was.

Speaking of which, this man himself has no heart.

Everyone had almost figured out Chu Yi's character, so they asked him to sit down and drink a cup of Hey tea first, and then go back later.

Chu Yi went to sit in the restaurant, moistened his throat simply, and glanced to another place intentionally or unintentionally, but there was no trace, and others couldn't see anything.

During the period, the groom's parents refilled him with tea, and he nodded and smiled at the old man, thanking him politely.

The others returned to the topic of meeting the bride, their eyebrows beaming, discussing how to catch the tricky inspections of the woman's relatives and friends when they broke in.

Chen Jiaze sat next to him, propped his head to look at Chu Yi, looking bored, and told the man about his work at work during the day, and about his mother's recent whim, tinkering with jade at home.

Chu Yi played with the lighter absently, and gave him a look: "Let's go?"

"Sit down for a while." Chen Jiaze looked at his watch, "It's not yet ten o'clock."

Thinking of the person, Chen Jiaze was full of energy: "Do you still remember my colleague Xiaoxia?"

Chu Yi replied perfunctorily: "I have no impression."

"It's the one who asked you to go to the hospital last time. Didn't his husband cheat on him? He was arrested just the day before yesterday. It seems to be because of embezzlement of public funds. Cheating, it will never end well."

Chu Yi probably sensed some hidden meaning, smiled boredly, made a slight mistake, and took a cigarette out of the cigarette case.

"I'm going to have a cigarette."

Chen Jiaze remained silent, annoyed that he was too impatient.

Lele sat on someone else's sofa with her feet hanging in the air watching cartoons. Lin Xiaosong rang the alarm for the little girl several times, telling her not to touch the sofa cushions with her feet.

Lele didn't care whether he was listening or not, but was engrossed in watching.

Passing by them, Chu Yi suddenly stopped, and said in a joking tone, "You can't stare at your phone like this at such a young age, it's easy to be short-sighted."

Lele pouted, she didn't seem to be so afraid of men now, she dared to look him in the eye: "I'm not looking at my phone, I'm watching cartoons."

Chu Yi chuckled, glanced at Lin Xiaosong inadvertently, and said nothing.

The light pollution in Beishi is serious, and the neon lights, billboards, and LED screens flicker brilliantly, forming a so-called "artificial daylight". Within the fifth ring road, the stars are almost invisible.

However, it is almost winter, and the cold air seems to have looted the city, and you can see the sky when you look up.

After about half a cigarette, Chu Yi heard someone in the living room ask, "How old is this kid?"

Lin Xiaosong replied sternly: "Four years old."

"Is it one year old? Then it's time for kindergarten."

"It hasn't been delivered yet."

"Have you ever taught ancient poetry?" Adults always have a strong attachment to dolls reciting poems. I don't know if it's because children's voices are immature, which makes people laugh and often makes the whole room laugh.

It's quite festive, and it goes well with today's day.

"Only one song." Lin Xiaosong patted his daughter's head, coaxingly, "Lele, read that big goose to uncle."

The little man was still shy of strangers in his bones, his eyes were wide open, and he said stupidly: "The goose goose goose, the neck is singing to the sky, the white hair floats in the green water, and the yellow palm touches the clear waves."

"It's Anthurium dialing Qingbo." Lin Xiaosong corrected his daughter.

"It's yellow palms, and the feet of big geese are yellow."

Everyone laughed.

Chu Yi twitched the corners of his mouth. Accompanied by a few slight coughs, he twisted his cigarette and walked over.

Condescending, deliberately amused: "Who told you that the feet of the big goose are yellow?"

Lele was not afraid of Chu Yi tonight, and fought against him: "My father said so."

"Oh——" Chu Yi's ending sound was drawn out, it was the kind of tone to coax a child.

Chen Jiaze came over in a timely manner, stretched out his hand to straighten Chu Yi's slightly wrinkled collar, raised his eyes and lowered them again, "Smoking less, he still has children here."

Chu Yi passed him and looked at Lin Xiaosong with a complicated expression.

"It's time for you to correct your problem." Chen Jiaze said again.

Chu Yi pulled out and said indifferently, "I can't change it."

"Is he the uncle who went to my house to eat watermelon last time?" Lele said suddenly.

Lin Xiaosong thumped, and it was too late to cover his mouth, the thing he was afraid of still came.

Fatty Xu noticed something strange, and quickly stuffed a small cake into the child's mouth: "Yes, I'm the uncle who ate watermelon at your house last time."

Chen Jiaze curled his lips: "Your daughter will definitely be smart in the future."

Lin Xiaosong understood him very well. If it were his former self, he would definitely have a fight with Chu Yi. Because of a little apology, he didn't dare to speak loudly: "She is as stupid as me."

"How come, I think you're quite smart." Chen Jiaze looked at him coldly, raising the corners of his eyes.

Lin Xiaosong lowered his head and stopped talking.

Fatty Xu didn't like Chen Jiaze very much at first glance, he couldn't explain why, maybe he thought this person was too fake.

"Songsong, come, try some of this." He grabbed a handful of pine nuts and gave them to Lin Xiaosong.

Lin Xiaosong silently received them in his hands, peeled them off and ate them one by one, always in that shady posture.

After resting for a while, time was almost enough, Fatty Xu said to the big guys: "It's getting late, let's go back."

The toolbox has been packed just now, and it can be carried away. Lin Xiaosong patted Lele's shoulder and said softly, "Hey, let's go home now."

Lele threw down the snacks sensibly and followed the adults.

Fatty Xu greeted the groom's family on behalf of the big guy, and there were some polite words on the left and right: "Happy newlyweds, we will go first, and if you have friends who need to decorate a new house after getting married, please introduce them to us."

The groom said: "Sure, you go slowly."

Lin Xiaosong bent over and wrapped his daughter in his coat, which covered her knees, like a little penguin.

Lele looked up at Chu Yi, and timidly called out, "Uncle."

Lin Xiaosong froze for a moment, then zipped up his daughter.

Chu Yi smiled at the little man, lowered his eyes: "I'm going home, is it cold?"

Lele froze, first shook his head, then nodded.

Chu Yi took off his coat and put another one on the child, "Children can't go to bed so late, go back with your father quickly."

Compared with the overly formal attitude among adults, the man's tone towards Lele is obviously much gentler.

Lin Xiaosong thought that it would be too troublesome to wash and return him in the future, so he refused, "She has enough clothes, so she doesn't need it."

The man's voice was indifferent: "It's just a piece of clothing, it doesn't matter if you don't return it."

Fatty Xu stretched out his arm to slap Lin Xiaosong, and said in a straightforward tone, "Doctor Chu put it on for the child, why are you giving way here?"

"Thank you." Lin Xiaosong whispered, and then led his daughter out of the house.

Walking out of the unit building, Lin Xiaosong also felt that it was a bit cold this year, it was quite late this year, and he should wear down jackets at this time of year.He rubbed his hands together and let out a sigh of relief.

Lele was wearing too many clothes, and when she walked, she was cumbersome.

"Father, I don't want to wear it anymore, I'm too hot." The little man yelled.

Lin Xiaosong helped her take off the outermost one, hesitated a little, and finally put it on his right arm.

"It's cold outside, put it on." Fatty Xu said.

Lin Xiaosong stood up, sniffing from the cold: "I'm fine, not very cold."

"It was meant for you to wear. You don't know who he is." Fatty Xu smiled loudly, and squeezed out two words between his teeth, "Mensao."

Lin Xiaosong stopped being pretentious, and put on a man's large coat. The clothes smelled of the fragrance of laundry detergent, which smelled solid.

The other three lived closer together, and went back together first. Lin Xiaosong and Fatty Xu made an appointment for a car, and the driver would be there in a while.

"What's the matter between you and Chu Yi?" Fatty Xu couldn't hold back, and finally asked.

Lin Xiaosong said truthfully: "He sent me home before and bought toys for my daughter."

"He already has a partner. From his posture, he might be getting married soon." Fatty Xu paused for a few seconds, "What are you talking about with him?"

Lin Xiaosong stopped walking, looked at Fatty Xu and said, "I didn't want to talk to him."

"It's fine if you don't talk about it, you are still young, you can't waste your youth on that kind of person."

What kind of person?

Fatty Xu didn’t say anything, but Lin Xiaosong knew it well—the kind of people who were different from his class, sober and realistic, and reminded him all the time that “the story of Cinderella doesn’t exist at all”.

"Fat brother, I understand."

These words fell into the boundless night like an eternal oath.

I was lucky today, and earned extra tips, Lin Xiaosong stopped thinking about what was there and what was not, and led his daughter to trot to the gate of the community.
