The Disaster of Shyness

After sending Liang Xi and the others off, Hua Yu took Lin Fan to the Canal Square.

"The scenery here is nice. I'll take you to the teahouse first. This teahouse is open every day. The stories told by the storyteller inside are very interesting."

Lin Fan followed Huayu all the way into the "Ruyi Teahouse", but there were quite a few customers inside, and the business here is really good.

"The two guest officers please."

Lin Fan took a closer look, and saw a waiter dressed in an ancient costume approaching not far in front of him, who looked like he was waving a cloth towel and came over to lead them to an empty seat.

"What kind of snacks do you want, guest officer?" The waiter said with a smile, "Crispy broad beans, alcoholic peanuts, spiced melon seeds, jasmine tea..."

"A plate of broad beans and melon seeds." Hua Yu said.

"Okay! Wait a moment to be objective."

Seeing the waiter walking away, Lin Fan also looked at the other seats, and sure enough, all of them were these snacks, and the waiters were all dressed in ancient costumes like the waiter.

"This store is very interesting."

Hearing what Lin Fan said, Hua Yu pointed him to the small stage in the center, "The storyteller is sitting over there, and the stories he tells are very interesting. Daddy always brought me here to listen to stories when I was young."

Lin Fan responded.Looking at the decoration in the store, you can tell that this store should be an old store.

"Snapped!"

"Xingmu makes a long sound, and the show is about to begin again!"

A middle-aged man in common clothes sat at the table stroking his long beard growing on his chin, his eyes bright.

The crowd immediately applauded.

"Just wait, everyone. I wish you all a happy new year on the first day of the new year. I wish you all the best in the new year! Today I will tell you the ins and outs of the word 'canal'."

It is said that in the late years, this canal was just an ordinary lake, and beside the lake was the famous Merry Street, where dignitaries and dignitaries liked to linger, and many real celebrities would come here here.

What they admire most is the most famous geisha in Merry Street, named Xiaohe.Xiaohe is proficient in everything from piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and prefers to arrange operas, or mock and sing the praises of court figures, or interpret the poignant love of ordinary people in the market.This person is always covered with a veil and heavy eye makeup when appearing on the stage. No guest knows Xiao He's true face, only the old bustard said that Xiao He has the most beautiful face in the world, and he can be charming with a smile.

What you can't ask for is always good, and Xiaohe has become the most famous geisha with her sense of mystery and talent, and everyone wants to take this person as their own.

But no one knows that Xiaohe has already met a person he admires in this romantic place, and this person is the mighty general.The two want to stay together for a lifetime regardless of secular prejudice.It's a pity that the general had just redeemed Xiaohe, and before the dowry was delivered, news of the enemy's invasion came from the front line, so he could only exchange tokens of love with Xiaohe and left.

Xiaohe was worried and worried every day, and soon became seriously ill. The news came from the front that the enemy would attack the imperial capital after victory. , not even a whole body.

That night, there was a rare blizzard, Xiaohe staggered forward in the snow with only his single clothes and bare feet, holding a jade pendant in his hand, and muttering: "I know you came to pick me up, I I know you've come to pick me up..."

Every time he opened his mouth, the blood from the corner of his mouth would drip onto the skirt of his clothes, soaking into the snow, which was gorgeous and poignant.

It snowed for three days and three nights, and almost buried all the houses and buildings by the lake. The last person who saw the small box said: That man was standing by the lake, talking to himself magically. Jumped into the lake.

Canals, Yunhe, people also entrust a kind of yearning for love, hoping that Xiaohe will have a happy ending, and the soul can meet the general at Naihe Bridge.

Hua Yu tilted his head and asked Lin Fan, "After listening to the story, what do you think?"

Lin Fan shook his head, threw the broad beans into his mouth, chewed them thoroughly before opening his mouth slowly. "Obviously knowing it's false, but still willing to believe it, are people stupid or smart?"

"Of course not as smart as you." Hua Yu smiled, pulled him up and pointed out, "Come on, there is also the Canal Museum over there, but I don't know if the door is open."

Lin Fan walked with him to the door and pulled him to turn around and said, "I don't want to go, let's bask in the sun by the river."

Of course Hua Yu agreed, so the two sat down on the wooden chair by the river.

The sun is very warm, and the wind by the river is not strong. Occasionally, the drooping branches will sway slightly due to the wind, but it will not make people feel that they have let down the good spring.

Lin Fan leaned against the back of the chair and squinted his eyes slightly, feeling sleepy after a while, "I woke up too early in the morning."

Hua Yu smiled slightly and lent him his shoulder.

"Take a nap when you're tired."

"En." Lin Fan didn't refuse, but his face was a little unnatural. Fortunately, he didn't have to see Hua Yu's shy look when he closed his eyes.

You are obviously generous when you are not together, why are you cautious when you are together?

He sighed uncontrollably in his heart, and then rested his head on Hua Yu's shoulder with confidence.

Just enjoying it, Huayu's muffled voice came from his shoulder: "Xiaofan, people say that young couples are old companions. Do you think we will often sit by the river like this when we are old?"

Lin Fan sneered, "Idiot, is the sunset red?"

Hua Yu also chuckled, humming, and sang the tune of sunset red.

Lin Fan's heart moved slightly, his eyes narrowed and the corners of his mouth curved into a smile.

Hua Yu saw his smile and felt that happiness was bubbling in his heart.

After humming a song, Hua Yu couldn't help rubbing Lin Fan's hand, feeling that his fingers were slightly cold, so he wrapped his hand in his big one.

Lin Fan opened his eyes and looked at him against the light, "Can't you be quiet?"

"Wake you up?"

"Touch this and that, how do you think I'm going to sleep?" Lin Fan glared at him.

Hua Yu didn't withdraw his hand, he simply took Lin Fan's hand and put it into his pocket, and said with a smirk, "I'm afraid you're cold."

Lin Fan paused for a while before replying indistinctly, stretching out his leg and kicking a stone flying under his feet.

Putting it in his pocket, Hua Yu opened Lin Fan's fingers and interlocked with him.

"I'm so glad you're going home with me this year for the New Year, and you're...with me."

Lin Fan was taken aback for a moment, tightened his mind, turned his head and asked, "Are you so happy that I'm with you?"

"Of course! Especially when you say you like me." Hua Yu said eagerly, and grabbed Lin Fan's hand tightly, "Xiao Fan, you don't know how much I want you to be with me, every day I open my eyes Just seeing you is my happiest thing.”

Lin Fan was embarrassed, and the scene where he confessed to Hua Yu as if he was possessed by a demon flashed through his mind.

"Shut up. Why don't you feel ashamed?"

Hua Yu looked at him fearlessly, and asked, "Isn't it like this when you're in love?"

The corner of Lin Fan's mouth twitched, he stared at the rippling river in front of him and didn't speak.

It was a strange feeling that his status changed from friend to lover all of a sudden, and he didn't know where the boundary line was.

"Aren't you used to it?" Hua Yu took out his clasped hand with Lin Fan from his pocket and shook it in front of Lin Fan.

Lin Fan looked at the two hands entangled together, stared and said nothing.

"Actually... I'm not that used to it either." Hua Yu grinned, "But lovers need to be closer. I like to hold you like this."

Looking at Hua Yu's persistent eyes, Lin Fan sighed and gave a faint "hmm".

Any relationship must be used to enjoy before it dries up.

The two sat by the river for an hour, and their buttocks were almost stiff.

Lin Fan got up and pulled Hua Yu up, "Go back, it's an idiot to bask in the sun by the river during the New Year's Eve."

Hua Yu held his hand and smiled: "No one bothers you, I think it's fine."

Lin Fan snorted, and withdrew his hand, just as he stuffed it into his pocket, Hua Yu's hand rested on his shoulder.

"Why are you so sticky?"

"Isn't that what love is all about?"

Lin Fan gritted his teeth and stared at him, thinking silently: Get used to it, just get used to it.

When the two returned home, Hua Yu also received a message from Liang Xi and the others, saying that Ah Qing had already boarded the plane and asked him to take good care of Lin Fan at home.

"What do you want to eat? I'll make lunch." Hua Yu rolled up his sleeves after hanging up the phone.

Lin Fan leaned his head on the sofa and stared blankly at Hua Yu, his fingers kept rubbing the phone in his pocket.

"What do you want to eat?" Hua Yu asked Lin Fan again.

"Ok?"

"Ask you what to eat, why are you in a daze?" Hua Yu looked at Lin Fan curiously, with a smile on his lips, thinking that his dazed appearance was quite silly.

"Whatever." Lin Fan waved his hand.

Hua Yu responded and asked, "Is it okay to have meat in a pot, spring rolls, chicken wings with egg yolk, scrambled eggs with tomato, and beef soup?"

"It will be all right."

Seeing Hua Yu walk a few steps, Lin Fan couldn't help but want to rely on him, and called out, "Hua Yu."

"Well, what's the matter? What else do you want to eat?"

"No!" With his fingers pinching the flesh of his palm, Lin Fan seemed unable to speak, "If you had a homeless brother who was half-brother with you, would you take him in?"

Hua Yu didn't understand why Lin Fan would ask such a question, but out of humanitarianism, he felt that his answer was yes.

"Yes, why do you ask?"

Lin Fan paused for a few seconds, gritted his teeth and frowned, and said, "I really hate having a younger brother."

"do you have?"

Lin Fan's heart trembled, he clenched his fist and raised it to his mouth to hide his embarrassment, "Hey, let's rent a house after we go back?"

Thinking of Lin Fan's unfriendly roommate, Hua Yu immediately nodded, "Okay."

"How about three bedrooms and one living room?"

"Three bedrooms, why?" Hua Yu walked back to Lin Fan.

Lin Fan hesitated, and said in a daze, "The two rooms and one living room are also fine."

"You want to sleep separately from me?" Hua Yu couldn't help but raise his voice, obviously thinking that this arrangement was not good at all.

Looking at Hua Yu's tense face in front of him with raised eyebrows, the corners of Lin Fan's eyes twitched, and he asked angrily, "Can't you?"

"No, that's not the way to fall in love."

"That's enough, where do you get all your rules about dating?" Lin Fan was annoyed.

"My dad said it."

Pausing for a few seconds, Lin Fan rolled his eyes in his heart. Anyway, he knew that Huayu was a person who accepted death, so he simply didn't respond to his topic.

"……I'm hungry."

"Okay, I'll cook." Hua Yu got up, then bent down, put his hands on both sides of Lin Fan's head, and asked cautiously, "Can we sleep in separate rooms?"

Trapped in Hua Yu's siege, Lin Fan raised his eyebrows when he felt the burning eyes, "What conditions are you talking to me about? Go and cook."

He hoped that Lin Fan would agree not to divide the room, but Hua Yu obviously felt that he had no chance of winning, so he could only stand up and leave with a sigh.

Lin Fan snorted with a smile, thinking Hua Yu was so stupid and cute.

But in a blink of an eye, his smile subsided again, and his face was frosty.

The half-brother... did not make a mistake, after all, Daddy and that woman passed away, so there is no need to throw the mistakes of the previous generation on the next generation.

I remembered that the lawyer on the phone said that Daddy's last words were to take care of his younger brother until he graduated from college, and he would receive 1/3 of the estate at that time.

Oh, who cares about his family property, he has a mother enough.

If it wasn't for this last wish, and that younger brother was admitted to S University, he wouldn't even give that younger brother a pitiful look.
