fleeting story

After Jin Cheng finished speaking, Zhou Luo and Yan Qi were stunned.

"Dad!" Jin Yan kicked Jin Cheng's leg with a slipper: "What are you talking about?"

"Yan'er, Dad is just such a precious girl like you, and Xiao Luo is also the child I have looked at the most for so many years. Is there anything wrong with me being nice to him?" Jin Cheng said to Jin Yan, then turned his head to look at Zhou Luo : "For an old man like me to say such a thing, it shows that you really have this strength."

"Uncle Jin, I..." Zhou Luo didn't know what to say for a while, his eyebrows were furrowed, everyone could see his embarrassment, only Jin Cheng thought he was embarrassed.

"I didn't put pressure on you, let Yan'er do something with you first, and everything will be smooth in the future." After Jin Cheng finished speaking, he wanted to clink glasses again. At this time, Yan Qi picked up the half-filled red wine glass and touched Jin Cheng , drank more than half down.

"My brother is stuck by me. When I graduate and go to university, he will be able to relax." After Yan Qi finished speaking, he clinked glasses with Fang Lan and Jin Yan respectively: "My brother is too kind. Don't worry about me being alone."

"Xiao Luo has been like this since he was a child. With Zhou Xun, he can endure all kinds of hardships. He never complains alone, and always thinks of others." Fang Lan said while recalling: "When I was young, I always said, 'I will do my best for my grandparents in the future. Filial piety', 'I want to provide for my uncle' and so on, other people know how to eat, drink and have fun when they are young, but he is good and has planned everything for the future. Others are happy when they hear it, but I feel distressed when I hear it."

Zhou Luo smiled embarrassedly, but the smile was a little stiff.

"That's why I said that after so many years, I also have a crush on Xiao Luo." Jin Cheng thumped his back: "Okay, isn't Xiao Luo still going to see grandma and Zhou Xun? Hurry up."

This meal was really tiring, but fortunately it was about to end, Zhou Luo finally relaxed his tense heart: "Next time I will come to see you with my uncle."

"You can come here often." Jin Cheng waved his hand at him: "I see that guy Zhou Xun every week, he either asks me out to play golf or drinks with me, his face annoys me very much. "

Zhou Luo could tell that this was a joke between two old friends, so he didn't say anything more. When he turned his head to look at Yan Qi, he found that he had been staring at the TV with his eyes blank, as if he hadn't listened to anything. .

Jin Yan sent them to the door, hesitated for a moment, and said a little shyly: "Don't take my father's words to heart."

"I didn't take it to heart." Zhou Luo looked at Jin Yan: "I told you very clearly, didn't you explain what I mean to Uncle Jin?"

"But you always want to get married and have a family. No matter how late, I'll just wait for you." Jin Yan seemed to be much bolder than at the publishing house, probably because her own home was behind her, and Jin Cheng's words made her feel at ease , simply spit out all the words in his heart, and no longer shy away from anything, as if he was bound to win.

"Jin Yan." Zhou Luo looked at her: "You are a good girl, thank your father for your kindness for me at the right time."

Jin Yan was a little anxious, she wanted to say something more, but couldn't find the right words for a while, so she glanced at Yan Qi anxiously, but this time Yan Qi looked at her with a smile.

"Sister Jin Yan, do you like my brother?" Yan Qi asked.

Zhou Luo looked at him in surprise, not knowing what he wanted to do, so he didn't say a word for a long time.

"Hi..." Jin Yan bit her lips: "I like it, but your brother doesn't like me."

"Then why do you still like him?" Yan Qi continued to ask.

Fortunately, Tong Yanwuji, Jin Yan would feel ashamed if she were an adult, but it was Yan Qi who was asking the question, Zhou Luo's younger brother, and this child seemed to be helping her express his feelings, It gave Jin Yan a beautiful illusion: "I might be more specific."

Yan Qi didn't say any more, he lowered his head, kicked away the stones at his feet, and when he raised his face again, he was smiling: "Thank you sister Jin Yan for your hospitality today, let's go first, see you next year."

There was still the drum set in the car, but Yan Qi didn't beat the beat, as if the sound didn't reach his ears.

In the end, it was still a noise, Zhou Luo turned off the music in a depressed mood, and skillfully took out a cigarette from the cigarette case. When he pressed the lighter, he found that Yan Qi was looking at him, so he had no choice but to put the cigarette back into the case. Reluctantly smiled at him.

"It's because of me." Yan Qi looked out of the window again: "It's because of me that I don't plan to get married."

"It has nothing to do with you. I have no intention of doing this with you or without you." Zhou Luo said.

"Without me, your thoughts will change." Yan Qi's voice was very soft: "With me, because you are too kind, you will put pressure on yourself."

"You are not my pressure." Zhou Luo sighed inaudibly: "I will be much happier with you."

Yan Qi said after a while: "Brother, Jin Yan likes you so much, why are you so unfriendly to her?"

"Yan Qi." Zhou Luo stopped him in a deep voice: "I'm a human being, I have my own thoughts, and I know better what I want. I'm kind to her, that's hypocrisy."

Yan Qi didn't answer, but just stared out of the window in a daze.

"Go to sleep." Zhou Luo raised his hand and rubbed his hair: "I'll call you later."

Grandma didn't seem to have changed from the previous few years, and her body was already strong. When she saw Yan Qi, she still gave a big red envelope first. Yan Qi accepted it happily this time, and bowed to grandma.

Zhou Hao and Sun Jing were a little embarrassed when they saw Yan Qi, and the incident of tearing up the house book was still fresh in their memory, their eyes always dodged, but Yan Qi didn't care much, and called uncle and aunt very politely.

Zhou Hao was already a little guilty, so he didn't care about Yan Qi calling him uncle instead of father.

After all, he has never called Dad since he was adopted.

A pair of twins are very fleshy, the little one has been sticking to Zhou Xun and will not let go, Zhou Xun has no choice but to throw one of them to Zhou Luo, Zhou Luo is also at a loss and does not know how to deal with the annoying Little trouble, immediately asked grandma for help.

"Come here, big fat, grandma." Grandma put the little guy on her shoulders: "Have you eaten yet? I'm going to make hot dumplings."

"After eating, I'll come and see you and leave." Zhou Luo said.

"Where did you eat it?" Grandma asked, patting the little guy's chubby back.

Zhou Luo just wanted to say that he came over after eating at home, but Yan Qi picked it up: "Go to Uncle Jin's house."

"That old guy in Jincheng didn't make things difficult for Zhou Luo, did he?" Zhou Xun asked with a smile on his back.

"Hey hey." Zhou Hao asked while holding the vegetable seedlings: "Xiao Luo, how is the matter with you and Jin Yan?"

"What's the matter with Jin Yan and me?" Zhou Luo looked at him impatiently.

"Don't inquire about it." Zhou Xun glared at his elder brother: "What does it have to do with you?"

"Why doesn't it have anything to do with me." Zhou Hao laughed "hehe" twice: "Our little Luo is blessed, the one who likes him is a lady from a famous family, if he marries a good wife, I won't be honored."

"Is there any dumpling soup?" Zhou Luo frowned and asked, "I'll have two sips."

Taking advantage of the time spent drinking dumpling soup, Zhou Luo hid in the kitchen, blocked the voices chattering about him in the living room, and blew on the hot air floating up from the bowl.

"Has Jincheng put pressure on you?" Zhou Xun asked as he entered the kitchen and stood beside him.

"You even told me to take over Jinlan in the future." Zhou Luo sat on the small bench and sighed: "Why don't you tell him clearly at ordinary times."

"I've said it more than 800 times." Zhou Xun lowered his head and looked at Zhou Luo: "If you don't want to find a partner to make him give up, he will have to keep staring at you."

"Tell him, I'll be like my uncle and be a bachelor for the rest of my life." Zhou Luo laughed after saying this.

"Good boy, if you don't learn all the advantages of your uncle, you just can't learn well." Zhou Xun also smiled and punched him on the shoulder.

Zhou Luo took a sip of the soup before asking, "Uncle, let me ask you, why don't you get married?"

Zhou Xun still didn't stop laughing, and squeezed his shoulder: "It's probably because your father entrusted you to me before he died, which made me feel like a parent, so it doesn't matter if you get married or not." gone."

"Don't use me as an excuse." After Zhou Luo said this, he suddenly felt that this kind of conversation seemed familiar. As soon as this thought popped up in his heart, he immediately thought of Yan Qi, and immediately sighed: "Uncle, I think, I I owe you a 'Dad'."

"Stinky boy! How dare you scream!" Zhou Xun patted him on the back twice, so hard that he almost choked on him: "Be careful, I will cry for you!"

"As for it." Zhou Luo rolled his eyes at him, but still happily drank the remaining half bowl of soup.

Zhou Xun went back to the living room and chatted and laughed with everyone, Zhou Luo filled the soup bowl again, neutralized the hot and cold, the temperature in his stomach was just right, he called Yan Qi, signaling him to come over.

"You didn't eat much just now, let me cook some dumplings for you?" Zhou Luo handed the soup to Yan Qi.

"I won't eat here. I'll make dinner when you get hungry when you get home." Yan Qi took the dumpling soup, finished it in one mouthful, and his face looked much rosier.

"Another year older." Zhou Luo cleaned the bowl and wiped his hands: "Fifteen years old or sixteen?"

"Sixteen." Yan Qi rubbed his nose, "I want to grow up quickly."

The two of them didn't stay for long, and rushed back home before meal time.

As soon as Zhou Luo entered the door, he felt exhausted all over. He hanged up his coat twice in a daze before he hung it up. He rubbed his brows and eyes that were a little sour, and threw his whole body on the sofa, fell asleep on it not long after.

After Yan Qi put the dumplings in the pot, he picked up Zhou Luo's coat hanging on the hanger at the door and put it on him tightly, turned on the TV, turned down the volume, and dialed it to the central station.

The hot dumplings kept tumbling in the pot. Yan Qi added cold water three times, boiled it for a few minutes, turned off the fire, and waited a while before taking out the dumplings and putting them on a plate. Put a little vinegar and soy sauce in a small bowl And ginger and garlic powder, take it to the coffee table and arrange it.

Zhou Luo's chest rose and fell regularly, he tilted his head, buried his face in the back of the sofa, and hid himself in the shadows.Yan Qi turned off the light in the living room, and the room suddenly became dark. Only the faint light from the TV screen shone on Zhou Luo. The heat from the dumplings made the whole room warm. Yan Qi stared at Zhou Luo's side. face, walked up to him and knelt down in front of him, and raised his hand to touch the bridge of his nose.

"Brother." Yan Qi called out.

Zhou Luo didn't respond, his breathing was still regular and neat.

"Brother, get up and eat dumplings." Yan Qi said.

Zhou Luo moved his eyelids, but still did not open them.

Yan Qizai carefully looked at the face of the person in front of him. After looking for a long time, he still felt that he couldn't see enough, but his heartbeat became more and more manic along with his gaze.

He straightened up, moved his face to Zhou Luo's, and called him softly again.

After seeing that Zhou Luo still didn't respond, Yan Qi emboldened, lowered his head, and kissed Zhou Luo's face.

Zhou Luo felt some movement in front of him, and he struggled for a while before he came to his senses, but he couldn't hold back the exhaustion that swept over his head, so he hugged Yan Qi's head without thinking much.

"Brother, I still want to be the same as before. Can you hug me and sleep for a while?" Yan Qi buried his head in his arms and asked softly.

"En." Zhou Luo replied wearily: "Come up."

Yan Qi took off his slippers, first knelt on the sofa with one leg, chose a more comfortable angle and posture, and lay on Zhou Luo's body.

"You're not a child anymore." Zhou Luo rubbed Yan Qi's hair lying on his chest and said, "I can't sleep like this, it's almost crushing me to death."

"You're an older brother, bear with me for a while." Yan Qi wrapped his arms around Zhou Luo's neck and put his arms around his shoulders.

The host's loud announcement sounded, and the Spring Festival Gala began. The light on the screen cast the figures of two people sleeping on the sofa on the white wall behind them. The dumplings on the plate had long since lost heat, but the temperature in the room But it never went down.
