Two pots of water

Qin Zuo finished his morning class and went to the laboratory after lunch.

By the time he finished sorting out the data of the past few days and came out, it was already past ten o'clock in the evening.

"Are you hungry?" Kang Che rubbed his stomach after putting on his coat with him, "What do you want to eat?"

"Yeah." Tan Zui took out his phone to check the battery, and the two turned around and went to the back door of the school.

"Didn't you and your brother break up again?" Kang Che sized him up, "Did I not see you contacting today?"

"No." Tan Zui took out his phone again, and turned the vibration mode back to ringing, "Going to his mother's house."

"No wonder." Kang Che nodded with a smile, "I can't make trouble anymore. I don't even bother to appease you if there is another round."

Tan Zui smiled and touched Kang Che's shoulder.

Although he and Jiang Chu stopped fighting, he never stopped beating drums in his heart all day long.

Jiang Chu hasn't contacted him since he left at the hotel in the morning, and he doesn't know what's going on now.

Tan Zui clicked on WeChat again to check if there were any unread messages, resisting the urge to send something to Jiang Chu, turned the phone around twice and put it back in his pocket.

"I probably fell asleep after drinking too much." Kang Che still remembered the day that Tan Zui was waiting for Jiang Chu's call in his rented room.

At that time, half of the summer vacation was just over, and from summer to winter, half a year passed in a blink of an eye.

Tan Zui is not in the mood to lament the time with Kang Che at the moment.

After walking out of the school gate, he suddenly asked Kang Che, "What did you and your family say at that time?"

"Your brother is going to have a showdown with his mother?" Kang Che raised his eyebrows, and immediately made a good guess without needing to connect the context.

"Almost." Tan Chi took a cigarette with his head down.

Kang Che didn't speak, and kept looking at Tan Zui for a while with raised eyebrows, then he looked away and shook his head with a smile: "You two can fight it out."

It was Jiang Chu who really went all out.

Tan Zui put both hands in his pockets, rubbing the edge of the phone.

Although it was true that Jiang Chu had to talk to his mother on his own, he couldn't and wasn't suitable to accompany Jiang Chu to face it right now.

But imagining the various reactions that Jiang Chu's mother might have, Tan Zui couldn't help but feel anxious.

The key point is that his mother's reaction can't be imagined at all.

Qin Zui bit his cigarette holder, then glanced at Kang Che again.

He couldn't think of any good reaction from Jiang Chu's mother, but the worst outcome had already been around him for a year and a half.

"What are you looking at?" Kang Che also took a look at him, and said "tsk", "The rounding has already won, and you still look for a sense of approval from me, a loner, you are really not guilty."

Qin Zui was laughed at by him, so he turned into the barbecue restaurant where they often ate, found a table and sat down.

"First a catty of mutton skewers Fat Brother, the vegetarian skewers are the same as usual." Kang Che gestured to the boss and wiped his finger on the chair opposite, "Would you like a drink?"

"Don't drink. Just order your own." Tan Zui took out his phone and looked again, but there was no news from Jiang Chu.

"Let's talk, I haven't heard you mention it." He put his phone aside, and continued to learn from Kang Che on the topic just now on the street.

"What are you listening to?" Kang Che got up to get a bottle of heated grapefruit tea, "The matter between me and you is not even the same in nature, so it's not a comparison."

"Anything is fine." Tan Zui stared at the phone and leaned back on the chair, lit another cigarette, "Listen to what you can say."

"Is there anything else I can tell you?" Kang Che smiled.

How exactly did he and his family get into this situation, Kang Che couldn't sum up the cause and effect in one sentence.

But if he really wants to list the cause and effect, he doesn't have too complicated a process.

"At first, I went to my house to take a shower after playing golf one day, and messed around in the room after washing." Kang Che took a sip of grapefruit tea and got to the point. "My dad just saw it when he opened the door."

Tan was the most dazed, and subconsciously swept towards the lower half of Kang Che's area blocked by the edge of the table: "See you two connected together?"

Kutcher didn't understand at first.

After realizing what "connected" was, he leaned sideways on the back of the chair, crossed his arms to support his eyes, and laughed so hard that he couldn't hold it back.

Laughing until a plate of baked potato chips was served, he raised his eyebrows and looked at Tan Zui and asked, "Can't you understand the extent of 'nonsense'?"

"Yes." Tan knew that he was thinking deeply, and he lowered his eyelids and suppressed a smile, and nodded in cooperation, "You continue."

"I didn't continue much, so I was shocked. Then I laughed and brought it over, and my dad said something beautiful at that time." Kang Che picked up a bunch of potatoes and started to eat, "It's normal for us to have a quarrel. "

"At that time, it was the summer vacation of the second year of high school and the third year of high school. Later, after the college entrance examination, we were almost together. When I went home during the winter vacation, my parents saw the video on my computer. I told them, and then we quarreled and fought. If you don't understand the quarrel, just leave me alone. For a while." Kang Che put the empty sticks beside him, "That's it after that."

After such a whole paragraph, it takes a total of three slices of potato chips.

Just when the mutton skewers were brought up, Kang Che thanked the fat man, picked up the cumin bottle and began to sprinkle.

"What about him?" Qin Zui asked him.

"That's all he got." Kang Che continued succinctly.

"Who mentioned it?" Tan Zui asked again.

Kuncher dismissed the question.

Holding a handful of sticks, he sprinkled cumin on both sides with fluff, then raised his eyes and smiled at Tan Zui: "Guess."

Qin Zui looked at him without saying a word.

"Tan Zui, your brother is quite powerful." Kang Che grabbed a piece of paper to wipe his hands, and didn't say anything about himself.

"En." Tan Zui responded.

"Few people can do what he does." Concher said, "Few people can really make up their minds to do another thing that they may regret right now in order to 'don't let their future regrets' Son."

Tan Zui broke the sentence in his heart, and continued to look at Kang Che.

Kang Che didn't know what he was thinking, he obviously didn't drink, but there was a faint layer of trance in his eyes.

"Actually, there were several times in the middle, and I thought that the two of you just let it go." Kang Che reached out for his pocket, made an empty hole on the left side, and then went to the other side.

Qin Zui threw his cigarette case over.

"Thank you." Kang Che took out one and bit it.

"You can understand your brother's difficulty, but 'understanding' and 'empathy' are two different things." Kang Che and Tan Zui looked at each other, "You may not be able to really understand in your life, what exactly do you want from your brother? something."

"It's not your problem, and it doesn't involve right or wrong." Kang Che said, "Your family is like a hooker. It's amazing that you can be physically and mentally sound."

After a pause, he added: "You still have to go to a university."

The corner of Tan Zui's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help turning his neck away and smiling.

Kutcher also laughed.

The two laughed more nervously than when they were "connected together" just now.

"I'm really happy for you, really." Kang Che picked up a mutton skewer and continued to eat, his voice was silenced by laughter, "It's just a pity."

"It's not a pity." Tan Zui said, "He treats me as much as I treat him. Knowing this, I can understand everything."

Kang Che looked at him for a long time.

This time at the end, he threw the mutton skewers on the plate and scolded him with a smile: "I was just happy for you two from the bottom of my heart, and warned you not to make me sour."

Tan Zui smiled, and was about to give Kang Che a bad word, when an inexplicable intuition suddenly flashed in his heart, he turned his face and stared at the mobile phone on the table.

As soon as the screen lit up, Jiang Chu's call came in at that very second.

"Tan Zui." Jiang Chu drank, and called his name through the receiver, his voice hoarse and stuffy.

"Brother." Tan Zui's heart sank, and he quickly got up and went out while clutching his phone.

"Let's go to the beauty's house for the New Year this year." Jiang Chu's voice was very slow, as if melting ice, every word was warmer than the previous ones, and there was a more relaxed smile.

Qin Zui slammed the soles of his feet and stared fixedly at a street light in front of him.

Originally, he wanted to take a few steps forward, to go under the lamp to answer Jiang Chu's call, where there was light and quiet.

It doesn't seem to be necessary now.

"Brother, I'll take you there." Jiang Chu was so drunk that he couldn't hold back his laughter when he spoke to Tan Zui, and his thick nasal voice was stuffed so hard that his vocal cords were blocked, "I won't let you..."

He was so jammed that he couldn't make a sound.

Tan Zui heard Jiang Chu exhale and cough several times on the phone.

He was about to call "Brother", when he heard Jiang Chu's mother's voice, it seemed that she was next door, scolding Jiang Chu, saying that he was annoying, and told him to go to sleep quickly.

"Don't let the puppy just wait for me at home for the New Year." Jiang Chu was stunned for a while, smiled and sniffed, "Poor."
