Two pots of water

It's not prevarication. At that time, he and Tan Zuidong were chatting one sentence at a time. It was Tan Shuman's phone call that suddenly changed the topic.

Later, I never thought of asking about my birthday again.

After figuring out this layer of logic, Jiang Chu looked at the back of Tan Zuicai, and his first reaction was to laugh.

It's not the kind of laughter that you think is funny, as a joke, or you just feel like laughing.

From the bottom of my heart, I felt a surge of warm steam coming up, and if I didn't pay attention, the corners of my mouth could no longer control the kind of smile that arched upwards.

Who would be upset if someone forgot to mention the date of their birthday?

You have to really care about a person to be unhappy because of this kind of thing.

Jiang Chu felt a sense of comfort that none of his kindness to Tan Zui was in vain.

Even though he took care of Tan Zui, he didn't even think he could "repay" anything, but there is no one who would not like to be treated sincerely.

"My puppy." Jiang Chu walked over in two steps, grabbed Tan Zui's shoulder from behind, and said with a smile as if sighing.

"What did you say?" Tan Zui paused and turned to stare at him.

"My puppy." Jiang Chu repeated, and rubbed Tan Zui's arm vigorously, explaining to him that the last time we talked about birthdays, the topic was taken away by Tan Shuman, and he didn't hold back on purpose, Chen Linguo He must have found out about his birthday from Da Ben.

There are so many people in the supermarket, it's not easy for Jiang Chu to express his gratification and love for Tan Zui. If it was at home, he would directly make Tan Zui rub his head.

Tan Zui really felt that he was always unable to keep up with Jiang Chu's train of thought at some delicate moments.

Jiang Chu is probably the real straight guy logic, he has always been lacking in Tan Zui, and he was not even on guard.

Even if he knew that Tan Zui was gay, it was still a headache for Tan Zui to be in heat like a wild dog from time to time, and the orientation of "homosexuality" was never a concern for him.

He felt from the bottom of his heart that orientation was orientation, and it didn't affect their brother's relationship, nor did it affect his being the best for Tan.

So Jiang Chu's expressions and emotions towards him are the most intuitive and straightforward.

And it's these unguarded bluntness that can hit the point that makes Tan most excited every time.

Tan Zui let Jiang Chu rub his arms up and down, and stared at Jiang Chu for a long time before continuing to push the cart forward.

"Well, yours." He smiled and answered softly.

Crowded in the supermarket all afternoon, and returning home with big bags and small bags, Jiang Chu started to chatter from the very first night.

After eating with Qin Zui, he counted the things he bought for each family. After cleaning for a long time, he imitated his mother to clean the house the day before.

After packing was almost done, he received a call from Jiang Liantian, asking him and Tan Zui if they would go home for the New Year tomorrow.

This call is unnecessary.

When Jiang Chu picked it up, he sighed leisurely in his heart.

I really want to go home for the New Year, just like my mother, calling me early in the morning.

Jiang Chu and Jiang Liantian are father and son after all, so they have a clear understanding of each other's thoughts inside and outside the words.

From Jiang Liantian's personal point of view, he actually didn't want to sit at the same table with Tan Zui for the New Year's Eve dinner, the atmosphere was too weird.Such a big stepson who appeared out of nowhere had no relationship with him at all, and he didn't have a good meal when he sat back together, and he didn't want to make himself unhappy on New Year's Eve.

But from the stepfather's point of view, the first year Tan Zui came here, he didn't even spend the Spring Festival at his and Tan Shuman's house, that's not the case.

What's more, apart from Tan, he would still like to see his own son, Jiang Chu.

"Don't bother yourself, you two, and don't bother us." Jiang Chu didn't have to worry about Tan Shuman when talking to Jiang Liantian alone, and his attitude was much more straightforward.

"If she really wants to celebrate the New Year with her son, she doesn't have to wait until this year. It's just that Tan Zui is here this year, so you two have a sense of morality." Jiang Chu was "buzzing" pushing the vacuum cleaner, and Zhou Teng was on the vacuum box." Buzzing" squatting.

"You consider Tan Zui to be her own son, and she considers you to be Tan Zui's last father. They both want to make things look good, but they don't consider whether Tan Zui would like to have dinner with you." He continued.

"Nonsense." Jiang Liantian scolded him under his throat, "Only you can analyze, what's going on over there, buzzing."

"Okay, I'm talking nonsense." Jiang Chu smiled and turned off the vacuum cleaner, knocked out a cigarette and bit it, turned on the TV and found a random station.

"I must go to see you, after all, it's a new year. But let's eat the New Year's Eve dinner separately." He glanced at Tan Zui, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, then turned and went to the balcony, "It's the first day of junior high school, I will take Tan Zui there You don't need to prepare anything to receive the red envelope, we will leave after receiving the red envelope."

After hanging up the phone, he put away the vacuum cleaner, went to the kitchen and slapped Tan most on the buttocks: "Brother."

Tan's favorite dish soap almost slipped off a plate, and he said "hey".

"Tomorrow I have to go to my mother's place for a meal. I'll be back after lunch." After thinking about it, he was the one who discussed it with Tan, "How do you arrange lunch? Do you want to go to your mother's place?"

"No, I'll get you something to eat, you don't have to think about me." Tan Zui said.

"Okay." Jiang Chu nodded, dipped some dish soap and scraped on Tan Zui's nose, "Then I'll come back tomorrow afternoon, and we'll make dumplings together."

"Okay." Tan Zui turned his head towards Jiang Chu's face, rubbing all the detergent back.

"Hey, let's hold grudges for one day!" Jiang Chu slapped his buttocks again, wiped his face and went out of the kitchen, "I'm going to take a shower."

Jiang Chu was busy all night, and Tan Zui was also thinking about one thing, Jiang Chu's birthday.

He knew this birthday too impromptu, so he didn't prepare anything.

And probably out of the mentality of being "preempted" by Chen Linguo, he strangely didn't want to celebrate Jiang Chu's birthday.

Qin Zui reflected on himself.

His desire to "occupy" Jiang Chu in every aspect was a bit too strong.

I even want to be the first to know my birthday.

Halfway through the reflection, what turned around in his mind was Jiang Chu and Chen Linguo standing in front of the chocolate tower talking and laughing.

Putting aside selfishness, Qin knew in his heart that Chen Linguo was a pretty good girl.

Good-looking, good-natured, intelligent and emotionally intelligent, standing with Jiang Chu is not against harmony, even a good match.

If one day the two of them really become married, there will be absolutely no second-guessing about each other's relatives and friends.

If they really become...

Hearing the sound of the TV in the living room and the faint sound of water in the bathroom, Tan Zui opened the refrigerator and took a can of beer, leaning on the water table and taking two sips slowly.

Quite annoying.

Theoretically speaking, it will be a matter of time before Jiang Chu gets married and starts a family. Even if he doesn't seem interested in these things now, he will consider whether he is interested or not when he reaches his age.

If he doesn't think about it, his parents will definitely have to urge him to think about it.

Qin most didn't want three or two years to pass, he hadn't graduated from college, and he hadn't grown to the level he was satisfied with, Jiang Chu was already getting married.

If his "sister-in-law" was Chen Linguo, he could have imagined the two of them together.

I could imagine Chen Linguo yelling "Brother Chu" one after another, covering her mouth and laughing endlessly when Jiang Chu casually said a few words.

The phone buzzed twice in his pocket, Qin Qiang forced his thoughts back, took it out and looked at Lu Yao's WeChat.

Lu Yao: Happy Valentine's Day, Qin Zui!

Lu Yao: I also like you on the last day of this year, so hurry up and consider dating me!

Lu Yao: [Emoji package]

Followed by a string of emoticons.

Tan was the most helpless and wanted to laugh, so he went out and sat at the dining table with his mobile phone.

Lu Yao was insane all day long, her confession was like saying hello, she would say something every other day, she didn't feel uncomfortable being rejected, she just joked around every day like a meme.

The class was booing and joking at the beginning, but now it has achieved collective immunity.

He replied "Thank you, no more" to Lu Yao, and then he reacted suddenly while typing, and looked at the time, it was past twelve o'clock.

The calendar on the screen was updated to February [-]th, with a big "Valentine's Day" emblazoned underneath.

Jiang Chu's birthday.

Almost at the same time, Jiang Chu's mobile phone rang on the dining table, and a message banner popped up.

Tan Zui glanced at it, it was Chen Linguo.

Like Lu Yao, she posted a series of messages. Tan Zuiguang saw [emoji packs] popping up one by one, but she can guess that she must be wishing Jiang Chu a happy birthday.

Qin Zui knocked on the table twice with his mobile phone between his hands, and when he heard the sound of water in the bathroom stopped, he turned his hands over and turned Jiang Chu's mobile phone face down.

He still wants to be the first person to say happy birthday to Jiang Chu this year.

Even if nothing is prepared.

Jiang Chu had a pleasant bath, and when he opened the bathroom door, he was about to shake the water from his hair, but when the door opened, the living room was pitch black, and Tan Zui leaned against the door with his arms folded, scaring him back He leaned back hard, but he couldn't even scream, he choked in his throat and jumped up on the spot.

"Who are you scaring here?" He pulled a towel on Tan Zui's arm.

Tan Zui didn't speak or move, he raised a lighter in front of his face, and clicked a cluster of small tall flames.

"Blow." He said to Jiang Chu.

"Why?" Jiang Chu was stunned for a moment, but he reacted very quickly at the moment, quickly glanced at the time on the wall by the light in the bathroom, it was [-]:[-].

February NO.14 is here.

Jiang Chu let out a "fuck" laugh, and the feeling of heat in his heart at the supermarket in the afternoon reappeared, arching the corners of his mouth and lifting it up, so happy that he couldn't stop.

"Candle?" He also leaned against the wall, tilted his neck to look at the little flame, and then looked at Tan Zui through the small flame.

"Surprised?" Tan Zui curled his lips.

"It's a surprise." Jiang Chu was still happy.

"Hurry up and blow the surprise." Tan Zui "tsk", "burn your hands."

Jiang Chu quickly blew it off with a smile.

"Happy birthday, brother." Tan Zui looked at him and said.

"Ah." The corner of Jiang Chu's mouth was still smiling, and rubbed Tan Zui's thumb that had been holding down the lighter, "Thank you."

"Did you make a wish?" Qin asked seriously.

"What the hell, I was just wondering," Jiang Chu laughed sullenly again, "Who's two brothers can start their birthdays at the door of the bathroom like the two of us."

Tan Zui also laughed when he heard him say that, and with the right light, he lightly touched Jiang Chu's forehead with his forehead.
