When I woke up, my son was older than me

In the silver-gray car, the sun shines on Ling Tingyun's face through the front glass window, and the fragmented peripheral vision kisses the tips of his hair. Xiao Sifan looks at the other party through the side window, and his direct sight is baked by the light. It's getting a little blurry.

"Get in the car." Ling Tingyun repeated.

Only then did Xiao Sifan open the car door with an "oh" and sat in. The co-pilot of the car didn't look like someone else had been in it before, it was brand new as if it had never been covered with any dust.Even the plastic film under the car seat was not removed. It seemed that the car was just bought this morning and it was used to carry people in the afternoon.

"Are you hungry?" Ling Tingyun asked when Xiao Sifan got into the car.

"Ah?" Xiao Sifan was in a daze and didn't quite understand the other party's meaning, even now he spent the whole process of getting in the car in a daze, "Brother Ling, we are..."

"go to eat."

The car drove towards the corner of the east gate of the school, passed an alley and stopped at a barbecue stall.This barbecue stand was Xiao Sifan's favorite place to go with Lu Hang back then. 18 years have passed, but the stalls of the barbecue stalls are still the same, even the location has not been moved.

At noon, Xiao Sifan just said that he would invite Xiao Yue to eat skewers, but he came first by himself.

"Brother Ling, shall we just eat this?"

Although barbecue is Xiao Sifan's favorite food, this kind of greasy food full of human fireworks seems not suitable for Ling Tingyun who is dressed in leather and leather shoes.Especially the aura that can only be matched by a high-end five-star hotel surrounded by the opponent, it doesn't look like he can sit here.

I thought that a kind reminder would make Ling Tingyun aware of this problem, but in the end, he saw that the other party moved out two wooden benches from the shop and put them in front of the table.

Xiao Sifan sat down hesitantly, and asked curiously: "Brother Ling has been here before?"

Ling Tingyun glanced at him and said, "I graduated from here before."

"Oh." Xiao Sifan understood, and said happily, "So it's an alumnus. I said, Brother Ling, how do you know that there is a barbecue stall in this place? It seems that Brother Ling used to come here often. How many years did Brother Ling graduate? ?”

He reckoned that Ling Tingyun graduated at about the same age as he should have graduated. Calculating the time, maybe they are not only alumni, but also alumni of the same class.This relationship is more familiar than before.

"02 years."

"Me too...I mean, I have an uncle who also graduated in 02."

"kindness."

Ling Tingyun responded, and started waving to greet the boss. With Xiao Sifan's face thankful that he didn't say anything, he pointed to several items on the barbecue stall and ordered one each.After ordering, I specifically asked one to be spicy and one not to be spicy.When the food came up, he put the non-spicy one in front of him, and handed the spicy one to Xiao Sifan.

It is a tradition for the Xiao family to be addicted to spicy food.

Even though the Xiao family all looked like they came from the Jiangnan water town, they are addicted to spicy food to the extreme. They usually put a few chili peppers in the fried dishes, and they like to add more chili powder on the skewers when they eat skewers.Every time I eat it, my mouth is on fire, but my heart is refreshed.

"How does Brother Ling know that I like spicy food?"

"Xiao Yue is like you."

Ling Tingyun lied, Xiao Yue's surname was Xiao, but he was stained with the blood of the Ling family.In his bones, he doesn't like spicy food like the simple Xiao family, but like the Ling family, he can't eat spicy food.A little bit of spiciness can make Xiao Yue drink several cups of water, not to mention the grilled skewers covered with chili powder.

Xiao Sifan had only been in contact with Xiao Yue for two days, he didn't know that the other party couldn't eat spicy food, but felt that his son was normal like him.

He thanked Ling Tingyun, took out a bunch of rice cakes from the plate, bit them, and asked with something vague in his mouth, "Brother Ling, do you want to ask me something?"

"kindness."

Ling Tingyun said yes on his face, but he didn't say a word he wanted to ask, but watched Xiao Sifan eat with relish.The skewers in front of him didn't move at all, as if waiting for Xiao Sifan to finish the plate in front of him, and then handed his own plate sprinkled with chili powder to the other party.

The taste of grilled skewers is good, but the taste of eating skewers alone seems a bit lonely.

Xiao Sifan still remembered that in the past when he and Lu Hang came to eat skewers, both of them ordered a large plate and then competed with whoever ate it faster, and the one who ate slowly paid for the treat.This kind of game is often lost by Lu Hang, but the other party is the one who is most addicted to playing, the so-called repeated defeats, repeated defeats.

"Brother Ling, don't you want to try it?" Xiao Sifan took a bunch of Flammulina velutipes from Ling Tingyun's plate and handed it to Ling Tingyun's mouth.

"Try it, it's delicious."

It's not that he is bragging, the whole Huagao No. [-] Middle School also has the best barbecue at this barbecue stall.

The guy who was standing in front and helping to settle the accounts turned around and saw this scene, and said, "This classmate, this gentleman never eats this skewer every time he comes here. This is the first time I see him bring someone here."

"It's a pity not to eat."

"Brother Ling, do you mind if I help you solve it?"

Xiao Sifan was about to stop, and put the bunch of enoki mushrooms handed to the other party's mouth into his own mouth, when Ling Tingyun bent down and bit the bunch of enoki mushrooms that was about to be removed.After biting off the top piece, he frowned slightly and swallowed the greasy stuff in his mouth.

Fried food has never been Ling Tingyun's favorite. He has ordered many times in the past, but he has never eaten it.

This is the first time he eats barbecued food. When he was in high school, he was full of curiosity about this barbecue stall. He once thought that the grilled food at this stall was unusually delicious, but now he knows that it is not the grilled food that is delicious, but It was the man who ate too deliciously.

Flammulina velutipes was bitten in half, and it seemed that Ling Tingyun didn't intend to eat the other half.Xiao Sifan put the bitten half of Flammulina velutipes on his plate without hesitation, intending to eat it together with the other skewers on his plate.

"I've bitten it..." Ling Tingyun reached out to take the bunch of Flammulina velutipes away.

Xiao Sifan immediately protected his plate, waved his hand and said: "It's okay, I don't dislike Brother Ling's saliva. It's a pity that I only ate half of this Flammulina velutipes and threw it away. How about giving me the plate in front of you... pack it back let's go home."

Fearing that the people in front of him would think that he ate too much, Xiao Sifan came up with an idea that he could eat and ensure that the plate of skewers in front of the other party would not be wasted, that was packing.

Ling Tingyun didn't know if he listened or not.

Ever since the person in front of him said he didn't dislike his saliva, he has been in a trance state. Although his face hasn't changed much, the circle above his collarbone has turned slightly red.Ling Tingyun has a problem, shy red neck but not red face.

"Brother Ling, can you pack it?"

"kindness."

Xiao Sifan bought this thing because he loves to eat it.

In high school, Xiao Sifan and Lu Hang often came to the barbecue stand to eat skewers, and Ling Tingyun often followed.It's just that he has never been in front of the two of them, and he always ordered another one according to the original one ordered by Xiao Sifan.

The only difference is no chilli.

This habit has lasted for 18 years. Ling Tingyun sometimes wonders why he cares so much about a person who can't see his existence.But Shangxin is Shangxin, and Shangxin without reason made him obsessed with it for 18 years, until that person came back 18 years later.

A dead heart seems to beat again.

"It's almost finished, Brother Ling, what do you want to ask me?" Seeing that the big plate in front of him was cleaned up in a hurry, leaving only a few strings of small sausages lying alone at the bottom of the plate, Xiao Sifan Mopping his mouth, he asked while picking up the last two strings of sausages.

"I heard from Xiao Song that your grades are good."

Ling Tingyun turned his eyes away, not looking into Xiao Sifan's eyes, "Are you willing to be Xiao Yue's tutor?"

"Tutor?"

"En. Xiao Yue's father has always hoped that Xiao Yue's grades can be improved. In the past, he found many senior tutors for Xiao Yue, but the effect was not obvious. I think instead of finding an older tutor to restrain Xiao Yue, It's better to find a child with good grades to study with him, and now it seems that you are very suitable."

"Brother Ling, I..."

"I know you have just returned to school, and you haven't dealt with many things well. I don't need you to answer me now, after all, there is still about half a year before you graduate from high school."

"No." Xiao Sifan laughed, "I mean I would."

He would naturally be willing to have the opportunity to let him get in close contact with Xiao Yue, and Xiao Yue's performance really needs to be improved.The first step as a father is to improve his child's grades. He doesn't want Xiao Yue to be at the top of the grades, but at least he can graduate smoothly.

Now look, that guy sleeps in class every day, not to mention graduating smoothly, he might be downgraded.

Xiao Sifan bit off the last string of sausages, and said contentedly: "Just because Brother Ling invited me to this barbecue, I also want to improve Xiao Yue's grades. But Brother Ling, you really care about Xiao Yue. If you don't know, you will think you are Xiao Yue's father. Anyway, I think you are much better than that Mr. Ling..."

The following words came to an abrupt end with a hiccup.

Xiao Sifan stopped talking, but Ling Tingyun wanted to hear it.He wanted to hear what kind of role "Ling Tingyun" represented in Xiao Sifan's eyes, or that other than being "Xiao Yue's father", that person had no meaning in the other party's eyes.

That day, the sky was gray, unlike now there are a few golden flowers floating in the sky.

Xiao Sifan's birthday party was supposed to be hosted by Xiao's family, but the children love to play by nature.Lu Hang booked a box for Xiao Sifan to celebrate his brother's coming of age, and there were wine and drinks in the box.

Although it is harmless to drink a bottle of wine as an adult, Xiao Sifan doesn't like the smell of alcohol, so he ordered a bottle of drink.Unexpectedly, some strange things were mixed into the drink that passed through the hands, which caused him...

Thinking of this, Ling Tingyun couldn't help stretching out his hands and kneading his brows. It was all a long time ago, and now I think it's a bit sad when I think about it.The encounter by mistake, the story by mistake, led to everything that happened by mistake in the end.

Maybe the other party never remembered him.
