keep watch

There are a few red lanterns hanging on the side of the street, and the rich laurel fragrance is swaying with the wind bit by bit, permeating into the houses with arrogance, Shen Yiyan frowned, he doesn't like the overly strong fragrance of flowers.

Father sent a message: Xiaoyan, father has arrived.

Shen Yiyan actually didn't know how to communicate with his father, as if it was just a vague concept in his past life.In those years without any worries, he has always lived by himself, without freshness, without brilliance, and the only color is that he likes Zhou Xingchen.

After his parents divorced, he chose to be with his mother, but no matter who he chose, the result would be the same. He didn't learn to love from his parents, but because of Zhou Xingchen, he learned to endure all kinds of life.

His father left the country, and his mother remarried soon. The situation never listened to what others said and followed the trend, but Shen Yiyan could do it. He didn't have the courage to follow his mother to live in a new family. He chose to walk this path by himself.

The vague shadow in my impression is not much different from the man in front of me, only older.He and his father haven't seen each other for a long time, and they only exchange blessings every New Year.

Those punctual holiday wishes on the mobile phone interface are actually alienated and polite, like polite greetings between ordinary friends, and the only thing linked to them is the dispensable blood relationship.

"Xiaoyan, are you hungry, why don't you order first, I remember you know how to eat this dish the most." The man was a little embarrassed, with a stiff smile on his face.

He pointed out a dish on the menu to Shen Yiyan, Shen Yiyan didn't say anything, just nodded, seeing from the fragmented fragments in his mind that he really liked this dish, but the time had passed so long that he had already forgotten it the taste of.

After ordering, the atmosphere between the two was very weird, as if there was a long glacier separating them.First, the man broke the ice, rubbed his sweaty palms, and looked embarrassed: "Xiaoyan, my father has been sorry to you all these years, and he has never taken care of you when he was abroad. It is because of my father's fault."

Shen Yiyan didn't know whether what the man said was true or not, so she shook her head and said it didn't matter.

The man was stunned. He looked at the cold-faced young man in front of him. Even though he was his son, but he hadn't seen him for so many years, he had become the kind of stranger who passed by on the road, and his eyes were a little sore.He knew that he was selfish, and in order to pursue an unrealistic love and life, he abandoned his flesh and blood, but in the end he still lost completely.

He thought he could go further and further, but he didn't expect to return to the original point when he was frustrated, and there was nothing left.

"Dad was wrong, I hope you can forgive Dad." The man covered his face with his hands and began to choke.

Shen Yiyan looked at this man strangely. He didn't think it was wrong to pursue the life he wanted, even though they abandoned him, but maybe it was because his feelings were always weak compared to normal people, and it was hard for him to understand men's feelings. mood.

"You are not wrong, I have nothing to forgive you." Shen Yiyan sighed, feeling bored.Looking down at the phone, I remembered that I had added Zhou Xingchen's WeChat before.Then he opened the WeChat interface and clicked on the circle of friends that he never paid attention to. It was ridiculous to say that there were only a few people in his circle of friends.The first circle of friends I saw was Zhou Xingchen's.There is no text, just a picture with a car model with exquisite composition.

Shen Yiyan pursed her lips, Zhou Xingchen's birthday was coming soon, then he saved the picture and sent it to Su Wenhao, the message was returned quickly.

Su Wenhao: I'm not mistaken, Yiyan, you actually took the initiative to send me a WeChat message, you are still alive [smile], but are you going to buy this car model?

Shen Yiyan: Yes.

Su Wenhao once talked with his senior fellow in the laboratory that his hobby was car models, and Shen Yiyan happened to be beside him at that time.

Su Wenhao: I found it. This is the most collectible edition. I heard that it is out of print. But I just know a friend who resells car models recently. I will send you a link later.

Shen Yiyan: Thank you.

Su Wenhao: Haha, you're welcome. 【Oak】

Shen Yiyan put down his phone, the dishes were already served.Looking at these exquisite dishes, Shen Yiyan didn't have much appetite. The man across from him kept picking up vegetables for him, and Shen Yiyan frowned. He always didn't like other people picking up vegetables for him, which was also the reason why he seldom ate with others.

But the man was very attentive, Shen Yiyan felt it was weird, lowered his head and continued to eat, but he ate very little.

"Isn't it to your liking?" The man noticed Shen Yiyan's slightly irritable expression.

"No." Shen Yiyan's tone was flat.

After finishing the meal in a hurry, Shen Yiyan said goodbye to the man and went home, passing by the noodle shop downstairs, and stopped.Thinking of Zhou Xingchen, he seemed to like to give himself dumplings from this store.

Looking down at his watch, it happened to be the meal time. Shen Yiyan took out his phone, opened WeChat again, and prepared to speak for a long time.

Shen Yiyan: Are you at home?After waiting for about 20 minutes, Zhou Xingchen replied.

Zhou Xingchen: Sorry, I was catching up on sleep just now, I'm at home, what's wrong.

Shen Yiyan hesitated for a few seconds and clicked send.

Shen Yiyan: It's okay, I just wanted to ask if you had dinner?I'm downstairs and I can bring you some dumplings.

Zhou Xingchen: Okay, I happen to be hungry too.Thank you.

Shen Yiyan wanted to be rude, but suddenly thought of the emoji Su Wenhao sent, so he saved the emoticon package on Su Wenhao's chat interface, and sent it by accident.

Shen Yiyan: You're welcome, [Ouke]

Shen Yiyan didn't dare to look at her phone, and went into the noodle shop.

Just after the exam today, when Zhou Xingchen got home, he took a shower and went to sleep. When he woke up, he found that Shen Yiyan had sent him a message.Zhou Xingchen was still surprised when he first saw it, until Shen Yiyan made an expression of [Ok], Zhou Xingchen couldn't help laughing, he always thought that a person with Shen Yiyan's character would not make such a funny and cute expression, Zhou Xingchen looked at his phone for a while, and there was a knock on the door.

"Give you."

"Thank you." Zhou Xingchen took it.

Shen Yiyan had dark circles under his eyelids, and his expression was indifferent.It's totally unimaginable that he will make a funny face.

Did you do the experiment late last night?Zhou Xingchen took it and stared at Shen Yiyan.Shen Yiyan's face was hot, seeing Zhou Xingchen staring at him, he felt strange: "Is there something dirty on my face?"

"It's okay." Zhou Xingchen smiled, "Did you eat by yourself? Why did you only buy one?"

"Ah."

Whether this "um" was eaten or not, Zhou Xingchen was a little embarrassed, and then heard Shen Yiyan say: "I have eaten."

"Okay." Zhou Xingchen felt a little weird, as if he needed to say something else: "Do you want to come in and take a look?"

Shen Yiyan hadn't been in this person's house since he helped Zhou Xingchen tidy up the house last time, but it was so late, and he felt a little uneasy about going in and out of Zhou Xingchen's house, so he refused: "No... you go to bed early, and I won't bother you. "

"Well, see you tomorrow." Zhou Xingchen said.

Shen Yiyan raised the corner of his mouth, "Okay, see you tomorrow."

After Zhou Xingchen finished his meal, he went back to the house, somehow remembered Shen Yiyan, and began to search for any fragment in his mind, but no matter what, he couldn't find a face that was exactly the same as Shen Yiyan.

Have you really never seen him?When he first met Shen Yiyan, he felt familiar, and after thinking about it, he had a vague impression.

In the third year of high school, he and his friends went to the bookstore to buy exercise books.At the corner, I saw a boy wearing the same school uniform as me sorting out the books. The boy first looked carefully to see if there were any books that did not match the classification, pulled them out, put them back in place, and then arranged them by size, type, and color. and its rigor.Zhou Xingchen was curious, so he stepped forward to tease: "You are so cute."

At that time, the boy's book suddenly slipped from his hand, and then the boy picked it up in a panic. Zhou Xingchen only remembered that the boy's face was very small and white, but his facial features were blurred.

Zhou Xingchen apologized in time: "I'm sorry, I scared you."

The boy seemed a little nervous and didn't respond. He just glanced at himself and left.Zhou Xingchen sighed, inexplicably feeling that this boy resembled Shen Yiyan.

The phone rang.

"Brother, did you find the car model I asked you to find last time?" Zhou Huaiyu asked.

"No, I'm still looking at it." Zhou Xingchen posted a picture of a car model on Moments last time. He actually wanted to see if anyone could help. After so long, there was no news, so he probably couldn't find it.

"Okay, then if you find it, you must tell me."

"Understood." Zhou Xingchen frowned. His younger brother's favorite thing was car models, but Zhou Xingchen himself was not very interested in car models.

Shen Yiyan on the other side received a seller's message recommended by Su Wenhao: Hello, are you sure you want to buy this car model?

Shen Yiyan said yes.

After a while, an order was sent from the other end, with the price and pictures of the car model on it. Shen Yiyan looked at it carefully, and it should be worth his living expenses for two months. Fortunately, he had saved enough money.

Anyway, I can't understand it, so I just bought it and have a look.Shen Yiyan thought, then clicked on the payment interface and made the payment successfully.
