Summer in Hagawa

When Ye Ningde just resigned and went to sea, he only had a small trading company in his hands, which was still affiliated with a large state-owned factory.Later, the business grew bigger and bigger step by step, and the family affairs naturally did not take care of distractions.Mrs. Ye Qiao Min spends most of her time on beauty treatments, shopping and playing mahjong, and she doesn't care much about the fact that there is a high school student at home.It's not that she treats Ye Chuan badly, she just doesn't care, it's just that there are more people in the family, and it's not that she can't afford it.Besides, Ye Chuan's grades are good, and she is also outstanding in appearance, so people before and after have added face to her.It's just that Ye Chuan was already ten years old when he took it over, so he couldn't raise the relationship between mother and child no matter what.One of her own two sons has already started to take over Ye Ningde's business, and the other is about to graduate from college. Her position in the Ye family is as stable as a rock, completely different from those women who need to rely on the existence of their sons to rise to the top, naturally not so How much time to take care of a nephew who is out of reach.

Qiao Min always let Ye Chuan's affairs take its course. At dinner, he heard that he was going to move to do a part-time job with his classmates during the summer vacation, but he was just stunned for a moment, and asked quite unexpectedly, "Will it cost money?"

Ye Chuan shook his head quickly.The Ye family has always been generous with the allowance money given to the child, and he has no particularly outrageous expenses, and basically keeps all the allowance money in his hand.

However, Ye Ningde felt that this proposal was good, and said a few words about boys needing to temper themselves more. Even if the matter was settled, Ye Chuan was naturally relieved.He didn't have much luggage, and besides, he was only staying for a summer vacation.In addition to the textbooks, Ye Chuan packed a few more clothes for a change of clothes, and moved in with Shao Kai on the night after the exam.

Shao Kai's family lives in the old city, half of the city is separated from No. [-] Middle School. Even if someone picks him up every day, it is troublesome. Shao Kai is unwilling to live in the school. In the end, his second uncle came forward and rented a two-bedroom house near the school. , Another nanny was hired to cook and clean the room every day.

Ye Chuan has a good impression of his temporary residence, the environment of the community is nice and quiet.Different from the tranquility of the Ye family's seclusion, away from the hustle and bustle, here you can see the layers of lights in front of and behind the building when you open the window, and even the air is full of smoke and smoke that makes people feel warm.

Ye Chuan always felt that if his parents were still alive, his family would most likely live in such a community based on the financial capabilities of two ordinary civil servants.Maybe it's just such an ordinary two-bedroom apartment, with warm-colored fabric sofas in the living room and a few potted flowers on the balcony.From childhood to adulthood, he has changed too many residences, and he has no impression of the home before the age of eight. He only remembers that the curtains and sofas are bright orange, the sun shines in, and even the air smells warm.However, sometimes Ye Chuan can't tell whether such a scene has really been experienced, or... just a product of his imagination.

After all, too much time has passed.

Uncle Shao Kai's coffee shop is on the third floor of Haitian Building. The two floors downstairs are department stores owned by foreigners. Apart from the office building upstairs, there are fitness and beauty clubs where rich people spend their time. The business has always been good.The store has its own fixed staff, Shao Kai and Ye Chuan said they were part-time workers, but in fact they just helped to deliver food and collect tables. Sometimes the back kitchen was too busy and they helped to clean the dishes. When there were not many customers The two of them can get together to do the test questions, and there are tea and snacks to serve them next to them, which is more nourishing than living at home.

Shao Kai's second uncle, Shao Hua, is a well-known pastry chef himself. It is said that more than half of the female staff in the office building upstairs are his fans.Soaked in the aroma of coffee cream all day long, even Ye Chuan, who never liked sweets, was gradually aroused, and every time desserts were on the counter, he was willing to come to see the excitement.

"Cream brulee, blueberry custard, chocolate muffins, special fruit tarts..." Shao Hua introduced the same thing, ingredients, sweetness, calories, many female customers are very concerned about these, "and the price tag, all of them The right side of the plate, don't get it wrong again."

These two children are good-looking, with sweet mouths, and their appearance in white uniforms is even more attractive than the delicious desserts in the glass cabinet.Shao Hua decisively replaced the original waitresses as soon as he discovered that these two handsome men could attract female customers.

"Profitable businessmen!" Shao Kai protested, "The wages are so low and we have to sell our lust."

"I call it rational use of resources." Shao Hua spread his hands, "Besides, Ye Chuan's color is much better than yours, and he doesn't mind, so what are you doing?"

Ye Chuan just laughed.He felt that the uncle and nephew didn't look like elders and juniors when they were together, but they looked like good buddies.

While making noise, the second chef came over and asked Shao Hua to go to the kitchen.As soon as Ye Chuan put on his hat, he heard the wind chimes at the door ding ding dong dong. Ye Chuan hurriedly pulled Shao Kai to stand behind the dessert cabinet.When there are no customers in the store, you can make a fuss, and when someone comes, you have to act like you are doing something.As soon as Ye Chuan stood on his side, he heard a clear voice and said with a smile: "You are indeed here."

Ye Chuan turned his head subconsciously, and his whole body was shocked as if struck by lightning.

It's not surprise, it's much more than surprise.The moment Ye Chuan met Li Xingxing's eyes, Ye Chuan felt more fear, an almost superstitious fear of fate.

It turned out that some things were really doomed, they couldn't be avoided, they couldn't be avoided, no matter how reluctant he was, what was supposed to happen still happened, what he changed was only the time and place where the whole incident started.Ye Chuan watched the two handsome young men approaching step by step, and felt a sense of powerlessness and fatigue in his heart.

Feeling similar to disappointment, but far heavier than disappointment.

The Ye Shifei in Ye Chuan's memory is a slick character, who treats people well and thoughtfully, and does not leak water.But the smiling young man in front of him is obviously slightly different from the Ye Shifei in his memory, the contours of his facial features are softer, and his smile is much brighter.

"Come on, let me introduce you to my younger brother, Ye Chuan." Ye Shifei patted Li Xingxing's shoulder and said with a smile, "How is it, isn't it pretty?"

Li Xingxing was looking Ye Chuan up and down, and when he heard him say that, he couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled, "It's really beautiful."

Ye Chuan stood stiffly behind the dessert cabinet, feeling his scalp go numb.The same opening statement, exactly as it was eight years ago.

"I heard from mom that you were playing here, so I happened to come over to do some shopping, so I stopped by to see you." Ye Shifei touched Ye Chuan's head, and said with a smile: "This is my classmate, who came back with me for the summer vacation." Li's whereabouts, you can call Li Ge."

Ye Chuan couldn't cry out.Their entanglement in the past was too unbearable, especially in the year before his death, the two were basically in a state of separation, but whenever they met, they would quarrel endlessly, and they did not know how many hurtful things they said.Ye Chuan always thought that he hated him, but when he hated him to the extreme, he just felt numb.

"This kid," Ye Shifei rubbed his head again, "is shy."

Ye Chuan turned away unnaturally, and Ye Shifei's laughter came from his ear.

Li Xingxing smiled cooperatively, but his eyes still stayed on Ye Chuan's face.A boy of sixteen or seventeen, who has not yet fully grown up, has a gloomy look between his brows and eyes that does not match his age, and he is not easy to get close to.Different from Ye Shifei's warm and delicate appearance, every twist and turn of Ye Chuan's face has a sculpture-like hard feeling, beautiful and cold, making people unconsciously think of knives and guns, almost sharp a feeling of.

Very flamboyant boy.This was Ye Chuan's first impression of Li's whereabouts.At the same time, he also noticed Ye Chuan's subtle rejection of him.It amuses him.The boy didn't seem to have a very good temper, but Li Xingxing felt that he was very tolerant.

"Brother Ye, long time no see." Shao Kai knew Ye Shifei, so he naturally wanted to come up to say hello, "When did you come back?"

"I arrived yesterday." Ye Shifei smiled at his brother's good friend, "Are you two... role-playing? Or do you have a grudge against the boss and came here to ruin the business?"

"How can it be?" Shao Kai laughed, "It's my second uncle's shop."

"I really don't know." Ye Shifei looked around and smiled at Ye Chuan, "What time do you get off work? I'll wait for you to go back together. Parents will also come back."

Ye Chuan didn't want to go back, but Ye Shifei was his brother in name, so it would be unrealistic to see him when he came back from vacation.Ye Chuan hesitated for a moment, but still nodded, "There are still two hours."

Ye Shifei nodded, "Let's go shopping first, and come pick you up later."

Ye Chuan secretly heaved a sigh of relief.It happened so suddenly that he needed time to digest it.If they had been waiting here, he really didn't know how to face them.

Li Xingxing who walked to the door of the store suddenly turned his head, and his eyes quickly turned around Ye Chuan.The slightly scrutinizing gaze is mixed with a bit of inexplicable depth.

Ye Chuan's back immediately tensed up.

Li Xingzong's eyes returned to his face, and he suddenly laughed.Without waiting for Ye Chuan to react, he turned around and caught up with Ye Shifei in three steps and two steps, and the two walked towards the elevator, talking and laughing.

"What's wrong?" Shao Kai bumped into his shoulder, "You look pale...you feel uncomfortable?"

Ye Chuan shook his head, feeling weak like he was out of strength.

Did not avoid.He had deliberately avoided to this point, but he still didn't.It's only three or four days...

Ye Shifei is used to traveling during the summer vacation. Ye Chuan remembered that this summer, his travel plan was to go out with Li Xingxing. The two stayed in N City for a few days and then flew directly to Yunnan.Since even their meeting cannot be avoided, their travel plans should not change.For three or four days, Ye Chuan thought that they would not have the chance to meet again after meeting today. After all, Ye Shifei still had to visit relatives and friends with his parents, and they still had to prepare for the trip.What's more, he has already moved out of the Ye family.

As long as it's over tonight.
