Summer in Hagawa
Chapter 42 The First Cigarette
Ye Chuan picked and picked among a pile of fish, shrimp and seafood, barely eating half full.In fact, he doesn't like it very much. He can use delicate things like seafood, and his stomach will always feel uncomfortable if he eats too much.Taste is one aspect, the main reason is that it is very troublesome to eat.Ye Chuan felt that he was a lazy person. No matter what, as long as there was a layer of skin on the outside, it would be difficult for him to get interested in eating it.
The staple food of Seafood Restaurant is naturally all kinds of seafood dumplings.This is also Qiao Min's favorite.But facing the plate after plate of seafood dumplings, Ye Chuan couldn't help but miss the hand-rolled noodles he had eaten in Hei Liudai. The soup base was rich and the noodles were made with moderate hardness and softness.Ye Chuan felt that apart from Zhang Dawan's beef ramen, this was the best noodle he had eaten in City B.
"Cuttlefish nourishes the kidneys and spleen, nourishes yin and blood, and also has anti-cancer effects." Li Xingxing introduced Qiao Min's dumplings enthusiastically, "This kind of cuttlefish dumplings is especially suitable for women. Auntie eat more a little."
Qiao Min looked very happy, and said with a smile: "It tastes good, you all have a taste."
Li Xingxing turned around and put one in Ye Chuan's plate, "Try it."
Ye Chuan hurriedly said, "Thank you Brother Li, I'll just do it myself."
Li Xingxing smiled very gently, "You should eat more, and you are going to school and working part-time, so pay attention to your health."
Out of the corner of Ye Chuan's eyes, Ye Shifei caught a glimpse of Ye Shifei biting his chopsticks and watching this scene with a smile, his scalp felt a little numb.He knew that Ye Shifei was very friendly both in his eyes and in his body language, as if Li Xingxing lived in harmony with his family, which made him feel very relieved.But for some reason, Ye Chuan just didn't dare to look into his eyes.
It was a very weird feeling, as if seeing something falling from upstairs would instinctively dodge, or walking around a puddle would automatically avoid it.An inscrutable, instinct-like intuition.It was as if he was afraid that if he looked over, he would see something that he had been avoiding.
I can't tell the truth, a feeling like I'm escaping from something.
Ye Chuan was secretly uncomfortable.He felt that he shouldn't be such... such a dark person.But the actual situation is that he is not only being dark, but also dark for no reason.
When he was struggling, the phone in his pocket rang at the right time.Ye Chuan breathed a sigh of relief, he didn't care to see who was calling, and hurried out of the box with his mobile phone.
The call was from Tan Lin. As soon as Ye Chuan picked it up, he lowered his voice and asked slyly, "Chuan'er, where are you now?"
"Me?" Ye Chuan was puzzled, "I'm with my family. Didn't I tell you?"
"Oh, oh, I forgot." Tan Lin paused for a while, wondering if he walked away, and his voice became a little louder, "Don't come back before the door of the dormitory is locked. Well, why don't you come back tonight gone."
"What's the matter?" Ye Chuan felt that what he said was nonsensical, "What shameful... activities are you going to do?"
"Brother is doing it for your own good!" Tan Lin gritted his teeth, "Let me tell you, Luo Jian and I are having barbecue outside right now, who do you think came with us?"
"It's Zhao Haidong? He's coming back to live today?" Ye Chuan thought about it, and felt that he was the only person he could meet in the dormitory.However, with Zhao Haidong's family background, he is probably a little wary of ordinary people, and it is incredible to be able to go out for supper with them.
"How could that young master have dinner with poor people like us?" Tan Lin said in a strange tone, "He doesn't want to hang out with us at all, okay?"
Ye Chuan didn't like Tan Lin's tone very much, but it was undeniable that Zhao Haidong really looked like this kind of person.He is cold to everyone, as if he is afraid that others will get on him.It was only after knowing Ye Shifei's identity that he became a little friendly towards himself.
"Don't be a fool, who is it?" Ye Chuan also became impatient.
"It's Doctor Yan."
"Yan Han?" Ye Chuan was stunned for a moment, "How could he get together with you?"
"Let me make a long story short." Tan Lin lowered his voice again, "Luo Jian had just returned when I returned to the dormitory, and there was no food in the cafeteria at this time. We were discussing where to eat when Dr. Yan came and asked You have something to do."
"What's the matter?" Ye Chuan couldn't figure out what Yan Han could do with him at this time. Isn't he being chased by Tao Yin's white rabbit?
"He didn't say anything." Tan Lin expressed his helplessness in his tone, and then began to pretend to be mysterious, "At this moment, another mysterious figure appeared. Guess who it is?"
Ye Chuan replied calmly: "Tao Yin."
"Wow," Tan Lin exclaimed strangely, "You guessed it!"
Ye Chuan raised his forehead, thinking that this is hard to guess?Since he was chasing Yan Han all over the world, he would naturally go wherever Yan Han went.The question is, what can Yan Han do with him at this time?Besides, even if he had something to do, wouldn't he call first?Everyone pays attention to efficiency these days, who would come to find someone directly?
"Let me tell you, a strange thing happened at this moment: Yan Han originally said he was looking for you, but as soon as Tao Yin came in, he immediately changed his words and said he came to see me and Luo Jian for dinner. Then... Tao Yin came out with us." Tan Lin seemed a little confused, "Hey, tell me, are Yan Han and Tao Yin a couple?"
"How would I know?" Ye Chuan asked him angrily, "Then what's your situation now?"
"Doctor Yan seems to be in a bad mood, and he doesn't talk much." Tan Lin thought for a while, and then said, "But Tao Yin is very happy. He also said that it's his birthday and he wants to treat everyone to dinner."
"Nothing else?" Ye Chuan still felt baffled after listening to it.He was a little hesitant to call Yan Han. The question was, what would he say when he called?I heard you need me for something?
Ye Chuan sighed, this is really nothing to look for.
"I always feel that there is something wrong with these two couples." Tan Lin changed the subject again, "Don't both of them are trying to trick you. Listen to brother, don't come back tonight."
"Well, I'm not going back." Ye Chuan also felt that considering the current situation, it's better to avoid these two people for the time being.
However, if he didn't go back to the dormitory tonight, where should he go to spend the night?Ye Ningde and his wife both lived in Ye Shifei's house, so it would be too crowded for him to go there.Ye Shizheng does have an apartment in City B, but Ye Shizheng is also an adult, in case someone arranges some kind of nightlife... It would be inappropriate to rush to disturb him.For others, there is only black six...
Ye Chuan's ears felt slightly warm.Forget it, let's stay in a hotel.It's easy to deal with in one night.
The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.Ye Chuan leaned on the window sill of the corridor and was a little hesitant about how to get there. Ye Ningde and his wife naturally took Ye Shifei's car. If Ye Shizheng wanted to take him back to school, it would be a little troublesome. He couldn't tell Ye Shizheng that he wanted live in hotel……
Ye Chuan took out a cigarette case from his pocket and took a cigarette in his mouth. When he was fumbling in his pockets to find a lighter, there was a ding in his ear, and a silver lighter was handed to him.Ye Chuan didn't have time to think about it, he leaned over to light a cigarette, raised his head and was about to thank him, but saw the people around him looking at him with a slight smile on his face.
"Have you learned to smoke?"
Ye Chuan lowered his eyelids, looked at the smoke curling up between his fingers, but felt a sense of desolation in his heart.At his age, he would never have smoked.It should be a few years after getting into this inescapable thing.He even remembered the dimly lit bar, the cigarette that the blurry alcoholic tremblingly handed to him.That was the first cigarette in his life.It was rough and spicy, and he coughed up tears as soon as he inhaled it.The drunkard on the opposite side laughed dizzily, "Just smoke one when you're upset, that's how I smoked too..."
It was only later that Ye Chuan realized that smoking could not calm down his disturbed mood, what he was greedy for was only the faint trace of smoke after lighting it.As if some kind of comfort in expectation, lingering in the fingers, never leaving.
Ye Chuan suddenly remembered that it was the day when Li Xingxing mentioned breaking up for the first time during the quarrel with him.
As if being scalded, Ye Chuan shook violently and threw the cigarette between his fingers.Li Xingxing beside him was taken aback by his sudden movement, "What's wrong?"
"It's okay, I'm distracted." Ye Chuan picked up the cigarette that fell on the window sill, and threw it out along the slightly open window.His head hangs slightly, and his slightly long hair hangs down to block his eyebrows and eyes.From the perspective of Li's whereabouts, Ye Chuan's expression was gloomy, as if he remembered some unpleasant experience.
Li Xingzheng subconsciously wanted to find something to talk about to break the slightly stagnant atmosphere, "Why did you choose a house in the southern district? It's very inconvenient to get in and out."
Ye Chuan forced a smile, "It's okay, I can't stay now."
"Don't be fooled by the house sellers, right?" Li Xingzong glanced at his face and sighed slightly, "This is the way it is in this business. These people can use any tricks to sell the house."
Ye Chuan didn't make a sound.He didn't want to explain to Li Xingxing why his obsession with Yingshui Bay came from.Whatever the cause, he had already gotten what he wanted.
"I have to buy a car." Li Xingxing thought for a while and said, "I'll teach you when I have time. My skills are not bad."
Ye Chuan glanced at him with a strange expression.He remembered very clearly that Li Xingxing also mentioned teaching him to drive at the beginning, but the words got out, but they never turned into actions.In the end, I spent my own money to study outside.It seems that despite the passage of time, some habits cannot be changed.
Ye Chuan hurriedly said, "Thank you Brother Li, I have no plans to learn how to drive just yet."
Li Xingzong looked at him and smiled self-deprecatingly, "Chuan'er, I don't think you need to keep a distance from me so...so deliberately. If you say you don't accept it, I won't do anything against your will. As long as you can see Look at you, it's good to know where you are..."
Ye Chuan waved his hand at Li Xingxing, signaling him to stop talking.Before Li Xingji could say anything, Ye Chuan turned around and went back to the box.It wasn't intentional to be rude to him, but Ye Chuan suddenly couldn't bear it.He had heard those words before, almost word for word, but he was not speaking to himself.
The humiliation and pain I had felt before were revealed so unexpectedly.
Ye Chuan felt that his previous thoughts were ridiculous.It turns out that those things that have been experienced are not something that can be forgotten just by forgetting.The only thing he can do is to hide away, a little further away.Don't let yourself fall into the vortex of memory easily, and be disturbed by those lurking things.
Anyway, life goes on.Ye Chuan said to himself: Don't make yourself unhappy anymore.
Ye Chuan made an excuse to go back to school, took a taxi and left before the banquet was over.The timing of his choice was just right, Ye Shizheng and Ye Ningde were still discussing about the deal, otherwise, if Ye Shizheng offered to send him back, it would be really difficult for him to prevaricate.
Ye Chuan took a taxi to Fuyue Hotel and opened a room.He wasn't full at the seafood restaurant just now, and he was thinking whether he should have a late-night snack to fill his stomach or take a bath first, when the cell phone thrown on the sofa rang.Pick it up and look, the name jumping on the screen is Xiao Nan, whom I haven't contacted for a while.
The staple food of Seafood Restaurant is naturally all kinds of seafood dumplings.This is also Qiao Min's favorite.But facing the plate after plate of seafood dumplings, Ye Chuan couldn't help but miss the hand-rolled noodles he had eaten in Hei Liudai.
