warm winter

On the day Jian Xin returned to the United States after school, Yuan Yuan went to the airport to see her off.After completing the formalities, Jian Xincheng hugged Yuan Yuan heartily and then consciously went to buy coffee, leaving enough space for his sister and Yuan Yuan.

"Your second brother finally changed his hairstyle. I've always wondered how Uncle Jian could tolerate that hairstyle."

Jian Xinhe remembered that when his father saw his second brother's hair when he first arrived home, his face was really dark.

"So he cut his hair obediently." Jian Xinhe couldn't help him, but could only bless him.

Yuan Yuan suddenly sighed.

"Actually, your second brother's personality is more suitable for that dish-like hairstyle."

Jian Xinhe smiled: "You mean he is very good?"

Oh, she remembered that Yuan Yuan did say that Jian Xincheng was very good at the ski resort.

Compared with Yuan Yuan's skiing skills, the second brother is really good.

But if the second brother knew that Yuan Yuan said that about him, he would still be sad, right?

"Although that vegetable head looks messy and undeserved, it is casual and natural enough, just like your second brother."

Ah, when Yuan Yuan said this, Jian Xinhe suddenly came to his senses.

No wonder, since the second brother had a new haircut, she always felt that something was weird.

It turned out that besides the second brother himself being unhappy, Yuan Yuan also felt that this hairstyle was not suitable for him.In fact, she also thinks that the crew cut is not very good-looking, but she doesn't see through the second brother directly like Yuan Yuan.

"I didn't expect that you knew my second brother better than I did. If he knew, he would be very touched."

Yuan Yuan, on the other hand, made a frightened look, taking advantage of the situation and hugging himself tightly in a posture of self-protection.

"Don't, don't, don't tell him. I'm afraid he'll suffocate me if he gets excited."

It turned out that I was afraid of being hugged by my second brother.Well, actually, every time she saw her second brother holding Yuan Yuan like that, she felt uncomfortable.Fortunately, there are not many such cases, but she still decided not to tell her second brother.

The reason is what Yuan Yuan said.

Jian Xin's recent depression originated from Xitang, and after she came back, she could feel Yuan Yuan's deliberate closeness, even accommodating.She knew that Yuan Yuan cared about this friendship as much as she did.

Although she still couldn't help being sad, Yuan Yuan had her place in her heart, and Jian Xinhe got on the plane with a smile.

After takeoff, the cabin gradually returned to tranquility.

Jian Xincheng casually flipped through the magazines in his hand, and pushed the person beside him who was staring out the window in a daze.

"Xiaoyuan really won't go to America?"

"Well, not going for now."

"Then have you shown her all the high school materials you collected for her before?"

"No."

"What?" Jian Xincheng raised his voice, and everyone around him looked over.

Hearing the sound, the flight attendant immediately came over courteously, squatted beside her and asked, "Excuse me, Mr. Jian, is there anything I can do for you?"

"No, please bring me a glass of ice water, thank you."

"Drinking ice water right after boarding the plane doesn't worry about stomach ache."

"I'm angry at you. Tell me about you. The university courses are so tiring, and you have to stay up late to help her sort out the materials. But she said she wanted to stay in Haicheng, and you didn't even give her a look."

Jian Xinhe ignored him and continued to look out the window.

The stewardess brought the ice water with a sweet smile.

Jian Xincheng responded with a polite smirk, drank half a sip of ice water, and his gums were really cold.

"But you have to let her know that you have done these things for her, and you have paid so much for her! Xinhe, you always don't tell me, why are you bothering!"

Jian Xinhe turned his head and looked at him quietly: "Do you know something?"

Jian Xincheng raised his shoulders meaninglessly: "I've seen it for a long time."

Jian Xinhe was surprised at first, and then quickly returned to calm, but there was a suspected self-deprecating smile on the corner of his mouth.

Jian Xincheng saw that she was unwilling to say more, so he patted her on the shoulder.

Then he let out a low sigh of resignation and pity.

After a long time, when Jian Xincheng thought that she would not continue this topic, Jian Xinhe suddenly spoke.

"Actually, I also know that this is wrong and not good, but I just can't control it. I don't know when it started, but I just can't help but miss her, want to see her smile, and hope she is happy."

"Maybe this is a kind of love for my sister. You are the youngest in the family, so you can't understand it. My elder brother and I treat you in the same way. We will protect you, guard you, and hope you will be happy forever."

Jian Xinhe shook his head with a wry smile, and said shyly: "I am no longer a child, and there are many kinds of likings that I can differentiate. But the kind of liking I have for her is something I shouldn't have, but it happened helplessly. gone."

There was mist in Jian Xinhe's eyes, but she tried her best not to let them turn into tears.

Jian Xincheng stretched out his hand to hold his younger sister into his arms, feeling very distressed.

He hesitated whether to say it or not.But as an elder brother, no matter what your position is, you should remind him.

But seeing Jian Xinhe pretending to be strong, he couldn't say the rest.

"Cry when you want to cry, say what you want to say, don't pretend to be brave in front of the second brother."

"I'm fine, second brother, I'm really fine."

Jian Xinhe took a few deep breaths and broke free from Jian Xincheng's embrace.

"Brother, your stage sense is too strong. It seems that the drama club has not practiced in vain for more than a year."

As soon as the drama club was mentioned, Jian Xincheng's eyes began to shine.

"Really? Really? Do you think I've made progress? I also vaguely feel it, but unfortunately I don't have the chance to verify it. After school starts, I will apply for the next play to prove it!"

Jian Xinhe wanted to remind him that the drama club can only be regarded as a hobby, and it will never become the career of Jian's children.She caught a glimpse of Jian Xincheng's crew cut from the corner of her eye, and thought of Yuan Yuan's sigh, and after thinking about it, she decided to forget it.

If it can make him happy for a while, why should I hit him at this time.

Probably the second brother thought the same way, so he didn't accuse himself of having feelings for Yuan Yuan that he shouldn't have, nor did he ask for details to embarrass himself.Probably also hope that I can have a little more happy time, even if I live in the halo of self-deception.

**

Xinhe left and Yuan Yuan started school, so he didn't have the chance to go to Ye Qing's studio.

Fortunately, they can still contact through WeChat, but Ye Qing seems to be very busy.What's even more amazing is that Zhuang Yi wanted to add Yuan Yuan's WeChat account, but was rejected by both Ye Qing and Aunt Liu.

In the end, a compromise was chosen, and Ye Qing set up a group chat with Yuan Yuan and Zhuang Yi.

However, except when the group was first established, after everyone sent an expression, no one spoke anymore.

Finally, I chose a weekend when everyone was free, and finally spring blossomed.

Yuan Yuan said he wanted to drink coffee, so they went to Ninghai Road again.

"Are you busy studying recently? You are about to take the senior high school entrance examination, and you still want to go out for coffee?"

Although Ye Qing said so, he still happily went to the appointment.

After being seated, Yuan Yuan graciously handed over the menu.

"You can order whatever you want to eat and drink, and I will treat you today."

"Huh? There's nothing to be courteous about."

Yuan Yuan smiled, and there was bright and warm sunlight outside the floor-to-ceiling glass beside her.

"Don't rape and don't steal."

Ye Qing ordered his usual coffee and ordered an American breakfast.

Yuan Yuan was eating a brownie, it looked delicious, but Ye Qing didn't dare to eat it at this time.

Thinking about it, I couldn't help but silently sigh how good it is to be young.I am not afraid of being fat or tall, I can eat whatever I want, I can even laugh so wantonly, and I am not afraid of getting wrinkles at all.

After a meal, Ye Qing always felt that Yuan Yuan was a little abnormal today.

A little too warm for her.

"You asked me out today for something?"

Ye Qing didn't intend to make detours, and she didn't like to be too devious when facing Yuan Yuan.

Yuan Yuan was a little nervous, but still confessed her intentions.

"I want to stay in Haicheng to study in high school. I've made up my mind. I'm not going anywhere. So can you help me convince my dad?"

This time it was still the same request as last time, but Ye Qing could feel that Yuan Yuan was more determined than last time.

"Can you tell me why you want to stay in Haicheng so much? Since you come to me for help again, you must hope that I can succeed. But if you don't even tell me the real reason, I'm really not sure."

Ye Qing was not refusing. Based on her understanding of Yuan Honghao, she had to come up with sufficient reasons to convince him when talking about business.What's more, what's being talked about now is the treasure in his heart, how can she, a fake fiancee, be able to persuade him with a few words.

Obviously Yuan Yuan came prepared and had already thought about it before coming.

"I just don't think it is necessary to go abroad in high school. My grades are not bad but not the best. If I go abroad, I can't keep up and I can't find anyone to help me. Or I went to a strange environment in high school. Here, if I know some bad classmates and friends, it would be bad if I was led badly."

Yuan Yuan spoke very vividly and earnestly, imitating what her imaginary bad classmates would look like from time to time.

There was always a slight smile on the corner of Ye Qing's mouth, and when Yuan Yuan finished speaking, she still shook her head.

"No, this explanation is reasonable, but it's not what I want."

Yuan Yuan was discouraged, Ye Qing was really hard to deal with.

She suddenly remembered the last time she ran into Zhuang Yi on the street and chatted about the preparation progress of the studio.At first, I thought it was Ye Qing trying to accommodate Zhuang Yi's weird temper, but Zhuang Yi complained a lot to her about Ye Qing's almost perverted harshness on details.

So much so that Zhuang Yi gritted his teeth and came to a conclusion: it's too late to meet again!

Yuan Yuan laughed, only similar people would be willing to endure time and time again scrutiny and rework in order to pursue the ultimate perfection.

However, what she is facing now is also a person who has high requirements for answers.Yuan Yuan thought that the answers he had prepared in advance probably wouldn't satisfy her.

When she was still hesitating, it was Ye Qing who asked her.

"You don't want to leave, you want to stay because there are people in Haicheng you don't want to part with, right?"

His heart was beating like thunder, and Ye Qing's words were soft, like a spring breeze, but Yuan Yuan's heart could no longer be calm.

After a long time, Yuan Yuan finally admitted softly,

"Ah."

"It's family."

This time Ye Qing didn't use a question, she said an affirmative sentence.

Yuan Yuan looked up at her, only to see Ye Qing staring sideways at the scenery outside the glass window.

Ninghai Road is not spacious and there are very few vehicles.

The road was lined with sycamores, but it was not very attractive at this time.

But Ye Qing kept staring outside, and didn't take it back for a long time.

Yuan Yuan was puzzled at first, followed by watching for a while, and later found out that Ye Qing actually didn't want to look at herself.

In fact, Yuan Yuan didn't really want to be seen by Ye Qing, the moment she admitted, the emotion she had been hiding could no longer be said to hide.

"Although my father is often away on business trips, my grandma always emphasizes the expectations of me after dinner, which makes me very stressed, and Aunt Liu always feels that I have not grown up, and I am afraid that I will choke when I eat, fall when I walk, and sleep. Will kick the quilt."

Yuan Yuan recalled while talking, the more he said, the more natural it became.

"But, this is my home. I'm afraid that if I leave too early, I won't have a place for me in the future."

Being young and reluctant to leave home, Ye Qing could predict and understand these things.But Ye Qing never thought of the last sentence.

Ye Qing is so smart, after a brief moment of stupefaction, she quickly figured it out.

"You are worried that if you go abroad, your father will have a new focus of life after marriage, and those people you care about will no longer value you as much as they did in the past."

Yuan Yuan was a little embarrassed, she lowered her head to avoid Ye Qing's gaze, but she did not deny it.

She admitted that she was worried, worried that her father married a new mother, and then gave her a brother or sister, or both.

Then, she was promoted to sister, but lost her home forever.

She was abandoned by her mother before, and there was always a corner missing in her heart.If he is left behind again, Yuan Yuan doesn't know if this heart is enough to tear off a few more pieces.

And the person who was most likely to pose a threat to her was sitting in front of her.

Once she really regarded her as a threat, so she resisted, she wanted to scare Ye Qing away as soon as possible.

But now she is a little bit reluctant, getting along with Ye Qing is a very happy and happy thing, Yuan Yuan is not willing to deceive herself.

So she chose to stay, and if she stayed, she might always have her place.
