Overtone

By the time Qi Ye went downstairs, it was already past five o'clock.

Seeing that Zhou Qun was used to it, he teased: "Brother, aren't you here to help us prepare the ingredients?"

"I'm sorry." Qi Ye smiled, and helped Yang Dong and the others bring in the boxed beer: "I'll punish myself for three cups later."

"Three cups are not enough." Lu Cheng followed suit, "One box, you won't go home until you're drunk."

Qi Ye was delighted when he heard it.

"If I get drunk." He said, "I'll go crazy with alcohol, it won't affect me well."

"What are you afraid of?" Zhou Qun pulled Qi Ye to the side, smiling rather cheaply: "It's not like you drink and wander on the street, someone will always take care of you, brother Qi, just drink as much as you want, It's okay."

Qi Ye clicked his tongue: "Don't talk nonsense."

"You're shy." Zhou Qun said with a smirk, "I'm shy, like a little girl in love."

"It's not impossible to say." Looking at Xiao Cheng who was preparing the ingredients in the distance, Qi Ye's expression was quite serious: "The time has not come, this matter is not urgent."

Zhou Qun sighed.

"You are Moji." He hooked Qi Ye's neck, and said in a worldly tone: "Then I won't join in the fun when it comes to important matters in life, but if you want to help push it, Brother, I will definitely help."

"You haven't drunk yet." Qi Ye laughed, "Why are you so drunk?"

"I'm not worried about it."

After talking nonsense with Zhou Qun, Qi Ye went over to carry drinks with Lu Cheng and the others.

"Why did you still buy fireworks?" Qi Ye was a little surprised when he saw the colorful pile of flowers on the back seat of the car, "Are you going to set it off tonight?"

"That's not it." Lu Cheng said in a low voice, "Zhou Qun and I want to surprise the rest of the crew, brother, are you coming?"

Qi Ye quickly waved his hands and said with a smile, "Forget it, flashy things don't suit me."

Carrying the last box of drinks into the yard, the barbecue ingredients have been sorted and placed on the table. In addition, there are all kinds of side dishes, sauces, barbecue powder, and even plastic gloves for barbecue. up.

Qi Ye was very happy to see it.

Needless to say, the style of this arrangement must be unique to Professor Xiao.

In fact, Qi Ye didn't come out to play very often. How should I put it, he was busy breaking out in the society in the early years, so he didn't have much time.Besides, there are few opportunities to go out with colleagues in the bar, let alone roommates.

After five or six years like this, when we reach the age of emptiness and loneliness, there are not many people who want to find friends to hang out with.

So this kind of crew gathering was quite novel to Qi Ye.

During the two-day vacation, there were no activities, just eating and drinking all day long, plus drinking and chatting.I heard that there is a forest park dozens of miles away, but Qi Ye is not interested.

"Why did you come out wearing a thin unlined garment?" Xiao Cheng came over at this time, and frowned slightly, "The temperature in the suburbs is low at night, and then the cold will not be good."

Qi Ye stood by the table and picked up the chicken wings: "It's not cold, the charcoal fire is hot."

It's really warm.

It makes people completely relaxed, and they don't want to move more lazily.

This time there are several ovens used to grill skewers, and they are all filled with various skewers.

There were the most people around the two electric stoves, even Amy didn't know what she was talking to Zhou Qun, she collapsed on the bench beside her with a smile, Bella, Lu Cheng and Yang Dong were playing with each other, beer Most of the boxes are empty.

Xiao Cheng leaned on the railing not far away, held a glass of red wine, watched the group of people in front of him making noise, and didn't say much.

"Brother Qi!" Lu Cheng shouted from afar, asking if he would come to fight the landlord together.

Qi Ye smiled and waved his hand.

He himself contracted the entire charcoal stove in front of him, and he failed so many delicious skewers when playing cards.

At this time, the pork belly is sizzling with oil, dripping on the orange-red charcoal fire, which makes the flames flutter up.Qi Ye felt very satisfied when he looked at the vegetables and meat skewers that were fully placed.

Especially when I looked up and saw the handsome guy not far away, I was even more satisfied.

"Aren't you going to play a few rounds with them?" Xiao Cheng was concentrating on grilling skewers when Xiao Cheng came over at some point.

"I'll go after I'm full," Qi Ye said, "And if I go, it's just to get drunk, so it's better to be later."

Xiao Cheng smiled lightly: "Keep losing?"

"I suspect that kid Zhou Qun is cheating." Qi Ye turned the skewer over, "Otherwise, I would lose everything. After a few visits, I wouldn't bother to go as long as he called for playing cards during the holidays. "

Xiao Cheng just laughed when he heard Qi Ye's complaints. He took a sip of red wine and watched Qi Ye grill the skewers: "I don't know how to play cards either."

"Then I'll teach you next time." Qi Ye said with a smile, "Revenge me then."

He bent down to find condiments in the storage box, and added after a while: "However, playing cards also pays attention to the right time, place and people. During the festival, there are many masters with Zhou Qun. I definitely can't."

Listening to these words, Xiao Cheng seemed to have caught something: "Aren't you going home?"

"what?"

"Aren't you going back for the holidays?"

"I'm used to it." Qi Ye said, "I don't have a date, and I haven't made any big money. It would be scary to go back."

After saying this, an imperceptible look flashed across Xiao Cheng's eyes.

Before Qi Ye could continue talking, he heard Zhou Qun and the others were having a good time, and it seemed that they had changed a few more card games.

"Professor Xiao." Qi Ye yelled amidst the noise, then opened another beer and clinked glasses with Xiao Cheng slightly: "We are all of the same kind."

Xiao Cheng smiled: "How do you say?"

"It's just a holiday worker." Qi Ye said, "You don't go home during the holidays."

Xiao Cheng said "um": "I'm used to it too."

"But I didn't go home because I was afraid of urging the marriage." Qi Ye glanced at Xiao Cheng, trying to find out something, when he heard him say: "My parents are far away, so it's inconvenient to go back."

- Far away, this meaning is in place.

It can be physical distance, or other things, such as relationship distance or something.

Seeing this, Qi Ye was too embarrassed to ask any more questions, so he nodded and said, "It's really inconvenient."

After that, they stood in front of the oven like this and chatted a lot. When Xiao Cheng's cell phone rang and he went to answer the phone, Qi Ye focused on the skewers.

The culinary performance was good just now, and Professor Xiao didn't have to eat a bunch of burnt food.

After brushing the skewered raw chicken wings with teriyaki sauce and putting them on the oven, Qi Ye lost his mind again when he saw Xiao Cheng who was on the phone not far away.

Xiao Cheng's facial features are really beautiful, and the silver-rimmed glasses did not seal his supposed appearance. On the contrary, under the staggered night fog and lights, the outline is more prominent.

Like this, Qi Ye glanced at Xiao Cheng from time to time, looking at his figure on the phone.

When I came back to my senses, the chicken wings were almost burnt to carbon.

At this time, Xiao Cheng looked like he was about to end the call, and walked back a few steps.

Qi Ye looked at the chicken wings that had turned into black charcoal, and thought that he couldn't make such a fool, and besides, he roasted them like this because he watched Xiao Cheng.

I don't know if it's embarrassing or not, but Zhou Qun really can't stand it when he shouts out in such a loud voice.

So he quickly put on two skewers of raw chicken wings, holding the scorched chicken wings in his hand, and glanced at the trash can at Zhou Qun's place, and gnawed them clean.

——To describe this expression, it may be more appropriate to use the word tragic, or to say that death is as good as home.

Xiao Cheng came over with his mobile phone and glanced at Qi Ye who was drinking water: "What's wrong?"

"No, it's nothing." Qi Ye smiled, and threw the two sticks into the trash can, "It's hot to eat chicken wings."

Well, my face started to burn again.

Qi Ye didn't know Xiao Cheng's expression now, but he could see from the smiling brows that Professor Xiao might have seen through it long ago.

"Drink it slowly, if it's not enough, there's more here."

Xiao Cheng didn't intend to continue teasing him, he bent down and took out a paper cup from under the shelf, and poured Qi Ye a glass of lemonade.

At this moment, a firework suddenly exploded in the sky, accompanied by dots of bright colors, embellishing the entire dark sky transparently and brightly.

The crowd started to cheer.

Qi Ye put down his water glass, looked at the fireworks and said, "I haven't seen such fireworks for a long time."

"What about before?"

"Small county towns can't help this thing, the New Year's Eve is very atmospheric." Qi Ye smiled, "It's just a pity that after coming here to study, you can't set off fireworks, and I haven't seen it many times."

He paused for a few seconds, and the fireworks in the sky bloomed more brilliantly at this time.

Not to mention, the atmosphere and the fireworks reminded Qi Ye of a scene introduced on TV.

"Professor Xiao." Qi Ye looked at Xiao Cheng, his outline was outlined by fireworks, "Have you ever been to Japan?"

Xiao Cheng was slightly taken aback, then nodded: "I've been there before for performances."

"I heard that the summer festival there is really nice." Qi Ye put the skewers on the plate and looked up at the sky. "Besides the fireworks, there are many other fun and delicious things, and it's quite lively."

Before he finished speaking, more dense fireworks rose, bloomed, and fell in the sky.

Even the surrounding noises were hidden behind the roaring noise, and nothing could be heard clearly.

So Qi Ye didn't speak any more, he and Xiao Cheng stood in front of the railing, quietly watching the grand fiery trees and silver flowers staged in the sky together.

At this moment, Xiao Cheng suddenly said something softly.

His voice was hidden in the din of the fireworks, and at the same time mixed with the noise of the crowd, probably hardly heard by anyone present except himself.

But for some reason, Qi Ye, who is prone to confusion, could hear clearly this time——

He said: "If possible in the future, let's go to Tokyo to watch the fireworks together."
