Lingering heart palpitations

It was already 09:30 after the refreshments, Xu Zixin went to pay the bill first, Yu Jing walked behind, and was suddenly stopped by a few girls.

A few girls who were waiting for the elevator downstairs also entered the store at some point.

A cute-looking girl in a lambswool jacket patted Lingering Fear on the shoulder.

"Hi, can you delay for a while?" The small and cute girl, with long and curled eyelashes and dog eyes, made it hard to refuse when she smiled.

Yu Ji stood firm and asked politely, "Well, what's the matter?"

The other party held a mobile phone wrapped in a beautiful mobile phone case in his hand, and pointed to the counter in the store, "I saw you and your friend while waiting for the elevator just now, can I ask you for your friend's contact information? I am very happy I like his type."

In fact, Yu Ji probably guessed what she meant before the other party spoke, but still didn't know how to respond to her......

Compared to this, he cares a bit...

Like this type?

"What type is he...?"

The cute girl was taken aback, as if she didn't expect him to ask such a question.

Yu Ji was stunned, unexpectedly asked what was in his heart.

"Just..." The girl rolled her eyes and thought carefully, "It's tall, it can give people a sense of security, and it seems to be very caring."

"Yeah." He nodded, wanting to end the question silently.

"Does he have a girlfriend?" The other party continued to ask.

"........"

Before Yu Ji could figure out how to answer, Xu Zixin had already turned back after paying the bill. He obviously saw that he was stopped by those girls, so he strode over aggressively and grabbed Yu Ji's left hand. , Interlocking fingers.

"Don't ask him for his contact information! He already has a partner who has agreed to go to college together and live together forever!"

Just after saying this, he turned and left with lingering fear.

Among the few girls behind her was a bold one who yelled loudly, "It's not for him, it's for you!"

Xu Zixin took two steps, but stopped, turned around and glanced at the girls seriously.

The cute girl pursed her lips and smiled.

"No," he replied very seriously, "you are not as good-looking as my partner."

After saying this, he walked away without looking back.

Yu Ji vaguely heard a girl say, "Damn, are you so demanding?", and couldn't help laughing out loud.

The two of them had already walked to the lobby of the movie theater. Since it was the weekend, there were not many people there, but Xu Zixin still didn't let go of his hand.

Yu Jing was still laughing, almost unable to straighten up.

"...Why are you still laughing?" Xu Zixin pulled him to stand up straight, looking at his face with some uncertainty, "I'm not wrong, we're going to college together, and we're going to live together— —”

"...." Yu Ji was still laughing, and the corners of his eyes were a little moist, "No... I heard a girl behind me say that you are demanding, so I suddenly found it very funny."

"...Am I demanding?" Xu Zixin asked back.

Yu Ji finally stopped laughing, pulled out the hand tightly held by the other party, and asked him with a smile, "I don't know, I have to ask you."

"I think it's about dividing people." Xu Zixin looked serious.

"Huh? How to divide?" Yu Ji asked.

Xu Zixin stretched out two fingers, "There are two situations."

Yu Ji nodded.

"If it's you, whatever—"

"If not, then my condition is you."

"..." Yu Ji was stunned for a moment, the tips of his ears turned red, and he stretched out his hand to give him a slight push.

"Okay, let's go get some popcorn."

"Hey, you're blushing."

"To shut up"

"Actually, I just rehearsed in my mind whether I should come directly to hug you—"

"......"

"It's so annoying, can't you see the vibe that we're glued to each other?"

"......"

-

After leaving the morning tea shop, Yu Ran said that he wanted to go to the third floor for a stroll, but he was stalling for time, waiting for 2 minutes before checking the ticket and entering the venue.

The lights in the hall have been dimmed.

Yu Ran and Bai Qinglang walked up the soft steps in the dark, and the latter gently held her arm in case he couldn't see clearly and fell.

"Here we are, row sixteen."

There are not many films scheduled for this movie, and there are not many people in the hall.

In the last row, there were only two people in the innermost row.

There are only two in the front row...

? ?

Bai Qinglang walked behind those two people. Although the light was very weak, he still recognized Xu Zixin.

He was so startled that he almost reached out to cover Yu Ran's eyes.

Fortunately, their seats were not close to each other, and Yu Ji seemed to be looking at it very seriously, so he didn't notice this side at all.

"Four Springs" is a documentary, mostly daily life, telling what happened to his parents in four springs, it is a home video.

The movie is real and comfortable. Although there are not too grand scenes, the peaceful, gentle and world-integrated fireworks in the movie are the life itself that contains thousands of things.

But halfway through the film, some viewers who "chosen the wrong film" left one after another.

But there were still half of the audience left.

Yu Ran has been watching very seriously, but from time to time he has to look diagonally forward, not knowing what he is looking at.

Bai Qinglang paid attention to her little movements, seeing her looking at the same place regularly, he knew in his heart that she must have seen those two people.

But he was a little uncertain, Yu Ran had already seen it, and still felt familiar.

"What... are you looking at?" Bai Qinglang asked out loud.

Yu Ran shook his head and said nothing.

........

Bai Qinglang was about to take out his phone to send a message to Xu Zixin, but before he turned on the screen, a sticky, obviously suppressed groan suddenly came out from the innermost part of the last row.

He shook his hand and almost dropped the phone, subconsciously looking at the innermost couple hidden in the shadows.

Those two seats were separated by an aisle from the middle seat in the last row.

There are about six seats and an aisle between him and the other side. After meeting each other, he realized that the two people sitting in the innermost place were stacked together, like Siamese twins, and there was a sound of forbearance from time to time.

Maybe it was because the voice was too loud, even Yu Ji, who was sitting in the bottom two row, turned his head.

"Oops"

When Bai Qinglang heard Yu Ran let out a low cry, he also subconsciously looked towards Yu Ji, and unexpectedly met him face to face.

At this moment, the couple in the corner were still making quite loud noises, making one's scalp tingle.

Yu Ran subconsciously bent down and jumped onto the empty seat next door, but was blocked by the armrest, she turned around and jumped onto Bai Qinglang's lap.

Just now, for the convenience of taking popcorn, Bai Qinglang folded the armrest between the two of them.

Bai Qinglang: "..."

Yu Ran lay obediently on her stomach, motionless, hoping that she hadn't seen her just now.

I don't know if she was overly shocked, but Bai Qinglang didn't move. The two of them stayed in silence for 2 minutes, only hearing the lover in the corner. She just wanted to raise her head to check the situation, when a familiar voice sounded above her head. , cold, unlike the usual indifferent and gentle.

"Yu Ran"

The person whose name was called was shocked.

"How long are you going to lie on his lap?"

10 minute later.

The four people who hadn't finished watching the movie sat face to face in a barbecue shop.

The atmosphere is a little weird.

The waiters put their order on the table one by one, surrounded by the faint scent of oolong white peach tea.

The electric grill is already hot, and no one is grilling the meat.

The waiter asked Xu Zixin, the only one on the table with a slightly relaxed expression, "May I have some barbecue?"

He waved his hand, "No, we will do it ourselves."

"Okay, if you need anything, please press the blue button next to the table, I wish you a pleasant meal."

After dismissing the waiter, there was less rustling of plates on the table, which made it even more embarrassing for no reason.

The corners of Yu Ji's mouth were tense, holding back his anger, and he stared at Yu Ran who was sitting across from him without blinking.

The latter didn't feel that he had done anything wrong, so he straightened his neck and stared at Xu Zixin next to him from time to time.

Bai Qinglang's eyes wandered over the two brothers and sisters, and he didn't seem to feel any pressure, but he didn't know what he was thinking about.

"Buzz..."

The mobile phone that was casually placed on the marble table vibrated twice, and Bai Qinglang's mobile phone received a WeChat message.

From Xu Zixin who was sitting opposite.

Bai Qinglang frowned, glanced at the person opposite him who was looking at him with raised eyebrows maliciously, unlocked the phone and looked at the message.

There is a smirk in front of it, followed by a sentence, "You are promising, I dare not play like this—"

"......"

Bai Qinglang almost spit out a mouthful of tea from his mouth.

What kind of crap is in your fucking mind? ?

"roll"

The baking tray has been heated for some time, but there is still no one on the table.

After another 3 minutes, Yu Ji took a plate of pork belly at hand, clamped it with tongs, and spread it evenly on the pot. The fatty pork belly was placed on the plate, making a sizzling sound, easing the tense atmosphere.

Yu Ran then took a plate of snowflake beef and wanted to put it down, but was stopped by Yu Ji's voice.

"Put the beef in later, it won't fit in the pot, so get some vegetables."

Yu Ran obediently put down the plate, took a plate of Pleurotus eryngii mushrooms, and put down a few slices.

Yu Ji didn't want to talk about Yu Ran in front of others, so he suppressed his anger for now.

At this time, the waiter brought up the drinks they ordered.

They ordered a jug of freshly squeezed juice and a can of Coke.

Xu Zixin picked up the Coke first and asked, "Who ordered this?"

"Give it to me", Bai Qinglang reached out to take it, pulled the ring naturally, and handed it to Yu Ran, who thanked him and poured the Coke into the cup.

Xu Zixin was asking Yu Ji to hand him a cup of juice, but before he could take the cup, the other party put down the cup in his hand with a "snap", took a deep breath, and finally couldn't help looking angrily at the person across the table.

"Yu Ran" he called out.

"You had three cavities filled last month."

"..." The person who was called was taken aback for a moment, he didn't expect him to say this suddenly, he was a little embarrassed, "...what's wrong?"

"What coke do you drink? How many more cavities do you want?"

Yu Ran was a little guilty, but more because she was a little annoyed at the fact that others said she had tooth decay. She took out a small bottle from her bag and replied angrily, "I brought mouthwash."

It's okay not to say, Yu Ji seemed to be even angrier when he saw that thing, "Why do you need to rinse your mouth when you meet him? What do you want to do?"

Bai Qinglang's eyelids twitched.

Yu Ran didn't understand his brain circuit, and felt that the other party was making a big fuss, "Why not? You have to use everything you eat—"

Yu Ji let out a low laugh, but the corners of his tensed mouth did not relax at all, "Now that you are promising, you still lie to me and come out on a date?"

It's true that you're lying, but——

Yu Ran pointed a finger at Xu Zixin.

"Brother, you're half-baked too. Didn't you keep it from me when you were with him?"

Fortunately, the box they sat in has good enough sound insulation.

Xu Zixin and Bai Qinglang left the private room in good time, leaving them a suitable space.

I was stunned for a moment, feeling my brain suddenly congested.

He thought about how to tell Yu Ran many times, there are many other ways, the only one is not this kind of embarrassing being caught on the spot, he was not ready.

As an older brother for so many years, there are more or less personal emotions that he wants to hide as much as possible, and some things that he can't let go have not been adjusted, but at this moment, his whole mind is messed up.

Don't even know what I'm talking about.

"Why should I report to you?" His eyes were a little red, and his throat was a little hoarse.

Yu Ran also exploded.

Because of family changes since they were young, the two of them grew up with each other. This joint effort was never paid by one person alone. It was the support of growing up and the result of a common destiny.

"Then why should I report to you?"

"Is that the same? I'm your brother, of course I should know."

"Just because you are two years older than me?"

"Aren't we all like this since we were young? I want to take care of you."

She spilled the coke in Yu Ran's hand, but neither of them noticed.

Yu Ran was trembling a little, his eyes were rounded, as if he was holding back something but he couldn't.

A tear overflowed from the corner of her eye, and she stood up, "You are like this every time..." Every word seemed to be squeezed out between teeth.

"Every time you say you want to take care of me, take care of me, but you don't say a word about your own affairs... I don't understand anything, but you don't tell me about such important things, do you think you can always take care of me?" Look at me, but I'm not qualified to meddle in your affairs?"

she knows.

Yu Ran knew about Yu Ji's sexual orientation from a long time ago, but he never asked about it, and he also pretended not to know.

No matter how close a family member is, there are boundaries, and she respects him.

But it is impossible not to have doubts in my heart, that is the closest person since I was a child, and sometimes the lingering fear is not like a brother, but more like a father, always walking in front of her, giving her proper guidance in everything, but in some Some kind of inaccessibility is born in the place, he seems to have his own "adult" thoughts, she can't intervene.

But Yu Ran also wanted to know what happened to the person closest to her recently. She didn't want to interfere, but just wanted to know the situation so she could feel at ease, as if using such a roundabout way today was not flattering.

"I didn't lie on purpose that I came out on a date—" Yu Ran raised his sleeve and wiped his eyes from time to time, causing a lot of red spots, "I just wanted to see how you are...and you found out .”

Yu Ji was silent for a while, and when he spoke again, he urged her to wipe her nose.

"Wipe it, it's almost coming out."

"......"

"So these are all things you had in mind from the beginning—"

"Yeah." Yu Ran wiped his nose and nodded.

"When did you... know." Yu Ji hesitated and said.

Yu Ran was still very clear-headed, and asked back, "Knowing about you and Xu Zixin, or knowing that you like boys?"

"...Me and Xu Zixin."

Get angry about this.

Yu Ran resentfully threw the used tissues into the trash can, with a strong nasal voice, "I knew... Xu Zixin pesters you every day, who on our floor can't see... .Every day you laugh with ill intentions, and you didn't long ago..." She didn't say the following words.

Yu Jing was a little uncomfortable, he didn't expect Yu Ran to know this, walked over and patted her on the head vigorously, and helped up the cola cup that had fallen down.

The pork belly in the pot was already mushy.

"I don't think you can't meddle in my affairs." Yu Ji sat next to her and calmed down again. "I just don't know how to say it. This matter itself was beyond my expectation."

"Sometimes I don't want you to know the bad side of me, do you understand?"

Just like Yu Ran's feelings, Yu Jing deliberately tried to stay ahead of her. He was sensible earlier than Yu Ran, and he understood the emotional setbacks caused by family changes all the time, so he deliberately put himself in the position of a parent. He hoped to fill Yu Ran's vacancy. On the other hand, he was afraid of bringing bad things to her like his parents did.

Yu Ran stopped her tears and said seriously, "Who does brother like, what's wrong? I will never feel bad about what you like."

Yu Jing's heart skipped a beat, and he felt a long-lost peace of mind.Ever since he 'let' himself follow his heart, there has been a certain unsettling sense of floating in a cloud.

He showed a smile, and interrupted gently, "But Xu Zixin said that you look coldly at him every day—"

"..." Yu Ran was taken aback for a moment, showing an unhappy expression, "Can it be the same? He's so annoying——"

"Why is he angry?" Yu Ji asked her with interest, resting his chin on one hand.

Yu Ran raised his eyes to look at Yu Jing's face, and said, "You wear contact lenses just to date him, isn't it annoying?"

"??" Now it's Yu Ji's turn to be unable to understand Yu Ran's brain circuit.
