Banshuharu

In the next few days, Pingqiu really experienced what it means to live like a year.

Because he was aware of the situation at Xu Xiuyuan's family, and he himself was still afraid of Xu Xiangnan and his wife, so he didn't dare to contact Xu Xiuyuan casually. Usually, Xu Xiuyuan pulled away from the hospital and contacted him when he was free.As for what they talked about, sometimes Pingqiu listened to Xu Xiuyuan briefly explaining his mother's condition, and sometimes Xu Xiuyuan listened to Pingqiu talking about the difficulties in work.

Fortunately, Pingqiu's colleagues are all friendly, and the work handover went smoothly, and when the time came, he would retire.The only thorny issue is the issue of the rental house, the landlord is not willing to accommodate, and the other rental house has not been resolved, which makes Pingqiu feel a little headache.

Xu Xiuyuan said that he doesn't need to worry about renting a house, and he will arrange for Pingqiu to live in his friend's rented apartment in Beijing, which is very close to his school. He and his friend have already agreed in advance that only Pingqiu's people will go.Ping Qiu agreed, but in fact he felt a little awkward, he laughed at himself as Xu Xiuyuan's brother and boyfriend, it was rare for him to boldly break through the boring life at the moment, it seemed to be full of drive, but in the end Xu Xiuyuan still had to take care of everything for him.

As for Xu Xiuyuan, it was far from easy.Originally, according to what Xu Xiuyuan said, he planned to stay at home until the middle and late August. If all went well, he would go to Pingqiu's place first, and the two of them would set off for the north together.But from his few words, Pingqiu guessed that he encountered obstacles, probably because his parents were extremely dissatisfied with everything he set up on his own.

In fact, it's not far off.Xu Xiuyuan's trip home this time, on the surface, his graduation trip was interrupted, but in fact, everyone knew it well: he ran away secretly and was forcibly recruited back.

Of course, the parents were furious, especially Xu Xiangnan, who said that he hadn't seen anyone for most of the summer vacation, and that such an important decision on the college entrance examination was entirely up to him. He still had parents in his eyes. If not, why would he be hypocritical at this time? It doesn't matter how far you fly, and it's a shame to return if your wings are stiff.

When Xu Xiangnan was young, her family was poor, her parents were farmers, and she had three younger brothers and sisters who were waiting to be fed. Therefore, she dropped out of school early and worked as a female worker in a factory workshop in the county.Later, I met Fang Haichang. The young couple had a hard time, carrying cement bags and setting up a fruit stand. Later, they borrowed money to rent a store to sell chemical fertilizers, and later opened a private garment factory. They gradually had some savings on hand.

The eldest son, Xu Ruiyang, is in their 20s and was actively preparing for pregnancy. The family cherishes it very much. However, the child is spoiled and has a mediocre education. Instead, he climbs trees and digs out bird nests every day, like a monkey.So that little hope was naturally pinned on the second youngest son who was born due to an accidental pregnancy.

Those Xu Xiuyuan sold to Pingqiu are true or false, but he said that before he was born, Xu Xiangnan had already learned about Fang Haichang's infidelity in marriage, but it was not false at all.

Fang Haichang is determined to protect his family. After all, he appears to be a factory owner, but his wife Xu Xiangnan always has the right to speak.What's more, after Xu Xiangnan got married, in order to follow the fashion, he specially imitated other new women and made a "property agreement" for him. 5.00% of income.

Fang Haichang hated that his wife was shrewd and greedy, but at that time he focused on his family, so he could only sneer at this agreement, even thinking that Xu Xiangnan made a fuss, so he signed his name quickly to show his loyalty, and he didn't regret it until he smelled wild flowers outside. Caught on the bed, in front of his son and mother, he knelt down and begged Xu Xiangnan with tears and snot all over his face.

At that time, Xu Xiangnan already knew that she was pregnant with Xu Xiuyuan, and Fang Haichang's old mother was also begging for tears. Although she didn't believe that the man who ate it secretly would sew his mouth, she didn't want to make it too ugly, so the lion big He asked Fang Haichang to transfer the house to her name, so he gave up.

It can be seen from this that Xu Xiangnan is definitely not waiting for nothing.

As a mother and son with her, Xu Xiuyuan loves and hates her, admires and guards against her.When he was young, if Xu Xiangnan turned his face down, Xu Xiuyuan would be in a state of panic all day long, fearing that something would upset her, and in exchange for a severe beating.It's just that he is no longer a young and ignorant child after all, his temper is inherited from Xu Xiangnan, stubborn and hard, bold and greedy, and the prey that has bitten his mouth will never be let go.

Xu Xiangnan hates him for challenging his authority as a mother. Even if he approves his application for the college entrance examination, when it comes to his lips, he still mocks him as a child who pretends to be an adult. His wings are stiff and he flies around. Sooner or later, someone will hit his wings with a slingshot. Fall hard.

Seeing that Xu Xiuyuan looked like a good boy who let her be beaten and scolded again, Xu Xiangnan could only keep more evil words in his mouth, and he couldn't escape half of them. Finally, he said angrily: "When does school start?"

"Mid-September." Xu Xiuyuan replied.

"Do you want to pay the money? Who do you want to pay? Since you are so good, you will earn all the tuition and living expenses by yourself in the future, and pay by yourself. What else can I do with you? I will use it as a cash machine for you. I will transfer a lot of money to you, who knows where you can use it!"

Xu Xiuyuan lowered his head slightly, and continued to peel the apples without stopping.The apple peel grew into long streaks, his complexion did not change, and his knife skills were very steady.

After venting, without listening to Xu Xiuyuan's rebuttal, the anger in Xu Xiangnan's heart disappeared a lot.Unlike her elder brother Xu Ruiyang, Xu Xiuyuan has always been an obedient and well-behaved one. He has excellent grades since childhood and a calm personality, which relieved her a lot of burden.In return, she is also willing to give him more rewards.

"Here, there is 5 yuan in it. After paying the tuition fees, the rest will be used as your living expenses," Xu Xiangnan said. "Big cities are no different than ours. You need money everywhere. I don't know the exact amount. I haven't been there before. You can spend more, usually save flowers...take it!"

"I don't need it," Xu Xiuyuan refused to answer, and continued to peel the apple, "I have money myself."

"Just hold it if you tell me, pretend to be rich."

"I don't use money from my family, I will earn it myself."

"Hold it!" Xu Xiangnan was annoyed, and the bank card fell off the ground, and the card scratched the side of Xu Xiuyuan's face, causing him to tilt his hand and the apple peel broke.

Xu Xiuyuan kept silent, picked up the fruit peel that fell at his feet and threw it into the trash can, looked up and saw Xu Xiangnan was wrapped in gauze half of his face, with one leg still hanging, he didn't want to make her angry anymore, so he had to pick up the bank card again , into the pocket.

"When you become an adult, you don't need me to care about it?" Xu Xiangnan was full of anger, and waited for the younger son to come back, pointing at his forehead and swearing, "Don't say you just graduated, you still have to study." University, even if you have graduated from university and are working, you still need me to support you! Otherwise, where did you get the money to start a business, and whoever gave you the capital, it was your mother and I who gave it to you! I just learned to walk, but I thought about it Run away, where can your two legs go, you still want me to support you!"

"Thank you mom." Xu Xiuyuan wisely didn't retort at this time, let alone it was useless, he would rather continue to be a good kid in front of Xu Xiangnan, at least he was much more obedient than Xu Ruiyang, this was his way of life.

From the beginning to the end, Xu Ruiyang stood by the window of the ward and watched the mother and son. He watched Xu Xiuyuan pretending to be filial at his mother's knee with cold eyes. In fact, he laughed at him for pretending since he was a child, such as being an obedient uncle in front of relatives. Auntie is good, but secretly put some expired rotten tea in the teacup for others.

Once caught by Xu Ruiyang, Xu Xiuyuan was holding a kettle to pour hot water into a cup.Xu Ruiyang didn't stop him, the reason was that he also hated those good relatives who didn't come to the house for anything and wanted to get in touch with each other. When Xu Xiuyuan walked by with a plate, he whispered in his ear: Chameleon.

At that time, Xu Ruiyang was in junior high school, and there was an article written by a Russian writer in his textbook.Even though he never took the class seriously, he knew what a chameleon was.So he thought at that time: Xu Xiuyuan is a chameleon, sometimes he is very obedient, and sometimes he is very bad-mannered.

Xu Ruiyang finally said: "If I give you money, you still pretend to be rich and don't take it? Who would think it's too much money? Could it be that the money in your hand is now equal to what the family earns?"

"What's the matter with you?" Before Xu Xiuyuan opened his mouth, Xu Xiangnan turned his head and scolded, "I told you to go back soon, you have time to spend with me, why don't you go and see Yan Hua, you are a husband, can you have some snacks? "

Xu Xiuyuan seemed unintentional and said, "Sister-in-law is about to give birth, is she due next month?"

"On the tenth day of next month, it will be dangerous for a few days before and after." Xu Xiangnan frowned, "How long has she moved back to her mother's house? Look at your brother, can you visit once a week? People's parents will say yes Our family has treated their precious daughter harshly, and your brother is just like a normal person, busy with work every day, but not at home."

"Then you really have to watch it closely, in case something goes wrong."

"Have you heard, your brother knows better than you. Your wife has suffered for ten months, but you have been relieved for ten months. Speaking of it, it seems that this child is not yours. You are a husband and a father. Don't care?" Xu Xiangnan sneered, "Sure enough, the son follows his father, they are all bad breeds, and they have no conscience."

Slowly scraping off the remaining peel at the bottom of the apple, a faint smile appeared on Xu Xiuyuan's face.From the corner of his eye, he caught sight of Xu Ruiyang's leather shoes approaching, kicked them twice, and stood beside him.

Xu Xiuyuan stood still, and suddenly under a shadow, it was Xu Ruiyang who bent down, stretched his hand over his head, and pulled out two tissues from the bedside table: "Okay, I will listen to you, and now I will go to her house to accompany my wife and children."

As the footsteps faded away, Xu Xiuyuan handed the rounded apple to Xu Xiangnan. She shook her head and refused, so he took a bite himself.

When I was about to take a second bite, there was a sound of the door opening.Xu Ruiyang didn't leave yet, but turned around and reminded: "Mom, you didn't believe what I told you before, but now Xu Xiuyuan is right in front of you, you can ask yourself."

The appointment with the landlady was in the evening at home.Ping Qiu got off work early and waited at home until the other party came to the door on time.

The landlady is a very fashionable little old lady, her silver hair is combed meticulously, and she has a small foreign bag on her arm. She walked around the rental house twice, as if to make sure that she, the tenant, took the house. There was a problem, so I was in a hurry to check out and escape.

But in the end, she didn't see anything wrong, and her doubts gradually disappeared.And look at Pingqiu's handsome appearance, no matter how much the two of them disagreed on the phone before, he just said sorry gently, and repeatedly explained that he quit the rent for personal reasons, thinking that it is not easy for young people to come out and work hard, let alone her Not short of this little money, he finally relented and paid back Pingqiu's rent for three months.

Although three months' rent is not a lot of money to her, it is very rare to Pingqiu.He has confirmed the savings in his hand, and every time he enters the account, he will have more confidence in his heart, and every time he thinks that he will go to create a new life with Xu Xiuyuan, this confidence will gradually turn into sweetness.

The sweeter his heart was, the more Pingqiu missed Xu Xiuyuan, but he didn't dare to call him, let alone ask him when he was going to come back on the phone. At that time, maybe a certain elder of their Xu family or Xu Ruiyang was standing in front of him, Ping Qiu would feel ashamed.

Strange to say, people are afraid of being alone.Obviously before Xu Xiuyuan, even before Lu Yang, Pingqiu had experienced loneliness and loneliness, but he was greedy, and once he had tasted the sweetness, he was unwilling to go back to the time when he was alone again.

Nothing is more certain than this time, Ping Qiu thought, he misses Xu Xiuyuan.

That night, Fang Haichang didn't show up during the day, but came to say that he wanted to stay in bed at night, drive away Xu Xiuyuan, and specially asked Xu Ruiyang who was nearby to come and pick him up.

Before leaving, Xu Xiuyuan bid farewell to Xu Xiangnan, but Xu Xiangnan kept turning his head, with a cold face as if he couldn't see him.Fang Haichang wanted to persuade her, but was pushed hard instead.Fang Haichang didn't dare to do anything wrong with his wife's face, so he had to urge Xu Xiuyuan to leave quickly.

Xu Xiangnan was admitted to the only Chinese-foreign joint hospital in Lin County, and the surrounding environment is quiet.In the cool breeze at night, Xu Xiuyuan was waiting for the car at the entrance of the inpatient department, while looking through the chat records of Pingqiu.

In the past two years, Xu Ruiyang's business has been considered successful, and his wife Cao Yanhua has a wealthy family. Although the two had a flash love and marriage, but with Cao Yanhua's pregnancy, Xu Xiangnan, who was not optimistic about the new couple, slowly relaxed.As for the reason why Xu Xiangnan didn't agree to the marriage of the two at the beginning, it was just that she didn't like Cao Yanhua and thought that the new daughter-in-law was too tricky and not conducive to her control.

And it turns out that's true.After the couple got married, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law Cao Yanhua and Xu Xiangnan had frequent disputes.In the worst incident, Cao Yanhua even threw something in front of Xu Xiangnan.

That was about the second half of last year.At that weekend, Xu Xiuyuan was at home on vacation, and when he was lying on the bed looking at Pingqiu's Moments, he heard a crisp sound downstairs, followed by Cao Yanhua's scream.He hurried out to take a look, only to see the back of Cao Yanhua striding away.Xu Xiangnan was left holding his heart and scolding her for being unfilial, and there was Xu Ruiyang standing next to him, idly flicking the tassels hanging from the armrest of the sofa, with only one sentence of comfort: I have no relationship with her, you didn't ask me to marry her ?

So from then on, Xu Xiuyuan knew that Xu Ruiyang might have lowered his head, but he hadn't knelt down in front of Xu Xiangnan - which also meant that he couldn't wait any longer.

But it's also strange that the relationship between Cao Yanhua and Xu Xiangnan is incompatible, and her attitude towards her husband and father-in-law is not friendly, but she is still polite to her brother-in-law Xu Xiuyuan.

The white car stopped in front of him, the window of the passenger seat was lowered, Cao Yanhua showed up and smiled at him: "Get in the car, the back."

Xu Xiuyuan called her sister-in-law, opened the door and got into the back seat, thinking that Xu Ruiyang got a new car in less than a month.

"I'm staying at my house this month, so I don't know what's going on in your house," Cao Yanhua looked at Xu Xiuyuan in the rearview mirror, "You haven't been home these days, where have you been? Your mother must be mad."

"travel."

"I'm in a good mood, where did you travel?"

"Go wherever you want, wherever you want."

"Is your mother willing to give you money?" Cao Yanhua turned to look at him, "It seems to be a little tanned, and your face is thinner. What's wrong with your neck, such a big red mark?"

"It was accidentally hot."

"You can't be careful, unless you deliberately stick your head over and let others pour it on."

"It's my mother."

Cao Yanhua was taken aback for a moment, then laughed: "I knew it was her. You brothers, don't blame me for being poisonous. Your mother may be a little crazy. She is not crazy like a psychopath. She just wants to control, what? You have to hold it in your hands to feel at ease, husband, property, and you two brothers. I have already said that if you have this kind of mother, you can run as long as you can."

"Lean back," Xu Ruiyang frowned suddenly, "It's blocking the rearview mirror."

"Believe it or not." Cao Yanhua leaned back leisurely, lowered his head to play with his phone for a while, then took out some snacks from the interlayer and handed them to Xu Xiuyuan.

Xu Xiuyuan thanked him, slowly peeled a piece of nougat and put it in his mouth—it was too sticky.

In the early years, Xu Xiangnan happened to have a small amount of money in the development of real estate in the eastern district of Lin County. Regardless of Fang Haichang's obstruction, she bought it like a ticket.

One of them was her wedding room, and it was transferred to Xu Ruiyang and Cao Yanhua, and the other one was kept by her family.The old house in the country has now been used as a factory warehouse, and Xu Xiuyuan's room is even used as a utility room for storing tools. There are many childhood things in it. not see.

However, Xu Ruiyang and Cao Yanhua only lived in the wedding room for a few days in the first month after their marriage.For most of the time after that, Xu Ruiyang used work as an excuse to live in the studio, not to mention Cao Yanhua, she had several houses in her hand that could be rented, and she didn't worry about having no place to live.

The husband and wife spend very little time together, Xu Xiangnan even suspected that they were playing a show, they didn't look like husband and wife, and they still lived their own lives.So when he heard that Cao Yanhua was pregnant, Xu Xiangnan's first reaction was to wonder if the baby in her belly belonged to Xu Ruiyang.

Xu Ruiyang has a clear attitude towards this, repeating again and again that this is Cao Yanhua's child, he and Cao Yanhua's child - at least in a legal sense, it is true.

Afterwards, the child became Cao Yanhua's reason for not staying at home. She spent most of her time living outside and was taken care of by her own mother, not to mention Xu Xiangnan, a troublesome mother-in-law.The relationship between mother-in-law and daughter-in-law is even more difficult.

After arriving home, Xu Xiuyuan got out of the car, Cao Yanhua stopped him, and handed him a bottle of perfume, saying that it was just bought from a friend's store, and it was very suitable for young boys.She just got it today and hasn't used it yet, so she gave it to him as a gift.

Xu Xiuyuan did not refuse.When he reached out to take it, he saw Cao Yanhua's protruding belly, a big bulging lump, as if a huge tumor had grown on his body.

The car turned around, and Xu Ruiyang sent Cao Yanhua home.No one spoke along the way, so he glanced at his wife who was focused on playing with his mobile phone, and asked her, "I don't think I've ever asked, but you and Xu Xiuyuan have a good relationship?"

"Yeah, I really like your brother." Cao Yanhua said perfunctorily.

"Which one do you like?"

"you guess."

"I always thought you hated our family very much."

"It's very annoying," Cao Yanhua glanced at him, "Because your whole family is crazy, and only your younger brother has a normal mind."

"Really?" Xu Ruiyang smiled, "Doesn't that mean that he is actually the most abnormal one?"

"What do you want to say?"

"I have nothing to say... What are you going to do when the child is born?"

"Don't worry, I can't rely on you. My mother has taken care of everything. We will take our children abroad. The divorce agreement will be passed on to you at that time, and you won't be delayed for a minute. At that time, we will all be free, you love Do whatever you want."

"I do not mind."

"Of course you don't care," Cao Yanhua said with a smile, "the child is not yours."

Waking up again from a nightmare, Pingqiu sneezed and touched his arm, feeling a little cold.He got out of bed and brushed aside all the curtains that were blowing in the wind, opened the window even more, and stretched out his hand to check it out, but he didn't feel any water droplets, it seemed that the rain had stopped.

At dawn, there was a gleam of light in the sky.As soon as the cool breeze blew, Pingqiu's drowsy drowsiness gradually receded. He stared outside for a while, and finally closed the window. He went to the kitchen and poured a glass of water. Looking at his phone, there was a missed call from Xu Xiuyuan.

It's all because I went to bed too early last night, my phone was turned off on silent, and I happened to miss the call.Pingqiu was very anxious, wanted to call back, but also thought that it was too early, Xu Xiuyuan might still be asleep, so he couldn't help but was anxious and nervous, and started spinning in a normal way.

Lie on the sofa and watch a movie, doze off, and wake up at 07:30 in the morning.Ping Qiu hurriedly got up and wiped his eyes, but he still didn't dare to call directly, so he sent a message to Xu Xiuyuan first, asking him why he called last night and whether there was something wrong, waiting for his call back.

Hearing the bell ringing while washing, Ping Qiu was brushing his teeth while flicking Xu Xiuyuan's washing cup with one finger boredly.Hearing the sound, he hurried to the living room, and it turned out to be Xu Xiuyuan's call.

"Are you up?" Xu Xiuyuan spoke nasally, probably just waking up.

"Just got up."

"Go to work now?"

"After a while, I didn't go very early in the past two days, and the school was not busy, so there was actually nothing to do."

"Want me to come back to accompany you?" Xu Xiuyuan said lazily, "I want to go back, but I can't."

"... Where's your mother, is your health much better?"

"It doesn't look like a serious problem, anyway, you can still scold me and beat me."

"Don't say that," Ping Qiu smiled, "You called me after twelve o'clock last night, were you still awake at that time? Did you sleep late these days? Are you busy at home? "

"No, half asleep, I dreamed of you, so I called you."

"..."

"Why don't you talk?"

Pingqiu picked at the seam of his trousers with his fingers, hesitating to say: "I have a flight the day after tomorrow, so I may have to go over to see the work situation first. The interview time they set cannot be changed, so..."

"I know, I don't regret it," Xu Xiuyuan said, "You just have to wait for me."

There was never a need to draft words to appease Pingqiu, but Xu Xiuyuan knew very well that it was obviously whimsical to sneak under Xu Xiangnan's nose under the current situation.He had no choice but to hold his breath.

In addition, Fang Haichang was also thinking about his youngest son's college banquet. The places of relatives and teachers were all listed on the list, and he handed it to Xu Xiangnan, but she was ridiculed and ridiculed, still in front of his son.

Fang Haichang couldn't hold back, but still wanted to restore the relationship between husband and wife, so he lowered his eyebrows and said pleasingly: "Ruiyang had a drink when he was in college, but if he doesn't do it this time, what do you make Xiuyuan think?"

"Don't mention that to me!" Xu Xiangnan interrupted with a harsh voice, which made Xu Xiuyuan's brows twitch.

Every time I think that she was the one who rushed to hold a college banquet for Xu Ruiyang back then, and it was she who took the initiative to ask Xu Ruiyang's best "friend" Ping Qiu to come on stage, treated him as the fifth member of the family, and took him to take pictures with him intimately, He also told him and Xu Ruiyang to remember to keep in touch with each other and help each other when they went to college - every time Xu Xiangnan thought of this, Xu Xiangnan could vomit out his heart.

She could never recall that summer, when she opened the door, what she saw were two naked bodies.Her own son was lying on the bed with a boy on top of each other, and even that boy was her favorite and caring junior.

If Fang Haichang hadn't stopped him, the ashtray held by Xu Xiangnan would have landed directly on Xu Ruiyang and Pingqiu's heads.She held back her anger and asked Fang Haichang to drive people away. Fang Haichang could still be heard yelling and scolding from afar, but she stared at Xu Ruiyang on the bed, and it took a long time before she could laugh aloud, saying that he was really amazing, and then a When the slap fell, Xu Ruiyang slammed his head on the bedside table, and the sound alarmed others.She turned her head and reprimanded the youngest son who had heard the sound, telling him to go away and learn less.

Thinking of this, Xu Xiangnan felt guilty again.

If the university banquet is not held, not only Xu Xiangnan does not advocate it, but Xu Xiuyuan, who is the protagonist, does not intend to waste it.He said: "I plan to go to school in advance to familiarize myself with the environment. Brothers I know can help."

But Xu Xiangnan knew that he would start school in September, so he disagreed with him leaving early.

Xu Xiuyuan said: "I have made an agreement with Sun Qi, we will set off together. His school will start at the end of August, and it will only be a few days."

"Sun Qi's mother said she would send him off."

"Really?" Xu Xiuyuan pretended not to know, "But I contacted him yesterday, and he said he wanted me to leave earlier and go with him."

Xu Xiangnan was dubious, and directly called Sun Qi's mother.After confirming that the news was true, Sun Qi interrupted on the phone, calling Aunt Xu Xiangnan, and asking if Xu Xiuyuan was there.

"Yes, you want to talk to him?" Xu Xiangnan handed the phone to Xu Xiuyuan.

"Hey, what do you want me to say?" Xu Xiuyuan's tone was unusually calm.

"Wait a minute...Xu Xiuyuan, did I owe you in my previous life? Last night, I even said to give me time to think about it. I just discussed it with my mother. She didn't agree at first, thinking that I was using you as a cover. She sneaked out to play, but you called me, and she believed it, but I was pushed out by you, so I have to leave in a few days?" Sun Qi seemed to find an open space, and there was an echo when he spoke, "I doubt it In my previous life, I must have killed you, and in this life, I will be your brother and pay you back like a cow or a horse."

"Yeah, I just told my mother that you want to go to school earlier, so let me go with you," Xu Xiuyuan's face remained unchanged, and he raised his head to explain to the suspicious Xu Xiangnan, "Sun Qi begged me to hurry up, it would be a day earlier." one day."

"..."

"Is it too urgent the day after tomorrow, can we postpone it for a few more days?"

"..."

"Okay then, let's make it No. 30, just leave a few days for me to pack my things, and I don't need to take the big things, just post them directly," Xu Xiuyuan directed and acted, "I know you are impatient, but there is no need to be so anxious." Be impatient... OK, I see, then we'll meet you at the airport when we arrive. Hang up."

He hung up the phone swiftly, leaving Sun Qi blankly staring at the phone screen, as if he couldn't digest Xu Xiuyuan's self-directed and self-acted conversation just now.After a long while, he finally came to his senses, and couldn't help kicking the corner of the wall hard, wishing he could grab Xu Xiuyuan from the phone and tear him up hard.

With Sun Qi as a "guarantee", Xu Xiuyuan passed Xu Xiangnan's pass smoothly.On the agreed day, depart for the airport in the morning, and fly directly to Beijing in the afternoon.

Xu Xiuyuan and Sun Qi were classmates in middle and high school. They were in the same class for three years in junior high school and the first two years in high school. After the third year of high school, Xu Xiuyuan was transferred to the science experiment class.

Sun Qi's appearance is not good, but he is tall and hearty.Not as good as Xu Ruiyang's old friend Ping Qiu, who was always very shy and easily ashamed. Xu Xiangnan's worries that Xu Xiuyuan would follow his brother's old ways were completely dispelled, and even encouraged Xu Xiuyuan to contact Sun Qi more.

The two parents sent their children away and watched them pass the customs, reluctant to part.

When Sun Qi walked a long distance and looked back, he could vaguely see his mother's goose yellow dress.After entering the cabin and sitting down, he asked Xu Xiuyuan: "You left in such a hurry, did you hide someone somewhere else?"

Xu Xiuyuan relaxed the back of his neck and closed his eyes: "Whatever you want."

"You said that as soon as you are on vacation, people run away without a trace. If you don't come to the class for a break-up meal, your classmates and teachers can't contact you online. Are you so busy? The Prime Minister of the country, you don't have time. not come out?"

"There's nothing to relate to, it's of no value at all, and it's not doing me any good."

"We are all classmates, maybe we will meet again in the future."

"I only fight for what I want to fight for, and the rest are useless to me." As he spoke, Xu Xiuyuan simply opened his eyes, pressed the phone to read the news, and blocked it with his hand to prevent Sun Qi from peeking.

"I knew it, you must be in a relationship," Sun Qi glared, "Look at your actions, look at your expression, this is the expression you have when you are in love! You still hide it from me, and you use me as a shield, how can you That's too embarrassing Xu Xiuyuan, I'm trying to lie to you this summer vacation, let alone go out to play, I don't even dare to go home, and I dare not ask my parents for money. Going to fall in love... Who, show me, who is it!"

Xu Xiuyuan was grabbed by his arm and swayed from side to side, with a smile on his face, and raised the phone above his chin, but he didn't show it to Sun Qi.

"It can't be a female classmate of our school, right? I haven't seen you get close to anyone before." Sun Qi insisted on approaching, "Is it because of an affair outside? You are really good at it, Xu Xiuyuan, you are the best, let's talk about a relationship Don't tell me if you treat me as a brother."

"improper."

"Damn it," Sun Qi was half angry and half funny, "I see, you used me as an excuse to go to school early this time, didn't you just make an appointment with her? Your school is still half a month away. "

"No," Xu Xiuyuan said, "We made an appointment to live together in the past."

"..." Sun Qi was dumbfounded.After a long time, I gave him a thumbs up, and said again: "Remember to take good measures."

Xu Xiuyuan was taken aback for a moment, then laughed out loud.

Although it is certain that there is contact every day, it is not as good as face-to-face communication after all. In addition, Pingqiu went north first and was busy with a series of things such as job entry and renting a house these days. At the same time, Xu Xiuyuan was dragged by Xu Xiangnan and Fang Haichang to meet some relatives and friends. Fa can contact Pingqiu under the eyes of his parents, and the two have fewer conversations.

Before boarding the plane, Xu Xiuyuan sent the flight information to Ping Qiu in advance, and when he took time out of his busy schedule to reply, "Got it", Xu Xiuyuan was not very satisfied, and he was not sure whether Ping Qiu meant to pick up the plane or not. Come.

So he took the opportunity and stepped past the pick-up gate ahead of Sun Qi, and the moment he caught Pingqiu's eyes in the crowd, Xu Xiuyuan's heart finally fell to the ground.

Ping Qiu was carrying a bag of hot water chestnuts, and was tiptoeing to look at the crowd of passengers coming out of the car.Suddenly his eyes were fixed, his expression suddenly tightened, even the corners of his mouth trembled, his feet moved forward uncontrollably, and accidentally bumped into the metal pole, attracting the attention of passers-by who picked up the plane.With flushed cheeks, he straightened the metal pole, and looked up again. Xu Xiuyuan was standing there with a tall and straight figure, smiling at him.

"Oh, you can't wait for me. I have so much luggage that I can't even carry it," Sun Qi followed up, seeing Xu Xiuyuan standing still, and mistakenly thought that he was waiting for him, so he urged, "Hurry up!" Hurry up, I'm going to school first. Can you go?"

"I'll take you to the car." Xu Xiuyuan didn't want to leave his friends and run away, but Pingqiu was right in front of him, and he didn't have extra leisure time to accompany Sun Qi to school.

Silently said "wait for me" to Pingqiu with mouth shape, Pingqiu nodded, Xu Xiuyuan helped Sun Qi call a taxi, helped him put his luggage into the trunk, then closed the car door forcefully, bent down and waved to him and said goodbye.

Watching the back of the taxi gradually go away, Xu Xiuyuan suddenly turned around and ran wildly.

"Pingqiu!"

He was wandering around in a daze, when Ping Qiu heard the words, he turned his head immediately and saw Xu Xiuyuan running towards him.He involuntarily moved forward, with his arms outstretched, his brisk walk turned into a trot, until he was embraced by Xu Xiuyuan.

Pingqiu is currently living in a single apartment that is only four subway stops away from the tutoring class.The place was introduced by a colleague. At that time, Pingqiu was worried that he couldn’t resist Xu Xiuyuan’s suggestion, and the rent of other rental houses was ridiculously expensive. When he heard that this apartment was close to the unit, and the price was slightly higher but affordable, he almost Without much hesitation, it was finalized quickly.

However, there are obvious problems with the apartment. For example, it is located in a remote place. Not to mention the distance from the city center, even Xu Xiuyuan's school is more than an hour's drive away.Secondly, the tenants are mixed, especially on the first and second floors. Many of them are group rented houses, and many of them are workers from nearby development zones. Moreover, the sound insulation of the apartment is not very good, and you can always hear the movement next door.

Fortunately, the building Ping Qiu lives in has no tenants on the first floor, but there are small shops and fruit shops, so the environment is relatively quiet.

Just as he took the key to open the door, before Pingqiu had time to turn on the light, someone pushed his back suddenly, he staggered a few steps, and fell face up onto the sofa.Immediately afterwards, Xu Xiuyuan separated his legs and knelt on his waist, just sniffed lightly on Pingqiu's neck, and his lips fell down.
