Chapter 9

After entering the house, Pingqiu took off his backpack and put down the paper bag, in front of him was Xu Xiuyuan bending over to change his shoes.He hesitated for a moment, then asked tactfully: "I heard that many high school seniors have received text messages from the Department of Education today about their grades. How about you?"

"Almost," Xu Xiuyuan straightened up, stroked the strap of the backpack slung across his chest with his left hand, "That's it."

"What is 'almost' and 'just like that'?"

"It's about the same score as I estimated."

"That means you did well in the exam?" Seeing him nodding, Ping Qiu's brows were filled with joy, and he was sincerely happy for him, "It's amazing, congratulations, your hard work was not in vain. But you know why you didn't tell me the result earlier, I'm still happy." I thought—I didn’t dare to ask you, if I knew earlier, I would treat you to dinner tonight as a celebration for you. How about tomorrow night? I’ll treat you, congratulations on your admission to university. "

"Are you that happy?" Xu Xiuyuan looked at him and said, "It's just the college entrance examination."

"I'm happy, I'm really happy, I didn't lie to you."

"Then it should be me who invites you, why is it your turn to invite me?"

"It doesn't matter. You are a prospective college student. Wherever you have spare money, I can still afford it. Then it's a deal. I'll tell you when the place is confirmed tomorrow night."

"Just the two of us? Let's call Shang Luyang, there are so many people."

Probably because his sudden invitation came out of nowhere, Ping Qiu didn't immediately agree.His thoughts were all written on his face. Xu Xiuyuan saw it through at a glance, but instead laughed at him for being suspicious, and comforted him: "Look, you are thinking too much again. I have no other ideas, but I think you should also want to invite him, not to say Do you want to share happiness? You are happy for me, and I want to make you happy too. Outside, I will be your younger brother. Is this okay?"

Ping Qiu glanced at him: "You really think so?"

"of course."

"Then I'll talk to him?" Pingqiu let Xu Xiuyuan hold his hand intimately, even naively thinking that this is the reward for his thoughtfulness to Xu Xiuyuan, "Let's have dinner together tomorrow to help you celebrate. Do you want to come again?" Order a cake—do you want to give you a red envelope? I remember that some people in our place used to have a high-level entrance examination, and they always had to hold banquets, and relatives and friends even gave red envelopes, so I will prepare one for you too."

"Okay, the bigger the better, I won't accept the ones that are too small." Xu Xiuyuan squeezed his palm.

"En!" Ping Qiu nodded vigorously, "It must be a big red envelope."

After taking a shower before going to bed, and drenched with sweat after drying his hair, Ping Qiu slid on his slippers to the sink to pour water for a drink, but turned around to find that Xu Xiuyuan was not blowing on the air conditioner in the bedroom, but was sitting cross-legged on the cushion in front of the sofa in the living room, playing on the computer.The headlights in the living room were off, except for a spherical decorative lamp on the side table, Xu Xiuyuan's face was reflected on the computer screen, and the sound of the keyboard was intermittent.Ping Qiu approached quietly, and patted Xu Xiuyuan's shoulder from behind. He didn't startle, but Xu Xiuyuan turned his head, and the white mask on his face frightened Ping Qiu out of his wits.

Xu Xiuyuan held on to Pingqiu's pajamas to prevent him from falling, and there was some excitement in his words: "Scared you? You are too slow, I have been waiting for you for 10 minutes."

"...Don't be scary, you like to make such jokes." Ping Qiu complained, stepped on the sofa and stretched out his hand, turned on the headlights in the living room, and then turned around, Xu Xiuyuan had already taken off his mask and put it aside, it turned out to be Zhang Gai Ifix mask.He retracted his legs and sat back on the sofa, took the mask and looked left and right, and asked, "Did you buy this? You like this too?"

"No, I found it in your room." Xu Xiuyuan straightened his messy hair, put his arms on the sofa next to Pingqiu's legs, supported his head with his palms, and looked at him from bottom to top.

Xu Xiuyuan's gaze was always inexplicably ambiguous, and Ping Qiu's chest would thump when he stared at him for a long time.So he deliberately didn't face his face, just played with the mask in his hand, pulled the tether, touched his nose, and suddenly thought: "I remember, this is what Lu Yang left here."

"His things, do you play in disguise?"

"It seems to be. It should be at the end of last year. His company had a party, and I went too. It must have been pulled down at that time."

"You were scared too?"

"A little bit," Ping Qiu felt a little embarrassed, trying to save face, "Actually, I'm not afraid, don't scare me suddenly, I'm not afraid of this."

As he spoke, he put the mask on his face, pinched his hands around his chin to fix the mask, turned his head left and right, deliberately moved closer to Xu Xiuyuan, and then took it off. Seeing that his expression was as usual, he was obviously a little discouraged, and he still wanted to emphasize: : "You're not afraid, it's really not very scary."

"Don't talk about this, do me a favor," Xu Xiuyuan changed the subject, "Help me see the volunteers, give me some advice, how about it?"

"My opinion? But with such a high score, you have a lot of room to choose schools and majors. I chose schools at random. It seems that I don't have any useful advice for you. After all, this is about your future. , the most important thing is that you like it.”

But Xu Xiuyuan said: "I don't care, it's fine."

He was obviously a little angry, Pingqiu had no choice but to obey his wishes, slid on the floor mat along the edge of the sofa, next to Xu Xiuyuan, and helped him check the admission scores of various schools last year.

Xu Xiuyuan's score is ranked in the top [-] in the school, and the overall ranking in the city is also very high. In addition, the admission situation of each school changes almost every year. This is completely different from the situation of Pingqiu's volunteers, so he sees it extremely Concentrate, but there are various majors in each school, which also makes him dazzled and despondent.

Without paying attention, Xu Xiuyuan suddenly pressed his chin on Pingqiu's shoulder from behind, folded his hands at his side, did not speak, just sighed heavily, and said for a long time: "Xu Ruiyang asked me to study finance. Let me study law, and various relatives have told me to study law, so who should I choose?"

"What about you, don't you have any ideas?" Ping Qiu asked, turning his head to the side.Gradually, he no longer felt offended by Xu Xiuyuan's physical contact without saying hello, and he found the intimacy similar to the intimacy between him when he was a teenager in such a leaning posture.

However, Xu Xiuyuan's habit of burying his face into his neck shattered Pingqiu's sweet dreams. He seemed to be sniffing the fragrance of Pingqiu's body, and said casually, "Let's do math."

"It's good to be good at mathematics, and you can choose a good school with your scores, but—don't do it!" Pingqiu's scalp tingled, and he clamped his shoulders tightly, not giving Xu Xiuyuan a chance to continue to poke under his collar.He sipped softly: "Stop playing, if you do this again, I'll leave."

"What are you thinking?" Xu Xiuyuan said, "A bug flew in just now, I want to help you take a look."

Hearing this, Ping Qiu was taken aback, stood up hastily, lifted his collar and stomped his feet twice, a small black flying insect fell out from under the hem of his clothes.Pingqiu was afraid of insects, so he was still barefoot at this time. His first reaction was to lift his right leg, and then put it down again. At the same time, Xu Xiuyuan had already pulled out a paper towel to pick up the flying insects. The trash can, and kindly reminded: "There are many bugs in summer, don't open the window at night."

Pingqiu's face was red and white, and he whispered: "I'm sorry, I just thought—"

"Sit down," Xu Xiuyuan tugged at his hand, "If you don't like me relying on you, then I won't. I also don't like you always saying sorry. I should be sorry if you have anything to do with me. Say thank you more."

"What do you have to thank me for? It's obviously my problem." Ping Qiu sat leaning against him uncomfortably, her thighs resting on his knees.

"A lot. For example, Xu Ruiyang didn't like me when I was a child. You were the only one who treated me well. At that time, I thought maybe you were my real brother. I was adopted by my parents. Otherwise, how could you treat me so well? You often protect me. Look at me, and I should thank you much from then on."

"..." Ping Qiu was not used to being praised, so he was a little flattered, and he was also a little confused by the big change in Xu Xiuyuan's attitude.He couldn't understand Xu Xiuyuan more and more. Sometimes he was cold and tough, and sometimes he was gentle and considerate. Pingqiu was used to compromise and accommodate others, but every time getting along with him was like riding a roller coaster.

"Would you like to watch it for a while? Are you sleepy?" Xu Xiuyuan asked.

"It's okay. If you are in a hurry to settle down now, let's watch it later," Pingqiu changed his tone, "but there is something I want to ask you. Lu Yang said that you plan to go home in two days, it is true huh? Why didn't you tell me?"

"I want to go back. My mother urged me to go home, saying that there is something at home."

"So that's the case. Then when will you take the car, I'll take half a day off to see you off."

"Can't you guess? They forced me to go back because of my coming out and volunteering. They can do anything to Xu Ruiyang. I'm afraid that if I go back, I'm afraid I won't even be able to go to college."

"Don't talk nonsense," Ping Qiu thought he was worrying unfoundedly, "Your parents care about you, and you have such good grades, how could they not let you continue your studies."

"What do you care about?" Xu Xiuyuan was disappointed, "They won't let me go to school, and then, like Xu Ruiyang, I will be tied to their belt for the rest of my life. Child, I will become the second Xu Ruiyang, cheat my parents, my wife, everyone, and maybe there will be a second Pingqiu who will hate me all my life."

"...What do you want me to say? Follow your subtext, advise you to break away from your parents, or advise you to hurry up and follow my path? Xiuyuan, you will have many choices, even if you really Make sure, don't be so negative, talk to your parents, you can't rely on your emotions to solve the problem."

"I know, so I don't plan to go back," Xu Xiuyuan changed the subject, "You just take me in and let me stay until the school starts."

Pingqiu was stunned: "Not going back?"

"Just for more than two months, you let me be quiet and quiet, maybe I can come up with a way to get the best of both worlds, so that my parents won't sever ties with me, and I can stick to my own choice," Xu Xiuyuan said sincerely, "In this way, I will be very grateful to you."

With such openness and sincerity, with Pingqiu's face, he can no longer say sarcastic words to comfort Xu Xiuyuan to shake hands and reconcile with his family.In particular, what Xu Xiuyuan said earlier was an accusation, but it was actually an accusation.He was unwilling to be the second Xu Ruiyang, and he didn't want to have another "Ping Qiu" in the future. These words just hit Ping Qiu's weakness, making it difficult for him to open his mouth to argue, so he could only step back and acquiesce again.

After entering the room and climbing onto the bed, Xu Xiuyuan consciously slept on the floor.Pingqiu turned off the wall lamp, lay on his back and waited for a while, but he didn't see Xu Xiuyuan intending to go to bed to continue the "experiment" tonight, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep in peace.

After half an hour, the bedroom was completely dark, and Pingqiu's cell phone beside the bed rang suddenly.Xu Xiuyuan was thinking about the problem with his eyes open, when he heard the sound, he immediately stood up and saw that it was Lu Yang calling.

And Lu Yang was also a little stuck when he found out that the opposite was not Ping Qiu, but Xu Xiuyuan, he faltered a few words, and suggested as if he was going all out: "Can you come out, let's talk?"

So this time it was Xu Xiuyuan's turn to go to the appointment happily.

Not long ago, I had an argument with Zhou Chuan, and the two parties broke up unhappy. Zhou Chuan still kicked over a plastic stool and walked away. Before leaving, he pointed at Lu Yang's nose and scolded him "I don't know what to do", which made Lu Yang I can't hold back my face.

After the crowd dispersed, the scene was over, surrounded by a group of strangers watching the excitement, Lu Yang was in a slump, using bamboo chopsticks to poke a few peanuts in the plate.The horn rang twice in front of him, and he looked up. Xu Xiuyuan, short trousers, was jogging here with his mobile phone in hand, and then sat down on the plastic seat opposite him, short of breath.

Seeing him hurrying, Lu Yang was full of shame: "I forgot to check the time, and I called you out all of a sudden, are you already asleep?"

Xu Xiuyuan said it's okay: "I've been sleeping late. Boss, here's a pair of bowls and chopsticks."

"Whatever you want to eat, just order it, I invite you."

"Anything is fine?" Xu Xiuyuan pretended to be Haikou, but actually ordered a small pot of vermicelli.While tearing apart the bamboo chopsticks, he said, "You said on the phone that you want to ask me something? Just ask, as long as I know, I will tell you everything."

"Aren't you angry when I called you out for no reason? We didn't get to know each other that well. To be honest, when I asked you if I could come out, I was ready for you to scold me." Lu Yang joked road.

"Last time, I took the initiative to talk to you, but this time you come to me, it's even."

"You're quite interesting," Lu Yang said with a smile, "This temper is a bit like Ping Qiu's."

"Then what do you want to say?" Xu Xiuyuan asked.

However, some words are convenient for outsiders like Zhou Chuan to get straight to the point. Facing Xu Xiuyuan, Lu Yang still has some appropriate reservations.He thought of the "first love theory" that Zhou Chuan had despised before, and he spoke for a long time, before tactfully saying: "Actually, I have heard of your brother's name before, but I didn't know about him and Ping Qiu at that time, so I thought the two of them It’s just an old classmate with a good relationship. Pingqiu doesn’t have much contact with his family, and he doesn’t have any classmates and friends with a good relationship. So when I looked at the photos he left before, most of them were the two of them. I thought it was very fresh. I have a little impression. But Pingqiu said at the time that it was a classmate he didn't have much contact with, but it was just a good relationship before, so I didn't pay much attention to it."

"You just want to ask me about this?" Xu Xiuyuan has a keen sense of smell, "Did you ask your parents and mention Pingqiu?"

"Wow, you contemporary little detective," Lu Yang scratched the side of his nose, "You also think it's too fast?"

"Fortunately, it's your style, I'm not surprised," Xu Xiuyuan said, "But it looks like you came back home without a feather?"

"What is it? I think I'm a coward. My parents reacted very violently. I even suspected that my father would be standing at the door of my house tomorrow morning-my mother is not in good health. I felt impulsive after I finished speaking. But what was said, the water that was spilled, can’t be recovered now, and we can only see how to mend it.”

"Do you regret it?" Xu Xiuyuan asked.

"I regret it?" Lu Yang repeated, and fell silent again, "Forget it? Forget it, I just didn't expect that the secrets that I had held back for more than ten years would suddenly be revealed all at once, and I didn't know much about it. .”

"You should tell Pingqiu, he will be very happy, because you have done what my brother failed to do."

Lu Yang finally found an entry point: "Tell me about your brother, Xu Ruiyang. How much do you know about him and Pingqiu?"

"All."

"……boast."

"It's true, all of them," Xu Xiuyuan put down the bamboo chopsticks, "My brother Pingqiu knew each other in elementary school, because they were both members of the school's guard of honor at that time. My brother played the trumpet and Pingqiu was the flag raiser, so they got acquainted naturally. Later They are in the same class, and Ping Qiu came to my house more often, although my brother has many friends, but he is the only one who has such a good relationship, my parents even joked that they would recognize him as a godson."

"You were very young then."

"It's not that big, but I remember it very clearly." Xu Xiuyuan nodded his temple, "Because Pingqiu treated me very well, even better than my brother, much better, so good that I still can't understand why he can be so tolerant. "

Xu Xiuyuan still remembers the summer vacation when Pingqiu and Xu Ruiyang were first promoted.

At that time, the streets of the old town had not yet been demolished and rebuilt, and there was a flat bridge in the town. Walking down the steps, there were two families by the river under the bridge, one of whose grandchildren and Xu Ruiyang were close classmates.Before the summer vacation, Xu Ruiyang made an appointment with him to exchange novels, so he agreed to pick up the books.Leaning the car against the bridge at will, Xu Ruiyang went down the steps alone, and quickly disappeared without a trace.

The summer breeze blew under the uneven stones. Xu Xiuyuan got off the back seat of his bicycle and climbed onto the stone fence like Pingqiu. Because of his height, he could barely show his head on the side of the fence and threw it high. He is looking at Pingqiu.Beside him, Ping Qiu slumped slightly, folded his hands on the edge of the stone fence, leaned his chin on the back of his hands, and was looking at the direction Xu Ruiyang left.After a long while, he was finally willing to look away, and when he turned around, he saw Xu Xiuyuan was also looking at him.

As if afraid that Xu Xiuyuan would see some of his shady intentions, Pingqiu hurriedly stood up straight, his face flushed red by the scorching sun.Xu Xiuyuan remembered that there was a round red mark on the back of his hand, and then he patted his head with this hand, and asked the boring questions that adults love to ask.And when he learned that Xu Xiuyuan was the first in his class in the final exam this time, Ping Qiu half-heartedly and half-perfunctorily praised him for being smart, and said that he was much more worry-free than his brother Xu Ruiyang, and he sighed a long time after speaking , it seems that the bad tutoring with Xu Ruiyang really gave him a headache.

But Xu Xiuyuan didn't have time to be overjoyed by his eccentric praise, an arm suddenly came across his head——Xu Ruiyang trotted back, breathing quickly, regardless of Xu Xiuyuan in the middle, he tapped Pingqiu lightly with two rolled up magazines forehead, accusing him of talking behind his back, not being aboveboard.

Pingqiu couldn't dodge in time and was hit in the head.He obviously likes such an intimate fight, but he insists on pretending to be serious, blaming Xu Ruiyang for being rude to others.

Xu Ruiyang didn't bother with him, threw a stack of magazines and comics into the car basket, kicked the bicycle handlebar, and bumped his shoulder intentionally and ambiguously as he walked by.I don't know what he said in a low voice, Pingqiu blushed suddenly, hurriedly pushed the cart and walked ahead, turned around after crossing the bridge, waved to Xu Xiuyuan who was at the back, telling him to run forward quickly, he will carry him.

As for that day, Xu Xiuyuan lay on Pingqiu's back, with his arms around his waist from front to back, praying quietly in his heart for such a long time: It would be great if this road had no end, or if Pingqiu As long as Qiu is my real brother, he will be much happier than he is now.Although at that time, his real brother was still chasing after their bicycles, shouting loudly.

I can't tell when, but the elders in the family often say that Xu Xiuyuan has a calm personality, and he seems to be more suitable to be an elder brother than Xu Ruiyang, who is out of touch.And when exactly did Xu Ruiyang start to change, maybe it was the third year of junior high school, when he was approaching the first year of high school, he suddenly had an unspeakable secret, so he stopped fooling around all day long, and he no longer cared about Xu Xiuyuan's being a good boy once he would be separated. How much originally belonged to his attention.The door of his room was locked at some point, sometimes it was closed to himself, and sometimes it was closed to him and Pingqiu.

Xu Xiuyuan was very curious, and never thought that there were any secrets between them that he could not know.Until one time, he saw Xu Ruiyang and Pingqiu hugging each other in the stairwell through the door of the room. They hugged each other tightly, and the back of the short sleeves of Pingqiu's school uniform was deeply creased.

They were studying in the room again, Xu Xiuyuan leaned against the door and listened carefully, and he could still hear Pingqiu's voice.He was reciting English words, with a little accent, straight and straight, and suddenly laughed again, scolding Xu Ruiyang for "not paying attention", and saying "I won't teach anymore".Xu Xiuyuan liked listening to Pingqiu's speech very much. His way of speaking was completely different from Xu Ruiyang's, different from anyone else's. He seemed to always smile when he spoke. There will be some indescribable tension.

During the time when he was tutoring Xu Ruiyang, Pingqiu often took a nap at Xu's house, sleeping on Xu Ruiyang's narrow single bed, with a metal pole half the length of his forearm standing beside the bed.It was originally used to support the upper and lower bunks of Xu Ruiyang brothers, until Xu Ruiyang had a psychological rebellion in adolescence, saying that he needed privacy, so he removed the wooden boards on the upper bunk, and Xu Xiuyuan was kicked out of the room by him, and the two brothers lived in separate rooms.And the support rod that was constantly being removed was used as a hanger to hang the clothes that Xu Ruiyang took off casually.That metal rod is not too thick, but thin, Ping Qiu can just hold it with one hand closed.Once, Xu Xiuyuan saw from the window that Pingqiu was lying on the bed, holding the pole tightly, holding it so hard that even the back of his hand had bruised veins.

"According to you, the reason why they broke up back then was because of an accident?" After paying the bill at the outdoor food stall, Lu Yang and Xu Xiuyuan walked side by side on the side of the road. with?"

"It should be like this. After all, our place is very small. If something happens to someone's family, it will spread to ten, ten to hundreds, and it will spread quickly. It can't be hidden."

"So, Pingqiu has been completely made public?" Lu Yang said to himself, "No wonder I asked him how much trouble he had with his family before, and he spent four consecutive years outside for festivals and never returned. He still refuses to say clearly about his family—you are from his hometown, and you have known him for a long time, so you must know his mother?"

"know."

"Is the relationship between him and his mother very stiff? I rarely hear him mention it, no, he never mentioned it. "

"About his mother's situation, you should ask him yourself," Xu Xiuyuan stopped, "but there is one thing, I think I should remind you, the problem is that this matter may make you feel uncomfortable, so if you If you want to hear it, I'll tell you again."

Lu Yang is vigilant: "About Pingqiu's mother?"

"It can be understood in this way."

"Tell me, what is it?"

"At that time, I was not the only one who knew about my brother Ping Qiu. Aunt Ping was the second person besides me who knew about their relationship."

"..." Lu Yang was shocked.

"You were shocked because you didn't expect that his mother already knew about their relationship?"

"It doesn't make sense. If his mother knew a long time ago, why didn't she come out to support Pingqiu when he was driven away, and even let Pingqiu go out alone for four years-it doesn't make sense at all," Lu Yang wondered. , "Does Pingqiu know? I mean, his mother knows that he is gay, does he know?"

"I probably don't know. He probably thought he was hiding it well, and he didn't dare to go home for four years. Maybe he thought it would be difficult for his mother to stay at home," Xu Xiuyuan said, "So I think if you plan to continue with Pingqiu Going down, you can turn passive into active. Maybe his mother’s side will be a useful breakthrough. Even if it doesn’t work, it’s a good thing to ease the relationship between their mother and child. You can take what I said as a suggestion, whether to adopt it or not You can do whatever you want."

"I know," Lu Yang asked, "but I don't quite understand. Why did you help me? Logically speaking, you should stand by your brother and treat me as an enemy, right?"

"They are all in the past tense, people have to look forward. Besides, the situation of Pingqiu and our family does not allow me to support my brother--you just pretend that I am making up for my brother and my parents. "

"You're quite thoughtful," Lu Yang patted him on the shoulder, "Actually, you don't have to blame yourself, these things have nothing to do with you, you were just a child at the time, you couldn't help much, and you couldn't even talk about apologizing made up for it."

Xu Xiuyuan smiled, and didn't say whether he was right or not: "But there is one thing, I think you can understand, after all, my surname is Xu, and I can't be taken out of my family completely, and I also tell you this in private, to put it harshly, I just A 'spy', so at Pingqiu's—"

Lu Yang understood: "I know, I will keep it a secret."

"Thank you," Xu Xiuyuan smiled slightly, "I also wish you good luck, and your wish will come true."

The next day, Pingqiu seldom fished at work, so he shuttled around the offices of all the math teachers on the second floor with a few snack bags.He has basically figured out the situation of mathematics majors in various colleges and universities, and his snack bag has become empty.In order to prevent memory errors, he deliberately wrote down all the details in the notepad, ranging from the level of teachers to the situation of the cafeteria. He recorded them in detail one by one. He remembered that he was too focused, went downstairs without looking at the steps, and almost stepped on the air and wrestled .

In the afternoon, the principal of the organization assigned some staff to go out to publicize.This week is the final week of high schools in the city, and various tutoring institutions will distribute leaflets around the high schools.During the last mission during the college entrance examination, Pingqiu was unable to take the turn because of shift shifts. This time he took the initiative to ask for a job. By the way, he took over the mission of a female colleague who was not feeling well during her menstruation. Distribute plastic fans.

The temperature is surprisingly high today.As soon as the examination room dispersed, the students filed out.Ping Qiu huddled in the crowd to distribute fans, before half of the distribution, the school guard stepped forward to stop him, reprimanding him for blocking the school gate and hindering the passage.

Ping Qiu kindly apologized: "I left after posting these. I just showed them to the students. I didn't force them to come over. What's more, they were all distributed with fans. It's hot, so it's good to fan the wind."

But the guard didn't listen to his explanation, and rudely knocked off the plastic fan in Pingqiu's hands, causing the fan to scatter all over the floor.Pingqiu hurriedly squatted down to pick it up, but he was no match for the crowd of students and parents who were walking forward. He was either stepped on by a fan, or kicked on his legs and waist. He was also pushed hard on the back of the head, staggered twice before Standing firm, looking down, the white shoes have been trampled black.

It was not possible to distribute flyers at the school gate, so Ping Qiu found a place under the shade of a tree facing west from the school gate. Whether it was a parent or a student, as long as his hands were empty, he could smile and put the fan into their hands, and he had to be patient. Reminder that the consultation phone is on the back, if you have any questions, please contact us at any time.

Among them, a pair of mother and son passed by him, not far away, and Pingqiu heard the high school student laugh loudly, saying that he just threw something away, and now he is throwing something again.As soon as he finished speaking, he threw the fan sideways into the green lawn on one side.Pingqiu looked at the abandoned plastic fan, wiped off the sweat on his forehead, bent down, and took out another pile of fans from the bag on one side.

The appointed time was 06:30 in the evening, but it was already a quarter past six when Pingqiu returned to work. He didn't even have time to drink his saliva, so he bid farewell to his colleagues in a hurry, got on his car and headed towards the hotel.However, during the rush hour, Ping Qiu was stuck at the intersection with his two-wheeled car. When he rushed into the reserved private room, Lu Yang and Xu Xiuyuan drank first. The food was not served, and the two chatted Very happy, chatting and laughing.

"Why is your face so red, are you allergic?" Lu Yang stood up and poured water for Ping Qiu.

"I went out today and spent the whole afternoon in the sun. I just got off work, so I'm late." Pingqiu raised his neck and poured two glasses of boiled water, then looked at Xu Xiuyuan who was sitting quietly, "I bought you a cake, and it will be here soon. Oh, And the red envelopes, I have prepared them all."

As he spoke, he stuffed his hands under the backpack to search, but after searching for a long time, he couldn't find it. Then he looked again and found that it was hidden in the interlayer.He took a tissue to dry the sweat on his palms, and then handed out the red envelope with both hands: "Actually, it's not much money—I wish you success in your studies and smooth sailing in the future."

Xu Xiuyuan didn't answer, just stared at Pingqiu's face.Pingqiu became nervous after staring straight at it, and Lu Yang also felt strange, so he smiled, took it, and replied: "Thank you brother."

Ping Qiu was taken aback: "...You are welcome, you are welcome."

"You gave me so generously, I didn't prepare anything, and deliberately embarrassed me?" Lu Yang rounded the field, "Well, this time, my treat is my gift to replenish Xiuyuan, okay?"

"Thank you." Xu Xiuyuan smiled at him.

Lu Yang and Xu Xiuyuan were chatting in front of them, Ping Qiu lowered his head, pounding the empty bowl in front of him with his chopsticks.Xu Xiuyuan's previous "Brother" was still circling in his head, as if he had clicked on the replay a million times, so shocking that he didn't know what to do for a while.

Suddenly, Pingqiu's knees tightened.Lu Yang took advantage of Xu Xiuyuan's time to go out to wash his hands, and whispered in his ear: "Wait a little later, I have something to tell you."
