you're so stubborn

After wearing the birthday crown, Xie Lang was ready to start taking pictures.

Xia Man pulled Xie Yuyu towards the middle of the dessert table and the arched balloons. There were two rows of large HAPPY BIRTHDAYs there. Taking pictures from this angle was more comprehensive and the light was slightly brighter.

Xu Haoyu took a few flower tubes and divided them into each other, even Xiao Hanli was not left behind.

Several people gathered around Xie Yuyu, Xie Yuyu was holding a white hand-painted cake with only a bright yellow candle inserted in it, and he was smiling so hard that his teeth couldn't see.

"Don't be so silly, it won't look good when you shoot it later." Ou Chen reminded him when he lit a candle for him.

Xie Yuyu can't control his expression, he is happy now, very happy, very happy, the kind of happiness that is soaked in milk every day, and he can't suppress it.

"Let's start making wishes." After Ou Chen lit the candle, Xie Lang also set the photo time and came back and flicked Xie's extra earlobe.

Xie Yuyu tilted his head because he was afraid of itching, and the cake was tilted with him, so scared that he quickly picked it up.

"It scared me to death!" He looked at the cake in shock, with joy still hanging from the corner of his mouth.

"Then why don't you hurry up and make a wish." Xie Lang took a flower tube from Ou Chen, and tapped Xie's extra butt lightly.

"Xu la Xu la!" Xie Yuyu closed his eyes after saying that, feeling uneasy after closing them, and opened one eye to look at his brother, "Brother, you are not allowed to eavesdrop!"

"Promise you, don't eavesdrop." There were only three wishes in total, and after two years of making them upside down, Xie Lang could memorize them fluently, so there was no need to eavesdrop.

"Okay! Make a promise!" After a while, Xie Yu opened his eyes after making a wish, and took two steps towards his brother with the cake in his hand, "Big brother and I blow out the candles together."

In previous years, Xie Lang played with him, but this year Xie Yuyu invited so many children, Xie Lang couldn't let them come for nothing, "Xie Yuyu, you invited your own friends today, you can talk to your children Let's blow out the candles together."

Xie Yuyu blinked his eyes, and it took him a long time to react. He turned around with the cake in his hand, and called Ou Ziyu and the others to come and blow out the candles with him.

Four little children had just blown out the candles.

The "Happy Birthday" led by Jiangnan rang out along with the crackling flower tubes.

Xie Yuyu was frightened by the sudden sound and shrank his neck violently. Ou Ziyu, who was next to him, was afraid that he would not be able to hold the cake, so he hurriedly helped him up, and the two of them were as happy as two cheerful ducklings when they were done.

Little Hanli was covered by her mother, so she didn't hear the sound of ping-pong. She just watched others laugh, and she laughed too. While laughing, she waved the flower tube in her hand. I don't know if she hit somewhere Suddenly, a bunch of little red hearts burst out of the flower tube and sprayed out in the direction of Ou Chen and Xie Lang.

The two of them were inexplicably confused, and they were stunned for a long time before they recovered.

Little Han Li was also stunned for a moment, but she burst into tears within three seconds.

Everyone in the room was amused by Xiao Hanli's operation.

Aunt Han hugged Han Li and coaxed her, while apologizing to Xie Lang and Ou Chen, "I'm sorry, you two handsome guys, I didn't pay attention to the flower tube in Lili's hand, and I opened it for some reason, so I didn't scare you two Bar."

Xie Lang looked at Ou Chen and the little love on his body, and sighed helplessly. Just as he was about to say it's okay, he heard Xie Yuyu laugh very shamelessly, "Haha... brother and brother Ouchen's head It's all little love."

"It was said that I came here to celebrate Xie Yu's birthday, so why did it turn into a wedding?" Uncle Xu said disrespectfully.

"What are you talking about?" Xu Haoyu praised his father's presence very much, and then yelled, "The flower girls are all arranged, tsk tsk, just tell us if you want to cheat people out of money, and give us a way to keep secret."

Xie Lang wanted to throw a dark sentence at Chen Cang in his face.

"Then you go online, WeChat or Alipay?" Ou Chen said leisurely.

Xie Lang opened his eyelids and looked at him, and saw that he picked up the little love hearts on his body very seriously, and put them in his palm one by one, looking quite enjoyable.

"Fuck!" Xu Haoyu had never met such a shameless person before opening his mouth to curse.

"Brother Qing is swearing!" Grandma Xie Yu gave Xu Haoyu a fierce look, but he forgot to put back the smile on his face before glaring, so his fierce expression was very funny.

Xu Haoyu looked at Zhile and hurriedly said that he didn't dare.

After cutting the cake and staying for a while, Aunt Jiang, Uncle Jiang and Uncle Xu left first, there was still work to do.

The children were not in a hurry to leave and played wildly all afternoon.

A table of birthday cakes and small cakes was eaten up by several children, but no one noticed that only one of the three cakes on the dessert table was left.

Xie Yuyu finished the cake and toffee, and after eating the toffee, he exchanged it with Ou Ziyu for a small cup of cake to try. After tasting Ou Ziyu's, it's not worth it, but Han Fei and Zhang Yikai's.

The collar is full of cream until I taste it for myself.

Grandpa and grandma couldn't stand it anymore, so they found him a low-neck sweater and put it on again, but children would not notice these details when they were playing like crazy, it didn't take long to change it, and they got covered in cream again.

Grandpa and grandma wondered if the child rolled on the dessert table while they were not paying attention.

"Grandpa and grandma," Xie Lang held a small piece of cake and ate, "You two just leave him alone and go to bed."

"Hey, I got it." Grandma responded without moving, holding a piece of paper in her hand, ready to wipe Xie Yuyu's face with cream.

Xie Lang shook his head, too lazy to say anything.

Grandpa and grandma hurt Xie Duodu much like eyeballs, watching this child grow from a malnourished chai child to such a rare milk dumpling, I feel happy and sad at the same time,

But Xie Lang also knew that grandparents wanted to stay with him every step of the way on his birthday, just because they felt ashamed.

Because it was the son they were so proud of who made Xie Yu experience this.

When the sun was about to set, Zhang Yikai and Han Fei were about to leave, and the mother of the two children took them to say goodbye to Xie Yuyu.

Xie Yu came over to give them the wrapped small gift bags, and when it was Han Li's turn, he gave her two more.

Little Han Li held three gift bags, and said with bent eyes, "Thank you brother."

It was the first time for Xie Yuyu to be called brother at such a young age. He was so happy that he turned around and wanted to get her another bag of candy, but found that there was no more, so he turned to hold his brother's hand, "Brother, do I have anything else?" A little gift from you?"

Xie Lang thought for a while, "There is a box of biscuits in the room, go and get them."

"Okay!" Xie Yu ran back to the house to get the biscuits, and it took a long time before he came back. When he came back, he had a box of handmade biscuits tied with a bow tie in his hand. It can be seen at a glance that the child is still very reluctant to part with this box of biscuits, but he still passed the biscuits to Han Li like a big brother, "Here! Little sister! I will give you this box of biscuits too!"

Mother Han thought it was a gift they had prepared, so she didn't refuse. She smiled and helped Han Li take it, and coaxed Han Li to say thank you to her brother.

"Thank you brother." Han Li said milkily.

After everyone had left, Xie Yu acted like a spoiled child to Xie Lang, "Brother, that box of biscuits is for me, right?"

"Before you gave it to my little sister, it belonged to you, but if you give it to my little sister, it belongs to my little sister." Xie Lang walked into the house with his arms around him.

"But why didn't you tell me that it was mine in advance!" Xie Yu pouted, a little unhappy.

"Thank you too much," Xie Lang saw that he started to commit crimes again, so he couldn't help but explain a few words to him, "The box of biscuits was made by my brother himself, and it's also your favorite flavor of milk and chocolate. Let me ask you, if I tell you this in advance, and there are no other gifts at home, what will you do? Don’t give it away?”

Xie Yuyu didn't say a word, he drooped his head and picked his fingers, and after a while, big tears dripped out.

Xie Lang tilted his head to look at Xie Yuyu's aggrieved little face, and suddenly regretted saying these words, anyway, today is also the child's birthday, how could there be a brother who would reason with others on his birthday and make them sad.

Taking a deep breath, just as he was about to coax him, he heard Xie Duo's strong nasal voice, "But that's my brother's birthday present..."

After a pause, he added, "I have never eaten the biscuits my brother made for me..."

Xie Lang was a little dumbfounded, and said in a soft voice, "But brother is always by your side. If you want to eat, brother can make it for you at any time. If you are not polite, will others not like to have sex with you?" You are friends, and they are here to celebrate your birthday today, you can tell yourself, is it wrong for you to be so fussy?"

"Yes..." Xie Yu pouted his lips, tears fell faster, "I was wrong..."

Xie Lang still wanted to talk, but Xu Haoyu's voice came over, "Oh, Xie Lang, are you interested? You have to make him cry on his birthday... Come on, superfluous, Brother Qing hugs the pain, Let's ignore him, ah."

Children who are hurt are the ones who cry the most.

As soon as Xu Haoyu took Xie Yuyu over, Xie Yuyu began to whine on Xu Haoyu's shoulder, feeling wronged.

Xie Lang frowned immediately. He didn't like someone coming to coax him when he was educating Xie Yuyu, because that would unconsciously encourage Xie Yuyu's grievances, and make Xie Yuyu forget the great truths he said before. .

So when Xie Lang educated Xie Yuyu, even his grandparents didn't dare to intervene.

Now, looking at Xu Haoyu, who is coaxing Xie Yuyu with a good voice, and Xie Yuyu, who is crying all the time knowing that he is wrong, he suddenly loses his temper, and he is about to hug Xie Yu back , intending to have a good fight with him.

Then I heard Ou Chen calling him, "Xie Lang."

Xie Lang frowned and looked over, fierce and ruthless.

Ou Chen leaned lazily on the door frame, looked back into Xie Lang's eyes quite calmly, "Go to the supermarket, and make hot pot for dinner."

Xie Lang didn't speak.

The human feeling is a very magical existence.

Feeling disgusted by the man, Xie Lang stayed away from him.

Feeling that Ou Chen was pleasing to the eye, Xie Lang subconsciously looked at him more.

Feeling that Ouchen would feel uncomfortable if he was too close to him, he pushed Ouchen away.

Feeling that Ou Chen's gradual fading out of his sight would make him miss him uncontrollably, Xie Lang tried to accept Ou Chen.

At this moment, he felt that Ou Chen's warm and cool voice made him feel very comfortable, so he suppressed his anger obediently.

It was also at this time that Xie Lang unexpectedly discovered that the secret and weird liking in his heart had leaked out along the accidental hole.

It was rare for Xu Haoyu not to choke Ouchen, and he followed his words, "Okay, let's go to the supermarket...don't cry baby, let's go to the supermarket and buy delicious food."

Xie Yuyu didn't say a word, it took him a long time to wipe his tears on Xu Haoyu's shoulder, and then looked up at his brother.

After all, Xie Lang was still soft-hearted, and he didn't really get angry with Xie extra. Seeing the child's eyes were red from crying, he quickly hugged him and patted him twice, "Okay, don't cry, go Wash your face, let's go to the supermarket."

After visiting the supermarket, eating hot pot, and eating a cake and a bowl of longevity noodles with Xie Yu, Ou Chen led Ou Ziyu home.

After that, we didn't see each other for a few days.

Ever since he knew that Xie Lang didn't resist him that much, Ou Chen went back to the days when he would unconsciously think of Xie Lang every day.

Although I thought about it before, it was not as turbulent as I thought these days.

He could hardly bear to miss him that day, so he sneaked into Thirteenth Middle School to find Xie Lang.

Originally, he wanted to take a look and leave, but before he saw Xie Lang, he passed by the stairs on the first floor and saw someone pushing Ye Yunyang unfriendly.

Ou Chen doesn't like to meddle in other people's business, but Ye Yunyang has a good time with him after all, he can't just sit and watch his ex-boyfriend being bullied, then it will be rumored that Ou Chen is still a fool.

So he took a few steps towards the man without hesitation.

The man had his back to him, he was tall, wearing a black down jacket, he looked very strong, and Ou Chen didn't care if he could beat him, so he raised his foot and kicked the man's back.

Ye Yunyang was on guard when he saw Ou Chen walking towards him, and when Zhang Pengfei rushed towards him uncontrollably, he quickly dodged away.

"Brother Chen! Why are you here!" Sylvia looked at him in surprise.

"Passing by," Ou Chen raised his chin towards the person who hadn't turned around, "Who is this, why are you bullying you?"

Before Ye Yunyang could speak, Zhang Pengfei turned around cursing, and when he saw who was in front of him, his unclean cursing stopped abruptly.

"Yo," Ou Chen glanced at him and recognized who this person is, "Old acquaintance, what's the matter? Do you want to go to the hospital for an injury check to see if I kicked your tailbone off so you can blackmail me?" 5 yuan?"

It was about the last time zhang qingyang had his front teeth knocked out by xie lang to ask xie lang to pay him back.

Zhang qingyang was embarrassed and dissatisfied, but he also knew that he could not offend Ou Chen, so he simply ignored him, patted the dust on his body and left.

Ou Chen stretched out his hand to stop him, "Hey? Why are you leaving in such a hurry, there's no class yet."

Then he turned his head and asked Ye Yunyang, "Yunyang, why did he push you just now?"

"It's nothing... just a little misunderstanding." Sylvia smiled, as if he didn't want to say more.

In fact, if Ye Yunyang didn't say anything, Ou Chen could probably guess that it's just because Ye Yunyang is gay, and in this society, no matter adults or underage students, the word "homosexual" is quite contemptuous and disgusting.

So Ou Chen can understand Ye Yunyang's situation very well, but he can't understand his mood very much. After all, no one around him has shown such malice to him.

"Apologize." Ou Chen didn't say much, and only asked Zhang Pengfei to apologize to Ye Yunyang.

"Why should I apologize?" Zhang Pengfei's dissatisfaction was already obvious, "It was because of his improper behavior that I couldn't look directly at him. I didn't ask him to apologize... Hold!"

Ou Chen couldn't stand listening anymore, so he punched Zhang Qingfei in the face.

"You're fucking sick!" Zhang Pengfei yelled loudly, and he couldn't believe it. In his school, he could still suffer from Ou Chen!

"Well, I'm sick," Ou Chen looked at him quite shyly, as if looking at a piece of garbage, "Who told you that your face caused me nausea that I couldn't look directly at, I didn't ask you to apologize to me It's already giving you a lot of face, you better put it down, can you understand people's words, rubbish."

"I..." Zhang qingyang hadn't even uttered a beautiful swear word when the dean hurried over.

"Ou Chen!!" the dean yelled, clutching his heart, "You're fighting in our school again!!!"

"No, Director..." Ou Chen turned around with a smile, and saw Xie Lang standing next to the director.

Xie Lang's expression was a bit ugly, he couldn't tell if he was angry or something, it was quite complicated and hard to describe.

However, Ouchen was inexplicably vigilant, subconsciously put some distance away from Ye Yunyang, and walked towards the director laughing, "Director, I just came for a stroll. I really didn't fight. If you don't believe me, you can ask this classmate Zhang."

The director looked at Zhang Pengfei, "Did he beat you? Just tell me if he beat you. I must let the director treat him well!"

"No!" Zhang qingyang said through gritted teeth.

"Really?" The director didn't quite believe it, and glanced up and down at Zhang Pengfei, "Then what did you do to the corner of your mouth?"

"..." Zhang Qingfei glanced at Ouchen, and wanted to say that the dog bit him, but after thinking about how this person got his elder brother in, he still answered honestly, "It's bubbling. Director, I'm going back to work first."

He left without looking at anyone.

The director was not so easy to dismiss. He sent Xie Lang and Ye Yunyang back to work, and dragged Ouchen to the office to recite the magic spell for more than ten minutes. Moisturizing his throat, he waved his hands compassionately, "Okay, class is over now, you should go back to your school quickly."

"Hey..." Ou Chen yawned, stood up and stretched, "Goodbye, Director."

"See you again, don't let me see you, it's almost the final exam, you don't want to study hard, you just think about slipping every day, are you worthy of the parents who support you to go to school..."

Ou Chen couldn't hear what the director said later.

After leaving the teaching building, Ouchen turned to the small road on the left, counting the direction of the fifth floor while walking.

Xie Lang's seat was next to the window, if he was looking out of the window right now, maybe he could still see Ou Chen.

Ou Chen also thought about whether he should sneak up to take a look at Xie Lang again, but he held back when he recalled Xie Lang's ugly face just now.

Based on his understanding of Xie Lang, [-]% of Xie Lang is already jealous at the moment, and the remaining [-]% is the way out he left for himself.

If Xie Lang wasn't jealous, then just treat him as farting.

In fact, Xie Lang's mood right now couldn't be described as jealous.

To be more precise, it is fear.

Yes, it is fear.

When he met Ou Chen and Ye Yunyang standing together just now, he didn't feel it, he just felt a little twisted in his heart, and he couldn't breathe smoothly.

After savoring it carefully for a while, I realized that I was afraid.

Because he had never been close to Ouchen before, he didn't think he would develop any kind of relationship with Ouchen one day, but after Ouchen tried to develop a relationship with him, even with Xie Lang's heart Some unspeakable thoughts also became unscrupulous.

Later, because he really hated Ouchen like that, he pushed him away indifferently.

But getting used to this feeling of emptiness created an invisible bond between the two of them.

Although Xie Lang used to deliberately avoid and subconsciously resist, he had to admit that every moment that Ou Chen flashed before his eyes from time to time made him inexplicably at ease.

It was the peace of mind of having one's feet on the ground.

And these days after Ou Chen was pushed away by him, although no one could arouse his resistance to nausea anymore, it also made him feel empty in his heart.

That kind of emptiness is not the emptiness that falls infinitely from a height of thousands of miles and never touches the ground.

It's the air that is clearly standing on the ground, but still in a highly suspended state.

This made him flustered.

It also made him like Ou Chen more and more intensively.

It was so dense that just seeing him standing with Ye Yunyang, he felt that this person was getting farther and farther away from him.

That's why he's subconsciously afraid...

The image of Ou Chen and Ye Yunyang kissing in the corner suddenly appeared in his mind, Xie Lang closed his eyes irritably, shook his head, and expelled this image from his mind.

But what came alternately was the scene of Ou Chen standing next to Ye Yunyang.

This time he didn't shake his head, but let the picture zoom in infinitely in his mind, and when he could measure the distance between him and Ochen, he slowly opened his eyes.

He thought, if...

If I can take a step closer to Ouchen...

Then Ou Chen doesn't need to stand on the opposite side of himself...

As soon as this idea suddenly appeared, all the previous sadness, twisting, entanglement of wanting to hold but not daring to hold and the fear at the moment all turned into a tenacious and persistent force, urging Xie Lang to take the step that he never wanted. The first step to dare to think.

I can think about it.

How to take this first step is another more acute question.

Until the end of the third class in the afternoon, he failed to come up with an appropriate answer.

And now he doesn't have time to think about it anymore, the experimental primary school is about to end, and he has to pick it up to thank the superfluous.

The last class was English, and Ouchen skipped it immediately.

After thinking about it, he always felt that there was something in Xie Lang's eyes that he couldn't understand, but this kind of thing couldn't be pondered by himself. At that moment, Ou Chen finally couldn't sit still.

He slipped out of school directly and went to No. [-] Middle School.

At this point, there was still some time before the experimental elementary school was over. He thought that if Xie Lang couldn't be blocked in the thirteenth middle school, he would go directly to Xie Lang's house to block him.

Rabbits bite people when they are impatient, but he, a farmer, can't bite rabbits twice when he is impatient.

He ran all the way to the gate of No. [-] Lieutenant Colonel, and was just about to sneak over to the old place where Xie Lang usually found out, when he heard someone calling him behind him.

"Ouchen?"

Still uncertain.

Ou Chen suddenly turned his head, and saw Xie Lang who was wearing a down jacket and hat with his head sticking out from the bus stop sign.

It's not embarrassing to be seen by Xie Lang, but it's a bit embarrassing to be seen by Xie Lang as he gallops over like a full horse.

In fact, he doesn't need to be embarrassed, as long as he said that he came to find Ye Yunyang.

But Ou Chen is not an idiot, he is very clear that in this situation, he can only choose between face and Xie Lang.

So he chose the face without hesitation...

"Ah," Ou Chen said quite relaxedly, "I'm here for a run."

This embarrassing face... without the wind blowing, he rolled into the trash can and passed away peacefully.

"Oh," Xie Lang is not an idiot, of course he can see Ou Chen's unnatural inconsistency at the moment, so he kindly didn't expose it, "I'll pick up Xie Yuyu."

"Coincidentally, I'm also going to pick up Ou Ziyu, let's go together." Ou Chen said while trotting towards the bus stop sign, playing the role of running wholeheartedly.

But when he seriously ran to Xie Lang, he suddenly remembered that Ou Ziyu hadn't been able to get up to go to school this morning because of a bad cold.

Then where is he going to pick up Ou Ziyu now?
