Under the shadow

January 2021, 1, New Year's Day

The kitchen was filled with smoke, and the smell of food wafted from the unclosed kitchen, hitting the taste buds of Qin Si who was watching TV in the living room.

'Buzz~' A small vibrating sound came into Qin Si's ears, like the sound of a mobile phone vibrating.

But Qin Si's cell phone is by his side right now, and Yu Yang's cell phone is in the kitchen......

Whose was it that rang just now?

Qin Si can be sure that he will never hear wrong, so out of prudence, he called Yu Yang out loud, after all, he has only lived here for less than three months, "Yang Yang?"

"What's the matter?" Hearing Qin Si's voice, Yu Yang came out of the kitchen, smiled and walked over to gently pinch Qin Si's earlobe. The shape of Qin Si's earlobe is beautiful and perfect, just like... ..She is like "Hungry? The meal will be ready in a while"

"No." Qin Si shook his head. Although he didn't understand why Yu Yang always liked to pinch his earlobe, Qin Si didn't think much about it. People have different preferences, just like Mu Zhiqi likes to pinch his face, Mr. Lin Junyue It's a forehead, Xia Tian always likes to shake her shoulders, and she...... always likes to rub her hair.

After thinking about it, Qin Si suddenly froze. How long has it been since he thought of that person?

The last time, it seems to be the time when Fuxi cried......

It's been almost a month, no wonder I seldom even dream about her recently

So, are we also doomed to the point of letting go and forgetting?

But, I don't want to, I really don't want to......

"A Si?"

There was a pain in the earlobe, Qin Si tilted his head following Yu Yang's strength, and begged for mercy with a smile, "I was wrong, I was wrong, Yangyang let go, let go, it hurts a lot"

"You can lose your mind while talking." Seeing Qin Si crying out in pain, Yu Yang felt a little soft-hearted after all. He loosened his grip and folded his hands on his chest. "Fortunately, there is no food on the fire. Okay, what are you calling me for?"

"Do you have other mobile phones or something at home?" Rubbing his red earlobes, Qin Si's eyes revealed an expression of grievance, but he didn't continue to pursue what happened just now. "I just heard the phone vibrate. sound out"

"no"

I don't know what came to mind, Qin Si obviously felt that Yu Yang's expression became unnatural for a moment, and a guilty conscience flashed in his eyes, although the answer he got was no...... ...

But Qin Si is neither a three-year-old child nor a fool

So, it seems, there is

"Oh, maybe I got it wrong."

"Well, well, wash your hands and eat." Pushing Qin Si to the bathroom to wash his hands, Yu Yang took out an old-looking mobile phone from the dark cabinet next to the TV, opened the screen with trembling fingers, and watched Looking at the above information, his eyes are red.

But this scene also fell into Qin Si's eyes at the corner, his eyes were gloomy and complicated, he didn't know what to think.

January 2021, [-] New Year's Day

Time Tavern at the junction of the North and South Districts of City A

"You come back, does she know?"

This was the first meeting of the six people after Ji Huanian left for Northern Europe. The atmosphere was lively and noisy, as usual, but also more like before meeting Qin Si.

And it is obvious that there is no Qin Si in this gathering.

After drinking for three rounds, everyone's faces were more or less drunk. Seeing Ji Huanian sitting alone on the edge of the sofa and meditating, Mu Zifeng walked over with the beer in his hand and sat down beside her, "You come back!" , does she know? Miss Hua Nian"

"What? A Qi entrusted this task to you?" Hearing this, Ji Huanian was stunned for a moment, then the corner of his mouth curled up into a nice arc, and he chuckled, "I just came back to discuss a cooperation, and I will leave in three days, there is no need "

"That's it..."

"Why did you mention Qin Si all of a sudden?" He casually opened a bottle of beer, and Ji Huanian had doubts in his eyes, "You never cared about the twists and turns in these relationships before."

"It's just a strange feeling." Mu Zifeng looked at Ji Huanian who was drinking silently, his eyes were full of concern, imitating Qin Si's tone vividly, "If Qin Si were here, he would probably say 'sister! You drink so much again !It will hurt your stomach'”

Fog rose inexplicably in the eye sockets, it seemed that for a moment, Qin Si's figure really appeared in front of Ji Huanian's eyes, very close, so close that he could touch it.

"Niannian, go see her if you want to see her." As soon as Mu Zhiqi looked up, he saw Ji Huanian's distraught look, sighed softly, walked over to push Mu Zifeng away, sat next to Ji Huanian, and Leaning her head on her shoulder, she said softly, "I'll take you to Ah Si, let's take a look from a distance, she won't know."

Ji Huanian was silent, Mu Zhiqi seemed to want to say something, but was pulled into a familiar embrace by a force, probably because Lin Junyue's hand was too strong, Mu Zhiqi wanted to escape a little uncomfortable.

"Ah Qi, be good, don't move" made Mu Zhiqi, who was still struggling, become obedient in an instant, and leaned softly into Lin Junyue's arms, and stopped moving, staring at her with big eyes full of water vapor " Uh... Yueyue is so fierce"

North District of City A

After dinner, Yu Yang sat on the sofa and flicked his phone boredly, while Qin Si was in the kitchen washing the dishes and picking up the trash.

But it was obvious that both Qin Si and Yu Yang were a little absent-minded and had their own concerns.

I don't know how long the atmosphere remained silent. After struggling, Yu Yang walked to the door of the kitchen, "A Si, I'll go out for a while, you stay at home obediently."

"Okay" is as concise and clear as ever, and as always, without asking too many questions, just like when Yu Yang proposed to be together.

Yu Yang's eyes darkened, but after all, he didn't continue to give any explanation, turned and left the door.

In front of the pool, Qin Si's eyes darkened when he heard the sound of Yu Yang going out, and the movements of his hands obviously paused. He looked through the window in front of him at the unfamiliar figure under the street lamp below.

That person is Jiang Ran...

Yu Yang, in our mutual eyes, who are we.........

For some reason, after seeing Yu Yang's figure coming down the stairs and throwing himself into the embrace of that figure, Qin Si accidentally didn't listen to Yu Yang's words, picked up the coat on the sofa and followed him out the door.

As the two embracing figures got closer and closer in front of his eyes, Qin Si suddenly came to his senses, stopped in his tracks, and hid himself in the darkness of the corner.

Probably because the two people under the streetlight were too dazzling, Qin Si felt that his eyes were inexplicably pierced for a while, and a coldness fell from his eyes, and a self-deprecating smile rose from the corner of his mouth.

What are you looking forward to, and what are you disappointed about?Qin Si

You........ were never an exception.

My heart hurts, but this time, it's not because of Ji Huanian......

Suddenly plunged into darkness, a somewhat cold palm covered Qin Si's eyes, the faint scent of magnolia blossoms surrounded the tip of his nose, and his nose was a little sour for a while, Qin Si's voice was a little hoarse, as if he had a crying tone." Sister Mu......"

"Come with me, even though I was also entrusted by others." Mu Zhiqi, who was recognized behind him, sighed helplessly when he heard the words, but did not let go of the hand covering Qin Si's eyes, but held it with the other hand. Qin Si's wrist, step by step lead her away from the infinitely ambiguous two people under the street lamp.

Qin Si didn't know that when she saw Yu Yang Jiangran meeting and embracing each other, there were two other figures present in the corner not far away......

They not only saw Jiang Ran Yu Yang's ambiguous embrace, but also saw Qin Si's helplessness and embarrassment......

Withdrawing the hand that wanted to touch Qin Si, Ji Huanian's originally open palm gradually clenched into a fist, restraining his desire to go forward, his eyes were depressed and distressed, and finally, he looked helplessly at his side and supported himself Mu Zhiqi, weak and humble.

"Aqi, take Ah Si away, please......"
