Baby

The change that this incident brought about between the two brothers seems to be very drastic, but it seems to have no effect.

After returning home, the warm and interesting trip ended, and the family returned to a peaceful daily life.Jiang Ye went to work from nine to five every day, Tang Li guarded the shop conscientiously, Tang Daihe took care of Jiang Shaohui at home, and occasionally took the goat out for a walk.

Such ordinary days lasted until the day when Lan Shijing sent a text message.That day, Jiang Ye was changing plans in the company and was about to pack up and leave work when his phone vibrated suddenly.

I picked it up and saw that it was a number from another province named "Lan".

Jiang Ye recalled it for five seconds before confirming that Lan Shijing was the only one with the surname "Lan" among all his clients in the past month.

Complicated feelings slowly spread in his chest.

The content of the text message is: "Mr. Jiang, I will come to you on a business trip next week. The work of adults is really hard. When do you plan to buy me a drink?"

At this point, it is quite good at picking the time.

Jiang Ye raised his hand and replied, "Let's talk about it when you come. Feel free, I'll treat you."

As a result, Lan Shijing came faster than he expected.

"The work is really getting harder and harder these days." Lan Shijing, who arrived late, was sweating profusely. She raised her glass and poured a big mouthful of ice water as soon as she sat down. Take it out and fight it out. Not to mention overtime work and business trips, there is no allowance. The little secretary has no human rights!"

Saying that, Lan Shijing sighed deeply.Today she is wearing a black, white and gray professional attire, with formal light makeup on her face.Jiang Ye knew that she had just returned from a business trip and was feeling bitter, so he could only smile dryly and listen to her complaints.

"My colleague said something before, and I think it's so true! He said that we poor people trade our health for a little money. And the rich people trade small money for big money."

Jiang Ye echoed while helping her make tea.Lan Shijing complained for a long time, and drank tea dryly.Jiang Ye always felt a little absent-minded, and Ying and her were also a little perfunctory.Lan Shijing felt strange, and asked him if he had any troubles recently.

Jiang Ye pondered for a while, then looked up at Lan Shijing with a half-smile: "When did you become so talkative?"

"People have to grow up," Lan Shijing knew that Jiang Ye was making fun of herself, so she just smiled and clinked glasses with him, "every day, every day, all the romantic feelings are slowly worn away. At that time, The ignorant little girl is now turning into a strong woman mother who loves her career."

Jiang Ye smiled: "Are you pregnant?"

"Not yet, but I have plans."

Seeing Lan Shijing's happy face when she mentioned the baby, Jiang Ye couldn't help feeling a little emotional.Time is really relentless, Lan Shijing's changes over the years seem to be a bit abrupt, but in fact it is reasonable and life dictates.After smoothing out the youthful edges and corners, and slowly fading away the light that the time machine gilded on the memory, everyone is just an ordinary person who lives desperately to make a living.

Jiang Ye smiled, but said nothing.

In fact, as a man, he is not without the so-called "first love complex".The first love in life is always beautiful and regrettable, it is unforgettable.But now seeing that Lan Shijing is doing well, her life is nourishing, she has a husband and she is about to have children, maybe this is not a perfect ending.However, he still seems to be stagnant.Busy with work, busy with taking care of the family, lack of skills is also an aspect, perhaps, emotional confusion is also an aspect.

Thinking of this, Jiang Ye couldn't help recalling what happened a few days ago, Tang Li's wet eyes, his panting...everything is still vivid in his mind.

Jiang Ye's cheeks couldn't help but feel hot.

When the food was served, Lan Shijing stretched out her chopsticks and took a few bites. Seeing that Jiang Ye was still in a daze, she interrupted him dumbfounded: "What have you been thinking about since just now? The food is getting cold."

"Oh." Jiang Ye came back to his senses, touched his nose in embarrassment, and took a bite of food with his chopsticks.Lan Shijing also suddenly remembered something, and asked curiously, "That's right. I remember you used to have a brother who was very close, right?"

"Ah."

"How is he?"

Jiang Ye's expression changed, and he coughed lightly: "Guess?"

"What?" Lan Shijing was overjoyed, "Say what you have to say."

Jiang Ye curled the corners of his mouth and smiled.Lan Shijing's question reminded him of his memory with Tang Li, and he seemed to have a lot to say at once.

"Actually, a lot happened later. My younger brother has changed a lot. I'm really relieved to be an older brother." Jiang Ye gestured in the air with his fingers a few times, "Can you believe it? My brother's cooking skills Better than my mother. Now he has his own little restaurant, and he's made a name for himself."

Lan Shijing also applauded: "That's pretty good. Say hello to him and his younger siblings for me some other day."

Jiang Ye smiled: "Tang Li is not married yet."

"Not married?" Lan Shijing was a little surprised, "Your brother's conditions are pretty good, right? He has a house, a shop, and can cook. You two brothers are so strange, each of you is single, wasting your daughter for nothing." What a great resource my fellow countrymen."

Jiang Ye smirked.

"However, the relationship between the two of you is really good. In fact, after so many years, it is really precious." Lan Shijing smiled and ate her food, and then jokingly said, "Why don't you two get along together in the future Get over it."

When Jiang Ye heard the sound, his heart throbbed and he was stunned for a long time.He was silent for a moment, and then gradually regained his composure, and put on a mixed smile.

"What do you say?"

Lan Shijing was also a little surprised, she was just saying it irresponsibly, but Jiang Ye was really thinking about it.Lan Shijing immediately became interested, and joked without limit: "Maybe it's really possible. Look, hasn't your brother always liked you? I remember when I was a child, he possessed you The desire is so strong that I feel ashamed. When you asked me to go out for my birthday, his little eyes were so bright that he almost burned me to a pulp..."

Jiang Ye laughed loudly: "It's too exaggerated."

"Didn't you notice? It's just that he held back and didn't say anything." Lan Shijing smiled, "Also, didn't you take the two of us out for an outing in that temple before? At that time, you had been following When I talk, I just see him sitting quietly behind you, with a look on his face that wants to talk to you but dare not, it makes me feel like a bad woman who destroys other people's brotherhood. Especially when he is still writing your name on the ground , haha, quite romantic."

Jiang Ye also slowly recalled this incident, and a warm smile could not help but appear on the corner of his mouth.

"The relationship between your brothers was really good at that time. You were like his exclusive babysitter." Lan Shijing looked at Jiang Ye's silly expression, and raised her eyebrows and asked, "Didn't you find out about this yourself?" ?”

Jiang Ye hesitated for a while, and said, "I found out, but I... didn't think deeply about it."

He really didn't think deeply.At that time, the relationship between Tang Li and him had just warmed up, and the two of them were sticky and greasy every day.Jiang Ye still remembered that at that time, he especially liked to tease Tang Li, pressing him to call him brother, and asking him to kiss his face.

Maybe it's still like this until now.The two brothers have been used to it since they were young, so Jiang Ye naturally behaved a little more intimately towards Tang Li, which did not violate harmony at all.Occasionally hugging and talking in a quilt cage can enhance a lot of feelings at once.But he didn't expect that these seemingly ordinary things in his eyes would be so unclear in the eyes of others?

He didn't even expect that other people's feelings were really right.

It turned out that Tang Li's love for him had already begun from such an early age.

But Jiang Ye didn't realize it until now.

But is it love?Tang Li said he loves him, loves him as a brother, or loves him as a man?Jiang Ye's heart was in a mess, and the more he thought about it, the more anxious he felt.

But when he recalled the scene when Tang Li said "love" with red eyes that night, Jiang Ye was so ashamed that he almost covered his face with his hands.

Seeing Jiang Ye like this, Lan Shijing had an expression of resentment: "It seems that straight men are still stubborn, and their brains turn slowly."

"What——" Jiang Ye blushed, as if he was half-ashamed, "Why do you call me straight? Do you think my brother is not straight?"

"I didn't say anything." Lan Shijing clinked a cup and sipped her tea with a smile, "I just said, I knew from before that your brother's mind is actually very delicate and sensitive. But maybe it's just Children are ignorant, so they don't want their brother to be snatched away by outsiders. I'm joking too, don't mind."

Jiang Ye sighed and said nothing more.The two were silent for a moment, and finally opened the next topic tactfully.

After eating, Jiang Ye formally bid farewell to Lan Shijing.After the farewell this time, due to the constraints of the city and time, I am afraid that it will be really difficult for the two to get together again in the future.So they solemnly waved goodbye to each other with the mood of farewell.

"Take care, mother-to-be."

Lan Shijing smiled: "You too."

As a result, the two of them had just taken two steps, when Lan Shijing suddenly turned back wearing high heels, and smiled embarrassedly at Jiang Ye: "Well, I'm sorry, I just forgot. It's just... you know Is there any authentic specialty shop near here? My husband asked me to take some home."

Jiang Ye gestured with his fingers for a long time, but finally found that he couldn't explain clearly, so he simply said, "I'll take you there directly."

In fact, the specialty shops are not very authentic, but in terms of relatives, Jiang Ye still knows a specialty shop that doesn't deceive tourists.Take a taxi for 10 minutes, and you will be there in a blink of an eye.Near a big shopping mall in Xicheng District.

The two talked and laughed all the way to a store. After Lan Shijing came out carrying a large bag and a small bag, her eyes suddenly narrowed in one direction, with a puzzled look on her face.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Ye thought there was something wrong with the goods, but Lan Shijing suddenly said, "I just saw a person who looks a bit like your brother."

"Tang Li?" Jiang Ye's heart skipped a beat. Could it be such an unfortunate coincidence?

Lan Shijing blinked, and said, "But maybe it's because I'm dazzled."

Because it's normal to be wrong, after all, she hasn't seen Tang Li for many years.

Jiang Ye sighed, since he left anyway, it's useless to worry about this now.He had no choice but to call a car for Lan Shijing and put her things in the trunk.Lan Shijing sat in the back seat, pulled down the window, and waved to Jiang Ye with a smile: "Thank you for your trouble today. Then, goodbye?"

"Well," Jiang Ye waved his hand, "Goodbye."
