At the same table, let's make a bet

Xie An pushed the cart and walked beside Chen Haiqing, watching him pick up fresh vegetables, while asking his opinion, Xie An said in his heart: Why do you feel like you suddenly switched to the old couple mode? ?Forget it, it doesn't matter...

Xie An was thinking this way, and when he looked up, he saw Zhou He looking here, wow, what a coincidence.

He tilted his head and smiled at Zhou He. Zhou He froze for a moment, pursed his lips, and walked towards him.

Chen Haiqing raised his head with two cabbages and said to Xie An who was beside him, "Help me weigh them, I'll go and see the others."

Then I saw Xie An tilting his head and smiling strangely in one direction... emmmmmmm?

Following his gaze, he saw Zhou He walking towards him.

Chen Haiqing: ...He forgot that Zhou He's family lived nearby...

Zhou He met his gaze, pursed his lips, and just as he opened his mouth, he heard Chen Haiqing's almost indifferent voice: "I was very sorry yesterday, I drank too much, and I accidentally said everything in my heart..."

Zhou He paused when he heard his words, and stopped five steps away from the two of them, as if he didn't expect Chen Haiqing to say that.

Xie An looked at Zhou He with some complacency, took the cabbage from Chen Haiqing's hand and said, "Is there anything else you want to eat? As long as you say it silly, I will do it."

Chen Haiqing turned to look at the young man who was smiling brightly beside him, and also smiled and said, "It's all right, I like to eat anything made in seven seconds."

Zhou He pursed his lips and said: "I... will go abroad next semester, and we may never see each other again. I just want to apologize to you seriously, I know how cheap I am , I know how sorry I am for you, I know what I've missed, I know we can't be friends anymore...I know it all."

After listening to him patiently, Chen Haiqing said: "From the moment you told Li Feng everything, from the moment you took me into the warehouse, what I lack is not your apology.

"I said it yesterday, I don't think you are sorry for me, you are just pursuing your own life, you are not wrong, we are no longer on the same road.

"From the beginning to the end, there is only one thing I wish for. I hope you will not appear in front of me. It can be summed up in three words, please go away." Chen Haiqing finished the sentence in a very calm tone almost smiling.

Then, he pulled Xie An and said, "Let's go? I'm hungry, should I go back and cook early after shopping?" Then he turned and left.

Sometimes, an insignificant fork in the road in life may cause two brothers and sisters to part ways.

However, it doesn't matter, for Chen Haiqing now, Xie An and his family are enough.

Xie An didn't mention Zhou He's matter, but discussed the ingredients with Chen Haiqing with a smile.

The phone rang suddenly, and Xie An smiled and said, "Wait a minute, I'll answer the call." Then he picked up the phone and glanced at it, raised his eyebrows and added, "The third one is calling."

After picking it up, I heard Chu Huaiyu's still very lazy voice: "Hello? Brother An, do you know what day it is today?"

Xie An replied without hesitation: "The day when I cooked for your sister-in-law for the first time is really memorable."

Chen Haiqing blushed when she heard this, and wondered why she suddenly mentioned this.

Chu Huaiyu was silent for three seconds and said, "Today is my birthday."

Xie An: ...

Xie An immediately turned back and said: "Oh yes, I seem to have written it in my notepad, but I didn't go back to the dormitory last night, so I didn't see it."

Chu Huaiyu sighed, and seemed to be used to Xie An's horrible memory: "I have a birthday party tonight, are you coming? There is a private room for you and Hei Zai. Are you coming, sister-in-law?"

Xie An turned his head and asked: "The third child's birthday is today, and there is a birthday party tonight. He invites you. Are you willing to go? It doesn't matter if you don't, it will save you a lot of money."

Chen Haiqing said with a smile: "Let me call my dad. Anyway, I just finished the exam, and he would like me to play more with my friends. Let's go pick out gifts this afternoon?"

After hearing Chen Haiqing's answer, Chu Huaiyu smiled and said, "Look at how nice my sister-in-law is, but it's enough for you two to give me a gift. By the way, I'm going to announce my relationship with Shi Ming today."

Xie An raised his eyebrows and said, "So fast? Didn't expect you to be bent so abruptly?"

Chu Huaiyu looked at his lover who was cooking in the kitchen and said, "We've known each other for a long time, but we just confirmed our relationship a while ago. It was pretty fast. We've already hit third base. Where's Brother An? We probably just held hands." hand?"

Xie An: ……… Hehehe…

He replied without changing his face: "Not only that, I also helped him take a bath."

Chu Huaiyu laughed softly: "I can't tell, you are like a wolf like a tiger, after all, you have been single for many years."

Xie Anqi said, "When will I arrive at your place? Are you driving at home?"

Chu Huaiyu changed his position and lay down, and said: "Sister-in-law, can't you go back too late? The dark area is also dangerous at night. I'll have a gathering with you at about five o'clock. It just so happens that you won't be able to meet those old men in the black area." , it looks bad.

"It was opened at my house. After all, the people I invited were trustworthy, and the He family also sent people to be guards. It's a pity that Xiaoxiao can't come."

While rubbing Chen Haiqing's hair, Xie An said: "She is still hiding from the He family? She has grown up so much, who would recognize her. And the people following He Yan have already dealt with this matter, haven't they? "

Chu Huaiyu sighed and said, "Just in case, Shi Ming has invited a trusted psychologist to help Xiaoxiao with treatment, and once she recovers, I will send her to study abroad and do what she wants to do. "

Xie An laughed and said, "Why do you sound like an old father? You are only so old, you are underage, okay. Don't follow an uncle and think too much of yourself."

Chu Huaiyu also laughed: "If Ah Ming knew that you called him uncle, he might beat you up soon."

The two chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone.

Chen Haiqing took the ribs he had just selected and said curiously: "I've always been curious why I was called Chu Huaiyu's third child? I'm going to be called sister-in-law? Is the seven seconds the eldest brother? Are you arranged by age?"

Xie An took the bag in his hand, put it in the car and replied: "No, at first it was said that other students should be sorted, and then the three of us were unwilling to be the second child, so Chu Huaiyu said he would be the third child Enough.

"Then I had a fight with Hei Zai, whoever wins is the boss, and I ended up winning. So they will call me Brother An or Big Brother, but no one will call him the second brother Hei Zai, everyone will call him Hei Zai elder brother."

Chen Haiqing nodded and said, "Then what gift should we buy for Chu Huaiyu? He treats us so well, would it be better if it was more expensive?"

Xie An laughed and said, "Come on, he said he wanted a gift just for fun, he has more money than me, if someone buys the information or the location of any gangster from the black area with him, he can do it." Easily earn hundreds of thousands."

Chen Haiqing was surprised: "So many??"

Xie An lowered his head and fiddled with the food in the car: "Yeah, profit always coexists with danger. He has offended many people because of this. If it weren't for He Yan's old subordinates to protect him, he would have died hundreds of times. He even thought about holding a birthday party with great fanfare.

"It used to be opened in Tanya. With the protection of Aya and Qu Yingyi, no one dared to do anything. It doesn't matter. Since he has made such a decision, I have no right to interfere."

Chen Haiqing nodded and did not speak again.

At five o'clock, Chen Haiqing was led by Xie An to the front of Chu Huaiyu's house, Chen Haiqing looked up at the building in front of him, which was as big as Xie's villa, and said softly: "Isn't it expensive to buy such a big house in the black area? "

Xie An pulled him into the building led by a man in black, and replied: "It's expensive, the housing prices in black areas are very high, he probably has money and nowhere to spend it, but part of the money is He Yan left it for him. I don't know why he bought such a big house by himself, and he didn't invite his aunt. Usually, even bodyguards are not allowed into his house, and Xiaoxiao can't come here blatantly, so it's usually cold It's like a haunted house, oh yes, it's pretty dirty."

After Chen Haiqing listened, it took him a long time to say: "Then he must be... very lonely, right? Always alone."

Xie An smiled and said, "Do you know how I and they got together? Because we both saw the familiar loneliness in each other's eyes."

Before Chen Haiqing could say anything, he heard Chu Huaiyu's lazy voice: "Yeah, here we come. Hei Zai is here too, but the second sister-in-law is not here. Hei Zai thinks it's too dangerous here, so he didn't bring her here. Come in." ? There are delicious ones."

As soon as Chen Haiqing looked up, he saw Chu Huaiyu leaning on the door frame, wearing simple short-sleeved trousers.

His hair was slightly long and seemed to be neglected, and it stood on his head in a mess. Behind him stood a very mature-looking uncle in a white coat.

The uncle smiled and said, "Hello, my name is Shi Ming."

Chu Huaiyu leaned gently on Shi Ming's arms and said, "This is my boyfriend."

Xie An raised his eyebrows and said, "This is my boyfriend, Chen Haiqing. It wasn't easy for us to find a partner."

Chu Huaiyu smiled while walking inside: "Yeah, at that time I thought Brother An was going to be an orphan."

Hei Zai was already sitting at the table. Seeing them coming in, he waved his hand and said, "Brother An, hello sister-in-law! Come over and eat? These are all made by my sister-in-law."

The four sat down, no romantic candlelight, no birthday cake, no symphony orchestra, but three close friends and their respective partners.

After the dinner was over, Xie An picked up the wine glass, stood up and said, "Then, here, I would like to wish our cutest third child a happy birthday, and wish him and his other half to spend every day together. Cheers .”

After clinking glasses one by one, they drank it all in one gulp.

The other three toasted one by one, but Chen Haiqing took warm milk.

Chen Haiqing and Xie An were chatting, Chu Huaiyu walked to Chen Haiqing's side with a wine glass and said, "Sister-in-law, brother An, lend it to me, and I will catch up with him."

Chen Haiqing smiled and said, "You guys go." Then he got up to find Hei Zai and Shi Ming who were chatting.

Chu Huaiyu took Xie An to the balcony. Leaning on the balcony on the third floor, he could see most of the scenery in the dark area. It was not completely dark yet, but the nearby shops had turned on their neon signs.

Chu Huaiyu looked down at the land where he had played since childhood and asked, "How did Brother An know that he fell in love with sister-in-law?"

Xie An took a sip of his wine and said, "I don't know, it might be a bit sloppy to say it.

"I just know that this relationship is very special, how special it is, whether it is special enough to allow us to live a lifetime, I don't know.

"If you have to say when you started to like him, it's probably from seeing him writing on the blackboard on the first day of school and thinking this guy is great, to when he was serious during military training, I bet he thought this guy was cute, and then to singing in the chorus On the eve of the festival, he foolishly came to comfort me and made me feel how wonderful it would be if I could go on with him.

"In the end, I suddenly discovered that a person can be so important to me. I would blush because of a compliment or a smile from him, and I would feel heartbroken and distressed because I saw him silent and sad, but is this feeling real? What about love? What is love?

"Is it the kind of determination written in the book that is willing to give everything for him? Or is it willing to make an oath to him? Who knows..."

Chu Huaiyu chuckled lightly: "Yes, we are still too young, after all, we are not yet adults.

"Sometimes I really admire Aya. He willingly gave himself up and trusted someone without reservation. I can't do it. But I always think that he is the most beautiful appearance of love."

Xie An turned his head to look at Chu Huaiyu and said, "Why did you say this suddenly? Do you think Shi Ming can't be trusted?"

Chu Huaiyu squeezed out a smile, took a sip of his wine and said, "He is a wonderful person, I have never met anyone who cares about me so unconditionally in my life, except for Brother He of course.

"People like us may be the most easily moved. Like a hedgehog, it looks like it's full of thorns, but once the other party gives us a candy, we can reveal our softest place, but we don't We don't know if there are shards of glass in the candy, and we don't know if the other person is holding a knife in the other hand.

"If I was just a person, I might have fallen into it willingly, but now there is Xiaoxiao behind me... If I leave, those old cadres alone can't protect Xiaoxiao at all."

Xie An sighed and said, "Don't always think that something will happen to you, okay? You are only 16, you are still young, and you haven't even finished a fifth of your life."

Chu Huaiyu took another sip of wine and said, "Aya will become independent at 12."

Xie An said seriously: "Chu Huaiyu, you have to remember that you are also human, don't always think of saving the world like He Yan and Qu Yingyi, you can't save everyone, you can't do everything perfectly .

"What was Aya doing when she was independent at the age of 12? When he met Qu Yingyi at the age of 14, how much hurt did he suffer before they got together? When you are young, try to let go and do something."

Chu Huaiyu laughed and said, "To tell you the truth, ever since you joined your sister-in-law, you are full of the smell of books.

"Yes, I can't save everyone, and I can't do everything well, but I want to do my best to take every step well.

"Brother He gave me someone, so I can't be careless. If I take a wrong step, I may lose not only my worthless life, but also the lives of others.

"I can be responsible for my choices, but Xiaoxiao was dragged into the water before she made a choice, which is unfair to her."

Xie An sighed, "Then what do you want?"

Chu Huaiyu drank the last drop of wine and said: "I left a sum of money and a note for Xiaoxiao, and deposited it in the bank you know with your name, and the password is your birthday.

"If something happens to me, it's enough to find a way to tell Xiaoxiao about it, and tell her to live well."

Xie An raised his hand and rubbed Chu Huaiyu's messy hair and said, "You can trust your lover with confidence. Hei Zai and I are behind you.

"And don't act like you are five or sixty years old every day. Go out and see the world more. This world is more beautiful than you imagine. You will meet different people and things. Then think about it. follow your grand ideal of saving all mankind."

After taking a last sip of wine, he waved his back to Chu Huaiyu and said, "It's getting late, I'll take Xiaoshabai back.

"Happy birthday third. I bought a set of sexy pajamas for you two, and I gave it to the bodyguard when I entered the door.

"Call me if you need anything. Hedgehogs and hedgehogs can still help each other." After speaking, he left.

Chu Huaiyu looked at the upright background and thought: Yes, I am only 16, and I still have a lot of things to do, including trusting someone without reservation...

The author has something to say: the third update of this week~

The most fundamental reason for Chu Huaiyu's loneliness comes from distrust of others.

Xie An and Hei Zai are completely lonely in the sense that their parents don't care about them and they lack family care.

So is there any glass slag in this candy...
