lark

After Qin Peng finished speaking, the room was eerily quiet.

Lin Nan paused: "Which person?"

"Isn't it the one at the entrance of the unit building? I even hugged you. A colleague who was filming?"

"Oh, you talk about him." Lin Nan tried his best to calm himself, and said as he walked into the room, "It's just a friend. Today we have our company's annual meeting, just drop me off on the way."

"You're doing really well, brother, your friend looks like he's worth a lot. He drives that car, and the body is so long..." Qin Peng tutted twice, and Lin Nan couldn't understand the real meaning of what he said.

Lin Nan turned on the light in the room, turned his back to the outside and did not dare to turn around. He was arranging the quilt on the bed indiscriminately, "There are many rich people in the entertainment circle, nothing unusual."

"Yeah." Qin Peng talked to him from a long distance away, "I have to be like you in the future, manage my network well, and broaden the structure."

Lin Nan was afraid of making too many mistakes, so he stopped answering, took out his pajamas and said, "Do you wash first or I will wash first."

"You wash it first, I have to have a video chat with my girlfriend, she got angry with me again today because of my visit to City Y."

Lin Nan nodded, walked to the bedroom and suddenly remembered that he had left the gift from Qi Yubai in the living room, and hurriedly put down the things and went back to the living room.Qin Peng was on the sofa with his legs crossed on the phone, his mobile phone held above his head with a hippie smile on his face.Lin Nan pretended to take the bag from the living room casually, walked quickly back to the bedroom and closed the door, locking it gently.

He put the handbag flat on the bed, squatted by the bed and took out a flat box inside, removed the ribbon on it, and found a mottled gray cashmere scarf inside.

Although the style is still very simple, the material is much better than his previous one.Lin Nan picked it up, touched it, and rubbed it on his cheek, feeling warm and comfortable.Before Qi Yubai said that his old scarf was left on the car, and the two of them separated naturally had no chance to get it. Lin Nan guessed that the scarf should have been disposed of, so Qi Yubai just made one for himself.

He looked and looked, and finally hung the gift in the closet. He was reluctant to throw away the boxes and bags, and put them all away at the bottom of the closet.

When he slept at night, he leaned on his arm and thought about what gift he should give Qi Yubai back.The expensive ones are unaffordable, and the cheap ones are not in line with the other party's taste. After thinking about it for ten minutes, I still can't come up with the result.Later, he thought, maybe wait until he gets the remuneration for the last film before buying, then he should have more money on hand, so that he won't be unable to buy suitable ones.

After making up his mind, Lin Nan couldn't help but jumped out of bed again, opened the closet and took a picture of the scarf, and then went back to bed contentedly.

Early the next morning, Lin Nan got up and went out of the room to see that Qin Peng was still sleeping on the sofa, with laptops and earphones on the table casually, apparently playing late into the night.

"Qin Peng, Qin Peng, get up." Lin Nan shook his shoulder, "It's past eight."

Qin Peng rubbed the staring eyes of the sleeping fan, and uttered an unhappy syllable, dawdling and refusing to get up.

"This broken sofa is killing me...Brother, why did you call me so early? I haven't woken up at eight o'clock."

"Didn't you say that there is a job fair today and you are going to try your luck?"

Qin Peng seemed to remember that such a thing happened, and muttered in his mouth: "It's really annoying, it's really annoying to find a job, and I have to find a place to print my resume."

Lin Nan thought for a while and said, "Give me the disk, I'll go downstairs and print it for you, wash your face and change your clothes."

Qin Peng promised to find out the tray and hand it to him, and stood up from the sofa, not forgetting to say to Lin Nan: "Hurry up, brother, buy another breakfast and bring it with you, I love you."

Lin Nan changed his shoes and went out. Many elderly people in the community had already pulled small shopping carts out, and there was also a team of elderly people in uniforms who were exercising in the open space, not afraid of the cold at all.Looking at it, Lin Nan felt full of life, and couldn't help but took out his mobile phone and took a photo of the group name "Bu Lao Song Er Tuan" on their banner for Qi Yubai.

The printing shop in the community is not far away, but Lin Nan forgot that they don't open so early.He thought for a while facing the closed shutter door downstairs, and then ran to the social security office outside the community and repeatedly begged for help to print it.The staff probably looked at him pitifully, reluctantly took the disk and inserted it into the printer, muttering: "How can we work if we are like you?"

The people sitting in the waiting area with their numbers in the lobby looked this way one after another when they heard the voice.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Lin Nan stood in front of the service desk with a blushing face, his back shrinking in embarrassment. "My brother was in a hurry to attend the interview. It was too late yesterday and I didn't prepare a resume. I'm really sorry."

After finishing his resume, he bought two breakfasts on the way back, carefully holding the paper in one hand to prevent it from getting oily, and walking home with food and drink in the other.

On the way, the phone in his trousers pocket vibrated, and Lin Nan's heart moved. He wanted to take out the phone to see if Qi Yubai had replied to his message, but he couldn't do it, so he had to hurry home.

Usually at this time Qi Yubai has already woken up and is probably still on his way to work.With this talk, Lin Nan planned to tell him that he liked the scarf he gave him very much, and that he would wear it when he saw him next time. He also wanted to ask in advance if he could give him a gift in return.

He thought about the wording in his mind, and knocked on the door with a smile on his face.

"Here we come!" Qin Peng's voice came from the room, followed by the sound of a string of leather shoes.

As soon as the door opened, Qin Peng turned around and ran in, looking at the full-length mirror in the bedroom while calling Lin Nan: "Brother, let me wear your scarf."

Lin Nan was so shocked that he didn't even have time to take off his coat. He put down his breakfast and resume and walked to the bedroom. He saw that the wardrobe door was wide open. He was wearing black clothes and a large cotton jacket over his formal suit, and he was fiddling with the gray scarf around his neck with both hands.

"Why are you rummaging through my things?!" Lin Nan was angry and rushed forward to question him.

"Ah?" Qin Peng looked at him with a strange expression, "I didn't rummage, I just opened the closet and took a scarf. Why are you talking so rushingly?"

"Why didn't you tell me if you wanted to take my things." Lin Nan said in a slow tone, "Take it and return it to me."

"Borrow me, bro, why are you so stingy." Qin Peng was still looking in the mirror, "The weather forecast says it's zero degrees today, and I'll die without a scarf. It's so cold when the wind blows around my neck." Like I just fell in love with this scarf and insisted on wearing it to go out.

"This won't work." Lin Nan said anxiously.

Qin Peng said impatiently: "Which one is different? Besides, there is only one in your closet, so I just took it out."

"This one really doesn't work, I'll buy you another one another day."

"Oh, I've already put them on, and I still need to change them. Why are you still so nagging, are you annoying?" He tied the scarf around his neck tightly with both hands, without any intention of taking it off.

"Take it off quickly." Lin Nan simply reached for his neck, "Hurry up!"

"Fuck, I'll do it myself." Qin Peng was obviously frightened by his reaction, and stepped back, "As for you, isn't it just a scarf, and it's worth your distress."

He took off the scarf and threw it on the bed, "Give it back to you." Then he gave Lin Nan a look and went out.The scarf fell to the ground next to the edge of the bed. Lin Nan was so angry and anxious that he didn't care to quarrel with him, so he hurriedly picked up the scarf from the ground and patted it twice.

Qin Peng's voice came from the living room, "Why did you just type up one resume? The job fair requires a lot of copies. You really don't understand, or you are stingy..."

Lin Nan knew that he was trying to find fault and quarrel, so he retorted angrily: "Why am I stingy? I didn't buy your mobile phone? I didn't pay for the suit?"

He has a gentle personality, and the more he is really angry, the more he is speechless. He can't speak vicious words except that his chest hurts from holding back. The last time he quarreled with Qi Yubai was extremely rare.Besides, he often loses his voice before he can say a few words, which is not the material for quarrels at all.

Qin Peng snorted coldly: "If Mom didn't let you buy it, would you buy it? How many times have you been willing to buy something for me? When a celebrity earns so much money, you can buy these two things and talk about it all day long. Don't you care about money?!"

Ever since he was a child, Lin Nan has been angry with his younger brother not once or twice, and he always closes the door and ignores it, and this time is no exception.Standing at the door, his heart was full of anger and chills. He wanted to scold Qin Peng for being a wolf, but he was afraid that the other party would hear him crying, so he simply sat back on the bedside and stopped talking.

Qin Peng walked around the room cursing when he was rendered speechless.

Not long after, there was the sound of a door being slammed shut outside.Lin Nan sat on the bed and slowly calmed down for a while, making up his mind to never care about family affairs, but he himself knew that this kind of vow had been made more than once.

The house was quiet again. He checked the scarf over and over again to make sure that there was no dust on it, and then hung it up again.After a while, he walked out of the house and sat at the table. He took out the steamed bun he bought and wanted to take a bite. He touched it with his finger, only to find that it had cooled down a bit.

There was an oily paper bag on the table, which was originally used to hold deep-fried dough sticks, which should have been eaten by Qin Peng.Lin Nan put down the steamed stuffed bun in his hand and went to throw away the garbage left on the desktop, then wiped his hands and took out his mobile phone to check the messages.

There is only one new message, which is Qi Yubai's four words: "What do you mean?"

Lin Nan immediately imagined the appearance of that person.Qi Yubai must have carefully looked at the picture with his mobile phone, but he didn't understand why he sent such a thoughtless picture.He stared deeply at these four words, and felt like laughing when he saw them, and his nose was sour when he smiled, and he typed each word slowly with his bright eyes: "Will Mr. Qi change one day?" Be an old man."

He guessed that Qi Yubai on the other end must be even more inexplicable at this time, maybe he would no longer pay attention to himself, and would simply throw the phone on the desk, just like he had seen in the office.

The steamed stuffed bun was still alone on the table, and the temperature dropped little by little.Lin Nan covered it with his hand, got up and went to the kitchen to turn on the microwave for 1 minute, and it immediately became steaming again.He went back to sit at the table, filling his stomach bit by bit.

It's not exactly the perfect morning to start the day.But it's not easy not to go hungry, at least for a considerable number of people in the world.

The phone on the table vibrated again, and the screen lit up suddenly, and a new message appeared.

"You'll be an old man one day too, and also, don't take pictures and laugh at people."

Lin Nan couldn't help laughing.Such a tone, such a way of writing, is obviously still cold, but like the charcoal brazier he had baked at his grandma's house when he was a child, it is indeed a bit suffocating, but the warmth is still the same as before.
