I want to send you red roses

It happened to be the time when the big pendulum clock struck twelve o'clock on the hour, and Aunt Lin couldn't hold back any longer, so she went upstairs and asked the two of them to have lunch.

Yu Tang opened his eyes soberly, but couldn't wake up from his thoughts for a while.

what is this.

She moved her eyes silently, and then looked at the monster-looking person on the sofa.

The man was smiling at her again.

Yu Tang closed her eyes, she actually slept until twelve o'clock, she didn't feel anything unusual, after all, she closed her eyes at four o'clock, and it's hard to open them at five o'clock.The only question is - why is Duan Tingxi so energetic.

After lying silently for a while, Yu Tang felt a certain disillusionment. When he got out of bed, his waist was sore, his legs were weak, and his hands were cramp.

……

She was really speechless, and after washing and washing as if nothing had happened, she went downstairs to eat.

Aunt Lin blamed the caring for the two of them. After the meal, she said tactfully and implicitly: "It's okay to mess around, but you have to work, rest and eat regularly, or you won't feel good if you have a stomachache."

"I..." Yu Tang's voice was a little hoarse when he opened his mouth.

...I ache everywhere.

Originally, today's plan was to go out, and a group of friends rushed to Lin Xiyue's house to celebrate her birthday, but after drinking three glasses of water to moisten her throat, Yu Tang hesitated to leave, and sat cross-legged in front of Aunt Lin, watching her knitting sweater.

Duan Tingxi leaned against the door frame and couldn't help laughing. After teasing Angela, he took off the big plush scarf, circled her from behind, and walked away.

It was said to be a large group of friends, but in fact, apart from Duan Tingxi and Yu Tang, that is, Jiang Li, Lu Wei, and Lin Xiling and Lin Xiyue, who were biological sisters, other unfamiliar friends did not call home.

"Okay, sister, I ask you not to take out your gift this year. I really want to cross the age of 30 with peace of mind."

Lin Xiyue stood at the door with her hips akimbo to welcome the guests, but she put on an ugly refusal to her sister. After seeing Lu Wei's silent expression, she gently explained to her: "Your Teacher Lin gave me a piece of cake last year. The triangular collarbone polished by the children's laboratory is said to be hanging on the head of the bed to ward off evil spirits, and the year before last was a resurrected skull dug out of the soil, which claimed to hold down the dead souls underground for 3000 years, and it could be used as a town house. We don’t know what the toes of the pharaohs of Egypt can do... I won’t talk about it before.”

Lu Wei silently picked up the things in his hand: "...but this year is a cake."

"...??" Although a little surprised by Lin Xiling's changes this year, Lin Xiyue still faintly disliked it, "What era is this, why do you still want to buy cakes?"

"Nonsense, blowing out candles and making a wish is an important part, absolutely indispensable." Lin Xiling took Lu Wei's shoulders into the door, and took the person behind him as an example: "For example, Duan Tingxi, since she was 16 years old, her wish every year is her. Don’t let the old man of the family go bankrupt, and then she really has been a rich third generation, which shows that she is still a strange spirit.”

"..."

Duan Tingxi, who was cueed by her, simply led Yu Tang generously, stepped in like a dog, held up the big red cloth bag that Aunt Lin used to buy vegetables every day, and ordered food like a treat: "Eat first, then make a wish." Cai Ling—it’s too troublesome to cook, how about we cook hot pot today?”

"It's not good!" Jiang Li was carrying a large bag of onion, ginger and garlic, and he opened his mouth to attack two to five to eighty thousand: "This leader, you probably are afraid of exposing your cooking skills because you don't work hard and don't know the grains. , just trying to cook all the ingredients in one pot?"

Lin Xiling and Lu Wei, who can eat anything, took a look at the two people who entered the door and pinched each other. They turned to the balcony without saying a word, happily chatting about the lake view downstairs, so as not to be affected by innocence.

Duan Tingxi ignored Jiang's grass carp's provocation today, but after inspecting Lin Xiyue's refrigerator for a while, he turned to Yu Tang and asked, "Except for the meat rolls, I have everything else I should have. How about eating hot pot?" good?"

Naturally, Yu Tang didn't say anything bad, took the bag in her hand, took out a piece of frozen mutton, quickly went to the kitchen and bowed his head, and with only a few small knives, he sliced ​​and rolled it out on the spot.

Jiang Li was angry, so he peeled a few scallions, ginger and garlic, a handful of celery, soaked in bean curd fungus, and prepared to mix some cold dishes.

The two sisters of the knife class took over the kitchen very tacitly. Lin Xiyue was happy and took a plate of melon seeds to the balcony. Soon, a loafer and two rich hands chatted passionately.

I don't know if Jiang carp's cooking skills are from the same master as Yu Tang's, and it's quite decent when it's cooked. As soon as the scallion oil is mixed with a plate of soy lotus vegetables, the aroma comes out.

"It's useless to look at it, this kind of skill is not learned by the handicapped." Jiang Li squinted at Duan Tingqi.

"Show off?" Duan Tingqi raised his eyebrows indifferently, and took a sip from the cup, "With so many seasonings, fried slippers smell good."

"..." Jiang Li felt a little out of breath, his lungs were about to explode.

Yu Tang lowered his head and smiled for a long time with the bamboo shoots in his hands, and temporarily arranged the grass carp in the living room.But there was no rest for 2 minutes, and Jiang Li picked and picked at the things they brought and went to find Duan Tingqi, "What kind of cured fish is there, the head can't be chopped off with an axe!"

Yu Tang, who had pulled out a piece of kitchen paper behind his back, flicked the knife he was about to insert back, and flew directly from the kitchen to the living room, and gave Jiang Li a decisive decision on the preserved fish in Jiang Li's hand.

A clean, painless U-turn.

Jiang Li took back the unfinished words as if nothing had happened: "...What kind of fish is this fish? It looks straight and rigid, but it is actually a mess."

As she spoke, she also picked up the knife, and with a few bangs, a good preserved fish was violently blown into a "blossom sausage" in her hands.

Lin Xiyue, who was on the balcony, immediately turned her head with her scented tea in her hand, hissed with a stomach ache: "...Can you two have a good time, our theme today is to have a simple meal, and not to hold a show-off event."

Yu Tang also came out of the kitchen, wiped his hands and bowed his head: "Stop talking nonsense, this fish was given by Jiang Xiumin."

"Jiang Xiumin?" Jiang Li looked who was it for ten seconds, then found the onion from the corner of his memory, and at the same time raised his eyes when he remembered something: "That's right, has this person Jiang Xiumin seen... ..."

"No." Yu Tang rolled the wiped paper into her palm, "If Jiang Xiumin had seen me, she would have recognized me at that time. I met her face to face more than once in Jianzhu Mountain and Lingyin Temple."

"Then why do you ask Dong Mingxiao to take your photo in Baitou Village?" Jiang Li sat on the foam floor loudly, and bounced the paper ball back to Yu Tang, "And what did you do to that long-legged man, he recently How can you run errands so diligently?"

Yu Tang lowered his head and ate strawberries and moved aside, the piece of paper precisely wiped her shoulders and went into the trash can: "I sponsored him a trolley of iron plate squid and an exclusive sauce recipe."

Jiang Li was taken aback when he heard that, and laughed several times on the crooked toy bed.

"By the way," she looked down at the toy and suddenly asked, "Where's Tuantuan?"

Tuantuan is Lin Xiyue's daughter. She is six years old and very well-behaved. She can dance peacock at a young age.

Lin Xiling on the balcony also turned her head, but Lin Xiyue next to her was leaning on the flowerpot like a boneless: "I'm still looking for Tuantuan, the four elders in the family are spinning around her all day long, one is not enough, the whole It’s like chanting scriptures and urging me to have another one, so there’s no time for you to play with it.”

Jiang Li: "..."

Dare to love these days, having children is for fun.

The corner of Lin Xiling's mouth curled up gently, and she was already very low-key and didn't plan to talk to her, but Lin Xiyue still didn't let her go: "I said, sister, this is your 'political mission', and now you are working hard on me all day long. Don't you feel any pain in your conscience?"

Duan Tingxi leaned against the green radish and smiled as if enjoying himself: "What? Your parents are urging you all day, not urging her?"

"Why don't you urge me? The main reason is that she bought a house early on and moved out of the house. When she felt that she would not see anyone complaining about it, my parents can't go to the hospital all day to make troubles. There is really nothing I can do about her." Lin Xiyue hugged Taking a sip of scented tea, "Besides, I knew she had a boyfriend before. After being single for so many years, my parents can't even figure out her sexual orientation now."

Duan Tingxi: "Huh?"

She knew that Lin Xiling had a boyfriend before, but she couldn't figure out what sexual orientation is. Can this thing flow by itself for no reason?

As a result, Lin Xiyue said without hesitation: "She told my parents before that she has no interest in dating now. If she gets annoyed by nagging, she will make do with you."

Duan Tingxi: "..."

with whom?

Yu Tang, who was tasting the soup with a spoon in the kitchen, suddenly raised his eyebrows, turned his head meaningfully, and glanced at Duan Tingxi.

Duan Tingxi: "..."

When she yelled just now, she really didn't expect that she was booking a "cleaned up package" for herself.

Lu Wei, who had been listening quietly all this time, suddenly said, "Mr. Lin, did you have time to fall in love when you were in school?"

"...What do you mean." Lin Xiling turned his head and looked back: "It seems that you didn't talk about it when you were in school."

Lu Wei: "I'm not divided."

"……Oh."

The two of them didn't feel it themselves, but everyone in the room had already turned their gossip eyes.

Lu Wei peeled a pistachio without realizing it: "Mr. Lin, why did you break up?"

Lin Xiling thought about it for a while, and then said uncertainly: "Because he is going abroad to study for a Ph. D.? Forgot."

Lu Wei was quiet for two seconds, glanced at her, fed the pistachios into his mouth, and hummed: "Are you back now?"

"...Then how do I know?" Lin Xiling thought to himself, "I don't really care about him either."

……

Several people looked away again one after another, feeling that the melon was not ripe at all, and it was still light. Only Lin Xiyue's eyes gradually deepened, and he took a good look at Lu Wei—this is an old man who likes to be picked up by Lin Xiling in the past six months. The little girl with me.

Lu Wei ate a few more nuts normally, and after feeling the gaze, he looked back at Lin Xiyue once or twice.

Seeing that everyone's attention was distracted, Duan Tingqi got up from Luluo in a serious manner, restrained his big tail, and sneaked into the kitchen as unobtrusively as possible.

Yu Tang was holding a big spoon to beat bone glue into the soup, the corners of his mouth curled almost inaudibly, waiting to see how this man wanted to behave.

As a result, after Xiao Duan sized her up for a while, while paying attention to the living room, he stretched out his arms from behind Yu Tang, and whispered to her, "I know my baby is the most generous, so I don't need to explain anything." She even let it go on purpose. A sugar-coated cannonball to feel great about yourself: "I love you."

In the end, Yu Tang lowered his head and restrained himself for three seconds, and finally his voice still had a smile that he couldn't hold back: "...I see you are so clever."

"Then if you like it, give me some more." Duan Tingxi hugged her thick-skinned: "I managed to clean up the place for you before, and it was so delicious that you didn't want to live in it. I chatted with Lin Xiling a few times, and she even gave me advice."

Yu Tang spun on the noodle soup: "Go back and write an [-]-character 'suggestion' book for me to read."

"..." Duan Tingxi immediately gave himself a half-fold: "Is it four hundred lines?"

Yu Tang smiled, tapped her with his heel, and chased her away: "Don't be poor, go out, after a while Jiang Li will come in again looking for happiness."

As soon as she finished speaking, Jiang's grass carp, who was supposed to be happy with others, suddenly let out a yelp, slammed the door that had just been opened outside, and shouted with a look of shock: "What are you doing? Why are you so haunted? !"

Wu Yue outside the door touched his nose innocently, held the chocolate and said, "I want to have a meal with you, so I don't invite myself."

As the host, Lin Xiyue was surprised, feeling that today's continuous gossip is very interesting, she got up and leaned over to open the door: "The one chasing our boss? Then come in and have a meal together..."

"What to eat!" Jiang Li immediately bumped into her, and rushed out through the crack of the door like a cannonball, blocking Wu Yue from the door, "Officer Wu, everyone is busy at the end of the year, aren't you busy!"

"Aren't you having a dinner together? Where are you busy?" Wu Yue opened the box in his hand outside the door, and peeled off a wine heart for her with his own hands: "And I'm not busy, I still have five years of annual leave."

"No, no, no, no..." Jiang Li's heart was full of vicissitudes, and he refused him with both hands very simply and rudely: "I'm sorry, Officer Wu, I really don't like you, really——I don't like you!"

Wu Yue immediately glanced at her with some confusion: "Then what do you like?"

"..." He said this, as if Jiang Li could change into whatever he liked.

Duan Tingxi, who was listening through a door, turned his head away from laughing, exhausted his reserve to keep silent.

Lin Xiyue also lay on the crack of the door like a big bat, revealing the nature of gossip, but Lin Xiling and Lu Wei restrained a little, still sat on the sofa with strange and dignified faces, but kept asking: "What do you say?" eh, huh?"

Lin Xiyue: "Shh, shhh—"

The Jiang carp's tongue twirled around in his mouth, so he couldn't say the phrase "I like monkeys", but said very bluntly and vulgarly: "I like people who make millions a year."

Wu Yue: "..."

After a few seconds, he couldn't believe it, and said, "You don't have to use such a vulgar reason..."

"No, no, no, I'm just so vulgar." Jiang Li said quickly: "And I think the correct view of money is to love money, and the correct view of love is to let the other party leave if you don't want to talk. The correct view of the world is nothing."

Yu Tang in the room closed his ears and lowered his head to cut a melon without looking.

Wu Yue outside was prevaricated by her and silently pulled his right hand with his left hand, unexpectedly a little inexplicably naive.

Jiang Li immediately let out a few dry hahas, one of them sneaked back to the door, closed the door ruthlessly and said, "What, Officer Wu, the day after tomorrow is the New Year's Eve, I wish you a happy New Year, bye!"

After the door was closed, Jiang Li deliberately ignored Duan Tingxi, who was smiling all over his face, and ignored the playful and teasing eyes, and blew towards the kitchen where Yu Tang was cooking like a whirlwind.

Why does she always feel...Wu Yue did it on purpose these days.

In the end, Yu Tang didn't even raise the corner of his eyes, and he put the mushrooms on a plate very freely, showing an Oscar-level denial three times.

Jiang Li observed her: "Why do I feel that you are laughing?"

Yu Tang peeled an onion with the palm of his hand: "Your eyes are blurred."

Jiang Li looked up and down: "You are just gloating."

Yu Tang: "Illusion."

Jiang Li was quiet for two seconds, then asked again: "What are you doing these days?"

Yu Tang thought about it for a while before saying, "I watched two movies."

Jiang Li swept her from the chin to the neck, and Yu Tang looked away from the corner of his eye and said, "I also knitted a scarf."

Jiang Li snorted lightly.

Yu Tang: "Okay, I didn't do anything, just let Shuishui pass - anyway, Wu Yue's matter has nothing to do with me, don't care if he chases you or not, at least he must really like you a little bit."

And Duan Tingxi would not be disrespectful, really trying to mislead Wu Yue about something.

Jiang Li groaned immediately, covered his ears and ran out, temporarily dispelling his suspicions.

Seeing her like this, the real "real murderer behind the scenes" was finally happy for a long time.

All kinds of ingredients were quickly put on the table accordingly, big gourd bubbles came up, a few people chatted while eating, and after a steaming hot pot meal, they were full and went back to their respective homes.

After Jiang Li went downstairs, he looked at the street lights outside in the dark night and suddenly said, "Tomorrow is Song Duan's birthday."

Yu Tang looked at her in his pocket, didn't respond much at first, but when Duan Tingxi looked over, he explained to her: "Tomorrow is also Song Duan's mother's death day."

Duan Ting paused for a while: "Did she die in childbirth?"

Yu Tang answered vaguely: "Dystotocia plus premature delivery—in short, since childhood, Song Duan has had a very sad day, and he doesn't want to see anyone."

Duan Tingxi thought for a while, but nodded slightly, and said nothing.

Jiang Li leaned on the black lamppost and folded his legs: "Sadness is sadness. After all, no one wants to encounter this kind of thing. But that old man of the Song family is too shameless. Logically, even if this matter is similar to Song Duan's It's not irrelevant, and it's not caused by her. But the old man is very gloomy on this day every year, making it feel like Song Duan should go down to die with him since he was a child. "

Yu Tang listened and took a breath into his lungs.

"I remember that I and A Tang were young at the time, and I didn't know much about it. For the first time, I ran to Song Duan's house with a cake, arguing to celebrate her birthday, and ended up bumping into Song Zhe at the top of the stairs. I can't forget the look in his eyes at that time." Jiang Li raised his eyebrows casually, straightened up after speaking, and opened the car door, "Stop talking nonsense, it's so cold, let's go."

But just as she got into the car, she suddenly asked, "Where do you want to go this New Year's Eve, Ah Tang?"

When Duan Tingxi heard this, he immediately shifted his mind: "Aren't you going to celebrate the New Year with me?"

Yu Tang raised his eyes, logically, she promised Jiang Li since she was a child, no matter how old she is, whether she is married or not, she will cross with her every New Year's Eve, to show that the friendship will last forever——

But after thinking about it, he still answered on his own initiative: "I followed."

Jiang Li looked at her in surprise.

This is only the first year... It can be seen that the sisters are all little spicy chickens and big trotters!

But Duan Tingqi immediately raised his eyebrows, and slammed Jiang Li's wild car door, signaling her to stay where it was cool, and come here to abduct people in one less day.

"..." Jiang Li raised the car window angrily, kicked the accelerator and slid the car ten meters away, leaving them with exhaust gas on their faces: "Goodbye!"

In the rearview mirror—

Yu Tang turned around from behind, Duan Tingxi put his arms around his waist and said with a smile, "Happy New Year to you too."

Jiang Li withdrew his gaze, didn't say anything, turned the steering wheel slightly, and drove the car completely into the traffic flow.
