durian

Ye Meiyan raised her eyelashes slightly and asked, "Where are you?"

"In the restaurant. What's wrong? Do you want to have dinner with me?" Mina looked at the small cart filled with desserts that the waiter had pushed up. She gestured for the waiter to push it over to Jiang Qing. "It just so happens that my uncle just opened a new restaurant. He'd be happy if you came to support him."

Ye Meiyan: "I have no interest in your family's affairs."

"So what are you interested in?" Mina forked up a piece of fruit. "Distributing flyers? I didn't expect you still have such a childlike innocence. I wonder if Uncle Ye knows about this."

"By the way, I brought a gift for Uncle Ye when I returned home. Remember to come to me and get it."

Ye Meiyan clutched her phone tightly, "No thanks."

Mina sighed, "If you don't come, then I'll have to send it to Uncle Ye myself. Come to think of it, Uncle Ye and I haven't seen each other for a long time."

Jiang Qing stood up and cleared the cold food from the table, replacing it with freshly made desserts. Hearing the intimacy in Mina's tone, she couldn't help but look up.

The girl's long eyelashes were curled, and her slightly upturned fox eyes were gorgeous. At this moment, she was casually playing with a piece of fruit with one hand, saying helpless words, but her eyes showed a completely different feeling.

That face was full of high spirits, but Jiang Qing immediately lowered his eyes.

Yu Xue looked at her companions. One was absorbed in typing on his phone, his face full of satisfaction. Another was busy standing up to arrange the desserts, leaving the waiter aside. And another...

She turned her head. She never knew to avoid people when she was on the phone. She didn't want to listen to the tone of Mina and Ye Meiyan's phone calls. She was really tired of it.

Bored, she took the snack handed to her by Jiang Qing and patiently used a knife to pick at the crust on the surface of the snack bit by bit.

Ye Meiyan on the other end of the phone took a deep breath and said, "I'll go."

"That's right," Mina smiled. "I'll always be waiting for you."

"We haven't seen each other for so many years. To be honest, I miss you a lot."

Ye Meiyan fell silent and looked up at Jiang Qing who was waving to indicate that she had left some food for her.

The girl's face was filled with a bright smile. When she saw her looking over, she waved even more vigorously. Seeing this, Ye Meiyan couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

Looking at the food that Jiang Qing had picked out on the empty seat, Song Shuang complained dissatisfiedly, "I find that you are becoming more and more problematic. I am right in front of you, but you can't see it at all."

Lin Nanyan didn't stop moving. He unscrewed the bottle cap and handed it to Jiang Qing, then unscrewed the next bottle and handed it to Song Shuang.

But now the two girls obviously have no time to pay attention to him.

Jiang Qing listened for a long time, confused. "How about you listen to what you are saying?"

"Where can I not see you?"

She leaned her head closer, looked left and right, and pointed at her eyes, "See? It's all you in there."

"Go away." Song Shuang burst into laughter and pressed the head of the person in front of him down with one finger, "Be serious."

"Okay, Comrade Song Shuang, I'm serious. I'll reflect on my mistakes," Jiang Qing said seriously. "If you have any criticisms, please tell me. I promise to listen carefully."

Lin Nanyan glanced at her, a smile unconsciously appearing in his eyes.

Song Shuang was so annoyed by her that he almost lost the emotions that had just been brewing.

She first glanced at Ye Meiyan carefully to make sure that she couldn't hear their conversation, then glanced at Lin Nanyan and turned away.

Forget it, this is Jiang Jiang’s personal pendant, there is no need to avoid it.

"Ahem, Jiang Qing, I think you need to reflect on yourself."

Jiang Qing had a question mark look on her face, and both Lin Nanyan looked at Song Shuang to hear her opinion.

"Don't you think you are too enthusiastic towards Ye Meiyan and Jiang Qing?" Although it was a bit difficult to say, Song Shuang always had the urge to tell Jiang Jiang.

"...Forget about Senior Sister Jiang Qing, that's because you need to find her to answer your questions now, but..." She pouted unconsciously, "What about Ye Meiyan? Why are you so close to her too?"

Song Shuang muttered softly, "They're almost catching up with me."

Jiang Qing didn't hear what she muttered, her focus was a little off, but it was Lin Nanyan who heard it and glanced at Song Shuang.

Jiang Qing: "Why are you calling Ye Meiyan by her full name again? You used to call her Meiyan and she was so cheerful. You have two different faces in front of people and behind their backs."

Song Shuang: ...

Why don't you listen to what you are saying?

She was as angry as a pufferfish, "I just called out, Ye Meiyan, Ye Meiyan, what's wrong, can't I call out?"

Lin Nanyan withdrew his gaze without being surprised, knowing that the two girls had started again. He felt relieved and his thoughts slowly drifted back to yesterday.

As expected, Jiang Qing stroked the fur skillfully, "Okay, okay, please speak softly, people may hear you later."

Song Shuang's angry mood suddenly stopped, and she stammered, "I, I didn't speak loudly just now."

Jiang Qing wanted to laugh, but she was afraid that if she did, she would lose everything. She suppressed her laughter and said, "No, it's just a little bit higher."

Song Shuang finally breathed a sigh of relief and glanced at Ye Meiyan guiltily.

Seeing nothing unusual, she gathered herself together and puffed out her cheeks, “Don’t interrupt, you haven’t replied to me yet.”

Jiang Qing looked innocent. She really felt that there was no good answer to this question. Why? Of course, it was because she and Ye Meiyan would be best friends in the future, and now it was just a little bit earlier.

But no matter how stupid she was, she knew she couldn't say that now.

She thought about it and said seriously, "Because Meiyan is a very good person."

Song Shuang was hesitant to speak after hearing this. She didn't want an official answer.

I wanted to say something, but after holding it back for a while, I finally gave up and said, "Forget it, if you say so, then so be it."

When Jiang Qing heard this, she knew that this was not a sign that the problem was solved. She picked up a chopstick and put it into Song Shuang's plate.

"Just say what you want to say, otherwise you'll just be miserable on your own."

"I don't know who you learned this hobby from. You always duck at the crucial moment," she tilted her head, curious. "Is it because you always enjoy me questioning you? If you had told me earlier, I would have cosplayed with you."

Song Shuang felt a little vulnerable at first, but later he wanted to roll his eyes at the other party.

"Cos you, what the hell? I have nothing better to do than to play the clown in front of you?"

Jiang Qing shook her head. Without waiting for Song Shuang to say anything, she said, "It's not a clown, it's a female role."

Song Shuang paused for a moment, "I don't care what the song is, I don't want to sing it."

Jiang Qing responded aggrievedly, "Okay, if you don't want to sing, then don't sing. Why are you so fierce?"

Seeing this, Song Shuang felt uncomfortable. She looked at Lin Nanyan awkwardly, and when she saw that the boy didn't look here, although she knew that he would find out in the end, she at least had some psychological comfort now.

"Okay, I'll tell you." She leaned closer and whispered something quickly in Jiang Qing's ear.

Jiang Qing was instantly delighted when she heard this, and her eyes curved with joy.

Song Shuang's ears flushed, "What are you laughing at?"

Jiang Qing ignored the other person's reaction and rushed over to pinch Song Shuang's face, "Shuang, how can there be someone as cute as you in the world?"

Lin Nanyan only vaguely felt a familiar shadow swaying beside him. He reached out reflexively and pushed the plate in front of Jiang Qing forward to avoid the risk of the girl's clothes being scratched by oil stains.

Song Shuang was also speechless. Her face was pinched so much that it was deformed, her mouth was chubby, and she could not speak clearly.

"Fan, Fan Ka (Let go)!"

Jiang Qing loosened her grip slightly, but didn't let go completely. "I love you the most, don't let your imagination run wild."

When Lin Nanyan heard this, he immediately looked in the direction of the two people, and looked again. It took a long time before he let go of his worry.

Song Shuang pulled Jiang Qing's hand down and rubbed his red face. "What nonsense are you talking about? You sound like a scumbag. There's someone here."

As she spoke, she looked meaningfully at the boy next to Jiang Qing.

Jiang Qing thought she was looking at Ye Meiyan through her direction, so she turned Song Shuang's face back and said, "I already said I like you the most, don't mention anyone else."

Lin Nanyan couldn't help but speed up the process of wiping the table. Facing Song Shuang's wide-open eyes, he didn't know what expression to show for a moment.

He suddenly felt as if he shouldn't be here.

Jiang Qing continued her greasy speech: "Have you heard of the saying about the tip of the durian?"

Song Shuang knew she shouldn't respond, but her mouth had its own thoughts. "What?"

Lin Nanyan's eyes twitched, unable to bear to look directly at it. He closed his eyes. Occasionally, he also wanted to deafen himself for a while, like now——

Jiang Qing: "The human heart is like a durian, covered with countless durian apexes, and each apex is filled with people."

Song Shuang's eyes were dead, "So, you want to say that you are very philanthropic?"

Jiang Qing sighed: "No, I want to talk about you."

She used her fingers to pretentiously wipe away the non-existent tears, "You care about her now. You were such strangers before, but now you call her Meiyan."

"You gave her the part of your heart that was mine."

"I didn't." Song Shuang frowned. Why was this guy still crying thief?

Jiang Qing looked up and accidentally caught a glimpse of the indescribable expression on Lin Nanyue's face. She turned her head away, pretending not to see it, and continued to perform.

"You still say no, can you honestly swear to me that you don't treat her as a friend?"

Song Shuang was speechless. This is the case.

"Look, you hesitated." Jiang Qing immediately took advantage of the situation and pursued the opponent.

Song Shuang: ...

"Even if there is a little bit, so what?" She looked at the unreasonable Jiang Qing and asked with gritted teeth.

Lin Nanyue sighed, Song Shuang fell into a trap.

Although Jiang Qing was secretly happy, she acted very well and kept a low profile. She took out a tissue to cover half of her face, leaving only a pair of bright eyes to look at Song Shuang.

"Friendship is like a piece of candy. You gave it all to me before. Now that I treat her as a friend, I will inevitably give her some of the piece that originally belonged to me completely," she accused him. "Even if it's just a little bit, it's still giving away something that belongs to me."

Song Shuang scratched his head, feeling like he needed to grow some brains. Why did he feel like he was being sorry for Jiang Jiang after saying that?

Jiang Qing secretly reached out her hand, her fingertips moving around. Lin Nanyan lowered his eyes, silently took out a handful of candy and stuffed it into Jiang Qing's hand.

Jiang Qing's eyes lit up, and she grasped it tightly, then pulled Song Shuang's hand, "But it would be different if everyone was a candy."

"Look, if I give you one of my friendships, you will have another candy."

"Mei Yan will give you another one, so you will have two candies now."

"If others give you more," he put all the candies in Song Shuang's palm, "Wow! You will have a handful of candies."

Song Shuang stared blankly at the candies stuffed into her fair palms, unable to recover from her thoughts.

Jiang Qing didn't give her a chance to think and held her hand tightly. "So, what does this tell us?"

Song Shuang's head was buzzing, and he was in a semi-disabled state. He could only repeat what the other party said, "What's the reason?"
