The last day of exams, winter vacation arrived.
Wan Qiu and Chu Yigui went home together.
Chu Yigui carried his own schoolbag, helped Wan Qiu hold the schoolbag with one hand, and held Wan Qiu's hand with the other hand.
Wan Qiu looked at the students who were leaving school together, and they were scattered around.
During the winter vacation, he would not be able to see his classmates for a while, and Wan Qiu inadvertently thought of the study committee member.
"Yigui, do you differentiate between close and distant people around you?" Wan Qiu tilted his head and asked Chu Yigui.
"Yeah." Chu Yigui responded.
Wan Qiu nodded and continued to ask: "Who are the most important people in Yigui's heart?"
"It's Wan Qiu." Chu Yigui answered naturally.
Chu Yigui always looked at the road ahead.
It was snowing and the ground was a bit slippery. Chu Yigui moved half a body forward of Wan Qiu and chose a suitable path to walk on.
When answering questions, I just blurt out the answers without thinking.
Wan Qiu looked up and saw Chu Yigui in the falling snow.
The snowflakes were piled messily in the folds of his hair and shoulders.
Chu Yigui noticed Wan Qiu's gaze and stopped.
The crunching sound of stepping on the snow also disappeared.
Chu Yigui turned his head and some snowflakes fell: "What's wrong?"
"I'm waiting for you to finish speaking?" Wan Qiu said.
"Finished?" Chu Yigui recalled the conversation just now, "I'm done."
Wan Qiu blinked.
Snowflakes fell on his eyelashes, and did not fall off because of blinking, but melted into water droplets because of the temperature of Wanqiu.
There are countless snowflakes, falling everywhere in the sky and on the ground.
On tree branches, windowsills, school gates, on the ground...
Only this piece stayed on his eyelashes.
Chu Yigui was just like this snowflake, only choosing Wan Qiu's eyelashes that were not easy to fall.
Chu Yigui said that he was the most important person to him.
Wan Qiu held Chu Yigui's hand and felt Chu Yigui's warmth.
Familiar, as if it were his own warmth.
As Wan Qiu thought about it, he seemed to understand why there had to be a distinction between close and distant relatives.
I would be very happy if I could occupy an important position in other people's hearts.
But Wan Qiu wondered, why didn’t he feel that Chu Yigui was the most important person at the first moment?
Is it because he wasn’t good enough to Chu Yigui?
This winter vacation is a little different from previous ones, and Wan Qiu received many invitations to travel.
Ever since his last eighteenth birthday, Wan Qiu has received invitations from people every now and then, but Wan Qiu has to go to school and take extra classes.
Because he couldn't refuse, Wan Qiu handed the account to Chu Yigui.
It was the eldest brother who proposed to do this, and he said Yigui was his assistant.
But now that he was on winter break, he couldn't ignore the messages anymore.
But this person, whom he had only met once, was always sending messages enthusiastically seeking communication. To Wan Qiu, he was a complete stranger and he didn't know how to respond.
Wan Qiu thought about it and thought that maybe he should ask Chu Zhang or Yang Ze for advice.
They should know what to do.
When Wan Qiu found Yang Ze while holding the cell phone, Yang Ze took Wan Qiu to his room.
When Wan Qiu was sitting on Yang Ze's sofa, he accidentally discovered that the sofa, which he thought was very large before, now seemed not as spacious as he remembered.
But when Wan Qiu saw Yang Ze take out the stored milk from the refrigerator and heat it up, Wan Qiu felt that nothing had actually changed.
"Second brother, do you drink milk often?" Wan Qiu asked.
"Occasionally I drink some that are about to expire." Yang Ze placed the milk in front of Wan Qiu, and a faint milky aroma wafted through the air.
This milk has always been prepared only for Wan Qiu.
"Don't you have class with Yigui today?" Yang Ze asked.
"I've already taken it. Yigui said that during the holidays, we have classes in the morning, and we can do whatever we want in the afternoon and evening."
Yang Ze nodded: "Well, it is true that we need to relax a little during the holidays. Yigui will take the college entrance examination soon, and he also needs his own study time."
Wan Qiu took out his phone from his pocket: "Yigui said that I can start socializing properly."
Yang Ze thought about Wan Qiu's circle of friends. Although there were many people who came to his birthday, there were only a few who were of the same age as him.
"There's nothing wrong with wanting to make more friends, but there's no need to force it if you don't want to," Yang Ze said.
Wan Qiu asked, "My parents asked me to add these people. Don't they want me to make good friends with them?"
"I'm just giving you a chance to make friends, not saying you have to make friends."
Rather than allowing Wan Qiu to take the initiative to make friends, that birthday party gave others the opportunity to make friends with Wan Qiu.
"Is that so? Then does it actually matter whether I go or not for these invitations?"
"Of course, it depends on whether you like it or not." Yang Ze's tone unconsciously revealed a hint of arrogance towards the Chu family's identity.
Wan Qiu is not very good at saying no, let alone saying no all the time.
Through the phone, Wan Qiu couldn't tell whether the other party was really sincere.
Wouldn’t it be better to make more friends?
"This person said that he wanted to invite me to race..." Wan Qiu found a message and asked.
Yang Ze: "No, you can't go there. It's very dangerous."
Wan Qiu was stunned.
Then he lowered his head and found another message. Wan Qiu said, "This person invited me to go on a self-driving tour."
"No, it's easy for an accident to happen if a bunch of people are playing around in one car," said Yang Ze.
Wan Qiu blinked.
"This guy said we could go to his newly opened bar..."
"Why go there? Bars are a mixed bag of people, and it's easy to get into trouble."
"..." Wan Qiu looked up at Yang Ze in confusion.
Yang Ze also vaguely realized that he was almost completely opposed to it.
Yang rubbed his eyebrows helplessly.
He didn't know how to explain it to Wan Qiu.
If you think about it carefully, those who usually take the initiative to ask others out to play are basically playboys, and they spend money on confidential matters, go to customized private clubs, and the like.
Generally, the wealthy generations who like to make money and enrich themselves prefer to communicate with valuable people. Wanqiu, a high school student who does not inherit the family business and has just come of age with a few buffs, is indeed unable to integrate into the environment.
Yang Ze also attended a few times for social purposes, but no matter where he went, it was not suitable for Wan Qiu now.
Besides, secretly he didn't like Wan Qiu to participate in these things.
"Otherwise... you can hold a party." Yang Ze hesitated for a long time before slowly saying, "Pick a few people you think are suitable."
"Is it the same as previous birthday celebrations?" Wan Qiu only had experience in hosting birthday parties, and that time he prepared for more than half a month.
"No, it's not something that complicated." Yang Ze thought about it, and then said, "I'll help you contact Big Brother. Big Brother may have better suggestions."
Compared with Yang Ze, Chu Zhang is more adapted to the social interaction like a staff officer.
"Hmm..." Wan Qiu hesitated, his fingers rubbing the edge of the phone intentionally or unintentionally, "Is it so complicated to make friends with these people?"
Yang Ze did not want Wan Qiu to come into contact with this complicated, chaotic, extravagant and luxurious world.
But contradictory, I hope Wanqiu can have the ability to enjoy life.
The feeling of wanting to protect Wan Qiu but also wanting to let him see the world on his own is very contradictory.
“In fact, making friends is not something you need to do deliberately.”
Yang thought about it and chose his own language as much as possible.
“There are always many opportunities for the birth of friends. If you take the initiative to make friends, you may not get good results.”
Wan Qiu didn't understand what Yang Ze meant.
Yang Ze coughed. He was really not good at persuading others.
"What I mean is that you can choose your friends. These..." Yang pointed at Wan Qiu's phone. "They are just opportunities. It doesn't matter if you all show up for the appointment. But you have to have your own bottom line for making friends."
Wan Qiu looked at his phone, a little hesitant.
"When you feel someone makes you feel uncomfortable, just refuse to be friends with him, that's all."
Yang believed in Wan Qiu's character.
Although Yang Ze really didn't want Wan Qiu to be exposed to some of the dark sides of this circle.
But if it was Wan Qiu...
He believed Wan Qiu would make the right choice.
"Well... I understand." Wan Qiu nodded, "Then I will take the initiative to contact my eldest brother. Thank you, second brother."
When Yang Ze watched Wan Qiu leave, he stood up and watched Wan Qiu leave.
Wan Qiu returned to his room.
Yang felt very sad.
Although he was generous enough to choose to believe Wan Qiu, he felt very upset when he thought that there would really be someone trying to lead Wan Qiu astray.
But think about it, Wan Qiu will fight.
Maybe you won’t be bullied.
Yang Ze was very conflicted and felt very uneasy.
Wan Qiu sent a message to Chu Zhang while lying on the bed.
However, I originally thought that I would get a response the next day, but I didn’t expect Chu Zhang to call me immediately the next second after seeing the message.
"Wan Qiu wants to make friends?" Chu Zhang asked.
Wan Qiu held his phone and lay on the bed: "Because they keep sending me messages to invite me."
"If you don't want to go, then don't go. We in Wanqiu have our own friends to play with."
"But..." Wan Qiu handed the account to Chu Yigui for a period of time, and Chu Yigui sorted out the people who had been sending him messages during the school period.
There are a lot of messages and also repeated invitation messages.
“It would be very sad if you were rejected all the time.”
"No, these people are very shameless." Chu Zhang said nonchalantly, "Don't be fooled by the fact that they send you messages all day long. In fact, even if you don't go, they still have something to play. It's very likely that they didn't invite you, but invited a lot of people."
Wan Qiu choked.
"Besides, you don't understand what they are playing, Wanqiu."
Wan Qiu: “…”
"If you insist on following us, Wan Qiu, you will not have fun. If that's the case, why bother going there? They are all people who curry favor with the powerful. Even if Wan Qiu doesn't force himself to socialize, the eldest and second brothers will take good care of you in the future."
Wan Qiu couldn't quite understand the logic of Zhang's words.
But it doesn't seem to be a good thing.
"But if Wanqiu wants to date, you can talk to Yigui and let him pick a few people. Yigui should know everything, right?"
Wan Qiu was stunned: "Why does Yigui know?"
"Of course he knows, this is his job. Our Wanqiu is the boss of Yigui!"
Wan Qiu was a little overwhelmed.
"As for where to go, let's go skiing. Didn't you go there once before with Zhou Peiyu? It would be easier to entertain friends in a familiar place, right? I'm sure many of them are good at skiing."
Wan Qiu sat up holding the phone, listening to Chu Zhang chattering on about various messages.
Wan Qiu anxiously ran to the side, took out a pen and paper and started taking notes.
"So Wanqiu, if you don't like someone, just ignore him and don't contact him in the future. We, Wanqiu, don't need to please anyone. If anyone can't please us, it's their loss. Do you understand?"
Wan Qiu agreed, his mind already filled with a mass of confusing information.
"Brother, don't you want to make friends with these people?" All Wan Qiu heard in Chu Zhang's tone was carelessness.
"Friends? If you really want to call them friends, they are friends, but I have too many friends." Chu Zhang obviously didn't care. "We met and got to know each other, so we are friends, ha!"
Wan Qiu noticed the implicit sarcasm in Chu Zhang's tone.
"We are all friends, but there are differences in closeness, right?"
"Ah? Of course." Chu Zhang laughed, "If I really want to talk about big brother's best friend, it's Brother Zhao. As for other friends, hahahaha."
Wan Qiu blinked and asked directly, "What about me?"
"Wan Qiu is of course a little angel. Do you know a little angel? The kind with little wings and wearing a white dress flying in the sky. In big brother's heart, our Wan Qiu is unique and no one can surpass her. Wan Qiu, come and take a group of angel photos with big brother one day?"
Wan Qiu and Chu Zhang were chatting, and he grabbed the recorder in his hand intentionally or unintentionally.
The feet rubbed against each other under the table.
There is a kind of silent happiness, like marshmallows in water, which melt quickly and fail to even sweeten the water, but you can still taste the subtle sweetness.
After the class ended on the second day, Wan Qiu took the initiative to ask Chu Yigui if he could find someone suitable to invite.
Chu Yigui quickly sorted it out for Wan Qiu.
Wan Qiu held the list given by Chu Yigui, and together with Chu Yigui, listed the itinerary based on Chu Zhang's suggestions, and reported to Chu Jianshu.
Wan Qiu looked at Chu Jianshu eagerly, and he took the initiative to glance at Wan Qiu's list, then nodded.
It felt like...writing homework and then handing it to Chu Jianshu for correction.
"Have fun, these people should be fine." Chu Jianshu said.
Wan Qiu blinked.
As expected, what the eldest brother said was right. Yigui really knew how to choose people.
Chu Jianshu asked Song Wenqi to accompany him on this trip.
Although Wan Qiu felt it was a little strange, he did not refuse.
Chu Yigui basically chooses people who are the same age or slightly older, and when contacting them, the other party will ask if they can bring their partner.
Wan Qiu was stunned when he heard that someone was going to bring a partner.
There were so many people he met on his birthday that Wan Qiu could only barely reconcile his memory of that day with the photos.
On the birthday, these people all brought female companions with them, and Wan Qiu only now realized that they must be their partners.
Song Wenqi drove to the ski resorts around the city. The journey took about two or three hours, and they gathered directly at a hotel near the ski resort.
After hearing Wan Qiu's question, Song Wenqiu took the initiative to say, "The companions for important banquets are usually fiancées or dating partners, but because it is the Chu family's occasion, it is basically only fiancées who come."
"But aren't they about my age?" Wan Qiu asked.
"You can almost have a fiancée." Song Wenqiu said with a smile while driving, "A fiancée is a wife who has not yet been married, which means you can get married when you reach the age."
"But is it not possible to fall in love too early?" Wan Qiu was completely hesitant.
"Nothing is impossible." Song Wenqiu said with a smile, "Even dating is fine. Wanqiu, do you want to date?"
"You'll be expelled from school if you fall in love." Wan Qiu really couldn't understand this logic.
"Then don't fall in love at school. Let Yigui help you with some advice and see if there is any girl of good character you can introduce to someone and give it a try."
Song Wenqiu's words were more of a joke than a serious one.
"If you like this kind of thing, don't give up when you meet it. After all, it's not easy to meet someone you like."
Wan Qiu wanted to say something, but his logic was not straightened out, and his cheeks turned slightly red in anxiety.
After seeing this in the rearview mirror, Song Wenqiu suppressed his laughter and changed the topic: "Has Wanqiu never met a girl who had a special feeling for you?"
Wan Qiu began to think about how to answer Song Wenqiu's question.
Chu Yigui was very silent from beginning to end.
"Zhou Peiyu, Wang Yue..." These are Wan Qiu's only two female friends.
"No, I mean, do you have any special feelings for each other?"
"A special feeling?" Wan Qiu didn't quite understand what special meant.
"For example, you want to hold her hand?" Song Wenqi asked.
"He Yigui." Wan Qiu said immediately.
"..." Song Wenqiu choked up, "Who do you usually visit secretly?"
"…Recalling home." Wan Qiu answered seriously again.
"So you want to chat with her, or be interested in everything she's interested in?" Song Wenqi continued to ask.
Wan Qiu: "It's Yigui..."
Song Wenqi suddenly fell silent.
There was a strange atmosphere in the car.
Song Wenqi couldn't help but glance at Chu Yigui through the rearview mirror. Chu Yigui was looking in Wan Qiu's direction with a calm expression at this time.
He was really too calm, so calm that even after hearing words that were obviously wrong, he still maintained an indifferent expression.
Wan Qiu seemed to feel that these questions naturally had answers.
Wan Qiu raised his eyes and asked Chu Yigui: "Who does Yigui want to hold hands with?"
"Wanqiu." Chu Yigui said.
"What about secretly watching people?" Wan Qiu asked.
"Wan Qiu."
"What about wanting to chat together and being interested in things that interest her?"
Chu Yigui answered naturally: "Wan Qiu."
Song Wenqiu's face turned slightly blue.
"So actually, the person I like is Yigui?" Wan Qiu came to this conclusion, "If Yigui is a girl, then I have to date Yigui and Yigui will be my fiancée?"
Chu Yigui opened his mouth and was about to say something when he was suddenly interrupted by Song Wenqi.
"Not necessarily. People who have a good relationship with each other will also be like this!" Song Wenqi felt that it was really dangerous to continue this topic.
"Then how do you judge whether your fiancée likes you?"
Wan Qiu felt that he liked Chu Yigui very much, he liked him the most.
He couldn't imagine liking her more than this.
Song Wenqi even slowed down his driving speed because of his strange mood.
"Shy, yes, shy. Would you be shy if Chu Yigui touched you?" Song Wenqi immediately thought of a way to distinguish and said immediately.
Wan Qiu shook his head at this time.
The contact with Chu Yigui was too frequent, so frequent that it was as natural as if one's own hands and feet were touching each other.
Wan Qiu doesn't feel shy about touching his hands and feet.
Song Wenqiu heaved a sigh of relief at this time, and his expression finally relaxed: "If someone touches you and you don't hate him, or even feel a little shy, maybe you like him."
Wan Qiu touched his cheek.
shy.
"Yigui, have you ever met someone who makes you shy?" Wan Qiu asked Chu Yigui.
Song Wenqiu's heart tightened a little, and he subconsciously held his breath to listen to Chu Yigui's answer.
"Shyness is not necessarily a criterion for judgment." Chu Yigui tilted his head and said to Wan Qiu, "It's just a normal physiological reaction that can happen in any situation."
This was not a direct answer, but it still made Song Wenqi spit out blood.
Chu Yigui stared at Wan Qiu and said, "Just look at it and you will know that I like it."
Song Wenqi couldn't help but glance at the rearview mirror several times.
"Yigui said this, does it mean you have met someone you like?" Song Wenqi asked.
From the rearview mirror, Song Wenqiu saw that Chu Yigui finally shifted his gaze away from Wan Qiu and looked at him.
Suddenly, Song Wenqiu forgot what he asked.
"What is the relationship between Uncle Song and your wife like?"
Song Wenqi then thought of his wife.
"My wife and I were not as delicate as you said. We were introduced by our families, and then we thought each other was good. We went on a date and got along well. Everything happened naturally and smoothly."
"It comes naturally." Chu Yigui looked at Wan Qiu again, "Right?"
Compared to Wan Qiu who was still somewhat confused, Song Wenqi was somewhat silent.
It was indeed when he saw his wife that he knew he loved her.
"But you are too young. Chu Zhang and Yang Ze haven't talked yet, so you are even less anxious. Chu Zhang is fine because of his job, but Yang Ze is too serious. He only cares about work every day..."
Song Wenqiu kept complaining about Chu Zhang and Song Wenqiu.
Like he's avoiding something.
"Then how did mom and dad fall in love?" Wan Qiu suddenly asked.
Song Wenqiu's expression was a little subtle.
"It's... the result of many considerations." Song Wenqiu simply said, "But they are very compatible, and because they are compatible, it's easy for them to fall in love."
Song Wenqi has been following Chu Jianshu since he was young, and witnessed Chu Jianshu and Yang Xiaoyu's love and marriage.
Indeed, it is impossible to simply explain why I like this kind of thing.
Looking at Chu Jianshu and Yang Xiaoyu now, who would have thought that they were not in love when they first got married.
but……
Song Wenqiu glanced at Chu Yigui intentionally or unintentionally.
No matter how mature or intelligent a person is, age is an insurmountable gap.
Chu Yigui is still young after all. He has never really experienced love, so how can he understand such a thing...
But even if it is just talk, this is too specific, so specific that it is impossible to refute.
Every time Song Wenqiu looked at the rearview mirror, he could see Chu Yigui looking at Wan Qiu.
That look was as bland as tasting plain water.
It is impossible to define the relationship between Chu Yigui and Wan Qiu to a more ambiguous level.
But from beginning to end Chu Yigui deliberately avoided the topic of the person he liked.
Just looking at Wan Qiu...
Song Wenqiu frowned.
