Chapter 33: What's the difference between this and talking...
It started to drizzle outside at some point. Fortunately, when Chen Xiyu went out, he remembered that the weather forecast said it might rain in the evening, so he took the umbrella at the door with him.
Unexpectedly, it came in handy.
At this moment, Qin Yiyan took the umbrella, and the two of them wandered in the rain, looking for an open supermarket.
When Qin Yiyan was helping in the kitchen, he actually had many questions in his mind that he wanted to ask them both, but now, when the cold wind blew, he inexplicably calmed down, because after carefully recalling how Liang Qi and Shen Xiyu got along, it seemed that everything had a traceable path.
He tentatively asked Shen Xiyu, "What's going on between you and Liang Qi?"
Chen Xiyu didn't know how to answer his question. In front of Tian Tianxiang, she could just say that she and he were just friends, but she couldn't do that with Qin Yiyan and other friends who she spent every day with.
"It's...it's what you saw." She lowered her head and stepped on the puddles on the road.
"No." The two of them turned into a small supermarket on the side of the road, and Qin Yiyan continued, "When did it happen?"
When did it happen?
This question stumped Shen Xiyu.
She realized that Qin Yiyan might have misunderstood her words.
Chen Xiyu squatted down and looked at the row of coconut juices at the bottom of the shelf. "No, you must have misunderstood. We are not in a relationship."
Qin Yiyan's eyes widened when he heard this. "So what are you two doing now?"
What are you doing?
Shen Xiyu didn't know either.
She answered Qin Yiyan truthfully, "I don't know."
"WC" Qin Yiyan laughed in anger, "I'm not saying you don't like Lao Liang?"
Shen Xiyu's hand paused as he picked up the coconut juice.
A few months ago, if Qin Yiyan asked her this question, Shen Xiyu would definitely shake her head without changing her expression or heartbeat, whether it was to cover up or to express her true thoughts.
Shen Xiyu suddenly felt very boring, he himself was very boring.
While she is afraid of establishing an intimate relationship, she enjoys the emotional value and care that Liang Qi brings her.
She shrugged and said, "I like it." Then she walked to the front desk to pay.
Qin Yiyan followed her like a tail, "Doesn't he like you?"
The waiter handed the coconut juice to the girl and said, "It's sixty-four dollars and fifty cents in total. I'll scan the code for you here."
"Thank you." Shen Xiyu took the bag.
Although Qin Yiyan was criticizing, his hands did not stop moving. He took the plastic bag from Shen Xiyu's hand and said, "Didn't I ask you, doesn't he like you?"
Shen Xiyu didn't think about hiding it from him anymore, "I like it."
"Then why are you two doing this?" He really didn't understand. "You're just trying to scare us, aren't you?"
Chen Xiyu recalled Qin Yiyan's silly look and couldn't help but laugh, "Everyone knew about this a long time ago. Who are you trying to scare? You're just an idiot, aren't you?"
"You knew it a long time ago!" Qin Yiyan just stood there and refused to move. "Why did you tell them and not me?"
Shen Xiyu dragged him forward helplessly, "No one told them, only you are as slow as a primary school student."
Qin Yiyan sighed heavily, "I really thought you two were having a good time."
"We really did get along well at the beginning." Chen Xiyu recalled the time when he first met Liang Qi. "It couldn't be helped. It was just a coincidence. We were desk mates and neighbors."
Qin Yiyan was actually not quite used to the idea of the two of them. After all, the thought of his childhood friend and his good friend being together had a huge impact on him. Although they were not together yet, he could feel that it was just the beginning.
He still wanted to ask, "Then why don't you two get together?"
Shen Xiyu pressed the elevator button, looked up at the dazzling elevator ceiling light, and his thoughts drifted to the time he spent in Shangri-La.
She couldn't help but ask herself, if it were now, could she still be so cruel as she was then?
"have no idea."
Shen Xiyu felt that she couldn't answer this question. Although on the surface the problem was with her, Shen Xiyu actually couldn't figure out where the problem lay with herself.
It was obviously a simple thing to agree to, but she found it extremely difficult.
Rather than saying she was doing it, it would be better to say that Shen Xiyu was waiting, waiting for the relationship to collapse, waiting for Liang Qi's feelings to deteriorate, so that she could tell herself with peace of mind, see, your choice is correct.
Qin Yiyan wanted to ask something else, but the elevator had already arrived.
Before entering the door, Shen Xiyu turned his head and warned Qin Yiyan, "Don't talk nonsense in front of his mother."
"Do I look stupid?"
Shen Xiyu just mentioned it. If Qin Yiyan was really that stupid, then his brain could be used to feed pigs.
She subconsciously wanted to unlock the door with her fingerprint, but suddenly reacted and let go of her hand that was about to press on the lock, and knocked on the door instead.
"The fingerprints have been recorded." Qin Yiyan curled his lips, "I haven't been to his place many times."
Fu Shengrui's voice came from inside the door, "Here I come!"
Chen Xiyu turned his head and looked at Qin Yiyan's expression. "Okay, then I won't affect your relationship. Just be with him."
Qin Yiyan pretended to think seriously, "It's not impossible."
Fu Shengrui, who came to open the door, heard this and asked Qin Yiyan, "Is there anything I can do?"
Qin Yiyan closed his umbrella and placed it outside the door. He walked in and patted Fu Shengrui on the shoulder. "Uncle, you don't need to know about young people's affairs."
"Get lost, you bastard. I'm still in good health." He raised his foot and kicked Qin Yiyan's butt hard, almost making him fall down.
"Come over and sit down, the food is ready." Liang Qi changed into a white round-neck sweatshirt, rolled up his sleeves to his elbows, and held a bottle of wine in his hand.
Shen Xiyu saw him wink at him and followed Liang Qishun into the kitchen.
"What's wrong?" She leaned against the glass door.
Liang Qi was sobering up, his bony hands skillfully turning the cork.
"These macadamia nuts I left for you. Take them when you leave." Liang Qi pointed to the paper bag on top of the microwave.
Shen Xiyu took it and took one out. She watched Liang Qi's movements. The deep red liquid flowed along the wall of the cup into the bottom of the high-heeled cup. The boy lowered his head, focusing on the liquid in the cup. The gentle sense of a husband and the coldness appeared in him in such a strange and harmonious way.
"You can also do this?" Shen Xiyu peeled the nuts inside, but instead of eating them himself, he put them in his palm and handed them to Liang Qi.
"My mom likes to drink aged wine. She insists that aged wine tastes completely different from aged wine. So I learned from my dad." Liang Qi pointed a finger at his mouth as he spoke, signaling Shen Xiyu, "But I can't taste the difference."
Shen Xiyu immediately threw half of the nut into his mouth, "Don't eat it."
Liang Qi didn't rush or get annoyed, "I want to eat, I want to eat."
Sure enough, within a few seconds, the other half of the macadamia nut appeared next to my mouth.
Liang Qi glanced at Shen Xiyu sideways, almost unable to hold back the smile on his face.
"Do you want to eat or not?" Shen Xiyu turned his head back.
“Eat, eat, eat.”
There was a knock on the glass door. Because the glass door was one-way, people inside could not see outside, but people outside could see inside clearly.
Although Qin Yiyan, who witnessed the whole process, didn't know what the two were talking about, he still felt it was really disgusting. What's the difference between this and a negotiation!
Was he really so slow before that he couldn't even see this?
Or maybe both of them don't want to act anymore.
"Auntie Tian asked you to wake up quickly and come out for dinner."
Qin Yiyan’s knock on the door startled Shen Xiyu.
"Okay." Liang Qi responded to Qin Yiyan's words.
He looked at Shen Xiyu's reaction and teased, "What? You thought it was my mother?"
"roll."
“…”
*
The atmosphere at the table was pretty good.
Tian Tianzhen and Qin Yiyan are exactly the same, both are talkative at the dinner table.
Ms. Tian sometimes complained that Fu Shengrui's cola chicken wings had too strong a cola flavor, and sometimes complained that Liang Qi's sober wine was not as delicious as his father's.
During this time, he kept putting food into Shen Xiyu's bowl, muttering that she was too thin.
After the meal, Shen Xiyu had a very good impression of Tian Tianzhen. She could clearly feel that compared with her appearance, Tian Tianzhen was more like a fashionable and trendy sister.
*
"Then I'll go with your mom." Fu Shengrui took the car keys, "You guys go have fun."
"Okay." Liang Qi and Shen Xiyu saw them off at the door.
"Send it down to me." Tian Tianzhen glanced at her son.
Liang Qi frowned, wondering what was there to see off in just two steps. Even so, he resigned himself to his fate and put on his coat, ready to personally see the two giant Buddhas off.
"I'm going too?" Shen Xiyu gently touched Liang Qi and asked him with a questioning look.
Liang Qi zipped up his pants and said, "No, it's cold outside."
"Goodbye, Auntie Tian." Shen Xiyu waved to Tian Tianzhen.
"Hey." Tian Tianzhen had already stepped halfway out the door. "See you next time, Xi Yu. Don't play too late."
Shen Xiyu couldn't help but think too much, afraid that she had something else to say, so he smiled and agreed without saying anything else.
*
After the three of them left, Shen Xiyu also prepared to go home. She was afraid that Qin Yiyan would come to ask something again. There were some things she could tell him alone, but in front of Liang Qi was another matter.
"I'm leaving too." she shouted towards the living room.
Qin Yiyan is peeling a pomelo.
"It's only nine o'clock now, why are you leaving?" Qin Yiyan looked at the electronic watch hanging on the wall.
Shen Xiyu walked to the kitchen and picked up the macadamia nuts Liang Qi had packed for her. A voice came from the kitchen, "Aren't you leaving?"
"I'm not leaving." Qin Yiyan took off his plastic gloves and threw them into the trash can. "There's no one at home, otherwise why would I come here today?"
"I thought so." Shen Xiyu was about to open the door, "I'm leaving. Tell him when he comes back."
"Don't go, I haven't finished asking questions yet."
When Shen Xiyu heard this, he ran even faster.
*
"Don't forget what I told you." Tian Tianzhen sat in the passenger seat and instructed Liang Qi who was bending over outside the window.
"You've said too much. Which of your words did you ask me to forget?" Liang Qi rested his elbows on the car window frame.
"Every sentence is true!"
"Okay." Liang Qi straightened up. "When are you leaving? Do you want me to see you off?"
Tian Tianzhen opened her phone and looked at it. "No need to send me off. I have something to do and need to stay for a while."
"Is there something wrong? I thought you were lying to me."
Tian Tianzhen looked Liang Qi up and down, "How shameless you are."
Liang Qi was left speechless.
"Are you two going to leave?" Fu Shengrui urged, "I'm in a hurry to get to the next game."
"You should back off. Call me if you have anything to do. Don't pretend to be dead every day."
“…”
In the car.
Tian Tian was really a little sleepy, so she leaned back in her chair and yawned, "Do you know about this?"
Fu Shengrui knew she was talking about Shen Xiyu and Liang Qi.
"I guessed it." He spun the steering wheel. "Why? You object. Prepare to become a vicious mother-in-law of a wealthy family."
Tian Tianzhen thought his statement was quite interesting, "Do you think I can do it?"
“…”
"I'm not objecting." Tian Tianzhen felt a mixture of emotions. "You know, Xiaoqi's grandfather has always had very high expectations for his education since he was a child. Even today, I feel like I can't see through my own son."
As she spoke, she felt that she was very funny. "It's funny, right? I can't even understand him. I don't understand why he is so upset. I don't understand what he is thinking."
Fu Shengrui waited for her to continue.
"I can feel that he's different in front of that little girl. He's more lively. But...but now is not the right time. Why can't Xiaoqi understand what I mean? His going abroad is a foregone conclusion, and it will hurt both of us."
Fu Shengrui turned into the residential complex and comforted her, "Why do you think so much? It's normal for young people to have a few relationships. Maybe they will break up before he goes abroad."
Tian Tianzhen secretly watched her brother's profile in the darkness. She knew Fu Shengrui was only good at guiding these younger generations, but when it came to his own affairs...
She sighed deeply in her heart and did not rush to expose Fu Shengrui's scars.
Fu Shengrui was still talking.
"We've been living off our family for most of our lives. If the child wants to make his own way, let him do it. It's not like our family can't provide a safety net. If he really doesn't have any ambitions, you'd think the money we've spent raising him since he was a child has been wasted, wouldn't you?"
Tian Tianzhen thought about it and realized that there was no point in worrying about it now.
"By the way, where are you going?" She remembered what Fu Shengrui had just said to Liang Qi.
Fu Shengrui took out the car key and locked the car. "The world is big, but drinking is the biggest."
“…”
Seeing his elder sister's unhappy face, Fu Shengrui coaxed and deceived her to go upstairs, "Sister, go to bed early."
"Come back soon."
Fu Shengrui handed the bag to her and said goodbye.
