Out of place
It was Kong Lingyu who was drinking, but Fang Huai felt that he was the drunk one.
He lowered his head and fixed his gaze on Kong Lingyu's messy hair, listening to him calling his nickname again and again, which had not been mentioned for a long time.
"Maimai, I'm Kong Lingyu."
"I'm here to see you."
Familiar words, familiar accent, the man raised his head, revealing sharp features, a submissive posture, and his upturned eyes were all about him.
This look was too familiar. Li Xuan also looked at him in the same way, with heartache and unspeakable emotions. At this moment, Fang Huai felt that he should be the drunk one, his good friend who had just met again not long ago...
How could I look at him like that?
Fang Huai couldn't help but step away, raised his hand to block Kong Lingyu's sight, and said dryly: "You are drunk, have a good rest."
After saying that, he walked out of the room quickly without waiting for the drunk on the bed to react.
Kong Lingyu withdrew his hand that had grabbed nothing, and a look of regret flashed in his eyes. He was too impatient and scared Mai Mai.
Fang Huai was too thin. He just hugged his waist. Even though he had thought Fang Huai was thin before, he didn't expect him to be so thin. There was nothing inside his loose pajamas. He gently hugged his waist.
Can touch the protruding bones.
In the morning, Fang Huai sat at the dining table and ate breakfast without any appetite.
The late guest sat opposite naturally, but his eyes were always fixed on his bare wrist, and after a while, they stayed on his face.
Fang Huai rolled up his sleeves and looked up at the guest.
The facial features were three-dimensional and the lines were soft. The eyes that could not hide the emotions looked straight at him. The eyelids with blue veins faintly visible on the white skin drooped slightly, trying to hide the emotions in the eyes.
Kong Lingyu looked away immediately as if he had been scalded.
On the other side, it is not so "peaceful and peaceful".
"Eat more, Xiao Kong. You must be very busy at work." He Lijun's voice broke the silence in the air. She took the initiative to pour a glass of milk for Kong Lingyu and said lovingly, "Young people working hard outside should pay more attention to their health."
Kong Lingyu frowned, a mischievous glint flashed in her eyes, and she said, "Thank you, auntie. You should eat more too."
Father Fang also spoke: "How is He Nian performing in your company?"
At the dinner table, there was an inexplicably eerie atmosphere of a teacher visiting the home. The adoptive parents kept asking Fang Henian about his situation at the company, and Fang Henian sat there uneasily like a primary school student.
Fang Huai sat in the corner, concentrating on eating breakfast. Kong Lingyu's eyes occasionally swept over his neck which was exposed due to his movements.
Fang Huai heard the perfunctory tone in Kong Lingyu's words and curled his lips secretly.
Fang Henan also heard it and felt a little embarrassed.
How could the boss of a company pay attention to an ordinary employee who has just been in the company for a few years? Kong Lingyu gave his parents a lot of face by answering like this.
"Mom and Dad, have breakfast quickly and stop asking questions." Fang Henian's face flushed red as he interrupted the conversation with a rough voice.
He Lijun glared at her youngest son in disapproval, exclaimed "Ouch," and jokingly said, "Are you shy?"
Fang Henan lowered his head and urged his parents to stop talking, "Eat quickly, senior and brother are hungry."
Fang Huai, who was inexplicably cueed: Actually, I’m full.
Kong Lingyu looked at Fang Huai and smiled.
The couple then realized that they had been talking to the boss and that the boss had already had breakfast, so they hurriedly invited the family to have breakfast.
After dinner, Fang Henian’s girlfriend called him via video, and the family of three huddled together and greeted the girl enthusiastically.
"Happy New Year, uncle and aunt."
"Jinnian is busy and can't come to see you. I'll come to see you with Henian later."
"By the way, did you receive the gift I asked He Nian to bring you?"
The girl was very understanding and told many interesting stories about her and Fang Henian. Even He Lijun, who was furious just now, was coaxed into laughing. Her tone was so gentle that it could squeeze out water: "Got it. It's hard for you to be so thoughtful. Come back and play with Henian when you have the chance in the future."
......
The three of them gathered together to video chat with the girls, while Fang Huai felt very uncomfortable sitting opposite Kong Lingyu. He couldn't stand Kong Lingyu's burning gaze, so he looked up and glared at Kong Lingyu, then quickly lowered his head. Kong Lingyu supported his chin with his hand and laughed softly.
Then he heard the sound of a chair being moved to the ground. Kong Lingyu's shadow enveloped Fang Huai completely, and he said softly, "Long time no see."
"Who is Mai Mai best friends with now?"
Fang Huai raised his head, his eyes filled with shock. Kong Lingyu leaned forward, his scarlet lips moving in and out: "You still remember."
Kong Lingyu often said this to him when he was a child. Fang Huai had just arrived and was abandoned by his biological parents. He was the youngest but had a gloomy temperament. Some sensitive children were unwilling to make friends with him. Only Kong Lingyu, the little bully who picked him up, always pestered him.
She followed him, calling him by the nickname she had learned from the director's mother, and coaxing him tirelessly.
It was also because of Kong Lingyu that Fang Huai gradually became cheerful, willing to talk and try to make friends. As the number one bully in Huaihua Welfare Home, Kong Lingyu felt uncomfortable again. He followed Fang Huai around all day, showing off to other children (in a bluffing manner), emphasizing: "Maimai and I are the best in the world."
Even on the day Fang Huai left the orphanage, this guy, with red eyes, pulled Fang Huai and said stubbornly, "We are the best in the world, and you can only be with me."
Fang Huai forgot how he answered Kong Lingyu at that time. Perhaps he nodded and agreed carefully, or perhaps he hurriedly agreed while being dragged by his adoptive parents: "I will always be your best friend in the world."
Fang Huai came back to his senses from his shock and felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry. This guy really wanted the world to be in chaos.
"Remember." Fang Huai said in a gentle tone.
Kong Lingyu raised his eyebrows in satisfaction, and was about to say something when He Lijun pulled him away.
Kong Lingyu's adoptive mother, who had been somewhat resentful at first, asked her husband to check the company Kong Lingyu mentioned, and her attitude immediately changed. She smiled and pulled Kong Lingyu aside, saying, "So it was a misunderstanding. Little Kong made a fool of yourself."
Fang Henian touched his nose resentfully and said to smooth things over for his boss, "Senior just likes to joke around."
Fang Huai sat in his seat and watched them chatting.
"It's also my fault for not explaining it clearly. I thought uncle and aunt also liked to hear jokes." Kong Lingyu subtly put aside his displeasure and chatted with the two elders with ease.
"Is Xiao Kong settling in Nanshi?" Fang Sijie asked.
Kong Lingyu thought for a while and said, "I often stay in Nanshi, but I also have a house in Beishi. I came back this year to check the house."
"I didn't expect that I hadn't been back for so long and had caused such a joke. I'm sorry to have caused you so much trouble."
"It's okay. Come to your aunt's house when you are free in the future." He Lijun said with a kind smile. She was initially attracted by the young man because he was her youngest son's boss, but after spending the whole morning together, she couldn't find any fault with him, whether it was his intentions or his behavior.
A young and promising boss who owns houses in both South City and North City. His game company will be listed next year. It never hurts to make friends with such people, she thought to herself, looking at her dull eldest son and then at her heartless youngest son.
"I heard from He Nian that you are only four years older than him. It must be very hard for you to open a company in Nanshi at such a young age."
"It's okay. I relied on my teacher to guide me before, so it wasn't hard." Kong Lingyu's face was calm, and he talked about the hardships of more than ten years in a few light words. Fang Huai listened quietly, and also keenly noticed that Kong Lingyu was in a bad mood.
The Kong Lingyu in front of him, who was at ease, was completely different from the impulsive bully in his childhood. He could only find a sense of familiarity in that face. Fang Huai was bored and chatted with Li Xuan on his mobile phone. Li Xuan was very lively there. He specially sent the video he took last night to Fang Huai.
In the sky like a black curtain, brilliant fireworks exploded and disappeared in intervals of no more than ten seconds. There was no sound in the video, only brilliant fireworks. The flickering flames were reflected in the clear eyes, creating waves.
At the end of the video, there is Li Xuan’s New Year’s blessing with a smile: I wish my Fang Huai a happy New Year and happiness forever.
A pair of hands naturally clasped Fang Huai's shoulders, and a magnetic, smiling voice rang out in his ears: "So, I should call you brother."
The evil look in Kong Lingyu's eyes could not be hidden at all. Fang Huai secretly patted Kong Lingyu and glared at him. This guy was obviously older than him!
How could I have the nerve to take advantage of him? No, Fang Huai thought again, it was clearly him who was taking advantage.
Thinking of this, his frown relaxed, and he smiled and accepted the title calmly.
He Lijun said with a smile: "You should call me brother. Fang Huai is six years older than He Nian, and you are younger than Fang Huai, so calling me brother is also appropriate." Fang Huai sat up straight, nodded and said seriously: "Yes, you can call me brother."
The smile on Kong Lingyu's face froze. Seeing Fang Huai's curved eyes, he called out in a cheesy and affectionate way, "Brother—" The trailing tone was drawn out, causing goose bumps. Fang Huai rubbed his arms, took out a red envelope from his pocket and handed it to Kong Lingyu, saying a little unnaturally, "Well, it's New Year's money."
Kong Lingyu took the red envelope with a smile, gritted his teeth and said word by word: "Thank you, brother!"
"Um."
Kong Lingyu smiled and said, "I heard from my aunt that my brother is already an attending physician at such a young age. He must be very busy with his work. I wonder if I can see him again after today." Kong Lingyu called Fang Huai "brother" left and right, deliberately provoking Fang Huai.
"Fang Huai started school early. Your uncle was still teaching at that time, so he taught him as well. He has been smart and sensible since he was young, unlike his younger brother who is a worry." He Lijun patted Fang Henian and glared at him. The mother and son were very close.
Fang Huai nodded and said to Kong Lingyu, "The school was not very strict at that time, and I skipped a few grades." Fang's father was still a teacher at that time, and his adoptive mother was found to be pregnant and hid back in her hometown.
Before he completed the admission procedures, Fang Sijie took him with him, found him a small desk in the back row of his class, and let him study with him.
After the program was completed and he had learned enough, Fang's father placed him in his own class and continued to teach him. Finding that he was a quick learner, his adoptive father took him directly to advanced level knowledge, allowing him to skip several grades.
He was surrounded by children who were several years older than him, and he stood in the middle, small and small.
It seems out of place no matter how you look at it.
Kong Lingyu sat silently beside Fang Huai, not knowing what he was thinking. Fang Henian dodged his mother's slap and jumped to Fang Huai's side and said, "Brother, is there anything going on today?"
Fang Huai shook his head, "No."
Fang Henian took Fang Huai's phone and saw several cracks on the screen. He guessed that it must have been dropped last night and suggested, "I see your phone screen is broken. Why don't you go out with us later and change the screen protector on the way."
Fang Huai didn't care much and was about to refuse when Kong Lingyu interrupted him and said, "It was because of me that it was broken, so I should pay for it. Brother - why don't you come with us? Just consider it a farewell for me."
The word "brother" was emphasized, and Kong Lingyu put his arm around Fang Huai's shoulders, as if he would not let go unless he agreed.
"No need, a phone screen protector doesn't cost much, I'll reimburse you." Fang Henian waved his hand and said proudly, "Brother, let's go together!"
"Xiao Kong, are you leaving today? Stay at your aunt's house for the New Year. I'll make you something delicious." When He Lijun heard that Kong Lingyu was leaving, she immediately tried to stop him.
"Yes, stay." Fang Sijie also tried to persuade her: "It's so rare for you to come here, and you haven't even had a good meal."
Kong Lingyu stood up and said, "No need, uncle and aunt, I'm already disturbing you."
"I will definitely come to visit you if I have the chance in the future."
He half-jokingly said, "I hope uncle and auntie will let me in when the time comes." He looked at Fang Huai and said, "Brother too."
"Uncle and auntie, you are welcome to come anytime!" The couple sent the people to the door and gave instructions to the two brothers. Then Fang Henian carried the luggage and went to drive.
Fang Huai waved to them from the passenger seat and asked them to go back, and then they turned around and went home.
As they walked down the street, He Lijun said to her husband, "Old Fang, do you think Xiao Kong and Fang Huai are too close? They seem to know each other better."
Fang Sijie patted his wife's hand and said comfortingly, "Isn't that how young people get along? You're overthinking it."
"I hope so." He Lijun murmured.
At this moment, Kong Lingyu leaned back in the back seat of the car, and slowly typed a line of words on the screen: [Smash the apartment.]
The other party slowly sent a few question marks, [Me? I don't believe it, send a voice message. ]
After seeing the reply, Kong Lingyu put the phone aside.
A while later, a video was sent over from the other side. In it, the sofa and walls were splashed with paint, the wooden coffee table was smashed into pieces, and even the TV was not spared...
Kong Lingyu's lips curled up into a happy smile, his eyes always fixed on the passenger seat. His right hand tapped the car window happily, and his left hand held the phone and slowly typed a few words:
Well done.
