Extra: Yao Xiuyuan's Age (Eleven)
Yao Xiuyuan opened the wine and poured a glass for each of them. Yingnian tasted it and found that the alcohol content was indeed very low, with more of the sour and sweet taste of fruit wine.
“It tastes pretty good.”
Yao Xiuyuan didn't like drinking fruit wine very much. In his opinion, this kind of wine was a bit like a beverage. Therefore, even when someone gave it to him, he never drank it. If he hadn't seen Yingnian drinking today, he would have forgotten about this bottle of wine.
He added some more to Yingnian, "As long as you like it."
Ying Nian glanced at him and asked him, "Aren't you going to sleep?"
"I'll go to sleep later. I'm not busy these two days, so I can go a little later in the morning."
Ying Nian sighed, "I feel like I've been bothering you these past two days."
"Why are you being polite again?" Yao Xiuyuan looked at him, "You refuse to change despite repeated admonitions?"
Ying Nian smiled and shook his head, "No, I just feel that way. Do you have any friends who are kind to you? You are quite gentle?"
"Of course there is." Yao Xiuyuan took a sip of wine, "I'm such a good person, how could there be no one who has done this to me?"
“It’s also quite narcissistic.”
"This is confidence." Yao Xiuyuan retorted.
"With your conditions, you don't have a girlfriend?" Ying Nian asked curiously.
"I dated in college, but we broke up later. Since then, I've been busy with work and haven't met anyone I particularly like, so I've stopped dating."
Ying Nian was a little surprised. "You only had one girlfriend in college? I thought you had a rich love history."
Yao Xiuyuan laughed when he heard this, his eyes slightly raised, with a bit of pride, "I look like I'm popular with women, right?"
"Isn't it?"
"Yes and no, I'm not Shao Yong, a playboy or a butterfly."
"Does Shao Yong know that you did this to him behind his back?"
"Does he still need to do this behind my back?" Yao Xiuyuan took the beer that Ying Nian had opened earlier and poured himself a glass. "I have told him so many times in front of him, but in this kind of situation, it's a matter of love between a man and a woman, and the two parties are willing to do it, so outsiders can't interfere."
Yao Xiuyuan took a sip of wine, Yingnian watched him drink, and took a few sips himself. Probably because he had drunk a few glasses of beer before, plus the fruit wine in his hand, under the influence of alcohol, although Yingnian was not drunk, he was more relaxed than usual, and said with a sense of feeling: "Yes, in the final analysis, it depends on yourself when it comes to emotional matters."
He took a sip of wine. The sweet and sour taste relaxed his taste buds, but his mood was made heavy again by this sentence, so that he poured himself two more glasses of wine without realizing it.
Seeing that he suddenly stopped talking and just kept drinking, Yao Xiuyuan reached out and held his hand, advising him, "You drink too fast, slow down."
Yingnian looked up at him, her eyes as clear as water carrying some sadness and confusion under the light.
Yao Xiuyuan unconsciously let go of his hand and asked him, "What's wrong with you?"
Ying Nian said nothing, just looked at the wine in the glass. Yao Xiuyuan sensitively felt that he was in a bad mood, so he didn't say anything. There was silence between the two of them for a while.
After a long while, Ying Nian sighed, shook his head, and smiled at him, "Nothing, just thinking of some past events."
Yao Xiuyuan guessed that the past events he was talking about were related to Tang Yu. He looked at Ying Nian and asked tentatively, "Are you willing to be with me?"
Ying Nian seemed to have not expected him to do this and was a little surprised for a moment.
Yao Xiuyuan smiled and said gently, "If you keep things in your heart, they will only get worse. Sometimes, it will be better to speak them out. Just like those tree hole posts on the Internet, I promise that I will only be a tree hole and will not share your affairs."
Ying Nian listened, looking at him in a daze, but he didn't know where to start or what to do. He has never been a person who likes to trouble others, and he doesn't like to tell others about his feelings. He can love Tang Yu without reservation and let Tang Yu know that he loves him, but he can't tell others about his feelings. He is used to loving and taking responsibility alone, and sharing his emotions with another person is not a simple and ordinary thing for him.
Seeing that he didn't seem to say it, Yao Xiuyuan thought he was not willing to do it. After all, emotional matters are always private, so he pretended to be cool and said, "I don't seem to look like a tree hole. So, you wait for me to buy you a tree hole next time, and then you can face it quietly."
Ying Nian's face, which was a little bit at a loss just now, was instantly stained with a smile after hearing this sentence. He lowered his eyes unconsciously, but then slowly raised his head to look at Yao Xiuyuan. Yao Xiuyuan still looked gentle and gentle, as if he wouldn't mind whether Ying Nian was right or not.
But Ying Nian discovered that in his subconscious, he seemed to have some thoughts. Those things had been accumulated in his heart for so long, precipitated and decayed. He carried these pasts alone. Occasionally, when he looked down, those things were like a quagmire that pulled him down, making him feel heavy and embarrassed.
If I could come out, maybe... it would be better.
Ying Nian drank a glass of wine. Yao Xiuyuan did not stop him, so he drank another glass. When Yao Xiuyuan was about to persuade him, he slowly spoke, "I actually..." He looked at the wine in the glass, blinked, and whispered, "Actually... I don't know what to do."
