It was so cold in the early hours of the morning after I got off work that I was shivering.
Chen Cixiu was sitting in his car, about to drive home, when he suddenly received a call from Guan Yue.
It's been a long time since I last saw Guan Yue. We haven't seen each other since the last gathering.
Chen Cixiu answered the phone.
"Hey? Brother Xiu, you're still awake?"
Guan Yue sounded very happy.
"No, I just got off work and was about to go home," Chen Cixiu said with a smile. "You haven't contacted your buddy in ages. What brings you to call me today? And at this hour no less."
"Hey, that's great! Of course! Can you come out now? Your wife won't be angry, will she?"
Guan Yue asked tentatively.
After all, he's a married man, and as a good brother, I should definitely consider his situation.
If President Jiang gets angry, then he won't dare to call out.
"Judging from your expression, are you planning to ask me out for a late-night snack?"
No wonder we're best friends; we were inseparable for three years of high school, it was truly worth it.
Guan Yue said happily, "You really are a good brother, Brother Xiu. I really wish you and Yuanzi could be here, but unfortunately, Yuanzi has been transferred to another place. Otherwise, we would definitely have gotten together tonight."
Chen Cixiu said, "Okay, give me an address, I'll go there now."
"Brother, you have to tell me first, will sister-in-law be angry? Don't make me the bad guy," Guan Yue said cautiously.
Chen Cixiu said, "Fatty, you don't believe your brother Xiu has any status at home, do you?"
"Yes, yes, every married man says that. Okay, since your wife won't be angry, then come quickly, I'll give you the address."
Subsequently, Guan Yue sent the address.
Chen Cixiu drove straight to the location.
As expected of Fatty, he really knows the best barbecue spots in this city by heart. He's been away from this city for four years, but he still remembers it.
Chen Cixiu got out of the car, breathing out warm air. It was already three or four degrees Celsius, quite cold.
He was shivering from the cold.
Fortunately, this barbecue restaurant learned from the people of southeastern Guizhou and placed charcoal braziers under the tables, which made it much warmer.
"Brother Xiu, over here."
Before they even got close, Guan Yue raised his hand and shouted.
Chen Cixiu walked over with a smile and saw that he had already placed the wine on the table.
"Hey, Fatty, what's the most exciting thing you've got today? You're even drinking."
Chen Cixiu still remembered his good friend's habits.
Guan Yue doesn't like to drink when he's unhappy, but he does like to drink when he's happy.
Unlike many others.
I remember back in high school, Guan Yue was so happy that Shen Yue took the initiative to greet him. He said at the time, "If it weren't for my parents saying that minors can't drink alcohol, I would definitely try this wine today."
From then on, whenever Guan Yue encountered something happy, he would say this phrase.
During his university years, Chen Cixiu went to see him, and to his surprise, he actually invited Chen Cixiu out for drinks.
"Hehe, this is really great news, you'll see in a bit."
Guan Yue was as happy as a child.
Although he wasn't very old to begin with.
The owner brought out the grilled meat.
Chen Cixiu and Guan Yue ate roasted meat and drank wine.
After finishing two bottles, the time was right, and Chen Cixiu asked, "Hey Fatty, shouldn't you share your happy moments with me now? Let me hear what your happy moments are."
"hey-hey."
Guan Yue's simple, honest smile made Chen Cixiu feel as if he had returned to his high school days.
Whenever he gets shy, he scratches his neck and makes a silly laugh, making him look even sillier.
Chen Cixiu was not in a hurry and waited quietly.
"Brother Xiu, let me tell you, Shen Yue, Shen Yue has agreed to be my girlfriend."
After a moment of shyness, Guan Yue finally spoke up, becoming happier and happier as he spoke.
Chen Cixiu looked at him in surprise.
This was completely unexpected.
Everyone in the school knew that Guan Yue liked Shen Yue, including the principal.
Back then, Guan Yue stood up for Shen Yue because someone was bullying her, and he got beaten up and his face was swollen. At that time, it was the first time Guan Yue's parents had come to the school.
Shen Yue wasn't intimidated and sided with Guan Yue.
Those perpetrators were all punished at the time.
From that time onwards, no one dared to bully Shen Yue anymore.
It was around that time that Chen Cixiu learned that Guan Yue liked Shen Yue.
But nobody had high hopes for them.
Because Guan Yue was really too fat; at only sixteen or seventeen years old, he weighed over 180 pounds.
If he were 1.8 meters tall, there would be no problem, but he is 1.72 meters tall, which means he is overweight.
Guan Yue's peak weight reached 200 jin (100 kg), but he was forced to lose weight to 170 or 180 jin (350-400 kg).
However, throughout his three years of high school, he weighed over 170 pounds.
So nobody had high hopes for them.
I don't know why, but in the past four years, Guan Yue has lost a lot of weight.
Four years have completely transformed him from a fat man into a very handsome guy.
Sure enough, fat people are all potential stars.
Even so, no one was optimistic about them.
Because Shen Yue had someone she liked during college, someone she liked a lot. During winter and summer vacations, they would go to the city where the other was studying. Every time they went out, Shen Yue would say, "I must win him over."
Whether he succeeded in catching up with her later is unknown.
Because I haven't seen her post anything on WeChat Moments.
The brothers all guessed that it probably didn't work out.
Shen Yue wasn't particularly beautiful, nor was she the type to be the most beautiful girl in her department or class.
In general, he's just an ordinary person.
But Guan Yue simply liked her.
I don't know why.
Just like when Guan Yue came to the high school reunion, his first words were, "Brother Xiu, is Shen Yue here? You know, I've liked her since I was a kid."
But now, only a few months have passed?
Guan Yue and Shen Yue are actually together?
Could this really be the same thing that Shen Yue said to Guan Yue back then?
I'll say yes once you lose weight?
"elder brother?"
Guan Yue called out to Chen Cixiu a few times.
Chen Cixiu began to inquire about the details.
The two chatted, drank, and ate barbecue, getting happier and happier as they talked.
Chen Cixiu patted Guan Yue on the shoulder and said, "Fatty, you know, in our little group, Shen Yue is like a little sister to us. Now that you're with Shen Yue, you must treat her well."
"Brother, don't worry, I would never let her suffer any injustice."
Guan Yue patted his chest and assured him.
Chen Cixiu smiled, genuinely happy that Guan Yue and Shen Yue were together.
However, when Guan Yue went to the restroom, he secretly sent a WeChat message to Shen Yue.
I didn't expect Shen Yue to still be awake.
"Yes, I like him too."
This is a WeChat message from Shen Yue.
Chen Cixiu smiled as he watched Guan Yue return from the restroom.
