When Wei Xu came back from school, Wei You was lying on the sofa playing with his cell phone.
Wireless Internet has gradually become popular in China this year. Wei You spent the whole afternoon asking someone to install an Internet cable for his home. Now he can finally access the Internet as he pleases.
However, having an Internet cable alone is not enough. He was thinking that next time he goes back, he might be able to bring his rarely used laptop at home.
If he remembered correctly, there was a computer test in the high school entrance examination. Bringing the computer over would allow Wei Xu to become familiar with computer operation earlier.
Having said that, when Wei You heard the sound of the key turning the door lock, he turned to look at the door, and then saw Wei Xu walking in carrying a schoolbag and two large plastic bags of food.
"I'm back." He said loudly. Seeing Wei You sitting on the sofa outside, he couldn't help but smile, and then put two plastic bags printed with the words "a certain vegetable market" on the coffee table in front of him.
"You bought so many vegetables," Wei You sat up and took a look at the plastic bag. "Beef, pork, and half a chicken. So many meat dishes. Is today a good day?"
Wei Xu: "It was the day after you came back."
Wei You raised his eyebrows, then smiled and stood up: "Okay, then I'll cook a few more dishes today to celebrate that I'm finally done with work."
"Um."
·
Because we cooked a lot of dishes, we ate late, and by the time dinner was over, it was already dark.
Wei Xu rarely had any homework today, so after dinner he had some free time, so the two of them sat on the sofa and watched the movie "Titanic" together.
When the famous scene where the hero draws for the heroine was shown, Wei Xu suddenly remembered and said, "Brother, I want to sign up for an art class."
Wei You turned his head in surprise: "From school?"
"No, they are from an off-campus organization. They came to the school today to hand out flyers."
"If you want to learn, just go ahead and learn." Wei You had no objection to this and didn't ask him why he wanted to learn. Anyway, he had enough money now and didn't care about the money for the training class.
"Give me the flyer later. If there are any adult courses, I will sign up for one and learn with you."
Wei Xu smiled softly and replied, "Okay."
·
After making the decision, Wei You quickly took action. As soon as Saturday came, he took Wei Xu and found the small building where the training institution was located according to the address on the flyer.
There are many training classes in the building, including painting, music, calligraphy and dance.
Wei Xu signed up for a professional sketching class, and Wei You saw that there were adult painting classes, so he also signed up for one, which was just in time to connect with the courses he had learned before.
The class schedules of the two classes are slightly different. Wei Xu has two classes every Saturday, while Wei You's adult class is more casual. As long as he has time, he can make an appointment for class at any time. Even if the teacher is not there, he can go to the studio to practice by himself.
Wei You was very satisfied with the degree of freedom of this course. This way, even if he occasionally returned to reality to do something, it would not have any impact.
It took less than an hour to sign up for the training class, and it was still early when they came out of the training institution. Wei You saw that the weather was pretty good, so he took Wei Xu shopping and wanted to buy some clothes for him.
"I have clothes to wear." Wei Xu said.
"Do you think I didn't notice that I was wearing two white T-shirts every day?"
"I'm growing fast now, so there's no need to buy a lot of clothes." Wei Xu continued, "Besides, we have to wear school uniforms anyway."
Wei You certainly knew this, but he was eager to dress up his "son". Wei Xu's reason could not impress him at all: "You have such a beautiful face. Don't you think it's a waste if you don't buy some beautiful clothes to set it off?"
Wei Xu shook his head and didn't think so at all.
Wei You simply said, "Never mind, just listen to me and I will spend money on you."
Wei Xu couldn't resist him in this regard when he was a child, and he couldn't resist him now either, so he could only respond obediently: "Okay."
Then he added, without hope: "Buy fewer."
Wei You nodded perfunctorily and enthusiastically took him to visit men's clothing stores along the street.
Wei Xu is thin, with broad shoulders and long legs, and has excellent proportions. No matter what style of clothes or pants he wears, they fit him well.
In this situation, Wei Xu's clothes were the easiest to choose from. After only half an hour of shopping, Wei You paid for three pieces of clothing, two pairs of trousers, and a pair of shoes for him.
When he walked out of the shoe store with the bag, Wei Xu saw that he was still going to shop further, so he immediately grabbed his arm and said, "Okay, brother, buy it next time."
Wei You thought that it was already the end of summer and if he bought too many clothes, he would not be able to wear them all, so he nodded and said, "Okay, let's do this."
Just as Wei Xu finished speaking, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Wei You saw a lingerie store on the left and said, "Sell all your clothes and pants, just buy a whole set. I didn't buy you red underwear last year during your zodiac year, so I'll make it up to you this year."
Wei Xu wanted to refuse, but Wei You had already walked over there, so he could only follow him with the bag.
After entering the store, Wei You passed the women's underwear and went to the men's underwear rack. Wei Xu followed closely behind him without looking around.
The shop owner was a very elegant woman. When she saw them come in, she walked over and asked, "Who are you buying this for?"
Wei You pointed at Wei Xu and said, "My brother is thirteen years old. Buy him some underwear. Do you have any red ones?"
"Yes." The proprietress looked at Wei Xu for a while, then took out a pair of boxer briefs and gave them to him: "How about this one, it's made of pure cotton, very good quality, and very breathable."
Wei You took the underwear and pinched the fabric. It was indeed quite comfortable. He turned around and asked Wei Xu: "How about this?"
Wei Xu glanced and nodded casually.
Wei You said, "Then pack this up for me."
"Why don't you buy a few more? This one comes in a box of four, and there are several colors." The proprietress picked up another box of underwear from the bottom and showed it to him.
"Can."
"Then I'll pack this box for you. One box costs 120 yuan. For someone with his body type, the smallest size M should be enough, right?"
Just as Wei You was about to respond, Wei Xu suddenly tugged at his clothes. Wei You turned his head away, and the other party whispered, "I want something looser. Buy an L."
"Won't this make your waist look bigger?"
“It’s okay if it’s a little bigger.”
Wei You nodded, turned to the proprietress and asked her to change to size L.
After a while, the two walked out of the store. Wei You noticed that Wei Xu's ears and neck were a little red. He thought he was shy because of the boss lady's scrutiny just now, so he couldn't help but smile: "What's there to be shy about?"
Wei Xu did not respond.
Wei You thought that he was in puberty, so he asked, "Does your school have a special physiological education class?"
Wei Xu was stunned for a moment, then replied: "I heard there will be one in the future."
"That's good."
Wei You thought that if he were asked to explain this to Wei Xu, he really didn't know where to start.
"Brother, have you ever had a girlfriend?" Wei Xu suddenly asked shortly after crossing the road.
Wei You was about to answer no, but suddenly remembered that he had dated a girl for a few months in high school, so he changed the topic and said, "We didn't have a formal relationship."
"oh."
"Why are you asking that?"
Wei Xu thought for a while, then said slowly: "There is a girl in our class who brings me food every day. I don't know what to do."
When Wei You heard this, his first reaction was to tease him, but then he remembered that this was the kid he had raised since childhood, and not the group of brothers and friends he had made in the real world, and he couldn't help but feel worried.
He thought seriously for a moment, and then offered advice seriously: "From my perspective, I would definitely hope that you would focus on studying at this age. Studying is the most important task you have to do right now.
"As for dating, there is still a long time in the future. You have plenty of time to pursue and fall in love. So, if you don't have any feelings for the female classmate who is pursuing you, it's best to reject her outright."
Wei Xu nodded.
"Do you like her?"
Wei Xu shook his head.
"That's all. Just explain it to her. If she continues to pursue you, you can talk to your class teacher. I believe your class teacher can handle this kind of thing."
"Um."
After walking for a while, Wei Xu asked again: "Brother, do you want to find a girlfriend?"
"Me?" Wei You took a breath and then chuckled, "It's hard to force it. It depends on fate."
"What kind do you like?"
Wei You glanced at him and said, "You are quite nosy. You ask so many detailed questions."
Wei Xu pursed his lips and smiled obediently.
Wei You thought it was normal for him to be curious about such things at his age, so he answered seriously: "I have a lot of requirements. First of all, she has to be alive, and then she has to look good to my taste, she has to be gentle and sometimes act like a spoiled child, she has to be kind, filial, loyal, and have a good temper. Well...that's all, I don't have any other standards."
"That's not too much to ask."
"Yeah."
Wei Xu nodded, thinking back to the conditions he proposed, they were not really requests at all.
"You are still young and don't understand. In fact, this kind of thing mainly depends on chemistry. If you really like someone, the prerequisites and standards don't matter." Wei You put his hand on his shoulder and spoke with the tone of an experienced person.
Wei Xu nodded thoughtfully and didn't ask any more questions.
·
Wei You didn't take this conversation to heart. After all, he had been single for many years and was used to being asked about his girlfriend.
Unexpectedly, just half a month later, he found that he seemed to have a suitor.
The other person was the young female teacher who taught him painting in the training class. Her surname was Ma and her name was Ma Lanjing. She was a girl with a round face and a sunny smile.
Every time Wei You's appointment time came, the other party would prepare tea and fruits for all the students on that day.
Wei You didn't notice these things at first. It was only when others mentioned to him that every time he went there, there would be delicious food that day that he vaguely realized this.
But Wei You was not sure whether the other party really liked him. After all, "she is secretly in love with me" is one of the three major illusions in life.
Until one Saturday afternoon in late September, after the class ended in the evening, the female teacher asked him to wait for a while, and then after the other students left, she asked: "How about having dinner together in the evening?"
Wei You was a little confused for a moment. Ever since he quit his job and stayed at home to make videos, he hadn't been asked out by a girl in such a straightforward way for a long time.
"I know a very delicious restaurant. Let's go together." Ma Lanjing smiled a little shyer than usual, with a light blush on her face.
Wei You subconsciously wanted to refuse, but he didn't want to refuse too bluntly to avoid awkwardness when they met in the future.
Just as I was hesitating about what to say, Wei Xu happened to appear at the front door carrying a shoulder bag.
Realizing that Wei You was stopped by the female teacher, Wei Xu leaned against the door frame, holding the strap of his shoulder bag, slightly tilting his head, and looked over here with a leisurely attitude.
Wei You just found an excuse to refuse, and said with a smile: "Forget it, my brother is waiting for me, I will go back with him to eat."
"Can you ask your brother to come along?" Ma Lanjing said, "That restaurant is newly opened by my friend, and he has been asking me to bring a few friends over to support the business. You won't be disrespectful, right?"
"Uh, he..." Wei You looked at Wei Xu and winked at him to make him refuse.
However, no one knew what was wrong with the child. He was usually very smart, but today he just leaned against the door frame motionlessly. There was no impatience or any expression of watching a show on his face. He just looked indifferent and even a little cold.
Wei You vaguely read some unhappiness in his eyes, and he didn't know who had offended him.
