Since he couldn't ask his brother for help, Wei You had to politely refuse: "There are some leftovers at home today. If we don't eat them, they will go bad."
"Leftovers are not as delicious as freshly cooked ones. Why don't you ask your brother to come with you?" Ma Lanjing persuaded. "And it's not just the two of us. Teacher Jiang and Teacher Mei will also go. I've already told them."
Mr. Jiang is Wei Xu's painting teacher, a male teacher who just got married not long ago.
It was said that Teacher Mei taught dance. Wei You had met her twice and remembered that she was a very beautiful woman in her early thirties.
Having said that, Wei You thought it was strange for a group of teachers from a training institution to go out for dinner and invite two students along alone.
Just as he was hesitating, Teacher Mei came in from the door carrying a bag and wearing high heels, and helped persuade him, "Let's go together. We don't have any other intentions. We just want to have a meal and make friends."
The other party had already said this, and it would be too disrespectful for Wei You to refuse again, so he had no choice but to agree.
So twenty minutes later, Wei You and Wei Xu appeared in a private room on the second floor of a restaurant.
Ma Lanjing did not lie, the owner of the restaurant was really her friend, a young and enthusiastic girl who looked about the same age as her.
She personally entertained them, recommended several of the chef's specialties, and after they took their orders, she asked the waiter to bring two dozen free beers and drinks.
After the loud-mouthed boss left, the atmosphere in the private room suddenly fell into an eerie silence.
Although everyone said that they came out to try out the newly opened restaurant, both the other two teachers present and Wei You himself were more or less clear about the actual purpose of this meal.
Teacher Jiang was a man with a high forehead. He was not talkative and just kept eating snacks and drinking wine. Teacher Mei was quite good at passing messages and asked Teacher Jiang to talk about Wei Xu's performance in class.
At such gatherings, children's academic performance is always brought up as a topic of conversation to ease awkwardness.
When talking about his work, Teacher Jiang talked a lot more.
He treated Wei You as Wei Xu's parent and praised Wei Xu with all kinds of good words. Then he talked about how difficult it was for him to learn painting in the past. His family did not agree, so he could only work to earn tuition fees.
Soon, as the dishes were served one after another, the atmosphere at the table became lively.
After drinking some wine, several teachers became much more talkative.
Ma Lanjing was particularly enthusiastic. No matter who said what, she would always smile and support them, never letting the topic go off the table, making the atmosphere in the private room much more relaxed and lively.
Teacher Jiang asked Wei You what he did for a living. Wei You replied indirectly that he was studying photography. Ma Lanjing immediately said that she had been a photography model in college, and then talked about her past experience as a model.
After all, it was she who brought up the topic, and Wei You couldn't ignore her, so he started chatting about it.
Until the waiter brought a new plate of sweet and sour pork ribs, Wei You knew that Wei Xu liked to eat it, so he turned the plate and picked up two pieces for him.
"I don't want to eat." Wei Xu suddenly said in a low voice.
"Don't you want to eat?" Wei You asked in a puzzled tone.
In the past, whenever I cooked this kind of sweet and sour dish, the other party would always finish the whole dish.
He put the two pieces of ribs back into his bowl, glanced at the clean plate in front of Wei Xu, and asked softly, "What's wrong? Don't you have a good appetite? You don't seem to have moved your chopsticks much."
Wei Xu shook his head and picked up a piece of celery with chopsticks and put it into his mouth as if nothing had happened.
Wei You then felt that something was wrong with him.
God knows, this child’s favorite thing to eat is celery.
Because of Wei Xu's strange behavior, Wei You paid more attention to him afterwards, picking up some of his favorite dishes for him, and didn't participate much in the conversation.
When he was almost done eating, Wei You went to the front desk to pay the bill under the pretext of going to the restroom, only to find out that the boss had already paid the bill. He returned to the private room somewhat embarrassedly.
After a while, Ma Lanjing also went to the bathroom. When she came back, she smiled at Wei You and said, "You went to pay the bill just now, didn't you?"
"Xiao Wei, are you paying the bill?" Teacher Mei asked in surprise while drinking. "How dare you ask us to pay after we dragged you out."
Wei You was about to explain, but Ma Lanjing waved her hand and said, "Fortunately, I informed my friend in advance and told him that it was my treat. You are being too polite."
Having said that, she looked quite happy smiling.
After dinner, they said goodbye at the restaurant entrance.
Wei You didn't live in the same direction as the three of them, so after saying goodbye, he took Wei Xu and walked along the slightly deserted road towards the intersection with Jingping Street.
The late summer evening still lingers with the heat of the afternoon, and a lazy atmosphere is floating in the breeze.
Wei Xu seemed to be infected by this lazy atmosphere. He kept his eyelids drooping and looked uninterested along the way. No matter what Wei You talked about, he just responded indifferently.
When they reached the fruit shop at the entrance of the alley, Wei You asked him if he wanted to buy some fruit to take back.
Wei Xu glanced at the rows of large watermelons on the stall and shook his head.
"Don't you want to buy some? You ate so little for dinner."
"I don't want to eat."
"What's wrong? Weren't you happy during the day?" Wei You couldn't stand his gloomy look and asked directly, "Or did you encounter something unhappy in class today?"
Wei Xu still shook his head, his expression gloomy and indifferent.
After a while, he suddenly raised his eyes and looked at him and asked, "Brother, do you like Teacher Ma?"
Wei You was stunned. He didn't expect him to ask about this.
Thinking that he was gossiping again, Wei You answered truthfully: "I don't like her, but she is a nice person."
Wei Xu frowned slightly: "Since you don't like it, why didn't you refuse her invitation to dinner just now?"
"I can't refuse this." Wei You sighed softly, walked to the watermelon stand, bent down to pick a watermelon and explained: "After all, she is a girl, and I will have to take classes with her in the future. Since she didn't show any purpose, she just said she wanted to have a meal and make friends. If I say no, everyone will be embarrassed."
Hearing such a gentle answer, Wei Xu became anxious instead, as if there was a fishbone stuck in his throat that was difficult to pull out.
The more anxious I became, the colder his expression became. He asked in a cold tone, "Why do you have to worry so much? If you don't like it, just reject it. Isn't that what you told me?"
Wei You held a small watermelon in one hand and turned back in surprise: "Is there a bomb hidden in today's food? Why are you so angry?"
Wei Xu was stunned when he recalled his tone just now.
Wei You put the watermelon back, stood up straight and raised his chin towards him: "Come on, tell me what happened?"
Wei Xu met his inquiring gaze and was speechless for a moment.
What should he say.
I don't want you to have a girlfriend.
I don’t want you to marry some woman, have your child, and then abandon me.
This was what he was worried about and deeply feared, but he couldn't say it out loud.
Wei Xu deeply understood how selfish his thoughts were.
Of course he knew that Wei You had done nothing wrong. Both the man and the woman were single, and it was normal for them to have a meal and make friends. He should never behave in a way that would spoil the fun like he did just now.
But he still couldn't control his emotions. He kept silent while trying to use his expression and body language to let Wei You understand his thoughts...
The two of them stared at each other in a stalemate for a long while, and even the wind stopped blowing.
In the end, Wei Xu just lowered his head and said "It's okay", then turned and walked towards the alley.
A small yellow cat was sitting on the manhole cover in the middle of the alley, tilting its head back and meowing at the boy as if to say hello.
Wei Xu glanced at it, walked straight past it and into the alley.
Wei You frowned and watched his back as it gradually disappeared into the dark shadows. He felt that there was a sense of fragile stubbornness from his straight back to his bony shoulders.
"It's harder to communicate with your child now that he's grown up, right?"
The fat boss of the fruit shop knew Wei You and Wei Xu. He didn't hear their conversation, but he felt that the atmosphere was very tense. He came over to find a sense of identity: "My daughter is about the same age as him. She is in the second grade of junior high school. Now she has a very bad temper. She can't be talked to at all. If you say a few more words, she will make a fuss. She quarrels with her mother every day."
Speaking of this, the fruit shop owner couldn't help but frown and shake his head.
"It's normal. It's the rebellious period." Wei You curled the corner of his mouth.
"I don't know how long this rebellious period will last. If you ignore her, she will quarrel with you. If you talk to her nicely, she will think you are scolding her." The boss muttered a few more words, then he remembered his job and asked Wei You: "Which one should I buy?"
Wei You picked up the watermelon he had just picked and asked, "Is this watermelon sweet?"
"It's very sweet. If it's not sweet, bring it here and I'll change it for free until I get one that's sweet."
Wei You smiled and said, "Okay, then buy this."
·
When I went upstairs carrying the watermelon, Wei Xu was already sitting at the desk writing his diary.
Wei You brought him a plate of watermelon, and the other party said "thank you" without even looking up.
Wei You noticed that he was still in a bad mood, so he tactfully said nothing. He returned to the living room, closed the curtains, leaned on the sofa and watched the educational movie "Dead Poets Society".
Wei You had watched the movie before, and while watching it, he was distracted, wondering why Wei Xu was angry.
Suddenly, Wei Xu's words, which seemed to have been bombed, flashed through his mind, "If you don't like it, just reject it decisively. Isn't that what you told me?"
Could it be that he feels that his elder has not set a good example for him and is therefore disappointed in him?
If this is really the reason, how can we appease him?
"The adult world is very complicated and cannot be generalized." If this were said, Wei Xu, who was classified as a child, would probably be even more unhappy.
After all, a major characteristic of a child in his rebellious period is that you cannot say that he is young and ignorant.
Wei You frowned in annoyance and clicked his tongue slightly.
He seldom interacted with children of this age. Although he had also experienced this period, perhaps because his lazy nature was engraved in his bones since childhood, the most rebellious thing he had done was to stay in bed on school days, and half an hour later he sent a text message to the teacher in a father's tone saying that he was sick and needed a day off.
"It's hard to appease. Too hard..."
Unable to think of any ideas, Wei You simply watched a movie, hoping that he could get inspiration for a solution from the movie.
He tried to deal with his troubles by procrastinating, but half an hour later, Wei Xu, who had finished writing his diary, came out and sat next to him.
The boy leaned silently on the sofa, his body motionless, as if he was watching the movie seriously.
It was the first time that Wei You realized that this kid had such a strong presence. Just sitting there quietly made it impossible for him to concentrate on the movie.
After a moment of silence that sounded like tinnitus, he turned his head to look at Wei Xu's profile, which was shrouded in light and shadow, and was the first to break the silence: "Your father should be at home tonight, aren't you going back to sleep for a night?"
He had only suggested it casually, but Wei Xu suddenly sat up and looked at him, his expression complicated but with a hint of confusion and grievance, as if he was brewing something to say.
Wei You was about to ask him what he was going to say when he heard the other party speak clearly: "I'm sorry, brother, my tone when I spoke to you just now was a bit harsh, I didn't mean it, don't be angry."
Wei You raised his eyebrows, a little surprised.
I was just racking my brains to think of ways to coax the child, but I didn't expect that the other party would come to apologize to me first.
"I'm not angry." He subconsciously said to comfort her, and then asked: "What happened to you just now?"
"Actually, it has nothing to do with you, brother," Wei Xu lied calmly, "I'm in a bad mood because the school is holding an art festival recently. Two works for the art exhibition need to be submitted next Tuesday, and there will be a sports meet the week after next. I'm the class monitor, so I have to do a lot of things that no one else wants to do. When I thought about these things in the painting class today, I felt a little stressed."
Wei You took two seconds to react and roughly understood what he meant.
It was probably some kind of art festival activity, and the school required each class to submit some paintings. But if there were few people who could draw, Wei Xu, as a capable person, would have to work harder.
"So, you learned to paint because of this art festival?"
"There is one reason for this, and of course I am quite interested in it myself."
"Even if that's the case, you shouldn't take on so many things yourself. You're the class monitor, not your class's babysitter." Wei You felt sorry for Wei Xu's understanding and frowned, saying, "If there's something like this again, share some of the burden. Too much pressure will make you bald."
Wei Xu pursed the corners of his lips, lowered his head slightly and lowered his eyes. His long and thick eyelashes trembled gently in the dim movie light, like a kitten seeking comfort and solace, very adorable.
Wei You sighed, raised his hand and touched his head: "If you have anything to say, tell me. Don't hide it. You will get sick if you hold it in."
Wei Xu nodded and responded obediently.
"Are you feeling better now?"
"It's been adjusted."
Wei You breathed a sigh of relief: "It's good that you're okay."
The problem was solved, and Wei You felt relieved and happy. He smiled and asked, "Do you need my help with the painting you can't finish?"
Wei Xu shook his head: "I can do it."
"Besides," he added, "this is also a competition entry. It would be unfair to the others if I asked you to help. Even if no one knew about it, it would still be cheating."
Wei You let out a light sigh and the more he looked at Wei Xu, the more he liked him.
How could there be such an honest, kind and responsible child who doesn't look like his parents at all?
He was almost fooled by the fruit shop owner. How could Wei Xu's situation be the same as his daughter's? Even though his child had entered the rebellious period of adolescence, it was the most caring and sensible rebellious period.
·
I don’t know if it was affected by what happened that day, but two nights later, Wei You suddenly had a very strange dream.
He dreamed that he and Teacher Ma got married and gave birth to a baby a year later.
In the blink of an eye, he was standing at the door of the delivery room, full of doubts about how things turned out like this, why he married Ma Lanjing and had a child?
At this moment, the door of the delivery room suddenly opened, and a nurse wearing a mask brought out a crying baby and told him it was a boy.
Wei You took the baby in panic and bewilderment, and the baby stopped crying instantly in his arms.
He was wondering if he was really the child's father, and if the child had telepathy with him?
At this moment, when he looked down, he saw that the baby boy actually had the face of a little kid, staring at him with big eyes and puffed mouth with resentment in his eyes.
Wei You was startled and suddenly woke up.
I sat up and looked at the rocking chair in front of me, and took a few breaths before I realized that those were all dreams.
What about getting married, having children, or the baby having a silly face? They are all just false alarms.
Wei You let out a long sigh and touched his forehead, which was covered in cold sweat.
"It's really weird. How could I have such a dream?" Wei You sighed speechlessly, turned over and got out of bed, picked up the cup to drink water to calm himself down, and took out his mobile phone from the drawer to check the battery level.
He remembered that when he checked the battery level last night, it had turned red, indicating that the device was about to shut down.
When I picked it up and took a look, I saw that the power was indeed enough to run out at any time.
Because he had things he wanted to do when he got back, Wei You didn't charge his phone. He just put it in his pocket and went to the bathroom to wash up.
After breakfast, he tidied the house and estimated that the time was almost up, so he took out a sticky note, wrote down his plans for being away for a few days and the expected time of his return, and stuck it on the refrigerator.
Recently, he would leave a note like this for Wei Xu before going back every time. When the other party saw the note, he would feel at ease and he could do his own thing with peace of mind.
Almost as soon as he pressed the sticky note on the door, Wei You felt a familiar force pulling him, and his vision became blurred and dark in an instant.
·
"I'm back."
Wei Xu closed the door and took out slippers from the cabinet and put them on.
After waiting for a while and hearing no response, he didn't have time to put down his schoolbag. He went around the master bedroom and the balcony. Not finding anyone, he pushed open the bathroom door and took a look, but still no one was there.
Wei Xu frowned, walked through the kitchen door and went to the refrigerator.
Sure enough, another blue sticky note appeared on it.
He read the words on the sticky note twice, especially remembering the time Wei You marked for his return. Then he tore off the sticky note expressionlessly, crunched it into a small ball in his palm, and threw it into the trash can next to him.
Returning to his room, Wei Xu impatiently threw his schoolbag onto a chair, then stood by the bed and fell backwards, throwing himself heavily onto the bed.
His mind went blank and he stared at the ceiling in a daze for a while. Wei Xu pulled the quilt to cover half of his face.
Tempers are growing more and more fractious, he thought.
This is not a good thing. No one likes a child who is spoiled, willful and prone to temper tantrums.
My brother likes well-behaved and cute kids, but he is not cute at all.
Wei Xu knew his own temper very well.
When I was a kid, I could still pretend with my appearance advantage, but now I can’t even pretend.
"Why can't I be cute?" he said to himself.
Thinking back on the personalities of his classmates of the same age, even that big idiot Du Shao was more likable than him.
Perhaps it is because of this that my brother travels more and more frequently and more and more freely.
In the past, I would always try to make him happy before leaving, but now all he has left is a cold notice, without even a chance to say a word to me.
Wei Xu rolled around in bed in annoyance, covered himself with the quilt and thought for a while, and finally decided that he couldn't go on like this and he had to make a plan.
He immediately got out of bed and sat at the desk, opened a new notebook, turned to the first page and wrote down the date.
Wei Xu frowned and thought hard for a while, then buried his head in writing.
【Become Cute Plan:
1. My brother told me that I look cute when I smile and I should smile more;
2. Wear cute clothes (I don’t have any cute clothes at the moment, so I give up); 3. Learn to act like a spoiled child (cross it out, I can’t do it) and give in;
4. Study hard. Everyone likes children with good grades.
5. Use the interjections "ya", "ah", "ma" when speaking (forget it if you can't do it, your brother might find it corny); 6. ...]
It took him more than an hour to write the schedule, and when he finally couldn't continue, it was already completely dark.
Wei Xu was too lazy to cook, so he took a hot dog bun and milk from the refrigerator for dinner.
Because writing the "Secrets to Becoming Cute" took too much time, Wei Xu, who usually finished at least two assignments at this time, has not written a single word yet.
He decided to eat bread while doing his homework, so he held the bread in his mouth, unzipped his schoolbag, and pulled out a folded test book.
Just as I was about to put the notebook on the table, suddenly a thin novel magazine slipped out of the test book and fell to the ground with a "pop".
Wei Xu paused, squatted down to pick up the magazine, and when he saw its fancy cover, he remembered that this was a novel magazine that the political teacher had confiscated from a female classmate in class.
The teacher left the magazine with him at the end of class and asked him to return it to the classmate after school, but he forgot about it.
Wei Xu didn't care much about it. He put the magazine aside and started concentrating on doing his homework.
There was a lot of homework today, and he didn't finish it until after eight o'clock in the evening. Then he packed up his books and stationery as usual and put them back into his schoolbag one by one.
When picking up the novel magazine, Wei Xu glanced at the two people behaving intimately on the cover. They were both boys wearing white shirts, which made him feel a little strange.
Seeing that it was still early, he simply sat back in his chair, opened the magazine and started reading.
The story unfolds from the perspective of a high school student named Xi Yang. From the beginning, it is stated in a euphemistic way that he has a crush on a classmate named Qin Lang.
Because Qin Lang is a boy, Wei Xu subconsciously thinks Xi Yang is a girl.
After reading a few pages, he suddenly realized that Xi Yang was also a boy.
Did the author write the wrong gender?
Wei Xu couldn't help but frown, feeling a little weird and awkward, and continued reading with the thought of "I want to see what this is about."
This is actually a story of reconciliation.
Two high school boys fell in love. Due to opposition from their families, one went abroad to study, while the other lived in sadness all day long. Then, ten years passed, and they met at a party...
The story ends here because it has not been completed yet.
Wei Xu closed the magazine in disappointment, raised his head and felt a little sore on the back of his neck. When he looked at the time, he realized that he had been reading this strange novel for more than an hour.
He turned the magazine to the cover and recognized that the two people on the cover were the two male protagonists in the novel.
There are actually novels in this world that describe the love between two men.
Wei Xu felt it was novel, but perhaps because the author's writing style was delicate and gentle enough, he did not feel any disgust from beginning to end. When he saw the words "to be continued" at the end, he even felt a little unsatisfied and wanted to continue reading.
Wei Xu stuffed the magazine into his schoolbag, thinking that when he returned the magazine tomorrow, he could ask the female classmate where she bought it.
·
The next day is the last day of September, and the National Day holiday is about to begin.
Affected by this factor, even in key classes that gather students with excellent academic performance, there is an impetuous atmosphere during recess.
After the first get out of class, Wei Xu took the time to return the novel magazine to its owner, who was a long-haired girl named Wu Suxi sitting in the seat next to him.
Wei Xu had the impression that she had a very quiet personality and liked to lie on her seat and read when she had nothing to do. He didn't expect that she was reading this kind of book.
Wu Suxi seemed a little surprised to see him return the book, and muttered, "It's been a day, and I thought the teacher wouldn't return it to me."
Wei Xu didn't explain too much and asked the question that interested him: "Is this a story about two boys falling in love?"
The girl raised her eyebrows: "Class monitor, you know this too?"
"What?"
"That's it." Wu Suxi pointed to the "BL" label on the corner of the cover, probably thinking that he would recognize the subject matter by seeing the label.
Wei Xu immediately realized what the two letters represented. He asked in confusion, "Why do you like to read this kind of novel... about two men in love?"
"Yes, it looks good." The girl was a little shy at his straightforward question, her face slightly red as she said, "This is very normal. Even in real life, there are two men together."
"In reality... there are also?"
"Yeah, that's homosexuality."
Homosexuality.
Wei Xu widened his eyes slightly. Of course he knew this word.
But because there had never been such people around him, and he had never heard stories about such people from anyone, this was the first time he realized the meaning of this word so clearly.
For some reason, he suddenly began to care about this word which used to be very distant to him.
Seeing that he suddenly fell into deep thought, Wu Suxi called out, "Squad Leader?"
Wei Xu suddenly came back to his senses and changed the subject, saying, "Don't read novels in class anymore."
Wu Suxi lowered her head slightly in shame and replied "Oh" with a smile.
·
Wei Xu inexplicably felt like his heart was suspended all day, as if there was something he wanted to do but he didn't know what to do.
Since Wei You was not at home, the holiday had no special appeal to him, so he was sure that his restlessness did not come from the anticipation of the holiday.
But he really couldn't figure out the answer as to why.
It was not until after school that he went home carrying a heavy schoolbag and a bag of food bought from the market. When he was about to turn into the alley, the newsstand at the intersection in front of him suddenly came into his sight.
Wei Xu always knew there was a newsstand there, but he had never bought anything there.
At this moment, the small house of less than two square meters suddenly became clear and bright in his eyes.
When Wei Xu stopped to watch the film, he finally couldn't suppress the restlessness in his heart and walked towards the newsstand.
·
When Wei You returned to reality this time, in addition to bringing a laptop computer that he rarely used, he also spent 800 yuan to buy two iPhone 4 phones online.
Since this phone had been out of production for a long time, he searched for a while before finding a brand new, original high-quality model.
The mobile phone was bought for Wei Xu. In 2010, this phone had just been on the market and was very expensive. But now it only costs three or four hundred yuan, less than one tenth of the original price.
Wei You was really surprised when he first discovered the price difference, and thought that if he bought a few more and sold them there, he would become rich!
The thought flashed through his mind, and he quickly gave up the idea.
His supply channels are too strange, and he himself was an illegal immigrant in the past. If something goes wrong, he will have no way to defend himself if he is found out.
Anyway, he is not short of money, so he can just buy two mobile phones for his own use. There is no need to do such a tricky thing.
It takes two days for the phone to be delivered by express, and four months to be transferred to the game world.
So shortly after the winter vacation, when Wei You came back from a "business trip", Wei Xu received his own New Year's gift - a brand new black mobile phone.
"This phone is super expensive, right?" Wei Xu walked into the kitchen with the phone in his hand, his face showing an unconcealable joy but also a bit of uneasiness and anxiety.
He had heard from his classmates that although this mobile phone was easy to use, it cost several thousand yuan each, which was more expensive than a computer.
Wei You was cutting mushrooms. Hearing this, he turned around and asked, "Do you like it?"
"Yeah." Wei Xu nodded vigorously.
"I'm glad you like it. I bought one too." Because his hands were wet, Wei You didn't show him his phone. He said, "In the future, when you are at school or out playing, you can use your new phone to call me if you have anything. By the way, does your school allow cell phones?"
"No, if you find out, you will lose points."
"Then don't bring it." Wei You said, "If you really want to bring it, remember to turn off the silent mode on your phone and hide it well."
Wei Xu couldn't help but smile: "Thank you, brother."
Seeing him smiling so happily, Wei You felt very satisfied and thought that this mobile phone worth four hundred yuan was a great value.
However, this good mood lasted less than a week before he began to regret it.
Wei Xu, who had a new mobile phone, was obviously becoming a little addicted to it.
In the past, when there were no mobile phones, every time Wei You opened his room door, he was either reading a book or doing homework.
Now that he has a mobile phone, every time Wei You goes to his room to see him, the boy is either listening to music with headphones on or chatting on the Internet in front of the screen.
Wei You rarely felt the disappointment his parents felt when they saw him playing games all day long.
On the one hand, he comforted himself that it was winter vacation and there was nothing wrong in letting the children relax for a while.
On the other hand, he wondered if he shouldn't let a child of this age be exposed to such trendy things so early. If Wei Xu's grades were affected by this, he would be really guilty.
Although he was conflicted, Wei You couldn't bring himself to confiscate Wei Xu's phone and decided to wait until school started to see what happened.
If the other person still behaves like this after school starts, he will have to be a strict parent and confiscate his phone.
·
With the Internet, time seems to have accelerated a lot, and it’s the end of the year in the blink of an eye.
On New Year's Eve, the usually bustling Jingping Street became exceptionally quiet. Except for the firecracker and New Year's goods shops, most of the shops were closed. However, some alleys that were usually deserted became much more lively and cheerful at this time.
When Wei You came back from shopping, he found that every household had hung red lanterns, and the word "Fu" and couplets were posted on the door. The dark alley was suddenly decorated in a bright and beautiful way.
A group of children wearing cotton-padded jackets were running around in the alley, occasionally throwing firecrackers at the feet of passers-by, adding more "fireworks" to the alley.
Although the alley was bustling, the winter cold was real. Wei You walked upstairs quickly and only felt much warmer when he returned to his home where he had two air conditioners on.
When I walked into the house, Wei Xu, wearing a thick white sweater, was sticking the word "Fu" on the bathroom door with double-sided tape.
Wei You bought too many Chinese characters for "Fu" (meaning "Fu"), so in order to avoid wasting them, Wei Xu pasted big red ones on every door, even the refrigerator door.
"That's enough. Don't make it look like a wedding room." Wei You put the newly bought ingredients in the kitchen, put on an apron, and called Wei Xu, "Come on, make dumplings."
“Here I come.”
It started to snow lightly in the afternoon, and by the evening the snow had become heavier, with large flakes falling and forming a thick layer on the balcony railings.
While preparing the New Year's Eve dinner, Wei You took some time out to go out and enjoy the snow scenery for a while, but because he couldn't stand the biting cold wind, he soon returned to the bedroom.
After all, it was New Year's Eve, and Wei Xu couldn't even not go home for the New Year's Eve dinner.
After a discussion, the two decided that Wei Xu would have a meal at Wei You's house around four o'clock in the afternoon, and then go back to check on the situation in the evening. If Wei Shaodong was at home, he would have dinner with him and stay at his house for one night. If he was not at home, he would still stay at Wei You's house.
Even though there were only two people eating, there was quite a bit of food on the table.
The 1.5-meter-long mahogany table was filled with delicious dishes. The plates were so crowded that there was almost no room for even the bowls.
When he was halfway through his meal, Wei Xu's phone suddenly rang with a QQ notification.
Wei You saw him open the dialog box and reply with a sentence, and then the reminder sound never stopped, "beep beep" sounding non-stop.
Wei You couldn't help but tease: "Squad leader, you are very busy with official duties. So many people want to chat with you."
Wei Xu looked up at him and said, "No, just a classmate."
"Male or female classmates?"
"Female classmate."
"Um?"
"It's not what you think," Wei Xu explained quickly, "I'm just an ordinary classmate. I need your help."
Wei Xu put his phone on silent mode and opened the chat room with Wu Suxi, who was excitedly recommending him an online novel.
"Come to think of it, I haven't added your QQ number yet?" Wei You thought back and found that Wei Xu always contacted him by calling directly.
"Well, do you want to add one?"
"Add one," Wei You took out his cell phone, "I have to supervise you to get offline."
Although he spoke righteously, Wei You was actually curious about the children's friendship situations.

Wei You nicknamed Wei Xu "guazai", and while drinking his soup, he opened the child's QQ space to see how many friends the boy had.
As soon as I opened the space, I saw a post that the other person had posted last night: [Guazi: Liking or not liking, loving or not loving, and being able to be together are actually three different things.]
Wei You choked on a mouthful of soup.
The author has something to say: Guazi Diary:

My brother looked surprised and I was shocked too. How could I speak to him like that?
But if it happens again, I'm afraid I still won't be able to control myself.
I don't want anyone else around him, that teacher Ma,
