Chapter 42: Naturally Cute
The meeting with Ding Baizhou was set in a drink shop on Nanpu Street. Aunt Xu took Yan Wanqiu alone to see Ding Baizhou, while Yan Kongshan and I were watching from a distance on another table.
The business in the drink shop was pretty good, mostly girls or couples. We sat by the window and ordered a drink each. Had it not been for Yan Kongshan had been paying attention to the movements of Yan Wanqiu's table, it looked like we were dating.
With an outdoor temperature of more than 30 degrees, the store is blowing with air-conditioning, and drinking a sip of cold Xianningle, swelling fluids and quenching thirst, refreshing to my heart.
"I heard that our school's military training was very difficult. How did you go back then?" I saw Yan Kongshan was so nervous, so I wanted to ease the atmosphere.
However, Yan Kongshan didn't seem to hear me. He still stared at Ding Baizhou and the others not far away without blinking.
I was a little afraid that he suddenly rushed to beat Ding Baizhou, although I can't see the mood value on his head, but I dare to pack the ticket. His head must be red now, especially red.
The enmity between him and Ding Baizhou will never be resolved. Yan Xinyu is impossible to live, and even more impossible to die.
"Ah Shan?"
"...Sorry." Yan Kongshan reacted and looked back, "What did you just say? I didn't hear it clearly."
Didn't you hear clearly, you weren't listening at all.
I sighed inwardly and asked again: "I heard that the military training in our school is very hard, really?"
"Military training?" Yan Kongshan thought for a while, looked at me with a "weighing" look, "It varies from person to person, you will probably be stripped of your skin."
Yan Kongshan is not a big talker, he said so, it must be hell-level harshness.
I took a sigh of relief and "hissed" in fear, frightened for the upcoming military training career.
Yan Kongshan continued: "There is a Sichuan restaurant near the South Campus. I don’t know if it is still open these years after graduation, but it has been open for many years before I enrolled. It is an old restaurant. If you can’t get used to the canteen You can order the food from his home. It tastes good and the price is cheap."
I nodded and wrote down his words one by one.
"You should all be air-conditioned in your dormitory now." He went to see Yan Wanqiu and the others again, "We weren't there yet, it was very hot..."
I couldn't help but glance over. The three of them are all quite high and they seem to be in a good mood. Ding Baizhou bought a lot of toys and clothes for Yan Wanqiu, and they are showing them one by one.
I retracted my gaze and looked at Yan Kongshan again. It was not that I couldn't understand his feelings.
A child who has been raised for five years is so close to his enemy, everyone will care about the uncomfortable.
Thinking about it this way, my previous proposal at the hospital was particularly idealistic. It seemed to be for his sake and for Yan Wanqiu's sake, but in fact I didn't take the two people's feelings into consideration.
"What kind of person is Qiuqiu's mother?"
Yan Kongshan was startled and turned around: "Why mention her suddenly?"
Taking a sip of the drink in front of me, I truthfully said: "Because I want to know you better."
Yan Xinyu is an important part of the life of the Yan family's uncle and nephew. I am curious about what kind of woman raised Yan Kongshan and gave birth to Yan Wanqiu.
"My sister..." He thought a little and gave a rather subtle evaluation, "It's very strong. This is what others have said of her."
I'm not sure if this is a compliment, he sounds a little helpless and a little cold.
"Do you want to be strong?"
"In today's society, this word means thorny, stubborn, and stronger than a man in every way. She doesn't allow anyone to look down upon her, let alone feel that she needs to live by a man." Yan Kongshan grinned, "At first Ding Baizhou pursued her. She said that she was independent and assertive, and it was the other half she was looking for. My sister believed it. When they broke up, Ding Baizhou again said that she was too strong and assertive, making him a man."
So in order to show his masculinity, he went to rely on other women to eat soft food?
In order to cover up his "scum", Ding Baizhou really dared to say anything.
"I didn't know that they broke up until Ding Baizhou went abroad, and at that time my sister was pregnant with Qiuqiu."
Yan Kongshan ordered a glass of mint sparkling water. As time passed, plump drops of water formed on the outer wall of the glass. With a light touch of his index finger, the drops of water slipped off and wet his fingers.
"I don't recommend that she give birth to a child. In general, it is too exhausting and too hard. I don't want her to sacrifice herself to achieve another life. But she said that she wants to have a baby, but she wants to have a baby. It has nothing to do with Ding Baizhou or me. "Speaking of this, Yan Kongshan laughed again, but with a helpless smile, "Look, is she very strong?"
There were people coming and going on the street, and many girls were stunned when they saw Yan Kongshan and I were sitting at a table. They might also wonder why the two men would drink drinks together.
People have a natural stereotype of gender, thinking that men should and shouldn't, women should and shouldn't.
"I rarely hear people say that men should be strong." I said, "It seems that men are born to be strong and women are born to be weak. But it is not so, I am not strong, and Sun Rui is not weak."
Weakness should not be the main trait of women, it should not be their label, and strength should not be men's.
"Because those who evaluate her like this, they all want her to be weak." Yan Kongshan laughed at himself, "Even I can't avoid being vulgar sometimes. I hope she can rely on me more and trust me more."
The older sister worked so hard, and it would be too bad to be a younger brother.
I don't think Yan Kongshan is unconventional, he is just a normal brother who loves his sister.
"Everyone has each person's personality and lifestyle, as long as you know what you are doing." I considered the words and said seriously, "I think my sister is not better than men everywhere, but she is already strong. . She is a born strong."
Yan Kongshan raised his eyebrows slightly when he heard the words, showing an expression that seemed like a smile.
I don't know what I said that touched him, but his mood did improve. This is good.
"how about you?"
"What?" I was a little puzzled.
"Are you so cute by nature?"
The topic was still so serious just now, and he suddenly came so that I was unprepared, shocked and at a loss, and a little shy.
I lowered my head and bit the straw, and said vaguely, "It should be."
The little sparrow in my heart was so boasted that it floated while walking.
I don't actually think I'm cute, but he does what he says.
As long as I don't say I am young, anything else will do.
After sitting for more than an hour, Yan Kongshan couldn't sit down a bit, and Ding Baizhou finally had new movements.
Ding Baizhou walked straight away with large and small packages of gifts, while Aunt Xu came to us with Yan Wanqiu.
"Ah Shan, I want to stay at my aunt's house for two days." Yan Wanqiu sat on Yan Kongshan and drank the sparkling water in front of him. After taking a drink, his face wrinkled and swallowed, and then pushed the cup. Those who are far away will never touch it again.
Yan Kongshan looked at Aunt Xu: "Where is Ding Baizhou?"
"He sent us." She didn't mean to hide, "He wants to get along with Qiuqiu for two more days."
She said that she would stay at her house for two days, but it was actually more convenient for Ding Baizhou and Yan Wanqiu to meet.
Yan Kongshan's jaw was tight and his face was not very good.
He bowed his head and asked Yan Wanqiu: "Do you want to continue playing with him?"
Yan Wanqiu raised his head, without any force on his face, and replied crisply, "Yes."
Yan Kongshan frowned, and he could see that he was engaged in a fierce ideological struggle. After a while, he made a concession: "Go back and get two clothes first."
Aunt Xu said: "No, I have some over there, and Ding Baizhou also bought a lot. You can wash it today and wear it tomorrow."
Yan Kongshan fell silent and said nothing.
"Mianmian, what does your cup taste like?"
I took out the straw and let Yan Wanqiu drink directly from the cup.
She tasted it and commented: "Yours is also weird, but it tastes better than Ah Shan's."
About five minutes later, Ding Baizhou's car arrived. Yan Wanqiu waved goodbye to us and happily rode away in the car.
I glanced at Yan Kongshan, a little worried about him: "Shall we go too?"
Yan Kongshan called the waiter to pay for the bill, and found that the bill had been bought by Ding Baizhou, and his face instantly worsened.
He took out a paper currency and threw it on the table, got up and left without looking back, unwilling to accept any kindness from Ding Baizhou.
I had no time to explain to the astonished waiter, and hurriedly ran after Yan Kongshan.
Fortunately, he did not go very quickly, and I caught up with him outside the door.
He walked ahead, and I followed behind. When he got to the parking lot, he was about to get in the car. He suddenly seemed to realize something and turned around hurriedly. He was a little startled to see me well behind him.
"...I'm sorry," he said.
"It's okay." I smiled at him.
Back home, Yan Kongshan said that he was a little tired, and went upstairs to rest.
I know he just wants to be alone to sort out his mood, so he doesn't bother him with it.
I made some simple fried noodles in the evening, but they didn’t look good, but the taste was okay. Seeing Yan Kongshan's delay in coming down, I wanted to go upstairs and call him.
The curtains are drawn in the room, it looks very dark, and the air-conditioning is very strong.
Yan Kongshan was curled up on the bed with the quilt covering his head.
"Ah Shan, get up for dinner." I sat next to him and pulled the quilt gently.
He was torn off the quilt by me, with a bit of discomfort of being disturbed, he grabbed my waist and dragged me towards him.
"Ah Shan!" I exclaimed, not sure if he woke up, or did not wake up unconsciously.
He buried his face in my abdomen, his arms tightened, and he didn't know whether he was going to suffocate himself or strangle me.
I felt like I was out of breath, and just about to stop speaking, his embrace gradually loosened, but he still buried his face and saw no one.
"I'm in a bad mood."
See it.
His voice was dull: "In a bad mood, what should I do as a boyfriend?"
It looks like a big dog clinging to people. Thinking about this, I raised my hand and touched his head. The hair is not soft, hard, and a bit pierced.
"Do you want to eat if I made noodles?" I laughed.
He tightened his arm to express his dissatisfaction.
I hurriedly changed my words: "No, just kidding! Do you look up, how can I make you happy if you don't look up?"
Yan Kongshan moved, half propped up.
It may have been touched by me just now, or he may have been asleep, his hair is a bit messy.
He inadvertently copied his hair, showing handsome facial features at me, with a lazy eyebrows.
"Do I have a bonus this time?" The indoor light was dim, and I smiled and bent down and kissed his lips gently.
After a long while, Yan Kongshan let out a prolonged "um" from his throat, like an answer, but also like a sigh.
