falling grass in pairs

A week later, at 08:30 in the morning Beijing time, a flight bound for another city had already started broadcasting.In the hall where people come and go, there is a sense of fatigue or expectation in a hurry.

Zheng Yichi was holding a trolley case and was at the end of the consignment team. He looked back from time to time and waved to Jiang Cheng and Yan Ze who were standing not far away.

The queue lined up quickly, and after ten minutes or so, Zheng Yichi walked towards them with only his shoulders on his back.

"Is it all done? How long until boarding?"

"Boarding in half an hour, I have to go in now." Zheng Yichi went over and hugged Yan Ze, then looked at Jiangcheng next to him, nodded, and instructed, "Be nice to him."

"Yes." Jiang Cheng also nodded and smiled.

"I'm leaving, take care of yourself." Zheng Yichi smiled, weighed the backpack on his back, and said goodbye to the two.

"Are you really not going to call my brother again?"

"I already called him yesterday, and he said he won't come today..." Zheng Yichi stopped talking, and when he saw a person standing at the security gate not far away, he slowed down, "Yes."

Yan Ze followed his gaze and looked over.Yan Xianglin looked tired, and stood not far away with his hands in his pockets. When he saw them, he nodded to show that he saw them, and stood there steadfastly waiting for them to walk over.

"Go, we'll take you here." Yan Ze couldn't help but hugged him again, "waiting for your good news. It doesn't matter if you come back or not."

Zheng Yichi patted Yan Ze on the back, glanced at him again, turned around and walked towards Yan Xianglin without saying anything.

The two are separated by a lot of people coming and going, but they can easily see each other at a glance.During this period of time, it is rare that there is no avoidance, no retreat, and no unnaturalness.

Yan Ze leaned against Jiang Cheng, looked at Zheng Yichi who was getting further away, and at the two people who were getting closer, he unconsciously took Jiang Cheng's hand, and interlocked his fingers.

Jiang Cheng raised his eyebrows, and looked down at the two's interlocking hands in surprise.

You know, in the past, Yan Ze always avoided any explicit performance with him in public, but now he holds his hand indifferently.

"Uncomfortable?" he asked.

Yan Ze shook his head: "I can't say it, but I'm very emotional. I think they are both very complicated, unlike me who think about things straightforwardly, whether it's emotional or otherwise. How much better is it simple?"

Jiang Cheng laughed, and glanced at the two people who were talking not far away with a smile in his eyes.With his back to them, Zheng Yichi couldn't see his expression clearly, but he seemed to be talking calmly with his head up.The expression on Yan Xianglin's face was also very calm, even if he was a little tired, he was also talking to Zheng Yichi, nodding his head from time to time.

"It's really good. So I should be content." Jiang Cheng's rare seriousness made Yan Ze feel embarrassed, Jiang Cheng just smiled, "Let's go, we are here to watch them, your brother is not at ease."

Yan Ze was dragged into the car by Jiang Cheng all the way, neither of them let go.

Until he put on his seat belt, Yan Ze was still full of thoughts: "Tell me, what are Xiaochi and my brother thinking? I can't figure out any of their thoughts. By the way, send me back later, my brother said Take me home this afternoon."

"That's what he said?" Jiang Cheng turned sideways and helped Yan Ze, who hadn't found the socket for a long time, put on his seat belt.

"Yeah, who knows what's going on." Yan Ze said indifferently, and suddenly saw Jiang Cheng's thoughtful gaze and malicious smile, and immediately became a little nervous, "What kind of expression is that on your face? What kind of bad water is brewing?"

"I really envy you to watch a good show." Jiang Cheng shook his head.

"What are you talking about?" Yan Ze was at a loss.

"You'll find out later."

The two drove back to the city center and had a hard meal at a good Shanbei restaurant near Yan Ze's house.

Jiang Cheng enjoyed the meal, but Yan Ze was still full of melancholy, and asked a lot of questions such as will Xiaochi come back, will my brother and the others reconcile, what do they think, and I will analyze and analyze for you and so on. .

At the end of the meal, Yan Ze had already forgotten what Jiang Cheng said to him when he got in the car, so how could he still have the slightest curiosity?

Because they got off the plane in the morning and got up early, the two of them stayed up late last night, so Yan Ze dozed off after lunch.Of course, Jiang Cheng sent him back home very conscientiously. He also took off his shoes and socks, covered him with a quilt, and sat on the edge of the bed to watch Yan Ze for a while.

Yan Ze fell into a dark sleep almost as soon as he got to the bed, sleeping with his mouth half-opened so he didn't know what day or night it was. Even when someone pinched his chin and took advantage of the opportunity to kiss him for a while, he didn't feel it, turned over and continued to sleep.

Jiang Cheng really had nothing to do with him, so he stretched out his hand and hung his nose for a while: "You."

In a daze, Yan Ze didn't know how long he had slept, as if he heard the sound of the door opening, someone calling, and the cooking business, and then he was woken up by the familiar smell.

Yan Xianglin was making potato curry for him, which was Yan Ze's favorite food when he was a child.When the two lived together, he always pestered Yan Xianglin to cook for him.

At this time, Yan Xianglin was like any day in the past so many years, wearing a simple plaid apron, standing skillfully and casually in the kitchen making curry potatoes.Such an atmosphere, the afternoon sun is just right, and the warmth on the quilt makes Yan Ze lose his time for a moment, and he can't tell whether it is many years ago or now.

He walked over barefoot: "Brother?"

"Are you awake?" Yan Xianglin looked back at him, put some salt in it, "Are you hungry?"

Yan Ze glanced at his watch suspiciously: "It's two o'clock in the afternoon, brother, which meal did you cook? I ate outside, but you haven't eaten yet?"

"I didn't eat it, I will eat it tonight." Yan Xianglin said.

Yan Ze was a little puzzled, walked over to have a look, and found that there was more than one dish on the counter, all of which were his favorites, and the portion was large: "So much? Can we finish it at night?"

"You can eat it tomorrow if you can't finish it." Yan Xianglin said, turn off the fire, start the pot, put all the dishes on the plate, and then cover them with plastic wrap one by one.

Because Yan Xianglin was really abnormal, Yan Ze couldn't turn the corner, so he asked cautiously, "Brother, are you okay?"

Yan Xianglin took off his apron, wiped his hands and threw it into the cabinet: "Come on, say that I will accompany my brother home today. Now that I wake up, go wash my face. I will go downstairs and drive."

After Yan Ze washed his face and changed his clothes, he went to the underground parking lot, and sure enough, he saw that Yan Xianglin was already waiting there.

At first, he just thought that his brother might have been greatly stimulated by Xiaochi's incident, so it was understandable that there were some anomalies.But on the way, he found that Yan Xianglin was chatting with him about the usual topics as usual, without any unnaturalness or distraction, which made him a little confused again.

When they arrived at home, Yan's father and Yan's mother had been waiting for a long time. When the two sons came together, they both smiled and squinted their eyes. As soon as the two of them entered the door, they were pulled to sit on the sofa. They all relaxed and easy-going because of this long-lost warmth, and forgot about Yan Xianglin's abnormality on the road.

Since Yan Xianglin came out that day, the two sides had been in a stalemate for a while, and then except for the meeting and conversation between Yan Xianglin and Yan's father, since then, the family has never mentioned Yan Xianglin's sexual orientation and partner as if this incident had never happened.

But today, Yan's mother reckoned that two months had passed, and the family of four chatted very well, so she put an apple in Yan Xianglin's hand and said tentatively: "A few days ago , I went out with your Aunt Hong. Do you remember her? I always hugged you when I was a child."

Yan Xianglin said with a smile: "Of course I remember, even every year during the festival, I will give me the biggest red envelope, which is more than the two of you. How is she now, everything is fine?"

"It's all good, everything is good. Your aunt Hong is a woman who knows how to live. She never wronged herself. Since she remarried, she gave birth to another child for her husband. It's a girl, and she gets along well with her ex-husband's child. We came out that day, and I saw that the child really has your Aunt Hong's genes, and she is beautiful and temperamental." Yan's mother had a yearning look on her face as she spoke, and she looked at Yan Xianglin calmly, "That girl is also 21 this year. , I’m going to graduate from university. I heard from your aunt Hong that she plans to stay here to work in the future. I said that’s not a bad idea. My son has been working for several years. I can meet up tomorrow and tell her about the job. business."

These words are not revealing and logical, but let alone Yan Xianglin, even Yan Ze, who is sitting beside him, can hear the meaning of these words, and can't help being a little embarrassed: "Mom, what are you talking about..."

While talking, he still didn't forget to glance to the side, seeing that his father's expression was calm and composed, he drank a sip of tea and didn't comment.

Yan Ze originally wanted to smooth things over and get this matter over with a tai chi, but he didn't want Yan Xianglin to be silent for a moment, and then stuffed the apple into his hand.

Then he got up, knelt down in front of Yan's father and Yan's mother, and suddenly kowtowed.

Everything happened too fast, this situation only happened on the day Yan Xianglin came out, Yan Ze stood up immediately, staring at his brother, holding an apple in his hand, looking a bit at a loss.

Yan's mother straightened her back, Yan's father also took a look, and put down the cup in his hand.

"Dad, Mom, I'm sorry. I can't do the thing I promised before. I can't marry a woman. I'm sorry." He said sorry twice in a row, and the words were sincere, even Yan Ze could hear it. His tone and attitude were completely different once.

"About my sexual orientation, I know it's hard for you to accept it for a while. So until you really accept it, I will not bring people into my home, nor will I officially live with anyone. You can take it as, I am a celibate But it is really impossible for me to marry a woman. I am an adult, and I am an adult who has experienced society and human affairs. I already know how to be responsible for myself and others." Yan Xianglin took a deep breath In one breath, I stopped looking at my parents' expressions, "So this is the only thing I can't do, and I won't try to do it again. I hope you understand me."
