The daily routine of being teased by a scholar

As soon as Fang Mian stopped the car in the parking space, the door of the back seat was opened with a "snap".

A small figure jumped out of the car, and then rushed towards Cai Zhan quickly.

Cai Zhan was knocked back by the little girl, and after taking a breath, he bent down and hugged the little girl.

In winter, the underground garage was cold, and Fang Mian sneezed as soon as he got out of the car.But before he had time to say a few words, he saw the picture of the girl being hugged by Cai Zhan in front of him, and was stunned.

"Xiaoxue! Come down!" Fang Mian frowned quickly, "How old are you going to let Uncle Cai hug you?"

"Five years old!" The little girl wrapped her fleshy arms around Cai Zhan's neck, and the little girl was not afraid of Fang Mian at all, and called out to Cai Zhan crisply and cheerfully.

"Hey, I know you're five years old." Cai Zhan's ears hurt a little from her yelling, but he still smiled and weighed the girl in his arms, not letting go.

After a pause, the other party smiled softly: "Stop shouting, let me hug you for a while, it's okay."

Fang Mian was a little helpless, and turned his gaze to Xia Xiaoyu who had just got off the co-pilot.Xia Xiaoyu was wearing a skirt and high heels, and got out of the car a little slowly.

After she and Fang Mian looked at each other, they also shrugged helplessly.These two obviously couldn't control their naughty child, so they could only let her cling to Cai Zhan.

Since buying a house in the south a few years ago, Cai Zhan and Xu Huaiyang basically lived in the south in the second half of every year due to work reasons.When winter is over and spring comes, I will return to the old house in my hometown.Xu Huaiyang complained about it several times, living like a swallow.

Xu Huaiyang opened a studio here. After June every year, the studio is very busy. This year's work even dragged on until the end of the new year. It was a little relieved in these two days.

Fang Mian originally wanted to take Xia Xiaoyu and her daughter out to have fun years ago. At first, she didn't plan where to go, but when she heard that Xu Huaiyang and Xu Huaiyang were still here, she immediately ran here to eat and eat. Drink, and take another trip by the way.

Cai Zhan carried Fang Xiaoxue to the elevator entrance and put it down. The little girl ran to Fang Mian's side in a lively manner, and wanted to help Fang Mian carry things.Cai Zhan looked at the pile of boxes in Fang Mian's hand, and smiled helplessly.

"It's all here, and you still bring something?" He clicked his tongue and asked half-jokingly.

"Bring a piece of wool, have you ever seen someone bring a lunch box to drop by?" Fang Mian lifted a bag, "Xu Huaiyang sent me a WeChat message in the middle of the night last night, insisting that I go to the store near our school to buy siu mai and stuffing Biscuits, I want to miss the taste of the past. I lined up to buy them for him in the morning! Is it easy to bring them all the way!"

"I want you to get up early and practice in the morning, don't be full of complaints." Xia Xiaoyu smiled beside her, and poked Fang Mian lightly.

Cai Zhan looked at the two of them, hooked the corners of his mouth, and said nothing.

When the elevator arrived, three adults and one child walked in together.After Cai Zhan pressed the button, he had time to look at the family in front of him.

Fang Mian hasn't changed since high school, but Xia Xiaoyu is much more capable and generous than when we first met.The two's precious daughter, Fang Xiaoxue, was bouncing around beside her, not feeling safe.The little girl couldn't stop laughing, her eyes and nose looked exactly like her mother's.

The ceiling light of the elevator was on, and when Cai Zhan stood under the light and looked at them, he suddenly realized that time passed in a blink of an eye.

In the blink of an eye, Fang Xiaoxue was five years old, but in Cai Zhan's memory, Fang Xiaoxue was still that little baby in her infancy.And Fang Mian's appearance in the hospital when he was excited to name the little girl also came to mind.

... But when Xia Xiaoyu knew her daughter's name, it was a miracle that she didn't hit Fang Mian.

When the elevator arrived, Cai Zhan sighed while taking out the key to open the door.

"You two look at Xiaoxue for a while, don't let her make too much trouble. There are a lot of people in the family today. If you are scared by big black and white, it is easy to bite and scratch people." Cai Zhan said.

"Don't worry, my girl is quite skinny." Fang Mian looked at Fang Xiaoxue, who was full of energy, "It will be fine if she doesn't bite your cat."

"Hey, all right." Cai Zhan smiled and opened the door.

Xu Huaiyang prefers duplexes, so the ones here also bought duplexes.As soon as the door was opened, two cats ran out from nowhere.The black cat dexterously climbed up the glass cabinet at the door, jumping and wanting to hang on Cai Zhan.

While looking for slippers for a few people, Cai Zhan drove the two cats away. After a long time of soothing work, the two cats, one black and one white, reluctantly ran to the side.

"Where's Xu Huaiyang?" Xia Xiaoyu put on her shoes, walked two steps into the living room, and asked.

"He hasn't gotten up yet," Cai Zhan looked up at the door of the bedroom upstairs, "He slept too late last night, and he probably needs to sleep for another hour."

Fang Mian followed his gaze and looked upstairs, narrowing her eyes meaningfully: "I haven't gotten up yet..."

"Damn, why does it sound wrong to you?" Cai Zhan was a little helpless, sitting on the sofa, "A few children under his command were disobedient, and the manuscript was submitted late, and the script was revised all night last night. "

"It's really not you, Emperor Yang of Sui?" Fang Mian narrowed her eyes.

Cai Zhan was too lazy to click his tongue: "Did Xia Xiaoyu test your IQ during the premarital examination?"

Fang Mian was choked up enough, and it took a long time before he could hold back a sentence: "Your mouth has been spoiled by Xu Huaiyang."

"Thank you." Cai Zhan narrowed his eyes and smiled.

When it was time to eat lunch, Xu Huaiyang finally woke up.He struggled for a long time before sitting up from the bed, and left the bedroom half dead after washing.As soon as he opened the door, he was immediately taken aback by the people in the living room.

After standing upstairs for half a minute, I realized that today is the day when Fang Mian's family came to play.

Fang Xiaoxue was lying on Cai Zhan's back, giggling and watching cartoons on Cai Zhan's phone.Cai Zhan had a gentle face, watching with her, while making the little girl laugh.

When Xu Huaiyang came downstairs, he saw this rather harmonious scene of communication without age difference. He felt a little happy for a moment, clicked his tongue and walked over.

"Brother Huaiyang!" Fang Xiaoxue shouted when she saw Xu Huaiyang.

"Xiaoxue is fine too, she's grown taller again." Xu Huaiyang smiled and rubbed Fang Xiaoxue's hair.

"Are you awake?" Cai Zhan looked up at him, moved to the other side of the sofa to make room, "It's been a long sleep, if you're still sleepy, go back to sleep."

"Are you caring about me or are you hurting me? It's almost time for me to sleep." Xu Huaiyang sat next to Cai Zhan, then turned his head and asked Fang Mian, "How long have you two been here and you still don't wake me up? "

"Not long." Fang Mian looked at the phone and yawned. "That is, wait until you sleep for two hours."

"Damn." Xu Huaiyang was amused, and looked up at his watch, "Then wait a little longer, and go to eat together when everyone is together."

When these words came out, several people were stunned. After a few seconds, Cai Zhan realized something and cast a suspicious look at Xu Huaiyang.

"That's what you think," Xu Huaiyang shrugged helplessly, "I just saw the text message, Zhu Shen and the others have already got off the highway..."

"Cut first and play later." Cai Zhan was also helpless.

The most terrible thing about Li Jianxia and Zhu Shen is that they never seem to think about things.

This sudden trip to someone else's house was nothing. In the year the two graduated from university, it was said that they only spent one night discussing and making a final decision. On the third day of graduation, the two went to Yunnan to plant flowers as if they had eloped.

Then go for three years.

Planting flowers, doing business, opening a bar... Li Jianxia has a lot of contact with Xu Huaiyang, and has also told him a little about himself in the past few years.Xu Huaiyang wanted to ask Li Jianxia several times if he could write his story, but he always felt that the experience of the two of them was a bit magical, and it was like another book when told.

...But it may also be the one from CCTV's Seven Rich Books.

For the sake of quietness, this house is not very close to the city center.Get off the expressway to Xu Huaiyang's house, which is 5 minutes away.

Five minutes later, Li Jianxia and Zhu Shen also arrived.The two of them stayed in the southwest region with more than one color number. Xu Huaiyang was a bit pity. Over the years, he watched the white and clean art teenagers become the hosts of the "Getting Rich" column.

Li Jianxia has been a foodie since high school. This time he came here and brought a lot of flower cakes and specialties.Xu Huaiyang took a flower cake and ate it. It was sweet but not greasy.

"What are you going to eat later? Hot pot?" Xu Huaiyang took two mouthfuls of flower cakes and felt that they were a bit too sweet, so he stuffed the remaining half into Cai Zhan's mouth.

Fang Mian leaned on the sofa, a little speechless: "I have been here for so many years, as long as there is a dinner with Xu Huaiyang, eight out of ten times it is hot pot."

"I don't care," Li Jianxia grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the fruit plate, "It's fine if you have something to eat."

After discussing for a long time, there was no result. They simply drove the car and went straight to Haidilao.

Sitting around Haidilao's table, Xu Huaiyang was in a daze. It seemed that he had seen this picture of everyone sitting around the hot pot countless times.

At the age of 17, it is the beginning of all stories.That year was the freeze frame of the best time.Up to now, more than ten years have passed, but fortunately, everyone has lived a life that satisfies them.

"Drink something?" Fang Mian opened a bottle of beer and put it in front of Xu Huaiyang.

"Drink." Xu Huaiyang narrowed his eyes and said with a smile.

Cai Zhan watched from the side, clicked his tongue, and made a "one" gesture to Xu Huaiyang.Xu Huaiyang understood, and nodded seriously.

More than ten years have passed, and the only thing that hasn't changed is probably Xu Huaiyang's drinking capacity.Until now, he is still at the level of pouring liquor in one gulp and two bottles of beer. Sometimes he has to comfort himself, as a literati, just drink some tea.

Fang Xiaoxue sat next to Xia Xiaoyu, talking non-stop while eating.Xu Huaiyang took a sip of his wine, feeling a little bit lost.

There is really a reason for the girl to follow her father. The little girl's conversational level is no worse than Fang Mian's. I don't know how she will grow up.

The winter in the south is humid and cold, but the air conditioner in the hot pot restaurant is fully turned on, and the steam from the hot pot is steamed again, making it warm and comfortable.Xu Huaiyang looked at the steam and sighed contentedly.

This kind of full sense of security, during the most difficult period of his youth, before he met Cai Zhan, he didn't even dare to think about it, and he didn't even dare to have extravagant hopes.

Xu Huaiyang is always afraid of not seeing the future, and therefore, every step is as careful and cautious as possible.After meeting Cai Zhan, he finally understood that some things cannot be seen by calculation and estimation.

Just like this future today, who would have thought of them back then?

At the lively dinner table, a group of grown-up teenagers gathered together, laughing and discussing the present, and talking nonsense about the embarrassing things in the past.At that moment, they seemed to have returned to those years in high school, and everything brought by time flowed back to the past intact.Xu Huaiyang closed his eyes, as if he could still see the petals of cherry blossoms in the window of the piano room, floating everywhere with the wind.

"When Huaiyang goes back next year, let's go to the school to see it together." Li Jianxia said, "Except for the summer vacation of freshman year, I haven't gone back to see it yet."

"I've been back," Xu Huaiyang smiled, and lowered his head to stir the sesame paste in the bowl. "Our Chinese teacher, Mrs. Jin, seems to have retired the year we graduated. Old Liu is probably going to retire soon. I don't know if I will go back now." Can I still see you?"

"At that time, I felt that the teachers were so fierce," Xia Xiaoyu also sighed, "Master Miejue and our math teacher always dragged each other after school. At that time, the math teacher had a nickname..."

"Tuotang Li Tianwang." Fang Mian laughed and continued.

Xu Huaiyang squinted his eyes, looked at the group of people on the table, and suddenly felt inexplicably relaxed.

Everyone's youth is a book, and the story is more exciting than any film and television drama.If one day, he hopes to write the stories of this group of people.While you still have the mood to talk about it, use words to retain the most energetic time.

It was unknown who took the wrong wine, and when he was about to finish his meal, Xu Huaiyang realized that the wine bottle in his hand was empty.When I came back to my senses, I realized that there were already five wine bottles beside me.

Unable to tell whether it was the alcohol coming up or the air conditioner turned on too warmly, Xu Huaiyang rubbed his temples, the heat from the hot pot made him feel a little dizzy and had a headache.

He closed his eyes, simply sighed, and buried himself in Cai Zhan's arms.

"Drink too much?" Cai Zhan looked down at him and clicked his tongue lightly.

Two seconds later, Cai Zhan also found the pile of wine bottles: "You drink too much, don't you drink too much?"

Xu Huaiyang frowned, his face was slightly reddened by the alcohol.Cai Zhan sighed, brushed Xu Huaiyang's hair, lowered his head and kissed him.

Fang Mian, who was sitting across from her, happened to see this scene, and twitched the corners of her lips in a hiss.

"Be careful, you two, there are still minors here." Li Jianxia also looked at Cai Zhan, pointed at Fang Xiaoxue with a smile.

I don't know if Xiaoxue saw the scene just now, but when she heard someone mention it, she quickly raised her head and pouted.

"Xiaoxue is going to marry Uncle Cai when she grows up!" the little girl yelled in a crisp voice, as if she was taking an oath, quite loudly.

Fang Mian just took a sip of wine and went in, and almost choked: "Don't talk nonsense, girl, your brother Huaiyang knows enough to tell you."

The people at one table had fun for a long time.

After laughing for a while, Cai Zhan suddenly felt something was wrong: "Xiaoxue, why is Brother Huaiyang an elder brother and I am an uncle?"

Fang Xiaoxue thought for a while: "Because Brother Huaiyang is cute..."

Everyone laughed even more.

Coming out of the restaurant, the cold air rushed in instantly.Xu Huaiyang just dozed off for a while, and now he is almost able to sober up.

He looked up at the sky, there were no stars and no snow.There is no snow in winter in the south, and the nights are like lonely winter nights.

Li Jianxia also looked up: "Are you going to put flowers in a while?"

"There should be no fireworks and firecrackers in this period of time, and it will be in two days." Cai Zhan said.

"It's really good here. We still ban burning and burning. We haven't let flowers go since the second and third year of high school..." Fang Mian sighed.

Li Jianxia looked at several people, suddenly couldn't hold back, and laughed twice.

"What's wrong?" Zhu Shen turned to look at him.

Li Jianxia shook his head: "No, I just remembered my sophomore year in high school. We didn't know each other for long at that time, and we went to secretly put flowers on New Year's Eve."

Zhu Shen thought for a while: "Yes, I was banned at that time, and I was almost caught. It was even published in the newspaper the next day, but I didn't find out who set it up in the end."

"You two really know how to play, convinced." Fang Mian clicked her tongue and gave a thumbs up.

Looking at the two of them, Cai Zhan suddenly felt as if he had been poked into a memory deep in his mind.

——In the winter of that year, two teenagers put the messy dumplings into the pot, leaned against the window, watched the unowned fireworks outside the window, and secretly lamented the courage of the flower-discharging people.

——The firework that I don’t know who set it off was the first and last firework of that night.It boldly blasts the sky full of colors in the night sky, and then quietly dissipates after the splendor, disappearing as if it had never appeared before.

He thought it was enough to bloom.

And until now, he didn't know that the bloom that broke the restriction could leave such a beautiful color in the memory.

"Go and put flowers." Cai Zhan said.

The conversation of several people had already changed the topic, and Cai Zhan, who had been silent all this time, suddenly interrupted, which made them a little surprised.

"Look around, there is always something for sale." Cai Zhan said with a smile.

……

By the river, five figures under the night carefully stepped on the cobblestones, and arranged the fireworks that they bought after walking around the city.

Fang Xiaoxue was so sleepy that she fell asleep, Xia Xiaoyu accompanied her daughter and waited for some playful boys in the car.

"Give me a lighter!" Fang Mian beckoned to Xu Huaiyang.

Xu Huaiyang froze for a moment, then looked at Cai Zhan helplessly.Cai Zhan clicked his tongue, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, took out the lighter from the pack, and threw it to Fang Mian far away.

"Have you quit?" Li Jianxia stood beside Xu Huaiyang and asked in surprise.

"I'm quitting," Xu Huaiyang shrugged and said with a smile, "No, you don't even have the right to freedom of tobacco use."

Li Jianxia looked at Zhu Shen, and said sincerely: "I think this trick is very good."

"Look at the flowers, don't talk." Zhu Shen coughed lightly and said solemnly.

The lead wire was ignited with a "beep", and several people ran away happily. Xu Huaiyang tripped over a stone on the river bank, and when Cai Zhan turned around, he happened to catch him.

The fireworks rose into the sky "swish" and exploded with a "bang".In this night without stars and snowflakes, the sky was filled with colorful colors out of thin air.

The fireworks exploded one after another, bright as day for a while, and falling like a meteor shower for a while.Xu Huaiyang looked up at the sky, Cai Zhan hugged him, breathing on the back of his neck with moist warmth.

"Have you made a wish—" Li Jianxia suddenly turned around and shouted to Xu Huaiyang through the loud noise.

Xu Huaiyang was stunned for a moment, then laughed and shouted: "No more—"

"why--"

"Because—" Xu Huaiyang paused, "It's—good enough—"

The last firework disappeared into the night sky, the little lights dispersed, and everything returned to tranquility.

Xu Huaiyang raised his head, and a kiss fell on the corner of his lips, with some warmth.

"I won't make a wish," he looked at Cai Zhan and smiled slightly, "My wish has already come true."

Cai Zhan narrowed his eyes: "Together with you."

"Yes, with you." Xu Huaiyang hugged him and sighed contentedly.
