Chapter 41 Soy Milk and Fried Tiao

After watching Xia Ren leave, Xia Yao didn't speak to Jiang An. He walked all the way to the parking lot, but Jiang An told him that he still shouldn't.

The two stood in front of the car, and Jiang An simply raised the volume and called out to him: "Xinxin!"

Xia Yao heard the sound of a sudden explosion behind him, shook the hand pulling the car door, closed the opened car door again, and turned to look at him: "What are you doing here?"

"Pick you up!" Jiang An walked up to him, stood close to the person and almost pressed him against the car door, and said with a low laugh, "Your father seems to be very interested in me."

Xia Yao pushed him away, opened the door and got into the car.

"Li Zhenhe told you to come and see my dad." Xia Yao said while fastening his seat belt, "He knows my dad well. change idea."

"Are you unhappy?" Jiang An leaned over and asked.

Xia Yao looked at him and shook his head: "No, I'm not unhappy."

"Then you seem to be very preoccupied, especially when your dad just said that you should take me to see him tomorrow."

"...I don't." Xia Yao turned his head away from Jiang An as he said that, and wrote the words "I have something on his mind" all over his body.

Jiang An bit his lower lip and couldn't help smiling, raised his hand to hold his face and turned him around, then kissed him on the mouth and said to him: "But you look very unhappy now, Why don't you tell me?"

After he finished speaking, he pressed his hands together, and Xia Yao was forced to face him with pouted mouth, eyes blinked and blinked, and a word came to his mouth and couldn't come out, and he swallowed it back.

Xia Yao frowned and said inarticulately: "You shake me away..."

Jiang An simply let him go and sat back in his seat: "Speak, I'll listen."

"I think I can handle this well by myself." Xia Yao took the car and drove out along the yellow guiding line.His fingers are slender, Jiang An couldn't help staring at his pair of beautiful hands, and suddenly remembered the involuntary praise he said when he looked at Xia Yao's body during the day.

——He is really beautiful.The eyes are beautiful, the two thin lips are beautiful, and even the hands are so beautiful that you can't take your eyes off them.

Jiang An turned to look at Xia Yao's profile, and subconsciously said, "You are so pretty."

"Are you thinking about this?" Xia Yao took the time to glance at him and sneered, "You like me because I'm pretty?"

"It's hard to help, please understand." Jiang An raised his hand to help him brush his hair that was blown by the wind just now, and said with a smile: "Go on."

"I haven't seen my mom, I've only seen pictures of her in the bedroom in my dad's room."

The topic changed abruptly, Jiang An didn't react, his hand froze in mid-air for a moment, but when he put it down, it landed lightly on the back of his hand.

Xia Yao looked down, rubbed his thumb on the back of his hand, and said, "Actually, I don't have any feelings for her. I've never seen her—in a real sense. My dad never told me about it before. Later, when I was eight years old, I finally saw my grandma for the first time. My grandma, who was so similar to my mother, screamed and kicked me out of the door the first time she saw me.

"I heard from my dad that my mother had a heart attack. When she was pregnant with me, the doctor said she couldn't have a baby. The two children she was pregnant with before were also aborted, but I survived tenaciously in her stomach.

"She recorded in her diary how she felt about me a little bit, and she thought it was our fate."

Jiang An subconsciously tightened his hands. Xia Yao stopped at the intersection and waited for pedestrians to pass by. He turned his face to look at him, and the two happened to meet their eyes.

Then he turned his head to look at the road again, and Jiang An saw that the corners of his lips were curved, as if he was smiling—it didn't seem to be, and he couldn't tell.

"Then how could it be fate? She was admitted to the hospital when she was seven months old. Since she went to the hospital frequently for pregnancy checkups in three months, the doctor advised her not to give birth, but no one could persuade her. My dad, grandparents And grandpa and grandma, no one can persuade them.

"She must give birth to me, Jiang An, she knows she may die, but she still wants to give birth to me."

Xia Yao took his hand out of Jiang An's hand to hold the steering wheel, and put his other hand on the side of the car window, slowly following the car in front of him in the traffic flow, and when the car in front stopped, he also stepped on the brakes.

He stared at the taillights in front until his eyes felt uncomfortable, and everything he saw in his eyes became unclear. He took a breath and said, "Can you understand how a mother wants to protect a child with her life? I No, I don't understand, Jiang An."

"Auntie will be very sad if she can hear you say that."

Xia Yao found the focus of his eyes again in an instant, he turned to look at Jiang An, his brows slowly opened.

Jiang An asked him softly: "What happened then?"

"Later... she wanted me to stay in the stomach for one more day. She knew I was not ready, but she couldn't wait any longer. The doctor performed a caesarean section, and I was rushed into the incubator. She She went to the ICU and never came out again, she never even saw me, she didn’t see with her own eyes what the child she gave birth to with her life looks like, she doesn’t know whether she looks like her or my dad.”

Xia Yao felt that he hadn't said so many words for a long time, and he suddenly held his breath in his heart, which made him gasp for breath.Fortunately, during the evening rush hour, there were too many cars on the road and his speed was always slow. Seeing that his face was not good, Jiang An asked him if he wanted to change.He squeezed the center of his brows and said no in a muffled voice.

Jiang An gently shook his hand again: "I understand, Xia Yao."

"You understand?"

"Understood, why don't you understand? Maternal love is not worth talking about - besides, you grew up so well, this is the best reward for auntie."

Xia Yao shook his head and refuted him: "Besides me, she has so many relatives. If she is so stubborn and sacrifices her life, how sad her grandpa and grandma will be. Is it really worth it? Why did she—"

"What are you talking about Xia Yao." Jiang An suddenly said seriously: "When she decided to give birth to you, she didn't care whether it was worth it or not. Just because she loves you doesn't mean she doesn't love her family."

Xia Yao withdrew his gaze, drove silently through a section of the road that was not congested, and was stuck at an intersection with a heavy traffic flow when the green light jumped to the red light.

He said calmly: "My dad brought me up alone. I depended on him, but I didn't dare to rely too much on him. Everything I got was bought by the person he loved most with his life."

It was only at this time that Jiang An truly understood Xia Yao's stubbornness. This person's insecurity was due to such a great "sacrifice" and "dedication".

At the same time, some past events came to his mind, and he suddenly felt like a stick in his throat, and the content of the conversation with Li Zhenhe earlier appeared in his mind.

"He's very careful..."

"It's not that he obeyed you, but he has a sense of guilt..."

He couldn't speak to explain Xia Yao, and the two remained silent until Xia Yao drove him to the gate of the community.

The car stopped at the gate of the community, but he didn't get off immediately.Knowing that he had something to say, Xia Yao drove the car into the community and parked it downstairs of his house.

Xia Yao said, "Here we are."

Jiang An squeezed his wrist: "Thank you, Xinxin, for growing up so well."

"Please don't—"

"Don't think about whether you are worth it or not. People who love you are willing to give everything for you. Mom does, and dad does too. You don't even need to say, they know how to love you and care about you." Jiang An suddenly interrupted him, raising his hand in front of him With a scratch on the tip of his nose: "In the future, I will be too."

Xia Yao was taken aback for a moment, and wanted to withdraw his hand, but Jiang An pulled him tighter and tighter.

"Moved?" Jiang An asked with a smile.

When he didn't answer, Jiang An leaned in front of him, with a smile in his eyes, and said softly: "If you are moved, will you reward me?"

For a while, the two kept breathing in sync, and there was no sound in the car.Xia Yao stared at the man for a while, then put his hand on Jiang An's shoulder and pushed back: "Go back and rest early, I will pick you up tomorrow morning."

"......that's it?"

"Get out of the car, I'm so tired, I want to go home and sleep."

"Sleepy? Then stay at my house tonight?"

Xia Yao immediately refused firmly: "No."

"I--"

Before Jiang An could speak his defense, he saw Xia Yao unfasten his seat belt and get out of the car, walked around the front of the car to the passenger door, and opened the door for him.

He had no choice but to unfasten his seat belt and get out of the car, closing the door with his backhand.

But he was always a little upset.

Seeing that Xia Yao turned to leave, he pulled him back and raised his arms to support the car, trapped him in front of him, and called him in a low voice: "Xinxin."

"...Don't call me Xinxin."

"I'll let you go if you act coquettishly."

Xia Yao frowned and looked at Jiang An, as if he couldn't understand his strange request at all.And Jiang An just waited quietly like this, and there was a tendency to get closer and closer, so he could only keep leaning back, and finally leaned directly on the car, unable to avoid it.

Looking at Jiang An's "persistent" eyes, he pursed his lips, tried to raise one hand to put it on Jiang An's shoulder, and carefully leaned forward to kiss him.

This superficial kiss obviously couldn't solve any problems. Jiang An seemed to have planned it for a long time. The moment their lips touched, they suddenly put their arms around Xia Yao's waist, brought him in front of him, and kissed him again.

When Xia Yao came to his senses, he had already put his hands on Jiang An's neck, as if holding his face with both hands, and finished a "good night kiss" with him seriously.

The street lights were bright, and when he heard footsteps approaching, Xia Yao gently pushed Jiang An away.As soon as the passers-by walked over, the two heard the electronic door slamming not far away, and looked back together, just in time to see someone slowly pushing the door open and coming out.

Jiang Le followed the person who came out with his head down, not daring to look at the two people beside the car - he had actually seen them all, if someone hadn't come down to open the door, he didn't intend to go out before Xia Yao left.

It's just so embarrassing, like accidentally bumping into your parents making out as a kid.

Jiang An saw the familiar figure walking forward "sneaky", so he shouted, "Where are you going?"

Xia Yao took the opportunity to tidy up his clothes, stepped out and moved away from Jiang An, his expression gradually returned to normal, and his expression became much more normal.

"It's cold at night, what are you doing out here?" Jiang An raised his hand and called Jiang Le over, turned his face to look at Xia Yao, and said, "Don't you want to say hello to your captain?"

Jiang Le didn't dare to look at Xia Yao. In fact, Xia Yao was a little awkward and couldn't speak for a while.

"Brother, I didn't do it on purpose..." Jiang Le muttered twice, then nodded to greet Xia Yao: "Team, captain——Brother Xia Yao..."

"What wasn't intentional?" Jiang An asked him.

"-Brother, I'll go shopping first!" Jiang Le looked more embarrassed than the two people in front of him, he simply ran away, and after running for three or two steps, he turned around and explained to him: "It's late and the convenience store is closed!"

Seeing the person running away, Jiang An smiled and said, "The child understands quite well."

"Jiang Le is gone, not a child anymore." Xia Yao corrected him seriously, turned around and got into the car.

Jiang An then walked to the driver's cab door, put his hands on the door and bent down to talk to him: "Let's have breakfast together tomorrow?"

"...a little later."

"Didn't uncle let you go early in the morning?"

Xia Yao responded to him while fastening his seat belt: "I will make an appointment with him later."

Jiang An asked casually, "What's up tomorrow morning?"

"It's okay." Xia Yao drove the car, stretched out his hand to push Jiang An's elbow away, closed the window halfway, and said, "I'm too tired, I want to sleep more."

Jiang An laughed out loud, and leaned over to hold the car window with both hands and apologized in a low voice: "My fault, my fault, then go back and have a good rest. I'll come to you tomorrow morning with breakfast."

"No, I don't eat much in the morning." Xia Yao frowned.

"Milk bread or soy milk fritters? Steamed stuffed buns? Porridge?" Jiang An obviously didn't approve of the habit of skipping breakfast in the morning. After counting around, he arbitrarily selected the classic combination of soy milk fritters, "Soy milk fritters, is that okay?"

Xia Yao looked at the man leaning against the car window and said nothing for a long time, as if he was protesting silently against his sabotage of sleeping late. After the two "confronted" for a while, they found that Jiang An had no intention of giving in. Too sleepy, can only temporarily compromise.

"...Okay then, good night." After finishing speaking, he simply stretched out his hand and pushed Jiang An back, then closed the window and drove away.

Jiang An stared blankly at the taillight disappearing at the end of the road, smiled for a while, put his hand on the back of his neck and said to himself, "It's pretty cute."

Early the next morning, Jiang An cooked a bowl of noodles for Jiang Le. When he opened the door, he found Li Zhenhe standing at the door with something in both hands. He waved his hand at him: "...Good morning."

"You are quite early." Jiang An glanced back at Jiang Le who had just picked up the chopsticks, then looked at the buns and steaming porridge in Li Zhenhe's hands, and said, "Give him noodles, and you eat buns and porridge .”

Jiang Le looked up: "I, I eat noodles very well..."

"Eat buns, eat buns." Li Zhenhe asked Jiang An to go out, stepped on his shoes and entered the house, "Your favorite custard buns, pork cabbage and mushroom vermicelli, porridge is vegetables and corn—"

"Hey, you figured out what he likes to eat so quickly?" Jiang An said with a smile as he folded his hands against the door.

Li Zhenhe put the porridge on the table, handed a steamed bun to Jiang Le, and said with a smile, "I told you, Lele, give it to me, don't worry, you don't even know what Xia Yao likes to eat, do you?" Raising his eyebrows, he simply broke off a piece and brought it to Jiang Le's mouth, and said, "Xia Yao has an irregular schedule, doesn't often eat breakfast in the morning, and doesn't eat much even if he has a bad stomach."

Jiang An frowned: "How do you know so much?"

"Well..." Li Zhenhe opened the porridge, clapped his hands, stood up and took a few steps towards the door: "You will know after a few months of training in Hanjiang Yingxue."

"I'm leaving." Jiang An glanced at him, turned and closed the door and left.

The door slammed shut, and Li Zhenhe suddenly thought of the fear of being dominated by Jiang An's daily loving breakfast soy milk and fried dough sticks a few years ago. He stepped up and chased him to the elevator and stopped him again: "Xia Yao has a stomachache. Well, you can’t drink soy milk in the morning, so don’t buy soy milk and fried dough sticks for others!”

Standing in the elevator, Jiang An flicked his index finger and pressed the wrong floor.

Xia Yao likes to sleep late, and he is a little bit angry about getting up.

He didn't even open his eyes when he heard the doorbell and the phone rang at the same time. He reached out and touched the phone on the bedside table to answer the call. He answered Jiang An's call in a soft and lazy voice.

"Hey."

"I am by the door."

He squinted his eyes and looked at the time, turned around twice and covered his head with a pillow, and said in a muffled voice, "The password is—"

Suddenly there was no sound from the receiver, so Jiang An asked, "What's the password?"

"I'll open it for you."

Then Jiang An heard the sound of slippers being pulled at the door, and took half a step back, Xia Yao opened the door for him.

"It's only 08:30, what time did you get up?" Xia Yao put on a coral fleece home coat and asked Jiang An while putting on his socks.

Jiang An arranged the breakfasts he bought on the dining table and said, "I don't know what you like to eat, so I bought some of them."

"Didn't you say..." Xia Yao walked to the dining table, glanced at the food on the table, and finished the second half of the sentence: "Do you eat soy milk and fried dough sticks?"

As soon as he turned around, he was caught off guard and bumped into Jiang An's open arm.

"If it wasn't for Lao Li saying that you have a bad stomach and feel uncomfortable after drinking soy milk in the morning, I would really buy soy milk fritters." Jiang An said.

Xia Yao was stunned for a while, and replied: "It's okay to eat a little once in a while."

"If you don't tell me, I'll keep buying it—Lao Li ate soy milk and fried dough sticks for breakfast for a month during the drunken training camp." Jiang An couldn't help laughing, and rubbed against Xia Yao's neck , and said softly: "I don't know them about you, I'm really ashamed."

Xia Yao gently pushed the man away, grabbed his arm with one hand, stepped forward half a step, looked into his eyes and said slowly: "What do I like to eat and what do I not like to eat, when do I go to bed and when do I get up, what do I do before going to bed? What it's like to fall asleep, I will gradually understand in the future."
