Luting Canteen

Early the next morning, Tang's mother got up and went out to buy breakfast for Tang Meng who was still sleeping, and told him to get up and eat quickly. Asked him how the bookstore's income was recently, and finally told Tang Meng not to be late next Tuesday night, he had time to get his hair done in these two days, and said not to be like Ye Qi, why did he make his bangs so long, read a book and put it down Isn't it bad for the eyes?

Tang Meng has gotten used to his mother's character of being able to say four or five sentences even about small things. Although he has a good temper, he is not the kind of person who will not be annoying. Just think about what his mother said last night. If I want to rush back to accompany my father, I feel that there is no need to be bored by the nagging of my mother who came here by car from a long distance.

The mother's ticket to go back was booked when she came here. She has always been like "I can't live without your father", so the husband and wife have not been separated much until now.Tang Meng has seen them quarreling, seeing his father angrily throwing the book in his hand, not saying a word for several days, and seeing two people walking, and his mother insisted on holding his father's arm.

Tang Meng couldn't judge the marriage of the two of them.What he desires and what his mother considers are basically two directions, but there are many reasons for people to be together, and he doesn't want to deny that he is different from himself, let alone whether he is happy or not, like a person drinking water, knowing whether he is warm or not.

And at this point, Tang Meng's experience is zero.Haven't been in a relationship with anyone, and don't want to be with anyone else.Only Ye Qi, he always kept it in his heart carefully.

One day when he was 16 years old, when he had desire for Ye Qi for the first time, when the dizzy tremor spread in his body, what replaced the short-term joy was the sudden sense of guilt after waking up.

He understood that he was still a child, but he could no longer look at him with his brother's eyes.So Tang Meng began to restrain himself from then on, and grew up with Ye Qi year after year. Actions that will make you feel lonelier.

In recent years, Ye Qi has become taller and stronger than himself, sometimes when he leans over, his heart suddenly panics.Fortunately, he has gotten used to controlling himself over the years.

Because I watched Uncle Chi and Uncle Wen Bin walk over.No matter what other people think about the fact that the two men are in love, Tang Meng understands: if the two of them are together, Ye Qi will be hurt to some extent.

Of course he could understand the love in Ye Qi's eyes, but how much he wanted to let him be so carefree for a few more years.He followed him, pampered him, and taught him when he did something wrong.He is the elder brother he has always relied on.Since he will only be Ye Qi's from beginning to end, then he would rather not touch him now, not touch this baby he has loved for many years, and just stay by his side without saying anything, and live here with him.In this way, Ye Qi will not be hurt by people around him, such as his mother.

After sending his mother to the bus station, his mother told him to make a good impression on other girls, and he continued talking for a while before going to the security check.Tang Meng smiled and waved to his mother, then hurried back to Luting.

There was no traffic jam on the road. After getting off the bus, Tang Meng walked towards Luting. On the way, he happened to meet Song Song who was delivering soup. The other party greeted him loudly. Tang Meng remembered that Yan Ting had told them last night. About Li Hui.Sure enough, Song Song winked at him excitedly as soon as he came over:

"You guys can really hide it. I said that Little Carrot's words and deeds are so interesting. Tsk, tell us earlier!"

Like Yan Ting, Tang Meng smiled apologetically:

"I'm afraid Li Hui just came—"

"I know, I know, you cultural people think a lot, so I'll just talk about it casually," Song Song interrupted Tang Meng, and picked up the thermos bucket in his hand again: "It's just right, let's go and have some soup together."

"Okay. Where's Brother Shubo?"

"He has a friend's younger brother who is coming to pick him up, so I planned to hang out with you before opening the shop tonight."

"Okay, but,"

Tang Meng paused, glanced at Song Song and said with a smile:

"If you keep pestering Li Hui asking this and that, I think someone will give you a hard time."

When Song Song heard that the small calculation in his heart was seen, he coughed in embarrassment, clicked his tongue and said yes, and the two walked towards Luting while talking.The sun was fine today, and as soon as I entered the yard, I saw Ye Qi tie Li Hui's hair by the locust tree, Yan Ting stood aside and stared, and raised his head to see them coming in and raised his hands, Ye Qi turned his head and rushed to Tang With a smile:

"Uncle Tang! Brother Baicai, come here, come quickly and see how little Lihui's hairstyle is like?"

The two went over and saw that Ye Qi had tied up Li Hui's hair in a bun, then tied it up with wide light brown cloth strips, specially picked out a few long bangs, and matched them with Yan Ting to find out The black thick sweater and woolen trousers look more mature than before the trip.

"Little Carrot, you are really slowly turning into a man, not bad."

Song Song deliberately looked at Yan Ting while talking, and Yan Ting went over to take the thermos in his hand:

"Our pigeon soup? Thanks."

"Hey, hey, I'm for Little Carrot, you're so strong and shaved!"

Li Hui looked at the backs of Yan Ting and Song Song going into the cafeteria, and was very happy: the sweater on his body was very similar to the furry black one the young master wore before. Brother Song said that again just now, which made Li Hui feel that Maybe I can grow taller soon!

Thinking of this, he thanked Ye Qi, and Li Hui quickly trotted into the cafeteria.

Tang Meng looked at Li Hui's lively back, then looked at Ye Qi who was smiling all the time, and felt that his face seemed a little pale, so he asked:

"Ye Qi, what time did you sleep yesterday?"

Ye Qi glanced at him:

"Can not remember."

"Did you stay up late?"

"No, I just played a game with my junior and went to bed late."

Finding an excuse to fool the past, Ye Qi asked again:

"Where's Auntie?"

"Just sent to the station."

"I see."

Nodding, Ye Qi laughed again:

"Why, this time, do I finally want you to go on a blind date~"

He deliberately said it in a very relaxed tone, but Ye Qi knew how much effort he had spent to keep his voice from shaking.

Tang Meng looked at him, thought for a while and nodded.

"That's good, do you know what the other party is like?"

My heart sank, but if I let my emotions be exposed now, I would be too inferior.Ye Qi thought.

In the rehearsal that he repeated a thousand times, there was no such scene where he went to confess in the deer pavilion that was about to open because of jealousy.He should be full of liking, kiss him slowly and well in a place where there are only two people, and then tell this man who is older than himself, I have liked you since I was a child.

So now is not the time, definitely not the time.

Tang Meng knew that his birthday would never be pushed back anyway, so he definitely couldn't hide it from Ye Qi and Yan Ting, who had been celebrating his birthday all the time, so he tried his best to pass it lightly, so that Ye Qi could understand that he would not have a birthday. That meaning.

"I only know when I see you. I will come back after a meal. There will be no follow-up development."

So, the child will always feel at ease, right?Tang Meng thought.Unexpectedly, Ye Qi curled his lips, patted himself on the shoulder and smiled brightly:

"Uncle Tang, that's not sure, who knows. When are you going?"

If you really want to watch, you can follow behind secretly, or just like on TV, suddenly appear and say, this person is mine!Then he took Tang Meng's hand and left.

Ye Qi's mind flashed all these scenes, and when he heard Tang Meng hesitate to say the date, he was really stunned.

"In the night of NO.20."

After that, Ye Qi remembered that he seemed to say with a smile, "Uncle Tang, it's nice to have beautiful women to accompany you on your birthday," and then went in.After speaking in such a breath, you can push the needle into your heart in one breath.The pain point is the pain point, anyway, I can't see the blood.

Tang Meng stood under the tree, wanting to call his mother right away to refuse.But he knew that if he didn't go this time, there would be another time soon.And if I temporarily rejected it and caused my mother to lose face in front of friends, there would probably be a lot of blind dates waiting for me after that.

Bear with it.

But how long?

Clenching the hand that was scalded by boiling water yesterday, Tang Meng suddenly wanted to punch himself.

On the day of the blind date, because they knew that Tang Meng had an appointment at night, Yan Ting and the others changed the dinner to after noon. Li Hui specially cooked a lot of dishes. The long table outside would probably be filled with gratitude to Tang Meng.But Yan Ting began to secretly wonder what the little guy will do when he celebrates his birthday.Ever since Yang Shubai fell in love with baking, he has always made birthday cakes for a group of people. This time, Tang Meng's birthday is no exception. He made a pure white cheesecake with three layers of strawberries inside.Topped with nothing but fresh vanilla and a chocolate chip garnish, the cake looked elegant.

It was the first time for Li Hui to see a cake, and he never took his eyes off it. When Yang Shubai told him that he could make one with him for Christmas soon, the little guy was so happy that he thanked Yang Shubai several times earnestly. It made him laugh, and couldn't help but raise his hand to pat Li Hui's head.

Ye Qi also laughed with everyone, thinking about what expression Tang Meng would use tonight, and what would he look like?What if, what if they fit well?Will passers-by look back at those two people, and then tell their friends, "That couple is really good for each other"?

And so on until the party is over.Yan Ting wanted to tell Ye Qi not to go to school in the afternoon, but he waved his hand before everyone started to clean up:

"I have a very important class in the afternoon, so I'm leaving first!"

"Fuck me, Ye Qi, when did you get so serious, you want to escape washing the dishes, don't you!"

Not listening to Song Song's loud voice, Ye Qi raised his eyebrows, blinked at Li Hui, waved his hand at everyone, and walked away humming a little tune with his bag on his shoulders.

After cleaning up, Tang Meng sat alone in the yard, regardless of whether it was a bit cold or not.Maybe it's better to be colder, so that I can calm my rarely irritable heart.

"Are you blowing cold air here?"

Looking back, it turned out that Yang Shubai brought two cups of hot tea over.The tea was prepared by Yan Ting, and Yan Ting felt that only Yang Shubai could help Tang Meng sort out his mood now.

Tang Meng took the tea and smiled softly:

"Thank you Shubo."

Yang Shubai took a sip of tea, then looked at the gate of the courtyard:

"Sometimes when people grow up, they think too much."

Tang Meng looked up at him, Yang Shubai smiled:

"Maybe it's a good thing, maybe it's not. By the way, Tang Meng, do you know that Song Song almost broke up with me before?"

"You guys, almost broke up?"

Tang Meng was a little surprised, but considering that they have been together for many years, some stories are normal.

"At that time, I thought he was still young. He was only 20 years old when I met him. I was five years older than him, so naturally I thought a lot. He was under too much pressure, did he say anything when he wanted to break up?"

Tang Meng didn't make a sound, Yang Shubai adjusted his glasses with his hands, took a breath and shouted loudly:

"Yang Shubai! Don't fucking think it's for my own good, fuck you! Why don't you bastard ask me what I think!"

This time even Li Hui in the kitchen could hear him, and he looked outside without moving for a long time——for him, Uncle Shu Bai, who was always gentle and gentle, was now swearing loudly, as if Song Song had suddenly become quiet, it was so incomprehensible .

Song Song looked at the startled Li Hui, then stared at Yan Ting with a dying expression on his face:

"You can just persuade Tang Meng, why is my old Bai now exposing me?"

"Don't worry about such trivial matters, Li Hui, come here and take a nap."

When he came back at night, Tang Meng was still thinking about what Yang Shubai said to him in the afternoon.Walking home from the station like this, just as he was about to open the security door outside, he glanced at a person sitting at the door of the bookstore.

"Ye Qi?"

Tang Meng was taken aback, and hurried over.

"Yo! You're back?"

Smiling and raising his hand, Ye Qi sniffed again, Tang Meng held his hand and found that it was very cold.

"When did you come here, where are the gloves? Why don't you go in with the key?"

Worried that he would catch a cold, Tang Meng wanted to pull him up, but Ye Qi didn't move.

"Ye Qi, get up."

"What's in your hand?"

Ye Qi raised his chin.Tang Meng saw that he was still holding the gift from the girl he met just now.

Because the first meeting was her birthday, the girl was also very embarrassed, so she told him directly that it was a painting book, and she just packaged it simply.

Tang Meng didn't have the habit of carrying a bag when going out, so he just carried it in his hand.

"It's a book."

"A gift from the girl I met today?"

"......yes."

"Not bad, Uncle Tang, you like books the most."

Ye Qi stood up with a smile and walked towards Tang Meng's house.

My favorite is you.I like you more than I like books.

His lips moved, but Tang Meng still couldn't speak.Ye Qi took out the key, pushed open the anti-theft door and opened the door inside.

"Uncle Tang, come in quickly."

Tang Meng followed and raised his hand to turn on the light, but Ye Qi grabbed his hand and closed the door firmly.

"Ye Qi?"

In the dark, he couldn't see the face of the child who was taller than him clearly. Tang Meng's panic reappeared, and then the book in his hand was pulled away and thrown elsewhere. In the next second, he was protected by Ye Qi's hand Head, the whole person leaned against the door.

"...just for a while, just for a while."

Ye Qi's voice came to his ears.The voice was so small, and trembling.Tang Meng didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and wanted to raise his hand to warm his face in distress, but was suddenly kissed by Ye Qi, so he couldn't move anymore.
