Mint-Stained Shirt

Mingshu is greedy, although the purpose of coming here every time is to do homework, but I can eat three cakes alone, and let my brother eat the first bite of each kind.

Xiao Yuan didn't like sweets, so he was forced to try all the cakes in this shop.Those smells are too boring for him, so he must order a cup of tea, come and go, and taste all the tea here.

When Xia Ling came up with the tray, Xiao Yuan had already taken out the paper, draft paper, and pen, and placed them neatly on the side of the table.

The desk here has an advantage for students—it's big enough that things don't spread out when two people sit together.

"Brother, your black tea." Xia Zhong took out the black tea first, and then put a piece of Black Forest in Xiao Yuan's hand. His own was cherry cheese and chocolate milk. "I don't know which dessert you like, so I just took one."

Xiao Yuan didn't like any desserts, but he still said thank you, "What questions don't you understand? Show me."

Xia Ling hurriedly took out the paper, "I did your last year's questions, and the ones circled in red don't quite understand."

The Ming family's Cold War continues.

Ming Haofeng told Xiao Lanyue that the relationship between Mingshu and him had eased, and the father and son even had a talk, but in fact they didn't at all.Mingshu refused to say a word to him, and he couldn't bear to compromise with Mingshu.If Mingshu refuses to accept it for a day, he will not let Mingshu come out for a day.

Just now he and Mingshu had another conflict.He opened the door with his lunch in his hands, his tone was as gentle as possible, but Mingshu looked at him coldly and asked, "Can I go find my brother?"

He couldn't tell whether it was Mingshu's eyes or what he said that angered him again, maybe it was both, the fire that he had suppressed after spending a long time outside doing ideological construction suddenly sprang up again, and it went even higher.

The bowl was smashed on the floor, and the food soup splashed everywhere. He stared at Mingshu and reprimanded him: "Remember clearly, you are the seed of my Ming family! No matter how good the Xiao family treats you, you are still an outsider!"

When the bowl and chopsticks fell to the ground, Mingshu blinked reflexively, and his eyelashes didn't even tremble after that, "Outsiders treat me better than my family."

These words completely angered Ming Haofeng, he pointed at Mingshu, and even shook his finger twice, but he couldn't speak immediately, and it took him a long time before he said: "You continue to reflect on me!"

After the loud bang of the door slamming on the door frame, the room fell silent again.Mingshu kept sitting with his knees hugged for a long time, feeling a little sluggish in his reaction that he was very hungry.

Recently he has been eating very little and drinking very little.He likes to eat sweets the most. There are sugar, drinks, and cakes at his elder brother's house. He hasn't eaten these things for a long time.

He ate the last bar of chocolate in the drawer three days ago.It was Xiao Jincheng who lost to him before the Spring Festival. He originally wanted to share it with his brother, but his brother didn't want it and let him eat by himself.He forgot it as soon as he got home, threw it in the drawer, and only remembered that there was a piece of chocolate after he was locked up.

There was noise outside, noisier than usual.

Mingshu listened carefully, and found out that it was a guest from home, who seemed to be Ming Haofeng's colleague and superior.

He suddenly realized that this was a good opportunity to escape.Ming Haofeng has a good face, he doesn't even have to run away, he just needs to go downstairs and say "Dad, I'm going to play with my classmates", under so many eyes watching Ming Haofeng, it is impossible for Ming Haofeng not to let him go.

After making up his mind, he changed into the jacket he was going out with, and when he habitually touched his pocket, he found a hard card, took it out, and it turned out to be the membership card of the cafe.

He wants to go to Xiao's house to find his brother first, and then go to the cafe to eat cake with his brother.

He wanted to ask himself why his brother didn't come to see him that day.

But before going downstairs, he still hesitated, passing in front of so many strangers, although Ming Haofeng would be embarrassed, but he was not at ease.

Finally, he changed his method, opened the window quietly, and slowly climbed down from the second floor.

No one noticed him, and after standing still, he ran away, almost all the way to Xiao's house.

Xiao Jincheng had his game console confiscated, and was struggling with homework in the living room on the first floor. When he saw Mingshu, he acted like a ghost, "Damn it! Did your dad let you out?"

Mingshu didn't have time to explain, "Where's my brother?"

Xiao Jincheng said, "Your brother is crazy."

Mingshu didn't understand, he ran too fast just now, now he was panting quickly, his face turned red from the smoke, "Huh?"

"Aren't you crazy to go out to do your homework?" Xiao Jincheng pointed at his head, "So does Xia Yi. Maybe they are not normal here for high school students."

Mingshu finally recovered his breath, "My brother and Xia Zhong went out? Where are they?"

Xiao Jincheng was puzzled, "How do I know?"

Mingshu ran out of the courtyard again.

Hearing that his brother and Xia Zhong went out, he felt a little uncomfortable.Brother didn't come to rescue him, so he was with someone else.Didn't he just want to see his brother when he escaped, but his brother was not at home, and he didn't say where he went.

So what should he do if he can't find his brother?

On the streets during the winter vacation, there were more people than usual. He breathed heavily, his chest trembled, but his hands were numb from the cold.

He put his hand in his pocket and found the card again.

Will my brother be in the coffee shop?

Xia Yi was actually not material for a physics competition, and Xiao Yuan found out after explaining a few questions to him, but Xia Yi seemed to be very interested in physics, so it was not easy to pour cold water on him at this time.

The questions Xia Ling asked were easy to answer, and Xiao Yu'an finished his own questions after speaking, and when it was almost 6 o'clock in the afternoon, he had finished the questions he brought.

But Xia Zhong was still struggling to calculate on the draft paper, and had no intention of going home.

In addition to drinks and cakes, this cafe also offers light meals.Xiao Yu'an said, "Take a break, are you hungry?"

Xia Ling raised his head, a little worried, "Brother, are you going back to eat?"

Xiao Yuan said: "Don't worry, just eat here, do you still have some questions to ask me?"

Xia Ling nodded.

Xiao Yu'an got up, tapped the edge of the table, "I'll go down and order a meal."

There was that bright light in Xia Zhong's eyes again, "Okay, thank you brother."

When Mingshu broke into the cafe, he smelled the aroma of steak.It was already meal time, and the group of guests who came in the afternoon had either left or were having dinner.

Mingshu glanced anxiously, but he didn't see his brother, so he went upstairs immediately, and he didn't see his brother on the second floor.

He ran up to the third floor, where there were the fewest people, and by the window, he saw the most familiar figure.

It's brother.

But next to my brother was Xia Zhong, they were sitting side by side, very close to each other, poking the steak with a knife and fork.

Xia Zhong was talking to his brother, and his brother smiled.

It gets dark early in winter, and the lights are already on outside the window.Those brilliant lights shrouded my brother through the window, like mysterious candlelight.

Earlier, he was taken by Xiao Jincheng to watch an idol drama, and the people in the drama would sit together and share a candlelight dinner when they fell in love, and they also ate steak.

He opened his eyes wide, and suddenly felt that something was empty, and then the cold wind from outside just poured in, making him shiver.

Brother is a liar.

He spent so much effort to run out to find his brother, but his brother fell in love with Xia Zhong early on.
