drink moonlight alone

Zhou Qingyan subconsciously raised her eyelids to look at Zhou Weiyue.

Out of the corner of her eye, Zhou Weiyue stopped chewing, her slightly pursed thin lips were holding the tip of her chopsticks, and her temple hair, which had not yet been dried after taking a bath, was formed into locks. The side face, so that Zhou Qingyan couldn't see what emotion he was in.

"Grandma." Zhou Qingyan was silent for a while, and boredly picked up the sliced ​​tomato in the cold noodles and turned it over, "I'm only 30 years old."

"What's the matter at the age of 30? The Song family's son is married." Grandma shook her head noncommittally.

"That's because he fucked up his girlfriend's belly."

To the south of Yuan Island, the Song family began to settle on the island several generations ago. It is said that the great grandfather of the Song family caught up with the earliest wave of foreign trade and made a fortune within three or two years. From the past to the present, it has been used by the island residents to encourage their children to go out and see the world, and they have been talking about it after dinner.The Song family has been passed down to the current generation in power, and there is only one only son left. Zhou Qingyan was only ten years old when that incident happened. Hearing the rumor from the aunt who sold the steamed buns, she went home and said to her grandma in a daze. .

The island is surrounded by the sea in all directions, and the location is small. There are so few families going back and forth. You tell me what you say, and I tell you what you say. Well, soon everyone will know.Most people of the older generation are very discerning and can't tolerate such unethical things as unmarried pregnancy. However, under the insistence of the only son of the Song family, they hurriedly held a beautiful wedding before the girl was pregnant. Now everyone has tacit understanding, and there is no way to raise any objections.

Grandma said "Ai ai" repeatedly, and raised her wrinkled eyelids: "I think your father also wished that you two would make a big girl's belly right away, so that you can directly marry a wife and have children."

"What are you talking about?" Zhou Qingyan frowned slightly, but she still couldn't make an impatient rebuttal, so she could only patiently say, "Now is the age of free love."

"It's because you young people are always clamoring for free love, the birth rate and marriage rate will drop. Tell me, what do you want to do if you don't get married and have children? Don't you still want to rely on your family in the end?"

This is like saying that if you don't get married or have children, you don't deserve to be a good man and woman.But Zhou Qingyan murmured against these words for a while, but finally swallowed them back into his stomach unwillingly.

"Just say whether you want to go or not."

Zhou Qingyan raised his head, opened his eyes and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Blind date." Grandma straightened her stooped back confidently, "I've found you all. This girl is pretty good, just one year older than you. The date is tomorrow."

"Grandma!" Zhou Qingyan slapped the chopsticks on the dining table heavily, her chest heaving up and down uncontrollably due to emotion.

The scene was quiet for a while.Zhou Qingyan had an obedient personality, and the momentary indignation from his superiors was not enough for him to refute and complain without hesitation.He just stared blankly at the table in front of him. The wooden tabletop was painted with a dark green primer, which has faded a lot of its original verdant and bright color with the passage of time. It is woven of wooden rattan, and some of the craftsmanship is not so good, the weaving is out of order, and even the ends are still exposed.

The dinner table was so silent that there was only the sound of ice cubes sinking into the water, and grandma’s hoarse and helpless laughter. Compared with joy, it was more like the relief that was unintentionally leaked after looking down on the floating world, "I can hear you, don't be so loud .”

"If you don't like to go, let's not go. Grandma will help you refuse."

After hastily ushering in the first rain in summer, the night is white and bright, and the sky is full of stars and the sky is endless at a glance.The evening wind came through the hall, without the dryness hidden in the depths earlier, there was a touch of coolness, and the moisture in it became inexplicably amiable.While talking on the phone with Jian Rong, Zhou Qingyan was sitting in the backyard facing a pair of lush camphor trees, beside him was a round and honest little piggy mosquito coil, with a flamboyant opening on the nose. With a big mouth, wisps of white smoke drifted away.

"So you finally decided to go on a blind date?" Jian Rong didn't know where it was, the background was so silent that even the cicadas were gone, only his faint breathing came out of the microphone.

"That's right." Zhou Qingyan lowered his eyes, reaching out his hand out of boredom to dig the cracks in the floor, "I knew it would happen, I shouldn't let my mother and father tell me that I'm going back to grandma's house."

"If you really don't want to go, you can just refuse."

Zhou Qingyan sighed unobtrusively: "If my dad mentions this, I will definitely refuse, but it's my grandma."

"Where's Zhou Weiyue? Does he know about it? What do you mean?"

"Hmm..." Zhou Qingyan muttered, but still opened his lips and said, "He is like a melon-eating crowd. He doesn't hear what's going on outside the window, and he just eats the food in the bowl."

Jian Rong groaned angrily: "Yes, I think you can go on a blind date."

In the end, Zhou Qingyan just wanted to find someone to complain about. Whether Jian Rong would listen or give practical advice, he never had high hopes.One after another, chatting with gossips that didn't match the first words and the later ones, and when the black and thick clouds in the clear sky began to gather again, covering the sky full of stars and the bright moonlight, Zhou Qing Yan hung up the phone first.

He raised his head, only to realize that he had missed the opportunity before he could appreciate the beautiful scenery just now.

Just like so many trivial matters, everything depends on the right time, place and people. Perhaps he should be ruthless just now to reject the blind date proposed by his grandmother, but how could he bear to see the old man's turbid eyes see the sporadic light in the dark? Woolen cloth.Zhou Qingyan has a good relationship with his grandma. In the past, grandma said that he would never do another, not to mention that now he already knows that the hourglass of grandma's life has begun to count down.

Thinking about nothing, Zhou Weiyue appeared in front of the gate and confessed his true feelings to him when Zhou Qingyan's mood had let go and drifted into the palace. In an instant, the person concerned appeared behind him silently and patted his left shoulder.

"elder brother."

"What?" Zhou Qing turned her head abruptly, pressed the tip of her nose towards Zhou Weiyue, and said angrily, "You really don't make a sound when you walk."

"It's not that I don't make a sound when I walk, it's that you are too distracted."

Zhou Weiyue sat down beside him with a smile on her face. There was a short distance between the two of them, and they only needed to turn slightly sideways to be shoulder to shoulder.At the next moment, Zhou Qingyan smelled the obscure smell of smoke on his body, and she was caught in the cold wind, which faded away the aroma of the same lime shampoo on his body.Like scooping up a handful of clear water, it is sweet and clear, but the aftertaste is bitter and sour.

It was only then that Zhou Qingyan realized that Zhou Weiyue could smoke.

Although it was not the first time he knew about it, he had never smoked it in front of himself, and as time passed, he gradually forgot about it.

"Do you have a cigarette? Give me one?" Zhou Qingyan smiled and stretched out her hand to Zhou Weiyue.

"what?"

Seeing Zhou Weiyue blinking at him in a daze, he waved his hand again and repeated: "Smoke."

"Brother, you... know how to smoke?" Zhou Weiyue hesitated for a while, then took out a box of Montblanc from the cotton-balled coat, and uncovered the paper cover. There were only three cigarettes left in it.

"You are only allowed to smoke or I am not allowed to smoke?"

Zhou Qingyan just stretched out her hand, ready to pick up the tallest cigarette in the uneven cigarette box, but Zhou Weiyue closed the box with her backhand as if repenting, put her beak back into her pocket, and stared at Zhou Qingyan steadfastly. See, "Smoking is bad for your health."

"Then you still smoke." Zhou Qingyan was noncommittal.

"I'm not addicted to cigarettes." Zhou Weiyue shrugged innocently, the side of his face was reflected by the flowing light, and half of it was a warm orange, "It's a habit I've developed since I was studying. But I think, sometimes Talking out will be more useful than smoking and getting drunk."

"You want to hear me whine?"

"I want to listen." Zhou Weiyue hurriedly answered, then paused for a while, "But let me guess first, is it because of a blind date?"

Zhou Qingyan didn't say yes, and he didn't say no, the smile in his eyes faded, and there were faint outlines of smile lines on the corners of his mouth, but it was so indifferent that it was just a fleshy expression. There was no real happiness, but it only added melancholy.He changed his posture, put down one leg, closed his open coat, and asked, "If your parents asked you to go on a blind date, would you go?"

"No." Zhou Weiyue replied in seconds.

"And what about grandma?"

Zhou Weiyue paused, licking the gums with the tip of her tongue, and finally touching her mouth, a tiny bulge bulged out.

"meeting."

Zhou Qingyan rolled her eyes with a smile, lazily let go of the tension in her waist and back.He is also grateful for the tacit understanding and tacit understanding between himself and Zhou Weiyue. He has no way of expressing those uneasy emotions, those obscure and inexplicable things, but Zhou Weiyue can know a thing or two just by opening an opening.

The implication is that they can reject strange parents who lack the growth process, but they cannot refuse the grandma who brought up the two little children by hand and taught them the world and how to deal with others.
