Embroidered Pillows and Paper Tigers

After the make-up class fell through, Li Shi’an entered the wild horse mode at home. Because of the rain, he ordered takeaway at night. He fell asleep on the sofa after watching the movie at three o’clock in the middle of the night. He slept until noon on weekends. Waking up with a video call.

The call was from Li Qishan. Comrade Li Qishan stated on the phone that he was on a business trip yesterday, and that he had a flat tire on the road and did not come back. By the way, he was concerned about what his son ate last night.

Li Shi'an didn't know anything about the fact that his father didn't come back last night, so he told Li Qishan about the takeaway he ate, Li Qishan was silent for two seconds, and then said sorry Yunyun, maybe he still won't be able to come back in the afternoon.

Seeing Li Qishan's tired face from the video, Li Shi'an had already forgiven him habitually, and after hanging up the phone, the father and son began a new round of living under the same roof without seeing each other.

Li Shi'an hung up the phone and found that it was almost noon. He got into the bathroom and wanted to take a shower, only to find that there was no shower gel at home. After all, he was missing a lot of trivial things. He was always in charge of buying these daily necessities, so The plan is to go to the supermarket first, and then to have a noodle.

There is a small noodle shop called "Chang Lai" under the building of the studio. Li Shi'an studied painting with Lao Yu for eight years, and ate noodles at Chang Lai noodle shop for eight years.

The owners of the noodle shop are an old couple from the north. The old man’s surname is Chang. They come here to make a living with their son who works in City D. The northerners can make authentic pasta, and their braised beef noodles are especially suitable for Li Shi’an’s appetite.

The chewy and flexible noodles are covered with a thin layer of red oil, with sesame seeds floating on top, and the large pieces of beef are stewed soft and fragrant.

Thinking about it, Li Shi'an really felt that his saliva was about to drool, so he quickly washed up and went out.

Li Shi'an quickly selected the toiletries in the supermarket and bought some pure milk. Although he really doesn't like pure milk in terms of personal preference, he still picked it up and put it in the shopping basket when he thought of Li Qishan's nagging. .

When he walked to the daily necessities area and saw the rows of slippers, Li Shi'an was stunned for a moment. He never thought that his make-up lesson plan lasted only a week before he broke up with Shen Yan. smelly people.

He didn't know if Shen Yan would come to continue their agreement, but he still picked up a pair of fingerless cotton slippers suitable for spring.

After going to the service counter to handle the delivery, Li Shian was going to eat noodles. When he was about to turn into Changlai Noodle Restaurant, he saw a bag on the side of the building not far away. The color and style of the bag were very familiar.

Li Shi'an walked into the building while thinking about where the bag was seen. The elevator came down, and a group of people waiting for the elevator walked into the elevator. Come on, but he's torn between looking over and getting in the elevator right away.

Finally, when Li Shi'an's eyes touched the billboard of the dance school in the elevator, he seemed to have thought of something, and quickly turned around and ran out.

Several people in the alleyway behind the building were frantically swinging sticks at Shen Yan. Before Li Shian had time to think about it, he looked around and saw that there were a lot of building materials in the alley for interior decoration of the building. He found a stick inside and picked it up. He knocked on an iron frame that he didn't know what it was used for, and everyone who was beating jealously turned their heads.

"What the hell are you shooting?" the yellow-haired man he met last time asked, pointing at Li Shi'an's nose.

Naturally, Yu Qiao is the leader of this wave of people. Since the last time he found trouble with Shen Yan and failed to get rid of it, he has been brooding about it, thinking about getting revenge. Started bringing people here to wait.

I don't know if it's his bad luck or Shen Yan's good luck. Both times, he encountered someone who interfered, especially when he saw that the person who interfered this time was Li Shi'an, Yu Qiao thought it was interesting. He wiped Gritting his chin and gnashing his teeth, he said, "Li Shi'an, you want to meddle in your own business, don't you? Why don't you settle our debts too?"

After speaking, he pretended to be threatening and walked towards Li Shi'an.

Li Shi'an knew that Yu Qiao was the kind of dog who couldn't get rid of the virtue of eating shit, so he didn't talk nonsense with him: "I took a video of you fighting just now, or get out now, or I will send the video to the teacher."

Yu Qiao stopped immediately. Both he and Li Shi'an had been punished. If the matter was brought to the Political and Educational Office, his high school career would have to end early.

Yu Qiao is a bastard. There is a father in the family who is in business. Speaking out is also loud.

Yu Qiao's father said that when he fought with Li Shi'an, if Yu Qiao caused trouble again and was fired, he would definitely be kicked.

Yu Qiao was afraid that his father would know that Shen Yan was the one who blocked the school twice, but he would meet Li Shi'an today, and he was almost out of anger anyway, so he threw the stick and said viciously to Shen Yan: "You are lucky!" .”

After speaking, he left with a group of people.

Li Shi'an breathed a sigh of relief, ran over to help Shen Yan and asked, "How is it?"

Shen Yan looked a bit embarrassed, with injuries on his chin and bridge of nose.When he saw it was Li Shi'an, he remembered that the two of them broke up because of making up lessons yesterday. He didn't expect that the other party would still take care of his mess, so he didn't know what to say for a while, so he just said nothing.

Li Shi'an got used to his character, walked a few steps and picked up his backpack and handed it to him: "Are you still going to dance practice?"

Shen Yan took the backpack and shook his head. There were many classes in the dance studio on weekends, and the one-and-a-half-hour lunch break of the dance teachers was his dance practice time. He had already missed it at this moment. If he wanted to come, he had to wait until the dance studio ended at night.

"Then are you going home?" Li Shi'an asked again casually.

Shen Yan shook his head again.

"have you eaten?"

Shen Yan still shook his head.

When Li Shi'an heard that he hadn't eaten, he thought it was easy to do, and said: "Then get up, and go to eat first."

Shen Yan didn't touch the meal that Qu Ya left for Shen Yan last night, and he didn't eat it in the morning. To be honest, he was already starving, so the fight with Yu Qiao and the others just now couldn't do what he wanted. How could a stubborn donkey with a bad temper and a willingness to give up lose?

At this moment, the symptoms of hypoglycemia were even more apparent. The 1.8-meter tall man didn't even have the strength to stand up, so he shook his head again.

Li Shi'an didn't understand this time. Did he ask the three questions about the philosophy of life, or did this guy shake his head into a habit?He asked angrily, "Then what do you want to do?"

Shen Yan bowed his head and remained silent for a long time, asking him to beg someone, he couldn't let go of that face, but if Li Shi'an was really angry and turned away, he might faint here and no one would care.

Unexpectedly, Li Shi'an not only didn't leave, but also asked with some concern: "Aren't you hurt somewhere?"

Shen Yan looked at Li Shi'an, lowered his head and raised his head several times, and held back a sentence for a long time: "I...I can't get up."

Li Shi'an: "..."

Was it that bad?

Supporting a person who is a little taller than him, walking one meter is a physical task for Li Shi'an who is not working hard. After sitting down and ordering two large bowls of beef noodles, I remembered to ask: "You don't have any taboos, do you?"

"No." Shen Yan kept his head down as if he was embarrassed by Li Shi'an's predicament.

Li Shi'an yelled inside: "Uncle Chang, there's no taboo!" Turning around, he found that Shen Yan's face was pale and unreasonable, "Are you sure you're okay?"

Shen Yan pursed his lips and did not answer.

Li Shi'an seemed to have noticed something: "Isn't it hypoglycemia?"

This time Shen Yan still didn't answer, Li Shi'an took it as his acquiescence.

"Let's talk earlier." Li Shi'an patted the table and took out a coffee candy, and when he handed it over, he didn't forget to tear the opening.

Although Shen Yan was embarrassed, it was still important to save his life at this moment, so he reached out to take the candy.When he peeled off the candy wrapper, he took a look. The packaging of this kind of coffee candy was very old-fashioned and didn't look very high-end. It was completely different from the fancy candy packaging nowadays.

Li Shi'an smiled slightly: "Don't worry, I won't poison you to death."

Obviously, Shen Yan wasn't afraid of being poisoned to death, but just thought it was strange for a boy to carry candies with him, and Li Shi'an, who was surrounded by famous brands all over his body, would actually eat such crudely packaged candies?Very strange.

But without saying anything, he just put the sugar into his mouth silently. The taste of coffee sugar is slightly burnt and bitter, not greasy, and he can barely accept it even if he doesn't like sugar.

Li Shi'an took out one out of boredom, he was already very good at eating this candy, with a row of white teeth, he even bit the candy in the package into his mouth, pulled it up, and the candy slid into his mouth.

Smiling with infinite satisfaction while eating candy: "My dad often bought it for me when I was young, and I also remember this taste when I grew up. Later, when most small commodity stores were replaced by chain supermarkets, I rarely saw this kind of candy. There is also online shopping.”

It was the first time for Shen Yan to see such a big person who could laugh like a fool after eating a piece of candy, but at the same time, he felt that such a smile was like a sea breeze wrapped in sunshine, rushing towards his face in a daze, making it hard to resist.

He suddenly wanted to say thank you, but he didn't say it after all.

Although as a student he mainly lives on campus, Shen Yan has no familiar classmates or friends. Maybe he had one or two when he was young and not so withdrawn, but when others were interested in his family , he will take the initiative to alienate, because he doesn't know how to explain to others that the man who is with his mother is called "Uncle" instead of "Dad".

As he grows up, studying and dancing occupy his time every day, and it doesn't seem to matter whether he has friends or not. He is used to being a high school bully and expressing everything he wants to confide in dance.

However, what he didn't know was that it was the snowy night when he and Qu Ya moved to Fu Youwei to have a family. The dance he composed and rehearsed in the snow attracted the young man sitting opposite him at this moment. .

Perhaps in the eyes of a professional dance master, that dance might be childish, but it really shook the heart of a teenager, and because of that dance, he wanted to know the dancer.

Li Shi'an had just shared with Shen Yan his nostalgia for his favorite coffee candy, but Shen Yan stared blankly at the salt jar on the table and began to daze without saying a word. so low?

At any rate, this is the second time I've helped him, and I don't even want to talk to myself. The two talk about whether they are neighbors, classmates, or at the same table, but when they get along, they are always embarrassed from the hair to the toenails.

But looking at the ancient and modern times, the genius seemed to lack a muscle in his mind, and he felt that it was understandable, so he had to sit anxiously waiting for the noodles to be served.

After a few more minutes, the noodles finally arrived. Li Shi'an was a regular customer in the store. The owner, Mr. Chang, remembered his preference and added a lot of coriander. Li Shi'an grabbed the chopsticks and was just about to eat. A bowl of hot green vegetables plus two boiled eggs In front of him, the owner of the noodle shop turned around and hurried away, saying: "They are all young, they need to keep up with their nutrition, they are just at the age of growing their bodies, eating noodles alone is not enough."

"Thank you, Uncle Chang." Li Shi'an yelled inside.

"Thank you!" At this time, the old lady Chang came out after finishing her work inside and said, she has been here for so many years, and she saw that Li Shi'an was alone, and it was the first time to see him bring someone together today, and asked cheerfully: " Yo, is this your classmate?"

"En." Li Shi'an nodded.

"What's wrong with this kid's face?" Mrs. Chang asked a little strangely when she saw the injury on Shen Yan's face.

Shen Yan didn't like talking with people, so he just pretended that he couldn't hear him at this moment, so Li Shi'an could only say nonsense: "Oh, I was bitten by a dog in the alley just now."

Eating does not hinder the ears, I can hear Li Shi'an running the train with his mouth full, Shen Yan: "..."

The old lady Chang worried: "Does the dog need to be vaccinated if it bites?"

Li Shi'an: "...Uh, I'll go after dinner in a while."

Shen Yan: "..."

The old lady Chang asked again: "Is your classmate also learning painting?"

"Oh, he's learning to dance," Li Shi'an looked at Shen Yan who was on the opposite side, although he was still eating with his head down, but he was obviously uncomfortable. Knowing that this guy didn't like people asking about him, he quickly chatted with Mrs. Chang while eating. Chat up.

In fact, he doesn't like to talk, but if he is required to talk on any occasion, he can talk about market news since he came very late this spring, and he will never repeat a topic. Besides, he is familiar with the old couple of the Chang family and can talk about everything .

The two of them didn't end their conversation until a new customer entered the store, and Shen Yan also finished eating. Li Shi'an watched him take out a pack of wet wipes from his bag and wiped his hands, then tore another pack and began to wipe the table.

Li Shi'an: "..."

What kind of cleanliness is this?

After Shen Yan cleared the table and even put the chopsticks neatly, Li Shi'an said, "I'll treat you to this meal." After speaking, he took out his mobile phone to pay.

"No, I'll pay for it myself." Shen Yan didn't appreciate it at all.

Li Shi'an suddenly remembered that a certain person once said that he didn't like to owe others, well, just pay it yourself, and he quickly paid on the phone.

Shen Yan glanced at the price chart posted in the store, and found the prices of noodles and eggs, but he couldn't find the price of hot vegetables.

"How much should I pay?" Shen Yan asked.

Li Shi'an crossed his index fingers for a "ten" and then a "five".

Shen Yan was a little astonished, since the bowl of noodles alone cost 15 yuan, he didn't believe it, so he ran to the back operation room and asked old man Chang, who knew he got the same answer.

"It's free for those who don't count the money." Li Shi'an looked at Shen Yan who still had a puzzled expression after paying the money. Student Shen Yan."

Shen Yan: "..."
