Embroidered Pillows and Paper Tigers

The night view of the city receded quickly on the car window, Li Shi'an and Shen Yan took a taxi back to City D.

On the way, I received a call from Lao Xie. Lao Xie went to pick up Zhu He from get off work. He heard that they both went to City C. He called to ask what they were doing in City C.

Unexpectedly, the two of them didn't know how to answer, so they simply ignored Lao Xie, and Lao Xie was hopping on the other end of the phone. When Zhu He heard that the two of them had returned, he proposed to have a supper together.

Li Shi'an thought, let's go, anyway, if you are idle, you are idle, if he goes, Shen Yan will naturally go too.

Zhu He invited the meal to thank the three friends who helped him. The four ran to eat barbecue. Amidst the smoke and the aroma of barbecue, he said, "Thank you, you are my friends in this life."

This was different from his birthday, there were still so many people, but this time Shen Yan could be counted as "friends".

Lao Xie yelled: "Stop being sensational, drink this cup!"

As soon as Shen Yan picked up the wine glass, Li Shi'an snatched it away: "Don't drink it if you break your stomach, and you!" He yelled at Lao Xie, "The four of us are Zhu He's grown-ups, what kind of wine do you drink? Come."

It's true that he didn't let Shen Yan drink, and Lao Xie suffered a lot by the way.

"What drink?" Lao Xie muttered, "I'm just happy, and besides, it's still summer vacation..."

However, Shen Yan had already run to get the drinks, and he felt a little moved by people's attention, so he sat back honestly and peacefully, his heart was full of joy, and he picked up roasted meat and vegetables for Li Shi'an from time to time.

Li Shi'an only ate the meat in the bowl, Shen Yan saw that his bowl was full of leeks, and suddenly remembered that he said he would not eat leeks, so he took them and put them in his own bowl, emptied the bowl, and added meat.

Seeing this, Lao Xie secretly slandered Zhu He: "How did Shen Yan tolerate Shi'an's picky eaters?"

Zhu He looked puzzled: "He will endure as much as you used to."

Old Xie curled his lips: "...Nonsense, I have never eaten anything he doesn't eat."

Zhu He put down his chopsticks and said, "I can count at least four times you have eaten winter melon for Shi'an, do you believe it or not?"

Lao Xie couldn't imagine it, so he argued, "That's because I like to eat winter melon. Winter melon is not fat, and I never eat leeks."

Zhu He grabbed the chopsticks back: "Then you won't allow Shen Yan to like leeks?"

"..."

Lao Xie was speechless for a while, and then remembered that these two guys went to C City together sneakily, and refused to say anything when they came back, and said to Li Shi'an and Shen Yan: "Why do I always feel that you two are very romantic? "

Old Xie's words made Shen Yan and Li Shi'an's hearts "thump" at the same time. The two looked at each other. Shen Yan knew that he couldn't speak, and was afraid that the more he explained, the more confusing he would be. So he buried his head and ate. Li Shi'an replied to Lao Xie: "An adulterer sees an adulterer."

Lao Xie and Li Shi'an had always behaved like that, leaning against Zhu He with a whisper: "...Hum, come on, little Zhu Zhu, let me feed you a little potato."

Zhu He had already gotten used to it, he just opened his mouth and ate it without looking at it.

Li Shi'an was speechless: "Are we so disgusting?"

Shen Yan had a cold face: "No."

The two bowed their heads to eat, and ignored that bastard Lao Xie.

After eating a meal for two hours, except for Shen Yan, who eats moderately, the other three became frogs.

After the meal, Zhu He ran to pay the bill, but he heard the boss said that it had already been settled. Remembering that Li Shi'an had left the table during the meal, Zhu He said angrily: "I've agreed to invite everyone, why are you like this again?"

Li Shi'an slapped him on the shoulder: "No, when you are admitted to the ideal university in the future, I will definitely give you a good meal and knock back all of the past two years."

Zhu He sighed, and Lao Xie rang the bell twice: "Let's go, lame Zhu."

Zhu He: "..."

Looking at the backs of Lao Xie and Zhu He, Shen Yan took Li Shi'an's hand and walked into the night. Today is considered a good day, even if he didn't catch up with the ballet, it didn't prevent Shen Yan from being happy.

However, his joy only lasted until he went home and went upstairs, because they met Qu Ya and Fu Youcheng downstairs.

"Xiaoyan..." As soon as Qu Ya saw Shen Yan, she came up and grabbed his sleeve and said, "It's okay to play at a classmate's house during the holidays, and the school will start soon, so it's time to go home."

In front of Li Shi'an, Fu Youcheng pretended to be a good stepfather: "Yeah, what do you say about old classmates' homes, I don't know what you think uncle has with you."

Shen Yan pretended that Fu Youcheng was farting, and asked Qu Ya without any shame: "That's not my home, nor yours, when will you leave?"

Fu Youcheng's expression changed, but due to the presence of Li Shi'an, he gritted his teeth and did not speak.

Li Shi'an lowered his gaze when they were talking, and he accidentally saw a bruise on Qu Ya's wrist, afraid of embarrassing Qu Ya, he quickly turned his eyes away.

Qu Ya has always been sensitive to other people's eyes on her. She felt Li Shi'an's sizing up, and shrank her hands into her sleeves uncomfortably. .”

Shen Yan pushed Qu Ya away: "I said that's not my house! Do you want to leave with me?"

"Why are you talking to your mother!" Fu Youcheng supported Qu Ya and yelled at Shen Yan, "Tell me, where do you want your mother to go? Do you have a place for your mother? Ah? Or do you want her?" Let her live with you at a classmate's house?"

Shen Yan said angrily: "This is our business, don't worry about it!"

Fu Youcheng smiled: "Don't worry about it, that's fine, your mother and I are a legal couple. Let me ask you, where do you want my wife to go with you?"

Shen Yan was successfully irritated by Fu Youcheng, and rushed up to fight him, but was hugged tightly by Li Shi'an.

Qu Ya also grabbed Fu Youcheng, and the two people who hadn't twisted together were pulled away. In the confusion, the plastic bag in Qu Ya's hand fell to the ground, and the words "Women and Children of D City" were impressively printed on the plastic bag. Hospital" in large characters.

"Are you sick?" Shen Yan calmed down for a moment. He picked up the bag and wanted to hand it to Qu Ya, but just as he stretched out his hand, Qu Ya grabbed it.

"I'm not sick." Qu Ya dodged her eyes.

Fu Youcheng grabbed Qu Ya and said proudly: "Of course your mother is not sick. She is going to be a mother. If there is a son who has a family and refuses to return, it is better to raise another son, isn't it?"

As if Shen Yan was struck by lightning, he looked at Qu Ya: "When did it happen?"

Qu Ya didn't dare to look at Shen Yan. She was indeed pregnant. At first she didn't think about whether she wanted the child, but Fu Youcheng definitely wanted it. At night, she just felt a little stuffy in her chest, and Fu Youcheng urged her to go. She went to the emergency department of the hospital, but she would run into Shen Yan, which made her very annoyed.

Shen Yan felt that things had become much more complicated than he imagined, and he said selfishly that he didn't want Qu Ya to have this child, because the current situation is that as long as Qu Ya is willing to leave with him, he can graduate in one and a half years. At that time, he would not bind Qu Ya again, but once he had a child, it would be completely different.

He stretched out his hand to pull Qu Ya, wanting to beg her, but just when his hand touched Qu Ya, Fu Youcheng pushed her away, and he pointed to Shen Yan's nose and said, "You'd better be careful, if your mother There was a slip..."

"You have the face to tell me this?" Shen Yan was like a raging lion, angrily pressing Fu Youcheng against the wall of the corridor.

"Xiaoyan!" Qu Ya cried out.

Fu Youcheng didn't let Qu Ya get close. He spread his hands pretending to be innocent, and let Chen Yan hold them down. He didn't even push the gold-rimmed glasses halfway down, and said loudly: "If you have something to say, why do you move your hands? It's a good thing today It's outside, if it's at home, people might think I'm bullying you."

The intentionally raised voice caused the neighbors upstairs and downstairs to open their doors. Li Shi'an was disgusted by Fu Youcheng, and he pulled Shen Yan: "Don't do this, he wants you to beat him."

Shen Yan met Li Shi'an's eyes, gradually loosened his clenched fist and let go.

Only then did Fu Youcheng tug at his collar, push back his glasses, and dragged Qu Ya away first.

When returning home, Shen Yan had been sitting on the shoe stool by the door without saying a word, and Li Shi'an was also leaning against the door, feeling a little heavy in his mind.

Li Shi'an said: "You should go back, if you are at home, maybe the surname Fu will restrain himself."

Shen Yan looked up at him, Li Shi'an explained: "I'm not trying to drive you away."

"I know." Shen Yan nodded, pulled him over, and buried his head on his stomach, "But this is not the root of the problem. The root of the problem is to leave that rotten person, but she refuses."

Li Shi'an was puzzled: "Why?"

There is nothing I can't say now, Shen Yan said with a wry smile: "Money. She feels that she owes me. She always said that I deserve the best. If you have money, you can provide me with a life that she can't provide. She I feel that I am very talented and should go abroad for further studies, and all of these need to be paid for.”

Li Shi'an remembered that when he and Shen Yan were in Zhuang Jing's office, Shen Yan had said that he would go abroad, but now it seems that these are Qu Ya's ideas, and Shen Yan does not accept them at all.

The two hugged like this for a while, and finally Shen Yan decided to go back first.

After Shen Yan left, Li Shi'an felt empty, as if the house was much bigger.When she couldn't sleep at night, she hugged Shen Yan's pillow and rolled all over the bed, when she suddenly heard the sound of the next door knocking on the window.

Li Shi'an hesitated for a moment, got up and ran to the guardrail by the window and knocked three times.

The neighbor replied three times.

Someone upstairs leaned on the window and cursed: "What are you knocking! It's so noisy!"

Li Shi'an smiled, and withdrew his hand that was still about to tap. He went to get the phone, saw Shen Yan and said: [Good night, Shi'an. 】

Li Shi'an: 【Good night. 】

***

The next day Li Shi'an got up early in the morning, washed up and went out, Shen Yan was already waiting for him at the door.

As soon as Li Shi'an came out, Shen Yan saw his doghouse-like hair, stepped forward to stroke him, and said, "Just got up?"

Li Shi'an was scratched by Shen Yan's cautious movements, so he moved away, casually grabbed two handfuls of hair and said, "Mmm."

The two temporarily forgot the unhappiness of last night, and Shen Yan asked as they walked, "Didn't you eat?"

Li Shi'an replied half-deadly: "Yeah."

Shen Yan: "Then you want to rely on breathing to supply energy?"

"Well," Li Shi'an reacted, "What do you mean?"

Shen Yan said, "How can you have the energy to go to class if you don't eat?"

Li Shi'an was not sober enough, and muttered, "I'm in good spirits." After speaking, he yawned a long time.

Seeing his appearance, Shen Yan was worried, so he simply didn't leave, bowed, put his hands on his knees and said, "You're in good spirits, then, well, let's compete to see who will get to school first."

Li Shi'an didn't know what kind of international practice this was, and if he didn't agree with each other, he wanted to compete?

But when he was in a daze, Shen Yan had already run out, and Li Shi'an had no choice but to chase after him. He, who was not working hard, couldn't catch up with Shen Yan at all. Halfway through the run, he broke down and gasped, watching Shen Yan ride away. From Juechen's back, he cursed: "This guy's EQ... If he likes a girl, he probably won't be able to catch her in his life."

Those who were left behind slowly approached the school gate, classroom doors, and the classrooms had been cleaned. When the class monitor saw Li Shi'an, he complained: "Wechat group said that we have to clean up half an hour earlier today, why are you here now. "

"I forgot, I'm sorry, Squad Leader." Li Shi'an grinned. The squad leader had nothing to do with him, rolled his eyes and left.

Li Shi'an didn't forget it, he just broke out from the sequelae of not sleeping late during the winter vacation, Zhu He's leg hadn't been cast yet, and Lao Xie was close to his house, so he took full responsibility for picking him up from today onwards, Li Shi'an canceled the alarm clock yesterday, and then Just overslept.

He walked back to his place to put things away, and felt that there was something in the belly of the table. He saw a box of pure milk and an egg.

At the same time, Shen Yan's mobile phone received a winking emoji sticking out his tongue, plus a sentence: [Will you run with me tomorrow? 】

I don't even want to kill me, Li Shi'an thought to himself.

"What are you laughing at?" Old Xie turned his head and saw Li Shi'an smirking with an egg in his hand.

"Is there?" Li Shi'an said with a serious face.

Old Xie's mind was full of Li Shi'an's silly smile: "...are you in love?"

"I'm in love with you." Li Shi'an put away the phone with a guilty conscience.
