Yama

Ji Qiao sat on the sofa, wiped her wet hair with a big towel, and turned her head to look at the room she was in.

In addition to a large bed and a wardrobe in the room, the refrigerator in the kitchen and the table, chairs and sofa in the living room should be all the furniture here, which is too simple and almost rudimentary.

Presumably, this person should live here these days.

The door of the bathroom opened, and Yan Cheng also came out after taking a shower, wearing brand new loose home clothes, and sat down next to Ji Qiao.

Seeing that Ji Qiao's gaze fell, Yan Cheng smiled and said, "I moved here because I lacked some things, and I will add more slowly later, anyway, there is no rush."

Ji Qiao didn't speak, Yan Cheng looked at his expression, and brought out a beautifully packaged gift box from under the coffee table, opened layer by layer to reveal the tiramisu cake inside, Yan Cheng removed the candle on the side, carefully inserted it in the On the cake, it was lit with a lighter, and the weather was already dark after a thunderstorm, which made the two flickering fires in the small room particularly conspicuous.

Ji Qiao stared intently at the candle with two numbers "1" and "8", but the sight in her eyes seemed a little distracted.

Yan Cheng smiled helplessly, leaned over to blow out the flames for Ji Qiao, picked up a knife and carefully divided the cake, picked a piece with blueberries and hazelnuts and placed it in front of Ji Qiao.

"I'm actually quite contradictory. I don't really want to come to you at this time, but..." I couldn't help it.

When Yan Cheng came out of the house, he was naturally looking forward to meeting Ji Qiao as soon as possible, but he didn't want to let the other party see that he was a bit down now, and hoped that he could settle down, but as Ji Qiao's birthday approached, After all, Yan Cheng didn't control his legs.

"Every time you stopped two steps when you passed downstairs, I knew you must have found me." Yan Cheng smiled brightly, as if this was something worth showing off.

The coolness on Ji Qiao's face was slightly dissipated by his shining expression, but she quickly gathered back, her lips were tightly pressed, and she did not relax no matter what.

Yan Cheng directly touched his face, feeling the soft and moist skin under his fingertips, "Don't look like this, this is my own choice, and it has nothing to do with you."

Ji Qiao paused for a moment, and finally said, "What did you say?" And at home...

How do you say...

Yan Cheng also thought about what to say before the incident happened. Although he knew that the scene would probably get out of control, he still naively wanted to make the process as less violent as possible. Impossible to walk confidently.

Yes, Yan Cheng planned to leave from the very beginning, and he also expected that Yan Hongzuo would say, "If you leave this house, don't even think about coming back." If it was possible, who would want to make trouble like this? Knowing that they won't compromise, and he himself won't compromise, that's the only way he can choose. It really doesn't solve the problem for him to calm down and make a long-term plan. The whole family has completely different positions from him, and no one can understand his feelings. , Yan Cheng didn't ask for empathy.

When he came back to Tanzhai from outside that day, his grandmother was already sitting in the living room waiting for him. Compared with Yan Hongzuo, Yan Cheng was actually more afraid of facing his grandmother, and facing her disappointed and sad eyes.

As soon as she entered the door, she saw the gloomy expression of grandma. She looked up at Yan Cheng for a long time and said, "Why are you joking about your own future?"

Yan Cheng's heart tightened, and he said in a low voice, "I'm sorry..."

Grandma shook her head, "I'm not the one you're sorry for, Yan Cheng, what are you sacrificing, do you even know?"

The shame on Yan Cheng's face subsided a little, "I know."

"Do you really know?"

Facing the questioning, Yan Cheng suddenly said, "Grandma, if Ji Qiao were a girl today, would you still think I'm stupid? In my heart, he is just a person. I can give up a good school, but I can't give up on him. "

"Do you think I don't understand? I know more about feelings at this age than you!" Grandma also said loudly, "But you are not ready, Yan Cheng, I don't ask you to give up right away, and I won't tell you about those long-winded talks about what will happen in the future. How, how, but have you really thought about it, can you bear the completely distorted life in the future?"

"I can," Yan Cheng said firmly, without giving in, "I chose this path myself, and I know what to do!"

Young people are the most fickle. Young people always feel that their decisions are forever. Young people are not afraid of heaven and earth. He can't see the thorns and fog ahead, he can only see the joy in front of him.

Grandma took a deep breath, knowing that she couldn't persuade her to come back, she was silent for a while, and then said, "Wait, not now, you two have been separated for a few years, if you still think so after a few years, Ji Qiao won't be him If you choose, then your grandfather and I will never stop you again."

Yan Cheng was stunned, he could tell from the tangled expression on grandma's face that she wasn't talking nice words, and it wasn't a tactic to delay the attack, but a sincere suggestion.Yan Cheng said it was a lie that he wasn't moved, he thought, at least his grandmother was willing to give him a chance, and didn't completely cut off his escape route.

However, this is still not what Yan Cheng wanted. If Yan Cheng could wait, he wouldn't have to suffer so hard. God knows how exhausted he was during this period of estrangement from Ji Qiao. He didn't know it himself. How did you survive? If you have to wait another five or ten years, and bear the burden of losing Ji Qiao anytime and anywhere, Yan Cheng doesn't know what's the point of this. Going around is nothing but wasting time. Apart from torturing his nerves, what else has he gained?

Yan Cheng was unwilling, and he couldn't afford to wait.

So all he can say to his grandmother is the repeated "I'm sorry..."

……

Back in City A, the faces of Old Master Yan and Yan Hongzuo were certainly not good-looking. The first time they saw Yan Cheng, Old Master Yan said, "Your wings have grown hard..."

He had always spoiled Yan Cheng, never had he spoken in such a harsh tone, it showed how angry he was at the moment.

Yan Cheng just kept his eyebrows down and said nothing, Old Master Yan threw his college entrance examination application on the table, "You think well, I trust you too much, Yan Cheng."

Yan Cheng’s first choice was indeed filled with A University as the old man had expected, but in the one he gave to the teacher, he filled in the best department of A University. One column is marked with a bright big cross. As far as Yan Cheng's score line is concerned, the crane's tail is barely able to get in. Even if the old man tries to do something, he must first get people in before moving, but he really didn't expect Yan Cheng to be so good at it. It's just that he pretended to be too obedient before, which paralyzed the vigilance of the old man who has always loved him.

In fact, it's not too late to send people in now, but he still has to obey his grandson's upturned scales first, and his Yan family can't afford to lose face like this.

However, Yan Cheng didn't give them the slightest chance. No matter how the old man asked, scolded them, or spoke righteously, he never said a word from the beginning to the end.What's the point of talking about it? In their eyes, their feelings and values ​​are ridiculous, worthless, even crazy and naive, and should be completely killed. No matter how much he explains, no matter how much he expresses. Meaningless.

But his attitude is bound to cause a fierce backlash. Sure enough, the old man slapped the table and said to Yan Cheng, "I don't care what you think, you can go to this school, or you can go to this school. Do you think there is nothing I can do if I don’t move you?” Yan Cheng knew what it meant as soon as the word "you" was uttered. How can he challenge the Yan family with his current ability? Yan Cheng is like a mirror in his heart, but I really heard it, it felt like a slash on my heart, and someone directly grabbed and sprinkled salt on it, not just because they wanted to hurt Ji Qiao, but because it was Yan Cheng's closest relative who said this. people.

Yan Cheng's expression froze all of a sudden. He looked at Mrs. Yan and then at Yan Hongzuo, without moving for a while.

Mrs. Yan thought that the threat had worked, and wanted to say a few words of warning to make him reflect. After all, this child is too young, but he is not timid.

Who knows, Yan Cheng suddenly spoke again.

Old Master Yan was taken aback for a moment, then looked at his grandson in surprise.

Yan Hongzuo also frowned, and he said coldly, "What did you say?"

Yan Cheng's eyes were cold and serious, and he had faintly formed the similar imposing manner of the two in front of him. He slowly repeated what he said just now.

Yan Cheng said, "That's useless."

"It's useless? You can try it." Yan Hongzuo said this more loudly than Mrs. Yan.

Yan Cheng's expression remained unchanged, and the glimmer of light in his eyes dimmed, "If you threaten me with Ji Qiao, I will have to back down, but do you think this is as you wish? My life is my own, Life is also mine, if I want to live a bad life, a decadent life, or a decadent life, in fact it doesn’t matter if there is Ji Qiao or not, even if you send me to A University, I want to die, I want to live like a human or a ghost in the future I still have the final say, you can send someone to watch me 24 hours a day, but how many years will you be able to watch? I will always find a chance to choose by myself, no matter what the cost. When the time comes, will the Yan family's face be different?"

As soon as these words came out, not only Old Master Yan blew his beard and stared with anger, but Yan Hongzuo's entire face darkened.

Yan Cheng hadn't finished speaking yet, "You know I'm not joking, you can try too..."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yan Hongzuo slapped him in the face!

That slap was actually not serious, at least Yan Cheng didn't feel much pain, more like numbness, but this was the first slap he got in his life, when he was an adult.

"Do you think you are amazing? Well, since you want to degenerate so much, then show me your skills. From now on, if you take a step away from Yan's house, don't even think about coming back!"

Yan Hongzuo withdrew his hand, and the expression on his face quickly returned to the original one. When he said this, his tone was indifferent, his expression did not change, but his eyes were cold.

All kinds of feelings in Yan Cheng's heart were all mixed up at once, his fists were loosened and tightened, and after a long while, he took a big step back and walked out of Yan's house.

Before leaving, he glanced at his grandfather and said softly again, "I'm sorry..."
