Is the senior going home today?

Xingyue's business is really good.

A group of people passed through the crowded crowd waiting for a seat at the door, and entered a large private room at the top of the second floor, the one Yuan Ze visited for the first time.

Gaopeng led two waiters to work in the private room in person. He put the cold dishes, wine and wine glasses on the table first, and ordered the waiters to start serving hot dishes as soon as the guests arrived.

"Boss, what important person is here today? You came here to greet him yourself." Gaopeng is an easy-going boss, and the waiters are not afraid of him, so they joke around casually.

"There are no big shots, Brother Qian and Brother Yuan." Gao Peng counted the number of tableware again, and put away the wonton cups, red wine glasses, beer glasses and juice glasses in order. The white bone china dishes were matched with tall and short crystal cups , to send a shiny invitation to the guests.

"Just Brother Qian and Yuan, why are you so nervous?" The waiter was puzzled, Brother Qian and Yuan belonged to his family, and the boss always said that Xingyue was the kitchen of his two families.

"Brother Qian invites his classmates and college classmates, so why don't I be serious?" Gaopeng rubbed his hands with a smile, "Give Brother Qian a face."

Just as Lin Qianxing was talking, he opened the door and came in, surrounded by Yuan Ze, followed by 6 or 7 men and women.

"Brother Qian, Brother Yuan," Gaopeng warmly greeted the waiter, while gesturing to the waiter to serve the food quickly, "I don't know what you are drinking, but there is some white wine and beer, and the girls drink calla lily dew. It’s newly developed here, and the evaluation is good.” After speaking, he began to drag the chair out, slightly bent his waist, and invited them to sit down.

"Thank you, Yueyue." Lin Qianxing first introduced Fu Wei, and then introduced each other in turn.

I have been in the society for a long time, especially restaurant owners like Gaopeng, who have seen a lot of people of all levels and grades, and have long practiced a seemingly familiar and practical way of hospitality, compared with the students, they seem to be more mature in the world too much.

His move was useless against Lin Qianxing and Yuan Ze, but it could bluff others.In their view, Gaopeng, as a peer of his age, has already worked hard in society, which is quite convincing.

Boss Gao was so warm and respectful to Yuan Ze and Lin Qianxing, so after some deduction, they were not ordinary.

Take vegetables and drink, and finish the meal lively.

Finally, the waiter brought a large plate of fruit platter and fresh lotus pods. Everyone poked the fruit and peeled the lotus pods, eating to their heart's content.Taking advantage of everyone not paying attention, Fu Wei slipped outside the door and called the waiter, ready to pay the bill.

The little waiter waved his hands repeatedly, telling Fu Wei no need.

"What do you mean no need? Who bought the bill?" Fu Wei asked.

The little waiter squinted his eyes and smiled, "Brother Qian, what else do you need to pay? They are all from our own family."

It turned out to be my family, no wonder the room can be booked with just a phone call, and the boss Xingyue personally ran back and forth to entertain him.

"It's an agreement, I'll treat you." Fu Wei tried to spend the money.Originally, he was determined to treat the guests. The 505 boss celebrated his birthday, so he had to look like a boss.

"Then I don't know, anyway, our boss doesn't charge for this meal."

Fu Wei had no choice but to give up, went into the private room and thanked Lin Qianxing in a low voice, saying that today was his birthday and wanted to treat everyone to a meal, but the money was not spent.Make an appointment to ask for another meal next time.

"Why didn't I tell you earlier, I didn't prepare a birthday present for you." Lin Qianxing whispered, "Happy birthday, boss." Fu Wei smiled and cupped his hands, feeling warm in his heart.

After dinner, a group of people planned to disperse in two groups. Lin Qianxing and Yuan Ze returned to No. 46, and the rest returned to school.

The two of them didn't tell them that Lin Qianxing's house was here. Not everyone could rush into No. 46 like Yuan Ze did. Lin Qianxing was very cautious in this regard.

Fu Wei and the others left first, Lin Qianxing and Yuan Ze called Yueyue over and chatted for a while.

Yueyue called a waiter to come in, cleaned up the table, leaving only fruit and lotus pods, and asked someone to make a pot of jasmine tea and put it on the table.

Taking out three small white porcelain teacups from the electric disinfection cabinet by the wall, Yueyue poured three cups of light yellow tea and put them in front of everyone, "Brother Qian Yuan, try this scented tea, jasmine."

"What's so good about jasmine tea? I don't like scented tea. It tastes like white water." Lin Qianxing picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"It smells good." Yuan Ze picked up the cup and put it on the tip of his nose to smell it, and then took a sip.

"Brother Qian, I picked up the jasmine flowers planted by Sister Yu and dried them in the sun." Yueyue picked up the cup and just smelled it without drinking it, closing her eyes and indulging in it, "Not much, my treasure."

"Yueyue, how are you chasing after my sister?" Lin Qianxing leaned over and grabbed a lotus pod, peeled it off, peeled off a grain of pure white lotus rice, and stuffed it into Yuanze's mouth first.Yuan Ze hid his hands under the table, stroking Lin Qianxing's knee.

Gaopeng: "I go to see her every day when I have free time. Sometimes the shop cooks a new sweet soup or something, and I give her a bowl... I always see Jing Yue by her side," Gaopeng said. Taking small sips of jasmine tea, "You go to your university well, and I will help Sister Yu and my family to watch over you, don't worry..."

"I was asking you about chasing my sister, but I didn't ask you to look after my house." Lin Qianxing frowned, "Hua University is so close, you make me feel like I'm thousands of miles away from home."

Lin Qianxing felt his knees being squeezed hard, turned his head to look at Yuan Ze, Yuan Ze blinked at him, and shook his head slightly.

"Brother Qian, I used to be timid, do you remember?" Gaopeng licked the corners of his lips.

Lin Qianxing didn't speak, got up and went to the disinfection cabinet to get a small bowl, peeled out the lotus rice one by one, and put it into the bowl.

Gaopeng lifted the teapot and poured himself another cup of scented tea, "Brother Yuan doesn't know what happened to us before. Brother Qian is my lifesaver."

Lin Qianxing looked up at Gaopeng, continuing to peel the lotus pod.

"At that time, Brother Qian was in junior high school, right? Second or third year? I was older than him. I didn't go to school after graduating from junior high school. No one was in charge of my family, so I just wandered around outside and followed a gangster to steal chickens and dogs."

"Once I stole a wallet, and the other party was not easy to mess with. They called a group of people to beat me up, and I ran and ran...I ran into Brother Qian on the way after school, and I don't know what he thought. Get into a fight with each other."

"He was only a little older at that time, and he was as thin as a little chicken. He was turned over on the ground by someone, covered in mud and blood... Those people were afraid they would beat him to death. Come back and continue chasing me, I have no choice but to jump into the river.”

"The river beside Danxia Lane is gone now and has been filled. In winter, the river is as cold as a knife. When I jumped down, my legs started to cramp and I couldn't get up."

"I heard people on the shore shouting and calling. After all, steal a wallet. I don't have to die. I don't want to die either. I desperately raised my hands to let them know where I drifted... ..”

"Later, it was Brother Qian who jumped down and dragged me to the shore. Brother Yuan, do you think he is courageous? If P is a little older, if he dares to jump into the river to save people in winter, it will kill him..."

Gao Peng took a sip of tea, held the small teacup with both hands, and turned it around on the table.

"Later, Brother Qian took me to No. 46. His grandfather was still there at that time, and he found me a place to learn how to cook. Later, he gave me money to support me to open a small restaurant, which is the predecessor of Xingyue... This painting It was a gift from the old man when the small restaurant opened." Gaopeng turned his head and pointed to the pair of ink lotus flowers on the wall.

"So Brother Yuan, to tell you the truth, I like Sister Yu, but compared to falling in love with her, I would rather take care of her, just take care of her, take care of her for the rest of my life. And Brother Qian, my life is He saved it, he can do whatever he wants with me, he can do whatever he wants..."

Yuan Ze was holding a teacup to drink tea, he paused, the teacup rested on his lips, twitched the corners of his eyebrows, and looked up at Gao Peng.

Lin Qianxing patted Gao Peng on the shoulder with a "snap", "What the hell are you talking about?"

"Hey, Brother Yuan, I'm just a rough person. Anyway, that's what I mean... If you need my help, just say a word," Gao Peng smiled and touched his shoulder, "I've figured it out too, Jing Yue Better than me, Sister Yu has something to talk to him, and smiles more when she is with him. I just watch her smile."

Yuan Ze squeezed a few lotus rice from the small bowl in front of Lin Qianxing and threw it into his mouth, "I can understand what you mean, but I can't think about it carefully. If I think about it carefully, I will beat someone up."

"I also have the idea of ​​beating someone up." Lin Qianxing pushed the small bowl in front of Yuan Ze, tapped the side of the bowl with his fingers, "Finish this and go home."

Yuan Ze fed two to Lin Qianxing, poured the rest into his mouth, and took Lin Qianxing's hand to stand up.

"Brother Qian Yuan, if you can't eat well in the school cafeteria, you should come to my place to eat. If you don't want to run away, just call and I will find someone to pack it for you to send to school." A man stood by the door and said goodbye.

The two walked along the side of the road towards No. 46, and met Chu Ke at the entrance of the alley.Chu Ke was carrying a yellow cat bag, and a small black and white round head protruded from the transparent circular window of the cat bag.

"Hey, rice wine?" Lin Qianxing leaned over and stared at the cat bag window with rice wine, "Brother Yuan, come and see your brother."

Yuan Ze slapped Lin Qianxing lightly on the back of the head, "Say what?"

"Oh, it's not brother, it's changed, it's the cat's son."

The two of them looked at the rice wine with their heads together, and made "meow meow" sounds in coordination with each other.

"Jiang Ran sent the rice wine to your house?" Lin Qianxing straightened up and asked Chu Ke with a smile.

"Well, just leave the rice wine with me, okay, Brother Qian?"

"Okay, there's nothing wrong with it, Jiang Ran has the final say." Lin Qianxing stood next to Yuan Ze, "Go, go and sit at home for a while."

"No, I'll just wait here for him. Jiang Ran will be here in a while."

Chu Ke opened the cat bag, took out the rice wine and handed it to Lin Qianxing.The two drank rice wine for a while before going home.

When pushing open door 46, he ran into Jiang Ran who was about to go out.Lin Qianxing looked at him puzzled, Jiang Ran looked like he was about to go out, with a big backpack on his shoulder and an oversized suitcase in his left hand.

Lin Yu followed Jiang Ran and kept telling him what to do.Looking up and seeing Lin Qianxing and Yuanze standing at the door, the smile on his face froze for a moment, and he quickly covered it up, "Little Xing, Yuanze, why are you back today? You didn't say hello in advance."

"Where are you going? Jiang Ran." Lin Qianxing walked in and stood in front of Jiang Ran.

Lin Yu gently pushed Jiang Ran's arm, motioning him to tell Lin Qianxing the truth.

She promised Jiang Ran to hide it from Lin Qianxing first, and then tell him after Jiang Ran left.I didn't expect such a coincidence, I ran into it.

"Brother, I'm going back to my own home." Jiang Ran pursed his lips, hooked his fingers around the backpack strap on his shoulder, and stared at Lin Qianxing's black canvas shoes with lowered eyes.

"My home? Isn't No. 46 your home?" Lin Qianxing was puzzled.

"My parents are here, and the police station has looked for me several times." Jiang Ran's voice became lower and lower, "I plan to go back to them."

What Jiang Ran meant was that he was going to leave No. 46 and go to the home that abandoned him?

Lin Qianxing didn't want to use the word "back". What kind of back is Jiang Ran? Has he ever stayed there?What is "Hui", it is called "Hui" after leaving the door of No. 46 and then turning around and coming in.

"Are you fucking crazy?" Lin Qianxing's anger was ignited, he yelled out of composure, and punched Jiang Ran on the shoulder, "They lost you when you were born, and you still go with them now? With that The two bastards go away? What if they want to kill you again? What if I'm not by your side?" Then he raised his fist and beat Jiang Ran.

Yuan Ze clenched his fist and tore it away.Yuan Ze surrounded Lin Qianxing and pushed him towards Xiaohuatai, "Calm down, listen to Jiang Ran, he is not feeling well, can't you see?"

"I don't care if he feels good or not. I don't feel good now...Jiang Ran, you fucking white-eyed wolf. Don't even think about leaving today without giving me a reason." Lin Qianxing pointed at Jiang Ran, blushing and scolding.

He was worried about Jiang Ran, what's the difference between parents who had the heart to abandon their newborn flesh and blood, and animals?Who knows what the dog and man are looking for him to go back to?Jiang Ran is not yet an adult, can he protect himself?

No, he wants to continue to protect his younger brother. Jiang Ran is the safest only in front of him.

Jiang Ran let out a long breath, took off his backpack, put it on the box, walked over step by step, stood in front of Lin Qianxing, his eyes slid across Yuan Ze's face, and finally stopped on Lin Qianxing's face, looking straight Stare at him.

"Brother, are you sure you want a reason? Let me say it in front of Yuan Ze and Sister Yu."

Lin Qianxing's lips moved, but he didn't speak.

"Let me tell Yuan Ze, if you want to know, just ask him." Jiang Ran reluctantly hooked the corners of his mouth and looked at Yuan Ze, "Two minutes for you, I have something to tell you."

"Go in and talk." Yuan Ze pressed Lin Qianxing's shoulder, walked into the small building, and sat down directly at the dining table in the middle hall with Jiang Ran. Yuan Ze spoke first, "Have you thought it through? You Your brother will be very sad when he leaves."

"Yuanze, we are all sensible people. You can see many things more clearly than Lin Qianxing." Jiang Ran sat across from Yuanze and smiled calmly, "Do you know what your advantage is compared to me?"

Yuan Ze tilted his head to look at Jiang Ran, waiting for his answer.

"Your biggest advantage is that you are a stranger, you can fall in love with the current Lin Qianxing, and then confess your love without any scruples."

"But I can't, I dare not, because I don't believe that he can like a man. The wounds on his body were made by men. The one on his arm was cut by his father, and the one on his back was stabbed by his stepfather." " Jiang Ran seemed to feel the pain, his hands were tightly clasped together, and the back of his hand was bruised.

"Stepfather? On the back?"

"Yes, when he was in junior high school, his mother found him a stepfather, who was actually his own father. Lin Qianxing was not close to him, and he was often beaten by his father. Once his father stabbed him with a steel pipe On the back, at the shoulder blades, there's a lot of blood...I've never seen a person bleed that much."

"After the injury healed, he left a very ugly scar. He went to get a lotus flower tattoo... Later we grew up and were taller than his father. His father couldn't beat us, so we took a kitchen knife to kill his father. Kicked out, his mother left with her, and never came back."

It turned out that the scar covered by the lotus flower on Lin Qianxing's back that he had touched countless times was left by another person.

Yuan Ze was speechless.He had never seen such a family, he could not imagine it.Children's fear and helplessness were unsolvable at that time, because they were weak, so they had to endure it.

The person he held in his hands and loved with all his heart had been in such pain before, shivering and crying in a corner.And he didn't know anything, couldn't do anything.

"Yuanze, if you knew this, would you still go after him? The man brought him so much harm, are you still willing to chase him? I don't want to, I'm afraid he will remember the pain before."

Yuan Ze got up.

"You will always be nice to him, won't you, Yuanze? If one day you don't want to be nice to him, can you tell me? I want to be nice to him, and I want to like him."

Yuanze's nose was sour, and he didn't know if it was because of Lin Qianxing or Jiang Ran.

"I didn't tell him about my departure because I didn't dare," Jiang Ran said with an almost invisible smile on his face, "I was afraid that he would keep me, and I was afraid that he would not keep me... If you stand in my position, you can understand this feeling, I don't want to be in such pain, maybe only leaving can relieve...I want to struggle and give it a try."

Yuan Ze raised his eyes, looked at Jiang Ran seriously, and seriously wanted to take out his heart for him to examine. It was a heart that cared about Lin Qianxing.

"Jiang Ran, you are also my younger brother. He and I wish you well, and we will send you to college together next year," Yuan Ze nodded, "You won't forget number 46, right?"

"Well, no, Brother Yuan, this is my home."

......

Chu Ke accompanied Jiang Ran out of Danxia Lane. A black Audi was parked by the side of the road. Two middle-aged men and women stood by the car door. When they saw Jiang Ran, the big stone in their hearts finally fell to the ground. They waved enthusiastically , and ran over to help him move the box into the trunk.

Jiang Ran refused them to approach No. 46, and only asked them to wait by the side of the road.

"Jiang Ran, let me know when you arrive...if you have anything to do, send me a message and call," Chu Ke walked over, put his arms around Jiang Ran, patted his straight back lightly, and whispered to him Said in my ear, "Tell you something nasty...I will miss you."

"Well, it's quite nasty. Take good care of my rice wine," Jiang Ran also reached out and patted Chu Ke's back, then let go, and stood up straight, "Go back, I'm leaving." Jiang Ran opened the rear door and turned sideways sit in.

Not long after, Jiang Ran rolled down the car window again, poked his head out, and stretched out his hand as if to grab something, but he didn't grab anything, so he could only hang powerlessly by the car window, with red eyes and pursed mouth, "Chuck , I kind of want to cry."

Chu Ke trotted for two steps, bent down, grabbed Jiang Ran's slender and drooping hand, looked into his eyes, and suddenly stretched out the other hand to stroke his face, "Cry if you want to cry, don't hold back, I don't tell anyone."

A line of tears fell on Chu Ke's palm...

The black Audi drove away quickly, took Jiang Ran away, and left the rice wine behind.

Chu Ke stood on the side of the road with his rice wine in his arms, staring straight at the traffic until he could no longer see the shadow of the car before turning back.

Inserting his fingers into the long hair of Mijiu, Chu Ke whispered to it while combing Mijiu, "I will accompany you to like others, accompany you to leave me, if you can't be happy, Jiang Ran, I won't Continue to let you be so willful."
