The Spring of Prince Syndrome

During the Spring Festival holiday in 05, they went home together, Tan Ruikang brought Lin Xi back, and Zhao Guogang invited everyone to have a meal.This time Shu Yan finally came, Lin Xi's character was very cheerful, she could talk to everyone, she maintained proper politeness with Shu Yan, but she didn't show excessive intimacy.

Everyone was very happy during the dinner, only one person far away thought this scene was really ridiculous——

One by one is not talking to the heart, each thinks his own way, and because of the reason of face, they are forced to get together. Sitting at such a big table, don't you feel awkward?

Humans are a bunch of hypocritical animals.

According to rational thinking, Yuanyuan knew that he should smile, participate in their topics, talk about current hot events, talk about the future and life, everyone is pretending, at least he should give Zhao Guogang some face and pretend.Instead of being like a depressed patient, without saying a word, sitting in the corner with a dead mother expression, destroying such a beautiful picture of family reunion.

It is expected that Zhao Guogang deserved to be unlucky, knowing that calling him here made the atmosphere very tense, but he had to call him along.

Far away thought about it and laughed.

Zhao Guogang said, "What are you laughing at, baby?"

Yuan Yuan said, "I'm not laughing at anything, I'm having fun."

Zhao Guogang smiled and said, "Where's your girlfriend? Why don't you let her come back with you?"

Yuan Yuan: "She has something to do at home, let's bring it back during the summer vacation."

Zhao Guogang said: "Xiao Xi doesn't have to worry about work. If you want to come to Shenzhen to work in the future, uncle will introduce you to work."

Lin Xi smiled and said, "I have to ask my family about it. My parents are only my daughter. Thank you uncle first."

After a few mouthfuls of food, Yao Yuan took out a picture album, sat down and looked down, and only said less than five sentences from the beginning to the end.His presence was abrupt and out of place. Without him, maybe these four people would be much more harmonious.

"What book are you reading?" Lin Xi approached with a smile and asked in a very soft voice.

"The Story of Bugua, a few meters away." Yuan Yuan replied in a low voice, "I'll leave when I'm full, and you guys eat slowly."

Both Tan Ruikang and Zhao Guogang were stunned, Zhao Guogang could only say: "Check out, everyone go back to rest early, Ruikang, you take Xiaoxi to the Window of the World to play in a few days..."

Tan Ruikang said: "Xiaoyuan wait, let's go back together."

Zhao Guogang went to checkout, Tan Ruikang went to drive, Lin Xi took the bag and chatted with Shu Yan, tied the scarf, and walked forward to hold Yuan's hand.

The two went downstairs and stood in the cold wind, Zhao Guogang also went to drive, Shu Yan stood on the other side of the steps, staring at the bustling night outside in a daze.

"Guess what she's thinking?" Yuan Yuan asked Lin Xi in a low voice.

"Hmm..." Lin Xi smiled and said, "Don't guess what a woman is thinking."

"She must hate me even more now, and I broke up a meal just like that." Yuan Yuan whispered.

Lin Xi couldn't laugh or cry: "By the way, do you have a sense of accomplishment now? Brother, sometimes I really don't know what to say about you..."

Yuanyuan said: "They can obviously continue to eat, why bother?"

Lin Xidao: "My family has several excellent relatives, and I don't want to talk to them every year when I go back for dinner. But I definitely dare not be like you."

Yuanyuan said: "So you are very mature, I am immature, you are all adults, I am still a child, now my dad is probably thinking in his heart, I will never grow up."

The Chery QQ drove over, Yuanyuan whispered: "You will sit in the front row later."

Lin Xi said, "It's okay, isn't it the same?"

Yuanyuan said: "No, you listen to me, otherwise that girl will have something to say when she gets home."

Lin Xi nodded, sat in the co-pilot seat, and Yuan Yuan sat in the back row. Tan Ruikang turned his head and said, "Xiao Yuan, you..." As he spoke, he met Lin Xi's innocent eyes.

Yuanyuan and Lin Xi laughed together, Tan Ruikang was taken aback, and Yuanyuan said: "Let's go home."

On the same day, Tan Ruikang sent Yuanyuan home first, and then sent Lin Xi to the hotel.

Yuanyuan thought that Tan Ruikang might not be coming back today, so he went to take a bath and lay on the sofa to read.Lin Xi is not in Shenzhen for the Chinese New Year, and will go back to her own home in a few days. It is estimated that Yuanyuan and Tan Ruikang will spend the Spring Festival again.

Yuanyuan originally wanted to send Tan Ruikang away and let him go to Lin Xi's house for the Spring Festival.

At 11:30, Tan Ruikang came back.

Yuanyuan said: "I thought you wouldn't come back."

Tan Ruikang said: "Come back to sleep."

Yuanyuan said: "Didn't you have that with her?"

Tan Ruikang shook his head, didn't speak, and seemed to be in a bad mood.

Yuan Yuan said: "What's wrong? Are you quarreling again?"

Tan Ruikang said, "No."

It must have been a quarrel. Yuanyuan knew that Lin Xi and Tan Ruikang would also quarrel, and he had seen it at least three times.Sometimes they come together to look for Yuan Yuan, without talking to each other, Lin Xi chats with Yuan Yuan, leaving Tan Ruikang aside.

Sometimes it was Lin Xi who suddenly came over to play with Yuanyuan, and Tan Ruikang sent text messages everywhere to find someone, and Yuanyuan didn't know until the text was sent to Yuanyuan's mobile phone.

Another time, Tan Ruikang and Yuanyuan said, "Your sister is angry, and you coax her to ignore me. What should I do? How did you coax Qingqing when she was angry?".

Quarrels belong to quarrels, but Lin Xi has never reprimanded Tan Ruikang in front of Yuanyuan, nor dragged Yuanyuan into the water, and Yuanyuan never took the initiative to ask her, and did not get involved in their emotional problems, just let nature take its course.

Yuanyuan is very easy to coax, as long as he can feel that the other party is sincerely apologizing, he will usually forgive him.But Lin Xi was different. She always thought that the process of quarreling made her feel bad, and she had to find something happy to do by herself to make her feel better.

As for why they quarreled, it is not clear from afar, probably there are different reasons every time.

That night Lin Xi didn't call to ask Tan Ruikang if he was home, and Tan Ruikang didn't call her either.Yuan Yuan felt that it seemed serious, so he reminded Tan Ruikang a few words, and Tan Ruikang said: "It's okay, you can't let her petty temper go, just leave it alone."

Tan Ruikang went to bed after smoking a cigarette, drove Lin Xi to the airport the next morning, and came back in less than half an hour. Yuanyuan was still sleeping. Hearing the sound outside, he came out to take a look in a daze. Seeing that Tan Ruikang was in a bad mood , Sitting at the table in a daze.

"She left first?" Yuan Yuan said.

"Yes." Tan Ruikang said.

Yuanyuan thought he deserved it, what kind of love is he, he didn't have to find trouble for himself, he deserved it, Tan Ruikang had a quarrel in love, and seeing him depressed, Yuanyuan felt a little happy watching Tan Ruikang being bullied.

However, Yuanyuan still felt sorry for rolling around on the bed, so he called Lin Xi.

"Sister." Yuanyuan said.

Lin Xi: "My sister has gone back. I will bring you delicious food when school starts. Don't tell your brother that he has no share."

Yuan Yuan said: "Don't quarrel, my brother is very good, he is crying in the living room."

Lin Xi: "Yes, yes, but you think he is good at everything. You are used to your brother's bad temper. Will he cry? The sun is coming out from the west."

Yuanyuan smiled and said, "He cares about you very much, why are you angry?"

Lin Xi: "Well, I really care if I care. It's useless to just talk about it and not do it. Forget about it, my sister is on the plane, let's talk about it later."

Yuanyuan hung up the phone and asked Tan Ruikang what was the matter, but Tan Ruikang didn't say anything, Yuanyuan ignored him.

He vaguely expected that Tan Ruikang and Lin Xi would break up, but this idea was too much, and sometimes Yuanyuan wanted to slap himself a few times. Lin Xi was so kind to him, how could he want them to break up?

Tan Ruikang was not in a good mood during the winter vacation, and he didn't call Lin Xi. When he was surfing the Internet, he used Taobao to buy a gift for Lin Xi, and asked the store to write "Don't be angry, I love you" in the notes.

The gift was an electric toy monkey with gongs and drums, which was completely in Tan Ruikang's style. Yuanyuan thought that when Lin Xi turned on the switch, the monkey would probably lose its temper when it spun around everywhere.

Yuanyuan told Tan Ruikang, and Tan Ruikang couldn't laugh or cry. After seeing the picture of the monkey and confirming the delivery, Tan Ruikang called Lin Xi, and the two reconciled.

Yuan Yuan thought to himself that he was really an idiot, both bitter and idiot.

When 2005 came, Qingqing moved to the Zhuhai campus, and Yuanyuan went to class alone, ate, finished class, and finished the last subject in the summer vacation. Four will come.

Nearly half of the classmates went to find internships during the summer vacation, and Yuan Yuan’s grades were neither good nor bad. The internship unit introduced by the teacher was not available to him, and he did not take the initiative to ask.

Tan Ruikang was going to Dongguan's automobile assembly plant for an internship, while Lin Xi went to a Japanese company with an internship form.

After passing the distant sixth level, he sent a text message to Tan Ruikang and packed up his things to go home.

When I returned home, I was still tidy, and the floor was spotless. After staying at home for a few days, Yuan Yao went out and sat in a minibus, wandering aimlessly.

He got off the car at the gate of No. [-] Middle School, and wanted to go back to see his alma mater, but his alma mater had changed a lot. The new school gate was magnificently built, and the playground was also changed. The basketball court was covered with a layer of glue, and the glue was covered with plastic. Cloth, the entire teaching building has been painted once, and new bracket windows have been installed.

He stood outside the railing and looked, this is not the alma mater he knew, all memories are gone.

He went to the milk tea shop in front of the school to buy milk tea. The girl behind the counter was still there. Five years later, she was no longer as green as she was when she was young.

Yuanyuan was drinking milk tea and walking on the road, and walked into a Carrefour at the gate of a community, ready to buy some instant noodles, snacks and so on to go back.

He was pushing the cart to buy in front of the shelf, and saw a man pushing the cart. There was a child sitting on the shopping cart. The child was white and cute, with small arms and legs sticking out of the cart, calling Dad, pointing The colorful candies on the shelves let him buy them.

Zhao Guogang said: "When did you come back? Didn't you say you are still taking the exam?"

Looking at the child from a distance, he said, "I finished the exam a long time ago, I just didn't tell you. This is your son?"

Zhao Guogang said, "Call me brother."

The child called brother, Yuanyuan smiled, pinched his face, originally wanted to use some strength with his hands, but after thinking about it, the child was not wrong.

Zhao Guogang bought a pack of colored lollipops for his youngest son, and also bought packs for Yao Yuan, one for each of them.

Zhao Guogang: "Break up? Why do you look like you have a grudge against someone?"

Yuan Yuan said, "Well, we broke up."

Zhao Guogang said: "Look for another girlfriend? Your Uncle Xie always wants to marry his daughter to you, and introduce him to you?"

Yuan Yuan said, "Is it beautiful? Don't want to be too beautiful."

Zhao Guogang said: "Not very beautiful, but educated and reasonable, with temperament."

Yuanyuan: "Isn't it beautiful, let alone."

Zhao Guogang: "..."

Yuan Yuan laughed and said, "I don't want to get married anymore."

Zhao Guogang: "You don't want to get married? When will Dad have a grandson?"

Yuanyuan said: "You are not qualified to say this, well, let him get married, it's not too late when you are over 60 and have a grandson."

Yaoyuan gestured to Zhao Guogang's youngest son.

Zhao Guogang said disapprovingly: "You are still young, when you are old, you want to get married."

Yuanyuan said: "Well, I don't always grow up. Let's end this topic and talk about something else. It's not good to make him cry when we quarrel later. Children's hearts are very fragile, and they tend to leave shadows."

Zhao Guogang said: "China's guiding ideology is Confucianism. The reason why 'benevolence' is called 'benevolence' is because it represents two people. As an independent individual, a person is shown through the relationship between people. Know that Why are you always treated like a child? You don't start a family, get married, you don't grow up in the eyes of your parents, you are still a child, you don't count as an independent person. You only count when you build a complete family Only when you have truly left your parents' home and entered the society, you have completed the step that must be taken as an adult. Parents can rest assured."

Yuanyuan took the can and said, "Go to NND Confucianism guiding ideology. Doctrine of the mean, prudent independence, and dual-purpose, all to his grandma. Roll as far as you want. If you don't want to change the subject, I will go first."

Zhao Guogang: "How is your brother and his girlfriend doing?"

Yuanyuan said: "It's okay, he didn't say much about her. My sister-in-law is very nice."

Zhao Guogang laughed and said, "My sister-in-law has been called."

The two father and son pushed the car, passed by the car selling soda, Yuan Yuan said: "Let's change the subject, how are you doing recently?"

Zhao Guogang said: "It's okay, that's it."

Yuan Yuan said, "My company hasn't been poached by that woman, has it?"

Zhao Guogang said with a smile: "I haven't been poached, but my father lost some money by speculating in stocks."

Yuan Yuan said, "How much did you lose?"

Zhao Guogang: "Not much."

Yuanyuan: "Have you bottomed out?"

Zhao Guogang pondered for a while, and said, "June 6, the lowest point in the history of the Shanghai stock market, 6 points."

Yuan Yuan: "You didn't sell it, did you?"

Zhao Guogang: "Sold part of it."

Yuanyuan smiled, and said after a while: "Look, I'm still right. When things are extreme, they will be reversed. If the cathode is positive, the opposite will lead to the movement of the Tao. When Confucius sees Lao Tzu, he should respectfully ask him for advice and give him two wax geese. Why don't you trust the patriarch, but trust the apprentice?"

Zhao Guogang smiled, not arguing with Yuanyuan.

The two lined up to the cash register.

Zhao Guogang: "I'll do it."

Yuanyuan: "Well, come on, I'm not married anyway, Confucius said I'm not human."

Zhao Guogang paid the bill, came out with the child in one hand and snacks in the other, and said far away, "Let's go."

Zhao Guogang said: "Dad will take you home."

Yuanyuan said, "I know the way myself."

Yuan Yuan stopped a taxi and got in the car to go back.

His summer vacation was very boring. When Tan Ruikang came back in mid-July, he still watched TV and chatted with him, talked a lot less far away, and lay down and read a book almost silently for a long time. Tan Ruikang had to answer the phone every night, and Lin Xi Call up.

"Xiaoyuan, don't you contact Qingqing?" Tan Ruikang said.

"We broke up." Yuan Yuan said, "I plan to rent a house next semester and move out by myself."

Tan Ruikang: "Break up?! Why didn't you tell me?"

Yuan Yuan smiled and said, "She went to Zhuhai campus, I don't think I like her very much, unlike you guys, the relationship is always very good, so we split up."

Tan Ruikang said: "She... did you do anything to other girls? What did she say when we broke up?"

Yuan Yuan smiled and said: "She said 'oh, goodbye, come out and play together when I have time'."

Tan Ruikang: "..."

Yuanyuan said: "We haven't opened a room, don't worry."

Tan Ruikang nodded and said, "That's good, keep yourself clean."

Yuanyuan hummed and said, "I've always kept myself clean."

This is the end of the matter of Yuanyuan's love. A few days later, Tan Ruikang said: "Xiaoyuan, how about we rent a house together next semester?"

Yuanyuan said: "Forget it, Qingqing and I have reconciled, and we don't need anyone to accompany us."

Tan Ruikang: "Reconciled again?"

Yuan Yuan: "Yes, she misses me again, I think I still like her, so we made up."

Tan Ruikang: "..."

"Okay." Tan Ruikang lost his temper.

After a few days, Tan Ruikang said: "You two are reconciled, don't you want to call and chat?"

Yuanyuan: "Oh, I think we are still not suitable, so we broke up again."

Tan Ruikang: "Are you kidding me! Is it fun to toss about my concern?"

Yuanyuan laughed, looked at Tan Ruikang from behind a book, and sighed after a long time.

"Don't worry about it." Yaoyuan said, "You have to worry about everything. Ever since you came to my house, you have taken care of everything..."

Tan Ruikang: "..."

Yuanyuan said: "I'm not saying that it's bad, brother, I love you very much, but you are like this...how can I grow up? Can you give me a little independent space? I also have my own life."

Tan Ruikang was silent for a long time, and then said: "Brother, you have grown up, and you feel that you have changed a lot in the past few years."

Yuanyuan didn't answer, and continued to read his book. Two hours later, Tan Ruikang asked, "Brother, what are you reading?"

"Jimmy's book." Yuanyuan said, ""Photography Book", you can read it, it's pretty good."

Tan Ruikang got up, Yuanyuan threw the book to him, and went back to take a nap.

Yuanyuan may not need Tan Ruikang to tutor him anymore in this life. He already knows how to study by himself, and Tan Ruikang has passed CET-[-] but not CET-[-]. Lin Xi will accompany him to review English when he comes back from summer vacation. She lives with a classmate in Shenzhen Home, come here to play at distant homes from time to time.

He planned to rent a house on Changzhou Island after returning to Guangzhou, spend the last year there, and then leave Guangdong Province, find a city in the north to live and work, leave here completely, and start a new life.

In August, when Tan Ruikang came back from buying vegetables, he washed his hands and was about to cook. Lin Xi was choosing vegetables at the dining table, and Yuanyuan came out of the room and said, "Dad."

Tan Ruikang stood in the kitchen and replied, "Say."

Lin Xi laughed, Yuanyuan couldn't laugh or cry, and realized that he was wrong. He called Tan Ruikang in the kitchen as his father all day long. It was purely a habit, and he didn't correct him every time he called Tan Ruikang.

"Grandma, who do you like." Lin Xi motioned to watch the Super Girl on TV far away: "Someone has a nosebleed again."

Yuan Yuan has always been called this exclusive title by Lin Xi, and he doesn't mind, saying: "Every time this kind of event is made like a disability rating conference by the host... I think Zhou Bichang is pretty good."

"She is from Shenzhen. It is said that she is from Xinghai next door." Lin Xi smiled and said, "Did you see her when you were selling milk tea? Did you also wear black-rimmed glasses?"

"I seem to have seen her before." Yuanyuan looked at Zhou Bichang and his opponent PK on stage, and said, "But she shouldn't be from our South Campus... Let me see?"

"Sing as much as you want...sing loudly..."

"Who do you support?" Yuan Yuan asked.

"Jane Zhang." Lin Xi smiled and said, "Her English songs are really nice."

"I think her arms are very thick..." Yuan Yuan said, Lin Xi smiled and raised her arms to show him, saying, "It's as thick as mine."

"What's the matter?" Tan Ruikang smiled in the kitchen, "Xiao Yuan, what did you just ask me to do?"

Yuan Yuan cut to the point: "Oh yes, how much money do we have?

Tan Ruikang said, "What's the matter? What do you want to buy?"

Yuan Yuan said: "How many, you tell me first."

Tan Ruikang frowned and said, "Tell me what you want to buy first."

Lin Xi got up and went to the balcony to collect the clothes, and said far away, "Tell me how many you have first."

Tan Ruikang came out of the kitchen, sat at the table, and said, "There are 20."

Yuan Yuan said: "Give me ten thousand."

Tan Ruikang said: "It's okay to give it to you, but you have to make it clear first what you want to use it for."

Yuanyuan said: "Stock trading, didn't you say before that I will take care of all the money in the future? I can help you take care of the money now."

Tan Ruikang said with a smile: "How can I have my own money? It's all your money. The penny my aunt left for you hasn't been touched. I'll transfer it to you in the afternoon. Can I make money?"

Yuanyuan said: "You care so much, if you can't make money, you won't give it to me?"

Tan Ruikang didn't say anything, and replied: "Well, you have the final say, and I will transfer it to you in the afternoon."

Yuanyuan went out and opened an account again, transferred the account, transferred [-] to the new card, and set up third-party custody.

He opened the stock account, and with great wisdom, his breath trembling slightly, he placed an order first, selected a stock that Zhao Guogang liked a long time ago, and bought [-] shares.

"Xiaoyuan knows how to speculate in stocks." Lin Xi laughed.

Tan Ruikang said outside: "He is very powerful."

Yuanyuan said, "You haven't seen me before and you know how powerful I am. Do you want to teach you?"

Lin Xi said, "Tell me, I'll learn."

Yuanyuan slowly taught her to look at fundamentals, price-earnings ratio, etc. After talking for a long time, he finally said: "Actually, I don't know how to speculate. Anyone who really knows how to speculate can make money in a bear market. When I was young, I watched my dad buy stocks. I was curious and followed suit. Learn. Only when everyone is making money, we little rookies who don't understand can follow suit."

Lin Xi smiled and said: "When I went back from the summer vacation, my mother, my aunt, and my uncle were all talking about losing their lives."

Yuan Yuan replied, "Is that so, has your mother bought one before?"

Lin Xi smiled and said: "No, someone else pushed her, saying that it's a low point now. Can I tell her what stocks you buy for her reference?"

Yuanyuan nodded and said, "Even my dad lost money. It's indeed a low point, but a low point doesn't necessarily mean that you can make money. Let's see again. Don't tell her now, wait until I figure out what's going on."

"How much did uncle pay?" Tan Ruikang asked.

Yuanyuan said: "A few million."

Both Lin Xi and Tan Ruikang were startled, and there was a sound of a spatula falling from the kitchen.Yuanyuan looked at it for a while, and said, "Okay, let's put it away for now, and look at it in a few days."

So no matter.

After the summer vacation, the stock market is still half-dead, and everyone is starting to plan ahead and look for jobs.Yuanyuan went to the living quarters on Changzhou Island, and the house he and Tan Ruikang rented when he was a freshman was still there.He went to the property and asked the owner's phone number. The landlord is a Hong Kong native. The previous tenant had just left for summer vacation, so Yuanyuan rented it without saying a word.

The house is a mess, I don’t know how many people have lived there, the window sills are thick with dust, Yuan Yuan bought an air conditioner, cleaned the room, covered what can be covered, replaced everything that can be replaced, sat at home, and began to sit in a daze .

This year Yuanyuan gave Tan Ruikang a birthday present, a pair of platinum wedding rings designed by him.

"Why did you give me this!" Tan Ruikang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Yuanyuan said: "Take it, you can get married after graduation, for the sake of the ring, don't waste it. I designed it."

Lin Xi occasionally came over to help Yuanyuan water the flowers, three of them, each with a key.

Yuanyuan sometimes suddenly thinks that this is very good. His feelings for Tan Ruikang have faded a lot. Too strong or too plain is not a good thing. It is best to maintain an intermediate state, so that it will neither hurt others nor self.Lin Xi has done her best. She takes care of Yuan Yuan in every possible way. Every time she buys something for Tan Ruikang, she will buy him the same one.

Yuanyuan can hardly tell whether she is in love with herself or with Tan Ruikang.

She is like a dedicated big sister, gentle and tolerant, Tan Ruikang is like a father and Lin Xi is like a mother.

On November [-]th, Yuanyuan was in a daze at home. The time he spent with Tan Ruikang and Lin Xi gradually decreased, so much that he felt a little sorry for it, but they would still visit him as always, and Lin Xi would clean his room , tidy up the curtains and take them back to my dormitory to wash.
