The Spring of Prince Syndrome

In December 07, Yuanyuan and Tan Ruikang officially returned home. Yuanyuan found that he was really homesick. When he was half asleep and half awake, he could go to the bathroom without turning on the light. When drinking water, he could catch it with his eyes closed. Cup, for so many years, the pattern of this house has been imprinted into his life.

Everywhere there are traces of him living with his father, mother, and Tan Ruikang.

He didn't need to drink and socialize anymore, he just slept lazily for a few days when he came back, and turned on the computer to look at the stocks. Now he can buy a lot of point cards and play legends all day long, and he can buy a door-like dragon-slaying knife to slap people around. People, but the legend is no longer played.

You Zeyang asked him to play World of Warcraft, and Yuan Yuan downloaded a client to play casually. It was not fun, and he stopped playing after playing for a while.

Gradually, I don’t like the snacks I used to like to eat. When elementary school is over, I watch the TV every day, and Zhao Guogang scolds me for my grades dropping. I don’t like watching it anymore.

Tan Ruikang rented an office building in the bonded area, more than 1000 square meters, and hired [-] employees, but it was not enough to fill up more than half of it, and put up a sign to prepare for business.

Zhao Guogang came over to see it, nodded and said it was good, and invited all the employees of the company to have a meal.

After the Spring Festival, Wang Peng's Decoration City will open. All the stores have started to buy goods. Everything is going smoothly. I have traveled far away to Dongguan a few times, and I have nothing to do when I come back.

As soon as Tan Ruikang recovered from his illness, he showed his strong professionalism, like a clockwork monkey, running here and there, driving to Dongguan in the morning to buy goods—delivering goods to Guangzhou— I went to Huizhou to see the bunk - I went back to Shenzhen to get off work, and I just came back at 06:30 after a circle, and I was in time to have dinner with Yuanyuan.Everything is done by one hand, Yaoyuan doesn't have to take care of things at all, just sitting in the company is boring to death, pulling a piece of grid paper and playing backgammon with Tan Ruikang's secretary every day.

The stocks are half-dead, and the remaining money in the distance has dropped by 20 yuan, and the remaining capital is dragging around like a depressed patient.In January, Tan Ruikang added another 10 yuan to the warehouse and told Yuan Yuan to stare at him, so he was full of energy to make money again.

During the Spring Festival, Zhao Guogang invited dinner and said, "Ruikang is 26. Both of you have achieved a little success in your career now. Who is going to get married first?"

Yuanyuan's heart suddenly twitched.

Tan Ruikang blushed from drinking, and said with a smile: "There is no suitable one, really no suitable one."

Zhao Guogang said: "If you don't look for it, how do you know there is no suitable one? I don't think you two have any intention of falling in love."

Shu Yan said: "Ruikang's girlfriend last time was pretty good, she's a pretty girl, are you still in touch?"

Tan Ruikang smiled, shook his head, and glanced at Yuanyuan.

Yuanyuan knew what he meant, so he didn't answer the words, saying: "Didn't students be allowed to fall in love back then? Teachers, parents, when they saw dating, they all came up like mad dogs to tear it apart. Breaking up a couple is a couple. Do you remember Zhang Zhen? He came to our house before and brought his girlfriend to beg for New Year's money, and you told me not to follow him, saying that he can't even support his own wife and just fall in love with others... Do you know what other people are doing?"

"They have been together for ten years. They got married right after graduating from university. Zhang Zhen is working as a physical education teacher, and his wife is a civil servant in the customs system. Zhang Zhen's grades were at the bottom when he was in school, and his wife is a little sister. Now they may not be mixed worse than the average person."

As soon as Zhao Guogang heard it, he knew that his son had lost his temper again.

"Five couples in our third year of high school fell in love, and some were hired as parents. Now they all get married and have children after graduating from college. It has nothing to do with when they fell in love."

Yuan Yuan laughed again: "Don't let people talk when it's time to talk, and now you're urging to get married quickly? You all think that love is a light bulb, turn it on and off it as you want, and replace it with a new light bulb if it breaks down... ..."

Tan Ruikang hurriedly said: "Xiaoyuan, Uncle is also doing it for your own good."

Zhao Guogang said: "You should do what you are at any age. It was really for your own good not to let you fall in love."

Shu Yan smiled and said: "Don't rush them, we will talk when it's time to talk."

Yuan Yuan has known Shu Yan for so long, and finally heard her say something human.

When he got home that day, Tan Ruikang said, "Xiaoyuan, do you still miss Milk Girl? How about calling her?"

Looking at the TV far away, he frowned and said, "This stock probably won't get any better."

Tan Ruikang's attention was immediately attracted by Yuan Yuan, and he asked, "Why?"

Yuanyuan said: "What did my dad say after the Fed cut interest rates last time?"

Tan Ruikang shook his head in confusion. His understanding of the economy is very simple, and it was all instilled in him from afar: If the United States is bad, China will be bad too, but it is hard to say whether the United States is bad or not.So China is not necessarily bad, everyone has a chance to turn around.

Yuan Yuan: "Did the community developer in Nanshan notify you last time?"

Tan Ruikang: "The goods have been pulled over, and the payment for the goods is settled today."

Yuan Yuan: "How much?"

Tan Ruikang: "110 million."

Yuanyuan suddenly felt more and more bored, and leaned on Tan Ruikang's lap, and said, "Why don't I start another company."

Tan Ruikang said: "What do you want to do, isn't it good now?"

Yuanyuan said: "I have nothing to do at home all day long, and you won't let me go for entertainment, everyone in the company is sighing that the stock is locked up, there is nothing to do, dicks will not return to China until after the summer vacation, and everyone else is at work..."

Tan Ruikang's slender little finger poked Yuan Yuan's ear, put it into Yuan Yuan's ear and turned around, Yuan Yuan's face immediately turned red to the base of his ears, and he felt so comfortable that he felt limp.

Tan Ruikang said: "By the way, a client's wife introduced me to a blind date, shall we go?"

Yuan Yuan's heart skipped a beat.

"You want to get married?" Yuan Yuan asked.

Tan Ruikang said: "Hey, that's just talking. Uncle...uncle said that we both should get married, the eldest is not young, and the elder brother is 26..."

"What about 26." Yuan Yuan said, "Many men in their 30s get married."

Tan Ruikang said: "That's what I said, but Uncle is afraid that you will delay too... He wants to have a grandson early. According to the rules of our family, the eldest brother gets married first. I haven't seen the second child get married earlier than the eldest..."

Yuanyuan couldn't laugh or cry: "It's so old, it's still the way of coming to the countryside."

Tan Ruikang smiled embarrassedly.

Yuan Yuan threw the remote control to him and went back to his room to sleep.

Tan Ruikang changed a few channels, and Yuanyuan said in the room: "You might as well buy a plane ticket and propose to my sister when you go on a blind date. Now that you have money, her parents must have nothing to say. Give it to her parents in OCT. Buy a duplex, come and live for a few months a year, and miss your daughter the rest of the time, wouldn’t it be over if you fly around and live here?”

Tan Ruikang did not speak, but sighed.

Yuan Yuan said: "You bought a house in Overseas Chinese Town, and you have the key to the house, go to find her. Aren't you the best at this kind of thing?"

Tan Ruikang said: "Okay, okay, don't talk about it."

Yuan Yuan stayed in his room for a while, and said, "Go on a blind date, go and see."

Tan Ruikang said, "Shall we go together?"

Yuanyuan said: "Go together later and fall in love with me again, you can talk about it when you finish dating."

Tan Ruikang said: "I'm afraid to find someone you don't like..."

Yuan Yuan couldn't laugh or cry: "It's you who marry your wife, not me. It's fine if you like it, it doesn't matter if I like it or not."

Tan Ruikang said: "Later, you will avoid me again like last time..."

Yuanyuan said: "It won't happen this time, we all went home, why hide from you, you have the keys at home, the situation is different now from before."

Tan Ruikang hummed, and said, "It may not be suitable for that brother to meet tomorrow."

Yuanyuan said: "Good night."

The lights in the two rooms were turned off, Yuan Yuan lay in the dark room, and sighed, he suddenly felt that it didn't matter if he was married or not, and he just got married if he wanted to.

Not only was he not sad, but he was a little angry. Tan Ruikang was so careful that Yuan Yuan always felt that he was a burden.

Zhao Guogang did not get married because of him, and Tan Ruikang also did not get married because of him. Yuan Yuan couldn't help asking himself, is my existence so domineering?How did it end up like everyone was sacrificing for me?To fall in love depends on my face?Do whatever you love, as long as you can be worthy of yourself for the rest of your life, anyway, I, Zhao Yuanyuan, will not get married.

The next day Tan Ruikang went on a blind date, and when he came back at night, he said, "It's not suitable, that girl spends money lavishly."

distant:"……"

Tan Ruikang said: "She doesn't pack the leftovers. She orders a dish and stops eating after a few mouthfuls, and doesn't pack a bag to go home."

Yuanyuan: "Hey, you don't understand girls. When you meet for the first time, you always pretend to be reserved and say that you can't eat that much. This is normal! And no one packs it up for a blind date! Who will pack it up for? Let's just pack it up when we eat. , Eating and eating is her own family's saliva, she packs it up and eats it, is she letting the whole family eat your monkey's saliva?!"

Tan Ruikang: "..."

Yuan Yuan was both angry and funny, and taught him a lesson, telling him to be generous in chasing girls and not to be so stingy like Lin Xi.

Yuanyuan: "You have worked for your girlfriend for a few years, and after you get married and become your wife, it is the other's turn to be a cow and a horse, serving you and your children for the rest of your life. What's the use of having money and not being willing to spend it on your daughter-in-law?

Tan Ruikang: "You are wrong. A girl's independence is a virtue, and the AA system is to respect her."

Yuan Yuan: "Then you want people to be obedient, and you want them to eat you. How can there be such a good thing in the world? And let you play chauvin music without spending your money, an inflatable doll?"

Tan Ruikang said: "Okay, okay, anyway, I don't think this girl is suitable, and you probably won't like it either."

Yaoyuan said gloatingly, "Forget it, let's talk about it when we encounter a suitable difficulty this year."

Tan Ruikang got up to take a shower, a text message came from his mobile phone, and he glanced at it from a distance, the girl asked Tan Ruikang if he would come out to play next time, and meet your brother by the way.

Tan Ruikang must have mentioned himself when he went on a blind date, Yuanyuan helped him back: [The company is a bit busy recently, I will contact you when I am done, you usually pay attention to your meals, you are too thin, don’t always eat so little, eat more Eat something and take care of yourself. 】The girl smiled back: 【Okay, good night. 】

Remotely deleted all the text messages.

Tan Ruikang took a shower and came out to make supper for Yuan Yuan. Now their daily life is: Yuan Yuan sleeps until [-] o'clock in the morning, Tan Ruikang gets up and makes breakfast in the microwave, and goes to work by himself, Yuan Yuan eats breakfast, have a look Stocks, slowly go to the company to take a look, have lunch with Tan Ruikang, eat whatever you want.

When he came back to play games in the afternoon, Tan Ruikang would call and order takeaway food from Yuanyuan at night when he was entertaining, and lay on the sofa to surf the Internet. Tan Ruikang returned home after drinking and went to make supper for Yuanyuan.

During the supper, the two chatted about the company, analyzed it remotely, called Tan Ruikang, discussed the decision, and went to bed after finalizing.

Yuanyuan's mood fluctuates from good to bad, as if he has returned to the time when he was about to graduate from college, he didn't care about what to do, he didn't want to entertain or go to the company, Tan Ruikang had already taken care of it, so it didn't make much sense for him to go.

Watching TV and surfing the Internet at home is boring, and stocks are half-dead.

In March of 2008, spring came and everything was thriving, and Yuan Yuan felt a strong impulse in his heart.

With money and time, there are so few pursuits in life, what else can he do?He has almost no goals left.

He wants to be in love.

But he has always loved her for so many years, and he couldn't ask for it.

His mind is full of weird ideas, he wants to persuade Tan Ruikang to resign, sell the company and go to travel around the world with him, as expected, going home is not a good thing, as soon as he is free, he tends to be in a daze, and when he is in a daze for a long time, he will think about something Think west.

One day, Tan Ruikang invited a client for a drink at noon, and came back to rest in the afternoon after drinking, saying that the female client was very nice and wanted to introduce him to a girlfriend.

Yuan Yuan listened expressionlessly for a while, and said, "Go and meet."

Tan Ruikang said with a smile: "Brother, there is a girl in our upstairs company who likes you. I fell in love with you the last time I saw you. You took the same elevator with her when you went upstairs."

"Is there?" Yuanyuan asked suspiciously.

Tan Ruikang said: "It's very beautiful. You even pressed the elevator for her. Last Wednesday, remember?"

Yuanyuan: "Is there? I helped so many girls press the elevator, how can I remember which one it is?"

Tan Ruikang: "Do you want to know her? I told her to introduce our vice president of Milkman to her."

Yuanyuan: "No. I'm already a milk uncle, and I'm still a milk boy. I'm getting old."

Tan Ruikang sighed, lay on the sofa, and said, "That girl is really nice, you might like her, and when you start dating later, you don't want me anymore."

Yuanyuan said, "I won't get married."

Tan Ruikang said: "Don't talk nonsense, how can you not get married? I will arrange for you to meet her some other day. I will sleep with you. Call me at three, and I have to go to the company."

Yuan Yuan took out a blanket and covered Tan Ruikang. Tan Ruikang slept soundly with his eyes closed, Yuan Yuan sat on the ground, looked at him sideways, and patted his head.

Tan Ruikang smelled of alcohol all over his body, and Yuanyuan casually flipped through his cell phone to check who he was texting with, customers, customers...all talking about trivial things.

After watching from a distance for a while, I didn't find any clues.

Tan Ruikang's mobile phone is dual-card dual-standby. After changing to a Shenzhen card, Yuanyuan put the mobile phone back and opened the drawer under the coffee table. Inside was their couple's mobile phone.

They all changed their numbers, the original number was suspended due to arrears, and the remote phone was turned on, and the text messages in it were still there. After digging out the old text messages, they recalled their college life bit by bit.

【Brother, I miss you. 】

【miss you. 】

The corners of Yuanyuan's mouth were slightly raised, and those text messages were kept. He suddenly remembered something: it was not the first time he had checked Tan Ruikang's cell phone in these years. Drop some, leave some, and all that is left are text messages expressing attachment from afar.

But there are two text messages, which he has never left in his distant memory.

【I like someone, but I dare not say it. 】

【you. 】

Yuanyuan lowered his head and turned around for a while, but he didn't find the text message, and his heart started beating again. What does this mean?

Tan Ruikang knew that he liked him?Did he vaguely guess it?

Yuanyuan turned to look at him, Tan Ruikang was still a little drunk, sleeping like an obedient child, wrapped in a blanket, breathing heavily.

There is still a shallow needle scar at the root of his ear, his cheeks are thin, and his eyebrows are as sharp as a jackknife.

After looking at it for a while, unspeakable excitement surged in his heart, did he know it all along?really?

Yuan Yuan did a bold thing, he was like a fanatical gambler, and regretted this decision for a long time, it was the most desperate thing he had ever done in his life.

He didn't control himself, covered Tan Ruikang's face with one hand, leaned forward, and kissed his lips. He kissed him earnestly, as if he wanted to pin all his secret loves in these years in this kiss. His tongue imitated TV In the kissing scene, pry open Tan Ruikang's lips.

"what are you doing!"

Tan Ruikang woke up, startled, and pushed Yuan Yuan away suddenly.

The two looked at each other for a moment, Tan Ruikang's eyes were full of shock, and he looked into the distance as if he didn't know him.

Tan Ruikang said: "Xiaoyuan? Xiaoyuan, what are you doing?"

Yuanyuan knew that he lost the bet and lost everything.

He stepped back a little, accidentally knocked over the coffee table, collapsed on the ground, tripped again, and said, "I'm just kidding, just kidding, don't take it seriously..."

Tan Ruikang frowned tightly, Yuanyuan was silent for a moment, barely supported himself, turned around subconsciously, stepped over a pile of broken glass, and ran to the door.

"Xiaoyuan!" Tan Ruikang roared, "Xiaoyuan!"

Yuan Yuan staggered, his white socks were covered with blood, he put on a pair of slippers indiscriminately, and wanted to run out to calm down, he couldn't deal with this kind of thing, he just wanted to escape.

"Wait!" Tan Ruikang held the door with one hand, Yuan Yuan stopped.

"Wait, Xiaoyuan." Tan Ruikang said: "Don't run, don't go anywhere. Why did you do that just now?"

Yuan Yuan closed his eyes, put his forehead on the door, and let out a long breath.

"Are you gay?" Tan Ruikang said, "How could this be? You... no wonder, Xiao Yuan, why do you..."

Yuanyuan said: "Let me go out, let me be quiet for a while..."

Tan Ruikang said: "No, don't run, don't run! Xiao Yuan, where do you want to go?! You stepped on the glass, sit down!"

"People with AIDS!" Yuan Yuan said, "Don't touch them!"

"Don't be afraid! I'm not afraid! I'm your brother!" Tan Ruikang said loudly, "I won't leave you even if you are sick! With me, you can't leave!"

The two gasped at each other, and after a while, Yuan Yuan closed his eyes in despair, and he said, "Please, let me go out, let me be quiet for a while, I... I did something wrong, I was completely wrong, how could I It's that stupid..."
