Catch the wind

Gu Xiongfei recuperated comfortably in the Shen mansion for a few days, seeing that his body was about to be fine, but when he got out of bed in the middle of the night, he accidentally fell and sprained his ankle again, and he could only be independent from now on.

Although the golden rooster is not comfortable being independent, it does not prevent him from doing business.He first thanked General Duan over the phone in every possible way, and then called the manager of the Gu residence from Beiping.When the steward heard that he was going to go abroad again, his reaction was very numb, and he just asked, "Master, where are you going this time?"

Gu Xiongfei thought about it for a while: "This...not necessarily, I will live in the south for a while."

The manager nodded and asked again, "How many years have you been away?"

Gu Xiongfei replied: "The time is not certain. But the servants and cooks can be dismissed, just keep a few to watch the house. The house in the concession here is about to expire, you go and take someone to clean it up, and hand over the house in advance Landlord; all the things in the house are shipped back to Peiping, don’t miss out.”

Gu Xiongfei usually doesn't pay much attention to family affairs, but now that he wants to go away, he has to devote all his energy to settling the house.Facing the lazy manager, he became more and more detailed, and finally he talked endlessly.But Ye Xueshan took this opportunity and slipped away without a trace.

Anan got off the rickshaw at the entrance of the alley, bought two drawers of hot steamed buns just out of the pan, and wanted to take them home for lunch.Walking into the alley step by step on the newly fallen snow, he could only see a man squatting in front of his house from a distance—a decent man in a suit and leather shoes.

He froze for a moment, and then his heart jumped.Quickening his pace and walking closer, he bent down and patted the other person on the shoulder: "Hey, why are you here?"

Ye Xueshan raised his head, under the shadow of the brim of his top hat, his eyebrows and eyelashes were covered with frost, and the tip of his nose and earlobes were all frozen red.He pursed his lips and smiled at Anan, and he stood up with great difficulty. It turned out that he was still holding a half-sized burden in his arms: "What did you do? I waited for you for more than an hour, and it was almost frozen!"

Anan quickly opened the courtyard door, and while pushing him into the courtyard, complained angrily, "Come here right away? What will you do if I don't come home at noon?"

Ye Xueshan walked into the main room with ease, and sneezed heavily in the warm wind.Taking off his top hat and putting it on the window sill, he put the bundle in his arms on the table: "I made clothes a few days ago, and I brought you one."

Anan put down the buns, first brought a kettle from the kitchen stove, poured a cup of hot water for Ye Xueshan to drink, and then freed his hands to untie the bundle.Shaking off the new clothes, it turned out to be a thick woolen coat with double-breasted buttons and a belt. The style was very modern, and almost all the foreign youths in the concession wore this kind of dress in winter.Ye Xueshan put down his teacup, stepped forward and opened his coat and told him, "Look, there's a layer of fleece lining inside, it's very warm, and wearing it is better than wearing a cotton jacket."

Anan put the coat on the chair, stretched out his hands and twisted the thick coat. He was very happy in his heart, but he refused to be polite: "I thought you had already left!"

Ye Xueshan raised his hand and patted him on the back: "If you want to leave, you have to tell my little brother!"

Anan took off the outer cotton clothes, put on a coat and tried on the size, and the size was just right, exactly.Quickly took off his coat again, Anan thought that it was the first time someone cared about his clothes when he grew up so big.

Seeing Ye Xueshan put the teacup on the table, he picked it up and drank two sips of hot water. While drinking, he glanced at Ye Xueshan, and saw Ye Xueshan pick up the hot bun from the paper pocket and stuff it whole into his mouth. It was obvious that he was not only cold, but also hungry.

After eating three steamed buns in one go, Ye Xueshan wiped his hands with a wet towel, and then said to Anan: "The boat ticket is already in hand, the boat in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow."

Anan smiled, and said in a low voice: "No wonder you gave me a piece of clothing, it turned out to be a parting gift."

Ye Xueshan raised his hand and ruffled his short black hair: "It doesn't mean that. Even if I don't want to leave, I will give it away. I will never forget that you were so kind to me back then. The relationship is still the same. It's a pity that I'm not old and you're not young, so it's not appropriate to consider you a son, so I'll treat you as a younger brother!"

Anan lowered his head: "I'll see you off the day after tomorrow, okay?"

Ye Xueshan turned around and picked up another bun: "Of course, I can't ask for it!"

When Ye Xueshan came home in the afternoon, he found that Gu Xiongfei was still having a long conversation with the person in charge.At night, Gu Xiongfei let go of the manager and started talking to General Shen again.

In the morning of the next day, Gu Xiongfei put on a posture of taking care of everything, holding the microphone and saying goodbye to Duan and Shen's two young masters.Xiaowen was too busy to touch the ground—he had to send a telegram to Shanghai, informing Miss Shen of the arrival time of the ship in Shanghai.General Shen has long since stopped contacting his second daughter, and the eldest and young master is not at home, so the burden rests entirely on Xiao Wen's shoulders.Fortunately, Xiaowen feels uncomfortable all day long, so he is willing to do something.Busy from morning to afternoon, Xiaowen had a whim, and suddenly wanted to go to Shanghai with the two brothers of the Gu family and have fun for a few days.Anyway, he and his wife have always been friends who don't interfere with each other. Seeing that they have known each other since childhood, Second Miss Shen will definitely entertain him well.

He had a good idea, and immediately went to make a request to General Shen, but was scolded by General Shen.General Shen has raised five children, but now he is almost living alone. Once Xiaowen leaves, he can hardly survive.After being scolded in a good manner, Xiaowen couldn't help losing his temper, slamming the door into the room and refusing to show up.Two hours later, General Shen reacted belatedly, pushed away the bong to see his son-in-law.Unexpectedly, Xiaowen uttered rude words through the door, causing General Shen to be furious and kicked the room open.

The old man and the son-in-law of the Shen family had a quarrel, Gu Xiongfei was independent, and planned to jump over the wall to persuade the fight; but before he could finish the jump, Ye Xueshan had already run to separate the two of them, and started talking nicely at both ends.

Everyone in the Shen family didn't sleep well that night.Xiaowen didn't lose his temper when he was idle, but when he lost his temper, he was like a donkey.In the early hours of the morning, Gu Xiongfei and Ye Xueshan were both sleepy and yawning. General Shen endured the whole night, and he was subdued. It's..."

Gu Xiongfei and Ye Xueshan guessed that Xiaowen would not be able to swallow the old father-in-law alive, so they took advantage of the opportunity to retreat and went back to the room to catch up on sleep.After closing their eyes and lying down for a long time, the two of them were woken up by Xiaowen.

Gu Xiongfei opened his eyes first, and was startled when he saw Xiaowen, thinking that he and General Shen hadn't finished arguing yet; however, Xiaowen was friendly, and it was obvious that the war was over: "Brother Gu, Ziling, if you don't get up, you won't be able to catch up with the boat! "

Gu Xiongfei stood up and sat up, and asked in a low voice: "How is uncle?"

Xiaowen waved his hand disapprovingly: "It's okay, the old man is very unreasonable, his children are afraid of him, but I am not." Then he turned and pointed to the corner of the room: "Just those four boxes?"

Gu Xiongfei nodded: "Yes, there is not much luggage."

Although there is not much luggage, it weighs a lot. Gu Xiongfei's foot injury has not healed, and he is in a swaying state.Fortunately, Ye Xueshan found a wheelchair in advance, and let Gu Xiongfei sit on it when he was going to board the ship, and the suitcase was placed on his lap.The two have their own division of labor, one is responsible for pushing the wheelchair, and the other is responsible for protecting the suitcase. It must be easier.

During lunch, General Shen showed his face with drooping eyes, because he hadn't fought his son-in-law last night.Fortunately, the brothers of the Gu family had a tacit understanding and didn't mention the past, they just ate desperately.Xiaowen also acted as if nothing had happened, serving tea and water for General Shen as usual.

Lunch was opened very late, and after eating, it was time to set off.Gu Xiongfei said goodbye to General Shen respectfully, then went out with a cane and got into the car.Xiaowen acted as General Shen's representative and followed him to the pier.When the car was parked outside the pier, Gu Xiongfei sat in the car and looked out, and found that the young master of Duan Shen's family was standing in front of him, looking like he had been waiting for a long time.

Hastily pushed the door open and got out of the car, Gu Xiongfei walked up and shook hands with the two people.The young master of the Shen family was quite calm, while the young master of the Duan family laughed and talked nonsense.And Xiaowen and Ye Xueshan took this opportunity to unload the wheelchair and luggage, and checked the ticket again.Putting the four suitcases on the wheelchair temporarily, Ye Xueshan looked around and exhaled snow-white mist.

There are people coming and going all around, but there is no sign of Anan.Ye Xueshan didn't know if he would have a chance to see Anan again after he left this time—maybe, he didn't.

He pretended to be okay in front of Anan, hoping that Anan would not be sad.Anan was kind to him, he had no chance to repay his favor, he could only coax the other party to be happy, coaxing was not easy coaxing, it was coaxing coaxing.

He can't help it, he has love and affection for Anan, but when love and affection are put together, it may not be love.After all the talk, there are only three words in the end: no way.

At this time, Gu Xiongfei turned around and walked over with a cane, took off the suitcase and sat in the wheelchair, the young master of the Shen family helped, and sent all the suitcases to Gu Xiongfei's arms one by one.Ye Xueshan took out his pocket watch to check the time, pushed the wheelchair and wanted to leave.But before taking a step, he suddenly heard a call from behind: "Master!"

He suddenly turned his head and saw Anan standing not far away, looking at him angrily.

Anan had never been so decent.

He put on the overcoat that Ye Xueshan gave him. To match the overcoat, he bought a suit and leather shoes from inside to outside, and borrowed a car to ride in.The driver was not familiar with the road, and he didn't know how to get there when he drove nearby, so he jumped out of the car and rushed all the way to the pier.

Standing on the snowy ground, his chest heaved and he gasped heavily.And Ye Xueshan quickly walked in front of him, and smiled before speaking: "A'nan, I'm very happy that you came to see me off."

Anan nodded and looked at him without blinking: "I know."

Ye Xueshan took off the leather glove on his right hand, straightened the tie knot for Anan, and said, "Anan is so beautiful today."

Anan raised his hand and held his hand, without saying a word.

Ye Xueshan withdrew his hand indiscriminately, and put on the gloves again.Looking up at Anan's eyes, he suddenly smiled foolishly, revealing a row of beautiful white teeth.Immediately, he opened his arms to embrace Anan, and he slapped Anan hard on the back a few times.Anan closed his eyes in this short hug, and at the same time he heard Ye Xueshan say in his ear: "Take care of yourself."

Then, Ye Xueshan let go of his hand.He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time again. He found that he couldn't delay.

Turning back to the crowd, he pushed the wheelchair forward.After walking a few steps, he turned sideways and waved to Anan again, shouting loudly: "Anan, goodbye!"

Anan didn't respond, but just stared at him solemnly and sadly.Ye Xueshan turned to the front and continued walking, but he was still staring.

When Ye Xueshan's back finally disappeared into the crowd, Anan put his hands in his coat pockets, turned around and walked on the way alone.

He thought he would give himself a year to forget about Ye Xueshan—not to let go of not thinking, but to forget completely.

If he still can't forget it after a year, then he will look for the other party.

Xiaowen was in charge of buying the boat ticket, but he bought it a bit late, and didn't get a first-class cabin, so he had to book a second-class cabin.Fortunately, except that the second-class cabin has two more beds than the first-class cabin, the rest is not bad.This is a [-]-ton British ship with a lot of passengers, Ye Xueshan pushed Gu Xiongfei over the trestle bridge with all his might.After returning the wheelchair to Xiaowen, the two hurriedly boarded the gangway and walked in a mess all the way.After finally getting into the cabin, the two of them squeezed into anxious faces.Throwing the suitcase on the empty bed, Ye Xueshan was courteous and rushed to the deck again.Xiaowen squeezed back to the shore in embarrassment, facing Ye Xueshan far away.Amidst the long sound of the siren, Ye Xueshan took out a white handkerchief and waved it vigorously a few times, assuming the posture of a long-distance traveler, and then ran back into the cabin while taking advantage of the chaos.

As soon as he entered the cabin, he was caught by Gu Xiongfei: "Where did you go?"

Ye Xueshan replied confidently: "Xiaowen has helped us so much, you can't just ignore him when you get on the boat, right? Your legs and feet are inconvenient, why don't you let me go out and wave goodbye?"

Gu Xiongfei was silenced by him, and sat on the side of the bedside pillow with his mouth gaping.Ye Xueshan ignored him, took off his coat and put it on the suitcase, and looked out through the window.Seeing that the ship was really setting sail, he went out and came back with a pot of boiling water, and carefully brewed two cups of hot tea to dry.

This time he was done with his work, he patted his wet hands on his pants, and sat down next to Gu Xiongfei.

"Brother?" He called softly, amusedly.

Gu Xiongfei felt a little suffocated after being robbed by him, so he didn't plan to respond.

Ye Xueshan didn't care, turned around and leaned back into Gu Xiongfei's arms, rubbed his feet together, took off his leather shoes, and lifted them up to the railing at the end of the bed.He let out a lazily long breath, tilted his head back and felt more comfortable.

Gu Xiongfei looked down at him helplessly.The younger brother is cheeky and eloquent, so what can the elder brother do?

Ye Xueshan raised a hand, and touched Gu Xiongfei's lips gropingly.There was a soft warmth on the back of his hand, it was Gu Xiongfei who kissed him.

He felt inexplicably relieved, so he called out again with a playful smile: "Brother?"

Gu Xiongfei hugged him, and reprimanded very majesticly: "Monkey boy, if you have something to say, just say it, why are you barking?"
