Iron squid

"Ye Xi!! Are you deaf?!" The table in front of him was slapped heavily.

The surroundings fell silent, Ye Xi glanced lazily at the fierce little girl at the front desk, and then retreated silently.

"Brother, I'm hungry, can you go and buy something to eat?" The little girl began to act like a baby, and then pointed to the two boxes of instant noodles on the counter, "I've eaten so much instant noodles, but I'm still hungry Must not."

"Go by yourself." Ye Xi glanced at the dark road outside. He was the easiest to get hungry when he stayed up late. In the past, he had to eat three or four buckets of instant noodles every night. The price is twice as expensive, so I went to eat skewers with the front desk clerk on duty at night.

But tonight he is not hungry at all, or he hasn't felt hungry for a long time.

"I want to watch the counter, not to mention you have an electric car, so it's faster to go to the supper stand in front." The little girl ran over to take out a handful of money from the cabinet while talking.

"I sold a lot of money today. There is a Malatang seller in front, and their cold noodles are also good. I'm starving to death, brother, why don't you go!!"

"I'm really...!!!" Ye Xi rolled his eyes impatiently, and was about to continue to say something, but a couple came down from the elevator, and the man was holding two big nylon bags and yelled to check out .

In front of the hotel is the clothing wholesale department. Many businessmen who pick up the goods are also resting in their store. They have to check out at one or two o'clock in the morning every day to pick up the goods.

"Okay, here we come." The little girl responded, clasped her hands together and begged him, then turned and went straight to the counter.

"Damn!!!" Ye Xi rolled his eyes again, put a handful of money on the table into his pocket, and took the key to the garage at the door to find the electric car.

When he saw the news that day, he couldn't help calling Qi Mu. He was still on the phone at first, but finally got through.He suddenly didn't know what to say.

Qi Mu didn't speak after giving a feed, and Ye Xi was also silent here for a long time, biting his lip and hesitating for a while before he said slowly, "Do you have a girlfriend?"

Qi Mu paused there, and then slowly hummed for a long time.

Ye Xi was stunned, and tears fell down in a flash, but his movement was very small, and Qi Mu probably didn't hear it, but he waited there all the time without making a sound.

Ye Xi cried here for a long time, both ends of the phone fell silent, until his phone showed low battery and kept beeping, Qi Mu said again, "The place where I proposed is at the East Gate Bus station, August NO.20 is my birthday."

Ye Xi was crying so hard that she couldn't make a sound, but she tried her best to calm down her heartbeat and hummed, but because the voice was too unpleasant, she had to quickly answer, "I will come."

"That's good." Qi Mu paused there, hesitated for a moment, seemed to notice his voice, and asked him quickly, "Ye Xi? What's wrong with you?"

Ye Xi didn't make another sound, and hung up the phone decisively.

.........

The lights on the side of the road were dim, and Ye Xi rode a battery scooter around for a few laps before wandering off to buy Malatang at a night snack stand on the street.

There were not many people eating supper in the middle of the night, and there were a few scattered in the tents on the street, so while waiting, he took out his mobile phone to check the time.

Three hours have passed since yesterday, and the calendar has slowly fixed on August NO.20.

Today is the day when Qi Mu is going to propose to her girlfriend.

…………

This night passed extremely long, because Ye Xi bought Malatang and cold noodles, the little girl at the front desk didn't let him stay up all night, and waved him to sleep.Ye Xi didn't refuse either, and smoked a cigarette slowly on the sofa in the hall with his legs crossed, before getting up and going to the security room to rest.

Because there may be unexpected situations at any time, they rest without turning off the lights or taking off their clothes.Originally, Ye Xi thought that she would not be able to fall asleep because of excessive sadness, but she didn't expect to close her eyes and dream as soon as her head touched the pillow.

But maybe it's because I haven't had a good rest for too long, and I woke up at twelve o'clock the next day.

Liu Shun was eating next to him when he opened his eyes, and when he saw that he was awake, he pointed to the rice cooked for him beside him, "Oh, I thought your old man would never wake up from this sleep, the sauerkraut made by the lady upstairs The fish is good, if I don’t help you order it, the floor staff will have already snatched it up.”

"Why is it you, isn't it Brother Kun?" Ye Xi grabbed her hair and sat up from the bed.

"Your sister Kun!! I will take over from you, brother Kun will take over from me, are you sleepy?!" Liu Shun rolled his eyes, and Ye Xi's obviously not reassuring attitude made him extremely upset , So he tried his best to grab two mouthfuls of rice, and went to the rest area of ​​the hall with the bowl.

Ye Xi smiled and didn't speak. She didn't expect that Liu Shun just stepped out of the door, and then she seemed to think of something, so she turned to look at him again, "By the way, your phone has been ringing for a long time, and I didn't dare to answer it. Call yourself and ask if the other party is in a hurry."

Ye Xi glanced at the screen of the mobile phone, and sure enough, a large number of missed calls were all from Qi Mu.

"... Oh." Ye Xi lowered her head, stood up again and began to change clothes.

After dinner, Ye Xi stood at the door of the hotel and called Qi Mu. This time, there was no shutdown or anything like that, and the connection was made quickly.

"Where are you?" Qi Mu asked him.

"I just woke up." Ye Xi was a little embarrassed, but thinking that Qi Mu might be proposing for the first time, even if he is usually calm, he would feel calmer if he had someone he knew by his side.So he didn't wait for Qi Mu to speak again, and continued, "I'll be here soon, soon."

"...Okay." Qi Mu hummed, and then said something that he didn't understand clearly, and he asked again, but the other side quickly hung up the phone.

Ye Xi sighed while holding the phone, then reached out to stop the taxi again.

Qi Mu's proposal location is set at the main bus station in the east gate. Ye Xi can see a long string of balloons above his head as soon as he enters the door. In order to allow the normal operation of the buses, only half of the parking lot at the back is specially paid for by Qi Mu. from.

Qi Mu's posture was quite big, and there were crowds of onlookers around him. The bus that someone was waiting for had passed by several times and he was not in a hurry to leave, and they all gathered together to watch the excitement.

Ye Xi squeezed in with great difficulty, and he could see the double-decker open-top bus covered with flowers at a glance.

Surrounded by the crowd, Qi Mu seemed to be holding a bouquet of flowers and practicing his lines non-stop. Ye Xi paused in the crowd, and immediately heard a few girls next to him holding up their mobile phones to take pictures.

"Wow, that guy is so good-looking, I didn't know that girl was so lucky!?" The front was a bit crowded, and the girls had to tiptoe to take pictures.

Ye Xi also followed everyone's gaze to look there. Qi Mu's skin has always been white, and today he specially wore a slim white suit. His legs are slender, his facial features are handsome, and his every move is extremely dazzling in the crowd.

A lot of his usual friends also came, everyone is famous brand, and their gestures are full of education, even if they make fun of why Qi Mu is so nervous, it looks very pleasing to the eye.

After such a comparison, Ye Xi immediately didn't want to go in, but before he could decide whether to cheer or leave, someone saw him pointing at him and shouted, "Qi Mu Qi Mu, is that right? your friend."

Everyone followed the man's gaze, and Qi Mu also turned his head, and when he saw him, he immediately stood up holding the flower.

"Sorry, I'm late." Qi Mu had no choice but to hurry over.

"How are you preparing?" He patted Qi Mu's shoulder carelessly again, trying to behave as naturally as possible.

"It's almost there." Qi Mu smiled, with long eyelashes hanging down, she was still a little shy.

Ye Xi stared at him without looking away, and after a long time, she pursed her lips and did not make a sound.

"Then you can help me see what's going on first." No matter how sad Ye Xi was, when Qi Mu saw him coming, he immediately dragged him to the dressed-up bus with great interest.

Ye Xi hummed and followed Qi Mu into the car.

There were many colored ribbons hanging on the graffitied colorful doorway, Ye Xi brushed it with his hand before walking inside.

A layer of carpet was spread on the ground, and a lot of floral yarn was covered on the bus seats.There were densely packed colorful balloons above his head, Ye Xi was startled to see it, and then followed Qi Mu to go up.

"...beautiful." Ye Xi couldn't help admiring as soon as he went up. Sure enough, the little boy who only used fried small yellow croakers to seduce him when he was young has grown up now, and even the ceremony of marriage proposal can be done so meticulously and harmoniously. Warm.

Qi Mu didn't speak, expressing that he was very proud of his praise.

Someone below was cheering, the voice was loud, Ye Xi stood there for a long time, and suddenly couldn't help squatting down.

"You lied to me." Tears began to flow from Ye Xi's wide-open eyes, "...how could you lie to me like that!"

Qi Mu was so dumbfounded that he didn't move, and it took him a long time to squat down and hug him.

From the moment Ye Xi got in the car, he noticed that the car was full of photos of him, some of him when he was a child, and some of him now, but most of them were secretly taken by Qi Mu, from every angle, and they occasionally Qi Mu even posted photos of the two of them all over every seat and corner.

This made Ye Xi understand at a glance that this was not Qi Mu's plan to propose to that girl, but to confess to him...

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." Qi Mu also apologized, and kept patting him on the back.

"Then, what's the matter with you and that woman?" Ye Xi continued sniffling.

"What?" Qi Mu frowned, and suddenly realized, he smiled, and leaned into Ye Xi's ear again, "You don't know my mother, right? It's been a long time, and you don't know each other anymore?"

"Huh?" Ye Xi's expression froze, and he repeated, "You, your mother?"

"That's right." Qi Mu hummed, took out his phone and threw it to him, "No wonder you are still following my news to bless me, but besides, my mother supports me so much in marrying you, so you have to remember it anyway?"

Ye Xi turned on the phone and flicked the screen to flip through the photos.

Sure enough, the beautiful woman who took the photo with Ye Xi in the photo was similar to Qi Mu, but Ye Xi, who was busy being shocked at the beginning, didn't think about it.

"It's all because your mother is too young." Not very embarrassed to admit that she didn't see clearly, Ye Xi started crying again, crying and crying, and she still couldn't stop, and finally threw all the bags in, and cursed again , "Damn, I'm so lucky to give birth to a man, why do I cry like a Pan Jinlian."

Qi Mu was amused by him and kept squatting beside him, looking at him.

Seeing that Ye Xi's condition seemed to be getting better in the end, he held up the flower in his hand and handed it over, "I finished decorating the future house for the two of us, and bought a small cart to sell squid on the side of the road. If you don’t want to set up a stall, we can climb the mountain, and now my dad doesn’t care about me, I’m penniless, will you marry me?”

The cheers under the car grew louder. They couldn't bear to see them scolding perverts, so they scattered around dully. The younger and open-minded ones all cheered at the top of their voices, "Marry, marry, marry."

Ye Xi didn't move anymore, she still held the phone and didn't speak, but the tears in her eyes were still falling drop by drop.

Qi Mu smiled, and was about to ask another question.Ye Xi shook his head and refused, "No."

Qi Mu was stunned and froze, and just wanted to ask him why?

Ye Xi said again, "I was always attacking you before I met you, but now I have to propose to you no matter what!"

Qi Mu smiled slightly, and immediately stood up and knelt down on one knee, "Then are you willing to marry me?"
