just in time

On Saturdays and weekends, Yi Chenliang will go to the store to help out. Yunfang's store is located very well, and the business is booming. Sometimes Huang Chu will come down to help the leaders when he sees that they are too busy.

Zhao Fang has been pregnant for eight months, and Yi Chenliang was shocked when she found out, because Zhao Fang was too thin, and she couldn't tell she was pregnant at all.

"Very poor elder sister." Huang Chu chatted with him in his free time, "She and her husband went to work in the city, and that man hooked up with another married woman, and they were about to divorce. At that time, sister Zhao was already pregnant. It’s been five months, and I went to jump into the river in the cold winter months, and I cried for a long time, but I couldn’t let go of the child in my stomach.”

Yi Chenliang squatted at the door, turned to look at Zhao Fang.

Zhao Fang was packing things for the guests with a smile, gentle and patient.

"Husband is nothing. No one from her husband's family can help her, so she found me here." Huang Chu sat on the steps smoking a cigarette, "I helped her file a divorce lawsuit, but I couldn't help her get a penny."

Yi Chenliang looked at Huang Chu, "Why?"

"I won't give it to death, that man yelled that the child wasn't his, so he insisted on a paternity test." Huang Chu sneered, "At that time, paternity test was not good for the fetus. Sister Zhao was disheartened and just wanted to go with the child." He's divorced."

Yi Chenliang frowned, "Her husband is nothing."

Huang Chu smiled, "Not only that, he spread around the village that Sister Zhao was cheating on her and became pregnant. Everyone in the village knew about it, and she couldn't even go home. Everyone in the village believed that Sister Zhao was scolded when she went back to her mother's house." .”

Yi Chen was in a good mood, "But what he said was false."

"Sometimes people always believe what they want to believe." Huang Chu smiled, "It's so easy for that man to ruin Sister Zhao with just a few words."

Huang Chu has been underappreciated in the past few years, and finally managed to catch someone chatting, feeling quite emotional, "Sometimes I see this kind of thing too much, and I feel that there are not many good people in the world, and I feel that I am so fucking fucked up and not human. Animals thrive, but good people are cornered."

Yi Chenliang was silent for a while and said, "Sister Zhao will be a good mother."

"That's right." Huang Chu smiled. "You don't have to worry too much about the lawsuit. It's not a big problem. You'll be sixteen after your birthday. You'll be sure once you're done."

"Thank you." Yi Chenliang thanked very seriously, "Lawyer Huang, you are a good person."

"Oh, don't tell me." Huang Chu choked on his cigarette in fright, "Didn't this damn curse me?"

The two laughed at each other.

Speaking of birthday, Yi Chenliang remembered that his birthday was approaching. He had never celebrated his birthday before, but this year was different. He wanted to celebrate it with Yun Fang.

The birthday just happened to be on the weekend, so Yi Chenliang told Sister Zhao in advance that he would not be able to come at night, and asked Huang Chu to help, and then ran to the mall with confidence.

He stayed in the mall for a long time. He didn't know that birthday cakes needed to be made to order. After asking around, he said that they would not be able to make them until tomorrow morning at the earliest. Finally, he bought a small cupcake depressingly.

As a result, when he got home and opened the door, there was an unopened cake on the coffee table, and he froze in place.

Yun Fang poked his head out from the kitchen when he heard the movement, "Are you back?"

"En." Yi Chenliang responded, walked to the coffee table and stared at the cake box, "Did you buy the cake?"

"Isn't it your birthday today?" Yun Fang turned off the fire and came out of the kitchen, "I remember when I was a child I still wanted a birthday cake."

Yi Chenliang smiled, "Ah, it has to be chocolate."

"There must be a large circle of cream-painted waves and big red flowers on the side." Yun Fang also thought it was funny, "It would be better to have a beautiful sister to help light the candles."

Yi Chenliang chuckled, "From the TV show."

"I've remembered it for a long time." Yun Fang said, "I specifically told the boss about your specific requirements in detail."

Yi Chenliang touched his nose, "I don't really want big red flowers that much."

"Take it apart and have a look." Yun Fang smiled and said, "I haven't seen the final effect yet."

Yi Chenliang opened the cake box, both of them froze for a moment.

I don’t know if it’s something wrong with Yunfang’s description or the boss’s understanding. The cake is made of powdered chocolate powder. On one side are delicate and elegant yellow and white cream flowers, and on the other side is a palm-sized flower wearing a pink dress. A big-eyed doll with two buns, and a delicate blue bow on the gauze skirt.

Pretty is very pretty, but it might be a bit too much for a boy of sixteen or seventeen.

"This... can be regarded as a beautiful sister who helps light candles." Yun Fang poked the doll's ball head with his hand, and let out a laugh.

Yi Chenliang was overjoyed, and the two of them giggled at the doll for a long time before finally stopping.

"Light a candle and make a wish." Yun Fang motioned him to light the candle, then walked over and turned off the light in the living room.

Yi Chenliang lit two candles in the middle of the cake, the dancing flames illuminated half of his face, and the two of them sat on the edge of the coffee table and watched for a while.

"This is my first birthday." Yi Chenliang turned his head and asked him, "Did you celebrate your birthday?"

"No." Yun Fang narrowed his eyes and thought of something, and twitched the corners of his mouth, but there was no smile in his eyes.

Yi Chenliang didn't continue to ask.

The candle was half burned, Yun Fang reached out and rubbed his head, "Close your eyes and make a wish."

Yi Chenliang said: "Let's make a promise, I put two candles in."

Yun Fang smiled, "Okay, let's make a promise together."

"You also have to close your eyes." Yi Chenliang said.

Yun Fangquan coaxed the child and closed his eyes casually, but after closing his eyes, he couldn't help but make a wish.

The two candles were blown out together, and a few sparks flickered in the air.

Yun Fang opened his eyes in the dark, and could only vaguely see the outlines of things.

"What wish did you make?" Yi Chenliang asked him in the dark.

"I hope Xiao Yi is in good health and safe." Yun Fang turned her head with a smile, and was caught off guard by a soft touch on her lips, which was as soft as an illusion, and it fell apart instantly.

Yun Fang froze in place.

Yi Chenliang's voice sounded very close to him, "You haven't asked me what wish I made yet."

Yun Fang's throat felt a little stiff, and he subconsciously asked, "What... did you wish for?"

"I hope that Dayi can always be with me when I grow up." Yi Chenliang covered his eyes in the dark, and kissed his forehead.

"On New Year's Eve, I didn't break up. I said I like you, and that's how you kissed me. You also said—"

Yun Fang closed his eyes, regretting that he was trapped in a cocoon.

--New Year's Eve.

Yun Fang covered Yi Chenliang's eyes with his hand, lowered his head and kissed the back of his hand, his voice was barely audible: "But I'm a bad person."

Yi Chenliang was so drunk that he repeated stubbornly, "I like you."

Yun Fang's will, eroded by alcohol, finally completely collapsed. He lowered his head and kissed that stubborn and annoying mouth, and let his reason collapse under the guise of alcohol.

"I'm a bad guy." He seemed to be reminding Yi Chenliang, but also reminded himself that it's not too late to rein in the precipice.

But feelings run wild.

"But I like you."

Another kiss was gently printed on Yi Chenliang's forehead.
