Glued up by my father's nemesis
Chapter 35 3 in 1 million word chapter ...
After that day, Yan Fei seemed to have completely disappeared from Pei County, even Lin Yu rarely mentioned it again, only the newly made oil-paper umbrella leaning against the corner of Qi Jingsi's room was the evidence that Yan Fei had been there.
In a blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching again, and the work on the pier is becoming more and more leisurely, but Qi Jingsi's life seems to be getting more and more difficult——
Since Yan Fei stopped showing up, Lin Yu's spirit has also become worse and worse.
Even though Qi Jingsi was free now and had already done all the housework at home, he didn't dare to make Lin Yu suffer any more; even though he went to the doctor for a new medicine, Lin Yu's illness still didn't improve at all.
Almost every night, he would be woken up by the coughing next door several times. He put on his robe and went out of the room, wanting to pour Lin Yu a cup of hot water, but Lin Yu's door was always fastened tightly, and the cracks in the door were clear and transparent. There was a bright light, and he knocked on the door twice, but no one answered.
Looking at the dark blue in Lin Yu's eyes, Qi Jingsi asked many times, but Lin Yu always pretended that he had fallen asleep, but he forgot to turn off the lights, and never heard anyone knock on the door.
Today, Qi Jingsi bought some new year's goods in the street in the morning. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Lin Yu's eyes were dark and heavy again; he grabbed Lin Yu and questioned him for two hours until he brought the lunch to the table.
"Little uncle—" He held his rice bowl and sighed, "Why are you both like this? Are there any books that are so important that you can't read them during the day?"
"Us?" Ren Qi Jingsi was jumping up and down anxiously, but Lin Yu still had a calm expression on his face, and slowly picked up a piece of lean meat and put it into Qi Jingsi's bowl, "Who are you talking about?"
"Who else! Could it be you...you and..." Qi Jingsi seemed to lose her aura as she spoke, and hesitated for a long time before saying the name: "Yan Fei."
Lin Yu still had a calm face, and nodded lightly, "What's wrong with Xiaoyan?"
"No, it was the last time, when I went to visit my mother..." Qi Jingsi sighed impatiently, "I slept on my back all afternoon, and I didn't wake up anywhere. How long has it been since I slept fully?" Like."
"Xiaoyan was carried on Lanshan by you?" Lin Yu smiled and stroked Qi Jingsi's hair, "Our family Jingsi has grown up and knows how to love others."
Seeing Qi Jingsi avoiding his hand awkwardly, Lin Yu was not annoyed, and comforted him softly: "But don't blame Yan Fei, he probably hasn't had a full night's sleep for a long time."
"There are always some things he dares to look at at night, and some things he has to wait until dark to do."
"But even so, as soon as I told him to accompany you to Lanshan, he immediately agreed without sleeping all night. Should you go and thank him?"
Lin Yu actually called Yan Fei to accompany him that day?
Could it be that Lin Yu randomly picked a day for them to go up the mountain, and just happened to meet the cavalry down the mountain?
Qi Jingsi always felt that there was something strange, but he couldn't explain why, so he hooked his head uncomfortably and ate two mouthfuls of rice.
"What day is it today?" Lin Yu then asked.
"Are you so busy that you've lost your mind?" Qi Jingsi said angrily, "It's 28, it's the 28th of the twelfth lunar month!"
"I know." Lin Yu smiled gently, "I just want to remind you that Chinese New Year is coming."
"I know——" Qi Jingsi indicated with his eyes the pile of things that had just been bought in the morning and piled up in the corner, "Red paper, New Year's goods, according to the usual count, I've bought them all."
"But this year is different." Lin Yu didn't say anything, but deliberately asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "Aren't you going to work at the dock this afternoon?"
"It's New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow, who will go to work—" Qi Jingsi couldn't understand what Lin Yu wanted to say, "The foreman has to celebrate the New Year too."
"Yeah." Lin Yu nodded, "Then go find Yanfei in the afternoon."
Qi Jingsi stared at Lin Yu in surprise.
He suspects that the famous Mr. Guangji has used all that meticulous logic on himself. The links are intertwined and tight, and now he seems to be unable to find a reason to refuse.
"Why are you looking for him." He said stubbornly: "It's not like he doesn't know where the gate of our house is going to open, so he came here when he wanted to. Do you want me to invite you?"
Lin Yu said without showing weakness, "You are a young champion who doesn't know etiquette like you, will you come uninvited?"
"Uncle—" Qi Jingsi put down the bowl and chopsticks, "Isn't your partiality too obvious?"
After this year, Qi Jingsi will be nineteen, and if he is to be placed in an ordinary family, it is time to discuss marriage; outside he looks like a bully who is not easy to mess with, and he still has a little child in front of Lin Yu temper.
"Okay, okay, uncle is teasing you." Seeing this, Lin Yu immediately smiled and coaxed, "Why do you always have a bad face towards others?"
"Xiaoyan is the same age as you, so this is the first time you've been away from home for the New Year? You have time in the afternoon to tell someone that if you don't have a place to go on New Year's Eve, you can come home for a reunion dinner."
Qi Jingsi knows what it's like to be away from home for the first time for the New Year.
He still remembers that at about this time last year, he was walking in the snowy weather of Beijing City, unable to get up to the sky, unable to get down to the ground, and eating a bowl of hot wontons was also tasteless.
This time he didn't speak awkwardly any more, but nodded obediently.
After packing up the dishes and going out, it was overcast again. Lin Yu made himself a pot of hot tea in the main room, watched Qi Jingsi go out, and said as usual: "Remember to bring an umbrella."
While speaking, Qi Jingsi had already come to the gate of the courtyard, after thinking about it, she turned and ran back to the room, picked up the newly made oil-paper umbrella and hid it in her bosom, as if she was afraid of being seen, she ran away without a trace.
Lin Yu, who saw everything in his eyes, didn't say anything, but just smiled lightly while holding hot tea.
*****
Sure enough, before he reached the county government office, it started to rain, with a few sporadic snowflakes; the pedestrians on the street held up paper umbrellas and quickened their pace.
Only Qi Jingsi was holding an oiled paper umbrella as if holding a decoration, the closer he got to the government office, the slower his steps, the tiny flakes of snow were hanging on his thick eyelashes, he seemed unconscious.
Naturally, due to his status, he cannot enter the gate of the government office. When he was standing at the gate waiting for someone to pass on a message, he was holding a paper umbrella, stunned like a piece of wood; The guards guarding the gate of the government office couldn't help but look sideways.
"Jingsi?"
As soon as Yan Fei came out of the gate of the government office, he saw Qi Jingsi standing blankly in the thin sleet, he hurried up two steps, not paying attention to the wet and slippery icy stone steps under his feet, he almost fell down.
Qi Jingsi took two steps forward to support him, and the oil-paper umbrella she had been holding all the way finally fell out of her arms.
He caught the umbrella quickly with his eyes and hands, supported Yan Fei with one hand, and held the umbrella given by the other party in the other, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, he always felt awkward on his face.
"Isn't this an umbrella?" Yan Fei stared at the paper umbrella in Qi Jingsi's hand in confusion, "Why don't you hold it?"
He took the oil-paper umbrella from Qi Jingsi's hand, opened it and found that it was the one he had drawn before.
As usual, he stretched out his arm and raised the paper umbrella in his hand very high, but when he gently helped Qi Jingsi brush off the scattered snowflakes on his eyebrows and hair with his other hand, his movements were very natural.
When Yan Fei's cold fingertips caressed the center of her eyebrows, Qi Jingsi shuddered slightly.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Yan Fei's brows and eyes crooked with a smile, and looked up at the paper umbrella above their heads; he only knew that there was a picture of Yan Fei on the fan, but he didn't want to mention a poem on the inside——
Sunrise in the east and rain in the west, the road is sunny but sunny.
"Do you like it?" Yan Fei looked at Qi Jingsi and asked softly.
Qi Jingsi looked at the delicate and smiling eyebrows with anticipation in front of him, and also looked at the poem above his head that he could understand even with the little ink in his stomach.
Although he didn't know where to put his eyes, he still replied softly like a ghost: "I like it."
Sensing the cautious gaze projected from the gate of the government office, Yan Fei tugged on Qi Jingsi's sleeve and led him to the back alley.
Knowing that what he was doing was risky, he didn't want too many people to know that he knew Qi Jingsi well, and he didn't want to involve Qi Jingsi.
Qi Jingsi was dragged away, took the paper umbrella in Yan Fei's hand, turned around and saw some strange eyes at the gate of the yamen, and asked after a while: "Are you afraid of being seen?"
"No...not." Taking people to the back alley away from the government office, Yan Fei stammered: "There are too many people in the government office with corpses and vegetarian meals. They have nothing to do when they are full. They are always like gossips in the market. Love to gossip."
"Yes, it doesn't matter." Although Qi Jingsi was noncommittal, the look in his eyes darkened, "Little uncle is afraid that you have no place to go on New Year's Eve, so let me ask you if you can come to the house. If it is inconvenient for you, you don't have to be polite. I He will be back."
"no!"
Seeing Qi Jingsi return the umbrella to his hand again, turned around and walked out of the umbrella, Yan Fei trotted two steps and grabbed him, "No inconvenience, no politeness, no fear of being seen—"
"Qi Jingsi, I will definitely come!"
Qi Jingsi didn't turn her head, just nodded lightly and said, "Okay."
"Take the umbrella away." Yan Fei went around to Qi Jingsi, took Qi Jingsi's hand, and handed the umbrella back again, "I'm just a few steps away from the back door."
He hugged Qi Jingsi lightly on tiptoe, leaned gently in Qi Jingsi's ear and whispered: "Don't catch a cold."
After Yan Fei finished speaking, he turned and ran away, so in the sleet, Qi Jingsi held an umbrella and stood silently for a long time.
Thinking of Yan Fei's eyes being as black as Lin Yu's, Cai Cai's stomach was full of anger just now, and it seemed that he couldn't get angry at all.
*****
On New Year's Eve, Qi Jingsi woke up early, and he deliberately delayed until today, when all the shops on the street were closed, before taking out the clothes newly made for Lin Yu. He was afraid that if Lin Yu knew too early, he would Let him go to the street to return it.
This time Lin Yu was not as frugal as usual, and changed into new clothes when he returned home.
Qi Jingsi has been guarding the door, looking outside and inside the door from time to time.
When Lin Yu finally came out in a newly made green shirt, Qi Jingsi always felt that something looked wrong. It was clearly cut according to the size of Lin Yu's old clothes, and it seemed to be a bit wider.
Just as he was trying to persuade Lin Yu to have a good rest at night, but before he could say anything, he heard a soft "squeak" from the door outside the courtyard.
He turned his head and saw Yan Fei entering the door carrying a pack of festive red paper wrapped New Year's goods, last time he was close and didn't take a good look at the whole picture, now it seems that Yan Fei has lost a lot these days.
"Little uncle." Yan Fei hurriedly bowed to Lin Yu as soon as he entered the door, "Auspicious New Year."
"Good boy." Lin Yu rarely smiled like this, "After dinner, uncle will give you lucky money."
"Uncle, Yan Fei is nineteen years old, how dare you accept the New Year's money." Yan Fei handed the gift in his hand to Qi Jingsi who was beside him, "Uncle, why don't you give me a letter to go home as an offering."
Qi Jingsi took the things Yan Fei brought and put them aside, watched the harmonious exchange of greetings between the two at the door, and whispered in Yan Fei's ear, "It's really the young owner of Heyi Tower, he really knows how to do business."
"Mr. Guangji's handwriting, how can I be willing to sell it—" Yan Fei looked in a good mood, and didn't care about Qi Jingsi's squeeze, "Why don't you write one for me too? I'll offer it together."
Qi Jingsi gave Yan Fei a sideways look, and walked towards the east kitchen with her things.
Lin Yu looked at the two children and joked, like a loving father, "Recently, Jingsi cooks, you haven't made dumplings yet? Do you want to follow along?"
When Qi Jingsi heard the movement, before Yan Fei could answer, he turned around and stopped him, "Farewell, you call someone to make trouble, should you eat or not to eat this New Year's dinner?"
Seeing the two similar blue shirts by the door, they were so thin that they could barely support the clothes, so he didn't get angry.
"This year's Spring Festival couplets haven't been written yet, I've bought all the red paper—" He said angrily, "Don't disturb me, the two champions, let's do something we can do, okay?"
Facts have proved that the two three-yuan and first-ranked, rare champions got together and still couldn't get the simple Spring Festival couplets done.
Qi Jingsi was busy in the kitchen when she heard some unusual movement outside the house. She opened the curtain and walked out of the house to see that the two champions were struggling to find a wooden ladder from the small room next door where the sundries were piled up.
"You..." Qi Jingsi frowned, "What are you doing?"
"Banner..." Yan Fei cautiously raised his eyes to look at Qi Jingsi, pointed to the direction of the courtyard gate, and said timidly, "I can't reach it..."
Qi Jingsi sighed exaggeratedly, took the Spring Festival couplet written in Yan Fei's hand, and led the way out of the courtyard.
His ancestral home in Pei County was not the Qi's Mansion in Beijing City. The height of the lintel of the courtyard gate was a bit difficult for Yan Fei and Lin Yu, but it was not difficult for Qi Jingsi.
He stood at the gate of the courtyard and raised the banner in his hand above his head, comparing positions in vain, when he suddenly heard Yan Fei's voice behind him——
"To the left, a little further to the left."
It's just that this very common sentence already brought tears to his eyes.
At this time last year, he walked out of the gate of Qi's mansion, and the servants in the mansion were sticking up ladders/children to stick Spring Festival couplets; he was very homesick at that time, and wanted to hear Lin Yu say behind his back, "The left side is higher. , lower on the right."
Although it is not Lin Yu who is speaking now, when he turns his head, his eyes full of tears can see Yan Fei raising his hand high and still gesturing to the left; Lin Yu is standing aside with a smile, kindly Looking at Yan Fei and himself "playing nonsense" at the side.
"Little uncle—" He turned around after putting up the banner, his throat already choked up.
"What's the matter, this is it?" Lin Yu saw Qi Jingsi's strangeness, stepped forward and hugged his shoulders, and pampered his heart like when he was a child, "He also said that he was nineteen years old , more and more like a child now—"
As he said that, he smiled at Yan Fei beside him, "I'm not afraid that our little Zhuangyuan Lang will see your jokes."
The more indulgent Lin Yi's voice was, the more disappointing Qi Jingsi's tears became. He glanced in Yan Fei's direction with some reluctance, only to find that Yan Fei had already walked beside him.
He looked at Yan Fei with a smile and shook his head at himself, raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears that he was holding back from the corners of his eyes.
*****
Later Yan Fei insisted on helping in the kitchen, and when the reunion dinner was on the table, Qi Jingsi, who was in charge of the spoon, washed his face and sat down cleanly, but Yan Fei, who really didn't help much, was covered with flour.
Lin Yu watched the two people come out of the kitchen carrying the dishes, and couldn't hold back a laugh. He teased and said, "I can't tell who made this meal."
During the banquet, the two champions chatted and laughed happily. Lin Yu even opened a pot of wine happily on a rare occasion, and made a drinking order with Yan Fei. It only made the cook work hard all afternoon, and now he still has to hook his head to pick fishbone.
"Jing Si." Lin Yu drank half a pot of wine, and put away five points of his usual restraint. He stared at the half plate of fish in Qi Jingsi's hand, "You are cooking today, why did you still do this?" troublesome stuff."
"There are 'fish' every year." Qi Jingsi kept moving his hands, but he refused to admit defeat, "Today's New Year's Eve, who doesn't have fish on the table."
He said angrily and pushed half a plate of cleaned fish in front of Yan Fei, "You and I don't like to eat it, it's better than throwing it away and wasting it."
Yan Fei had already fully understood Qi Jingsi's cold-hearted and kind-hearted temperament, took half a plate of fish and put it to his mouth, grinning foolishly at Qi Jingsi, without the slightest hint of the cleverness of a champion.
He smiled and nodded at Qi Jingsi, with a sweet mouth, he praised without hesitation, "It's so delicious! You can't even let the cooks in Heyi Tower go down!"
There was laughter and laughter at the table. Although Qi Jingsi felt that he had never been treated badly in every New Year's Eve he spent with Lin Yu, he had never had such a lively New Year's Eve.
After the meal, Yan Fei and Qi Jingsi tidied up again. After everything was tidied up, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from the street.
Yan Fei sensitively noticed that the warm atmosphere in the room was getting colder amidst the noise of firecrackers.
Qi Jingsi and Yan Fei stepped out of the east kitchen, and saw that Lin Yu had already unpacked the gift that Yan Fei had brought and put it on the table.
"Jingsi." Lin Yu greeted Qi Jingsi to his side, "I see that there are firecrackers and fireworks in the things Xiaoyan brought, you two young people should go out and join in the fun."
Qi Jingsi stared at the things on the table, hesitated and called out: "Little uncle..."
"What's the matter?" Lin Yu looked at Qi Jingsi lovingly, "Didn't you always blame your uncle for not taking you there when you were young? Today, someone just happens to be with you."
Qi Jingsi looked at Lin Yu and frowned.
When he was a child, Lin Yu didn't like to take him out to the streets, especially on New Year's Eve, when he bought firecrackers, he would throw them away in the courtyard at most. He envied the children in groups outside the courtyard, and asked Lin Yu many times why he didn't bring himself go.
Lin Yu always held him in his arms silently and apologized to him. Only once did he hear Lin Yu whispering to himself: "I won't disturb others on this happy day."
Later, when he grew up, Lin Yu could rest assured that he would go out alone, but he never went to join in the fun.
There were still groups of children and teenagers on the street, but none of them were Qi Jingsi's friends.
"Little uncle." Qi Jingsi picked up the firecrackers and fireworks brought by Yan Fei on the table with one hand, took the initiative to wrap Yan Fei's shoulders with the other hand, and smiled at Lin Yu, "Let's go together."
"No." Lin Yu smiled softly, "It's cold at night, and you cough at night after breathing in the air-conditioning, you should nag again—"
"At a young age, he's more verbose than a doctor with a white beard."
Lin Yu expressed disgust, but he still walked into the room and found two cloaks, and handed them to Yan Fei, who was still empty-handed and bowed his head shyly.
"Things that are born after you are young, I will join in the fun when I am old."
"You two should wear more clothes. Don't catch a cold, and don't play wild. Uncle left a lamp for the gate of the courtyard, waiting for you to come back."
*****
Although Qi Jingsi couldn't go to the streets to join in the fun when he was young, Lin Yu would always sell some fireworks and firecrackers to play with him in the small courtyard. Now he led Yan Fei to the street, and there were only two firecrackers at hand, which made people hide in fright behind the tree.
"Heh—" He rarely laughed out loud, looking at Yan Fei behind the tree with only a corner of his clothes showing, "Are you really scared?"
Qi Jingsi refused to put on the cloak, Yan Fei had been holding her in her arms obediently, but when she heard that there was no movement on the other side of the tree, she came out slowly, and nodded embarrassingly.
Qi Jingsi lowered his head and blew out the fire folder in his hand, "When you were a child, the Heyi Tower was not as beautiful as it is now, but it's not so bad, is it? Your parents didn't buy these for you?"
Yan Fei still shook his head and muttered softly, "It's my father who refuses to let me."
Qi Jingsi walked to Yan Fei's side, leaned directly on the tree trunk beside him without paying attention, he didn't ask any more questions, just waited for Yan Fei to be willing, and then continued talking.
Yan Fei was still afraid that Qi Jingsi would catch a cold, so he tugged on the other party's sleeve considerately, and put the cloak in his hand behind Qi Jingsi, before continuing.
"My eyesight is not very good now. When the light is dark at night, I can't see clearly. But when I was a child, it was much worse than now. So when it gets dark, my father won't let me go out."
"What about your mother?" Qi Jingsi replied in a timely manner, not wanting Yan Fei to feel that he was talking to himself.
"My mother?" Yan Fei smiled softly, "She always listens to my father."
Seeing Qi Jingsi bowing her head silently, remembering that Qi Jingsi had a father who left him in his hometown for more than ten years, Yan Fei knew that Qi Jingsi might be thinking too much, so he quickly explained——
"It's not what you think, my father treats my mother very well, so good that—"
"It's so good that I think people who love each other in the world should be like them."
Yan Chengli is now a wealthy party, but the Heyi Tower back then was just a two-story restaurant, and Yan Chengli didn't even own the title deed.
Twenty years have passed, and now everyone knows that the No.1 prostitute in Beijing went to Fu Jia, but few people knew about it back then——
Yan Chengli, who guards the second-floor building, can't afford the money at all for the girl who is the number one leader in Beijing City; it was Yan Fei's mother who used her life savings to save enough money to redeem herself. , Married, honesty and good faith.
"It's easy to find a priceless treasure, but it's rare to have a lover." Yan Fei said softly, "My mother said she doesn't regret it."
The No. 1 prostitute in Beijing back then was exquisite and translucent, and she had read countless people. Facts have proved that she was not mistaken.
After marriage, Yan Fei was born. It was the crystallization of their love. Yan Chengli placed high hopes on him;
In order to take good care of her son who was born with eye disease, Yan's mother asked Yan Chengli to discuss that she might not have the energy to take care of another child, but Yan Chengli agreed after only a moment of silence.
So far, Yan Fei has become the only son of Yan Chengli, a rich man.
"My father did have high hopes for me. He hoped that I would be successful and shine in my family. He may not have asked me what I wanted, but—" Yan Fei took a deep breath and said, "Every decision he made to my mother Very respectful."
So it was also because of Qi Jingsi's enough respect that Yan Fei realized for the first time that this person might be different from others.
"What about your mother?" It was rare for Qi Jingsi to talk to Yan Fei in such a serious manner: "She thinks the same?"
"My mother didn't want me to be successful. Like most mothers in the world, she only wants me to be safe and healthy." Speaking of his mother, Yan Fei's smile is gentle and proud, "It's just because of me that she gave up. Being a mother again, I will always feel ashamed of my father—"
"Although she feels guilty that she failed to give birth to a healthy child for the Yan family, she never mentions a word to me."
"My father told me these things. I am close to my mother. He hopes to use it to spur me and hope that I will be successful."
"Then your mother—" Qi Jingsi enviously said, "I must have treated you very well."
"You think my mother must spoil me very much, and it hurts to hold me in her palm?" Yan Fei covered his lips and chuckled, "Not at all."
"On the contrary, my father is like this. He is always worried that something will happen to me, and won't let me go out at night; but my mother is very strict with me. In her heart, she has always regarded me as an ordinary child, no different from other healthy children. .”
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked seriously into Qi Jingsi's eyes, "Actually, sometimes you look like my mother."
They all treat him as an ordinary person, equality never underestimates, caring but no mercy.
When Yan Fei was only a few years old, because of eye disease, no school would accept him. At that time, Yan Chengli invited his husband to teach at home; after a few years, Yan's mother couldn't bear to see her son always sitting alone. Reading behind the counter, with no brothers or sisters, and no peers to accompany him, he discussed with Yan's father whether to send the child to the academy.
At that time, Yan Fei's eye disease had improved a lot, and Yan Chengli's business was getting bigger and bigger, going out could make Yin Zi say a few words, so Yan Fei was sent to the academy on the basis of his relationship.
"At that time, I blamed my mother." Yan Fei said softly.
Because Yan's mother opened a room for Yan Fei, who was a few years old, to sleep alone, but refused to give him a hug when he left, and because his mother always insisted that he go to and from school by himself, not even letting him bring a school boy.
His little one often fell down on the road, and his knee didn't have a good piece of flesh in those two years. Naughty children often threw stones at him and bullied him by the side of the road.
At that time, the scale of Heyi Tower was not small, Yanfu's maids, sedan chairs and carriages, what do you want? Yan Fei, who was a few years old, didn't understand why his mother was so cruel to him.
"I drink a lot of decoction every day, and my eyes are getting better day by day, but because I was angry with my mother, I have never admitted that I have improved a lot, so I am awkward in my heart, wanting to see when my mother will soften her heart Can feel sorry for me."
Yan Fei sighed, "Until my eyes were almost healed, it was almost unaffected during the day, but I couldn't see clearly the small things that were too far away, but my parents were kept in the dark at that time."
Until one day when Yan Fei was on his way to school, he saw a small puddle not far away, and he was ready to go around it, but saw a plain-clothed woman rushing out from the side of the road.
The woman picked up a few stones on the side of the road and put them in the puddle with her hands and feet. She seemed afraid that someone would step on the slippery stone and slip, so she tore off half of her skirt and spread it on the puddle.
"At that time, my eyesight was almost better, but just like now, I couldn't see the faces of people standing too far away; I didn't realize until I chased up..." Yan Fei's throat choked, "" That woman... actually..."
"It's my mother."
Qi Jingsi didn't have a mother, but she couldn't help but feel a little moved when she heard this, "She..."
"In fact, she follows me every day on the way to and from school, so she has already blocked me from danger." Yan Fei wiped his tears stubbornly with his sleeves, "She wants me to do everything by myself, but Because she doesn't know if my eyes will recover..."
"She is cruel and unwilling to spoil me because she is worried that if my eyes don't get better, she also hopes that I can live like an ordinary person, and I won't feel inferior because of my eye disease, and I won't be dragged down by my eye disease."
"But actually..." He finally broke down in tears, "She is more worried about me than anyone else..."
Qi Jingsi finally understands now why Yan Fei can always face the eyes and doubts in the academy with gentleness and politeness; also finally understands why Yan Fei is such a gentle person, but there is a faint stubbornness that does not match in his bones.
He is not Yan Fei, even with only a faint moonlight, he can still see the crystal tears on the other's face.
He didn't have the experience of comforting others, he just took two steps forward dully, grabbed the back of Yan Fei's head, and pressed the person on his shoulder.
"Crying at such a big age, it's so ugly." He comforted bluntly, "I'm not wearing new clothes anyway, so I'll let you wipe them clean."
Yan Fei leaned on Qi Jingsi's shoulder, understood Qi Jingsi's awkward gentleness, and couldn't help laughing through tears.
He really wiped away his tears with Qi Jingsi's clothes, "Aside from setting off firecrackers, is there anything else?"
"Is there..." He raised his head and smiled at Qi Jingsi shyly, "Slower?"
"Yes." Qi Jingsi was also amused by Yan Fei's tears and smile, "Pray for the sky lantern, let it go?"
Yan Fei shook his head.
"It's the Kongming Lantern. It is said that if you write your wish on it and put it in the sky, it will be seen by the Immortal Daluo nine days away." Qi Jingsi said and looked towards the sky. lamp to heaven."
"Then..." Yan Fei tugged at Qi Jingsi's sleeve again, "Shall we go too?"
*****
There is a large open area next to the Linxian Building in Peishui, where many young men and girls gather, holding a praying lantern that has not yet ascended to heaven, busy writing and drawing on it.
Qi Jingsi also took out a few copper coins and bought one from the old man who set up the stall.
His own two strokes are shady, and he only wrote one line in a secretive way; but Yan Fei, who couldn't see clearly, still wished he could stick his eyes on the paper covered with lamps, as if he had written an article densely. The cited article.
The praying sky lantern still lived up to expectations, and it rose steadily into the air in Qi Jingsi's hands.
Yan Fei clasped his hands together and prayed silently. He finally opened his eyes until the sky lantern flew so high that Qi Jingsi couldn't tell which one was his.
He turned his head and gave Qi Jingsi a gentle smile, facing the flickering flames in the sky——
"What did you wish for?"
"How can I tell you this?" After tossing and tossing for a long time that night, Qi Jingsi threw up the cloak and put it on his shoulders, then turned and walked towards home, "It won't work if I say it."
"How could it be? As long as the wish is made sincerely, the Daluo gods in the sky can see it, why can't the people close to me know?" Yan Fei turned around and followed Qi Jingsi's footsteps, and said resolutely: "Besides, making a wish is not easy. Is it always people's own psychological comfort? Whether it can be realized or not depends on one's own efforts, otherwise the gods will not be able to help."
Linxian Tower had already left the county seat of Pei County, and now it was away from the crowded open space beside the building just now, and there was not even a single light on the way back to the city.
Qi Jingsi could find his way by the moonlight, but Yan Fei couldn't, he was just nagging Qi Jingsi, he didn't pay attention to his feet, and Qi Jingsi had long legs, so he was already walking fast, so he almost fell when he trotted two steps.
Qi Jingsi caught him with a look of disgust, "How can you not shut your mouth while walking?"
"Then..." Yan Fei was hugged by Qi Jingsi, and bowed his head shyly, "I don't even need to walk with my mouth..."
Qi Jingsi sighed helplessly, knowing that he would probably not be as stubborn as Yan Fei in his life, so he could only shake his head and say, "Then tell me, what is your wish?"
"I—" With Qi Jingsi's reply, Yan Fei immediately forgot about the embarrassment just now, and followed happily, "I hope the world is peaceful and the people are well."
"I hope that the government will be clear and the sea will be clear and the river will be clear."
"I also hope that everything is well at home, and I also hope that my little uncle's health will recover, and—"
As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice and lowered his head in shame, "I hope my sweetheart is safe and well, and it's best to like me too..."
"You..." Qi Jingsi's steps stopped, her breathing was chaotic, "Is there... a sweetheart?"
"En." Yan Fei nodded affirmatively, but did not intend to continue the topic with Qi Jingsi, "Is there too much I want? Will Immortal Da Luo refuse to agree?"
Qi Jingsi regretted asking the question just now, now that Yan Fei didn't continue, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said casually, "Didn't you say you had to work hard on your own?"
"Qi Jingsi." Yan Fei suddenly grabbed Qi Jingsi from behind, waited for Qi Jingsi to turn around, then looked into Qi Jingsi's eyes and said seriously: "I will definitely work very hard."
*****
The two walked back to the familiar small courtyard under the moonlight, Qi Jingsi saw the lantern hanging at the gate of the courtyard from afar, and felt warm in his heart.
When he entered the door, he quietly extinguished the candle, and pulled Yan Fei, but no one made a sound.
"Are you back?" Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yan Fei put down the pen in his hand and walked out of the room, "There was no movement at all."
"Little Uncle." Qi Jingsi called obediently, "I thought you had a rest."
Lin Yu smiled softly, "I agreed to wait for you."
"It's not too early—" Yan Fei politely saluted at the door, "Little uncle, then Yan Fei is going back first."
"Go back?" Lin Yu frowned and said, "It's the middle of the night and you are alone, where are you going back?"

"Talking Tuberculosis at the same table is chasing after me" (main attack), a campus essay of the healing department.
Disgusted of being arrogant and arrogant, a school bully and a school bully (Ding Jinyu) x a warm and talkative little Sunshine Shou (Ming Xi)
Copy:
Because being dependent on others since childhood, transferring schools has always been the main theme of Ding Jinyu's life; until the second year of high school, he finally returned to his childhood hometown as he wished.
In order to live a stable life for a while, he decided to restrain his temper this time and be a transparent person in school, but he never expected...
On the first day of school, he almost beat someone at the door of the principal's office.
It doesn't matter if you break the merits, the key is that some people misunderstood that the purpose of the attack was to help him, what a coincidence——
This "he" also became his deskmate.
His new tablemate is Ming Xi, with a warm smile and dimples, but he talks too much——
It looks like flowers in a greenhouse.
Ding Jinyu keeps a respectful distance from his new tablemate who is destined to be different from him, but he doesn't want to...
The new tablemate is chasing after him!
An accident caused Ding Jinyu to be displaced again, so he was pushed into his house by the chatterbox who had been sticking to him.
丁瑾
In a blink of an eye, the New Year is approaching again, and the work on the pier is becoming more and more leisurely, but Qi Jingsi's life seems to be getting more and more difficult——
Since Yan Fei stopped showing up, Lin Yu's spirit has also become worse and worse.
Even though Qi Jingsi was free now and had already done all the housework at home, he didn't dare to make Lin Yu suffer any more; even though he went to the doctor for a new medicine, Lin Yu's illness still didn't improve at all.
Almost every night, he would be woken up by the coughing next door several times. He put on his robe and went out of the room, wanting to pour Lin Yu a cup of hot water, but Lin Yu's door was always fastened tightly, and the cracks in the door were clear and transparent. There was a bright light, and he knocked on the door twice, but no one answered.
Looking at the dark blue in Lin Yu's eyes, Qi Jingsi asked many times, but Lin Yu always pretended that he had fallen asleep, but he forgot to turn off the lights, and never heard anyone knock on the door.
Today, Qi Jingsi bought some new year's goods in the street in the morning. As soon as he entered the door, he saw that Lin Yu's eyes were dark and heavy again; he grabbed Lin Yu and questioned him for two hours until he brought the lunch to the table.
"Little uncle—" He held his rice bowl and sighed, "Why are you both like this? Are there any books that are so important that you can't read them during the day?"
"Us?" Ren Qi Jingsi was jumping up and down anxiously, but Lin Yu still had a calm expression on his face, and slowly picked up a piece of lean meat and put it into Qi Jingsi's bowl, "Who are you talking about?"
"Who else! Could it be you...you and..." Qi Jingsi seemed to lose her aura as she spoke, and hesitated for a long time before saying the name: "Yan Fei."
Lin Yu still had a calm face, and nodded lightly, "What's wrong with Xiaoyan?"
"No, it was the last time, when I went to visit my mother..." Qi Jingsi sighed impatiently, "I slept on my back all afternoon, and I didn't wake up anywhere. How long has it been since I slept fully?" Like."
"Xiaoyan was carried on Lanshan by you?" Lin Yu smiled and stroked Qi Jingsi's hair, "Our family Jingsi has grown up and knows how to love others."
Seeing Qi Jingsi avoiding his hand awkwardly, Lin Yu was not annoyed, and comforted him softly: "But don't blame Yan Fei, he probably hasn't had a full night's sleep for a long time."
"There are always some things he dares to look at at night, and some things he has to wait until dark to do."
"But even so, as soon as I told him to accompany you to Lanshan, he immediately agreed without sleeping all night. Should you go and thank him?"
Lin Yu actually called Yan Fei to accompany him that day?
Could it be that Lin Yu randomly picked a day for them to go up the mountain, and just happened to meet the cavalry down the mountain?
Qi Jingsi always felt that there was something strange, but he couldn't explain why, so he hooked his head uncomfortably and ate two mouthfuls of rice.
"What day is it today?" Lin Yu then asked.
"Are you so busy that you've lost your mind?" Qi Jingsi said angrily, "It's 28, it's the 28th of the twelfth lunar month!"
"I know." Lin Yu smiled gently, "I just want to remind you that Chinese New Year is coming."
"I know——" Qi Jingsi indicated with his eyes the pile of things that had just been bought in the morning and piled up in the corner, "Red paper, New Year's goods, according to the usual count, I've bought them all."
"But this year is different." Lin Yu didn't say anything, but deliberately asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "Aren't you going to work at the dock this afternoon?"
"It's New Year's Eve the day after tomorrow, who will go to work—" Qi Jingsi couldn't understand what Lin Yu wanted to say, "The foreman has to celebrate the New Year too."
"Yeah." Lin Yu nodded, "Then go find Yanfei in the afternoon."
Qi Jingsi stared at Lin Yu in surprise.
He suspects that the famous Mr. Guangji has used all that meticulous logic on himself. The links are intertwined and tight, and now he seems to be unable to find a reason to refuse.
"Why are you looking for him." He said stubbornly: "It's not like he doesn't know where the gate of our house is going to open, so he came here when he wanted to. Do you want me to invite you?"
Lin Yu said without showing weakness, "You are a young champion who doesn't know etiquette like you, will you come uninvited?"
"Uncle—" Qi Jingsi put down the bowl and chopsticks, "Isn't your partiality too obvious?"
After this year, Qi Jingsi will be nineteen, and if he is to be placed in an ordinary family, it is time to discuss marriage; outside he looks like a bully who is not easy to mess with, and he still has a little child in front of Lin Yu temper.
"Okay, okay, uncle is teasing you." Seeing this, Lin Yu immediately smiled and coaxed, "Why do you always have a bad face towards others?"
"Xiaoyan is the same age as you, so this is the first time you've been away from home for the New Year? You have time in the afternoon to tell someone that if you don't have a place to go on New Year's Eve, you can come home for a reunion dinner."
Qi Jingsi knows what it's like to be away from home for the first time for the New Year.
He still remembers that at about this time last year, he was walking in the snowy weather of Beijing City, unable to get up to the sky, unable to get down to the ground, and eating a bowl of hot wontons was also tasteless.
This time he didn't speak awkwardly any more, but nodded obediently.
After packing up the dishes and going out, it was overcast again. Lin Yu made himself a pot of hot tea in the main room, watched Qi Jingsi go out, and said as usual: "Remember to bring an umbrella."
While speaking, Qi Jingsi had already come to the gate of the courtyard, after thinking about it, she turned and ran back to the room, picked up the newly made oil-paper umbrella and hid it in her bosom, as if she was afraid of being seen, she ran away without a trace.
Lin Yu, who saw everything in his eyes, didn't say anything, but just smiled lightly while holding hot tea.
*****
Sure enough, before he reached the county government office, it started to rain, with a few sporadic snowflakes; the pedestrians on the street held up paper umbrellas and quickened their pace.
Only Qi Jingsi was holding an oiled paper umbrella as if holding a decoration, the closer he got to the government office, the slower his steps, the tiny flakes of snow were hanging on his thick eyelashes, he seemed unconscious.
Naturally, due to his status, he cannot enter the gate of the government office. When he was standing at the gate waiting for someone to pass on a message, he was holding a paper umbrella, stunned like a piece of wood; The guards guarding the gate of the government office couldn't help but look sideways.
"Jingsi?"
As soon as Yan Fei came out of the gate of the government office, he saw Qi Jingsi standing blankly in the thin sleet, he hurried up two steps, not paying attention to the wet and slippery icy stone steps under his feet, he almost fell down.
Qi Jingsi took two steps forward to support him, and the oil-paper umbrella she had been holding all the way finally fell out of her arms.
He caught the umbrella quickly with his eyes and hands, supported Yan Fei with one hand, and held the umbrella given by the other party in the other, but he couldn't tell what was wrong, he always felt awkward on his face.
"Isn't this an umbrella?" Yan Fei stared at the paper umbrella in Qi Jingsi's hand in confusion, "Why don't you hold it?"
He took the oil-paper umbrella from Qi Jingsi's hand, opened it and found that it was the one he had drawn before.
As usual, he stretched out his arm and raised the paper umbrella in his hand very high, but when he gently helped Qi Jingsi brush off the scattered snowflakes on his eyebrows and hair with his other hand, his movements were very natural.
When Yan Fei's cold fingertips caressed the center of her eyebrows, Qi Jingsi shuddered slightly.
When he opened his eyes again, he saw Yan Fei's brows and eyes crooked with a smile, and looked up at the paper umbrella above their heads; he only knew that there was a picture of Yan Fei on the fan, but he didn't want to mention a poem on the inside——
Sunrise in the east and rain in the west, the road is sunny but sunny.
"Do you like it?" Yan Fei looked at Qi Jingsi and asked softly.
Qi Jingsi looked at the delicate and smiling eyebrows with anticipation in front of him, and also looked at the poem above his head that he could understand even with the little ink in his stomach.
Although he didn't know where to put his eyes, he still replied softly like a ghost: "I like it."
Sensing the cautious gaze projected from the gate of the government office, Yan Fei tugged on Qi Jingsi's sleeve and led him to the back alley.
Knowing that what he was doing was risky, he didn't want too many people to know that he knew Qi Jingsi well, and he didn't want to involve Qi Jingsi.
Qi Jingsi was dragged away, took the paper umbrella in Yan Fei's hand, turned around and saw some strange eyes at the gate of the yamen, and asked after a while: "Are you afraid of being seen?"
"No...not." Taking people to the back alley away from the government office, Yan Fei stammered: "There are too many people in the government office with corpses and vegetarian meals. They have nothing to do when they are full. They are always like gossips in the market. Love to gossip."
"Yes, it doesn't matter." Although Qi Jingsi was noncommittal, the look in his eyes darkened, "Little uncle is afraid that you have no place to go on New Year's Eve, so let me ask you if you can come to the house. If it is inconvenient for you, you don't have to be polite. I He will be back."
"no!"
Seeing Qi Jingsi return the umbrella to his hand again, turned around and walked out of the umbrella, Yan Fei trotted two steps and grabbed him, "No inconvenience, no politeness, no fear of being seen—"
"Qi Jingsi, I will definitely come!"
Qi Jingsi didn't turn her head, just nodded lightly and said, "Okay."
"Take the umbrella away." Yan Fei went around to Qi Jingsi, took Qi Jingsi's hand, and handed the umbrella back again, "I'm just a few steps away from the back door."
He hugged Qi Jingsi lightly on tiptoe, leaned gently in Qi Jingsi's ear and whispered: "Don't catch a cold."
After Yan Fei finished speaking, he turned and ran away, so in the sleet, Qi Jingsi held an umbrella and stood silently for a long time.
Thinking of Yan Fei's eyes being as black as Lin Yu's, Cai Cai's stomach was full of anger just now, and it seemed that he couldn't get angry at all.
*****
On New Year's Eve, Qi Jingsi woke up early, and he deliberately delayed until today, when all the shops on the street were closed, before taking out the clothes newly made for Lin Yu. He was afraid that if Lin Yu knew too early, he would Let him go to the street to return it.
This time Lin Yu was not as frugal as usual, and changed into new clothes when he returned home.
Qi Jingsi has been guarding the door, looking outside and inside the door from time to time.
When Lin Yu finally came out in a newly made green shirt, Qi Jingsi always felt that something looked wrong. It was clearly cut according to the size of Lin Yu's old clothes, and it seemed to be a bit wider.
Just as he was trying to persuade Lin Yu to have a good rest at night, but before he could say anything, he heard a soft "squeak" from the door outside the courtyard.
He turned his head and saw Yan Fei entering the door carrying a pack of festive red paper wrapped New Year's goods, last time he was close and didn't take a good look at the whole picture, now it seems that Yan Fei has lost a lot these days.
"Little uncle." Yan Fei hurriedly bowed to Lin Yu as soon as he entered the door, "Auspicious New Year."
"Good boy." Lin Yu rarely smiled like this, "After dinner, uncle will give you lucky money."
"Uncle, Yan Fei is nineteen years old, how dare you accept the New Year's money." Yan Fei handed the gift in his hand to Qi Jingsi who was beside him, "Uncle, why don't you give me a letter to go home as an offering."
Qi Jingsi took the things Yan Fei brought and put them aside, watched the harmonious exchange of greetings between the two at the door, and whispered in Yan Fei's ear, "It's really the young owner of Heyi Tower, he really knows how to do business."
"Mr. Guangji's handwriting, how can I be willing to sell it—" Yan Fei looked in a good mood, and didn't care about Qi Jingsi's squeeze, "Why don't you write one for me too? I'll offer it together."
Qi Jingsi gave Yan Fei a sideways look, and walked towards the east kitchen with her things.
Lin Yu looked at the two children and joked, like a loving father, "Recently, Jingsi cooks, you haven't made dumplings yet? Do you want to follow along?"
When Qi Jingsi heard the movement, before Yan Fei could answer, he turned around and stopped him, "Farewell, you call someone to make trouble, should you eat or not to eat this New Year's dinner?"
Seeing the two similar blue shirts by the door, they were so thin that they could barely support the clothes, so he didn't get angry.
"This year's Spring Festival couplets haven't been written yet, I've bought all the red paper—" He said angrily, "Don't disturb me, the two champions, let's do something we can do, okay?"
Facts have proved that the two three-yuan and first-ranked, rare champions got together and still couldn't get the simple Spring Festival couplets done.
Qi Jingsi was busy in the kitchen when she heard some unusual movement outside the house. She opened the curtain and walked out of the house to see that the two champions were struggling to find a wooden ladder from the small room next door where the sundries were piled up.
"You..." Qi Jingsi frowned, "What are you doing?"
"Banner..." Yan Fei cautiously raised his eyes to look at Qi Jingsi, pointed to the direction of the courtyard gate, and said timidly, "I can't reach it..."
Qi Jingsi sighed exaggeratedly, took the Spring Festival couplet written in Yan Fei's hand, and led the way out of the courtyard.
His ancestral home in Pei County was not the Qi's Mansion in Beijing City. The height of the lintel of the courtyard gate was a bit difficult for Yan Fei and Lin Yu, but it was not difficult for Qi Jingsi.
He stood at the gate of the courtyard and raised the banner in his hand above his head, comparing positions in vain, when he suddenly heard Yan Fei's voice behind him——
"To the left, a little further to the left."
It's just that this very common sentence already brought tears to his eyes.
At this time last year, he walked out of the gate of Qi's mansion, and the servants in the mansion were sticking up ladders/children to stick Spring Festival couplets; he was very homesick at that time, and wanted to hear Lin Yu say behind his back, "The left side is higher. , lower on the right."
Although it is not Lin Yu who is speaking now, when he turns his head, his eyes full of tears can see Yan Fei raising his hand high and still gesturing to the left; Lin Yu is standing aside with a smile, kindly Looking at Yan Fei and himself "playing nonsense" at the side.
"Little uncle—" He turned around after putting up the banner, his throat already choked up.
"What's the matter, this is it?" Lin Yu saw Qi Jingsi's strangeness, stepped forward and hugged his shoulders, and pampered his heart like when he was a child, "He also said that he was nineteen years old , more and more like a child now—"
As he said that, he smiled at Yan Fei beside him, "I'm not afraid that our little Zhuangyuan Lang will see your jokes."
The more indulgent Lin Yi's voice was, the more disappointing Qi Jingsi's tears became. He glanced in Yan Fei's direction with some reluctance, only to find that Yan Fei had already walked beside him.
He looked at Yan Fei with a smile and shook his head at himself, raised his hand and gently wiped away the tears that he was holding back from the corners of his eyes.
*****
Later Yan Fei insisted on helping in the kitchen, and when the reunion dinner was on the table, Qi Jingsi, who was in charge of the spoon, washed his face and sat down cleanly, but Yan Fei, who really didn't help much, was covered with flour.
Lin Yu watched the two people come out of the kitchen carrying the dishes, and couldn't hold back a laugh. He teased and said, "I can't tell who made this meal."
During the banquet, the two champions chatted and laughed happily. Lin Yu even opened a pot of wine happily on a rare occasion, and made a drinking order with Yan Fei. It only made the cook work hard all afternoon, and now he still has to hook his head to pick fishbone.
"Jing Si." Lin Yu drank half a pot of wine, and put away five points of his usual restraint. He stared at the half plate of fish in Qi Jingsi's hand, "You are cooking today, why did you still do this?" troublesome stuff."
"There are 'fish' every year." Qi Jingsi kept moving his hands, but he refused to admit defeat, "Today's New Year's Eve, who doesn't have fish on the table."
He said angrily and pushed half a plate of cleaned fish in front of Yan Fei, "You and I don't like to eat it, it's better than throwing it away and wasting it."
Yan Fei had already fully understood Qi Jingsi's cold-hearted and kind-hearted temperament, took half a plate of fish and put it to his mouth, grinning foolishly at Qi Jingsi, without the slightest hint of the cleverness of a champion.
He smiled and nodded at Qi Jingsi, with a sweet mouth, he praised without hesitation, "It's so delicious! You can't even let the cooks in Heyi Tower go down!"
There was laughter and laughter at the table. Although Qi Jingsi felt that he had never been treated badly in every New Year's Eve he spent with Lin Yu, he had never had such a lively New Year's Eve.
After the meal, Yan Fei and Qi Jingsi tidied up again. After everything was tidied up, the sound of firecrackers could be heard from the street.
Yan Fei sensitively noticed that the warm atmosphere in the room was getting colder amidst the noise of firecrackers.
Qi Jingsi and Yan Fei stepped out of the east kitchen, and saw that Lin Yu had already unpacked the gift that Yan Fei had brought and put it on the table.
"Jingsi." Lin Yu greeted Qi Jingsi to his side, "I see that there are firecrackers and fireworks in the things Xiaoyan brought, you two young people should go out and join in the fun."
Qi Jingsi stared at the things on the table, hesitated and called out: "Little uncle..."
"What's the matter?" Lin Yu looked at Qi Jingsi lovingly, "Didn't you always blame your uncle for not taking you there when you were young? Today, someone just happens to be with you."
Qi Jingsi looked at Lin Yu and frowned.
When he was a child, Lin Yu didn't like to take him out to the streets, especially on New Year's Eve, when he bought firecrackers, he would throw them away in the courtyard at most. He envied the children in groups outside the courtyard, and asked Lin Yu many times why he didn't bring himself go.
Lin Yu always held him in his arms silently and apologized to him. Only once did he hear Lin Yu whispering to himself: "I won't disturb others on this happy day."
Later, when he grew up, Lin Yu could rest assured that he would go out alone, but he never went to join in the fun.
There were still groups of children and teenagers on the street, but none of them were Qi Jingsi's friends.
"Little uncle." Qi Jingsi picked up the firecrackers and fireworks brought by Yan Fei on the table with one hand, took the initiative to wrap Yan Fei's shoulders with the other hand, and smiled at Lin Yu, "Let's go together."
"No." Lin Yu smiled softly, "It's cold at night, and you cough at night after breathing in the air-conditioning, you should nag again—"
"At a young age, he's more verbose than a doctor with a white beard."
Lin Yu expressed disgust, but he still walked into the room and found two cloaks, and handed them to Yan Fei, who was still empty-handed and bowed his head shyly.
"Things that are born after you are young, I will join in the fun when I am old."
"You two should wear more clothes. Don't catch a cold, and don't play wild. Uncle left a lamp for the gate of the courtyard, waiting for you to come back."
*****
Although Qi Jingsi couldn't go to the streets to join in the fun when he was young, Lin Yu would always sell some fireworks and firecrackers to play with him in the small courtyard. Now he led Yan Fei to the street, and there were only two firecrackers at hand, which made people hide in fright behind the tree.
"Heh—" He rarely laughed out loud, looking at Yan Fei behind the tree with only a corner of his clothes showing, "Are you really scared?"
Qi Jingsi refused to put on the cloak, Yan Fei had been holding her in her arms obediently, but when she heard that there was no movement on the other side of the tree, she came out slowly, and nodded embarrassingly.
Qi Jingsi lowered his head and blew out the fire folder in his hand, "When you were a child, the Heyi Tower was not as beautiful as it is now, but it's not so bad, is it? Your parents didn't buy these for you?"
Yan Fei still shook his head and muttered softly, "It's my father who refuses to let me."
Qi Jingsi walked to Yan Fei's side, leaned directly on the tree trunk beside him without paying attention, he didn't ask any more questions, just waited for Yan Fei to be willing, and then continued talking.
Yan Fei was still afraid that Qi Jingsi would catch a cold, so he tugged on the other party's sleeve considerately, and put the cloak in his hand behind Qi Jingsi, before continuing.
"My eyesight is not very good now. When the light is dark at night, I can't see clearly. But when I was a child, it was much worse than now. So when it gets dark, my father won't let me go out."
"What about your mother?" Qi Jingsi replied in a timely manner, not wanting Yan Fei to feel that he was talking to himself.
"My mother?" Yan Fei smiled softly, "She always listens to my father."
Seeing Qi Jingsi bowing her head silently, remembering that Qi Jingsi had a father who left him in his hometown for more than ten years, Yan Fei knew that Qi Jingsi might be thinking too much, so he quickly explained——
"It's not what you think, my father treats my mother very well, so good that—"
"It's so good that I think people who love each other in the world should be like them."
Yan Chengli is now a wealthy party, but the Heyi Tower back then was just a two-story restaurant, and Yan Chengli didn't even own the title deed.
Twenty years have passed, and now everyone knows that the No.1 prostitute in Beijing went to Fu Jia, but few people knew about it back then——
Yan Chengli, who guards the second-floor building, can't afford the money at all for the girl who is the number one leader in Beijing City; it was Yan Fei's mother who used her life savings to save enough money to redeem herself. , Married, honesty and good faith.
"It's easy to find a priceless treasure, but it's rare to have a lover." Yan Fei said softly, "My mother said she doesn't regret it."
The No. 1 prostitute in Beijing back then was exquisite and translucent, and she had read countless people. Facts have proved that she was not mistaken.
After marriage, Yan Fei was born. It was the crystallization of their love. Yan Chengli placed high hopes on him;
In order to take good care of her son who was born with eye disease, Yan's mother asked Yan Chengli to discuss that she might not have the energy to take care of another child, but Yan Chengli agreed after only a moment of silence.
So far, Yan Fei has become the only son of Yan Chengli, a rich man.
"My father did have high hopes for me. He hoped that I would be successful and shine in my family. He may not have asked me what I wanted, but—" Yan Fei took a deep breath and said, "Every decision he made to my mother Very respectful."
So it was also because of Qi Jingsi's enough respect that Yan Fei realized for the first time that this person might be different from others.
"What about your mother?" It was rare for Qi Jingsi to talk to Yan Fei in such a serious manner: "She thinks the same?"
"My mother didn't want me to be successful. Like most mothers in the world, she only wants me to be safe and healthy." Speaking of his mother, Yan Fei's smile is gentle and proud, "It's just because of me that she gave up. Being a mother again, I will always feel ashamed of my father—"
"Although she feels guilty that she failed to give birth to a healthy child for the Yan family, she never mentions a word to me."
"My father told me these things. I am close to my mother. He hopes to use it to spur me and hope that I will be successful."
"Then your mother—" Qi Jingsi enviously said, "I must have treated you very well."
"You think my mother must spoil me very much, and it hurts to hold me in her palm?" Yan Fei covered his lips and chuckled, "Not at all."
"On the contrary, my father is like this. He is always worried that something will happen to me, and won't let me go out at night; but my mother is very strict with me. In her heart, she has always regarded me as an ordinary child, no different from other healthy children. .”
As he spoke, he raised his head and looked seriously into Qi Jingsi's eyes, "Actually, sometimes you look like my mother."
They all treat him as an ordinary person, equality never underestimates, caring but no mercy.
When Yan Fei was only a few years old, because of eye disease, no school would accept him. At that time, Yan Chengli invited his husband to teach at home; after a few years, Yan's mother couldn't bear to see her son always sitting alone. Reading behind the counter, with no brothers or sisters, and no peers to accompany him, he discussed with Yan's father whether to send the child to the academy.
At that time, Yan Fei's eye disease had improved a lot, and Yan Chengli's business was getting bigger and bigger, going out could make Yin Zi say a few words, so Yan Fei was sent to the academy on the basis of his relationship.
"At that time, I blamed my mother." Yan Fei said softly.
Because Yan's mother opened a room for Yan Fei, who was a few years old, to sleep alone, but refused to give him a hug when he left, and because his mother always insisted that he go to and from school by himself, not even letting him bring a school boy.
His little one often fell down on the road, and his knee didn't have a good piece of flesh in those two years. Naughty children often threw stones at him and bullied him by the side of the road.
At that time, the scale of Heyi Tower was not small, Yanfu's maids, sedan chairs and carriages, what do you want? Yan Fei, who was a few years old, didn't understand why his mother was so cruel to him.
"I drink a lot of decoction every day, and my eyes are getting better day by day, but because I was angry with my mother, I have never admitted that I have improved a lot, so I am awkward in my heart, wanting to see when my mother will soften her heart Can feel sorry for me."
Yan Fei sighed, "Until my eyes were almost healed, it was almost unaffected during the day, but I couldn't see clearly the small things that were too far away, but my parents were kept in the dark at that time."
Until one day when Yan Fei was on his way to school, he saw a small puddle not far away, and he was ready to go around it, but saw a plain-clothed woman rushing out from the side of the road.
The woman picked up a few stones on the side of the road and put them in the puddle with her hands and feet. She seemed afraid that someone would step on the slippery stone and slip, so she tore off half of her skirt and spread it on the puddle.
"At that time, my eyesight was almost better, but just like now, I couldn't see the faces of people standing too far away; I didn't realize until I chased up..." Yan Fei's throat choked, "" That woman... actually..."
"It's my mother."
Qi Jingsi didn't have a mother, but she couldn't help but feel a little moved when she heard this, "She..."
"In fact, she follows me every day on the way to and from school, so she has already blocked me from danger." Yan Fei wiped his tears stubbornly with his sleeves, "She wants me to do everything by myself, but Because she doesn't know if my eyes will recover..."
"She is cruel and unwilling to spoil me because she is worried that if my eyes don't get better, she also hopes that I can live like an ordinary person, and I won't feel inferior because of my eye disease, and I won't be dragged down by my eye disease."
"But actually..." He finally broke down in tears, "She is more worried about me than anyone else..."
Qi Jingsi finally understands now why Yan Fei can always face the eyes and doubts in the academy with gentleness and politeness; also finally understands why Yan Fei is such a gentle person, but there is a faint stubbornness that does not match in his bones.
He is not Yan Fei, even with only a faint moonlight, he can still see the crystal tears on the other's face.
He didn't have the experience of comforting others, he just took two steps forward dully, grabbed the back of Yan Fei's head, and pressed the person on his shoulder.
"Crying at such a big age, it's so ugly." He comforted bluntly, "I'm not wearing new clothes anyway, so I'll let you wipe them clean."
Yan Fei leaned on Qi Jingsi's shoulder, understood Qi Jingsi's awkward gentleness, and couldn't help laughing through tears.
He really wiped away his tears with Qi Jingsi's clothes, "Aside from setting off firecrackers, is there anything else?"
"Is there..." He raised his head and smiled at Qi Jingsi shyly, "Slower?"
"Yes." Qi Jingsi was also amused by Yan Fei's tears and smile, "Pray for the sky lantern, let it go?"
Yan Fei shook his head.
"It's the Kongming Lantern. It is said that if you write your wish on it and put it in the sky, it will be seen by the Immortal Daluo nine days away." Qi Jingsi said and looked towards the sky. lamp to heaven."
"Then..." Yan Fei tugged at Qi Jingsi's sleeve again, "Shall we go too?"
*****
There is a large open area next to the Linxian Building in Peishui, where many young men and girls gather, holding a praying lantern that has not yet ascended to heaven, busy writing and drawing on it.
Qi Jingsi also took out a few copper coins and bought one from the old man who set up the stall.
His own two strokes are shady, and he only wrote one line in a secretive way; but Yan Fei, who couldn't see clearly, still wished he could stick his eyes on the paper covered with lamps, as if he had written an article densely. The cited article.
The praying sky lantern still lived up to expectations, and it rose steadily into the air in Qi Jingsi's hands.
Yan Fei clasped his hands together and prayed silently. He finally opened his eyes until the sky lantern flew so high that Qi Jingsi couldn't tell which one was his.
He turned his head and gave Qi Jingsi a gentle smile, facing the flickering flames in the sky——
"What did you wish for?"
"How can I tell you this?" After tossing and tossing for a long time that night, Qi Jingsi threw up the cloak and put it on his shoulders, then turned and walked towards home, "It won't work if I say it."
"How could it be? As long as the wish is made sincerely, the Daluo gods in the sky can see it, why can't the people close to me know?" Yan Fei turned around and followed Qi Jingsi's footsteps, and said resolutely: "Besides, making a wish is not easy. Is it always people's own psychological comfort? Whether it can be realized or not depends on one's own efforts, otherwise the gods will not be able to help."
Linxian Tower had already left the county seat of Pei County, and now it was away from the crowded open space beside the building just now, and there was not even a single light on the way back to the city.
Qi Jingsi could find his way by the moonlight, but Yan Fei couldn't, he was just nagging Qi Jingsi, he didn't pay attention to his feet, and Qi Jingsi had long legs, so he was already walking fast, so he almost fell when he trotted two steps.
Qi Jingsi caught him with a look of disgust, "How can you not shut your mouth while walking?"
"Then..." Yan Fei was hugged by Qi Jingsi, and bowed his head shyly, "I don't even need to walk with my mouth..."
Qi Jingsi sighed helplessly, knowing that he would probably not be as stubborn as Yan Fei in his life, so he could only shake his head and say, "Then tell me, what is your wish?"
"I—" With Qi Jingsi's reply, Yan Fei immediately forgot about the embarrassment just now, and followed happily, "I hope the world is peaceful and the people are well."
"I hope that the government will be clear and the sea will be clear and the river will be clear."
"I also hope that everything is well at home, and I also hope that my little uncle's health will recover, and—"
As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice and lowered his head in shame, "I hope my sweetheart is safe and well, and it's best to like me too..."
"You..." Qi Jingsi's steps stopped, her breathing was chaotic, "Is there... a sweetheart?"
"En." Yan Fei nodded affirmatively, but did not intend to continue the topic with Qi Jingsi, "Is there too much I want? Will Immortal Da Luo refuse to agree?"
Qi Jingsi regretted asking the question just now, now that Yan Fei didn't continue, he also breathed a sigh of relief, and said casually, "Didn't you say you had to work hard on your own?"
"Qi Jingsi." Yan Fei suddenly grabbed Qi Jingsi from behind, waited for Qi Jingsi to turn around, then looked into Qi Jingsi's eyes and said seriously: "I will definitely work very hard."
*****
The two walked back to the familiar small courtyard under the moonlight, Qi Jingsi saw the lantern hanging at the gate of the courtyard from afar, and felt warm in his heart.
When he entered the door, he quietly extinguished the candle, and pulled Yan Fei, but no one made a sound.
"Are you back?" Hearing the sound of the door opening, Yan Fei put down the pen in his hand and walked out of the room, "There was no movement at all."
"Little Uncle." Qi Jingsi called obediently, "I thought you had a rest."
Lin Yu smiled softly, "I agreed to wait for you."
"It's not too early—" Yan Fei politely saluted at the door, "Little uncle, then Yan Fei is going back first."
"Go back?" Lin Yu frowned and said, "It's the middle of the night and you are alone, where are you going back?"

Copy:
Because being dependent on others since childhood, transferring schools has always been the main theme of Ding Jinyu's life; until the second year of high school, he finally returned to his childhood hometown as he wished.
In order to live a stable life for a while, he decided to restrain his temper this time and be a transparent person in school, but he never expected...
On the first day of school, he almost beat someone at the door of the principal's office.
It doesn't matter if you break the merits, the key is that some people misunderstood that the purpose of the attack was to help him, what a coincidence——
This "he" also became his deskmate.
His new tablemate is Ming Xi, with a warm smile and dimples, but he talks too much——
It looks like flowers in a greenhouse.
Ding Jinyu keeps a respectful distance from his new tablemate who is destined to be different from him, but he doesn't want to...
The new tablemate is chasing after him!
An accident caused Ding Jinyu to be displaced again, so he was pushed into his house by the chatterbox who had been sticking to him.
