green tree from forest

"

I nodded, "It seems that we have to get in touch with him some other day, and strive to get rich first and get rich later."

Wen Bai choked for a moment, what he wanted to say was interrupted by the ringtone of the phone, it was Father Wen calling.

"Huh? Out for supper with Congcong... Finished eating, on the way back... Okay, I bought it downstairs and brought it with me."

After he hung up the phone, I asked, "Uncle asked you to bring vinegar home again?"

Wen Bai laughed and said, "That's right, King Licheng is jealous and hasn't run away."

"It's good for uncle to go back to China to work, so I can't leave you here all the time." I said.

"Actually, it's okay, I'm used to it, and there are still you guys."

"Indeed," I said, "our day was..."

While talking, the people around me didn't follow, I turned my head and found that Wen Bai stopped for some reason.

I walked back and asked, "What's the matter?" I was obviously still smiling just now.

Wen Bai lowered his eyes and kept making small movements with his hands. He touched the strap of his schoolbag, and then reached out to touch mine.

"What's the matter?"

I took his hand away from the strap of the schoolbag, and he retracted it and continued to touch his own, suddenly looking pitiful.

"Don't you want to know why my mother didn't come back?"

I unconsciously tightened my hand holding the shoulder strap of my schoolbag. I didn't expect that this was what he was going to mention, so I was forced to recall every detail of that night.

"If you want to tell me, you've already told me. If you don't tell me, you definitely don't want me to ask, right?" I patted the back of his hand, "Let's go home? Mosquitoes are everywhere at night." It seems that he was bitten on his calf A few bags, slightly itchy.

I'm already shorter than him, if it's daytime, I can see his red eye sockets if I lower my head a little.

Wen Bai started to move slowly, like a lost child. I couldn't stand it anymore, took his hand and led him forward, and said as he walked, "I haven't drunk, why did you suddenly change your face? It's the adults' business." Let the adults solve it by themselves, don't worry about it."

After thinking about it, I still took the initiative to confess, not wanting him to continue to struggle with this matter: "Actually, I know everything."

Wen Bai suddenly raised his head when he heard the words, and raised his voice: "You know everything?"

"Yeah, the night you drank too much, you said everything."

The hand that Wen Bai was holding was getting stronger and stronger, as if what he was holding was not my hand, but a piece of wood, "Hey, my hand hurts!"

He let go, and I continued to pull him forward, "Oh, I'm home."

Wen Bai followed me obediently, with a tentative tone: "What if I inherit my mother's genes, what if I...will be like that in the future, do you think I'm weird?"

I sneered in my heart, "What's so strange about this, who stipulated that same-sex people can't fall in love?"

I wish you would turn gay right away, before I have to rack my brains to restrain myself.

The author says:

Q: How can I abuse it?

Answer: The author is incompetent, probably unable to abuse

After the end, I will write a chapter from Wen Bo's perspective, mainly to show a few emotional inflection points.I’m really useless, because it’s Lin Cong’s No.1 claim, no matter how I modify it, I can’t write Wen Bai’s emotional changes smoothly TT

The next book will directly let the two protagonists fight and kill until the end, what kind of bullshit love will they talk about (just kidding

◎Hand in hand◎

The gap that I thought was deep was filled in this way.

Ever since, the good days of the two brothers began again.

I heard that Papa Wen has been seeking his advice on going abroad, so one night in my junior year, I looked at Wen Bai who was sitting across from me having a good meal, and expressed my inner doubts: "I heard that Uncle has always wanted you to go abroad, have you decided yet?"

Wen Bai ordered a fish with pickled cabbage tonight. The pickled cabbage is sour and fresh. The fish is tender and delicious without bones.

Wen Bai swallowed the fish in his mouth, raised his head and said, "No, this is only a junior year, and it's still too early to go abroad." His major is a five-year program, which means he will have to stay in this city for an extra day. Year.

I nodded in agreement, but I still asked, "Then do you want to go out or don't you want to go out?"

Wen Bai said to the sauerkraut, "Think about it in general."

I ordered sliced ​​noodles with tomato and egg today, but the noodles piled up so quickly that I lost my appetite.I put down my chopsticks and said to him, "Let's go?"

Wen Bai was fighting wits with the fish that frequently slipped from the chopsticks, "You want me to go?"

"The conditions for studying abroad are good, so of course I want to go."

He finally gave up the chopsticks and picked up the spoon, "Is Lin Cong a spy sent by my father?"

When I heard the words, I also picked up the spoon, hurried him to scoop up the last piece of fish, and said fiercely: "You are gone!"

There are four people in a dormitory, Bai Dong and I decided to take the postgraduate entrance examination, Haohao and Yu Wan decided to get a job.Haohao wants to participate in the country's western plan and go back to build his hometown, while Yu Wan plans to enter other industries and start from scratch.

I have to say that the postgraduate entrance examination is more challenging than the college entrance examination.With the support of Haohao and Yu Wan, Bai Dong and I got up at six o'clock in the morning and went to bed at twelve o'clock in the evening every day, from the beginning of school until December.

I forgot to mention that this summer I stayed in school for the resources and environment of the library.The same is true for Bai Dong, because of this, he and his girlfriend separated briefly.

For half a year, I opened my eyes on time at six o'clock every morning, and I began to think about what stage my beloved □□ wrote and what articles. Before going to bed at night, I must review the professional knowledge I learned today in my mind.

Bai Dong was even more frightening. He just lay on the bed and thought about it. He thought about it and made a question to embarrass me.His level is above mine, so he can naturally ask me down, which directly leads to me studying harder the next day.

During the two months he stayed in school, Wen Bai went back to school twice, the reasons were so strange that he forgot to take away his favorite shoes from the dormitory, and the tablet he brought home was wrong, it was not the one he usually used for drawing. One, and so on, it's ridiculously endless.

I was busy studying at that time, so I didn't think about the doubts. Looking back now, I always feel that he must have something to hide from me when he came to school.

After the term started, Wen Bo and his colleagues organized internships in a unified way, and they were busy fighting with the internship report for the whole semester. Our most frequent contact was to make a phone call during the journey from the library back to the dormitory, and talk to each other for a day What have you done.

On the day after the exam, I didn't even have the strength to go back to the library to collect the materials, so I went straight back to the dormitory and fell asleep.

When I opened my eyes, the dormitory was pitch black, only Haohao's position was shining. I saw that Haohao was typing information with his index finger below.

There was a bird's nest on my head, and I asked him in a daze, "how did you use elementary school typing today?"

Haohao raised his head: "I woke up, I'm afraid I'm going to disturb you."

I lay back on the bed with big characters, and said weakly, "Haohao is really my good brother."

"Oh, by the way," Haohao resumed his crackling typing, "I met Wen Bai downstairs when I just came back, and he said he couldn't contact you."

I immediately opened my eyes wide and picked up my phone, only to realize that it was already nine o'clock.

Haohao was still saying: "I said that you are either on the way, or you have already come back to sleep. He said that if you are sleeping in the dormitory, there is no need to call you. He will contact you later."

In the week before the exam, apart from chatting with roommates when I went back to the dormitory, sometimes I even forgot to reply to Ms. Xu's news, let alone caring about Wen Bai who has been busy outside.

Wen Bai said on WeChat that he would take me out to eat out after I finished the exam, but seeing that I didn't reply, he sent another message asking me to fix it.

I turned over and got out of bed, quickly washed my face and called Wen Bai back.

Wen Bai seemed to be close to the phone, and after a few beeps, he got connected.

I hurriedly said: "I went back to the dormitory directly after the exam, and I didn't wake up until now."

Wen Bo smiled and said, "I guessed it, are you coming out for dinner?"

In the cafeteria, strange faces are walking in front of the supper window.

Walking into the room, the chill on my body was finally dispelled by the warm atmosphere in the cafeteria.

Wen Bo looked at my nose and said helplessly, "It's been so long, and you still have a red nose when you go out."

I folded the mask and put it in my pocket, sniffed and said, "After so long, the winter in Yanchuan still hasn't caught up with the warming of the climate."

I rubbed my stomach, looked reluctantly at the busy fried chicken window, was pushed by Wen Bai to Chongqing Xiao, and ordered a bowl of big rib noodle soup.

When I was ordering, he was in line behind me. Unexpectedly, after I finished ordering, he went to the next window and ordered a curry beef rice.

I stared dumbfounded at this man who walked up to me and sat down, strongly dissatisfied: "I eat small noodles and you eat delicious curry!"

"This is very spicy! You can't!"

The calls from the Xiaomian window and the curry window sounded at the same time, we both stood up, and I said viciously, "I'll let you see if I can do it in a while!" How can a man be told no, I must show him!

The large pork rib soup noodle only has a few more ribs than the clear soup bone soup noodle, but Wen Bai's curry rice is different, with a complete color, flavor and taste, which makes my noodles look bland in comparison.

"Haven't eaten at this restaurant, it just opened a while ago."

I stretched out a spoon and shoveled a big mouthful from his plate, and said in disbelief, "I want to see how spicy it is!"

Rice mixed with brightly colored curry, topped with chunks of beef and potatoes, is appetizing no matter how you look at it.

Wen Bai looked at my posture and said, "Take a small bite, you can take it easy when it's too spicy."

I just didn't believe it, I took a big mouthful with my mouth wide, and I didn't feel it when my tongue was first dipped in curry. Then two seconds, three seconds, the spicy taste exploded in my mouth with chewing.By the time I've eaten a whole mouthful, I suspect my lip is swollen into a sausage too.

I unzipped my padded jacket and fanned my face with my hands to cool down, while Wen Bai went to the small shop at the entrance of the cafeteria to buy a bottle of milk.

"What did I just say, it's too spicy." He poked the straw into the milk carton and handed it to me.

Gulu took two sips of milk, and my tongue finally felt much more comfortable, "Why are you so good at eating spicy food!"

Wen Bai ate the curry that I thought was extra spicy without changing his expression, and said, "It's because you can't taste spicy, so you think it's extra spicy."

I honestly ate my own bone soup noodles and never looked at the curry on the opposite side again.

"How about going out to play during the winter vacation? It just so happens that you have finished the exam."

I took a bite of the noodles and asked, "Where are we going?"

"How about going to Ruicheng to climb the snow mountain?" Wen Bai's tone was full of expectation.

"I think it's okay, but my body doesn't necessarily think it's okay." I still know how much my physical fitness is.

"Let me think again," said Quince.

I thought he meant to change the destination, but I didn't expect to find a way to toss me.

Since the first day of the winter vacation, I haven't slept in late, the reason is very simple, Wen Bai got the help of his aunt Xu, and took me downstairs to run laps every morning.And his reason for pulling me to run laps is also very simple: he wants to take me to climb snow-capped mountains together.

I asked him why he insisted on climbing snow-capped mountains in winter, and he said, "During the summer vacation, you were preparing for the exam, and the summer vacation for graduate students must be very busy, so I had no choice but to go this winter vacation."

What he said was indeed reasonable, and I couldn't refute it, so I could only drink two sips of water and try to keep up with his pace.

Wen Bai's sweaty T-shirt was stuck to his body, revealing the distinct lines of his waist and abdomen.I sat on the bench and couldn't help but lift the hem of my clothes to have a look.

"Don't look, there's nothing there." Wen Bai sat down beside me.

I quickly covered my stomach, "Humph!"

Wen Bai patted me on the shoulder and said: "It must be covered, so as not to catch a cold."

I figured it out, and Quince had always had a knack for bringing out my potential.After he said this, I ran harder the next day.

After a week of running driven by Wen Bo, my small body finally gained some muscle.

In order to avoid the peak season of the scenic spot, I decided to give it a go and went to Ruicheng with Wen Bai in advance.

In addition to some things we brought with us, Wen Bai and I also bought trekking poles and portable oxygen cylinders at the foot of the mountain for emergencies.

Looking at the majestic snow-capped mountains in front of me, I couldn't say anything except "wow".

Taking the shuttle bus to the entrance of the cableway, my eyes could not leave the scenery outside the window all the way.

Wen Bo asked from behind me, "You don't feel sick, do you?"

I didn't look back, "No, it's very good."

But when I took the cable car up, my altitude sickness gradually broke out, and my head throbbed uncontrollably. Coupled with the cold environment, it gradually became more and more severe.I wanted to take some oxygen and move on, but because the situation didn’t improve, I was finally dragged by Wen Bo to board the cable car going down.

With my back against the glass of the cable car, I asked vainly, "Are we going back like this?"

Wen Bo flicked my forehead lightly with his finger, "What else? This is the consequence of not exercising for the first 20 years."

After getting off the cable car, we took the return shuttle bus. It took almost 10 minutes. I squinted a little on the bus to relieve some of the discomfort.

Before we came, we checked the weather. These few days are rare sunny days in Ruicheng in winter.There is a lively atmosphere down the mountain, tourists and local residents blend together, and the crowd is much larger than when we came.

I wondered, "Why are there so many people suddenly today?"

My words were heard by a local uncle next to him. He turned his head and smiled at us and said, "You don't know, do you? Ke Temple, burn incense and pray for blessings." The mandarin of the uncle is not up to standard, but I can feel that he is already trying to explain things clearly.

Because of the high altitude, the uncle's skin was tanned and red, but he was strong and dressed in the local special costumes of Ruicheng.

Wen Bai and I looked back at the Meek Temple in the distance. Going up Bank Avenue, the majestic Meek Temple seemed to be suspended in the air. Kneeling at a step is like going up to the sky.

Before I recovered, a group of people passed beside me.Wen Bo hugged me who bumped into him, and frowned at the group of people.

I looked away from the distance, and turned around to find that the uncle set up a stall at my feet, selling some special trinkets.

I squatted down to look at it, and the uncle said, "My wife made this by herself, and she went to Mike Temple to offer incense. It happened to be the Hasan Festival today, and she asked me to use it to earn some money."

I saw a red little tiger pendant at a glance.The king character on the little tiger's head is not particularly correct, but it brings out a cute meaning.

I pulled Wen Bo's hand hanging by his side, and looked up at him: "Can I buy this for you?"

Wen Bai also squatted down, and stretched out his hands to pick out the golden cloth, "Can you still ask for the opinions of the parties when giving gifts?"

That's right, why should I ask for his opinion.

I wanted to stand up to pay, but I didn't expect my eyes to turn dark before I stood up straight. Fortunately, I caught Wen Bai's back in time.

Wen Bai felt the pressure I put on his back, his body froze, and he asked, "What's wrong?"

Seeing this, the uncle also reached out to help me, "Is the young man altitude sickness or hypoglycemia?"

I withdrew my hand from Quince and let him stand up.

"Altitude sickness, and hypoglycemia." Wen Bai replied for me, "I want this." He took a thick red thread as the main knot, and wrapped it with thin yellow thread to make a pattern that I couldn't understand. .

"I want this." I took the little tiger.

"Are you paying together?"

I rushed to answer: "Pay separately." Since it was a gift for Wen Bai, it didn't make sense for him to pay for it himself.

I took the little tiger pendant and said to him: "Turn around, I'll hang it up for you."

Wen Bo turned around, and I began to work on the zipper of his schoolbag, and said while hanging it, "It's safe and sound, it's all right."

After hanging up, Wen Bo said, "It's my turn."

My eyes lit up and I asked, "Is it for me?"

Wen Bai looked at me with an inexplicable look: "Otherwise?"

"Good-looking is good-looking, but I don't know what the pattern means." I said.

"You don't even know about this?" Wen Bai hung up the pendant and straightened up, "Just looking at it makes me lazy and didn't do my homework well."

I accidentally exposed my laziness, and I didn't dare to quibble, so I had to giggle at him twice.

"Do you want to go to Mi Ke Temple?" I asked.

"I'm not going, let's have a meal and go back to the hotel to see the scenery."

"Ah...that's so cute...hey!" The book is packed with too many things, protruding straight out, and it is easy to be hit by pedestrians passing by.

The fact that I was frequently bumped into my schoolbag by pedestrians and caused my body to turn around seemed to strengthen Wen Bai's determination to go back to the hotel. He took my hand and said, "Let's go, I happened to pass by a famous restaurant on the way here." hotel."

Probably due to psychological effects, I seem to be able to feel the warmth of Wen Bai's palm through the thickness of two pairs of gloves.

Under the sun, the red roof of the building is dazzlingly bright, not to mention that part of the area is covered with ice and snow that is hard to melt, and the world is clear and clean.In the bright daylight of this strange city, Wen Bai and I walked on the road holding hands openly, but no one cast a strange look.

I secretly sighed, if only time was frozen at this moment.

◎New Year's Eve 1◎

On New Year's Eve this year, my family prepared a table of good dishes lively.Because my grandparents passed away early, and Xu Dongnan and his mother were not close, my uncle simply brought Xu Dongnan to my house for the New Year.

Even though I had said in advance that Ms. Xu and I would be in charge of the New Year's Eve dinner, my uncle insisted on bringing big and small bags.

The two came in the afternoon. Xu Dongnan walked ahead and rang the bell first and went upstairs. I didn't see my uncle behind him and asked, "Where's your father?"

Xu Dongnan took off his shoes and put on his socks and rushed into the kitchen, "It's parking downstairs! Auntie! I brought you crabs! They're alive!" The young man was full of energy.

After a few minutes, my uncle also came up with a few bags.I stood at the elevator door and waited. As soon as the elevator door opened, I took the things in his hand: "Uncle, why do you still have something here? Didn't you agree that we will be responsible for it!"

My uncle patted my head, "Just some tea tree mushrooms and russula, which are not worth much, let your mother cook some soup for you, and see how thin you are." He touched it again. my arm.

Fortunately, the results of a week's morning jogging had not completely faded. I said to my uncle: "I am not thin, but strong. If you touch my arms, they are all muscles."

My uncle entered the house with an expression of "Come on, you", and immediately saw Xu Dongnan sitting on the sofa and eating fruit leisurely, "Xu Dongnan, go to the kitchen and help your aunt!"

Before Xu Dongnan could act coquettishly, Ms. Xu heard it from the kitchen. She poked her head out and said, "Xu Xiang, come and help! Why are you ordering the child!"

Hearing this, Xu Dongnan completely nestled into the sofa, and said with a smile, "Auntie is so kind!"

My mother wanted to throw the lo mei into the pot and stir fry, so she closed the kitchen door,

The kitchen was in full swing, and Xu Dongnan and I in the living room did not lose, so we plugged in the game console and started playing.Probably because Xu Dongnan was busy with his studies, his game level dropped sharply, and he was directly sieved by me.

Before the game, it was agreed who would lose more and was doing the dishes tonight, but Xu Dongnan stopped playing after a round.

"Can you be a little more mature, dare to say it but not to be it!"

Xu Dongnan probably also realized that he was a little ashamed like this, so he straightened up, "That's okay, two wins in three rounds, the round just now doesn't count, I'm looking for a hand!"

I graciously agreed: "Okay, you can't play tricks anymore!"

At the end of the round, Xu Dongnan lost again.

I got up from the sofa triumphantly, "It seems that some people still don't have a clear understanding of themselves. I'm going to the toilet, you take a while."

Behind him, Xu Dongnan howled mournfully.

Coming out of the bathroom, I habitually glanced at the bay window across the window. The curtains were drawn tightly, and there was no trace of people. This is basically the case these days.

When we returned to the living room, Ms. Xu had already opened the door of the kitchen, and the aroma immediately overflowed, making me and Xu Dongnan stand at the door of the kitchen to have a look.

The moment I saw that my uncle was in charge of the spoon, I understood why the fragrance is so strong today.

My mother held a plate of fried green peppers, and waved us out, "Don't block the door!"

Xu Dongnan and I followed Ms. Xu like puppies. If there was a tail, it should have turned into a propeller by now.

It is obviously only a vegetarian dish, but it has the power of a meat dish.The clean bowls and chopsticks were neatly placed on the table. Xu Dongnan picked up a pair of chopsticks and stretched them into the plate. At a critical moment, Ms. Xu stopped him: "Xu Dongnan!"

"Hey!" Xu Dongnan agreed, quickly retracted his chopsticks, and pretended nothing happened.

Back on the sofa, Xu Dongnan and I were about to continue the young man's fight when the doorbell rang.

The two people in the kitchen poked their heads out, and the two people on the sofa put down the handles.

Chinese New Year is just around the corner, and every household is busy hanging red lanterns and decorating new colors. Who will visit at this time?

"Congcong, go open the door, why are you standing there?" Ms. Xu called me.

A familiar face appeared in the cat's eyes, I opened the door, and called out politely: "Uncle Wen." Uncle Wen followed behind Wen Bai, both of them were wearing black coats, and they were tall and straight.

Uncle Wen stood at the door with no intention of coming in, "Cong Cong, Uncle has to work overtime temporarily, and I want Xiaobai to have a New Year's Eve dinner with you, isn't it convenient?"

Ms. Xu hurried to the door when she heard the voice, "So it's Xiaobai's father."

Wen Bai called "Aunt Xu".

"Mother Lin Cong," Uncle Wen smiled, with a helpless expression on his face: "I planned to take him out for dinner, but I was called to work overtime temporarily. There is really no other way, so I have to trouble you again."

"But what's the trouble with adding a pair of bowls and chopsticks?"

At this moment my uncle also came out: "Sister, let people come in, why are you standing at the door?"

"Oh yes," my mother patted her head, "Come in and talk."

Uncle Wen pushed Wen Bai in, "I'm in a hurry to get back to the game, so I won't go in." He patted Wen Bai on the shoulder, "Please help me."

Close the door, and the room gets hot again.

Probably because of the existence of Xu Dongnan and my uncle, Wen Bai obviously couldn't let go today, and walked into my house slowly.My mother took the baton and pushed Wen Bai into the living room, "Don't be shy, we are all from our own family. This is Cong Cong's uncle, and that is Cong Cong's younger brother."

My uncle smiled at Wen Bai and said, "Hello, do you want to eat strawberries? I just picked them yesterday, they are very fresh." My uncle turned his head and called Xu Dongnan: "Xu Dongnan, go wash the strawberries."

Wen Bo replied: "Thank you, Uncle, I'll do the laundry." He said, taking off the coat on his body. Inside was an oatmeal-colored round-neck sweater, which looked gentle and amiable.

Xu Dongnan turned over and got off the sofa, opened the cardboard box that had been placed next to the sofa, and poured out a large bowl of strawberries, while Wang Po sold melons: "My dad and I picked these by ourselves yesterday, it's so sweet, it's super big It is said to be that kind of species, hehe, I forgot the specific name."

As soon as I heard the strawberries, I became excited. I squatted next to Xu Dongnan and saw that the bright and lovely big strawberries were really different from the little ones in the supermarket.

Ms. Xu took out another pot from the kitchen, looked at the three of us and said, "Change another pot, don't crush it."

Wen Bai and Xu Dongnan went into the bathroom with the basin in their arms. I turned around and saw Ms. Xu sitting on the sofa and switching our game interface, and asked, "Mom, are you resting?"

"Your uncle said he can do it alone."

I said "oh", it turned out that I was kicked out.

I followed Wen Bai and Xu Dongnan and stood behind them to watch them wash strawberries.

Young people have their own way of interacting with young people, plus they met once, and within a few words, Wen Bai and Xu Dongnan have already chatted.

"School will start soon after the new year, right?"

"Yeah, I don't have time to rest at all. And I lost to my brother in the game just now, it's unbelievable!"

I stood behind Xu Dongnan and strangled his neck, "What are you talking about? I am a powerful person!"

Wen Bai sorted the strawberries quickly and carefully. With the same amount of fruit, he finished washing them one step faster than Xu Dongnan, picked up one and handed it to my mouth.

I opened my mouth to say I would do it myself, and a strawberry the size of half a goose egg was stuffed between my lips and tongue involuntarily.

Wen Bo looked at me intently and asked, "Is it sweet?" He naturally forgot that there was another Xu Dongnan next to me, who was so intimate with me.

I unconsciously let go of Xu Dongnan's hand, and turned my attention to my mouth.The pulp of the strawberry was cut open by my teeth, and the juice was freed between the lips and teeth. There was only one feeling in my head, and that was sweetness.

I was busy chewing, so I could only give a thumbs-up to these strawberries. I even felt that this pot of strawberries would be enough for tonight's New Year's Eve dinner.

"It's delicious," Xu Dongnan picked up one and put it in his mouth, "Yeah~"

Wen Bo smiled at us and asked, "Do you want to play games together?"

In the living room, Ms. Xu couldn't bear to cook, so she went into the kitchen again, leaving the three of us.

After Wen Bai joined the battle, my advantage collapsed in an instant, and the gap in the standings was greatly widened.Xu Dongnan was even more convinced by the beating, and squeezed to Wen Bai's side with staring eyes.

It seems that whoever washes the dishes tonight, the result is self-evident.

"Brother Wenbo, you were so handsome when you passed that corner just now!"

Wen Bai is often praised by others, but today he felt a little shy for some reason: "It's okay, it's okay."

"I heard from my brother,"

"I didn't say that!" I thought Xu Dongnan was going to pull out the old story of me praising Wen Bai, so I interrupted him.

Then both of them looked at me.

I leaned forward pretending to be calm, picked up the pot of strawberries on the table and ate them.

"Did you hear what your brother said?" Wen Bo asked.

"I heard from my brother that you are a gardener and you are good at drawing. I'm so envious! I can only draw stick figures!"

The game on the TV was still playing background music, and I looked ahead, actually listening to their conversation attentively.

"If you start learning from a young age, you can draw very well after a certain period of time." Wen Bai said.

"You are good at drawing and playing games well. You are tall and handsome. Many girls must like you, right? Do you have a girlfriend?" Xu Dongnan said more and more vigorously.

I couldn't pretend anymore, and turned my head to pay attention to their conversation.

Wen Bai's back straightened up suddenly, which made me also straighten up inexplicably.

"It's okay, I don't have a girlfriend."

I was behind him and couldn't see his expression.

"Oh, then what kind do you like?" Xu Dongnan was as active as a little matchmaker.

"I like people with darker skin. They'd better be taller than 1.7 meters, the same age as me," Wen Bai thought for a while, and continued to add: "It has to be from Belvedere. Be obedient and filial. It doesn't matter if you're a little shy."

The first time I heard Wen Bo's description of the ideal type, I found it a bit inconceivable.

"It's hard to find a girl with such a tall height, but if my brother changes gender, he can probably be satisfied, right?" Xu Dongnan said my heartfelt feelings.

"Really?" Wen Bai stretched out his crossed legs to the ground, and turned to face me, "Don't tell me, it really does look alike." Then he took out a strawberry from my plastic fruit bowl, " What does Cong Cong think?" After he finished speaking, he bit off half of a strawberry.

Familiar people spoke unfamiliar words, what Wen Bai bit off was only half a strawberry and half of my heart.

Happy working day!

◎New Year's Eve 2◎

Xu Dongnan is still immersed in his own world, and he doesn't feel that the atmosphere between me and Wen Bai is a little weird.Of course, the word "queer" describes it from the perspective of a straight man.

I hugged the fruit bowl in my arms tightly and didn't answer.

Ms. Xu and my uncle came out of the kitchen with one dish after another, including meat, vegetarian, sea, land, everything.

Seeing that I was still eating strawberries, my mother pointed at me and shouted: "Put down the strawberries, come and eat!"

The windows in the living room were cracked, and the sound of children playing with firecrackers came in, causing Xu Dongnan to probe frequently.

"What are you doing, have you never seen a child playing with firecrackers?" I asked him.

"It started so early?"

Wen Bai also got involved: "It's small firecracker toys like throwing cannons, and there are fairy sticks or something."

"If you can't buy it in the supermarket, give up." I said.

Xu Dongnan reluctantly looked out of the window a few more times, and then reluctantly withdrew his curiosity.

In addition to delicious dishes on the dinner table, there are also good wines from Ms. Xu's collection.When distributing disposable paper cups, Ms. Xu smiled like a kitten and asked us, "Do you want some?"

Wen Bo and I shook our heads tacitly, only Xu Dongnan nodded his head foolishly.

As a young adult, he had a natural curiosity about alcoholic beverages.So after Ms. Xu poured the wine into the paper cup carelessly, Xu Dongnan quickly and cautiously took a sip.

I figured he was trying to sample the big guys on TV, but judging from his expression, it didn't turn out too well.

Ms. Xu stood on the side without moving, but the expectation on her face faded little by little. She finally took a sip from her goblet, probably giving up on finding someone who could resonate with her in this family.

The low-key wine red leaves traces on the glass wall for a short time, and then disappears. The alcohol has the unique flavor of grape fermentation, which stimulates people's taste buds.Those who love it are crazy about it, and those who don't love it feel superfluous at a glance.I, Wen Bai and my uncle Xu Xiang are all the latter.

One of my favorite dishes tonight is the crab that my uncle brought from Yanchuan.Crabs were lifeless gray-green, but they waved their pincers vigorously trying to climb out of the bucket. Although they were steamed, they were vibrant orange-red, but they had already become a meal on my plate.

For crabs, the most wonderful thing is the crab paste in the big shell, but Wen Bai thinks it is fishy, ​​so he never eats it.There happened to be five crabs tonight, and Wen Bai and I "discussed": "You don't like to eat shells, let me help you out." As we spoke, we stretched out our hands naturally.

Wen Bo nodded and even pushed his bowl towards me.

Xu Dongnan on the other side noticed the movement, turned his head and asked, "Brother Wen Bai, what do you not like, I can help you with it."

My uncle glanced at his son casually, picked up the crab shells in the bowl, and said nothing.

Xu Dongnan was moved and expressed his heart to his father. Ms. Xu's expression twisted when she saw it, "Stop watching Korean dramas."

I have no time to open my mouth to speak, because the crab in the bowl is really sweet. After removing the fishy smell with cooking wine and ginger slices, the flavor of crab paste and crab meat is further stimulated.

Wen Bai tilted his head and whispered in my ear: "Uncle gave the shell to his son, and I gave the shell to you. What is the relationship between me and you?"

I glared at him quickly, took the crab leg from my mouth, "Don't try to take advantage of me!"

Then Quince smiled even wider.

Unlike me, who is swift and swift, Wen Bo eats crabs slowly and slowly. I took a look at his movements and always felt that he was taking apart some kind of artwork.

Wen Bo noticed my eyes, glanced at me and asked, "What's wrong?"

I sucked the crab legs in my mouth and shook my head.

He glanced at his own bowl, then at mine, and asked, "Have you hammered the pliers away?"

I nodded frantically and pushed my own bowl over, motioning for him to remove the tongs inside.

Quince took away my large tongs, asked the others for their opinions, and finally changed the plates and took all ten tongs into the kitchen.

Immediately, there was a bang bang sound in the kitchen, it was Wen Bai using the back of a knife to open the crab claws.

My uncle glanced at his watch and asked Xu Dongnan to turn on the TV.Dinner was served early, and the Spring Festival Gala of the traditional project had not yet started.

Wen Bai returned to his seat with a plate of crab legs, "Uncle, Aunt Xu, yours, cousin's."

"My, mine!" I couldn't bear it anymore.

Wen Bo swept three of the remaining four legs into my bowl with chopsticks.

I sharply raised my eyes to look at Ms. Xu, and sure enough, I met her gaze.Ms. Xu's expression was hidden behind the wine glass, so I couldn't find her
