phone lover
Chapter 10
It was still early when the car arrived at the restaurant.When the handsome guy at the bar saw Shu Yan, he raised his chin and greeted him with a smile, "I haven't seen you for a long time, handsome guy."
Shu Yan said with a smile: "Don't make fun of me, there is no one more handsome than you in a radius of ten miles?"
The handsome guy grinned and pointed at Shu Yan's back. Shu Yan turned around and realized that An Yuan was right behind him.
An Yuan's face was terribly dark, he walked in and knocked on the bar table and said, "This handsome guy, go and get two cups of coffee, hurry up, or the boss will get angry."
The handsome guy smiled and asked Shu Yan what kind of coffee he wanted to drink. There are several new types of coffee beans in the store, all of which are hand-roasted.Shu Yan said that he didn't understand that it's all up to the other party to decide, the handsome guy smiled and agreed, and then went to get coffee.
An Yuan took Shu Yan to the smoking area and found a seat to sit down.When An Yuan looked up and saw the wall painting, he realized that this table was the one he had sat with Song Zhifei before.He felt a little awkward and wanted to change the place, but before he opened his mouth to tell Shu Yan, he saw Shu Yan looking at the painting again.
Seeing Shu Yan's concentration, An Yuan felt embarrassed to speak, and the long-lost shyness crept into his heart.
He hasn't painted for a long time, and this wall painting is his latest work.Although he felt that this kind of wall painting might be difficult to sell, only he knew the energy and emotion he put into this painting.
It's like cutting out the heart for others to see.
But few people pay attention to it.Even Song Zhifei, who was so thoughtful, only said something nice.
Shu Yan is looking at this painting so intently now, just like when An Yuan saw him for the first time, but there was a smile on the corner of Shu Yan's mouth at that time, but now Shu Yan is frowning.
"It seems something is different..." Shu Yan muttered, then looked at An Yuan with a frown and said, "Has this painting been changed? Why do I feel that it is different from what I remembered..."
An Yuan was a little surprised, he remembered that Shu Yan came to him only once, and he still remembered the content of the painting.
"Is it... Is there no such thing before, um, is it a windmill?" Shu Yan pointed to the left side of the wall painting, "There was no such thing before, right? Is it a windmill... It's too small, I'm not sure."
"It's a windmill." An Yuan touched his pocket, he felt that he needed a cigarette at this time.
When he took out the cigarette case and took out a cigarette inside, his fingers trembled a little.
"Can I smoke?"
"Of course." Shu Yan said with a smile, "This is your restaurant, and I'm fine, I don't mind."
An Yuan lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, then squinted his eyes and looked at Shu Yan through the smoke: he was looking at the painting again.
Shu Yan's profile is very beautiful, the lines are clean and neat, neither deep nor round.
Concise, just like himself.
An Yuan really wanted to tell Shu Yan not to watch it, his face would turn red any longer.He was even afraid of hearing Shu Yan's evaluation, whether it was good or bad, he felt that his heart might not be able to bear it.But there is still a little expectation... The clothes in the window, the jewelry in the jewelry store, and the soap opera on the TV can all be called "good-looking". He doesn't want this painting to be just good-looking.
"I seem to understand what this painting is about." Shu Yan said suddenly, "I'm not sure, I just feel a little bit like..."
An Yuan lowered his head and saw a scratch on his leather shoe. He didn't know where it was made. He kept staring at the scratch, and then said softly, "What does it look like?"
"Isn't that... Don Quixote?"
An Yuan raised his head and met Shu Yan's questioning eyes. His eyes were bright, and he said, "I think it's very similar, windmills, knights, and skinny horses! But I'm not sure, because you know, Painting, I can’t explain it clearly, I’m sorry to make you laugh, I really don’t know how to draw, but I think it’s very similar after looking at it for a long time. However, he doesn’t have a spear, and he doesn’t seem to be rushing to fight, so I was guessing too, Anyuan, do you know the meaning of this painting? Did you ask someone to draw it?"
An Yuan put out the cigarette, cleared his throat, and said slowly, "It's Don Quixote, but like you said, he doesn't have a spear, so he can't defeat the windmill. Since he can't, why rush over."
"And what about his spear?"
"Who knows. Maybe it's broken, maybe it's lost, maybe it wasn't there at all."
"But there was no windmill before. So he didn't need a spear or a sprint." Shu Yan said: "When I saw this painting before, I just felt very lonely and lonely. In a sunflower field, under the dim yellow sky, there was only A man riding a skinny horse, I told you the other day. But looking at it now, I feel that the author may have encountered something? He added an obstacle to himself, and maybe he just didn’t finish the painting, he might Haven't had time to paint the spear yet."
"Whether there is a spear or not can change anything... Don Quixote did not defeat the windmill."
"An Yuan."
Shu Yan called An Yuan's name, and then said seriously: "Don Quixote never wanted to defeat the windmill. What he wanted to defeat was the giant he imagined. What he needed to defeat was not the windmill, but his own demons. "
"Anyuan, you can win without a spear. As long as you defeat yourself, it doesn't matter whether the windmill exists or not. You just need to walk over it. This sunflower field is so vast, there will be no way out."
"The coffee you both want is ready. Please taste it slowly. If you have any comments, please keep it." The handsome guy at the bar appeared with the coffee at this moment. He first put a cup in front of Shu Yan, and then put a cup in front of An Yuan. He wanted to say goodbye, but he saw An Yuan's face turned aside. It was rare for him to see the boss like this, so he joked:
"Boss, why is your face so red?"
An Yuan immediately waved his hand and said, "Get out! I didn't blush, it's just too hot today, did you turn on the air conditioner?"
The handsome guy smiled and said, "It's spring now, the front hall is full and there are only the three of us. Why do we turn on the air conditioner? I saved the boss's electricity bill and ended up taking the blame for it. I won't do it. Mr. Shu, do you think it's too hot for me?" blush?"
Shu Yan smiled and didn't speak. He also noticed that An Yuan's face was a little red, but he couldn't point it out clearly, after all, he wasn't familiar enough.
The handsome guy said: "Forget it, it's fine if he doesn't admit it, I'm going to go to the bar to get busy, you two have a slow chat, I've already told them in the kitchen, they've already started preparing dishes, and you're chatting about the same Just call me, and I'll tell them to start doing it. Go ahead and talk about your blush."
Shu Yan couldn't hold back this time either, he laughed and said, "We don't talk about blushing, his blushing has nothing to do with me, we're just talking about this wall painting in your store, I think it's very beautiful, so Talk to Mr. An a few more words."
"That's none of your business." The handsome guy pointed to An Yuan and said, "This painting was drawn by our boss. He must have been shy after hearing your praise."
"Are you going? If you don't go, you won't be able to use it tomorrow." An Yuan blushed even more, he felt like a teenage boy whose secret was discovered in a drawer.
Seeing An Yuan's appearance, the handsome guy ran away with oil on his feet, leaving Shu Yan fidgeting in embarrassment.
"Mr. An, I don't understand art. Don't pay attention to what I just said. I am a person who has no appreciation for art. I just really think that although this painting looks depressing, no, it's not depressing. Well, the point is that it's beautiful, really beautiful. Although I don't know why the windmill is in the sunflower field, but these sunflowers are so beautiful."
An Yuan's heart was out of his control at the moment, he could only stiffly push Shu Yan's coffee towards Shu Yan, and then whispered: "Drink some coffee, the temperature is right now, it will be cold in a while .”
The two chatted casually while drinking coffee, nothing more than talking about Anyuan's restaurant and company.Shu Yan said that he really didn't expect An Yuan to study art, because An Yuan looked more... Saying that about me, saying that I’m not like someone who can hold a paintbrush.”
"Do you like to draw?" Shu Yan asked.
An Yuan thought for a while and said: "In the beginning, my parents forced me to learn. They always thought it would be better to learn more things. What if they are useful? So what art, music, calligraphy and dance back then, hey, don't laugh. , There is really dance, but unfortunately I am born with a hard bone and can't do the fork, so the practice time is the shortest. In short, I have to learn everything that is popular, and I have to go back and forth. Only art can be regarded as persistent. Well, there will always be feelings... Saying that I like painting is not really counted, it is more appropriate to say that it is a tool for making a living and a way to talk.”
Shu Yan said with a smile: "That means I like it. Who would confide in something they don't like?"
An Yuan didn't deny it, just smiled and looked at the paintings on the wall.
During the chat, An Yuan's phone rang several times, but he glanced at the screen before pressing it off.He felt that the current atmosphere was very good, a bit like their midnight chat before, relaxed, happy, and unburdened.He didn't want the troubles on the phone to affect his mood at the moment, he was very afraid that the little joy at the moment would disappear after answering the phone.
At six o'clock sharp, the chef of Anyuan Restaurant came out to greet them and handed Shu Yan a menu.
There are about a dozen kinds of dishes above. This is the menu that has been almost decided, but some details still need to be improved.An Yuan said that they can eat one dish at a time. The amount is not large, so they eat slowly.
Shu Yan said, "Is it just the two of us? Is there no one else?"
An Yuan shook his head: "Actually, all my friends have come here to try these two weeks, and the current ones are some of the dishes with higher praise selected by everyone. Today, it's just the two of us, originally there was Xu Pingchuan, you know, um, He is not coming, so the two of us have to decide on the wine. I hope that the wine list should not be too many, but should be refined. Each wine can be paired with several dishes. It is best to have a little bit of character. I have communicated with Xu Pingchuan about the price. However, I believe he has told you, anyway, this matter is going to trouble you.”
So An Yuan and Shu Yan started today's work - eating.
Although Shu Yan came to try the dishes for the first time, he obviously came prepared. An Yuan found that Shu Yan was quite familiar with the dishes, and he talked about them in a logical manner, while the opinions on the wine were obviously made on the basis of Xu Pingchuan. So the conversation went very smoothly, and Anyuan was very satisfied with Shu Yan's working status.
Because there were so many dishes, it took a long time to eat a meal. When it was time for the last dessert, Shu Yan finally breathed out and sighed: "Finally we are going to finish eating."
An Yuan smiled and said, "What's the matter? The food is not to your liking?"
Shu Yan sighed: "It's just too much to my appetite, every dish is delicious, so I should just taste it and change it, but I ate up every dish, I'm actually quite worried that if I I fell in love with the stutterer on your side, what should I do."
"Why are you worried about this kind of thing, you can eat it if you like it, and take care of our business."
"I can't afford to take care of it..." Shu Yan shook his head and said, "I just took a sneak peek at the pricing, it's not affordable for ordinary people like me."
An Yuan was happy to see Shu Yan eating the dessert bite by bite. He knew that Shu Yan was joking. The food in his restaurant was not expensive, but at ordinary prices, but An Yuan was happy to hear Shu Yan's complaints. An Yuan said : "You'd better take care of it, I'll give you VIP treatment."
"Can't it be free?"
"Only the proprietress is free in this shop."
Shu Yan smiled and shook his head: "Then I have no chance, give me a VIP."
An Yuan didn't speak, watching Shu Yan eat the last bite of dessert.
"Do you have someone you like?" An Yuan asked.
"Didn't you just ask in the car?"
"Are you together?"
"no."
"That……"
"I gave up."
"Why give up if you like it?"
"Because I can't catch it."
"Then give up and still like it?"
"like."
It was completely dark outside, only a few dim lights were turned on in the dining area of the restaurant, and the guy at the bar was playing lyrical foreign songs. Shu Yan leaned back on the chair and turned his head to look at the painting on the wall , he said: "Give up, but I still like it. I don't know how long it will take to stop thinking about him. I'm not even sure, but I think there will always be a day when I will suddenly forget him. I just need Wait for that day to come."
An Yuan said, "Then what if he comes back to look for you?"
Shu Yan said slowly: "If I am still a person, he is still a person, if I have not forgotten the fact that I like him, and he has not forgotten, then let's be together, let's make do, don't harm others .”
Shu Yan said: "After I separated, I can understand him a little bit. It turns out that it is really difficult to give up liking this thing, but I can only understand him a little bit. If he really finds me again, I will I hope he only likes me."
"Sounds pretty shitty."
Shu Yan smiled, a little brightly, and he said, "Yes, a little bit, but that's it, I still miss him, isn't it pretty silly."
An Yuan wants to say that you are not stupid, it is me who is stupid, not that you did not catch me, but that I did not catch you.
An Yuan had an impulse at this time. He wanted to make it clear to Shu Yan now, saying that he was the person he thought of, and he also missed him, but he still had a lot of unresolved issues. He had neither defeated the windmill nor the Giant, he didn't want Shu Yan to stand still on that painting with him, neither advancing nor retreating, frozen in the darkness.
Shuyan comes with better sunlight.
And can I give it to myself?
An Yuan's cell phone rang again, he looked at the screen and pressed it off again.
He thinks for a little time, just a little time, and I accumulate a little courage, and it will be done overnight.
And the phone's screen lit up again.
Shu Yan looked at An Yuan questioningly.
An Yuan became irritable. He picked up his phone and pressed the off button.
He wanted to say sorry to Shu Yan.
But at this moment, a girl stood at their table, holding a mobile phone, with an angry face, she said:
"Brother, why didn't you answer the phone?"
An Yuan felt a splitting headache and his mind was buzzing.
He stood up and smiled apologetically at Shu Yan: "I'm sorry, I'll take care of some things first, and I'll be right back."
Shu Yan immediately said: "You go, I'm fine, I just study the wine list at this time, and I'll talk about it when you come."
An Yuan forced a smile, then turned to his cousin and said, "Let's go out and talk about anything."
The cousin sneered: "Go out? I don't want to, I'm going to say it here."
An Yuan's patience was already on the edge of the cordon, he said: "Nonsense, this is a place for business, not a place for spoiling you."
"I'm messing around? I'm messing around? Anyuan, Anyuan, since you've come to this point, then I'm not messing around or messing around, so I'm sorry for your positioning of me? What kind of business do you have, except for the one sitting here? who?"
"This beauty is wrong, why is there no one here, I am standing here alive." The handsome guy at the bar ran over thinking the situation was wrong, and said softly to An Yuan's cousin, "Beauty, Don't get excited, you have something to talk to the boss about, don't get angry..." While the handsome guy was talking, An Yuan had already walked through the front hall to the back kitchen, An Yuan's cousin glared at the handsome guy, and hurriedly Chased after.
The cousin caught up with An Yuan, and said the same thing: "Why didn't you answer the phone?"
An Yuan sighed and said, "Is it interesting for you to ask this? You don't know why I didn't answer the phone? It was clearly stated in the text message I sent."
"You think a text message can send us away?"
"I never think so..." An Yuan said softly, as if telling himself, "Whom can I get rid of? I can't get rid of anyone. Didn't you find it? Of course, even if you don't come, you will." Wait for me at my house."
"Brother." The cousin's tone suddenly softened, and she said, "Brother, if I hadn't been cornered, I wouldn't have opened this mouth to you. You also know that after I came to Jiangzhou, it didn't go well, and my work and work were not good. Xin, make a boyfriend, and always quarrel with me. If this continues, I will be finished. You see, you have a successful career now, so please help me. My boyfriend said that the investment is really reliable. The leaders above are also involved. As long as they invest a little money, there will be returns every month, and there will be dividends at the end of the year. This quota is only available internally. If it weren't for him to have a way, it wouldn't be our turn. Yes. I also said before that brother, you can also join in. Everyone has money to make money together, but you don’t want it, so if you don’t do it, you can lend us some money, and we will pay you back as soon as possible. .”
An Yuan shook his head, he said: "I really have no money, I didn't lie to you, you also know how much Jiangzhou's expenses are, I have to repay the loan every month, and I have to support the people under my hand, I still owe the bank It's a lot of money. If this restaurant is in operation, it will burn money every minute. How can I lend you money? Besides, are you talking about a small amount? If you want to borrow a few thousand, or one or two Ten thousand, I really will give it to you without saying a word, but you borrow hundreds of thousands, sister, how can I have so much?"
The cousin said: "This is strange. You have money to spend in high-end places, but you don't have the money to lend us? Who would believe it?"
"It's all entertainment for me, it's a public account!"
"You didn't start the company!"
Seeing that it didn't make sense, An Yuan walked forward with a cold face, and his cousin followed closely. An Yuan said as he walked, "Let me just say this, I'll put my words here today, don't say I'm really poor, I'm Even if I have money, I won’t lend it to your boyfriend.”
"Why are you borrowing my boyfriend? You are borrowing me."
An Yuan said: "Lend it to you? Can you pay it back? If you can't pay it back, who will pay it back? Your dad? What about you? You are not satisfied with any of the jobs I introduced to you. You are either too tired or have too little money. Besides, your boyfriend lives in my house every day, doesn’t he even have a place to live? Cousin , You have been in Jiangzhou for a long time, you also go to work, and you know the situation of the people around you. When you come here with an education like yours, which one is not a low-level person? Besides, you don’t have to pay for food and lodging. You really It’s already much better than those little girls from outside! And your boyfriend, does he have a serious job? I don’t think he ever went to work? What does he do for a living? Do you know? Ah? You don’t want to be with I said to speculate in stocks at home, so I advise you to think twice!"
While talking, he walked to the street at the back door of the restaurant, and An Yuan stopped in his tracks.He took out the cigarette case and found that there was no cigarette in it. An Yuan angrily smashed the cigarette case to pieces and threw it into the trash can.
The cousin leaned against the door and said with a sneer: "What are you doing with the cigarette case? You just don't like me. Oh, I knew you couldn't see me. I took up your room and you couldn't take it. The man came back to fool around, didn’t he? What are you staring at me for? Do you have the guts to admit it? The paintings in your room are just like that. Do you think I’m stupid? My boyfriend just picked you up last time A phone call, you look excited, who do you think doesn’t know about you? The text message in your mobile phone, alas, I feel disgusting when I look at it, I’m saving face for you, brother, I haven’t said it all the time , I call you brother, but look at you now? How did you treat my sister? We just want to borrow a little money from you, and we will return it to you later! Look at you now With a company and a restaurant, why are you so good at it? I know you look down on me, seeing that I’m from my hometown town, you think I can’t get on the stage, right? You think I’m not as educated as you? Don’t want to think about how you got everything now? If you stayed in the town like me back then, you might not be as good as me! You got a Jiangzhou hukou and went to Jiangzhou to study, so you are shaking! You are now Turn your face and deny anyone! Why do you?!"
"He's on his own."
Shu Yan did not know when she stood behind her cousin.
An Yuan looked at Shu Yan and said to his cousin in a low voice: "Beauty, you are wrong to say that. It is hard work for Mr. An to achieve what he is today. There are so many people in Jiangzhou, and those who have registered permanent residence are not the same. If there are tens of millions, there must be millions. How many of them can do a little bit of good? How much help can it be just with household registration? I heard you just said that you are all from the town, and so am I. I’m also from a small city, and my family background in my hometown is more than the upper and lower than the lower, but in this place, it really doesn’t count. If you want to be successful, don’t you have to work hard on your own? Of course, you The matter with Mr. An is your family matter, I don't want to intervene, I just think Mr. An is really hard and not easy."
The cousin was robbed by Shu Yan, and she obviously couldn't hold back her face. She said, "Who are you? Why do you meddle in our affairs? What is your relationship with him? Oh... I know, you are in that kind of relationship, right?" ,Yes or no?"
"Shut up!" An Yuan yelled.
But the cousin obviously didn't let him get what he wanted. The cousin stared at Shu Yan for a while, and then said with a smile: "But you are not the person in the painting? Why, cousin, have you changed your lover?"
"Get out! Get out of here right now! I tell you I don't want to hit a woman!" An Yuan's neck was red, and his fists were clenched tightly. Yan whispered: "Don't be impulsive, An Yuan, she is your cousin, don't be impulsive."
The cousin saw that An Yuan seemed to be aroused, and her heart was a little bit drummed, but she didn't show weakness: "You hit it, if you have the ability, you hit it, you have the ability, you even hit your cousin! I'm going to tell my aunt, I'm going to tell your mom, you disgusting gay, no, it's you two disgusting gays!"
An Yuan's head was going to explode when he heard that, if it wasn't for Shu Yan who hugged him tightly, he would really rush up and beat this woman up, all cousins, all relatives, get out, get out!
The arm on the waist strangled Anyuan, Anyuan's eyes were red, and every muscle was bulging. His brain was like a disturbed magnetic field, sharp and ear-piercing, like a ball of tangled wool. The clues are chaotic.
But someone was still hugging him, his head resting on An Yuan's chest, he said: "Don't go, don't go, Anyuan, please, don't go."
By the time Shu Yan released An Yuan, the cousin had already disappeared.
An Yuan relaxed the tense muscles all over his body, slumped on the sofa, touched his lips, he really wanted to smoke a cigarette.
Shu Yan sat across from him blankly and looked at him.
He was scared.
An Yuan thought, has Shu Yan seen such a formation?
He remembered the information that Shu Yan revealed on the phone to let people know that he was a good baby, and his life went smoothly without any disturbances.
He must have never experienced such a thing.
Today such a situation has appeared countless times in my limited life.
And maybe, no, no maybe, for sure, it will continue to exist in his life, it can't be erased.
An Yuan's exhausted appearance made people feel heartbroken.
Shu Yan still has no sense of reality for what happened a few minutes ago.
But his sore arm and Anyuan's empty eyes all told of a war.
Shu Yan was obediently waiting for An Yuan to come back in the restaurant.The handsome guy at the bar sat beside Shu Yan and chatted with him, but the quarrel outside was really too loud. Although he couldn't hear what he was talking about, it was hard to ignore, so they could only use awkward smiles to cover up the quarrel. Things that happened.
Finally, Shu Yan couldn't sit still anymore.
The girl's voice was getting louder, but she couldn't hear An Yuan's movement, Shu Yan was a little worried.
Tell the handsome guy to go to the bathroom, the handsome guy hesitated and said: "If it looks really ugly, bring our boss back, his cousin is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and this is not the first time to make trouble, the last time was For work or something, I am his employee, I was not very good in the past, I should trouble you, Mr. Shu."
Shu Yan nodded, and then walked to the back. As soon as he got to the back door, he heard the girl shouting, "Why are you doing well?"
Hearing the next few words, Shu Yan's blood surged upwards, but seeing An Yuan put his hands in his trouser pockets and kept his head down. He saw the red color crawling from An Yuan's arms to his neck, and he knew that An Yuan must I was so angry, how could this girl say such words.
Shu Yan couldn't help but say a few words for An Yuan, the girl's face is considered beautiful, but the words she said were like bayonets, stabbing someone's vitals.
When the girl sneered and asked if she was An Yuan's lover, Shu Yan thought he felt the greatest malice in the world, but he was still naive, the real malice was still waiting for him.
He, they, are disgustingly gay.
At that time, Shu Yan was hugging An Yuan tightly, he was afraid that he would rush up and hit someone, but he couldn't help but want to hit this woman himself.
He wanted to confront the girl and tell her: We are gay, but I, we, are not disgusting.
But he can only hug Anyuan until the world returns to peace.
At this time, Shu Yan didn't know what to say, he felt that he would never comfort others, although Mr. A often said that Shu Yan always comforted himself, but Shu Yan knew that he would not comfort others, because he didn't drink enough chicken soup So much, I can't even pour it out at critical moments.
He wanted to wait for An Yuan to speak first, but An Yuan was stranded on the beach like a dragon whose muscles and bones had been pulled out.
For the first time, Shu Yan hated himself for not being able to smoke, maybe handing An Yuan a cigarette at this time, would he feel better?
The handsome guy at the bar went to nowhere, only their area in the whole store was lit, through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, occasionally flickering lights could be seen flowing in the darkness, it was the light from passing vehicles, they came Go in a hurry, fleeting.
The whole world is quiet, except for the patter of rain.
"It's raining." An Yuan said.
"Well, the weather forecast says it's still going to rain for the next few days."
"I hate rain." An Yuan's low voice accompanied by the sound of rain is like returning to those nights last autumn. It rained for many days. Shu Yan lay on the bed and listened to Mr. A telling him various stories. Something fun like that, or having sex.
Mr. An's voice is really similar to his, very similar, but Shu Yan has never experienced this kind of atmosphere on the phone: depression, decadence, and bewilderment.
"Jiangzhou starts to rain as soon as spring comes. The rain never stops. Everywhere is wet, cold, and gloomy. Occasionally seeing the sun one day seems to be stolen. I have been here since the day I’m not used to this climate, it’s been ten years now, but I still hate rain.”
An Yuan took a sip of the coffee, Shu Yan wanted to stop it because the coffee was already cold, but An Yuan didn't seem to care, he said, "I'm not from here, my family is just like yours, in the north, A little further away, I used to live there before my third year of high school. It was very poor, very closed, small town, and not many people. We all knew the children on the road who were about my age. For example, Lin Li, he was me. classmate."
When An Yuan talked about this, his face had a slight expression, and he said: "Really, it's a small place, just a few streets, and you can walk around it casually, but you were happy at that time. You know how to feel sad. Until the summer vacation of the second year of high school, my parents said they would send me to Jiangzhou."
An Yuan looked at Shu Yan, and suddenly smiled: "Do I look like a Jiangzhou native? Is my Jiangzhou dialect not authentic? I have really learned it for a long time."
"Let me tell you, my dad is an educated youth. He married my mom when he jumped in the queue. My mom is a local. When she can go back to the city, she must be single. At that time, there were a lot of divorces, "debts" Have you read it? That’s what I’m talking about. My dad is pretty good. He didn’t leave, so he stayed with us, and then I was born. Jiangzhou issued a policy, saying that if a child like me has a house in Jiangzhou If you can receive the household registration, you can settle down and go back. My father begged my grandparents, my grandparents begged my uncle, and my uncle had no choice but to live in an old man’s house, so he agreed to take me back. But my relatives on my mother’s side felt that it was cheap for me. Ah, I discussed that my cousin and I should be declared as twins and go back together. Naive? They are very naive, they think there is nothing that can’t be solved by crying, making trouble and hanging themselves. In their eyes, the kings and laws of the whole country are similar to those of the village committee... Hehe, of course this will not work, let alone whether the country will investigate you, and my uncle will not agree, there will be one more person on the household registration for no reason. Forget it, now I want two more? What is the household registration, the household registration is money, it is the square meter for demolition, and it is a subsidy. If there is one more person, I will share it with you. My dad signed an agreement at the time and said that they will not care Whether to share the house or the money, I have to give them my share, and my uncle agrees."
"In short, in the eyes of the grown-ups, they have worked so hard for me and offended all the relatives that they all agree that I come to Jiangzhou, have a Jiangzhou household registration, and take the college entrance examination in Jiangzhou. They all agree. It’s just that no one asked me if I agreed or not…”
Shu Yan felt sad seeing An Yuan say these words with a smile.He has never experienced these complicated interpersonal relationships. He thought that these things would only appear in various forums and gossip. He knew these existed, but he never thought that one day they would be so close.
An Yuan looked at him with gentle eyes, and continued: "I live with my cousin, he is not very friendly to me, but it's true, it was originally a very small room, and half of it has to be allocated to outsiders. No one has a very nice attitude. Although my grandparents treated me well, you know, no matter whether they treat me or I treat them, they are people who I only see once a year or a few years. I still feel kind when I see them suddenly. , but after a long time, I became unfamiliar. I didn’t catch up with my studies at the beginning. Fortunately, my parents still spent all their money to support my painting, so that I stayed in the studio most of the time and didn’t have to watch people’s faces all the time. .”
Shu Yan sat there listening to this, feeling his chest was constricted and he couldn't breathe.
He frowned and looked down at the cold coffee, Shu Yan also wanted to take a sip, wondering if he could relieve the depression in his heart a little.At this time, he put a hand on his head and gently rubbed his hair. He heard An Yuan say softly: "Don't do this, you look like you're about to cry."
An Yuan had said this to himself before, when he attended the first wine tasting party but came out in a panic, he sent himself back to the dormitory, before getting off the car, he also said that he looked like he was about to cry.
Maybe I'm really not that strong... What would happen if what An Yuan said happened to me?
Shu Yan couldn't imagine.
Shu Yan exhausted all his strength and could only say one sentence: "It will pass, sleep up, and tomorrow will be a new day."
An Yuan smiled wearily, then shook his head: "This is where it is, it won't pass, this is the beginning."
While speaking, An Yuan's cell phone on the table rang again, An Yuan picked it up and showed Shu Yan, the word "Mom" appeared on the screen.
An Yuan took a deep breath, and then connected the phone.
Shu Yan was a little embarrassed and didn't know if he needed to avoid it, but An Yuan's brows became more and more wrinkled.
"I know she will tell you, isn't she always the first to make trouble for the whole world to know?"
"I am, she didn't lie, I am."
"I know, mother, I let
Shu Yan said with a smile: "Don't make fun of me, there is no one more handsome than you in a radius of ten miles?"
The handsome guy grinned and pointed at Shu Yan's back. Shu Yan turned around and realized that An Yuan was right behind him.
An Yuan's face was terribly dark, he walked in and knocked on the bar table and said, "This handsome guy, go and get two cups of coffee, hurry up, or the boss will get angry."
The handsome guy smiled and asked Shu Yan what kind of coffee he wanted to drink. There are several new types of coffee beans in the store, all of which are hand-roasted.Shu Yan said that he didn't understand that it's all up to the other party to decide, the handsome guy smiled and agreed, and then went to get coffee.
An Yuan took Shu Yan to the smoking area and found a seat to sit down.When An Yuan looked up and saw the wall painting, he realized that this table was the one he had sat with Song Zhifei before.He felt a little awkward and wanted to change the place, but before he opened his mouth to tell Shu Yan, he saw Shu Yan looking at the painting again.
Seeing Shu Yan's concentration, An Yuan felt embarrassed to speak, and the long-lost shyness crept into his heart.
He hasn't painted for a long time, and this wall painting is his latest work.Although he felt that this kind of wall painting might be difficult to sell, only he knew the energy and emotion he put into this painting.
It's like cutting out the heart for others to see.
But few people pay attention to it.Even Song Zhifei, who was so thoughtful, only said something nice.
Shu Yan is looking at this painting so intently now, just like when An Yuan saw him for the first time, but there was a smile on the corner of Shu Yan's mouth at that time, but now Shu Yan is frowning.
"It seems something is different..." Shu Yan muttered, then looked at An Yuan with a frown and said, "Has this painting been changed? Why do I feel that it is different from what I remembered..."
An Yuan was a little surprised, he remembered that Shu Yan came to him only once, and he still remembered the content of the painting.
"Is it... Is there no such thing before, um, is it a windmill?" Shu Yan pointed to the left side of the wall painting, "There was no such thing before, right? Is it a windmill... It's too small, I'm not sure."
"It's a windmill." An Yuan touched his pocket, he felt that he needed a cigarette at this time.
When he took out the cigarette case and took out a cigarette inside, his fingers trembled a little.
"Can I smoke?"
"Of course." Shu Yan said with a smile, "This is your restaurant, and I'm fine, I don't mind."
An Yuan lit the cigarette, took a deep breath, stuck out his tongue and licked his lips, then squinted his eyes and looked at Shu Yan through the smoke: he was looking at the painting again.
Shu Yan's profile is very beautiful, the lines are clean and neat, neither deep nor round.
Concise, just like himself.
An Yuan really wanted to tell Shu Yan not to watch it, his face would turn red any longer.He was even afraid of hearing Shu Yan's evaluation, whether it was good or bad, he felt that his heart might not be able to bear it.But there is still a little expectation... The clothes in the window, the jewelry in the jewelry store, and the soap opera on the TV can all be called "good-looking". He doesn't want this painting to be just good-looking.
"I seem to understand what this painting is about." Shu Yan said suddenly, "I'm not sure, I just feel a little bit like..."
An Yuan lowered his head and saw a scratch on his leather shoe. He didn't know where it was made. He kept staring at the scratch, and then said softly, "What does it look like?"
"Isn't that... Don Quixote?"
An Yuan raised his head and met Shu Yan's questioning eyes. His eyes were bright, and he said, "I think it's very similar, windmills, knights, and skinny horses! But I'm not sure, because you know, Painting, I can’t explain it clearly, I’m sorry to make you laugh, I really don’t know how to draw, but I think it’s very similar after looking at it for a long time. However, he doesn’t have a spear, and he doesn’t seem to be rushing to fight, so I was guessing too, Anyuan, do you know the meaning of this painting? Did you ask someone to draw it?"
An Yuan put out the cigarette, cleared his throat, and said slowly, "It's Don Quixote, but like you said, he doesn't have a spear, so he can't defeat the windmill. Since he can't, why rush over."
"And what about his spear?"
"Who knows. Maybe it's broken, maybe it's lost, maybe it wasn't there at all."
"But there was no windmill before. So he didn't need a spear or a sprint." Shu Yan said: "When I saw this painting before, I just felt very lonely and lonely. In a sunflower field, under the dim yellow sky, there was only A man riding a skinny horse, I told you the other day. But looking at it now, I feel that the author may have encountered something? He added an obstacle to himself, and maybe he just didn’t finish the painting, he might Haven't had time to paint the spear yet."
"Whether there is a spear or not can change anything... Don Quixote did not defeat the windmill."
"An Yuan."
Shu Yan called An Yuan's name, and then said seriously: "Don Quixote never wanted to defeat the windmill. What he wanted to defeat was the giant he imagined. What he needed to defeat was not the windmill, but his own demons. "
"Anyuan, you can win without a spear. As long as you defeat yourself, it doesn't matter whether the windmill exists or not. You just need to walk over it. This sunflower field is so vast, there will be no way out."
"The coffee you both want is ready. Please taste it slowly. If you have any comments, please keep it." The handsome guy at the bar appeared with the coffee at this moment. He first put a cup in front of Shu Yan, and then put a cup in front of An Yuan. He wanted to say goodbye, but he saw An Yuan's face turned aside. It was rare for him to see the boss like this, so he joked:
"Boss, why is your face so red?"
An Yuan immediately waved his hand and said, "Get out! I didn't blush, it's just too hot today, did you turn on the air conditioner?"
The handsome guy smiled and said, "It's spring now, the front hall is full and there are only the three of us. Why do we turn on the air conditioner? I saved the boss's electricity bill and ended up taking the blame for it. I won't do it. Mr. Shu, do you think it's too hot for me?" blush?"
Shu Yan smiled and didn't speak. He also noticed that An Yuan's face was a little red, but he couldn't point it out clearly, after all, he wasn't familiar enough.
The handsome guy said: "Forget it, it's fine if he doesn't admit it, I'm going to go to the bar to get busy, you two have a slow chat, I've already told them in the kitchen, they've already started preparing dishes, and you're chatting about the same Just call me, and I'll tell them to start doing it. Go ahead and talk about your blush."
Shu Yan couldn't hold back this time either, he laughed and said, "We don't talk about blushing, his blushing has nothing to do with me, we're just talking about this wall painting in your store, I think it's very beautiful, so Talk to Mr. An a few more words."
"That's none of your business." The handsome guy pointed to An Yuan and said, "This painting was drawn by our boss. He must have been shy after hearing your praise."
"Are you going? If you don't go, you won't be able to use it tomorrow." An Yuan blushed even more, he felt like a teenage boy whose secret was discovered in a drawer.
Seeing An Yuan's appearance, the handsome guy ran away with oil on his feet, leaving Shu Yan fidgeting in embarrassment.
"Mr. An, I don't understand art. Don't pay attention to what I just said. I am a person who has no appreciation for art. I just really think that although this painting looks depressing, no, it's not depressing. Well, the point is that it's beautiful, really beautiful. Although I don't know why the windmill is in the sunflower field, but these sunflowers are so beautiful."
An Yuan's heart was out of his control at the moment, he could only stiffly push Shu Yan's coffee towards Shu Yan, and then whispered: "Drink some coffee, the temperature is right now, it will be cold in a while .”
The two chatted casually while drinking coffee, nothing more than talking about Anyuan's restaurant and company.Shu Yan said that he really didn't expect An Yuan to study art, because An Yuan looked more... Saying that about me, saying that I’m not like someone who can hold a paintbrush.”
"Do you like to draw?" Shu Yan asked.
An Yuan thought for a while and said: "In the beginning, my parents forced me to learn. They always thought it would be better to learn more things. What if they are useful? So what art, music, calligraphy and dance back then, hey, don't laugh. , There is really dance, but unfortunately I am born with a hard bone and can't do the fork, so the practice time is the shortest. In short, I have to learn everything that is popular, and I have to go back and forth. Only art can be regarded as persistent. Well, there will always be feelings... Saying that I like painting is not really counted, it is more appropriate to say that it is a tool for making a living and a way to talk.”
Shu Yan said with a smile: "That means I like it. Who would confide in something they don't like?"
An Yuan didn't deny it, just smiled and looked at the paintings on the wall.
During the chat, An Yuan's phone rang several times, but he glanced at the screen before pressing it off.He felt that the current atmosphere was very good, a bit like their midnight chat before, relaxed, happy, and unburdened.He didn't want the troubles on the phone to affect his mood at the moment, he was very afraid that the little joy at the moment would disappear after answering the phone.
At six o'clock sharp, the chef of Anyuan Restaurant came out to greet them and handed Shu Yan a menu.
There are about a dozen kinds of dishes above. This is the menu that has been almost decided, but some details still need to be improved.An Yuan said that they can eat one dish at a time. The amount is not large, so they eat slowly.
Shu Yan said, "Is it just the two of us? Is there no one else?"
An Yuan shook his head: "Actually, all my friends have come here to try these two weeks, and the current ones are some of the dishes with higher praise selected by everyone. Today, it's just the two of us, originally there was Xu Pingchuan, you know, um, He is not coming, so the two of us have to decide on the wine. I hope that the wine list should not be too many, but should be refined. Each wine can be paired with several dishes. It is best to have a little bit of character. I have communicated with Xu Pingchuan about the price. However, I believe he has told you, anyway, this matter is going to trouble you.”
So An Yuan and Shu Yan started today's work - eating.
Although Shu Yan came to try the dishes for the first time, he obviously came prepared. An Yuan found that Shu Yan was quite familiar with the dishes, and he talked about them in a logical manner, while the opinions on the wine were obviously made on the basis of Xu Pingchuan. So the conversation went very smoothly, and Anyuan was very satisfied with Shu Yan's working status.
Because there were so many dishes, it took a long time to eat a meal. When it was time for the last dessert, Shu Yan finally breathed out and sighed: "Finally we are going to finish eating."
An Yuan smiled and said, "What's the matter? The food is not to your liking?"
Shu Yan sighed: "It's just too much to my appetite, every dish is delicious, so I should just taste it and change it, but I ate up every dish, I'm actually quite worried that if I I fell in love with the stutterer on your side, what should I do."
"Why are you worried about this kind of thing, you can eat it if you like it, and take care of our business."
"I can't afford to take care of it..." Shu Yan shook his head and said, "I just took a sneak peek at the pricing, it's not affordable for ordinary people like me."
An Yuan was happy to see Shu Yan eating the dessert bite by bite. He knew that Shu Yan was joking. The food in his restaurant was not expensive, but at ordinary prices, but An Yuan was happy to hear Shu Yan's complaints. An Yuan said : "You'd better take care of it, I'll give you VIP treatment."
"Can't it be free?"
"Only the proprietress is free in this shop."
Shu Yan smiled and shook his head: "Then I have no chance, give me a VIP."
An Yuan didn't speak, watching Shu Yan eat the last bite of dessert.
"Do you have someone you like?" An Yuan asked.
"Didn't you just ask in the car?"
"Are you together?"
"no."
"That……"
"I gave up."
"Why give up if you like it?"
"Because I can't catch it."
"Then give up and still like it?"
"like."
It was completely dark outside, only a few dim lights were turned on in the dining area of the restaurant, and the guy at the bar was playing lyrical foreign songs. Shu Yan leaned back on the chair and turned his head to look at the painting on the wall , he said: "Give up, but I still like it. I don't know how long it will take to stop thinking about him. I'm not even sure, but I think there will always be a day when I will suddenly forget him. I just need Wait for that day to come."
An Yuan said, "Then what if he comes back to look for you?"
Shu Yan said slowly: "If I am still a person, he is still a person, if I have not forgotten the fact that I like him, and he has not forgotten, then let's be together, let's make do, don't harm others .”
Shu Yan said: "After I separated, I can understand him a little bit. It turns out that it is really difficult to give up liking this thing, but I can only understand him a little bit. If he really finds me again, I will I hope he only likes me."
"Sounds pretty shitty."
Shu Yan smiled, a little brightly, and he said, "Yes, a little bit, but that's it, I still miss him, isn't it pretty silly."
An Yuan wants to say that you are not stupid, it is me who is stupid, not that you did not catch me, but that I did not catch you.
An Yuan had an impulse at this time. He wanted to make it clear to Shu Yan now, saying that he was the person he thought of, and he also missed him, but he still had a lot of unresolved issues. He had neither defeated the windmill nor the Giant, he didn't want Shu Yan to stand still on that painting with him, neither advancing nor retreating, frozen in the darkness.
Shuyan comes with better sunlight.
And can I give it to myself?
An Yuan's cell phone rang again, he looked at the screen and pressed it off again.
He thinks for a little time, just a little time, and I accumulate a little courage, and it will be done overnight.
And the phone's screen lit up again.
Shu Yan looked at An Yuan questioningly.
An Yuan became irritable. He picked up his phone and pressed the off button.
He wanted to say sorry to Shu Yan.
But at this moment, a girl stood at their table, holding a mobile phone, with an angry face, she said:
"Brother, why didn't you answer the phone?"
An Yuan felt a splitting headache and his mind was buzzing.
He stood up and smiled apologetically at Shu Yan: "I'm sorry, I'll take care of some things first, and I'll be right back."
Shu Yan immediately said: "You go, I'm fine, I just study the wine list at this time, and I'll talk about it when you come."
An Yuan forced a smile, then turned to his cousin and said, "Let's go out and talk about anything."
The cousin sneered: "Go out? I don't want to, I'm going to say it here."
An Yuan's patience was already on the edge of the cordon, he said: "Nonsense, this is a place for business, not a place for spoiling you."
"I'm messing around? I'm messing around? Anyuan, Anyuan, since you've come to this point, then I'm not messing around or messing around, so I'm sorry for your positioning of me? What kind of business do you have, except for the one sitting here? who?"
"This beauty is wrong, why is there no one here, I am standing here alive." The handsome guy at the bar ran over thinking the situation was wrong, and said softly to An Yuan's cousin, "Beauty, Don't get excited, you have something to talk to the boss about, don't get angry..." While the handsome guy was talking, An Yuan had already walked through the front hall to the back kitchen, An Yuan's cousin glared at the handsome guy, and hurriedly Chased after.
The cousin caught up with An Yuan, and said the same thing: "Why didn't you answer the phone?"
An Yuan sighed and said, "Is it interesting for you to ask this? You don't know why I didn't answer the phone? It was clearly stated in the text message I sent."
"You think a text message can send us away?"
"I never think so..." An Yuan said softly, as if telling himself, "Whom can I get rid of? I can't get rid of anyone. Didn't you find it? Of course, even if you don't come, you will." Wait for me at my house."
"Brother." The cousin's tone suddenly softened, and she said, "Brother, if I hadn't been cornered, I wouldn't have opened this mouth to you. You also know that after I came to Jiangzhou, it didn't go well, and my work and work were not good. Xin, make a boyfriend, and always quarrel with me. If this continues, I will be finished. You see, you have a successful career now, so please help me. My boyfriend said that the investment is really reliable. The leaders above are also involved. As long as they invest a little money, there will be returns every month, and there will be dividends at the end of the year. This quota is only available internally. If it weren't for him to have a way, it wouldn't be our turn. Yes. I also said before that brother, you can also join in. Everyone has money to make money together, but you don’t want it, so if you don’t do it, you can lend us some money, and we will pay you back as soon as possible. .”
An Yuan shook his head, he said: "I really have no money, I didn't lie to you, you also know how much Jiangzhou's expenses are, I have to repay the loan every month, and I have to support the people under my hand, I still owe the bank It's a lot of money. If this restaurant is in operation, it will burn money every minute. How can I lend you money? Besides, are you talking about a small amount? If you want to borrow a few thousand, or one or two Ten thousand, I really will give it to you without saying a word, but you borrow hundreds of thousands, sister, how can I have so much?"
The cousin said: "This is strange. You have money to spend in high-end places, but you don't have the money to lend us? Who would believe it?"
"It's all entertainment for me, it's a public account!"
"You didn't start the company!"
Seeing that it didn't make sense, An Yuan walked forward with a cold face, and his cousin followed closely. An Yuan said as he walked, "Let me just say this, I'll put my words here today, don't say I'm really poor, I'm Even if I have money, I won’t lend it to your boyfriend.”
"Why are you borrowing my boyfriend? You are borrowing me."
An Yuan said: "Lend it to you? Can you pay it back? If you can't pay it back, who will pay it back? Your dad? What about you? You are not satisfied with any of the jobs I introduced to you. You are either too tired or have too little money. Besides, your boyfriend lives in my house every day, doesn’t he even have a place to live? Cousin , You have been in Jiangzhou for a long time, you also go to work, and you know the situation of the people around you. When you come here with an education like yours, which one is not a low-level person? Besides, you don’t have to pay for food and lodging. You really It’s already much better than those little girls from outside! And your boyfriend, does he have a serious job? I don’t think he ever went to work? What does he do for a living? Do you know? Ah? You don’t want to be with I said to speculate in stocks at home, so I advise you to think twice!"
While talking, he walked to the street at the back door of the restaurant, and An Yuan stopped in his tracks.He took out the cigarette case and found that there was no cigarette in it. An Yuan angrily smashed the cigarette case to pieces and threw it into the trash can.
The cousin leaned against the door and said with a sneer: "What are you doing with the cigarette case? You just don't like me. Oh, I knew you couldn't see me. I took up your room and you couldn't take it. The man came back to fool around, didn’t he? What are you staring at me for? Do you have the guts to admit it? The paintings in your room are just like that. Do you think I’m stupid? My boyfriend just picked you up last time A phone call, you look excited, who do you think doesn’t know about you? The text message in your mobile phone, alas, I feel disgusting when I look at it, I’m saving face for you, brother, I haven’t said it all the time , I call you brother, but look at you now? How did you treat my sister? We just want to borrow a little money from you, and we will return it to you later! Look at you now With a company and a restaurant, why are you so good at it? I know you look down on me, seeing that I’m from my hometown town, you think I can’t get on the stage, right? You think I’m not as educated as you? Don’t want to think about how you got everything now? If you stayed in the town like me back then, you might not be as good as me! You got a Jiangzhou hukou and went to Jiangzhou to study, so you are shaking! You are now Turn your face and deny anyone! Why do you?!"
"He's on his own."
Shu Yan did not know when she stood behind her cousin.
An Yuan looked at Shu Yan and said to his cousin in a low voice: "Beauty, you are wrong to say that. It is hard work for Mr. An to achieve what he is today. There are so many people in Jiangzhou, and those who have registered permanent residence are not the same. If there are tens of millions, there must be millions. How many of them can do a little bit of good? How much help can it be just with household registration? I heard you just said that you are all from the town, and so am I. I’m also from a small city, and my family background in my hometown is more than the upper and lower than the lower, but in this place, it really doesn’t count. If you want to be successful, don’t you have to work hard on your own? Of course, you The matter with Mr. An is your family matter, I don't want to intervene, I just think Mr. An is really hard and not easy."
The cousin was robbed by Shu Yan, and she obviously couldn't hold back her face. She said, "Who are you? Why do you meddle in our affairs? What is your relationship with him? Oh... I know, you are in that kind of relationship, right?" ,Yes or no?"
"Shut up!" An Yuan yelled.
But the cousin obviously didn't let him get what he wanted. The cousin stared at Shu Yan for a while, and then said with a smile: "But you are not the person in the painting? Why, cousin, have you changed your lover?"
"Get out! Get out of here right now! I tell you I don't want to hit a woman!" An Yuan's neck was red, and his fists were clenched tightly. Yan whispered: "Don't be impulsive, An Yuan, she is your cousin, don't be impulsive."
The cousin saw that An Yuan seemed to be aroused, and her heart was a little bit drummed, but she didn't show weakness: "You hit it, if you have the ability, you hit it, you have the ability, you even hit your cousin! I'm going to tell my aunt, I'm going to tell your mom, you disgusting gay, no, it's you two disgusting gays!"
An Yuan's head was going to explode when he heard that, if it wasn't for Shu Yan who hugged him tightly, he would really rush up and beat this woman up, all cousins, all relatives, get out, get out!
The arm on the waist strangled Anyuan, Anyuan's eyes were red, and every muscle was bulging. His brain was like a disturbed magnetic field, sharp and ear-piercing, like a ball of tangled wool. The clues are chaotic.
But someone was still hugging him, his head resting on An Yuan's chest, he said: "Don't go, don't go, Anyuan, please, don't go."
By the time Shu Yan released An Yuan, the cousin had already disappeared.
An Yuan relaxed the tense muscles all over his body, slumped on the sofa, touched his lips, he really wanted to smoke a cigarette.
Shu Yan sat across from him blankly and looked at him.
He was scared.
An Yuan thought, has Shu Yan seen such a formation?
He remembered the information that Shu Yan revealed on the phone to let people know that he was a good baby, and his life went smoothly without any disturbances.
He must have never experienced such a thing.
Today such a situation has appeared countless times in my limited life.
And maybe, no, no maybe, for sure, it will continue to exist in his life, it can't be erased.
An Yuan's exhausted appearance made people feel heartbroken.
Shu Yan still has no sense of reality for what happened a few minutes ago.
But his sore arm and Anyuan's empty eyes all told of a war.
Shu Yan was obediently waiting for An Yuan to come back in the restaurant.The handsome guy at the bar sat beside Shu Yan and chatted with him, but the quarrel outside was really too loud. Although he couldn't hear what he was talking about, it was hard to ignore, so they could only use awkward smiles to cover up the quarrel. Things that happened.
Finally, Shu Yan couldn't sit still anymore.
The girl's voice was getting louder, but she couldn't hear An Yuan's movement, Shu Yan was a little worried.
Tell the handsome guy to go to the bathroom, the handsome guy hesitated and said: "If it looks really ugly, bring our boss back, his cousin is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and this is not the first time to make trouble, the last time was For work or something, I am his employee, I was not very good in the past, I should trouble you, Mr. Shu."
Shu Yan nodded, and then walked to the back. As soon as he got to the back door, he heard the girl shouting, "Why are you doing well?"
Hearing the next few words, Shu Yan's blood surged upwards, but seeing An Yuan put his hands in his trouser pockets and kept his head down. He saw the red color crawling from An Yuan's arms to his neck, and he knew that An Yuan must I was so angry, how could this girl say such words.
Shu Yan couldn't help but say a few words for An Yuan, the girl's face is considered beautiful, but the words she said were like bayonets, stabbing someone's vitals.
When the girl sneered and asked if she was An Yuan's lover, Shu Yan thought he felt the greatest malice in the world, but he was still naive, the real malice was still waiting for him.
He, they, are disgustingly gay.
At that time, Shu Yan was hugging An Yuan tightly, he was afraid that he would rush up and hit someone, but he couldn't help but want to hit this woman himself.
He wanted to confront the girl and tell her: We are gay, but I, we, are not disgusting.
But he can only hug Anyuan until the world returns to peace.
At this time, Shu Yan didn't know what to say, he felt that he would never comfort others, although Mr. A often said that Shu Yan always comforted himself, but Shu Yan knew that he would not comfort others, because he didn't drink enough chicken soup So much, I can't even pour it out at critical moments.
He wanted to wait for An Yuan to speak first, but An Yuan was stranded on the beach like a dragon whose muscles and bones had been pulled out.
For the first time, Shu Yan hated himself for not being able to smoke, maybe handing An Yuan a cigarette at this time, would he feel better?
The handsome guy at the bar went to nowhere, only their area in the whole store was lit, through the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, occasionally flickering lights could be seen flowing in the darkness, it was the light from passing vehicles, they came Go in a hurry, fleeting.
The whole world is quiet, except for the patter of rain.
"It's raining." An Yuan said.
"Well, the weather forecast says it's still going to rain for the next few days."
"I hate rain." An Yuan's low voice accompanied by the sound of rain is like returning to those nights last autumn. It rained for many days. Shu Yan lay on the bed and listened to Mr. A telling him various stories. Something fun like that, or having sex.
Mr. An's voice is really similar to his, very similar, but Shu Yan has never experienced this kind of atmosphere on the phone: depression, decadence, and bewilderment.
"Jiangzhou starts to rain as soon as spring comes. The rain never stops. Everywhere is wet, cold, and gloomy. Occasionally seeing the sun one day seems to be stolen. I have been here since the day I’m not used to this climate, it’s been ten years now, but I still hate rain.”
An Yuan took a sip of the coffee, Shu Yan wanted to stop it because the coffee was already cold, but An Yuan didn't seem to care, he said, "I'm not from here, my family is just like yours, in the north, A little further away, I used to live there before my third year of high school. It was very poor, very closed, small town, and not many people. We all knew the children on the road who were about my age. For example, Lin Li, he was me. classmate."
When An Yuan talked about this, his face had a slight expression, and he said: "Really, it's a small place, just a few streets, and you can walk around it casually, but you were happy at that time. You know how to feel sad. Until the summer vacation of the second year of high school, my parents said they would send me to Jiangzhou."
An Yuan looked at Shu Yan, and suddenly smiled: "Do I look like a Jiangzhou native? Is my Jiangzhou dialect not authentic? I have really learned it for a long time."
"Let me tell you, my dad is an educated youth. He married my mom when he jumped in the queue. My mom is a local. When she can go back to the city, she must be single. At that time, there were a lot of divorces, "debts" Have you read it? That’s what I’m talking about. My dad is pretty good. He didn’t leave, so he stayed with us, and then I was born. Jiangzhou issued a policy, saying that if a child like me has a house in Jiangzhou If you can receive the household registration, you can settle down and go back. My father begged my grandparents, my grandparents begged my uncle, and my uncle had no choice but to live in an old man’s house, so he agreed to take me back. But my relatives on my mother’s side felt that it was cheap for me. Ah, I discussed that my cousin and I should be declared as twins and go back together. Naive? They are very naive, they think there is nothing that can’t be solved by crying, making trouble and hanging themselves. In their eyes, the kings and laws of the whole country are similar to those of the village committee... Hehe, of course this will not work, let alone whether the country will investigate you, and my uncle will not agree, there will be one more person on the household registration for no reason. Forget it, now I want two more? What is the household registration, the household registration is money, it is the square meter for demolition, and it is a subsidy. If there is one more person, I will share it with you. My dad signed an agreement at the time and said that they will not care Whether to share the house or the money, I have to give them my share, and my uncle agrees."
"In short, in the eyes of the grown-ups, they have worked so hard for me and offended all the relatives that they all agree that I come to Jiangzhou, have a Jiangzhou household registration, and take the college entrance examination in Jiangzhou. They all agree. It’s just that no one asked me if I agreed or not…”
Shu Yan felt sad seeing An Yuan say these words with a smile.He has never experienced these complicated interpersonal relationships. He thought that these things would only appear in various forums and gossip. He knew these existed, but he never thought that one day they would be so close.
An Yuan looked at him with gentle eyes, and continued: "I live with my cousin, he is not very friendly to me, but it's true, it was originally a very small room, and half of it has to be allocated to outsiders. No one has a very nice attitude. Although my grandparents treated me well, you know, no matter whether they treat me or I treat them, they are people who I only see once a year or a few years. I still feel kind when I see them suddenly. , but after a long time, I became unfamiliar. I didn’t catch up with my studies at the beginning. Fortunately, my parents still spent all their money to support my painting, so that I stayed in the studio most of the time and didn’t have to watch people’s faces all the time. .”
Shu Yan sat there listening to this, feeling his chest was constricted and he couldn't breathe.
He frowned and looked down at the cold coffee, Shu Yan also wanted to take a sip, wondering if he could relieve the depression in his heart a little.At this time, he put a hand on his head and gently rubbed his hair. He heard An Yuan say softly: "Don't do this, you look like you're about to cry."
An Yuan had said this to himself before, when he attended the first wine tasting party but came out in a panic, he sent himself back to the dormitory, before getting off the car, he also said that he looked like he was about to cry.
Maybe I'm really not that strong... What would happen if what An Yuan said happened to me?
Shu Yan couldn't imagine.
Shu Yan exhausted all his strength and could only say one sentence: "It will pass, sleep up, and tomorrow will be a new day."
An Yuan smiled wearily, then shook his head: "This is where it is, it won't pass, this is the beginning."
While speaking, An Yuan's cell phone on the table rang again, An Yuan picked it up and showed Shu Yan, the word "Mom" appeared on the screen.
An Yuan took a deep breath, and then connected the phone.
Shu Yan was a little embarrassed and didn't know if he needed to avoid it, but An Yuan's brows became more and more wrinkled.
"I know she will tell you, isn't she always the first to make trouble for the whole world to know?"
"I am, she didn't lie, I am."
"I know, mother, I let
