lone bird

Shen Qi arrived early, when Shi An pushed the restaurant door, he saw Shen Qi stretching his neck like a giraffe and waving at him.

Shi An raised his hand in greeting, and walked towards Shen Qi's position.

"Good guy, just come, why don't you buy gifts." Shen Qi took the big box of nutritional products that Shi An handed over.

"Uncle is hospitalized and I don't have time to visit him. This is my wish." After Shi An finished speaking, he poured a glass of cold water.

After drinking it, I regretted it, and my stomach was cold. Even if the weather is still hot, I will definitely have a stomachache when I go home at night after drinking such a cold thing.

Going out to eat with Shen Qi has already relieved my worries to the point where I don't even have to bother to order the dishes. Shen Qi has already ordered according to Shi An's taste, but the topic between the two of them at the dinner table will never be separated from Yan Feilan .

"What on earth does Yan Feilan want to do? I haven't even seen you in the past five years?" Shen Qi said with righteous indignation.

Shi An liked Yan Feilan, only Shi An and Shen Qi knew about it, and Shen Qi knew about it by accident, otherwise Shi An might only know about it now.

In the past five years, Shi An has gotten used to Yan Feilan's rejection. In the first month, Shi An secretly cried by himself. In the second and third months... Slowly, Shi An stopped crying , but I have been looking forward to it all the time, and I also looked forward to it before going out this morning.

But Yan Feilan has been bad since he was in school, and he is still bad now, and he will destroy Shi An's expectations.

"Forget it, it's all over anyway." Shi Anzhan smiled and said, "He's coming out next month."

Only Shi An always remembers the date of Yan Feilan's release from prison, and people like Shen Qi who only eat and earn money in their minds have no time to remember.

"Damn, so fast?" Shen Qi was a little surprised, then he thought of something and asked Shi An again: "Isn't the area of ​​his house demolished? Where will he live after he is released from prison?"

"That's mine."

"Ah?" Shen Qi's eyes widened, and he went out with a loud voice, many people in the restaurant looked over.

Shi An hurriedly nodded to the others to apologize, and then slapped Shen Qi across the table: "Why are you so loud? Why are you howling!"

"No!" Shen Qi became anxious, he felt that Shi An must have something short in his mind, "He hasn't even seen you in the past five years, and you still plan to let him come out to live with you? Shi An, Shi An, Are you out of your wits?"

Shi An looked at Shen Qi calmly and yelled, he waited for Shen Qi to finish speaking before asking: "It's not me who is missing the root between us."

Shen Qi didn't know how to respond to Shi An's words. He didn't know whether Shi An's so-called Yan Feilan's lack of roots meant that Yan Feilan hadn't found out that Shi An liked him for so many years, or that Yan Feilan rejected him 59 times. Visiting, or saying that Yan Feilan put himself in prison for Shi An.

"Eat, what are you thinking about?" Shi An raised his chin to Shen Qi and said.

Shen Qi still couldn't control his nosy mouth, he asked: "Can you live there? It's really impossible to let Yan Feilan live in my place."

"What's the matter with staying with you?" Shi An shook his head and said: "Let's live with me, anyway, he was doing it for me at the beginning, I think now that I say let him live with me first, he probably won't refuse. "

It's not that you won't refuse, but you can't refuse.

The house in Yan Feilan's hometown has been demolished. Shi An sent Yan Feilan's grandma to a nursing home. The old man's physical and mental condition was not very good. When Shi An went there on the weekend, Grandma Yan had already lost weight. Skinny, pulling his hand and calling Feilan, Shi An couldn't bear to explain that he was not Yan Feilan, and chatted with the old man for more than ten minutes in the nursing home, and he didn't leave until the old man fell asleep.

Of course, if Yan Feilan doesn't want to live in Shi'an's house, it's not impossible to go back to his hometown and live in the old house that has been demolished and hasn't had time to build.

"Time shore."

"Huh?" Shi An was chewing the stir-fried seasonal vegetables. He didn't know what it was but it felt quite chewy. He planned to bring Yan Feilan over to try it when Yan Feilan was released from prison.

"I said, if you really can't..."

"Stop." Shi An interrupted Shen Qi's words.

From the day Shen Qi knew that Shi An liked Yan Feilan, the most Shen Qi said to Shi An was probably "I said, if you really can't do it, find someone else to like you."

It's not to blame for Shen Qi's meddling, as for Yan Feilan's virtue, if Shen Qi doesn't persuade Shi An, he will feel that he is committing crimes.

Back then, Yan Feilan had a good reputation in school. From the first to the third year of high school, from teachers to students, no one knew about Yan Feilan. How did he break discipline and gossip during fights, skipping classes, sleeping in class, and gossiping? There are also times when they resist the school in a seemingly obedient way. The school stipulates that boys' hair should not be too long. On the afternoon when this regulation was promulgated, Linshan No. [-] Middle School had an extra warrior who shaved his calipers.

At that time, Shi An was a good boy with excellent character and learning, and it should be said that he couldn't get along with a prickly person like Yan Feilan.

But those who couldn’t get together were assigned to class. Linshan No. [-] Middle School really shouldn’t be too fair. Mutual aid exists where good learning drives bad learning.

Just like that, Shi An sat at Yan Feilan's front table, and formed a learning mutual aid group with Yan Feilan.

Shen Qi found that all the love letters on the desk of Shi'an's dormitory that had only written one or two sentences before being crumpled into balls of paper and discarded all started with - Yan Feilan, hello, he exploded at that time, took it and wrote The first half of the love letter is still void. A high jumps off the table and rushes into the bathroom, catches Shi An who is taking a shower and asks what it is.

Shi An wiped off the foam all over his face, and said calmly, "Love letter."

"To whom?"

"Yan Feilan, you can't read?"

"Who wrote it?"

Shi An was confident: "I wrote it, can't I?"

Shen Qi faltered and said for a long time: "Shi An, it doesn't matter if you are that, but you really can't change someone's favorite."

Shi An wiped his face dry with a towel, stared at Shen Qi's face for a long time and finally asked: "Can we talk about this matter later?"

I didn't expect to wait for so many years. So many years have passed, and the love letter Shi An wrote back then has never been sent out. I know Shi An and Shen Qi are the only ones who like Yan Feilan, and Shi An still likes Yan Feilan. Feilan has no intention of changing her favorite person at all.

Shen Qi didn't mention the matter of Yan Feilan anymore, he knew that Shi An and Yan Feilan seemed to be very different, but in fact they were not so different, Yan Feilan lacked a muscle and Shi An had a muscle.

He changed the subject and asked, "What do you think about investing in a small restaurant together that I told you last time?"

Shen Qi said this more than once, but Shi An wanted to do it with Shen Qi, but now he is busy at the school and wants to get promoted, and the dean is looking for him every day, how dare he do it at this juncture Dedicate energy to doing side hustles.

"Let's talk about it," Shi An said, "Let's talk about it after a while when my school is done."

Shen Qi sighed: "Okay, let's talk about it after you've finished your work."

Shi An is not trying to shirk, he also thinks, but it is really impossible to do it now, even if he and Shen Qi have a good friendship, but after all, the two of them have to invest money together to start a business, and Shen Qi cannot be the only one who chooses a site for decoration and opening. With people staring at him, Tokigi planned to at least finish the promotion on the school side.

After dinner, Shen Qi said he wanted to find a place to have a drink, but was rejected by Shi An.

"Forget it, I have class early tomorrow morning, I will go home and go to bed first."

Shen Qi looked at Shi An and shook his head.

Shi An is really boring. He doesn’t have any hobbies. He will definitely not participate in the second social event. He may not come to some social events. So far, his life goal is to save enough pension money before retirement .

Watching Shi An drive the car out of the parking lot, Shen Qi sighed to himself: "Love is really fucking tormenting."

Shi An drove home without a single person, and turned around when he passed by the mall.

The mall was about to close, and the clerks at all stalls were busy cleaning up. Shi An, an out-of-date buyer, still received a lot of welcome voices when he was on the men's clothing floor.

He chose the shop of the brand he often wears and went in.

The clerk put down the mop in his hand to serve Tokigi.

"Hi sir, what do you need?"

Shi An glanced casually. He usually didn't pay much attention when buying clothes for himself. Usually, he would buy whatever the clerk recommended. Today was different. He looked around and walked in without waiting for the clerk's recommendation. , He picked up a black sweater.

The clerk immediately smiled and said: "Sir, you have a good eye. This dress is a new dress that just arrived at the store today. If you like it, I can wrap it up for you. I can also give you a [-]% discount here." Well, the second one is [-]% off."

Shi An flipped over the tag and glanced at the size of the piece in his hand.

He hasn't seen Yan Feilan for five years. He doesn't know whether Yan Feilan has gained weight or lost weight in the past five years. Now it is difficult to buy clothes. He compared himself and said to the clerk. : "Help me get one size bigger."

This dress should be just right for him, Yan Feilan is a little taller than him, no matter how fat or thin he is, he should be one size bigger for his height.

When checking out, the clerk asked again: "Sir, this new style now has a [-]% off event for the second one, do you really need it?"

Shi An's hand that scanned the QR code paused, and he asked: "Yes..." He still didn't ask the question, and he said: "No need, just this one."

Walking out of the shopping mall with the clothes in hand, Shi An was glad that he didn't have the brains to get sick just now and bought a white one as a couple's style, otherwise Yan Feilan probably wouldn't even want this clothes.

As soon as he entered the house, Shi An collapsed on the sofa. He didn't even turn on the lights, and the house was quiet. In fact, Shi An didn't like being alone at home. It was meaningless to be deserted, but he liked this kind of quiet Feel.

"It's about to get better."

Shi An curled up his lips, and the anticipation in his eyes was like the moonlight outside the window.
