Recapture

That's what he said, but Si Peinan has been out of his mind ever since he heard the word Huo Siwei. If he meets Huo Siwei... Si Peinan kicked his legs irritably, and the space in the driver's seat was cramped. Nan's own feet hurt.

"Hiss" he groaned in pain, a little absent-minded.On the way back to the apartment, the thoughts in his head came out one after another. He imagined so many situations based on the fact that Captain Hoth still liked him. What should I do if I don’t know each other?At the beginning, he really meant that he was tired of it... Now there should be someone else by his side, right?

Thinking of this, Si Peinan couldn't help becoming irritable. He slammed on the brakes, the car stopped suddenly, and suddenly hit the steering wheel. The pain made Si Peinan a little bit awake.He closed the window of the car, the wind was not very hot at night, he took the car back and forth to the community for the first time, and parked if there was a spare parking space.

He didn't want to get out of the car for a while, the sparks flickered on and off, Si Peinan's face was hidden in the night, and he fiddled with Chu-colored beads until the last one, 1, rolled down in his hand.

Si Peinan got out of the car, locked the car and went upstairs.

The voice-activated lights in the corridor have not been very effective recently, and they sometimes turn on and off, but it doesn't affect much.There were still sounds of children playing and making noise in the community, and Si Peinan's mood finally improved a lot.

The voice-activated light on the fourth floor was not broken. Si Peinan had just reached the middle of the stairs when the light at the door came on. There were only two households on the first floor facing each other.As soon as Si Peinan went upstairs, he saw the big red flower placed in the middle of the door, raised his eyebrows slightly, and smiled.This look was given to him by that little girl Nuonuo, but it's not yet Friday, Si Peinan didn't think about it, picked up the flowers, blew the ashes, and opened the door.

He had reservations about attending Yang Huaiqing's engagement banquet, and showed signs of fleeing.

Don't dare to ask Si Bei blatantly, this is also a person with a fine personality, and he can draw inferences from one instance to another. Thinking about being chased and asked Captain Huo Si, his teeth ached for a while. After looking through the phone address book, he finally felt that Zeze was more reliable. Spectrum.

"No, you have to go." Mu Zeze's delicate face like a star on the screen showed a bit of displeasure, and the coffee cup in his hand was pushed down and hit the table with a loud sound .

Si Peinan glanced out.

Mu Zeze glanced at him: "Don't worry, no one here heard us talking, it's in the private room." After that, he narrowed his eyes slightly and knocked on the table: "You mean you met that man five years ago? "

In fact, Si Peinan didn't take the initiative to tell him about this. The main reason is that Mu Zeze and Si Peinan have a really good relationship. Although there is a lot of age difference, the relationship is real.At that time, when he returned to City A, he could see anything was wrong, so he could only tell the truth. Fortunately, Mu Zeze was indeed a good listener.

Si Peinan chewed the word "encounter" in his mouth over and over again, knowing that he was still a thousand miles away from meeting, so he shook his head: "If you go to my cousin's engagement party, then you have to meet." He sighed, his face was not very good.

"But no, you have to go. Don't you know Huaiqing's temper? If you don't go, she will have to skin you." Mu Zeze looked at him, and Si Peinan felt chills when he said: "You If you can run to the first day of junior high school, can you still run to the fifteenth day? Is there a wedding later on?"

Si Peinan smacked his lips, seriously struggled with Mu Zeze's words, touched his chin, and said with a complex expression: "That's right, the wind and rain are about to come, and the wind and rain are coming, and they will come sooner or later."

What he said was free and easy, with the potential to break the jar, and he took a sip of coffee, almost unable to open his eyes: "Why is the three-point sugar still so bitter!"

Mu Zeze ignored him, picked up the coffee gracefully, took a sip, put it down slowly, and looked at Si Peinan suspiciously: "I don't think you really don't want to see him, You still like him, don't you?"

Seeing his friend, Si Peinan snorted coldly, and grinned at him with a cold gleam in his smile.

"Yes, we all know that." Mu Zeze stopped short, but still asked one more question: "I should know him if he appeared at the engagement banquet in Huaiqing. You never told me his name, did you?" Isn't it also because of this reason?" He narrowed his eyes slightly: "There are no good people around me."

Speaking of this, Si Peinan really thought about it carefully. In the middle and high school years, the circle of friends centered on Si Bei did not exist, and there was indeed no Huo Siwei, and he also said that he was in the United States for a while.I think I missed it, and I haven't mentioned it much now, especially since Si Bei has a temperament that can't keep his mouth shut.

He thought for a while, nodded, and said to Mu Zeze, "It's really not by your side."

"..." Mu Zeze gave him a cool look, Si Peinan hid his eyes, picked up the sugar cube beside him and added a few more grains to it.

"What's the difference between you and drinking sugar water?" Mu Zeze looked dignified, expressing disdain for Si Peinan's behavior.

"It's not the same, it's more expensive than sugar water." Si Peinan raised his eyelids and looked at him, expressing his disgust for his reserved state in front of him, drank the coffee with enough sugar in one gulp, picked up the table Wiping her mouth with the handkerchief on her face: "Okay, I still have to go, we will go together then."

"Aren't you going with your brother?" Mu Zeze looked at him in surprise.

Si Peinan smiled, brushed his thumb across his chin, and wiped off the leaked coffee: "Polite words, polite words."

Mu Zeze rolled his eyes angrily, knowing that the current Si Peinan was already different from the Si Peinan who hadn't entered the social work back then, but he didn't expect to become shameless.

Si Peinan patted him on the shoulder, trying to calm his anger, "I'll go with my family." He pointed two fingers at Zeze: "My family drives two cars, and Si Bei and I Together, my parents have a car. Anyway, it’s my mother’s family, and I can’t drive my broken Chevrolet.” The bright smile on his face didn’t reveal that he felt that he couldn’t drive a Chevrolet.

Mu Zeze thought for a moment, then nodded: "Okay."

On the day of Yang Huaiqing's engagement banquet, the sky was clear and the weather was breezy. Si Bei lived with Secretary Si and Chen Xiangjun, and the time was arranged together. Two cars came to go there.Si Peinan called them the night before and said that he might be late, so the family didn't wait for him and drove there first.

Si Peinan was actually very depressed, but that day Zeze said that it was just an engagement banquet, not a wedding banquet, so it was not likely that people came with such a complete set, which made him feel at ease.After returning home, Si Peinan pondered for a moment, and felt that it made sense, and then complained that he was still trapped in feelings, and after five years away, he still missed him, which he only found ironic.

So he fell asleep, tossing and turning on the bed, the sky was already bright outside the curtains.There was no activity on the phone, and the people who came to the engagement banquet should be busy with their parents, and my cousin probably didn't notice that he didn't go.

So he lay lazily on the bed for a while, until Yang Huaiqing sent him a message, and he didn't leave the thin quilt.

Si Bei drove over to pick him up, and it was rare that he didn't think he was troublesome. When driving along the street, he brought him breakfast and a drawer of steamed buns. As soon as Si Peinan got into the car, Si Bei pointed to the buns on the passenger , "I bought it for you."

"The sun is coming out from the west." Si Peinan paused for a moment with his hand pulling the car door, muttered and lifted the buns up.

Si Bei smiled, "I can't let you go there hungry, can I?"

Si Peinan nodded, but his eyes were still full of suspicion, and he always felt that something was wrong. From the corner of his eyes, Si Bei spat at him, waved his hands, and said with a smile: "I feel sorry for my brother once, can't it?"

"All right, all right, keep your eyes on the road and drive hard." Compared to exploring what Si Bei was thinking, he was more afraid of traffic safety accidents.

The place where Huaiqing got engaged was a small auditorium, which looked a bit old-fashioned. When Si Peinan first saw the auditorium, he remembered the old British movie where the priest presided over the wedding and said prayers to each other. There is such an auditorium with a very western style standing in the building, and Si Peinan doesn't know where his cousin found it.

But this is not the destination, the destination is the banquet hall next to it, where a group of flower baskets and a group photo of the two couples are framed in an agarwood frame, the cousin is nestled in the arms of the cousin-in-law, looking very warm Wan.

After Si Peinan got out of the car, he frowned and looked at the picture frame for a long time. Si Bei slapped Si Peinan on the shoulder, and tapped his chin on the front door: "It's time to go in."

He nodded, looked at his gentle cousin and sighed: "How can this look like a demon king?"

Si Bei didn't respond, and dragged him inside, seeing all the handsome men and women, Si Peinan sighed at his cousin's social skills from the bottom of his heart.He was too lazy to deal with these people, but luckily he had been to the engagement hotel where he was this time, and when Si Bei was not paying attention, he slipped past him into the crowd.

Taking advantage of the crowd, I found a secluded private room and waited for dinner with peace of mind.

Si Peinan was actually a little nervous. He was sure that Captain Huo Si didn't know he was here, because he had never revealed his identity at all. Thinking of this, Si Peinan couldn't help but sighed and pressed the button. Temple, he himself knew that he couldn't hide from it.

What makes Si Peinan even more emotional is that his cousin, who was only 20 years old and not yet high-spirited, frowned and taught Si Peinan loudly: "Marriage is the tomb of freedom. For freedom, love and life can be thrown away!" Sworn.Si Peinan was stunned for a moment, moved a small bench and sat under the steps to applaud her "swish, swish, swish".

Now thinking of the colorful flowers at the door, the cousin is still out of the ordinary after all, but as long as she is happy, that is a good thing.

------

The guests were all in the banquet hall of the hotel, and it was rare that someone was willing to sit alone in the deserted auditorium.

The interior has already been decorated romantically. The light coming in from the high windows is enough for Captain Hoss to look at the auditorium clearly. Even the top of the attic is surrounded by white roses. Captain Hoss withdrew his gaze and sat at the end of the auditorium. a row.

In the dark, you can still see the paved floor lamps at the front, and the background board surrounded by balloons and white roses.The old-fashioned auditorium, which has endured decades of wind and frost in appearance, has long since taken on a new look thanks to Chen Siqi's good intentions. A man who has struggled in the military camp since he was a child has such thoughts.

Because the engagement ceremony was at night, almost no one came.But Lieutenant Huos still heard the sound of quiet footsteps, and he didn't look up.After a while, the sound of footsteps was getting closer and closer. At almost the same moment, the lights were brightly lit, and the lights in the entire hall were under the control of one person.

Then a person sat down next to Captain Huo Si, "Are you lamenting that Si Qi has such thoughts?" It was Zhou Zhining, who accidentally saw Captain Huo Si coming over and followed him, anyway, Xu Sihang had already dealt with these exchanges. Like a duck to water.

Hearing what Zhou Zhining said, Lieutenant Huo Si really looked at this small auditorium seriously, and he saw Chen Siqi's handwriting as far as he could see, and he suddenly smiled: "I didn't know he was guarding the military area in Changbai, what? I also learned about design.”

Zhou Zhining smiled slightly, and said teasingly, "Finally, I finally got the beauty back."

"What about you, what about you and Xu Sihang?" Captain Huo Si turned his head to look at Zhou Zhining. He knew that he was cynical. He had girlfriends one after another before, but when Xu Sihang came back, he gave up and took someone abroad to get married.

"Me?" Zhou Zhining leaned his head on the back of the chair, looked at the clusters of white roses, and sniffed gently, as if he could smell the fragrance of white roses: "I have always loved him."

Captain Huo Si looked away, nodded, and would not ask any more unnecessary questions, that was their story, not him and Si Peinan.

"I wish you happiness." Captain Huos said.

After saying this, Captain Huo Si felt dazed even himself, thinking that at some point, he had heard someone bless him in this way.Captain Hoss remained silent, and calmly lowered his hand to caress the wooden bench.

"I said why I didn't find you, but you are so good at hiding. If you don't know, you think you forgot to come to my engagement banquet." The female voice was a little angry, and mixed with some elements of lessons. As soon as Si Peinan raised his head, the center of his eyebrows fell under Yang Huaiqing's fingers, and he poked it lightly, the center of his eyebrows was still warm.

Si Peinan spread his hands helplessly, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth: "I don't know how to play cards."

"Can't play cards and chat? Your brother-in-law's friends are all outstanding young talents. It's good to know more." Yang Huaiqing was wearing a white dress, with his hair tied behind his head, and he parted with two porcelain-white hairpins. Get up, not to mention how beautiful it is.

But she didn't care about it at all, she sat down across from him, grabbed a handful of pistachios from the glass plate in front of him, and began to nibble indistinctly.

Looking at his sister, Si Peinan couldn't say a word, sat next to him, poured her a cup of hot tea, and pushed it in front of her: "Don't choke."

Yang Huaiqing glanced at the cup, and then at Si Peinan: "Little heartless, you still have a little conscience."

"I think Mu Zeze is already hanging out with your brother, why don't you go and have a look?" Yang Huaiqing leaned forward and looked at Si Peinan with a steely look: "It's a pity that you have such a good-looking face. You can let other people know that there are such beautiful people in our Si family. However, there are not many female family members, and most of them are wives and wives. There are too few juniors, so it is difficult to introduce them to you." Sentence after sentence, Si Peinan didn't have the slightest chance to reply.

Sure enough, even if she was going to get married, her cousin still had the same temperament as before.

Si Peinan's brows twitched when he heard this, and he said, "I can't hold my arm. I'm afraid of being beaten in a sack, and I'm even more afraid that it will be my future brother-in-law." While Yang Huaiqing was still peeling the pistachios in his hand, He continued: "Don't be like my mother, staring at my marriage every day. An engagement banquet under the hands of the two of you can become my blind date."

Seeing Si Peinan say these words in a calm manner, Yang Huaiqing couldn't hold back a "puchi" laugh.

Si Peinan frowned, and handed her a piece of paper: "Shu Cha, manners, pay attention to manners."

"Well, I won't be poor here with you, I have to go find your brother-in-law." When mentioning Si Peinan's brother-in-law, a rare blush flew across his face, Si Peinan raised his eyebrows, "Walk slowly deliver."

Before going out for two steps, she ran back with her skirt in hand, lifted the curtain and warned Si Peinan severely: "Don't keep hiding by yourself!"

Si Peinan touched the tip of his nose guiltily, "I know, I know."

Si Peinan finally came out, leaned out, and stepped out of the private room as if stepping into a new world.Everyone was happy, with a goblet in their hand containing a small bottle of champagne.

Si Peinan looked around, there were not many people in the hall now, there was also a male and female guest lounge, some of them went to the lounge to rest and chat, and there were social butterflies like Si Bei. Instead of parents' work, here to socialize.

It was already dusk outside, Si Peinan had a good rest today, and he was in high spirits now, what he didn't expect was that he didn't meet Captain Huo Si all day.He lowered his head to ponder, and felt that Mu Zeze, the crow's mouth, had finally judged correctly this time. He felt a little relieved, but also a little empty and lost. He frowned, but didn't show his emotion.

"Pei Nan!" The female voice was not as fierce as before, but more charming. When he lowered his head in thought, someone called out, and the voice was several meters away.He turned his head in a daze, and saw Cousin Huaiqing holding a man's arm and waving at him.

Si Peinan chuckled, and his steps became brisk. Si Bei and Ze Ze happened to be together, and Chen Xiangjun couldn't hide the joy on his face while holding Si Bei's arm.

"I don't know where you've been all day, come and see your brother-in-law." Chen Xiangjun looked at Si Peinan reproachfully, and as soon as he walked over, he took Si Peinan to greet Yang Huaiqing's prospective fiancé.

Si Bei also urged behind him, Si Peinan raised his eyebrows, it was rare for the mother and son to work together not to hate him.

Only then did Si Peinan turn his attention to his brother-in-law. Looking at the photos, he felt familiar. When he saw the real person, Si Peinan was stunned for a moment. This man looked very familiar. He had definitely seen him before, but he couldn't remember where.

He smiled at Chen Siqi and stretched out a hand: "Hi, I'm Si Peinan, Yang Huaiqing's cousin."

"How do you introduce yourself to be so official, what about your prestige in front of me?" Yang Huaiqing smiled and winked at Si Peinan, relying on the person he likes by his side, he blatantly bullied Si Peinan.

"I've never been so majestic." Si Peinan muttered in a low voice, and smiled at his brother-in-law again.

But Chen Siqi on the opposite side looked unnatural after seeing Si Peinan, he shook hands with Si Peinan and soon let go, Si Peinan was stunned for a moment and took it back.Dealing with strangers is really not his strong point. Although it is his cousin who has never met, Si Peinan turned around to talk to Si Bei, when he heard his cousin's voice from behind.

Chen Siqi's voice was deep, and even someone as inert as Si Peinan could hear that his tone was not friendly, "I said that when I mentioned the Si family, only Sibei was known. It turned out that there was another Sinan who was well hidden." He said With a chuckle, Si Peinan paused, and in a flash, he remembered, on the Changbai thick snow, next to the green military jeep.

Si Peinan turned around and carefully looked at the man's eyebrows. He was sure that it was Captain Huo Si's best friend.His thoughts suddenly became clear. It turned out that this brother-in-law had liked his cousin for many years, so Si Peinan really smiled, and nodded and smiled at the brother-in-law who broke out halfway: "Brother-in-law, I am Peinan."

Yang Huaiqing also pinched Chen Siqi's arm lightly, and shook his hand with a coquettish tone: "My cousin's name is Si Peinan, not Si Nan, why are your ears so bad."

"Really?" Facing Yang Huaiqing, Chen Siqi showed no emotion at all, and reached out to brush her messy hair behind her ears.

The pair of eyes looking at Si Peinan were still not very friendly, but fortunately Chen Xiangjun didn't notice the undercurrent surging in it.Si Peinan's hands in his pockets were clenched into fists due to nervousness, and the smile on his face was calm and calm.

Mu Zeze had a guess in his heart, thinking that Si Peinan probably met Chen Siqi before, and secretly regretted that he didn't ask Si Peinan more that day.Seeing his drooping eyebrows, his heart raced, and he gently brought Si Peinan to his side, secretly wishing that it wasn't a sibling rivalry.

Chen Siqi and Mu Zeze have always been on good terms. Mu Zeze knows exactly who he is. If he misheard and called the wrong name, it is clearly nonsense. The poor Si Peinan was dragged by Mu Zeze The clothes whispered to his ears: "How did you know Chen Siqi when you stepped on the horse, and what happened to Sinan?"

Si Peinan was silent and did not speak, his face was still calm and breezy.

Seeing that his expression didn't change, Mu Zeze tugged at his shirt sleeves tightly, and muttered, "Don't leave today, explain it to me." He made up his mind to clarify this matter. It didn't take long for the absurd thought to arise, and it was smashed by someone in the next second. I watched it for an unknown amount of time. The man was dressed in casual clothes and looked lazy. The side swayed slowly.

Mu Zeze and Si Peinan turned their backs to them and couldn't see them. Chen Xiangjun still pulled Yang Huaiqing to talk, and they didn't pay attention.

After Chen Siqi saw Captain Huo Siqi, he stood still, "Si Qi—" Captain Huo Siqi seemed to see the person next to him, moved forward a few steps, and stood side by side with Si Peinan Passed by, then stood in front of Si Peinan's mother, bent slightly, and called out with a smile: "Hello, Auntie."

Si Peinan seemed to be able to smell the faint scent of grass and trees when he walked by, which was clear and clean.In other words, when he called Chen Siqi by name, he subconsciously wanted to turn around, he always felt that he should not be called "Siqi" but "Sinan".

He pinched his soft flesh under his clothes with his hands, and stared blankly at the man in front of him who greeted his mother politely.Compared with five years ago, he has become a bit more stable, and even his emotions have been restrained so that it is impossible to break through.

Mu Zeze felt Si Peinan's nervousness for a moment, subconsciously frowned and wanted to ask him what's wrong, but the next moment Captain Huo Si turned around and extended a hand to him, to be precise, it was for Si Peinan. Pei Nan stretched out a hand, but Mu Zeze felt that Si Pei Nan was trembling slightly.

"Hello, I'm Captain Huo Si." The smile on his face was full of sincerity, the exquisite and excessive face that Si Peinan had painted with his hands day and night was a bit more beautiful than Mu Zeze beside him, It turned out that the hostility between his brows had already been subdued to his bones, he smiled, as if he had never seen Si Peinan before.

Seeing the hand stretched out in front of him, Si Peinan raised his head suddenly, and bumped into Captain Huo Si's deep eyes.

He also pretended to be calm, as if he had never seen him before. With a standard and official smile on his face, he nodded and extended his hands to Captain Huoss. He clasped his hands together, and separated them after a few seconds.

Si Peinan's voice was calm and clear, and he also smiled and looked at Captain Huo Si: "Hello, Si Peinan."

Si Bei could see Si Peinan's anomaly. Although he was still courteous, he stepped in and stopped Si Peinan behind him, and smiled at Captain Huo Si: "Hello, I'm Si Bei."

"He's my own brother, Si Peinan."

The revolving lantern began to play in Lieutenant Huo Si's mind, frame by frame, until the day when he first met Liu Zhiwen. Lieutenant Huo Si smiled wantonly and flamboyantly, stopped in front of Si Peinan unceremoniously, and introduced Liu Zhiwen. road:"

"This is my own brother, Huosnan."

It turns out that Huo Sinan is not Huo Sinan, Huo Sinan is Si Peinan.

Captain Huo Si is not Huo Si Nan's younger brother, Si Bei is.

Captain Huo Si smiled and took a step back, but his eyes glanced at Si Peinan inadvertently: "It's been a few years since we left, and I miss you so much."

Si Peinan, who was blocked by Si Bei, was even more stiff, his nose was sore, he bit the tip of his tongue and forced tears back, his mouth was full of rust, and his body froze in place, motionless.The reunion scenes he had imagined all ended in the most tragic ending, but he forgot that five years had passed, which was enough to make a bad-tempered person low-key and introverted.

"Hahahahahahaha" Yang Huaiqing didn't know about the quarrel between them, but thought Captain Huo Si was very funny today, she stretched her neck and looked at Captain Huo Si, "Aren't you stupid, I just met Si Qi a few days ago, Although it is true that he came back from Changbai not long ago, it is true that he has not seen him for many years." Yang Huaiqing's laughter was bright and clear, with a rare charm.

"Hey, don't you understand?" Zhou Zhining, who was behind Lieutenant Huo Si, picked up the conversation, and said with a smile, "If you don't see Si Qi every day, it's like three autumns. Of course, if you don't see Si Qi for a few days, it will be years. If you want me to say that Si Qi The relationship with Si Qi is real." There was teasing in his words, which immediately heated up the atmosphere.

"Don't do this, Zhining!" Zeze also laughed, "Who doesn't know that Chen Siqi has liked Huaiqing since he was a child?"

Everyone laughed loudly, and one after another they joked about the couple standing together arm in arm.

Si Peinan also collided with Captain Huo Si in this chaotic atmosphere, with a lazy and dignified look, always smiling at the corner of Si Peinan's mouth, except for Wei Huo Si, only Captain Huo Si .

Si Peinan was distracted for a moment.

The author says:

Captain Hoss: It's summer again, and I miss you too.

Si Peinan: I still want to have an ending with you.
