you restrain yourself

It was getting late, they went to eat hot pot, there were not many people in the restaurant, they occupied a semi-open round table, the shape of the restaurant was similar to a birdcage, and there was a fence around the table, just to gather people together Inside, only a gap for serving is left.

Ji Yuan sat in the middle, and Duan Zhi and Ji Shuyan faced each other.

Ji Shuyan ate red bean paste bread before coming to the show. He wasn't particularly hungry, so he kept helping Duan Zhi and Ji Yuan cook meat, listening to their chats about school competitions, annoying dormitory supervisors, and sponsorship from the student union. Have relish.

He himself has been away from university for many years, and when he was in school, he had a dull temper. Except for a few people in the dormitory, he was not very familiar with everyone in his class, so naturally he was not as rich as Ji Yuan and Duan Zhi.

Duan Zhi and Ji Yuanzheng said that the department wanted to hold a dance party, and they were asking for opinions from the students. When they looked up, they saw Ji Shuyan propping his head with one hand, looking at them softly.

Ji Yuan actually doesn't like to participate in activities, but he and Duan Zhi belong to the student union, so he had to go. He turned his head and asked Ji Shuyan, "Uncle, when you were in school, was the school so keen on holding dances? Our department insisted on being a matchmaker, every now and then Just think of something to do."

Fortunately, it is all voluntary, and it is optional to participate or not.

Ji Shuyan thought for a while, "It really happened, both freshman and senior year, but I didn't know anyone well when I first entered the school, so I sat for most of the time."

Ji Yuan looked at his uncle curiously, "You haven't danced a single dance, shouldn't everyone rush to find you?"

In Ji Yuan's heart, his uncle is the most popular male god ceiling, how could anyone not like him.

"It's not that I didn't dance at all," Ji Shuyan recalled. "A girl invited me when the show was about to end, but I couldn't dance well and always stepped on her feet."

Ji Yuan laughed, and asked gossipingly, "Is she good-looking? Is she your future girlfriend?"

Duan Zhi also raised his eyes.

"No, I can't even remember what she looked like. After all, it was more than ten years ago." Ji Shuyan shook his head, his eyes were a little far away, "I only remember that she was wearing a goose yellow dress and her hair very long."

At that time, he was only 19 years old, a little younger than Duan Zhi and Ji Yuan now, he didn't like to talk all day long, and always spent time in the library with books in his arms.

He noticed that Duan Zhi had been looking at him, tilted his head and asked, "What's wrong, did I get something on my face?"

Duan Zhi withdrew his gaze, "No."

He scalded half a plate of shrimp slippery in the hot pot, watched the white balls float up one by one, and said in a low voice, "I was just thinking about what you look like when you are 19 years old."

He has been at Ji's house so many times, but he has never seen a photo of Ji Shuyan when he was young, only a photo of Ji Shuyan and Ji Yuan's family together.

But he was very curious in his heart, and wanted to know what Ji Shuyan looked like when he was young. He should be very similar to the campus hero in the movie, wearing a white shirt, with cool and handsome eyes, walking down the long aisle with a book in his arms, with green shade behind him Like the sea, the summer is long.

Ji Shuyan lacked interest, "What's there to think about, it's the same as now, with one nose, two eyes, and one mouth."

With this description, Duan Zhi couldn't help laughing.

Ji Yuan next to him slapped his thigh, "Look, I have it here, I saved a base map."

He ate a beef ball, leaned over to flip through the photo for Duan Zhi, "Because that photo is so beautiful, I saved it in the online disk."

It didn't take long for him to turn it out and hand it under Duan Zhi's eyes.

Because of the long time, the pixels of the photo are very unclear. Ji Shuyan in the photo is less than [-] years old, wearing a black suit, far younger than now, with a fair face, black hair and red lips, sitting in a well-behaved manner. Under the blooming flower tree, the person who took the photo was probably standing opposite him. He raised his eyes slightly, it was spring, and the flowers were blooming and birds were singing. He was wrapped in the spring breeze, which was far more intoxicating than this spring.

Ji Shuyan also glanced at it, and it took him a long time to remember when it was. He said to Ji Yuan, "It seems to be our school visit day, and your mother came to take pictures for me."

Ji Yuan was startled, then smiled, "I know."

His mother is very fond of taking pictures, and most of the photos left at home were taken when his mother was around.

Duan Zhi was reluctant to look away from the photo.

This turned out to be 19-year-old Ji Shuyan.

It was Ji Shuyan when he was a teenager that he had never participated in, or even had no chance to meet.

He forced himself to look away.

"It's beautiful," he whispered, "it's just colder than it looks now."

After showing off his uncle, Ji Yuan put it away contentedly, "That's right, do you know what Bingshan school grass is, that's my uncle."

Ji Shuyan was speechless, what a cliche name, he stuffed a shrimp into Ji Yuan's mouth, "Shut up, eat yours."

An hour later, when the dinner was over, the restaurant finally delivered a piece of ice cream to each person. There were three different flavors. What Ji Shuyan got was cranberry, which he didn't like very much. Hand, without any explanation, took his ice cream away.

Duan Zhi stuffed his macadamia nut flavor to Ji Shuyan, "I'll trade it with you."

Ji Shuyan was quite surprised, "Don't you like this?"

Duan Zhi said "hmm", and dug a mouthful of cranberry ice cream into his mouth, Ji Shuyan didn't suspect anything, and ate macadamia nuts in a good mood, which was his favorite flavor.

Only Ji Yuan next to him felt that something was wrong, didn't Duan Zhi dislike dried fruit? .

But his attention was quickly diverted. Ji Shuyan was asking them about the National Day holiday. It was rare for him to have a National Day holiday this year, and he wanted to take Ji Yuan out for a long-lost trip.

"It's still seven days," Ji Yuan said with ice cream stuffed in his mouth, his teeth froze, and his speech was a little vague, "But in fact, we let it go at No. 30."

Ji Shuyan nodded, he started his vacation on the [-]nd.

He casually asked Duan Zhi next to him, "What about you, will you go home during the holidays?"

He remembered that Duan Zhi's house was quite close to them, and he went back for the National Day last year.

Duan Zhi shook his head, "No more."

"Then are you going to go out to play too?"

"No," Duan Zhi shook his head, and he didn't want to talk too much, so he smiled at Ji Shuyan, "Maybe I have a part-time job in the dormitory, and I'm rushing to develop a social app recently."

Ji Shuyan was a little strange, and wanted to ask something, but Ji Yuan secretly squeezed his hand.

He was startled, and then he understood and didn't speak.

After dinner, Ji Shuyan sent Duan Zhi back to school first, and then brought Ji Yuan back home.

Duan Zhi stood at the gate of the university and waved at them, then turned and walked towards the campus.

Ji Shuyan looked at Duan Zhi's back, walking alone under the dim light, his figure was stretched tall and thin by the street lights, and he looked a little lonely.

Although he knew it was just an illusion.

He actually invited Duan Zhi and Ji Yuan to live in his house just now, but Duan Zhi refused with a smile.

Duan Zhi said, "I can't bother you every time, I also need to be more sensible."

This is true, Ji Shuyan always believed that people should keep some sense of proportion and leeway when interacting with others, but he was not used to Duan Zhi being so "knowledgeable about the general situation".

On the way back, Ji Yuan secretly said to him, "Uncle, don't ask Brother Duan about his family next time."

Ji Shuyan drove the car, "What's wrong?"

"Brother Duan seems to have quarreled with the family, it was serious." Ji Yuan frowned, feeling a little distressed, "We don't know what happened, so we didn't dare to ask. Brother Duan should have a good relationship with the family. But once I heard him call, the family seemed to want to sever ties with him."

Ji Shuyan frowned. As a parent who loves his children, he really couldn't think of what would happen before he would sever ties with his children.

But he also knows that everyone's family is different.

Ji Yuan continued, "Anyway, brother Duan is not in a good mood after he came to school. Although he is still laughing and joking with us and takes good care of us, he just keeps things in his heart and never puts them on the surface."

Ji Yuan sighed, and if you ask him to say, Duan Zhi is a typical lion character, he acts calmly when it comes to big things, he handles it by himself, and when others ask him for help, he will lend a helping hand, which is very inspiring A character with a sense of security and dependence, so although it seems to be loose and sloppy, the girls who like him continue to follow suit.

Ji Shuyan said "Yes", "Understood."

Before his eyes, when he was eating just now, when he mentioned going home on National Day, although Duan Zhi was smiling, there was a flash of loneliness in his eyes, but he quickly covered it up.
