Listening to the adults, you come and go, Lin Yansheng only lowered his head and ate the small dishes in front of him, and did not speak, until he heard his father say

When the word "family" was three words, her face turned red, and she quickly glanced at Mu Yi and saw that he was also smiling at herself.

"By the way, you have to be kind to Yan Sheng in the future, if you dare to bully Yan Sheng, I will beat you to death-" Mu Yukai said to his son, deliberately ruthless.

Mu Yi pursed his lips helplessly and responded. At this time, Lin Yanhuan suddenly said: "Uncle, it's time to order, don't talk patronizingly." ”

"Yes, yes, order, order, waiter!" Mu Yukai turned his head and shouted, rubbing his hands and smiling innocently.

Mu Yi shrugged his shoulders at Lin Yanhuan, and grimaced at Lin Yansheng again, his stomach was hot, all of which were from the glass of wine just now, and it seemed that he was going to have diarrhea again.

His instinct was right, and before the meal was finished, he couldn't stand it a little and planned to go out to buy stomach medicine to eat.

Lin Yansheng saw that his expression was wrong, so he hurriedly stood up, walked next to him and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

"Stomach hurts. Mu Yi made a bitter face, covered his stomach, and said,

"I'm going to buy some medicine. ”

"Sit down, I'll buy it. Lin Yansheng was about to leave as he spoke, but Mu Yi grabbed his arm. He whispered, "I'll go with you, go out and breathe, and let them talk." Lin Yansheng couldn't help laughing, just one meal, Mu Yi's old bottom was exposed by Mu Yukai, if he didn't go out again, he might even say such a thing as wetting the bed when he was a child.

She helped Mu Yi to stand up, and the sharp-eyed adults had already seen it and asked what was wrong. Hearing that Mu Yi's stomach hurt, Lin Shengming and his wife hurriedly stood up and said, "Is it serious?" ”

"It's okay, uncle and aunt, I'm sick with an old problem, you eat, I'll go buy some stomach medicine and eat it." Mu Yi hurriedly said, he patted his father's shoulder, Mu Yukai was still a little worried, but when he heard his son say this, he put his heart at ease and said with a smile: "It's okay, Xiao Yi said it's okay, it's okay, it hurts so much that he can bear it?" Mu Yi gritted his teeth, and before leaving, he had to reveal his old bottom, his father was really too much.

He clenched his fists, turned and strode outside, not looking at all like a man with a stomachache.

"I'll go with me. Lin Yanhuan stood up, said goodbye to Mu Yukai and his wife, and turned around and walked out.

The three of them walked side by side, and the cold air outside greeted them, brushing on Mu Yi's hot face, and the discomfort suddenly disappeared.

Lin Yanhuan looked sideways at Mu Yi's flushed face, frowned and asked, "You have such a bad amount of alcohol, that's it after a drink?"

"Try it, it's dozens of degrees of liquor!" Mu Yi called, putting a pair of ice hands on his face to cool down,

"Never drink again. Lin Yansheng smiled and said, "I think you are the same as Uncle Mu, and you may also be a wine jar in the future." ”

"Just him, he is a little thin like a monkey, and if he wants to be a wine jar, he will inevitably die early. Lin Yanhuan raised the corner of his mouth and sneered.

"Yan Huan, what are you talking about, it's unlucky. Lin Yansheng hurriedly chirped, she turned her head to Mu Yi and said,

"Don't listen to him. ”

"If I had to care, I would have him off a long time ago. Mu Yi said, snorted, and saw a pharmacy on the side of the road, so he quickened his pace.

He took Lin Yansheng's hand and quickly left Lin Yanhuan behind. Lin Yanhuan didn't care, he stopped on the side of the road and waited for them, and lit a cigarette by the way.

After buying the medicine, Lin Yansheng saw his younger brother smoking, and immediately frowned,

"Yan Huan, how did you learn to smoke? This is not a good problem, let's quit quickly. Lin Yanhuan spit out a puff of cigarette disapprovingly and didn't speak.

Mu Yi snorted, covered his stomach and said, "Smoking, if you smoke, you will inevitably die early." Lin Yanhuan threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stepped on it, and said coldly: "I won't give you a chance to watch this good show, I'll quit smoking." Lin Yansheng watched the two bickering, rolled his eyes towards the sky, and shook his head helplessly.

She looked around and saw a café on the side of the road, so she turned back and said, "Let's go there, there's hot water in there, and you just took the medicine." Mu Yi nodded obediently, took Lin Yansheng's hand again, left Lin Yanhuan behind, and the two walked forward shoulder to shoulder.

Lin Yanhuan was accustomed to the scene in front of him, he wrapped his clothes tightly, followed the two of them, and entered the café one after the other.

When he was looking at the menu and pondering what to drink, he suddenly heard Mu Yi ask in surprise: "Tao Qirui, why are you here?" He looked up and saw a thin little girl standing in the counter, wearing an apron, wiping a cup with a rag in her hand, hearing Mu Yi's voice, she raised her head in surprise, her face suddenly turned red, showing an expression of shame and shock, it seemed that she didn't expect to meet them here, which made her feel ashamed and ashamed.

"I, I—" she said dumbfounded, looking a little confused.

"What a coincidence, I didn't expect to meet you here. Lin Yansheng didn't care, smiled gently, and said,

"We happened to be eating around here, and I wanted a cup of black coffee, no sugar or milk, thank you. Tao Qirui hurriedly agreed, lowered her head and operated on the computer screen.

Mu Yi asked for a cup of hot water and walked inside, found a seat and sat down, Tao Qirui kept raising her head, carefully observing Mu Yi's movements and expressions, but unfortunately she didn't see anything.

Lin Yanhuan waited for his sister to walk away before standing in front of the cashier to order. He looked at Tao Qirui coldly, suddenly smiled, and said, "Give me a glass of hot milk." ”

"Good. Tao Qirui didn't raise her head, hurriedly placed an order and handed over a receipt. Her face was as red as the red paper packaging of the cup, Lin Yanhuan glanced at her, turned around and walked in the direction of Mu Yi and his sister, he had a mocking smile on his face, and he didn't know who he was laughing at.

As he sat down beside them, he heard his sister say, "Hurry up and take your medicine." Lin Yanhuan put the hot milk in front of Mu Yi and said, "Drink a cup of hot milk, it's good for your stomach." Mu Yi glanced at him and asked in a fuss, "You haven't poisoned it, are you?" Lin Yanhuan sneered, leaned back on the sofa, and looked out with his arms folded.

Lin Yansheng patted Mu Yi and said, "Hurry up and take medicine, there are so many words." ”

"Okay. Mu Yi took out the pill and swallowed it. Over his shoulder, Lin Yansheng saw Tao Qirui standing behind the counter looking at them worriedly, but she didn't say anything, looked away, and discussed other topics with her brother and Mu Yi.

This chance meeting passed so salty, Mu Yi didn't talk to her about Tao Qirui, when she got home, Lin Yansheng opened WeChat, I wanted to see how Tao Qirui was doing, but it turned out that she had deleted her friends.

Lin Yansheng smiled bitterly, turned off his phone, sighed, and shook his head again. It seems that they are just the fate of meeting in Pingshui, Lin Yansheng originally wanted to persuade Tao Qirui and help her untie the knot, but if he thought so, the other party would not think so.

Lin Yansheng has never felt that there is no contradiction that cannot be resolved, people's hearts are made of meat, who will live with hostility towards others all the time?

But this may also be just the idea that she has been lonely for too long, for Lin Yansheng, friendship is a very distant thing but she longs for it, in the time of contact with Tao Qirui, there was a moment when she wanted to be friends with her.

But there is a Mu Yi between them, and as long as they have a conflict on this issue, they will never be friends.

Even if he understood this truth, Lin Yansheng still decided to go to Tao Qirui the next day. Her attentiveness made her aware of Tao Qirui's surprise and shame, and the romantic thoughts in her heart made her want to make up for this accidental mistake, even if it had nothing to do with her.

She rejected Mu Yi's offer to come and see her, and took a taxi to the coffee shop where Tao Qirui worked.

Along the way, she pondered in her heart the rhetoric when they met, imagining the scene when the two met, maybe after a conversation, Tao Qirui could put aside her prejudices, and the two might be good friends.

When I arrived at the coffee shop, the shop had just opened, and there was no business inside. Lin Yansheng walked in, and at a glance, he saw Tao Qirui bending over to wipe the glass, her nose was red from the cold, and she kept snorting.

Lin Yansheng hesitated for a moment, turned around and walked out again, and when he came back, he was already carrying a bag of cold medicine in his hand.

With a smile and confidence, she walked up to Tao Qirui and said, "Good afternoon." Tao Qirui was stunned, looked up and saw that it was Lin Yansheng, her brows suddenly furrowed, she lowered her head and continued to wipe the glass, but she didn't hear it.

"Tao Qirui?" Lin Yansheng saw that she ignored herself, shouted again, handed the medicine in her hand to her, and said with a smile,

"Do you have a cold? I bought you medicine. Tao Qirui stopped what she was doing, stood up straight, looked at Lin Yansheng coldly, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"Huh?" Lin Yan looked at her puzzled.

"What do you mean by asking?" Tao Qirui frowned and asked again. Lin Yansheng put the medicine on the table next to him, hesitated, and said, "Yesterday, we really ate around here, and then Mu Yi's stomach hurts, so I came here to ......."

"Well, then what?" Tao Qirui crossed her arms and looked at her coldly. Lin Yansheng paused for a moment, suddenly didn't know what to say, she lowered her head, and regretted her decision to come here a little.

"I know you guys had dinner around here yesterday, and then what are you doing today?" Tao Qirui asked, looking at Lin Yansheng's appearance and feeling a little ridiculous.

"That's right. Lin Yansheng decided to tell the truth,

"I'm afraid that you suddenly ran into Mu Yi yesterday and felt a little embarrassed, so I came today to talk to you-"

"What are you talking about?" Tao Qirui threw the rag on the table, grabbed Lin Yansheng's arm and walked out, she didn't want her colleagues to hear the conversation between them.

The air outside was cold and clear, and her head was about to explode when the cold wind blew.

"Lin Yansheng, do you think I'm pitiful, so you have to sympathize with me?"

"It's not. Lin Yansheng, who has always been calm and calm, became a little flustered in front of Tao Qirui at this moment, under Tao Qirui's questioning, she suddenly felt that she was doing this very ridiculously, yes, if she really wanted to say a reason to come here, she couldn't say a word, and she couldn't make any sense in her heart, maybe it was really like Tao Qirui said, she just came to sympathize with her, but Lin Yansheng swore that she had never thought of sympathizing with Tao Qirui in her heart.

"What's that?" Tao Qirui threw away Lin Yansheng's hand and sneered,

"I know, Mu Yi won't like me, and he doesn't want to be friends with me, I don't even have the opportunity to accompany him, I recognize this reality, I'm staying away from you, isn't that enough?

"I didn't want you to do anything. Lin Yansheng argued,

"Besides, I didn't say that—I didn't say you to stay away from us. Tao Qirui looked at Lin Yansheng in disbelief,

"What do you mean by that?" Lin Yansheng looked at Tao Qirui, and he didn't know what he was talking about.

She shook her head and looked down.

"What do you mean—" Tao Qirui tilted her head and looked at her,

"Let me go back to Mu Yi, and then watch you show affection as before, and then I feel uncomfortable, right?"

"I didn't say that. Lin Yansheng hurriedly said,

"That's not what I meant. ”

"I really don't understand. Tao Qirui said,

"I don't understand why you're here, and I don't understand what you mean by saying these things to me, I'm just like you're not here today, you go, I still have to go to work. With that, she turned and walked towards the store, walking a little slowly.

"Tao Qirui, I mean, we can have a good chat, solve the conflict between us, maybe we can be friends!" Lin Yansheng hurriedly turned around and said, she looked at Tao Qirui's back a little nervously, just like she used to look at the backs of those female friends.

"Don't tease me!" Tao Qirui turned around, her face was a little abnormal,

"What is the contradiction between us? Why should I be friends with you? Lin Yansheng, do you think it's particularly fun to tease me? If you think it's so fun, you go to find someone else, my time is very precious, and I don't want to play with you! Also, do you think that as long as you put down your body and get close to others, others will pay to be friends with you wholeheartedly, right? Who do you think you are, the emperor Laozi? Delicate princess? Are you a human being, you are easy to get hurt, and others are not easy to get hurt? Just because I haven't been close to you doesn't mean I don't know you, I know how you were in the class, don't you think you're a bit hypocritical? You just came to sympathize with me, pity me, and say that you want to have a good chat with me, I thank you for this kindness, but between us, there is really nothing to talk about. Tao Qirui sneered, she regretted that she actually wanted to get close to Lin Yansheng for Mu Yi's sake, this idea was too ridiculous, fortunately, she gave up in time, otherwise she would never get any benefit from this kind of person.

Lin Yansheng was scolded by Tao Qirui, and immediately stayed in place. From childhood to adulthood, she carefully kept her distance from anyone, treated others in the most appropriate way she felt, measured her own efforts and rewards to others, and this way gave her the best safe distance, so no one would have any opinions about her, nor would she give her any opinions in person.

Of course, this also led to the fact that she didn't have any true friends since she was a child, and only Mu Yi and her younger brother have been with her until now.

Today, she finally mustered up the courage to express her kindness to Tao Qirui, but was reprimanded by Tao Qirui.

She didn't expect it to be like this, and she couldn't react for a while. However, she didn't want to give up, and after being reprimanded, she still found a seat and sat down, planning to wait for Tao Qirui to have a good chat when she was free.

Somehow, she didn't get angry, and felt that what Tao Qirui said made sense. Maybe she was too defensive of others, even Mu Yi, although she grew up with him, after knowing his thoughts, she couldn't help but test him before she made up her mind to be with him.

The pace of this world is so fast, people will not wait for someone forever, thinking of this, Lin Yansheng seems to suddenly understand why those girls are not willing to be friends with him in the end, they are indeed very good to themselves, but what they have done for them, now that I think about it, it seems that there are not much.

Lin Yansheng held his cheeks and watched Tao Qirui busy in front of the counter. Tao Qirui didn't look at her, as if she didn't exist, after sitting for a long time, Lin Yansheng felt a little bored, so he looked out the window.

There are people coming and going on the street outside, couples holding hands, laughing and playing families, and girls getting together to go shopping.

Lin Yansheng looked at those girls, with a look of envy on her face, how she wished that she also had such a friend by her side, who could know her heart and mind and play with each other.

It is a completely different relationship from family and love, and that kind of relationship can make people feel that life is full and there is a real future.

Lin Yansheng turned his gaze back to Tao Qirui, thinking to himself, he had hoped to get such a friendship since he was a child, but what did he have to do to get it?

How do you get along with each other to achieve a balance that satisfies both yourself and others?

Lin Yansheng sat for an afternoon, and Tao Qirui was busy all afternoon. In the evening, Tao Qirui changed her apron and finally prepared to leave.

Her face was flushed, and her whole person looked a little haggard, so she hurriedly put on her coat and walked briskly outside.

Lin Yansheng hurriedly stood up and followed her outside. Walking through the crowded pedestrian street, the two soon came to the dilapidated alley.

All of a sudden, there were fewer people, and the surrounding environment became deserted. Tao Qirui slowed down and walked forward slowly, pausing from time to time.

Lin Yansheng was silent, only silently followed behind Tao Qirui, she didn't know what she was going to do, her head was still recalling what Tao Qirui said to herself.

The plastic bag in her hand made a slight noise, dangling in front of her hand. Finally arrived at Tao Qirui's house, the door was wide open, and Lin Yansheng saw Tao Qirui's mother sitting at the counter at the door settling accounts.

Seeing Tao Qirui coming back, Tao's mother looked up at her, saw that her face was flushed, and hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you?"

"Kind of. Tao Qirui sat down next to her mother. Tao Mu raised her hand and touched her forehead, the tentacles were hot, obviously feverish.

"I have a fever, you wait, Mom will find you medicine. Tao Mu got up and walked inside, and Tao Qirui was the only one left at the counter.

Lin Yansheng took a few steps inside, put the medicine in his hand on the counter, and looked at Tao Qirui silently.

Tao Qirui glanced up at her, her eyes were blurred, and the whole person looked a little trance, she asked weakly: "You still come to my house, what do you want to do?"

"Medicine. Lin Yansheng pointed to the medicine on the table.

"I have it at home, and I don't need your charity. ”

"It's not a handout, it's for you. Lin Yansheng pursed his lips, as if he had plucked up courage,

"Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"It's none of your business, you can go quickly. Tao Qirui stood up and looked at her with displeasure.

"I thought about it for a moment. Lin Yansheng said,

"You're right, I don't disagree with what you're saying. The corners of Tao Qirui's mouth flashed with a hint of ridicule, and she said, "Princess, don't show your importance here, you can go back." ”

"I really want to reconcile with you......"

"How many times do you want me to tell you, I have no contradiction with you, there is no need to reconcile, we are just strangers, don't pretend to be friends. Tao Qirui waved her hand and walked inside, shouting as she went,

"Mom, has the medicine been found?" Lin Yansheng looked at Tao Qirui's back wistfully, for the first time in twenty-two years, she felt a sense of frustration, and this feeling was powerless and irreparable, which made people feel really uncomfortable.
