The trunk space of the off-road vehicle is large enough that all large and small luggage can be fitted.

Ningxia thought, he drove this car over to really help move.

Ye Chaojue? Ye Zhaojue? Or, Ye Zhaojue?

Ningxia sat in the back seat, flipped through the dictionary of his brain in confusion, and before he knew it, the car had turned around and left the road.

The familiar campus scenery receded a little, and Ningxia turned his head sideways to face out the window, pursed his lips lightly, and remained silent quietly.

For a while, only Ye Xiaofan's chatter echoed in the cab alone, "I'm so hungry, I haven't eaten a bite since I got up in the morning, brother, you invite us to a big meal!" ”

"What do you want to eat?" Ye Zhaojue looked at the road conditions and asked.

Getting his answer, Ye Xiaofan immediately stretched his neck from between the driver's seats, "Xiao Xia, let's go eat Korean food, I miss the taste of seafood rice cakes!" ”

Ningxia belongs to rubbing rice, so naturally there will be no objections. She said indifferently, "Yes, you decide." Then, she continued to look out the window at the scenery flying by.

In the past, I always wanted to graduate as much as possible, thinking that after graduation, I would be open and free, and I would be able to soar to the sky. In the blink of an eye, dreams come true, but there are so many tastes in my heart that I can't put into words.

Well...... No more students.

Out of the school gate, the sun shines. Ye Xiaofan used her hands to build a pergola to block the strong light, she began to regret sitting in the front row, and kept shouting to get out of the car and change seats.

The car drove smoothly on the elevated road, Ye Zhaojue ignored it, and only glanced at her, "You have lived with Miss Ning for four years, why haven't you even learned the slightest bit of stability?" ”

Ningxia was named, slightly stunned.

Miss Ning?

Although this title is rare to hear, it is not a surprise to her. As soon as it came out of his mouth, she immediately found the taste. Previously, Ye Xiaofan introduced himself and emphasized that "this is my best friend", obviously, this is dispensable for him.

Because he was only a stranger to him indirectly, he didn't even need to ask for corrections.

Ningxia didn't think it was a big deal, but he was relieved that he didn't remember her better.

On the other hand, Ye Xiaofan was reluctant.

The two talked that day, and she asked Ningxia why she rejected love and marriage, and the answer Ningxia gave was: I like freedom and don't want to be restricted.

Regardless of whether she believes this broken reason or not, she is determined to be this matchmaker anyway.

Ye Xiaofan corrected unhappily: "What Miss Ning?" Just call her Natsu. She didn't forget to turn her head and tell Ningxia, "Xiao Xia, call me big brother together." ”

Ningxia never twisted, and this time it was the same, and shouted with crooked eyebrows: "Big brother." ”

The voice is clear and sweet, with a sense of intimacy.

Ye Zhaojue raised his eyes and glanced at the rearview mirror in the car, and slammed his chest unguardedly.

It's this smile again.

Clean, familiar, and harsh.

He looked away with difficulty, smiled, and remained silent.

Ningxia pouted and looked out the window again.

Only Ye Xiaofan was a little embarrassed, she frequently inspected Ye Zhaojue's face, and felt a little unable to get off the stage, both angry and helpless.

***

The lunch venue was chosen at Ye Xiaofan's favorite Korean restaurant. After getting along for four years, Ye Xiaofan knew the taste of Ningxia very well, and he didn't ask her, he made the decision alone, and ordered a bunch of things.

Although the number is large, it is not repeated. The meals were served one after another, and Ye Xiaofan enjoyed it and was extremely satisfied.

Ningxia tilted his head to look at her, knowing that she was borrowing food to appease her feelings.

Inadvertently, he lifted his eyelashes, and noticed that Ye Zhaojue on the opposite side looked at his sister deeply, his left palm was against the back of his right hand, lightly resting on his chin, and his raised arm bent out of strong muscle lines.

I have seen his noble appearance in a suit and leather shoes, and then I have seen his current simple and casual life style, especially the distress for his sister revealed from his eyes, and his cold attitude towards her is even more insignificant. In Ningxia's eyes, he became a little more likable.

He suddenly glanced over, Ningxia was startled, and the iron spoon in his hand hit the mouth of the bowl, making a crisp sound. Ningxia was a little embarrassed, as if she had just peeked at him.

Fortunately, she was calm enough, pretending that the two happened to meet their eyes, and returned a bright smile.

But the other party didn't seem to appreciate it very much, he frowned slightly, and lowered his eyes.

Is this disliked?

Ningxia couldn't cry or laugh, it seems that Ye Xiaofan's cousin doesn't seem to like her very much.

After a meal, Ning Xia and Ye Zhaojue didn't eat much. Ningxia is affected by school departure, low mood and loss of appetite; And Ye Zhaojue, Ningxia thought that he had no appetite for Korean food.

Ye Xiaofan insisted on propping herself up until the food was almost in her throat, and she stroked her round stomach and screamed.

Ye Zhaojue looked at her with a smile, reached out and pinched a tissue to wipe the sauce from the corner of her mouth, and said with a smile: "How old is it." ”

Ye Xiaofan took the tissue and wiped it himself, and said nonchalantly: "Anyway, it's younger than you." With a blink of his eyes, he suddenly thought of something, and asked in surprise, "Brother, is your thirtieth birthday coming soon?" Whatever gift you want, I'll give it to you! ”

He laughed: "The days are over. ”

Ye Xiaofan said "ah", but his tone was normal, "I'm middle-aged, what kind of gift do you want." ”

Ningxia thought to herself, she is middle-aged, no, even in her old age, she has to reach out and ask for gifts.

It's not naïve, it's not greedy, if there's not even a little surprise in life, what's the fun?

Thinking like this, she caught a glimpse of Ye Xiaofan's relaxed expression and hippie smile, "Then I won't send it, I just don't have any money." At the end, she added, "Thank you, big brother, happy birthday, big brother." ”

Ye Zhaojue smiled and was noncommittal.

Ningxia couldn't help but look at him, his eyebrows were handsome, the bridge of his nose was high, and the thickness of his lips was just right. The quiet side face is slightly deep, and it has an indescribable taste.

The restaurant was playing light and comfortable background music, but Ningxia felt lonely inexplicably, she thought, probably because the coldness in his eyes infected her.

***

Sitting back in the car, Ye Xiaofan, who had eaten and drunk enough, completely recovered.

She was afraid of the sun and did not want to sit in the co-pilot. With his hands in the main driver's seat, he leaned forward, constantly creating topics, and asked Ningxia and Ye Zhaojue to communicate with each other.

Ningxia was not stupid and glared at her warningly. She pretended not to see it and kept trying.

Under her guidance, Ningxia said a few simple words perfunctorily, but fortunately, Ye Zhaojue responded lightly one by one, and the atmosphere was still good.

The car drove into the community and parked on the side of the road.

Ye Zhaojue got out of the car before them and took out Ningxia's suitcase and handbag. Ningxia stretched out his hand to pick it up, and was about to thank him, but saw him pulling a suitcase in one hand and a handbag in the other, and stepped away, "I'll send you." ”

"No need." Ningxia shook his head and declined, "Thank you, big brother, I can do it myself." ”

Of course, Ningxia would not think that the sudden change in his attitude was something boring, there was still some distance from the unit building, he was just out of gentlemanly demeanor, after all, she was so good at withstanding his sister's status as a "good friend".

But it is precisely because of such a thin relationship that the two have just met, and it is one thing for her to cheekily call her eldest brother, and it is another thing to have a cheap big brother as a laborer.

Ningxia doesn't want to trouble others, but Ye Xiaofan is willing in every way.

She put her arm around her and stopped, "Let my brother send it, don't see your family!" ”

If it weren't for her brother's presence, Ningxia really wanted to kick her.

Ye Xiaofan said this, and it would be a bit too much for her to refuse again. I had to raise a smile and say, "Then it's troublesome big brother." ”

"You're welcome." Ye Zhaojue turned his face slightly.

The smile on Ningxia's lips froze like this.

She couldn't figure out why this man looked at her one after another with a look of can't bear to look at her, did she look so sorry?

I still remember the kind of eyes he looked at himself in the hotel lobby, and the two were compared, and Ningxia couldn't help but slander-

This man is really strange!

Ye Xiaofan pretended to moan: "Ah, my feet hurt." Xiao Xia, I won't send you off, say hello to your uncle on my behalf. ”

“……”

Ningxia really wants to beat her up!

***

Ningxia has lived in this community for nearly eight years, and has long been familiar with every grass and tree. The two of them were left and right, silent all the way, but this is not her style after all, after thinking about it, she took the initiative to find a topic.

"Look, magnolia blooms." She looked up at the branches, tilted her head and smiled, "It's beautiful." ”

Ye Zhaojue followed her line of sight and glanced at her, "The flowering period has arrived." ”

“……”

Perhaps influenced by his previous attitude, Ningxia felt that this was a completely perfunctory nonsense. Flowering, of course, is the flowering season.

Ningxia suppressed his feelings, twisted his head back, looked at him, and had nothing to say, "Big brother, do you know the flower language of Guang Yulan?" ”

The "big brother" shouted very cordially and harshly.

Walking up the stairs from the small square with fitness equipment, he withdrew his gaze from the white jade petals of the magnolia, only to meet Ningxia's smiling eyes unexpectedly.

Her eyes were clear, she looked straight ahead, frank and innocent.

He turned his face away again and blinked with difficulty, thinking to himself that he must have been crazy to look into her eyes again and again to think of another person across the ocean.

Disgusted again......

Ningxia felt a little bored in his heart, and this feeling of being disgusted by his friend's brother for no reason was a bit bad.

After a pause, regardless of whether the other party was listening or not, she said to herself: "After the petals of the magnolia wither, the remaining stamens will grow into a two-inch-long round stem, and the round stem is covered with purple-red seeds. The seeds are huddled together and look like a family of generations. Therefore, the flower language of magnolia is endless, passed down from generation to generation. However, it can also be ice clear jade, because it looks noble and pure. ”

After passing one flower bed after another, Ye Zhaojue did not squint and did not make a sound.

Ningxia didn't expect it, seeing that the unit building was getting closer and closer, she could finally get rid of today's embarrassing encounter.

Who knows, after taking two steps, I unexpectedly heard his voice, and it was not just a response to her explanation of flowers, but extended to other places, "Have you ever read "Botany"? It is a book dedicated to landscape architecture. ”

Ningxia was stunned: "...... No. ”

"If you're interested in plants, check them out."

He was still staring intently ahead, and his straight and upright appearance made Ning Xia think that he was deliberately avoiding her.

Ningxia said: "Oh, thanks for the recommendation, but unfortunately I'm not interested in plants." Her tone was dry, and her attitude suddenly became detached.

Ye Zhaojue turned his head to look at her, but Ningxia lowered his head and didn't notice.

Her stubborn little face was hidden in the dark, and Ye Zhaojue raised her chin slightly, thoughtful.

Just downstairs in the unit, Ningxia deliberately didn't look at his face, took the initiative to grab the suitcase and handbag, and said in a general tone: "Thank you, I'll go up by myself, Xiaofan is still waiting for you in the car, you go back." "I spit out all the words without stopping.

Ye Zhaojue raised his eyebrows, he glanced at the height of the building, there will be an elevator on more than seven floors, and there is indeed no need to send it all the way home. He said nothing else, said goodbye, and went back the way he came.

After he took two steps, Ningxia raised his head and saw it.

The dark blue back faded into the dense trees, and she thought, it would be better to never see her again.

Entering the elevator, pressing the floor, Ningxia's fingertips typed quickly, and sent a text message to Ye Xiaofan-

To tell the truth, you are not suitable to be a matchmaker, and you have no eyesight at all. My teeth are very bad, and a man like your brother really can't bite.

The elevator door opened, and she walked outside the house with a large bag and a small bag, and took out the key to open the door.

The phone rang with a short reply, but she ignored it.

The key was twisted a round and a half, and the door opened. However, the scene that caught her eyes made her eyes widen.

Who will sue her, but she hasn't been home for a month, why is the house empty?.
