4.Chapter 3

2016.

The glass shattered, and the red wine spilled and twisted on the wooden floor.

"What is she better than me?"

Lin Mo really didn't seem to want to leave, sitting on the sofa, staring at the broken red wine glass on the ground with a somewhat sloppy gaze.

The question, as if she had exhausted all her strength, leaned back in despair, her eyes scarlet.

In the end, there was still no restraint.

Jiang Yan looked at his phone, it was still a long time before the take-off time, he bent down, picked up the broken glass piece by piece, and didn't speak.

Lin Mo tugged at the corners of his lips and said, "Are you unable to answer, or is it because you are also ...... Family marriage? ”

As soon as Jiang Yan's hand was forced, his fingertips were cut by broken glass, and the blood came out, turning into one with the red wine, but his voice came steadily: "As long as Shen Xi is Shen Xi, it is good enough." ”

Clear, calm, and so on, this kind of dialogue really makes people feel hopeless.

Lin Mo sneered, his face drooping, only his shoulders twitching.

Leaving her like this is not the way to do it after all.

Jiang Yan cleaned up again, walked to the window, and made a phone call, asking Qin Sheng to come back and take Lin Mo away.

Qin Sheng on the other side of the phone didn't expect that there was a fish that slipped through the net just now, so he happily agreed.

The light snow outside the window has turned into a goose-feather snow, the winding road has been obscured by the night, and the wind is getting stronger and stronger, like a giant beast, black and oppressive.

What's so good about Shen Xi?

On the cooking table, there was a lighter left that I don't know who it was, Jiang Yan lit the lighter, the blue flames beat happily, and the vitality was very vigorous, like Shen Xi.

Jiang Yan's face added a faint warmth: "I will come to the United States to study architecture because of Shen Xi." ”

"All the important decisions in my life were encouraged by Shen Xi." He accentuated his tone and said it again. After all, few of the developer's sons are studying architecture, and learning economics and management is the right thing to do.

Shen Xi has moved, and the natural kindergarten will also follow.

When Jiang Yan saw Shen Xi carrying a small yellow duck schoolbag and combing his pigtails, standing beside the kindergarten teacher stupidly, he immediately turned his face.

When Shen Xi saw Jiang Yan, his eyes lit up and he waved at him.

What kind of wave, I can't see it, Jiang Yan caught a glimpse of Shen Xi's white little hand out of the corner of his eye.

The little hands were getting closer and closer, and the teacher took Shen Xi to Jiang Yan's side and said, "Xiaoxi, you can sit here." ”

Shen Xi said angrily: "Okay." ”

Five-year-old Jiang Yan sighed old-fashioned outside the vibrant window.

Shen Xi had already taken his hand and said, "Xiao Jiang, we can play together again!" ”

Jiang Yan was a little dissatisfied with this title: "Why do you call me Xiao Jiang." ”

Shen Xi said while playing with the braids in his hands: "Because you call me Xiaoxi, I call you Xiaojiang, isn't it fairer?" Lala, the creek and the river, how nice it sounds. ”

Jiang Yan: "I didn't call you Xiaoxi. ”

Shen Xi: "It's called, Xiao Jiang, you just called." ”

Jiang Yan turned his head, not planning to continue talking to her.

Shen Xi was still a little afraid that he would be angry, so he pulled his sleeve and asked, "Xiao Jiang, what else would you call you?" ”

This question stumped Jiang Yan, who is not usually called a person......

The kindergarten teacher often complained to his parents that Jiang Yan's children were good at everything, but they didn't like to call people.

After thinking for a long time, Jiang Yan held back a face that was about to turn into a tomato and said, "Call brother." ”

Hmph, even if it's a little bigger, it's still big.

Shen Xi turned his face and shouted sweetly: "Brother Xiao Jiang." ”

…… Why is it Xiao Jiang again! Everyone is not in the same world, there is no way to talk! Jiang Yan pursed his lips tightly and decided not to entangle Shen Xi with such a trivial matter, anyway...... He didn't really want to talk to her.

Because in this kindergarten, Shen Xi has no other children he knows, so he can only play with Jiang Yan.

For several days, Shen Xi was like a magic sound: "Brother Xiao Jiang", "Brother Xiao Jiang", "Brother Xiao Jiang".

And I don't know why, the children in the class don't seem to like her very much, especially the girls, Shen Xi greeted the girls on the side, and the little girl rolled her eyes and ran away.

The boy in the back seat also likes to bully her, as soon as class starts, he began to pull her pigtails, she turned around and "fierce" several times, and the boy said with a hippie smile: "How fun." ”

Shen Xi said that he couldn't help him, and he couldn't get up to beat him, so he had to lie on the table and peek at Jiang Yan from time to time.

Jiang Yan has been holding a pencil to practice his own handwriting without squinting, constantly warning himself that Shen Xi is a small trouble.

Three lines of words are written on the top of the exercise book: "Don't talk to her", "Don't talk to her", "Don't talk to her"

The little girl's furry head moved over, with an appreciative tone: "Xiao Jiang, you can write, I just learned it." I know the first word, and the first word reads 'wood', right? ”

Jiang Yan thought: Don't talk to the mentally retarded...... Wait a minute, how do you write the word retarded?

He drew two circles on the Tianzi grid, and Shen Xi read them excitedly: "Zero zero!" ”

Jiang Yan glanced at Shen Xi, and the little girl's gaze at him was a little aggrieved. Jiang Yan noticed that Shen Xi's little pigtails were torn apart.

Xu Li's threat to let Shen Xi sleep in his bed suddenly came to mind again.

Shen Xi had been lying on his stomach for two classes, and the boy in the back seat was suddenly called out by the kindergarten teacher to give a lecture, and after a while, he came back with a red face and said sorry to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi opened his eyes, and before he knew what was going on, he saw Jiang Yan sitting on the side hooking the corners of his lips and smiling, his dark eyes looked brighter and more thorough.

Isn't it too stupid in the end, Shen Xi grabbed Jiang Yan's arm and said, "Thank you, brother." ”

The word brother, Jiang Yan was still more useful, touched Shen Xi's messy hair, and said, "Stupid, why don't you tell the teacher about this kind of thing." ”

Shen Xi lowered his head and pulled his fingers: "I'm afraid ......"

She is not afraid of the little boy in the back seat, she is afraid of the teacher, after all, she is a child who is distracted in class every day, and she is most afraid of talking to the teacher or something. And she said that the teacher didn't necessarily believe it, just after class, she chased the little boy and beat him, and was seen by the teacher!

Shen Xi grabbed his hair and smirked at Jiang Yan.

Jiang Yan immediately said, "Don't let me comb my hair!! ”

Shen Xi sighed and said, "I just want you to teach me how to write, Xiao Jiang, but I didn't expect you to help me comb my hair." Xiao Jiang, you are so good. ”

Jiang Yan quickly threw her a pen: "Just practice that zero." ”

In one class, Shen Xi drew a lot of duck eggs.

Looking at the duck eggs full of paper, Jiang Yan thought that he had successfully completed the task assigned to him by his mother to protect his sister from crying, and this matter would come to an end.

Unexpectedly, such a simple hero saving the beauty attracted more and more from Shen Xi: "Brother Xiaojiang, let's play together." ”

From science classes to activity classes to exploration classes, Shen Xi has always had to pair up with Jiang Yan.

There were many children in the class who wanted to play with Jiang Yan, but few were as "cheeky" as Shen Xi, so when the children saw Shen Xi and Jiang Yan playing with stacking blocks together in .jpg the construction class, they were all dumbfounded

Jiang Yan doesn't like the so-called construction class very much, most of the time he uses the small beads in the material package as chess pieces and thinks about his own affairs.

Because Jiang Yan was gifted since he was a child, the teacher also said that he was helpless. But Shen Xi didn't know what the charm of playing with small beads was, she liked brightly colored building blocks, the bigger the better, so that she could pile the buildings high.

On this day, Shen Xi took a few big building blocks and compared them for a long time, Jiang Yan really couldn't stand it, and interjected: "If you want to pile it high, it must be relatively big things underneath, how can you use a triangle to put things on it below." ”

Shen Xi said unconvinced: "I just want to build a different house." Squares are fine, but triangles can't. ”

At that time, the houses on the street were all tube buildings, basically looking the same, for the buildings, everyone's idea was to be strong and firm, and the houses that children saw were basically the same.

But Shen Xi has always been an imaginative child: "I just want to build a small house with a big triangle at the bottom, Brother Xiaojiang, you are so smart, you can definitely build it." ”

Jiang Yan's self-control ability was actually not very good at that time, and when he heard the word smart, he turned his back and coughed, but he still took the triangle from Shen Xi's hand and began to fiddle with it, he studied it for a while, and found that it was not impossible to use the triangle to make the bottom piece, provided that the triangle was inserted into the sponge floor mat of the kindergarten, and with support, he could continue to build a house on the triangle.

He was more meticulous and soon piled up the blocks high and magnificent.

Jiang Yan was still not satisfied, he always felt that there was a better way.

Many years later, when Jiang Yan was studying in the Department of Architecture, the first design drawing he drew was a triangular building, of course, at that time, there were many buildings with various strange shapes.

Looking at the triangular castle, Shen Xi clapped her hands happily, and the laughter attracted the teacher's attention, and soon she and Jiang Yan were both standing in the corridor for destroying the kindergarten's public property, the floor mat.

Shen Xi, coupled with his previous kindergarten experience, is not the first time to be punished, and he is used to the punishment station, so he will have fun alone, such as looking at the butterflies flying around in the garden.

Jiang Yan's child was punished for the first time in his life, and there was no expression on his face, but his little heart still made a little wave-why did he feel different after knowing Shen Xi.

And this difference is unfortunate, throughout the last year of Jiang Yan's kindergarten, including - actually really slept in the same bed with Shen Xi, because he witnessed Shen Xi taking a nap to pee his pants for the first time was beaten by Shen Xi, and when he graduated from kindergarten, his mother said that he wanted to dress as cute as Shen Xi, and forced him to wear a nondescript ladybug dress......

The wind and snow are heavier.

Lin Mo's voice suddenly sounded faintly: "When you were studying in a foreign country, is it good for the woman who dumped you?" ”

Jiang Yan put down the lighter, poured himself a glass of wine, and said, "Shen Xi is not that kind of person. ”

Shen Xi was like a duckling, and Jiang Yan was the first person she saw when she broke out of her shell, and she followed him step by step.

But how did such a Shen Xi suddenly change? Is there something wrong?

Jiang Yan closed his eyes and pondered, this year, he took a lot of classes, and also took some professional courses in the School of Economics.

Shen Xi was angry with him, thinking that he was too cold to her.

The last time he called, he dozed off because of the jet lag and staying up late, and that day Shen Xi seemed to be talking about something she was very happy about, what was it, saying that she had a job interview opportunity, and that she also wanted to work hard to earn money. I was afraid that she would work too hard, so I gave her Alipay a lot of money.

Is it because of this?

Shen Xi seemed to be silent that day, but later she happily said that it was her senior sister who interviewed and liked her very much......

So it's not because of this, is it?

The last time they met was in France last year, and they had a temporary project to visit buildings in France. Shen Xi happened to be in the summer vacation, so he flew to France.

But in those days, in a hurry, he left a card for Shen Xi, held group discussions day and night, and never even shaved his beard.

He stayed up all night, and at dawn, he went to the hotel to find Shen Xi. Shen Xi was about to return to China that day, and when he saw him, he was overjoyed and said, "Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang, you are here." She smiled and told him about the places she had visited, that she didn't know how to speak French, and that she had bought a lot of bags.

Shen Xi seemed to be very happy that day, but was he negligent about something. Or is it because ......

Four years ago, he planned to study abroad. When parting, Shen Xi took his hand and said, "Xiao Jiang, you will definitely become a very tired architect!" ”

It's as simple as becoming a master builder.

Her eyes that day seemed to be full of starlight, and the person in her mouth was like a brilliant sun, as if it would shine the world.

Shen Xi asked: "Xiao Jiang, will you go to a wider world in the future and meet many, many people?" ”

He didn't care, and scolded her in a low voice as "stupid".

Shen Xi's voice was lowered: "Actually, it seems to be a good thing to meet different people." ”

Jiang Yan's hand holding the cup couldn't help but tremble.

He seemed to know what the problem was.

He thought that Shen Xi was a toddler following behind him, but he didn't look back at her.

That little duck, if you want a wider world.
