At the end of July, when the Meteorological Bureau issued an orange high temperature warning, Uncle Zeng's wife personally cut a watermelon and handed it to me and her children, while saying: "Old Zeng, it's so hot, let her stop going tomorrow for a small holiday." "

Uncle Zeng read the newspaper and replied casually: "No problem, Xiao Ning can rest at home and tutor his younger brothers and sisters in their homework." "

Younger brother Zeng played PSP from beginning to end without raising his head, and Hello kitty-like Zeng's sister was obviously not thinking about her father, and pulled me: "Great, sister, let's go shopping." "

I was eating watermelon, and I was very depressed thinking, sure enough, I am an idler with a relationship, and it is completely the same thing whether I go to the law firm or not.

"That's right." Uncle Zeng folded the newspaper and said to his wife: "Old Qi, remember, his son will come over tomorrow." "

"Boy, he's old, isn't he?"

"That's, twenty-three or four, I went to Lingcheng last time to see it, yes, very spiritual, Xiao Ning probably knows, that little brother, I also hugged you when I was a child!"

"I haven't heard of it, how old was I then?"

"It seems like '84, it's '84, right?"

"85。" His wife reminded: "I just got pregnant with both of them. "

"Yes, yes, the three of them never got together again, your father and Lao Qi may not be uncommon at the wine table, in short, they can't run away from the public procuratorate and law."

I shook my head, my dad occasionally sighed, his position, sometimes the first day of a walk to meet people who are still nodding and greeting, the next day I went in to face the problem of confession, I can't tell, so basically only do gentlemen's friends, point to point.

The next day, my great-sister took me on a trip, and before leaving, I told her mother to go to Xujiahui, but on the subway she said: "Sister, I'll get off two stops in advance, can you go shopping by yourself?" "

"......"

"I, I talked about a boyfriend, and my mom wouldn't let me. Sister, can you help, okay? She hugged my arm and dangled it: "I'll go to you in the afternoon and go back together." "

"...... Okay, well, then be careful yourself. "

"Oops, thank you, sister." She jumped up and kissed me: "I'll call you when I get back!" Take your time on your own! "

When she got to the station, she jumped down, and when the carriage whizzed by, I saw her on the platform throwing herself into the arms of a green-haired young man, who opened his arms and hugged her.

A young hug, full of the taste of righteousness.

The next second the subway went into the dark tunnel, and the little lovers were left behind, and I pulled the ring hard and smiled at myself.

This is a business district that lives up to its reputation, bustling is very prosperous, when there is no desire to shop, the boredom is also extraordinarily strong, such as me at the moment, raising a glass of Coke with the McDonald's LOGO dangling, the clerk looked at me, greeting me like a eunuch facing a woman, the desire is really impossible to generate.

I was still very self-satisfied, and when it was time to eat, someone in a nearby noodle shop law firm had a strong recommendation, so I walked over, and just after taking the menu, someone patted me from behind.

I turned back. Familiar face, a small assistant brought by another lawyer in the law firm, surnamed Bai.

"It's really you." She sat down across from me: "Come in and look like." "

"Hehe, why are you here?"

"Don't mention it." She hung her head: "It's not the assignment from above, come to the customer to get the information, what about you?" "

I can't always say that the leader has special approval, and there is no need to go on: "It's the same as you, it's the same." "

"I'm tired of running." She fanned the wind with her hand: "You say, can't you use a fax?" Not to mention important information, it has to be picked up and delivered by someone, alas--not to say, eat something, I please. "

"No, no, I'm too embarrassed to eat like this."

"You little girl, you're really polite." She laughed, "Okay, then AA." "

She flipped through the menu and said, "The lawyer Li who took you has a lot of cases, and a little leakage from his fingers is enough to feed at least three or five small ones, but I heard that he is stingy?" "

I want to say, isn't it, I haven't had any contact with any of his customers until now, I'm a student, and I left in two months, as for being so guarded against thieves?

But the line between my brain and throat cleared up, and what came out was: "No, I don't know, I think Lawyer Li is very good." "

"But in this industry, men and women are not equal." She didn't answer, and said while drinking water: "Just like this one I followed, Lawyer Wang, I was okay to mix, I went home to give birth to a child, okay, the client took a look, yo, the child's mother, it is estimated that the time and energy can't keep up, and the brain is also covered with milk, or the male lawyer is reliable, yes, all lost." "

She knocked on the bag: "Look, I finally grabbed one, and I was nervous to death." "

Although I felt that she was a little bit of a confidant, I also felt like a confidant, and nodded: "Yes, I came to intern for a month, and I also think that it is not easy for a female lawyer." "

She cupped her cup to her lips and asked, "Do you have a boyfriend?" "

"...... Not. "

"Oh, with you, you know that it's more important for a woman to marry well."

I don't like her tone, how old, twenty-two or three-year-old, so rotten. She, me, plus my great-sister, I have the feeling of three generations of old, middle and young.

But everyone has their own ambitions. I thought wistfully, if it was Shen Sibo, I would do it if I wanted to be a full-time wife.

After settling the account, Assistant Bai went to the bathroom to touch up my makeup for more than a quarter of an hour, the air conditioning was very full, and I lay on the clean table, looking out boredly.

Of course I couldn't see it, but a train was stopping at Shanghai Station in the distance.

I couldn't see it even more, and farther away, Shen Sibo was standing on the shore of Lihu Lake that I had always wanted to take him to, and a girl approached him, she was actually happy, but she forced her composure, you, why did you come?

You, how did you come? I also want to ask this question.

Not everyone has been shopping for a day, and when they return to their residence, they are about to be frightened by the living room as soon as they enter the door - the young man sitting on the sofa turned his head when he heard the sound, and he was staring at him with one hand, and I took off the shoes on his feet with one hand, and then I handed it to my great-sister behind me, and then stuffed the shopping bag with the logo of the shopping mall into the shoe closet.

"Xiao Ning is back? Come and sit. Uncle Zeng greeted me: "This is your Uncle Qi's son." "

Endlessly, endlessly, endlessly. Life treats me so dramatically, what do you want to do? I couldn't resist, so my little sister and I sat on the sofa opposite Qixiang. Sister Zeng had already woken up from the dazed moment when she took the shoes, and pulled me: "Sister, who do you think this brother looks like?" "

"Who?"

"The male protagonist of the recent Korean drama, that is, the heroine fell in love with her uncle and was infatuated by her younger brother, and it turned out that her mother was her sister, and she finally got a terminal illness and died."

While she told me about this sci-fi film in detail, her mother kindly asked:

"Xiao Qi, do you have a girlfriend?"

"Nope." Qi Xiang didn't squint, replied very politely, and added: "I don't want to think about it for the time being." "

Uncle Zeng continued: "Okay, boy, start a career." "

"Then you can't ignore it, what do you like?"

I subconsciously turned my face sideways and glanced over the windowpane, with short hair and a pointed chin, a little two. I don't know how I look at my own reflection.

Qi Xiang paused: "Homely, quiet, oh, a little, it's better not to drink a drop of alcohol." "

He was very serious. Mrs. Zeng nodded frequently: "Yes, yes, the girl who drinks is really not good--hear me?" "

The last sentence was to educate her daughter by the way, and her great-sister nodded obediently: "I don't, I despise it." "

Uncle Zeng echoed: "A girl's upbringing is best reflected in the wine field - of course you are both good children." "

I'm crazy. What is called dumb loss, this is the current one. I glared at him when no one was looking, and according to the description of a certain master's abuse, there was basically nothing I could do except to poke my eyes into his body and peek out a few inches from his back.

But as soon as this man noticed my gaze, he immediately looked back without any evacuation, and for about ten seconds, he clenched his right hand into an empty fist against his lips, and looked at me expressionlessly, directly, oppressively, as if he had no distractions, even if Uncle Zeng changed his professional topic and was talking eloquently. If I or he don't look away, there is more than one embarrassment.

I grabbed my hair and lowered my gaze.

Qi Xiang put down his arm, coughed lightly, took Uncle Zeng's words, and didn't stumble at all, the shift of his eyes just now, so it was a thoughtful consideration, not abrupt at all.

And I had absolutely nothing to do.

It is said that a person's young will is very strong and can influence his behavior as an adult. I suspect that when Uncle Zeng was a child, he was determined to open a guest house at home, otherwise why would anyone come and greet him warmly.

To be honest, I'm not surprised by this, but what surprised me was Junior Brother Zeng.

I have always secretly suspected that this little boy has facial paralysis and communication disorders, I have been here for so long, and what he said to me is too wasteful on one hand, only the first time we met, I slurred at the request of my mother: "...... Hello sister. "

There is another eyelid lifting action, and it is unknown whether it is lifted or not.

After eating, Qi Xiang used a notebook in the living room to accompany him for a while in the Imperial Era, and about two hours later, the wolf smoke under the younger brother Zeng was everywhere, and the country was broken, which was very tragic.

Younger Brother Zeng was furious. The boy's way of expressing anger is like this - he stroked his hair, silently turned off the picture, and then re-entered, his breath was all hidden in his teeth, and he stared at Qi Xiang and held out two words:

"Again."

Qi Xiang looked at him with a smile, and I felt that he looked like he wanted to pat the other party's head: "Next time, I have to go." "

Before Uncle and Mrs. Zeng could speak, the little boy stood up, ran over and locked the door: "Come again." "

embarrassed: "Don't mess around! No matter how old you are, it's not a shame. "

Junior Brother Zeng put the key into the T-shirt, and the neckline was clutched like a martyr, looking at the crowd vigilantly.

Uncle Zeng looked at his son and shook his head, then turned his face to Qi Xiang and said, "Look, Xiao Qi, my brothers and sisters are all left with you, don't go, stay here and go back to talk to my uncle again." "

Sister Zeng stood next to me and cooperated very obediently: "Brother, stay." "

His gaze looked past my little brother Zeng, I rolled my eyes, turned around and heard him say:

"Okay, come again."

As soon as I came out of the shower on the second floor, I heard my sister Zeng retort fiercely in the next room: "No! I didn't! "

"None? So how is this going on? Her mother sounded excited, too, and her voice trembled.

I was embarrassed, and I just wanted to slip over on tiptoe, but my sister Zeng saw me at a glance and shouted, "Don't believe it, don't believe it, you ask my sister!" "

I had no choice but to walk in the door. Mrs. Zeng didn't look at me, only stared at her daughter, her face was very ugly: "I don't ask anyone, I just ask what you are doing today?" "

Then I saw that she had a bra in her hand, and one strap was broken, and it would never have been pulled like this without great force.

"Who told you to rummage through my stuff!" Great-sister shouted at her, "I put it under my pillow!" You still go and dig it out, you invade my privacy! "

"Privacy? You were born to me, I am your mother! "

"I'm not your personal property!"

Why does this conversation sound so familiar? I said the same when I was an adolescent, and probably, not a word is bad.

The mother and daughter confronted each other, and my great-sister looked stubborn, but when I touched her hand, her hand was cold and shaking.

"Auntie, don't worry, I thought something was wrong." I tried to laugh lightly: "Isn't this what she was in a hurry to tear up when we went to the bra shop today?" It's all my fault, I was also trying at the time, but I didn't help her, it's expensive, isn't it? "

Mrs. Zeng looked at me, her face a little calm, but she was obviously still not convinced.

"Oh, look." I scooped up the shopping bag and found a pair of transparent shoulder straps: "I bought them all on the spot, only to find out that they were fixed and couldn't be replaced, how annoying you say." "

Zeng's sister nodded vigorously, and her mother saw that it was indeed a chapter of a commercial building on Nanjing West Road, and she was finally half-convinced: "If it's broken, it's broken, what are you doing hiding it?" "

"I'm afraid you'll think too much." It's reasonable to be a daughter, and I'm not angry.

Mrs. Zeng was silent for a while, then clumped her bra into a ball: "Forget it, I'll wash it for you." "

He also said, "Xiao Ning, come out and play." "

My great-sister tugged at me. I winked at her and replied, "Okay." "

Mrs. Tsang said to me in the hallway:

"Xiao Ning, I'm really afraid that she will suffer a loss outside and be deceived by others. She was only fifteen years old. "

"......" that developmental condition, I thought she was at least an adult.

"Say it and don't listen, you can't beat it, you're a few years older than her, help me talk about her, okay?"

I went back to Zeng Xiaomei watching TV and asked casually:

"What did my mom tell you again?"

"It's nothing, let me talk about you."

"Say it." She smiled and lay down on the bed: "I'll listen. "

"Without this strength, I don't meddle with my business."

"I can see it, it's still hello, it's not like my mother, who is old and stubborn." She picked up the pair of shoulder straps with one hand: "Thankfully with this, how did you remember it?" What a coincidence. "

"That's because I can afford it."

"I'll give you clothes another day."

"No, you just need to save some snacks, how old are you? Do you need to be in such a hurry? "

"Huh?"

"Don't play dumb."

She smiled hesitantly: "Sister, are you still a virgin?" "

"...... Don't mention me, how old are you? "

"I'm sixteen." She puffed out her chest: "I have everything I should have." "

She wears girly lingerie with a white cat face and bow.

I covered my forehead, it was a night of lightning and thunder: "Don't tell me you're ......"

"Not yet, I'm here this time." She said in a regretful tone.

I breathed a sigh of relief, and I didn't know what I was relieved of.

"Sister, don't you want to talk to the person you like, that?"

I was wrapping my shoulder straps around and there was a pause in my hand.

The only underwear I had that I could change into with transparent straps was last year for that little black dress dress. Do you think I want to? He can ask for it at any time, and I can give it at any time. Pity.

At night, I dreamed again, and I dreamed that Shen Sibo married someone else. The first thought when I woke up was a dream, and the next second I remembered that the reality was not far away.

No more sleepiness. I wanted to smoke a cigarette, but suddenly the thought became uncontrollable, and I got up and tiptoed downstairs.

The staircase structure of Uncle Zeng's house is wrap-around, and you can only see the living room when you turn a corner.

There was someone on the couch, and he looked up, and I stood on the plane around the corner, with my hands on the wooden escalator, and I looked at him.

Without saying a word, I turned and went upstairs.

"Come down."

I'll stop, big brother, can you die if you know each other.

"I'm not coming down." I looked at him condescendingly: "I'm looking for something, and if I don't look for it now, I'm going back to sleep." "

He replied lightly: "If you want to sleep, you go to bed early." "

"...... Hum. "

"Come and sit down, don't run around and disturb the people." He didn't look at me, he patted the empty space next to him.

I remembered the tossing and turning I had just made, slowly descended the stairs, and sat down.

"Got one?"

I said reservedly, "Don't." "

He lit it himself. I hugged my knees and asked after a while, "Why can't you sleep?" "

"Biological clock."

"It's a little bit, your living habits are really bad." I said disdainfully, "You're definitely going to have premature aging." "

He looked at me: "What about you?" "

"I won't tell you." I added two seconds later, "I didn't mean to let you guess. "

"You're too worried, and I'm not prepared for this."

I paused, and then I decided, "I'll tell you--"

He waited for me to finish.

I'm out of words again.

"Don't you just want to say that I'm here because of you? Let me think less? "

"Hmph."

Qi Xiang sideways, dusted off his cigarette ashes, and touched my hair with his empty hand: "It's no cure, you." "

I flashed, and his hand came up to me like a long eye, and landed on my shoulder, but before I could make a break, he let go.

"I'll just apologize."

He leaned back and found a comfortable position to set up his legs: "I'm sorry Zhuang Ning, I didn't force you, I don't see anything to apologize for." "

I actually regretted it after saying that, it was indeed hypocritical, and at this time I was stupid: "You are disrespectful to the old." "

Qi Xiang bit his cigarette and stared at me, I was not mentally prepared for it, he laughed, and the cigarette fell to the ground.

I was shocked.

This benevolent brother, I have never seen him like this, silently, but stretched, laughing, the whole person seems to be covered with a layer of soft light, not counting at once, one after another.

"What's so funny."

He wiped his face with the palm of his hand, leaned over and picked up the cigarette from the ground, and finally got it right: "You forgot what happened that night, right?" "

"Of course, remember what to do."

"It's good to forget, I'll forget too."

"The best."

"But there's one more thing." He extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray and looked up at the long night: "That kiss, it's your first time, right?" "

"...... Hum. "

"It's useless to deny it, you can see it." Qi Xiang got up and went up the stairs: "Good night." "

It took me five minutes before he left, what does it mean to be visible? No way.
