The smoky barbecue restaurant, but there are a lot of people sitting, the red recruitment is shining like a neon sign, the boss is wearing an undershirt and an apron, wearing a white chef's high hat, sprinkling spices, turning over the skewers again and again, the atmosphere and deliciousness are indispensable.

Xi Shaohua took the menu from the waiter who didn't speak Mandarin well, and looked at the dozens of skewers on it.

The waiter would inevitably show a strange look when he saw such a heroic Xi Shaohua, as if he was afraid that they would eat the overlord meal.

It wasn't until Xi Shaohua took out a few hundred-yuan bills from his wallet that the waiter took the money with a smile and reported the menu.

After seeing the waiter leave, Xi Shaohua still muttered to himself with some complaints: "If I don't give her money first, we shouldn't be able to eat barbecue today." ”

Hearing Xi Shaohua's words, Xiao Zicheng shook his head and smiled: "Is it as exaggerated as you said?" ”

Xi Shaohua nodded affirmatively and continued to look at the menu in his hand.

Xiao Zicheng looked at the environment around the open-air barbecue restaurant, and remembered that when he was a child, he, Nan Yuxi and Xi Lingyan often ran out to eat barbecue and drink beer secretly.

Between his eyes and words, he couldn't help but sigh with a faint sadness: "It's been a long time since anyone has been with me for a barbecue......"

Xi Shaohua also knew about their school at that time, looking at his melancholy eyes, he also guessed a rough idea in his heart, and couldn't help but feel pity.

In order to comfort Xiao Zicheng, Xi Shaohua pretended to be angry, frowned, and was a little arrogant: "What, do you dislike open-air barbecue?" ”

Xiao Zicheng laughed, understanding that Xi Shaohua was deliberately making fun of him.

It didn't take long for the table to be covered with barbecue and beer, Xiao Zicheng felt a little exaggerated, and pointed to the wine on the table: "You want to get me drunk today." ”

Xi Shaohua didn't deny it, and opened the wine bottle with a proud face and said, "Let you see if I have a good amount of alcohol!" ”

Xiao Zicheng understood Xi Shaohua's intentions, so he took a bottle with a smile and saluted him: "Come, don't get drunk tonight!" ”

"Good! If you don't get drunk, you don't go home. After speaking, Xi Shaohua also picked up a bottle of beer and clinked glasses with Xiao Zicheng.

Xiao Zicheng really felt that Xi Shaohua was different from before, and couldn't help but take a closer look.

As soon as the bottle was down, Xi Shaohua began to chatter, he was not drunk, but he understood some things late, but it didn't mean that he didn't understand and be clear before, in fact, he was also an understanding person, thinking of Xi Lingyan's grievances before, he couldn't help but open his mouth to hug her grievances.

Xiao Zicheng heard Xi Shaohua's grievances with Xi Lingyan, and his heart was also full of distress, he poured a big sip of wine, and then said: "Your sister knows how you understand her, and she feels sorry for her, so she will definitely be relieved." ”

Originally, it was a comforting word for Xi Shaohua, but he didn't expect it to make him even more excited.

"Relieved?" Xi Shaohua sneered mockingly, pointed to his chest and said, "I'm fucking, I'm a scum, I know that my mother treats her badly, but I can't do anything for her......"

Before Xi Shaohua finished speaking, he was stopped by Xiao Zicheng, and comforted worriedly: "You drink less, if your sister knows, she won't kill me." ”

Xi Shaohua obediently put down the wine bottle, but his eyes were red, and he continued to hold back tears for his sister.

"You know what? Xi Shengjing actually asked my sister to marry Xiao Rui, the scumbag, for the benefit of the company, and I didn't help her at that time," said Xi Shaohua's tears and finally couldn't help it.

Xiao Zicheng listened to Xi Shaohua's words, and he blamed himself in his heart, how could he not know about Xiao Rui's matter?

That's because he still accompanied Xi Lingyan to drink all night until dawn, but what? He could only cowardly comfort her, but there was nothing he could do for her......

"Uncle Xi is your father, how can you call him by his name?" Xiao Zicheng knew how shameless and despicable Xi Shengjing was, but he was still Xi Lingyan's father, and he had to respect him in the end.

Hearing Xiao Zicheng's words, Xi Shaohua sneered as if he was crazy and said, "Father? Is that kind of scum worthy? As he spoke, he took another sip of wine and continued: "This kind of person actually cares about his son's life and death for money, if my mother hadn't begged him, I would have been torn up a long time ago!" ”

In fact, Xiao Zicheng knows these things, Xi Lingyan will keep complaining when she is drunk, sometimes she can say one thing two or three times, but Xiao Zicheng has never felt bored, and he listens to it with taste, but this is the only thing he can do and dare to do......

"If it weren't for Xiao Rui's incident, my sister wouldn't have become what she is now......" Speaking of this, Xi Shaohua saw Xiao Zicheng's eyes darken, knowing that he had said the wrong thing, and when he talked about what he was sad about, he stopped talking.

The two of them were joking, but they had already had more than a dozen bottles of wine.

After three rounds of drinking, both of them were slightly drunk, and Xi Shaohua's voice couldn't help but be louder: "If only you were brave at that time......"

Hearing Xi Shaohua's words, Xiao Zicheng was stunned and took a sip of wine silently.

Yes, it would have been nice if he had been braver at that time, he obviously liked Xi Lingyan for many years, and he had always guarded her, and the person who protected her was him Xiao Zicheng, but now he made a wedding dress for someone else.

She is now Qin Shaojing's wife, the young grandmother of the Qin family, and the mother of Qin Shaojing's two children.

If he had been braver when Xiao Rui's incident had happened, or if he had stopped drinking and drinking, would Xi Lingyan be his wife and the mother of his children now?

But it was too late......

"Brother Zicheng, why didn't you confess back then?" Xi Shaohua's face was slightly red, but his eyes were not the slightest drunk, and he frowned lightly and asked Xiao Zicheng.

Xiao Zicheng took the last sip of wine in the bottle and said as if mockingly, "What else? Egg! With that, the tears in his eyes swirled around his sockets.

Hearing Xiao Zicheng's words, Xi Shaohua suddenly remembered the secret love he talked about with his sister today, and couldn't help but feel that he and Xiao Zicheng were the same people, both cowardly......

What she said was not worthy, what she said was too good, in fact, isn't it just a cowardice to sum it up?

At this time, in Qin's house, two naked little tender babies were sitting in the bathtub in the bathroom.

"Brother, do you say that what your mother promised us that day?" Xi Zhiyu, who was originally carved out of the same mold as Qin Shaojing, now asked Qin Zhiheng with some apprehension.

Qin Zhiheng was also a little unsure, he remembered his father's words, he should be a man who stands up to the sky, and now he is still an elder brother, so he smiled like an adult, patted Xi Zhiyu's shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, my mother is an adult, and what an adult says counts." ”

While the two brothers were talking, Xi Lingyan had already changed his clothes and came in to bathe his two sons.

Xi Zhiyu, who was almost overheard in the conversation, looked at Xi Lingyan a little angrily, very indignant, "Mom, you came in and knocked on the door!" ”

When I heard the child's words, I always felt as if I had seen this scene there.

Xi Lingyan, who thought of it, couldn't help but shake his head and said, "You, you are really exactly the same as your father!" ”

When Qin Zhiheng heard his mother's words, he felt a little out of favor, lowered his head slightly and pouted, "What about me?" Who am I like, my father always says I'm not like him, not his child......"

Hearing this, Xi Lingyan frowned sadly, looked at his eldest son distressedly, and said with a doting expression: "You are like a mother, and your brother is like a father, so you are all my sons." ”

Hearing Xi Lingyan's words, Qin Zhiheng laughed happily.

But Xi Lingyan didn't know how many times he scolded Qin Shaojing in his heart, even if the eldest son really did something wrong, he really didn't look like him, he couldn't say such a thing, he was the one who snatched his son in the first place, and he was the one who couldn't take care of the child well......

At this time, Qin Shaojing suddenly sneezed several times in a row, I don't know if it was a cold or someone scolded him......

And Xi Shaohua and Xiao Zicheng at the barbecue restaurant have already drunk almost a case of beer, and they have even gone to the bathroom I don't know how many times.

But seeing that there were fewer and fewer people in the barbecue restaurant, the two of them were still not ready to leave.

Xi Shaohua comforted Xiao Zicheng and said: "When I was a child, my mother and that old man didn't treat her well, so she always ran out secretly......"

Xiao Zicheng smiled and said: "Every time that happens, Yuxi and I have to sacrifice our lives to accompany the gentleman, and sometimes the three people who drank fell asleep on the side of the street, and as a result, they were late for school the next day." ”

Xi Shaohua smiled and quipped: "It's a blessing that you weren't sent to the police station as mentally ill." ”

"At that time, people were not as enthusiastic as they are now, and we were lucky enough to avoid it." Xiao Zicheng said, his mind was full of memories of the three of them back then, and he felt regretful when he remembered that year, if he had taken the initiative at that time, maybe the ending would have been different.

Speaking of this, Xi Shaohua suddenly said seriously: "Why were you so calm back then? ”

Hearing Xi Shaohua's words, Xiao Zicheng shook his head with a smile and said, "It's not that I'm calm, but I'm afraid of being rejected or breaking ......up."

Hearing Xiao Zicheng's words, Xi Shaohua suddenly felt that Xiao Zicheng was not the kind of playboy he was on the surface, it turned out that he was the one who loved Xi Lingyan the most......

"Now that I think about it, even if I was really rejected at the time, I would continue to be friends with her, and even if I broke up later, I would have become drinking friends with her, but it was all too late......"

Saying that, Xiao Zicheng actually shed tears, so frightened that Xi Shaohua didn't know how to comfort him......

Now Xiao Zicheng regrets it so much that he can't do it, but it's all too late......

Xi Shaohua watched Xiao Zicheng pour bottles into his stomach one by one, and immediately walked over, snatched the wine bottle in his hand, and scolded some adults: "Can you cheer up a little, do you think my sister will be happy to see your current appearance?" ”

Xiao Zicheng didn't seem to hear it, he took another bottle and continued to pour it, Xi Shaohua snatched the wine bottle again and scolded angrily: "Three years ago, in order to save you, my sister passed out with blood and almost miscarried, how did you waste your life to repay her!" ”

Hearing Xi Shaohua's words, Xiao Zicheng sneered while crying, "What can I do? ”
