Chapter 18: Night Talk
The courtyard is extremely quiet, three people sit on small chairs, you look at me and I look at you, sometimes the eyes are facing each other, and you have to look away in embarrassment.
"How long have you been here?" The first to break the embarrassment was Meng Yan.
"It's been a while." Hu Lida.
"When you left, you didn't say hello to anyone, Hu Li, are you a man? Hang your friends like this? Meng Yan looked at Hu Li, and the more he talked, the more excited he became.
"I'm sorry." Hu Li bowed his head.
"I'm sorry and that's it? You can't go with me, it's time to go back. Meng Yan stared at Hu Li, stood up suddenly, and grabbed Hu Li's clothes. Hu Li still bowed his head and was silent.
"Can I speak?" Zhou Quan interjected weakly.
"No, you can't. Do I know you well? Meng Yan tugged at Hu Li's clothes, turned his head and suddenly shouted.
Hu Li frowned, brushed Meng Yan's hand away, got up and stared at Meng Yan's eyes, and said, "Don't go crazy, I know you are for my good, but Zhou Quan didn't mess with you." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, Sister Meng Yan is very good, I get along with her first, don't quarrel." Zhou Quan was a little flustered, she didn't know what to say, to be honest, she was very uncomfortable when Meng Yan yelled just now, but she didn't want to make trouble for Hu Li.
"Oops, I didn't mean to, I was just anxious about you like this." Meng Yan also relieved himself and realized that he had just lost his temper. "I'm sorry, Zhou Quan."
"It's okay, I'll pour some glasses of water, and you guys will talk first." Zhou Quan also knew that he was a little embarrassed to stay here, so he found a reason to enter the house.
"You said what happened to you just now, I didn't see you so vexatious." Hu Li sat down, looked at Meng Yan and said.
"Okay, it's me who is wrong, I am so angry with you bastard. I didn't expect to meet you here. Meng Yan also sat down and rolled his eyes. But how did you meet my grandfather? ”
"Gu Bo likes Zhou Quan very much, Zhou Quan took me here once, and I got to know him."
"My grandfather is such a weird person, and he actually likes other girls, strange."
"What are you talking about, the old man is very good, did you say that about your grandfather?"
"Alas, my grandfather doesn't get along well with his family, so he has a better relationship with me, I work outside and rarely come back, I didn't expect ......" As he spoke, Meng Yan cried a little again.
"Don't cry, my uncle shouldn't like to see you sad."
Zhou Quan snorted and was stunned for a moment, "You mean, does grandpa have a good relationship with Zhou Quan?" ”
"It should be, they haven't mentioned it to me, but it should be very good, the old man loves her very much."
"Okay." Meng Yan didn't know why, and suddenly felt a little lost.
"Don't think too much about it, an old man who often comes to see him to accompany him, he must be very happy. The old man is also gone, you want to have a happy life, maybe the old man is silently watching you now. ”
"How did you and Zhou Quan meet?" Meng Yan suddenly brought up the topic.
"That's how I met, it's a nice person." Hu Li replied.
"Uh-huh, you were protecting her just now."
"When have I ever been bad with a friend?" Hu Li basically blurted out the answer.
"Well, don't talk about that. I can't go back this time, I ran into it, are you still going to hide? Meng Yan stared at Hu Li again, and his tone was very affirmative.
"I didn't hide, I like life now, it's all strangers, strange scenes." Hu Li spoke slowly.
"Do you mean not to go?"
"Hmm."
……
Meng Yan didn't know how to answer, his mouth tightened, and he was silent.
"How long will you be gone?" Hu Li suddenly asked after a while.
"In a few days, you don't care how long I go."
"Please, one thing." Hu Li stretched out his hand and lightly hammered Meng Yan on the shoulder.
"Say, a big man grinds and chirps."
"Don't tell them I'm here."
Meng Yan raised his head, looked at Hu Li, and stayed for a while before saying, "Okay." ”
"Thank you."
"Needless to say, thank you, but seriously, do you think it's worth it? For a woman? ”
"More than that, I don't want to talk about that, and today we won't talk about that." Hu Li's eyebrows dimmed a little, and his voice became smaller and quieter the more he spoke.
"Okay."
"I'm here, it took some time to boil water, old man's house." At this moment, Zhou Quan walked out with three glasses of water on a plate.
"Thank you, I'm sorry just now." Meng Yan raised his hand.
"It's okay, I know." Zhou Quan also walked down the steps.
Hu Li also took the water and said to Meng Yan: "People are still in school, take care of her more in the future." ”
"Okay, Brother Li has commanded, how dare you not listen." Meng Yan said a joke, but she could see that she was smiling bitterly, and her grandfather's departure hit her hard.
"It's so late, Zhou Quan and I are going home, you can come with us, the old man's house is too late to clean up."
"Together? Go home? ”
"Don't get Sister Meng Yan wrong, just drop by." Zhou Quan was busy opening his mouth for fear of misunderstanding.
"No misunderstanding, no misunderstanding, okay, take a break and leave, go to Hu Li's house for a night." Meng Yan slowly took a sip of the water in the cup and sighed.
"Okay."
After a while, the water in the cups of the three people also finished drinking, Meng Yan entered the house to pack his luggage, and slowly closed the door of the room. Maybe it's reluctance, maybe it's reminiscing, who can say for sure.
When the yard was almost cleaned up, the three of them turned on their flashlights and locked the yard door. The memories related to the old man are also locked in this square inch. Zhou Quan and Meng Yan were a little red-eyed again, Hu Li persuaded a few times, and walked towards the town with the two girls.
The night was a little cold, and the light of the flashlight was a little desolate in the forest, as if it couldn't fill the darkness. The three of them didn't say a word along the way, and walked quietly.
