Drinking tea is a well-known hobby in He Panshan's circle in addition to sea fishing and sailing.

He house has four reception places, two in the room, two in the garden, each place has a tea table, among which He Panshan favorite, or in the garden of the lake pavilion, whenever there are distinguished guests to come, He Panshan will make an appointment with the tea master in advance, and the guests there to enjoy the fish and taste tea, talk about business.

Rejecting the maid's proposal to brew tea, He Panshan personally picked up the clay pot, put the bowl on the cover, brewed a pot of good Yunnan red, poured it into the cup, the soup was pure, and he could smell a slight honey fragrance and the smell of potato wood, sweet and silky.

"Don't you wash tea?"

He Tianran raised the cup and put it in front of his nose to sniff and asked.

"The ingredients picked by the head, you don't need to wash them, you just drink them directly." He Panshan said a word, turned the fair cup in his hand, poured tea soup into the warm cup, raised his eyes and smiled: "Xiao Wen, black tea is warm and moist, good for girls." ”

"Hmmm! Thank you, Uncle He. ”

"You're welcome."

Filling the two little young teacups, He Panshan poured tea for himself, and said while pouring:

"As for outsiders, they all know that my uncle likes to drink tea, so many times he will do what he likes and bring me some tea every once in a while."

He put down the fair cup, picked up his teacup, blew lightly, then took a deep sip, put it down, and continued very easily:

"But actually, to be honest, I don't like to drink tea, this hobby is completely pretended."

He Tianran and Wen Liang glanced at each other, this matter, He Tianran, as a son, also knew for the first time, they all thought of the word "vassal elegance", but no one could say it.

"Dad, why?"

The son accosted, and the old man didn't make the two young people puzzled for too long, he explained:

"People, it's always good to show some hobbies, to say that they are greedy for money and lustful, and to say that they are writing and singing when they are small, if a person looks perfect, it feels very empty, so whether it is a hobby, a shortcoming, a cover door, there must always be a little gap for others to get into, so that people will be close, at least let others have a way to go, as for whether I really like this thing, it doesn't matter, I just need to choose to accept it or not."

Wen Liang listened and didn't speak, and He Tianran on the side nodded:

"Understood."

"Hehe, you don't understand."

The father immediately denied his son's answer, and He Tianran was a little unconvinced:

"What's the matter, it's not such an esoteric truth, do I have to think about it for ten days and half a month, can't I have an epiphany on the spot?"

After speaking, he also picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp.

"Hey, I don't doubt my son's understanding at all, even if I don't tell you these things, I think you have a clear heart, but I'm not talking to you about Zen now, I'm not teaching you anything, I'm just taking out a secret of myself and exchanging it with you, understand?"

“……”

“……”

He Tianran and Wen Liang looked at each other again.

He Panshan rubbed his hands, then crossed his fingers, rested his elbows on the table, and looked at the two people in front of him with interest, as if he was sure that the two would confide in some truths.

"Dad, what secret do you want to know? I didn't repeat it at the dinner table, although it was misunderstood just now, but Wen Liang and I are really just friends. ”

He Tianran got straight to the point, his father left him with Wen Liang, and an outsider knew why, and as a party, he didn't want to go around this bend.

Who knows, He Panshan shook his head and said:

"Son, you know, your father and I are actually quite suspicious, it is true that I don't want to point too much fingers at your love life, but I also hope that our father and son can be honest......"

Then, he turned his head sideways and continued to Wen Liang:

"It's like others think I like to drink tea, but I don't like it in my heart, I'm just pretending, but over time, I gradually have some understanding of tea, green tea with glass, black tea with ceramics, oolong tea with purple sand, with what kind of people, what kind of tea to drink, sometimes it is really more effective with half the effort, but only I know that I am pretending, I don't like to drink tea......"

Wen Liang's heart was shocked at this time, and He Tianran on the side also heard his father's voice.

The son brought a girl home for dinner, during which the two behaved in a cover-up, and it seemed that there was something to hide, and the old father was overjoyed, and immediately recognized that this girl was his daughter-in-law......

This kind of thing may happen to other people's fathers and sons, but it is absolutely impossible to happen here with He Panshan and He Tianran.

Now, what He Tianran is thinking about is to prove that he and Wen Liang are just friends, and He Panshan seems to be doing even better, he doesn't care about this at all, in his opinion, his son has an ambiguous relationship with Wen Liang, no better, he is just using this to remind him that girls may just do what they like, and they may be pretending to like you.

Because He Tianran has always said that he and Wen Liang are friends, He Panshan is not easy to say about this, but this is fine, so as not to say too directly sometimes and make everyone embarrassed.

Does Wen Liang like He Natural?

In He Panshan's view, within this question, there is a more important question-

Do you like He Tianran as a person, or do you like some of the things he represents behind him?

Of course, old men can allow some impurity in love, after all, there are many factors to like a person, and the older you are, the more realistic it is, but allowing it does not mean that you have to be kept in the dark, because even if you want to pretend to be confused, it is also the behavior after seeing things clearly.

"Dad, you're thinking a little too much, aren't you?"

"Is it much? But that's not what you're showing. ”

He Tianran was still young after all, and he couldn't hold his breath, and his father's hint just now, even if it was good for him, obviously caused an offense, an offense to his friends, to Wen Liang.

He hates He Panshan's strong posture, as if he is in power, sees through everything, and has a condescending attitude, which is also the most profound contradiction between the two fathers and sons.

And as they grew older, there were fewer and fewer such conflicts, but they were the result of the two fathers and sons' efforts to avoid them, because they both knew that they were actually the same kind of people, the same kind of ...... People who have a strong desire to control.

It's just that the difference now is that the father is getting old and the son is growing up, and if there is another conflict like this, it is likely that it will not be the same as before.

The son's yin and yang weirdness is still for a little girl, which makes He Panshan, whose patriarchy has been challenged, a little more angry in his eyes, wondering when this child will mature a little, and just as he was about to speak, a crisp voice suddenly sounded in his ears.

"Uncle He, why don't you let me exchange secrets with you~"

The two fathers and sons looked sideways at the same time, they hadn't spoken before, and Wen Liang, who was "quiet and well-behaved" enough during the meal, suddenly smiled, and the corners of his mouth curled up in a beautiful arc.

She continued: "Let's say we're friends naturally, but I don't think so, and friendship seems to me to be temporary. ”

The girl's words were amazing, and the shift in focus made the father and son suddenly have no signs of hostility.

The daughter-in-law of a rich family is not good, and the other party's parents are enthusiastic about you, more often out of politeness, and pretending to be reserved is obviously not her cool character, so instead of being so misunderstood and secretive, she still prefers to explain everything clearly.

Moreover, isn't this the answer He Panshan wants?

In fact, some things are very simple, Wen Liang really doesn't understand, how can these two fathers and sons talk about it, and they get angry when they see it......

"Cool ......"

He Tianran quietly pulled the corner of the girl's clothes, for fear that her straightforward "flying girl" character would annoy He Panshan.

Unexpectedly, the girl took his hand in turn, and said as if there was no one around:

"I just called you 'natural', don't you mind?"

“……”

I'm Nima......

This sentence choked He Tianran speechless, his heart was galloping, is it time to say this?

And you said that you are a girl, why are you so bold? In front of my dad, why don't you flirt with me here?

This stunned and ambiguous scene appeared in front of him, He Panshan grinned at the corners of his mouth, turned his head, even if he had seen the wind and waves, he suddenly saw that his son was like a little girl, and was actually taken by a girl to take the initiative to grab his hand and boldly show his love.

"Oh, that's a ...... What do you want to say? ”

The incident happened suddenly, and He Panshan didn't know what expression to use to treat this little girl at this time, so he could only smile and ask without having time to close his mouth.

Wen Liang replied very briskly, like a complaint:

"Uncle, you just want to know what the two of us are, it's actually very simple, it's not that complicated, I confessed to your son a while ago, but he didn't promise me!"

"I ...... Hahaha......"

He Panshan still couldn't help but be happy, he pursed his lips, and shouted to his son who was still in a daze:

"He Nature, you're a boy, don't act like a little girl, other girls are more generous than you, what kind of situation are you, you talk about it."

He Tianran couldn't help but raise the volume:

"I ...... Isn't it very clear what my situation is, I refused! I've been saying it all along, but you don't believe it! ”

"You refused people, and now you are still holding hands?"

"I ...... I...... It's not my initiative......"

Before He Panshan could speak, Wen Liang said:

"Uncle, He Tianran is single now, right?"

"Ah, yes."

"Do you hate me?"

"Me? I don't hate you. ”

"Then I'm chasing you now, and you're not against it, huh?"

"I ...... Wow, why do I feel like I've given birth to a daughter, you guys let go of your hands first, ouch, this thing is ......"

Wen Liang let go of He Tianran's hand when she heard this, her eyes were bright, her face was flushed, at this time she was a delicate and delicate person, glazed and shining, neat and tidy, and charming red and white.

Such a hearty and straightforward girl who exudes a confident temperament from the inside out, He Panshan loved it at first sight.

The most important thing is that she is a girl, and her actions have disrupted the rhythm of the two fathers and sons of the He family, He Panshan still sorted out his thoughts, since everything is spread out, there is no need to hide it.

"My son has a person he likes for a long time in private, Xiao Wen, do you know?"

He Panshan was blunt, and Wen Liang was even more frank:

"I know, but they're not together yet."

"But I've been waiting for that girl for a long time."

"Then he doesn't have to wait now, isn't that a good thing?"

“……”

He Panshan was really happy, since the girl Wen Liang spoke, the corners of his mouth had not drooped, and then he asked a key question:

"And what do you like about my son?"

"I ......"

Wen Liang originally had a stomach for the answer, but the words came to an abrupt end.

He Tianran on the side looked at her seriously, and He Panshan also listened attentively......

But Wen Liang didn't seem to be the first time to pour out her love for He Tianran to others, such a scene seemed to have happened before, two familiar and strange women's faces flashed in her mind, but she couldn't confirm when that scene happened, and at the same time her ears sounded a tactful and mournful tune full of ancient rhyme, like yesterday's scene, and like a hundred years ago.

Those pictures and sounds flashed like lightning, and the long memories that evoked the girl disappeared only in an instant.

Wen Liang looked at He Tianran's familiar face, she was too close to him now, right next to him, right in front of her.

The wild girl, who was still full of enthusiasm and bravery, showed her true personality in front of the other party's parents, suddenly stopped, because a melancholy feeling of "drawing her sword and looking around at a loss" rose in her heart.

To answer the question of loving someone, courage alone is not enough, what do you like about this man?

Wen Liang didn't want to answer too incompletely and too generally.

She didn't want to be like that......

So, she began to think back to the first goodbye between them.

At this moment, she seemed to have returned to the observation deck where she could overlook the snow-capped mountains, and there was no one in front of or behind her, only a weed grew in the place where He Tianran had stood and left.

There are many extremely beautiful things in this world, and they seem to be desperate to get the most gorgeous moment, and in that moment, they seem to be standing in the middle of the world.

These grand, tragic and terrible, seem to have nothing to do with this weed, it is just a weed looking at the snow-capped mountains, it watches the sun go down the mountain, waiting for the moon to climb up, and so on.

Wen Liang has been to the snowy mountains, seen the weeds, she has harvested the most splendid moment, and it was when she "drew her sword and looked around at a loss", someone took her out of a road, so that now, there is a weed in her heart, which is swaggering in the wind.

Wen Liang likes this weed that does not say goodbye, but lives in her heart, because the weed lets her know that the world belongs to others and is also her own.

People meet and part, the moment they pass by, it is the passing of life and life, everyone is immersed in their own trajectory, and occasionally and briefly participates in each other's theater hurriedly passing by.

But Weeds understands everyone's uniqueness, knows why he does something and doesn't need others to understand, and won't dare to grow because he is in the wasteland, and now, he is pulling her off again, telling her that she is not the same moon season, but a budding rose.

Whenever you are confused, roses and weeds will always meet......

How can this not be exciting?

"What do you say, uncle...... Being with nature makes me feel a long-lost sense of ease, which may be helped by material, realistic and other factors, but more importantly, it is a feeling of being happy with what I encounter and temporarily getting my own......"

Wen Liang finally said slowly, her eyes fixed on He Tianran:

"I've always been a very courageous person, but in real life, it's more like a lonely courage who can't find the way to go, so most of the time, I'm just being dragged forward by the process of life.

Li Bai said, I have never lacked the courage to draw my sword, but I can't avoid the kind of helplessness caused by being at a loss.

It wasn't until I met Nature, even though it didn't seem like we had been together for long, but somehow, with him, the courage in my heart seemed to have found its way, and it became a kind of thing called 'all or nothing'.

A lot of people don't find this kind of thing that can be described as 'all-or-nothing' in their lifetime, do they?

So, I'm really obsessed with this feeling of being with him, he's more like my endless road in life, it's another village on my fate, which makes me have a kind of greed, I want to keep him by my side, I want to be able to see him when I raise my eyes, I want the two of us to go to the future together......

The fact that he has someone he likes makes me sad......

But if I don't give it a 'desperate' try this time, and boldly express my love, but retreat in the face of difficulties and quietly quit, then I think I will be even sadder. ”

Speaking of this, He Tianran was already distracted by Wen Liang's words, and He Panshan was also moved by the little girl in front of him who dared to boldly reveal her heart.

And Wen Liang subconsciously stretched out his hand after saying this......

With a smile on the corner of her mouth, she touched He Tianran's head, as if she wanted to dust off the snow that the wind blew on his hair that day under the snowy mountain.

One is as white as new, and the other is as good as ever.
