"Huh? Now? ”

"What time is it, are you sure it's still open?"

Hearing Qin Yu say that he was going to take Lin Xi to buy pea yellow, Cheng Si was dumbfounded and motioned for Bai Xu to look at the time.

Bai Xu: "It's almost twelve o'clock, and it's already closed." ”

Cheng Si looked at Lin Xi, who had just woken up, "Why did you suddenly want to eat that thing in the middle of the night?" ”

It's not too hard to find this pea yellow at this late hour, and you can buy it in many shops or on the street, so you can definitely find one that's still open.

But the trouble is that Lin Xi is picky, so she recognizes the head office of that time-honored brand, even if it is a branch, she can't get used to it.

None of them like to eat this kind of dim sum and can't taste the difference between the main store and the branch. It's all one family anyway, so what's the difference? But Lin Xi said that only the head office is delicious.

Although they said that they didn't understand, Cheng Si and Bai Xu had already stood up.

Cheng Si was wearing a coat and asked Ruan Dong with his mobile phone, "Isn't his head office not far from your store, do you have a number?" Find one. ”

She didn't move, Qin Yu directly stretched out his hand and led her out.

——

Sitting in the car and being blown by the wind, the waves surging in Lin Xi's heart had receded and gradually subsided.

She knew in her heart that she was the same as back then, and what she wanted to eat was never that piece of pea yellow.

She just wanted to be sure of one thing, just to test their reactions, to fill in the sense of security that had disappeared into her life.

She had always felt that she didn't need this for a long time.

But the loss and emptiness after waking up from that dream gradually coincided with the mood after seeing her brother today, forcing her to quickly recognize the reality.

Everyone is an individual, and there is never anyone in this world who is inseparable from anyone, no matter how good the relationship is. A rift is a rift after all, and it cannot be repaired.

So, she can be disconnected from them for many years, or she can live a good life on her own.

But now, that strong sense of belonging, that blatant preference, is impossible to ignore.

She realized that the source of her sense of security was still them.

After all these years, it has never changed.

She always remembered her brother's words, when her brother was studying in the military academy, because he couldn't come out usually, he told her to go directly to Qin Yu and a few of them if she had something.

At that time, she was only in elementary school.

Many classmates envy her, saying that she has a lot of brothers, and different brothers come to pick her up after school every day. After staying with them for a long time, my brother said that she was getting more and more squeamish, which was all a problem that they were used to.

My brother's words are true.

She has lived in the compound since she was a child, and her parents live outside, and they only see each other once or twice a week. So the ones who usually indulge her the most are them.

Now that I think about it, even Qin Yu, who has the worst temper, has never lost his temper with her at that time.

"Otherwise, forget it." In front, Bai Xu was driving, and Cheng Si was on the phone.

Hearing this, Cheng Si didn't hang up the phone, and replied directly: "Why forget it." I have to let you eat it tonight. ”

"What a hassle." She smiled and said, "It's okay tomorrow, I just said it casually." ”

"It's not like picking stars and asking for the moon, what's the trouble." Cheng Si still hung up, "Just a piece of snack, why wait until tomorrow." ”

"Don't say you want to eat a piece of pea yellow, since you have spoken, then we have to be worthy of this brother."

He turned around and looked at Qin Yu meaningfully, "You said yes, third brother." ”

"If you really want the moon and stars, as long as you say it, I guess we don't need to bother. The third brother will arrange it for you alone. We'll be able to do something like that. ”

"The others are not as good as the third brother."

After hearing his words, Bai Xu laughed suddenly. Cheng Si knew what he meant, gave him a blank look, and motioned for him to shut up.

Lin Xi looked at Qin Yu, but he didn't expect that he was also looking at himself.

The two exchanged glances, and Lin Xi took the lead in looking away.

She didn't speak again, just lowered a section of the car window, leaned on it, and looked out at the bustling Chang'an Avenue.

When they arrived at the place, Bai Xu and Cheng Si got out of the car together.

"Third brother, you and Xixi wait here, let's go in and get it." Cheng Si stopped Lin Xi from getting out of the car with a word.

The surroundings were too quiet, and Lin Xi was a little uncomfortable.

She turned her head sideways and found a topic, "Did you go to see my brother when I wasn't there?" ”

I didn't expect her to ask like this, Qin Yu's expression was blank for a moment, and he replied after a while:

"Yes."

"Are you all together?"

"Well, every year on birthdays and Spring Festival, it will pass on time."

In the past few years, the few times they got together was when they went to see Lin Chen. It was only at that time that there was some communication.

The center of the topic is either Lin Chen or Lin Xi, who can't escape their brother and sister after all.

"Is it the same with my parents? You were quite busy during the Spring Festival. Lin Xi smiled a little bitterly.

Back then, my brother was also going to be buried next to his parents.

But in the end, the grandfather decided to leave his brother in the cemetery and stay with his other comrades.

Therefore, the cemetery where my parents are located and my brother's cemetery are exactly in the opposite direction, across the capital city. If you run into a rush hour, the two sides go back and forth, and the day just passes.

Thinking that the Chinese New Year was a busy time for several of them every year, and they had to spare a day to see her parents and brother, Lin Xi felt sad and funny.

"More than that." Qin Yu seems to be really reminiscing about these years, "During the Spring Festival, I have to go to Linshi." ”

“……”

Oh yes.

Lin Xi remembered that his grandparents had said that the New Year in Qinyu would also pass.

"When do you usually go? Is it the first year of junior high school? ”

"The first night of junior high school passes, and the second night of junior high school returns."

There is a custom here in Beijing that you need to go back to your grandfather's house in the second year of junior high school.

Qin Yu's grandfather is Grandpa Bai, who is in a compound, a two-minute walk away, and he doesn't necessarily have to go over to visit on the second day of junior high school.

So on the second day of junior high school, Qin Yu usually accompanied Lin Xi's grandparents to dinner in Linshi.

I couldn't tell what mood she was in, she asked casually: "Then you are not at home on the first day of junior high school, Grandpa Qin and Grandpa Bai must blame you, did you say that you passed it for me?" ”

"No, it's just two scoldings." His tone wasn't very concerned.

Lin Xi: "......"

She muttered quietly, "Why don't you mention it." If you say anything that is for me, you will not be scolded. ”

Generally speaking, if you know the reason and know that it is because of her, Grandpa Qin and Grandpa Bai will definitely not blame.

"Looking at it this way, I seem to owe the third brother a lot, and I have to find a chance to thank the third brother."

Not to mention anything else, for helping her and her brother take care of the elders, she is really grateful to Qin Yu, he is indeed careful.

"I'm going on a business trip to London next month and should be able to catch an auction. When the third brother arrives, I will take a look at any favorite objects, and I will bring them back to the third brother. ”

"Forget about things." Qin Yu's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest, and her deep gaze locked on her figure: "There is a dinner party that can't be pushed off next week, accompany me to go through the motions?" ”
