Although the delicacies of the mountains and seas are placed in front of him, in Yucheng's opinion, they are just colorful decorations. When you eat, you feel empty, and if you don't eat, you feel cold, and you always feel as if you have lost something, and you don't know how to fill it. More precisely, there is nothing in this world that can really be used to fill the heart. Looking at his brother who was becoming more and more depressed, Yu Qi was anxious. In the past, Yu Cheng would have felt that his sister was as intimate and cute as a little padded jacket, but now he feels that Yu Qi is like an iron chain wrapped around his neck. Pouring out his heartfelt feelings made him even more sad, so he had to pour himself glass after glass, as if this was the only way to forget those annoying bad fates for a while.

Time was passing, and the shabu skewers placed in front of Yu Cheng had already been cold, and Yu Cheng let out a long breath and covered his eyes with his hands. Seeing that his brother looked like he couldn't say anything, Yuqi's eyes were full of tears. Suddenly, the mobile phone rang, and Yu Cheng opened his eyes suddenly. When he saw that it was the avatar of his wife Joo-hyun, Yucheng suddenly felt extremely heavy, shook his hands repeatedly, and finally hung up the phone with a sudden accelerated heartbeat. For Yu Qi, this is also a frightening sound. Especially when she watched her brother hang up three times in a row, a feeling that life was worse than death and everything was empty surrounded her whole body, and she had to look at Yu Cheng with an embarrassed face.

"Isn't it my sister-in-law's phone? Why not? ”

"There's no why, I just don't want to take it."

The brainless grumbling made Yu Qi, who was stirring the pickles, a little overwhelmed. Although she had expected her brother's answer, she still shook her head slowly.

"Brother, your reaction today is so strange!"

Regarding Zhu Xuan, Yu Cheng didn't want to say anything, just blindly buried his head in the strings. But Yu Qi continued to monitor his every move like an owl that could turn its head 240 degrees. Yu Cheng's heart was pounding, and his sluggish mind quickly resumed its rapid operation.

"I really wanted to eat your shabu-shabu. Can't you go home right away after answering the phone? ”

"Sometimes I actually prefer to eat my own shabu-shabu skewers to abalone, aolong, sea cucumber and king crab."

Although Yu Cheng's tone was more decisive than ever, to his sister's eyes, it was like a huge burden covering his entire back. Yu Qi quickly ripped off the apron that made her feel burdened, and the hair that had fallen loose was also curled up, and just as she sat down opposite Yu Cheng, Mingyao's voice came in. Yu Cheng hurriedly turned around to look at his sister's line of sight, and the scene in front of him surprised him, Chengmei actually stood in front of him with Mingyao's ten fingers clasped.

"The proprietress is still the same as the old three, shabu shabu, raw shrimp and honey squid!"

The moment Seungmi raised her head, she clearly saw a dazzling light shooting towards her. In a hurry, Chengmei withdrew her hand from Mingyao's palm. At this moment, Yu Cheng's face was already pale and his eyes were messy. But he didn't dare to stay on Chengmei's face for a long time, so he had to continue to masturbate silently.

"Agent Zheng...", "Why are you still here at such a late hour?" ”

Seungmi stepped cautiously, her face flushed, like a crab dozing in the blazing sun. Ming Yao also hurriedly leaned over to look at Yu Cheng, slapped one hand on his shoulder fiercely, and the corners of his mouth gradually revealed a hint of ridicule.

"Brother, what's going on today? The famous wife is strict and doesn't come home after work? Aren't you afraid of your sister-in-law's check? ”

Yu Cheng raised his head proudly, at this moment the dark sky outside the window was full of stars, and his jewel-like sparkling eyes were even brighter than the starry sky tonight. Ke Mian, who was belated, suddenly understood, and at that moment, everyone except Chengmei and Yucheng laughed like crazy.

"You two are now a couple. Are you in love or have you just decided on a relationship? ”

Mingyao, who was sitting just now, stroked the back of Chengmei's hand like a baby. Yu Cheng was suddenly panicked and at a loss, and the fish balls in his hand fell to his feet, but he still looked at Chengmei unconsciously. Chengmei's face was obviously a little strange, and she hurriedly made a look of wanting to vomit and swallow the fish balls in her mouth. Yu Qi, who was sitting opposite Chengmei, also coughed desperately like cold water stinging his throat. Mingyao smiled mysteriously, leaned into Chengmei's ear and whispered something, Chengmei, who was still with a straight face at first, gradually eased her expression a lot. After the silence returned to the surroundings, Ke Mian stood up with a rough smile on his face.

"No matter how confusing the process is, Mingyao, Brother Ke Mian congratulates you on your upcoming success in joining the married family. And Chengmei, no, it's my brother and sister, I'll toast you first, and from today onwards, the second half of our family Mingyao will be handed over to you. ”

Chengmei sipped the wine with difficulty, and the whole person was like a puppet with no soul and only an empty shell. Yu Cheng looked at her in a daze, his heart was already full of tears, and his deep self-blame made him almost unable to breathe, and he couldn't speak. The shiny liquid kept flowing down Yu Qi's cheeks, and although she was secretly observing her brother's actions, she actually didn't seem to see anything. Seeing that the atmosphere was a little depressing, Ke Mian couldn't help but walk to the middle, grabbed Chengmei and Mingyao's shoulders, and shook them vigorously. At this moment, Ming Yao directly forced him to look at him with the kind of gaze that wanted to swallow him alive.

"Let it go, stinky boy! Look what you've scared my Seungmi into! ”

Ke Mian suddenly withdrew his hand, the corners of his mouth continued to tilt upward, and he smiled and scratched his head.

"Brother and sister, don't mind, my biggest shortcoming is that I am stupid, especially on this happy occasion, I don't know how to do it. I'd better punish myself with a drink! ”

Yu Cheng's hair was heavily entangled in the corners of his forehead, and the neckline of his shirt was a little messy, but he could still see his unique elegant temperament. Especially at this moment, his eyes are full of sadness, and the look of staring at Chengmei stupidly is particularly moving. Yu Qi has been gritting his teeth and enduring it. At this moment, there was not the slightest worry in Mingyao's eyes, like a newborn child, staring hard at Chengmei who made his heart pound. At the moment when Seung-mi turned around and clinked glasses with him, Mingyao smiled silently, and her heart was also intoxicated by the sense of victory.

"Chengmei, congratulations on finally making a wise choice, I really admire you."

Yu Qi's body was trembling, like a tender branch trembling in the wind. But there was a warm smile on his face. Especially when the wine dripped down the corner of the mouth and fell to the ground, it exuded a bold and rough magnetic field. In order not to let himself have more unrealistic ideas, Yu Cheng had no choice but to purse his lips and smile in agreement. And in the whole toasting process, only Ming Yao and Ke Mian were the only two people who monitored Yucheng, and before Mingyao had time to make a rational judgment like Ke Mian, he couldn't wait to raise his glass to Yucheng.

"Today is the most glorious moment in my life, isn't Brother Yucheng, who has been a friend for ten years, going to say a few words?"

"For a while, I really can't think of what to say, so let's just clink glasses with you, and the blessings are all in the wine."

Yu Cheng endured the reluctance in his heart, raised his neck and drank it all. At the moment when he solemnly showed the empty cup, Chengmei's eyes widened, as if only the gurgling tears were telling Yucheng that he was resonating strongly with him.

Seeing his brother and Chengmei, who were completely like a different person, Yuqi also felt a heart-rending pain. She hurriedly glanced at her husband, and out of instinct, Ke Mian raised her glass to Mingyao with a smile, but he ruthlessly threw it away. Just a few seconds later, Ming Yao whispered softly into Yu Cheng's eyes, still with that weird smile on his face.

"Brother advises you not to force yourself, you have been wandering since just now. Why am I not to your liking with Seung-mi? ”

Yu Qi's mouth couldn't help but let out a silent exclamation, and Ke Mian hurriedly covered his eyes with his hands. Seongmi lowered her head and listened to Mingyao's light but powerful voice, as if someone was holding the tip of a knife against her neck. At this time, the silence around is eerily silent, and it feels extremely desolate. Ke Mian pondered for a while, and when he met Mingyao's gaze again, Ke Mian kept shaking his head and laughing as if he was stupid.

"Mingyao! Say you just don't admit it! Isn't it the closest person around you who can't see you? Brother and sister, don't be careful, when I was with Yuqi, my eldest brother did a lot of things that hurt others and didn't benefit himself. After a while, you will be able to understand our pain. ”

As soon as the words fell, Ke Mian's gaze moved slowly and gently on everyone's faces, as if enjoying a feast of beauty. Yu Cheng felt as if his teeth were broken, but his expression was hard, like pottery spanning thousands of years. Mingyao suddenly opened his eyes wide, and this time Yu Cheng finally couldn't help laughing.

"Mingyao, Chengmei, congratulations! I hope you will make the good news public at the branch soon. ”

Yucheng's answer was not wrong at all, but Chengmei was completely desperate. Her tearful eyes revealed a tragedy that could never be erased. Perhaps it was the strong collision of his heart that made Ming Yao laugh out loud, and he quickly turned around and aimed at Yu Cheng with a gentle gaze that was different from the past.

"Brother, look me in the eye and tell me if you mean the truth this time?"

After being silent for a long time, Mingyao finally spoke. The tone was cold enough to freeze everything around him.

Yu Cheng slowly approached Mingyao's eyes, his eyes were full of affection. At the same time, as if to say, the matter has come to this point, or give up. Yu Qi carefully slanted at Chengmei, Chengmei's expression was cold but hidden pain, like Mingyao who was grabbing her neckline hard. Among the group, only Ke Mian kept smiling and looking at each other. Perhaps he didn't expect such a situation to happen between Mingyao and Yu Cheng, Ke Mian's mouth also smiled a little stiffly.

Suddenly, Yu Cheng's smile disappeared, and Mingyao didn't dare to squeak again, his eyes were full of surprise.

Yu Cheng forcibly suppressed the rapid heartbeat and said earnestly to Ming Yao.

"Of course it's true, in my heart, I have always regarded you and Ke Mian as brothers, so I will care about it. I hope you don't hold a grudge against me. Then I'll punish myself with another drink. ”

"Uncle, don't be like this, I was just joking, I didn't mean to blame you."

Yu Cheng turned his head to look at Ke Mian when he heard the voice, his eyes contained indescribable warmth, and Ke Mian and Yu Qi responded to him with more than simple concern. This warmth quickly penetrated into the depths of Yu Cheng's dry heart, causing tears to ripple in the corners of his eyes.

"I know. But I just like to tell the truth. Mingyao, just for the ten-year friendship between you and me, I will respect you again. ”

"Then you can help us cover up from now on, and I will treat the unpleasantness before as if it never happened."

After a glass of wine, Mingyao's mood became more complicated, and he looked at Gujing Wubo's Yucheng in a daze. The two people looked at each other silently, looking like a pair of amorous lovers.

The stars outside the window seemed to be covered with thorns, and they were tightly wrapped in the cold clouds, and when they saw this scene, Yu Cheng and Chengmei's eyes suddenly burst into tears, as if they were about to roll down. Looking at Yu Cheng's skinny and haggard appearance, Yu Qi once again felt a heart-wrenching pain.

"Brother and sister, you and Mingyao are both older young people, isn't there a need to be in love for too long?"

Ke Mian tilted his head and asked, he had already crossed the line that should not be crossed, Yu Qi's lips trembled, and the sudden anger made her almost unable to control the balance of her body. But Ke Mian did not show weakness and continued to add intently.

"I think you should simply choose an auspicious day of the zodiac and get your card back. This autumn or next spring or summer is perfect for wearing a wedding dress. ”

"What the hell, shut up!"

Ke Mian turned around and looked in the direction where the cold voice came from, only to see Yu Qi glaring at him with extremely sharp eyes.

"What are you hitting me for? I'm overdoing it again! And, if there is something good in the family, can't I be happy with it? ”

Yu Qi couldn't stop the anger rising in her heart, and reached out to grab her husband's hand again, and pressed him like a dog on the messy table.

Ke Mian's half-body seemed to be tied by a rope, his eyes were red and he looked at Yu Cheng, panting with difficulty. At that moment, Chengmei saw Yucheng's extremely dim eyes, and her heart couldn't help but feel sour again. Ming Yao looked at the silhouette of Yu Qi and Ke Mian playing in a daze, and almost said something that was close to his mouth. But he understands that Seungmi is a woman who makes all men feel excited when they see it. Thinking of this, Ming Yao couldn't wait to immediately pull Chengmei's slender arm into his arms...

Outside the window, a petal was blown off by the wind, and it was blown away by the wind for a long time. At this moment, Yu Qi's ten fingers in the shared voice food stall have left deep marks on Ke Mian's forehead, nose and cheeks...

"I think you two should have a relationship and don't have too much psychological burden. As for engagement, marriage, and so on, leave it to time. After Yu Qi finished speaking, Ke Mian leaned his face on her shoulder.

"Wife, I can't get any interest from you when you say that. The way Seung-mi and Ming-yao looked at each other and smiled when they entered the door made me unconsciously bring my feelings into the two years before we got married. ”

As if intoxicated by the gentle fragrance of flowers, Yu Qi didn't say a word, just stared at Ke Mian with deep eyes. After a while, she stared back at Ke Mian with mocking eyes and crooked mouth.

"Husband, in fact, our wedding anniversary is this weekend."

"Really? Then I'll call your mother-in-law right now and ask her to pick up the baby on Friday. ”

"She has agreed, and I have booked a villa in Qinggang."

Ke Mian's eyebrows fluttered and he laughed, at first glance, he had a feeling that he was cheap and obedient, but on the other hand, Yu Qi still looked like a dumb man eating honey, and his heart was sweet but indescribable. That's it, Mingyao and Chengmei, you look at me, I look at you, they stared at each other for a long time, and finally Yucheng, his eyes were not out of desire, nor sympathy, but full of deep regret.

"Villa? It's too much of a luxury to only have two people in it. Why don't we go together in pairs? ”

Ke Mian raised his voice and proposed.

"It really sounds like a college student team building, which should be very exciting."

"That's what I want for this retro and romantic feel. How do you think it's awesome? ”

Ke Mian's sharp laughter swept over everyone present, only Yu Qi sighed and lowered his head as if he was confused by something.

"Actually, the thought of my sister-in-law going with me makes my scalp tingle and something is wrong."

Seungmi looked at Yu Cheng and Yu Qi motionlessly, as if trying to figure out the strange atmosphere between the two. At this time, Yu Qi complained angrily again.

"The last time we met was on my brother's fifth wedding anniversary, there is really no worse memory than this, my mother and I are not used to knives and forks, we are not used to drinking foreign wine, and we can't figure out the cooking of steaks, and my sister-in-law's friends insinuated and ridiculed us, and to this day I clearly remember the way my sister-in-law looked at me, which was even more heart-piercing than her group of friends."

Looking at Yu Qi, who was covering his chest and panting, Ming Yao hurriedly picked up a glass of water on the table and handed it to her. But she shook her head, with no intention of stopping. Ke Mian only felt that his throat was blocked in one breath, and he carefully teased Yu Qi a few times, Yu Qi rolled his eyes, and approached Yu Cheng closely.

"Because my sister-in-law will pay my mother's living expenses on your behalf every month, she will be at the mercy of her sister-in-law like an angry little daughter-in-law. Go back and tell her, don't use those tricks on me, our family doesn't owe her anything! In the face of my sister-in-law's condescending attitude, I converted all the birthday gifts she gave me into cash and doubled them back to her. You also know that our family is a small business, and it really hurts me. So brother, next time I ask you to stop my sister-in-law, otherwise I would rather give her back the money from the store I had put all my heart and soul into. ”

Perhaps it was Yu Qi's solemn words that erected a hard barrier between Yu Cheng and her, Yu Cheng didn't speak, just nodded silently. Ke Mian insisted on not letting Yu Qi continue to vent, and turned her body around.

"Yuqi! Your love-hate personality has really changed, how can everyone in the world be in tune with you? Even close relatives who are related by blood will part ways one day. Sister-in-law, brother, parents, even the children who grow up are not all the way is quite normal, we have to learn to accept it after all. ”

"That's right, but sister-in-law is not what you said! Do I have to serve the princess when I'm full? ”

Yu Qi, who didn't know how to vent his hatred and resentment, directly passed on all the burden to Ke Mian. Ke Mian sighed and imprisoned Yu Qi's shoulders, but Yu Qi ignored Ke Mian's concerned gaze at all, and covered his eyes with a tissue, Ke Mian gently brushed the back of her hand, and Yu Qi covered her ears with both hands.

"Wife, you can save your worries, the princess will be served by this lifelong housekeeper."

Yu Qi struggled to withdraw the hand that was grabbed by Ke Mian. Ke Mian pushed a little harder, and pinned her whole person behind her like a koala.

"I don't think the two of us will be able to go, it's a bit difficult for two days and two nights. Seung-mei has to take care of her mother and sister. ”

"I don't have a problem! This weekend, my mother is going to take my sister to my aunt's house. So I'm free. ”

Mingyao's gaze was very gentle, and Chengmei's response was still a resolute and commanding tone.

"Can you really go? Seungmi, I'm so happy today. ”

"Why is it an empty bottle, who took the wrong bottle just now, Yuqi? It's still Brother Ke Mian! ”
