In the evening, Xu Mengzhou accompanied Lin Yushan to the milk tea shop to return the three-wheeled battery car, and then went to a nearby optical store to urgently buy a few pairs of daily disposable contact lenses.

Lin Yushan habitually looked in the rearview mirror, and the man's eyes became radiant again, and she was a little obsessed.

She stared aimlessly out the window at the street, dazzled by the flashing of billboards. Originally, I wanted to say something to him face to face, but I still didn't have the courage to do so.

Xu Mengzhou drove her all the way back to Xingyuan Community, and when they were halfway up the stairs, they smelled the aroma of food. Lin Yushan walked to the door and took out the key to open the door, and a table of dishes full of color and fragrance came into view.

Yao Qing heard the sound of the door opening, wiped her hands on her apron and wiped the living room to see the situation. Sure enough, Lin Yushan came back, and there was Xu Mengzhou in sportswear standing next to her.

Yao Qing's eyelids moved, and she beckoned, "Huh? Are you back together? Why don't you give notice in advance, this dish is not enough... Such. You guys come in and sit down, and I'll go to the vegetable market and buy some braised vegetables and come back. ”

"No more trouble."

Lin Yushan originally wanted him to stay here for dinner, but before he could say anything, the man had already given the answer.

"Brother, then be careful on the way back." didn't force Xu Mengzhou to stay, she raised her head to meet the man's bright eyes, and said with a smile: "If you hadn't accompanied me to find a car for an afternoon today, I'm afraid I would have to lose more than a month's salary... It's strange why I always owe you a favor, and it feels like it's not over at all......"

Xu Mengzhou was stunned, a faint light flashed in his eyes, and his mood was complicated.

After a while, the man curled the corners of his lips slightly reluctantly, and said in his usual warm voice: "Don't think about it, we don't have to worry about this." ”

"Go eat it, the food will be cold soon." Xu Mengzhou stood at the door and waved at her, motioning for her to come in.

Lin Yushan nodded. The two looked at each other one last time through the small crack in the door, and Xu Mengzhou turned around and went downstairs.

Closing the door, Lin Yushan changed his shoes and went to the kitchen to help Yao Qing.

"It's the last stir-fried greens, Yushan, can you help me get it? I went to the living room to blow the fan for a while, it was really hot. Yao Qing took off her apron and handed it to Lin Yushan, took out a tissue on the countertop to wipe her sweat, and walked towards the living room while fanning the wind with her hand.

"Okay." She took the apron from Yao Qing's hand, tied it around her waist, and then picked up the small greens in the plastic bag and put them in the vegetable washing basket. She expertly peels off the moth-eaten leaves by hand, turns on the faucet and rinses them, allowing the water to carry away the rotten parts.

Lin Yushan originally had unrealistic expectations for this summer vacation.

Looking forward to Xu Mengzhou's work, I look forward to having more opportunities to meet him. But in the past month, it seems that there is no difference from before.

They usually send WeChat to each other occasionally, and Xu Mengzhou sends her a lot, but it is mainly concerned about life, and every time she clicks to the end, she never asks more.

Lin Yushan sighed. Finally, stir-fry the vegetables in the pot a few times, turn off the heat, use a spatula to remove them and put them on a plate, and bring them into the living room.

"What's going on today? The face seems to be bad. Yao Qing was setting the dishes and chopsticks and asked worriedly, "Is that symptom coming back again?" ”

Lin Yushan shook his head with a smile, held her shoulders and sat down: "No, let's eat quickly." ”

Yao Qing asked, "By the way, what is the situation between you and your brother today?" Playing ball? I remember you didn't have to go to work in the morning? ”

She told Yao Qing all the things that had happened throughout the day, and seeing that Yao Qing was stunned when she heard it, Lin Yushan relaxed a little after talking.

"It's all like this, why don't you hurry up." Yao Qing was anxious, picked up a piece of ribs and stuffed it into her mouth: "Look, the age difference between the two of you is eleven years, which means that there is not much time left for you to take the initiative." If you don't move, others will act before you! Look at his female colleagues, how many people take the initiative to create opportunities! If you wait like this, your brother will be taken down by someone else soon. ”

Yao Qing continued to talk eloquently: "My cousin in my hometown is Chinese New Year's Eve five today, and I haven't even talked about a few objects before. My uncle was in a hurry to introduce him to one, and the two got married in less than a month. ”

Lin Yushan listened silently, picked up the soup spoon and scooped himself a bowl of soup, picked up the bowl and gently cooled it.

She knows the particularity of Xu Mengzhou's family. Although Xu Mengzhou's last marriage ended, it does not mean that he will not enter the next marriage at all.

However, when she heard the example of Cousin Yao Qing, she still felt that there was no shortage of such possibilities. After all, Xu Mengzhou and Huang Ying had a flash marriage before.

"He's been rejecting me on the subject of age, and when he says that, I can't argue with it. I'll ...... him," Lin Yushan smiled bitterly, "We are so familiar with each other, he has watched me grow up almost since I was thirteen years old." It's impossible to change a person's mindset......"

Yao Qing asked: "Then when the two of you are together, do you feel that he hates you and resists you?" ”

“… Not really. Lin Yushan thought for a moment. Xu Mengzhou rejected her disqualification, but he didn't seem to show disgust.

"As long as he doesn't reject you!" Yao Qing raised a satisfied smile: "Concepts and everything will change." For example, there are some Dinks on the Internet, who swore that they didn't want children, but after a few years, they regretted it after a change of concept. So as long as he doesn't reject you, you have room to work hard! ”

Yao Qing was completely immersed in her own analysis, and simply put down her chopsticks, "Think about it, since he doesn't reject you, do you want to find something more to 'annoy' him?" For example, if you see a cute puppy on the side of the road, take a picture of him, and share it with him whether he encounters happy or sad things, he has cared about you for so many years, how can he be annoying to you? ”

"Yushan, don't feel like you're a burden to others, sometimes the relationship between people is 'trouble'. We haven't known each other for long, and I can tell that you're a guy who isn't used to asking for help for anything. ”

"But do you know what I'm thinking? When you ask me for help, I don't feel annoyed at all, but I am happy. Because you're my best friend! This proves that I am you needing. Not only will it not consume friendship, but it will make our relationship stronger and stronger! People's feelings flow with each other, and since you like him, you should talk to him more and express it. Maybe one day he will get used to it, and in the end he won't be able to do without you! ”

Yao Qing's words touched Lin Yushan's tear ducts. A few months ago, she didn't dare to hope that she would make such sincere friends in the last two years of her college life.

In fact, up to now, she and Xu Mengzhou still continue the previous model of 'meeting when there is something'.

Lin Yushan blinked, she regretted it.

She should have told Xu Mengzhou her true words before he went downstairs.

After dinner, since today's meal was made by Yao Qing, Lin Yushan took the initiative to take over the work of washing dishes.

She was busy in the kitchen, Yao Qing was curled up on the sofa in the living room, tearing open a pack of triangular crispy bones and eating, the third season of China was playing on the TV, and the bustling sound reached her ears, but Lin Yushan didn't feel noisy at all, only felt relieved.

"Yushan, the triangle bone I bought in Pinduoduo has arrived. It's delicious! We'll both eat together when you're done! ”

"Good!" Lin Yushan turned around.

It turned out that she had never experienced the feeling of being grounded, so she thought she was enjoying solitude.

Lin Yushan came out of the kitchen after washing the dishes, and the two best friends chatted while watching TV. As the night grew darker, the two cleaned up the messy tabletop, and then took a shower and went back to their bedrooms.

There was an occasional cicada chirping outside the window, Lin Yushan changed into pajamas and lay on the bed, took out his mobile phone and clicked on the WeChat dialog box with Xu Mengzhou, typed a line of words and deleted it. She covered her forehead and put the phone down, turning over tangledly.

In a moment, she lifted the blanket and sat up from the bed and took out her phone again.

-----

The next day, Xu Mengzhou woke up from bed, and WeChat was still stuffed with all kinds of messages.

He rubbed his messy hair, leaned over to get the rimless glasses on the bedside table, and grabbed a fluffy pillow and put it on the headboard and his waist. Adjust to the most comfortable position, sit down, take out your mobile phone, open WeChat, and read it one by one.

The parent group and teacher group that have been refreshing the news at the top are the parent group, and then the work group of the new energy group.

Forget it, let's see it after these washes.

His finger continued to slide down, and there was a new message prompting a red dot in Lin Yushan's dialog box, and he clicked it directly.

……

Xu Mengzhou didn't know how long he had been sitting quietly on the edge of the bed, until he was interrupted by a ringtone, it was Xu's father who called and asked him to continue his trip to Xinneng Group today. He casually said that he had something to do today and couldn't go.

After washing, the man took out a towel to wipe his face, and WeChat still kept popping up a message prompt. He frowned and put his phone on silent mode.

Xu Mengzhou returned to the living room and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window that looked like a huge plant specimen, his squinted eyes were unpredictable.

After a while, he picked up his mobile phone and dialed Lu Kun's number.

"Why, you finally remembered to call me?" The phone was connected, and Lu Kun's voice was a little complaining, "Wasn't it very chic when you left the stadium yesterday?" ”

Xu Mengzhou knew that he was angry, so he had to make amends first: "... I should have made it clear to you yesterday before going out, sorry. What happened to you and Teacher Xiao Chen? ”

"Alas, I won't mention it myself, anyway, people's mood is quite low, I invited Teacher Xiao Chen to have a meal and then sent her home......" Lu Kun sighed first, and then his tone changed and said suspiciously: "But Lao Xu, what are you doing with that Xiaoyu in your family, why are the two of them still acting in front of me?" ”
