was so cold and politely thrown two words, Shang Mingbao was stunned, but he was not angry.

"You're in a bad mood?" She stopped him, and automatically found an answer to his unusual indifference: "The ...... just now Is it your dad? Did you quarrel? ”

Xiang Feiran pinched his cigarette at his fingertips, and smiled playfully when he heard the words.

"Sister," he called her in a good voice, but the distance in his eyes was 108,000 miles, "you don't seem to be qualified to meddle with me." ”

Shang Mingbao was stunned, as if someone had poured a basin of cold water on her head, and the innocent and unguarded smile that belonged to her alone froze on her face.

He didn't seem to welcome her back at all, not surprised, not surprised, not caring.

After the blank blank, Shang Mingbao became cramped, his gaze could not withstand his cold scrutiny, and hung to his toes in embarrassment, "You misunderstood, I didn't mean that...... I ......"

Xiang Feiran cut off her incoherent words and pressed the cigarette against the wall: "See you later." ”

He walked as soon as he walked by, passing by Shang Mingbao's side without paying attention to her.

Shang Mingbao tried to hold back the trembling and shouted to him: "Xiang Feiran! ”

Neither of them thought that the first time she called him by his full name would be like this.

Xiang Feiran's back paused for a moment, waiting for her next.

"What are you, why are you talking to me like that?" Shang Mingbao's mouth was deflated and deflated, and her eyes were quickly covered with a layer of mist, making her unable to see his expression clearly, "If it weren't for the sake of you saving me......

Although this sentence was deliberately said to be annoying, it also had the desired effect.

Xiang Feiran hooked his lips silently, and when he spoke, his voice was inexplicably hoarse: "Shang Mingbao, you don't need to look down on this matter so much. ”

Fang Suining came out wearing a dry hair hat after taking a shower, and wanted to see the handful of wild flowers in the vase, but he didn't expect to go around and find people and flowers. It wasn't until I leaned over from the balcony that I noticed the bouquet of flowers scattered by a goddess on the backyard lawn, and they had been so easily thrown away, the petals and berries scattered everywhere, and had been wilted by the midday sun.

When I went downstairs, I saw Shang Mingbao sitting on a bench in the courtyard like no one, but he didn't do anything, just in a daze, and he didn't even notice that anyone was approaching.

"Why did you throw away the flowers?" Fang Suining sat down beside her, removed the dry hair cap, and brushed the half-dried black hair with his fingers.

The sun was fine, and Shang Mingbao reacted very slowly, and only after a while did he respond: "It's not good-looking, I'm tired of watching it." ”

Which flowers are not good-looking, it is clearly not good-looking. But Fang Suining didn't get to the bottom of it, just thought it was the pea princess and princess, and didn't think too much.

After sitting under the shade of the tree for a long time, Fang Suining's hair was almost dried, she jumped out of the chair, "Okay, let's go and see how Aunt Lan's five-fingered peach is stewed!" ”

Xiang Lianqiao went to Beijing to attend the meeting, took away the driver and assistant, and only the two little girls were left to eat at noon. It was almost eleven o'clock now, and the dishes should be almost ready, but the two of them didn't smell any fresh soup. When they entered the kitchen, the five-fingered peach they had worked so hard to pull back was hung on the ground, and Xiang Feiran was squatting on the side.

Shang Mingbao's face froze, and his steps were light.

She wasn't ready to meet him yet.

Fang Suining: "Huh? "Brother Feiran, when did you come back?" ”

asked again: "Aunt Lan, why didn't you stew soup?" ”

Xiang Feiran clapped his hands and got up: "Who do you want to poison?" ”

Aunt Lan kept soothing her heart, looking frightened: "Oh, my Suining ancestor, what kind of five-fingered peach are you, it's a broken intestine grass!" ”

"Ah???h Fang Suining was bluffed, and he was indeed a tiger, he didn't believe it, and swore and said: "Impossible, I know the five-fingered peach, you don't come to act to deceive me." ”

"I've taught you the mix of hook kiss and thick leaf ficus before, and you forgot."

Hook kiss is the official Chinese name, and broken gut grass is a common name called by the locals, and it can be heard from the name that it is highly poisonous. Because it is mixed with the "five-fingered peach" coarse-leaved ficus, when picking, people who don't understand it are easy to confuse the root system of the two, and the roots of the hook kiss are also cut off together.

Aunt Lan didn't dare to speak loudly, her face was pale and she muttered: "The Yan family shovels......"

Fang Suining hugged his head in horror: "I'm grass, escaped death?" ”

Xiang Feiran glanced at her: "No thanks." ”

Fang Suining: "God bless, why did you suddenly think to come and take a look?" ”

"Miss, no one is more familiar with this mountain than me, you two ......" His eyes naturally brought Shang Mingbao, and he paused almost imperceptibly before continuing: "...... I know better than you where I can go and where I can pick the coarse leaf ficus. ”

Shang Mingbao was swept away by his gaze, his expression and bones were very stiff, but his heart was very soft.

I thought to myself, if you say a soft word, I will be merciful and forgive you.

"Ahh ”

People will always unconsciously become a lot of words after experiencing a frightening moment, Xiang Feiran no longer participates in the gossip of the two of them, and passes by the silent Shang Mingbao's side.

His footsteps stopped for a moment, and Shang Mingbao's heart hung in the air.

But once again he walked out of her without looking at her, as if she were transparent in this room.

The kitchen was dimly lit, with only a few small windows open, and in the parallel pillars of light, white smoke and floating dust were filled. Shang Mingbao felt that his eyes were probably smoked by the firewood in the stove, which is why he was so hot and dry.

When it was time for lunch, only Fang Suining was the only one at the huge dining table who was in a daze at the table of dishes.

"I said, Shang Mingbao doesn't eat it, and Brother Feiran doesn't eat it either?" She asked Aunt Lan.

Aunt Lan gave her the undersea coconut lean meat soup, "He's busy, it's not that you don't know." ”

Regarding the fact that Xiang Weishan had come over in the morning, Aunt Lan knew the balance and didn't say a word.

Fang Suining ate lunch alone alone, took a nap lonely, and brushed the rolls all afternoon. When it was time for dinner, I found that she was the only one on the table, and I instantly felt that something was not quite right.

Aunt Lan also asked worriedly: "Mingbao's health is not good, can she withstand her illness like this?" ”

Fang Suining put down his chopsticks, didn't knock on Shang Mingbao's door, and went directly to the door of Xiang Feiran's study like a whirlwind.

Xiang Feiran was waiting for the server to complete the assembly of the RNA transcriptome sequencing data of the gentian sample, and when he heard Fang Suining's voice, he was slightly distracted and said, "Please come in."

Fang Suining had a little art of speaking, and said in a roundabout way: "Brother Feiran, aren't you hungry?" ”

Xiang Feiran didn't say three or four sentences all day, and as soon as he spoke, his voice was cold: "Cultivating immortals." ”

"Hey," Fang Suining sighed very, very long and heavyly: "You cultivate immortals, Shang Mingbao also cultivates immortals, what's the matter, you two picked up the secret of martial arts and forgot to share it with me?" ”

Xiang Feiran put down the steel-colored mug and glanced at her: "What's wrong with her?" ”

"She said that the school was going to hand in a report and locked herself in her room for seven or eight hours." Fang Suining sighed for a long time: "But I think someone must have made her unhappy, she was sullen all day today." ”

Outside the words, he pointed at him with his eyes.

Xiang Feiran reflected expressionlessly for a second. He was never narcissistic, nor was he sentimental, and soon he had an objective judgment in his heart: he didn't have that weight to make her unhappy, and it should be someone else who provoked her.

For example, boyfriends.

For example, after breaking up with him in the morning, my boyfriend happened to touch the mold, so the couple quarreled, which made matters worse.

Xiang Feiran was lukewarm: "So? ”

"So go and persuade her, or coax her." Fang Suining instigated: "She is such a polite and educated person, she must be angry that she has locked herself up in our house for so long." ”

Can't coax a little.

Especially coaxing other people's girlfriends.

Fang Suining sighed again: "She didn't eat in the morning, and she was in a hurry to go up the mountain, so she drank a glass of milk and ate half a croissant." ”

The croissant is small enough, and it looks quite full and full of puff pastry, not to mention that it's only half? The birds have bigger appetites than her.

Xiang Feiran: "I knew I was going to take her up the mountain, why didn't I let her eat more?" ”

Fang Suining: "Huh? ”

I'm grass, how can this pot still turn sharply to my head?

She had no choice but to put her arms around him and pull him up: "I don't care, you go and coax!" She's not in good health and has just been discharged from the hospital, what if something happens? ”

Xiang Feiran's mood of forcing himself to stay out of the matter disappeared in this sentence, paused the backstage progress and saved, then picked up his coat and got up, and left with Fang Suining.

"I don't want to coax people, you know in your heart, you really can't be stunned and fed."

Fang Suining: "......"

Yours is the real thing.

Shang Mingbao did complete a report requested by the school, but it only took half an hour, and it took her a whole afternoon. Aunt Lan came over and invited her twice, she knew that it was very rude to be a guest at someone else's house and miss three meals, but Xiang Lianqiao was not there, and she indulged herself. Aunt Lan once divided the meal into small portions, and after an hour, she brought out the untouched, cold tray.

Of course, Fang Suining has also come to her a few times, she tried very hard to pretend to be in a good mood, I don't know if she was seen through by Suining.

When there was a knock on the door, Shang Mingbao held a painted pencil, lowered his eyes to write and draw on a piece of white paper, and said, "I'm not hungry." ”

Xiang Feiran: "Okay." ”

turned around to leave, but was quickly pulled by Fang Suining's eyes.

"What are you going to do?" Fang Suining was furious, "Get in and coax me!" ”

It's him?

With a snap, the painted pencil she threw rolled off the edge of the desk and fell to the ground.

She didn't bother to pick it up, sat back at the head of the bed and picked up a book casually, her breath gasping slightly with a series of movements.

Now that you know it's time to apologize? It's late, she has become a cold and ruthless, not happy with things, not sad for herself, empty-eyed and escaped into the empty door, locked her heart, loves and can't laugh and won't be happy!

Hey, the book is reversed.

After taking the collection of essays in simplified Chinese characters in order, through the door, Xiang Feiran's cold voice came: "Shang Mingbao, I'm in." ”

Under the chandelier of calendula, a girl in a white lace pajama leaned against the head of the bed, her long hair shawl, and her pale face looked calm.

Her heartbeat was fast and slow, suddenly very light, suddenly very heavy, and the tranquility on the surface whitewashed the trembling in the veins.

The second I saw him come in, I wanted to cry.

Not weakness, not seeking comfort, but - he was her grievance itself.

Seeing him, she finally faced up to the grievances and sadness she had escaped for an afternoon. The grievance drowned her like a tsunami, so she couldn't breathe well and felt that the tip of her nose was sour as if she had been filled with water, which was so natural; Then she felt that her vision was hazy as if she was separated by water vapor, which was so natural.

With a click, the door was ruthlessly closed by Xiang Feiran, blocking Fang Suining's view as he tried to watch.

Xiang Feiran has never done such a thing as coaxing girls, let alone coaxing other people's girlfriends, and he doesn't know where to start for a while.

The scale is also difficult to grasp. Standing too serious, sitting on the edge of the bed without measure, sitting in a swivel chair like an elder to talk.

After thinking about it, he could only squat down, put one hand on his knee and the other on the edge of the bed, cleared his throat, and said a failed opening sentence: "Listen to Sui Ning, you haven't eaten for a day?" ”

How did he know that such a mediocre and teaching director's opening remarks had a miraculous effect, Shang Mingbao's eyes fell with a line of tears.

Xiang Feiran was also stunned. Why did you make someone else's girlfriend cry as soon as you came up?

Fang Suining is an iron-blooded female warrior, and she has been fighting with him for more than ten years, except for crying and pretending to cry, she is crying and complaining at the same time, like Shang Mingbao's silent crying method, Xiang Feiran has never seen it.

He stood up, rolled his Adam's apple, and whispered a sentence: "I'll go find Fang Suining......"

Before he could turn around, he was surrounded by Shang Mingbao's waist.

She knelt on the soft bed, her desperate movements brought out the warm wind in the bed, and the three-piece lace loungewear coat slipped from one shoulder.

The rolling of the Adam's apple was suspended, replaced by an itch that was more wanted to swallow for another. Xiang Feiran seemed to be frozen, and his half-raised hands could not fall for a long time.

"You ......" he ended with a deep, burning voice, at the end of an unfinished deep breath.

"Shang Mingbao, you can't do this." After a moment, he spoke with a very calm sound, his gaze resting on the top of her hair.

Shang Mingbao couldn't resist the urge to cry, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he quickly deflated into an equal sign, "Why are you ......?"

Xiang Feiran just let her hold it, and her thin waist under the T-shirt was tightly warmed by her arms.

"How am I?" There was a rare gentleness in his dullness, as if he was humbly asking for advice.

"Why do you kill me, why can't you see me...... Why don't you apologize to me......" Shang Mingbao burst into tears, and he cried for half a sentence, and her aggressive questioning was choked by her and turned into a complaint.

Xiang Feiran sighed very deeply: "Why did I murder you?" ”

"You say......" Shang Mingbao wanted to list the evidence, but it was difficult for her to repeat that sentence at all, just thinking about it, she felt that her heart was clenched, and she choked several times before she finished speaking: "...... Say, "Why should I meddle with you......?"

Crying so loudly.

I can't think she's crying cutely at this time, and I feel morally inadequate.

Xiang Feiran reasoned: "What I'm saying is that you don't seem qualified to meddle with me. ”

After a pause, "There is a difference between emotions and meanings, and you don't want to add severity without permission." ”

"There is no difference!"

“…… Good, good, good. "He's losing and retreating.

"Is it nosy to just ask?" Shang Mingbao couldn't control his crying and hiccups.

"If you just ask casually, of course it's nosy."

Shang Mingbao whimpered: "Huh? ”

She cried so hard that she was starved of oxygen, and her head turned very slowly: "Well, what if...... Isn't it just a casual question? ”

The night was as dark as the sky, and the marigolds in the room were reflected in the glass of the windowsill, and also on the deep face of Xiang Feiran hanging slightly, with a vague, point-to-point tenderness.

"Thank you for your concern, but there are some things I can't do and just talk to people." He finally replied in a compromise manner.

Fang Suining outside the door scratched his ears and cheeks, what! What the hell are you talking about? How can this door be so soundproofed!

Shang Mingbao: "Then can you tell me in the future?" ”

"Yes," Xiang Feiran's delaying tactic was so appropriate: "If there is a future." ”

Shang Mingbao's tears began to surge again: "Then why did you see me and pretend not to see it." ”

Xiang Feiran humbly asked for advice again: "Is there one?" ”

He's not in a good mood today, either. The scientific research dog who was in a bad mood could only run data, so he fed the server a bunch of data, and he never went out at all, nor did he have a chance to see her.

"You have ......"

"When?"

"When I ...... in the kitchen"

It turned out to be here. Xiang Feiran is like a server that is written into data and commands, and starts to automatically run the reaction program.

"I don't know what kind of poisonous weed it is, and I didn't make it wrong on purpose......" She explained like a child to an adult, explaining that she didn't mean it.

Xiang Feiran paused: "No one blames you, it's not your fault." ”

"But you turned a blind eye to me." Shang Mingbao had a heart attack, and his tears were like hot water opening the floodgates. At that time, where she stood at that time, listening to their words, she only felt that she was a dispensable, transparent shadow.

"I've got you covered."

Shang Mingbao's heart stopped: "You didn't." ”

"Really. When you speak, when you say which mountain you and Fang Suining will go to, you think about it again. Xiang Feiran casually pinpointed which word and which sentence.

Shang Mingbao didn't buy it: "I don't remember." ”

"Maybe it's because ......" Xiang Feiran lowered his gaze: "You didn't look at me." ”

The heart twitched uncontrollably, tingling with a tingle that flooded into the limbs. This is a feeling that is completely different from the speed of the room, what is the difference, Shang Mingbao can't say. All she knew was that she was like a quicksand bag, with something flowing slowly and hotly from her limbs.

Her tears subsided, she closed her eyes, and her voice rustled sweetly.

"Then you apologize to me."

"It's all explained, and you want to apologize?"

"Yes." Shang Mingbao hiccups while making a loud noise.

Xiang Feiran raised her hand, hesitated for a long, long time, and finally landed on her black hair very lightly, "I'm sorry." ”

In these three words, Shang Mingbao's tears broke the embankment again.

Xiang Feiran's T-shirt had long been wet with her tears, wet and uncomfortable on her waist and abdomen.

He reacted in hindsight and was the culprit for letting Shang Mingbao not eat all day...... It's him?

Although it can be regarded as a debtor, it is ...... Why didn't her boyfriend coax her this day? Xiang Feiran became absent-minded at this second.

…… I don't know what her boyfriend was like when he coaxed her, and what tricks he used.

Will it be more ...... than it is now? Hard?

He didn't mind that she was a little harder to coax.

Shang Mingbao has never suffered from this kind of mood. quarrels with black fans, she can hire someone to argue for her, typing faster than her, vocabulary more than her, and even yin and yang weirdness are top-notch; quarrels with classmates and friends, quarrels with and play, sadness and resentment do not exceed the time of a meal; quarrel with the little brother, and Mommy will help her teach him a lesson......

Her emotions became calm and calm like the mountain pass after a flash flood, and she suddenly began to reflect on whether she was making a big fuss? It's a hassle.

She let go of her hand, left Xiang Feiran's embrace, wiped the tears on her cheeks with the back of her hand, and said in a deep nasal voice: "Don't misunderstand......"

Xiang Feiran said categorically before she could finish speaking: "I won't misunderstand. ”

Shang Mingbao raised his face, "I haven't finished speaking." ”

Her cheeks were pink, her eyes were wet, the tails of her eyes and the tip of her nose were red, and her black eyelashes were wet with tears, like a small black finch in the water.

If he looked down, he would also see her collarbones, her shoulder sockets, the shoulders of her lace jacket......

But he couldn't look down.

Xiang Feiran put the coat that he had been carrying at hand over her, covering the vivid color after she cried.

"It's cool at night."
