After getting on the plane, Sang Zhi found her seat, told Sang Yan on WeChat, and then turned off the phone.
The plane taxied and rose into the air with a rumbling sound.
Sang Zhi opened the shutter of the window and looked outside. He watched Yihe City gradually shrinking in his eyes, covered by a white mist until he couldn't see clearly.
She withdrew her gaze, closed her eyes and rested for a while, but she still didn't feel sleepy. Sang Zhi simply took a comic book from her bag and turned to the page she saw last time.
But I couldn't see much of anything.
Sang Zhi let out a breath and slammed the comic shut.
Start thinking about what happened last night again.
She was sitting on the ground playing in the snow, and Duan Jiaxu appeared. She started to cry, saying that she had someone she liked, and then vomited on him. Then she said a bunch of messy words, cried and shouted, and was extremely embarrassed.
After that, I was carried back to school by him, and I had no impression of him.
It is an extremely coherent memory, and it feels like there is no missing part.
But Duan Jiaxu's reaction today was as if she had stopped drinking and said something to him that she shouldn't have said.
It doesn’t seem right to think so.
If she really said something, he wouldn't have reacted the way he did today.
Sang Zhi thought again that his reaction after being splashed with water was that he was smiling inexplicably. Then, she vomited on him yesterday, and he seemed to be in a good mood today.
Sang Zhi: "..."
Is this old man a little insane?
Arrive at Nanwu Airport.
Sang Zhi got off the plane and followed the sign, waiting to pick up her checked luggage. She opened her phone and took a look. When she saw Sang Yan's reply to her message, she immediately replied: [We're here, come out soon.]
She waited for a long time and finally saw her suitcase, picked it up and walked out.
Sang Yan was standing outside the exit, wearing a thin black coat. He lowered his eyes, put one hand in his pocket, and held his mobile phone in the other hand, as if he was replying to someone.
Sang Zhi walked up to him.
Seeing that he didn't raise his head, Sang Zhi suddenly remembered what he said on the phone before, swallowed the word "brother" in his mouth, and affectionately changed it to: "Sang Yan."
"..." Sang Yan stopped and raised his eyes coolly, "Want to rebel?"
Sang Zhi blinked: "You told me not to call you brother."
"Did you listen to me when I asked you not to ask me for money? Also, tell me to live frugally," Sang Yan glanced at her up and down and said in a calm tone, "Have you ever been weighed?"
"..."
"Next time, pretend to be pitiful," Sang Yan took the suitcase in her hand, "Remember to lose weight before coming back."
Sang Zhi was very unhappy: "I only weigh eighty pounds."
"Hmm." Sang Yan said, "Then you look quite fat."
Sang Zhi couldn't help but choked back: "You still look only 1.5 meters tall."
Sang Yan hummed indifferently: "Do you have one meter?"
"..."
Sang Rong went on a business trip, and Liping was the only one at home. There were several prepared dishes on the table, and she was still busy in the kitchen.
Hearing the sound of the door, Li Ping immediately walked out, her hands still wet.
Sang Zhi jumped up and hugged her.
They hadn't seen her for several months, and Li Ping missed her very much. She frowned at her and kept talking about why she had lost so much weight, but she couldn't hide the smile on her lips at all.
Soon, she saw Sang Yan behind her, and her expression changed instantly: "You brat, you still know you're coming back? Didn't you go see Aunt Wang's daughter? The girl has been waiting for you in that store for more than an hour!"
This was the first time Sang Zhi heard about this, and she immediately became quiet, her eyes rolling around on the two people.
"Who can you introduce to me if you have nothing to do?" Sang Yan put Sang Zhi's suitcase aside and said lazily, "Didn't I tell you that I wasn't going?"
Li Ping cursed a few times and went into the kitchen again.
Maybe it was because this matter had been mentioned many times, but Sang Yan didn't pay much attention. He walked to the sofa and sat down, pouring a glass of water.
Sang Zhi immediately came next to him and asked curiously: "Brother, are you going on a blind date?"
"..." Sang Yan glanced at her, "What do you want from me?"
"I'll just ask." Sang Zhi was particularly interested in this, "Didn't you go?"
"Do I deserve to go on a blind date?"
"But you don't have a partner either." Sang Zhi thought about it carefully and found a reason, "Are you embarrassed to go?"
Sang Yan leaned on the sofa, too lazy to pay attention to her.
Sang Zhi remembered Duan Jiaxu's words about asking her to help introduce his girlfriend. She hesitated for a moment and then said, "How about you go with Brother Jiaxu?"
Hearing this, Sang Yan raised his eyelids.
"He seems to want to find a girlfriend recently. You can go to Yihe to find him, or ask him to come to Nanwu to find you." Sang Zhi said sincerely, "Then you can team up and go on a blind date."
"..."
"But in that case," Sang Zhi suddenly felt that this thing didn't work, "you might be at a disadvantage because you would be a foil to him... otherwise you guys..."
Sang Yan said coldly: "Can you shut up?"
Sang Zhi swallowed the words and muttered: "Forget it, you can live alone forever."
Just at that moment, Sang Yan's cell phone on the table rang. He opened it and looked at it. He suddenly raised the corners of his lips and seemed to be in a good mood: "Kid, I want to tell you something."
Sang Zhi looked at him: "What."
"Recently a girl wanted to pick up with me." Sang Yan said, "I don't have time to deal with others, understand?"
"..." Sang Zhi was a little doubtful of what he heard, and was extremely unable to explain it. "You mean, someone wants to chase you?"
"So." Sang Yan turned off the screen and said slowly, "Let Duan Jiaxu go on a blind date happily by himself with those tacky love words."
Sang Zhi: "..."
Not long after Sang Yan graduated from university, he moved out from home. So after dinner, he didn't stay any longer. He said something to Liping and left.
Sang Zhi helped Liping clear the table, then returned to the room and took out the things in the suitcase.
The clothes she had prepared for Sang Rong and Sang Yan were put in two bags respectively. Seeing this, Sang Zhi thought of the New Year's gift that Duan Jiaxu said he would give her as replacement.
I don't know what I will give.
On Sang Zhi's eighteenth birthday, Duan Jiaxu sent her a set of cosmetics. She was still preparing for the college entrance examination at that time, so she only thanked him and never thought about it again.
After that, she put the set of cosmetics on the dressing table and never touched it again.
When she went to Yihe City, she didn't think of taking her there.
Thinking of this, Sang Zhi got up and took the cosmetic bag on the dressing table. She rummaged through it and looked at the brand. It seemed that it was not cheap.
Thinking about it this way, his current conditions seem to be much better than when he was in college.
I have a car and live in a pretty good location.
It's probably not as hard as before.
well.
Then why does she always feel that he is pitiful?
Sang Zhi sat back on the ground, resting her chin on the edge of the bed, thinking about things in silence.
Her thoughts were a little empty.
After a while, her mind recalled inexplicably that while sitting in his car today, she heard those two words that she didn't know if she heard them wrong.
--"also."
The previous sentence is.
——"Are you that big?"
"..."
never mind.
She must have heard wrong.
And maybe he was just teasing her with a few words as usual.
But it doesn’t seem quite right.
It seems like he has never said anything like this before.
"..."
The more Sang Zhi thought about it, the more annoyed she became.
She climbed onto the bed and rolled around. Sang Zhi took out her cell phone, stopped thinking about this matter, and sent a WeChat message to Duan Jiaxu: [We’re home.]
After thinking for a while, Sang Zhi added: [Brother Jia Xu, my brother seems to have a girlfriend.]
Brother No. 2: [Hmm.]
Sang Zhi scratched his head and said tentatively: "She seems to be quite young."
Brother No. 2: [Your brother would never hook up with a minor.]
Sang Zhi hesitated and said: [Is it okay to be an adult? 】
After a while.
Duan Jiaxu sent a voice message.
Sang Zhi's heartbeat inexplicably accelerated and she drove nervously.
The man's deep voice came through the receiver, casual and matter-of-fact: "I have grown up, graduated from high school, and gone to college. Isn't this just a little adult?"
Sent another one.
His voice contained a few laughs: "Why not?"
Because Duan Jiaxu could say such things, Sang Zhi found it extremely incredible and couldn't sleep well all night. But judging from her rationality, she felt that he was looking at it from the perspective of a bystander.
At least in everyone's opinion, this is indeed the truth.
It's not a huge age difference, just six or seven years apart.
But Sang Zhi was thirteen years old when he met Duan Jiaxu.
So, maybe, there is such a possibility. In his eyes, she will always look like the thirteen-year-old without any change.
She met him when she was a child.
So in his eyes, she will always be a child.
Even if he thinks that he can fall in love with someone of her age.
But she is not included.
Sang Zhi couldn't sleep, so she got up in the middle of the night and pulled out a cardboard box from under the bed. She used a utility knife to separate the tape on top and took out the contents.
She saw the ugly puppet that Duan Jiaxu said many years ago that he would give to her if she wanted it.
Sang Zhi put it on the bed and stared at it for a while.
After a long time, the corners of her mouth relaxed, and she muttered: "If, I mean if, you don't treat me like a child anymore -"
"It's impossible for me to chase you." Sang Zhi poked the puppet with his finger and emphasized, "It's not like no one is chasing me. I'm so beautiful, and how old are you. In a few years, you'll probably
Wrinkles are about to appear.”
Sang Zhi muttered: "You have a beautiful idea."
Qian Fei's wedding is scheduled for the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Because he lived in Nanwu, Sang Zhi was familiar with him. Except when he was in junior high school, he came to pick her up a few times. When Sang Zhi was in high school, he would occasionally be brought back by Sang Yan to have dinner at home.
So when he got married, he also invited Sang Zhi.
On the eighth day of the Lunar New Year.
Sang Zhi specially changed her clothes and went with Sang Yan. The seat she was assigned was the table where Qian Fei's classmates from college were, most of whom were men.
Then, Sang Zhi also saw Duan Jiaxu.
Sang Zhi knew he was coming, so he wasn't too surprised.
I just couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Duan Jiaxu wore a simple white shirt and a black suit today. He looked more serious, and his flamboyant temperament was somewhat restrained. He sat opposite her, and there was a woman sitting next to him.
Chatting with him.
Sang Zhi looked away, suddenly feeling something was wrong, and looked at him again.
He immediately noticed that the tie he was wearing today was the one she gave him.
As if he noticed her gaze, Duan Jiaxu raised his eyes and looked at her. His peach blossom eyes instantly curled up. The next second, he said something to the woman next to him, then stood up and walked to Sang Yan's side.
.
After discussing with the man next to Sang Yan, the two changed positions.
Sang Zhi sat next to Sang Yan.
Hearing Sang Yan's laughter, he said in disgust, "Duan Jiaxu, I just sat down and you rushed over to see dad?"
Duan Jiaxu lowered his eyes, changed the tableware, and didn't pay much attention to his words.
"Call me daddy." Sang Yan leaned back on the chair, stretched out his hand to grab the red envelope that Sang Zhi put on the table, and tilted the corner of his mouth to one side, "Now that the New Year is over, daddy will give you a red envelope too."
The red envelope was given to Sang Zhi by a relative who came to visit unexpectedly before he went out.
Sang Zhi glanced at it, but he didn't want to snatch it back in public, so he could only swallow his anger and pretend he didn't see it, and drank the water in front of him.
Duan Jiaxu's eyelids moved, and his gaze passed over Sang Zhi very quickly. He tilted his face, looked at Sang Yan, and said in a drawl: "It's hard to say dad, so can I call you brother?"
Sang Yan raised his eyebrows: "You can also call me brother."
Hearing this, Duan Jiaxu looked at Sang Zhi again, his eyes straight, and his eyebrows seemed to be filled with emotion. He chuckled lightly, without any burden or struggle, and shouted out instantly.
"Yes, brother."
This sound was extremely shocking.
"..."
Sang Zhi almost choked, pulled out a tissue and coughed several times.
After a few seconds of silence, Sang Yan stared at him silently, as if he didn't recognize him. His forehead twitched, and he was extremely speechless: "Who are you disgusting by shouting the word "duplicate"?"
"Brother," Duan Jiaxu took the red envelope, tapped it twice with his fingertips, and said nonchalantly, "Thank you."
Sang Yan said expressionlessly: "You're welcome, take it back."
"I accepted the red envelope as you said." Duan Jiaxu put the red envelope into his pocket as if he hadn't heard what he said, and smiled softly: "Then it's settled, you will be my brother from now on."
Sang Yan's eyes were subtle: "Why are you so nervous today?"
"I'm not crazy." Duan Jiaxu smiled endlessly and trailed off, "Thank you for your concern, brother."
"..."
The author has something to say: Sang Yan:?????I’m suffocated.
Sang Zhi: Me, me, me, too.
Duan Jiaxu: This time I called my brother, after all, I am your sister’s boyfriend.
I saw a little cutie asking about the age difference. The difference between the two of them is still seven years! It hasn’t changed!
