The warm yellow light from outside shone in, casting varying light on Duan Jiaxu's face. His eyelashes cast light shadows under his eyes, and his pupils were lighter in color, giving him a natural gentleness.
He coughed lightly, as if trying to hold back a laugh, and hummed meaningfully.
Sang Zhi added firmly: "It's time for you to die."
"Wait a minute." Sang Yan's voice became softer and sounded unpredictable, "Duan Jiaxu, are you older than me?"
Duan Jiaxu said calmly: "What?"
Sang Yan: “My sister’s boyfriend is also older than me.”
"Yeah." Duan Jiaxu turned the steering wheel without moving his eyelids, "He's the same age as me."
A moment of silence.
Sang Yan seemed to laugh angrily: "Don't tell me——"
As if she had guessed what he was going to say next, Sang Zhi's scalp went numb, and for a moment she didn't have the courage to confess at all. She quickly interrupted: "No, absolutely not. Brother, what are you thinking!"
Sang Yan said coldly: "Just say no to what I said."
Sang Zhi managed to calm down and said unhappily: "If you say this, who can't guess what you are going to say?"
Sang Yan: "Are you two going out to eat together?"
Sang Zhi was confident: "Yes, I went to have dinner with Brother Jiaxu on his birthday. I can't be like you, like you have no feelings at all, and you still have the nerve to say that the gift I bought was from you."
Duan Jiaxu quietly listened to the quarrel between the two brothers and sisters.
Sang Yan mocked: "What kind of birthday do you guys celebrate? It's pretentious."
"..."
Seemingly feeling that his guess was a little outrageous, Sang Yan didn't mention what happened just now: "Then you two go ahead and eat. And, kid, remember to go back to school early. I failed."
The car instantly became quiet.
She didn't know if it was Sang Zhi's psychological effect. Without Sang Yan's voice, for a moment, she felt as if the awkward atmosphere had risen to the top.
Sang Zhi lay in his position pretending to be dead, playing with his cell phone.
According to what they just said, it should be what she said to Sang Yan every time, and then he turned around and told Duan Jiaxu. This old man pretended not to know anything in front of her.
I probably laugh at her pretentiousness in my heart every day.
Annoying! People! Fine!
really.
It didn't take long.
There was doubt in Duan Jiaxu's words, and he said slowly: "What boyfriend?"
Sang Zhi didn't want to lose her momentum, so she sat up straight and explained seriously: "I told my brother that we might be in love, but I didn't say that we were already in love."
He chuckled: "Graduate student?"
"..."
Duan Jiaxu: "Is it too late for me to take the exam now?"
Sang Zhi felt embarrassed and continued to pretend to be dead.
"If you don't take the exam, what will you say to your brother in the future?" Duan Jiaxu's voice rose slightly and his tone was not serious, "Is it okay to say that you didn't make it with that graduate student boyfriend and you made it with me?"
Sang Zhi held it in for a long time before he finally managed to say: "How did I end up with you?"
Duan Jiaxu smiled: "We've already had a showdown with your brother, but you still don't admit that you have that intention towards me?"
Sang Zhi: "Can't I really fall in love with a graduate student?"
Hearing this, Duan Jiaxu raised his eyebrows and said leisurely: "I really only have a bachelor's degree."
"..."
Every word is suggestive.
The person you like, even if the appearance, age, background and background you described do not match mine.
That person is still me.
So it can only be that your description is wrong.
Sang Zhi stared at him, suddenly a little frustrated, and whispered: "Did you already know this?"
Duan Jiaxu glanced at her: "You know what."
Sang Zhi said nothing.
While waiting at the red light, Duan Jiaxu glanced in her direction a few more times.
She lowered her head, the corners of her lips were slightly pulled down, and her eyelids were drooped. She couldn't tell what she was thinking, but it was obvious that she was a little unhappy.
It's so obvious.
He had to pretend not to notice.
Duan Jiaxu found it funny: "Let me ask you something seriously."
Sang Zhi whispered: "What."
Duan Jiaxu: "You really don't mean anything to me?"
Sang Zhi turned to look at him, her eyebrows relaxed slightly. After a few seconds of silence, she looked out the window. This time she finally relaxed and said vaguely: "A little."
"OK."
Sang Zhi said in a strange tone: "This is how you react."
Duan Jiaxu: "Huh?"
"Why don't you tell me," Sang Zhi muttered, feeling that she was a bit pretentious, "I'm obviously interested in you, but I don't agree with it. I just wait for you to chase me every day."
"Didn't you say it's just a little bit?" Duan Jiaxu didn't care too much and thought of a reason for her, "Then it's probably not to the point where we can be together."
Sang Zhi said nothing.
The car unknowingly arrived at a supermarket near Duan Jiaxu's home. He found a spot to park and jokingly said: "It's only our first time falling in love, so we have many worries. My brother understands."
Sang Zhi couldn't help but said: "Then what if I always disagree?"
Duan Jiaxu unbuckled her seat belt, raised his eyebrows and said, "Then you just wait for your brother to chase you every day."
"..."
Duan Jiaxu thought for a moment and said with a slight smile: "This is probably the only love you will have in your life."
Sang Zhi did not deny it, but looked a little uncomfortable.
Duan Jiaxu lowered his gaze and looked at her, his eyes curved into beautiful crescent moons. Then, he spoke in a very soft voice, as if coaxing her: "So, other little girls have-"
"..."
"We just have to have it."
The two entered the supermarket.
Duan Jiaxu only came here to buy some vegetables and meat and make dinner at home. He headed towards the fresh food area, but Sang Zhi didn't follow him. He went to the snack area and picked up a bunch of food.
Then return to him and throw it into the shopping cart.
Back and forth several times.
When Sang Zhi appeared in front of Duan Jiaxu for the fourth time, most of the things were already in the shopping cart, and most of them were picked by her. He put the box of chicken wings he had just taken into the shopping cart and said casually: "You
Are you going to stay at my house?"
Sang Zhi choked: "I bought this for you."
Duan Jiaxu took the jelly from her hand: "Did you buy it for me?"
"When you are usually greedy, you can eat it. If you don't want to eat it, you can leave it. I will help you eat it when I have time." Sang Zhi said shamelessly, "I also like to eat this, so I won't waste it.
"
Duan Jiaxu laughed out loud: "Yeah?"
"What are you doing?" Sang Zhi said nonchalantly, "I've never seen you eating snacks, and I don't know what you like to eat, so I can only take what I like to eat."
Duan Jiaxu lowered his eyes, glanced around, and commented: "What a little girl eats."
Sang Zhi was quiet for two seconds and said reluctantly: "Then I'll put it back."
Duan Jiaxu pushed the cart and walked towards the vegetable area: "What are you putting it back for?"
Sang Zhi followed him like a little tail and muttered: "Didn't you say this is what the little girl eats?"
Duan Jiaxu said calmly: "Well, my family just happened to have one."
Sang Zhi was startled, and her footsteps stopped instantly. Her ears felt inexplicably hot, and she quickly followed him. She did not run to the snack area anymore, and picked vegetables with Duan Jiaxu.
Duan Jiaxu raised his eyelids and asked her, "Don't you want to pick snacks?"
Sang Zhi: "There is nothing left to buy."
"Going to check out then?"
"Um."
Sang Zhi looked at the items in the shopping cart and asked, "Brother Jia Xu, can you cook?"
Duan Jiaxu: "I know a little bit."
Sang Zhi thought for a while: "I'll cook longevity noodles for you later."
"Can you still cook this?"
"..." Sang Zhi said innocently, "Wouldn't it be enough to boil the water and throw in the noodles?"
Duan Jiaxu's eyebrows twitched: "How delicious can that be?"
"Isn't this just a ritual of eating? It's not about the taste." Sang Zhi thought it made sense, turned around and walked in the other direction, "You go to the queue first, and I'll buy longevity noodles."
"..."
After leaving the supermarket, the two returned to Duan Jiaxu's residence.
Afraid that the cake would be spoiled, Sang Zhi put on indoor slippers and quickly put the cake box in the refrigerator. Duan Jiaxu sorted out the things he had just bought, then went into the kitchen to wash and cook rice.
Sang Zhi followed to help.
Duan Jiaxu: "Are you hungry?"
Sang Zhi shook his head: "It's okay."
Duan Jiaxu washed a box of cherry tomatoes, stuffed one into her mouth, and then gave her the fruit plate in his hand: "Hold this, go outside and watch TV for a while."
Sang Zhi refused: "I want to make longevity noodles for you."
She took out her mobile phone and looked up recipes online: "You do what you want and don't worry about me."
"..."
Staring at her serious look, Duan Jiaxu didn't stop her anymore, curved the corners of his lips, and couldn't help but laugh a few times.
The two of them were doing their own things. Sang Zhi only used the induction cooker in the kitchen and occasionally used the chopping board and knife. Duan Jiaxu would come over to help, but she would drive him away displeased.
It doesn’t take long to cook noodles.
But Sang Zhi had never cooked before, and had never even cooked instant noodles since she was a child. She lingered for a long time, and was very careful when cutting vegetables, lest she see blood on this good day.
When the rice was cooked and Duan Jiaxu's three dishes and one soup were ready, Sang Zhicai finished a bowl of longevity noodles in great embarrassment, which didn't look very good.
Sang Zhi had never tasted it himself, so he anxiously brought the noodles to Duan Jiaxu.
Duan Jiaxu's eyes slightly curved: "The rice is ready for you, eat quickly."
Sang Zhi couldn't imagine the taste of this noodle, so he hesitated and said: "Don't eat this noodle, just use it as a sense of ceremony. Just, I heard from my classmates that you all seem to make this for your birthday..."
Duan Jiaxu said gently: "I'll give it a try. If it doesn't taste good, I won't eat it, okay?"
Sang Zhi sat on the chair and reluctantly agreed: "Okay."
The small living room, with its cool white lighting, looks extremely warm.
Sang Zhi took a bite of her rice and kept her eyes on Duan Jiaxu, wanting to see his expression after eating the noodles. She watched him pick up the noodles, put them into his mouth, and chewed them gracefully.
His expression didn't change much.
After a moment, Duan Jiaxu smiled and said: "It's quite delicious."
Sang Zhi didn't believe it at all and asked suspiciously: "Real or false?"
Duan Jiaxu hummed.
Sang Zhi: "Then I'll take a bite too."
Duan Jiaxu raised his eyebrows: "Indirect kiss?"
"..." Sang Zhi said at a loss for words, "I'll get a new pair of chopsticks to eat."
"No," Duan Jiaxu refused gently, "Don't take advantage of my brother."
"..."
After the meal, Sang Zhi took the cake out of the refrigerator. She opened the packaging bag containing the candles and said with a smile: "Brother Jiaxu, take out the cake yourself. There are words on it."
Duan Jiaxu pulled out the cake and chanted: "Happy birthday to the 26-year-old Duan Jiaxu."
Sang Zhi blinked: "I even asked the clerk for an extra pack of candles."
"Oh, by the way." Sang Zhi picked up another plastic bag, "This store also gives away birthday hats, please wear them."
Duan Jiaxu said amusedly: "What the hell?"
Sang Zhi glanced at him and put it on his head: "This one is shaped like a crown. You will be Queen Duan today."
"Huh?" Duan Jiaxu laughed and said, "Why isn't she Princess Duan?"
Sang Zhi hit him: "How can you be a princess at your age?"
The word "twenty-six" was already written on the cake, and Sang Zhi did not insist on putting twenty-six candles. She lit the candles, sang happy birthday to him according to the procedure, and then said seriously: "Make a wish.
"
Duan Jiaxu thought for a moment and said quietly: "It will be like this next year."
Then he blew out the candle.
Before Sang Zhi could react, his eyes fell into darkness: "What is this?"
Duan Jiaxu stood up and turned on the light, and said casually: "Next year, you will also come to pick me up for my birthday."
"What kind of wish is that? I can't pretend that I don't know your birthday." Sang Zhi felt that his wish was a bit inexplicable and handed him the gift he had prepared, "A gift for you."
Duan Jiaxu took it and raised his peach blossom eyes: "Thank you."
After a few seconds of silence, Sang Zhi paused and suddenly thought of a possibility. She raised her head and said dryly: "Brother Jiaxu, let me ask you something."
"Um?"
"What if, I mean what if, we really get together, and if we feel it's inappropriate, then we break up." Sang Zhi asked softly, "I probably won't contact you again in the future."
Hearing this, Duan Jiaxu's eyelids moved.
Soon, Sang Zhi realized that it was not appropriate to say such words in this situation, and quickly added: "I just asked casually."
Duan Jiaxu cut the cake and said in a clear and clear voice, "Can't you trust me?"
"..." Sang Zhi was quiet for a moment, "No."
Duan Jiaxu: "Is my normal appearance too inappropriate?"
Sang Zhi said nothing.
Duan Jiaxu smiled instead: "It seems so."
Sang Zhi said nonchalantly: "I don't mean that."
"Sang Zhi, if you think that we will separate in the future, it is really inappropriate. Even if you don't agree, I can't force you." Duan Jiaxu lowered his eyes and looked at her level, "But if you agree, if
And even mentioning the breakup——"
"..."
His voice stopped, his eyes slightly raised, and he smiled like a monster: "Have you ever seen my brother lose his temper?"
Sang Zhi held the corners of her clothes with her hands and raised her eyes to look at him.
Duan Jiaxu lowered his voice and pinched her face affectionately.
"Very scary."
This topic ends here.
Duan Jiaxu didn't mention it again after that, and Sang Zhi pretended that he had never asked about it. It was like an episode that didn't make any splash, and no one cared about it.
Seeing that it was almost time, Duan Jiaxu sent Sang Zhi back to school.
After Sang Zhi washed up, she returned to her seat and continued to do her own thing. Her mind was a little empty and she couldn't concentrate, thinking back on the idea that suddenly came to her.
She actually knows what her concerns are.
Sang Zhi was not worried at all that Duan Jiaxu would be bad to her.
She knows what kind of person he is.
But she would be worried that he might not like her for a long time.
Even if he doesn't like her anymore, there is a high probability that Duan Jiaxu will not break up with her and will only treat their relationship as a responsibility.
It will evolve into a painful outcome for both parties.
Isn't it true that she is too pretentious?
Sang Zhi had obviously been looking forward to this thing with him for a long time, but when it was about to happen, she felt worried about gains and losses, and was extremely uneasy.
I'm so uneasy that I don't even have the courage to accept it.
Sang Zhi tried hard to put aside these thoughts of hers and still get along with Duan Jiaxu in the same way as before. Many times, she finally made up her mind and planned to be with him, but she took it back when she spoke.
Duan Jiaxu seemed to have noticed something was wrong with her, and therefore came to see her much more often than before.
Sang Zhi didn't know how to tell him what she thought.
After all, she didn't want to tell him that she had liked him since she was thirteen.
She didn't know how she could stop trying to get into trouble.
In the blink of an eye, May has come to an end.
After Friday, at seven o'clock in the evening, Sang Zhi made an appointment with people from the department to go out for dinner. She was holding hands and talking to a girl in the department. As soon as she left the school gate, she noticed Jiang Ying standing under the tree.
Sang Zhi was stunned for a moment and stared at her doubtfully.
He happened to meet her eyes.
Soon, Sang Zhi looked away. She had no idea that she was here to find her. She just felt inexplicable. She continued chatting with her friends in the department and walked to a barbecue restaurant outside the school.
At this time, and since tomorrow is the weekend, there are not many people in the store.
Someone from the department came in advance to occupy a seat, and Sang Zhi walked over and sat down. After a while, she noticed that a table for two people had been cleared, and then, only one customer sat on it.
It's Jiang Ying.
Make eye contact again.
Sang Zhi looked at her hesitantly, and at this moment she had the feeling that Jiang Ying had come specifically to find her.
But why did Jiang Ying come to her?
And how did she know she was here.
Sang Zhi couldn't figure it out and didn't care about her anymore. She lowered her head and drank the water in the cup.
Jiang Ying seemed to just come over to eat, and didn't take the initiative to come over to trouble her. But her eyes were on her from time to time, looking at her a little, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Sang Zhi simply changed places with the friend opposite him, and gradually forgot about this person's existence.
After dinner, Sang Zhi got up and went into the bathroom. She just wanted to wash her hands and touch up her makeup, and had nothing else to do.
Before she could reach the sink, she looked in the mirror and saw Jiang Ying coming in. Sang Zhi glanced at her, said nothing, and squeezed some hand sanitizer onto her hands.
Jiang Ying took out the lipstick from her bag and said, "Are you Duan Jiaxu's new partner?"
Sang Zhi said nothing.
"Yes, college students are so easy to deceive." Jiang Ying said with a smile, "I just happened to run into you here. Let me remind you that he has been on blind dates hundreds of times before. Do you know why he can't get along with him?"
Sang Zhi said expressionlessly: "It's not just a coincidence, you just took the initiative to come to me and say these things."
"Don't I want to see a little girl like you go astray?" Jiang Ying said in a calm tone, "Did you know that he has a vegetative father who is still lying in the hospital?"
Sang Zhi's hand movements stopped.
"It seems that he has never mentioned it to you at all." Noticing her reaction, Jiang Ying's lips curled up, "Let me tell you another secret, his father is a beast who killed people while driving drunk."
"..."
"You have to pay nearly 100,000 yuan a year in medical expenses to support a beast," Jiang Ying said. "No girl from a rich family can live with him without even having a house."
Sang Zhi then raised his head, not affected by these words at all, and said matter-of-factly: "I have money."
"..." Obviously he couldn't believe that she would react like this. Jiang Ying's expression instantly turned ugly, "His father killed someone. He was a murderer. Didn't you hear?"
Sang Zhi spoke slowly: "Then am I going to marry his father?"
"..."
Sang Zhi didn't want to stay with her anymore and wasn't even in the mood to touch up her makeup. She took out a piece of paper and walked out.
Jiang Ying could no longer maintain the surface calm and slammed the lipstick on her body: "You can't understand human speech? Is there something wrong with your brain? Can't you understand when I talk to you properly?"
The lipstick is small and does not hurt if it hits your body.
But it instantly ignited Sang Zhi's anger.
Sang Zhi lowered her eyes and stared at the lipstick rolling on the ground, then raised her eyes to look at her. She sneered, pulled off the bag on her body, and threw it into Jiang Ying's face. She moved her neck and spoke in an extremely unpleasant tone.
Polite: "Who got used to your bad habits?"
"..."
Jiang Ying was hit and took a step back. After a few seconds of silence, she smiled: "Who do you think is used to it?"
"..."
"Duan Jia Xu."
There was a stalemate for a moment.
Sang Zhi's eyes were dark and he stared straight at her: "Auntie, if you are really being spoiled, why do you still come to me today?"
"..."
"You have so much free time to do this kind of thing," Sang Zhi picked up the bag on the ground and said in a mean tone, "It's better to spend some time on maintenance. Otherwise, if you stand with Duan Jiaxu, I would have thought you were his mother's."
Where are my friends?"
After saying that, she left the toilet.
Jiang Ying got angry and immediately followed her out. She grabbed Sang Zhi's arm and raised her hand, shaking with anger.
Liang Jun happened to come over to use the toilet. Seeing this situation, he was stunned for a moment, immediately grabbed Sang Zhi's hand, protected it behind him, and shouted angrily: "What are you doing?!"
"..."
Jiang Ying said nothing, stared at Sang Zhi, and soon turned around and returned to her seat.
Liang Jun asked a few questions, and Sang Zhi vaguely made up a few reasons. She also returned to her seat and glanced at her phone absently, what Jiang Ying had just said echoing in her mind.
After this incident, people in the department decided to go to a nearby bar to play games.
Sang Zhi had no objection and went with her. But she couldn't concentrate and inexplicably recalled the scene of Duan Jiaxu smoking alone on the balcony the night he stayed at her house.
I remembered what he said: "The money Xiao Sangzhi will earn in the future will be used to buy nice dresses for herself."
I remembered that when he was in college, he had one part-time job after another.
I remembered how he would not go to the hospital when he was sick and would spend all the holidays alone.
Thinking of his recent life, it seemed to become clearer.
I remembered him bending his eyes and saying to her with a conniving smile: "What other little girls have, we just have to have it too."
The hurdle that had been difficult to pass seemed to suddenly become clear at this moment. Sang Zhi's brain suddenly became hot, and he suddenly stood up and said goodbye to the others: "I have something to do, I'm leaving first."
When we arrived downstairs at Duan Jiaxu's house, someone happened to open the door downstairs.
Sang Zhi followed in, her mind blank, she entered the elevator, went up to Duan Jiaxu's floor, and then stood at the door of his house. She breathed out and rang the doorbell.
The door was opened quickly.
Duan Jiaxu seemed to have just taken a shower, with water still dripping from his hair and a very strong scent of mint. His expression was a little stunned, as if he didn't expect that she would come at this point.
Staring at her expression, Duan Jiaxu bent down and asked hesitantly: "Why are you here?"
Sang Zhi also stared at him and did not answer his question. It seemed as if he was impulsive, but also seemed that he had finally said something he had been holding back for a long time, and said in an unusually straightforward manner: "Can you always like me?"
Anyway, I was the one who liked you first.
Originally I liked you more.
So I want to stay with you all the time.
Even if you really don’t like me in the future.
I don’t seem to be at a disadvantage either.
Duan Jiaxu was still a little unresponsive, and even felt as if he had fallen asleep and had a dream. He lowered his eyes and subconsciously expressed his thoughts: "Yes."
Sang Zhi sniffed: "Then -"
"Wait a minute," Duan Jiaxu smiled, "What are you doing."
Before Sang Zhi could speak again, Duan Jiaxu grabbed her wrist and pulled her into the house: "Come in first."
"..."
"Tell me," Duan Jiaxu said patiently, "What's wrong?"
"I just think today is the right day." Sang Zhi whispered, "So I don't want to wait any longer."
Duan Jiaxu's breathing stopped for a moment, and then he realized that she didn't seem to be joking: "Drinking?"
Sang Zhi: "No."
Duan Jiaxu: "Agree to be with me?"
"Um."
Be silent for a few seconds.
Duan Jiaxu suddenly pinched her chin and lifted her face up. His eyes were deep, staring into her clear and nervous eyes, his Adam's apple rolled up and down, and he confirmed again: "Have you thought about it?"
Sang Zhi didn't look away, staring at him and humming again.
Finally got the affirmative answer.
At such a close distance, the ambiguous atmosphere continued to heat up, like a dream-like scene. Duan Jiaxu's eyes darkened, he stared at her lips, and suddenly spoke, hoarsely: "Open your mouth."
Sang Zhi didn't react, so she made a sound and opened her lips.
The next moment, his voice fell.
Accompanied by an extremely warm and warm touch.
"Brother will teach you how to kiss."
