The scene seemed to be deadlocked.

    In the quiet space, the thick soup in the pot bubbles outward, making a gurgling sound. In front of the eyes, the smoke shrouded, like adding a layer of filter, which blurred sang Yan''s eyebrows and eyes.

    "I didn''t want to choose this major." Wen Yifan lowered his eyes and naturally pulled a reason. "At that time, there was a problem in the evaluation. He didn''t get into the major he wanted to choose and was transferred to online media."

    Smell speech, sang Yan also draws back a line of sight, calm drank a wine.

    Sang Zhi looks at sang Yan and looks back at Wen Yifan. He always feels that the atmosphere is strange.

    Wen Yifan didn''t notice anything, and continued: "but now it seems that you only fill in the application after you have made achievements. You can refer to the score line of previous years, and you can have more bottom in mind when filling in."

    "OK," Sang Zhi said obediently, "thank you, elder sister Yifan."

    The topic is gradually brought to other aspects.

    The previous episode seems to have been omitted.

    After dinner.

    Sang Yan, as the one who cooked, left after eating and sat on the sofa like a young man playing with his mobile phone.

    Originally Sang Zhi also habitually planned to go to the direction of the living room, but noticed that Wen Yifan got up and began to clean up, her steps stopped, and went back to help clean up.

    Wen Yifan looked at her and said with a smile, "you go to study. I''ll clean it up."

    "It''s OK," Sang said, bending his lips. "It''s not too late."

    "Then help me put those dishes together."

    "Good."

    Half a minute later.

    "Elder sister Yifan," out of curiosity, Sang Zhi whispered to her in a low voice, "can I ask you a question?"

    "What?"

    "If you don''t want to answer, just don''t hear me." Sang Zhi didn''t ask very well, but he wanted to know that after all, these words could not be heard from sang Yan, "have you ever been in love with my brother before?"

    “……” "No," said Wen

    Sangzhi was not surprised to get a negative answer: "because my parents said that my brother fell in love when he was in high school, and then just thought that I was" lost "in front of you, so I thought it was you."

    “……”

    "So he didn''t catch up with you," Sang Zhi thought and guessed, "then he changed --"

    before she finished, sang Yan suddenly stood up: "kid."

    Sang Zhi looked back: "why."

    "Go," Sang Yan pulled up the coat on the sofa, light way, "send you back."

    Sang Zhi had not finished his gossip, and his expression was dull: "can''t I stay here a little longer?"

    "Aren''t you in a hurry to get back to the topic?" Sang Yan put on his coat. After drinking, he only took the key to the house. "How dare you brag?"

    “……” Sang Zhi had to say to Wen Yifan, "elder sister Yifan, next time. I''ll go first

    Wen Yifan raised his head: "OK, be careful on the way."

    ……

    Out of the community, sang Yan stopped a taxi.

    Sang Zhi went up first, tied his seat belt and said, "brother, I don''t think you have a good attitude towards Yifan. Isn''t she nice? He''s soft in his speech. "

    Sang Zhi met most of Sang Yan''s friends, but they were all men.

    Almost all of them are talkative. They are childish and noisy when they get together. To those friends, sang Yan''s attitude is not good. He speaks badly and drags to heaven. People want to fight him on the spot.

    But the way he treats Wen Yifan is different.

    Almost indifferent neglect, even talk is cold.

    But Sang Zhi didn''t see any other girls around him.

    I don''t know if this attitude is normal.

    "Is that your way of picking up girls now?" Sang Zhi stared at his face and whispered, "but you two are not people in the same world just by looking at your looks."

    Sang Yan glanced at her.

    Sang Zhi gave him sincere advice: "and brother, girls will not like your attitude."

    “……”

    "Generally, I would like to be gentle," Sang Zhi thought and said little by little with his fingers. "I''m good-natured and careful. I don''t always ignore people. It''s ok if the family environment is not good - "

    thinking of Sang Yan''s resignation for a long time and not looking for a job, Sang Zhi wants to remind him:" you just need to work hard, don''t be a homeless person at home all day. "

    Sang Yan finally made a sound and said: "your ideal type is Duan Jiaxu?"

    “……”

    Sang Zhi shut up in an instant.

    Quiet all the way to the outside of the community.

    Sang Zhi got out of the car, and when he looked back, he saw that sang Yan was still in the car. She is a Leng, doubt a way: "you how still don''t come down?"

    Sang Yan: "go up by yourself."

    Sang Zhi responded that he couldn''t set up a channel: "are you going to sleep tonight?"Sang Yan: "well."

    "You''re not afraid of your parents breaking your leg!" Sang Zhi didn''t think that he was so bold, "call them yourself, or they''ll have to ask me when they come back later."

    Sang Yan Tut was too lazy to be perfunctory. "What''s the matter with you

    “……”

    "Gone."

    After cleaning the table, Wen Yifan went back to his room.

    Wen Yifan didn''t take a bath immediately. He sat down at his desk and looked at his mobile phone. Found that Zhao Yuandong sent her several wechat. The content is almost the same as before. It''s all for Wen Yifan to pay attention to her health during the Spring Festival and go back to see her after the holiday.

    She said "yes".

    After the success of sending, Wen Yifan opened a new episode to watch.

    He went away unconsciously.

    I think of what Sang Zhi just said.

    "Because my parents said my brother fell in love early in high school."

    If that''s right.

    It should be her.

    In high school, the teacher thought they had fallen in love. At that time, he asked them to talk about it. Later, he called his parents. She remembers that it happened twice, in grade one and grade two.

    Wen Yifan''s thoughts were interrupted by the telephone.

    She picked up the phone and heard Joe Chung''s voice from the other end: "are you going to work tomorrow?"

    Wen Yifan made a sound.

    Zhong Siqiao: "Alas, we haven''t seen each other these days."

    Wen Yifan said with a smile, "it''s not that I have no chance."

    "Why do we live so far..." Zhong Siqiao continued to sigh, "my relatives who have been away for several days are tired and bored. I''m not asking if I have an object, or if I want to introduce an object to you. It''s like an appointment. "

    "What happened to you and your God?"

    "It was almost the same, but he never mentioned it." Zhong Siqiao was a little distressed. "Is he using me as a spare tire? Still want to find a more meaningful festival to tell me

    "If you really like it, it doesn''t matter if you take the initiative. But you have to see how the man -- "before he finished speaking, Wen Yifan suddenly heard the sound of the door opening and closing, and the voice stopped.

    "What''s the matter?"

    "It''s OK. I heard something in the living room." Wen Yifan didn''t think that he would come back tonight. He said casually, "it should be sang Yan who has come back."

    Zhong Siqiao was surprised: "he doesn''t live at home on the third day of the new year?"

    Without waiting for her to answer, Zhong Siqiao continued: "but now I hear that you two are sharing a house, I still feel a little strange. After all, didn''t he like you before? What didn''t happen to you two? "

    Wen Yifan said honestly, "I haven''t seen you several times."

    "All right." Zhong Siqiao said, "it seems so. After all, it has been so many years."

    Thinking of mentioning the University tonight, Wen Yifan mentioned one thing: "Qiao Qiao, Xiang Lang, did he plan to take the examination of Yihe University before? I''m not impressed with that

    "Yes, but I said it several times at the beginning of high school." What you want to say is what he really said when we went out? When he said that, I wanted to make complaints about it, but I still managed to endure it.

    “……”

    "He just owes. He said that to Sang Yan on purpose. When they were in the same class in senior three, they didn''t deal with it very well. " Zhong Siqiao laughed. "I forgot to tell you that after I sent you back, this fool accidentally let out his words. He said he was used to it and forgot how many years had passed. He also said that he thought that sang Yan was cold now, and it was too boring to look at him. In the past, he said such words could make sang Yan satirize him for hundreds of rounds. "

    “……”

    They talked for a while.

    After hanging up, Wen Yifan got up.

    When I wanted to take a bath, I picked up my cell phone again. She pursed her lips, opened the wechat chat window with Sang Yan, and slowly knocked:

    when she knocked here, she stared at the screen and stopped.

    I don''t know how long it took.

    Wen Yifan breathed and deleted all the words.

    Forget it.

    How long has it been.

    Again, it seems a little puzzling.

    What''s more, she just didn''t handle it well.

    Now, even if you want to explain it, it doesn''t make any sense.

    The short three-day holiday ended.

    Wen Yifan began to live the day when he was ready to go out every day when he opened his eyes and closed his eyes to sleep after washing at home. With sangyanna a little bit of harmony, seems to disappear with the passing of the festival.

    Then it returned to normal.

    Basically, they meet every day.

    But the number of conversations was pitifully small.

    However, Wen Yifan felt that it was not unpleasant to get along with each other. At most, it was because the time they got along did not bring their relationship closer. They fulfilled their promise of non-interference at the beginning and lived their own lives.Before I knew it, the whole of February passed.

    It seems that overnight, the bitter cold is driven away by the coming spring, and the temperature is gradually rising.

    Before the Spring Festival, Wen Yifan didn''t go to Zhao Yuandong.

    Maybe it''s because of this. Since then, Zhao Yuandong has found her a lot more. I would talk to her every day, and it would turn into "when do you have time to see mom?".

    After a long time, Wen Yifan felt that there was some trouble in such a procrastination, so he simply met and dealt with it. After thinking about meeting, Zhao Yuandong will not look for her as often as now.

    Wen Yifan''s rest day is one day after tree planting day.

    That afternoon, according to the address given by Zhao Yuandong, Wen Yifan went by subway.

    Just at the gate of the community, I saw Zhao Yuandong.

    Zhao Yuandong was wearing a long skirt with light makeup on her face. Her hair and waist were curled.

    Time didn''t seem to leave any trace on her face. Compared with a few years ago, her appearance didn''t change much. She was so beautiful that she didn''t have the charm of her age.

    Wen Yifan''s appearance is more like her.

    Seeing Wen Yifan, Zhao Yuandong''s eyes stopped and immediately came over. She couldn''t cover up her excitement, but her movement was cramped. She only gently grabbed her arm: "ah, come on."

    "Well."

    "Why do you come out wearing this kind of clothes?"

    Wen Yifan, holding the fruit he just bought on the road, said with a smile, "it''s not cold."

    -- silence.

    Zhao Yuandong''s eyes were on her face.

    They haven''t seen each other for many years. They feel strange to each other.

    Looking at her face, Zhao Yuandong''s eyes gradually turned red, and she decided to recognize her head: "you see, I''m also..."

    “……” Wen Yifan doesn''t like to deal with this kind of thing, lightly pursed his lower lip, "go ahead, I have something to do later, I have to leave after dinner, I can''t stay here for so long."

    "OK, OK, go home with mom." Zhao Yuandong wiped his eyes, "mom is also afraid to disturb your work and rest. If you have no time, I''ll go and sit down with you. In the future, if you want to eat something, just call your mother, and she will make it for you. "

    "I''m sharing with people, and I''m afraid it will affect my roommates."

    "If you have time, come here more," Zhao Yuandong looked at her up and down, with heartache in her eyes. "Look, you are so thin that you don''t have any meat. Don''t you eat well?"

    Wen Yifan: "eat."

    Zhao Yuandong looked at her several times and sighed: "our ah Jiang has grown up and is much more beautiful than before."

    Wen Yifan just smiles.

    They went to the building where Zhao Yuandong lived.

    The house Zhao Yuandong lives in now is not the same place where Wen Yifan moved with her after she remarried. She probably moved a few years ago. It''s a new high-grade building. The greening and property management of the community are very good.

    There''s a lot more space.

    In my impression, Zhao Yuandong mentioned it to her.

    But Wen Yifan didn''t pay attention, so he didn''t remember when it was.

    On the elevator, Zhao Yuandong said next to her, "by the way, you haven''t met Xinxin yet." Speaking of this, her smile is more obvious: "almost three years old."

    Zhao Yuandong''s full name is Zheng Kexin.

    He is Wen Yifan''s half brother.

    "Your uncle Zheng is still at work." When the elevator just arrived, Zhao Yuandong took out the key from her pocket. "Jiajia is not at home either. She only goes home every few weeks when she goes to college. And she told me once before that she was young, and she was too malicious to you, but now she wants to open up and feel sorry for you. "

    Wen Yifan gave a warm hum.

    Zhao Yuandong opened the door and let Wen Yifan in first: "sit first."

    Then she suddenly remembered something: "by the way, ah Jiang. Your great aunt is here, too. A few days ago, she heard that you had come to Nanwu. Today, she came from Beiyu and said she wanted to see you -- "

    hearing this, Wen Yifan raised his eyes.

    At the same time, she saw Zhao Yuandong''s uncle and mother Che Yanqin come out of the room.

    "Oh, here comes the frost." Che Yanqin is burning her mother''s head. She is about the same age as Zhao Yuandong, but she looks like a person of two age groups. Her voice is thick. "Come on, come on, let me have a look."

    “……”

    "I haven''t seen you for many years," Che Yanqin said with a smile as she came over. "You have no conscience. After going out to college, you don''t know where your home is, and you don''t know how to come back to see your aunt."

    Wen Yifan''s expression froze and turned to look at Zhao Yuandong quietly.

    Zhao Yuandong did not notice, just asked: "Xinxin?"

    "I''ve been sleeping all afternoon, and I''m tired now." Finish saying, car wild goose Qin again pull the topic back to Wen Yifan body, "frost fall can be really more long more beautiful."

    Zhao Yuandong said with a smile: "yes, people can''t move their eyes."Che Yanqin: "it''s much better than when you were young."

    "Of course," Zhao Yuandong laughed, then took Wen Yifan''s hand and took her to sit down. "Let''s sit down first. Ah Jiang and his mother sit together and talk."

    “……”

    Che Yanqin sat on another sofa and asked casually, "what is frost doing now?"

    Wen Yifan didn''t speak.

    Instead, Zhao Yuandong took the initiative to help her answer: "it''s the same as when Yihe was a journalist."

    Che Yanqin frowned: "isn''t that not very profitable? It''s bitter. "

    "Ah Jiang just likes it," Zhao Yuandong said. "Anyway, money is enough to live, and it doesn''t need too much."

    "So it is." Che Yanqin suddenly put out her hand and patted Wen Yifan''s arm, like to be angry, "frost, how do you see your aunt also don''t shout people, how to read too much is not polite."

    Wen Yifan looked up at her and still didn''t say a word.

    "Ah Jiang is calmer than he used to be, and he doesn''t talk much anymore..." See the scene deadlock down, Zhao Yuandong smile with some embarrassment, "ah Jiang, you are also, why not call your aunt.". She''s kind to us. She used to help her mother take care of you for several years. "

    Che Yanqin is a smile again: "yes, I can treat frost like my own daughter."

    Wen Yifan only felt that their voices were like bombers, which made her head explode.

    She bowed her head and resisted the impulse to get up and leave now.

    "Yuandong." Seeing the fruit on the table, Che Yanqin said, "don''t you think frost has bought the fruit? You wash, we cut to eat, don''t waste some of her heart

    Zhao Yuandong just thought of this thing: "OK, I''ll get ready for dinner after eating a fruit."

    When Zhao Yuandong enters the kitchen, Che Yanqin stares at Wen Yifan''s face and says, "frost, you say you don''t know how to use your own advantages. You look so beautiful, just find a good husband to marry. How can you live so hard? "

    Wen Yifan thought he didn''t hear.

    "Don''t worry about your aunt. My aunt is also for your own good. It''s hard for me to see you so tired." Che Yanqin said, "if you quit your job and go back to Beiyu with your aunt, your aunt will continue to take care of you."

    "Your uncle has a partner. He is very rich. He may be older than you, but he is very nice to people." Che Yanqin said, "my aunt will introduce you. Don''t always live like this. You have to find someone to hurt you."

    Wen Yifan raised his eyes.

    Che Yanqin added: "also, your brother is going to get married this year, and there is no room for marriage. We used to take care of you for so long, so you should help. Anyway, you don''t need anything for a girl - "

    her" brother "is Che Yanqin''s son Wen Ming.

    "I met the boss of a company before," Wen Yifan interrupted her with a blank face. "He''s also very rich, and coincidentally, he likes men. Can I help you introduce Wen Ming to him? "

    “……” The car wild goose Qin Leng next, immediately fire, "you this kid how to talk!"

    Hearing the sound, Zhao Yuandong came out of the kitchen immediately: "what''s the matter?"

    Since he came in, Wen Yifan''s bag hasn''t been taken off. Now he stands up directly. She felt that her patience had reached the limit and arranged her clothes: "I won''t come back to you again."

    Zhao Yuandong didn''t hear clearly: "what?"

    Wen Yifan''s eyes to her, clear repeat: "this is my last time to you."

    “……”

    "I didn''t want to contact anyone. But my dad told me that I have to take good care of you after he leaves. " This time, Wen Yifan couldn''t even smile. He said slowly, "I can''t believe his last words."

    “……”

    "Then you think I died with him."

    By the time Wen Yifan got home, it was completely dark.

    She put on her slippers and raised her eyes to see sang Yan lying on the sofa playing with her mobile phone as usual. He was wearing casual clothes, his hair was scattered in front of his forehead, his sitting posture was very lazy, and he looked extremely comfortable.

    It overlaps with the teenager who sat behind her when he was young and touched her chair with his legs to find a sense of existence.

    The TV in the living room is on, and some unknown movie is playing. At this time, it''s making a boastful laugh.

    Wen Yifan stopped at the same place and called him: "Sang Yan."

    There was little communication between the two at home.

    Maybe it was an accident. Sang Yan raised his eyes and put down his mobile phone: "how?"

    “……” Wen Yifan regained his mind, swallowed what he said and laughed, "I may have to have an early rest today. Can you turn down the TV before nine o''clock?"

    Sang Yan stared at her for a while. This time, he said, "OK."

    Wen Yifan nodded: "thank you."

    She went back to her room and took a quick bath.

    After coming out of the toilet, Wen Yifan felt exhausted, so tired that he seemed to be able to fall asleep as soon as he closed his eyes. But there are countless pictures in her brain, tearing her spirit a little bit.Finally, it was pieced together by dreams and sleepiness.

    ……

    On the other side.

    See Wen Yifan back to the room, sang Yan directly turn off the TV. Always feel that she is not right, he continued to play the game for a while, soon lost the mood, straight out.

    Sang Yan opens the chat window with Wen Yifan: "what''s the matter with you? 】

    after staring at it for a while, sang Yan didn''t hesitate for a long time and sent it happily. Then, he carelessly opened the game, after the end of a game, the end did not reply.

    So fast to sleep?

    Seeing that it was late, sang Yan put his cell phone aside and got up to go back to his room. He took the laundry and went to the bathroom. When he saw the direction of the master bedroom, his eyes stopped and he went back to the living room to get his cell phone.

    I just went into the bathroom.

    Sang Yan turned up the volume of his mobile phone, took off his clothes and began to take a bath.

    When he finished taking a bath and turned on his mobile phone, he still didn''t reply.

    Sang Yan gently pulled his lips, put on his clothes and went out of the bathroom. He put his cell phone back in his pocket, wiped his hair with a towel, and walked towards the kitchen, intending to get a bottle of ice water to drink.

    He just got to the restaurant.

    The voice of opening the door suddenly rang out behind him.

    Sang Yan looks back.

    See Wen Yifan came out, the movement is a little slow, the expression is also dull.

    "What are you doing?" he said

    Wen Yifan didn''t speak and walked in his direction.

    Stopped in front of him.

    "You came out as soon as I had a bath? It''s not necessary to be so purposeful, "Sang Yan looked down at her and said," I want to see a beautiful man -- "

    before he finished, Wen Yifan suddenly reached out and hugged him.

    “……” Sonyan''s body froze.
