Chapter 32

Revisiting old places is always exciting.

Yan Liang looked at the familiar and unfamiliar streets around him, subconsciously slowed down the speed of the car, and said unhurriedly: "The barbecue stall at the intersection tastes pretty good. The owner is from the Northeast, and the portions are quite generous..."

"The second milk tea shop on the left hand side of the traffic light, when it first opened, the business was booming. The boss always likes to organize couples to buy one get one free, so I often go to drink together...although most of them are fake."

"There is also the third floor over there, which is now a KTV place. It used to be an old Internet cafe. The environment is not good, but the ventilation is good. It is a good place to write black papers."

He carefully counted each building one by one, hearing Qin Yuan's inexplicable irritability, but he couldn't interrupt for some reason, and could only stare at the car window and his expressionless face on the glass.

Buildings flashed past the figure, and were quickly left behind, becoming untraceable phantoms.

Accompanied by the unhurried narration in his ears, he seemed to have really seen the bustling street some years ago, and the same but different students who were walking beside the road with laughter and laughter...

Yan Liang saw the needle and stopped the car on the side of the road: "Here we are."

He took care of unfastening his seat belt, but found that Qin Yuan seemed to be still in his original posture, until after a while, he blinked his eyes slowly, as if half a beat away.

"That's a lot of nonsense." The young master yawned half-truthfully, "I almost fell asleep because of you."

"Let's say it first, I'm very busy." After getting off the car, Qin Yuan emphasized: "I'll leave as soon as we meet..."

After all, according to the previous investigation, Yan Liang's interpersonal relationship is unbelievably clean, not to mention the non-existent scandals, and he doesn't even have many relatives and friends who really have a lot of personal relationships... let alone this kind of environment.The young master frowned and looked at the obvious embroidered stains on the doorknob, and took a step back reservedly, asking Yan Liang to push the door for him.

In this environment, who else can I see?

When he was thinking this way, the two came to the reserved box, and as soon as the door opened, they saw a pink figure rushing over and plunged into Yan Liang's arms.

And Yan Liang, who took a step back, pressed his back against Qin Yuan's chest, and the tip of his cool hair brushed against the tip of Jin Zhu's nose, carrying the unique fragrance of shampoo, which made the latter react for a while before remembering that he used the taste of.

But the heart still missed a beat inexplicably—until Yan Liang accidentally stepped on his toes when he was standing upright, the heavy pressure brought by the leather shoes brought Qin Yuan back to his senses, and finally saw the strange figure in the other's arms clearly.

These two actually hugged each other in front of him?

The young master was so angry that sparks burned to his throat: "Yan Liang, you fucking..."

"Come on, Momo." Yan Liang held his younger sister's hand: "Come and get acquainted, this is Qin Yuan, my friend."

Only then did Yan Mo see the other person's face clearly, her beautiful almond eyes flashed with astonishment for a moment, but she quickly reacted, showing a bright smile: "Hello, I'm Yan Mo, thank you for taking care of my brother."

Qin Yuan: "...brother?"

Like a fuse that had burned to the end suddenly misfired, the young master's expression froze in a moment of anger, turning into a stiff stone sculpture.

He never thought that Yan Liang would bring him to meet his family...

"You..." Qin Yuan's voice suddenly dropped an octave: "What the hell are you doing?"

"I just think that after we have known each other for so long, we should know each other." Yan Liang smiled and gave an inexplicable reason, but maybe his acting skills are so good, Qin Yuan didn't see the clue, and almost even himself Believe it.

But in fact, what is the relationship between the two, doesn't Yan Liang know?

"Okay, okay, what are you doing just standing here?" Yan Mo took the initiative to smooth things over: "The hot pot is already boiling, and it won't taste good after a long time."

Speaking of this, Qin Yuan couldn't continue to argue, and took his seat with a complicated mood.

Coconut chicken soup is pure coconut water, clear with a little milky white, a few pieces of coconut meat floating on the water, the warm air waves come with the unique sweetness of coconut, which is different from the hot and spicy aroma of ordinary hot pot Strong, but a unique flavor.

Yan Liang skillfully put the cleaned chicken into the pot, covered the lid and turned the hourglass on the table upside down, explaining: "You can eat it after the leak is over."

"...Of course I know." The young master muttered in a low voice. Perhaps the aroma of the food was indeed alluring, which made him relax a little, but he was still somewhat embarrassed.

Fortunately, Yan Mo has a lively personality, so he quickly chatted about the recent trifles, from the funny oolong made by the classmates together in class, to how the professor made a funny joke, all these things made Qin Yuan almost I just forgot that she is still a uremia patient and needs to go back to the hospital for regular checkups...

"Brother said, you helped him a lot at work." As if afraid of the embarrassment of the other party, Yan Mo took the initiative to bring the topic over. She looked at Qin Yuan with mixed emotions in her eyes, but unfortunately the latter did not dare to talk to that They stared at each other, staring at the few pieces of meat in the bowl.

"Yeah." Yan Liang looked at the benefactor pretending to be an ostrich with a half-smile, and said nonchalantly, "So I brought it here for you to see, so as not to worry."

"It was a little bit before, but after seeing this one, it's gone." The girl stuck out her tongue mischievously, "How did you know each other?"

"This, this is a long story..." Yan Liang lied without changing his expression, but he actually made up a logical "story". The little girl looked at Qin Yuan with great relish. There was admiration in his eyes, making the latter unhappy no matter what happened.

If it was left in the past, he would definitely get angry right away, but maybe it was really a guilty conscience, Qin Yuan was really patient for the first time, and waited until the meal was almost finished, and then took the opportunity of answering the phone to rush leave.

Seeing that person fleeing out of the box, the remaining brothers and sisters fell into a brief silence until Yan Liang reached out and offered his sister a bowl of hot soup.

"How are you doing recently? If there is any special situation, please let me know anytime..."

"Brother," Yan Mo suddenly withdrew her smile, changed her previous expression, and looked at her brother who was dependent on each other, with more sadness in her eyes. "Do you...do you miss him too?"

Yan Liang gently placed the bowl of soup in front of her.

"Do you still remember what day it is today?" He sat back on his seat, folded his hands in front of the table, his light tone seemed to be sighing.

"...Mmm." Yan Mo nodded lightly, eyes blurred by the hot food in front of her: "It's Brother Ning Xi's... birthday."

Ning Xi is an optimistic character, so even after his death, the two of them decided to commemorate the birthday instead of the death day, and agreed that no matter what, they would have a meal together on this day.

At first, Yan Mo didn't expect that the other party would bring another person, until she saw the other party's appearance clearly - the man named Qin Yuan, except for his temperament, was too similar to her dead brother Ning Xi.

"But that's not him after all." Yan Mo reminded in a low voice, "Brother Ning Xi is already dead...been dead for many years, we buried him with our own hands."

The ill-fated experience since childhood made this young girl much more mature than she looked, "Brother, you can't treat him as Ning Xi, it's too unfair."

Yan Liang just smiled: "This world is inherently unfair."

He didn't continue to delve into this issue, but brought the topic back to the care of the parents, which made Yan Mo's heart sore and soft.She knew it was not easy for her brother, and felt sorry for his hard work, so she had no choice but to stop here and say no more.

When they were separated, Yan Liang handed over the box of exquisitely packaged macarons to the other party, and personally sent her sister to the taxi.

Just when he was considering whether to take a taxi home as well, a familiar trotting engine roared to a stop in front of his eyes, and as the roof fell, Qin Yuan's handsome face was revealed.

The eldest young master looked at him with a complicated expression, and after a while he said impatiently: "If you don't get out, you can climb back by yourself later."

Naturally, Yan Liang would not be polite, opened the car door, and sat in.

After he fastened his seat belt and the car started smoothly, he said suddenly, "Why did you come back to pick me up?"

"This is the question I want to ask," Qin Yuan sneered, "Why did you bring me to see my sister?"

Yan Liang glanced at the other party's hand holding the steering wheel, "She's worried that I don't have any friends, so I'll bring a friend and let her meet... is there any problem?"

Perhaps because the other party's tone was too calm, Qin Yuan didn't know how to answer the conversation for a while, and he said coldly after a while: "But we are not friends."

"Of course." Yan Liang nodded: "This is just a play, you can understand it as a trick to coax the little girl to weave..." He seemed to smile: "Of course I know what our relationship is."

"...Then what's our relationship?" There happened to be a red light ahead, and Qin Yuan stepped on the brakes. He narrowed his wolf-like eyes slightly, and looked up and down at the calm young man in the passenger seat.

Crowds of students crossed the road on the zebra crossing, there was faint chatter and laughter, making Yan Liang subconsciously stare at the back of the fading youth until it disappeared in the blind spot of sight.

Before long, they also had such an agreement, such as taking the same university - Ning Xi said that as long as that is the case, they can still be classmates for a year, and they can go to and from school together and play together.

It is a pity that all these good things will not be realized in the future.

"What kind of relationship the young master wants us to have, we are what kind of relationship." As the red light flickered and turned green, Yan Liang spoke softly, her tone was obedient and calm, without any emotion at all.

The haze in Qin Yuan's eyes did not dissipate, but a sarcastic smile appeared on the corner of his uncontrollably raised lips, and he stepped on the accelerator amidst the sharp car whistle.

"That's what you said." The man's voice was hidden in the roaring engine, with a somewhat hoarse texture: "Speaking of it, we must do it."
