Chapter 39
Chapter 39
Let's go and don't be late again. "Dad said.
Qin Tian made an appointment in Jiangnan to meet at 11:[-]. Since he hadn't eaten well for many days, Qin Tian chose a restaurant where he had eaten very well before. The price of one meal can be worth half a month's takeaway.But he sat down with hope, and Qin Tian lost the desire to continue eating after only two mouthfuls.I don't know if it's because of the change of chef or because of the comparison. I always feel that there is nothing delicious on the table. This salt and pepper ribs is far worse than Jiangbei's.
Jiang Nan ate happily, and when he was almost full, he raised his head, looked at Qin Tian and said, "Why do I feel that this meal is not very solid?"
"You also think this dish is not tasty?" Qin Tian was inexplicably relieved, it was not his problem.
Just thinking about whether to give some constructive suggestions to the restaurant after eating, Jiangnan tapped the plate with his chopsticks and said, "I'm asking you, what is the ulterior purpose of calling me out?"
"That's what I said." Qin Tian did have a clear purpose, but when asked by Jiang Nan, it seemed that he really had something to hide. "I haven't seen Jiangbei people for many days, and I can't get through the phone. I'm a little worried...that... Jiangbei..."
When the words came to his lips, Qin Tian suddenly didn't know how to ask.He looked at Jiangnan for a while, and asked tentatively, "Are you and Jiangbei siblings? Born to the same parents?"
Jiang Nan looked at him and said nothing, and after a while he said, "Do you want to ask about our family?"
Qin Tian smiled unnaturally, he had never taken the initiative to inquire about the privacy of other people's homes, he was able to ask this sentence probably because he had eaten too much waste oil and monosodium glutamate recently, his brain had been separated from his consciousness, and he regretted it after asking.He took a sip of the juice and said, "I'll ask casually, just pretend I didn't say anything."
Jiang Nan smiled, put down his chopsticks and leaned back in the booth, "Don't be so careful, there's nothing you can't say. I'm different from my brother. You've known him for a long time. It depends on his temperament. You know, the situation in our family is indeed a bit complicated."
Qin Tian didn't speak, and didn't know what to say.
"My mother used to be a third child for others. She gave birth to me when she was a teenager, and later gave birth to my brother. She was able to persevere. But she couldn't persist until the end. When my brother was two years old, she chose to leave the school. Man, after we got here, we married our current father." Jiangnan narrowed his eyes, staring at the drink in hand and said, "Dad is very nice, he is very temperless, and he is very kind to my mother, me and my brother. When I was young, I followed my mother and was often pointed at the spine and scolded. I got used to scolding and scolding. Sometimes I can scold people. But Jiangbei has been like a ball of cotton since he was a child, and he thinks a lot. Ever since I was sensible, I was forced to bear all kinds of accusations and stares from others, and gradually stopped talking, and when I got home... I wondered if my mother's aggressive and willful personality gave it to me. I, and Jiangbei only inherited that man, it would be great if he could change it."
"Jiangbei...it's pretty good." Qin Tian could only squeeze out this sentence for a long time, and then he didn't know what to say.
"It's very good. He never fights back when he is scolded or beaten. His demeanor is enough." Jiang Nan smiled softly, took a sip of his drink, and said, "My younger brother is very distressing. My family is like this. No one knows what to do to make him feel better, at least he must have the confidence to be a human being. However, it has been very difficult to make him happy for so many years... Except for his A dog who hardly ever smiles with our family."
Is that right?
Qin Tian thought about it for a while, and felt that although Jiang Bei was inferior and introverted, he did not laugh less than him when it was time to laugh, and his tongue was quite sharp.So what Jiangnan said made him very incomprehensible.
Or is it that the family members are more demanding, and a smile with at least eight teeth showing is considered a smile?
In this way, it can be said that he never laughed when he was at home.It's no wonder that when Dad saw him, he had a lifeless look of disgust.
After Jiang Nan finished speaking, he just sat there in a daze, without making a sound for a long time.Qin Tian didn't make a sound, and absent-mindedly stirred the juice in the glass with a straw.
This meal was a bit embarrassing, especially after such an embarrassing start, it was hard to figure out how to end it.Sure enough, he is still not suitable to rely on the image of this kind of warm neighbor big brother.
Qin Tian sighed.
Jiang Nan suddenly raised his head and stared at him appreciatively, "I have always been a little surprised when I answered your call in the morning, and now I am even more suspicious... Has Jiang Bei stayed with you all this time? ?”
"Ah?" Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, then nodded again, "Yes."
"I'll just say it!" Jiang Nan slapped the table hard, almost jumping up in fright. "My dad said that he was reviewing with a classmate at home, and I thought it was wrong. Can he have good classmates like that? Still reviewing together? It is a hundred times more credible to say that the school has added evening self-study. But It doesn't look like he caused any trouble outside, but every day when he returns home, he is still in high spirits, so he went to your place!"
Jiang Nan lay down on the table, looked at Qin Tian with his chin up, "It's really strange, hey, tell me, what are you two doing together?"
"Two big men, just stay together, what else can they do..." Qin Tian said.
"Fart! Why don't you do it, Jiangbei can play with you like this?"
"What's wrong with me?" Qin Tian said, "Don't you still enjoy sitting and eating with me?"
"That's right, our siblings look like their own." Jiang Nan clicked his tongue and said, "I mean that kid in Jiangbei didn't know how to get along with people since he was a child, and he never took the initiative to make friends. It's really unexpected to play with you. When I was a child, a little girl who moved in next door saw Tian'er turning behind his butt, and he didn't even look at him. A box of sorghum was given to him, and he slapped him in the ditch with a blank face. The little girl cried all afternoon. I felt very sorry for the little girl. Later, the little girl's family moved away I haven't seen him play with other kids anymore."
Qin Tian wanted to laugh a little.Jiang Bei looks like a very good-looking boy. He must have been cuter when he was a child. It is not surprising that a little girl would like him, but when he thinks of such a cute Jiang Bei slapping his heart-filled sorghum into the fan ditch with a cold face, that picture really...
But it's sad when you think about it.At that time, Jiang Bei was already very resistant to interacting with people. He was still so young, so he felt so uncomfortable.
"······We will play the drums and play the piano when we have nothing to do." Qin Tian cleared his throat and said embarrassedly, "Cooking or something·····"
Jiang Nan didn't seem to have any special ideas about cooking, but he was slightly taken aback when he heard drums and pianos being played, "You teach him?"
"Yeah." Qin Tian said, "Seeing that he likes it a lot, let's teach him how to play."
"No wonder..." Jiangnan fell into deep thought again, and looked at Qin Tian after a while and said, "My sister is really not very competent, and I didn't expect him to like anything... "Are you... still willing to continue teaching him?"
Qin Tian also looked at her.
"I think Jiangbei has changed a lot during this period. Although I can't say exactly what is different, it is much better than before. At least I am willing to play with you." Jiangnan said, "I just want to say, if you don't mind , look at Jiangbei for me in the future, and teach him to play the drums and the piano. My younger brother is more worrying. My father is busy making money to support the family every day, and he doesn't know how to guide and educate the children. Sometimes I can't take care of it. , I am in a mess... You are a nice person, more educated and thoughtful than us, Jiang Bei will definitely have some good influence with you."
"Suddenly I'm embarrassed to hear you boasting so much." Qin Tian smiled, "Why don't you finish this meal."
"Don't! Talking about feelings will spoil the atmosphere." Jiang Nan laughed and sat up.
Qin Tian was also amused, laughed for a while, and said, "I like Jiangbei quite a bit, otherwise I wouldn't ask you these questions..."
"I see." Jiang Jiang looked at him and said, "My brother's cooking is not good enough for ordinary people to eat, so you can't bear to eat just this one."
Qin Tian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly felt the embarrassment of being exposed his true inner thoughts, his face burned.
Hey, you foodie, you've already put your face on it, so what are you talking about!
When Jiang Bei opened his eyes, he felt his head was groggy, and his brain was bubbling like boiling.The sunlight came in through the gaps in the curtains, which was a bit dazzling. I wanted to take out my phone to see what time it was. I took it out from under the pillow, only to realize that the phone hadn’t been turned on for many days.
He didn't turn on the phone all the time because he was afraid that Qin Tian would call him. He didn't know how to continue to face Qin Tian after being bumped into such an embarrassing scene by Qin Tian. He was also afraid of turning on the phone to face Qin Tian. In fact, the fact that there was not a single phone call again.
There is no notification of incoming calls or text messages on his mobile phone. Even if he turns it on now, he still has no way of knowing whether Qin Tian has called him or not.
Dad went out, and there were medicines and a note reminding him to take medicine on the table.Jiang Bei took the medicine and had no appetite to eat. He opened the balcony door to release Hei Zi, who was locked in by his father, and took Hei Zi out.
Chapter 37
After lying on the bed for three days, and without eating, my legs were a little wobbly when I walked, as if I was dancing while stepping on cotton.But today the weather is fine, the sun is shining, and the old north wind is not blowing
