It's okay, don't flirt!

Chapter 23 Chapter 23

Knowing that Yan left quietly, his chest was congested, and every time he took a breath, he had to use all his strength, but he still couldn't breathe like a lack of oxygen.

Passing by the ski rental shop, he went straight in, bought a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, and walked back to the hotel with heavy steps.

The elevator ascended to the top floor, and the sound of the door opening recalled Ming Zhiyan who was in a trance. He stepped out of the elevator and went up to the rooftop through the safe passage.

The wind was whistling, the darkness was dark, knowing that Yan found a high platform and sat down, with his head down, smoke in his hands, and a weak fire in his hand, after lighting it, he took a deep breath, stayed for a long time, then raised his head and slowly exhaled the smoke, The thin white smoke was instantly swept away by the cold wind, leaving no trace.

He thought of Han Le.

That year he secretly went to the airport to see him off, and he watched from a distance, Han Le was alone dragging two big boxes, and the road was unstable.After Han Le fell, he came out and took the box in his hand.

"Where are your parents?"

Han Le's eyes were flushed, and his eyes were indifferent, "At home." After saying that, he took back the box and pulled it crookedly.

Ming Zhiyan stopped him and said, "I'll see you off."

Han Le frowned, raised his chin slightly, and replied coldly, "No need."

Knowingly ignoring the words, he dragged the suitcase and walked towards the check-in desk.Han Le grabbed his arm and said angrily, "Enough! Does it make sense! Can you take me on the plane, can you help me live abroad! Can you give me back my life!"

Tears couldn't stop flowing down, he bit his lip and took a breath, "Do you understand what you destroyed!"

Knowing that Yan's arm was hurting from being clenched, and Han Le's strength was getting heavier, he murmured in a low voice, "The Chinese department... It was possible to think about it before, but now there is no hope... My parents don't want it either." See me, I'm exiled, homeless..."

After venting all the pain in his tightly clenched hands, Han Le regained the suitcase and said lightly, "It's so easy to destroy other people's dreams and lives, and I'm unscathed? It's nice to have money."

Han Le left without looking back, unwilling to say goodbye to him, unwilling to hear his apology.

Knowing that thinking of this, Yan's throat was congested again, and the fire was burnt out, so he lit his cigarette again and smoked one by one silently.

When He Ming found him, the ground was already full of cigarette butts.

Mingzhiyan raised his eyelids feebly, smoked his voice hoarsely, and asked softly, "Is there any smoke?"

He Ming sat down to smoke with him, "What's wrong?"

Ming Zhiyan smiled indifferently, his Adam's apple moved slowly, "I'm broken in love."

He Ming exhaled smoke and sighed deeply, "Although he said that, things are uncertain..."

Knowingly interrupting him, he said in a hoarse voice: "Brother Ming, back then, before the city was full of trouble, it could actually be settled."

He was holding a cigarette, watched the red light flickering, and coughed twice, "His mother was suspicious first, asked insincerely, and followed Han Le for a while. At that time, he said that he was afraid of being discovered and wanted to break up. Said to wait until college to talk about it.

But, I didn't agree... After that, it was broken within two months..."

Ming Zhiyan lowered his head and smiled sadly, "Our family may really do whatever they want. If we casually walk into other people's world, it may ruin his life. If we can get out completely, others must Give up your dreams."

He Ming's shoulders twitched and he fell into silence.That year when Shen Jiang applied to go abroad for exchange, he used his connections to reject his application. After Shen Jiang learned about it, he broke up and said the same thing - why do you want to destroy other people's dreams so casually!That was followed by three years of parting and regret.

He Ming asked: "Are you going to let go?"

Ming Zhiyan was silent for a while, then said, "I will give him whatever he wants."

"Want to drink?"

Knowing that he couldn't laugh, he shook his head lightly, "I can't put down the wine even more."

He Ming handed him another cigarette, and in the bitter cold wind, until late at night, the light of the little fire kept flickering.

On the second day, they were about to leave at noon. Teachers who had physical strength and leisure time would go to play early in the morning. Yan Jing and Shen Jiang lazily nestled in the hotel watching TV, checked out with their bags, and boarded the bus.

Yan Jing pretended to glance at it unintentionally, He Ming leaned against the window and closed his eyes, but Ming Zhiyan was nowhere to be seen.

Shen Jiang went straight to He Ming and sat down, sitting behind Shen Jiang rigorously, his eyes wandering restlessly between the window and the car door.

The car door closed slowly, the engine started shaking and the car windows shook, He Ming opened his eyes, and leaned against Shen Jiang to fall asleep again.

Strict and anxious, he reminded the driver, "Wait! The principal hasn't gotten into the car yet."

He Ming turned his head and said in a hoarse voice, "He has already left."

Strictly stunned, nodded, looking at the receding scenery outside the window, feeling dull.

After returning to the apartment, there was still no one in the room, and he called his brother rigorously and unwillingly, but sure enough, no one was at home.His heart suddenly felt empty, and the corners of his mouth drooped almost imperceptibly.

Maybe something happened to the senior brother suddenly, this is also very good, and saves the embarrassment of meeting.

On the second day, at the regular meeting, knowing that Yan did not show up, the dean temporarily assumed the position of principal and assigned various tasks.

After the meeting, Yan Jing chatted with the dean for a long time, and Director Liu was so annoyed that he wanted to pee, so he asked awkwardly, "Why didn't the principal come to the meeting?"

Director Liu replied: "The principal said he was not feeling well, so let me preside over the work. You must have caught a cold while skiing, and your throat is hoarse from coughing." He suddenly realized, "Don't you live in the same room with the principal?"

Smiling rigorously and without embarrassment, "I, um, I still have something to do, so let's go first, Director Liu." After speaking, he quickly slipped away.

He held the phone, turned on the screen and locked it again, wouldn't it be too unfamiliar to send a text message to greet him?Yan Jing struggled on his own for a long time, but still made up his mind to visit the school hospital in person.

"Which ward does the principal live in?"

The little nurse flipped through the records and shook her head. The principal never came to see the doctor.

Strictly stunned, he didn't go home when he was sick, and he wasn't hospitalized, so where did he go?

Yan Jing dialed the phone, but it rang twice before being cut off. He planned to call again, but received a text message.

Mingzhi said: [What's wrong? 】

Yan Jing quickly replied: [Brother, where are you? 】

Mingzhi said: [at home. 】

He didn't come back yesterday, and he didn't see anyone in the house when he left in the morning. When he carefully compiled a message to send, he suddenly understood that he knew that he was talking about his home, not the dormitory apartment.

He deleted the message word by word, and re-edited: 【Then I wish you a speedy recovery. 】

There was a sudden silence over there. After a long time, when the screen was turned on again, there was only a short "um".

Rigorousness finally doesn't need to play games every day, and doesn't need to blow the cold wind at night to watch the moon.The embarrassment was gone, and life returned to normal, but I always felt that something was missing in my heart, dangling and unstable.

He began to tidy up the house diligently again, helping Ming Zhiyan remove the sheets and quilt cover and change it, cleaning it clean and orderly, thinking that his senior brother would be able to live comfortably after returning from a long illness.

Time seems to be frozen by the cold winter, and it goes extremely slowly.

Finally came the regular meeting again.

Ming Zhiyan sat far away from the meeting table, leaning on the back of the chair, with a serious expression, looking at the documents and listening to the reports of the team leaders.Yan Jing had nothing to do, looked at him in a daze, and found that the awkwardness seemed to be gone, and they could be normal brothers again.

After the meeting was over, I strictly followed Ming Zhiyan, asked about my health, and smiled brightly, "Brother, in order to celebrate your recovery, I will cook tonight, what do you want to eat?"

Knowing that Yan talked less and less all the way, he always walked half a body forward beside Yan Jing.He stopped, turned his head, and said, "I don't live in the apartment anymore. I will go home to live in the future. If there is nothing else, I will go back to the office first."

Yan Jing was stunned for a while, then nodded, knowingly smiled, leaving Yan Jing behind, and walked to the office alone.

After work, when I came home, I carefully looked at the sheets on the balcony that had been dried, then put them back, carried them to Mingzhi's room, and silently folded them neatly.Opening the closet, he saw the light pink shirt he had worn, paused for a moment, put the bed sheet in, and left the room.

The end of the term is approaching amid busy and heavy work tasks.After handing out the report card, he instructed the precautions for the holiday, and waved his hand rigorously, "Let's have fun and have a good year."

The students cheered and ran away hurriedly.

The teachers also left the school one after another and went back to their hometowns to prepare for the festival.

Shen Jiang is leaving too, before leaving, he came to see Yan Jing, "Come and play at my house, we have few family members, so it will be lively when you come."

Strictly sent him out of school, said with a smile: "I'm busy, I can't be idle even during holidays."

Shen Jiang got into the car, he waved his hand, the car went far away, he turned around and went back to school with his pockets on, the guard Lao Wang came to ask: "Xiao Yan, are you still on vacation?"

Grinning rigorously, "I won't go, I'll accompany you."

Old Wang squinted his eyes, "That's a good thing, old man, I'm just worried."

After chatting with Lao Wang for a few words, Yan Jing felt hungry, so he left Lao Wang and went back to the apartment.

The end of the new year is approaching, He Ming skipped dinner and came to Ming's house to complain to the two brothers.

As soon as He Ming entered the door, he asked, "Where is Zhixing?"

Knowingly, he replied: "I went to accompany my sister-in-law for a prenatal checkup."

He Ming walked towards Ming Zhiyan's room talking to himself, and said sourly, "Tsk tsk, next year he will be able to have his wife and children on the bed." Comparing the two, he felt more miserable, and swore bitterly, "Next year, we must take Jiang Jiang is married, and the two places have to be separated for the big festival, it's so fucking hard."

Ming Zhiyan sat back on the sofa, held up a book to read, but didn't even answer half a word.

He Ming talked by himself for a long time, feeling bored, seeing Ming Zhiyan's indifferent expression and concentrating on the book, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Jiang Jiang said... the little bastard didn't go home, he's still living in the dormitory."

Ming Zhiyan's heart twitched slightly, his eyes dimmed, he closed the book, stood up, "I'm going to get water, what do you want?"

He Ming stayed for more than half a day before leaving, but what he said remained in Ming Zhiyan's heart.Every day when I wake up, I know that Yan will fall into long-term meditation.

Zhou Yun noticed that her son was talking less and less, and said with concern: "What's the matter, it's already thirty years old, is it because mom's food is not good, or is she not beautiful, so unhappy?"

Knowing that she had regained her composure, she stood up and smiled, "Mom, I'll bring a friend and ask Mama Wang to prepare an extra meal for one person."

Zhou Yun didn't have time to ask, knowing that Yan had already left the house.

Although he knew that doing so would only make him more reluctant to let go, but he didn't want to let Yan Jing spend New Year's Eve alone.At worst, all previous efforts will be wasted, anyway, there is still a lifetime to forget him.

Knowing that Yan hurried up the stairs, the hand that turned the key trembled, he pushed open the door, the room was quiet, the temperature was warm, and his smell still lingered in the air.

Knowing that there was a call and no one was at home, he probably went to buy new year's goods.It's been more than a month since I left, and the apartment has been neatly tidied up as before. Sure enough, it's the place that makes people feel most at ease and warm.

Knowing that Yan sat quietly at the dining table and waited, the smile on the corner of his mouth never faded.

The shadow of the sun moved westward, knowing that Yan didn't know how long he had waited, when there was a knock on the door.He opened the door in doubt, but saw that it was Lao Wang, the guard.

"Principal, are you still leaving? Well, I'm going to lock the door and go home for the New Year."

Mingzhi said: "Teacher Yan hasn't come back yet."

Old Wang smiled, "Xiao Yan, he can't come back."

The author has something to say:

I have always said that the updates at night are all fake updates, I didn't expect to be slapped in the face today...
