expired brother

Chapter 126 Weeping with joy

Zhang Xinghang is a student on duty cleaning the blackboard today, and the handwriting is very difficult to erase after returning from a vacation. He got his hands full, went to the toilet to wash his hands, and when he came back, he saw Ruan Fangyu's face was embarrassed and stiff. Huang Yang, who was confronting him, heard footsteps and looked up. Come on, those bright eyes are dark and dazed...

It reminded him of Zhuang Zhuang who begged for food.

"What's the matter?" Zhang Xinghang flicked the water on his fingertips twice, turned his eyes sideways, and asked Ruan Fangyu, "Did my son ask you for New Year's money?"

"No." Ruan Fangyu said, "His brain is cramped."

Huang Yang was shocked just now, and now he realizes the embarrassment of this question. It seems that Ruan Fangyu's answer is not right.

He cleared his throat in the silence between the desks, and continued with what he just started: "Huang Leiyue received an invitation letter for self-enrollment during the holidays, have you received it?"

Zhang Xinghang didn't know what happened just now, so he sat down and shook his head and said: "No." Then he asked: "Huang Leiyue told you?"

"That's right." For some reason, Huang Yang slightly raised the end of his response, and said indifferently as before: "He was the first one who got the letter to show off to me, and asked me where I plan to take the exam in the future. university."

"I'm sure I won't be able to get into his X university. City X generally has high scores, so I don't have to think about other universities. You all choose universities, and I am the university who chooses me."

After he finished speaking, he explained to himself, "It's useless to think so much, let's talk about it after the college entrance examination scores come down."

He maintained his casual and open-minded attitude, but in fact neither Zhang Xinghang nor Ruan Fangyu asked about his report to the school.

Zhang Xinghang seemed to understand everything, nodded his head twice, and poured chicken soup for him, "Diligence can make up for one's weakness, and it's not too late to start working hard now, not to mention 985, 211 can be stable."

"Really?!" Huang Yang's eyes were bright, and he began to urge, "Hurry up, lend me your homework."

Ruan Fangyu: "..." He smashed his hand with a book without mercy, and said fiercely, "First, let's get rid of the bad habit of copying homework."

It's not that X University looks down on Ruan Fangyu and Zhang Xinghang, but that they know that they don't have the ability to recruit such students, and throwing an olive branch will only take up the quota.

The tense time in the third year of high school is reflected in many aspects. After the [-]-day countdown is hung on the corner of the blackboard, the atmosphere is full.Regardless of whether you are a top student or a scumbag, you have started a busy and boring life in the school, cafeteria, and restaurant.

Only in the third year of high school, only two cafeteria windows were opened, and those two happened to be the worst ones with bad business on weekdays——

Big pot dishes, the chef is good at stewing in white water and soy sauce, and the auntie shakes her hands.

When it’s time for meals, there are few people who patronize. Those who are close to home go back to eat, and parents come to deliver a meal at noon when they are free or in good condition. The steaming hot soup is a good meal in winter.

Zhang Nanxing found an aunt for the two younger brothers, who was responsible for taking care of three meals a day.

Auntie is very professional. She knows that senior high school students have to eat a good lunch when they are tired. They have a balanced nutrition seven days a week and change their patterns-eggplant with minced meat, deep-fried grouper, crucian carp tofu soup, crispy pork with cumin, shredded green bamboo shoots mixed with scallops...

So much so that Zhang Nanxing and Ruan Fangyu didn't empathize with the hardships of senior year life.

Huang Yang's house was too far away, and he didn't have time to go back at noon, and his parents were busy with work, so they could only survive by eating bread and instant noodles from the canteen.After he inadvertently learned of Ruan Fangyu's menu on the third day, after being poisoned to death by the restaurant and choking to death on the fingertips of the bread, he decisively chose the third way - shameless.

So he dragged and dragged and started the road of following Cengfan—four dishes and one soup every day, and the food should be as fragrant as possible.

Huang Yang realized that he was embarrassed to be a light bulb after eating for two days, so he brought Huang Leiyue together again on the sixth day.

With two light bulbs, he'll be fine!

Zhang Xinghang has no opinion on this, anyway, the family has plenty of food, and doesn't care if there is one more or two.

Ruan Fangyu joked: "A family should be tidy."

Huang Leiyue didn't even swallow the meal, and his face burned.

It snowed all day on the tenth day of the lunar new year, covering the bare flowers and trees in the flower beds.

It was already midnight after the evening self-study, and there were still small flakes of snow floating in the air. It was cold and humid, but the air was extremely clean.

As the lights faded away, Zhang Xinghang took Ruan Fangyu's hand and stepped on the snow on the ground to go home.

Ruan Fangyu went to the printing room to help carry the papers before school, and her hands were numb from the cold. I don't know if it was an illusion, but it seemed that there was something in the palm of my hand.

"What did you take?" He asked Zhang Xinghang, trying to pull it out to take a look.

"It's nothing." Zhang Xinghang held his hand tightly to keep him from twitching. He turned his head and spewed a mouthful of white mist from his mouth. There was a street lamp above his head, and the warm light hit his face. It was something else, her ears were a little red, and she said something that Ruan Fangyu couldn't understand.

"a little nervous."

"what???"

"It's nothing." Zhang Xinghang turned his head away, and whispered again: "It's really nervous."

There was a big question mark on Ruan Fangyu's head.I said to myself that you roll on the sheets every day, holding hands so nervous?

The elevator door opened, Ruan Fangyu took out the key to open the door as usual, and comforted Zhang Xinghang with one hand in his trouser pocket beside him.

"Don't be nervous, there is no big problem. Your transcript is there, and you will be selected for admission in advance, and you will definitely be shortlisted."

Zhang Xinghang was stunned, and realized that he had made a mistake, and did not correct it.

The keyhole made a clicking sound, and Ruan Fangyu subconsciously touched the light when he entered the door, but the familiar living room was not completely dark, the warm yellow candlelight dispelled the darkness, it was quiet and warm.

There was a four-tiered cake on the coffee table. This was definitely the biggest cake Ruan Fangyu had ever seen... Candle flames flickered beautiful cross lights.

Zhang Nanxing was withdrawing his hand from the top with the lighter in his hand.Tan Yaozhou stood opposite him, vainly protecting him.

Hearing the sound of the door opening, both of them turned their heads.

"Ruan Ruan." Zhang Nanxing's entire face was reflected in the bright candlelight, and he smiled and said to him, "19 years old, happy birthday."

Ruan Fangyu was stunned by the scene in front of her.

Zhang Xinghang followed from behind, put his hand on Ruan Fangyu's waist and pushed forward, and said softly, "Brother, happy birthday."

"This is the first birthday I spend with you." He always remembered it on the tenth day of the first lunar month.

Ruan Fangyu's eyes widened, and she paused for a while before walking in, her face still full of astonishment.

The early admission exam is coming soon, and the homework has increased rapidly. These days, his mind is only busy with functions, electric fields, and charge transfer...

I forgot that today is his birthday.

"What are you doing standing there?" Zhang Nanxing saw that he was stiff and hesitant, and stretched out his hand to pull him to the cake.

The candle burned with heat, and the light was very bright, trembling with the light in Ruan Fangyu's eyes, and the wings of his nose flaring.

Zhang Nanxing rubbed the back of his head and said: "It's my birthday today, I don't want to cry."

Birthday is once a year, it is happy and auspicious, crying will bring bad luck.Ruan Fangyu knew that he couldn't and shouldn't cry.

After Grandma died, he never cried again.

Crying can't change anything, and the loneliness in my heart will flow out with tears, declaring my timidity and cowardice.

but……

Ruan Fangyu turned her head, bumped into Zhang Nanxing's arms, hugged Zhang Nanxing's waist, and buried her face deeply in it.

However, there is a kind of crying called crying with joy.

After Grandma's death, he didn't feel much affection anymore. Zhang Xinghang was his lover, and Zhang Nanxing treated him well, but after all, after 18 years,

Only now did he feel, in the candlelight that filled the room, how lucky he was to have these people on the side of the mountain.

Zhang Nanxing and Tan Yaozhou came back from a business trip, and there was an early meeting to be held the next day. After celebrating his birthday, they left after giving presents—they rushed here, ate a piece of cake with him, and wore stars and moons go back.

Zhang Xinghang went into the bathroom to take a shower, Ruan Fangyu sat on the sofa, holding these people's arms, he didn't know how to put them, maybe it was late at night, especially his mind was not sober, he had the illusion of dreaming in a trance.

When he was young, once he was fighting with someone during the day, his head was swollen, and he was thinking. At night, he dreamed that his mother appeared in front of him, stroked his forehead, and asked pitifully, "Does it hurt?"

His father took him by the hand and went to the child's house to ask for a lecture.

That was the most beautiful dream he had ever had. In the dream, he had parents and was not bullied or abused by anyone.But his heart was empty again, because the faces of those two people were exactly the same as the parents he saw in other people's houses on the street during the day.

At that time, Ruan Fangyu was in this kind of mood, happy and apprehensive, extremely unreal and insecure.

Ruan Fangyu carefully folded the car keys given by Zhang Nanxing and put them back in the original box, put the leftover cake back into the box and moved it into a cool storage room, and tidied up the messy things on the coffee table, waiting for the aunt to clean up tomorrow .

After doing all this, his mood slowly calmed down...

The sound of running water in the bathroom is all real.

The room was well heated, and when Zhang Xinghang came out of the bathroom with his upper body bare, Ruan Fangyu had already fallen asleep on the sofa.

He approached Ruan Fangyu, lowered his head and called "Brother" very softly.

Ruan Fangyu fell asleep and did not respond.
