The king is here

Chapter 35

The twilight is all together, and the night is coming.The rosy clouds in the sky were replaced by twinkling stars, and a crescent moon quietly climbed up the treetops, and the hot pot that You's family had prepared for a long time was finally ready!

There are three pots on the long table, one is spicy, one is seafood and one is clear soup, whichever one you want to eat, you can put something in it yourself.Needless to say, Yan Yong prefers the seafood pot, and filled a plate with more than half of the pipi prawns.As for Fang Chenning and You Li, their bodies could only eat clear soup, and fearing that they would be hungry, Yan Ye gave them some sweet potato flour first.

Put all kinds of dipping sauces in a small bowl and stir them evenly with chopsticks. Take a bite to confirm that the taste is correct. Put something in the pot.

Yan Yong stared at the pippi shrimp and other seafood floating in the rolling soup, holding his face in his hands, his eyes glowing with anticipation.

You Tang rubbed a small bowl to Yan Yong's side, looked into the seafood pot with his head, and grinningly stretched out his chopsticks to stir it up: "Brother Yan Yong, do you mind if I eat some of your Pippi shrimp?"

"He doesn't mind if you don't touch his crayfish." Yan Yong was about to answer, but You San, who was busy beside him, said what he wanted to say first.

"Crayfish?" You Tang was taken aback for a moment, then shook his little head like a rattle, "I prefer Pippi shrimp, and I will definitely not compete with brother Yan Yong for crayfish."

Yan Yong glanced at You San, with long eyelashes drooping to hide the slightly complicated emotions in his eyes, and smiled without changing his face: "It's okay, you can get what you want to eat yourself, or tell me and I will help you."

"Thank you, Brother Yan Yong!" The little girl smiled happily, and sat at the table with her face propped up like Yan Yong, waiting.

Seeing the harmonious figures of the two sitting side by side, Lin Qiao's big eyes bent into crescent moons as she fished out cooked noodles from the pot for Fang Chenning and You Li to separate.

Today she dresses fashionably but stays at home. She doesn't put on exaggerated makeup on a whim, and she doesn't wear fancy clothes, but she is still very beautiful.

Pour sesame paste and stir in the noodles, Lin Qiao handed the bowl to Fang Chenning, and said with a hearty smile: "Our two families are really destined, not only our elders have a good relationship, but the children's relationship is also very good!"

"It's very good. Aren't Xiaoyong and your Jiasan'er good buddies? We lived together a while ago." Yan Ye said without raising his head while bending over to adjust the heat.

Hearing this, Lin Qiao turned her red lips dissatisfied and raised her eyebrows: "That brat is afraid that I will let him go shopping with him to hide from me, he is so uncute! Ugly boy! Even in his 20s, he is still so obnoxious!"

Fang Chenning and You Li lowered their heads and chuckled, but they didn't say anything.

The water in the pot was gurgling and boiling, You San had just put the cooked Flammulina velutipes and beef into Yan Yong's and You Tang's bowls respectively, when he heard his unreliable mother making arrangements for himself, his eyebrows were raised.

"Oh, mom, are you ashamed to say I'm a bear? You are the most bearable person in the whole family, okay?" You San cried out loudly for himself, and the exaggerated tone and expression of pretending to be wronged amused everyone else, "Sister Yan, Brother-in-law Yan, don’t listen to my mother’s nonsense, I’m avoiding her because I’m afraid of going shopping with her, although I’m really afraid of going shopping with her.”

Lin Qiao immediately rolled her eyes and pulled his ears: "Say that last sentence again!"

Cooperating with her movements, the cowardly You San kept saying "Ouch", and couldn't help explaining: "No, no, no, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid at all, really!"

Yan Yong was overjoyed, laughing together with You Tang.

Fang Chenning smiled lowly, and slowly picked up a noodle dipped in sauce and put it into his mouth: "Then why are you hiding from your mother? You are just afraid that she will drag you on a blind date, right?"

After finally saving his reddened ears from Lin Qiao, You San sat down beside Yan Yong, and nodded as if he was dead when he heard Fang Chenning's question.

"Yes, brother-in-law Yan, you are so right! Every time she is free, she has to take me to visit her friends' houses. It is called a relationship in the name of contact, but in fact it is aimed at the girl! Whenever I talk to someone I am very embarrassed when the girl is relatively silent, and I can't get through this day!"

You San’s accusation was full of tears, and even Yan Yong nodded in agreement with empathy, and took advantage of the situation to attack his sister: "Sister, you too, the last time I arranged a blind date for me, it turned out to be a big drama, if it wasn’t for my wit , I guess I won’t be able to get out now, do you think it’s embarrassing?”

"Hey, you are just giving you a stick to climb up, and you are blaming your sister!" Yan Ye was angry and funny, picked up a handful of cabbage and threw it at it, "Then if I knew it earlier I can't trick you like this!"

Before the cabbage hit Yan Yong's face, You San quickly caught it and tore it into the pot.

Yan Yong raised the corners of his mouth slyly, took out a ripe shrimp and peeled it off, and he still had to shiver: "Anyway, sister, you already have a criminal record, so I won't go if you introduce it to me in the future."

"Stinky boy!..."

"You said that you two sisters and brothers, and the mother and son watching the theater over there are really similar." You Li ate noodles and watched the fire from the other side, and commented with a smile, "One is too big, and the other is blind." Worry about it. It’s best to let things take their course, you can’t force it.”

Lin Qiao grabbed his arm, snatched a mouthful of noodles from under his chopsticks, and said inarticulately while eating: "You are the only one who knows everything, so if I don't care, let him live alone with Fifth Miss all his life?"

"Five..." You Li almost sprayed her face with a mouthful of noodles, not knowing whether to laugh or cry, "You are the one who knows everything, you really have no taboos!"

"Hey, I know everything, you know me, so rounding up means you know everything!" Lin Qiao smiled sweetly and stuck it to You Li's shoulder, showing the shyness of a little girl.

Yan Ye couldn't help laughing after seeing it, and then turned her head to stick to Fang Chenning's body.

The two men just let their wives lean on them.

So, when the two couples of loving parents finally remembered their juniors who were still single, they looked back and saw Yan Yong wearing a pair of sunglasses they got from nowhere, digging into the pot to eat in a serious manner.

"What kind of sunglasses do you wear at night?" Fang Chenning asked with a smile.

Yan Yong calmly pushed the frame of the sunglasses, helplessly and powerlessly said: "There is no way, if we don't wear them, our krypton gold dog eyes will be blinded by you."

"If you have any opinions, you can find one yourself. If you don't look for it, you can be envious." Lin Qiao stuck out her tongue at them, and when she turned her head to face You Li, she smiled sweetly, and opened her mouth to ask him to feed her noodles, but she was always restrained. You Li chose to follow suit.

The three of them suddenly felt an arrow in their hearts.

You San secretly glanced at Yan Yong without saying a word, Yan Yong clutched his chest to seek comfort from Crayfish, and You Tang... She was lamenting her first thousand and sixty-seventh failed first love, but no one wanted to talk to her.

"Here, your crayfish." After peeling off the shell, he put the fresh and tender shrimp meat into a bowl and handed it to Yan Yong. You San smiled at him, and continued to put his favorite things into the seafood pot.

Yan Yong held the bowl in both hands, and he could clearly feel the hotness of the shrimp meat in the bowl, but You San just peeled the shrimp shells for so long with bare hands.

He was a little dazed, but a faint warmth filled his heart.

In many cases, it is some insignificant details that are more likely to arouse people's emotion.

A hot pot meal is enjoyable, which not only increases the relationship but also satisfies the stomach. It can be said to kill two birds with one stone.

One person ate half of the seafood he bought. Yan Yong, who has always claimed to be a big eater, was overwhelmed, but there was still food on the table.

There were a lot of things that he hadn't finished eating, so he looked greedy, so he simply went out for a walk to digest, and then came in to continue eating.

When he went out, he passed by the parent group, he laughed at them who were still unscrupulously showing affection, and then quickly slipped out of the door before his sister threw something at him, his physical strength was comparable to that of a martial arts master.

"He's just jealous!" Yan Ye snorted, picked up the shelled and dipped crab meat and fed it to Fang Chenning's mouth.

"...Brother, help me get the soybean paste." You Tang, who watched the whole process, looked away unbearably, and tugged on You San's sleeve.

You San, who had been helping Yan Yong with seafood and handing over food but didn't eat a few mouthfuls, watched Yan Yong's figure disappear by the door, and the thoughts that came up in the afternoon came to his mind again. Be as clear as possible.Even if they can't be together, he doesn't want to be unable to see Yan Yong forever, even being friends.

After giving You Tang what she wanted, You San put down his bowl and chopsticks and followed him out, hesitating for only a few seconds.

Biting the rim of the bowl, You Tang was thinking for no reason at first, then raised his eyebrows to look at the direction the two left, rolled his eyes, and said softly: "Brother, is this going to have a formal showdown with him?"

In the yard, the moon is bright and the wind is light and the clouds are calm.

Autumn cicadas humming incessantly from the green shade, and the dim moonlight illuminates the lush flowers and trees, letting the night wind shake them down and rustle their shadows.Yan Yong stood in this piece of light and shadow, with his cheeks slightly raised, feeling the gentle itchiness of the breeze passing over his face, the fragrance of flowers lingering in his nose, and his whole body was comfortable.

It is the time of the moonlight.

The suburbs are really nice, away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and the scenery is beautiful.When he gets old, he must buy an old house like this in the suburbs.

Yan Yong, who was still young but already thinking about old age, stood for a while, letting the cool breeze blow away the smell of fireworks from his body, while thinking about the leisurely old life.A few minutes later, he felt that there was room in his stomach, and he was about to turn around and go back to eat when he heard the sound of "rustling" footsteps behind him.

Yan Yong suddenly felt nervous, it was strange that he could guess who it was.

"Breeze."

The familiar call sounded, and it almost became a certain person's exclusive address, only he would call himself that.

Yan Yong turned around slowly, raised his eyelids, and looked at You San under the cover of night.The white casual shirt looked a little bulky on him, and the wide sleeves and hem were soothing in the wind, rattling.

He stared intently at Yan Yong, his dark eyes were shining brightly even in the night.

"you……"

Yan Yong happened to be standing where the shadow of the tree swayed, and the moonlight cast a light shadow, separating the two of them in different spaces.It seems to be close at hand, but in fact it is out of reach.

You San didn't seem to notice this subtle fact, nor did he seem to notice the clarity in Yan Yong's eyes.He looked up at the sky, then looked around at the scenery around him, and suddenly smiled, releasing the knot in his heart that had been condensed for a long time.

"Yan Yong..." You San said solemnly, this was the first time he called Yan Yong's name, "I..."

The wind moved the ends of her hair, and her bangs were pulled down to cover Yan Yong's side cheeks.

The moonlight is faint, and the faint silver glow has a bit of a sultry taste, which is the best atmosphere to express your heart.

"I like you."

There is no need to prepare, let alone be nervous. You San has rehearsed countless times in his heart, so when the opportunity comes, he will naturally say the words that have been hovering in his heart for a long time.Before today, how much he wanted to tell Yan Yong how he felt, but when it came time to speak, the only thing he could say, worth saying, was this one sentence.

One sentence is enough.

I like you, so for the first time I cook and clean the house for people other than my family.

I like you, so I feel sad for you, and I am not like the free and easy-going self I used to be.

I like you, so I try my best to be excellent for you. I only hope that when you see me, there will be a little different light in your eyes.

I like you, so I picked up and let go of the habit of writing a diary for many years for you. Every word and every word is my heart that I will not express.

I like you, so I hope you will always be safe and healthy, even if you don't have me in your safe and healthy life.

No matter how much I do for you, I still feel that it is not enough, no matter how bitter it is, it is still sweet, all because I like you.

Loving someone is really tiring, but also very happy.Because in such a big world, I am still fortunate enough to meet you and have the opportunity to become outstanding for you.

I like you very well.

"Thank you." Yan Yong saw what You San didn't say, and was a little moved, so his rejection became more determined, "But I can't lie to you, gratitude and touch are emotions, not emotions. So, I'm sorry .”

The ending of this confession was doomed from the very beginning, so when you heard the expected answer, although You San had a sharp throbbing heart, the pain was not as painful as he imagined.

Shaking his head with a low smile, You San looked up at the cold crescent moon, and suddenly said without thinking: "The moonlight tonight is so beautiful."

The witty Yan Yong couldn't help being puzzled when he heard this, but he still responded: "Yes, it's really beautiful."

You San knew that he didn't hear his implication, but he didn't mind, he just said softly: "Let's go in, otherwise Xiaotang will eat up everything."

"Okay." Yan Yong nodded, suddenly wanted to say something, but he didn't say it after all.

There's nothing wrong with that, at least... at least they can still be friends.For Yan Yong, this is the best result.

……

The real meaning of You San's words is that the moon represents my heart...
