113. Uncle and Brother (10)(1/2)
When Lu Yan left the room, Yuan Chengqi outside was mopping the floor. When Yuan Chengqi saw him awake, he said, "Please keep the breakfast in the pot, you can eat it."
This morning, Yuan Chengqi cooked white porridge and made a few more side dishes. It was just right to eat some easy-to-digest white porridge the next day. Lu Yan added a bowl of porridge and ate it slowly at the dining table.
He was eating and recalling what happened last night, but everything in his mind was blurry and he could not remember anything.
Lu Yan slowly stirred the porridge with a spoon, and looked up and asked Yuan Chengqi as if nothing had happened: "When did you come back yesterday?"
"About twelve o'clock."
"Why is it so late?"
"Because Lu Lang told me that you were drunk, I went to find you. But you came back first, you were already at home when I arrived."
Lu Lang?
Lu Yan frowned, and some memories of making a phone call emerged in his mind. He took out his cell phone and looked at it. Sure enough, he called Lu Lang at around 11 o'clock last night.
He called Lu Lang to ask about some family affairs yesterday evening, so Lu Lang was the last person in the call record. He didn't see it clearly last night, so he called Lu Lang casually.
Lu Lang...Lu Yan felt an ominous premonition in his heart as he looked at the name.
Anyone can be stupid in front of anyone, but you can't be stupid in front of Lu Lang. Otherwise, he wouldn't know where his brother's majesty would be placed.
Lu Yan asked uneasily: "I didn't do anything strange yesterday, did I?"
Yuan Chengqi looked back at him with a gentle smile on her face: "No."
Just don't have it.
He had almost no experience of getting drunk in front of others, so he didn't know what it would be like to drink after drinking. However, since he had not done anything strange, it shouldn't be too serious.
Lu Yan continued to drink porridge, and felt much more relieved.
However, he took two more sips, and Yuan Chengqi, who was still mopping the floor, suddenly said something.
"But you told me yesterday that you are five years old this year."
Lu Yan almost vomited a mouthful of porridge, staring at Yuan Chengqi with wide eyes.
"What do you mean!"
"Literally," Yuan Chengqi raised his head and smiled. No matter how Lu Yan asked him, he stopped talking.
Lu Yan was so anxious that he was restless, but Yuan Chengqi continued to drag the ground as if nothing had happened. Lu Yan couldn't ask why, but he didn't ask any more questions. He could only continue to eat porridge calmly, and pretended that nothing had happened.
After a while, Yuan Chengqi finished mopping the floor and was about to go back to the kitchen to clean up. When he passed by Lu Yan at the dining table, he suddenly bent down and whispered in Lu Yan's ear.
"We are the best at Little Yanyan. The dream of growing up is to be a king."
Lu Yan's hand movements stopped and he turned his head to look at Yuan Chengqi in an instant. However, he only saw Yuan Chengqi's smile-curved eyebrows, and then he touched his head like a child-like touch.
He was stunned. When he came back to his senses, Yuan Chengqi had already entered the kitchen.
"You make it clear!" Lu Yan chased to the kitchen, "What else did I say?"
"I didn't say anything." Yuan Chengqi still smiled.
"Love!" Lu Yan subconsciously reached out and grabbed Yuan Chengqi's hand. The expression of grabbing Yuan Chengqi changed. Lu Yan found that he was a little rude and quickly let go, "I'm sorry, didn't hurt you, right?"
"No..." Yuan Chengqi's face turned slightly red, and he gently touched the place where Lu Yan had just caught.
The atmosphere suddenly changed subtlely, and Lu Yan couldn't say anything wrong, but Yuan Chengqi knew that he was sensitive. Now he was doubting whether he had different thoughts about Lu Yan, so he was particularly sensitive to physical contact.
He no longer teased Lu Yan and briefly talked about what happened last night.
"Don't worry, you didn't say anything, you just answer whatever I asked you."
"What did you ask?"
"Ask your name, ask how old you are, what you like to eat, what you don't like to eat, and what you want to do when you grow up, that's it."
It was not a strange question. Apart from his age and dreams, he shouldn't have any strange answers. However, Lu Yan was still worried and asked again: "Is there any?"
"No more...oh, I also asked if you know who I am?"
"Do I know?"
Yuan Chengqi recalled the warm and itchy feeling in his heart when Lu Yan called him a child last night, and his face became hotter. He nodded and replied, "I know, you said I am your child."
After saying that, he raised his eyes to observe Lu Yan's expression, trying to see what Lu Yan's reaction was. However, Lu Yan only showed a relieved expression and raised his hand to touch his head.
"Fortunately, there is no problem with this answer. You are my child."
Lu Yan left, Yuan Chengqi stayed alone in the kitchen, raised his hand and touched the place he had just touched by Lu Yan.
He didn't know what he was feeling now. He seemed a little disappointed with Lu Yan's usual reaction, but he seemed a little happy because Lu Yan treated him as a child.
He couldn't figure it out and sighed helplessly.
Today is Saturday, Lu Yan doesn’t have to go to work, and after breakfast, he sits on the sofa to read the newspaper.
He looked for a while and suddenly saw Yuan Chengqi wiping his hands, going back to his room, and coming out with his backpack on his backpack.
"You want to buy something?" Lu Yan asked, "I'll take you there."
"Buy something?" Yuan Chengqi was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't understand why he said that, and then he realized after a moment, "I didn't want to buy something, I want to go home."
"Go home?" Lu Yan was stunned now.
"Well, nothing is wrong, I'll go back first."
"What are you doing when you go back?" Lu Yan stared wide, and he didn't expect that he had finally hoped that Yuan Chengqi would come back. As a result, Yuan Chengqi stayed for one night and was about to run away again. Yuan Chengqi didn't like to stay with him so much?
"I just finished all the housework. I wanted to go back first when I'm fine." Yuan Chengqi didn't quite understand why he looked a little unhappy, so he replied carefully, "You don't have much work here, and I don't have to prepare for the exam now, so I will find a daytime job and come to your side to help when cooking."
Lu Yan frowned.
Yuan Chengqi didn't understand even more.
"No?"
"no."
Lu Yan spoke firmly without any hesitation.
Yuan Chengqi didn't know what he thought, so he continued to explain carefully: "I will do my job here well and will not neglect here just because I look for other jobs... and, I have to pay back the money I owe your family."
"When did you owe our family money?"
"The salary Xiaoyang received, it's not worth that much money to teach Lu Lang to study." Yuan Chengqi said embarrassedly, "I know you want to help, but I can't just take advantage of it. I was preparing for the exam before, so I put down my work first. Now that the exam is over, I will work and pay back the money quickly."
After Yuan Chengqi finished speaking, Lu Yan's expression became even more gloomy, and Yuan Chengqi felt even more nervous when she saw it.
"Have you not reported the situation clearly yet?" Lu Yan said unhappily, "My parents give money to their son and brother give money to their younger brother. This is natural. Why do you have to pay back the money?"
"but……"
"No, but." Lu Yan did not give Yuan Chengqi a chance to refute, "And you are going to work now, aren't you tired of running around all day?"
"I will live in my own house..."
"You are still going to move out? Then what should I have for breakfast?"
"I'll come here to do it in the morning..."
"Then what should I eat for lunch?"
“…”
"I don't care, I'll just say that, you are not allowed to leave." Lu Yan raised his feet, looking uncontroversial.
Yuan Chengqi has made his own decisions since he was a child. It is rare that someone is so tough to decide for him. Although he is a little helpless at this time, he feels inexplicably happy.
Seeing Lu Yan's expression was cold and seemed to be angry, he had to sit next to Lu Yan silently.
"Wouldn't you be angry?"
"I'm not angry."
"Then you laugh."
Lu Yan looked at Yuan Chengqi coldly, and hummed in dissatisfaction. He was still unhappy that Yuan Chengqi left without thinking about his thoughts at all.
If Yuan Chengqi was as thick and thick as Lu Lang, he should have finished his beating first now, so there would be no chance for Yuan Chengqi to sit here.
Lu Yan looked at Yuan Chengqi, and Yuan Chengqi opened his eyes wide and looked innocent.
The two of them exchanged their eyes for a long time, and Lu Yan was almost calm. He was still angry, but he knew that this was not Yuan Chengqi's problem. Yuan Chengqi was still young and didn't think about many things so clearly.
"You really want to work?"
Yuan Chengqi nodded.
"What job are you going to find? As before, go to a restaurant to work? Go to cook and serve plates?"
Yuan Chengqi hesitated for a moment, but nodded.
"In the past, you were short of money and were young, so I had no objection to finding such a low-threshold job." Lu Yan said calmly, "But now that you are from my family, I will not let you do those jobs anymore. You should learn almost everything you can there, and it's time to study in another place. Do you want to work in my company or my company? I can also introduce you to Meng Yu's side. Working in these places is definitely more than you learn in restaurants."
Lu Yan rarely says so much. Yuan Chengqi listened quietly and thought about Lu Yan's words.
"Of course, if I were you, I would learn English first this summer, and there are still many places to use. If the major is determined, I will also study what certificate you need to take in later. You may feel that you are older than other students and will be anxious whether you need to do something quickly. But I tell you, it is not much different a few years earlier or later. You have to think longer-term."
Although Lu Yan's words were to prevent him from moving out, every sentence was reasonable. After listening to them, Yuan Chengqi found that he was indeed too stupid.
