Chapter 121 "Who Falls in Love with Him First"

Jiang Yu originally thought that both of them would be free in the afternoon, and half of the weekend plan could be implemented.But when he learned that two movie tickets cost nearly two hundred yuan, Qi Nuliang simply took Jiang Yu home.

When he entered the door, he threw the remote control to Jiang Yu: "Your TV is big enough, and you can watch movies, why spend that money."

"The new movie is not on TV yet."

"Wait for a while, you can watch something else today. The fifth movie will be broadcast in the cinema, and you can watch the first four first."

Jiang Yu was helpless: "There are no 3D glasses and surround sound effects."

Qi Nuliang frowned: "...Why are you so troublesome, are you a little girl?"

"...All right, you are my brother, you have the final say." Jiang Yu picked up the remote control, "Let's watch together?"

"The longer I live, the younger I am. I need someone to accompany me to watch TV." Having said that, he still sat down.

Jiang Yu closed the curtains of the living room, brought a bunch of snacks and a few cans of beer, and moved the sofa to a comfortable distance.Everything was ready, the two of them occupied one end of the sofa and began to choose a movie.

Every time he stopped at the option of martial arts movies, Qi Nuliang straightened his body, and Jiang Yu jumped over, and he was discouraged again.

Jiang Yu laughed: "Brother, is it okay not to watch martial arts movies today?"

"Stop talking nonsense and pick one quickly."

In the end Jiang Yu chose one - "Who fell in love with him first".

When Qi Nuliang saw the title, Romance Movie, his interest immediately dropped by more than half.But he pulled the enthusiastic Jiang Yu back from the movie theater and agreed to watch it with him. At this time, he suddenly said that he didn't want to watch it, which was too disappointing.

Anyway, to pass the time, just take a look.

At the beginning of the film, the mother took her son to the house of the deceased husband's former lover in a fierce manner, asking for insurance compensation from the deceased husband's lover, accusing the other party of being a "little three".Who knows the insider retorted, saying that he is not a "little three", he has one more hair than a woman, so he is a "little king".

The bubbling sound of the beer in Qi Nuliang's hand gradually disappeared, and after a brief shock passed, he took a shallow sip.It suddenly dawned on me that the female third party is called "Xiao San", and the male third party is called "Xiao Wang".

The third man, not his wife's lover... Qi Nuliang was shocked again, and turned to look at the person on the other side of the sofa.

Jiang Yu opened a box of potato chips, sat cross-legged, stuffed snacks into his mouth rhythmically, and stared at the screen seriously.

"Jiang Yu..."

Jiang Yu handed over the potato chips in his hand, and Qi Nuliang took two chips.After chewing, he was still puzzled: "...What kind of tablet is this?"

"Hush, look carefully." Jiang Yu took another box of unopened potato chips and threw it to Qi Nuliang.

But Qi Nuliang put the snacks and the beer in his hand on the coffee table, staring at the screen, a little bit on pins and needles.

He didn't know what Jiang Yu meant and why he showed him this.

As the plot gradually unfolded, he was gradually attracted by the relationship and fate of the characters in the play.

When seeing the sweet scene of the deceased husband and "Xiao Wang" before his death, Qi Nuliang still felt a little uncomfortable, and frequently looked at Jiang Yu out of the corner of his eye.When "like" and "love" came out of Jiang Yu's mouth, did he expect those in the movie?

This sudden idea, like ants crawling across Qi Nuliang's body, gave him goosebumps.He quickly stopped this thought, as if braking suddenly. Although he didn't know what was in front of him, his intuition told him that there was a cliff ahead.

But when the camera turns to the betrayed woman in reality, Qi Nuliang has a more real feeling for her pain.When she faced the psychiatrist and asked, "Is there no love?", Qi Nuliang clenched her fists.

He thought that if he knew that husband in reality, he would definitely beat him up.She obviously has such a good wife and children, but she doesn't know how to cherish them, and in the end she disappoints everyone.

But the story ends happily, with the woman reconciling with her dead gay husband and her conflict with her son.And "Xiao Wang" also reconciled with the past relationship full of pain and sadness.

When the movie's ending song sounded, Qi Nuliang was still in a mess of thoughts and didn't move for a while.

Jiang Yu got up and opened the curtains. At this time, the sky was full of sunlight, and the orange-red sunset glow came in from the balcony in the evening.He stood against the light, his shadow stretched very long by the setting sun.

As he walked, the shadow landed on Qi Nuliang's toes, or climbed onto his legs.Qi Nuliang stared at the shadow overlapping with himself, the shadow crawled over him like an ant as if it had substance, making him unable to move, and his skin was covered with goosebumps.

"Brother, what do you want to eat tonight?"

"... Cough... I can do whatever I want, anything."

"How about the steak? The Dragon Boat Festival gift box sent by the company two days ago, it happened to be two steaks. I'll fry them."

After a while, the smell of steak came from the kitchen, Qi Nuliang still maintained the posture just now, sitting on the sofa.He picked up the beer just now, the fine foam had disappeared, and he drank it all in one go.

He understands movies a little bit, but not very well.

He got up and went to the kitchen, but didn't go in, just stood at the kitchen door.With his back turned to him, Jiang Yu bent over to fry the steak.

The height of the cooking table may have been designed according to the height of the hostess of the previous house owner. Qi Nuliang was already short when cooking, and when it was Jiang Yu's turn to cook, he wished he could hook his entire waist.

Such a tall figure made Qi Nuliang very strange.

He wanted to ask Jiang Yu why he showed him such a movie, but he couldn't ask any questions when he stood outside the door.On the contrary, Jiang Yu seemed to have a feeling, and asked without looking back: "Brother, how cooked do you want the steak to be?"

"I'm just...just like you."

"Then you go out and wait. I'll be in charge of cooking and washing dishes tonight. You just eat."

Just when Qi Nuliang was hesitant to go out, Jiang Yu suddenly said: "You like the actress in the movie just now, right? She won the Golden Horse Award for Best Actress for this movie."

"...Oh. It's a pretty good performance."

Jiang Yu turned off the overhead light in the living room, leaving only a small light on the bar next to the dining table.

He took two table mats and put them on the place where they usually ate, arranged the dinner plate, knife and fork, shoveled the freshly fried steak into the dinner plate, cut it and poured it with black pepper sauce.I went to get fried tomatoes, cauliflower and mashed potatoes as side dishes, and bread as the main course.The last thing brought over was a bottle of red wine.

"What are you doing with these flashy things, eat quickly."

Jiang Yu poured wine into his glass: "You can eat it." After speaking, he explained with a guilty conscience, "The steak and red wine given by the company are good things, and they deserve a sense of ceremony."

"In the end, it's not all in the belly, what's the point?"

Jiang Yu didn't argue with him, but clinked glasses with him.Perhaps it is Qi Nuliang's slowness that allows him to secretly mix a little real love in the process of perfectly performing brotherhood.

"Drink less, don't get drunk." Qi Nuliang only took a sip.

I can't say what I want to say, and there is some silence at the dinner table.

At the end of the meal, before Qi Nuliang opened his mouth, he sighed softly: "Jiang Yu, you really don't have a girl you like, and I won't force you to marry and have children. You can figure out your own life." , as long as you feel happy."

Jiang Yu didn't speak, just nodded, got up and took the bowl back to the kitchen to wash.

After washing the dishes, Qi Nuliang smoked on the balcony.

Jiang Yu also went to the balcony, took the cigarette from Qi Nuliang's fingers, and put it between his lips.

"...You boy, can you order yourself if you want to smoke?"

"Tired. Brother, order another one yourself."

Qi Nuliang had no choice but to light another one for himself.

Looking at the cigarette holder that was biting between Qi Nuliang's teeth, and sometimes pressed his lips together, Jiang Yu hated that he was not a cigarette.

At this moment, he really wanted to kiss those two thin, light-colored lips, but he couldn't. Snatching the cigarette from the other's mouth was already the limit of what he could do, and it would be over if he went any further.At this time, the only thing he can do is to repeatedly bite the cigarette holder that Qi Nuliang has sucked, to relieve his addiction, and other things.

Qi Nuliang gently blew out a puff of smoke: "Xiao Yu, you have really grown up."

Jiang Yu lay on the balcony and smiled: "No, I will be 27 in the second half of the year."

"I'm going to move out after a while."

Jiang Yu shook the finger holding the cigarette, and a piece of cigarette ash fell on the balcony.He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled quickly: "Okay, do as you feel comfortable."

"Ah."

Jiang Yu took out two bank cards from his pocket and gave them to Qi Nuliang: "You want to earn rent to move people?"

"What are you doing?" Qi Nuliang withdrew his hand and didn't pick up the card, "I'm moving because I want to find some work to do, it doesn't matter whether I move out or not."

"Brother, both cards belong to you. This is the one you gave Zhao Lan. You said it contained [-] yuan, but I didn't move it. This is the one you gave me for living expenses. Every month after I pay the mortgage All the money is in there."

Qi Nuliang looked puzzled: "What are you doing for me?"

"Don't do anything, I will return your card to you."

"..." Qi Nuliang turned back to the room, "I don't want it, you take it yourself."

Jiang Yu held two bank cards, looked up at the night sky of the city, and exhaled a deep puff of white smoke. He had never been so exhausted physically and mentally.In fact, he can be tougher and ask Qi Nuliang not to do that job anymore, ask him to stay at his home, and even ask him to be his lover.As long as he asked, Qi Nuliang would eventually give in and agree.

But he couldn't do it.He wanted Qi Nuliang to be happy.

But a person who has worked hard for half his life has long forgotten how to live a more relaxed and happy life.

Jiang Yu pressed the cigarette butt into the dead potted plant, then turned and entered the room.
