Peach and Plum Do Not Speak

"Director Liao?" Yan Xi answered the phone at the corner of the stairs, a little surprised.

"Yanxi, happy birthday." The man's voice over the phone was low and gentle.

"thanks…"

"I guess you must have some doubts. Your phone number was given to me by Sister Zhou. I am angry. I asked for it."

Sister Zhou... Sure enough.

Yan Xi knew in his heart that since Sister Zhou would tell her about Liao Chengyu's personal situation, she would naturally tell him about her situation.

Liao Chengyu said this in a hurry over there. They met occasionally in the unit, sometimes in the cafeteria, and once or twice got together for a short meal.

Yan Xi had a good impression of him, he was not very talkative, and his personality was not impetuous. He likes to read books, and I saw him holding a copy of Yu Hua's life in the rest area and he was fascinated by it. Attentively, his mouth will be sipped, and the dimples are a bit childish. He looks like a big boy still on campus, but he doesn't look like a social person.

"That's it..." Yan Xi nodded.

"If it's not convenient, can I invite you to dinner?"

If it wasn't for Sister Zhou's remarks, Yan Xi would certainly have agreed generously. After all, the Chinese people's human relationship cannot be separated from the dinner party where you come and go. But now... she doesn't think too much, she is afraid that people will think too much.

She was hesitating, feeling that Liao Chengyu was a good person, maybe a friend who could talk to each other. But one level closer, she didn't have this idea for the time being, and she wasn't sure if she could eat this meal.

Liao Chengyu seemed to know her dilemma, he smiled and said, "That's right, my mother is coming to see me recently, and I also want to take her to eat authentic Beicheng cuisine, but I really don't have any experience with what to eat. Can't I ask you a favor?"

Although these words are a bit watery, at least Yan Xi is relieved. She smiled and said, "No problem."

"Okay, I'll set a time and show you if it's suitable?"

Yan Xi had no opinion: "Okay."

After hanging up the phone, she paused, and finally saved his number in the phone book.

Back on the second floor, she found that Liu Yiyi was teasing her with An Zhi's arms around her. When she got closer, she realized that An Zhi's state was a bit wrong, her cheeks were flushed, and her eyes were staring.

"Did you give her a drink???" Yan Xi said in surprise.

"Oh, just a small cup." Liu Yiyi poked An Zhi's face.

Yan Yinan bit the chicken skewer: "Pour a cup."

"Come on! How old is she..." Yan Xi touched An Zhi's forehead and asked her carefully, "Are you dizzy?"

"Hahaha, come and come, auntie, it's so cute..." Liu Yiyi pinched her face and pulled her into her arms. An Zhi was obviously unhappy, "uuu" wrinkled her face in protest, pushed her with her hands and struggled.

"The strange aunt who bullied Loli!" Yan Yinan continued to eat roasted eggplant and watched leisurely.

Yan Xi couldn't stand it anymore and said Liu Yiyi: "Enough is enough!" She reached out and rescued An Zhi: "Tao Tao, come here."

An Zhi leaned into her arms, Yan Xi stroked her head, and touched her face, "It doesn't look like you've had a drink. Third brother, don't persuade Tao Tao."

"Ah... Isn't it the second year of junior high school?" Yan Yinan didn't care, "You drank with us long ago when you were in junior high school."

"She's only 12 years old!" Yan Xi said angrily.

"Oh..." Yan Yinan shrugged, not feeling anything.

Yan Xi looked at these two irrelevant people, Yan Yinan only cared about eating, and most of his thoughts were still on the variety show of running. Liu Yiyi is even more outrageous.

Liu Yi leaned on her chin and sighed: "Sad... I didn't succeed in flirting with a man, and now I can't even flirt with a girl..."

Glancing at An Zhi obediently leaning on Yan Xi's arms, "You still recognize people, Xiao Anzhi..."

"Probably the fragrance on your body is too strong!" Yan Yinan threw out a sentence.

"I don't apply strong fragrance at all, what do you know!"

"This is Guerlain's limited edition lily-of-the-valley incense, one every year."

"uh-huh."

"Not for you!"

"…"

"You gay!"

"Huh? Who told you I'm gay! I'm a straight guy!"

"You're a bitch!"

An Zhi felt dizzy and felt that the whole world was spinning, her chest was stuffy, she wanted to vomit but couldn't spit it out. The people around couldn't hear what they said, and they felt that the buzzing continued.

She worked so hard, knowing that Yan Xi was holding her, she was very familiar with her taste.

They heard Yan Xi say to them, "Let's go, let's go home! Don't make noise at my house!"

Then there was a buzzing, the sound of people standing up next to them, the sound of collecting things.

Yan Xi let go of her and seemed to clean up together. An Zhi fell asleep on the carpet dizzy, Yan Xi's hand seemed to be touching her head.

Then there was the sound of going down the stairs, Liu Yiyi muttered, "You actually drank so much wine, Yan Yinan, you eat almost all the barbecue."

Yan Yinan snorted, "Come on, little sister-in-law, give me all the trash."

"...Ah! What did you call me!"

"Ahhhh!"

"anthomaniac!"

Yan Xi said, "Don't make noise, don't make noise." Make sure they all called a car, "Go back as soon as possible..."

"hahah, good good, happy birthday!"

"Happy birthday baby!" Liu Yiyi took advantage of the cup and bottle in Yanxi's hand, unable to resist, she hugged her and kissed her.

Yan Xi couldn't dodge in time to be kissed, and said helplessly: "You guys hurry up and wait for the car..." Then he went into the kitchen to wash things.

Yan Yinan and Liu Yiyi walked to the entrance, changed their shoes and went out. Liu Yiyi stared at the marker pen marks marking her height on the wall.

From bottom to top, it says 6 years old, 7 years old... all the way to 12 years old. At the beginning, the following few horizontal intervals were very short, and the 11-year-old pen was far away from the 10-year-old. The top row, Liu Yiyi compared, should be Yan Xi's height.

Pretty cozy.

There are traces of their lives everywhere.

Yan Xi finished washing things, watched the two of them get into the car and left, and closed the door. Going upstairs again, An Zhi was still lying on the carpet and fell asleep. When Yan Xi walked to her side, she just felt uncomfortable and rolled over.

Yan Xi went to the bathroom, twisted the towel, and wiped her face.

"Does it hurt?"

"Well..." An Zhi blinked, her cheeks flushing red.

"Then what are you drinking..." Yan Xilue scolded, but bent down, intending to pull her up, "Come on, go to bed."

An Zhi was confused and wanted to hold her hand, but the pictures in front of her were blurred and overlapped, and she grabbed the empty space. She was confused trying to focus. Yan Xi chuckled, squatted down, and took her into his arms.

Since her height has grown rapidly, Yan Xi hasn't hugged her anymore, and she doesn't know if she can hold her.

An Zhi obediently rested her head on her shoulder, making a comparison, feeling that it was no longer enough to hold her up straight.

"Come on, this way..."

Yan Xilue put his hand on her shoulders stiffly, and the other hand crossed the bend of her knee, trying to hug her sideways.

With this posture, An Zhi should...

"Hold my neck..."

An Zhi listened to the words and did as he was told, hooked his hand to her, Yan Xi exerted a little force, and suddenly picked her up.

Yan Xi smiled and said to himself: "Hey! My sword is not old. The strength is still there..."

An Zhi fell asleep, feeling like he was floating in the air, and in a familiar and safe embrace.

Fragrant and warm.

Unconsciously, she hugged Yanxi's neck tightly.

Very reassuring.

The girl's body was as soft as the buds on the head of a spring willow dipped in rain and dew.

Yan Xi was a little dazed for some reason.

An Zhi's hand hooked her neck. The position of her armpit was exposed, and Yan Xi's hand naturally slid there to adjust her posture. As a result, she inadvertently pressed it on... An Zhi's soft spot...

…

Yan Xi's heart skipped a beat.

"Auntie... dizzy..." An Zhi murmured.

Yan Xi returned to his senses, carried her to the room, and put her on the bed. When An Zhi touched the bed, she turned over to grab the doll and hugged her, and a small box fell out.

Yan Xi picked it up, rubbed the small box under her fingertips, and opened it.

It is a thin golden bracelet, half of which is attached to a bracelet as thin as silk. Slender, generous and elegant.

Astrid & Miyu brand.

This should be the gift that An Zhi bought her?

Yan Xi tried to wear it, her wrists were slender and white, it was very suitable and beautiful to wear, and it matched her temperament very well.

Yan Xi involuntarily raised the corners of his lips.

Gifts are hearts, and no one can resist surprises. Surprise, if it comes from someone you didn't expect, you will be surprised and delighted, and if it comes from someone you are familiar with but not familiar with, it will be even more warm.

There are a few voices from Liu Yiyi in WeChat: "Oh, this is Xiao Anzhi who spent all the prize money from elementary school to junior high school competition, 800 yuan, who knows how long this child has saved... I didn't want her at all. Money, she is so stubborn that nine horses can't pull it..."

"This child's taste is good, it must be influenced by me, I actually have a daughter who has grown up and is sensible, um, so sweet, a little padded jacket in winter, a little fan in summer, I will have a baby with Yan Yixi in the future. a daughter."

"I think it looks pretty too... You must look good wearing it... Oops, I'm so jealous... If only Yan Yixi could think of me on my birthday..."

Liu Yiyi's three major voices can still be related to Yan Yixi on any topic.

Yan Xi didn't reply to her, the smile on her lips rippled, and she couldn't remember how long she hadn't been so happy.

She stared at An Zhi who was sleeping sweetly for a while, helped her keep the wall lamp, and gently closed the door and came out.

At this time, Yan Xi didn't know how much An Zhi wished to see her happy when she received the gift when she was awake.

In the past few years that she picked An Zhi back, she kept her by her side, just hoped that she would grow up healthily and happily, but she never expected to receive unexpected warm surprises.

At this time, Yan Xi, she didn't know, what An Zhi gave her was always beyond her imagination.
