Extra: Yao Xiuyuan x Yingnian (Eleventh)

Yao Xiuyuan started the wine and poured a glass for each of them. Yingnian tasted it. It was indeed very low in alcohol, and it was more of the sweet and sour fruit wine.

“It’s quite delicious.”

Yao Xiuyuan doesn't like drinking fruit wine very much. This kind of wine looks a bit like a drink to him, so he has never drunk it after someone else's gift. If he hadn't seen Ying Nian drink today, he would have forgotten that there was such a bottle of wine.

He added some more to Yingnian, "Just like it."

Yingnian glanced at him and asked him, "Don't you sleep?"

"I'll go to bed later. I'm not busy these two days. I can go there later in the morning."

Yingnian sighed, "I feel like I've been troubled by you these two days."

"Why are you starting to be polite again?" Yao Xiuyuan looked at him, "You will never change after repeated instruction?"

Ying Nian smiled and shook her head, "No, that's it. Have you ever told you that you are quite gentle?"

"That must be there." Yao Xiuyuan took a sip of wine, "How could no one say that if I am such a good person?"

"It's quite narcissistic, too."

"This is confidence." Yao Xiuyuan retorted.

"You have not had a girlfriend?" Yingnian said curiously.

"I talked about it when I was in college, but later I got a breakup. Later I was busy with work and didn't meet someone I liked very much, so I didn't talk about it."

Yingnian was a little surprised, "I had a girlfriend in college? I thought you should have a rich love history."

Yao Xiuyuan laughed when he heard this, his eyes raised slightly, and he was a little proud, "I should look very popular, right?"

“Isn’t it?”

"Yes, right? I'm not Shao Yong, just like a butterfly."

"Does Shao Yong know that you say that to him behind his back?"

"I still need to say behind my back?" Yao Xiuyuan took the beer he had opened before Yingnian and gave himself a glass of it. "I have told him in front of him that he has not known how many times, but this kind of thing is that men and women love each other, and the two parties are in love and I can't control it."

Yao Xiuyuan said and took a sip of wine. Yingnian watched him drink and took a few sips himself. Perhaps because he had drunk a few glasses of beer before, plus the fruit wine in his hand, although Yingnian was not drunk, he was a little more relaxed than usual. He said with some emotion: "Yes, in the final analysis, it depends on himself."

He drank a sip of wine, and the sweet and sour taste made his taste buds relax, but his mood became heavy by this sentence, so that he unknowingly added wine to himself twice.

Yao Xiuyuan saw that he suddenly stopped talking and kept drinking. He reached out and held his hand and advised, "You are drinking too quickly, just slow down."

Yingnian looked up at him, and his eyes as clear as water were a little sad and confused under the light.

Yao Xiuyuan let go of his hand and asked him, "What's wrong with you?"

Yingnian didn't say anything, just looking at the wine in the cup. Yao Xiuyuan felt sensitively that he was in a bad mood and was not good at speaking anything. The two of them were a little silent for a moment.

After a long time, Yingnian sighed, shook his head, smiled at him, and said, "It's nothing, I just remember some past events."

Yao Xiuyuan guessed that the past in his mouth should be related to Tang Yu. He looked at Yingnian and asked tentatively, "Are you willing to talk to me?"

Yingnian seemed to have never expected him to say this, and was a little surprised for a moment.

Yao Xiuyuan smiled and said gently: "It will only accumulate more and more in my heart. Sometimes, it will feel better when I say it. It is like the tree hole post on the Internet. I promise, I will only treat it as a tree hole and will not tell you about it."

Yingnian listened and looked at him in a daze, but didn't know where to start or what to say. He has never been a person who likes to trouble others, and he doesn't like to tell others about his feelings. He can love Tang Yu without reservation, letting Tang Yu know that he loves him, but he cannot tell his feelings to others. He has become accustomed to loving alone, taking responsibility, and sharing his emotions with another person is not a simple and ordinary thing for him.

Yao Xiuyuan seemed to be unable to say anything, thinking he was unwilling to say anything. After all, emotional matters have always been relatively private, so he pretended to be cool, "I don't seem to look like a tree hole. In this way, wait for me to buy you a tree hole next time, and then you will quietly say to it."

Yingnian's face, which was a little at a loss, instantly got a smile under this sentence. He unconsciously lowered his eyes, but slowly looked up at Yao Xiuyuan. Yao Xiuyuan still looked gentle and gentle, as if he wouldn't mind whether Yingnian said or not.

But Yingnian discovered that in his subconscious, he seemed to want to say something. Those things had been accumulated in his heart for so long, settled and rotten. He carried these pasts alone. Occasionally, he looked down and pulled him down like a slumber, making him feel heavy and embarrassed.

If it could be said, maybe... would be better.

Yingnian drank a glass of wine, but Yao Xiuyuan did not stop him. He drank another glass. When Yao Xiuyuan was about to persuade him, he slowly spoke, "I actually..." He looked at the wine in the glass, blinked, and whispered, "Actually... I don't know what to say."

Yao Xiuyuan thought he was not going to tell him, but he didn't expect that he just didn't know how to say, "It's okay, you can say whatever you want, you can say anything, you can say wherever you want."

Is this true? Yingnian thought, he was silent for a while and slowly began to say, "I am not from here. My hometown is in a village in the county in the next city. It is very small. It takes less than two hours to walk from the entrance of the village to the end of the village. It is also very poor. When I was young, I didn't even have tap water. It would be great to be able to dig a well in the yard of my home."

Yao Xiuyuan knew that he was not a local, but he didn't know that his hometown was so poor. "Then it's not easy for you." He sighed a little. When he was a child, he took a plane abroad to see the sea. It would be great if Yingnian actually dug a well in the yard.

Yingnian felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this. It was not that Yao Xiuyuan's words made him feel uncomfortable, but when she recalled her childhood, those days seemed to have appeared in front of her again.

"When I first entered junior high school, my parents were gone. I was not yet aged, and my aunt didn't want me, so my uncle brought him to his house and became my guardian. My uncle was actually okay to me, and I asked me to continue to go to school. The family also cared for me. His children got along well with me. Although my aunt didn't kiss me, she didn't beat me or scold me. So, in general, their family was pretty good to me."

Yao Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Yingnian to throw such a bombshell as soon as he came up. He knew that Yingnian was not a local, so he thought Yingnian's parents were in his hometown. Unexpectedly, they disappeared early.

He was shocked, but quickly concealed his surprise and nodded in response.

"When I was a child, my parents taught me to study hard. In places like ours, studying is the only way out. I have been working very hard, and I am in the top three in the three years of junior high school. Our junior high school is the best junior high school in the county. The six middle school here will go there before the high school entrance examination to conduct independent enrollment, only pick the top three, and if you meet the standards, you will be lucky, and there will be a sponsor to help you pay for the three-year tuition for high school. In our class, I was the only one who met the standards, and I am very lucky. The teacher told me that someone is willing to sponsor me to go to high school. That person is Tang Yu's father."

"No wonder you said yesterday in the ward that if you do it again, you would rather not have his father's support than know him."

Yingnian thought of the scene in the ward yesterday, what happened yesterday, and when they first met and fell in love, she felt her chest swelling, and it seemed that someone was twisting his hands, and it was unbearable to feel colic.

"I was very happy at that time, really happy. I think that although I was not doing well before and my parents were no longer around, I could still live a good life in the future. I think my parents are right. People really have to study. Look, aren't I going to the city by studying?"

"I happily returned to my uncle's house and told me about this. I packed my luggage, my aunt helped me clean up, and then she sent me out. When I was about to walk to Tang Yu's father's car, my aunt said to me, 'Little New Year, since you are going to study in the city, don't come back. You have also seen that the situation at home is like this. It's hard to raise two children, and you have to raise one. Your parents suddenly went there and didn't leave much money for us. In the past three years, my aunt has been so kind. If you leave, don't come back'."

Yao Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment. This was a follow-up that he had not expected. He looked at Yingnian quietly. Yingnian looked at the wall in front, but seemed to look at nothing. His eyes were waving under the light. Yao Xiuyuan felt that he seemed to be crying.

But he didn't cry after all.

Even after so many years, Yingnian still remembers this passage clearly. He also remembers the confusion and panic when he heard this sentence. His aunt looked at him calmly and peacefully, without any feeling of separation in her eyes, as if what she said was not "Don't come back" but "The weather is good today."

Yingnian tried hard to express his emotions, saying that he wanted to come back, and he had no home now, and this was his home. But his aunt refused, and she said, "You are not our child, you will always leave."

Yingnian left his uncle's house that day and left the hometown where he grew up. His uncle called him twice after he arrived in the city, but never mentioned asking him to go home. Yingnian knew that he was abandoned, not because his aunt didn't want him to go back, but so was his uncle.

He hid in the quilt and cried all night, silently, and sobbing silently that he didn't dare to know. Then he got out of bed and washed his face when the alarm clock rang the next day, Yingnian comforted himself, it didn't matter, as long as he studied hard, he would have a good future. He had no parents before, and now he can do it well.

He carried his schoolbag to school, but one day after school, he was taken back to the Tang family by Tang Yu's father.
