you restrain yourself

Chapter 51 Are You Willing To Control Me?

Although Duan Zhi said he moved into Ji Shuyan's house, he was not idle.

His school is on winter vacation, but the studio is not closed, and he has to continue working on projects with other people.

Ji Shuyan doesn't know much about this, but seeing him sometimes come back exhausted, he feels a little distressed. Instead of saying anything, he turns his back and asks his aunt to make more asparagus wontons and beef pot stickers that Duan Zhi likes, so that he can serve Duan Zhi as a substitute. supper.

Ji Yuan also saw that Duan Zhi was busy.

He was sitting on the sofa peeling pistachios, and seeing Duan Zhi go to work on time despite his casual clothes, he seemed to be comparing himself.

His long-dead heart to be a master of learning was rarely revived, and he asked his uncle ponderingly, "Should I also find an internship?"

When he thought about it, he was also 20 years old, Duan Zhi no longer took living expenses from his family, but he was still fully supported by his uncle, his face became hot, and he was somewhat embarrassed.

Ji Shuyan didn't care much, and turned a page in the book in his hand, "You don't have to do it just because you think everyone else is doing it. I hope you are doing what you like. If you have a goal, which one do you want to go to?" You can go for an internship in the company. But if you don’t think about it for a while, it’s okay for you to play at home. After working for decades, there will be times when you struggle.”

He really thought so.

As an elder, he has worked hard until now, so that Ji Yuan can walk the path he likes without any restraint.

If Ji Yuan doesn't make progress and wants to be a happy salted fish, he won't feel anything.

Because people's life is actually the rarest happiness.

Ji Yuan chuckled, but then he walked next to his uncle, pretending to be a good boy, "Then why don't you persuade Duan Zhi? He's killing me."

Ji Shuyan froze slightly with his hand on the book.

He didn't want to persuade him, he couldn't persuade him.

"Duan Zhi is much more thoughtful than you." He said softly, "He grew up in a different family from you, has a different personality, and his happiness and satisfaction are also different from yours."

Ji Yuan didn't understand, and asked anxiously, "What do you mean?"

Ji Shuyan didn't say any more, just patted his head and let him play.

Time flies, and half of the winter vacation has passed.

The project at Duan Zhi's studio was finally completed, and Ji Yuan also found a painting class. Recently, he was creating at home every day, and even hung his masterpieces all over the wall.

Seeing that there was only one week left before New Year's Eve, Ji Shuyan took some time to take Ji Yuan and Duan Zhi out to buy new year's goods.

Although the taste of the new year is not as strong as before, traces of celebrating the new year can still be seen everywhere on the street. There are also couplets selling Spring Festival couplets everywhere in the supermarket, and there are small lanterns, round and red, hanging on the shelves. for cuteness.

Duan Zhi had never bought New Year's goods before, and he had nowhere to start in the supermarket.

Ji Shuyan put a few gift bags in the shopping cart, ready to distribute them to his colleagues' children. He asked Duan Zhi, "Then how did you spend the Spring Festival before?"

Duan Zhi recalled, "These families are prepared by someone, and the chef is in charge of the back kitchen. Close relatives will come to our house on New Year's Eve. The whole family will have a meal together, and the rest is fine."

Ji Yuan said, "That sounds quite lively."

Duan Zhi twitched the corner of his mouth, but didn't answer.

To say it was lively, it was quite lively, the room was full of people, and only three tables of banquets could be accommodated.

But if you want to say it's boring, it's boring. Except for his grandfather and aunt who are kind, everyone else is polite, saying some polite words in a hypocritical manner, and fighting openly and secretly.

He was most impatient with such occasions, but as his grandfather's favorite grandson, he could only be pinned there as a mascot.

But this year is good, and it is not his turn to be the mascot.

Duan Zhi twirled a small lantern in his hand, his eyelashes drooped, and his side face was a bit lonely, but when he raised his eyes again, he returned to his usual look, smiling and putting a box of fudge balls into the shopping cart put.

But Ji Shuyan noticed his abnormality just now, but he didn't point it out.

He took a few more bags of Duan Zhi's favorite snacks, and asked Duan Zhi, "Choose a window grille, and put it on the wall when you get home."

Duan Zhi followed Ji Shuyan's line of sight.

He really hasn't made a choice, and it's never his turn to worry about such trivial matters.

"Take this, magpies are troublesome," he picked a few, "and this, there are fish every year."

Ji Shuyan signaled him to put it in the shopping cart.

After that, Ji Shuyan instructed Duan Zhi to buy hot pot seasoning for a while, and went to find the kind of sausage he wanted, and made Duan Zhi go around.

Even Ji Yuan could tell, "Uncle, why did you ask Brother Duan to run errands?"

Is this some special interest?

Ji Shuyan looked down at the chocolate, "Find him something to do, so he won't have to think about things."

Fortunately, Duan Zhi himself is also happy.

He was quite happy to be sent around, and when he finally paid the bill, he took all the things in Ji Shuyan's hand, and only left Ji Shuyan a box of cakes for him to eat.

Ji Yuan struggled to carry a large bag of heavy frozen food behind him, and watched his uncle feed Duan Zhi a mouthful of cake as well.

Only him, no one cares.

Like a porter following behind.

Is this the benefit of being in love?

With a dazed face, he looked at the things in his hands, and for the first time felt the benefits of finding a boyfriend.

After purchasing, the three of them went home directly.

Originally they wanted to eat outside, but as the Chinese New Year was approaching, the houses were full and noisy, and after driving around, they went back home, preferring to go back and eat the asparagus wontons made by the housekeeper.

Auntie only adjusted the stuffing and left a stack of wonton wrappers for them to wrap themselves.

The three of them gathered together in the kitchen to make wontons.

Ji Shuyan's bag is the most delicate, the person with the scalpel, the wontons look like they were copied and pasted neatly, almost all of them look the same.

Duan Zhi and Ji Yuan's are much careless, as long as they can eat.

After dinner, they sorted the new year's goods they bought just now, and also hung lanterns and window grilles in the yard.

At this time in previous years, Ji Shuyan was the main force, but this year it was Duan Zhi's turn.

The uncle and nephew stood in the yard directing.

"Go a little to the left," Ji Shuyan said, "Don't go up, just stop there."

After Duan Zhi posted it, he took a few steps back, admiring the fruits of his labor, quite proud, "I think I posted it very well."

It sounds like he cut the window grilles.

Ji Shuyan gave him a funny look, and threw another bag of small lanterns to him, "Hang up the lanterns, Ji Yuan and I will be in charge of the left side, and you will be in charge of the right side, until the hanging is finished."

Ji Yuan used to like hanging small lanterns the most.

The whole yard became bright red, less elegant, but more festive, always making people feel that the days are booming.

But while he was hanging the lantern, he secretly asked his uncle, "Uncle, is Brother Duan celebrating Chinese New Year at our house this year?"

After he finished speaking, he was afraid that he could not express clearly, so he quickly explained, "It's not that I'm unhappy, I'm very happy. I mean, he won't go back? Then we'll go to grandpa and grandma's house later, what should he do?"

Every New Year's Eve, Ji Shuyan would take him to his hometown in the countryside, where his grandparents live now and would not come back until the fifth day of the new year.

He was also very happy to spend the winter vacation with Duan Zhi this year.

But grandparents have to go there.

Ji Shuyan was actually thinking about this question too.

Duan Zhi lived with him every day, and he actually paid attention to it. Seeing that the end of the year was approaching, he didn't hear a call from Duan Zhi's house.

And Duan Zhi didn't say whether he should go home on New Year's Eve.

He hung a small lantern on the pine tree, "I'll ask him later, it doesn't matter if he wants to go back or not. I'll handle it with your grandparents."

Ji Yuan's face was a little twisted when he heard that.

He has also experienced his uncle's strength.

Think of his little heart beating for days.

He could only remind implicitly, "Grandpa and grandma, they are getting old."

Ji Shuyan laughed lightly.

He thought, Ji Yuan also underestimated his parents, even when he was only in his twenties when he asked for Dink, his parents just sighed for a few days, but they were much more receptive than Ji Yuan.

He hung up the last small lantern.

When he came out from behind the plum blossom tree, Duan Zhi had just finished hanging the one on the right.

The two stood side by side in the yard.

The night is as dark as ink, and there is only a faint lamp in the courtyard. The courtyard in winter is desolate and cold, but now the courtyard is full of red, one after another, as if it is full of beautiful fruits. Looking at it, there is a kind of secular stable.

Ji Shuyan held Duan Zhi's hand.

Fingers crossed, fingers interlocked.

"It's a new year soon," he said.

Duan Zhi looked down at him, "Yes."

The breeze blew, and the small lanterns on the branches shook.

"Uncle Ji," Duan Zhi reached out and brushed Ji Shuyan's hair, "I have something for you later. Promise me to accept it?"

Ji Shuyan looked at him suspiciously.

He thought it was another New Year's gift.

Today's young people have a strange sense of ceremony, thinking about giving something on any festival.

He didn't take it seriously either, "Okay."

Ji Shuyan didn't know what Duan Zhi's gift was until he was about to go to bed.

He had just finished taking a shower when he heard the phone beep.

He picked it up and saw that it was a text message from the bank, informing him that his bank card received 1xxxxx yuan.

Ji Shuyan: "..."

He quickly opened the mobile banking, and sure enough, the transfer party was Duan Zhi.

Ji Shuyan frowned.

Good guy, Duan Zhi must have given him all his wealth.

He came out of the bathroom, sat on the edge of the bed, held up his mobile phone and asked, "What do you mean?"

Duan Zhi propped up the book and stood there, covering his face.

Apparently posturing.

Because the name of the book is "800 Family Recipes".

Ji Shuyan tore off the book with a palm, revealing Duan Zhi's face, under the bright light, in the lazy woody fragrance of the room, Duan Zhi's sharp and bright face was rarely unnaturally shy.

People who are used to being arrogant suddenly showed a little shyness, which was even more seductive.

Ji Shuyan's words that he was about to question got stuck in his throat.

He was silent for two seconds, then changed his posture, sitting closer to Duan Zhi.

The mobile phone is placed on the quilt.

The screen that lit up was still stuck on the text message.

Ji Shuyan looked down at the line of numbers, and said softly, "How can you be so silent about paying money, there must be a name."

Duan Zhi also knew that he acted recklessly.

He also lowered his head, and squeezed Ji Shuyan's hand into his palm, "This is the share of my previous projects, and the one I just finished is not so fast. The rest is some money I used to speculate in stock funds, all of which are mine. I earned it myself, and I have accumulated it since high school. I didn’t have a long-term plan before, and I burned a little money, and I won’t do it in the future.”

"I don't mean anything else to you." He made up his mind, but his heart was burning hot. "They all say to start a family and start a business. Maybe the two of us don't have a marriage certificate. I'm too young and unreliable for you, but I don't care. It will always be like this. One day, I will be able to stand by your side and take care of you. Whether it is before or after this, I think you can take care of me."

Probably because he still has some traditions in his bones.

His parents live a free and unrestrained life, and they are clear about each other. Having a child is also like a business cooperation, and finally the labor and the swallow are separated.

He is different, he has Ji Shuyan, and he wants to form a family with him, and he is willing to give himself to Ji Shuyan from beginning to end.

He is willing to pamper and spoil Ji Shuyan, and share everything about himself with him.

But he really doesn't have any achievements now, so he can let Ji Shuyan take care of the accounts.

So he looked up at Ji Shuyan with burning eyes, and asked in a low voice, "Are you willing to take care of me, Ji Shuyan?"

Ji Shuyan's hand was still held by Duan Zhi.

Duan Zhi's palm was very hot, even his palm became hot.

He looked at the intertwined fingers of the two people, and remembered the sentence he had been unmoved, holding his hand and growing old together.

It turned out to be the case.

He had just received the money transfer from Duan Zhi, and in fact he felt nothing but shock.

Because he didn't think so much.

When he fell in love with Duan Zhi, he fell in love.

He is willing to do his best to treat Duan Zhi well, but if Duan Zhi wants to fly away one day, he will not be a stumbling block. Life may not always come to the end, but it is decent to get together and get together well.

But Duan Zhi never seemed to think that way, he turned into a tree on his own, took root in his home, in his courtyard, grew towering branches and leaves, trying to include him in it.

It never occurred to him that this young man, 13 years his junior, would ask him, "Will you keep me in check?"

Duan Zhi was willing to entrust himself to him.

Far more pious than a red marriage certificate.

He raised his eyes and also looked at Duan Zhi.

The woody fragrance diffuses into the base notes and becomes the taste of sage and sandalwood.

Ji Shuyan's eyelashes trembled a few times, his face flushed slightly under the light.

He should have said no.

Such entanglement is unclear, Duan Zhi is only 20 years old, impulsive and straightforward, maybe he will regret it when he is 30 years old.

But he touched Duan Zhi's warm and sincere eyes, but he couldn't say anything.

Because this is a sincere heart, the sincerity of giving yourself to him and wanting to grow old with him forever.

The light on the phone screen went out.

Ji Shuyan sighed silently, but his heart was slightly sweet, like acacia flower honey, not greasy, just light and soft.

"Then, take care of it for you first." He whispered, "If you want to use it in the future, just tell me."

He didn't take his hand out of Duan Zhi's palm, but flicked Duan Zhi with his free other hand until his brain collapsed.

"But next time, can you not kill first and play later." Ji Shuyan was still in fear.

Duan Zhi laughed, pulled Ji Shuyan into his arms, bowed his head and kissed Ji Shuyan's temples.

"There will be no surprises after I say it," he said, "You will get used to it in the future, and our family will take care of the money."

Ji Shuyan snorted lightly, noncommittal, but the corners of his mouth kept rising.

after.Our family.

He never thought those words would sound so good.

He raised his head and kissed Duan Zhi.

The winter snow is cold outside the window, but the warm air inside the house is smoky. The fragrance of flowers and woods are mixed together, and crooning and unscrupulous dirty words are also intertwined. The acoustic guitar in the corner is next to the baseball bat. Suits and jackets are also posted in one place.

The two hands on the side of the bed were tightly clasped.

Ji Shuyan was drowsy, he felt as if he was heaving in the white waves, he didn't know whether it was tears or sweat in the corner of his eyes, he just stared at Duan Zhi's handsome face in a daze, circling a sentence back and forth in his mind.

Why does he like this person so much?

And how could this person love him so much.

The next day, Duan Zhi went out to buy Guangyunji snacks for Ji Shuyan.

Ji Shuyan sat on the sofa and watched the tablet.

Ji Yuan originally thought that his uncle was reading some journal articles, but when he turned his head, he found that there were all kinds of models on it, including motorcycles and cars.

He asked Ji Shuyan puzzled, "Uncle, do you want to buy a car again? Why look at motorcycles, can you ride them?"

Ji Shuyan was still looking at various car introductions, and replied casually, "I'll show it to Duan Zhi, he goes out a lot, and it's convenient to drive a car. But he also likes motorcycles, so I don't know which one to choose?"

He raised his head and asked Ji Yuan, "What do you think, does he want another motorcycle or a car?"

He asked seriously.

Ji Yuan was stunned.

But Ji Shuyan said again, "Forget it, it's useless to ask you," he pondered, "Why don't you buy both?"

Ji Yuan couldn't take it anymore, shook his head, and sat back on the sofa.

It's over, he thought sadly, there are only three people under this roof, now it's all right, two of them are love brains.

He is the only sober person in this family.

Gee.
