for Advance Chapter
I stood alone on the porch with drizzling rain, looking at the thick darkness outside the door light, recalling what had just happened in my room, my heart was surging and it was difficult to calm down.
Through the mottled leaves, I looked at a two-story building not far away. Looking at the pale yellow , I couldn't help but think of the couple inside, Brother Qin and Sister Yanran.
Although I have been studying in the United States for several years, I just came to the west coast and I am inevitably a little unfamiliar with the surrounding environment.
Brother Qin and Sister Yanran can be said to be the two people who care about me the most, giving me a faint feeling similar to that of a brother and sister.
They often invite me to share dinner or taste the chicken soup they carefully cook. They naturally know that I am pursuing Xiaoyun, and they often listen to my confession and occasionally give me advice.
Sister Yanran works in the central part of M country and stays in G city for a few days every month. But when we meet, she always generously and patiently tells me about her experience as a girl studying abroad and teaches me some tips on how to get along with girls.
Brother Qin just started working and is also enthusiastic and humorous. When Sister Yanran is not around, she often likes to go fishing.
After cooking the crabs, fish and shrimps, she invites me to have a drink together and tells me about the interesting things that happened in G University and gives me suggestions on how to pursue Xiaoyun.
Although it is already past one in the morning, I know that they are both used to sleeping late, and I am already quite familiar with them. I often visited them at midnight before. Today, I have too many things on my mind. If I don't find someone to confide in, I really feel at a loss.
I changed into simple clothes, walked straight across the lawn, climbed over the wooden fence, and rang the doorbell . After a while, the smiling faces of Brother Qin and Sister Yanran appeared at the door.
Brother Qin's name is Qin Shou. He is not tall, about 1.7 meters, four or five years older than me. He has small eyes, a square face, a straight nose and a wide mouth. He looks quite resolute, but with glasses, he has a touch of literary air. He smiled andsaid ,
"Ha, we guessed it was you! What's up, Xiao Zhou, you come to chat with us again?"
Sister Yanran's surname is Li. In fact, she is only one or two years older than me. She has a medium build and is shorter than her husband.
She is quite tall among women. Although her bony and well-defined cheeks are more heroic and less charming, her appearance is not outstanding. She is only slightly pretty. However, her skin is white. Xi, with her eyes slightly curved when she smiled, looked gentle and virtuous. She was looking at me with a smile, teasing:
"Hee, why haven't I seen you recently? Yuze, have you been sticking to Xiaoyun all day and forgotten about us?"
This period after midnight is when couples usually sleep in each other's arms, or indulge in lovemaking, but Brother Qin and Sister Yanran are a little different. They always like to make soup and side dishes at this time and share a midnight snack together. However, no matter what , I was still polite:
"Brother Qin, sister-in-law, hey, it's so late, did I disturb you? I couldn't sleep, so I came to talk to you."
"No, no, we are packing up, come in." Brother Qin patted my shoulder and invited me into the living room.
I walked into the house and saw that they were both wearing T-shirts and jeans. They didn't look like the kind of clothes that people would wear at home late at night. I couldn't help but feel curious. But before I could ask, Sister Yanran said casually,
"Yuze, what a pity. We don't have any chicken soup to treat you tonight. We were just busy packing up. Qin Shou will take me to the airport to return to M City in a while."
"Oh, I'm so sorry. I guess you guys are busy. I'll bother you another day."
I said apologetically.
"Hey, it's okay, Xiao Zhou. We've packed everything. We'll be leaving in about half an hour. If you have anything to say, just talk to us." Qin poured me a cup of tea and sat aside.
"Well, okay." I took the tea, took a sip, and then said,
"Actually...actually it's still about Xiaoyun . You know, there are a few boys who have been pursuing her. I always...always worry..."
"Alas, you can't be impatient about this kind of thing. Worrying is useless. Women are always picky ." Qin said carelessly.
"Go, stop talking nonsense. What do you mean by women being picky? It's obviously you men who like to pester and pester, making a soft-hearted girl like Xiaoyun at a loss. You still put the blame on women."
Sister Yanran said retortively, then turned her head and said to me gently,
"Yuze, don't listen to your brother Qin's nonsense. Girls are soft-hearted. If other men pester her, she will be at a loss. You should be tougher and tell Xiaoyun that you will never waver. Then warn other men and tell them not to harass Xiaoyun again."
"Hey, no matter what, just don't give up. Anyway, I'm optimistic about you." Brother Qin drank tea and seemed know the reason not to argue with women. He said casually.
"Hehe." I laughed dryly twice, still a little sadly,
"I know these principles, but can't let them go in my heart."
"Don't be so sad. Come on, talk about those competitors. I'll give you some advice."
Sister Yanran said with a smile and comforting, holding hot tea.
"How should I describe them? I've mentioned Huang Chengming and Zhai Haobo to you before. You probably aren't
familiar with . They're already working and have some connections with G University." I said lightly.
"Oh, it's them again. Don't worry, they can't compare to your Yuze," Qin said encouragingly.
"Girls are sometimes attracted to mature men, but you still have to be confident. Xiaoyun is a good match for you, and what really attracts girls is confidence and reliability."
Sister Yanran stroked her long hair and said gently.
In this way, the three of us drank tea and chatted in a few words, and soon it was two o'clock in the morning.
They were ready to leave for the airport. I exchanged a few simple words with them, said goodbye, and returned home.
Xiaoyun never called me again, and when I called, no one answered, which made me even more upset, but my body was also a little tired. I didn't bother to take off my clothes, and I lay down on the bed half asleep and half awake.
I don't know how long it took, but I woke up slowly. The darkness of the night sky outside the window seemed to have become thicker. I looked at the phone in my hand. It was already around 3:30 in the morning, but there was no message . I knew helplessly that I would not receive her call tonight.
Was Xiaoyun too tired to call me after returning home? Or did something really happen to her roommate Li Jiao , and she had no time to reply me? Or was she secretly angry with me because I bullied Xiaoyun tonight ? In addition, a corner of my heart couldn't bear to worry. Could it be that Xiaoyun was talking to another man? Even with Huang Chengming, or Zhai Haobo? Could it be that Xiaoyun suddenly rejected their invitation, so they drove directly to Xiaoyun's house and started to talk softly and hard? Should I also go to Xiaoyun to find out? No! Since I love Xiaoyun, I should trust her. How can I always be so worried and crazy ?
However, I tossed and turned in bed, but I couldn't fall asleep. I looked out the window, and the lights in Brother Qin's small building were on again. Has he returned from the airport?
