Nanke Yifu Chapter 43

Living in the Wind and Staying in the Rain (15)

The weather outside is nice, the sky is clear, and the sunshine in winter is different from that in midsummer. It brings warmth to relieve the cold, rather than a burning sensation. Therefore, on such a not-so-cold, sunny winter day, it is a bit awkward for people to wrap themselves up tightly and use a shade.

A person holding an umbrella – wrapped so tightly that Feng Su couldn’t even tell whether the person was a man or a woman – was sitting in front of his shop. He didn’t know what the situation was. He stopped a little distance away, but saw the people around him suddenly walking towards him, and he didn’t even try to stop him.

Feng Su didn’t know who the person curled up into a ball at the door was, but Yan Laixi knew that he didn’t need to see his face.

“Akiba?”

The umbrella pole was placed on the shoulder. As he raised his head, the umbrella fell backwards. A pair of silver-gray eyes looked over. “Click”, the umbrella fell to the ground, and the hood was blown off by the wind when he stood up. He took off the mask, and the face that was too cute for his age was completely exposed to the sun. He raised his head slightly and asked, “Why don’t you reply to my message? I’m almost scared to death of you, you know!”

Faced with his friend’s questioning and the unclear current situation, Yan Laixi quickly took a half-step forward, pulled up the fallen hood, and covered Yin Yuqiu’s head again.

He remembered that the abnormality of autumn leaves was that they could not be exposed to sunlight for long periods of time.

“I’m fine, don’t worry.” Yan Laixi walked around Yin Yuqiu, picked up the parasol, stuffed it back into his hand, and said, “Go in first, don’t get exposed to the sun. I’ll explain to you later.”

He pulled Yin Yuqiu to move aside, waited for Feng Su to come over and opened the door, and explained briefly: “My friend.”

Feng Su glanced at Yin Yuqiu and nodded as a greeting. His face under the hood was unclear. He didn’t say anything or ask anything, but when he entered the door, he seemed to be inadvertently separated between Yan Laixi and Yin Yuqiu.

Just now, Yin Yu Qiuben was standing quite close to him. When Yan Laixi was helping him put on his hat, he even took a step forward. They both hugged him, okay?

Fei was jealous here, and Yan Laixi took the person directly into the lounge inside without even asking Feng Su.

Something was wrong, very wrong. It wasn’t the relationship between the two that was wrong, but something was wrong with Yan Laixi.Feng Su thought this, and ran inside again and again. When he finally knocked on the door for the third time and came in, Yan Laixi looked at Yin Yuqiu, smiled at Feng Su with some embarrassment, and said, “Can we two be alone for a while?”

Feng Su, who seemed to have been hit by a huge boulder, left a sentence: “I may have to go out for something later. I will come back in the afternoon. If anyone asks, please explain it to me.” He exited and dialed Lin Yuyou’s number.

Lin Yuyou, who thought something had happened to his brother after being hit hard, rushed over in a hurry, only to see an unhappy Feng Su, who was instantly relieved.

I’m unhappy, but I’m not next to Yan Laixi, which means that at least Yan Laixi himself is fine now.

She pushed her wheelchair over and said jokingly: “Why, do you feel threatened by your love rival?”

Feng Su glanced at her sideways, then looked away and sneered: “A person who has been abandoned is no threat.”

Lin Yuyou crossed his arms and shrank his neck, with a look of disgust on his face: “You must never say this to my brother.”

“I know.” Feng Su said, “I’m not stupid.”

“What’s going on?” Lin Yuyou asked, “A man was blowing the cold wind here, and he called me out.”

Feng Su: “I was kicked out by your brother.”

Lin Yuyou made a sign of surprise: “Are you so powerful?”

“Huh?”

“No matter what the reason is, it’s not easy to get my brother to kick someone out. When I was a kid, I was angry with Brother Xiaoxi and he didn’t kick me out when I was playing with sand on his bed. In the end, Sister Yue Heng took me down and gave me a lesson.” The atmosphere suddenly became stagnant, and Lin Yuyou said with a little uncovered nostalgia on his face, “That was the last time Sister Yue Heng hugged me.”

Feng Su doesn’t know how to comfort people, maybe he can, but it seems that he doesn’t bother to use this function for anyone except Yan Laixi. Besides, he knows that Lin Yuyou doesn’t need comfort either. Instead of making the atmosphere more sensational, it’s better to bring it back to the previous topic.

“His friend came to see him, and the two of them were whispering.” Feng Su said, “He just promised me before going out, but after walking around for a while, he forgot about his friend.”

Lin Yuyou didn’t quite understand why he classified himself into the category of “sex” and asked: “What did my brother promise you?”

Feng Su: “Confession.”

Lin Yuyou: “…”

“What?” Feng Su tilted his head and asked, “Don’t believe it?”

Lin Yuyou: “Is what I understand the same as what you said?”

“Probably so.” Feng Su said, “I asked your brother if he likes me, or if I can pursue him.”

“My brother nodded?”

“I didn’t nod.” Feng Su said, scratching his head, “But he didn’t push me when I kissed him.”

“Didn’t you tie him up?”

Feng Su: “Not tied up, awake, not threatened.”

Lin Yuyou was silent for a while and said, “I will continue to encourage my brother to kick you and find a new love.”

“Don’t you know your brother yet? Even if Chi Fu suddenly regains his memory, he will only hide in a dilemma and kick me after just a few words from you? Impossible.” Feng Su smiled so hard that he yawned and said, “I’m going to the hospital. If you have nothing to do, go to your brother and help me find out about the enemy. See if his friend is going to fight with you or with me, or if it’s a third-party force.”

“Okay, I will make him become our force.” Lin Yuyou said, and asked casually, “You want to go to the hospital? Is he finally being punished for doing nothing?”

“It’s a pity that not only did you not receive retribution, but you also found a treasure under the guidance of your son two days ago.” Feng Su said, “Isn’t your brother unwilling to go to the hospital? I’ll go and ask first.”

“What’s the use of going by yourself? It’s impossible for my brother to tell you what’s wrong with him.” Lin Yuyou sighed and said, “Just mention one or two that can’t be fooled. Others can bear it by themselves as long as they are not discovered and it hurts to death.”

“That’s for you. I asked him what was wrong with him this morning. I can’t guarantee whether he answered everything. Anyway, I didn’t notice half of it at all.” Feng Su said, feeling a little proud of being extra trusted after ignoring the premise, but he suppressed it again when he saw Lin Yuyou’s expression.

“My brother tells you what’s wrong with him? Is it serious?” Lin Yuyou asked.

Feng Su nodded, thinking that Lin Yuyou should have some knowledge of Yan Laixi’s physical condition, and it would not be against Yan Laixi’s wishes. He said, “It’s not good. If we don’t let him prepare mentally first, we are thinking about how to coax him to the hospital later.”

Now the smile turned to Lin Yuyou’s face. Her brother’s physical condition didn’t need to be worried about now, so she laughed out loud and said, “Take your time and work hard, my brother is not that easy to chase.”

Feng Su didn’t understand, but he knew that if Lin Yuyou smiled, it must be up to something bad.

“Brother Xiao Xi thinks he is dreaming. He often did it when he was a child. The dreams are so real that sometimes he can’t tell them apart. Every time he thinks he is in a dream, he will be a little more clingy than usual, like to act coquettishly, and will be more unscrupulous. But after all, he is brother Xiao Xi. Even if he is unscrupulous, it will not be too much and not too obvious.” Lin Yuyou imitated Feng Su’s show off just now and said, “You don’t know it’s normal.”

Feng Su frowned, not believing that Lin Yuyou could tell whether Yan Laixi thought he was dreaming without even seeing anyone, and asked, “Then why are you so sure now?”

“Because it’s very abnormal.” Lin Yuyou said, “Let me ask you, did you do something to my brother first, whether it was confession or kissing him, before he told you about his physical condition?”

Feng Su nodded reluctantly.Having said that, it seemed true… Not only that, after he kissed Yan Laixi, the other party even calmed down quickly.

“And you now.” Lin Yuyou raised his chin towards him, “My brother is still with you, right? Whether in the store or at home, he doesn’t take people out by himself, but lets you go out directly. Do you think Brother Xiaoxi might do this in normal times?”

What Lin Yuyou said wasn’t quite right. Yan Laixi didn’t let him out directly. He just said that he wanted to be alone for a while…but he still didn’t want to explain. Anyway, explaining would not change the conclusion. Instead, he would look more like a joke trying to make amends.

“And my brother is still immersed in his lingering love for Chi Fu.” Before Lin Yuyou could finish his words, he stabbed Feng Su happily into Feng Su’s heart. “My brother likes you. I admit it, but I can’t help it. Who made you the person in his dream? But for a person like my brother, even if he just notices that he is interested in you, he will even admit that he is interested in you.”It doesn’t even have to be to the point of liking him, it’s good that he doesn’t feel like he’s cheating on you, so what are you thinking about?If you can wake up in a dream, no one knows what he did, and if you can destroy his somewhat magical morals for your feelings, you probably have to despise yourself in your heart.”

Feng Su pursed his lips. The more he listened, the less he wanted to admit it, but he had to admit it. Lin Yuyou wanted to give him the final blow: “In other words, your confession to my brother is a sign that he is sure that he is dreaming… Haha!”

With an infectious smile on his face, Feng Su didn’t want to look at the wicked girl next to him who was gloating and smiling happily. He said, “It’s okay, at least I am still selfish, right?”, turned around and left.

On the other side, as if to verify Lin Yuyou’s words, Yan Laixi said: “I feel like I’m cheating… I’m still hiding it from Chi Fu and deceiving Feng Su.”

Let’s start with when Feng Su closed the door and went out for the third time. Yin Yuqiu stared at Yan Laixi without saying anything, with an expression like “If you don’t give me an explanation I can accept, I’m going to die.”

“Yesterday, ah, no, it was the day before yesterday, I went… to find Chi Fu.” Yan Laixi said.

“Yeah.” Yin Yuqiu said. He still had a sullen face, but he was cute and small, so he was really not a deterrent. “I guessed it yesterday when I saw the message deleted by Chi Fu. You ignored me when I sent you a message and called you. I don’t know where you are. I only have this location, so I am here to block you.”

“I told you not to be angry.” Yan Lai felt a little guilty. He wasn’t sure when this dream started, but it was certain that he was sleeping during the day yesterday, and it was certain that Qiuye would contact him. In other words, Qiuye was anxious because he couldn’t contact him, and it was probably happening in reality. “I have been sleeping since I went back yesterday morning, until this morning.”

“That’s good.” Yin Yuqiu breathed a sigh of relief, it was fine, but then he realized something was wrong again, “Why did you sleep for so long?”

What else he wanted to say was heard when Yan Laixi muttered to himself: “I hope you can forgive me so easily when you wake up.”

His voice was too low and unclear, so Yin Yuqiu subconsciously asked: “What did you say?”

“It’s nothing.” Yan Laixi said, “I just didn’t sleep all night to catch up on my sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night. It’s nothing.”

Yin Yuqiu: “You don’t think you are dreaming again, do you?”

“Huh?”

When it comes to other people’s expressions of confusion, you may still need to distinguish whether they are wondering why you suddenly asked this or wondering why you know. But it doesn’t apply to Yan Laixi.

Yin Yuqiu stood up and paced back and forth in the not-so-spacious lounge. Suddenly he raised his hand and rubbed his head, wailing: “Ah, ah, it’s so troublesome. How can I prove it to you?”

The bangs were rubbed all over his face, and the pigtails at the back were also messy. Yin Yuqiu went crazy and sat back down. He combed his hair with his fingers, took off the headband and tied it up again.

“I can only tell you that you are not dreaming.” Yin Yuqiu said wilfully, “But I would say the same thing in your dream, and I don’t know how to prove it.”

No, the person in the dream will not say that. In the dream, he cannot get the answer from others as to whether he is dreaming or not. No one will say to him, “Yes, you are dreaming”, or “No, you are not dreaming”. If he is really not dreaming now, and if his experiences in the past week are not dreams, then…can this also be a method to tell whether he is dreaming or not?

But if I wasn’t dreaming…

“Then why did he kiss me?”

Yin Yuqiu: “Who kissed you?”

Yan Laixi replied blankly: “Feng Su.”

Yin Yu Qiuye followed him: “He kissed you? Where?”

“Mouth.” Yan Laixi said. His brain was shutting down and his shyness function was not activated for the time being. “And there are ears?”

Yin Yuqiu: “Didn’t he not know you a week ago?”

Yan Laixi: “Yeah.”

In the next scene, if Lin Yuyou were here, he would definitely hold Yin Yuqiu’s hand, unite with her firmly, accuse Feng Su of being a hooligan, and shed tears of grief that her poor and simple brother was confused by the illusion in the dream, and finally began to persuade Yan Laixi to treat Feng Su as a spare tire.

He told Feng Su that he just kicked him. If he really tried to persuade Yan Laixi, he definitely couldn’t do so. He had to make adjustments according to the situation.

But Lin Yuyou was not there, and Yin Yuqiu, who didn’t know that he still had a comrade he had never met, was easily calmed down by Yan Laixi.Next, there is that amazing self-narration.

The person who had just sat down jumped up again, more excited than when he heard that Feng Su had kissed Yan Laixi: “Who did you hide it from? Who did you lie to? Did you destroy Chi Fu’s memory? Did Feng Su not know about Chi Fu or that you would dream about him? And why did he cheat on you? You and Chi Fu are over, okay? Feng Su was also behind it, okay?”

“But Chi Fu really doesn’t know anything, Feng Su… Feng Su…”

After not saying the second half of the sentence for a long time, Yin Yuqiu said “I knew it” on his face and said, “Look, you can’t even explain what happened to you.”

He pursed his lips, but still planned to say this: “Besides, does Chi Fu know the difference? He won’t remember it. Don’t take it seriously with yourself.”

“Then what should I do now… Feng Su…?” Yan Laixi did not refute. He was more confused now. Was he really not dreaming?Then why does Feng Su like him?If this is really the case, how should he respond?

“Do you like him?” Yin Yuqiu asked.

“I don’t know.” Yan Laixi said, “I don’t know if I like him in a romantic way. Even if I do, I don’t know if I actually only like him in the dream.”

“That’s love.” Yin Yuqiu seized the opportunity to interject, stopping the long discussion that might follow, and directly concluded, “He likes you, and you like him too, so give it a try, but don’t take it too seriously. Others will be sad for two days at most when they break up. You can kill half of your life, and now you only have half left in total. If you want it again, it will be gone.”

Yan Laixi obviously doesn’t care what happens to him. He has another place to put his concerns: “It’s not fair to him.”

Yin Yuqiu: “Who? If it’s Chi Fu, he forgot about you first. If it’s Feng Su, didn’t he kiss you and say he likes you? Isn’t that unfair?”

“But I should regard him as the person in the dream… and for Chi Fu…” Yan Laixi lowered his head, twirling his sleeves with his fingers, and wrote entanglement from head to toe, “I even left a little something about Chi Fu.”

Yin Yuqiu felt that he was almost so angry that he passed away. He rubbed his chest to calm down a few times before continuing: “Didn’t he know that you would dream about him? Didn’t he know that you might regard him as the person in the dream? Didn’t he know that you hadn’t completely let go of Chi Fu? Didn’t he know that you brought him back when you lived in his house?Is there something?Anyway, you definitely didn’t hide it, and you definitely didn’t go to find Chi Fu without telling Feng Su.No matter what it is, do you think he wouldn’t guess it’s related to Chi Fu, right?Then he doesn’t think it’s a problem, so why are you condemning yourself for him?”

Yan Laixi had nothing to say. The answer was indeed all that he knew, but he still felt awkward.People are like this, even if the logic is clear, their emotions will be unreasonable.

“Forget it, I can’t explain it to you for a while. I hope you’re fine.” Yin Yuqiu felt like a puffer fish today, swelling and deflating at one time and another. “What about the Chinese New Year? What are you planning?”

“Same as before, Feng Su agreed to keep me until the New Year. I should be preparing to move after the New Year.” Yan Laixi suddenly remembered that the application would take time and said, “By the way, I’m going to check out the house.”

“Don’t worry.” Yin Yuqiu drew out the tone, leaned back on the chair, puffed out his cheeks, more like a little pufferfish, and said in a neutral tone, “He must be hoping that you won’t leave at all now. If you don’t believe me, wait for him to come back later and ask to test it out.”

As he said that, he suddenly sat up again, looked at Yan Laixi with bright eyes, and asked, “Will you come to my house? Come celebrate my birthday, how about it?”

Yan Laixi joked: “Then am I too bright?”

“Why are you showing off? It’s just the two of us every year.” Yin Yuqiu stretched out his hand and tilted his head to the left, then to the right, “I did it one day, and he did it the next day. The same process is repeated for two days, why don’t you do it for one day?”

“It still doesn’t work.” Yan Laixi still refused and said, “Mom is not young anymore, and the children are noisy again during the New Year. I will go back for a few days to help.”

“Okay.” Yin Yuqiu was a little disappointed. He leaned back on his chair and said to the ceiling: “If I know that someone rejected my birthday invitation not for the reason of telling me but for a love affair, I will take him to a coriander dinner.”

Yan Laixi: “Then the two of us will vomit together?”

“I’ll bring a package of instant noodles.” Yin Yuqiu said, “I watched him eat, and I plugged my nose and ate the noodles next to him.”
