In the evening, Yin Zhiyao finished his homework, walked to the window, looked at the dark building opposite, hesitated for a moment, and finally called Cheng Wan.

The phone only rang once before it was picked up. His familiar voice with a faint smile came from the receiver: "Take the initiative to call? It's rare."

Yin Zhiyao said seriously: "Because after the second semester of my second year of high school, I became more and more busy studying, so I often didn't contact you."

"I see, I was so busy studying that I forgot about my brother."

"Um."

Yu Bai told her that she had to raise her posture first.

Cheng Wan didn't seem to mind the little girl's awkward attitude and said, "Your brother said you ranked 19th in the class in the final exam. Congratulations, you have made great progress."

"Only 19th." Yin Zhiyao sighed and said, "I'm not satisfied. This is not my true level."

Cheng Wan: "..."

Yin Zhiyao: "Why don't you speak?"

Cheng Wan: "If you continue to imitate your green tea tablemate's speech, I will beat up the children when I come back."

Yin Zhiyao was silent for a while, and finally whispered: "Then I won't be like this anymore, brother."

Cheng Wan: "Be good."

Even though they haven't contacted each other for a long time, there is no sense of distance between the two of them when they chat, as if they were living and playing together yesterday.

Yin Zhiyao said tentatively: "Let me tell you some good news. Your baby partner seems to have a boyfriend?"

Cheng Wan didn't seem to have any special reaction to this matter, but he asked her: "What do you think is this good news for me?"

Yin Zhiyao paused and said, "She has a boyfriend. You don't have to cry in the heavy rain anymore."

"The dog girl is too concerned about my love life."

Yin Zhiyao hesitated for a moment and said angrily: "I don't really care. It's just that if you are still crying because of an unhappy arranged marriage at your age, it would be quite embarrassing if you think about it."

"Then you are really compassionate."

Yin Zhiyao heard the noisy voices on the other side of Cheng Wan's phone, and it seemed like someone was calling him: "Cheng Wan, the guest's phone is flooded, please help to deal with it."

"I'm not free now."

After Cheng Wang decisively refused, he took the phone and walked to a slightly secluded place.

Yin Zhiyao clearly heard the voice on the other end of the receiver go silent, and it was so quiet that the only sound was his deep breathing.

"Brother, are you busy now? Then I won't disturb you..."

Before she finished speaking, Cheng Wan interrupted her and said, "I'm not busy."

"..."

The tone seemed a little urgent, and the two of them were silent for a few seconds.

Cheng Wan added belatedly: "You don't call me often, so I don't lack these few minutes. I just want to talk a little longer."

Yin Zhiyao's heart, which had gradually returned to calm, was stirred up by these few words.

"Brother, did that person just ask you to fix your phone?"

"Well, your brother is in a miserable situation. Without the marriage, the family can hardly survive. No, he can work part-time outside to earn extra money."

His tone, which sounded like a joke but not a joke, actually had a hint of coquettishness.

Yin Zhiyao just thought he was joking and teasing her, and said in a low voice: "Then it's still too late for you to chase Xu Ruotong back now."

"Is there still a chance?"

"You really want to?"

Cheng Wang teased her and said, "I have thought about it occasionally."

Yin Zhiyao was a little excited and said righteously: "Brother, marriage is not a springboard for your career! If you do this, I will look down on you!"

Cheng smiled and murmured in a deep voice: "Little devil..."

Yin Zhiyao realized that he was overreacting, took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked, "Do you really work in a mobile phone store?"

"Next time I come back and give you a cell phone film, acquaintances will get a 20% discount, and my sister will get a 7.5% discount."

Yin Zhiyao was amused by him and said angrily: "It's only 7.50% off, so I'm losing money."

"Okay, I'll give it to you for free, and I'll pour you a cup of milk tea."

Yin Zhiyao was happy for less than two seconds when he heard Cheng Huan say: "By the way, last time you asked Qiao Zhengyang to introduce me to my girlfriend. He has arranged a lot for me recently."

"ah!"

Yin Zhiyao's heart suddenly started to twitch again: "He really introduced you to your girlfriend?!"

"There are a lot of girls in their liberal arts colleges."

"He's gone too far!"

Cheng Wan raised his voice and said, "Is it too much?"

After realizing that he had lost his temper, Yin Zhiyao quickly added: "I mean... you are so busy now, and he bothers you. You are really not a friend enough."

Cheng Wan just laughed and didn't refute her.

Yin Zhiyao felt unwilling and asked again: "Then he has introduced so many girls to you, have you met the one who makes your heart beat loudly?"

"Among the people he introduced, I didn't meet a girl that made my heart beat." Cheng Wan said calmly: "But..."

"What?"

"Forget it, it's nothing. Don't worry about my love life all day long. You haven't passed the college entrance examination yet."

Yin Zhiyao curled his lips and said in a low voice: "I'm not worried about your love life. I just think you're not ugly. It's so pitiful that you have been alone for so many years."

"Kid, you are quite conflicted." Cheng Wan said, "Then do you want me to fall in love, or not?"

Yin Zhiyao's cheeks turned red, for fear of being seen by him: "Of course I hope! I hope you fall in love and get married soon. Anyway, this has nothing to do with me, not at all!"

Cheng Wang knew that the little girl was thin-skinned, so he simply stopped teasing her and just said: "Gou sister, grow up quickly and come to Beicheng to find me."

Yin Zhiyao was stunned: "Coming to Beicheng?"

"Um."

"What, what if I don't come to Beicheng?" Yin Zhiyao thought for a while and said, "What if I get admitted to another city?"

"Where do you want to go?"

"I haven't thought about it, but why should I be in the same city as you? You're not..."

She lowered her voice and said, "You are not my...boyfriend."

Cheng Wan smiled lightly: "If I were your boyfriend, would you come to my city?"

Yin Zhiyao:?

"Okay, I won't disturb your study."

"No, please speak clearly, speak clearly..."

Beep beep, Cheng Wan has hung up the phone.

Yin Zhiyao clutched the phone and thought for a long time, but still felt that he was joking to tease her.

She edited a text message to Cheng Wan: "Brother, if you want to find a girlfriend, that person must like you very much."

You must like him more than her.

But after writing these words, I felt a little stupid and quickly deleted the text message.

She didn't dare to say these words to him, so she could only think about it by herself.

Unexpectedly, just after clearing the message, a text message from Cheng Wan came in. The message was very short, only one line -

"Spring is almost over, and my brother suddenly misses you so much."

...

Yin Zhiyao looked at this sentence and was confused for a long time.

Although she knew that this sentence was probably unambiguous, she couldn't help but roll around happily on the bed.

Like a little lunatic, Yin Zhiyao was excited for a while and suddenly thought of Qiao Zhengyang.

She rushed into his room like a gust of wind and found his favorite anime figure - a game cartoon character with a devilish figure.

She pinched the neck of the figure and made a video call to Qiao Zhengyang: "Qiao Zhengyang, tell me honestly what good things have you done recently?"

Qiao Zhengyang saw the cartoon characters in the video clearly and said excitedly: "Oh, my wife, don't be excited. Just put my wife down and talk! You have something to say!"

"Truthfully confess your criminal behavior."

"You...you discovered everything?"

Yin Zhiyao broke the neck of the doll and threatened fiercely: "If you dare to do something like this again next time, your wife will be dead!"

"Stingy guy, I didn't take all the money in your piggy bank. I left two or three hundred for you, right?"
