summer monsoon

Ji Xing thought about it and said, "Rourou and I go to her place to spend Christmas Eve every year, and there will be gifts from Santa Claus the next day~ But after getting married, Rourou is gone, and I don't even have anything to take with her." .”

"Santa Claus is a liar." Lin Fengliang said. "When I was in elementary school, I told everyone in my class that there was no Santa Claus in this world, and they all cried."

Ji Xing laughed back and got over his breath, and rolled into the room: "I can't be with the giraffe anymore, I might get sick."

Lin Fengliang followed into the house, went to the bathroom to wash inside and out, changed his clothes, stuffed the pajamas that had chances of being stained with giraffe hair into a plastic bag and tied them tightly.

On the way back by car, Ji Xinghui felt a little unwell and coughed from time to time.Lin Fengliang couldn't help but look sideways at him.

"It's okay, don't keep staring at me, just take it easy." Ji Xing patted his pocket back: "The medicine is here, don't be afraid."

He said the same thing that day, don't be afraid.

In the eyes of others, I have never been a fragile person, and no one thinks that he will be afraid, except Ji Xinghui.Lin Fengliang was actually not afraid, but nervous. He never needed to help others, and Ji Xinghui was also the first person who needed his help since he was sensible.Thinking of Ji Xing leaning back in his arms and holding his fingers that day, his nervousness was also faintly mixed with some unknown excitement.Is it because I haven't experienced the feeling of being needed for a long time? Lin Fengliang is not sure.

"Let me drive."

"You can drive?" Ji Xinghui was a little surprised.This seemingly inexperienced person can drive a car. It really is wrong to judge people by their appearance.

"I learned it a few days ago." Lin Fengliang stared at the dashboard and recalled: "One step, two hangs, three starts, overtaking and turning lights."

Ji Xinghui was stimulated and coughed violently, his voice sounded like a bellows had been broken.

"Hey, let me live a few more years." Ji Xinghui shook his head dumbfounded, "This is not the job a prince should do."

"I really will. I'll drive for a while if you don't feel well, it doesn't matter if there are fewer cars here." Lin Fengliang ignored the sarcasm and patiently persuaded him.

"Okay, you can. But you don't have an international driver's license, it's against the rules, and the two of us will be arrested." Ji Xing coaxed him back, drove the car to the rest area to refuel, and took a breath.

Lin Fengliang got out of the car and walked into the small supermarket at the gas station.There is only one young blonde girl tallying the goods in the supermarket.He was a little hesitant, and looked back out of the window. Ji Xinghui was holding a grease gun in his hand, and smiled at him with his eyes.

"Excuse me, can I have a glass of warm water?" Lin Fengliang lowered his volume to try to smile a little.

"Ah, ice, is ice water okay..." the saleswoman said with a blushing face, and dropped the chocolate bar in her hand.

Lin Fengliang squatted on the bed to help her pick it up, "I have a stomachache and can't drink ice water. Can you help me?"

"Okay, wait for me. There is a way." The female shop quickly walked to the coffee machine, took a paper cup of boiling water, opened a bottle of iced mineral water, and poured half a cup into it. "Here, drink it quickly, we have painkillers here, do you want it?"

"I brought painkillers myself, thank you!" Lin Fengliang bowed slightly to express his gratitude, and walked out with a glass of warm water.

Ji Xinghui sat in the driver's cab with the door open, the seat half down, his arms resting on his forehead, and he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Lin Fengliang pushed him: "Drink some water."

Ji Xinghui opened his eyes, reached out to take the water glass and held it, his fingertips felt warm.

"Hot water?" Ji Xing looked back at him, "Foreigners have never understood our habit of drinking hot water. You asked someone for hot water, but they didn't think you were sick."

"There is a coffee machine inside." Lin Fengliang replied. "If I ask someone else, I usually won't be rejected."

That's true. . .Ji Xing cursed back.Who made this a world of faces, especially when the clerk was a girl.

"Have you never been rejected?" Ji Xing sipped back.

Lin Fengliang thought for a long time, but he couldn't remember the last time he asked others for help except Xiao Ci.

"I don't remember. Thinking about it this way, I don't seem to have asked others much."

Ji Xinghui looked at him quietly for a while, and said seriously, "Thank you."

The original 2-hour drive was turned into more than 3 hours by them.

Rourou's family of three were already waiting at the gate of the courtyard.They simply packed a change of clothes, and boarded a sturdy blue pickup together. A red reindeer nose was glued to the Toyota logo on the front of the car, and a nearly 2-meter-long Christmas tree was tied in the back of the car.

The tradition of Gu Rourou's family is to take Vivian to grandma's house on Christmas Eve, and go to Grandma Vivian's house on Christmas Eve.

After spending so many days together, Lin Fengliang has a general understanding of Ji Xinghui's situation. He and Gu Rourou are half-brothers and sisters. His mother, Gu Mei, grew up here. Because of work, he met Ji Xinghui's father who came on a business trip. After the two fell in love, Gu Mei followed her husband back to live in China.However, no matter how romantic and impulsive they are, they are no match for leaving their hometown. After a long time, the different rhythms of the two brought the marriage to an end.After the peaceful divorce, 4-year-old Ji Xinghui was left in China.It was not until high school that he was sent to his mother again and began to travel between the northern and southern hemispheres.Gu Rourou is not only his sister, but also his first friend here.

Neeson is much simpler, a native born and bred local, or the kind with a mine at home.Vivienne looks 5% like her father, with her eyes and mouth like her mother, so cute and outrageous.

When seeing Gu Mei, Lin Fengliang couldn't help sighing that the probability of the deer eye being dominant must be [-]%.

Ji Xing said that this 50-year-old mother who still has charm is a bit too cute.There seems to be no sense of lazy age, as if he has just entered middle age.She hugged Vivienne and kissed her pink face vigorously, then turned around and dragged Lin Fengliang into the door as if greeting her own family.

"Oh, you're so handsome. Xing Xing seldom shows me friends here. What's your name?" Gu Mei sat opposite Lin Fengliang with her face in her hands.

Lin Fengliang is very used to being watched by others, so he doesn't feel uncomfortable.

"Come on, girl, where's your husband?" Ji Xinghui couldn't bear to look any longer, and went to Lin Fengliang's side: "Can you take a look at your dear son?"

"Yeah, my son is handsome too." Gu Mei smiled happily, "Your uncle went to buy a cake, and Rourou and the others won't be here tomorrow, so I'll celebrate your birthday early today."

Gu Rourou suddenly took out a silver-wrapped box and pushed it in front of Ji Xinghui: "No, the color you like. Happy Xingxing's 27th birthday!"

Ji Xing tore off the wrapping paper several times. It was the latest portable sports camera.

"This! It's my sister who loves me!" Ji Xinghui jumped up excitedly, and hugged Gu Rourou in a circle.

Lin Fengliang was stunned, Ji Xing's birthday?All this way, Ji Xinghui led him unilaterally, but he didn't seem to do anything, enjoying the care of others for no reason.Except for a glass of warm water today.

He thought of Ji Xinghui holding the water glass and saying thank you, with a warm smile in his eyes.

After one dinner, Lin Fengliang was restless.

He couldn't figure out why he was thanked, why he enjoyed the unreserved kindness of these strangers.How could a selfish and boring person like him deserve such a friend.But they accepted him naturally, as if they had known him for a long time.

During the dinner, Gu Rourou kept praising Lin Fengliang to her parents.

"Dad! Do you remember, I showed you! He! Lin Fengliang! World-class!" She was no longer a mother, but she turned back into a daughter in front of her parents.

"Remember." Gu Rourou's father looked at Lin Fengliang lovingly: "It's really great. Rourou has always admired you. A world-class star has come to spend Christmas Eve with us!"

The big star was silent.

"Xiao Lin, is it because the food is not to your liking, why do you eat so little?" Gu Mei's concerned tone made Lin Fengliang's palms sweat.

"There is no auntie, it's all delicious." Lin Fengliang's plate was filled with food from Gu Mei and Gu Rourou.Grilled chicken, baked scallops with cheese, shrimp ball salad, this plate has been kept on top for more than an hour.

Seeing that Lin Fengliang was absent-minded, Ji Xinghui quickly finished the meal.

"Mom, I'll show him around, you guys eat slowly."

Lin Fengliang's wrist was grasped by the familiar touch again, he stood up following the force, and followed Ji Xing when he turned around.

Ji Xinghui took him up to the roof.

"People who have lived abroad for a long time are different from us. Their minds are more simple, and they are not very good at observing words and expressions. Don't mind." Ji Xing lay back on the rattan beach chair and looked at the sky.

"No, I don't mind." In fact, Lin Fengliang would occasionally attend dinners with a lot of people, after games, or to support the club owner.He is used to those people looking at him with meaningful eyes during the banquet, as if they were looking at a beautiful object.He knew that in the eyes of these people, he was a tool for making money and a decoration for entertainment.

He lay down on another beach chair and turned his head to look at Ji Xinghui, who was hesitant to speak.He wasn't in a hurry, he was just surprised why this person could always detect his mood changes quickly.

"Lin Fengliang." He called him by his full name.

"Ok?"

Ji Xinghui struggled with his words for a long time, and finally decided to be more direct: "You, why don't you like being close to people? Why don't you make friends?"

"Get used to being alone. Besides, no one wants to get close to me, let alone be my friend."

Lin Fengliang remembered that since elementary school, his parents were not around. After junior high school, he missed classes because of training, and became more and more withdrawn and unable to speak. Gradually, everyone began to shy away from him.

"When I was young, no one talked with me. My dad said, I have to be obedient. When I grow up, I have to listen to the coach at first, and then the boss. I just need to practice hard and compete well." Lin Fengliang said: "Coach They'll take care of everything for me, and I don't need to worry about anything."

So, he is so good at listening.

Ji Xinghui has many questions to ask.

He wants to ask why he doesn't have anything he likes, how he spends his time, and what he wants.But he didn't dare to ask, he had a premonition that these answers would make him sad.This man locked himself in the cold castle, watching people outside the castle comment on him, and even swear at each other.They also told him that you are the little prince.

But a place where only one person lives is not a castle, but a cage.

Lin Fengliang thought of those psychology books on the bookshelf, and four big words popped into his mind: social barriers.

So he decided not to ask any more questions.

"Lin Fengliang, I will be your friend from now on." He said.

"Why?" Lin Fengliang sat up and looked at him, "I don't know anything."

Ji Xing smiled back and said, "It's fine if I know it. So, do you want to be my friend?"

"want."

The feeling of melting ice came again.Lin Fengliang felt his heart heat up.

"Thank you for staying with me these days."

"It's not called 'accompanying you'," Ji Xinghui corrected him, "We call it 'together'."

Lin Fengliang suddenly remembered something, he turned his head and said: "Wait for me a while!" He ran downstairs and grabbed Gu Rourou

"can you do me a favor?"

He leaned into Gu Rourou's ear and said, "Can you lend me the key to the ice rink?"
