half

Ruan Tang understood this sentence, pursed his lips slightly, and said, "Ruan Tang is not a fool."

"Then tell me, how old are you?"

After thinking about it, Ruan Tang gave him the same explanation as in the afternoon: "It used to be fourteen, but mother said it was sixteen today."

"Isn't that stupid? Let others know that you were originally 14 years old. This mansion doesn't want you."

Zhou Jincheng told him word for word seriously.

Ruan Tang was frightened by him, and begged eagerly: "Then brother, don't tell others..."

"Why?" Zhou Jincheng said, "I don't want a book boy, what are you doing here?"

How could Ruan Tang know so many reasons.

He let go of the hand around Zhou Jincheng's neck, and instead took Zhou Jincheng's hand on his leg and held it.

Warmly wrapping Zhou Jincheng in his palm, he squeezed his mouth a little aggrieved, and the two sweet dimples came out again.

Zhou Jincheng just thought it was funny, and poked with his other hand as his heart moved.

"Brother..." Ruan Tang didn't understand why, but he remembered what his mother had taught him before. When someone touched him, pushed him, kicked him, or touched him, he had to say, "Don't bully me."

Zhou Jincheng raised his eyebrows, and then poked at one of his dimples, "Is this considered bullying?"

Ruan Tang suddenly felt a little guilty, "Then...that doesn't count."

Zhou Jincheng glanced at him lightly, as if he was still not satisfied, he wanted to let go of Ruan Tang's hand, and Ruan Tang immediately wrapped him around again, "Brother..."

"Who is your brother?"

He does have a half-brother, but the number of elder brothers that that kid calls in a year is not as much as this little fool calls in a day.

Ruan Tang was a little uncertain, and asked him, "Then are you the younger brother?"

Zhou Jincheng said, "I am your father."

Ruan Tang was completely wronged, "It's a lie. Mother said that everyone has only one father, and the elder brother is the elder brother."

At the end, Ruan Tang prolonged the word "brother", which was soft and pitiful.

Zhou Jincheng didn't want to talk to him anymore, so he put him on the ground with Ruan Tang around his neck, so he could only tilt his upper body and said, "Go out and sleep with you."

The conversation between the two returned to the original point, "I'm afraid..."

Ruan Tang was only wearing a middle coat, and when he hugged Zhou Jincheng tightly, there was a faint scent of saponin, mixed with an unknown smell.

It may be on Ruan Tang himself, it is very warm and makes people feel sorry for him.

Zhou Jincheng has been in the lawsuit with him for so long, and his patience has long since run out.Keep teasing the fool who doesn't look like a fool, and don't even want to say a word.

He pulled Ruan Tang's hands away and lay down on his side, only showing Ruan Tang a view of his back, letting the little fool stand by the bed and call him brother in a low voice, regardless of how many times.

Slowly, the room fell silent.Zhou Jincheng didn't hear the idiot go out, but it was true that no one called his brother Anxiety anymore.

After reading the book for a whole day, I even went out at noon.Zhou Jincheng originally wanted to let Ruan Tang hang out, but he really fell asleep before he knew it.

As soon as it was dawn, Zhou Jincheng woke up before the servant girl called.

He sat up, stretched his legs, and kicked something cold.

Ruan Tang woke up rubbing his eyes, still curled up at the bottom of Zhou Jincheng's feet, with a confused expression on his face, and hadn't recovered yet.

Zhou Jincheng's complexion was very bad, "Who asked you to sleep here?"

Ruan Tang just got up from the bed, almost rolled out of the bed, and said repeatedly: "I was wrong, brother, I was wrong."

Zhou Jincheng walked on the ground, put on his clothes and shoes, and after tidying up, he asked the servant girl to bring water in.

The maid only put the water outside the screen, this is Zhou Jincheng's rule.

While he was washing his face and rinsing his mouth, Ruan Tang stood aside.Unprepared, Zhou Jincheng took a step back and almost knocked him down, subconsciously he had to stretch out his hand to grab him.

The wrist that was held in his hand felt cold, reminding Zhou Jincheng of the feeling of kicking him on the bed just now.

Even though it was summer, the whole night was covered with nothing, and the whole body of this fool was cold.

Seeing that he stopped suddenly, Ruan Tang didn't scold himself, and didn't become aggressive anymore, he was happy, and with a sweet smile on his face, he called Zhou Jincheng softly: "Brother, it's time for breakfast."

Zhou Jincheng glanced at him, and decided to return him to Zhou An after breakfast.

Breakfast was served outside, and Zhou Jincheng ate it alone, but it was still very rich.

Ruan Tang stood watching, there were four fried spring rolls, Zhou Jincheng ate two, and when he went to pick them up again, he stopped him, stumbling and said: "Brother, you, why don't you eat something else, this is not much, Not much more."

He blushed, a little aggrieved.

Although this elder brother is good-looking... he is very good-looking, but he is actually very fierce. Ruan Tang knows it, and feels that he is unreasonable.

Ruan Tang was a little afraid of him, but he agreed to give half to each person, why can't brother always remember, Ruan Tang could only remind Zhou Jincheng once more: "Eat half, brother."

All the way from home to here, his mother divided him and his sisters in this way.It's just that they are separated, the three sisters are gone, only him and his parents are left.

Ying'er was waiting outside the door. It took a long time for breakfast that day, and when Zhou Jincheng asked her to go in to collect her things, the little book boy had just finished the last mouthful of porridge and still forgot to wipe his mouth.

The handkerchief on Yinger's body was new, so she was reluctant to take it out for Ruan Tang. Seeing that he hadn't washed his face, she pushed him towards the Nuan Pavilion, "Eldest and young masters have gone to the study, why haven't you tidied yourself up. Hurry up." After finishing it, go to serve the young master to study."

Ruan Tang swallowed the food in his mouth, bent over to wash his face after listening to Yinger's words.

Zhou Jincheng didn't actually go to the study, he just went out to feed the dog for a while.

When he came in, he happened to meet Ruan Tang wiping his face, his hair was combed neatly, his face was damp, and he looked very refreshed.With dimples on her cheeks, she is no longer a dirty little cat.

Ruan Tang was actually good when he was a child, and he could even be called smart. Everyone in the neighborhood liked Bai Shengsheng's little bun.

It's just that he had a high fever when he was six years old, and since then, his reaction has been slow, and his brain can't keep up with the growth of his body.

But as long as his mother taught him a few more times, Ruan Tang could learn many things.

After he got dressed, he was still wearing the light blue jacket and trousers with lace-ups from yesterday, and happily followed behind Zhou Jincheng.

Zhou Jincheng had originally planned to ask Zhou Anlai to take Ruan Tang back, but at this moment, he thought again, he should wait another two days.

He said to Ruan Tang: "Fool, don't call me brother anymore, it will cause headaches for annoying people."

Ruan Tang looked up at the young master who was more than a head taller than himself, and asked suspiciously, "What's that called?"

Zhou Jincheng said: "Nothing is allowed. It's best to shut up and not say a word."

Ruan Tang nodded obediently, indicating that he knew.This time, he didn't even make a sound, and carried out the order thoroughly.

It's a pity that halfway through the road, Ruan Tang pulled Zhou Jincheng's sleeve with a bitter face.

"What?"

Ruan Tang looked at him eagerly.

Zhou Jincheng had no choice but to say, "You can talk."

Ruan Tang said: "...I want to relieve myself."

He subconsciously wanted to call his brother again, but fortunately he held back.

Zhou Jincheng had no choice but to take him somewhere to relieve himself.

Ruan Tang quickly came out shaking the water beads in his hand, Zhou Jincheng stood there waiting, he hurried over, still grabbed Zhou Jincheng's cuff, and said a few times, meaning let's go.

Later, Zhou Jincheng played charades with him several times in the study, and finally couldn't take it anymore, and said to Ruan Tang, "Okay, just say what you want."

Ruan Tang breathed a sigh of relief, he was almost suffocated just now, "Can you also call me brother?"

Zhou Jincheng said, "You can call me, call me dad."

"It's not father." Ruan Tang widened his eyes, and explained to his brother again, "Everyone has only one father, and I already have one. An older brother is an older brother."

This brother is really a bit stupid.Ruan Tang secretly thought, narrowed his eyes, and smiled foolishly.

Zhou Jincheng was putting down his pen to rest for a while. Seeing him sniggering, he couldn't help but dragged him to him, clamped his legs, and asked coolly, "What are you laughing at?"

Ruan Tang knew that he couldn't speak ill of others, so he shook his head quickly, "I'm just happy, there's no joke brother is stupid."

The little fool sold himself with one sentence, so easily, Zhou Jincheng didn't know how to settle accounts with him.

"I am stupid?"

While talking, Zhou Jincheng reached out and rubbed the earlobe of the fool Bai Shengsheng, intending to give him pain.But when the hand touched it, it only felt soft, and there was no strength to put it down. In the end, he just rubbed it, and Ruan Tang, who was itchy, hid away.

Zhou Jincheng didn't tell him to hide. The strength of the two people was very different. It looked like they were fighting, but in fact Ruan Tang was firmly suppressed by Zhou Jincheng.

In order to tease him, Zhou Jincheng relaxed his strength from time to time to let him struggle.

"Brother...Brother..."

Ruan Tang gasped with laughter, and looked at Zhou Jincheng in a helpless manner, begging for mercy in his eyes, and there was something else that made Zhou Jincheng pause.

He thought of Zhou Jinzhong, his younger brother who was born six months after his stepmother came in.

I am nine years old this year, but I haven't spoken to him a few words.Only during the holidays, when four people sat at the same table to eat, Zhou Jincheng would occasionally catch him peeking at himself like this.

It is a kind of admiration and fear for the elder brother, wanting to get close, but also a little afraid.

Zhou Jincheng is only seventeen, he has lost some of his childishness at this time, but he has already begun to get used to a life of disordered relationships and ignoring blood relatives.

"Brother, do you want to read a book?"

Ruan Tang hid from Zhou Jincheng's loosened arms, but he didn't run far, only one step away, and said to Zhou Jincheng.

Zhou Jincheng asked him: "Fool, do you know your name?"

Ruan Tang took it for granted, "You know, it used to be called Ruan Tang, but Mr. An said it was changed to Zhou Tang."

Zhou Jincheng hummed.

Let's leave this idiot alone.

I have already bought it, I don’t want it myself, so what can Zhou An do with him when I return it?Looking at him like that, he can't do heavy work, and his brain is not smart enough, let alone fine work.

Zhou Jincheng was used to doing everything by himself, Ruan Tang didn't realize it first, and Zhou Jincheng didn't give him any instructions.

He read the book quietly, and after a while, he saw the little fool standing and bending over, lying on the desk and falling asleep.

Zhou Jincheng glanced at it. This person's sleeping position is so strange, but he still sleeps so soundly.Both faces were flushed, their mouths were slightly pouting, a drop of sweat dripped from the tip of their small noses, they breathed long and hard, and they looked like they couldn't wake up easily.

The study here is built in the shade of the trees, very cool, so people don't feel hot, but comfortable, little fool.

Zhou Jincheng read a book by himself, counting the time, and about two cups of tea time later, the sleeping Ruan Tang's knees gave way, and he woke up with a start. When he got up, he saw Zhou Jincheng just passing behind him.

Ruan Tang rubbed his eyes and walked over to take the teapot from Zhou Jincheng's hand to pour water for him.

Zhou Jincheng gave it to him.Ruan Tang poured it over, handed it to Zhou Jincheng to drink after pouring, and watched him take two sips, then said, "I want to drink too."

"Find another cup yourself."

There was not a single cup for drinking tea in the study. Ruan Tang searched around to no avail, his face was still red from waking up, and his eyes were not fully awake. He returned to Zhou Jincheng, "No..."

"Then we can only drink it directly from the teapot," Zhou Jincheng said.

Ruan Tang was a little puzzled, he had never done this before, but no one said it could not be done.

Under Zhou Jincheng's indifferent eyes, Ruan Tang dispelled the hesitation in his heart, picked up the teapot and drank from the spout.

Before he could take a sip, the lid of the pot flipped out, spilling the tea on Ruan Tangman's front.

Zhou Jincheng couldn't help but tilted his head and laughed. No matter how stupid Ruan Tang was, he knew he was being teased, but he couldn't lose his temper, so he called out, "Brother..."

After he called Zhou Jincheng without even complaining, he just stood there helpless.He was holding the teapot with the lid off in one hand, and was pulling the tea leaves in front of his chest with the other, making a mess.

Zhou Jincheng suppressed a few coughs, driving away his noontime sleepiness.

It's okay to get a little wet in summer, Zhou Jincheng thought so.It's a pity that the little fool knew how to cherish himself, and followed Zhou Jincheng who sat back at the desk, nagging endlessly.

"I want to change clothes."

"Brother, it's so cold, I need to change clothes."

"Brother...Brother..."

"My brother took me to change clothes."

Zhou Jincheng touched his front with the book in one hand, "This is about to be done."

"I didn't do it." Ruan Tang looked horrified "I'm going to die of illness", "Mother said that if the clothes are wet, you will catch a cold, and if you catch a cold, you will have a fever. Brother... I am afraid of having a fever."

Zhou Jincheng had no choice but to carry him into the small compartment of the study, find out a set of his old clothes for him, "here, change."

Ruan Tang was a little disgusted, "It's too big."

"Then don't change it." Zhou Jincheng made a gesture to accept it, but Ruan Tang became anxious again, grabbed a length of sleeve and said, "I'll change it, I'll change it."

Zhou Jincheng stood there with his arms folded and watched him change his clothes, probably because the road to escape from the wilderness was really hard, the child was so thin that he could see the bones, and the ribs were clearly visible.

But it was still very white, as if it was about to reflect light.

Ruan Tang wiped his chest several times with the clothes he took off before he started to wear the suit that Zhou Jincheng found for him.The movements are slow and orderly, and the sequence is very clear.

Zhou Jincheng found that as long as the little fool didn't speak, it looked like that.

A bit like a book boy.

The long gown barely dragged the floor, sweeping back and forth on Ruan Tang's insteps, his waist was widened, and the sleeves were pulled down as if about to perform in an opera.

Ruan Tang folded his changed clothes and held them in his arms, remembering to take them out to dry later.

Right now, he walked to Zhou Jincheng's side first, stretched out his hand from the too long sleeve, grabbed Zhou Jincheng's, and said to Zhou Jincheng like coaxing a child, "Brother, don't bully me."

Zhou Jincheng just found a belt from somewhere, pulled up the long gown, and fastened it to Ruan Tang, and said, "Who bullies a fool?"

Ruan Tang shrank his neck, his big eyes flickered, his long eyelashes were slightly wet, and said, "I'm not stupid..."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Jincheng carried him out of the cubicle, "I said yes."

Zhou Jincheng called him again: "Little fool."

Ruan Tang had no choice but to let him call and go out by himself. After walking a long way, he found a place where the sun was drying, and spread his clothes on the ground to dry.

He squatted on the spot guarding his clothes, and was sweated by the sun in a short while.When he returned to the study, his face was red from neck to neck, Zhou Jincheng frowned, and told him to go back to take a bath, "Just like this stinky sweat, don't come into my room to sleep at night."

Ruan Tang followed Ying'er with a downcast face, Zhou Jincheng realized later, why what he just said was so similar to a little daughter-in-law who dislikes men?
