Although they started their business by doing dangerous business, Shijia has registered many industries. In the "Little Silicon Valley" of Nanwan District, there is a special science and technology building for office, and it also legally sells equipment products for civilian purposes.

It was already past two o'clock at night, and the whole building was completely dark. Qiu Shili raised his head and estimated that at least the 30th floor, he thought.Sure enough, the buttons in the elevator extend all the way to 36, but Shi Zhanyang's office is on the 12th floor.

"The floors are too high for fire rescue," Shi Zhanyang explained, "If you buy a house in the future, you should also choose the 5th to 13th floor, which is the safest."

Qiu Shili fell asleep staring at the rising numbers, "I don't want to buy a house."

"Haha, that's right," Shi Zhanyang said with a smile, "but you will grow up, and you will work on my floor when you grow up." He led Qiu Shili out of the elevator, opened the explosion-proof doors with his fingerprints, Entered the realm where I usually stay.

It was a suite, with an office, a reception room, a kitchenette, a bedroom and a bathroom, perhaps because it was too large and too few sundries, it seemed empty.Shi Zhanyang felt more comfortable here, and when he stayed in San Francisco but didn't want to go home, he would stay here.

Seeing that the little brother was really sleepy, Shi Zhanyang asked him to take a bath first, and then go straight to sleep.The original clothes were too dirty, and I only bought a change of underwear at the 24-hour store just now, so Shi Zhanyang had to search in his closet.He found a soft white shirt, put it at the end of the bed, and sent a message to a boy, asking him to bring the clothes in the morning.

Then he put down his cell phone and took out a novel from under his pillow to read. "The Great GATSBY", a very classic book, is also very thin. I don't know why it was omitted from the book list when I was a child.

The corners of the pages are more than half of the place. The last time I read it was before Shi Zhanyang went to Saudi Arabia, the desert under the blue sky, the glass city in the oasis, and the lonely afternoon. Talking on the sunbath, think about it, it was half a month ago.At that time, he was at a loss, and he made several preparations, but the last one was useless.

Useless is a good thing.Shi Zhanyang was very fortunate that there were no extra problems, he signed the deal quickly, and rushed back before Qiu Shili's birthday.

The sound of the shower is indistinct, making the night even quieter. Shi Zhanyang sees ten things at a glance, and the plots of adultery are described beautifully and meticulously, full of supercilious despair.To be honest, he couldn't understand Gatsby's obsessive love for Daisy. He saw all the stupidity of this shrewd man, but he seemed a little envious. This inexplicable emotion was annoying, and he I want to smoke.

Suddenly there was a "boom" in the bathroom.

Shi Zhanyang put down the cigar cutter, "ナナ?"

"...I fell down." Qiu Shili's voice was muffled, and he could hear him trying to speak clearly, "I drank too much."

"Are you injured?" Shi Zhanyang stood at the door, and the sound of splashing water got closer.If Qiu Shili was five years younger, he would just push the door open and go in. In the early years, they often took a dirty bath together after running wildly, fighting, and rolling together. Water was splashed on him, and he pretended to be absent-minded again and again, waiting to be splashed.But right now, it's not feasible.It was as if something had disappeared between them and something had grown again.

Maybe it's the height. Although Qiu Shili is worried about the height of 169, for Shi Zhanyang, this is enough to prove growth and irreversible growth.

"Nana, are you okay?" He asked again.

"I'm fine," Qiu Shili finally replied, "I've stood up and come out right away."

Shi Zhanyang couldn't laugh or cry, it seemed that the fall was not light, he shouldn't have let a 15-year-old kid drink so much alcohol before, but now that his stamina has improved, he can't do anything.

He sat back on the bed and continued to glance at those blatant words. With a "click", the bathroom door opened, and warm and humid air drifted in. Qiu Shili asked behind him, "Can I wear this?"

"Well, it's for you." Shi Zhanyang didn't look back.He thought, should he check where the injury is?Think about it again, boys don't need to be so delicate, let alone my younger brother who climbs trees on walls every day.

Qiu Shili looked very happy, "Hey, it's too big. This material is so comfortable." Once drunk, his tongue stuttered, and even his voice was light. He seemed to be buttoning his buttons, or rubbing his hair. Afterwards he climbed onto the bed, when Shi Zhanyang turned his face, he saw that the man was crawling under the quilt, lying curled up, with half-length hair scattered on the white pillow, "Go and wash." ,elder brother."

As if to reassure Shi Zhanyang, Qiu Shili obediently tucked himself in the quilt, and obediently closed his eyes.

Shi Zhanyang thought, isn't it hot?

"Good night." He said softly, put down the book, lowered the temperature of the air conditioner by two degrees, and took his pajamas into the bathroom.

Blood stains are difficult to clean. Shi Zhanyang feels that the more he washes, the dirtier he gets. The foam washes down, and after rinsing again, his skin turns red, and the sticky feeling still seems to be there.He understands that this is an illusion, a symptom that can be overcome with will and habit. He has been under the illusion for many years, and it is not much, so he is not too slow to wash.

Ten minutes later, Shi Zhanyang came out of the bathroom fully dressed.

I didn't blow my hair, it was too noisy.

Qiu Shili seemed to have indeed fallen asleep, lying on his stomach, as if he was too hot, with his legs stretched out from under the quilt, and they were still far apart, which took up more than half of the bed.Shi Zhanyang was indeed sleepy as hell, thought about it worriedly, held his ankle, and carefully moved him to the side.

It was much lighter than expected, and the ankle was so thin that it could break if it was folded.Shi Zhanyang thought that he had a good sense of the weight of the human body, maybe he should let Qiu Shili eat more meat.

Qiu Shili woke up immediately, rubbed his eyes in a daze, shrank his legs under the quilt, "Brother?"

"Go to sleep, ナナ, it's already three o'clock." Shi Zhanyang turned off the bedside lamp, lifted a bit of the quilt, and lay down by himself, he felt that he could start dreaming when he closed his eyes.

"I forgot to pray." Qiu Shili turned sideways and got closer.

"The Lord will forgive you." In fact, Shi Zhanyang hadn't cared about praying before going to bed for a long time, and he rarely even went to church. To be honest, he thought it was a matter of his father taking him to be baptized when he was still a baby. Ridiculous thing.

He is doomed not to be a qualified believer.

Whether it is appropriate or not is not his own choice.

"Okay," Qiu Shili lowered his voice, and immediately became excited again, "Four years! Four years and three months."

"What four years?"

Qiu Shili leaned his head on Shi Zhanyang's shoulder, "The last time we slept together, it was four years ago, in February, during the Spring Festival, in a tent."

Shi Zhanyang couldn't help laughing, he almost didn't have much memory of this matter, it was probably a whim at the time, it was cold, he pitched a tent in the courtyard and insisted on keeping watch inside, of course Qiu Shili would Then squeeze in.

Unexpectedly, his younger brother, who is drunk now, can still remember the days so clearly.

"I thought you would find me annoying," Shi Zhanyang said with a smile, "Don't adolescents like to sleep alone?"

Qiu Shili was quiet for a long time, "I don't know, sometimes I like it, sometimes I don't." His breathing became short, and the forehead touching Shi Zhanyang's shoulder was also inseparable, "Brother, you... Can you give me a hug?"

Shi Zhanyang was stunned for a moment, pondering the cause and effect, and suddenly realized that too much blood was shed today, human blood, accompanied by human screams.This was something Qiu Shili had never seen before.

Some personal experiences flooded Shi Zhanyang's mind. One day, he might have hoped that he could be hugged by a trusted elder and sleep overnight, and someone would whisper in his ear, you are safe, it's not your fault.

Have you ever looked forward to it?Can not remember.

"I'm sorry, Nana," he raised his hand to touch Qiu Shili's half-dried hair in the dark, "Brother is not ready today."

"No, why are you apologizing again?" Qiu Shili was very persistent, buried his face deeply, and asked word by word, "I mean, can you hug me to sleep?"

Shi Zhanyang still hesitated, this hesitation made him feel puzzled, but in the end he opened his arms, turned sideways, hugged Qiu Shili hard, and then circled so vaguely, letting Qiu Shili pillow on himself On the big arm, "I won't have nightmares, my brother is here."

Qiu Shili finally fell asleep.

He didn't sleep soundly, he still kicked around, and then he put a leg on Shi Zhanyang's thigh, as if he had found a support, and then he became quieter.Shi Zhanyang had already lost all sleepiness. He guessed that Qiu Shili was indeed dreaming, and he hoped it was good, such as crossing the African grasslands in a hot air balloon, seeing his own reflection, rushing rivers and wildebeests.

Shi Zhanyang tried to hypnotize himself by imagining dreams. He thought that he was the balloon, carrying the laughing little brother, floating into the sky.But soon he couldn't go on hypnosis because Qiu Shili started talking in his sleep.

There is only one content, "Brother, brother, brother-up-brother." He called intermittently.The yells were urgent and low, and some of them even had a murmuring cry.

It seems that it is not a dream of a wildebeest.

Shi Zhanyang was not feeling very well. He was suddenly fed up with all of this. The family home tens of kilometers away, the several military factories scattered hundreds of kilometers away, and the endless business and calculation.He may have been innocent at first, but now he is so guilty, and he is spreading this seemingly helpless crime to another piece of innocence.

"Okay, okay." Shi Zhanyang said in a deep voice, hugging the one in his arms even tighter, Qiu Shili seemed to feel it, and gropingly put his hands around his neck, the whole person is small, just like that Huddled in this stiff embrace.

Shi Zhanyang's chin was rubbed against something, and the wet breath hit it, it should be the tip of the nose, and then something soft fell on the side of Shi Zhanyang's neck, it was the lip, the patch under the Adam's apple The skin...that's the cheeks.

Qiu Shili didn't move and stopped talking in his sleep.Even breathing becomes calm.

Shi Zhanyang was blank. It's not that he has no experience in holding people in his arms to sleep. He has also touched women's lips, which are bright red and delicate. When those lips opened and closed, hot and naked love words flowed out. Laughing, kissing and hugging them, spending the rare leisure time with ease, and talking about love easily.

In his life, he actually didn't have much spare energy for love, but it wasn't completely empty. He had sweated profusely and made gossip, but Shi Zhanyang only spent this time in vain.

Only this time.

why?

Because of my brother's lips?cheek?A trembling in an embrace?

Because of sleep talk?Vulnerability in dreams?

Because of wine?

Or is it because of... that heavy, straightforward, whole-hearted dependence?

Shi Zhanyang thinks he is unreasonable. He is not a hero, and he has no intention of discussing some aspects of human nature. He firmly believes that the simpler the interpersonal relationship, the better.At this moment, he was almost at a loss, so he insisted on not moving. After waiting for more than half an hour, Qiu Shili seemed to be completely asleep, so he put him on the pillow very lightly and slowly, and slowly pulled away. And out, go to the bathroom, turn on the tap.

"God..." Shi Zhanyang splashed cold water on his face several times, but didn't wipe it off, staring at himself dripping water in the mirror.

Have you been too idle lately, or have you finally gone crazy.He silently asked this man with black eyes and red eyes.

You can be crazy, don't spoil others.He warned again.Your friends, your relatives, your 15-year-old cousin, are you going to hurt him?

After clearing up his thoughts, Shi Zhanyang thought that he had completely calmed down, so he returned to the bedroom.He didn't go to bed again, just found a blanket and sat on the sofa, preparing to survive the night.However, when his eyes got used to the darkness again, he realized that Qiu Shili had sat up leaning against the head of the bed.

This is also helpless, since childhood training has made it difficult for people like them to sleep deeply, and sensitivity to wind and grass is a must.Shi Zhanyang knows best.

"Woke you up?" he asked.

"Where are we going to play tomorrow?" Qiu Shili asked back.

"Go to the beach, there is a piece of white, it is very beautiful," Shi Zhanyang said dryly, "or we can drive to Santa Monica, we can pass through the desert."

"I want to go to the movies. Eat pizza." Qiu Shili hugged his knees.

"Okay. Let's watch two shows. There are a lot of blockbuster movies recently."

"After watching the movie, will my brother go home and live?"

"Of course," Shi Zhanyang smiled, "I haven't been home for such a long time, my mother already wants to pick my skin off."

"I was wondering," Qiu Shili paused, then said slowly, "You always stay outside, maybe you have a family outside... and your mother always said that you started a career too early, you should start a family gone."

Shi Zhanyang saw a pair of eyes clearly in the dark. He looked at them and said seriously, "I'm working. I don't plan to start a family, ナナ, look at Dad now, don't you think it's troublesome to take care of the family? "

It took Qiu Shili a few seconds to understand what he said. The smell of alcohol was still on his face. He had a headache and his thoughts were messed up, but he laughed happily, "Then you don't have a girlfriend? He also said that you want to introduce me , Brother, are you a workaholic, you are miserable."

"Yes." Shi Zhanyang said.

Qiu Shili was taken aback for a moment before saying, "But you didn't bring it home and showed it to us."

"Haha, it's not that far yet."

"Then what about her...now?"

"Dead. Passed away."

Qiu Shili shut his mouth in panic.

Shi Zhanyang suddenly had the idea to confide, he didn't want to use wine as an excuse, but he really couldn't explain it, he was even out of his mind tonight.

"I haven't told anyone." He lowered his eyes and smiled, "Nana, do you want to hear it?"

"...you tell me." Qiu Shili pulled the quilt up.

"Actually, it's very simple. She is Chinese, and she is also on the road. She has cooperated with us. I didn't know her real name until the end. She must be older than me. I was 20 years old," Shi Zhanyang was very calm, "I was too busy and didn't meet much. This relationship lasted less than a year. She died in Russia. After more than a month, I learned the news, so I broke it off."

"You are very sad." Qiu Shili forcefully dug his nails into the tiger's mouth.He tried hard to recall Zhan Yang's depression period when he was around 20 years old, but he couldn't think of any signs.

"It's okay," Shi Zhanyang recalled, "However, later I knew that she had lied to me a lot and plotted against me a lot. At that time, I was more sad. I can only blame myself for being too stupid, and I can't care about dead people." What, so just forget it, love is just too small a part of life."

He looked very heartless, as if he was analyzing a simple fraud. Qiu Shili felt a sense of sadness, but at the same time, there was also a sense of ecstasy. Indeed, he couldn't care less about the dead. The strangeness he had just felt towards that woman just now The feeling also dissipated.

"I won't tell anyone." He swore, throwing up his hands.

Shi Zhanyang was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly smiled sincerely, "Okay. This is our secret."

"En!" Qiu Shili nodded sharply, "Come on, lie down and sleep." He consciously gave up half of the bed.

Shi Zhanyang's scalp was a little tight. To be honest, he felt that he would sleep more relaxed sitting up, but he couldn't explain anything to Qiu Shili, "It's very hot to sleep in your arms." He sat on the edge of the bed.

"Then stop hugging. I promise not to move around." In order to show his determination, Qiu Shili continued to move to the side.

Shi Zhanyang was a little afraid that he would get dizzy and roll under the bed, so he immediately went to bed and lay down, showing a bit of elder brother's majesty, "Okay, sleep well."

"Good night." Qiu Shili closed his eyes seriously.

In the later night, he did keep his promise and stopped kicking and rolling around, and Shi Zhanyang couldn't tell whether he was asleep or not.When his drowsiness hit, Shi Zhanyang glanced across the curtains, and a faint blue light had penetrated in, and it was almost dawn.
