Long-awaited

Cheng Lin thought Cheng Yihe was just taking him for a casual walk around the village, but he dragged him onto the bus bound for Donglin.

Through the car window, looking at the desolate winter scenery that kept flowing past, Cheng Lin was at a loss, turned around and asked, "Brother, what are we going to do in the city?"

Cheng Yihe had slender legs, and it seemed uncomfortable to sit on the seat. He changed several positions, and finally put his palms behind his head, and said, "It's almost Chinese New Year, let's buy new year's goods."

Cheng Lin said: "Did the aunt let you buy it? It's still a long time, why are you in such a hurry? Then when will we come back? Dad is still at home alone."

Cheng Yihe pinched Cheng Lin's thin lips unbearably, and said, "Why are you so wordy? Can you just shut up? I've already asked, your mother will be back this afternoon, don't worry about it."

Cheng Lin's mouth was still twisted by Cheng Yihe, and he couldn't speak clearly, and said vaguely: "...uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu..."

But after the two got off the car, Cheng Yihe took Cheng Lin straight to the busiest commercial street in the city.

After walking around for a long time, Cheng Lin saw that Cheng Yihe was always gesturing at him with clothes, and finally realized that Cheng Yihe wanted to buy clothes for him, Cheng Lin said: "Brother, I have enough clothes to wear, so I don't need to buy them."

Seeing Cheng Lin's nervous appearance, Cheng Yihe laughed in his heart, but deliberately calmed down, and said, "You're not happy when I buy you clothes."

Cheng Lin hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no!" It was too big, and it hit the shoulder of the person next to him. He was stared at, and Cheng Lin was even more at a loss.

Cheng Yihe didn't like a good one here, so he immediately pulled Cheng Lin out and said, "I'm going to buy it anyway. It's your business if you don't want to wear it."

Cheng Lin wondered: "Then... you can buy it for the second brother."

Cheng Yihe said: "That little bastard can't finish his clothes every day, so I don't care about him."

Cheng Lin said with a bitter face: "But the aunt will be unhappy if she finds out."

Cheng Yihe wondered: "I spend my own money. Why is she not happy?"

Cheng Lin blinked his eyes and asked, "Where did you get the money?"

Cheng Yihe said: "I have a scholarship."

Cheng Lin said: "Brother, you are so amazing."

Cheng Yihe snorted: "Really?"

Cheng Lin nodded like a chick pecking rice, his eyes sparkled, Cheng Yihe held Cheng Lin's shoulders, and rubbed his head, his admiration for Cheng Lin was very beneficial.

Cheng Lin thought that it would be enough to just buy a cheap one, which won the favor of the eldest brother without costing him money.But Cheng Yihe insisted on changing him from top to bottom.As for whether there are new clothes to wear, Cheng Lin doesn't care. Anyway, he is used to wearing a piece of clothing that is too short to wear, and then he will change it for a new one.

What Cheng Lin enjoys more is the feeling of happiness walking with Cheng Yihe. Cheng Yihe will always hold his shoulders or hold his hand. The intimate physical contact seems to make the skin full of water. Cheng Lin can keep it for a long time Such a satisfying feeling of fullness.

At this moment, walking side by side with Cheng Yihe on the way home, Cheng Lin's excited mind finally calmed down. He rubbed against Cheng Yihe, and he would not go on the nervous road, and whispered: "Brother..."

Cheng Yihe said: "What's wrong?"

Cheng Lin wrinkled his face, "I...I dare not go home."

Cheng Yihe knew that he was afraid of being taught by Zhang Junyan, and said, "Why didn't you dare? Did you steal it?"

Only then did Cheng Lin tell the truth: "I'm so afraid of my mother."

Cheng Yihe said: "What are you afraid of her doing?"

Cheng Lin muttered for a while, but couldn't say a word.

Cheng Yihe patted Cheng Lin's head and comforted him: "It's okay, am I taking you home?"

When the two entered the door, it was already dark, and Zhang Junyan came back. The moment Cheng Lin saw her, Cheng Lin immediately tightened his grip on Cheng Yihe's clothes, and lowered his head.

The two were close together, Cheng Yihe naturally noticed it, and patted Cheng Lin's back comfortingly.

Zhang Junyan was washing the dishes, and said, "I thought you wouldn't come back, so I'll make you some more?"

Cheng Yihe thought, if he hadn't sent it back, maybe Cheng Lin wouldn't even be able to eat?Cheng Lin didn't dare to nod casually at this moment.Cheng Yihe responded, "Okay."

Cheng Lin also knew that Cheng Yihe seldom ate at their house, and knew that this time it was for him, so there was a rush of heat in his heart. He didn't want Cheng Yihe to be in trouble, and wanted him to go home, but he held Cheng Yihe's clothes, and couldn't tell him what to do. If you leave early. .

Cheng Yihe has already generously pulled Cheng Lin to Zhang Junyan, and said as if asking for credit: "Second Aunt, look, I bought Cheng Lin a new dress, does it look good?"

Zhang Junyan took a perfunctory look and said, "It looks good."

Cheng Yihe said: "It's just that I don't know what size Cheng Jin wears. I'll buy it for him tomorrow."

Why did Zhang Junyan have the nerve to agree, saying: "No, no, Cheng Jin's clothes are enough, so you don't need to buy them for him."

It's not that Cheng Yihe doesn't like Cheng Jin, after all, he's his younger brother, but he just can't understand Zhang Junyan's favoritism, so he smiled and stopped talking.

Cheng Yihe was worried about going back, and his mother said that he was not doing his job properly, so he bought some beautifully packaged cooked meat and nutritional products in the afternoon, picked out one and left it in Cheng Rongyuan's house, and went home after dinner with Cheng Lin.

A few days ago, Cheng Yihe made an appointment with his high school classmates, and planned to bring all three younger brothers with him, but when he went to call Cheng Jin, Zhang Junyan said that he was still young, so he stayed at home .

Cheng Yixin is the happiest. He just entered the first year of high school this year, and it is the freshest time. He can play crazy with Cheng Yihe's classmates, and Cheng Lin obediently follows Cheng Yihe the whole time, almost inseparable.

At the end of the show, they were going to go home, but Cheng Yixin wanted to find his classmates, asked Cheng Yihe for money, and then ran away.

Now only Cheng Yihe and Cheng Lin were left.Cheng Yihe looked at his watch, it was only three o'clock in the afternoon, it was indeed still early, anyway, it would be fine to go back, so he took Cheng Lin to the playground in Donglin to play until dark, and managed to catch the last bus back home.

Cheng Yixin didn't find his classmates and got home early. Seeing that Cheng Yihe came back later than him, after asking, he found out that they had gone to the amusement park. He was immediately unhappy, and accused Cheng Yihe of not taking him with him, being biased!

Cheng Yihe got a headache from his quarrel and scolded Cheng Yixin before he stopped. However, the next day, Cheng Yihe took his two younger brothers to the playground for another day.

With Cheng Yihe around, Cheng Lin's daily life is to eat, drink, have fun with Cheng Yihe, and soon a lively year will pass.

Immediately afterwards, the matter of Cheng Lin's going to school was on Cheng Yihe's mind, and he asked his father several times,

"When are you going to talk about Cheng Lin?"

Cheng Rongjian said: "What are you in a hurry for? Even if your second aunt doesn't pay his tuition, I will send him to school too, so you don't need to worry about it."

The first time Cheng Rongjian was chased by his son, he couldn't help teasing him: "Didn't you get a scholarship? You can use it for your brother's tuition."

Cheng Yihe sneered twice, and shut up immediately. Although his scholarship amount was considerable, he had almost finished it a few years ago, and finally left 200 yuan, which he secretly gave to Cheng Lin as his new year's money. Cheng Yihe can now It's a pauper.

Cheng Rongjian understood when he saw his sudden smile, and naturally began to preach a few words, "When can you change your lavishness?" But when he thought about it carefully, he was spending his own scholarship, so it's hard to talk about it Before learning to make money, learn to spend it first, and Cheng Yihe never asked his family for more living expenses. Thinking of this, Cheng Rongjian smacked his lips and stopped talking.

About Cheng Lin, Cheng Yihe didn't know what his father told Zhang Junyan later, but she didn't mention Cheng Lin's withdrawal from school.

After entering the sophomore year, Cheng Yihe's courses were more intensive, and he didn't have enough time to study every day, let alone have other extra energy to do other things, so he quit the club altogether.

However, because the freshman laid the foundation, he became familiar with many teachers. A professor who taught them economic law loved him very much. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would bring Cheng Yihe and two other classmates to his office to help, although The rest time after school has been greatly reduced, but for Cheng Yihe, getting in touch with the society in advance is also a rare experience.

For Cheng Yihe, what he wants is exactly this kind of peaceful life.

But in the eyes of others, his life is as tragic as an ascetic.After all, his various conditions are placed there, which is very attractive.So whether there is anyone around him has been silently watched by caring people.It was probably the subtle intuition among people of the same kind. After discovering his slight abnormality, it ignited the originally extinguished expectations.

Every year, Christmas is a day when couples must date. Cheng Yihe's day is just the opposite. He is probably the most idle person.Originally, I planned to have dinner casually, but unexpectedly received a call from an elementary school boy. The two met in the club, and they didn't have a deep friendship seriously, but since they proposed to have dinner together, Cheng Yihe would not do it out of politeness. reject.

Just after hanging up the phone with his junior brother, Liu Jiayang pushed open the bedroom door and walked in. Seeing Cheng Yihe looking like he was about to go out, he was taken aback, and said, "Going on a date?"

Cheng Yihe laughed and said, "What's the date? It was Xiao Zheng who asked me for something."

"Xiao Zheng?" Liu Jiayang frowned, he had met Xiao Zheng a few times, he was a gentle and handsome boy, what would it be like to find Cheng Yihe on this special festival?Alarm bells rang in my heart.

Seeing that Liu Jiayang was alone, Cheng Yihe said, "How about we go together?"

Liu Jiayang was waiting for his words, and they went to the agreed place together.

Xiao Zheng had been waiting there for a long time. When he saw Liu Jiayang coming together, his eyes widened slightly. He was very surprised, but he didn't say much. After saying hello with a smile, the three of them went to eat together.

After dinner, the three of them took a walk along the gravel path by the lake. From time to time, they would meet a couple of tender and affectionate couples. The three of them walked together, which seemed awkward.

After chatting and walking around for a couple of times, Cheng Yihe felt that Xiao Zheng seemed to have something to say today but didn't say anything, so he took the initiative to ask, "Is there anything else important that you came to me today?"

Xiao Zheng glanced at Liu Jiayang first, smiling and shaking his head, "It's nothing, I just want to have a meal with the senior."

At this time, Liu Jiayang didn't know whether it was intentional or unintentional. He bumped into Xiao Zheng's shoulder and said, "Then do you have other dates? I see you are carrying an apple box. Is it for your girlfriend?"

Cheng Yihe also laughed and said, "That's right, Xiao Zheng, are you still going to see your girlfriend, don't waste time with us here."

Xiao Zheng muttered, "No, not a girlfriend."

As he said that, Xiao Zheng's face turned red, and he lowered his head slightly. His action immediately reminded Cheng Yihe of Cheng Lin.

Cheng Lin would do the same thing when he was shy, with his head hanging down, revealing only the back of his neck like white jade and the tips of his red ears.

For some reason, Cheng Yihe suddenly superimposed Cheng Lin's figure on Xiao Zheng's body, scratching like a kitten's paw in his heart.

He didn't think about what was going on with him for a while, so he didn't think about it any more, he stretched out his arm and hooked Xiao Zheng's neck, and said, "Why are you ashamed? Isn't it a good thing to have a girlfriend?"

Seeing this scene, Liu Jiayang's expression darkened.

Cheng Yihe was still asking: "So you are going to prepare to confess?"

Xiao Zheng's head drooped even deeper, and he said, "No, it's not, actually...Actually, this is for you, it's just..."

Cheng Yihe hadn't realized what Xiao Zheng meant so far, and said strangely: "For me? I'm a big man, it's useless if you send me off."

Xiao Zheng couldn't tell whether Cheng Yihe was pretending not to understand, or whether he didn't want to expose it. In short, Liu Jiayang's accident made today's great opportunity slip away for nothing. Yang will come too, I only prepared one, so I am sorry to give it away."

Cheng Yihe jokingly bumped into Liu Jiayang, "It's all your fault, I couldn't receive the apples."

Liu Jiayang smiled stiffly, not very obvious in the night.

Xiao Zheng immediately said: "I... I'll buy another one, one for each of you."

Cheng Yihe thought to himself, this kid is really serious, and said with a smile: "Okay, I'm the oldest, I'll go buy it, and wait for me here."

After Cheng Yihe said that, he ran away, Liu Jiayang and Xiao Zheng, who stayed where they were, suddenly had nothing to say, and stood silently in embarrassment.

Apples for Christmas are very expensive, Cheng Yihe didn't intend to be taken advantage of, he only bought two, and when he came back, each of them stuffed one, then took the apples he prepared from Xiao Zheng, and said: "Okay, now we don't lose anything. "

After Cheng Yihe came back, the embarrassing atmosphere between Xiao Zheng and Liu Jiayang eased a little, but Cheng Yihe said a few words, neither of them responded much, and Cheng Yihe realized that neither of them seemed to be very interested.Those who wanted to separate were free.

Just at this moment, his cell phone rang, Cheng Yihe took it out of his pocket and looked, it was the public phone number that Cheng Lin often used, he connected it immediately, and said: "Lin Lin."

Cheng Lin's clear voice came from the receiver, "Brother."

Xiao Zheng and Liu Jiayang were very close, and they also heard Cheng Lin's voice. The two subconsciously looked at each other, and then quickly separated.

Cheng Yihe unconsciously fell behind a few steps, and when he spoke to Cheng Lin, his tone was such a gentleness and patience that the other two people present had never seen before.

Xiao Zheng and Liu Jiayang walked forward side by side, feeling extremely embarrassed. They thought the phone call would end soon, but it had been almost half an hour, and Cheng Yihe was still talking enthusiastically.

In the end, Xiao Zheng couldn't bear the weird atmosphere, and said to Cheng Yihe: "I... I have something to do, I want to go first."

Cheng Yihe nodded and said, "Okay. See you next time." Then he continued talking to Cheng Lin.

Cheng Lin asked, "Brother, are you still outside?"

Cheng Yihe said: "That's right, I went for a walk after dinner."

Cheng Lin said: "It's cold outside, you should go back quickly."

Cheng Yihe beckoned to Liu Jiayang, and the two walked towards the dormitory together.

Cheng Yihe said: "Aren't you standing outside too?"

Cheng Lin said: "Yes, the public phone is just outside."

Cheng Yihe said: "I'll buy you a mobile phone next time I go back."

When Cheng Lin called, Cheng Yihe was already in his dormitory.This was the first time Liu Jiayang saw Cheng Yihe and Cheng Lin talking on the phone, and he vaguely heard a boy's soft voice occasionally coming out of the phone, which made Liu Jiayang's expression tense.

When he walked downstairs to the dormitory, Cheng Yihe waved at Liu Jiayang casually, pushed the door open and went in.

Liu Jiayang wanted to leave directly, but thinking of Cheng Yihe's unusually gentle expression, he finally couldn't bear it, pushed the door open and followed.

At this time the others were still outside, Cheng Yihe sat alone on the chair in the dormitory, saw Liu Jiayang angrily following him, and looked at him puzzled.

In the quiet room, Cheng Lin's voice on the phone became clearer, and Liu Jiayang said angrily, "I have something to tell you!"

Cheng Lin also heard his voice, "Brother, what's the matter?"

Cheng Yihe gave Liu Jiayang a dissatisfied look, turned his back, and said, "It's okay, just tell me, I'm listening."

Liu Jiayang's forehead was throbbing with anger.

Cheng Lin was worried that he would delay Cheng Yihe's business, so he said, "Then I'll call you in a few days, and go get busy if you have something to do."

Cheng Yihe saw that Liu Jiayang was making an inexplicable face again, and knew that he couldn't continue talking with Cheng Lin, so he said helplessly, "Well, go back to sleep early, you know?"

Waiting to hear the sound of Cheng Lin hanging up, Cheng Yihe pressed the hang up button.He frowned and said, "What's wrong with you? The mood has been abnormal since just now."

Liu Jiayang was on the verge of breaking out, and shouted: "Are I abnormal, or are you abnormal!?"

Cheng Yihe was very annoyed by his anger for no reason, and his tone was still restrained: "I didn't offend you, did I? I don't understand, why do you make faces at me all day long?"

Liu Jiayang's manic mood gradually calmed down. He took several deep breaths and said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, but my attitude is bad."

Cheng Yihe pursed his lips tightly, stared at him for a few seconds, turned around and picked up the book on the table, and said, "Go back and calm down by yourself."

Liu Jiayang stood stiffly on the spot for a long time, pulled a chair and sat beside Cheng Yihe, and said earnestly: "I know you are angry, but I must correct you about this matter."

Cheng Yihe frowned deeply, and said, "Correct what? What can I correct for you?"

Liu Jiayang said sincerely: "How can you associate with someone like Xiao Zheng? He will definitely kill you! If the school finds out that you are gay, will your future be ruined?!"

Before the words fell, Cheng Yihe stood up suddenly, and the chair made a sharp rattling sound at the same time, and he said in a deep voice: "What nonsense are you talking about? What homosexuality?!"

Liu Jiayang said: "Xiao Zheng led you into trouble, didn't he? Let me tell you, this is a disease that needs to be cured."

Cheng Yihe then slammed the book in his hand onto the table, his expression already very impatient.

Liu Jiayang thought he had caught the point, and persuaded him earnestly: "You don't have to deny it in front of me, what happened to Xiao Zheng? What happened to that little boy just now? Are you not dating or what are you doing? You wake up Wake up, okay!?"

Cheng Yihe was really angry in an instant. He knew what homosexuality was, and he also knew that this word was a dirty and unbearable existence in the eyes of others. It was just that he had a meal with Xiao Zheng, and Liu Jiayang misunderstood him like this, so forget it, but He can't tolerate other people slandering Cheng Lin!

Cheng Yihe said sharply: "Liu Jiayang, first, you have no right to control me. Second, the little boy you are talking about is my younger brother. I will not allow you to slander him like this! Listen? Get out of here Or don't blame me for beating you!"

Liu Jiayang thought that Cheng Yihe hadn't mentioned his family to him, and maybe he had misunderstood him. Thinking of this possibility, his face instantly turned pale, and he said, "I'm sorry, I don't know. I... I'm also doing it for your own good. hurry."

Cheng Yihe was expressionless, and his tone was unprecedentedly serious: "I don't care what you think, but don't say such things in the future, Xiao Zheng and I don't have the kind of relationship you think, if you make wild guesses, let me If you are embarrassing with Xiao Zheng, then you are not thinking of me at all, but are hurting me!"

Liu Jiayang hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean to harm you!"

Cheng Yihe said word by word: "Then please don't say such things in the future!"

Liu Jiayang deeply regretted that he couldn't hold his breath, which led to today's conflict. He understood that it would only make Cheng Yihe more angry, so he apologized and left sadly.

Cheng Yihe tossed and turned that night and suffered from insomnia again. Ever since he was questioned whether he was gay for the first time, he instinctively avoided the question after thinking to no avail. Unexpectedly, it was brought up again.

Could it be that in the eyes of others, he is already gay?He doesn't want to admit it, is he just deceiving himself?
