strong romance

When Cheng Kuang went up the stairs, his back was still slightly hunched, just like he was walking on the wet road with Grandma Cheng on his back that night.Right now his back was empty, but the weight of that night was with him, and he couldn't take it off.

After returning to the second floor, Cheng Kuang took off his crumpled coat, went to the bathroom and washed his face.Cold water was running down his face like rain, the bathroom lights were not turned on, and the surroundings were as damp and dark as last night. Cheng Kuang didn't sleep all night, and the belated fatigue climbed up his eyelids, and he could hardly tell where he was when he closed his eyes.

Grandma Cheng's house had a power outage all night, and Cheng Kuang stared at the flickering candle, spending the whole night in superstition.Cheng Youde's poisonous snake wife peeped into the house, and said in a spirited way, when the candles are extinguished, the person is gone.

Grandma Cheng's strenuous snoring made Cheng Youde suspect that she wouldn't be able to survive tonight. At this time, he remembered that he was the boss of the family, and also remembered his status as a dutiful son, so he planned to stay overnight at Grandma Cheng's bedside.

He temporarily forgot the grievances with Cheng Kuang, and said regardless of the past: "You go back to school and study, I will guard here."

Cheng Kuang didn't respond to him.

With the magnanimous attitude of an elder, Cheng Youde didn't bother with this ignorant boy. He brought a cup of tea and put it on the table, and then sat down on the armchair next to the bed.

The candlelight flickered on Grandma Cheng's face. Cheng Youde looked at it for a while, and he was sure that Grandma Cheng would wake up for a while and confess the secrets in the coffin in a voice the size of a mosquito, before she let go.

He was waiting for this moment to come.

The sound of rain dragged on the night, Cheng Youde waited impatiently, and brought the tea on the table to drink.He prepared this cup of tea for Grandma Cheng with the heart of a dutiful son, and now it has returned to the stomach of a dutiful son.

After drinking his tea, he sat upright and waited for a while. Grandma Cheng didn't show any signs of opening her eyes. Cheng Youde was exhausted physically and mentally from waiting, and fell asleep with his head up. After Grandma Cheng's snoring stopped, his snoring sounded again. up.

Cheng Kuang closed the window tightly, and found another candle from the drawer as a spare. Cheng Youde’s wife’s unfounded words and Grandma Cheng’s “fate” were like sneaking ghosts, and his guard against them made him tense all the time. Nervous.

The flame of the candle burned in Cheng Kuang's eyes all night, and when the skylight was shining through the curtains, Cheng Youde's wife's words finally burned into a wisp of white smoke on the wick.

Grandma Cheng survived this tormenting night. Cheng Youde woke up from a doze, and was shocked to find that his old lady was already awake, and she didn't seem to be dying as he expected. of water.

When Grandma Cheng opened her mouth to speak, Cheng Youde's other hope also came to nothing - it was impossible for Grandma Cheng to tell him the secrets in the coffin, to be precise, even if she did, no one would understand.

His elderly mother seemed to be a little demented, she suddenly lived back to the age of a baby learning to speak, and Cheng Youde could no longer hear a word from her mouth.

Grandma Cheng, who can't speak human language, talked more than before. After she woke up, she held Cheng Kuang's hand and babbled non-stop. Guess what Grandma Cheng wants to say.Later, he found out that Grandma Cheng didn't need him to answer anything, so he raised the corners of his mouth and smiled at Grandma Cheng, and Grandma Cheng would squint her eyes and laugh along with her.

The son had discussed everything about his funeral, but instead of dying, the old lady had become a lingering burden.She lost the ability to work and live independently, and her daily life could not be separated from the care of others. Cheng Youde was very disappointed. He no longer looked at his old mother with the eyes of a filial son, but looked at this aging trouble with eyes that look at old age.

Cheng Youde's poisonous snake wife said: "Call the second and third."

This time Cheng Youde did not disobey his wife's order, he once again assumed the posture of the eldest brother, and called the two younger brothers together, and they began to discuss how to serve the old mother.

At this time, the three brothers who were separated from each other showed an unparalleled blood relationship, and they calculated each other by coincidence.

Cheng Youde, who is idle, plans his busy future, thinking that his brother Cheng Youyi, who is also idle, should shoulder the responsibility of taking care of the old mother, while Cheng Youyi talks about the booming business of the restaurant, accusing his elder brother of looking for trouble.

Cheng Youliang was the only one with a formal job among the three. He thought he could stay out of the matter, but he didn't expect to be defeated by his wife.The eldest brother Cheng and the third child were tired of arguing, and at the same time thought of the second child Cheng. Although he had a job, his wife did not.

After a fierce quarrel, the three brothers finally reached a consensus - starting with the eldest, each of them took turns taking care of Grandma Cheng for a month.

So far, Grandma Cheng seems to have settled down in her old age.

After taking a shower, Cheng Kuang came out of the bathroom covered in steam, and when he walked to the door of the bedroom, he was a little surprised when he saw the people in the room. The sound of the shower water covered the sound of the door opening and footsteps. He didn't know when Zhang Jin came in of.

But the momentary astonishment disappeared in the blink of an eye, and Cheng Kuang was not surprised by Zhang Jin's arrival.

On the most difficult night, he looked at the faint fire and thought about Zhang Jin, and the madness in his flesh and blood stalked him from time to time, making him want to hug this person several times to vent fiercely—but he just wanted to.

The habit of self-torture developed in childhood has been deeply ingrained, Cheng Kuang let this idea come rushing to the shore like a storm, and was beaten back by the flesh and blood, firmly imprisoned in his chest.

Seeing Zhang Jin really is different from thinking about him, Cheng Kuang was stunned for a moment, met his eyes in the dark, and didn't know what to say.

"you……"

"Cheng Kuang, fuck me, your uncle!"

As soon as Cheng Kuang opened his mouth, he was interrupted.Before the exam in the morning, Zhang Jin deliberately went to the first exam room, but the bastard didn't take the exam at all.Zhang Jin's intuition told him that something must have happened to Cheng Kuang, but he had no way of knowing what it was, so he could only worry aimlessly.

The worry that lasted for a whole day made him extremely irritable, and he couldn't help swearing at Cheng Kuang as soon as they met, and he really wanted to beat Cheng Kuang up.

"Stand still! Come again and I'll whip you!"

Zhang Jin clenched his fists, his internal organs seemed to be locked in a furnace, he had to grit his teeth to restrain the hostility all over his body, the sore and frustrated sense of frustration that kept pouring out of his heart made him hate the person in front of him.

He knew very well that Cheng Kuang was a boring gourd with a sawn mouth, and it was as difficult as heaven to get him to utter a little bit of his fragile sincerity. He probably wouldn't learn to show weakness to others if he wasn't forced to.

But Zhang Jin insisted on him showing weakness, and insisted on smashing his airtight shell.

He attacked Cheng Kuang with possibly the most vicious tone in his life, every word pierced his chest like a thorn, and then stabbed bloody at Cheng Kuang: "How capable are you, what's the matter with you?" Can't carry it alone? Even if you get beaten up like a bear, you'll be fine, no one needs to worry about it!"

"...It's so easy to be your boyfriend. You don't have to worry about anything. Life is like soaking in honey. It's sweet for you whether you're happy or not. One day you'll never come back, and I'll be with you Like a fool, carefree, looking forward to you. Where do you want me to summon your soul? Do you want me to show you a lying track, Cheng Shisankuang!"

At the end of these words, Zhang Jin could hardly suppress his anger, and his strong emotions almost overwhelmed his rationality, causing him to roar out recklessly.

"I don't care about you until I'm in a hurry!"

Cheng Kuang was a little confused by Zhang Jin's stimulation at first, he didn't know that Zhang Jin would be so angry at first.He thought Zhang Jin was angry because he lied, but only then did he realize it wasn't.

He suddenly remembered that distant New Year's Eve, the hand that Zhang Jin reached into his quilt to hold, and the phrase "I will cover you".

Zhang Jin said he would beat him when he came again, but Cheng Kuang didn't listen, and Zhang Jin himself seemed to have forgotten.

When Cheng Kuang walked towards him, he stood there motionless, and when Cheng Kuang walked in front of him, he couldn't bear to make a move.

Zhang Jin hugged Cheng Kuang, and bit Cheng Kuang's shoulder hard through the thin shirt.Cheng Kuang didn't dodge, and called out "Brother Pao" in a tight voice.

After a while, Zhang Jin let go, and Cheng Kuang heard him say to himself in a hoarse voice: "Kuang'er, I know you can carry it, but it's hard for you to squeak, there is me. Don't turn a blind eye to your brother Pao, okay ?"

Cheng Kuang turned his face away, kissed Zhang Jin's ear, and said, "Grandma had an accident, and she almost didn't make it through last night...it's fine now, don't worry."

He carried the long night, the restlessness, the torment, with a few short sentences, while deluding himself of the weight on his back.

Zhang Jin was fed the sweet one again, and the bitter part was brought into the dream by Cheng Kuang.

After a long time, Zhang Jin finally squeezed into the narrow single bed with Cheng Kuang again, and soon fell asleep.From that night on, Cheng Kuang felt the weight on his back getting heavier day by day.

After the one-mode exam, Shi Tao called Cheng Kuang to the office for a conversation.

He still remembers that not long after he became the head teacher of Class [-], Cheng Kuang missed one of the mid-term exams, and the final score surprised all the teachers in the office.

At that time, Shi Tao felt that this male classmate was a material for studying, and his future was limitless.

Later, Cheng Kuang's performance confirmed his judgment.Cheng Kuang is in the parallel class, but he ranks among the top ten in every test, even in the experimental class—this is only the first semester of the second year of high school.The most rare thing is his quality of neither arrogance nor impetuosity. Shi Tao has seen many talented students, but there are too few who can calm down and calm down.

Ever since Cheng Kuang gave up the opportunity to go to the experimental class and chose to stay in Class Seven, he knew that this student was different.Shi Tao himself does not think that changing shifts is a good and harmless thing. Leaving an already familiar group and being distracted by high-intensity learning to adapt to a new group is actually a very risky thing.

After entering the third year of high school, Cheng Kuang gave Shi Tao many surprises.He found that this student was able to stabilize his grades at a top-notch height, and still climb up with all his strength.

This one-model exam is the exam that Shi Tao valued most before the college entrance examination. The teachers of Class Seven gathered together to discuss it, and they all had high expectations for Cheng Kuang. The students in the key class of the attached middle school competed.

——Who knew Cheng Kuang was absent from both exams.

But this is not the whole reason why Shi Tao brought Cheng Kuang to talk.The results have not been announced to the students yet, and Shi Tao has already seen the ranking table. Leaving aside the missing Chinese and mathematics, Cheng Kuang's science and English skills have dropped significantly.

He guessed that the reason for the decline in grades was related to the reason for missing the exam this time, but Cheng Kuang didn't elaborate, he just told him that something happened at home.Zhang Jin forced nothing out of Cheng Kuang's mouth like that, and Shi Tao couldn't know it in the end.

The only thing he could see was that Cheng Kuang's condition had deteriorated. This student he was particularly optimistic about was going downhill due to some unknown reasons.
