He was already confused and uncomfortable, but now that Jiang Yan repeated Jiang Wen's words like this, he felt that this person seemed to be watching a show, so he frowned vaguely while drinking the porridge, "Why don't you go to school..."

"I'm not—" Jiang Yan knew that he was ill and feeling ill, so he smiled silently. Unexpectedly, this action made his brows tighten even more.

Jiang Wen waved his hand and asked him to leave quickly: "You go to class, as long as mom takes care of my younger brother, go."

Jiang Yan stood by the bed and touched his nose: "Mom, where did you park your car?"

"Oh, don't tell me I forgot. I have to move the car to another place. I'll block the door when the door opens. Come on, come and take care of Xiao Kong's food first, and I'll move the car."

"Okay mom!"

Jiang Yan happily took the porridge and sat down beside the bed. After confirming that she had left the door, he leaned towards Xi Zhikong, and the two of them rubbed their foreheads against his lips, and said softly, "Hey, I'm going to class. Take the medicine and have a good rest, otherwise I will really take you for an injection."

Xi Zhikong held his breath in his throat and coughed violently twice: "Ahem! Why did you call Aunt Wen here!"

"Then I can't leave you alone at home, can I? You are—" Jiang Yan suddenly leaned into his ear, and said softly, "My little baby."

"..."

Xi Zhikong swallowed his saliva, picked up the porridge and took a big gulp, and after finally swallowing it, he stretched out his hand and pushed Jiang Yan, "I'll go to bed after taking the medicine, you go to class first, and tell Aunt Wen that you have something to do." Let her go, I'm much better now."

"My mother will definitely not leave, you are still burning. I will come after school, go to sleep."

Jiang Yan leaned over and kissed his forehead, and just as she got up to pack her schoolbag, Jiang Wen just came back, stood in the porch while slipping her shoes and said, "Okay, let's go, mom will take care of you here."

"Well, then I'm leaving - I'll be fine after taking the medicine and sleeping, brother is leaving." Jiang Yan waved at Xi Zhikong, seeing the man nod to him wearily, he agreed in a low voice.

It happened to be Chen Xucong's class when he arrived at school, and within 5 minutes of sitting down after typing the report, notes from all directions were thrown over him.

Without exception, they always asked what happened to Xi Zhikong.

After class, Lao Chen also asked again. He explained that he had a high fever, and Lao Chen also knew that Xi Zhikong's family was special, so he told him to leave.

Then Jiang Yan was surrounded by He Xing and others.

I don't know where this **** came from, a point of knowledge that shouldn't be touched by a straight man, he pulled Jiang Yan aside and looked around, and said seriously: "Jiang Yan, Xi Zhikong is not yet an adult. , take it easy!"

Jiang Yan reacted for a while, and almost hit his life when he raised his knee, He Xing quickly took a breath and jumped away covering his crotch, "What are you doing! Did I hit the mark!"

"To shut up!"

He wanted to eat it, but the point is——

Shu Jiyue didn't know when she passed by them silently and stopped, as if she heard the hesitation in his heart, she said to him with the appearance of someone who came here: "Brother, I heard that it won't be long It's your and Xi Zhikong's 17th birthday, so according to He Xing's traditional saying, you have to hold back for another year."

Do you need to remind me?

Jiang Yan cut off the conversation by himself, wanting to hit the few people in front of him on the ground, gritted his teeth and swallowed the regret and anger in his heart.

He Xing stopped, and Shu Jiyue started to play again: "But brother, if you think so, sometimes—"

"I know, I understand." Jiang Yan stopped him in time, turned around and walked towards the door of the classroom. The next words might be too direct, and Shu Jiyue couldn't chase after him.

Sun Chenxuan leaned on the guardrail and put his elbows on Jiang Zhehui's shoulders, frowning and asked curiously: "This boy and the boy..."

"You want to know?" Jiang Zhehui pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, walked a few steps forward, and turned back to Sun Chenxuan and said, "I don't think you want to know."

"why?"

"Because - because Shu Jiyue is right."

When the class bell rang, Sun Chenxuan didn't remember what Shu Jiyue said, and kept frowning and returned to his seat, pestering Jiang Zhehui desperately to ask what Shu Jiyue said about him.

Taking advantage of the teacher's absence, Jiang Zhehui bowed his head and sent him a link, telling him to go home and lock the door before opening it.

Sun Chenxuan had never been so obedient before, he nodded obediently, and put his phone back in his schoolbag.

The bell for the last class in the morning just rang, and the teacher had already packed up and ran to the podium before he left the door.He almost ran home along the way, panting and standing at the door with a key to open the door, Xi Zhikong just lifted the quilt and got out of bed to eat.

Jiang Wen set the table and chopsticks and asked him, "Why are you back?"

"What about me, am I afraid that you will be too busy alone..." Jiang Yan put the key in his pocket, made up an excuse, sat down at the table and asked Xi Zhikong to sit next to him.

"I brought you up by myself, and Xiaokong is much easier than you to take care of me, can I be too busy?" Jiang Wen glanced at him, "I found that you have nothing in the refrigerator, you can't always order takeout, it will be later I'll go buy some noodles for you and make some minced meat. I usually have nothing to cook and eat. You will start studying in the evening next semester, and you will have lunch and dinner in the cafeteria from now on. I will recharge your meal cards when the time comes."

Jiang Yan was like enlightenment—why didn't he think of it before, he could start with refilling his meal card, and if he had something to do, he could swipe his meal card with Xi Zhikong, wouldn't it be enough to charge all the money into his meal card?Anyway, at that time, the habitual long-term "hand slipping" will charge a few hundred more.

He clapped his hands and agreed, "Okay, mom, our cafeteria is actually not bad."

As soon as Xi Zhikong opened his mouth to refuse, Jiang Wen suddenly had a good understanding with Jiang Yan. She hurriedly put vegetables in Xi Zhikong's bowl, and then put vegetables in Jiang Yan's bowl, and said while filling the soup: "Well, I will go too You have eaten in the cafeteria, it’s pretty good, but no matter where you eat, Xiao Kong must eat more, some of you boys can grow to be 20 years old, Xiao Kong strives to grow taller than your brother Yan!"

Brother Ah Yan's words are like a switch, and he felt a little embarrassed when he heard this address Xi Zhikong. He could only eat the food seriously and then kept nodding his head to thank Jiang Wen for his concern.

After dinner, Jiang Yan helped put away the bowls, and when Xi Zhikong went to the toilet, he stood by the door and guarded him. When Xi Zhikong finished using the toilet and opened the door, he was so frightened that he took two steps back and almost fell back .

Jiang Yan stretched out his hand to give him a hand, and said with a smile, "Kong Kong, be careful."

Seeing his malicious smile, Xi Zhikong patted his rolled-up sleeves: "What are you doing at the door... to scare me."

Jiang Yan glanced back, and asked him in a low voice: "Did you find that my mother likes you very much?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Aunt Wen has spoiled me since I was a child. She is less principled than my mother. Of course I found out." He walked to the water dispenser, tore open a pack of medicine, shook it into a cup, and took half a cup of boiling water to wash it. into a brown liquid.

Jiang Yan watched him complete this series of actions, and then flashed to his side and turned to look at Jiang Wen again, "No, I know what you said, why do I feel—"

"Yanyan, don't delay Xiao Kong's rest, wait for him to take the medicine and rest for a while, why don't you—whether you lie on the table and take a nap." Jiang Wen washed the dishes and wiped the table clean, and said to Jiang Yan He added: "Xiao Kong's fever has subsided now, you come back early after school, Mom has something to do at work."

Jiang Yan looked at the 1.5-meter bed. Although it was not as spacious as the 1.8-meter bed, it was not too large to accommodate one more person.

He nodded perfunctorily in agreement, went to the bed, lifted the quilt and slipped in, and said, "Mom, I'll just sleep on the bed, I'm in good health, don't worry Xiao Kong won't infect me."

Jiang Wen clapped her hands: "You're right, what if you also catch a cold, Xiaokong? Oh, then you can't sleep on the bed anymore, you just sit on the table for the whole afternoon."

Jiang Yan fell asleep and got up again, shaking her lips and didn't know what to say for a while, "...Mom?"

Seeing that Xi Zhikong drank the medicine, Jiang Wen left with thousands of reminders. Before leaving, she told Jiang Yan to come back early from school over and over again, don't delay, and let go of the big things. Fever unattended.

"I tell you to sleep on your stomach on the table, don't come and grab a bed with me." Xi Zhikong tore up the quilt and kicked Jiang Yan's ass in disgust, "Hurry up."

Jiang Yan set the alarm clock, put the phone on the bedside table, patted the pillow next to him and smiled, "Whatever you pretend, my mother is gone."

Seeing Xi Zhikong standing beside the bed indifferently, Jiang Yan got up and put his arms around his waist and directly brought him to lie down beside him, "Come here, brother sleeps with you in my arms."

"You really stay away from me, I've caught a cold recently." Xi Zhikong still pushed his hands away from him, and turned his back to him.

Jiang Yan leaned over and wanted to sneak a kiss while he was not paying attention, but after he saw it through, he quickly pulled the quilt over and covered himself in it, hindering the plan.

He huddled under the blanket and said in a muffled voice, "No."

"why?"

"I told you that I have a cold!" Xi Zhikong's voice became louder as he muffled under the quilt, and it sounded quite fierce.

Jiang Yan simply hugged him across the quilt, put his forehead on his back and said, "Okay, okay, I won't kiss anymore, stick your head out, don't be bored."

"I don't believe you..." Xi Zhikong moved in his arms, but only moved.

Jiang Yan said: "Why don't you believe me, brother is just like this in your heart? Be obedient and come out."

While talking, he tore off the quilt on Xi Zhikong, and the man revealed his furry head and peeked at him with his eyes, coughed twice and said, "Don't be angry... I'm afraid I'll infect you. Seriously, I'm really not—”

"Okay, brother, I know, go to sleep, and I'll be back after school." Jiang Yan's heart was itchy and painful, and he tightened his arms and brought him into his arms again.

……

November passed with the intermittent coughing of Xi Zhikong, just entered December, and the first week before their birthdays, the snow fell.

He had a severe cold that lasted for a month, and he had repeated cough and fever. Later, he was admitted to the hospital and received injections for several days.During this period, Jiang Wen had been taking care of him in the hospital, and she was so haggard that her face was not very good-looking. Even Guangji asked someone to watch him, and was severely criticized by her and Grandma Jiang Yan.

According to Grandma Jiang Yan's words, if such a small child is not taken care of by herself, how can I feel relieved if I leave it to others?Lian Guangji was scolded one after another, and after paying the medical bills, he silently accompanied Jiang Wen to take care of Xi Zhikong.

Once Xi Zhikong had a fever of 39 degrees and couldn’t wake up. He didn’t know if he mistook Jiang Wen for his mother in a daze. He wanted to grab her hand and muttered “Mom” in a low voice. .

Jiang Wen froze on the spot not knowing how to react, Lian Guangji stood beside her and pushed her, so she quickly put down the water glass.Sitting on the edge of the bed, he promised twice and grabbed his hand.

And this scene happened to be seen by Jiang Yan who came to the hospital after school.

He put down his schoolbag, ignoring his parents still in the ward, squatting beside the bed, he went to hold Xi Zhikong's hand and softly called him: "Kongkong?"

Unexpectedly, his shout really woke people up. When Xi Zhikong opened his eyes and saw the worried expressions of Jiang Wen and Jiang Yan, a layer of water vapor filled his eyes when he rolled his mouth, and apologized cautiously: "I'm sorry, I made you worry..."

Jiang Wen's tears were shallow, and while feeding him water, she choked up and said, "Xiao Kong is very good, it's because my aunt didn't take good care of you, you get better quickly, my aunt will take you to eat delicious food, you see that your recent things are not good enough. I don’t eat much, and I lost weight again.”

Xi Zhikong smiled with the corners of his mouth curled up, his eyes curled into crescent moons with tears in his eyes, he nodded and agreed, "Well, thank you, Aunt Wen!"

He was almost recovering from his cold, just in time for the first snow to fall and lightly spread a layer on the ground.This weekend, as I said before, Jiang Wen will take Xi Zhikong to dinner today.

Lian Guangji and her were waiting at the corner of the street while Jiang Yan wrapped up the inner and outer three floors of Xi Zhikong and went out the door.

The snow reflected on the stairs as if a lamp was hung, Xi Zhikong let go of Jiang Yan's hand and ran out in a few steps.Seeing that the narrow alley was paved with snow, he was a little reluctant to step on it, and couldn't help sighing: "It's great, it's snowing!"

"Is it cold? Put your hands in your pockets to warm up." Jiang Yan pulled his hand, but he let him dodge, muttering something and running away.

——He couldn't bear it anymore, who could resist reaching out and grabbing the soft snow?

So he looked back at Jiang Yan and found that he was taking a mobile phone to reply with his head down. He stretched out his hand and imprinted a handprint on the concrete pier by the side of the road with lightning speed, and sighed in satisfaction: "Wow... ..."

When Jiang Yan put away his phone, he saw his hands pressed into the snow, and immediately stopped him loudly: "Put your hands back! You are not allowed to play with the snow!"

Jiang Yan grabbed Xi Zhikong's wrist firmly before he had finished playing with it, and put it directly into his pocket.

His hands moved restlessly in Jiang Yan's pocket, and he curled his lips and said, "Cut, if you don't let me play, you won't let me play. It's so fierce."

When he got close to the car, Jiang Yan let go of his hand, and the two of them got into Lian Guangji's car one after the other, and Jiang Wen immediately turned up the air conditioner.

There was a bit of traffic jam on the road, and before we got to the place to eat, the sky started to snow again.

Jiang Wen was leaning against the window with snowflakes in her eyes, she blinked as if seeing Gu Yishu smiling and calling her Jiang Wen's sister again.
