After a moment of silence in the living room, Jiang Yan suddenly put his hand on Xi Zhikong's hand held by Jiang Wen, nodded and asked in a low voice, "Aren't you aware of all this?"

Xi Zhikong just shook his head instinctively, and then Jiang Yan asked again: "Then today your uncle and aunt said to sell the house, did you agree?"

"I didn't, I don't know what to do."

Lian Guangji sat down on the sofa opposite, and slowly said: "Both children of Gu Yijian's family are seriously ill, and life is really hard—"

"Then they are suffering, so we Xiaokong won't suffer? Xiaokong was only a little old when Yi Shu left...Brother Xi had an accident again. It was our Xiaokong's house. Why didn't they sell themselves when they wanted to sell the house? Yes?! I really made up my mind to see a doctor for my two children, I think their house can be sold for a good price!"

"Oh, don't get excited. I mean that life is really hard, but this approach is really too inappropriate. How about it? I will talk to them and say that Xiaokong's house can't be sold. How much money do I need? borrow."

Xi Zhikong hurriedly waved his hand: "No, no, uncle, my uncle, aunt, and the others... may not be able to pay back..."

"Look! You know they're still not there yet!" Jiang Wen patted the cushion and stood up from the sofa, "Xiao Kong, where's Fangben?"

"I didn't take it when I left..."

"Then don't worry about this matter, study hard, Aunt Wen will take care of it for you, if uncle calls you again, tell him to find me—Xiao Kong, you will be an adult this year, just now Auntie called you in the car You should think about what you said, and then tell auntie." Jiang Wen's tone softened a bit, she bent down and patted Xi Zhikong's shoulder and said, "I know you want to wait for dad, and auntie Wen won't do anything. Procedures, you can stay with us with peace of mind before Dad comes back, and you don’t have to be afraid to go to college, Aunt Qian Wen will cover it for you, and Auntie hopes you have a good life, so don’t hide anything from me.”

On the first day of the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xi Zhikong felt that his brain capacity had been exhausted.He sat on the sofa in a daze for a while, Jiang Wen and Lian Guangji went out again, and Jiang Yan stared at him with his legs crossed, his elbows on his knees and his head tilted.

It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when Xi Zhikong came back to his senses and felt his fiery gaze.Annoyed in his heart, he was stunned on the sofa for nearly two hours, rubbed the back of his neck, yawned and fell into Jiang Yan's arms, lying on his back as a pillow on his lap, with some tears on his eyelashes, mumbled : "I'm really, really tired today."

"Huh? But I seem to be happy that we have an empty house?" Jiang Yan's index finger gently tapped between his brows, scraping down from the bridge of his nose from time to time, and stroking the two lips with his fingertips.

Xi Zhikong opened his mouth and bit him, and said, "Then, don't I want to dance and dance because I became the 'son-in-law' of a billionaire?"

"Son-in-law?" Jiang Yan raised his eyebrows, lowered his head and tapped his lips, "Take a nap for a while, I don't need to study today, since I'm so tired."

"That won't work!" Xi Zhikong turned over and sat up, put on his slippers and "vigilantly" moved slowly from the sofa to the stairs.

Jiang Yan supported his forehead with one hand, and said with a helpless smile: "You want to participate in the selection of the most inspirational boy friend?"

Xi Zhikong stepped on the stairs, frowned and said, "I'm not young at all."

"The word of mouth is useless."

Jiang Yan also got up from the sofa and approached the stairs step by step, with a wanton smile on his lips, "Let me identify it."

……

The first winter vacation with Jiang Yan also became Xi Zhikong's most fulfilling winter vacation.Except for weekends, he gets up on time at 06:30 every day, and implements the study plan seamlessly. Even the calculation level and the speed of memorizing words have changed significantly.

After that day, Jiang Wen didn't ask him about "adoption" again, but she really did what she said she was treating him better than Jiang Yan.

At one point, it was so real that it was as if Jiang Yan had picked it up.

From the first day to the seventh day, Jiang Wen accompanied Lian Guangji to visit relatives and friends. From the eighth day onwards, Jiang Wen accompanied Jiang Yan and Xi Zhikong every day, doing everything together.

It’s been a long time since Jiang Yan played well. It’s been a long time since he made up his mind to seduce people but was always hit in the heart by the straight ball player Xi Zhikong. He actually misses that Xi Zhikong The embarrassing and heart-wrenching self in front of me.

However, thanks to Jiang Wen, Xi Zhikong finally went out.Jiang Wen often took the other arm in arm to go shopping and eat in nearby shopping malls, and then watch movies.When an acquaintance asked who the two children were, she lifted her chin and said proudly that they were my two sons.

Seeing her smiling so happily, Xi Zhikong seems to have begun to acquiesce to her proposal, and no longer rejects some of her small ideas. Occasionally, when she meets some clothes that she wants to see herself wearing, he accepts them after buying them, and then takes them out from time to time. Wear it, and take this as a meager reward for her.

Before school started, Lian Guangji gave Jiang Yan and him a new mobile phone. He carefully put Gu Yishu's mobile phone away, and even put a pack of moisture-proof agent in the box.

The mobile phone was originally rejected by him repeatedly, but later Jiang Yan said that it was in exchange for the favor he "earned" in front of his father. He unpacked and activated the mobile phone in front of him, and acted cutely and pretended to be fierce, so he reluctantly accepted it. .

After school started, the two decided to live in the alley after much deliberation, but this time they moved to Jiang Yan's house, firstly because everything was relatively complete there, and secondly because Jiang Wen was afraid that Gu Yijian would always come to Xi Zhikong .

As Xi Zhikong said, they definitely couldn't afford the money. Liu Ping said she would pay them back, but when Lian Guangji came forward to "borrow" them, they suddenly didn't need money anymore. Fang Ben, who was sitting empty, did not let go.

Even Guangji originally said that buying this house book directly was considered a break between Xi Zhikong and them, but after Xi Zhikong expressed his gratitude, he clearly and decisively refused - if that was the case, he would rather sue Gu Yijian and Liu Ping blackmailed.

……

In the blink of an eye, in late spring and April, a rainstorm scattered many apricot blossoms in the school, some were spread on the sidewalk, and more fell under the trees, and it seemed to melt into the soil all afternoon.

It's April, and the apricot flowering period is coming to an end, and the sparse petals on the branches seem to be unfinished.The first monthly exam at the beginning of school, Zhikong went to an exam room, and he seemed to be one step closer to Jiang Yan. He was very happy.Although the progress in the ranking is not obvious, at least it is stable in the top twenty.

From the penultimate to the top [-], for more than four months, Xi Zhikong almost showed all his momentum so far, exhausted and satisfied.

The second class just won the first place in the singing competition, and it was also the first place in the monthly exam. It was even the first place in the blackboard newspaper appraisal and the construction of the book corner a few days ago, which made Chen Xucong very happy.

As soon as he was happy, he decided to strike while the iron was hot and apply to the school for a make-up class on Saturday.

As a study committee member, Jiang Yan shouldered the heavy responsibility of collecting opinions from classmates in the class.He stood on the podium blankly and glanced around, and began to read according to the mobilization draft given by Chen Xucong:

"Everyone—students at the time of youth, I am your most respected, strict and kind head teacher..." After reading the first sentence, Jiang Yan couldn't continue reading, and everyone below was holding back their laughter.

"Spring is warm and flowers are blooming, spring returns to the earth, spring - spring is full of..."

He rubbed his temples, sighed and continued reading.

"I see you who are full of vitality, just like seeing the rising sun tomorrow, and the starry sky is lit by you—"

Xi Zhikong thought to himself, this old Chen is worthy of being a Chinese teacher, this mobilization draft is simply suffocating, making people unable to resist.

Sure enough, Jiang Yan couldn't read any more.

"Well, what Lao Chen means is that we will be divided into subjects immediately. Our class is scheduled for science, and the school has assigned tasks. I hope that the students and teachers will work hard together." The mobilization draft was folded and pinched in his hand, and he added: "This Saturday, make-up classes will start. Except for classes 1000, [-], [-], and [-], other classes will not be organized. There will be no morning and evening classes for make-up classes. Everyone, please make preparations. Parents communicate well."

After getting off the podium and walking back to his seat, Jiang Yan saw Xi Zhikong lying on the table drowsy, so he pulled the hat on for him.

The weather warmed up in April and changed out of heavy cotton clothes. Jiang Wen went to the mall a few days ago to buy a lot of spring clothes for the two of them.This white sweater with a pair of small ears on the hat was bought by her.

When packing and checking out that day, Xi Zhikong asked the clerk three times: Is this ear sweater really a men's style?The clerk smiled and nodded to him to confirm that it was correct. He held the clothes in his hands dumbfounded, and looked up to see Jiang Wen's longing eyes.

So he always wears this dress during this time.

The remedial classes were applied by the class teachers of classes [-], [-], [-], and [-]. Other classes that did not make up classes were also included in the remedial class plan at first, but because of too many voices of opposition, only these four classes were finally finalized.The second class is scheduled to be a science class, and the make-up courses on Saturdays are only three sciences plus language and mathematics. There is an hour of discussion time after school every Saturday, and the class discussion will be organized by the study committee and class representatives.

After Jiang Yan selfishly organized two math discussions in a row, He Xing recalled and raised a "protest". He asked Sun Chenxuan to block Jiang Yan at the door of the classroom when he came back from carrying homework—just like the last time he blocked the seats. Also prepared to torture him.

"Jiang Yan, aren't you setting up a small stove for your family? You are almost throwing up math problems, can you change to another one next week?" When He Xing mentioned the word mathematics, what lingered in his mind was Various functions and corresponding function images, as well as a large section of questions that may not be understood after reading them.

Sun Chenxuan was also bad at mathematics, and he complained about it. He had to follow Jiang Zhehui's butt every day to ask him various questions.

Jiang Yan looked up at Jiang Zhehui who was silent, then turned to look at Sun Chenxuan and said with a smile: "The teacher said that it is very important to lay a good foundation in mathematics."

"That's not your style of play!" Sun Chenxuan was miserable, a bunch of curse words were choked in his throat, and he shook his head and said sadly: "It is said that brothers are like brothers, is that how you hurt brothers?"

"It's not so exaggerated. Let's talk about it—you don't understand. If you ask Jiang Zhehui, it's over."

Sun Chenxuan looked back at Jiang Zhehui again, curled his lips and said nothing.

Shu Jiyue, who came back from the ideological and political office, happened to pass by them again. She always felt that the scene was too familiar, and she leaned on the guardrail with great interest and asked loudly, "You guys are repeating yesterday? Today, you are bullying him with Kong Kong on your back." Is there a banquet?"

He Xing: "..."

Jiang Yan lowered his head and smiled, and saw a pair of familiar shoes between the legs of the two people beside him.He raised his head and tilted his head over He Xing's shoulder to look at Xi Zhikong who was walking towards him, and waved to him.I saw him shaking off the water stains on his hands, throwing the used tissue into the trash can, and pulling He Xing back by the collar: "I want to listen to any gossip."

"It is said that Jiang Yan bent the law for personal gain, abused public power, and benefited private interests by shaming the public—" Sun Chenxuan tried his best to search for various idioms in his mind, but was caught off guard by He Xing, and angrily said: "What are you kicking me for!"

"What's the difference between pulling Chinese in front of Xi Zhikong and English in front of Shu Jiyue? Don't embarrass me..." He Xing straightened his collar, turned around and raised his chin to Jiang Yan and said, "With Seriously, class [-] invites us to a basketball game, do you want to show it to the organization?"

Sun Chenxuan's eyes lit up as soon as he heard the basketball, and he immediately pasted Jiang Yan "regardless of past suspicions". Xi Zhikong poked him on the shoulder: "Hey, hey, what are you doing?"

"Wow, what are you doing!" Sun Chenxuan looked at Xi Zhikong standing in front of him, patted his sleeves and said, "I think you two are typically taking up social 'resources', which could have benefited two single men and women , I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it, we went together.”

"What do you want to do, talk about it!" Jiang Yan raised his leg and kicked him, and put his hands on Xi Zhikong's shoulders to wrap his arms around him, looking even more arrogant.

Shu Jiyue stretched her waist, yawned and asked, "How do you play the basketball game at your school?"

"How to hit what?" He Xing asked back.

"That's right - forget it, you guys definitely don't play those games, young people..." Shu Jiyue moved her waist and walked slowly into the classroom, then suddenly turned around and said, "Count me in, the ball game."

Jiang Yan stuffed the homework that was held in the other hand into Sun Chenxuan's arms, shook his arms and asked, "Why did Class Seven suddenly want to have a ball game with our class?"

"Think about it, no matter if it's a sports meeting or a singing competition, whether it's this--the class has singing or the book corner, their class is always one or two points behind our class, so they must not be convinced." He Xing said.

"Then you say that, doesn't it mean that the whole grade should not be convinced by us?" Jiang Yan raised his hand and took off the petals on Xi Zhikong's shoulder, and said casually: "Class seven...do you remember that Cao Mu?"

He Xing was taken aback for a moment, then nodded: "Remember, didn't you just beat me up?"

Jiang Yan glanced at Xi Zhikong, and said with a smile: "I heard that he failed a grade, and he is in Class [-]. He must have been beaten last time and warned by Shu Jiyue. He was not convinced, so he made an appointment for this ball game."

"Then what do you mean, it's just for a few of us?"

Xi Zhikong lowered his head and pursed his lips and smiled: "This is, Wu can't come to 'literature'?——I mean civilized literature."

"Then we have to fight even more! If you can't fight or play basketball, suffocate him!" Sun Chenxuan hugged his homework, clenched his hands into fists and looked eager to try, so Jiang Yan kindly reminded him:

"Your waist, do you still want to play?"

Sun Chenxuan was stunned for two seconds, then cursed in a low voice with grief, and then said, "What are you afraid of! Anyway, let's fight!"

"Can you catch the ball?" Jiang Zhehui took off his glasses and wiped them, then put them back on and glanced at him.

He Xing next to him burst into laughter holding his belly, Jiang Yan took the opportunity to take Xi Zhikong and went back to the classroom.

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Sun Chenxuan hooked Jiang Zhehui's neck with one hand, bent his leg and kicked Jiang Zhehui's thigh: "Look down on me?"

Jiang Zhehui didn't speak, but pinched his wrist unnaturally and took his hand away from his shoulder, and said lightly: "I'm just tired of rubbing medicine on someone these days."

"Why do you have such a good relationship and help me apply some medicine! Hey, don't go! ——No..."

The next day, He Xing wrote a written application and handed it over to Chen Xucong. Chen Xucong approved it with a swipe of a pen, and the competition was scheduled for this Friday.After reading the weather forecast that it might rain, Jiang Yan went to the teacher of the physical education group to borrow the indoor basketball court.

At first it looked like a friendly basketball match between Class [-] and Class [-], but Cao Mu was used to being high-profile, so he just used a loudspeaker to promote it everywhere, and even asked someone to make a decent poster.

Xi Zhikong stood in front of the huge poster at the entrance of the gymnasium, looked at the silhouettes of the second class on the poster, and carefully identified which one was his handsome brother Yan, but none of them looked the same.

Jiang Yan ran over from behind him with two bottles of drinks, handed one to him, unscrewed the other and took a sip with his head up, Xi Zhikong turned around just in time to see his Adam's apple twitching up and down, and swallowed involuntarily .

"Brother Yan."

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yan smacked his lips.

Xi Zhikong smiled so much that his eyes curled up, he took a sip from the bottle in his hand, licked his lips and said in a low voice, "Are you interested in going to the bathroom together?"
