love like wind

After cleaning the wound, Xu Li took out the Band-Aid and stuck it to the wound very lightly.

Yang Jiayou felt better.

The two teenagers sat on the carpet, looking up at the moon outside the window, without saying anything.

After a long time, Xu Li threw the used cotton swabs and the outer packaging of the Band-Aid into the trash can, and heard Yang Jiayou say: "For a long time, I didn't know why I came to this world. Before you came, my sister and I I quarrel almost every day. In fact, I don’t hate her. It’s because my mother is too close to her. No matter what I do, the first person to apologize and admit my mistakes is always me. Over time, I got used to tolerance and being ignored. Later, I found that kicking The ball can make me forget my troubles, and I don’t have to remember my grievances, I am addicted to sports activities. But when I go home and see my sister, I have to think of those things again, so Jiayu and I are always at odds.”

"Then you came and I could finally catch my breath, and my mother noticed that I needed care too, not just a strong older brother. I knew about your family. When I was in junior high school, I looked at you and felt like I was the same as you. Yes, although I have parents, I have been neglected all the time. I am excellent, and it is a matter of course; I am naughty, and I will be severely punished.” Yang Jiayou took a deep breath, “I am very tired, I don’t want to be a brother, I just want to be myself , but everyone is labeling me."

Xu Li said: "Jiayou, you are different from me. Your parents are still there, but I really have nothing left."

Yang Jiayou's tears flowed down, and he was extremely wronged: "But look at today, there is no difference between having a mother and not having a mother. This is my sister's mother, not mine. No one listens to my thoughts, I am What kind of person, no one believes. She will only think that I caused trouble and hit my classmates, and never cares about why I did it."

"Don't you still have Uncle Yang who understands you?"

Yang Jiayou said: "My dad is very busy and has many things to deal with. At least when I was a child, Jiayu and I spent most of the time facing my mother."

Xu Li said softly: "Actually, my parents are not so perfect. When I didn't transfer to another school, I was at the same table as a girl. Unlike you and Jiayu, she was an only child. She still remembers the things when she was a child. She often said that her mother used to wash her face. It hurts, her hair is tied and her scalp is pulled, and she is very envious of others who have gentle mothers. Sometimes it is sad because we have too high expectations of our parents, which may sound pessimistic, but it is true."

Originally thought that Xu Li would talk clichés, but he did not expect him to say these words. Yang Jiayou sniffed, and his voice was nasal: "Xu Li, I'm sorry, I shouldn't say that in front of you, it will make you even sadder." Xu Lilian No family to complain about.

Xu Li shook his head, "Jiayou, what you said to your uncle and aunt today, I am very touched, really."

Yang Jiayou turned his face away, feeling embarrassed, and didn't speak.

After a while, Yang Jiayou asked, "What kind of people are your parents?"

Xu Li's tone was calm: "They are very good people, although they didn't accompany me for long."

Yang Jiayou was afraid that he would think of sad things, so he didn't dare to continue asking.

Xu Li went on to say: "Maybe you think that Aunt Xu is protecting Jiayu, but you also know that Jiayu didn't eat green beans in the past. She is not as happy as you imagined, and she is not as happy as you imagined. She is also learning piano. Because her understanding is weaker than others, she It takes more effort to reach the starting line of others. It’s a very uncomfortable feeling when others are running farther and farther, but you can’t catch up with all your strength.”

In fact, Xu Li wanted to say that he used to look at Yang Jiayou like this, and he knew this feeling too well.

Yang Jiayou cleared his throat, feeling much better, and his voice was very soft: "Ren Qihang said today, is it because I am too smart that I took away what belongs to my sister—"

"Jiayou," Xu Li called him solemnly, "Don't blame yourself so much, everyone has their own life, you can't blame Jiayu's matter, what Ren Qihang said is wrong."

"You asked me in gym class that day, why don't you keep working hard?" Yang Jiayou's tone sounded heavy, "Except for the reason of playing basketball, in fact, I don't want to be so good at all. The better I am, the more I feel ashamed of my sister. It seems very simple to me, but it is difficult for my sister to do it. When I saw it, I felt very uncomfortable in my heart. It doesn’t take grades that seriously.”

Yang Jiayou went on to say: "When I was playing today, I actually didn't recognize that player No. 7 was Ren Qihang. There were too many people playing together, and the number was not fixed. I forgot to make a note on WeChat. Speaking of the name, I was in the ranking before. I have seen Ren Qihang on the list, and I have a little impression of these three words. Even if he has good grades, I will never be friends with such a person in my life."

Xu Li asked: "Have you offended him before? How dare he let people surround Jia Yu?"

"His family is very powerful. Last time he played with our class, I dunked several three-pointers. He is the one who can't afford to lose. He played dirty tricks." Yang Jiayou clenched his cheeks, and subconsciously swept Looking at the back of his hand, fortunately, the wound has been taped.

Xu Li was a little worried, "Then if you hit him, his family won't continue to cause trouble?"

Yang Jiayou sneered, "You treat me as my dad for nothing? Just him? That's bullying, a jerk!"

Xu Li couldn't help grinning, "Hiss—" the corner of his mouth hurt a little.

Yang Jiayou hurriedly lowered his head to look at Xu Li and checked the injury on his face. The swelling was better than before returning home, but there were faint bruises, "Sleep on your side tonight, don't press the injury."

Xu Li's nose turned sour, and he lowered his eyes, "I know."

Yang Jiayou looked at him quietly, his uninjured side face was fair and delicate, his eyelids were lowered, his eyelashes fluttered slightly, and he looked very gentle.He asked in a strange way: "You failed the exam last time, did you have something on your mind? Huh?"

Xu Li was a little flustered, and when he calmed down, he raised his head and looked at Yang Jiayou with calm eyes: "No."

Yang Jiayou snorted: "If you don't tell me now, I will always find a way to find out. Don't I know you yet?"

Xu Li had no choice but to change the subject and asked, "You're going to be a third year in high school soon, what are your plans after that?"

Yang Jiayou propped his hands on the carpet, leaned his upper body up, and looked up at the moonlight, "I have no plans." He looked at Xu Li, "What about you?"

Xu Li said truthfully: "I don't know yet. Now the grades are not stable, and they go up and down."

"If you take the 985 exam, you'll be fine, right? You're not going to be admitted to Tsinghua University—" Before finishing speaking, Yang Jiayou suddenly froze, his heart beat faster, and he restrained his smile: "What exactly do you want?"

Xu Li's gaze eased, "Why am I not doing anything, why are you so nervous?"

Yang Jiayou glanced at him, and asked angrily, "Do you want to go to Beijing?"

Xu Li didn't speak.

Yang Jiayou obviously accepted his acquiescence, his breathing became short, and he said, "Don't even think about it!" In fact, he wanted to say, wherever I go, you can go there.His parents haven't interfered with him yet, but no accident, he should stay in Nanjing to go to school, close to his parents, can go home often, and take care of his younger sister from time to time.He was really worried about being too far away from home.Yang Jiayou had already thought about these things.

The younger sister Yang Jiayu is in a special situation. He is a little more mature than his peers and thinks more.

This habit of thinking has been engraved into Yang Jiayou's bones. Although he is impatient with the details of life, every time he rides with Yang Jiayu, he always rides very fast, and he doesn't think Yang Jiayu is a girl at all.But after a long time, Yang Jiayu is not afraid, and has developed courage, and even finds it very exciting.

Xu Li's heart warmed, and he just said: "I'll talk about it later, I'll play the league with you in April!" He patted Yang Jiayou's shoulder to make himself look more normal.

Yang Jiayou glanced at him, feeling a little uncomfortable. Now he realized that Xu Li no longer knew everything about him like before, and sometimes even concealed things. Thinking of this, he felt a little uncomfortable.

However, he is not in a hurry for a while, anyway, there is still a year before the college entrance examination, and he will find a way to find out what Xu Li is hiding from him.Others may not be able to feel Xu Li's changes, but Yang Jiayou gets along with him day and night, and understands Xu Li's emotional changes very well.

Something must be changing.

Seeing that it was getting late, Xu Li stood up, "Go to bed early, I'll go back to my room first."

Yang Jiayou didn't speak, and watched Xu Li leave, feeling very quiet in his heart. He looked down at the back of his hand, which had a clean Band-Aid on it.From childhood to adulthood, Yang Jiayou's family was well-off and he lacked everything, but no one had ever understood him like Xu Li and cared so much for him.

After entering the second semester of the second year of high school, the pace of learning is obviously faster than before, and the silent pressure gradually hits.

Xu Li's study status has improved. He doesn't want more people to stand between him and Yang Jiayou. The one behind the other in the monthly exam rankings reminds Xu Li again that he should not slack off in his studies.

The basketball league in April was like a stimulant, which quickly ignited the enthusiasm of the students.

This competition is a friendly match between schools and schools. There are competitions for all three grades in the high school and it will be held in the school's gymnasium.The time was set on Sunday morning, the school did not force other students to watch the game, but there were no seats on the indoor basketball court, and many of them were students from the school next door.

Ren Qihang did speak harshly before, but he was right in saying something. With Xu Li assisting Yang Jiayou, Yang Jiayou was like a tiger with wings on the court. He had been looking forward to such an excellent opportunity for a long time.

Yang Jiayu also wanted to watch, but considering that she was about to face the high school entrance examination, Xu Ying suggested that she study with peace of mind.

After thinking about it, she still agreed. Compared with such an opportunity, studying hard and being on par with her brothers is the most important thing.

I thought it was an ordinary game, but when Yang Jiayou recalled this time as an adult, he realized that it was that game that made Xu Li reborn from the ashes, and his sharpness suddenly appeared, completely scalding Yang Jiayou's entire youth.
