love letter to summer

Ye Ji turned off the computer and walked out of the room.

Xia Tang was in the kitchen, and the sound of pots and pans colliding could be heard. There were some meat and vegetables beside him. He must have walked halfway and remembered that Ye Ji hadn't eaten yet, so he went back to the supermarket to buy vegetables. .

No matter how much Ye Ji yelled at him, he still couldn't leave Ye Ji alone.

Ye Ji sighed in his heart, and stood outside looking at Xia Tang's back.

Xia Tang studied early, so although the two were at the same level, Ye Ji was nearly a year older than him, so Ye Ji took advantage of his age to become an elder brother.

In kindergarten, Xia Tang still called him brother and liked to cling to him every day.When eating, his face would be covered with grains of rice, and then he would shamelessly wipe his face with Ye Ji's clothes.Being bullied, she ran back patter, holding Ye Ji in her arms and babbling.

After entering elementary school, Xia Tang's self-awareness gradually awakened. One day when she woke up, she suddenly felt that it was a bit shameful to call a brother in her class—even though the student in the same class was indeed one year older than him. The two were still in the same class, so Xia Tang began to call Ye Ji "A Ji". Ye Ji didn't care about the address, so he let him go.At that time, when Xia Tang was bullied, he would beat him back without hesitation, instead of asking Ye Ji for help.

In middle school, the exuberant hormone secretion made all male creatures agitated like rabies, and Xia Tang was no exception. Every day, it was like being beaten with chicken blood, making noises and having fun everywhere. Ye Ji would go to Xia Tang's class teacher every now and then. The office brought him back.In the end, almost all the subject teachers in the grade had heard about their "prestige", and some of them would joke with Ye Ji from time to time: "Huh? You didn't go to Teacher Tang to pick up your brother today? It's really rare."

In Ye Ji's impression, Xia Tang has always been such a small, chubby one with baby fat on his face, like a little hamster.His personality is a bit impatient, he would yell and yell about trivial things, but he listened to Ye Ji very much, he would occasionally refute when Xia's father and summer mother scolded him, but when Ye Ji scolded him, he always bowed his head obediently. listen.

20 years passed in the blink of an eye.They have been making trouble all the way for 20 years.

In just a blink of an eye, that short little guy has completely changed—he has grown so tall, with broad shoulders and long body.He has his own circle of life and even his own ideals.He has become mature and sensible, able to study and live independently, and no longer needs Ye Ji to rush around for him.

Before Ye Ji could react, his Xia Tang had already grown up.

Ye Ji silently walked back to the living room and sat down on the sofa.

He looked at the floor, feeling empty.

The sound of chopping vegetables came from the kitchen, but it was not a smooth "do-doo-doo" sound, but a very heavy "bang bang" sound like an elephant treading.

Ye Ji listened for a while, the more he listened, the more something was wrong, so he got up to check.

Holding a kitchen knife, Xia Tang stood in front of the cutting board with a serious face, as if she could raise her arms at any time and release thousands of lightning bolts with the Thunder God Knife in her hand, splitting that worldly giant python that would destroy the world into a scorched snake .

Ye Ji looked at the cutting board in front of him speechlessly, and there was a dismembered lotus root lying on it. The lotus root slices were not thin and uniform, but... Ye Ji didn't know what shape that was.

Xia Tang seldom cooks, and usually eats at her own home, or goes to Ye Ji's home for lunch.

Ye Ji: "What are you doing?"

Xia Tang said: "Save the world." After he shouted generously, he turned his head and immediately turned into a bitter look, "Why is it so difficult to cut vegetables? You clearly cut vegetables easily every time..."

Ye Ji sighed deeply, walked over and said, "Didn't I teach you before?"

Xia Tang's eyes were filled with tears: "Back to the Majesty, that was all four years ago, who remembers..."

Ye Ji answered blankly: "You have forgotten your mission before the communist army entered the village, you should be killed." He walked behind Xia Tang, Xia Tang put down the knife and was about to make way for him, but Ye Ji suddenly grabbed it. holding his wrist.

Xia Tang was startled, and looked at him stupidly.

Ye Ji whispered: "I'll teach you again." I can't be with you forever, maybe one day in the future, you need to start cooking by yourself.

Ye Ji stood behind Xia Tang, put the handle of the knife in his right hand, then held his hand, and put his left hand on the lotus root.

The silver blade cuts off a piece of lotus root lightly and skillfully. The slice is flat and thin, like a cicada's wing.

Xia Tang exclaimed "Wow".

His head shook slightly as he spoke, and his hair brushed against Ye Ji's cheek, soft and shattered, like a puppy's fur.

Ye Ji lowered his head slightly and rested his chin on his shoulder.Xia Tang smiled, moved her neck, and lightly bumped Ye Ji with her head.

A section of lotus root was cut quickly, Ye Ji took Xia Tang to wash his hands, the sink was next to it, and he could touch it by turning around.Ye Ji took Xia Tang's hand from behind and put it under the faucet.Cold water splashed down on their hands.

When he was a child, Xia Tang often played wildly outside, and when he came home, he was often as dirty as a mud monkey, and his hands were also dirty.The first thing he did after returning home was to be caught by an adult to wash his hands. If Ye Ji happened to be at Xia's house, it would be Ye Ji who caught him to wash his hands.

At that time, his hands were still soft and tender, and his fingers were like short bamboo shoots.Ye Ji pulled him to the washbasin, the two put their feet together, put their hands under the faucet, Ye Ji squeezed the hand sanitizer into his hands to make foam, then grabbed Xia Tang's hands and rubbed them, Xia Tang giggled , and sometimes turned around suddenly and slapped Ye Ji's face with foamy hands.

"When you were young, you hated washing your hands very much. You often asked me to help you to wash your hands." Ye Ji took the hands that had become bone-bone and gently rubbed the foam on them.

Xia Tang made a bitter face, and said in a dragged voice, "It's also very annoying now."

Ye Ji smiled quietly, turned on the faucet, and washed their hands with clean water.

The wet hands are a little cold.

Ye Ji's hand was slightly bigger than Xia Tang's, but his fingers were thinner and his skin color was fairer.

"You are too white." Xia Tang looked at his hands and said suddenly.

Ye Ji smiled: "I can't help it, I can't get tanned."

Xia Tang raised his hand, shook the water and said, "A man should be like me!"

Is this mocking me for being a little boy?Ye Ji turned back: "A person who is afraid of eating vegetables, dare to call himself a man?"

Xia Tang was immediately discouraged, and yelled guiltily: "Human beings have finally evolved to the top of the food chain, and they still eat plants? The efforts of our ancestors are all in vain. They will hide in the toilet and cry."

Ye Ji lowered his head, leaned on his shoulder and smiled, laughed for a while, then didn't move.

"Aji?"

Xia Tang waited for a while, but Ye Ji still didn't respond, he wanted to turn around, but Ye Ji grabbed his shoulder to prevent him from turning around.
