Little Wolf Cub of the Ginger Demon King
Chapter 42
People are always like this, reason and desire are always fighting fiercely.Bei Tiangui clearly knows that drinking is not good, but he often covets the feeling of being in a daze when drunk.
However, for a middle-aged man in his 40s who is addicted to alcohol, when his first love and long-awaited perfect family appear at the same time, he ignites new hope and is determined once again to break with alcohol.
Although it seems silly to put a tick on the notebook that I carry every day, it also represents Bei Tiangui's persistence and determination.
Jiang Lai couldn't help feeling that what Bei Xiaowu said made sense.There is no reason for Bei Tiangui to suddenly get drunk when he has been abstaining from alcohol for two months and five days.
What's more, it was Jiang Lai's birthday that day. In the afternoon, Bei Tiangui called Mrs. You and said he wanted to eat wontons. In the evening, he called Jiang Lai and made an appointment to go cycling on the abandoned road around the city.
There is no reason why a staunch abstainer should drink suddenly without the time or opportunity.
Jiang Lai lay tossing and turning on the narrow wire bed.
He opened the curtain and looked across.The lights in the east wing were still on, and it was past one o'clock in the morning.
Jiang Lai got up and opened the door, walked straight to the opposite side, and knocked lightly on the door.
There was no answer for a long time, Jiang Lai twisted the doorknob, but the door was not locked, so he stepped in.
Bei Xiaowu was lying on the desk with earphones plugged into his ears, and the three things were neatly placed in front of him.
A broken cell phone, a bunch of keys, and half a notebook with its sides rolled up.
"Go back to bed and sleep." Jiang Lai lightly touched Bei Xiaowu's elbow.
Bei Xiaowu's body undulated slightly, as if he was overtired and fast asleep.
Jiang Lai's throat moved, and he reached out to pick up the notebook and took a look.Putting the things back in place, his eyes fell on Bei Xiaowu again, and he felt a little different.
Bei Xiaowu's neck was exposed outside the sweater, and as his thicker shoulders lifted and sank, the boy's smell was strong and hot.
Jiang Lai stretched out his hand involuntarily, and gently brushed Bei Xiaowu's hair, ear pinna and slender neck with his fingertips.A bit of commotion and indescribable emotion was finally masked by a move to remove the boy's headphones.
This is the child that I unconsciously care about all the time. This person called my brother, this young man who is more aesthetically pleasing, strong and brave, undoubtedly has too many things that fascinate me.
Jiang Lai clearly knew that this feeling was different from the feeling towards Sun Jing.
He has always been closer to Sun Jing's appreciation, but it is much more complicated for Bei Xiaowu.
He wants to help this child, make him happy, and want him to have a bright future, but he always digs out the shocking power from the other person first.
For example, Jiang Lai would probably never make such a bold guess on the matter of his father's death if he were himself.
The blood alcohol concentration has been tested by a forensic doctor, and the accident site has also been investigated and identified by the traffic police. In Jiang Lai's view, it is not only bold but also whimsical to overthrow everything based on the trust between father and son.
But he clearly knew that Bei Xiaowu's guess was justified.
The trust between father and son has never existed between Jiang Lai and Jiang Bicheng, which does not mean that other father and son relationships in this world do not exist.
Jiang Lai stood there with complicated emotions and couldn't move for a long time.
Bei Xiaowu slept too deeply, and his arms ached from the pressure after a long time.He moved his fingers and got up slowly, seeing Jiang Lai out of the corner of his eye, he was startled.
"I believe in you." Jiang Lai reached out and touched Bei Xiaowu's hair, took off the earphone in his other ear, slightly raised the corner of his lips and said again, "I believe in you."
Just to say these few words?
Bei Xiaowu turned around slowly and met Jiang Lai's eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up in exactly the same arc.
"What do you believe in me?" Bei Xiaowu just woke up in a daze, his voice was hoarse, and his heart was beating violently.
Jiang Lai took a deep breath, "I believe what you said, your father didn't die because of drunk driving."
A person who drives drunk is undoubtedly equivalent to driving on the road with the motive of murder, breaking the bottom line of order and morality at any time, trampling and ignoring himself, his family and any life that appears in front of the car.
It's a crime.
No one wants their father to be charged with such a crime.If it is believed that Bei Tiangui's absence of drunk driving will make Bei Xiaowu feel better, Jiang Lai is willing to believe it.
"Thank you." Bei Xiaowu shook Jiang Lai's hand.
Probably because he just woke up, the boy's hands were slightly sweaty, warm and full of strength.
"Go to sleep," Jiang Lai patted Bei Xiaowu on the shoulder, "Go to bed and sleep well, the final exam is coming soon, focus on your studies."
Bei Xiaowu smiled, the fluorescent white light of the desk lamp hit the corners of his eyes and eyebrows, and his eyelashes cast a shadow, making the boy's face as sharp as a knife.
Jiang Lai turned around and was about to leave, but Bei Xiaowu stopped him again.
"elder brother!"
"Huh?" Jiang Lai walked back and stood at the spot just now, "What's wrong?"
Bei Xiaowu hesitated to speak several times, but finally shook his head slightly and said, "Good night."
"Good night."
Jiang Lai returned to his room, the orange bedside lamp was on, he stared blankly at the roof, his head filled with fog.
He couldn't fall asleep even more than before, he was sleepy and unable to sleep, and with the fog in his head, the fire in his body began to burn more and more intensely.
He is familiar with this kind of situation, and it's not pure desire | It's probably because he's always been nervous recently, so he desperately wants an outlet | to vent.And Jiang Lai also knew that this was another excuse for himself.
Well, as long as I can relax and sleep, I don't care so much.
He closed his eyes slightly, and the first thing that popped into his mind was Bei Xiaowu's small body covered with water drops.
Jiang Lai scolded himself for being shameless, but couldn't restrain himself from tracing the outline of the boy in his heart over and over again.
Anyway, this is his own secret, let's finish it early and sleep well, and finally he made up his mind not to fight anymore.
Jiang Lai let the kid in his head smile at him, and approached step by step, his hair and brows were wet|wet|wet, and his palms were down inch by inch.
The frequency of the heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and the blood rushed to one point at the same time, Jiang Lai bit his lower lip slightly...
Suddenly, the door was knocked, and Bei Xiaowu's voice came from outside the door, "Are you asleep?"
Jiang Lai's cheeks turned red for no reason, and although he hadn't attacked him yet, he already felt guilty for doing something wrong.
"Oh, I'm asleep." Jiang Lai lied.
The boy outside the door seemed to chuckle slightly, "Open the door, I want to come in."
Jiang Lai raised his hand and rubbed his slightly hot cheeks, turned over and got up, looked at himself in front of the feng shui mirror, went to the bedside and turned down the light a little before opening the door.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Lai asked.
Bei Xiaowu held the door panel with one hand, hesitated, "Well, can I come to your room to sleep, I'm alone..."
"Can't sleep?" Jiang Lai asked.
Bei Xiaowu nodded.
Jiang Lai pushed the door open to let Bei Xiaowu in.The curly and messy quilt was half open, slightly radiating heat.
Just a single bed, or the wire bed that Sherman bought temporarily when he first moved in.Bei Xiaowu was a little embarrassed and stood still.
"Let's go, go to your side." Jiang Lai cooled down, picked up his pillow from the bed and said to Bei Xiaowu.
Bei Xiaowu responded and went out first, Jiang Lai turned off the light and closed the door to follow Bei Xiaowu out.
The two rooms are separated by a yard, one hot, one cold, the other hot, and then entering the house, Jiang Lai felt tense all over and wanted to escape.
This little brat!Jiang Lai cursed secretly, he blamed Bei Xiaowu for asking him to sleep with him, and even more for having messy thoughts about children in his mind.
In order to hide his embarrassment, Jiang Lai spread a pillow and got under the quilt to close his eyes without waiting for Bei Xiaowu to react.
Bei Xiaowu slept on the other side of the bed in the dark, consciously keeping a distance of one foot.
The eyes adapted to the darkness, and everything in the room became clear. They both knew that the other party was not asleep, but they were unwilling to speak.
As long as I know that there is someone by my side, I feel more at ease, my heartbeat returns to calm, my nerves gradually relax, and the long-lost sleepiness finally strikes.
Jiang Lai felt the breath of the child beside him, and turned around and closed his eyes without blaming him.
From this day on, Jiang Lai discovered that Bei Xiaowu always used various excuses to avoid sleeping alone.
Sometimes I stay in my room, and sometimes I go to see Mrs. You and sleep on the sofa in her room at night, or I simply read a book by the window all night.
It wasn't until the end of the final exam that Jiang Lai realized that it was probably not that Bei Xiaowu couldn't sleep, but that he was afraid of sleeping alone.He remembered that at Bei Tiangui's funeral, Bei Xiaowu said that Bei Tiangui came to say goodbye to him that night, in a dream.
After Jiang Lai finished the last test, he booked a ticket to go to Q City to participate in the first exhibition of the art exhibition, and happily scrubbed Ozaki in the yard.
Chi Xiaohong was familiar with everything in the house, and worked very hard.Jiang Lai seldom talked to this girl, but seeing her diligent and serious appearance gradually let go of his guard, the two of them occasionally looked at each other with a kind smile.
On this day, the weather was fine, Jiang Lai was washing the car, and Chi Xiaohong was washing clothes in the yard.
Mrs. You sweats easily while lying down, so she changes her close-fitting clothes every day.Chi Xiaohong didn't feel at ease throwing it into the washing machine to wash it, so she squatted in the yard and washed it by hand when the weather was fine.
The back of the girl's hand was red, swollen and shiny, and Jiang Lai couldn't help but feel uncomfortable when he saw it.He boiled a pot of water and put it beside Chi Xiaohong, "Add some hot water to wash."
Xiaohong nodded and looked at Jiang Lai with a smile.
After Jiang Lai wiped Ozaki, he squatted beside Chi Xiaohong and asked her, "Can you wash the quilt?"
"Quilts?" Chi Xiaohong frowned, "Our over there are all cotton quilts, there is a special place for playing cotton, and here are all down quilts, I don't know."
When Xue Man came back from shopping for groceries and heard the conversation between the two, he put his hands on his hips triumphantly to block a small patch of sunlight above their heads, "I know how to do this, just throw it in the washing machine."
"Really?" Jiang Lai was dubious.
Chi Xiaohong suddenly realized, "Oh, yes, down jackets can be directly thrown into the washing machine."
Jiang Lai patted his head and pushed open the door of the east wing.
Bei Xiaowu went back to school to get his final exam report card, but there was no one in the room.Jiang Lai knew that Bei Xiaowu put the quilt he brought from the auto repair shop on the top of the wardrobe, and stepped on a chair to take it down.
He stood in the yard shaking the quilt with his arms in his arms, and there was a faint smell of rust mixed with the smell of engine oil, which was a bit unpleasant.
Jiang Lai carried the quilt to the laundry room, stuffed it into the washing machine and disturbed the duvet.
He couldn't watch Bei Xiaowu go on like this. The child is growing up, so it's okay not to sleep well.
