Monsoon

Ever since he was sensible, Ji Xiao didn't like studying. His parents said and persuaded him countless times, but Ji Xiao remained unmoved.

"You have to set an example for your brother."

cliche.

He glanced at Ji Chi, who was lying on the small table doing his homework, and kicked him over.

"Mom! Ji Xiao is bullying me again!"

On the first day, Ji Xiao changed, that is, he skipped class as a minor one day, and changed to an adult status the next day.

It was already late at night after playing games in the Internet cafe. Ji Xiao took out the school uniform from his school bag and put it on. There was still one yuan in the pocket of the school uniform, which was the last leftover after spending all the food expenses for the day in the Internet cafe.When he was almost at the door of the house, he bought a popsicle and took it back to Ji Chi. He wondered if the boy had fallen asleep.

There are almost no pedestrians on the road, and the stall owner of the snack cart is closing the stall.

Ji Xiao quickened his pace, although he would inevitably be punished if he went back.

While walking, his attention was attracted by the huge movement in the alley in the distance.

Ji Xiao was a little nervous, it was so late, who was there?

He hid behind the billboard on the corner of the street and looked quietly. In the deep alley, a group of people were fighting. To be precise, a group of people were beating one person, punching and kicking. The man who was beaten had no room to fight back. He only held his head and curled up together.

After the violence, the group of people walked away from the other end of the alley, leaving only the man lying on the spot. He must not be able to get up for a while, and his body still seemed to be shaking uncontrollably.

hurt it.

Ji Xiao doesn't like to be nosy, but he just walked over by the streetlight.

"Are you okay?" Ji Xiao stood beside the man.

no respond.

"Are you badly hurt?"

Still no response.

"Do you need to help you call the police?"

"unnecessary."

After a while, he finally spoke, his voice was like an old envelope in the cracks of a piano, full of smoke and tiredness.

The popsicle in Ji Xiao's pocket was slowly melting.

"What's your name?" Ji Xiao asked, "Where do you live?"

"Zhang Xiang."

After he answered, he stopped talking.

Ji Xiao squatted down and reached out to help Zhang Xiang up.As a result, Zhang Xiang, who was lying on the ground with his eyes closed, just stretched out his hand halfway, suddenly clamped Ji Xiao's wrist: "What are you doing?"

After finishing speaking, he coughed twice.

He was too strong, Ji Xiao frowned.

"It hurts. You let go. I just want to help you up."

After Zhang Xiang made sure that Ji Xiao was not threatening, he slowly released Ji Xiao's wrist, and sat up on his own, while Ji Xiao supported him on the electric box beside him.

"You just got beaten up, so I won't hold you accountable for such a rude behavior." Ji Xiao rubbed his wrist and sighed, "You are unlucky enough, being surrounded and beaten by so many people must have gotten into the underworld Bar?"

Zhang Xiang lowered his head and didn't answer, Ji Xiao spoke again: "Let me help you look, your knee is just a little bruised and not bleeding, but the wound on the corner of your mouth is quite deep."

"If you go to the hospital, I'll call for you. If you don't go to the hospital, I won't force you to go. After all, we don't know each other."

"I have some ice here, which should help stop the bleeding from your wound."

As Ji Xiao said, he smashed the pocket in his hand on the ground, then took it off, and slowly brought the popsicle bag close to the corner of Zhang Xiang's mouth.

Zhang Xiang opened his eyes, meeting Ji Xiao's eyes.

His eyes made Ji Xiao's movements freeze in place.

Ji Xiao's eyes are clear, like the drops of blue wind chime perfume after taking a bath, while Zhang Xiang's eyes are born sharp, like a knife, like a raging fire, like a silent ocean, and like a drug to seduce people , breathtaking.

Many years later, Ji Xiao still misses those eyes. For those 3 minutes, he forgot who he was, only cared about being addicted, and only wanted to chase after him by all means.

Under the dim street lights, it seemed that time had stopped.

On the second floor of the alley, "The Bright Moon A Thousand Miles Sends Lovesickness" suddenly floated faintly. The texture of the old Shanghai record, the lazy and charming female voice seems to be telling a love story that has been passed down from ancient times, lingering and intoxicating.

The gentle evening wind took Ji Xiao's hand and gently pressed the ice pack on the corner of Zhang Xiang's mouth.

Dazed.

"What's your name?" the hoarse voice asked.

"Ji Xiao." He replied.

"Ji Xiao...Ji Xiao..." He said a few times hoarsely, then chuckled.

"Ji Xiao, I'm afraid of the dark, can you stay?"

Ji Xiao is not a nosy person, but he sat beside the injured Zhang Xiang all night.

"The Moon A Thousand Miles Sends Lovesickness" was also played all night.

Zhang Xiang waited for Ji Xiao at the gate of Ji Xiao's school.

On this day, Ji Xiao was planning to skip class and surf the Internet, but was caught by the school police halfway, and could only sleep in the classroom until school was over.

Zhang Xiang waved to Ji Xiao across from the school.

Ji Xiao smiled and walked over.

"It's you? Zhang...Xiang?" Ji Xiao was a little surprised that Zhang Xiang came to him.

Zhang Xiang can still move, indicating that the injury is healing.Today he changed into a black jacket and black slacks, he was not as shabby as he was that night, and looked in good spirits.

"Do you like to eat this kind of popsicle?" Zhang Xiang raised the bag.

Ji Xiao took a look, there were more than 20 bags of popsicles inside!

"Why did you buy so much?!"

"Hold it." Zhang Xiang pulled Ji Xiao's hand over and put the bag on his wrist.

"I am leaving."

Without delay, before Ji Xiao could speak, Zhang Xiang turned around and left, leaving Ji Xiao in a daze, with the warmth on his hands still there.

Is this showing gratitude?But this way of repaying gratitude is a bit peculiar.

After a while, I saw Zhang Xiang. It was Valentine's Day on Qixi Festival. On the way after school, Ji Xiao hugged the gift from the girl and didn't know what to do with it.

Zhang Xiang leaned on the pole and smoked, as if he was waiting for someone.

"Hi, we meet again." Ji Xiao walked over to greet him.

"What is this?" Zhang Xiang snuffed out the cigarette.

People can't help but pay attention to the pile of colorful gift bags, walking on the road has already earned Ji Xiao a lot of attention.

"For you." Ji Xiao turned his head and grinned.

Zhang Xiang didn't ask anything, and reached out to take it.

"Wait a minute." Zhang Xiang said.

Ji Xiao was puzzled: "Huh?"

After a while, Zhang Xiang came back and stuffed a bouquet of roses into Ji Xiao's arms.

"This is?"

"The boss said that this flower is the best seller today."

"Hey, don't just give away roses today, don't you know what special day it is?"

Ji Xiao couldn't laugh or cry.

"I know, today is Valentine's Day."

"I sent you flowers because I... like you."

"I came here to wait for you."

Ji Xiao laughed when he heard this: "Don't be kidding, I have a girlfriend."

"Break up and stay with me."

"I like girls."

"You can treat me like a girl."

"Are you sick? We took it out all the same, and still treated you as a girl. Hey, enough of you, I'm going home." Ji Xiao put the flowers on the ground.

"I don't want this from you."

"I'll give you time to think about it," Zhang Xiang said.

This really doesn't look like a joke, Zhang Xiang's eyes are greedily exploiting every inch of Ji Xiao, his face is full of desire and sadness.

Ji Xiao was at a loss for words, no one had ever boldly expressed that he wanted to pursue him, and besides, he was a man.

Zhang Xiang stood in front of Ji Xiao for a while, then turned and left.The rose was lying on the spot, and one flower had lost two petals at Ji Xiao's feet.

Goodbye.

Just because of his aura of "stay away from strangers" and the terrifying focus of the beast when looking at the prey, he lied to him to have a girlfriend, but he seems to not follow that at all, he only cares about what he wants, and doesn't care about other people's resist.

why?

Who is he?

Ji Xiao frowned, finally knelt down and took out a rose from the bouquet, wrapped it in paper and put it in his schoolbag.

From then on, Zhang Xiang waited at the gate of Ji Xiao's school every day.

Ji Xiao pretended not to see, Zhang Xiang followed Ji Xiao all the way home, keeping a long distance, Zhang Xiang didn't bother Ji Xiao, just sent him home, watched him go home and then left.

This kind of life lasted for more than two months.

Ji Xiao was stared at by those sharp and hot eyes for more than two months.

One evening, Ji Chi told his parents seriously that he felt that his brother was mentally ill and suggested sending him to the hospital and locking him up.

Ji Chi's words happened to be heard by Ji Xiao, Ji Chi covered his eyes and prepared to be beaten, but Ji Xiao said with dark circles under his eyes, "I think so too."

The days of being stalked finally came to an end one day.

I sprained my ankle while playing ball at school, and as soon as I walked a few steps out of the school gate, the guy following behind quickly stepped forward, squatting down and lifting himself up without saying a word.

"I'll take you back."

The strength was frighteningly strong, and Ji Xiao had no way to resist when he tightly circled Ji Xiao on his back.

Ji Xiao didn't resist either.

It's hard to die, and it hurts the muscles and bones for half a month.

Zhang Xiang recited Ji Xiao for half a month.

When he was in school, Zhang Xiangshou stood at the entrance of the alley not far from home, and he was at the school gate after school, showing up more punctually than anyone else.

"Aren't you going to work?" Ji Xiao finally asked.

"I don't work."

"What is your job?"

"□□."

"Did you get beaten?" Ji Xiao burst out laughing.

Zhang Xiang didn't answer, Ji Xiao felt that Zhang Xiang must be embarrassed, so he stopped joking.

"If you're with me, I won't let anyone have a chance to hit me." Zhang Xiang said.

Ji Xiao was on Zhang Xiang's back, he couldn't see Zhang Xiang's eyes at this moment.

More than the original layer of sadness.

Another three months later, Zhang Xiang picked up and sent Ji Xiao no longer one after the other, but walked side by side.

"I've never dated a boy." Ji Xiao said.

"I've never been in a relationship," Zhang Xiang said.

"You said you liked me?" Ji Xiao asked.

"It was three months ago." Zhang Xiang replied.

"Now?"

"It's love. I love you, Ji Xiao."

"You're crazy."

Zhang Xiang bought a lot of flowers and popsicles for Ji Xiao, and sent him home until Ji Xiao poked his head out of the balcony window to say goodbye to him.

Ji Xiao didn't say he liked him either.

Ji Xiao knew by chance that Zhang Xiang's job was in the underworld.He told Zhang Xiang to find a serious job to do.Zhang Xiang refused. He said that those would not give him what he wanted.

Ji Xiao asked Zhang Xiang what he wanted.

Zhang Xiang said, climb up.

For a moment, Ji Xiao was a little scared.

The sadness in Zhang Xiang's eyes that looked at him faded away, and what filled the gap was ambition.

Zhang Xiang is still himself, but with the passage of time, something has changed. Ji Xiao doesn't know, but he can feel it.

Zhang Xiang didn't know what method he had used, and he had already sat on the second-in-command chair.

He started to give Ji Xiao a lot of money, but Ji Xiao didn't ask for it.

Ji Xiao cleaned up Zhang Xiang's bloody wound, but Zhang Xiang said he couldn't go to the hospital because it was a gunshot wound.

Zhang Xiang had already taken out the bullet by himself on the way.

Many years later, Ji Xiao was also shot in an operation, and he realized how much Zhang Xiang hurt before he passed out.

"You should change jobs."

"I will only do this, before and now."

"But your boss is dealing drugs! You are helping him, and you will be caught!"

"Then let them not catch it." Zhang Xiang said calmly.

"Skynet is full and sparse."

"Except you! I only want to fall into your hands."

Ji Xiao couldn't swallow such love words.

"Turn back, my family is very ordinary, I can't be thrilled with you."

Zhang Xiang suddenly stood up from the chair and turned his back to Ji Xiao: "Ji Xiao, I have reached this point, when I climb to the top, I will let you live the best life, no one can bully us. "

"I don't need it." Ji Xiao shook his head.

"No! You need to! You need to trample everyone down with me!"

Zhang Xiang smiled.

He smiled.

It was the first time Ji Xiao saw him laughing like this, it was almost crazy, almost ferocious, like a piranha swaying in the desert.

too frightening.

Ji Xiao rushed out of the door, he felt as if he had never known Zhang Xiang before.

He is the devil.

When he got home, Ji Xiao swept the fruit basket, ashtray and dishes on the table to the floor, while Ji Chi cried in fright.

"Why are you crying!" Ji Xiao scolded Ji Chi angrily.

With this sound, Ji Chi didn't dare to cry anymore, he just choked aside.

Ji Xiao walked over, leaned over and hugged Ji Chi as if his body had been emptied: "Brother is wrong, brother is wrong."

After that, Ji Xiao began to study desperately, he said he was going to be admitted to the police academy.

Sleep only two hours a day.

Parents asked him if he had come to his senses in the second semester of the third year of high school, and asked him to study with work and rest.

Ji Chi has seen Ji Xiao like that, so he won't tell his parents to put Ji Xiao in the hospital again.

The breakup was said after Ji Xiao got the admission notice from the police academy.

Zhang Xiang and Ji Xiao were lying side by side on the bed. They had done it several times just now. It was the first time that Ji Xiao asked not to wear a condom and let Zhang Xiang release it in the deepest part of his body.

Still warm.

"Zhang Xiang, let's break up. From now on, you will be a drug dealer and I will be a policeman. You can run away, but I will catch you myself when I become stronger."

"Why? Ji Xiao."

"I want to save you."

"Hey, don't be awkward, go to sleep."

"I only have two paths, one is to stay with you, and the other is to break up with you."

"Then be together."

"Zhang Xiang, this is a wrong question. No matter how I choose it, I will be wrong, so I will choose the one that is more like the correct answer."

"Haha, hahahaha, hahahahahahaha——" Zhang Xiang laughed suddenly, "Ji Xiao, you don't think I'm strong enough, do you? Then wait for me for a few years, and I'll come pick you up, okay?"

"Sleep, Zhang Xiang."

Go to sleep, Zhang Xiang.

Ji Xiao sat on the cliff by the sea holding Zhang Xiang's urn.

The waves crashed against the shore.

"Did I make a mistake in the original choice? If I stay by your side, our ending will be different?"

"But I can't choose anymore, I'm 28, not anymore."

"You said that if I hadn't been by your side that night, you would have died in the river and ended up in the sea because you love the sea. So I brought you here."

"If I don't save you, you won't hurt so many people. If I don't save you, we don't have so many pasts. So should I save you?"

"I will sing "A Thousand Miles of Bright Moon" to you every year from now on. I am tone deaf, so don't laugh at me."

"The popsicles are delicious. It's a taste that both Ji Chi and I like. There are no more for sale now. That ice cream factory has closed down."

"It's been a long time since I ate popsicles. The root cause of my illness, my rheumatism, is getting worse and worse. I might not be able to be a policeman anymore."

"If it weren't for this, the bureau wouldn't let my application for job change be successful, heh."

Ji Xiao looked at the last ray of red in the sky.

"I want to open a flower shop, but I don't sell roses."

"I hate roses the most."

"I love you the most."
