Brother Chuan

Since then, "Chuan Ge Malatang" has become a shelter for Daqiang when the gangsters are looking for trouble.In the daytime, Daqiang also often rides his beloved car, a motorcycle named "Shuck", to the shop to help out, and according to him, he wants to "repay the boss for saving his life."In fact, Brother Chuan didn't need any help at all, and when he came, he just sat down and chatted with Brother Chuan.

Chat content such as-

"Boss, how old are you?"

"27."

"Two years older than me. But to be honest, you look quite small. It's the kind of... that word those little girls like to say now... just little fresh meat. Really, boss. Hey, yes Well, then I can also call you Brother Chuan."

"I don't mind calling you Dad."

"Then I have to ask my old father if he agrees."

Another example--

"Brother Chuan, can you lend me your DVD?"

"Which one?"

"Whatever, don't you put a bunch of them there? By the way, when I first came back, I saw a cover that seemed to be of two men. What is it called? It feels like a western. You bring it to me. Shall I take a look?"

"..."

"Choose something else."

"What's wrong? Can't you see this?"

"Well, you are too young to watch this."

"Hey! You are only two years older than me, why are you pretending to be so old with me?"

"Change it to another one, or I won't borrow it."

"Okay, okay, I'll change, it's okay to change."

In fact, it was just nonsense, babbling, and it just passed by day by day.

Most of the time, it was Daqiang's stand-up comedy performance alone, while Brother Chuan lay lazily on the wicker chair with half-closed eyes, occasionally answering a few words.

Sometimes Brother Chuan fell asleep after listening to it, and Daqiang could talk to his sleeping face all day long.

Anyway, Daqiang works the night shift and has nowhere to go during the day.Brother Chuan has no relatives or friends, and he also finds it quite interesting to chat with someone as enthusiastic as Daqiang.

As time passed, the two became more and more familiar, and getting along with each other became more and more natural.

One night three months later.It was just after twelve o'clock.

"Brother Chuan!"

Knocking on the door in the middle of the night, Brother Chuan tried to figure out who it was with his toes.

Opening the door sleepily, Daqiang rushed in with a gust of cold wind.

Brother Chuan couldn't help shivering.

The two entered the back room together.

"Why are you here at this time? Didn't you go to work today?" Brother Chuan asked as he burrowed into the bed, wrapped himself up into a ball, and curled up on the bed.

"I asked for leave with the manager." Daqiang sat on the chair beside the bed, watching Brother Chuan's movements with some amusement.Suddenly, as if remembering something unpleasant, his face suddenly became a little depressed.

"Hey, my parents found me a blind date, let me meet today."

"Aren't you only 25? In such a hurry?"

"Who knows what the second elder thinks, anyway, I don't plan to get married just like this."

"That?"

"Eat a meal, it's nothing anyway."

"Is this just finished eating?"

"No, it's over a long time ago. I guess the other party didn't like me, but who knew that when I went back, I was criticized and educated by my mother as soon as I walked in the door, and I had to find a date quickly. You said, find a date these days How can it be so easy? I couldn't help but talk to her. Hey, who would want to drive me out with a broom to sleep on the street when my mother gets angry! Brother Chuan, you have to help me! "The 1.9-meter tall man grabbed his arm like a child, with a pitiful expression on his face.

Brother Chuan was very helpless.

"How can I help you? I can't be your object—"

"Hey?" Daqiang's eyes lit up instantly, "What a great idea!"

Brother Chuan instantly drew three black lines on his head.

"forget it."

"Farewell, Brother Chuan," Daqiang didn't listen to those things at all, and held on to the topic, "You look so good-looking, and you wear a wig and make-up, you must be a peerless beauty, Brother Chuan , and then the two of us take a photo and show it to my mother, won’t the matter be resolved? Right?” Da Qiang blinked at him expectantly.

"To you!" Brother Chuan categorically refused.

"Brother Chuan, you old man can't just leave him alone!" Daqiang shook his arm desperately, tears glistening from his eyes.

This set is not commensurate with his own body type, where did this guy learn the act of coquettishness that breaks through the sky?

Kawaii shojo manga?

Brother Chuan secretly vomited blood and felt pain in his arm.

"release."

Brother Chuan gave him a look at the knife, and Daqiang obediently let go.

Probably because he felt that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, Daqiang coughed lightly and broke the silence first.

"I'm sorry bro, I'm just joking, don't take it seriously, bro. I have to find a girl if I want to. Haha, right?"

Brother Chuan suddenly felt weird and awkward.

Daqiang saw that his face was stiff and silent, and he felt a little uncertain.

"Brother Chuan, are you really angry?" He tentatively tried.

"No." Brother Chuan took a deep breath, and wrapped the little quilt around his body tighter. "Go and help me find the DVD in the counter."

"Why do you suddenly want to watch a movie?"

"Don't talk nonsense, let you take it."

"Oh." Daqiang obediently went out and took all the stack of DVDs from the counter, and put them on the bed.

Brother Chuan took out one.

"Haven't you always wanted to see this?"

On the cover, there are two men's staggered profiles. Behind them, under the sky, a distant mountain surrounded by smoke seems real and unreal.

It's Brokeback Mountain.

Brother Chuan threw the DVD on Daqiang's lap.

"There's a small TV outside, watch it, I'm asleep." After speaking, he covered the quilt over his head, turned over and lay down.

The next day, Brother Chuan was still asleep when someone shook him awake.

Opening his eyes in a daze, he saw Daqiang staring at him blankly with two big dark circles under his eyes.

"Brother Chuan, let me tell you something." It was rare for Daqiang not to have a playful smile.

"Say."

"It's...that...you..." Daqiang couldn't open his mouth.

"Yes."

Daqiang was stunned. "Brother Chuan, I haven't asked yet."

"Aren't you embarrassed to speak?" Brother Chuan sighed, "Okay, you can ask."

"Aren't you..." Seeing Brother Chuan give him a blank look, he slapped the bed with a slap as if he loosened his grip, "Fuck, you already know what I'm going to ask."

After a while, he scratched his head as if he had just realized it.

"Brother Chuan, you are really that one."

"Do you mind?"

"No, no, that's not what I mean. I just think you... usually can't see it."

Brother Chuan stretched himself.

"Have you been up all night thinking about this?"

"No, Brother Chuan." Daqiang began to hesitate again, "There are more."

"Speak up if you have something to say, what are you talking about." Brother Chuan cast a glance at him.

Da Qiang closed his eyes and gave it up, he couldn't sleep without asking.

"You...do you like me?"

"..." What kind of magical brain circuit is this child?

Brother Chuan smiled and patted Daqiang on the shoulder, making a good gesture for the two brothers.Even he himself didn't notice what the uncomfortable feeling in his heart was.

"Son, you really think too much."

"Then why did you show me—"

"I didn't show you the calcium tablets again. It's just to remind you, don't make that kind of joke on people like me in the future." Brother Chuan frowned slightly, as if suddenly recalling something, the expression on his face flashed become gloomy.

But those who listened to him obviously missed the point.

"What about calcium tablets?"

Brother Chuan helped his forehead.

"It's nothing."

In the early winter morning, the cold fog seemed to be an unknown powerful force, covering everything irresistibly, so the two people in the room couldn't even hear each other's heartbeat clearly.

What Daqiang didn't tell Brother Chuan was that that night, when Ennis and Jack hugged each other and rolled on the grass and kissed each other on TV that night, what flashed through his mind was Brother Chuan's expressionless face.
