silent age

When Bai Sihuan came back this time, he became much calmer.I no longer always want to go home like before, and I don’t cry secretly because I can’t integrate into this family.

Occasionally meeting Cheng Sutang, calling out "Aunt Cheng" in a polite manner, hearing Cheng Sutang's sarcasm, or being ignored by her, I am used to it, and will not take it too seriously.

The two years when he returned to live in the old alley let Bai Sihuan know that it is useless to change the environment. During these years of growth, he has learned a lot of truths. As long as he does not change himself, no matter where he goes, his life will be like this .

Lin Heng began to treat him better, and he always got a share of any good things.High school is busy with studies, Bai Sihuan still lives on campus, and when he goes home to live in the holidays, it is in time for the rainy season in June and July.

Bai Sihuan's room sees little light, the place is damp, and the bed covers are all moldy.It rained continuously in those few days, and it was impossible to take it out to dry in the sun. When Lin Heng came to Bai Sihuan's room, the musty smell that hit his face made him frown completely.

He couldn't believe that the Lin family still had such a place.

Lin Heng asked Bai Sihuan to sleep in his room at night, but Bai Sihuan hesitated and couldn't make up his mind, and asked: "There should be a new bed at home, right?"

Lin Heng said: "The new bed quilts are only used by the guests. Your quilts can be used after washing and drying, and there is no need for new ones."

Fortunately, Lin Xianyan didn't hear this, otherwise her jaw would have dropped in shock, this younger brother who usually never knew how to write the word "thrifty" would say something like "it can still be used".

Bai Sihuan, who was used to being poor, felt that what Lin Heng said was very reasonable, and felt quite ashamed of his "luxury" thoughts.Still undecided about Lin Heng's kind invitation: "If Aunt Cheng knows..."

"If you are told to go, you will go, so much nonsense." Lin Heng was impatient, and said to him again in a warning tone, "Come to my room at night, do you hear me? Dare you come and try."

Bai Sihuan remembered the time when he didn't listen to his words and was beaten up by him, and couldn't help being terrified. Thinking of his cruel expression at that time, he still has lingering fear in his heart.

At night, after a long ideological struggle, Bai Sihuan finally stepped into Lin Heng's room awkwardly.

Lin Heng had been waiting a little anxiously for a long time, and when he saw Bai Sihuan finally came, he immediately drove Karen who was lying next to him out of bed.

Lin Heng was only wearing a white vest, and his strong chest was clearly visible.In addition to still being a bit willful in his personality, Bai Sihuan can see that he has grown and changed a lot.

"Why are you here now? I'm almost sleepy." Lin Heng pretended to yawn, but he didn't look tired at all.

Bai Sihuan said, "You can sleep first."

"If I fall asleep and you come in again, I will be woken up by you. My sleep quality is not good, and I can't fall asleep if there is any movement." Lin Heng said, "Come early next time, do you hear me?"

"next time?"

Lin Heng gave a "hmm" of course: "It will rain for several days, and your quilt and sheets will not be dried until the sunny day. Of course, you will sleep with me these few days."

"Oh." Bai Sihuan didn't refute, and slowly climbed onto the bed, stretching his body into a line.

Lin Heng still had the bad habit of sleeping with something in his arms at night, and with Bai Sihuan next to him, he hugged Bai Sihuan to sleep.

Karen lay on the ground, aggrieved to see that the place that once belonged to it now belonged to someone else, and curled up in a ball to get used to its new nest.

The sky was overcast for days, and it rained continuously for nearly two weeks.

At noon that day, Lin Xianyan went out to study painting. When he came back, his umbrella was crushed by people on the bus. After getting off the bus, he ran back with a drawing board to cover the rain. He fell on the road and fell into a puddle.

Bai Sihuan, who had just bought a tutorial book, saw it when he came back, so he went to help her up and drove her home.

In the following days, Bai Sihuan would send Lin Xianyan to learn painting every day, and then pick her up on time.

The two of them didn't say much along the way, they seemed to have found a subtle resonance, and Lin Xianyan was able to rely on this quiet resonance.

This kind of emotion grew day by day in Lin Xianyan's heart, and it magnified to the point where it was hard to hold back. Under the first ray of sunlight that pierced through the dark clouds, she leaned against Bai Sihuan's thin back.

Lin Heng saw this scene in the room, and that afternoon, he came to talk with the second sister who didn't get along well with him, and had a good talk about how she went to and from school.

Lin Heng generously lent out his driver: "The driver has nothing to do at noon, you can ask him to take you to learn painting."

"You want me to be scolded by mom? You know mom hates other people using the same thing as you."

"If she wants to know that you secretly learned to paint, won't she still scold you? Originally, you did it without telling her about it. Are you afraid of hiding it?"

"I'm motion sick and I'm not used to sitting."

Lin Xianyan refused to accept his kindness and insisted on refusing.

After all, they are a family, who can't figure out what the two of them are thinking?

Lin Xianyan's work here was fruitless, so Lin Heng naturally approached Bai Sihuan: "I asked someone to buy her a bicycle, so she can go to and from school by herself in the future."

Bai Sihuan said: "She doesn't know how to ride a bicycle at all."

Lin Heng was taken aback. As siblings who have lived together for so many years, this was the first day he knew that Lin Xianyan couldn't even ride a bicycle.

Thinking that Bai Sihuan knew her better than himself, Lin Heng's heart was filled with anger: "If you don't know how to ride, you can learn how to ride. Why don't you learn how to drive when you grow up?"

"How can she have time to study now?" Only Bai Sihuan knew that she spent more time on the road every day than learning painting.When I came back, I had to be busy with my studies, so I didn't have the time to learn how to ride a bicycle.Bai Sihuan said, "Anyway, I don't have anything special, I just want to exercise every day."

The two refused one after the other, making Lin Heng's efforts all in vain.Lin Heng was bored and annoyed, but he didn't know who to vent his emotions to and how to vent them. Perhaps he didn't understand such emotions very well.Only when he touches Bai Sihuan on the same bed every night, can he make sure that Bai Sihuan's mind is still clear and clear, so that he can feel a little relieved.

However, there was an accident, the rainy season stopped early this year, and the servants washed and dried the quilts and sheets in Bai Sihuan's room. Bai Sihuan didn't have to go to Lin Heng's room to sleep, but he still insisted on picking up and dropping off Lin Xianyan every day.

Lin Heng's boredom arose in large numbers with the disappearance of the rainy season. On a day when his parents were not at the dinner table, the emotions piled up to the point of explosion. Just because Lin Xianyan whispered something in Bai Sihuan's ear, Lin Heng threw the bowl and got up and left. I didn't eat any food.

Bai Sihuan didn't understand why he was angry, and thought that he accidentally tripped over Karen that day and made him angry.

In the face of Lin Heng's anger, Bai Sihuan never took the initiative to apologize, but would only try to stay as far away from him as possible, be cautious in his words and deeds in front of him, and slowly wait until his anger subsides.

One day, seeing Lin Heng going downstairs from afar, Bai Sihuan, who was about to go upstairs, turned his head and wanted to find a place to hide.

"stop."

Lin Heng's voice floated down from the sky, Bai Sihuan's legs were caught by his order, and he stood still.

Lin Heng went down the stairs slowly, and slowly walked around in front of him: "Why did you leave as soon as you saw me?"

"I'm afraid you will see me angry."

Probably because he never thought that the answer he had been struggling with for so many days would be such an answer, Lin Heng was slightly startled, and the expression on his face suddenly turned into a sneer: "Oh, I won't be angry if you stay with Ah Yan less."

Bai Sihuan anxiously explained: "I didn't spoil her."

"Who said you spoiled her?" Lin Heng found that Bai Sihuan could always say something that baffled him.

Bai Sihuan lowered his eyes, and said in a low voice, "Aunt Cheng always said that I am afraid that you will be influenced by me and learn from me."

"Listen to her nonsense." Lin Heng popped out this sentence almost without thinking, "You... you seldom spend time with her anyway. She is also the well-known second daughter of the Lin family, and she is always with you What does it look like? If my mother sees it, let alone you, she should have half of her leg broken by my mother first. Do you understand? Why did you lower your head like this and raise it up again. "

Lin Heng pinched Bai Sihuan's chin with his hand and raised his head.

He saw Bai Sihuan's expression was full of guilt and a trace of forbearance, his body was like a young hedgehog in danger, trembling while trying to erect all his spines that were not yet hard enough.

Lin Heng's heart moved, he lowered his chin and said, "Anyway, you should listen to me carefully."

"Listen to me", this seems to be the idea that Lin Heng wants to instill in him for the rest of his life, Bai Sihuan is unknowingly enveloped by such thoughts, as long as Lin Heng says "Listen to me" in everything, he will have no choice but to follow Lin Heng's wishes Do.

A week before the start of school, Lin Heng rarely showed shyness and shame in front of Bai Sihuan. He took Bai Sihuan's hand and asked softly, "Tomorrow, will you go out with me tomorrow?"

Bai Sihuan was made a little uncomfortable by his sudden gentleness, and almost blurted out the word "good".But soon, he thought of the review he had to do and sent Lin Xianyan to learn painting, and said with a troubled face: "But tomorrow I have to..."

Seeing that he wanted to refuse, Lin Heng shook his hand and said pitifully, "Please, brother. It will be fine tomorrow afternoon, just stay with me..."

This was the first time Lin Heng acted coquettishly with Bai Sihuan, and while Bai Sihuan was greatly frightened, his heart beat violently.

He asked carefully: "What do you want me to do with you?"

Lin Heng almost told him the answer, opened and closed his mouth slightly, and said mysteriously: "You will know tomorrow."
