silent age

After being kissed by Lin Heng at the racecourse, Bai Sihuan couldn't calm down for several days, and couldn't concentrate on the questions, and couldn't help but think back to the scene of that day.

That night, when he recalled the way Lin Heng kissed him, and the feeling of kissing him, he had a reaction that he had never had before.I was shocked for a while, I didn't know what to do, and I didn't dare to go to Lin Heng. In the winter, I took several cold showers.

On the third day, a distinguished guest came to the Lin family. The guest was a fat middle-aged man, and the guest was a tall and thin man.

The Lins and his wife called the middle-aged man "Mr. Zhu", and the tall and thin man was Lin Huan's nephew Shen Ying, the cousin of the Lin family's children.

Bai Sihuan heard that this cousin, Shen Ying, was ten years older than her eldest sister, Lin Musheng.

Lin Huan had many children in his previous generation, and he was the last child born here, so Lin Huan's age was only eleven or twelve years younger than his elder nephew.

Today's dinner, none of the children of the Lin family can eat at the table.

Lin Huan, Cheng Sutang, cousin Shen Ying, and Mr. Zhu were the only four people on the wide and long dining table.

The servant came out after serving the dishes, closed the glass sliding door of the dining room, lowered the bamboo curtain, and hid the meal of the four behind the hazy bamboo curtain.

Bai Sihuan had finished his meal, and when he passed the restaurant, he saw a gap in the bamboo curtain, and through the glass door, he saw that the four people inside had also finished their meal.

The housekeeper Lao Pei went in and neatly placed five large boxes of cigarettes on the table, including tobacco, cigarettes, and hookah.Then, he took out five sets of smoking sets with different materials and placed them next to the cigarettes one by one.

Lin Huan chose a pack of cigarettes wrapped in gold and a set of ivory smoking sets.

The housekeeper took out four cigarettes, four ivory cigarette holders, and put them on one by one, from expensive to guest to host, and handed them out one by one.

After the cigarettes were lit, several people were smoking and chatting about something while laughing.Mr. Zhu pointed at the colorful eyebrows of the cigarette, as if he was praising the quality of this cigarette, so Cheng Sutang gave Lao Pei a few words.Lao Pei nodded, opened the glass door and came out.

The voice of Mr. Zhu inside was brought out: "As expected, it is a gift from heaven! It tastes good! Hahaha!"

Old Pei went upstairs, and after a while, he brought two limited-edition Yellow Crane Towers. Bai Sihuan had an impression of the cigarettes. In the study the day before yesterday, Lin Huan and Cheng Sutang exchanged the contents for banknotes, thousands of yuan. Throw all the cigarettes in the trash can.

Holding the two "cigarettes" to enter the door, Lao Pei didn't pull the sliding door properly this time, so Bai Sihuan could clearly hear the voice inside.

The guest held the two cigarettes in his hand, grinning up to his ears: "It's really heavy."

Cheng Sutang sneered, said a few words of politeness, and then turned to the topic, with a soft tone: "I'm going to retire soon, and before I leave, I always want to leave something behind. Not for myself, but also for the children and grandchildren of this house .”

Mr. Zhu continued to smoke the unfinished cigarette just now, and said enviously: "I really envy the two of you who are full of children and grandchildren, unlike me, who is still a lonely family."

Seeing that he was deliberately going around the topic, his cousin Shen Ying joined the conversation: "Mr. Zhu, to be honest, you have heard of my aunt, Cheng Sutang, and almost no one who works in this industry outside has not heard of it." I mentioned her name. The business you saw recently abroad, my aunt’s identity and contacts can all come in handy... But you also know that her identity always has sensitive aspects, some bright jobs , we have to..."

Before Bai Sihuan finished listening to a sentence, Lin Heng suddenly appeared.

He seemed to have been looking for Bai Sihuan for a long time. When he saw Bai Sihuan, he frowned and asked, "What are you looking at here?" Before Bai Sihuan could answer, Lin Heng took his hand, "Come upstairs with me. "

Bai Sihuan took one last look at the dining room door. At this time, the butler had noticed movement outside, and came up to close the door tightly, and the bamboo curtain was drawn tightly.

Lin Heng brought Bai Sihuan back to the room, and the two lay on the bed. Lin Heng let out a breath, but still did not let go of Bai Sihuan's hand.

Bai Sihuan stared at the plaster lines on the ceiling, did not withdraw his hand, listened to each other's breathing, remained silent, and did not know what was going on in his mind.

Lin Heng skillfully turned over and hugged him, and asked half pleadingly: "Should you stay in the university and study locally?"

Faced with Lin Heng's sudden question, Bai Sihuan was taken aback for a moment, without a complete answer in his mind: "I haven't figured it out yet, I'll talk about it after the exam."

This ambiguous answer made Lin Heng very dissatisfied: "You never thought about it, you went to another place, what should I do?"

"I..." Bai Sihuan didn't know how to answer.

In the past, he just wanted to leave this place and go to a place farther away.But now, he and Lin Heng suddenly had such a relationship, and his heart was not as firm as before.

Seeing that he was hesitating and unable to answer, Lin Heng closed his eyes and said, "Forget it, I will go wherever you go, that's all."

After lying in the room for a while, Bai Sihuan said that he had left something and was going downstairs to get it, so Lin Heng followed him downstairs.

The two went downstairs and heard movement in the hall.

Lin Xianyan came back from secretly painting outside, accidentally ran into Mr. Zhu who was about to leave, rubbed his paint all over, and is now apologizing to Mr. Zhu under Cheng Sutang's nose.

Lin Heng didn't miss any chance to mock his second sister in front of Bai Sihuan: "Second sister is always reckless, this time she's dead."

Seeing Cheng Sutang staring at Lin Xianyan fiercely, Bai Sihuan didn't dare to imagine how Lin Xianyan would be treated later, so he took Lin Heng's arm and begged, "Can you go and beg Aunt Cheng?"

Lin Heng looked at his pleading eyes, took a deep breath, and reluctantly said, "Okay—I'll go and intercede for my second sister later."

After Mr. Zhu left, Cheng Sutang wanted to teach Lin Xianyan a lesson, but at Bai Sihuan's request, Lin Heng went up to say a few words for Lin Xianyan, and Cheng Sutang let her go.

The next day, Lin Heng stopped Bai Sihuan on the first floor and said, "You haven't thanked me for what happened yesterday."

Bai Sihuan thought about it, and thought he was talking about Lin Xianyan.He didn't know what kind of thank you Lin Heng wanted, so he said thank you politely.

He walked up the stairs, and Lin Heng followed him, quickly kissed him on the cheek, leaned into his ear and said, "Next time you ask me to do something like this, remember to give me a kiss."

Bai Sihuan was taken aback, blushing and looking around, afraid of being seen.

Fortunately, Cheng Sutang was concentrating on the phone on the second floor and didn't notice the scene on the stairs.

Bai Sihuan couldn't get angry with Lin Heng, and said in a panic, "You...don't act like this next time in this kind of place!"

Lin Heng shrugged, acting indifferent.

Bai Sihuan didn't know what to say about him, so he hurried upstairs.

When they came to the second floor, Cheng Sutang's impatient pacing on the balcony became more and more audible. She said angrily: "It was clear that we had already discussed it at that time, but now we can't talk about it? The two yellow crane towers that I gave him last time Is the portion not enough? How much more does he want? What does he mean by being stuck here now? What? What do you say he wants?"

The next day, Lin Xianyan was pulled out by Cheng Sutang wearing a white dress.

At night, only Cheng Sutang came back.

After Cheng Sutang came back, he went straight to the top floor and didn't come down again for a few days.

The top floor of the house is a Buddhist hall, and no one can go up there except Cheng Sutang.Cheng Sutang will stay in the Buddhist hall for three days at the beginning of each month, and go to Thailand for three days at the end of each month. This is her habit and is very regular.

Fifteen years later, Lin Siying returned to Canada, Lin Huan went out to work, the atmosphere of the year gradually dissipated, and the Lin family became empty and deserted.

The day when the third year of high school started was getting closer, and Lin Heng became more and more clingy to Bai Sihuan. Whenever Bai Sihuan disappeared for a while, he would call for people everywhere.

At a young age, the relationship between the two boys is very pure.Lin Heng likes to hold Bai Sihuan's hand, feel the sunshine and study with him on the balcony, hug him to sleep at night, and kiss him from time to time.

The love that crosses the border is always blocked by the opposition that Bai Sihuan refuses to yield to.

Three days later, the snow stopped and the sun shone.Cheng Sutang came out of the Buddhist hall.He still held a string of Buddhist beads in his hand, and he was chanting "Ksitigarbha Sutra" in his mouth.

Lin Heng dragged Bai Sihuan to go out for a stroll. He said that Bai Sihuan used to drive Lin Xianyan by bicycle, but he hadn't driven him before, so he felt unbalanced.

When they were going out, they bumped into the eldest sister Lin Musheng who rushed in hastily.

Lin Musheng's face was pale, and when he bumped into them, he squeezed a stiff smile on his face, and asked Lin Heng: "Ah Heng, how are you doing recently?"

When Lin Heng was very young, Lin Musheng was kicked out of the house because he wanted to marry a poor boy who set up a street stall, so Lin Heng didn't have a deep relationship with her.

Facing her concerned greetings, she just replied lukewarmly: "It's fine, Mom is inside. We're going out for a while, let's go first."

Lin Heng took Bai Sihuan out, and Lin Musheng went in to find Cheng Sutang.

Within 5 minutes, Bai Sihuan heard Lin Musheng going crazy in the living room, screaming repeatedly: "Isn't this enough for me! Isn't this enough for me!"

Bai Sihuan asked worriedly, "Are Eldest Sister and Aunt Cheng alright?"

Lin Heng told Bai Sihuan not to worry: "Every time she comes here, she can't ask for money, so it's not surprising." He pushed Bai Sihuan and said, "Hurry up and get your bicycle out, let's go to the riverside for a walk. "

The two of them led their bicycles onto the road where the snow hadn't completely melted, and they walked for a while, until they reached the road where the snow had been swept clean before Bai Sihuan got on the bike.

Lin Heng was about 1.8 meters tall, and his weight was not in the same class as the petite Lin Xianyan. When he got on the back seat, Bai Sihuan felt obviously struggling.

Lin Heng put his arms around Bai Sihuan's waist unceremoniously. Although the back seat made him feel uncomfortable, he still enjoyed the process very much.

Riding to the riverside, the speed of the car slowed down significantly, Bai Sihuan was panting, white mist whirled in the air, and hit him in the face again.He said with difficulty: "I'm so tired, I can't ride anymore."

"You can't ride anymore after you've been riding for so long?" Lin Heng smiled heartlessly, "How did you take Ah Yan to and from school every day?"

Bai Sihuan said honestly: "She's much lighter than you... Speaking of which, I haven't seen her for several days, so I don't know where Aunt Cheng took her that day."

"What do you think of her when you're with me?" Lin Heng scratched his waist in displeasure.

Bai Sihuan shuddered from the tickle, and innocently muttered in a low voice: "Obviously you mentioned it first..."

Seeing that he was panting more and more quickly, Lin Heng jumped off the back seat and said, "Okay, okay, seeing you are so tired, you get down, let me take you."

"Oh, good." Bai Sihuan stopped the car, got out of the car slowly, and handed the bicycle to Lin Heng.

Lin Heng rode the bike, and Bai Sihuan sat in the back seat.As soon as the pedal was stepped on, the two fell together.

Lin Heng had never ridden a bicycle before.
