Lin Dong used to sleep on his side when he came back every year, and there were even a lot of Lin Dong's previous clothes in the closet, all neatly folded, exuding the scent of the clothes after being washed.

Lin Dong stood in front of the closet and touched the soft clothes inside. Hearing the silence behind him, he couldn't help but look back.

Jiang Xiao was sitting on the edge of the bed, looking at him intently.

Lin Dong tightened his grip on the cloth in his hands, and heard a sound coming from the door. Lin Dong turned his head and found that it was grandma who closed the door lightly for them.

The space is airtight, and for a while there are only the slight sound of the air conditioner and the chirping of summer cicadas outside the window.

Lin Dong pretended to be open-minded, stepped up to the bed first, and lay down on one side with the quilt rolled up.Jiang Xiao stood up and walked to the window, holding the curtains with his hands.

"What are you doing?" Lin Dong asked him.

"Won't it be very bright if you don't pull the curtains up?" Jiang Xiao said with a force on his hands, and the blackout curtains were drawn directly with a slam, blocking the original bright light at noon from the window, leaving only the drowsiness in the room bright.

"But," Lin Dong wanted to say but couldn't say the second half of the sentence, but after pulling up the curtain, he became more nervous.

Jiang Xiao walked to the side of the bed and stood condescendingly on the side close to Lin Dong. Lin Dong shrank back quietly.Jiang Xiao leaned forward slowly, and Lin Dong moved further back, until Jiang Xiao's hand suddenly supported the side of Lin Dong's face with force, covering him completely.

Lin Dong seemed to be frightened, and subconsciously closed his eyes, but he didn't feel the weight of Jiang Xiao's body pressing on him, but heard a chuckle.

Lin Dong slowly opened his eyes, but saw Jiang Xiao holding a pillow that was originally placed on the other side of the bed.

Jiang Xiao sat cross-legged by the bed, "The floor in the room is very clean, if you mind, I can sleep on the floor."

He hugged the pillow in his arms, and sat on the ground again. Without the pressure Ju Gao put on Lin Dong, he became a little more obedient.

In this way, Lin Dong felt that he was making a fuss.

He looked at the floor, then looked back at the position behind him, and softened again, "Either, or you should sleep on the bed."

What a pitiful place to sleep on the floor.

"But aren't you uncomfortable?" Jiang Xiao didn't move, but leaned against the bed, put his head on the edge of the bed, and looked at Lin Dong's head on the pillow.

"Isn't it because of you..." Lin Dong complained in a low voice, pulling down the quilt that wrapped him a little, "I keep saying weird things."

The flesh on Lin Dong's face was pressed softly against the edge of the pillow, Jiang Xiao's eyes fell on it, and he felt his heart soften, and the uneven edges and corners all over his body disappeared for a short time because of Lin Dong.

"It doesn't matter if you sleep on the ground." Jiang Xiao said, "Actually, the difference between the bed and the bed is only the difference in height. We are still very close, so I am actually very happy."

The more I say it, the more wrong it becomes.

Lin Dong frowned and asked Jiang Xiao seriously: "You look like a green tea now."

"What is green tea?" Jiang Xiao asked.

Don't know?Lin Dong became interested, so he changed from lying down to sitting up, cleared his throat and said to Jiang Xiao, "I'll imitate one for you."

"Why is your boyfriend like this? Like me, I don't care so much. I will support whatever my boyfriend likes. What's wrong with playing a few more games? Brother, I will help you." After Lin Dong finished speaking, he couldn't help himself. He fell down from laughing first, then tilted his head to meet Jiang Xiao who was full of smiles in his eyes, and asked him again, "Do you understand, this is how you talk sometimes."

"Anyway, you should not sleep on the floor," the two joked a few times, Lin Dong relaxed again, he moved back, and patted the empty space in front of him, "You sleep here, Let's go out when the sun is not so bright."

Jiang Xiao then stood up, put the pillow back on the bed, lay down beside Lin Dong, and at the same time grasped Lin Dong's hand tightly.

Lin Dong moved but didn't pull out his hand. He just distributed some of his quilt to Jiang Xiao, "I'm going to sleep."

"En." Jiang Xiao responded in a low voice, closing his eyes before Lin Dong.

Lin Dong then closed his eyes, and soon fell asleep.

Jiang Xiao opened his eyes after a moment.He lay flat on the not-so-wide double bed, and when his legs stretched out and touched the end of the bed, his heels almost felt suspended.Whether the decoration or the furnishings of this room is good, they are all simple and rustic, which is very different from the Jiang family.The soundproofing of the windows is not good, the cicadas outside the window sing warmly about the summer, there are old people walking around outside the door and the sound of the opera channel on the TV.

But what makes Jiang Xiao feel most concerned and at ease is the even breathing of the people around him.

Jiang Xiao closed his eyes.

The midsummer with cicadas singing so piercingly only existed sporadically in Jiang Xiao's childhood memory.

"The little one is always left at home, and the older one will come back after summer vacation. I don't know whether the child was born for me or for them." The old woman's nagging came from the kitchen without any concealment. Pass it out.

Little Jiang Xiao stood in the room and looked out secretly, turning a deaf ear to the old woman's scolding, just looking at the dark-faced little Jiang Qi outside the door.

He didn't spend much time with his brother, so he was not familiar with him at this time.But Jiang Xiao, who never fit in well at his grandparents' house, still regards Jiang Qi as his own.

He ran to Jiang Qi's side in small steps and grabbed his arm: "Brother, don't listen to her, we can play together."

Jiang Qi is also young and rarely suffers wronged. He is not used to it like Jiang Xiao. He looked at him with red eyes and said, "I don't want to be here anymore. I will ask my father to take me back."

As he said that, he turned his head and ran out, not knowing where he went.

Jiang Xiao chased him out and stood in the yard, and a group of children came running to the door, playing in disgrace, and when he saw him standing in the yard, he smiled and asked him: "Xiao Xiao, let's catch Cicada together. "

"Oh." Jiang Xiao didn't see where Jiang Qi went, so he followed his usual playmate.

The playmate quickly shifted the topic to Jiang Qi, and complained to Jiang Xiao: "Your brother doesn't care about people, he doesn't look like us here at all, my mother said he can pretend just like your mother."

Jiang Xiao actually didn't know why he was irritated at that time, he just remembered that he grabbed the talking child, pressed him down on the muddy floor where it rained last night and still had stagnant water, and beat him hard several times. The fart boy was beaten and cried.Later, he was picked up by the parents who learned that the children were fighting and rushed over.

Jiang Xiao didn't feel relieved, and even threw himself on the ground to beat him up in the hands of his parents.In the end, when he returned home after the trouble, he was already in a state of panic.

Fighting Jiang Xiao did not stop fighting, and no matter how swearing outside, he went back to the room and washed it casually, and fell asleep in the room.

When he woke up, it was almost dark, and Jiang Xiao heard a familiar sound of a car.He jumped up and looked out of the window, and was surprised to find that the car that came was the one that his brother had brought over in the morning.

There was a beautiful woman standing outside the car door, a little strange, but she was indeed his mother.

His grandma was complaining to his mother about him: "It just so happened that you took the little one back with you. You're playing tricks with cats and dogs all day long, and you're really ruthless in fights."

Jiang Xiao looked at Jiang Qi standing next to Duan Li, and suddenly realized that Duan Li was going to take Jiang Qi back, and he wanted to stuff himself in there too.

Jiang Xiao didn't speak, but looked at Duan Li expectantly from the window sill.

Duan Li seemed to notice his gaze, and raised her eyes to meet him.Jiang Xiao couldn't help shrinking his head, but he didn't completely look away.

Duan Li withdrew her gaze and refused coldly: "We are all busy now, the two of us can't take care of each other. Jiang Qi is not used to staying here, but Jiang Xiao is used to it."

After she finished speaking, she caught a glimpse of the little head on the windowsill and retracted at some point.

Most of what Xia Tian left in Jiang Xiao's memory was not good memories.

Lin Dong woke up earlier than Jiang Xiao. When he sat up, Jiang Xiao was still sleeping next to him, but he didn't seem to sleep very peacefully.

I don't know if he dreamed of something, Jiang Xiao frowned slightly, and his body curled up towards Lin Dong.But even if he was curled up, the half of Jiang Xiao's position seemed too cramped for him, and his long legs were so aggrieved that he couldn't straighten them out.

And Jiang Xiao's beautiful eyes are pressing at this time, blocking the bright light inside, but no matter which piece of flesh on the face or body seems to know where it should grow perfectly.

Lin Dong was a little stunned. It was rare for him to have such a chance to watch Jiang Xiao quietly, so he focused on it now, and slightly bent down to take a closer look at Jiang Xiao.

Jiang Xiao's breath was long, and he could feel some warm breath when he got close.The mouth under the nose was red. Lin Dong remembered the times when Jiang Xiao kissed him, and the soft touch of the other party's lips reverberated in his mind at this time. Lin Dong couldn't help pursing his lips, a little bit wanting to kiss Jiang Xiao. .

Lin Dong turned his face away and glanced at the old Apple alarm clock on the bedside table. It was almost 03:30 in the afternoon.

Lin Dong thought about it in his heart, and decided to wake Jiang Xiao up.

With a small sound, Jiang Xiao felt his arm was pushed.He opened his eyes suddenly, but Lin Dong who was putting his hand on Jiang Xiao's arm was startled.Because the muscles on Jiang Xiao's arm under the palm suddenly stiffened.

"Did you sleep well?" Lin Dong sat beside Jiang Xiao and asked.When Jiang Xiao just opened his eyes, his eyes were a little cold, strange and full of distance.

Let Lin Dong lift up the hand that was originally on his body, and stare blankly at Jiang Xiao.

Being woken up suddenly, the discomfort brought by Jiang Xiao's memory-like dream has not completely dissipated, and the sudden sight of Lin Dong almost made him unable to distinguish between reality and memory.

The little apple alarm clock on the side reached 03:30, and suddenly the bell rang.

Is this waking up?

Lin Dong was not afraid, he just stretched out his hand to pat off the timer sound of the alarm clock, and sat down next to Jiang Xiao with his legs crossed, giving Jiang Xiao a choice, "If you are sleepy, you can sleep again, and I will go out and bring you delicious food." come back, okay?"

He had a very good temper, discussed with Jiang Xiao, got up and got out of bed to leave, and then stood on the ground, Jiang Xiao grabbed the hand by his side.The back of Jiang Xiao's hands were slightly cooled by the air conditioner, but his palms felt a little hot.

"No," Jiang Xiao said, "It's just that I had a nightmare just now. Where are you going, I will go with you."

"Nightmare," Lin Dong held Jiang Xiao's palm, "Are you afraid?"

"A little bit, but I won't be afraid when I see you." Jiang Xiao followed Lin Dong out of bed.

"You really know how to speak green tea." Lin Dong opened the door, and gently opened Jiang Xiao's hand. The figures of the two disappeared around the corner of the door, leaving only the voice of talking gradually going away.

"Does that count?"

"I say let it go!"

--

Grandpa and grandma are dozing off on the sofa at this time, the room is quiet, and the opera channel is still dutifully babbling and singing local operas.

Seeing this, Lin Dong and Jiang Xiao immediately stopped talking, and they walked downstairs lightly together.

The downstairs door was open, and the owner of the house didn't seem to be worried about any accidents.

The sun outside is still a bit strong. Although Lin Dong is not afraid of the sun, he is afraid of the heat.Seeing Lin Dong standing at the door of the room, Jiang Xiao paused, thinking that he was about to retreat, but he didn't expect Lin Dong to look back resolutely, and said to Jiang Xiao: "Give me the straw hat over there, and you take one yourself "

There are two woven straw hats hanging on the hook on the side, which are usually worn by grandpa and grandma when they are serving their vegetable fields.

Lin Dong first pressed one on Jiang Xiao's head, then put another on his own head, and then said with a smile: "Hey, it's for couples!"

Because of Lin Dong's words, Jiang Xiao had a smile on his face again. He slowed down and walked behind Lin Dong, watching patiently as Lin Dong insisted on walking along the side of the cement road after going out.

Lin Dong talked to Jiang Xiao without turning his head: "When I was a child, I would go to the wonton shop in the village to eat wontons at this time of the day. Today I will take you there and share the delicious food with you. "

The village where my grandparents live has a population of more than 1000. The wonton shop is not really a wonton shop, but a small shop in the village.It's just that the grandmother who runs the canteen will do the wonton business every afternoon.

When Lin Dong said this, Jiang Xiao seemed to see the little fleshy Lin Dong walking along this road humming and humming.

The canteen is not small, except for the two glass counters that look quite old, there are a few tables left for the old man to play horses, and a little further inside are two small tables for the wonton business.

At this time, it was very lively inside. A large TV was placed high up and was broadcasting family ethics dramas, and several old people looked up to watch TV.

Almost all the people sitting in the room were old people, and there were also a few children the size of peas running back and forth, breaking the quiet atmosphere from time to time.

Lin Dong led Jiang Xiao in through the back door and sat down at the wonton table.

"Grandma!" Lin Dong yelled at one of the old people watching TV, "I want two bowls of wontons."

Hearing the sound, the old man stood up, looked over from a distance, and smiled when he saw Lin Dong: "Dongdong, did you come back today?"

"Well, I came back today," Lin Dong helped Jiang Xiao take off the straw hat, and introduced him, "This is my friend, named Xiao Xiao."

"Is your surname Xiao?"

"My surname is Jiang, and my name is Jiang Xiao." Lin Dong patiently explained, "That's why it's called Xiao Xiao."

The old lady stood in front of the faucet and washed her hands carefully. Hearing Lin Dong's words, she repeated to him, "Oh, my surname is Jiang, but my name is Xiao Xiao."

Lin Dong was so happy that he didn't forcefully argue with the old man, and just watched the old lady's movements with one hand on his chin.

The old lady was a little confused, but she wrapped wontons very neatly.She opened a small drawer, and took out a stack of wonton wrappers and a plate of finely chopped meat from it as if by magic, with her fingertips fluttering, a pile of small wontons as thin as cicada's wings appeared in one fell swoop.

The water in the small pot on the other side is slowly being heated by firewood.

The spices on Lin Dong's table moved closer to him, "I'll add a little later."

The wontons were quickly wrapped and put into boiling water. They were scalded almost instantly and put into the pre-prepared seasoning bowl.The steaming wonton was placed in front of the two by a pair of old but steady hands.

Lin Dong was busy adding vinegar and chopped peppers to the bowl, and he didn't forget to ask Jiang Xiao, "Do you want to add it?"

Jiang Xiao didn't care about hot and sour, but when Lin Dong asked him, he nodded and asked Lin Dong to add a little to everything in the bowl.

It’s actually very hot to eat small wontons in summer, but the old house feels extra cool.After the two of them started eating, the two children were greedy, and they begged their grandparents for two bowls of wontons.

It didn't take long for the two children to sit opposite Lin Dong and Jiang Xiao.

When Jiang Xiao looked up, he could see the two children who were enduring the hot food, sucking and sucking, and when he turned his face, he could see Lin Dong who was almost the same as the children, but after eating half a bowl, Lin Dong's mouth was a little red .

"Let's go swimming in a while." Lin Dong said while eating, "Grandpa said that this year the village has set up a swimming pool for children, and the villagers can play for free."

It is also because there were too many accidents in the past two years when children played in the water during the summer vacation. Although there were no such incidents in the village, they were always worried.Last year, the efficiency of the village-run enterprises was very good, so they set up a swimming place for the children in the village.

"Brother, we'll be going soon." A little girl sitting across from them spoke to Lin Dong with a smile, "I'm learning to swim."

"A pretty girl like you will definitely learn it soon." Lin Dong said with a smile.

The little girl laughed with a blushing face.

The little boy next to the little girl raised his hand and begged Lin Dong for praise: "I can hold my breath already!"

"It's great!" Lin Dong immediately applauded.

He made the short legs of the two children dangle under the table together.

After Lin Dong ate his wontons and drank the soup, he still felt a little unsatisfied, so he only looked into Jiang Xiao's bowl.

Jiang Xiao ate one by one slowly, and there was still a small half in the bowl at this time.

"Can you eat it? If you can't, I can help you share it." Lin Dong said.

Jiang Xiao didn't understand Lin Dong's art of language, so he pushed the bowl in front of him towards Lin Dong.Lin Dong chuckled, and directly spooned two wontons into his mouth.

Old man, child, Lin Dong, summer, cicadas singing.

All of them became Jiang Xiao's own, a new summer memory.
