After getting close to the wild king in the game

Moonlight is like water.

The barbecue in the backyard was lively, and a group of 89-year-old children were laughing and joking.Some sounds can be heard faintly through the soundproof windows.

Jiang Qi lay on his back on the bed and slid the tablet in his hand with one hand. Although his eyes were on the display screen, his eyes were empty and he didn't really see the words or pictures on it.

Lin Dong has been Jiang Qi's good friend for so many years, and Jiang Xiao is his own younger brother. These two people... Jiang Qi's mind was in a mess. He threw the tablet on the bed and was about to get up to go to the bathroom when someone knocked on the door. Knocked.

"Wait a minute." Jiang Qi turned around, walked to the door and opened the door.

Standing outside the door was Lin Dong, holding a plate of grilled meat and vegetables in his hand, and a bottle of sparkling water in his other hand, "It's just baked, do you want to eat it?"

Jiang Qi laughed, took it and said, "Thank you."

"Slightly spicy, without cumin, I roasted it myself." Lin Dong said, "There are not many roasted ones, and the younger brothers below eat them very quickly. The little leftover is probably not enough for you. Eat it later. When you're done, go downstairs and get it yourself."

As soon as Lin Dong finished speaking, someone downstairs called him: "Brother Dongdong, if you don't come down, they will eat up."

It was Jiang Xiao's voice.

Lin Dong turned around: "Then I'll go down first."

"Dongdong," Jiang Qi called to stop him.

Lin Dong stopped in his tracks: "What's wrong?"

Jiang Qi stopped and realized that he hadn't thought through how to speak at all, so he was at a loss for words, and then he could only say, "I'm leaving next week."

"Do you want me to take you to the airport?" Lin Dong stopped, but then calculated the time, "What day is next week? I have to go back to school next Tuesday."

"It's okay, I'm leaving on Thursday, just to tell you that you don't need to send me off."

Jiang Xiao downstairs seemed to call Lin Dong because he didn't go down immediately: "Brother Dongdong?"

"Here we come," Lin Dong waved to Jiang Qi, "I'm going down first."

He ran down the stairs with small steps, and met Jiang Xiao who stood there for a while at the corner of the stairs, "Why do you keep calling me?"

Then the voices of the two of them gradually faded away.

On the small sofa in the room, Jiang Qi picked up a skewer of barbecue and fiddled with the contents of the bowl a few times.I haven't seen him for two years, but Lin Dong still remembers his taste clearly.

Jiang Qi has known Lin Dong for so many years, and knows Lin Dong's temperament clearly, and even more knows how soft-hearted he is.

Lin Dong and Jiang Xiao are very different in terms of personality and life experience.Jiang Xiao's temper... From a friend's point of view, regarding the fact that Jiang Xiao might like Lin Dong, Jiang Qi was worried about Lin Dong first.

Until the boys downstairs left together and Jiang Xiao also drove out, Jiang Qi never went downstairs.

He knew that he and Jiang Xiao's friends wouldn't be able to hang out together, so going downstairs might just be a little more embarrassing.He went to the living room and waited until Jiang Xiao came back after sending Lin Dong off, and then stopped Jiang Xiao before he went upstairs.

"Little Xiao, I want to talk to you."

Jiang Xiao stopped, turned around and went to the kitchen to get a can of beer, opened it and sat down beside Jiang Qi: "Want to talk about Dongdong?"

He seemed to be not surprised that Jiang Qi would be waiting for him here, and would speak up, and his attitude was beyond Jiang Qi's expected cooperation.

"What do you mean to Lin Dong?" Jiang Qi asked, "Do you like him?"

Jiang Xiao's eyes were calm and unwavering, and when he looked at Jiang Qi, there were very few emotions flashing, "Yes, I like him very much, and then what do you want to say to me? Do you want me to stay away from him or do you think I have something wrong? sick?"

Jiang Xiao didn't mind that Jiang Qi knew about it. If it was someone else, that's all. If it was Lin Dong, Jiang Qi wouldn't be able to tell others about it.

"Of course I don't think you are sick because you like the same sex, but Lin Dong is not suitable for you, he is..." Jiang Xiao interrupted him before Jiang Qi finished speaking.

"He's good-tempered and soft-hearted, optimistic and bright with a bright future, but I'm a bad-tempered and bad-tempered person, who can't be saved and delay others, so isn't it suitable?"

Maybe the wording is not as good as Jiang Xiao dictated, but what Jiang Qi wants to express is indeed such a meaning.So as soon as Jiang Xiao's words came out, Jiang Qi was speechless.

Jiang Xiao drank two more sips of beer, and his mood did not change because of Jiang Qi's silence. He continued: "Is there anything else to say? If not, I'll go upstairs."

"I didn't mean that, you're not that bad," Jiang Qi argued.

But it was interrupted by Jiang Xiao here.

"Don't get me wrong, I'm not angry, because I'm really that bad, and you didn't think wrong." Jiang Xiao laughed, his smile was cold.

The hatred accumulated by resentment cannot be dispelled for a moment, and may even not be truly dispelled for a lifetime.Because people who have been injured have grown up with scars, and these scars are indelible marks left on people after all.Unless someone can go back through time and space to prevent all this from happening, no amount of relief and compensation afterwards will probably be useless.

The scars of years are hard to disappear, and the pain I once felt is also impossible to forget.

"You like Lin Dong, what about Lin Dong, is he sure he likes you?"

Jiang Xiao put the beer can on the coffee table, and said calmly, "I'm not sure."

Jiang Xiao is indeed not sure, as Jiang Qi said, he himself knows that Lin Dong is very soft-hearted, maybe sometimes too soft-hearted.Does he really like him or is it because he is soft-hearted?

"But he is a soft-hearted person, isn't he?" Jiang Xiao said, "As long as he is soft-hearted and willing to be with me, it doesn't matter whether he likes me or not. He never had the heart to reject me."

It is almost vile to say such a thing.

"That's why I'm so bad, you need to be clear." Jiang Xiao got up, crushed the beer can and threw it into the trash can, and went upstairs without looking back.

Jiang Qi felt depressed and sat alone in the living room for a long time with his fists clenched.

In the nearly two months since he came back, Jiang Qi has gradually realized that the relationship between himself and Jiang Xiao, or between Jiang Xiao and their relatives, has been so bad that it is impossible to restore it to the original state with just a few words.

He leaned his head back against the back of the sofa, feeling disappointed and frustrated.He and Jiang Xiao, he and Jiang Guoping and even Duan Li, their entire family is divided into independent small pieces, and there are very few family ties between them.

From this perspective, Jiang Qi can fully understand that Jiang Xiao would like Lin Dong and be attracted by him.

-

"Why did school start?" Li Chan walked back and forth to help Lin Dong pack his things, arranged for him to take this with him, and sighed, "Mom hasn't been with you for a few days."

Lin Dong was sitting on the floor in the living room picking up a bunch of things delivered by his grandparents, picking and choosing, "This one should be broken if you take it over there, Mom, you can keep it for food, I can take this one with me, and It’s a hassle to carry so many things.”

Li Chan came over and put back the things that Lin Dong had picked out: "Didn't you say that Xiao Xiao drove to school? You don't need to take the high-speed train back and forth to carry things. I haven't seen my roommates for so long. You can bring them to eat." Ah, such a small amount of food can be eaten in one day."

"That's true." Lin Dong ruined the image of his roommates in front of Li Chan, "The people in our dormitory can eat better than pigs."

"Nonsense again." Li Chan scolded, "But when you come back from winter vacation, we will move to a new house, and mother will have a lot of free time then, do you want to go somewhere to play?"

"I have a lot of things I want to play." Lin Dong sat down and broke Li Chan's fingers, counting around at home and abroad, "I don't have a lot of classes this semester, and I have time during the holidays. Do you want to play with us? My roommates say you are beautiful."

Li Chan couldn't help laughing, "Little sycophant."

"I can't even hear the truth, and I'm a sycophant." Lin Dong snorted, "It's almost done, don't take other things, otherwise I would be embarrassed to carry so many things by myself, and Jiang Xiao couldn't carry them either. I guess there is something missing."

"Okay, okay." Li Chan agreed.

The embarrassment is fake, Lin Dong no longer feels embarrassed about such trivial matters with Jiang Xiao.

However, the guess that Jiang Xiao would bring a lot of things was wrong.

Jiang Xiao went upstairs to say hello to Li Chan, and when he helped Lin Dong take his things to the car downstairs, he opened the trunk and it was almost empty, only a twenty-inch suitcase, so that Lin Dong couldn't help it. Pile things and add a big box to stuff them in, but it didn't fill up the trunk.

Lin Dongba said goodbye to Li Chan by the window, turned to close the window and asked Jiang Xiao, "Where's your luggage?"

"Didn't you see it in the trunk?"

"So few!" Lin Dong raised his voice and asked curiously, "Or did you send the things over there first?"

Jiang Xiao has already contacted the matter of living out, and he needs far more things to live outside than in the dormitory, at least Lin Dong thinks so.

"I just brought a few clothes, and I can buy other things if necessary." Jiang Xiao said.

"That's okay." Lin Dong nestled in the driver's seat, "It's a pity that I can't drive. I will definitely get my driver's license this semester. Then we can take turns driving, so you don't have to be so tired .”

It wasn't too far for them to drive to school from the city, but it took more than three hours to start. Lin Dong felt that he would feel tired just by driving for such a long time, let alone driving.

"It just so happens that you didn't start school this week. You can pack up and prepare at home first, and buy the things you should buy," Lin Dong muttered to himself, and then asked Jiang Xiao when he remembered something, "Why is Zhang Yuanzhe so afraid of you?" ?”

"Is he afraid of me?" Jiang Xiao said, "I don't know either."

Lin Dong stared at Jiang Xiao, "Anyone with eyes can tell that he is afraid of you, so don't be so fierce to him in the future, he is really nice."

"What's so good, I'm not a serious person." Jiang Xiao said.

"Why aren't you a decent person?" Lin Dong retorted dissatisfied, busy sending Zhang Yuanzhe a WeChat message.

Originally, they drove there by themselves. Lin Dong asked Zhang Yuanzhe if they wanted to go together, but Zhang Yuanzhe didn't agree.

Dong Dong Qiang: I think you should really go there with us. Although I won’t have many things to do at that time, I’m sure I won’t be very free. You can live with Jiang Xiao, or you can go to play together. There are many places of interest in City A. Monuments and places to visit.

"If you want you to touch him here and there casually, what kind of decent person can you be? I'm tolerant of not hitting him directly."

"You know he doesn't mean that, so you just quibble." Lin Dong annoyed, "I won't tell you this anymore, if you beat him, I'll beat you."

"So has it reached the point where you want to beat me up for him?" Jiang Xiao glanced at Lin Dong, full of disappointment and grievance.

What a sophist!

Lin Dong quickly withdrew the WeChat message he sent to Zhang Yuanzhe and edited another one.

Dong Dong Qiang: Forget it, you should stay away from Jiang Xiao.

Dong Dong Qiang: This brother is not like a good person.
