Jin Yang didn't notice the change of Rong Yuan's address, he hugged him for a while, after being excited, he felt that the body in his arms was so thin that his bones were piercing, looking at the gauze on his arms, tears were about to fall.

However, after several years of experience, he is much more mature and stable than before.Jin Yang took a deep breath, calmed down, let go of Rong Yuan, squeezed his arm, and asked, "Why are you so thin?" : "I'm taller than you now. Come on, call me brother."

"Get out." Rong Yuan said angrily, then he couldn't help being stunned, slightly uncomfortable.

Jin Yang also froze for a moment, then his smile became more obvious, he put his hand on Rong Yuan's head and rubbed it, and said briskly: "Ha, you are still the same as before."

——No, it's actually different, and both of them are very aware of this.

Rong Yuan didn't open his hand openly like before, but let him rub it twice with his eyes closed, without saying a word.

Or rather, I don't know what to say.

The atmosphere was stagnant for a while.

Deliberate lightness, deliberate smiles, deliberate maintenance of the illusion that nothing has changed, but the strangeness still lingers.

So Jin Yang also took off the mask he had put on unconsciously. After the piles of smiles disappeared, the remaining soft and bright boyishness also disappeared. The author's imposing manner, only his eyes are different - his eyes are still pleasant and gentle, as soft as a pool of spring water, making people smile involuntarily.

"Let's go, go to my house." He embraced his best friend who was half a head shorter than himself, no longer pretending as if he had just left yesterday, opened the car door and said, "Amy Rita and Tingting are also here, and it happened that I bought a car yesterday." Once you have the ingredients, you can make hot pot.”

……

Through the car window, the lights of the city turned into fire.Rong Yuan rested his chin and looked at the scenery outside the window, but he was not in the mood to speak.As he watched, his eyes focused on the silhouette reflected on the window glass.

Neither the parking lot nor the car was brightly lit, but it didn't prevent him from seeing everything clearly.

——Who is this?

He knew that this kind of doubt should not be, but he just couldn't help but want to ask.

They grew up together, and there were many changes during the period - they grew taller, the baby fat on their round faces gradually faded, they went through periods of tooth replacement and voice change, and their personalities became more and more angular as they grew up.But maybe it's because they have experienced these times together, watching each other's changes day by day, the subtle power makes people feel that there is no change.

But now it is different.

When he left, Jin Yang was still a thin, youthful, nervous, and high-spirited young man who had just entered university and started a company. His heart was as soft as water, and his eyes were always shining. , will show [-]% sincerity in communication, see the world clearly, but always have a piece of sunshine in his heart.He cares about everyone around him, is considerate, tolerant, and understanding, no matter whether he is happy, angry, sad or happy, he does not fake the slightest bit.

And the man next to him, with sharp and angular lines on his face, is no longer the indistinguishable handsomeness of the past; the hair is very short, and the lovely natural curls of the past can hardly be seen, but instead shows a bit of vigor; He has a well-proportioned figure, broad back and broad shoulders. He is the kind who can show off his figure in a swimsuit when he goes to film a movie.When he was not talking, his face was slightly sullen, a little tired, with a bit of majesty in his silence, and he didn't casually smile like before.

Rong Yuan tried to find the shadow of the past, but the more he searched, the more strange he felt.

In terms of appearance alone, the changes are not that big, but the changes in people's temperament brought about by experience and vision are almost subversive.No matter how naive and gentle a person is, when he associates with upper-class people who can determine the fate of a country in all aspects, a single sentence can affect the fate of tens of thousands of employees, and every decision involves the joy, anger and sorrow of countless people Huan, who often sits in front of the negotiating table and faces all kinds of intrigues, and may fall into the pit and lose a lot of benefits if he is not careful...then he will definitely grow up quickly.

He wanted to say something, such as thanking Jin Yang for taking care of Emerida, but before he could say anything, he felt boring again—if it was before, no matter what, he didn't feel that he needed to thank Jin Yang.In the same way, no matter what I have done, I don't need him to thank me a thousand times.

Rong Yuan's current feeling is as if he thought that the ground below was flat, so he jumped down happily, but he jumped into the pit all at once, and kept falling and falling, always failing to land.

……

"Snapped!"

The plate in her hand fell to the ground and her body was smashed to pieces, and the red spicy crayfish fell all over the ground, but the girl didn't care about it at all, and big tears rolled down her mouth like broken beads.

Rong Yuan, who followed Jin Yang into the door, saw her like this, smiled helplessly, and said softly: "Amy Ruida——"

The sigh-like voice is full of magnetism, like a gust of wind passing by the ear, or like a warm hand brushing the neck, making people fall in love with ironing.At first, Amirida tried her best to hold back her tears, but when she heard this familiar voice, she couldn't hold back any more. She sobbed softly at first, and after crying a few times, the worry, panic, and guilt that had been suppressed for half a month Emotions such as , longing and so on flooded up like a tide, and the crying became louder and louder. In the end, I couldn't even stand up.

Helpless, Rong Yuan walked over and hugged her in his arms, patted the girl's back lightly, and the messenger silently comforted and cared.

——Is this the "brother"?

Liu Ting was wearing an apron, holding a green and fresh cabbage in her hand, thinking about it in her heart.At the beginning, she was at a loss when she heard Emirida's loud cry, but she was relieved when she saw the atmosphere of intimacy and trust between the two.But it seemed that the "brother" who was only known by his name was very strange, and she was not sure of his identity, so she cast a questioning look at Jin Yang who was still standing by the door at this time.

Jin Yang seemed to know what she was thinking, and looked over at the same time, nodded and smiled slightly.

There is unconcealable bitterness in the smile.

Liu Ting suddenly felt her heart throbbing.

The Jin Yang she knew was a man who was suppressed by several consortiums at the same time, the products waiting to be shipped were burned to the ground, a huge order went wrong, and the company's senior management brought important information and betrayed by the customer base. To deal with the man, she thought that no amount of pressure could crush him.But now, he is tired all over, and even when he smiles, he feels sad, as if he climbed a mountain with great difficulty, but was pushed down by someone!

She had an intuition that this must have something to do with the new guests at home, and she couldn't help but reveal a little bit, but her sight was suddenly blocked.

"The atmosphere seems a little out of place right now. I'll introduce it to you later. How about eating hot pot today?" Jin Yang asked with a smile, as gentle as ever, the expression just now seemed to be her hallucination.

So Liu Ting didn't ask any more questions, stood on tiptoe and kissed his face and said happily, "Okay, I'll make two more cold dishes."

"I'm here to help."

Jin Yang rolled up his sleeves, but was kicked out by Liu Ting: "It's been a busy day, you'd better sit down! Just leave all the dinner to me!"

That being said, Jin Yang is not in the habit of sitting and waiting to eat.He went to the bathroom, took a broom and dustpan, swept up the plates and lobsters on the floor, dumped them into the trash can, and mopped the floor again.After tidying everything up, he saw that Emerida had basically calmed down, Rong Yuan was sitting on the sofa, the girl sitting on the carpet had her head resting on his lap, and she was muttering something in an incomprehensible language , because she cried too hard, her voice was still a little hoarse.Rong Yuan didn't say much at all, but there was an unmistakable love in his expression and movements.

This is Rong Yuan that he has never seen before.

There are actually very few changes in appearance. Although he has lost a lot of weight, he still looks like a teenager. It seems that Time loves this person in front of him so much that he can stay in his best youth for a while longer.But the whole person became sharper and sharper, as if he had been baptized by iron and fire.

——Isn’t that the case?

Jin Yang thought with a wry smile.

Although I didn't ask clearly, since Emerald was in the rescue cabin, the pilot of the humanoid mech had no second thoughts but Rong Rong.He didn't know what Rong Yuan did during the years when he was away, but just looking at the battle in the starry sky, he knew that the past few years were not easy for him, he must have experienced many crises, maybe he returned to Earth after fighting all the way .

But the flames of war did not make him more isolated, but pulled him out of the state of mind that was once isolated from the world. There were more things in his eyes, unlike in the past where he could no longer see anything but the target. to something else.It is not known who made him change, but Jin Yang is sincerely grateful for the change.

He knew that he should be happy for Rong Yuan, however, with thousands of words stuck in his throat, after the initial joy, there was only sourness in his heart.

He may be the person who understands Rong Yuan best in the world, so he can see at a glance the unfamiliarity and rejection that cannot be ignored.

Jin Yang suddenly felt...he finally knew what it was like for those parents who raised their children through untold hardships, but the children flew away when they grew up and refused to even make a phone call when they went home...
