crossing the dangerous bridge

"Lin Jianxi, your phone is ringing."

"You don't need to come here, your phone is hung up again."

Fang Shao was sitting by the court, on the surface helping Lin Jianxi take care of his personal belongings with all his heart, but in fact he took the opportunity to be lazy and tried every means to find time to send WeChat with the goddess.

The number of times he was lazy, he also gradually discovered one thing. After a while, Lin Jianxi's mobile phone would hang up as if he had some kind of disease. It would hang up after one ring, and hang up after two rings. The interval would be as long as five or six times. days, at least a few hours.

He once secretly looked at the caller ID, and found that they were all calling from the same person, with two words, Jiang Yu.

Fang Shao was very puzzled, whether Lin Jianxi's brother slipped his hand to press the call, or did he call on purpose. Is this a new way of greeting relatives after making a call and then hanging up and calling again?

Saying that there was no need to go, Lin Jianxi still walked over. Seeing Fang Shao's tangled expression, he immediately understood, and asked with a smile, "Is it Jiang Yu calling?"

Although this sentence was a question, the tone was firm, and he didn't need Fang Shao to answer, he just picked up the phone and called back.

Fang Shao watched him go away, and came back after a while. Finally, he couldn't hold back his curiosity, and asked, "What's going on with your brother? I'll call you every two days. To be honest, I've never seen someone who is bigger than you." You two brothers are more sticky. Is he lost in adolescence and needs the education of brother love?"

"Is it sticky? No." Lin Jianxi sat down and unscrewed a bottle of mineral water: "I don't know what's wrong with him, maybe it's because of too much study pressure?"

"How big is it?"

"Because of me?" Lin Jianxi said thoughtfully, "My brother is too strong, is my brother under pressure?"

Fang Shao was shocked: "Are you serious?"

"Do I look like I'm joking?"

Fang Shao carefully observed his expression, felt that he had never been so serious, and couldn't help hesitating: "It's hard to say."

Lin Jianxi paused subtly: "No way, you really believe it?"

Fang Shao: "...Should I believe it or not?"

Lin Jianxi laughed and shook her head: "I'm just kidding you."

Talking and playing, he could indeed feel that Jiang Yu was under a lot of pressure. Every time he made a phone call, he could feel that Jiang Yu was suppressing something. This depression reminded him of Jiang Yu standing in the streetlight for no reason. While waiting for him.

It seems... It seems that a stray puppy can't find the direction to go home, so it can only go around in circles at a loss.

What is he suppressing?What could bother him?Counting the troubles at this age, you can’t escape pocket money to learn three things about love, the family is not in danger of going bankrupt for the time being, and he doesn’t have a genetic mutation to become mentally handicapped, that’s...emotional?

Jiang Yu usually has nothing to say to him, except for his feelings. In this regard, this little devil hides especially deeply. Lin Jianxi still doesn't know who he likes, whether it's a man or a woman. ... How to help him, he really has no idea.

Lin Jianxi is like a parent of a worried adolescent rebellious child. He is confused and has no clue. He doesn't know why his child suddenly became nervous. a meal.

However, countless precedents have proved that beating children will only push people to a more confrontational place. Violent education is not his purpose, not to mention that beatings cannot fundamentally solve the problem, and he can't do it either.

While he was thinking about how to take care of the child, Jiang Yu was also thinking about how to go in the future.

He seemed to have somehow gotten into a dead end with no turning back and couldn't get out. Rationally, he felt that he could maintain the "brother" relationship with Lin Jianxi flawlessly, but his emotions always turned into a wild beast uncontrollably , desperately wanted to break open the cage and run straight to him, even though it would hurt him with its sharp claws.

In fact, even if Lin Jianxi has feelings for him that go beyond "family affection", he will hold on to this opportunity like a person who has fallen into the world and suddenly grabs a dead vine, and will do his best step by step. He cautiously walked towards Lin Jianxi again, but he didn't.

Lin Jianxi loves him, loves him, and pets him, but doesn't like him.

When he thought of this, it was as if all the bones in his body were broken by someone, and he felt a sore pain, which made him unable to sleep at night.

He wanted to see Lin Jianxi, to hear his breathing, to touch his eyes, his eyes were so beautiful that when he bent to smile, the sunlight would break into them.

Perhaps it was the dark desire in his heart that broke through the ground. In his thoughts day and night, he gradually couldn't suppress his possessive desire for Lin Jianxi. He was like a pair of dirty eyes that couldn't see the light, trying to spy on Lin Jianxi. everything.

What was he doing, who was he talking to, and whom was he smiling at... Jiang Yu wished he could turn into a myriad of tentacles that would wrap him tightly and hide him so that no one could see him.

When he realized that he started to think this way, he called Lin Jianxi almost instinctively, wanting to ask him for help.

He doesn't want to be a monster, so, brother, help me.

Through the phone, he heard Lin Jianxi's breathing, which was calm and gentle, like a blind antidote, properly calming his churning heartbeat.

But it didn't take long for the antidote to fail.

Hungry and trapped animals... Where can the intangible breath be satisfied?

Reason and emotion pull each other, and he is the tree that they scramble to saw off first. In the day after day of torment, he unreasonably hates the culprit, even though he is so innocent that he cannot be more innocent.

If you don't like me, why do you still treat me so well?I'm not really a brother with the same household registration as you, I'm just an outsider who depends on others, an outsider who will like you.

I'm not your brother, do you understand?

"I'll take a leave of absence to go home." Another call from Jiang Yu was received. After hanging up, Lin Jianxi suddenly felt a strong sense of worry out of thin air. He simply stood up and patted Fang as if begging. Shao's shoulder, and walked away as soon as he said, so neat that people were caught off guard: "But I haven't told the counselor yet, you can tell me for me."

Fang Shao was confused: "No, you can count as asking for leave?"

"Thank you, come back to treat you to dinner, bye!"

A certain person has drifted three miles away, only the lingering sound lingers.

At the same time, Jiang Yu also skipped class, bought the nearest flight ticket, and came to the city where Lin Jianxi was located.

In the vast sea of ​​people, the two of them are like two fireflies attracted to each other, swimming towards each other, but it seems that there is really no fate. There are so many stories of reunion in the world, but they are not even touched by the encounter. out of reach.

This is Jiang Yu's first visit to Lin Jianxi's school, but he has already constructed this land in his mind many times. He is obviously a newcomer, but he is not cramped at all.

When he bought the ticket, he didn't think about anything, he only had one thought in his mind, he wanted to see him, he wanted to see him no matter what, so he came here, he knew Lin Jianxi's class, finding him was not difficult However, he stood outside the classroom and waited and waited until the blood that had been stirred up for no reason cooled down. While he was terrified about how to explain the sudden visit, he wondered blankly, why didn't his brother come?

Did he just get lazy, or did he go see someone else?

Jiang Yu absently grabbed a person and asked, "I...excuse me, why hasn't Lin Jianxi come yet?"

The girl seemed to be used to this kind of situation for a long time, and she said with a smile: "I don't know, maybe I went out on a date. Do you have anything to do with him? Do you need me to convey it to you?"

The girl asked more because he was handsome, but she didn't expect that after the question, the boy's face would show a panicked expression like being struck by lightning... Could it be, is she so scary?

After a while, Jiang Yu said softly, "No, thank you."

Lin Jianxi got off the plane only to realize that Jiang Yu had called him a lot, and the line of red missed calls was almost endless. He frowned deeply, walked aside and called back.

The call was connected in a second, so fast that one wondered if he was waiting for the ring to ring at the other end.

"……elder brother."

Lin Jianxi breathed lightly, and his eyes fell out of the window without focus. The dim sunset was about to completely sink into the horizon, but when the lights came on, no one would stop running because of the absence of the sun.

He opened his mouth, wanting to call him younger brother, but somehow felt that this address seemed inappropriate, so he had no choice but to say softly, "Jiang Yu...you...were crying?"

He almost forgot the last time Jiang Yu cried, and what year was it?Is it the year when he tried to climb a tree and fell from it?Or playing hide-and-seek, he hid in the storage room on the fourth floor of the house where few people go, the year when Jiang Yu couldn't find him and was running around crying and looking for him in a hurry?

No matter what year it was, it seemed a long time ago. Jiang Yu only loved to cry when he was a child, but when he grew up, he tended to transform into a cold iceberg, so much so that he forgot that he could cry.

Lin Jianxi's fingers curled up unconsciously, and then loosened, "Where are you?"

"I... I'm..."

"Don't cry, baby, I'll go find you right away." Lin Jianxi turned around and ran out, bumping into someone accidentally, and only had time to say "I'm sorry".

"I'm afraid... I'm so scared, brother..." Jiang Yu didn't bother to wipe away his tears. It was dark anyway, and the night would cover all the sad things in the world. No one would care why a passer-by cried.

"Don't be afraid," Lin Jianxi said softly and helplessly, "I'll be back soon."
