Continuously

Yao An took the tulip out of a transparent corset vase with a slanted opening, replaced it with 40ml of new water, then inserted it back in, and placed it on the windowsill.

In the sun, the edge of the flower is dull copper.

"Alas." Yao An plucked the shriveled petals.

Yao Jianqi took this scene into his eyes and called him out of nowhere: "Brother, come here."

Yao An listened to the call, ran over melancholy holding the bottle, and sat on the sofa with Yao Jianqi.

Yao Jianqi: "Open your mouth."

According to Yao An's words, something cold and sweet got stuck on his canine teeth.

"What is this?" he asked vaguely.

"Water chestnuts, don't forget to eat them." Yao Jianqi took one out of the basket, put his thumb against the back of a ceramic fruit knife, and peeled off the tip of the bud with familiarity, and shaved off the skin around the body and the navel, turning it into a white and tender piece. pulp.

Yao An hurriedly waved his hands: "You eat, you eat... Mmm!"

Yao Jianqi couldn't help but pressed it into Yao An's mouth and said, "Eat more, so you won't be moaning at that flower all day long."

Yao An chewed a few mouthfuls and swallowed the sweet juice together: "The flowers you gave me are going to wither, can I not be sentimental?"

Yao Jianqi chuckled: "Mr. Jiang may not agree."

"Hey, I don't care, whoever gave it to me will give it to me." Yao An raised his face, "This is the first time I've recycled flowers."

Yao Jianqi swept the crumbs on the coffee table into the trash can, and asked intentionally or unintentionally, "Do you like flowers?"

"I like the flowers my brother sent me." Yao An replied in a second.

Yao Jianqi smiled, and only half-truthed his sweet words.

He picked up the flower again and looked at it: "It won't live long without the soil, it's already seven months, and it should wither."

Yao An pursed his lips, the temperature was also nerve-wracking, no matter how much he put it in the shade, he couldn't stand the high temperature, and the summer vacation was almost halfway through in the blink of an eye...

He was startled suddenly, and rushed to Yao Jianqi, eyebrow to eyebrow: "I'm about to start school?!"

"Isn't there a month left?"

"That's not enough fun!"

Yao Jianqi folded the ceramic knife and asked, "What else do you want to play with?"

"I..." Yao An fell into deep thought.

This month, apart from going back to Anding Village a few times and occasionally playing basketball with classmates at the Internet bar, the rest of the time I stayed with Yao Jianqi, playing around as usual, never feeling bored, never feeling too slow.

"See you, do you want to go somewhere?" Yao An asked.

"Where?" Yao Jianqi knew that he wanted to quarrel again.

"Just..." Yao An frowned, with one leg crossed on the sofa, shaking his knee, "I'm going to college soon, so I won't be able to be with you every day, what do you want to play, what do you want to do?" Yes, let's take advantage of this summer vacation to do it all?"

"Did you do it?" Yao Jianqi asked softly, his eyes were slightly scorching.

"That's right." Yao An didn't realize it, "What do you want to do?"

The moment Yao Jianqi tilted his head slightly, he washed away his expression just now. He looked out the window at Yiyi River and said, "Teach me how to swim."

Yao Jianqi never swam with Yao An.

Looking into it carefully, there was only one year, many seasons younger than now, when Yao An bravely took him into the water once, in the creek in front of grandma's house.

At that time, the stream was not covered with unruly filamentous leaves as it is now, and there were few lotus leaves. There were only tiny crocuses, hornworts, and black wood ferns growing in the crevices of the stones...

Yao An was wearing a pair of baggy boxer underpants, carrying two basins, and wanted to take Yao Jianqi to take a bath in the stream.

Of course, Yao Jianqi would not follow suit, but Yao An was good at speaking——to Yao Jianqi's words: "Let's go catch fish."

Yao Jianqi was fooled to the side of the stream, and he stepped down a few loose stones, which were not called steps. Yao An said that the mud was wet and would stain the shoes, so he obediently took off his shoes and put them beside the weeds; He asked if it would be good to roll up his trousers. Yao An said that I would take them off no matter what, so he tore off his trousers too. In the end, there was only a loose cotton short sleeve left, which covered his years better than nothing. She was ashamed and refused to take it off no matter what, even if she was splashed.

What did Yao An say about him back then?

What are you ashamed of?

Time has changed, and when Yao Jianqi took off his clothes calmly and put on the swimming briefs that Yao An picked out by himself, and slipped his fingers along the waistline inadvertently, the latter's mood was not as good as before.

"Huh?" Yao An kept thinking about the swimming glasses, and quietly moved his eyes away, "Something is wrong..."

"I think so too." Yao Jianqi lowered his head and inspected.

"You think so too?" Yao An blinked.

"That's right." Yao Jianqi frowned helplessly, then raised his head, "Isn't it better to have a flat angle?"

"Ah, ah?" Yao An was taken aback, because what he said was not the same thing.

Yao Jianqi looked back and forth at himself, although he was uncomfortable, there was nothing else he could do.

Then he looked at Yao An and opened his eyes slightly: "Why don't you take it off?"

Yao An's reaction was half a beat slow, so Yao Jianqi stretched out his hand and loosened the knot at the back of his neck for him.

Yao Jianqi held the jade with his left hand, passed through Yao An's chin, lips, bridge of nose, and finally took it off before the brow bone.

Yao Jianqi's fingertips slid across the veins in the center of the jade, thinking of a time when Yao An played basketball with Bieban, just because the other party accidentally strangled his jade, and the accident directly turned from playing ball to beating someone.

Yao An took this piece of jade very seriously and never let others touch it.

There are exceptions.

Yao Jianqi wrapped Yu in a dry towel and closed the combination locker: "Let's go."

When stepping on the disinfection pool, Yao An followed behind Yao Jianqi, and explained to himself: "It must be the problem of not choosing a flat angle!"

The sense of touch is rusty.

At that time, Yao Jianqi stepped into the stream for the first time, and the running water slipped out between his toes, like cool fish kissing the soles of his feet.

One hand is holding the basin, the other is wrapped in the palm of Yao An, and the foot is a stone that has been washed and smoothed by time, which is uneven, similar to but not ravaged.

Yao An led him all the way to the middle of the water, and said, "Hurry up and wash!"

"What to wash?" Yao Jianqi, who had been deceived, was still at a loss.

"Take a shower!" Yao An laughed.

"?!"

Yao An took the lead, scooping up a basin of clear water and pouring it down from the top of his head. His prickly head fanned the water droplets like stars under the sun.

"Cool!" He said from the bottom of his heart.

Yao Jianqi recalled, turned around and ran away, how could it be possible, Yao An grabbed him and hugged him tightly, and poured another basin of water indiscriminately, which wet him as it should be.

"Hahahahaha..."

Yao An's triumphant smile filled his ears.

Yao Jianqi hurriedly pulled off his clothes that were sticky to his body, and under the wet eyelashes were a pair of annoying eyes.

"How fun!" Yao An didn't know what to do, scooped up the water and splashed him over and over again.

Yao Jianqi's flames were doused by handfuls of water, but he still scooped up a large basin and poured it towards Yao An.

"I'll go, brat, you can do it!"

Yao An wiped the water off his face and officially started the battle. He fought back one after another, and the two clumps of water splashed together in the sun.

The water got into his nose, and Yao Jianqi choked twice, covering his face with a basin: "No more!"

But the opposite is a playboy, I don't know if I heard it, the water is hitting the bottom of the basin without interruption, rumbling.

Yao Jianqi couldn't beat him, so he ran to hide, took two steps to the side, and the steps were difficult, because of the resistance of the vassal, his vision was wet and blurred, he couldn't see where he was, but he vaguely felt that he was stepping on a piece of grass covered with grass. On the turtle-backed stone of Tai, the sky and the earth spun instantly, accompanied by Yao An's anxious cry, the blue sky changed in front of his eyes.

"What?"

Yao Jianqi dipped one calf in the swimming pool, looking at Yao An's outstretched arms, he couldn't laugh or cry.

"Pick you up." Yao An's expression was taken for granted.

"Hello." Yao Jianqi leaned down and asked softly, "How old am I?"

"It doesn't matter how old you are, it's only right for me to protect you." The horizontal line just reached Yao An's collarbone. He stood in the water and opened his arms again.

This area is a deep water area, the water surface is about 1.7 meters, and there are few people. He himself plunged in just now, but it was Yao Jianqi's turn, but he refused to let it go.

Yao Jianqi didn't know why this person was suddenly so aggressive, he shook his head and gave up: "I'm coming down."

He stretched out his arms and slid into the water with a plop, without any accident, his hands firmly encircled him.

A few centimeters away, Yao Jianqi stared at Yao An for a long time, then smiled inexplicably, "Brother, what are you afraid of?"

Yao An didn't say much, his hand fell from Yao Jianqi's back, and he took his hand instead.

The water overflowed below Yao Jianqi's Adam's apple, a little vague and deep suffocation.

"Let's go to a shallower place." Yao An held his hand under the water and slowly moved to the left of the pool.

Yao Jianqi lowered his head, trying to see through the refraction of the light ripples, but out of the corner of his eye, he looked at three meters away, a pair of middle-aged men and women lying on the side of the pool, with sharp mouths, watching them frequently, like someone An invisible knife.

He knew what they misunderstood and what they tabooed.

if that's the case.

Yao An suddenly turned around and asked him, "How is it here?"

It's better to go too far.

The water surface has reached below the chest, close to the fifth rib, so he let go of the rope*.

Yao Jianqi suddenly took a step back, his heels touched the tiles, like long-standing moss on the back of a turtle, the indoor fluorescent lamp shook violently, he couldn't wait to fall in, and then there was a sea of ​​blue.

In the next second, someone also came in and firmly held his wrist, just like a certain year.

Only this time, Yao Jianqi opened his eyes in the water, and before he could feel the fine and dense pain around his eye sockets, he had already wrapped his hands around Yao An's neck, like scooping up a handful of water, and brought Yao An to him without any explanation. .

Yao Jianqi didn't dare to blink, so that he could remember this moment, the pale blue face approaching him, and the biting lip.
