No one really thinks it's hard to be a stand-in, right?

Li determined to bloom in full bloom: "Ji Mian, what do you mean by this?"

Ji Mian seemed to have come to his senses, realizing that he had talked too much, so he kept his mouth shut.

No matter how much Li Jue asked, he would not say anything more.

Ji Mian didn't give him a good look, and Li Jue left angrily.

The winter vacation officially started, and the day before the Chinese New Year, Ji Yao returned home from Haishi.

Since Ji Yao came home last time, it seems that the years of estrangement have been untied. Ji Mian really likes his brother to go home, so he can get two red envelopes.

But just because the red envelope is looking forward to Ji Yao's return, Ji Mian feels a little embarrassed.

After Ji Yao came back, the house was quite lively.

Xiao Liu, the nanny invited by their family, will not go home this year. Lin Minzhi and Lin Minzhi are preparing the New Year's Eve dinner in the kitchen and chatting.

Ji Mian sat in the living room and cut the window grilles. Ji Yao didn't know how to do it, so Ji Mian taught him patiently.

After all, the two brothers are related by blood. Even if there is little contact, the deep relationship will not be delayed. Ji Yao talks less, and Ji Mian talks more. In the living room, the two brothers are always talking about each other.

"Ding dong—" with a sound, the doorbell in the yard rang.

Ji Mian put down the window grille: "I'll go and open the door."

The courier outside the yard shouted: "Express! Is anyone home?"

"Yes." Ji Mian opened the door: "Whose courier?"

"Does Ji Yao belong to your family?" The courier looked down at the name.

"It's my brother."

"Then you sign for it."

Ji Mian glanced at the express delivery, which was about the size of a shoe box. It was heavy, and she was a little curious.

The delivery address is Haishi, and the consignor remarked "Dashuaibi", which looks quite funny.

"Brother, your delivery." Ji Mian put it on the coffee table: "It's from Haishi, did you buy anything?"

Ji Yao's pretty brows were slightly frowned, seeing the consignor's name, he had a bad premonition in his heart.

Intuition told him, don't open it in front of Ji Mian, otherwise he will lose face.

Ji Mian picked up the scissors and continued to pick up window grilles, curiously asked, "What is it?"

Ji Yao hesitated for a moment, opened the courier, and there was a big crystal heart wrapped in white foam paper, a small card saying "The best gift for girlfriend on New Year's Day, I cried when I received it", there was a tray underneath, and the switch was Touch-type, Ji Yao's fingers didn't know where to touch, this vulgar and earthy big heart spun up, exuding beautiful lighting effects of red, orange, yellow, green, blue and purple, and playing a cheerful song: "Happy New Year to you~ I wish you Happy New Year to you~"

After singing this song, the next earth song will be played automatically: "My wife, I love you, Amitabha Buddha blesses you, may you have a good mood, be healthy and beautiful~"

Before the coffee table, the expressions of the two brothers were exactly the same blank.

In the next second, the switch of the crystal heart was violently dismantled by Ji Yao with a cold face.

Ji Mian petrified for a moment, then came back to his senses: "Brother... what is this?"

Ji Yao let out a breath: "Nothing."

After a while, Ji Yao stroked Ji Mian's forehead in silence, and looked at him earnestly: "Mianmian, you must study hard."

Ji Mian nodded obediently: "I know, brother."

Ji Yao added the second half of the sentence, closing his eyes: "Otherwise you will become such an idiot when you grow up."

Needless to say, "such a fool" refers to the "big guy" who gave the gift.

Ji Mian lowered his head and continued to cut the window grilles. He secretly looked at Ji Yao, and found that Ji Yao didn't throw away the earthy crystal love heart.

His brother looked at it for a while, and there was a smile on the corner of his mouth that he didn't notice, and then he put the crystal heart in the room with great care.

This stuff makes Ji Mian's eyes pissed off, he really doesn't know why his brother's deserted personality likes it.

He seemed to understand something, but he didn't seem to understand anything.

Worrying thoughtfully.

During the New Year's Eve dinner at night, Lin Minzhi saw an out-of-fitting crystal earthy love heart in the living room, and said in surprise, "What is it, ugly."

Ji Yao took a sip of the food: "The leader sent it."

Lin Minzhi said, "Just your big boss?"

Ji Yao: "Yes."

Lin Minzhi was a little disgusted: "The last time I saw his photo, I thought your boss was a good-looking talent. What a handsome guy, why is he so tasteful..."

"Hold down." Ji Yao answered for her.

After dinner, Ji Mian went into the room to call Fu Chenyu to call New Year greetings.

Fu Chenyu's New Year's Eve dinner was very lively, and Lin Jianyi's official career took another step forward. People who visited their home during the Chinese New Year were almost over the threshold.

Ji Mian watched the local news in Tongcheng in the morning, and saw Lin Jianyi advocating poverty alleviation on TV. Ji Mian had nothing to say to Fu Chenyu, but simply wanted to hear his voice.

"I'll come to you tomorrow." Ji Mian reluctantly said on the phone, "Hang up."

"En." Fu Chenyu didn't hang up.

Ji Mian waited for a while: "Why didn't you hang up?"

Fu Chenyu: "I don't want to hang up, I'll wait for you to hang up."

Ji Mian froze for a moment, that strange feeling spread in his heart again, his face became hot with shock, and he said quickly: "Then I'll hang up."

He hung up the phone and covered the phone in his hand, comforting himself, the phone was too hot.

Definitely not blush.

Lin Minzhi was too old to keep the New Year's Eve, she dozed off watching the Spring Festival Gala, and was persuaded by Ji Yao to go upstairs to sleep.

Only Ji Mian and Ji Yao were left in the living room, Ji Mian hugged a pillow in his arms, giggling because of the sketch.

During the interval between advertisements, Ji Mian was chatting with his brother, remembering what happened in the afternoon, and somehow asked, "Brother, it's your boss who sent you the courier this afternoon."

"Yeah." Ji Yao didn't deny it.

Ji Mian rested her chin on the pillow, and asked cautiously, "Does he like you?"

Ji Yao looked ahead, and after a long time, he replied: "It should be."

Ji Mian: "Are you not together?"

Ji Yao: "No."

Ji Mian said, "It must be a man."

Ji Yao: "Yes, a man."

The living room was suddenly silent except for the sound of the TV.

Ji Mian put the organized words in his mouth several times, and said, "Brother...how did you find out that you like men."

After he said this, he buried his head low, not daring to look at Ji Yao's expression at all.

Fortunately, Ji Yao did not pursue why he asked this question, and patiently explained: "I was born with it, and I knew it after I graduated from elementary school."

Ji Mian was surprised: "It's so early!"

Ji Yao: "Well. Generally, you don't like the opposite sex, and you can know it in elementary school."

Thinking of Fu Chenyu, Ji Mian couldn't help thinking: When did the boss know that he likes men?

Last time he heard Fu Chenyu say that he has someone he likes, Ji Mian felt a little blocked, Fu Chenyu didn't intend to tell him who it was.

Ji Mian let out an "oh", didn't continue to ask, and concentrated on watching the Spring Festival Gala.

After the Spring Festival Gala ended, Ji Yao turned off the TV.

Ji Mian was sleepy, and after saying good night to his brother, he was about to go back to the room. Ji Yao stood still, and suddenly said, "Mianmian, the road of homosexuality is not easy."

Ji Mian's footsteps stopped, and Ji Yao came over, held his head and rubbed it: "But I respect your decision."

Ji Mian obviously didn't say anything, but now it seems like his mind has been punctured.

His heart was beating like thunder, and he didn't understand what was going on, but Ji Yao made it clear, which relieved a lot of pressure on Ji Mian.

On New Year's Eve, he opened his eyes until dawn before falling asleep carelessly.

When I woke up, it was already afternoon.

Ji Mian hastily ate lunch, remembering that he said last night that he was going to play with Fu Chenyu today, put on his coat, greeted Lin Minzhi and ran away.

Lin Minzhi knew that Ji Mian and Fu Chenyu had a good relationship, every year he spent the New Year at home, and then went to see Fu Chenyu on the first day of the new year, so he readily agreed.

It's just that Ji Yao looked at Ji Mian's back and fell into deep thought.

As soon as he walked to the door of Fu Chenyu's house, Lin Yun saw him, not as lively as usual, but a little sad.

Ji Mian walked over to give Lin Yun a red envelope, and asked, "Who made my sister unhappy?"

Lin Yun hesitated for a moment, and said, "Brother Mianmian, it's not me, it's the second brother who is unhappy."

Ji Mian was stunned for a moment: "What happened to Fu Chenyu?"

Lin Yun's eyes turned red: "Second brother's rabbit seems to be dying."

After Ji Mian listened, her mind went blank for a moment.

Fu Chenyu's rabbit was bought when he graduated from kindergarten and has been with him for 11 years.That rabbit was the only thought he took away from Lingang County, and it also ended Fu Chenyu's extremely gloomy childhood.

It means a lot to him.

"I'll go up and have a look." Ji Mian was in a complicated mood.

Lin Yun said, "Second brother is in the room, I dare not go in."

"It's okay. Xiaoyun go play, I'll accompany your brother." Ji Mian rubbed Lin Yun's little head.

Lin Yun nodded, worried: "Brother Mianmian, please comfort the second brother, he looks really sad."

Ji Mian quietly came to the second floor. Fu Chenyu's room was the innermost room. It had a balcony for raising rabbits.

He knocked on the door, but didn't hear Fu Chenyu's reply, so he took the initiative to say: "Fu Chenyu, did I push the door in?"

With a "click", Ji Mian opened the door.

Fu Chenyu sat in front of the bed, holding the dying rabbit in his arms.

Mianmiantu didn't die yet, he could feel someone entering the room, his ears moved slightly, and looked at Ji Mian.

Ji Mian felt a little heavy.

He sat beside Fu Chenyu: "Fu Chenyu, I heard from Xiaoyun, is Mianmian leaving?"

When called "Mianmian", Ji Mian was still a little awkward, it sounded like he was calling himself by his nickname.

Fu Chenyu's bangs grew long, covering his emotions, Ji Mian could only see his bony hands gently stroking the soft fur of Mian Mian rabbit.

The Mian Mian Rabbit was even breathing weakly, and could barely see a little undulation.

Ji Mian comforted him: "Fu Chenyu, you did a good job."

He hugged Fu Chenyu's shoulders: "A rabbit is only one-tenth the age of a human. It's time, you have to let it go."

Ji Mian said, "I'll be with you. Don't be afraid."

Many years ago, Ji Mian, who was only in the fourth grade of elementary school, was lying on the window like this, and said to him: Fu Chenyu, I am with you, don't be afraid.

Later, when Ning Qian passed away, it was Ji Mian who accompanied him, dripping wet, and told him that winter would soon pass and spring would come.

Fu Chenyu's voice trembled, "Ji Mian, I don't want it to die."

Ji Mian seldom saw Fu Chenyu's fragile appearance, the last time was when Ning Qian passed away.

There was a rush of heat in his heart, and he made a mysterious promise: "Then I will be your rabbit."

Fu Chenyu turned to look at him.

Ji Mian's Adam's apple slid up and down, swallowing his saliva nervously. He looked at Fu Chenyu seriously, grabbed his hand, and repeated: "I will be a rabbit for you in the future. I'm still the police officer in the rabbit, no loss." you."

He knew it sounded like coaxing a child, but now Fu Chenyu looked like a child who lost his most precious toy.

Desperate, pitiful and lovely.

Fu Chenyu just stared at him so straightly, his eyes were filled with magma-like emotions.

Ji Mian mustered up his courage so he didn't look away. He whispered, "Don't be sad, okay. I see you are sad, and I'm sad too."

He struggled in his heart for a long time, he hugged Fu Chenyu with his arms wide open, and put his chin on his shoulder, as if to give Fu Chenyu a little courage: "I'll accompany you, let's send Mianmian rabbit away together."

The Mian Mian rabbit stopped breathing before nightfall, Ji Mian also fed it grass and had feelings for it, at that moment his eyes were red and his nose was sour.

Ji Mian accompanied Fu Chenyu to dig a pit in the yard, and set up a small tombstone for Mianmiantu, on which was written the tomb of Fu Chenyu's love for rabbits, which looked very impressive.

He was worried that Fu Chenyu would feel uncomfortable at night, so he called Lin Minzhi and said that he would not go back at night, and by the way, told Lin Minzhi what happened.

On the evening of the first day of the new year, the light snow turned into heavy snow, and Fu Chenyu's mood has improved a lot. In the evening, he had dinner with Ji Mian, and the two thought it was cold outside, so they went to bed early after washing.

Ji Mian used to sleep on the same bed with Fu Chenyu, with no distractions.

Now when I go to bed, my mind is a little confused, I feel that any posture is not suitable, so I sleep against the wall, there is a large space in the middle, and the air leaks.

Ji Mian spent half the semester in a daze, and now he realized that his attitude towards Fu Chenyu had changed.

I used to think that he was my good friend, but recently he has been rebellious, and seems to have a little bit of unreasonable thoughts about my good friend...

Could it be that there are too many homosexuals around him, so he is also affected?

Ji Mian was dizzy, and still couldn't tell whether her feelings for Fu Chenyu were possessive from a friend or from a lover.

Moreover, Fu Chenyu's heart belongs to him, Ji Mian thought, if he really likes him, it wouldn't be so miserable.

For a moment, the plot of the original book came to his mind, Ji Mian broke out in a cold sweat reflexively, and his calf seemed to be throbbing again.

"Ji Mian."

Being nervous and guilty, Fu Chenyu suddenly called out to him: "You are so far away from me, aren't you cold?"

"Ah?" Ji Mian came back to his senses: "Is it far away, I'm afraid I'm not sleeping well and I'm squeezing you."

"It's not the first time I slept with you." Fu Chenyu said lightly, "When was I afraid of you?"

In the night, Ji Mian's ears felt hot.

Why are these words so ambiguous...

"Thinking about something?" Fu Chenyu's voice was melodious, like a cello, making Ji Mian's heart tremble.

"It's nothing, I'm just thinking about the sketch of the Spring Festival Gala." Ji Mian was talking nonsense.

Fu Chenyu made up his mind to chat with him, and asked, "What sketch."

Ji Mian's mind was muddled, and he said nonsense: "I'm talking about police wives, have you read that, the husband is a policeman, and he has to perform important tasks on New Year's Eve, so he can't accompany his wife home to celebrate the New Year. The wife had conflicts with her husband at first, and then The neighbors came to persuade her, and she understood her husband's work, and finally became a harmonious family..." The more he said, Ji Mian became more incoherent, "What do you think?"

In the darkness, Fu Chenyu was silent for a while.

Ji Mian's eyes turned dark, and he realized that he didn't know what nonsense he was talking about.

He nearly bit off his tongue.

Then, he heard Fu Chenyu say: "I think she's quite ignorant."

Ji Mian was dizzy and her face was hot: "Huh?"

Fu Chenyu said slowly: "If I were the wife of a policeman—" He meant something: "I must be very, very special in understanding my husband's work."

Ji Mian felt that he was suddenly poured a bowl of ecstasy soup, his eyes were blank and he couldn't see anything, so he opened his mouth in a bewildered manner, and answered the wrong question: "Fu Chenyu!"

Fu Chenyu gave a gentle "hmm".

Ji Mian couldn't hold back, and said in a low voice: "Just now, I felt that I seem to have someone I like."

In the darkness, only the sound of Fu Chenyu's long breathing could be heard, and after a long time, I heard him ask very quietly: "Can I know who it is?"
