Sediment rises

Chen Zui looked at Lin Congxuan's thin back and felt a little dazed. This back looked too much like Yu Cong, as if he would feel a little bit guilty after doing these things.

Back in the room, Chen Zui saw a faint water stain on the wooden floor, the size of a coin, and it seemed that there was a faint salty smell.He stepped on it with disgust on his face, the crocodile's tears are not worthy of sympathy.

He picked up the framed photo on the bedside table, in the photo Yu Cong's mouth was pursed into a straight line.

Yu Cong didn't like to take pictures since he was a child. He was so quarreled by Lin Congxuan that day that he had no choice but to take this photo with an unhappy face. Unexpectedly, it became the only photo they had together.Of course, this photo would be perfect if it didn't have the jungle selection on it.

Chen Zui touched Yu Cong's youthful face in the photo, and sighed deeply, seven years.

He opened the floor-to-ceiling windows and walked to the balcony, lit a cigarette, took a deep breath and swallowed it into his lungs, relying on the stale air of nicotine hitting his chest, and then exhaled it all together.

It was late summer and early autumn, and the cicadas outside were still screaming non-stop, which was more pleasant than Lin Congxuan's screaming.It reminded Chen most of that summer more than seven years ago, the summer when he and Yu Cong graduated.

"Ah Cong, shall we take a photo?"

Lin Congxuan chased after Yu Cong with big black eyes, begging to take a photo together, while Chen Zui followed behind the two of them.

The driver, Uncle Zhao, walked beside Chen Zui and said, "Xiaoxuan has asked for leave since last week, saying that he is going to attend your graduation ceremony. He doesn't like to cut his hair, and he always has to be coaxed by you before he is willing to go." Cut, yesterday he even took the initiative to tell me to take him to a haircut, saying that he couldn't embarrass you."

Chen Zhi smiled lightly, and looked at Lin Congxuan in front of him. Originally, his facial features were good-looking, but after cutting his hair short, his facial features became more prominent. Today, he also matched it with a small white shirt, which attracted the attention of many girls along the way. .He thought, it's a good thing Lin Congxuan didn't study in their school, otherwise he didn't know how many girls would be attracted to him.

In front, Yu Cong shook off Lin Congxuan's hand fiercely, and said impatiently: "Don't bother me, I won't take pictures! You are only a sophomore in high school, and you don't study in our school, what kind of graduation photo should I take with you?!"

Lin Congxuan was at a loss, he turned his head and stared at Chen Zui innocently, then turned to look at Yu Cong.

Chen Zhiqing sighed, grabbed Lin Congxuan's hand and caught up with Yu Cong. He said, "Yu Cong, it seems that we have never taken a photo together since we were young. Let's take a picture together."

"Stop, I grew up with your childhood sweetheart, and I'm not like him. If you want to shoot us, don't take him."

Lin Congxuan was a little injured, he hid behind Uncle Zhao, and whispered: "Then, can I help you take pictures?"

Chen most felt sorry for Lin Congxuan. His father and Yu Cong's father had known each other since they were young. They were both friends and business partners.There is a seven-day difference in birth date between him and Yu Cong, and they have known each other since they were babies. They are true childhood sweethearts, while Lin Congxuan suddenly moved into their home three years ago.

Lin Congxuan's father, Lin Qiang, was Chen Zui's father's work assistant. When Chen was the youngest, he met Lin Congxuan several times in his father's company. He always stayed alone in the reception room playing Rubik's Cube, with his head curled up like an owl. Ken looks people in the eye.

Later, Chen Zui learned through his father's dictation that Lin Congxuan was a high-functioning autistic patient with problems such as social interaction barriers and communication barriers.Because Lin Congxuan's mother died when he was very young, Lin Congxuan was often taken to the company by his father when he was left unattended during holidays.Fortunately, apart from poor communication, he doesn't do some outrageous behaviors. Everyone in the company likes him very much.

After knowing this, Chen Zui was strongly urged by his father not to tease Lin Congxuan and to take care of him more.At that time, Chen Zui also retorted that I might not come to your company several times a year, so why should I take care of him? I can only take care of him if you let him live in our house.

Unexpectedly, his words came true.

Three years ago, his father went to inspect a construction site that was about to be completed. On that day, a strong wind blew a steel pipe from a height of more than ten floors down.When the danger approached, Lin Congxuan's father sacrificed his life to protect his father, but he died because the rescue failed.Not long after, Lin Congxuan moved into Chen Zui's house and became his unrelated younger brother. Lin Congxuan was only 14 years old at that time.

His father said to him very seriously that day: "His father saved my life, and he will be your younger brother from now on. I want you to remember that our family owes him a life. You must protect him with all your strength in this life."

Afterwards, Chen Zui, the only son, had a younger brother and assumed the responsibility of being an older brother.

High-functioning autism, also known as mild autism, Lin Congxuan has received intervention treatment since he was a child, and he has recovered very well. Apart from social barriers and communication barriers, there will be some stereotyped behaviors, but his IQ development is at a normal level.The sudden death of his father caused Lin Congxuan, who was already suffering from autism, to suffer from dissociative conversion disorder. He forgot some things related to his father and refused to communicate with anyone. He kept screaming and surrounded the room. Walk in circles until you faint.

It took Chen Zui three months to get to know Lin Congxuan slowly and healed Lin Congxuan before he allowed Lin Congxuan to speak again and made Lin Congxuan to rely on him. When Lin Congxuan loses control of his emotions, Chen is the only doctor who can calm him down most quickly.

"The three of us will shoot together, and I promise you to go to the bar with you at night."

Pulling away from the memories, Chen couldn't bear the loss of Lin Congxuan the most, and approached Yu Cong to negotiate with him quietly.

Yu Cong has been an adult for several months and has always wanted to go to the bar to have fun.However, due to the students' behavioral norms and his father's majesty, he has never dared to go. Today is the graduation ceremony. He lied to his father that he could return late for dinner with his classmates, so he formed a game and went to the bar in the city center. They asked Chen Zui together, but were rejected by Chen Zui.

"You are too used to Lin Congxuan, you don't want the principles you have always insisted on for him?" Yu Cong mocked him.

Chen Zui glanced at Lin Congxuan who was holding the camera like a deer looking forward and smiled, but did not answer.

In the end, the three of them left that special "graduation photo".

A gust of hot evening wind swept by, and a crumbling piece of soot was finally scattered in the wind.Chen Zui stubbed out the cigarette butt, and looked down at the window of Lin Congxuan's room downstairs. There was no light, and he had already fallen asleep.

He closed his eyes and swept away the flashing complex emotions, then turned and entered the room.
