Sediment rises

Lin Congxuan's mind stopped thinking, he couldn't hear anything else, he could only hear Chen Zuo's last sentence "I like you, love you".His heart seemed to be jumping out of his chest. In a panic, he broke free from Chen Zui and quickly entered the door and closed it tightly.

Lin Congxuan sat on the ground leaning against the sliding door, and he heard Chen Zui apologizing and confessing his love in his familiar clear voice outside.

He used to firmly believe that Chen Zui liked him. Although he didn't understand why Chen Zui went abroad suddenly, and he didn't understand why Chen Zui was so indifferent after getting married, but he always remembered that Chen Gaosan impressed him on the swing in the yard that year. The kiss that was like a superficial kiss.

He actually woke up that day, but he still closed his eyes and didn't want to wake up. He lazily lay on Chen Zui's shoulder to enjoy the tranquility of late summer and early autumn when the twilight was all together and the clouds were setting in the evening.Then he felt something soft touch his lips lightly, and his tongue lightly licked the corner of his mouth.

At that moment, Lin Congxuan's heart beat like a drum, his eyelashes trembled but he didn't dare to open his eyes, because he felt that it was Chen Zui's lips.

It took him a while to pretend that he had just woken up, and secretly raised his eyes to look at Chen Zui's profile. Under the light, the corners of Chen Zui's mouth were slightly raised, and he was smiling.

Since then, Lin Congxuan has quietly decided in his heart that Chen likes himself the most, and only those who like someone will want to kiss each other, right?

Until that day when he accidentally broke into Chen Zui's room and saw Yu Cong's photo, this certainty was torn apart like the broken Starry Sky Cup.

But after he had completely convinced himself that "Xiao Xu doesn't like me", why did Chen Zui suddenly hug him and say he likes him just now?

Lin Congxuan's mind was in a mess, and he couldn't think of a reason. He buried his head in his knees, trying to temporarily block all the sounds in the world.

After lying on the ground for a long time, Lin Congxuan felt his trousers being pulled. He raised his head, and the custard bag hung his claws on his trousers with big innocent eyes, trying to climb up. Lin Congxuan hugged it on his knees Touch it with the tip of its nose.

Custard Bao seemed to see that Lin Congxuan was unhappy. It stuck out its tongue and licked Lin Congxuan's chin, and then desperately scratched the small tag on its neck with its claws.The small tag of the custard bag was made by Chen Zui, and the words "Crame Yellow Bag" on it were also in Chen Zui's handwriting, and Lin Congxuan was never willing to pick it off.Seeing that the custard bag seemed uncomfortable, he carefully helped it take off the leather strap.The custard bag that had successfully retired jumped off Lin Congxuan's lap, and walked away with arrogant steps.

Lin Congxuan held the nametag in his palm, and then slowly spread it out. The next second, he saw a line of extremely small characters written on the back of the nametag: Xiaoxuan, I love you, earnestly and cowardly, from beginning to end.

Lin Congxuan was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses. Holding the name tag of the custard bag, he looked up at the doorknob above his head, hesitated for a moment or lowered his eyes.

Chen Zui stood outside the door and babbled a lot of confession. He knew that Xiaoxuan must be close to the door to listen, but Xiaoxuan didn't open the door and didn't speak.Until late at night, Chen was most afraid of disturbing Lin Congxuan by disturbing the rest of the residents at the opposite door, so he dragged his distraught body back to his home.

Since that day, Lin Congxuan has not been out of the house again, and Chen can only rely on the time Lin Congxuan spent every day tending potted plants on the balcony to confirm that he is safe and sound.He still delivered breakfast to Lin Congxuan every day, with a card in each breakfast.

Because Lin Congxuan already knew that he lived upstairs, Chen Zui became more courageous. He would ring the doorbell to remind Xiaoxuan after breakfast.

A few nights later, Chen Zui got off work to pick up the lunch box and found that it was much lighter. He returned home and opened the lunch box. The breakfast in it had already been eaten, and after cleaning, it contained some hot and sour pickled radish.That night, Chen Zui ate two big bowls of rice with sour radish.

Lin Congxuan's small change was a great encouragement to Chen Zui. He was overjoyed by this incident for several days, and called his parents to tell him about it.

Yang Qiaoshan cried with relief on the phone. The fetters of the two children cannot be summed up by a single love. The two of them work together to form the word "person" of "life". Will continue to support.Fortunately, they were kind and persistent, and they achieved reconciliation in their own way.

Since then, all the things Chen Zui placed at the door of Lin Congxuan's house have been received one by one.

This year's winter rarely sees the sun, and it has been gloomy for several days in a row. It is obviously a look that the sky is coming late, but it suddenly rains heavily in the middle of the night, accompanied by heavy raindrops hitting the glass. Thunder.

Chen Zui was a light sleeper at first, and he woke up dimly when the raindrops hit the glass window, and he woke up completely when the thunder rumbled.What flashed through his mind was the image of Lin Congxuan smashing his head against the wall on that thunderous rainy night a few months ago.

Before he had time to think about it, Chen Zui picked up his slippers and rushed out of the house.It was pitch black outside, and I couldn't see my fingers. The lights in the corridor were not on, probably because of a power outage.

Panting heavily, Chen Zuo groped for the safe passage according to his memory. Because of his impatience, he forgot that the residents next door often used the public area for private use and put their children's walkers on the stairs.As a result, he stumbled when he stepped out, and then his center of gravity was unstable and he fell forward. Gulu rolled down the stairs twice, and hit the back of his head firmly against the wall.

The severe pain made Chen Zui gasp. He lay down on the ground for a while to make sure his hands and feet were not broken. Then he crawled up by touching the ground, and limped off the handrail of the stairs. building.

"Xiaoxuan? Are you okay?"

When he reached the door of Lin Congxuan's house, Chen Zui knocked on the door hastily, but there was no movement inside. He knocked on the door again, but there was still no movement.Just when he thought he was overreacting, there was a clear sound of glass breaking inside.

Chen most didn't care about others and knocked open the door sideways. The room was pitch black. He found the location of the master bedroom based on his memory, and when he opened the door, he heard low sobs.

Chen Zui's throat tightened, and he called softly, "Xiaoxuan?"

What responded to him was Mantou's timid "meow" in the dark. It was awakened by the thunder and jumped up and smashed a vase in the room. Knowing that it had caused trouble, it was huddled in the dark corner with the custard at the moment.

"Xiaoxuan?" Chen Zui called out again.

The sobbing stopped, followed by a rustling sound, and after a while Lin Congxuan called out uncertainly: "Xiao Xu?"

"It's me!" Chen Zui dragged his injured right leg to the edge of the bed and sat down. He touched Lin Congxuan's slender wrist, wrapped his hand into his own, and told Lin Congxuan: "I am here. !"

Lin Congxuan flinched, he clenched his lips in the dark, struggled in his heart, then he rushed to Chen Zui in the dark, and burst into tears: "Xiao Xu, I, I'm scared."

"Don't be afraid, I'm here, always."

Chen Zui hugged Lin Congxuan tightly with the strength he wanted to embed into his body, and answered firmly.

Xiaoxuan always seems to be timid, but in fact he is very strong and rarely says he is afraid.Chen Zui once asked him when he was in high school, why he still confronted the gangsters even though he was trembling with fear?

Lin Congxuan said at the time: "Father said that fear will not change the outcome, but will make the bad guys more proud."

Chen Zui's response was: "In the future, if you are afraid, you can tell your brother that he will be by your side to protect you for the rest of his life."

Therefore, Lin Congxuan would only say that he was afraid in front of Chen Zui.

It’s just that Chen was the most dishonest, disappeared for four years, and remained indifferent for three years. During these seven years, Xiaoxuan probably digested those fears in a low voice like today, and then told himself to be strong and brave.

"Don't be afraid, brother is here and will always guard you from now on." Chen Zui repeated.

Lin Congxuan grabbed Chen Zui's silk pajamas tightly with his hands around Chen Zui's back, and then he buried Chen Zui's chest and tapped hard.

"Xiao Xu."

"I'm here."

"Xiao Xu."

"I'm here."

"Xiao Xu."

"I'm here."

……

Lin Congxuan was afraid that he was dreaming, so he called Chen Zui's name over and over again, and Chen Zui answered over and over again.In the end, Lin Congxuan finally confirmed that the Chen holding him was the real Xiao Xu, the warm Xiao Xu, and the Xiao Xu he was familiar with.
