Little Slag Rebirth

The time in the ancient town is leisurely and comfortable, like another world. There is no traffic, no feasting, and people's desires seem to be particularly easy to be satisfied here. The slow-paced life makes people feel that time is stagnant and eternal.

However, in the end it was just an illusion.Mu Lianxia by the window sighed, they had spent nearly a week here, the happiness and leisure almost made him forget about the upcoming parting.

The happier you are, the more restless you are.

It was raining today, and the pattering raindrops fell on the wooden window sills, making tiny splashes.Mu Lianxia stretched out his hand, and after a while, a puddle of water gathered in the palm of his hand. The water accumulated a lot, and flowed out from between his fingers. He pursed his pink lips childishly, and then covered the other hand in his hand. Below, the water stagnated for a moment, and then flowed out along the gap again.

No matter how hard he tries, there are always some things that he can't do anything about, such as the flowing water between his fingers, or the time that never stands still for anyone.

The slender black eyelashes were drawn down, the child lowered his head, silently watching the raindrops falling from his hands, the corners of his tightly pursed lips turned white, showing a stubborn and stubborn arc.As soon as Mu Xiangqiu came in, he saw such a scene. The child in front of him was inexplicably pitiful.He walked behind the child, did not stop the child's silly movements, but put his chin lightly on the child's shoulder, watched quietly, after a long while, he also stretched out his hand.

A pair of slender skeletal hands rested under the child's immature little hands. After being wet by the rain, they showed a somewhat warm color. The child was a little dazed. Even in the rain, these hands were warm, that silent but firm gesture, It seems to be saying that you can rely on and trust without hesitation at any time.

Enough of being in a daze, Mu Lianxia pouted lightly, "Stupid?"

Unexpectedly, the person behind him seemed to really think about this question seriously, and replied: "It's quite stupid."

...Give me back my former loyal and kind brother, but you are a counterfeit alien, right? !

Mu Xiangqiu couldn't help laughing when he saw the child's round eyes looking like they were going to explode.

The young man's cold voice echoed in the pattering rain, giving off a moist and soft meaning.Mu Lianxia was so close to him, so close that even the vibration of his chest and the firm curvature of his jaw could be felt real and clearly.

The transparent rainwater slowly slipped from the overlapping fingers of the two people without stopping.Mu Xiangqiu gently separated the child's tightly knit fingers, and the accumulated rainwater poured down instantly, "Water will eventually flow away, no matter how tightly we hold our hands."

"These hands don't hold all we want

stuff, it has nothing to do with what we think, it has nothing to do with effort, it's just the facts. "

Wen Yan's big amber eyes dimmed again, but the person behind him continued: "But there are always things you can hold." His slender fingers intertwined with the child's short little hands Holding hands, slowly closing them together, "We just need to grab the most important thing."

Mu Xiangqiu kissed the child's heart, "It doesn't matter if you don't understand now, one day, Lianxia will understand." At that time, you will grow up, because, at that time, you must have persisted no matter what. And persistent things, you will become brave, strong, and fearless for that existence.

Grasp the most important thing...Mu Lianxia withdrew the hands of the two people from the window, wiped the corner of the clothes of the person behind him, and then relaxed his body and leaned against his lap. In his arms, "Brother."

"Huh?" Mu Xiangqiu looked at his ravaged clothes with some dumbfounding, this... could he be understood as being coquettish.

The child's voice was lazy, but he secretly watched his reaction from the corner of his eyes, "It's boring when it rains, I can't do anything."

In Mu Xiangqiu's eyes, this kind of cunning look, who didn't know that he had betrayed his thoughts, was so cute, and the cheerful elder brother said kindly and politely: "The baby Say what are we going to do?"

The kitten, who was pretending to be pitiful in his arms just now, suddenly regained his spirits, his amber eyes were shining brightly, and he meowed happily, "Brother, let's celebrate our birthday!"

Speaking of birthdays, both brothers' birthdays are in winter, but Mu Lianxia is before the Chinese New Year, while Mu Xiangqiu is after the Chinese New Year, so strictly speaking, Mu Xiangqiu is almost five years older than Mu Lianxia .There is still less than half a year before the next birthday of the two of them, and Mu Xiangqiu will be leaving in a few days. No matter whose next birthday it is, it seems that the two of them cannot live together.Mu Lianxia thought, the important thing about birthday is not which day it is celebrated, but who it is celebrated with, right?

This cognition came about so naturally that Mu Lianxia didn't even realize how important she had placed Mu Xiangqiu in her heart.

Mu Xiangqiu was stunned for a moment after hearing the child's words, and then rubbed his little head, "Okay." Perhaps, they are all like this.

But... You just decide your life privately like this (?!), ahem, celebrate your birthday privately, I will cry for you!

Not caring that it was still raining outside, the two went out holding an umbrella.

The bluestone streets were wetted by the rain and turned into a darker blue color. Mu Lianxia took that warm hand and stepped on the road.

Passing a block of stone slabs, I suddenly realized——

How many things did he do today that were too bad for him? He came out to press the road on a rainy day or something... Besides, his good brother Mu Xiangqiu also committed crimes with him without any complaints. It really hurts. I can't afford to hurt...

Finally, Mu Lianxia found something that can make her birthday not look so silly. He dragged Mu Xiangqiu into the only pastry shop in the ancient town that was still open on this rainy day, and his heart was relieved. Tone, finally back on track.

The shopkeeper who thought there were no customers today was flipping through magazines in a very boring way. After seeing two figures, one big and one small walking into the shop, the eyes that were about to close widened instantly, and then the brightness was close to the maximum power of the light bulb. The villain in my heart is jumping up excitedly at this moment and starting to smash the wall. How happy it is to have the beautiful boy and Moe Zhengtai patronize me on this rainy day~~

Mu Lianxia looked at the store with eyes that were extraordinarily energetic for some reason, and coughed lightly, "Well, we want a birthday cake."

"No problem!" The shopkeeper grabbed the pastry chef who was dozing off beside her with a vigorous movement that didn't suit her petite figure, "I can start making it right away, what flavor does my little brother like? Do you like fruit? Chocolate Not bad, we have released a new flavor recently, do you want to try it?......"

Mu Lianxia looked at the eloquent shopkeeper, he looked... really enthusiastic, he couldn't refuse, right?

It's your sister... The hulking pastry chef's hands are shaking, that little brother over there, don't stare at me with such expectant and bright eyes like a searchlight, can you, you weirdos It's a weird request that I will do it obediently, so don't torture me in this way anymore, we really can't bear it.

However, the person involved still had a look of indifference, "Hey, uncle, here is a flower... Well, it's a little small, can you put more cream, forget it, and add another flower next to it." Bar."

Pastry Chef==: No matter how big it is, no matter how big it is, it’s a bully. My child, and which one of your eyes sees that there are such things as "sides", which are clearly full of them. Okay, let me stack one go up!

The sad pastry chef squeezed out a professional smile, and replied: "Okay." I will give you all this bag of cream to become a little ancestor, so don't make trouble. To be honest, this cake is really good except for me. I don't believe that someone else can do it, and being guided by such a "hands-on" guide, how strong is the psychological endurance to persevere.Boss, I strongly demand a salary increase!

The shopkeeper who had completely forgotten about him was blushing at the moment, looking at the serious child and the indifferent but patient boy waiting beside him, he felt a tingle in his heart.

A series of screams - what a loving and harmonious scene, if it is a benefit of not closing on rainy days, then she will open every day in the future, no matter the weather, even if a tornado comes, it can't stop her determination !

By the time the cake is finally done, the pastry chef is already limp, and it's a tough battle, really.

Mu Lianxia satisfactorily put two candles on the weirdly shaped cake, and the orange fire light illuminated his eyes, "Let's make a wish, brother." As he said, the child crossed his hands under his chin, and in the bottom of his heart He made his wish cautiously, and then, together with the young man who slowly opened his eyes, blew out the candle.

"Lianxia, ​​what wish did you make?"

The child blinked innocently, "It won't work if you say it." After speaking, he glanced at the boy who started cutting the cake, and couldn't help asking, "What wish did brother make?"

Mu Xiangqiu smiled dotingly and gently, but the words he said made the child grit his teeth, "It won't work if you say it."

The child scratched his head anxiously, "It's okay, I won't tell others, really."

Putting the cut cake in front of the child, Mu Xiangqiu thought for a while, leaned closer to the child's ear, the words stopped before he could speak, he chuckled, his eyes were as black as ink, but his tone was teasing, " I will not tell you."

Lifting a rock and hitting her own foot or something, Mu Lianxia said that it was really a very difficult thing.

Because of Mu Lianxia's weird habit, the cream on the cake was really "rich". Mu Xiangqiu looked at the happy child, then looked at the cake in his hand, and took a bite hesitantly.Swallowing the contents of his mouth while drinking coffee, he put down the cake calmly, watching the child's satisfied eating with concentration, with a helpless and doting smile in his eyes, he was indeed a child, and he liked this kind of sweet and greasy cake. greasy stuff.

It wasn't until after eating a piece that Mu Lianxia raised his head that he noticed his brother's playful eyes, laughing, what are you laughing at, he just likes smooth and tender cream and soft cakes, that kind of eyes like looking at rare animals is What's going on... His eyes fell on the piece of cake that was barely touched on Mu Xiangqiu's plate. Mu Lianxia almost wanted to throw himself over his shoulder. He almost forgot that although his brother also eats sweets, Don't touch such sweet and greasy things, let alone this one with "addition".

Mu Lianxia, ​​who felt that her sins were so deep that there was nothing she could pay for, took the cake from her brother's plate and began to... gnaw.

The child handed over the cake with the gnawed cream. Mu Xiangqiu glanced at the gnawed cake, ate it indifferently, and patted the child's head, "Thank you Lianxia."

Shopkeeper: This kind of unprincipled love is really instant kill

~~Brother eats the cake that was ravaged by my brother in line with the principle of not wasting food, do you dare to be sweeter!

In the end, the two brothers left under the reluctance of the store owner and the resentful eyes of the pastry chef. As for the pastry chef's strong demand for a salary increase after that, no one cared. ╮(╯_╰)╭

On this day, the two brothers spent their birthday ahead of schedule, which was supposed to come after a long time.

airport, outside the gate

Mu Lianxia hugged the person who was about to leave one last time, and showed him a big smile, "I'll wait for you to come back, brother."

Mu Xiangqiu saw the child's appearance deeply in his eyes and engraved it in his mind. He nodded slightly, as if making a promise, "Okay."

The Mu family stood aside and did not disturb the last farewell. The relationship between the two children was much deeper than their own. From birth to the present, these two children have been together, crying, playing, studying, growing up.Now, they are finally separated, for the sake of the wider world and the future they expect from each other.

This year, Mu Lianxia was 12 years old and Mu Xiangqiu was 16 years old.

This year, they finally began to learn to adapt to life without another person.

With you by my side, I will have the courage to face the unknown;

If you are not around, I have to be brave and strong, and work hard to grow up, so that when we meet each other again, we can smile, because you have taken good care of yourself these years.

What they want is not to be each other's appendages, but to support each other and walk side by side all the time.

The author has something to say: Regarding the article [This is really 50 yuan for two rings]:

Xiao Feng: "Hey, Uncle Qin, everyone is discussing whether the author wants to open a branch line of fantasy space, and you can't open it?"

Uncle Qin [nods firmly]: "It must be opened, how can our young master be dismissed by 50 yuan of stones, no matter what happens, it must have special abilities!"

Sun Shaobin: "But once the space branch is opened, this article will basically collapse. Maybe we will be sent by the author of Brain Twitch to fight the Alpha Stars."

Xiaofeng-_-#: "Alpha Stars are all peace-loving. They didn't mess with you bastard!"

A certain white [background sound]: "This damn ring..."
