brother brother

The first half of the third year of junior high school passed quickly, and Xu Zhiyuan climbed from the bottom of the class to the middle position. Although it was not much, at least it was no problem to enter high school.

A lot of things happened in the past six months. For some unknown reason, Liang Chen suddenly changed schools at this time, and lost track of everyone, including Xu Wenyuan, who was very close to him a while ago.

The teacher only said it was because of his father's work relationship, but everyone including Mei Jing knew where his father got a serious job.

When Mei Jing first found out about this, it was like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and she stood there blankly for a while before recovering.

He thought how could it be, it's impossible, Liang Chen used his bicycle to drive himself home from school yesterday, and the two of them bought rice cake skewers along the way, when they were about to get home, Liang Chen said to him "see you tomorrow" as usual, Oh yes, they also met Wang Yang, this little follower was entangled by an old friend and blocked at the entrance of the alley again, Liang Chen helped him out, Wang Yang cried bitterly while grabbing his schoolbag and calling "Ms. It made him and Liang Chen feel embarrassed, and in the end he even cost himself a handkerchief.He remembered that Liang Chen patted Wang Yang on the shoulder and told him not to cause trouble again.

Mei Jing recalled yesterday several times, but couldn't find any clues that Liang Chen would disappear. He thought they were friends, and he thought that if Liang Chen had anything to do, he would at least let him know, so he wondered if Liang Chen was going on a trip Or he forgot to ask for leave from school because of something, he didn't believe that he would disappear like this.

After school, Mei Jing didn't stay for a second and ran to Liang Chen's house to stay. At first, she was afraid of disturbing him, so Mei Jing only dared to hide behind the streetlight across the street with her schoolbag in her arms, staring at the window of Liang Chen's house.I don’t know how long I waited until it was dark, and the two rows of street lamps were turned on. People who got off work rushed home. The windows of every house were filled with light, and there was a sense of reunion in the air. Only the window of Liang Chen's house was still dark.

Mei Jing was not reconciled, and then for several days he lied to his family that he had to attend cram school at school because of his stressful studies in the third grade of junior high school, and then bought two cakes and ran to Liang Chen's house to sit there for hours, until midnight Just go back.

The neighbor next door really couldn't bear it, so he told him that the family had moved out long ago, and told him not to wait any longer.

Unwilling to give up, Mei Jing went to the neighborhood committee to ask, only to find out that their original house was also rented, and the father and son kept migrating like footless birds.

"Are you his classmate? Don't look for it, they must have moved away. I heard that their family hasn't stayed in one place for more than two years."

"why?"

"I don't know. It seems that his father is avoiding debts, right? He doesn't have a serious job, and he deserves to go to a private school. This kid is also pitiful. Having such a father can be regarded as bad luck for him in eight lifetimes."

Mei Jing was hit hard, and her grades plummeted by [-] or [-] places in half a year. The teacher had to call her parents to the school to find out the situation, but no one had a clue. Xu Zhiyuan was the only one who had a good relationship with Mei Jing besides Liang Chen. The teacher entrusted him to inquire about the situation.

Xu Zhiyuan took him to eat fast food after school, and ordered a whole bucket of fried chicken, but Mei Jing still seemed to have no appetite.

"Eat it quickly, it won't taste good when it's cold! You can't eat the spicy one."

Mei Jing lifted the lid of the Coke, squeezed some ketchup on it, and gnawed bit by bit with the French fries on it: "Thank you."

"Huh? Thanks for what?"

"Thank you for asking me to eat."

"Hey, I just treat you to a chicken. I'm so happy today. It's mainly because my brother participated in a math competition a few days ago. Today's ranking came down. The first prize, my dad thinks about it when he is happy." Get him a mobile phone, but this idiot doesn't want it, I'm so mad!"

Mei Jing tore the chicken and put it in his mouth to bite, it didn't taste good, Xu Zhiyuan was still talking in front of him, his long legs dangling triumphantly under the table.

"My brother is really good, right? Now my mother praises everyone when she goes out to sell vegetables, and the whole community will soon know..."

He knew that the math competition was held in the district. He originally wanted to participate in it, but unfortunately the teacher revoked his qualification due to his poor condition recently, but it didn't matter to him anymore. He didn't even have time to say a few words to him, maybe they will never meet again in this life.

"Hey, what are you thinking?" Xu Zhiyuan waved his hand in front of him, "Do you have something on your mind? The teacher sued me for coming here, and asked me to chat with you more, what's the matter?"

Mei Jing came back to her senses and took a big gulp of Coke.

"Good congratulations."

It's simply not right.

Xu Zhiyuan shook the chicken bone that he had finished chewing: "Hey, tell me the truth, have you lost your relationship?"

Mei Jing trembled, and the Coke cup in her hand almost burst.

"Hey—that's right, which girl? What is the girl in your class? Or is it the one with long legs in the lower grade? What's her name? It's not important, I can't remember the name."

Mei Jing shook his head, Xu Zhiyuan guessed more and more outrageous, and finally even the teacher guessed it, Mei Jing's face was flushed from ears to the root of the neck, the white and tender neck was particularly conspicuous under the light, Xu Zhiyuan thought he was right, tsk tsk Qi Qi: "It's rare that you also have someone you like. I thought you might still be a virgin when you reach your thirties."

"Everywhere... nothing!"

Xu Zhiyuan laughed: "Hey, don't be nervous, it's okay to be a virgin, I'm also a virgin, why is my heart sprouting, then when will I take you to open your eyes?"

Mei Jing looked around in a panic, worried that the next table would overhear, wishing she could cover the mouth of the person opposite on the spot.

"I don't like girls!"

Xu Zhiyuan teased casually while sipping Coke: "If you're not a girl, can you still be a man?"

Mei Jing was silent.

At this time, Xu Zhiyuan's gnawing on the chicken wings slowed down a little bit. He seemed to know something serious, but the situation was a bit embarrassing, and he didn't know how to ask again.

"Uh...really?"

Mei Jing nodded and buried her face in her arms.Xu Zhiyuan suddenly thought of the way Mei Jing gave Liang Chen a Coke at Christmas in the second year of junior high school, and then thought of Liang Chen's recent transfer to another school, and Mei Jing's state of wilting suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration, and although he found it unbelievable, he still asked cautiously: "Yes... then what... Liang Chen?"

Mei Jing blushed even more.

"Then does he know?"

"I don't know, I didn't... I didn't say."

"Oh."

I didn't say it was normal, if Mei Jing didn't ask about his personality, he would probably just rot in his stomach for the rest of his life.Now that Liang Chen is leaving without saying goodbye, he must be very sad. Although Xu Zhiyuan has never been in a relationship, he has watched TV and read a lot of comic novels.

Xu Zhiyuan stuffed another piece of chicken to Mei Jing: "Don't be sad, maybe you two will meet again in the future if you are destined."

Mei Jing pinched her fingertips firmly into her palm: "I didn't expect him to accept it. It was just... so I think it would be fine if I could go to school with him every day. It won't be too late to talk about it later. ……did not expect……"

Xu Zhiyuan was at a loss for words again, he felt that what Mei Jing said was far beyond his cognition, the only thing he didn't understand was why he had to hide in his heart when he liked someone?Why not?Why be afraid?

He's a little curious about what it's like to be in love, even if it's unrequited love.

Xu Zhiyuan was also a little dazed when he went home that day, and returned to the bedroom as if wandering after dinner.

Seeing that he was not in the right state, Xu Wenyuan followed him in and asked him what was wrong.

Xu Zhiyuan sat on the edge of the bed and rubbed his knees for a long time, and finally he thought about it and asked, "Brother, tell me, what is liking?"

Xu Wenyuan's expression was blank for a second, and suddenly he grabbed his younger brother's shoulder: "Do you have someone you like?"

"what?"

"Then who told you?"

Xu Wenyuan's strength was a little too strong, and it hurt his brother's shoulder blades.Xu Zhiyuan couldn't bear it anymore and shouted out his brother, so he let go with an apologetic face.

"No one told me... I just... Mei... Hey, I can't explain clearly, and I can't figure it out. I'm just a junior high school student..."

Xu Wenyuan pulled up a chair and sat down honestly opposite him and said, "You ask me this, and I don't understand, but I think I probably want to be with someone all the time."

Just like his grandparents, like many people in his village who were buried together in the ancestral grave in the back mountain, he guessed that they should like it. If they didn't like it, how could they be willing to be together for a lifetime?Xu Wenyuan suddenly thought of his mother again. He was already vague about the woman's appearance, but he guessed that she probably didn't like him and his father, because she didn't want to be together, because she couldn't wait to escape, because when they were together, she always No more tears.

Xu Zhiyuan suddenly felt something moved in his heart, he raised his head and asked Xu Wenyuan gently: "Do you like it if you want to be together forever?"

"Probably so."

"Brother...do you want to be with me?"

The air froze, Xu Zhiyuan felt his throat dry, and felt that the deer in his chest was about to rush out uncontrollably.

After waiting for a long time, Xu Wenyuan patted his head lightly and said, "You are my younger brother, of course we will always be together."

This answer was very standard and perfect, but Xu Zhiyuan suddenly felt a little disappointed. He felt that this was not what he wanted. What else did he want to ask, but he didn't know what to ask. This topic was too unfamiliar to him.

On the last day, the conversation between the two ended with the sudden appearance of Xu Yongshan. Xu Yongshan insisted on giving Xu Wenyuan a mobile phone, which was the latest flip phone with a color screen from abroad.This is very fashionable in the current era when most of the domestic public phones are still used. They have just replaced the BP machines themselves.

Xu Wenyuan refused again and again. He felt that even Xu Zhiyuan didn’t have one, so how could he accept it casually? In the end, Xu Yongshan had no choice but to promise them that if they passed the high school entrance examination, they would give him and Xu Zhiyuan a mobile phone, which made Xu Wenyuan reluctantly. promise.

What he thought was, if there was something unique that no one else had, it would be great if he could be connected with his younger brother. little secret.
