brother brother

In a rented house less than ten square meters, a two or three-year-old child sat on the bed and cried and vomited. The young man beside him was sweating profusely, coaxed him for a long time, and fed him water several times. The hiccups slowly stopped.

The young man wiped his face with a wet kerchief, helped him change his dirty clothes, and then saw the mobile phone thrown on the bed, and remembered that the phone hadn't been hung up yet.

"I'm sorry, you go on."

Fang Mu's voice came from the phone: "Is Xiao Tao okay?"

"It's okay, I just picked my mouth and vomited after eating."

Mei Jing skillfully carried the child to the chair, surrounded him with a lot of clothes and fixed him in the middle, and repeatedly told Xiao Tao to sit down obediently. There was a fuss, so he obediently sat there and watched Mei Jing busy.

Fang Mu still seemed very worried on the phone: "It's really not possible, why don't you take him to my mother's place to have a look?"

Mei Jing said: "No need, Auntie is busy too, I can't bother her every time."

"Don't bother, you are welcome."

"Well, thank you." Mei Jing smiled, "And..."

"My matter, you have to keep it secret for the time being, and no one can mention it."

"I know, I didn't mention it, I just don't understand, since you still like him, and I don't see anyone else around him, why can't you see him? A few days ago, there was an aunt from the neighborhood committee here to introduce him Object, fortunately I chased her away with wit, but I can guard against one but not a group, think about it, right?"

The phone was suddenly quiet.

Mei Jing smiled wryly.

Back then, he was the one who couldn't withstand the pressure, how could he shamelessly go back and seek reunion at this most desperate time now, Liang Chen was not his dog, he would come and go as soon as he was called.

Besides, even if there is no newcomer around Liang Chen, Mei Jing is not sure if he still has feelings for her, space, time, there are too many variables.

He had fantasized about the reunion of the two of them a thousand times. If he had the chance to meet again, what he most wanted to do was to apologize, to apologize seriously, to tell Liang Chen that he was wrong, to tell him that he regretted it, and to ask him if he could Can't forgive myself.

But thinking about it, he never dared to take this step.

The great changes in life were crushing him little by little. He vaguely remembered that time, when he was not in college, although he was disappointed, he comforted himself for a while, and now he was finally like Liang Chen. .

Looking at it now, it's just a joke. How could it be the same? Liang Chen is no longer the little gangster at school. He has money, a career, and may have a new start at any time.

And I have nothing but Xiaotao.

Mei Jing shook his head, threw out his distracting thoughts, hugged the bed sheet and pressed it into the big basin, poured some washing powder and rubbed it—there was a washing machine in the rented room, but he couldn't bear the little electricity bill, all things could only be washed by hand, The joints were scratched, revealing the bright red flesh. The wound scabbed and then broke and then scabbed again. It went back and forth for several days. It was quite painful at first, but then Mei Jing became numb and didn’t care about it. It just hurts a little when it comes into contact with soap and dish soap.

While the clothes were soaking, he quickly put Xiaotao back on the clean bed, stuffed him with a few toys, rushed to the kitchen to bring out the unfinished noodles from last night, and poured in the leftover porridge that Xiaotao had just eaten Mix together and turn on the stove to heat.

Xiaotao was playing on the bed, stuffing things into his mouth, Mei Jing rushed back and snatched them back, and said forcefully: "How many times have I told you not to put toys in your mouth! If you eat them again, I will beat you !"

To show his attitude, he deliberately patted Xiaotao on the mouth.Xiao Tao feels wronged, grabs the toy and wants to cry again, but Mei Jing reprimands him: "Don't cry!"

It's actually normal for a child to bite a toy, and Mei Jing didn't intend to hurt him, he was really anxious, afraid that he would have diarrhea, he really didn't have the energy to send him to the hospital again and again, and he was also afraid that he would really make trouble because he didn't take good care of himself. seriously ill.

Xiao Tao stared at him with tears in his eyes. It was obvious that he was not convinced, but he couldn't speak. Other people's children could speak simple sentences at this age, and he couldn't even pronounce words.

The doctor said that the frenulum might not be fully developed, and it would be enough to cut it with a knife, but Mei Jing kept procrastinating because he had no money and no time.

The pot on the stove was beeping and steaming, and the lid of the pot was making a rustling sound. Mei Jing sighed, hugged Xiaotao's head and kissed her, and ran back to the kitchen to mix the contents of the pot. With white water, while blowing air, the rice was settled.

After coaxing Xiaotao to sleep at night, Fang Mu sent two photos of Liang Chen's work.

One is that he is bending over to screw the screws, the muscles of his back and arms are clearly textured; the other is that he is chatting with a client, the beautiful boy in the photo seems to like him very much, looking at him from the side, he is talking to Liang Chen The facial expression is cheerful and radiant.

Fang Mu was afraid that Mei Jing would think too much, so after posting the photo message, he added: Don't worry, that person is a customer, Brother Liang didn't talk to him much, and the phone number was obtained after desperately begging for a long time, the work number.

Mei Jing replied to him: It's okay, thank you.

It's normal even if the two of them have something, Mei Jing kept telling herself.Liang Chen is single, he has the freedom to like anyone.

Thinking of "like", Mei Jing's heart twitched.

Liang Chen has lost weight, the line of his mandible is harder and colder than before, and his Adam's apple is prominent, but his eyebrows and eyes are still the same as in his heart.

Mei Jing silently saved the picture and set it as a screen saver, so that she can sneak a few times every day when using her phone.

That night, Xiaotao couldn't sleep well because of an accident during the day, and woke up crying several times in the middle of the night. Mei Jing kept hugging him, patted him, and then fell asleep.He also slept very restlessly, having nightmares all night, sometimes Liang Chen pushed him against the wall to beat him, sometimes Liang Chen dragged others to walk in front, and he yelled over and over again in the back Follow his name.

Finally, Liang Chen turned around, Mei Jing didn't see his face clearly in the dream, and only heard an indifferent voice that he had never heard before saying: "You misidentified the person."

Then the camera turned, and it was the hospital. He was standing in the cold corridor, and he saw the person who was talking to him just now, lying on the bed, with a tube inserted all over his body, and his face was covered by a sheet, but he still couldn't see.

Mei Jing was startled awake. When she woke up, her pajamas were soaked in cold sweat. The room was pitch black, and there was not even a little moonlight outside. Xiao Tao was sleeping soundly with a toy beside him.

Mei Jing took out the phone from under the pillow and looked at it. It was [-]:[-] in the morning, which was still early.

He was a little tired, so he closed his eyes again, thinking about the back of the man in the dream, a little annoyed why he didn't see his face clearly.

In this way, he can see Liang Chen again.
