Drowning Reborn

During the days spent in the summer resort, Jiang Zechen didn't make any friends, and he didn't bother to deliberately make it difficult for himself to make friends with others, so he was basically alone.Although Jiang Zehan took good care of him, it was impossible to pay attention to him all the time, and Jiang Zechen himself did not like to cling to others. After confirming to the adults that the nearby mountains and forests were safe, , and spent most of his time running around all over the mountains and plains.

Although Jiang Zechen himself thought that he was quite measured and would come back on time for every lunch and dinner, but for Jiang Zehan who regarded his younger brother as a real seven-year-old child, such a behavior could not reassure him at all.

In the beginning, Jiang Zehan was able to patiently persuade his younger brother to be well-behaved and not always run away alone, but later found that Jiang Zechen promised well every time, but refused to change after repeated admonitions. In the end, he even wanted to catch him ruthlessly He wanted to be beaten up, but unfortunately, due to various reasons, he couldn't do it anyway.

Jiang Zehan's "indulgence" undoubtedly fueled Jiang Zechen's arrogance. Anyway, every time he was caught and reprimanded by his brother, he could pass the test smoothly as long as he acted coquettishly to please him. In addition, after running for a few days, he became more familiar with the nearby mountains and forests, and gradually began to grow up. Boldly drill deeper.

Before dinner, Jiang Zehan, who couldn't find his brother again, waited for Jiang Zechen to come back with a stern face at the gate, vowing for the hundred and first time in his heart that he must teach him a good lesson this time, so that he will have a long memory. Thinking of waiting for a long time, I saw Jiang Zechen coming out of the distant forest in a very embarrassing manner.There was a gash on his cheek, his clothes were dirty, his knees, elbows and elbows were black and bruised, and there were faint traces of blood. Jiang Zehan was taken aback when he saw it, and felt a sharp pain in his heart.But there was a happy smile on Jiang Zechen's face, and he jumped up and down towards Jiang Zehan, his carefree and heartless appearance made Jiang Zehan breathe out or swallow in his chest.

Glaring at Jiang Zechen fiercely, he bent down and picked him up. Jiang Zehan's expression was somber, without saying a word, he carried his younger brother directly to their room.Jiang Zechen didn't respond at all, he didn't seem to expect that he would be in trouble, he was still holding on to Jiang Zehan's clothes with a smile, and he was in the mood to ask the people hired in the villa to bring the dinner to their house, and the things that had just been sent, together take it.

The maid in her 30s couldn't help smiling and nodding. It seemed that she had gotten along with Jiang Zechen a long time ago. The mysterious appearance of the two made Jiang Zehan frowned and was a little suspicious, "What did you send? What are you doing?" What the hell?"

"Hey, bro, you'll find out in a while, now keep it secret! Keep it secret!" Jiang Zechen scratched his hair, no matter how much Jiang Zehan pressed him, he refused to open his mouth. Jiang Zehan had no choice but to take him into the room to treat the wound first. As for that " Secret"—anyway, I'll find out in a while.

As soon as he got back to the house, Jiang Zehan put Jiang Zechen on the bed and went to find the home medical kit by himself, but Jiang Zechen was dishonest, jumped off the bed and found a transparent glass jar, and carefully grasped the self-made medicine he had been holding in his hand. The bug net opens a gap.

Inside the insect net is a swallowtail butterfly with beautiful patterns on its wings, which are about the size of a palm when spread out.As the only butterfly that he had come to fancy after running on the mountain for so long, Jiang Zechen was naturally extremely cautious, lest if he was not careful, his hard work would be in vain.

Seeing that his younger brother was so serious, Jiang Zehan didn't dare to disturb him while holding the medical box. He didn't take the glass jar away from his hand until he successfully moved the butterfly into the glass jar and screwed on the lid, and put it aside.

Seeing the butterflies in the glass jar colliding with the glass wall, finally he didn't know whether he was exhausted or he gave up because he couldn't get out. He stopped at the bottom and stopped moving. Jiang Zechen finally looked away satisfied, and obediently let My brother treats the wound.Wipe the wound clean with a wet towel, apply iodine, cover the large wound with gauze and fix it with adhesive tape, put a band-aid on the small wound on the face, and finally put on clean clothes. After everything is done, Jiang Zehan puts the medical kit Putting it aside, stood up, stared at Jiang Zechen with his chest folded, and was about to speak to educate him, but before he could speak, there was a knock on the door of the room.

As an educated person, no matter what happens at this moment, he needs to deal with the person knocking on the door first. Jiang Zehan gave Jiang Zechen a "you wait" look, then turned around and opened the door, and saw the maid from before Dinner was brought, and there was a square box under the dining table.

"Aunt Zhang, thank you!" Following Jiang Zehan to the door, Jiang Zechen immediately burst into laughter when he saw the maid, ran over affectionately to help push the car into the house, and then grabbed the girl who was looking at them suspiciously. Jiang Zehan pushed the door out.

"What are you doing?!" Jiang Zehan was surprised, his younger brother didn't look like he was angry and awkward?Jiang Zehan, who was pushed out of the door by Jiang Zechen, was confused and confused.

"Brother, wait outside for a while, and come in when I let you in later!" Jiang Zechen didn't have the heart to comfort his brother, and then closed the door after he finished speaking briefly.Although it was not the first time that he was shut out by his younger brother—this kind of experience was common when Jiang Zechen liked to lose his temper a year ago—Jiang Zehan had never been shut out in such a situation.

Jiang Zehan couldn't figure out what the hell his younger brother was doing. Jiang Zehan's anger was replaced by doubts, and he waited patiently against the wall, with various thoughts in his mind, but in the end he still couldn't figure it out. through.

Although the watch on his wrist showed that only ten minutes had passed, Jiang Zehan felt that he had waited for more than half an hour—or was it an hour? ——The door of the room was finally opened again.The maid who delivered the dinner came out, smiled and nodded at him, and left. Jiang Zehan took a deep breath, pushed open the half-open door, and walked into the room.

The original bright chandelier was turned off, and only the soft-toned wall lamp was turned on. The room was slightly dark, and the more than 20 bright candles were particularly eye-catching.Jiang Zehan was stunned for a moment. He didn't know what kind of drama this was. Today is not his birthday, nor is it Jiang Zechen's birthday. The configuration of the birthday cake and candles...what the hell is going on?

Walking over in a daze, looking down to see the words "Han & Chen, happy birthday" tightly written on the not-so-big cake, Jiang Zehan seemed to realize something, and looked sideways at the person who was looking forward to him. Jiang Zechen didn't know what to say for a while.

——This dead child, unexpectedly... What kind of surprise attack...

Jiang Zechen's eyes were black and big, and the small candlelight reflected in his eyes, like a night sky full of stars, and his fair cheeks were flushed. I don't know if it's because of embarrassment or shyness, or because of the candlelight. Yes, the whole person is very cute, but the band-aid looks a bit obtrusive, which makes Jiang Zehan wish to erase the wound at once.

"Well, brother, are you really surprised?" Jiang Zechen was a little embarrassed to see it so seriously, but he almost forgot what he had planned. Jiang Zechen scratched his hair and coughed lightly.

"Extremely unexpected." Jiang Zehan hooked the corners of his mouth, "What's going on? Although I roughly guessed what you were going to do...but today doesn't seem to be someone's birthday, right?"

"Actually, I think that birthdays can be whatever you want. We are all in August, you are in the middle of August and I am in late August. It is not interesting to have two birthdays in a row. Let's just fold the days together. It’s much more fun, isn’t it?” Jiang Zechen blinked his eyes, with a playful smile on his face, “Cough, of course, this is one aspect, isn’t it another aspect... I don’t have enough money, I’ll buy it for you After buying that T-shirt, I only had enough money to buy such a big cake, and I wanted to buy it for my brother, and I wanted to buy it for myself, so in the end...well, I made a compromise... "

Jiang Zehan opened his mouth, really didn't know whether to cry or laugh, his younger brother's whimsy made him seem completely unable to keep up.

Jiang Zehan forgot that he hadn't celebrated his birthday for many years. Jiang's father was a man, rather careless. He focused all his attention on making money and business, and basically didn't pay attention to such details, and he himself was born as a poor child. I came out to live a life when I was very young, and I probably didn’t have any concept of birthdays, so I couldn’t imagine how eager my children would be to eat cakes and receive gifts with their families when they saw their peers celebrate their birthdays.

Jiang Zehan is not close to Jiang's father, it can be said that they are deliberately alienated.With Jiang Zehan's character, no matter how much he desires, he will not take the initiative to say it, he would rather bury it in the bottom of his heart, suppress it, and pretend that he doesn't care at all, and he doesn't want to bow his head to his "father". Pray for his attention and pity.

His biological mother died before Jiang Zehan's sixth birthday. He thought that the birthday when he was five years old was the last birthday in his life. Unexpectedly, after his 13th birthday, he actually got it from his younger brother. Long overdue birthday cake.

——Well, it’s not that it’s long overdue, but that little brat deliberately “compromised” it…

"That...brother...?" Seeing Jiang Zehan staring blankly at the cake without speaking, Jiang Zechen felt a little uneasy, rubbed his hands together and let out a low voice, regretting that he was a little anxious about his pace.

Jiang Zechen hopes to restore his brotherly relationship with Jiang Zehan, but he also knows that this kind of restoration must be done step by step. Although the progress between them is quite good at present, it may be better for Jiang Zehan to move their birthdays together. unacceptable.

Jiang Zechen was so depressed that he died. In fact, he didn't want to celebrate his birthday with Jiang Zehan, but...it was the day of Jiang Zehan's real birthday. He, he...he forgot! ! !

Not only did Jiang Zehan never have a birthday since he was a child, but even Jiang Zechen was basically treated like this. Although he was noisy and dissatisfied when he was a child, he gradually got used to it. , Maybe he still can't remember this.

Thinking of his own birthday, Jiang Zechen naturally also thought of Jiang Zehan's birthday. Thinking about it, he remembered that one day Jiang Zehan felt depressed for no reason. Jiang Zechen finally realized that he missed his brother's birthday...

Although birthdays are not very important to grown-ups, they should be very important to children—at least Jiang Zechen felt that when he was a child, he really hoped that someone would remember his birthday and celebrate it for him—to repair the relationship, It is necessary to start from the details. How can such an important part of celebrating the birthday be ignored? !

After thinking about it, Jiang Zechen decided to use his current seven-year-old age as a magic weapon, and made a plan for two brothers to celebrate their birthday together. First, he could at least make up for his mistakes, and second, he could also test Jiang Zehan's attitude towards him. .

——However, now it seems that... not very successful?

"Then what, brother... If you don't like it, can I live alone for you next year? This year I just... want to try this feeling, and... I really don't have enough money..."

Hearing his younger brother trying to please him in a low voice, Jiang Zehan came back to his senses. He didn't like him so cautiously for fear of offending him. Jiang Zehan held his head and pressed down hard, and then put He took it into his arms.

"Who said I don't like it? I like this kind of arrangement very much. Birthdays...it's interesting for two people to celebrate, isn't it? In the future, we will celebrate our birthdays like this, next year, the year after... it will always be like this, okay?" The bright candle flames danced, a little dazzling, making Jiang Zehan feel a little blurred in front of his eyes. His voice was very soft, but there was an indescribable persistence. Jiang Zechen was held in his arms, and he tried to look up at his brother's eyes. Looking at the facial expression, I found that his smile was also very shallow, and there was almost no trace of the shallow ground, but even with such a serious appearance, Jiang Zechen felt that it was more likable and reassuring than his smile.

"Hmm!" With a heavy reply, Jiang Zechen's heart jumped for joy. He knew that Jiang Zehan was not just perfunctory him at this moment, but really accepted his proposal.

It is best to get a response for your dedication. Jiang Zechen is glad that his brother is not as "stubborn" as he used to be, otherwise he doesn't know how long he can persist in trying to please Jiang Zehan with his patience.Jiang Zechen is not a person who likes to deliberately please others. It is basically his limit to do this. Looking back on his previous life, no matter how Jiang Zehan took care of him, he has always been stubborn, and even worsened. Jiang Zechen really doesn't know Jiang Zehan How did you persevere.

——If it was him, he would have kicked the opponent as far as possible, out of sight and out of mind.

With the response, Jiang Zechen's courage immediately became fatter, and he smiled and pushed the glass jar containing the butterflies to Jiang Zehan, offering treasures, "Brother, brother, this is my birthday present for you, happy birthday!"

Jiang Zehan glanced at the glass jar, resisting the desire to kiss his younger brother, raised his eyebrows with a half-smile, "You want to send me away after catching a butterfly?"

Knowing that Jiang Zehan was joking, Jiang Zechen was not afraid at all, "Then what, didn't you say that... the god horse... the courtesy is light and the affection is heavy! For this butterfly, your brother and I have to go through mountains and mountains and be honored and injured. The heart is definitely full of ten And...well, I'm out of money...Brother, please forgive me...Actually, this butterfly is very beautiful. I will make a specimen for you when it is suffocated. It is absolutely beautiful! It is better than the ones sold in the store. !As for the specimen frame and the like...Brother, you can buy it yourself...I will give you an even better present on your next birthday!"

Seeing that his younger brother said the same thing, he thought it was due to acting and memorizing the lines. Jiang Zehan didn't think much about it, but thought it was very interesting for him to imitate the appearance of adults talking, so he finally couldn't hold back and laughed, and rubbed him hard His hair, "Okay, I'll wait for you to mend it for me next time! It's okay for me to buy the specimen frame myself, but will you make specimens?"

"Yes! That's absolutely necessary!" Jiang Zechen puffed out his chest and patted it on. "I've learned all the nature lessons in elementary school! And haven't you ever eaten pork or seen a pig running? I can definitely make it for you!"

"Then I'll just wait and see? Don't wait for the butterfly to be suffocated to death... How... cough, how slow..." Jiang Zehan smiled, thinking that his younger brother who could say this was indeed a layman, "I'll wait a while Ask the uncles if they have any ammonia and ether, poisoning them will do, and the preservation will be more complete... As for Xiaochen’s gift, brother is really not prepared right now, so I’ll give it to you when I get home, okay?"

"Cough..." Jiang Zechen's eyes drifted a little, and he felt that he really couldn't talk nonsense, and the frequency of making jokes was too high, "Isn't it my birthday yet? Brother, the deadline for you to prepare gifts is my birthday. Just give it to me before my birthday!" ——Since Jiang Zehan accepted the gift, Jiang Zechen would naturally not be polite.

"Then, what does Xiaochen want?"

"I won't talk about it! Brother, you have to think about the gift yourself before you are sincere! Otherwise, what's the point of giving this gift? At least brother, you didn't expect that I would give you a half-finished butterfly specimen..."

"...I really didn't expect..." Jiang Zehan was convinced for the first time that he lost to his brother...the thick-skinned, and nodded helplessly, "Then... I will choose it by myself? If Xiaochen doesn't like it, I will I'll change it for you."

"Keep changing until I like it?" Jiang Zechen's eyes lit up, and the lion opened his mouth wide.

"...OK!" Jiang Zehan gritted his teeth.

Although he felt that he was severely blackmailed by his younger brother in the end, Jiang Zehan had a very happy night. He was so happy that he might never forget this birthday in his life.

——Having a younger brother is actually pretty good...
