Drowning Reborn

Life, in fact, sometimes seems like a joke.When I was young, I looked forward to the stars and the moon, but I always couldn't get it. When I grew up, I got it, but I discarded it like a shoe.

When Jiang Zechen and Jiang Zehan were together in the kitchen, Jiang Zechen sighed with emotion in a low voice, and his brother immediately scratched his nose and asked him teasingly when he became a philosopher.

Jiang Zechen shrugged, snorted, and went out with a fruit plate, while Jiang Zehan took a step behind, shaking his head and smiling indulgently.

The New Year's Eve with the Jiangs and his wife was not as warm as imagined, but rather stiff as if something had been forced into it.The Jiang family brothers have long been used to the posture of snuggling up on the sofa and watching TV together, they are used to chatting nonsense, and they are also used to relaxing and light sleep when they have nothing to say.But at this moment, they had to be separated like a Cowherd and a Weaver Girl, sitting on two sofas, the younger one went to accompany Mrs. Jiang, and the older one was placed by Jiang's father.

The family sits on the sofa, but there is no atmosphere of chatting at all. They have lived in two places for many years. Even adults cannot completely hide the strangeness of each other when they see their own children, let alone children who do not feel close to their parents. up.Usually, once there is no topic to talk about on the phone, you can hang up the phone directly, but now sitting face to face, the atmosphere of not talking will obviously be more rigid, so the adults racked their brains to squeeze the topics, and the children had to Pull yourself together, as if you are facing a formidable enemy, as if you are facing a sudden test, for fear of saying a wrong sentence.In the end, after asking and asking, the only topic that can be talked about is learning.

Jiang's father and Jiang Zehan still have a little common language when talking, at least they are both interested in finance and business, and are familiar with the Jiang family's industry, while Jiang Zechen and Mrs. Jiang are far behind.Mrs. Jiang likes clothing, cosmetics, banquets, dances, and entertainment. Although Jiang Zechen once liked it, she has graduated a long time ago, and there is a difference in the vision of men and women.Therefore, he could not have a good communication with Mrs. Jiang on this issue, and he could only be asked over and over again about his studies, how many points he got in the test, what he likes to do, etc., which made Jiang Zechen very confused.

Jiang Zechen hoped that Mrs. Jiang would change the topic, but unexpectedly, the changed topic by accident made him even more difficult to deal with. When changing the channel, Mrs. Jiang noticed her son's short-lived on TV, and immediately exploded , and Jiang Zechen naturally followed suit.

Jiang Zechen has never told Mrs. Jiang that he has stepped into the entertainment industry, because he knows that Mrs. Jiang has always placed her hope on him to accept Jiang's father's career, so she will never agree, and Jiang Zehan's reason for keeping it secret is probably the same. .However, the two brothers have tacitly put together a confession, and Jiang’s father, who will definitely know about this matter—after all, Jiang Zehan used Jiang’s father’s connections to help Jiang Zechen find a role—expressed his intention to give Mrs. Jiang a "surprise". , wait for Jiang Zechen to come out and confess to her.Whether it was because he believed this excuse or because he had the same thoughts as the brothers, Jiang's father was also dragged into the water and became a member of the secrecy team.It's just that Mrs. Jiang has been living abroad, and her social circle is narrow. She doesn't know that her son has already deviated from the path she expected.

However, there is no impenetrable wall in the world. After all, paper cannot contain fire. As Jiang Zechen participates in more and more films and TV shows, there are more and more opportunities to show his face on TV, even if it is just some little-known roles , It is inevitable that Mrs. Jiang will catch her pigtails.

So, Madam Jiang, who found out that her son had been motivated to join the showbiz, went crazy—of course, she wouldn't be so stupid as to say in public that you want to inherit the Jiang family business, it's just that the shady background in the entertainment industry is not suitable for everyone like him. It is completely a gesture of the strict mother worrying about her son's earnest warning.

Jiang's father didn't say a word. In his opinion, it was no big deal. As long as they were in China, the children of the Jiang family would not be bullied no matter what they did or what they did. Mrs. Jiang was making a fuss out of a molehill.Jiang Zehan was naturally trying to speak for Jiang Zechen, but Madam Jiang took it for granted that she was the murderer who instigated her child to go astray, which made her even more angry.It's a pity that Jiang Zehan is escorted by Jiang's father, and as a stepmother, she has no right to get angry at Jiang Zehan in the Jiang family, so she can only spray it on Jiang Zechen again.

Jiang Zechen originally thought that his forbearance skills should have been tempered quite well, but he still couldn't bear the pressure from Mrs. Jiang. After staying silent for a long time, he suddenly broke out and yelled "You don't know me at all! This is my life and I have to decide for myself!", and then turned around and ran upstairs to escape.

Avoiding the strange Jiang father and the nagging Mrs. Jiang, Jiang Zechen rushed into his room, slammed the door, finally heaved a sigh of relief, leisurely went to bed, and decided to go to his family's New Year's Eve vigil , or a person more carefree and happy!

If it is an ordinary thirteen or fourteen-year-old child, with the mentality of hiding from his mother first, and then showing off after making a little achievement, he has been poured such a big basin of cold water head-on, making the family reunion only once in several years The vigil is full of smoke and smoke. It is estimated that the glass heart has been broken all over the place at this moment, and everyone wants to take revenge on the society.But the current Jiang Zechen doesn't care about this at all. He had expected it a long time ago and was mentally prepared, but he just felt a dull headache from being quarreled by Mrs. Jiang.

However, no matter how much Mrs. Jiang disagrees, Jiang Zechen will not be worried, because his behavior can be said to have been affirmed by the two actual power holders of the Jiang family. Even if Mrs. Jiang makes trouble again, nothing will happen , and finally can only accept fate.

——It would be good to let her accept her fate earlier, so as to save her from rebounding even more when Jiang's father died suddenly, and he was the one who suffered...

However, although Jiang Zechen didn't take it seriously in his heart, after all, this was the first serious quarrel between mother and child. To be on the safe side, Jiang Zechen had to make a sad appearance, at least he couldn't go upstairs angrily. Playing games in Happy Land...

Sitting on the bed for a while, Jiang Zechen, who was bored and didn't know what to do, finally decided to sleep, but not long after he got under the quilt, he heard someone gently open the door and walk in.

Even if he didn't look at it, Jiang Zechen knew that it was Jiang Zehan, and his familiarity with Jiang Zehan had almost become an instinct.

"Xiaochen, don't be sad..." Sitting sideways on the side of the bed, Jiang Zehan's soft voice sounded with deep worry, "I believe that mother will always understand you in the future..."

"...Brother, I'm fine. I don't care if she understands or not." Holding back his nasal voice, Jiang Zechen shrank his head under the quilt, said an angry line in his mouth, and then tactfully chased people away, " Brother, I'm sorry, I want to be alone for a while..."

Jiang Zechen played such a middle school boy who fell out with his family for his ideals and suffered a lot outside. He is completely a typical example of "don't listen to the old man's words and you will suffer in front of your eyes".

"Xiaochen, don't be like this. If you have something to say to your brother, can you? My brother doesn't want you to be alone in the room, thinking wildly. If you do this, my brother will be worried..." Lie down on your side, and turn your face to the corner of the wall Jiang Zechen hugged him together with the quilt, clinging to his chest, Jiang Zehan looked uneasy and blamed himself, "Xiaochen, the thing about being an actor..."

"I will persevere!" Interrupting Jiang Zehan, Jiang Zechen did not give him any time to doubt, and replied firmly, "Whether my mother agrees or not, I will be an actor! Brother...you will support me ,right?"

"Well, yes, brother will always support you. As long as Xiaochen wants to do something, brother will definitely help you..." Jiang Zehan rubbed Jiang Zechen's neck and nodded, "Xiaochen... as long as you do what you want. good."

After expressing his firm position to his elder brother, Jiang Zechen was finally relieved, raised his hand and squeezed his thigh, and his eyes immediately became moist.

Turning his head, Jiang Zehan reluctantly smiled with tears in his eyes, and generously gave out the good person card, "Thank you, brother, you are the best!"

It was dark at night, and there was no light in the room. The only source of light was the dim light from the window beside the bed. I don't know if it was the street lights or the stars and moon in the sky.The blurred light reflected on Jiang Zechen's face, half-bright and half-extinguished, ambiguous, only those big eyes with watery light seemed to be the most splendid scene in the whole world.

As if being tempted—no, probably indeed, Jiang Zehan leaned forward involuntarily, and touched those eyes lightly with his lips, only to touch the suddenly brushed eyelashes, which were still stained A few teardrops left a streak of water on Jiang Zehan's lips.

Jiang Zehan stuck out the tip of his tongue and licked it—it was salty.

While Jiang Zehan was bewitched, Jiang Zechen was also taken aback, twisting his body to avoid it, not knowing what his elder brother was up to.Subconsciously, he felt that the darkness was too unsafe. He didn't know Jiang Zehan's expression and movements. He couldn't judge and it was not conducive to responding. Jiang Zechen hurriedly turned on the bedside lamp. Suddenly, under the dim light, Jiang Zehan showed a slightly stunned expression. Nothing to hide.

"Brother...?" Jiang Zechen felt a little creepy all over, he had never seen Jiang Zehan's expression before, looking at Jiang Zehan's eyes seemed to be possessed by him, but fortunately Jiang Zehan came back to his senses soon after the lights turned on , reached out and rubbed the head of his stunned younger brother, and asked calmly, "What's wrong?"

Jiang Zechen immediately vomited or swallowed his breath, and wanted to vomit blood. It was obvious that the other party had a problem, but he was as nervous as himself by this calm and preemptive attack—could it really make him Ask "Brother, are you bewitched"? !

"Brother, don't always be like this, it's weird..." In the end, Jiang Zechen still covered up the matter half-complaining and half-coquettish, not wanting to touch Jiang Zehan's bad luck - after all, judging by Jiang Zehan's appearance, he really didn't want to go deep here Something to communicate——Over the years, Jiang Zechen's ability to observe his elder brother's words and demeanor has been unrivaled in the world, and he is superior to all others.

"Why, why is my Xiaochen so thin-skinned, is she even ashamed to get close to her brother?" Jiang Zehan laughed, raised his hand to turn off the light, settled Jiang Zechen to lie down again, and then sat up, "Okay, I just came up to take a look Are you overwhelmed? Anyway, the matter has already exploded, so just relax, don't think too much, just leave it to me from my mother. "

"Yes." Although Jiang Zechen complained that it should be handed over to Jiang's father, he didn't say much about his brother's unreliable behavior of asking for credit, but just nodded obediently.

"Go to sleep, everything will be over when you get up the next morning." After tidying up the quilt for Jiang Zechen, Jiang Zehan smiled and rubbed the forehead of his brother who was tightly wrapped up at home, with only one small ear exposed, "I Let’s go down first, and we still have to watch the night with Mom and Dad.”

Yawning, Jiang Zechen stretched out a hand from under the quilt, waved it, and said good night, secretly rejoicing that he escaped tonight's good night kiss.

The bed sunken by Jiang Zehan's weight became flat again. Hearing his footsteps, Jiang Zechen walked to the door and paused for a moment. Then, Jiang Zehan's voice sounded softly again, "In the future, if it's still just the two of us, alright……"

"Hmm..." Jiang Zechen responded, not knowing whether he was sincere or not.

——However, indeed, just the two of them are already entangled enough, it is better to have less people involved, so that life will be more comfortable...
