Orange storm

Jiang Zhijin was awakened by the pressure.

Before he woke up, he felt a numbness in his left arm, as if he was being pressed down, and it was difficult to move it.Turning his head and looking over, Fang Jie was in a deep sleep, with half of his body on his shoulders.

Jiang Zhijin immediately stopped moving, and took a look at the phone with his right hand. It was exactly four o'clock in the afternoon.

He put down his phone, the sun began to set, and the mountains darkened.Jiang Zhijin looked at the distant scenery for a while to wake himself up, and then turned to look at Fang Jie.

Because Fang Jie buried his head on his shoulders, from this angle he could only see half of Fang Jie's face.The eyes are closed, and the eyelashes are very thick, covering a small piece of skin under the eyes.His brows were slightly furrowed, and he felt as if he had suffered a lot and had a deep hatred throughout his sleep. He didn't know what he was worrying about.

But Fang Jie has a lot to worry about, such as grades, college entrance examination, parents, and... himself.

Thinking of this, Jiang Zhijin's originally relaxed mood sank a little.

One night before, Fang Jie asked him about his ex-boyfriend, and Jiang Zhijin said something, although it was very rough.He didn't say that the other party was not much older than Fang Jie at that time, less than 19 years old.At that time, Jiang Zhijin was also older than the other party, just over 21 years old.

When falling in love, it seems that everyone can maintain a posture of "the mountains have no edges, the heavens and the earth are in harmony, but dare to be with the king", and the difference in status and age is not a problem.Less than half a year after Jiang Zhijin retired from injury, the other party hesitated for a long time, and finally broke up.

At that time, Jiang Zhijin was working in Yunqi, and he was so tired every day that he felt that he was about to die suddenly. The incident of being broken up seemed to make no waves in his heart, and he immediately deleted the contact information of the other party after he agreed.

It's hard to say who is right and who is wrong in this kind of thing. One is injured and discharged from the army at the age of 23, and the other is preparing to enter the military academy. The gap is visible to the naked eye and will increase with time.

If the previous gap is already a river, then there should be a trench between a 28-year-old small boss who runs a bar and an 18-year-old senior high school student, the bottomless kind.

But what Jiang Zhijin didn't expect was that Fang Jie's feelings were very serious.

He has thought about it many times, and has also told Fang Jie frankly that his sexual orientation and liking may be just an illusion caused by hormones.But every time Fang Jie's answer is affirmative.

No, liking is liking, my liking is also liking, it is no different from other times.

This kind of feeling is too warm, Jiang Zhijin has not met him for a long time.Seriousness does not mean long-term in many cases, not to mention that the situation between two people is complicated and there are too many variables.But it is undeniable that Jiang Zhijin was moved by Fang Jie's seriousness.

It's like meeting a blazing fire when it's freezing cold, and you want to get close to it for warmth, but you're afraid of being burned by it, and you're even more afraid of extinguishing such a bright fire yourself—that would be really sinful...

Jiang Zhijin sighed.

After about 10 minutes, Jiang Zhijin felt that the time was almost up, and his arm would be broken if he didn't move.He moved his hand slightly, and called out "Fang Jie" in a low voice.

"Wake up."

Probably due to the habit formed in school, Fang Jie woke up very quickly.Eyes opened in a few seconds.

He first came back to his senses and reflected where he was.When he found himself leaning on Jiang Zhijin's shoulder, Fang Jie jumped up immediately, like a spring, startling Jiang Zhijin.

Jiang Zhijin withdrew his hand and shook it, then squeezed his shoulder, and asked, "What's your reaction?"

Fang Jie stared at Jiang Zhijin for a while, then cleared his throat and said, "I didn't mean to."

"I was still in my position when I was sleeping, really, maybe I was too deep asleep and didn't pay attention—"

"I didn't say you did it on purpose." Jiang Zhijin laughed.

"...I'm afraid you'll think I did it on purpose, and say you're going to beat me." Fang Jie glanced at him, a little helpless. "It's a conditioned reflex."

Jiang Zhijin stood up while laughing: "Okay, let's go."

The hotel where the wedding was held is on the top of the mountain. It is a garden hotel with a beautiful view.It was exactly five o'clock when the two arrived.When Jiang Zhijin entered, he met several people who greeted him. When introducing Fang Jie to others, they all said, "My younger brother is in the third year of high school." Then he smiled and dragged the topic to other places. Playing games in the living room.

Fang Jie admired Jiang Zhijin for this.

No matter how lazy or unwilling to communicate in private, Jiang Zhijin can skillfully use adult social methods in public.

The wedding ceremony has just begun, and the wedding arrangement is beautiful, filled with bouquets of white and pink roses.The bride is led by her father to the groom, and the guests watch the ceremony from the audience.

Jiang Zhijin and Fang Jie came late and stood behind.Fang Jie didn't know anyone, but Jiang Zhijin took it seriously, and even boasted, "The bride is very beautiful."

Fang Jie glanced at him, but said nothing.

When the ceremony was over and it was time for the bride to throw the bouquet, there was a lot of excitement underneath.The two stood quite behind, probably thinking that they couldn't throw it to him, so Jiang Zhijin turned around and handed Fang Jie a wedding candy from the door.

"Lemon flavor."

Just as Fang Jie was about to reach for it, something flew towards his face. Amidst the exclamation of the crowd, Fang Jie subconsciously raised his hand and grabbed it in his hand.

It was a bouquet of champagne-colored roses half-wrapped in white gauze.

Before Fang Jie could react, there were already laughter, cheers and applause beside him.A person who had greeted Jiang Zhijin before said with a smile: "Jiang Zhijin's younger brother is just in his third year of high school, so he can't use it, why not throw it to Jiang Zhijin."

"Isn't the bouquet tossed to whoever gets it? It means that your luck is not as prosperous as your brother's, do you understand?"

There was another laugh all around.

When the ceremony is over, the banquet begins, and everyone goes to the dining room.Although the wedding is a Western style, the meal is still a Chinese table meal, and the dishes are quite rich.After dinner, it was already dark, and someone prepared fireworks, which were set off before it got dark.

The fireworks exploded in mid-air, big and big, gorgeous and gorgeous.Many people stood in the courtyard watching, most of them were next to the bride and groom, laughing and talking, taking pictures or recording videos.

The courtyard is huge, and Jiang Zhijin and Fang Jie stood where the wedding ceremony was just now.The things hadn't been packed just now, because of the obstruction of gauze balloons and the like, the view of the fireworks in this place was not very good, and there were only the two of them.Jiang Zhijin watched the fireworks for a while, then turned to look at Fang Jie.

Fang Jie was also looking up at the sky, felt Jiang Zhijin's gaze, and looked back at him again.

Probably because he didn't know where to put the bouquet he received, Fang Jie kept holding it in his hand.Jiang Zhijin glanced at it, and thought of the time when he received the bouquet just now, and joked: "It seems that the future will be very prosperous, Fang Xiaojie."

"What do you mean?" Fang Jie asked.

"Received the bridal bouquet, it means that you will be liked by others and fall in love, maybe you will get married soon - forget about this, you still have a few years left."

"I won't get married." Fang Jie replied immediately, with no expression on his face, looking serious.

"...You're really good, I'll just say it casually." Jiang Zhijin glanced at him, sighed, and smiled again.

"Then I wish you to be liked?"

"Who do you like?" Fang Jie continued to ask.

Jiang Zhijin didn't step on the thunder this time, and directly omitted the girl, and replied: "Boys like it."

Fang Jie heard it, smiled and looked up to watch the fireworks.After a while, he suddenly asked, "Are you a boy?"

"...you're quite courageous." Jiang Zhijin choked on Fang Jie, looked at him and said "tsk", "I'm a man."

The untidy ceremony scene fell into the night, and the pink and white gauze curtains and flower baskets of the wedding were scattered, soft and dreamy in the hazy night.The fireworks in mid-air rose one after another, illuminating half of the night sky, completely reflected in Fang Jie's eyes.

Fang Jie smiled for a while, then suddenly handed the bouquet to Jiang Zhijin.

"Forget it, I don't need to be liked by boys or girls."

He paused for a moment, then continued, "You don't need it either."

Jiang Zhijin was about to go to get the flowers, when he heard this sentence, he was taken aback for a while, and was inexplicably amused.

The revenge mentality is quite strong, as expected of Fang Xiaojie, a Scorpio.

"Why?" Jiang Zhijin asked.

"Someone already likes you enough." Fang Jie said.

"boom--"

A firework exploded, and the light in the courtyard was not good enough. The fireworks instantly illuminated the faces of the two people, and then quickly dimmed, but soon another one rose into the sky.

In the change of light and dark, Jiang Zhijin looked up at Fang Jie, was silent for a while, and suddenly smiled softly.

"Who?"

Anyway, it’s all said and done, and it’s okay to say another word. Not being brave is not not being brave, not being Fang Xiaojie...

In the interplay of light and shadow, Jiang Zhijin heard Fang Jie speak.

"Me." Fang Jie said.
