Orange storm

Fang Chenglin was taking off his coat at the door, but when he saw Fang Jie, he stopped, took two steps into the living room, and smiled at Fang Jie.

"Xiaojie, haven't you rested so late?"

Fang Jie stared at Fang Chenglin for a while, but did not answer.Fang Chenglin smiled awkwardly, and continued: "I heard that you have returned home, so I will come back to see you...and your mother."

"Oh." Fang Jie said.

He really didn't know what to say to Fang Chenglin. If he had been, Fang Chenglin could be regarded as a good father. He was even gentler than Zhou Ling, and he was willing to communicate with Fang Jie.But now for Fang Jie, meeting Fang Chenglin made him feel a little complicated.

Irritability, distress, anger...and disappointment.

Fang Chenglin took a few steps upstairs, and when he was anxious that Fang Jie still had two or three stairs left, he stopped and asked warmly, "Still reviewing? I just came home from vacation. It's okay to rest for a few days."

"I have been back for three days." Fang Jie said.

Fang Chenglin was embarrassed for a few seconds, and immediately continued: "I should have come back earlier, but I've been too busy recently..."

After he finished speaking, he remembered something again, and explained as if proving his innocence: "I have been living in the school recently, and I have a few students' graduation thesis with me."

Fang Jie smiled lightly when he heard the words, and suddenly said: "The smell of disinfectant water."

The hospital's unique smell of disinfectant, even after a few steps, Fang Jie can still smell this pungent smell.He didn't want to say it.But Fang Chenglin's words just now, which he wanted to cover up, suddenly aroused his anger.

"It's all over your coat."

Fang Chenglin immediately panicked, and hurriedly explained: "I just stayed for an hour after get off work, and today he's in a bad condition—"

Fang Jie actually wanted to tell Fang Chenglin that he didn't need to tell himself this, whether he went to the hospital or how long he stayed, he didn't want to hear it at all.But Fang Chenglin seemed to really want to say a few words to Fang Jie. After saying that, he was silent for a few seconds, took a deep breath, and looked up at Fang Jie.

"Do you want to talk to Dad? About... them."

"I don't want to." Fang Jie said immediately, "It's too late, I don't want to quarrel with you."

"We don't quarrel, can't we have a peaceful chat?"

"Do you think it's possible?" Fang Jie looked at Fang Chenglin and asked.

Fang Chenglin was silent, and after a while, he said: "Go to bed early. Don't read when it's too late."

Fang Jie didn't speak, and turned back to the room.

Fang Chenglin didn't go upstairs. After a while, Fang Jie heard the sound of the door closing downstairs, so he must have rested in the guest room.

When Fang Chenglin's outside affairs first came out, the other party had already slept in the guest room, and he was not around for a long time. He had to go to school, go on a business trip, and go to the hospital to see his son...

Fang Jie threw himself on the bed and buried himself in the quilt.

The good mood when chatting with Jiang Zhijin just now disappeared at this moment.Fang Jie took out his phone and glanced at the screen. Jiang Zhijin hugged the cat, smiling a little, clean and comfortable under the sun.

Fang Jie watched it for five or six minutes, then put down his phone and closed his eyes.

I want to go back to Shaojiang and see Jiang Zhijin.

Thinking of this, Fang Jie laughed at himself again—I want to be a deserter again, Fang Jie.

He knew that this was impossible. Even if he fled to other places, he would continue to be affected by the family affairs. Fang Chenglin was still his father, and there was still a child waiting for a bone marrow transplant in the hospital. It was still possible for Di Wan to catch up with him. Shaojiang, guarding himself at the school gate.

Growing up and facing it is the way to solve the problem.

Just like Jiang Zhijin, he is never afraid of any problems or troubles, he is calm and a bit lazy, as if everything can be taken care of.The only time I didn't know what to do was probably when I found out that I liked him...

Fang Jie couldn't help laughing, then sighed again.

I miss Jiang Zhijin.

In the next few days, Fang Chenglin would come back for dinner.

The part-time workers usually leave after cooking and serving the table. At home, there is a somewhat large round table. Fang Jie, Fang Chenglin, and Zhou Ling sit together, and they don’t have to say a word after a meal.Zhou Ling and Fang Chenglin can't even make eye contact. Sometimes Fang Jie thinks that maybe he can see both of them at the same time. As for them, they should not be able to see each other.

Very suffocating.

So Fang Jie doesn't like to stay downstairs. He usually reads and revises in his room, and sometimes sends messages and makes phone calls with Jiang Zhijin.

In the middle of Fang Jie's review, someone knocked twice on the door from the outside, pushed the door open and walked in.

Fang Jie glanced back, Zhou Ling walked to the desk with a plate of strawberries.

"The strawberries in the supermarket are quite fresh, so I bought some." Zhou Ling put the fruit plate on the table. "How's your study going?"

"good."

"Go out and have fun when you have time, it's a combination of work and rest."

"Yeah." Fang Jie smiled, "Qi Xiang asked me to go out in the afternoon."

Although the No. [-] Middle School was also on holiday, Qi Xiang was still making up lessons, and he had to make up until the afternoon of New Year's Eve.Today just happened to catch up with the remedial teacher's family and had to be free for a whole day. Finally, he was able to take a breath and asked Fang Jie to go out early in the morning.

"Very good, let's go out and play." Zhou Ling patted Fang Jie on the shoulder, "I used to take you to visit grandpa and grandma's graves during the winter vacation, but this year it's too late. Can you wait until the college entrance examination is over?"

"Okay." Fang Jie said.

Zhou Ling didn't close the door when he came in, and there were subtle noises and voices from downstairs, and it was vaguely heard that it was Fang Chenglin and the hourly worker talking.Ask the other party not to put minced ginger when cooking, Fang Jie doesn't like it.

The room was quiet for a while, Zhou Ling said softly, "Are you tired of staying at home?"

"No." Fang Jie said.

"He said that he must come back to spend the New Year with you. After all, we spent the first 18 years together. This time you are still taking the college entrance examination—"

"I think since he said he wants to accompany you, let him come back. It's better than not knowing where he is."

"When do you plan to divorce?" Fang Jie asked.

Zhou Ling didn't expect him to ask such a straightforward question, and he answered after a while: "After you finish the college entrance examination, the lawyer suggested that I file a lawsuit with him."

At that time, it will be another tug of war, a mess.

Fang Jie nodded and said nothing.The phone next to her lit up and a message popped up.It was Qi Xiang who asked him if he could meet at the gymnasium at two o'clock in the afternoon.

As soon as the news jumped, the screen was also lit up, and the photo of Jiang Zhijin and Tangyuan appeared unexpectedly.

Fang Jie's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly reached for his phone.

The next second, he heard Zhou Ling say behind him: "Hey, is this Zhijin?"

Fang Jie's hand holding the phone paused, then slowly let go.

"Ah." As soon as he made a sound, he realized that his voice was a little hoarse, and he coughed before continuing: "It's him, and his cat."

Zhou Ling froze for a moment before smiling and said, "He's pretty handsome, and the cat is cute too."

She smiled again and asked, "Why is it still set as a wallpaper?"

Fang Jie felt his heart was about to jump out, but his face was calm.

"Set whatever you want."

"Really." Zhou Ling patted him with a smile, "Don't make trouble with your brother Zhijin."

"Understood." Fang Jie answered as calmly as possible, and his heartbeat slowly calmed down.When Zhou Ling went out, he let out a breath slowly, and finally relaxed a little, only to realize that he was sweating a little.

He replied to Qi Xiang's message first, and then clicked on Jiang Zhijin's chat box to send a message.

"I used your photo as a wallpaper, and my mother saw it."

Jiang Zhijin replied in seconds and asked, "What did your mother say?"

"I didn't say anything, I praised you for being handsome." Fang Jie said.

"Gone?"

"Gone."

After a while, Jiang Zhijin replied with a smile: "Fang Jie, are you a little silly?"

"A little bit." Fang Jie himself felt a little funny, "Isn't it because we can't see each other during the holidays, I just want to set it as a wallpaper——"

It's kind of silly.

"Change it." Jiang Zhijin said.

Fang Jie was stunned for a moment, and replied "OK."

Jiang Zhijin didn't say anything more, Fang Jie clicked on the landscape map that came with the phone, chose one at random, and prepared to change the wallpaper.

Jiang Zhijin said it quite simply, but he wasn't angry. After all, it's quite naive to take pictures of the object. Jiang Zhijin probably got nervous about what happened today, otherwise he wouldn't reply in seconds.

Before he could finish thinking, Jiang Zhijin over there sent another photo.

It's the back view of Jiang Zhijin and Tangyuan. The two are sitting on the balcony, against the light, and they can't see clearly. The sunset is outside, and there is a person and a cat inside. The silhouette is very beautiful.If he is not too familiar, Fang Jie would not be able to recognize it at a glance, let alone others.

"use this."

Before Fang Jie could say anything, Jiang Zhijin sent another voice: "Send a photo."

Fang Jie sent a "?", and Jiang Zhijin on the other end responded immediately.

"Set wallpaper."

"No." Fang Jie laughed, repeating what Jiang Zhijin said just now. "Aren't you a bit silly?"

"We are all in love like this." Jiang Zhijin said with a smile.
