Grandpa is here!

At Qinghe Bridge, everyone left, only Jiang Baifan and Pei Min were left by the river.

The two looked at each other, and Jiang Baifan laughed for no reason.

"Your enemy is too cowardly."

"Yeah." Pei Min looked at the person who smiled and rolled his eyes, the corners of his lips curled slightly, and there was a little joy in his voice: "He has never defeated me alone, so it's gone." After helping, slip away fast."

"Really shameless."

"It's quite shameless." Pei Min nodded, then asked after a pause, "Who was that boy just now? Do you know him?"

"Yes, he is me..." Jiang Baifan hesitated for a while, looked at Pei Min and said slowly, "He is my grandson."

"Oh! So that's it." Pei Min nodded, with the same expression on his face.

Jiang Baifan breathed a sigh of relief, but Pei Min didn't feel surprised, and he didn't show the expression of refusal in the hospital anymore.

Of course Pei Min calmed down. He was careful when he was in the hospital, and later he checked carefully. In the eighteen generations of his family's ancestors, there was no one with the surname Jiang, not even anyone with the surname Jiang.

So he couldn't understand Jiang Baifan's temptations and hints at all.

The two walked while talking, and when they reached the school gate, Jiang Baifan took out his phone and glanced at the time.

"It's still early, we haven't had breakfast yet!"

"breakfast?"

"Yeah!" Jiang Baifan glanced sideways at Pei Min, his eyes were slightly squinted, and the corners of his eyes were slightly raised, making the original cold brows seem to be tinged with warmth, without that layer of repelling people thousands of miles away indifference.

"Hurry up, the rice roll shop should still be open, let me tell you that the rice rolls are really super delicious, I invite you to eat."

Pei Min shook his head lazily: "You go, I'm not hungry."

"It's not a question of whether you're hungry or not. You must eat breakfast. If you don't eat it, you will easily get stomach problems."

"I can not eat."

"To eat!"

"Don't eat."

"You really have a bad habit," Jiang Baifan wrinkled his pretty nose, and said in a very mature tone, "Look at your young people, they don't drink water when they're thirsty, and don't drink water in the morning. Eat breakfast, don’t wear long johns when it’s cold, when you get old, kidney stones, stomach pains, old cold legs and a lot of problems will come to you.”

Jiang Baifan asked here, following the topic: "By the way, are you wearing long johns?"

"Long johns?" Pei Min was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help laughing: "What's that?"

"You didn't wear it?" Jiang Baifan stared at him: "It's a bit cold now, you have to wear long johns."

"No."

"Wear it!"

"Never wear it to death."

The day passed so quickly that it was almost dark in a blink of an eye.

After autumn, the weather gradually became colder, and the students took out prohibited electrical appliances one after another, such as fast heating, small hot pots, small electric stoves, etc...

At eight o'clock in the evening, only the street lamps and the light from the windows of the male and female dormitory are left on the campus.

The street lights were dim, and the shadows of the trees were whirling. The students on campus walked slowly in groups of three or five with their clothes on.

The streetlight above the head seemed to be in bad contact, suddenly flickered, and then went completely dark, and the entire campus fell into darkness in an instant.

At this time, the moon had not risen, the sky was already as dark as a cloud of ink, and the campus without electricity was even more gloomy.

Many students began to complain: "Oh! Who used the overloaded prohibited electrical appliances?"

"Who knows? It's cold, someone must be cooking hot pot in the dormitory."

"Anyway, the dormitory manager will definitely come to investigate again tomorrow."

"Go back quickly and hide my hair dryer. I have already had three hair dryers confiscated."

……

The campus is dark, and the dormitory can hardly be seen.

Jiang Baifan, who came back with hot water and was about to open the door, felt his eyes go dark.

He paused for a moment, allowing his eyes to adjust to the sudden blackness, before he touched the doorknob, ready to push the door.

The next second, I heard a "click" from inside the door, the crisp sound of ceramics breaking.

Jiang Baifan was stunned for a moment, quickly opened the door, and asked subconsciously: "What's wrong? What broke?"

No one in the bedroom answered him.

"Where are you, Pei Min? Are you all right?"

Still no one answered him.

Feeling something was wrong, Jiang Baifan took out his mobile phone from his pocket and turned on the flashlight. The flashlight searched around the dormitory but found no one.

But just now, I clearly heard the sound of breaking glass.

Jiang Baifan took his mobile phone and scanned it carefully, and when he saw the desk in the corner, Jiang Baifan gave a sudden pause.

Seeing Pei Min hiding under the desk with his knees hugged, he wished he could curl himself up into a small ball, and rolled out a low growl uncontrollably, like a young animal that was wounded and on the verge of death.

And at his feet was the glass that had just been accidentally broken.

Jiang Baifan was taken aback, he didn't even have time to put the hot water bottle on, so he quickly walked over and patted him on the shoulder, asking, "What's wrong with you, Pei Min?"

Maybe because he heard a human voice, or maybe he saw a bright light, Pei Min slowly raised his head, his face was pale, and his pupils were full of fear.

After looking up and seeing Jiang Baifan, he grasped his wrist like a drowning man grabbing a life-saving straw.

"There's an earthquake, there's another earthquake!"

"It wasn't an earthquake." Jiang Baifan was at a loss, with doubts in his mind, but he still explained: "There was no earthquake, it was just a power outage."

He reached out and patted his shoulder soothingly, trying to withdraw his hand to put down the thermos bottle.

Pei Min, on the other hand, held onto his wrist firmly.

"Don't go."

His voice was hoarse, trembling uncontrollably.

Jiang Baifan felt that his whole body was shaking, and the fingers on his wrist were even colder, as if he had soaked in ice water in the cold winter.

After a pause, he simply stuffed the water bottle under the table, swept away the glass shards on the ground with his feet, squatted down, and held Pei Min's hand back.

"I'm not leaving, don't be afraid, I'm always here."

The night was extraordinarily long, Jiang Baifan didn't squint his eyes all night, he guarded Pei Min, but Pei Min was holding his hand, not daring to take his eyes off the light of the flashlight.

When it was almost dawn, Jiang Baifan couldn't help but fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up, the sky was completely bright, and golden sunlight came in through the gaps in the curtains.

Jiang Baifan was woken up by the ringing of his mobile phone. Pei Min's mobile phone kept ringing, but he was no longer in the dormitory.

Jiang Baifan rubbed his eyes and saw that the caller was from an unfamiliar number. He thought about it but didn't answer.

But after a while, this strange phone number called one after another.

Jiang Baifan frowned and thought for a while. It's not an important thing these days, and he would send WeChat messages. Would it be urgent if he called over and over again?

But Pei Min wasn't there, and he didn't know where to find him for a while.

The phone is still ringing.

Jiang Baifan hesitated again and again, but still picked it up.

"Hello! Hello!"

"Hi, hello, is this Mr. Pei Min?"

"Oh, no, I'm his...relative."

"Where's Mr. Pei?"

"He is out busy, what can I do for you?"

"I'm Carla, his psychiatrist. He hasn't come for treatment for three months. Please tell him he must come tomorrow."

"Treatment?" Jiang Baifan was taken aback, "Treatment for what?"

"Treatment for what?" Kara on the other end of the phone was also stunned for a moment, and then asked in confusion: "Didn't you just say that you are his relatives? Don't you know his problem?"

"Hug, sorry."

"You are his relatives, so you should know what happened to Pei Min in the earthquake in [-]?" Kara's voice was obviously displeased, but she still patiently explained the matter.

Pei Min experienced the great earthquake in [-]×, and he was one of the people who was buried underground.

At a young age, he was trapped alone in the collapsed home, and was rescued by search and rescue personnel 48 hours later...

After the earthquake, many people will have sequelae, the most typical being fear of the dark.

This is not timidity, but the indelible shadow left by this disaster that is lucky to live.

……

After Jiang Baifan answered the phone, it was as if a big stone fell on his heart, making him breathless.

No wonder Pei Min reflexively crawled under the table at the moment of the power outage, no wonder he was so afraid of the dark.

When the earthquake came, a twelve or thirteen-year-old child was buried under the soil alone, and his parents were not around. He had to face the fear of death alone, how desperate he must be.

48 hours, more than 800 minutes, in a small space where you can't see your fingers, it is probably longer than a century, and he didn't know how to survive when he was young.

After answering the phone, Jiang Baifan calmed down. He wiped his sore and astringent eyes, wiped his face with cold water, and left the dormitory again.

After turning around a few times, I found Pei Min in the North District.

Pei Min sat there quietly by herself, and didn't turn her head when she heard the footsteps behind her.

Jiang Baifan didn't speak, and stood beside him silently.

One of them was sitting there, the other was standing there, neither of them said anything first.

It took a long time for Jiang Baifan to carefully look at his side face, thinking about how to speak.

Pei Min spoke first: "Isn't it ridiculous?"

"It's not ridiculous." Jiang Baifan shook his head: "The human heart is full of flesh, and there will always be something to fear."

He walked over slowly and returned the phone to Pei Min, "Someone called you, but you weren't here, so... I answered it. I'm sorry that I took your phone without your permission."

Pei Min took the phone, checked the caller ID and saw the strange number, his hands froze immediately, "Did you call from Kara?"

"Yes."

"What did he say?"

"Everything has been said."

Pei Min was silent, and it took a long time before he said again: "They had a fight that day."

Jiang Baifan knew very well who they were, so he didn't ask much, but sat side by side with Pei Min on the stone steps, listening to him slowly revealing those old scars that had never been shown to others.

"After the quarrel, the two of them slammed the door and left, and then the sky began to shake. When I woke up, I couldn't see anything, I couldn't hear any sound, it was dark in front of me, and it was black everywhere... "

When Pei Min talked about this, his face was very calm, and he was a different person from last night, but Jiang Baifan knew how fragile and distressing this young man who is no different from ordinary people was last night.

Jiang Baifan shook his cold hand, and said softly: "Life is like a journey, coming and going are just passers-by, even your parents are the same. However, there will always be someone who will love you, and someone will accompany you through time and time again. A journey."

Pei Min's dark eyes revealed confusion: "Will there be?"

Jiang Baifan nodded heavily. As he said, he held his hand firmly: "Yes, at least for the next part of your journey, I will be by your side."

Until the little grandson is brought back to the village and handed over to Seventh Brother, he will always be with him.

After hearing this, Pei Min looked sideways at him. The sun came out, and the golden sunlight broke through the haze with unmatched aura and shone on the two people sitting side by side.

It also spilled into his eyes.

All the solid ice in the dark pupils melted and cracked cracks, and those cracks... are where the light comes in.

For the first time, he looked at the person beside him with different eyes.

Jiang Baifan is very good-looking, with a fair complexion, a tall nose bridge, and thin red lips. His hair is a little curly, thin and fluffy. The impulse to knead and knead together is the most in line with the aesthetic appearance of young people today.

She has a stubborn and flamboyant personality, like a kitten showing its teeth and claws, but most of the time, it is more like a warm little sun, melting the ice and darkness that have not melted for years.

But now, he wants him to be his own sun.Pei Min's gaze was fixed on Jiang Baifan's fair and handsome side face, and a scorching/hot light gradually flashed across his eyes.

If I remember correctly, this person likes him, right?It can be seen from the first contact that he seems to like himself very much.

Although I refused at the beginning, it sounds a little unreasonable for two men to be together and go against the world, but...

If it's the person in front of him...it doesn't seem impossible.

He wanted to try it.

Pei Min's ear tips were suddenly stained with a thin layer of red, and his Adam's apple rolled up and down. After thinking clearly, he smiled casually, and the confusion in his pupils instantly dissipated, leaving only a piece of clarity.

Holding Jiang Baifan's wrist, he stood up and said, "Let's go."

"Where?"

"Eat breakfast."

"You are finally willing to have breakfast." Jiang Baifan's eyes lit up, his efforts were not in vain, and he finally persuaded this stubborn guy to have breakfast.

His little grandson is actually quite obedient.

The corners of Jiang Baifan's lips can't wait to grin to the roots of his ears.He stood up, patted the ashes on his buttocks, and sat on the stone steps for a long time, feeling a little cold on his buttocks.

He thought for a while, and hit the rails while it was hot: "You compromised after breakfast, why don't you... let's go back and put on a pair of long johns?"

Pei Min: ...

Don't push yourself too far!

Jiang Baifan tried to empathize with it, and made it reasonable: "In fact, long johns are still worn. You see, we were sitting on the stone steps just now. I wore long johns and my butt/butt was still cold. Then you didn't wear long johns." Yes, the eggs/eggs must be cold."

Pei Min froze, and said with a dark face, "It...is still hot."
