Peripheral vision flooding

The weather in the old city is always so erratic. One second it was still sunny and the sun was shining brightly, and the next second it was blowing with strong winds and showers.One after another, the raindrops fell to the eaves, soaking the entire old city.Wet the city, and also wet the people in the city.

The hall is full of people, all kinds of people, men, women, young and old, fat and thin, noisy, drunk, and rowdy.And the two protagonists of this feast are toasting wine at a certain wine table.

Jiang Zihan sat at a wine table in a corner, glanced at the noisy crowd around him, and moved his eyes away in disgust, the noise was so loud that his mind was dizzy and swollen, he lowered his eyes and got up and walked towards the bathroom.

When I came out to wash my hands, I heard something vaguely through the sound of water.

"Hey, Lin Yue is really... so lucky..."

"No... If not..."

"……Ugh……"

"but……"

……

He raised his hand to turn off the faucet. The water was a little cold, and it slid down his fingertips, and he took out a tissue to wipe it off.There is no blocking of the sound of water, only the sound of a wall can be heard very clearly.

"That is to say, Jiang Yuming had sex with Lin Yue when his wife was pregnant?"

"Yes! That's right, the two children are only two months apart!"

"This Lin Yue is really a villain."

"That's right, it's just this little young master Jiang, hey, it's a pitiful sight. This mother just passed away for less than half a year, and this father brought back his stepmother again, and got him a younger brother by the way..."

"Who said it wasn't..."

……

He didn't listen to the rest of the words, and returned to the wine table, obviously very hungry, and his stomach was very empty, but he couldn't eat any more, so he moved his chopsticks casually, and from the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of someone lighting a cigarette, and the smoke Diffuse in the peripheral part of that face, indistinct.

Jiang Zihan frowned unhappily, put down his chopsticks, and left the hall for the second time, walking aimlessly.

The balcony is a good place, where you can always meet all kinds of chance encounters, people who are destined or not.

The wind blowing there will redeem your sleepy mind, wake up your sleeping memory, and wake up your closed thinking for a moment.

The balcony that Jiang Zihan chose was relatively remote, and few people would choose such a remote place for ventilation, except for him—after all, he was sick.He held a pack of cigarettes in his hand, which had not been opened yet, and had just been dropped in from Jiang Yuming.

Pull out the root and pinch it in your hand, from your left hand to your right hand, and you can't see him lighting it—he doesn't know how to smoke.As a three-good student, he has not tried this thing yet, but at this moment, he is a little eager to try it.

But he forgot to bring the lighter, and he put away the cigarette with some pity, crossed his hands, and put it on the protective railing.

He raised his head and took a big breath of air, then slowly exhaled it, then lay down on the protective railing, looking at the dark world with dark clouds and dark sun, without saying a word.

He didn't want to blow a cool breeze all night, he would be frozen to death, who would like to suffer.He wrapped his clothes tightly and hesitated again and again, but he still ruthlessly threw the pack of cigarettes into the trash can.

There is no use keeping things that are useless, and they are cleaner after throwing them away.

He took out his mobile phone, bowed his head and sent Jiang Yuming a message, which basically meant that he was tired from playing, so he went home first.

I didn't wait for Jiang Yuming's reply, that's right, Ren'er is getting married today, so I can't take care of him anymore.

Jiang Zihan simply didn't care, he put away his phone indifferently, left the hotel, and took a taxi home.

------

The message sounded. Jiang Yuming was drinking and had no time to look at his cell phone. He was only focused on drinking. Looking at Lin Yue who had been looking forward to him for 20 years, he couldn't help feeling relieved.

After being overjoyed, under the influence of alcohol, he suddenly developed feelings similar to guilt. Lin Yue helped him to sit down beside him, and helped him caress his back.

He buried his face in her hands, and said in a hoarse voice: "I... I seem to be... a little, I'm sorry for her..."

Lin Yue just supported his back again and again, without speaking.

Lin Ziqiu handed them the coat, and then sat on the chair without saying a word.

Jiang Yuming and Lin Xing were originally husband and wife, and they had a son, Jiang Zihan. When Jiang Xianghan was still in his mother's womb, only two months later, Jiang Yuming "accidentally" had Lin Ziqiu with Lin Xing's biological sister, Lin Yue.After that, Jiang Yuming fell in love with Lin Yue out of control.Lin Xing, Lin Yue, Jiang Zihan, Lin Ziqiu, they are all clear about this matter, so there is no need to say more.

It's just that no one has ever opened up about it on the surface. Jiang Yuming looked at both ends, always a little unsatisfactory.

Half a year ago, Lin Xing passed away due to illness.Jiang Yuming planned to marry Lin Yue.

Outsiders only knew that Jiang Yuming was married second and married a mistress. As for the identity of mistress and mistress' son, they didn't know and didn't care.

The wedding banquet ended late, and it was almost twelve o'clock when the three of them returned to Jiang's house.At this time, Jiang Zihan had already fallen asleep - he slept for a whole afternoon.

"Xiaoqiu, you live in the second room on the second floor. The first room is Xiao Han's room. Your mother and I are downstairs, next to Wu Ma's room. If you have anything to do, you can find Wu Ma or me Two, you can also find your brother." Jiang Yuming pointed to each room.

Lin Ziqiu nodded, and when he heard the last sentence, he was startled, but he didn't say anything.

To him, it's just a place to eat and sleep, it doesn't matter to him who is around.

"It's getting late, go to bed." Lin Yue patted his shoulder and whispered.

Lin Ziqiu nodded again, and raised his legs to go up to the second floor.

"Ziqiu doesn't like to talk very much. He has been like this since he was a child. I am also busy with work and can't take care of him. He is very sensible and never causes any trouble. I always feel sorry for him..." Lin Yue frowned, speaking Some guilt could be heard.

Jiang Yuming stretched out his hand to stroke her brows, and smoothed the top of her hair: "It will be fine in the future, everything will be fine." After a pause, he said, "Xiaohan is also like this. He was not home, I was busy at both ends, and I neglected him, but I also developed a habit of being quiet and not fond of talking, eh..."

Lin Yue helped him back to the room: "I hope they can get along well, we...we don't have much qualifications to take care of their affairs, forget it, young people want to go, we middle-aged people, Just think about yourself."

Jiang Yuming smiled: "Well, don't worry about it, just care about yourself."

------

Lin Ziqiu went upstairs, Jiang Zihan's room was on the left, and his own was on the right.

The person in there who is sleeping soundly now is his brother.He thought, in the future, he will not see people who look up and see people who look down, and he doesn't know whether it will be easy to get along with him or not.He lowered his eyes and took a step to the right. Just after taking a step, the door opened.

Jiang Zihan woke up when he heard movement downstairs, the sound insulation was good, but he was a light sleeper.He didn't get up until his ears were quiet again, and walked out in his pajamas. He didn't know why he went out, he just wanted to go out and have a look.

Just when he opened the door, he saw the young man standing at the top of the stairs.

Um?It's pretty nice, he thought.Lin Ziqiu is very good-looking, there is no need to question this point, in fact Jiang Zihan is also good-looking, different good-looking are not the same, there is no comparison.

Looking at each other speechlessly, the two of them kept the same movements they did just now, and the atmosphere couldn't be called awkward, but it couldn't be called harmonious, but rather weird and weird.Finally, a question of thunder broke the general atmosphere.

"boom--"

Accompanied by the torrential downpour, it beat relentlessly on the floor-to-ceiling windows.

Jiang Zihan raised his eyebrows, he saw his little brother, as if... trembling?When I wanted to take a closer look, I saw that people had already recovered.

Afraid of thunder?

Lin Ziqiu squeezed his palms, the panic in his eyes was well concealed.He lowered his head, nodded slightly towards Jiang Zihan, and walked into the room on the right.

Jiang Zihan saw that someone had entered the room, so he didn't say anything, just walked downstairs, warmed a cup of milk, hesitated for a moment, shook his head with a smile, made another cup, and brought it upstairs.

He didn't know what was wrong, but wanted to see how his younger brother was doing, so he stood at the door with milk.

Holding two glasses of milk in one hand and knocking on the door with the other.No one responded for a long time.I can't help but feel a little worried, did something happen or did I fall asleep?Without thinking too much, I reached out and twisted the doorknob, and opened it...

------

Lin Ziqiu was not afraid of thunder, but he was not afraid of anything when he was young.But... that was one evening, he was alone in the classroom, and all the classmates around him had left. Lin Yue never picked him up, saying that he didn't have time, and he used to go home by himself.

But it rained heavily that evening, he was only eight years old, he didn't bring an umbrella, and he was the only one left in the school. Hearing the thunder, he thought that his mother might come to pick him up, but he didn't.

And the sound of rain and thunder was getting louder and louder. He didn't know what to do. He wanted to go home, so he rushed in the direction of home regardless - it was already dark.The sound of rain and thunder seemed to be right next to his ears, reminding him all the time that he was just a poor little man, a poor man who was ignored by no one, a poor man who was wanted by no one...

After returning home, Lin Yue hadn't left work yet, so he changed his clothes by himself, and went to do his homework as if nothing had happened, without saying anything.

After that, he began to be afraid of thunder.

He rolled himself into a ball, shrunk in the gap between the bed and the wall, buried his head in his knees, wrapped his arms around his head, trembling.

It looks so weak and pitiful.Not even the sound of the door opening.

Jiang Zihan turned around, turned on the small table lamp, put the milk on the table, and saw Lin Ziqiu curled up on the ground.Yo, I'm really afraid of thunder!

Not knowing what to think, he hesitated again and again, but still closed the door and walked towards him.

He has never comforted anyone, even if he is a frightened little rabbit, he has never even seen it, and he doesn't know where to start.

Sighing, he raised his hand resignedly, wanting to rub his head.Hey, who told me to be soft-hearted.

As soon as he put his hand on it, Lin Ziqiu really looked like a frightened rabbit, raised his head suddenly, opened his hand, and looked at him in horror.

It wasn't until Jiang Zihan was able to see clearly through the dim desk lamp that he lowered his head again, and raised it again 2 minutes later.

Jiang Zihan remembered that when he raised his head for the first time, his eye sockets were a little red, but when he raised his head again for the second time, it was no longer red.

"Sorry." Lin Ziqiu stood up and apologized for his rudeness just now.

Jiang Zihan shrugged his shoulders, expressing that he didn't care, but the back of his hand was really painful.

Tsk, the little rabbit is really strong.

Since he was a child, he hadn't been beaten much before and he didn't fight back. Thinking about it, it was kind of funny for some reason.

Turning around and walking, unexpectedly——

"Wait, go down." Lin Ziqiu grabbed the hem of his clothes, he was half a head shorter than Jiang Zihan.

Jiang Zihan turned his head helplessly: "Why?"

Lin Ziqiu paused for a moment before saying: "You, you..." You didn't know why.But Jiang Zihan seemed to understand what he meant.

Can you not go, just for a moment...

Jiang Zihan sighed, eyes drooping, pressed his hand, turned and walked along the road just now.

Lin Ziqiu lowered his hands and lowered his eyes, feeling a little uncomfortable, not much, really only a little...

It's not as uncomfortable as when he left the kitten on the side of the road because he couldn't feed it when he was a child.

Anyway, that's it...

"Weigh it hot and drink it."

Lin Ziqiu raised his head, and what he entered was the steaming milk, he took it in a daze, took a sip in a daze, it was warm, not hot.

All of a sudden, that little bit of sadness flew away, as if it had grown a pair of wings, and even the fear seemed to dissipate a little.

How amazing, he thought.

Finish that glass of milk.Just as he was about to put the cup on the table, the muffled thunder sounded again.

"Squeak————"

It sounded like a tree in the yard being snapped, but it was unclear.

As for the empty glass in his hand, because the owner who held it shook his hand, it was successfully sacrificed gloriously, and the glass fragments shattered all over the floor.

Jiang Zihan couldn't help thinking, fortunately the sound insulation here is good, otherwise Jiang Yuming and the others would be woken up, and they would have to explain again, which would be very annoying.

Looking up at the young man who shrank back again because of fright, his heart softened suddenly, for no reason.

As if guilty, he put his hand on Lin Ziqiu's head again, this time because he knew who it was, he didn't do it again.

Like comforting a small animal, he rubbed his head along his head twice, and then withdrew his hand as if he felt something was wrong.

Jiang Zihan thought, the thunder probably won't stop for a while.After cursing himself secretly, he walked to Lin Ziqiu's side and squatted down against the wall.

He didn't speak, just quietly staring at the broken glass in a daze.

Big Gai was due to the weather and air pressure. Although he slept the whole afternoon, he was a little sleepy now. He leaned against the wall, next to the boy, and fell asleep just like that while listening to the sound of thunder and rain.

Lin Ziqiu felt something leaning on his shoulder, he thought, it might be Jiang Zihan.

Then I looked up, and sure enough, it was true.

Looking at Jiang Zihan's sleeping face, he suddenly felt that it was nothing more than a thunderstorm, and there was nothing to be afraid of. It was great to see Jiang Zihan's invincible appearance.

The rain in the old city used to be like this, and it never stopped in summer, and it never stopped.

The rainy night in summer wets the whole old city, ushering in the heat of the city.
