Brother Christine

The scorching sun was in the sky, the cicadas were singing loudly, the air was dry and hot, and the sky was clear without a cloud.

When Shen Qing was carrying her schoolbag and dragging two big boxes into the station, she was not in a good mood either.

Under the two lush osmanthus trees at the station entrance of Pinglong Town, overripe flowers and leaves fell all over the ground, smelling fragrant, and seven or eight taxi drivers with bags and passengers squatted under the trees to enjoy the shade, chatting and sweating No smell either.

When Shen Qing passed by them, a hunchbacked driver with a dark face approached him with a cigarette in his mouth and asked him if he wanted to take a taxi.

Shen lightly shook his head.

The passer-by's demeanor looked gentle, he seemed to be easy to talk to, the driver didn't want to give up easily, followed behind him, and wanted to fight for a few more words, but Shen Qing didn't give him a chance, raised his hand to beckon him, beckoning him to go back, Then step into the station and go through the security check.

There were few people queuing at noon, after finishing the process, Shen Qing found a place near the air conditioner in the waiting hall to sit down and rest.

The peaked cap on his head was a little tight on the back of his head. Shen Qing pushed the box all the way from home. He sweated a lot on his head, but it didn't loosen. His body was also a little sticky and sweat-stained. He didn't loose his hat first, and habitually went to his trouser pocket to touch his phone and read WeChat messages.

——I'm leaving, going to school.

This is a message he posted in the family group of four just now.

Today is a working day, both his parents have to go to work, and his home is not too far from the station, Shen Qing went to the summer job place in the morning to get his wages, and then dragged the suitcase over by himself.

In fact, there are still two days before the official start of school, and he also made a temporary decision, but his parents have always known him, and they did not express any surprise.

His mother has been digging for a hundred years, and sent him a big red envelope of [-] million yuan with an emoji, and asked him to take care of his luggage, documents and wallet. This is the first time he has traveled so far. People rescued him, and he also had a little yellow face with a smile of death.

His dad was always a good guy, sent him a red envelope in the group, wished him a smooth start to school, told him to be careful on the road, and asked his brother to pick him up at the station.

And his brother—

Shen Qing stared at the family chat records of a certain person who had been pretending to be dead and never showed up, with an indifferent face, and a low curse was squeezed out between his teeth.

Turning off the phone without any expectations, Shen Qing took off his hat, grabbed two handfuls of wet hair, slumped on the seat with his head up, closed his eyes and recalled his incomparably fantastic months.

M University, M University... He is going to M University, a sentence that he thinks about every day and night.

He is not very good at studying. He is in an ordinary class of science, and his grades fluctuate. He usually takes the exam around 3. Occasionally, he is ready to work hard for [-] minutes on a whim. He can also go to a good school. My ears scolded him for being lazy and not up to date, saying that he was obviously a good material, but he just didn't want to suffer that hard work.

This was a problem, and he couldn't do anything about it. He didn't meet anything he wanted, and he couldn't afford that fate.

During the [-]-day sprint for the college entrance examination, he sat in the crowd of people doing papers and memorizing formulas all day long, so annoying that he didn't want to learn. He chattered, and the more they talked and reasoned with him, the more unhappy he became.

His brother was the number one player in their school's previous class to win glory for the school, but he couldn't look down on his bastard, so he called him and scolded him, and Shen Qing could feel the irascible Jiang Xiao's saliva sprayed on her face through the screen of the mobile phone , He scratched his hair back and forth, listening to each sentence without a word, actually feeling quite comfortable in his heart.

For no reason, he thought his brother scolded him in the best voice.

It's also possible that he can't help himself to care about him too much.

cheap.

Shen Qing scolded herself in her heart.

Jiang Xiao's voice was a tranquilizer, and after being scolded, he couldn't be impetuous anymore, because Jiang Xiao finally said that if he could get into his school in the college entrance examination, he would try to get Shen Qing to the dormitory where he was.

His brother was the number one scholar in the province back then, and Shen Qing knew that Jiang Xiao was just talking about it, because it was impossible for a person like him who was full of dissatisfaction and half of his bottle to be admitted to M University.

But Shen Qing has a very good character, which is persistence.

To cling to...something he wanted in particular.

One day is like two days, day and night are uninterrupted brushing questions, playing formulas and memorizing questions, even dreams are full of ion equations and electromagnetic field movements, and the scattered knowledge points that have been accumulated at the bottom of my mind for three years are here. The sky quickly assembled into a complete and clear frame, deeply engraved into every brain cell that was preparing to die for the college entrance examination.

No one expected that this god-defying piece of shit would be so caught off guard.

Shen Qing actually passed the exam.

Of course, he got in with the lowest score of M University, and he obeyed the adjustment, so he didn't get his brother's impressive score of 710 and three.

Everyone has their own destiny, he doesn't need to compete with the top card, but he has to let the top card speak for itself and fulfill its promise.

When the family called his brother to report his grades, it was at 02:30 in the night. The top card was stunned at first, and then cursed "Fuck".

At first, Shen Qing didn't understand the meaning of the "fuck me".

Willing, or not?

He knew that his brother sometimes annoyed him, and sometimes he annoyed Jiang Xiao too.

The two older men who reorganized the family are about the same age, and they don't agree with each other. Usually, their relationship is not particularly close. Except for family and study matters, they don't even talk much until they hear their relationship. Only after his brother thumped and fell off the bed, hissed and laughed while holding the phone up, did he know that his brother was happy.

Jiang Xiao slept on the upper bunk, and that night he was overjoyed and stepped on the ground, his butt fell into the air and directly landed on the hard floor, and he was hospitalized for a week before he could barely walk.

Jiang Xiao lay curled up covering his tailbone for a week, and Shen Qing held his stomach that ached from laughing and laughed for a week.

Being a dark horse in the college entrance examination and rushing into the top ten of the grade has never been so happy.

On the day of the class breakup meal, Shen Qing was in a good mood, went crazy with her classmates all day, and went to the bar with a few buddies at night to release the joy of adult drunkenness.

He did well in the college entrance examination, and people can't do it without thinking about it. Shen Qing knew that Jiang Xiao came home from the university holiday that day, and sang songs all night in KTV. At five o'clock in the morning, he fell drunk on the sofa and called the usual Those who didn't dare to take the initiative to hit him shouted that they had never called brother before, and asked someone to pick him up at the KTV in an arrogant tone.

I don't know if it was the first time he was yelled and instigated by him, but Jiang Xiao didn't refuse, called him an idiot on the phone, and then appeared at the door of the box on time 10 minutes later.

Jiang Xiao handled things neatly, locked onto the target in the middle of the crowd as soon as he entered the door, kicked away the people A, B, and C who were lying in the way in the room, frowned and stared at the drunk who fell on the sofa, and dragged His arm fell on his back, and he walked out with the person on his back.

Shen Qing's chest touched Jiang Xiao's arm, I don't know who bumped into it on purpose, or who deliberately rubbed the pestle against his heart, you hit me on the head, and I don't let you on the bottom of my foot, the two are very big The man, who was more naive than a three-year-old child when he made a fuss, turned from the private room through the colorful and noisy corridor with nine twists and eighteen bends, and fought all the way to the door, holding back his energy and tossing each other.

But they are not the kind of relationship that can be played around.

At least in the first ten years when Shen Qing was sober, they had never been so close.

At that time, Shen Qing felt very comfortable and happy.

If getting drunk once can eliminate the barrier between them, Shen Qing thinks that he should choose the time when he was eight years old, even if he gets beaten up by his mother, he should not be there.

Before stepping out the door, Shen Qing suddenly turned her face and smiled at his brother.

Jiang Xiao glanced at him sideways, his eyes darkened.

They were facing each other, the distance was unprecedentedly close, each other's breaths were intertwined, hot, alcohol-smelling, and extremely restrained and slowed down exhalation...

No one took a step back, and no one spoke.

Shen Qing didn't know how drunk he was at that time, he was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open, he just looked at his brother with squinting eyes, thinking that it was interesting for them two to do this.

What's more interesting is that he saw his brother's ears turning red a little bit.

No wonder others said that the contrast is cute and cute. He only knew that day that an old dog like Jiang Xiao who loves to pretend to be cool can turn out to blush.

Then Shen Qing made an extremely stupid action that I recall now!

He used the strength of alcohol to build up his courage, on the face of his brother, that bastard who turned his face at the slightest disagreement...

kissed.

He just touched the man's face lightly with his lips, and he paused for less than a second. It was completely unexpected. It may be that all the smart cells of the big and small brains died during the college entrance examination, so that he hasn't recovered yet. I understand why he wants to kiss him.

He kissed Jiang Xiao.

He actually kissed Jiang Xiao!

To be precise, he kissed a malefic who he both resented and longed to be close to, and who also had hatred towards him and seemed to be just about to accept him.

All the heat and residual warmth of getting high marks in the college entrance examination and stepping on shit luck were all ruined by that abrupt kiss.He was still a little confused at that time, but Jiang Xiao was exceptionally sober, but he was sure that his brother didn't scold him, let alone say anything.

But he didn't hold him anymore, but took him home by his collar and threw him on the bed, as if he was still standing by his bed and watching him for a while, he forgot what expression he had, but he was in a daze Sensing it, his brother stretched out his foot on his ass and kicked him hard a few times.

Everything was like a dream, and he had just tasted the sweetness when he was woken up by his brother's kicks.

It's impossible to say that he won't be lost. After he woke up, he found that Jiang Xiao was gone. Shen Qing regretted that the brotherhood that hadn't started had been ruined in his own hands, but he couldn't figure out why he wanted to kiss his brother. I don't even understand why that person is so stingy that he doesn't even give him time to explain.

coward.He cursed that bastard in his heart.

During the nearly two months of summer vacation, Jiang Xiao told his family that he was working as a tutor at the school to earn some pocket money, but he never came back. Shen Qing knew it was because of him.

But so what?

Who hasn't held their breath yet?

Why is it Jiang Xiao's turn to show him face?

Kiss it, kiss it, a big man, usually he is very arrogant when he meets people, so what's so hypocritical about such a trivial matter?

Shen Qing didn't send him a word, and found a summer job in the town near her home.

There is nothing to explain.

His family is at a moderately well-to-do level, and having fun is the joy of those few days. The new university is located in a bustling big city, and the consumption level is much higher than theirs in Pinglong Town. Even if Jiang Xiao doesn't work part-time, he can still rely on scholarships to support himself. , He asked himself that he didn't have the skills of the top card, and before going to school, the bigger the wallet, the better.

The wage level in the small town is low, and he has earned more than 50 points in the past 4000 days. In fact, if he hadn't smashed the pots of boiling hot boiled pork slices and pimple soup, and knocked down the whole pig at the class reunion table in the private room After dinner, he can still buy two new clothes for himself.

But it doesn't matter whether you buy clothes or not, Shen Qing cherishes his life very much, if he does it again, those few dishes will have to be dropped again and again.

Are you all right?

Thinking of the big pig's trotters that were fried to a golden yellow, greasy but not greasy, and lying on the plate with a sizzling aroma, Shen Qing's stomach started to growl.

After sleeping in the waiting hall, I went to sleep on the train again. After waking up with hunger, I found that there was darkness outside the window. After a short period of feeling like a world away, Shen Qing took out her phone and checked the time. It was almost nine o'clock.

The train arrived at the station at [-]:[-]. After getting off the train, he looked at the WeChat family group again, but there was no news.

Shen Qing took back his mobile phone, dragged two big boxes and walked out of the station along the flow of people.

It's easy to walk on flat ground, but once he gets up and down the stairs, he has to lift weights, climbing up and down the steps with a load of hundreds of kilograms in one hand. No matter how good a person's physical fitness is, he can't carry people who are bumping back and forth. Duili walked steadily with heavy weights, and when he got out of the station, Shen Qing's arm was about to fail.

He threw the two boxes against the wall, and stared at the two evil black things against the wall.

If you don’t do this, you have already packaged and mailed this thing. Now the station is two kilometers away from the school. There is no need to pay for a taxi, but you still have to walk across a pedestrian bridge with high stairs. The bastard who lived near here and was supposed to pick him up, lied to him that he took the university entrance exam and took no responsibility at all. He didn't even fart in the group all day today.

Shen Qing's eyes were heavy, she shrugged her shoulders and lowered the bulging mountaineering bag that she had been carrying on her body all the time, to let her back get some air from being stuffed up, then put her hands on the suitcase resignedly, bowed her head and took a deep breath : "You narrow-minded idiot Jiang Xiao, just based on this time, you will have to kneel and lick me like a cow or a horse in the next life and the next life!"

"Shen Qing," a deep and familiar male voice came from behind, angrily said: "Are you impatient to live?"
