prefer silence

Zheng Chen played the recording.

In the first few minutes, Chen Zheng kept describing how I worked so hard to find Yuan Jie's whereabouts, and he said it vividly.

I couldn't help but blush, and groaned and glanced at Chen Zheng, "It's too exaggerated, it's not that hard."

"It's not hard physically, but you are under too much psychological pressure. I dare not speak loudly to you during this time. Besides, if you don't sell yourself a little miserable, how can you make him soft-hearted? He looks like a person who takes soft things but not tough ones. same as you."

"Okay, okay." I continued to listen.

When Chen Zheng mentioned that I was the adopted son of the Li family, when he talked about my father's bad things, and about my mother's difficult situation, I couldn't keep the smile on my face, and I was even a little angry, "You tell him these things. what?"

Wouldn't it scare Yuan Jie away even more if he told him this?I obviously want to create a beautiful family image in front of him, loving parents, and a younger brother whose blood is thicker than water, these are the most attractive.How could he want to return to a crumbling home that was suddenly in danger?

"Don't be annoyed, just listen to—"

Chen Zheng pressed me on the bed, clamped my waist with his strong long legs, "Don't explode, Yuan Yuan."

I just had to keep listening.

Yuan Jie said: "Yu Yuan didn't tell me this..."

"He didn't tell you because he was afraid that you would be worried. He has been in a bad state recently. If he has offended you in any way, I will apologize to you on his behalf."

"Ah, no need, brother Chen, I can understand him when you put it that way...Well, isn't Yu Yuan my real brother? I feel very close to him."

"As long as you think about it, he is your own brother. He likes you very much, and Mom looks forward to you very much. She has kept your childhood photos for more than 20 years. Don't you want to see her?"

After a while of silence, Yuan Jie said, "Actually, it's a lie to say that I don't want to see you at all. I'm in a mess. If you didn't tell me, I wouldn't have dreamed of it. My name is fake, my birthday is fake, Dad. My mother is also fake. But what can I do? They have raised me for so many years, they only have one son, I have to give them a pension. If I go back to Li's house, you will definitely not let me return to the other side Keep in touch. Instead of doing this, it’s better to make mistakes.”

"There is still room for negotiation on this issue."

……

At the end of this conversation, Yuan Jie seemed to let go a lot, and he didn't express any obvious rejection of going back to Li's house in his words.

He also said to Chen Zheng: "Brother Chen, you can also help me and Yu Yuan... say thank you, he has endured a lot, and I don't blame him. If there is a chance in the future, I, I hope that I can do it too." Be his big brother."

When I heard this, my eyes turned sour, "He is really like my mother, the same nostalgia, and the same kindness. At least, half of his heart wants to come back, I don't want to force him."

Chen Zheng lightly pecked at my eyelashes, and his breath hit my eyelids, "Yuan Yuan is also very good, rather than icing on the cake, you are all more willing to give charcoal in a timely manner, aren't you?"

I whimpered and nodded, "Yeah, I see, I understand what you mean."

Yuan Jie has his own persistence and pride. To impress him, he can't show his beauty with a tough posture.On the contrary, give him the initiative and let him occupy the commanding heights, and gravity will always attract him to land on the ground.

"Brother Zheng, I also want to be his younger brother well."

……

We arranged the meeting between parents and Yuan Jie on Saturday.

On Friday night, Chen Zheng and I went back to our original homes.It was the same as when I was a student, only separated by two doors and a corridor.

Mom was very restless this night, and she had to open the refrigerator layer by layer to check the ingredients for tomorrow's cooking, and wandered around the kitchen and dining room in a whirl.

Dad sat on the sofa and watched the news, and the text messages reported the past, but he lost the interest in making comments, and his eyes were full of absent-mindedness.

I really couldn't see it, so I ran to the kitchen and held my mother down, "Mom, don't turn around, take a rest."

"Oh, I'm not upset. Yuan Yuan, is that Yuan Jie really Xiao Heng? You said his mole was planted, but is it possible that he is lying to you?" Mom frowned and muttered , "Xiao Heng really doesn't have moles on his face."

Ever since I told my parents that Yuan Jie was Xiao Heng, my father showed no doubts after carefully checking the identification report, and even asked Chen Zheng to ask for Yuan Jie's resume.

Instead, it was my mother who I thought was most likely to accept the good news immediately. While sending a message asking me what Yuan Jie likes to eat, she awkwardly hinted whether I might have made a mistake. It couldn't be more contradictory.

"Really, really, Mom, you have to believe in science." I helped Mom move the newly washed dishes into the disinfection cabinet, "You will know when you see him tomorrow."

Before going to bed, I had a video call with Chen Zheng.

This feeling is very novel, our geographical distance is very close, as long as I think about it, I can walk to him in less than a minute, but the interaction of electronic devices makes us seem to be in a long-distance relationship.

I told Chen Zheng my most intuitive feelings: "We seem to be in a long-distance relationship."

Chen Zheng raised the corner of his mouth, "It's true to say that. You are at your house and I am at mine. The straight-line distance between me and you exceeds ten meters. This is a long-distance relationship."

"Is this your definition of long-distance relationship?"

"If I define it, as long as it's not by your side, it's a long-distance relationship." Chen Zheng nodded without shyness at all, which is quite natural.

My heart thumped faster for a moment, and the blood pooled mischievously on my face. I quickly covered the camera with my hand and complained: "In this case, why didn't you agree to sleep with me when Mom kept you? My The bed is not that small, two people can sleep in it, haven't you slept in it before?"

"Because tonight is very special to your family. Yuanyuan, to you, I am the closest relationship with you, but to my parents, I am still separated by a layer. They need to pack up to welcome A lost and found family member, tonight is the final preparations, and my presence will disturb them."

"Okay...you are the most reasonable, I know." I lay down under the quilt, "Then don't hang up, wait until I fall asleep, and hang up again, I am also very nervous now."

Before Chen Zheng issued the radiation warning, I preemptively said: "You are not allowed to talk about radiation today, brother Zheng, you have to say something nice."

"Okay, how about singing a lullaby to lull you to sleep?"

I closed my eyes, slowed down my breathing, and waited to hear Chen Zheng's lullaby.

"Stars shining bright above you,

NightbreezesseemtwhisperIloveyou..."

Gentle and gentle, the weak electric current magnifies the charm of the magnetic sound, and the low-pitched voice turns into my arms.

Good night, Chen Zheng.

Yuan Jie's trapping plan was successful.

The ending is "dream littledream"
