Your ex boyfriend, I took over

Chen Shuang knew that Qu Nan was crying, but he didn't guess that Qu Nan would be unable to control his tears in the corridor or in public places.

But he was also relieved, because the man had finally learned to cry again.

The teardrops gushed out almost instantly, and finally they were no longer held back alive, but were allowed to fall.Every drop is still very big, as if to tell everyone that this person actually loves to cry.

That's right, at this moment, Qu Nan finally remembered, or rather he dared to remember, how easily his eyes got red.

With tears running down his face, he looked up at the photo.

The muscles of the face are not used to expressing emotions, the perfect mask is shattered, and inside is a real self.The eyelids blinked, the way a child cried, and the aggrieved face seemed to be waiting for someone to coax her.The nose starts to turn red, which means that the emotions are brewing to the maximum. When a person is excited, even if he is not crying, his nose is still red.

Qu Nan suddenly pulled the corners of his mouth far-fetchedly, and smiled towards the photo.

"Don't cry, Xiao Nan." Someone once comforted him, "Don't cry."

I'm sorry bro, I can't do it anymore, I'm too useless, I can never be you.Qu Nan began to wipe his tears with his palm, the back of his hand, his fingers, and even his wrist.Sorry, I'm still such a crybaby, I haven't grown up at all.Where are you?

The empty seat in the photo seems to be talking to him, as if someone is persuading him.

After a heavy breath, Qu Nan's chest, which had not been rising and falling obviously, finally couldn't hold back, and it bulged like a bellows.It began to take deep breaths, abdominal breathing, to finish the breath that did not dare to take a deep breath, and to exhale the breath that had been kept deep in the lungs for a long time, and emptied it all.

After vacating, new air is sent in, and new life begins.

Qu Nan's right hand was still pressed on the photo, he lowered his head, tears fell to the ground in a straight line, his shoulders were driven by the ups and downs of his chest, and began to rise slightly, gradually the outline of the shoulder blades could be seen.He knew that he and his elder brother didn't look like each other, but their backs should be similar. He was wearing the shadow of another person and lived until now.

Now that layer of shadow began to retreat, like an ebb tide, tearing away from him.Something is drifting away again, gradually blurring, and it hurts so much.

He started to cry aloud, from the quiet sob at the beginning to a soft cry, every inhalation and inhalation was like a reminder, telling all the students in the corridor that someone here was crying.His straight waist began to bend, his elbows began to retract, and both hands touched the photo together.

He raised his face again, and the empty seat in the photo was filled by his memory.Sitting a big boy smiling at him.

"Brother." Qu Nan smiled again, slowly leaned over, and kissed on that chair.There is obviously a person on the chair, but no one else can see it.

After the kiss, Qu Nan's two hands slid down against the wall, as if he had exhausted all his strength just now, and now he had to squat down.He changed from standing and crying to kneeling, with his hands pressed against the wall, the top of his head on the back of his hands, his face down, taking a deep breath, and his back arched high.

He hasn't had time to say goodbye to his brother, say take care, and say don't go.He couldn't accept it, and couldn't let go no matter how he thought about it.He wants to grab his brother, as long as he grabs his hand, he won't advance that afternoon.

I haven't had time to grow up yet, why are you leaving?

"Brother!" The cry was louder than before, and the ability that had been awakened began to release the accumulation of more than ten years, like a cumulonimbus cloud following Qu Nan's head like a shadow, until a heavy rain washed away the fog.His arms also began to tremble, and when he took a deep breath, his chest seemed to burst his ribs, and even his shoulder blades had to be stretched to let the people inside come out.

Qu Nan's cries echoed in the corridor. In addition to the grief of losing his loved ones, he also cried for the pain of athletes.They are just a group of people who want to win gold medals. After 20 years, who will remember them.Silent regrets include not only the twilight of heroes and aging beauties, but also the retirement of athletes.

What is a gold medal?Qu Nan still didn't understand.He only knows that the baton has passed from his grandfather to his father, from his father to his elder brother, and now it belongs to him.

"Brother..." Qu Nan raised his head and looked up at the seniors in the high jump world.He wants to complete this photo, and he wants his brother to sit on it again.

Chen Shuang squatted beside him, paying attention to Qu Nan's expression all the time, and didn't know if it was right for him to let him cry to the end, and he didn't expect Qu Nan to hide so deeply.

As long as his tears are not finished, he will never let go.

He was afraid that Qu Nan would cry out his eyes and voice, and he was also afraid that Qu Nan would not be able to bear it and replaced him with Brother Bei.He is too fragile, so fragile that if I say a few harsh words to him, I want to run away.

But no, it was always Qu Nan, Brother Bei seemed to be silent, and did not come out to protect him at the most vulnerable moment of the protagonist's personality.

Chen Shuang grabbed Qu Nan's wrist, which was wet from crying, and their collars touched each other.He pulled Qu Nan into his arms in public, and immediately, hot tears flowed into his neckline and wet his collarbone.

"Cry, there is no one around, only me." Chen Shuang also felt that everyone in the corridor had disappeared. They trained each other and entered the place that only belonged to two people together, "Only me."

Qu Nan hugged Chen Shuang's shoulders tightly, crying loudly.

What happened before the eyes made the rest of the people unexpected.Cheng Dan, who felt that brother Nan was extremely strong and set an example for him ten minutes ago, was speechless.Tao Wenchang and Bai Yang helped evacuate the students who were watching the excitement around, and made a space for Qu Nan to finish crying.

Chen Shuang kept holding him, listening to his breathing one after another.

When the class was about to start, the students dispersed, and they waited for Huang Jun who had heard the news.A few students rushed to his office just now, saying that Qu Nan had collapsed, so he hurried over to find someone.

He thought that Qu Nan's condition had been adjusted yesterday, but he didn't expect...

"Coach." Bai Yang stopped him, "Let him finish crying."

Huang Jun stopped and stood a few meters away from Qu Nan.

"Ah." There was only Qu Nan's crying intermittently in the corridor, but it never stopped. Huang Jun looked at Chen Shuang again, as if he understood something, "Wait for him to heal in a while, tell him to let him go." One day off, he is allowed to go home and rest. When he comes back at night, he is not allowed to eat outside."

"Thank you coach." Bai Yang said.

"Let Chen Shuang take him back and come back together." Huang Jun said again.

Bai Yang paused for a moment, Huang Jun probably noticed it. "Thank you coach."

Chen Shuang didn't know how long he was crying, only that his uniform, chest and shoulders were wet.Brother Bei didn't come out to carry Qu Nan, but Qu Nan blushed and said nothing.

He accompanied him to the dormitory to simply pack his luggage, changed his clothes, and left the school with a note written by Huang Jun himself.The number of people on the street seems to have increased. After the college entrance examination, senior high school students can be seen everywhere.The last vacation of their high school years officially began, with a finally relieved smile on their faces.

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the community, and Chen Shuang pulled Qu Nan out of the car, fearing that he might not be able to open his eyes.Qu Nan's eyes were indeed too sore to open, and the eyelids were heavy, but they didn't start to swell.

There was a large roll of toilet paper in the bag, and I wiped my nose all the way.

At the door of the house, Qu Nan handed the key to Chen Shuang and asked him to open the door.

"Uncle, aunt, grandpa, we are back." Unscrewing the door lock again, Chen Shuang was no longer restrained, "I brought Qu Nan back."

The person who came to greet them at the door was Zhang Yulan.

"Why are you back?" Zhang Yulan obviously didn't expect her son to come back, but when she looked into Qu Nan's eyes, she didn't ask too much, "Your dad is sleeping after taking medicine. You go upstairs to rest...are you eating at home today?"

"Auntie, we have to go back to school tonight, so we can't eat outside." Qu Nan was dumb, and Chen Shuang answered for him.

"That's right, you all..." Zhang Yulan welcomed the two of them without saying the word "competition".Qu Nan went upstairs first, and Chen Shuang looked at the mess downstairs, and bent over to help clean it up.

"Thank you for sending him back." Zhang Yulan picked up the broken cup, "Did Qu Nan's father go to school?"

"Yeah." Chen Shuang thought for a while, "Auntie, Qu Nan cried for a long time today, don't talk about him. He is about to compete and needs encouragement from his family. These years...he has also suffered a lot."

Zhang Yulan just nodded and sighed. "Don't be too busy, go upstairs to accompany him, he may feel better with his classmates."

Chen Shuang didn't go upstairs immediately, but helped Zhang Yulan clean the coffee table.When he was about to go up, he saw the green plants in front of the shutters again.

There seemed to be a big riot at home, and everything that could be smashed seemed to be broken.It's good if it's broken, only if it's broken can you buy a new one for this family.He reached out and touched the soil of the green plants. There was no shortage of water, and the reason for the poor growth should be the lack of sunlight.

Moving the flowerpot to the window, Chen Shuang opened the blinds to make sure that the light was shining on the leaves before going upstairs.

The first thing waiting for him upstairs was the dog.

Almost unrecognizable, from a scrawny injured stray to a shiny domestic dog.It is now wearing a beautiful collar, the wound on the ear is fully grown, and it is lying on the side of the stairs, as if guarding the owner's territory.

It stopped Chen Shuang, and smelled Chen Shuang's shoes and calves.Chen Shuang was nervous and afraid of being bitten, but it didn't move anymore.

Maybe it's because I smell of Qu Nan... Chen Shuang gently pushed open the bedroom door.

In the house, it seems to be different.

Although Qu Nan only came up 10 minutes earlier than himself, all the furnishings in the room were taken away.The original awards hanging on the wall are gone, the medals in the box on the bookshelf are gone, and the golden trophies in the display cabinet are gone.

Everything about Qu Xiangbei was taken down.

There was a large cardboard box on the desk, and Qu Nan was standing in front of the cardboard box, looking at the medal in his hand.Look at one, and close one of the medal gift boxes, as if a piece of fragments and memories have been sealed.

He removed all the traces about Qu Xiangbei and put them away carefully.There was no dust on the trophy, so he wiped it with his hands, and put it in the box after kissing.

After all this was done, Qu Nan pulled out another flat cardboard box from under the bed.What is placed here is one's own glory.

He took them all out and saw the light again.The place where my brother's certificate used to be was replaced by my own certificate, and the place where my brother's medal used to be is my own box.

The number is still not as many as my brother.But that's all he has.

"What did my mother tell you?" After An An finished all this quietly, Qu Nan turned around.At this time, the roots of the eyelashes began to swell first, and it was foreseeable that I would not be able to see people tomorrow.

"She said, let you cheer for the competition." Chen Shuang panicked.

But this lie was quickly exposed by Qu Nan. "Impossible. My mother would never say such a thing. My mother hates competitions the most. She opposes my participation."

"But she hopes so in her heart." Chen Shuang came to Qu Nan's side and supported him from behind, fearing that he would faint due to exhaustion, "I heard that, that's what she said in her heart."

Qu Nan looked at the wall of glory, his blood seemed to have been washed.

"Help me bring that box over here." He pointed to the top shelf of another bookshelf, "I'm sorry, I'm really out of strength, I just realized how exhausting it is to cry today."

"I'll help you if you don't have the physical strength. I'm so strong." Chen Shuang said as he moved the chair and easily took off the top cardboard box.The crying Omega is the most vulnerable at this time, and I have to protect him.

"What's in here?" He handed the box to Qu Nan.

Qu Nan was arranging the books on the bookshelf, putting the cultural textbooks that hadn't been read for a long time on the top, and putting some philosophy books on the outermost.The box opened, and inside was a chess set.

"Lu Shui gave this to Brother Bei." He said, opening the wooden box.After the box was opened, it was like a chessboard when it was laid flat. He randomly placed the chess pieces in the grids of the chessboard.

"Are you right?" Chen Shuang asked uncertainly.Qu Nan only divided the camps based on the color, but the placement seems... not quite right.

"It should be right, I think it's just like this." Qu Nan was full of confidence.

"Well, since you have said so." He said it very confidently, and Chen Shuang really believed that he was sure, "It's just... why did you take out Brother Bei's things? Is he... still there?" ?”

Qu Nan shook his head. "I just think...Brother Bei has never left any trace in this family."

"Brother Bei..." Chen Shuang's mood was even more complicated. The younger brother was still waiting for Brother Bei to watch him play, and they didn't even have a formal farewell.

"I'm going to be ugly tomorrow." There was also a senior high school graduation photo in the box, and he put the framed photo of the whole class on the table, "My eyes must be ridiculously swollen."

"No, you are handsome no matter what." Chen Shuang looked at the photo. Although the dual personalities share the same body, if they are familiar enough with both personalities, they can instantly distinguish them. "This is Brother Bei?"

"Yes, it was him on the day the group photo was taken." Qu Nan smiled, "Look, this is Bai Yang."

"Team Bai?" Chen Shuang picked up the photo frame. Apart from Brother Bei with an indifferent expression, Team Bai was also easy to recognize. He was wearing the same high school uniform without glasses. "How did Team Bai get injured?"

Qu Nan also looked at Bai Yang, with a plaster cast on his left arm. "Fight, he was a man of the school back then, don't think he's easy to mess with."

"I never thought Team Bai was easy to provoke. I always felt that he could kill Tang Yu with one punch." Chen Shuang only thought that Qu Nan and Bai Yang were funny in the third year of high school, but he never thought that someone who always claimed to be calm would also have impulsive moments .

"I'm fine...you're right, I feel a lot better after crying." Qu Nan's right eye was completely red, maybe it was on Chen Shuang's shoulder when he was crying, "Go downstairs and accompany my grandpa, I Let's tidy up the room."

"Okay, let's go to the rooftop to have a look later." Chen Shuang felt relieved after hearing what he said, and went downstairs to accompany the family for Qu Nan.Zhang Yulan went to the kitchen, only Zhang Hui was left in the living room cleaning up.

"Hello, grandpa." Chen Shuang called out obediently, and helped the old man clean the TV cabinet.

"Scared you?" Zhang Hui supported his lower back, "I'm really old."

"I'm not scared, I'm very brave." Chen Shuang quickly went to help him, and helped Zhang Hui onto the sofa, "Sit down and rest."

"I can't rest, I can't rest yet." Zhang Hui waved his hand, he is old, his vocal cords are also old, and his voice sounds weak, "I can't rest yet."

Chen Shuang was afraid that his body would not be able to bear it, so she squatted beside him and guarded. "Are... are you feeling unwell?"

"It's not uncomfortable, it's just old." Zhang Hui picked up the cattail fan beside him and fanned it slowly, "I can't rest yet."

"Why?" Chen Shuang asked.

"Because China's sports career is not yet complete, and I still have a lot to see." Zhang Hui closed his eyes, "Sooner or later, I will see Chinese high jumpers on the podium of international competitions. I can see that foreigners can't jump with yellow skin and black eyes, and there will definitely be people of yellow race in all projects monopolized by foreigners..."

His voice became smaller and smaller, and his breath became weaker and weaker. After speaking, he stopped moving, and even the cattail fan in his hand stopped on his chest.Chen Shuang wanted to call out, but couldn't call out for a moment. The old man in front of him seemed to be running out of oil, which was scary.

"Grandpa..." Chen Shuang muttered to himself, his eyes moistened instantly, and he stretched out his hand tremblingly, wanting to try Zhang Hui's breath and touch his eyelids.This person is thinking about China's high jump even at the last moment. What the older generation of athletes failed to do, he can only place high hopes on the younger generation.Everyone is not playing for one person, but for all those who have paid.

"What are you doing!" Zhang Hui suddenly opened his eyes, just in time to see Chen Shuang's hand stretched under his nose.

"Wow!" Chen Shuang withdrew her hand in fright, "Scared me, I thought you..."

"Think I'm dead?" Zhang Hui stared at him brightly, then closed his eyes peacefully, with a smile on his lips, "No, I won't leave until China's high jump enters the Olympic Games. "
