Ji Guang

After the evening self-study, the two of them finally went home together after a few days, and along the way Xiang Huai was extremely chatty, chattering excitedly.

"What's the matter between you and that person?" Lin Ji asked casually.

Xiang Huai suddenly fell silent.

Seeing his reaction, Lin Ji frowned, and Xiang Huai hurriedly said, "It's nothing."

Lin Ji snorted, and Xiang Huai said nervously again, "Don't be angry!"

"What do you say."

"There's nothing to say?" Xiang Huai looked confused.

"never mind."

Xiang Huai leaned in front of Lin Ji's face with his face stretched out, but Lin Ji stretched out his hand and pushed him away. Xiang Huai didn't give up, and leaned in front of Lin Ji's face relentlessly, insisting on seeing if he was angry.

The two quarreled all the way back home, Xiang Huai entered the door and met Song Lingran's gaze, and they were shocked.

Before Song Lingran could roll up his sleeves, he rushed forward and hugged Song Lingran, shaking for a while, and said coquettishly, "Mom, I'm back, do you miss me? I miss you so much!"

Song Lingran sneered: "It's fighting again, right?"

Song Lingran hated Xiang Huai's strict prohibition on fighting, and taught him a lesson every time he was caught, but Xiang Huai didn't remember to eat or fight, so it was very difficult to control.

Xiang Huai wrapped both of Song Lingran's arms in his arms, preventing her from moving, and said, "No! I fell."

"You let me go."

"I don't." Xiang Huai rubbed his prickly head on Song Lingran's shoulder, looking like a rascal.

Song Lingran was so angry, and her strength was completely inferior to Xiang Huai, she rushed to the sofa and said angrily to Xiang Qi, "Take care of your son!"

"Oh," Xiang Qi immediately lowered his face, "Brat let go of your mother."

Xiang Huai picked her up and Song Lingran threw her on the sofa, then ran back to the room.

Xiang Qi said aggrievedly, "He doesn't listen to me."

Song Lingran saw Lin Ji standing next to her, realized that Lin Ji had seen the scene just now, felt a little embarrassed, and scolded: "This bastard."

After being made a fuss about by Xiang Huai, Song Lingran couldn't get angry anymore, and Xiang Huai freely went in and out with two band-aids on her face. Song Lingran glanced at him, got a little annoyed, and slapped Xiang Huai on the back, However, Xiang Huai's skin is rough and fleshy, this level has no effect on him at all.

Xiang Qi was sitting on the sofa looking up travel guides, Xiang Huai squatted behind him and took a look, wondering: "Why do you check this, do you want to go out to play?"

"Just take a look," Xiang Qi said, "It will be the [-]th anniversary of your mother and I in a while."

"Yo," Xiang Huai patted Xiang Qi's hair, "It's quite romantic when you're old."

"Be more honest during this time," Song Lingran said, "The four of us will go out to play together for two days next weekend, or I won't take you with me."

"If you don't take it, don't take it, I don't want to go yet." Xiang Huai said.

"Then you stay at home by yourself, go with Xiao Ji and the three of us."

"That won't work," Xiang Huai smiled brightly at Lin Ji, "I want to go if Lin Ji goes!"

"When the time comes, Xiaoji can bring your camera." Song Lingran said.

"That's right," Xiang Huai said, "You bought that camera and never used it. Look, you might as well buy me the pair of sneakers that I like. I promise to wear them every day!"

Song Lingran didn't bother to answer Xiang Huai's nonsense, and asked Lin Ji, "Is it okay?"

Lin Ji smiled and said, "Okay."

After returning to the room, Lin Ji closed the door, and his eyes fell on the box next to the closet. After looking at it for a long time, he slowly walked over and squatted down beside the box.

There are many things in the box, the top one is the camera that Song Lingran gave him some time ago, except that he opened it once in front of Song Lingran that night, and he never touched it again after that.

Lin Ji watched in silence for a while, then reached out to open the box and took out the camera.The black camera fell into his eyes, and his movements froze. His eyes, which had always been calm, trembled inexplicably, and after a while, his hands also trembled.

He tried to install the lens, but his hands were shaking more and more. He gritted his teeth and kept moving his hands. He insisted on going on. When he tried to put his eyes close to the viewfinder, it seemed that a wall was bent into The shape of a sphere wrapped around him from all directions with a huge pressure, his consciousness spun around in an instant, and his stomach turned uncomfortably...

boom!The camera dropped into the box, Lin Ji sat on the ground with a pale face, he closed his eyes, he still felt that the whole world was spinning, and the scar on his face and back that had healed up suddenly began to hurt violently, making him unconsciously Let out a low cry of pain.

He clenched his hands into fists and pressed his forehead hard, trying to resist the feeling of dizziness and pain, but a layer of cold sweat quickly appeared on his back, the fabric inside his clothes was immediately wet, and his forehead was covered with sweat , He clenched his teeth, stubbornly refusing to make any more sound.

On Saturday, Lin Ji did not stay at home to study, but went out early with a camera.The taste of autumn is getting stronger and stronger, it has already added some coldness of winter, and even a trace of decay has been added to the yellowed reeds, but it has a different smell under the bright sun, and the small brooms are shaking slightly in the wind with.

Lin Ji sat in the reeds, looking at the surrounding scenery, tried to pick up the camera several times, but every time the feeling of dizziness hit him first, making it impossible for him to take pictures.

Lin Ji frowned, hating such a useless self, but he couldn't resist.Fear has been deeply embedded in his bone marrow, and he may never be able to escape that prison in his life...

Lin Ji didn't know how long he had been sitting there alone. The cold sweat oozed from the forehead, was dried by the wind, and then oozed out again. .

Severe palpitations kept attacking him. After a long time, his heart beat fast and even hurt. However, he was so stubborn that he refused to let go of the camera with his weak hands. He tried again and again, but his eyes never caught sight. Get close to the frame.

He was too frightened of the world out there, and he hated the fear too much.

It was not easy to sleep in on the weekend, Xiang Huai didn't get up until noon, Song Lingran and Xiang Qi were both cooking in the kitchen, Xiang Huai searched in every room, but did not see Lin Ji.

He asked Song Lingran: "Mom, where is Lin Ji?"

"Going out in the morning."

After Song Lingran finished speaking and looked at him with a smile, Xiang Huai felt puzzled: "What do you think I am doing?"

Song Lingran just smiled and didn't make a sound, seeing Xiang Huai's heart ache, Xiang Qi translated from the side: "Your mother wanted to say that when Lin Ji first came, you still regarded Lin Ji as an enemy, but now you start looking for him after you can't see him for a while, how about it, it's so sweet right?"

"Who's looking for him?" Xiang Huai retorted not very seriously.

As a result, Lin Ji didn't come back until the meal time. Lin Ji always obeyed the rules and had a sense of time. However, the cell phone rang in Lin Ji's room, and Lin Ji didn't take the cell phone out at all.

The three of them waited for a while, Xiang Huai couldn't sit still, and said, "I'll go find him."

"Do you know where he went?" Song Lingran asked.

Xiang Huai hummed, went to the room to change clothes, and went out.

Xiang Huai guessed that Lin Ji might have gone to the reeds next to the abandoned city again, and he didn't know what magic power was there, Lin Ji liked to drill into it.

In late autumn, even the sun at noon was not very scorching, but Xiang Huai walked so fast that he broke out in sweat after a while.

The patch of reeds was huge, shining golden under the sun, covering everything inside tightly, and Lin Ji's shadow could not be seen at all.

Xiang Huai took two steps in and shouted, "Lin Ji!"

No one responded.

Xiang Huai was a little puzzled, so he yelled twice, but there were still only the sounds of the wind blowing the reeds and the water flowing.Although the reeds were very loud, Xiang Huai's voice was not low. If Lin Ji was really inside, he wouldn't be able to hear him.

not there?Xiang Huai was puzzled and walked in without stopping. He didn't see Lin Ji sitting there until he got to the innermost part.

"Why don't you say anything?" Xiang Huai breathed a sigh of relief, and walked towards Lin Ji, "I thought you weren't here. Do you know what time it is?"

Lin Ji sat on the ground with a camera in his hand, quietly looking at the slender root of a reed in front of him. Xiang Huai felt that he was a little strange, so he called out again: "Lin Ji?"

Only then did Lin Ji look up at him, and asked, "Why are you here?"

"You'll be able to have dinner straight away after you sit down for a while and go home, you know?" Xiang Huai sat down next to Lin Ji carelessly, and reached out to grab the camera in his hand, "Are you here to take pictures? Why are you so obsessed with taking pictures?" ..."

Lin Ji dodged his hand, and Xiang Huai was taken aback for a moment, only to realize that Lin Ji's face was abnormally pale.

Xiang Huai panicked, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's okay." Lin Ji wanted to stand up as he said that, but halfway through his stand, he staggered and was supported by Xiang Huai. The sleeves of his coat ran up because of the two people's movements, and Xiang Huai's eyes widened. , forcefully pulled Lin Ji's arm over, rolled up the sleeve, and several bloodstains were exposed in front of his eyes, as if someone had scratched hard.

"What's going on!" Xiang Huai's face was stern, which was very different from his usual idle look.Lin Ji frowned, pulled his arm out of Xiang Huai's hand forcefully, and casually put down the sleeve, as if the injury wasn't on him.

"It has nothing to do with you." Lin Ji said.

"Fuck your mother, Lin Ji!" Xiang Huai stood up suddenly, with a serious look in his eyes, "Don't fucking talk to me like that again, it has nothing to do with me? It has something to do with me!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand to snatch the camera from Lin Ji's hand: "I want to see what fucking pictures you took today. You can take pictures of people like this!"

Lin Ji didn't give it to him, the two of them snatched a few back and forth, and it turned into a fight. Xiang Huai pressed Lin Ji under his body, trying to grab the camera in his hand, Lin Ji turned over and pressed Xiang Huai down again, kneeling Supporting his waist and abdomen, with an expressionless face, he said coldly: "Want to fight?"

"Hit!" Xiang Huai yelled angrily, "Who the hell doesn't hit is the grandson!"

As he said he stretched his legs and was about to hit Lin Ji, both of them were filled with anger, neither of them would let go for a while, they overwhelmed a piece of reed, both of them were punched and kicked a few times, but no matter how angry Xiang Huai was, he would hold back Concentrating on it, Lin Ji didn't hit Xiang Huai with too much force. Rather than saying it was a fight, it might be better to say that both of them needed a vent.

Xiang Huai grabbed Lin Ji's arm that was thrown at him, and cursed angrily, "Don't use this fucking arm!"

Lin Ji's movements stopped, he looked down at Xiang Huai for a few seconds, his eyes suddenly softened, then turned around and got off Xiang Huai's body, lying on the reeds flattened by them beside him, his chest was still heaving slightly with.

The two of them suddenly fell silent, and Xiang Huai's breathing was also very fast. He lay on the ground without moving for a long time, looking at the sun above his head through the staggered reeds. After a while, he covered his eyes with his arms and said in a low voice: " Can you tell me what's going on?"

Lin Ji didn't speak, but let go of the hand that had been holding the camera.

Xiang Huai sat up, turned on the camera, and found that it was empty with nothing.Lin Ji sat here for five or six hours without taking any pictures.

The reeds under them were soft and dry, and the two of them didn't speak for a moment. In silence, Lin Ji moved towards Xiang Huai's position, rubbed against Xiang Huai's thigh, and then wrapped his arms around Xiang Huai's with one hand abruptly. waist, and buried his face in the gap between Xiang Huai's thigh and the reed under him.

The iron zipper on Xiang Huai's coat brushed against his ears, it was icy cold, but what he felt against Xiang Huai's skin was warmth, Lin Ji smelled Xiang Huai's breath, and closed his eyes.

He was extremely tired. In the past year or so, he had experienced too many such emotions. He stubbornly fought against himself, for fear of being seen as weak by others, and did not even dare to show any pain. But now, that way For the first time the line of defense was breached.

Xiang Huai's body froze, and after a while, his hand landed on Lin Ji's hair with some hesitation, and gradually turned into a gentle caress. It was the first time since his birth that his hand was so gentle, and he was only afraid that it was not enough. treasure.
