It's early morning.

It has just rained in the forest in late summer, and the morning fog is thick.

The towering pine trees are stained with water and are emerald green.The warm sky light occasionally shines through the pine needles in the mountains, and the damp and rotting leaves are mixed in the mud, and they are stepped on.

Bo Xun put down the shotgun on his shoulder, opened his eyes that were looking at the front sight completely, and stopped squatting, standing up straight, "Xiong Xiong, go and have a look."

"Wow!" The great German Shepherd ran away after hearing the order.

After a while, the prey was brought back.

He looked at Bo Xun eagerly, as if seeking praise.

Bo Xun reached out, touched the furry head of the bear, took the prey and put it in the frame behind his back.

After graduating from university, he and Yu Jin moved out of the metropolis in Western Europe and moved to Northern Europe.

When Yu Jin doesn't need to go out to work or attend exhibitions, the two of them basically live in a wooden house in the forest. If they encounter bad weather or miss the fireworks in the world, they will return to the city for a temporary stay.

The quiet environment of the forest is more suitable for Yu Jin to paint with peace of mind.

Bo Xun also likes the primitive fun of hunting and fishing.

During the few years in college, Yu Jin quickly made a name for himself in the art world. Almost every painting was completed, and it was rushed to be collected by various galleries.

Bo Xun has been acting as a model for all of Yu Jin's portraits, as well as Yu Jin's operation assistant, helping Yu Jin with various job invitations.

The two said that they each had their own jobs, but in fact, they couldn't be busy for a few days throughout the year.

Even if they don't do anything, they can have a rich life. Work is just to dream, not to survive.

Every day, Bo Xun would get up early and take Xiong Xiong to hunt together, in a daze to train the shepherd dog into a hunting dog.

After returning home with a full load, he went back to the bedroom and slept next to Yu Jin for a while before going back to the cage.

After waking up again, I was not in a hurry to get up. Taking advantage of the hazy morning light and mist, I was full of energy in the morning, and it happened to be lingering for a while.

When the sky is bright, we will get up and wash together.

Bringing Xiong Xiong back to the small courtyard, Bo Xun threw the hunting tools in the warehouse on the first floor, went back to the house along the outdoor stairs, and turned on the pest control lamp.

Entering the bedroom, the light instantly became pitch black.

Bo Xun put down his coat and got into bed again.

Before he could get closer to Yu Jin, a pair of arms suddenly wrapped around his back, like vines, tightly imprisoning him.

Suffocation.

Bo Xun frowned in pain, "Yu Jin, Song..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt Yu Jin's chest heaving violently, and his breathing was very rapid. Under the dim natural light, his wide-eyed phoenix eyes were covered with bloodshot eyes, and there were still traces of dry tears on his face.

Bo Xun immediately realized something.

He no longer felt the tightness of his arms, but leaned a little more obediently into his thin chest, stretched out his hand patiently along the bony back, and softly comforted him: "Are you having a nightmare again?"

Yu Jin didn't speak, just hugged him tightly.

Bo Xun didn't ask any more questions, and slowly followed his back.

In his junior year, Yu Jin was completely free from psychotropic drugs, and was pronounced by the doctor to have fully recovered.

There were no signs of recurrence in the next two years.I will hardly recall the day when the accident happened, nor will I wake up suddenly in the middle of the night, and even occasionally I can sleep until I wake up naturally.

In the third year after stopping the medicine, this was the first time that Bo Xun saw Yu Jin wake up from the nightmare.

"Is what I see now real? Are you really in my arms?" Yu Jin's voice was hoarse, as if he was eager to confirm Bo Xun's existence.

Panicked hands pressed to the control panel at the head of the bed and opened the blackout curtains.

Outside the floor-to-ceiling windows, the sunlight and mist reflect the blue-green forest.

With the light, when Bo Xun's face could be seen clearly, Yu Jin's rapid breathing calmed down a bit, "I dreamed...you disappeared after waking up."

"How is it possible?" Bo Xun followed his words.

"I wanted to go out to find you. When I tried to stand up, I found that my legs were still numb, and only the wheelchair was parked beside the bed. I had to move the wheelchair to go out, but I searched all over the wooden house and small courtyard, but there was no sign of you. I went back I went to the room and rummaged through the cabinet where we stored our personal documents, and found that only my passport and residence permit were left, but yours was gone."

"I didn't believe that you would leave suddenly, so I called the police, hoping that the police could help me find your whereabouts, but the police said that they didn't find Bo Xun. I also provided the time when we entered the country, but only found out My entry record alone."

"I didn't think it was right, so I immediately bought a plane ticket back to China. First, I went back to No. [-] Middle School and found that Teacher Qin was still teaching at No. [-] Middle School. She hadn't changed much from many years ago, but she was a little older. She recognized me at a glance, and exchanged pleasantries. After the sentence, I asked her, didn't Bo Xun go abroad with me back then? She looked at me very strangely, as if it was the first time she heard the name Bo Xun."

"I found Xie Zhe again. When I saw Xie Zhe, he was working with his bodyguard in the company. I asked him if Bo Xun had contacted him. Xie Zhe was also at a loss and asked me who Bo Xun was. I said it was my deskmate in high school. Xie Zhe told me that in high school I sat alone in the last row of Class [-] and had no friends. Seeing that I was lonely alone, he would occasionally invite me and Seven The class will play together."

"I didn't believe it, so I went to Hui Village, and I happened to see Song Song who was visiting relatives in his hometown. When he asked about Bo Xun, Song Song was also very confused. Song Song said that he had been attending various cram schools since he was a child, and there was no When I was playing together, I was talking to myself when I was in high school. I asked other villagers, and everyone said that there has never been a family with the surname Bo in the village.”

Yu Jin choked up when he said this, "It seems that Bo Xun is only living in my fantasy, and never existed in reality."

"Then I 'woke up', but I woke up in the hospital bed/. The doctor told me it was time for the injection, and I asked the doctor Bo Xun. The doctor asked me why I kept repeating the same thing for so many years This name? Say, ever since I fell from a building at school when I was 13 and survived, I have been repeating the name 'Bo Xun'."

"That's when I realized that in fact, on that rainy day, when I was stuck in an alley, no one came to rescue me. When I stood on the edge of a cliff and hesitated whether to jump off, no one came to pull me back. From a In the beginning, my heroes and lovers were the products of fantasy, and there was no one at all..."

Before Yu Jin finished speaking, his voice turned into a crying voice, his shoulders shrugged, his breathing trembled violently, and his hands were tightly clenched behind Bo Xun's back.

When the eyes were closed, big drops of tears flowed through the light red eyes, and the nasal sound was very heavy when he inhaled.

Bo Xun lowered his head, kissed his hair, and said softly, "Then he woke up again, and found that he was in the bedroom, beside me, right?"

Feel the nod of the head in the dimple of the neck.

"What I'm experiencing now is real, right? You're really in my arms, right?" Yu Jin asked repeatedly, the sound of crying was still uncontrollable, his skinny knuckles were grasping too hard, and some turned white.

"Of course it's true. I'm in your arms and being hugged by you right now." After Bo Xun finished speaking, he turned around in his arms with difficulty, reached out and took a tissue from the bedside table, and wiped Yu Jin's tears.

"Dreams in dreams are a little scarier than ordinary nightmares, but don't worry, it's just a dream after all. Don't cry, okay? I brought fresh meat back from hunting, and I'll roast it for you later."

Yu Jin's sobbing voice subsided a little, "Will I wake up again? I found out that I have returned to the mental hospital?"

"Of course not. You are fully awake, and now you are in reality, how could you wake up again?"

Bo Xun scratched the back of Yu Jin's head, "And dreams are always reversed. The worse the dream, the better the reality."

As if believing in Bo Xun's existence, his trembling shoulders gradually calmed down.

Bo Xun let Yu Jin hold her, and suddenly, with the smell of wormwood and smoke, she left her neck and moved to her lips.

"..." Tasting the familiar temperature, Bo Xun parted his lips obediently, narrowed his eyes subconsciously, and let out a muffled snort, with a contented expression.

The feeling of kissing is the most graceful.

Bo Xun completely relaxed, allowing Yu Jin to absorb from his lips.

During the long kiss, Bo Xun could still feel those beautiful eyes overflowing with tears, helpless and funny, "Why are you still crying?"

"Suddenly remembered the past," Yu Jin sniffed, and the kiss gradually turned to his Adam's apple, "Now I think back to my behavior in high school... At that time, it seemed to keep pushing you farther and farther, not trying to possess at all you."

"Hiss—" Just as he was about to speak, there was a sudden pain in his Adam's apple, and Bo Xun gasped.

After he relieved a little, he opened his mouth and smiled helplessly, "It's been almost ten years, do you know how to reflect on yourself now?"

Yu Jin still wanted to cry a little, the tear-filled eyes of the phoenix were so pitiful, and this face made people tremble even more.But the hand lifted the ring through the clothes first, and said aggrievedly, "To be honest, didn't you really hate me back then?"

"Where do so many pretentious questions come from every day? How could I hate you? You looked like you in high school, fragile and beautiful. In my eyes, everything is right—" Before he finished speaking, Bo Xun subconsciously gritted his teeth, just now Want to reach out and push Yu Jin.

Both wrists were clenched with one hand and raised above his head.

The pain in front of the chest is still spreading.

Yu Jin's long hair hangs down, and the touch of it is even more indescribable.

"How do you manage to say such innocent words on your mouth, but your hands...are you planning to cry later—hiss..."

Before the morning mist cleared, it began to rain again in the forest.

The accumulated rainwater falls down the eaves of the wooden house, forming a water curtain, which pastes the scenery outside the window into color blocks.

Bo Xun took a sip of the water on the bedside table to moisten his throat.

When he lay back, there was still a pillow under his waist.

He turned around and saw the messy gauze and electric patches lying on the floor.

Yu Jin came in with coffee and iced Coke, and when he put down the Coke, he opened the can with one hand.

Taking a sip of coffee by himself, he squatted on the ground and patiently picked up the trash and threw it into the bucket, before starting to clean.

"I'll clean up later." Bo Xun cleared his throat with a hoarse and lazy voice.

"For so many years, I only heard you say later, but I have never seen you clean it once. Let me do it." Yu Jin seemed to be in a good mood. After cleaning the carpet, he hung up the vacuum cleaner and leaned back to Bo Xun's side , "Take you to take a bath?"

"I'll wash it myself, and I'll go later."

Yu Jin didn't urge him either, knowing that Bo Xun was sweating, he still laid a pillow on his sticky chest muscles, "Didn't I say that there will be an Egyptian-themed art exhibition next year, so I plan to travel to Egypt for a period of time in advance .”

"You did." Bo Xun hadn't switched from what he had just done to work.

"The air ticket is booked, we will leave next Wednesday."

"Ah?" Bo Xun immediately lay down a little.

He should be responsible for arranging the itinerary.

"Don't you need me to arrange the schedule for you?"

From the very beginning, the two of them discussed that Yu Jin was only responsible for An Xin's painting, and Bo Xun was responsible for daily life and work handover.

But it seems that in the past two years, it is Yu Jin who paints with peace of mind, and it is Yu Jin who arranges everything in life in an orderly manner.

Except that Bo Xun came to fix the fence and roof, almost everything in daily life was planned by Yu Jin, and he just had to obey.

"No, I still like to control everything by myself, including you," Yu Jin's voice was very light, "Your job is only to 'don't leave me', and you don't have to do anything else."

Bo Xun let out a "hmm", indicating that he heard it.

As long as Yu Jin likes it, he will cooperate with Yu Jin and pretend to be raised.

After resting for a while, Bo Xun got up to deal with the prey.

Xiong Xiong couldn't wait a long time ago, and when he smelled the meat, he circled around Bo Xun, howling constantly.

It was raining outside, so there was no way to have a barbecue in the courtyard, so the cooking work fell back to Yu Jin, and Bo Xun and Xiong Xiong waited for the meal.

After eating, Bo Xun looked at the flight information on his phone.

"Yanyan should arrive in the evening, when shall we leave?"

Yu Jin: "It's still early, just go in the afternoon."

Some time ago, Bo Xun saw his brother's name in the domestic media news.

Just won the first place in the qualifying round of the World Youth Championship, but fell from the uneven bars during training and suffered a comminuted fracture.

He hadn't contacted his mother for many years. After seeing the news, Bo Xun bravely dialed an unfamiliar yet familiar phone number.

In the end, I didn't get in touch with my mother, but I got in touch with my father. The father only said that Bo Yan's condition was not good, and he might not be able to be an athlete for the rest of his life. My mother was so angry that she didn't want to care about him. She planned to send Bo Yan to grandma when his fracture was healed. Grandpa is reading there.

Bo Xun remembered that his grandparents lived farther away than Hui Village, and there were no educational resources in the valley.

Only the villagers who ran out had never heard of those who went in, and even the supporting teachers were unwilling to go.

He gave up communicating with his parents and found a way to contact Bo Yan's coach.

Only then did I realize that since Bo Yan was injured, his mother had only seen him twice, and the teachers and coaches of the sports school cared for him and took turns to take care of him in the hospital.

Bo Xun forgot how to hang up the phone, only remembering the ignorance of his popularity.

When talking about this matter with Yu Jin, he originally thought that Yu Jin didn't want him to intervene.

Surprisingly, Yu Jin offered to take Yanyan out to study, and then find a homestay with a suitable atmosphere for Yanyan.

After eating at noon, Bo Xun refueled the off-road vehicle, took Xiong Xiong and Yu Jin with him, and left the forest for the airport.

"I was worried at first that you were unhappy because I had to take care of Bo Yan's affairs, so you originally planned to go back to China to settle him down and then come back. I didn't expect you to offer to take him over." Parked the car at the airport , Bo Xun unbuttoned his seat belt and heaved a sigh of relief.

"If something like this happened to my sibling, even if I have no relationship with him, I will definitely not let it go."

After finishing speaking, Yu Jin fell into a brief silence.

"As long as there is a living sibling, I can't ignore it."

Bo Xun paused, and just about to comfort him, Xiong Xiong poked out his furry head from the back row, and kept licking Yu Jin's hair, "Wow, woof!"

"Don't make trouble." The melancholy on Yu Jin's face disappeared instantly, pushing the raging dog's head.

When Bo Xun watched them fight, he noticed out of the window out of the corner of his eye, "Here it is, that seems to be Yanyan."

After finishing speaking, Bo Xun rolled down the window and shouted to the outside.

I saw a thin little boy walking toward them timidly pushing a suitcase. His walking posture was a bit strange, his spine seemed to be rammed, and he couldn't stand upright.

Bo Yan got into the car and sat in the back seat without saying a word.

Fiercely wanting to hug Bo Yan's palm.

Bo Yan didn't respond, but just stared blankly at the smart hair on the tip of the raging ears.

"Fasten your seat belt, Yanyan." Bo Xun reminded.

"How is the recovery from the fracture? I will make an appointment with the doctor tomorrow to see your condition first."

"En." Bo Yan responded.

"Hello, brother." After a while, Bo Yancai mechanically said hello, and sensed Yu Jin's presence again, "Hello, sister-in-law."

Yu Jin: ...

His hand that was about to take a drink for Bo Yan stopped.

"Sister-in-law hahahahahahaha, who told you?"

"I saw you on the news. I told my classmates that you were my brother, and my classmates said he was my sister-in-law."

Bo Xun was very happy.

Before the smug smile could be lifted, Yu Jin saw Yu Jin's cold pupils from the corner of his vision, and instantly suppressed his smile and coughed.

"Don't call him sister-in-law, just call him brother." Bo Xun was not good at explaining the relationship with the children, so he could only vaguely explain it.

Bo Yan nodded and didn't ask any more questions.

"About you coming here to find me, what did mom say? Didn't stop you?" Bo Xun asked again.

"She doesn't care about me anymore, she wishes I could leave sooner. She said she wants to have a younger sister... It seems that she has been going to the hospital for some care recently." Bo Yan's voice was very calm.

Bo Yan is about [-] or [-] years old this year, but his body is still like that of a primary school student.

She is thin and short, and her voice has not changed. She speaks like grandma.

"How did you fall during training? I heard from the coach that when I saw you on the bar, the axis was clearly correct, and I didn't pick you up because I didn't feel that I would fall. In the end..."

"I fell on purpose, I don't want to practice anymore, and I don't want to participate in any World Youth Championships."

Bo Xun: ...!

Yu Jin: ...!

The two looked at each other, shook their heads crazily, their faces became more ferocious than the other, neither of them dared to answer Bo Yan's words.

After a long silence, Yu Jin turned to look at Bo Yan.

He is good-looking, with gentle eyebrows and eyes. When he smiles, he feels softer than ordinary boys. "Then what do you want to do after you stop practicing gymnastics? Or, is there anything you want to do at this stage?"

Bo Yan was silent.

"Want to go to school? Or want to travel? Or is there someone you want to meet? Former friends or celebrities? Or is there anything in particular you want to buy? Like a game console or something?" Yu Jin continued to ask.

Bo Yan: "No."

Yu Jin:

"Then give you a small goal, okay?"

"During this period, try to keep happy every day as much as possible. If you are not happy, find things that make you happy, whether you buy things or play games. In short, you must keep happy. At the same time, you should see a doctor and cooperate with treatment. The spine is a very important part of the human body. The important part, you know?"

"If you don't like gymnastics, don't practice. It's not a big problem. Live a good life in the future. There will be many people who love you here, your brother and me, as well as the host family and school teachers you will meet in the future. Everyone is looking forward to it. Your arrival."

"En." Bo Yan's voice was still muffled.

After a long while, I realized it later, "Thank you."

During the meal, Bo Xun watched Bo Yan gobble up the plate, wanting to swallow the whole plate, and wanted to persuade him to eat less.

Suddenly, it occurred to him that many years ago in his hometown, Bo Yan controlled his weight and was only allowed to eat a few lettuce leaves.

I couldn't persuade him, so I could only help him break the food into small pieces as much as possible, so that he could eat more slowly.

Even in late summer, the days are still short and the nights are long, before six o'clock, the sky will be completely dark.

Back at the house in the city, Bo Xun helped Bo Yan carry his luggage upstairs and settled him down.

Xiong Xiong likes the new humans very much, and wants to live with Bo Yan, not even going for a walk at night.

Seeing that Bo Yan fell asleep, Bo Xun ran downstairs and sat on the sofa in the living room.

He can't sleep.

Seeing that Yu Jin was not drawing, he simply dragged Yu Jin out.

At this time, there are quite a lot of people in the square near my home.

There was probably some activity in the church, and the sound of the pipe organ kept coming.

And a lot of reckless and scary young people are playing skateboards and shooting short videos.

"I've realized how an elder brother is like a father," Bo Xun squatted on the ground, holding his head in his hands in pain, "Can he adapt to life here? I was 14 meters tall when I was 1.8 years old. How could he He's only a little skinny, and I'm probably stronger than him in the fourth and fifth grades of elementary school... Will he be unhappy all the time?"

Yu Jin bent down and rubbed Bo Xun's head, "Don't worry. With love and money at this age, he will gradually get better. I also told Yanyan about his situation when he contacted the school and family. The school deals with problem students. They have much more experience than us. There is a retired couple living there. They were teachers in the early years. Their two children are very good people, but they both left by accident. If you are willing to cooperate with us in education, letting Bo Yan follow them is better than boarding."

Bo Xun was still squatting on the ground, his pained face slightly relieved, "Indeed, we two grew up savagely, so we can't help much. It would be much better if we were educated by professionals."

When I was about to stand up, I suddenly felt that my legs had failed.

Move a little, and the bones are numb.

Bo Xun stretched out his hand, looked up at Yu Jin, and smiled beseechingly.

Yu Jin was helpless, but still cooperated with him and tugged Bo Xun.

Bo Xun got up naturally, and naturally lay on Yu Jin's shoulder.

Surrounding Yu Jin from behind, with his head buried in the hollow of his white and skinny neck, the two of them walked slowly on the square like conjoined twins.

"I'll teach you how to skateboard some other day, okay?" Bo Xun asked casually as he looked at the young man skating past at high speed.

"Do you still remember the time when you broke your bone in the u-shaped pool in your junior year?" Yu Jin didn't agree or refuse, but just asked rhetorically.

"Why don't you open which pot and lift which pot?"

"I don't want to learn to skateboard, exercise is exhausting." Yu Jin refused.

Bo Xun laughed, "Now you know you're tired from exercise? Why haven't you been tired before?"

"Isn't that brother always exercising diligently, and when I really let my brother exercise, my brother starts to cry and say he can't do it?" Yu Jin retorted.

"You—" Bo Xun couldn't quarrel with him.

Yu Jin took out his phone angrily.

Bo Xun lay on his shoulder, of course he could see the information on the screen.

When his slender fingers were about to point to an app, Bo Xun hurriedly stopped him, "No."

There are many people coming and going in the square.

Even if there is a shroud of night, the visibility is only low, which does not mean that no one sees them at all.

"I didn't say what I'm going to do?" Yu Jin laughed playfully, mixed in the night wind, indescribably provocative.

His fingers were still hovering over the phone screen.

Bo Xun panicked and reached out to try to snatch Yu Jin's phone.

Yu Jin has long wingspan, so he purposely held the phone far away so that he couldn't reach it.

Bo Xun quickly said, "Don't, don't, go home first, let you have enough fun when you go home."

Hearing this sentence, the corners of Yu Jin's lips suddenly became wanton, "Really?"

"Really." Just after finishing speaking, Bo Xun realized it.

Yu Jin just opened a screenshot of the main screen of the mobile phone, even if he clicked on it, it would only close the picture and not open any software.

He realized that he had been deceived and was just about to get angry.

Suddenly, a hand squeezed through the fingers.

Feeling the warmth of his palm, Bo Xun suddenly lost his temper, and just buried his head lower.

Yu Jin clasped his hand tightly.

"Then it's done, don't hide."
