blowing clouds

Strange things always happened one after another. Chen Xiyang not only left the door open for Lin Ji, but even asked him a question when he walked in full of surprise.

"Ah?" Lin Ji didn't hear his brother's words clearly at all.

Strange things continued to happen, but Chen Xiyang still didn't show his face. He glanced at him and asked again: "Why did you play truant today?"

Chen Xiyang's tone didn't show favoritism, but Lin Ji, who had just picked up the book again, still understood the point of this sentence, it wasn't playing truant, but today.

Is there anything different today?

After murmuring for a long time, Lin Ji finally came up with a reason that even a fool couldn't fool: "I miss, I'm homesick, come back and have a look..."

"What's so interesting about this ruined house?" Chen Xiyang expressed his disbelief expressionlessly. If he hadn't taken the initiative to keep the door open just now, Lin Ji would have doubted whether he was interrogating himself.

After not getting a response for a long time, Chen Xiyang looked sideways and saw Lin Ji tilting his head, as if he planned to spend forever with him like this.

It's not that Lin Ji doesn't want to tell the truth, it's just that he doesn't understand his own thoughts.The dormitory life at school made him feel cold and strange, but a week has passed, why can't he restrain his homesickness today?He couldn't tell the reason, but he just didn't want to miss the rare opportunity to sleep in the same bed with Chen Xiyang.

But it seemed that he was self-defeating, his nominal brother didn't really like him at all, after such a incident, he might be more alienated from him in the future.Lin Ji twisted his fingers silently, if he hadn't been thinking about the fact that his brother had kept the door for him, he might have burst into tears.

"Go and turn off the lights." Chen Xiyang, who got no answer, lay flat and got into bed.

Lin Ji obeyed, and then his mood became as gloomy as the surrounding environment.

Lying back in the most familiar and safest place, Lin Ji couldn't sleep, and he and Chen Xiyang behaved like brothers in the first half of the night. Just when he thought that this matter needed to be redeemed by "making up", Chen Xiyang beside him opened his mouth abruptly. up.

"Whether you come back or not, this family will not change, and there will be no one missing, so...don't bother your parents."

"Brother..." Lin Ji turned over and looked over. In the darkness, he could only see the back of Chen Xiyang's blurred head, but maybe the phrase "Parents" implied other meanings, but this picture didn't give him much sense of separation.

"What's more," Chen Xiyang continued after a pause, "Go to school hard, study is not bad for you or me."

Lin Ji didn't know if Chen Xiyang meant something, but no matter what the answer was, it seemed that his behavior of playing truant suddenly became more beneficial than harmful.

This feeling encouraged Lin Ji, and he boldly asked, "Brother, can I read what you wrote again?"

Chen Xiyang ignored him, but it seemed that this was normal, Lin Ji smiled silently, and when he closed his eyes again, the drowsiness of running away from home finally disappeared.

After breakfast the next day, Chen Li took Lin Ji to the school to ask the teacher to plead guilty, but seeing him shaking his head and humming the opera when he left, it seemed like he was out for a walk for fun.The surrounding air became quiet again. After smoking a cigarette, Chen Xiyang leaned against the window and flipped through a novel. A gust of wind blew past his ears. He grabbed a handful and felt that it was time for him to cut his hair.

"It's time for you to cut your hair. What do you look like? No matter how individual you are, you can't have long hair on your head, right?"

After arriving at the school, Xu Donghai commented on him and expressed his opinion: "Why don't you go to the school gate to get a haircut before self-study? I happened to get acquainted with their boss, and he said that he would give me a haircut, which is cheaper for you."

It may be that I was too unreasonable in the incident of watching the film last time. Up to now, Xu Donghai still treats Chen Xiyang with a kind of overture to his girlfriend. Fu Shou's parents, we will discuss this matter later."

"You are such a good son."

The sneering Xu Donghai was stared at by him, and his expression immediately returned to seriousness. After pretending to cough a few times, he really said something serious: "Brother, will you come with me when you leave school this week?"

"What are you doing, going to your house to vomit again?" Chen Xiyang looked back at him with disgust.

"This time I'll let you vomit in a different way," Xu Donghai chuckled, "It's my birthday, so I'll book a restaurant, and the people in our dormitory will go eat and drink together."

Chen Xiyang frowned subconsciously: "It's too sudden, I don't have time to give you a serious gift, maybe write a doggerel and get rid of it."

Xu Donghai said sternly: "No, I don't even need to write poems! I'm so annoyed by giving gifts, let alone a little girl, what a shitty gift. Start with me, from now on none of us will be able to celebrate birthdays." Accept the gift, save everyone embarrassment, just eat and drink well."

Chen Xiyang smiled, but felt a burst of relief in his heart, Xu Donghai is just like this, he is carefree but carefree, his family is rich but he always takes care of other people's moods, and this is the only person who can make a room full of bored gourds a little bit more alive .

And this person also showed his unflattering character at the right time. He raised his eyebrows and looked at Chen Xiyang in a serious manner: "Hey, when the time comes, I will take your sister-in-law. You take the lead and save me some face."

Chen Xiyang snorted: "I'm just a cheap brother, without a brother, where's my sister-in-law?"

"Good brother, don't make trouble!" Xu Donghai was in a hurry, "Let's help each other, and when your birthday comes, I'll give you face too! Hey, when is your birthday?"

"Then you don't have a chance to give it to me. I was born at the end of the year, and I usually spend it with the year..." Chen Xiyang was absent-minded when he answered, because he suddenly thought that he still didn't know when Lin Ji's birthday was.

But before he figured it out, the weekend dinner would not be able to escape. Although in theory the dinner table should be full of birthday stars, but the people studying literature at the table struggled to speak normally, and they were even more difficult for Xu Donghai than persuading him to drink. up.And the most unlucky one among them is Chen Xiyang, who is the best friend of the birthday star. If the wine he drank was the face given, then the little girlfriend brought by Xu Donghai will have more embarrassment in his pocket when he leaves.

The only woman on the wine table was pretty and small, with the same cheerful personality as Xu Donghai, but the others were submissive and dared not even say a word, and Chen Xiyang couldn't even remember her name and appearance after being soaked in alcohol up.

Recalling when I first met Xu Donghai until now, Chen Xiyang has learned to smoke, to drink, and to jump into it like a pedantic pedant, grabbing some details in the book that he doesn't know is true or not, and he thinks he is elegant and elegant, as if he is all finished. , but having said that, these are also ways to gain joy.

Especially after the family is complete, Chen Xiyang can obviously feel that he is distanced from the nightmares of the past, and those hobbies have made him more like a normal person.

When the world is spinning, the picture in front of me flickers and jumps again and again. The last second is the picture of Xu Donghai and his girlfriend kissing after drinking, and the next second there is a street dancing with them, everyone, every double image They danced as if they had drunk too much, even the gloomy alley was twisted and fleeting, and then Chen Xiyang saw Lin Ji who was close at hand.

Lin Ji wiped off the filth on Chen Xiyang's body with a towel, then helped him up with a bewildered face, picked up a water bowl and carefully fed him, and patted his back with one hand to prevent him from choking in advance.

Lu Yan stood at the door of the bedroom and looked back and forth, her face full of anxiety: "What do you think this kid is doing drinking so much alcohol! I'm so worried!"

Chen Li looked like an old god: "This is what a boy of this age should do. Interpersonal communication is just like that."

"It's just you who are so unreasonable every day!" After glancing at her husband angrily, Lu Yan turned to sigh, "It's because A Ji is here and it's not your turn to serve him, otherwise it depends on whether you will praise him or not!"

Lin Ji, who was praised, looked concerned at this moment, and after feeding Chen Xiyang water, he quickly helped him lie down, and just after covering him with the quilt, he heard him yelling vaguely: "You...why are you back again? Playing truant again is... um?"

Lin Ji didn't know if this drunk could understand, but he explained patiently: "I didn't. I did well this week, and the teacher rewarded me to go home and spend the weekend normally."

Chen Xiyang hummed for a moment, then laughed a few times inexplicably: "Not bad, not bad..."

Seeing Chen Xiyang squinting his eyes and laughing, Lin Ji, who was sweating from exhaustion, suddenly felt that his drunk brother was pretty good, at least he would smile happily, but he didn't know if the smile was for him.

In fact, the smile was really for him. Chen Xiyang calmed down after drinking water. He knew that he was lying on the bed at home, and that Lin Ji helped clean himself up. Alcohol made him no longer hide his true emotions, nor did he No more miserly smiles.He thought, after Xu Donghai drank too much, he probably had a girlfriend to help take care of him, and he had a younger brother, so he didn't feel wronged.

"Brother, go to sleep..." Although he was reluctant to leave, Lin Ji felt that staying here might affect Chen Xiyang's rest, so he slowly got up and planned to leave.

But at this moment, Chen Xiyang suddenly reached out and grabbed his wrist, even worried that he would run away, so he pulled on him with all his strength, and the delicate skin on the back of Lin Ji emotionally felt Chen Xiyang's chaotic heavy breathing.

"Brother?" Lin Ji was taken aback when he came back slowly, but he didn't intend to withdraw his hand. Instead, he leaned forward slightly, and the smell of wine and Chen Xiyang spread again in his nostrils.

I don't know if it's the former or the latter, but it also made him feel like a little drunk.

"Go and tell your parents not to worry, haha, I'll be fine after a while..." Chen Xiyang closed his eyes and smiled like a urchin.

Lin Ji nodded quickly, and then realized that the other party couldn't see, so he hummed again.

Chen Xiyang let him go, as if he hadn't come out of the state of facing Xu Donghai, he patted Lin Ji's arm indiscriminately and said, "Go, good boy..."

Chen Li and Lu Yan saw Lin Ji who was wiping away his sweat after coming out of the bedroom, and stumbled and repeated Chen Xiyang's explanation, as if he drank more than him.

Lu Yan sighed: "This child... A Ji, you are also tired, go to my bedroom and rest for a while, don't set up a stall with your uncle today."

Normally, Lin Ji would definitely shake his head and refuse, but now his thoughts were lost, he nodded indiscriminately, and trotted to lock himself up.
