blowing clouds

For her husband's arbitrary behavior, Lu Yan was obviously angry. When Chen Xiyang returned home in starlight, she had already locked herself in the bedroom for a long time. Under the orange light bulb sat the slightly embarrassed Chen Li and the expressionless Lin Ji. .

"I'm back," Chen Li excitedly got up and waved as if seeing a savior, "I haven't eaten yet, sit down and eat."

The atmosphere in the narrow space is not very good, but the food is quite rich. The cold dishes are all meat, and the hot dishes can also be seen as brought back from the restaurant.

The two people of the same age who were seated didn't talk to each other, and they didn't even look at each other. Chen Lihan came out and said with a dry smile: "Use your chopsticks, let's chat while eating."

The two were still silent, they were very careful when eating, and tried their best not to make any movement. To be honest, they were more obedient than the most obedient inmate in Chen Li's prison.

"You..." Chen Li smiled wryly, and put down his chopsticks, "You guys are eating, let me say a few words. You should know each other, this is my son Chen Xiyang, the morning dew waiting for the sun, this is your Uncle Lin Lin Ji, the son of Lin Ji, who starts with the prefix rain, will be a member of our family from now on."

After swallowing the food in his mouth, Lin Ji paused to eat, and looked at Chen Xiyang silently, a bit obedient.

Chen Li pushed Chen Xiyang, who was still buried in his meal, and the latter raised his head slowly, facing those familiar eyes, he had no choice but to say, "Hello."

Lin Ji replied a greeting in a lower voice, then lowered her head and remained silent.

Even with mental preparation, the scene was still more embarrassing than Chen Li had imagined. It can only be said that his son is still young, otherwise he could have said a few words on the scene.In desperation, old general Chen had no choice but to go out in person: "Ah Ji, I will call you that in the future too... I and your father are best friends, so we have nothing to do with each other. This will be your home from now on. Request, just open your mouth and don't look outside, okay?"

Chen Xiyang is indeed immature, but he understands that the other party's words will go in the left ear and out the right ear, and Lin Ji's performance seems to be exactly like this, and the gesture of nodding is extremely perfunctory.

Afterwards, Chen Li chatted a few more gossips, Lin Ji's answer was always the most concise, he frequently cast his eyes on his son for help, but Chen Xiyang was always indifferent.

Those eyes have frequently flickered in Chen Xiyang's mind during this period of time, but seeing you again today seems to be missing something, especially when he thinks that he will live with these eyes under the same roof in the future, his heart filled with indifference seems to sprout A touch of resistance.

In this kind of atmosphere, no one's appetite can be whetted. When the three of them put down the bowls and chopsticks one after another, most of the plates were still full. Chen Xiyang also knew that it would be impolite for him to go directly into the room, but staying without saying a word would only make things worse. Embarrassed, he got up and left the table silently.Chen Li wanted to let the two of them get to know each other quickly, got up and said, "Ah Ji, you and your brother go to the house and have a look, you will live together in the future."

Chen Xiyang kept walking after hearing this, but Lin Ji didn't follow suit, but said softly, "Let me clean it up for you."

As soon as the words fell to the ground, he could not help Chen Li to put the leftovers back into the plastic bag.

"Oh, no, no, no... You are so good, kid." Chen Li sighed in relief, but unfortunately his son didn't turn his head back, so naturally he didn't see his brother's nimble hands and feet.

The temperature in the middle of the night is no longer like midsummer, but Chen Xiyang, who was lying back on the bed, still had fine beads of sweat on his forehead. He gently wiped it off, looking at the top of his head that seemed to be melting a filament.

His stomach was full, and he was in the most familiar, safest and most comfortable environment, but he didn't feel any drowsiness. Although his heart didn't fluctuate, it seemed that he was being affected by inaudible infrasound waves.

He didn't turn his gaze until his eyes were doubled, and Chen Li's smiling voice sounded just right outside the door: "You make do with it today, and tomorrow I'll take you to buy new clothes and toiletries, go, go to your room have a look……"

The bedroom door was pushed open, and Chen Li first glanced dissatisfiedly at Chen Xiyang, who was lying on the bed motionless, and then turned to Lin Ji with a smile on his face: "The place is not big, but the sparrow is small and complete, your brother often lives on campus, and the day after tomorrow will not Hot, you two deal with each other."

Lin Ji nodded obediently, with the taste of being under the fence, but his eyes couldn't help but glance at Chen Xiyang.

"I only found out recently that your brother loves to read." Chen Li smiled and patted the stack of books in the corner, "Read more when you have time."

Lin Ji continued to nod, while Chen Xiyang continued to remain silent.

After confessing a few more words, Chen Li closed the door and left, and the entire bedroom was instantly swallowed by dead silence.Chen Xiyang glanced sideways at the other party, didn't speak, picked up the novel on the bedside and continued to read, but Lin Ji was at a loss, with his back to Chen Xiyang, motionless, staring at a stain on the wall in a daze.

For Chen Xiyang, reading is the easiest way to kill time, but the sound of moths hitting the light bulb disturbed him, and the flickering shadows made him forget after reading, but he couldn't find it after putting down the book. The shadow of the moth is only Lin Ji's motionless back.

Chen Xiyang thought in his heart, is this kid a moth monster?

Lin Ji, who was playing with his fingers, suddenly heard Chen Xiyang's voice: "Wash your feet and go to sleep?"

"Ah..." Lin Ji suddenly turned around and nodded subconsciously, "Okay, okay."

Chen Xiyang was the first to go out with his slippers. The cool well water dispelled his irritability, so when he returned to the bedroom, he showed mercy and helped Lin Ji find a pair of old and broken slippers, which were several sizes too small.

Lie back on the warm bed, Chen Xiyang listened to Lin Ji dawdling outside for a long time, and then his father's voice sounded as he passed the living room: "It's okay, Ah Ji, go to sleep, I'll make do with it all night."

With a creak, the door was pushed open, and Lin Ji came in with wet feet.

Chen Xiyang closed his eyes and rolled to the corner, saying concisely: "Turn off the lights."

After a snap, the room fell into darkness, and then there was the movement of slippers rubbing against the ground, rustling like little mice.Chen Xiyang's eyes were tightly closed, but he seemed to be able to feel Lin Ji's condescending figure looking down at his back in the darkness, but this oppressive feeling soon disappeared, and the bed board creaked like complaining, Lin Ji lay down, Chen Xiyang felt a gust of hot wind blowing over his sweaty spine.

After his eyes gradually adapted to the darkness, Lin Ji had the courage to look sideways and saw Chen Xiyang's swollen shoulders.The bed was small, but the distance between them was very wide. It was obvious that the other party was almost sticking themselves against the wall.Lin Ji remained motionless, and so did Chen Xiyang, but they both knew that the other party was not asleep because neither of them made any breathing sounds.

Chen Xiyang opened his eyes. He has never slept with anyone since his father was imprisoned. At this moment, it is impossible for him to expose his back to someone who is almost a stranger. Sleep soundly.For some reason, he was suddenly sure that those dark eyes must be staring at him at this moment, but they shone brightly in the darkness, as if reflecting the stars in the sky.

Chen Xiyang knew that he was destined to suffer from insomnia tonight, but there was still some inexplicable difference between the insomnia at this time and what he had expected. The airless night seemed to be a steamer on fire, his forehead began to sweat, and the night market in the distance The men's chatter and laughter seemed to be magnified countless times, working hand in hand with the heat to drive away his poor drowsiness, his brain couldn't bear the agitation, and he began to think wildly.

Is Li Mochou's martial arts really better than Huang Yaoshi's daughter... I don't know if Mom has had dinner today... Don't forget to promise to bring mutton buns to Xu Donghai when I go to school tomorrow morning... Xu Donghai's eyes and Lin Ji They are very similar, but there is still a difference if you take a closer look today. Have the leeks in Lin Ji’s small courtyard grown taller these days?

Thinking of that sweaty afternoon, Chen Xiyang seemed to hear the sound of washing water splashing on the ground again, the rainbow foam was rolling back and forth, holding hands and being flattened by the water waves.He turned over without any warning, and sure enough, he met those eyes.

He wanted to talk, but didn't know what to say, and he could tell the other person was doing the same.

"...Brother," Lin Ji called out softly for the first time, "You think it's hot?"

At this moment, Chen Xiyang didn't seem to be hot anymore, but he couldn't help but hummed, and even added a superfluous sentence: "Hot."

Those bright eyes did not convey any emotion, Chen Xiyang only saw Lin Ji sitting up on the bed, then stretched his legs to search the ground for a while, stepped on the slippers and got off the bed.

Chen Xiyang suddenly discovered that even without arching his back, Lin Ji's spine was still very obvious.

The other party walked back and forth twice in the small bedroom like a nocturnal god, patter, clatter, this is the sound of slippers on the ground, and it is like some kind of percussion instrument.Lin Ji suddenly stopped and asked, "Is there a mat from before?"

Chen Xiyang's body seemed to be out of control, he sat up slowly, stretched out his arms and pointed to the roll mat behind the door: "There."

Even though the other party had made his movements very light, the sound of pattering was still continuous. In the end, Lin Ji successfully spread the old mat on the ground, and it didn't stop until he lay down on it. The night seemed to have the appearance of night.

The site was restored to its original state, but Chen Xiyang still leaned against the wall, as if he was afraid to look at Lin Ji again, and he slowly closed his eyes.

The drunken men in the night market seemed to have endless fun to talk about, and Chen Li, who was kicked out of the living room, also slept soundly, snoring rhythmically. .

Lin Ji's side was still very quiet, not even the sound of breathing, but Chen Xiyang, who began to toss and turn on the bed, thought of Xu Donghai again.

But this time it wasn't the buns or the eyes, but he really wanted to smoke a cigarette with Xu Donghai.Between swallowing clouds and mist, it seems that the sorrow in his bones has been wiped away.
