blowing clouds

The scene of thousands of people welcoming the millennium still seems like yesterday, but the time has come to [-].

It seems that everything is moving forward in the new year, parents turned their energy back to business, Lin Ji won a scholarship at school, Chen Xiyang's office equipment was updated to a computer, and a group of old scholars headed by Mr. Follow the young man to ask for advice humbly, and most importantly, the relationship between Chen Xiyang and Lin Ji is also jumping towards a more intense sweetness.

The first happy event of the year was the birth of Xu Donghai's daughter. Xu Donghai, who likes to wear a padded jacket, seemed to have matured overnight. When he hugged his daughter, there was a bit of grandparents' kindness in his eyebrows and eyes. Chen Xiyang promised him as before As he said, he took up the work at hand, after all, his own little life is also very interesting, Chen Xiyang feels that he can't feel tired.

The young people behaved well, and the old guys naturally gave their thumbs up one after another, but when they boasted, the topic naturally turned to finding a partner. Seeing the old seniors gearing up to find someone for him, Chen Xiyang quickly waved his hand and said that he was already a A piece of cow dung with flowers, but he refused to say who the flowers were, which became a big unsolved mystery of their publishing house.

Xu Donghai's daughter had a full moon, and he also returned to his post. However, the looseness of a married man that he hadn't shown before quietly showed up on him, and every day was very leisurely. Chen Xiyang had to feel that his brother-in-law was a A person who knows how to enjoy life, but in fact, he is also a man of fifty steps and a hundred steps of laughter. Recently, he has not put much more thought into his work than Xu Donghai.

Because Lin Ji's birthday was approaching, Chen Xiyang was thinking about what gift to give him every day, and his scalp was tortured.

"You two are old couples and still engage in this kind of formalism?" When Chen Xiyang turned to Xu Donghai for help again, this person did not show the wisdom of the last time, "It's all a trick to coax little girls, your family Will A Ji care about this?"

Chen Xiyang snorted: "I care."

The 22nd birthday, it seems that there is no need to specialize whether it is right or wrong, but they have just passed the test of their parents before, and Chen Xiyang always feels that they have to celebrate.

From the moment he came into contact with him until now, Lin Ji didn't seem to like anything in particular, except for his brother... Chen Xiyang was also a little smug while being distressed, or he would just learn those bad stories and use himself as a gift.

On the way home from get off work, a gust of evil wind suddenly blew up. The sun, who was standing on the last shift, was covered by clouds, as if it was dark, and the cool spring breeze was still wrapped in rain. Fortunately, Chen Xiyang was not very afraid of the cold, so he clicked After a cigarette, he continued to walk unhurriedly.

There is also a bit of pear blossom scent in the wind, I don't know where it came from, I think there must be "snow" everywhere here.Before Chen Xiyang sniffed carefully, there was a roar like a beast behind him. He was startled, and subconsciously turned sideways. A motorcycle spewed smoke and passed along the road beside him, curling his hair. Even the spring breeze is ashamed of the magnitude of the rise.

Chen Xiyang did not scold the national essence as in the past, but looked at the shadow of the motorcycle leaving gracefully, his eyes suddenly lit up.

Ah Ji can ride a motorcycle, isn't there a gift?Although the cheapest ones cost thousands of dollars, Chen Xiyang never spared his possessions in this matter.

With the answer to the problem that had troubled him for a long time, Chen Xiyang walked more briskly, and when he arrived at the gate of the family courtyard earlier than usual, he saw a surprise - Lin Ji came back from school and was standing by the big iron gate.

But soon, Chen Xiyang realized that Lin Ji was not waiting for him. He saw a middle-aged man who was completely unfamiliar standing in front of Lin Ji, and he didn't know what to say. Lin Ji's expression seemed to be resisted and displeased.

Lin Ji shook his head and was about to leave, but the man stepped forward and stretched out his hand to stop him, but before touching him, he put it down embarrassingly.

This not particularly unusual scene made Chen Xiyang's heart suspend suddenly, he stepped forward quickly, and pulled Lin Ji to protect him in front of him: "What are you doing?"

Lin Ji was out of his wits, and was startled when Chen Xiyang grabbed his wrist.

Although the pipeline is dim, Chen Xiyang can see the other person's face clearly at close range. It is very strange, but the strange thing is that the other person's eyes are full of guilt and self-blame. Under Chen Xiyang's gaze, he immediately lowered his head like dodging. .

"Brother, let's go." Lin Ji pulled Chen Xiyang, but for some reason, Chen Xiyang remained indifferent, staring intently at the strange man in front of him.

Finally, the man took a deep breath, as if he had made up his mind, and looked up at Chen Xiyang again: "Are you, Lin Ji's family?"

"What are you going to do?" Chen Xiyang didn't answer him, his face was ashen, as if he was going to kill someone.

From Chen Xiyang's attitude, and the hand pinching his wrist like pliers, Lin Ji guessed that his brother seemed to have thought of something.

An even weirder scene appeared, the man suddenly knelt down on the spot, but what he saw was Lin Ji behind Chen Xiyang: "I'm sorry, my father must let me find you before he died, and let me kowtow to admit his mistake... I'm sorry , This is the only sinful thing he has done in his life..."

Lin Ji pulled Chen Xiyang to go home, but the other party was indifferent, rooted in place like a telegraph pole.

Chen Xiyang's face was as cold as a ghost from hell, and his red eyes seemed to bleed at any time. This weird scene seemed to be connected with many seemingly unrelated scenes in the past, and he learned the truth.

The pain in his heart awakened Chen Xiyang's sanity, and he realized that Lin Ji had forcibly pulled him far away. The darkness seemed to engulf the strange man, but Chen Xiyang could still hear him kowtow.

No matter how light the rain was, his body was already wet after standing for so long. When Lin Ji dragged him into the house, Chen Xiyang felt uncomfortable all over.

Lin Ji was still flustered, there was no one in the house but he didn't say anything, in fact, Chen Xiyang could tell that Lin Ji was trying his best to control his emotions, but the more he did this, the more painful his heart was, he should really be at a loss and feel ashamed Yes, isn't he himself?

After helping Chen Xi take off his wet clothes, Lin Ji grabbed the quilt and covered him again, and when he was hesitating to leave temporarily, Chen Xiyang firmly restrained his wrist.

In the darkness, Lin Ji felt that Chen Xiyang was crying blood every word: "Is it what I imagined?"

"It's all over..."

Before he finished speaking, Lin Ji was hugged by Chen Xiyang who was struggling to get up from the bed. His brother had never used such a force when hugging him, which made him a little suffocated.

The next moment, Lin Ji felt Chen Xiyang's hot tears hitting the back of his neck.

After [-], Chen Xiyang had been stuck in nightmares, and Chen Li was imprisoned that year, but this was not the content of Chen Xiyang's nightmares, at best it was the cause of the nightmares.

After the police car roared away, Lu Yan, who was so weak from crying, failed to hold Chen Xiyang. Seeing him rushing all the way out of the house, where is he going?He didn't know it himself, he just ran forward recklessly like a mad dog, leaving behind his mother's shouts and the alleys full of onlookers, he wished he could throw the whole world away.

The young Chen Xiyang didn't know if he would not have a father in the future.

Tears and sweat blurred Chen Xiyang's eyes together, and he opened his mouth wide to cry and couldn't even keep up with his galloping footsteps. It wasn't until he leaned against the wall and fell down, sat up and sobbed for a while, that he remembered to look around and realized that he was coming. Arriving at a completely unfamiliar alley, the walls on both sides seemed to be higher than a prison. Even though he was young, Chen Xiyang could feel the palpitations brought about by that coldness.

The surroundings suddenly became quiet, only the sound of heavy footsteps approaching him could be clearly heard. Chen Xiyang raised his dirty face, he couldn't see the face of that huge body clearly, but he could feel the strong danger on the other side.

"Come here." It was an order that suppressed anger and more terrifying emotions.

Chen Xiyang got up and ran, but he was a step too late, and was grabbed by the collar by the man, and then he fell into a sweaty and greasy embrace.

He cried and kicked frantically, but even though the opponent was no longer in his prime, his strength was not something he, a 12-year-old child, could contend with, and the arms that bound him were like hard shells.He didn't know exactly what the other party was going to do, but he had a vague premonition, and a strong fear gripped his young heart. At this critical moment, the man who was pulling his pants suddenly snorted and moved aside. down.

A child who was about the same age as Chen Xiyang pushed the man hard behind him.

Taking advantage of the man stumbling to the ground, Chen Xiyang immediately broke free from his clutches and escaped, but the boy who saved him was not so lucky. The boy was embraced by the thumping man, crying out in fear.

Chen Xiyang took a few steps towards the distance with his weak legs, and there were heart-wrenching shouts and calls for help from behind, which forced him to stop. His neck seemed to be rusted and twisted very hard.

He saw the bloated body press the boy on the pile of debris, and saw the dirty hands reaching into the boy's clothes, but his throat seemed to be pinched, and his legs seemed to be poured He didn't dare to go up to rescue the boy, and he didn't even dare to call for help for him. Amid the interlaced cries, pleading for help and grinning, the cowardly Chen Xiyang turned his head and left, leaving everything behind like when he rushed out of the house. behind.

And those two cold high walls, which seemed to be thrown down by him, became his lingering nightmare for a long time to come, confining him in them, leaving him with no way to go to heaven or to go to earth.

Lin Ji said that they first met earlier than Chen Xiyang thought, and Chen Xiyang already knew who the boy was.

The boy who saved him, but was abandoned by his cowardice.

Chen Xiyang had never cried like this since he was an adult, he burst into tears, his heart was broken, at this moment he hated himself the most, he was never brave enough, how could he have the face to continue hugging Ah Ji?

"A Ji, I'm sorry..." Chen Xiyang's heart was about to break, he didn't dare to think about how scared his A Ji was the moment he ran away.

"Brother," Lin Ji stroked the back of his hand, which was about to lose consciousness, "it's all over, and at that time...he probably was afraid of making things worse, so he just hugged me, and there was no greater harm."

At this moment, this kind of comfort is like a drop in the bucket for Chen Xiyang, his throat is full of fishy sweetness, and his teeth are soft from being bitten, he can't forgive himself.

"elder brother!"

Lin Ji closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, he forcibly pulled his arms away, then turned his head and hugged him, and carefully wiped away his endless tears: "Those things are not important, at most they just prove our strength." The fate is deeper. Don't cry, brother, don't make me feel bad."

Chen Xiyang knew that few behaviors were more useless than crying, but he couldn't control his tear ducts at all, why was he such a bastard, why did he keep hurting A Ji?

He leaned against Lin Ji's shoulder, as if it was a crime to take a deep breath: "Ah Ji, why don't you hate me..."

Lin Ji raised his head and forced him to look at him: "I can't hate you because I love you."

"You..." The three most emotional words gave Chen Xiyang the courage to continue speaking, "Are you still having nightmares?"

Lin Ji shook his head.

"What we undertake alone is a nightmare, but what we face together should be a sweet dream."

Hearing these words, Chen Xiyang seemed to see the warm sun in the gloomy rainy night, his eyes were blurred, the figure of the devil, and the alley full of prey finally disappeared like bubbles.
