Baby

But Tang Li's cold became more and more serious.

Especially when he ran out that evening and got a bit of night breeze, Tang Li had a high fever after returning, his nose was stuffy and tears flowed, and he almost passed out.

Tang Li was unwilling to take medicine, so Tang Daihe helped him take a bath with a hot towel to cool down, and fed him a big bowl of hot soup.As a result, Tang Li's body temperature was still as high as 39 degrees the next morning.

The couple immediately sent Tang Li to the hospital, where he was put on an IV for several hours.After returning home, he fed Tang Li a bowl of hot soup and put him to sleep again.

When Jiang Ye came home from school, he wanted to sneak into his brother's bedroom to see how his illness was going.After putting down his schoolbag, he gently opened the door, and Tang Li was sleeping quietly in that corner as usual.

Jiang Ye walked over on tiptoe, afraid of waking him up.Walking to Tang Li's bed, Jiang Ye hesitated for a while, then crouched shyly beside his younger brother's bed, lowered his head and murmured softly:

"I was a bit fierce yesterday, I didn't take your feelings into account, I'm sorry..."

"I don't have to ask you to take medicine, I'm just a little anxious."

"I hope you feel better soon..."

Tang Li closed his eyes, his little face was flushed, and he kept steaming from his mouth.

Tang Li's words yesterday still pierced Jiang Ye's heart like a knife. Although Jiang Ye understood Tang Li's unscrupulous words when he was emotional, he also knew that Tang Li hadn't learned how to put himself in another place.Jiang Ye would rather believe that Tang Li didn't know the meaning of those words.

Jiang Ye guarded Tang Li for a while, Tang Li fell into a deep sleep, and Jiang Ye quietly left.

Tang Daihe took Tang Li for three consecutive days of injections, and the cold finally got better.

But after that day, Tang Li and Jiang Ye never spoke again.

It's not that there is no chance. When eating together, before Jiang Ye went to class, and after school, before Tang Li went to get an injection, there was a 10-minute time difference... Jiang Ye took the initiative to talk to Tang Li several times, asking him how he was doing. Li never called him back.

At first, Jiang Ye only thought that he was being overwhelmed.But even after Tang Li recovered from his illness and returned to school, the two of them still didn't have a good word.Tang Li's whereabouts became unpredictable, and he spent a lot more time outside.Jiang Ye waited for him to go home with him several times, but he couldn't find him anywhere.Even when staying at home, Tang Li became silent.For several days, Tang Daihe walked the dog alone on a leash. Tang Li hadn't spoken to the puppy Goat for many days.

Jiang Ye remembered the scene of Tang Linu hurting the dog that day, and his heart still felt cold.Tang Li's anger towards him was transferred to everyone around him, even the puppy ignored him.The goat has been whining at the door of Tang Li's room for the past few days, but the door of Tang Li's room has never been opened.

I don't talk to anyone at home, and I don't have any friends at school...Jiang Ye doesn't understand why one of his unintentional actions would stir up such a huge wave in Tang Li's heart like a butterfly effect... This feeling is like Tang Li turned back to the withdrawn, indifferent, moody child.

Unlike the two brothers who could coax them back with a few pancakes, Jiang Ye understood that this time, something between the two brothers was broken.The darkness tore a small hole and spread like a tide.Tang Li's manic voice was still bombarding his eardrums, making his eardrums buzz: "Go to hell! I hate you! You bastard! Beast!" The immature voice still has the unique milky smell of a child , but said abusive words that were completely inconsistent with the child's age...

The soles of his feet were still aching, but what was even more uncomfortable was that Jiang Ye felt his heart turn cold all of a sudden.For such a long time, he tried his best to show his kindness to Tang Li, cared for him and accompanied him. During this time, they got along pretty well.At first, I thought Tang Li finally got a little better.But now it seems... It turns out that these efforts were all in vain.

Jiang Ye decided to have a good talk with his younger brother.

After school on Friday, Jiang Ye came to the park where his younger brother often went to walk the dog, and as expected, he found Tang Li beside the bench.This time, it was only him.

Jiang Ye plucked up his courage and stepped forward: "Hi..."

As expected, Tang Li didn't seem to see him, his eyes were fixed on his palm, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"I didn't consider your thoughts that day, I'm sorry..." Jiang Ye bit his lip and said, "I didn't mean anything."

Tang Li still didn't speak.

Jiang Ye lowered his head and kept figuring out the words in his mind, for fear that any sentence would not express his meaning well.But suddenly, Tang Li got up abruptly, and strode away from the park under Jiang Ye's stunned gaze.

Tang Li didn't even give him a chance to explain.

After Jiang Ye returned home, Tang Li's door was tightly closed.Jiang Ye suddenly felt helpless and irritated.

It's not that he didn't try hard, but this younger brother is really inaccessible!

Jiang Ye slammed the door of his room angrily, and Tang Dai He was so frightened that he knocked on the door and came in to ask what was going on.Jiang Ye said a few perfunctory words in the past, and then the three of them came out to have dinner together.This damned fate made fun of people, they went around and went back to the original point!

But at night, Jiang Ye suffered from insomnia again.

Jiang Ye thought about it over and over for a long time, but couldn't fall asleep.He thought, why Tang Li hates him so much, a few days ago they were able to go to school holding hands together, but now Tang Li doesn't even want to look at him more.After much deliberation, there was no answer, it just deepened the anxiety in my heart.

Perhaps Jiang Ye's absent-mindedness in the past few days was too obvious, which made Tang Daihe knock on his door lightly at night in worry: "Sleep yet? Jiang Ye."

"No, Mom. What's the matter?"

Tang Daihe closed the door gently, and looked at Jiang Ye with a smile: "Why are you still awake so late? Can't sleep?"

Jiang Ye turned his head and said nothing.

Tang Daihe only reached out and touched Jiang Ye's head. It was too easy to guess what his son was thinking, and she could understand it at a glance. "Are you thinking about your brother?"

Jiang Ye hummed vaguely and hugged the quilt tightly.

"Did you quarrel with him that day? He doesn't seem to be in a good mood these days."

"I..." Jiang Ye lowered his head, his depressed mood became more obvious, "I didn't mean to."

"I know." Tang Daihe smiled, "Tang Li, in my opinion, is like a little hedgehog who has suffered a lot of injuries. After finally beginning to trust others, he opened his soft belly to others, but was caught A person accidentally scratched it with his fingernail, and then he curled up again, and the thorns all over his body stood up."

"Mom... I don't know what to do."

Tang Daihe shook his head with a smile, and touched Jiang Ye's ears again, "Take your time, don't rush." ​​After speaking, Tang Daihe turned and leaned against the back of the bed, looking out the window, wondering what he was thinking.

After a long time, he opened his mouth slowly: "Actually, your brother has never felt safe in his heart, and that's why he always worries about gains and losses."

"What is worrying about gains and losses?"

"It is often afraid of getting, afraid of losing."

Jiang Ye thought about it carefully, and this was quite in line with Tang Li's appearance.

Tang Daihe smiled again as he spoke, and looked at Jiang Ye with gentle eyes: "Did you know? Jiang Ye, Mom feels that you have changed a lot since my younger brother came home."

Jiang Ye was taken aback: "Me? What has changed in me?"

"Mom sees that you are working hard to be a good brother." Tang Daihe smiled, "You used to be just an ordinary naughty kid who liked to act like a baby and occasionally lost his temper. But after my brother came home, you It started to change slowly. You became more tolerant, more mature, and more dependable. Jiang Ye, mom is very happy to see your changes."

Jiang Ye blushed a little, but Tang Daihe's words really woke him up.In the past, he always thought about problems from the perspective of a child, but now, he prefers to treat himself as a "little adult" to take care of his younger brother.

After Tang Daihe left, Jiang Ye lay alone on the bed thinking about it, and he suddenly figured it out.Maybe the younger brother just needs more love and a little time to grow up.He is an older brother, so he should understand his younger brother better and stand by his side to support him.

Jiang Ye sighed, the night was getting late, and sleepiness gradually surfaced.Suddenly there was a dog whimpering beside the bed.

Jiang Ye pulled up the quilt suspiciously, and the goat was gnawing at Jiang Ye's quilt horns with its teeth.Jiang Ye got out of bed and put on slippers, the goat bit his trousers again and dragged him to Tang Li's room.

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment, but the goat's strength was too great, Jiang Ye finally stood in front of Tang Li's bedroom door, the puppy goat was anxiously circling outside the door, and kept pushing its nose against the doorknob.

Jiang Ye felt that something was wrong with the goat, and his heart tightened, and he gently opened the doorknob—he was also stunned.

The lights in the room were off, but the windows were wide open.The moonlight fell on the bed sheet, covering Tang Li who was crying with his knees hugged in the corner.

Jiang Ye rarely saw Tang Li cry.Once at school, and once now.

Jiang Ye didn't seem to care about his crying brother at all. As soon as Tang Li's tears came out, his heart immediately softened.Jiang Ye stepped forward and squatted beside Tang Li's bed, trying to wipe his tears with his hands: "Don't cry, baby, it's okay..."

Who would have thought that Tang Li would crawl half a meter away from Jiang Ye as if he had suddenly woken up, quickly wiped away the teardrops on his sleeves with both hands, the expression on his face suddenly collapsed, and he looked at him vigilantly.

Jiang Ye suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. Has he started having nightmares recently?Every time you wake up from a nightmare, will you secretly hide and cry like this?

"It's okay, Tang Li, I have my brother here."

Jiang Ye coaxed softly, while opening his hands towards him, "Come and hug me, okay?"

Tang Li still clenched the bedsheets guardedly, his eyes were fixed on Jiang Ye, and his movements showed a little hostility.

Jiang Ye sighed, but got up gently, walked to Tang Li's side, stretched out his hand, and slowly hugged the child into his arms.

The child's body was very cold, carrying the chill of the night wind.Jiang Ye passed his warm temperature to him, hoping to slowly melt this solid defense.

Tang Li didn't seem to have expected Jiang Ye's move.The body suddenly wanted to step back, but was hugged even tighter.Tang Li struggled for a while, then also stayed in this warm embrace.

"I'm sorry, I will pay attention to it in the future, and I won't hurt you again." Jiang Ye's hoarse voice came from his chest, "Forgive me, please? Tang Li."

A simple hug quietly lights up the winter night.

Early the next morning, Jiang Ye put on a pair of panda eyes and finished his breakfast in a trance, but Tang Li didn't come out of the room for a long time.Tang Daihe looked at the clock and asked him tentatively: "Why don't you go to school first? I'll take him there by bike later..."

This time, Jiang Ye stubbornly shook his head: "I'll wait."

Ten minutes later, Tang Li opened the door and walked out, and the puppy happily ran out of the room to bite the food bowl.Tang Daihe was a little strange for a while: Did the goat enter the room and sleep with Tang Li yesterday?After Tang Li fell ill that time, the goat was also cold for several days.

Jiang Ye was standing at the door of the house waiting anxiously for Tang Li. Three minutes later, Tang Li stood beside him and began to change his shoes.

Jiang Ye glanced at Tang Li, and after he went out, he quickly followed him with big strides: "Mom, let's go first—"

Tang Daihe looked at the backs of the two leaving, as if he understood something, he nodded and smiled knowingly.

On the way, Jiang Ye walked to Tang Li's side in two or three steps, and tentatively stretched out his hand, wanting to hold Tang Li's hand.

Tang Li didn't refuse either.

Jiang Ye laughed immediately, passed by a pancake shop, and naturally bought a pancake for his younger brother: "You haven't eaten anything this morning, come on, eat it while it's hot."

Tang Li ate Jiang Ye's pancakes, and the two reconciled peacefully.

On Saturday, three people and one dog went out together to buy clothes for my younger brother.

Before going out, Tang Li combed the goat meticulously, and then put on a small vest.Guilt was hidden in Tang Li's eyes, and his small hands deliberately relaxed, stroking the soft fur of the goat gently.The goat hummed comfortably, and snuggled into the arms of the little master without any hesitation.Seeing such a scene, Jiang Ye curled his lips knowingly and smiled.

It's been a long time since Jiang Ye was standing next to Tang Li, Tang Li was leading the puppy, and Tang Daihe was walking slowly behind them.When passing by a dessert shop, Jiang Ye suddenly touched the pocket money in his pocket, then ran to the dessert shop and ordered a cup of double milk tea with red beans and pudding.This is his favorite drink, I wonder if Tang Li will like it.

Tang Li held the big cup of milk tea in his arms and chewed a few mouthfuls, staring at the cup of milk tea intently.Looks like I still like it.

The three of them went to the largest shopping street in the small town together. On the way, Tang Li kept playing with the dog without interest, and Tang Daihe asked Jiang Ye to help his younger brother choose some clothes.Jiang Ye looked at the dazzling array of clothing racks, ordered several warm and handsome big padded jackets, and then led Tang Li into the fitting room.

The puppy also hid in, wagging its tail curiously at the mirror.Jiang Ye helped Tang Li take off his coat, hung it on the wall, helped him put on new clothes, and carefully aligned and smoothed the collar.

"It looks okay," Jiang Ye was quite satisfied, "Is it warm?"

Tang Li nodded, and Jiang Ye pushed him in front of the mirror again: "Do you like this one?"

Tang Li didn't speak, but there was an inexplicable emotion in his eyes, but Jiang Ye knew that it was definitely not disgusting.

"Let's go, show mom."

I just bought several pieces in one go, so I don't have to worry about Tang Li running out of clothes this winter.Speaking of which, since Tang Li came home, it seems that he has never bought his own clothes.Most of the clothes he brought from his previous home were old and did not look good.I have been wearing Jiang Ye's small clothes.Taking him out to buy clothes today, Jiang Ye felt that Tang Li seemed to understand, and he was also happy.

On the way home, Jiang Ye bought another big cup of red bean pudding milk tea for Tang Li, and Tang Daihe reminded him: "You can't drink any more! Milk tea is too unhealthy, it's high in sugar, and it's easy to gain weight." Jiang Ye couldn't wait for his younger brother Get fatter, he is too thin, so thin that when he stretches out his arms, he can only hug a pile of bones.

Jiang Ye watched Tang Li quietly holding the milk tea and biting the straw, the more he watched, the more he felt that his younger brother was quite cute.

"In the future, if you feel cold, you should tell your brother immediately." Jiang Ye taught him patiently, "Wear thick clothes when you are cold, and thin clothes when you are hot. It is possible that you are sick, so you should tell brother immediately, instead of hiding in the room and crying silently, okay?"

Tang Li was silent for a long time, as if he was thinking about the meaning of these words.Finally, he nodded solemnly.

A bright smile appeared on Jiang Ye's face immediately.
