Baby

Tang Li originally didn't intend to go to this untenable agreement, but since Jiang Ye said so, he has always listened to his brother, so naturally he couldn't say no.

Then go check it out.

Sunday was a cloudy day, and the temperature was just right.Tang Li was wearing a thin coat and went out straight away with only some cash that Jiang Ye gave him.He arrived at the school gate on time, but found that Gan Cheng was already standing there, and he didn't know how long he had been waiting for him.

Gan Cheng is wearing a one-piece dress today, with his ponytail down and his long hair draped over his shoulders.Weird, she was never like that at school.Gan Cheng's expression was anxious at first, but after his eyes suddenly met with Tang Li's, the expression on his face seemed to clear up instantly.

Gan Cheng waved vigorously at Tang Li, with a shy expression for the first time: "Hey!"

Tang Li stopped, and Gan Cheng quickly ran towards him.Standing in front of Tang Li, Gan Cheng took a small breath, but his face was very happy.

"Come on, let's eat barbecue!"

Tang Li was silent for a while, then nodded: "Yes."

Tang Li didn't know where there was a restaurant where he could eat barbecue, so Gan Cheng dragged him around until he found a barbecue restaurant.Gan Cheng walked into the store skillfully, and yelled to the boss, "Sister, two people!"

The owner of the store is a young woman, she looked at the two of them with a smile: "Okay. Xiaocheng, are you here with your friends today?"

Gan Cheng nodded, and didn't say anything else. Instead, he sat quietly opposite Tang Li, lowered his head and fiddled with his fingers.

Tang Li felt that the class monitor was a little strange today. She used to be arrogant and bossy at school, and she was still talking non-stop.But today she... seems to be extraordinarily quiet.

Do not you know why.

The shop owner quickly delivered the skewers they ordered.Gan Cheng took a sip of water first, then wiped his mouth with a paper, then picked up the first meat skewer and put it in his mouth.Chew in small bites and swallow slowly.

Tang Li still had no appetite, so he had no intention of using chopsticks.My brother asked him to treat the squad leader to a barbecue, but he really just wanted to treat him to a meal, and he had no other intentions.

Tang Li just stared at Gan Cheng silently and slowly ate most of a plate of skewers by himself.In the middle of the meal, the expression on Gan Cheng's face gradually changed from nervousness to shyness, and finally to stiffness again.

"Tang Li," Gan Cheng finally couldn't hold back and put down his chopsticks, "Why don't you eat?"

"I ate and went out."

"……Oh."

The girl looked very disappointed, which made Tang Li even more confused.

After eating the skewers, Tang Li was planning to go home, but Gan Cheng suddenly said that he wanted him to go for a walk with him to digest food.Tang Li was actually reluctant to stay with this unreasonable squad leader, but Gan Cheng looked at him with serious eyes, as if he was deliberately making fun of him.

Tang Li hesitated for a while: "Where are you going?"

Gan Cheng seemed relieved: "Just walk around!"

The two of them took a casual walk on the side of the street, walking around aimlessly.The atmosphere was somewhat stalemate, and no one took the initiative to speak to break the silence.

In fact, the two of them didn't have much in common at first, so there were naturally very few topics they could talk about.Coupled with Tang Li's natural psychological defense against unfamiliar people, the walk between the two of them was even more embarrassing.

They passed a small park on the way, and Gan Cheng found a bench to sit on and rest for a while.She probably felt a little uncomfortable too, she pursed her lips in a daze, wondering what she was thinking.Tang Li stood beside her, also silent without saying a word.

Finally, Gan Cheng couldn't help but speak first.

"Tang Li!"

Tang Li looked at her sideways.

"I, I've fallen in love with you—" Gan Cheng blushed, bit his lip and trembled, "Hey, you can be my boyfriend!"

When Tang Li opened the door of his house, he found that the light was on in his bedroom, and it was Jiang Ye who was reviewing his homework.He quickly changed his shoes and trotted over: "...Brother? Didn't you already leave in the morning?"

Hearing the movement, Jiang Ye turned around and met Tang Li's eyes. He raised the corner of his mouth and smiled expectantly: "I forgot to bring homework back, so I went home to pick it up. By the way...wait for you when you come back."

"Wait for me to come back?" Tang Li blushed, "Why?"

Jiang Ye smirked: "Did you forget? Didn't you go out to find your monitor at noon today?"

Tang Li's expression gradually froze.He was silent for a while, then turned his back suddenly.

Jiang Ye was even more curious when he saw his reaction. Could it be that the development is not going well?He wanted to know about his younger brother's "emotional life situation", so he kept asking questions.

After all, this was the first time Tang Li was shown favor by a little girl.

Jiang Ye asked so tightly, Tang Li hesitated for a long time before briefly explaining what happened to his brother.But what he said was not the full version, and the small episode at the end was cut out.

"Really?" After listening, Jiang Ye sighed in disappointment, and confirmed it again to Tang Li as if he didn't believe it, "Did you go home after eating the skewers together?"

"……Um."

It's better to say "going home" than "fleeing away".

Jiang Ye sighed, as if a little lost: "So I misunderstood? Maybe that monitor of yours just wanted to play tricks on you."

"Brother," Tang Li felt a little regretful when he heard his tone, and suddenly a very complicated feeling surged up in his heart, "Do you think this is wrong?"

Jiang Ye smiled, "No. I just feel a little... pity? I thought I could witness your first major event in life."

In fact, in another sense, he did witness.

After the family had dinner together, Jiang Ye went back to school by car.Tang Li was lying on the bed alone, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.He fell asleep easily at first, but today he had something hidden in his heart, and he also suffered from insomnia.

The night is very quiet, so quiet that people can sort out their chaotic thoughts and sort out the mess.Tang Li thought about it a lot. He thought of the girl who didn't look like Gan Cheng today, and then thought of Jiang Ye's previous girlfriend, the girl he called "Sister".Finally, he thought of himself.

It seems that since childhood, creatures like "girls" have been a bad concept for him.He has a mother who is not qualified, and has been bullied by girls a lot, and even beat them up.During the period of his brother's "puppy love", he also seemed to have inexplicable repulsion and hostility towards that "sister" in his heart...

He never thought that one day he would receive a "confession" from a girl.

Tang Li gradually fell into memories.Next to the park bench in the afternoon, when Gan Cheng blushed and said that sentence to him, Tang Li's first reaction was: "Why?"

During this period of time, Gan Cheng was always targeting Tang Li intentionally or unintentionally, making him think that he was hated by the monitor.Although Tang Li never cared whether others liked or disliked him, he never thought that the squad leader would have such a strange feeling towards him.

"Because of your face..." Gan Cheng, who was looking directly at Tang Li's cheek, turned his head quickly after meeting his gaze, as if a little embarrassed, "Also, because I— —It feels like you're special..."

Because of the face?Tang Li immediately touched his face, but the eyes, nose and mouth were no different from ordinary people's.Tang Li didn't speak, but looked at Gan Cheng who lowered his head.The more he looked at her, the more strange he felt in his heart.

So much so that at the end, when Gan Cheng raised his head again to urge him to reply, Tang Li was confused for a moment, and simply turned around and left.He walked faster and faster, regardless of the loud voices of the girl behind him to keep him, and in the end it became a wild run.

He returned home like this, his heart beating wildly in panic.He felt strange about the feeling that was spreading in his chest, what was it?what happened to him?

But the moment he saw his brother, all his emotions seemed to subside in an instant.All questions seemed to be answered.

Why did I have such a conflict in my heart when Gan Cheng confessed his love?Why has he never looked at the girl seriously for so long, but his heart is filled with his brother.

Will it be so?It turns out...he actually thought so.

He vaguely had an answer.

For the first time, the distant concept of "boys who like boys" officially broke into Tang Li's head.

When Jiang Ye was his age, he also had a relationship that was neither short nor long.It's just that Tang Li was too young at that time to understand such feelings.Now that Tang Li has grown up, he suddenly understands what his brother was thinking at that time.

It turned out that this is love.
