Baby

After returning from this trip, the obvious change is that the relationship between Tang Li and Li Ruxue is much closer.

Li Ruxue invited Tang Li to her house to play, Tang Li will not shirk anymore.Tang Li also accepted all the gifts that were given to him.Sometimes I would buy some return gifts for Li Ruxue.

After all, they are relatives related by blood. Tang Li was taken by Li Ruxue for a while when he was a child, and the precious family relationship between the two is still inseparable.After getting close to his aunt, the smiles on Tang Li's face gradually increased.Tang Daihe and Jiang Shaohui were also sincerely happy for Tang Li.

But Jiang Ye felt a little unbalanced in his heart.

It's not that he doesn't like a relative of Tang Liduo, it's just that Li Ruxue always gave him a weird impression.But Jiang Ye couldn't tell what was strange, everything seemed reasonable.

So seeing Tang Li's happy appearance, he couldn't say anything disappointing.

As the weather warmed up, Tang Li would occasionally stay at his aunt's house for a while, and then bring home some gifts that Li Ruxue gave to Tang Daihe and Jiang Shaohui.Over time, Tang Daihe and Jiang Shaohui got used to running on both sides of Tang Li, thinking that Tang Li now had an extra family.

But in fact, Li Ruxue's residence is quite close to Jiang Ye's school, and she can get there by bicycle.After discovering this, Tang Li started running to Jiang Ye's school every now and then during weekends.Riding a bicycle and leading a puppy running happily.One person and one dog happily found Jiang Ye, and then had lunch with his brother, drank two cups of hot milk tea, and then rode his bicycle home alone with the dog.

This Saturday, Tang Li came to find Jiang Ye on his bicycle, still refreshed.On Saturday, when the school released travel restrictions, Jiang Ye took Tang Li to a restaurant next to the school, and simply ordered three dishes, all of which were their favorites.

Seeing Tang Li eating seriously with his rice bowl, Jiang Ye couldn't help smiling and handed him a piece of paper: "Is it delicious?"

Tang Li nodded, and Jiang Ye saw that he was sweating profusely, and the bicycle at home was still parked in front of the shop.Jiang Ye sighed, and said, "You keep running back and forth like this, so be careful on the road."

Tang Li pulled the corner of his mouth and smiled at him, with a piece of rice hanging on his lips: "Brother, are you going to take an exam recently?" After speaking, he reached out and handed a meaty bone to the goat under the table .

"Huh?" Seeing the goat gnawing on the bone with relish, Jiang Ye was a little dazed, "Is it? There is a mock exam, which is very important. How do you know?"

Tang Li blinked: "I just heard what your teacher said at the door of the classroom after class."

"Oh," Jiang Ye returned to his senses, "That's what I said..."

"Brother, do your best for the exam." Tang Li looked at him seriously, "Auntie said to find a free day for an outing. After you finish the exam, let's go together."

"Um, okay."

Tang Li got on his bicycle and set off home with the puppy.Jiang Ye watched the backs of a person and a dog gradually go away, and then returned to the classroom with complicated emotions.

The temperature is gradually rising, and the freshness of late spring gradually fades into the intensity of early summer.Jiang Ye also felt more and more clearly that the college entrance examination was approaching, and the first national mock exam was just around the corner.In order to wait for a perfect performance in an exam, all the competitors are rubbing their hands and preparing.For a moment, unprecedented pressure imperceptibly pressed on Jiang Ye's body.

But Jiang Ye always felt a little unspeakable irritability.During evening self-study, I actually get distracted by thinking about tedious little things.Sometimes he thinks about his future and imagines what kind of school he will be in in the future.Then he thought of Tang Li, wondering if they would get married and have children together in the future... In the end, he always thought of Li Ruxue.For some reason, Aunt Li always gave him a sense of anxiety.This kind of paranoid intuition makes people confused, but it is always hanging on people's hearts.

So bad luck came one after another.

Maybe life will not always be smooth sailing, and the examination room is of course no exception.During the one-model exam, Jiang Ye made a serious mistake for the first time.Comprehensive Waterloo, with a total score of 583, the school's overall ranking fell below [-] in an instant.

The moment Jiang Ye found out the results, 80.00% of Jiang Ye's mentality immediately collapsed.

Jiang Ye took a week off, locked himself in the door and didn't go anywhere, just stared at a table of test papers in a daze, and lost his appetite for food.

Tang Daihe was so distressed that many times he brought food and stood in front of Jiang Ye's door, wanting to knock on the door and chat with him, but worried that Jiang Ye would be even more troubled if he said the wrong thing.Now is Jiang Ye's low period, just like everyone will experience, the time to really test him has come.

When Jiang Ye was alone in the room, the air was very quiet.The test results were a mess, and he began to calmly reflect on what caused this failure?

Is he distracted in class?Or was he inattentive during the exam and made too many mistakes?

After all the calculations, Jiang Ye felt that maybe he was a little distracted during this time.

Li Ruxue's arrival was an accident, and the change of Tang Li getting closer to his aunt was also an accident for Jiang Ye.

So he was a little lost.

In fact, Tang Li is a very simple child. Although he is very defensive, he still clearly sees who treats him well.Although Jiang Ye had put in a lot of effort to melt his defenses, Tang Li after removing his defenses was as cute as a puddle of strawberry jellybeans.Now finally there was a fourth person who was willing to take the initiative to melt his defenses. Jiang Ye should have been happy.Jiang Ye began to reflect on himself, maybe he was a little possessive?

In any case, for him now, the college entrance examination is the first priority.Maybe... I should let go of my brother and stop looking for troubles on my own.

Jiang Ye is slowly adjusting his mentality in his own way, and his family is silently supporting him behind his back.Jiang Ye said he wanted to be alone for a while, Tang Daihe and Jiang Shaohui cooperated not to disturb him, and just put the food at the door.Jiang Ye said he wanted the school's notebook, so Jiang Shaohui drove to the school and packed up all his books and brought them home.

Tang Daihe knew that Jiang Ye was irritable these days, so he was careful not to step on his minefield, and followed his rhythm.Even the puppy goat seemed to feel the sadness of its owner, and quietly nestled in front of Jiang Ye's closed door to accompany him.Baba drooping his ears, he rubbed his nose against the crack of the door carefully, but didn't make a sound.

When Tang Li came back from his aunt's house that day, Jiang Ye was confining himself, while Tang Daihe was quietly preparing dinner.

Tang Li recognized the pair of shoes at the door, and asked Tang Daihe: "Mom, brother, is he back?"

Tang Daihe nodded, pulled Tang Li aside, and reminded him in a low voice: "Brother didn't do well in the mock exam this time, and he is in a bad mood now, so try not to disturb him. But don't worry too much, trust him It can be adjusted by itself."

Tang Li blinked and agreed.After I changed my shoes, I called the goat and went downstairs to walk the dog.

When going to bed at night, Tang Li opened the door and found that his brother had fallen asleep with his eyes closed.He climbed onto the bed carefully, and just as he covered the quilt, a voice suddenly came from the lower bunk: "Tang Li."

"Ah?" Tang Li was stunned for a moment, "Brother..."

Jiang Ye got up from the bed, "Hey" climbed onto Tang Li's bed, then lifted the quilt and got in.

Tang Li was a little nervous, he still remembered Tang Daihe's words.Jiang Ye habitually held his hands in his arms to warm them up, and the two paws of the little radish head were cool, "Why are your hands still so cold?"

"I just washed my hands."

Jiang Ye was silent for a while, thinking about how to word it.But Tang Li hesitated first and said, "Brother, have you been troubled recently?"

Jiang Ye pursed his lips, and sighed vaguely: "...um."

"Are you sad?"

"A little bit."

Neither of the brothers spoke until Tang Li's palm became warm, and then Jiang Ye let go.

"Tang Li, I... want to discuss something with you."

Tang Li became a little nervous.

"There are still a few months left... This is my critical period, and I should concentrate on doing big things." Jiang Ye smiled, and then pointed out his little finger to Tang Li, "Tang Li, can we make an agreement now? During these days, you have to take good care of yourself, handle the relationship with your aunt at home, study hard at school, and get along with your classmates. As for me, I will seriously prepare for the exam and try to get into the ideal school."

Tang Li stared into Jiang Ye's eyes, pondered for a while, then nodded, stretched out his little finger and hooked it with Jiang Ye's, and finally stamped another chapter with his two thumbs.

"Okay," Tang Li also said seriously, "Brother, come on for the exam!"

Jiang Ye smiled, reached out to touch Tang Li's head, turned around and went to sleep.Tang Li looked at the back of his brother's head, his little face was warm.

Tang Li never doubted his brother's strength, and Jiang Ye had always been his pride.If he failed the exam this time, my brother must have been under a lot of pressure.If he could do something to help his elder brother, Tang Li would definitely be very willing.
