heavy evening light

After passing the muddy road, Xi Nan no longer leaned on Xiang Wanguang's back, but jumped off and walked by himself.Not long after, the two arrived at Xiang Wanguang's house.

Xi Nan stood in the open space in front of Xiang Wanguang's house, staring at Xiang Wanguang's house.

Before coming here, Xi Nan had made psychological preparations. On the way here, he also imagined what Xiang Wanguang's house would look like, and was afraid that he would show an inappropriate expression when he arrived.However, when he really arrived at Xiang Wanguang's house, everything he did before was in vain and had no effect at all.

Xiang Wanguang turned his head and didn't speak, just stared at Xi Nan, not missing the slightest expression on his face.

"Aren't you going in?" Xi Nan turned his head to meet Xiang Wanguang's gaze, and smiled, "I still want to meet my uncle and aunt sooner."

Xiang Wanguang still didn't speak, his eyes fell on Xi Nan and he didn't move away, as if he wanted to see through Xi Nan.And Xi Nan, being looked at by Xiang Wanguang like this, did not avoid his gaze, and looked at Xiang Wanguang with a smile.

I don't know how long it took, Xiang Wanguang was defeated first, couldn't help lowering his head, and laughed softly.He thought of what Jiang Yueyue had said to him when he knew he was going to take Xi Nan home.

At that time, there were only the two of them in the milk tea shop. Jiang Yueyue went to the door to hang up a sign that the business was closed, then picked a seat at random, and said that he had something to talk to him about.

Xiang Wanguang knew what Jiang Yueyue was going to say, so he didn't hesitate when he heard that, and sat down in front of Jiang Yueyue, waiting for her to speak.

Jiang Yueyue was not tactful. After Xiang Wanguang sat down, she said directly, "I thought you wouldn't be so impulsive."

Xiang Wanguang smiled and didn't answer his words.

Seeing this, Jiang Yueyue also raised her lips and smiled, her eyes were full of maturity and vicissitudes that did not match her age, and she did not look like a girl in her teens at all.

"It's too early." Jiang Yueyue commented, and added, "You've only been together for a long time, and you bring him home."

"I know." Xiang Wanguang answered.

Jiang Yueliang was slightly surprised, and asked back, "Then you still do this?"

"We are in a relationship, I should tell him about my situation." Xiang Wanguang smiled, his eyes became gentle, and explained, "Compared to what he can only hear from others or guess by himself, it's better than me Confess to him yourself."

Jiang Yueyue lowered her eyes, she didn't know what she thought of, her expression suddenly became sad, and when Xiang Wanguang saw Jiang Yueyue like this, he hesitated to speak a few times, but he didn't say anything, and chose to remain silent.

"You are good." Jiang Yueyue suppressed the sadness just now, and laughed again.

"There is no doubt that Xi Nan is the young master of a rich family, and we don't know how good his family is." Jiang Yue said, "But what is certain is that the gap between you and him can be compared with the world of difference." to describe."

"When Xi Nan returns home with you," Jiang Yueyue's smile faded, she looked straight into Wan Guang's eyes, and asked almost forcefully, "Then won't you feel inferior in front of him then?"

Xiang Wanguang's hand, which was tapping on the table, paused, as if being poked at the needle in the center.Jiang Yueyue didn't look away, but kept staring at Xiang Wanguang, expecting his reaction.

Jiang Yueliang thought that her question would cause Xiang Wanguang to lose his composure for a moment, or make him be at a loss and unable to answer at all.

However, to Jiang Yueyue's surprise, Xiang Wanguang only paused for a few seconds, and then returned to his usual smile without any embarrassment.

"Why should I feel inferior?" Xiang Wanguang said slowly with a smile on his lips, "We are the ones in love, and there is not much difference between Xi Nan and I."

"Leaving aside those things that don't belong to us, from the perspective of himself, he is not a rich boy, and I am not a poor boy." Xiang Wanguang said, "He is just a sophomore in high school, and the most important thing is what happens one year later. The college entrance examination, and I am a part-time worker in the milk tea, the most important thing is what to do in a year."

"Sister Jiang," Xiang Wanguang laughed and said, "I am equal to him."

"Even if we are not equal now, one day we will become equal." Xiang Wanguang said in a low voice, "I will narrow the gap with him step by step until I get close to him and be with him." He's shoulder to shoulder."

Xiang Wanguang's words left Jiang Yueyue speechless.She looked at Xiang Wanguang with a wry smile on her face, as if she was looking at others through him.

After all, Jiang Yueyue didn't say anything else. After sighing, she said something softly, then turned and left.

But now that Xiang Wanguang came out of his memory, looking at Xi Nan who was standing beside him, he couldn't help but smile.Xi Nan's face was full of expressions, but he was not disgusted or dissatisfied.

Xi Nan has been waiting for Xiang Wanguang to answer, but after waiting for a long time, not only did he not hear Xiang Wanguang speak, but Xiang Wanguang even laughed to himself.

Xi Nan: "..."

Xi Nan reached out to pat Wan Guang on the shoulder, and asked him, "What are you laughing at?"

Xiang Wanguang shook his head, and did not tell Xi Nan the truth. At the same time, he turned around and led Xi Nan home, explaining to him, "My mother is not at home at this point, and she probably won't be back until a while later."

Xi Nan followed Xiang Wanguang in, glanced casually, and couldn't look any further.

Although Xiang Wanguang's house was not as bad as what Xi Nan had seen on TV before, it was not much better.The two-story red brick house, for some reason, the second floor has not been finished yet, and there are no tiles on the outside of the house, which looks a bit dilapidated.

As for the finished first floor, there is also no need for decoration, it is still a blank room.Xi Nan followed Xiang Wanguang into a room, and saw all kinds of things piled up everywhere on the floor, which looked messy and dirty.

Xiang Wanguang pushed open a door and led Xi Nan into the living room.This house is much better than the one I walked all the way just now. At least a sofa is placed in the center of the room, and some daily necessities are placed on the other side.

Xi Nan didn't wander around, and he was a little cautious when he entered the house, next to Xiang Wanguang, he didn't know what to do.Seeing Xi Nan like this, Xiang Wanguang couldn't help laughing.

He turned around and went to the cabinet to get a disposable cup, went to the table and poured a glass of water for Xi Nan, led him to sit on the only sofa in the room that was passable, and then passed the water in his hand to Xi Nan.

Xi Nan resisted the urge to wipe the sofa with paper, took a sip of the water Xiang Wanguang handed him, and then he heard Xiang Wanguang say, "You see, this is my home."

Holding the disposable paper cup, Xi Nan looked at Xiang Wanguang without saying a word.

Seeing Xi Nan like this, Xiang Wanguang raised the corners of his mouth and smiled, and uttered what he should have said a few days ago.

"The house was built three years ago, and my parents spent a lot of their savings." Xiang Wanguang said, "But you also saw that the house was not finished, because the house was built to the back, and something happened to my family."

"My junior high school had to live on campus, so at first I didn't know that something happened at home. But when I knew about it, I had already passed the senior high school entrance examination." Xiang Wanguang took the water from Xi Nan's hand and turned to Xi Nan Where the lips touched, he took a sip of water and continued, "What about the family..."

Xiang Wanguang paused, but did not continue.

Xi Nan, who had been silently listening to Xiang Wanguang's words, knew what Xiang Wanguang was going to say later when Xiang Wanguang said this, which was the point of being interrupted by the phone that night.

"You should have heard some rumors about me elsewhere. Guess why I didn't go to school." Xiang Wanguang's tone was flat, as if he was talking about something not about him, "Why?"

Without waiting for Xi Nan to answer, Xiang Wanguang took the initiative to say, "Because my family can't afford it."

Xiang Wanguang twitched the corners of his mouth and laughed again, with a few hints of smile hidden in his eyes, without the slightest bit of resentment from being suppressed by life.

"After my father's accident, the livelihood of the family was entirely on my mother." Xiang Wanguang said, "My mother is just an ordinary woman. She has never gone out to work in her life. She can only earn money by doing farm work."

"The cost of high school is not low, and my brother still has to go to school, so the family can't afford to support two children." Xiang Wanguang said lightly, "And my dad needs a fixed amount of money every month for medical treatment. My mom is under a lot of pressure."

"And I finished junior high school anyway, and my diploma is enough. But my younger brother is only in elementary school, so it's impossible not to stop studying." Xiang Wanguang laughed, sat next to Xi Nan, raised his hand and gently rubbed Xi Nan. The corners of his eyes were red, "I don't need to explain what happened next, you can guess it."

As early as Xiang Wanguang's birthday, when Xi Nan heard the call Xiang Wanguang received, he had a faint guess about what happened behind Xiang Wanguang.But what Xiang Wanguang said today was not too far from what he had guessed at the time.

However, although he had predicted it long ago, after hearing what Xiang Wanguang said, Xi Nan was completely defeated by the cruelty of reality and couldn't control his mood.

He felt sorry for Xiang Wanguang's experience, and felt sorry for him, who was about the same age as him, but had to bear so much more than him.While he was spending his parents' money and wandering around in various places, Xiang Wanguang had to put down his studies and shoulder the burden of a family.

Xiang Wanguang did not expect that Xi Nan, who usually seemed indestructible, would turn red eyes after listening to his words.Seeing this, Xiang Wanguang laughed, and reached out to hug Xi Nan into his arms.

His intention was not to make Xi Nan cry.

But what Xiang Wanguang didn't expect was that his hug, like the last straw that crushed Xi Nan, made him unable to control his emotions anymore, and let go of crying.

Xi Nan didn't know why he suddenly became so hypocritical that he couldn't help crying because of Xiang Wanguang's behavior.

He raised his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes, trying to straighten out his emotions.But Xiang Wanguang, who was holding him, suddenly came over and kissed the corner of his eye, kissing away the tears from the corner of his eye.

So Xi Nan, who was still crying, was suddenly taken aback, feeling embarrassed, and his earlobes turned red.

But Xiang Wanguang didn't feel that he had done such a surprising thing.After kissing the corners of Xi Nan's eyes, he reached out to pat him on the back, fearing that Xi Nan would be sad, so he coaxed, "It's all over."

"Besides," Xiang Wanguang chuckled, "If I hadn't made this choice, I wouldn't have met you, would I?"

Knowing that Xiang Wanguang was coaxing him, Xi Nan smiled with tears in his eyes.But his mood did not improve because of Xiang Wanguang's words, on the contrary, he was still heavy.

When he thought of Xiang Wanguang's achievements, he couldn't help feeling sorry for him.Without these bad things, Xi Nan couldn't imagine how dazzling Xiang Wanguang would be now.

A thought flashed across Xi Nan's mind, and he was about to open his mouth to tell Xiang Wanguang.But Xiang Wanguang seemed to have expected it a long time ago. Before Xi Nan opened his mouth, Xiang Wanguang put his hand on his lips and shook his head at him.

Xi Nan was puzzled and looked at Xiang Wanguang suspiciously.

Seeing Xi Nan like this, Xiang Wanguang couldn't help but pursed his lips and smiled.He kissed Xi Nan's forehead and said softly, "Xi Nan, I'm not telling you this to make you sympathize with me."

"I'm telling you this," Xiang Wanguang smiled, "I want you to understand. If there is anything you want to know in the future, just ask me, and I will tell you."

"Instead of hearing about it from other people."

"As for the other things," Xiang Wanguang's kiss fell from Xi Nan's forehead to the tip of his nose, "I want to tell you that although there is a gap between us now, one day, I will be able to walk by your side, and You are by your side."

Xiang Wanguang bowed his head, kissed Xi Nan's lips, and said the last sentence at the same time, "It's just this process, I hope you can wait for me, don't go too fast, so that I can't catch up. "

When Xiang Wanguang's kiss landed on his forehead, Xi Nan couldn't help but want to kiss him, so now Xiang Wanguang's lips finally landed on his lips, and Xiang Wanguang's words just finished, Xi Nan couldn't bear it.

So Xi Nan smiled, thinking about what Xiang Wanguang said just now, muttered "Hello", and opened his mouth to kiss Xiang Wanguang deeply.But the reality didn't go his way.

Because Xi Nan just opened his mouth, the door of the room was suddenly opened, and a childish voice rang in Xi Nan's ear in the next second, "Brother, you are back."
