"I said Yang Jian, you are not kind," Polo shirt straightened up and shouted, "It's fine to bring the two families, why didn't my sister-in-law tell us in advance when she was coming?"

Li Bai couldn't look at anyone else for a while, including You Lili, including those noisy classmates. He focused all his attention on Yang Jian, but he saw Yang Jian standing there, as if he had just regained his composure, and was surrounded by everyone He moved to Yu Lili's side, was pushed down, and sat in the position of the female classmate just now.

"This is from the party secretary of your grade. They wanted to make a video just now to make room for it, but they couldn't bear to delete the previous ones," You Lili said softly, leaning on Yang Jian's shoulder naturally, and holding the screen to the Right now, he said, "I found quite a few of you. Check out this, the New Year's interview in the second year of high school. We laughed so hard. It's the most interesting one."

Li Bai was so anxious that he squeezed desperately into the crowd, and when he was a little sober, he saw that he was still young and let him go. He did not miss a few seconds of the video. Moving away quietly under the neck, he also saw what was being played on the screen.

Yang Jian is shorter than now, with shorter hair than now, wearing no coat over the loose school uniform, carrying a shriveled schoolbag, half of his body stepped into the snow-covered steps outside the teaching building, and half of his body was dragged by someone, leaving him behind. in the door.

It seemed that he wanted to run away, but was stopped by the branch cadres and forced to accept an interview.

Because of the close distance, Li Bai could still hear what he said.

"Yes, I just talked to me. To be precise, we chatted. It was mutual." Yang Jian finally looked straight at the camera, with a youthful face and a fast speaking speed. Those dark eyes were not the same as now It's the same, the thin eyelids are red from the cold, and a pimple has grown under the corner of the eye, "You ask Lao Xu and me what to say? That's too much, I told Xu Haibo, in fact, we Both of them are rare honest and sincere people in this world. It’s just that you look weird when you’re too upright, and I’m pitiful when I’m too sincere. So I chatted with him for two full quarters in peace class."

"Haha, if you don't believe me, go talk to him too." Yang Jian laughed out the dimples and tiger teeth, "It's not me. In the grade, or even in the whole school, who else can talk and laugh with Lao Xu besides me? Except me Is there anyone else who is not asked to drink tea by the grade director because of bad grades or getting into trouble? It can only be said that because I am as intelligent as Lao Xu, he likes to chat with me all day long."

After all, no one could stop him, so he jumped down the steps and ran away.

The group secretary with thick eyebrows and big eyes summed up seriously in front of the camera: "I am very sorry, because the person concerned left early and played truant again, we had to terminate this interview."

You Lili was about to faint from laughter, and she handed the DV player to someone else, and played this video repeatedly, which was tantamount to revealing the truth. "You are too narcissistic, Xiao Yang." There was such a voice in the rolling laughter.Yang Jian was probably the only one who didn't smile. He didn't make any excuses for his truant behavior back then. He just casually crossed one leg and pointed his knee at You Lili, keeping a certain distance. He lowered his head to look at his phone. , Li Bai could only see his broken hair and the back of his neck again.

Oh, and Li Bai wasn't smiling.

To be precise, Li Bai was lost in thought, and seemed to be dreaming. In the second year of high school, that is, five years ago, the childishness, perverseness, flirtatious arrogance, and even a certain withdrawnness hidden behind him had just brushed shoulders in front of his eyes. , but everyone regards it as a joke for reminiscing about the past.Maybe there was no malice at all, but in Li Bai's view, it was no different from bad ridicule. He looked at those people coldly, and traced the minute and a half in the square screen in his mind, trying to remember it better.He inexplicably felt that Yang Jian back then was less sad and more happy than he is now, although life was still bitter.That was also the year that he would never have the chance to touch, but just now, he was able to see a corner clearly.

So I have to thank You Lili?

You Lili happened to turn her head around at this moment, blinking her eyelashes and asked him: "Xiaobai, I still want to ask you, is skating fun? I don't, it seems that your brother is teaching well."

"Hey, wait a minute—" the Polo shirt interrupted, "Sister-in-law, have you come here to go ice skating with this brother? Our focus is on the party. Speaking of which, you have been away for such a long time just now, Yang Jian you Tell yourself, how to punish? Is it drinking or throwing dice?"

"Dice," Yang Jian said modestly, "I'll have to crawl home if I drink any more."

"Come on, throw a handful!" Cun Tou handed over the dice, Yang Jian cast it, and the small cubes rolled in the cup, and the word "kiss" was written on the upward side.

Seeing this word, the onlookers were very happy, pointing at the dice and shouting.Of course, Li Bai also recognized the word, when he was still seeing it, he wrote "Yang Jian" with a pencil next to it.Now, he heard others booing, saying that we can solve it directly with my sister-in-law if we don’t make a mistake. His heart was like being crushed into a stone mill in the blink of an eye, leaking down little by little, but he heard Yang Jian say again, "Still follow the rules." "Come" was suddenly molded back to its full shape, regaining its vitality.

The so-called "rule" is that Yang Jian closes his eyes and throws the dice again. If he rolls high, he will kiss whoever goes into the cup. If the cup doesn't go in, he will kiss the tabletop if he falls on the table, and kiss the floor if he falls on the floor.

Yang Jian's eyes were softly covered by You Lili's hands.

And the "good-hearted person" quietly picked up the cocktail glass that Yu Lili stained with lipstick, and waited to catch the dice like a goalkeeper, which caused low laughter in the audience.

But Yang Jian raised his left arm, and with a flick of his wrist, the dice drew a long arc in the air, passed over the wine glass that must be won, and fell into the small square glass closest to the edge of the table with a ding dong.

Half of the light red drink hadn't been finished yet, and the fine foam stimulated by the dice was rustling out of the water.

"Whose one?" Cun Tou Le Dian Dian ran over, his face was full of excitement, he held up the lucky cup, "Come on, come on, all men and women stand up, congratulations Awarded our level 98, Charm Legendary, a kiss!"

"Mine." Li Bai raised his hand and said loudly, "Grapefruit Sprite, I drank half of it."

After a long period of dead silence, there was a sudden burst of laughter and applause. They said that this little brother is unusual, his face does not change, he dares to take things seriously, "Quick kiss! Kiss!" They urged, but Li Bai could only see , Yang Jian took You Lili's hand away, turned back half of his body, raised his face, and looked at himself with the same concentration.

"Hey, this is my younger brother." Yang Jian said.

"Everyone knows! No matter how many times I have said it," someone yelled, patting the back of the sofa, "Just say you dare? You see, children are not afraid, if you dare not kiss, you are guilty of guilt!"

"What are you afraid of, brother?" Someone even directly pressed Li Bai's shoulders, causing his stomach to lean against the backrest. The trousers are grown, it’s just a slap, we played here just now, how many old men have slapped each other, and it’s not a marriage certificate!"

Yang Jian smiled, but couldn't tell the temperature, he asked Li Bai: "What do you think?"

Li Bai felt that his heart was hitting the sofa directly, he took a deep breath, his throat was dry: "I'm fine."

—I would love it so much!

Although he was being pressed from behind, he seemed to hold himself out with his own hands, his lips trembled slightly, and he opened slightly: "You kiss."

——Come on, be bold, be strong, you have to open your mouth!

Otherwise, I will kiss you.

Yang Jian still didn't look at others, including You Lili. His expression was that he was thinking, he was in a certain space that no one else could enter, and he was thinking a lot, complicated, and over and over again. It was used very steadily, and it pushed people to their side again.

The students were all excited.

"Everyone," Yu Lili suddenly said, "This is a bit of a joke."

"Oh, my sister-in-law is going to be jealous—"

"It's okay to be jealous, after all, it's just playing games." You Lili put five fingers on Yang Jian's shoulders, and gently drew circles, "It's just disgusting when two men are together. Homosexuality is like a mental illness. , don’t mislead the kid with this kiss.”

Suddenly, the banquet fell into dead silence again, but it didn't come alive immediately.Li Bai saw Yang Jian turn his head, he looked in the same direction, and saw Zhao Weizong woke up from his lethargy at some point, he seemed to have looked at Yang Jian for a moment, his expression still remained stunned and stiff.

In the next second, Yang Jian stood up, and pulled You Lili, holding the base of the forearm, far away from the hand. "Come with me." He said, taking You Lili to a secluded place on the edge of the dining area, separated from the underground parking lot by a wall.

Li Bai pushed aside the crowd that squeezed him, and followed him together, because he felt that he had no way to stay in other places, and his tracking method was not clever, so he must have been discovered, but no one stopped him.He didn't hide at all, and stood beside a concrete pillar, panting and leaning against it, watching silently.

"It's boring." That's what Yang Jian said in the first sentence, and he let go of You Lili's arm.

"I think it's very fun?" You Lili was still smiling, "Xiaoqing invited me here, the party secretary of your high school, I came to play with her, not you."

"I said what you just said."

"What are you talking about?" You Lili pointed at Li Bai, "Oh, homosexuality, why is it so boring, did it irritate your fragile younger brother? Or did I poke a sore spot among your classmates who were homosexuals? Am I right? So Many people, you catch a few and ask them what they think of homosexuality?"

Yang Jian was silent for a moment.

"By the way, I just remembered," he said suddenly, with the objective tone of discussing issues with students, "Last time you used my cell phone to call Li Bai and asked him to wait near the hotel? Do you think Let him see, am I right?"

"You're saying this now just to fight."

"I want to ask clearly."

"That time was—" You Lili was speechless, "I have my reasons, and it's not that I just sue because I have nothing to do."

It's true, Li Bai thought, I didn't complain.

"Of course you do, I can listen," Yang Jian said calmly, "but I don't have to listen."

"We've broken up." He didn't give You Lili time to breathe, even though she was already in tears.

"Haha," You Lili looked down at the tips of her high heels, crossed her arms, and looked up at Yang Jian with tears in her eyes, "You finally said these two words."

Yang Jian was silent.

"Indeed, Yang Jian, you are right. We have already broken up, so I should break up with you. From the very beginning, we should just be friends and not go to bed. Maybe you will treat me better," You Lili cried. Smiling, "It's okay to break up. If you haven't seen or contacted for a few months, just keep it up. After a while, you will forget about each other. Why should I jump out to find pleasure?"

"you're right."

"You still want to say that I've changed, right? It's all my fault. You didn't love me in the first place. You told me you couldn't do this from the very beginning. I'm still here to push forward, wishful thinking," You Lili suddenly He started to wipe away his tears again, and quickly wiped off that delicately made-up face, "It's so fucking boring, you're tired of it, and there's nothing you can do about it, because I forced it all!"

"No. I'm really tired," Yang Jian watched the muddy drops of water dripping from her chin, "but it's because I don't like making love a burden, and I don't like being responsible for other people's emotions. It’s your fault, it’s my own problem. Now that I’ve made it clear, you’ll be relieved.”

You Lili looked away, calmed down for a while, and said in a hoarse voice: "Okay, thank you for waiting here, I really have something to say." She glanced at Li Bai hurriedly, then hurriedly looked back at Yang Jian eyes, "You are not someone who can fall in love. Whoever falls in love with you will be unlucky. You think about it, Yang Jian, and remember my words. I really loved you before, and I thought I might be Exceptions, this is a mistake that everyone will make, I really hate you now, whenever you have the idea of ​​'I seem to be in love with someone' in the future, just think about today, if that person loves you too It will become like me, and he will hate you more than me, because your fake love will make him suffer more than me. We will have nothing to do with each other from now on, but you have to remember this sentence forever .”

Yang Jian nodded, "Is it finished now?"

You Lili smiled, turned cold, pulled off the earrings, tore off the necklace, and shook the cosmetics in the bag into her hands, and threw them on Yang Jian one by one with a hysterical calm.This was probably something that Yang Jian had given her before.

And Yang Jian just waited for her to finish throwing it away, without speaking or picking it up, turned around and walked away under her non-stop staring.

Step by step, Li Bai watched him getting closer by the concrete pillar, but suddenly saw You Lili catching up again, stepping on the debris on the ground, and grabbing Yang Jian's hand forcefully.

"There are still some accounts to be settled," she said, "I got a tattoo because of you, I haven't seen it, but I have washed it now, but it hurts, and the scar is still on my ankle."

Yang Jian turned his head and waited quietly for her to continue.

"Have you ever been hurt because of me?" She held up a fragment of a makeup mirror, "Yang Jian, if you touch it, it's fair to have hurt for me."

Without pleading or hesitating, Yang Jian raised his hand, but stopped before approaching. He was preempted—Li Bai ran to him at some point and snatched the piece of glass from You Lili's hand.

"Are you sick!" Li Bai stared at the woman with a pale face, dissatisfied.

You Lili yelled, "It's none of your fucking business!"

As usual, Li Bai drew blood on his palm with the glass, "Is it enough?"

You Lili opened her mouth, her teeth chattering.

Li Bai clenched his fist again, the glass was still in his hand, and he put his gaze on You Lili's face peacefully, "Now? You can feel as much pain as you want."

Without waiting for an answer, when he was about to hold it tighter and waited for the blood to spill from between his fingers, Yang Jian pulled his fingers away, threw away his glass, and grabbed his other wrist and dragged him away.

You Lili didn't catch up again, but no one seemed to be paying attention to this matter now. Seeing that there was only half of the way back to the dinner table, the two began to talk.It was Yang Jian who spoke first. Li Bai thought he would get angry and scold him for being sick, but he didn't.

"I've seen it all." Yang Jian said.

"Ah."

"I also heard clearly."

"Ah."

"Do you think I'm that kind of person?"

"do not know."

"Actually, I don't know." Yang Jian's fingertips twitched on Li Bai's pulse on the inside of his wrist. "I think I'm a person without a cup, but sometimes I can hear the sound of water."

Li Bai was stunned, "Pa-ta, pa-ta." His lips opened and closed unconsciously, he hadn't recovered from Yu Lili's accusation, and he stared blankly at the hand that pulled him forward all the way, as if staring at the hand. All the answers to the sky ladder, Naihe bridge, and sudden arrival.Yang Jian talked about water, and also a cup.Yang Jian actually understood the cup that had always existed, the cup that was so precious to him that it was burst by water and had to blurt out.

"Pa-ta, pa-ta." Yang Jian also said, speaking clearly and steadily, he told Li Bai that way, and he really understood.

"You make me feel...very special. The people, trees, cats, dogs, flying insects, and air around you are not your kind." He turned his head again and cast bright eyes at Li Bai, "I am not you either. The same kind. So I don’t know how to raise it. So I’m afraid you will die.”

Li Bai was dizzy when he heard it, and suddenly broke away from his strength, and grabbed his fingers with his injured hand.Holding it, the blood sticks hot and slippery between the two, drawing out the intertwined lines of the fingers, the sense of direction is brought back by the pain, and stabilized in his body, even the pain is warm.He was not rejected, and the hand gently held him back.

Li Bai smiled, "Then teach me to live, brother." He said.

These words, these words, are like a string of curses superimposed on each other, and the person who is holding hands is the person under the curse, and the two hearts are tightly bound, beating at the same frequency.They never let go of each other's hands again, Li Bai even thought that the wound would make him and Yang Jian grow together, and he needed a knife to cut it apart.Thousands of words, or silence, it makes no difference. They returned to the dirty and old sofa, and in the uproar, they finished the interrupted kiss.

In the beginning, everyone seemed to be frightened, and they couldn't tell the truth from the fake, and they were not even proficient in coaxing. They were at a loss, trembling, and making lame comments, such a group of good dragons.Immediately after, the atmosphere heated up again, and the drunk people confirmed that it was a joke and applauded their creditable feat.But these are too unimportant. The two centers of the storm are already intoxicated and dazzled by each other's spells. A kiss can only be counted as the beginning, but Li Bai was completely exhausted by the kiss and hung himself in Yang Jian. Lying down on his shoulders, Yang Jian picked up the glass of grapefruit Sprite that was about to fall from the edge of the table at the same time, and poured all the dice into Li Bai's mouth without staining his face.

But Yang Jian's own face was dirty, and Li Bai saw the blood on the side of his ear that he touched, and smiled happily, his mouth full of sweet water overflowing.The sofa was creaked by the two of them, the surrounding area was already crowded, and the people became more and more noisy, but Yang Jian's movements did not stop because of this, he calmed down, stuffed the empty cup into Li Bai's reddened tiger's mouth, and pressed down the With a body that was even more red, she concentrated on brushing away Li Bai's messy hair that covered her face, watching him cough dirty, and let the soft embrace wrap around her even harder after a frightened struggle.He didn't lower his face until he felt the strength of his fingers being nailed into his back, and he was close to touching by an inch, and then pierced this inch. Yang Jian kept looking at Li Bai's eyes, took the bright red tip of his tongue in his mouth, and took out the dice , Kissing Li Bai's mouth dry due to the slight itching caused by the air bubbles.
