A Certain Someone

Jiang Tian didn't sleep soundly, but still had several dreams.

Dreamed that Du Cheng poked his head out from behind the smoke and said, "Huanyu, he has grown so big? The last time I saw him was ten years ago."

I dreamed that Ji Huanyu said to Jiang Ou: "Your son also likes men, are you happy?"

I dreamed that Jiang Ou was screaming, and he was standing in the long alley outside Wutong, and the old head of the regiment was lying motionless in front of his feet. Old man Ding looked at him and the cat and said, "It's hard, it's impossible to save, Let's go." Then he closed the courtyard door in front of him.

He stood where he was, feeling tired and ridiculous.He obviously didn't hold anything in his hand, but wanted to rest on his knees for a while.

He tried several times, but he couldn't bend down. He just felt tired and irritable, so he woke up from the dream.

The moment he opened his eyes, Jiang Tian didn't know where he was sleeping, but only saw Sheng Wang sitting in front of him, with warm lights in his eyes, staring at him intently.

"Brother." Sheng Wang called him softly, then leaned over on one knee, kissed his brow, eye corners and lips, and whispered: "I'm 18 years old, I love you."

The irritating and sad emotions in the dream disappeared instantly, as if someone briefly removed the steel plate from his back, allowing him to bend over and take a breath.

Jiang Tian turned against the guests, grabbing the back of Shengwang's neck and wanted to kiss him back, but suddenly remembered that they were still in the living room, the most dangerous place in the house, and someone might come at any time.

He froze for a moment, and let go of his hand.

"What time is it?" Jiang Tian asked in a low voice.He sat up straight only to realize that he was covered with a velvet blanket, which had only slipped down to his waist in the movement just now.

"It's around 1:20." Sheng Wang reported the time without looking at his phone.

Jiang Tian's heart softened, he reached out and touched the other person's face and asked, "Have you been waiting?"

"No, I went up and down the stairs several times, and watched the time impatiently for N times." Sheng Wang pointed to the remote control on the coffee table and said, "Just now I was thinking of waking you up and pretending to change the channel. You may feel murderous, wake up by yourself gone."

Jiang Tian laughed, and was about to say something when someone opened the bedroom door in the distance, and a pale light leaked out from inside.

The two on the sofa separated hastily.

Sheng Mingyang walked over with his slippers on, leaning on the back of the sofa and asked in a low voice, "Xiao Tian is awake? Are you hungry? The white fungus soup that Sister Sun simmered is still warming in the pot."

"Not hungry." Jiang Tian lifted the blanket and glanced towards the bedroom.

He is not good at getting along with people warmly, and he doesn't like to show favors, but it doesn't mean he is ignorant.He knew that whether it was Ji Huanyu or Du Cheng, no matter how many shadows it brought to him and Jiang Ou, it had nothing to do with the Sheng family.In fact, Sheng Mingyang could choose not to bear these things, but he accepted them all.

This gave Jiang Tian a very strange feeling, as if Sheng Mingyang had suddenly taken over what he had been carrying all along.It seemed like he should relax a bit, but he didn't.It wasn't what he'd been used to for years, but he knew intellectually that he should be thanking or apologizing.

"today--"

Jiang Tian was silent for a moment, and was interrupted by Sheng Mingyang as soon as he opened his mouth: "Today's incident is an accident, and it has nothing to do with any of you. Even if there is something, it is for us elders to communicate. I didn't want you to go The hospital... Forget it, it’s already like this, don’t keep thinking about it, it’s all happened many years ago.”

As he said this, his brows were furrowed.Maybe it was because he didn't sleep too late, his face was full of tiredness.Probably everyone who says "Forget it and don't think about it" is just expressing a hope.

Jiang Tian looked at his face and fell silent again.

Sheng Wang glanced at his brother, pulled the blanket and folded it, and changed the subject: "Dad, are you here?"

"Oh." Sheng Mingyang looked at the empty glass in his hand, and said, "Your Auntie Jiang has a fever, pour some water for her."

"fever?"

"Don't worry, I've taken the medicine. It's just that I can't sleep well, and I panic when I turn off the lights. I have suffered such a big stimulus today, and it would be enough for anyone. If those things happen to me, I may have to collapse for a while. She originally People who don’t like to lose their temper, feel bored when they are unhappy, maybe it’s a good thing to vent out like this today. I asked a friend to make an appointment with a doctor, and I will take her to meet and have a chat after the year. During this time Just... just take care of each other a little bit more."

"Okay, it's getting late. You two should go to bed quickly after you've been tossing all night." Sheng Mingyang patted the back of the sofa, then glanced at the silent TV, and pointed at Sheng Wang jokingly: "Say yes You want to watch a movie here, are you watching a silent movie?"

For a moment, Jiang Tian felt that Sheng Mingyang's eyes swept past him, and he didn't know whether it was intentional or not.

Sheng Wang's lips moved a little, and he said, "Otherwise, my brother is sleeping and I turn on the loudspeaker to blow him up?"

Sheng Mingyang urged a few more words, and went to the kitchen with a water glass.Not long after there was a creaking sound, he closed the door and went back to the bedroom, but the door was not closed tightly, and the light changed from a block to a very thin strip, which still fell on the sofa.

The two boys sat at both ends of the sofa, and were cut into two isolated islands by the line.

After a while, someone crossed the line and grabbed Jiang Tian's hand and shook it, saying, "Go upstairs?"

"Yeah." Jiang Tian glanced at the bedroom and dragged him back to the bedroom on the second floor.

He just fell asleep on the sofa, and he wasn't really sleepy.On the contrary, Sheng Wang's eyelids started to fight, and he kept following behind, as if he had made some mistake.

He washes up, and Sheng Wang leans against the door.He made the bed, and Sheng Wang grabbed the corner of the quilt to help.He dug out Brother Chu's stack of information books, and Sheng Wang picked one up and said that he could also share some.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Tian finally had to turn around and catch him.

Sheng Wang stared at his fingers, held them back after a moment of silence and said, "I won't twitch from now on."

Jiang Tian was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was talking about.He was a little dumbfounded at first, but then more complicated emotions flooded up, and he suddenly didn't know what to answer.

After a long time, he blinked and said, "I'm afraid not."

Of course he knew why Sheng Wang reacted in that way. If he didn't do that, with Ji Huanyu's disgusting vigor, he wouldn't know what crazier words he would say, and he would probably stab him with every sentence.He is Jiang Ou's last line of defense. If even this line collapses, he will not be far from mad.

It's just that rationality is rationality, and clarity is clarity.He understands all the reasons, but it doesn't mean he won't feel sad when his hands become empty.This is the helplessness and incomprehension between him and Shengwang.

They simply quarrel, conflict, and constantly break out conflicts, or feel boring, boring, and disgusted with each other in the passing of time.Ideally, all the triggers under normal conditions are not so difficult to accept, because when people stand at the end of a quarrel, boredom is always more than love, and it is not so sad.

But they don't have these, they can only understand what they have to do.Just like he's doing right now.

"I'm a high-risk person now." Jiang Tian's tone was a bit self-deprecating, and then slowly calmed down, "My mother and your father should have heard what Ji Huanyu said."

"No, everyone could see that he was jumping over the wall and biting people in a hurry." Sheng Wang said.

Jiang Tian shook his head: "If you hear it, you hear it."

They may find it absurd and don't believe it, but words are like knives, and what they say will leave a mark in their hearts after all, and then they will pop up inadvertently.

Whether intentional or not, they will become suspicious and sensitive unconsciously.

Sheng Wang lowered his eyes and tightened his grip on Jiang Tian's fingers.After a long time, he said, "My father is half open-minded and half rigid. I remember someone mentioned it to him before..."

He paused, then continued: "He didn't respond much to the topic of homosexuality. He didn't say anything disgusting or perverted. Last time we talked about the case in the hospital, the old man and the others were rushing to talk. , you know my dad's character, he just follows what others say, and doesn't mean what he thinks."

In fact, this is only half of what he said, Sheng Mingyang is indeed half enlightened and half traditional.Other people's sons like women or men, with people or with monsters, he accepts them well, and even wraps a big red envelope to send blessings sincerely.That's because he doesn't like to gossip, and he doesn't care.

But his own son was different.

He didn't intend to mention these grand hopes, he just wanted to tell Jiang Tian the good ones: "Aunt Jiang... also has a knot in her heart. It will be much easier if scumbags are not prejudiced against these things."

"The high school is too close to home, and the university is different. The emperor is far away from the high school. Unlike the attached high school, the teachers more or less know my father and your mother." Sheng Wang said: "I will work harder to enter the same school as you." School, and then rent a house, and bring the cat son. There is a saying that the fragrance is far away, and the smell is near. At that time, we were both fragrant, and we will grind with them slowly, and there will always be a day when we can make sense."

"Now my dad dares to transfer me to another school even if he doesn't agree with me. I won't be able to go to university. I don't believe that I have been admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. He will say, 'Let's go, in order to prevent you from falling in love, let's change schools'."

Jiang Tian was finally teased by his words and laughed twice.

Sheng Wang suddenly got excited, threw him on the bed and kissed him hard for a long time.

In fact, in the final analysis, it’s just that the timing is wrong. Sometimes Shengwang wishes that time will pass faster. It’s better to lie down and open his eyes. He will be an adult, university or work. If he met Jiang Tian at that time, I’m afraid it will be another a look.

So just wait a little longer, just get through these two years.

When chatting, "high school" and "university" can be carried over in a few words, and it takes less than two seconds.But when I opened my eyes, the days were still slowly crawling forward.

The mood they finally eased up at night was completely destroyed in the early morning of the next day, because Jiang Ou's condition was really bad.She tried to calm herself down, talked with a smile, and dragged Aunt Sun to work in the kitchen, trying to cook a good birthday meal for Jiang Tian.

After finishing one thing, she hurried to find the next one, without letting herself idle for a second.It turned out that Jiang Tian just said that she wanted to go out with Sheng Wang, and she accidentally made a whole casserole.

The pot of boiling stew spilled all over the kitchen, making her feet red.

"Auntie, we're just going to get the cake, which was ordered before." Sheng Wang didn't know what she was thinking, and didn't know if she didn't hear what Qing Jiangtian said later, so he explained something in surprise.

"I know, I know." Jiang Ou sat on the sofa and applied ointment on the burnt area.She said it several times in a low voice, and then said apologetically, "Auntie is fine, she just lost her mind for a while."

As a result, none of them mentioned going out again, and asked the cake shop to deliver the things instead.

There are two cakes, both ordered by Shengwang a long time ago, one is for eating, and the other is fondant that can be kept.He got the idea from the WeChat group. Carp and Pepper made an appointment to learn this during the winter vacation, and they said they could keep it for a long time after they were done.

The fondant cake he ordered for Jiang Tian had a small house, and in front of the house stood a group of Q-version villains, Jiang Ou, Old Man Ding, Gao Tianyang, Zhao Xi, Lin Beiting, himself and a cat, surrounded the one representing Jiang Tian Little man, lively and rich.He hesitated for a long time, and for the sake of the father-son relationship, he went through the back door and added Sheng Mingyang.

There is a sign next to the house that says best 18 years old.

But when the cake came in, the kitchen was full of mess and the room was silent.

The cake is packed in a transparent box, which looks very beautiful from a distance, but there are some flaws when viewed up close.Shengwang let the store use the best sugar, which can be kept for many years.But on the way to deliver it, I don't know if it was knocked or what, there are cracks in several places.

Sheng Wang was in a hurry, the delivery man kept apologizing, but it was Jiang Tian who carried the cake and said, "I'm taking it upstairs."

This is the 18-year-old gifted to him by the person he likes, surrounded by everyone he cares about, complete and beautiful, he must cherish it.Although the reality is quite different.

Given that Jiang Ou had a fever repeatedly, he was in a state of restlessness every day.Sheng Mingyang had to postpone the arranged banquet indefinitely, and had to explain it to everyone who was invited.

Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian took on more than half of the chores for him, which saved him from being overwhelmed.

Sheng Mingyang said on the phone to others: "Fortunately, I have two worry-free sons."

He is actually very good to Jiang Tian, ​​but he has always kept a proper distance, because he knows that Jiang Tian is not someone who is easy to get close to.He never used "my son" to describe Jiang Tian before, but he mentioned it frequently these two days.

In the ears of Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian, ​​these words became a kind of emphasis and reminder.As Jiang Tian said before, Ji Huanyu's words were like a blunt knife, grinding an imprint on their hearts, not bleeding, but aching.

So much so that Sheng Mingyang and Jiang Ou would always observe Jiang Tian subconsciously, staring at his every move.

Under this kind of staring, the sudden withdrawal of a certain person's hand has happened many times, so many that they themselves are a little numb.

So much so that on the last day of the winter vacation, Sheng Wang grabbed his phone and went downstairs to eat, and sat on the far left side of the sofa while waiting.After a while, Jiang Tian came downstairs and sat habitually on the far right. There was no light leaking from the bedroom door in the middle, but it was still separated by mountains and seas.

Sheng Wang stared at the blank space, and suddenly had a strange idea.

If there is no rented house waiting for them in the distance, if the environment he and Jiang Tian are in day and night is like this, if sitting at two ends and drawing boundaries have become a conditioned daily life, then they Still a couple?

It was as if there were people standing around who couldn't see their faces clearly. When he spoke, they stabbed Jiang Tian.When Jiang Tian spoke, they stabbed him.

After a long time, will it be difficult to tell who caused the sadness?
