Jiangxin Poplar

Jiang Cheng took out the tea leaves that he usually kept in the apartment and brewed a pot of scented tea. The hand that poured the tea into the cup still trembled uncontrollably.

Ever since he confirmed that it wasn't a hallucination, his hand hadn't stopped shaking.

Yang Yulang stared at the huge poster of himself on the wall in a daze.

The apartment was basically unchanged. Jiangcheng kept it clean and tidy. Although it didn't look like a permanent residence at first glance, all the furniture and furnishings were spotless. Everything was almost the same as before, except for the extra space on the wall. poster.

Being in it gave Yang Yulang the illusion that he had never left.

"Brother." Jiang Cheng walked up to him holding a teacup.

Only then did Yang Yulang recover from his daze. He took the cup and walked to the French window, and said softly, "Go take a shower first."

"Wash together." Jiang Cheng said.

Yang Yulang: "???"

Jiang Cheng approached him, his tone full of anxiety, "I'm afraid I won't see you after washing."

Yang Yulang was taken aback for another moment, then said after a moment of pause, "I won't leave."

"I don't know," Jiang Cheng put his arms around his waist, pleading in a low voice, "Come with me."

Yang Yulang wanted to retreat, but Jiang Cheng hugged him even tighter.

"That's it," Yang Yulang retreated and said the next best thing, "I'll stand at the door and watch you wash, is it all over?"

Yang Yulang, who was leaning against the sink in the bathroom and staring at the tiled floor, was a little speechless.

Jiang Cheng took a shower in front of him, and Yang Yulang saw that he was much thinner than five years ago, and his chin was sharper, which made the edges and corners of his face more distinct.Although he has lost weight, he is lean and strong. He has uniform wheat-colored skin all over his body, and his muscles are strong and his arms are strong. This is no longer the boy he used to be. Over the past five years or so, he has grown silently and become a real man.

During the washing process, Jiang Cheng's eyes never left Yang Yulang, but the latter only looked over once during the whole process, and then kept looking at the ground, as if he was thinking, or deliberately avoiding his eyes.

Jiang Cheng rinsed off the foam, turned off the water, took a bath towel and wrapped it around his body casually, then walked up to Yang Yulang.

Seeing that his hair was wet and dripping, Yang Yulang took the towel behind his back: "Wipe dry first."

Jiang Cheng refused to answer, "You help me."

Yang Yulang could only wipe it off for him.

Jiang Cheng lowered his head slightly and asked him, "Are you alright?"

Yang Yulang knew that he was asking about leukemia, which was also what he was most concerned about.

"Okay." Yang Yulang's two words so lightly conveyed all the suffering and pain he had endured in the past few years.

Jiang Cheng took a deep breath, stretched his arms around his waist, stared at his eyes, moved his toes forward a little to stick to his posture, and said, "It's only eleven days before it will be five years and six months."

Yang Yulang stopped wiping his hair instantly.

Jiang Cheng clasped his waist tightly, complaining and sad in an indescribable tone, he said, "For so long, I haven't received a single call or message from you...even..." Jiang Cheng felt his throat hurt and tightened, and he Unable to speak, the hand clasped around Yang Yulang's waist stretched out to the back of his neck, pressing him to himself, and after a long time he choked up and asked, "Yang Yulang, how can you be so cruel?"

Yang Yulang's hands clutching the towel were hanging by his sides, his knuckles turned white with force.

"I almost went to find you." Jiang Cheng stared at his slightly dodgy eyes, and secretly increased the hand pressing on the back of his neck. The two of them were so close that they could stick to each other's lips as long as they moved a little further. "During the summer vacation of my junior year, I booked a plane ticket to Vancouver."

Recalling this past event that no one knew, Jiang Cheng frowned deeply in pain. He suddenly turned up his voice and almost growled at Yang Yulang, "But I only know that you are in Vancouver, Vancouver is so big, what do I want? to find you?"

Jiang Cheng's eyes were red, "Do you know how I felt when I refunded the ticket at the end?"

Yang Yulang's lips trembled, but he didn't say a word.

"Brother," the tears that filled his eyes finally fell uncontrollably, "I really, can't hold on a few times."

He pulled Yang Yulang into his arms and hugged him tightly, "But I never blamed you," he repeated, "I don't blame you."

Yang Yulang's throat was bitter and astringent, he thought that time would dilute the feelings, but the reality was completely reversed from his imagination.

The five and a half years in Jiangcheng may have been a long time for him, maybe it was unbearably long, but for him, it cannot be described as long. These five and a half years have been almost a lifetime, so this time When I came back, my state of mind was no longer the same as it was before, but everything I saw was different.

But Jiangcheng is the only one that is as strong as before, no, the feelings are stronger than before!

Jiang Cheng hugged him for a long time, raised his head and grabbed his collar, "I don't want to do anything now, I have a lot of time, so I want you to report everything that happened in the past five and a half years, every detail tell me."

Yang Yulang wiped away his tears with his fingertips, and said softly: "Put on your clothes first, don't catch a cold."

Hearing this, Jiang Cheng didn't seem to let go of him to put on his clothes, but pushed him back hard, so that the two of them couldn't get closer to each other.

"What?" Yang Yulang asked him immobile, "Do you want to do something else first?"

"Yes." Jiang Cheng calmly asked again, "Is it possible?"

Yang Yulang shook his head.

"Why?" Although the mouth was still asking, Jiang Cheng's hands were no longer honest.

"Jiangcheng!" This night, Yang Yulang had already pushed him further and further. He was not so sure about some things, so he didn't want to go to bed in such a daze.

"Brother," Jiang Cheng knew that he had always been soft-hearted towards him, so he didn't intend to stop at all, and leaned into his ear and said, "You have feelings."

Yang Yulang turned his head away, "I didn't take a shower."

"I don't care if you wash it or not." Jiang Cheng said and started kissing his neck.

Yang Yulang covered his face with the towel in his hand, trying to push him, but he picked him up and walked upstairs.

Yang Yulang was no different in this matter than before, the same passivity, completely letting Jiang Cheng take the dominant position.

Perhaps it was because he also longed for Jiang Cheng, that's why the initial refusal seemed so feeble, and Jiang Cheng easily captured his heart.

Jiang Cheng kissed him passionately. Yang Yulang was not much different from what he remembered, and he hadn't lost weight to an unacceptable level.

Jiang Cheng knew that it was the credit of Yi Feng and the people around him. He had always been well taken care of, with balanced nutrition and careful nurturing, so even though he was seriously ill, there was no trace of vicissitudes and haggardness left on him.

The kiss kept falling, and the emotion was so strong that it was about to overflow.

Yang Yulang tilted his head back, breathing heavily and unbearably.

Jiang Cheng hugged him and sucked his earlobes very hard, Yang Yulang's earlobes were so red that he seemed to bleed.

This torment is endless. In the past, Jiang Cheng was worried about Yang Yulang's poor health and restrained himself. This time, he heard that his body had recovered, and he was indeed physically strong. After two rounds, he was still in good spirits, so he went all out. dry.

When Jiang Cheng woke up, he felt a headache, which was the inevitable consequence of a hangover. If he moved, his whole body was sore and limp, especially his waist, which was so sore that he couldn't get up. He closed his eyes and groped on the bed for a while, but last night Yang Yulang The lying position is cool.

He opened his eyes abruptly.

The curtains were still drawn in the room, but he knew it was getting late, the bed was in a mess, the quilt was hanging to the floor, and two pillows were also scattered on the floor.

In such a situation, a discerning eye would know that the madness last night was not a dream, but Jiang Cheng panicked all of a sudden.

He almost rolled out of bed because he was so flustered.

With no clothes or shoes on, he ran down the stairs naked, shouting as he ran, "Brother!"

He yelled twice and got no answer, sweat immediately broke out on his forehead, ran to the living room and yelled loudly: "Yang Yulang!"

After shouting, he suddenly heard the balcony door being opened behind him. Yang Yulang, who was on the phone, poked his head in and asked, "What's wrong?"

When Jiang Cheng turned his head, a heart that had been suspended high slapped back to the ground, and he rushed over to hug Yang Yulang tightly.

Yang Yulang's phone call was interrupted. He stroked Jiang Cheng's hair, "What's wrong with you?"

Jiang Cheng pressed against his neck and said with lingering fear, "I thought you were gone."

"How come?" Yang Yulang told him to stand still, "Running around without clothes on, Xiao Yi will come over in a while, hurry up."

Only then did Jiang Cheng grin and smile in embarrassment. He put his hand into Yang Yulang's bathrobe, leaned close to him and smelled it, "Have you washed it already?"

"Ah."

Jiang Cheng asked him, "I did most of the work last night, how can you get up so early?"

Before Yang Yulang could speak, he pulled him closer, "Isn't that enough?"

Yang Yulang pointed to the wall clock at the back and said: "It's almost twelve o'clock, is it still early?" Glancing at him, he said, "Aren't you hungry? Xiao Yi will bring food over in a while, if you don't want him to see you like this Go take a shower and get dressed."

"Let's go." Jiang Cheng turned around, then suddenly turned back and put his arms around Yang Yulang's neck and gave him a long kiss. After the kiss, he licked his lips and walked to the bathroom contentedly.
