Xi Yin

"Brother, lie down, what are you doing up?" Chen Huai leaned up to help him, although Qin Chuji always concealed it well, but every time he got up or bent down, his body seemed very stiff, obviously using the waist Movement is still difficult

"It's okay, let's go for a walk, it's stuffy inside." Qin Chuji pulled him out, "Just now the nurse said that he will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow, what are you doing here tonight? You can't sleep well here."

"No, I sleep well wherever I am." Chen Huai smiled at him with his face up, Qin Chuji remembered that he had slept soundly all night lying on his stomach, and smiled too

The night wind passed through the trees in the small garden, and brushed over the broken hair on Chen Huai's forehead, revealing a smooth forehead, which seemed to have matured a lot

"Brother, I will treat you to dinner when I leave the hospital tomorrow. There is a delicious Cantonese food next to the school. It's not too spicy. You should be able to eat it."

"Speaking of this..." Qin Chuji suddenly remembered, "I mentioned to you that there is a dinner before, remember? It was supposed to be later, I don't know who they heard that I will be discharged from the hospital until tomorrow, come together? "

Chen Huai suddenly became nervous. What kind of people are Qin Chuji's friends?

"I...forget it. I'll treat you to dinner alone another day..."

"What are you afraid of?" Qin Chuji put his hand on his shoulder, and he was a little arrogant. "Whenever I'm around, you usually listen to me. You just need to know me. What are you afraid of?"

"I……"

"Come on." It was the first time Qin Chuji spoke in such a tone, with a begging and soft tone. If Qin Chuhan heard it, he might spit on him. He laughed, and the moonlight reflected in his pupils, Yingying shiny

Chen Huai just looked into those eyes, and agreed "Okay."

After finishing speaking, I realized, "Are you going to leave the hospital tomorrow? I didn't bring any clothes to change, and my hair is a bit long. I was thinking about cutting it soon, but I didn't find the right time..."

"Actually, it's just laziness, isn't it?" Qin Chuji poked at his head and said

Chen Huai could only nod, "That's right. Then I'll get up early tomorrow and go home first."

Qin Chuji looked at Chen Huai's attire. Today he was wearing a wide-neck T-shirt, pure white, with a small logo stamped on the lower right corner. On his legs were beige slacks with tight feet and black Converse canvas shoes.This is how he normally wears it, but Qin Chuji couldn't move his eyes for some reason when he saw the small collarbone exposed by the neckline today.

"Don't go back, trouble. I'll take you to cut your hair tomorrow, and buy two new ones by the way."

Chen Huai looked at him while pulling at his clothes, "Ah? Are my clothes not good-looking?"

"No, it's too pretty." Qin Chuji touched his nose, "I'm too old. Just cooperate with me."

Chen Huaile said, "Okay, I just didn't expect you to care about this. Didn't everyone say that a man has 31 flowers, and you are beautiful now."

"It's less than 30, it's not." Qin Chuji tapped on his forehead

"Hahaha, I know, I remember..."

On the second day, when Qin Chuji brought Chen Huai into the store for the second time, he gave up.Look too young, strange face, not clothes

"This one, I think it's pretty good." Chen Huai came out of the fitting room, wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, with no pattern on the front and back, and a decent cut. It was more slim than what he usually wears. He thought he was a little mature Temperament bonus "Can you see it?"

"Well. That's it." Qin Chuji sighed, "Let's go, it's almost time."

When Qin Chuji got into the car, he paused slightly, leaned on the car door to get in, and moved very quickly, but was still seen by Chen Huai

"The wound hurts, can you drive? Otherwise, let's take a taxi..."

"It's okay, just sit in." Qin Chuji sat firmly and waved at him, "Get in the car."

This little injury is still painful, and his grandfather can beat him back to the ward from here

The car turned on the Ring Expressway, and the greenery on both sides of the bank gradually became dense. When it stopped, it seemed that it had entered a forest park. Through the overlapping branches, you could see the outline of a small single-family building, which was quiet and quiet

Chen Huai suddenly became nervous, unconsciously clutching the corner of his clothes, "Brother, who are the people here today?"

"Friends who have played together since elementary school." Qin Chuji pushed the door down and came down, "I know everything."

"Oh... hey! There's actually a hotel here..." Chen Huai forcibly diverted his attention. Saying this, he thought, just by looking at the appearance, you can tell that this place is definitely expensive

"Not only are there hotels, but there are also residential areas." Qin Chuji pointed to the mountainside, "Look, it's all in that row."

"Tsk—there is a natural park in front. How expensive this place is. People who buy here must be either rich or expensive..."

"Do you think that everyone who lives here is a winner in life?" Qin Chuji looked at him with a smile, "Not necessarily, a few decades ago, this was a remote suburb, farther away than the villages outside the city, and the people who lived here were all poor people .It was only when a nature reserve was suddenly built that the aborigines’ value doubled, but it just happened to catch up with the situation. They are no more capable than others.”

When he said this, Chen Huai looked at the row of small villas again, and the envy faded a lot, "It seems to make sense."

Qin Chuji smiled and pushed him into the door

It looks nothing special from the outside, but when you come in, you find that there is something different. The floor is made of imitation bluestone slabs, and you can see gurgling water in the gap between the two slabs. A piece of glass curtain wall makes the narrow space open suddenly

Chen Huai usually didn't feel that he had any deep feelings for architecture, but now he couldn't help being attracted, looked around, and engraved all the points in the small space in his mind.

A person came up to meet him in front of him. He was tall and had long legs, broad shoulders and narrow waist. With such a big face, can you move me please?"

Qin Chuji laughed and ignored him, "I'm not late, am I?"

"No, it's enough if you are willing to show your face. How can it be too late?" The visitor put Qin Chuji's shoulders and looked at Chen Huai. The last time Qin Chuji brought a newcomer to this circle, it was Yao Yu who brought him, "This is ..."

"My name is Chen Huai." Chen Huai smiled at him, not knowing where to put his hands, nervous

The man didn't see him, shook hands with him, and took advantage of the opportunity to catch him again.

"I'm so nervous all by myself, relax, it's okay. My name is Jiang Bowang, you can call me Chu Ji whatever you want, don't look outside."

A little physical contact instantly shortened the distance between the two of them, Chen Huai's bewildered hand found its place, and obediently stuck it to the hem of his trousers

"elder brother?"

"Ah, otherwise, can I still be called Uncle?" Jiang Bowang patted him lightly on the shoulder, "Chu Ji and I should be of the same generation after all, it's embarrassing to be older..."

"I didn't hear that you were embarrassed." Qin Chuji slapped his hand off, and pulled Chen Huai to the other side, "Let's put Shen Zhao in there... restrain yourself."

Jiang Bowang wiped his nose, and Shen Zhaogui really hated his frivolous manner the most, "Aren't you used to it..."

When the door of the box was pushed open, Chen Huai was still searching for these two names in his mind, and thought they sounded familiar, but he couldn't recall them for a while.

Until seeing more than a dozen people standing up together, one of them was wearing a pair of rimless glasses, thin and gentle, with a dimple around his mouth when he smiled

"Ah, isn't this—" He slapped his head, looked at this face that always appeared on TV, and remembered the pair that Zhou Nan had complained about, Shen Zhaogui and Jiang Bowang

Before everyone could open their mouths, they were taken aback by him for a moment, saw him suddenly responding with an apologetic smile, and then said enthusiastically

"Don't take the usual path, as expected, it was brought by Chu Ji."

"Yeah, the kid looks pretty good."

"This is Chen Huai. He doesn't recognize his life. He has a good personality."

……

Chen Huai was embarrassed by what he said, so he took two steps back unconsciously, and hid behind Qin Chuji

"Don't just make fun of the child when you first arrive, you can be someone's uncle, can you be sure?" Qin Chuji took him to the seat,

Chen Huai looked up, only seeing the slightly curved smile at the corner of his mouth

Usually outside, how can I see him talking like this, it seems that the relationship with these people is really good

After hearing what he said, the crowd didn't make fun of Chen Huai, and served the food lively

Chen Huai buried his head in his meal.Listening to their chatter, his eyes always involuntarily drifted towards Shen Zhaogui, sizing up that man secretly

"Xiaohuai, what are you doing looking after Zhaogui?" Jiang Bowang looked at his actions that he thought were concealed but were actually obvious, and pointedly asked.

"Cough—it's okay, I...it's the first time I see a celebrity..." Chen Huai was choked, put down his chopsticks and said

Shen Zhaogui didn't care, he took out a napkin and teased him, "Then let me sign for you as a souvenir?"

"Okay, okay." Chen Huai's eyes sparkled, "My roommate is your fan, and I really like you..."

Shen Zhaogui withdrew his hand with a smile, and winked at him, "I'll sign an official one for you later."

"Thank you, Mr. Shen!" Chen Huai laughed so hard that he lost his eyes, and was dazed by his electric shock. He thought to himself, no wonder he is a star, he looks so good-looking

"Didn't you say to celebrate my discharge from the hospital? You don't want to say anything." Qin Chuji suddenly opened his mouth and changed the subject for them.

"Drink, why don't you drink?" Jiang Bowang answered at the right time, stood up and offered a toast, "Our Chu Ji is becoming more and more shameless now, and such a small injury is still going to the hospital? Huh? Commander Qin doesn't know Bar."

"That can't be done. If you know, I will be thrown back to the army for another few years of training." Qin Chuji smiled, picking up a piece of food with his chopsticks

When the topic was brought up here, the table began to be curious in twos and threes

"What's the matter with you this time? What kind of crime did you do, and someone exposed it?"

Qin Chuji glanced at Chen Huai, "It's just Yao Yu, it's still that little thing..."

Chen Huai didn't raise his head, and there was nothing unusual, so Qin Chuji felt relieved, and let them say

A man with black-rimmed glasses was facing him with a nostalgic look on his face, and said

"It's a pity to say that Yao Yu was so good at that time. In our entire department, he was the best. Back then, when we were foolishly playing around, he always took scholarships, took part in competitions everywhere, found internships by himself, and He was appointed by the Ministry of Armed Forces before graduation."

The person next to him answered, "Yes, the old professor told me a few days ago that it's been almost ten years, and no one can compare to him."

Chen Huai thumped in his heart, and from nowhere, a long-lasting pain filled his chest, and he panicked.

The man looked around and was looking at Chen Huai, so the topic turned to him, "Speaking of which, he was the same age as Chen Huai at that time, and he looked very juicy."

The people next to him asked, "What did Chen Huai learn?"

"Oh, I study architecture." Chen Huai replied

"That must be a good study, Chu Ji, do you have a preference for such beautiful children who study well?"

everyone laughed

It was originally just a joke to tease Qin Chuji, but it made Chen Huai restless

For the first time, he had a strong and clear understanding that he was far behind Yao Yu.It turned out that at his own age, Yao Yu was already moving forward with a clear goal, but he was still struggling in circles here, only complaining to others.He has never experienced such sadness, a feeling of inferiority crawled from his mind to his eye sockets, making his eyes sore

The man was still sighing, "It's a pity... Hey, so Yao Yu came out of it?"

It seemed that someone answered, and it seemed that there was no answer. Chen Huai didn't know, he stared at the bowl, tried his best not to let the tears fall, but his eyes were still getting blurred, and the accumulated water vapor was about to burst out of his eyes, which was embarrassing

When the tear was about to fall, a hand stretched out from the side, carrying a spoon with a spoonful of soup in it, and the spoon tremblingly fell on the plate with a crisp sound

Maybe it was because his head was too low, a few drops of soup splashed on his face, and a tissue was stuck on his face

Qin Chuji pressed the piece of paper, wiped away his tears with his hands, pulled him up, and looked at it carefully

"We went to the toilet, it seems to have gotten into the eyes." He pulled Chen Huai out, "Eat first."

Before leaving, Chen Huai saw Shen Zhaogui and Jiang Bowang on the table looking at each other and smiling

There was no one in the corridor, and the little girls who served the food didn't know what they were practicing, and they came and went without a trace, which made Chen Huai a lot more comfortable. He didn't want to be seen by others, no matter whether he recognized him or not.

Qin Chuji walked in front without looking back, grabbed his wrist, and walked into an open-air balcony in the corner, which looked like a smoking area. Once the door was closed, it was a hidden space where no one would disturb you.

He just turned around, held Chen Huai's face in his hands, and gently rubbed his thumb under his eyes.

two more tears

"What's the matter? Our Xiaohuai is also made of water?"

Chen Huai pursed his lips and did not admit, "You have chili oil in your hand..."

"Well, blame me." Qin Chuji was not so sloppy, he knew it in his heart, and didn't expose it, he retracted his hand and rubbed it on his body, and then applied it "Is this better?"

Chen Huai nodded, closed his eyes, squeezed out the last two drops, slid down his cheeks into his neck, and opened his eyes again, the circle around his eyes was bright red, which was a little more colorful than usual, and it was so beautiful

Qin Chuji wiped his eyes with a smile

"I'm sorry... I'm just a little uncomfortable..." Chen Huai looked down, half of his eyes were covered by long eyelashes, and he couldn't see clearly

"Well, why is it uncomfortable?" Seeing him dodging, Qin Chuji stretched out his long arms and pulled him into his arms. Chen Huai's chin was on his shoulder, and now no one could look at anyone, he was being honest.

"...I'm too lazy, I don't want to study hard, and I haven't put my heart into designing. My teacher may not be able to call me by my name, and I haven't won a scholarship. Every time I think, It’s fine if you don’t fail a course. In the past two years, I’ve been muddling around... I, Yao Yu and I are far apart, right?” Chen Huai’s voice was muffled, and there was a burst of warmth on his shoulders.

Qin Chuji patted him lightly on the back, "Why do you want to compare with him?"

……what?I still want to know...

"But, do you think I'm useless and hypocritical..."

"No, there is still time, isn't it? You are still young." Qin Chuji comforted him, and the rhythmic pat on the back eased his mood, sticking to his neck, and his mood was more stable

"I'm not young anymore. In the past, my mother always said that you thought you were still young... Now you keep saying that I feel that I haven't grown up..." Chen Huai said in a low voice, "Are you comforting me? .”

"Xiaohuai, compared with others, I feel inferior. This is useless. You are really young. From now on, as long as you want to do what you want, do it freely, and walk wherever you want, it is enough. Don't be These things are involved."

Qin Chuji's deep voice rang in his ears, causing waves of resonance in his chest. His heart was beating violently, and something was about to come out. If you want to do something, let it go and do it; where you want to go, take a step.

"Brother—" Chen Huai exerted a little force on his hand, and the heartbeats of the two were even tighter. When it didn't happen, I've been so muddled... I've grown up so much, what I know best is to give up. Brother, please give me a push, don't let me have a chance to go back on my word..."

After Chen Huai finished speaking, he felt that he was too strong for others. If he couldn't control himself, how could others do it?He was about to say something when he heard Qin Chuji say

"Okay, I'll help you."

"Huh?" Chen Huai asked, "How?"

Qin Chuji betrayed him, let go of him, and looked into his eyes

"You are allowed to play for the last night today, don't think about anything. Start tomorrow, and I will help you."

That night, Chen Huai may have absorbed a little confidence from Qin Chuji's embrace, and Chen Huai went back to the box. From the beginning to the end, there was nothing unusual.
