soft hedgehog

The two had an unpleasant quarrel in the strange alley, but luckily it did not attract the attention of others.

When he got home, Ji Tong was like a balloon with a hole in it, unable to flourish no matter what.

Hu Aihua specially made supper for the two brothers, and when he heard the movement, he shouted: "Come over and eat sweet glutinous rice balls. I mixed pineapple in the stuffing."

There are so many fruits at home, she tries to digest them.When he came out, he saw that Ji Tong was changing his shoes, listless.

"Where's your brother?" she asked.

Opening the shoe cabinet, Ji Tong saw the pair of sneakers that caused the two of them to quarrel, and felt even more uncomfortable.

"do not know."

"Why don't you know, you two didn't make an appointment to come back together?"

Ji Tong was anxious: "If you don't know, you don't know. Why do I have to know where he is going?" After speaking, he slammed the door and entered the room.

A bang startled Hu Aihua, did he have a firecracker?

After entering the room, before he could calm down, he heard his mother calling Liang Yuchen in the living room.

"Son, are you coming back tonight?"

"Eat the glutinous rice balls, I left a bowl for you."

"I'm not tired, your mother and I don't have to be tired doing this kind of work, please ride carefully on the way back."

"If you don't ride, take a taxi. How can there be a bus at such a night. Your father is out of town, so I'll leave the door open for you."

After more than a year of getting along, the relationship between stepmother and stepson has become like a mother and child.Although Liang Yuchen has not called his mother yet, Hu Aihua seems to be very proud of him, and everyone praises him for being smart and capable, and he is a steady person. Sometimes Ji Tong likes hearing it.

In the evening, Ji Tong took a shower and lay down under the quilt. Not long after, he heard the sound of the anti-theft door, and knew that Liang Yuchen had returned.

The footsteps were steady, the lights were not turned on, and there was no light under the door.A moment later, the bedroom door was pushed open, and Liang Yuchen walked in in the dark.Ji Tong turned his back to the direction of the door, pretending to be asleep.

Liang Yuchen didn't speak, walked to the bed, undressed almost silently, then went to the closet to get clothes to put on, the whole process still didn't turn on the lights, didn't even touch the desk lamp.

After a while, he went out again, and when he came back, he was dressed in the mint smell of shower gel, and accidentally touched his body on the lower bunk when he went to bed.

It only takes a second, but it feels warm to the touch and smooth on the skin.

"Tong Tong?"

Ji Tong climbed onto his bed while he was taking a shower.

Turning the person over, he saw a pair of shining eyes in the darkness.

"Why did you sleep in my bed?"

Ji Tong only wore a large white T-shirt, barely covering his hips, and nothing underneath. He stared at him angrily, without saying a word for a long time, and suddenly opened his mouth and bit his hand.

"Hiss—" He withdrew his hand suddenly in pain, "What are you doing?"

Ji Tong didn't speak, but still stared at him, looking extremely annoyed.

Liang Yuchen had no choice but to lean over to coax people: "Why are you so angry?" He really couldn't think of how he could offend people.

"Why are you lying?"

"How did I lie?"

"You lied to me that you haven't caught up with your girlfriend, didn't you lie to me?"

Liang Yuchen was completely confused: "Did I catch up?"

Ji Tong glared at him bitterly, turned over and rubbed the pillow with all his strength, and vented his anger on the pillow: "You even have an old man who lives in a courtyard house, don't you think you've caught up?"

Liang Yuchen was stunned, and it took him a while to understand: "You went out with me today?"

Ji Tong kept on doing nothing: "Not only did I see it, but I will also announce it to you tomorrow so that your parents and mothers will know about it."

It was just an angry sentence, he didn't miss a single word just now in front of his mother.

After thinking about what happened yesterday and today in his heart for a moment, Liang Yuchen smiled slowly.

Ji Tong was even more sad: "Having a girlfriend just makes you happy?"

Liang Yuchen asked: "Then what about you, is this how you eat when I make a girlfriend?"

If he is still not sure that his younger brother is jealous by this time, the past 25 years will be considered wasted.

Ji Tong buried his head on the pillow, like an autistic hedgehog in the dark: "I don't."

Liang Yuchen's heart softened, he approached him, hugged him tightly, and pressed half of his body against him: "You are just jealous, so you don't need to deny it."

"Nonsense, why am I jealous?"

In fact, he is jealous.When Liang Yuchen first came here, his mother was jealous of Liang Yuchen, and later when Liang Yuchen was kind to Beibei, he wanted to be jealous of Beibei. What about now?

Now I am starting to eat the jealousy of courtyard houses, and I am getting more and more useless.

But for Liang Yuchen, he was willing to be jealous of himself, at least it showed that to him, he was not insignificant, but he cared.

He just lay beside Ji Tong, letting himself hug this soft and warm body, his body was full of emotions, and he still looked like a gentleman on the surface.

"That's not my father-in-law," he explained in a low voice, "that's the person I saved in Yutan Lake."

Hearing this, Ji Tong turned over in surprise, let him hug him, and looked at him eagerly: "It's that... that old grandpa?"

"What grandfather?" Liang Yuchen corrected, "his name is Zhai Qiuyan, and he is not a few years older than my dad."

Ji Tong was in a good mood: "Then he looks anxious enough." After finishing it, he was wary: "He doesn't have a daughter?"

Liang Yuchen laughed: "No, not even a son."

Only then did Ji Tong completely relax, and he joked with him heartlessly: "What are you afraid of if you have a son? Could it be that you can break your sleeve with him?"

"What if?" Liang Yuchen teased him.

Ji Tong smiled and tugged at his sleeve: "Then I'll sew the sleeves on for you!"

After speaking, he raised his head slowly in his brother's arms, and found that Liang Yuchen was staring at him deeply, with thousands of words in his eyes.He suddenly felt overwhelmed, and made a request with a shy face: "You sleep inside, I don't want to sleep against the wall."

The room was silent, only breathing.Liang Yuchen struggled for a long time, put his palms against the wall, and hugged him vaguely: "Sleep on your own bed, it's too crowded for two people to sleep together."

It's not that Ji Tong didn't sleep, no matter what he said, he just refused to leave.

Liang Yuchen had no choice but to exchange places with him.

The two were squeezed into a narrow single bed, arm to arm.Afraid that he might fall out of bed at night, Liang Yuchen put his arms around his shoulders, and Ji Tong presumptuously occupied most of the pillow.

Some people have difficulty calming down and have no sleepiness at all, while others have no nerve endings at all, and they never forget to chat with their elder brother before falling asleep.

"Brother, have you heard about the two senior brothers? I heard that they have that kind of relationship, and the Spanish Department is full of trouble."

Liang Yuchen woke up instantly from the slumber, and asked, "What kind of relationship?"

"That's the way it is," Ji Tong gave him a reproachful look, as if he knew what he was asking, and he was still chatting just now.

Liang Yuchen understood: "Lover."

These two words came out of his mouth without any contempt, and there was even some vague romance and tenderness.

Ji Tong was stunned for a moment, then nodded, as if he thought it was strange to say that.

"What do you think?" Liang Yuchen asked.

"What do you think?" Ji Tong didn't know.

"They have this kind of relationship." Liang Yuchen was very close to him, staring at him, using other people's stories to convey his feelings.

Ji Tong bit his lip and fell silent. After a long time, he spit out three words: "Weird."

"What's wrong?"

"Two guys...kissing and sleeping...I can't quite accept this."

They are all with handles, I have what you have, don’t you feel strange when you meet naked?It's better to be a girl.

The light in Liang Yuchen's pupils went out, but he still refused to give up, pretending to be joking: "We are also two men, and we sleep together."

Ji Tong's body stiffened suddenly in his arms, and he smiled awkwardly for a while: "We are two brothers, how can they compare with us."

The two brothers are not real brothers after all.

Liang Yuchen's arm around him slowly moved away, temporarily leaving this tenderness.

He understands that he still has to restrain himself and proceed step by step.

Later, unable to stand Ji Tong's soft and hard talk, Liang Yuchen took him to see Zhai Qiuyan.

As soon as he opened the door, the old man was wearing reading glasses, and the first thing he did was to look at Ji Tong beside him.

"You said to bring someone here, I thought you found a girlfriend, bring me here to meet you."

"My brother doesn't have a girlfriend, so he didn't catch up." Ji Tong looked in with his hands behind his back, "Wow, you have such a big yard here."

"Uncle Di." Liang Yuchen frowned and corrected, "Don't be too big or small." He introduced to Zhai Qiuyan: "This is my younger brother, Ji Tong."

Zhai Qiuyan nodded: "Finally, I have a chance to see it."

Ji Tong's name is so thunderous, his godson has never been able to refrain from mentioning it.

The leather monkey ran into the courtyard to recruit cats, dogs, fish, and fruit. He couldn't stay idle for a moment. He liked this small courtyard as if he had discovered a new continent. The next two beckoned: "Brother! There are dried orange peels on it!"

The whole ignorant naughty child.

Di Qiuyan was anxious from below: "Don't lift the dustpan for me!"

"I know, I know," Ji Tong made a ghostly expression on it: "I'm stingy." After being caught by his brother's fierce eyes, he made up for it: "Uncle Di is the best."

Liang Yuchen brought tea from the room: "Come down, drink some water."

Zhai Qiuyan sat at the stone table and wiped his glasses: "Where did you find Sun Monkey?"

Ji Tong ran down again, stopped at the stone table, took a cup and drank the water, panting and laughing: "Uncle Di, your yard is really nice, it must be worth millions."

Zhai Qiuyan was distressed by the purple sand cup that was knocked on the table lightly and hard, and said in a bad mood: "You add a zero."

Ji Tong was speechless.

After a while, Zhai Qiuyan came into the room to fetch preserved fruit for him, and Liang Yuchen followed him in, apologetically saying: "Uncle, today is considered a nuisance, my brother is not sensible."

"It's a little ignorant." Zhai Qiuyan opened the locker, filled a handful of everything, but smiled, "But it's very interesting. I'm used to it being deserted. Today is a rare lively place. I'm very happy."

Hearing his tone of voice, Liang Yuchen had a good impression of Ji Tong, and was also happy in his heart. He helped him get the deepest nuts in the cabinet: "Are you unhappy when I come here?"

"You," Zhai Qiuyan hummed "Catch and Release Cao" in a low voice, criticizing him for being too old-fashioned, "not as interesting as your brother."

The reason why he and Liang Yuchen can be so close is because of the kindness of saving their lives on the one hand, and on the other hand because of the close personalities in certain aspects.They are all people who live in their own world and are used to being alone with themselves, so it is reasonable to like Ji Tong.

In the afternoon, he left his two brothers here for dinner, and one of them cooked a dish himself.

Ji Tong's workmanship was poor, making a Coke chicken wing almost set the kitchen on fire, and the finished product was as black as charcoal.Liang Yuchen made a stir-fried three ding, which is simple and tastes good.Zhai Qiuyan made the Taoist braised fish by himself, and it was so fragrant.

As the sun set, the three of them served dishes one by one to the table, lit a big light bulb in the courtyard, opened a few cans of beer, and ate and chatted with the breeze blowing in spring.Zhai Qiuyan told them about his years as a simultaneous interpreter, the story of how he couldn’t get off the stage in public because he couldn’t translate medical terms, and the story of how he listened to more than a dozen tapes for a financial summit and finally stole the limelight in just two hours. He told the whole story about his outfit being ill for a while and he almost peed in his pants. He couldn't get enough of the story, and the two brats couldn't get enough of it.

Liang Yuchen was more cheerful than usual after drinking, so he took over the conversation and continued.Tell the story of going to the wholesale market with his dad for the first time when he was a teenager, because the market was too big and lost his way, so his dad radioed to find someone; told the story of high school going to the provincial capital to participate in the self-enrollment interview and broke his leg halfway; At that time, he was squeezed out of the postgraduate admission quota by the district chief's son.

After hearing this, Ji Tong sighed: "Brother, your luck is really bad."

Liang Yuchen looked up and took a sip of wine, holding the bottle and smiling: "Not bad. When I was lost, I met a big sister who sold vegetables, and she kept confiscating the stall to guard me. I stayed at home for more than a month when I broke my leg. I was fascinated by foreign movies, and at the last moment when I volunteered, I changed the computer to English."

He didn't say that he couldn't get a postgraduate recommendation, but it was probably his luckiest thing.If he stayed in the previous city, how could he meet Ji Tong.

God treats him kindly, giving him good luck all the way.

When it was Ji Tong's turn, he stopped talking, with a guilty expression on his face.

"You are all too motivated, I have nothing to say, I have been eating, drinking and having fun for more than ten years." After speaking, he smiled shyly.

Zhai Qiuyan sipped the wine and sipped carefully: "You know how embarrassed you are."

Ji Tong was not angry: "I am very self-aware, right bro."

Liang Yuchen held his hand under the table, covered it with his big palm, and gently rubbed it: "You lack self-knowledge."

Ji Tong was as startled as a little sparrow, but he didn't know how to break free: "Why don't I have it?"

"You have learned well what you should learn, you are not lazy." Liang Yuchen looked at him intently.

Ji Tong blushed slightly, and turned his eyes away: "You are finally willing to praise me."

Zhai Qiuyan had a panoramic view of everything, without saying a word, took out Wuliangye by himself, and continued humming "Catch and Release Cao" while drinking, seeing the two of them as if they were the high-spirited themselves in the past, and everything caught their eyes.

After drinking for three rounds, the moon is on the sky, and it's time to end.

Ji Tong helped Liang Yuchen, who was dizzy from drinking, to say goodbye to Zhai Qiuyan.Zhai Qiuyan waited for the car with them, stood on the side of the road and told him: "Treat your brother well, it's not easy for him."

It seemed that everyone thought he didn't know how difficult his brother's life was.

"I know." In fact, he knows best.

Ji Tong looked at his brother's reddish side face and blurred eyes, and countless teasing, quarrels, and defenses came to his mind in the past year or so.

He felt guilty: "I promise to listen to him in the future."

Zhai Qiuyan was silent for a long time after hearing the words, nodded slowly, then shook his head again, "I'm afraid that one day you will still refuse to listen."
