old age

It's another night between ears and temples.

Day after day, day after day, countless days and nights passed like this.Looking back at those few years, no matter in what sense, it was a rare good time in my life.They stayed in the ivory tower, the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting hadn't left their hands, and they tried their daily necessities with love.When I had less homework, I would walk side by side in the streets and alleys of the city, and when I was tired, I would sit at a stall on the side of the road, watching the children running and frolicking, exchanging glances, and reminding me of the teenage years we spent together.Before the exam, stay in the small nest to review, look at the people around you, know that no matter how long the future is, there will always be someone who will accompany you to the other side and the distance, and the tiredness and exhaustion will subside.In those small, brightly shining time, even the occasional quarrel is sweet, and between compromise and concession, there is also a different kind of love.

In the summer vacation of his junior year, Ji Kaiyang took Yi Chen back home. After graduating from senior high school, Zhang Yun returned the rented house and they moved back to Ruijing Garden.It didn't mention the special relationship between the two, it was just an ordinary visit.Ji Kaiyang has mentioned Yi Chen to Zhang Yun consciously or unconsciously in the past few years. Zhang Yun doesn't know about their cohabitation, but knows that Yi Chen is also studying in university in S City.

In the past few years, Zhang Yun has never let go. When Ji Kaiyang said, she just listened and didn't talk to her.This year, I asked two more questions.Ji Kaiyang took the opportunity to say that Yi Chen wanted to come to see her at home for two days. Zhang Yun hesitated for a long time, but finally agreed.It wasn't the child's fault at the beginning, and Yi Chen was also a victim. Zhang Yun knew it well, but the hurdle in her heart was too difficult to get over.But now things have been going on for so long, and since she was a child she watched and grew up with, for a long time, Yi Chen and Ji Kaiyang were the same to her, they were both a piece of her heart.

The atmosphere that day was not very bright and pleasant, but it was generally harmonious. Zhang Yun prepared a table of dishes, all of which were Yi Chen's favorite flavors.

Yi Chen called her mother, Zhang Yun responded in a low voice, turned her back, and tears fell.

"I'm actually a little nervous today." After dinner, Ji Kaiyang sent him to wait for the bus outside the community.

"I can tell." Ji Kaiyang added, "But why are you still nervous after eating? Your face is stiff? Are you cold?"

"It's not cold." Yi Chen smiled silently, and said after walking for a while, "Ji Kaiyang, I'm a little scared. I..., my mother treats me so well, I feel very sorry for her. But I can't help it." With you, I..."

"I brought you here to make you feel at ease. Why did it have the opposite effect?" Ji Kaiyang sighed and squeezed his hand, "I know, I know. I can't say it for a while now , When the time is right, I will tell her, don’t worry. It may be difficult at the beginning, but it will pass.”

His palms are too soft, Yi Chen doesn't want to let go, and he can't let go, even though he thinks that Zhang Yun still has unshakable worries in his heart, he still smiles, turns to hold his hands tightly, and nods, "Yeah ,good."

"Why do you feel a little thinner than when you were on vacation? Just tell me what you want to eat, and you don't gain weight at home. How can the school food be better than home?"

When Yi Chen came over that day, Ji Kaiyang went out to buy shrimp, and only Zhang Yun was there.

"Not thin." Yi Chen handed over the newly bought pumpkin cake, "This is good for the stomach."

Zhang Yun had stomach problems for many years, and they couldn't take care of them going to university in other places. Zhang Yun and Ji Kaiyang didn't mention it much when they called, but a few days ago, they still saw Zhang Yun taking medicine.

"It's been a problem for so many years, and you children have to worry about it." Zhang Yun smiled, the wrinkles at the corners of her eyes were thin and dense, she really lost weight.

"Since we are children, of course we should worry about you." Yi Chen remembered the professor who died of a sudden cerebral hemorrhage in the school last semester, and said, "You should also pay more attention to your health and go for regular checkups."

"Kai Yang always said the same thing. He had an argument with me about this two days ago. I know my own body. It's fine. After the new year, the school will arrange a physical examination." Zhang Yun responded to him and went to the kitchen A plate of glutinous rice cakes was brought out, "Come, eat some, just fried."

Yi Chen dipped the glutinous rice cakes in white sugar and ate them, and Zhang Yun sat aside and peeled pears for him, "I came over after breakfast, don't peel it."

"This pear was sent by a student's parent. I grew it at home. It's very sweet. Kai Yang has been fine all day, so he ate half a box."

Zhang Yun ignored his refusal, and continued to ask, "How close are you to Kaiyang School? Do you see them often?"

"Well, it's okay." Yi Chen said calmly.

"You two brothers have a good relationship, that's what it should be. We've known each other since birth, so what's the difference? I was wrong a few years ago. When I was in my third year of high school, Kai Yang sometimes went to see you, right? I also heard him hiding at night. Calling in the bedroom, afraid that I will be unhappy and have to sneak around." She handed the peeled pear to Yi Chen, and continued, "It was all my fault at the time, the adults were not good, and made it difficult for your children. I am too good-faced , I feel ashamed, I don't even want to see you anymore, now that I think about it, I'm really sorry for you..." She was choked up as she spoke, looking very shy.

Seeing her crying, Yi Chen panicked for a moment, and hurriedly gave her a tissue, "Mom, you, you didn't, you didn't apologize to me, you have always been very kind to me, please don't say that, if you really have something to apologize for, it's okay I'm sorry for you."

Zhang Yun gradually calmed down and pressed the corners of his eyes, "You child, what are you sorry for?"

Yi Chen sat back on the sofa, and said again after a while, "I'm sorry for you..."

"I see that you brothers are not affected by me, and I'm happy." Zhang Yun smiled and shook her head, "Okay, okay, once I mention you, you still feel sad, so let's not talk about it. By the way, you and Kai Yang came closer, have you seen his girlfriend?"

"What?" Yi Chen hadn't calmed down just now, another thunderbolt fell, and Zhang Yun thought it was surprise when it landed in Zhang Yun's eyes.

"You don't know?" Zhang Yun said, "He is at home, and often laughs inexplicably. He called the door that day, and the tone was coaxing. I asked later, and he said yes. In the future Tell me again, it's mysterious. Don't you know?"

"I don't know," Yi Chen insisted.

"You don't even know? You don't know what kind of girl she is." After the black-bone chicken was cooked, Zhang Yun got up and went to the kitchen to turn off the fire, returned to the living room, and asked Yi Chen, "You are too old to start school." It's four, I heard from Kai Yang that if you can get the school's postgraduate qualification, you will still be studying at F University?"

Yi Chen nodded, "Well, it's more convenient to study as a graduate student in this school, and the ranking of our department is not bad."

"That's pretty good." Zhang Yun said, "It's settled. Do you have a girlfriend?"

"No... I don't."

Seeing that he was hesitating, Zhang Yun blushed half at first, then smiled, "Is there someone you like?"

Yi Chen licked his lips, "No..."

"It's not shameful." Zhang Yun smiled, "When are you going to meet Kai Yang's girlfriend, and secretly take a photo for me to see. The son of Teacher Huang next door, you know, is not two years older than you. Last year We got married, and his daughter-in-law gave birth to a baby two months ago. The little girl is pink and tender, and I hugged her downstairs two days ago."

"I'm still early."

Zhang Yun shook her head disapprovingly, "At your age, it seems a bit early to talk about this, but it's almost the same. You are already 22, adults see you as children, but you are actually not young. Fall in love, get married In the blink of an eye, it will be gone in a few years. At the latest, Xiao Thirty, you have to plan to have children, right? Our life is fixed, and we will retire in a few years, just waiting for you to have the next generation, so that you can take care of your grandchildren Woolen cloth."

Yi Chen was startled when he heard it, and reluctantly answered a few words, not knowing what he said.He only knows that Zhang Yun is planning the future for Ji Kaiyang, if there is a future with a wife and children, then he shouldn't be there.

"I'm also old, menopausal, and chattering." Zhang Yun sipped her saliva and said with a smile.

"No, no."

"Kaiyang doesn't like to listen to me talking about these things. I mentioned a few things the other day, and he said that it's okay not to have children in the future... What's that called, he already has a girlfriend."

Ji Kaiyang never said this to him. Yi Chen lowered his head and ate a piece of pear, but he didn't taste any sweetness. He just felt sour and astringent, "Mom, I'll go downstairs to see why brother hasn't come back yet."

Before Zhang Yun could speak, he hurriedly opened the door and left without taking the elevator. He descended from the stairwell to the first floor, and then stopped and sat on the steps to catch his breath.

Yi Chen sat on the steps for an unknown amount of time, his legs were numb, when he heard the door of the unit being pushed open, Ji Kaiyang called, "Well, okay, I'll send it to you this afternoon. …”

Ji Kaiyang hung up the phone, and as soon as he pressed the elevator button, he saw Yi Chen coming out of the safe passage.

"What's wrong? Why are you here?" Ji Kaiyang asked.

Yi Chen came over and hugged him, "Ji Kaiyang." He called his name in a low voice, but couldn't say another word.

Yi Chen gradually realized that he and Ji Kaiyang were too naive on this matter, what if Zhang Yun disagreed?

what to do?Yi Chen had no answer.The past few years have been too comfortable. If you don't think about it this time, you can pretend that you really don't have it. The unsolvable twists and turns have come before you, and he is actually a little anxious all day long.In such moods of joy and sorrow, after a holiday, I really lost a few pounds.

Yi Chen would have such a big reaction. Ji Kaiyang didn't expect it. He originally thought that everything was getting better and better. Zhang Yun accepted Yi Chen again, and if he mentioned the relationship between the two in the future, it would only go smoother.But he didn't expect that Yi Chen would feel so much guilt because of this, and later, he simply went less.

"Ji Kaiyang, I'm scared when I see my mother now, I feel like a sinner, I..."

He was on the phone with Ji Kaiyang late at night, worried and anxious.

"You haven't told her anything yet. How do you know she won't accept it? Even if you can't accept it for a while, we will persevere and we will pass. My mother is still the first level, and your parents, and the future may be Others know that everything is difficult at the beginning, but now you haven't started, what are you afraid of?!"

Others are not scary, it doesn't matter if he can face Chu Jing, Yi Bochuan, everyone's accusations and doubts, but he dare not face Zhang Yun, she is too kind to him, She is more like a mother than Chu Jing.Yi Chen was afraid, afraid that even if Zhang Yun accepted it, she would be reluctant, after all, she hoped that Ji Kaiyang would marry a wife and have children, and wanted to live a life full of grandchildren.

"Who else would want their child to be gay from the very beginning? But we are in such a situation now, what else can we do?" Ji Kaiyang scolded him, "Or I'll tell her now and forget it."

"Don't, don't." Yi Chen said hastily, "Let's procrastinate, procrastinate..."

Yichen had this attitude throughout the holiday.It's not that Ji Kaiyang wasn't angry at all, but when school started and he returned to S City, seeing Yi Chen was so thin that he couldn't even hold his clothes, and his complexion was pale, no matter how much anger he felt, his heartache would overwhelm him.

Forget it, it doesn't matter if he's afraid, as long as I take care of it, I should have taken care of it in the first place.Lying on the bed at night, Ji Kaiyang caressed Yi Chen's bare back and thought, when all the dust settles, he naturally doesn't have to worry.
