Small tablemate

Brother... is he asleep? "

Wei Jin nodded and pointed to the living room with his finger: "Let's go over and talk."

The little girl has grown rapidly in the past two years, and now she has reached Wei Jin's shoulders.

"What's the matter? Knock on the door quietly."

Jiang Xiao lowered his head, his voice was as soft as a mosquito: "I'll apologize."

Wei Jin knew that she was talking about the incident at dinner.

"It's okay, you know your brother's temper. He loves you, so of course he is reluctant to talk about you. But next time you can't talk back to your mother, you know?"

Maybe girls are fragile by nature, and they don't come out when they are comforted and wronged.

"I didn't mean it today either."

Wei Jin laughed: "Aunt Jiang didn't blame you, right? You should have a long memory. Just remember it. Don't cry."

"Then you tell my brother." The little girl blinked her watery eyes.

Wei Jin sent her back to the house: "Go to bed after finishing your homework."

Watching Jiang Xiao go back to the room, Wei Jin turned around and saw Chen Ke leaning against the door frame.

"Have you seen it all?"

Chen Ke nodded: "Do you want to silence it?"

"You are so beautiful. Hurry up and go back to the house." Wei Jin casually gave him a brainstorm.

Chen Ke covered her head, followed in, and closed the door.

"I won't go tomorrow. Please ask me for a leave."

Wei Jin was a little surprised by this request.

As for what Chen Ke was going to do, Wei Jin didn't want to ask.He has always believed that people should have some secrets of their own.As long as Chen Ke didn't want to talk, he wouldn't ask.

Chen Kezai looked carefully at the notebook that Wei Jin specially organized for him, and said while reading, "I have no reason to panic today."

"Did you not rest well or did you feel like something was going to happen?"

Chen Ke bowed his head in silence for a while, and said, "What's going to happen?"

For a while, the two of them went their separate ways, and both chose to avoid this topic.

"Ke'er, I think you're pushing yourself too hard."

"not at all."

"You make me feel bad."

Chen Ke closed the book and smiled at Wei Jin: "Then continue to feel distressed. Or like this——"

He walked up to Wei Jin, and pressed a kiss on the other's lips aggressively.

Eyes like torches.

"You might try to reassure yourself."

Wei Jin has always had no resistance to such Chen Ke, before and now.

"Brother, good night."

Wei Jin smiled and watched Chen Ke fall asleep with his own eyes.After a long time, he leaned down and gave a good night kiss: "Good night, my little cutie."

The next day, Wei Jin hurriedly said goodbye to Chen Ke who had been busy in the kitchen for a while, and rode his bicycle to school.

Seeing Wei Jin alone for the first time, everyone was more or less curious.After morning self-study, Xun Tianche came over and asked, "Where's Da Ke? Is he sick?"

"I'm not sick. I'm at home."

"You two lived together yesterday?!" Xun Tianche's voice suddenly rose an octave.

Wei Jin picked out his ears: "Why are you screaming again and I'll pull out your tongue."

Xun Tianche looked around and lowered his voice: "No. Why didn't he come? Did something happen to Aunt Jiang?"

"Yes, and no."

"Aren't you kidding me?"

Wei Jin sighed: "Chen Ke feels that Aunt Jiang is prone to accidents recently. She said she should stay at home."

Xun Tianche faced him and clicked his tongue: "I should say that you have a big heart."

"how?"

"You let him stay at home alone, aren't you afraid that he will try to kill you in 360 ways?!"

Wei Jin was silent suddenly, he thought of Chen Ke who said with inexplicable confidence last night that he could try to believe in himself.

"He will not."

Xun Tianche looked at him in shock: "Go crazy."

Wei Jin smiled: "Maybe. Go back to class and think in a better direction."

"Okay!" Xun Tianche patted the table, lifted his buttocks and returned to his seat.

Having said that, it is impossible not to worry.After the whole morning, Wei Jin's hand holding the mobile phone has already showed deep marks.

During the period, Jiang Xiao approached him once, but was persuaded away by Wei Jin with the same words.

Chen Ke was half leaning on the sofa, her eyes fixed on the TV.

Mom pushed open the door and rubbed her face.When his eyes touched Chen Ke on the sofa, he couldn't help but be taken aback: "Why didn't you go to school?"

"I asked for leave." Chen Ke looked up and looked at his mother: "What are you doing?"

"Go out to buy groceries. Are you going?"

Chen Ke nodded, grabbed the phone key and ran straight to the door: "Let's go."

After school in the evening, Wei Jin didn't go home, but went directly to Chen Ke's house.

The mother opened the door, and after seeing Wei Jin, she became a flower of joy: "Is your mother out again? Just called me after calling. Let's squeeze with Da Ke these two days!"

"okay."

Chen Ke cooked the dinner.Even though Wei Jin has been doing his homework in the house, he can still taste that their little cutie always cooks lightly.

"Did you do your homework? I brought it back for you."

Chen Ke glanced at it and nodded: "Give it to me."

Wei Jin gave him his schoolbag, and chatted with him while reading: "What did you do today?"

"Watching TV, shopping for groceries, shopping... It's just a bunch of trivial things anyway."

Wei Jin smiled softly: "Wow, so boring."

"Okay."

"Ke'er, will you still be by Aunt Jiang's side tomorrow?"

Chen Ke's hand while doing homework suddenly stopped, thinking about it seriously.

After a long time, he nodded: "Yeah."

"Okay. Call if you have something to do, don't worry about whether I have class or not."

Chen Ke smiled and continued to do her homework with her head down.

For several days in a row, Chen Ke didn't come to class.My mother's condition has always been good, and it seems that there has never been a heart problem.

After a week passed.

Wei Jin was in school, and it happened to be a self-study class at this time.The teacher sits in the front, and the students below do their homework and workbooks.

The phone vibrated suddenly, it was Chen Ke's call.Wei Jin frowned slightly, lowered his voice and picked up the phone: "Ke'er?"

There was no speaking on the other end of the phone for a long time, only a few indiscernible gasps.

In front, Xun Tianche and Li Shihai covered their heads with books, turned around to look at Wei Jin, and mouthed: What's wrong?

Wei Jin shook his head, and asked again: "Ke'er, what's the matter?"

There was still no response from Chen Ke.Wei Jin frowned and listened carefully.

The faint sobs were indistinct.

Wei Jin took out the earphones and plugged them into the phone, put the phone in his pocket, and quickly said: "You wait for me."

Then, under the watchful eyes of a bunch of people, he hurriedly asked the teacher for a sick leave, and rushed out of the classroom without waiting for the teacher to agree.

Xun Tianche and the others knew what had happened when they saw this.

Hou Ran, who was the closest, still had a note left by Wei Jin in his hand - call my mother and ask her to pick up Jiang Xiao, and let them go directly to Chen Ke's house.

Every second on the way back was suffering.

Wei Jin put the headset on his mouth and kept talking with Chen Ke.

He wasn't sure at all what Chen Ke would do in such a situation.

When Wei Jin ran to the seventh floor in one breath and saw the closed door, he felt a little lucky.

He opened the door with the key, first opened the window to circulate the air, and then pushed open the door of Chen Ke's bedroom.

No.

Immediately afterwards, he pushed open the door of his mother's room and entered suddenly, but couldn't help but gasped.

A middle-aged woman with a very peaceful face lying on the bed, wearing the clothes and makeup that were photographed on New Year's Day.On the table next to it were a letter and a card, a gold bracelet and a silver ring with no decoration at all.

This is probably the only baby my mother has.

Wei Jin took off the earphones, hung them around his neck, took a deep breath, and entered the room.

It was Chen Ke with her head buried in her mother's hands, making her emotions invisible.

"Ke'er, look up at me." Wei Jin didn't know how trembling his voice was now.

Chen Ke noticed the person coming, and raised his head stiffly.

There were no tear marks, but the eye circles were red, and the whites of the eyes were covered with some silk.

Chen Ke opened his mouth, but found that he couldn't make a sound.He coughed heavily, and his voice was so hoarse that people couldn't hear the original voice: "Wei Jin, I will never see my mother again."

Maybe cool by nature.No crying, no fuss, no expression on his face, the only thing that can see the emotion is the pair of red eyes.

Wei Jin was so distressed that he hugged Chen Ke and rubbed his head: "It will be fine...everything will be fine..."

It was only two o'clock in the afternoon when Wei Jin's mother came back with Jiang Xiao.When the sun is shining brightest outside.It was gloomy in the room.

The little girl couldn't take care of anything else, and she was not afraid of ghosts when she saw her mother's cold body.She threw herself into the arms of the warmest mother's unique breath in the past, crying bitterly.

Wei Jin's mother felt a little uncomfortable watching this scene.Both children are in school, with only their mother by their side.But now they have lost the people they depended on the most.

Chen Ke never spoke again after saying that sentence to Wei Jin.

At this time, he was sitting in the corner of the room, tightly holding the legacy from his mother in his hands.

My dear Da Ke, smiled:

First of all, the first sentence, I love you, very much.I am so grateful that you were born by my side.I watched you grow up little by little, from babbling, toddler holding my hand... to now, having your own little thoughts, enjoying the best time of your life.

I am not a successful mother, and I have always wronged you since I was a child.But I have been doing my best to give you joy, warmth and happiness.

You are like little angels.Encourages me all the time.

My dear Da Ke, mother is most sorry for you.From the onset of illness to the present, you always have to take care of me, take care of my sister, and take care of your studies.I am very happy to see that your study has never fallen behind, but has been top-notch.You push yourself too much.I always hope that you can be like other children, free and easy, free and easy... Ah Jin is a very good child, I hope you can take your affairs seriously, there are not many ten or twenty years in your life.Just do it when you think about it, no matter when and where, my mother will always support you.

My smile, mother gave you all the love.In the future, I will be a strong and independent girl, and I will be an excellent person like my brother.I don't force you to go to a top school, I just want you to be happy and healthy.

When Mom wrote this letter, she didn't know when you would read it.I hope you will not be unhappy about this.People always die.Accepting the death of someone close to you is a process each of you must go through.

I love you all very much, very much.In the dead of night, I always thank God for letting me be your mother.

So far, I have thousands of words for you in my heart, but I can't write them at this time.Then say the last sentence.

Thank you, and sorry.

Jiang.

25 chapter

The funeral was held with the help of Wei Jin's mother and sister-in-law.

Chen Ke's face was numb, and Jiang Xiao's eyes were red and swollen.

Chen's father stood outside and discussed with Chen Ke: "You can come to Dad with a smile."

Chen Ke shook his head.

"Then how do you two live? I don't worry."

Chen Ke still shook his head.

Jiang Xiao came out with a crying voice: "Dad, it's not convenient for us to go to your place. My brother and I can just stay at Mom's house."

"Then, can I help you find a nanny?"

Chen Ke didn't want to listen to this irresponsible father's nagging here at all, so he turned around and entered the coffin without looking at him.

"No need. Auntie said she took care of us."

Father Chen frowned: "Not too good?"

"It's nothing bad, I'll go there if I have time." Chen Qingpei suddenly came out and directly refuted Father Chen's words: "Brother, don't you have a brain? You took Chen Yu'an and her mother away at Jiang Lan's funeral? Show off your power ?”

"Xiao'an's mother said that she would come. She also said that she would take the two children back to raise them."

Chen Qingpei glanced at him and shook her head: "You never have a name yourself." She pulled Jiang Xiao away and entered the shed: "Go in with sister-in-law."

Wei Jin and Xun Tianche were on the side.In addition, there is Wang Ze.

Hou Ran was a little apprehensive looking at Chen Ke who was silently burning paper money not far away, and whispered: "Can't he just keep silent?"

Li Shihai said: "Dake has a bad temper and stubbornness, no one can persuade him."

"Forget it, let him stay alone for a while." Xun Tianche finally sighed.

Wei Jin's face turned pale.Since yesterday, he has been by Chen Ke's side, seeing that Chen Ke didn't drink a drop of water, didn't touch a drop of rice, and stayed up all night.

The ring left by his mother was strung together with a silver chain that Chen Ke had carried for a long time, and he put it on Chen Ke's neck.

Chen Ke has always been very calm.Even the day of the funeral.

Then he locked himself in the house.

Jiang Xiao knocked on the door and shouted for a long time.But Chen Ke just didn't open the door, and didn't even say a word.

Wei Jin rolled up his sleeves and stepped forward to knock on the door.

"Ke'er, open the door for brother. Have some food."

There was no response from the house.

Wei Jin yelled again.It's still the same.

Xun Tianche came over and patted Wei Jin on the shoulder: "Why don't you smash the lock?"

Jiang Xiao shook his head: "No way. Then my brother will jump out of the window."

Xun Tianche scratched his head, rather annoyed: "Fuck me!"

Wei Jin put the rice by the door: "I put the rice by the door. Remember to eat."

"If he doesn't come out tomorrow, he will break the lock."

It's just that the lock didn't break.

Early the next morning, Wei Jin pushed open the door with the mentality of giving it a try.Surprisingly, the door was opened, but there was no one inside.

In an instant, Wei Jin only had one sentence in mind: Chen Ke, you little bastard!

Xun Tianche hurried over when he heard the sound, but saw Wei Jin facing the empty room alone.

"..." This girl really|he|mother dares to play.

The window was locked, so it didn't look like he jumped out of the window.Xun Tianche suddenly slapped himself across the face: "I slept on the sofa last night."

Wei Jin sighed and rubbed the center of his brows: "Come on. Call Monkey Wu Fan and the others, let's look for it."

"How to find it? Guys with hands, feet and money, there are many places to go."

Wei Jin's mood was very complicated at this time, and he didn't even want to say a word: "Just find the place where he usually goes and keep in touch."

After having a clear destination, several people went to the place where Chen Ke usually goes.

Bookstores, libraries, parks and playgrounds... basically search everywhere you can find.I even found Lao Xu there.

Now only the south of the city remains.Xun Tianche thought so.The phone was dialed to Wei Jin's number, and he called without thinking: "Hey, Wei Jin, we've searched everywhere we can, and we can't even see a single one!"

Wei Jin frowned, and put his coat on his shoulders: "All right, I'll look for it again."

Where else can I find it?

Chen Ke couldn't find him in his own small garden.

At ten noon, the big bell of the ancient temple rang again many times.

Wei Jin suddenly remembered that there was such a temple in Yuncheng.

Go take your chances.

Chen Ke looked at the reeds in the wetland in front of him. He was sitting in the reeds at half a person's height, his eyes were dull.He clutched the ring tightly in his hand.

My hands hurt a little.

The phone in his pocket vibrated constantly.Chen Ke took it out, unlocked it, and various text messages, phone calls and WeChat messages popped up.

The most are from Wei Jin.

— see call back

——Little stinky boy, you have grown up, right?

- don't let me find you

——I am convinced, little ancestor, please give me a call back

……

——Chen Ke, are you trying to make us worry to death?

They were all sent by Wei Jin.There are many WeChat messages, text messages, and dozens of missed calls.

The phone bill should be gone, right? There are so many text messages and calls... Chen Ke walked out in the middle of the night without taking an extra coat.

Wei Jin did not expect that there is a wetland under the temple.The large swaths of reeds are blown gently by the wind, which has a poetic and picturesque feel.

A certain string in my heart was suddenly touched.By accident, Wei Jin walked into the reed field.

The migratory birds in the wet reeds were frightened and flew towards the clear blue sky.

go one step further.Suddenly flashed in my mind the child's very happy and soft smile that day.

Chen Ke's gaze remained on a mother duck on the lake not far away, followed by a group of ducklings.

When I was seven or eight years old, my mother always liked to take Chen Ke and Jiang Xiao to my grandma's house in the countryside.There is a small river in the backyard of his grandmother's house, and he can always see a group of ducks floating on the water.

He saw that Jiang Xiao liked the fluffy little duck very much, and wanted to catch one back, but he didn't expect the old duck to rush over and twist his calf very hard.

After the half-bruised calf was seen by my mother, nagging was inevitable, but it was more distressing.

For many years, Chen Ke didn't know what it was like to cry, the sore eye circles were the only feeling he felt.

A gust of wind suddenly blows.Blowing away Chen Ke's bangs, the boy's face was always indifferent to the world.

Chen Ke suddenly felt a little cold, and he rubbed his hands back and forth on his arms.

Suddenly, there was warmth behind his back, and heavy panting pressed against his ears, repeating the cycle in Chen Ke's mind over and over again.

For some reason, the grievance in Chen Ke's heart broke out at this moment, and tears gradually filled his eyes.

Hold on, Chen Ke, don't cry.

The breathing of the person behind gradually calmed down, as if he had struggled for a long time. Chen Ke felt that a long time had passed before that person spoke.

"Got you."

"Why are you so naughty?"

"Do you know that I'm going to be scared to death by you?"

"It's okay, it's okay, people are okay."

The last line of defense collapsed in an instant.The grievances that have been hidden in my heart for many years, at this moment, the rushing flood engulfed Chen Ke.

All the unbearable past flowed out with tears.

Wei Jin patted the shoulder of the crying man in his arms, hugged him into his arms, and comforted Chen Ke bit by bit with an extremely smooth and gentle voice.

"Hey, my brother is here. Don't cry, don't cry..."

He couldn't think of anything that could comfort Chen Ke.Perhaps his little friend didn't need any comfort at all.

After a long time, the crying gradually disappeared, and Chen Ke was still lying on Wei Jin's shoulder like a koala.

"My child, I have cried and hugged you, why don't you get up?" Wei Jin pinched the tip of the child's ear and said with a smile.

"Sorry... my eyes must be swollen."

It turned out to be like this.Wei Jin raised the child's head, and gently kissed Chen Ke's eyes.

"Okay. Kid, is it okay now?"

Chen Ke's cheeks were slightly red.The mood that had been depressed for many days improved instantly the moment Wei Jin spoke.

Wei Jin put a black lotus leaf hat embroidered with a little yellow face on Chen Ke's head.Then, through a hat, he kissed again: "Come on, let's go to the small garden."

Chen Ke choked up while speaking from time to time, "Where are you going?"

"I have something for you to see. Oh yes, I'll send Xun Tianche and the others a message."

Chen Ke didn't say anything, and walked all the way with his head down.

Wei Jin sighed: "Whatever you do in the future, always remember that you still have a boyfriend by your side. Otherwise, how sad will your boyfriend be if he finds out that you are lost?"

"...I just want to come out and stay alone for a while."

Wei Jin rubbed his head.

Suddenly there was a tree in the small garden.

Chen Ke was a little surprised, he looked at the tree and took a moment to daze: "This, when did you plant it?"

"A prize for a competition. At first I didn't want to participate, but later I saw that the prize was a sapling. After I asked, I knew it was a gardenia tree, the kind that can bloom after planting."

"and then?"

"Then I went to the competition. It's okay, at least win a tree."

"When I planted this tree, I kept thinking that it should grow up quickly."

"why?"

Wei Jin suddenly laughed, his smile was brighter than ever: "I want to win a tree of flowers for you."

Finish

Two stories

One.

As soon as he entered the second year of high school, Jiang Xiao discovered that Mr. Wu Fan was passing by his class.

More than once, she has heard female classmates in the class talk about how handsome the school basketball captain is.

Suddenly one day, Wu Fan knocked on the door of her class with a cup of milk tea.Jiang Xiao could clearly hear the girls around taking a breath of air, and the tone was full of surprise: "My God! Wu Fan! He's actually here!"

Jiang Xiao pouted, quietly watching what Wu Fan was going to do.You should be chasing the girl you like.

Thinking of this, the little girl felt a little unhappy.

A boy from the school team in the class asked, "Hey Captain! What are you doing here?"

Wu Fan smiled: "I'm here to find a little girl."

The boys in the class whistled: "Oops——"

"Xiaoxiao." Wu Fan's eyes fell on Jiang Xiao who was looking at him with his chin poised, and he yelled softly.

Many girls looked at themselves in surprise.

What are you looking at?Have you ever seen a girl before?

"Ok?"

"The milk tea that Chen Ke gave you." Wu Fan shook the still hot milk tea in his hand.

Jiang Xiao walked over to pick up the milk tea, smiling sweetly: "Brother Fan, please. Where's my brother?"

After Jiang Xiao entered school, everyone knew that the famous Chen Ke was her brother.

"He... is with Wei Jin."

"okay, bye."

However, this is just the beginning.For several days in a row, Wu Fan always took advantage of lunch time to bring milk tea, sugar and snacks to Jiang Xiao.Sometimes I come to send notes.

After a while, there were also a few unrestrained boys who called themselves "Captain's wife" and "little sister-in-law".

Jiang Xiao once blocked his elder brother in the kitchen, staring and asked: "You ask Wu Fan to deliver things to me every day?"

Chen Ke was puzzled: "What?"

Jiang smiled and nodded: "Okay. It's okay."

The little girl's birthday was in time for school.At this time, I was about to graduate from high school.

After school this day, Wu Fan came to pick Jiang Xiao up from school as usual.

When he reached an alley, Jiang Xiao suddenly stopped: "Brother Fan, my brother said he never asked you to bring me milk tea or anything."

Wu Fan didn't wake up to being exposed at all, and was very calm: "I didn't say it in the first place."

Jiang Xiao's cheeks were bulging: "Oh, you lied to me!"

"I didn't. The first time he asked me to help deliver it. I didn't say that it was Chen Kerang the next few times."

"...My classmates are now saying...they are saying that the two of us are..." The little girl's face was a little red.

There is a desire in my heart that wants to rush out.

Wu Fan smiled and said, "You say I'm your boyfriend?"

Jiang smiled and nodded.The little girl has big eyes and looks like a doll.

"They were right."

Jiang Xiao nodded subconsciously, then raised his head abruptly after thinking about it.Accidentally met Wu Fan's smiling eyes.

"I... you... what?!"

Wu Fan kept smiling all the time, following the lights at the entrance of the alley, his voice seemed to blend into the night: "Jiang Xiao, I'm telling you very seriously now. I, Wu Fan, like you very, very much. Would you like to be with me?" Am I together? My princess."

My princess, would you like to be with me? It will bemyluck.

Jiang Xiao couldn't care about what she was thinking anymore, she was full of joy when she saw the high-spirited young man confessing to herself.

"willing."

Then, let's grow old together... little girl.

Chen Ke stood unhappily at the entrance of the alley, revealing a pair of eyes, fixedly staring at the tightly held hands of Wu Fan and Jiang Xiao.

Wei Jin was a little funny, and pulled Chen Ke's arm: "Don't look at it, it's useless to look at it again. You can't call Wu Fan out tomorrow, can you?"

Chen Ke was very cold: "I think I can do it. I didn't learn from that kid when I hit him. I knew he had no good intentions at the beginning! Look! This is holding hands! What are you doing! Jiang laughed that she was only 15, this is a puppy love! "

魏靳见他雷打不动，铁了心要揍吴梵一顿，便也不劝了，直接倚在旁边一棵树上，目光戏谑：“怎么，当初你不早恋啊？小小年纪还抢先告白。 Tut tut."

Chen Ke Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua Shua -- blushed, he hesitated for a long time without saying a word.She looked at Wei Jin very stupidly.

"Brother." Every time Chen Ke said that he couldn't beat Wei Jin, he always liked to call him brother.Of course, it has been tried and tested repeatedly, and it has been tried and tested.

Wei Jin rubbed his heart expressionlessly, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "If you say that again, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until your birthday."

Chen Ke fell silent.

two.

One day, Chen Ke was studying in the dormitory when he suddenly heard some noise downstairs.He leaned over the window and took a look, but saw a very fashionable person.

He hurried out of the dormitory building and looked at Wei Jin in surprise: "Why are you here?"

Wei Jin looked at the kid he hadn't seen for a long time with a smile, and pulled him directly to a coffee shop.

"I missed you. It happened that there was an event in the school, so I came over."

Chen Ke said indifferently: "It turned out that the school let me go. It wasn't to see me."

Wei Jin covered his stomach and laughed for a while: "You're getting jealous now. Am I here to see you? Otherwise, I wouldn't even bring them if they begged me."

Chen Ke nodded: "You are wise."

"I miss you so much. You are the one I dream of every day."

Chen Ke was puzzled: "The two schools are only two streets apart, so come here if you want."

"Too."

Chen Ke stretched out his hand and looked at Wei Jin.

"Brother, where's my candy?"

Wei Jin quickly took out a few pieces of toffee from his pocket and put them in Chen Ke's hands.

The child narrowed his eyes and smiled: "I miss you too."

Wei Jin rubbed his heart secretly, these days, if you are not afraid of a child acting like a baby, you are afraid that he will not act like a baby.
