age

The clock on the wall was ticking regularly, Jiang Nanhui seemed to have been pressed the pause button, his tinnitus worsened, and he lost consciousness all over his body.

It wasn't until the door was hit by the wind that he came back to his senses suddenly, with a panicked expression on his face, hurriedly pulled away his steps, and rushed downstairs to chase Shen Xike, even forgetting to close the door.

Xiaoxi, don't go, I prepared a ring, I don't want to break up.Jiang Nanhui felt pain in his throat, and he stepped out of the apartment building in three steps at a time. The sunshine in early spring and March hit him brightly, piercing his eyes brightly.

In the golden light, Shen Xike pulled the suitcase towards the man in the distance, leaving only Jiang Nanhui's thin back.Jiang Nanhui hung his arms down in desolation, suffering from colic pain in his heart. He had a lot of confusion and questions. He was too wronged, and he was not reconciled.

The sun did not warm the skin, and the viscera invaded the cold. Jiang Nanhui took a deep breath, turned and walked into the corridor.Stepping up the steps step by step, returning to the third floor, holding the doorknob, and gently closing the door, Jiang Nanhui leaned against the door panel and stood quietly in the porch for a long time. From noon to sunset, the light in the house was slowly covered by the night.

Opening the refrigerator and taking out the cake, Jiang Nanhui took it back to the bedroom, sat by the bed, and looked at the moon outside the window for a while.Then he grabbed the cake with his hands, acted roughly/violently, and devoured it voraciously, as if to vent, Jiang Nanhui's food was tasteless, he just simply didn't want to waste it.

Putting the ring box in the drawer, Jiang Nanhui wiped his mouth, making cream all over his face.Lying sideways on the bed, he dared not sleep, fearing that he would still dream of Shen Xike and their past, he was afraid that he would become more and more addicted to the beauty of the dream.

For countless days and nights, Jiang Nanhui was looking forward to Shen Xike being able to rely on him like he did in high school, hugging and clinging to him, saying "forever" in his mouth.What a dreamy youth it is, born for love, without hesitation, if one person disagrees with them being together, Jiang Nanhui will be against that person, if the whole world disagrees with them being together, Jiang Nanhui will be against the whole world.

Insomnia with a blank face until the early morning, when the phone rang, Jiang Nanhui only set ringtones for two people, Shen Xike and An Ran.The caller was An Ran, but Jiang Nanhui didn't answer, the music continued to be loud, Jiang Nanhui moved helplessly and reached out to touch the phone.

Pressing to answer, Jiang Nanhui wanted to call "Sister", but he could only hum the word "Mmm" weakly.

An Ran asked: "Did Shen Xike go back to find you?"

Jiang Nanhui replied "Yes", and An Ran concluded through his decadent tone: "Break up?"

Jiang Nanhui was still "hmm", An Ran cursed harshly on the other end of the phone, and then said: "If I remember correctly, the group Faith debuted today, right?"

Jiang Nanhui was still "hmm", An Ran said: "If you want to go to see him live, sister will accompany you."

"No need." Jiang Nanhui said softly, "It doesn't make sense."

"It's time to be uncomfortable, and you still have to prepare well for your thesis defense." An Ran reminded him, "You also have to think about your own future, whether you want to work directly after graduation or continue to study, based on your grades and abilities, if you choose to work, Definitely could be on Penn State TV."

There was a long silence on the phone, and after a long while, Jiang Nanhui said, "Let me take my time."

"If you have anything, you can find your sister." An Ran softened her tone and said pettingly, "Don't let yourself suffer, Nan Hui."

Jiang Nanhui smiled with difficulty: "Okay."

Hanging up the line, sitting safely in front of the computer, the table is full of graduation thesis materials.Putting down the phone, I wanted to continue tidying up, but a fire was burning in my chest, and I was so angry that I had nowhere to vent my anger.

An Ran is the same age as Jiang Nanhui, in the same class in high school, and also in Pennsylvania.When she was young, she lived across the street from Jiang Nanhui's house. Because he was two months older and had a feminine personality, An Ran strongly regarded Jiang Nanhui as her younger brother and always protected him.

She watched Jiang Nanhui sink into feelings little by little, obeying all Shen Xike's decisions recklessly, and even dared to play disappearance with her.Later, An Ran asked Jiang Nanhui why he didn't reply to her message, and Jiang Nanhui confessed that Shen Xike didn't like him getting too close to anyone.

From then on, An Ran knew that sooner or later, Jiang Nanhui would be injured badly by Shen Xike.Shen Xike is a selfish person, Jiang Nanhui is too selfless in love, the relationship between the two is unequal, such a relationship will eventually perish.

Unable to get angry, he just posted a fire on QQ, clicked on the space in An Ran, and posted a new comment: Five years of youth fed the dog, I really don’t deserve it for my brother.

Within 2 minutes of the dynamic update, the avatar suddenly flashed in the lower right corner of the screen. An Ran moved the mouse over hesitantly, but she didn't know the person who sent the message.

When did you become a friend?An Ran checked the other party's profile, nickname: Sui Shi, male, 22 years old, currently living in Melbourne, Australia.A line of text was displayed in the dialog box, Sui Shi: Is your brother Jiang Nanhui?

An Ran was even more puzzled now, she tapped the keyboard with her fingertips, safe and sound: who are you?

The other party asked again, Sui Shi: Is your brother Jiang Nanhui?

Safe and sound: Yes, who are you?

Sui Shi: You definitely don't remember me, but it doesn't matter.Sister An Ran, can you tell me how Jiang Nanhui is doing recently?

At sunset and dusk, Jiang Nanhui slept half-dream and half-awake for more than ten hours. When he opened his eyes, his limbs seemed to have degenerated, and there was pain between the bones.Sitting up, looking at the photo of Shen Xike on the wall, the night outside the window was pressing into the house, Jiang Nanhui felt bored, and planned to go out for a walk.

After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he put the cake box and withered roses into a garbage bag, put on his coat, and Jiang Nanhui went downstairs with a can of beer.Throwing away the garbage, the temperature at night was cold, wrapped his clothes tightly and stepped out of the community, Jiang Nanhui headed to the art square in the north, where there were many people, he wanted to hear some lively news.

The colorful neon lights, the teenagers playing skateboards, and the violin music played on the electronic billboards, Jiang Nanhui felt too unreal when he listened and watched.He was sitting on a bench in the square, facing the LED screen on the east side of the mall. Cold beer rolled down his throat, and six fireworks suddenly bloomed on the screen, and then cut into a live show that was being broadcast live.

The movement of drinking stagnated, Jiang Nanhui slowly lowered his arms, and Shen Xike's face appeared in front of him defenselessly.This year Shen Xike has grown up very well, Jiang Nanhui has to admit that he only saw him yesterday, and now he doesn't even recognize him.

Bowing deeply to the audience, the members of the Faith group took off their headsets and introduced themselves one by one.The person who accompanied Shen Xike home yesterday was Zhong Fanyi, Jiang Nanhui would not mistake him, because Shen Xike looked at that person in the eyes, and he had it before.

The phone lights up, and new messages keep swiping the screen, all of which are sent by high school classmates. They are nothing more than surprises at the fact that Shen Xike debuted and became an idol.Jiang Nanhui pressed the power off button, and his gaze was fixed on Shen Xike. He stared at it for a long time, then raised the wine bottle, and smiled with the corners of his lips.

"Xiaoxi, I wish you a smooth career and a bright future."
