Diurnal

Fang Ji used his mobile phone to look up Shucheng that night, and got a general understanding of the city that is like spring all the year round. Lying on the sofa in the living room, the room was full of heat, but the curiosity in his eyes could not be taken away.

After Xu Cheng passed away, the only single room in the family was vacated for his younger brother.In order to prevent Xu Hao from drinking and beating people again, Fang Ji would go home every Sunday and sleep on the sofa that was not stretched enough for him.

Halfway through April, Fang Ji had no classes at all, and had nothing to do on weekdays, so he had more time to take care of his younger brother.Xu Xingyao is already in elementary school, and Fang's mother's legs and feet remain unchanged. Fang Ji will pick him up at night, cook a meal at home, and then return to school, sometimes catching up with Ji Shizhou to leave school.

It is said that the third year of high school is very stressful. Fang Ji observed Ji Shizhou carefully in this regard, and often asked, "Xiao Zhou, are you tired?"

"I'm not tired. I'll be more relaxed if you don't say a few words." Ji Shizhou was a little irritable in the heat, and even more irritable when he saw Fang Ji licking his lips non-stop.

After a while, Fang Ji asked again: "Then shall I fan you?"

Ji Shizhou stared at him, hooked his hands at him, Fang Ji leaned over, and was gently slapped twice on the cheek.

As soon as Fang Ji was blinded, Ji Shizhou laughed, his dimples were so shallow that he could make a lot of people drunk.Fang Ji was sure that he was also in this group of people, Ji Shizhou just looked at him like that, and said in a deep voice that had completely changed, "Fang Ji, give me peace of mind for a while."

These days continued until Fang's mother asked him about his plans after graduation, whether he wanted to work in a relative's factory.

Fang Ji told Fang's mother about his decision, and Fang's mother didn't even want to refuse.

"I don't know the place where you live, why do you go there?" The woman said a very realistic point, "He is a friend of yours, and he can take care of you for the rest of his life? Fang Ji, don't cause trouble for others."

Fang Ji tried to explain: "It's the same when I'm looking for a job over there. When I stabilize, I will send money to my family on time..." He unconsciously used what Ji Shizhou said, trying to convince Fang's mother too.

"Fang Ji, you are an older brother, and you will enter the society in a short time, can you be more mature?" Fang's mother held his face up as she spoke, as if treating a child, "And you left home, mother what to do?"

Originally, there was still room to fight, but Fang Ji fell into a daze when he heard the last sentence, and couldn't answer immediately, so he had to repeat again: "I will send money to my family on time..."

Mother Fang suddenly shook her head vigorously and hugged him tightly.

"Mom can't live without you."

Fang Ji thought about it, but didn't know how to hug her back in various ways.

His heart flew away as early as that summer vacation, and the reason why he stayed later was because his younger brother was sick. He went home to take his younger brother to the hospital, and Fang's mother begged him not to leave.

That made Fang Ji feel that it was his responsibility that his younger brother was not taken care of well. He had to love and be responsible, even though he had just turned 20 years old.

Mom hugged him so tight that he finally put his hands around her waist.

He didn't understand at that time what his mother's crying meant.

Ji Shizhou's last impression of Li County was the noisy cicadas, the sweltering heat, and Fang Ji's missed appointment again.

He still remembered that night, before the night fell completely, Fang Ji suddenly said that he would take him home, Ji Shizhou was speechless for a moment, and said that he was an adult.

Fang Ji asked back: "Can't I give it away as an adult?"

Ji Shizhou finally let him follow.

When they got to the station, Fang Ji's hesitant look was too obvious, so Ji Shizhou asked him if he had anything to say.

Fang Ji struggled for a long time before saying: "I can't go with you."

Ji Shizhou didn't react at first, the smile was still on the corner of his mouth, and finally disappeared a little bit. He nodded calmly, and then asked him: "Fang Ji, what's wrong with you?"

Fang Ji opened his mouth: "I must stay..."

Ji Shizhou almost laughed out of anger, "Yes, you must stay and take care of your mother, your brother, including that violent man!"

Fang Ji didn't make any excuses, it's a fact, so he could only say: "I'm sorry..."

"Fang Ji, I don't want to hear I'm sorry." Ji Shizhou looked at the opposite person expressionlessly.

I want to hear you say you want to come with me.

"It's fine if you don't go, it's not me who lost."

I want you and me to get out of here.

Ji Shizhou swallowed the second half of everything he said.

Fang Ji would not go with him, and stayed for his family again.

After that, no matter how Fang Ji tried to please him, he always took an indifferent attitude.

This incident became a hurdle between the two of them. They both understood that they would go their separate ways once they graduated, and it was not certain whether they would meet again in the future.

The last conversation between the two before the college entrance examination was when Fang Ji came back from home with injuries all over his body. Ji Shizhou asked him, "You just decided to come here, right? You're going to die here, Fang Ji, I won't do it again." Leave it to you."

Hearing the disappointment in Ji Shizhou's tone, Fang Ji looked at him pitifully, and even argued that it was not his stepfather who beat him, and the injury on his body when he returned to the dormitory scared his roommates, who thought it was a fight with Ji Shizhou.

After all, the relationship between the two was very stiff before. Fang Ji took the initiative to greet him several times, but Ji Shizhou ignored him. Everyone felt that the two had broken up, and they hadn't seen them appear at the same time since then.

Ji Shizhou didn't leave immediately after the college entrance examination, but chose to stay in the duplex building for a while.

He wasn't waiting for Fang Ji to repent, after all, Fang Ji broke the appointment first, he just didn't want to go back to the teacher's house so soon.

Ji Shizhou told himself not to care about it, but the laundry detergent and fragrance beads were bought by Fang Ji, and now the clothes hanging on the balcony are full of that smell.

Living with Fang Ji for a period of time, there are two figures everywhere in the house, hugging and kissing with unknown meaning on the terrace in the afternoon, I can't think of the scent of mint or jasmine, I only remember the soft lips and teeth, and the boy's eyelashes trembling slightly.

Ji Shizhou didn't want to admit that he was the first to be tempted. He obviously had the most naughty thoughts at the beginning, wanting to see the life of the other party that was even worse than his own, but Fang Ji always had so much love to give, and he didn't want anything in return. Even set aside a little for him.

He just wants more.

The only time Ji Shizhou allowed someone to have something more important than him was to bet on whether he would be left behind.

The result is still the same as before.

Inappropriately, he thought that Shiqiong once raised a puppy, and the woman liked it very much at first, and held it in her arms every day, but later she gave it to the nanny when she became too lazy to take care of it.Ji Shizhou was at the time of rebellion and was often away from home. Later, the nanny was dismissed. The new aunt did not know the existence of the dog. The dog was left in the garden and died soon after.

Shi Qiong always said that the dog was deliberately forgotten by him.

But obviously she didn't love it first, so the dog died.

Ji Shizhou thought for a long time, and finally boarded the bus leading to the town, went to Fang Ji's house, and dug Fang Ji out from the debris on the ground and the sound of women crying.

The afternoon sun shone on the broken glass, and there was nothing intact in the house. The woman was disheveled and kept the little boy under her body, looking at Fang Ji with desperate and sad eyes.

Fang Ji had cuts on his hands, blood dripping down his fingers, and bruises on his cheeks, but he asked calmly: "When will they come again?"

As soon as the voice fell, the "click" sound at the door attracted attention, it was someone stepping on the debris.Fang Ji turned his head quickly, thinking that the group of people from before had come back again, so he put on a defensive posture, and when he saw the person coming, the glass also pierced into his heart in a daze.

It was two months ago that Ji found out that Xu Hao owed a large amount of gambling debts, after which Xu Hao had two fingers cut off, and disappeared the next day.

Fang's mother had no master, only Fang Ji managed to hold her own, and promised her mother that she would not leave, and there was no way to leave.

Xu Hao had already run away, leaving their mother and son under surveillance.

Ji followed Ji Shizhou to the front of the station that day and thought about it a lot, but in the end all he could say was sorry.

If he hadn't met Ji Shizhou, he wouldn't have so much longing, and he wouldn't have a place to go. Xiao Zhou has given him many things that he never had before.

After the college entrance examination is over, the teenager will have a new future, which is [-] times better than here.He has checked the Internet many times, Shucheng is a good city, and Ji Shizhou will have a better life.

He will leave, and he must stay.

But Ji Shizhou is not Shi Qiong, Shi Qiong always says they are alike, but has never really witnessed the growth of the boy.

When Ji Shiri badly let the girl who lost the bracelet think that he had brought it back without a word of explanation, seeing Fang Ji's bewildered and fierce expression, he even smiled.

Never thought that he was the one who fell in first, he was the one who rescued Fang Ji from his stepfather, as early as Fang Ji was looking up at him with his hands on the gravel, the sun fell on the boy's dusty cheeks, but he still looked at him with burning eyes To him, Ji Shizhou regarded him as his own property as early as that time.

Fang Ji is his puppy.

He can't just leave like that, can't give up suddenly, can't not love him.

There were no secrets in a small town, and he had heard it all told as he walked through that narrow alleyway.

So he went to hold Fang Ji's bleeding hand, his eyes were hot uncontrollably, tears welled up, but his tone was harsh.

"Fang Ji, I want you to pay back what you owe me in this lifetime."

In the summer of that year, Ji Shizhou used the bank card that the teacher's family, which he had never touched before, gave him as a three-year high school fee.

The teacher's family therefore knew of Fang Ji's existence.

It's his puppy, how can he not love
