To rely on others is to promise each other

When the early winter came, Jiang Yubai felt that the threshold between them seemed to have increased a little, and the relationship between the original residual temperature almost fell below zero as the cold snow fell.

In the end, Pei Shanqing changed to a bunk bed. At night, Jiang Yubai would secretly poke his head out of the upper bunk, look at him through the light from the gap in the curtains, and couldn't help but think back to that unsuccessful night.

But Jiang Yubai learned to be good, he no longer cared whether it was a dream or not, as long as he could still remember in his subconscious that they hugged each other and exchanged the temperature of the tip of their tongues, it was enough.

Pei Shanqing no longer often sent him to school to pick him up. Jiang Yubai was frustrated and asked about the progress of him and his blind date, but Pei Shanqing remained silent when he mentioned this matter, so he had to retreat and ask Cheng Pass.

Cheng Guo didn't quite understand this: "How would I know if your brother has a date?"

"Go and ask Ji Xiao." Jiang Yubai urged him, "He must know."

Mentioning Ji Xiao, Cheng Guo's face was embarrassed for a moment, but he still helped Jiang Yubai and asked: "Ji Xiao said that your brother seems to be dating someone recently, but I'm not sure because the studio has been very busy recently. "

Jiang Yubai felt like a mirror, a mirror that was ruthlessly thrown on the ground and shattered, each piece reflected his fragmented appearance, and forced him to face up to his illegal feelings.

Pei Shanqing's estrangement made him see the reality more and more clearly. Jiang Yubai was torn in two, one half fell into a dream, drunk and dreamed of death, and the other half faced reality like a walking dead.

Jiang Yubai really broke out when he saw Pei Shanqing's ambiguous partner. It was the New Year's Day holiday. Jiang Yubai had made an appointment with Cheng Guo to sketch near the library, but he didn't go when it snowed temporarily to cool down.

When the man knocked on the door, Jiang Yubai even thought it was Pei Shanqing who didn't bring the key: "You came back so early today... who are you?"

Seeing Jiang Yubai slightly surprised, he smiled and said, "Hi, I'm Xiao Nan. The last time I met, I was Pei Shanqing's friend."

"What's the matter with you?" Jiang Yubai narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of vigilance, and had no intention of letting him in at all.

"He said he had something to discuss, so he asked me to come to his house to find him." Xiao Nan fiddled with the hair on his forehead, and the smell of perfume wafted from his cuff during the movement, "I didn't expect him to be away, but you are at home, is it convenient to go in and wait? "

Jiang Yubai really wanted to say that it was inconvenient, so he hurried to get the hell out of here, but he still held back his anger and let people enter the door. Xiao Nan sat on the sofa without waiting for him to speak, and poured water for himself with familiar movements. The appearance of a regular customer.

Jiang Yubai was burning with anger, and was about to say something sarcastic, when there was a sound at the door, Pei Shanqing opened the door panting, and met Jiang Yubai's gaze.

Pei Shanqing opened his mouth, but the words were addressed to Xiao Nan: "Why didn't you say hello in advance when you came?"

Xiao Nan was puzzled: "Isn't it always like this? What can I say? It's not that I can't find your home."

Their conversation gave Jiang Yubai the feeling that his boyfriend was cheating on him, and he just ran into his girlfriend at home. It was a remake of the temptation to go home, but the difference was that Jiang Yubai had no status to ask about it.

"I have an appointment, so I'm leaving first." Jiang Yubai put on his coat wisely and walked past Pei Shanqing.

Pei Shanqing hesitated to speak, wanted to grab his arm but withdrew his hand, Xiao Nan next to him took this scene into his eyes and didn't say anything.

Jiang Yubai's sanity gradually returned under the attack of the cold wind, and he walked back and forth five or six times along the street downstairs, constantly trying to figure out how to mess up the two of them.

"Hey, you can go up." Xiao Nan's voice suddenly came from behind, and there was some inexplicable resentment in it.

Jiang Yubai glanced at the time on his phone, and it was about half an hour later, he was at a loss for words, and wanted to ask him: Is the time between you two so short?Feeling that he was a little dissatisfied with desire, he asked in a strange way: "Add a WeChat?"

Xiao Nan was stunned for a moment, looked him around from head to toe, and raised the corner of his mouth: "Okay."

Jiang Yubai went upstairs, and the first thing Pei Shanqing said after entering the door was: "What did you tell him just now?"

"I didn't say anything." Jiang Yubai didn't like his tone of asking questions, and was a little irritable, but after receiving Xiao Nan's news, his eyes became complicated.

[Xiao Nan: hello, is it convenient for me to ask you something?I heard that your brother has a crush, do you know him? 】

Jiang Yubai raised his eyes and glanced at Pei Shanqing, who was acting stiffly, and asked jokingly, "The one who came just now, didn't he stay a little short?"

"What nonsense are you talking about? Eat." Pei Shanqing didn't answer him, and put the food on the table without saying anything.

Jiang Yubai had a plan, and started to set Xiao Nan up, and replied: "I know you, she is a childhood sweetheart of my brother, and the relationship between the two has always been good, haven't you seen it?"

"It's been so cold these days, remember to bring a scarf when you go out." Pei Shanqing said suddenly, packed up his dishes and went back to the house.

Jiang Yubai was alone for a long time, and Xiao Nan didn't reply again. After several days, he sent another message, but it didn't answer his question: "Your brother's studio is short of funds, you know about it. ?"

Of course Jiang Yubai didn't know, because Pei Shanqing would never tell him these things. He has always been a person who reports good news but not bad ones, and is more like an umbrella that protects against wind and rain, firmly rooted by his side.

Jiang Yubai took the time to meet Xiao Nan, and the strange thing was that he didn't feel particularly disgusted when he saw him this time, and those sharp hostility were inexplicably dispelled by two or three words of greeting.

"Their studio is in the computer sector, but there are too many companies of the same type in the market now, the competition is fierce, and it is the first time to start a business, so it is inevitable to be a bit bumpy." Xiao Nan said, "My company can indeed help with financing, but this method It's too risky for them."

Jiang Yubai didn't quite understand the professional terms in it, so he asked in a simple and easy-to-understand way: "Just tell me how much money his studio needs."

"15." Xiao Nan asked him, "I heard that your family was in good condition when your parents were alive. Pei Shanqing is a good person and treats you well. If you can help, please help."

Jiang Yubai did have some cash in his hand, but it wasn't enough to fill the hole. Seeing his expression change, Xiao Nan thought he didn't believe him, so he quickly said, "I didn't lie to you, no matter how wicked I am, I can't lie to high school students." money."

"I didn't say you lied to me, and I don't have enough money." Jiang Yubai shook his head, "I may only be able to scrape together a hundred thousand here."

Xiao Nan cheered up, and put his arms around his shoulders affectionately, "Then the problem will be solved. I can draw [-] from my personal account here, and we can fill it up together."

Jiang Yubai didn't dodge, and asked instead: "What do you like about him? Help him even if you lose money?"

"What about you? As far as I know, most of your parents' inheritance belongs to your uncle." After getting the acquiescence, Xiao Nan teased him. They are completely from their old Pei family."

Jiang Yubai wished he could do the same when he was an adult, Xiao Nan murmured when he heard the words, and Xiao Nan said to himself again: "Hey, but you are right, I really lost my wife and lost my army, your brother He didn't even like me at all, and he completely regarded me as a buddy, what can I do? Brother is in trouble, let's do it."

Jiang Yubai had a flash of inspiration, and felt that this was the best time to instigate a rival in love, and the surprise on his face was just right: "Isn't it? He doesn't like you like you?"

"Let me just say, it's because he's the one who climbed up on me." Xiao Nan joked, "I really want to meet your brother's childhood sweetheart, what kind of fairy is he?"

Jiang Yubai didn't know how to make up for his lies on the spur of the moment, so he could only say: "There's nothing to see, it's just a man, if you can't catch up, change it."

"Sure enough, he is still a lovable male high school student, much more fun than your brother." Xiao Nan laughed loudly, "Let's go, let's go find Ji Xiao."

"What are you looking for him for?"

"Do you think that Pei Shanqing will allow us to invest when he finds out? Impossible. A man's self-esteem is more important than anything else. Of course, we must save him some face in the face."

Jiang Yubai vaguely felt that this was not the case, but he did not refute him, and went to see Ji Xiao with Xiao Nan with the money.This was the first time Jiang Yubai met Ji Xiao, even though they had two close mutual friends.

Without saying a word, Jiang Yubai opened his backpack and showed him a bag full of cash: "Do you want to count it?"

Ji Xiao was speechless, weighed the weight and asked: "Your brother knows that you stole private money, so now you still want to throw the money into the fire pit?"

"He doesn't know." Jiang Yubai said, "You take it, the money is not too much, and this studio is your hard work, even if it is a fire pit, I will recognize it."

Ji Xiao pondered for a long time before saying: "In this way, I will share a part of your shares. Although it is worthless now, what if I can bring you back to life in the future?"

Jiang Yubai agreed. When he came out of the studio, he held the flimsy agreement and felt a little unreal. Xiao Nan also got such a piece of paper, held it in his hand, glanced at it casually, and asked him: "You're only sixteen?"

"Isn't it?" Jiang Yubai was much taller than Xiao Nan, and looked down at him, "Then how old do you think I am?"

Xiao Nan compared his height and said, "I thought you'd be [-] anyway."

Jiang Yubai smiled and said nothing, thinking that apart from being a rival in love, Xiao Nan is quite easy to get along with because of his personality.

Jiang Yubai took a taxi home. Just as he took out the key to open the door, there was a sudden violent banging sound in the house. His movements were suspended in mid-air, and the quarrel was clearly heard in his ears through the crack in the door.

"Dad, I have already said that this studio is very important to me, and the money was originally left to me by my uncle. I did it for starting a business and nothing else."

Jiang Yubai stood at the door with his eyes downcast, waiting for the house to return to silence before inserting the key into the lock cylinder. After a click, the door slowly opened, revealing everything in a mess.

The decorations on the coffee table were scattered on the ground irregularly. Pei Shanqing was originally sitting on the sofa, but when he heard the door opening, he stood up and rubbed his messy hair twice.

His eyes were a little red and his nasal voice was heavy, he asked, "You're back, what do you want to eat tonight?"

Jiang Yubai pursed his lips, almost exhausting all his strength to ensure that he would not rush forward to hug him.
