Qi Nuliang dug out a wardrobe of clothes, every time he picked up a piece, Jiang Yu snatched it up to unfold it, and then threw it down.

This one is old in style, that one is of poor quality, this one doesn't look good, that one doesn't fit... In short, Qi Nuliang picked out all the clothes that he wanted to take away, and threw them aside, saying that he would go back and buy new ones.It was himself, who pulled out a crumpled tracksuit from the depths of the cabinet, a red jacket and white trousers that had turned yellow.

Jiang Yu rolled up the suit and stuffed it into the suitcase.

Qi Nuliang looked at it and frowned: "When are these clothes, do you want to take them away?"

"I am useful."

"What is the use?"

Before waiting for an answer, he watched Jiang Yu pick and choose again, and found out some of his past clothes and put them in the suitcase.

Qi Nuliang frowned, confused, and pulled out the clothes stuffed in: "The clothes you wore when you were young, why take them away?"

Jiang Yu snatched it over and continued to stuff it back: "It's said to be useful."

"What's the use of clothes if you can't wear them? They don't absorb water when you use them as a rag."

"I'll take it back and keep it."

"...It's really good, you don't let me bring the clothes I want to wear, so make a box for you to pack the tatters."

Jiang Yu was too lazy to talk to Qi Nuliang, he didn't understand at all, and don't expect him to understand those deep and subtle feelings.

After loading the clothes, check the drawers again.Among the miscellaneous gadgets in the drawer, Jiang Yu found the lighter he had given to Qi Nuliang.

Holding the lighter, he deliberately said, "Brother, don't you want this lighter?"

Qi Nuliang came over in two steps: "If you want it, give it to me."

He flicked the flint a few times: "Look, it won't burn, it's already broken, don't need it."

"It's not broken, it's just that the gas is used up."

"I'll buy you a new one, I don't want this one." Jiang Yu made a gesture to throw it away.

Qi Nuliang frowned: "You kid, don't hate it on purpose, just say I want it."

Jiang Yu threw it up, and Qi Nuliang hurried to pick it up, but when he didn't catch it, the lighter fell back into Jiang Yu's hands steadily.Jiang Yu smiled and put the lighter in Qi Nuliang's hand.

Now he knew that Jiang Yu was teasing him.Seeing that triumphant smiling face, he was inexplicably annoyed, and suddenly swept Jiang Yu onto the bed, and twisted his hand that teased him just now from behind.

The thin dust on the mattress billowed up, and Jiang Yu cried out in pain.

"Are you still playing with me?"

"Stop playing, brother, it really hurts, my hand is about to break."

Seeing that he admits cowardice, Qi Nuliang let go of his hand.

Jiang Yu turned over, grabbed Qi Nuliang, and pulled him down on the bed.

Jiang Yu's arms immediately circled over, hugged his waist, and arched his face into the base of his neck: "This is the birthday present I gave you back then, you just throw the drawer casually like this, and you have the nerve to twist my arm.

"I'll tell you, I'll keep it with you in the future. If I find you put it somewhere else, I'll throw it away for you so that you can never find it again."

Qi Nuliang pulled his arm: "It's too tight, let go."

Jiang Yu turned over and pressed on Qi Nuliang, biting his lip: "Did you hear that? Let me go if you promise."

Qi Nuliang agreed, but Jiang Yu did not let go.On the bed in the old house in broad daylight, the bodies of the two rolled over, wiping off all the thin dust on the bed.

Ignoring the dust on their bodies, the two lay on the bed panting.

Jiang Yu kissed Qi Nuliang's flushed face: "Brother, do you know? When I gave you the lighter, I fell in love with you."

Qi Nuliang was surprised, but also a little embarrassed, and murmured: "You were only young at that time, and you know what you like."

"Sixteen and seven." He looked at Qi Nuliang seriously, "It's the first love, you are my first love."

"..."

Qi Nuliang coughed twice, loosening his tight throat: "It can only be said that you have been abnormal since childhood."

"You don't know how handsome you were back then. Flowery arms, flowery shirts, youthful vigor and righteousness, it's not normal not to like you." Speaking of this, Jiang Yu suddenly felt a little annoyed, "There were a lot of people who liked you back then Yes, I think if it wasn't for me, you would have married and had children long ago and lived a completely different life."

Qi Nuliang thought that Jiang Yu said that he was a burden at that time, so he couldn't help comforting him: "How can anyone like me? You think too much."

"A lot of people like it, but I drove them away."

Qi Nuliang suddenly turned his head and raised his eyebrows: "What else is there?"

"Yes, now I think of the possibility of being abandoned by you back then, and I'm still very worried."

Hearing what he said, Qi Nuliang couldn't bear to blame him.

"No. I won't abandon you."

"That year, you left me and left alone. There was no news at all, and I almost couldn't find anyone."

This sentence touched the deepest pain in Qi Nuliang's heart again. He knew that Jiang Yu had been deeply hurt by his departure at that time, but it was not the same for himself.

"At first I blamed you, and I hated myself too. I did something wrong and forced you to leave. It was you who punished me..."

Qi Nuliang hurriedly said: "No, it's not..."

"Later, I gradually understood you." He pressed Qi Nuliang's chest, holding the beating heart of the other party in his hand, and seemed to hear his heartfelt voice, "I know that you are for me, and it is painful for you to do that," Jiang Yu slowly touched Qi Nuliang's face, "I'm really sorry, I was too ignorant and wicked back then."

Qi Nuliang pressed Jiang Yu's hand: "No, it's me...I also have weak moments and things I dare not face."

Jiang Yu knew what he was afraid to face, and he didn't want to bring it up again, because every time he mentioned it, it was a challenge to Qi Nuliang.

He changed the subject: "I went to Guangdong to find you."

This surprised Qi Nuliang even more: "When did it happen?"

"The first time I went there was the winter vacation of my sophomore year, but I didn't find anyone. I found you in the summer vacation after my sophomore year. You were driving a taxi, and when you came back from the car, you always went to the roadside stalls in the village to eat rice rolls. I leave the car very early in the morning and come back very late at night, which is very hard."

Qi Nuliang was surprised and a little moved, his throat was choked, as if blocked by some emotions.He swallowed, "Why don't you come to see me?"

"I'm afraid you won't accept me and run away again... I'm afraid I won't find you again. Only when I grow up and have the ability, will I dare to come back to you."

Qi Nuliang suddenly hugged Jiang Yu, the two lay on their sides, Jiang Yu's face was buried in his arms.

He thought that in their relationship, Jiang Yu was always the tough side, always caring about nothing, regardless of everything, always very confident and sure.But he didn't expect that he would have so many worries, and sometimes be so timid.

No wonder he always said that he could act, and it turned out that he also acted.With a strong and confident shell, it is still the child who is always anxious.

Jiang Yu didn't let himself show weakness for too long, raised his head from Qi Nuliang's arms, and saw three chicks on the window sill.

He went over to pick it up and blew on the ashes: "We went to eat at McDonald's, and you ordered three children's meals in one go."

"Isn't that for making a set?"

"Take this home."

After tidying up Qi Nuliang's room, he went to Yao Huilan's room and later Jiang Yu's room.

At first Qi Nuliang couldn't bear to avoid coming to this room, but after the incident with Jiang Yu, he didn't dare.

After returning from Guangdong and living in the daily chemical factory, he would have no face to see Yao Huilan again.He hardly stayed in this room for a long time, except for occasional incense sticks or a few flowers in front of the portrait.The furnishings in it are exactly the same as when Jiang Yu was in school.

At the end of the bed is Yao Huilan's dressing table, where her portrait used to be placed, but later the portrait was taken away, leaving only the incense burner and vase.In front of the window is Jiang Yu's desk. The bookshelf above is filled with various reference books. There is also a bottle of ink and a thick stack of test papers on the desk.The bed was covered by Qi Nuliang's cover.

The things in this room belonged to Jiang Yu, Qi Nuliang didn't go through his things, and didn't know what he was going to take away, so he didn't do anything, let him find it by himself.

Jiang Yu went straight to his bed, lifted the cover, and lifted the mattress.

Seeing this, Qi Nuliang went up to help: "What did you put under the mattress?"

"Letter." Then envelopes were taken out one by one, all of which were letters exchanged between Qi Nuliang and Qi Nuliang during the two years in prison.Not only did he write to Jiang Yu, but Jiang Yu wrote to him, and after he brought them back, they were all collected together.

Qi Nuliang suddenly had mixed feelings.

Suddenly remembered Jiang Yu's repeated mention of missing him in those days. It turned out that it was not just a simple longing, but also a bitter love that turned love into ashes.And what about your thoughts at that time?So strong and so unbearable, just two years almost drained all his hard work, is it just the simple miss he thought?

Now that I think about it, it’s no wonder that the fellow prisoners said that there was a young daughter-in-law waiting for him outside, and when he repeatedly complained that it was his younger brother who wrote the letter, few people wrote it.

The authorities are obsessed, perhaps others have already helped him see the facts clearly.

"Brother, lift it up a bit more, there's still one pressed inside."

Qi Nuliang simply lifted the mattress, revealing everything under the mattress, except for the pressed letter and a pile of underwear.

He picked up one, held it in his hand, looked at it, and asked Jiang Yu strangely: "I said that the underwear never disappeared after drying, why are they here?"

Jiang Yu: "..."

It's been too long, he forgot about this, and Qi Nuliang caught him right away today.

Qi Nuliang: "..."

After a while, he vaguely understood and raised his voice: "Jiang Yu, you..."

"Brother, listen to my explanation..."

Qi Nuliang did not leave in anger, but looked at him calmly: "Okay, you explain."

Jiang Yu: "..."

"That... the boy is in puberty, so what, he is very angry... Can you understand?"

"I don't understand." Qi Nuliang threw the trousers in Jiang Yu's face, slammed the door and went out.

"Brother...hey...brother..." Jiang Yu chased him out.

After dinner at night, Qi Nuliang and Jiang Yu returned to the hotel they had booked.

The hotel is in Hongcheng New City.Now Hongcheng has also changed a lot. The new city is full of high-rise buildings, bright neon lights, and the first five-star hotel.

The two returned to the magnificent room, Jiang Yu said he was sleepy and went to take a bath first.

He rummaged in front of the suitcase for a long time, raised his frustrated face: "Brother, I forgot to bring a change of underwear, please lend me yours to wear."

It's okay not to talk about it, but when I talk about it, I think of the pile under the mattress in the afternoon, and I feel my head buzzing.

"What's wrong with you, can you forget this?"

"It's not that you have to book tickets for the morning, you wake up too early, your brain is blurred, how can you remember these, and you don't help me remember."

"Blame me." —Yellowpeache—

"It's not your fault, it's my own fault. Just lend me one to wear."

Qi Nuliang suspected that the bastard was doing it on purpose: "If you don't borrow it, forget about it and just go naked."

Jiang Yu gritted his teeth and said nothing.

After a while, he came out naked as expected, and he purposely dangled in front of Qi Nuliang as the thing was swinging back and forth.

Qi Nuliang felt as if he was being hit on the brain, and the back of his head was throbbing, and finally threw one of his own to him.

It seems that he woke up too early and was really tired. When Qi Nuliang finished washing and went to bed, Jiang Yu was already in a daze and was about to fall asleep, so he turned over and hugged him, telling him to sleep quickly.

"When will the contract be signed tomorrow?"

"Morning." Jiang Yu muttered, "Brother, turn off the light."

Qi Nuliang reached out and turned off the light: "After signing the contract, let's go see your mother before we leave."

"Ah."
