It was exactly ten o'clock when Jiang Xin took a bath, and the water was still dripping on his hair, so he ran over to Huo Yuanji to ask for an answer. Huo Yuanji hurried to the bathroom to get a towel to wipe the child's hair, the child was hairy It is soft, with a touch of yellow, which makes it look more harmless. Huo Yuanji rubbed his head and shook his head, but he still didn't forget to open his mouth to speak.

"Uncle, you haven't answered my question yet, I'm angry."

"Be angry, be angry, since I told you to be angry, it's not over yet!"

Huo Yuanqi answered him with a smile while brushing his hair.

"Xinxin, my brother... also likes boys. Are you afraid?" Huo Yuanqi put the towel in his hand on his shoulders and sat down slowly, talking to Jiang Xin.

"Uncle, why are you so strange today? Why do I feel scared when you like boys? Why do I feel disgusted when the villain Zhou is with Brother Xiaohuan? I don't understand."

Although Jiang Xin is about to become an adult, he has a clear and pure mind after being abused and closed for a long time. He generally thinks that all the feelings in the world are beautiful and prosperous.

"Xinxin, the world does not tolerate homosexuality. Not everyone is as kind as you. Some people feel dirty and disgusting when faced with these unreasonable feelings."

After Huo Yuanqi finished speaking, he was relieved that he was not hated by him.But he was still uneasy, whether Jiang Xin really recognized it, or he didn't know the pros and cons of this unusual emotion.He turned his head and glanced at Zhou Songyao. The person lying on the sofa was sleeping soundly. Then Huo Yuanqi touched Jiang Xin's limp hair, which was almost dry, and urged him to go to bed.

This night, only Zhou Songyao was sleeping soundly, Jiang Xin didn't sleep well, Huo Yuanji didn't sleep well, and even Shen Yuhuan didn't sleep well.The three of them had their own concerns, tossing and turning insomnia.

At 10:30 the next morning, Jiang Xin was woken up.He came out with his slippers on, saw Huo Yuanqi and Zhou Songyao banging outside, he yawned, and walked over slowly.

"Brother... what are you doing?"

Jiang Xin was quite clever, and quickly changed the title he said immediately. He was afraid that Zhou Songyao would ask him, so he turned around and poured water uncomfortably.

"Xinxin, my brother asked a carpenter to order it a few days ago. It was originally sent to you tomorrow, but the master has to rush home to celebrate the New Year. Didn't he send it over early this morning? Get connected, come and see if you like it."

Jiang Xin remembered that today is New Year's Eve, and tomorrow is the first day of junior high school.Is this a gift from my brother?Jiang Xin couldn't wait to trot over to have a look, Huo Yuanqi turned it upright and turned to face Jiang Xin.

The simple and clean tender green has white textures, the upper part is an open three-layer horizontal cabinet, and there are two tender white penguins carved on the top.The middle part is a small platform made of white solid wood, and the lower part is a closed one with a cabinet lock, and the name of Jiang Xin is engraved on the door on the right.If it is placed in Jiang Xin's bedroom, it will definitely look great.

It's a bookcase!

"Ah, thank you brother."

Jiang Xin didn't care about Zhou Songyao watching from the side, and hugged Huo Yuanji's neck, and clamped his waist with his legs. Huo Yuanqi said "don't fool around" while duplicity, happily holding up Jiang Xin's body little ass.

When Jiang Xin was in the orphanage, he had no partners or friends. Except when others were needed when they were injured, no one played with him at other times. Everyone said that he was not a normal person and dared not stand with him.So when not in class, Jiang Xin stayed in the study of the orphanage.He likes to read books, and after being here for so many days, Jiang Xin didn't dare to ask Huo Yuanji to buy him books. He would only secretly watch Huo Yuanji go to his bedroom to look through old books when Huo Yuanji was not around.Huo Yuanqi gave him a big and beautiful bookcase today, and Jiang Xin was very happy.

Jiang Xin didn't shed tears very often, at most, his eyes were red, and the tears would disappear before they fell out of the eyes, but now he kept Huo Yuanqi crying and wet the corner of his right shoulder.Huo Yuanqi knew that he had been wronged, so he held Jiang Xin's buttocks with his right hand to prevent him from falling, and moved him from side to side, making the child cry and twitch, very pitiful.

Huo Yuanqi grew up alone. When he was six and a half years old, his parents were in an accident while driving a car, and he never came back home.There were relatives who helped to deal with the adult's funeral, but that was all.Who wants to have a child who can already tell right from wrong, and who will remember his parents for the rest of his life?Huo Yuanqi is very sensible, he doesn't complain or blame, that's how he grew up with hardships.He is humble and gentle, and his neighbors also come to help.He was able to grow up well, worked part-time and studied, and did not fail in his studies. He went to a music academy in the city next to Su'an, and entered Jingba to sing after graduation.

The appearance of Jiang Xin broke his trajectory, and he no longer lived in two points and one line.His life is full of surprises, Jiang Xin's joys, sorrows and joys, and he will be very happy with any small progress in Jiang Xin.He was not protected by anyone since he was a child, but he became an older brother when he grew up, and he needs to protect Jiang Xin well.

Huo Yuanqi had a responsibility in his heart.He didn't want Jiang Xin to be like himself before, not to mention that now that he had his so-called elder brother, he couldn't let him live unhappy.

"Jiang Xin, you're going to be 18 tomorrow, and you're still crying? You're so ugly."

Zhou Songyao couldn't see it, he was crying like a thirteen or fourteen year old child at such an age, and crying very annoyingly.

"I want you to care, you are so fierce, no wonder brother Xiaohuan doesn't like you"

Jiang Xinwo protested against Zhou Songyao in Huo Yuanqi's arms, shaking all his arms out accidentally, and immediately wanted to cover his mouth after speaking, Zhou Songyao quickly grabbed his arm with sharp eyesight.

"How did you know?"

Zhou Songyao was a little surprised, but more angry.He walked up to Jiang Xin in three big strides and questioned him.

"Why are you crazy? It's not that you drank too much wine last night and lay on the sofa in a daze."

Huo Yuanqi pushed him and quickly put Jiang Xin on the sofa.

"You scared him!"

Huo Yuanqi felt his arm trembling slightly in Jiang Xin's arms, so where was his arm trembling, it was the child shaking himself, like sifting chaff.

"It's alright, alright, you can go now, pack up and call Shen Yuhuan back to celebrate the New Year at night, what a fart."

Huo Yuanqi gently broke away from Jiang Xin's hand, touched his little ears, turned around and pushed Zhou Songyao's back.When he reached the door and pushed him out, Zhou Songyao figured out something.When Huo Yuanqi was about to close the door, he quickly resisted it.

"No, how does that brat know that Xiao Huan belongs to his brother? I can still report his gender by talking nonsense?"

Huo Yuanqi groaned inwardly, but on the surface he was still holding on to a smile.

"Ahem, Xiaohuan called yesterday, and I accidentally... answered it."

He closed the door with a bang.Zhou Songyao stood outside the door with a dazed expression on his face. After a while, he gritted his teeth and left.

In the future, you start gossip.

Huo Yuanqi went to Jiang Xin and squatted in front of the sofa, looking at Jiang Xin's small appearance, although it was quite pitiful, it was also quite funny.Tears were wiped away on his face indiscriminately, one piece was covered with dust, and small snot bubbles came out one after another. The more he wiped, the more he wiped, Huo Yuanqi couldn't stop laughing when he saw it, it was quite cute.

"You're still laughing...I'm angry woo woo woo"

Jiang Xin turned his face away from him, and Huo Yuanji smiled and thought, where did this child get so much snot, so he got up and went to get a tissue to wipe the child's snot.

"Come on, blow hard"

Huo Yuanqi didn't feel dirty, it was just that the tissues were used one by one, and the snot didn't stop.

"Xinxin, were you a little snot in your previous life?"

Huo Yuanqi asked him with a smile.

"I said I was angry, but you still laughed!"

Jiang Xin stared at Huo Yuanqi, took the tissue and wiped it vigorously, the only sound in the air was the sound of him blowing his nose.

"Okay, this is what you did wrong in the first place. You are not allowed to answer other people's calls without their permission. This is basic courtesy, you know?"

"I will know later"

He is so fierce, how can I not know!Jiang Xin is angry, I will never talk to him again.

"After tossing for so long, I haven't eaten yet. Are you hungry?"

Jiang Xin looked up, it was already early eleven o'clock, at this time his stomach growled again inappropriately, Jiang Xin was a little embarrassed, and swallowed his saliva twice.

“Okay, not very hungry”

Huo Yuanji liked the child's pretentiousness, and then went into the kitchen to cook.

Maybe it was because he woke up too late in the morning, but Jiang Xin was very energetic all afternoon, following Huo Yuanqi and asking questions.Pasting window grilles, pasting Spring Festival couplets, passing tape, and taking brooms, I didn't do much work in the afternoon, but I asked a lot.What Spring Festival couplets are posted first on the left and then on the right?What does the word in the middle ask and post upside down?Can you go to the supermarket and buy some small firecrackers... the little mouth is never idle.

Huo Yuanqi's head was getting bigger when he talked, but he was very happy. He liked the lively, talking and laughing, very real Jiang Xin in front of him.

The dumplings at night were pork and scallions, small ones with thin skins and lots of stuffing. Jiang Xin ate about twenty of them in one go, which was unprecedented for his previous appetite.Huo Yuanqi looked happy and rewarded him with a can of Coke.The child happily opened the refrigerator, walked over with the Coke and sipped it in small sips, and smiled contentedly, showing his small canine teeth, and his eyes narrowed into crescents.

After dinner, the two of them went downstairs for a walk as usual. No one came out on the night of New Year's Eve. The two of them bought a bag of cat food and squatted down to feed the stray cats nearby.While saying Happy New Year to the cat, Jiang Xin stretched out his hand to touch the little cat's tail, which was soft.After squatting for a while, Jiang Xin's legs were numb when he stood up.Huo Yuanji didn't say anything, and squatted in front of Jiang Xin.

"Come on, little snot-nosed man."

"I'm not called Little Snotty, I'm Jiang Xin."

Jiang Xin put his arms around Huo Yuanji's neck while correcting him solemnly, and the two of them went home slowly.

"Sleepy? Go to sleep"

Huo Yuanqi brought a glass of water to Jiang Xin. Jiang Xin was about to fall asleep when he was taking a bath just now, and now he is lying on the sofa in a daze.

"Don't sleep, don't sleep, I want to stay with uncle to watch the year... um..."

I can't even understand what I'm saying, but I'm still watching the year!Huo Yuanqi patted the furry head lying on his lap, and said to sleep.

The local people in Su'an attach great importance to the custom of keeping the new year. On the eve of the New Year's Eve, no one sleeps in the early morning, and every house is brightly lit. It is declared that if the early morning is observed, the family members can report their health and safety in the coming year.Huo Yuanqi didn't really believe this at first, he didn't care if he was alone before.But now it is different with Jiang Xin, he wants to seek peace for Jiang Xin.Jiang Xin, who has been here for more than a month, is very fond of Huo Yuanqi, or it may be that Huo Yuanqi has never taken care of anyone, and suddenly a younger brother came to make him feel overwhelmed with responsibility.No matter what the reason was, Huo Yuanqi liked him very much.

The Spring Festival Gala is on, and it will arrive at twelve o'clock.When the countdown started, Jiang Xin was still sound asleep, and the host's voice came through the TV screen.

"Ten, nine, eight...three, two, one"

The sound of the fireworks was very loud, Huo Yuanqi quickly picked up the remote control and turned down the volume.

"Uh... Uncle, is it time?"

Jiang Xin still opened his eyes from the noise.

"Well, it's here. Xinxin, happy new year."

Huo Yuanji whispered in Jiang Xin's ear.

"Good uncle, you are happy too."

Jiang Xin closed his eyes again in a daze.Huo Yuanji gently picked him up and walked to the bedroom.

The next morning, Jiang Xin was woken up early, put on the new clothes that Huo Yuanqi put on the bed, and followed Huo Yuanqi to visit the New Year.The house in Qingqiangyuan is old, without elevators, and has seven floors.Two people, one big and one small, climbed the whole unit.Jiang Xin has been here for more than a month, and the uncles and aunts in the building like him very much. When he came down in the morning, he received a thick stack of red envelopes.Every time he went to a house, Jiang Xin obediently stood behind Huo Yuanqi and shouted "Happy New Year". Everyone was happy to see it, and stuffed their pockets with melon seeds and peanuts.

The grandma on the opposite side looked at Jiang Xinsheng's white tenderness, pinched his face fondly, saw that Jiang Xin had no room to stuff it in his pocket, and even put a big handful of chocolates into the hat of Jiang Xin's down jacket, while sitting at grandma's house, Jiang Xin couldn't hold it back anymore, sitting on the sofa, he gave Huo Yuanji a small look from time to time, and Huo Yuanji pretended not to see him, and continued to chat with the old man.

After staying outside for a whole morning, Jiang Xin hurriedly poured out all the food after returning home. Peanuts and melon seeds are not rare, and red envelopes are even more unnecessary. He just hugged a handful of chocolates and put them on the coffee table, sitting on the ground satisfied eat.Before the second one peeled off the layer of tin foil, Huo Yuanqi put them all away, and counted carefully that there were 13 left.

"Jiang Xin, you are allowed to eat two pills a day, and you can take one more this afternoon, and you are not allowed to eat the rest."

Huo Yuanji put the chocolate in the refrigerator, and Jiang Xin said "yes" reluctantly.He loves to eat chocolate, but he has a bad stomach, and he always has a stomachache if he eats too much. In recent days, Huo Yuanjiu didn't buy it for him, and finally found a chance to put it away.Huo Yuanqi looked at his lonely appearance and laughed.

"Xinxin, peel off the garlic and wash the shallots."

Huo Yuanqi commanded him.

"coming!"

Jiang Xin quickly got up, he didn't eat in the morning, he was so hungry, he had to make lunch quickly, he wanted to eat two bowls, no, three bowls of rice.

"It's just the two of us, we don't cook anymore, how about having hot pot?"

The two huddled together in the small kitchen, and Huo Yuanji didn't forget to ask him when he was washing the vegetables.

"Row"

In fact, Jiang Xin doesn't know what hot pot is, but Huo Yuanqi's craftsmanship is really good, any ingredients can become delicious in his hands.

After washing the ingredients and bringing out the pot, the two of them sat around the table.Jiang Xin had a bad stomach, so Huo Yuanji made a clear soup pot.Three catties of butter and two taels of white wine, appropriate amount of bean paste, stir-fry onion, ginger and garlic until fragrant, add water, fold a big pork bone and stew pot.Before the soup base was cooked, Jiang Xin was impatient to lift the lid.

"It's not cooked yet, hurry!" He wanted to cook slowly, but Huo Yuanqi saw that the child was really hungry, so he turned on the fire with a bang, so that Jiang Xin could eat quickly.

When the pot was lifted, put down the oily and tender fried dough sticks, as well as the beef plate, plus various vegetables and shrimp paste, and made a bowl of sesame aroma, Jiang Xin was very happy to eat.

It turns out that this is hot pot. If he hadn't come here, Jiang Xin would have never seen or tasted it. He carefully cherished Huo Yuanqi's kindness to him, and swallowed the hot pot to his heart.

"Uncle, in the afternoon... Let's go back to the orphanage in the afternoon, shall we?"

Jiang Xin looked at Huo Yuanqi cautiously and asked.

Huo Yuanqi understood what Jiang Xin meant. Although that place hurt Jiang Xin, Jiang Xin grew up there after all.He wanted to refuse, but he was afraid that Jiang Xin would be sad.Jiang Xin still doesn't know much, and his mind is immature, he doesn't want Jiang Xin to become numb.

"Okay, brother will accompany you."

Huo Yuanqi thought in his heart that since he could grow up with Jiang Xin, he should grow up well, be kind and gentle.

It's still the same way, it's still the same way.After turning forward at a crossroad, there is a post office on the left, and there are a few green cartoon postboxes in front of the door, then turn right and pass a small park, where there will be many grandparents practicing Tai Chi, and then go 300 meters to the welfare hospital.

Jiang Xin pushed the big iron gate of the orphanage, creaked and called Grandpa Security.

"Grandpa, happy new year, why didn't you go home for the new year?"

Jiang Xin has a very sweet mouth, and he kindly holds his grandfather's hand and talks small things.

Grandpa Security repeatedly promised:

"Hey, good boy, good boy, you have a good New Year too. The day after tomorrow, grandpa will be home the day after tomorrow. If you catch up, you can still come and see grandpa."

Jiang Xin grew up in this yard, and what he is most grateful for is the old man in front of him, who accompanied Jiang Xin step by step through every hour of blood dripping.Grandpa would secretly hide a bottle of milk during dinner, and then take it out of his arms after everyone has dispersed, insert the straw and hand it to him.Huo Yuanqi looked at Jiang Xin with a smile from the side, and his grandfather nodded secretly in his heart. This young man is really kind to Tongtong.

"Tongtong, go in and see the dean's mother."

Grandpa coaxed him softly. In fact, grandpa would go without saying that Jiang Xin would go, and Huo Yuanji would accompany him.He won't get hurt or hurt, and he hopes that the dean's mother can also speak to him gently.

"Dean's mother, happy new year, I'm here to see you. Are you...are you happy?" Jiang Xin took Huo Yuanqi's hand into the dean's room, and all the children in the first courtyard on the New Year's Day were beaten by the teacher We went to perform for the grandparents in the nursing home, and the yard was very quiet. When Jiang Xin's voice came out, the dean's mother was stunned.

"It's Tongtong coming, mom is happy, come to mom." The dean then smiled at Jiang Xin, and stretched out his hand to beckon him to his side.Jiang Xin looked up at Huo Yuanqi, Huo Yuanqi smiled and raised his head towards the dean, as if to say go.

Jiang Xin walked over timidly, and the dean gently took his hand to ask questions.

"Tell mom, do you still blame me? Huh?"

Jiang Xin was silent for a while, but still nodded slightly.

"Good boy, it's my mother who made a mistake before. It's okay. Then tell your mother, how are you doing?"

As soon as Jiang Xin heard her asking this, he became excited, and immediately became lively after changing his low-browed and pleasing appearance.

"Okay, my brother is very good to me, you see I am fat"

"Nonsense, where is fat, eat a little more to look better"

……

Huo Yuanqi came home with Jiang Xin, who had been running for a day on his back, knowing that he was tired, and was afraid that he would fall asleep in the wind, so he talked to him in a soft voice.

"Our Xinxin has really grown up."

"That's right, I'm fat, and I've grown up. If you don't believe me, let's go home and measure it."

Jiang Xin lay on Huo Yuanqi's back, swinging his legs, and his hands were not idle. He touched the tip of Huo Yuanqi's shoulder bones for a while, and put his hands under Huo Yuanqi's hat for warmth. They are not honest.

He's not that mature yet, so he can't understand the meaning of Huo Yuanji's words, but so what, sooner or later he will understand.

"Okay, go home and measure."
