The Blaze of Xueba

Boyhood (27)

Zhou Yan was itchy from being pinched by Li Lie, who knew that Li Lie had more hands than centipedes, just as he let go of his neck, he started to tickle Zhou Yan's waist again when he was unaware, making Zhou Yan dumbfounded.

Zhou Yan held the fragile soy sauce bottle in one hand, and could barely fight with only one hand. He felt that he was under attack, but Li Lie was very aggressive, and he refused to let go, and kept teasing him.

Li Lie said, "Call me brother, and I will spare you."

Zhou Yan endured the humiliation and shouted, "Brother, brother, stop making trouble, I have to pay the bill."

Li Lie felt very satisfied, so he let go. Seeing that Zhou Yan was not angry at all, and seeing that his face was ruddy, shy and handsome, he couldn't help himself, and wrapped his arms around his waist, taking advantage of it.

Under Zhou Yan's glaring eyes, he reluctantly let go, and the big tail urged him wolfishly, "Go and pay the bill, it's getting late, let's go home early."

Li Lie guessed that Zhou Yan would invite him to go home together, so he said first, "By the way, you go back first, I have something to do, so I'll go first." Then this guy disappeared at the speed of light with a bottle of soy sauce in his arms.

Zhou Yan has already guessed that Li Lie's home is not in that community.He felt a sense of loss, and after walking a certain distance, he found that his face was still red and hot, and he didn't feel cold all the way, and he hummed a little song happily.

Happy.

Nostalgia because of happiness.

Only then did he understand why he came out. It turned out that he was longing for a chance to meet in the crowd.

Did not expect to actually meet.

Li Lie—Zhou Yan held the soy sauce bottle with a bright smile on his lips.

Li Lie went home and put the soy sauce he just bought in the kitchen. Grandma was rolling out the dough, Li Zhi was helping with the housework, and Li Huafeng hadn't come back yet.

"Brother, you're back!" Li Zhi was cleaning the window, jumped off the stool, and looked at Li Lie with joy.

Li Lie snatched the rag, "It's so tall, you can just ask brother to do it, what if you fall down."

Li Zhi said with a smile, "Brother, it's Chinese New Year, so don't be too busy. I've already done the housework. Can you always rest?"

Li Lie turned around and saw that the house was really clean, so he couldn't help nodding.He said, "Tomorrow you put on the new clothes I bought for you, do you know?"

"I know, I know, you are a mother-in-law. You have whispered several times." Li Zhi has no interest in celebrating the New Year or wearing new clothes, but seeing Li Lie is so interested, she thinks that her brother has paid too much for this family, and she doesn't want to let it go. He was unhappy during the Chinese New Year, so he pretended to be very happy, and diligently cleaned and cleared the windows and sundries at home.

But Li Lie couldn't be idle the most. He went to the kitchen to help Mrs. Li cook. Mrs. Li's hearing and eyesight have been bad in recent years, which is a sign of Alzheimer's disease. Li Lie usually does all the work by himself. Don't dare to let this fragile old lady interfere.

Li Lie said to Li Shi, "Grandma, let me come. You and Li Zhi sit for a while, and the dumplings will be ready soon."

Li muttered, "I don't know if your dad will come back today?"

Li Lie just finished making the dumplings, and replied calmly, "Let's eat first, and leave a portion for him."

Mrs. Li said, "For such a big man, he has no idea at all, and he is not at home during the Chinese New Year!"

Li Lie's ears were callused and he began to endure Li's cursing at Li Huafeng like a convulsion. After a while, Li Lie got used to it and became numb. He silently started to cook and boil dumplings.

Zhou Yan's family sits together to eat New Year's Eve dinner on the night of New Year's Eve. For Zhou Yan, this kind of meal is no different from the usual meal.Cheng Fang said to Zhou Yan, "Son, come watch the Spring Festival Gala with us later."

Zhou Yan felt that there was no more boring and lengthy program than the Spring Festival Gala, but he was submissive to the fear of fucking in his bones and obedience to orders, so he nodded, "Okay."

After eating and tidying up, it was eight o'clock. Cheng Fang changed the station to the central one, which happened to be the opening song that was so popular.An hour later, Cheng Fang, the initiator and attendant, was impatiently playing with her mobile phone, chatting very enthusiastically with her girlfriends from all over the world.

Two hours later, when the third sketch came on stage, Zhou Yan yawned a lengthy yawn. He couldn't hold it anymore and said he wanted to sleep. Cheng Fang nodded, "Go, there is no good-looking one in this year's Spring Festival Gala, go to bed early, I have to get up early tomorrow to celebrate the New Year!"

So there were only Cheng Fang and Zhou Shuzhi in the living room, Cheng Fang plunged into the phone, and only Zhou Shu was the only one smiling at the screen, embarrassed and deserted.

Zhou Yan went back to the room and lay down on the bed tiredly. After half a day, he felt bored again, so he took out an old Murakami book from under the bed to read. After reading, he got tired and put it back again. At thirty he felt lonely for the first time.

He took out his mobile phone to listen to music and watch anime, and felt bored after an hour. When he walked out of the room, he saw that his mother had dozed off on the sofa, and his father was watching TV alone. He felt a little pitiful, so he ran for a drink. He brought hot tea to his father, took a blanket to cover his mother, and finally watched the Spring Festival Gala with his father until twelve o'clock. The end of the show was the annual ending song "Unforgettable Tonight".

Zhou Shuzhi set off a small firecracker at the door to show that this year's New Year's Eve is complete, to get rid of the old and welcome the new year.Then one family at a time started setting off firecrackers at their doorsteps, and the sound of crackling firecrackers was heard in the distance.

"Go to bed, son." Zhou Shuzhi said kindly to Zhou Yan.

Zhou Yan nodded lightly and returned to the room.

He picked up the phone subconsciously and found that there were many blessing text messages, most of which were sent in groups, only a few short ones were not copied and pasted, and there was a big smiley face at the end of each sentence.

Zhou Yan replied: Thank you for your blessing.But what are you?

After a few minutes of no reply, Zhou Yan was about to put down his phone to sleep, but the phone rang suddenly. Zhou Yan picked it up in a panic and heard Li Lie's thunderous voice, "You asked me who I am, and you didn't even know your brother's number Don't save it!"

Zhou Yan also heard the sound of crackling firecrackers on the other end of the phone, and he said, "Now I know, okay, bro."

Li Lie's anger gradually subsided, "Zhou Yan, congratulations on being one year older."

Zhou Yan, "I will always be younger than you."

Li Lie, "..."

Zhou Yan pursed his lips and breathed out, "Li Lie, Happy New Year!"

Li Lie laughed and said, "Let's have fun, let's see each other next year. For the New Year's Eve, you have to eat a lot, but don't eat so much that your brother can't recognize it, otherwise who will want you by then."

Zhou Yan smiled, "That's not right, we two stinky skins, don't dislike each other."

Li Lie ignored him, and continued to laugh, "Zhou Yan, prepare to welcome brother next year, with a new look, a new look."

Zhou Yan thinks he is long-winded, "I know, I know, if you don't show off in front of me, you will twitch all day long, and you won't let me go on New Year's Eve, I will remember, you will be my enemy in the coming year."

Li Lie didn't speak for a while, Zhou Yan was surprised, he asked, "You won't be angry, right?"

Li Lie smiled, "How is that possible? Didn't I say that I wouldn't be angry if you killed me?"

Zhou Yan paused for a while, "Then why didn't you speak just now?"

Li Lie, "I miss you."

These three words made Zhou Yan blush at a loss, and he fell silent.

Li Lie's tone was quite ruffian, "I miss you every day, as long as I don't see you for a day, I feel uncomfortable all over, just like I just wanted to see you even if I heard your voice, I miss you like crazy - what, this is I just read a novel, isn't it meaty?"

Zhou Yan said, "It's disgusting." When Li Lie said the first half, he believed it to be true, and almost wanted to run up to him and seal his mouth with his hands, but when the language changed, he was somehow disappointed.

Seeing that it was getting late, Li Lie said, "Hang up first."

Zhou Yan, "Why should I hang up first?"

Li Lie, "In the future, if I call you or you call me, I will wait until you hang up first, because I won't hang up on you."

Zhou Yan, "Which novel are you talking about?"

Li Lie said seriously in a low voice, "My sincerity."

Zhou Yan was so frightened that he quickly hung up the phone. He, he, he—now he really couldn't tell which of Li Lie's words was true and which was false... He put down his phone with a lot of thoughts, and heard the firecrackers outside the window. The lingering sound is still ringing intermittently.

Another year passed in a blink of an eye.

Time flies.

After Li Lie finished setting off the firecrackers, he cleaned up the mess at home. Li Huafeng still cooperated and put on a peaceful appearance. Several people gathered together on a table, barely showing a New Year's appearance.

This year finally passed without any risk.

But what about next year?

What about next year?

Years make people worry, and only a beautiful woman can relieve them. After Li Lie and Zhou Yan talked on the phone, he really felt better, and he also went to rest when the night was darker.

Tossing and turning, unable to sleep, in the middle of the night, he reached for his phone and saw that it was three o'clock. Li Lie suddenly thought of what Zhou Yan told him last time about being attacked and suffering. He also said that he was illiterate. He couldn't sleep anyway, so he just turned on the phone Check it out online.

It doesn't matter if you don't check it, check it, he almost broke the phone, Zhou Yan, this boy...!Li Lie gritted his teeth and blurted out, "What an idiot!"

Ever since Li Lie could remember, he had never been loved by his parents. He didn't have much contact with intimate physical behaviors. He touched Li Zhi's head most of the time. He never touched him again after he grew up. Violent" friendship, unless he has to, generally avoids girls, thinking that they are troublesome, and their behavior is very trivial and troublesome.

He can only be gentle with Zhou Yan. He hasn't read many literature books, and he doesn't read bullshit romance novels. The most fantasies about Zhou Yan are shaking hands and hugging him. He really doesn't know about other deeper things.

After calming down for a while, he wondered how Zhou Yan's serious young master knew so many ways. Could it be that he, he... Li Lie seemed to see some kind of hope, and he blushed and told himself that he was looking at these for a better relationship with Zhou Yan in the future. Development is for love!

……

After some tangling, Li Lie wrapped himself in the quilt, blushing and heartbeating in shame, and began to explore the "knowledge" he didn't know.Fortunately, they were all animations, and the paintings were more beautiful. Li Lie was short of breath and almost died suddenly on the night of the New Year's Eve.

He didn't know he was so sensitive.

Regarding the issue of orientation, Li Lie didn't know why he was not interested in the relationship between men and women by nature, and of course he didn't have much feeling for men.

What matters is not whether that person is a man or a woman, what matters is that that person is you.

Because it's you, everything works.

Li Lie didn't fall asleep until dawn, the image of spring lingering in his mind, he murmured, "Whatever happens, I have to be Gong." He, who called himself Gong, had a sweet dream.

Outside the window, the streets and houses are covered with goose feather snow, and the snow on the first day of the new year is clear and clean, which heralds the beginning of a good year.
