River City Story

Lin Yan and He Zhengxi couldn't tell who was killing the other, and they couldn't figure out what the other's love was all about.All in all, it is a complex and difficult to define relationship.

He Zhengxi packed up his things, carried a backpack on each shoulder and squeezed past many passengers, looked up, where was the shadow of Lin Yan?

His amiable and lovely elder brother said angrily, "You bastard, you sleep on the street tonight!", and hurried away with a crimson face as if avoiding the plague.

Being able to run with a limp, He Zhengxi was worried, wanted to laugh, and felt a little regretful.It's not that I regret that the mess I made just now was too much, but that I regret not being able to persevere to the end.

He Zhengxi, this young man who disregards any restrictions and rules, his boldness is rarely used in serious places.At this moment, he is still seriously considering the operability of certain things.

At this time, he was not too worried about Lin Yan's mental state, because he guessed that Lin Yan must be in a good mood, and it was still a comfortable one.

Looking down at his jet-black sneakers and his feet that were so painful that they exploded under the upper, He Zhengxi giggled a few times without knowing why, which attracted the frequent glances of passers-by nearby.As a gay male who has been fearless intermittently since childhood, the person He Zhengxi fears the most is Lin Yan, and the person He Zhengxi fears the most is also Lin Yan.

He walked forward briskly while enjoying himself, looking around to find his escaped elder brother. The place where he got off the car was not too close to the neighborhood where they lived, and it would take half an hour to walk. He Zhengxi walked for about Twenty minutes later, a message came in on the phone.

"My brother is back, he locked the door from the inside, and said that as long as you knock on the door, you can't open it. ——From Lin Yan's favorite brother"

The running speed was fast enough, He Zhengxi couldn't help laughing and typed two words back:

"you dare."

After receiving He Zhengxi's reply, Lin Cong opened it, and immediately went outside the bathroom door and shouted, "Brother! He provoked you! Said you dare not lock the door!"

"Don't talk to him, the more you talk to him, the more excited he is." Lin Yan replied.He was desperately rubbing soap on his body, the foam from the bath flower covered his chin to his feet, and he rubbed it again between his legs uneasy after he finished it. It looked like he was wearing a cotton coat, which was still light. of.

Lin Cong thought it was not good to ignore He Zhengxi, he had already regarded himself as He Zhengxi's brother-in-law or brother-in-law, and under the circumstances of disparity in combat power, he wanted to provoke, but also had to take the initiative to curry favor.Lin Cong, a foolish boy, was quite proud of his abilities, although his elder brother didn't have any real relationship with He Zhengxi.

"My brother said I don't care about you, otherwise you will be excited." He got back into the tent and replied seriously.

When He Zhengxi saw this message, he laughed angrily.Lin Yan's younger brother, it's hard to say whether he is really stupid or wise, his thinking logic is not like that of a normal 16-year-old person, and he probably inherited a little bit of Yu Qin's traits... But after careful study, he found that every sentence is correct, It all depends on how people understand it.

"Just wait, I'll go back." He Zhengxi returned more seriously this time.

Lin Cong picked up his phone and ran out of the bathroom again: "Brother! He's coming back! Shall we implement plan B?"

Lin Yan wiped his hair and came out angrily, snatched Lin Cong's phone, threw it far away on the sofa, and said viciously: "What kind of shit plan ABC, go back to your tent! Feel free to read novels and play games! Keep quiet! "

Lin Cong jumped up and said yes, and immediately put the matter of He Zhengxi behind him.

Seeing that Lin Cong didn't come back again, He Zhengxi planned to speed up like a [-]-meter sprint and run home in one go. However, when he was about to lift his feet after finishing the warm-up, the schoolbag hanging on his back was handcuffed. caught.

He Zhengxi frowned and looked back, coincidentally, isn't this Lin Yan's high school classmate at the station.I am afraid that he ran and chased him all the way, and he was panting for breath while pressing his knees.

Lin Yan was a pretty good-tempered person, but he wasn't enthusiastic about this classmate at all. He Zhengxi guessed that the person in front of him was not some fun, so he spoke in a very forceful tone.

"What's the matter with you? Stalker or mugger?"

The other party looked obviously embarrassed, and said, "Misunderstanding, I just want to ask you about Lin Yan."

He Zhengxi's eyes immediately dropped from indifference to unfriendly: "Who are you?"

"You are his legendary younger brother, right? My name is Yu Xianming, Lin Yan's high school classmate."

He Zhengxi began to look at the classmate Yu Xianming by the light of the street lamp, and then he said: "You are not, I have seen my brother's high school graduation photo, everyone in his class has a nose and a face, no What kind of person you are."

Yu Xianming's face turned gloomy for a moment, but he quickly returned to normal and said, "Departments at the same level, different classes."

He Zhengxi: "That's considered a classmate? Besides, what do you want my brother to do?"

Yu Xianming gasped and straightened up: "What you said sounds like I'm going to kill Lin Yan."

He has ordinary facial features, ordinary body, and ordinary way of chatting with people, but he doesn't feel ordinary and slightly annoying.

Most of the people around He Zhengxi were very kind, but he stared at Yu Xianming for a long time, but he didn't find any "kindness" at all. Instead, he inexplicably felt that this person was like a wild dog that suddenly jumped out on the street to eat, Favorability is zero.

"You don't want to hurt him, as long as I'm going home, don't follow." He Zhengxi turned his head and ran straight away.

"Hey! Wait a minute!" Yu Xianming ran after him, approached He Zhengxi and said, "Your brother is doing well in Yancheng, right? My girlfriend wants to find a part-time job recently. You can help me and ask him. How about being a waiter?"

He Zhengxi stopped in his tracks and asked doubtfully, "Yancheng is so big, do I have to go to his restaurant?"

Yu Xianming said calmly, "It's always better to have acquaintances around."

He Zhengxi folded his arms and asked, "Okay, where are you two at the university? I'll pass the resume for him first."

Yu Xianming immediately reported the name of a school, then added with a chuckle, "It's not as good as your brother's."

He Zhengxi started his run-up again. He turned his ankles and said innocently: "Oh, this may not work. My brother's restaurant is very demanding, and he doesn't need a part-time job for the time being."

Yu Xianming became more frustrated and courageous: "Just leave me your brother's phone number. You are only so old and you still don't understand anything. There must be no problem with him."

He Zhengxi hated being told that he was still young the most. He stood up straight, stared at Yu Xianming and imitated his tone and said, "I don't understand, you still drag me here to talk for a long time, you don't need to bother. You If the partner wants to find a job, let her find it by herself. Besides, since you are an old classmate, it would be faster to inquire about the phone number." He looked up at Yu Xianming's bulging backpack, and said: " They're all people who just got off the train, can't you take a breath first? You go back and have a fight with your partner. It's better than fighting with people endlessly on the street, right?"

"Hey! Little brother knows how to shoot a cannon?" Yu Xianming leaned over like a bastard, and said with a teasing smile: "Who taught you? I guess it was Lin Yan!"

He Zhengxi thought, this Yu Xianming speaks like an inexperienced person, and has some acting personality. He might not know how to go crazy later, so he shook his head in denial and said, "If you have nothing else to do, I will I really have to go, I can't help with the part-time job."

"You are quite arrogant." Yu Xianming regarded himself as a figure of He Zhengxi's eldest brother, and He Zhengxi's defiant attitude made him uncomfortable, "When your brother saw me at school, he always lowered his eyebrows. Pleasing to the eye."

He Zhengxi sneered: "Are you dreaming? My brother doesn't even bother to deal with a piece of shit like you."

Yu Xianming laughed, and began to ignore his words, "Small fish? Go out and ask, what kind of person is a trash fish? The prisoner's son must be such a fish?"

This is not a wild dog, but a mad dog, He Zhengxi thought silently.Although he was angry, he couldn't be the one who threw the first punch, so he suppressed the anger in his heart, turned around and ran quietly.

"Oh, we're leaving now? Let's go, let's say hello to your brother for me." Yu Xianming bid farewell to He Zhengxi's figure generously. Call your girlfriend.

After the two got bored for a while, Yu Xianming began to talk about job hunting: "Don't forget it, let's look for it again, I'm afraid that something will happen to you if you go to the restaurant opened by the drug dealer's son!"

Not long after, he suddenly yelled again: "What's the use of being excellent? No matter how excellent he is, his family used to sell drugs! Wait, I'll go back right away."

Then he comforted in a soft voice: "What kind of job do you say, is it hard? Do you think it's so easy to exercise your ass ability?! It's better to be a student for a few years with peace of mind than anything else!"

After coaxing the person on the other side to be happy, he hung up the phone and stood by the side of the road smoking half a cigarette.A new bus slowly stopped in front of the stop sign, Yu Xianming put out his cigarette, weighed the big bag behind his back, got on the bus and left.

He Zhengxi stood in the shadow of the roadside trees with a cold and gloomy expression.

Lin Yan helped Lin Cong with math and geography in the living room, and then went back to the bedroom to read his research papers. At 11 o'clock at night, he heard the sound of He Zhengxi entering the room through the door, as well as the habitual quarrel with Lin Cong.

"Come back so late?" Lin Yan put on a white vest and went out, "My bag."

He Zhengxi handed it to him without making a sound.

"Go to bed early, don't forget you have to go to work tomorrow morning." Lin Yan instructed.

"Remember." He Zhengxi bypassed the tent in the middle of the road in the forest, walked to the door of his bedroom, looked at Lin Yan and said, "I'll make breakfast, don't worry about it."

Lin Yan clapped his hands a few times: "Not bad, not bad, I'll leave breakfast to you for the next week."

"From now on, you can leave breakfast to me." He Zhengxi threw a kiss to Lin Yan.

"Just make sure the school starts." Lin Yan said.

He Zhengxi smiled and said, "The diners are just the two of us."

Lin Cong withdrew his ears attached to the inside of the tent, and got out of his head in dissatisfaction, "Why?! I don't agree!"

He Zhengxi turned his head and said in disgust: "Take yourself as a leader? Can you write and agree with these two words? You still don't agree, and you don't agree to learn to do it yourself!"

Lin Cong slammed the game console on the bed and yelled, "You don't respect me!"

He Zhengxi: "Those who eat plain rice don't deserve to be respected!"

Lin Cong groaned twice, lying down on the camp bed and sulking.

Lin Yan laughed and walked over, raised his leg and kicked Lin Cong's ass, and said to He Zhengxi, "Why are you competing with someone whose IQ is 50.00% lower than yours? Take a shower and go to sleep."

Seeing the gleaming white skin exposed from the gap of Lin Yan's pants, He Zhengxi's IQ also dropped by 50.00% in an instant. He pushed and pulled Lin Yan into the bedroom and closed the door.

"Haven't you played enough during the day?" Lin Yan was pushed to sit on the bed, his eyes met He Zhengxi through the lens.He has more than 200 degrees of myopia and occasionally wears glasses.

He Zhengxi laughed after hearing this: "Are you looking forward to it?"

Lin Yan stepped on He Zhengxi's neck and kicked a few times, "Thank you for your enthusiasm and spirit of mutual help."

He Zhengxi scratched the pair of white and clean feet resting on his body, touched the toes, tops of feet and ankles all the way with his hands together, stopped at Lin Yan's calf, and massaged back and forth.

"I ran a lot today, does your leg hurt?"

Feeling itchy, Lin Yan withdrew his foot and said, "It's okay, actually I just ran for a short distance, and then took a passing taxi."

He Zhengxi: "...so clever."

He entered the house not to continue to harass Lin Yan, but to have a business.

Because of Lin Yan's abnormal attack in the prison, He Zhengxi wanted to take him to Dr. Yang Yue for another examination, but Lin Yan said that he recovered very well during this period, it was not necessary, just go by the scheduled date .He Zhengxi understands Lin Yan's consistent thoughts. He has now understood that he cannot do things against the other party's wishes with an overly forceful and direct attitude. Slow and orderly communication is more important and effective than any coercive behavior.

He Zhengxi naturally and quickly passed the topic, and started talking about Yu Xianming.However, he only kept the part of refusing Yu Xianming to ask Lin Yan to arrange a part-time job for his girlfriend, and didn't mention anything else.

"There is nothing really bad about him, but his words are not very pleasant." Lin Yan commented after listening, "You must not even think about fighting him."

Lin Yan actually wanted to speak for this person, He Zhengxi was very curious but didn't quite understand.

"Why am I fighting with him? Besides, what if the police uncle won't let me go to college if I overdo it?" He Zhengxi dragged a chair and sat on it, continuing to massage Lin Yan's calf.After pressing both legs, he helped Lin Yan put on the slippers, rolled himself up, hugged his legs, stared at Lin Yan intently, without saying a word.

It seems to be admiring, and it seems to be waiting.

"Yu Xianming...his father was originally an anti-narcotics police officer." After waiting for too long, Lin Yan took the initiative to speak.

"When Yu Xianming was in elementary school, his father died on a mission, so Yu Xianming hated anyone related to drugs. You know the situation of Uncle Xu anyway, so..." Lin Yan waved his hands and looked With a tangled explanation to He Zhengxi, "I really don't want to have too much interaction with him, because it was the same at the beginning. If everyone expressed themselves strongly, they would definitely quarrel or even fight. I insisted that I was right. After all, Uncle Xu is serving his sentence, and I am not the one who transported the drugs; but at the same time, he is not wrong, he misses his dead father, and has hatred for people and things related to drugs, which is very normal... "

"He did something to you?" He Zhengxi asked, "Is it because of this that you didn't let Lu Chi talk to me about those things in high school?"

"I just don't think it's necessary. It's all over. And even if I want to talk, I have to talk to you. He will definitely add fuel and exaggeration." Lin Yan said seriously, "Yu Xianming didn't move with me either. I just went to the lady boss and said that Uncle Xu was in prison, he was a drug dealer, or he was having nothing to do at school to talk to me about something. I was very angry for a while and thought it was inexplicable, but later I found out about the situation at his home , I suddenly felt indifferent. If I were him, I might choose a more extreme way. I even thought, if this can make him feel happy, or experience the feeling of revenge, it’s better to just let him go .”

He Zhengxi felt a little pain in his heart: "You are too kind and considerate of others too much. If it were me, I would definitely beat you up without hesitation, but you will be punished..."

"You have improved your consciousness." Lin Yan smiled, "You also know that you don't care about it. I definitely have to care about it. Otherwise, what if the scholarship is gone? What if you can't finish the nine-year compulsory education? Really? Let’s start, isn’t it true that the child of a criminal is not normal? The school, the teachers, and the people in our class are really very kind to me. They didn’t alienate me at all because of Uncle Xu’s imprisonment, or mock and bully me... ... After all, drugs are different from other things, and everyone is tolerant enough." He seemed to have completely let go, talking without any ups and downs, and after a while he said: "Those people in other classes, I am slow It’s not a big deal if it’s slow, it’s just a piece of cake.”

He Zhengxi blinked, feeling sorry for his brother, and wanted to hug him and suck him violently.

"Are you thinking, I'm miserable?" Lin Yan looked at him wittily and said, "I'm not miserable at all, really. The female squad leader who was asked by my classmate to help me pick up vegetables, and Chinese cabbage, including you The homeroom teacher Mr. Zhao Sheng who I don’t like, they have all spoken for me. Once they almost caused a group fight, I have always been quite guilty..."

So you know that I hate Zhao Sheng, He Zhengxi was thinking about it regardless of the occasion.

Lin Yan sat by the bed and chatted with him about those things in the past. There was indeed no sadness in his eyes, but a transparent and honest look full of happiness and happiness.He Zhengxi's mind gradually became clear, and he didn't continue to ask questions or express opinions. Instead, he changed his angle and position and began to distract himself, studying Lin Yan's appearance unscrupulously.He does this often, as naturally and casually as eating and sleeping.

Lin Yan is not as thin as before, with more flesh on his cheeks, and his skin color and hair color are also very beautiful.He has always given people the feeling of being gentle and easy to talk to, but comparing the present with the past, he has improved a lot.When he was a teenager, Lin Yan's gentleness always contained patience, but now, patience probably only occupies the most common place, and most of the rest are invisible forces enriched by experience and growth.

The more He Zhengxi looked at it, the more he liked it, the more he appreciated it, the more he fell in love with it.He carefully calculated how long before he was 18 years old, and he almost beat his chest and feet after the calculation.

Lin Yan looked embarrassed by him: "What are you thinking? Are you still taking a bath?"

He Zhengxi woke up from his wandering thoughts: "Oh, I was thinking about sleeping in your room tonight."

Lin Yan stroked his forehead: "Don't think about those things every day, it's not good for your health."

He Zhengxi's eyes widened, looking very innocent, "No, brother, you are overthinking."

Lin Yan let out a "tch", took off the shoes that He Zhengxi had put on for him, put away his glasses, shook off the blanket to cover his body, turned his head and lay on his side, closed his eyes and went to sleep.

He Zhengxi stood up and walked over, kissing Lin Yan's soft hair.He went out to take a shower, forcibly confiscated Lin Cong's game console, turned off the headlights in the living room, returned to Lin Yan's room, and sat at the desk in a daze.When his body was completely dry, He Zhengxi lay down lightly behind Lin Yan's back, his arms involuntarily wrapped around the waist in front of him, and his palms stopped on his chest and abdomen.

Sensing Lin Yan's sudden tense nerves, He Zhengxi frowned.

"I really won't touch you, rest assured and sleep."

Lin Yan grunted in response, and fell asleep peacefully.

In the middle of the night, the wind started to blow outside, and the thin and dense raindrops fell on the glass, and the temperature was rarely pleasant. He Zhengxi felt Lin Yan's gentle breathing in his deep sleep, and couldn't help but want to hug him tighter.

Lin Yan didn't want to let himself know about those things in his high school, and He Zhengxi wasn't actually curious either.Before he said it frankly, He Zhengxi instinctively guessed that it was definitely not a good thing.

Just from the chance meeting with Yu Xianming today, one can fully imagine what kind of "courteous treatment" a student whose adoptive father was imprisoned for drug trafficking could get in such a key high school.

It's just that what He Zhengxi cared most about was the calm expression on Lin Yan's face when he talked about those things again.

Ethical rules are always different from the letter of the law.Lin Yan didn't participate in the drug trafficking process, and he didn't even know what Xu Jialin was doing every day, but as a family, he had to bear the consequences.For Xianming, life was not going well either. The negative emotions accumulated by the long-term hatred were aroused by Lin Yan, the son of a drug dealer, and finally could only be vented on Lin Yan.Maybe, he himself can't find where the exit of the road is.

There are really limited things that can be constrained by rules and regulations in the world, and emotion is precisely the kind that cannot draw boundaries.

He Zhengxi's mind was so confused that he closed his eyes in a daze after 4 o'clock in the morning.This sleep didn't seem to last long, and soon the sky was bright, and he woke up with a shocking shaking.

"Late! It's 9:20!" Lin Yan shouted.

He Zhengxi sat up abruptly, put on his clothes in a daze and ran to the bathroom, Lin Cong laughed loudly behind him.

Gritting his toothbrush and frowning, he came out, cursing indistinctly: "Laugh, you laugh!"

Lin Cong: "Laugh at you!"

He Zhengxi rolled his eyes, feeling again in his heart that he really is a real brother, similar to Lin Yan's thinking mode.After brushing his teeth and washing his face, he walked out, met Lin Yan and handed over the pan and said, "But you said you would make breakfast, so you can't break your promise."

He Zhengxi was heartbroken, he was late anyway, and it didn't matter if he was half an hour late, so he took the frying pan and entered the kitchen in a dignified manner.

He simply cooked three bowls of noodles, each with poached eggs.

"Why do I only have one?" Lin Cong asked.

"You're too young, it's not good to eat too much." He Zhengxi said solemnly.

"What logic, you and my brother both have two!"

"You are not qualified to talk about logic! Your brain is not fully developed!"

Lin Cong groaned: "I don't know who is out of their minds, and they don't even know what time it is!"

"He Zhengxi took a bite of the egg yolk and turned around, looking at the electronic watch on the corner of the dining table.

Impressively marked 7:30.

He looked at the opposite side again, and the two brothers who looked similar were shrinking their necks and shaking with laughter.

He Zhengxi felt a little helpless, and said aggrievedly: "Brother, you were spoiled by Lin Cong, you were not like this before."

Lin Yan wiped away the two tears from the corners of his eyes, and hiccupped, "Who told you not to look at your watch? It's not our fault!"

He Zhengxi thickened his skin: "I am your predetermined boyfriend, your man. I believe everything you say unconditionally." After speaking, he added: "You are also my man."

Lin Yan felt uncomfortable now, he poked the poached egg in the bowl, and muttered, "It was early in the morning, talking nonsense, and in front of a two hundred and five."

He Zhengxi scrambled for words: "It means that you can say it without being in front of him?"

Lin Cong waved his chopsticks, nonchalantly: "You can do whatever you want, I am very receptive."

He seemed to have acquiesced that he was a two hundred and five.
