River City Story

With his inch-long hair exposed to the cold wind for half an hour, He Zhengxi broke into sweat and sneezed one after another.Lin Yan repeatedly pushed and shoved him to the dormitory to drink hot water and swallow pills, and finally pulled him a thick quilt. He Zhengxi refused to say anything and refused with all his strength.The two almost had a conflict, and finally chose a compromise method under the persuasion of their roommates, and changed to a new spring and autumn thin quilt.

In the wet and cold afternoon when the sleet came quietly, the two brothers huddled together on the narrow bed and fell asleep with their backs in their clothes.each sullen...

In winter, the vitality of Lin Yan usually fades away by half, and it is the same this year.Even though he was receiving drug treatment, he still didn't have enough energy.In the past, I was busy all day long without stopping for a moment. As soon as my head touched the pillow, sleepiness and fatigue always arrived hand in hand.Recently, he had a lot of time, but he wasn't so tired, but when he was lying on the bed, before he could blink a few times, He Zhengxi's face was already close to him, with a few extremely gentle greetings.Embarrassment is embarrassment, but in the long run, Lin Yan will get used to it.

In this kind of day and night getting along, small quarrels become a mediator instead, and when they wake up, the relationship can be restored to its original state.It's like living a life, but I don't know how long it will last.

After finishing his half-hour nap, Lin Yan tiptoed to class.As for He Zhengxi, without a humanoid alarm clock, he fell asleep soundly throughout the afternoon.When he finally woke up from a strange dream that was repeatedly entangled, the light in the dormitory had already dimmed.He rubbed his head and propped up his upper body, stared in a daze for a while, then checked his phone, a message from Lin Yan was displayed on the lock screen.

"I asked you to leave. It's raining and snowing outside. Don't run out. I'll bring dinner back to the dormitory."

He Zhengxi was surrounded by warm blankets, and his thinking was slow and leisurely. He stared at the screen for a long time, and replied to Lin Yan with ten consecutive emojis that were not repeated, and then planned to get out of bed to wash, but after several attempts Leg lifts were unsuccessful.Only then did he finally discover that there was a reason for that recurring dream.

Lin Yan really wrapped him up with the thick quilt, perhaps because He Zhengxi said that he should not cover it too much. At a glance, all the quilts were concentrated on the legs and feet, and they were specially folded into half burritos. similar shape.He Zhengxi smiled, leaned down, and pressed his cheeks against it. It was soft and warm, and the touch was very different from that of ordinary dormitory quilts.

Once a person catches a cold, his body is always heavy and tired. He Zhengxi didn't lie down enough for a while, so he simply pulled up the thick quilt and fell asleep again.This time I had a good dream. In the dream, there was Lin Yan, who was wearing shorts and short sleeves when he was a boy, with short hair, immature eyes, and a bright smile on his face, without any trace of sadness.This made He Zhengxi seem to have jumped from early winter to mid-spring. The whole atmosphere was not only warm, but also humid.He stretched out his hand, wanting to tug Lin Yan's sleeve, but in the process accidentally touched Lin Yan's fingertips, "Brother, your hands are so cold, I'll warm them up for you." He grinned openly say.

"I just came back from outside, can I not be cool?" Lin Yan replied helplessly.

He Zhengxi opened his eyes, and recognized a familiar figure from the bright white indoor lights, "get out of class is over so soon."

"There is still a quarter of an hour and six o'clock!" Lin Yan raised his mobile phone and shook it in front of his eyes.

"I see..." He Zhengxi sat up reluctantly, met Lin Yan's gaze with his big eyes, opened and closed his lips, and popped out a word: "Hungry."

Lin Yan raised the two dumplings in his hand and asked, "Do you want to eat now, or go to the bathroom?"

He Zhengxi closed his eyes and said, "I want to eat now, so I won't wash my hands."

"Wait." Lin Yan set up the small table for him and placed it on the bed, turned around and carried the hot water bottle into the bathroom, came back 2 minutes later, handed the wet towel to He Zhengxi and said, "Wipe yourself."

He Zhengxi still looked like a child, but when he saw that Lin Yan was ignoring him, he coquettishly said, "Help me."

Lin Yan stood on the spot and shook vigorously for a few times, and said, "Forget about wiping, and you don't need to eat. You have cultivated immortality, just close your eyes and meditate, detoxify, and heal quickly."

He Zhengxi said "Hey!" He took the towel, wiped it casually a few times, folded it and returned it to Lin Yan, rubbed his cheeks and said, "Should I agree this time? Please eat dumplings."

"Who knows what your hands touched while you were asleep..."

Lin Yan pulled two old magazine pages and put them on the table, and laid out dumplings and tableware, "I was in a hurry just now, so I didn't ask the master for vinegar for dumplings, so I can eat it."

"Yeah, it's okay." He Zhengxi quickly stuffed a few into his mouth, and said with full cheeks, "It's delicious, although it's not as good as what we make ourselves."

Lin Yan sat sideways on the side of the bed, holding his chopsticks and said cheerfully: "There are so many problems, you can be content."

He Zhengxi nodded, while rustling in the quilt, not long after, he pulled the quilt to make a small space on the bed, and said to Lin Yan: "Brother, don't eat like that, it's uncomfortable, sit on it. "

Lin Yan looked at him: "Such a big bed, why should I go up and squeeze?"

He Zhengxi swung his calf and said, "You can sleep even if you sleep, why can't you sit together? Hurry up!"

"It's really idle..." Lin Yan muttered, kicking off his slippers, and buried his feet in the bed, "Okay, let's eat."

He Zhengxi asked contentedly, "Is it warm?"

Lin Yan: "If you're not hot, you're dead!"

He Zhengxi chuckled a few times: "Brother, every time you look a little angry, you are so cute, I like it very much."

Lin Yan rubbed the center of his brows, and shook his head helplessly, "You just can't talk to me, but you can be motivated anyway."

He Zhengxi relaxed his shoulders happily, and concentrated on eating the dumplings.Seeing that he finally stopped messing around, Lin Yan felt relieved and continued eating chopsticks quietly.

It's just that this harmonious state didn't last long. Five minutes later, Lin Yan kicked He Zhengxi hard under the blanket, and shouted, "You eat so many rituals?!"

"Hey!" He Zhengxi rubbed his sore calf and wrinkled his face, "You are too cruel, and I didn't do anything, brother, I have been disciplined for a long time!"

Lin Yan put the chopsticks horizontally on the lunch box, and said with a serious face: "If you touch it again, you will break your toe, and don't want to play ball again."

He Zhengxi muttered: "You can fight even if you are broken..."

Lin Yan: "Are you going to argue?"

Seeing this, He Zhengxi hurriedly bowed to him: "It's really careless, this leg is facing the leg, we are tall, so it is inevitable that we will meet each other, besides, I just want to give you warmth because I see you are cold... ..."

"Yo!" Lin Yan folded his arms and sneered, "I misunderstood you? Where is the warmth? Is it for the lower half of the body?"

He Zheng picked his chopsticks and said in a low voice: "Aren't your legs and feet all the lower half of your body? I'm sincere..."

Lin Yan sighed: "It's just that they didn't come back, and I don't own the dormitory alone. If you do this kind of thing in the future, you have to think about your brother's face. And last time on the bus, if you were caught Someone took a video and posted it on the Internet, and neither of us will even think about raising our heads in this lifetime!"

"I know it." He Zhengxi said, "I won't let you be criticized."

"Have you counted? Generally, people who don't count like to say that they have counted. I used to say that I have counted, but now I see that I still don't count." Lin Yan pushed the lunch box, "You are full, you can eat."

"You only ate less than 10."

"I'm fed up with you!"

He Zhengxi bit his lip, a little dissatisfied, but Lin Yan's worry was not unreasonable, so he could only say: "Forget it, I'll eat, I'm sorry brother."

As soon as the "I'm sorry" was said, Lin Yan felt a little guilty. He shook his head and said, "It's okay. I'm too excited. I've been losing my temper recently. Don't mind, it's not against you."

He Zhengxi put on a smiling face, tilted his head and asked, "Is it all right now? Let me know that, make room for another five dumplings."

Lin Yan was amused by his childish appearance, and actually continued to eat five dumplings.Seeing this, He Zhengxi shuddered a little in his heart, he knew best what kind of self Lin Yan liked, it was definitely not mature and strong, but stupid and stupid.In terms of specific age figures, it is probably 8 or 9 years old.

At that time, He Zhengxi had to follow Lin Yan in everything he did, but Lin Yan followed his lead, one elder brother at a time, and if he was told to go east, he would definitely be able to flow to the East China Sea by a waterway, he was small and obedient.Now, Lin Yan sometimes has to listen to this younger brother, so naturally he doesn't like him very much.However, this love is not quite the same as love in love.But He Zhengxi feels that Lin Yan now has a trace of real "love" for him; he even firmly believes that when He Zhengxi officially becomes an adult next year, this "love" must be deeper and heavier than it is now.

He Zhengxi, who was caught up in the beautiful longing, was so happy and foolish that he unconsciously put all the remaining dumplings in Lin Yan's lunch box into his mouth.

Lin Yan dumbfounded and reminded: "If there is not enough food, I will go to the school supermarket to buy cup noodles for you. You look like you have experienced another trafficking, just like a little beggar who hasn't eaten for a few days."

He Zhengxi shook his chopsticks at him, and said in a full voice, "If I were a little beggar, you would be Ergujie, and I would be your subordinate. Let's make the beggar gang flourish, build hundreds of acres of land, and become rich and well-off!"

Lin Yan said with a smile: "Why do I have to be an elder, can't I be a gang leader?"

He Zhengxi said solemnly: "Being the leader of the gang, you will be tied to this for the rest of your life. As an elder, you may even go out to have a look."

Lin Yan raised his face, stared at the upper bed board for a while, and replied: "My character, I should not be able to easily defect from the rules."

"You care so much..." He Zhengxi got out of bed, put on his shoes, cleaned up the small square table, put it away and locked it in the cabinet, and asked Lin Yan, "Are you going back at night?"

"You want to go back?" Lin Yan motioned He Zhengxi to bend down, put his hand on his forehead, and tried his own again, "It's still burning, don't go out."

"Still burning?" He Zhengxi felt it for himself, "How can this be considered burning? I'm full of energy now, let's go!" He took the shoes from under the bed and was about to put them on for Lin Yan.

"Don't! I'll do it myself, what's wrong with you..." Lin Yan blocked his hand.

He Zhengxi stood innocently aside, the back of Lin Yan's lowered head dangling slightly in front of his eyes, the shape was plump and the hair was fluffy, just like a big ball of wool.After watching for a long time, he couldn't help scratching his hard and prickly buttocks.

Lin Yan tied up his shoelaces and said to him, "Don't do this again in the future, anyway, I'm still your brother in front of outsiders."

He Zhengxi didn't like to hear this, he leaned against the balcony door frame with a half-smile and said, "Didn't you promise to fall in love with me?"

Lin Yan stared intently at He Zhengxi, and said anxiously: "But our situation is special after all. I've said it many times. Don't affect your normal life and studies because of this kind of thing."

"But it doesn't have any influence now, right, brother?" He Zhengxi interrupted him, "You said you have to wait, it's okay, but I just want to be nice to the person I like, and that's not okay? Out of instinct, without any selfishness."

Lin Yan lowered his eyes, reached out his hand and made a pause gesture, "We don't need to quarrel over this kind of thing, you misunderstood me, I, I'm just a little uncomfortable, do you understand what I mean? I'm a man..."

"It has nothing to do with gender." He Zhengxi shook his head and sighed, but no emotion could be heard in his voice, "I also put shoes on for you before, why didn't you object then?"

"I didn't have the energy to object back then."

He Zhengxi felt depressed for a while, he took a deep breath, pursed his lips and smiled at Lin Yan, and said, "Okay, sorry, I pushed you too hard."

"No, it's my attitude, blame me for always..."

"Brother!" He Zhengxi interrupted Lin Yan loudly, "Don't always take everything on yourself." He reached out and squeezed Lin Yan's arms, "It's because you pretended to be There are too many unnecessary things, which is why there are problems with overloading, do you understand? You should try to empty yourself and find a more comfortable way of life. Now you have me, Lao He and them, you should perceive Easy, not the same as before."

"You are right." Lin Yan finally raised his face, "Look, even you said that I have a problem with my brain. In the final analysis, the problem comes from myself. You are absolutely right. But you think I have a problem with my brain? Do you want to? I hate myself like this too! I don't want to think about those messy and joyless things at all, but if I don't think about it, the matter will remain there without anyone to solve it!" He pushed He Zhengxi hard Kai, panting desperately, shouting hoarsely: "You live like a proud son of heaven, how can you understand people with half a foot stuck in the mud! He Zhengxi, go to the street and look at those people who are standing in the rain. Small vendors who set up stalls on the street in the snow, look at yourself again! How lucky you are!"

He Zhengxi was in a daze, he never thought that Lin Yan would say such a thing.

"You're too excited, brother, sit down and calm down. I admit that I don't have enough experience in life, and I don't understand you enough." He Zhengxi lowered his voice, trying to persuade Lin Yan, "... You have suffered a lot and are very tired, so I am the one more person to solve the problem now? Don't think of yourself as helpless, we are all with you..."

Lin Yan didn't intend to listen to He Zhengxi's continuation, he put on his coat, carried his bag, walked to the door and said: "Your words are reasonable, I was a little unreasonable just now, I am a patient, you can treat it all as nonsense listen."

"Brother!" He Zhengxi ran over a few steps and grabbed Lin Yan's backpack strap, "You also said that it's cold outside, and you'll get sick if you run out like this."

Lin Yan turned around, grabbed He Zhengxi's collar, stared at him fiercely, and said angrily, "Don't fucking treat me as a weak person, even if I am dying of terminal illness, I don't need your care and care. Put away those tricks, or find a little lover and use it on him!"

"I never regarded you as a weak person..." He Zhengxi almost begged Lin Yan, "I just care about you from the perspective of an admirer and family..."

Lin Yan laughed at himself. He let go of He Zhengxi, and said sadly, "Family? I don't have a family like you. In this world, I have never had a family or relatives, let alone people who disregard ethics." Admirer, being pursued by a brother who grew up together?! What a ridiculous life! I have ten backbones that are not enough to be pointed at!"

"I didn't disregard ethics!" He Zhengxi argued, "I like your charm, so I am willing to pursue you and turn this liking into love. What's wrong with that? Besides, we are not blood brothers!" He pointed to his chest, with an angry and melancholy expression, and even pleaded, "You don't need to treat me as a family member, but what about Uncle Xu? What about Lin Cong? And brother Lu Chi...they all love you!"

Lin Yan staggered and leaned back on the chair, and said in a hoarse voice, "You all love me? Why don't I know? Where do you love me? Xu Jialin, if he loves me, will he commit crimes and go to jail! Who is Lin Cong to him? Well, whoever is he laughing at is a fool! Lu Chi? Yes, Lu Chi is a real brother, but he is indulging in family happiness! What does he have to do with me?! And you!" He said to He Zhengxi shouted out of breath, "You talk about love every day, why do you love me?! Don't throw your noble feelings to me, I can't bear it!"

"But don't you enjoy it?" He Zhengxi said to Lin Yan with a wry smile, "Everyone has emotions, and you are human, and you need those things too. Didn't you feel uncomfortable when I helped you solve it?" He Deceived and looked at Lin Yan, his eyes seemed to penetrate everything, "You used to be very frank, why have you become like this now? Does it really have anything to do with whether you were born sick or not? Accept and admit, there is So difficult? You are too good at disguising and avoiding, I am always tricked by you like a pet dog, don't you think so?"

Lin Yan's face was pale, he was flustered and embarrassed, every nerve seemed to be in the wrong place, embarrassing, embarrassing, and painful.

"Thank you for your sarcasm. Yes, I am born with a humble personality." He said lightly, "I am enjoying the benefits you bring, and I am still hanging on to you. He deserves to suffer."

Feeling ashamed, Lin Yan opened his eyes, and his eyes flicked across the small room of more than ten square meters. Then he coughed violently, and the dumplings he had just eaten were about to rush out of his throat.Lin Yan curled up, bowed his head and vomited.

"Brother!" He Zhengxi rushed over and hugged Lin Yan who was trembling all over.Originally, he just wanted to provoke with words, but at this time, he finally realized that his cleverness had been played off, and regret and fear invaded his whole body, and every inch of flesh and blood was tearing and aching.

"I won't say that again, I'm sorry, I didn't mean that, brother, why are you feeling uncomfortable? Why are you vomiting again, I...I'll call a car now, I'm scared, brother, I'm really scared!" His Tears fell on Lin Yan's temples one by one, and then flowed down the hair to the back of Lin Yan's ear, soaking the small piece of skin.

Lin Yan tried his best to take a few deep breaths, and after a while of chest tightness passed, he whispered hoarsely: "Don't call a car, and don't disturb anyone, I'll just lie down."

"Then, then don't move, I'll hug you!"

"It's too heavy to hold." Lin Yan stretched out his arm, pressed it on He Zhengxi's leg, stood up with difficulty, and squeezed out an ugly smile, "What are you afraid of? I don't care. You will die. This kind of disease, in the eyes of most people, is just hypocritical, you care too much." He patted He Zhengxi on the head, and said comfortingly: "It's really nothing, your views, I also agree I think it makes sense and I will seriously consider it.”

His hands and feet were aching, and he was light-headed. Every word he spoke seemed to be lacking in oxygen, and he had to take a few breaths.In He Zhengxi's eyes, this state looked like a dying person, how could he not be afraid?

"Stop it, brother, I'm an asshole again this time." He Zhengxi helped Lin Yan to the bed, poured hot water for him and tucked the corners of the quilt, "There's no one in the dormitory now, do you take medicine?"

Lin Yan pressed the lock screen, looked at the time, "Wait a little longer, don't worry, they won't come back for a while, they have to go to the library for self-study."

"Then you have a good rest, I'll sit here." He Zhengxi pulled out the seat and sat on it, tightly holding Lin Yan's hand.

"Are you cold?" He sat for a few seconds, then stood up again, opened the drawer to look for hand warmers.

Lin Yan hid in the quilt like a cocoon, watched He Zhengxi scurrying up and down like a monkey for a few minutes, and finally bowed his head sadly, "I can't find it, I remember it."

"It's not cold anyway." Lin Yan said, "And I brought that thing back a long time ago, haven't you used it? What's the matter, are you out of your mind?"

He Zhengxi looked embarrassed: "You don't want to talk about this topic anymore, my brain is completely broken, I guess when I go back to Lao He's place tomorrow, they will return me to the factory for overhaul, and it is possible to replace the parts directly."

Lin Yan giggled and said, "You don't need to report everything, I won't file a complaint, let this matter go."

He Zhengxi pinched Lin Yan's palm, shook his head and said, "If Lao He skins me, remember to help collect the body."

"It's quite self-aware." Lin Yan turned around and faced the inside.

For a while, the two of them were speechless. The room was full of violent quarrels just now, and now it was so quiet that only the sound of snow melting and rain falling on the balcony could be heard.Five or six minutes later, when his eyelids were about to droop, Lin Yan turned his face back again, "I... lost my composure today. Some things, although I was filled with righteous indignation when I said them, are actually not visible. Do you feel that now? Am I particularly ugly inside?"

He Zhengxi squeezed Lin Yan's fingers, leaned down and hugged him, and said, "Everyone will be like this, bro, so do I. I think many thoughts are too dark, but in fact they are common and common. You just live too purely and persistently." .”

"Hey, did you report the wrong major? You are also good at studying humanities!" Lin Yan laughed.

He Zhengxi smiled and thought, what else can I study?I can't even study you...
