Dangerous game

The years passed slowly, and since Jiang Bei went to university, he rarely returned to this home.

In the summer vacation of his junior year, he went home to find his mother to do something, so he lived temporarily for a while. He heard from Aunt Zhang at home that Shen Munan secretly talked with a little girlfriend, who seemed to be a classmate.

A big boy who just entered the first year of high school is in the period of exuberant hormone secretion, so it's normal to be a little ignorant and affectionate. Besides, with Shen Munan's good appearance, if he doesn't provoke others, others will have to come over to provoke him.

Jiangbei was not surprised by this.

In a long and narrow alley, a group of boys who looked like students gathered together to smoke and frolic. In the smoke that curled up like snake letters, he could still clearly see the tall boy standing against the wall.

A clean boy in a white T-shirt, jeans, and handsome eyebrows, who doesn't fit in with the dirty environment around him.

Jiang Bei parked his bicycle at the entrance of the alley, slowly poked in, and the twilight gradually closed behind him.

Shen Munan held a cigarette in his right hand, leaned against the wall and puffed, his skillful fingering showed that it was not the first time he had done this, the group of bastard students were giggling, their mouths were full of entrapments Dirty words about genitalia.

"Come back with me." Jiang Bei snatched half of the cigarette from Shen Munan's mouth, and dragged the boy who was half a head taller than him to the entrance of the alley.

One of the gangsters tripped down Jiangbei with his foot, and said with a grumpy smile, "Hey, who is this?"

Jiang Bei staggered forward, squinting at the stumbling boy, "I'm his brother, who are you!"

"So it's my brother." The little gangster said in a strange tone.

Several other punks surrounded him together.

Bad boys always have some unreasonable resistance to this kind of well-dressed and well-dressed boy in their bones. It's fine if they don't meet each other in normal times, but now Jiangbei has broken into his territory by himself.

The gangsters surrounded Jiangbei, and the little boss among them dragged Shen Munan to the side and threatened him intimidatingly, "If you want to continue messing with us, just leave you idiot brother alone."

Several people made a gesture to beat up Jiang Bei, taking the opportunity to vent their adolescent restlessness that had nowhere to rest.

Jiang Bei was forced into a corner, Shen Munan didn't say a word, he took out a cigarette and lit it again, with the attitude of an outsider.

"Which school do you belong to!"

The punks laughed even more sinisterly, "It's none of your business, it's really lenient!"

Jiang Bei didn't take these little bastards seriously, and shouted at Shen Munan who was outside the encirclement: "Hurry up and go home!"

"You protect my brother so much." The little gangster raised his head and glanced at Shen Munan, his eyes were extremely cunning, "I don't think your brother is willing to talk to you."

There was another round of nasty laughter all around.

"How about this, I'll beat you twice on the stomach first, and show it to your younger brother. If he doesn't talk to you, I'll take him in as my younger brother."

After speaking, the leader of the little gangster waved his hand.

The shrimp soldiers and crab generals moved forward, and the encirclement gradually narrowed. When Jiang Bei saw the situation, he really panicked.

Just when those punches and kicks were about to hit Jiangbei's stomach, 17-year-old Shen Munan stood in front of him and grabbed the little head's wrist.

The king of thieves was the first to catch the thief, and everyone was quiet all of a sudden.

The little head endured the cramping pain in his wrist, with a deformed face, "Shen Munan, what do you mean!"

Shen Munan turned his head and told Jiangbei, "Go home."

The young man in the stage of changing his voice had a low and hoarse voice, the summer wind was blowing, and there was a faint smell of tobacco in his mouth.

"You go back with me." Jiang Bei insisted.

The little head gritted his teeth, and looked around with his eyes, "Why are you standing there, fuck him!"

The punks under his command immediately opened their teeth and claws, charged into the battle, and smashed dull blunt blows on Shen Munan's body with their hands and feet.

Shen Munan was taller than them all, with a natural advantage in size, these people didn't get much advantage from him.

"Go back!" Shen Munan ordered Jiangbei again sharply.

The gangsters saw their weakness, and they turned the direction of their waving together, aiming their fists at the good boy Jiangbei.

Shen Munan didn't have the skills to separate himself, so he could only protect Jiang Bei's head tightly, and pressed the man against his chest.

Jiang Bei's eyes were dark, and he could only smell the fragrance of washing powder on the young man's body, together with the faint smell of tobacco, mixed in the long memory later, growing like vines.

Twilight completely covered this long alley, the lights of all houses were brightly lit, and the faint smell of rice wafted from the windows of any house.

"Boss, if you fight again, something will happen." Xiao Luo reminded.

The leading gangster spat on the ground, stopped his anger for a while, and finally kicked Shen Munan, leading everyone to retreat.

Jiang Bei broke free from the boy's arms and supported him, "Let's go to the hospital."

Shen Munan brushed Jiang Bei's hand away, the darkness in his eyes was bottomless, and he tremblingly walked towards the entrance of the alley.

The shadows of the buildings on both sides witnessed the infinite thoughts of the young man.

Jiang Bei followed closely, straddled his bicycle diagonally, and put one foot on the ground, "I'll take you."

The only answer to him was the boy's consistent silence.

Jiang Bei got out of the car and followed Shen Munan with his bicycle. No one said a word along the way.

After returning home, Shen Munan entered his bedroom on the second floor without saying a word. Jiang Bei hesitated at the door for a long time, and finally knocked on the door.

The people inside knew it was him, so they didn't make a sound.

"Munan, it's me."

After waiting for a long time, there was still no movement inside. After cleaning the storage room, Aunt Zhang came out with a rag. When she saw him, she asked, "Why don't you go in?"

Jiang Bei lied casually, "I'm afraid he's asleep."

Aunt Zhang said casually, "What time is it? Your brother didn't go to bed so early."

When Aunt Zhang went downstairs, Jiang Bei reached for the doorknob and gently turned it open.

The bedroom was dark, with no lights on.

"Get out." Shen Munan made a dull voice in the darkness.

Jiang Bei stood at the door, with the bright corridor lights behind him.

"I'm coming to see you," he said.

"unnecessary."

"Stop hanging out with those bad students, they don't learn well."

Shen Munan got up from the bed, only then did Jiang Bei see clearly that this person was still wearing the same clothes as in the evening.

"You haven't taken a shower yet."

Shen Munan walked over and gave him a push, Jiang Bei staggered back two steps, still holding the door frame stubbornly.

"Let go." Shen Munan said coldly.

Jiang Bei didn't let go, "You take a bath later, and I'll rub your back for you."

Shen Munan looked coldly at the whitish hand, and suddenly slammed the door hard against the door frame.

"Ah—" Jiang Bei hissed in pain, and his fingers limply fell down.

Immediately afterwards, Shen Munan closed the door with a "bang".

The purple bruises on the pinched knuckles were so hot that his heart ached. Jiang Bei stood stupidly for a while, then left dejectedly.

Later, during the summer vacation, Jiang Bei bumped into his little girlfriend once, by the man-made lake behind the villa.

The two are hugging and kissing.

The girl in the white dress looks pure and flawless from a distance, just like the white lotuses in the lake.

Jiang Bei walked away silently, not disturbing the couple who had just tasted the forbidden fruit of love.

Later, it was probably Jiang's father and Jiang's mother who went through the divorce procedures and finally ended this ridiculous marriage for many years.

Jiang Bei left the Shen family with his mother, and his name was changed, from the original "Shen Xianbei" to the current name.

They moved in the afternoon. At that time, Shen Munan hadn't come back from school. Jiang Bei wanted to leave something for his younger brother, but then he thought about it and gave up. That person probably wouldn't want it.

His mother had already found a new house a few months ago, and told Aunt Zhang at home the address so that she could come over and have a sit down when she had time.

Master and servant for many years, Mother Jiang has always regarded her as her own sister.

After working all afternoon, I finally got settled in my new home. At around ten o'clock in the evening, there was a loud knock on the door.

Jiang Bei and his mother looked at each other in blank dismay. They had just moved in, so there shouldn't be any visitors.

Jiang Bei glanced through the cat's eyes——

The boy's whole body was drenched, his stern face was blurred by the rain, and the light reflected in his eyes, giving people the illusion that he was helpless.

Inseparable, helpless.

"Come in." Jiang Bei opened the door and pulled him in.

Shen Munan stood still, staring at Jiangbei with his immature male eyes.

Jiang Bei was in a hurry and exerted all his strength, "Come in."

"Who is it?" His mother came over to look, her face suddenly changed, "He is not allowed to come in."

The ends of Shen Munan's hair were still dripping water, and his voice was still hoarse when he spoke, "Auntie said you moved away."

"Close the door, don't bring anyone home!" Mother Jiang ordered Jiang Bei.

"Mom, it's still raining outside."

Jiang's mother dragged Jiang Bei in and closed the door mercilessly. She had no maternal love for Xiaosan's child at all.

"Where do you ask him to take a taxi in such heavy rain?" Jiang Bei retorted his mother for the first time.

"You are the savior, you don't care where he takes a taxi, takes a shower and sleeps!"

Jiangbei refused, took a black umbrella and pushed the door and ran out. In the semi-dark corridor, the big boy who was about 1.8 meters tall shrank into a ball.

"Munan." Jiang Bei knelt down in front of him.

Shen Munan lowered his eyes and hugged his knees tightly, his lowered eyebrows were slightly red.

Jiang Bei was infected by him, and his eye sockets were soaked with damp heat.

"It's almost eleven o'clock, what are you doing here?"

The boy didn't answer him.

Jiang Bei stood up, stretched out a hand and tugged at the boy, "Get up, I'll take you back."

Shen Munan remained motionless, slowly raised his scarlet eyes, and pulled the corners of his mouth weakly, "You left me again."

You left me again.

This is the last sentence of the two youths.
