Stay on time

Daughter, Lin Qiao often heard him talk about it.After the New Year's Eve, there are many people looking for work. This time should be the time when an automobile factory is least short of manpower.But after he knew about Lin Ming's situation, he not only sympathized, asked Lin Qiao about the child's recovery many times, but also specifically approved him to transfer to leave.

He sat by the child's bed and watched his wounds heal.

The child's body recovered quickly, and the wound had scabbed over, showing a pink-purple color, which was clearly lined by the surrounding skin.Lin Qiao wanted to press it with his fingers, but Lin Ming would hurt, and the nurse wouldn't let him do it casually.His head leaned back, very close to the child's body.The air conditioner in the ward warmed the child's body, and he felt a cold air coming out of him.

The child asked in a low voice, "Where did uncle go?"

"Miss him?" Lin Qiao joked, "Isn't it good to be with my brother?"

Lin Qiao was in a good mood.He had communicated with the relatives of the child two days ago, and they were willing to give him the actual custody.Two days ago, Lin Changqing hurried back after completing the program content.Of course, this is just a verbal adoption and has no legal effect; but the child only needs five or six years to grow up, and at that time he can decide everything by himself.But he hasn't told Lin Ming yet.

"Your uncle went back two days ago and asked me to take care of you temporarily. If you miss him so much, shall I send you to find him?"

The child opened his eyes wide and said, "I don't want him!"

Lin Qiao laughed: "I won't send you back, you will live in my house from now on."

From the base of the ears to the neck, the blush slowly climbed up the child's face.

The child was already fatter than before, with bulging cheeks. Standing in his position, Lin Qiao looked down from above. First he had black hair, and then his white and soft face. He seemed angry, but more shy. .

At a certain moment, Lin Qiao felt as if a fire was raised in his heart, burning in the corner, driving away the darkness; every thoughtful care from the child silently turned into a stream to nourish his dry heart, but he did not expect that will become a raging sea.

Two people came out of the hospital.When the cold wind blows, they are all refreshed.

Lin Xiaoming was blown by the cold wind, his nose was red from the cold, he was pitiful.

Lin Qiao regained his strength, the big stone in his heart disappeared, and led the child home with a smile.

"hurry up!"

He dragged the child, stepping on the creaking snow.This patch of low roofs was covered with white edges, revealing a large expanse of bright sky.The moon hangs on the zenith like a golden lantern.Lin Qiao's big warm hands wrapped the child's.There seems to be a song singing in the not lively night.

Chapter 14

Little by little, the child unknowingly becomes an adult.

He is much taller than when he was a child, and his facial features are still the same.Because of his long body, his ribs can be clearly seen on his undressed upper body, but his skeleton is already close to that of an adult.Looking from behind, he looked like a not very strong young man.Lin Qiao always said that he was not as delicate and cute when he grew up as a child.

The two don't see each other very often now.

Lin Ming's school is next to a sports square far from the city center. From there, it takes three to 10 minutes by bus to return to the place where the two live.The bus passes by the coastal road, and along the way you can see the evergreen phlox, which blooms red and white flowers in summer.Lin Qiao took him across many times, sometimes facing the river wind and sea wind, they simply stood on the bridge to watch the glistening sunset.

But Lin Qiao hadn't visited him since he lived in school.

Lin Qiao also insisted on living on campus.Lin Ming said that since the school’s transportation is so convenient, he can completely maintain the same school habits as in junior high school—he has already adapted very well and proved that he will not delay his studies.But Lin Qiao told him the tension and importance of studying in the second year of high school, and what other parents were talking about, desperately persuading him to experience the dormitory life, and promised to visit him often at school after school.Lin Ming didn't want to change the model at all: the dormitory is not as big as a room for two, but it can accommodate four; and everyone has only one bed and one desk.

He said, "If I hate living on campus you have to pick me up."

At that time, Lin Qiao was very sincere: "Don't worry, you can tell me anytime."

But the fact is that after the first week, Lin Ming called Lin Qiao behind his back and told Lin Qiao that someone was snoring and that he couldn't sleep well at all. The request to be made was rejected.Lin Qiao is indeed a giant in words, and he will send a phone call almost every day.But Lin Ming was dissatisfied with his perfunctory actions, and hadn't answered Lin Qiao's call for three days.

He is actually very strange.On the day when he was sent to the dormitory, Lin Qiao rushed to help him carry his luggage like a real out-of-town parent. Normally, he would never keep both hands busy when he could play with his mobile phone.When he went to register, Lin Qiao not only made his bed, but even bought a lot of snacks from the nearby supermarket.Lin Ming said, "I'd better live at home." But Lin Qiao slowly refused.He could see that Lin Qiao was also sad.Lin Qiao's emotions are always very obvious. When he is happy or excited, he will speak very fast, and he can talk about daily trivial matters with gusto; but if he is sad and sad, he will often laugh in agreement, but will not take the initiative Speak up.That day, he pursed his mouth into a line, opened his mouth occasionally, and looked for topics bluntly, appearing clumsy.He was afraid that if he stayed for a long time, it would affect his will, so he gave Lin Ming a hug and left.

After Lin Ming refused to answer Lin Qiao's calls for three consecutive days, he hesitated whether to apologize.

But Lin Qiao was obviously more anxious than him.

He has always been a little absent-minded these two days, and his fingers have been pressed on the dial icon, but they always move away in the end.He only dared to call Lin Ming at a fixed time every day.And Lin Ming hasn't replied for three days.

He walked around twice impatiently and smoked a cigarette in the toilet.

It's only eleven o'clock.

But today is Saturday!Lin Ming's school does not need make-up classes on weekends for the time being!

Lin Qiao hesitated and dialed the phone.Got connected immediately.

"Lin Qiao?" asked the other side in a low voice.There were voices of boys and girls talking and laughing in the background, which was extremely lively; but the excitement gradually faded away, and Lin Ming walked to the window.

"Lin Qiao?" the other side asked more loudly.

"Hey." Lin Qiao reacted.Lin Ming has refused to call him brother since he was in junior high school, the reason is too childish.However, the combination of names and surnames sometimes gave Lin Qiao the illusion that the two were of the same age.

Lin Qiao closed the door and leaned against the pillar relaxedly: "Are you guys on vacation?"

"Release." Lin Ming felt that the two-word short answer was too indifferent, and added: "The school only started tutoring in the third year of high school." This is a key high school. Although there are some children who don't like studying, most of them are more conscious and hardworking.In Lin Ming's dormitory, only one person went home to get the quilt and clothes.

But Lin Qiao considered his words word by word, and still thought that Lin Ming was angry with him.As for which point, he is not quite sure.Maybe it's because I didn't believe what I said?Or didn't promise him to come back?Only he himself knows how much he hopes to see Lin Ming when he returns home on the weekend, whether it is doing homework or playing games, and of course it is best to cook the meals as usual, he has not eaten properly for a week.He may also need to get used to the classic lunch in the company cafeteria, but it doesn't taste very good.But what can he do?He needs to adapt to the days when Lin Ming is not around in the future just like he adapts to lunch in the cafeteria.Now is just the beginning.

In fact, all the pain came from the summer vacation when Lin Ming graduated from junior high school.

A group of students who had just finished their exams happily went out to the party.It turned out that Lin Qiao asked for leave to celebrate with Lin Ming, but there was still no one at ten o'clock in the evening.When Lin Qiao rushed to the place where they were singing, the boy and a girl hid in a corner and talked very intimately.He walked over and was surprised to find that it was his family's child, still wearing the black jacket he bought two days ago.Before he could speak at all, he saw the girl running away with her face flushed.Lin Ming turned his head and saw him, his face also turned red, as if flushed with blood.Lin Ming looked very different that day, a bit of a wise man's meditation and a bit of a teenager's confusion. "Hey, Lin Qiao." At that time, he was very used to calling him by his first and last names like this. "A girl seems to like me." Occasionally, they would share various stories with each other in such an intimate tone as friends.This was the first time Lin Ming talked about men and women, but Lin Qiao didn't want to hear it at all.He was very confused, just like the little girl who ran away with a blushing face just now.But Lin Ming still opened up sincerely and without hesitation: "She's a nice person, and she's also pretty."

Lin Qiao remembered that he asked next: "Then do you like her?"

"I don't know. I don't seem to like it. After all, I have rejected her."

"Then don't let the other party misunderstand."

Lin Qiao said deliberately.At this time, his trance-like mind suddenly cleared up.He is finished.Lin Qiao was sure that he breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the boy sitting across from him say "refusal".This means too much, he is already an adult, although he has only had one or two not-so-deep emotional experiences, he is not a fool after all.Even if you didn't understand it before, you can't lie to yourself or others and make excuses that you don't understand it now.He likes Lin Ming, as if he likes it, the kind of liking a man has for a woman, and a woman for a man.

That's really terrible!Lin Ming is still so, so young, he still needs to grow
