Unexpected desire

Jiang Yi will not officially graduate until June next year, but there are no classes now, so he will come out for an internship this winter ahead of schedule.

Jiang Yi didn't accept any teacher's invitation, and didn't go to his father's company. Jiang Yi still followed his own ideas and found an internship unit by himself.

Originally, he was worried that his father would get involved in obstructing him, but Father Jiang's current thoughts were on another matter.

In his opinion, whether it is the job Jiang Yi chose himself or the new friends he made, they are all jokes, and it is just his son's impulsiveness.Jiang Yi will realize his mistake sooner or later, and he will definitely regret it at that time, and come to beg him pitifully again, just like he did back then.

These are just a matter of time, Father Jiang also told Jiang Yi that he can tolerate him and give him some time to deal with it.

The grandma of the Jiang family returned from vacation in a small town in Europe. Since she hadn't seen her for a long time, Jiang Yi went to visit her soon.

Grandma also seemed to understand something, but she didn't tell the truth. Instead, she held Jiang Yi's hand and asked, "Da Yi, you have always been grandma's good grandson, so you won't lie to me, right?"

This question made Jiang Yi's heart tighten. On the surface, he nodded in response to "um", and said something like "I won't let her worry about it", but he was suffering and tormented in his heart.

Seeing grandma that day, after returning from Jiang's mansion, Jiang Yi had a serious face, appearing to be preoccupied.He took out the folding bed again, this time he slept on it himself, and asked Tang Peiyi to sleep on his big bed alone.

Tang Peiyi was a little confused, shook his head, and wanted to say that he could sleep in other places, such as the sofa or the floor, but Jiang Yi didn't give him the room to refuse, and he insisted on sleeping on the bed.

After the two slept in separate beds, Jiang Yi never touched Tang Peiyi again, not even the occasional kiss on the forehead or simple hugs.

That night, Tang Peiyi was quietly doing homework in the study with the desk lamp on.Jiang Yi went to the balcony to answer his father's call, just finished the call, and after hanging up, he received another message from Pang Qingya.

Tomorrow is Saturday, and she plans to ask Jiang Yi out to play again.

Jiang Yi squeezed between his brows, he didn't want to reply because of a headache, but remembering his father's instructions on the phone just now, Jiang Yi had no choice but to be patient, and replied——

[I have something to do this week, let's choose another day. 】

Jiang Yi went upstairs to go back to the bedroom. When passing by the study, he saw Tang Peiyi's profile through the crack of the door.His brows were slightly frowned, as if he was thinking about some problem.

Seeing this, Jiang Yi knocked on the door and entered, and asked Tang Peiyi to show him the collection of wrong questions for each subject.

Tang Peiyi was taken aback for a moment, but then obediently followed suit.For the three important subjects of mathematics and mathematics, Tang Peiyi has prepared a set of wrong questions. Among them, the set of wrong questions for mathematics is naturally the thickest, and it is filled with various types of questions.

Jiang Yi looked through it quickly, and then simply sat opposite Tang Peiyi.He took out his pen and taught Tang Peiyi one question on the draft paper. On the one hand, he explained the questions, and on the other hand, he also helped him recall and review the knowledge points, hoping that he would not stumble repeatedly on the same type, and learn to infer other things from one instance.

Unlike ordinary boys, Tang Peiyi really didn't have much talent in science, so he could only make up for it with diligence, so he took notes quite seriously. His neat and neat handwriting also showed his attitude towards learning.

Jiang Yi heard from the teachers of the tutoring agency that Tang Peiyi's grades had improved significantly a while ago, but now they have regressed. I wonder if it is because of his mentality?Anyway, in the recent mock exams, Tang Peiyi's performance fluctuated from good to bad, very unstable.

The owner of the coffee shop where he worked also saw that Tang Peiyi was in a trance, because he had delivered the wrong things for several days and was complained and scolded by customers.

Now that the temperature keeps dropping and the weather is getting colder, Jiang Yi asked Tang Peiyi to study more and it is best to stay at home.As for the coffee shop, don't go there on Monday to Friday nights.

Tang Peiyi froze for a moment, but said nothing.

Jiang Yi didn't go out this weekend, and has been helping Tang Peiyi with tutoring.But on Monday night, Jiang Yi called Tang Peiyi and said that he had an appointment with someone after get off work, and he might come back late, so he told Tang Peiyi not to wait for him.

At eleven o'clock in the evening, Jiang Yi opened the door with the key. Not only was he reeking of alcohol, but his collar was stained with a woman's lipstick, but his consciousness was very clear and he was not drunk.

There were several dishes and a bowl of rice on the table in the living room. Naturally, Tang Peiyi prepared them and left them specially for him.Jiang Yi glanced at it hastily, he was already full and couldn't eat at all.

Jiang Yi went to the study on the second floor, he didn't knock on the door tonight, he just opened the door and came in.

Tang Peiyi was taken aback, and the colored pencils in his hand accidentally rolled down and rolled to Jiang Yi's feet.

Jiang Yi bent down to pick it up, and frowned instantly. He approached Tang Peiyi: "Have you finished your homework? Why are you drawing again?"

The smell of alcohol came to the face, a little pungent, and Jiang Yi, who had drunk tonight, also looked a little fierce.

With trembling voice, Tang Peiyi said slowly, "Do...it's done."

Looking down at the drawing paper on the table, Jiang Yi immediately picked it up and looked at it: "It's still so ugly! Little idiot, is this a dog or a pig you drew?"

"Uh... yes, it's a bear."

"Huh? Why did you suddenly draw a bear?"

Tang Peiyi had painted figures before, but was ridiculed by Jiang Yi, saying that he was ugly, and he was a soul painter; later he thought that it was more difficult to draw figures, so he could start with animals.

He had also noticed long ago that there was always a gray bear doll beside Jiang Yi's bed, which should have some unique meaning to him.

"I saw a little bear on my brother's bed."

"So, do you think I like bears?" It seemed that some sensitive nerve had been touched, and all the boredom accumulated in these days suddenly rushed up, Jiang Yi suddenly shouted, "Tang Peiyi, when did you become so self-righteous?" !"

"Yes... sorry, sorry!"

Tang Peiyi didn't expect Jiang Yi's reaction to be so big at all. The frightened Tang Peiyi quickly apologized, thinking about calming down Jiang Yi, and was going to tear up the drawing paper directly.

Jiang Yi grabbed his hand and stopped Tang Peiyi in time.Jiang Yi still wanted to say something, but he opened his mouth, but couldn't speak for a while.

Holding Tang Peiyi's hand, Jiang Yi pulled him out of the study to the living room on the first floor.

Jiang Yi found out the medicine for sobering up, and then poured water and gulped himself a few mouthfuls.After taking the hangover medicine, Jiang Yi still had a headache and chest tightness, and felt uncomfortable, so he swallowed a few more nutritional capsules.

Seeing this, Tang Peiyi remembered Jiang Yingxin's previous visit and replaced all these medicines. He also said that Jiang Yi had suffered from severe depression and mania, and there were signs of relapse recently.

Tang Peiyi couldn't help but reached out and patted Jiang Yi's back, to please him, and also supported him to sit on the sofa: "Brother, are you... all right? Are you okay now?"

Jiang Yi rubbed between his brows, his expression gradually calmed down: "Tang Peiyi, stop apologizing all the time, I'm the one who should say 'I'm sorry'."

Tang Peiyi froze. When Jiang Yi got angry at him just now, he was flustered and at a loss. He didn't realize the grievance. Now he smelled the smell of alcohol on Jiang Yi's body and saw the lipstick marks on his neckline. Sour.

"I don't like bears, but I used to like that little bear puppet very much, because it was a gift from my mother." Jiang Yi calmed down, mentioned the little gray bear by the bed, and began to talk.

When Jiang Yi was ten years old, Jiang's mother gave him a little bear puppet as a birthday present.Unlike girls, boys seldom like cute dolls and dolls, but because they were given by their mother, Jiang Yi kept them and was reluctant to throw them away.

Later, Jiang's mother insisted on divorcing Jiang's father and left the house, but the little bear remained.In the blink of an eye, more than ten years have passed, Jiang Yi has grown up, and Xiao Xiong is also old, slowly fading. The color of his body used to be brownish, but now it is grayish.

Jiang Yi puts the little bear doll in a conspicuous place, every time he sees it, he will think of his mother.

This bear is entrusted with his care and thoughts for his mother, and he also wants to go back to the past and still be a baby son who needs his mother's care and love.It's a pity that things are different, and looking at the little bear now, Jiang Yi couldn't tell whether it was more joy or more sorrow and pain.

Knowing the story behind the little bear doll, Tang Peiyi took out his mobile phone and played the nursery rhymes his mother used to sing.

In the silent night, the nursery rhymes that I missed when I was young sounded. The tune of the whole song is soft and soothing, and the melody is beautiful. Tang Peiyi hopes to use the gentle female voice to soothe Jiang Yi's heart, because he has fallen into despair countless times and has nightmares at night. , are all supported by these.

After one song was sung, Tang Peiyi was about to play the next one, and Jiang Yi said at this time: "It's ok, thank you."

Both of them are equivalent to children who lost their mothers, and it is inevitable that they will have some empathy.The matter of parents' divorce and separation has always been an unhealed wound in Jiang Yi's heart. Once it is mentioned, it touches his back.

But at this moment, he was thinking, why doesn't Tang Peiyi feel sad, pitiful and helpless?

"Tang Peiyi, your mother should not be dead."

Before Jiang Yi finished speaking, Tang Peiyi couldn't help trembling, his eyes widened.

Seeing his stunned look, Jiang Yi went on to say that he sent people to investigate for more than three months, from summer to winter, in several relevant cities in China, and also tried to check the entry and exit records in recent years.They found a bunch of women with the same name and surname as Tang's mother, and then checked the information and visited them on the spot to exclude them one by one.

Jiang Yi also asked someone to keep an eye on the list of patients in major hospitals who died every year due to accidents. This part of the information is too much and too complicated, but so far no woman who is suspected to be Jiang's mother has been found.

In addition, Mama Tang's hometown, the city where she bid farewell to her son Tang Peiyi for the last time, was always watched by people, and would contact Jiang Yi whenever Mama Tang appeared.

"But where she is now, I can't find out for the time being, but I believe that sooner or later there will be a whereabouts."

After hearing this, Tang Peiyi couldn't help but wiped the moist and reddened corners of his eyes.

Except when he was doing that kind of thing with Jiang Yi, he couldn't hold it back and shed physical tears. Tang Peiyi didn't shed tears in front of Jiang Yi because of other things.

He held back his tears, but instead showed a bright smile: "Brother, you are the best brother I have ever seen, and the world treats me best! Bar none!"

"Little idiot, are you stupid? I obviously beat you just now."

"Is there? No, my brother made a mistake."

"Did I remember wrong?"

"Well, brother, you are drunk. I won't take those angry words in my heart. It's too late, you should go to bed quickly."

Another month passed in a blink of an eye, and it was the middle and late December.Last night was the first snow of this winter, and the snow was very thick. Tang Peiyi got up this morning and opened the curtains, and saw the crystal snowflakes condensed on the window. He looked out the window, and it was a white world covered in silver .

His eyes suddenly lit up, and he lay in front of the window, sighing how beautiful the snow scene was, and gradually lost his mind.

"Don't be in a daze! Tang Peiyi, pick it up!"

At this time, Jiang Yi not far away threw him a big red scarf.

Seeing Tang Peiyi was stunned, Jiang Yi said again: "Why? Don't you like it? Or do you like the one on my neck better?"

As he spoke, he pointed to the black scarf around his neck.

Except for the different colors, the two scarves have the same style and shape, obviously they are couple scarves of the same brand.

"I like it very much! Thank you brother!"

Tang Peiyi grinned, and immediately wrapped the scarf around her neck.

A few days later, Jiang Yi bought another red suitcase, which was still a gift for Tang Peiyi.This time Tang Peiyi was stunned, not in a very happy mood, and vaguely guessed the reason for Jiang Yi's gift.

Tang Peiyi is now used to arranging clothes and scrubbing schoolbags when she is free, as if she is ready to leave at any time.As long as Jiang Yi said a word to him, he would leave without saying a word.

Jiang Yi saw all this in his eyes, but he never said the word "go".

One day, he couldn't bear it anymore, patted Tang Peiyi and said, "Don't clean it up, you little idiot. Hurry up and read a book and do the quiz! It's cold now, and when the weather warms up, it won't be too late for you to clean up. Then..."

Jiang Yi paused for a moment, and almost slipped his mouth, but Tang Peiyi had already understood it, so he just nodded and said "OK".

At the end of December, it was Jiang Yi's birthday.

Tang Peiyi has long kept this date in his heart, and has been thinking over and over again what gift he should give him?

If Jiang Yi has something he wants, Tang Peiyi is completely willing to spend all his wages from a part-time job for several months, but unfortunately Jiang Yi should have everything, so Tang Peiyi thinks that the most important thing is his heart.

While studying a while ago, Tang Peiyi also took the time to practice painting. He drew various animals and plants, copied scenery, and figures. Although his painting skills are not as good as Jiang Yi's now, at least his eyes are not so sharp.

This time Tang Peiyi bought a picture frame, and put the bear he hand-painted and the cartoon Jiang Yi secretly painted, and put these two pieces of drawing paper into it for safekeeping.

He also went to the most famous local temple to pray to gods and worship Buddha, and bought a string of Buddhist beads bracelets, which he planned to give to Jiang Yi.I hope that Jiang Yi will be safe and smooth in this life, and he must maintain a good attitude at all times, not to relapse, to be irritable at every turn, to be calm when things happen, and to make money with harmony.

All the presents are OK, Tang Peiyi specially changed into new clothes today, and she also wears the red scarf Jiang Yi gave her around her neck.Afterwards, after setting up candles on the cake he made himself, Tang Peiyi rubbed his little hands, waiting for Jiang Yi to come home with great anticipation.

However, Jiang Yi did not come back for a long time.

Jiang Yi went back to their Jiang family mansion today, because his cousin Jiang Yingxin, Jiang's grandma and aunt, and other senior members of Jiang's family were all planning to celebrate his birthday. The birthday party had already been prepared, and Jiang Yi's classmates and friends were also invited. .

Tang Peiyi also heard that his father had also returned from abroad. The father and son hadn't seen each other for a long time, so Jiang Yi should be very happy.

At around ten o'clock in the evening, Jiang Yi sent a message to Tang Peiyi, saying that he might be late tonight, so Tang Peiyi didn't have to wait for him and went to bed earlier.

Tang Peiyi replied: "It's okay, brother just go home before 12 o'clock, I'll wait for you!"

As a result, more than an hour passed, and Tang Peiyi was about to fall asleep after waiting. He rubbed his tired eyes and found that it was already past [-]:[-].

Seeing that there were less than 10 minutes left, Tang Peiyi could no longer wait dryly, and Tang Peiyi, who was really impatient, held an umbrella and hurried out in the rain.

It was a dark winter night, the wind was howling outside, the rain was getting heavier, and there were ice beads in it. It looked like snow was falling again.

Tang Peiyi's cheek was cut by the ice slag, but he bit his trembling lower lip and walked out of the community all the way on the snow.

At the first intersection, Tang Peiyi was about to turn right, but found Jiang Yi's car under the dimly lit street lights.

It was a very familiar license plate number, and Tang Peiyi recognized it at a glance.Unexpectedly, Jiang Yi's car was parked on the side of the road, Tang Peiyi didn't have time to think about the reason, so he ran over with a smile.

Just as he was about to knock on the car window, he vaguely saw two figures inside the car.

One is Jiang Yi, and the other looks tall and slender, with brown curly hair, obviously a woman.

The woman's red lips were curved, she closed her eyes suddenly and moved closer to Jiang Yi, and she could stick to Jiang Yi's lips in the next moment.

Tang Peiyi's heart sank suddenly!

The joyful light in his eyes was completely extinguished just now, and the umbrella in his hand fell to the ground. He froze in place for a few seconds, then turned around and ran like crazy.
