Tiannan and Beibei

Qin Tian raised his eyebrows, "How to get there?"

"Just... let's go then." Jiang Bei said.

Qin Tian laughed out loud, "You just said that you would take the initiative to be our tour guide, it's a mess."

"Do you need it? There is no charge." Jiang Bei sat up straight.

"You still want to charge?" Qin Tian patted his forehead, "I'm already wearing my clothes, why don't you put in some labor."

"Okay!" Jiang Bei nodded, pulling his fingers on his trouser legs, desperately suppressing the corner of his mouth that was about to bend upwards.

Before he opened the door, he heard Heizi scratching behind the door, clicking, and Jiang Bei cheerfully took out the key.

Dad is out?

Dad hasn't recovered from his cold yet, and it's so cold outside, what are you doing out of the blue?

As soon as the door opened, Heizi rushed forward.Heizi was already an old dog, and he could reach Jiangbei's chest when he stood up. If he hadn't been prepared, Jiangbei would almost have been thrown to the ground.

"Are you bored?" Jiang Bei shook Heizi's front paws, and closed the door, with a note pasted behind it.

——I didn’t answer your call. I’ll go to the city center to unlock someone. It might be late. The food is in the refrigerator.

Went to pick up work again.

Jiangbei sighed.Heizi wagged his tail nervously and followed him into the bedroom.In the past, when Jiang Bei came home from school, he would take Heizi downstairs first, but today he put down his schoolbag and jumped onto the bed with his phone in his arms.Heizi expressed dissatisfaction and climbed onto the bed without paying attention.

——I forgot my school uniform in the washing machine.

After sending a quick text message to Qin Tian, ​​Jiang Bei stared at the phone in a daze.After 10 minutes, the phone rang.

Jiang Bei's heart beat inexplicably fast, and he clicked on it quickly.

—Tsk, I still remember your school uniform.I put it on the balcony, come and get it when you have time.

"Aww!" Jiang Bei rolled around twice with his phone in his arms, his head on Heizi's lap, so frightened that Heizi jumped out of the bed and got under the table to stare at him.

Hehe laughed for a while before Jiang Bei sat up and took off Qin Tian's sweater and pants with some reluctance.He had to hide the clothes until his sister came back.

Chapter 12

As soon as he put on his clothes, there was the sound of the door opening. Jiang Bei hurriedly stuffed the pile of sweaters and trousers into the closet, then put his head into the closet, buried his head in the clothes, and took a deep breath before closing the closet door. He jumped back to the desk, Pretending to do homework.

"Jiangbei." Jiang Nan shouted in the living room.

"Hey." Jiang Bei responded. "It's in the house."

Jiang Nan opened the door and came in, leaning on the door frame with arms folded, Jiang Bei bit the tip of his pen and glanced at her, Jiang Nan walked in, kicked Heizi away from the table, and sat directly on the desk.

"Why kick it again?" Jiang Bei muttered, Heizi went around to the other side of the table aggrieved, and Jiang Bei reached out to stroke the dog's head comfortingly. "It made you feel stupid."

"Stupid dog, no matter how stupid you are, that's all." Jiang Nan glared at the grinning Heizi, who immediately shrank the dog's head under his buttocks.

"You seem to be in a good mood today." Jiang Nan looked at him and said.

Have it?

Where did it come from?

Jiang Bei glanced at Jiang Nan expressionlessly, bowed his head and wrote vigorously.

Jiang Nan was used to Jiang Bei's convulsions and ignoring people, so he didn't ask any more questions, but turned to look at the book in his hand and said, "Where are you doing your homework?"

"Like graffiti?" Jiang Bei whispered.

"Your teacher Li called me this afternoon." Jiang Nan said suddenly.

Jiang Bei's heart skipped a beat.

Teacher Li is the physics teacher in their class, nicknamed Mediterranean, and leads three science classes.Unlike their head teacher and other teachers who turned a blind eye to him, he was clearly just a substitute teacher, but he cared very much about every student he had taught.

I don't know what Mr. Li thinks in his heart. Every time Jiangbei takes the exam, his grades are kept at a level that is basically unnoticeable. He can no longer get in the middle, but Mr. Li is obsessed with believing that he is a plastic talent, and he will be sent to him every now and then. Called into the office for a heartfelt conversation.

The top students in the class are not treated like this.

Jiangbei felt very sad about this.

The stealth skills that have been cultivated for many years seem to be ineffective for Mr. Li.

No need to guess, Mr. Li must have called Jiangnan to tell him about his absence from class yesterday.

Jiang Bei didn't speak.

Jiang Nan was silent for a while, and said, "Sister knows that you are actually very smart, and it is not a problem to get the first place in the school, but you don't like being noticed, and you deliberately write wrong answers every time, I will not say anything, as long as the college entrance examination When it’s time, just don’t take your breath away and write the answer wrong.”

"You really think highly of me." Jiang Bei said.

"My brother, of course I know best." Jiang Nan smiled, "But, since elementary school, you have never been late or left early. Teacher Li told me that you didn't go to school all day yesterday. Can you tell my sister that you Why did you suddenly skip class? Did you get bullied again?"

Jiang Bei clenched the pen tightly, his face was almost on the notebook. "No."

Teacher Li's reaction can be considered slow, and it took a day before he remembered to file a complaint.

Alzheimer's disease?

"Then why did you go? Did you get lost and didn't find the door to the classroom?" Jiang Nan said.

Jiang Bei didn't speak. He stared at the homework that had just been written with few words for a long time before he could say, "Just walk around."

"Jiangbei."

"Ah."

"If you have anything, you can tell my sister." Jiang Nan's tone suddenly became serious, "I knew before that you were often bullied at school, but if you don't want to come back, it's just a minor injury. I can open one I closed my eyes and pretended not to know. But if someone really hurt my precious brother, I would definitely not agree. Tell me the truth, is it because of those little bastards this time?"

Jiang Bei suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, "...well."

Jiang Nan immediately jumped off the table, and stretched out his hand to grab his clothes, "I knew it! Show me where the injury is, is it serious?"

Jiang Bei didn't resist, Ren Jiangan rudely lifted his shirt up, revealing a large bruise on his waist.

This was kicked out by the flat-headed bully in the afternoon. The kick was very heavy, but in fact, I got used to it and didn't feel much pain.

Because it is a new injury, it looks a little shocking.

"Who the fuck is he who doesn't smoke? It's been a day and it's still swollen. Is the rib broken?" Jiang Nan pressed his hand on his waist, and he gasped in pain.

"You still know it hurts! Why didn't you tell me yesterday!" Jiang Nan pulled him up from the chair, "Hurry up and go to the clinic, no, go directly to the hospital to take a picture."

"No, no need!" Jiang Bei quickly grabbed the table, leaned on the table and pouted his buttocks and said, "It's not broken, it's green."

"If you see through your own eyes, you know it's not broken?" Jiang Nan slapped him on the back, "Sooner or later, I will drive you to death!"

"He's alive and kicking when he's mad," Jiang Bei said.

"Do you still want to be beaten up?" Jiang Nan sighed, staring at the bruise, "Sometimes I really don't know what you are thinking in your heart, when mom is around, you are always awkward, Mom is gone, and you still look like a ghost. You don’t like to talk, and you don’t like to communicate with others. Although Dad doesn’t say anything, he’s actually more worried than anyone else. You say you’re not young anymore. You're eighteen, you're an adult, how long are you going to be awkward?"

Jiangbei didn't make a sound.

Jiang Nan said, "In this life, some things cannot be changed, but no matter what, before whose son you are, you are still you, do you understand? Other people's eyes are actually not that important, what matters is what you think of others Look at you. Jiangbei, tell me, what do you want to live like?"

Jiang Bei slowly stood up from the table, lowered his head and said, "I want to live in the sunshine..."

This is the first time he has expressed his thoughts. It's not that he didn't want to say it before, but he didn't think about it.But one day when you feel the warmth of the sun, you will desperately want to escape from the darkness.

Qin Tian was the first ray of sunshine in his life, the one he didn't want to give up.

Jiang Nan didn't speak for a long time.

"Living in the sun is not difficult. Sunshine is not given by others, but you have to fight for it yourself. You are always used to hiding yourself in the dark, and the sun will not shine on you. As long as you are willing, take the initiative to come out , Standing under the sun, there is sunshine everywhere." Jiang Nan touched his head, feeling a little distressed. "I hope my younger brother is as brave and strong as I am, bathed in sunshine every day, but I don't know what to do to make you take the initiative to take a step. The only thing that comforts me is that you have a good brain, although every time The exam is not high, but you have something in your mind. If you can get a good score in the college entrance examination, you can leave here and start a new life. But the premise is that you can let go of the past calmly."

"I understand." Jiang Bei said.

"I know you understand. The question is, before you leave, you will continue to live here for one more year. Do you plan to continue like this for more than one year?" Jiang Nan has always been afraid that such a life will completely destroy Jiang Bei's life. There is no sharp edge left after tempering, and even if he leaves this boring environment by then, it will be difficult for Jiang Bei to start again.

Shadows are daunting, intimidating.

"Think about it for yourself." Jiang Nan patted him on the shoulder, "If you don't want to go to the hospital, then don't go, just rub some medicinal wine later, but if the pain is severe, you must tell me."

"Yes." Jiang Bei responded.

"Go to bed early. If you have nothing to do tomorrow, go to grandpa. Grandma made a cotton coat for dad. Go and get it back."

Grandpa lives in the outskirts of the city, a small village on the back of the mountain.

Grandparents are not real grandparents, but father's parents.But just like his father, he is simple and kind, and has always treated Jiangnan and Jiangbei as his own grandsons.Jiangbei likes to go to grandpa's house every time he is on vacation
