i might like my brother

The winter in the countryside is always clear and bright, with heavy snow growing along the way, gently kissing the villages and mountains and streams.

Beauty is beauty, but it is a little cold.

Li Chibin rushed out of the car with his down jacket, was embraced by the oncoming cold wind, shrank his neck back to the car and put on the down jacket, took the hat and gloves that Lu Sha handed him, and buried his head in the white woolen scarf Inside, a face was set off by snow.

"Aren't you cold?" Li Chibin saw that Li Jinzhi was only wearing a shirt and a black down jacket on his upper body, while he covered four or five underwear, and got out of the car chubbyly.

"No." Li Jinzhi didn't want to say more, he put his hands in his pockets, and the scorching breath he exhaled mixed with the cold air, converging into water mist and slowly blooming.

Li Chibin was also used to Li Jinzhi's half-cold temper, so he didn't say anything.Li Tunan was shivering from the cold, Lu Sha put her rabbit hat on for him, and Li Tunan didn't refuse.

"I have to transfer to a bus." Li Tunan cupped his hands and let out a breath, then took the gloves from Li Chibin and put them on: "Let's go to the bus station first."

"Oh."

Li Chibin took off his gloves, squeezed his fingers, and followed Li Nan's pace.

As soon as he got on the bus, Li Chibin started playing with his mobile phone, and turned off his mobile phone angrily when he got a system traffic warning while playing games.He looked back at Li Jinzhi who was sitting in the back row.

Then their eyes met again.Li Chibin was flustered, and Li Jinzhi turned his head out of the car window expressionlessly, his eyes filled with snowflakes outside the window again.

"Want to eat?" Li Chibin handed Li Jinzhi a crispy shark.

Li Jinzhi ignored Li Chibin, let alone turned his head to look at him, and frowned slightly looking out the window.

Li Chibin retracted his outstretched hand, peeled off the package by himself, and finished the crispy shark in three bites.

"What's wrong with your brother?" Lu Sha just came back from paying for the ticket, and asked Li Chibin first without rushing back to her seat.

"How do I know?" Li Chibin piled up the food packaging angrily.

"Don't mess with him." Li Tunan lowered his head and took a sip of his coffee, "If I tell you, you two shouldn't have forced him."

Lu Sha pursed her lips and said nothing, she sat on her seat and began to touch up her makeup.

Li Chibin felt that Li Jinzhi didn't seem to be timid because of his closeness to his hometown, but as if he was... afraid.Yes, if you have to use one word to describe it.

"Go ahead, it's here." Li Tunan took off his glasses and put them back in the glasses case, closed his computer and got up to pack his things.

In Bo County, the snow did not stop at 4 pm.

The bus station was filled with heavy snow, and was eroded by people passing by.

Bo County is more like a scenic homestay, but there are not so many tourists here, especially in the off-season of tourism, most of them go home to visit relatives like them.

There are quite a lot of small stalls and hawkers on the street, shouting up and down, and colorfully occupying the narrow and cramped county town. The house in my hometown has to walk a section of the mountain road, which is not a very high mountain. This section of the road is a must.

"Did you call Mom? Do you need to buy some new year's goods to go back?"

"Yes." Li Tunan looked down at Lu Sha: "She told me."

"Oh, let's go shopping first." Lu Sha excitedly pointed to the small square opposite, which is a relatively large commercial center in the county.

Li Chibin thought to himself that the New Year's goods in Lu Sha's eyes are probably "new clothes bought for the New Year", "new cosmetics bought for the New Year" and "new shoes and bags bought for the New Year".And Lu Sha also proved to him that he was right.Li Tunan couldn't bear the old face and asked his two sons to go to the women's clothing store with him, so he simply transferred 2000 yuan to Li Jinzhi:

"You take the money and take your brother to buy some New Year's goods, he is too good at spending money. Gather at the station later."

Li Jinzhi nodded and went to the small commodity street opposite to the business center.Li Chibin followed Li Jinzhi and didn't bother him, just looked around on his own.

Li Chibin turned around a lot, holding all kinds of gadgets in his hands, Li Jinzhi stopped talking, and Li Chibin still stuffed a lot of things in his arms.

Li Jinzhi simply transferred the money to Li Chibin, and walked slowly behind him without buying anything, but only then did he know why Li Tunan said that Li Jinzhi would not spend money.

"Why did you buy this?" Li Jinzhi couldn't hold back his words, watching Li Chibin enter a jewelry store, picking and choosing from a shelf of small flower headgear.

"Hey, my grandma's neighbor is a 7-year-old girl. I promised to buy her something last year." Li Chibin held the hair rope and compared it to Li Jinzhi's head, and Li Jinzhi took two steps back silently. , and then Li Chibin muttered "It looks good", bought a little white rabbit headband, and watched Li Jinzhi smile happily.

Li Jinzhi was noncommittal, Li Chibin was naturally attractive to little girls, but he had never seen him have a girlfriend at such an age, maybe he had, but Li Jinzhi never asked about such things.

Li Chibin took a stroll around, and in addition to buying walnuts, persimmon cakes, sugar, and dried fruits for the new year, he also bought a lot of firecrackers such as fairy sticks, little flying eagles, ring flowers, candy fireworks, key chains, and toilet paper. , Rubik's Cube, Ceramic Cat Claw Cup, Little White Rabbit Headband, Mosquito Repellent Bracelet (?)...

Li Jinzhi wanted to go home.

"Okay! Let's go." Li Chibin held a pile of spoils with great satisfaction.

Li Jinzhi didn't speak, but after walking around with Li Chibin, the uneasiness in the car just now has eased a lot.

"Did you give Li Chibin the money?" Li Tunan looked at the little white rabbit headband on one of Li Chibin's wrists and asked Li Jinzhi.

Li Jinzhi watched suspiciously, Lu Sha only cared about playing with the "New Year's goods" she bought, and Li Chibin happily lowered his head to play with the Rubik's Cube, not feeling Li Tunan's questioning eyes at all.

Li Tunan sighed and took his two silly sons home.

--

The air in the mountains is crisp and fresh, and even in winter, it is not as sticky and dirty as in the city.

Li Chibin was not in a hurry to go home. He first called out the little girl next door. The little girl had two shofar braids and a big pink padded jacket. She is in the first grade this year, and she was so childish that she called her brother. .Li Chibin knelt down to chat with her.

Li Jinzhi suddenly remembered that when Li Chibin was a child, he also called his brother in a childish voice.

When the little girl hugged Li Chibin and was about to imprint a saliva mark on his face, Li Jinzhi suddenly pulled Li Chibin up, and the bridge of the little girl's nose bumped into Li Chibin's black down jacket, so she didn't kiss him .The little girl pursed her lips if she wanted to cry or not, and looked at Li Chibin pitifully with wide eyes.

"It's time to go." Li Jinzhi looked at Li Chibin, but did not let go of his brother's hand.

Li Chibin looked at his phone, thinking that he had only been in for 5 minutes, but looking at Li Jinzhi's serious and unquestionable face, he still followed him and said, "Ah yes, it's getting late, let's go."

The little girl wrinkled her nose, and Li Jinzhi turned white with anger and went back to the house.

"Why are you angry with her?" Li Chibin paused before remembering: "By the way, I have to go back, the hair rope was not given to her."

Li Jinzhi still didn't let go of the hand holding his wrist, but took off the hair rope from Li Chibin's wrist and held it in the palm of his hand;

"Didn't you buy it for me?"

Li Chibin rolled his eyes at this childish behavior of talking nonsense with his eyes open.

"You said it looks good on me." Li Jinzhi was still talking.

"Yes, yes, it looks good, then put it on quickly." Li Chibin simply waited for him to tie his hair.

"What are you two doing! Go away!" Li Tunan shouted from the front, and then Lu Sha stepped on Li Tunan, as if to say something, what are you urging, the two brothers are exchanging feelings, why interrupt him... ...

The house in my hometown was built by myself. It is a two-storey building with a low fence around the outside. There is a large copper vat in the southeast corner of the yard, and there is a Buddha statue next to it. The incense is burning vigorously.

"Grandma!" Li Chibin stretched his neck and called into the room.

Not long after, a thin old man came out of the house, with a stooped waist and a kind face, the glasses on the bridge of his nose hadn't been taken off yet, his hair was gray, he stepped out to open the door, and promised:

"Come here, grandma has been waiting for you for a long time." Shi Jinhua opened the door and only cared about her little grandson, asking about his health and asking questions, until he called them in before looking up at the group of people accompanying him.

If she snorted when her eyes fell on Lu Sha and her complexion was not very good-looking, then when she missed Li Tunan's body and saw Li Jinzhi, she really saw the ghostly eyes.

"Why are you here!" The old lady pointed at Li Chibin excitedly, but Li Chibin didn't look at her, as if Shi Jinhua was not talking about herself.

"Why can't he come? He is my son and your grandson." Lu Sha hated the old lady like this the most.

"You bastard! He can't be with Xiao Chi! Absolutely not!!!" The old lady took Li Chibin's hand and walked into the room. Li Tunan stopped her and said:

"Mom, can you wake up? He is also your grandson, don't let those Taoist priests talk nonsense!"

"Okay! Are you calling me nonsense now? Have you forgotten how Li Jinzhi harmed my good grandson again? A disaster is a disaster!" The old lady changed her voice, glanced at Lu Sha and said, " When I asked you to throw him away, wouldn't everything be fine?"

"What nonsense are you talking about!" Lu Sha cursed in anger, wishing to throw her bag on her body, but he was an old man and her own mother-in-law, so he didn't really throw it on her.In the past two years, she only brought Li Chibin with her, and the old lady lived in peace and harmony. This year, when she saw Li Jinzhi, the tricky and aggressive nature in her bones became a prototype.

Li Jinzhi didn't speak, just frowned. He always disliked chaos, and he probably felt uncomfortable at the moment, so he just walked out the door and left, leaving the whole room noisy.

Li Chibin was watching in a daze, and when he saw Li Jinzhi leaving, he broke free from the old lady's hand and chased after him. Shi Jinhua called Li Chibin's name from behind, but Li Chibin didn't look back.

Li Jinzhi went all the way to the top of the mountain, and Li Chibin caught up and sat on a stone beside him to rest, holding his legs and panting.

"Aren't you going to explain it to me?"

Li Jinzhi turned his head, looking straight into Li Chibin's eyes with a pair of calm eyes, squatted down to be at eye level with Li Chibin who was sitting on the stone, and put his hands on Li Chibin's side to support the stone surface.Li Chibin didn't know how long it had been, until Li Jinzhi let go of one hand, took off his down jacket, and started to unbutton the first button of his shirt collar, Li Chibin became restless.
