i might like my brother

The TV in the lobby downstairs was playing the news loudly, Li Chibin didn't bother to go back to the room after lunch, and leaned on the sofa to play with his mobile phone.Boss Huang's youngest son was playing Lego with a female customer's son on the floor. Li Jinzhi helped wash the dishes in the kitchen, and Li Tunan and Lu Sha went back to sleep after eating.

This is what Li Jinzhi saw when he came out of the kitchen.

The TV in the hall was turned down, the picture was festive and peaceful, and the background music was playing Gong Xi Fa Cai, but it was not noisy.The humming sound of the air conditioner was faintly heard, and the wind blowing out lifted a few locks of Li Chibin's hair. Li Chibin breathed steadily and long, and fell asleep.

Boss Huang's son, Huang Tiantian, and the female customer's son, Xiao Da, were building Lego blocks silently on the floor, but Xiao Da accidentally damaged Huang Tiantian's "aircraft carrier". Only one look is fierce and tearful:

"Shh!" Li Jinzhi signaled the two children to go out to play, went back to the room and took a soft blanket to lay on Li Chibin, closed the half-hidden hall door, looked back and saw that Li Chibin had half-opened his eyes and sat up He looked at himself blankly.

"Awoke you?"

"No." Li Chibin stretched lazily with a long tone.

"Then go back to sleep, the sofa is uncomfortable."

"Oh." Li Chibin recognized his own soft blanket, and went back to the house wrapped in a gray-blue blanket and slippers.

Under Lu Sha's arrangement, the two of them lived in a double room. Fortunately, it was not a couple's bed for two, which made it less embarrassing for the two of them.

Li Chibin went back to the house with a blanket and threw himself on the bed to sleep. Li Jinzhi was on the other bed next to the window. Seeing that Li Chibin was asleep, he went to turn up the temperature of the air conditioner, and sat on the side of the bed. Read a book page by page on the sofa.

Li Chibin slept until five o'clock, it was already dark, Li Jinzhi lit an orange floor lamp, the light in the room was still very dark, so that Li Chibin woke up and walked over covered with a quilt None found.

"What book are you reading?" Li Chibin flipped over to Li Jinzhi's book cover, García Márquez's "One Hundred Years of Solitude".

"The masterpiece of Latin American magic realism literature, known as 'a masterpiece that reproduces the historical and social landscape of Latin America'. The work describes seven generations of the Buendia family..."

"Ah, don't listen, don't listen..." Li Chibin covered his ears.

"The past is all fake. Memories are a way of no return. All the past springs can't be recovered. Even the most ardent and steadfast love is in the end just a fleeting reality. Only loneliness is eternal." Li Jin Zhi suddenly read a few lines from the book: "I like this sentence very much."

"You like to be alone?"

"I don't like it." Li Jinzhi told the truth and closed the book: "Modern people talk about loneliness mostly with hypocrisy and secondary narcissism."

Li Chibin hadn't read the book yet, and didn't want to have a deep chat, so he looked up and found that there was a backyard in the house.

"Are all the hot springs in their house indoors? I thought it was the big pool in the northern bathhouse..." Li Chibin couldn't wait to push open the door. Bamboo groves keep the hot spring pool very low.

Now the hot spring pool has not been filled with water, and there are bare rocks at the bottom of the pool.If you want to soak for a while, you can find Boss Huang, and there are bottles and cans beside him.There are rose petal compresses, massage essential oils, and...KY and sets.

Didn't Lu Sha say that this is not a couple's room?

Li Chibin watched for a while and lost his initial excitement. After packing up his clothes, Lu Sha called him to help with the cooking.

The dinner was more sumptuous, counted as a New Year's Eve dinner, a bowl of crispy meatballs, fish and roast chicken was set up on a whole table, and more than a dozen people gathered at the table to eat.

After Li Jinzhi refused Li Chibin to drink the fourth cup of carbonated drink, he picked up two chopsticks of green vegetables for him. Li Chibin casually returned Li Jinzhi's few spoonfuls of vegetables and began to concentrate on eating.

After dinner, Lu Sha, Xiao Da's mother, and Mrs. Huang brought Li Tunan to a table of mahjong and had a good time. Xiao Da was still arguing with Huang Tiantian about who broke the aircraft carrier. Boss Huang stopped him from beating someone.

The living room was in chaos, and no one cared about the upcoming gala.

"I want to go to the hot spring." Li Chibin finished eating the last melon seed and went back to the house to take a bath. Li Jinzhi asked Boss Huang to release the hot spring water and then took a bath himself.

After coming out, Li Chibin had been soaking in the hot spring pool for a while, with half of his face buried in the water, bubbling and bubbling, as if Li Chibin thought it was fun.

The hot spring pool is not big, and it can hold three or four people. It is perfectly fine for two men to sit in it, but it is not good for activities. What's more, Li Jinzhi has no plans to go to the hot spring with Li Chibin at all, so Across the frosted glass that separates the backyard from Li Chibin, they sat in the room and continued to read the unfinished book just now.

"Brother?" Li Chibin was lying beside the hot spring pool, pulling a round gray stone and calling Li Jinzhi.

"What's wrong?" Li Jinzhi looked up at Li Chibin.

"You don't want to soak?"

"Let's talk tomorrow."

"Come on..."

"..."

"Then help me get a little yellow duck, I can't reach it." Li Chibin pointed at the little yellow duck next to those bottles and cans, and regretted it after pointing, Li Jinzhi had already started to look down at the bottles and cans canned.

"Here." Li Jinzhi didn't have much opinion on ky and the set, took the little yellow duck and squeezed it to "cheep" before handing it to Li Chibin.

Li Chibin smiled: "So you just follow me!"

Then he suddenly grabbed Li Jinzhi by the ankle and dragged him into the hot spring pool. Li Jinzhi was startled and his white nightgown was wet.Li Jinzhi looked at Li Chibin stiffly until Li Chibin's voice brought him back to reality.

"What's wrong? It's twisted?"

"No."

Only then did Li Chibin realize that his gesture of holding Li Jinzhi was too ambiguous, so he let go of his hand all of a sudden: "Ahem, I'm done."

Li Chibin climbed onto the shore, wrapped his black swimming trunks around with a towel, wiped himself off, and went outside to put on his nightgown, and put on the frosted glass to cover it up.

Li Jinzhi soaked in the hot spring where Li Chibin stayed, and always felt that the temperature of the hot spring was too high, making his face hot.Li Jinzhi vaguely felt that Li Chibin must like men, but he didn't know what to do.

"Ji..." Li Jinzhi pinched the little yellow duck that Li Chibin left behind, imitating Li Chibin by sinking half of his face into the water and looking at the back of Li Chibin changing clothes reflected on the frosted glass.

The mahjong players outside were still rubbing the circle, but Li Tunan lost too badly and played too well. Boss Huang took Li Tunan's seat.Li Tunan was disgusted by his poker friends and sat on the sofa watching the dance performance of the Spring Festival Gala. After watching it for a while, he felt tired. Like an empty-nest old man with a red sunset, he vomited melon seeds and went to find his two sons.

"Are you going to the Spring Festival Gala with Li Jinzhi? This year's dance is particularly beautiful." Li Tunan lied seriously.

"Go and see for yourself, we'll watch the fireworks later." Li Chibin sat on the small sofa and wiped his hair, while Li Jinzhi took a shower in the bathroom and ignored Li Tunan.

"Fireworks? I want to go too!" Li Tunan was rarely interested: "Where are you?"

"The rooftop." Li Chibin glanced at Li Tunan, hesitating.

"I'm going to ask Boss Huang for the key." Li Tunan finally enjoyed the warm moment of watching the fireworks with his two sons, and volunteered to go to the chess and card room.

--

"Why do you want the key to the rooftop?" Boss Huang pushed out a card: "Touch."

"Watch the fireworks with my two sons." Li Tunan said honestly.

"Why are you going to join in the fun with the two children watching the fireworks?" Lu Sha looked up at Li Tunan, then lowered her head and said, "Nonsense."

"I heard that you made it up by yourself." Lu Sha pushed the card.

"Then I'd better go to the Spring Festival Gala." Li Tunan was speechless, and it really was.He took the key and went back to the room. Li Jinzhi had already showered and changed his clothes. Li Chibin was in the toilet. Li Jinzhi opened the door and saw that it was Li Tunan who was stunned:

"what's up?"

"Give you the key to the rooftop. Aren't you guys watching the fireworks? Tell Xiaochi I won't go with you. My favorite acrobatic show has begun." Li Tunan opened his eyes and said nonsense.

Li Jinzhi still looked blank, Li Tunan had already closed the door to watch his acrobatics.

"Go and see?" Li Jinzhi hooked the key with one finger and turned it around, and asked Li Chibin who had just come out of the toilet.

"Ah um." Li Chibin wiped his clean hands, and led Li Jinzhi upstairs.

At this moment, everyone has started to set off fireworks sporadically. Since fireworks are banned in the city, many people go back to the countryside to set off fireworks during the New Year.

The fireworks and firecrackers that exploded in the distance all turned into a slight sound, blooming enthusiastically in the night, and the moonlight was alluring.

Li Jinzhi brought a lighter and gave Li Chibin:

"Where are the firecrackers you bought?"

"Here." Li Chibin took out the things they bought at the market on the first day: "What do you want to put?"

"Whatever." Li Jinzhi still didn't say anything, and waved his hand for Li Chibin to choose.

Li Chibin set off a bunch of sky monkeys, little flying eagles, ring flowers, and candy fireworks, and felt bored after they were left on. Li Jinzhi didn't speak, just watched the fireworks bloom indifferently.But Li Chibin still didn't stop setting off the fireworks, because when the fireworks were lit to polish Li Jinzhi's cheeks, it was really beautiful.

"Don't let it go?" Li Jinzhi hid in the darkness, watching the fireworks in the distance in Li Chibin's eyes.

"There are still flowers left." Li Chibin waved a bundle of fairy sticks worth three yuan, and gave one to Li Jinzhi.

Li Jinzhi lowered his head and used a lighter to feed the firework stick with fire, and a bunch of sparks splashed out.

"You sweep the floor in a while." Li Chibin suddenly spoiled the scenery, watching the remains of fireworks all over the place.

Li Jinzhi raised his index finger to signal Li Chibin not to speak, Li Chibin shut his mouth and stood on the stage watching Li Jinzhi quietly circle the fireworks.

In this noisy night, Li Jinzhi's life blooms calmly and enthusiastically.

"Happy New Year." Li Chibin heard the first cannon fire, threw down the extinguished fairy stick, jumped down and hugged Li Jinzhi from behind.

Li Jinzhi was stunned for a moment and quickly caught Li Chibin, letting his face rub against his down jacket hat:

"Peace and peace."

I don't know why, but Li Chibin wanted to hug Li Jinzhi very much, and Li Jinzhi didn't need to ask why, it didn't matter whether he crossed the line or not, brothers are still lovers.Because their feelings for each other are tacitly the only one here.
