like electricity

The moment the man who was talking to Zhuo Shuang looked over, Jiang Shou's heart skipped a beat.

Have you been found?If found out, will it bring trouble to Zhuo Shuang?

Even if the man turned his eyes away quickly, he couldn't even think about eavesdropping, so he hurried back to the bed and waited for Zhuo Shuang to come back.

Once the door was closed, the conversation between the two people was isolated into another world. He closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, but in the end, the fake show was real, and he really started to fall asleep.

Until there was a loud noise outside, which broke his drowsiness again - being woken up twice in a short period of time, even he couldn't fall asleep anymore.

After an unknown amount of time, the bedroom door was pushed open again.

There was a fresh scent of mint bath liquid in the air, Zhuo Shuang sat on the edge of the bed, Jiangchou clearly felt the mattress sinking to the other side.

"Okay, don't pretend to be asleep, I know you're awake." Zhuo Shuang pinched his nose suddenly, "Little pig, your nose moved."

Jiang Shou, who was short of breath, opened her eyes and whispered, "I can't sleep."

He wasn't sure if his eavesdropping had been discovered, so he didn't dare to look into Zhuo Shuang's eyes.

"I……"

"I'm sorry, I can't admit my relationship with you." Zhuo Shuang said before him, "I dare not let him know that I'm gay..."

Zhuo Shuang didn't finish speaking, but Jiang Shou roughly guessed the content of the second half of the sentence.

Although he had expected this to happen, he still felt a little uncomfortable.On the day of the confession, Zhuo Shuang said similar things: Normally, they can have many sneaky tricks, and they can consider whether to confess to their friends the fact that they are dating, but once this critical moment comes, they have to pretend that nothing happened, Trying to separate the relationship and conceal the existence of the other person, otherwise, what awaits them is a future that no one wants to think about.

"I should have come back sooner." Zhuo Shuang scratched her hair, and Qingjun's brows and eyes showed anxiety that is rarely seen on weekdays, "But I am very annoying, and I don't want to infect you with bad emotions, so I calmed down outside for a while. meeting."

Jiang Shou sat up a little bit, "That person is you... Dad?"

In fact, he knew everything, but he didn't want to act like he knew everything.

If Zhuo Shuang knew that he was eavesdropping just now, would he think he was despicable?

"Yeah." Zhuo Shuang wanted to laugh but couldn't, the corners of his mouth remained in an arc between embarrassment and bitterness, "Even though I really don't want to admit it, he is indeed my legal and blood father."

"Did you quarrel?" Jiang Miao stared at him quietly, not missing any subtle emotional changes.

In the end, the noise of Zhuo Shuang smashing things was a bit loud, and he heard it from here.

"Scared you?"

Jiang Shou shook his head, he was not so easily scared.

"I'm worried about you." He was just worried about this person, "What's going on?"

"It's nothing, it's just a regular meal."

Zhuo Shuang didn't seem to want to talk very much, so he wisely stopped asking.

"I don't want to know."

Zhuo Shuang looked at him for a while, then let out a slow breath, "You met my mother, and then you told me she looked difficult."

Jiang worry nodded.Even half a corridor away, one could tell that she was an extremely difficult woman—like a white rose covered with thorns, beautiful but not allowing anyone to get close.

Zhuo Shuang raised her face, her pupils were like a piece of clear and transparent glass, filled with sadness, "Although she is a psychopath now, she was not like this before, what can I say about her before... she just looks indifferent, but she is a psychopath in essence. Very gentle person."

Although this tenderness never fell on him, through other people's narration and past audio-visuals, he pieced together a beautiful and gentle image.

Since he was very young, he couldn't help but think, what happened between those two people that distorted these beautiful qualities into what they are today?

"It's all his fault. He made her like this, why can he still act so innocent? It seems that he just made a trivial mistake. "

It only takes a small step from the once godly couple to the present appearance-a sick woman, a romantic man, no one can imagine that they have a loving past.

"Okay, stop talking."

Even though Zhuo Shuang tried his best to act calm, Jiang Miao could see that he was in pain, so painful that he didn't know who to ask for help.

All he could do was reach out and hug him.He embraced Zhuo Shuang's body, pulled him into his arms, embraced him with his thin body, and let his head rest on his chest.

"You still have me." He kept repeating this sentence, "I will never abandon you."

He didn't know if this would make Zhuo Shuang feel better, at least when he was in the most painful time, he hoped that someone would be his support.

Zhuo Shuang became his pillar, now it's his turn.

·

That night Jiangchou had a dream.

He didn't remember the cause of the dream, but he only remembered that he was walking on a quiet and winding path when he came to his senses.

Gray stone bricks, white night sky, black clouds, everything looks like an overexposed film negative.He didn't know where he was going, he just walked forward, and countless white faces flashed behind the stone window lattice, men and women, old and young, laughing, crying, distorted and angry... like black The white flowers on the vine are fleeting.On the way, black rain fell from the sky, and the raindrops fell on his bare skin, leaving scorching marks of burning pain. Until a certain moment, someone held up an umbrella for him.He looked up and saw the beautiful jawline and pale lips.This person's fingers were slender and slender, and there was an inconspicuous light-colored scar on the knuckle of the middle finger, which was left at an unknown time.

He feels at ease.

"Are you leaving here?"

A familiar voice came from above.

"Let's go together and leave here."

I don't know when the rain stopped, the black clouds dispersed, the red moon rose, and the earth was covered with a hazy tulle.Finally able to see the true face of this person... He happily looked around, but saw nothing.

He was alone again.

The final picture freezes here without any changes.

He woke up suddenly, sweat almost drenching his back.The last scene of the dream was lingering in his mind, and the back of his hands seemed to be still hurting after being drenched in the rain. He closed his eyes and repeatedly reminded himself that it was just an illusion.

For some reason, he had a feeling that the person walking with him in the dream was Zhuo Shuang but not the current Zhuo Shuang.

Having lost too much water, he was very thirsty, and his throat seemed to be burning, so he got up and looked for water in the living room.

When he went out and saw a figure on the sofa, he almost dropped the cup in his hand.

Was it a thief?Thick dark clouds drifted past, and the pale moon fell on the floor, only then did he see clearly that this person was Jiang Suqing in pajamas.

"Why did you get up?"

Jiang Suqing's tone was exceptionally gentle tonight, and his hairs stood on end.

"Thirsty." He opened the refrigerator door to see if there was anything to drink.

"Ice water is not good for your health. There is cold boiled water in the kitchen, right where the chopping board is on the left."

Jiang Choi followed her instruction to find the kettle, and when he got it, the metal felt cold to the touch, which finally gave him a little more sense of reality.

"Mom, why don't you sleep?"

"Can't sleep." Jiang Suqing's eyes moved with him, making him a little unnatural, "Yaoyao came over during the day."

Xie Yaoyao basically comes here every Sunday, and this week is no exception.

"I know."

When he pushed open the door at night, he accidentally kicked a plastic bag, which was full of food and a pink cherry blossom note.

— eat well,

To grow taller and become a handsome guy.

At the end, a big smiling face is attached as a gift, so you can tell whose handwriting it is at a glance.He tore off the note and put it in the left corner of the drawer - there were many similar notes here, all written to him by Xie Yaoyao.

"She pulled me aside mysteriously and asked me to pay more attention to you." Jiang Suqing's expression was serious, "Is someone bullying you again?"

He stopped pouring water into the cup for a moment, but he didn't expect to be able to deceive Xie Yaoyao with that kind of excuse.

"Why did you say that suddenly?"

"She asked me to pay attention to whether you were being bullied."

Xie Yaoyao didn't know who did it.He immediately breathed a sigh of relief, "It's nothing, she misunderstood."

Jiang Suqing didn't believe it, "Really? When you were in primary school, your grandmother always..."

"Really, it's no big deal. I'm not a child, so I won't be bullied so easily."

He drank more than half a glass of water in one breath to relieve the dry burning in his throat.

After drinking the water, he should go back to his room to sleep, "Mom, you should go back and rest too."

"Middle shift, you can get up a little later."

"Then I'll go first."

After Jiangchou walked two steps, she heard her calling him from behind.

"Wait, I have one more thing."

"what?"

"She said that you were very close to a boy named Zhuo Shuang, and that boy named Zhuo Shuang told her about it...why did you have such a big reaction?"

The glass in Jiangchou's hand slammed onto the cold and hard tiles, the glass shards splashed, like countless scattered stars under the moonlight.

A few splinters landed on the top of his foot, and he didn't feel any pain because his focus was completely taken away by something else.

"Why didn't you tell me there was such a person in your class?" Jiang Suqing stood behind him, "Why?"

The last sentence is even a bit broken.

He originally thought of a lot of words, but seeing her almost hysterical expression clearly, he silently swallowed them back.

"I'm sorry." That's all he could say.

He thought about how to confess many times, but never thought that his lie would be exposed in such an almost absurd way.

"Who is he?"

Facing Jiang Suqing's questioning, he turned his head and said softly, "You have seen him."

"It was the boy that day, right..." Jiang Suqing's lips trembled uncontrollably, "What did you say his name was Wei..."

"Well, that's him. I lied to you on purpose. The real Wei Zhixun is another one."

"You! You are so courageous, you dare to tell such a lie! Do you know how much that person hurt us?!" Jiang Suqing, who hated deceit and lies the most in her life, was so angry that she raised her hand and wanted to hit him.

"I'm sorry, Mom."

"I'm not your mother!"

Jiangchou closed her eyes, waiting for the slap to fall.

In fact, he didn't want to go to school with a slap in his face at all, and he didn't want that person to worry about him anymore, but he deserved it.He is a liar full of lies, and liars need to be taught a lesson.There is still a lot of medicine that Dr. Pei prescribed last time. If it really doesn't work, I'll take sick leave tomorrow morning.

Time passed by, and he waited for a long time, but Jiang Suqing's slap did not fall.

He quietly opened his eyes and found that Jiang Suqing was also looking at him.Her hand was hanging in the air, and it was still trembling slightly if you looked closely.

"Why don't you hide?" He noticed that Jiang Suqing's eyes were red, "Why didn't you hide?!"

He didn't speak.When Jiang Suqing was a child, her temper was even more irritable than now. If he dared to avoid it at this time, what awaited him would be aggravated beatings and scolding.

How could Jiang Suqing not understand this truth.She stumbled back a few steps, covering her face with her thin fingers, "You are punishing me, aren't you?"

right?You hate me and punish me on purpose, don't you?It's all my fault, it's all my fault, it's me who committed the crime. "

She cried for a long time, until Jiangchou was afraid that Xie Shun in the room would be woken up.

He silently went back to the room and took a tissue and handed it over.

As a result, he was grabbed before he could withdraw his hand.Because of work, Jiang Suqing didn't keep long nails, and the smooth and rounded edges sank into the flesh, causing him to frown in pain.

Jiang Suqing stared straight at him, "Explain why you want to be friends with that person."
