silent you

"came back."

A familiar yet unfamiliar voice whispered not far away.

Gu Xia's movement of bending over to change shoes froze imperceptibly, then straightened up as if nothing had happened, and looked at the sofa with a calm expression.

really.

Lin Yan sat lazily on the floor covered with thick and warm woolen carpet, leaning against the sofa, casually pressing the remote control in his hand.

In the eyes that glanced over inadvertently, there was a smile and a hint of playfulness.

Gu Xia stood there quietly for a while, then turned around and planned to go back to the room.

"Stop." Lin Yanman said casually.

Gu Xia stopped still, looked straight ahead, her eyes were calm, but when she looked carefully, there was an unusual depth.

Lin Yan put down the remote control with his hands down, and stood up easily with his arms propped up. There was a leisurely smile on the corner of his lips, but there was some shadow in his lazy eyes, and he walked over at a leisurely pace.

Lin Yan's figure is similar to that of his father in the north. He is tall and broad, with long hands and feet and muscular muscles. He is not like Jiang Pei who looks thin when he is dressed, and tall and slender when he takes off his clothes. He is also not like Gu Xia who is obviously thin and delicate. , he is thin at first glance, but if you take a second look, you can feel his strong and mighty hidden under his clothes that cannot be ignored.

It can be said that Jiang Pei's aura comes more from his cold eyes and disdainful character, while Lin Yan's aura comes more from his naturally tall figure and strong physique.

Gu Xia calmly glanced at the black shadow steadily cast on the floor, gradually approaching, stretched and magnified by the light from the TV screen, and slightly frowned between her delicate brows.

Then he turned around calmly, took a step away to the left calmly, raised a gesture, and asked him indifferently—what's the matter?

Lin Yan stopped with great interest, and tilted his head to look at this half-brother whom he hadn't seen for a long time. The corner of his lips twitched evilly, and he didn't know whether it was mocking or admiring: "You've grown up, Xiao Guxia .”

Therefore, Xia's brows did not move, and she responded indifferently.

Lin Yan didn't seem to care about it, but his eyes became more sinister and revealing, and he said frivolously and provocatively: "It's just polite, but I haven't improved much, and I don't say hello to my brother."

Gu Xia raised her eyes silently, and the corners of her lips curled up in an extremely perfunctory manner.

Lin Yan burst out laughing, staring at him gloomyly.

Gu Xia smiled nonchalantly again.

Lin Yan lowered his face, strode forward, sneered and pressed him against the wide and hard door.

The metal keychain hanging on Gu Xia's finger suddenly collided with the cold key, making two jingle sounds, clear and crisp.

He casually tugged at the crooked schoolbag strap, slowly raised his eyelids, and stared at Lin Yan quietly from bottom to top.

The cloud on Lin Yan's face dissipated again at some point, and he said to him with a smile: "My father and your mother are not at home tonight, if you say that I want to do something to you, you... escape drop?"

Gu Xia's expression remained the same, but his eyes were asking softly—really?

Lin Yan tightened his fingers on his shoulders, bent over and slowly approached Gu Xia's neck, looked at the white and delicate skin that was inadvertently exposed under the collar of his school uniform, and slowly blew out a breath of hot air.

Gu Xia did not hide the disgust in his heart at all, he turned his head almost the moment he opened his mouth, his slender and beautiful fingers were tightly pinched together, his soft and thin body stood upright, motionless.

Lin Yan looked at the side face of him close at hand, smiled happily, and was about to say something, but caught a glimpse of dense small bumps quickly appearing on Gu Xia's smooth and jade-like skin.

He furrowed his brows fiercely, his five fingers suddenly increased his strength, and the exposed half of his face was full of hostility and tyranny.

Gu Xia Ban's shoulder hurt, but he let out a breath, with a relaxed and mocking smile on his lips.

—Finally revealed his true nature.

Even if Lin Yan reacted now, so what.

He tilted his head slightly, his slender eyes raised slightly.

Faintly provocative.

Lin Yan's eyes changed again and again, cloudy or sunny.

After a while, he burst out laughing with a deep voice.

Gu Xia's eyes immediately became vigilant and defensive.

Lin Yan laughed until his shoulders trembled uncontrollably, his fingers were still firmly pressing on Gu Xia's body, but he took a step back, and the laughter in his mouth became louder and more presumptuous.

His younger brother, is as funny as ever.

He has to admit that when he saw that Gu Xia was using his unique and usual way to continuously and intentionally irritate and challenge him, what suddenly arose in his heart was not the same outrageous and punching impulse as before, but A certain intense and secret excitement and pleasure.

Such a familiar and tenacious story.

It will only make people want to possess, control and conquer even more.

...and destruction.

Lin Yan licked the corners of his lips dangerously, and slowly moved up his cold fingers that seemed to have no temperature, and put them on Gu Xia's slender neck, tightening it up little by little, intentionally or unintentionally.

"Xiao Guxia, you are really getting more and more pleasant..."

If Gu Xia was a cat, then the soft fur all over his body would be blown up bit by bit.

And always ready to scratch someone.

Lin Yan smiled and lowered his eyes.

Gu Xia raised her head and stared at him closely, her eyes were fearless.

The atmosphere is tense and explosive.

When Lin Yan moved his finger, Gu Xia's pupils suddenly shrank.

But he withdrew his hand at this moment, his movements were casual and lazy.

It was the same lazy look when we first met just now.

Therefore, the strings in Xia Xia's heart were tense, and he did not relax at all.

Lin Yan let go of his fingers, took a step back with a relaxed expression, and smiled lightly: "Don't be so defensive, why am I willing to do something to you, it's just a joke."

Gu Xia stared at him coldly, without moving.

Lin Yan twitched the corners of his mouth, turned around and walked towards the sofa, waved his hand and said, "I'm going out later, I won't be back at night, believe it or not."

The dark eyes are full of aggression.

And a tinge of... irrepressible desire.

He lowered his eyes and smiled faintly.

Xiaoguxia, we are not in a hurry.

Waiting for you...to graduate.

It wasn't until there was a clear click of the door lock downstairs that Gu Xia's tense back and spirit slowly relaxed.

He fell silently on the big bed behind him, his eyes darkened.

Lin Yan was four years older than him and was the son of his stepfather, Uncle Lin.

When Gu Xia was 14 years old, he went abroad to study.

This is the first time he has returned to China in four years, and he will not go out again.

If it is said that Lin Yanzhen has any thoughts about him, Gu Xia will not believe it. He can tell that Lin Yan is a straight man.

Although he had never stopped the romantic anecdotes and ambiguous rumors during his four years abroad, all the people he dated and slept with were girls.

He was just worried that this showed that the cheap brother who was not kind to the visitor would use excessive means.It's still a little annoying.

Gu Xia's stepfather is very kind to Gu Xia's mother and Gu Xia.

He really did it as if it were his own.

Even more than that.

Therefore, when Gu Xia was a child, Lin Yan, who was full of jealousy and rebellious personality, often made trouble for her.

All kinds of teasing methods can be described as full of tricks.

But not really hurt.

So Xia often endured as much as she could.

If you really can't bear it, you won't complain directly.

Instead, let Uncle Lin discover it by himself.

After that, Lin Yan will be beaten badly.

Broken skin is also common.

Therefore, Xia Xin is like still water, watching with cold eyes, without the slightest joy and sense of victory in revenge.

As far as he is concerned, it is just a self-protection method that he has to take.

If Lin Yan knew how to restrain himself, he wouldn't be like this.

Gu Xia closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, his eyes were a little confused.

And anxiety and fear that he didn't even realize.

Today's Lin Yan is very different from the Lin Yan in his impression.

At that time, he still had the youthful and childish look on his face, and he was rebellious and rebellious. His eyes hardly fell on him, and the occasional glances were also disdain and disgust.

Today's Lin Yan gives Gu Xia a moody and unpredictable sense of danger.

It is not a good thing for him that the enemy knows how to pretend and forbear better.

Gu Xia turned over sullenly, feeling a little missing Jiang Pei.

Jiang Pei doesn't like to talk to people, and his personality is cold and arrogant, but he never makes him feel tired, let alone he doesn't need to be wary of calculations everywhere.

But he can't see him.

Tomorrow is the New Year's Day holiday.

He will not see Jiang Pei for three whole days.

I have to stay with the dangerous Lin Yan—my mother and Uncle Lin planned to go to a neighboring city for three days on New Year’s Day, not only to celebrate Lin Yan’s return to China, but also to fill in the gap caused by the distance in the past four years. Xia does relaxation before the college entrance examination.

He didn't want to go, but he couldn't refuse.

Gu Xia bent her arms, covered her eyes with her fingers, lay on the bed with her face sideways, and looked at the sporadic lights that leaked through the thin fingers.

Jiang Pei, he read silently.

The most willing to forget the ancient poems, the most dismissive is lovesickness.

He said softly in his heart.

... I miss you.

Just when Gu Xia was immersed in missing Jiang Pei, there was a sudden sound of opening the door downstairs, as well as subtle voices and conversations.

Gu Xia turned up from the bed in shock, her fingers subconsciously clenched the sheet, and her eyes widened vigilantly.

He wasn't worried about thieves or thieves, the community they lived in had a high level of security, but he was worried that Lin Yan would come back. To some extent, this made Gu Xia feel worse than thieves and thieves.

Fortunately, in the next second, he heard a familiar and slightly cold female voice, so Xia's heart warmed up, and he ran out lightly, holding on to the railing with one hand, standing on the stairs and looking down.

Gu Xia's mother and Lin's father both had things in their hands, so Gu's mother threw things at Lin's father while changing shoes and walking inside, still complaining and blaming.

Lin's father didn't get angry at all, and stretched out his hand to take it with a smile. His hand was full of bags, and his broad palm was stretched out with thin white marks. He looked like he was hardworking.

mom.

Gu Xia shouted silently in his heart.

So my mother raised her head almost instantly, and looked at the second floor with clear and serious eyes. The complaints and anger on her face melted like ice and snow, replaced by a happy and doting smile that immediately bloomed: "Baby."

Gu Xia's heart was hot, he moved his feet, ran down the stairs quickly, stopped in front of his mother, turned sideways, and reached out to pick up the things in Father Lin's hand.

Father Lin put down the plastic bag before him, stretched out his hand and patted Gu Xia on the shoulder, and said with a hearty smile, "Xia Xia is back. How are you doing at school? Did you work hard?"

Gu Xia shook her head, bent down and wanted to pick it up, so her mother stretched out her hand to stop him, hugged him into her arms, raised her hand to rub his cheeks and hair casually, and said with a smile: "Don't worry about him, mom hugs him." , do you miss your mother?"

Gu Xia, with a head of soft shaggy hair, raised her head, her face flushed red, she shook her head first, paused, then nodded in embarrassment, buried her face in her mother's shoulder again, hugged her waist and did not let go.

Gu's mother patted him on the back, and said with a warm smile: "He is taller than his mother, and he loves acting like a baby."

Seeing this, Papa Lin felt relieved, picked up his things again, walked into the living room, and organized them into different categories.

At the same time, he warned loudly from a distance: "That kid Lin Yan is back, I don't know if you have seen him, if he still behaves like before and bullies you, you must tell Uncle, Uncle will beat him for you , don't hide it."

Gu Xia shook her head, but after shaking her head, she realized that Uncle Lin couldn't see her, so she gave her mother a flattering look, hoping that she would speak up for him.

Gu's mother turned a blind eye to her, but she had the same beautiful eyes as Gu Xia's, deep and stern, staring firmly at Gu Xia's face, lowered her voice, and said solemnly: "Did you meet Lin Yan just now, did he—"

Gu Xia couldn't help laughing, her smile was extremely gentle, she stepped back a little, and gestured a few times in a calm manner—it happened, but he didn't bully me, Mom, you are thinking too much.

Gu's mother still stared at Gu Xia closely, and said in a calm voice: "Baby, don't lie to your mother."

Gu Xia smiled helplessly and softly, pulled her mother's fingers that had become plump and fair in recent years, and squeezed them left and right twice.

——I’m not lying, I’m just a little nervous. We have an exam and a parent-teacher meeting when we go back on New Year’s Day. I got second in the last exam. This time I want to show my mother the first.

Gu Xia occasionally has mild pre-exam anxiety, and there is no problem finding the reason.

So my mother put her mind at ease: "Really?"

Gu Xia smiled beggingly—really, really.

I turned my blushing face away a little bit, and gestured awkwardly - and I missed my mother so much, I haven't been home for a month.

Gu's mother finally laughed, patted his hand lightly, and comforted him while leading him inside.

"If you miss me, ask for leave and come back, or ask your mother to visit you. Isn't it just a phone call?"

"It doesn't matter if you don't get the first place in the exam. Our good baby is the best. Mom never puts pressure on you, and you don't have to pressure yourself."

"When will the parents' meeting be? Mom will definitely be there on time."

Father Lin's tall and strong body was leaning against the kitchen door, with a smile on his slightly fierce face, looking at Gu's mother who was shrewd and cold towards outsiders, but always gentle and patient towards Gu Xia.

There is a moving light shining in the eyes that have experienced the world.

She was the same as when he first met her.

He looked at her the same way as when he first saw her.

Wind, frost, rain and snow have not changed over the years.

Gu Xia lowered his eyelids, and the corners of his pale lips curved into a smile.

This is him tonight.

The first sincere smile that was revealed.
