Pavilion in the garden

It was night, Ji Yi watched Ji Tingxie come out of the study to drink water, and hurriedly stopped him.

Regardless of whether Ji Tingxie was busy or not, she grabbed him affectionately and sat down on the sofa, then started watching TV.

Even though it was a documentary, it wasn't much entertainment, but since he sat down, Ji Tingxie started to watch it seriously.

But Ji Yi doesn't care at all, he just pays attention to the people around him.

Holding his hand, rubbing his fair and slender fingers from time to time, the touch is delicate, Ji Yi can't wait to go up to kiss him.

But he is used to restraint in front of Ji Tingxie, so he doesn't want his secret and unspeakable thoughts to be noticed.

No way, he was sticky and almost stuck to him, and it didn't help.

There was a steady stream of restlessness in his heart, Ji Yi forced himself to calm down, and tried his best to suppress this strange feeling.

Unknowingly, in the middle of the night, sleepiness swept over.

Ji Tingxie had difficulty concentrating and couldn't help but yawned lightly, said "I'm going to sleep" in a low voice, got up and went back to the room.

"elder brother..."

Ji Yi chased after him in two or three steps, trying to squeeze into bed with him shamelessly.

Forget it anyway.So as not to fall asleep and suffer.

Ji Yi was so depressed that he turned off the TV and the lights in the hall.

He lay down on the bed in his own room, but couldn't sleep.

He ordered himself not to think about anything, wrapped himself in the quilt and tossed and rolled countless times, and finally fell asleep.

"You didn't sleep last night?"

Ji Tingxie was heating the milk, when he looked up and saw Ji Yi's sleepy eyes with dark circles, he couldn't help asking.

"No."

Ji Yi looked embarrassed, he couldn't say that he was tossing and turning all the time because of that kind of unrealistic thoughts, and couldn't sleep well.

Quickly changed the subject, and said briskly: "Brother, are you going to travel during the Spring Festival?"

Ji Tingxie noticed that the milk in the pot started to boil, so he quickly turned off the fire, and poured the hot milk into the two prepared cups.The movements are neat and the milk does not leak.

"Okay. Where do you want to go?"

Ji Tingxie agreed casually.He took the toast from the microwave, put a can of butter and cherry sauce on the tray, and walked towards the dining room.

Seeing this, Ji Yi took two cups of hot milk and followed.

Not caring about eating, Ji Yi couldn't help but asked as soon as he sat down, "Brother, where do you want to go?"

Ji Tingxie had nothing to do and motioned him to have breakfast first.

Ji Yi gave an obedient "hmm" and saw him spreading cherry jam.

So I unscrewed the lid, spread a thick layer of butter on the toast, sandwiched it, and applied another thick layer, a total of four times before it was good.Only then did it arrive on Fang Ji Tingxie's dinner plate.

"Brother, you eat."

"I can't eat it."

Ji Tingxie pointed to the toast with cherry jam in his hand, and moved the dinner plate in front of him.

Ji Yi knew that he had a small appetite, so he didn't force it.I couldn't help but talk about travel with great interest.

"Brother, where do you want to go this time?"

"Are you going to see an art exhibition? I checked, there will be one in Paris in mid-February, and there will be an open-air concert in a few days. You will definitely like it."

Ji Yi was very happy, his tone rose slightly, and his voice was full of joy.

It's not that he is interested in this kind of artistic and humanistic activities.Just because Ji Tingxie likes it, inexplicably there is a kind of partiality of loving Wu and Wu.

Ji Tingxie was noncommittal and concentrated on eating his own food, only occasionally looking up at him.

But Ji Yi is already used to this seemingly strange way of getting along.He knew that his brother was listening, so he just had to say it together and let him decide.

"It's a bit cold in Paris, though."

Thinking of this suddenly, Ji Yi frowned involuntarily, and blurted out the doubts in his heart.

"Not so good. Brother, you are afraid of the cold. What if you catch cold?"

"Ah, let's go to a tropical island. The temperature is high and the scenery is beautiful."

After finishing speaking, he stopped talking and looked at Ji Tingxie questioningly.

"It's all right."

Ji Tingxie looked up at him and answered without hesitation.

"Did I make my own claim?"

Ji Yi later realized that he was talking too much, a bit of shame appeared on his face, and he said in a low voice.

Ji Tingxie took a sip of milk, and chuckled lightly when he heard the words, his handsome eyebrows and eyes overflowed with a smile, like a spring breeze blowing on his face.

"It's okay to go to both."

"Okay."

Ji Yi seemed to have finally got some kind of approval, and he suddenly became enlightened, with a bright smile.

Hastily ate breakfast again.After you are ready to eat, go to plan the schedule and go through the formalities by the way.

Ji Tingxie did not participate in his busy preparations, and went to the study to read by himself.

Back in the study, as soon as I took out the book, I turned to the page I saw yesterday, when the cell phone beside me rang.

A phone call from America.

Ji Tingxie's fingers paused, and the next second he pressed answer.

"dad."

"Tingxie, are you busy?"

Even across the entire ocean, the voice rang in my ears, clear and unreal.

"No."

The tone was still as usual flat, sounding somewhat alienated.

"You and Xiaoyi are both on vacation? Come here to celebrate the New Year."

Ji Shouning didn't seem to notice his indifference, but fell into some kind of good memory, and his voice was a little soft.

Ji Tingxie paused there for a moment, and quickly replied: "I will tell Ji Yi."

"how about you?"

Ji Shouning is used to being shrewd in the business field, so he can't hear the meaning behind his words.

"I still have things to do. I won't go back."

This time Ji Tingxie didn't hesitate, and spoke directly.

Hearing this, Ji Shouning couldn't help but let out a soft sigh, suddenly feeling sad.

There was a time when my eldest son was willing, but refused all the time, and just refused to come.

"Tingxie, this is not the way to go."

His tone was a little low, and his words were tired, and he continued: "There must be someone to take care of the company's affairs. You don't even want to come and take a look, you are going to ruin the family."

Ji Tingxie fixed his eyes and looked at a point in the void.

"It's still early. Ji Yi will do it."

Without waiting for Ji Shouning to say more, he said "goodbye" and hung up the phone.

He deleted the call history casually, put the phone aside, and started to read a book again.

But the speed slowed down, and it took more time to read line by line than usual.

His eyes began to focus on a certain word, and as he looked at it, his mind drifted away.

He finally closed the book.

The previous leisure and elegance have long been gone, and now he wants to do something else, which is different from his usual hobbies and pastimes.

At this time, footsteps gradually approached.It's Ji Yi.

He rushed into the study excitedly, not caring whether he disturbed Ji Tingxie or not.

"elder brother."

Ji Yi yelled several times in a row, his voice could not hide his excitement.

"Look, next Tuesday's art exhibition and Sunday's concert. After that, you can fly directly from Paris to the Maldives."

Ji Yi pointed to the content displayed on the screen, and held the phone in front of him.

"When is the Spring Festival?"

Ji Tingxie asked an irrelevant question.

Ji Yi was a little strange, but he still replied: "The 16th, it happens to be next Tuesday."

"Oh."

Ji Tingxie responded, and calmly said, "You may not be able to go."

Then said: "Father asked you to go back for the Spring Festival."

"what?"

Ji Yi was stunned, the burning fire in his heart was extinguished at once, and he was defenseless.

Then he came back to his senses and hastily stated his position, his voice was clearly eager.

"I'm not going back."

"Why don't you go, anyway, you have time."

Ji Tingxie lowered his head and reached out to reopen the book he had just closed.

"If you don't go back, I won't go back either."

Ji Yi didn't explain much, and simply stated his thoughts.But his eyes were fixed on Ji Tingxie who was reading a book, and he saw that his brows and eyes, which were obviously calm, showed a bit of coldness.

Ji Yi couldn't help feeling a bit terrified, he clearly felt that Ji Tingxie was unhappy.

Soften your voice, wrap your hands around his shoulders, put your face close to him, and speak softly.

"Brother, it's not that I don't want to go back. But how can I leave you alone for the New Year?"

Looking at the face so close, he was fascinated for a while, his whole body softened, and he couldn't help getting closer.

"is it?"

Ji Tingxie asked indifferently, her slender and curly eyelashes fluttered with the blinking of her eyes, and she was like a butterfly fluttering her wings for a moment, which was extremely moving.

He spoke again, but it sounded a bit bewitching: "Go. Come back to accompany me after the Chinese New Year."

The word "accompany me" was obviously very light, but when it was heard by Ji Yi, it was unbelievably heavy, as if it carried some kind of strength.

Ji Yi unconsciously approached him again, and his lips stuck to his skin like this.

He slowly paused on the delicate skin for a few seconds, lingering endlessly.The heartbeat speeded up instantly, approaching the peak.

Ji Yi wanted to speak again, but a thousand words stuck in his throat.

Before Ji Yi could speak, Ji Tingxie gently opened his lips: "I've stayed long enough. Let's go home."

Soon it was Sunday, and Ji Yi wanted to stay one more night anyway, so Ji Tingxie simply showed him the booked flight.

"Pick up your things quickly. Don't miss anything."

Ji Tingxie urged, and turned back to the room after speaking.

Looking at Ji Tingxie's disappearing back, Ji Yi felt sour in his heart.

That day he inexplicably stopped and stopped refuting, so he should have thought of this.

Why?

Obviously he doesn't want to leave Ji Tingxie for half a step, but he still wants to leave him on the occasion of the New Year.

Ji Yi never spent a single year with him.

He wanted to give him the warmth of his family and the care of his relatives, but he forgot that he also got the same weight from him.

But Ji Yi was indeed homesick.

Ji Tingxie's brand has been imprinted on my life since I was a child, and every moment seems to stick to me.

He never tires of it, on the contrary, he indulges in it bit by bit.

From the ignorant love at the beginning to the thorough dependence on knowing the root and the bottom, step by step, I have reached the point where I can't extricate myself now.

But, as undeniable as this feeling, he also missed his parents, his home.

The two are obviously the same parents, the same family, but the emotions poured into them are different.

It's not that Ji Yi doesn't love her, it's just that he doesn't spend much time with her, so he can't help being nostalgic.

Ji Tingxie, however, has no desires or desires, as if she was born with a cold feeling, it doesn't matter whether she has it or not.

The voices and smiles of my parents are no longer so clear in my memory, but the gentle feeling of being hugged and petted will always remain in my heart.

He can't forget, even though thousands of miles away, even if time has passed.

Presumably that's why.

Obviously he loves Ji Tingxie the most, but he still doesn't stick to it and refuses to leave him even half a step.
