Chapter 19

Being moved by something like this doesn't stay in the hearts of the two of them for a long time, and they can do whatever they want afterwards.

On the day of Lidong, the family of four had a serious meal at home, which was regarded as Liang Yuchen's birthday.Although Liang Yuchen didn't say anything, he was obviously very happy.Hu Aihua bought him a birthday cake that was not too big or too small, and most of it ended up in Ji Tong's stomach.

After dinner, Liang Changlei washed the dishes, and Hu Aihua went out to visit the students' homes.Ji Tong took a shower and came out to find that Liang Yuchen was gone, together with his coat and shoes, but his phone was still on the table.

For some reason, he was certain that Liang Yuchen must be on the roof, changed his clothes and climbed up to have a look, and sure enough, he saw a figure beside the chimney.A black jacket, with long legs kicking on the cement platform beside the building, looking as if he was about to commit suicide by jumping off the building, with a can of green beer at his feet.

The November wind was already quite cold, causing Ji Tong to curl up his neck and observe secretly with his hands in his pockets.I saw Liang Yuchen staring at the sky in silence for a while, then picked up the beer and took a sip. Just such a figure melting into the night seemed to have countless untold stories.

He inexplicably came up with an idea, if Liang Yuchen went to make a movie, he might be able to act very well.After thinking about it, I was shocked by myself again, crazy, is there no threshold for appearance in the film industry?

But on second thought, Liang Yuchen was actually not ugly, he was even considered handsome.The facial features are three-dimensional, the eyebrows are expressive, and the figure is also slender.Bao Buqi really has a blind director who takes a fancy to him, maybe let him act in a movie.

What are you going to play?Standing behind him, Ji Tong thought about it and thought it was best to play himself.If there is a movie about Liang Yuchen's inner story, he will definitely pay for the ticket.

While drinking, the soda can was empty, and it was blown down by the wind on the ground, rolling to the edge of the building.When Liang Yuchen got up to pick it up, he found Ji Tong who hadn't had time to hide it, and his expression was a little surprised.

"What's up?"

Ji Tong said stubbornly: "Who found you, it's just a coincidence."

Liang Yuchen smiled, and moved a little to the side: "Come and sit, the stars are beautiful today, better than the lamp Aunt Hu bought."

Ji Tong went over and took out a tissue to cushion it before sitting on it.

Looking up at the sky, it is almost fifteen and the moon is very round, and the ink blue sky is dotted with stars, as if someone casually scattered silver melon seeds out from the moon.Beauty is beauty, but he doesn't know how to appreciate it.

After a while, his neck became sore, and he asked, "You came up just to watch the stars?"

It's not like something a 23-year-old would do.

Liang Yuchen turned his head, his eyes were slightly drunk, and his deep voice was full of complex emotions: "Talk to my mother."

"What are you talking about?"

"Just say it."

He doesn't seem to want to talk about it.Entrained by the smell of alcohol in his breath, Ji Tong was tempted, licked his lips and said, "I want to drink too."

Liang Yuchen frowned: "You can't drink."

"Why can't I drink?" He lowered his head, saw three or four empty cans on the other side, and realized that Liang Yuchen might really have drunk too much.

"You are still a child." Liang Yuchen smiled and pinched his nose to prevent him from breathing, "Children cannot drink."

Usually they are not so intimate, probably what they do after drinking can be explained, so there is no need to be embarrassed.

Ji Tong refused to accept: "I'm twenty years old, not young at all."

Liang Yuchen smiled: "In Aunt Hu's eyes, you will always be a child."

There was a bit of sadness in these words, and it was clearly placed in front of the two of them.Sometimes growing up is forced, and reality pushes you forward, making you have to be an adult.

Ji Tong's mind became hot, and he asked a very stupid question: "Why don't you call her mom?"

Hu Aihua would call him "son", but he never seemed to call "mother".

Is it too late or just don't want to?

Liang Yuchen gave the answer frankly: "I hope she is, but I know she is not."

You can't say this in front of stepmother and father, let alone in front of outsiders, you can only say it in front of Ji Tong.

After finishing speaking, he pointed to the sky again: "My mother has already gone up, and she is alone. I am very happy that you celebrated my birthday today, but after being happy, I feel guilty, so I came up to ask my mother to forgive me."

Ji Tong asked, "Forgive what?"

"Forgive me for almost forgetting about her." Liang Yuchen said, "Yesterday, the anniversary of her death just passed, and today I am talking and laughing with you as if nothing happened, lest she think I have no conscience."

He didn't know whether it was caused by alcohol or in a bad mood. He was breathing slowly, lowered his head, and held a soda can with his hands hanging between his legs, creaking.

Ji Tong fell into regret for a moment, complaining that he hadn't thought carefully enough, and recklessly forced his mother to prepare this birthday party for Liang Yuchen.

Driven by the slight discomfort in his heart, he turned around and hugged the person beside him without saying a word.

He didn't quite know how to comfort her, and he didn't fully understand what the other person needed most right now, but he thought that a hug was always right.

Liang Yuchen's upper body and two arms were wrapped in his arms, and the stiff jacket was wrinkled and deformed—the hug was too hard.

"Liang Yuchen, don't be sad, really."

There was a small chin on the shoulder, and a soft hand on the back, patting awkwardly.

"We burned paper for my aunt that day, and she won't blame you for your filial piety."

Because his body was leaning forward, Ji Tong exposed a part of his waist, and was exposed to the cold naked in the cool wind, but he didn't even notice it.Liang Yuchen threw away the can, and went around behind him with both hands to pull the hem of the sweater, rubbing his fingertips against the slippery skin.

"Cool..." Ji Tong hid for a while.

"Sit well," Liang Yuchen patted his lower back, "It's easy to catch a cold if you get wind."

Ji Tong just sat down, his ears turned red for no reason, as if he had really drunk.The two stood side by side in silence, and there was something inexplicable in the air, maybe alcohol.

After a while, he turned his head to look at Liang Yuchen, and broke the silence: "I forgot to prepare a gift for you."

"what gift?"

"birthday present."

Ji Tong's two hands were hidden in the front pocket of the sweater, tightly intertwined.

Liang Yuchen looked straight into the depths of his pupils, and rubbed the hair on the back of his head with his right hand: "You hugged me just now, it was enough."

He gave exactly what he needed most.

Ji Tong turned his eyes away and didn't speak again.Enough is enough.

This is the first real heart-to-heart talk between them. After walking in a maze for a long time, they finally bumped into each other, and they can find a way out together in the future.

The two found a bag to collect the beer cans all over the floor, chewed their minds and walked downstairs.

When I strolled to the fourth floor, I was suddenly taken aback by the sound of fierce quarrels.

After looking at each other, they both realized: it was the voice of Zheng Beibei's family, someone was arguing.

Across a door, I couldn't hear what was making the noise, I only knew that the decibels were not low, and my voice was hoarse.The two stopped and listened for a while, their expressions gradually serious.

"Let's go." Ji Tong said, "Leave it alone."

He said nothing about other people's nosy affairs, so as not to be ridiculed again.

Liang Yuchen remained silent and waited for a few seconds before continuing to go downstairs.Both of them walked very slowly at the same time, as if they had dropped their ears on the fourth floor.Unexpectedly, as soon as he walked home, there was a sudden bang from upstairs, piercing the eardrums with a sharp and terrifying sound.

Liang Yuchen reacted immediately, and said in a deep voice, "Someone threw something."

Before Ji Tong could speak, he had already turned back and ran to the fourth floor in two or three steps, and knocked hard on the door of Zheng Beibei's house.

Bang Bang Bang!

Bang Bang Bang!

The quarrel inside stopped abruptly.

Ji Tong also ran back with him, but he didn't go forward, he just stood at the door of the neighbor's house and watched from a distance.

"Beibei." Liang Yuchen kept his voice steady, "I'm Ji Tong's brother, are you home?"

There was no response after a while, and he knocked on the door again: "Beibei, open the door, Ji Tong and I have business with you."

Ji Tong pursed his lips tightly behind him, feeling inexplicably nervous.

Another minute passed, and the door finally opened with a crack, and there was a faint whimpering sound from inside.Zheng Beibei wore a sweater and hat on his head, and his red eyes appeared in front of him: "Brother Yuchen, what's the matter?"

Liang Yuchen looked inside vigilantly, but couldn't see anything, so he could only say, "Ji Tong and I happened to pass by and heard a lot of movement in your house, so I came to ask if there is anything I can help."

Zheng Beibei looked past him and saw Ji Tong who was leaning against the wall behind him, and Ji Tong looked away.She bit her lower lip tightly and shook her head: "It's nothing, the glass is broken."

The person concerned refused to say anything, and Liang Yuchen was inconvenient to say more, so he could only tell her: "You don't have my mobile phone number, so if you have anything to do, call Ji Tong directly, and I'll be downstairs with him."

Zheng Beibei stroked his bangs with his hand, only nodded without saying a word, and then closed the door.

He and Ji Tong stood tacitly on the fourth floor for a long time, and they didn't leave until Hu Aihua came back from his home visit and called them. Fortunately, there was no more movement in that house.

Lying in bed at night, both of them could not sleep with their eyes open.Ji Tong asked: "Did you see Beibei's face clearly before, she...is she okay?"

Liang Yuchen crossed his hands behind his head, looked at the star lights on the side and said: "There is no wound, I just cried."

Only then did Ji Tong heave a sigh of relief, and asked after a while: "Then why is she wearing a hat?"

Liang Yuchen replied, "I don't know either."

Even if he asked, Zheng Beibei probably wouldn't tell him.It can be seen that she is very strong.

They didn't speak in the dark, and each other had mixed feelings. This episode of others dilutes the wonderful emotions on the roof.

Later, Ji Tong seemed to be undecided, and asked him: "Do you think I should still be angry with her?"

In fact, he has the answer in his heart, but he just needs someone to give him a step down.

Liang Yuchen was always the one who was willing to build a ladder for him, and said after silence: "She is not as happy as you."

Happy people have the energy to be angry, and unhappy people do their best to live.
