After the lake throwing incident, the relationship between the two brothers warmed up again, and then cooled down in various life trivial matters.

Up and down, up and down, up and down, repeated tossing like sitting on a jumping machine, Christmas is coming in such a noisy day.

According to the plan made earlier, Yang Xiao will come to the door on time at 12:24 pm on December [-]th to offer Ji Qingyang his Christmas wishes, and at the same time offer his virgin heart.

Of course, he didn't have the courage to say that he was going to the door. The small garden downstairs is his venue.

beep--

The phone rang for a while and no one answered, Yang Xiao panicked holding the gift.

"Tongtong, will she fall asleep?"

Ji Tong stood on the grass and raised his wrist to check the time: "It's 7:50, and besides your grandma, there must be no other person in the world who goes to bed so early."

Yang Xiao laughed awkwardly: "My grandma lacks sleep."

"I think you lack soul." He rolled his eyes, "How did she call you back during the day?"

In order to ensure everything is safe, Yang Xiao made an appointment with Ji Qingyang to meet in the evening in the name of asking for homework.

"She said it's okay." Yang Xiao scratched his head, "Are you going to take a shower?"

"Do you know what the three classic lies of women are?" Ji Tong learned and sold the jokes he saw while swiping his phone last night, and told him with his fingers, "You're fine, I'm going to take a shower, I don't want to yet fall in love."

Yang Xiao was instantly enveloped by an ominous premonition: "I don't know how to listen to all three sentences today."

"That's not so."

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, Ji Tong continued, "Maybe a few words, you don't have to take a bath every day in winter."

Yang Xiao was embraced by him before he fell down: "Go up and have a look first, it won't be too late to die after knocking on the door."

"I dare not, I dare not."

"You brought all the presents and you just go back in despair?"

"The key is that I didn't bring gifts from my father-in-law and mother-in-law..."

Ji Tong laughed and scolded him: "What kind of virtue!"

The two of them went upstairs nervously one after the other, looking for the house number cheated from Liang Yuchen to find Ji Qingyang's house, planning to fight to the death.But I didn't expect that knocking on the door was like making a phone call, and no one answered at all.

After knocking for the third time, it was still dead silent, but the opposite door opened a crack.A grandma like a Lafayette revealed a pair of scrutinizing and careful eyes through the crack of the door: "Who are you looking for?"

"We are looking for the daughter of this family, named Ji Qingyang."

"Who are you from her?"

"I—" Yang Xiao smiled shyly, "I'm her high school classmate for the time being, but I can't tell in the future."

Before the phonetic symbols of the horoscope, I began to look forward to the future.

"There is no one in their house." The old lady's voice was vicissitudes, hesitant to speak, and then added after a short pause, "From the afternoon onwards, they are all gone."

After finishing speaking, he didn't explain any more, and simply closed the door tightly.

The two came with high ambitions and left suspiciously.What about this family?

Just as he walked to the bus station, Ji Tong received a call from Liang Yuchen: "Where is it?"

"It's near Ji Qing Yang's house." He held up his phone to look at the stop sign, "Do you know which bus I and Yang Xiao take to go back?"

Liang Yuchen said: "You wait for me there, I just closed the shop, I will pick you up by bike."

Ji Tong stopped looking at it immediately: "Then hurry up, I don't have a scarf on." He started urging from the first second.

"Understood." Liang Yuchen asked again, "What kind of fruit do you want to eat?"

"Your broken car doesn't even have a basket and you want to bring fruit? If you want to take it, hang it around your neck. I won't hold it."

Liang Yuchen was so angry that he put back the oranges he was picking.

Putting away the phone, Yang Xiao asked him, "Brother Yuchen is coming?"

In the past, they were called "Your Brother" directly. I don't know when Fatty and Beibei changed it to "Brother Yuchen" at the same time.It seems that Liang Yuchen in the past was just his appendage, but now Liang Yuchen has become an independent and meaningful individual.

Ji Tong nodded: "He insists on coming, maybe he wants to show that he rides fast. Then you go by bus?"

Yang Xiao died before leaving school, carrying the undelivered apples and presents, he replied sadly: "It's so mournful, forget about taking a taxi, I'm not suitable for taking the bus now, and I will spread my frustration to others."

Ji Tong nodded again: "Then you go quickly, my resistance is very weak."

In less than a quarter of an hour, Liang Yuchen arrived on his bicycle. His neck and forehead were covered with sweat, and there was a faint light from the street lamps.

"Come up."

Ji Tong looked at him and curled his lips: "I order you to wear a scarf when you go out in the future."

Liang Yuchen's heart felt a little hot, and a ray of hope rose: "Why?"

"Why don't you wear my apron?" He replied confidently.

Liang Yuchen laughed angrily, and after laughing, he took out a checked scarf from his backpack and threw it to him.

Ji Tong said in surprise: "Ah, I was wrong about you. I thought you didn't wear it when you didn't wear it." Then he wrapped it around his neck happily.

It's not that Liang Yuchen is not afraid of the cold, but he is afraid of sweating. The picky person in front of him will definitely not wear it if he is sweaty.

It's really beyond reproach that elder brother can do what he does, but Ji Tong still wants to pick him.

"The back seat of yours is dead," he muttered as he sat on it. "People say, 'It's better to cry in a BMW than to laugh on a bicycle'. If you are like this, there will definitely be no girls with you in the future. You are destined to be a bachelor for the rest of your life." , get ready, you."

Liang Yuchen's feet were on the ground, and he turned around and pulled his cheek flesh: "Your cheek flesh is so soft, I will cut it off and sew it on the back seat, then the girl will follow me."

It's just creepy.

Ji Tong was so frightened that he yelled on the spacious road accompanied only by street lights: "It's not good, Liang Yuchen doesn't want his younger brother in order to marry a wife! I want to cut off my younger brother's flesh!"

Liang Yuchen covered his mouth: "Okay, don't shout, you don't want to lose face."

Ji Tong slammed his back through his shoulder bag: "It's the most embarrassing for you to forget your brother."

The slightly cold wind brushed his cheeks, his hands, and poured into his neckline and back, but Liang Yuchen didn't feel cold at all.The street lights on the empty asphalt road are bright yellow, and the slender light poles cast shadows on the road one by one, and they accompany each other like holding hands.

Ji Tong didn't feel cold either.The scarf around his neck made him look like a standing candy, his hands naturally went into his brother's pockets to keep warm, his chin rested on top of the backpack, and when he was tired, he turned his face to the back of his brother's neck. The small animals at home are very at ease.

"Why are you here today?" Liang Yuchen asked slowly.

"I told you that Yang Xiao wants to confess his love." He replied casually, looking at Liang Yuchen on the ground, he felt that the outline still looked like a donkey, but it was a juggling donkey who could ride a cart.

"How is it, did you succeed?" He cares casually again.

"Wherever I followed, I didn't see each other."

"not at home?"

"The neighbor said it." Ji Tong laughed teasingly, "Who knows if the whole family is hiding from the fat man."

Liang Yuchen scolded him: "Your friend failed to confess his confession and you are still so happy?"

"I couldn't have succeeded at first." He said indifferently, "You know what Ji Qingyang looks like, and the people chasing her lined up in a long line. Yang Xiao is beyond his control."

Liang Yuchen was silent for a moment, then smiled softly: "Appearance is not the decisive factor in feelings."

Ji Tong asked: "Then what is it?"

"One or two sentences can't be clear." He is clear, "Emotions are very complicated, appearance, preferences, conversation, and even the degree of exploration of the world, these will affect the relationship between two people, and jointly determine whether two people can go on. .”

It sounds rational enough, rational enough to be a little cold-blooded.

"It's too complicated. For me, liking is just liking." Ji Tong retorted, "It's like ice cream. I like the chocolate flavor but not the vanilla flavor. There is no reason."

It sounds emotional enough, so emotional that it looks like an absolute castle in the air.

The two people who seldom talked about their relationship occasionally chatted, and immediately felt the differences and gaps.When they were silently thinking about each other, Yang Xiao made a phone call.

Ji Tong picked it up, at first he thought he took a taxi without money, but the more he listened to the expression, the more surprised he became: "What did you say? Who? Ji Qingyang?"

Then there was silence for a while, and then the line was dropped in a daze.

Liang Yuchen noticed that the hand he took out was not put back into his pocket, and asked him, "What happened?"

He remained silent for a few seconds, then shivered suddenly, and wrapped his hands tightly around his brother's waist as if in fear.

"Brother, Ji Qingyang's family...their family seems to have broken the law."

—

Because Ji Tong couldn't explain clearly, Liang Yuchen called Yang Xiao himself and asked for a long time.

Yang Xiao's uncle is from the district procuratorate, he comes over to eat during the day, and stays at his house to chat with his mother at night.When Yang Xiao got home, he heard the two siblings chatting with each other, sighing that the whole family was about to be defeated, they were all from the same high school, they had the same fate, and their son was like a basketball player Jumping high all day heartlessly.

He was curious for a while, and asked, "What are you guys talking about, mom, a high school student?"

"It's the little girl surnamed Ji." His mother pursed her lips out of the window, and said mysteriously and cryptically, "Your uncle said that a car came out of the yard today and took the whole family away."

Yang Xiao almost heard the sound of his heart jumping into his throat: "Who?!"

His uncle was eating oranges, his mouth mumbled: "I can't remember the name, anyway, my surname is Ji, I remember I'm in the same class as you."

"Ji Qingyang?"

"That's right, that's right." The old uncle vomited, and told the two mother and son about the matter like a boring TV show on Saturday.

When fighting a big tiger, Ji Qingyang's father's second brother was the hair on the tiger's body, and was locked in a cage with the big tiger.The second brother's wife and child, the second brother's mistress, the second brother's elder brother and younger brother, and the elder brother's and younger brother's wives, everyone uprooted them.The self-investigation case of a special nature was to arrest people directly in the courtyard to prevent the wind from leaking out, and the three vans almost failed to load it.

Of course, it can be used as gossip now, and there is no fish that slipped through the net.

While talking, his uncle seemed a little proud of the work efficiency of his colleagues: "The men were sent to the detention center, and the women were all sent to the suburban villas for interrogation. The dv was on 24 hours a day, and there were two shifts for a day and a night. It was impossible not to speak up."

Yang Xiao became excited: "Will there be any wrongdoing!"

"Wronged?" His uncle was used to interrogating people, so he heard something strange, and stared at him for a while before saying, "Of course it is possible. But according to the procedure, you have to inquire again, and there is also a problem with the account under her name."

This time I won't talk about them, just say "her".

It is common for people on the line of corruption to use the personal accounts of nephews and nieces who are studying to make money. After all, they are "clean" and unobtrusive.

Yang Xiao sat down on the sofa with a bang, and didn't say a word the whole night.

In the early morning, he turned off all the lights, hid under the quilt, called Ji Tong, and asked with a trembling voice, "What should I do?"

Under the desk lamp, Ji Tong and Liang Yuchen stayed awake, guarding the hands-free mobile phone, staring at each other in silence, both speechless.

They didn't know what to do, and this matter was beyond the cognition of several young people.

There was also silence on the other end, and after a while, a low-pitched cry came from the phone.

"What will Qingyang do in the future?"

His voice was choked up like a fist in his mouth, a punch thrown by fate unexpectedly.
