Throwing away a few sweaters is like throwing away decades of love, but what about giving away a pair of shoes?

Liang Yuchen's eyes were as deep as night, and there was a lot of puzzlement in his chest, as well as countless disappointments.I lined up from night to morning in winter, took it home without telling my parents and hid it under the bed, and put it on for my younger brother like a treasure, just for a smile.It's a pity that all the painstaking efforts have no weight in the eyes of the other party, and there is not even a word of confession when they are given to others.

Why spoil his mind so much?

Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Ji Tong felt his heart beating, and put his hands in his pockets and moved closer: "What's the matter?"

Light tone.

Liang Yuchen asked in a low voice: "Did you give away the shoes?"

"What shoes?"

He couldn't think of things that were insignificant to him for a while.Liang Yuchen silently looked at Yang Xiao's feet.

Yang Xiao was uncomfortable being watched by him, he glanced down at his shoes, and asked guiltyly: "Tongtong... this shoe... is there something wrong with this shoe?"

Only then did Ji Tong remember, and slapped himself on the head with a smile: "Ah, I forgot to tell you, the fat man said he likes these shoes, and the size fits well, so I'll let him wear them, don't you have any objections?" ?”

He looked innocent, with clear eyes, as if there was nothing serious about it, just a pair of shoes.

It's just a pair of shoes, you don't have to cherish it when you get it.

Liang Yuchen shuddered all over, and for some reason, thought of Ye Xiulan's sentence inappropriately - "He has lost me in his heart".After thinking about it, I felt that I was overreaching, comparing decades of love with a short and false family relationship.

What is he, Liang Yuchen has never been in Ji Tong's heart.

What about himself?

I didn't know it before, but at this moment his heart is like a house that has been stripped of its walls, leaving only a rusted iron frame. The cold wind howls in the wilderness, and there is nothing inside.He didn't know when he started to look forward to Ji Tong, the starting point was nowhere to be found, and he had unknowingly grown and formed, and now it suddenly dawned on him.

He is the most self-righteous person in the world, thinking about things that are not in his life.

Ji Tong carefully pushed him: "Brother?"

After the utter disappointment, Liang Yuchen was uncharacteristically calm: "If you give it away, it's yours, and it's up to you to dispose of it."

This is his sincere words, not angry with anyone.

Ji Tong put on a smile again when he heard this, and teased him: "Wow, it's rare for you to be generous."

Laugh at him for being stingy with money.

Yang Xiao was serious: "Brother Yuchen, did you buy the shoes? I'm sorry. I didn't know beforehand. Tongtong said he couldn't wear them, so I tried them. If you are not happy, I will return them to him." Said Going to untie the laces.

Compared with Ji Tong's self-willedness and Zheng Beibei's ego, he is the most understanding of the world among the three, but he is always not showing his face, and as time goes by, everyone thinks he is stupid.

"No need," Liang Yuchen stopped him, "You can keep it."

These shoes are no longer a gift from him to Ji Tong, nor will they be returned.

Ji Tong was taken aback by Yang Xiao's seriousness and exaggeration, and also felt ashamed.

"Fatty, why are you taking off your shoes? Where is it? It's really not. My brother also said, if you give it to you, it's yours."

Yang Xiao glanced at him, hesitated to speak.

Liang Yuchen no longer stopped at the same place, but started to walk back against the wind.The frozen moat flashed into a white line under the light of the street lamps, and most of the surrounding residential buildings were lit up, and each grid was like ice cubes in a refrigerator, silent and cold.

Ji Tong noticed that he was not in the right mood, suspected that he was really angry with him, and began to regret it in his heart.Maybe I shouldn't have given away those shoes without saying hello, but since I've given them away, there's no reason to take them back.

In front of my best friend, no matter what, I can't get rid of this face.

After trying to send Yang Xiao away, he leaned against Liang Yuchen and asked embarrassingly, "Brother, are you angry?"

Liang Yuchen ignored him.

He pretended to be obedient and coquettish to please the temptation: "Brother, where is your scarf, and it's in your pocket again? Take it out and wrap it around for me."

As he spoke, he reached for his pocket.

Liang Yuchen's chest trembled, and he suddenly pushed his hand away: "Give it to Beibei."

His whole body was tense, as if he was afraid that he would touch him, and his face was full of unfamiliarity.

When Ji Tong grew up, when was he treated so roughly?In an instant, everyone was dumbfounded for a moment, and it took him three seconds to react, and he yelled at him bitterly: "If you give it to her, what's so great about it? If you don't give it to me, I don't want it!"

The tone exploded like a torpedo, but inside he was extremely aggrieved.He just wanted a scarf, even if it was given to someone, why would he just show him face like this? Could it be that he couldn't even ask about the things she Zheng Beibei wanted to leave?

Liang Yuchen didn't speak any more, glanced at him coldly, and then walked away quickly.

It was a long way home, and the two were far away. The elder brother refused to wait for the younger brother, and the younger brother refused to follow.

Father Liang, who received Hu Aihua's message after returning home, was waiting in the living room. When he saw them, he asked them about the evening's affairs in detail.

After he was relieved, he sat back on the sofa and picked up the teacup: "Yuchen Tongtong, come over and drink some hot water, and then go take a shower quickly. Go to bed early today. I'll just wait for Huahua by myself."

The chill on Liang Yuchen's body was taken off with the down jacket and hung at the door.

"Stop drinking, Dad, I'm going to take a shower first, I have something to do tomorrow."

Ji Tong bit his lip and pushed him away deliberately: "I'll wash first."

He used such a clumsy method to induce Liang Yuchen to quarrel with him, and he always felt that they could still fall asleep after choking each other as before.

But what happened next was beyond his expectation.Liang Yuchen didn't answer a word, put down the key, changed his shoes, and walked back to the room in silence.

Ji Tong was stunned for a moment, then chased after him and asked, "You don't wash anymore?"

"Yeah." Liang Yuchen turned his back to him and began to change into pajamas.

He deliberately made an expression of disgust: "It's so dirty."

"If you think it's dirty, you can go out."

The air suddenly condensed.

This is the most important sentence Liang Yuchen has ever said to him since they met.It wasn't unintentional, and it wasn't just a casual remark, but a blunt and blatant rebuttal, with disgust that anyone could hear.

Ji Tong was stunned, as if he didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

"You can go out if you think it's dirty." Liang Yuchen put on his pajama pants and repeated calmly.

However, after being stabbed so lightly, Ji Tong's eyes turned red, and a thin needle pierced his heart and stirred him a few times, causing him to be suffocating in pain.

He clenched his fists and stood stiffly, staring at the man's broad back and still speaking stiffly: "Why do you let me out?"

It's a pity that when he opened his mouth, his voice trembled.

In the past, when he heard that he was going to cry, Liang Yuchen would have been so distressed, he would ignore whoever wins and loses, as long as Ji Tong doesn't feel sad anymore.

But not today.Liang Yuchen still didn't turn his head, he took the shirt he had taken off and held it in his hand, his upper body was so naked, he didn't seem to feel cold at all.

Of course it's not cold, because no matter how cold it is, it can't compare with a cold heart.

Without a response, Ji Tong continued, with tears rolling back and forth in his eyes like springs, trying not to let them fall, shouting "Who do you think you are", and then shouting "Why let me out?".

He really wanted to hear "I am your brother" blurted out in a hurry, but unfortunately no one answered, not even looking at him.

After standing in a daze for a while, his face was burning red, and his heart was clenched with pain, suddenly he didn't have the courage to argue any further, he turned around and was about to walk out of the room, but he hesitated in his footsteps, waiting for someone to stop him.

Unexpectedly, the next moment Liang Yuchen's footsteps sounded, he opened the door first, and said: "I'm going out."

Then disappeared outside the room.

—

This night was Ji Tong's first night sleeping alone in a small room since he met Liang Yuchen, when both of them were at home.

On New Year's Day, many things happened.

The room was pitch black, and he was curled up in the quilt on the upper bunk alone, no matter how hot the heater was, he still felt cold.In fact, he originally wanted to talk to Liang Yuchen about Ye Xiulan, but since he was young, he was naturally slower to accept it.He also wanted to talk about the shoes and blame himself.

But at this moment, all the sad feelings can only be swallowed by himself.

Where did Liang Yuchen sleep?It should be a sofa.

I didn't take my wallet and my ID was at home, so it was impossible to go out and stay in a hotel, not to mention my parents were also at home.

Then how did he explain to his parents why his mother didn't come to talk to him, and no one came to mediate their conflicts for them, so he pushed his brother to the sofa to spend the night by himself.

Ji Tong turned over and lay facing the wall like Liang Yuchen did before, but his body didn't warm up.

Dazed as if he had caught a cold, he began to recall everything that happened tonight.

He gave the shoes to Yang Xiao, and got into an argument with his brother because of a scarf, so he was confused.

Maybe it's wrong not to say hello in advance about the shoes, but he gave Yang Xiao more than one or two things, and often the other party took whatever they liked, so there was nothing to worry about.It is better to give a pair of ill-fitting shoes to someone who likes them than to collect dust in the closet.Besides, Liang Yuchen also said, let him deal with it. Could it be that this sentence is false.

From the bottom of his heart, he refused to admit that he was wrong, and he didn't think Liang Yuchen deserved to be angry about it.

As for the scarf, he was even more upset.Just because he mentioned a scarf for Beibei, it felt like someone stepped on his tail.

Ji Tong couldn't figure it out.

Since when did Beibei occupy such an important position in his brother's mind, yet he didn't realize it at all.Will they develop?Brother, don't you mind that Beibei looks like a boy, and doesn't mind that Beibei always swears?

Questions clung to him like vines.

Sleepy was scared away by the quarrel, so he stayed until 12 o'clock with his eyes open, his heart was burning with oil, and finally couldn't help but turned over and got out of bed, walked to the door with bare feet, and opened the door carefully.

The curtains in the living room are not closed all the year round, they are always drawn to both sides and tied into a knot.The moonlight soaked in, filling the empty room.Liang Yuchen lay flat on the sofa, with his head resting on the armrest and a pillow behind his neck, which should have been brought by Hu Aihua.His body was too long, and he hung his legs on the armrest at the other end like he used to take a nap in the living room, obviously sleeping very uncomfortable.

But just like that, he still refused to go back to the room.

Standing and watching for a while, Ji Tong's feet were freezing cold, he walked to him step by step and sat down next to the edge of the sofa, staring at his closed eyes and softly asked: "Brother, are you asleep?"

Did not dare to start pushing.

Liang Yuchen's eyelashes trembled slightly, and slowly opened, his dark and deep pupils looked at him indifferently.

Ji Tong suddenly flinched a little, and wanted him to put on glasses, maybe that would be kinder.

"Why are you sleeping here?"

Knowing why, silly opening remarks.

Liang Yuchen was covered with a not-so-thick quilt, which weighed heavily on his limbs and body, covering up all body movements, and there was no other reaction.

"Go back to the house and sleep." Ji Tong mumbled, "It's not warm here."

Liang Yuchen remained motionless, staring at him silently.

He had to say a little more.

"Brother, don't be angry with me." He muttered, "If you care about money, I will pay you for the shoes. As for the scarf, if you insist on giving it to her, I, I have no objection. I will remember to bring it myself in the future, isn't it okay? "

The truth is mixed with words against my will, I just want to let this dispute pass quickly.

After speaking, he looked at Liang Yuchen earnestly, pursed his lower lip, and waited for a hand to rub his hand or touch his chin.

It's a pity that after a few seconds, Liang Yuchen's black eyes turned away all the light——

Liang Yuchen was still disappointed, as disappointed as a drowning person struggling to touch the life jacket, only to find that it had leaked.

The eyes closed again.

He turned his back to Ji Tong, not only refusing to speak, but even refusing to listen.
