There is a hotel street in the city center, and the traffic jam starts at one o'clock in the morning until the early morning when the rooster crows.

It was nearly 11 o'clock at night when the taxi that Ji Tong and Yang Xiao took stopped.The entrance of the bar is full of small ball lights embedded in glass, and the thin streamer light changes shape with the music, which is quite unfamiliar to the two young men who have just entered college.

According to the usual schedule, they both should wash up and sleep, but they are still excited now.

Yang Xiao was not sleepy because he saw Ji Qingyang from a long distance away, huddled in the middle of a group of people with a small bag on his shoulders, his two thin legs in black pantyhose poking the ground like the ends of a compasses.

"Qing Yang!" He waved his hand there, smiling so hard that his teeth could not see his eyes.

Ji Tong is not sleepy because of his brother.People who have always been traditional and old-fashioned appear in this kind of place without warning, and he can't think of any reason.

The two walked over, and Yang Xiao asked again: "Have you been waiting for a long time? Why don't you stay inside."

Ji Qingyang smiled and shook her head: "I just arrived, and I came out when someone was smoking in the lobby."

She still felt a little awkward seeing Ji Tong. It took her a long time to know what happened to the love letter oolong last year.

There are even people smoking in the lobby, the environment inside may be smoky, isn't Liang Yuchen a tobacco insulator?Why can you stay in such a place again?

Ji Tong said anxiously: "Let's go in quickly, is my brother already inside?"

"Let me ask." Yang Xiao took out his mobile phone and dialed Zheng Beibei, and after asking for the location, he said casually, "By the way, Tongtong is here too, can you sit down?"

Ji Tong watched him hang up in surprise: "You didn't tell her beforehand that I was coming?"

He thought it was Zheng Beibei's game, so he specially asked everyone to come and see the world.Of the three, she was the only one who jumped past Di.

"I said it," Yang Xiao said, "but Brother Yuchen was by the phone at the time, saying that you had a cold, so I don't want you to come here."

Ji Tong was startled: "He knows that my illness is not serious at all."

Yang Xiao was puzzled: "What do you mean?"

"It's nothing." The restless voice made him panic. He felt sad and puzzled, and his head became a little dizzy. "Go in."

Ji Qingyang took a mirror from her bag and looked at herself, then turned her head and asked Yang Xiao, "Shall I do my makeup today? It's okay to see your friend."

Yang Xiao's eyes shook with his heart: "It's all right, it's too good to be true."

The relationship between the two is at a good time, which makes Ji Tong even more alone.

When I entered the bar, I suddenly lost my mind.The music was harsh, the lights were strong and dim, but the person he was looking for was nowhere to be seen.

He stopped a waiter and asked, "Where is table number nine?"

The waiter was holding the wine for fear of spilling it: "You mean a booth?"

"Probably." He didn't understand.

Fortunately, Yang Xiao arrived in time: "That's right, it's booth number nine."

The waiter pointed to the corner next to him: "The table near the bar."

Dozens of men and women are writhing wantonly on the dance floor, with no boundaries at all.Looking through them with difficulty, Ji Tong first saw Zheng Beibei who was standing on the table going crazy, and then saw his brother who hadn't had a good look at him for a few days, sitting alone on the sofa, just like him.

He has seen Liang Yuchen without glasses many times, each time feeling different, but there is one thing in common - unfamiliar.Familiar faces, unfamiliar expressions, attitudes that reject people thousands of miles away, and plain and ordinary dress are incompatible with this noisy world.

Just now he was anxious as if there was a fire in his chest, but now that the person was close in front of him, he suddenly hesitated to move forward.

Seeing him, Liang Yuchen's expression changed for a moment, and then he returned to indifference, with his hands hanging loosely between his legs, and his back leaning on the booth, his single eyelid made his eyes narrow and thin, showing an indifferent expression.

Zheng Beibei jumped down from the table with a smile, Liang Yuchen naturally reached out to help her, there were nearly ten bottles of beer with a long neck in front of her feet.

"Brother..." Ji Tong stood in front of him, fingers clenched in his palms.

Liang Yuchen raised his eyes, his eyes stayed on his face for a moment and then lowered, his slender fingers slowly turned the phone on his knees, as if paying attention to enjoying the music.

"Sit next to me?" Zheng Beibei yelled loudly, afraid that he might not hear.

Ji Tong could only sit separately from Liang Yuchen, with her in the middle.

"I heard Brother Yuchen said that you were sick, why did you come out anyway, can't you stay at home?" Zheng Beibei joked with him.

"Come and see."

Zheng Beibei nodded with a half-smile.

Ji Tong thought for a while and asked, "Did you drink with my brother?"

Zheng Beibei didn't hear clearly: "What did you say?"

He had no choice but to yell loudly into her ear: "Have you two been drinking?"

Liang Yuchen's expression changed slightly, but he didn't look this way.

"No—" she denied it with a drawn out voice, "I didn't drink it, only Brother Yuchen drank it alone."

There are downsides to opening a card seat, and you must take a few bottles of wine.Zheng Beibei also has a mother at home, and it's hard to tell her if she drinks too much.Liang Yuchen plans to go back to school today, so it doesn't matter how much he drinks.

Ji Tong silently counted one by one, there were three empty bottles under the table, and there were seven bottles left.

The light is on and off, and the blue-purple ambient light makes people's faces look strangely pale.Liang Yuchen closed his eyes half-closed and leaned his head slightly on the sofa, not knowing whether he was sleepy or drunk.

"Dancing?" Zheng Beibei asked again.

"Do not jump."

"Why do you come here if you don't dance, enjoy your eyes?"

Ji Tong pursed his lips and peeked at Liang Yuchen: "Could it be that my brother jumped?"

"That's not true." Zheng Beibei beat Liang Yuchen with his elbow, just like he did before, "He doesn't want to jump, it's too crowded."

Liang Yuchen was still turning the phone slowly, without any unnecessary reaction.Ji Tong turned his eyes away.

Don't look at Ji Qing and Yang Si's gentleness, after all, he is a kid from a rich family. He has eaten and seen it before, and after coming here to get acquainted with everyone, he is eager to try it.

"Yang Xiao, dance with me."

Yang Xiao naturally obeyed, so he pulled Bei Bei and Ji Tong together to strengthen his courage.Zheng Beibei stood up and asked with a smile, "Brother Yuchen, are you really not going?"

Liang Yuchen opened his eyes and shook his head: "Go ahead and play, don't worry about me."

Zheng Beibei and the others could only go to the pool by themselves, Ji Tong didn't want to leave his brother, but he couldn't find a reason to stay.

The sound waves boomed, and his body shook. He felt uncomfortable, and sweat broke out on his face after a while.After a while, he would take a look at the booth to see if anyone was looking for Liang Yuchen, and he didn't even move his waist a few times after a song.

"You care about your brother that much?" Zheng Beibei yelled into his ear.

Ji Tong's body shook suddenly, he even forgot to dance, and stared at her blankly.

With a pull of his hand, Zheng Beibei led him to jump up again, as if his feet were on springs, "Apologize for caring about your brother, how old are you still playing cold war!"

Roaring made his eardrums hurt.

Ji Tong pursed his lips, and was about to say that he had apologized, when his butt was suddenly rubbed hard by a hand.

He screamed and covered his buttocks, his whole body was stiff and motionless.

"What's wrong?" Beibei asked.

Ji Tong blushed like a persimmon, hesitating in her ear: "It seems like someone touched me."

Is this worth it?Beibei exploded and shouted in the pool immediately.But firstly, the dance floor was too dark, and secondly, there were too many people and crowded, so the party could not find the culprit, so they withdrew from the dance floor.

"You, you, how can you be so slow when something happens to someone who usually yells? Why didn't you catch him on the spot?"

Zheng Beibei complained as he walked.

Liang Yuchen sat on the deck, didn't know what happened just now, saw them arguing, and looked up at them.

Ji Tong lowered his eyes: "Forget it, I'm a man, and I won't lose a piece of meat if I touch it. Don't shout so that everyone can hear it."

When a man is touched by a man, he finds it hard to tell.

"Brother Yuchen, you don't know how cowardly your little brother is," Zheng Beibei sat down next to Liang Yuchen, "Someone touched his ass on the dance floor—"

"Beibei!" Ji Tong cried out anxiously, preventing her from continuing.

Liang Yuchen's expression froze, and he turned to look at Ji Tong: "Is what she said true?"

Just for a moment, his face darkened, and his aura was terrifying.

Ji Tong blushed with embarrassment, bit his lip and nodded.I don't know why, anyone can know, but he doesn't want his brother to know about it.

Liang Yuchen was silent for a moment, took his wallet and cell phone and stood up, but he didn't put on his coat.

Ji Tong felt something was wrong, so he also stood up: "Brother, why are you going?"

"Ask the manager here to adjust the monitoring." He raised his eyes and looked around his head, "There are a lot of probes here, and the grandson can't escape."

This seems to be the first time he has been rude in front of everyone.

Not only Ji Tong, but also Zheng Beibei and Yang Xiao were taken aback by his seriousness.Ji Tong immediately jumped up to stop him: "How can you tell who is who when it's so dark? Forget it, brother."

In the end, nothing happened.

Liang Yuchen was pulled by his arm, the veins on his forehead were stretched, obviously seriously angry, a pair of pitch-black pupils stared at him, all the anger of several days was poured out at this moment: "If you are sick, you can rest at home, why go out? !"

There was a smell of alcohol in the short breath, which scattered on Ji Tong's cheeks.

"I—" he breathed unevenly, "If you can come, I can't come? Besides, who am I, what does my business have to do with you, and it's worth you getting so angry for me?"

When he looked up, his eyes were already red.

Liang Yuchen refused to look at him.During the dispute, several beer bottles under the table were knocked over, and they scattered like bowling balls.

The other three were so frightened that they fell silent.

After a while, Liang Yuchen shook off his hand: "You're right, your matter really has nothing to do with me."

A few bottles of wine made people lose their minds and become more disheartened.

Ji Tong leaned against the edge of the table and could barely stand up: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I'm so cheap, I'll let you take care of it."

After speaking, he rushed out, not wanting to pay attention to the people behind him.Unexpectedly, before he ran out of the door, he stepped on a puddle of wine stains, his body slipped suddenly, and he fell firmly to the ground.

He screamed in pain, his shoulder hit the floor with a bang.

The sound of the music was surging, and the people around took a step back to look at him like a tide, but no one stepped forward to help him.

The right arm was covered with dirt from the floor, Ji Tong's sleeves were half wet, and the side of his hair was also wet in a large area, and he was in a mess.Men and women gathered around him, the studs on their sneakers and the metal heels of their high heels gleaming, whispering to each other.

He gritted his teeth and supported the chair by the bar, stood up tremblingly, his ankle twisted and hurt, and he still jumped forward with one leg.

Unexpectedly, before jumping out a meter, someone hugged him from behind, and Yun Fu's voice rang in his ears.

"You're dumb, can't you call?"

He turned around and saw a dark face staring at him with dark eyes.

Zheng Beibei and the others also rushed over, helping him up from left to right.

But Ji Tong couldn't see anyone, only Liang Yuchen.Unable to control his grievances, he sniffed his nose in a useless voice, "Brother..."

With such loud music and such a dark hall, who else would pay attention to his voice and his position besides his brother?

"Let me come, you play your game." Liang Yuchen sent Beibei and others to support him alone, "Where did you fall?"

"My feet hurt, my feet hurt very much."

He acted like a baby softly, knowing that Liang Yuchen would definitely hear it.

"Bouncing when it hurts? Aren't you very smart, have you lost your mind?" Liang Yuchen pressed the fire, hugged him tightly and walked to the bright place outside, not despising the dirty water on his body at all.

Behind them was the waiter who came after hearing the news, yelling to wipe the floor with a rag, and the manager chased after them and apologized repeatedly, saying that the cleaning of the store was too slow, the spilled wine was not cleaned up in time, and they would pay for the medical expenses.

Ji Tong complained in a low voice: "I won't come to your shabby shop again."

Liang Yuchen immediately stopped him with his eyes, not allowing him to provoke casually.

Just at this glance, Ji Tong's sky suddenly cleared up.There were mixed feelings in his heart, and he felt that something had returned to his hand firmly and securely, and it was there.

My brother still cared about him very much, for fear that he would break and be beaten.

Walking outside the store, the street lights were dim, and trendy men and women were gathering at the door in twos and threes, puffing and puffing.

Liang Yuchen arranged him to sit on the marble steps, and asked him to take a taxi far away by himself.Ji Tong hurriedly grabbed his sleeve: "Brother, I don't need to go to the hospital, my feet are fine."

"I know."

Ji Tong was startled: "You know?"

"I checked it just now, and it's just a slight sprain." Liang Yuchen's face was hidden in the backlight, and the shadow enveloped him, "I'm going to call a car to take you home."

"What about you?" He asked anxiously, "Aren't you going back with me?"

"I drank and went to live in school."

"Then I'll live in school too."

"You have limited mobility, and your roommates are not here, how can you live?"

"I'll live with you!" Ji Tong tugged at his cuffs tightly, "I'll tell my mom right now, she won't care if I go to school tonight or not, as long as I'm with you."

Liang Yuchen fell silent.

"Brother..." Ji Tong shook his wrist lightly, "Please..." His voice was soft and sweet, like the thickest honey I've ever drunk.

Liang Yuchen's heart hardened: "No, I'll take you home."

Ji Tong's nose was sour, and he held back before he left: "Brother, you said that if I passed the 70 in the professional course, I would listen to me. Isn't it worth talking?"

The opportunity that was originally planned to be reserved for the future can only be used in advance now. Although it is a pity, there is no other way.Ji Tong had a vague feeling that he couldn't let his brother leave him tonight.

He insisted repeatedly, but Liang Yuchen could only let him hold her tightly, and compromised after a long silence.

"I'll call a car to pick you up."

Ji Tong was elated, and as soon as the reconciliation was reconciled, he began to push forward: "It's fine if I go with you and take a taxi, I can't drive in here."

Liang Yuchen frowned: "Do you think your feet don't hurt enough?"

He raised his chin and bent his eyes: "You carry me on your back."

Eyes brighter than the stars.

Without giving a chance to hesitate, he added another coquettish sentence: "Quickly squat down."

Liang Yuchen could only turn his back, squat down in front of him, and let him climb onto his back, arch his head towards his neck, rub the tip of his nose against his cheek, and his Adam's apple was warmed by his breath.

"Hold me tight."

"I know, I know." Ji Tong wrapped his legs around his waist, wrapped his arms around his neck, and hung them tightly like a koala, "Get up—!"

Even if you hurt your foot, you still have to mess around.

Liang Yuchen supported Ji Tong's leg with his hands, and his steps were steady. It didn't look like there was a burden on his body, but a ball of cotton, which was light and soft, wrapping his chilly body.

Before getting the apology he wanted, he has chosen to forgive without principle.

Coming and going attracts people's attention, but they feel at ease as if they are on a deserted street.

"Brother..." Ji Tong murmured, "Why are you angry with me? Can you let me know the reason?"

It is asking the question knowingly again, insisting on asking the other party to clarify.

The horn blew softly behind him, Liang Yuchen backed him to the side, and from the corner of his vision he saw him tilting his head and staring at his side face.

"Is it because of Beibei?" He deliberately tried, "Do you like her?"

Liang Yuchen replied in a low voice: "What does it have to do with her?"

Ji Tong took a long breath of relief and said, "I was so scared to death, I thought you liked her."

A short sentence was like a lightning strike, which made Liang Yuchen's heart beat almost out of his voice, and asked, "What are you afraid of?"

"I'm afraid I'll call her sister-in-law." Ji Tong didn't tell the truth, "That's so embarrassing."

In fact, he was afraid that his brother would be snatched away, and he would understand no matter how careless he was.

Liang Yuchen's heart palpitated, and he regained his composure. He lifted him up an inch and carried him firmly: "No way."

"That's good."

Some people answered innocently, some people answered hypocritically.

Passing through the most congested section of the road, the surroundings finally returned to silence, the street lights cast their shadows together.

"Brother," Ji Tong's two soft hands were freezing cold, and he fumbled around his neck, "It's so warm."

Someone stuffed Liang Yuchen's chest with a rabbit, and he was so restless that he was almost out of breath.

"You shouldn't give gifts to others," he said in a deep voice, trying to steady his mind, "I bought you those shoes so hard."

All the hard work is in the word "hard work".

The hands around his neck were suddenly released, and Ji Tong's mind was relieved, knowing that he had let down his heart, and Liang Yuchen's caring was even more intoxicated.

It took a long time before he said softly: "I was wrong..."

After finishing speaking, she turned her face sideways, put the tip of her nose against his chin, and asked flatteringly: "Can you forgive me, brother, I will never do this again."

The cold night is long, the cold wind is blowing, but the blood is boiling hot.Liang Yuchen's body was blocked by a mass of emotions, his heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys all gave way, allowing this mass of restlessness to occupy all his mind.

He couldn't answer a word.

Just carrying Ji Tong on his back, as if he could go to the ends of the earth, he knew that his heart no longer belonged to him.

"Brother?" Ji Tong leaned closer again.

He turned his head, and the two faces were so close that they exchanged breaths: "Tongtong, if you throw away the things I gave you in the future, remember to keep it from me forever."
