why do you like me

014 go back

When Jiang Chuan rushed out, Nan Xichi yelled, without saying anything, took out the credit card from his wallet and threw it over.Jiang Chuan took the credit card and put it in his pocket, thumped downstairs, and ran all the way to the train station.

On the phone, Cheng Jing said that he had a fever, and his usual calm voice was weak and hoarse. Jiang Chuan agreed to go to N City without thinking.After buying a ticket and entering the station, he came back to his senses after getting on the high-speed train, looking sideways at the hazy reflection on the window glass, his heaving chest was full of heat.

When he was 15 years old, he made a decision to drive that idiot father Jiang Guodong out of the house. It doesn't matter if he becomes a sinner. He worked hard to earn money to support Jin Min and saved a sum for Jiang Xing's treatment.He knew his sexual orientation, so he didn't even think about who to marry and form a family.He did what he could, picking out the means of earning a living that best suited his situation.

Jiang Chuan never thought that he would meet Cheng Jing in the coming year.

Not just to be amazed.

He knew that he was a criminal in the eyes of others, but that boy was as if nothing had happened, just paying attention to his possible social fear with a sensitivity that surpassed ordinary people.

Such a definite love, such a definite desperation, it doesn't matter if the head is broken.He watched himself sink in madly and rationally, unable to find an excuse to excuse himself, and he didn't want to make an excuse.

Jiang Chuan only went to N City to participate in a math competition when he was in junior high school, and he was completely unfamiliar with the roads of this provincial capital city.After getting off the high-speed rail, waiting in line for a taxi was too time-consuming, so he took the subway and changed buses all the way to the Internet cafe where Cheng Jing was staying, relying on the map on his phone.

Cheng Jing had already passed out in the private room.

Jiang Chuan walked over on tiptoe and reached out to touch Cheng Jing's forehead.He saw the medicine box and mineral water on the table, and knew that Cheng Jing had already taken the medicine, but the situation did not improve significantly.

"Cheng Jing." He leaned over and woke the boy softly, "I'll take you to the hospital."

It took Cheng Jing a while to move, "Jiang Chuan...I want to go back."

"Go to the hospital first, and go back when you're all right."

Jiang Chuan helped Chengjing stand up.Cheng Jing couldn't use his strength and was very heavy.Jiang Chuan called the network manager of the Internet cafe, and the two helped Cheng Jing get into the taxi.The driver took the two of them to the nearest hospital. Jiang Chuan didn't call for help, instead he hung Cheng Jing's backpack on his shoulder and picked them up.

Just after nine o'clock in the morning, Cheng Jing was lying on the bed hanging water, and Jiang Chuan came in with medicine and porridge.Cheng Jing opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Chuan silently. Tears were streaming from the corners of his eyes because of his illness, and his eyes were red.

The porridge was bought near the hospital, and it was still piping hot.Jiang Chuan asked for a takeaway box, poured out half of the porridge now, stirred it with chopsticks, and said, "Are you arguing with your family? Why are you going to an Internet cafe? OK."

Cheng Jing stared at Jiang Chuan's movements, "I want to eat dumplings."

His voice was very soft, his breath cut his throat, it hurt and itched, but he also had a strange pleasure, so he raised his voice slightly and continued: "The dumpling you made that day was fried with eggs...it was delicious. "

Jiang Chuan put down his chopsticks, leaned over and pinched Cheng Jing's face twice, "Are you sure you can eat something so greasy right now?"

Cheng Jing looked at him with the helplessness of a small animal, and said, "I really want to eat."

Jiang Chuan picked up the boy from the quilt, put the pillow on Cheng Jing's waist, then picked up the porridge bowl and said, "Come on, master, let's have porridge first."

Cheng Jing pouted.

Presuming he didn't see it, Jiang Chuan picked up the porridge with a spoon and brought it to Cheng Jing's mouth, saying, "Don't talk about frying dumplings with your voice, drinking water can make H and O separate. First, some porridge, then Order anti-inflammatory drugs, and we will go home alive and well this afternoon!"

Cheng Jing: "..."

Cheng Jing drank a few mouthfuls of porridge, took antibiotics, and stopped lying down. He just sat and watched Jiang Chuan go about his business, his head was so dizzy that he didn't think about anything.Jiang Chuan went to the nurse to ask about the situation, and when he came back, he picked up the leftover porridge and finished it with a snort.

Cheng Jing: "You didn't have breakfast?"

Jiang Chuan nodded, not daring to say that the early morning call was just to ask Cheng Jing when he would return to Xitangkou, so he could figure out how long he could play.

He didn't bring anything with him, and he didn't sleep all night. Now that he was quiet, he couldn't stop his sleepiness, so he moved his buttocks and went to bed.The quilt was on Cheng Jing's body, so he pressed the quilt, took up some space on the edge of the bed, said "Don't be disgusted, you can hit me again when you're sick", closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Cheng Jing looked at him.

The boy's hair is very short, without bangs or curls, and the roots stand on end. Cheng Jing stretched out his hand and stroked it lightly.The hair looks hard, but it feels soft. Just like this person, sometimes his temper is so cruel that it makes people feel uncomfortable, and sometimes he is so good that there is no bottom line.

It was already past noon after hanging the water, and Cheng Jing didn't have any appetite, and she didn't talk about contacting her family.Jiang Chuan bought something to eat by himself, and bought a cup at a nearby Starbucks. He didn't ask for coffee, so he asked the waiter to fill it with hot water, and then went to the train station with Cheng Jing.

The air-conditioning on the high-speed train caused headaches, and Jiang Chuan became angry: "The air-conditioning in N City is free, it's so cold everywhere, and there are penguins on the ground, right?"

Jiang Chuan asked the flight attendant to borrow a blanket. The other party looked at his ticket and said, "It's only ten minutes, bear with it."

Jiang Chuan: "..."

Jiang Chuan held back his temper, "My brother is sick, so he can't turn on the air conditioner."

Finally, under Jiang Chuan's stalking, the flight attendant lent him a large uniform.Jiang Chuan put the uniform on for Cheng Jing, Cheng Jing was not happy, coughed and said, "The clothes are too big."

"Patients have no human rights!"

Jiang Chuan successfully got Cheng Jing to put on the uniform, and then stretched out an arm behind Cheng Jing's back, gently wrapping his arms around the boy's waist.Cheng Jing didn't resist, she sat quietly, and after a while she couldn't hold her head back.Jiang Chuan said, "Lean on my shoulder."

Cheng Jing leaned over.

The ten-minute drive seems to be half a lifetime, and the two rely on each other to spend it.Jiang Chuan looked from top to bottom, and saw the boy's tall and straight nose, long and thick eyelashes, trembling slightly.

Jiang Chuan felt a crisp and itchy heart, as if being brushed by trembling eyelashes.He lowered his head and leaned into Cheng Jing's ear and said, "Did you quarrel with your father?"

After a while, Cheng Jing said, "I thought you wouldn't ask."

Jiang Chuan looked at the fields and rivers galloping by outside the window, and his mood was so hot and full of eerie tranquility.He heard himself say, "You went to Xitangkou because your mother drew it, didn't you?"

Cheng Jing didn't answer, she closed her eyes and hugged the cup of hot water.Jiang Chuan continued: "I don't know much about your family's situation. If you don't tell me, I won't follow up and ask. When I go back now, my mother will ask why you have a fever. What excuse do you think I should make up?"

Cheng Jing: "We two robbed the quilt, I didn't rob you."

Jiang Chuan laughed with a stuffy chest, "Okay."

The train will arrive soon.The air-conditioning in the subway was too high, and the taxis had to be queued for a long time. Jiang Chuan was having a hard time supporting Cheng Jing. He was full of thoughts about buying a car when he had money.Cheng Jing's throat was dry, and he drank a few mouthfuls of hot water, his whole body was hot, but his consciousness was much clearer than in the morning.He said: "Take the subway, some places have less air conditioning."

Line 1 transfers to Line 2, and the terminal station is Xitangkou.

Only then did Jiang Chuan call Jin Min, and then he made up another set of lies with yesterday's excuse, saying that Cheng Jing had caught a cold at night.He was about to send Cheng Jing back, but Jin Min said, "Take Cheng Jing to our house."

Jiang Chuan didn't understand what Jin Min meant until he got home.Cheng Jing lives alone and has no one to take care of her.

Children from other people's families always seem to be more expensive.Jin Min dug out a bunch of medicines, the rock sugar pears were almost ready, and Jiang Xing took the initiative to watch the fire.

Helping Cheng Jing into his bedroom, Jiang Chuan saw that even the sheets had been replaced with brand new ones, so he couldn't help laughing and said, "Mom, I picked it up, it's too late for you to admit it now."

Later, Cheng Jing stopped talking on the bullet train, and Jiang Chuan felt that it was because of his own problems.With Jin Min around, Jiang Chuan didn't stay in the room, but went downstairs to look for something to eat in the refrigerator.He was very hungry today, and he only ate something indiscriminately for most of the day.Now that he was finally done, he stood at the gate with a chocolate bar in his mouth, staring at the road in a daze.

Jiang Xing came out of the kitchen.Although she took the initiative to show affection to Jiang Chuan twice, she still didn't chat with Jiang Chuan much, as if there was some lump in her heart that she hadn't completely dug out.Seeing her hesitant to speak, Jiang Chuan raised his eyes and asked, "Is there anything you want to tell me?"

Jiang Xing: "Do you want to send Brother Cheng Jing to the hospital?"

Jiang Chuan: "I just came back from the hospital."

Jiang Xing: "Oh."

not talking anymore.

The water in the pot boiled out, Jiang Xing quickly turned off the fire.Jiang Chuan leaned against the door frame, looked at Jiang Xing who was in a hurry from the corner of his eyes, and suddenly said: "Xingzi, please leave me a bowl, Cheng Jing can't eat such a big pot."

Jiang Xing looked back at him, "Oh."

Jiang Chuan watched Jiang Xing take out two bowls, smiled and looked at the road again, biting the chocolate bar.What is there to be angry about, what is there to quarrel with, the best thing to coax is the family.

So, what was Cheng Jing thinking?

Cheng Jing drank rock sugar pears and slept for another afternoon.When he woke up at night, Jiang Chuan had already finished two test papers and was pulling Jiang Xing's homework book to read the questions.

Jiang Chuan: "What the hell are elementary school students learning now? I, a sophomore in high school, can't understand it!"

Cheng Jing: "You never memorize knowledge points, what can you understand?"

He was about to take the homework, Jin Min said through the window: "Cheng Jing, don't be busy, take a good rest today."

Cheng Jing was sweating all over, the fever had completely subsided, and he still had a little cough.He walked over and said, "Aunt Jin, thank you, I'm much better."

Jin Min said: "It's all right, you're going to sleep at our house tonight, just sleep in Jiang Chuan's room. Jiang Chuan can't get your quilt when he sleeps on the sofa. You should have a good rest. If you still don't feel well tomorrow, let Jiang Chuan ask for leave for you."

Jiang Chuan: "Mom, did I agree to sleeping on the sofa?"

Jiang Xing: "You can choose to sleep on the sofa or under the bed."

Jiang Chuan: "..."

Cheng Jing stood in front of the corridor, his figure was hazy, looking at Jiang Chuan and smiling.The smile was still weak, but it was full of wantonness.Jiang Chuan found that Cheng Jing seldom smiled so broadly, it was not like broken porcelain, but a blooming flower on the porcelain.White, delicate, elegant and lonely.

Jiang Chuan held his chin and smiled casually: "That's fine. Cheng Jing, you wrap up the quilt. I might sleepwalk back at night and grab the quilt from you again."

The lie that only two people knew seemed to be true at the moment.

Like an unspoken secret.

The author has something to say:

Jiang Chuan: If you sleep in my bed, you are mine.

Cheng Jing: ...
