hang out

It was Tong Yuying who knocked on the door. Behind her stood a strange woman whom Yan Guozhong didn't recognize. He smiled and let his neighbor come in and sit sideways.

Tong Yuying didn't enter the door but stood there and asked, "Master, did Jing Lei from our family come to your room?"

The old man didn't know what was going on, he just shook his head when his grandson told him that the child was not there before he came to open the door.

"Impossible," the woman behind Tong Yuying said, "I saw him enter this door."

Tong Yuying turned around and said: "Guofang, maybe you misread it, let's go home and wait, the child will probably be back soon."

"Sister-in-law, don't lie to me. You saw him just now, didn't you? This time I will take him away no matter what I say."

Lin Guofang's words made Tong Yuying dumb, she opened her mouth but said nothing, watching the woman behind her walk into the door of Lao Yan's house.In the winter, she couldn't bear the heart of Uncle Yan to wait for her with the door open, so she immediately followed in.

Yan Ziqing, who was sitting at the dining table eating, put down the bowl and chopsticks, jumped off the stool and ran over with a smile: "Aunt Tong!"

"Good girl, Xiaoqing."

Yan Zizheng leaned out of the room and saw that walking in front of Tong Yuying was a woman with big curly hair and exquisite fashion makeup, looking around and shouting: "Jing Lei?"

After hearing this sound, Yan Zizheng turned around and looked at the motionless sheet blocking the bottom of the bed, then closed the door and walked out.

As soon as the door was closed, Lin Jinglei lying under the bed had to be very serious to hear the situation outside. He could hear Lin Guofang calling him, and the sound was suddenly far away and near.

This woman hardly showed up before, but she came more and more frequently in recent years.He would always look for various opportunities to come to see him, and would take him away every time. Lin Jinglei failed to do what he wanted every time, and most of them would avoid seeing him.

He didn't know about such a sudden visit, and he couldn't help complaining about Lin Tai. Before, as long as his younger brother knew that Lin Guofang was coming, he would find a way to tell him.

Thinking of Lin Jinglei struggling to take out his phone to check the unread message, it's not Lin Tai's fault, it's his own fault for not reading it, if he reads it, he can hide somewhere instead of going into the yard, why bother to get under Yan Zizheng's bed , I never hid in such a naive place when I was playing hide-and-seek when I was a child.

He could guess that Lin Guofang must have taken him away with the excuse that his uncle and his aunt were divorced and it was inconvenient for both of them to take care of him.

The more Lin Jinglei thought about it, the angrier he became, he simply didn't hide anymore, he crawled out from under the bed and shouted loudly: "I'm here! Stop shouting!"

Seeing Lin Jinglei coming out, Lin Guofang was overjoyed, and hurriedly walked up to the young man, with a look of anticipation on his face: "Let's go back there with Mom for the Chinese New Year."

Lin Jinglei glanced at the woman: "Two questions, whose mother are you? Why did I go with you?"

"Jing Lei, you can't do this..."

Lin Jinglei took half a step back, squeezed Lin Guofang's sleeve and broke free from the hand that was holding him: "Don't be silly, I'm not familiar with you."

"Mom, it's..."

"Do you not understand?" Lin Jinglei pointed to Tong Yuying and said to Lin Guofang, "How many times have I told you that she is my mother."

Everyone else in the room was also looking at him like Lin Guofang, which made Lin Jinglei realize that he couldn't get mad in this room, so he raised his foot and walked towards the door, and as soon as he walked, he took the two women who came here with him come out.

After Yan Zizheng sent the person out, he closed the door. Instead of returning to the dining table to continue eating, he put his ear on the door and listened to the movement outside. He filtered out all the noise, leaving only Lin Jinglei's roaring speech.

"What size shoes do I wear, what kind of food do I like to eat, do you know all of this? She taught me how to dress, wash my face and brush my teeth, cook for me and send me to school, wash my clothes, pants and socks, you have done all these things Is it? She raised me up so much that you didn't want, but you want to take me away, so why do you want to take me away? "

"When I was a few years old, I suffered from autism. I didn't play with other children and didn't like to talk. You didn't come back to see me once. She already had her own child and didn't ignore me. Without her, I wouldn't be what I am now. , what are you? You are just a selfish outsider!"

"There are many things I don't want to tell you, I don't even want to see you, why do you still come?"

"You're not going, are you? Well, I'll go!"

A few seconds later, the sound of the iron gate reached his ears. Yan Zizheng opened the door a crack, and when he saw Lin Tai chasing him out, he closed the door.

About ten minutes later, Yu Zhaoyu called and insisted on asking him to go out, but he refused in a tone that seemed to be complaining all night, "I won't go out, I will take a long trip by car tomorrow, and I have to pack my things."

"Go to your father's place with Xiaoqing?"

"Ah."

You Zhaoyu sighed, "I'm in a bad mood."

"Just say it on the phone."

"I was chatting with Zhang Ziqiong just now, and she said that Zou Jing had been dating a man for a few years."

Yan Zizheng snorted, "He's ten years older than you, isn't it normal to have a bit of a past, you should be glad that he really likes men, right?"

"Although I said that, I still feel uncomfortable," You Zhaoyu sighed again, "Guess who that man is."

"I guess where to go."

"It's the leader of the province who came last time, the one surnamed Han. It's really a belated realization. I said that at that time, why did he hide like he saw a ghost?"

"It's not happy at this level."

"I'm not happy because I don't understand what he said to me that day. Why didn't I understand? The one surnamed Han understood? Also, Zhang Ziqiong said that Zou Jingneng didn't like me at all, saying that Zou Jing liked it. Mature, stable, smart, see which one is close to me."

Yan Zizheng chuckled: "You still know."

"But I also know a lot about him, such as what school he graduated from, where his family is..."

Yan Zizheng took the phone away from his ear without listening to You Zhaoyu's words. After confirming that it was the door, he quickly went to the door and opened it.

He asked Lin Tai who was locking the door with his head bowed: "Your brother didn't come back with you?"

Lin Tai turned around when he heard the voice: "He won't come back, and he won't let me follow."

"What about others?"

Lin Jinglei was really depressed, walked along the street into the central square of Tanghe District, passed by the aunts dancing in the square despite the severe cold, and passed by the little kids who were talking, laughing and playing football, wanting to lighten the fire. But he was afraid of being embarrassed by Tang Shan, he wanted to go to Zero Degree, but he was afraid that Zheng Qiaoyin would persuade him to make posters endlessly, he wanted to go to Qingmu Street, but he was afraid of encountering the little yellow hat and their crowd, so he had to stop and sit in front of him. on a chair in the distance.

"It's so fucking cold." He shrank his shoulders feeling the heat from his buttocks.

He didn't think about anything, he was just in a daze, looking at the old grandpas whipping ice monkeys on the frozen artificial lake, listening to the loud lashes of whipping and lashing coldly.

The temperature in this city at night in the middle of winter can reach nearly minus [-] degrees, and homeless people don't like to stay here at this time and move south collectively.Yan Zizheng came in the direction Lin Tai said, turned around the square a few times and suspected that Lin Jinglei hadn't stayed, and when he answered the phone, he turned around looking for the voice and saw the person sitting on the chair a few meters behind him. .

Yan Zizheng really saw someone sitting here just now, and thought it was an old man resting nearby, so he glanced over and passed by.He hung up the phone and came over, and heard Lin Jinglei scolding him in a low voice: "You idiot, don't talk when you answer."

Yan Zizheng sat next to Lin Jinglei and looked at the ice in the distance: "Is this just talking?"

Lin Jinglei was taken aback by the person who suddenly sat over: "Why are you here?"

"Like you, come out for a stroll."

Lin Jinglei didn't say a word, he looked at the tip of his shoes and sniffed, suddenly he didn't feel so cold anymore.

1 minute, 2 minutes, 3 minutes, Yan Zizheng spoke first.

"I'm going away tomorrow, so let's install the network cable when I come back."

"When are you coming back?"

"Let's celebrate the New Year."

"Damn, it's long enough."

"Why, do you think it's been too long?"

"It's hard to live without the Internet. I have to go to the Internet cafe every day. Can it be too long?"

Yan Zizheng turned his head and asked, "Is it cold?"

Lin Jinglei moved his hands in his pockets considerably: "I have pockets in my clothes today."

Yan Zizheng smiled without saying a word, stood up and crossed his long legs and walked straight to the frozen lake.

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing Yan Zizheng turning around and waving, Lin Jinglei got up and walked over.

Playing slippery Northeast children have been willing to play since they were young. It is fun to run a few steps on the ice and let the inertia lead the body forward, even if it falls down.

When Yan Zizheng got on the ice, he ran up and slid. He lowered his center of gravity and his body was very stable. When he had to stop, he repeated the trick again.

Lin Jinglei became interested when he saw the situation, and also slid forward, no matter how much he ran up, the skating was still not far enough.He stopped and asked the people in front: "How did you slide so far?"

Yan Zizheng laughed out loud: "Maybe you are sinking."

"Fuck, can you chat!"

On the wide ice surface, this bank is full of singing and dancing, and the opposite side is full of tall buildings. The figures moving on the ice look like little ants from a distance.

The two teenagers reached the middle of the lake by skating, which was farther than gesturing and discussing how to slide.

Yan Zizheng knelt down and sat down on the ice, looking at Lin Jinglai who was still playing in front of him, he said leisurely: "When I was young, there was an artificial lake in the building area of ​​my house. When it was frozen, I would go to play on it, and even fell into the ice. in the hole."

Lin Jinglei laughed loudly: "You also have such a bad time?"

Yan Zizheng raised his eyebrows and asked: "I hear you mean that you have fallen into it too?"

Lin Jinglei curled his lips: "It doesn't matter, I was pushed in by some children, but I was quite happy in the end, after all, my aunt beat up those children who were older than me and cried in front of me."

"Aunt Tong has taken care of you since you were a child, right?"

Lin Jinglei nodded as he sat down: "I've been by her side since I was less than two years old."

Yan Zizheng nodded: "It can be seen that you are very close to her."

Lin Jinglei lay on his back on the ice and changed the subject: "What do you think the ice suddenly cracked?"

When Yan Zizheng was asked this question, he smiled: "What are you thinking about?"

"If you leave, I won't have a partner in the close combat class, or I won't go either?"

"Nick might lend you his teaching assistant."

"That muscular man is sissy?" Lin Jinglei trembled, "I get goosebumps when he speaks."

Yan Zizheng moved his body and lay down to look at the night sky: "Orion is due south, I'll be back."

Lin Jinglei looked at the stars in the sky seriously, and raised his hand to point: "Is it it? The one with one star at each of the four corners and the one with three in the middle?"

Yan Zizheng looked at the person lying beside him: "Well, it is it."

Lin Jinglei turned his head to the side, met Yan Zizheng's straight gaze, and forgot what he wanted to say, the cold air lingered on the side of his face, and the heartbeat in his chest was so frenzied, he couldn't even be sure that he was moving, just so dazed When Yan Zizheng approached, he also leaned over, their noses touched the tip of their noses, the temperature of their breath was hot and humid, if it wasn't for the vibrating cell phone in his pocket, he didn't know what unimaginable things would have happened.

The panic was the tacit understanding between the two of them at this time.They crawled up and sat up without looking at each other. One took out their mobile phones and one stood up.

"Brother, come back, my aunt is gone."

Lin Jinglei hummed and hung up the phone, stood up and patted the frost on his pants: "I'm going home, are you coming back?"

Yan Zizheng cleared his throat, looked into the distance: "Go back."

So, the two walked back, one in front and the other behind, one deliberately did not wait, the other deliberately did not chase, and kept a distance of half a meter and moved forward synchronously.

The street lights were very bright, Lin Jinglei was always listening to the footsteps behind him, he still remembered the heartbeat just now, he wanted to laugh but he didn't, if he turned around, he could see the generous smile on the face of the young man behind him.

After entering the compound and going back to each house, Lin Jinglei suddenly remembered something and pushed the door out again. He ran to the door of Lao Yan's house, and before he could knock on the door, the door opened.

Yan Zizheng asked the person outside the door who was still raising his hand: "What's wrong?"

Lin Jinglei put his raised hand on the door frame: "That... I remembered that my schoolbag is still under your bed."

Yan Zizheng turned sideways: "Come in and get it."

"No, you can help me get it."

Yan Zizheng still stretched out his hand and dragged him in: "Get it yourself."

Lin Jinglei had no choice but to go to Yan Zizheng's room. As soon as he bent down and lifted the bed sheet, the people who followed came over.He didn't have the confidence to ask: "What...why?"

Yan Zizheng squatted there with one hand resting on the bed and stroked the back of Lin Jinglei's head with the other, and imprinted his lips on Lin Jinglei's lips in a flash.

Lin Jinglei was completely flustered, he pushed people away with staring eyes, stood still for two seconds, got up and left.

Yan Zizheng went under the bed and pulled out his schoolbag and chased after him. When he opened the door and came out, Lin Jinglei had already reached the door next door. He shouted, "Didn't you take the schoolbag away?"

Lin Jinglei stopped there with a stiff body, turned around like a whirlwind and pulled the schoolbag from Yan Zizheng's hand, Yan Zizheng quickly grasped Lin Jinglei's wrist, he tentatively asked: "Are you angry?"

Lin Jinglei quietly looked at the face of the young man in front of him, pulled his collar to pull him towards him, quickly imprinted the kiss just now back in the same way, and then walked away without looking back: "Your answer now is my answer .”

He thought he was pretty cool, but as soon as he entered the door, he was paralyzed, leaning against the door and slumping non-stop, with a stupid expression on his face, cursing in his heart, fuck, what happened just now.
