crush again

Huo Yang hurried back home, ready for a fierce battle.But when he opened the door, what he saw was that the whole family was sitting at the table eating honestly, only Lin Zhi was not there.He glanced at the room, and there was no mess everywhere, and there was not even a broken cup in the trash can.

So I thought clearly, oh, this is tricking him to go home.

Ye Jingzhi, his adoptive father, saw him and waved his chopsticks in a very natural manner, "Come and sit. Have you eaten yet?"

"Not yet." Huo Yang threw the backpack on the sofa, thought for a while, picked it up again, walked to his room, threw it on the bed and closed the door before walking to the dining table.

Ye Qian was in a daze at first, when everything was empty, he suddenly saw Huo Yang, his hands trembled nervously, and the spoon slammed into the soup, splashing half of his face.

There was quite a commotion, and Ye Jingzhi took a bite of the steamed buns slowly without raising his head.Seeing that he seemed to be frightened, Huo Yang sat there for a long time without reacting, so he took out a piece of paper, wiped his face clean, took off his glasses, took a breath, and patiently wiped them clean before putting them on. go back.

The glasses are very oddly shaped. The left and right lenses are dark red and dark blue, with different thicknesses and shapes. They look like sunglasses for the blind, but they turn into a big kaleidoscope after wearing them.Because Ye Qian always yelled that he saw some strange things, Lin Zhi went to a hospital that specializes in optical glasses, and got a pair of glasses according to his design, and he wore them from time to time. Reduced a lot.

Ye Qian was dazed for a long time before humming "thank you" like a mosquito, but Huo Yang had already stood up and went to the kitchen to serve porridge, so he didn't hear his words at all.After he came back and sat down, he didn't take it seriously, he just lowered his head and drank the porridge, as if he was used to helping him clean up the mess.

Ye Qian nervously tore at the corners of his clothes left and right, and his mind began to empty again. Unknowingly, his strength increased anxiously, tearing his clothes until there was a "scratch" sound. Finally, Ye Jingzhi couldn't bear it anymore and put down his chopsticks, and let out a loud sound. The scolding sound woke him up: "Have you finished yet?"

Huo Yang was also distracted at first, thinking back to his little male god, who hadn't eaten a vegetable for a long time, and was startled by the sound, and quickly pulled back the corner of his mouth, "Ah? What's wrong?"

Ye Qian panicked even more when he heard the words, almost jumping up.He got up in a hurry, said "I, I'm full" in a low voice, and wanted to go back to his room.

But as soon as he got up, the glasses that slid off his sweaty skin were already hanging precariously, and now they fell directly from under his nose to the ground.He hurriedly bent down to pick it up, and almost knocked over the table, Huo Yang was quick to hold the soup pot with his eyes, so it didn't splash everywhere, but a few drops of greasy soup splashed onto Father Ye's hand.

Ye Jingzhi shouted: "Sit down for me!"

"..." Ye Qian put his glasses back firmly on his eyes before he dared to raise his head a little, and timidly looked at his father and brother.

Father looked at himself coldly, "Are you full?"

Seeing his son's hesitation and not daring to make a sound, Ye Jingzhi became even more dissatisfied, and said angrily, "I'm such a big man, I don't even wink at all. I'm lazy all day long. Wait here and help your brother clean the table and wash the dishes!"

Ye Qian let out a slow "ah", lowered his head, and sat down on the corner of the chair honestly.Huo Yang looked at this brother who was the same year, the same month and the same day as him, who was only born a little earlier than him, so languid and silent, he suddenly remembered the first time he saw him when he was a child.

When Ye Jingzhi, Lin Zhi and his wife went to the Rainbow Welfare Institute, they immediately took a fancy to him.At that time, little Huo Yang was cute, smart and well-behaved, and he was really pleasing to the eye among the handicapped children everywhere.They took little Huo Yang to buy expensive clothes and toys, and took him to eat the highest quality meal in his life, and went home happily all the way.

Little Huo Yang sat in a spacious and comfortable car, followed his future parents, and lived in a high-end apartment. Everything was too beautiful to be true—until he saw the biological child of the Ye family couple.

It is Ye Qian.

On the way here, the Ye family couple told him very seriously and kindly, you have a little brother who has a bad temper and is usually a little withdrawn. We hope you two can be a companion, and you must get along well with him.At that time, Huo Yang didn't ask carefully, but still agreed very cleverly and obediently, and said some innocent and childish words, which comforted the couple into obedience.

The result turned out to be far trickier than he imagined.

After many years, Huo Yang can still clearly recall the night when he first stepped into that house.The room was pitch black except for a chandelier in the dining room, which flickered on and off regularly.

There was a boy with his back to them, mechanically flipping a switch.Just looking at that stiff and strangely hunched back made one feel an extremely uncomfortable feeling inexplicably.

Pat, clack...

Pat, clack...

Little Huo Yang grabbed Ye Jingzhi's clothes reflexively. He wanted to say hello, but his voice stuck in his throat.Ye Jingzhi hesitated for a moment, and called his son's name.

Ye Qian was dazed for a long time, and slowly turned his head.Only then did Huo Yang realize that he was actually crying, crying silently, tears streaming down his face, and even the front of his clothes were soaked.The strange thing is that even though he cried like this, his face didn't move at all, and he stood there lifeless, as if there were only two unscrewed faucets growing on his face.

All three stood still, waiting for him to finish crying.Just when Lin Zhi wanted to go up to appease his son, Ye Qian's eyes suddenly turned rusty.

He noticed Huo Yang and saw him holding his father's hand.

The meal was incomparably silent.

When it was over, Ye Jingzhi said to Huo Yang: "Let's have a chat. Let Ye Qian clean up the table. Leave him alone. I'll just see how he cleans up."

Huo Yang had no choice but to say, "Don't embarrass him, I'll go find you after I clean up."

Ye Jingzhi was also talking about it, he also knew that his own son had never been involved in human affairs, so he reprimanded Ye Qian again, seeing that he was trembling, so he reluctantly suppressed his anger and let him go.Huo Yang cleaned up all the dishes and chopsticks, wet the mop with water and handed it to Ye Qian, thinking that wiping the table should not kill anyone.

But he still underestimated this mentally ill person.

After Huo Yang finished cleaning all the pots and pans and placed them neatly, as soon as he came out, he froze in place—Ye Qian wiped the table clean and clean, and there was a spot under every bottle and jar. It was very clean, while the other person was kneeling on the ground, desperately digging at the gap between the glass panel and the table top, his face and neck were flushed and his veins were bulging.

"Hey hey hey, what are you doing?"

He slapped Ye Qian's back with his palm, and Ye Qian turned around panting heavily, and when he moved his head, Huo Yang saw two grains of rice stuck in the gap.

"How many years will you have to pick?" Huo Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry.He rolled up his sleeves, carefully lifted the glass plate, and commanded Ye Qian, "Isn't this enough—wipe it quickly, it's too heavy."

Ye Qian moved very quickly this time, he wiped the surroundings clean by the way, ran into the kitchen silently, and went to wash the mop.

Huo Yang watched him wash even the mop very carefully, touched his chin, and knew in his heart that although his brother was crazy, he was not stupid, and he was a little afraid of him, so he didn't want to stay with him.

Back then in the Rainbow Welfare Institute, the ones who had the best time with Huo Yang were the clever and wimpy kids, represented by a little glasses.This man with glasses grew up fighting with Huo Yang on the street. Seeing that he was adopted, his head was tied with gauze every day. He couldn't bear it. He gathered his hands and secretly tricked Ye Qian out and beat him to death.

This scene was very noisy, the Ye family couple almost went to the police, Huo Yang refused to confess to any of his buddies, he cried, made trouble and ran away, trying his best to suppress the matter.During that time, his relationship with the Ye family had dropped to a freezing point. Lin Zhi considered sending him back to the orphanage, but the orphanage refused to accept any adopted children, and Ye Jingzhi sent him to a boarding school.

It wasn't until recently that their relationship slowly warmed up. The Ye family and his wife also knew that they were sorry for him, and each of them took a step back, so they managed to survive this day.But Ye Qian learned a lesson, so he didn't stay with Huo Yang much, and always tried to avoid him.

Huo Yang was too lazy to explain, so he simply let him go, wiped his hands, and sat down in the living room.

Ye Jingzhi glanced at him, knocked the soft Zhonghua on the edge of the table with a corner torn off, poured out a cigarette, and raised his chin to signal him to take one too.He watched Huo Yang put on a cigarette, without any nonsense, straight to the point: "The old man told me that you want to adopt that child?"

Huo Yang lowered his head and lit his fire, his voice was a bit vague, "It's not adoption."

He turned his head sideways, exhaled a long puff of smoke skillfully, his eyes were obscured by clouds and mist, and a lot of the bright light was covered, and they were very dark and deep. In Ye Jingzhi's eyes, he looked like an adult.He said in this calm and frank manner: "The old man decides who the guardianship will be. I just want to live with him, or I can go and see him when I am free. Their family matters, such as company inheritance rights, shares , I have no intention of participating."

There is no ashtray at home, Ye Jingzhi rarely smokes, and of course Huo Yang doesn't pretend to be a bad boy at home.He casually picked up a used cardboard box and handed it to Ye Jingzhi first. After he flicked off the extra cigarette butts, he gently knocked off the ash.The father and son were like old smokers for many years. Ye Jingzhi swallowed while talking, "You didn't mean that, and the people over there might not think so. You are just an adult now, and you should plan for the future , When you work hard, you are too young to take care of your children, but you are old enough to fight for power. It is difficult."

"Ye Heling's family is different from ours." Ye Jingzhi leaned forward, put his elbows on his knees, and gently twisted the filter of the cigarette, "In the older generation of Ye's family, Ye Heling was the third child, and my father was the eldest. , but far worse than him. My father went south to Shaoxing, and his business was ruined, so he ran back to find him. The old man said at the time, if you stay in Zhejiang for a few more years, you can ask him for money, and you have to stay there even if you endure hardships. My father didn't listen and insisted on coming back, and then the old man sent a young man there to take over my father's factory that was about to go bankrupt."

"That factory has driven the development of the entire region and developed a whole group, and it is still the focus of the policy." Ye Jingzhi looked into the young man's eyes and sighed, "Now the old man came here to ask me about you. .”

Huo Yang smiled, "Ask me if I am a pedophile?"

"Don't be so old." Ye Jingzhi murmured, "The main reason is to ask how you are, and also asked a lot about your living in the orphanage. I think he has a good impression of you, but the child is a grandson. , Our blood relationship is too far away, we can't talk about everything."

"I know," Huo Yang continued to nod while smoking a cigarette, "I have a sense of proportion."

The sparks danced, and when it was almost burning to the filter, he crushed the cigarette into the box and stood up straight away.At this time Ye Jingzhi suddenly stopped him.

Huo Yang lowered his head, and saw that this man was no longer as handsome as he was when he was young, and his brows and temples were full of traces of wind and frost. The busy work and the heavy pressure of his family made him unable to enjoy the moment of peace that he should have at this age. Depressed.

"You've been smart and sensible since you were a child. Your mother and I don't worry about you...it's Ye Qian, I really can't stop worrying about you."

"Don't worry," Huo Yang said with a smile, "I will definitely come back often in the future. Anyway, he is a brother. If he is not found in the future, I will take care of him for the rest of his life."

Ye Jingzhi waved his hand, "No need for this, it's not difficult for anyone now. It's best if he can support himself, but if he can't, you can find a place...to put him in place."

"Okay." He agreed, turned and left.

In the evening Huo Yang cooked a meal, and when Lin Zhi came back, the family had to sit and talk.He stayed at Ye Lang's place for two weeks. When he first came back, he couldn't even smile naturally. He just felt that the so-called family life was trivial and boring. He stared at the TV with boredom, and he didn't know where his heart went.

Finally, at night, Huo Yang pushed open the bathroom door after taking a shower, and saw that all the lights had been turned off, all the doors were closed tightly, and there was no light in the gaps, only the distant and dim lights of Wanjia outside the window.

He stood in this silent darkness for a long time, thinking with a blank expression: "Home?"

Huo Yang walked back to his bedroom, picked up the bag that hadn't been unzipped from the bed, threw it on his back, pushed open the door without looking back, went downstairs, and got on the bicycle.

He rode on the street in the middle of the night, leaving behind the running lights, bright neon lights, all the crowds and sensual dogs and horses.Drops of water dripped from the tips of the wet hair to the collarbone, but were quickly blown away by the wind, leaving only a refreshing feeling on the skin.
