accompany me

"Actually, at that time, I wanted to call you brother."

He Yi was noncommittal, sat on the sofa and asked, "How old are you?"

"What do you mean?" Chi Yang spread out his hand and showed him the position where the middle finger and thumb are stretched farthest. "About so many?"

This time He Yi understood, glanced at him, and said calmly, "I mean age."

"Oh, I don't know," Chi Yang withdrew his hand and sat down beside him, leaning on the back of the sofa with his arms, seemingly unintentionally sticking to him, "I've been in the orphanage since I can remember, you know, then It doesn't matter how old you are in the Sanwu Orphanage..."

"What if you're older than me?"

"As long as you are older, I am not allowed to call you brother when you are older." Chi Yang smiled, "But you, are you an adult?"

"Well, after this year's birthday, I will be 19 years old." He Yi paused, and then explained, "I went to school a year later than my peers."

In fact, Chi Yang didn't know the school rules of these ordinary children, and even the junior high school entrance examination was once very distant to him.But he still answered: "Why?"

"...Because my father is a teacher in a middle school, and the term changes every three years. He hopes that I will go to school a year later, so that I can just catch up with him to teach me." He Yi raised the corner of his mouth briefly, as if thinking of something interesting , "But he taught a key high school, and my grades were not good, so I failed to get in."

"That's why you're here?" Chi Yang leaned forward again, rested his chin on He Yi's shoulder calmly, moved his hand supporting the sofa, and naturally hugged him, with a teasing tone, "Squad leader, If your words are heard by the group of diligent students who can't pass your exam, you will be hated."

When he said this, his breath hit He Yi's neck, and the latter hid uncomfortably, but he didn't refuse, but calmly changed the subject: "You seem to look down on them..."

"Well, yes," Chi Yang said casually, "After all, I was pretty smart when I was young, and I could play Sudoku even if I couldn't speak clearly."

He Yi: "?"

"I don't believe it," Chi Yang smiled, put the bracelet on his shoulder, rolled up the sleeve on the other side of his own—this was almost a disguised embrace of He Yi—and showed him the forearm A shocking scar, "Do you know how this came about, guess?"

He Yi didn't seem to notice his overly intimate behavior. Hearing this, he lowered his eyes, as if he was carefully examining the old scar that was as long as an adult's palm and intertwined with stitched scars.

Although according to Chi Yang's tone, the scar has been healed for a long time, but the hideous light-coloured scar on the young man's healthy arm still looks shocking, as if the shadow of "childhood" in Chi Yang's mouth can be glimpsed through the years.

When we met for the first time, the wolf-like child was standing in the shadows, with the same scars all over his body, with messy gauze on his head, and blood oozing faintly around the edges.

He Yi frowned slightly, raised his hand, hesitated for a long time, and then gently pressed Chi Yang's forearm to cover the scar that his palm couldn't even completely cover.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because the orphanage has limited funds, only one child will be sent to school every year," Chi Yang said, "There is a selection process before going, and I do some boring games like intelligence tests. Unfortunately, my score is a bit high... "

"I didn't expect that group of little bastards who didn't know a single word and wanted to go to school. I guess they thought that if they went to school, they would go to heaven... They had a leader who thought I was in his way, and blocked me in the yard after the selection was over. , got into a fight."

"And then..." He Yi lowered his eyes, but he already knew what he was going to say next.

"Later," Chi Yang paused, his tone relaxed, as if he was talking about something unrelated to him, "Let me explain first, it's not that I can't beat them, even ten of those people can't kill me...but they There are knives."

An ordinary fruit knife left him with a wound that would never heal for life.

"So when I was picked up later and I was able to go to school seriously," Chi Yang said, "I don't want to go to school anymore."

He Yi looked at the shocking scar, and countless scenes he had seen in nightmares suddenly appeared before his eyes, overlapping with the injured child in his imagination.

Desperate, crying, with no one to shelter.

Struggling desperately in that hell on earth.

"...You can call me brother." He said suddenly.

Chi Yang didn't hear clearly: "What?"

However, He Yi had already withdrawn the hand on his forearm, and repeated clearly but endlessly: "I said, just call me brother."

Chi Yang seemed to be taken aback for a moment, and after a few seconds, he smiled meaningfully and agreed, "Okay."

"But..." He said with a smile, "Brother, just now you asked me why I treated you so well, there is actually another explanation..."

"what?"

Chi Yang's hand was still around his shoulder, and the forearm with the scar was casually draped and placed on his leg. The lines were smooth and powerful, just like his voice, with inherent aggressiveness: "You know This kind of behavior of bringing breakfast every day, reporting the itinerary, and taking you in at home, what do they call it in the eyes of normal people?"

"It's called courtship, I'm chasing you."

He Yi listened to his words calmly, until the word "courtship" suddenly appeared, and then slightly frowned: "Then you are?"

"What do you think?" Chi Yang didn't answer, he raised his hand on his lap, stroked his hair casually, and stood up, "Go to sleep, it's almost dawn."

If He Yi looked back at him at this time, he would find that Chi Yang's eyes were surprisingly serious—the seriousness of a wolf watching its prey.

It's a pity that He Yi didn't. He just gave a soft "hmm" and said politely, "You go to bed early, too."

Chi Yang's ambiguous, ambiguous and leeway attitude is actually very exciting in social situations.If there is another person on the opposite side, maybe he has been led astray at this time, and he actively entangled him to prevent him from leaving.

But He Yi is not an ordinary person.

Even when he was hugging and whispering these words in his ear, this usually gentle boy did not show any abnormality, even as Chi Yang felt, even his heartbeat was as calm as usual.

The only emotion that can be called fluctuating is the sadness in his eyes when he stared at Chi Yang's scar for a long time.

It wasn't heartache, nor was it pity. If it had to be said, it seemed that it could only be regarded as "sorrow for the death of the rabbit".

Chi Yang turned off the light for him, turned around and went upstairs to his room.

He Yi's steady heartbeat from the beginning to the end was like a clock, ticking in his heart, and the time passed by every minute, showing a calmness that seemed to never be shaken.

It wasn't until this time that he realized that his one-point sexual talents, or his ability to control ambiguity and make people get close to him involuntarily, were actually superficial, most unbearable and cheapest things.

He can use these things to get along in the same cheap social occasions, but it is impossible to rely on them to deal with deeper feelings-for example, he has complicated thoughts about He Yi now.

He wanted to take him as his own, but he didn't dare to rush forward impulsively.

"What should I do," he said softly, looking down at the dark living room, "but that's all I can do."

After only two or three hours, He Yi was quickly awakened by the biological clock.

He didn't have the habit of staying in bed or sleeping in the cage, and he would wake up when he woke up-he hadn't dreamed in the past few hours, and he could already be called a good sleep that can't be met.

In the middle of late autumn, the dawn was already very late. It was less than six o'clock at this time, and it was still gray. The high-ceilinged living room was quiet and warm, which made people feel comfortable.He Yi sat up, roughly adjusted the collar of his shirt, put on the thin sweater that he took off before going to bed, and put the coat aside, and put it on before going out.

In the past, after waking up at Chi Yang's house, he would go back to the school dormitory to take a shower, change his clothes, and then wake up his original roommate by the way.

But today he has to stay here for a while, and go to school together when Chi Yang wakes up.

When he thought of this, he seemed to think of something interesting, the corners of his eyes slightly rolled, and he quickly regained his composure.

He turned on a light in the auxiliary hall, quickly finished washing, stopped by the kitchen to pour a glass of water, washed the glass after drinking, and put it back where it was.

After finishing this, he returned to the sofa, took the book he hadn't finished the day before, and looked down slowly under the warm light behind him.

When Chi Yang managed to tear himself off the bed and was about to go downstairs to wash while putting on his clothes in a daze, this was what he saw.

He Yi faced him sideways, sitting on the sofa with his back straight. From his angle, he could see a smooth and beautiful side face, as well as a few protruding bones on the back of his white neck.

It was already dawn, and the lights behind He Yi seemed dispensable, and a faint light fell on the neat black hair—when this man calmed down to read, even the surrounding air seemed to become calm And calm, with a bookish air blowing towards his face, it miraculously soothed his irritable air of getting up.

"Good morning," He Yi noticed him quickly, "but it's not too early, hurry up, I don't really want to be late."

Seeing that Chi Yangchu didn't respond there, he raised his head again, with a little familiar teasing in the corner of his eyes: "If I'm late, the class teacher will definitely not care, but those classmates who are 'hard-working and can't pass me' will Opinion."

"Wait for me for 10 minutes," Chi Yang casually scratched his sleepy hair, and added, "Good morning."
