The system is forcing me to do it every day

For a whole month, the atmosphere at home was very strange. Apart from the necessary communication, Xi Shangming did not take the initiative to speak. The cold aura, according to the character of the original owner, did not dare to provoke him. Xi Ran could only retreat into the room and play games silently. .

Until the end of the year, it's time to clean up.

According to the division of labor on the small blackboard, the two each did their own work.After Xi Ran finished cleaning his room, when he was about to wipe the window with a rag, he saw Xi Shangming standing in the corner, poking something with the broom in his hand.

From his slightly ugly face, Xi Ran probably guessed that it was the cockroach that Xi Shangming disliked so much. In the past, once it appeared, he would ask Xi Ran to deal with it, but now the two are in a cold war (?), in order to keep a distance, they He didn't say anything, just poked around with a broom.

Xi Ran walked over and quickly and quietly helped to clean it up. He turned his head and walked away without saying a word from the beginning to the end.Xi Shangming wanted to say thank you but it was too late.

Just at this time, the landline in the living room rang, Xi Ran walked over to pick it up, nodded and said a few words, then turned around and handed the microphone to Xi Shangming.

It was Xi's father and Xi's mother's phone call. They were supposed to be back the day after tomorrow, but they couldn't come back due to work, so they had to book a plane for the night of the third day of junior high school. They told the two brothers to have a good New Year.

Xi Ran sat on the sofa, a little distracted.Although this is just a plane to leave at any time, and it's not my parents, but I really haven't seen my family for a long time, and I feel that people are getting old after decades.Inexplicably feeling bored, he stared blankly at the door, like an abandoned puppy, pitiful.

Xi Shangming hung up the phone and turned around to see such a scene, thinking that his younger brother was lost and lonely because his parents could not celebrate the New Year together, he couldn't help sighing low, feeling a little distressed.He subconsciously suggested that the two of them make dumplings together.

Xi Ran immediately smiled and nodded in agreement, and the previous embarrassing discord seemed to disappear in this instant.The emotions in Xi Shangming's heart are a bit complicated, and he can't explain clearly.

The two brothers sat on the sofa, ate together, and watched the Spring Festival Gala while complaining. This year has been flat and warm.Very real feeling.

As for the incident of getting drunk, Xi Ran would think it was nothing in the past. After all, it was in a state of unconsciousness, so there was no need to dig into the corners.But in fact, for some reason, since that time, as long as he and Xi Shangming looked at each other, he felt uncomfortable all over his body. Deliberately dodge and get along like two strangers.

Even when walking in the same direction and bumping into each other sometimes, they stop politely, look at each other, and let the other party go first.Therefore, from time to time, the two brothers stopped at the kitchen door, standing there in a daze.

It wasn't until the night of the third day of the lunar new year that Xi's parents came back that the deadlock was broken.

A family gathering, of course, cannot do without a reunion dinner.At the dinner table, Xi Ran behaved like a young son who hadn't seen his parents for a long time, and kept chatting with his parents like a chatterbox, almost completely forgetting the existence of Xi Shangming.

After a while, Xi's mother, like most parents, mentioned a topic that must be had during the Chinese New Year.She smiled and said: "Shang Ming, you are almost thirty, even if you are not married, you should have someone to talk to, right? Your Aunt Qin's daughter remember? You used to play together when you were young, let's meet up try?"

As a mother, she is of course aware of her son's problems. On the surface, she looks like an elite person, but she relies on a small book when dealing with people and dealing with things, and she is as rigid as a robot to execute orders.She had to worry about her son getting married, otherwise she might not be able to hold her grandson for the rest of her life!

But Xi Shangming's first reaction was to turn his head to look at Xi Ran, even he himself didn't know why.

Xi Shangming shook his head: "No rush."

Xi's mother couldn't persuade him, so she started to help, elbowed her husband next to her, and gave Xi Ran a wink.

Father Xi pretended to have a sad face: "Just talk about it, or your mother won't let me sleep again tonight."

Xi Ran smiled, and said along the way: "Since my mother is so sure about her, brother, you can go and see her, anyway, you won't suffer any disadvantages. Mom won't force the marriage, right?"

Everyone was nodding, only Xi Shangming pursed his lips, feeling a little irritated inexplicably.

Xi Mu took it as a settled matter.

At this time, Xi Ran mentioned another matter, "Mom, I will live on campus next semester."

Before Xi's mother could respond, Xi Shangming frowned first, his indifferent expression changed obviously, and he said in a deep voice, "No!"

That resolute and undeniable tone stunned the other three people at the table.

Xi Ran explained: "I'm about to enter my third year of high school, and it's more convenient to live on campus."

Xi Mu: "Indeed."

Xi Shangming's face was indifferent, "No need, my home is very close to the school, and the school's accommodation conditions are not good."

"But……"

"That's it, the environment at home is better."

He didn't give Xi Ran a chance to refute at all.

Xi Ran dropped his chopsticks with a slap, and with a stern face that fit the image of a rebellious child, he flung his sleeves and left angrily. He ran upstairs halfway through the meal, leaving only one sentence: "Brother, I hate you!"

Xi Shangming watched the young man's slender and slender back until it disappeared around the corner. He turned his face, picked up his chopsticks and continued to eat calmly, his lowered eyelashes blocked his emotions.

Xi's mother looked at it, opened her mouth, she was a little speechless, and felt a little strange in her heart.

Upstairs, as soon as Xi Ran stepped into the room, the feigned anger on his face disappeared instantly, but his shoulders drooped and he looked very tired.

System: "Why do you live on campus? Are you far away from the male lead, are you not afraid that he will be hooked away by the female lead again?"

"I should be afraid that I will be seduced first, okay..." Xi Ran sighed, pulling his hair irritably. Could it be that gays who have just turned out can't control themselves when they see a man? !Why do I feel that the hero is getting more and more attractive? !

The system said quietly: "Isn't this very good..."

Xi Ran: "Get out!"

Two days later, Xi's mother arranged a blind date for the hero, asking him to meet Aunt Qin's daughter.

When Xi Shangming was about to go out, Xi Ran was nestling on the sofa, holding a large bag of potato chips in his hand, staring at the TV very intently, as if a flower was growing on it.He didn't even look at Xi Shangming who was being instructed by Xi's mother in various ways.

Xi Shangming squinted at him for a few seconds, then curled his lips perfectly towards his mother, repeated what she said just now, turned around and set off for the designated location.

Xi Ran had a great time staying at home. Unlike Xi's mother's worrying and muttering, he didn't seem to care about his brother's dating situation at all. Until later, when his classmates came to play with him, he suddenly received a call from Xi Shangming. phone.

At that time, he happened to win a round with his classmates, and answered the phone cheerfully, telling his defeated opponents not to howl and make noise.

On the other end, Xi Shangming seemed to pause for a moment before asking, "Who is next to you?"

"Oh, my classmate."

"Xi Ran, you..."

Before he finished speaking, Xi Ran seemed to interrupt him impatiently, and instead teased: "Brother, is Aunt Qin's daughter beautiful? You have to concentrate, or you will see how mom treats you when you come back." .”

After waiting for a few seconds, I didn't hear a reply, and then there was a beep, and the other party actually hung up the phone!

Xi Ran couldn't help curling his lips.

On the other side, Xi Shangming fell into an indescribable irritability, tightly holding the glass in his hand, his joints turning white.Obviously, my current situation is not quite right, something very subtle in my heart is slowly fermenting, and it seems like a catalyst has been added during this period.Moreover, it all revolves around the younger brother, it's almost like...

His face changed slightly, he hurriedly said goodbye to the woman across from him, turned around and rushed home.

The moment he opened the door, he gasped for breath, the hand holding the key trembled uncontrollably, and the expression on his face was even more complicated and unpredictable.He stood stiffly at the entrance for a while, and finally stepped out and walked in.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I stepped into the living room, I saw such a dazzling scene.

Xi Ran was lying on the ground, a tall boy was pressing on him, the hem of his clothes was lifted up, revealing a section of white waist skin, Xi Ran's face was flushed, and his eyes were blurred.

Xi Shangming's eyes suddenly darkened, his entire face was frighteningly dark, and he was raging with anger.Stepping forward with two big strides, he abruptly tore the boy who was on top of him aside and pulled Xi Ran into his arms. He stared fiercely at the boy, "What are you doing?!"

The boy was rubbing his elbows and was grinning. When he looked up, he saw Xi Shangming's scary eyes and waved his hands quickly, "Accident! It was pure accident! I didn't do anything!"

Then there is an explanation.

In fact, this boy brought back a few boxes of wine chocolates from abroad, intending to give them to the girl he likes, so he wanted to test the waters with Xi Ran first.Of course, he didn't explain it at the beginning, he just said that he brought back special products from abroad.

Xi Ran glanced at him suspiciously, looked around vigilantly, and found nothing wrong, so he picked one up and put it in his mouth.Unexpectedly, the taste is amazing. When you bite down, the chocolate bursts out in your mouth, and the shocking sense of bewilderment, as well as the rich taste produced by the harmonious blend of chocolate and wine, are simply too unforgettable. .He couldn't help but didn't stop eating seven or eight. The classmates felt a little distressed when they saw it. Every bite was RMB.

It's not without reason that the classmates would choose Xi Ran to try, because he can't drink very well...and it's vodka bonbons.

Unexpected and reasonable, Xi Ran started to feel dizzy, and when he turned to get water to drink, he staggered and almost fell to the ground.The classmate hurried over to help him, but unexpectedly, he was also brought down by Xi Ran, which created such a dramatic scene just now.

Xi Ran shrank into Xi Shangming's arms, his rosy lips murmured his thirst, and exhaled the sweet smell of chocolate and alcohol.

Xi Shangming frowned tightly, and said coldly to the boy: "It's getting late, and your parents will be worried if you don't go back."

The implication is that you should fuck off.

The boy twitched his eyebrows, muttered to his younger brother speechlessly, and turned to leave.

But he couldn't imagine what would happen next.
