Mint-Stained Shirt

At first, Mingshu never thought of letting his brother know his thoughts so early.

He has been brewing for more than half of high school by himself, and he has already figured out what he wants. He just likes Xiao Yu'an, who is serious and possessive.

It's love, not brotherhood, or anything else.

A group of boys in their dormitory often tell nasty jokes during bedtime meetings. Some of them can't concentrate and run to the bathroom while talking.

He also ran, and when he did that, Xiao Yu'an was on his mind.

Xiao Yu'an was no longer his brother, but his boyfriend.

But he wasn't ready to confess.

This trip to the capital was mainly because he missed his brother, and he was happy to stay with him and do nothing else.

He knows his brother too well, and he will be promoted to the third grade soon. If he dares to confess, his brother will definitely reject him.

The note of no puppy love is still in my brother's place. In such a critical year, it's strange that my brother can date someone else.

He was not in a hurry, and for a while he felt that his brother was his anyway, and when he became a police student in the future, could his brother not agree to him?After a while, he felt that his brother might not have that kind of interest in him. He didn't even know whether his brother liked men or women.

Ming Shu had the idea of ​​spending a peaceful summer vacation with his brother, and thought he had hidden his thoughts, but he didn't know that when a person likes another person, the slightest look in the eyes, the most easily overlooked gesture, is also the most important thing. A straightforward play.

Xiao Yuan saw it.

Mingshu has been clinging to him since he was a child, and if he can share a bed with him, he will never sleep in another bed, and his sleeping appearance is not honest, he has to cling to him before falling asleep, and there are more movements after falling asleep, hugging and rubbing It's not a big deal, sometimes he even has difficulty breathing when he wakes up, and it's no surprise that Mingshu is lying on his chest.

But this time, Mingshu's stickiness is different from before.

The team is on holiday, and it's very hot outside, so it's okay to go out for dinner, but walking in the sun at noon really affects your appetite.So he took Mingshu to the nearby vegetable market every morning, bought the vegetables before the sun was so strong, and ate them at home at noon.

Mingshu is like a young master in Xiao's house. He hasn't done any housework. He is good at cooking noodles and scrambled egg rice. He is busy in the kitchen, and Mingshu can't even make a move, so he can only watch from the sidelines.

It didn't take long for him to stick to him, hugging him from behind, sometimes resting his forehead on the back of his neck, and sometimes resting his chin on his shoulder with great effort.

There are many intimate gestures, some can be done between brothers, and some can only be done between lovers.

When Mingshu hugged him from behind for the first time, he felt something was wrong, so he pushed back and pushed Mingshu away.

Mingshu has a bit of sloppy energy, in the past Mingshu insisted on clinging to him, even if he pushed him away, he would quickly stick back.

But not that time.

Mingshu seemed to understand that he shouldn't do that, so he backed away obediently, and took a tomato to the sink to peel it.

But two days later, Mingshu did the same thing again.

It's like knowing it shouldn't be, but can't help it.

In addition, Mingshu also likes to let him help dry his hair after taking a shower, and lie on his lap while watching TV at night, whenever he mentions a name that Mingshu has never heard of - a teammate, a classmate, or just a convenience store My boss—Mingshu would inquire about this person like checking his household registration.

Thinking about it carefully, at Mingshu's age, it's not surprising that he likes anyone.

But Xiao Yu'an had a hard time accepting that he might become the object of admiration.

He has always regarded Mingshu as his younger brother.Forgiveness is his responsibility, unlike anyone else who tries to get close to him.

He is very sensitive to other people's affection, and he has noticed almost all the people who are interested in him before confessing.

But if others didn't say it clearly, he would pretend not to know, just like the part with the senior flower back then.

Mingshu is no one else.

Mingshu had no idea that those unbearable little movements had been noticed by his brother.

He asked his brother to help blow his hair, and his brother blew it for him.He wanted to lie on his brother's lap, but he didn't want to get up, and his brother didn't throw him down.When he heard a strange name appearing next to his brother, he felt like facing a formidable enemy. He asked the bottom line, and his brother said that he was lenient, but he couldn't hold him back, so he told him everything.

He likes to hug his brother from behind, and his brother pushed him a few times, but he didn't order him not to hug him.

In the evening, it rained for the first time after he came to the capital. It was still a heavy rain, and it was windy and windy. My brother went to the balcony to collect his clothes, and stood by the railing to watch the rain after finishing.

The wind blows sideways and doesn't pour water into it, so they're fine standing on the balcony.

Brother is wearing a black vest, camouflage home pants, and the blue bull shoes that he should have worn on his feet.He felt itchy in his heart when he saw it, and originally thought of standing with his brother to see if the wind and rain were coming, but when he got closer, he almost instinctively opened his arms and wrapped them around his waist.

They went to the supermarket together the day before yesterday and changed to a mint-flavored body wash. Now my brother has a very light mint fragrance, which is similar to the mint ice cream I ate when I was a child.

He sniffed greedily and carefully, and was about to put his forehead on the back of his brother's neck when his hand was pulled away.

Brother turned to look at him, frowning slightly, his eyes were a little more serious than usual.

His heartbeat suddenly accelerated, and his eardrums swelled and rumbled.

I don't know if it's the thunder in the sky, or the joy and anxiety in my chest.

The sideways wind suddenly deflected, and the rain drifted into the balcony, cooling his face.

He suddenly woke up, but not too much, he panicked, but he didn't understand what he was panicking about.

When their eyes met, he vaguely realized that brother seemed to know everything.

"Brother..." He called softly, and subconsciously stretched out his hand to grab Brother's wrist.

He is a little stiff now, his normally flexible body seems to be frozen, he can move, but he moves like a robot.

Xiao Yuan took all of Mingshu's body movements into his eyes, and sighed secretly.

In the rain and fog, a bolt of lightning struck, and white light flickered in the clouds.

Mingshu subconsciously shrugged his shoulders, Xiao Yuan closed the window, left the balcony, and turned around: "Don't stand there, come in."

Mingshu's throat was dry.He felt that something was about to happen, and what brother was going to tell him.He seemed to know what it was, but avoided thinking about it.

"Come here." Xiao Yuan sat on the sofa, pointed his chin to the seat diagonally opposite, "Sit there."

Mingshu was restless, with his back straightened, not touching the back of the sofa.

"Brother, I want to ask you a few questions." It was the first time for Xiao Yuan to face this situation, and it was no easier than Mingshu.If it were someone else, he wouldn't make it clear at all, but Mingshu is not someone else.

Mingshu clenches his hands into fists and presses them on his knees. His palms are sweaty and uncomfortable, "Brother, don't be so serious...you scare me."

He was indeed frightened, but he was not afraid of that kind of fright, it was unexpected, he was not ready yet.

The wind has completely changed from blowing sideways to pouring into the house. Fortunately, all the clothes have been put away, only the curtains by the sliding door have been blown away, like the exaggerated hem of a long skirt.

Xiao Yu'an hesitated for a while, but still felt that if there was a problem, he should solve it in time, and said in a calm voice, "What's on your mind."

Mingshu's mind buzzed, his eyes widened.

They just looked at each other, and neither of them deliberately looked away.

Mingshu opened his mouth several times, and the young man tensed his neck several times angrily, and finally said: "Brother, you, you can see it?"

After a while, Xiao Yuan nodded.

Mingshu felt as if a piece of cotton was stuck in his chest.

The cotton was originally pressed tightly, but now the thing pressing the cotton suddenly disappeared, and the cotton swelled without hindrance, which made him a little uncomfortable.

Still able to breathe, no pain.

But he just felt uncomfortable and itchy.

He wanted to pull the cotton out, but he couldn't do it because of his chest.

He didn't plan his speech, didn't think about what to do if he was rejected, bro...why did he catch him off guard?

Isn't brother the one who loves him the most?

How can I do this this time...

The young man's secret thoughts were discovered and dug out.All romance is not romantic anymore.The confession becomes an interrogation.

He's not happy, doesn't want to be like this.

He felt wronged.

This is not what Xiao Yuan envisioned.

From childhood to adulthood, he has disciplined Mingshu countless times. Even though he and Mingshu have been separated by two places in the past five years, and the time to see each other is much less than when he was a child, he will not be left behind when he should be in charge, and he will not feel that there is anything embarrassing to say. place.

But this time is different.

From the moment he spoke the first sentence, he was aware of the loss of control.Mingshu's discipline has always been the protagonist, but this time he is also involved.

And once anything is related to feelings, it cannot be decided by reason.

He was rarely confused about disciplining Mingshu.

After Mingshu's brief panic, grievance and unwillingness prevailed, and the hidden youthfulness, embarrassment, and anxiety about the unknown all disappeared.

What am I afraid of?He thought almost recklessly, I like a person who grew up with me, he is the best, treats me best, he is the best person in the world.

I like him, I love him, why should I be ashamed?

What can't I say?

"Brother!" Mingshu stood up, impulsive, fearless, naive...everything is fine, those emotions that only teenagers have washed over him, he seemed to be ignited, or was ignited by his brother's questioning today.

He had to do something, say something, or he would go mad.

Xiao Yuan watched the young man approaching him, his cheeks were flushed, his chest heaved rapidly under the white T-shirt, his bright eyes were full of enthusiasm that he had never seen before, like a fire that exploded in an instant.

He frowned casually.

Ming Shu stood in front of Xiao Yu'an, his vision was blurred by his surging heart.

"You ask me what's on my mind, I..." He couldn't control the trembling in his voice, he didn't even understand what he was talking about, he spit out the words mechanically, he didn't even have time to pretend, it was all because he didn't Carved, original thoughts, "I don't want to be your younger brother, I don't want to be your tail, and I don't want you to be an older brother. I, I have grown up, I will be 18 soon, just, just a Men. We are men, men don’t need an older brother, I don’t want an older brother, I want a boyfriend.”

"Brother..." Mingshu shook his head suddenly, and lamely called the most familiar name but hardly used it, "Xiao Yu'an."

"I like you, Xiao Yu'an."

"I want to date you. I want to be your boyfriend."
