Ferocious Dog of Old

Tao Huainan was like a helpless child all day long.

The helpless tone in the brother’s voice, and what he said, the brother said that he couldn’t do anything else after finishing these pictures, he said he had no choice.All these struck Tao Huainan like thunder.

What's up with him?

Why can't I make a picture?

What do you mean no move?

Half of the earphones were still on the ears and I didn't remember to take them off, and the other half was dangling below.Tao Huainan held the phone tightly with both hands, curled up, his forehead resting on the table, and every part of his body felt cold from the inside out.

Pan Xiaozhuo looked at him worriedly, and called "Huainan" twice, but Tao Huainan didn't move.

In Tao Huainan's small world, there were only his brother and Chi Cheng for a long, long time.But before Chi Cheng, his elder brother was his whole world.

The three words "Tao Xiaodong" weighed much more in Tao Huainan's heart than his own, his brother was his land and his island.

If one day Tao Xiaodong needs it, Tao Huainan can give him everything he owns.In this world, they have the same blood, which is a close connection that is always warm and fresh in fate.

The intimacy between Tao Huainan and Chi Cheng is in the soul, and the intimacy with his elder brother is destined in the flesh and blood.

For Tao Huainan, these two people can never be missing at all, any mistakes in them can easily collapse and destroy Tao Huainan's world.

Tao Huainan hadn't moved for the whole morning, and had been lying on the table like that, with his back bent in an arc, looking painful and fragile.

The teacher came over to ask him what's wrong with concern, but Tao Huainan couldn't hear anything, he seemed to have sunk into his own consciousness, and no one paid attention to him.

Pan Xiaozhuo said to the teacher: "He feels a little uncomfortable in the morning, and fell asleep, let him sleep."

The teacher was still a little worried, bent over and said a few more words, but Tao Huainan still didn't respond.

"If he wakes up later, if he still feels uncomfortable, I'll take him to the infirmary," Pan Xiaozhuo said, "Let him sleep for a while."

He knew that Tao Huainan was in good health, because he had turned around in the last class, obviously because he was in a bad mood, and he had been in a bad state during this time.

After the teacher left, Pan Xiaozhuo gave him a coat.Tao Huainan murmured something in a low voice, but Pan Xiaozhuo couldn't hear it clearly.

Tao Huainan himself didn't know what he said, he seemed to have lost his consciousness.

His body became numb again and again, Tao Huainan didn't want to move at all.The suffocation blocked his throat and he couldn't breathe.All that remained in Tao Huainan's mind were Tao Xiaodong's voice in the morning and his state when he came back that day.

Now Tao Huainan didn't want to know what happened to Xiaodong at all. He didn't want to hear it, and he didn't dare to hear it.

After school at noon, Tao Huainan was still in the same state, wearing the coat that Pan Xiaozhuo covered him, as if he had really fallen asleep.But Tao Huainan couldn't be seen from outside but was shaking all the time. Pan Xiaozhuo called him twice and patted him again.

Tao Huainan still didn't respond, there were people around who were concerned softly, Pan Xiaozhuo ran away from the crowd, and ran down to find Chi Cheng.

In fact, Tao Huainan was fine, and Pan Xiaozhuo was right.Everything is emotional. He is in good health, but his emotions are overwhelming and he doesn't want to move or talk. When people face great fear or pain, they will want to close themselves.

Tao Huainan remained in this state for the next few days, time can make him look more decent, and he won't be in such a mess like that day.When Chi Cheng hugged him, Tao Huainan would put his face against his neck, without saying a word, just quietly feel the beating of Chi Cheng's pulse.

"I called brother during the day." Chi Cheng hugged him and gently patted his head.

Tao Huainan paused for breath, but did not ask.

Chi Cheng spoke in a very calm voice, which to a certain extent made people sound more relaxed: "He said that he is really fine, promise me."

Tao Huainan still clung to him like that, without raising his head, he just said softly, "...he lied."

Chi Cheng didn't say anything else, he didn't help his brother to make a guarantee, he just rubbed Tao Huainan's hair up and down.Tao Huainan leaned against him silently, like a cold and tired thin cat.

Children have indeed grown up, able to resolve their emotions and let themselves carry many things.

Tao Xiaodong has a strict mouth and a irritating personality. If he doesn't want to talk about Tao Huainan, he won't force him.Tao Huainan pretended that he had never heard that voice, nor did he mention it.

The distance from the college entrance examination is getting closer and closer, the time is shrinking day by day, and the numbers on the wall are gradually getting smaller.

Tao Huainan's silence is obvious, many times Chi Cheng calls him and he doesn't respond.He wears earphones all day long and plays all the learning materials, pouring them into his mind non-stop.

When Brother and Dr. Tang came back, Brother took off his earphones and asked him to rest for a while.

Tao Huainan didn't speak, and was stunned for a few seconds, then smiled, and put on the earphones again.

Tao Xiaodong and Tang Suoyan looked at each other, and Tao Xiaodong said, "The study atmosphere at home seems redundant to us."

After he finished speaking, he took off Tao Huainan's earphones again, and said to him, "Stop working hard, you're tired and thin, come and play with brother."

Tao Huainan blinked quietly, and after about ten seconds, he picked up the earphones and put them on again, pulling the corner of his mouth and saying, "I'm studying."

Chi Cheng is the one who can learn the most in the family, but now Tao Huainan can learn more than him.I am often fascinated by learning, I keep clicking on the Braille pen in my hand, and I keep listening to my ears.

Chi Cheng refused to let him do this, picked him up from the chair, and took away the pen and earphones.

Tao Huainan turned around and hugged Chi Cheng, kissed him on the mouth, then went to wash in silence, and then quietly climbed onto the bed and lay on his side, and fell asleep after a while.

He began to become less clingy, doing everything by himself and not talking much.

"What's going on with Huainan recently?" Ji Nan looked at Tao Huainan who was eating by himself from a bowl on the other side, and asked puzzledly.

Chi Cheng put vegetables in Tao Huainan's bowl, and said, "It's all right."

"I feel a little depressed, did you two quarrel?" Having known each other for so long, the only thing that made Tao Huainan depressed was the conflict with Chi Cheng, which was too long ago.

"No noise." Chi Cheng said.

"Huainan? Tell me what's the matter." Ji Nan knocked on the table in front of Tao Huainan and asked him.

Tao Huainan didn't say a word, and continued to eat slowly.

"I'm talking to you." Ji Nan said "tsk" and pushed his dinner plate.

Tao Huainan pursed his lips and said in a low voice, "I have a sore throat recently, and I don't like to talk."

"Are you angry?" Ji Nan asked him.

Tao Huainan said "hmm", nodded and said, "A little bit."

Most of the time, Tao Huainan would concentrate on doing something like this, only very occasionally, when only the two of them were at home, he would silently step on Chi Cheng's body, hugging Chi Cheng in his favorite position.

Chi Cheng put down the pen in his hand and hugged him for a while.

Tao Huainan rested his chin on his shoulder, closed his eyes as if he was sleepy.

Chi Cheng told him, "Brother is in good condition, don't worry too much."

Tao Huainan gently "hmm".

Tao Xiaodong is actually in good condition, except for the first time he came back with a shaved head, every time I see him after that, I feel better and better.Although Tao Huainan couldn't see him, he could tell by touching his face that he was in good spirits.

Now every time he came back to Tao Huainan, he would touch him meticulously, from head to face, and then along his arms.

Tao Xiaodong deliberately rubbed his palms with the top of his head, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to tie your hands?"

Tao Huainan took it away in disgust, rubbed his hand on the sofa, and said, "Zha."

Tao Xiaodong pushed on him again, Tao Huainan smiled and avoided, calling Tang Suoyan: "Brother Tang, take him away."

Tang Suoyan would respond in cooperation, and came over to stop Tao Xiaodong's head with his hands and pushed him back, and stroked his bald head back and forth a few times.

Occasionally, I also disliked it after touching it. Tang Suoyan liked Tao Xiaodong's curly hair, but Tao Xiaodong shaved it bald without saying a word. This matter has always been remembered by Dr. Tang.

"Brother Tang, take care of him," Tao Huainan followed, sitting cross-legged in short-sleeved shorts, pointing at Tao Xiaodong, "he's the most annoying."

The two brothers always came back recently, and they often stayed directly. They would only go back unless Brother Tang had to go to the hospital very early the next day.

Tao Huainan still doesn't speak sometimes, but most of the time he looks normal, and he goes to their room to stay for a while before going to bed every day.

In this family, everyone is good at counting, and everyone has something in their hearts, but no one says it.

Brother Tang was taking a bath, and Tao Huainan was lying beside his brother, holding his arm.Tao Xiaodong rubbed the offset print on his pajamas, closed his eyes and said, "Did you change the bath fluid?"

"No, it's still the original." Tao Huainan leaned on him and said.

"Then why didn't I smell it?" Tao Xiaodong sniffed, "It doesn't smell like milk."

"Nonsense, I haven't washed it yet." Tao Huainan chuckled twice, "Brother Ku, you wash it, you wash it, brother Tang, it's not my turn yet."

"I said, what if you can't smell it?" Tao Xiaodong also smiled, and touched Tao Huainan's face with his backhand, "I'll know it's you when I smell it."

"Then I won't change it anyway, you all like it," Tao Huainan said again after a few seconds, "but I don't have any of myself now, Brother Ku said I don't have the smell of mutton anymore, and I don't even drink milk anymore."

Tao Xiaodong laughed: "How can you never grow up? Always be a milk dumpling?"

"That's okay." Tao Huainan's closed eyes, the eyelashes fluttered slightly, like frightened little wings.He imitated the tone of his childhood, and said with a chuckle, "It's not good if you don't grow up?"

Tao Xiaodong was amused by his tone, and pinched his face again.

"What are you laughing at?" Tang Suoyan came back in his pajamas, sat down casually by the bed, looked at the two brothers who were sticking together, and said, "Look closely, you two really look alike."

"I'm not as good-looking as him, but he looks like my mother." Tao Xiaodong said.

"The eyes and nose are similar," Tang Suoyan looked at the two of them, and said after a while, "I didn't look as good as Xiao Nan, and it's over when I shave my hair."

"Did you see Brother Tang holding more grudges?" Tao Xiaodong patted Tao Huainan's stomach, and said to him, "Brother Tang doesn't want to look at me even if his hair is shaved, because he thinks I'm ugly."

"Is that ugly?" Tao Huainan hurriedly said, "You should."

Tao Huainan didn't ask him why he suddenly shaved his head, he didn't ask anything.Every day he stayed with his two elder brothers for a while, and then went back to learn to sleep with Chi Cheng.

Chi Cheng took out the clothes they were going to wear tomorrow from the closet and put them aside, while Tao Huainan came out of the shower smelling like milk all over his body.Chi Cheng conveniently wiped off the wet drops on his face.

Tao Huainan hugged him and let him smell himself.

Chi Cheng tilted his neck back: "Where is the water rubbing against your head?"

Tao Huainan whispered, "Let you smell it."

Chi Cheng then lowered his head and sniffed his neck, saying, "It's very fragrant."

Tao Huainan turned around and left with a head full of water, Chi Cheng asked him, "What are you doing?"

Tao Huainan lowered his head and said slowly while walking, "I'll let my brother smell me."
