Ferocious Dog of Old

Tao Huainan's half-wet hair was pushed onto the bed of the two brothers, from the end of the bed to the quilt of the two brothers, and threw himself between them.

The two of them were going to sleep, but he came again.

Tang Suoyan turned on the light, wanting to laugh a little.

Tao Huainan was smiling, lying between them.On the left is Brother Tang, and on the right is Brother Qin.

"What's the matter, shall we three sleep tonight?" Tao Xiaodong held Tao Huainan into his arms, rubbed his nose against his hair and wet his face.

"That's not impossible," Tang Suoyan said, "Xiao Nan is so thin and doesn't take up space."

Tao Huainan didn't speak, just laughed.Tao Xiaodong lay with his arms around him for a while, he was not sleepy anyway, so they stayed together, and Tang Suoyan told them what happened in the hospital.Later Chi Cheng came to call, knocked on the door of the station, and called "Tao Huainan".

Tao Huainan closed his eyes and responded, "I'm asleep."

Chi Cheng had no choice but to walk in and walk around to his brother, passed him and sat up Tao Huainan with his armpit, and carried him away.

Tao Huainan hung on Chi Cheng's body and was supported by him, raised his arms towards the two brothers, signaling to go to sleep.

Tang Suoyan smiled and said, "Good night."

Chi Cheng said "good night" and closed the door behind them.

This kind of life is also very good, even though it is only a short period of peace, it can make people feel that the years are long under the surface peace.

But Tao Huainan knew very well that this was not true.

Once Tao Huainan was taken to the hospital by Brother Tang for an examination on a Sunday, but Chi Cheng and Brother didn't even follow him.Chi Cheng said he wanted to study at home, and his brother said he wanted to hold a video conference.

Tao Huainan said "Oh yes", and was taken to the hospital by Tang Suoyan's hand.

He was no longer afraid of inspections, even if Chi Cheng was not by his side now, Tao Huainan was no longer afraid of those cold instruments.

Brother Tang is very gentle, he never seems to panic, and is calm at all times.There are not many such people, perhaps because they are too powerful, and because of their calmness, people around them will feel that everything is okay, and they are not so desperate.

On the way back, Tao Huainan asked him, "Does my brother get angry a lot, Brother Tang?"

Tang Suoyan thought for a while and replied with a smile, "Not much."

"He's fine." Tao Huainan held his seat belt and acted honestly. "If he's angry, ask him to apologize to you. He's a very reasonable person."

Tang Suoyan was two years older than Tao Xiaodong, and Tao Huainan was nearly 20 years younger than him. Normally, they should have been separated by a generation.Now that Tao Huainan is pretending to be old-fashioned and telling him these things, Tang Suoyan only thinks it is very cute. He glanced sideways and said, "I'll tell you when I'm angry, and you help me deal with him."

"No, as long as you tell him that you are angry, he will start to wonder if he did something wrong." Tao Huainan spoke slowly, thinking of Tao Xiaodong, "He won't be stubborn and not apologize, he will not apologize in front of his family. Don't lose face."

He spoke seriously, Tang Suoyan said "OK" and asked again: "Why do you say this, Xiao Nan?"

Tao Huainan lowered his head, and said after a while: "Xiaodong cares about you very much, and I like you too. Let's stay together, Brother Tang. We are both stubborn. I'm afraid that one day he will make you angry and leave you. You'll all be sad then."

When the light turned red, Tang Suoyan stopped the car, raised his hand to touch Tao Huainan's head, and said to him, "No way."

Tao Huainan then smiled, nodded and said, "That's great."

Tao Huainan's state has been like this during this time, with ups and downs, sometimes he would say a lot of words, even inconsequential words, and sometimes he shut up and didn't say anything, ignoring anyone who said it.

Children before the college entrance examination are under a lot of pressure. After closing the door at night, Tao Xiaodong told Tang Suoyan: "But we can finish the exam quickly. Why are they both so motivated? It makes me very scared."

"Soon." Tang Suoyan took away the mobile phone from Tao Xiaodong's hand, preventing him from looking at it, and put his hands on Tao Xiaodong's eyes to force him to close them.

Tao Xiaodong was obedient, he lay down on the bed when his phone was taken away, and said, "I always think he's a bit weird."

Tang Suoyan said "Yes", pressed the acupuncture points around Tao Xiaodong's eyes, and said in a low voice while rubbing, "Pay more attention to his emotions."

"It is said that puberty has passed," Tao Xiaodong said, "They are all adults."

It's impossible for the elder brother not to see that something is wrong with Tao Huainan recently, but there is nothing to say about it. Before the college entrance examination, Tao Xiaodong just wanted to let the two of them finish the exam. It didn't take long, and it passed with his eyes closed.

Tang Suoyan tapped his closed eyes lightly with his fingers, and asked, "Do you think he might have guessed it?"

"I don't know, and he didn't ask." Tao Xiaodong sighed, and said, "Probably not, he didn't think of this."

Not to mention Tao Huainan, Tao Xiaodong himself never thought that there might be something wrong with his eyes.I don't know if I didn't think about it on purpose, or my brain automatically blocked the guesses about it, in short, I didn't think about it once.

So much so that it was unacceptable when it actually happened.

For these candidates in the third year of high school, the college entrance examination is a knife hanging over their heads, but it is also a kind of relief.

Day and night sea battles with questions, endless classes in the dark, when the college entrance examination is really over, no matter how well the exam is, these will also pass.

In fact, the two candidates in their family have no difference in grades, and they have never made any demands on them.Tao Xiaodong has always been free-ranging and gave them absolute freedom. He never even mentioned these things, and he mentioned them a few times just to let them not feel pressured and take the test casually.

There is no need to worry about Chicheng's grades, let alone Tao Huainan. Tao Xiaodong never thought that his grades are so good now.At first, what made him go to school was not to be out of touch with his peers, and to finish school no matter what. Now that his grades are estimated to be no problem, it is enough to go to their local school.

Tao Xiaodong didn't give them any tension in the college entrance examination, but the depression in the family is still strong, and I don't know where it came from.

With more than ten days before the college entrance examination, Tao Huainan began to be closed again.

He wears headphones and writes with a Braille pen all day long, leaving deep marks on his fingers and his eyes are red.

After school, Pan Xiaozhuo took him downstairs, Tao Huainan waved to him, Pan Xiaozhuo frowned and gave him a look, then left.Chi Cheng took Tao Huainan's hand and asked him, "Why are your eyes so red?"

Tao Huainan didn't answer, Chi Cheng squeezed his hand, and Tao Huainan pointed to the bluetooth headset he was wearing with the other finger.

"You still wear it in class?" Chi Cheng took the earphones out of Tao Huainan's hands, and told him, "You need to rest your ears, don't wear them all the time."

Tao Huainan still didn't speak, maybe he was too tired from studying, even his lips were a little pale.

Chi Cheng frowned and looked at him, Tao Huainan remained silent, stubbornly took the earphones from Chi Cheng's hand, and stuffed them into his ears again.

Chi Cheng's face completely sank, and he called out "Tao Huainan".

Tao Huainan didn't answer, he lowered his head and shut himself up again.

In the past two years, Tao Huainan has been softer than before, and he almost said what Chi Cheng said. In the same way, Chi Cheng's personality has become much calmer in the past two years, and his temper is not so urgent.

But it doesn't mean that Chi Cheng loses his temper. When Tao Huainan is really angry, Chi Cheng still gets angry.

For example, today Tao Huainan didn't know which thread was wrong, he seemed to be deliberately fighting with others, his jaw was tense and his mouth was tightly shut, at most he said impatiently, "I want to wait by myself. Son, I don't want to talk."

The earphones are not allowed to be taken off, and the English listening comprehension is kept in it, and they are not even taken off when eating.Tell him he just can't hear, let him do nothing.

He kept stepping back and forth on Chi Cheng's fire and wire, Chi Cheng's expression was already ugly, but he still didn't say anything about him.

In the end, he just took off his earphones and threw them into the drawer. Tao Huainan wanted to get them again, but Chi Cheng pushed the drawer back abruptly.Tao Huainan shrank his hands from the shock, stood there with his shoulders down for a while, and then said, "Then I'll take a shower and go to bed."

Chi Cheng looked at him with a cold face, watching Tao Huainan go to the bathroom in silence.

Tao Huainan took a bath for nearly half an hour, and when he came out again, his eyes were red and his lips were whiter.

Chi Cheng sat on the chair and leaned against the back of the chair, with his wristband on his chest, staring at him fiercely.But when Tao Huainan touched the door and walked back slowly, the expression on his face was really sad.

Knocked his hip on the corner of the table, Tao Huainan had never been able to knock on such a small place in the house, especially this was their room.This is also the reason why my brother hasn't changed houses for them until now, because Tao Huainan is so familiar with this place that even if he turns around ten times, he can avoid all obstacles and reach the destination directly.

When walking past Tao Huainan, Chi Cheng stretched out his hand and pulled Tao Huainan onto his lap.

"Have you lost your soul?"

Tao Huainan sat in a daze, and after a while gently raised his hand, wrapping his arms around Chi Cheng's neck.

Chi Cheng was still angry, so he stroked Tao Huainan's head and neck heavily.Tao Huainan said "I'm sorry" in his direction.

Chi Cheng said "hmm".

Tao Huainan leaned over and put his face on Chi Cheng's shoulder.Tao Huainan opened his eyes, stared blankly, and said hoarsely, "... I'm sorry, little brother."

"It's okay." Chi Cheng's voice was firm, and he squeezed his neck.

Occasionally, the number of convulsions like this became more and more frequent. As the college entrance examination approached, Tao Huainan's condition became more and more unstable.The two elder brothers are moderate, just like the other parents, and during this period of time they will be responsive to their requests, so they will only persuade Tao Huainan not to be forceful.

Only Chi Cheng is not, Tao Huainan is still cold-faced when he is disobedient, what should he do.Chi Cheng is more used to other aspects than anyone else, but Chi Cheng has never been used to this aspect, and this is not in his temper.If Tao Huainan is disobedient, Chi Cheng will definitely punish him.

But in the end it's not the same as before.Chi Cheng used to get angry for a long time, but now as long as Tao Huainan softens up and speaks, Chi Cheng will not be angry with him anymore.

Tao Huainan coaxed Chi Cheng for two years, besides not wanting to make him unhappy, he also made up for Chi Cheng's "pain" two years ago.Chi Cheng is like a pebble wrapped in clam meat, no matter how sharp he is, it is soft everywhere.

After a long time, Chi Cheng also does not want to be cold-faced to him anymore from the bottom of his heart, he is reluctant.

At night, Tao Huainan leaned against Chi Cheng, listening to his heartbeat against his heart.

He covered one of his ears, shutting himself in the sound of Chi Cheng's heartbeat.Chi Cheng later took his hand away, and covered it for him himself.

The rhythmic and steady heartbeat made Tao Huainan almost obsessed.

He felt Chi Cheng's breath, and wanted to lock himself in Chi Cheng's beating heart.

A drop of tear fell from the corner of Tao Huainan's eye, and it soaked into the cloth around Chi Cheng's heart, leaving a blurry circle of water.
