you rely on me to like you

Pu Jin was his roommate in high school. During those three years, for Zhong Haochen, the happiest thing was discussing studies with Pu Jin and enjoying the time alone with him.

Pu Jin was a little shorter than him, but she often joked, suddenly picked him up in front of the public, lifted his feet off the ground, and the moment his body hung in the air, Zhong Haochen's heart also trembled.

The other party didn't seem to know that he liked boys, and he didn't plan to tell it.

But who knows, on the night when the college entrance examination ended, Pu Jin circled him in a corner, raised her chin and stared straight into his eyes, with a smile on her lips:

"I like you the way I want to kiss you."

Before the words finished, Zhong Haochen had no time to react, his lips were already covered by Pu Jin.

In an instant, the world spun, the hot wind in the ear disappeared, and a sweet feeling of heart-cooling went straight to the mind, flowing along the blood to the bottom of the heart, and took root.

From then on, Zhong Haochen regarded Pu Jin as the most important person in his life besides grandma.

Throughout the summer vacation, Pu Jin used the excuse to stay in Zhong Haochen's hometown in the suburbs, a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters. Apart from the singing and screaming of cicadas, there were two more smiling faces of young and sunny boys.

However, everything ended so suddenly and so quickly. Pu Jin left City C and his world before the end of the summer vacation.

He searched everywhere like crazy, but finally received a letter left by the other party:

"I still prefer girls!

The days with you are very happy, thank you! "

In just 23 words, Zhong Haochen read it over and over again. When the tears flowed down, he crushed the letter paper and threw it into the creek in the suburbs.

The relationship that ended without a disease, then left.

"Cute, you are so cute!"

Suddenly, a soft and joyful voice came from the ground.

Zhong Haochen who was caught in the memory: "..."

"It's too cute."

Here it is again, this time, Chi Xu's voice has a hint of pampering.

Zhong Haochen sneered helplessly:

"You don't need to praise me if you want to talk. What's more, only women can say "cute", and men have to use "so handsome"."

The voice has not fallen,

"Tiaotiao, you are too cute! You are the most beautiful kitty I have ever seen, come, my brother hugs you." Chi Xu's lazy voice was full of expectation.

Zhong Haochen: "?????"

"Jump"?

Turning on the bedside lamp, Zhong Haochen found that Chi Xu, who was lying obediently on the ground, was sleeping on his back, his hands were scrambling in the air, and the quilt was scattered beside him, perfectly avoiding his body parts, covering the floor. everywhere but him.

Zhong Haochen: "..."

How old are you, talking in your sleep and kicking the quilt?

I wanted to turn off the lights and go to sleep, but after thinking about it, I finally couldn't bear it.

After getting out of bed and walking to the floor, Zhong Haochen helped Chi Xu cover the quilt.

Unexpectedly, when she turned around and was about to go back to the bed, her right leg was suddenly hugged.

"Ah, I caught you, come, brother hugs you to sleep."

Zhong Haochen sighed, and when he looked down, Chi Xu was holding his calf with his eyes closed, trying to hug him into his arms.

Chi Xu muttered:

"Tiaotiao, why are you so hard? Did my mother try to wring you dry after bathing you?"

Zhong Haochen: "..."

He remembered, "Tiaotiao", it seemed to be the name of the cat raised by Chi Xu's family.

Suddenly, Zhong Haochen felt a little sympathetic, such an operation of being wrung dry in the shower...

Looking at it this way, his family is really happy.

Looking down at Chi Xu with a satisfied yet disgusted face, he must have regarded his calf as a hard kitten's body.

Zhong Haochen felt that the matter of his cat being twisted was not so strange anymore.

The family is not very reliable!

When he woke up the next day, Chi Xu smelled the short sleeves on his body that smelt of alcohol. Thinking about his cash, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and plan to go back to school just like that.

"Why don't you wear this first." Zhong Haochen handed over the T-shirt he used as pajamas last night.

"That... Thank you, uncle." Chi Xu accepted it embarrassedly, turned around and took off his shirt in front of Zhong Haochen.

Zhong Haochen turned around immediately, pretending to be busy with his own affairs.

When having breakfast in the hotel cafeteria, Zhong Haochen took out a card of Grandpa Mao from his wallet and put it on the opposite side:

"Hurry up this time, don't be blown away by the wind again."

Chi Xuxu was completely sober from the wine. At this time, recalling the experience of last night, he was a little embarrassed:

"That... last night was really... too windy!"

"En!" Zhong Haochen didn't expose it, and nodded in agreement.

Following Zhong Haochen out of the hotel, carrying a bag with dirty short sleeves in his hand, Chi Xu touched his neck for a while, and the back of his head for a while, hesitant to speak.

"how?"

"Um... Uncle, can you accompany me to fix a cell phone?" Chi Xu hesitated a little, fearing that the other party might misunderstand, so he hurriedly explained:

"It's like this, all my money is in my mobile phone, and there is no repair shop near my school, so even if I take a taxi back to school, I can't repair my mobile phone, and I have to go back and forth, so, I..."

"Let's go." Zhong Haochen interrupted Chi Xu in time.

Why didn't I find out last time, this little guy is still a talkative physique.

When he came to the maintenance point, the staff told him that Chi Xu's mobile phone had been flooded for the second time, and the chip inside needed to be replaced.

But in this way, the cost will be high.

After thinking for a while, Chi Xu took a mobile phone and looked at Zhong Haochen with bewildered eyes:

"Uncle, can I...pay in installments?"

Zhong Haochen glanced at the price of the mobile phone, 5999, which is not too expensive, but for students, there is probably no way to pay him back in one go.

As everyone knows, if his mother didn't know that he had learned to drink, Chi Xu's living expenses would be enough to buy several mobile phones, so he wouldn't have to borrow money so pitifully.

It's really embarrassing to think about it. It seems that after meeting this uncle, he has been on the road of borrowing money, going further and further away.

Satisfied with getting the new phone, Chi Xu immediately transferred the money owed last night:

"Uncle, don't worry, I will definitely not renege on my debt."

"I know your name and school, and I'm not afraid of your refusal."

Chi Xu: "..."

The Dragon Boat Festival is coming soon, Zhong Haochen can't resist his grandmother's nagging, so he can only stay at home and try to actively participate in family gatherings.

In the kitchen, mother and grandma were busy, and there was a burst of laughter from time to time.

In the living room, his father Zhong Zhuo set up a game of chess to compete with Zhong Haochen.

Nao Nao obediently sat cross-legged at his feet, sticking out his tongue to lick the back of the male master's hand from time to time.

On the sofa, Zhong Xicheng crossed his legs and played games excitedly:

"Middle lane, mid lane, come quickly, support, what are you doing?"

"Shut up!" Zhong Zhuo glared at the youngest son, and when he looked at Zhong Haochen again, he deeply felt that the eldest son was pleasing to the eye!

Not only mature and stable, but also successful in career.

The only thing that made him feel helpless was that the eldest son didn't like to get close to their husband and wife.

But it's no wonder Zhong Haochen, who told them to leave their eldest son to grandma's care after he was born, and work from dawn to dusk.

When the husband and wife's career was stable, the son was already over nine years old without knowing it. At that time, when he wanted to take the son back to his side, he found that the child had already formed a lonely and cold personality. close.

Helpless, they had a second child, but Zhong Xicheng, a kid who was mischievous every day, didn't let the couple have a day of peace of mind.

At the dinner table, Chen Ruobing kept bringing dishes to Zhong Haochen, and kept calling the eldest son to eat the delicacies he cooked.

"Chenchen, eat a piece of fish, you are busy with work, so make up more."

"Chenchen, this sweet and sour pork ribs are not bad, sweet but not greasy, try it."

"Chenchen..."

"Thank you!" Zhong Haochen thanked them one by one, buried his head in eating, and didn't communicate much with his family.

Chen Ruobing looked helplessly at her husband and then at her mother-in-law, feeling that she had failed.

Grandma patted the back of her daughter-in-law's hand under the table, signaling her to be calm.

You have to take your time to develop a relationship with your son!

"Mom, I want it too! You can't just bring food for brother." Zhong Xicheng pouted, looking unhappy.

"Don't you have long hands?" Chen Ruobing glared at her youngest son, but she still picked up the vegetables and put them in Zhong Xicheng's bowl in satisfaction.

This little thing, although she is usually a mediocre student and idle, but it really warmed her heart and filled the vacancy in the relationship between mother and child.

After dinner, Zhong Xicheng was arranged in Zhong Haochen's room.

When Zhong Haochen came out of the shower, he saw Zhong Xicheng sitting on the single sofa with his legs curled up on the handle of the sofa, beside him who had been robbed of his land, he stared at his master with big innocent eyes.

"Go take a shower, it's getting late."

"Brother, I want to sleep in bed today." Zhong Xicheng seemed to be chatting with someone on WeChat, and responded to Zhong Haochen without raising his head.

"Impossible. Either the floor or the sofa in the living room, choose one." Zhong Haochen got on the bed and took out a copy of "The Way of Communication: From Calculus to 5G" on the bedside table to read.

"Hey... my brother asked me to sleep on the floor again, I feel so heartbroken! I really doubt if I am my real brother." Zhong Xicheng pretended to send a series of voices to the phone.

"Your brother is good or bad, and he won't let you go to bed. Fortunately, I don't have a brother, hahahahaha." A clear and magnetic male voice came from the opposite side.

There was a sense of inexplicable familiarity.

"Chi Xu, aren't you afraid that your parents will give you another younger brother?" Zhong Xicheng replied vindictively, with a wicked smile.

"Chi Xu?" Zhong Haochen said the name silently in his heart.

Could it be the Chi Xu he knew?

Such a coincidence?

He didn't know what the younger brother talked about with the other party.Because Zhong Xicheng walked out of his bedroom while chatting.

Obviously, he planned to become the head of the living room.

Half an hour later, when Zhong Haochen was reading a book, grandma knocked on the door, pushed the door open and entered with a displeased expression:

"Chenchen, how can you let your brother sleep in the living room? Your bed is so big, and the two brothers sleep together, why can't you?"

Zhong Haochen raised his eyes and looked over, his younger brother was hiding behind his grandma and making faces at him, gloating at his misfortune.

"I see, grandma, you should go to rest, it's late." Zhong Haochen got off the bed, and carefully helped grandma out of the room.

When returning to the room, Zhong Haochen took out a stack of Grandpa Mao from his wallet:

"Pack the floor tonight."

"Okay, brother!"
