Two pots of water

Jiang Chu was stunned, never expecting Tan Zui to say such a sentence.

But he soon understood what Tan Zui meant. Tan Zui wanted to see if he wanted to keep a distance from him, and if he wanted to have physical contact with him.

"Hug and hug." Jiang Chu smiled, leaned over and sat up on his knees on the bed, stretched his arms around Tan Zui and rubbed twice, "Crazy, is it okay to hug me, I've never seen you be polite before."

Tan Zui breathed a sigh of relief, and raised his arms to loosely wrap half a circle around Jiang Chu's waist.

"Hey, puppy." Just as he was about to let go, Jiang Chu suddenly patted him on the head again.

"Huh?" Tan Zui agreed.

"Did I tell you that Daben's wife has a younger brother?" Jiang Chu said, "It's Baoli."

"No." Tan Zui paused, and let go of Jiang Chu to look at him.

"Her brother, he should be five or six years younger than her." Jiang Chu sat back on the bed and took another sip of water with a cup in his hand. "Da Ben told me before that Baoli was the reincarnation of a firecracker. Her brother was pinched to death, and Baoli was already in junior high school and fought with his brother every day, and the two sisters had to cry every day."

"Last time, she told me that her brother had a fight with others and knocked out her front teeth. Baoli laughed like something. Whenever she quarreled, she would mention it and laugh when she mentioned it. She was so angry with her younger brother every day. She didn't have any problems in half a year." Talk to her." Jiang Chu said happily.

Qin Zui also smiled.

"That's what I think," Jiang Chu beat around the bush, looked at Tan Zui's eyes looking straight at him, and said the following words, "Compared to his brother Baoli and Du Miaomiao, I am so relieved to have a brother like you."

Tan Zui didn't speak, and continued to look at him.

"You are sensible, and you don't need me to tell you about your studies. You have goals, plans, and work hard." Jiang Chu felt uncomfortable when Tan Zui saw it. He gritted his teeth and continued, "Only other brothers It may not be as good as the two of us, I have always been very happy about it."

"You can meet a lot of people in your life... Hey, it's a bit awkward for me to say this. I always thought that I wouldn't start feeling emotional until I was 60 years old." Jiang Chu smiled and poured a cigarette from the bedside table, " But that’s exactly what it is.”

"As for you, you will meet more people in the future, those you have seen but have not seen, those you can understand but not understand, you will be troubled if you look at him more, and of course there are those you like." Jiang Chu drooped. His eyelids were lit by the cigarette, and he looked up at him again, "Me too."

Tan Zui turned around to get him an ashtray from the small table, his middle finger slipped, and he almost lost his grip.

"Thank you." Jiang Chu took it over and flicked the cigarette ash, "Sometimes when I think about it, I feel that the world is so fucking amazing. It must be such a deep fate that allows me to live for more than 20 years and have a younger brother. Still such a good brother."

"Of course, you are so lucky to have a brother like me." Jiang Chu said solemnly.

Qin Zui raised the corner of his mouth.

"So the two of us can be closer than brothers, now we are, and we will definitely be in the future." Jiang Chu spoke in a very brisk manner, "You will have many friends and colleagues, and you will have a lot of people to talk to. "

"These people change and change. They come here today and leave tomorrow. Today they are colleagues and tomorrow they may be rivals." Jiang Chu looked at him, "Only the two of us will not change."

"No matter when, you are my younger brother, and I love you." Jiang Chu said.

Tan Zui looked at Jiang Chu in silence for a long time, and then smiled lightly: "Why don't you just stay in bed all night and thank fate?"

"Ah." Jiang Chu also smiled.

He didn't know if Tan Zui understood what he meant, anyway, the more he spoke, the more his heart trembled, and in the end he didn't dare to look closely at Tan Zui's expression for no reason.

"Understood." Tan Zui was expressionless, nodded, and stood up from the chair calmly.

"Go back to the room?" Jiang Chu looked at him.

"What do you want me to help you with?" Tan Zui asked.

"No, I just want to say you go to bed early and don't stay up too long at night." Jiang Chu hurriedly told him.

"Yeah." Tan Zui didn't look at him again, and went out directly with the door behind him, not forgetting to turn off the light for him.

Zhou Teng has been lying on his stomach in front of Jiang Chu's gate, and when he saw Tan Zui come out, his stomach turned over again.

Qin Zui went to pour the cat food for it, shoveled the excrement, went to the bathroom to wash up, and saw a pillow next to the sofa kicked off by Zhou Teng on the floor, went to pick it up again, and tidied up the cushions He turned off the light in the living room and went back to his bedroom.

As soon as the door closed, his straight shoulders suddenly loosened an arc.

Tan Zui closed his eyes, raised one hand to support the door panel, lowered his head and exhaled deeply.

For the next month, everything went on as usual, the two of them didn't mention what happened that night, tacitly rotted that messy kiss in their stomachs.

In November, Tan Zui gave himself a self-study session every night at school.

"Added by the school?" Jiang Chu calculated the time after listening to him, "It's too late, it's usually ten o'clock after school, and one more class, it's eleven o'clock when we get home."

"No." Qin Zui just came back from school, and explained to him while changing his shoes, "The lights are turned off at 11:30, and those who live on campus basically stay until [-] o'clock before going back to their dormitories."

"Oh." Jiang Chu responded.

It's not impossible, eleven o'clock is a bit late, but the school is only two stops away from home, so there is nothing unsafe.

"It's just the last semester." Jiang Chu looked at Tan Zui and thought about his senior year in high school. He didn't have a few big nights in his impression. He was too lazy to mention it. You yourself? Are there any other students staying with you?"

"Gao Xia." Tan Zui went to the refrigerator to get a can of Coke, hesitated for a while before saying, "Du Miaomiao is here."

"He can't." Jiang Chu laughed when he heard that Du Miaomiao was going to study.

Two drops of Coke splashed on Tan Zui's face, and he stretched out his thumb to wipe it off: "He just doesn't want to go home, he is procrastinating at school, and Lao Du will have to be caught by him within an hour."

"He lives on campus." Tan Zui tilted his face, took a sip of Coke, and rubbed it casually with his wrist.

Jiang Chu was stunned.

Tan Zui went out from the kitchen, and he followed Tan Zui to his room, stared at Tan Zui and asked, "Du Miaomiao lives in school?"

"It's been a week." Tan Zui took off his coat and threw it into the closet.

"Oh." Jiang Chu still looked at him.

Tan Zui only wore a close-fitting black sweater in his coat today, and he pulled the hem to take it off, but seeing that Jiang Chu was still there, he asked him "Huh?" again.

"What?" Jiang Chu asked.

"I'll change clothes." Tan Zui said, "What's wrong with Du Miaomiao living in school?"

"You change clothes and I have to go out?" Jiang Chu pointed to himself, feeling baffled.

Isn't it time for you to walk around the house shirtless?

Tan Zui looked at him for a while, then put his hands on his belt: "There are still pants."

Jiang Chu looked at him for two seconds, nodded: "Okay, let's change."

After turning around and going out, Tan Zui closed the door directly behind him.

Jiang Chu looked back at the door panel, endured it for a while, but still couldn't hold back the urge to frown.

He thought it was wrong for Tan Zui to hide from his hand just now, and he could still take it as a coincidence, but in the end, he changed his clothes and chased him away.

Jiang Chu frowned and lit a cigarette.

This month, he was in a mess, he didn't want to keep thinking about it, forcing himself to divert his attention, so that he could only focus on his work.

Thinking about it carefully, it seems that I haven't had any close contact with Tan Zui recently, and I haven't seen him walking around the room with his shirt on and only big pants on.

Jiang Chu couldn't tell what it was like, but Tan Zui must have understood what he said.

But this understanding is too much. It seems that Qin is the most active in avoiding suspicion with him, but Jiang Chu feels inexplicably like the withdrawn child in the class before, who feels the slightest disgust from others and leaves first. far away.

Jiang Chu's whole body was full of mixed feelings, and he felt that he was not holding a heart in his arms, but a huge strange-flavored bean.

When he came back from the company the next day, he went to a nearby dessert shop to buy a lot of food for Tan Zui.

The shop recommended by Tang Cai, originally Jiang Chu just wanted to buy cakes, roast ducks and so on. In the afternoon at the company, he casually asked what young people in their 20s like to eat, and Tang Cai directly gave him a five-star list .

In fact, he felt that Qin should not like these, but this kind of flashy little food really made people feel good, so he bought a bunch more.

He went home with a paper bag of five-star lists, and when Tan Zui hadn't come back at 10:30, Jiang Chu remembered that he had added lessons to himself in the evening.

"I'll pick you up later?" He called Tan Zui.

"Cold, don't come out." Tan Zui's voice was not high, Jiang Chu heard a thin discussion in the background sound from his side, it seemed that he was really making up lessons.

"I'll be there at [-]:[-]." Jiang Chu looked at the time, got up and put on his coat, "You can just come out if you think it's almost time."

Tan Zui was silent for a while, but didn't refuse, and hung up the phone with a "hmm".

"Your brother?" Du Miaomiao lay on the table next to her, resting her chin with her hands, dangling a pen in her mouth, and turned her head to ask Tan Zui.

"Want to see him?" Tan Zui glanced at him.

"I didn't see you." Du Miaomiao quickly turned her face away.

"He didn't even see his uncle, why did he see your brother?" Gao Xia laughed, and took out a paper from Tan Zui's desk to answer the question.

"It's so annoying." Du Miaomiao muttered and moved the stool vigorously, and took out two hands from under her chin to hold her head.

Jiang Chu parked the car at the usual location at the back door, and found that there were several private cars like him on the road, all of them were parents sitting in the car waiting to pick up their children, and the eldest brother in a Volkswagen had already fallen asleep with his neck up.

It's really not easy now.Jiang Chu felt a little emotional, and didn't know if he would become like this big brother in 20 years, busy all day for the children's college entrance examination.

After a small group of students scattered out, Jiang Chu saw Tan Zui and Gao Xia.

"Brother." Gao Xia came over to say hello to him.

"Where is your home, come up and see you off together." Jiang Chu said.

"My mother came to pick me up. She was going to nurse and fell asleep. She was on the way just now on the phone." Gao Xia smiled and said a few words, then turned around and slapped Tan Zui's buttocks, "I'll take your materials tomorrow Give it to me, don't forget it again."

Tan Zui got into the car and sat down, throwing his schoolbag casually on the open space between his feet.

Jiang Chu drove the car to the intersection before he glanced at him: "How many people are there in the class?"

"A dozen or so." Tan Zui rummaged through the back of the car, and Jiang Chu knew that he was looking for cigarettes, so he raised his right arm, "in his pocket."

Tan Zui glanced at his pocket, but withdrew his hand and didn't take it in.

"What's wrong?" Jiang Chu looked at him again, suddenly a little upset.

"Look at the road." Qin raised his chin forward and did not answer his words.

The two of them didn't speak for the rest of the way, and when they entered the house, Jiang Chu stared at the back of Tan Zui's head to watch him change his shoes, and for some reason, he felt angry.

He reached out and slapped Tan Zui's ass.

It was just on the half that Gao Xia took a picture of just now.

Tan Zui was taken aback by his sudden jerk, turned his head to meet Jiang Chu's staring gaze at him, and said after a while, "Don't touch me."
