invisible brother

"elder brother……"

The soft call was like a gust of wind, soon dull in the summer night.

Ji Yan opened his eyes and fumbled to turn on the desk lamp.He opened the bedside table, opened a pack of cigarettes and took out one, lit it, and the smoke diffused, leaving only the light and dark cigarette butts flickering in the darkness.

The music of the game came from the next room, and it is not difficult to imagine how enthusiastically the owner of the room is surfing the Internet.

Usually at this time, he would knock on the door patiently, scold his younger brother for his irregular work and rest, order him to go to bed earlier, and finally return to the room in a bad mood, roll over on the bed several times and fall asleep.But tonight he didn't want that.

It was past eleven o'clock at night, but Ji Yan couldn't fall asleep no matter what, so he simply took the key and went out, found a food stall to drink and enjoy the night breeze.

He didn't keep in touch with his friends, and he came to the night market alone, but he saw the flames soaring into the sky from a distance, and the road was blocked by the crowd of onlookers.

"There are still people inside! It's a crime!"

A young couple was crying loudly. They left the old man and the child at home, went to work outside, and stayed in the factory. Who knew that such a thing would happen!

Although the fire brigade arrived in time, the fire was too complicated. It burned a small noodle restaurant from the kitchen to the front shop. The shop owner can only be thankful that no one was injured.

But the upper floor of the noodle shop is a cheap rental house, connected together, and the strong and healthy fled out with their families.

Ji Yan looked at it for a while, then turned his head to leave, but his shoulders trembled, as if he had been hit hard by something, and when he raised his head again, he found that the world in front of him had changed.

Layers of gray and white soul bodies covered the crowd, but in the burning house, there was a blue figure standing quietly in the aisle, looking coldly at the crowd below.

"hey-hey!"

The terrifying ghost glanced in front of him, Ji Yan was startled, subconsciously took a step back, but saw clearly the young man looking at him with complicated eyes not far away.

He was wearing a lake blue shirt, with a thin body, and a jade-colored face under cool short hair.Dark eyebrows, warm eyes, and lips with blood loss under the straight bridge of the nose.

Ji Yan knew him, he couldn't be more familiar, that was his younger brother... He was wearing the clothes he bought with him when he was in the college entrance examination.He once said that he would wear that dress to school, but after wearing it once during the summer vacation, he was never seen wearing it again.

Ji Yan's mind was blank, he couldn't hear the sounds around him, he could only see his younger brother glaring at the horrific ghost angrily, his cold fingers pressed between his brows, sealing off the vision he shouldn't have.

Ji Yan walked on the way home with his body cold, opened the door, changed his shoes, and before returning to the bedroom, Ji Yan called him and asked him where he had been, but he didn't answer.

It was like a dream... No, it was definitely not a dream.Ji Yan wrapped himself tightly in a blanket, thinking chaotically, that is his younger brother, what about the one in the next room?
