bud

The rain has not stopped for two days.

For the past two days, Jiang Yu and Zi Luo didn't go anywhere, Jiang Yu and Zi Luo would stay together when there was no one at home, watching movies on a tablet or playing games together, even if the rainstorm continued outside, they felt at ease.

On the third day they went to school in the rain, Jiang Yu sat on the back seat of Zi Luo's car, this time he got his wish and shared a poncho with Zi Luo, he hid inside and hugged Zi Luo's waist tightly.

"Ninth, I'm in the top ten." Jiang Yu looked at Zi, who had won the first place in the grade again, and sighed, "Xiaojiang is so smart, he will definitely be in the top five in the third year of high school."

Zi Luo listened to him boasting and laughed for a while, then took him home by bike.

Jiang Dezhi got off work at the same time, and Xu Meiyin didn't go to the store at home today. The young couple cooked a meal at home and called Jiang Yu to eat.

Jiang Dezhi didn't talk very much recently, and he couldn't say a few words during a meal, so Xu Meiyin only answered when he asked him.He drank one cup after another, as if he had something on his mind.

"Stop drinking, you still drink so much at home." Xu Meiyin put away his wine glass, turned to Jiang Yu and said, "Go get your dad a bowl of noodles."

After Jiang Yu went out, Xu Meiyin looked at him and asked, "Did something go wrong at work?"

Jiang Dezhi didn't look up, took a mouthful of the cold dish, and said annoyedly: "What's the problem, you can't wait for something to happen to me, right?"

"Why are you so good at misinterpreting people's meaning?" Xu Meiyin frowned, "Tiantian pulls a face, asks you but doesn't say anything."

"I have something to say to you."

Xu Meiyin said angrily: "Oh, you can't tell me. You can tell them when you go out to drink, right? I'll serve you when I come back drunk?"

Jiang Dezhi was already flustered with boredom, but when he was nagged by her, he immediately lost his temper. He dropped his chopsticks and said, "Fuck you, eat by yourself!"

Jiang Yu walked in with a bowl of noodles, silently put it on the table without saying a word.

Xu Meiyin was also angry, and slapped the table: "Why did you fall and what disease did you get? If you don't eat, get out!"

"Why should I go! This is my home!"

……

Seeing that the two started fighting, Jiang Yu took a few mouthfuls of vegetables and went back to the room with the bowl in hand, turned on the computer and looked for a movie to watch.After a while, there was no sound in the living room before he went out to clean the dishes.

The phone rang. Jiang Yu took a look and found that it was a message from Xiong Ling.

Xiong Ling: Cousin, my grades in the final exam have improved.

Encounter: Great, I will take you out for dinner after a while

Xiong Ling: Yeah

The rain was getting heavier and heavier, Zi Luo returned to the room after eating, checked the edited email and pressed send.After turning off the computer and sitting in front of the piano, I practiced for three or four hours before stopping.

He found a few more songs to listen to, making sure he had memorized the score firmly. When he picked up his phone, he saw the message Jiang Yu sent him, and the time showed it was two hours ago.

When Jiang Yu was tossing and turning on the bed and couldn't fall asleep, he didn't receive a reply to the message he sent to Zi Luo, and he was already asleep at the moment.

In the dream, it was still such a rainy day, but the difference was that there was a strong wind, and the persimmon trees in the yard swayed with the strong wind, dropping many tender green leaves.The fallen fruit could not hear the sound, fell to pieces on the ground, and was washed by the heavy rain, leaving only a layer of light orange.

A figure appeared in front of him.

The man was wearing a white T-shirt and shorts, without an umbrella, and his whole body was drenched by the rain. He stretched out his hand and stroked the hair on his forehead to reveal his forehead. , I still had a smile on my face when I came in.

Holding a bag firmly in his arms, Jiang Lai quickly ran into the living room, not caring about the mess on his body. When he entered the house, he looked for his younger brother who had gone hiding somewhere: "Xiao Yu? Where is Xiao Yu? Brother I'm home."

Except for the strong wind howling outside and heavy rain falling, Jiang Lai heard no other sounds.He stepped on his sandals and pushed away from his room, only to find a small lump on the bed.

Only then did Jiang Lai feel relieved, walked over with a sigh of relief, patted the quilt, and the people inside trembled.

"It's brother." Jiang Lai said in a soft, gentle voice, "Don't be afraid of Xiaoyu, it's brother who is back."

The person under the quilt moved, and then revealed a head.

Xiao Jiangyu opened his big eyes, and there was still fear in his eyes that hadn't dissipated. When he saw Jiang Lai, he got out of the quilt. Seeing Jiang Lai's body was soaked, he stretched out his small hand to wipe him.

Jiang Lai grabbed his wrist: "It's okay. Look at what this is, what you want to eat, brother bought it for you."

He covered the bag in his arms all the way and hurried back. The bag was covered with rainwater, and the box inside was not covered with a single drop of rain. After opening it, the milk-green pastry inside was intact. It was Jiang Yu's favorite mung bean cake.

Both parents are busy with work, only the brother and brother are at home, but Xiao Jiangyu is greedy, so Jiang Lai went to buy it for him before it rained outside.

Xiao Jiangyu stared at the mung bean cake for a few seconds, then looked up at Jiang Lai.

He raised his hand again to wipe the rain on Jiang Lai's face, this time Jiang Lai didn't stop him, and gently raised his face for him to wipe.

Xiao Jiangyu tilted his head: "Brother, will you get sick?"

He was four years old that year, but in his impression, Jiang Lai got sick so many times that he was a little scared.

Jiang Lai squatted by the bed and looked at him, the corners of his lips were always curved: "No."

Xiao Jiangyu pouted, just staring at him without saying a word.

Jiang Lai coaxed him: "Really not, brother, go take a bath, it will be fine after washing."

As he spoke, he put the mung bean cake in front of Xiao Jiang Yu's eyes, stretched out his hand and pinched his face: "Xiao Yu, be good, brother go take a bath."

Xiao Jiangyu nodded and watched him walk out of the room.

He stretched out his hand to pinch the mung bean cake, ate one piece after another, and when he choked, he went to the small teacup by the bed, which Jiang Lai bought for him, and his photo was on it.

He chewed the mung bean cake, listened to the wind outside, and stuck his head out to look in the direction of the door from time to time, hoping that Jiang Lai would come back soon.

Xiao Jiangyu didn't eat much, but he didn't plan to eat it. He covered the box and kept the rest for his brother.

Jiang Lai came back quickly, without blowing his hair, went into the house with a towel, and ate the mung bean cake that Xiao Jiang Yu fed.

Xiao Jiangyu stood up from the bed, took the towel in his hand, and began to rub his head with his two little hands.

Jiang Lai's face was watered by him, and he blinked and smiled happily.

But Jiang Lai was still sick.

Xiao Jiangyu was lying on the bedside looking at him with a sad expression.Xu Meiyin came in and touched Jiang Lai's forehead. Jiang Dezhi rushed in as soon as he entered the door. His clothes and shoes were not changed, and the floor was full of rain.

"What's going on? Why did you suddenly have a fever when you were told to wear more clothes and less time to go out?" Jiang Dezhi came over and touched his forehead, feeling extremely anxious, "Go to the hospital, Dad will take you to the hospital."

Seeing Jiang Lai's pale face, Xiao Jiang Yu thought of Jiang Lai's appearance after being discharged from the hospital a few times before, and he looked very uncomfortable.

He blamed himself a little, just when he was about to speak, Jiang Lai blinked at him: "Hush."

Jiang Lai said to Jiang Dezhi, "Dad, I'm fine. I'll be fine after taking the medicine and getting some sleep."

Knowing that he had been in poor health since he was a child, Jiang Dezhi was not at ease because he was afraid of complications due to fever. He hastily and unintentionally squeezed Xiao Jiang Yu who was standing beside him, and Jiang Yu almost staggered and sat on the ground.

To appease the worried parents, Jiang Lai leaned on the head of the bed, and stretched out his hand to Xiao Jiang Yu who was not saying a word not far away.

Jiang Yu could feel the scalding heat in his palm, so hot that he would never forget it.

Jiang Lai pinched his face: "Are you unhappy when we met?"

"...It's all my fault, I'm greedy." Xiao Jiangyu lowered his eyes, his mouth deflated as if he was about to cry.

"Oh, our Xiaoyu is about to cry. Who said he was a man last time?" Jiang Lai smiled brightly, but his complexion was frighteningly pale, and his smile looked very weak. After a few seconds of pause, he said, "Fortunately you Did not follow."

When we went out, the weather was terribly gloomy, Xiao Jiang Yu wanted to go with him, but Jiang Lai refused, so he left him at home alone.

Jiang Lai gently hugged him into his arms, and patted him on the back, as if he was extremely grateful: "It's okay for brother to get wet in the rain, but it's not okay for Xiaoyu. If Xiaoyu gets sick again, brother should be worried to death."

Not long ago, Xiao Jiangyu also had a high fever, Jiang Lai took leave of absence to take care of him for a few days, busy before and after.Knowing that he likes to eat small wontons, he got up early in the morning to buy raw ones, boiled them in egg soup at home, and fed them into Xiao Jiangyu's mouth with a bowl.

Jiang Lai just hugged him like that, comforting him, saying that his brother was fine.

His high fever did not subside, and his palms and chest were so hot that Jiang Yu remembered it after waking up.

When Jiang Yu opened her eyes quietly, she heard the same sound of rain as in her dream.

He vaguely thought he was still in a dream, looking around, he was the only one.

Jiang Yu closed his eyes, counted a few times silently, and stretched out his hand to grab it.

When he opened his eyes again, he was still alone, and his palm was empty.

But the touch in the dream was so real, so real that his chest and even his heart were burning hot. He remembered it clearly, and when he closed his eyes, Jiang Lai's pale smile appeared in his mind.

He comforted himself that this was just a dream, although he liked to eat mung bean cakes, but that cup never existed in his life.

Even though he was comforted like this, he still couldn't resist the suffocating pain in his chest. Jiang Yu hid under the quilt and didn't come out after being out of breath.

Xu Meiyin didn't go to the store, she got up after a nap to clean up, the sound of rain came into her ears, she stood in the living room with a broom, looking at the green leaves all over the yard.

Jiang Dezhi's snoring was still ringing in his ears.

Xu Meiyin withdrew her gaze, continued to work, and knocked on Jiang Yu's door after a while: "Jiang Yu! Are you still sleeping? Get up and clean up the trash, and throw it away when the rain stops."

Jiang Yu was so bored that his head was sweating, and got up from the bed in response.

He tidied up the garbage bags in each room and put a new one on. Jiang Yu stood in front of Jiang Lai's desk for a while before pushing the door out. Xu Meiyin glanced at him and said nothing.

Jiang Yu stood in the corridor and looked at the persimmon tree, most of which was eaten by birds.

He suddenly wanted to get wet in the rain, to get a good shower.

So with the packed garbage in his hand, he stepped into the heavy rain step by step, without running, hiding, or closing his eyes, he walked outside the door, saw the trash can and walked over step by step.

Really happy.

He also craves mung bean cake.

Inexplicably, Jiang Yu felt the heat in his eye sockets, and a needle-like pain suddenly hit his brain, as if a Molotov cocktail was ignited in his mind, mixed with a bomb. difficult thing.

The scenery in front of him was covered by rain, and the entrance of the alley became blurred. He covered his chest and panted heavily, as if he had swallowed rainwater in his mouth while panicking.

After the pain gradually disappeared, Jiang Yu's whole body was drenched.

Jiang Lai in the dream also looked like this.

He didn't go back to the living room, but went directly to the bathroom, and looked at the people in the big mirror seriously.Her lips are rosy, and she is in a good state of mind, which is different from Jiang Lai in her dream.

Jiang Yu closed his eyes and beat his chest, trying to shake off the weird feeling.He took advantage of Xu Meiyin's return to the room to find a set of pajamas and went back to the bathroom, turned on the hot water and took a shower.

On a summer day, the house was stuffy with the wind blowing outside. Jiang Yu turned on the fan and saw Zi Luo return his message.

His whole body was tired as if he had run 800 meters, Jiang Yu's lips curled up, and he sent a voice call directly.Zi Luo on the other side was listening to the piano music, but was interrupted by Jiang Yu's voice, his eyes were soft, and he pressed the switch.

"Awake?"

Jiang Yu smiled: "Well..."

He didn't say what happened just now, but just wiped his hair and looked at the branches outside the window: "What are you doing?"

Zi Luo said: "Listen to the music, do you want to come?"

"One minute." Jiang Yu hung up the towel, "Welcome me with open arms."

Because it was a working day, Xie Xiaoan and Zi Chengmin were not at home.Zi Luo waited at the door with an umbrella, and when she saw the person she was waiting for came, she stretched out her arms and hugged her, and then they entered the room together.

Jiang Yu's hair was still wet, and Zi Luo thought he had been drenched in the rain, but only after smelling the faint fragrance of the man's body did he react.

"Your room really has a scent." Jiang Yu slumped on his bed, "What are you listening to, I want to hear it too."

Zi Luo locked the door, went to bed with him, and put an earphone into his ear.

It's piano music, and Jiang Yu thinks it's perfect for listening to piano music on a rainy day.

He closed his eyes, as if immersed in the music, and suddenly remembered that Zi Luo had also played this piece.

Jiang Yu opened his eyes and saw Zi Luo lying beside him, shoulder to shoulder with him.Maybe it was caused by that dream, or maybe it was the rainy day that made people's mind more sensitive, he took Zi Luo's hand, put it on his lips and kissed it a few times.

Zi Luo's eyes were gentle and tender, and he could see Jiang Yu's expression in full view. As soon as the song was over, he reached out and hugged the person in his arms tightly.

"Luoluo." Jiang Yu murmured, and when the song stopped, he couldn't help thinking about some messy and illogical things in his mind, "I haven't eaten mung bean cake for a long time."

Zi Luo turned to look at him: "Want to eat?"

Jiang Yu was silent for a while, then nodded.

Seeing him like this, Zi Luo sat up: "I'm going out to buy, you wait for me at home."

Jiang Yu was stunned, and when he came back to his senses a few seconds later, he saw that Zi Luo had already reached out to open the door, and he got out of bed with bare feet as if awakened, "...don't."

"What's wrong?" Zi Luo looked back at him, "I'm holding an umbrella and I'll be back soon."

"Don't go, I don't really want to eat, that stuff chokes people." Jiang Yu gasped a few times, the picture in his dream played back in his mind, his head started to hurt again, and he pulled Zi Luo back, "Don't go , What should I do if I have a cold and a fever?"

His brain was throbbing with pain as if being pulled by someone, his brows were tightly frowned, Zi Luo could see clearly, and followed him back to the bed without asking any questions.

Jiang Yu closed his eyes and shook his head slightly, trying to get rid of the maddening pain.

Looking up after a while, he and Zi Luo stared directly at each other. Jiang Yu sighed softly, and then limp into his arms: "I'm fine."

He knew that Zi Luo was worried.

"I just don't want you to go out in such a heavy rain." Jiang Yu raised his head slightly, "It's not a child anymore, if you want to eat, you have to eat."

Zi Luo didn't speak, but stroked his back with his hands, turned his head and glanced at the dark and gloomy sky outside the window, and the rain on the entire glass.He paused for a few seconds and said, "Let's go out and play when the rain stops."

"Yeah." The trip to Yungang has been delayed due to continuous heavy rain, Jiang Yu responded, "Play for a few more days, anyway, it's not far from home, I don't want to come back so soon."

Zi Luo said, "Okay."
