Good Night, Liang Xiao

From an objective point of view, Ye Ji'an is not at a loss for how to deal with his brother's phone calls. On the contrary, he has a lot of experience by practicing once a year. The reason why he is so nervous may be attributed to the visit in the morning. .Some memories were triggered, so instincts also came out. He just felt very uncomfortable. Thinking of the tone he was about to hear, the things he talked about, and the face on the other end of the signal, his memory had already gradually blurred , but it is very uncomfortable.

It was comfortable to lean next to Liang Xiao, so he leaned on it.Two men sat on an ordinary high-backed chair, Liang Xiao silently gave up half of it to him, and was still eating food quietly, pulled out the heads of the shrimp, and then dipped the shrimp meat into the vinegar, it didn't seem that he was too abnormal Taking it to heart, this also made Ye Ji'an feel a little relaxed.

He pressed the green circle.

It was the mother's voice that came.

In the long-lost Nanjing dialect, I asked him if he had eaten, whether he was still working overtime, whether it was very cold in Beijing, whether there were firecrackers set off, and even said happy new year to him.The weird feeling in Ye Ji'an's heart deepened, it was like replying to the leader's New Year's greeting text message, his mind was dull but his reaction was quick, and he responded with the same kindness to every polite word from his mother.Then there was the father again, that serious and reticent intellectual image never seemed to change, at least in front of Ye Ji'an, he was committed to maintaining it.He said a few auspicious words dryly, talked about his health, and gave some general advice at work, and the receiver was handed back to his mother.

What about Ye Zhihong?Ye Ji'an asked.

You're driving, take us to a restaurant.The mother replied, and the child's laughter came from the receiver. It was crisp and sound, and it should be being hugged in her arms.

Ye Ji'an's hand was also held.Liang Xiao remained calm, with the wetness of boiled shrimp between his fingers, clasped his five fingers, leaned back on the chair, and looked at him quietly.

"Well, it's fun," Ye Ji'an smiled, "Tongtong, send me a New Year greeting on WeChat, and I'll send you lucky money."

As soon as the words fell, the child bowed directly on the phone. The front teeth seemed to be still leaking, and the childish voice was skillfully speaking sweet words. When he, a relative who had never met before, was happy, he would wrap him up. of.

Ye Ji'an quickly hung up the phone. The amount transferred by WeChat was 2019. He put the phone aside and turned to look at Liang Xiao. "I should be in kindergarten this year."

Liang Xiao nodded, then squeezed his finger bones again, "It's a little girl."

"I'm so spoiled. My mother likes girls. When she was pregnant, she told me every day that she would give me a younger sister. It would be exhausting enough for a boy to raise me." Ye Ji'an rested his forehead on Liang Xiao's cheek, drooping Eye, "Who knows."

After saying that, he raised his face again, stared into Liang Xiao's eyes from a few inches away, it was a blatant and sudden invitation, seeing Liang Xiao opened his lips, he simply put his arms around his neck and kissed, that After kissing for 5 minutes, Liang Xiao squinted his eyes slightly, and responded to him with enthusiasm. His warm palms slid into the hem of his clothes. The two of them didn't even separate for a second, and the chair started to creak when they kissed.

After the kiss, Ye Ji'an rubbed the corners of Liang Xiao's lips, and sat back on his chair.

His lips are redder than shrimp.

The topic of family did not continue, Liang Xiao quickly made Ye Ji'an laugh, the two of them crossed their calves under the table, and they ate slowly on the table, until it was nearly ten o'clock, they finished the two bottles of beer , put the leftovers into a disposable lunch box, and prepare to feed the stray dogs downstairs the next day.

Afterwards, Ye Ji'an went to take a bath, and washed off the oily smell on his body and the flour on his hair. Liang Xiao had already washed it in the afternoon. He piled the dishes and chopsticks into the sink, listened to the cross talk on TV from a distance, and squatted in front of the cabinet to observe After a while, I suddenly noticed something.

I used to own a dishwasher.

It's just that it is hidden relatively deep, under the stove, you need to open the cabinet door to see it.

Thinking of the agony of dealing with those dishes and pans, Liang Xiao felt that the whole thing was quite stupid. Of course, you can’t fall in love with something you haven’t done for more than [-] years, even if you wash the dishes with Ye Ji’an. He felt happy, at best not so painful.Outside of work, Liang Xiao is a person who puts entertainment first. Of course, he threw all the tableware into the dishwasher, squeezed in a lot of detergent, pressed a few buttons, and returned to the living room to sit cross-legged on the wool carpet. , it's warm and cozy.

Max, who was full of cockroaches, lay happily on the coffee table, winking at him from time to time.

When Ye Ji'an came out of the bathroom, he had just turned off the video his father had posted a few hours ago, which showed seabirds flying at night and a starry sky where few stars could be seen.Thinking that it was already midnight in Hawaii time, Liang Xiao didn't reply.

"Are you bored?" Ye Ji'an pointed to the Spring Festival Gala on TV, put down the towel for wiping his hair, and hung it on the heating rack.He was originally bare-chested and wore a pair of white sweatpants, because the upper part of the clothes was too revealing and he couldn't wear them out for exercise. After impulsive shopping, Ye Ji'an regarded it as a daily wear at home. At this time, Liang Xiao stared at it. His face was hot, so he picked up a gray sweetheart neck sweater from the sofa and put it on for himself.

"I haven't watched it for many years," Liang Xiao said, "I think language programs are very interesting."

Ye Ji'an was a little surprised at first, but soon became amused. He stepped off his slippers, sat down next to Liang Xiao with his bare feet, put a pillow behind his waist, and folded his knees. Send out red envelopes in the group!"

"They are all urging you," Liang Xiao hugged him naturally, "I didn't urge you."

Ye Ji'an had already found Liang Xiao from the "Call Supervisor Ye" that swiped the screen. About 10 minutes ago, he didn't say a word of nonsense, just kept giving out red envelopes, and all ten of them were snatched up. "Yeah, are you posting it for me?" He gave Liang Xiao a light look, "I think they're going to call you dad soon."

"Can I call you Dad just by receiving the red envelope?" Liang Xiao frowned, his eyes fell on his toes, which were flushed by the hot water and sunk in the long, soft wool.

"Isn't it? It's already there." Ye Ji'an pointed out to Liang Xiao who was identifying his father without distraction, and then sent out a series of red envelopes that he should give out. Every year during the Spring Festival, he would give out five thousand in the group. Tradition, it has been like this for many years, and he, the current supervisor, is used to it, so it doesn't hurt anymore.Now everyone was crying and shouting at their mothers and started talking about whether Director Ye had just gone on a date and finally came, and the talk did not delay the opening of the bag, and the 5000 yuan was immediately divided up.

Ye Ji said reassuringly, at least save some for me, it's better to snatch a dime from your own than not to get a dime at all.He has accumulated 999+ unread messages on WeChat, and he doesn't even bother to look through them. They are nothing more than polite words in the work group, and New Year's greetings sent in groups. Just about to put down his phone to watch Liang Xiao's favorite sketches, the special reminder sounded, so he It was set up by only one person.

WeChat transfer, 50000 yuan.

Immediately afterwards, another message popped up: the quota is exceeded, and 2000 will be made up tomorrow.

Ye Ji'an didn't click on it, but turned to look at the source of the news, "What are you doing?"

Liang Xiao looked at him innocently, and said slowly, "I want to hear senior call me daddy, on the bed."

Ye Ji'an was stunned for at least ten seconds, the smell of alcohol was back and forth between his lips and teeth, he lost his mobile phone and twisted Liang Xiao's ears, "...Little ancestor, I'm seven years older than you, why? , Are you growing negatively in age," he yelled, biting the ear, "I won't get it if you kill me, it's a fucking question of dignity."

Liang Xiao hugged him, and gnawed at his Adam's apple without haste, "Then I also have the confidence to let senior call out."

Ye Ji'an gasped for a few breaths after being gnawed, and suddenly lost all energy. He fell limply into Liang Xiao's arms, put his arms on the shoulders, and let those slightly painful kisses cover his collarbone. Xiao pushed open his sweetheart collar with the tip of his nose, and continued to go down.To be honest, he washed so slowly just now because he made some preparations according to what he said on the Internet. If he really made it to the end tonight, Ye Ji'an would not think it was so sudden. Dreaming up and changing to a lyrical song, this is not the right time and place and what it is.

Just then the phone rang, just as Ye Ji'an had already slid down and lay on his back on the carpet, just as Liang Xiao pressed on him and continued to kiss, rubbing his fingers on the waistband of his trousers.

"Pick it up first." The bell kept ringing, Liang Xiao sat up, wiped his lips and looked at him.

Ye Ji'an propped himself up and grabbed the phone from the coffee table, feeling a little impatient.Ye Zhihong, Ye Zhihong again.

"Hello?" He rubbed his half-dry hair carelessly, not feeling very angry.

The other party seemed to be very talkative, Ye Ji'an didn't have much time to speak, and soon his whole face turned cold, and the steamy redness just now disappeared, "What do you want me to do, she is my niece, I shouldn't give out New Year's money? "

After pursing his lips and listening for a while, he said again: "I know you can afford it, but at least, I call them parents, and I also have the obligation to support them, right?" The gland in the corner of the eye, "I don't want to quarrel with you every year because of this kind of thing. I put the money into my mother's card, and you let her take care of it. It's okay if she is cheated, as long as she is happy."

"Okay, you can go back and spend more time with them." This was the last sentence.

After hanging up the phone, Ye Ji'an remained silent for a long time.

"Do you want to continue?" He seemed to have spent a lot of effort before he asked.

Liang Xiao shook his head, looked at him attentively, and there was no fluctuation in his eyes, "Would you like to talk to me, senior? These things."

Ye Ji'an lowered his eyes and smiled, "Are you willing to listen?"

Liang Xiao said seriously, "I've always wanted to hear it."

Ye Ji'an was silent for a while, smoothing his messy hair, and then he spoke, his tone was as calm as the morning meeting at 09:30 every day, but his voice was hoarse, "It's like this, they are actually not my biological parents, my younger brother is My own, I was adopted when I was three years old, and my younger brother was born when I was seven years old."

Liang Xiao nodded and quietly handed him a cup of black tea.

Ye Ji'an cherished this quietness, he didn't need Liang Xiao to say anything, let alone express any surprise or sympathy, and Liang Xiao just knew what he was thinking.After drinking half a glass, he said again: "I was in that orphanage before, the one I went to in the morning. I have been there since the beginning. It is useless to find my biological parents, and I don't want to." He began to press the inner corner of his eyes again. , "Everyone has a rebellious period, I think after having a biological child, they treat me badly, and thought about running away from home, but when they did it, they found it meaningless. They didn't rush to find me at all, so I just I’m going back, and I’m not making fun of myself. From now on, study hard, and I want to go to the best university in other places, and then work and settle outside and never go back. I’ve done it now.” He laughed again, “Inspirational story."

Liang Xiao raised his hands and stroked his eyebrows, "I know that senior is very powerful. I always think so."

Ye Ji'an's brows stretched, but his eyelashes drooped, "Now that I think about it, I feel quite boring. What can I be angry about? They raised me up, and now I look like this , I feel embarrassed when I go back, and I don’t know what to do. I just want to do my filial piety, at least like they did to me when I was young, and I can’t lose them with money. Then my brother is anxious to me every year, telling me Don't send money back."

Liang Xiao couldn't help asking: "Why?"

Ye Ji'an thought about it seriously, "He was smarter than me since he was a child, and he often won various prizes in competitions. I have always been very proud. Now that his salary is not bad, he feels that he can fully support the family, and he doesn't want to recognize me as his brother. He felt that I gave money to pity them and wanted to stand on the moral high ground and judge them."

Liang Xiao was slightly startled.

Ye Ji'an laughed again, "I don't think so at all. I just think..."

He couldn't go on.

Liang Xiao held Ye Ji'an's hand in his own and waited for him silently.

Ye Ji'an choked up for a moment, and finally said: "I just think that if there is no contact at all, if this little effort is made, I won't do it, and they won't do anything, and probably won't take the initiative to contact them. Me, it's like we're not family at all."

Liang Xiao asked softly: "Senior, do you think they are family now?"

Ye Ji'an stared at the ground and nodded, "Still."

Liang Xiao asked again: "Then do you think they love you?"

Ye Ji'an raised his eyes in a daze, "This kind of question is meaningless."

"It makes sense," Liang Xiao insisted, "Families love each other."

"Don't say that." Ye Ji'an's fingers curled up in the palm of his hand, holding them up lightly, as if he was holding his strength, not daring to put all the weight on it.

"I understand that seniors want to make them miss you and love you through hard work and dedication, but what they get in this way is all fake." Liang Xiao grasped Ye Ji'an's wrist, slid on his forearm and upper arm, and finally rested on Ye Ji'an's wrist. On the shoulders, "For more than ten years, the seniors just refused to understand this truth. But you are worthy of love, you don't need to lower yourself and beg others."

Ye Ji'an just sat there stiffly, tucking his chin, breathing up and down.

For a few moments, his expressionless face was like crying.

"Others love you, that's other people's business, you don't need to work hard, go help him," Liang Xiao said slowly and methodically, he put Ye Ji'an's head back together, and hugged him tightly in front of him, " Just like I hope that my predecessors love me, but also because I love me. I threw away my clothes and took off my clothes. I stood on the earth before Adam and Eve. I want you to still love me like this, not because of what I have done. .”

"I……"

Liang Xiao was not in a hurry, and slowly swayed while holding the man, waiting for him to speak.

"...There was no such person before." Ye Ji'an finally spoke, with the tip of his nose resting on the side of his neck, his voice muffled.

"What kind of person?"

"Yes, the one who loves me..." The word love is too difficult to say, Ye Ji'an said it, and took a few deep breaths, "The one who tells me it's worth it."

Liang Xiao seemed to be smiling, "Do you have it now?"

Ye Ji'an nodded heavily, and buried his face in Liang Xiao's arms, "Yes."

Liang Xiao gently kissed the top of his hair, "Then remember this."

They hugged like this for a long time. For a long time, the programs on the TV changed one after another, and even the distant and hazy sound of firecrackers came from downstairs.Ye Ji'an didn't know what time it was, he only knew that he was crying in that embrace, he was very careful and satisfied, he only cried a little bit, and then stopped, the eyeballs were probably swollen, and the tears were dry on his face , there is no sound at all.

However, Liang Xiao seemed to have picked the right time, cupping his face to start kissing him, watching his appearance completely.

"Wait a minute..." Ye Ji'an pushed him, "I'll wash my face, it's so ugly."

Liang Xiao's eyes widened, and he said in surprise, "I think senior is very good-looking, can a little beer make people talk nonsense?"

Ye Ji'an burst out laughing, "My mouth is covered with honey again."

Liang Xiao still held his face in his hands like that, and spoke in a straight-forward manner, "It just looks good." He pinched the back of Ye Ji'an's neck and groped down inch by inch along his spine, "I think about it... catch the subway The messy bangs are good-looking. The stubble that was too late to shave off after working overtime is also good-looking. The dark circles under the eyes are also good-looking now.”

Ye Ji'an's heart was beating like a drum. He felt that he couldn't let others serve him and do nothing, so he tentatively reached into the hem of Liang Xiao's sweater, from his abdominal muscles to the waist of his trousers. Before he could reach in and feel something, he felt A gust of hot air leaned against his ears, and Liang Xiao's dry voice made him dizzy at such a close place, as if he was sitting on a cloud suddenly, "I can fuck you better."
