Brother Christine

When Shen Qing came out of the bathhouse, Jiang Xiao was brushing words on the phone and reciting things.

The refreshing smell of bamboo leaves came from behind, before the person got too close, Jiang Xiao turned off the phone, got up with a basin and looked at the person.

Shen Qing didn't blow his hair, and came out with only a towel on, wearing loose warm yellow half-sleeves, and black cotton shorts underneath. The backlight came towards him, and his thin silhouette glowed softly, in a trance. There is a flower in front of people.

Jiang Xiao stared at him and blinked.

Shen Qing didn't understand what his expression meant, he frowned slightly, reached out and handed him the card: "Go quickly, can I wait for you?"

Jiang Xiao took the card, put the phone in Shen Qing's hand, then walked in, lazily: "Whatever."

Shen Qing was a little hungry, he glanced at Jiang Xiao's back: "Then I'm leaving."

"You dare." Jiang Xiao made a threat in a low voice, turned around and walked into the bathhouse without looking at him.

Shen Qing: "..."

He suddenly wanted to have a fight with Jiang Xiao, to pay tribute to that person's volatile temper.

Jiang Xiao took a quick shower, and it was done in 10 minutes. It was 35:[-] when he came out, just in time for the bathhouse administrator to use the horn to remind those who were still procrastinating inside.

Jiang Xiao didn't blow his hair, and didn't put a towel on his head. He pulled on his slippers and came out with a dripping wet head.

Shen Qing glanced at Jiang Xiao's basin and found that his towel was completely wet.

"Here." Shen Qing handed Jiang Xiao the damp towel she had just wiped her head, as compensation for the few minutes she wasted.

"Thank you." Jiang Xiao took it and put it on his head, rubbed it vigorously a few times, then put the wet towel on his neck quite naturally, held the basin in one hand, and ran along his hair with the other hand.

"It's wet," Shen Qing couldn't look at Jiang Xiao's neckline wet with the towel, reached out and pulled the towel and threw it into the basin: "You go back and wipe it with another dry towel."

"No need," Jiang Xiao moved his half-dried head closer to Shen Qing: "It's already done."

Shen Qing glanced at his limp hair, her nostrils were scented by the sudden lavender fragrance, obviously it was a soft fragrance, but Shen Qing still felt that her nerves had been pricked.

He turned his head and glanced at the light pole on the side of the road: "I just say that, and you just listen."

"Oh," Jiang Xiao stretched his head back clearly, and nodded thoughtfully: "Fake concern."

"Don't label me indiscriminately." Shen Qing said.

"Hey!" Jiang Xiao laughed, turned his head and asked him, "How much score did you get in the college entrance examination?"

"671." Shen Qing replied, wondering why this person didn't remember the fact that Jiang Xiao was lying in bed for a week?

"671?"

"Ah."

"Eighth grade?"

"Eighth grade."

"No wonder."

"No wonder why?" Shen Qing suddenly had the illusion that she was flattering her.

"No wonder you talked to me in such an aggressive tone after the college entrance examination." Jiang Xiao glanced at him: "This is really capable."

"I don't take this test, so I still say so," Shen Qing also looked at him: "Do you regret it?"

"Regret what?"

"Let me come here."

"No," Jiang Xiao shook his head, "I have nothing to regret."

"That's because I'm afraid that I will take your face in front of others." Shen Qing said.

"Face?" Jiang Xiao snorted, and looked at him closely: "Do you think I'm the kind of person who cares about face?"

Shen Qing lost his mind for a few seconds, but seemed to be thinking carefully, and after half a minute, he said: "That's true."

"Shen Qing," Jiang Xiao turned his face, and suddenly said, "You have to treat me better."

Shen Qing felt that this sentence was very retarded, especially when it came from Jiang Xiao's mouth, it was like a tough guy acting like a baby, and the lame words made him want to laugh, but he didn't.

Shen lightly raised his eyes, and asked calmly, "Why?"

Being able to reconcile with Jiang Xiao is what he has always wanted.

He has been alone for too long, and he wants a companion who can let him tell the secrets that have been hidden in his heart all these years without any defense.

Among all the people of similar age he knew, the one who could scold him and still convince him, the one he admired, was the one who was not soft in fights, and who was not soft in beating, staring at a born rogue skin However, Jiang Xiao is a jerk who is so self-disciplined in his studies that he will not give up if he fails to take the first place in the exam.

Jiang Xiao, someone he both hates and longs to be close to.

But even though he has already nodded his head in his heart, he still has to ask for his past self, why?

Why did he wrinkle his brows and stare at him with hatred when he stepped into the mahogany door full of expectations and searched around for the brother who was said to be so smart that he was almost a genius, who was sitting on the sofa in the living room watching TV?

He is also the one who lost his father, why Jiang Xiao can take his mother as he should, but he has to pay the price of being treated strangely for nearly ten years for taking his father away?

Obviously it was obvious hatred, but why would Jiang Xiao sneak into his room, stand by his bed and lean over to look at him and touch him during those long nights when he was half asleep?

Why can Jiang Xiao secretly kiss him even if he is not drunk, but when he is drunk, touching him is like killing him?

Why?

Why did Jiang Xiao wantonly give him good things and bad things without his consent?And because of that detestable one-year-old, he will become the recipient of arbitrary psychological torture?

He had had enough of those nights when he didn't dare to open his eyes to question Jiang Xiao, a thief. He was already impatient. He needed a reason, a reason to accept Jiang Xiao openly, without saying thank you to him in a fake way. .

"Why?" Jiang Xiao repeated Shen Qing's words, scratching his chin with his thumb, thinking about it carefully, as if he wanted to find an answer.

Shen Qing silently bowed his head and went upstairs, carefully listening to his ears.

Jiang Xiao's arm suddenly blocked the person in front of him, stopping the person who was about to step up the last step.

"Have you figured it out?" Shen Qing tilted his head to look at him, with a tone like a proctor who is about to collect the exam papers.

"Why?" Jiang Xiao reviewed the proposition again, then straightened his body, and answered politely: "Because we are in the same dormitory now."

"so what?"

"This is my dormitory," Jiang Xiao glanced at him, "My roommate, my place."

Shen lightly raised his eyebrows, thinking that someone should say something like "If you dare to be disobedient on my territory, I will beat you until you can't see the sun tomorrow" in the next sentence.

"I can be nice to you," Jiang Xiao said, "So you have to be nice to me too. From now on, we will live under the same roof. I see your face every day, and I don't want to be offended by your duplicity."

The duplicity was on point, but Shen Qing was not at all embarrassed by being exposed through his cold mask. He pushed Jiang Xiao's hand away and went upstairs, and then gave the paper a 6 in his heart.

Jiang Xiao thought that Shen Qing was embarrassed by his poke, and didn't say anything else after that.

The rice noodles on the table in the dormitory were still hot, and they were packed tightly. After the two of them packed them up, they pulled up a stool and sat in front of the table to absorb the rice noodles.

The hot steam was filled with the smell of tomato and golden needle fat beef broth, and the whole room was filled with the aroma of fresh soup. The two of them who were starving had no time to chat, and they all concentrated on drinking the soup.

Jiang Xiao doesn't like to eat beef, his tomato pot contains more spinach and shrimp dumplings, Shen Qing prefers fat beef, plus bean curd bean sprouts, pick a chopsticks of mixed vegetables and rice noodles to chew, it's simply delicious in the world.The hot soup with vinegar is extraordinarily delicious, slipping into the throat and pouring into the stomach, the warmth and comfort make the whole person feel comfortable.

The table is quite small, a little more than one meter, and it is sandwiched between the two beds. Shen Qing and Jiang Xiao are sitting side by side and it is a bit crowded. After eating more than half a bowl, Shen Qing is finally willing to move his nest. He drank too much soup just now. He also sweated a little, and really didn't want to touch Jiang Xiao's arm, so he dragged the lunch box to the table and sat on the empty bed that was temporarily his own.

"Is it hot?" Jiang Xiao swallowed his food, turned his head to look at him, and waved his finger behind him: "If it's hot, turn on the fan. School hasn't officially started yet, and the air conditioner in the dormitory can't be used, and the air conditioner in our dormitory has a remote control. It was broken last semester, so I reported it for repair, and I have to get a new one this year.”

"It's not hot." Shen Qing just took a shower, and didn't want to blow too much wind: "It will be fine in a while."

Jiang Xiao stopped his chopsticks and waited, then said, "I'm hot."

"You can open it yourself if it's hot." Shen Qing lowered his head and drank the soup, he was too lazy to move.

"You're eating my food, and you won't work for me?" Jiang Xiao said very rationally, and if he was reasonable, he almost had his hips on his hips.

"I ate my own." Shen Qing didn't look up, but rhythmically buttoned her lunch box with her middle and long fingers picking up the bowl, silently emphasizing "this is my meal".

"I bought it for you."

"I'll transfer the money to you later."

"No, I can afford the money."

"Then don't be so pushy."

"But you just said you would be nice to me."

"That's what you said yourself."

"But you acquiesced."

Shen Qing finally raised her head to look at him, her white face was covered with sweat, her spicy lips were a little red and swollen, and her tone was impatient: "If you have time to waste this time, why don't you go there sooner?"

"That's right." Seeing that he wanted to see it, the extra 35 yuan was not in vain, so Jiang Xiao got up decisively to turn on the fan, and adjusted it to a higher gear.

Shen Qing drank the last sip of soup, savored the last taste of rice noodles, and felt that his whole life was complete.

The fan also turned on, and the cool breeze was blowing, not exciting at all, and he was blown comfortably.The feeling of fullness can easily make people sleepy, Shen lightly pulled a piece of paper to wipe his mouth, then lay on his back on the bed that had been cleaned in advance with his arms pillowed, and closed his eyes for a nap.

"Sleepy?" Jiang Xiao came over and kicked Shen Qing's drooping feet under the bed: "Are you full?"

Shen Qing's nasal voice replied lazily, "Yes".

"Go and brush your teeth first." Jiang Xiao ate the remaining vegetables in the box in two or three bites, then got up to clear the table: "Brush your teeth before going to sleep."

"Scrub it or not," Shen Qing stared in a daze, shrugging her shoulders indifferently: "No one checked."

"I'm too lazy," Jiang Xiao carried the takeaway box, turned around to throw the trash and kicked him, urging him: "Don't be inked, we haven't changed the bed yet, didn't you say you want to be on the top bunk, get up quickly!"

"I didn't bring a quilt." Shen Qing was so sleepy, he turned over and continued to squint: "I'll just roll up the quilt tonight, and I'll buy it tomorrow."

"What the hell," Jiang Xiao said, "Before the third brother left, he knew you were coming, so he left you a new mattress and four-piece suit. I'm afraid it will get dirty after a long time, so I put them in the closet for you." , get up and put on!"

"Huh? Did I pick up a bargain?" Shen Qing finally regained some energy when he heard this, he opened his eyes and looked at the tall man in black standing in front of his bed blocking the light, squinting his eyes and asked: "What's the name of the third child? Push me on WeChat, and I will thank you.”

"No need, you two will see each other in a few days, it's better for you to talk in person," Jiang Xiao walked to the cabinet, and punched his elbow twice on the upper right cabinet door: "That's it, the lock is on. There are also keys underneath, so hurry up and clean them up."

"Understood." Shen Qing endured the drowsiness, got up from the bed with difficulty, took the tooth cup and toothbrush, and followed Jiang Xiao to the corridor.

"Stupid!" Jiang Xiao glanced at the thing in his hand angrily, and pushed him back: "I haven't even put toothpaste on it!"

Shen Qing went back to apply toothpaste.

After trekking for a whole day, Shen Qing seemed to have fallen asleep all the way, but in fact, he only dared to close his eyes on the seat. His nerves were always tense, and he didn't dare to pay attention to the luggage and wallet as his mother told him before leaving. Negligence, from time to time, I would raise my eyelids and look around at the new passengers who got on the bus, and I was always thinking about things in my mind, and I didn't do less physical work, and I was already exhausted.

After brushing teeth in the water room with Jiang Xiao, Shen Qing went back to the dormitory and saw two large boxes waiting to be packed and a bulging hiking bag. After coming out, the two thick quilts with beautifully stitched stitches were thrown on the bed, and then the blue checked sheets of the same style as his brother were spread on top.

Shen Qing didn't even take the pillow from the box, she fell face down on the bed in a suicide-like manner, lifted the quilt and turned over, covering half of her body, and then fell asleep in a second.

Jiang Xiao saw Shen Qing fell asleep at the beginning, turned off the light when he entered the door, and was about to go to bed, when he stepped on the first step of the ladder, he saw Shen Qing, a scruffy man curled up on the bed, successfully reached The human bed is one and the other is not separated.

Shen Qing's upper body is covered quite tightly, but her lower body's ankles are still drooping under the bed. If her protruding ankle needs to be turned over again, it will definitely hit the sharp table corner at the end of the bed, and this kid will suffer.

Jiang Xiao frowned as he stared at the slob.

Shen Qing is not a sloppy person.

"Shen Qing?" Jiang Xiao raised his foot and stepped on the buttocks of the person whose back was facing him: "Sleeping?"

Shen lightly muffled his head, and made a nasal "hmm".

Jiang Xiao looked at his back with deep eyes: "Your bed is in a mess."

"We'll do it tomorrow."

"Fuck, forget it," Jiang Xiao went over and tugged at his arm, "Come up, sleep on my bed."

"Huh?" Shen Qing was woken up by someone vigorously. In the dark room, he sat on the bed and frowned: "I'll sleep on your bed, where do you sleep?"

"I sleep in my bed too, let's make do for one night first," Jiang Xiao stretched out his foot and kicked the mess on Shen Qing's bunk, and said with disgust: "Otherwise, do you still expect me to make your bed for you? What are you thinking? "

"To tell you the truth," Shen Qing rubbed his face, "I really think so."

He just wanted to see how much Jiang Xiao could do for him.

"Dream, don't be the only one who is tired all day long, I finished three days of classes in one day, I don't have time to serve you anymore," Jiang Xiao was also sleepy, reached out and grabbed Shen Qing's arm, then went up to paralyze On the bed, pulled the quilt over her body, closed her eyes and said lazily, "Hurry up, I'm going to sleep."

"Here we come!" Shen Qing held the upper bunk's covering pole and came up after flipping over, causing the bed to sway.

"The fans and windows are both open." Jiang Xiao moved his body to lean against the wall, turned his back to Shen Qing, and divided the quilt into half for him, "It's cold at night."

"Thank you." Shen Qing lay down beside him comfortably, turning her face to the left.

His eyes touched the back of Jiang Xiao's head, looking at the man's messy and damp short black hair.

A faint scent of incense drifted over leisurely, he breathed quietly, his eyes extended past the man's honey-colored skin and the back of his neck, and fell on the man's broad and strong shoulders where the fabric was taut.

The moonlight shines obliquely through the window, and Shen Qing's eyes are clear.

"The bed is quite small." Shen Qing turned her head, turned her head up, and closed her eyes: "Or I'd better go down and forget it."

"Crowded?" Jiang Xiao's voice was a little heavy, and his tone was displeased.

"A bit."

"Aren't your messy kennels underneath crowded?"

"Go and lay the bed for me."

"Fuck off, you fucking want to do something good, do I owe you?"

"elder brother."

"..."

"Brother," Shen Qing tensed her nerves, her tone remained the same for thousands of years: "No one in this place knows me, can I call you that?"

My heart was suddenly stimulated, and then my chest felt a little bit sour, mixed with willingness and reluctance. Among the complicated emotions, disappointment seemed to be even better.

Jiang Xiao opened his eyes, stared at the black shadow on the white paint on the wall and was silent for a moment, then said, "Whatever."

"You're still not happy." Shen Qing said in a low tone.

Jiang Xiao stared at the opaque wall with complicated eyes: "It's just a title, it's not necessary."

"Jiang Xiao."

"how?"

"Jiang Xiao," Shen Qing laughed mockingly, "You coward."

"Get out," Jiang Xiao said silently, and then borrowed his original words: "Don't label me indiscriminately."

"To be honest," Shen Qing changed the subject again: "When I went upstairs just now, I almost failed you for the reason you gave me to be nice to you."

"Really?" Jiang Xiao was not surprised by the expected answer: "How many points did you award?"

"6 points."

"10 out of [-]?"

"The extra point," Shen Qing counted very carefully, "it's for the sake of picking me up today."

"Then you have to add another point." Jiang Xiao was so childish, he smiled slightly, stretched out his foot and kicked Shen Qing's calf under the quilt: "Hey, the rice noodles cost 35 yuan, which is more expensive than the taxi fare .”

Shen Qing kicked Jiang Xiao back: "There is no point for that."

"why?"

"Your words don't count, you became a deserter," Shen Qing said, "It's offset by rice noodles."

"What about taking a bath?" Jiang Xiao was not reconciled.

"It was offset by your words of being a hooligan."

"Heh," Jiang Xiao laughed, and teased, "Mr. Shen, are you grading papers, or are you playing matchmaker?"

"You fail in everything I play."

"Then how do you pass?"

"I'll call you Brother Sheng," Shen Qing said without hesitation, "You should answer decisively."

"Fuck?" Jiang Xiao raised the corners of his mouth and said in a low voice, "You are really persistent."

"Don't you want to make up first?" Shen Qing turned her back to him: "I just want to get back what I deserve."

"Shen Qing, you say I'm narrow-minded," Jiang Xiao said with a faint smile, "Actually, you are the narrow-minded person."

"It doesn't matter." Shen was slightly annoyed, he lifted the quilt, sat up and was about to get out of bed.

With nothing around him, Jiang Xiao immediately turned around and grabbed Shen Qing's arm.

The familiar thick grip made Shen Qing's arm ache, he looked back at him, in the dark hut, Jiang Xiao's heavy eyes seemed to be breathing fire, which made Shen Qing stare...

I feel very happy.

"Just pretend to be sleepy," Jiang Xiao looked at him with a heavy face, "Since you're lying down, don't get up again."

Shen Qing looked at him without speaking.

He found that Jiang Xiao could always see through his thoughts, but he could never figure out what Jiang Xiao was thinking.
