Brother President, open the door for me

"Brother, do you know that boys' heads can't be touched casually?"

"..."

How to do?

Jiang Zhu really didn't know.

It was just stroking his cousin's head, he didn't think about it at all, he felt that it was nothing to touch before, and it should be...not a big problem when he grows up?

What does Lu Xiangnan mean?

Why does his tone sound... so wrong.

Jiang Zhu didn't dare to look him in the eyes, as if he had really done something wrong, waiting for the trial.

"I'll go back first." Lu Xiangnan let go of Jiang Zhu, pushed aside the chair and stood up, and when he passed the sofa, he reached down with his long arms and threw his schoolbag over his shoulder.

Jiang Zhu glanced at the noodles in his bowl, turned his head and said to him, "Ah, uh... Nan Nan, how many mouthfuls of your noodles have you eaten? Are you not hungry? You..."

"Not hungry."

He was answered with a crisp sound of closing the door.

Why does it feel like... emotional?

What is this child angry about!

Is he doing something wrong?

Jiang Zhu turned his head in disappointment, staring down at the empty bowl with dull eyes.

Liang Xiaonian rolled his eyes, brought Lu Xiangnan's bowl of noodles in front of him, and started to eat with chopsticks. "It's fine if you don't eat, I'm not full in the cafeteria, I'll eat if I don't eat, cut!"

Originally, Lu Xiangnan made him unhappy, but now Jiang Zhu was amused by Liang Xiaonian's eating, "Xiaonian, wipe your mouth, look at you."

"Ah Brother Jiang, don't call me Xiaonian, call me Changchang instead. I will ask you to take care of me in the future."

"In that case, tell me, what's the matter with you?"

Liang Xiaonian was chewing happily. Hearing this, a large lump of noodles just stuffed into his mouth stopped in his cheeks, like a big meat ball.

He swallowed the noodles with difficulty, showing embarrassment, "Brother Jiang, you still have to ask..."

"Nonsense, please take care of me. I'm not even qualified to know what's going on with you?"

"..." Liang Xiaonian put down his chopsticks, put his arms crossed on the table, and reluctantly said: "My brother, my family is full of bad things, ugly things, nothing good, I can't even say it."

"Should I tell you or not? I can..." Jiang Zhu wanted to scare him, but suddenly saw several red marks on his neck.It's not very visible from the front, but the side of the face is very clear.

Knowing that he saw the slap print, Liang Xiaonian covered his neck in embarrassment and said nothing.

"What happened!" Jiang Zhu was very worried, "Who did you fight with? Where did you fight? With whom? Was it a classmate or..."

Before Jiang Zhu finished torturing Liang Xiaonian, he came from the truth: "Oh brother Jiang, it's not what you think, I'm a good boy, okay! How can I fight with others? Don't you know me? The cat has to hide behind you, where do I have the guts? It's actually... my dad."

That is true.

"Your dad beat you? Your own dad?!" Jiang Zhu almost broke his voice with excitement.

"I'm just one father, how can there be so many fathers?"

"You offended him?"

"Just..." Liang Xiaonian scratched the hair on the back of his head, "He likes to hit me as soon as he comes back from drinking, and he hits me very hard every time... One time he directly knocked me out, bleeding from the corner of his mouth..."

A person as gentle as Jiang Zhu is hardened now.

Is it still my father?

No, I should ask, is this fucking human?How could he be so cruel to his own son?

This is simply a beast!

"My mother was finally promoted the year before last, and then she was transferred to work in the provincial capital. Although she went out to work harder, it was a good thing. Otherwise, she would have to suffer with me when she was at home."

Jiang Zhu didn't understand why he could say these words in such a casual tone.

Maybe it's to bury your emotions in front of outsiders, or maybe it's just numbness from habit.

Behind the casualness, there must be infinite sadness and pain.

"But this old man never cares about me when he's not drinking," Liang Xiaonian continued, "It's just that he's drunk after dinner. What my mother means... is that if the old man goes out to drink at night, Brother Jiang You see, it’s not convenient for you here, kindly…take me to sleep?”

It's all about this, Jiang Zhu will do the same without him asking.

People's hearts are always fleshy.

"Unlucky boy," Jiang Zhu rubbed his eyebrows and sighed, "Hurry up and finish that bowl of noodles, don't waste it."

"But speaking of it, I just realized that Lu Xiangnan is quite good at cooking, and the noodles are really good." Liang Xiaonian "sucked and sucked" and smashed the last two noodles off, smashing his mouth contentedly.

After talking about the most unpleasant part, Jiang Zhu asked here and there again, what was eaten at school, how was the study, and how was the teacher.

During this period, Liang Xiaonian would pat his hands and shoulders naturally, but Jiang Zhu didn't feel anything.

Unlike Lu Xiangnan, even calling him "brother" can make him react.

It was almost the end of the chatter, and I went to the refrigerator to put some fruit for him before sending him back.

The empty room fell silent, Jiang Zhu was not in the mood to watch TV, and lay on the sofa wondering.

What happened to Lu Xiangnan today?

What did he do wrong?

He said that boys' heads should not be touched casually.

But Jiang Zhu remembered that not long ago, when he was jogging with him in the morning, he touched his head, and he didn't have such a reaction back then, did he?

How to touch Liang Xiaonian's head...

Jiang Zhu felt upset.

He thought about sending him a WeChat message directly, but he was afraid of disturbing his study, and it seemed a bit... mother-in-law.

After hesitating again and again, he gave up and clicked on the dialog box with Mo Zihan instead.

Based on what he knew about Mo Zihan, he would definitely be online before three o'clock in the morning.

【Z: Hanhan, what are you doing】

[Hanhan: Is the sun coming out from the west?I wish my brother would take the initiative to send me a message? ? ! 】

【Z: Wake up, it's midnight now, where does the sun come from? 】

[Hanhan: What's wrong?What are your orders?Little ones are all ears! 】

[Z: Can't you chat with old classmates without telling me? 】

[Z: Do you have time this weekend?Come out for a drink]

[Hanhan: Weekend?I may be busy...]

[Z: I'm so busy, I feel flustered every day, so who am I bluffing? 】

There's nothing wrong with being busy.

[Hanhan: Oh, I finally got an appointment with my brother Tiancai! !Just the weekend! !After waiting for so long, it's finally my turn!woo woo woo woo! ! ! 】

【Z: Can I go with you? 】

In normal times, Jiang Zhu would not want to make trouble with Mo Zihan, but today it was all because of his irritability, and he wanted to find a chance to vent.

[Hanhan: Ah! ! !Really! !I love you so much Wuli Zhugege! !Then at nine o'clock on Saturday night, see you Zitiao! ! ! ! 】

**

Because he didn't sleep well, Jiang Zhu woke up very early in the morning.He went down to take out the garbage and came back, just at the top of the stairs, he met the road going south from upstairs.

He was carrying a large black schoolbag on one shoulder, holding the shoulder strap with his left hand, and a piece of half-eaten bread with his right hand, with some bread crumbs on the corner of his mouth.

Jiang Zhu thought he would not meet him when he got up so early.

In fact, Lu Xiangnan didn't sleep well, tossing and turning all night, his mind was full of messy and unspeakable images.At 05:30, he finally couldn't take it anymore, threw the quilt to the toilet, flushed his face twice, and went straight to school.

He didn't expect to meet Jiang Zhu face to face like this.

"Uh..." Jiang Zhu planned to break the deadlock first, "Go to school so early?"

Lu Xiangnan paused for a moment, then gave a very soft "hmm", and made a gesture to walk away from him.

In Jiang Zhu's view, this is tantamount to a kind of cold violence.

He knew very well that if he just gave way to the south, he would definitely suffer all day.

"I'll take you to school." Jiang Zhu said.

Lu Xiangnan stopped on the same steps as him, his left foot was hanging in the air without falling, and he slowly retracted it.

He looked at Jiang Zhu, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes.

"Isn't your car broken? It shouldn't be fixed yet... right?"

In fact, he made up the fact that the car broke down, and it wasn't broken at all.

"Well, it's really not fixed, I'm going to walk."

Hearing that Lu Xiangnan's tone warmed up a bit, Jiang Zhu's tight strings finally let go, "It's so hot, and you still carry such a big bag, you're going to be exhausted, come with me in the car?"

"Okay, let's go with you."

Just thinking about sending him to school, I forgot that Chenghai is not open before 06:30, and it is useless for them to arrive early, so they can only park the car on the side of the road and wait.

unwise.

Lu Xiangnan grabbed the handle of the car, "I'll just go down and wait."

"You...you wait a moment." Jiang Zhu summoned up the courage to stop him.

"what?"

Jiang Zhu is such a person.When I have any conflicts or disputes with others, I really like to keep it in my heart. Even if it is embarrassing, I have to ask it face to face. It is best to resolve it in time, no matter who the other party is or whether they are familiar or not.

"What happened yesterday? Why did you leave after eating half of the noodles? Wasn't it fine before?"

Lu Xiangnan remained silent.

"What did you mean by that last word?"

He still didn't answer.

"What happened to Liang Xiaonian?" Jiang Zhu immediately raised his tone, "...Are you angry?"

"Yes, I'm angry." Lu Xiangnan didn't hide anything, "I'm just angry."

Jiang Zhu couldn't fix it anymore, "Why are you angry?"

"Brother, can I have a discussion with you?" Lu Xiangnan turned his body around and faced Jiang Zhu, "You just touch my head from now on, okay?"

Jiang Zhu was completely stunned there.

He didn't know what the special meaning of "touching the head" was, and he didn't know what it meant to Lu Xiangnan, he only knew that facing this face, he would only compromise.

"Hey, what did I think..." Jiang Zhu pretended to be relaxed and said, "Come on, stick your head over here."

Lu Xiangnan hung his head a little aggrieved, his hair was not combed in the morning, and there were several dull hairs standing on end, like a puppy.

Jiang Zhu gently smoothed the puppy's fur, his movements were very gentle.

He was embarrassed to knead hard.

Lu Xiangnan didn't seem to enjoy being touched, so he pressed his head against his palm and rubbed it hard a few times before giving up.

"Brother, be careful on the road."

Jiang Zhu didn't take the time to respond to him, nor did he hear the sound of him closing the door, just staring at his red palms dully.
