round spring

I will go wherever Brother Chun goes.

——An Yuan's Diary

When the two went back, grandma was packing things, and when they entered the house, she pointed to the table and said, "You're hungry, it's been ready for a long time, go wash your hands and eat."

Grandma packed up her things and was going back to the village. May, June and July are busy farming seasons, and soybeans and various vegetables are still planted in the village garden. Grandma only comes to the town once a few days in these two months.

She wasn't worried about Shen Xingchun, she was mainly worried about An Yuan, but fortunately An Yuan was always a very worry-free child, she wouldn't run around at ordinary times, and would always be by Shen Xingchun's side.

Shen Xingchun put down his schoolbag, "Grandma, we will go back to clean up the garden with you this weekend."

Grandma picked up a canvas bag and said, "Don't go back, you two, it's only two days, there's not enough time to go back and forth, isn't it two weeks before the summer vacation, after the exam, you can take Xiaoyuan back. "

"Well, after the exam, I'll take Xiaoyuan back home. You don't have to pull the grass in the garden every day. Xiaoyuan and I will go back and help you."

Grandma smiled and said: "When you two go back, the grass will be as tall as a person, and there are not many, so I can do it alone."

Grandma looked at the watch on the wall. The car back to the village was coming soon. She told An Yuan a few more words, nothing more than not running around, not going to the river by herself, and being careful of catching cold.

He also asked Shen Xingchun to take good care of his younger brother, and to take An Yuan to the high school cafeteria for dinner when he was in school, and the two of them agreed one by one.

An Yuan helped grandma carry the bag in her hand, put her other arm around grandma's shoulder, and tilted her head on her shoulder coquettishly, "Grandma don't worry about me, I'm already old, don't worry, I will listen to my brother .”

Grandma smiled gratifiedly, "Time can't help it. In the blink of an eye, Xiao Yuan'er has grown taller than Grandma. You have to drink milk on time. She will grow taller, as tall as your brother."

"I want to be taller than my brother." An Yuan said this every time, he knew that he should not be taller than Shen Xingchun.

After eating, An Yuan and Shen Xingchun sat on the desk in the room to do the questions.

"Brother, my pen is out of water. Where's your pen? I'll use it."

"It's in my schoolbag." Shen Xingchun was doing the test paper with his head sullenly, and when he touched his schoolbag, he threw it to An Yuan.

After taking it, An Yuan opened the zipper and asked, "Which floor is your pen case on?"

Shen Xingchun didn't look up, "It's the middle floor."

An Yuan looked at Shen Xingchun's messy schoolbag and felt extremely disgusted. After flipping through it, he found a pen case sandwiched between the pages of a Chinese book, but there was no pen in the pen case.

An Yuan flipped through it again, "Your schoolbag is really messy, I don't know how to tidy it up properly, there are no pens in the pen case, where did you put your pens?"

"Xiao Yuan'er helped brother pack his schoolbag, it must be in the schoolbag." Shen Xingchun said naturally that An Yuan often packed his schoolbag.

Although An Yuan spoke with distaste, his hands moved neatly.

Just as he was about to pour out all the contents of Shen Xingchun's schoolbag, Shen Xingchun suddenly thought of something, he paused while doing his homework, grabbed the schoolbag in An Yuan's hand and put it on his lap, unzipped the zipper, and pulled the bag from the The innermost layer found a useless pen and handed it to An Yuan: "Here you are, use this."

An Yuan watched his movement of protecting his schoolbag, and knew that there were things in his schoolbag that he didn't want him to see, but the more Shen Xingchun didn't let him see it, the more he wanted to see it.

He leaned on Shen Xingchun's shoulder, and peeked hard along the zipper seam, "Is there anything in your schoolbag that I can't let me see?"

Shen Xingchun pushed An Yuan away from his shoulder, and said with a smile, "Of course it's something children can't see."

"What, I'm not a child anymore." An Yuan leaned closer again.

"I am still a child at eighteen, so you are not a child anymore?" Shen Xingchun said.

An Yuan was not happy anymore, she reached out and wanted to grab Shen Xingchun's schoolbag, "Brother, let me see, I won't be talking with you here, I'm not a kid anymore, I'm going to be fifteen soon."

"You are only fifteen in half a year."

"Oh, just show me what you can do?" Taking advantage of Shen Xingchun's relaxation, An Yuan snatched the schoolbag from his hand.

Shen Xingchun shook his hands, folded his arms and leaned on the desk, crossed his legs and said, "Look, look, I guess you've already read it."

An Yuan quickly found something like a newspaper, but it was not an ordinary newspaper. It was not written on it, but most of it was pictures. He knew what the pictures were at a glance, a man and a woman. , he hurriedly moved his eyes away, but didn't take them out.

He handed the schoolbag to Shen Xingchun, "Brother, what do you think of this?"

"It's not mine. Yu Yang stuffed it to me. I can't stay in school. It's not good for people to see it, so I put it in my schoolbag."

"Yu Yang looks honest, why is he like this? If you don't learn well, he won't learn well, and you will follow him if you don't learn well."

At this age, it is actually quite normal to look at small pictures, and they are both half-and-half years old, which is the time when they are curious and hazy.

An Yuan knew that many boys in the class had watched it, and some had watched the short film. They would secretly chat after class, and he had heard of it.

Everyone else was curious, but An Yuan was not.

But An Yuan looked at Shen Xingchun now, but he couldn't tell what it was like in his heart. Logically speaking, this kind of thing was normal, and besides, Shen Xingchun was four years older than him.

He suddenly thought of the girl in the classroom again, and asked, "Brother, are you in a relationship?"

"No, I don't talk about it in high school."

"Brother, what kind of girl do you like?"

Shen Xingchun thought for a while, and said truthfully: "I don't know either, I haven't met them, and I don't know what I like."

An Yuan asked again: "Have you never had one?"

"No, I don't think so much now. I just want to go to college next summer. It won't be too late to talk about it after I graduate from college and have a stable job."

An Yuan sat down on the stool with her head down, "Then if you have a partner in the future, won't we be able to live together?"

"Xiao Yuan'er will also have a partner in the future."

"I don't want a partner, I want to be with my brother." An Yuan said very stubbornly, and now he doesn't know what he is stubborn about.

An Yuan didn't know what the future would be like, but Shen Xingchun's words buried a small knot in his heart that couldn't be explained clearly, buried in an inadvertent place.

Shen Xingchun looked at An Yuan's thoughtful look, thinking that the little man was also curious, so he approached An Yuan, lowered his voice, and asked him mysteriously, "Xiao Yuan, what's the matter?"

An Yuan didn't understand, and asked, "What?"

"dream."

"Dreaming? I often dream, what's wrong with dreaming?" An Yuan still didn't understand.

Seeing his ignorant and frank appearance, Shen Xingchun knew that he hadn't, so he didn't continue to ask this topic.

It's right to think about it, if An Yuan was dreaming, and they lived together every day, he would definitely find out.

Xiaoyuan'er was still young, so Shen Xingchun didn't continue to ask this topic, but changed the topic, "It's nothing, I just asked casually, did you have a lot of homework this week? Is there anyone who doesn't?"

"I'm the first in the grade. I can't do it. Brother, you will be in the third year of high school soon. Have you decided which university to go to?"

Shen Xingchun didn't even think about it, "Beijing."

An Yuan continued his words and said, "I will also go to Beijing when the time comes, and I will find you."

"When you go, I'm almost graduating."

"It's okay after you graduate, I just live at your place."

"Okay, I will live with my brother then."

With Shen Xingchun's words, the inadvertent pimple in An Yuan's heart just now was wiped away in an instant.

Arm to arm, head to head, the two of them dreamed about their university life for a long time, and agreed to go to Beijing together.

In the end, it was far away after talking, and An Yuan even thought about her life ten years later.

An Yuan thought a lot, and the only thing that remained unchanged was——

Wherever Shen Xingchun went, he would go there.

He never thought of being separated from Shen Xingchun, his plans were all related to Shen Xingchun.

When An Yuan was sleeping at night, she couldn't fall asleep, and thought of the picture in Shen Xingchun's schoolbag.

He couldn't imagine what it would be like to fall in love with a girl before, and he can't imagine it now either. Just thinking about that kind of thing feels very unfriendly, and An Yuan thinks it shouldn't be like this.

At school, his state was completely different from that around Shen Xingchun and his grandparents. In school, he was indifferent to everyone, had no particularly close friends, and would keep a certain distance from everyone.

He is not gregarious, and he could still play with girls every day when he was a child, but now he knows that he needs to keep a little distance.

But as long as school is over, his heart is like being lit by someone.

He pulled the string of his own kite and flew to Shen Xingchun's side automatically.

Summer is very hot, and the rusty fan is creaking and spinning on the bookcase beside the bed, and a small cool breeze blows over, which cannot blow away the heat in the summer night cabin.

Behind the house was a shallow pond, the sound of frogs croaked constantly, and the mosquitoes outside the mosquito net kept buzzing, which made An Yuan a little restless.

Hearing the sound of turning back and forth, Shen Xingchun picked up the fan on the side and fanned An Yuan, "Is it too hot to sleep?"

An Yuan wiped the sticky sweat from his forehead, feeling uncomfortable, it was indeed too hot and unable to sleep.

Shen Xingchun pulled the pajamas on An Yuan's body, "You follow my brother's example, take off your shirt, and be shirtless. It's cool to be shirtless."

"I won't learn from you," An Yuan patted Shen Xingchun's hand away, "I don't even wear shorts in summer."

"Didn't I wear underpants? It's so hot."

"Then I won't learn from you either."

"Small attention to detail, there are so many things to do, why don't you go down and take a shower?"

An Yuan turned over and got up from the bed, "I'll go take a shower again."

"Don't use cold water, add some hot water from the water bottle." Shen Xingchun instructed.

"Understood." An Yuan lifted the mosquito net and sat on the edge of the kang to put on his shoes.

Shen Xingchun lay on the kang, poked his hand on the edge of the kang, "Do you want me to rub your back?"

"No need." An Yuan got off the kang and walked out quickly after putting on his shoes.

Shen Xingchun laughed a few times, "It's true that the older you get, the more particular you are. You were not allowed to rub when you were young, and you are not allowed to rub now."

"I'll just wash it, rub it, rub it, don't rub it." An Yuan's muttering voice came through the crack of the door

Shen Xingchun fanned himself with a fan, listening to the intermittent splashing of water outside the door.

Summer is very difficult for An Yuan. The winter here is very long and cold. Although the summer is short, it is not much cooler than in the south.

An Yuan still washed with cold water, used cold water to relax, and when he returned to the room, he found that Shen Xingchun had already fallen asleep, he was still holding a fan in his hand, resting on his stomach, and the dim moonlight hung quietly on the bridge of his straight nose.

After An Yuan got on the kang, he gently took the fan away from Shen Xingchun's hand, and accidentally touched the skin of Shen Xingchun's chest with his fingertips.

His brother's skin was hot and covered with a dense, wet layer of sweat.

The cold water just washed away the heat from An Yuan's body, and now there is another layer of heat that cannot be avoided.

The shower I just took was in vain.

An Yuan began to blame Shen Xingchun in her heart, quickly moved her fingers away, put the fan aside, tucked the mosquito net and fell asleep.

That night Anyuan had a dream, and the dream was very strange.

It was a dream he had never had before, his body seemed to be submerged in water, and his body was wrapped in water.

It seemed to be floating in nothingness, he could clearly hear his own heartbeat, his cheeks, and his newly grown Adam's apple, went up and down with the rough touch, and the pain was thin.

The fingers that touched Shen Xingchun's skin when he took off the fan at night were still very hot in the dream, very hot, the scorching heat that started from the fingers finally exploded in the body.

……

When he opened his eyes the next day, An Yuan stretched out his hand to touch it. His eyes widened and his legs tightened. When he realized what it was, his face turned red.

An Yuan was absent-minded for a long time, until he heard a grunt from Shen Xingchun's mouth, he opened his mouth halfway to look at Shen Xingchun.

"Xiao Yuan'er, woke up so early?" Shen Xingchun rubbed his eyes.

An Yuan sat up suddenly, picked up the clothes on the side, jumped off the kang, bent over and wanted to run out with bare feet.

Shen Xingchun grabbed his wrist: "Why are you running?"
