you put the knife down and talk
Chapter 21 Cheng Ji's Drunk Records
Cheng Ji hadn't slept so deeply for a long time, and it felt like 1 years had passed in his drowsiness.He opened his eyelids with difficulty, the room was pitch black, but very warm, and there was the long breathing of someone beside him.
He tried his best to recall what happened before he fell asleep, it seemed that he drank three glasses of red wine...
Cheng Ji wanted to sit up, but he felt weak all over, and Gao Zhan was woken up by his struggling movements.
The bedside lamp was turned on by someone, Gao Zhan rubbed his eyes and sat up, leaned sleepily on the head of the bed and stared at Cheng Ji, it took a long time before he said in a hoarse voice: "What are you doing?"
"It's a bit hot..." Cheng Ji looked at Gao Zhan's sleepy eyes and said in a daze.
"Then don't cover yourself with the quilt." Gao Zhan stretched out his hand to lift off the quilt on Cheng Ji's side. When his hand touched Cheng Ji's neck, Gao Zhan reacted a bit, it was a little hot.
Gao Zhan's hand was always cold all year round, touching Cheng Ji's neck relieved Cheng Ji's almost hot state, and said unconsciously: "It's quite comfortable for you to touch me."
"Comfortable ghost, you have a fever." Gao Zhan touched Cheng Ji's cheek and forehead for a long time, it was very hot, he clicked his tongue, and got out of bed with bare feet, "I'll go get a thermometer."
It would be midnight, Wei Yulan and Gao Gao were both asleep, Gao Zhan searched for a long time but couldn't find the thermometer, so he took a bottle of white wine from the cabinet, found another towel, and went back to bed. "I can't find a thermometer and medicine, let's use white wine to cool you down first."
Gao Zhan knelt on the bed, looked at Cheng Ji who was lying there blinking innocently, then simply unscrewed the bottle of white wine and poured it on the towel.The strong aroma of wine fermented from sorghum filled the entire bedroom in an instant. Before Cheng Ji could say anything, Gao Zhan slapped the towel soaked in white wine to his neck.
"I feel like throwing up when I smell the wine now." Cheng Ji said truthfully.
"Who would have thought that you can drink so badly," Gao Zhan said unhappily, "you still have a fever after drinking too much."
Cheng Ji tried his best to recall what he had done these past few days - his irregular meals were mostly snacks and fruits, he went to bed at two or three in the middle of the night and went to class the next day as usual.He grinned a little guilty, "I haven't slept well recently..."
"It's so desperate to save a wife, you want to marry a fairy!" Gao Zhan said, and wiped his neck with a towel.
Cheng Ji was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "You care about my wife Ben?"
Gao Zhan stopped the movement of his hand for a moment, and then said fiercely: "Who cares, what does your wife have to do with me!"
"Who said it has nothing to do with you?" Cheng Ji said softly.
The dim light rendered the warm room quiet and profound. Gao Zhan and Cheng Ji's gazes shifted, suppressing the undercurrents and wild waves in their respective hearts, turning them into unspeakable teenagers' thoughts.Just like the faint light in the house, it will eventually converge the light.
It took a long time for Gao Zhan to continue wiping Cheng Ji, and when pouring white wine again, he hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and took a sip.
"Drinking white wine in the middle of the night?" Cheng Ji asked.
The light was dim, and Gao Zhan couldn't see the expression on his side face clearly, only the water in the corner of his eyes could be seen.Gao Zhan lowered his head, "I'm thirsty, can't I?"
Cheng Ji didn't expose him, and rarely said anything, let Gao Zhan put the wet towel on his forehead, and then pulled Gao Zhan, "Don't do it, I don't feel too bad, I think the fever will subside when I get up tomorrow."
Gao Zhan looked at him, "Really?"
"When have I lied to you?" Cheng Ji forced a smile.
Gao Zhan was not at ease. He, Gao Gao, and Wei Yulan rarely got sick, and at most they caught a cold when the season changed.But after he thought about it, Cheng Ji was in good health, maybe it was because he was tired during this period, and he had a fever after drinking too much.Anyway, I can't find the medicine at night, so I can go to bed first and then watch it in the morning.
He went to check the temperature of Cheng Ji's neck again, and his hands were so cold that Cheng Ji shrank his neck subconsciously.
"What are you hiding from?" "Why are your hands so cold?" The two asked at the same time.
"It's always been like this," Gao Zhan said, "Go to sleep first, call me when you feel uncomfortable."
Cheng Ji nodded, and when Gao Zhan turned off the light and lay down, and the room was dark again, Cheng Ji said: "My body is warm."
"Ok?"
"Come here, I'll cover you."
Seeing that he was like this, Gao Zhan wanted to cover his hands for him, and said angrily: "There is something wrong with you."
"Stop making trouble," Cheng Ji turned sideways, holding Gao Zhan's cold hand, "Go to sleep."
For a long time, neither of them fell asleep. In the darkness, Cheng Ji suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where's my cake?"
Gao Zhan, who was so sleepy but couldn't sleep because his hands were held by Cheng Ji, was throbbing in his temples, thinking about cake no matter what time it was!For the sake of Chengji's illness, Gao Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "I'll keep it for you."
"That's good," Cheng Ji quietly approached Gao Zhan again, "I haven't eaten a bite..."
"When you recover from illness, no one will stop you from eating as much as you want." Gao Zhan said fiercely.
After waiting for a while, no one responded. When Gao Zhan thought that Cheng Ji had fallen asleep again, Cheng Ji put his head to Gao Zhan's ear and said in a muffled voice, "You guys make me feel like I have a home."
"Thank you."
Although Cheng Ji didn't have time to eat that big cake, he knew it must be very sweet and delicious; he didn't have time to wear all the clothes Wei Yulan bought for him, but he knew they must look good and fit well.They gave him everything he wanted.
But Chengji wanted to be a little more greedy.
After Cheng Ji finished speaking, he fell back into a deep sleep. Hearing Cheng Ji's irregular and unobstructed breathing, after a while, he gently held Cheng Ji's hand back.
When Gao Zhan woke up the next day, the first thing he did was to touch Cheng Ji's forehead, but the fever hadn't subsided, and he seemed to be hotter than last night.
He went out of the room and started rummaging through boxes and cabinets again. Gao Gao came out of his bedroom yawning, looked at Gao Zhan as if he was about to tear down the house, and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"Thermometer, antipyretics." Gao Zhan said.
"The thermometer was broken by my mother a while ago, and the antipyretics... if there are any, they must have expired," Gao Gao recalled carefully, "Who has a fever?"
"Cheng Ji." Gao Zhan said.
Gao Gao let out a cry, and walked towards Gao Zhan's room, asking as he walked, "Didn't he just drink too much, why is he still having a fever?"
The two of them came to Chengji's bed one after the other, watching him sleeping soundly, they both looked worried.Wei Yulan got up and couldn't find her son or daughter anywhere. When she came over to take a look, she saw Gao Zhan and Gao Gao standing beside the bed with sad expressions on their faces.
"Is Chengji still awake?" Wei Yulan asked.
"He has a fever," Gao Zhan said, putting on a sweater, "I'll go downstairs to the pharmacy to buy medicine."
Cheng Ji woke up again, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his uncle's infinitely magnified face stuck in front of his eyes, which shocked him, and even made him much more energetic when he was ill.
"Why are you here?" Cheng Ji glanced at Gao Zhan himself, and asked.
Cheng Yijun looked gloating, "I'll come to see you, eldest nephew, Gao Zhan and the others are all going to school, so send me a WeChat message and ask me to come and see you, no, I'll come over as soon as I get off work." Cheng Yijun raised his hand, wanting Cheng Ji to show off the shirt he hadn't had time to change.
"You have a fever after drinking a few glasses of wine, you're really good," Cheng Yijun scolded, "Gao Zhan said that you haven't eaten and slept well these days, and you are not good at all. Your fever has a lot to do with your staying up late and irregular work and rest. The relationship, you rest ah!"
"Understood." Cheng Ji said, he touched his forehead, it was warm, as if the fever had subsided.
"What have you been up to lately," Cheng Yijun asked, "Don't tell me you're busy studying. I've never seen you stay up late because of studying since I was a child."
"I've taken over a few translation jobs, and I'm in a hurry." Cheng Ji said.
"Lack of money?" Cheng Yijun said as he was about to use his mobile phone to transfer money to Cheng Ji.
"No," Cheng Ji stopped him, "It wouldn't hurt to exercise more now."
After hearing this, Cheng Yijun smiled and said, "You must have someone you like."
Cheng Ji didn't say a word, Cheng Yijun didn't know much about Cheng Ji's appearance, but he probably agreed to it, "I want to ask how I know? You were like this when you were a child. When you came across something you liked, you had to save your pocket money and buy it. Now It seems that you do the same with people you like."
Cheng Ji smiled: "Yes, otherwise how can I prove that I like it?"
Cheng Yijun shook his head, "Anyway, I can't understand."
"Of course you won't understand." Cheng Ji leaned against the head of the bed, looking at Gao Zhan's lying position, "I haven't felt happy for a long time, so this time I have to fight for it myself."
From being taken away from his grandfather by Chengjie's parents to the death of his grandfather, Cheng Ji gradually lost the whole world, wandering around like an empty shell every day.The appearance of Gao Zhan brought him back to this real world full of fireworks and warmth.
"You looked cheerful since you were a child, and your thoughts are heavier than anyone else." Cheng Yijun got up from the bed and straightened his clothes. "You have ideas and abilities. The future is promising, so I won't say anything more. Just pay attention to your body, remember to call me if you have a headache, I am a doctor after all."
"Don't worry," Cheng Ji nodded, "You also have a good rest, uncle."
"Let's go." Cheng Yijun rubbed Cheng Ji's head and left the room.
—
In school, looking at the mobile phone with no news, Gao Zhan was restless.He had never been so worried about anyone, and his emotions were all written on his face.
During recess, Chen He wandered in through the back door somehow, and swaggered into Cheng Ji's seat next to Gao Zhan.
Gao Zhan was holding the phone when there was movement around him. He looked over and thought it was Cheng Ji, but it turned out to be Chen He. The surprise dissipated in an instant, and his expression remained expressionless: "Why are you here?"
"No way, you don't welcome me that much?" Chen He smiled, and looked closely at Gao Zhan, "Who do you think? Cheng Ji?"
Gao Zhan ignored him.
"Why didn't he come today?" Chen He asked.
"I have a fever." Gao Zhan said.
"Ah, then should I go and visit, we are all good friends." Chen He said.
"Forget it, he got sicker when you went there." For some reason, as dull as Gao Zhan, he could feel Cheng Ji's faint hostility towards Chen He.
"Alright then," Chen He nodded, "I hope he gets better soon, and we can still play together."
Li Ya, who had been sitting in front all the time, turned his head to look at Chen He: "What made you have the illusion that you played well with them?"
As soon as Chen He saw Li Ya, he rushed up and gave him a hug, "You traitor, let me be alone in class [-], and you will continue to be class leader in class [-], and you will have a bright future!"
Li Ya and Chen He are in the same class. They didn't go to the college entrance examination and stayed in the first grade of their ideal university. They are in the [-]th class and the [-]th class with Chen He.
"Where do you see my beauty?" Li Ya patted him and said.
"The people in our class know how to study, and they are so boring. Take a look at Gao Zhan and Cheng Ji in your class. They are very interesting. Isn't it wonderful to play with them?" Chen He said.
Li Ya was fed up with his vexatious energy, pushed him back to his seat, turned back by himself, and left Chen He with a merciless back.Chen He curled his lips, and pestered Gao Zhan again, "I don't care, I'll be in your class."
"Whatever you want." Gao Zhan looked at his paper and ignored him.
As a result, Chen He really stayed in their class for a whole day, and no teacher could drive him away. In the end, the head teacher of Class [-] sent the little old lady nicknamed "God of War" to Class [-] to personally take Chen He away. The river dragged it along.
When leaving, Chen He didn't forget to remind Gao Zhan to help him take care of Cheng Ji.
When Gao Zhan came home, Cheng Ji had already left. Not only did he leave, but he also took away the sheets and quilts on the bed. Wei Yulan, who watched TV at home and took care of Cheng Ji, said that she stopped, but she didn't. I took the things to myself and washed them.
Gao Zhan didn't say anything, took out two lunch boxes, packed yesterday's dishes and cakes, and was going to find Cheng Ji.
When Wei Yulan saw it, he let out a sigh, "Is this going to be another birthday with Cheng Ji?"
Gao Zhan coughed unnaturally, "No, he hasn't eaten this cake yet..."
He went over with the lunch box, and through the door, he heard the roar of the range hood inside. Gao Zhan immediately opened the door with the key, and saw Cheng Ji standing in the kitchen frying something.
There was no billowing smoke and no burnt smell, so Gao Zhan felt relieved.He walked over and tried to touch Cheng Ji's forehead, but Cheng Ji grabbed his hand, "I've already had a fever, don't worry."
Gao Zhan frowned and pulled out his hand, and glanced at Cheng Ji's pot, where rice was being fried.
"I don't know how to do advanced ones, so I'll fry some rice for you," Cheng Ji smiled, "It's hard work for you to take care of me."
"You fried rice really to reward me?" Gao Zhan asked suspiciously.There may be a gap between being able to eat and being delicious, and he doesn't think that what Cheng Ji makes can bridge this gap.
"You'll know after you try it." Cheng Ji turned off the fire, took out the fried rice, and brought it to Gao Zhan.
Gao Zhan looked at the golden-yellow rice in the bowl, it smelled like fried curry, he tasted it, and the taste was not bad, for a person like Cheng Ji who had almost blown up the kitchen, it was already very good.
"Delicious." Gao Zhan said.
He really didn't expect that one day he would be able to eat the rice cooked by Cheng Ji.
"The cake is also delicious, I really like it, thank you." Cheng Ji said.
"You are so polite," Gao Zhan finished the rice, and took out two digital candles from nowhere, "I bought them at the gate of the school. Light them to make a wish for you."
"Okay." Cheng Ji smiled, and together with Gao Zhan inserted the candle on the cake, the golden number candle "18", after being lit, the candle flame flickered.
"Make a wish." Gao Zhan urged him.
Cheng Ji was not in a hurry, he watched the candles burn for a while, and said: "When my grandfather celebrated my birthday when I was young, I always gave him a wish. I haven't had a birthday in the past few years, and I have saved a lot. Give you a few."
"We made a wish together. If we have the same wishes, it may be better realized."
Gao Zhan looked at Cheng Ji's eyes behind the lens, deep and gentle, allowing him to sink into them easily.The fire light trembled slightly on the side of Cheng Ji's face, making his profile even more charming.
"Okay." Gao Zhan nodded.
Both of them closed their eyes, thinking about the gushing love in their hearts, they seemed to be talking about their own wishes, and seemed to read each other's thoughts.
When blowing out the candles, both Gao Zhan and Cheng Ji stood up slightly and moved forward. When the candles were extinguished, their noses also rubbed together.
When sitting back, Gao Zhan touched his nose, turned his head away from Cheng Ji, Cheng Ji naturally dug a piece of cake with a spoon, and handed it to Gao Zhan's mouth.
Gao Zhan frowned in disgust, then opened his mouth to eat, and said after eating, "Where are you coaxing the little girl?"
—
Chengji's birthday just passed, and Gao Zhan came to his house almost every night to supervise him. He went to bed before twelve o'clock, and his food was much healthier, because Gao Zhan said that if he found out that Cheng Ji ordered takeout, he would beat his legs. broken.
After the manuscript fee arrived, Cheng Ji asked Gao Gao to see what skin care products Miss Wei used. After discussing with his female classmates, he gave Wei Yulan a skin care product that mainly focuses on anti-wrinkle and anti-aging.Wei Yulan was overwhelmed with excitement, and took advantage of Cheng Ji's payment of the manuscript fee to celebrate again.
The days are lived like this every day. When I go to school, the days are short and the nights are long, and the weekends are short and long.
This year's first snow fell on a weekend, and the curtains in Gaozhan's room were so tightly drawn that it was hard to tell whether it was day or night.There was a slight knock at the door, and two people tiptoed into Gao Zhan's bedroom, approaching a little bit, and then they pushed each other for a long time, and finally one of them made a move on Gao Zhan.
During Gao Zhan's sleep, he felt someone put his hand into his quilt, and then there was a biting cold from his neck to his chest. He let out a low cry, and turned over from the bed and sat up.
"Who?!"
Gao Gao and Cheng Ji rushed out of the room.
"Cheng Ji, I'll kill you!" Gao Zhan crawled from the head of the bed to the end of the bed and chased him out.
The world outside was covered in white, and the sky was brightly illuminated. Gao Zhan, Gao Gao, and Cheng Ji rushed into the snow. Gao Zhan knocked Cheng Ji down under a tree, and kicked Cheng Ji hard. Click on that tree.
Gao Gao couldn't breathe from laughing at the side, Gao Zhan came to grab her again, "Why, didn't you have your share just now?"
Gao Gao shouted "Cheng Ji help me" while running.
Cheng Ji came out of the snowdrift, shaking the snow off his hat, with "I can't save anyone" written all over his face.
In the end, the battle ended with Gao Zhan, Gao Gao, and Cheng Ji all falling into the snow.
"You young people are so energetic." Chen He came over at some point, dragging a suitcase in his hand, and a cool and good-looking boy was beside him.
"Chen He!" Sitting high in the snow, he raised his hand to throw the snow on Chen He.
"Hey, Gao Gao," Chen He took a mouthful of snow, and said helplessly, "Usually you are quite mature..." Then he looked at Gao Zhan and Cheng Ji who were also relatively mature , both of them were sitting on the ground covered in snowflakes.
"This is Su Tang," Chen He introduced, "This is Gao Zhan, the one who beat Dai Zitong; Cheng Ji, who took the first place in the exam with me; Gao Zhan's younger sister."
"Su Tang, is that the senior who was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts?" Gao Gao blinked, "I saw you at the awards ceremony."
Gao Zhan also has an impression of the name Su Tang, one is that Gao Gao mentioned it before, and the other is that Chen Heyong is on the lips.
Seeing the senior he admired, Gao Gao hurriedly crawled out of the snow, "Well, I thought you were amazing at the time, can I add you on WeChat?"
Gao Gao and Su Tang had a very happy chat. Gao Zhan got up from the snow, turned around and gave Cheng Ji a hand. Just as he was about to say something, the owner of the mahjong parlor in the community came over in a hurry. When he saw Gao Zhan, he said: " Oh, I found you, I called you just now and you didn't answer!"
Gao Zhan glanced at Gao Gao, and pulled the owner of the mahjong parlor aside, "What's wrong?"
"There is a man who is said to be Yulan's husband and your father, who is making trouble at Yulan's noodle restaurant. Why don't I call you now!" the mahjong restaurant owner said anxiously.
"What?" Gao Zhan didn't react for a while, "Is it crazy?"
"I don't know. Yulan looks like she really knew that man. Anyway, go and see if you want to call Gao Gaoyi." "Don't call her!" Gao Zhan interrupted the owner of the mahjong parlor. , "Don't tell her."
The owner of the mahjong parlor nodded in confusion, "Then go and have a look..."
Gao Zhan walked towards the gate of the community, Cheng Ji followed him, stretched out his hand and gave him a hand, "Is it really your father?"
"I don't know," Gao Zhan said, "I don't have a father either."
Cheng Ji followed Gao Zhan to the door of Wei Yulan's noodle restaurant, and heard the sound of smashing things from inside, Gao Zhan rushed over, only to see that the restaurant was in a mess, Wei Yulan was standing outside holding a chair as if to throw it little man.
"Get out, don't dirty my land!" Wei Yulan shouted sharply, her well-coordinated hair was loosened, her face was flushed, and her eyes were bloodshot.
Gao Zhan went up to support Wei Yulan, then looked at the man.
In his memory, he no longer had the slightest impression of that person, and Wei Yulan never kept a picture of that person.But after so many years, Gao Zhan can still recognize the man at a glance, the one who abandoned them and disappeared without a trace more than ten years ago.
"Mom, did he hit you?" Gao Zhan helped Wei Yulan straighten her hair, trembling with anger.
"You are Xiaozhan," the man said, "you have grown up so much over the years."
"You haven't died after all these years." Gao Zhan looked at the man coldly.
"You child, why are you talking to your own father!" The man suddenly raised his voice, as if he wanted to educate Gao Zhan.
"You dare to call my son?! Gao Fuliang! If you dare to call my son's old lady, I will fight you hard today!" Before Gao Zhan could say anything, Wei Yulan became anxious, baring her teeth and claws in Gao Zhan's arms, eager to rush over and pinch her Gao Fuliang died.
"You haven't educated your child well and why don't you let me say it?" Gao Fuliang snorted disdainfully, and when he wanted to say something more, he received a solid punch on the jaw, and a tall and strong middle-aged man was hit by Gao Zhan fell to the ground.
"Let me ask you, did you meet my mother just now?" Gao Zhan looked down at the man and stepped on his kneecap with one foot.
The man howled, but still insisted: "I'm her man, what's wrong with me touching her, ah—"
Gao Zhan gave the man two more punches, "Are you a man too?"
"I didn't touch her! I didn't touch her!" Gao Fuliang finally gave in, "She hit me with a chair before I even said a word, and I didn't do anything at all!"
"I want to smash you to death!" Wei Yulan rushed from behind, pointed at Gao Fuliang and cursed.
Cheng Ji comforted Wei Yulan from the side.
"You went out to do business and thought that if you became a big boss, you would not want a wife or children. Do you know how much Gao Zhan and Gao Gao have been wronged? When Gao Zhan was not as tall as the stove, he stood on a stool for Gao Gao. It's time to eat! We managed to live a good life, and you want to come back after you pay all the money, you can make your spring and autumn dream! It's good that you come back, now we will divorce with the marriage certificate!"
Wei Yulan roared hysterically, tears streaming out uncontrollably.
Gao Zhan came over and hugged Wei Yulan, "Mom, it's okay, don't cry..."
"I really want to come back to make up for you..."
"Go away." Gao Zhan said.
"I......"
Gao Zhan roared: "I said, get out, and never appear in front of our eyes!"
The man rolled and scrambled up from the ground and ran out. Gao Zhan hugged Wei Yulan and made her lie on top of him and cry loudly.Cheng Ji silently tidied up the small noodle shop, arranging and putting away the chairs, chopsticks, and seasoning jars scattered on the floor.
Wei Yulan cried for a while, Gao Zhan helped her to sit down, turned around and went into the kitchen to cook two bowls of noodles, and brought one bowl to Wei Yulan, coaxing in a rare low voice: "Mom, eat something, go shopping after eating Go shopping and play mahjong."
Seeing Wei Yulan start eating, Gao Zhan brought another bowl of noodles to Cheng Ji, "Don't clean up, eat first." They didn't eat anything when they woke up early, he was full of gas just now, and now his chest was filled with nausea.
Cheng Ji and Gao Zhan sat down facing each other, looking at the bowl of noodles, neither of them moved.Over there, Wei Yulan devoured a bowl of noodles, wiped her face clean, combed her hair again, and then stood up: "I'm going to play mahjong with them. If I don't win a thousand or eight hundred today, it will be hard to end!"
After Wei Yulan left, Gao Zhan's tense expression relaxed, his eyes were red, and he was lying on the table without energy.
"Cheng Ji, why is my father that kind of person..."
"He disappeared when I was very young, and my mother never mentioned him, so I secretly wondered what he was like. When I was young, I thought he might be some kind of secret agent and went on a mission. If he always When he doesn't show up, I can think he's dead or something, but he shows up, just like that."
Gao Zhan's voice was hoarse and weeping.
"Gao Gao used to always ask where my father went and what kind of father he was like. If she knew, how sad she would be."
He raised his hand and scratched his hair, Cheng Ji saw his resentful and powerless look, his heart was clenched together.
"Gao Gao has you, you are the most powerful elder brother in the world," Cheng Ji rubbed Gao Zhan's hair, and said, "He has been away for more than ten years, and he is irrelevant to you, don't just because He affects you."
"I'm not good, I didn't protect my mother well." Gao Zhan huddled on the chair, tears rolling in his eyes.
Cheng Ji sat down beside him, opened his hands, "Come and hug."
He hugged Gao Zhan and gently kneaded the back of Gao Zhan's neck, "Don't worry about crying, I'm here, I'll block you, no one can see the most powerful Gao Zhan crying."
"You're going to die." Gao Zhan nestled in Cheng Ji's arms, crying.
When Gaozhan was almost relieved, the bowl of noodles was almost lumpy, but Cheng Ji and Gaozhan still finished it together.After eating the noodles, Cheng Ji asked, "Do you want to tell Gao Gao about this?"
Gao Chan nodded: "Say, I should tell her."
—
At night, Gao Gao gently closed the door, and Gao Zhan asked, "Mom is asleep?"
Gao Gao nodded, and then the two quietly went to Cheng Ji's side together.Because Gao Zhan told Cheng Ji that he would break his leg if he ordered takeaway, so Gao Zhan ordered all the barbecues at the table in the middle of the night. Besides the barbecue, there was also a bottle of white wine, which was left over from Cheng Ji's fever reduction that time.
"What's the game today?" Gao Gao looked at Gao Zhan's expression was not very good, and combined with his mother's mood today, he had some ideas in his heart.
"Today, Gao Fuliang, our father, came to the noodle shop to find his mother." Gao Zhan said.
Gao Gao froze for a moment, "And then?"
"He said that he left Hong Kong City because of business. He didn't hear from him because he felt sorry for us. He lost all his money and wanted to stay with us to make up for us..."
"You're fooling around." Before Gao Zhan could finish speaking, Gao Gao said indifferently, "I lost all my money and wanted to come back to find my wife and children. He had a pretty good idea. You didn't beat him!"
Gao Gao's reaction surprised Gao Zhan, he nodded, "I beat you."
"It's no wonder mom is so depressed today, it's because of him," Gao Gao frowned, "Why didn't you tell me then, if you dared to make my mom sad, I would have beat him up with you if I had known!"
"I thought, you've been thinking..."
"I want to have a father, but I won't be foolish enough to recognize someone who doesn't want us anymore, and I won't recognize someone who makes my mother and brother sad!" Gao Gao said.
"So brother," Gao Gao held Gao Zhan's shoulders and let him look at himself, "I've grown up too, you don't have to carry it yourself if you have anything, with me and Cheng Ji, the three of us can handle it." It’s not a problem to face it together, is it?”
"Yeah." Gao Zhan took a deep breath, leaned against Gao Gao's forehead, and hugged his sister.
"Okay, don't let the atmosphere be so heavy, okay?" Gao Gao clapped his hands, "The barbecue is so fragrant, it should be cold after putting it on, and pour the wine too. Chengji, last time you said you didn't have a good rest, so you only poured three glasses Now, don't you go to bed early recently, do you want to try?"
Cheng Ji glanced at Gao Zhan, then nodded, "I think it's okay."
Gao Zhan laughed.
After two rounds of games, Cheng Ji was so poured by Gao Gao that he couldn't sit still. He leaned on Gao Zhan and poured wine.
"You drank too much again." Gao Zhan said.
"I haven't, it's impossible," Cheng Ji said, "My brain is very clear."
"Everyone who drinks too much says that." Gao Zhan let him lean on him and had a drink with Gao Gao.
"I really didn't drink too much." Cheng Ji sat up straight while supporting the table, and then patted the high cup, "Go, help me get my pen, ink, paper and inkstone... If there is no inkstone, just take a pen, ink, paper, I want to write."
"What kind of words do you write, just stay honest." Gao Zhan said.
"I can write," Cheng Ji said, "The preface to the Lanting Collection was written by Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher, after he drank too much. He wrote twenty different characters for 'Zhi' throughout the book, and he couldn't write any more after he sobered up. , eternity, are all born in an instant.”
"He is Wang Xizhi." Gao Zhan said.
Cheng Ji tugged at his sleeve and shook it, "Hold it for me...I want to write."
In the past, Gao Zhan admired Cheng Ji's versatility, but after drinking too much, the versatile Cheng Ji is too annoying.
"Where are those things?" Gao Zhan asked.
Cheng Ji pointed to a room, "It's in the study."
Gao Zhan went to the study room, and Cheng Ji followed him in. There were three Gao Gao's summer holidays in it, full of books. "Here, I bought it myself, and the rest are left to me by my grandfather," Cheng Ji introduced with gestures, "My grandfather has a lot of books..."
"Your grandfather is very powerful." Gao Zhan said.
"You are also very good." Cheng Ji said leaning on his body.
Gao Zhan glanced at him, "I don't have that many achievements."
Hearing this, Cheng Ji raised his hand, shook his index finger, then pointed at Gao Zhan and then at himself, "No, you are the most powerful in my heart."
After finishing speaking, his body swayed for a while, but fortunately Gao Zhan caught him quickly.
"Don't mess around if you drink too much," Gao Zhan looked up at the bookshelf, "Where are those things?"
"The leftmost bookshelf is on the fifth floor. The ones on the left are filled with ink, and then there are pens and paper..." Cheng Ji spoke intermittently, his head had already dropped to Gao Zhan's shoulders, and his glasses had slipped off the bridge of his nose.
Gao Gao waited in the living room, and after a while, he saw Gao Zhan half dragged and half hugged Cheng Ji out, still holding the things Cheng Ji said in his hand.
Gao Zhan spread out the paper and stuffed the pen into Cheng Ji's hand.
"Can he really write a stunning masterpiece? I'm looking forward to it." He held up the mobile phone video.
When Gao Zhan saw Gao Gao's video, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, "He will regret it when he wakes up."
Cheng Ji turned a deaf ear to their videos and conversations, sat cross-legged on the ground alone, pushed twice but couldn't find his own glasses, pushed the air twice.He looked at the spread rice paper drunkenly, took up some ink, and then picked up a pen to drop a smear of thick ink on the rice paper.
"Raise your glass and look at the blue sky with white eyes, as bright as a jade tree before the wind."
"Give it to Gao Zhan Gao Gao."
Gao Zhan didn't expect Chengji's handwriting to be very good, and he didn't expect that he could write well after drinking too much. Some erratic strokes conveyed a sense of madness.
"I think we should all live a little more freely and happily." Cheng Ji accurately touched the glasses, took them off and put them on the tea table. I don't know if it was because of drunkenness, but his long eyelashes were wet and there were circles under his eyes. It is also red.
"Life doesn't have so many answers and tutorials, so let's make ourselves happy, and leave the rest to time and growth." Cheng Ji held Gao Zhan and Gao Gao's hands, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said, "F Lloyd said..."
Gao Zhan and the others were quite moved by what Cheng Ji said, but Cheng Ji changed his style of painting and began to talk about Freud.
The hand holding the mobile phone high was shaking, and he couldn't hold the mobile phone with a smile. Gao Zhan also listened to Cheng Ji's nonsense helplessly, feeling that educated people are different if they drink too much.Ordinary people drink too much except to vomit and brag, talking about how awesome they are; Chengji starts to chatter when he drinks too much, from Freud to Stanislavsky, saying that his brain is only 30.00% in a state of drunkenness, And 70.00% is awake.
"Oh," Gao Zhan said, "Then why don't you control yourself with the 70.00% of your sobriety? Can it beat the 30.00%?"
When Cheng Ji was asked, he shook his head, which probably meant that 70.00% did not want to answer this question.
Later, Gao Zhan asked Cheng Ji to go to bed first. Cheng Ji said nothing, insisted on staying with Gao Zhan and Gao Gao, and the three of them just had another conversation.Gao Gao was ready to leave after drinking and eating. Before leaving, she took a look at Cheng Ji, and then asked Gao Zhan: "Is it okay for you to deal with him alone?"
Gao Zhan waved his hand, "Go to sleep."
Gao Gao nodded, then raised his phone, "The video has been sent to you."
After sending Gao Gao away, Gao Zhan faced the drunk Cheng Ji alone, and the two sat facing each other with their knees touching.
"Cheng Ji," Gao Zhan gently raised Cheng Ji's chin with his fingers, hooked it, "It's annoying when you're awake, it's annoying when you drink too much, it's annoying when you have a fever, are you ever not annoying? "
"Who bothers me?" Cheng Ji looked up at Gao Zhan.
"Gao Zhan."
Cheng Ji shook his head immediately, "Impossible, Gao Zhan won't bother me..."
"How do you know that he won't bother you?" Gao Zhan let out a sigh of distress, "He annoys you the most. He thinks you are pestering him, making him less lonely and making him feel different every day. It all makes sense."
Gao Zhan also drank a lot of wine, his eyes were watery, he looked at
He tried his best to recall what happened before he fell asleep, it seemed that he drank three glasses of red wine...
Cheng Ji wanted to sit up, but he felt weak all over, and Gao Zhan was woken up by his struggling movements.
The bedside lamp was turned on by someone, Gao Zhan rubbed his eyes and sat up, leaned sleepily on the head of the bed and stared at Cheng Ji, it took a long time before he said in a hoarse voice: "What are you doing?"
"It's a bit hot..." Cheng Ji looked at Gao Zhan's sleepy eyes and said in a daze.
"Then don't cover yourself with the quilt." Gao Zhan stretched out his hand to lift off the quilt on Cheng Ji's side. When his hand touched Cheng Ji's neck, Gao Zhan reacted a bit, it was a little hot.
Gao Zhan's hand was always cold all year round, touching Cheng Ji's neck relieved Cheng Ji's almost hot state, and said unconsciously: "It's quite comfortable for you to touch me."
"Comfortable ghost, you have a fever." Gao Zhan touched Cheng Ji's cheek and forehead for a long time, it was very hot, he clicked his tongue, and got out of bed with bare feet, "I'll go get a thermometer."
It would be midnight, Wei Yulan and Gao Gao were both asleep, Gao Zhan searched for a long time but couldn't find the thermometer, so he took a bottle of white wine from the cabinet, found another towel, and went back to bed. "I can't find a thermometer and medicine, let's use white wine to cool you down first."
Gao Zhan knelt on the bed, looked at Cheng Ji who was lying there blinking innocently, then simply unscrewed the bottle of white wine and poured it on the towel.The strong aroma of wine fermented from sorghum filled the entire bedroom in an instant. Before Cheng Ji could say anything, Gao Zhan slapped the towel soaked in white wine to his neck.
"I feel like throwing up when I smell the wine now." Cheng Ji said truthfully.
"Who would have thought that you can drink so badly," Gao Zhan said unhappily, "you still have a fever after drinking too much."
Cheng Ji tried his best to recall what he had done these past few days - his irregular meals were mostly snacks and fruits, he went to bed at two or three in the middle of the night and went to class the next day as usual.He grinned a little guilty, "I haven't slept well recently..."
"It's so desperate to save a wife, you want to marry a fairy!" Gao Zhan said, and wiped his neck with a towel.
Cheng Ji was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "You care about my wife Ben?"
Gao Zhan stopped the movement of his hand for a moment, and then said fiercely: "Who cares, what does your wife have to do with me!"
"Who said it has nothing to do with you?" Cheng Ji said softly.
The dim light rendered the warm room quiet and profound. Gao Zhan and Cheng Ji's gazes shifted, suppressing the undercurrents and wild waves in their respective hearts, turning them into unspeakable teenagers' thoughts.Just like the faint light in the house, it will eventually converge the light.
It took a long time for Gao Zhan to continue wiping Cheng Ji, and when pouring white wine again, he hesitated for a moment, then raised his head and took a sip.
"Drinking white wine in the middle of the night?" Cheng Ji asked.
The light was dim, and Gao Zhan couldn't see the expression on his side face clearly, only the water in the corner of his eyes could be seen.Gao Zhan lowered his head, "I'm thirsty, can't I?"
Cheng Ji didn't expose him, and rarely said anything, let Gao Zhan put the wet towel on his forehead, and then pulled Gao Zhan, "Don't do it, I don't feel too bad, I think the fever will subside when I get up tomorrow."
Gao Zhan looked at him, "Really?"
"When have I lied to you?" Cheng Ji forced a smile.
Gao Zhan was not at ease. He, Gao Gao, and Wei Yulan rarely got sick, and at most they caught a cold when the season changed.But after he thought about it, Cheng Ji was in good health, maybe it was because he was tired during this period, and he had a fever after drinking too much.Anyway, I can't find the medicine at night, so I can go to bed first and then watch it in the morning.
He went to check the temperature of Cheng Ji's neck again, and his hands were so cold that Cheng Ji shrank his neck subconsciously.
"What are you hiding from?" "Why are your hands so cold?" The two asked at the same time.
"It's always been like this," Gao Zhan said, "Go to sleep first, call me when you feel uncomfortable."
Cheng Ji nodded, and when Gao Zhan turned off the light and lay down, and the room was dark again, Cheng Ji said: "My body is warm."
"Ok?"
"Come here, I'll cover you."
Seeing that he was like this, Gao Zhan wanted to cover his hands for him, and said angrily: "There is something wrong with you."
"Stop making trouble," Cheng Ji turned sideways, holding Gao Zhan's cold hand, "Go to sleep."
For a long time, neither of them fell asleep. In the darkness, Cheng Ji suddenly thought of something and asked, "Where's my cake?"
Gao Zhan, who was so sleepy but couldn't sleep because his hands were held by Cheng Ji, was throbbing in his temples, thinking about cake no matter what time it was!For the sake of Chengji's illness, Gao Zhan gritted his teeth and said, "I'll keep it for you."
"That's good," Cheng Ji quietly approached Gao Zhan again, "I haven't eaten a bite..."
"When you recover from illness, no one will stop you from eating as much as you want." Gao Zhan said fiercely.
After waiting for a while, no one responded. When Gao Zhan thought that Cheng Ji had fallen asleep again, Cheng Ji put his head to Gao Zhan's ear and said in a muffled voice, "You guys make me feel like I have a home."
"Thank you."
Although Cheng Ji didn't have time to eat that big cake, he knew it must be very sweet and delicious; he didn't have time to wear all the clothes Wei Yulan bought for him, but he knew they must look good and fit well.They gave him everything he wanted.
But Chengji wanted to be a little more greedy.
After Cheng Ji finished speaking, he fell back into a deep sleep. Hearing Cheng Ji's irregular and unobstructed breathing, after a while, he gently held Cheng Ji's hand back.
When Gao Zhan woke up the next day, the first thing he did was to touch Cheng Ji's forehead, but the fever hadn't subsided, and he seemed to be hotter than last night.
He went out of the room and started rummaging through boxes and cabinets again. Gao Gao came out of his bedroom yawning, looked at Gao Zhan as if he was about to tear down the house, and asked, "What are you looking for?"
"Thermometer, antipyretics." Gao Zhan said.
"The thermometer was broken by my mother a while ago, and the antipyretics... if there are any, they must have expired," Gao Gao recalled carefully, "Who has a fever?"
"Cheng Ji." Gao Zhan said.
Gao Gao let out a cry, and walked towards Gao Zhan's room, asking as he walked, "Didn't he just drink too much, why is he still having a fever?"
The two of them came to Chengji's bed one after the other, watching him sleeping soundly, they both looked worried.Wei Yulan got up and couldn't find her son or daughter anywhere. When she came over to take a look, she saw Gao Zhan and Gao Gao standing beside the bed with sad expressions on their faces.
"Is Chengji still awake?" Wei Yulan asked.
"He has a fever," Gao Zhan said, putting on a sweater, "I'll go downstairs to the pharmacy to buy medicine."
Cheng Ji woke up again, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his uncle's infinitely magnified face stuck in front of his eyes, which shocked him, and even made him much more energetic when he was ill.
"Why are you here?" Cheng Ji glanced at Gao Zhan himself, and asked.
Cheng Yijun looked gloating, "I'll come to see you, eldest nephew, Gao Zhan and the others are all going to school, so send me a WeChat message and ask me to come and see you, no, I'll come over as soon as I get off work." Cheng Yijun raised his hand, wanting Cheng Ji to show off the shirt he hadn't had time to change.
"You have a fever after drinking a few glasses of wine, you're really good," Cheng Yijun scolded, "Gao Zhan said that you haven't eaten and slept well these days, and you are not good at all. Your fever has a lot to do with your staying up late and irregular work and rest. The relationship, you rest ah!"
"Understood." Cheng Ji said, he touched his forehead, it was warm, as if the fever had subsided.
"What have you been up to lately," Cheng Yijun asked, "Don't tell me you're busy studying. I've never seen you stay up late because of studying since I was a child."
"I've taken over a few translation jobs, and I'm in a hurry." Cheng Ji said.
"Lack of money?" Cheng Yijun said as he was about to use his mobile phone to transfer money to Cheng Ji.
"No," Cheng Ji stopped him, "It wouldn't hurt to exercise more now."
After hearing this, Cheng Yijun smiled and said, "You must have someone you like."
Cheng Ji didn't say a word, Cheng Yijun didn't know much about Cheng Ji's appearance, but he probably agreed to it, "I want to ask how I know? You were like this when you were a child. When you came across something you liked, you had to save your pocket money and buy it. Now It seems that you do the same with people you like."
Cheng Ji smiled: "Yes, otherwise how can I prove that I like it?"
Cheng Yijun shook his head, "Anyway, I can't understand."
"Of course you won't understand." Cheng Ji leaned against the head of the bed, looking at Gao Zhan's lying position, "I haven't felt happy for a long time, so this time I have to fight for it myself."
From being taken away from his grandfather by Chengjie's parents to the death of his grandfather, Cheng Ji gradually lost the whole world, wandering around like an empty shell every day.The appearance of Gao Zhan brought him back to this real world full of fireworks and warmth.
"You looked cheerful since you were a child, and your thoughts are heavier than anyone else." Cheng Yijun got up from the bed and straightened his clothes. "You have ideas and abilities. The future is promising, so I won't say anything more. Just pay attention to your body, remember to call me if you have a headache, I am a doctor after all."
"Don't worry," Cheng Ji nodded, "You also have a good rest, uncle."
"Let's go." Cheng Yijun rubbed Cheng Ji's head and left the room.
—
In school, looking at the mobile phone with no news, Gao Zhan was restless.He had never been so worried about anyone, and his emotions were all written on his face.
During recess, Chen He wandered in through the back door somehow, and swaggered into Cheng Ji's seat next to Gao Zhan.
Gao Zhan was holding the phone when there was movement around him. He looked over and thought it was Cheng Ji, but it turned out to be Chen He. The surprise dissipated in an instant, and his expression remained expressionless: "Why are you here?"
"No way, you don't welcome me that much?" Chen He smiled, and looked closely at Gao Zhan, "Who do you think? Cheng Ji?"
Gao Zhan ignored him.
"Why didn't he come today?" Chen He asked.
"I have a fever." Gao Zhan said.
"Ah, then should I go and visit, we are all good friends." Chen He said.
"Forget it, he got sicker when you went there." For some reason, as dull as Gao Zhan, he could feel Cheng Ji's faint hostility towards Chen He.
"Alright then," Chen He nodded, "I hope he gets better soon, and we can still play together."
Li Ya, who had been sitting in front all the time, turned his head to look at Chen He: "What made you have the illusion that you played well with them?"
As soon as Chen He saw Li Ya, he rushed up and gave him a hug, "You traitor, let me be alone in class [-], and you will continue to be class leader in class [-], and you will have a bright future!"
Li Ya and Chen He are in the same class. They didn't go to the college entrance examination and stayed in the first grade of their ideal university. They are in the [-]th class and the [-]th class with Chen He.
"Where do you see my beauty?" Li Ya patted him and said.
"The people in our class know how to study, and they are so boring. Take a look at Gao Zhan and Cheng Ji in your class. They are very interesting. Isn't it wonderful to play with them?" Chen He said.
Li Ya was fed up with his vexatious energy, pushed him back to his seat, turned back by himself, and left Chen He with a merciless back.Chen He curled his lips, and pestered Gao Zhan again, "I don't care, I'll be in your class."
"Whatever you want." Gao Zhan looked at his paper and ignored him.
As a result, Chen He really stayed in their class for a whole day, and no teacher could drive him away. In the end, the head teacher of Class [-] sent the little old lady nicknamed "God of War" to Class [-] to personally take Chen He away. The river dragged it along.
When leaving, Chen He didn't forget to remind Gao Zhan to help him take care of Cheng Ji.
When Gao Zhan came home, Cheng Ji had already left. Not only did he leave, but he also took away the sheets and quilts on the bed. Wei Yulan, who watched TV at home and took care of Cheng Ji, said that she stopped, but she didn't. I took the things to myself and washed them.
Gao Zhan didn't say anything, took out two lunch boxes, packed yesterday's dishes and cakes, and was going to find Cheng Ji.
When Wei Yulan saw it, he let out a sigh, "Is this going to be another birthday with Cheng Ji?"
Gao Zhan coughed unnaturally, "No, he hasn't eaten this cake yet..."
He went over with the lunch box, and through the door, he heard the roar of the range hood inside. Gao Zhan immediately opened the door with the key, and saw Cheng Ji standing in the kitchen frying something.
There was no billowing smoke and no burnt smell, so Gao Zhan felt relieved.He walked over and tried to touch Cheng Ji's forehead, but Cheng Ji grabbed his hand, "I've already had a fever, don't worry."
Gao Zhan frowned and pulled out his hand, and glanced at Cheng Ji's pot, where rice was being fried.
"I don't know how to do advanced ones, so I'll fry some rice for you," Cheng Ji smiled, "It's hard work for you to take care of me."
"You fried rice really to reward me?" Gao Zhan asked suspiciously.There may be a gap between being able to eat and being delicious, and he doesn't think that what Cheng Ji makes can bridge this gap.
"You'll know after you try it." Cheng Ji turned off the fire, took out the fried rice, and brought it to Gao Zhan.
Gao Zhan looked at the golden-yellow rice in the bowl, it smelled like fried curry, he tasted it, and the taste was not bad, for a person like Cheng Ji who had almost blown up the kitchen, it was already very good.
"Delicious." Gao Zhan said.
He really didn't expect that one day he would be able to eat the rice cooked by Cheng Ji.
"The cake is also delicious, I really like it, thank you." Cheng Ji said.
"You are so polite," Gao Zhan finished the rice, and took out two digital candles from nowhere, "I bought them at the gate of the school. Light them to make a wish for you."
"Okay." Cheng Ji smiled, and together with Gao Zhan inserted the candle on the cake, the golden number candle "18", after being lit, the candle flame flickered.
"Make a wish." Gao Zhan urged him.
Cheng Ji was not in a hurry, he watched the candles burn for a while, and said: "When my grandfather celebrated my birthday when I was young, I always gave him a wish. I haven't had a birthday in the past few years, and I have saved a lot. Give you a few."
"We made a wish together. If we have the same wishes, it may be better realized."
Gao Zhan looked at Cheng Ji's eyes behind the lens, deep and gentle, allowing him to sink into them easily.The fire light trembled slightly on the side of Cheng Ji's face, making his profile even more charming.
"Okay." Gao Zhan nodded.
Both of them closed their eyes, thinking about the gushing love in their hearts, they seemed to be talking about their own wishes, and seemed to read each other's thoughts.
When blowing out the candles, both Gao Zhan and Cheng Ji stood up slightly and moved forward. When the candles were extinguished, their noses also rubbed together.
When sitting back, Gao Zhan touched his nose, turned his head away from Cheng Ji, Cheng Ji naturally dug a piece of cake with a spoon, and handed it to Gao Zhan's mouth.
Gao Zhan frowned in disgust, then opened his mouth to eat, and said after eating, "Where are you coaxing the little girl?"
—
Chengji's birthday just passed, and Gao Zhan came to his house almost every night to supervise him. He went to bed before twelve o'clock, and his food was much healthier, because Gao Zhan said that if he found out that Cheng Ji ordered takeout, he would beat his legs. broken.
After the manuscript fee arrived, Cheng Ji asked Gao Gao to see what skin care products Miss Wei used. After discussing with his female classmates, he gave Wei Yulan a skin care product that mainly focuses on anti-wrinkle and anti-aging.Wei Yulan was overwhelmed with excitement, and took advantage of Cheng Ji's payment of the manuscript fee to celebrate again.
The days are lived like this every day. When I go to school, the days are short and the nights are long, and the weekends are short and long.
This year's first snow fell on a weekend, and the curtains in Gaozhan's room were so tightly drawn that it was hard to tell whether it was day or night.There was a slight knock at the door, and two people tiptoed into Gao Zhan's bedroom, approaching a little bit, and then they pushed each other for a long time, and finally one of them made a move on Gao Zhan.
During Gao Zhan's sleep, he felt someone put his hand into his quilt, and then there was a biting cold from his neck to his chest. He let out a low cry, and turned over from the bed and sat up.
"Who?!"
Gao Gao and Cheng Ji rushed out of the room.
"Cheng Ji, I'll kill you!" Gao Zhan crawled from the head of the bed to the end of the bed and chased him out.
The world outside was covered in white, and the sky was brightly illuminated. Gao Zhan, Gao Gao, and Cheng Ji rushed into the snow. Gao Zhan knocked Cheng Ji down under a tree, and kicked Cheng Ji hard. Click on that tree.
Gao Gao couldn't breathe from laughing at the side, Gao Zhan came to grab her again, "Why, didn't you have your share just now?"
Gao Gao shouted "Cheng Ji help me" while running.
Cheng Ji came out of the snowdrift, shaking the snow off his hat, with "I can't save anyone" written all over his face.
In the end, the battle ended with Gao Zhan, Gao Gao, and Cheng Ji all falling into the snow.
"You young people are so energetic." Chen He came over at some point, dragging a suitcase in his hand, and a cool and good-looking boy was beside him.
"Chen He!" Sitting high in the snow, he raised his hand to throw the snow on Chen He.
"Hey, Gao Gao," Chen He took a mouthful of snow, and said helplessly, "Usually you are quite mature..." Then he looked at Gao Zhan and Cheng Ji who were also relatively mature , both of them were sitting on the ground covered in snowflakes.
"This is Su Tang," Chen He introduced, "This is Gao Zhan, the one who beat Dai Zitong; Cheng Ji, who took the first place in the exam with me; Gao Zhan's younger sister."
"Su Tang, is that the senior who was admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts?" Gao Gao blinked, "I saw you at the awards ceremony."
Gao Zhan also has an impression of the name Su Tang, one is that Gao Gao mentioned it before, and the other is that Chen Heyong is on the lips.
Seeing the senior he admired, Gao Gao hurriedly crawled out of the snow, "Well, I thought you were amazing at the time, can I add you on WeChat?"
Gao Gao and Su Tang had a very happy chat. Gao Zhan got up from the snow, turned around and gave Cheng Ji a hand. Just as he was about to say something, the owner of the mahjong parlor in the community came over in a hurry. When he saw Gao Zhan, he said: " Oh, I found you, I called you just now and you didn't answer!"
Gao Zhan glanced at Gao Gao, and pulled the owner of the mahjong parlor aside, "What's wrong?"
"There is a man who is said to be Yulan's husband and your father, who is making trouble at Yulan's noodle restaurant. Why don't I call you now!" the mahjong restaurant owner said anxiously.
"What?" Gao Zhan didn't react for a while, "Is it crazy?"
"I don't know. Yulan looks like she really knew that man. Anyway, go and see if you want to call Gao Gaoyi." "Don't call her!" Gao Zhan interrupted the owner of the mahjong parlor. , "Don't tell her."
The owner of the mahjong parlor nodded in confusion, "Then go and have a look..."
Gao Zhan walked towards the gate of the community, Cheng Ji followed him, stretched out his hand and gave him a hand, "Is it really your father?"
"I don't know," Gao Zhan said, "I don't have a father either."
Cheng Ji followed Gao Zhan to the door of Wei Yulan's noodle restaurant, and heard the sound of smashing things from inside, Gao Zhan rushed over, only to see that the restaurant was in a mess, Wei Yulan was standing outside holding a chair as if to throw it little man.
"Get out, don't dirty my land!" Wei Yulan shouted sharply, her well-coordinated hair was loosened, her face was flushed, and her eyes were bloodshot.
Gao Zhan went up to support Wei Yulan, then looked at the man.
In his memory, he no longer had the slightest impression of that person, and Wei Yulan never kept a picture of that person.But after so many years, Gao Zhan can still recognize the man at a glance, the one who abandoned them and disappeared without a trace more than ten years ago.
"Mom, did he hit you?" Gao Zhan helped Wei Yulan straighten her hair, trembling with anger.
"You are Xiaozhan," the man said, "you have grown up so much over the years."
"You haven't died after all these years." Gao Zhan looked at the man coldly.
"You child, why are you talking to your own father!" The man suddenly raised his voice, as if he wanted to educate Gao Zhan.
"You dare to call my son?! Gao Fuliang! If you dare to call my son's old lady, I will fight you hard today!" Before Gao Zhan could say anything, Wei Yulan became anxious, baring her teeth and claws in Gao Zhan's arms, eager to rush over and pinch her Gao Fuliang died.
"You haven't educated your child well and why don't you let me say it?" Gao Fuliang snorted disdainfully, and when he wanted to say something more, he received a solid punch on the jaw, and a tall and strong middle-aged man was hit by Gao Zhan fell to the ground.
"Let me ask you, did you meet my mother just now?" Gao Zhan looked down at the man and stepped on his kneecap with one foot.
The man howled, but still insisted: "I'm her man, what's wrong with me touching her, ah—"
Gao Zhan gave the man two more punches, "Are you a man too?"
"I didn't touch her! I didn't touch her!" Gao Fuliang finally gave in, "She hit me with a chair before I even said a word, and I didn't do anything at all!"
"I want to smash you to death!" Wei Yulan rushed from behind, pointed at Gao Fuliang and cursed.
Cheng Ji comforted Wei Yulan from the side.
"You went out to do business and thought that if you became a big boss, you would not want a wife or children. Do you know how much Gao Zhan and Gao Gao have been wronged? When Gao Zhan was not as tall as the stove, he stood on a stool for Gao Gao. It's time to eat! We managed to live a good life, and you want to come back after you pay all the money, you can make your spring and autumn dream! It's good that you come back, now we will divorce with the marriage certificate!"
Wei Yulan roared hysterically, tears streaming out uncontrollably.
Gao Zhan came over and hugged Wei Yulan, "Mom, it's okay, don't cry..."
"I really want to come back to make up for you..."
"Go away." Gao Zhan said.
"I......"
Gao Zhan roared: "I said, get out, and never appear in front of our eyes!"
The man rolled and scrambled up from the ground and ran out. Gao Zhan hugged Wei Yulan and made her lie on top of him and cry loudly.Cheng Ji silently tidied up the small noodle shop, arranging and putting away the chairs, chopsticks, and seasoning jars scattered on the floor.
Wei Yulan cried for a while, Gao Zhan helped her to sit down, turned around and went into the kitchen to cook two bowls of noodles, and brought one bowl to Wei Yulan, coaxing in a rare low voice: "Mom, eat something, go shopping after eating Go shopping and play mahjong."
Seeing Wei Yulan start eating, Gao Zhan brought another bowl of noodles to Cheng Ji, "Don't clean up, eat first." They didn't eat anything when they woke up early, he was full of gas just now, and now his chest was filled with nausea.
Cheng Ji and Gao Zhan sat down facing each other, looking at the bowl of noodles, neither of them moved.Over there, Wei Yulan devoured a bowl of noodles, wiped her face clean, combed her hair again, and then stood up: "I'm going to play mahjong with them. If I don't win a thousand or eight hundred today, it will be hard to end!"
After Wei Yulan left, Gao Zhan's tense expression relaxed, his eyes were red, and he was lying on the table without energy.
"Cheng Ji, why is my father that kind of person..."
"He disappeared when I was very young, and my mother never mentioned him, so I secretly wondered what he was like. When I was young, I thought he might be some kind of secret agent and went on a mission. If he always When he doesn't show up, I can think he's dead or something, but he shows up, just like that."
Gao Zhan's voice was hoarse and weeping.
"Gao Gao used to always ask where my father went and what kind of father he was like. If she knew, how sad she would be."
He raised his hand and scratched his hair, Cheng Ji saw his resentful and powerless look, his heart was clenched together.
"Gao Gao has you, you are the most powerful elder brother in the world," Cheng Ji rubbed Gao Zhan's hair, and said, "He has been away for more than ten years, and he is irrelevant to you, don't just because He affects you."
"I'm not good, I didn't protect my mother well." Gao Zhan huddled on the chair, tears rolling in his eyes.
Cheng Ji sat down beside him, opened his hands, "Come and hug."
He hugged Gao Zhan and gently kneaded the back of Gao Zhan's neck, "Don't worry about crying, I'm here, I'll block you, no one can see the most powerful Gao Zhan crying."
"You're going to die." Gao Zhan nestled in Cheng Ji's arms, crying.
When Gaozhan was almost relieved, the bowl of noodles was almost lumpy, but Cheng Ji and Gaozhan still finished it together.After eating the noodles, Cheng Ji asked, "Do you want to tell Gao Gao about this?"
Gao Chan nodded: "Say, I should tell her."
—
At night, Gao Gao gently closed the door, and Gao Zhan asked, "Mom is asleep?"
Gao Gao nodded, and then the two quietly went to Cheng Ji's side together.Because Gao Zhan told Cheng Ji that he would break his leg if he ordered takeaway, so Gao Zhan ordered all the barbecues at the table in the middle of the night. Besides the barbecue, there was also a bottle of white wine, which was left over from Cheng Ji's fever reduction that time.
"What's the game today?" Gao Gao looked at Gao Zhan's expression was not very good, and combined with his mother's mood today, he had some ideas in his heart.
"Today, Gao Fuliang, our father, came to the noodle shop to find his mother." Gao Zhan said.
Gao Gao froze for a moment, "And then?"
"He said that he left Hong Kong City because of business. He didn't hear from him because he felt sorry for us. He lost all his money and wanted to stay with us to make up for us..."
"You're fooling around." Before Gao Zhan could finish speaking, Gao Gao said indifferently, "I lost all my money and wanted to come back to find my wife and children. He had a pretty good idea. You didn't beat him!"
Gao Gao's reaction surprised Gao Zhan, he nodded, "I beat you."
"It's no wonder mom is so depressed today, it's because of him," Gao Gao frowned, "Why didn't you tell me then, if you dared to make my mom sad, I would have beat him up with you if I had known!"
"I thought, you've been thinking..."
"I want to have a father, but I won't be foolish enough to recognize someone who doesn't want us anymore, and I won't recognize someone who makes my mother and brother sad!" Gao Gao said.
"So brother," Gao Gao held Gao Zhan's shoulders and let him look at himself, "I've grown up too, you don't have to carry it yourself if you have anything, with me and Cheng Ji, the three of us can handle it." It’s not a problem to face it together, is it?”
"Yeah." Gao Zhan took a deep breath, leaned against Gao Gao's forehead, and hugged his sister.
"Okay, don't let the atmosphere be so heavy, okay?" Gao Gao clapped his hands, "The barbecue is so fragrant, it should be cold after putting it on, and pour the wine too. Chengji, last time you said you didn't have a good rest, so you only poured three glasses Now, don't you go to bed early recently, do you want to try?"
Cheng Ji glanced at Gao Zhan, then nodded, "I think it's okay."
Gao Zhan laughed.
After two rounds of games, Cheng Ji was so poured by Gao Gao that he couldn't sit still. He leaned on Gao Zhan and poured wine.
"You drank too much again." Gao Zhan said.
"I haven't, it's impossible," Cheng Ji said, "My brain is very clear."
"Everyone who drinks too much says that." Gao Zhan let him lean on him and had a drink with Gao Gao.
"I really didn't drink too much." Cheng Ji sat up straight while supporting the table, and then patted the high cup, "Go, help me get my pen, ink, paper and inkstone... If there is no inkstone, just take a pen, ink, paper, I want to write."
"What kind of words do you write, just stay honest." Gao Zhan said.
"I can write," Cheng Ji said, "The preface to the Lanting Collection was written by Wang Xizhi, a great calligrapher, after he drank too much. He wrote twenty different characters for 'Zhi' throughout the book, and he couldn't write any more after he sobered up. , eternity, are all born in an instant.”
"He is Wang Xizhi." Gao Zhan said.
Cheng Ji tugged at his sleeve and shook it, "Hold it for me...I want to write."
In the past, Gao Zhan admired Cheng Ji's versatility, but after drinking too much, the versatile Cheng Ji is too annoying.
"Where are those things?" Gao Zhan asked.
Cheng Ji pointed to a room, "It's in the study."
Gao Zhan went to the study room, and Cheng Ji followed him in. There were three Gao Gao's summer holidays in it, full of books. "Here, I bought it myself, and the rest are left to me by my grandfather," Cheng Ji introduced with gestures, "My grandfather has a lot of books..."
"Your grandfather is very powerful." Gao Zhan said.
"You are also very good." Cheng Ji said leaning on his body.
Gao Zhan glanced at him, "I don't have that many achievements."
Hearing this, Cheng Ji raised his hand, shook his index finger, then pointed at Gao Zhan and then at himself, "No, you are the most powerful in my heart."
After finishing speaking, his body swayed for a while, but fortunately Gao Zhan caught him quickly.
"Don't mess around if you drink too much," Gao Zhan looked up at the bookshelf, "Where are those things?"
"The leftmost bookshelf is on the fifth floor. The ones on the left are filled with ink, and then there are pens and paper..." Cheng Ji spoke intermittently, his head had already dropped to Gao Zhan's shoulders, and his glasses had slipped off the bridge of his nose.
Gao Gao waited in the living room, and after a while, he saw Gao Zhan half dragged and half hugged Cheng Ji out, still holding the things Cheng Ji said in his hand.
Gao Zhan spread out the paper and stuffed the pen into Cheng Ji's hand.
"Can he really write a stunning masterpiece? I'm looking forward to it." He held up the mobile phone video.
When Gao Zhan saw Gao Gao's video, the corner of his mouth slightly curled up, "He will regret it when he wakes up."
Cheng Ji turned a deaf ear to their videos and conversations, sat cross-legged on the ground alone, pushed twice but couldn't find his own glasses, pushed the air twice.He looked at the spread rice paper drunkenly, took up some ink, and then picked up a pen to drop a smear of thick ink on the rice paper.
"Raise your glass and look at the blue sky with white eyes, as bright as a jade tree before the wind."
"Give it to Gao Zhan Gao Gao."
Gao Zhan didn't expect Chengji's handwriting to be very good, and he didn't expect that he could write well after drinking too much. Some erratic strokes conveyed a sense of madness.
"I think we should all live a little more freely and happily." Cheng Ji accurately touched the glasses, took them off and put them on the tea table. I don't know if it was because of drunkenness, but his long eyelashes were wet and there were circles under his eyes. It is also red.
"Life doesn't have so many answers and tutorials, so let's make ourselves happy, and leave the rest to time and growth." Cheng Ji held Gao Zhan and Gao Gao's hands, lowered his head and thought for a while, and then said, "F Lloyd said..."
Gao Zhan and the others were quite moved by what Cheng Ji said, but Cheng Ji changed his style of painting and began to talk about Freud.
The hand holding the mobile phone high was shaking, and he couldn't hold the mobile phone with a smile. Gao Zhan also listened to Cheng Ji's nonsense helplessly, feeling that educated people are different if they drink too much.Ordinary people drink too much except to vomit and brag, talking about how awesome they are; Chengji starts to chatter when he drinks too much, from Freud to Stanislavsky, saying that his brain is only 30.00% in a state of drunkenness, And 70.00% is awake.
"Oh," Gao Zhan said, "Then why don't you control yourself with the 70.00% of your sobriety? Can it beat the 30.00%?"
When Cheng Ji was asked, he shook his head, which probably meant that 70.00% did not want to answer this question.
Later, Gao Zhan asked Cheng Ji to go to bed first. Cheng Ji said nothing, insisted on staying with Gao Zhan and Gao Gao, and the three of them just had another conversation.Gao Gao was ready to leave after drinking and eating. Before leaving, she took a look at Cheng Ji, and then asked Gao Zhan: "Is it okay for you to deal with him alone?"
Gao Zhan waved his hand, "Go to sleep."
Gao Gao nodded, then raised his phone, "The video has been sent to you."
After sending Gao Gao away, Gao Zhan faced the drunk Cheng Ji alone, and the two sat facing each other with their knees touching.
"Cheng Ji," Gao Zhan gently raised Cheng Ji's chin with his fingers, hooked it, "It's annoying when you're awake, it's annoying when you drink too much, it's annoying when you have a fever, are you ever not annoying? "
"Who bothers me?" Cheng Ji looked up at Gao Zhan.
"Gao Zhan."
Cheng Ji shook his head immediately, "Impossible, Gao Zhan won't bother me..."
"How do you know that he won't bother you?" Gao Zhan let out a sigh of distress, "He annoys you the most. He thinks you are pestering him, making him less lonely and making him feel different every day. It all makes sense."
Gao Zhan also drank a lot of wine, his eyes were watery, he looked at
