After we broke up, I still asked about your situation

The "house rules" were written and pasted at the door, and the rules and regulations inside were basically restraints on Tong Shen—after all, Tu Jiazhi's rules were as rigid as a ruler, and there was nothing to restrain him.

After that, Tong Shen bought him a new mobile phone, and then accompanied him to apply for a new card.

After inserting the card into the phone, Tu Jiazhi opened "Contacts", stared at it for a while, and then turned off the screen.

Tong Shen felt sore in his heart, and reminded: "You can save my account."

"No, I remember your number." Tu Jiazhi said, "If the phone is lost and picked up by criminals, the other party may call someone who looks close in the address book to blackmail. In the past, I could save the numbers of my uncles, aunts, and others directly. If you write people's names, it doesn't seem so close, now you are the only one, and you can write anything close."

"..."

Tong Shen was going to die of pain.

He raised his hand to touch Tu Jiazhi's head, and forced a smile: "Good boy."

In more than a year, the boy's height has stretched up again.

Realizing that Tong Shen had to look up when looking at him, Tu Jiazhi bowed slightly and pushed himself lower than him.

Tong Shen laughed heartily: "Why are you so obedient?"

Then he thought of something and asked teasingly, "What's the matter, can you touch your head now?"

Tu Jiazhi pushed his head forward without saying a word, and hit him lightly on the chest.

Tong Shen rubbed the hair on the back of the boy's head, and suddenly felt as if he was raising a large dog, which was docile and well-behaved, and gave people an inexplicable sense of security.

Thinking of this, he slid his fingers down and patted the back of Tu Jiazhi's neck: "Go, go home."

Tu Jiazhi's whole body froze, and it took him a long time to straighten up, clutching the back of his neck and walking forward, he still felt a slight coolness there when he reached home.

While cooking at noon, Tong Shen helped Tu Jiazhi in the kitchen.

The child is much more patient with him now than before, and will explain to him very carefully when encountering problems. Tong Shen followed his instructions, and after several days in a row, he still looks good.

The two lived together day and night under the same roof for more than two weeks, and there was no friction until the end of the winter vacation.

The ordeal seems to make them infinitely tolerant of each other.

Tong Shen visited Shu Bai several times in prison, the first time he didn't have the heart to tell him about the accident at home, and the second time he was mentally prepared to finish the story hesitantly.

Shu Bai was silent for a long time at that time, he did not show the grief that Tong Shen expected, but calmly asked about the follow-up resettlement matters and Tu Jiazhi's status.

Before leaving, he even smiled slightly at Tong Shen, and comforted him in turn: "Don't be sad, it's not your fault."

Tong Shen didn't hold back for a moment, and cried all the way, lying on the steering wheel for more than two hours.

Later, Shu Bai called Tu Jiazhi once, and didn't say much, just told him to study hard and listen to Tong Shen obediently in life.

Tong Shen didn't know what Tu Jiazhi was thinking, but he never heard him mention his cousin again.

After the winter vacation, Tu Jiazhi entered the second term of the second year of high school, and the school started half a month earlier than Tong Shen.After Tong Shen started school, he deliberately chose to meet Zhang Ping when Tu Jiazhi was living at school.

Although his sexual orientation was no secret to Tu Jiazhi, the previous meeting was not very pleasant. Tong Shen felt that the two seemed to dislike each other for some reason, so he tried to avoid contact with them.

Until Tu Jiazhi's birthday, Tong Shen felt that the two of them were too deserted, so he called Du Zijie to his home to celebrate the child's birthday together.

Originally, the atmosphere was very harmonious and lively. After dinner at night, the lights were turned off and the candles were lit. Tu Jiazhi made a wish, and Du Zijie asked Tu Jiazhi to cut him the piece of cake with cherries.

There were not many people, and only the smallest six-inch cake was bought, and three big men could easily handle it.

Holding a knife, Tu Jiazhi thought about where to start, and wanted to cut Tong Shen the one with the most cream, but before he started cutting, there was a sudden knock on the door outside.

The three of them froze at the same time.

"...Does anyone else know about you here?" Du Zijie looked at Tong Shen suspiciously, "Where is the ghost coming to the door in the middle of the night? It's scary."

"Don't talk nonsense!" Tong Shen kicked him, thought for a while, and suddenly said, "It may be Zhang Ping."

Tu Jiazhi's face darkened instantly, and he put the knife back on the table with slight force.

Tong Shen looked at his face, touched his nose embarrassingly: "I, I'll go and have a look."

The door opened, and Zhang Ping was standing outside.

"I heard that Xiaozhi's birthday is today, so I bought him a present and apologized to him for what happened last time." Zhang Ping smiled, "Can I go in?"

Before Tong Shen could open his mouth, Du Zijie had already teased in a strange way: "Hey, you still buy gifts? Iron cock plucking, this is it!"

Zhang Ping froze, and asked in a low voice, "Why is he here?"

"He, that, uh..." Tong Shen hesitated to speak in embarrassment, and opened the door, "You, you come in first."

Zhang Ping's arrival made the atmosphere in the room turn cold quickly.

Without raising his head, Tu Jiazhi picked up the knife without saying a word, and cut the cake into four pieces with all his might.

The plastic knife drew red marks on his palm, and also penetrated the bottom of the packaging box, drawing a big "fork".

Du Zijie dug a spoonful of cake and put it into his mouth, shook his head and smacked his mouth: "Well - the taste is good, but the portion is too small, not enough to eat."

Zhang Ping pushed his share of the cake to him like a hot potato: "I'll give you mine."

Du Zijie rolled his eyes and laughed mockingly: "I never beg for food from others."

"You talk too much!" Tong Shen glared at him, "Eating can't stop you from talking!"

"All right, all right, the thing about beggars is really not worth discussing." Du Zijie raised his chin at Zhang Ping, hehe said, "Didn't you say that you have prepared a gift for our little one? Take it out and have a look."

"..."

It was the first time Tu Jiazhi heard someone refer to him with such a disgusting name, his brows twitched uncontrollably.But at this moment, Du Zijie was obviously on the same front as himself, no matter how disgusting he was, he could not bear it anymore.

When Zhang Ping heard that Du Zijie used the mere word "our family" to isolate himself as an outsider, his ears and neck turned red with anger.

He put the gift box in front of Tu Jiazhi, and forced the corners of his mouth to curl up: "I don't know what Xiaozhi likes. I thought that I'm still a student after all, and things that are too extravagant are not suitable, so I bought this one. I hope Xiaozhi will go well in the college entrance examination next year."

Tu Jiazhi didn't bother to talk to him at first, but Tong Shen's earnest gaze next to him was too scorching. He was so stared at that he had no choice but to stretch out a hand and casually opened the gift box.

It contains a complete set of five and three for the college entrance examination.

The room was quiet for a few seconds, and Du Zijie suddenly burst into laughter.

"..." Tong Shen picked up the cover and put it on, and said with a dry smile, "Then what, it's pretty good, isn't it little..."

"Not good." Tu Jiazhi said blankly, "I've already finished this set of questions, so don't waste any more money, just take it back and return it."

Zhang Ping didn't say anything.

"Oh, you can do the question again, strengthen it." Tong Shen hurriedly made a relief, "I put it in your study."

Du Zijie was annoyed when he saw Zhang Ping, and he couldn't wait when Tong Shen left, so he followed with a cake.

There were only two people left in the living room.

Zhang Ping propped one hand on the table, turned sideways to Tu Jiazhi, no more kindness on his face, and asked straight to the point: "You asked Brother Shen to move out of the villa?"

"Yeah." Tu Jiazhi hooked his lower lip, leaned back in the chair in a casual posture, stretched out his long arms, and tapped his fingers lightly on the table, "I'm so lonely living here by myself, so I asked my brother to move out to accompany me. Can't you?"

He never called Tong Shen "brother" in person, and occasionally called "brother" with a single word, which would make Tong Shen happy for a long time.

Zhang Ping was really stimulated by his remarks, and his tone was vaguely angry: "Brother Shen has never lived in such a poor place since he was a child, if you think about him..."

"I don't care." Tu Jiazhi interrupted him, "No matter how poor it is, this is my brother's home. He is willing to come and accompany me. It's your turn to make irresponsible remarks? What is your status?"

"I..." Zhang Ping laughed angrily, "What identity do you ask me?"

He gritted his teeth and said, "I'm his boyfriend! I'm the one who will be with him for the rest of his life in the future! What do you say about my identity?!"

"..."

What a fucking eye-opener, Tu Jiazhi thought, how can a mistress be so righteous these days?

He got up violently, kicked over the chair behind Zhang Ping, and said in a deep voice, "Get out, don't force me to beat you."

Brother Shen: It’s so chaotic, it’s so difficult, save me save me save me QAQ
