Peer relationship

Years ago, Chen Zhongzheng issued an ultimatum to Chen Xiuyuan, asking him to go home and celebrate the new year with the old man.

The old man is more than 70 years old, and his body is still strong. He is used to living alone in the old house. The people who live there are all the old friends he made when he was young. We usually drink tea and play chess together, and live a leisurely old age. Life.

He has two sons. Besides Chen Zhongzheng, there is another son who has settled abroad. Compared with Chen Zhongzheng, he prefers Chen Xiuyuan's faceless uncle all the year round. Although he left the company to Chen Zhongzheng, the real estate Most of it was allocated to the youngest son.

Chen Xiuyuan didn't return to the old house until a young age. He was not close to the old man, and he couldn't say a few words at ordinary times, so he was very restrained when he returned to the old house.

At night, Chen Xiuyuan would video chat with Zhou Suihuai.

"Brother, when will you go home for the New Year?" Chen Xiuyuan had just taken a shower, his hair was still wet, and there were a few drops of water hanging on his bare neck and collarbone. He wiped it casually, picked up a towel beside the bed and rolled a few The wet hair curled up like a cat's fur.

Zhou Suihuai was lying on the bed. In the huge room, there was only movement from Chen Xiuyuan's video. He suddenly felt that he was very pitiful. In order not to make himself look more pitiful, Zhou Suihuai lied: "Tomorrow's car."

"Then when will you come back?" Chen Xiuyuan asked.

"Should be soon, the company still has a lot of things to deal with." Zhou Suihuai said.

Chen Xiuyuan nodded, and got into the bed with his half-wet hair.Zhou Suihuai said: "In this weather, let's blow-dry your hair first, and be careful of catching a cold."

Chen Xiuyuan said "OK", then put down his phone and got up to get a hair dryer outside.

The voice of Chen Xiuyuan talking to someone came from the other end of the video, and after a few minutes, he came back with a hair dryer.The buzzing sound of hair blowing rang perfunctorily for a while, and soon, the screen shook, and Chen Xiuyuan got into the bed, raised the phone, and pointed it at his face.

"Is this blown dry?" Zhou Sui Huai asked.

"The hair is short, it will be dry after two strokes." Chen Xiuyuan brushed his faded golden hair, and new black hair grew from the top of his head, "I need to touch up the color."

"I'm going to toss my hair again, what color do I want to dye this time?" Zhou Suihuai asked.

Chen Xiuyuan asked him: "What color do you think looks good?"

Zhou Suihuai: "Hmm... the original black color."

Chen Xiuyuan chuckled lightly, as if he didn't quite agree, he asked again: "Brother, do you play games?"

"I've played chicken before." Zhou Suihuai liked to play CF when he was studying, and he often went to Internet cafes to play games. Later, his free time gradually decreased, and he would occasionally play some gun battle mobile games.

"Then let's score together." Chen Xiuyuan said.

Zhou Suihuai responded with a good voice: "Then I have to update first."

Chen Xiuyuan: "Okay, I'll wait for you."

It takes a long time for this game to be updated once. After the first year of life, Huai sent a message to Chen Xiuyuan, and the two of them went online to form a duo.

It’s been a long time since Zhou Suihuai had played chicken. His hands were a little raw, and the first two games had fallen into boxes. By the time of the third game, he had just taken two heads with the gun at the beginning, and gradually regained some touch.

Chen Xiuyuan is very good at eating chicken. He likes to play big sniper, and Zhou Suihuai likes to play with assault rifles. They just formed a double team to score points. They played heartily all night, which was a great joy.

"Hmm...brother, let's watch the video tomorrow when you get home." After saying goodnight, Chen Xiuyuan added this sentence.

Zhou Suihuai paused for a while, and said, "There must be a lot of children in my family, so it won't be convenient to have a look at them later."

Chen Xiuyuan said "OK" before reluctantly hanging up the video.

The voice on the phone stopped abruptly, and Zhou Suihuai was still faintly excited because of the last chicken game just now. After his emotions subsided, he felt the unbearable loneliness belatedly.

This kind of emotion is already extraordinarily rampant in the dark night, let alone fermented after the hustle and bustle stopped abruptly. Zhou Suihuai got up, didn't even bother to put on his coat, and smoked a cigarette by the bed with his hands on his shoulders.

The night swallowed up the white smoke, and only nicotine left a taste on the tip of the tongue. The scarlet cigarette butt was burning, and it was lit up by repeated inhalation. Zhou Suihuai exhaled the last puff of smoke, got up and pressed the cigarette butt into the trash can beside the bed .

His Adam's apple twitched slightly, he finished one cigarette and was about to light a second one without feeling sleepy.

At this time, the mobile phone on the bedside table suddenly lit up. After Zhou Sui Huai reached for the mobile phone, he lazily unlocked the mobile phone with an unlit cigarette in his mouth.

It was Chen Xiuyuan who sent him a voice message.

"Brother, be careful when you go home tomorrow, good night."

Obviously, it has been said in the video, but I have to repeat it again.

Chen Xiuyuan is very good at such teasing tricks.

Zhou Suihuai is 24 years old and is used to such little tricks.

But he still listened to Chen Xiuyuan's voice twice, then took off the cigarette from his mouth, lay back under the quilt, and slowly replied two words: good night.

Recently, Chen Xiuyuan's life in the old house was not going his way. Every day he was scolded by the old man or Chen Zhongzheng.

Chen Zhongzheng was very irritable. He couldn't please the old man, so he often took advantage of the old man's casual criticism to give Chen Xiuyuan a bad reprimand.

Chen Xiuyuan endured it for several days, until the day of Chinese New Year.

On the evening of New Year's Eve, Chen Xiuyuan's uncle rushed back.

The father and son stayed with the old man for more than a week two years ago, and they couldn't compare to others rushing back to spend the night. Chen Xiuyuan felt bored and had to go back to his room after dinner.

"Chen Xiuyuan, watch the year." Chen Zhongzheng said coldly while holding a teacup.

Chen Xiuyuan's steps stopped at the stairs, he said speechlessly: "It's only eight o'clock now."

"Why are you going back to your room at eight o'clock?" It's the New Year's Eve, but Chen Zhongzheng's tone was even colder. Chen Xiuyuan didn't bother to talk to him, and went upstairs on his own. Before entering the door, he heard the uncle downstairs talking about him The temper is really big enough.

I didn't hear what Chen Zhongzheng replied, but the tone was not very good anyway.

Chen Xiuyuan endured it for a long time. The reason for the outbreak was that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Chen Zhongzheng forced him to study abroad in front of the old man.

"How much time do you want to waste? Are you ashamed to throw things that don't make it to the table every day?!"

"Why are you talking about this again? Don't you understand what I'm thinking?" Chen Xiuyuan lost his appetite in an instant, and dropped his chopsticks on the table, "I said I don't want to study finance."

"What's your attitude?" Chen Zhongzheng shouted.

The old man's face was not very good-looking, but the uncle on the side looked like he was watching a play, which made people very annoyed.

Chen Xiuyuan raised his hand as a sign of surrender: "Okay, the year is over, I don't bother to tell you, I'm leaving first."

"Chen Xiuyuan! Do you dare to go and try?" Chen Zhongzheng also threw his chopsticks, and the two father and son acted exactly the same when they lost their temper.

Chen Xiuyuan turned his head and glanced at him, seeming to be provocative.

Seeing Chen Zhongzheng's face livid with anger as he wished, Chen Xiuyuan quickly walked out the door.

It was difficult to get a taxi here in the old house, so Chen Xiuyuan drove a low-key Benz home from the garage.

He took the elevator upstairs, only to find a familiar light shining through the gap under the door.Could it be that Zhou Suihuai forgot to turn off the lights when he left?

Chen Xiuyuan opened the door suspiciously, and his movements were a little cautious. There shouldn't be a thief, right?

Chen Xiuyuan, who had made up thousands of situations and reasons in his mind, froze when he saw Zhou Suihuai curled up sleeping on the sofa.

Didn't he go home?

One-year-old Huai's sleep was shallow, and the movement of the door quickly woke him up.Zhou Suihuai yawned and got up, rubbed his eyes twice, and then slowly looked at the person at the door.

This glance directly dispelled his drowsiness.

"Why did you come back?"

"Why didn't you go back?"

Chen Xiuyuan walked to the sofa, helped him pick up the blanket that had slipped on the floor, put it on Zhou Suihuai's feet, and asked, "Aren't you celebrating the New Year at home?"

It's not the worst thing to celebrate the New Year alone, but the pity and embarrassment of being smashed by the younger brother is the worst thing.

Zhou Suihuai's face was a little pale, and after avoiding Chen Xiuyuan's hand, he said, "I just entered the house after the car in the afternoon. I was too sleepy, so I fell asleep."

Chen Xiuyuan glanced at the pajamas on him, and asked slowly, "What about your luggage? Have you packed it?"

Zhou Suihuai had no choice but to follow the words: "It's already packed, why are you back? Isn't today the first day of the Lunar New Year?"

His attitude of avoiding the topic was too obvious. Chen Xiuyuan found his wrist from the blanket, grabbed it and pulled him into his arms, saying, "Brother, how can you come back to work by car on the first day of the new year? Don't lie to me." , Your morning laundry is still drying on the balcony."

Sui Huai's neck was stuck by him, so he could only raise his head and follow his movements.

Hearing what Chen Xiuyuan said, Zhou Suihuai sighed softly, and said, "If you know it, don't say it, how embarrassing is it for brother?"

"It's not embarrassing." Chen Xiuyuan pressed his spine, and gently touched it down, "It's just very pitiful."

I'm so pitiful that I can't help but hug you.
