muddy boy

The original plan was to drive back to Baoxiang as soon as they came out of the hospital, but it was too late now, and the two could only spend another night at Zhang Xun's hometown.

Zhang Xun took Chen Linhu to find a good restaurant around to fill his stomach, and went back to the hotel he had booked before.

"How was your mother's wedding? There was so much trouble just now that I didn't have time to ask." Zhang Xun asked as he walked while holding the room card.

Chen Linhu took his mobile phone to report to Lin Hongyu that he was safe: "It's okay. I came after I said hello to her. I said that my friend has something to do and I have to come."

"What did your mother say?" Zhang Xun found the room and swiped open the door.

"Ask me about a man or a woman," Chen Linhu didn't hide anything, put his phone down and looked up, and said in a normal tone, "I said men, it's very important, I have to come here."

Zhang Xun turned his head to look at Chen Linhu, with a complex expression on his face, both gentle and worried, his lips moved, and Yu said something but didn't know how to say it.

"I think she guessed it a little bit." Chen Linhu opened the door for Zhang Xun, pushed Zhang Xun lightly, and said in a low voice, "She is busy with work and has to go abroad occasionally, and she is surrounded by young people who are relatively open. There are also colleagues like this.”

Lin Hongyu is an enthusiastic person who is brave enough to accept new things. In fact, she doesn't care much about life, and pays more attention to her career and her own reasoning. In addition, with Wu Hao who is supporting her, Chen Linhu is relatively at ease.

But after all, Chen Linhu is his own son and not a colleague. Sometimes understanding and tolerance are based on not having much contact. Once it is replaced by his own relatives and children, the standard will have to change drastically.

Zhang Xun heard the relief in Chen Linhu's words, but his mood was a little heavy. He smiled and didn't say much, and took off his coat when he entered the room: "Just throw the luggage at the door. I don't think your mother is the kind of person who competes. You know, tell her well."

Chen Linhu said "hmm" and didn't continue this topic. Zhang Xun has been overwhelmed by family relations today, and he is not stupid to push his family's troubles over. Compared with Zhang Xun, he Suddenly found that my parents are not bad.

It was a lot colder at the end of October. Zhang Xun was wearing a black turtleneck sweater under his windbreaker, wrapping his shapely and slim body. Like a circle.

"Take a bath, those running around will be fucking marinated...fuck!" Zhang Xun was turning on the light in the bathroom when Chen Linhu hugged him from behind and bit his neck.

Through the high collar of the sweater, the strength of Chen Linhu's mouth was greatly reduced, but Zhang Xun had already had a conditioned reflex. His body was tense at first, and was tightened by Chen Linhu's arms around his waist. He then naturally relaxed and pressed down with his backhand. Chen Linhu's head scratched his hair: "You don't think it's dirty, let it go! You can't change the habit of biting people, can you?"

Chen Linhu's appearance has become calmer and more mature, and he has learned to integrate into society, but he is still a tiger cub on the inside. He has to touch and chew what he likes, and feel Zhang Xun's existence with all the parts of his body. Permitted behavior proves itself to be favored.

It stands to reason that children have to be scolded and quarreled for doing bad things, but Zhang Xun couldn't stop being gnawed like a bone, and he didn't hit Chen Linhu for a beat. Instead, his body formed a memory, and he was bitten. reaction.

"Thin?" Chen Linhu patted Zhang Xun's stomach.

The tingling sensation spread from the place where he was stroked, and Zhang Xun took a light breath: "It's because the abdominal muscles are getting tighter, do you understand?"

"I don't understand." Chen Linhu was amused, and pulled away his sweater and pinched his stomach a few times, "It's a bit hot, Brother Xun."

"You're not hot," Zhang Xun laughed angrily, greeted Chen Linhu's second-in-command with his backhand, held it down and said unhurriedly, "You're just hot."

Chen Linhu's ears were itchy because of the end sound of his chuckle, and he couldn't bite any more. He pressed against his cheek and gently rubbed his lips with his lips. Zhang Xun was so soft-hearted by this coquettish and intimate action, he turned his head and kissed Chen Linhu : "I have to wash first."

"... Oh." Chen Linhu agreed with his mouth, but still held his arms tightly.

Zhang Xun couldn't help laughing: "Are you coming too?"

Chen Linhu paused for a moment, and said "um" very vaguely but very quickly.

shy.Zhang Xun is stupid, so fucking cute.

This "cute" evaluation only lasted until they entered the bathroom, and the two of them stood under the shower head, facing a mirror, and some indescribable scenes from movies and books flashed through his mind immediately, and Chen Linhu coughed With a loud sound, the switch was turned on, and cold water poured on both of them.

Aside from Zhang Xun's embarrassment, he still saw the tooth marks on his chest in the mirror. It was worn down by the cloth for a long time yesterday, and today it is much shallower, but he can still vaguely see some of them. He was very frustrated, and suddenly lost his temper: "Look! Look at the seal of your innocuous mouth!"

"Where?" Chen Linhu looked at it with a dazed expression.

Zhang Xun pointed to one place: "See, it's still red—"

How could he not know the chapter he had made? Chen Linhu had a sense of accomplishment. Before Zhang Xun finished speaking, he lowered his head and opened his mouth, and engraved the previous chapter again.

The familiar gnawing and the same position will inevitably evoke the previous memory, overlapping with the current scene, Zhang Xun's head is instantly a little dazed.

Moisture enveloped the entire space, blurring even the vision.Breathing was covered by the sound of water, it was hard to tell who was leading whom, only that the kisses fell densely, the wet hair was lifted, the scar on Chen Linhu's brow was rubbed by his lips, and then fell on the eyelashes and bridge of the nose, soft and soft The gentle kiss, with a bit of pampering and indulgence, easily ignited Chen Linhu's fuse.

I can't remember exactly how I got out of the shower and walked to the bedroom. After the headlights are turned off, there is only a warm yellow light from the wall lamps. The hotel is fully equipped with everything you need.

"Curtains!" As soon as Zhang Xun said something, Chen Linhu gagged his mouth again. He raised his hand and pressed the switch next to the wall lamp, and the automatic curtains "buzzed" and closed.

Chen Linhu was not serious, Zhang Xun felt a pain in the corner of his mouth, he was so angry that he was bitten again!Raising his hand to slap him stupidly, Chen Linhu acted kindly and coquettishly after he finished his fierceness, the tip of his tongue pressed against the small opening in the corner of his mouth, and Zhang Xun trembled a little, and the rest of the things were done in a muddle-headed manner.

There is only one thought left in my mind: this tiger thing has become a master! !

"I found you," Zhang Xun calmed down, "you are very good at finding the right time to attack your weak spots, Brother Xiaohu."

As if he didn't understand, Chen Linhu kissed Zhang Xun, got up and opened two bottles of Coke, handed Zhang Xun a bottle, and took out a sketchbook and tablet from his luggage: "What do you mean, where are your legs?"

"The ears are soft!" Zhang Xun glared at him, "Otherwise I would have beaten you up, or you thought you could stand poorly with me, huh?!"

He has a hoarse voice, and there are many more chapters on his body. Chen Linhu looked at him, his eyes flashed, and he smiled.

"It's not that I haven't been beaten before." Chen Linhu sat back on the bed with his sketchbook in his arms, leaning against the bed screen, and said while using the tablet to reply a message from a senior who drew cartoons.

Zhang Xun lit his cigarette: "Nonsense, where did I beat you up?"

"The time you came back from traveling with Duan Qiao." Chen Linhu said.

It was the last time I slapped his ass.

Zhang Xunyu got up, choking on smoke with laughter: "Don't you just slap me a few times for holding grudges?"

"Well, remember, I will never forget it in this life." Chen Linhu said, and touched Zhang Xun with his leg, "Come on."

Zhang Xun glanced at him, this kid was getting more and more particular about his speech, using the shortest words to make the most precise teasing.He took the cigarette from his mouth, and before he took a new one, Chen Linhu stretched his neck, and took away the cigarette he had smoked a few puffs away.

"I'm really not afraid of being burned," Zhang Xun sighed, "Who are you talking to, it's late at night."

"The senior who opened the studio before, he is awake, and those who draw comics basically stay up late." Chen Linhu put the tablet aside after sending the message, and grabbed the sketchbook and pencil case. The office needs to start a new project, and there are not enough assistants.”

Zhang Xun gradually got a little understanding of Chen Linhu's work, but he didn't express his opinions. Chen Linhu could do whatever he liked. Finished painting?"

"I've finished the drawing a long time ago, and this one is half finished." Chen Linhu moved his shoulders, making Zhang Xun more comfortable, "I did some sketches and storyboards on the way here."

Chen Linhu turned forward backwards, there were all kinds of people on the high-speed rail, and there were also scenery passing by outside the window. Zhang Xunai looked at his paintings and looked at them very seriously, but the more he turned forward, the more something went wrong.

As long as he is at home on vacation, most of Chen Linhu’s sketchbooks are sketches of people or scenes in the old family’s courtyard, and a considerable part is Zhang Xun, who reads books and writes, watches computers and plays games, and there are a few more. It was him leaning against the head of the bed or half asleep and half awake after the two of them finished tossing.

Although the painting was very artistic and did not reveal anything, Zhang Xun immediately recalled what happened when the two were together, and they became familiar with each other immediately.

"Damn it!" Zhang Xun was startled, "You rascal!"

Chen Linhu couldn't help laughing: "You just saw it? I drew it before."

"You were a hooligan before!" Zhang Xun took the sketchbook and flipped through it, angrily and laughing, and jumped into Chen Linhu's mind, "What should I do if people see it?"

"Don't let people see it," Chen Linhu said, "Why should I show others?"

There was a bit of a double meaning in these words, Zhang Xun squinted his eyes and stared at Chen Linhu for a while, then pinched his cheek in discouragement: "Be angry with me, you can."

The mobile phone on the bedside rang, Zhang Xun returned the sketchbook to Chen Linhu, and went to get the mobile phone by himself.

The word "Zhang Cheng" was very prominent on the screen. Chen Linhu curled his lips with a disdainful and disgusted expression. Zhang Xun looked amused and rubbed his back: "Okay, you draw yours, I'll ask what's the matter."

Zhang Cheng called in the middle of the night, but it was nothing serious, so he briefly talked about what happened after Zhang Xun left.

After Chen Linhu listened to the general idea, it was nothing more than Zhang Haisheng was so angry that Zhang's mother cried and wiped away tears. Zhang Cheng was used to these things, and when he talked to Zhang Xun, he was numb. Son.

Zhang Xun responded a few times, and Zhang Cheng explained a few more words over there, and the two brothers hung up.

"What?" Chen Linhu turned his head and asked.

"There is no one else at home tomorrow morning, Zhang Cheng asked me to go back and get the computer and car keys at that time." Zhang Xun put the phone aside and lit another cigarette. Forget it, I'll go back tomorrow when Zhang Haisheng goes out."

Going home is like being a thief, and Chen Linhu is angry for Zhang Xun.

But so is Yuyu, perhaps in Zhang Haisheng's eyes, this son is not even as good as a thief.

Chen Linhuyu didn't understand why Zhang Xun, who was such a nice person, had to suffer this way.

"I'm with you." Chen Linhu looked at him and said.

Zhang Xun took down the cigarette, smiled and took Chen Linhu and kissed him: "Okay, I will take you with me wherever I go, give me courage."

It was already past ten o'clock in the morning when Chen Linhu and Zhang Xun arrived the next day.

Zhang Cheng was the only one in the family, and he specially asked for the morning leave to meet at home.As soon as Zhang Xun rang the doorbell, he opened the door from the inside.

Probably not so stupid that Chen Linhu also came. Seeing two people standing outside the door, Zhang Cheng was stunned: "Come in, I'm the only one at home."

"He won't come back halfway, will he?" Zhang Xun pulled Chen Linhu into the door.

"No, didn't you miss the physical examination yesterday, and make up for it today." Zhang Cheng smiled wearily, "You didn't move anything in your room, but last night he said that he would change it into a children's room for his grandson."

Chen Linhu frowned and said nothing. He changed his shoes and followed Zhang Xun to the house, helping him tidy up briefly.

"Okay," Zhang Xun bit his cigarette, not paying attention, "I will listen to him as he arranges, so as not to cause trouble again."

Zhang Cheng sighed.

It was said to be packed, but in fact there were not many things to take away. Zhang Cheng helped Zhang Xun's car to be washed in advance. Now he drove directly from the garage and parked downstairs. Zhang Xun took his computer and The monitor was moved downstairs, and Chen Linhu helped move some more important books and certificates.

During this period, Zhang Cheng stood at the door and watched, his eyes skipped over Chen Linhu several times, and he was still not used to frowning, but he didn't say much.

When he didn't speak, Chen Linhu didn't bother to speak, and the speed of packing things was much faster.

Zhang Xun's bedroom was almost untouched, and the items were neatly arranged. Chen Linhu could feel the morbid order after just looking around. At home, Zhang Xun can be regarded as getting rid of the shadow, living closer to his free and undisciplined nature.

After putting down the computer monitor, Zhang Xun ran upstairs again and took away some winter coats. He wanted to carry them by himself, but Chen Linhu took them away without any hassle, and went downstairs with the big bags and small bags without saying hello to Zhang Cheng.

"That's his temper," Zhang Xun smiled, and there was no sense of blame in his tone, it was completely a habitual scene, "Okay, then I'll go."

Zhang Cheng watched him change his shoes at the door, and he recalled in a daze that when they were young, the two of them went out to school in such a tandem. At that time, Zhang Xun would follow behind him and call "Brother". It won't be this year, the two brothers are walking on the street like two strangers.

"In the future," Zhang Cheng paused, "what are your plans?"

Zhang Xun gave him a surprised look: "Work more, save money, travel with your partner, wherever you go."

He said it casually, lightly, jokingly, but from the heart.

"I think he... is pretty reliable." Zhang Cheng had no way to do anything about his younger brother's sexuality, and said carefully, "But you have to pay attention yourself, after all, it's not something the public can accept."

Zhang Xun smiled, and said slowly: "I used to be so stupid. Now I understand why I want the public to accept it. It's enough for us to be good. Besides, we still have friends and a small circle of life. They Accepting it is enough."

Zhang Cheng didn't know how to respond. He had been tortured for the past few years and gave birth to a miserable look. After marrying his wife, he managed to get better, but the torture during this period of time made him more tired.

Compared with him, Zhang Xun seems to be a little more relaxed in the past two years, and has taken a lot of things lightly.

"You've grown up a bit." Zhang Cheng said suddenly.

"I'm at this age, and I'm still growing up." Zhang Xun changed his shoes, and opened the door with the last bag of clothes.

Zhang Cheng said: "People have to keep growing all their lives, otherwise it will only be more uncomfortable. Or they will be like parents, who don't grow themselves and force others to grow."

Zhang Xun had never been foolish enough to say these words from Zhang Cheng.

"I'll take you down." Zhang Cheng took some fruit snacks and closed the door, "you two eat on the way."

When they went downstairs, the two brothers had nothing to say. When they were young, they could not talk like other brothers because they lacked the time to grow up together. Later, because of the strict education of their parents, they developed their own closed personalities in different forms. Now they get together again because of their parents.

Even if the relationship has eased, but after all, the age of complaining has passed, everyone is going their own way, and no one can take care of the other, so it is better not to talk.

Chen Linhu had been waiting downstairs for a while. Seeing Zhang Xun come down, he helped put things in the trunk, and got into the passenger seat by himself.

Zhang Xun also opened the door of the driver's seat and sat up. After a while of silence, he rolled down the window and asked, "What are your future plans?"

"I'll tell you that." Zhang Cheng twitched the corners of his mouth and showed a helpless smile, "I applied for a transfer with the company. Next year, when Xiaoyun gives birth, I will go to work in the branch in the next city. I Forget it yourself, if my child has to be like the two of us..."

When it happened to me, I couldn't bear it anymore.

Chen Linhu pursed his lips in disdain, but did not interrupt.

"That's fine." Zhang Xun said, "If it's really a last resort, call me back. After all, you still have to fulfill your obligations."

"If you can't come back, don't come back," Zhang Cheng sighed, "I will settle down with your sister-in-law at that time, if you really have nowhere to go, you can go to me."

Chen Linhu glanced over sharply, and before the two brothers of the Zhang family could react, they honked the horn loudly: "Drive!"

Zhang Cheng and Zhang Xun: "..." What a temper!

"Let's go!" Zhang Xun shook Chen Linhu dumbfounded, then turned his head and said to Zhang Cheng, "Then I'm leaving." After a pause, he finally called out, "Brother."

Zhang Cheng nodded and took two steps back.

The car started, Zhang Xun looked in the rear view mirror, Zhang Cheng was still standing downstairs and watched them leave, the community they had lived in for more than ten years slowly went away, and finally disappeared when they drove out of the gate of the community and merged into the main road .

He finally left that place.

Zhang Xun was in a daze, when someone pinched his leg suddenly.

Chen Linhu looked at him, his lips were pursed tightly, and his expression was concerned.

"It's nothing, but I'm very emotional." Zhang Xun smiled, and said, "Why are you competing with Zhang Cheng? You really don't give any face to your temper."

"I don't like to listen to what he said." Chen Linhu was dumbfounded, and immediately became angry again, "What's 'nowhere to go', I can arrange it for him. The hospital bed in the second hospital is the most suitable for him."

It has to be the bruises department!

Zhang Xun couldn't laugh or cry, the complicated emotions in his heart were all disturbed by Brother Xiao Hu, and he was full of enthusiasm: "He is just polite, he can't say 'get out, don't show your mother's face for the rest of your life' right?"

It was such a rationale, but Chen Linhu just didn't like it.He hadn't liked Zhang Cheng for a day or two. Although Zhang Cheng looked like a human being under the background of Zhang Haisheng, he was still disgusted, frowning and keeping silent.

"Besides, there will be nowhere to go," Zhang Xun rubbed Chen Linhu's hair with his hand, "Don't you still have you?"

Chen Linhu's face softened, he took off Zhang Xun's claws from his head, and said with a serious expression: "Yes. Drive hard."

"You'll drive later. You haven't been on the road yet, so let's leave it alone to eat ashes." Zhang Xun still felt that Chen Linhu was coquettish, smiled and flicked his head, and withdrew his hand. Going out to play. Duan Qiao took me to that place before, and the fishing is very good, I think your grandfather will like it."

This was Chen Linhu's first time hearing Zhang Xun's easy plan. There was old Chen Tou and Duan Qiaoning and Xiaomeng. Their lives seemed to have become a matter of success.

Zhang Xun spoke aimlessly, he didn't say anything, Chen Linhu occasionally interjected a few words, and was also responsible for feeding Zhang Xun the snacks given by Zhang Cheng.

Talking along the way, it was already four or five in the afternoon when we arrived at Baoxiang, Zhang Xun parked the car in the vacant parking space of the family courtyard.

"I'm too tired. Let's move the computer tomorrow. Just take the clothes with you." Zhang Xun opened the trunk and took out two bags of clothes from inside. Suddenly, something happened and he waved at Chen Linhu, "Huzi, come here." .”

Chen Linhu thought it was because he couldn't carry it, so he walked over and looked into the trunk, and was caught off guard by Zhang Xun who held his head down and put something on his head.

"What?" Chen Linhu was stunned, stretched out his hand and pulled it off to see, it turned out to be a red tiger hat.

The tiger head hat is the style with red cloth and furry white edges. It has two small round ears and a pair of bulging cartoon tiger eyes embroidered on the top. It is not exquisite, but it is cute and naive.

Zhang Xun laughed hard enough, Chen Linhu was about 1.8 meters tall, with a sullen face and such a hat on his head, the contrast was too great and he felt inexplicably cute.

"Damn, where did it come from?" Chen Linhu couldn't help laughing, "I had a similar one when I was young, and my grandfather bought it for me."

Because of his name, his family loves to buy him related peripheral products since he was a child. From clothing to practical things, everything that can be related to "Tiger" is made up for him. It is not easy to get rid of these stupid things when he grows up. The objects in the ground are not so stupid that Zhang Xun also has this habit.

"When I was in high school, I went to temple fairs with Duan Qiao during Chinese New Year. I bought them when I saw them and thought they were fun." Zhang Xun said with a smile, "I didn't know why I bought them all of a sudden. When I got them back, I threw them in the closet. I eliminated clothes several times. Didn't fool it."

At that time, he bought such a hat like a ghost, almost made Duan Qiao laugh out loud, and praised him for his childlike innocence.

It's not so stupid that after so many years, it was actually buckled on Chen Linhu's head.

"Childish," Chen Linhu said righteously, with a steady expression, "Confiscated."

Zhang Xun: "...Might grab it!"

After confiscating Zhang Xun's tiger-head hat, Chen Linhu helped Zhang Xun carry a bag of clothes, and they walked towards the second unit.

At three or four o'clock in the afternoon, those who went to work didn't come back to school, and those who didn't finish class, the old family's courtyard was still quiet, and the two walked into the cave chatting and laughing.

"I'll put the things at home and see how my grandfather is doing." Chen Linhu took out the key and said to Zhang Xun, "Can you carry it upstairs? The housekeeper should come to cook at noon. If there is any leftover heat, you come down to eat? "

Zhang Xun took the bag of clothes that Chen Linhu was carrying with his other hand, and just said "OK", when he heard the door on the first floor open from the inside.

It was not Old Chen who opened the door, but Chen Xingye.

Several people were stunned, Chen Xingye looked at Chen Linhu, then at Zhang Xun, and slowly frowned.

"Are you back?" Chen Xingye said, "What are you holding in your hand? A red hat?"

Chen Linhu looked at Chen Xingye's expression, stuffed the tiger hat into his jacket pocket, and said calmly, "Otherwise, could it still be a trouser fork?"

The author has something to say:

Brother Xiaohu, it's up to you to be angry.
