No matter how dangerous the Linxi road is

knowledge?

Dazed for a moment, Lin Xuan smiled and tried to cover it up: "He sent me a message, but at that time I was about to take the final exam, and my mother took my mobile phone away, so I didn't have time to chat with him too deeply. But after all, he couldn't be completely indifferent. After taking two sips of his drink, he asked Wen Cheng about Xun Zhiyuan's situation, "What did he tell you to repeat the study? I think he arranged it quite early, and he took it before the college entrance examination. What's the matter with the exam, the admission score of that college is not high, why, he didn't pass the exam?"

"Things here are quite complicated, and I won't be able to convey them clearly for a while, but since you are on summer vacation now, it's better for you two to talk in person if you have anything to say." Wen Cheng didn't hear anything unusual, and was very enthusiastic from the stall owner He took the plate in his hand and put it between the two of them, picked up a bunch of glutinous rice sticks and said while eating, "He should need you a lot now. It takes a lot of determination to repeat the study. When I saw him a few days ago, I saw that he was stressed. It's also bigger."

Hearing this, Lin Xuan thought of the letter in the book, and felt a dull pain in her heart: What have you experienced recently?Why didn't you tell me?I wrote you affectionately in the letter, and said between the lines that the years are quiet and beautiful, but what is the truth, I want to hear your most sincere thoughts.Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little ridiculous, and couldn't help mocking in his heart: You are frustrated and sad, so you complain to Wen Cheng, but have you told me a word about you so far? Do you think I am unworthy? Listening to you talk is not worthy of sharing your worries, is it?

"All right, all right, I'll ask him when I have time," Lin Xuan shook her head, trying to get rid of the messy irritability in her heart, and turned the topic to Wen Cheng, "Let's not talk about him, when will you apply for volunteering? Yes Do you want to go to school?"

No.: ☆, see you at last

At this time, Xun Zhiyuan and Yan Yilong are here.

"Brother Long, I found out that buying clothes with you is a scene of self-disgrace," Xun Zhiyuan wailed with a mournful face, "Your standard clothes support your figure, and you wear whatever you are chic, but every style you like is on me. It looks like a child stealing an adult's clothes." After speaking, he shook his long sleeves to prove that what he said was true.

Yan Yiyu is 1.8 meters tall, with a well-proportioned figure and long legs. The confessions he received at school cannot be counted on two hands, and his height has always been a flaw for Xun Zhiyuan. Although he is 1.7 meters tall, he can hardly be called too short, but When buying clothes, I often look at the long sleeves or trouser legs and smile wryly.

"You...you can roll it up, or you can cut it off." Yan Yilong suppressed his smile, feeling that the kid in front of him was getting cuter and cuter, thinking that he was only three years old this year and couldn't be any more.

Returning the tried clothes to the shopping guide, Yan Yi asked Xun Zhiyuan: "How tall is Lin Xuan?" When Xun Zhiyuan was in the fitting room just now, he suddenly remembered that Xun Zhiyuan had mentioned Lin Xuan's height to himself before, I remember that Xun Zhiyuan slapped the table full of righteous indignation and said that every time he and Lin Xuan went out together, people would recognize Lin Xuan as a senior. In addition, their eyebrows and eyes were a little similar, and he was asked several times whether Lin Xuan was leading the watch. brother out to play.

Xun Zhiyuan stretched out his thumb and middle finger, put it on his head, smiled and answered Yan Yilong's very heart-wrenching question: "The number he said is [-], and it is probably as tall as when standing with him. I'm so much taller." While speaking, he felt the cell phone in his trouser pocket vibrate, he took it out and found that it was Yan Yilong's father calling.

"Uncle Yan? Yes, we are together now. We are shopping for a piece of clothing at the mall. His phone should be on silent and he didn't hear it." Xun Zhiyuan handed the phone to Yan Yiyu, "Your dad called, did you call your phone?" Someone answered, I said you muted, if there is anything else, you can talk to him yourself.”

After hanging up the phone, Xun Zhiyuan swiped through WeChat Moments and saw that Wen Cheng had just posted a post 3 minutes ago. Drink the hottest wine, hiss the wildest roar.Seeing the Sprite bottle in the background of the photo, Xun Zhiyuan smiled and commented: Health expert, is the Sprite you drink spicy enough?

When he closed all the interfaces and was about to put away the phone, Xun Zhiyuan seemed to have noticed something. He re-opened the selfie that Wen Cheng posted on Moments, adjusted the brightness of the phone to the highest, double-clicked to enlarge the picture, and found that another person was photographed on the edge of the picture sideways, and the watch worn by that figure is the one he is most familiar with.

It's Lin Xuan.That watch was given to Lin Xuan when he transferred to another school a year ago. At that time, he left in a hurry and had nothing to worry about. He took off the watch and handed it to Lin Xuan, saying to him, "I will never go back to this school again. , every time you look at the time, it’s as if I’m still with you.”

Wen Cheng always likes to locate when posting to Moments, so he clicks on the address of the subscript, and no longer hesitates, thinking that he should go there, and some things are best said to Lin Xuan face to face.He didn't know if this picture of Wen Cheng was taken just now, or if they had finished eating and changed places, and he didn't even know if the person who had dinner with Wen Cheng was Lin Xuan. With a faceless silhouette and a wrist watch that he couldn't see clearly because of the darkness, he dared to ride a bicycle halfway across the county to the food stalls in the square to find someone. Impossible to lose the bet.

"Slow down on the way back, see you in two weeks." Walking out of the commercial building, Xun Zhiyuan patted Yan Yilong's shoulder to bid him farewell.He took a deep breath, and then let it out heavily, his heart beating violently.He didn't tell anyone that he was going to see Lin Xuan, not only didn't tell Yan Yilong, but he didn't even tell Wen Cheng.

When they rushed to the food stall in the square, Lin Xuan and Wen Cheng hadn't left yet. Xun Zhiyuan found an inconspicuous seat in the distance, ordered two bottles of beer and drank it by himself.It seems that he was a little impulsive... He scolded himself in his heart, and ran on a whim, but he didn't dare to come forward to talk to him, and he didn't want to be discovered by them, so he could only pour himself a drink in the corner.

However, he didn't self-examine for a long time. He had just finished drinking a bottle, and when he looked up, he found that Lin Xuan and Wen Cheng were already full and ready to move.When it was broken, it was disturbed by it, and I couldn't hesitate anymore. I picked up the second bottle and blew most of it in one breath. Xun Zhiyuan rode a bicycle and followed the two of them from a distance, trying to find a suitable opportunity. .

While waiting for the signal lights at the crossroads ahead, Xun Zhiyuan pretended to meet unexpectedly, hooked Lin Xuan's shoulder affectionately, poked his head and greeted Wen Cheng: "What a coincidence, I met you two here, Xiao Linzi thinks Didn't I?" His movements were casual, his words natural, trying to disguise the almost unbearable load with an all-too-normal performance.

"Think about it day and night, it's rare to meet Mr. Xun on the main road today, you see it's getting late, are you planning to open a room to catch up on the old days?" Lin Xuan had the same reaction as Xun Zhiyuan, the more turbulent his heart became, the more Wanting to keep the surface calm, he tried his best to make jokes with a playful smile as usual, but he couldn't help being embarrassed after saying it—with their current relationship, can they still make such unscrupulous jokes?he does not know.

I don’t know where there are so many coincidences. Wen Cheng originally planned to go to KTV to sing with Lin Xuan after dinner. Just when Xun Zhiyuan was talking and laughing with Lin Xuan, he received a WeChat message from his mother, saying that the second aunt came to visit the house. Tell Wen Cheng not to play too late, it is best to come back as soon as possible. "It's enough for you two, I won't eat this pot of dog food." He pretended to be disgusted and joked with Xun Lin and the two, "It won't prevent you from living together. My aunt came home and told me to go back right away. .”

"Brother Ah Cheng, go slowly." "Farewell, farewell." Lin Xuan and Xun Zhiyuan said goodbye to Wen Cheng with a smile, watching his back gradually blend into the street scene.

No.: ☆, the streets are dark

When the previous acting in front of people was no longer necessary, being honest with each other became the top priority.Lin Xuan tentatively wanted to grab the hand that Xun Zhiyuan put on his shoulder just now, but just as he raised his hand, the other party retracted his hand like an electric shock, only a faint trace of warmth remained on his skin.He felt that the hanging hand was a little awkward, but he had no choice but to push his glasses along the way, pretending that he had no other thoughts just now.Although Xun Zhiyuan has a free and easy personality, he is not a careless person. He looks lively and amusing on the outside, but he is very delicate on the inside. He always pays attention to the subtleties. Naturally, he has a panoramic view of Lin Xuan's small movements just now.

"I miss you." Xun Zhiyuan's hands behind his back clenched into fists, and his nails were deeply dug into his palms. He seemed to have made a lot of determination to chew and swallow the thousands of words that were about to overflow from his mouth. In the end, he only uttered this sentence of longing that he forbears to the extreme.

"Me too, I miss you all the time." Lin Xuan felt that the atmosphere between the two was a bit cold, and tried to find something to talk about to ease the embarrassment, "Just now Wen Cheng and I were chatting about you, did you have a good time after the college entrance examination? ? And he told me that you want to repeat, why did you suddenly have this idea?"

Xun Zhiyuan hated his formulaic social face the most, he felt that his appearance didn't look like a familiar friend at all, but more like the polite greetings of unfamiliar classmates at gatherings.So he didn't answer, and still followed his own train of thought.He asked, "Are you in a hurry to go home?"

Lin Xuan didn't expect him to ask such a question, she shook her head subconsciously, and replied: "No..." Before he could finish his sentence, Xun Zhiyuan stopped the car by the side of the road, then turned around and stared into his eyes, The voice is rare and serious: "Park the car and walk with me, I have something to say."

Lin Xuan usually hates this kind of unquestionable command tone, but now facing Xun Zhiyuan, he found that he didn't feel disgusted at all other than being confused, and seemed to have some kind of expectation. What do you want to do, but you don't even have the intention of questioning or asking rhetorically, you just do what he said obediently.

The two walked side by side on the road, and the air around them seemed to cool down.

"Come on, let's have an awkward chat." Xun Zhiyuan went straight to the point.

"What are you talking about?" Lin Xuan froze for a moment, not knowing how to respond.

"You and I." Xun Zhiyuan took a step forward, turned around and faced Lin Xuan, raised his head and looked straight into his eyes, "Do you still think we are good brothers? How long have we not met or chatted?" ?”

Lin Xuan blurted out: "I've always regarded you as my best friend." Seeing that Xun Zhiyuan had been staring at him without changing his face, as if he insisted on asking the answer to the last question, he took a step back unnaturally and made a gesture. The reply was a bit incoherent, "A while ago you were preparing for the college entrance examination, I... I don't think I can disturb your review, and also... I also have an academic proficiency test... I am also very busy, just..."

Xun Zhiyuan turned his head, his chest seemed to be filled with anger that could not be released. "I don't want to hear you say this." He has been trying to understand the differences between the two, but he has always been puzzled. Lin Xuan never gave him a straightforward and positive reply. don't talk about it.So he even hoped that the two of them could have a hearty swearing and vent their unspoken words, but every time he asked a question, he gave Shang Lin Xuan a non-positive answer, as if punching cotton. , not painful or itchy, but like a stick in the throat.

Xun Zhiyuan let out a long sigh, lowered his head as if sad, and asked in a low voice: "Have you read that letter?" Lin Xuan didn't expect him to ask this suddenly, as if his thoughts had been erratic today, and he couldn't figure it out at all. Where will the next sentence point.

"Yeah." He said he had seen it.

"Then are you willing to believe me?" Xun Zhiyuan turned his back to him, he couldn't see his expression, and couldn't hear his emotion in his words, he just felt his shoulders tremble, as if asking this sentence Words require all the strength of the whole body.At this moment, he really wanted to give him a hug. He couldn't help stretching out his hand, but quickly retracted it before touching the other party, and replied in an unquestionable tone: "Of course I do. I've always believed in you."

Xun Zhiyuan didn't turn around, just nodded and continued to walk forward, Lin Xuan opened his palms and clenched them into fists, followed his pace, smiled bitterly and said in his heart that love actually wanted to touch and then retracted his hands③.

"I have a question." Seeing Lin Xuan continued to follow, Xun Zhiyuan asked him, "What do you think of me treating you?"

"Very good." This question was answered without thinking, as if there was no other answer than this.

Xun Zhiyuan twitched the corners of his mouth, unable to express his sorrows and joys, he continued to ask: "Then what is the meaning of me to you?"

"Above brother." Lin Xuan blurted out.Hearing this answer, Xun Zhiyuan frowned. He was asking about the role he played in Lin Xuan's life, and about his position in Lin Xuan's heart, not what Lin Xuan thought of the two of them. human relationship.In his opinion, they are close friends, brothers with different surnames, is there anything else besides that?Why did the phrase "brother or more" suddenly pop up?

"What do you mean?" Xun Zhiyuan was puzzled and asked casually. "It's boring." Lin Xuan didn't want to continue to explain.Then there was the unanimous silence.

Keeping calm, he walked to the fork in front, and Xun Zhiyuan dragged Lin Xuan to turn a corner, and turned into an alley, where the road was under construction, and there was only a street light on one side, and the distance between the two adjacent lights was very far, so people coming and going People try to avoid too dark streets at night, so it is dark and quiet and few people come here.

This kind of environment is really suitable for something to happen, Xun Zhiyuan shouted in his heart.In the daytime, he is bright and well-dressed, but under the encouragement of the dark night, many indulgent thoughts hidden deep in his heart can't help but emerge. He knows that he has the ability to continue to maintain the image of forbearance and restraint, but he is not willing to do so. Be reckless once.

"You are really bold. It's so late, this road is dark, and there are no passers-by, so you're not afraid of me doing something out of control?" Xun Zhiyuan took Lin Xuan's shoulders, and smiled sinisterly in a low voice. .

③The statement "Love is wanting to touch and then take back" comes from Salinger's book "The Heart of Broken Stories".

No.: ☆, Tears and Confessions

Lin Xuan frowned, but did not refute, just said lightly: "Then what do you want to do?" I am not bold, but because I am with you, no matter what you want to do next, I will not refuse, Always allow and cooperate.I don't know why I believe in you so much. Many times I can't see my own heart clearly, so I don't know how to answer you.Lin Xuan shook her head, what was she thinking about.

"You, say, what?" Xun Zhiyuan slammed Lin Xuan against the wall, put his left hand on his shoulder, and grabbed his shirt collar with his right hand. The difference in height between the two made Xun Zhiyuan's action a bit funny and not There was not much restraint, and seeing that Lin Xuan had no intention of resisting, Xun Zhiyuan became more presumptuous, squeezing one leg between the opponent's knees, forming an extremely ambiguous posture.

The close distance between the two made Lin Xuan's heart beat violently. "Are you drinking again?" He tried to calm his tone, find some topics to ease the atmosphere, and divert his attention as much as possible.A certain part of his lower body had a faint tendency to raise his head, which made him almost blush, and it was hard to imagine why he would react when facing his good brother.

"Not much, just one and a half bottles." Xun Zhiyuan didn't have time to eat dinner, only ordered two bottles of beer at the food stall in the square just now, and because of rushing after Lin Xuan, he didn't have time to finish them.He has a lot of alcohol, and he would drink a little on weekdays. He thought that pressing Lin Xuan against the wall tonight had nothing to do with alcohol, but that it was time for the two of them to talk openly.Although the current approach may not be appropriate.

"I remember you have allergies, drink less, too much will be bad for your health." Lin Xuan looked at Xun Zhiyuan's neck that was exposed outside his clothes, he couldn't see clearly in the dim light, but he felt in his heart whether it had turned red.

But the other party didn't appreciate it.

"Hehe, you still know you care about me? Then should I be moved to the point of tears? And then pull you to make a pledge of eternal love?" Xun Zhiyuan strengthened his hands, and Lin Xuan lowered his head when he was pulling.

"I just..." Lin Xuan thought very much
