Only at this time did Sheng Wang realize that he was a giant in words and a dwarf in action. On weekdays, Jiang Tianlai was very handy, but now because of one sentence or three words, the army is in chaos and the army is defeated.
In the end, the two did not dare to stay in the living room, and went back to the second floor.
It was winter, but the room was stuffy. The air conditioner was humming, and Sheng Wang felt that his brain was getting closer to it.
He leaned back there, his eyes a little wet under the back of his hand. His eyelashes twitched a few times, losing focus in bouts of blankness.
Jiang Tian's breathing was also heavy. He took out a few tissues and was about to wipe his hands when Sheng Wang pinned him down.
A big boy of this height is actually very heavy, and he said hoarsely: "I almost thought I was the only one who couldn't help but make trouble. It's a courtesy, and I want to help you too."
It was the first time that Sheng Wang saw Jiang Tian like this. His eyes were slightly closed, his Adam's apple was red, and his eyes fell down his half-drooped eyelids, sharp and confused.
This is mine alone and no one can see it. he thinks.
The room seemed to be getting hotter, and his neck and ears were getting hot. He squinted and tightened his fingers and said to Jiang Tian, "Brother, I want to photograph you like this."
Jiang Tian bent one leg and closed his eyes. After a while, he opened it again, he reached out and clasped the back of Sheng Wang's head, tilted his head and kissed it.
Sheng Wang was awakened by the movement on the stairs the next day.
Jiang Tian had already lifted the quilt and sat beside the bed, frowning and listening to the voices outside. He took out his phone, glanced at the time, and asked in a low voice, "What time do they return?"
Sheng Wang was still in a daze that he had just opened his eyes, and it took several seconds to realize that Jiang Tian was asking Sheng Mingyang and Jiang Ou: "Thursday."
His throat was so hoarse, he took two sips of water from the cup at the head of the bed, and then his movements froze, and the water almost splashed on the bed.
The voices downstairs were not very clear, but he still heard it, it was indeed Sheng Mingyang and Jiang Ou.
"Why did you come back today?!" Sheng Wang sat up, scratched his hair, and hurriedly descended to the ground.
He didn't wear any slippers, and walked to the door with bare feet on the carpet. He wanted to watch quietly, but as soon as he opened the door, he found someone in the bathroom opposite—
Aunt Sun was holding the mop, saw him stunned for a moment and said, "Auntie is making you sleepy?"
Sheng Wang was a little confused: "Auntie, why did you come to this bathroom?"
"The faucet downstairs is broken." Aunt Sun said in surprise, "Eh? Xiao Tian? Did you sleep here last night?"
Only then did Sheng Wang remember that there was someone behind him, and he almost slammed the door closed by a conditioned reflex. Fortunately, Jiang Tian was much calmer. He picked up his jacket and patted Sheng Wang's shoulder, walked over him and came out of the bedroom, and said to Aunt Sun, "It was too late to talk about things yesterday."
"Huh?" Sheng Wang froze for a moment and agreed, "Hmm."
Anyone who is very familiar with Jiang Tian knows that it is a bit abnormal for him to explain so many words. Fortunately, Aunt Sun didn't see him every day, so she didn't know him well enough, so she didn't hear the problem. As for Sheng Wang, his reaction was always half a beat when he woke up, but Aunt Sun was not surprised.
"I just saw the guitar in the living room." Aunt Sun said.
Sheng Wang was stunned again, and he couldn't say it properly. Last night, he went upstairs in a daze, and all the guitars were confiscated. He subconsciously explained: "I found it out, and last time I told him that I wanted to teach him to play the guitar. Later, I talked about a lot of things about registering for work when I was a child, so... I took him up to see the award certificate, and I forgot to collect everything downstairs. "
Auntie Sun smiled and said, "How old are you? Have you started talking about your childhood?"
Sheng Wang laughed dryly and said, "Ah... yes, recall memories of childhood."
Jiang Tian took a step back to the next door, glanced at him, and then twisted the door into his bedroom.
Sheng Wang also shrank back, and walked around the room aimlessly twice with a head of sleepy hair.
Losing a guitar downstairs is not a big deal. It's not that strange for two brothers to sleep in the same room. The most important thing is that Aunt Sun has washed the mop and is busy cleaning. .
After he changed his clothes and brushed his teeth, the mint-smelling air refreshed his mind, and he returned to his usual state. He felt that those things just now weren't a big problem.
The panicked things were left behind by him, and the ones from last night popped up in his mind. So Sheng Wang just took a step out of the bathroom, then turned back and poured two handfuls of cold water on his face.
He was too lazy to wipe the corners of his eyebrows with water droplets, so he simply leaned on the sink and brushed his phone while waiting for his face to dry.
The screen of the mobile phone was constantly on, and new news kept jumping in. He roughly flipped through it and clicked into the circle of friends, and it happened to be a new status.
The status was posted a minute ago, and in such a short time, the message has already formed a long queue, and the content is almost the same, either "I came out from the west by the sun to see what I brushed", or "I'm dazzled, Brother Tim actually posted Friends circle", and Gao Tianyang and Song Sirui were singing "Today is a good day".
Jiang Tianda, whose circle of friends is empty, posted an unprecedented status early in the morning. The content is very simple. He shared a guitar version of a song called "Childhood".
The squad leader Xiao Liyu asked below: Are you going to practice this song? That's great, I just don't get out of tune with this one.
There are several other students who followed Ying He and said that it is ok, simple and nice.
Only Sheng Wang knew that someone was teasing him vaguely when he returned to Aunt Sun's words, "Last night, I was reminiscing about my childhood."
Because of this sharing, Sheng Wang poured water on his face twice, and then sent a message under the long dragon.
You say it again: teach yourself.
A few seconds later, Gao Tianyang replied to him: What a fierce brother.
Song Sirui immediately followed, but as soon as he finished copying it, Gao Tianyang deleted the sentence and changed it to: Brother Sheng, who is so fierce.
Da Song: ... Are you playing with me
Sheng Wang was amused by these two live treasures, so he was in a relaxed state when he went downstairs.
He was actually a little afraid of seeing Sheng Mingyang and Jiang Ou, so he kept dawdling and not wanting to go on. As a result, when he walked to the living room, he found that Jiang Tian had already sat on the sofa one step ahead of him, and he suddenly calmed down.
"Didn't you say you only came back on Thursday? Why did you come back suddenly today?" Sheng Wang asked.
Sheng Mingyang said, "I originally said Thursday, but there is such a big event at the entrance of the Affiliated Middle School. I must come back to see it to be relieved. And I heard that the old man who took you to lunch is ill?"
"You know this?" Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian looked at each other and said in surprise, "I didn't seem to mention it to you."
Sheng Mingyang said with a smile, "I know quite a few people in the Affiliated High School. Isn't it normal to be well informed?"
This is the reason why he chose to turn Sheng Wang over in the first place. Sheng Mingyang knew a lot of people from the Affiliated Middle School, and it was easy to take care of him here. On the contrary, Sheng Wang forgot about this.
He was stunned for a moment, "Oh".
Sheng Mingyang didn't notice his strange moment, and asked, "How is the old man now?"
"Sent to the hospital, there is a slight cerebral hemorrhage, and the hospital is hanging on water. The person has woken up. The doctor said that the problem is not big." Sheng Wang replied.
After taking care of the old man for so long, the old man fell ill, and it was impossible for the two parents not to visit. So this afternoon, the group of four went to the hospital.
This hospital is famous for its brain department. It is crowded with people every day. Only the inpatient department is quieter.
Several buildings of different heights are surrounded by artificial lake views and gardens, and are connected with each other by a long corridor, which is a very suitable place for recuperation. By the lake and in the garden, there are family members pushing wheelchairs to take the patient to relax, in twos and threes.
Sheng Mingyang carried a lot of gift boxes for food, and after Jiang Ou's introduction, he got to know the old man Ding in a few words, and it didn't take long for him to chat and laugh.
Jiang Ou went out to make hot water with the empty kettle in the ward, and said that by the way, he would wash two persimmons to peel. The people in the room were chatting, and the topic turned to the woman caught at the entrance of the attached middle school.
This matter has nothing to do with them, but the old man just likes to worry about it, listening to a sentence and listening to a sentence to pass the time. In such a large city, there are not many such cases, but there are not many. Before the results come out, it will always become the talk of the whole area, so rumors are flying, and there is nothing to say.
The uncle on the next bed said mysteriously, "I just went down for a walk and listened to what someone said. That woman has been recognized."
"That's good." Old Man Ding nodded and said, "It's pathetic that no one has ever recognized it. But this family is really good enough. Don't you know if the older one is gone?"
"No." The uncle waved his hand and said, "It's not recognized by the family, it's another woman."
"Another woman? What do you mean?"
"Are you a friend?" Sheng Mingyang wasn't keen to talk about this, but he would cooperate with the old man to interject a few words appropriately.
"What!" The uncle waved his hand again, then bent his two thumbs, and said, "This is the relationship."
Before Sheng Mingyang could react, the uncle let out a "tsk" and said, "Not a normal friend at all, a partner!"
"Two little girls?" Sheng Wang was stunned for a moment.
"That's right!" The uncle shook his head and said, "It is said that the woman who disappeared is not very good at learning. She hangs out outside and doesn't communicate with her at home. It seems that this time she owes usury or has a grudge against someone, anyway—"
He smacked his lips again, shook his head and said, "If you don't study well, you're still messing with a girl. What's that called, the same—"
"Homosexuality?" Sheng Mingyang reminded.
Sheng Wang was a little sleepy listening to them chatting before, and wanted to pull Jiang Tian out for a walk. As a result, when he heard the word pop out of his dad's mouth, he froze for a moment.
He quickly glanced at Jiang Tian, then turned to look at Sheng Mingyang. Seeing that the other party was still suave, he heard the uncle come to a conclusion and say, "Yes, it's quite perverted."
Sheng Wang's hand that was hanging by his side was cold.
With a pale face, he rubbed his fingertips vigorously, subconsciously trying to refute the uncle, but Jiang Tian grabbed him as soon as he opened his mouth.
Sheng Wang frowned, he thought Jiang Tian was going to pull him out, as if he didn't hear it. Who knows that the other party just dragged him back a step, and said to himself, "Is it a bad person to say that?"
He has always spoken directly, and old Ding Sheng Mingyang knows that it is normal for him to say these words. The uncle was stunned by his question, and Sheng Mingyang immediately settled the matter and said, "It's true that everyone is gone, and who knows what's actually going on? We're not the police, right?"
The old man Ding has been silent, very quiet. It was not until he followed Jiang Tian downstairs that Sheng Wang realized that the old man had never been involved in the topic of "homosexuality".
He suddenly had an intuition, and felt that although the old man Ding had never mentioned it before, he might have known about some of Ji Huanyu's problems, but the old man's attitude was a bit strange...
To be precise, Old Man Ding's attitude towards Ji Huanyu has always been a bit strange. Unlike simple neighbors, no neighbor would point at Ji Huanyu and scold him like an old man, nor would he look at old photos in an old photo album by himself after scolding.
Just as Sheng Wang got out of the elevator, he suddenly grabbed Jiang Tian and asked, "The old man came to the hospital with your number, right? Do you have his social security card?"
Jiang Tian questioned: "Why are you asking this?"
"Can I take a look?"
"It's not there."
"Oh." Sheng Wang thought for a while and then asked, "Do you know what the old man's actual last name is?"
Jiang Tian didn't expect him to ask this, and said after a moment of silence, "The last name is Ji."
Sheng Wang stepped in for a moment.
He still remembered what the old man Ding told him a long time ago, saying that Ji Huanyu was quite pitiful when he was a child, he was an orphan without a father or mother. He was picked up and raised with several other children, not a regular orphanage, just to see them stuttering and drinking. It was later banned due to irregular procedures. The others were all gone, only Ji Huanyu remained in this area and went to high school.
The old man said that Ji Huanyu's name was taken by the person who picked him up and had the same surname as that person.
Jiang Tian looked at his stunned expression and said, "Did the old man tell you about Ji Huanyu's past?"
Sheng Wang nodded hesitantly. He is not sure if Jiang Tian's mention of Ji Huanyu will make his mood worse, but it seems to be okay now.
"It was said that Ji Huanyu was an orphan and was picked up and raised?"
"Um… "
"It was the old man who picked him up." Jiang Tian said.
Sheng Wang suddenly understood why the old man Ding's attitude towards Ji Huanyu was so strange. He was not looking at an ordinary neighbor, but at a "son" who was white-eyed. He was angry and blamed himself.
Angry at him for being a bastard, unlearned, scumbag, and perverted. Self-blame is whether there is something wrong with me, and I failed to teach and take care of the children who were picked up.
After all, it's not a real father and son. He wants to control, but he has no position to control it. He can only do something from a distance as an old neighbor. He watched Jiang Tian grow up, and he should be both emotional and relieved. He felt that the child who went wrong back then was glad that Jiang Tian had been walking in a righteous manner.
But what if... He learns one day that Jiang Tian likes boys too
Sheng Wang suddenly didn't dare to think about it.
