"you!"
"I saw it."
Song Nanye had a "don't make a fuss" expression and slowly took two more sips of the soda in his hand.
"When I helped you get that book back from that aunt, the page was blown open by the wind, and I saw all the words on it."
I like Jiang Beiyuan.
I like it very much.
I like it very much. I like it very much.
The few lines in the middle, a short number of words, filled the entire space of the piece of paper, as if they were all he had.
"Don't tell anyone, thank you."
Jiang Beize spoke softly, his voice a little soft.
"Also, that's not an aunt, that's my sister-in-law. My sister-in-law is very young and very nice. The only woman I don't hate now is my sister-in-law. I feel... she is different from other women."
“…”
Song Nanye said nothing.
He frowned, and then he drank the soda in his hand like a golf ball, and threw the can far away.
"I don't really like women either."
He said.
This unruly young man had the most realistic black reflection in his eyes at this moment.
"A selfish woman ran away with me after she gave birth to me. Before she left, my father dragged her away and refused to let her go. He even called my grandparents to come from the country to break up the fight. On the way, my father and I had a baby. Car accident—"
After a pause, Song Nanye subconsciously stroked the soda can next to him. Only then did he realize that he had finished all his own. Without saying a word, he took Jiang Beize's over and drank a few more sips.
"No one was spared, they all died."
"..." Jiang Beize was stunned.
"I thought if I made a scene and became bad, they would remarry."
After saying that, Song Nanye shrugged his shoulders as if he were laughing at himself.
"My dad remarried last year and left me completely in my brother's charge. I gave him a month's living allowance. In fact, it was nothing more than that. Facts have proved that no matter what kind of person I become, they won't care."
"No, there will still be people who care, such as your brother."
Jiang Beize's eyes were clear and bright, looking straight at him with comfort in his eyes.
"Your brother must be like my second brother. Although Assistant Song is more timid, he is not as domineering, handsome, smart, and capable as my second brother -"
"Hey, okay, okay."
Song Nanye became impatient and waved his hand.
"Are you trying to say that even though he is useless, he still hopes that I will become something?"
"Well, that's what it means!"
"Come on, what do you know if you grew up with a silver spoon in your mouth?"
Song Nanye said nonchalantly, and drank Jiang Beize's bottle of Pepsi-Cola.
"I am an illegitimate child."
Jiang Beize's clear eyes were covered with a slight layer of frost.
"He is not my biological brother. My mother is even more outrageous than your mother. She put me in an orphanage when I was born and asked me to recognize my father when I was five years old. My stepmother... is even more unspeakable."
"Oh." Song Nanye listened quietly, and a one-word response meant that he had listened.
Jiang Beize sighed.
"This is the first time I've told anyone this."
"Me too." Song Nanye replied.
"You know my secret, and I know your secret. We are even."
"It's so childish, only children can make up for it."
As Song Nanye spoke, he shook the can in his hand twice and threw the empty bottle of Pepsi into the vast distance.
"Why are you called Jiang Beize?"
"ah?"
