From that day on, Tao Huainan became obsessed with listening to Chi Cheng's heartbeat.
Whenever it rains outside, Tao Huainan sticks his ear to Chi Cheng's left chest, his soft hair and ear are lightly touching Chi Cheng's, and the other ear is covered, as if the only thing left in the world is Chi Cheng's heartbeat Voice.
The gentle and constant thumping sound is mesmerizing.
When Tao Xiaodong came back that day, Tao Huainan had already fallen asleep leaning against Chi Cheng. Chi Cheng was originally leaning on the sofa, but then slipped lower and lower, and almost slipped to the ground.
"What shape is this?" Tao Xiaodong surprised them both when he opened the door.
Chi Cheng pointed to Tao Huainan, and replied in a low voice, "He fell asleep."
"Let him sleep in the room when he falls asleep," Tao Xiaodong looked at the two of them in surprise, "Aren't you tired in such a posture?"
"It's okay." Chi Cheng said, "I can't sleep when I wake up, it's raining heavily outside."
"It's quite big, it's blocked, I can't come back and wait for the car to flood." Tao Xiaodong took off his wet clothes and pants, took a pair of shorts and put them on.
Tao Xiaodong came over and sat on the sofa on the other side, and said to Chi Cheng, "The attached high school has contacted me."
Chi Cheng looked at him and raised his eyebrows in surprise.
The attached high school did contact Tao Xiaodong, through the school. In fact, the top students in each school knew the high schools before the exam, especially those who applied to their own school, and they also had the report cards of several major exams in the third year of junior high school. In addition, the junior high school is still a little unwilling, the champion seedling has not been promoted, and the school leaders know each other, and deliberately mentioned the matter of Chi Cheng a few times.
The attached middle school contacted the parents, saying that if Chi Cheng is willing to go, he can accept it, and he can make an exception to let him enter the self-pay line. The entrance line of the attached high school is 580, and the line of self-payment is 556. Only when you hit 556 can you be eligible to pay the tuition fee to study. But Tao Huainan still couldn't go in to study if he could break one rule but not two. There are only so many resources in the school, and they are already saturated. One more Tao Huainan will have to squeeze out one student.
"That is to say, I can go, but Tao Huainan still can't." Chi Cheng asked his brother, "Is that what you mean?"
Tao Xiaodong nodded and said, "That's what it means."
Just as Chi Cheng opened his mouth, before he could speak, Tao Huainan in his arms sat up, opened his eyes and said, "Go, he will go."
"Pretending to be sleeping?" Tao Xiaodong laughed, "I think I slept soundly, why are you pretending here all day long?"
"Just woke up," Tao Huainan grabbed Chi Cheng's arm, "Go to Fuzhong, go to Fuzhong."
"What the hell." Chi Cheng said, "Am I free? I'm just making money by making a trip."
"The attached middle school is so good." Tao Huainan frowned, the imprint on Chi Cheng's body was still on his face, "I'm so worried, I'm worried about going to school, go to the attached middle school , I will go to a school for the blind."
Chi Cheng replied calmly: "No."
"If you don't go, don't go," Tao Huainan patted him on the arm twice, quite forcefully, "I don't need you to worry about it, how old I am!"
"That's not what I said before," Tao Xiaodong slid aside, "Why did this change?"
Tao Huainan had been worrying about Chi Cheng's failure to study in the attached high school for so many days, and now he finally saw some light, and said: "I want to know that he can do this, so I won't talk nonsense, I regret it. "
Chi Cheng still shook his head and said, "I won't go."
In the past, Tao Huainan felt that he could do without Chi Cheng, but since Chi Cheng scored 70 points in the high school entrance examination, Tao Huainan felt that he was too independent. As long as Chi Cheng can go to school well and stop making troubles, he can go to school anywhere by himself.
Tao Xiaodong didn't speak, just sat next to him and watched the play. Seeing Tao Huainan talking a lot, and then being called back by Chi Cheng with the word "no", seeing the conflict between the two of them can be relieved.
"Don't be so stubborn..." Tao Huainan insisted that it wouldn't work, and began to coax and discuss in a low voice, "Just pick me up every Friday, and I'll come back on Monday morning, I can do it myself."
"You can't." Chi Cheng was a little annoyed, frowning with an unpleasant expression, "Don't bother me."
Tao Huainan was also a little anxious and shook his arm.
Chi Cheng pushed him aside, stood up and went back to the room.
In fact, Tao Xiaodong replied there at that time. He still knows about Chi Cheng, he didn't write the composition just to avoid going to the attached middle school, deliberately failed the exam, and now he can't change his mind. Moreover, Tao Xiaodong's school is almost settled, so he can save the two little ones and send them together to save his troubles.
Brother Dang has a stomach full of bad water, so he just doesn't talk about it, and doesn't let it out. Let those two troubled cubs have a taste of this entanglement, don't blame the parents, all the good things are theirs.
That night, Tao Huainan closed the door and reasoned with Chi Cheng nicely. Brother didn't tell him about the international high school. In Tao Huainan's mind, they can only go to ordinary schools if they don't go to the attached high school. After all, he can't pass the exam in a slightly better school like Chicheng.
Chi Cheng annoyed him, and finally covered his mouth with his hand.
Tao Huainan was not in a hurry when his mouth was covered, he stuck out his tongue and licked Chi Cheng's palm.
The moist and itchy touch made Chi Cheng shrink back his hand, and pulled it away.
Chi Cheng turned over, turned his back to Tao Huainan, frowned and said, "If you talk again, go to sleep with brother."
"Then I have to say it too." It was rare for Tao Huainan to be so stubborn with Chi Cheng, "I want you to go to a good school."
"You have to push me away, don't you?" Chi Cheng's voice was obviously showing some temper, "I never said that you don't need to take care of these things."
"I didn't intend to push you away..." Tao Huainan was so anxious that he didn't know what to say, he touched Chi Cheng's elbow from behind, "I don't like you because I've become worse."
"Tao Huainan," Chi Cheng sat up, and asked in a cold voice, "Are you endless?"
Whenever Chi Cheng speaks in this voice, he is really angry. Tao Huainan didn't dare to say any more, he didn't want to make Chi Cheng angry, Tao Huainan felt very uncomfortable every time the two got angry and had conflicts.
"I won't talk anymore." Tao Huainan said in a low voice.
Chi Cheng lifted the quilt and got out of bed, Tao Huainan grabbed him: "What are you doing?"
"I don't want to listen to you right now." Chi Cheng shook his arms, "Let go of me."
Tao Huainan's eyelashes trembled slightly, and said, "I won't talk anymore, you go to sleep."
Chi Cheng was obviously angry, so he went out after all.
Chi Cheng slept on the sofa that night, while Tao Huainan slept on the bed by himself, with his face facing the wall, and couldn't fall asleep. He wanted to go out to coax Chi Cheng, but he didn't know what to say.
Chi Cheng is all for him, but he wants Chi Cheng to fly high, and he doesn't want to fall down on him.
It didn't rain outside that night, so I didn't have to listen to the noisy sound of rain anymore, but there was no heartbeat to listen to either.
It's hard to coax Chi Cheng when he's really angry, especially this time Tao Huainan also doesn't know how to coax him. He really wanted Chicheng to go to the attached middle school. Two years ago, when he was sick and was carried by his brother to the emergency room in the middle of the night to get an injection, many people ran into the emergency room, and two of them were pushed in by a stretcher. People said that the intestines leaked out, and the body was poked with a lot of holes by a knife. They were all students from the nearby high school.
So in Tao Huainan's impression, there is a huge difference between a good school and a bad school. He didn't dare to mention this matter in the past few days, because the facts were in front of him and he had no choice but to worry in his heart. Now that he finally has another chance, he wants Chi Cheng to go to the attached middle school.
Chi Cheng doesn't look at him these days, and doesn't talk to him very much every day.
Tao Huainan was left out in the cold, and he didn't dare to get close to others. Most of the time, he could only listen to his mobile phone or touch his books by himself. When Chi Cheng was studying, he sat beside him, he didn't dare to speak anymore, so he could only quietly accompany him.
Occasionally, Tao Huainan would call him cautiously: "Brother."
Chi Cheng responded coldly with a "hmm".
"Will you take a break?" Tao Huainan put a glass of watermelon juice by his hand, "You drink it, it's so sweet."
"Leave it alone." Chi Cheng didn't look up, just said something.
Tao Huainan then sat back down again, and moved to touch Chi Cheng, with his arms rubbing against the distance of his arms when he moved.
But Chi Cheng still didn't seem to pay attention to him, and moved outside, not sticking to him.
Tao Huainan pursed his lips and stopped moving.
It's been a while since the two of them had any quarrels, and now Chi Cheng loses his temper very rarely, he's much more peaceful than before, and Tao Huainan doesn't bother him too much.
The two brothers were tied together intimately every day, and Tao Huainan always covered his ears and listened to his heartbeat. He could hear his own heart beating along with it, and his heart was warm and rising.
I haven't suffered this crime for a long time, and now I feel very uncomfortable when I am left out.
It was so hard to hope for a rainy day, and just as it started to rain outside, Tao Huainan groped to find Chi Cheng.
Chi Cheng was looking up information on the computer, Tao Huainan walked behind him and gently put his arms around his neck.
Chi Cheng didn't hear it was raining outside, so he tugged at his arm and took it away.
Tao Huainan rubbed his nose with his knuckles, and stood silently behind him.
Chi Cheng crackled and tapped the keyboard and mouse occasionally, and didn't notice that it was raining outside for a long time. Until there was a sudden thunder outside, he felt that Tao Huainan's hand on the back of the chair was obviously exerting force.
Only then did Chi Cheng turn his head and look out the window, not knowing when it was raining so heavily. Tao Huainan was taken aback just now, but now he hasn't recovered from it, he doesn't know when there will be thunder, he blinks his eyes a little bit at a loss, his lips are tightly pursed and he dare not make a sound.
"Come on." Chi Cheng frowned, grabbed Tao Huainan's hand and pulled him over, "Don't you know if it's raining?"
"You pushed me away before I could say anything." Tao Huainan stood beside him, speaking cautiously, looking pitiful, "... don't you get angry?"
Chi Cheng pulled him to his side again, Tao Huainan followed his strength and straddled up, sitting on Chi Cheng's lap, wrapping his arms around his neck.
Chi Cheng rubbed the back of his head gently with one hand, and asked a little bit above, "Scared?"
Children are fine if they don't coax them, but if they coax them, they will feel even more wronged.
Tao Huainan's eyes were red, he first listened to Chi Cheng's heartbeat on his chest, then sat up and kissed his chin.
Chi Cheng was still rubbing his head, saying, "Touching his hair won't scare him."
Tao Huainan kissed him on the chin, and Chi Cheng didn't hide. Tao Huainan kissed him on the face little by little, touching him.
Chi Cheng said of him: "Like a puppy."
"It was a puppy." Tao Huainan said in a low voice.
Chi Cheng didn't speak any more, Tao Huainan leaned against his shoulder, and occasionally raised his head to kiss Chi Cheng's face and chin. Chi Cheng put one hand on him casually, and continued to slide the mouse with the other hand, occasionally flipped his hand to type a few words, the printer hummed, and Chi Cheng typed a lot of study materials.
When Tao Huainan kissed Chi Cheng's mouth, Chi Cheng kissed him while looking at the screen and operating the mouse.
The soft lips touched each other, Tao Huainan sat on Chi Cheng's body and kissed him in aggrieved and humble manner.
