Tao Huainan spoke piously and bravely, with an indomitable momentum, but actually he was flustered and scared. I don't know what Chi Cheng can say, I'm afraid that Chi Cheng will push him away and say he doesn't accept it.
So Tao Huainan pressed his face tightly on Chi Cheng's shoulder, not daring to lift it up.
Time seemed to stand still, Tao Huainan hugged him very hard, if not for the thick clothes the two of them are wearing now, Tao Huainan should be able to hear Chi Cheng's heartbeat.
At first, Chi Cheng didn't have any obvious expression, his eyes were lowered, he didn't speak, and he didn't show any obvious emotions. His silence frightened Tao Huainan to the point of trembling with tension on him.
"You said you'll find it when you find it?" Chi Cheng cleared his throat before speaking, his voice was still a little irritable just now, and he frowned and said, "You want it again?"
"I want it." Tao Huainan hugged him even tighter, putting all the anxiety and fear in his heart into his hands.
"You want it?" Chi Cheng finally raised his hand and put it on Tao Huainan's shoulder, trying to tear him away, "Everything revolves around you."
"Don't circle around me," Tao Huainan quarreled with him, Chi Cheng failed to tear him away, Tao Huainan immediately said, "I'll circle around you, only you."
Tao Huainan put all the courage he had accumulated in the past five years here, no matter what Chi Cheng said, he would immediately pick up.
Chi Cheng failed to tear Tao Huainan away, and lowered his hand, stood up straight, and asked, "Do you think I'm still ten years old? I believe everything you say."
This sentence was very lethal, Tao Huainan opened his mouth but was unable to speak.
Tao Huainan finally reneged on the promise he made when he was ten years old. He said he wouldn't make Chi Cheng feel as sad as he was then, but he didn't.
He was wrapped in Chi Cheng's armor, facing Chi Cheng's warm and soft heart, he cut a long knife on his heart.
"Do you want to eat?" After a brief silence, Chi Cheng's voice returned to the same as before, "Let me go."
Tao Huainan slowly let go, still standing beside Chi Cheng, and said, "I won't talk this time, just watch my performance."
"I don't want to look." Chi Cheng opened the door, frowning and went out.
Tao Huainan walked out after him, and gently closed the door behind him.
Chi Cheng walked in front, Tao Huainan tapped the heel of his blind stick behind him, Chi Cheng walked neither fast nor slow, and before going down the stairs, he said coldly: "Stairs."
Tao Huainan raised his wrist and shook it, showing Chi Cheng his bracelet.
Chi Cheng didn't look at it, turned around and went downstairs with his head down.
Tao Huainan followed him all the time, he didn't even ask where Chi Cheng wanted to take him, he just followed Chi Cheng wherever he went. With his hands in his pockets, Chi Cheng trailed a little tail with a blind stick behind him, and walked slowly through the school and out of the school gate.
As soon as he left the school gate, Tao Huainan reached out and grabbed Chi Cheng's wrist. Chi Cheng turned his head and glanced at him, but didn't move away.
Tao Huainan was able to go to Beijing by himself from home, no matter whether it was a strange city or a strange street, he could actually go by himself. But now he quietly holds Chi Cheng's wrist, but Chi Cheng still doesn't shake him off.
Tao Huainan's fingers were cold, at first he held Chi Cheng through his clothes, then slowly moved to the sleeves, holding half of his wrist and half of his hand.
People passing by always looked at them with obvious or not obvious eyes, mainly looking at Tao Huainan. His identity as a blind man was too conspicuous, and the cane that clicked back and forth was stuck on him like a label.
Tao Huainan's ears turned red, Chi Cheng's face darkened, he reached out and buttoned the hat on Tao Huainan's clothes, the movement was a bit strong, Tao Huainan bowed his head, and said softly, "It's not cold."
Many things are so familiar to them that they have even formed muscle memory. Even though there have been so many years in between, those familiar feelings will come back as soon as we hold hands.
For example, when crossing the road, Chicheng subconsciously lifted the hand held by Tao Huainan, and made a movement of half-blocking him with his arm; Pulled back a bit. These are the reactions of the body before the brain. No matter what words are spoken or what expressions are on the face, these will not change.
These movements are fused into every day they grew up together, like time, piled up together for so many years they have.
Before Tao Huainan came this time, he really didn't think about anything, and he didn't even think about what he would say or do after he came.
After dinner, it was already dark, and Tao Huainan followed Chi Cheng, and it was only at this time that he felt a little real. He really came, saw the little brother, and even held the little brother's wrist.
It is impossible for Chi Cheng to leave him alone, no matter how angry he is, he has to take him to eat while he is angry, and arrange him to sleep after eating.
Chi Cheng opened a room in the hotel, Tao Huainan followed him into the room, inserted the room card into the card slot, Chi Cheng raised his hand and patted on the light.
The room was too warm, Tao Huainan took off his coat, fumbled to hang it on the hanger by the door.
"Can I wear the clothes back?" Tao Huainan touched his sleeves and asked Chi Cheng.
Chi Cheng said "no" with a cold face.
Tao Huainan smiled: "I'll change it with you, and I'll give you the one from the laundry."
Chi Cheng took off his coat and threw it on the bed, sat on a corner of the bed, naturally separated his legs, and glanced at Tao Huainan: "No."
"Put it on for me," Tao Huainan walked over and sat on the edge of the other bed, "or I'll have to wear a sweater and go back home."
Chi Cheng remained indifferent, and said, "You should."
Tao Huainan was waiting for this sentence, and he felt satisfied and comfortable after hearing it. He wanted to say something to Chi Cheng, but the phone rang.
It was Xiaodong who sent the video. He didn't take it seriously when the child wasn't home when he got up in the morning. Tao Xiaodong only felt a "buzz" in his head when he received a call saying that Chicheng was in school.
But Tao Xiaodong was calmer than Chi Cheng after the "Om", not so angry.
The video was sent to Chi Cheng, and when Chi Cheng picked it up, he saw him smiling and asked, "Aren't you surprised? You didn't hit him?"
Chi Cheng said: "Go back and beat me up, I don't care."
Tao Xiaodong laughed after hearing this, turned his head and said to Tang Suoyan next to him, "I'm done pissing off the child."
"If both of you are unwilling, then I'll beat you up," Tang Suoyan said, "You're both used to it."
These two brothers are old-fashioned, and they said something to each other over there, and the words changed in a different way. For a while, Xiaodong and Chi Cheng became the two brothers who were used to the children together.
"Where are you two?" Xiaodong asked, "Where do you live at night?"
Tao Huainan poked his head over there: "Brother, take me out to live."
"Shut up, annoying man." Tao Xiaodong said to him, "When will you be back?"
"Tomorrow." Tao Huainan said.
The two brothers had nothing to do at home after eating, and they chatted on video for a long time. Tao Huainan also sat over later, tentatively sitting next to Chi Cheng, chatting together.
As soon as the video was hung up, Chi Cheng moved to the side, leaning his back against the wall, with his legs resting on the edge of the bed, looking at his phone.
Guo Yiming asked him on WeChat if he would go back at night.
Chi Cheng said, "I won't return."
Tao Huainan called out "brother".
"Sleep with you." Chi Cheng frowned, not looking up.
Tao Huainan slowly lowered his body, resting his face on Chi Cheng's leg, closed his eyes and said, "Don't be angry."
Chi Cheng continued to reply to messages on WeChat, ignoring him.
"Don't be angry." Tao Huainan shook his leg.
Chi Cheng still ignored him, Tao Huainan didn't get up, the two of them maintained this posture, Tao Huainan lay on Chi Cheng's lap, almost falling asleep.
Before today, Chi Cheng would never have been as peaceful as it is now, and it was impossible for Tao Huainan to pillow his leg like this.
But at the end of the day, Chi Cheng was caught off guard by Tao Huainan and bumped into the dormitory. After that, he couldn't hold back, and he was worn out by now.
Tao Huainan seemed like a tired bird had finally returned to its nest, he felt light all over his body, and was so comfortable that he couldn't open his eyes.
After Chi Cheng replied the message, he put his phone aside, leaned his head against the wall, and looked at Tao Huainan. Both were silent, leaning briefly in the warm night.
But no matter how comfortable he was, he couldn't lie down like this forever, so Tao Huainan got up afterwards and went to take a shower.
The water temperature couldn't get hot all the time, Tao Huainan stood beside him to hide from the spray, and stretched out a hand to test the temperature. After several minutes, the water didn't seem to be hot at all.
Tao Huainan had already stripped naked, it was not appropriate to go out like this, he was about to turn off the shower and put on his clothes again to go out to find Chi Cheng, when the door was already pushed open.
Chi Cheng came over, and silently pulled Tao Huainan aside.
After Tao Huainan realized it, his face turned red. In the past, the two of them took a bath together every day and didn't think it was a problem, but now it's different after all.
Chi Cheng turned off the water, and the water heater was not turned on at all just now, so it had to boil for a while.
"Go out and wait." After Chi Cheng finished speaking, he turned around and turned on the fan.
Tao Huainan stood naked and naked, and said "ah" dryly.
Putting on layers of clothes in front of Chi Cheng seemed defensive, but it would be even more strange if he didn't wear them. Chi Cheng had already turned around and left, Tao Huainan hesitated again and again, and finally went out wearing only a pair of trousers.
There is heating and air conditioning in the room, it is definitely not cold. Compared with the cold, what is more difficult for Tao Huainan now is the mental inability to let go.
He couldn't figure out Chi Cheng's mood, so naked, he would inevitably feel a little embarrassed. But even so, Tao Huainan didn't want Chi Cheng to feel that he was deliberately on guard.
Tao Huainan is still thin and his skin is very fair. Compared with a few years ago, he is a little more mature now, but the change is not particularly great. Slender body, slender waist and straight legs.
Chi Cheng's eyes fell on him, Tao Huainan was sitting opposite him with his upper body naked, his face blushed a little, he was embarrassed.
Tao Huainan had a layer of thin pimples on his shoulders, which made him look a little fragile, and he didn't know if it was from the cold or from being too nervous.
Chi Cheng lifted the quilt with his hand and covered Tao Huainan.
"Are you playing tricks on me? Or do you just want to catch a cold?" Chi Cheng raised his eyebrows and asked him.
Tao Huainan's chin was scraped by the corner, he wrapped himself up, and said in a low voice, "What kind of tricks can I play... If I really can... that's okay."
Chi Cheng didn't reply to his words, picked up the phone again, and swipe across the screen.
Tao Huainan wrapped himself in the quilt and sucked his nose.
During the ten minutes before the water was fully boiled, Chi Cheng kept swiping his phone, and Tao Huainan would touch his nose or wipe his face with the back of his hand every once in a while.
"Brother." Tao Huainan called out hesitantly.
Chi Cheng only looked at the phone and not him: "Speak."
"I don't have any underwear to change," Tao Huainan tucked his nose into the quilt, muffled, "What shall I wear tomorrow?"
"Naked." Chi Cheng said.
"it is good."
Chi Cheng raised his eyes and glanced at him, and heard Tao Huainan say softly: "Next time I will prepare in advance, this time I was too flustered."
"What about next time?" Chi Cheng narrowed his eyes.
Tao Huainan nodded and said, "I will come here often in the future."
