Shu Jin guessed that Sheng Xinghe's words were just a consolation. Sheng Xinghe was over five years old at that time and had already started to remember things.
Possibly aware of what he was thinking, Sheng Xinghe continued: "Really."
Shu Jin grabbed the clothes on Sheng Xinghe's back and didn't dare to ask Sheng Xinghe whether it hurt or not. He would rather he really didn't remember how he felt at the time. He clenched his teeth and didn't let go, and asked tremblingly, "Then you remember me?"
For the first time in several years they talked about it.
Did Sheng Xinghe remember one of the children who played games in the open space next to the factory, Shu Jin
"I don't remember." Sheng Xinghe said, "Actually, I have a very vague impression of that day. How did I go to the hospital and how did I return home... Those memories are very shallow, and I can't even remember the pain at that time."
He paused and said to Shu Jin, "You know, the brain actually makes up some memories. The more you think about it, the more real it will be, and the more perfect the details will be."
Shu Jin listened quietly, and his heart gradually became calm.
Will what Sheng Xinghe said be true
In fact, he was not sure about what he called "remembering a little bit of his childhood". At least he couldn't remember it at all before. Otherwise, how could he have stood on the moral high ground and really thought that his family was helping Sheng Xinghe to do it? Amazing charity. But the memory suddenly rushed into his mind one day, and it was unclear whether it was because of an incentive or just a psychological suggestion.
I felt something soft and moist on my forehead.
A few seconds later, Shu Jin realized that it was Sheng Xinghe's lips.
Like a frightened bird, he hid in Sheng Xinghe's arms and eased in a gentle kiss. Even if the trembling continued for a long time, he did not stop, but the warm embrace gave him a down-to-earth sense of security.
In his sleep that night, Shu Jin had a long-awaited dream of the past.
In the evening, he and Sheng Xinghe both wore short-sleeved shorts and walked their dogs by the river. Going to a place where no one was around, Puff broke free from the leash and started running after a while. They went down to the almost dry river bed, picked up the stones and floated them, and whoever's small stones were the first to hit the water level stone in the middle of the river.
Shu Jin squinted one eye with difficulty. Because he couldn't control this advanced skill, his eyelids kept shaking. The stone brushed the water level stone several times and fell into the water with a thud.
Sheng Xinghe searched for a moment in the riverbed, and soon found a suitable pebble, which hit the water level stone with a single blow.
Shu Jin was defeated, observed Sheng Xinghe's movements, and said dissatisfiedly, "It's not fair!"
Sheng Xinghe turned his head: "What?"
Shu Jin complained, "You originally only had one eye, so you didn't need to aim!"
Sheng Xinghe laughed: "...you're really a scumbag." After speaking, he went around behind Shu Jin and helped him cover his right eye, "Come on, try it too. If you can't hit it, you can shovel puffs of shit today."
Not far away, Puff is already looking for a good site to start making Baba.
Shu Jin jumped away unconvinced: "I'm not afraid, come here, you first find me a stone like yours!"
When I woke up in the morning, Shu Jin's mood became much lighter.
For a moment, he was still in a dream, and he didn't know where he was, but Sheng Xinghe's sleeping face caught his eye, and the four entangled legs also reminded him of the fact that Sheng Xinghe came back to him.
Sheng Xinghe didn't open his eyes, probably before he woke up.
The phone suddenly rang briefly.
Sheng Xinghe frowned, but before opening his eyes, Shu Jin quietly turned around his arm and touched the phone on the bedside table.
Shu Zhaoyuan sent him a message.
He almost forgot about Shu Zhaoyuan's coming out, his heart trembled when he saw the first half, but he was relieved when he saw the second half.
Shu Zhaoyuan said in a text message that he had an appointment with a friend to talk about things today, which was very important, so he couldn't come for the time being.
Shu Jinru was in the cracks, he just hoped that the time would last longer, he didn't want to see Shu Zhaoyuan, especially when Sheng Xinghe was here, he hoped that the longer the better, it wouldn't matter if Shu Zhaoyuan never came again.
After getting up and taking a shower, Sheng Xinghe brushed his teeth in the bathroom.
Shu Jin walked over slowly, gently hugged Sheng Xinghe's waist from behind, and then put his face on Sheng Xinghe's back shoulder without speaking.
Sheng Xinghe let him hold it.
The two conjoined twins finished washing in the bathroom, before Sheng Xinghe turned to ask him what he wanted to eat.
Shu Jin let go: "There is a soup dumpling nearby, I'll take you to eat."
Sheng Xinghe said yes.
Before going out, Shu Jin stopped Sheng Xinghe: "Brother, wait a minute."
He dug out a scarf from the closet, looking new and not his style. He asked Sheng Xinghe to bow his head: "It's so cold outside, wear a scarf."
Sheng Xinghe came in a hurry and let him surround himself: "How about you?"
Shu Jin was wearing a turtleneck sweater, his eyes dodging: "I don't like wearing scarves."
Sheng Xinghe's expression seemed to ask why he bought it.
Shu Jin: "I bought it before, and I bought it when I saw it and thought it looked good."
Sheng Xinghe was very suitable for wearing this scarf. He didn't ask any more questions. Maybe Shu Jin's face would go red if he asked again.
The two came to the breakfast shop, Shu Jin ordered the order, and the boss skillfully asked the man to pack it for Shu Jin: "Two soup dumplings, take them away."
Shu Jin said, "I won't pack today, I'll eat here."
The boss changed the order and looked at Sheng Xinghe more. The businessman was very flexible. He looked at Shu Jin with a smile and said, "Yo, it's been a year, I remember correctly, it's the first time you dine in!"
Shu Jin replied, "I'm usually alone, I don't want to take your place."
The shop was very lively, they found a seat and sat down.
Sheng Xinghe asked, "Do you usually buy breakfast here every day?"
"It's not every day. I'll buy it every few days. Sometimes I oversleep and buy bread downstairs in the company." Shu Jin took chopsticks, scalded them in boiling water, and carefully wiped the table with a paper towel. "But eating here is the first time since I moved here."
Sheng Xinghe said: "It's different from what I thought."
"What's different?"
"Be careful of being hot." Sheng Xinghe reminded.
The guys in the store quickly brought two hot soup dumplings and kelp soup.
Shu Jin did not eat outside food before, nor did he like to visit such street shops. But with the slightly greasy tabletop, disposable chopsticks, clean and delicious food, and the noisy diners around him, Shu Jin integrated very well, as if he had grown up in this market since he was a child. .
Shu Jin didn't know what to think, and was a little embarrassed: "I'll take you to delicious food at noon."
Sheng Xinghe didn't mean that, but didn't explain: "Okay."
The man was busy and frizzy, and the vinegar dish was placed on the edge of the table, just to the right of Sheng Xinghe.
Shu Jin calmly gave him a push, as if nothing had happened, and moved with his eyelashes down. When Sheng Xinghe took his first bite, he nervously raised his head and asked how it tasted.
Sheng Xinghe was slightly surprised and said, "It's delicious."
Shu Jin's eyes lit up: "I knew you would like it when I first came here!"
While the two were eating, Shu Jin said regretfully, "But this place will definitely not be open during the Spring Festival. Look at the notice on the wall, we will be on vacation tomorrow."
Sheng Xinghe arrived: "Well, we can do something else."
Shu Jin agreed.
Having said that, after breakfast, Shu Jin suggested going to the supermarket to buy some stock.
The huge shopping mall was crowded with people shopping for New Year's goods. Shu Jin wanted to buy everything when he saw it, and every time he wondered whether Sheng Xinghe liked it or not, and whether Sheng Xinghe's appetite had changed in recent years.
After passing an area, he suddenly looked over there: "Brother, wait for me here."
Sheng Xinghe said yes.
Shu Jin hesitated for a moment: "Don't walk around."
People came and went, Sheng Xinghe changed to a single trolley, took out his mobile phone from his pocket and pressed it.
Shu Jin's cell phone vibrated, and he was surprised when he took it out. The screen showed an unfamiliar number... It was Sheng Xinghe's call.
Sheng Xinghe was very calm, and rubbed his head with his hand: "Call me if you don't see me."
Shu Jin held the phone, his heart was burning hot, and he walked away without daring to turn his head.
After walking a long distance, his palms were still hot, and he saved Sheng Xinghe's name into his mobile phone again, so that they seemed to really have an intersection again.
No longer empty, connected through fantasies.
But a person who can hear his voice immediately after a phone call.
