Ferocious Dog of Old - Chapter 99
[Chapter 99]
When Xiaodong went to see them in their house in the morning, they both slept soundly. With Chi Cheng facing his back, Tao Huainan was clutching at the edge of his shirt. Tao Xiaodong smiled, turned around and went out again.
Tang Suoyan got up to go to work, the two brothers calmed down, Tao Xiaodong asked in a low voice, “What day is it today? Does he have a class?”
“Tuesday,” Tang Suoyan said, “the second session in the morning.”
“Then don’t worry . , I’ll call him later when I come back,” Tao Xiaodong grabbed a piece of clothes and changed, “I’ll go get them
something delicious .” He touched the back of Tao Xiaodong’s neck with his fingers, and asked him with a smile, “You three are eating delicious food with me behind your back?”
Tao Xiaodong grabbed his hand, scratched his wrist, kissed his wrist again, and whispered. Said: “I don’t carry you, Brother Lin has been asking me to try it. I will taste it first. If it tastes good, we will go next time and carry them behind my back.”
Tang Suoyan’s wrists are really uncomfortable these two days. Injury sequelae no way. He didn’t say or show it, but Xiaodong still knew.
“Come back at night and I’ll fix it for you. Are there any surgeries during the day?”
“Four surgeries,” Tang Suoyan bit his chin, “it doesn’t hurt.”
Tao Xiaodong took out a razor and shaved with one hand The other hand patted Tang Suoyan’s waist, the two of them were tired every day, and their eyes were always full of affection when they looked at each other.
Compared to the two big ones, the two small ones are much more uncomfortable.
When Tao Huainan woke up, he first touched the side, touched An Xin and retracted his hand, and closed his eyes again. Chi Cheng woke him up and looked back.
Tao Huainan pretended not to be awake, and wrapped his arms around Chi Cheng.
Chi Cheng’s voice was hoarse after waking up: “Don’t pretend.”
Tao Huainan hadn’t had such a complete sleep for a long time.
“Good morning, little brother,” Tao Huainan didn’t pretend anymore after being pierced, put his arm back, just woke up with a good smile, “Did you sleep well?”
Chi Cheng sat up, got out of bed and put on his shoes Went to the bathroom.
Tao Huainan slumped on Chi Cheng’s pillow for a while, and then squinted for a few minutes before he was willing to let it go.
Xiaodong came back with the food, and when he opened the door, Chi Cheng was standing in front of Tao Huainan, leaning over, and the two faced each other. It was really close, Xiaodong was stunned for a moment, unable to understand the situation, and for a while he didn’t know whether to say hello and then change his shoes or turn around and go out first.
Chi Cheng heard him open the door, stood up straight, took two steps back, and said, “He said his eyes hurt.”
“Ah,” Xiaodong smiled and said, “No need to explain.”
Tao Huainan sat on the sofa and asked Chi with his face up. Cheng: “Is it red?”
Chi Cheng said lightly, “No.”
“Pretend,” Xiaodong came in after changing his shoes, pinched Tao Huainan’s chin and lifted his face to look at him, “I think you’re pretending. .”
Tao Huainan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry: “I have to be like that?”
“You were like that when you were a child,” Tao Xiaodong pinched his face, “Stop acting like a spoiled child, come and eat.”
Tao Huainan responded and went over to help with the bowls and chopsticks.
Xiaodong is really wronged about the pain in his eyes. When he came to Tao Huainan in the morning, his left eye felt uncomfortable. It was not a pretense. Before my brother came back, Tao Huainan raised his hands and rubbed from time to time. Chi Cheng ignored him at first, and later said, “Why do you always rub your eyes?”
Tao Huainan said, “It hurts a little bit.”
Chi Cheng looked at him for a few seconds, Come over and lean over to take a closer look at his eyes. The two were really close, and each other’s breath could hit each other’s faces when they breathed. Tao Huainan lowered his eyes subconsciously, and Chi Cheng asked him, “I see your eyelashes?
”
Chi Cheng looked at both his upper and lower eyelids, but saw nothing. At this time, Xiaodong came back and hit this scene. It’s better to catch up early than to catch up. Xiaodong’s eyes turned back and forth on the little brothers since he came in.
After eating, Tao Huainan put on a coat and carried a schoolbag to go to class. Chi Cheng glanced at Xiaodong, Xiaodong said, “He can go by himself.”
“I’ll be back after class.” Tao Huainan took the blind The stick, said “bye bye”, opened the door and left.
The door closed gently, and Xiaodong asked, “He’s really grown up, hasn’t he?”
Chi Cheng looked at his phone and said “um”.
“What do you think, little brother?” Tao Xiaodong turned his face to look at Chi Cheng and asked with a smile, “You pulled the big little radish little by little.”
Chi Cheng put down the phone and didn’t speak for a while. Said: “A lot has changed.”
“Is it better or worse?” Xiaodong asked.
Chi Cheng thought for a while and said, “Okay.”
Xiaodong didn’t understand something, shook his head, put his hand on his little brother’s shoulder, and said to him, “I don’t get used to it, whether it’s good or bad, right? It’s different from the kid you know.”
Chi Cheng didn’t speak, Xiaodong added: “This is the time. I haven’t seen each other for five years, you are still you, he is still him, but it is not what it was five years ago. Brother is the same, everyone is the same, the time has passed, it will be gone, and I can’t find it back.”
With Tao Xiaodong and Brother Tang here, the whole family is here, and the atmosphere has not cooled down.
Tao Huainan’s eyes were a little inflamed, Tang Suoyan put eye drops on him, Tao Huainan raised his head for a long time, but a drop of water fell down after sitting upright, sliding on his face like a tear.
His cell phone kept ringing, and Jiang Ji kept sending him messages on WeChat. Tao Huainan touched the phone and turned it on after dropping the eye drops.
“Have you heard the song?”
“Haven’t there been any movement in the past few days? Don’t make a sound when the group calls you!”
“Are you going tomorrow? Hello!”
” Hello!”
“Tao Huainan!”
Tao Huainan wiped the drop of water on his face, He replied with a voice: “I didn’t see the news, I’m not going, my little brother is back.”
Jiang Ji’s voice “Tao Huainan” was a bit irritable, Tao Xiaodong glanced here and asked: ” Which friend is this?”
Tao Huainan said, “Jiang Ji, I said it before.”
“Ah,” Tao Xiaodong nodded, “I remember.”
Chi Cheng watched the movie on the edge, his eyes on the screen I didn’t turn my eyes, and I didn’t show any expression.
Tao Huainan got Xiao Pidun out after a while, pushed him to Chi Cheng’s side, and sat beside Chi Cheng’s legs. Chi Cheng retracted his legs and did not move his position.
Tao Huainan’s cell phone rang again, this time he didn’t listen any more and turned his cell phone to silent.
Chi Cheng said, “I’ll go if I have something to do.” ” It’s okay
,” Tao Huainan said immediately, “I’m not going anywhere.”
Xiaodong made an annoying noise next to him, and deliberately said to Tang Suoyan, “I can go anywhere, too. Don’t go.”
Tang Suoyan put a small tomato in his mouth: “Don’t be annoying.”
Tao Huainan didn’t care that he was teased by his brother, smiled and sat next to Chi Cheng and listened to the movie.
Three days is really short, and it will be gone before I can taste it.
Chi Cheng had to go back. Tao Huainan had a class in the morning, and Chi Cheng probably got on the bus by the time he came back from get out of class.
Tao Huainan was reluctant to get up early in the morning, but there was nothing he could do. He followed behind Chi Cheng and whispered, “Little brother, I’ll pick you up during your holiday, okay?”
“You can take a break,” Chi Cheng said calmly, disapprovingly, “I don’t need you.”
He has always had this attitude toward Tao Huainan for the past two days, saying whether he is cold or not, but not eager.
Tao Huainan didn’t care about his attitude and continued: “Don’t forget to go to the laundry to pick up my clothes. Brother Tang bought them for me. They are precious.” , okay?”
He leaned against the wall with his hands behind him as he spoke, listening to Chi Cheng wash. Chi Cheng rinsed his mouth and spat out the foam in his mouth: “Go to class, don’t talk about it.”
Chi Cheng’s indifference had been hanging firmly on him, but Tao Huainan couldn’t let it loose.
Tao Xiaodong drove Chi Cheng to the station, and Chi Cheng said that he would come back next year if he had time.
“It’s time to squeeze, if you come back I have to fly to Beijing.” Tao Xiaodong said, “Some children will go if I don’t go.”
“He shouldn’t go,” Chi Cheng said, “the New Year’s Eve. There are too many people, it’s messy.”
“Let’s toss with him,” Xiaodong smiled, “it’s not bad to squeeze.” -Is
your little brother gone?
Pan Xiaozhuo asked on WeChat.
– “Let’s go.”
Tao Huainan replied while walking on the road.
Pan Xiaozhuo: I’ll find you in the afternoon?
Tao Huainan: “Tomorrow, Xiaozhuo.”
Pan Xiaozhuo: Today!
Tao Huainan: “I’m a little sleepy today, and I want to go back to sleep.”
Pan Xiaozhuo: That’s alright, come to me tomorrow, and let’s go eat sauce noodles.
Tao Huainan said “yes” and put the phone away.
It’s not cold these days, and I even sweat a little while walking on the road. Tao Huainan didn’t take a taxi when he came out of school, and walked slowly with his navigation on. He didn’t want to go back first, Chi Cheng had already left, and neither brother nor Tang was there, so when he returned to the empty house, he felt empty.
The snow that had fallen before has almost melted away in the past few days, and there are not so many obstacles on the road. This way, he didn’t get tired. Tao Huainan walked for a long time. When he went up the stairs, he realized that he had come to their old house.
Tao Huainan often came back, he took out the key and twisted the door, leaned his blind stick against the door, opened the shoe cabinet and took slippers.
The heating in the old area is not so good, it may also be that there is too much scale in the pipes, and the old house in winter is not as warm as Tang brother. Tao Huainan was a little hot walking outside, took off his coat and hung it at the door.
The last time I came back, Tao Huainan hung a small pumpkin pendant on the window handle, which was given by a female classmate in the class. Tao Huainan took it off in the past, and opened the window for a while to let in the wind.
He is so familiar here that he can go exactly where he wants without reaching out or touching the wall.
Tao Huainan yawned and walked slowly to the room. This is the room he and Chi Cheng used to have. There is only one pillow on the bed now.
After a yawn, Tao Huainan was about to sit on the edge of the bed, but suddenly stopped.
He stood on the spot defensively, and hurriedly touched around with his hands, but only touched the wall.
Tao Huainan moved towards the bed, held his breath and asked, “Who?
” Keen, even though the other party didn’t make a sound, Tao Huainan caught the rubbing sound of the fabric as he stepped into the room.
But there was only so much he could do. He knew that someone was there, but he couldn’t do anything about it. No matter what the other party wanted to do, he couldn’t resist.
Tao Huainan frowned and stood there in vain, quickly thinking about the different ways he would deal with the different identities of the other party in his mind.
His sharpness was not unreasonable, there was indeed someone in the room. He was sleeping here when Tao Huainan turned the key, and when Tao Huainan walked in, he deliberately didn’t make a sound.
But in the end he still couldn’t bear to see him scared.
“Me.” The
other party suddenly said, and Tao Huainan froze in place, too surprised to speak.
“It’s okay,” he said, sitting up straight, looking at Tao Huainan, “don’t be afraid.”
