    Chapter Index

    Jiang Tian didn’t sleep well, but he still had several dreams.

    I dreamed that Du Cheng poked his head out from behind the smoke and said: “Huanyu, he has grown so big? The last time I saw him was ten years ago.”

    I dreamed that Ji Huanyu said to Jiang Ou: “Your son also likes men, are you happy?”

    I dreamed that Jiang Ou was screaming, and he was standing in the long alley outside Wutong, with the old regiment leader lying motionless at his feet. Old Man Ding glanced at he and the cat and said, “It’s difficult, we can’t save him. Let’s go.” Then he closed the courtyard door in front of him.

    He stood there, feeling tired and ridiculous.Although he didn’t hold anything in his hands, he wanted to rest for a while with his knees up.

    He tried several times, but couldn’t bend down. He just felt tired and irritable, so he woke up from his dream.

    The moment he opened his eyes, Jiang Tian didn’t know where he was sleeping. He only saw Sheng Wang sitting in front of him, his eyes reflecting the warm light, looking at him intently.

    “Brother.” Sheng Wang called he very softly, then leaned over on one knee, kissed the center of his eyebrows, the ends of his eyes and lips, and whispered: “I’m 18 years old, I love you.”

    The irritating and sad emotions in the dream disappeared instantly, as if someone had briefly removed the steel plate on his back, allowing him to bend down and take a breath.

    Jiang Tian turned his back on guests and grabbed the back of Sheng Wang’s neck to kiss her back, but suddenly remembered that they were still in the living room, the most dangerous place in the house, and someone might come at any time.

    He stiffened for a moment and let go of his hand.

    “What time is it?” Jiang Tian asked in a low voice.When he sat up straight, he realized that he was covered with a velvet blanket, but it had slipped down to his waist due to his previous actions.

    “It’s about 1:20.” Sheng Wang told the time without even looking at his phone.

    Jiang Tian’s heart softened. He reached out and touched the other person’s face and asked, “Have you been waiting?”

    “No, I went up and down the stairs several times and checked the time impatiently.” Sheng Wang pointed at the remote control on the coffee table and said, “I was just thinking about waking you up and pretending to change the channel. You may have felt the murderous intention and woke up on your own.”

    Jiang Tian laughed and was about to say something when the bedroom door in the distance was opened, and a pale light leaked out from inside, cutting straight through the sofa.

    The two people on the sofa separated in a hurry.

    Sheng Mingyang came over with his slippers on, held the back of the sofa and asked in a low voice: “Xiao Tian is awake? Are you hungry? Sister Sun’s white fungus soup is still warm in the pot.”

    “I’m not hungry.” Jiang Tian lifted the blanket and glanced towards the bedroom.

    He is not good at getting along with others and does not like to show kindness, but it does not mean that he is ignorant.He knew that whether it was Ji Huanyu or Du Cheng, no matter how much shadow they brought to he and Jiang Ou, it had nothing to do with the Sheng family.Sheng Mingyang could actually choose not to bear all this, but he accepted them all.

    This gave Jiang Tian a very strange feeling, as if something he had always been carrying was suddenly taken away by Sheng Mingyang.It seems that he should be more relaxed, but in fact he is not.This was different than what he had been used to for years, but he knew intellectually that he should say thank you or apologize.

    “Today——”

    Jiang Tian was silent for a moment, and was interrupted by Sheng Mingyang as soon as he opened his mouth: “What happened today was an accident, and it has nothing to do with any of you. Even if there is something wrong, it is something we, the elders, need to communicate with. I didn’t want you to go to the hospital… Forget it, this is it now, don’t get too old to think about it, it all happened so many years ago.”

    He said this, but his eyebrows were furrowed.Maybe it was because he stayed up too late, but his face was full of tiredness.Probably everyone who says “forget it, don’t think about it” is just expressing a hope.

    Jiang Tian looked at he’s face and fell silent again.

    Sheng Wang glanced at Brother He, folded the blanket, and changed the subject: “Dad, are you coming out?”

    “Oh.” Sheng Mingyang looked at the empty cup in his hand and said, “Your Aunt Jiang has a fever. Pour her some water.”

    “Fever?”

    “Don’t worry, I’ve taken the medicine. I just can’t sleep well, and I panic when I turn off the light. I’ve suffered such a big stimulation today, which would probably be terrible for anyone else. If those things happen to me, I might break down for a while. She doesn’t like to lose her temper, and she keeps it to herself when she’s unhappy. Maybe it’s a good thing to vent it out like this today. I made an appointment with a friend to see a doctor, and I’ll take her to see her after the year and have a chat. During this time… let’s be more considerate of each other.”

    “Okay, it’s getting late. You two have been working hard all night, so you two should go to bed quickly.” Sheng Mingyang patted the back of the sofa, suddenly glanced at the silent TV, and pointed at Sheng Wang as if joking: “You said you wanted to watch a movie here for a while, but are you watching a silent movie?”

    For a moment, Jiang Tian felt Sheng Mingyang’s eyes sweeping over him, whether intentionally or not.

    Sheng Wang moved his lips and said, “Otherwise, when my brother is sleeping, should I turn on the loudspeaker and blast him?”

    Sheng Mingyang urged a few more words and went to the kitchen with a water glass.Soon after, there was a creaking sound, and he closed the door and returned to the bedroom, but the door was not closed tightly, and the light changed from a block to a very thin strip, still falling on the sofa.

    The two boys sat at opposite ends of the sofa, cut into two islands by the line.

    After a while, someone crossed the line, grabbed Jiang Tian’s hand, shook it and said, “Go upstairs?”

    “Yeah.” Jiang Tian glanced towards the bedroom and dragged him back to the bedroom on the second floor.

    I just had a good sleep on the sofa. He is actually not too sleepy.But Sheng Wang, whose eyelids started to tremble, kept following him around as if he had made some mistake.

    He washes himself and Sheng Wang leans at the door.He made the bed, Sheng Wang grabbed a corner of the quilt to help.He dug out the pile of information books from Brother Chu. Sheng Wang took out one and said that he could share some.

    “What’s wrong with you?” Jiang Tian finally had to turn around and catch him.

    Sheng Wang stared at He’s finger, and after a moment of silence, he held it back and said, “I won’t pull my hand away from now on.”

    Jiang Tian was stunned for a moment before realizing what he was talking about.He was a little dumbfounded at first, and then more complex emotions came over him, and he suddenly didn’t know what to answer.

    After a long time, he blinked and said, “I’m afraid not.”

    Of course, he knew why Sheng Wang reacted that way. If he didn’t do that, with Ji Huanyu’s disgusting energy, he didn’t know what crazier things he would say, and probably every sentence would be directed at him.He is Jiang Ou’s last line of defense. If even this line collapses, it’s not far from going crazy.

    It’s just that reason is reason and clarity is clarity.He understands all the reasons, but it doesn’t mean that he won’t feel sad when his hands become empty.This is the helplessness and incomprehension between he and Shengwang.

    They simply quarrel, conflict, and conflicts constantly break out, or they feel boring, boring, and disgusted with each other while passing time.All the triggers under normal circumstances are not so difficult to accept rationally, because when people stand at the end of a quarrel, they are always more bored than loved, so they are not so sad.

    But they don’t have these, they only have to do what they understand.Just like he is doing right now.

    “I am a high-risk person now.” Jiang Tian’s tone was a little self-deprecating, but he slowly calmed down, “My mother and your father should have listened to what Ji Huanyu said.”

    “No, everyone can see that he was jumping over the wall and biting people in a hurry.” Sheng Wang said.

    Jiang Tian shook his head: “If you heard it, you heard it.”

    They may find it ridiculous and not believe it, but words are like knives, and the words they say will eventually leave a mark on their hearts, and then pop up inadvertently.

    Whether intentionally or unintentionally, they will become suspicious and sensitive unconsciously.

    Sheng Wang lowered his eyes and held Jiang Tian’s fingers tightly.After a long time, he said: “My dad is half liberal and half old-fashioned. I remember someone mentioned it to him before…”

    He paused for a moment, then continued: “I mentioned homosexuality-related topics, but he didn’t react much. He didn’t say anything about so-and-so being disgusting or perverted. Last time we talked about the case in the hospital, the old men and he were in a hurry. You know my dad’s character. He just follows what others say, which does not represent his own meaning.”

    In fact, this is only half the truth. Sheng Mingyang is indeed half enlightened and half traditional.Whether other people’s sons like women or men, whether they are with people or demons, he accepts them well and can even pack a big red envelope to sincerely send blessings.That’s because he doesn’t like to gossip and can’t care less.

    But his own son is different.

    He didn’t intend to mention these high hopes. He just wanted to tell Jiang Tian the good things: “Aunt Jiang… is also because she has a knot in her heart. After the year, the doctor will have a good talk with her and resolve the knot. When she won’t be prejudiced against these things because of scum, it will be much easier.”

    “The high school is too close to home, but the university is different. The mountains are high and the emperor is far away. Unlike here at the Affiliated High School, the teachers more or less know my dad and your mom.” Sheng Wang said: “I will work harder to go to the same school as you, rent a house, and bring my cat son with me. There is a saying that the smell is far away and the smell is near. At that time, both of us were very fragrant. If we work hard with them, one day we will eventually be able to make sense.”

    “Now my dad dares to transfer me to another school if I disagree with him, and the university will no longer do it. I don’t believe that if I get admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University, he will say, ‘Let’s go, in order to prevent you from falling in love, let’s change schools.'”

    Jiang Tian was finally amused by he’s words and laughed twice.

    Shengwang suddenly became energetic and threw him on the bed and kissed him fiercely for a long time.

    In fact, in the final analysis, it is just the wrong timing. Sometimes Shengwang wishes that time would pass faster. It would be better to lie down and open his eyes when he is already an adult, in college, or working. If he had met Jiang Tian at that time, I am afraid it would be different.

    So just wait a little longer, just get through these two years.

    When chatting, “high school” and “university” can be conveyed in just a few words, and it takes less than two seconds.But when I open my eyes, the days are still crawling forward slowly.

    He The mood that they finally relaxed at night was completely destroyed early the next morning, because Jiang Ou was in really bad condition.She tried her best to calm down, spoke with a smile, and pulled Aunt Sun to work in the kitchen, trying to make a good birthday meal for Jiang Tian.

    After she finishes one thing, she rushes to find the next one, without even allowing herself a second to relax.It turned out that Jiang Tian just said that he wanted to go out with Sheng Wang, and she accidentally made a whole casserole.

    A pot full of scalding stew spilled all over the kitchen, making her feet red.

    “Auntie, we just went to get the cake. We had ordered it before.” Sheng Wang didn’t know what she was thinking, or whether she didn’t hear what Qing Jiang Tian said, so she explained in confusion.

    “I know, I know.” Jiang Ou sat on the sofa and applied ointment on the burned area.She whispered a few times, and then said apologetically: “Auntie, I’m fine, I just got distracted.”

    As a result, none of them mentioned going out again, and asked the cake shop to deliver the things instead.

    There are two cakes, both of which were ordered by Shengwang a long time ago. One is for eating, and the other is fondant that can be kept.This idea came to him from the WeChat group. Carp and Chili made an appointment to learn this during the winter vacation, saying that once it was done, they could keep it for a long time.

    The fondant cake he ordered for Jiang Tian was in a small house. In front of the house stood a group of Q-version villains, Jiang Ou, Old Man Ding, Gao Tianyang, Zhao Xi, Lin Beiting, he himself and a cat, all surrounding the villain representing Jiang Tian. It was lively and lively.He hesitated for a long time, and for the sake of the relationship between father and son, he went through the back door and added Sheng Mingyang.

    There is a sign next to the house that says Best 18 Years Old.

    But when the cake came in, the kitchen was in a mess and the house was silent.

    The cake is packed in a transparent box. It looks beautiful from a distance, but there are some flaws when you look up close.Shengwang uses the best sugar in the store and can keep it for many years.But on the way there, cracks appeared in several places, whether it was knocked or something.

    Sheng Wang was a little anxious. The deliveryman kept apologizing, but Jiang Tian took the cake and said, “I took it upstairs.”

    This is an 18-year-old gift given to him by the person he likes. Everyone he cares about is around him. It is perfect and beautiful, and he must treasure it well.Although the reality is completely different.

    In view of Jiang Ou’s recurring fever, he was in a restless state every day.Sheng Mingyang had to postpone the arranged banquet indefinitely, and had to explain it to everyone invited.

    Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian took on most of the trivial matters for him, which kept him from being too overwhelmed.

    Sheng Mingyang said on the phone to others: “Fortunately, I have two worry-free sons.”

    He is actually very good to Jiang Tian, but he has always kept a proper distance because he knows that Jiang Tian is not an easy person to get close to.he had never used “my son” to describe Jiang Tian before, but he mentioned it frequently in the past two days.

    These words became a kind of emphasis and reminder in the ears of Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian.As Jiang Tian said before, Ji Huanyu’s words were like a dull knife, grinding a mark in their hearts, not bleeding, but still painful.

    So much so that both Sheng Mingyang and Jiang Ou would always unconsciously observe Jiang Tian and stare at his every move.

    Under this kind of gaze, it happened many times that a certain person suddenly pulled his hand away, so many times that they themselves became a little numb.

    So on the last day of the winter vacation, Sheng Wang grabbed his cell phone and went downstairs to eat, sitting on the far left side of the sofa while waiting.After a while, Jiang Tian followed him downstairs and sat on the far right as usual. There was no light leaking from the bedroom door in the middle, but he was still separated by mountains and seas.

    Sheng Wang stared at the blank space and suddenly had a strange idea.

    If there wasn’t that rental house waiting for them in the distance, if the environment he and Jiang Tian lived in day and night were like this, if sitting on opposite sides and drawing boundaries had become a conditioned daily routine, would they still be considered a couple?

    It’s like there are people standing around who can’t see their faces clearly. When he opens his mouth, they stab him in the face.When Jiang Tian opened his mouth, they stabbed him.

    As time goes by, will you no longer be able to tell who caused that sadness?
