Pavilion in the garden

After the two of them talked about the past, it was already very late.

Xiao Huai had already arranged a room for him, the same as before.

"Maybe you will get up later tomorrow?"

He stood by the door and smiled playfully.

"what ever."

Ji Tingxie ignored his mysterious digression, bypassed him and went straight into the room.

As expected, Xiao Huai couldn't help but let out a low sigh.

"Good night, Xiaoxie who is not cute at all."

Xiao Huai wrinkled his face as if heartbroken, moved away from the edge of the door frame, and closed the door behind him.

Ji Tingxie opened the closet, and it was full of clothes.

As the seasons change, new ones are added in time, which is enough to see its intentions.

He took off his coat, took out the neatly folded bathrobe, and planned to take a hot bath first.

The phone in his pocket vibrated violently.

It was Ji Yi, who hung up after a second.

Thinking that he should have just finished lunch, he stretched out his hand and pressed the callback.

There was almost no pause, and the call was connected in the next second.

"elder brother."

Ji Yi was ecstatic, his normally deep voice rose a lot.

"Aren't you asleep yet?"

He asked again with concern, with a hint of impatience in his tone.

"not yet."

Ji Tingxie responded and stopped talking.He was never used to small talk.

Ji Yi is on the contrary, as long as the other party is him, no matter what is going on or not, he can continue the conversation like this, and he will never have nothing to say.

"Brother, you're home alone... are you okay?"

He was inexplicably speechless and couldn't help asking.

"Fortunately."

After a second pause, he continued, "I'm at a friend's house."

There was silence for two or three seconds, and both of them were silent.

"Pretty good, so lively."

Ji Yi continued, with a calm tone, as if smiling silently on the other side of the phone.

Holding the phone, Ji Tingxie turned his body sideways, looked out the window, and at the same time gave an inaudible "hmm".

"Is it with Xiao Huai?"

Ji Tingxie stared at a spot in the night sky, and responded again.

"elder brother..."

As if right in front of his eyes, he called again in a low voice, as if he could get closer to him this way.

As if Ji Tingxie hadn't heard of it, she turned away from the window and turned away from the window.

"Xiaoyi, Happy New Year."

The voice over there stopped, but the faint breathing sound became more and more obvious.

"I'm going to bed first."

Before he could say anything more, Ji Tingxie hung up the phone, put the phone casually on the table beside him, turned and went into the bathroom.

When he came out of the hot bath, he felt much more comfortable, and the faint chill on his body finally dissipated.

It was still too cold.

Wrapped in pajamas and lay down on the big soft bed.

It was still a light and soft quilt, which was warmed by the heater and felt very comfortable against the body.

Ji Tingxie shrank a small part of her neck that was exposed in the air, and began to sleep.

The moment I closed my eyes, until the second before I fell asleep, the night on the island repeatedly appeared in my mind.

"Did you sleep well?"

When Xiao Huai went downstairs, it was already lunch time.

He walked slowly down the stairs, idly greeting those seated in the dining room.

Still as enthusiastic as ever, the smile on the corner of his lips is warm.

Ji Tingxie ignored him and continued to eat from his own bowl.

Seeing him coming down, the servant hurriedly prepared an extra pair of bowls and chopsticks, and took out the meals that had been hot in the kitchen.

Xiao Huai let out a "tsk", and without hesitation, he pulled the chair opposite him and sat down.

He took a piece of fish with chopsticks, put it in his mouth to chew, and opened his mouth to the person opposite.

"What would you like to arrange for the afternoon?"

Ji Tingxie finally finished his last bite, put down the bowl and chopsticks, and then looked up at him.

"It's okay to stay at home."

"That's not okay, you just came here one night and you're leaving?"

Xiao Huai's usual idle face finally changed and became serious.

"Anyway, staying here is still waiting."

Ji Tingxie didn't look at him, but bent his lips and raised his brows lightly, which seemed a bit teasing.

"Xiaoxie, I was wrong. I shouldn't have left the beauty alone to go to sleep."

Xiao Huai looked heartbroken, and that overly remorseful look made people laugh.

Seeing his exaggerated acting skills, Ji Tingxie smiled even more.

"Speak the truth."

Xiao Huai looked serious and continued, "I haven't been to "Lis" for a long time, how about going to join in the fun tonight?"

When speaking, he couldn't help leaning forward, raised his eyebrows, and his tone was a little excited.

"Didn't you have enough fun last night?"

Ji Tingxie was unmoved, and asked indifferently.

"how come."

"How can there be too many fun things?"

While talking, Xiao Huai turned the small and exquisite porcelain bowl in his hand, smiling playfully.

Ji Tingxie was noncommittal, and his eyes fell on his hand.

"Don't want to go, or can't go?"

Xiao Huai shifted his gaze to his face, and slowly stopped the spinning movement of his hands.

"It's both."

After a second pause, he continued, "That place doesn't suit me anymore."

Raising their eyes, the two looked straight at each other, neither dodging nor avoiding.

For a moment, there seemed to be something strange in the air.

Xiao Huai twitched the corners of his mouth, still smiling cynically.

He put down the porcelain bowl he had been holding in his hand again, and there was a faint crisp sound the moment he put it down.

"That's right. It's been so many years, and you're not the boy who made his debut."

As he spoke, his smile widened, but his eyes were firmly fixed on the person in front of him.

Ji Tingxie murmured "Mmm" through his nose, settled his normal sitting posture, bent his arms and lazily supported his head, and looked at him in the same way.

"Yes. I have grown up, and you have grown up too."

Ji Tingxie spoke softly, his usual cold voice was tinged with warmth, it sounded very soft.

"Haha... Is Xiaoxie complimenting me?"

Xiao Huai couldn't hold it any longer, and couldn't help laughing, his whole face was stained with excitement for a while.

"No. I'm just stating a fact."

Ji Tingxie said softly, and continued, "It seems that you are not very mature now."

Hearing this, the smile on Xiao Huai's lips almost didn't crooked, he quickly stopped smiling and looked at him seriously.

"You're just a younger brother, why don't you let me be immature for a while?"

The curve of the corners of Ji Tingxie's lips gradually widened, and he remained silent, still looking at him with his head up in a funny way.

"Ah, I convince you."

"If you're not mature, you're not mature."

Xiao Huai simply gave up on himself, bent his body in the same shapeless manner, and looked at the opposite person boredly.

I saw his smiling eyes, and there seemed to be sparks in his eyes.

Really nice.

Xiao Huai sighed again in his heart, and felt a burst of honor for himself for digging this younger brother.

Couldn't help opening his mouth, he became glib again, his voice seemed a little greasy.

"Xiaoxie, have you made friends now?"

As he said that, as if he was about to eavesdrop on some secret in the next second, he slowly leaned over.

The smile on Ji Tingxie's face remained unchanged, and his eyes were straight and soft.

no answer.

Just when Xiao Huai stopped watching the show and was about to sit back in his seat, he heard his answer.

"probably."

Xiao Huai immediately stopped his moving body, froze, and looked at Ji Tingxie who had been sitting quietly opposite him.

I saw that he was calm and composed, and even smiled at himself.

Of course Ji Tingxie knew what he meant.

The reason why the so-called friend did not add the prefix of male and female gender is only because he knows his secret thing.

Yes, the psychiatrist was introduced to him by him.

"what?"

Xiao Huai blurted out a question, and couldn't help looking at him in surprise.

"I want to try it once."

Ji Tingxie retracted his outstretched arms and looked up at him, his voice calm.

"you..."

"Who do you want to try? When did it happen? Does that person know?"

Xiao Huai asked again and again, his voice could not help but be a little eager.

He felt that it was difficult for him to digest for a while, and his mouth was not smooth.

His eyes fixed on Ji Tingxie's face momentarily, as if he wanted to see something.

The next second, the person in front of him got up and motioned him to move to the living room.

Seeing them leave the dining room, the servant came forward immediately and quickly cleared the dining table.

The two walked to the other side of the house.

Xiao Huai casually sat down on the sofa, its soft texture immediately dented due to the sudden force.

Ji Tingxie didn't sit down right away, but looked at the coffee table next to him.

The tea set was placed on top like this, neat and clean, but unbelievably new, apparently not being used much.

There was a jug of hot water on the side, which was obviously prepared by the servant.

Reaching out to touch the body of the pot, it was very hot, enough to make a pot of hot tea.

Sitting down on the sofa, he began to make tea.

After a cup of tea, Xiao Huai roughly understood the cause and effect.

Putting down the teacup that was still warm in his hand, he poured another full cup.

"Either?"

"do it yourself."

Ji Tingxie took a sip of tea and responded.

After pouring out the tea, he leaned back on the sofa again and spoke slowly.

"So that little boy fascinated you?"

Ji Tingxie ignored him, lowered his head slightly and took another sip of tea.

"Are you sincere, or are you showing kindness?"

A smile appeared on Xiao Huai's always cold face, and even let out a moderate laugh from his throat.

There was no drop of tea left in Ji Tingxie's cup, so he put the empty cup back on the coffee table without refilling.

He doesn't want to drink anymore.

Sitting down again, his eyes stopped on the person next to him again.

It's still the same kind of flat eyes, but with a bit of coldness.

Suddenly said, "I don't know. That's why I gave it a try."

Hearing this, Xiao Huai's gaze changed slightly, becoming more fixed on his translucent black pupils.

Before Xiao Huai could ask, Ji Tingxie continued, his eyes still straight.

"Maybe I'm not a normal person."

"But I still don't want to die alone."

The voice was as cold as it was at the beginning, but it was a little trembling, and the eyes did not blink, but they were silently wet.

In an instant, the tight string in Xiao Huai's heart finally broke, and his mind exploded instantly.

With a muffled grunt, he hugged the person in front of him in the next second.

Where did he grow up?

He was clearly still the same child when he was a child, and he had never changed.

"Silly Xiaoxie, why are you abnormal? I have never seen anyone better than you."

Xiao Huai hugged the person in his arms tightly, his adult body was still extremely thin and thin, and the tangible touch felt unreal.

He seems to have been born with the protection of the gods, happiness is within his reach, and he is like a fairy descended from the mortal world, coming to help all living beings.

How can there be such a person?

Xiao Huai let out a low sigh, the strength of his arms slightly decreased, but he did not let go of his embrace.

Ji Tingxie remained silent all the time, and still did not say a word at this time.

He just slowly rested his chin on his broad shoulders, and the weight of his head was superimposed bit by bit.

It's like finding a place to rest temporarily.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Noticing his slightly relaxed support, the accumulated restlessness in Xiao Huai's heart slowly dissipated.

I couldn't help but said softly, "I'm your brother, don't you know you yet? I'm afraid that you will be impulsive and trap yourself instead."

As he spoke, he reached out and stroked his back slowly.

Still no response.

Xiao Huai was not disappointed at all, instead he was calm as expected.

He continued, without stopping the comforting movements of his hands.

"It's nothing. Regardless of the result, you have a brother to accompany you."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but chuckled out loud, not loudly, but his chest trembled slightly.

Ji Tingxie leaned on him, feeling the slight shock almost at the same time.

"It's still the life-long one."

Xiao Huai added a sentence, laughing like falling pearls.

They were two people who had nothing to do with each other at first, but they became actual brothers and sisters.

They have no similarities, but they seem to have touched their souls and reached each other's hearts at the same time.

please be happy.

The two of them smiled and remained silent, both thinking so.
