“You really are…”
Wei You didn't know what to say, so he took out two tissues and gave them to him: "The only thing that hasn't changed since you were a child is that you love to cry."
Wei Xu took the tissue and held it in his hand without using it. He just looked at Wei You with tearful eyes and asked, "Do you want to persuade me?"
"I'm not trying to persuade you," Wei You explained, "I just think there's a high possibility that you misunderstood your feelings."
Wei Xu guessed what he was going to say and couldn't help but lower his head.
"You are still too young to really distinguish the emotional differences between people."
Wei You said slowly, "I feel that you may lack a sense of security because you have too few relatives around you, so you long to keep someone by your side. This desire has become your obsession, making you mistakenly think that you like me. In fact, in a few years, when you go to college, enter society, and make more friends who truly treat you, you will find that I am just an ordinary passer-by in the first half of your life."
Wei You did not come up with this excuse to escape reality, but there were too many such examples around him.
Including himself, the so-called insurmountable obstacles encountered in their youth will seem insignificant when they look back after seeing a bigger and broader sky in the future.
Wei Xu moved his lips, wanting to refute, "Can't I prove that I have such desire for you?"
However, before I could finish my words, Wei You continued, "So, if you want me to accompany you, then I want to stay and try to accompany you as much as possible to see if I can resolve your obsession."
Wei Xu thought for a moment and fell silent.
He thought this was a good idea, as long as his brother agreed to let him stay here, he could pretend to cooperate with his plan.
"What do you think?"
"Okay," Wei Xu pulled the corner of his mouth and said slowly and tremblingly, "I also think that what you said makes sense."
"That's good."
Wei You breathed a sigh of relief. He had been worried that Wei Xu would stubbornly want to prove his feelings. Now that the other party could agree with his point of view, this was the best outcome.
The atmosphere calmed down, and the two seemed to have reached an agreement, but they each had their own thoughts.
But no matter what, there is finally a temporary solution.
After drinking a few mouthfuls of the soup, Wei You looked at the time and realized that it was almost twelve o'clock.
He stood up and said, "It's getting late. I'm going to brush my teeth and go to bed. You too, go to bed early after eating."
Wei Xu nodded silently.
·
After entering the room, Wei You, who was exhausted both physically and mentally by today's events, quickly turned off the lights and lay down on the bed.
The air at night was exceptionally quiet, and even the sound of rain could not be heard clearly. Instead, the sounds of Wei Xu's activities outside flowed clearly into his ears like white noise that helped him sleep.
Wei You thought that the boy would never come to him with a pillow and say he wanted to sleep with him tonight.
Sure enough, after the door of the next room was closed, the surroundings fell into complete silence.
Wei You exhaled, felt his thoughts gradually becoming blurred, and soon he fell asleep.
·
He said that he wanted to spend more time with Wei Xu as much as possible, but in fact, Wei You rarely saw him.
When he got up every day, Wei Xu was already sitting in the classroom for class. They didn't have much time to spend together after school. Wei Xu would basically get home after nine o'clock in the evening. After playing with his phone for a while and washing up, it was time to go to bed.
All in all, the two of them could only sit together and chat for a while when they had midnight snacks.
A week passed in this kind of secluded life, until Friday night, when Wei You had just lay down on the bed with a detective novel in his hand when he heard three knocks on the door.
"Come in."
The door was gently pushed open, and Wei Xu walked in holding a pillow.
The young man stood by the bed. Although his expression was still as pure as when he was a child, his height gave people a sense of oppression. He was unaware and said, "I want to sleep with you."
Wei You thought he was dazzled when he saw this scene, and asked, "Don't you have to get up early to go to school tomorrow?"
"I'll be very gentle and won't wake you."
"But……"
Wei You frowned, thinking, I have discovered all your secrets, shouldn't you avoid suspicion now?
Seeing his hesitation, Wei Xu lowered his eyes: "You despise me."
"I didn't, it's just," Wei You said politely, "don't you think it's inappropriate?"
"You said you would help me resolve my obsession." Wei Xu said seriously, "My obsession is you. Whether you admit it or not, this is the situation now. The more you avoid me, the more I want to get close to you. On the contrary, every time I am around you, my restless mind calms down. So it seems that I should get closer to you, right?"
Wei You also believed his lies, and after hearing what he said, he found it quite reasonable.
"Well... okay." After thinking for a while, he finally compromised, "But you are not allowed to hug me when you sleep at night."
Wei Xu's eyes lit up and he nodded obediently.
"Forget it, your verbal agreement is useless," Wei You said in despair, "Whatever, just hold whatever you want."
"I'll pay attention." Wei Xu said, putting his pillow on the head of the bed, lying down on the bed, and covering his chest with the quilt properly.
Wei You leaned against the pillow and read a book, not caring what he was doing.
Wei Xu suddenly sniffed and said, "Brother, you smell so good."
Wei You glanced at him and said, "Don't say such weird things."
"I mean the shower gel." He pretended to pull up the quilt and smell it, and said, "It's on the quilt too."
Wei You was speechless and did not respond to him.
After a while, he realized that someone was looking at him. He lowered his head and met Wei Xu's gaze, who was looking at him sideways.
He couldn't help but said, "Don't keep looking at me, go to sleep."
"Oh." Being discovered peeking, Wei Xu could only retract his gaze, close his eyes and go to sleep.
Wei You stared at him for a few seconds and found that he really closed his eyes obediently and did not do anything else, so he withdrew his attention with relief.
Half an hour later, Wei You closed the book and put it aside. Just as he was about to turn off the light, the person next to him opened his eyes again and said, "Let me turn it off."
"You haven't slept yet?"
Wei Xu said "hmm", turned over and faced Wei You: "I have an appointment with some classmates to go fishing in Sun Lake tomorrow, can you go with me?"
Wei You lay down in bed and covered himself with the quilt, saying without much interest, "Why should I join in the fun when you and your classmates go out to play?"
"But they all have their own good companions, and I don't."
"Who invited you?"
"My deskmate's father opened a farmhouse there, and he invited us to go there for free to play and eat barbecue." Wei Xu said, "Actually, he invited me just for fun. He wanted to pursue a girl from Class 4, so he asked me and our class monitor to go with him. It just so happened that Du Shao liked our class monitor, so he asked Du Shao to go with him as well. In addition, it seemed that the two girls were planning to invite their best friends to come along."
"So they are all in pairs," Wei You was distracted by his way of introduction, and then he reacted, "Wait, isn't Du Shao a good friend of yours?"
"Yes, but he went there to pursue Liu Weiwei. He must have been so focused on dating that he couldn't care about me." At this point, Wei Xu unconsciously put on a pleading tone, "Brother, please go with me."
"Even so, I'm already so old, it would be too awkward for me to play with a bunch of kids like you," Wei You said, "Besides, they might not be able to have fun if I'm around."
"No, I mentioned it to them. Everyone wants you to go."
Seeing that Wei You didn't say anything, Wei Xu said again: "Go ahead, we'll be staying there tomorrow night, and I don't want to sleep in the same room with others."
Wei You felt a little soft-hearted, thinking that he didn't have much chance to spend time with Wei Xu on weekdays, so it would be nice to take advantage of the weekend to go out with him to relax, so he said, "Okay, if I have nothing to do tomorrow, I'll go with you."
"Really?"
"Really, but if you keep making so much noise and not going to sleep, maybe I'll change my mind."
Wei Xu immediately shut his mouth.
·
The next day was a rare sunny day after a week of drizzling rain.
Wei You regretted it not long after getting in the car.
Seven of the eight people in the group were young and energetic high school students. Wei You could hardly understand what they were talking about, which made him wonder why he wanted to join in the fun.
"I regret it." Wei Xu suddenly leaned close to his ear and said.
Wei You thought to himself, I didn’t even say I regretted it, so what are you regretting?
"They seem to like you very much." Wei Xu said, glancing at the four girls sitting in the front row.
Wei You thought that he was probably jealous because he had exchanged a few words with a few girls when he first got on the bus.
"Just a kid." He yawned and said in a slightly tired tone. After the car started, he felt a little sleepy.
"Am I a child in your eyes too?" Wei Xu asked.
“That’s what it is.”
"But my hands are bigger than yours."
Wei You sneered: "How is that possible?"
As he spoke, he spread out his palm and Wei Xu immediately put his hand up.
The two compared their hands, and Wei You raised his eyebrows, surprised to find that his hand was indeed smaller.
Although Wei Xu's palms looked delicate and graceful, the joints were very slender, and each of his fingers was longer than his own.
"Brother, your hands are so small."
Wei You didn't know where he got the energy to refuse to admit defeat, so he withdrew his hand and said, "Mine is normal size, yours is too big."
Wei Xu suddenly laughed and said "Oh".
Wei You only realized that what he said just now was a bit ambiguous after hearing his laughter, and taught him a lesson: "What are you laughing at? Think healthier."
"I'm not thinking about anything." Wei Xu put away his smile and said with a puzzled look.
That cold and innocent expression made Wei You wonder if he had really wronged him, but then he caught a glimpse of the uncontrollable smile on the other person's lips after he turned his head, and immediately realized that this kid was pretending to be innocent.
Oh my god, I almost got fooled. This little bastard is really good at pretending.
Wei You secretly made up his mind that he would never be fooled by him again next time.
More than an hour later, the group arrived at the cruise ship pier on the shore of Sun Lake. Zhang Zelong's father's farm hotel was located on an island on the other side of the lake, so they had to take a boat to get there.
When on a cruise ship, there is only a narrow bridge connecting the dock to the deck.
The girls didn't dare to go alone, and the boys with special purposes thought it was their time to play a role.
Du Shao confidently but somewhat embarrassedly suggested to Liu Weiwei: "How about I pull you over?"
"No, I'm afraid you'll push me down if I follow you." After saying that, the girl took her best friend's hand and they supported each other across the single-plank bridge.
Du Shao touched his nose and looked at Zhang Zelong, who was also rejected. They both felt a little embarrassed.
Wei You stood at the back and waited until everyone else had gotten on board before he slowly prepared to get on the boat.
Just as he was about to step onto the bridge, his wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone behind him.
Wei You turned around and saw Wei Xu frowning and looking at the bridge board with a worried and innocent expression.
This expression was too familiar. Wei You could tell that he was acting again, but he still asked, "What's wrong?"
Wei Xu's Adam's apple slid a little, and he said in a tangled way: "I'm a little scared, brother, please lead me over."
The author has something to say: Wei You: What are you pretending for!
It’s too late now, I’ll post the diary together tomorrow!
