Chapter 31: Excessive Enthusiasm

The author says:

Some time ago, Liang Ze had saved up a lot of leave, and he took most of it off in the past few days due to his illness, and the rest was just enough to accompany his sister around Linjiang.

Compared with the last time, this time the brothers and sisters have a lot more pockets, and they can go to the playground and movie theater to spend like other young people.During this period, Wu Ke didn't participate in the whole process. Liang Xiao asked about it once, and Liang Ze only said that he was too busy with work and didn't have time.

On the last day, Liang Xiao had the high-speed rail ticket in the afternoon, and Liang Ze couldn't see her off when he was going to work. Fortunately, she was a big girl, so there was no problem taking the subway by herself.

At around noon, she was packing her things in the room when the door lock suddenly rang.Putting down his backpack and going out to see, it turned out to be Wu Ke who hadn't shown his face for two days.

He stood in the porch, and there seemed to be something behind him.Seeing Liang Xiao standing in the living room, he nodded slightly.

"Brother Wu Ke, why are you back, don't you have to go to work?"

"It's lunch break."

"Oh." Liang Xiao looked down at his slippers, without saying anything, but a pink and white suitcase slowly appeared in front of him.

Wu Ke pushed the suitcase in front of her, holding a plastic bag full of snacks in his hand, "When I came back, I passed by the mall, and I picked one for you when the suitcase was on sale. See if you like it, if not If you like this color, I will take you to change it."

Liang Xiao was slightly taken aback, and then realized: "No need, no need, there are not many things in total, just use my backpack."

"You girls have a lot of clothes. Next time you come over for winter and summer vacation, it will be more convenient to have a box." Wu Ke went to the sofa and sat down, and put the shopping bag on the coffee table. "I'll take you to the train station in a while."

"It's really not necessary...too polite..."

"If you really don't want me to take it off, you can call a taxi."

Obviously six years ago he regarded her as a little sister, and she also regarded him as a big brother, but six years have passed, and they are so strange to each other.Liang Xiao stood there at a loss, really not knowing how to refuse his kindness.The atmosphere was stiff until Wu Ke asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

She opened her mouth and said nothing.

"I haven't." Wu Ke said.

"That……"

"There are still two bags of instant noodles at home," he got up, "I'll cook them."

If it is said that Wu Ke and Liang Ze were the closest friends in the past, then the only one who can get in between them is probably his younger sister Liang Xiao.She is like a beautiful wild ginger flower, blooming tenaciously and growing up quietly.She never disturbed her brothers' lives, but she shared their happiness, just like she could always get a small bowl when they ate instant noodles.

In the fleeting time, the female college student had changed eighteen times, and Wu Ke could hardly recognize her when he opened the door that day.And she also seems to have left Wu Ke, the big brother, behind, just like the sentence she asked Gao Chenyang in the park that day, "Wu Ke... is that Wu Ke who has a good relationship with my brother?" She already needed questions like this to confirm who the name stood for.

But those most difficult days, those purest help, the most sincere friendship are not so easily forgotten, just a breeze, the book written by memory can be turned along with it.

While cooking noodles, Wu Ke rolled up his sleeves, and Liang Xiao sat obediently behind him.

"Bring me two eggs for supper."

She took it and put it in his hand silently.

"Do you still eat fried food?"

"Yeah." She answered, paused for a moment, and then added two more words, "Thank you."

"There are drinks in the refrigerator, take what you want to drink yourself."

"Okay, what do you want to drink, Brother Wu Ke?"

The title is still the same as before.

Wu Ke smiled: "I don't need it."

After taking the drink, Liang Xiao sat at the dining table and looked at his back, feeling both familiar and strange in his heart.What is familiar is that Wu Ke is still taciturn and considerate of others as before. What is strange is that his figure is getting taller and his clothes are completely different from before.

While waiting for the acquaintance, Wu Ke asked casually: "How many people are there in your class?"

"More than 60." Liang Xiao said.

"More than we did at that time." The chopsticks in his hand stirred steadily, "I heard from your brother that you are the monitor."

"Yeah." Liang Xiao seemed a little shy about this matter. He didn't want others to think that he was very good at being the monitor, so he took the initiative to explain, "I'm the oldest in our class, that's why everyone chose me."

Wu Ke knew about this.Liang Ze once told him that his younger sister Liang Xiao fell ill halfway through middle school, so she was delayed for two years.

"Many people in our class call me sister," she said annoyed and embarrassed. "I will be 21 when I go to college, and I will probably be the oldest in the class."

"It doesn't matter if you study two years late, and 21 years old is still a very suitable age." Wu Ke said, "Besides, there is no way to get sick."

Liang Xiao's back stiffened, and then he smiled bitterly: "Yes, there is no way..."

Then there is nothing more to say.

When the noodles were cooked, Wu Ke brought them in front of her, "Eat."

"Well, you can eat too." Liang Xiao looked down, and found that although his bowl was the same size as his, it obviously had more noodles than his, and his heart was a little touched.Looking up at him, he saw that he was eating very politely, and his expression was as usual, he didn't seem to take her deliberate alienation these days to heart.

"Brother Wu Ke."

"how?"

"You won't ignore my brother in the future."

Surprise appeared on Wu Ke's face, and he frowned.

"Actually, I've been a little angry with you for the past few years."

Maybe it's because a full stomach makes people stupid, Liang Xiao suddenly decided to be honest and honest.She lowered her head under his gaze, "Brother won't let me ask, but I really want to know why you left all of a sudden?"

It turned out that during the days of separation, the little girl has quietly become sensible.

Wu Ke's throat tightened: "Some things are inconvenient to tell you now, but you will know about them later."

"I guessed it." She pursed her lips tightly, "You are just like your brother, you refuse to tell me anything."

"Xiaoxiao..."

"Back when you left without saying goodbye, my brother was so sad that he couldn't even sleep, and he had to deal with those people who came to collect debts." She put down the chopsticks, bent her chin on her arms, and tears quickly filled her eyes, "Why did you leave, didn't you Do you think we brothers and sisters are a burden and will only cause trouble for you?"

When I was young, I didn't know how to express my feelings, so I like to keep it in my heart, and I also keep gratitude in my heart.Wu Ke still remembered that when talking to Liang Xiao back then, she always liked to turn her face away or bury her head, as if she was not close to him at all.In fact, he didn't know that Liang Xiao was very willing to get close to him, but she had no mother since she was a child, and no one taught her how to get along with others correctly and calmly.

Wu Ke doesn't know how to comfort girls.He sat stiffly across from her, tried to reach out to pat her trembling back several times, but gave up several times.

There seemed to be the salty smell of tears in the air.

His voice was dry: "At that time, your brother and I had a quarrel, and it happened that something happened at home, so—"

"Can't we make peace on the phone if we quarrel?" Liang Xiao raised his head and scolded him with tears in his eyes, "Why are you so unfeeling, even refusing to answer my brother's phone call? Do you know that even me Miss you, I thought about calling you after I transferred to another school..."

She is not the only one who is reluctant.

In the past, he always felt that he was let down, but now Wu Ke blamed himself so much that his heart was twisted into a ball.After a long silence, he finally couldn't help but patted her head, "It's my fault, I didn't know Xiaoxiao would miss me."

Thought I was the only one who cared.

"Why didn't you call me in the end?"

"Brother said..." She paused every word, weeping uncontrollably, "Brother said that you changed your number, and you can't get through the original number."

Can't get through?

Wu Ke paused.

In the past six years, he has never changed his mobile phone number, just waiting for a call.But even the last call before the college entrance examination, he took the initiative to call Liang Ze.

Why did Liang Ze say that?The person who changed the number was clearly someone else, and it was clearly Liang Ze himself.Was it rejected just because of the confession?No, Liang Ze is not such a person, let alone prevent his sister from contacting him out of selfishness.

All afternoon, Wu Ke was thinking about what happened back then.

When Liang Ze came home late at night, the living room had already turned off the lights, and he was still smoking on the phone on the balcony, "Are you there? Well, okay, call me anytime if you need anything."

After hanging up the phone, someone tightened her arms around her waist.

"Who is it?" Liang Ze leaned against Wu Ke's back, with a dissatisfied tone, "I called you at such a late hour."

"Your sister."

"..."

It turned out to be Liang Xiao.

"Is she at school?"

"Ah."

"When did your relationship become so good?"

He even asked if she was here.

"Just now." Wu Ke pulled him away, and stretched out his right hand holding the cigarette, "Aren't you afraid of being hot?"

Liang Ze raised his chin, feeling that Wu Ke's exhaustion was particularly masculine, and said in a daze, "Give me the cigarette, I want to take a sip too."

Pulling his arm over, he used his mouth to grab the butt of the cigarette, but Wu Ke avoided it tepidly: "Don't make trouble."

"No trouble... don't let me smoke it, right? If you don't let me smoke it, I'll smoke what's in your mouth..."

The lips were tightly pressed together, the smell of smoke remaining in the mouth was transferred into the mouth with the body fluid, and the nerves trembled and numb slightly.Breathless from the kiss, he leaned into Wu Ke's ear and said softly, "This smoke is so strong."

Wu Ke stubbed out the cigarette, and wiped the saliva from the corners of his lips with his thumb, "Do you know how to write the word shy?"

"do not know."

Liang Ze raised his head and looked at him bewilderedly.Soon, the eyes were covered by a big hand, and passionate kisses invaded the sky and covered the sky.Fortunately, the lights on the balcony were not turned on, otherwise the situation at this moment would have stunned the neighbors.

When the kiss was short of oxygen, Wu Ke hugged him horizontally, turned off the light and lay down on the sofa, wrapped in his chest like a silkworm chrysalis.

"Ake, I can't see you." Liang Ze tried to turn his head, but Wu Ke kissed his neck from behind, making his whole body so tender and numb that he couldn't even turn around.

Ok.

He had to give up.

"There's something wrong with you tonight."

The tip of the hair on the back of the neck was brushed with lips: "What's wrong?"

overzealous.

Liang Ze was thinking like this, but he didn't say anything, he just curled up in the shadow behind him peacefully, enjoying the hard-won comfortable moment.

It is said that falling in love makes people slack off, Wu Ke thought to himself, this is true.Obviously there was still a lot of work to be done tonight, but he was concerned about Liang Ze and returned home early with his work computer.

It was quite late now, and it stands to reason that he should have asked the question earlier so that he could go to work earlier.But just holding Liang Ze like this, he felt extremely healed in his heart, as if there was no need to pursue many things.

Maybe the old saying goes, rich people don't care about money.He has Liang Ze, so he doesn't care about those separations in the past.

Time flowed quietly, the embrace was so warm that Liang Ze almost fell asleep, and finally decided to hear a deep voice: "I have something to ask you."

Lazy answer: "Huh?"

"That year why did you tell Xiaoxiao that I changed my number?"

The body in his arms froze.

"You suddenly left your hometown, is there some reason I don't know?"

The air is slightly stagnant.

Liang Ze paused for a moment, but did not speak.Wu Ke whispered from behind: "You don't want to say that I won't force you, the past is over, and I won't hold on to it anymore."

What happened back then is not only his scar, but also Liang Ze's scar, revealing it rashly may only increase the sadness.But Liang Ze is not an evasive character either.

If you want to be together for a long time, you must not hide from each other and trust each other.

After moving his arms, Liang Ze turned over and hid in his embrace, buried his head deeply, "It's not that I don't want to say it, but I don't know where to start..."
