you are within five miles of me

Chapter 16 Sorry, I Shouldn't Abandon You

Jiang Yanzhe woke up suddenly from his sleep, sat up and breathed rapidly, his back was covered in cold sweat.He touched his violently beating heart and said to himself: "Did I leave you behind again?"

The scene in the dream was so real and detailed, Jiang Yanzhe couldn't tell if many details were a dream or simply his own memory.Later, at the age of six, he climbed into bed at home, covered his head with a quilt, and cried for a long time. He tightly grasped the quilt to give him courage.He was really terrified, afraid that his parents and Zhou Yang's grandparents would blame him. It's not that he had never been beaten before, but he was afraid because he had been beaten before and knew how bad it was. Besides, he was even more afraid that something would happen to Zhou Yang. .But when Jiang Yanzhe's parents came back to find him, they didn't blame him. Instead, they were very strange. Mother Jiang: "Why is this child still sleeping at this time?"

Jiang Yanzhe was shivering in bed, his tears had long since dried up, only two big eyes were left swollen.His parents were very surprised by his reaction, Jiang's father hugged Jiang Yanzhe up, "There is something wrong with this child, Ah Zhe, what's wrong?"

Mother Jiang took Jiang Yanzhe's hand, touched his forehead to test the temperature, "I don't have a fever, maybe I slept too long."

Father Jiang helped Jiang Yanzhe get dressed, "Azhe, we are going to the hospital to see Yangyang now, his foot was accidentally scratched, didn't you stay with him today?"

Jiang Yanzhe leaned shyly in his father's arms, buried his face in and shook his head gently.He didn't have the guts to admit that Zhou Yang also hid it from everyone for himself, except for the two of them, no one knew about it.

When Jiang Yanzhe arrived at the hospital, Zhou's father, Zhou's mother, and Zhou Yang's grandparents were all around Zhou Yang. They all turned their heads to look at him. Jiang Yanzhe suddenly became afraid. Did everyone know?He hid behind his mother in a panic, only showing a pair of frightened eyes staring at the little Zhou Yang on the hospital bed.Zhou Yang was lying on the hospital bed, his complexion was already pale, but he seemed to have become paler due to blood loss, but he smiled at Jiang Yanzhe, "Brother Jiang, are you here to see Yangyang?"

Zhou Yang's voice was a little weak, but he couldn't hide his smile, "Mom and Dad, this is the handsome guy I mentioned to you, don't you think his eyes are much cuter than Yang Yang's?"

Zhou's mother and Zhou's father understood, and warmly greeted Jiang's family to come and sit down, let the two children get in touch with each other, and they also chatted to get acquainted with each other.

Zhou Yang took Jiang Yanzhe's hand, and whispered in his ear: "Brother Jiang, I didn't tell anyone, so don't tell me, this is our little secret." He raised his little finger, waiting for Jiang Yanzhe to pull hook.Jiang Yanzhe also stretched out his hand, pulled the hook and stamped it, and looked at his brother's pale face seriously. Although he was the one who caused his brother to be injured and bleed, his brother still chose to protect this timid and cowardly self. Jiang Yanzhe had made up his mind since then I am determined to always protect this younger brother, and will never leave him and run away like this time!

Jiang Yanzhe, who was sitting on the bed in a daze and remembering, made up his mind just like his six-year-old self at that time. He looked at the hands of the bedside alarm clock, jumped out of bed with a throw of the quilt, washed and dressed quickly, he must see Zhou Yang immediately!

Zhou Yang didn't sleep well last night and got up early to pack up and go to school.The days in winter are very short, and it is still pitch black outside at six o'clock in the morning. Zhou Yang went downstairs and continued to step on the unmelted snow from yesterday, whispering, "Am I considered single?"

Zhou Yang didn't pay attention to behind him, a group of black shadows leaning against the wall suddenly said: "What kind of single, have I agreed?"

"Fuck, what the hell?" Zhou Yang trembled in fright, turned around and before he could see what it was, the black shadow rushed over and hugged him tightly.

"Jiang Yanzhe, why are you crazy?" Zhou Yang wanted to push him away, but Jiang Yanzhe's arms were tightly bound, Zhou Yang had no choice but to give up.

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have left you." Jiang Yanzhe's deep voice trembled slightly, "I shouldn't have braced your bicycle yesterday, I shouldn't have quarreled with you, I shouldn't have left you alone on the road. As your boyfriend, I am very negligent, and now I sincerely apologize to you." Jiang Yanzhe took a deep breath, "So, don't break up, okay?"

Zhou Yang felt the realism of Jiang Yanzhe's hair poking into his neck, sniffed the fragrance of his hair lightly, and hugged Jiang Yanzhe back with his hands on his waist. His physical actions clearly forgave him, but this little devil did not refuse Rao: "Yes, it's all your fault. Don't expect me not to say those two words in the future, I will say it again, but you can't take it seriously, you know?"

Jiang Yanzhe let go of Zhou Yang, looked carefully at Zhou Yang's face, and replied seriously: "Yes, but you can't easily hurt yourself and say something like let me go to the hospital to see you, okay?"

Zhou Yang nodded, Jiang Yanzhe looked at the well-behaved Zhou Yang and couldn't help but want to touch the child's head, and of course he did.

Jiang Yanzhe took Zhou Yang's hand naturally, "Let's go, go to the carport to pick up your car."

Zhou Yang stopped him, "No, I won't ride to school in winter anymore."

Jiang Yanzhe saw Zhou Yang's rare and well-behaved appearance, and it was very helpful. The obedient appearance of this little devil is so cute! "Okay, then I will pick you up from school every day from now on."

Zhou Yang kicked him with a smile, "Go away, how old am I, do I still need you to pick me up?"

Jiang Yanzhe also felt that he was too cautious. Zhou Yang was a boy after all, and he always seemed so stern.

"Hey, Jiang Yanzhe, why did you react so strongly when you heard me say 'hospital'?" This was a question that Zhou Yang hadn't figured out last night.

Jiang Yanzhe's face turned pale, and he lowered his voice and said slowly: "Because, because I still can't forget the pale face of you when you were five years old lying on the hospital bed, I don't want to see such a weak you again. I'm scared, really scared."

"Huh? When was it, did you remember it wrong?" Zhou Yang was so heartless, he had obviously forgotten that such a thing happened when he was a child.

Jiang Yanzhe didn't even expect that, he thought Zhou Yang would remember him hurting him all his life, but now Zhou Yang has forgotten it, it seems that when he was five years old, he was cut by the brother he thought was closest to him. It's not worth worrying about for him.

"Didi!" The sharp car horn did not bring Jiang Yanzhe back to his senses, until Zhou Yang pulled him to a sudden stop, "Damn! Jiang Yanzhe, don't you know how to hide when the car is coming?"

Jiang Yanzhe answered irrelevantly, "Have you forgotten? When I was five years old, I cut your foot."

"Ah?" Zhou Yang recalled slowly, and vaguely remembered that when he was five years old, there seemed to be white gauze wrapped around his feet, "Oh, I remembered, it seems to have such a thing."

"It was very painful at the time, right? There was a lot of blood, right?" Jiang Yanzhe was cautious. After many years, when he mentioned this matter again, he still felt guilty.

"Uh, it's okay, I can't remember the details." Zhou Yang smiled, "It's been a long time, so don't worry about it."

Until today, more than ten years later, Zhou Yang still wants to comfort himself in turn. Jiang Yanzhe held Zhou Yang's hand tightly and crossed the road safely, so he could hold the person who comforted him and cross the road together for the rest of his life.

Jiang Yanzhe's sudden mention of childhood events was an opportunity, which opened the valve of Zhou Yang's memory, "crash" some memories slid down neatly like rainwater washing down the wall and poured on Zhou Yang's whole body.When they were about to reach the school gate, Zhou Yang pulled out his hand. Jiang Yanzhe knew that Zhou Yang wanted to keep a low profile, so he didn't insist on holding hands anymore, but he moved closer to Zhou Yang.

The hand that Zhou Yang pulled out was cold again after losing the warmth of that person's palm. Jiang Yanzhe had been warming himself since he was a child, and since the two of them confirmed their relationship, the warmth was even more logical. Zhou Yang once wondered if he was a poor person, because Jiang Yanzhe's Warmth is even more meticulous than the leader who delivers food, oil, rice and noodles to the masses. The most important thing is that the person who delivers warmth is so handsome!

The two shoulders rubbed shoulders, Zhou Yang asked Jiang Yanzhe: "You suddenly mentioned your childhood, and I also remembered something."

Jiang Yanzhe tilted his head and asked him suspiciously: "What's the matter?"

"You saved me when I was seven years old." Zhou Yang said calmly, expecting Jiang Yanzhe's answer.

Jiang Yanzhe did remember, "Well, yes, fortunately you were malnourished and stunted at that time, so I could barely carry you out. You were obviously only one year younger than me at that time, but your height was about the same as when you were five years old." Jiang Yanzhe compared his height with Zhou Yang's, "Look, it's still a bit short now."

Zhou Yang staggered his hand, very unconvinced, "Cut, get out!" I really don't want to pay attention to this man, Zhou Yang stepped into the school gate before him, Jiang Yanzhe chased after him laughingly and put Zhou Yang's shoulders, "It's not that much shorter than me Well, how convenient it is for me to hold you now."

"I'll say it again, get out!" Zhou Yang crossed his arms, cursing in his heart: Jiang Yanzhe used his height to pretend to be so fucking irritating!

Zhou Yang and Jiang Yanzhe were very sleepy today. They slept from the morning self-study until the second period. They had an exercise between classes. When they came back, they looked at each other in a daze and continued to fall asleep.

An Ye and Yu Bo whispered together, wondering what the two of them did last night:

An Ye: "Tell me, were they together last night?"

Yu Bo: "I guess so, what do you think they did last night?"

An Ye got goosebumps all over his body, "Huh~ Jianggou must have forced our little angel Zhou Yang, tsk tsk tsk, beast!"

Yu Bo touched his chin approvingly, "I also feel that poor Mr. Zhou is still underage... Alas, the world is so cold."

The whispering of the two people in front couldn't control the volume until later, Jiang Yanzhe squinted his peach blossom eyes and raised his head to shout at them: "Shut up!"

"You fucking shut up!" Zhou Yang was completely awakened by Jiang Yanzhe's voice, he fumbled with a book and threw it at him.

Jiang Yanzhe kept silent, raised his index finger to his mouth as a cute gesture.

"Tsk tsk tsk, little fish, I suspect we are standing on the wrong CP." An Ye patted Yu Bo's shoulder.

Yu Bo shook his head, pretending to understand, and quietly said to An Ye: "We are right, I think some people are 'strict wives'!"

An Ye made it clear, and continued to discuss with Yu Bo: "Then Zhou Yang is 'Woliheng'."

Yu Bo couldn't control his laughter again, "Hahahaha, nothing wrong!"

Jiang Yanzhe didn't yell at Yu Bo this time, but just threw the book Zhou Yang threw at him.

Zhou Yang and Jiang Yanzhe slept until they lost their shape, slept until their souls came out of their bodies, and slept until it was dark. In addition, they were next to the classroom heater, feeling warm and drawing the sunshade curtains. The two studious and hardworking students kept lying on their stomachs Do not move.Until the third math class, Uncle Wang stared at them.Yu Bo saw that Uncle Wang was looking at them all the time, and he didn't dare to turn his head or make any big moves, so he pushed his back against the table of the two behind him in a hurry.There is no doubt that the latter two did not respond as expected.

Uncle Wang sneered, and knocked heavily on the blackboard. He didn't care about the two students who were asleep. After all, the students who are awake and listening to the class are more important.Uncle Wang calculated the basic steps of the topic and asked everyone to calculate the results by themselves. Finally, he asked the students: "What is the result of everyone's calculations?"

"Choose C!" Jiang Yanzhe was talking in his sleep when the whole class was silently calculating the answer.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!Now the students' answers don't count, they all looked back at Jiang Yanzhe and laughed, but unfortunately Jiang Yanzhe himself didn't respond, his head was still lying on his stomach.

But Zhou Yang suddenly felt that the atmosphere in which he fell asleep was not right, so he woke up suddenly and sat up, meeting Uncle Wang's eyes again.

Uncle Wang thought that Zhou Yang, who was sitting up now, was the one who said the "C", but he still satirized with a smile on his face: "It's a terrible thing to talk nonsense in your sleep." Uncle Wang put down the textbook in his hand, "The one behind Please stand up and tell me why you chose C?"

Zhou Yang stood up with a dazed look on his face. Here, choose C, what C to choose, is it too late for him to choose death now?

As soon as Zhou Yang stood up, Jiang Yanzhe woke up, he vaguely remembered that he seemed to have talked in sleep, he pushed Zhou Yang to sit down, and said boldly: "Teacher, I was talking in sleep just now.

When Uncle Wang saw that it was Jiang Yanzhe making trouble again, he completely lost his patience, "Jiang Yanzhe, it's you again! To put it mildly, you're a bit stupid, but to put it mildly, is it because your brains are muddled?"

Depend on!Uncle Wang could be more venomous, Jiang Yanzhe thought.

"Since your two-two brains are muddled, let you sit at the same table and figure out the final answer to this question!" Uncle Wang broke off half a piece of chalk and held it in his hand, waiting for Zhou Yang to come up to take it away.

Fuck!Uncle Wang, what kind of strange brain circuit is this!Zhou Yang was forced to stand up again to face the question on the blackboard that he didn't understand at all. When he walked around Jiang Yanzhe, he said, "I can't fucking figure it out!"

Zhou Yang took the half piece of chalk from Uncle Wang's hand and started acting decently, pretending that he could see the answer by carefully examining the questions, but the fact is that even if he stared at the blackboard with a hole in his hand, the chalk in his hand couldn't write anything. Come on.

Naturally, Jiang Yanzhe was not idle. After quickly writing down the basic steps and answers on his own note, he took advantage of Uncle Wang wandering in the corridor and signaled Yu Bo to keep going forward, so the note that saved Zhou Yang's life was in the After the unremitting efforts, sneakiness and fear of more than a dozen students, it was finally passed on to Zhou Yang in the shortest possible time.

So Zhou Yang stood on the podium and staged a scene for a long time until the critical moment when he couldn't hold on, this note saved him.Zhou Yang finally breathed a sigh of relief after copying the answers on the blackboard. When Uncle Wang came to check, Zhou Yang pretended to be calm, with a proud look of "That's right, I can solve the problem even if I sleep in class".It was rare for Uncle Wang to show a sincere smile to his classmates, but this time he smiled admiringly to Zhou Yang. It was a real smile, not a fake smile. I expressed my appreciation for the steps of the question, but I was simply fancied by my own arrogance.

Just when the bell rang for the end of get out of class, Zhou Yang, who was not troubled by Uncle Wang, felt a little flustered when he stepped off the podium, walked up to Jiang Yanzhe with arrogance, and said provocatively: "Look at your boyfriend's charisma, Uncle Wang is convinced by it. "

Jiang Yanzhe cooperated with him in acting, "Yes, my boyfriend is so handsome, I really like it!"

Zhou Yang took out the slip of paper hidden in his pocket, and while disgusted with "the words are so ugly, the steps are not neatly written!", he spread it flat and sandwiched it in the book like a baby.

Jiang Yanzhe found it funny, "Why keep it?"

Zhou Yang put his chin on one hand and thought about it seriously, "Keep it for a good memory later."

"Oh, I love what my brother said!" Jiang Yanzhe squeezed Zhou Yang's waist ambiguously, "It's really rare."

Zhou Yang slapped off the messy hand, "It's too short!"

The author has something to say:

They are reconciled!
