After starting to entangle

Chapter 14 Can I... Kiss You...

"Brother, what do you want to eat, can I buy it back, let's sit in the store and eat it?"

At around two o'clock in the afternoon, seeing that there were fewer customers in the store, Tang Shi finally trotted open the door and walked to Song Ci to ask.

The gentle sunlight in the afternoon fell into Song Ci's deep eye sockets, seeing him bow his head and ask, "Why?"

Tang Shi scratched her head guiltily, and replied, "Today, Xiao Le and I are the only two people going to work. After a while, his boyfriend will come to pick her up for dinner. The shop cannot do without people..."

"I'm here to pick you up for dinner too?" Song Ci blurted out.

After Song Ci's voice fell, the two looked at each other, only to feel that the atmosphere was a little delicate.

I saw Song Ci turned his head in embarrassment, pretending to be calm and said, "Forget it, what do you want to eat, I'll buy it!"

"It's okay, I'll go! I'll run fast!" Tang Shi bit her lip and smiled brightly.

But Song Ci turned around and said to Tang Shi with a sullen look, "Don't always say you're here in the future, just bully yourself like that! I'm going to buy food! What do you want to eat?"

Hearing Tang Shi's signature smile, he responded softly, "A piece of fried rice with green peppers! Brother, I want a big one! Well, if you have time, can you go to the one around the corner? Soup!"

After listening to Tang Shi's explanation, Song Ci couldn't help but put aside the corners of his mouth and smiled, nodding and laughing at him, "The child is not big, and his appetite is not small!"

"Go get busy, I'll be right back!"

After speaking, Song Ci took out his hand that was in his pocket and strode towards the corner.

The sky in September is high and far away, but clear and bright.Looking at Song Ci's back, Tang Shi felt as if she was really in an unreal romantic world...

"Can I ask you a question?"

Song Ci quickly bought lunch, and the two chatted while putting the lunch box on the table.

Tang Shi tore open the chopsticks, handed them to Song Ci, and replied with a smile, "Of course!"

"Why did you come here? Why did you choose this application? Others avoid it, you...you...why can't you think about it?"

Originally, it was a great opportunity to get government-funded students to study abroad.However, it is not a good opportunity to accept Mi City's ten-year plan.Because accepting this gift may mean a greater sacrifice.

I saw a slight smile on Tang Shi's quiet face, and seemed to respond in relief, "Brother, what are you talking about! Naturally, I chose to come here because I was thinking about the future. This is the place that many people dream of. "Senior brother, it's not that you don't understand me, if there is no such unexpected benefit, I am afraid that I will not be able to have such a dream in my next life."

"Now that I have come to Mi City, I can study my favorite translation major in university, and I can become a real translator in the future. Isn't that good?"

"You know what I mean." Song Ci replied directly with a serious expression.

"10 years. After graduating from here, I will work for ten years at Veolia. There is a 10-year contract. There are frequent wars, poverty, diseases, and accidental deaths. What kind of future and dreams are you talking about with me?"

After listening to Song Ci's words, Tang Shi didn't answer for a long time, but obediently stuffed food into his mouth.

Sometimes a lot of things are talked about ironically.

For example, Micheng and Weilia speak the same language, believe in the same religion, and there is an invisible boundary line on the geographical map.However, one of them is like heaven, and the other is like hell.

"It's the future and dream. Brother, I want to come, but if I rely on my own strength, maybe, maybe I will never have the chance. If we say, if we say 10 years of suffering, I can exchange for my most dreamed translation study, even To be able to go to places that I dare not even dream of, I think these 10 years are worth it."

"You really are!" Song Ci was obviously angry at his answer.

It's not that he doesn't recognize his pursuit of dreams.It's just... a little distressed...

I feel sorry for him, I feel sorry for him, he is such an excellent child who works so hard, yet he has to make such a sacrifice...

Song Ci had no choice, and now, even if he felt distressed, it was useless.

But he knew very well that there was one thing he could help with.

I saw Song Ci picked up a chicken leg and sent it to Tang Shi's lunch box, and then said to him, "I will help you! I will help you become a real, excellent translator!"

"Thank you, thank you senior brother..." Tang Shi's nose felt sour for some reason, and she lowered her head to bite the chicken leg.

In fact, he still had a word in his mind.He wants to see him.I've been wanting to see him for a long time...

at night.

"Today, can you not sleep with your back to me?"

"what?"

Tang Shi had just finished taking a shower, and thinking of what Song Ci had said to him and that kiss, he was still shy and didn't know whether he should go back to the room, or planned to sneak back while Song Ci was asleep.But who knew, Song Ci was standing at the bathroom door waiting for him...

"Brother, I still want to read some more books! I want to finish the homework you left me and that book. Go to bed first!" Tang Shi turned her head embarrassed after finishing speaking.

"Wake up early tomorrow and watch it again! You haven't slept well in the past two days, and you still have to go to work. You are not allowed to stay up late!"

After Song Ci finished speaking, his cold hand fell on the back of Tang Shi's neck.

Tang Shi shrank coolly, as if a trace of electricity had struck her body.

"Go back to sleep obediently!" After Song Ci finished speaking, he seemed to be carrying a kitten and grabbed the two of them into the bedroom.

"Go to bed early, don't...don't turn your back on me..."

After the two of them lay down, Song Ci unexpectedly turned around to face Tang Shi, and hooked Tang Shi's hand to make him turn around too.

Tang Shi was a little at a loss.

He didn't dare to look into Song Ci's eyes on a bed.

He felt his face going red... and his heart jumping out...

Song Ci looked at Tang Shi's back, waiting for his answer.

But...that was what the elder brother said to him, and Tang Shi couldn't bear to listen...

"okay."

Finally, Tang Shi hugged the quilt and answered softly, then turned around obediently.

The clear and shallow eyes met the expected eyes, and the moonlight seemed to be a little gentle at that moment.

Seeing that Tang Shi did not resist his request, Song Ci felt at ease.

He was afraid that Tang Shi would be frightened by his intentions, that he would not understand, and that he would reject him after thinking clearly.

"good night!"

Song Ci did not give redundant explanations.I just feel sorry for Tang Shi's hard work in the past two days, and I want him to sleep well.

As for their intentions, Song Ci thinks that everything will take time, and maybe he won't be afraid if he gets close to Tang Shi slowly...

"Well, good night, Senior Brother!"

Tang Shi closed his eyes immediately after answering.

Song Ci smiled gratifiedly and then fell asleep peacefully with his pillow on the quilt.

But Tang Shi couldn't fall asleep anyway.He closed his eyes but didn't dare to look into Song Ci's eyes.He couldn't figure it out at all, is senior brother confessing his love to him now?Is this what senior brother wants for him?Need a response from him?What kind of response?Is it love?

God!what is going on!

Tang Shi secretly sighed in his heart.

He has to admit that his IQ has dropped to zero on this matter...

Thinking hard like this, Tang Shi fell into a half-dream and half-awake state at about three o'clock in the morning.

"Dad, don't hit me! I was wrong, I was wrong!"

"Tang poetry? Tang poetry?"

"What's wrong? Have a nightmare again?"

Tang Shi opened her eyes suddenly, sweat was breaking out on her forehead, and the panic in her dream gathered between her brows for a long time, "I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I woke you up again. I'm sorry!"

Tang Shi took a deep breath, then turned around.

"Fool. I'm fine." Song Ci comforted him.

Then he reached out and patted his back, and said softly, "Sleep!"

"Ah."

After Song Ci and Tang Shi lay down, not long after, Song Ci seemed to hear a little sobbing.

Song Ci wanted to pretend he didn't hear it, because he was afraid that Tang Shi would be embarrassed to face him.

But... As time passed by, Tang Shi's cry stayed in his ears, and ravaged into his heart.

"You, are you crying?" Song Ci sat up and leaned against him.

"Ah? I didn't!" Tang Shi quickly buried her head in the quilt and wiped away her tears in a panic.

"you you,"

"You, would you like to tell me something about your family?"

"Is your father very strict?"

"Every time you dream, you cry and ask him not to hit you..."

After Song Ci finished speaking, his big hand fell on Tang Shi's soft hair with distress.

Tang Shi listened but did not respond for a long time.The tense panting sound was clearly audible in the dawn light.

"It's okay. It's okay if you don't want to say it."

"No. You can talk to senior brother."

After Tang Shi finished speaking, he finally raised his head and looked at Song Ci.

"I'm sorry, I wake up senior brother every time I dream." Tang Shi first apologized.

But Song Ci was very sad by his estrangement, and responded, "What nonsense! You know I care about you,"

Tang Shi turned her head and the corners of her mouth slightly raised, with a smile hidden in her eyes, she replied, "I know."

"I just want to say that in my dream, I will always go home." Tang Shi said.

Song Ci froze for a moment, then calmed down and looked at him seriously.

Tang Shi finally let go of the quilt she was holding tightly, and continued, "Brother, everyone loves home the most, right? But I, when I was young, the thing I dreaded the most was going home."

"Because at home, my dad always beats me."

"My dad is not my real dad. My real dad ran away with another woman when I was four years old."

"Although...although I was very young at that time. But I still have the image of my mother hugging my father's thigh and crying and telling him not to leave."

Hearing Tang Poetry say this, Song Ci's heart moved a little bit with the rhythm.

"When I'm sensible, I seem to have the impression that there were two men who also called them father. My mother and I stayed in their house for a while. But, they all left later."

"They, they say, my mother is a broken shoe. Me, me"

When Tang Shi said this, the teardrops that had been spinning in his eye sockets fell down cracklingly, and he tried to speak again, but in an instant, he was sobbing...

He stubbornly covered his face with his left and right hands, trying indiscriminately to wipe away the disobedient tears.

However, for some reason, the tears flowed endlessly, dribbling out unsatisfactorily.

In the end, he had no choice but to grab the quilt and wrap his head tightly, sobbing.

"It's hard work! It's hard work! It's not your fault. It's hard work!"

Song Ci leaned over and hugged him in his arms while talking.He hated himself why, as a linguist, he couldn't think of words to comfort him at this moment.

The choking cry echoed in the room, the cry gradually became softer, and the voice became hoarse... Maybe the tears were really tired from crying, and they stopped flowing after crying...

"Brother, I didn't go to school until I was nine years old. When people asked me, I didn't even know 1, 2, 3..." Tang Shi said hoarsely, leaning on Song Ci's arms.

"Why? You are not allowed to go to school?"

Song Ci has already refreshed his understanding of the world by the experience of Tang poetry.

He has lived in the loving care of his parents since he was a child, and never imagined that there are actually such ruthless parents who treat their children in this world.

"Well. My stepfather won't let me go to school. My mother can't talk. My mother told me that she couldn't help me. She always cried and hoped that I would grow up quickly. She said she was relying on me... "

"But, senior brother, I was still very young at that time, who can I rely on?"

When Tang Shi said this, he burrowed into Song Ci's arms for a little bit, as if he was escaping, escaping from the anxiety in his heart and the fear of memories.

"You know? I envy my stepfather's older brothers and sisters. We live under the same roof, but I can only watch them have delicious food, new clothes, and love from grandparents. It's okay... And study!"

Song Ci hugged him, and his strong arms gained more strength.But he didn't interrupt him, just quietly listening to him talking about the sadness in his heart.

"I always hear people in the village say, "What age is it now, how can there be any children who don't study! "I'm afraid this child is useless, and if he doesn't harm the society in the future, he will be regarded as a high incense!" "I hear things like this all the time..."

"So I, I'm so scared, I'm afraid that one day I will really become the big villain in others' mouths!" Tang Shi choked up again as she spoke.

His tears fell on Song Ci's chest through his thin clothes.

It's cold, it's hot...

"Fool, you are the kindest, cutest, second most intelligent person in the world besides me I have ever seen!"

"Brother..."

Song Ci changed his mature appearance and even made fun of himself. Sure enough, Tang Shi was slightly distracted by his words, and called his name softly.

I saw Tang Shi raised his head slightly, and Song Ci felt it, and lowered his head slightly. The two of them looked at each other in the morning light, at the junction of darkness and light, and at dawn.

"Brother, if it wasn't for Master, my whole life might be useless!"

"Fortunately, Master came to the village to support teaching, and I was lucky enough to go to school because of Master's support." Tang Shi said with a glimmer of light in his eyes.

Song Ci plucked the hair that was wet from his crying, and responded emotionally, "My dad, I also admire him very much!"

"Master, he taught me a lot of knowledge. Moreover, he told me that he hoped that I would never give up my life no matter how difficult it was. He hoped that as long as I was healthy, I would never give up learning knowledge. He told me, Knowledge can change people's fate! But fate is not after death, no one knows its true appearance..."

"If I could get along well with you then, I think, I hope you will remember this too." Song Ci hugged him tighter after speaking.

The sky gradually brightened, and the morning glow dyed the clouds in the east from the sky in an instant...

"Can I... can I, kiss you again?"

Song Ci looked at him, looking into his eyes reverently.

Tang Shi was taken aback for a moment, but wrapped his hands around his neck in an instant, and gave him the answer in an instant with his tear-stained lips.

He didn't speak.But he wanted to say to him,

"Brother, if it wasn't for you, I wouldn't want to see the light of this world..."
