Chapter 33

......

After Yi Chunuan comforted his parents, he took out the spare key at home and slowly opened Yi Chuyang's door...

'Du, I'm sorry, the number you dialed is on the phone...' came from the room, cold and polite words, she seemed to be stating the self-evident facts to the caller the truth.

The curtains in his room were drawn, and the lights were not turned on.

This makes the room still dark even when it's still daytime...

That was the first time Yi Chunuan saw his younger brother in several months.

He curled up in a corner near the curtain, tilted his head, and leaned against the wall weakly.

The clothes he was wearing were also dirty, as if he had been crawling and rolling in the mud for several times, and his face was covered in large and small bruises.

Looking at his current appearance, Yi Chunuan couldn't help but suddenly remembered the first time he saw this younger brother in the hospital.

At that time, he was so young, so soft, yet so fragile...

Still so...

Yi Chunuan closed the door gently, walked over slowly, squatted down beside him, and looked at him quietly.

Yi Chuyang didn't respond, and saw his eyes staring tiredly at the screen of the mobile phone, which was also the only bright object in the entire room.

He kept doing the same thing over and over again, calling the same number over and over again...

After every very short 'beep' on the phone, the same sentence appears, 'Sorry, the number you dialed is currently on the phone...'

'Beep, I'm sorry, the number you dialed is in progress...'

'Beep, I'm sorry, the number you dialed is in progress...'

'Beep, I'm sorry, the number you dialed is-'

Yi Chuyang trembled, and finally chose to continue dialing...

'Beep, I'm sorry, the number you dialed is on the phone...'

'Beep, I'm sorry—'

'sorry'

'sorry……'

'sorry……'

......

Time goes by little by little...

Yi Chunuan nodded slightly, and like him, this person was leaning against the wall.

She is thinking:

Her younger brother, the arrogant and tough-mouthed younger brother who never showed his vulnerability to others.

What kind of person.... what kind of damage... can destroy him to the point of throwing away his armor and discarding his armor?

Who is it? !

How could he... how could... how could he hurt him so recklessly?

Damn it!

Yi Chunuan looked at him with distressed eyes, but couldn't ask who was that person?

She doesn't know either,

In the past half month, amid countless ridicules and betrayals, he was alone, and he was alone. Exactly... How did he come here?

Just thinking about it like this made Yi Chunuan's eyes moist.

She couldn't help calling him, "Yangyang..."

'Beep, yes-'

Yi Chuyang's fingertips trembled, and he accidentally hung up the phone.

Yi Chunuan's voice kept revolving in his ears, as if outside the boundless world, far away...empty.... ethereal...

out of reach...

Yi Chuyang raised his head dazedly, rolled his eyes, and kept flowing on Yi Chunuan's face.

His eyes were empty, helpless, and even looking at her a little confused.

He looks like this,

It was as if the appearance of Yi Chunuan interrupted the response that he should have had. He looked at her and moved his lips, but for a while, he didn't know what emotion he should show to give her the correct answer.

Yi Chunuan didn't know, did not know whether Yi Chuyang hadn't slept for a few days, the heavy dark circles drooped down, and there was almost no blood on his lips.

The whole person looks like a serious illness. It seems that as long as he is pushed gently, he will fall down. . . .

"elder sister...."

Yi Chuyang's voice was hoarse and weak, like a dry up in the desert, unable to find the oasis in his heart, and finally lost in the boundless desert.

Just listening to this, Yi Chunuan couldn't hold back for a while, and let a tear sneak out of his eyes.

"Um...."

Upon receiving the response, Yi Chuyang immediately retracted his gaze and lowered his head slightly stiffly. Curling himself up again, he shook his hands, tapped the screen, and dialed the number again.

'Beep, I'm sorry, the number you dialed is in progress...'

Yi Chunuan looked at him quietly, that gesture, it seemed that he planned to keep watching it from the beginning, silently...quietly...

Just stay with him.

“…”

Yi Chuyang lowered his head and moved his fingers.

I don't know why, but suddenly, he didn't know what to do, his finger stopped on the dial key, and he couldn't dial it for a long time...

I don't know if it's because of Yi Chunuan's appearance, he obviously.... he has already endured it for more than half a month, and he is also... he will endure it. He obviously.... is almost, he will hold back... He will hold back...

But the softness in Yi Chunuan's eyes, in the end, he still couldn't resist...

Yi Chuyang scratched at the phone indiscriminately, tears were falling down, and his hoarse throat gradually became sticky, "He, why is he so busy? It's been half a month... I've already …”

"I've already called him 23,116 times...why does he just call me back?"

“…”

I don't know if he knows it, but Yi Chunuan is very sober.

I can't get through this phone anymore...

"Let's stop fighting, okay?" Yi Chunuan's tone seemed to be discussing with him.

But I don't know what he suddenly thought of, Yi Chuyang was inexplicably excited, he grabbed Yi Chunuan's hand and asked over and over again, "Sister! You say, do you think I haven't paid the call? Yes? Otherwise, otherwise, how could it be impossible to get out all the time?"

“…”

Looking at the light that finally appeared in the darkness, Yi Chunuan moved her lips, and the hesitation in her heart made her unable to calm down for a while.

But don't know if should... destroy hope for him with own hands,

After all, whatever you say is just a fantasy.

"Sister, why don't you give me some phone bills? Maybe, maybe he'll answer?!" Maybe it was because of too much mental pressure, Yi Chuyang insisted on this point, and now the whole person looks like, It seems a little abnormal, "Or...or maybe he didn't pay the call?!"

Yi Chunuan looked at him seriously, and finally chose to shake his head gently.

"Yes, yes!" Yi Chuyang nodded repeatedly, picked up his mobile phone and muttered to himself, "I...I'll pay him some money, maybe, maybe.... ..it will be fine....it will be..."

He was completely immersed in his own world, or maybe, he actually knew it early on, but he still chose the former.

"Yangyang, Yangyang....Yangyang!" Yi Chunuan stopped him, and then took him directly into his arms.

Bang boring

The phone fell to the ground, and Yi Chuyang froze in place.

Just listening, Yi Chunuan's voice trembled slightly, but his tone calmed him even more gently, "Yangyang, we won't fight... okay?"

"Why...why...?" Yi Chuyang burst into tears, his heart aching, and he read it over and over again, "What if? Sister, what if he picks it up this time? What if...what if?"

Yi Chunuan silently hugged him tighter.

Even if it's just one ten thousandth, one ten millionth, one billionth of the ethereal...

Yi Chuyang always had to think about something and look for something.

It seems that only in this way can he support himself and continue to move forward. . . .

But in reality, always have to turn back and pull him, and push him forward in the cruelest, most ferocious, and most violent way...

Let him have to accept everything and admit the truth. It doesn't matter whether he is sad or not, and whether he can bear it...

"Actually, I can actually endure it, as long as there is him, as long as it's him... In fact, I can endure anything." He was like a torrent that had been backlogged for a long time on a dam. As long as there is a crack in front of him, he doesn't need too much, just a little bit, and he can't keep anything, "Even if they don't like me, even if they all laugh at me, even if... .Even if you're all disappointed in me..."

"No, how could it be?"

Yi Chunuan's answer seemed to fluctuate a certain chord in Yi Chuyang's heart.

“…”

"I used to be your pride?" Yi Chuyang asked without warning.

Yi Chunuan wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and patted his back gently, as if coaxing a helpless child, "You are Yi Chuyang, of course we are proud of our family."

Yi Chuyang asked again, "Will it be the same in the future?"

"It's always been." Yi Chunuan called his name over and over again, "Yi Chuyang, Yi Chuyang, Yi Chuyang... Yi, Chu, Yang..."

"...Why?" Yi Chuyang smiled inexplicably, feeling somewhat relieved.

"Yi Chuyang, ah Yi Chuyang." Yi Chunuan said softly, "In the past, now, and in the future, it will always be."

Yi Chuyang is really going to be stupid, crying and laughing, laughing and crying again...

"But, sister....I really...really....I really like him..."

"Um."

"But in the future... I will never..." Yi Chuyang trembled, "Don't like him anymore."

"Um."

"I didn't want him to do anything to me either, I just... just wanted to hear what he had to say..."

"Um."

"It's just that..."

......

This town is so big that it is impossible to find the traces of the young man's lost heart.

This town is also small, so small that rumors spread quickly.

From school to off-campus, to the whole town, it took less than two weeks. …

It only took Yi Chuyang two weeks from asking for leave, transferring schools, and playing e-sports.
