It was like falling into a dark place, and it was like waking up from a faintly transparent dream. After listening to the words for a long time, I felt my lagging breath and gradually throbbing heartbeat.

His face was extremely hot, and he couldn't help but put the back of his hand against his face to cool down, but the temperature of his hand was also very high, even higher than that of his face.

Lian Feng smiled, and stretched out his hand to touch the boy's hot face.His hands were very cold, like jade that had been soaked in the cold pool for thousands of years. Someone just opened the window, and the cold wind suddenly blew in. Lian Tingyu couldn't help shivering.

He turned his head and wanted to take the school uniform jacket from his schoolbag, when he suddenly felt the man's hand slide down his face to the nape of his neck, pulling himself into his arms.

His fingers were cold, but his chest was steaming, and even Tingyu was burned again, so he pushed him away and moved to the side.

Lian Feng asked naturally: "What's wrong?"

"Nothing." Lian Tingyu replied unnaturally.In fact, they often hugged, obviously it was a very daily physical contact, but today he suddenly felt awkward.

Very awkward.

The window was wide open, and Qiao Jinnan was sitting by the window blowing the wind, even Tingyu wanted to cool off the heat on his face, so he stood up: "I'll go find Brother Qiao."

Lian Feng held him back, just in time for the song to be switched, the room was quiet, only the blurred lights hovering on the wall.

Someone just happened to look in their direction, and Lian Tingyu finally found the reason for his awkwardness—there were too many people here.

Lian Feng was still holding his arm, Lian Tingyu turned around and whispered, "There are too many people here, don't act like a baby."

Qiao Jinnan had enough wind, and walked towards their direction, Lian Tingyu took the opportunity to say: "You talk to Brother Qiao for a while, I'll go blow some air, and I'll be right back."

He stood up and went to the window, and half opened the other window.

Qiao Jinnan was sitting on the sofa with a glass of fruit juice: "I just saw how you and Xiaoyu get along, and you can really go all out."

The bookish man looked at his classmate and friend with a smile: "What does it feel like to be a baby?"

Lian Feng glanced at him lightly.

Qiao Jinnan habitually ignored his eyes, and continued to speak: "Actually, I have never known what the relationship between you and Xiaoyu is. I feel that Xiaoyu regards you as a real brother, and your feelings for Xiaoyu... are very complicated.can not tell."

"But it's amazing that you live together in such a daft way."

Lian Feng put down his wine glass and didn't speak.

Qiao Jinnan thought for a while and said, "I don't know if you and Xiaoyu are family or love, but family and love are different."

He wanted to explain the difference between the two. Qiao Jinnan vaguely remembered that he had confused these two different feelings, but forgot the specific process.

He rubbed his forehead, and relayed to Lianfeng what someone said to him in his memory: "Family affection is family affection, and love is love. If you want family affection, you have to give up love, and if you want love, you must lose family affection."

Lian Feng smiled: "It's not that I can't take care of both."

"I've known you for almost ten years, I hope you live well." Qiao Jinnan always has a soft sensibility, "But I still can't imagine what your lover looks like, sometimes I feel that even youdo not love."

"The injury on your body is not..."

"Now I love myself." Lian Feng interrupted him.

When Lian Tingyu came over, he just heard such a sentence, and he sat silently by the side.Qiao Jinnan greeted him, and continued: "It's good to love yourself. I'll go play with them for a while, and you can talk."

Lian Tingyu took a sip of the juice on the table, and heard the girl who often opened the door for him sing a very cute song.

Then he turned his head and asked Lian Feng: "You said you love yourself."

"Um."

Lian Tingyu stared at him: "When you say yourself, do you mean you or me?"

Lian Feng smiled: "What do you think?"

"Of course it is me."

Lian Tingyu paid attention to the man's expression while talking, he saw the man stretch out his hand and touched his head.

"Of course it's you."

Lian Feng was wearing a silky black shirt today, and the light shone on him, forming a hazy circle of light.Lian Tingyu pursed her lips and grabbed the man's withdrawn hand: "Don't move."

He leaned forward, grabbed the man's collar and leaned over: "The air in the room is not very good, let me smell the perfume on your body."

The moment the boy approached, Lian Feng lowered his eyes and grabbed his wrist firmly: "Don't move."

Lian Feng's tone was a little cold, and Lian Tingyu leaned over again unhappily. He buried his head in the man's neck and stretched out his arms to hug his waist: "Brother, give me a hug."

Lian Tingyu always thought that Lian Feng was the one who was insecure and clingy, but he suddenly found that he also liked hearing men express their love to him, and he needed such straightforward love.

Lian Tingyu suddenly realized that he was also extremely insecure.

He buried his head in the nest of Lian Feng's neck, and the faint cedar fragrance from the man's body surrounded him, Lian Tingyu pursed his lips and hugged him even tighter.

The moment the heat source was attached, Lianfeng's Adam's apple rolled slightly. He stretched out his hand, paused in the air for a few seconds, and finally landed on the young man's thin back and patted lightly: "Don't act like a baby."

Lian Tingyu was a little aggrieved, and looked up at the man: "Why don't you hug me?"

Lian Feng circled the boy's wrist and stroked it, like teasing a kitten.

"Hold later."

Lian Tingyu insisted on asking a deadline: "When is the future?"

Lian Feng leaned back on the sofa, his whole face was not in the half-brightness and half-darkness.Lian Tingyu couldn't see his expression, but could only hear his voice, which was very soft and carelessly wiped from his lips.

"Wait until you grow up."

Lian Tingyu didn't like his flirtatious attitude, and retorted: "If you count by imaginary years, I'm already eighteen years old."

Lian Feng smiled, leaned closer and pinched his face: "It will be counted after the birthday."

The distance between the two was very close, and Lian Tingyu saw the faint sweat on the man's forehead. He was a little worried, and reached out to touch his forehead: "Are you sick?"

Lian Feng stopped his hand and stood up: "The company still has something to do, I'll go back first."

"Oh." Lian Tingyu responded dully.He stared at the man's back, walked around the sofa, walked through the corridor next to the karaoke table, and finally disappeared at the door.

Lian Tingyu found the Qiankun bag from the schoolbag, and took out the protective bell from the Qiankun bag.The moment the light orange bell was held in his hand, Lian Tingyu once again realized the fact that he lacked a sense of security.

Qiao Jinnan played a round of truth or dare with the clerk, and turned around to see Lian Tingyu sitting alone on the sofa, so he came over: "Xiaoyu, where's your brother?"

"The company has something to do, so leave first."

Qiao Jinnan frowned: "Why are you left here alone?"

Lian Tingyu explained: "Brother is in a hurry."

"Why are you protecting him like this?" Qiao Jinnan smiled, and suddenly remembered something, "By the way, when you go back to school tonight, go to the computer store near your school."

Lian Tingyu was a little puzzled: "Why?"

Qiao Jinnan smiled and showed him the order on the phone: "New computer, a gift for your college entrance examination."

"I don't know why, when I saw you for the first time, I felt very familiar with you." Qiao Jinnan took back the phone, "Although we are ten years apart, it is not impossible to be a year-end friend, because I reallyI really like Brother Xiaoyu's character."

Qiao Jinnan sighed: "I made friends with Lian Feng at the beginning because of his personality, so I only have one friend over the years."

Lian Tingyu was silent for a while, and asked, "Brother Qiao, do you like me very much?"

Qiao Jinnan was amused by the boy's straightforward and cute question, and touched his head while Lian Feng was away: "Of course I like it."

He didn't even speak a word, he was silent, quietly feeling the feelings in his heart.After a while, Lian Tingyu said, "Brother Qiao, you are different from my brother."

Qiao Jinnan didn't quite understand what he meant: "We are two different people, of course they are different."

Lian Tingyu covered his heart, he found that only when Lian Feng told him that he liked her, his heart would beat faster, and his whole body felt warm.

Only Lian Feng can give him a sense of security. Lian Feng is his elder brother and his only family member.

Qiao Jinnan was afraid that he would be bored, so she stayed with him all the time, but after a while, she couldn't even sit still for Tingyu.He stood up and greeted Qiao Jinnan: "Brother Qiao, I'm going back first."

Qiao Jinnan also stood up: "I'll see you off."

Lian Tingyu shook his head: "No need."

"There's no bus station nearby. I'll take you to Lian's. It's not noon yet, and you can still have lunch with your brother."

Qiao Jinnan told the coffee shop staff that Lian Tingyu was going to be delivered downstairs to Lian's, but Lian Tingyu saw the owner who sold him the hat last time, so he got off there.

He went in and bought two baseball caps, and looked at the little princess who was lazily nestling on the cushion. Unexpectedly, the shopkeeper still remembered him: "Have you found your classmate's cat?"

Lian Tingyu took the bag and nodded: "I found it."

After chatting with the owner for a few words, Lian Tingyu walked out of the hat shop.There is a bus stop sign 100 meters ahead, and the sun is a bit strong near noon, so Lian Tingyu walked slowly in the shade.

The hat shop is on a relatively remote road, and there are almost no people around. Lian Tingyu walked slowly, and suddenly saw a little silver jumping on the asphalt road ahead.

It looked very unusual, Lian Tingyu squeezed the bell of his body, planning to leave here.But that little bit of silver is really familiar, even listening to the words and thinking of something, slowly leaning over——

Sure enough, it was a small silver carp.

The little carp was writhing in vain on the road, with blood on its body.Lian Tingyu quickly took out several bottles of mineral water from the Qiankun bag and poured them on the little carp.

The bell of the protective body that turned on the invisibility array suddenly grew bigger, covering Lian Tingyu and the little carp inside, and the little carp emitted a white light, and he turned into Long Aotian.

The exposed skin of the silver-haired boy was red, and there were large and small wounds on his body. He staggered and coughed: "Ahem, cough, bad, almost died of lack of water!"

Lian Tingyu supported him.

Long Aotian was furious and said: "I'm so mad, five hundred years of Taoism was almost destroyed, where did the stinky monk come from, and he still engages in catching monsters in 2033, I will report him to the association tomorrow!"

Long Aotian cursed a lot of foul words in one breath, his skin became more and more red, Lian Tingyu quickly poured him another big bottle of water, Long Aotian exhaled: "I am lucky to have met you, there is no repayment for saving my life,Let me promise myself!"

Lian Tingyu stared at his surroundings with a sullen expression, "Get out of here first."

Long Aotian cursed nonchalantly: "Brother Jian has thousands of years of Taoism, and generally no one can break through his protective barrier."

"...But the monk who hurt me has a dark complexion, he looks like a demon monk." Long Aotian was also a little uncertain, and he drew a teleportation talisman with almost exhausted mana, "Where are you going?"

Seeing that he was tottering, Lian Tingyu quickly supported him: "Go back to my house."

Long Aotian was injured all over, so he couldn't take him to the company, so he had to go back to the villa first.

Fortunately, Long Aotian's teleportation array was very fast, and they arrived at the gate of the villa almost instantly.Long Aotian was a little sleepy, so he cheered up and talked to Lian Tingyu: "Why do you carry so much water with you?"

"In case of emergencies." Lian Tingyu supported Long Aotian with one hand, and opened the door with the other hand.

However, he found that the door was ajar, Lian Tingyu pushed the door open, and saw Lianfeng sitting in the yard reading a newspaper.
