Chapter 5 V

With the ceiling fan whirring overhead, Xia Zang and Yang Sheng exchanged contact information, and now they are sitting on the edge of the bed and casually playing with Snake.

The flickering black pixels are food, and the pixel line that stretches along with the devoured food is the greedy snake he controls.

Xia Zang can score more than 1000 points at most. Watching the snake's body surround the screen, he will inevitably kill himself by hitting his tail.

One thousand two that can't be broken through, fortunately, he has no obsession with it.

Looking up, Yang Sheng was curled up on a low stool to read Xia Zang's "Anthology of Hans Christian Andersen's Fairy Tales".

Xia Zang's eyes moved slightly, and at this moment his Nokia buzzed, and a call came.

is the mother.

"Hello, Mom." Xia Zang answered the phone, Yang Sheng glanced at him, then looked down at the book again.

Thinking about that collection of fairy tales, it was one of the gifts his mother gave him, and it collected Andersen's middle and late fairy tales.

Or it should not be called a fairy tale, there are no princes and princesses, mermaids or Thumbelina in it, only the little girl who sells matches but freezes to death, the mother who lost her child, and the lazy man who lost his lover and is depressed all his life.

Xia Zang kept this book by his side for many years, because it took him so many years to barely understand all the stories.

Before, he also wanted to ask his mother why she gave him such a collection of fairy tales.

But before he could ask the question, he guessed the answer. With his mother's character, he would definitely smile and say, "Oh, I just looked at the beautiful cover and picked it up for you."

Mother has always been indifferent.

"Xiao Zang, finally entered the third year of high school, are you happy?"

See, her old man is always good at mixing two unrelated words together.

In the third year of high school, happy... The wind and the horse are irrelevant.

"It's okay." So Xia Zang replied perfunctorily.

"Oh, my son, you are so cold every time, it makes my mother feel very sad!" The mother complained pretending to be wronged.

"If you have nothing to do, I'll hang up first." Xia Zang remained unmoved.

Mother hurriedly shouted: "Okay, okay, do you have enough living expenses?"

"Enough." Xia Zang lowered his eyes, "Enough for me for more than half a year."

"Oh, it seems that I gave you [-] yuan last time." My mother thought about it, and then said enthusiastically, "I will send you some money later. You are in the third year of high school, so you have to make up for it."

"If it's not enough, just ask me!"

Mom, did you send the money from Dashui?Xia Zang pressed his sore eyebrows, and softened his voice: "No need, Mom, don't worry about me, just get along with uncle."

"You child... just move your uncle out while talking." The mother sighed, "Oh, yes, he also said, let you concentrate on your studies, and after June next year, he will bring you to the main city play."

"Then please help me thank you uncle." Xia Zang said, "I still need to read, so let's not talk about it, Mom."

"Oh, let me say one more thing, you don't have to reply to me." The mother interrupted hurriedly, "Try your best, don't have a cold war with your father, if you are young and sensible, let his old and ignorant .”

Sure enough, before Xia Zang could respond, his mother hung up the phone.

Ugh.

Xia Zang put down his phone and looked up. Yang Sheng dropped his book and was picking it up in a panic with his head down.

"I'm sorry, brother, I didn't hold it steady." The little hamster explained timidly.

"It's okay." Xia Zang said, he still decided not to be so cold, after all, he was said so by two people in just a few hours.

Xia Zang added: "Which story did you see?"

"Well, Oneiroi." Yang Sheng raised the page of the book in his hand, "It's the story about Oneiroi taking a child to travel around the world in a dream."

Oh, that story is a rare warm color in this collection of fairy tales.

"You can read very quickly." Xia Zang said.

"Because if you see something you don't want to watch, just skip it." Yang Sheng said leisurely.

Well, when I didn't say it.

"Do you want to take a nap?" Xia Zang had no choice but to find something to say.

"No need, bro, go to sleep, I'll read a book for a while." Yang Sheng replied, and straightened his sitting posture a little.

Xia Zang didn't want to bother him too much, set an alarm clock for 03:30, then lifted the thin quilt and lay down.

Yang Sheng finished reading the "Oneiroi" story, put down the fairy tale collection, and glanced at Xia Zang's side face.

Huh, it sounds like Xia Zang has a good relationship with his biological mother.

That's right, Xia Zang moved out as soon as he was a freshman in high school, and his uncle didn't seem to give him a penny.

Without his aunt's support, Xia Zang would not be able to rent a place with such a considerable space.

"Hush, you should be more obedient and sensible." At that time, the uncle was very angry and patted the mahogany table several times.

Yang Sheng nodded with a smile on his face, mainly because he was under the eaves and had to bow his head.

His mother rescued him from his uncle, and let him stare at the hot water of the water dispenser while making milk powder for his younger sister.

As for the uncle's "obedient and sensible" speech, the mother did not make any comments.

It is said that Xia Zang had a conflict with his uncle because he found evidence that his uncle cheated on Xia Zang's middle school teacher.

Yang Sheng wanted to listen more, thinking about fighting for greater benefits for his mother, but his mother took his ears and led him away from the door frame of the study.

Mother won't let him meddle in his own business.

Then Yang Sheng figured out that the way to win greater benefits for his mother was to keep silent.

It was too ugly to the point of divorce, and the one who suffered was the mother.

Because she is just a housewife with no source of income.

Fortunately, she has a beautiful appearance, even the years haven't ruined her, so she can find another husband's family who can live comfortably with the burden of Yang Sheng.

Mother, you are as smart as hell, but also as stupid as hell.

Yang Sheng couldn't accuse her of anything, after all, he was his own mother, he just felt that the wounds on his body were for nothing.

The husband turned from a violent maniac to a high-ranking machismo, and for a while he didn't know whether it was a blessing or a curse.

But my mother is indeed, I am used to it.

Later, the conflict between Xia Zang and his uncle came to an end when Xia Zang moved away. When Yang Sheng asked to live in school, his uncle gave Yang Sheng far more living expenses than expected, and said harshly that he would not give Xia Zang a penny.

"I'm old and dead, and I don't want him to visit my grave!"

Yang Sheng, who received the living expenses, respectfully went in his left ear and out of his right ear, and later he heard his mother sigh: "Xiao Zang has to bow his head, admit his mistake, won't this matter be turned over?"

Yang Sheng didn't say anything, he just thought it was cool for Xia Zang to do this.

super cool.

But he still heard some inexplicable things outside the study, for example, his uncle yelled at Xia Zang: "You boy, don't pretend to be a good person with me! Back then, when that bitch of your mother went out to find a man, did you tell me?"

Then, in the study, a shelf fell over.

Then, the mother came up and picked his ears.

The affairs of adults are really troublesome.

But Yang Sheng himself, on the day when the college entrance examination ends next year, he has to enter the gate and become an "adult".

It's a pity that when he was a child, he was not a good child, and the Oneiroi would not come into his dreams and take him on a long journey around the world.

So, still asleep.

Xia Zang opened his eyes. Due to the curtains being drawn, Yang Sheng curled up on the table with his slender body, unable to see the outline of his side face clearly.

However, Xia Zang admitted that the little hamster was good-looking and had inherited his aunt's good genes.

After all, Yang Sheng can't be allowed to lie on his stomach like this, it's not good for his spine, Xia Zang was thrown out of bed.

"Go to bed." Xia Zang couldn't lift him up from the table, so he bent down and patted the side of his face.

Yang Sheng half-opened his eyes, "Well, good."

Standing up reluctantly with the support of the table, still unsteady, squinting at Xia Zang and smirking.

Xia Zang turned sideways, and the man collapsed like a jade mountain, throwing himself onto the bed.

Asleep on his side, with the quilt under his body, Xia Zang restrained his thoughts of carrying him, and lay down on his side, resting his arms on his head and closing his eyes.

Summer is not over yet, so it doesn't matter if you don't cover yourself with a quilt.

Xia Zang's alarm sound is really terrible.

Yang Sheng reluctantly opened his eyes, facing Shang Xia Zang's sleeping face.

Well, my brother is still sleeping, the alarm is so loud.

Yang Sheng got a little bad-hearted, and called out his hands in front of Xia Zang's dense eyes. Xia Zang was sleeping soundly with his arms on his pillow, and didn't care about him at all.

On the contrary, the alarm went off once, and then came a second time. Yang Sheng patiently groped for the culprit from under the pillow.

Turn it off, and the world will be quiet again.

Then he lay down quietly again, carefully looking at Xia Zang's face from the corners of his eyebrows and eyes through the dim light cast from the corner of the curtain.

So white, it should be the legendary cold white skin, the facial features alone are not outstanding and beautiful, but they look good together.

Seductive.

Yang Sheng thought, maybe he and Xia Zang had no conflicts because Xia Zang looked comfortable.

Nothing aggressive.

"Are you awake?" The small fan-like eyelashes trembled, and Xia Zang woke up.

"Wake up." Yang Sheng's Adam's apple moved slightly, and he responded softly.

"Brother, do you want to go together after school at night?"

"Come on, we'll go our separate ways, and we'll have to line up to take a shower when we come back together."

"Just the two of us, the queue won't last long."

The little hamster has bright eyes and is very active.

If Xia Zang refuses again, it will be very unreasonable, he nodded and agreed: "Okay."

The author has something to say:

I'm here today, and I'll post it in two days...
