Difficult To Raise Chapter 45
byChapter 45 Madman persuaded He Qian away, and Jiang Ran became sullen…
After persuading He Qian to leave, Jiang Ran walked towards the laboratory building with a calm face.There were not many students in the laboratory building at the moment, so he went to the rooftop smoothly.
Just when he pushed the door open, he saw Jiang Jin sitting on the edge of the rooftop with his back to him, his long legs hanging naturally, swaying with his movements.
Jiang Ran took two steps forward and was about to speak when he suddenly saw the man opening his arms in the wind, his black hair flying wildly, and his whole figure looked like a butterfly about to spread its wings and fly away.
Jiang Ran was startled, and without thinking, he rushed forward, grabbed his waist and hugged him down.The power that burst out in that moment shocked even himself.
The two of them were forced back several steps by this inertia before they stood still.
Jiang Jin looked back and looked at him in a daze.
Jiang Ran stared at his face, his eyes suddenly turned red, he pinched his chin with his hands, and said viciously: “What are you going to do? Huh? Tell me what you just wanted to do?!”
The pain in his jaw brought Jiang Jin back to his senses. He lowered his eyelashes slightly and suddenly laughed: “Brother, you don’t think I’m going to jump from here, do you?”
Jiang Ran pursed his lips and said nothing.
Jiang Jin said dumbfounded: “How could I do such a thing? I just want to sit here and enjoy the breeze and see the scenery of your school. Your school is so big, you can’t even see the side. Look -”
He pointed in one direction, “There is a ginkgo tree over there. It’s huge. It should be very beautiful in autumn. There are also a lot of wintersweet trees planted over there. In winter…”
Jiang Ran just stared at him, his breathing still a little unsteady.
Jiang Jin paused and lowered his voice: “Brother, you are still here. No matter how bad the world is, I will stay.”
“Shut up!” Jiang Ran let go of his hand and realized that he had misunderstood. He turned his head and coughed uncomfortably. His face was still straight: “Even…even if you don’t have that idea, the action just now was very dangerous. Don’t do it again in the future.”
Jiang Jin smiled, sat back down nonchalantly, repeated the action just now, and asked, “Brother, are you concerned about me?”
Jiang Ran looked at him and said nothing.
The smile on Jiang Jin’s face grew bigger and bigger. He didn’t press Jiang Ran anymore, maybe he also knew that he wouldn’t get the answer he wanted.He just turned his head, suddenly leaned forward, and jumped down with a bit of neatness and determination.
Jiang Ran opened his eyes wide and only had time to see a strand of black hair brushing the end of his eyes.In just such a short second, he had already fallen into the wind.
A big living man, his brother, disappeared from the windy rooftop.
What?What happened?
At that moment, Jiang Ran was completely stunned.It felt like something exploded in his head, blowing him to pieces. He couldn’t keep up with his thoughts, and his chest was so tight that he felt panicked.
Then came fear, a fear I had never felt before in my life, a terrifying emotion that could knock someone down instantly.
The whole world seemed to have changed color, and only the gray sky above and the wind blowing on the face were real.
He rushed to the rooftop as fast as he could in his life and shouted crazily down below: “Jiang…Jiang Jin! Jiang Jin! Xiao Jin!”
After shouting several times but getting no response, Jiang Ran was so flustered that he took out his cell phone from his pocket with trembling hands. He took it out several times without taking it out. When he finally took it out, he couldn’t hold it and almost dropped it on the ground.
“It’s fake, are you kidding me?! What the hell? I’m fucking dreaming…”
His soul seemed to be torn in half. After the dazed and unreal feeling passed, unspeakable pain spread throughout his body, making Jiang Ran’s whole body tremble.
If I didn’t still have some sense left, I would have known that I should call the emergency call first.
He might have jumped after that figure.
Finally taking out his phone, he opened the dialing page and typed on the keyboard, 1, 1…
There is one number left to play.
A figure suddenly emerged from below.
The man was very fast. He held the edge of the rooftop, turned over beautifully, and jumped up neatly.
The young man had a sly smile on his face, and his eyes curved into the shape of crescent moons.A face that is alive and full of vitality.
Lost and found…
Jiang Ran stared blankly at the familiar face. The tears in his eyes had not yet been put away, and the tip of his nose was red. The hand holding the phone was even shaking unconsciously, looking a little pitiful.
“Ah…” The smile on Jiang Jin’s face froze, as if he was at a loss, “What’s wrong? I’m fine, I’m fine. There is a terrace below, I jumped when I saw it right. I was just joking, brother, you… don’t do this.”
He reached out to wipe away his tears, but before he could touch his face, Jiang Ran slapped him away.
The back of my hand was red from the force, and there was a burning pain.Jiang Jin didn’t pay attention and took two more steps forward.
“Get away!” Jiang Ran roared in a hoarse voice, then lowered his head and looked down at the rooftop.
Sure enough, there is a hidden terrace underneath. It’s not big. I don’t know what it is used for. It’s hidden in a corner and can’t be seen without paying attention. This is where Jiang Jin jumped just now.
The overwhelming despair was still right in front of me, but it was replaced by the joy of surviving the disaster.Under the great joy and sorrow, the anger in Jiang Ran’s heart was burning, and there was a surge of emotions, like an uncontrollable volcano that was about to erupt.
He raised his head and stared at the unharmed Jiang Jin, his eyes so red that they seemed to be bleeding.
Jiang Jin stared at him and said, “Brother——”
After saying just one word, he received a fierce punch in the face.Jiang Jin was shaken by the beating, and he tasted blood in his mouth.
Jiang Ran was so angry that he didn’t hold back at all with this punch, which was full of force.
Jiang Jin raised his eyes and looked at him, subconsciously wiped the corner of his mouth, spread his hand and glanced at his fingertips, which were red and bloody.
“You’re fucking relying on me to care about you, right? Do you find it exciting? Is it fun? It’s interesting to see me rushing around like a fool, right?”
Jiang Ran’s lips were slightly open, and his voice was trembling when he spoke, with a clear vibrato, “A joke? Do you usually joke with others like this? Have you never been beaten? If you need a spanking, tell me, and you will be finished if I don’t spank you!”
“I’m sorry.” Jiang Jin straightened up and said, “I shouldn’t have scared you like this.”
“Have you ever thought about what if you jump off the mark, what if the terrace is unstable, what if…”
Jiang Ran couldn’t speak anymore. His eyes were bloodshot and his voice was choked with sobs.
“Brother, I’m sorry… I’m sorry…” Seeing him like this, Jiang Ran felt at a loss.He stood there stunned for a moment, then stretched out his arms suddenly and pulled him into his arms, “It’s my fault. It’s all my fault. I went too far.”
“Get out! Let me go!” Jiang Ran pushed him and kicked his calf.
“Don’t let go.” Jiang Jin endured the pain and didn’t pay attention to his struggle at all. He just gently pressed his chin into his hair, his voice was low and a bit muffled, “It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t tease you like this. Just think that I’m stupid or crazy. Don’t be the same as me. Don’t be angry… okay?”
Jiang Ran was still pushing him away, but he didn’t push him at the beginning, and there was no chance next.Because Jiang Jin suddenly increased his strength and locked him tightly in his arms, hugging him tightly without leaving any space.
“When I jumped from here just now, do you know what I was thinking?” Jiang Jin’s voice came from above his head, sounding a little ethereal.
Jiang Ran didn’t speak. He was still angry and didn’t want to talk to him at all.But Jiang Jin didn’t seem to need his answer and continued talking on his own.
“I’m wondering why I like you. You said that younger brothers shouldn’t like older brothers. You said that you wouldn’t accept me. You said that you don’t like me. But why… I do.”
Why?
At first, he couldn’t find the answer, and he even doubted whether there was really something wrong with him.But later, he seemed to understand a little bit more – maybe it was because, since he was very young, his eyes had been looking at Jiang Ran for too long.
The first time he could remember, Jiang Jin saw Jiang Ran smiling at him.At that time, he didn’t quite understand the meaning of laughter, but he just felt that staying by this person’s side would make him feel at ease.
Later, my parents moved away and separated, and their family became fragmented.Only Jiang Ran kept holding his hand and didn’t let go.
Every time he felt scared and sad, the person he saw when he opened his eyes was him.When he cried, was tired, or was hurt, he was the one who would hold him and comfort him.
I don’t know since when, his eyes have been following him subconsciously, looking for him, and can no longer see anyone else.
All his emotions, happy and unhappy, he just wanted to share with him alone.
“Brother, you asked me to give up, saying that you only regarded me as your younger brother and that you didn’t want to see me. But I couldn’t look back. The moment I realized it, it was too late.”
“If you had really fallen just now,” he rolled his eyes and said with a chuckle, “I wonder if you would not be so entangled and uncomfortable, and you would not feel troubled anymore, and you would not have nightmares in which you dreamed that I was pestering you.”
It is said that after death, people will enter another world.
Jiang Jin didn’t know what it would be like if he really died, whether he would still remember what happened during his lifetime, and whether he would still have memories.If the answer is yes, then his love will not stop.
But he will quietly hide in a corner of the world. Jiang Ran will no longer know, and he can follow him and watch him unscrupulously.
He would be better off in a world without him.
That seems… pretty good.
“But, you didn’t seem happy just now. Because if you do that, you will never see me again, and you won’t be able to let me go.”
“So, just stop hating me, okay?”
“I’m actually not that annoying, am I?” Jiang Jin patted his back again and again and placed a cold kiss on his hair: “Brother, I know you still care about me.”
“Jiang Jin! Jiang Jin!” Jiang Ran bit down on his shoulder, grinding the piece of meat with his teeth. Hearing him gasp in pain, the anger and other complicated and unspeakable emotions in his heart poured into him. Until he tasted the smell of blood, he said viciously, “You are a little lunatic!”
Jiang Jin endured the pain and laughed twice, and said happily: “You raised that too.”
Jiang Ran wanted to say, then I fucking regret it, okay?
But saying it would be too hurtful, so after thinking about it, he still didn’t say it.
He just said: “Don’t rely on me for everything. Why didn’t you say it was your father who provided for you?”
He added in his heart that he didn’t think it was so difficult to raise him when he first raised her. At that time, Jiang Jin was obviously very well-behaved, how could he be like now, always challenging his bottom line.
Jiang Jin had a smile on his face and followed his words: “Brother is right, how can he compare to you.”
“I don’t know what your father has taught you all these years…” Jiang Ran closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and exhaled, “But listen to me! You are my brother, no matter what happens, you will always be my brother! You… are very important to me.”
“Next time I do something like this, I won’t just punch you.”
“I will leave,” Jiang Ran said one word at a time: “I will go to a place where I will never see you again, all over the world, and I will never see you again in this life.”
“No!” Jiang Jin immediately hugged him tighter, as if he would really disappear like this, “I really know I was wrong, brother, don’t say such things, don’t scare me, I will be scared.”
“You know how to be afraid?” Jiang Ran sneered.
“Yeah.” Jiang Jin nuzzled him and said, “I’m afraid, I’m afraid.”
His body temperature was very high. Being held by him like this, Jiang Ran’s body began to feel faintly hot, and he felt uncomfortable.He stretched out his hand and pushed him hard, and said impatiently: “How long will I continue to hug him? Let go now.”
Jiang Jin reluctantly let go of his hand. Just as he was about to say something else, his cell phone suddenly rang.
He took out his cell phone from his pocket, glanced down at it, his face became visibly cold, and he pressed the connect button after a few seconds.Not sure what the person on the other end of the phone said, Jiang Jin said “hmm” twice.
After hanging up the phone, he turned to look at Jiang Ran with a bit of disappointment on his face: “Brother, I have something to do in a while and I may be very busy. I’m afraid I won’t have time to see you again for a long time. I sent you a message and you have to reply. Do you understand?”
Jiang Ran lowered his eyes and remained silent.
Jiang Jin urged him: “Brother? Talk.”
Jiang Ran responded: “I know.”
“Then I call you and you have to answer it.”
Jiang Ran was impatient: “It depends on the situation.”
Jiang Jin didn’t want to push him too hard, so he just said “oh” and lowered his head in disappointment.After a moment, he carefully added: “Then… I’m not here, so remember to miss me.”
Jiang Ran sighed and put his phone in his pocket.I thought to myself, this little lunatic is really capable of doing things.
It doesn’t work if you try hard, and it doesn’t work if you try soft.I couldn’t see him feeling sad or wronged, but at some point, I was so angry at what he did.
“Stop nagging,” he heard himself say, “If you do it again I will block you.”
*
After leaving the laboratory building, Jiang Ran called He Qian.
He Qian found a milk tea shop waiting for him in the school’s life square. When he received the call, he was still playing the game and said: “Okay, okay, come on, I’m at the shop we went to last time. The sign is the green one. I’m waiting for you here… Damn it, shooter, go up and deal damage! You’re already in the fucking late stage, what are you doing standing there?! After eating a whole round of economy, you’re not allowed to fight wild monsters!”
Jiang Ran: “…”
By the time he arrived at the milk tea shop, He Qian had just finished playing the game and lost as expected.He said depressedly: “It’s too cheating. I really can’t stand it anymore. I shouldn’t be playing games right now. Wouldn’t it be better to go back and play blackmail with my brothers at night?”
Jiang Ran smiled: “You have won so many games in a row before, how can you keep winning? Let’s go eat first and play together later.”
“Okay, I happen to be hungry too.”
The two of them walked out of the back door of the school. He Qian led Jiang Ran and turned into a slightly deserted street.
There is a kebab shop at the end of the street. It looks unprepossessing, but there are so many customers that they even have to wait for a table.
The two took their numbers and sat next to each other, chatting and waiting.By the time they waited in line, selected the ingredients, and the fragrant kebabs were finally served, it was already completely dark.
The owner of the kebab shop is a fat, middle-aged man with a Northeastern accent who is warm and cheerful.Seeing that they had been waiting for so long, he decided to give them a snack.
“This is our specialty here.” The boss smiled and boasted to them, “You can’t get it anywhere else.”
The two smiled and thanked.
Jiang Ran picked at the plate of dark stuff with chopsticks, not daring to speak, “What is this? It’s not poisonous, right?”
“Didn’t I tell you?” He Qian laughed, “Special snacks.”
“Where in the Northeast is this boss from?”
“I really didn’t ask about this.” He Qian picked up a piece of something from the plate, put it in his mouth and tasted it, and then he suddenly realized.”This must be made of some kind of mushroom. It’s quite delicious. Try it quickly.”
Jiang Ran tried it doubtfully, “It seems…it’s not bad.”
“Right, right? Even though the decoration of this store is not very good, the taste is really good and it is quite famous in this area.” He Qian said, putting a piece of roasted pork belly into Jiang Ran’s bowl, “The pork belly here is their signature, you can try it again.”
Jiang Ran picked it up and took a bite. The taste was indeed amazing. It was spicy and delicious, but not too salty. No wonder the business was so prosperous.
Eating skewers must be paired with beer. He Qian asked the boss how many bottles he wanted and poured it for Jiang Ran.
Jiang Ran had just experienced something thrilling and exciting, so he was happy to have a few drinks with him.The two of them exchanged glasses, going back and forth, chatting about the past from time to time, which was quite interesting.
While I was eating, the music in the store turned on.The moment the song started playing, Jiang Ran’s expression changed slightly – he was too familiar with this sound.
There were two little girls sitting at the table next to them, and they were also discussing after hearing the singing.
“It’s actually a song about Waiting for the Rain to Stop!” one person said excitedly, “Our family is so successful in Waiting for the Rain to Stop. You can hear their song here.”
“What’s waiting for the rain to stop?” asked another.
“It’s a band. Haven’t you seen their video? It’s been very popular recently. It was all over the screen. I fell straight into the trap.” The girl raised her phone and said, “Look, this is it. The lead singer in it is crazy handsome.”
The companion took it over and took a look, his eyes slightly brightened: “The drummer in the back is not bad either. With these hands and this face, were they chosen based on their looks?”
“Yeah, right? You can obviously make a living by your reputation, but you have to rely on your talent. And the songs they release are very good, they are like a treasure band… By the way, do you want to pay attention too?”
…
The two girls’ voices were a bit loud, and He Qian was forced to listen.After hearing the content clearly, he curled his lips in disdain and whispered: “The drummer waiting for the rain to stop? Isn’t that He Siyu? How handsome is he? Why didn’t I see it?”
“If you can’t hit a fart with three sticks, it will be a dull gourd.”
Jiang Ran was a little absent-minded: “Don’t always provoke others.”
“I didn’t recruit him. He just ignored me and was here to show off with me. How dare I provoke him? My sister will kill me if she finds out.” He Qian’s face was full of displeasure.
“Hey.” Jiang Ran suddenly pushed him, “Is it hot to wait for the rain to stop?”
“It’s okay, it’s not very popular.” He Qian said casually, “It seems that there was a live house performance some time ago. Fans took a video and uploaded it to the Internet, and it went viral. They already have a bit of a fan base, so even if it becomes popular, it’s normal. They have accumulated a lot of experience.”
Jiang Ran said “Oh”, feeling proud and sour in his heart.He knew that Jiang Jin had been fond of music since he was a child, and he had no learning conditions before. He must have suffered a lot to get to where he is today.
But the relationship between the two of them now is too delicate, and they can’t even share their joy with each other.
Jiang Ran thought for a while, and a little lonely searched for the words “wait for the rain to stop” on the video software of his mobile phone. As expected, many videos popped up.
The highest one had more than a million likes. He scrolled through the comments. Most of them were praising the song and the members for being handsome, and a small number were criticizing them.
He was happy when he saw someone praising Jiang Jin, and the corners of his mouth curled up subconsciously, but when he scrolled down further, he saw an irritating comment.
After eating, there is nothing to do: [Holy shit, the song is terrible, so I just rely on my face to market it, and look carefully, I look like that, at the level of passers-by, fans close their eyes and brag, are you embarrassed?】
Some fans who couldn’t stand it responded to him: [What do you look like?Just comment on others here, besides, this song is obviously very good, right?】
After eating and having nothing to do, he replied not to be outdone: [Does one need to know how to cool a refrigerator to evaluate it?This sounds good, don’t be too outrageous!And I’m sure this man’s height is no more than 1.7 meters, and the filter is full. Who knows what he looks like in reality.】
The corner of Jiang Ran’s raised mouth immediately froze. Probably everyone has this mentality.
You can hit or scold your own children as much as you like, but you can’t listen to others saying that they are wrong at all.
Jiang Jin himself might not even bother to pay attention to such comments.Jiang Ran was furious, and he immediately started typing, retorting with reason: “What’s not over 1.7 meters?”Can you be so tall if you are no more than 1.7 meters?You can tell it when he stands with the people around him.】
As a result, the other party responded instantly, not reasoning with him at all, and kept calling him blind, saying whatever was annoying.
I have nothing to do after eating and I replied to you: [Don’t come here, fans, I can’t communicate with people like you. I’ve never seen a man in real life, right?I feel like a nymphomaniac whenever I see a pretty girl. I don’t know how many layers of beauty filters have been added to this video. Those legs are too fake. There are still a lot of people rushing to lick her. It’s really hopeless.】
Jiang Ran’s eyes darkened when he saw it, and he wished he could fight with this man for three hundred rounds. He was the one who used the most words under this comment.
In the end, the other party may have been tired of teasing, so he replied: [Does your brother know you?Protecting him like this?@江金, take care of your dog.】
Then he blocked him very decisively and quickly.
The ultimate showdown between trolls is to block them immediately after trolling, without being sloppy. While making people jump in anger, you can still escape unscathed. This person is obviously a senior troll and knows his way around it.
Jiang Ran held back his anger, and with a sullen face, he added “I have nothing to do after eating” to the blacklist. He was still thinking to himself: You know nothing, what kind of brother?This is my brother.
After completing the operation, he noticed the person’s @ account. Jiang Ran hesitated for a while and then clicked in.
Jiang Jin’s account avatar is a photo of a hand holding a kitten. There is no daily content posted in it. Most of them are promoting the band’s songs. The occasional video is of him practicing piano, but none of them show his face.
Jiang Ran was flipping through the videos he posted on the other side of the screen, feeling indescribably complicated.It was like the star he had carefully collected was suddenly seen by everyone one day. He felt both proud and a little lost.
After the last video was played, Jiang Ran’s eyes fell on the red button under the avatar. His fingertips paused and he clicked follow.
After doing all this, Jiang Ran felt panicked for no reason, and almost quit the video software in a hurry.
He didn’t see it. Just a second before exiting, a small red dot suddenly popped up in the message bar: [Jiang Jin is following you].
After a while, there was a new reply under Heizi’s comment.
Jiang Jin replied that he was full and had nothing to do: [We know each other, we are very familiar with you, and you are really full and have nothing to do.】
*
Jiang Ran and the black man squirted back and forth for a long time. They were so angry that they lost their appetite and finished their meal hastily.
Several days have passed since I saw that message.Jiang Ran didn’t watch videos all the time, but sometimes he would open it and take a look when he was bored.
There were no classes that afternoon, and Jiang Ran had made an appointment with Tang Qin to play games in the dormitory.Who knew that after waiting and waiting, no one came back.
After thinking for a while, he sent a message to Tang Qin.
R: [Where are you?I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.】
After the message was sent, there was no movement from the other party. It took a long time before Tang Qin finally received a reply.
Tang Qin: [Ran’er, I’m sorry, I won’t be able to come back for a while, so you can just play by yourself first, ah.】
Jiang Ran looked puzzled and replied: [What have you been doing?】
Tang Qin came over with a shy expression: [Do you remember the C-sized girl I told you about last time?Just dance!Isn’t this… She asked me to go out to play badminton today. Do you think I can refuse?Can it?】
Jiang Ran replied to him with a cold face: [Yes.】
Tang Qin: [Oh, you don’t understand. Do you know that heroes are saddened by beauties?If it were you, if a handsome guy with an amazing body and appearance asked you out, you wouldn’t be able to refuse.】
Jiang Ran: [Are you a hero?You are just a bear, and you are a bear who forgets his friends!Get out of here!】
Tang Qin sent two roses: [When I come back, I will bring you food to apologize. I love you, Ran’er.】
Jiang Ran almost laughed out of anger at him. He closed the chat box and had no interest in playing games anymore.He thought for a while and simply opened the video software, intending to watch a few interesting videos to pass the time.
As soon as he entered, he saw a new follower, and Jiang Ran was stunned for a moment.His account is completely blank, with no content at all. How come someone is following him out of nowhere?
When he clicked on it, he saw that it was Jiang Jin who had locked him up.
Jiang Ran was a little confused, is this how Jiang Jin usually protects his fans?Will he follow everyone who follows him?
No matter what he thought, something was wrong. He clicked on Jiang Jin’s account and looked at it. There were only a few people on the follow list, almost all of whom were members of the band.
Jiang Ran’s heart skipped a beat. Could it be that Jiang Jin recognized him?
He carefully thought about what he had done with this account before, frowned and thought for a long time, and suddenly remembered that when he was eating that day, he was so idle that he exchanged dozens of comments with a black guy.
Later, it seemed that Heizi also had a crush on Jiang Jin.
Jiang Ran’s eyes darkened, and he hurriedly looked through the previous comments. After clicking in, he realized that the person had already deleted the comment and left.
I don’t know if Jiang Jin saw it or not. If he did, he would be really embarrassed.
Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Ran’s face turned red.He clicked on Jiang Jin’s homepage, slid his finger to Unfollow, hesitated in that column for a while, and finally didn’t press it.
Forget it, wouldn’t it be more conspicuous to unfollow now?Jiang Ran thought to himself that if he was really recognized, he would refuse to admit it.
He raked his hair irritably and was about to exit the video software when he suddenly saw from the corner of his eye that Jiang Jin’s homepage seemed to have updated a video.
Jiang Ran clicked it and took a look. Jiang Jin’s face actually appeared in the video.He was wearing casual home clothes and looked lazy.
The background of the video is in a bedroom. It doesn’t look like a dormitory, but a certain room. The layout is inexplicably familiar.
Jiang Ran frowned and wanted to take a closer look, but the angle of the video shooting was limited and nothing could be seen. He could only see a few guitars scattered around behind.
Jiang Jin sat in front of the camera, with a white kitten lying in his arms.The kitten looks young. The fur all over its body is soft and fluffy. Its big, watery eyes look at the camera unblinkingly. It is so cute.
Jiang Jin picked up one of its paws, waved at the camera, and said with a smile, “Say hello?”
The kitten meowed in cooperation, making a milky sound.
Jiang Jin reached out and scratched its chin as a reward: “It’s so good.”
The kitten seemed to particularly like his touch, squinting its eyes in enjoyment and making tiny meows from its mouth, acting like a spoiled child.Its eyes are blue and look clear and transparent, like beautiful glass beads.
Jiang Jin smiled lowly and rubbed its pointed ears again.After rubbing it twice, the kitten stretched out its two front paws to reach for his hand. It retracted its paws and hugged it only with its soft flesh pads. Its pink tongue poked out and licked his slender fingertips.
“Little stupid orange.” Jiang Jin raised the corners of his lips slightly and asked softly, “Are you hungry?”
Kitten: Meow.
Jiang Jin said “Oh”: “Want to go out and play?”
Kitten: Meow!!
Jiang Jin glanced at it and said deliberately: “I won’t go.”
When the kitten heard this, its blue eyes were filled with grievances. After a while, it rolled on Jiang Jin and exposed its soft belly to him.
It stretched out its pink flesh pads and meowed, making people’s hearts melt.
Jiang Jin rubbed its head and whispered: “I know, don’t act like a baby.”
The video ends here.
Netizens in the comment area were all impressed by the cuteness of this kitten and left messages one after another:
[I just asked my cat and he said they are all fake and staged. Don’t be fooled.】
【Is this a cat?So what is that in my house?I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it??There is no way such a cute kitten exists in the world.】
[Can you help me ask what color sack your cat likes?I finally understand why someone would steal a cat after a breakup. Woohoo, it’s so cute.】
【The hands are so beautiful!Brother, is this your cat?What’s your name?】
…
Jiang Ran saw it funny, and subconsciously scrolled down again. Suddenly he turned to the next comment, and his fingertips couldn’t help but pause.
[Quietly, am I the only one who thinks this cat is very similar to Chen Qing’s one?Could it be the same one?】
A tall building was built below this comment:
[It’s really similar, the coat color and size are exactly the same, I think they are the same one!】
[I used my 5.2 eyesight to identify it, and it is definitely the same one that has not escaped.】
[But why is Chen Qing’s cat here with Jiang Jin?】
【Why else?Hey, he’s a teammate, so it’s not too much to help raise the cat, right?】
[Even if they are teammates, they are of the opposite sex after all. Are they so close to each other?Whispering, I have a bold guess.】
【＋1】
The painting style on this floor suddenly became gossipy, and someone posted a comparison picture of the two cats, which was conclusively said to be the same one.
Chen Qing… Jiang Ran searched for this name, and many photos popped up on the Internet, which looked familiar.He thought about it carefully, and after a long time he remembered that this was the girl Jiang Jin had hugged on the street behind the bar last time.
Thinking of this, he felt blocked.Jiang Jin already has a girlfriend, yet she actually says she likes him.
Jiang Ran pursed his lips tightly, his eyes paused on the small picture for a few seconds, then he clicked it and looked around.
At a glance, anyone would think it was the same one.But when you look closely, you can see that there are subtle differences between the two kittens.
The color of Jiang Jin’s cat’s eyes is light blue, while Chen Qing’s one is darker.
He breathed a sigh of relief inexplicably and flipped back. When he flipped back again, he found that Jiang Jin had replied to this comment.
Jiang Jin: [They are not the same ones. Chen Qing’s one is called Toffee, and mine is called Fat Orange. They were brought back from the same cat mother, so of course they will look alike.】
Jiang Ran stared blankly, finding it hard to imagine Jiang Jin going to adopt a kitten. Did he like cats so much when he was a child?
A certain distant memory appeared in his mind, and Jiang Ran was slightly startled, as if… he liked it.
At that time, Jiang Jin was still in elementary school. Once, a stray orange cat came near their house and kept wandering around the stairs.Jiang Jin came back from school and saw it, and his eyes suddenly lit up.
The next day, he took out the pocket money he had saved for a long time, went to the convenience store to buy a ham sausage, and squatted on the dark stairs to feed the cat quietly.
The orange cat has been wandering for too long and is very wary of strangers. It only approaches cautiously after smelling the smell of food.Jiang Jin obviously wanted to touch it, but was afraid of being scratched, so he could only retract his hand angrily.
Later, after feeding for a long time, the kitten was finally willing to be touched by him. Jiang Jin almost jumped up with joy. He went back at night and hugged Jiang Ran and talked for a long time.
Until one day, the cat suddenly disappeared. I don’t know whether it was adopted or something happened.
Jiang Jin waited at the same place for a week, but couldn’t wait for the kitten. When he came home, he quietly wiped away tears.
Jiang Ran saw it at that time, but he never thought of letting Jiang Jin raise a cat at that time.After all, they are just two and a half-year-old children. They cannot take care of themselves, so how can they have the time to raise other small animals?
When he recalled this, Jiang Ran felt inexplicably uncomfortable. He seemed to have neglected Jiang Jin too much in the past, and could not give him anything except food and clothing.
Jiang Ran lowered his eyes and looked at the screen. The light from the phone hit his face, illuminating a cold white.My fingertips slid unconsciously, and new comments popped up.
[However, this cat is obviously white, why is it named Fat Orange?】
Jiang Ran’s eyes moved slightly, a sour feeling came over him, and his thoughts were drawn into that evening again.When he came back from school, he saw Jiang Jin crying softly with tears in her eyes.
How did he coax him back then?Jiang Ran thought that he seemed to have given him a promise.
“Brother, is the kitten dead?” The child cried until his eyes were red, and he asked in a low voice while sobbing: “Will it never come back again?”
“No.” Jiang Ran comforted him: “It just didn’t think it was fun here anymore, so it moved to another place to play.”
“But,” the child blinked, tears rolled down his long and curly eyelashes, “I’m still waiting for it. I wait for it there every day. The kitten can see me as long as it comes back. I’ve been waiting for a long time, but it never comes back. Brother, I’m so sad.”
“It doesn’t matter,” Jiang Ran wiped his tears, “will my brother help you raise a kitten from now on?”
The child looked at him for two seconds and suddenly stopped crying. He raised his misty eyes and stared at Jiang Ran: “Really?”
“Really.” Jiang Ran said.
Jiang Jin rushed up and hugged his neck, put her face on his chest, and rubbed it gently: “Brother, don’t lie to me.”
“I won’t lie to you.”
“Brother, let’s give the kitten a name.” Jiang Jin coquettishly held her in his arms and looked at him expectantly.
Jiang Ran thought for a while: “Call me Fat Orange.”
He had seen the orange cat that Jiang Jin fed. Although it was a stray cat, its body was round and round, like a plump and juicy orange.
Fat orange.
Jiang Ran curled up his fingers slightly, feeling as if his heart was scratched by something, a little itchy.
He pulled back the progress bar of the video and watched it again.
By the time he came to his senses, Jiang Ran had been watching the video for a long time inexplicably, and he liked and saved the video.
Jiang Ran looked at the profile face frozen on the screen, and pressed the sun button with some irritation, trying to cancel the two red hearts he clicked. His fingers paused on them for a long time, but never pressed them.
Forget it…
Jiang Ran logged out of the video software with a cold face and vowed not to log in again for the next half month.
