Difficult To Raise Chapter 24
byChapter 24 Bad words. I don’t know how long it took, Jiang Ran…
I don’t know how long it took, but Jiang Ran’s eyelids became heavier and heavier, and he gradually fell into a dream.
He had an uneasy sleep. In his dream, there seemed to be countless vines tightly covering his body. The more he struggled, the tighter they became.It almost took his breath away.
At the moment when he was on the verge of suffocation, a voice seemed to fall gently on his ear, with shocking paranoia and madness, saying viciously: “After so many days and nights, I have finally waited for you. Don’t even think about leaving me again.”
“I will always follow you, brother.”
“Huh…”
Jiang Ran gasped for air and suddenly sat up from the bed.The bright sunlight outside the window shone on his face, and he squinted his eyes in discomfort.When he came back to his senses, he found that he was still in the hotel last night.But he was the only one left in the room, and Jiang Jin left quietly at some point.
He was startled, and lowered his head a little lonely.
Jiang Ran pressed his eyes, got up from the bed, washed briefly, and then went to the hotel front desk to check out.The front desk was a pretty girl. She took the room card and clicked twice on the computer, returned the room deposit to him, and said politely: “Sir, please keep it.”
Jiang Ran looked at her and hesitated for a moment, and finally asked vaguely: “When did the boy who was with me yesterday leave?”
The girl at the front desk was obviously stunned. She recalled for a while and remembered the person Jiang Ran was talking about. After all, they both looked very good. They were still two boys, so they had some impression. She kept smiling and said, “I left early this morning.”
Jiang Ran nodded, turned around and left without saying anything else.
By the time I got back to the dormitory, it was already an hour later.Jiang Ran opened the door and went in. There was only Tang Qin inside.He was playing games at the table and kept saying: “Come on! Brothers, rush with me!”
“One after another!”
“Hey, assistant, please give me a sip of milk quickly.”
It looked like a very intense fight.Hearing the sound of the door opening, he didn’t even raise his head, and just said casually: “You’re back.”
Jiang Ran hummed and said, “Where is Jiang Haodong?”
“You didn’t come back last night.” Tang Qin said in a sour tone, “They are not like us, two singles.”
At this point, he suddenly paused and asked, “Where were you last night?”
“Meet a friend.” Jiang Ran said vaguely.
Tang Qin stopped playing the game, suddenly raised his head, and looked at him in disbelief, “No way? It’s not what I thought, is it?”
“What are you thinking about?” Jiang Ran smiled helplessly, “I really met a friend. He was drunk, and I took care of him all night.”
Tang Qin said “Oh” and was instantly no longer interested.
“Do you want to come and play games?” He said, “It’s exactly three rows.”
“Third row?” Jiang Ran asked, “Is there anyone else fighting with you?”
“He’s a junior and he plays the game very well. I asked him to help me improve my score.” Tang Qin said casually: “That’s Jiang Chengyi from the psychology department. Do you know him?”
Jiang Ran felt that the name was very familiar, and he thought about it for a while before he remembered it.
“We know each other,” Jiang Ran said, “He helped me a little before.”
“Then do you want to play a few rounds?”
Normally, Jiang Ran would have agreed, but he was in a bad mood right now, so he refused and said, “Forget it, I’m still a little sleepy, let’s go and take a nap first.”
Tang Qin didn’t care when he heard this, waved his hands and said: “Okay, then I’ll put on headphones so I won’t disturb your rest.”
Jiang Ran lay drowsily on the bed. The dormitory was so quiet that only Tang Qin’s shallow breathing could be heard. After a while, even this sound could not be heard.
He fell into a dream again, and this time the dream was no longer that wet and sticky rainy night, nor was there overwhelming despair.
He dreamed that the golden crow was sinking in the west, and the sky was filled with glow.
There was a figure standing in the orange sunset and smiling at him. The figure was tall and straight and looked extremely familiar.He couldn’t help but walked closer and saw Jiang Jin’s face that had faded from youthfulness.
He lowered his head slightly to look at him and said in a low voice, “Brother, I’ve been waiting for you for a long time.”
*
In the next few days, Jiang Ran seemed to have lost half of his soul and was a little absent-minded in everything he did. Even Tang Qin joked that the food in that high-end restaurant was so delicious that he was so distracted.
Jiang Ran just raised the corner of his mouth lightly, he had no intention of joking.The originally peaceful life had been broken by Jiang Jin’s sudden appearance. He had no choice but to pretend that nothing had happened.
He wanted to see Jiang Jin, he missed him, he missed his brother so much.But the other party has already set up a sharp thorn at him. Even if he comes close, he will be covered with bruises.
After suppressing himself for nearly two weeks, Jiang Ran couldn’t stand it anymore. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no class on Friday, he found time to go to Jiang Jin’s school.
He had already inquired about it and found out that the school was a well-known international private university in S City with strong teachers. Some of the students there had particularly good grades, and some planned to go abroad after graduating from high school.
Jiang Ran didn’t know whether Jiang Jin belonged to the former or the latter. He only knew that this was his only chance to see his brother.
Not all strangers are allowed in the school, but fortunately the students get off early, so Jiang Ran can only wait outside the school gate, hoping to try his luck.
Until the sky completely darkened, Jiang Jin was nowhere to be seen.Jiang Ran was a little disappointed, thinking that he might not be able to wait any longer today, and was about to go home.
However, out of the corner of his eye, he accidentally caught a glimpse of a tall figure walking out of the school gate.
It’s Jiang Jin.
Jiang Ran was a little excited, but Jiang Jin didn’t seem to see him.Jiang Ran walked forward like a gust of wind. Jiang Ran stood there and hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to follow.
Jiang Ran is tall, has long legs, and has a long stride.During his hesitation, the other party disappeared, and he could only chase him in the direction of his disappearance based on his memory.
As we walked along, the street lights on the street corners glowed dimly.There are far fewer people coming and going, and many shops have begun to close.
Jiang Ran didn’t know where Jiang Jin was going so late. He was a little worried about his safety and his steps became more hurried.
On the way, I occasionally passed a closed shop. There were large green plants planted outside the shop. It was blooming season now and the fragrance was very pleasant.
Jiang Ran glanced sideways and suddenly heard a voice coming from the alley next to him. The man said a little irritably: “I’ve told you so many times, don’t follow me.
Then a girl said: “Jiang Jin, do you really not like me?”
Jiang Ran paused for a moment. The alley was somewhat obscured by flowers, and the sky was dim, making it look very hidden.But where Jiang Ran stood, he happened to be able to clearly see the scene inside.
He saw Jiang Jin frowning and looking impatient.A girl in a miniskirt stood in front of him. She had long black hair, white skin, big eyes, and her legs under the skirt were thin and straight. She looked very beautiful.
“Jiang Jin, I don’t believe you have no feelings for me at all, otherwise why would you be so indifferent to others, except me.The girl held his wrist and said in a pleading tone: “You like me, don’t deny it.””
Jiang Jin laughed softly, pulled the girl’s hand away, and said harshly: “That’s because you are the only one who is the most annoying, do you understand?”
The girl was obviously stunned for a moment, her big eyes were filled with tears and became sparkling, but she still bit her lip and said: “I don’t believe it, if you didn’t like me, why did you lend me your clothes that day, and why did you help me get rid of that gangster?”
“You just care about me.”The girl emphasized.
Jiang Jin looked at her without saying anything, his eyes were very cold, and after a while, he suddenly burst out laughing, “So you blame me?I should just ignore you, turn around and leave, right?”
He bent slightly and came closer, staring at the girl and said: “Then I regret it now, do you want me to apologize to you?”
The girl looked at him aggrievedly for a long time, as if she didn’t expect him to say that, and there were tears in her eyes.
After a moment, she bit her lip and suddenly stood on tiptoes, wanting to kiss him.Jiang Jin frowned and turned his head to avoid the kiss. The annoyance on his face was almost overflowing.
“How many times have I told you that I don’t like you, do you have to be so persistent?”
“Then what do you like?I…I can change it.”The girl’s eyes were red and she said reluctantly.
“Really?”Jiang Jin stared at her for a while, then suddenly stretched out his hand and tugged her hair with his fingertips. He said in a low voice that sounded very sexy, “Actually, I prefer someone with a partner.”
“How’s it going?Jiang Jin smiled and said, “Would you like to consider finding a boyfriend and then come back to me?””
The girl’s eyes widened and her face turned red instantly.She was nagging and didn’t know what to say.
“What’s wrong?Don’t you think this is exciting?”Jiang Jin said with the corner of his mouth twitching.
The girl buried her head, tears almost falling from her eyes.
“But I still like people older than me. You are too immature and not my type.”Jiang Jin straightened up, his affection returned to his coldness, “I understand, don’t bother me again in the future.”
The girl finally sobbed and cried. She wiped away her tears, glanced at Jiang Jin hatefully, and ran away towards the other end of the alley.
Under the flying skirt, the girl’s figure looked panicked and sad.It wasn’t until her back completely disappeared that Jiang Jin turned towards Jiang Ran and said something coldly.
“Come out.”
Jiang Ran slowly moved out. It turned out that Jiang Jin had noticed him a long time ago, and he thought he had hidden it well.
Jiang Ran looked at him speechlessly. He felt that the current Jiang Jin was very different from the one he had in mind.
“Does it look good?”Jiang Jin said.
“I’m sorry.Jiang Ran lowered his eyes apologetically, “I didn’t mean to peek.””
Jiang Jin didn’t feel embarrassed at all by someone else, he even smiled slightly and said, “Didn’t you mean it?Haven’t you been following me since I left school?”
He narrowed his eyes and said sarcastically: “I didn’t expect you still have this habit.”
“Jiang Jin!”No matter how good-tempered Jiang Ran was, he still got angry at his words.
As if he didn’t expect him to have such an attitude, Jiang Jin smiled instead, and said with some satisfaction: “This is right, this is you. The hypocritical look before really made me sick to the point of vomiting.”
The color on Jiang Ran’s face suddenly faded away. At this moment, he finally realized with some sadness that no matter what he did, the two of them could not go back to the past.
“Xiao Jin, you were not like this before.”Jiang Ran said sadly: “You used to be very good, you would not be so rude, you would not be so bad to girls, and you would not fall in love in your senior year of high school, you…”
“What qualifications do you have to speak against me!Jiang Jin suddenly interrupted him rudely: “Who is it because of who I am like this now?”Don’t you know?”
“Besides, why can’t I fall in love?Don’t you talk about it yourself?He said sarcastically: “It’s a man we’re talking about.””
His tone was calm and not intense, but to Jiang Ran’s ears, it felt as if someone had dropped a bomb in his heart. With just a slight touch, it could blow him up completely.
He was not ashamed of his sexuality, and he didn’t think it was a big deal to fall in love with a man, but it still made him feel embarrassed to be said in such a mocking tone by his brother.
Jiang Ran’s expression was indescribably ugly. He stared straight at Jiang Jin and said word by word: “How do you know?”
“You were flirting with that man that day, and only a blind person wouldn’t be able to tell.Jiang Jin sneered, “And haven’t you seen your school’s forum?”You are quite famous in there.”
He leaned against the wall a little casually, playing with his mobile phone in one hand, “Many people are discussing you, do you want to know what they said?”
A malicious smile appeared on his face.
Jiang Ran stared at his smile, feeling an ominous premonition in his heart, but before he could speak.
Jiang Jin lowered his head and slid his long fingers on the screen a few times to open a web page.
“This is a post they opened just for you.” He raised the phone to Jiang Ran and looked at him with dark eyes, a hint of joking appearing in his eyes, “Take a good look and see what other people think of you.”
Jiang Ran subconsciously looked at the screen. The moment he saw it clearly, the color on his face instantly faded away. Overwhelming malice came towards him from all directions, like the sticky black mud in the sewer, which sticks to people’s bodies. It is smelly and dirty and cannot be shaken off.
Disgusting, gay, likes men.
With him looking like that, maybe some men really like him.
I wonder what it feels like to be like this?She must be very sexy in bed.
…
Occasionally there are one or two normal words mixed in with the obscenities that fill the screen, but they are too few and are not enough to offset the impact of these words.
Jiang Ran felt an uncomfortable feeling in his stomach, and he couldn’t help but cover his mouth and retched.
This reaction was a bit unexpected by Jiang Jin. He raised his eyebrows as if he saw something funny and couldn’t help laughing out loud, “You also feel disgusted?”
Jiang Ran stared at him and remained silent for a long time.
“There’s something even more interesting.He reached out and tapped the screen, pointed at the portrait of a European and American male model on it, and said softly: “This is the most exciting one.””
He raised his eyes, with a slightly sarcastic smile on his face, stared at Jiang Ran and said word by word: “That’s your boyfriend from the Department of Physical Education, named Li Song, right?”
Although he has such a delicate face, the words he speaks are like the whispers of a devil, full of malice.
