There was no familiar violin sound or Yiyi's classical singing. He just sat quietly on the recliner with his eyes closed, like a huge dark shadow.
Obviously there was a glass window above his head, and outside the glass window was the vast sky, filled with stars, the Milky Way and the Beidou, shining brightly - but, he felt that it was pitch black in front of him and he could not see anything. Only his hand, subconsciously pressing it on his chest, was miserable.
Starlight and moonlight illuminated the dull pain that I would never dare to confess.
Liang Xiaodong stood at the door for a long time before walking in.
"Brother, haven't you rested yet?"
He still had his eyes closed, and in the darkness, neither brother could see each other's expressions.
There was a long moment of silence, with both brothers leaning against the wall, Yi Xiangxi hanging his head and hugging his knees, and Liang Xiaodong looking up at the sky above the attic.
When he was very young, he read "The Cabin in the Forest" and envied the little girl's small attic in her home the most, because the attic contained a wealth of food: dried venison, bear meat, pheasant, pork...and all kinds of things.
Honey, butter, oil residue, vegetables... For a long time, his biggest ideal was to have a full meal of meat and eat it freely.
How old were you at that time? Six years old? Eight years old? Ten years old? Or twelve years old?
When did this wish come true? When was it the first time the eldest brother earned money by moving bricks on a construction site after school? When was the eldest brother winning the prize for first place in a design competition? He couldn't remember it anymore. He only remembered the moment he got it.
With the money, the eldest brother first bought three kilograms of braised pork. The two brothers placed them randomly on the floor, squatted on the ground together, and ate them all in one meal.
Later, when the eldest brother got a house, the first thing he did was to design a small attic in the house - to store abundant food -
Liang Xiaodong still remembers the first time he returned to China from abroad to visit relatives. His eldest brother picked him up at the airport. He couldn't hide his excitement and took him to this attic without any pause...wind chicken, dried fish, bacon, canned meat,
Preserved fruits, honey... everything that Liang Xiaodong longed for as a child is available in this room...
Liang Xiaodong will never forget the scream at that time - really, the teenager screamed like a child at that time, no matter the surprise: "Brother, are these all ours?"
This scene will never be forgotten!
After many years, of course there will no longer be so much food in the small attic. Now it has been replaced by violins, flutes, pianos... The space of sixty or seventy square meters has completely become a sea of musical instruments.
The two brothers sat in silence for a long time before Liang Xiaodong slowly spoke: "Brother, don't you like wheat very much?"
Yi Xiangxi did not answer.
"Brother..."
He sat up slowly: "Xiaodong, I told you that I won't interfere in your affairs."
Liang Xiaodong's eyes lit up and his voice became a bit more relaxed: "Brother, I'm really afraid that you don't like Wheat... You don't know, Wheat is very, very important to me. Apart from you, she is the most important thing to me in this world."
people..."
"You make your own decisions about your affairs. Women are all the same in my eyes. I can't tell whether they are good or bad."
Liang Xiaodong was relieved and suddenly stretched out his hand to hug his brother hard, "Brother, thank you so much. I like Xiaomai very much, and you are my only relative... If you don't like Xiaomai, I...I...I
