In the first year of high school, it was Lin Xu's secret.
Pretending to meet by chance in the cafeteria, walking side by side on the way to school, being knocked on the door by his younger brother in the middle of the night saying he had a stomachache - he pretended to be impatient, but secretly cherished these ordinary everyday things.
He thought it could always be like this. Don't tell me anything, don't be far or near, and be a good brother for the rest of your life.
That summer vacation came too suddenly. Parents divorce, brothers separate. On the day they left, Lin Qi didn't even look back. He didn't know how long his brother stood behind him.
Reunion three years later.
Lin Xu smiled at him—the kind of perfect yet distant smile that he would show to everyone.
It was the first time that Lin Qi saw his brother smiling like this at him.
He suddenly remembered something: his previous brother never smiled at him.
In the past, my brother would only frown, say "pay attention", ride an electric bike out in the middle of the night to buy medicine for him, and then hand over the medicine bag with a cold face.
Where did that person go?
He stared at the perfect smile on Lin Xu's face, and an indescribable emotion suddenly surged in his heart.
He didn't like the smile.
He wanted to get his tough-talking, soft-hearted brother back.
Intention: My favorite bamboo horse, I have a secret love in the new year
