On the day of the appointment, Qiao Lijie couldn't stand the stalking of his second brother, so he went to the theater with him. Qiao Zhicai explained all the way that this movie is a story about a western cowboy, which is wonderful. patted his chest and packed the ticket, and asked Lijie to go to the Beijing Hotel to eat Western food.

Lijie doesn't have any problem with eating Western food, but he doesn't like Duan Qilin. So he followed the second brother like a stream. decided to be optimistic about him with his own efforts, and he must not let the second brother, a good young man, be hooked up by Duan Qilin.

When he met with Duan Qilin, Mr. Duan changed to a female companion. Qiao Zhicai saw that he was a playboy with a golden jade, and sighed that he was really a member of the same group as Jin Shijie.

At the end of the movie, the four of them took the Duanjia car together to the bustling Beijing Hotel.

Qiao Zhicai tried his best to ask to be the east, but Duan Qilin paid the bill. Duan Qilin said kindly: "Little brother, what are you polite to me?" If you let Master Qiao know that your brother is in for a treat. Don't you laugh at me Duan Mou for playing the autumn wind? ”

Although Qiao Zhicai was also very good at perfunctory communication, he was defeated in front of Duan Qilin somehow. "Brother Duan is too polite. If my father had found out, he would have said that I wouldn't do anything! "With the kung fu of this meal, Duan Qilin has become the eldest brother in his mouth. Qiao Zhicai has also changed from the rusty second master Qiao to the elder brother.

Qiao Lijie watched coldly, and couldn't stand them being so numb. Impatiently smoking on the side.

It just so happened that Jin Shijie also went to the Beijing Hotel for recreation at night, and when he saw Qiao Lijie, he jumped up and patted someone on the shoulder. hugged Qiao Lijie affectionately and smiled: "Wrongdoer! Are you here to eat and dance? How do you stand here and blow the wind? ”

Qiao Lijie was caught off guard and suffered a surprise attack by Jin Sishao. He pushed Jin Shijie aside in disgust. said: "You recognized the wrong person. Where is your enemy? ”

Jin Shijie was slightly drunk and was eager to try to go crazy. Following Qiao Lijie's gaze, he saw Qiao Zhicai and Duan Qilin. Squinting at the apricot kernel and licking her bright red lips. He went up again and pounced on Qiao Zhicai.

Qiao Zhicai smiled and talked to him for a long time, and Jin Shijie continued to dance and have fun. Qiao Zhicai saw that his younger brother was waiting on the side, and hurriedly made an excuse to get out.

That paragraph of Qilin and Jin Shijie pretended to have nothing to do with him as if he didn't know him. Qiao Zhicai is a ghost, so he won't say anything.

After Qiao Zhicai left, Jin Shijie's eyes rolled and glared at Duan Qilin. Duan Qilin understood, and the two entered the Beijing Hotel one after the other to find happiness again.

Qiao Zhicai was full of wine and food, and wandered the deserted streets with his younger brother under the dim street lamp. It's the mind that is empty and doesn't want anything.

Qiao Lijie was unhappy because the second brother and Jin Shijie were laughing affectionately just now. said: "Jin Laosi, this person eats, drinks, prostitutes, gambles, and has five drugs, what are you messing with him all day long?" ”

Qiao Zhicai was inexplicable, "The four of them are very good!" Why don't you look down on him anymore? ”

Qiao Lijie is full of wisdom, his eyes are dustless, and he looks like a big fool to everyone. Especially the second brother's group of friends, they are simply fighters among fools. Therefore, he disdained to answer and turned around and left.

Qiao Zhicai complained while chasing after his younger brother: "I didn't say it. Lijie, who can you see! With you being so picky, I don't think the prime minister's son is qualified to be friends with you. ”

Qiao Lijie walked faster and faster, and Qiao Zhicai's physical strength could not be compared with his younger brother, so he had to close his mouth panting and concentrate on catching up.

Qiao Lijie suddenly stopped, almost tripping his second brother. Lijie helped the second brother and said, "What are you doing with me?" Why don't you chase Jin Shijie. ”

He was angry for no reason, and Qiao Zhicai was even more confused. "Why am I looking for him so late?"

Qiao Lijie snorted coldly, grabbed the second brother's hand and walked quickly. "You dare to find it!"

Qiao Zhicai was funny and angry, and tolerated his brother's dog temper with a generous mind. Because Qiao Zhi is a weed in an arid area, not only does his grandmother not love his uncle. And often suffered from the old father's heavy rain and hail like the baptism of anger. He was already very touched if he was willing to care for him.

Leisurely days are always short-lived.

In the blink of an eye, Qiao Lijie is about to leave home thousands of miles to go to the United States for further study.

While the whole family was busy packing up for Qiao Lijie, Qiao Zhicai was nowhere to be found.

Qiao Lijie was very depressed, but he had always kept a straight face, and the people around him were accustomed to it, and they didn't even see it at all.

It wasn't until the day before he left that Qiao Zhi suddenly appeared with a cold air. And gave him a Parker gold pen.

Jo Lijie stroked the smooth, cold fountain pen. asked, "Second brother, this is very expensive!" Where did you get that? ”

"Don't worry! It's definitely the right way to go. Qiao Zhicai's eyes were red, and he reluctantly hugged his tall brother. Spend more time with Chinese students in a foreign country. You can't be like your hometown, and you can't go out to do learning. Otherwise, there will be no one to help you. ”

Qiao Lijie nodded, and suddenly became in a happy mood, the second brother who was full of emotions must have secretly cried for a long time alone. Hold this precious fountain pen in your hand. He only hated himself for not being able to express it. Let a thousand words choke in the throat and not be able to speak.

"You go to the docks, I won't see you off. Everybody's going to go anyway......" Qiao Zhicai chattered in his ear. "I also bought you a coat, British. is the most popular style. None of them were sold. People say it's called hunting...... You put it on and try it ......."

"Don't say it... Second brother! Qiao Lijie turned his back to his second brother and looked out the window at the garden, "I don't want to go to the United States." ”

Qiao Zhicai smiled: "Child's words! Tickets are all bought. ”

It's a child's word, but it's true.

Qiao Zhicai carefully looked at his younger brother's expression, "Then don't go, find a local middle school." With your knowledge, you can also be a teacher, teach students to read late, and marry a female gentleman as a wife. Have two or three children. Live in peace, just like Big Brother Allah. ”

Qiao Lijie laughed at what he said. He is indeed afraid of living a mediocre and straightforward life, and he will achieve nothing...... Qiao Zhicai is simply a worm in his stomach. You don't have to open your mouth, you can understand his thoughts in everything.

"That's it! I heard from the people of the foreign company that there is also a festival over there. At the end of the year, you must go back to Shanghai during the holiday. I'll wait for you to come back. Qiao Zhicai patted him on the shoulder, put down his clothes and hurriedly went out.

Qiao Lijie heard the sound of his sniffling and knew that the second brother must be about to shed tears again.

It's really uneasy!

Everything at a university in the U.S. is so new and dizzying.

Qiao Lijie always writes letters to his family in format...... The family said hello one by one. Make a detailed report on what you ate, what clothes you wore, and what classes you attended. Mom complained that he wrote like a report. Impersonal.

Specifically, there is no human smell.

No one knows, he wrote all the human flavor to the diary. Write about the second brother's thoughts and hometowns. Write about the fried fritters sold in Langtangkou, write about the lady who speaks Shanghainese like machine gun fire, and write about the beauty of the willow trees at home budding in spring. The one who writes the most is still the second brother.

wrote that the second brother's curly hair was too long, and his father took him to the barber at the corner of the street and shaved his head. Angry intellectuals went on hunger strike to protest against not going to school.

Writing that the winter in Shanghai was long and difficult, the second brother picked up old goods for sweet potatoes, and roasted sweet potatoes almost caught fire in the warehouse.

Write about the second brother's smile and smile, bit by bit. Those old days, as soon as he opened the diary, came to his eyes and heart.

The second brother who was jumping around refused to live in peace for a day, when he was homesick. When he couldn't help but buy a ticket to return home, he remembered a conversation before leaving.

"I'll wait for you to come back."

Qiao Lijie silently recited this sentence. It's like giving yourself a shot in the arm.

The second brother is waiting for me in Shanghai!

If you don't succeed in learning, how can you be embarrassed to go home to see your second brother.

Expectation is a fire...... It's a lamp.

American college students are full of youth and enthusiasm, and Qiao Lijie has inexplicably been warmly welcomed by American students. The female classmates who blatantly pursued, those courtship letters with fiery words, and those bold teasing at the banquet.

Old Tang explained to him with a smile. "Who made your professor like you so much! Professor Rodman, Reejay, is applying to keep you on campus. There is always a place for you in his laboratory. Besides, you are such a gentleman and handsome. ”

Qiao Lijie didn't think he was handsome. From childhood to adulthood, only the elders praised him for being smart and steady, and he will become a great weapon in the future. He never took these sycophants to heart, but just walked step by step towards the physics he was interested in.

"But these people are interrupting my studies." Qiao Lijie wiped his glasses and said helplessly. "I'm not a monkey to be visited!"

If the consequence of being handsome is to be harassed by these beastly foreigners, Qiao Lijie thinks that it is better not to be handsome.

I once watched a football game with Don Lao, and Tang took him to take a picture.

In the photo, Qiao Lijie is sitting in a suit, and his hair is meticulously combed with hair growth oil. His gaze was steady, looking ahead.

Later, the picture was found in Mrs. Joe's room.

Qiao Zhicai made an evaluation decently. Lijie didn't smile at all. Sitting so seriously...... The shot was not good at all. ”

Mrs. Joe was wholeheartedly admiring the heavenly talents of her most outstanding son, and when she heard this, she gave him a very impatient look. I almost lost my demeanor and scolded him.

Qiao Zhicai saw that his mother's face was wrong, and hurriedly made amends: "But Lijie looks the same as me after all." It's also personable. ”

Mrs. Qiao sighed secretly, looking at Qiao Zhicai's unorthodox swaying, and felt like she had bought a diamond and sent a watermelon by the way. said: "It's not good for you to get a job in a foreign bank after graduating from middle school. I know that I am shaking around all day long...... Look at your brother...... How many scholarships did the school give him. People who study still have money to earn. Look at yourself ......"

Qiao Zhicai didn't expect that looking at a photo could also provoke a fire. Hurriedly carried out a strategic retreat with a haha, nodded with a smile, and ran away with his feet raised.

Mrs. Qiao's mouth was dry and she drank a whole pot of herbal tea. Shouted upstairs. "Liger complained about why you didn't write to him. Second, hurry up and write a letter to him and send it to him. Don't let him worry about his family. ”

Qiao Zhicai was upstairs counting the goods and keeping accounts, and he didn't know that he had become a money-losing goods in his mother's heart. He promised from afar, didn't take it to heart, turned his head and forgot about it.

It was breakfast time, and he sat downstairs in a simple and old café downstairs in his dormitory, flipping through his research report. A dark-haired British classmate on the opposite side helped him add a piece of candy. Qiao Lijie used to like to drink black coffee, but after years away from home, he seems to have mastered a little communication skills. I won't scold others directly.

Putting back his unhappiness, he nodded his head and thanked him nodly. And try to elicit the topic . "Jason, I heard that Ling Zun is interested in investing in the professor's nuclear physics laboratory."

The black-haired boy who was sitting upright immediately smiled and said, "Of course, my father said that nuclear physics research is the most forward-looking and practical research topic in the future. Lijie: Your choice of research direction must be correct. ”

Qiao Lijie didn't care, "But the physical research time is long and the results are slow...... It is not in line with the purpose of capital profit-seeking. Moreover, I personally believe that the greatest research in physics should be at the service of all mankind. I am not in favor of patenting. He lifted his glasses. For a great scientist like Marie Curie, contributing research results is the best gift to the world. ”

Jason seems to have gotten used to his arguments of serving humanity, as well as Joliger's haughty posture. He was not angry about this, and nodded obediently. "Yes, my father is different from ordinary merchants. He was indeed solely committed to the advancement of physics. And nothing else. ”

Qiao Lijie smiled a little because of these words. "Ling Zun's sentiment is really admirable."

The two talked for a while, and Qiao Lijie lowered his head to sort out his research notes. Jason also silently reads one

Interesting novel. Qiao Lijie thinks that Jason is very quiet and interesting, and he is barely a qualified friend.

And the young British Jason from time to time from behind the thick book let out an admiring and tentative gaze. Qiao Lijie turned a blind eye at all, and couldn't help but be quite disappointed.

After paying the bill, Jo and Jason walked to the school together. Winters in Boston are much colder than in Shanghai. Qiao Lijie wrapped his coat tightly and still felt that the wind was leaking on all sides. Jason was dressed thinner than he was, and his cheeks were red from the cold. He also insisted on walking ahead of him to block the wind.

Jo Lijie held his hat and tried to tell him that it didn't have to be like this. I saw the little red behind Jason's ears. He pressed the young man's shoulder and looked closely. Sure enough, that cinnabar mole was hidden in the curly black hair, in a place that no one could see. Like a beautiful ruby.

"What's the matter? Jason stopped in surprise.

Qiao Lijie saw Qiao Zhicai in a trance and turned around to ask him.

Yes!

Qiao Lijie suddenly realized.

I finally remembered why I chose Jason as my friend.

This emaciated figure, curled black hair, slender neck, and warm gaze are all too familiar.

It's Qiao Zhicai.

It's his second brother.

Suddenly his thoughts became uncontrollable, causing his eyes to moisten. He pushed down his glasses in disguise. "Nothing. Jason, can I hug you? ”

The young Englishman was stunned by the good fortune that fell from the sky. It took a long time to hold back a sentence. "But... Yes..."

Qiao Lijie took his whole person into his arms. The chin rests against the shoulders and the chest against the chest. Feel the frantic beating of the hearts of youth.

"Second brother!"

Qiao Zhicai had a small mole behind his ear, red, very small, cinnabar mole.

No one knows, and Mom doesn't know, except for Qiao Lijie. Qiao Lijie firmly believes that this is an ambush set up by the creator to distinguish himself from his second brother. If this mole suddenly disappears one day, no one will be able to distinguish between themselves and their talents. How terrible that is.

The young Qiao Lijie paid attention to Qiao Zhicai with the energy of scientific research, and wanted to control the naughty second brother.

However, Qiao Zhicai was naturally active and couldn't understand his brother's hard work. Not only did he sarcastically mock him, but he was also like a wild cat in heat. As soon as you are hooked up, you can easily leave home. I don't know where to find happiness.

Qiao Lijie was annoyed.

thinks Qiao Zhi is a bastard.

Qiao Zhicai was also full of resentment.

Think Jo Lijie is a freak.

This pair of siblings not only have very different personalities, but also speak and act completely differently. Qiao Lijie is full of logic, and Qiao Zhicai is full of fallacies.

Not only Qiao Lijie thinks so himself, but even the servants who cook next to him and the long-tongued woman in the alley think so.

"Second brother, you're really annoying!" The young Qiao Lijie hugged the hot and fragrant second brother to sleep. While complaining in distraught.

Qiao Zhicai's tirade was interrupted by his younger brother, but he was not angry. The long snake rolled around in the bed for a while, and put a long leg on Lijie's waist. He said with a grin: "The heating at home is broken." I slept alone so cold. Let's squeeze in and get warmer. ”

Qiao's heating is completely a decoration. Therefore, Qiao Lijie was noncommittal to his words. Secretly roll your eyes. For the sake of the second brother covering him with a quilt in the middle of the night, be patient for the time being.

It was a night as cold as an ice cellar, and he saw that little bit of red.

To be exact, the next morning, Qiao Lijie and his second brother squeezed out a hot sweat, feeling like hugging a hot small stove. He opened his eyes in a daze, and the rising sun shone a little light into the bedroom.

The white gauze curtain was transparent by the sun, and that ray of light shone on Qiao Zhicai's curled hair, shining on his fresh face.

Qiao Lijie was a little behind the ears of Zhicai

The red thorn couldn't open his eyes. It was red, like a drop of blood. With the bitter cold wind outside the window, the steaming morning of his body was deep in his mind.

I'll never forget it again.

Joeje is not sociable, or rather he often feels like an outlier. He was not interested in everything that his peers were passionate about...... He often wondered how Qiao Zhicai's excellent genetics could make a series of unbelievable and mentally retarded behaviors......

However, the second brother is also very good sometimes, he can talk and make trouble, and he can attract everyone with his cheeky skin and three-inch tongue. He seems to be the only channel for Qiao Zhicai to connect with the earthly world. Through his window, Qiao Lijie can see clearly how to express his feelings and how his parents and relatives should get along.

Jollige knew very well that God had opened a bright path to science for him. At the same time, it also closed the door of his heart and blocked the path to his feelings.

Twin.

Double!

With a completely different fate.

"It was Lijie who took my nutrition away from my mother's belly! That's why I'm so stupid! Qiao Zhicai triumphantly showed off the new information he had learned. That's what doctors say. ”

Qiao Lijie looked coldly at the second brother pretending to be stupid. "We are twin brothers, how can we be so different. Second brother, you're not stupid, but you just don't want to learn. If the second brother can use the energy of chasing female students on the right path. Something will definitely be accomplished. ”

When my mother heard this, she was really anxious, and she carried Qiao Zhicai's ear to her face. "I said how old you are, second child. I'm going to chase the schoolgirl. You are like your eldest brother and third brother, and you honestly let me save some money. ”

Qiao Zhicai's mouth was stacked and promised. While grinning with his teeth, he gestured to Qiao Lijie by killing chickens and wiping his neck.

Qiao Lijie was secretly amused. However, the face of the eight winds did not move. Forget all the threats of his second brother. thinks that although the second brother's behavior is childish, it can be called cute.
