Cheng Si fell asleep in the carriage without realizing it. When he woke up again, he was awakened by the noise of his classmates returning. The carriage suddenly became lively. A person sat down next to him. It was Xin Yisong, a very handsome boy in the class. Just as Cheng Si was about to change his seat, the person looked at Cheng Si with a wronged expression.

"Where are you going, brother? Are you disgusted with me?"

Cheng Si staggered and had to continue sitting. In fact, he wanted to leave and sit next to anyone. This person was much more noisy than Lin Zhi. But he really couldn't just leave like this. He pretended to be calm and said, "No."

"Xin Yisong, why are you sitting there? Why don't you sit with me?" someone in the back row shouted.

Xin Yisong waved his hand, "Wait a moment."

Xin Yisong ignored the man and continued to look at Cheng Si.

Cheng Si felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by him and asked in confusion, "Is there something on my face?" Cheng Si had no recollection of having had much contact with this classmate and didn't know why he was sitting next to him at this moment.

Xin Yisong shook his head and said seriously, "The teacher asked me to teach you how to write. I was afraid that you would be embarrassed to come to me, so I came to find you myself." Then he took out his mobile phone and said, "Add me as a friend first. I will send you some information tonight."

Although Cheng Si was surprised that the teacher didn't tell him, he still added the teacher as a friend and thanked him.

The man nodded, stood up and went to the back row.

Time passed quickly on the way back. Before getting off the car, Cheng Silin saw that Lin Zhi had woken up and asked him if he wanted to go home first. Lin Zhi shook his head and cleared his throat, "I'll wait for you to go back together."

Cheng Si was puzzled because Lin Zhi's home was in the opposite direction of his own.

Lin Zhi was quiet for a while, "I'm going to stay at my grandma's house today."

After arriving at school, he caught up with the afternoon class meeting. During the meeting, Lin Zhi was lying on the table. Ding Ke called him, but he did not respond and continued to lie there.

"Teacher, Lin Zhi got caught in the rain and is feeling a little uncomfortable now." Cheng Si spoke for Lin Zhi.

Ding Ke's expression eased, "He doesn't have a fever, Cheng Si, accompany him to the infirmary. The exam is coming up and your health cannot be affected." After that, he instructed the classmates, "Everyone of you, don't be greedy for coolness recently, don't catch a cold!"

Cheng Si took Lin Zhi out of the classroom, but Lin Zhi didn't want to go to the infirmary. He asked Cheng Si, "Can you accompany me to my grandma's house?"

Seeing that he was in good condition, Cheng Si did not force him to go to the infirmary and said okay.

The two took the bus to Lin Zhi's grandmother's home. The community was not far from their school. It took them more than ten minutes to reach the gate of the community. It was an old community with a good environment. There were many trees and potted plants. The green plants were very fresh after the rain.

After entering an apartment building, the two climbed two floors and arrived at Lin Zhi's grandmother's house. Lin Zhi hesitated at the door for a while, then turned to ask Cheng Si, "Do I look okay?"

Cheng Si observed for a moment and said honestly, "My eyes are a little swollen."

Lin Zhi uttered an "ah" and was a little at a loss, "What should I do? My grandma has very good eyesight."

Cheng thought for a moment, coughed, and felt like he was teaching someone to do something bad. “Just say that you study late at night and stay up late reading books.”

Lin Zhi gave Cheng Si a thumbs up, took a deep breath, and rang the doorbell. "Grandma, please open the door. Your precious grandson is here to see you," Lin Zhi shouted in a loud voice, and became the energetic big boy again.

After waiting for a while, the door opened. An old lady with silver hair opened the door with a smile on her face. "Oh, Linlin, how come you have time to come and see me today?" Then she walked forward and hugged her grandson.

Lin Zhi lowered his head and hugged her back, with a pleasing smile on his face, "Grandma, I miss you."

The old lady opened her eyes a little and looked at Lin Zhi's face.

"Who bullied him? Look at his swollen eyes."

"I wasn't bullied by anyone. I was writing at night and stayed up late."

“You’re working so hard now.”

"you do not say!"

The old lady smiled and only then noticed Cheng Si next to her. Lin Zhi quickly introduced her, "This is my deskmate Cheng Si."

Cheng Si also greeted the old lady.

The old lady smiled and said, "This child looks smart."

Lin Zhi listened, nodded in agreement, and then asked, "Do I look unintelligent?"

"You look like a mischievous person." He asked the two to come in quickly.

Cheng Si was a little touched by the conversation between the two. He thought of his grandmother, who passed away when he was a senior in high school in his previous life. Because of his busy studies and the long distance between them, his parents did not allow him to visit the elderly often.

Later, his parents kept the fact that his grandmother was ill a secret from him. When they found out about it, the notice of her critical illness came out. Cheng Si was called out of the classroom by the teacher. He was so shocked by the news that he ran to the hospital immediately.

He only saw the old lady once. Before she died, Cheng Si sat in front of her bed, holding one of her hands. The hand looked withered and cold. Her face, which used to be rosy, was now gray. Cheng Si lowered her head in silence, tears streaming down her face without her noticing.

The old woman raised her other hand stiffly. Cheng Si moved closer and asked her, "Grandma, what do you want?" Her voice was choked and trembling.

The old woman didn't say anything but just wiped his face. After a while, she spoke in a hoarse and low voice, "Don't cry. This is a good thing. Grandma can go to accompany your grandpa. I'm so happy."

Cheng Si nodded, turned around and wiped her tears. When she looked back, she had calmed down a little and whispered, "Then you can say hello to grandpa for me. If you miss me, please send me a dream, okay?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, silly child?" The old man looked at his grandson with heartache in his eyes.

"It's not nonsense," Cheng Si looked at her seriously.

The old man's eyes also became moist, and he replied, "OK."

Due to physical reasons, the old man got tired quickly. Before going to bed, he held his grandson's hand and said, "Doudou, don't blame your parents, okay?"

Cheng Si was silent for a while, then said "OK". That night, the old man had another severe attack and could not be saved in the operating room.

Doudou was the nickname given to Cheng Si by his grandparents. Only those two old people would call him that. Now both of them are gone, and the word "Doudou" feels like a farewell forever. In this vast world, all the people who called him Doudou are gone, and "Doudou" has nothing to do with him anymore.

"Cheng Si, what's wrong with you?" Lin Zhi looked at Cheng Si's sad expression and asked with concern.

Cheng Si came back to his thoughts, a little dry, "I think of my grandma"

"I'm sorry, what about your grandma..." Lin Zhi said cautiously. Seeing Cheng Si so sad, he was afraid of saying something wrong, so he kept silent.

Cheng Si adjusted his mood and said, "She lives in Lingshui Town now."

"Oh, so if you miss her, you can go back to see her." Lin Zhi finally relaxed. Looking at Cheng Si's expression just now, he thought, bah bah bah, stop thinking too much.

Cheng Si was silent for a long time, and repeated in a low voice, "Yes, I can still go see her." Cheng Si looked at Lin Zhi and said thank you.

Lin Zhi was a little confused and smiled embarrassedly, "What's there to thank me for? I still want to thank you today."

"Two little kids, what would you like to eat for dinner?" asked the old lady in the kitchen.

Cheng Si and Lin Zhi walked into the kitchen, took a look, and ordered some home-cooked dishes.

The two wanted to stay and help, but were driven out by the old lady. "My little ancestors, just take a rest. The kitchen is small and you are in the way. There is nothing to do. Go out and play for a while."

The two were ruthlessly driven out, looking at each other, and couldn't help laughing. Lin Zhi thought for a while and asked,

"So what are we going to do now?"

"I suddenly remembered something," Cheng Si said with a headache.

"What's going on?"

"We didn't bring homework today."

“Oh, you can write it after you return to school.”

Cheng Si was silent for a while. "It was sent to the class group. Morning reading needs to be checked." After thinking for a while, he added, "If you are found to have not written it, the teacher said you should stand under the national flag and write it."

"Fuck, I need to pick up the homework later." Lin Zhi looked at his phone and realized that it was already six o'clock. The school closes at 6:30 on Fridays, so it would be difficult to get there now.

Cheng Si was helpless and said, "It's too late."

"..." Cheng Si

"..." Lin Zhi

The two of them were silent for a long time, and then they said in unison, "Climb over the wall!"
