can't stop

Before March is over, the sun is as poisonous as summer on the small island near the Tropic of Cancer.Huo Ying leaned against the side of the railing of the pier, staring at the calm blue sea, and pulled up the high collar again, trying to cover more of his delicate skin that was prone to rashes when exposed to the sun, then he looked down at his watch again .

At two o'clock in the afternoon, he came to pick up someone, but there was still half an hour before the agreed time.It's too early, he thought, why are you so excited?It's just that an old classmate wants to send a child to live for three months. It is said that he just turned 19 two days ago. He has a bad temper and was ordered to drop out of school for beating people and getting into trouble.

As for the main responsibility entrusted to Huo Ying, it is to provide board and lodging, to act as a close brother to chat with him when necessary, and to teach him some basic life skills such as washing and cooking.

On the phone, Qiu Shili could be said to have been exhorting and exhorting, constantly emphasizing how this child in his family is infinitely hardworking, does not eat much and brings his own food expenses, and can definitely help Huo Ying with a lot of work. In short, apart from being irritable every day Other than that, there are no shortcomings. After the transformation, the absolute devil becomes an angel. He is sincere and sincere, as if he is afraid that Huo Ying will refuse.

And Huo Ying just asked: "Is it equivalent to a deformation meter?"

Qiu Shili said repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's right! Xiaoying is wise!"

Suddenly being called a shameful title that he hated when he was in college, Huo Yingxin said that you Japanese are really not too nasty, but thought it was really funny: "No way, it's really a TV show, and you're 19 years old , You have already formed yourself, why do you have to let people change their personality? You didn't fight when you were nineteen?"

Qiu Shili didn't take it seriously: "What about after the age of 19? Xiaoying, you have to help him grow from a boy to a man.

Huo Ying heard the familiar relaxed tone, but couldn't remember that relaxed look at all. He could forget a face in 3 minutes, not to mention it had been three years since we last met, and he didn't even know what job Qiu Shili was doing.But the friendship with the old classmate is still there, and he also feels that he has the energy and the need to help, so he said: "Okay, is he willing to come by himself? Don't hate me then."

Qiu Shili laughed loudly: "Of course he is willing. Even if there is no boat, he can swim there by himself."

These words always sound a bit meaningful, just like at this moment, Huo Ying always has a bad premonition when he thinks back, what will happen in the next three months, he can't figure it out even after thinking about it.

Thinking too much, I guess there is no big problem, and he explained to himself, just a few roommates, as long as it doesn't delay my work.

The whistle sounded, and the fine waves broke through. This group of passenger ships had already left the port. The ticket in Huo Ying's hand started to board the cabin in 10 minutes. He received a message that Qiu Shili had got off the plane and was rushing to the ferry news, I felt a little more relaxed, and opened Wangxin to handle the business.

He has actually helped farmers on the island open online stores and sold seafood and bananas for three years.

"Darling, it's not easy to deliver goods from Kojima, we don't offer free shipping ^-^" he replied blankly.

"I'm sorry kiss, I took pictures before fourteen o'clock for the same day's delivery, and now the time has passed ^-^" He continued to process more than a dozen unread items.

The one who was rejected by him for free shipping just now didn't give up, so he started to fight, "I'm a student party", and "Why is your product so much more expensive than others", one brother at a time It's very sweet.Huo Ying felt a chill in his heart. He said to himself, why would you buy lobster and abalone if you pretend to be poor? Seeing the series of emojis and typos that popped up, he finally clicked the black button.

Damn it... Today Huo Ying still really wants to quit.

Seeing that another 10 minutes passed, there were people coming and going at the pier, most of whom were going to travel to the island. Huo Ying didn't know anyone, anyway, even if he did, he couldn't tell.He was about to walk to the other side of the pier to take a look far away, to see if he could see the island where he lived, when he suddenly heard someone calling him from behind: "Xiaoying!"

Huo Ying turned his head and saw a taxi driving away slowly, leaving three people behind him, quite conspicuous among the tourists.A guy in a wheelchair wearing a Hawaiian flower shirt, but with meticulously combed hair is smiling at him. I haven't heard that Qiu Shili was injured gloriously before. Exclude; there is also a silver-haired boy with a surprised expression, staring at him without blinking. He was ferocious, but too young, and looked half a head taller than Huo Ying himself. It was impossible for Qiu Shili to be 30 years old and still grow tall, and that was also ruled out.

Then, there is only the last one left, he is pushing the wheelchair, and the wheelchair brother wears a large shirt that looks like a macaw, with a baby face smiling brightly: "Hey, don't you know me again?"

Huo Ying breathed a sigh of relief, and walked forward, "Yes, Squad Leader Qiu." He was too lazy to talk nonsense with Qiu Shili, and nodded at the other two, "Hello, my surname is Huo, let's line up quickly, the boat is about to leave."

The wheelchair brother still had that smile on his face, said thank you in a low voice, and shook hands with him.This man was very pale and ill, but he was younger than Huo Ying imagined. Apart from his sick appearance, he could be called handsome and a typical Mr. Pianpian.Huo Ying understood who he was.When he was in college, he had repeatedly heard Qiu Shili mention his eldest brother who was the strongest in the universe. If I remember correctly, there was no such thing as a wheelchair back then.The exaggeration is that almost every day in the dormitory, I can hear them calling through the time difference. The man asked Qiu Shili how his study was, how the food was, and what he wanted to buy, just like a father.

Because of this, the three roommates at that time all knew that the class monitor and his elder brother had a very good relationship. Qiu Shili grew up in Japan when he was young, and he was a little bit Japanese. When you get up, you have to report the score of the football game, and everyone's ears can hear the cocoon.It can only be said that Big Squad Leader Qiu is a weirdo. Everyone spends the night on the phone with his girlfriend, but he is different. He talks to his elder brother, and he still has the money to make international long-distance calls willfully.

In just a few seconds, recalling this, Huo Ying felt a bitterness in his heart.Although he only went to college for one year, he dropped out of school and drove to drive, but in that short year, he was so devastated that he didn't even have a phone call. sleep.

Indeed, who would want to have a close friendship with someone who can't remember what they look like?During the military training, he was rumored to be a grassroots, and a girl confessed to him at the camp closing party, but after getting to know each other, the tragedy in high school repeated itself, let alone a girlfriend, he basically didn't even have any friends.Qiu Shili is an exception, but Qiu Shili is good with everyone, and he is not very close to him.

This may be destiny.Huo Ying had a charming face, but because he couldn't recognize other people's faces, this face became a display.After all, no one is special in Huo Ying's eyes. Through the pupils and projected into the cerebral cortex, they become the same.Huo Ying rarely explained, because the words "I am face-blind" sounded too funny and perfunctory, so he spent his 17-year-old life on the university campus in boredom. This was true for 17 years, and even more so for the next ten years, until now.

"Xiaoying?" Hearing someone calling him, Huo Yingcai came back to his senses suddenly, and he had already started queuing up. As the host, he was still so distracted, and he looked at Shangqiu Shili's energetic eyes apologetically. "This is my elder brother, you must have guessed it," Qiu Shili smiled, and patted the shoulder of the silver-haired boy beside him, "This is my younger brother, I will leave it to you from today onwards. The two of us will be on vacation, in two days just go."

"Haha, hello, I'm eight years older than you, and I don't know if there will be a generation gap." Huo Ying put away his gaffe and smiled. He wanted to pat him on the shoulder like Qiu Shili to show friendship, but was immediately avoided.

Huo Ying was stunned for a moment, thinking that you are pulling the luggage of three people and hiding from me so lightly, you are awesome enough, I will ask you to pack bananas for me in two days, and you want to help him carry the bananas. The box was dodged again.

Turning his face around, he could be identified through his clothes. Qiu Shili did not know what kind of tricks he had used with the passing staff, but he had already pushed his elder brother, bypassed the queue, and boarded the ship ahead of schedule under the leadership of the waiter.

"We have to stand in line for a while. It won't be hot in the boat." Huo Ying said awkwardly.

The young man nodded, just stood there sleepily, squinting at him, it was hard to tell what kind of expression it was, there was strangeness, doubts, and a piece of frozen ice, trembling, reflecting the sea The color is still Huo Ying's face.

Did I provoke him so quickly?Huo Ying silently recalled his rebellious period, or has a generation gap formed?He really has no experience with people younger than himself. To be precise, he lacks the experience of getting along with people face to face. At this moment, when he looks at those eyes, he always feels that if they are not black, what color are they?Unable to speak.

Huo Ying wiped his sweat, thinking that it's not enough, the relational face blindness just can't remember, and now it has deteriorated to the point where you can't even see clearly?

"Don't get seasick." He had nothing to say.

"I don't know," the young man was still staring at him, and finally opened his mouth. He cleared his throat and spoke honestly, "I have never been on a boat, nor have I been back to China."

Returned overseas Chinese?He can speak Chinese so well, what is the origin of Qiu Shili's family?But Huo Ying felt that he couldn't ask too many young people, and he seemed broken-mouthed, so he said: "I brought a box of oranges, if you get dizzy later, eat some, it will help."

The boy suddenly smiled, "You like oranges very much? And orange juice." He gestured.

Huo Ying was afraid that he would be dispersed by the flow of people later, so he had already remembered his voice, but he couldn't understand the logic. There were about ten people left in the front line. He raised his face and looked at this young man carefully again. .A shirt-shaped thin coat with a gray leopard print and a narrow black vest inside, a style I would never try.Take a closer look, this kid is paler than his elder brother, tall and thin, with a kind of ignorant and sharp beauty—maybe it is not appropriate to describe a young boy as beautiful, but he is indeed beautiful when he smiles .

However, what catches Huo Ying's eyes even more than this aesthetic feeling is that it is absolutely true that he is of mixed race, with more obvious Asian features.Huo Ying can still judge this point after years of persistent research on human faces, but it is difficult for him to calm down when he thinks of the mixed race.

"Just now I said my surname is Huo," he warned himself that the world is not that small, don't think too much, and smiled, "This surname is a bit of a mouthful, Huo Ying, just call me Huo Ying. What should I call you? Xiaoqiu Can you see it?"

The boy's smiling eyes drooped suddenly, showing confusion and indifference again, "My surname is not Qiu." He stared at Huo Ying for a few seconds, thoughtfully, and boarded the boat with big bags and small bags, in other words , It's the kind of rushing, ignoring the ticket inspector.

Huo Ying always felt that he had done something bad, and was suspicious. The look in his eyes just now meant that he was about to be beaten.With an inexplicable sense of guilt in his heart, he repeated in his heart "is it silver or not red", and he quickly chased after him, and the little girl who was in a hurry to replenish the tickets in his hand followed behind the boy, "Then what is your last name? What do you call three months?"

The boy ignored him, and didn't intend to look for his two brothers at all. He took a ticket from him and sat on the chair by the corridor according to the number.The one next to him by the window is the seat reserved for Huo Ying.The space for the second-class ticket was small, so he raised his leg uncomfortably, and looked at Huo Ying seriously: "You forgot, I didn't expect it."

forget?what forgot?Some kind of intuition rushed back and forth in his heart, Huo Ying subconsciously refused to accept it, and was squeezed enough by the passing passengers behind him, he stared at the guy on the chair who made it clear that he was going to stop him, and said: "Let me in first .”

The boy really moved his legs to make room for him, raised his eyebrows and asked him, "Did you not recognize Qiu Shili at first?"

Huo Ying squeezed in with all his heart, half of his legs were almost stuck when he stepped in, and he said angrily, "I'm face-blind, I can't recognize anyone!"

As soon as the words fell, he couldn't move. The boy in front of him suddenly moved back a long leg, as if he was sandwiching Huo Ying, "Are you serious?" His eyes lit up.

Huo Ying was already sweating, and supported his forehead and said: "I think it's a joke, but I'm serious..." He said in his heart again, saying that it was a mistake, everyone thinks you have a brain problem, or thinks you There are many lies.He didn't want to see what kind of playful smile this weird boy would show, but he was suddenly held down by his shoulders—the boy actually lifted his neck hard and pressed it against his face.

He had long arms and great strength. Huo Ying staggered unprepared and almost jumped on him. Anyway, he hit his head, and the lunch box and water bottle in the backpack collided with each other.Even at this moment, the boy was still pinching the back of his neck to keep him from moving, their foreheads were pressed against each other, Huo Ying's heart was beating like a drum, his eyes were full of stars, and he was determined to get to his seat even if he was rolling and crawling, but he saw that the boy was very happy Laughing loudly, all the gloom just now dissipated, and he let go of his confining hand, leaned back in the chair and looked at him softly and expectantly, and said word by word, "My surname is Shi, time is Shi. I want to You, call me Xiaofeng."

At that moment, the rest of the passengers had already taken their seats, and the children were tied up in seat belts by their parents, crying, screaming, and laughing, and the whistle was about to sound with all its strength.Only Huo Ying couldn't make any sound, and even forgot to move, bent over stiffly, with his hands propped on the back of the chair, his breathing became short of breath, burning hot, disorganized, his eye sockets were burning and painful, as if he was about to cry .

In front of him, the sunlight from the sea splashed through the porthole, illuminating a pair of dark eyes that were as clear as emeralds. Those eyes were smiling, just like their young masters, as if they were ignorant and innocent, pretending to be innocent. he.
