Backtracking boat

Shen Mo took the phone and saw two large characters "Ren Hong" flashing on the screen—his junior high school classmate, high school classmate, university bedmate, and his long-standing buddy.

He went to the balcony and answered the phone: "Hello", no one answered, took the phone away from his ear, didn't he hang up?Two more feeds, and finally Ren Hong's wilting voice came from inside:

"What are you doing?"

"Here's a friend, I just finished eating, how about you?"

The strange silence on the phone started again, and Shen Mo was a little uneasy: "What's wrong with you, what happened?"

keep silent...

Shen Mo couldn't bear his temper, and his voice became louder: "Say it quickly, people are scary."

Ren Hong breathed a sigh of relief on the other end of the phone, and said like a cannonball: "I don't have anything to do, I'm just too boring, you shouldn't be on a business trip recently, then I will go to you and stay for a few days, and you don't have to wait for me when the day comes, remember to take your Just put the house key on the mat at the door, so bye." After the voice fell, the phone hung up without waiting for Shen Mo to answer.What does this mean?Shen Mo inexplicably called back, but no one answered.Forget it, anyway, people will arrive the day after tomorrow, let's meet and ask.

Early the next morning, before six o'clock, Shen Mo was woken up by his uncle cat stepping on his face.Shen Mo's sleep quality has always been poor. When he woke up, he tossed and turned and couldn't fall asleep. After rolling around a few times, he turned his head and saw that the uncle was curled up at his feet, and he was sound asleep when he returned to the cage. It was unreasonable.Shen Mo kicked Tangyuan maliciously to wake him up, and Tangyuan fell asleep again after five seconds without joy...

I really want to throw this fat man out!

There is no need to go to work overtime today, and a beautiful weekend must be worshiped with sleep.Shen Mo turned over, planning to die on the bed.When he was finally squinting, he suddenly heard the voice of WeChat, touched the phone and saw that it was Xiao Yi: "If there is no arrangement in the morning, let's go buy fish together, I want to eat eel pot..."

Yesterday I just talked with Lin Yiqi about partnering up, and today I actually practiced it? !Shen Mo wanted to say that it was not good to serve you with unique tastes, but the typed text became: "Okay, see you downstairs at ten o'clock (*￣)￣)" is simply a model of integrity.

As a result, I couldn't fall asleep anymore, so I simply got up and took a shower, found the kitchen utensils, and retrieved the materials that needed to be supplemented.At five minutes to ten o'clock, Shen Mo went downstairs, and Xiao Yi was already waiting at the entrance of the building. He was wearing a thin dark blue cotton coat and a plaid scarf casually, looking refreshed.Seeing Shen Mo walking in front of him, he touched Shen Mo's neck with his hands: "Why don't you know how to wear a scarf?" Shen Mo pulled the zipper of the down jacket to his chin with one hand, retracted his neck and only exposed half of his face, a pair of shiny Staring at Xiao Yi with smiling eyes: "No need, and it's not far away, so it's okay?" Xiao Yi said helplessly, "Okay, let's go."

The two wandered to the vegetable market as if they were taking a walk. There were very few people buying vegetables at this time, and the vegetable farmers were half-slumped and chatting like fresh vegetables.Shen Mo dragged Xiao Yi around for a while, he didn't sell eels in a daze, he might as well go to the supermarket to try his luck if he knew earlier.Shen Mo looked at Xiao Yi: "Would you like to go to another place to have a look?" Xiao Yi shook his head: "Forget it, it's cold, I'm too lazy to run, let's talk about it next time." After saying that, he pushed Shen Mo away from the vegetable market.

Passing by a small convenience store on the way back to the community, Xiao Yi said that he was going to buy a box of mints. Shen Mo said, "I don't see what kind of candy you buy for smoking." He followed Xiao Yi into the door.

The shelf selling mints and chewing gum is right next to the checkout counter. Xiao Yi randomly picked out a brand and took out his wallet to pay. Shen Mo was idly waiting for the checkout. When Xiao Yi stuffed the change back into his wallet, he suddenly let out a "huh" , took out two tickets from the interlayer, and Shen Mo leaned over to see that they were two movie tickets.Xiao Yi held up the coupon with a look of surprise on his face: "I still have two tickets, and I forgot about them."

--- "Where did it come from?"

--- "It was issued by the company's trade union."

Xiao Yi looked at the date on the ticket: "It will expire next week..."

Shen Mo didn't know what to say, the two stood at the door of the small shop and looked at each other.After waiting for a while, I heard Xiao Yi say: "Why don't we use this ticket, I don't have time to use it on weekdays."

Shen Mo hesitated: "We two..."

--- "Didn't you have no plans for today?"

---"No, I think..."

--- "It's okay, I don't need this ticket anyway, if you don't want to go with me, you can take it and invite other friends to go with you."

Shen Mo heard Xiao Yi's seemingly meaningless accent on the word "other friends", and he couldn't laugh or cry: "There are no other friends, let's go, whoever catches up with it counts."

After standing in front of the big screen at Jinyi Cinema on the top floor of the shopping mall, Shen Mo realized that film selection was also a problem.

Romance?It's too embarrassing to refuse.

Comedy?Looking at Xiao Yi's expression, he seemed not interested.

Shootout?Shen Mo is afraid of blood.

In the end, Xiao Yi pointed to a recently highly rated cartoon "Coco": "That's it."

Shen Mo held the exchanged ticket stub in a daze, but Xiao Yi couldn't hide his happiness, and even lightly touched Shen Mo's arm as a joke: "Shall I buy you popcorn?" Shen Mo thought disgustedly: "This person can obviously take the route of a domineering president, so why is he acting cute from time to time? Could it be that Lin Yiqi abducted him after he came back?"

This movie is very popular. When Shen Mo and Xiao Yi entered with drinks, two-thirds of the people were already seated in the medium-sized hall, and they were in the middle. Shen Mo looked around, and it was basically a family of three or a couple. couples, or students who come together, male and male groups are basically a rare species, not to mention their attractive appearance, it is difficult not to be noticed, but fortunately, the lights in the hall quickly went out with the pre-advertisement of the movie up.Compared with Shen Mo's thinking about things, Xiao Yi's expression is much more calm, and he always looks at the screen calmly.Infected by the calm emperor next to him, Shen Mo was quickly attracted by the film.

The movie is unexpectedly good-looking, and it doesn't follow the old-fashioned line of the protagonist's pursuit of dreams.Instead, it tells a story about family affection and forgetting with exquisite conception. The whole animation is very touching. At the end of the film, when Nana finally remembered her father in the singing, the sound of sniffling came from everywhere in the theater.It wasn't until the subtitles came out accompanied by the theme song "Remember Me" at the end of the film that people reluctantly left the scene one after another.Xiao Yi calmed down his emotions immersed in the movie, turned his head to see Shen Mo, and his heart sank.

I saw Shen Mo resting his elbows on his knees, his face buried in his palms and motionless, Xiao Yi's hand that was about to slap Shen Mo stopped halfway when he saw the tears constantly oozing from the cracks in his palms.The cleaning staff came in and started cleaning, casting curious glances at the only two people in the hall from time to time.Seeing Shen Mo's silent tears, Xiao Yi felt a strong overwhelm and helplessness of being isolated for the first time.Seeing that Shen Mo was immersed in his own emotions, he couldn't get out, and Xiao Yi couldn't get in either.

Seeing that the people from the next round were about to enter the arena, Xiao Yi half pulled and half hugged Shen Mo up, and dragged him to the bathroom. Shen Mo kept his head down all the way.As soon as he entered the bathroom, Shen Mo avoided Xiao Yi's hand, leaned against the wall, and continued to cover his face.Xiao Yi slowly leaned next to Shen Mo, shoulder to shoulder, and became silent, the two of them stood like a solid statue.

It took half an hour before Shen Mo controlled his tear glands, went to the sink to wash his face, and after washing his face with cold water several times, he saw that his eyes and nose were still red, which probably took an hour to disappear, so he couldn't help sighing Tone, resigned to fate, turned to Xiao Yi and said, "Let's go."

After leaving the bathroom, Xiao Yi was neither concerned nor curious, and just said, "Let's go eat Thai food, I want pineapple rice." Shen Mo also tacitly stopped mentioning it, the whole process seemed to be emotional Accidents do not exist.

It was already past lunch time, and there were very few people in the restaurant. Shen Mo and the others chose a seat by the window to sit down.Xiao Yi boldly ordered chicken wrapped in pandan leaves, curry beef brisket, green papaya salad, grilled mushrooms, and pineapple rice, and the table was full.Shen Mo cried for a long time and was so hungry that he was so hungry. The two of them didn't talk much, and started to sweep the rice like a storm. In less than twenty minutes, two-thirds of the food was eaten, leaving only some chicken and rice Keep it packed and go back to feed the wild cats.

At the moment, the two of them were sitting and drinking mint tea without talking, and they seemed to be thinking about their own affairs.Just now he ate too much and was too focused, and Shen Mo's appetite was a bit full. He looked at the people coming and going outside the window, and suddenly asked, "Xiao Yi, why did you change your major in the first place?" Xiao Yi didn't know what Shen Mo was thinking. He jumped there all of a sudden: "Are you serious?" "Of course."

Xiao Yi thought for a while, and replied: "It's hard to explain this matter in one or two sentences. Actually, I'm not particularly interested in any major. I have always been good at science from junior high school to high school, and I can easily get high marks. , when I applied for a school to choose a major, I naturally wanted to develop in the direction of science and engineering. When I really went to the field of mathematics in university, I found that I was actually very mediocre, and there were too many geniuses and eccentrics around me. The limitations of my own abilities are doomed It can only guarantee that I can graduate smoothly. After graduation, I may be able to work in a research institute or a university, but that’s all. Mathematics is a subject that depends largely on talent. If you can’t achieve anything, it’s better to change the course, at least you will feel less frustrated.”

Shen Mo looked at Xiao Yi and said with a smile: "It's as if you don't need talent to study economics. Such an objective and rational decision seems to be made by a mathematician. Who said you are not suitable?"

Xiao Yi stared at the water glass in his hand, and said softly: "Maybe, but I never want to force myself, let alone others." Then he looked up at Shen Mo: "What about you, I heard that you are Japanese Professional, isn't the span bigger?"

Shen Mo was slightly taken aback when he heard the words, and then stretched his arms indifferently and stretched his waist: "For me, of course it's because of the money. At that time, I thought the bank counted money every day, so happy."

Of course Xiao Yi knew that he was racing again, and stared at Shen Mo amusedly, put on a "money-loving face", and kindly revealed to the dedicated manager Shen Mo that the banking company would have another happy dinner next week. Shen Mo's head quickly drooped, deeply amused.

Shen Mo's spirit couldn't keep up with his body's recovery speed, and he felt a stomachache like a conditioned reflex when he heard the Xinfeng Group's drinking game.The news brought by Xiao Yi hit him hard, he didn't care about entertaining himself all night, and rolled into bed early to sleep.As a result, when I went to work the next day, I always felt that I forgot something. What was it?

This troubled mood was diluted by a busy day at work, until almost 9 o'clock in the evening, he dragged his dumb head home, and as soon as he entered the corridor, he saw the sad face of Ren Hong sitting cross-legged at the door of his house with a large suitcase .What he forgot was that when Ren Hong arrived today, he didn't leave the key for him!

Under Big Ren's eyes that were brewing with great grievance and anger, Shen Mo opened the door tremblingly, and while looking for slippers for Ren Hong, he asked, "What time did you arrive?"

"It's around 1 noon."

"...Ah?! Then why don't you call me? Are you stupid?"

Shen Mo thought that Ren Hong would immediately reprimand and criticize him with a louder roar, who would have only received a muffled voice: "I haven't waited long, I'm too lazy to fight."

This is where things get weird.Shen Mo simply sat down on the floor mat: "Let's be honest first, what happened?"

"It's all right. I'm just tired of staying at home, so I'm going to play with you for a while."

Oh~~~ play... shit.Shen Mo thought you were lying to a fool.

Ren Hong's family runs a restaurant, which specializes in the old tradition of hand-rolled noodles in eight bowls and eight dishes.Since Ren Hong's father has been driving since he was young, it has been more than [-] years. The business is not big but it has been very popular.Ren Hong can be regarded as a dutiful son. He never left home before high school. He studied in the local university.Regardless of the fact that he and Shen Mo are in two neighboring cities, only less than an hour away by bullet train, the two often don't see each other for more than half a year, and usually only talk to each other on the phone. I don't know whether to play or to scare.No matter how he asked Ren Hong, he insisted on whitewashing the peace and not relaxing.Shen Mo was so angry that he wanted to beat him to death.

The last time the two met was when they were wearing tank tops and shorts. We saw each other after a few months. Ren Hong's hair had grown, and a few tufts of hair covered his eyebrows.Different from Shen Mo's gentle and delicate appearance, Ren Hongshuai's is very traditional, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, tall and long legs, exuding vitality and publicity all over his body.However, at this time, Ren Hong opened the suitcase and rummaged around in a random manner, his brows were gloomy, his energy seemed to be taken away overnight, and there was a decadent aura of "come and mourn with me" all over his body .

Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Mo couldn't help it, so he took the only gift Ren Hong brought --- the nutritional cream that Mr. Tangyuan loved most, and went to make a meal by himself.In the evening, the two of them ate some noodles and finished washing separately. As soon as Shen Mo took out the spare bedding, Ren Hong spread out on the sofa without a sound, and quickly got in and began to sleep, as if he was afraid that Shen Mo would tell him more. In a word.

Not right, so wrong.

The author has something to say: [Chapter-end sub-cp small theater]

Tian Shui: "Why didn't Papa bring me to eat at my wife's house?"

Tangyuan: "Why are there always so many troublemakers at home, get out."

Tian Shui: "Why does Papa bring his wife to the movies and not me?"

Tangyuan: "Why are there always so many troublemakers at home, get out... leave the nutrition paste."
