three years old

Cheng Cheng took a deep breath and looked at the five boys standing on the opposite side of the street.

With a cold face, he turned and walked into an empty alleyway next to the community.

There are few people here, so it is easy to bring them here.

He remembered that when he was in primary school, a group of third graders and sixth graders fought in this alley. Ning Xi was also in sixth grade at that time, and ran over with a group of people in the class, kicking his classmates The boys kicked them to the ground and called them the third graders to run first.

All the little boys in the group ran away, Xiao Xingcheng just didn't run away, turned around to pick up bricks, and was about to greet them, but the people led by Ning Xi had already put them all down.

Xing Cheng's mother took the plaster for bruises, and took Xiao Xing Cheng to the door to thank her. Ning Xi's mother took it with a sullen face, and closed the door loudly.

Having grown up to such a big age, Xing Cheng didn't even figure out how Ning Xi's mother's domineering personality could give birth to such a gentle and indifferent child like Ning Xi.

Xing Cheng's mother is pungent, but kind-hearted and beautiful, and he has a good appearance, just like his mother, with a high nose and thin lips, deep eyebrows and eyes, the older he gets, the more masculine he is.

There were no people in the alleyway at the moment, only a small street lamp at the entrance of the alleyway and occasional passers-by in the space between the two residential buildings.

Cheng Cheng picked up a discarded broomstick and held it in his hand, he didn't put down the basketball bag on his back, half of his face was hidden in the darkness.

In terms of height alone, he was half a head taller than the people who came here today, not to mention his aura, he used all his tricks to bluff people on the stage, and when he pressed his eyebrows, he was [-] meters tall in an instant.

Of the five people in front of him, three were still smoking cigarettes, and when Xing Cheng smelled it, he thought of Ning Xi.

This time stimulated him, and his back straightened even more.

There was a man wearing a baseball cap who seemed to be the leader lighting the fire, and he opened his mouth and asked, "Walking?"

"No nonsense."

Xing Cheng was too lazy to talk nonsense to him, so he gestured the stick in the air after he finished speaking.

With a gloomy face, Xingcheng continued: "Go to the stadium one-on-one, one-on-nine, bullfight solo, or here one-on-one, together, it's all fine."

The head of the stick hit the brick floor by his feet and drew a circle. With a ruthless expression, he let out his words: "As long as I don't get down today, don't fucking follow Ning Xi from now on, or I'll find someone to come , it’s not as easy as you do me.”

In a five-on-one hand-to-hand fight, Xing Cheng took a pole in his hand and turned it into a weapon fight. He picked up a pole and swung it over, aiming at the person's arm.

There was a gust of wind in my ears, and the alley was filled with shouts that fluctuated from high to low. Whether it was a fist or a leg that greeted me, I couldn't tell clearly, I only felt pain.

What hurt more than him were those five people who rushed up to press Xing Cheng and couldn't hold it down. Instead, they were kicked out by Xing Cheng's legs and turned their backs.

Xing Cheng suffered a sharp pain on his back from being hit, turned around and kicked up, and got a stick!

A boy next to him who stood up tremblingly uttered a curse, and shouted, "Where's Ning Xin?"

Someone who stood far away and didn't dare to rush up jumped and scolded: "Fuck you, that man's name is Ning Xi, and you, get out!"

The sound was too loud for Xing Cheng to listen to, and he cursed in a low voice that he couldn't hear clearly, and rushed to mend his foot, so hard that his eyes would bleed.

The kid in the baseball cap swung his fists to hit him, his arm was held, he was kicked in the lower abdomen, he staggered back a few steps, and yelled with his eyes wide open, "Tell Ning Xi to get down, this one is here to deal with him!" , what are you..."

A pole in his hand was broken while holding it, and it was broken into two halves, one in each hand, his throat was sorely beaten by someone's hand knife, and he swallowed a mouthful of bloody saliva, making it uncomfortable to scrape.

Cheng Cheng's voice was hoarse: "I'm his fucking man, what are you?"

He didn't look at the surprised expression of the little baseball cap, and hit the person rushing forward with his backhand, with great force!

The basketball bag was trampled dirty under his feet, and he threw the basketball inside and threw it at the person, knocking the bricks by the wall so that the side of his face was covered with mud.

The street lights at the entrance of the alley reflected a few people passing by in a hurry, and after another two or three minutes, the broom stick that was half broken in the hand stopped.

There were three people lying in front of them unable to get up, walking and panting heavily, kneeling in the middle of the alley, half of their face was covered with blood, wounds were knocked out on their hands, and blood beads slid down in clusters and merged into a corner at their feet. In a pile of pebbles.

After two runs, it is estimated that someone will come soon, so Xing Cheng did not dare to delay, slowly stood up while leaning on the wall, and threw the pole in his hand to the ground.

Xingcheng roared in a rough voice: "Are you still coming?! Do you still dare to follow Ning Xi?!"

Now I feel pain all over my body, and when I take a breath, my throat is hoarse.

The one lying on the ground squinted his eyes and rubbed his neck, his voice was full of tears: "I'm...not coming..."

Xing Cheng sneered, clutching the rope of the ball bag, not wiping the blood off his palms.

"Ning Xi was the former boss of our school team. You guys are so brave. If you dare to come here again, I will call someone from the colonel team to chop you off!"

After Xing Cheng finished speaking, he closed his eyes, wiped off the sticky sweat around his eyes, and took a look at the street lights at the alley.

Panting for breath, Cheng Cheng trotted out of the alley with the ball bag in hand, squatted in a corner and rested for a while, stood up, took off his coat and turned it inside out, putting the bloody side inside.

He ran to the car on the side of the road, looked at the side of his face in the rearview mirror, and he saw the redness and swelling at the corner of his mouth, and he grinned, tearing it painfully.

Xing Cheng took out the phone from the basketball bag, checked that the screen wasn't cracked, and heaved a sigh of relief, he took it out and called Ren Mei.

Xingcheng coughed, and opened his mouth in a frighteningly low voice: "Mei Ren, buy some alcohol gauze."

Ren Mei was playing cards with someone over there, a king blasted out, and was about to shout, when she answered Xing Cheng's phone, she was terrified: "Damn! Boss, what's the matter with you?"

Xing Cheng was in so much pain that he stood at the gate of the community and didn't dare to go in. The light in Ning Xi's window was still on, what would he do if he looked at him later?

He glanced at it again, the curtains were drawn, he felt relieved, and walked into the community with his head down: "Stop fucking nonsense, hurry up, if it's too late, I'll die here!"

The card game at Ren Mei's side heard that there was something wrong with Xing Cheng, all the half-grown boys couldn't sit still, and yelled on the phone, what kind of idiot, damn it!

Can Ren Mei talk, say one more thing, if this f*cking thing gets serious, it will be over, I have to go and see what's going on with Xing Cheng first.

Several boys rushed to the clinic to buy gauze alcohol and a pile of traumatic plasters, took three taxis, and rushed to Xing Cheng's house.

Cheng Cheng was lying on the bed with his clothes half lifted when he heard a knock on the door, saw seven or eight people behind Ren Mei, and said angrily, "Who the hell asked you to bring so many people here? "

Ren Mei's neck shrank: "Damn it, didn't something happen to you? We were almost scared to death..."

Xing Cheng sighed, feeling that he was also to blame for this matter, opened the door to let everyone in, closed the door, checked the time, reckoned that Ning Xi should have fallen asleep by this time.

He directed Ren Mei to the kitchen to pour coke, brought out several cups, entertained briefly, and told what happened tonight, with the gauze still biting on his mouth, he ordered: "No one is looking for trouble. , if they still come to follow, then discuss this matter again."

The brothers had no choice but to nod, pouring Coke down their throats, Cheng Cheng put the gauze on, poured alcohol on his arms, raised a glass of Coke and clinked with them: "It's done."

Seeing him like this, Ren Mei also got angry, so she had to run into him and said, "Damn it!"

After a group of people left in the middle of the night, Xingcheng took a bath with hot water and fell asleep. Looking at the time, it was three or four o'clock in the morning.

Had no dreams all night, slept until the sun was up, Xing Cheng touched the edge of the bed and got up to wash up, he really didn't have the energy to get up to find Ning Xi for breakfast, his face was still stained, he had no choice but to lie like this for a whole day.

Ning Xi got up early in the morning and didn't see Xing Cheng. She thought it was too late for him to play games with Ren Mei last night. Follow the movement.

He couldn't sit still anymore, turned on his phone, and took the initiative to send a message to Xingcheng.

Do Not Disturb: Are you there?

Holding the phone and waiting for a while, Xingcheng came back with a "here!"

Ning Xi finally breathed a sigh of relief, today he was restless and panicked, but as long as Xing Cheng is okay, he is afraid that something will happen to the child if his uncle and aunt are not around.

Xing Cheng counted the time, and felt that Ning Xi should have arrived home by this time, so he opened the curtains and looked downstairs, and the window was really bright.

I didn't dare to turn on the lights at night, because I was afraid that Ning Xi would come back and watch.

Xing Cheng took out his mobile phone and called Ren Mei, asking for some more medicine, thank you brother.

Ren Mei came over with medicine, scolded Xing Cheng for not knowing to go to the hospital, and at the same time scolded the group of people for beating up five times for being unruly, making Xing Cheng have a headache.

After taking the medicine and falling asleep, Ren Mei turned off the small desk lamp in the room for Xing Cheng, and scolded him: "You can move around after you recover from your injury."

Xingcheng nodded, and quickly agreed: "Okay."

Ren Mei never expected that Xing Cheng had a lot of calculations. When he went downstairs, Ning Xi opened the door and called him to stop. Ren Mei didn't dare to move too much for fear of startling Ning Xi. I dismantled it myself.

Ning Xi frowned and asked, "Where did Xing Cheng go?"

Ren Mei swallowed her saliva, and [-] started to make up: "He lives at my house, he, he has a game in the afternoon, let me come over to get things..."

Ning Xi hesitated for a moment, then nodded, and let Ren Mei go back.

After Ren Mei left, Ning Xi still felt something was wrong.

He held the key in his pajamas, went upstairs and knocked on the door, but no one answered after knocking for 10 minutes, thinking that Xing Cheng was really not at home.

He didn't know, he just walked and lay down and dared not open the door.

This face is not in good shape, waist is not in good shape, open the door to look for pumping?

Ning Xi was wearing slippers, so cold that she stood at the door of Xing Cheng's house for about ten minutes, sighed, and went downstairs.

The next day, after a day and a half of high school, Ning Xi went out in her school uniform early in the morning to make up lessons and math for the elementary school students in the building next door.

After a day and a half, I earned 200 yuan at the student price, put it in my pocket, and walked home happily.

Ning Xi wanted to buy a textbook for herself, but it was over 80, but she couldn’t buy it. She felt distressed no matter how much money she earned, so she thought about it for a while, and went to the bank to save it.

He took the online banking and transferred the money to Xingcheng. The two hundred yuan was transferred, and the remaining 110 was left for Xingcheng to buy delicious food.

If you can't do it yourself, transfer it to Xing Cheng to buy it, and use the money to buy some delicious food...

Ning Xi finally spent the money comfortably.

Xing Cheng is growing his body at this age, no matter whether it fits now or not, it still has to grow. Ning Xi remembers that when he was in the first and second grades of high school, the boys in the same class were eager to eat five or six meals a day, and drinking milk was always the same. Drink it in big cans, and some even eat protein powder, in order to build muscles.

Xing Cheng was lying on the sofa watching basketball videos, collected the money, and sent Ning Xi a message.

Let's eat together that night.

After sending the news, Xingcheng sat up, changed the gauze, his hands still smelled of alcohol, changed his coat and sneakers, looked at the light in Ning Xi's window, guessed that he should be reading in the bedroom, and went out with confidence .

Xing Cheng went to the bank to withdraw the money, exchanged it into banknotes, and went to the Xinhua Wenxuan Bookstore in Tianfu Square.

It's six or seven o'clock at this moment, and the bookstore will close in a while, so I went on a hurry, compared the pictures sent by Ning Xi, and bought that teaching aid book.

Going home with the books, Xingcheng came in from another door of the community, bypassed Ning Xi's window, went upstairs carefully, and worked for a while, after nine o'clock, it was dark, and the barbecue stalls on the street were also set up. He walked out the door in the dark.

Standing by the side of the barbecue stand, with the money he earned from playing black ball, he selected a lot of meat and some vegetable skewers, handed them to the boss, and grilled a piece of fish.

After looking at the skewers for a while, Xingcheng told the boss that the vegetables should be more spicy, the super spicy ones, and the meat and fish should be less.

He knew that Ning Xi didn't like spicy food, so Ning Xi could only eat more meat later.

How about bread and noodles all day long?

Taking the barbecue package worth more than 100 yuan, Xingcheng ran to the food stall next door to buy two bowls of white rice, covered it with his hands, and it was quite hot.

At 09:30, Xing Cheng knocked on the door of Ning Xi’s house, put the supplementary books on the table, handed the barbecue to Ning Xi, and said while taking off his sneakers, “Brother, I didn’t eat dinner, either. , you eat with me..."

The two of them just sat in the living room eating skewers, Xing Cheng also bought a bottle of yogurt for Ning Xi, and a bottle of Budweiser beer in a can for himself.

Ning Xi looked at the bottle of yogurt and guessed what it meant, so she didn't say anything.

There was no table in the living room of Ning Xi's house, so he found a newspaper and spread it out, and the two of them sat cross-legged, not caring about anything else, pulled out the lamp and plugged it in, and sat facing each other to eat barbecue under the light of the lamp.

After eating for a while, Xing Cheng watched Ning Xi's hands hesitate on the vegetable skewers for a long time, and saw that the chili could not be removed, and the chopsticks held the fish, picking and eating it bite by bite.

Xing Cheng took the lead in eating all the spicy vegetables, and gave all the meat to his brother like a treasure, urging his brother to eat the white rice too, the nutrition is balanced, understand.

Almost finished eating, Xing Cheng was so hot that he felt his wound hurt when he ate spicy food. He took a sip of wine, kept silent, took a few mouthfuls of rice and swallowed the chili pepper.

Sweat overflowed from his forehead, he didn't pay attention, he lifted up his clothes to fan the flames, but by the time he put them down, it was already too late.

Ning Xi's eyes never left Xing Cheng the whole time, and with this flick, he even saw the gauze wrapped around his waist.

For a moment, he felt as if his head had been hit violently by some sharp object.

It hurts.

Ning Xi was holding the bowl, unable to swallow the food in her throat.

Ning Xi took a deep breath, looked at the stiff Xing Cheng with indifferent eyes, and said calmly: "Is this why you haven't gone out these few days?"

Xing Cheng was dumbfounded, he didn't expect that he had a thousand calculations, and this hotness made Nuan dumbfounded.

"elder brother……"

"Who hit it? Was it the people from the Sixth Middle School?"

After Ning Xi finished speaking, he put down the bowl and chopsticks, and fixed his eyes on Xingcheng: "I know they are looking for me, so I told you not to follow me."

With him staring at him like this, Xing Cheng couldn't speak at all.

This matter was indeed his own initiative, and he was punched to make a fuss. It was also his own business, and he didn't want to affect Ning Xi at all...

Why don't you hurt yourself for me, what I don't need you to protect me...

Ning Xi couldn't say it out loud, and couldn't face herself like this.

He took a deep breath, feeling the pain in his heart.

Ning Xi stretched out her hand, wanting to touch Xing Cheng, but stopped in mid-air again.

He grabbed the bottle of Budweiser, his eyes were red, and he spoke incoherently: "Beer is definitely not good, liquor is fine, I still have money, Xingcheng, I'll buy you medical alcohol..."

Seeing him like this, Xing Cheng felt that he was really an idiot!

If he didn't lift his clothes, there wouldn't be so many things at all, and his brother wouldn't feel guilty like this.

Seeing that he couldn't eat anymore, Xing Cheng packed up his rice bowl and put it in the kitchen. When he came out, he went to his brother's side and whispered, "Brother, change my medicine."

When Ning Xi heard this, he felt the tension of Xing Cheng, and his breathing trembled.

When I got closer, I could clearly see the light blue on the corners of Xing Cheng's mouth, which had faded a lot, but there were still traces on closer inspection.

Ning Xi felt a pain in his heart, and said lightly: "Xingcheng, you can stay with me tonight."

He took the expert's key from Guan Xingcheng, rushed upstairs to get the medicine, and even took down the toiletries.

As soon as the door was closed, Ning Xi handed the things to Xing Cheng, urging him to wash up.

Ning Xi didn't read the book tonight, he couldn't read it any more, so he dragged Xing Cheng to lie down on the bed.

Cheng Cheng pinched the corner of his clothes and took off his clothes, revealing his muscular upper body...

Between breaths, the chest rises and falls, and every inch and strand reveals the meaning of youthful love.

Ning Xi's ears turned red, she didn't dare to look at his face, she pinched the gauze and carefully lifted it a little.

The wound of Yunnan Baiyao was mixed with blood scabs, the flesh and blood were ferocious, the wound was terrifying, and the surrounding area was light yellow with iodine tincture. Ning Xi's eyes were red, she twisted a cotton swab and cleaned him bit by bit.

Xing Cheng became short of breath, watching Ning Xi's white neck, ears, and Adam's apple rolling up and down.

Ning Xi could change his own medicine, something like this, he never dared to think about it before.

He wanted to move, but Ning Xi restrained him with his hand, stretched out his hand and touched Xing Cheng's forehead, making sure that he didn't have a fever or inflammation, and then put on the new gauze with confidence.

He didn't even dare to look at Xing Cheng's frowning and patient expression while wiping the alcohol.

After wrapping up the bandage and taking the internal medicine, Ning Xi supported Xing Cheng to sleep, and asked him to sleep inside, so as not to touch his wound later.

Even that night, Ning Xi didn't go to bed at all, sat on the edge of the bed and dozed against the wall all night, set the alarm clock to vibrate at [-]:[-] in the morning, and woke up at [-]:[-], and it was Ning Xi who finished packing. Looks full of energy.

Sitting until midnight that night, Ning Xi lay down beside the bed.

Just like how he was lying on his stomach that day, he looked at the boy in front of him and took a deep breath.

Ning Xi bent down, held her breath, pressed her forehead against the galloping horse, and gently touched the tip of her nose.

The night comes and the coolness gradually deepens, the autumn moon and the Milky Way, the breaths of the two people are intertwined, and the stars in the sky are half-colored and shimmering softly...

The affection of this moment is hidden in a corner of the city, suppressed in Ning Xi's consciousness, bound by rules and regulations, clamoring frantically, trying to break free from the prison in his heart.

The coldness at the corner of his mouth was about to touch Cheng Cheng's lips, Ning Xi closed his eyes.

The corner of Ning Xi's mouth was about to bleed, and he suppressed the desire to kiss her.

too difficult.

He sat up slowly, took the phone to charge it, ran to the living room and squatted for a while, couldn't hold back, touched the cigarette and smoked it.

Taking one bite at a time, Ning Xi closed his eyes, the vines of desire in his heart grew higher and higher, wrapping around his neck, strangling him until he couldn't breathe.

He, and Xing Cheng, are not the same people at all.

In the rational future planned by Ning Xi, there is no running at all.

But often when the word "future" is mentioned, he subconsciously thinks, how can there be no travel in his life?

Ning Xi even felt that tying Xing Cheng to him, a person with flaws in his family and personality, was to drag him into the quagmire with his own hands, and never get up again.

He didn't dare to face it, if one day Xing Cheng didn't like him, what would he be.

What is it?

"Ning Xi, a third-year student at Shizhong High School, has excellent grades, looks good, and has great golf skills. Except for his cold personality, he can hardly find fault..."

Ning Xi will always remember what others say about him.

But no one knows that his "cold personality" looks cool and iceberg to outsiders, but to him it is a character defect.

Want to communicate, but can't speak, want to laugh, but can't laugh.

That night, Ning Xi squatted with a muffled voice, buried her head in her knees, held a cigarette between her fingertips, and lifted the wristband a little on her arm, leaving a cigarette scar on the side of her wrist.

There seemed to be a burnt smell in the air.

Ning Xi didn't know if there was something wrong with her nose, or if it really hurt.

He stood up, put out the cigarette butt, hid it in the trash can, and tore off the paper to cover it.

After tidying up, Ning Xi saw the supplementary book on the shoe cabinet, which was the one Xing Cheng bought in the afternoon.

With the street light outside the window, Ning Xi carefully took the book and opened it gently.

I just turned a page with my fingertips, and the hearts made of banknotes are falling everywhere.

It was Xingcheng who folded the left over 100 yuan banknotes from buying teaching supplementary books into hearts and stuffed them into the teaching supplementary books he bought for Ning Xi.

Take a flip, almost every ten pages has a heart.

It all fell out.

Under the illumination of the moonlight in the middle of the night, the running love fell to the ground...

Ning Xi's eyes turned red.

He choked up while picking it up.
