Unique memory

On the second day of the Lunar New Year, Xu Jia accompanied the elders of the family to leave relatives at home. On the third day of the Lunar New Year, when Xu Zhenglin left for the research base, Xu Jia went to the station to see him off.

Before the ticket check, Xu Zhenglin looked at Xu Jia and put his hand on his shoulder: "Dad will come to see you next time, take care of yourself."

"I know, don't worry." Xu Jia nodded, and said, "Be careful all the way and pay attention to your body."

"You have been so sensible since you were a child." Xu Zhenglin smiled, patted the top of his head lightly, and said with a clear sigh in his tone, "Dad has cared too little for you all these years. This is my fault. In the future, I will Spend as much time as possible to come back with you."

Xu Jia didn't ask how much extra time was spent, because no one could say for sure, just like when Xu Zhenglin said he would come back when he was free when he was a child, but he would never be sure which day he would be free, he just followed suit. , to remind the other party that it is time to enter the station.

Xu Zhenglin also knew that some words are useless to talk about, so he patted his head, said "Go back", and queued up to check the ticket and enter the station.

Xu Jia watched his figure enter the station with the flow of people. He stood outside for a few minutes before turning around and leaving. After walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped and looked at Wei Lingyang who was not far away.

"Why are you standing there stupidly?" Seeing him standing still, Wei Lingyang waved to him from outside the guardrail, and shouted, "Come here."

Xu Jia walked over quickly, walked around the guardrail and came to him: "Why are you here?"

"I went to your house to look for you just now. Grandma said that you sent your dad out, so I came here." Wei Lingyang said as he took his hand and shook it. Feeling the cold fingertips, he frowned, " Why is it so cold?"

"I'll just cover it in my pocket." Xu Jia said indifferently, wanting to withdraw her hand.

"That's right." Wei Lingyang held his left hand and put it directly into his down jacket pocket, "This way it will be warm."

Xu Jia looked at the people coming and going around. Everyone was in a hurry, but no one noticed their actions, so he didn't struggle. In Wei Lingyang's pocket, he clasped ten fingers with him and felt the fingers. Wrapped in each other's warmth, he and his palm slowly returned to warmth.

Instead of going home directly, the two went to a nearby milk tea shop for a drink.Wei Lingyang ordered two cups of hot milk tea, stuffed one cup to warm Xu Jia's hands, and the two found a seat to sit down.

The warm milk tea was sucked into the mouth and flowed into the stomach. Xu Jia took two sips and felt his body warmed up a lot. Then he asked Wei Lingyang: "Why did you come here specially? I went back after seeing my dad off."

"Come to pick you up." Wei Lingyang took a sip of milk tea and said with a smile, "I'm afraid you'll be the same as when you were a child, crying on the side of the road after delivery."

He was referring to the day when Jiang Yan left when he was a child, Xu Jia was crying on the side of the road. Hearing this, Xu Jia stopped drinking milk tea and glanced at him with a straw in his mouth: "You think too much."

Wei Lingyang smiled, but did not speak.

He saw Xu Jia standing at the ticket gate just now, with his back turned to him, and he was really afraid that he was crying. He didn't want to see Xu Jia cry, and he didn't even want to see his eyes turn red.

So when he learned that Xu Jia was going to send Xu Zhenglin away, he took a taxi here without hesitation, fearing that if he arrived too late, he would not have time to wipe his tears and let him face the loneliness when his parents left again and again.

But his little princess is much stronger than he imagined.

Thinking about it, Wei Lingyang raised the corners of his lips, looking at Xu Jia who was drinking milk tea with his head down, his eyes were full of tenderness.

After drinking the milk tea, the two left the milk tea shop.

There has been no snow this winter, and the climate is much warmer than last year. It was still early, and the two of them were not in a hurry. They walked slowly side by side. Passing by the bus stop sign, they walked straight down the sidewalk. Walk.

"Wow..."

When passing by the side alleys, the two heard weak barking from inside, which sounded like the sound of a puppy, intermittent and inaudible, but both of them stopped.

"Would you like to take a look?" Xu Jia suggested.

"Go." Wei Lingyang shrugged indifferently, and walked into the alley with him.

Turning around the alley, the two found a little milk dog at the door of a shop with the iron gate tightly closed.

The little milk dog is curled up in a cardboard box. Its body is less than the size of two hands. It may be because of the rain just this morning. Its hair is a little wet, and its ears are raised and pulled. It is obvious that it has been severely frozen. Lying in the box lazily, weeping.

This is a little golden retriever that was abandoned by someone. The words "ask for adoption" are written in black pen on the top of the carton. There is still some unfinished dog food in the carton, which should have been abandoned not long ago.

Xu Jia and Wei Lingyang looked at each other, and they both saw the meaning of "bring it back" in each other's eyes, and they both smiled at each other's tacit understanding.

Wei Lingyang squatted down and touched the top of the little golden retriever's head: "You are lucky to meet us, come back with us."

"Woo..." The little golden retriever whimpered, and gently rubbed the top of his head against his palm.

The cardboard box was already half wet, and there would only be harm and no benefit to letting the little golden retriever stay inside. Seeing this, Xu Jia started to untie his scarf. Wei Lingyang tore off his scarf first, and stuffed it into Xu Jia's hand: "Use mine."

"Okay." Xu Jia didn't delay either. He spread out his scarf to wrap the little golden retriever, hugged him to his lap, then untied his scarf to help Wei Lingyang wrap it around, and he himself pulled the zipper of the down jacket to the end. , covered his neck, then stood up, "Let's go."

Wei Lingyang touched the scarf around his neck, said hello with a smile, stood up and walked out of the alley with him.

Because the little golden retriever was caught in the rain, the two took a taxi directly to the nearest pet store, where they asked the clerk to give the little golden retriever a bath, and went to the pet hospital to check it again to make sure it was not injured or had other problems , before taking her home.

He Minyu was a little surprised to see the two of them went out and brought a dog back: "Where did you get the little thing?"

"I picked it up." Wei Lingyang replied, and asked Xu Jia to put the little golden retriever on the ground. His hands hadn't removed the plaster cast yet. Xu Jia was holding the little golden retriever all the way back, and he was probably tired.

Xu Jia didn't put down the little golden retriever, but hugged it, and looked at He Minyu apologetically: "I'm sorry, Aunt Min, I brought it back without asking you."

"It's okay, it's quite cute." He Minyu teased the little golden retriever twice, and seeing that it was a little listless, she asked, "Why does it look so slumped?"

"It was raining outside and had to rest for two days. I just gave it an injection in the hospital." Xu Jia explained.

"No wonder." He Minyu nodded knowingly, took her scarf from the sofa and wrapped it around, and said to the two of them, "I made an appointment with someone to see the house, and now I'm going out, you take care of it yourself."

"it is good."

After He Minyu left, Xu Jia and Wei Lingyang were left in the room. Wei Lingyang found an old padded coat of his own, and spread it on the floor next to the sofa. Xu Jia carried the little golden retriever on it. The little guy was very Be cute, as soon as Xu Jia put it down, it would lie cross-legged on top of the cotton-padded coat, neither barking nor running.

Xu Jia squatted beside it, smoothed its hair with his hands, and asked Wei Lingyang, "Shall we give it a name?"

"Call it Xiaotiangou." Wei Lingyang replied casually.

"..." Xu Jia rolled his eyes at him, "It's yellow."

"That's called Huang Xiaotian."

"...shut up, you." Xu Jia was speechless, thinking of what He Minyu said just now that he was going to see the house, "Does your family want to buy a house?"

"It seems so." Wei Lingyang scratched the little golden retriever's chin with one hand, "My dad plans to transfer the business over there in the past two years to develop here, and my mother wants to change to a bigger house. Then bring grandparents over."

Changing the house meant that Wei Lingyang and the others would move out.

Xu Jia was a little distracted, growing up together, he seemed to have never considered that Wei Lingyang would move away.

Wei Lingyang noticed his expression, guessed what he was thinking, approached him and asked, "Don't you want me?"

"Don't get so close." Xu Jia pushed his face away and said in disgust, "An eyesore."

"I still don't admit it." Wei Lingyang simply moved over and squatted next to him, and comforted him, "Don't worry, I won't move so soon. My dad will take a year or two to get things done in the company, my mom It will take a while to look at the house, buy a house and decorate it, maybe we will all graduate from high school by then, as long as we go to a university, we can still live together, no one cares.”

...to get into a university.

Xu Jia repeated this once, and looked up at him: "Are you sure you can?"

"..." Wei Lingyang felt that he was despised, he really didn't have the strength.

For the next whole day, Wei Lingyang felt that his little heart was deeply hurt, and he didn't even think about naming the little golden retriever. He just called it "Teppanyaki" because he picked it up. Its place is the entrance of a teppanyaki shop.

Xu Jia was speechless.

……

Jiang Yan's wedding date is on the twelfth day of the first lunar month, and she booked Xu Jia and the others a plane ticket to City B in advance, and the departure date is the seventh day of the first lunar month.

The night before departure, Wei Lingyang stayed at Xu Jia's place, pestered Xu Jia to chat and refused to sleep, his words were full of reluctance for Xu Jia to leave, he hugged Xu Jia like a big dog and would not let go.

"Stop making trouble." Xu Jia pushed his hairy head helplessly, "I'm going away for ten days, and it's not like I won't come back. Why are you clingier than Duoduo?"

Duoduo was the little golden retriever that the two of them picked up. Jiang's mother thought the teppanyaki was too ugly, so she named it Duoduo.

"You actually compare me with a dog?" Wei Lingyang rubbed his head against his arm, complaining in a rather complaining tone, "Ten days, don't you think you can't bear to part with me?"

"Yes." Xu Jia said with a smile, why not? Since they have known Wei Lingyang in the past few years, they rarely have been separated for such a long time, "Then I'll call you over there."

"I must make a call." Wei Lingyang thought for a while, "Does your mother have a computer at home?"

"Yes." Xu Jia turned his hand from pushing his head to touch, stroking his hair with his fingertips, "Then I'll send you a video."

"Okay." Wei Lingyang was quite satisfied, kissed him and said, "You have to take a plane tomorrow, so go to sleep."

"Okay." Xu Jia kissed him back, reached out and turned off the desk lamp, "Good night."

"Good night."

The room was quiet, and after a while, Wei Lingyang's voice sounded again: "Jiajia, are you asleep?"

"Not yet." Xu Jia's voice followed suit.

Hearing his clear tone, Wei Lingyang didn't seem to be sleepy. He knew that he couldn't fall asleep just like himself, so he thought for a while and said, "I can't sleep anyway, so let me sing you a song?"

"What song?" Speaking of singing, Xu Jia remembered Wei Lingyang's song "Qilixiang" when he was doing the problem before, and then he heard Wei Lingyang humming softly in his ear: "The sparrow outside the window, on the telegraph pole Talk too much, you say this, it feels like summer..."

Hearing the familiar tune and lyrics, Xu Jia wanted to laugh a little, and wanted to ask Wei Lingyang if he could not sing other songs, so he sang, "I use a few lines to describe who you are to me." ", Puchi laughed.

"What are you laughing at?" Xu Jia didn't know why.

Wei Lingyang didn't answer, and repeated the sentence just now, then approached Xu Jia's ear, and said three words with a smile: "Little Princess."

"..." Xu Jia was silent for a few seconds, then lifted the quilt abruptly, turned over and sat on his waist, looking down at him with a cold face, "Say it again, who is the little princess?"

The room was a bit dark, with only the faint light coming from the window, neither of them could see each other's expression clearly.

Wei Lingyang let him sit on him, stretched out his hand to pull him down, kissed him accurately, and said with a smile: "It's not the little princess, it's my ancestor."

Xu Jia: "..."

In terms of thick skin, Xu Jia admits that he will never be Wei Lingyang's opponent.
