After passing the small square, Jiang Lai slowed down the speed of the car, and vaguely saw a person sitting on the bench.

Jiang Lai's heart pounded, he turned the front of the car, and approached the figure a little bit, it turned out to be Bei Xiaowu.

"What are you doing here?" Jiang Lai asked Bei Xiaowu.

Bei Xiaowu sniffled, and the plastic bag in his arms rattled.

"What is this?" Jiang Lai stopped the car, squatted beside Bei Xiaowu, and looked at the things in his arms.

"The things my dad brought with me on the day of the accident, after the police gave them back to me that night, I didn't dare to take them home and buried them here."

It was only then that Jiang Lai realized that Bei Xiaowu's hands were covered with dirt, and he probably dug them out of the dirt with his hands without any tools.

Jiang Lai understood why Bei Xiaowu buried Bei Tiangui's relics in this place, because the child was afraid, and because subconsciously he was unwilling to accept the reality.

If these things did not appear in the house, then the tragedy of the night could lie to oneself that it never happened.

Jiang Lai held Bei Xiaowu's hand and rubbed the mud on his fingers.The cold and rough hands were a little colder and rougher.

The plastic bag rustled, Jiang Lai rubbed Bei Xiaowu's fingers to warm them up, turned around and sat beside the child, and took the bag from his arms.

A mobile phone that was almost shattered, a bunch of keys, and a notebook whose first few pages were missing.

"This is the last thing he left in this world," Bei Xiaowu said slowly, with a trembling voice, "I don't know what to do with them."

Jiang Lai put the plastic bag aside and rubbed the child's head with his hands, "Take it home, put them in a separate drawer, and take them out when you miss him."

Bei Xiaowu remained silent, and from Jiang Lai's perspective, he could see that he was powerlessly pursing his lips.

"Don't pretend to be strong. Missing and suffering are normal reactions. I know what you think, and I'm afraid grandma will worry, but you can do whatever you want with me."

Jiang Lai withdrew his hand, and looked sideways at the bag, "Or you can put it in my place, bury it, dig it out tomorrow, whatever you want, no one will laugh at you, and no one will laugh at you. What do people say about you?"

Bei Xiaowu's tightly pursed lips parted slightly, and exhaled a faint white breath.He clenched his fists and beat Jiang Lai, then he slid his head up and leaned against the back of the chair.

Jiang Lai knew that the child's posture was afraid of tears.He looked distressed and wanted to change the subject.

"Hey," Jiang Lai leaned closer to Bei Xiaowu, pretending to smell his body, "How long has it been since you took a shower?"

Bei Xiaowu's shoulders moved slightly, "I washed it after coming back from the hospital yesterday, does it stink?"

After Jiang Lai wrinkled his nose, he curled his lips again, "It stinks to death."

Bei Xiaowu chuckled, and deliberately rubbed against Jiang Lai, "Are you a clean freak!"

Jiang Lai could see that Bei Xiaowu felt a little more relaxed. Looking at the neighborhood opposite the small square, he suddenly had an idea.

"Wait, I'll make a call." Jiang Lai took out his cell phone and called Sun Jing.

Sun Jing had just finished training at night, his muscles were sore and he had to go to the small shop to buy water for the female senior, and he was out of breath after answering Jiang Lai's phone call.

"What's wrong?" Sun Jing asked.

Jiang Lai knocked on the phone with a smirk, "Oh, didn't you say you wanted to take a bath in our alley?"

"Ah?" Sun Jing knew that most middle-aged and elderly people had the habit of taking a bath in winter, so his grandfather always went to Jiang Lai's alley, but he didn't expect Jiang Lai to be so good.

"When did I say that?" Sun Jing asked as he walked back to pay for the bottle of water.

Jiang Lai was afraid that Bei Xiaowu would hear the sound from the phone, so he knocked on the phone again, and raised the volume to suppress Sun Jing's voice, "You forgot, it was just last time, last time someone mentioned the bathroom, you said you I want to go too."

"Have it?"

"Oh," Jiang Lai turned around, and glanced at Bei Xiaowu, "Will you come or not, I'm with Xiaowu."

Speaking of Xiao Wu, Sun Jing belatedly understood Jiang Lai's real intention in making the call, and quickly agreed, "Okay, wait for me, I'll be right there."

Jiang Lai hung up the phone, breathed a sigh of relief, put the phone back, and bumped Bei Xiaowu again, "The two brothers will take you to take a bath later."

In fact, Jiang Lai was a little apprehensive, after all, he was quite embarrassed when he heard that dozens of gentlemen in the bathhouse frankly gathered together to take a bath in the kind of bathhouse that Xue Man said.

But if you call one more person, you will have more confidence in your heart, not to mention that you will not look too eye-catching when you are with a group of handsome guys, one big and one small, among a group of old men.

Speaking of taking a bath, Bei Xiaowu has been in the hospital since Bei Tiangui had an accident.He once thought that the routine bath on Monday night might stop on that winter night forever, but Jiang Lai still remembered it.

"Why take care of me?" Bei Xiaowu slightly hooked his lower lip, looking at Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai raised his eyebrows, "Didn't you say that there are many handsome guys? I'll go and have a look. If I can't see it, just look at Sun Jing. It doesn't hurt either way."

He didn't dare to say "or look at you", such words made himself feel perverted.

Bei Xiaowu smiled, pointy canine teeth wrapped around his lips, "All right."

Bei Xiaowu and Jiang Lai went home together, and Bei Xiaowu finally decided to keep the bag by himself.

He thinks what Jiang Lai said is right, no matter how sad it is to lose a loved one, let alone that he is still underage, crying and making troubles can be understood by others, there is no need to pretend to be an adult, and there is no need to put everything It's all in my heart.

Bei Xiaowu went back to the room, opened the drawer in the upper left corner of the desk, took Bei Tiangui's belongings out of the plastic bag stained with mud, and arranged them one by one.

He thought that in the future, when he was feeling uncomfortable, when he couldn't go on, when he couldn't hold on, he would open this drawer and think about how his father supported the whole family by himself in those years.

Dad can survive such difficulties, and he can do it himself.

After a while, someone whistled outside the door, Jiang Lai went to open the door, and it was Sun Jing who had arrived.

Sun Jing happily put the car under the old walnut tree, and raised her neck to wink at Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai stuffed the prepared toiletries into Sun Jing's arms and told Bei Xiaowu to come out quickly.

It is a good thing for the boys to take a bath together, in Sherman's opinion.

Xue Man could always feel Bei Xiaowu's resistance to Jiang Lai. When Bei Tiangui's accident happened, she was very worried that Bei Xiaowu's mood fluctuated too much and no one could comfort him.

I didn't expect Jiang Lai to do a good job these days, taking care of Bei Xiaowu in all aspects, and he really looks like a big brother.

"Bubble well." Sherman took off his glasses and squeezed them in his hands, standing at the door to watch the boys go out.

The three of them turned the corner together to the door of the bathroom, and Bei Xiaowu went there familiarly to buy three tickets.

As soon as the indigo cloth door curtain was pulled open, a puff of hot and humid steam rushed towards the face.

"Let's go."

Bei Xiaowu led the way, Jiang Lai and Sun Jing followed behind.

Sun Jing often participates in competitions, is used to living in dormitories and taking public baths.Seeing a room full of bathroom cabinets, he spontaneously began to undress.

Standing behind Sun Jing, Jiang Lai looked at the beautiful body, pinching the zipper of the jacket with his fingers, and couldn't do anything to him for a while.

Bei Xiaowu snickered, and found his locker according to the number plate.

The atmosphere was not pleasant but relaxed, but the moment the cabinet door was opened, the special smell of wood swelling instantly made Bei Xiaowu's nose sore.

This smell has always accompanied Bei Tiangui.

Every Monday night, Bei Tiangui smelled like motor oil, and made an appointment with Bei Xiaowu to meet at the entrance of the bathhouse, and then followed the way they came in just now, until they walked to such a bathroom cabinet.

Every cabinet and every corner here has the shadow of Bei Tiangui urging Bei Xiaowu.

Bei Xiaowu unconsciously clenched his hand holding the door of the cupboard, his knuckles turned white, and his palm was so painful that it was pinched by the door.

"What's the matter, are you shy too?" Sun Jing walked behind Bei Xiaowu with a bath towel wrapped around her waist, patted him, and asked with a smile.

Fortunately, the fog here is very heavy, and the moisture in the eyes is well covered up.

Bei Xiaowu loosened the cabinet door and shook his head slightly, "No."

"I'll go in first." Sun Jing carried a basket of toiletries, opened the curtain and entered the bathtub.

In the empty changing room, there were only Jiang Lai and Bei Xiaowu, looking at each other through the misty water vapor.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Lai asked.

Bei Xiaowu sniffed, "I remembered something."

As he spoke, he began to take off his clothes. In the past, Bei Tiangui followed behind him to help him fold his clothes. Now it's time for him to take off one by one and fold one by one.

Of course Jiang Lai knew what Bei Xiaowu was thinking, and he regretted suggesting to take a bath. Not only did it make Bei Xiaowu feel bad when he thought of the father-son time before, but also he was too ashamed to bear, "Why don't we go back?"

Bei Xiaowu didn't seem to listen to Jiang Lai's words, just like Sun Jing a few minutes ago, he entered the bath with a towel wrapped around his waist.

Jiang Lai saw that there was no one around, and began to pick himself up quickly.

After trembling one after another, the bathroom curtain was lifted, and Jiang Lai saw a pool, and jumped into it with his eyes closed.

Wow, a big splash, the two bald men who were chatting in the pool were splashed all over their heads and faces.

"Whose fool is this!"

After Jiang Lai got used to the light in the bath, he saw that Sun Jing and Bei Xiaowu were not in the pool.

There are several generous pools in this old-fashioned bath. The pool near the door is generally hotter, and middle-aged and elderly people especially like it.Young people like to go to the innermost part, as the water temperature is lower and there are fewer people.

"We're here!" Sun Jing waved his arms at Jiang Lai, laughing so hard that he saw Jiang Lai's foolishness just now.

Jiang Lai apologized to the two fat men in the pool, and bowed to grab his bath towel.

Just now, he was only trying to speed up, and jumped off wrapped in a towel.It's okay now, the bath towel has become dead in the water, and it's wrapped around my legs and I can't pull it up.

Jiang Lai heard continuous laughter coming from inside, including Sun Jing and Bei Xiaowu.

All right, Jiang Lai admits it, it's already like this anyway, there's nothing to hide anymore.

I'm a big man, so afraid that you won't see me? !

Jiang Lai picked up the bath towel from the water vigorously, stood by the pool and wrung out the water vigorously. Without covering up, he threw the bath towel on his shoulders and rushed towards the pool of Sun Jing and Bei Xiaowu.
