Chapter 49
However, Dr. Jiang is a cold-blooded and ruthless person. If he says he can't go, he can't go. He doesn't even have an explanation, just a few words, "It's something, it's very important."
Fortunately, Bai San just wanted to regret it, and he was not very serious when he mentioned it habitually. He must do what he wants to do. He also knew that this kind of request was very unreasonable.
"Then can you bring me some delicious snacks?"
Jiang An responded immediately, and at the same time reminded him to eat well.
Yes, besides breakfast, Baisan doesn't even taste good at lunch and dinner. He often messes with a few mouthfuls, and then eats some fruits and snacks in a mess.
In the first two months of living in Jiang An's house, he ate the dishes and delicious soup made by Jiang An every day, and he was still very happy until this kind of life lasted for half a year.
Now he is tired of seeing this kind of carefully prepared food, and misses the food stall in front of the school more and more, but he can barely give Jiang An a face, after all, he made it with his own hands, and he will thank Mr. Jiang in his heart every meal , In order to move myself, I ate a whole bowl slowly.
Until he woke up one morning and saw a staff member delivering all kinds of semi-finished food into his refrigerator, while Jiang An only needed to heat it up and serve it on the table. A five-year-old child could do such a simple thing.
Therefore, although each meal changes with different dishes, soups and desserts, it is even more abundant when the college entrance examination is approaching. Bai San is only interested in desserts, and the staple food basically does not change.
Jiang An had a headache, and Jiang An was also very stubborn, and he firmly disagreed with Baisan ordering takeout and eating food from the food trucks wandering the streets and alleys.
Bai San sighed and spread out on the dining chair, poked a piece of strawberry and chewed it slowly, as if eating delicacies from mountains and seas.
Regarding the fact that Jiang An is about to go on a business trip for nearly a month, he is actually sad and happy, so many delicacies are waiting for him, probably he and Jiang Lele and Zhao Pangzi ate for a month, and he was satisfied, enough, Jiang An also came back.
Jiang'an and Jiangshan cannot have both, on this night when they are about to part, Bai San realizes that he chooses Jiangshan.
The newly rented house is not big, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and one living room, without the luxurious screening room before.
After dinner, Bai San and Jiang An leaned on the sofa and watched a movie. When they tilted their heads, they could see the lights not far from the floor-to-ceiling windows, accompanied by the long chirping of cicadas, thick trees, and summer night.
The plane at two o'clock in the morning, no matter how close the home is to the airport, Jiang An should leave at twelve o'clock to avoid missing the plane.Bai San will take the college entrance examination tomorrow, and normally he would go to bed early, but when he got home in the afternoon, he accidentally fell asleep, and this night, he felt a little refreshed.
It's hard to say who was with whom, they watched a movie and didn't move.
At ten o'clock, in the ending song, Bai San shook his feet, pillowed on Jiang An's lap, raised his face and looked at him without blinking.
"I remember watching a movie many years ago. There was a plot in the movie. The father and son were talking homely together. At the same time, the father cooked a bowl of noodles for the son. The son didn't eat it and was busy I went out to do some errands. When I came back in the afternoon, my father jumped off the building, and my son sat alone at the table eating the bowl of noodles that had fallen off."
At this time, it is a bit strange to talk about this kind of movie, but just now Bai San suddenly came to mind, maybe the plot had a great impact on him when he was young at that time, which caused him to think about it for many years.
It was obviously a movie that I hadn't watched in its entirety, and I forgot where I saw it, but I couldn't forget it no matter what.
He looked at Jiang An expectantly, not knowing why, but he always believed that what he would not do, Jiang An would definitely do, and what he did not know, Jiang An would definitely know.
Facts have proved that this kind of unreasonable belief is blind, and Jiang An does not know which movie he is talking about, it is too general, and there are too many movies.
But Jiang An is still omnipotent and worthy of unconditional trust.
After less than 10 minutes of searching the Internet, Jiang An found the movie.
After many years, I watch it again, old movies, many plots and character settings are incomprehensible now, some are inexplicable.It's like looking at a non-mainstream that would have been cool a few years ago with the eyes of today.
The film is not as profound as Bai San imagined, it is just the joys and sorrows of a family, but the ending is happy.This time, forget about a knot buried in Bai San's heart.
At a quarter to twelve, the ending song ended, and the still screen glowed with blue fluorescence. Jiang An glanced at his watch and stroked his white hair.
"Go back to your room and sleep."
Then Jiang An should go.
Bai San bit his lower lip and remained motionless. After a while, he got up, moved to the place where he fell asleep in the afternoon, turned his face, and looked at the dim tree shadows gathered in the dark night outside the French windows.
"I dont want to sleep."
Jiang An only thought that he was still being coquettish, lowered his eyes, and twitched the corners of his lips, "Be good, isn't there an exam tomorrow?"
"Then can I tonight..." Bai San turned his head and said slowly, "Just sleep on the sofa."
"No, go back to the room and sleep." Jiang An gave the answer without hesitation.
Bai San puffed his cheeks, responded with a muffled sound, looked at the little milk dog who had just woken up, and stuck out his tongue.He jumped off the sofa, pulled on the duckling slippers, dawdled by the window, raised his head, and whispered to himself.
"Today's moon is so round, maybe it can absorb the essence of the moonlight after drying it in the sun, and bless me with a smooth exam tomorrow... Oh, forget it, Mr. Jiang is still there, so I have to wait for him to leave and I will come back, I hope that time will come." The moon is as round as it is now..."
Hearing Bai San's words, Jiang An chuckled lightly, raised his hand and tugged the bear ears on his pajama hat, what a strange child.
"Can I sleep well on the sofa?"
Bai San nodded vigorously, "I can sleep well anywhere, and if I change to a sofa, my mood will be very good."
With Jiang An's permission, Bai San happily ran back to the bedroom, took a small pillow and summer quilt, put them on the sofa, and got in by himself, then revealed a small head and looked at Jiang An motionlessly, blinking his eyes , filled with light.
Because of the weather, Jiang An's plane was delayed, Bai San shared half of the pillows, lay on the sofa with Jiang An, and slept in the living room.
Before going to bed, out of inertia, he huddled his head under the quilt, his hair rubbed against Jiang An's collar, and muttered to himself again.
"It would be nice if there was someone beside me when I woke up again."
However, he thought, around four o'clock in the morning, Jiang An would board a plane and head to a strange country he had never been to.Bai San knew that Jiang An was very busy, and this matter was also very important to him.
So this sentence is just mentioned casually, complaining about the bad weather is common, knowing that there will be no change.When he wakes up tomorrow morning, he will be left alone in the house, along with a little puppy who has been extremely sleepy lately.
The next time I see Jiang An again, I'm afraid it will be a month later.
Jiang An took it for granted that Baisan complained with small grievances, which had gradually developed into a mantra these days, and didn't say anything, but raised his arm and stroked his hair as a comfort.
"Go to sleep."
Bai San nestled under the quilt, turned his head to the side, looked at the shadow of the tree outside the window, and let out a muffled "hmm".
In the darkness, he quietly stretched out his hand from under the quilt, slowly approached the river bank, and slowly moved towards him bit by bit.Arms dangled in the gap between the sofas, crossed the soft fabric, warmed up slightly, and finally held Jiang An's hand, only one little finger, and held it tightly.
As if Jiang An didn't notice it, Bai San changed into a comfortable posture, facing up, with the faint moonlight, he could still see the blurred lines of Jiang An's face from the corner of his eye, slightly cold.
After a while, Bai San, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, received Jiang An's kiss on his forehead, and the grasped palm turned over, covering the back of his hand, and gradually tightened.
The strength is neither light nor heavy, and it will not be ignored. It is a very stable feeling like a summer wind blowing gently.
Even if ignorance will be withdrawn in the middle of the night.
Bai San pursed the corners of his mouth contentedly, trying his best to act like a sleeping person.Those chaotic thoughts also gradually sank in this silent night, accompanied by the gentle breathing of the people around them, peaceful and secure.
Wake up.
Before his vision and hearing came back to life, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes in a hazy state of consciousness. Immediately, something fell from his hand and waved in the air in a parabola.
Bai San didn't draw the curtains before going to bed. At this time, taking advantage of the gray sky with a bit of blue tone before dawn, Bai San saw the little milk dog crawling up and lying in front of him in the middle of the night. When standing next to him, he used the sofa cushion to support himself with his hands facing back, and his upper body would not rise.
In a daze, he blinked and froze.
It is a more vivid prediction in my heart than finishing a test paper with full confidence, and before the results are announced, it is expected and has some uneasiness that accidents may happen.
Taking a deep breath, Bai San is determined to accept all possibilities, neither expecting nor disappointed, it doesn't matter whether he stays or goes.He held the edge of the quilt tightly, turned his face slightly, and looked to the side.
There was a large potted plant in the corner, a fig tree, and the bare branches in the daytime cast a few slender black shadows, which fell on the floor glowing with faint moonlight, elongated and thickened, like a child It's just as fun to doodle.
Bai San's gaze shifted from the floor to the low table. There was an unfinished fruit platter, two-thirds of which were his favorite strawberries, mixed with three or four pieces of Sydney.
In sight, there are slippers that are half the size of his duckling, a corner of the blanket that is hanging down, and Jiang An lying sideways on the sofa.
His gaze was gone as soon as he touched it, Bai San turned his head, lowered his eyes slightly, and watched the little milk dog stretch his short legs comfortably, and his warm belly rose and fell with his breathing.
After a while, he let go of the corner of the quilt that he was holding tightly in his hand, stroked the crooked wrinkles that formed in just a few seconds, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
At 04:30 in the morning, the dark sky was cloudy.Bai San hugged the little milk dog aside, and lightly got off the sofa. He was wearing pajamas printed with little white bear patterns, and stretched himself in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
When he looked back, he saw that Jiang An hadn't woken up, and there was a gap between the little finger and the remaining four fingers of the fallen palm, which was separated by inertia. Someone needed to grab something.
When Bai San washed up, changed into the clothes he was going out, walked out of the room, and was about to put on his sneakers, he realized that Jiang An had already woken up. He looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and after Bai San paused, he followed suit. His eyes looked together.
It was a quarter to five.
When he turned around again, he saw Jiang An with his eyes half closed, leaning on the sofa and watching him, his voice slightly hoarse.
"It's so early, where are you going?"
Bai San pursed his lips, raised his arm and pointed at the little puppy that was still lying on the sofa, like a little puppy who couldn't wake up no matter how much he slept, he replied in a low voice, "Walk the dog."
It is obviously too early now. Although it is the time when dog lovers generally take their dogs for a walk, it does not include Baisan.
In the past, his normal dog walking time was after breakfast and before lunch, between nine and twelve in the morning.
Today he suddenly got up earlier than Jiang An, so it was really rare to catch up with the dog walking team.
It's just that when he woke up, Bai San stood in front of the window and looked out at the city that was still dark in the night, and suddenly wanted to go out for a walk.Take a breath of fresh air in the early morning, and after passing through the dew-condensed spring trees and grass at night, the streets and alleys at four or five o'clock should also be interesting.
This urge to open the door and go out for a walk came in vain, when there were only four hours left before the college entrance examination.
Bai San knew that he shouldn't do this. The correct way is to take a good rest and sleep for a while, so as not to get sleepy in the next exam and not be able to concentrate on the questions, which may eventually lead to a regrettable score.
Or taking advantage of this time, it is also very good to flip through the book, and then consolidate the knowledge points that are not solid. The efficiency of memorizing things in the morning is the most efficient. Maybe if you flip through accidentally, you will be able to pass the exam by then and get a few points. .In fact, even if you already have an idea in mind, reading it again, An Anxin, is a more correct decision than going out for a walk with the dog.
But knowing is one thing, doing is another, Bai San knew that he was a little willful, but facing Jiang An, he stuck out his tongue without any psychological burden.
Jiang An pinched the bridge of his nose, worried, "Let him sleep late today, don't take a walk."
As if he could hear Jiang An's words, the little milk dog in his sleep moved his ears and moved a little towards him. If it wasn't for one of his paws to catch the blanket, he would be very well-behaved.
Bai San lowered his eyes, scratched his fingers behind his back, and resolutely refused, "It hasn't been out at four or five in the morning." Moreover, a good puppy cannot stay in bed.
Jiang An lowered his head and pulled the little milk dog's paws off the blanket. Hearing this, he just laughed silently.
"Wait until after the college entrance examination. Then, you can take it out in the early morning to experience it."
But after the college entrance examination, he didn't want to get up early again, wishing to sleep until twelve o'clock at noon.
Bai San grabbed his cuff and shook his head. After thinking for a few seconds, he took a step back, "Then I won't take the puppy with me. I'll go out for a walk by myself."
"It's too early, the sky is still dark, and there are not many people on the street," Jiang An said helplessly, "Even if you want to go for a walk, you have to wait another two hours."
At this time, Bai San yearns for freedom very much, hoping that Jiang An left last night.
"I'll be right back, nothing will happen." Leaving the last sentence, Bai San put on his sneakers, opened and closed the door, and ran up the walking ladder in one go.
Until he left the community and walked on the empty streets, he didn't ask Jiang An why he didn't leave last night, didn't he have important things to do, and why he suddenly changed his mind.
Even if the plane is delayed, with Jiang An's ability and the importance level set a month in advance, it shouldn't be so easy to change it.
The answer was ready to come out, Bai San ruffled his hair, and the pebbles on the side of the road were kicked away one by one, not sure.
Sure enough, as Jiang An said, it was still too early, and the one or two people we would meet on the road were also sanitation workers in bright orange overalls.
The street lights were still on, and the street was melted in a dim soft yellow light. It was clearly early in the morning, but it was like night.
On weekdays, the breakfast restaurant is always full of customers. At this time, the lights in the front hall are off, and there are two or three white-clothed figures busy in the back kitchen.
Bai San didn't know where to go, the dog-walking brigade was not dispatched, and the elderly were nowhere to be seen, so he walked aimlessly along the street.
At the intersection, on the opposite side of the red light, there is only a rusty blue truck waiting on Nuoda Street.
Qingyuan, Lengji, the wind is cool.
Bai San was also waiting at the crossroads. He wanted to go to the opposite side. He remembered that someone had said that there was a park over there.
In the morning before the college entrance examination, there was nothing related to study in his mind, as if he had forgotten everything.
Think about what to have for breakfast.He wondered if Jiang An would leave today, and how he would spend the whole summer vacation after the exam.
He thought about a bunch of messy things, and when he raised his head to radiate his thoughts, he saw a grayish-white sky with half of the moon hanging, small and half hidden in the clouds.
The direction of the moon is where he is going, and I don't know which is the coincidence.Bai San looked up at the moon all the way, followed the moon all the way, and walked westward.
The more you look at it, the farther you feel, the more quiet and beautiful it becomes.
After being self-willed, it was already seven o'clock in the morning when he returned home.
Jiang An was wearing a formal suit, his hair was carefully styled, and there was a faint smell of aftershave in the air. He wore a pair of glasses and sat on a chair to read a newspaper.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he raised his eyes and asked, "Where did you go?"
Bai San rubbed his nose, "Just go around."
Sure enough, he was still in a hurry when he left just now, he sighed in his heart, leaned against the door to change into the duckling slippers, just got up and was bumped by the little milk dog who rushed over, and then he rubbed his bowl with his mouth His trouser legs wanted to climb up.
Bai San resignedly took the little milk dog's bowl and poured dog food for it every day.
"Just now, I was thinking of going with you." Jiang An, who was concentrating on reading the newspaper, suddenly said when he was squatting down to feed the puppy.
Bai San was startled, shook the can of dog food in his hand, and spilled a few grains, the little milk dog gave him a nod, and stuck out his tongue to lick his hand.
Only then did he come to his senses, Bai San turned his head to look at Jiang An, through the newspaper, he couldn't see any expression.
"...You can call me." He tried his best to keep the corners of his mouth upturned, squatting on the ground and hugging his arms to watch the little milk dog eating happily, and said solemnly.
After two seconds of silence, Jiang An said, "I've done it."
Ah?
Then why didn't I receive...
Bai San suddenly turned his head and looked up at the river bank. In his half-smile expression, he blinked blankly, and put his hand into his pocket.
It was empty.
Go back to three hours ago.
He took his mobile phone, knelt down to put on his shoes, and it was inconvenient to tie his shoelaces, so he put the mobile phone on the shoe cabinet, then opened the door and walked into the corridor, closed the door and stepped sideways on the walking ladder in one go.
And the forgotten mobile phone is still lying quietly on the shoe cabinet at this time.
Bai San slowly buried his head in his arms, the roots of his ears were hot, as if he had crawled into a seam in the ground.
Today's breakfast is still a small sweet bun that suits his taste, three strawberries, and a cup of soy milk.
After shutting himself in the bathroom to calm down for half an hour, Bai San finally plucked up the courage to come to Jiang An again.He sat on the chair opposite the river bank, looked up at the little milk dog who was eating the second bowl of rice, and lowered his head to poke the white and fat purple potato buns on the plate.
After three strawberries and only three strawberry stalks remained, he touched his stomach, propped his head up and sipped the soy milk bit by bit, with a sleepy look and no appetite.
"Eat at least half a purple sweet potato bun." Jiang An said after taking a sip of tea and wiping the corners of his lips.
Bai San gave a muffled "Oh" and just agreed not to do it.He misses the breakfast stand in front of the school very much.
Fried rice, pancakes, fried tofu sticks...no matter what it is, it is much more fragrant than purple sweet potato buns.
The usual breakfast is not without these, but the rice filling is too light, the pancakes with pancakes are like finger pancakes, the tofu has no soybeans in it, and the fried dough sticks are as small as baguette puffs...
No matter how the raw material is improved, or how he processes it, it always feels wrong and lacks that taste.
"Mr. Jiang, have you ever eaten Mrs. Cao's pancakes?" Bai San asked maliciously, lying on the table with his head sideways.
"Aunt Cao's pancake fruit" is a breakfast stand that is regularly placed at the gate of his school. The cake is big and full of fillings. It comes with a cup of soy milk for free. Many teachers in the school rarely know about it, and it is impossible for Jiang An to eat it.
People depend on food, and Bai San intends to use all his life's knowledge to describe the delicious pancakes and fruits to Jiang An. If Jiang An becomes interested and his heart is moved, he may be able to escape from the sea of suffering today.
Jiang An didn't speak, he pushed the plate away a little, and looked at Bai San leisurely, with an air of listening attentively.
He didn't say a word, there was no expression on his face, and his eyes were only faint, Bai San's heart skipped a beat, with an inexplicable intuition of being seen through.
The purple sweet potato bun had already been poked into a strange thing with small holes all over his body, so he simply pushed it away, Bai San carefully drank the soy milk to suppress his shock, put down the glass, puffed out his chest, and said softly with his neck in his throat.
"Today I take the college entrance examination."
Jiang An smiled slightly, stroking the teacup with one hand, "So?"
"So," Bai San sniffed, shrinking his neck, "I want to eat Mrs. Cao's pancake fruit."
Although Jiang An didn't open his mouth to refuse, Bai San already knew through his eyes that it was impossible.
He slumped on the chair and fell into autism, looking enviously at the little milk dog who was happily eating dog food, with a look of despair, diluting the tension brought about by the college entrance examination a few hours later, he did not expect Mr. Jiang to be like this Mr. Jiang.
Regarding the food stalls on the street, Jiang An couldn't let go of his mind. He attributed it to the fact that he was in his father's hospital, and he witnessed many patients eating indiscriminately on the street and making them seriously ill.
Later, a classmate who worked in a news agency broke the news that nine out of ten food stalls looked clean on the outside and tasted delicious, but in fact they were just peaceful on the outside. Ordinary people couldn’t imagine how dirty the backside was and how many ingredients were used. chaos.
It doesn't matter how picky eaters children are, as long as they don't touch those messy things outside.
So no matter what the child says, his attitude will never soften, this is the bottom line.
Jiang An was unmoved when he saw the child acting like a baby...
An hour later, at the gate of the school.
Bai San smiled and took the pancake fruit from Aunt Cao's hand, turned his head and rubbed his head to Jiang An's side, and held up the delicious pancake fruit to Jiang An as if offering a treasure, his eyes sparkling.
"Mr. Jiang, the pancakes here are really delicious. Do you want to have a bite?"
"..."
Jiang An expressionlessly chewed the pancake fruit in his mouth, looked in the rearview mirror at the happy kid, and closed his eyes.
Careless.
The fans in the classroom kept shaking and buzzing, the trees outside the building were lush green, cast into the ground through the windows to form a pool of slightly deep water shadows, and occasionally the sunlight pierced through, shining like hard gems.
Bai San lowered his head in an environment that was supposed to be so ordinary that he couldn't arouse any emotions, but now it seemed like a world away, and wrote down the future he wanted to reach with the pen in his hand.
In the long and quiet day, the sound of the paper flipping by my ear and the rustling of the brush strokes became the flash memory left by the college entrance examination that year.
On the first day of Baisan's college entrance examination, Jiang An didn't leave, and he stayed there for the next few days. It wasn't because of the delay of the plane, he realized it later.
After the last exam, he was stopped by Jiang Lele before he left the school.
"How is it? I couldn't answer a question at the end. I was so angry that I couldn't remember anything." Jiang Lele broke down, clutching the empty water bottle tightly in his hand, passing by two trash cans. Forget to throw.
Bai San took the badly clutched water bottle from her hand, threw it into the trash can, looked at the cloudless sky, thought for a while, and comforted her softly.
"It's just a small question. Even if you are very sure and solve it, you may be wrong in the end. Put it in the inevitable loss item, and it is within your expectations."
Jiang Lele stopped, and after a while, looked in another direction, still nodded depressedly, and admitted, "You're right."
"And it's already passed. It's useless to regret it any more. It will only make you stuck in the same place and can't get out."
Jiang Lele sighed, wanting to cry but without tears, walked through the bustling students, forgot about it when he got out of the teaching building, and turned to ask Bai San how he was doing in the exam, which was also a big heart.
Maybe it was because he did too many questions some time ago, and Bai San habitually answered the questions written in his pen one by one, without thinking about anything, feeling nothing, all he had to say was that he really wanted to see Jiang An.
In the evening, we will eat mango panji, poplar nectar, purple rice cake with coconut milk...
"Then you are stable this time, right?" Jiang Lele said with a sour face.
Bai San smiled, "Even if it's unstable, I can't help it."
After leaving the school, a few security guards pulled the cordon and stood firmly at the school gate.The steps of the shops on the left and right sides of the school were full of parents waiting for the students to come out, craning their necks to look at the crowd.Across the road, volunteer service stations lined up one after another.
Bai San walked out from the crowd, crossed the road, and saw Jiang An waiting in the car.
The air conditioner was turned on in the car, and it was on the highest gear, but it still couldn't resist the heat. Even if it was Jiang'an, sweat oozes from his forehead.Bai San leaned over to the car window, didn't go in, didn't wait for Jiang An to speak, he said "Go buy a bottle of water, I'll be right back", turned around, and ran away.
The sweltering summer wind blows over the cheeks, blowing the loose long-sleeved shirt into a bag, a bit like a tortoise shell.
Bai San raised his hand and wiped his sweat-soaked hair back, squeezed through the crowd, went to the small shop that he had just visited yesterday, and bought a bottle of chilled durian-flavored sparkling water for the old man.
It's delicious, although it smells bad.
There are a lot of people in the small store. There are parents who bring their children to buy sausages, passers-by who are too hot to use the roof to cool off at the store entrance, and candidates who don’t want to go home after the exam and discuss where to go to play. .
Bai San waited in line behind a tall man to pay. He pinched the cap of the bottle of sparkling water, and from time to time put one finger on the body of the bottle to check the temperature.
I didn't dare to take anything that was too cold, for fear that the old man wouldn't be able to stand it.Although the weather is hot, within a few minutes, as long as there is no hot thing to touch, it should not return to normal temperature soon.
The man in front bought a lot of things, and it seemed that he was going to have a picnic while the weather was just right.
Bai San shook his head, tilted his neck, stood on tiptoes, lowered his head and raised it again, turning around in a boring way, looking east and west.
He wondered if Jiang An would be anxious to wait, and wondered if the sparkling water would have been assimilated by Xia Tian when he returned, making it no different from normal temperature.Then he can change the bottle at the checkout and get a cool one from the freezer...
Inevitably, when Bai San turned around and faced the windowless wall, he saw a poster.
"No.12 Battlefield Global League Opening Soon! "
But unlike yesterday, a new poster was added next to it.
"Team 1E recruits young trainees from the battlefield division"
Bai San slightly opened his eyes wide, and stopped for a second while idly shaking his arms shaking the bubble water.
After half a cup of tea, the man in front of him left with a big bag and a small bag. The shop owner greeted Bai San and asked, "Do you need anything else?" Shaking his head, he took out some change to pay the bill.
It was a place he had wanted to go.
A few candidates who knew each other came into the store, shoulder to shoulder, and came over. Compared with Bai San, they paid more attention to "Battlefield".
As soon as he entered, his eyes immediately fell on the wall, as if he walked in along the way, just to see what new information the shop owner had posted.
As soon as they saw the announcement of 1E's recruitment of youth trainees, as expected, they chatted with each other.
Bai San didn't want to hear it very much, he was hopeless, and the more he knew, the more he regretted.But the voices of those boys were too loud.
"Look, I guessed right, 1E will recruit new players sooner or later."
"Heh, this is the first time you were fooled by a blind cat and a dead mouse. Last time, you said that you had some inside news and you were going to take a half-day vacation temporarily. Why is there nothing wrong with it?"
"How can it be compared? It's like a weather forecast. Besides, isn't the exam already over now? Isn't it fun for a summer vacation? I heard from my cousin that the news of 1E's recruitment of new recruits began to spread in the circle four or five years ago. But there have been no good seedlings, and Epoch's condition is still good, so he suppressed it and has been taking it easy. Now it seems that once a successor is found, he may retire directly."
"Hey, you said, this league was suddenly delayed for a week, and it hasn't started yet. Is it because Epoch has passed his golden age, his condition is not good, and there are some problems with his body."
"I haven't heard of it, I dare not say it, but look abroad, there are a lot of grandpas and grandmas over 60 years old to play e-sports in groups, the strength is not inferior to the young people, what awards do they have?" . Epoch's so many years are not in vain, the state must be good, but after the golden age, the strength must have declined to some extent."
"I think, 1E, there haven't been any newcomers for so many years, and it's all relying on Epoch to carry it. Some accidents are inevitable. The eleventh competition is fixed before the college entrance examination. This year, it was suddenly moved to after the college entrance examination. For whatever reason, I sent out the sentence 'I wish the title of the gold list' and it passed, what is this?"
"When you put it this way, I also think that the title of "Battlefield" was made by Epoch back then. Without him, the official game would have closed down long ago. This time, something happened to him and he couldn't participate in time, which led to the postponement of this tournament. It's normal. But if you look at it this way, and with the recruitment of youth trainees, 1E is really struggling to survive. Isn't there news that Epoch will announce his retirement after this league is over? He hasn't fallen for so many years, no Easy, not easy."
The boys looked at the posters on the wall and suddenly laughed, their voices getting louder and louder.
"...This is six yuan for you... child? Child?" The shop owner raised his hand and waved in front of Bai San, "take the money."
He paused, slowly loosened his clenched hands, turned around, took the money and thanked the boss, took two steps, and looked straight at the boys with a loud voice.
"1E won't fall."
The boy wearing the earphones was startled for a moment, and was instantly happy when he saw him.
"If you say you won't fall, you won't fall? Do you think you are the Heavenly King Lao Tzu or the Jade Emperor?"
As early as when they first came in, a few students who were choosing in the store put down their products and left in a few steps.At this time, the people around also quickly settled their bills and avoided them one after another.
In less than 1 minute, the store changed from crowded to empty.
Bai San looked at them seriously for a while, and glanced at the scar on the cheekbones left by the earphone man, only to realize that they looked familiar. He remembered that they had colluded with people outside the school to fight, and the school had notified them many times.
The shop owner tugged at him, shook his head slightly, and vaguely reminded him not to provoke him.Bai San pursed his lips, and tightly pinched the cap of the sparkling water bottle with his thumb and index finger hanging down.
Facing the disdainful eyes of those boys, he did not avoid his eyes, and repeated some more, his voice was more firm and blunt than before.
"1E won't fall."
Those boys turned their heads and looked at each other for a few moments, and smiled "puchi". Said "1E will not fall".
In just a few words, his tone turned eighteen corners, absurd and weird.
Bai San frowned, no matter what he heard, he was about to speak.
A "stab" sound pierced the silent air.
The man with the earphones picked up a corner of the unglued 1E recruitment poster for youth trainees, and tore it apart forcefully. The other side of the poster, which was firmly stuck to the wall, remained indifferent, and a complete piece of paper was torn apart.
What happened in the blink of an eye has repeated itself countless times in Bai San's heart.
"Do you believe it or not? Like this poster," the earphone man smiled happily, pinched the half of the poster, and tore it into smaller pieces, "1E will fall, be ruined, and crawl Don't get it, this is their future. In the professional circle, who is not waiting for Epoch to retire, and the family dominates. That's a good idea, tsk tsk... If you don't believe me, just wait, just watch this league. what's the name?"
The earphone man's eyes were full of disdain.
"The battle of killing gods."
As if he didn't hear it, Bai San lowered his head, only saw the torn poster in his eyes, the word "1E" fell apart, and he rushed to grab it.
The sparkling water fell on the ground, and countless small bubbles suddenly turned into waves. It is already close to normal temperature, and it must no longer taste good.
He couldn't understand why the league was postponed, couldn't imagine the current situation of Epoch, and couldn't describe the impact, like thousands of meteorites flying into the sky with fire, shaking the sky.
After the exam, the students at the school gate gradually dispersed, and Jiang An looked down at his watch again.
Five twenty.
Said that Bai San, who will be back soon, has gone for almost half an hour and has not returned, nor does he answer the phone
Jiang An leaned on the seat, took a few deep breaths, guessed that Bai San might have met a friend or classmate he knew, and chatted for a while without paying attention to the time.Or it happened that something happened and I couldn't get away temporarily.
For example, the water in the small shop is sold out, and you have to go around to other places. For example, you accidentally lost your mobile phone and are looking back and forth along the side of the road.
He quietly watched the second hand go around a few times, opened the door and got out of the car.
Before leaving, Bai San said to buy water. There are not many small shops in front of the school, one on each side. He recalled that when Bai San left, he turned to the east and directly locked the small shop on the left side of the school.
In the evening, it was the rush hour for commuting. He stood on the side of the road, waiting for the signal light to turn green, and the long traffic flow flashed by. When it stopped again, he was about to step up. With a few scraps of paper.
Under the soft and long dusk in the northern city, Xiao Xiaoyi, a child who wrapped himself up tightly, didn't see him.He looks down as he walks,
Fortunately, Bai San just wanted to regret it, and he was not very serious when he mentioned it habitually. He must do what he wants to do. He also knew that this kind of request was very unreasonable.
"Then can you bring me some delicious snacks?"
Jiang An responded immediately, and at the same time reminded him to eat well.
Yes, besides breakfast, Baisan doesn't even taste good at lunch and dinner. He often messes with a few mouthfuls, and then eats some fruits and snacks in a mess.
In the first two months of living in Jiang An's house, he ate the dishes and delicious soup made by Jiang An every day, and he was still very happy until this kind of life lasted for half a year.
Now he is tired of seeing this kind of carefully prepared food, and misses the food stall in front of the school more and more, but he can barely give Jiang An a face, after all, he made it with his own hands, and he will thank Mr. Jiang in his heart every meal , In order to move myself, I ate a whole bowl slowly.
Until he woke up one morning and saw a staff member delivering all kinds of semi-finished food into his refrigerator, while Jiang An only needed to heat it up and serve it on the table. A five-year-old child could do such a simple thing.
Therefore, although each meal changes with different dishes, soups and desserts, it is even more abundant when the college entrance examination is approaching. Bai San is only interested in desserts, and the staple food basically does not change.
Jiang An had a headache, and Jiang An was also very stubborn, and he firmly disagreed with Baisan ordering takeout and eating food from the food trucks wandering the streets and alleys.
Bai San sighed and spread out on the dining chair, poked a piece of strawberry and chewed it slowly, as if eating delicacies from mountains and seas.
Regarding the fact that Jiang An is about to go on a business trip for nearly a month, he is actually sad and happy, so many delicacies are waiting for him, probably he and Jiang Lele and Zhao Pangzi ate for a month, and he was satisfied, enough, Jiang An also came back.
Jiang'an and Jiangshan cannot have both, on this night when they are about to part, Bai San realizes that he chooses Jiangshan.
The newly rented house is not big, with three bedrooms, two bathrooms and one living room, without the luxurious screening room before.
After dinner, Bai San and Jiang An leaned on the sofa and watched a movie. When they tilted their heads, they could see the lights not far from the floor-to-ceiling windows, accompanied by the long chirping of cicadas, thick trees, and summer night.
The plane at two o'clock in the morning, no matter how close the home is to the airport, Jiang An should leave at twelve o'clock to avoid missing the plane.Bai San will take the college entrance examination tomorrow, and normally he would go to bed early, but when he got home in the afternoon, he accidentally fell asleep, and this night, he felt a little refreshed.
It's hard to say who was with whom, they watched a movie and didn't move.
At ten o'clock, in the ending song, Bai San shook his feet, pillowed on Jiang An's lap, raised his face and looked at him without blinking.
"I remember watching a movie many years ago. There was a plot in the movie. The father and son were talking homely together. At the same time, the father cooked a bowl of noodles for the son. The son didn't eat it and was busy I went out to do some errands. When I came back in the afternoon, my father jumped off the building, and my son sat alone at the table eating the bowl of noodles that had fallen off."
At this time, it is a bit strange to talk about this kind of movie, but just now Bai San suddenly came to mind, maybe the plot had a great impact on him when he was young at that time, which caused him to think about it for many years.
It was obviously a movie that I hadn't watched in its entirety, and I forgot where I saw it, but I couldn't forget it no matter what.
He looked at Jiang An expectantly, not knowing why, but he always believed that what he would not do, Jiang An would definitely do, and what he did not know, Jiang An would definitely know.
Facts have proved that this kind of unreasonable belief is blind, and Jiang An does not know which movie he is talking about, it is too general, and there are too many movies.
But Jiang An is still omnipotent and worthy of unconditional trust.
After less than 10 minutes of searching the Internet, Jiang An found the movie.
After many years, I watch it again, old movies, many plots and character settings are incomprehensible now, some are inexplicable.It's like looking at a non-mainstream that would have been cool a few years ago with the eyes of today.
The film is not as profound as Bai San imagined, it is just the joys and sorrows of a family, but the ending is happy.This time, forget about a knot buried in Bai San's heart.
At a quarter to twelve, the ending song ended, and the still screen glowed with blue fluorescence. Jiang An glanced at his watch and stroked his white hair.
"Go back to your room and sleep."
Then Jiang An should go.
Bai San bit his lower lip and remained motionless. After a while, he got up, moved to the place where he fell asleep in the afternoon, turned his face, and looked at the dim tree shadows gathered in the dark night outside the French windows.
"I dont want to sleep."
Jiang An only thought that he was still being coquettish, lowered his eyes, and twitched the corners of his lips, "Be good, isn't there an exam tomorrow?"
"Then can I tonight..." Bai San turned his head and said slowly, "Just sleep on the sofa."
"No, go back to the room and sleep." Jiang An gave the answer without hesitation.
Bai San puffed his cheeks, responded with a muffled sound, looked at the little milk dog who had just woken up, and stuck out his tongue.He jumped off the sofa, pulled on the duckling slippers, dawdled by the window, raised his head, and whispered to himself.
"Today's moon is so round, maybe it can absorb the essence of the moonlight after drying it in the sun, and bless me with a smooth exam tomorrow... Oh, forget it, Mr. Jiang is still there, so I have to wait for him to leave and I will come back, I hope that time will come." The moon is as round as it is now..."
Hearing Bai San's words, Jiang An chuckled lightly, raised his hand and tugged the bear ears on his pajama hat, what a strange child.
"Can I sleep well on the sofa?"
Bai San nodded vigorously, "I can sleep well anywhere, and if I change to a sofa, my mood will be very good."
With Jiang An's permission, Bai San happily ran back to the bedroom, took a small pillow and summer quilt, put them on the sofa, and got in by himself, then revealed a small head and looked at Jiang An motionlessly, blinking his eyes , filled with light.
Because of the weather, Jiang An's plane was delayed, Bai San shared half of the pillows, lay on the sofa with Jiang An, and slept in the living room.
Before going to bed, out of inertia, he huddled his head under the quilt, his hair rubbed against Jiang An's collar, and muttered to himself again.
"It would be nice if there was someone beside me when I woke up again."
However, he thought, around four o'clock in the morning, Jiang An would board a plane and head to a strange country he had never been to.Bai San knew that Jiang An was very busy, and this matter was also very important to him.
So this sentence is just mentioned casually, complaining about the bad weather is common, knowing that there will be no change.When he wakes up tomorrow morning, he will be left alone in the house, along with a little puppy who has been extremely sleepy lately.
The next time I see Jiang An again, I'm afraid it will be a month later.
Jiang An took it for granted that Baisan complained with small grievances, which had gradually developed into a mantra these days, and didn't say anything, but raised his arm and stroked his hair as a comfort.
"Go to sleep."
Bai San nestled under the quilt, turned his head to the side, looked at the shadow of the tree outside the window, and let out a muffled "hmm".
In the darkness, he quietly stretched out his hand from under the quilt, slowly approached the river bank, and slowly moved towards him bit by bit.Arms dangled in the gap between the sofas, crossed the soft fabric, warmed up slightly, and finally held Jiang An's hand, only one little finger, and held it tightly.
As if Jiang An didn't notice it, Bai San changed into a comfortable posture, facing up, with the faint moonlight, he could still see the blurred lines of Jiang An's face from the corner of his eye, slightly cold.
After a while, Bai San, who was pretending to be asleep with his eyes closed, received Jiang An's kiss on his forehead, and the grasped palm turned over, covering the back of his hand, and gradually tightened.
The strength is neither light nor heavy, and it will not be ignored. It is a very stable feeling like a summer wind blowing gently.
Even if ignorance will be withdrawn in the middle of the night.
Bai San pursed the corners of his mouth contentedly, trying his best to act like a sleeping person.Those chaotic thoughts also gradually sank in this silent night, accompanied by the gentle breathing of the people around them, peaceful and secure.
Wake up.
Before his vision and hearing came back to life, he raised his hand and rubbed his eyes in a hazy state of consciousness. Immediately, something fell from his hand and waved in the air in a parabola.
Bai San didn't draw the curtains before going to bed. At this time, taking advantage of the gray sky with a bit of blue tone before dawn, Bai San saw the little milk dog crawling up and lying in front of him in the middle of the night. When standing next to him, he used the sofa cushion to support himself with his hands facing back, and his upper body would not rise.
In a daze, he blinked and froze.
It is a more vivid prediction in my heart than finishing a test paper with full confidence, and before the results are announced, it is expected and has some uneasiness that accidents may happen.
Taking a deep breath, Bai San is determined to accept all possibilities, neither expecting nor disappointed, it doesn't matter whether he stays or goes.He held the edge of the quilt tightly, turned his face slightly, and looked to the side.
There was a large potted plant in the corner, a fig tree, and the bare branches in the daytime cast a few slender black shadows, which fell on the floor glowing with faint moonlight, elongated and thickened, like a child It's just as fun to doodle.
Bai San's gaze shifted from the floor to the low table. There was an unfinished fruit platter, two-thirds of which were his favorite strawberries, mixed with three or four pieces of Sydney.
In sight, there are slippers that are half the size of his duckling, a corner of the blanket that is hanging down, and Jiang An lying sideways on the sofa.
His gaze was gone as soon as he touched it, Bai San turned his head, lowered his eyes slightly, and watched the little milk dog stretch his short legs comfortably, and his warm belly rose and fell with his breathing.
After a while, he let go of the corner of the quilt that he was holding tightly in his hand, stroked the crooked wrinkles that formed in just a few seconds, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
At 04:30 in the morning, the dark sky was cloudy.Bai San hugged the little milk dog aside, and lightly got off the sofa. He was wearing pajamas printed with little white bear patterns, and stretched himself in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows.
When he looked back, he saw that Jiang An hadn't woken up, and there was a gap between the little finger and the remaining four fingers of the fallen palm, which was separated by inertia. Someone needed to grab something.
When Bai San washed up, changed into the clothes he was going out, walked out of the room, and was about to put on his sneakers, he realized that Jiang An had already woken up. He looked at the clock hanging on the wall, and after Bai San paused, he followed suit. His eyes looked together.
It was a quarter to five.
When he turned around again, he saw Jiang An with his eyes half closed, leaning on the sofa and watching him, his voice slightly hoarse.
"It's so early, where are you going?"
Bai San pursed his lips, raised his arm and pointed at the little puppy that was still lying on the sofa, like a little puppy who couldn't wake up no matter how much he slept, he replied in a low voice, "Walk the dog."
It is obviously too early now. Although it is the time when dog lovers generally take their dogs for a walk, it does not include Baisan.
In the past, his normal dog walking time was after breakfast and before lunch, between nine and twelve in the morning.
Today he suddenly got up earlier than Jiang An, so it was really rare to catch up with the dog walking team.
It's just that when he woke up, Bai San stood in front of the window and looked out at the city that was still dark in the night, and suddenly wanted to go out for a walk.Take a breath of fresh air in the early morning, and after passing through the dew-condensed spring trees and grass at night, the streets and alleys at four or five o'clock should also be interesting.
This urge to open the door and go out for a walk came in vain, when there were only four hours left before the college entrance examination.
Bai San knew that he shouldn't do this. The correct way is to take a good rest and sleep for a while, so as not to get sleepy in the next exam and not be able to concentrate on the questions, which may eventually lead to a regrettable score.
Or taking advantage of this time, it is also very good to flip through the book, and then consolidate the knowledge points that are not solid. The efficiency of memorizing things in the morning is the most efficient. Maybe if you flip through accidentally, you will be able to pass the exam by then and get a few points. .In fact, even if you already have an idea in mind, reading it again, An Anxin, is a more correct decision than going out for a walk with the dog.
But knowing is one thing, doing is another, Bai San knew that he was a little willful, but facing Jiang An, he stuck out his tongue without any psychological burden.
Jiang An pinched the bridge of his nose, worried, "Let him sleep late today, don't take a walk."
As if he could hear Jiang An's words, the little milk dog in his sleep moved his ears and moved a little towards him. If it wasn't for one of his paws to catch the blanket, he would be very well-behaved.
Bai San lowered his eyes, scratched his fingers behind his back, and resolutely refused, "It hasn't been out at four or five in the morning." Moreover, a good puppy cannot stay in bed.
Jiang An lowered his head and pulled the little milk dog's paws off the blanket. Hearing this, he just laughed silently.
"Wait until after the college entrance examination. Then, you can take it out in the early morning to experience it."
But after the college entrance examination, he didn't want to get up early again, wishing to sleep until twelve o'clock at noon.
Bai San grabbed his cuff and shook his head. After thinking for a few seconds, he took a step back, "Then I won't take the puppy with me. I'll go out for a walk by myself."
"It's too early, the sky is still dark, and there are not many people on the street," Jiang An said helplessly, "Even if you want to go for a walk, you have to wait another two hours."
At this time, Bai San yearns for freedom very much, hoping that Jiang An left last night.
"I'll be right back, nothing will happen." Leaving the last sentence, Bai San put on his sneakers, opened and closed the door, and ran up the walking ladder in one go.
Until he left the community and walked on the empty streets, he didn't ask Jiang An why he didn't leave last night, didn't he have important things to do, and why he suddenly changed his mind.
Even if the plane is delayed, with Jiang An's ability and the importance level set a month in advance, it shouldn't be so easy to change it.
The answer was ready to come out, Bai San ruffled his hair, and the pebbles on the side of the road were kicked away one by one, not sure.
Sure enough, as Jiang An said, it was still too early, and the one or two people we would meet on the road were also sanitation workers in bright orange overalls.
The street lights were still on, and the street was melted in a dim soft yellow light. It was clearly early in the morning, but it was like night.
On weekdays, the breakfast restaurant is always full of customers. At this time, the lights in the front hall are off, and there are two or three white-clothed figures busy in the back kitchen.
Bai San didn't know where to go, the dog-walking brigade was not dispatched, and the elderly were nowhere to be seen, so he walked aimlessly along the street.
At the intersection, on the opposite side of the red light, there is only a rusty blue truck waiting on Nuoda Street.
Qingyuan, Lengji, the wind is cool.
Bai San was also waiting at the crossroads. He wanted to go to the opposite side. He remembered that someone had said that there was a park over there.
In the morning before the college entrance examination, there was nothing related to study in his mind, as if he had forgotten everything.
Think about what to have for breakfast.He wondered if Jiang An would leave today, and how he would spend the whole summer vacation after the exam.
He thought about a bunch of messy things, and when he raised his head to radiate his thoughts, he saw a grayish-white sky with half of the moon hanging, small and half hidden in the clouds.
The direction of the moon is where he is going, and I don't know which is the coincidence.Bai San looked up at the moon all the way, followed the moon all the way, and walked westward.
The more you look at it, the farther you feel, the more quiet and beautiful it becomes.
After being self-willed, it was already seven o'clock in the morning when he returned home.
Jiang An was wearing a formal suit, his hair was carefully styled, and there was a faint smell of aftershave in the air. He wore a pair of glasses and sat on a chair to read a newspaper.
Hearing the sound of the door opening, he raised his eyes and asked, "Where did you go?"
Bai San rubbed his nose, "Just go around."
Sure enough, he was still in a hurry when he left just now, he sighed in his heart, leaned against the door to change into the duckling slippers, just got up and was bumped by the little milk dog who rushed over, and then he rubbed his bowl with his mouth His trouser legs wanted to climb up.
Bai San resignedly took the little milk dog's bowl and poured dog food for it every day.
"Just now, I was thinking of going with you." Jiang An, who was concentrating on reading the newspaper, suddenly said when he was squatting down to feed the puppy.
Bai San was startled, shook the can of dog food in his hand, and spilled a few grains, the little milk dog gave him a nod, and stuck out his tongue to lick his hand.
Only then did he come to his senses, Bai San turned his head to look at Jiang An, through the newspaper, he couldn't see any expression.
"...You can call me." He tried his best to keep the corners of his mouth upturned, squatting on the ground and hugging his arms to watch the little milk dog eating happily, and said solemnly.
After two seconds of silence, Jiang An said, "I've done it."
Ah?
Then why didn't I receive...
Bai San suddenly turned his head and looked up at the river bank. In his half-smile expression, he blinked blankly, and put his hand into his pocket.
It was empty.
Go back to three hours ago.
He took his mobile phone, knelt down to put on his shoes, and it was inconvenient to tie his shoelaces, so he put the mobile phone on the shoe cabinet, then opened the door and walked into the corridor, closed the door and stepped sideways on the walking ladder in one go.
And the forgotten mobile phone is still lying quietly on the shoe cabinet at this time.
Bai San slowly buried his head in his arms, the roots of his ears were hot, as if he had crawled into a seam in the ground.
Today's breakfast is still a small sweet bun that suits his taste, three strawberries, and a cup of soy milk.
After shutting himself in the bathroom to calm down for half an hour, Bai San finally plucked up the courage to come to Jiang An again.He sat on the chair opposite the river bank, looked up at the little milk dog who was eating the second bowl of rice, and lowered his head to poke the white and fat purple potato buns on the plate.
After three strawberries and only three strawberry stalks remained, he touched his stomach, propped his head up and sipped the soy milk bit by bit, with a sleepy look and no appetite.
"Eat at least half a purple sweet potato bun." Jiang An said after taking a sip of tea and wiping the corners of his lips.
Bai San gave a muffled "Oh" and just agreed not to do it.He misses the breakfast stand in front of the school very much.
Fried rice, pancakes, fried tofu sticks...no matter what it is, it is much more fragrant than purple sweet potato buns.
The usual breakfast is not without these, but the rice filling is too light, the pancakes with pancakes are like finger pancakes, the tofu has no soybeans in it, and the fried dough sticks are as small as baguette puffs...
No matter how the raw material is improved, or how he processes it, it always feels wrong and lacks that taste.
"Mr. Jiang, have you ever eaten Mrs. Cao's pancakes?" Bai San asked maliciously, lying on the table with his head sideways.
"Aunt Cao's pancake fruit" is a breakfast stand that is regularly placed at the gate of his school. The cake is big and full of fillings. It comes with a cup of soy milk for free. Many teachers in the school rarely know about it, and it is impossible for Jiang An to eat it.
People depend on food, and Bai San intends to use all his life's knowledge to describe the delicious pancakes and fruits to Jiang An. If Jiang An becomes interested and his heart is moved, he may be able to escape from the sea of suffering today.
Jiang An didn't speak, he pushed the plate away a little, and looked at Bai San leisurely, with an air of listening attentively.
He didn't say a word, there was no expression on his face, and his eyes were only faint, Bai San's heart skipped a beat, with an inexplicable intuition of being seen through.
The purple sweet potato bun had already been poked into a strange thing with small holes all over his body, so he simply pushed it away, Bai San carefully drank the soy milk to suppress his shock, put down the glass, puffed out his chest, and said softly with his neck in his throat.
"Today I take the college entrance examination."
Jiang An smiled slightly, stroking the teacup with one hand, "So?"
"So," Bai San sniffed, shrinking his neck, "I want to eat Mrs. Cao's pancake fruit."
Although Jiang An didn't open his mouth to refuse, Bai San already knew through his eyes that it was impossible.
He slumped on the chair and fell into autism, looking enviously at the little milk dog who was happily eating dog food, with a look of despair, diluting the tension brought about by the college entrance examination a few hours later, he did not expect Mr. Jiang to be like this Mr. Jiang.
Regarding the food stalls on the street, Jiang An couldn't let go of his mind. He attributed it to the fact that he was in his father's hospital, and he witnessed many patients eating indiscriminately on the street and making them seriously ill.
Later, a classmate who worked in a news agency broke the news that nine out of ten food stalls looked clean on the outside and tasted delicious, but in fact they were just peaceful on the outside. Ordinary people couldn’t imagine how dirty the backside was and how many ingredients were used. chaos.
It doesn't matter how picky eaters children are, as long as they don't touch those messy things outside.
So no matter what the child says, his attitude will never soften, this is the bottom line.
Jiang An was unmoved when he saw the child acting like a baby...
An hour later, at the gate of the school.
Bai San smiled and took the pancake fruit from Aunt Cao's hand, turned his head and rubbed his head to Jiang An's side, and held up the delicious pancake fruit to Jiang An as if offering a treasure, his eyes sparkling.
"Mr. Jiang, the pancakes here are really delicious. Do you want to have a bite?"
"..."
Jiang An expressionlessly chewed the pancake fruit in his mouth, looked in the rearview mirror at the happy kid, and closed his eyes.
Careless.
The fans in the classroom kept shaking and buzzing, the trees outside the building were lush green, cast into the ground through the windows to form a pool of slightly deep water shadows, and occasionally the sunlight pierced through, shining like hard gems.
Bai San lowered his head in an environment that was supposed to be so ordinary that he couldn't arouse any emotions, but now it seemed like a world away, and wrote down the future he wanted to reach with the pen in his hand.
In the long and quiet day, the sound of the paper flipping by my ear and the rustling of the brush strokes became the flash memory left by the college entrance examination that year.
On the first day of Baisan's college entrance examination, Jiang An didn't leave, and he stayed there for the next few days. It wasn't because of the delay of the plane, he realized it later.
After the last exam, he was stopped by Jiang Lele before he left the school.
"How is it? I couldn't answer a question at the end. I was so angry that I couldn't remember anything." Jiang Lele broke down, clutching the empty water bottle tightly in his hand, passing by two trash cans. Forget to throw.
Bai San took the badly clutched water bottle from her hand, threw it into the trash can, looked at the cloudless sky, thought for a while, and comforted her softly.
"It's just a small question. Even if you are very sure and solve it, you may be wrong in the end. Put it in the inevitable loss item, and it is within your expectations."
Jiang Lele stopped, and after a while, looked in another direction, still nodded depressedly, and admitted, "You're right."
"And it's already passed. It's useless to regret it any more. It will only make you stuck in the same place and can't get out."
Jiang Lele sighed, wanting to cry but without tears, walked through the bustling students, forgot about it when he got out of the teaching building, and turned to ask Bai San how he was doing in the exam, which was also a big heart.
Maybe it was because he did too many questions some time ago, and Bai San habitually answered the questions written in his pen one by one, without thinking about anything, feeling nothing, all he had to say was that he really wanted to see Jiang An.
In the evening, we will eat mango panji, poplar nectar, purple rice cake with coconut milk...
"Then you are stable this time, right?" Jiang Lele said with a sour face.
Bai San smiled, "Even if it's unstable, I can't help it."
After leaving the school, a few security guards pulled the cordon and stood firmly at the school gate.The steps of the shops on the left and right sides of the school were full of parents waiting for the students to come out, craning their necks to look at the crowd.Across the road, volunteer service stations lined up one after another.
Bai San walked out from the crowd, crossed the road, and saw Jiang An waiting in the car.
The air conditioner was turned on in the car, and it was on the highest gear, but it still couldn't resist the heat. Even if it was Jiang'an, sweat oozes from his forehead.Bai San leaned over to the car window, didn't go in, didn't wait for Jiang An to speak, he said "Go buy a bottle of water, I'll be right back", turned around, and ran away.
The sweltering summer wind blows over the cheeks, blowing the loose long-sleeved shirt into a bag, a bit like a tortoise shell.
Bai San raised his hand and wiped his sweat-soaked hair back, squeezed through the crowd, went to the small shop that he had just visited yesterday, and bought a bottle of chilled durian-flavored sparkling water for the old man.
It's delicious, although it smells bad.
There are a lot of people in the small store. There are parents who bring their children to buy sausages, passers-by who are too hot to use the roof to cool off at the store entrance, and candidates who don’t want to go home after the exam and discuss where to go to play. .
Bai San waited in line behind a tall man to pay. He pinched the cap of the bottle of sparkling water, and from time to time put one finger on the body of the bottle to check the temperature.
I didn't dare to take anything that was too cold, for fear that the old man wouldn't be able to stand it.Although the weather is hot, within a few minutes, as long as there is no hot thing to touch, it should not return to normal temperature soon.
The man in front bought a lot of things, and it seemed that he was going to have a picnic while the weather was just right.
Bai San shook his head, tilted his neck, stood on tiptoes, lowered his head and raised it again, turning around in a boring way, looking east and west.
He wondered if Jiang An would be anxious to wait, and wondered if the sparkling water would have been assimilated by Xia Tian when he returned, making it no different from normal temperature.Then he can change the bottle at the checkout and get a cool one from the freezer...
Inevitably, when Bai San turned around and faced the windowless wall, he saw a poster.
"No.12 Battlefield Global League Opening Soon! "
But unlike yesterday, a new poster was added next to it.
"Team 1E recruits young trainees from the battlefield division"
Bai San slightly opened his eyes wide, and stopped for a second while idly shaking his arms shaking the bubble water.
After half a cup of tea, the man in front of him left with a big bag and a small bag. The shop owner greeted Bai San and asked, "Do you need anything else?" Shaking his head, he took out some change to pay the bill.
It was a place he had wanted to go.
A few candidates who knew each other came into the store, shoulder to shoulder, and came over. Compared with Bai San, they paid more attention to "Battlefield".
As soon as he entered, his eyes immediately fell on the wall, as if he walked in along the way, just to see what new information the shop owner had posted.
As soon as they saw the announcement of 1E's recruitment of youth trainees, as expected, they chatted with each other.
Bai San didn't want to hear it very much, he was hopeless, and the more he knew, the more he regretted.But the voices of those boys were too loud.
"Look, I guessed right, 1E will recruit new players sooner or later."
"Heh, this is the first time you were fooled by a blind cat and a dead mouse. Last time, you said that you had some inside news and you were going to take a half-day vacation temporarily. Why is there nothing wrong with it?"
"How can it be compared? It's like a weather forecast. Besides, isn't the exam already over now? Isn't it fun for a summer vacation? I heard from my cousin that the news of 1E's recruitment of new recruits began to spread in the circle four or five years ago. But there have been no good seedlings, and Epoch's condition is still good, so he suppressed it and has been taking it easy. Now it seems that once a successor is found, he may retire directly."
"Hey, you said, this league was suddenly delayed for a week, and it hasn't started yet. Is it because Epoch has passed his golden age, his condition is not good, and there are some problems with his body."
"I haven't heard of it, I dare not say it, but look abroad, there are a lot of grandpas and grandmas over 60 years old to play e-sports in groups, the strength is not inferior to the young people, what awards do they have?" . Epoch's so many years are not in vain, the state must be good, but after the golden age, the strength must have declined to some extent."
"I think, 1E, there haven't been any newcomers for so many years, and it's all relying on Epoch to carry it. Some accidents are inevitable. The eleventh competition is fixed before the college entrance examination. This year, it was suddenly moved to after the college entrance examination. For whatever reason, I sent out the sentence 'I wish the title of the gold list' and it passed, what is this?"
"When you put it this way, I also think that the title of "Battlefield" was made by Epoch back then. Without him, the official game would have closed down long ago. This time, something happened to him and he couldn't participate in time, which led to the postponement of this tournament. It's normal. But if you look at it this way, and with the recruitment of youth trainees, 1E is really struggling to survive. Isn't there news that Epoch will announce his retirement after this league is over? He hasn't fallen for so many years, no Easy, not easy."
The boys looked at the posters on the wall and suddenly laughed, their voices getting louder and louder.
"...This is six yuan for you... child? Child?" The shop owner raised his hand and waved in front of Bai San, "take the money."
He paused, slowly loosened his clenched hands, turned around, took the money and thanked the boss, took two steps, and looked straight at the boys with a loud voice.
"1E won't fall."
The boy wearing the earphones was startled for a moment, and was instantly happy when he saw him.
"If you say you won't fall, you won't fall? Do you think you are the Heavenly King Lao Tzu or the Jade Emperor?"
As early as when they first came in, a few students who were choosing in the store put down their products and left in a few steps.At this time, the people around also quickly settled their bills and avoided them one after another.
In less than 1 minute, the store changed from crowded to empty.
Bai San looked at them seriously for a while, and glanced at the scar on the cheekbones left by the earphone man, only to realize that they looked familiar. He remembered that they had colluded with people outside the school to fight, and the school had notified them many times.
The shop owner tugged at him, shook his head slightly, and vaguely reminded him not to provoke him.Bai San pursed his lips, and tightly pinched the cap of the sparkling water bottle with his thumb and index finger hanging down.
Facing the disdainful eyes of those boys, he did not avoid his eyes, and repeated some more, his voice was more firm and blunt than before.
"1E won't fall."
Those boys turned their heads and looked at each other for a few moments, and smiled "puchi". Said "1E will not fall".
In just a few words, his tone turned eighteen corners, absurd and weird.
Bai San frowned, no matter what he heard, he was about to speak.
A "stab" sound pierced the silent air.
The man with the earphones picked up a corner of the unglued 1E recruitment poster for youth trainees, and tore it apart forcefully. The other side of the poster, which was firmly stuck to the wall, remained indifferent, and a complete piece of paper was torn apart.
What happened in the blink of an eye has repeated itself countless times in Bai San's heart.
"Do you believe it or not? Like this poster," the earphone man smiled happily, pinched the half of the poster, and tore it into smaller pieces, "1E will fall, be ruined, and crawl Don't get it, this is their future. In the professional circle, who is not waiting for Epoch to retire, and the family dominates. That's a good idea, tsk tsk... If you don't believe me, just wait, just watch this league. what's the name?"
The earphone man's eyes were full of disdain.
"The battle of killing gods."
As if he didn't hear it, Bai San lowered his head, only saw the torn poster in his eyes, the word "1E" fell apart, and he rushed to grab it.
The sparkling water fell on the ground, and countless small bubbles suddenly turned into waves. It is already close to normal temperature, and it must no longer taste good.
He couldn't understand why the league was postponed, couldn't imagine the current situation of Epoch, and couldn't describe the impact, like thousands of meteorites flying into the sky with fire, shaking the sky.
After the exam, the students at the school gate gradually dispersed, and Jiang An looked down at his watch again.
Five twenty.
Said that Bai San, who will be back soon, has gone for almost half an hour and has not returned, nor does he answer the phone
Jiang An leaned on the seat, took a few deep breaths, guessed that Bai San might have met a friend or classmate he knew, and chatted for a while without paying attention to the time.Or it happened that something happened and I couldn't get away temporarily.
For example, the water in the small shop is sold out, and you have to go around to other places. For example, you accidentally lost your mobile phone and are looking back and forth along the side of the road.
He quietly watched the second hand go around a few times, opened the door and got out of the car.
Before leaving, Bai San said to buy water. There are not many small shops in front of the school, one on each side. He recalled that when Bai San left, he turned to the east and directly locked the small shop on the left side of the school.
In the evening, it was the rush hour for commuting. He stood on the side of the road, waiting for the signal light to turn green, and the long traffic flow flashed by. When it stopped again, he was about to step up. With a few scraps of paper.
Under the soft and long dusk in the northern city, Xiao Xiaoyi, a child who wrapped himself up tightly, didn't see him.He looks down as he walks,
