silent age

At 09:30 in the evening, Jiang Ningyou, who was drinking coffee in the coffee shop, dialed Jiang Yijue's number. After the call was connected, she asked with a half smile, "Brother, are you okay?"

The other party was silent and said, "Jiang Ningyou."

"I think you have received the news, and now the Shanghai police are looking for you everywhere." Jiang Ningyou's words were full of sarcasm, "Brother, Jiang Shi, I will not be disrespectful. My sister, are you satisfied?"

Jiang Yijue didn't speak for a long time, Jiang Ningyou heard him take a heavy breath, and suddenly said with a cold smile: "In order to win Jiang, you would not hesitate to turn Jiang's world upside down, you are really ruthless. But Jiang Ningyou, do you think everything will really happen?" Is it as you wish?"

Amidst a burst of laughter, Jiang Yijue hung up the phone.

In less than half an hour, Jiang Ningyou received the news that Jiang's cash bank was empty, and the money in it had already been taken away by Jiang Yijue.

A sternness flashed in Jiang Ningyou's eyes, and she said in a deep voice to the person who called to inform the news: "Find him for me immediately!"

Not many people know about Jiang Yijue's purchase of land in Xishan, Shanghai to build the "Guqin Terrace" and the funeral of Xu Mu.Those who know are Jiang Yijue's most trusted people, and they will never leak the news easily.

When Bai Sihuan found this place, it was already 10:30 in the middle of the night.

Bai Sihuan had never been to the guqin stage in Jiangcheng, but he had heard Xu Mu's description.This place is not much different from what Xu Mu described, Bai Sihuan thought to himself, the real Guqin platform is almost like this.

It was empty and dark here, and no one else was seen, only an ever-burning lamp in the mourning hall hung with white cloth, and a man in a dark blue coat sat on a chair, looking at the portrait of the deceased with a bright smile on the altar, not moving for a long time.

The mourning hall was covered with renminbi, and the floor, tables, chairs, and almost empty places were all covered with renminbi.It is estimated that most of the money transported away from Jiang's cash bank is here.

Stepping into the mourning hall, Bai Sihuan looked at the lonely figure and called out: "Mr. Jiang."

Jiang Yijue didn't look back, and he could recognize the person by hearing the voice: "Why are you here?"

Bai Sihuan said "You go and surrender" on the lips, hesitated for a moment, but finally swallowed it, and then said: "You still have time to prepare the boat and escape."

Jiang Yijue sneered, as if a sarcasm squeezed out from the bottom of his throat: "It's so funny."

Bai Sihuan didn't understand what he was talking about, it was too funny.escape?Where are you now?Or let your subordinates sympathize?

It seems that no matter which aspect it is, for him who was still at the peak yesterday, everything that has happened at this moment is the most laughable point in his life.

At this moment, Bai Sihuan's mood was extremely complicated. According to Yu Gong, Jiang Yijue deserved what he deserved. He broke the law, did something wrong, and ended up in today's end. He doesn't deserve anyone's sympathy.But in private, Jiang Yijue trusted him and treated him kindly.Although he was once used as a pawn, he was never allowed to do anything too risky.

Even if Jiang Yijue chooses to run away now, Bai Sihuan will not leak the news.

But in the end, Jiang Yijue just sighed and said, "You go, I don't want anyone to disturb him here."

Bai Sihuan hesitated for a while, the words he wanted to persuade didn't come out, and he didn't know how to persuade him, so he could only listen to Jiang Yijue's words and left.Just after he walked out of the "Guqin Terrace" in Jiang Yijue's dream, he heard the sound of liquid being splashed in the mourning hall, and then, a pungent gasoline smell mixed with the mountain wind came.

Bai Sihuan suddenly realized something, panic suddenly surged to his heart, he suddenly turned his head and wanted to run back to stop Jiang Yijue, but it was too late.

This night left a very deep trace in the memory of Bai Sihuan's life.He saw Jiang Yijue standing in front of Xu Mu's portrait, with reddish eyes on his haggard and pale face. The moment he reached out and knocked down the oil lamp, the flame spread rapidly on the banknotes like a poisonous snake. The fire in the mourning hall was raging.

And he, standing in front of Xu Mu's portrait, turned around quietly, looked at Xu Mu's portrait, let the beams collapse behind him, and let the flames swallow him.

It was so funny.

Bai Sihuan seemed to hear Jiang Yijue's words again.

People who laugh at others for being too emotional, will actually show their flaws because of their emotions, fall short of success, and eventually die in the sea of ​​fire.

This is really too funny.

According to the news the next day, Jiang Yijue, the chairman of the Jiang Group, died in the fire in the West Mountain. He was suspected of committing suicide in fear of crime.The reporter interviewed Jiang Ningyou, who was about to take over the Jiang Group, and there was no sadness on her face.

There are many things happening this year, and the media is not idle, reporting major events one after another.

Shen Ying, who was at ease overseas, was finally repatriated back to China, and was arrested immediately after entering the country.

The stocks of the Jiang Group plummeted within a day, and the funds were empty, but with Jiang Ningyou's ability, everyone believed that it would be back to heaven in a few days.

Lin Huan was arrested and sentenced to death.The leftover property was inherited by Cheng Sutang, the heir he appointed many years ago. Not long after, news came that Cheng Sutang died of illness overseas. The will stated that part of the real estate and the house in Tan Gong were inherited by the eldest son Lin Siying.The two houses in the Sinan Mansion and the personal money deposits in XX Bank are inherited by the eldest daughter Lin Musheng. The premise of inheritance is that she must divorce her current husband.All current assets and all company shares and equity are inherited by her nominally last son and de facto grandson, Lin Heng.

In the early autumn of August, I finally broadcast a good news that people like to hear. Three days later, the city’s riverside will usher in a fireworks festival. The time period starts from [-]:[-] p.m. to [-]:[-] p.m.At the same time, environmental protection volunteers were recruited to clean up the garbage left after the fireworks festival.

The moment the TV was turned off, Bai Sihuan leaned on the sofa, closed his eyes, and let out a long breath.He knew that all the turbulent events and the absurd past of the precarious decade would finally come to an end and the dust would settle.

He didn't go to Lin's house again, but he did go back to the old alley to see how the incompetent mother and naughty brother were doing.

When I went there, the rusty bicycle was still parked at the door of several neighbors, the potted flowers were still planted on the balcony, and the residents were still the same uncles and aunts, but his home has completely changed its appearance.

The house has been renovated, and my mother and younger brother no longer live here.The current residence is an old couple. Bai Sihuan inquired about Bai Ying and Bai Yuancheng. The old couple said that the mother and son of the original resident owed a whole lot of debts and ran away. No one knew where they went.

The old lady asked Bai Sihuan if he really wanted to find them, and if he really wanted to find them, she could help him find out.

Bai Sihuan thought for a while and said, "Thank you, no need."

After leaving the old alley, he sat on the bench at the bus stop and watched the pedestrians and vehicles coming and going in front of him.

What should be over is over, and what should be lost is also lost.Today, he is the only one left.

Suddenly seemed to be dazzled, in a trance, Bai Sihuan saw the man he had missed so much standing in front of the opposite bus stop sign.

He stood up suddenly, "Lin Heng" choked in his throat and didn't yell out. At this moment, the bus passed by, and the opposite stop sign was empty, and there was no one there.

The feeling of loss seemed particularly heavy at this moment, Bai Sihuan rubbed the center of his brows, and secretly scolded himself for being stupid.Now Lin Heng is the most valuable director of the Lin family, how could he appear in such a place at will.

It is no longer possible.Whether it is seeing him or going back to the past, nothing is possible.

After returning home that day, Bai Sihuan booked a plane ticket to Yunnan.

The next day I got up early and went to the airport. On the way to the boarding gate, a couple came over and asked him to take a photo.

They stood in front of the billboard with the night view of Venice, posing in various intimate poses.

After taking photos, the couple thanked each other and left.It was only then that Bai Sihuan saw the words on the billboard—accompany you through this world.

Can't help recalling the moment when he persuaded Lin Heng to let go of everything, Bai Sihuan thought that if Lin Heng had agreed at that time, he would go to any corner of the world with him regardless of everything.You don't need anything, as long as you are with each other.

Looking at the current billboard, Bai Sihuan always felt that there was still someone missing by his side.Thinking of this, the sockets of my eyes turned red.

"Si Huan."

At this moment, the voice behind him made Bai Sihuan think that he had fallen into a dream.From the soles of the feet to the fingertips, and even every part of the whole body seemed to be frozen for an instant, unable to move, only one heart seemed to be burning and throbbing.

Bai Sihuan turned around slowly and saw Lin Heng walking towards him step by step.

Blink, and blink again.Confirm that it is no longer vertigo this time.

"I finally found you." Feng Qingyun's calm words overwhelmed his hard search for several days.

After regaining his senses, Bai Sihuan still hadn't recovered his breath: "You...how did you come to find me?"

"I gave up everything, everything. The company, the equity, all to my elder brother." Lin Heng pulled out a faint smile, and walked in front of Bai Sihuan, "I'm still waiting for your answer."

"what is the answer?"

"Can you stay with me?"

Dazed for a moment, Bai Sihuan smiled wryly: "Can we still live safely in this place?"

After so many things happened, Bai Sihuan could no longer turn back to the simple and innocent poor boy, and Lin Heng was no longer the carefree and self-willed boy.

Lin Heng, who was stared at by a group of media, and the former personal assistant of Jiang Yijue, who was notorious in the industry, how could they continue to live a stable life together?

But in Lin Heng's heart, everything can still be saved.

"We go abroad, to a place where no one knows us. Don't you want to continue studying? Go to a university abroad, and I will read for you. I hope you will always be by my side, or let me always follow you and never leave you. This wish , can you fulfill me?" Lin Heng looked at Bai Sihuan deeply, waiting for his answer with hope.

At this time, the broadcast reminded Bai Sihuan that the flight he was on was about to take off, so that those who hadn't boarded the plane should hurry up and board the plane.Bai Sihuan's eyes were lowered, but he didn't give any answer in the end. He held on to the ticket and walked away.

The moment Bai Sihuan took a step, Lin Heng felt that there was a silk thread on Bai Sihuan's body, and the silk thread was connected with a knife stuck in his heart. Every time Bai Sihuan took a step, the knife cut into Lin Heng's heart a little bit.

Suddenly, Bai Sihuan stopped and turned around.Smiling like a gentle young man back then.He stretched out his hand to Lin Heng: "Let's go, let's go abroad together."

After being stunned for a moment, Lin Heng rushed over and hugged Bai Sihuan tightly.He hugged this man tighter and tighter, as if he was afraid of letting him escape.Lost, come back, this is probably the feeling of bringing the dead back to life.

From [-]:[-] to [-]:[-], the TV screens hanging in the airport live broadcast the Riverside Fireworks Festival. Gorgeous fireworks bloom in the night sky. Every tree is covered with cold smoke, and the whole city full of fiery trees and silver flowers seems to be ignited instantly. All blazing passion.

At this moment, pedestrians are still coming and going, each heading in their own direction.Only the light of the billboard cares for them tenderly, their long-lost reunion, and that sentence—accompany you through this world.

Extra Story: Wandering Ends When Lovers Meet

A city in a country in northern Europe.The youngest "business tycoon" Lin Heng who was once all the rage in China set up a law firm here and became a well-known Chinese lawyer. Yang exploited the other half of the past.

At the beginning, the domestic media paid special attention to him, and even attracted people all over the Internet to pay attention to every divorce lawsuit he fought, and gave online support on the other side of the distant ocean.However, after a while, they shifted their focus back to the turbulent turmoil in the domestic business world, and Lin Heng finally became what he called an outdated business idol.

Being forgotten by the people of the country must be the happiest thing for Lin Heng, which means that he no longer has to worry about being harassed by himself and Bai Sihuan.

Years ago, Bai Sihuan was admitted to a first-tier university in this city, studying biology.Sometimes to do experiments, the mice and rabbits are placed on the experimental table, after the anesthetic is administered, the knife is raised and lowered, the data is recorded, and the experimental products are executed, there can be no delay.This course was the last thing he wanted Lin Heng to know.He didn't doubt that Lin Heng would be surprised and say "the rabbit is so cute, why kill it" after knowing that they used the white rabbit for the experiment!

Lin Heng likes small animals very much, snakes, insects, mice, ants, lions, tigers and leopards, as long as they are not human beings, he can dig out their cute side.He especially likes cats and dogs. When he sees kittens and puppies on the road, he will bark and bark to tease them to come over.

Occasionally, when he encounters a cat and dog with a good temper, he will let him rub it twice. Occasionally, he insists on masturbating him when he encounters a bad temper, so he will inevitably go to the hospital a few more times for vaccinations.

The two latest scars on Lin Heng's hands were scratched by a wild fat orange cat. The scratch was not deep, but the skin was slightly torn, and two pale pink marks could still be seen the next day.

That day, Bai Sihuan was teaching an experimental class in the teaching building, and just sacrificed two innocent white mice.A male classmate reminded him when he walked in: "Your boyfriend is here to pick you up."

Startled, Bai Sihuan immediately rolled up his sleeves, covered the two dead rats with a piece of white cloth, wrapped them up neatly and threw them into a special trash bin, and then threw the waste paper and gauze on the dead rats to cover them up.Immediately, he washed the bloody tools, hid the anatomy books in the bookcase, put down his sleeves after washing his hands, tidied his hair, and became a pure and harmless good angel again.

Two minutes later, Bai Sihuan saw Lin Heng appearing at the door, with the two cat-scratched scars on his arms exposed, and he frowned, trying to blame him for leaving the wounds exposed and not treating them.At this time, a female classmate asked Lin Heng with the gauze tape that was not used up in the experiment: "Why did you hurt your arm? Do you need to deal with it?"

"The cat scratched it, it doesn't matter." Lin Heng walked over and naturally put his arms around Bai Sihuan's waist.

The expression of the female classmate became weird in an instant, and she raised her eyebrows and joked: "Oh~ your fun."

Bai Sihuan knew that she was thinking wrong, and hurriedly explained: "It was really caught by a cat."

"Yes, it must be a charming little wild cat." The female student smiled and put on an expression of "I understand".

When Bai Sihuan was speechless, Lin Heng calmly told the female classmate: "The wound on the hand was scratched by a real cat, and all the scratches he scratched were on the back."

Bai Sihuan: "..."

In the law firm, Lin Heng is called ruthless and ruthless by everyone. He is ruthless in litigation and ruthless in punishing subordinates who make mistakes. It is hard for everyone to imagine that he would have a fatherly side in private.

Bai Sihuan finished class early that day, and went home early before Lin Heng came to pick him up.

When he got home, he heard noises in the bathroom, walked into the bathroom and found that Lin Heng was bathing a "puppy".

"Puppy" was obviously not happy to be soaked in the water. He threw his hands and feet in the water and twisted his head.

And Lin Heng, a great practitioner of paternal love, did not give up cleaning the stains on his body because of his struggle.

His eyes swept over the "little dog", and the bag in Bai Sihuan's hand fell to the ground in an instant, his mouth opened slightly, and he asked, "What are you doing?"

Lin Heng raised the wet "puppy" in his hand and said: "The puppy I picked up at our door has been following me, so I picked it up." The faint light in his eyes seemed to be about to bloom. Hua, "I want to raise him. Like Karen when he was a child, he always likes to howl like a wolf."

Having said that, the "puppy" in his hand let out a "wow".

Bai Sihuan's expression was complicated: "Lin Heng...this is the wolf, the arctic wolf."

Lin Heng smiled in disbelief: "Stop joking, how could there be arctic wolves in this place?"

"The puppy's eyes are not so slanted, it is a wolf."

"It's a wolf, so why would it follow me?"

"Because it's hungry and wants to eat you."

"It's a wolf, why doesn't it like to take a bath so much?"

"Cats and canines don't like baths."

Lin Heng couldn't believe this fact!

At this moment, the doorbell rang, and Bai Sihuan went to answer the door.A man in overalls stood outside the door and asked with a smile, "I'm sorry to bother you, but we lost an arctic wolf cub at the zoo. Did you see it?"

The "puppy" in the bathroom let out a life-saving "owoo".

The zoo is moving today, and animals are being moved by truckload.They happened to be resting near here this morning, and the "little fugitive" took the opportunity to escape from his mother.

The staff asked several nearby families, and finally came to Lin Heng.

After expressing apology and thanks to Bai Sihuan and the others, the staff prepared to take the wolf cub away.

Before leaving, Lin Heng patted the cub's head reluctantly, and said with love in his eyes: "Daddy will miss you."

Bai Sihuan was amazed...had he already become father and son in just half a day?

Bai Sihuan caught a cold, and because he was afraid that sneezing would contaminate the experimental products in the laboratory, he asked for leave and did not attend classes at home for a few days when he caught the cold.

When Lin Heng took care of him, he said: "You need to exercise more, so that you can improve your immunity and keep up with your physical strength."

Bai Sihuan threw a pillow over and said sullenly, "Isn't it all your fault..."

Lin Heng caught the pillow, with a meaningful arc on the corner of his mouth: "I didn't know that the balcony was so cold that night."

Bai Sihuan caught a cold for several days, Lin Heng behaved well at first, but in the end he couldn't control his "beast desire", and did all kinds of "beastly" things to him in the bathroom when he was sick.

Soon the retribution came. After Bai Sihuan recovered, he was honored to catch a cold, and he was unable to "strike" Bai Sihuan for two or three consecutive days.

At night Lin Heng was lying on the bed, Bai Sihuan took his temperature and said: "Today your assistant asked me why you became more angry when you caught a cold."

When Lin Heng stretched out Bai Sihuan's hand, he touched his hand twice, hinting: "I can only watch but not eat every day, can I not be too angry?"

Bai Sihuan pulled his hand away and said, "Abstinence is good for physical and mental health."

Lin Heng pulled his arm suddenly, and when he fell weightlessly, turned over and pressed him on the bed.

Lin Heng pulled up Bai Sihuan's clothes, and touched his body emotionally: "It's a psychopath if I abstain from sex with you by my side."

Bai Sihuan stopped his hand from sliding down, and reminded: "You still have a fever."

"...Try?"

"Don't make trouble." Bai Sihuan pulled his hand away and quickly moved to the other side of the bed.

Lin Heng sighed in disappointment, and lay back on the bed sideways. He stretched out his hand to Bai Sihuan, and his heavy nasal voice was full of coquettishness: "Then give me a hug."

Bai Sihuan smiled helplessly, and leaned over to hug him.

Lin Heng hugged him tightly, rubbed his chin against the side of his face, and whispered: "Journey sent in lovers' meeting."

Bai Sihuan asked: "What?"

Lin Heng blew warm air in his ear: "I say I love you."

"..." Bai Sihuan's ears blushed after being blown like this, and he replied softly, "Mmm..."

Journey sends in lovers' meeting.

Wandering ends when lovers meet.

Episode [-]: A fireworks, a dust

A man in his 50s doesn't look old. He wears an exquisitely embroidered red Tang suit and his hair is neatly combed with pomade. He sits on a beautifully carved mahogany dragon chair and holds a tea bowl from Xuande of the Ming Dynasty in his hand. Savor the tea carefully.

In contrast, the woman standing next to him was as shabby as a girl who had just returned from a job in the countryside and came to the city to sell vegetables.With a yellow face, yellow teeth, a khaki dress, and a dusty face, there is nothing good about her.

"Cousin, look, my kid is going to high school this year, no, he can't even pay the tuition..." The woman bowed halfway, rubbing her hands, with a flattering smile on her face.

Old Mr. Jiang swallowed his tea without raising his eyelids: "Don't tell me this, I just gave you tens of thousands of dollars at the family banquet a year ago, what did you do with it?"

"I... didn't I give all my money to the child's father? His father was working outside, and he had a conflict with someone and broke his head, and everyone came to ask for medical expenses in person! Can I not pay for it! "

"This is your family business, it has nothing to do with me." Mr. Jiang covered the tea bowl and told the nanny upstairs, "Shuisi! Shuisi! Take off my coat, I have to go out!"

Seeing that he was about to go out, Mrs. Xu was a little anxious: "Brother! Just help me again, this kid's teacher has called to urge him, and he won't be able to read this book if he doesn't pay the tuition fee!"

"I don't even raise my own son, why should I help you raise my son?"

"Brother! Help me! Please help me!" Mrs. Xu knelt on the ground, shaking old Mr. Jiang's hand, "When Xu Mu, my family, is promising in the future, I will repay you ten times!"

Xu Mu, who has just turned fifteen this year, is sitting on a stool not far away, holding a piece of wood with carved dots in his left hand, and a carving knife in his right hand, carefully carving something. The conversation fell on deaf ears.

Old Mr. Jiang's nanny came down the stairs with his coat in hand. On the stairs, he gave Mrs. Xu a very arrogant look.She is used by Mr. Jiang to solve his needs when he can't bear it. She is not even a lover, but he always likes to pose as a hostess at home.

She obviously heard the conversation between Mrs. Xu and Mr. Jiang, and as she came up to put on Mr. Jiang's coat, she rolled her eyes and scolded Mrs. Xu: "Look at your son, he looks like he can be promising? What is the difference between giving him money for high school and throwing money into a shithole? If you are really ambitious, why can’t you get the money yourself? What can’t be done on the street outside where you live? You may get more than we give.”

The nanny's vulgar words just finished, when suddenly, Xu Mu jumped up from the stool and cursed: "Fuck your mother's old biao!" As soon as he finished speaking, the wooden carving in his hand flew towards the nanny's head, "Deng " There was a crisp sound, hitting the nanny's forehead.

"Ah!" The nanny screamed, her forehead turned red immediately.

"Xu Mu!" Mrs. Xu yelled his name in fright.

Seeing that she was bleeding, the nanny burst into tears, and grabbed Mr. Jiang's hand to make him justice.

Old Mr. Jiang was furious, pointed at Xu Mu and questioned Mrs. Xu: "Look! Look! This is your good son! You still expect me to give him money to study? Take your son back quickly, Don't dirty my place here!"

Xu Mu got angry when he heard this, and even scolded this uncle: "Old Bangzi, who the hell cares about your money? You deserve to be damned wife! So many sons are useless, I don't think any of you will die. I'll die for you! Do you think there's anything good about this place of yours! If my mother hadn't brought me here, I wouldn't have come to see you, an old bastard, looking for such a wrinkled old woman at my age It makes me want to vomit! Just save your money to treat your rotten sores and buy your coffin!" Maybe because he didn't like the scolding, Xu Mu spat on Old Mr. Jiang's face.

"You! You!" Old Mr. Jiang wiped the saliva off his face, his hands and feet trembling with anger.

Xu Mu snorted coldly, turned around and strode away. His mother ran behind and shouted: "Xu Mu! Xu Mu! Come back!"

After walking out of the gate of Jiang's house, Xu Mu slowed down his pace.Mrs. Xu caught up, poked his forehead and scolded him for being ignorant.

At this time, a person shouted from a distance: "Auntie!"

Xu Mu looked around, and saw a man wearing a gray and white striped sweater, holding a few red banknotes in his hand, trotting over.

Seeing this person, Xu Mu frowned.This person is Jiang Yijue, the eldest son of Jiang, his cousin.

Xu Mu didn't have a good impression of this cousin, he just remembered that he was the most useless of the large group of sons like old man Jiang.

Old Mr. Jiang's children can line up from the gate of Jiang's house to the street of Gulou, and he will love whoever has the ability to please him.

Jiang Yijue is obviously the most incompetent person, he is in his twenties, and he is being teased and teased by his younger brothers and sisters all day long.

Xu Mu's deepest impression was at the Jiang family's family banquet years ago. There was a boy named Lin Heng in the Lin family. Because Jiang Yijue was unhappy with a word, he directly gave the Jiang family a bad face.Mr. Jiang slapped Jiang Yijue on the face without saying a word, and asked Jiang Yijue to apologize to Lin Heng. After hearing what his father said, Jiang Yijue actually bowed his head to a child and admitted his mistake.

At that time, Xu Mu was furious when he saw it, and scolded Jiang Yijue in his heart.He thought, if he was Jiang Yijue, he would have pushed that kid to the ground and beat him up, and then slapped his father back!

Jiang Yijue ran up to the two of them and stopped, showing a polite smile. He put the money in his hand into Mrs. Xu's hand: "Auntie, you take the money first."

Mrs. Xu didn't dare to take the money, she hurriedly shied away: "No, no, I can't take your money! I can't take your money!"

Xu Mu turned his back and rolled his eyes.He just pointed at Jiang Yijue's nose and scolded so badly, this Jiang Yijue actually came here to give money?What is it if it's not brain flooding?If it were Jiang Yijue, rushing out now would not be giving him money, but grabbing him to spit ten mouthfuls of saliva, and slapping his father ten or twenty slaps to vent his anger!

"I can't take it! I can't take it!"

"You take it. Although the money is not much, it is still enough to pay for my cousin's tuition. I will borrow it from you, and you will pay me back when you have more money in the future."

The two were still trying to evade each other, Xu Mu couldn't stand it anymore, and advised his mother, "Take it, I don't need this money to buy rice."

After pushing and pushing for a long time, Mrs. Xu finally accepted the money with a red face and kept saying thank you.Xu Mu didn't say anything, until his mother squeezed his arm, and he said perfunctorily, "Thank you!"

"You're welcome." Jiang Yijue looked at him with a faint smile.

Seeing this pretty smile, Xu Mu suddenly froze.After regaining his senses, he immediately turned his head and cursed himself "sick" who was stunned by the smile.

Fanwai [-], a firework, a dust

At 04:30 in the afternoon, the teenager in school uniform just ran out of the school over the wall, with a dry throat, swaggered into a nearby convenience store and swept down two bottles of Coke.

"Five yuan." Xu Mu told the cashier the amount, and threw a piece of five yuan on the table.

Cashier: "Xu Mu?"

Hearing the other party call out his name, Xu Mu finally took a closer look at the cashier's face.What a coincidence, this cashier is his eldest cousin, Jiang Yijue, the son of Jiang's eldest son.

Xu Mu didn't know what to respond, so he said "Yo" as if saying hello.

"You don't have to go to class?" Jiang Yijue asked while collecting money.

"Physical education class, come out and buy a bottle of water." Xu Mu said nonsense.He opened a bottle of Coke, took a big sip, wiped his mouth and asked, "Why do you still need to work like this? Your father won't give you money?"

Jiang Yijue smiled: "My dad never gave me money."

Xu Mu just teased him casually, he didn't expect Mr. Jiang's dead old man to be so stingy, he really didn't even raise his own son.Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem so annoying not to lend money to his mother.

Blinking his eyes, Xu Mu asked: "The money you gave my mother before was all your hard earned money?"

The corners of Jiang Yijue's mouth always maintained an appropriate gentle arc: "Anyway, the little money I earn is not enough to do big things. It's good to be able to read to you."

Jiang Yijue said this sentence as if nothing had happened, and Xu Mu, who skipped class, suddenly felt a strong sense of guilt.

He squeezed the Coke can in his hand, said in silence for a while, "Thank you."

"You thanked me last time, why did you thank me again?"

Xu Mu turned his face to the side and muttered in a low voice: "This time it's different."

At this moment, the store manager came out of the warehouse and knocked on the cash register: "What are you talking about!"

Jiang Yijue said: "The store manager, I know you."

The store manager glanced at Xu Mu, and said in a cold tone, "It's working time now."

"Yes." Jiang Yijue whispered to Xu Mu, "It's time for me to go to work."

Xu Mu didn't say anything, picked up a basket, turned back to the shelf, swept from the first row of the shelf to the last row, and brought a whole basket of drinks and snacks to the cash register: "Check out." Immediately, he threw a provocative message at the store manager eyes.

The store manager rolled his eyes, turned and left.

Jiang Yijue was stunned, shook his head and smiled, and slowly scanned the QR code to check out.

"What time are you in the middle of the night?" Xu Mu realized that his posture was like a young boy chasing a working girl.

Jiang Yijue glanced at the time and said, "There is still half an hour."

After receiving the big bag of snacks and drinks that had been settled, Xu Mu left a sentence: "I'll wait for you in the park outside, and we will have dinner together later." Then he carried the bag and left without looking back.

Jiang Yijue followed his receding figure for a long time.

The store manager came over and knocked on the cashier again: "Go to work!"

Opposite the convenience store is a park. Xu Mu is sitting on the steps with his trousers rolled up and his school uniform open.There was a big bag of beverages and snacks by his feet, a bag of potato chips to eat, and a bottle of soda to drink.

The woman passing by holding the child whispered to her child: "You must not be like him in the future. You must study hard, you know?"

After waiting for more than half an hour, Xu Mu finished eating the whole bag of snacks, and Jiang Yijue changed into his work clothes and came out of the convenience store.

Xu Mu jumped up from the steps at once, patted the ashes on his buttocks and walked over: "Come on, let's go eat, I'm starving to death."

Jiang Yijue glanced at the swaying cans, bottles and bags on the ground: "You've eaten so much, are you still hungry?"

"I have a long body, so what are those things?"

Jiang Yijue chuckled and followed behind him.

The two chatted and walked for a long time before they saw a noodle restaurant that looked pretty good.This noodle shop was newly opened, and it was fairly clean inside, and there were no people there, so there was no need to wait for a meal, so both of them decided to have dinner here.

One person ordered a bowl of fresh shrimp noodles and sat down at the door.

When eating noodles, Xu Mu's mouth was never idle, and the chatterbox would not stop, talking about their school affairs incessantly.He was a man with witty speech and funny words, which made Jiang Yijue laugh several times until he couldn't stop laughing.

In the end Xu Mu finished his whole bowl of noodles, and Jiang Yijue had half a bowl left.

When paying the bill, Jiang Yijue called the boss and took out his wallet to pay.

The boss picked up the bill and calculated it decently for a while, then said, "Two hundred and four yuan."

Jiang Yijue's hand holding the money froze for a moment, and asked the boss with wide eyes, "Two hundred and four yuan? Two bowls of noodles?"

The boss said, "You added shrimp to your two bowls of noodles, right?"

"That's right. Don't you say it? Fresh shrimp noodles are 13 yuan, and two bowls are only 26. Now it's two hundred and four again?"

The boss said: "The 13 yuan is river prawns. What you eat is shipped from North America. Six prawns are so expensive."

Xu Mu poohed the toothpick in his mouth, picked up the leftover shrimp shell with his chopsticks: "This is ordinary mud shrimp, do you think I'm stupid?"

The boss immediately lowered his face, put his hands on his hips, and pointed his nostrils at them: "What are you doing? Don't want to pay? Want to eat Bawang's meal?"

After saying this, three or four guys in the store immediately surrounded them, staring at Jiang Yijue and Xu Mu coldly like a group of menacing men.

"Okay, I'll give it." Jiang Yijue thought that one thing more is worse than one thing less, and prepared to take the money.

Just when he was about to draw out the money, Xu Mu suddenly picked up the half bowl left by Jiang Yijue and threw it at the boss and a few clerks!

"Run!" Before the boss and the guys could react, Xu Mu grabbed Jiang Yijue's hand and ran out the door.

Running out of the store, seeing Jiang Yijue's hands were empty, Xu Mu asked anxiously, "Where's your wallet?"

It was only at this time that Jiang Yijue came back to his senses and said, "It fell inside."

Xu Mu slapped his head, let go of Jiang Yijue's hand, ran back to the store, picked up Jiang Yijue's wallet, and was about to run.

At this time the boss and the guys have come back to life, shouting to catch him.

Xu Mu picked up the bowls, chopsticks and spoons on the table and threw them on the heads, but how could he, a high school student, be able to defeat these four big men.Just when he was about to be at a disadvantage, Jiang Yijue rushed in, picked up a chair and threw it at them.

The scene was chaotic for a while, and finally, Jiang Yijue ran out holding Xu Mu's arm.

They ran for a long time, and the boss and fellows chased after them for a long time.In the end, they couldn't catch up anymore, and the boss yelled at them, "Fuck your grandma", before letting them go.

The two ran to a safe place and stopped, panting heavily.After taking a breath, Jiang Yijue suddenly laughed.

"Laughing, what are you laughing at?" Xu Mu asked out of breath.

Jiang Yijue patted him on the back to help him relax, and said, "I feel very happy, I have never been so happy."

Xu Mu felt that his smile was very pretty, so he stared at it for a while, then turned his head and said, "Me too."

After going through this catastrophe, their relationship sublimated in an instant, and they began to mingle together all day long, like brothers and sisters who were in trouble together.

Since Xu Mu knew that the money Jiang Yijue gave him to study was hard-earned, he stopped skipping classes and went to school every day and listened to the lectures.Every day after school, he rushed to the convenience store to find Jiang Yijue immediately.Sometimes Jiang Yijue got off work early, so she waited at the school gate for Xu Mu to finish school.

They chatted, chatted, chatted, talked about ideals, talked about the future, talked about tomorrow, and talked about everything.This year, one is young and unruly, the other is calm and gentle. In a society that is not yet prosperous and impetuous, they love each other and cherish each other.

One night, Xu Mu took Jiang Yijue to an abandoned hut behind their house, took out large boxes from under the container, and showed Jiang Yijue all his treasured wood and wood carvings.

Xu Mu stuffed the wood into Jiang Yijue's hand, and told him: "These are ordinary wood, this is poplar, this is teak, and this is the most precious huanghuali wood. I only have a little bit, and I picked it up from other factories. of."

There was no light in the house, so Jiang Yijue held up the wooden block, reflecting the moonlight coming in from the window, and asked, "Which kind of wood looks the best?"

Xu Mu replied: "Xu Mu is the prettiest."

"Hahaha!" Jiang Yijue laughed out loud.

Xu Mu said, "Why are you laughing? Am I wrong?"

Jiang Yijue nodded: "Yes, that's right." Then, he smiled again.

Xu Mu didn't let Jiang Yijue stop laughing, he liked watching Jiang Yijue laugh very much.He lay on the ground not afraid of getting dirty, held up his carefully carved wood carving, stroked the lines on it with his thumb, and his eyes sparkled slightly: "One day, I will hold the largest international sculpture art exhibition, so that everyone in the world can see it." Come and see my sculpted works of art, listen to them praise me, and watch them cast envious eyes on me!"

Jiang Yijue sat beside him and said, "If I have the ability, I will help you realize your dream. I will support you in whatever you want."

"I will remember this, and don't forget me when you are capable."

"No." Jiang Yijue stared at his face under the moonlight and whispered, "I will never forget you."

Looking at Xu Mu's youthful face, Jiang Yijue was dazed for a moment, lowered his head, stopped, blinked, sat up straight again, and brought his head back.

A delicate atmosphere swayed between the two, time fermented, and the air became slightly hot.
