journey

It's been almost a week since I came back from Luo's house, and the smell of Chinese New Year is still very strong.Luo Nianli was always depressed, he was not interested in anything, and he didn't talk or smile much, which made Chu Zheng very sad.

Chu Zheng and Zhuang Yi walked up the mountain side by side along the stairs, and in the middle of the mountain was the temple they both went to every year.

"Then why don't you bring him? Come out and relax."

Zhuang Yi said to Chu Zheng.

"I asked, and he just shook his head and read with a book in his arms."

Chu Zheng felt a burst of strength and sighed.

"Don't worry, anyone who encounters the death of a relative will not let it go in two or three days. Give him some time, and it will be fine slowly."

Chu Zheng glanced at Zhuang Yi, nodded,

"Hey, that's right. During the Chinese New Year, I didn't just encounter this incident, and I didn't notice your text messages. Happy New Year!"

Chu Zheng smiled and looked like Zhuang Yi, and Zhuang Yi also smiled. At first he didn’t reply when he sent him a message, thinking it was because the signal in the mountains was not good, but then Chu Zheng didn’t contact him for a few days, and he felt worried. little worry.However, after Chu Zheng came back, he immediately contacted him, only to find out that Luo Luo's grandfather had passed away, and Zhuang Yi naturally forgot about those trivial matters.

"Happy New Year!"

Chu Zheng was worried about Luo Nianli, so he didn't go to the army for training this year, and school was about to start.He was lying on the upper bunk, and after hearing the sound of flipping the book for the nth time, he finally couldn't bear it any longer. He jumped out of bed twice, and sat down on Luo Nianli's bed. Luo Nianli was shaken by the shock, and looked up at Chu sign.

"I can't stay at home anymore, I'm going to get sick. Get up and get dressed, brother will take you out to play."

Luo Nianli shook his head blankly. Speaking of which, under Ms. Chen Shufen's unremitting hot compress efforts, Luo Nianli's eyes also returned to normal.Chu Zheng was a little upset. He had been talking about it for several days, so why didn't he appreciate it.Chu Zheng stared at his face, took the book from Luo Nianli's hand, and threw it behind him. Luo Nianli raised his eyes to look at him, and the two of them stared at each other for a long time.It was the first time that Luo Nianli saw Chu Zheng looking at him with such an angry expression, and it was the first time that Chu Zheng saw Luo Nianli's expression...a little indifferent.Chu Zheng felt nervous, he couldn't help frowning, and even felt that the Luo Nianli in front of him was not the lovely Luo Luo before.

Chu Zheng was defeated first, he stretched out his hand and squeezed Luo Nianli's shoulder,

"Get up, let's go out, brother has something to tell you."

Luo Nianli's expression became softer, he lifted the quilt, got out of bed and dressed.

The big shopping malls were all open, Chu Zheng took Luo Nianli to a commercial street in the downtown area by car, and the familiar people led him into a game hall.It was the first time for Luo Nianli to come to this kind of place, the loud music made him a little uncomfortable, one hand was pulled by Chu Zheng, and the other covered his ears.Walking to the inside, there were rows of shooting machines. Chu Zheng took a look at Luo Nianli, bent down and threw two coins into it. Luo Nianli saw that Chu Zheng shot quickly, and almost hit the basket with every shot. The round was over. A long string of notes came out.Chu Zheng was overjoyed, and Luo Nianli felt better after being affected by him. Instead of taking the note, Chu Zheng threw in two more coins, took one from the basketball that came out of the embrace, and handed it to Luo Nianli. , Luo Nianli hesitated for a moment, and threw it over like Chu Zheng did, but unfortunately he was small and weak, and the ball fell far away from the basket.

"Keep going, it's my first time playing but I didn't make a single round."

In this way, under Chu Zheng's urging and encouragement, Luo Nianli threw the ball for a round, and as expected, every brother must have a brother, and one missed.With a smirk, Chu Zheng scratched Luo Nianli's nose, then pulled out the string of papers he threw, folded them and put them in his pocket.He led Luo Nianli to the shooting machine,

"Let you see my brother's true skills."

Chu Zheng picked up the gun and aimed sideways in a standard posture.

"Boom, bang."

A simulated gunshot sounded from the machine. Luo Nianli stood beside him and looked at Chu Zheng. His brother was so handsome with a gun. He didn't know that the corners of his mouth curled up, and he looked at Chu Zheng foolishly.Chu Zheng put down the gun, smiled proudly, looked down at Luo Nianli, and saw Xiao Luoluo staring at him blankly, Chu Zheng waved his hand in front of him with a smile.Luo Nianli just came back to his senses, and suddenly noticed that the ticket machine under him was spitting out tickets frantically. Luo Nianli turned his head to look at the screen, and all of them hit hearts.Chu Zhengfu threw another two coins, he pulled Luo Nianli to him, handed him the gun, and then surrounded him from behind, teaching him to aim and shoot.Chu Zheng's mouth was pressed against Luo Nianli's ear, and the hot air he exhaled when he spoke made Luo Nianli's ears blush to his cheeks.

"bang"

One shot hits 10 rings.Chu Zheng smiled and let go,

"Come and try."

Luo Nianli looked at the aim seriously, pulled the trigger,

"bang"

9.2 rings.Chu Zheng clapped his hands,

"Not bad! As expected of my younger brother, he has potential."

Luo Nianli also smiled slightly.Chu Zheng took him to play here and there, Luo Nianli had never been in contact with these things, it was still a bit novel, and he gradually became interested.Seeing his appearance, Chu Zheng was secretly relieved.

After playing all afternoon, Chu Zheng exchanged the paper money he got from playing games for Luo Nianli to use a small tank loaded with bullets.The two went to the snack street next door to buy some food, and ran to the bench in front of the lawn of the square to sit down and eat and drink.Chu Zheng also went to buy two cans of beer. The boss didn't buy it for him at first, so he gave him more money. The boss told him not to say that he bought it from himself, and then secretly put two cans in the bag for him.

"Boom, bang."

Chu Zheng opened two cans of beer and stuffed a can into Luo Nianli's hand.Luo Nianli shook his head and wanted to return it to him.

"It's okay, I just came out to relax today, just a can, secretly."

Luo Nianli hesitated, seeing Chu Zheng raised his head, he took a big sip, and took a sip slowly himself.It's so hard to drink... Luo Nianli looked at the jar and curled his lips.Seeing him like this, Chu Zheng felt even more cute.

Many people gathered in front of the square, and Chu Zheng didn't know why, maybe there was some activity.Suddenly, there were two "boom, boom" sounds in the sky, and when the two looked up, they saw colorful fireworks blooming.It turned out that it was a public fireworks display. Luo Nianli took a mutton skewer and his mouth was full of greasy food. Chu Zheng looked at him with a smile and bit into a mutton skewer.After all, both cans of beer went into Chu Zheng's stomach, and Chu Zheng went to buy a bottle of orange juice for Luo Nianli.

After drinking and eating, the two walked back along the moat. After Xu Shi had drunk, Chu Zheng blushed a little, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and told Luo Nianli that he had fallen into the river when he was a child. Zhuang Yi was so scared that he cried for a day.After speaking, he couldn't be happier, Luo Nianli gave a symbolic smile, then walked his own way with his head down.Chu Zheng looked down at his little expression, then took two quick steps, walked in front of him, and continued his youthful achievements.

"elder brother..."

Chu Zheng was talking vigorously, when Luo Nianli suddenly interrupted him.

"Ok?"

Chu Zheng stopped and looked down at Luo Nianli's hair.Luo Nianli slowly raised his head, with a look of loneliness and loneliness on his face, Chu Zheng was stunned,

"Brother, you won't leave me, will you?"

Chu Zheng watched Luo Nianli's mouth open and close, and he was a little dazed when he said these words.After a few seconds of silence, Chu Zheng suddenly laughed,

"Little fool, what are you thinking?"

Chu Zheng reached out and squeezed Luo Nianli's soft face, put his hands on his shoulders, his expression changed from smiling to serious

"Fool, as for me, I'm not good at talking nasty things, but I make an exception today, just once, listen carefully."

Chu Zhengqing coughed, his face turned red, but his eyes looked straight into Luo Nianli's.

"In this world, no one can decide life or death. But as long as I live for one day, I will never leave you, understand?"

After a few seconds of silence, Luo Nianli was still in a daze, but Chu Zheng stood up straight and twitched.

"Oh my god, it's so disgusting. Did the little guy understand? Don't make things difficult for me in the future."

I saw that Luo Nianli's face slowly spread a smile from a daze, a very happy smile.Chu Zheng also turned his head and smiled, continued to put his hands in his pockets, blushing and walked forward, Luo Nianli just followed behind so sweetly, it was sweet, sweet from the heart.

The holidays always come quickly, and school starts soon.Zhuang Yi and Chu Zheng entered the second half of the first year of junior high school, while Luo Nianli skipped a grade and was promoted to the third grade, but normally, Luo Nianli should have been promoted to the fourth grade, but he is already He tried his best, from illiteracy to skipping grades, just one semester, which shows his hard work.

Luo Nianli entered a new class, feeling a little uncomfortable and shy. Without familiar classmates and friends, Luo Nianli's character of not wanting to talk to strangers became even quieter.After several days of school, Luo Nianli didn't see Gao Wuyang. He even went to the window of his original class to look at him, but he didn't see him either.Luo Nianli was a little surprised, he called him a few times but no one answered, and he didn't see him again after school.Luo Nianli wondered if he was still angry with him and didn't want to see him, so he didn't bother to make fun of himself.

Chu Zheng's side is much more interesting.Chu Zheng was originally handsome, and he still had the air of a tough man in his bones. Since he played in the sports meeting, he has gained countless hearts.It's almost a week since school started, everyone was a little excited on Friday afternoon, and it was a little more relaxed just after school started, a few boys went to the playground to play basketball.It's spring, and the weather is getting warmer. Chu Zheng's nose is covered with a thin layer of sweat as he swayed his youth freely on the basketball court.Another long shot went in, and Chu Zheng snapped his fingers.

"Wow!"

A small scream sounded from the side, Chu Zheng heard the sound and looked over, and four or five girls stood in a group and looked this way.The ball bounced far away, Zhuang Yi went to chase it, and it happened to be near the girl. Zhuang Yi stopped the ball, held it in his arms, and glanced at them. Several girls looked at Zhuang Yi shyly. Zhuang Yi was also very handsome. , the skin is still very fair, without that kind of rough feeling, but most girls still like Chu Zheng's rough and ruffian look.Zhuang Yi patted the ball and walked back, couldn't help smiling, Chu Zheng is this guy.

When the school bell rang, a few boys played ball even more recklessly. Chu Zheng had a good time and didn't notice that there were gradually more girls watching the ball from a distance.After another one went into the basket, he was smiling triumphantly,

"Wow! So handsome, so handsome."

Several girls couldn't help shouting out.Only then did Chu Zheng look over again, and found that the five girls were still there, but there were many girls standing around in twos and threes watching the game, and several of them even looked at him.Chu Zheng felt that his face was so hot, and he turned his head embarrassedly. At first, he didn't feel that he was looking at him, but it was so obvious that he was a little shy.He has never focused on matters such as the relationship between men and women, and he has never thought about these things. It may be that his feelings are too slow, but at this grade, sometimes, even if he doesn't pay attention, he will be affected inadvertently.

"Tsk tsk, my face is red."

Zhuang Yi walked up to him, raised his eyebrows and laughed at him wickedly, Chu Zheng's face turned even redder, he didn't feel it at first, but now he felt that the eyes around him were getting stronger and stronger, he was very embarrassed

"Don't talk nonsense."

Chu Zheng took the ball thrown by his teammates, patted it and continued to run.But the group of girls probably didn't respond to seeing him, and every time they scored a goal, the voice of applause became stronger, which made other boys who played the ball look at Chu Zheng with evil smiles.Ordinarily, with such popularity, ordinary boys should be too proud to act handsome, but Chu Zheng, as if he was frightened, greeted his classmates with a blushing face, and was about to leave with Zhuang Yi's arm.

The two walked to the pool in front of the teaching building, Chu Zheng rolled up his sleeves, washed his face with cold water, Zhuang Yi looked at him, the smile on his face never disappeared, he took out a tissue from his schoolbag and handed it to Chu Zheng , Chu Zheng took it and wiped his face and hands, looked up at Zhuang Yi with a smirk on his face, and couldn't help frowning.

"Aren't you finished yet?"

Chu Zheng curled his lips, and Zhuang Yi even grinned presumptuously.

"Laugh again, laugh again, be careful, or I will be impolite!"

Zhuang Yi turned his head away, acting like he was trying his best to hold back his laughter, but he couldn't hold back the "poof" and laughed out loud.Chu Zheng threw the paper towel into the trash can vigorously, snapped his fingers, stared at Zhuang Yi,

"Zhuang! Yi! You are finished."

As he spoke, he grabbed Zhuang Yi's clothes, and stretched his hands under the clothes to touch his body. Chu Zheng's hands just after washing were extremely cold. Zhuang Yi let out an "ah" and bent down to avoid them. The two of them just stood in the pool You chased me and made a fuss.

Three girls stood by the railing on the third floor and looked down at them. The girl in the middle had long straight black hair, a small face and big eyes. She belonged to the type of boys who couldn't help but look twice. Very beautiful.

"No matter how handsome you are, you are still a brat. Why do you like this?"

The short-haired girl next to her said to the beautiful girl, who smiled shyly and said nothing.

"Call him for his birthday? Xiaowen is very familiar with the boy next to him. They are together all day. You can ask him."

Another girl asked the pretty girl,

"Hmm...not good, I'm not very familiar."

Pretty girl is a bit shy,

"Otherwise, you just look at him like this every day. He doesn't have a girlfriend. How can you not be good enough for him? If you want me to say you like him, hurry up. Look at so many women who like him, what if one day you will fall in love with him?" It's someone else's."

The short-haired girl said, the beautiful girl hesitated a little, thought for a while, and nodded.

"Then Xiaoqi, tell Xiaowen for me. But just ask, don't force it."

Song Xiaoqi smiled and nodded,

"Don't worry, I will definitely call you."

During the lunch break, Zhuang Yi lay down on the table and planned to take a nap for a while.Meng Xiaowen jumped up and sat down in front of him, turned around and lay on the opposite side of his table, a little closer, Zhuang Yi smiled and raised his head back.

"If you don't rest in your class at noon, what are you doing in our class?"

Meng Xiaowen has short hair that matches his ears, is not tall, and has watery eyes, very lively and cute.

"Of course I came to see you on a date. The lunch break is so short, it can't be wasted."

Meng Xiaowen pouted, pretending to show Zhuang Yi's ungrateful resentment.Zhuang Yi narrowed his eyes slightly and smiled helplessly.Meng Xiaowen looked at Zhuang Yi, and felt that he was very temperamental, and he must be an industry elite in the future.

"The lunch break is so short, I have to sleep for a while. So Meng Xiaowen, I'm sorry that I can't date you."

"Hmph, I know you're not interesting at all."

Zhuang Yi raised his eyebrows, but there was still a smile on his face.

"I was entrusted by someone to deliver the invitation."

Meng Xiaowen held his face in one hand, and turned the pen on Zhuang Yi's table with the other.Zhuang Yi sat up straight and looked at her,

"What invitation?"

"Miss Banhua from our class wants to invite you and your good buddy to her birthday party, this Saturday."

Zhuang Yi frowned upon hearing this, a little puzzled,

"Your class flower? Chu Zheng and I probably don't know each other. Why did you invite us?"

Meng Xiaowen sat up straight, looked at Zhuang Yi solemnly,

"Little brother, use your brain, okay? Why does a girl ask you out for no reason? It must be Luohua's intention."

Zhuang Yi was stunned for a moment, then turned his head and glanced at Chu Zheng who was sitting a few rows behind. Chu Zheng was sleeping on the table.He thought for a while, his expression was not very good-looking,

"Forget it, tell her we're not going, and we don't know each other."

Meng Xiaowen frowned,

"Why, I'm going too."

"You are classmates, and we don't know each other. It's embarrassing to go."

"I've known each other since I went there. Besides, how can you decide for him, what if he also likes our class flower. Our class flower is indeed very beautiful, and she is very gentle and good at taking care of others. You won't let me Go to Chu Zheng, be careful that he hates you."

Meng Xiaowen muttered vividly, the more she said that, the more obvious Zhuang Yi's displeasure was.Meng Xiaowen saw that he looked at him and didn't answer, thinking that he only talked about Chu Zheng, which made him uncomfortable.

"Then what, it's not just Chu Zheng, I really hope you go too..."

"Okay, I'll ask him this afternoon, you go back first."

Meng Xiaowen pouted and looked at Zhuang Yi for a while, then stood up and prepared to leave.

"Then I'll come find you after school."

After speaking, he turned around a little disappointed and left.Zhuang Yi sighed, lying on the table, his mind was a little messed up.

There was a physical education class in the afternoon, just after the last class, Chu Zheng called his classmates to play ball, Zhuang Yi sat in his seat in a daze.Chu Zheng went out and found that there were few people around him, so he returned to the classroom,

"Zhuang Yi!"

Zhuang Yi was called back to his senses, and looked up at him in a daze,

"Let's go. What are you thinking about?"

"Oh."

Zhuang Yi got up and cleared the table briefly, then walked towards him.Chu Zheng walked up to him and looked at him,

"what happened?"

Zhuang Yi looked up at him, wondering if Chu Zheng had grown taller.

"Let's go, talk while walking."

Chu Zheng and Zhuang Yi went downstairs side by side,

"It was at noon, and Xiaowen from class three came to ask me, saying that his classmates were going to have a birthday party on Saturday, and asked if we could go."

"They have a birthday party in their class, what are they asking us to do?"

Chu Zheng asked suspiciously,

"that is..."

Zhuang Yi was a little hesitant, he didn't know what to say, or he didn't want to say the reason at all.Seeing his hesitation, Chu Zheng became even more curious.

"What is it?"

"Hey...the classmate in their class seems to like you, so I asked you to go, maybe because I want to get to know you."

After Zhuang Yi finished speaking, he felt as if there was a thorn in his mouth, which was extremely unpleasant.After Chu Zheng listened, he blinked innocently,

"Forget it, I don't know each other, how embarrassing."

Zhuang Yi looked up at him, feeling a little relieved for no reason, but the thorn was still not pulled out,

"He's a class flower, don't you even think about it?"

Chu Zheng shook his head, shrugged again,

"I don't want to mess with these things."

"Then you never want to fall in love? Marriage and having children are not necessary in the future."

"Get married and have children? How long will it be? It's a waste of time to talk about it now. I plan to go to the army after graduating from high school. I have to talk about it, so there is no need for it."

Chu Zheng chatted with Zhuang Yi, and Zhuang Yi felt relieved after hearing these words, and his mood improved unconsciously.Chu Zheng glanced at him, thinking that he was laughing at himself, so he reached out and poked him,

"What are you laughing at? What about you, you and that Xiaowen have gotten very close recently."

Zhuang Yi didn't expect Chu Zheng to ask about Meng Xiaowen, so he glanced at him with a smile,

"What, her sister and my sister are classmates in high school, and they have a good relationship. She came to my house to play, but she also came along, and then we met. She has a very cheerful personality, so it is very pleasant to be a friend."

Chu Zheng looked at him with raised eyebrows, Zhuang Yi felt uncomfortable, so he stretched out his hand to imitate the way he poked himself just now, and poked him too.

"It hurts to poke me, and it makes you feel it too."

"Hey! I just poked it... ah..."

Zhuang Yi chased Chu Zheng all the way to the basketball court.
