lull her to sleep

"Do you like... people?" An Qiqi repeated in disbelief.

Jiang Ciyue hummed lightly, looked in Su Lezhou's direction, saw her yawn, and couldn't help but smile.

An Qiqi followed her gaze, and before he could see clearly, Jiang Ciyue walked around to block her sight.

"I'm not going to fight anymore, it's time to go home." Jiang Ciyue said.

"Huh? How long has it been?" Duan Xia glanced at her watch, "I've been playing for less than an hour, so stop?"

"Ah."

Jiang Ciyue responded, then walked to Xiao Yu's side and said a few words, Xiao Yu nodded.

Su Lezhou was so bored that she started counting her fingers. Halfway through the count, she felt someone walking in front of her. She thought it was Xiao Yu who was about to go home, so she suddenly looked up, only to see Jiang Ciyue, her expression changed instantly, and her mouth puckered , Said: "Why are you?"

Jiang Ciyue chuckled and said, "Isn't it because you're bored? Come to accompany you."

"Who needs your company?"

Jiang Ciyue didn't answer her, and asked instead: "Did you bring tissues?"

Hearing this, Su Lezhou took out a pack of tissues from his small bag and threw it to her.

"Thanks." Jiang Ciyue took out a piece of paper and wiped her forehead.

Seeing that Xiao Yu had no tendency to leave at all, Su Lezhou frowned and asked, "How long are you going to play?"

"Your sister is still planning to play."

Su Lezhou let out an oh, and after a meeting she didn't respond and asked again: "Aren't you going?"

Jiang Ciyue shook her head and said, "Your sister asked me to take you to play."

Su Lezhou: "?"

"going or not?"

"No." Su Lezhou said again, "It's better to wait for my sister here than to play with you."

After finishing speaking, he said silently in his heart, it is better to die of boredom than death of anger.

"As far as I know, Xiao Yu doesn't care about the time when playing. Maybe she won't bother you if you wait here until dark."

"Besides, this meeting is also a reunion of their old classmates. Are you really going to disturb them?"

Su Lezhou thought for a while, then stood up and replied: "Then I will go home by myself, please tell my sister."

After speaking, he walked away from her.

"Hey."

Su Lezhou ignored it.

"Hey Su Lezhou."

Jiang Ciyue caught up with her, grabbed her wrist, and said, "I'll take you somewhere."

Su Lezhou looked at someone holding her wrist, and struggled a bit: "Where are you going, I won't go."

"You'll know when you go." Jiang Ciyue said.

The restaurant that Jiang Ciyue brought Su Lezhou to is a small restaurant that specializes in fish.

"Come in." Seeing Su Lezhou standing in front of the shop, Jiang Ciyue said.

Su Lezhou didn't respond, and followed her into the restaurant.

"Xiao Jiang is here?" A woman's voice came from the restaurant.

Jiang Ciyue pushed Su Lezhou beside him, and said, "Auntie Cheng, I brought someone here."

"Okay, okay." Cheng Yu glanced at Su Lezhou, then narrowed his eyes, "Little classmate, have I met you somewhere?"

Su Lezhou pursed his lips and replied, "I graduated from No. [-] Middle School."

Cheng Yu nodded, "No wonder it looks familiar."

After saying this, he said to Jiang Ciyue, "Is it still the same?"

Jiang Ciyue nodded: "Add some spiciness."

"Huh? Don't you don't like spicy food?" Cheng Yu was puzzled.

Su Lezhou also looked at her.

"Don't you like spicy food? But the chili at Auntie Cheng's house is very spicy, so you can only add a little."

This time Su Lezhou didn't ask how she knew she liked spicy food, and nodded slightly.

"Okay, Auntie will make it for you."

After speaking, he went to the kitchen.

After sitting down, Su Lezhou looked around and found that there was no change from a few years ago.

In the last month of the first year of high school, she transferred from another school and ate Qingshui fish in this restaurant for nearly a month. At that time, she was still a little unfamiliar and repulsed to the Xiao family, so she would come here to sit down every time after school.

"Why don't you ask me why I brought you here?" Jiang Ciyue asked.

"I don't ask you to tell me." Su Lezhou replied in a low voice.

Then he took two cups from the table and filled a cup of tea for himself and Jiang Ciyue.

Jiang Ciyue raised her eyebrows, as if she didn't expect that she would pour tea for herself.

"You pay."

Jiang Ciyue nodded with a smile, and took a sip from her teacup.

"Why did you bring me here?" Su Lezhou still asked.

"Show you the places I used to visit in high school."

"Did you come here often in high school?" Su Lezhou just said it, and then he reacted and muttered again, "It's none of my business."

Jiang Ciyue automatically ignored her last sentence, and answered her first sentence: "Yes. I often come here in high school."

"Then why haven't I met you?" Su Lezhou's voice was as soft as a mosquito.

"Do you come here often in high school? I heard from your sister that you just transferred after the end of your freshman year?"

"It's been a while since the first year of high school."

Su Lezhou took a sip of tea and replied.

Jiang Ciyue didn't care about the last question when she saw that she ignored it.

The two fell into silence for a while, Su Lezhou looked to the side, and Jiang Ciyue followed her gaze.

The wall on the other side is a wish wall, covered with post-it notes, and the post-it notes are full of crooked words.

"Have you ever written it?" Jiang Ciyue asked.

"No, this is all a lie to children." Su Lezhou's tone was a little mocking.

Jiang Ciyue paused when she heard the words, and then replied: "Aren't you just a child?"

Su Lezhou glanced at her, he didn't want to argue with her now, so he didn't return her.

Jiang Ciyue got up and took the post-it notes and pen from the dining table on the other side, put them on the table and pushed them to her.

"Write it."

"What to write?" Su Lezhou was puzzled.

"Writing wishes, this wall is very effective."

Hearing what she said, Su Lezhou looked at the wall specially.There is a big tree painted on the wall, and the post-it notes are also leaf-shaped. All the post-it notes are pasted on the branches of the big tree.

It looks quite ceremonial.

"Rock paper scissors, write if you win." Jiang Ciyue saw that she hadn't written for a long time, so she spoke directly.

Su Lezhou frowned and looked at her: "Jiang Ciyue, how old are you?"

"Twenty if I remember correctly."

Su Lezhou: "..."

"Why did you make me write this?"

Su Lezhou doesn't want to write too much. For her, wishing will not come true. The wish that really wants to be fulfilled should be realized through her own efforts, not relying on this piece of paper.

Even though she believed it before.

"I want to see what wishes are in the heads of your children."

"Jiang Ciyue, you are only two years older than me, okay?"

"Two years older is also older."

"Old man." Su Lezhou complained, then picked up the pen on the table, twirled it around, wrote a few words on the post-it note, and then pushed the post-it note to her, "It's finished."

Jiang Ciyue glanced at the wish she wrote, and was speechless for a moment.

"Can you write seriously? What are you writing about?"

"Don't you know how to read?" Su Lezhou looked at her strangely.

Jiang Ciyue felt that her calm self-cultivation in the past collapsed when she met Su Lezhou.

"How can I be your senior sister if I can't read? Look at what you wrote."

"Live well, is there a problem?"

Su Lezhou paused every word, as if he didn't understand why Jiang Jiyue made such a fuss.

Jiang Ciyue had nothing to do with her, she knew she would write this sentence, but she didn't let her write it just now.

"Are you looking down on my wish?" Su Lezhou finally noticed the point.

She really didn't expect Su Lezhou's wish to write this.

"You don't have anything you want?"

"I have everything I want."

Jiang Ciyue didn't speak any more.

"Here comes the fish." Cheng Yu brought the cooked fish to the table and served a bowl of rice for the two of them.

Su Lezhou took a pair of chopsticks, only to find that Cheng Yu had been staring at her.

"Aunt Cheng?"

Cheng Yu smiled at her and asked, "I seem to think of you. Did you cry when you first came here? I'm getting old and my memory is not very good, so I didn't remember it for a while."

"Crying?" Jiang Ciyue reacted faster than Su Lezhou, and looked at Su Lezhou suspiciously.

Su Lezhou froze there for a moment, with a slightly embarrassed look on his face, and then said: "At that time, the pressure was a bit heavy near the end of the term."

She answered her question in disguise.

Cheng Yu let out a long cry, and was about to say something when Jiang Ciyue interrupted.

"Auntie Cheng, where's Uncle Li?"

As expected, Cheng Yu's attention was drawn away, and she said back to her: "He, I have something to do in my hometown and went home."

"Then are you busy here alone?"

"It's too busy to be too busy. There are basically no customers when middle school is on holiday."

……

Su Lezhou listened quietly to their conversation without interrupting. She filled a bowl of soup with a spoon, took a sip, and found that the taste was a bit familiar, and there were medicinal herbs in it. Although it had been so long, she could still feel it. The taste of the drink in the first year of high school is the same, so thinking about it, Su Lezhou couldn't help but secretly glanced at Jiang Ciyue.

Couldn't help wondering, did Xiao Yu even tell her about this?

It doesn’t seem right, Xiao Yu didn’t know about this store either, she just came from another city at that time, she felt like a child, she felt abandoned, the whole world owed her, she put on a bad face all day long, thinking about it now , Xiao Yu did endure a lot of himself.

It's really funny to think about it.

"When I was in high school, my parents were busy, so I often came here to eat, and I became acquainted with Aunt Cheng over time."

Jiang Ciyue opened the mouth and said.

"Oh." Su Lezhou didn't answer.

The two adhered to the principle of keeping their mouths shut, and did not speak until the end.

Jiang Ciyue didn't know what she was thinking.

Before leaving, Jiang Ciyue wrote a post-it note and pasted it next to hers.

"I hope the children will be happy every day and grow up healthily." Su Lezhou read along, and then asked, "Who is the child?"

"Everyone in need is a child."

"It's weird." Su Lezhou was a little uncomfortable, always feeling that the words meant something.

Jiang Ciyue smiled and did not answer.

"But it's strange, you said you come here often, so why haven't I met you?" On the way back, Su Lezhou asked suspiciously.

"It's a pity you didn't meet me sooner?"

"It's a pity that I didn't get pissed off earlier?" Su Lezhou said again, "I'm just wondering, okay?"

Every time Su Lezhou says a few good words, people always have the illusion that she is acting like a baby.

Jiang Ciyue didn't tease her anymore, but asked her in a serious tone: "Think about it carefully, have you really never met?"

Su Lezhou thought for a while, and then answered affirmatively: "No."

Jiang Ciyue: "..."

"Never?"

"No." Su Lezhou thought about it carefully, and then said, "But I have indeed heard of it."

Jiang Ciyue's reputation in No. [-] Middle School is indeed great, but Su Lezhou didn't deliberately pay attention to it, only heard it from others.

"Have you met me?" Su Lezhou felt that he understood what she meant.

Jiang Ciyue said coldly: "No."

Feeling a little frustrated after answering.

At night, the dim light of the eye protection desk lamp hits the table.

Jiang Ciyue was looking down for something, after a while Jiang Ciyue found a notebook from the drawer.

Jiang Ciyue flipped through the notebook casually, and took out a folded post-it note from it. It may have been some time, and the writing on it was a little faded.

The handwriting is clean and elegant.

[I want to go home. ]

This post-it note will appear here, it was an impulsive move after she stumbled across it accidentally in her third year of high school.
