Euthanasia

The entire small town hasn't changed much. Since Liu Zhiwei left, the train station in the entire city has been renovated once, the roads have been repaired several times one after another, and several new buildings have been built, but the overall layout has not changed significantly.

"Maybe it's because I come back every year," Liu Zhiwei said, "I don't think much has changed here, but many people who have been away all the year round feel that they have changed a lot after returning home."

There are also foreign tourists in the small town, but they are rare. When Jon passed by, many people stared at him.

"Is your school here?" Jon ignored those impolite gazes and asked Liu Zhiwei with his head up.

"Yes, it's right here. This city is very small, and it's only two streets away." Liu Zhiwei pushed Jon forward slowly, passing old residential buildings and many small shops with blurred signboards.

"My high school is the best school in our province, so the school is often refurbished. It doesn't look old, but the shops around are very old, and I started to eat it when I was young." Liu Zhiwei pointed to those wonton shops and noodle shops, Tell Jon how he used to solve the three meals.

"I like the wontons in this store very much," Liu Zhiwei said, pointing to a narrow storefront. "They make a big pot, pack small chaos, the skin is very thin, and there is only a little bit of meat in it. Add a small piece of lard, sprinkle with chopped green onion and salt, the taste is very delicious.”

Jon swallowed when he heard that.

"I used to serve a bowl in my own mug with a lid because plastic lunch boxes are expensive."

Jon kept his eyes on the store until Liu Zhiwei pushed him away.

After passing by those restaurants, a medium-sized Xinhua Bookstore appeared.The signboard has also faded, but there are many people coming in and out.

Next to the Xinhua Bookstore is a restaurant with much better conditions than the surrounding buildings. Liu Zhiwei said: "Let's eat here first." Neither he nor Jon had lunch. Although it was only around four o'clock, Jon Already hungry.

The grade of the restaurant is of course not as good as the restaurants in the city where their home is located, but compared to other nearby restaurants, it is already two classes.

After sitting down, Liu Zhiwei randomly ordered some of Jon's favorite dishes, and said while ordering: "Many parents here will invite teachers to dinner, in order to let their children receive more attention and achieve better grades."

"Don't teachers treat everyone equally?" Jon couldn't help but ask.

"Sometimes it's not, and sometimes the parents think it's not." Liu Zhiwei shrugged, "My father is a teacher, but he also gave gifts to other teachers."

Jon couldn't say anything, so he could only "wow".

The food came quickly, and the waiter gave Jon a second look like everyone else.After watching Jon, he took another look at Liu Zhiwei.

Liu Zhiwei's appearance and temperament are a bit different from those of the people in this small town. The waiter couldn't help asking: "Brother, are you here for a tour?"

Liu Zhiwei smiled and said, "No, my hometown is here, come back and have a look."

"Hey, people here! I can't tell, they have a celebrity aura." The waiter's interest was immediately aroused, "Where are you from? I know all the people here. I grew up here since I was a child. .”

Liu Zhiwei pursed his lips and didn't elaborate, just said: "It's in the east."

The waiter heard that Liu Zhiwei didn't want to say more, so he changed the subject again: "Is this your friend?"

Liu Zhiwei looked at Jon, and Jon stretched out his hand and said, "Hi, Liu Xiaoming."

Liu Zhiwei: "..."

"Oh, it's really foreign," the waiter shook hands with him, "Li Zhu, Zhu Zhu, my mother heard from a Feng Shui master when I was a child that I had a girl name that would be easy to raise, hehe. How about you, buddy?"

"Liu Zhiwei." Liu Zhiwei smiled.This name is too common, there can be seven or eight Liu Zhiwei in this city.

The waiter said: "Where can we go to play later?"

"Look at the school, I used to study here." Liu Zhiwei added another sentence.Seeing that he started to move his chopsticks, Li Zhu left wisely: "Then eat, call me if you need something, I'll ask the chef to cook two fat pig's trotters for you."

The fat pig's trotter came up, and Liu Zhiwei left both of them to Jon.He pointed to the teaching building outside the window and said, "Did you see that green building? The fifth floor, where I used to be in my third year of high school. The blue building on the left is our dormitory, and we have to be in school all day. Here, you can only leave the school on Saturdays and Sundays."

"It's horrible, like a barracks."

"For the sake of higher education rate," Liu Zhiwei said, "Even so, Yang Shuo and I would sneak out over the wall every night, either to play games in Internet cafes, or to sing in KTV. More than ten years ago, there were only a few songs in KTV. There are dozens of old songs, and even fewer ones that suit the taste, we can only sing those three or two songs over and over again."

Jon bit his chopsticks and said, "Can you sing for me?"

"...Next time," Liu Zhiwei blushed, "It's really old and disgusting..."

Jon showed a knowing smile.

"Don't look at me like that." Liu Zhiwei slapped his face away angrily.

After eating and drinking, the two finally walked into the school.It is the weekend now, and there are no children in the school. The school is like a water plant after the floodgates have been opened, with only permanent staff and some teachers inside.

When Liu Zhiwei pushed Jon in, no one even stopped them—even the doorman went to dinner.

It was not completely dark yet, Liu Zhiwei pushed Jon around a full circle, finally found an elevator, and sat on the fifth floor.

All the classroom floors were quiet, the children had left and no one wanted to stay.Liu Zhiwei came to a classroom door, opened the door, and let Jon in.

The entire classroom was crammed with small, tightly packed desks filled with problem sets and test papers. It was difficult for Jon's wheelchair to pass, so he simply stood up with his crutches.

Liu Zhiwei carefully inspected each desk at the back of the classroom, then pointed to a seat in the third-to-last row and said, "This is it! This is where I used to sit. When we change seats, we will change the desks together. Look here Has my name."

Jon stepped forward immediately, only to see the words "Liu Zhiwei" engraved on the corner of the small table.

The handwriting of those three characters is still very green, not as smooth as when Liu Zhiwei wrote his own name now.

"Our classrooms and seating are changing all the time, and I don't have the same passion for my desks," Jon said.

Liu Zhiwei laughed "puchi": "We would secretly eat and pass notes in class. When we clean up the desk after a school year, we can always find dry orange peels, candy wrappers, or half-passed paper in the corner. piece."

Liu Zhiwei sighed with emotion: "I miss it so much."

"Do you want to go back to that time?" Jon said.

Liu Zhiwei turned his head to look at Jon.

Jon was standing there leaning on his wheelchair, and the light of the sunset came in from one side of the window, dyeing the desks in the classroom and Jon's hair orange.

"I don't want to," Liu Zhiwei said, "I didn't have you in the past."

Jon was taken aback for a while.Then he said, "May I kiss you here?"

"There are surveillance cameras in the classroom." Liu Zhiwei raised his eyebrows and said with a smile.

"Then you have to kiss me for 10 minutes when you go back," Jon said, "not less than 1 minute."

After Liu Zhiwei and Jon left the school, they found a clean hotel nearby and checked in.They booked a standard room, and Jon was a little reluctant.Liu Zhiwei changed the subject and said: "There is a 'night market' here at night, do you want to see it?"

"What's 'Night Market'?" Jon asked.

"Going north, there is an ancient city street used to attract tourists. At night, small vendors will set up stalls on the street," Liu Zhiwei said. "Lanterns will be lit, and there will always be many people at night in summer."

Jon immediately jumped up from the bed: "What are you waiting for?"

The night market was already open, the sky was completely dark, and red lanterns began to light up on the streets of the old city.Liu Zhiwei slowly pushed Jon's wheelchair forward.The whole city seemed to flock to this street.People crowded shoulder to shoulder and poured into this ancient street from all directions.

The street illuminated by Jon's lights at night was far more beautiful than during the day. Jon looked at the two rows of lanterns above and the street vendors yelling in all directions, his excited face was reflected in red.

There are everything sold on the street, some selling food, some selling small toys, Liu Zhiwei was afraid of being separated from Jon, so he didn’t leave his wheelchair for half a minute, but Jon suddenly couldn’t move in front of the stall selling stinky tofu up.

"I want to eat stinky tofu." Jon said.

Liu Zhiwei told Jon to stay there, and went up to buy a bunch of stinky tofu.

When he was paying, he heard someone beside him say, "Give me two strings of stinky tofu."

Liu Zhiwei suddenly froze for a moment.He raised his head extremely slowly, only to see a young man standing on the side, and a woman holding his arm was separated between them.

As if aware of Liu Zhiwei's gaze, the young man turned his head.

Liu Zhiwei turned around indifferently, walked towards Jon, and handed him the stinky tofu.

Jon ate a piece of stinky tofu, vaguely aware of something, slightly turned his head to look behind Liu Zhiwei, only to see a young man staring at Liu Zhiwei's back.

Even in such a dim light, Jon still recognized the other party - Liu Zhiwei's cousin, Yang Shuo.

Yang Shuo is not as young as in the photo, he looks very ordinary, and has changed a bit from before, not so much like Liu Zhiwei anymore.The woman beside him followed his gaze and looked over: "Are you a foreigner?"

Then she saw Liu Zhiwei took off his mask, she couldn't help but said: "So handsome..."

Yang Shuo subconsciously pulled out his arm held by the woman.But when he tried to take a step forward, he saw the foreign man standing up suddenly with a cane, as if he was going to walk towards him, but he was stopped by Liu Zhiwei.Without hesitation, Liu Zhiwei grabbed Jon's collar, stopped him at the back of his neck, and made him bow his head. Right in the middle of the crowded night market, he kissed Jon directly and without hesitation.

The red firelight outlined their faces into a dim and illusory shape, and they kissed so forgetfully, the tall foreign man put his arms around Liu Zhiwei's back with his free arms, putting half of his strength on Liu Zhiwei.

A look of disgust appeared on the woman's face: "It's disgusting, homosexual..."

She grabbed Yang Shuo twice, but found that Yang Shuo was looking at them steadily. "What are you doing? Hurry up!" Yang Shuo shook her off impatiently.

The people coming and going were all watching, and some even raised their mobile phones.

Liu Zhiwei separated Jon at the same time someone raised his mobile phone and put on a mask.He squinted at Yang Shuo across the crowd, as if laughing at his cowardice.Jon followed his gaze and glanced at the other party, and couldn't help sneering.He sat down slowly with the support of Liu Zhiwei, and let Liu Zhiwei push him forward.

"Damn it, I ate stinky tofu..." He suddenly remembered something.

"It really stinks." Liu Zhiwei laughed out loud.

"...Can I buy a bunch of candied haws as compensation?"

"You can't cover up the taste even if you eat sweets." Liu Zhiwei said ruthlessly.

"Damn!" Jon whispered to himself.

"But I don't care," Liu Zhiwei continued, "Did you hear that? I don't care."

Jon raised his head and looked up at Liu Zhiwei with a hearty smile on his face.Liu Zhiwei couldn't help but lowered his head and kissed the tip of his nose through the mask. "I don't even care that you are disabled, why would I care about that?"

Jon just looked up at Liu Zhiwei while eating stinky tofu.His eyes were full of the flames of lanterns, like red sparks.

"When love develops to the point of sex, everyone will find that it is primitive and dirty," Liu Zhiwei said lightly, "but maybe that is the most primitive appearance of love, dirty and selfish. I may be the most selfish The one because I want to keep love in its most primitive form."

"You're not right," Jon looked up at him. "I think everything about you is beautiful, pure, and flawless. From the inside out, you are the most perfect person I can find."
