White dove

Qin Shu's eyes were a little straight, and he was fixedly looking at a place in front of him. He didn't answer the question about the border town, but seemed to be caught in a long and distant memory. He said: "When I first saw Xiao Tong, he looked like a Squatting at the entrance of the corridor like a kitten, only five years old, shivering from the cold in winter.”

Biancheng's smoking hand stopped, and a picture immediately appeared in front of his eyes. The young and thin Tong Tong showed a stubborn expression, looking at him from a distant time and space.

Qin Shu said to himself: "That was the first time he celebrated the Spring Festival in Yijiang. His mother finally took him back from his grandmother's house. On the first day he came home, his parents quarreled violently. He took advantage of no one Pay attention to sneaking out, and then... got lost and hid at the entrance of the corridor of my house."

As if remembering something, Qin Shu showed a very faint smile on his face: "You don't know, he is so small and thin, but his eyes are fierce, and he looks exactly like a wild cat that wants to bite when he follows him."

"I played crazy outside all afternoon and was rushing home for dinner when I suddenly saw this little thing. I know all the children in the compound, but I haven't seen this one before, so I asked him, who are you? Which one? of? Why are you hiding here?"

"Guess how he answered me?" Qin Shu turned his head and looked at the border city with that faint smile.

The cigarette in Bian Cheng's hand burned a lot of ash and he forgot to flick it. He shook his head and didn't speak.

Qin Shu said: "He squatted still, with his hands tightly hugging his shoulders. He was so cold that his teeth were chattering, but he gritted his teeth and said, "Go away! You blocked my master and came to pick me up!"

With a sound of "puchi", Biancheng couldn't help laughing, and Qin Shu also smiled: "I was also confused at the time, so I asked him, who is your master? Who are you?"

"The little man blushed from holding back, stared at me and said, I am, I am Nezha! My master... I snatched the words, isn't your master Taiyi real? Let me tell you, this year is thirty, Daoist Taiyi is also going home for a reunion dinner, so he won't come to pick you up."

"I know this kid is talking nonsense, but I think it's too cute, Nezha? What do you think he thinks... I teased him again, Nezha, where's your Hot Wheels? Where's Huntian Ling?"

"He stood up, walked out of the shadows, rushed to me aggressively and shouted, I, my Hot Wheels, were confiscated by my mother!"

"Oh my god, I still remember my mood at that time. I was out of breath from laughing, and my tears came out from laughing." Qin Shu laughed so hard now, staring at the border city: "You don't know, just Nezha and Feng The stalk of the fire wheel has been difficult for more than ten years. Thank you for spreading the word. All the children in our school know that there is a new Nezha, and the hot wheel was confiscated by his mother. Later, when we were studying, we didn’t care where we were going. , someone always shouts, it’s too far away! Tong Tong, why don’t you step on Hot Wheels to give us a ride? Sometimes he is late for school and is punished to stand in the corridor, and we would wink and laugh, yo, it’s so slow, today Hot Wheels was caught again Confiscated?"

While Bian Cheng was listening, he couldn't help laughing until his head turned, and couldn't help thinking over and over in his heart, how could he be so cute, so cute.

Qin Shu finished drinking a bottle of Heineken, opened two more bottles, handed Biancheng a bottle, he took a sip, and continued: "You haven't seen him when he was a child, like a doll, but the whole world is not so fierce. doll."

"The skin is even whiter than it is now, and it is rosy. It can't be tanned no matter how much it is exposed to the sun. With long eyelashes, many people mistakenly think it is a girl at first sight. I wanted to tease him, both adults and children, but when I got closer, I realized that I had stepped on a hedgehog. This guy often doesn't say a word, and he fights without saying a word."

"He's so thin, and he didn't grow up when he was a child. How can he beat those pretty boys, but no one is as crazy and desperate as he is. He is afraid of dying in a fight. Within a few months after he came, those children in the courtyard Don’t dare to provoke him.”

"You don't even know how many times I helped him fight and quarrel in those few months, and I could fight with people all over the place without staring at him for a day. Hurt others, I was only a little bit old, just like an old father looking for him all day long in the yard, it broke my heart."

When mentioning the past, Qin Shu showed a lot of tenderness on his face. Under the usual mask of a gentle and good man, there was a bit of sincerity that could be seen in flesh and blood.

"It didn't take long for me to be isolated by the children in the courtyard. I was nicknamed the Flower Guardian and kept calling me the Flower Guardian until I graduated from elementary school. Have you heard the song by Li Keqin? The whole courtyard is full of bastards in front of me Singing the lyrics of the blind change: Greedy evening wind, how dare you kiss him, put down every strand of his hair tenderly and softly, the despicable evening wind, you should not comfort him, you have decided to protect him in your heart for the rest of your life... …The terrible Cantonese sang, which made me turn pale, but Tong Tong didn't respond at all, and stood quietly listening to them finish singing, sometimes applauding."

"In junior high school, everyone's attention was shifted to the girls in their respective classes. Finally, no one was yelling at me and him. I was one level ahead of him, but my studies were far behind him. We did homework together. I still had to ask him questions that I didn’t know. At that time, I thought he was a genius. Occasionally, there were some questions that he couldn’t understand. I can figure out all the questions clearly, I am very puzzled, I go to school and do homework together after school every day, and I don’t see him working extra hard, how can he be able to meet all the homework of my advanced level.”

"In the third grade of junior high school, he skipped a level without making a sound, and directly became the same table with me. I was so shocked that I couldn't catch my breath for a long time. He didn't reveal the words, and he smiled triumphantly when he sat next to me, and said, there will be no more questions he can't solve in the future. Skip a grade?"

"For three years in high school, he has never changed his position as the number one in his grade. He is the second iron in the running water and is the number one. But he is not the kind of hard-working type, and he can't understand the endless sea of ​​questions. He didn't do his homework, and even bet with the English teacher that if he got a perfect score in the test, it doesn't matter whether he can go to the morning self-study... Getting a full score is not a problem for him, but when the news of the bet spread, the boys in the whole grade began to scream. Brother Tong, I respect him from the bottom of my heart."

"The situation in his family, I always thought that after the college entrance examination, he would definitely leave without looking back, and never come back here again. His grades are so good, Peking University and Tsinghua University don't just go to Peking University and Tsinghua University casually. I am different from him. I have no self-motivated mind, just go to university and enter a power station. My parents are determined to get me into this system. Let them go. Anyway, I don’t have any better ideals. When I saw the college entrance examination application form, Tong Tong I actually filled in the same university as mine, I was... I didn't know why he did that at that time, I had never been so angry, I was worried and angry, forcing him to change his choice, that was his future, he didn't want to Have you left Yijiang?"

"He is like a normal person, and he comforted me in turn, alas!" Speaking of this, Qin Shu still couldn't help sighing at this time: "If he had been more ruthless and forced him to change his will, he would not Then it became like this.”

He shook his head again: "But with his character, it's almost impossible for this to happen."

"You can talk about people, I feel so sorry for him, but when I saw my admission notice that was exactly the same as his, I couldn't help being so happy that I got the paper. The first reaction was to run to him, laughing. Become a fool, unable to speak."

After Qin Shu drank the second bottle of wine, Biancheng only took a sip, and Heineken quietly put it beside him. Qin Shu opened another bottle for himself, his eyes flushed a little: "University is still much more free than high school, at least I With him, we can justifiably not go home. He is looking for various part-time jobs, tutors, and working hard to make money. I took all my savings to open this broken bar. At that time, there was not enough money. I gave it all to me... I was one year older than him anyway, and I always felt that he was still the five or six-year-old thin, tough and stubborn kid who needed me to take care of him and help him get ahead. In fact, he has been taking care of him since he grew up Me, give me make-up lessons, solve problems and homework, and because I went to this pheasant university, I also used my only savings to let me realize my so-called ideal.”

Qin Shu held his eye sockets with one hand, and his voice stopped abruptly.

Biancheng only said that sentence from the moment he entered the door, listened to Qin Shu's memories in silence, took out another cigarette, struck a match and lit it, and when Qin Shu moved his hand away and calmed down again, he asked, "Such a good boy?" ,How do you like it?"

Qin Shu turned his head, his eyes were puzzled and confused, and he stared at the border city.

Bian Cheng took a deep breath of the cigarette, exhaled it slowly, and asked the same question repeatedly: "Is this question difficult? I'm just asking you, do you like him?"

Qin Shu realized something was wrong belatedly, he stared straight at the border town: "What the hell are you asking?"

Bian Cheng met his gaze, and said calmly and firmly: "Do you like him? Do you love him? Do you feel impulsive when you see him? Do you understand now?"

The fingers holding the Heineken bottle at the bar were distorted, Qin Shu gasped heavily, clenched his fist with the other hand, his heart was pounding in his chest, and he looked at Bian Cheng with hatred in his eyes.

Bian Cheng held a cigarette in one hand, and said in an unhurried tone: "It seems that I guessed right. You have been moved for a long time, but you have avoided the most fundamental problem. What kind of liking is that?"

"Crack!" With a sound, the Heineken bottle was smashed to the ground, Qin Shu suddenly stood up like an enraged leopard, and punched towards the border city.

Biancheng didn't hide, and received a punch on his jaw, and the small round table and chairs behind him fell down. He stood up, straightened his jaw with his right hand, and said coldly: If you do it, you are still not my opponent."

Qin Shu's eyes were red, and he looked like he was going to eat people, and he roared angrily, "Come on! What a mess in society? I have also been beaten since I was a child, why the hell are you shaking with me in my territory? Ah? You What kind of dirty thoughts are you hiding that you think I don’t know?”

He swung the high stool he was just sitting on, and smashed it down towards Biancheng. Biancheng dodged, bent his elbow to block it, and the hardwood high stool hit his forearm, causing a familiar feeling The pain ran down the arm and into the heart, the bone was broken, Bian Cheng thought, he snatched the stool with the other hand without expression, and threw it into the corner with a raised hand.

"Really want to fight? Okay, I'll accompany you." Bian Cheng spoke with a hint of anger mixed in.

Qin Shu swung his fist again and went straight to the door, Biancheng dodged, and after blocking the fist, he also punched Qin Shu, hitting the cheek and cheekbone.

The whole person leaned to one side, Qin Shu supported the table and barely stood still, his anger was so overwhelming that he lost his mind, he gritted his teeth and sneered: "Finally I can't hide it? So you fell in love with him, you like him? You have an impulse, want to Fuck him? Who the hell are you! You don’t even look in the mirror to see what the hell you are! Are you qualified? A gangster! Do you think Tongtong has a crush on you? Do you think he can catch anything? ..."

"Crack!" Another sound, this time it was Biancheng who smashed the wine bottle, and he walked towards Qin Shu holding half of the broken wine bottle with a livid face. Shumen, he panicked: "What are you going to do, you fucking want to kill someone?"

Biancheng pointed half of the wine bottle at Qin Shu: "Speak cleanly, I don't think about it, I just like him, whether Tongtong can't see me, I like him, Qin Shu, you don't even know what you got , I just feel distressed, but if you act a little courageous and kind, I will just suffocate myself and not reveal a word, but what have you done, like it while denying it? While silently accepting what he gave you All good, pretending to be a buddy? Are you fucking a white lotus?!"

Qin Shu's forehead was sweating, and he argued angrily and urgently: "You fucking know nothing! What kind of future can Tong Tong have with me? Live in this crappy place for the rest of your life, hiding and not being able to see the light? Shit!"

Biancheng sneered: "So there is so much love and consideration for the other party? Didn't it mean that after graduating soon, I couldn't pretend anymore, so I had to tear off the disguise and find a good excuse for myself?"

Qin Shu became angry again, and kicked across the air, the border city dodged, Qin Shu swung the iron pipe chair again, and rushed to smash it in the posture of killing both of them...

The bar was a mess, with broken tables, chairs, beer bottles, and pool cues.

The sound of ping-pong-pong fighting stopped at some point, and the passers-by outside the rolling gate stayed at the gate curiously for a while, not knowing what was going on inside, and left quietly after seeing no movement.

Only one person stood blankly outside the door for a long time. No one noticed when this thin and thin boy appeared and how long he stood there.

It was already dark, and Tong Tong looked into the green island through the rolling gate. After everything was quiet, he turned around silently and left.
