sweet kiss bitter summer

No. 32, Wang Street, North District, Fengchao City.

It was the height of summer, and the wind at night was like a heat wave, which made the chirping of insects in the mud in the grass dry, and it continued all night long.

But Liang Luo'an can't hear these now.

An old warm yellow lamp was lit in the spacious courtyard in front of the house, densely packed shadows of flying insects swayed under the lamp, were driven away by people waving their hands, and quickly gathered again.

Two rectangular wooden tables were set up in the middle of the yard, covered with a layer of plastic sheeting, and the dishes in the dishes were eaten in disorder.

The adults sitting together were full of food and drink, and some had the strength to talk and chat, making the whole small courtyard very noisy.

Liang Luo'an is not very suitable for this kind of occasion, but after dinner, he can only sit with him honestly. After all, they are guests kindly invited by his parents, and they are also good neighbors in the neighborhood on weekdays. Today is to celebrate him and Tan Chen When you receive a letter of acceptance from a university, you can't be too rude.

The neighbor sitting on the left, Uncle Sun, drank another glass of white wine. The smell of alcohol was choking, and his posture became rough. He put one leg on the stool and gesticulated with chopsticks in mid-air for a long time before he took a mouthful of cold food and put it into his mouth.

Liang Luo'an frowned, worried that she would be accidentally injured, so she quietly moved her buttocks to the right, and put her whole body on Tan Chen beside her without showing any signs of expression.

Tan Chen was wearing a loose white vest, and the boy's muscular young arms were exposed, with smooth and full arcs, which easily reminded people of the green wheat seedlings growing wildly in the countryside.

Liang Luo'an's slightly cool skin stuck to it, and immediately felt Tan Chen's higher body temperature, and the place where the skin was close to was sweating quickly.

He felt a little uncomfortable, but he didn't want to leave too much, so he took his arm with his shoulder and rubbed it lightly once in a while.

Tan Chen seemed to feel Liang Luoan's discomfort, turned his head slightly, lowered his eyes to look at him, and asked in a low voice: "What's wrong?" "It's hot, so annoying."

Liang Luo'an also whispered, answering with a volume that only the two of them could hear.

Tan Chen asked him again: "Do you want to eat watermelon? Ice it in cold water. It's in the kitchen. Let's go together?" "Okay, let's go."

Liang Luo'an readily agreed, and after Tan Chen greeted the people at the table, they walked into the room together, the kitchen facing the door.

Liang Luo'an went to turn on the faucet first, and the icy-cold feeling poured out. He took a few handfuls with his hands and rinsed his mouth, washing away the nasty sticky touch left on his lips after eating greasy food.

"Luan, open your mouth."

Hearing Tan Chen's voice, Liang Luo'an first turned his head and opened his mouth, chewed it a few times before realizing that Tan Chen stuffed a piece of watermelon into his mouth with a spoon.

Tan Chen gave this watermelon a very large piece, but Luo An's mouth was small, so it was very difficult to eat, the sweet watermelon was juicy/flowing in the mouth, and accidentally leaked a little from the edge of the mouth, Tan Chen smiled and pointed it with his thumb rub off.

"Well."

Liang Luo'an swallowed most of the mouthful with difficulty, and his mouth had room to speak. He leaned on Tan Chen's back to watch him handle the watermelon, and asked amusedly, "Tan Chen, are you really digging such a big hole in the middle of the watermelon? How bad it is."

"The best part of the whole watermelon is just this one bite. After putting it on the table, I don't know whose mouth it will go into. Anyway, you will definitely not eat it, believe it?" Tan Chen looked back at him with a smile.

"letter."

Liang Luo'an nodded very convinced, and asked again: "Then do you really want to move this big hole to the table?" Liang Luo'an hesitated to get the spoon.

"It's not hygienic to use a spoon."

Tan Chen pulled Luo'an's hand back, put the kitchen knife under the faucet and rinsed it, "Cut it into pieces, and you won't be able to see it."

"Ah! Tan Chen, if only I were as smart as you!" Liang Luoan put his face on Tan Chen's shoulder and sighed sincerely.

Tan Chen changed the kitchen knife from one hand to another, and the shoulder Liang Luoan was leaning on would not move much, so he let Luo An lean on it like this, and comforted him while cutting watermelon: "It's not like I'm admitted to the same university. Is it? So there is no difference at all, and no one will say that you are not smart, ah, be good. "

"Can the best major and the worst major be the same..." Liang Luo'an muttered a little dejectedly, but he didn't really mind it, because Liang Luo'an was very aware of the relationship between himself and Tan Chen since he was a child. difference.

It is an indisputable fact that Tan Chen is much smarter than him.

Liang Luo'an helped put the watermelon into the plate. At this time, Tan Chen brought a sliced ​​watermelon to his mouth. He opened his mouth, but it was still too big for his mouth, so Luo'an only bit off half of it. , the remaining half was put into his mouth and eaten by Tan Chen without hesitation.

"Same."

Tan Chen chewed on the watermelon, and took a deep look at Luo'an.

After Liang Luo installed the watermelon, he went to wash his hands under the faucet. Tan Chen was walking out with a plate of watermelon. Liang Luo'an followed behind him, gently hugging Tan Chen's waist.

"Anyway, it's good that I can continue to be with you."

Liang Luo'an said very quietly, Tan Chen didn't hear it, but Luo'an didn't care, as if he was only talking to himself.

The people at the table didn't know what they were discussing again. They saw two people walking into the yard one after the other, and brought the topic back to them.

"Look, after so many years, the children have grown up, and they are still so good, just like your own."

"Tan Chen is also a good boy... If Luo An is a little girl, isn't this a ready-made son-in-law!" "Old He, don't talk nonsense."

Liang's mother interrupted, "It's not a son-in-law. The children have grown up. If you hear it, you won't be happy."

The table was quiet for a while, and when Tan Chen and Liang Luo'an sat back to their seats, Liang's mother looked at them kindly, and said with some relief: "Tan Chen and Luo'an are good children, they have always been, I know it.

I don't have high requirements now, just study hard, live a good life, get married and start a business when I grow up, and our family is harmonious and beautiful. "

Liang Luo'an looked at the faint tears in her mother's eyes, and didn't know what to say for a moment, and the others seemed to be the same. The yard became quiet, and the sound of leaves fluttering and insects chirping could be heard.

After sitting for an unknown amount of time, the watermelon was almost eaten, and the neighbors in the neighborhood left one after another and went home, leaving only four people in the family.

Hastily cleaned up the mess on the table, leaving four benches, Tan Chen brought cattail fans and water, and they sat quietly for a while in the slightly cool night wind.

When Luo'an and Tan Chen were preparing for the college entrance examination, the whole family was very nervous. The two of them were bored in the house, and the two adults took care of the daily life. It had been a long time since they had such a leisurely time.

"Mom is really happy that Luo'an can be admitted to the same university as Tan Chen."

Mother Liang said, as if she wanted to shed tears again, she wiped her eyes with her hands, and then laughed again, "You can take care of each other outside in the future, mother is very at ease.

Especially in Luo'an, there are many things to do, thanks to Tan Chen these years, and I will rely on Tan Chen a lot in the future. "

"Auntie, don't say that."

Tan Chen comforted, "Our family has raised me until now, and they have shown me great kindness.

It's impossible for me not to be good to Luo'an, as well as my uncles and aunts. I have long regarded you as my biological parents. "

Liang Luo'an fiddled with the rubber bands of Tan Chen's shorts, lowered his head and said in a low voice, "Tan Chen, it's so sensational, don't say that."

Tan Chen smiled, didn't speak, just looked down at Luo An pulled out the rubber band for a long time, knotted it and then loosened it.

"Your relationship has always been so good, and my mother and I are also very pleased."

Father Liang shook his cattail fan, and he, who had always been reserved, couldn't help saying sincerely: "I hope you will always be like brothers in the future, and we will always be a family."

Tan Chen nodded, his voice suddenly became a little hoarse, he answered "OK", took a sip from the water glass.

"Ah, yes, Tan Chen."

Mama Liang suddenly remembered, "Bring your things tomorrow and go to see your mother, and tell her the good news by the way, so that she can feel at ease over there, and I will bless you in the future."

Liang Luo'an let go of Tan Chen's trousers, and looked up at Tan Chen.

Tan Chen didn't speak any more, and didn't show any other expressions, just nodded silently.
