The sound was too loud, and there was a little echo after it rang through, and it exploded in this relatively quiet family area, scaring several people in the store to fuck me at the same time.

"What's happening..." Jiang Shiyu stood up and was about to go outside to have a look.

The cat in Yan An's arms suddenly screamed and struggled to jump out of his arms. Jiang Shiyu glanced over and stopped immediately: "Yan An?"

"Is it..." Yan An frowned. After the cat jumped out of his arms, he could only hold his wrist tightly, "Is it..."

"What is it?" Jiang Shiyu was stunned for a while, then went around to Yan An's side, squatted down and looked at him.

Yan An stared into Jiang Shiyu's eyes, and his slightly parted lips trembled a little. Jiang Shiyu also understood what he was going to say at this moment.

Did someone jump off the building?

The loud sound just now suddenly came from the family area behind, and it was obviously the sound of a heavy object falling to the ground.

There was such a loud muffled sound on the ground.

Did someone jump off the building?

Jiang Shiyu reached out and took Yan An's hand, saving his wrist from the other hand, holding it with moderate strength, Yan An's fingertips felt a little cold.

On such a hot day, the air conditioner in the store was not adjusted so low, his fingertips shouldn't be frozen like this, and there was a fine layer of sweat on his palm.

Jiang Shiyu stared at Yan An in astonishment for a while, and said, "I'll go and have a look."

"Looking at what?" Yan An asked in a daze.

"I'll go and see what's going on, and I'll tell you when I come back," Jiang Shiyu squatted in front of him, and said seriously, "You just wait here for me, okay?"

Yan An looked at him without saying a word.

When Jiang Shiyu was about to get up, he suddenly grabbed Jiang Shiyu's hand very hard, his Adam's apple rolled uncomfortably, and his pupils constricted, as if the loud noise echoed in his ears again and again.

Something is falling from the sky.

fell in front of him.

There was an uncle in the back who pulled it at the most critical moment, otherwise he would fall and hit himself.

There will be his own blood in the blood all over the ground.

Why did he jump off the building?

"Yan An?" Jiang Shiyu called tentatively.

"...No need to go," Yan An said after a long silence, frowning his eyebrows, "If someone really jumped off the building, it would be quite... quite scary to see it, so don't look at it."

Jiang Shiyu squatted back in front of Yan An again.

"I'm fine, I'm just a little scared, it's fine," Yan An took his hand, rubbed it, his eyes were still empty, and murmured, "Don't worry about me."

"...Okay." Jiang Shiyu frowned and nodded.

Yan An didn't intend to let go of him, so Jiang Shiyu tried his best with the other hand, dragged the lazy sofa from his side, and sat with Yan An.

There is no shelter in the store, and they move the sofas together to sit next to each other, and one of them is holding the other's hand. This kind of behavior is quite conspicuous.

When the waiter came to serve the food, he looked at them several times, but finally said nothing.

Ignoring the eyes of the people around him, Jiang Shiyu stretched out his hand for Yan An to hold. After a while, the voice of the waiter and the boss talking suddenly came from over there.

"What happened just now?"

"Someone's quilt fell off...I thought it was something, it sounded like something exploded."

"Quilt."

It's a quilt.

Yan An came back to his senses.

This area is a family area. Although the store is well decorated, the sound insulation was not good when the house was built. In addition, it is quiet now, and the explosion from the family area is particularly scary.

It's not that someone jumped off the building.

Yan An slowly let go of Jiang Shiyu's hand, his fingertips were still stroking his palm.

"Let's find another place to sit for a while," Yan An whispered, "The people here... have been staring at us for a while."

"Okay." Jiang Shiyu actually didn't care much about these eyes, he grabbed Yan An's wrist with his backhand, trying to pull him up.

Yan An put his hands on the sofa twice, and smiled awkwardly: "...fuck, my legs are a little... I can't use my strength."

Jiang Shiyu looked at him for a while, then sat back on the sofa.

"Huh?" Yan An turned to look at him.

"Don't worry about them," Jiang Shiyu frowned and said, "Just sit here."

"Aren't you uncomfortable?" Yan An asked, "The waiter walked around and we looked at it several times..."

"Then look back," Jiang Shiyu said, "Let's keep our eyes on her and see who will be embarrassed first."

Yan An was stunned, leaned back on the sofa, and smiled.

After laughing for a while, he still grabbed Jiang Shiyu's hand and held it, his legs gradually regained some strength, and the feeling of cold hands and feet and tightening scalp gradually subsided.

It was the quilt that fell, not the person.

There will be no bloody scenes, no one shouting for help, no one will come around, no one will say that the person who jumped off the building is a lunatic.

Yan An closed his eyes for a while.

The cat that was scratched by him just now came over again, angrily biting his shoe, Yan An took a breath, brought the cat over with one hand, and pinched the back of the neck: "I'm sorry."

The cat turned its head and bit his hand moderately, without leaving any marks, but it acted as a deterrent, and Yan An subconsciously withdrew his hand.

Jiang Shiyu lifted the cat away, put it aside, and stared at him for a while.

Yan An also raised his eyes, paused to meet his gaze, and smiled a little forcedly: "You don't care about other people's gaze, do you?"

"En." Jiang Shiyu answered him.

"Then..." Yan An hesitated, and said, "Rub your head, Brother Xiaoyu."

Jiang Shiyu immediately turned around and gently rubbed Yan An's head with his free hand.

He remembered the first time Yan An told him the secret, when he talked about the person who jumped off the building and fell in front of his eyes, Yan An's expression and tone were clearly calm.

He even had time to notice that he said I'm sorry, and reminded himself that he didn't need to say sorry, he still had time to pay attention to other people's emotions...

Jiang Shiyu really thought that he was fine, the shadow had passed, and now it seems... Yan An's shadow of that matter has not passed at all.

It can only be said that he has grown up and learned how to hide his emotions.

When something that really touches on that matter strikes, Yan An will even be so frightened that his hands and feet will be weak.

No, the hands are still strong.

With a little more force, Jiang Shiyu felt that his hand was about to be broken. He thought for a while, gritted his teeth, but still didn't make a sound.

"Today's matter...don't tell Xie Lanlan," Yan An said in a low voice, "she will be worried."

"Okay." Jiang Shiyu replied.

"It happened to me a few times before. I... I might not only be afraid of ghosts and blood, but also a little bit afraid of this kind of loud noise. Every time I hear it, it will happen," Yan An explained slowly, "Every time we meet, she is very worried. Let's forget it this time. Don't make her think too much."

Jiang Shiyu continued to nod.

"Actually...that person didn't die," Yan An said, and exerted a little more force in his hand, "But I'm just very scared. I don't know what I'm afraid of. Am I stupid?"

"Not stupid," Jiang Shiyu looked at him, "What's so stupid about this?"

"I'm so old, I'm so scared that I can't walk." Yan An was relieved, "Isn't this stupid?"

"If it was me, I'd pee on the spot." Jiang Shiyu said seriously.

"It's really uncivilized." Yan An sighed while leaning on the sofa.

"Yes," Jiang Shiyu also leaned back on the sofa, and looked sideways at Yan An, "This life has nothing to do with civilization."

Yan An was happy, and there was no difference in expression, but Jiang Shiyu's heart was suspended.

He had always thought that Yan An was the kind of person who was stupid and stupefied, and could enjoy everything for a long time, but now that he thought about it, he didn't seem to be like that.

Yan An also has his own troubles, but he hides them very deeply, and stores all negative emotions, fear, anxiety, hesitation, etc. in his heart. Maybe... except Xie Lanlan, no one knows what he hides.

Seeing Yan An's smile, Jiang Shiyu suddenly felt distressed.

There is an urge to hold Yan An in his arms.

His hand was held by Yan An, and the other hand was hanging beside him. Jiang Shiyu reached out and took Yan An's hand again.

The four hands are clasped together, and there is a friendly aura of meeting revolutionary comrades.

"Do you know that person?" Jiang Shiyu asked after a while.

"Well," Yan An nodded, "Can you see that too?"

"If it was a stranger, the reaction shouldn't be so big," Jiang Shiyu said, "I'll just guess casually."

"...It's my brother," Yan An looked at Jiang Shiyu and thought for a while, "You should have seen him too, I had an impression of him when I was five years old... His name is Ran Hang, do you remember?"

"I have a little impression." After Jiang Shiyu finished speaking, Yan An nodded and did not continue, and Jiang Shiyu stopped asking.

The two sat in the store until the parent meeting was almost over before getting up and leaving. The boss and the waiter seemed to be relieved, but Jiang Shiyu ignored them, and continued to hold hands with Yan An, and left hand in hand. shop.

Because the school forbids students to go to the river bank, there are very few students in this area, and the two of them have been holding hands without letting go, and Yan An didn't mention the matter of letting go.

They held hands and walked for a while, when suddenly a person came in front of them, Yan An seemed to have realized at this moment, immediately withdrew his hand, wiped sweat on his pants, and turned his head to look at the river.

Jiang Shiyu turned his head to look at him, wondering if the sun was too high, he saw that Yan An's face was a little red, and his ears were also a little red.

"Let's go back to school first." Yan An turned around, took a deep breath facing the river, and jumped on the spot, "The meeting should be almost over, my mother told you to come to my house for dinner in the afternoon."

Jiang Shiyu walked up to him, tilted his head and tried to see Yan An's face clearly, but Yan An turned his head and looked away the moment he leaned over to look.

"Huh?" Jiang Shiyu was a little confused.

"Go and buy two popsicles." Yan An walked forward, "I'm thirsty."

"Okay." Jiang Shiyu followed.

The two of them squatted in the canteen and ate a popsicle and a box of ice cream, and then squatted under the tree to look at the sky for a while. It may be because the parent meeting is almost over. In order to avoid being seen through the fact of puppy love, Xie Lanlan returned to the three of them in advance. Group camp.

"Who are you?" Yan An glanced at her.

"You are?" Jiang Shiyu looked at her politely.

"Sausage or drink?" Xie Lanlan asked blankly.

"Baked sausage," Yan An said immediately, "We just finished eating popsicles, so we don't want to drink anything."

Xie Lanlan gave them the middle finger, ran into the canteen and bought some grilled sausages, and the three squatted down to eat together.

Jiang Shiyu looked at Yan An a few more times, and he was relieved after making sure that he was fine. After thinking about it, he felt wrong. Although he and Yan An were the same kind of person, Yan An was obviously better at hiding than him, but The seemingly stable Jiang Shiyu couldn't completely let go of his mind.

Ran Hang jumped off the building?

Jiang Shiyu still had some memories, he met Ran Hang when he was a child in the south, when he was with Yan An and others.

He remembered that he was a very interesting brother, why did he suddenly jump off the building?

Jiang Shiyu frowned, a little confused.

After a while, the parents came out of the teaching building one after another. The trio stood up, packed up the rubbish and threw it into the trash can, and prepared to go to the teaching building.

Yan An suddenly turned his head and looked at Jiang Shiyu: "Are you wondering who Ran Hang is?"

"Huh? No," Jiang Shiyu subconsciously refused, and was stunned for a while, "I didn't..."

"I said before, if you think about something, your thoughts will be exposed on your face." Yan An smiled and jumped again, "Wait until night."

Jiang Shiyu raised his hand and rubbed his back: "I don't have to know."

"It's okay, I want to say... I might have nightmares at night, you can sleep with me, and I'll tell you what happened." Yan An whispered without turning his face.

"Okay." Jiang Shiyu's hand gradually moved up and squeezed the back of Yan An's neck.

Before he could withdraw his hand, Xie Lanlan who was next to him suddenly cleared his throat, Jiang Shiyu withdrew his hand like an electric shock, put it back in his trouser pocket, and then cleared his throat.
