The next morning, when the sky was only dim, Xu Zhiyuan got up.

When Li Anrong saw his long gown with his head back from afar, he knew that he had "relapsed".Pushing a cup of hot soybean milk and asking him where he was going, Xu Zhiyuan put the notebook under his arm with a dignified appearance, took the soybean milk respectfully, and said, "Go to study."

This is something even more novel than the sun coming out from the west, Li Anrong naturally does not believe it, but it is precisely because she firmly believes that the little bastard must be doing other things in the guise of learning, so she does not appear surprised, He casually instructed: "Come back early... By the way, I will go buy some medicine for A Yao. I heard him say that he is almost finished eating yesterday."

"...Little uncle's medicines are taken care of by quack doctors himself. I don't know what he takes."

Pei Linwan poked his head out from Li Anrong's side, and said, "Father asked me to deliver Ah Yao several times."

Seeing her there, Xu Zhiyuan cleared his throat, trying to cover up the "quack doctor" sound.So he asked her what the medicine was, Pei Linwan shook his head and said, "I can't remember their names...but I saw an empty bottle on A Yao's table yesterday, brother, you can tell the doctor about that, the doctor will definitely give it to you." Know it."

Li Anrong looked down at her, and smiled softly: "Xu Zhiyuan, you are not as sensible as other children."

Xu Zhiyuan rolled his eyes at Comrade Li Anrong, finished drinking, put the cup with some bean dregs on the table, and said, "...I'll go find it."

He went upstairs and tiptoedly pushed open the door of Yu Yao's room.

Maybe it's because I was a little tired yesterday, but Yu Yao hasn't woken up yet.

The curtains were not drawn tightly, and a narrow gap of Chuyang was let in.According to what Pei Linwan said, Xu Zhiyuan found an empty medicine bottle on the table and stuffed it into his pocket.

He wanted to leave at this point, but he played a live drama for himself in his heart. After several battles with the characters, he finally decided to pretend to be casual and glance at Yu Yao on the bed—that look can be said to be "stiff and casual". It was so lifelike, but when his eyes touched Yu Yao, all the "acting skills" he spent a few seconds concocting were all in vain.

Xu Zhiyuan's attention was attracted by the red rope around Yu Yao's neck. It brushed against the corner of his lips, trembling slightly with his breath, and the silver Buddha at the end of the rope was buried with his hair.The desire in Xu Zhiyuan's heart urged him to sniff the part of his fair neck hidden under the collar of his coat, but his rationality restrained him from revealing it.

He stretched out his hand slowly without changing his face, and stuffed the silver Buddha back into his clothes for him.Perhaps because of being chilled by the small piece of silver, Yu Yao turned his head.Xu Zhiyuan withdrew his hand in time, and his fingers only slightly touched his chin.

There are a few photos on the bedside, probably Yu Yao was flipping through last night before going to bed.Xu Zhiyuan took a look, and once again saw the young boy holding the red-crowned crane.

Looking at Yu Yao's sleeping face, he didn't know what was churning in his heart.

Will the little uncle miss his white bird?

Xu Zhiyuan also secretly read the poems written by Yu Yao in his notes. He is a person full of romance in his bones, Xu Zhiyuan thought to himself.

His longing will reserve space for stars, wind and rain, and birds, as if he doesn't want to waste more on the ordinary world.Sometimes Xu Zhiyuan would quietly think that the little uncle is intimate and not obscene, and it is probably difficult to touch his feathers.

Xu Zhiyuan put down the photo, took a deep look at him, covered him with the quilt, and went out with complicated emotions.

……

Near the end of the new year, there are not many bookstores still in operation, and a clean and elegant "habitation place" like Yangzhi is even rarer.The students usually recommend each other, and the Yangzhi Bookstore is quite popular.It was the school holiday, and many intellectuals who took a break from the busy year gathered here.

After coming and going, the owner of Yangzhi Bookstore knew Xu Zhiyuan a lot, and the owner reserved a seat for him in advance, which is the seat he and Yue Jianliu often take when they come here.

After Xu Zhiyuan sat down, he began to look out the window with his chin resting on his chin. From here, he could see a small garden with mountains and water, and two fat white rabbits, all of which belonged to the boss himself, for tired intellectuals to rest their eyes. of.

He was thinking wildly amidst the sound of flipping books.It's nonsense to say anything to learn, the words in the book are a group of crooked ants, running everywhere, hanging on his eyelashes and pulling his eyelids heavily, but they just can't crawl into Xu Zhiyuan's brain.

He flipped through all the books in a symbolic manner, and when he recovered from his daze, he did not know how much time had passed.The young people who were sitting next to him said in groups of who they were going to for dinner, but Xu Zhiyuan, who wasted the whole morning, slumped his head on the book and regretted the passage of time.

At noon, people were walking scattered, and Xu Zhiyuan was about to roll up his pen and paper and leave, but a familiar voice came from his ear, making his steps stagnate.

"Are you ready? Just take a book, why are you so slow?"

"Master, the boss said that the book you want has the old and new editions. I also... don't know which one you want."

"Why do you want the old one if you have the new one?" Dong Yibai walked in, saw two heavy brown leather-bound books on the table, picked up the one on top and held it in his hand.

Xu Zhiyuan sighed in his heart about his fate with Dong Yibai for committing crimes, and overheard Dong Yibai reading a bunch of book lists with the boss, plus the ones his servants had picked up earlier, the stack was half his height.

The servant hurriedly moved the books into the car one after another, the bookstore was covered by other people, and Dong Yibai did not see "Xu Mingzhi" this time, so he walked out and said to the servant: "Okay, wait Don’t be in a hurry to go back..." He lowered his voice a little, and said, "Dongyuli next to the photo studio is about the third alley from the north, go there to find people."

The servant and Xu Zhiyuan became alert at the same time, especially Xu Zhiyuan - because he was very familiar with that place.

The servant asked cautiously: "Master, I don't understand... What are you looking for, didn't you invite your personal trainer, Mr. Yu, to meet there?"

"Joke, what a fucking personal trainer. His good nephew scolded my family's lackeys, and he came to earn my family's money. I have never seen such a shameless person." Dong Yibai snorted, and did not avoid it. Putting his hands in his pockets, he said calmly, "I hired two workers from my brother's factory to teach him a lesson."

The servant panicked: "This..."

"Don't worry, I've taught them to keep their mouths shut and act with discretion. When the time comes, you can just send the person surnamed Yu to the hospital. You don't need to say anything else, the cause and effect will be made up for you."

There was the sound of books falling to the ground beside him, Dong Yibai didn't care, he got up and got into the car after speaking, the servant looked at his young master's side face obediently, and had no choice but to obey.

When Xu Zhiyuan squeezed out of the crowd with a sullen face, the car had already started to drive away, his uncontrollable anger made him curse, and when he was holding on to the bookshelf, he accidentally pushed down another stack of books.

"...Yuaner?"

Fu Shubai was holding a stack of books, apparently coming to return them, and happened to bump into this scene when he walked to the door, he called Xu Zhiyuan's name suspiciously.

The boss heard the movement, went around the front desk to check, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Xu Zhiyuan hastily pulled up the paddles and put them in order, left a message to the boss, "I'm sorry", and without a word, pulled up Fu Shubai, and ran quickly.

When a person is controlled by extreme emotions, his heart and brain will be like a lunatic, but Xu Zhiyuan is terribly silent, his face is expressionless, he does not need to deliberately distinguish the direction, and his steps subconsciously find his way.

Until Fu Shubai, who kept calling him, pulled him hard, and shouted: "What's going on with Xu Zhiyuan, don't just drag me into silence!"

Xu Zhiyuan's skin was very cold, and he pointed that the head portrait was going to be buckled into Fu Shubai's wrist, he gritted his teeth and said, "I'm going to kill the grandson Dong Yibai."

"You... calm down first, what's wrong with him?"

Xu Zhiyuan mentioned the location, and said, "He asked someone to intercept Yu Yao."

Fu Shubai twitched the corner of his mouth: "What?"

Xu Zhiyuan walked and said in a deep voice: "Go and call the crows and the others. If something happens to Yao'er today, none of these dogs will come out of Dongyu."

"This is gathering a crowd to make trouble, and you are going to be detained, young master!" Fu Shubai desperately pinned him down with his arms, "Don't use violence to control violence, you have to call the police first..."

"You think his father is a vegetarian? Can the police control them!"

"Master Xu is not here now, so you must not force it!" The two of them were about to reach the Shikumen at their destination, and Fu Shubai used his whole body to hold him back, preventing him from going any further.

Xu Zhiyuan regretted bringing him here in a hurry, and was holding back his anger and asking him if he would let go, when suddenly, he saw a familiar figure turning into their sight.

"..."

Yu Yao was straightening his sleeves as if nothing had happened. When he looked up, he happened to see the still scene of Xu Zhiyuan and Fu Shubai tugging. The three of them looked at each other in silence for a while, and Yu Yao spoke first: "Zhiyuan... what are you doing here?"

Xu Zhiyuan immediately replied: "...Let's take a picture."

Fu Shubai stared at him, let go immediately, and responded with nonsense: "...Well, the photo expresses affection, and it is very commemorative."

"Go back early after the filming," Yu Yao said. He paused for a moment on Xu Zhiyuan, and when he walked over, he suddenly thought of something, and then walked back, saying, "By the way, did An Rong ask you to buy it for me today?" Medicine? Have you bought it yet?"

Xu Zhiyuan's fire had just been removed, and now it's like a teapot that has been boiled and no one pours it. The whole pot is empty and steaming, and it cools down embarrassingly.He rubbed his nose and said, "Ah, I haven't gone yet."

"I told her no need, she's always too worried." Yu Yao sighed helplessly, and said softly, "The one Pei Zhen gave me before he left is enough to eat until he comes back...there's no need to go to Zhiyuan."

Xu Zhiyuan said dryly "Oh" again.Yu Yao looked at him, then at Fu Shubai whose hands and feet were unnatural, hesitated to speak, picked up the bag and went back.

Seeing Yu Yao walking away and looking at his back, which was safe and sound, Fu Shubai spoke: "...are you bluffing me?"

"I'm bluffing you." Xu Zhiyuan frowned, feeling a little puzzled, and patted him on the shoulder, motioning him to follow.

The two detoured into the alley, and finally found Xu Zhiyuan's failed "hero to save the beauty", and saw the two embarrassed people helping each other to stand up, and when another figure appeared, I was so frightened that I bumped my back against the stone wall, and rubbed off a piece of dust covered with snow.

The two tacitly pretended to be passers-by and walked over. When they were far away, they heard rough curses of different sensuality from behind.

In the angry background, Fu Shubai curled his lips and said, "...Young Master."

Xu Zhiyuan said indifferently: "If you fart, let it go."

Fu Shubai regained his old line of yin and yang strangeness: "Would you like me to 'review' for you, who was the person who punched you down in the ginkgo leaf field in front of No. [-] classroom?"

"..." How could he forget.

Xu Zhiyuan said: "...Shut up when you're done."
