Aokawa

Starting from "Jiangnan Garden" and heading to "Sunny Farming and Rainy Reading", they met a cat.

Xu Jingshu happened to have a sausage in his hand, and suddenly he squatted in front of the cat to tease it.Xu Yunzhe walked a few more steps, and found that the people around him were gone. Looking back, he saw that he was almost lying on the ground, just to let the cat look up at him, and he couldn't cry or smile immediately.

Xu Yunzhe didn't call him right away either. Xu Yunzhe stood in the distance and looked at it for a while. When he realized it, he looked up at the signboard of "Adult Products", and his heart suddenly contracted.

So they seem to have sneaked across the "adult" line, and he was even earlier.Xu Yunzhe knew very well that at that time, he probably only crossed that line in "behavior", but what about now?He hesitated for a moment, seeing that Xu Jingshu was patronizing Teaser and would not follow for a while, he walked into the unmanned automatic convenience store, threw the purchased things into his schoolbag, zipped it up, and walked out of the store again.

It only took 2 minutes before and after, and the speed of action and decision-making was related to previous experience. Even so, Xu Yunzhe stepped on a loose stone brick when he stepped out of the door, and almost sprained his foot.

It was too late for Xu Yunzhe to stand firm.

Xu Jingshu, who had half of his sausage eaten by the cat, turned his head. The moment their eyes met, the tense expression on Xu Yunzhe's face and the name of the shop beside him revealed his whereabouts.Xu Jingshu immediately threw the remaining half of the sausage into the dustpan next to the trash can, and without looking at the kitten who ran over to eat, he quickly ran in front of Xu Yunzhe, his eyes full of stars.

Xu Yunzhe cleared his throat in embarrassment, turned around and said, "Let's go."

Xu Jingshu followed, and when the tourists who passed by them had gone away, he asked in a low voice, "Did you buy the lubricant too?" After asking, he really saw Xu Yunzhe's ears turn from a little red to very red.

He covered his mouth with an empty fist and coughed lightly, humming.

Xu Jingshu moved closer to his hand, and asked again: "Can you do it? After all, it's not the same as being a girl."

Xu Yunzhe's face turned as red as a pig's trotter, and it took a long time to slowly fade. His voice was very soft, but not heavy: "It shouldn't be difficult if you do a little research on the Internet."

Xu Jingshu held back his smile, blinked his eyes, and said, "What a master."

Hearing this, Xu Yunzhe finally couldn't help pushing the back of his head hard.

Xu Jingshu staggered a few steps, but stumbled to a self-service game machine store.He hurriedly pulled Xu Yunzhe who was only going forward, and the two of them walked into a store full of claw machines.

In the Jiangnan ancient town, which focuses on ancient literature and art, this kind of claw machine has received a cold reception. Even if there are people coming and going on the street, no one comes in to take a look at the dolls filled with machines.

"This, I want this." Xu Jingshu let go of his hand, his whole face was almost pressed against the glass of one of the claw machines, and he pointed at the seal dolls piled up inside.

"What is this? It doesn't even have a name, right?" Xu Yunzhe had already paid for five game coins with his mobile phone when he said this.

Xu Jingshu heard the sound of game coins falling, and said, "We can name it." He paused, "With two such handsome fathers, it might become a spirit."

Xu Yunzhe's hand on the joystick froze, staring at the box full of seal dolls: "Impossible."

"Why?" He thought for a while, then smiled, "Is it because you can't become a master after the founding of the nation?"

Xu Yunzhe seemed to have stopped talking to him, and concentrated on catching the doll.Xu Jingshu waited at the side, and after a while, he laughed and said, "You still have a sense of humor!"

Through the glass of the game box, Xu Yunzhe glanced at Xu Jingshu's eyes.In fact, many times Xu Jingshu didn't really smile on his face, but he has a pair of eyes that can smile, so people often think that he is smiling.Unlike Xu Yunzhe, if he doesn't smile, his whole face is as serious as poker, with "don't get close to strangers" and "don't disturb acquaintances if nothing happens" written all over his face.

"Wow, that's amazing!" Xu Jingshu looked at his watch, it was not 10 minutes yet!He took the seal doll Xu Yunzhe handed over, and hugged it vigorously, and he could smell the usual factory smell on the new doll.

Xu Jingshu's two slender arms hugged such a little thing, the scene was so funny that Xu Yunzhe wanted to laugh.He said, "Satisfied? Can we go?"

"How many game coins do you have?" Xu Jingshu asked.

Looking at the light in his eyes, Xu Yunzhe took out the remaining three game coins in his pocket and asked, "How many more do you want?"

"One is fine. There are two in total, just like the two of us." Xu Jingshu looked forward to it, and the arrangements were made.

Xu Yunzhe glanced at the seal doll in his hand, thinking that ghosts must be like seals.

Even so, Xu Yunzhe exchanged one game coin for another seal doll, and Xu Jingshu exchanged the remaining two game coins for two gashapons.

Like those children who are reluctant to go home to do their homework after school, because Xu Jingshu is playing with cats and asking for toys on the road. passed.

Compared with the school library, the self-study environment here is not "similar".In the clean morning of the dining bar, there are only a few guests chatting softly. The scent of coffee and soft record music sublimates the whole atmosphere, and the dragon fruit mousse cake and cappuccino made by Xu Yanshen make the situation even more uncomfortable. It is in line with Xu Yunzhe's imagined reality, and it is more like a scene dedicated to leisure and love in Japanese and Korean idol dramas.

Xu Yunzhe hardly had the time to immerse himself in it. He occasionally felt such an atmosphere, and instead of feeling comfortable, he felt a little impatient in his heart.

The approach of the second stage of the big exam indicates that the college entrance examination is one step closer to them. The loose footsteps on the road gradually stimulated Xu Yunzhe, who is used to running with all his strength.

He didn't know what "happy learning" is since he was a child. "Learning" is a neutral word for him, and there is no pleasure or suffering.But if possible, Xu Yunzhe prefers that this matter is close to a kind of practice, rather than benefiting from having fun.

Xu Jingshu may have a completely different point of view from him, so even though they were sitting together at a clean dining table with books spread out on the table, Xu Yunzhe could still feel that he was absent-minded—or in other words, far less focused than Xu Yunzhe.

He is obsessed with sharing a piece of mousse cake with Xu Yunzhe, and also takes pleasure in playing with the milk foam floating on top of the coffee.

Xu Yunzhe heard him humming a song during self-study, and the end of his pen seemed to be drawn by a thin line, and it became a bit difficult to even write.

Near noon, Xu Yanshen asked them what they wanted to eat.

Xu Yunzhe just wanted to catch up with the progress that was left in the morning, so he politely said that he was free.

Xu Jingshu rushed to the bar to discuss lunch with his father.

Looking at Xu Jingshu's unfinished test paper, Xu Yunzhe sank, lowered his head and continued to check the calculations.

It's fine if he's not here for now.Xu Yunzhe was able to breathe a sigh of relief and focus on his practice questions.

However, after a while, something like a ball of paper fell on the top of Xu Yunzhe's head. With a bang, he raised his eyebrows and saw a paper cup with cotton thread on the bottom fell on the table, bursts of laughter came from behind Voice.

Xu Yunzhe looked back and saw Xu Jingshu playing with three children who were doing handwork at the next table at some point.

Holding an identical paper cup in Xu Jingshu's hand, he waved it excitedly at him, then shook the mouth of the cup to his ears, as a motion to signal him to pick up the paper cup phone and listen.

Looking at the smiling faces of the four of them, Xu Yunzhe endured it for a while, and picked up the paper cup phone to his ear.

Xu Jingshu held the other end of the "telephone" and said inwardly, "Xu Yunzhe, I like you—"

The soft voice reached Xu Yunzhe's ears through the vibration of the cotton thread. He should have been happy, but thinking of the physics problem he had written halfway through, he gave Xu Jingshu a faint smile and put down the "phone".

Looking at Xu Yunzhe's back, Xu Jingshu was stunned.

"Brother Jingshu, what's the matter?" The little girl beside him tugged at his clothes.

The little boy asked timidly: "Can you take back the 'telephone'?"

Embarrassed, Xu Jingshu hurriedly apologized and said, "I'm sorry, can I give this number to my brother?" Just now I called from the "phone" borrowed from them.

The three children looked at me and I looked at you, all hesitant.

Xu Jingshu thought to himself that he still bought the paper cup from the store, why are kids so stingy nowadays?But he smiled and said: "Please, I will make two to compensate you later."

In the end, another girl raised her head and held her chest out, and agreed generously.

Xu Jingshu clasped his palms together in a gesture of gratitude.

He picked up the paper cup phone that Xu Yunzhe had "hanged up", stretched the "telephone cord" and shook it again and again.

The other end of the cotton thread fell to the ground due to pulling, and got stuck on the sofa again. As the cotton thread was pulled, it made a rattling sound.

Seeing Xu Yunzhe looking down at the paper cup from a distance, Xu Jingshu immediately squatted under the dining table and asked softly to the "microphone": "What's wrong? Are you angry? Why are you angry?" After speaking, he immediately brought the "microphone" to his ear beside.

However, he waited for a while, but did not hear any sound from the "microphone".Xu Jingshu was extremely puzzled, and asked into the "microphone", "Xu Yunzhe?"

It was another long wait until he heard the laughter of the children.He was baffled, and checked his "phone" carefully, only to find that the cotton thread had been cut by some of them at some point!

"Who cut it?!" Xu Jingshu stood up angrily, "Get out of my house and never play with him again!"

Hearing the sound, Xu Yunzhe turned around and looked at him strangely.

Xu Jingshu received his eye signal, and immediately ran over with the disconnected "telephone" and picked up the other end that fell on the ground.

After sitting down beside Xu Yunzhe, Xu Jingshu looked at him eagerly, but Xu Yunzhe was unmoved and continued to turn his head to write.

Xu Jingshu had no choice but to find the disconnected ends of the "telephone line" and tie a dead knot to reconnect it.

At this moment, Xu Yanshen brought their lunch over.

Seeing Xu Yunzhe, he quickly got up and tidied up the books and stationery on the table.

"Don't make such a mess," Xu Yanshen put the pasta with green sauce and the pasta with white sauce in front of Xu Yunzhe and his son respectively, and scolded unceremoniously, "I don't like studying, and I bother others to read."

Xu Yunzhe was slightly startled after hearing this, and subconsciously wanted to say "it's okay", but before the words came out, they were abruptly cut off by a force and stopped between his teeth.He avoided Xu Jingshu's questioning gaze.

"Don't pay attention to him, he's been crazy all day long." Xu Yanshen winked at Xu Yunzhe, and explained, "Your pasta is made with basil and olive oil, without butter and cream, so don't worry."

He never told Xu Yanshen that he could not eat dairy products, he was surprised and nodded in embarrassment.Suddenly, he saw Xu Yanshen raised the tray in his hand and waved it towards Xu Jingshu's head, pulling Xu Jingshu back in a hurry.

Xu Jingshu knew that his father wouldn't really hit him, so he stood still, but Xu Yunzhe yanked him back, and he fell down on the sofa in a blink of an eye.

Seeing Xu Yanshen's stunned expression, Xu Yunzhe immediately realized that it was just a joke, and was so embarrassed that he couldn't move.

Xu Yanshen looked at him in surprise, for a long while, the full flesh on his face couldn't hide a gratified smile, he burst out laughing.

Xu Yunzhe was so embarrassed that he couldn't bear it, so he could only raise the corners of his mouth embarrassingly.

"You two eat slowly. — Brat, study hard with Yunzhe!" After speaking, he turned and left with a smile.

Watching his uncle leave, Xu Yunzhe heaved a sigh of relief, lowered his head to meet Xu Jingshu's clean and transparent eyes, and immediately blushed again.

Xu Jingshu blinked, and sat down opposite Xu Yunzhe.

Xu Yunzhe took his seat, intending to pretend nothing happened, picked up the fork and spoon, and lowered his head to eat the noodles.Not long after, he saw a hand carefully pushing a paper cup upside down on the table to his face, with a piece of cotton thread on the bottom of the paper cup.

Isn't it already cut off?Xu Yunzhe looked up strangely, and saw Xu Jingshu who was opposite had already held the paper cup to his mouth.

The cotton thread was re-tied by him at some point.Xu Yunzhe picked up the "phone" to listen.

"Sorry, I will study obediently in the future."

Probably because of solid transmission, Xu Jingshu's voice sounded very real in the paper cup, it was really like this cotton thread, solid, visible, and tangible.Xu Yunzhe couldn't remember how many times he had made promises to himself. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.

In particular, seeing him point the "microphone" at his ear immediately after he finished speaking, as if expecting an answer, Xu Yunzhe couldn't help but shook his head with a smile.

"Okay, I see, let's eat." After Xu Yunzhe finished speaking, he "hanged up" the phone.
