to imply

crazy.

This is Fang Zhi's only thought now.

Excessive running caused his chest to feel tight, and the slight suffocation caused by the lack of oxygen made him feel heavy in his body, but his spirit was so excited that he couldn't take care of all of this at all. All he could see was the back of Xu Xie in front of him, and his whole body and mind were full of pain. They were clamoring to catch up with him and overtake him.

Xu did not follow the rules and said it was a competition, so he acted aboveboard.After finishing talking about the game, he rushed out and passed Fang Zhi with a gust of wind, without giving him any time to react.

And Fang Zhi himself was not awake, he was stunned for less than half a second, before turning his head around, his body had already caught up.

Fang Zhi here thinks this is a dream, and the others feel even more dreamy.

After walking and crawling for almost two hours, everyone's physical strength was almost exhausted. Looking at the past at this moment, they basically stopped in place to rest.

"Oh, shit, I'm exhausted, this - shit!"

Along the way, Jiang An encouraged cheering and took care of the students who were not physically fit, and he was sweating from exhaustion.He slumped on the steps, unscrewed a bottle of water and was about to put it in his mouth, when a gray figure quickly brushed past him.

A black figure following behind swept past with the same rapid speed.

"Fuck! What's going on???"

"Who is this???"

"Still have the strength to run like this???"

As if even the air was still for a second, the uproar began to spread at the same speed, and the voices of exclamation and inquiries were endless, and all the people who were swept by the wind turned their heads and looked back at the two Dao figure.

"Damn it! Is it so hot-blooded???"

Jiang An felt that his brain had been melted by today's sun, and he didn't know what to say when he blurted out, and his thoughts were sticky and he couldn't understand. When he realized it, he was already more than ten meters away from the place where he just paralyzed Far.

"Fuck, fuck! Why is there another one???"

"Why run? Why do my feet move involuntarily?!"

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! Just ignore him!"

"Young people! Run!"

……

Along the way, there were similar shouts one after another, accompanied by tall and straight teenagers rushing to the top of the mountain.

Young people's impulses are always baseless. In short, they want to run, make trouble, and jump for no reason, so that the blood in the body boils and the wildness in the bones is unsealed.

They were surrounded by scorching heat, so hot that even the wind had to make way for them.

"call--"

Xu Xie took a deep breath and did not dare to let go, until he reached the viewing platform on the top of the mountain before he collapsed on the fence and panted heavily.

He gazed at the northern scenery in front of him and counted for a few seconds. When he counted to six, Fang Zhi staggered over and punched himself a fist away from him.

Xu Xie handed him a pack of papers and teased him with a smile: "So weak, I didn't catch up with me all the way."

Fang Zhi took the paper and wiped his sweaty hair, and rolled his eyes back: "Those who violate the rules are not qualified to taunt."

"Wrong, wrong." Xu Xie finished apologizing without distraction, not daring to linger on this topic for too long, "How is it? Is it cool?"

"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

The answer came from behind the two.

The two looked at each other, read doubt and confusion from each other's eyes, and then turned their heads simultaneously——

Jiang An stood beside the old man's stone sculpture, stretching his arms toward the sky, his sweaty face gleaming in the sun.

Immediately afterwards, one person, two people came up...a ​​total of more than 40 people came up intermittently, each of them would shout "cool" proudly after climbing up, and then spontaneously walked to various corners of the viewing platform, taking the same posture as the river bank stand still.

For a time, the scene seemed to be holding some kind of weird sacrificial activity.

"What are they doing?"

Fang Zhi was not surprised by this kind of confusing behavior. He took out his mobile phone and took a photo with a blank expression before explaining Xu Xie's confusion: "Embrace freedom."

In this mysterious place, the students of No. [-] Middle School always have a kind of magical tacit understanding.The second after Fang Zhi finished taking the photo and put down his phone, a group of people sighed and collapsed on the ground, then looked at each other and laughed together.

"Hey, what are you laughing at... Hahahaha... My stomach hurts to death..."

"Hey, hahahaha... Hey, fuck me, what's going on..."

"Hahahahaha... Which dog ran away first... Hey, stop laughing..."

……

The dog Xu Xie was ignorant of being scolded, and laughed happily along with the crowd.

Fang Zhi looked helpless and funny, but in the end he couldn't hold back and laughed too.

The direct result of laughing without a buffer after strenuous exercise is that a group of people all slumped on the ground, drying the pancakes, holding their stomachs and yelling, and all the hot-blooded teenagers became disabled.

As for the culprits, Xu Xie and his accomplice Fang Zhi are at most half disabled, at least they can still stand.

The wind was strong on the top of the mountain, Fang Zhi stood against the wind, and the little sweat he sweated was basically dried up.The body is dry and the heart is relaxed, and the boredom caused by self-denial seems to be evaporated and dissipated along with the sweat.

The mountain-climbing competitions that we did not play for a few days miraculously brought back his good mood.

"Actually, the future is a very broad term."

Xu Xie's voice suddenly sounded, soft and soft, it reached Fang Zhi's ears along with the wind.

He tilted his head and saw Xu Xie lazily resting his arms on the railing, his body slightly arched, and his eyes staring into the distance without blinking.

I don't know if it was the psychological effect of Lin Yufeng's words last night, or because he had never looked at Xu Xie carefully before. Fang Zhi didn't notice until now that Xu Xie's eyebrows looked very sharp.

The eyebrows are prominent, the eyelid folds are shallow, and the eyes are narrow and long.Like now, when there is no emotion in his eyes, he looks fierce and cold.

Nothing to do with the tenderness he'd been feeling.

Xu Xie didn't notice the young boy's observing gaze, and continued to speak in that gentle tone: "Tomorrow is also the future, and the day after tomorrow is also the future. Every day and every moment after today is the future."

Fang Zhi realized that Xu Xie probably saw that he was confused about the future, so he pricked up his ears to listen carefully to what he would say.

"Everyone thinks about what they want to do in the future. Some people are confused, and some people are determined. But the future is too long and too big, and it contains too many unknowns. Almost every second there is something that I can't predict. , something unexpected."

Xu Xie blinked to conceal the passing loneliness and sadness.

But Fang Zhi watched him carefully, and didn't miss this second.

The unexpected, the unexpected...

Fang Zhi's heart skipped a beat, and the sudden exchange of emotions made him almost immediately affirm that Xu Xie's expression like this was because he thought of his dead father.

He heard Xu Xie take a deep breath, and at the same time his Adam's apple rolled, as if swallowing back the heaviest emotion.

"...No..." His voice was hoarse again, and Xu Xie coughed before choking back the slight choking that was welling up in his throat, "No one can predict everything, and no one knows that the step he takes is in line with what he planned. Whether it is the same, at least at that moment, everyone is confused."

"Confusion is the norm, and everyone is in the confusion to strengthen themselves and the future little by little."

Xu Xie suddenly tilted her head and smiled at him, her sharp brows and eyes were melted by the smile, and coated with a soft golden edge by the sunlight.

He turned back into that young man who was talking and laughing at Yanyan.

A short distance away, the sky was shining through the clouds, he pointed at the light, and Fang Zhi smiled and said, "Fang Zhi, look, the light in front is so bright."

The raging wind on the top of the mountain didn't know when it stopped, and the chattering crowd behind them didn't know when they were driven by who, surrounded the old man's stone carving, closed their eyes and put their hands together, making a wish to the old man's stone carving.

The wind met the mountain, and in the silence, Fang Zhi felt his heart suddenly drop, as if some kind of special dust had settled.

"Boom-"

"Hold!"

In the evening, Fang Zhi fell into deep self-doubt once again facing the math test paper that had been spread out for two hours without writing a single question.

Messy thoughts were intertwined and complicated, which obviously made his head dizzy, and he couldn't even write the most handy mathematics, but if he wanted to catch them, he couldn't catch his head lightly.

A knock on the door sounded at this moment.

Fang Zhi opened the door and saw Aunt Zhao standing at the door holding a cleaning tool.

Fang Zhi and Fang Haiwen are two men, and their lives are inevitably rough.There was a time when the house was so messed up that there wasn't even a place to step down, and there were piles of dirty laundry and takeaway boxes everywhere.

Later, it was Fang Zhi who was really going through this kind of life, so he was ashamed to suggest to Fang Haiwen, who was only wearing a pair of underwear and playing games in a mess, to find a housekeeper.

Aunt Zhao was the housekeeper he was looking for.

This woman with five years of service was kind and meticulous, and was easily accepted by the two men.

The moment Aunt Zhao saw Fang Zhi, she showed a kind and doting smile: "Are you studying? Are you tired? There are small pumpkin balls brewed with wine in the pot. Go eat a bowl and rest for a while. After cleaning, I will ask you to come back and continue studying, okay? The holiday starts tomorrow, and I will help you clean up today."

If there was anything about the kind woman that Fang Zhi couldn't stand, it was probably her coaxing tone of voice when she spoke to him.

Fang Zhi was ashamed by her tone, answered with a muffled voice, and fled to the kitchen.

There are round golden balls floating in the small pot in the kitchen. As soon as the lid is lifted, the sweetness of fermented rice mixed with the fragrance of pumpkin comes out. Just by smelling it, you can tell that this pot is warm and delicious.

Fang Zhi filled a small bowl and brought it to the dining table. As soon as he picked up the spoon, he felt a ball of fluff rubbing against his feet.

As soon as he lowered his head, as expected, he saw the white ball of milk rubbing his ankle up and down with his head.

The milk ball was the one that Chen Mushu found was pressed under the box at first.

The little guy was strong and got off the operating table with a sigh of relief. Except for a slight limp in his rear left leg, everything else was healthy.

The name Milk Ball was given by Xu Xie Shunzui.At that time, the two had just got the cat, and Xu Xie held the little milk cat that was so frightened that it was meowing for a while, and then smiled and said, "It's small and white, why is it like a little milk ball?"

So the name of the little milk cat was decided hastily.

Fang Zhi scooped up the milk balls on his knees and squeezed two handfuls.

The little milk cat is so clingy to people that it won't let it go when it rubs against your hand, it meows like a baby.

Fang Zhi was so teased by it that his heart softened, he stroked the cat with one hand, and picked up the spoon in the bowl with the other.

At this moment, the mobile phone at hand rang a WeChat message notification tone.

Opening it, it was a message from Xu Xie.

[Brother Xu]: What are you doing?

Below this message is a "panda probe" emoticon package.

Fang Zhi bit the spoon and laughed for some unknown reason. First, he habitually saved the emoji, and then took a photo of milk balls and meatballs and sent it to him.

[FZ.]: Lu Mao, brewed pumpkin balls.

[Big Brother Xu]: An Yi.

[Brother Xu]: Is the milk ball a little fatter than the last time I saw it?

[FZ.]: Well, eat a lot.

[Big brother Xu]: The panda laughs.jpg

[Brother Xu]: How much did you eat?The small milk balls have grown into medium milk balls.

The medium-sized milk ball didn't know that someone was laughing at it, and after being rubbed by Fang Zhi, it twisted its buttocks and went to eat.

Fang Zhi grinned and showed Xu Xie this appearance, and it was no surprise that he got complaints from the other party.

[Big brother Xu]: Too much like a pig.

Fang Zhi couldn't help but laughed out loud.

"Why are you laughing so happy?" Aunt Zhao happened to be passing by with a quilt in her arms, and asked casually.

Fang Zhi coughed dryly, and suppressed the upturned smile: "It's nothing."

Lowering her head again, two messages were sent from Xu Xie.

[Big brother Xu]: [picture]

[Big Brother Xu]: We're shoveling, come on?

The picture is a string of enlarged beef skewers.Someone photographed it meticulously, and the cumin and white sesame seeds on the top were clearly photographed.

... The small balls in hand suddenly lost their fragrance.

Having met this group of people at dinner before, Fang Xiaozhen, who was successfully seduced, did not feel too much psychological pressure, and sent a message with a flick of his finger.

[FZ.]: Position.

Xu Xie stood at the entrance of the night market, clicking through the apps on his mobile phone one by one, looking up from time to time to look around.

It has been 10 minutes since he sent Fang Zhi the location.

There are so many people at this spot, Xu Xie was afraid that Fang Zhi would not find a place to come, so he went to the street corner to wait.

He didn't know how many times he raised his head, a car whizzed by in front of him, its headlights illuminated the opposite side of the street, and in a flash, Xu Xie saw a familiar figure.

Across the street is a row of abandoned convenience stores, and for some unknown reason, no one came to take care of them.At this moment, except for a little blurry light from the night market, the whole street is in darkness.

Fang Zhi was standing on the edge of the place that was about to be lit, with the boundless darkness behind him.The intertwining of light and shadow made his silhouette look hazy and gray.

It was another car, the headlights flickered, and the silhouette slowly and clearly outlined the boy's appearance.

He lowered his eyes and looked a little careless, but with the corners of his mouth curled down in a relaxed state, he looked a little... pitiful.

Across the road, there are crowds of people and all kinds of noise; there are empty alleys and no one, and everything is silent.

Xu Xie's heart skipped a beat, and an uncontrollable heartache surged up.

He shouldn't be there alone, he should stand with me, in the brightly lit and noisy crowd.

I'm going to pull him over.
