corner flower shop

When he got outside, Pei Yiqing realized that the snow had stopped for several days, and the roadside was full of children's cannonballs left over from playing during the Spring Festival.Pei Yang also liked to play with these before, but his parents thought it was noisy, so he never bought them for them.

He put the key in his pocket and said, "May I buy you some cannons for fun?"

And Pei Yang didn't know what he was thinking, and he was silent and didn't speak. He didn't react until Pei Yiqing asked again, shook his head and said, "My parents don't like me playing these things."

Pei Yiqing obviously felt a little uncomfortable after hearing this. Although he was disgusted by Pei Yang's flamboyant character before, and was scolded by his parents for poking around everywhere, he really regarded Pei Yang as his own relative. younger brother.

It can be said that in this stuffy family, Pei Yang is the only sustenance he can get his breath.

But he found that Pei Yang was visibly depressed.

Both of them have gradually become what their parents like.

But they are not happy at all.

They went to the riverside that Pei Yang said together. Not long after the Spring Festival, even the trees on the bank were wrapped with a circle of light strips.There were festive appearances everywhere, but there were not many people here during the day, and when the wind blew it seemed to be able to pass through clothes, Pei Yiqing couldn't help shivering.

Although it's called Beach Park, to put it bluntly, it's a small gymnasium by the river. Pei Yiqing saw at a glance that only the basketball court was suitable for the two of them.He didn't think it was very interesting, but because of Pei Yang, he kept following behind.

And Pei Yang walked in front quietly, the bleak leaves made his back look very lonely, he looked at the scenery on the other side of the river while walking, wondering what he was thinking about.

He stopped and asked Pei Yiqing, "Brother, what's the opposite side?"

"On the other side?" Pei Yiqing glanced at the opposite side. In fact, it was not far away, and it looked no different from their side, so he said casually, "It should be a newly developed suburb or something else."

"Can I go over and have a look?" Pei Yang turned to look at him, his eyes full of temptation.

Seeing this, Pei Yiqing hesitated for a while. In the past, he could only take the bus to the bridge or take a boat. No matter which way he took, it would take a lot of time. He was not sure when his parents would come back. He must have found out that the two of them were not at home. It's chicken and egg again.

Pei Yang hadn't made any request to him since junior high school. After careful consideration, Pei Yiqing finally said, "Shall we come again tomorrow?"

He originally thought that Pei Yang would make a fuss when he said that, but the other party didn't respond, and continued to look at the river with a smile.

The breeze blows the broken hair on his forehead, and the surrounding is so quiet that only the sound of the wind blowing can be heard.

Seeing that he didn't speak, Pei Yiqing struggled in his heart. At worst, he would say that he wanted to go out to play when he got back, and a beating would be over.

Just as he was about to speak, Pei Yang suddenly said, "Brother, I want to play cannonball."

Hearing this, Pei Yiqing was stunned. This request was obviously simpler than the previous one. When he just came, he saw a cannonball in the small shop at the door, so he nodded: "Okay, then you wait here for me, and there are more Anything else? Want something to eat?"

"No," Pei Yang looked at him for a long time after saying this, and then said, "I'm not in a hurry, brother, take your time."

For some reason, Pei Yiqing felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't tell why.He nodded, and finally repeated a few more words, even saying not to swim in the river.

When the other party agreed, he turned around and walked to the commissary.

When he walked halfway, he still smiled helplessly. Going to swim in the river this season is really unusual.

Pei Yiqing remembered everything after that very clearly. He went to the canteen to buy firecrackers, and by the way, he also bought some firecrackers that are now popular.When he was leaving, he saw Pei Yang's favorite grilled sausage in the store again, and bought the other's favorite, the kind that was exploded to reveal a small half of the meat.

When he went back, there were many people standing on the shore, and there were some clothes where he and Pei Yang were standing just now. Pei Yiqing thought that someone really wanted to go swimming in winter.

But as he got closer, he found that the pile of clothes on the ground looked more and more familiar.He took things around in a panic, and finally made sure that Pei Yang was gone, and the clothes on the ground belonged to Pei Yang.

"...He," Lu Jie paused, "jumped into the river?"

"Well," Pei Yiqing nodded and took a deep breath, "I was out of breath when I was rescued."

Lu Jie looked at the tombstone silently, on which were written the names of Pei Yiqing's parents, and Pei Yang's name was a big "Aizi".

Aizi Pei Yang.

He has no way to determine whether this is love, because for him, such things as family affection are too far away.But what he can be sure of is that if he is deeply involved in such an environment, he will never be happy.

Pei Yiqing's parents drew a cage with family affection, and those inside could only accept it completely, and couldn't break free.

He looked at Pei Yiqing who was beside him, and the other party was silent for a long time after saying this, he hesitated for a while, then raised his hand and patted Pei Yiqing on the shoulder, "This is not your problem."

"After that, I often dreamed about him jumping into the river," Pei Yiqing said, "Obviously I didn't see anything back then, but the scenes in the dream were very real."

After the words fell, Lu Jie remembered that he saw Pei Yiqing sleeping in the store once before, and the other party frowned tightly, wondering what he had dreamed of, and his face was not very good after he woke him up.

Now that I think about it, I guess I dreamed about Pei Yang.

"It's not your problem," Lu Jie repeated, "Your brother's death was not because of you."

He didn't know what Pei Yiqing was thinking, but he could guess eight out of ten.Those requests that Pei Yang made before his death and those seemingly unusual performances seemed to be a silent alarm, but Pei Yiqing didn't notice it.

Pei Yiqing thought that it was because she didn't discover it that she became what she is now.

Just like what he guessed, Pei Yiqing really thought so.After knowing Pei Yang's death, his parents went crazy for a while, cursing him endlessly every day, so Pei Yiqing would blame himself, thinking that it had something to do with him.

So much so that by the time someone finally told him that it wasn't his fault, he was preconceived.

He took a deep breath and said, "I know."

Lu Jie bent down and adjusted the position of the pot of coriander.At this time, he realized how pale the language was. He obviously wanted to say a lot, but he still didn't say anything in the end.

This kind of thing needs to be fully digested by the parties themselves, and the external forces are almost minimal.

But even if it was weak, Lu Jie didn't mind giving it a try.

So he turned around and raised his arms to give Pei Yiqing a hug.

When the two hugged each other, Pei Yiqing froze for a while.His hands on both sides moved helplessly, he hesitated for a long time between stretching out and keeping still, and finally hugged Lu Jie back.

Lu Jie hugged her and looked a lot thinner, her waist could only be wrapped around Pei Yiqing's arms.

He closed his eyes and took a long breath, then let it out slowly.

The pressure that had been pent up in my heart for a long time seemed to be relieved a lot.

It was the first time for the two old men to embrace in front of the cemetery, and many people around looked over curiously.Pei Yiqing coughed lightly, and finally tightened the strength in her hands and then let go, saying, "Let's go."

"Well," Lu Jie nodded, and followed the other party back the same way, "Do you come every year?"

Pei Yiqing responded, he doesn't like to come with his parents, and it's the same this time, it's just a temporary idea to bring Pei Yang a pot of coriander.

If possible, Pei Yang should be able to see the coriander bloom.

And Lu Jie came to his senses, and asked inadvertently, "So, you brought me here on a whim?"

As soon as the words fell, both of them were silent for a while.Pei Yiqing looked at Lu Jie in astonishment, apparently he hadn't thought of a reason to answer.

So he didn't speak for a long time.

Seeing this, everyone paused, wondering if this question was too indicative, maybe Pei Yiqing really just wanted to confide.

He was just about to speak when he heard the person next to him say, "No."

"Huh?" He didn't respond.

Pei Yiqing looked at Lu Jie. To be honest, he didn't know what the situation was, and he basically relied on instinct when speaking.

He never thought that he would be like a child at 26.

But the feeling of not caring about anything is not bad.

"I brought you here on purpose." Pei Yiqing explained what he just said.

Lu Jie stared at him blankly, then nodded: "...that's it."

"I want to tell you these things," Pei Yiqing said, "I want you to know."

Even Pei Yiqing himself didn't know how serious he looked when he said this.This is the first time he has said these unhappy things, and with the parents behind him, he feels that his life is really a mess.

He glanced at Lu Jie and said, "If you don't like it, I won't talk about it in the future."

After all, it is selfish to confide all your troubles to one person.

But Lu Jie shook his head, looked at him and said seriously: "No."

He hesitated for a while, then grabbed Pei Yiqing's hand, "I'm very happy."

The author has something to say: continue tomorrow, happy new year!
