Jiangzhu's Summer

The sky gradually darkened, white mist floated up, and the pedestrians on the road were vague and unclear.The rain fell on the umbrella surface, making a rustling sound.The rain seems to separate the people under the umbrella from the world, creating a world of its own.

Zhu Jingci was so dazed thinking about the people around him that he accidentally slipped under his feet, and was helped by his arm to avoid the embarrassment of falling dirty.

Jiang Chenyu was very restrained and polite when helping him, holding his arm through his sleeve, and let go of him when he stood still.Turning his head slightly, he reminded, "Be careful." The line of his jaw was smooth and sharp, and the rain reflected in his eyes, and there was a slight flash of light.

"Oh." Zhu Jingci stood obediently, and after a while, he stretched out his hand and gently touched the arm supported by Jiang Chenyu, feeling that the skin on that piece of skin was getting hot.

This person is the most typical kind of good boy, Zhu Jingci thought lazily, wearing a T-shirt that looks soft and comfortable, lending a helping hand to everyone he meets, with a naturally curved mouth and long eyelashes, like A harmless piece of orange-flavoured fudge.

For no reason, he felt his teeth itching, and body fluid was secreted from his mouth.

"Is it here?" Jiang Chenyu hadn't been to Mao'er Alley a few times, and in addition to the gloomy sky, he stood at the entrance of the dark alley a little hesitantly, and asked with his arm lightly on the people around him.

"Is... right?" Zhu Jingci didn't move here for a long time. There are many and similar alleys here, so he couldn't be sure for a while.

"Is this an interrogative sentence or an affirmative sentence?"

"Affirmative sentence... right?" Zhu Jingci replied not confidently.

Jiang Chenyu couldn't hold it back, and let out a low laugh, "That's what you say."

That laugh seemed to brush past his ears, Zhu Jingci only felt his face heat up with a "boom".He bit his lower lip, a little annoyed that he was always at a loss in front of this person.

"I recognize it." He hurried forward, as if wanting to prove himself, with powder in his ears.

Jiang Chenyu didn't laugh at him anymore, and walked two quick steps, and passed the umbrella forward, covering him more tightly under the umbrella.

The two of them walked into the alley, the twilight was thick, and there was no sound in the alley, only two street lamps stood there shrinking, the lights reflected the dense rain, like the scales on the wings of a butterfly Shiny like powder.

"Here, we're here." Zhu Jing turned his head and greeted Jiang Chenyu with a little smug brow, "It's here."

The orange light and shadow were cast down, cut by the rain lines, and fell in pieces on the faces of the two of them.Zhu Jingci tilted his head to look at him, under the light, his smiling face seemed to flow out like a liquid.

Like a cat that steals fish to eat, Jiang Chenyu thought.

The signboard at the entrance of the store is made of wood, black in color, and two red lanterns are placed side by side on the tall door face, reflecting a red color in the open space in front of the store.When the wind picked up, the lantern swayed, and the red light trembled.

An old man with a white beard sat in front of the store, dozing off on a wooden recliner under the porch.His eyelids were half closed, he didn't bother to speak when he saw a visitor, he raised his chin as a greeting.

Jiang Chenyu stared at the man. The old man was expressionless and moved slowly. Like any ordinary old man, he showed no signs of becoming mature.He secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and got rid of the messy allusions in his mind that seduce people's souls.

Zhu Jingci has eaten here twice, and he is not surprised by the hospitality of the shop owner.He walked into the store with familiar people, and explained to them while walking in, "Grandpa, two bowls of beef noodles." The boss didn't respond, stood up lazily, and turned to go to the back kitchen.

Probably because of the rain, the store was extremely deserted, and they became the first wave of customers.Zhu Jingci chose a table in the corner, the table was black with oil stains accumulated over the years.Jiang Chenyu paused, noticing the cautious gaze of the person opposite, and sat down pretending to be nonchalant.

Zhu Jingci took the teapot from the counter next to him, took the cups in front of the two of them, poured hot water into them and rinsed them carefully, then took the chopsticks and rinsed them in the same way, and poured the remaining hot water in the cups outside the door .

"Let's get to know each other." Zhu Jingci sat down very upright, with a hint of cunning in his eyes, "My name is Zhu Jingci, the mirror of the mirror, the speech of words."

"The most important thing is that the world can't keep it. Zhu Yan's words are in the mirror, flowers are in the tree." Jiang Chenyu subconsciously read it, and regretted it a little after he said it. The meaning of this poem is really not very good. It always seems impolite to say it rashly.

"Is that so?" Zhu Jingci was thoughtful, the corners of his mouth twitched, and a smile appeared, "It doesn't sound like a good intention."

That's right, how can a person who is not even expected to be born expect someone to put a good wish in his name?

"Actually, I thought about it again, and I don't think this theory makes sense." Zhu Jingci noticed that Jiang Chenyu frowned slightly, and his fingers began to unconsciously caress the small mole on the inside of the joint, "If it's this allusion, then it should be It should be Zhu Cijing."

"So," Jiang Chenyu stretched his eyebrows and lowered his voice, as if exchanging a secret with him, "Jingci should mean 'what the mirror says'."

"Mirror, what did you say?" Zhu Jingci looked up at him in a daze.

"Have you seen "Snow White"?"

"No." Zhu Jingci touched the tip of his nose awkwardly, feeling a little silly.

"In this story, there is a magic mirror, which knows everything about the whole world and can only tell the truth. So, there is a queen who looks at the mirror every day and asks, magic mirror, magic mirror, who is in this world?" The prettiest person in the world?"

"The magic mirror answered honestly, it is your daughter, Snow White."

"So you see, the mirror can't lie," Jiang Chenyu said to him softly, with the corners of his mouth curled up, in a coaxing tone, "The implication of your name must be that I hope you will become an honest and good boy."

"Is that so?" Zhu Jingci asked, feeling redundant at the same time. Is there something important?Whatever the original connotation of the name, it was enough that someone had thought of such a good meaning for it, and had worked so hard to not make him sad.

"Of course, it must be so." The eyelashes of the person opposite him were half-drooped, and he sat there obediently. Jiang Chenyu unconsciously lowered his voice, as if he was afraid of waking up a cat napping in the sun.

"Then I know, thank you for telling me." Zhu Jingci raised his eyes, eyebrows and eyes curved, this time it was a real smile.

"What's your name?" At the beginning, I reported my name just to inquire about the other party, but I almost forgot after going around.

Jiang Chenyu rarely showed some hesitation on his face, and Zhu Jingci's heart sank suddenly.

"Yes...is it convenient to say? It's okay." He opened his mouth cautiously, but the loss in his eyes couldn't be hidden under the light.

"No, don't get me wrong," Jiang Chenyu quickly explained, nodded on the table in distress, and said, "Let me write it for you."

As he spoke, he turned the chopsticks, dipped them in the water that Zhu Jingci had spilled when rinsing the cup just now, and wrote them on the table stroke by stroke.

Zhu Jingci leaned over to see that when he was writing, his expression became serious, his lips were pursed, his wrists were hanging, neat and meticulous, he didn't care whether he was writing on snow-white rice paper or the greasy tabletop of a restaurant.

Although the tools are simple, the three words on the table can still see the outstanding character.Seeing it, Zhu Jingci understood the reason why this person refused to speak directly.

"Jiang Chenyu, a very nice name," he said softly with a smile, winking at the other party, "It's also pretty, it's like sinking fish and wild goose!"

"..." Jiang Chenyu supported Fu's forehead, "Just know it, and you don't need to point it out."

"Well, okay," Zhu Jingci should be proficient, and poked Jiang Chenyu's arm as if remembering something, with the intention of doing bad things clearly hanging on his face, "You just told the story, do you want to come now? Ask the magic mirror?"

Jiang Chenyu guessed what he was going to do, but still couldn't refuse his cat-like eyes, and asked kindly, "Magic mirror, magic mirror, who is the most beautiful person in this world?"

"Of course it's you, my dear Highness." Zhu Jingci had a bright smile on his face, almost glowing under the warm yellow light.

The beef noodles are served in a timely manner, served in a blue and white tall porcelain bowl, the milky white soup, the beef is cut into large pieces, the portion is very generous, red oil is poured on the noodles, and green onion and coriander are sprinkled.Jiang Chenyu watched, belatedly feeling hungry.

Putting a chopstick into my mouth, the noodles are cooked very chewy, the soup is rich in umami, and the beef is also stewed very tasty.The hot air seems to seep into every pore, warm.Eating meat management three two Ling Yi Qi Ling; Qi Yi Temple six

Zhu Jingci pushed a small bowl on the table towards him, "The chili fried by the boss himself with butter is very fragrant, add some." Seeing that he was still hesitant, he coaxed him, "It's not spicy at all. Yes, try it."

He spoke in such a tone.It looks like syrup poured on the apples, sticky and silky, golden in color, tempting people to always want to taste it.

Jiang Chenyu tentatively added half a teaspoon of chili pepper, and frowned after taking a bite. He looked at Zhu Jingci with tearful condemnation in his eyes.

Zhu Jingci laughed too much at the side, and hurriedly poured a cup of tea from the teapot, and pushed it in front of the person flatteringly.The water in the cup was red, and Jiang Chenyu looked it inquiringly.

"It's red bean barley water." Zhu Jingci explained, "Red bean barley is dry-fried in a pot, just scoop a spoonful of water when you drink it."

Jiang Chenyu picked up the cup and took a sip. It had a strange aroma and was unexpectedly delicious, so he couldn't help but take another sip.

"For the sake of this, don't be angry with me, okay?" Zhu Jingci lay on the table, pretending to cry, Jiang Chenyu felt that he looked a bit like a tearful cat's head emoticon, every time Xu Mumu wanted to ask him Help, love to send him this.

"I'm sorry, your lord has a lot, please forgive me this time, please, Xiao Yu'er!" Seeing that he didn't answer, Zhu Jingci said again.The final erhua sound is very long, and the ending sound is sweet and greasy, which makes people's heart itch.

Jiang Chenyu was a little at a loss, he had never heard any boy speak like this, like a coquettish tone. "Then next time no, don't do that again." Jiang Chenyu stammered, and added at the end, "Don't call me that either."

Zhu Jingci rested his elbows on the table, propped his chin with one hand, slightly raised the corners of his mouth, and smiled cunningly, revealing a few white teeth, "What do I call you, little fish?"

The rain gradually became smaller and pattered.The white-bearded shopkeeper sat back on the porch and started smoking. He smoked a very old brass pipe with a slender and shiny pipe. The shredded tobacco was tightly packed into a pot. After lighting it, in the dark night It is a small orange dot, which flickers on and off with the breathing of the old man.

This is really a good night, Zhu Jingci looked at the bright Yusi and thought, it is suitable for acquaintance and reunion.
