Jiangzhu's Summer

Five years later.

"Jiang Chenyu! Will you die if you wait for me!" Xu Mumu rushed out of the classroom panting, the person in front kept walking, he chased after him, put his arm on the person's shoulder, and gasped.

Jiang Chenyu unceremoniously pinched his sleeve and shook him off, and walked a few steps quickly without looking back, "You deserve it! Let's see if you dare to give my WeChat to others next time."

"And don't touch me with your unwashed paws."

"Damn! Is that called messing around!" Xu Mumu was indignant, "That's Chen Kexin! We're classy girl! You don't even know how excited I was when she took the initiative to chat with me today! It turned out that the side-talking for a long time was actually for you. WeChat!"

He recalled the scene at that time, and felt more and more disgusting about the face of this guy in front of him, "You don't even like Banhua, are you going to live like a monk? And you can't be touched by others, in the future Are you looking for someone Plato?"

"..." Jiang Chenyu couldn't break him, so he gave him a sideways look, and walked straight forward.

Both of them had graduated from university at this time and were studying in S University.Originally, Xu Mumu went to city B for the exam, but when he learned of the admission result, he almost cried with joy.As Jiang Chenyu's classmate since he was a child, Xu Mumu was often scolded and beaten with this child from another family as a foil.Now that he is out of trouble, he can finally no longer live in the shadow of Jiang Chenyu, and he is almost going to fly.

Of course, the price was that he failed four courses in his freshman year, and was almost scolded by Xu's mother.Under the pressure of his parents and adults, he studied in class honestly, and humiliatedly passed the postgraduate entrance examination of S University, and became classmates with Jiang Chenyu again.

"Hey, slow down, Brother Jiang! Brother, I was wrong, you go slowly, I'll wait for you." Xu Mumu hurriedly followed Jiang Chenyu down the stairs, thinking about it, and suddenly left Jiang Chenyu who was in front stopped suddenly, and he was caught off guard and directly bumped into Jiang Chenyu's back.

"Why... What the fuck?" Xu Mumu held his sore nose, thinking for a moment that he had smashed his brain.

Otherwise, why would he see Zhu Jingci standing in front of him?

He rubbed his eyes, rubbed his eyes again, and finally had to admit that the person standing here was really a missing person who had not seen him for many years.

This person was just in front of the teaching building, leaning against the car door, wearing the most common white hooded sweater and light blue jeans. He still looked like a student. He smiled and greeted them: "Long time no see."

The expression is so natural that it seems that he just took a short trip, and now he hurried back to visit his little lover.

Those times of tossing and tossing, parting and wandering, nearly two thousand days and nights, seemed to have never happened, and they were about to disappear under the sun.

Jiang Chenyu looked at him coldly, seeing his calm expression and his indifference.Seeing him all the time under my own gaze, the smile could no longer hang on his face.

The two of them just looked at each other silently, at such a close distance, but there seemed to be an invisible mountain and sea between their feet, with a heavy burden on their backs, neither of them could take a step forward.

At the end, Jiang Chenyu stretched out his hand to grab Xu Mumu beside him, and said softly, "Let's go."

He didn't speak to Zhu Jingci, just walked past him.

Zhu Jingci looked at his back as he walked away, gradually blurring and shrinking until he could no longer see it.From beginning to end, there was no turning back.

"Well," he stood there for a while, stretched out his hand to touch his nose, and smiled self-deprecatingly, "It's over, this time it will be harder to chase than last time."

Xu Mumu walked for a while, and finally couldn't help but say: "Just now that was..."

"I didn't see it." Jiang Chenyu interrupted him expressionlessly, "No matter who it is, I didn't see it." His jaw was slightly drawn, his jaw line was tight, his tone was indifferent, but his steps gradually slowed down.

The inexplicable strength to push him away has been exhausted, exhaustion surges up like a tide, and even walking becomes difficult.

Sensing his emotions, Xu Mumu hurriedly fell silent, and the two continued to walk forward in silence.

They parted ways at the school gate, and Xu Mumu still lived in the dormitory on campus. Jiang Chenyu felt that the dormitory was too noisy and the sanitary conditions were worrying, so he rented a house off campus alone.

The rented place is in a residential area off campus.There is no elevator, the corridors are crowded and narrow, and the light is dim.

He stepped up the stairs step by step, and the dim light reflected his shadow, which lengthened and shortened.Footsteps echoed dully in the narrow space.

He lived on the fourth floor, and when he reached the corner of the stairs, he stopped abruptly.

There was a faint smell of smoke in the stairwell, and a long and narrow shadow was drawn by the light, hanging down the steps, almost reaching his feet.

He lowered his eyes, leaned back very slowly, and leaned against the wall.

"Aren't you going to come up, little fish?" The figure spoke, his voice hoarse, with a sense of roughness that couldn't be concealed, and the cigarette butt in his hand was flickering on and off.

"How did you find this place?" Jiang Chenyu didn't answer, but instead asked him, his eyes didn't fall on his face, only the scarlet spot between his fingers.

Zhu Jingci cleared his throat, coughed twice in embarrassment, and his voice recovered a bit clear, "I want to find you, and I can always find you." The tone was soft, with a deliberate pull The long tail tune sounds irresistibly sweet.

Liar, Jiang Chenyu thought.

He has known for a long time that sweet talk is the usual method of this person, but Naihe has tried it repeatedly on him.In this way, he suffered so much for that little bit of sweetness.

"You found it, you can leave, and you don't have to come back again." Jiang Chenyu stepped up the steps, passed him sideways, and stood in front of the door.

Zhu Jingci leaned forward unconsciously, with his usual good-natured smile on his face, "It's already at the door of the house, don't you invite me in for a sit down?"

Jiang Chenyu looked at him intently, as if he wanted to look into the depths of his eyes to judge whether everything he showed was real or a fake?

No, there is no guilt, sadness and insecurity to hide.Zhu Jingci's eyes were like the surface of the sea at midnight, calm and dark, unable to see the bottom.

What are you looking forward to?Jiang Chenyu smiled wryly in his heart, what do you want to see?

He felt very tired, and he didn't have the energy to pester others anymore, "Go, don't come again." He waved his hand, opened the door, and walked in.

Zhu Jingci couldn't keep up for a while.He stood outside the door in a daze, and he didn't come back to himself until the cigarette burned out and his fingertips were caught off guard.

Suddenly there was another sound from inside the door, and he shivered, standing up straight almost instantly.The door opened, and the orange light in the room spread out.

"Pick up the cigarette butt you left at the door." Jiang Chenyu stood at the door with his back to the light, and the expression on his face could not be seen clearly.The voice was flat, with no ups and downs, as if talking to passers-by or neighbors who rarely met, treating them equally without any emotion.

The door closed again.The short-lived warm orange light gradually shrank into a narrow strip as the door closed, and then disappeared.

The door never opened again, and the person behind the door was silent.

Zhu Jingci stood quietly at the door, his slightly long forehead hair hanging down, covering his eyes.After a while, he started to move.Squatting down slowly, he picked up the cigarette butt on the ground.

One, two, three...

While waiting for Jiang Chenyu, he just leaned against the door and smoked one cigarette after another.

He couldn't remember when he started smoking after he went abroad.By the time he realized it, he was already smoking very hard.Two packs a day, only choose low-quality, strong-tasting ones, the spicy breath passes through the lungs, and then slowly spits out from the mouth.

During the whole process, his mind was empty, he didn't have to think about anything, and even his nerves became dull. At this moment, he felt a kind of numb happiness.

When he went to the bar, the blond bartender called him: "Hey, you are the most smoking Chinese I have ever seen."

He casually extinguished the cigarette in the wine glass, looked at the cloudy liquor, and replied after a while: "Because if you want to quit an addictive thing, you always have to find another thing to replace it."

"What is your...addiction?" The bartender struggled to say the unfamiliar word.

"I like someone," Zhu Jingci looked up at him, his eyes slightly squinted, and the lights in the bar intersected, so he couldn't see his expression clearly. "He is my addiction, but I can't quit, and I'm not willing to quit."

"Try this," the bartender took out a slightly thicker cigarette with green in it, and said to him in a coaxing tone: "It will make you happier, and smoking it will ensure that you will be so happy that you won't remember that person." gone."

Zhu Jingci took it casually, looked at it with two fingers, and finally, with a sneer, threw it into the wine glass.

"I still want to go back to see him," he was drunk, and his speech was a little vague, "I have to go back to see him alive."

He used smoking to relieve his longing and desire for Jiang Chenyu, so that he could survive the years when he was alone.

Now that he came back, the moment he saw Jiang Chenyu again, he realized that nothing could suppress his desire for this person.Whether it is cigarettes or anything else, it is useless.

He was addicted to this man, had been for many years, and there was no cure.

Only by really getting close to this person, embracing this person, mingling with this person, and being soaked in the orange fragrance of this person, can he quench his thirst.
