For the favor of Mr. Shen

I will always be, your monitor.

"Don't go, don't go, don't go!" Shi Yiqing yelled at Xiao Wen for no reason.

Xiao Wen stood by the river: "Ah... what's wrong with you."

Shi Yiqing leaned his back against the corridor wall, slid down softly and squatted on the ground, at this moment a person appeared at the stairs, Zhang Liang's tall body blocked the colorful light in the bar.

Shi Yiqing muttered to the phone and said, "Can I bring a friend with me?"

Xiao Wen was confused, but still said enthusiastically: "Of course! I'll send you the address!"

After hanging up the phone, Zhang Liang asked what was going on.

Shi Yiqing explained stiffly: "A friend keeps asking me to go out to play, I'm very annoyed."

Zhang Liang stretched out his hand and he got up: "Get up quickly, how dirty this place is, you can go if you want to go or not."

"Go, it's so boring and noisy here, there are so many people." Shi Yiqing said.

After the two said hello to Lu Qinghao, they wanted to go out to take a taxi, but Lu Qinghao still felt uneasy. Zhang Liang, the two students, was still very unfamiliar with Dingzhou City, so he decided to send them there.

Shi Yiqing and Zhang Liang didn't speak on the road, Lu Qinghao drove the car quietly, and while waiting for the green light at a big intersection, he looked at the rearview mirror boredly, and suddenly said: "You've grown up so much now."

Zhang Liang: "What did you say all of a sudden, cousin?"

Lu Qinghao smiled: "It just suddenly occurred to me that a few years ago, I was taken to the police station when I went back to China for the New Year. At that time, I was so scared to death, and I was so angry by the liar that my head was dazed. At that time, did Ah Qing call an adult? Am I the one who came to fish?"

"Well," Shi Yiqing replied, and wanted to talk about Uncle Shen, so he had to say reluctantly, "It's Uncle Shen."

Lu Qinghao recalled: "At that time, I was so busy getting angry that I didn't thank your uncle properly. Now that I think about it, your uncle is really handsome."

Shi Yiqing pursed her lips and blinked her eyes, why did it feel a bit weird for Lu Qinghao, a gay, to praise Uncle Shen?

"At that time, Ah Liang told me that you lived with your uncle, and I thought it was a bit strange."

Shi Yiqing suppressed the smile on his face: "What's so strange?"

Lu Qinghao looked at his eyes, after a moment of stunned, he laughed, and said it was nothing.

After the red light ended, he continued driving without further discussion of the topic.

He thought, maybe Shi Yiqing didn't know that his Uncle Shen was different from other uncles, they couldn't see it, but he could.

Although Shen Mu is more restrained and low-key compared to many people in the circle, there is a radar among the same kind.

Zhang Liang explained to him why Shi Yiqing lived with Shen Mu, and also learned how Shen Mu devoted himself to taking care of Shi Yiqing, and felt it was quite valuable.

Hebin Boulevard is a leisure and tourist place in Dingzhou City. There are many young people doing activities here on weekdays, playing skateboards, cycling, playing ball, dancing street dances, and so on.

It is the most lively in summer, but now it is cold and there are no people there, only some couples walking on the road and young people like Shi Yiqing and the others who arranged to come over to set off fireworks.

After Lu Qinghao left, Shi Yiqing called Xiao Wen and walked over to the location he said.

"Ah Qing! Here!"

Shi Yiqing looked over, there were a few people around the dry fountain, not knowing what they were doing.

Shi Yiqing reached out and grabbed Zhang Liang's wrist: "Go, monitor!"

The biggest characteristic of Xiao Wen is his enthusiasm. His abc friends are also very enthusiastic. Seeing Shi Yiqing and Zhang Liang coming, they all came over to say hello.

"This is Jane, Lala, Xiaode, and Justin. This is Shi Yiqing I told you about, and his friends." Xiao Wen introduced them one by one.

Shi Yiqing also hurriedly said: "This is my childhood friend, Zhang Liang."

Xiao Wen's friends all come back from abroad, among them Lala and Xiaode are friends he has known since childhood, and they are very close.

Lala also studied in Yinghua Middle School, but she was one grade younger than them. She looked at Shi Yiqing and said, "I know you. Are you the one who is good at drawing?"

Shi Yiqing: "Well, it's an art candidate."

Lala: "Xiaode is also an art candidate!"

A few people chatted about the topic of art candidates, and found out that everyone had more or less overlaps, and the most interesting thing was that Zhang Liang and Jane had participated in the same physics competition.

Young people warm up so quickly.

The two girls brought Polaroids and dvs, as well as a lot of small fireworks such as fairy sticks, thinking that everyone would take some photos together.

There are more and more people on the Riverside Boulevard, and some people set up projectors in the open space and started to play movies, some drive-in taverns started to sell alcohol, and young people sang with guitars.

Shi Yiqing knew for the first time that not everyone was watching the Spring Festival Gala on the sofa with his family at home during the Chinese New Year like him.

It's also possible to celebrate New Year's Eve like this.

"Let's go watch a movie over there!" Xiao Wen said.

Watching open-air movies at night in February may not be a good environment, but the New Year is coming, friends gather together, young couples cuddle with each other, who would not like to watch a classic "Happy Family"?

Xiao Wen spent money to rent a folding chair, Shi Yiqing and Zhang Liang sat next to each other, Xiao Wen ran to Shi Yiqing's side again, Xiao Wen's friends sat next to Xiao Wen again, and several of them sat in a row in an orderly manner.

When one-fifth of the film was played, someone in the crowd suddenly shouted: "It's twelve o'clock!"

As soon as the words fell, New Year's fireworks began to be set off on the square not far away.

This is the fireworks that the government arranges for major festivals every year after the city prohibits private fireworks.

Shi Yiqing stared at the fireworks above his head without moving, no one around him spoke, and someone held up his mobile phone to record this moment.

Shi Yiqing looked at it and suddenly missed Uncle Shen very much.

I don't know what he is doing now, who was that woman just now?Who is that man?

At this time Zhang Liang suddenly patted Shi Yiqing on the shoulder: "Ah Qing."

"Huh?" Shi Yiqing turned to look at him.

Only then did I realize that many people had already stood up at the scene, and someone beside them began to confess, playing the guitar and singing "Love Is What You Need", Xiao Wen and his friends had already gone to join in the fun, leaving only the curtain in front of them still clamoring.

Zhang Liang took off his foggy glasses: "Actually, there is something I've always wanted to tell you."

Shi Yiqing looked at him, as if he knew what he wanted to say.

"You said."

Zhang Liang: "Xiao Wen and I are actually the same person."

After he said this, his eyes immediately became cramped, and he lowered his head slightly to explain: "The source of the quarrel with my father tonight is because my brother dug out my things and threw them in the living room, even though my cousin said that the magazine belonged to him. , but I know that things have actually been exposed."

"Squad leader..."

"Ah Qing, I probably knew that I was like this since junior high school, but back then I was young and didn't have many friends, and I was only with you every day, and I even felt like I was like..."

"Squad leader!" Shi Yiqing interrupted Zhang Liang: "Thank you for being willing to tell me this. No matter what you are, our relationship will not change."

He looked at Zhang Liang sincerely, with firm and gentle eyes.

Either accept or reject.

Zhang Liang's eyes turned red suddenly, he choked up a little and then smiled and said, "I know, Ah Qing, no matter what happens in the future, I will always be, your monitor."

Shi Yiqing felt that this moment was very suitable for a hug.

He did just that.

Zhang Liang's shoulders were much broader than his, trembling slightly.

Both he and Zhang Liang knew that the ignorant love at that time was the confusion of youth, the illusion brought about by the growth of hormones in adolescence, and the two relying on each other.

Not to mention this is because I want to keep the purest beauty as before.

And why love is impure, no one can explain clearly, only know that it is the feeling that they can't handle well now.

Shi Yiqing released Zhang Liang, both of them smiled shyly, and then they were relieved.

"Hey! Monitor, what do you think of Xiao Wen?"

"Ah Qing, maybe you don't understand, but two 1's have no future."

……

At this time, Shi Yiqing took out the mobile phone from the pocket of the down jacket as if he had some kind of induction, and there was indeed a call from Shen Mu on it.

"Uncle Shen!" Shi Yiqing immediately took it happily.

Shen Mu just fell asleep after drinking too much, and woke up with the idea of ​​"there is still something to do" in his heart, and now he is leaning on the bedside to talk to Shi Yiqing on the phone.

There is a bowl of hangover soup that can only be found in China on the bedside of his bed, with a note underneath saying: Take a good rest.

"I'm sorry, Ah Qing, I drank too much with a few colleagues tonight." Shen Mu rubbed his temples, his voice hoarse.

Shi Yiqing said in a tight voice, "Is it better now? Do you feel uncomfortable? Let's make some hangover soup and take some medicine."

Shen Mu smiled, "It's much better, and it's New Years in 2 minutes, Ah Qing."

He didn't know why, but when he said this, his heart and eyes were full of sweetness and tenderness.

Shi Yiqing chuckled, and realized that Zhang Liang got up and walked away at this moment, and went to Xiao Wen's side to help them take pictures.

"Uncle Shen, I thought you wouldn't call me tonight."

"How come, we agreed to count down to the New Year's Eve together."

Shi Yiqing, who was still jealous and annoyed by strangers answering the phone for Shen Mu, is now completely relieved, those people are not important, as long as Uncle Shen always remembers that they made an agreement to spend New Year's Eve together every year, he can forgive them.

After chatting for a few more words, the fireworks on the square became even bigger.

"Uncle Shen, can you hear it? The sound of fireworks."

Shen Mu hummed, got up and walked to the balcony, opened the window to breathe the fresh air outside, leaned lazily on the balcony in his nightgown, looked at the watch on his wrist and said to Shi Yiqing: "There are still ten seconds, Ah Qing."

"Ten, nine...three, two, one! Happy New Year!"

Shi Yiqing smiled happier than everyone present, even though the first person to say Happy New Year to him during the new year was not around.

After hanging up the phone, Shi Yiqing still didn't get out of this feeling of happiness of "still being Uncle Shen's first choice", and he was all foolish on the way home.

Even Lu Qinghao and Li Ge were curious and asked Zhang Liang what happened to him.

Zhang Liang could only shrug.

Shi Yiqing returned home alone, took a quick shower and went to bed.

I thought Zhang Liang would stay in Dingzhou for a few more days, but he bought a bus ticket and went home the next day.

Shi Yiqing asked him if his parents told him to go back, but he just smiled and said no, he just didn't think it was necessary, and his brother cried all night because he wasn't here.

He is also a person who has suffered a lot of grievances because of his soft heart.

The winter vacation is over soon, and after a week of school, Shi Yiqing deeply feels that there is not enough time. Those complicated formulas and words that can't be memorized are much more difficult for him than painting.

So he proposed to Tan Xiaoli to live on campus, because many students have started to live on campus this semester. He was given preferential treatment and could not go to evening self-study, but now he has to devote himself to preparing for the college entrance examination.

Uncle Shen wants to start a company in Dingzhou City, and he must be admitted to Dingzhou Academy of Fine Arts, which ranks among the top five in the country.

In mid-May, Shi Yiqing's mock test scores were already stable above the mark line, but he didn't dare to relax, acting like a test machine.

Liu Yicheng sadly said countless times after seeing Shi Yiqing staying up all night with liver problems: "Does your brain know how to draw after being admitted to the university?"

On Sunday night, Shi Yiqing just returned to the dormitory from the classroom, ready to take a shower.

When I was taking a shower in the bathroom, I always felt inexplicably hairy, restless, and flustered.

After coming out, I still felt very uneasy, so I quickly found my mobile phone to turn it on.

In order to maintain the concentration of study, the mobile phone is basically turned off and placed in the dormitory.

After turning on the phone, a lot of messages popped up, various apps and promotional text messages covered the phone's desktop, Shi Yiqing clicked on WeChat, and after a brief reaction, the first unread message was displayed.

Tonight at [-]:[-], from Uncle Shen: Ah Qing, Grandpa Ninth has passed away.
