kiss you at sunset

Zhou Shiluo went back to the house absent-mindedly. He didn't even hear what the old lady in the back room said to him, and he responded perfunctorily.

He was sitting on the edge of the kang, and the bag of milk candy in his hand was thrown aside by him.He lowered his head and untied the shoelaces in silence, only to realize that his favorite sneakers on his feet were terribly dirty.

He got up irritably, picked up the rag from the cabinet and began to polish his shoes. The harder he wiped, the dirtier he became. Finally, he angrily threw the rag on the ground, turned around and got into the bed.

Zhou Shiluo turned his back to the bag of toffee, deliberately not to pay too much attention to it.But as soon as he closed his eyes, countless fragments swarmed into his mind uncontrollably, and finally pieced together little by little to form Yang Jin's smiling face.

He just spit out the words of wanting to eat sweets casually, without any hope, and he didn't mean to force it. In the end, he didn't even remember it himself, but there was such a person who kept it in his heart.

When Yang Jin carefully took out the bag of toffee, Zhou Shiluo admitted that he was really shocked for a moment, and moved followed him and wrapped him up layer by layer.

Since he was a child, he thought he lacked everything, but suddenly he felt as if he had nothing.

He opened his eyes in confusion, struggled for a long time before getting up, then turned around and picked up the toffee that was thrown aside, gently tore open the package, squeezed out one and put it in his mouth.This was what the child bought him with reproaches and slaps. The taste was obviously sweet, but somehow bitter.

Since Yang Jin sneaked out to buy candy that night, He Lingling has been under strict supervision. Basically, He Lingling, who went out to work when Yang Jin came home from school, was already at home.

Except that Yang Jin was allowed to go to the bathroom, he was not allowed to leave the door. This made Yang Jin, who went to Zhou Shi Luona to report every day after school, very depressed.He was eager to know whether toffee was sweet or not, and whether his brother liked it.

In order to be able to see Zhou Shiluo, Yang Jin urinated more and more times, but he was never as lucky as that night.

Zhou Shiluo also found that Yang Jin was very honest recently. Although he was suspicious, he didn't go to find Yang Jin on purpose, after all, the other party was a child who was much younger than himself.If it wasn't for Yang Jin's quiz later, they would probably have to face each other across the fence.

Zhou Shiluo was studying laundry at home that day. Although Tan Cui sent a lot of clothes, Zhou Shiluo couldn't bear the frequency of Zhou Shiluo's one set a day.

In summer, he loves to sweat, and in addition to the dust everywhere in the village, Zhou Shiluo, who had clothes, did not take care of them any more, and habitually threw them aside when they were dirty, gradually accumulating more and more.

So, after confirming that there was no washing machine at home, Zhou Shiluo, who was unwilling to bother the old lady, rolled up his sleeves.

He was squatting on the ground with a water basin in his hand, his slender legs made him look extraordinarily bulky when he squatted down.

Zhou Shiluo has never washed clothes, and the washing machine is usually working at home, and the nanny will send out the clothes that the washing machine can't wash.Zhou Shiluo, who was inexperienced, couldn't do anything for a while, and stood in a stalemate against the water basin for a long time. Finally, he could only imitate the way the girls in the class wash their handkerchiefs between classes, rubbing their hands indiscriminately.

After a while, my legs became numb and sore from squatting.Zhou Shiluo moved out a low bench from the house, but the bench was higher than the water basin, and sticking out his butt would only make it more uncomfortable.

Just when he was at his wit's end, Yang Jin's immature voice entered Zhou Shiluo's ears cheerfully, "Brother, how about I wash it for you."

Zhou Shiluo raised his eyes and looked at the child who had disappeared for a long time and then popped up in front of him. He wanted to subconsciously refuse, but what came out of his mouth was: "OK."

After finishing speaking, he straightened up conveniently, just when he was about to pick up the dirty clothes beside him to wipe his hands, Yang Jin pushed him in disgust, "Block [1], brother."

Zhou Shiluo had no choice but to wipe it carelessly, then took two steps back obediently, and found a non-obstructive place to stand.

Yang Jin is small in stature, squatting by the basin has no sense of disobedience, he scrubs his clothes skillfully, and then says in distaste: "Brother, there is a bit too much washing powder."

Zhou Shiluo looked at the basin full of white foam, and gave a faint "hmm".

Yang Jin, who was working hard, was much more obedient than usual, holding the dirt on his clothes with his two small hands, and rubbing them vigorously.

Seeing this, Zhou Shiluo frowned slightly. To be honest, this dress was not the most expensive in his closet, but his distress was real.

Although Zhou Shiluo doesn't know how to wash clothes, he also knows that according to Yang Jin's rubbing method, he will be able to have a trendy T-shirt that is one size bigger than Yang Jin in just a few times.

"That..." Zhou Shiluo opened his mouth, his eyes met, the reminder unexpectedly turned a corner in Yang Jin's puzzled eyes, "You...don't have class today?"

Yang Jin shook his head, then nodded contradictoryly.

"Class," Yang Jin raised his head, looked at Zhou Shiluo with a pair of watery eyes, and explained: "There is a small exam today, and I finished the papers early and came back."

Zhou Shiluo said "Oh" and asked, "Is the question simple?"

This question is like a remote control button, which suddenly turned on the switch of Yang Jin's chatterbox, "It's okay, English is quite simple, I learned it from textbooks, and my Chinese is okay, but I can't remember a few words when I look at pictures and write. How to write it, in the end it can only be replaced by pinyin."

While talking, he sighed: "It's just that I didn't answer the math well, and I didn't understand the last big question. If you give me more time, I will definitely be able to figure it out."

Zhou Shiluo listened quietly, and when he heard the child's unreasonable words, he subconsciously asked: "Since you can calculate it, why do you have to hand in the paper in advance?"

Yang Jin obviously didn't react, he paused for a while, and immediately changed his words: "I'm just kidding, the last question is too difficult, I can't do it."

Zhou Shiluo's eyes moved slightly, and he knew there was something wrong with it without thinking about it carefully. He looked at Yang Jin suspiciously for a while, and finally said his guess: "Recently, someone blocked you again, so you slipped away in advance?"

"That's not true." Yang Jin denied in a low voice, then silently lowered his head.

Yang Jin's reaction confirmed Zhou Shiluo's conjecture. He paused for a moment and asked, "Are they studying well?"

Yang Jin knew who this "they" was referring to. This time he wasn't trying to quibble, but told the truth: "Not good, Zhao Fangqi was the last one in the class when he returned to the exam."

Zhou Shiluo didn't ask who Zhao Fangqi was, he guessed it was the kid whose parents brought him to apologize last time.Zhou Shiluo knows very well that usually bullying will not be reconciled just because of one or two apologies, on the contrary it will only make the other party feel more grudges.

"If they are poor students, they will most likely hand in the papers first, and usually they can't wait until the last moment of the exam, so you can answer the questions well and don't have to think about slipping away early." Zhou Shiluo comforted.

Yang Jin shook his head in a low voice, and muttered: "That's not true, Zhao Fangqi's aunt is the principal, so he dare not hand in the papers in advance."

With that said, Zhou Shiluo finally understood.

He has always wondered that with He Lingling's personality, Yang Jin would not be wronged everywhere. It turned out that it was the identity of the other party that made Yang Jin dare not speak.

He didn't continue to ask, and looked at Yang Jin quietly with a pair of deep eyes. The loose collar hanging on the child's neck was sliding down silently with the scrubbing action, and it didn't take long to reveal half of his fair and thin face. On the shoulder, further down, a stick mark that had already turned dark could be vaguely seen.

Zhou Shiluo withdrew his gaze and said lightly, "When is the summer vacation?"

Yang Jin raised his head in surprise, and answered honestly despite being puzzled: "There are still two weeks."

Zhou Shiluo nodded. After hesitating for a while, he said awkwardly, "I'll pick you up and drop you off from school in these two weeks."

Yang Jin was taken aback by this sentence. He opened his eyes wide and shook his head quickly, "No, brother, I don't need to trouble you."

Zhou Shiluo, who was rejected, couldn't bear to lose face. He licked his molars and simply pretended he didn't hear.

Seeing that Zhou Shiluo ignored him, Yang Jin simply changed the subject and asked a question that had been pent up in his heart for a long time, "Brother, is that toffee delicious?"

Zhou Shiluo frowned slightly, pretended to recall, and then commented with mixed feelings: "It's not delicious."

"Ah..." Yang Jin lowered his head, very disappointed.

In the next three days, Yang Jin really saw Zhou Shiluo on the way to and from school.

But Zhou Shiluo never greeted him, nor walked alongside him, he was like a wandering passerby, walking slowly within Yang Jin's sight with his hands in his pockets.Only when Zhao Fangqi's gang appeared, Zhou Shiluo would take the initiative to approach and lead Yang Jin home.

Although every movement is unfriendly, like carrying a chicken, but Yang Jin's heart seems to be filled with honey, sweet and satisfying.
