kiss you at sunset

In mid-May, the climate slowly warmed up, and the cherry trees in the old lady's courtyard gradually took shape, reminding the arrival of midsummer.Yang Jin sat at the table, holding a pen in one hand to do the questions, and holding the test paper in the other hand to cool off the heat.

Zhou Shiluo was lying on his back on the kang, bored, and read a lot of novels that were added to the bookshelf before he came. He didn't know what to do when he was free.After turning over twice, he reluctantly got up and asked Yang Jin, "Are there any extra math test papers?"

Yang Jin stopped writing, "Yes, you want to do it?"

Zhou Shiluo said "hmm" and explained, "To pass the time."

"Should it be simpler or more difficult?" Yang Jin looked down, hesitating on the two scrolls.

Zhou Shiluo felt irritable: "The most difficult."

"Are you sure you will do it?" Yang Jin laughed, but still threw the paper to Zhou Shiluo.

Zhou Shiluo took the paper and snatched his pen, with disdain on his face: "I'll show you when I'm done."

About half an hour later, Zhou Shiluo raised his head and threw the test paper to Yang Jin, "I just did ten multiple-choice questions, check it out, Xueba."

Yang Jin checked carefully, and just halfway through the calculation, a shout came from outside.

"Xiao Jin, come quickly, is Da Huang dying?"

Yang Jin was stunned, and immediately rushed out after recovering. The moment he opened the door, he saw Rhubarb lying on the ground.

The big yellow dog's limbs were stiff, foaming at the mouth, and its eyes were wide open. When it saw Yang Jin appearing, it stared at its legs twice with tears in it, and never moved again.

Yang Jin's legs went limp immediately, but fortunately Zhou Shiluo behind him helped him in time, so he almost didn't fall to his knees.He braced himself up and squatted beside Rhubarb in a daze.

"Rhubarb?" Yang Jin called twice suspiciously, but there was no response.

Old lady Tan had raised dogs before, and she guessed from the symptoms of rhubarb: "It should be canine distemper. The rhubarb was a little wilted a few days ago, and your mother wouldn't even eat chicken bones for him."

"I'll take it to the hospital." Yang Jin anxiously picked up the dog, and was about to go outside.

Seeing this, the old lady said "Ouch", and hurriedly yelled at Yang Jin, "I'm already dead, and I can't be saved. Besides, there is no one in the village who treats dogs. Where do you go?"

Yang Jin didn't listen, and walked forward without thinking.

Zhou Shiluo comforted the old lady a few words, raised his foot and chased her out.Yang Jin walked very fast, and he chased very hard. Fortunately, when he yelled Yang Jin for the third time, the other party stopped.

Zhou Shiluo hurriedly followed, and when he came up, he asked, "Where are you going?"

Yang Jin didn't speak, he lowered his head, unable to see his expression.In fact, he didn't know where he was going. The sudden blow made him lose his direction in an instant, and only the old lady's "dog plague" was left in his mind.

Yang Jin was full of remorse, he blamed himself, if he could pay more attention and pay more attention, even if it was just a little bit, wouldn't Da Huang not die.

Zhou Shiluo sighed, patted Yang Jin on the shoulder lightly, and coaxed, "Bury it."

Yang Jin didn't answer, just stroking the dog in his arms over and over again.It took a long time to accept this fact, and slowly raised his head, with tears in his red eyes.

Zhou Shiluo suddenly felt a little uncomfortable, as if someone had pressed hard on the softest part of his heart, causing instant soreness. He slowed down his voice and coaxed patiently again: "Be obedient."

Yang Jin nodded, pursed his lips, and let out a vague "um".

"If you don't eat, isn't it just a dead dog? If you like it, you can raise another one after the college entrance examination." He Lingling muttered as she cleared the table.

The more she tidied up, the more angry she became. She finally came back from work and cooked the food so hard. One of the two ancestors in the family disliked the food, and the other simply refused to eat it.

"It's all used to it."

The soundproofing effect of the room was poor, and He Lingling's words reached Yang Jin's ears verbatim.He froze for a moment, then quickly turned his attention back to the math problem.He wanted to pretend he couldn't hear, so he tried hard to think whether he should choose A or B for this question, but he couldn't choose a definite answer until the end.

He still couldn't help thinking of rhubarb.

For He Lingling, it might be a stupid dog who only wags its tail and begs for mercy.But for Yang Jin, rhubarb is his first "friend".He has been with him since the fifth grade until now. He remembers that Rhubarb always protected him when he was beaten when he was a child, comforted him when he was sad, and played with him when he was bored.

Yang Jin came back to his senses, the paper was still blank, and he couldn't write a word, so he simply put down his pen, slid down his back, and leaned against the chair discouraged.

He was in a trance when he heard someone knocking on his door, Yang Jin was taken aback for a moment, He Lingling was the only one at home, but He Lingling always pushed the door directly to come in, this was the first time someone knocked on his door.

He got up and walked over, the door was pushed open, Yang Jin was stunned, he didn't expect Zhou Shiluo to be outside the door.

"I guess senior high school students shouldn't be able to go to bed so early." Zhou Shiluo walked in, holding two bottles of Coke in his hand, and threw a bottle to Yang Jin.

Yang Jin was slightly surprised: "Brother, why are you here?"

Zhou Shiluo sat down on the kang, opened the Coke and took a sip: "I'll bring you a Coke."

Seeing Yang Jin's surprised expression, he added: "It's just that I bought too much. If you don't want to drink, you can return it to me."

When Yang Jin heard this, he was afraid that Zhou Shiluo would go back, so he immediately opened it and took two gulps.

Zhou Shiluo glanced at him twice, then looked away, staring at the Coke in his hand.In fact, he didn't tell the truth, he didn't just come to give Coke.After he accompanied Yang Jin to bury the rhubarb, Yang Jin went home.Zhou Shiluo knew that he was in a bad mood, so he wisely didn't bother him.

But Zhou Shiluo couldn't help worrying in his heart. Yang Jin was about to take the college entrance examination in half a month. As someone who had experienced it, Zhou Shiluo knew the pressure and suffering before the exam.He was afraid that Yang Jin would fall into endless guilt and self-blame because of the rhubarb matter, and he was afraid that Yang Jin would not be able to face the upcoming college entrance examination wholeheartedly.

Zhou Shiluo was like an old father who was worried about his heart. He wanted to comfort him but didn't know how to say it. After struggling for a long time, he called Yang Jin softly.

"...Hmm." Yang Jin responded.

Zhou Shiluo put down the Coke, licked his teeth subconsciously, and talked about his past: "Actually, I raised a turtle when I was young."

He paused for two seconds, and said honestly: "I don't raise it because it's cute or like it, it's purely because the seller said it's easy to feed."

Zhou Shiluo recalled that he couldn't help laughing, "The seller said that it can send me away if it is well-raised."

Yang Jin didn't show any expression, and waited seriously for Zhou Shiluo's next words, his eyes revealing his obedience.

"At that time, I was just playing around, so I didn't pay much attention to it, so it died in the end." Zhou Shiluo looked at Yang Jin and sighed: "I'm actually quite uncomfortable, and the main thing is to blame myself."

The word "self-blame" pierced Yang Jin's heart like a sharp sword. He lowered his head and squeezed the Coke can in his hand.

Zhou Shiluo: "Later it was my grandma who told me that it actually left to enjoy its blessings."

Zhou Shiluo is not very good at comforting others, so he can only draw a ladle from a gourd, imitating his grandmother Zeng's method of comforting him, and said seriously to Yang Jin: "So... don't be sad, Rhubarb is going to enjoy the blessing."

Yang Jin raised his eyes slightly, he knew that Zhou Luo was comforting himself, he was stunned for a long time, before he said "um".

Then there was a silence.

Zhou Shiluo felt extremely embarrassed, and immediately searched for a new topic in his mind, intending to quickly turn the page, but after searching around, he found nothing, and unexpectedly smelled a faint fragrance.

He groped around, and finally locked his eyes on Yang Jin's quilt. Zhou Shiluo lowered his head, took a breath, and said in surprise, "Fuck, why is your quilt so fragrant?"

Yang Jin didn't understand, and it took him a long time to react: "It should be the smell of washing powder. My mother just changed the quilt yesterday."

Zhou Shi Luo thought of his bed that smelled of old cigarettes, took off one end of it, and said sourly: "It's nice to have a mother."

Zhou Shiluo closed his eyes. He hadn't slept in a clean and refreshing bed for a long time, so he wanted to cling to it for a while longer, so regardless of whether Yang Jintong agreed or not, he told him domineeringly: "You study, just pretend that I don't exist, and I will rest for a while." just go."

Zhou Shiluo took a break as he spoke, but soon lost his voice.

Yang Jin hesitated for a moment, instead of waking him up, he carefully took off Zhou Shiluo's shoes and socks, and slowly moved him into the bed.

Zhou Shiluo slept well, without the usual arrogance and disdain. His slender eyelashes trembled slightly due to the light. Yang Jin couldn't help reaching out his hand to touch it. When he was about to touch it, his fingers paused and fell silent again. took it back.

Then he took out another quilt from the closet and slept next to Zhou Shiluo.
