This second-hand Yamaha spent most of the prize money that Yang Jian got from the competition in Shanghai last time. It was the one he set his eyes on as early as the early spring of this year. He said that some places are too inconvenient to go by bicycle, and the bus is too crowded for him. up.But Li Bai jumped into the back seat and hugged his waist tightly, but he was wondering whether this person could really see through all his thoughts, such as the weird idea of ​​puncturing a tire——

Motorcycle tires are much harder to puncture than bicycle tires.

After thinking about it, he found it funny, Li Bai scolded himself for being seriously ill, buried his face in Yang Jian's back, and secretly kissed him.What's even more ridiculous is that he originally wanted to buy this motorcycle as a birthday present for Yang Jian, and it was also considered to be fuel for that busy senior. In the end, he saved money for half a year and went to second-hand stores to look at it from time to time. Look, I'm afraid it will be bought by someone, so far it is still about 4000% short, which is more than [-] yuan.But Yang Jian's birthday was approaching, and he was planning to borrow it from a colleague or a lending company, but he didn't expect Yang Jian to appear in front of him riding it without saying a word.

Should it be a coincidence or not?

Li Bai took a hard bite on Yang Jian's shoulder through the T-shirt of Peking University School of Materials Science and Technology printed with the words "Looking at things to learn, lifelong wisdom".

Yang Jian was squeezing towards the third ring road, and he dared not leave the handlebars with both hands, so he had to protest verbally: "Are you grinding your teeth?"

Li Bai hugged him even tighter, and glanced at a small car next to him. He felt that the evening wind blowing in him was cooler than the air conditioner in that car, "I was thinking about what birthday present I would give you!"

"Nothing else," Yang Jian successfully turned around the most congested entrance, and said, "Just give me your teeth."

Li Bai laughed happily, and his depression disappeared immediately, anyway, the money he saved was going to be spent!This time I can't finish spending it, so I will spend it on Yang Jian from now on. He made up his mind and blew lightly on the tooth marks, "Shall we go home? I have never walked this road!"

"No return," Yang Jian seemed to have begun to selectively ignore the toss behind him, arched his waist, and focused on speeding up against the concrete fence beside the ring road, "Go to a fun place tonight."

Under normal circumstances, Yang Jian said something, and just shut up if he didn't. He was never the type of person who loves to be close.But this day may be too windy, and the road conditions are complicated and there are no interruptions, so it is quite difficult for the two to communicate.Li Bai rested his head on that stiff spine, and called out "Brother" at every turn, nothing else, just shouted happily, and the pink bubble dreams about "fun places" in his heart floated up one after another. I feel like the heroine in a movie who follows her boyfriend to the end of the world, with long hair flying all over her head.But Yang Jian was always silent, and his mind was obviously still tied on the road.

The Yamaha rumbled, at first headed south dully, then turned a corner and ran all the way to the east of the city, passing Jinsong and Sifang Bridge, seeing that the passing area was getting more and more remote, and it was getting dark, Yang Jian could see clearly from a distance A sign, and then breathed a sigh of relief, took Li Bai down the elevated road, and sat down at a random barbecue restaurant.

While waiting for Chuaner, he bit open a bottle of iced Arctic Ocean, handed it to Li Bai, and explained, "I'm in the props team for the Campus Drama Festival, and I need to buy some costume accessories."

"Aren't you an actor? A leading actor?" Li Bai looked at his face, feeling deeply regretful.

"No time to rehearse." Yang Jian picked up a piece of tomato mixed with sugar.

"How much is the cost of clothing?"

"three hundred."

"...Then you can go to the zoo wholesale market." Li Bai wiped the tabletops of the two of them with the paper towels he brought. "Cosmetics and props and accessories go to Beixinqiao. I used to know people when I was helping in the art troupe, and it was cheaper." .”

"How cheap?"

"Twenty percent off."

"There are cheaper ones, basically at [-]% off." Yang Jian pointed behind him, "It's right next to it, and it opens at twelve o'clock."

Li Bai squinted his eyes and looked at the place he was pointing at, only the dark night outside the lighting range of the barbecue stall light bulb.He looked suspicious: "There is no market that is open in the middle of the night and there is no light at all."

"Black is right," Yang Jian raised his eyebrows, "otherwise, why would it be called a 'ghost market'?"

Li Bai's eyes widened, and he immediately calmed down. He took a bite of the freshly served roasted chicken gizzards, and then was poured into the Arctic Ocean. He was obviously a little scared. If you come, you won't let him go back with trembling legs.

But Yang Jian looked at the clumsy look of this man biting the mouth of the bottle while drinking a soda, and thought amusedly, with such a mouthful of shark teeth, who else would dare to mess with you.

The so-called "ghost market" is located in an inconspicuous corner of the East Fifth Ring Road. In fact, it is a second-hand trading market that only opens every Wednesday morning. The second-hand goods collected from all over the place are put up for sale.As for the rest of the week, it is called "Daliushu Market", and it is also a second-hand business, but there are special shops and supervision, and the prices are relatively high. In short, there is no mystery at all, let alone ghosts and gods. .

However, Li Bai was still intimidated by the name "ghost market", and followed Yang Jian closely after he came out of the barbecue stall.Entering the old archway-like entrance, he felt uncomfortably that there was a lot of people and shadows all around, and the lighting was only provided by a few dilapidated street lamps on the side of the road and a few small light bulbs provided by the stall owners.

Li Bai moved closer, almost grabbing Yang Jian's hand and sticking himself against it.In fact, in Nanjing before, he often found himself in such dark corners unavoidably, especially the dark alley between the barber shop where he worked part-time and his dormitory, which was about 1000 meters long. There are endless legends, and there are often people who directly lean on the wall to do it in the dark, and the sound is like wild cats fighting in spring. Li Bai has seen them with his own eyes, but he never feels afraid even if he passes them by.He always said to himself in his heart: I am not afraid of going to jail or being shot, and I will kill anyone who dares to recruit me.

It can be said that at that time he had the pride of being barefoot and not afraid of wearing shoes.Now he is soft, Yang Jian is by his side, he always feels like he is dragging his family, and the faces of the passers-by cannot be seen clearly. The more they look, the more they seem to have mixed in with thugs and thieves. , that means Yang Jian was unlucky with him.

"Brother," he grabbed Yang Jian's hand, "Our car won't be stolen if it's parked outside!"

"There are two locks on." Yang Jian was as leisurely as if he was taking a walk.

"What if someone pries it open?"

"There's a Harley parked next to him, so I'm not afraid," Yang Jian patted the back of his hand, "Relax."

Well, Li Bai thought, he obeyed obediently, exhaled and inhaled for a long time, but the effect was not good, it was still like a taut bowstring.The market is so endless, but fortunately Yang Jian was only superficially careless, but in fact he quickly locked on the target, handed him the flashlight he brought with him to help carry it, and stopped at a small stall in front of a rolling shutter door.

Across a few rows of shelves full of clothes, he raised his voice: "Boss, how do you sell this?"

"It's ten yuan a catty for individual customers!" A female voice came back, with a slight Cantonese accent, and she shouldn't be young.

Li Bai stood on tiptoe, only to see a bunch of curly hair curled up behind her when she bent over to arrange the goods.

"I'm pretty big." Yang Jian picked up a long dress, looked it up and down with the flashlight, and then leaned close to Li Bai's ear, "The story takes place in the Caribbean Sea, so it should be a little exotic, how many pieces can you help me choose?"

"It's said that the quantity is large. Do you want a few catties?" The boss stood up. Li Bai wondered where the Caribbean Sea was and what kind of style it would have. He saw her yellow bangs and tired eyes with puffy eyes behind the shelves.

"A dozen or twenty pieces, no matter what, it must weigh ten catties." Yang Jian held Li Bai's wrist and asked him to raise the flashlight a little bit, as if deliberately to let the boss see, "My school drama festival costume, I see you here The skirts are pretty nice, and I want girls to wear them on stage, but the college is rather stingy, and the budget doesn't give much money."

He said with a very sincere and innocent smile.

Seeing him like this, the boss also smiled, and then noticed the words printed in white on the chest of his T-shirt, "It's from Peking University!"

"I'm really embarrassed to say that." Yang Jian's smile showed some helplessness again.

"All right, all right, you and your classmates can choose." The boss waved his hand, then bent down and continued to tidy up, "I'll give you a [-]% discount if you pick enough ten catties."

Yang Jian immediately said "thank you" loudly, choosing dresses with bright prints, especially yellow ones.Li Bai was stunned at the sight just now, but now he quickly regained his composure and picked out the same according to his standards. The two men's arms were quickly covered with thick skirts, and some had Gucci printed on the back collar. , and some skirts had obvious stains, but Yang Jian didn't care at all. He took Li Bai's victory, weighed it with his own, and then hung back two, and tied the rest into a roll, and left. After arriving at the shelf, ask the boss to weigh it.

Li Bai quickly followed, and the boss was just as he had imagined, short, fat, plainly dressed, and shrewd.

She put the roll of clothes on the scale, and some of the corners of the clothes fell apart, and they were dragged on the ground without paying attention.This should be just what she wants, it's better to weigh it lightly.

But seeing that Yang Jian was not in a hurry, he just continued to smile and watched her repeat the weighing. Li Bai felt bored and couldn't help looking around. He looked about ten years old, passed them across the road with an old pipe in his mouth, and one of them met his eyes, hooked his chin playfully and smiled at him.

Li Bai had already put away the flashlight, but he put his hand in the bag and did not take it out. He stared at the man, and touched Yang Jian's ear with his lips, "Brother, I actually brought a knife."

Yang Jian ignored him for a while, because the boss weighed it three times and it was a little more than ten catties, so he had to quote the price at a [-]% discount. Li's hand, said: "Scissors?"

"It's a boning knife, pointed, the kind used in butcher shops." Li Bai's voice was still quiet, and his eyes never moved. Yes, I'll change it."

Yang Jian can understand Li Bai's vigilance from childhood, although it is really unnecessary at this time and place, and a boning knife is a bit exaggerated.At the same time, following Li Bai's gaze, he also saw the big brother with the flowery arms, and his companions stopped to watch in front of an antique stall. The strange smile should be Li Bai.

"Oh, you're going to stab him?" Yang Jian put his arms around Li Bai's shoulders, and suddenly lowered his head and arched his chin, so that people could turn their ears to him.From a distance, they should look like they are rubbing hands together, their eyes are light and heavy, they are all straight, and they still look in the same direction.

However, Li Bai suddenly became excited, "I'm so annoying!" His voice was almost unbearable, and his shoulders jumped nervously under Yang Jian's hands, "Do you know that it's annoying to stare at others like this?"

"Aren't you staring at him too?" Yang Jian smiled, and let go of Li Bai. I don't know if the smile had cooled down, but he walked straight towards the man, and Li Bai could no longer see the expression on his face.The boss greeted him behind him, but Li Bai stepped up to follow him as if he didn't hear him. Before he had taken a few steps, the man with the flower arm turned away, plunged back into the group of friends and began to haggle loudly, holding a pipe on the back of his hand. Behind him, he didn't turn his head back.

Yang Jian also turned around, and was facing Li Bai face to face, his smile was still there.

"Look, I don't mean anything malicious." He took Li Bai's shoulder back again.

"Brother, you are so kind." Li Bai rubbed against his neck and sniffed it at the same time, just like a puppy coquettishly.His hand was still in the bag, but the handle of the knife he was holding tightly was released.He felt that Yang Jian's actions just now were tantamount to standing out for him. He was not happy seeing him, and Yang Jian was also not happy. Moreover, Yang Jian was not afraid of anything and dared to touch anything head-on. He didn't think his knife was a joke. He is the happiest.

In the end, the bill was 62 yuan, and Yang Jian still had the bulk of his [-] yuan budget left, as well as the male protagonist's costume and earrings.These odds and ends had to go deeper to find them. The two of them were carrying two big bags. Just a few steps away from the women's clothing booth, they heard someone calling from behind: "Xiao Wang? Is that you?"

His voice was a bit rough, but it was intentionally high-pitched. Li Bai turned his head, and after a few steps away, it turned out to be a man disguised as a woman.He is very thin and young, wearing a dark curly wig, long and straight legs exposed under a suspender skirt, but the fact that he is a man cannot escape Li Bai's eyes.Perhaps due to professional reasons, Li Bai's eyes have always been very accurate in this regard. It is still very unrealistic for a man to insist on showing the feeling of a woman without revealing any flaws.

But Yang Jian responded, "Xiaomi? Long time no see!"

"Yeah, yeah, are you busy lately? It's been a year or two, and I thought you'd never come again," Xiaomi stepped on her high-heeled shoes and approached, holding a small pearly satchel in the shape of a shell in both hands, very excited. Laid out in front of his lower abdomen, he smiled softly and greeted Li Bai, "Hello, are you Xiao Wang's friend? I am also Xiao Wang's friend. Every time the market opens, I have to go shopping. It was Xiao Wang who helped me get rid of the hooligan bullying, so he is still my benefactor!"

It could be seen that he was extremely nervous. After finishing speaking, realizing the abruptness of his series of words, he smiled mischievously again.

"Hello." Li Bai said coldly, and then there was no further text.

"Then I'll be leaving first, I want to pick out some skirts," Xiaomi waved her hands carefully, her nails shining brightly under the dim light, "You are busy, you are busy."

"Goodbye!" Yang Jian was hearty.

"Why is he being bullied?" Turning the direction and continuing to go deeper, Li Bai touched Yang Jian's waist with his elbow, and asked, "At least 1.8 meters, not shorter than you, I really treat myself like a little girl." Weakness needs protection."

"I can't remember clearly, it seems that I was harassed?" Yang Jian observed Li Bai's expression with great interest, "When I was a freshman, I had few classes, and I liked to come here for a stroll, just like visiting a hospital to see other people's work. How to live, relax your body and mind. There are many people like him in this area, he seems to be a civil servant during the day, and he only dares to come out in the middle of the night to wear skirts and buy some skirts, which is quite pitiful."

"Oh——" Li Bai dragged out a long ending, leaning his head heavily on his shoulders, and raising his legs high as if he was kicking forward, "Anyway, Brother Yang is willing to help others. Name, the big sister who is a civil servant misses you every day, why do you call you Xiao Wang?"

Yang Jian smelled the smell of vinegar getting stronger and stronger, and a lot of jewelry stalls were approaching. He slid over Li Bai's satchel, and accurately touched the other hand that was clutched on the handle of the knife, "Okay, He took out this hand and spread it out, seeing that it was holding a red, sweaty palm, "It's just a chance meeting, you don't need to practice your grip, and I don't need to say my real name."
