A Certain Someone

The car stopped at the entrance of Baima Alley.

Jiang Tian paid the money and got out of the car first, but Sheng Wang didn't come out for a long time.He walked around to the other side only to find that the ancestor was holding a bag of medicine and was sitting quietly waiting for someone to open the door, as if he was used to it by the driver.

Jiang Tian opened the door angrily, and he stretched out a leg politely, smiled politely and said, "Thank you."

He had a schoolbag on one shoulder and medicine in his hand, so it was not very convenient to get out of the car.

Holding on to the car door, Jiang Tian couldn't stand it any longer, and stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the medicine."

Sheng Wang said very politely: "No."

Jiang Tian: "..."

He had no choice but to change his proposal: "Schoolbag on both shoulders."

Sheng Wang said, "Ugly."

Jiang Tian was convinced.

Sheng Wang stubbornly maintained the posture of carrying the bag on one shoulder and holding the medicine in one hand, got out of the car and walked deep into the alley on his own.He is not as clumsy as other drunks, and if some girls in the attached middle school see him, he may have to blush and say something pleasing to the eye.

... just kind of lonely.

For a moment, Jiang Tian suspected that this person was not very drunk, but was just taking advantage of the alcohol to play tricks, if he was really drunk, how could he pay so much attention to his image.

As a result, Sheng Wang, who had already walked away, suddenly looked back at him, and then retreated back the same way.

Jiang Tian thought that the other party was waiting for him to go with him.Who knows that Sheng Wang raised his chin at him and said, "Where's your cell phone?"

"what?"

"Take it out and take a picture."

"Shooting what?" Jiang Tian frowned in confusion, but still put his hand into his trouser pocket, and hesitantly took out his mobile phone.

He swiped the screen, and the interface changed to a camera.

In the camera, Sheng Wang stands under the street lamp, his shadow is stretched very long by the light.He kicked the uneven ground with his toes and said, "This broken road is full of potholes, but I walked straight just now, did you see that?"

It may be that the hoarse nasal voice unique to colds is too deceiving, Jiang Tian put on a cold face of "I don't want to talk to you", and said silently for a moment: "I see."

After speaking, he turned around to confirm——

Thankfully, the driver who brought them back had long since left, and he and Sheng Wang were the only two in the whole alley, and no one else heard this silly conversation.

"What's the use of seeing." The leader said again, "Take a picture."

"..."

Jiang Tian looked at him silently for a long while, then dialed the camera mode with his thumb, and said softly, "I believe you are really drunk."

The distance from the entrance of the alley to the Sheng family's ancestral house is only 300 meters. They walked for 20 minutes, and someone went back and forth three times. Jiang Tian spent half his life's patience here.

The movement of them entering the yard was a bit loud, and the people in the house should have heard it.Soon the door opened, and Jiang Ou leaned out wearing a knitted sweater: "Finally back, why are you two so late, I thought——what are you doing with your phone?"

"Who knows." Jiang Tian mocked, and put his phone back in his trouser pocket.

He was invited to film the whole process, now that there is one more person, he really can't afford to lose face.

"Come in quickly, why did you come back together? I heard from Xiao Chen that Xiao Wang went to have dinner with his classmates." Jiang Ou stepped sideways to make way, and Jiang Tian and Sheng Wang entered the door one after the other.

Although Sheng Wang was very steady in every move, except for a shake when he squatted down to change his shoes, there was basically no major problem.But Jiang Ou smelled something wrong immediately, she turned her head to stare at Jiang Tian and asked in a low voice, "Did you take him to drink?"

"Is it possible?" Jiang Tian said.

"That's right." Jiang Ou knew his son very well, and he didn't even have to show up for that kind of dinner, so how could he fight for wine there with great hope, "Did he drink it himself?"

"Ah."

Sheng Wang squatted down to untie his shoelaces, his fingers were clean and thin, he couldn't see the clumsiness of a drunk, but seemed too slow.The plastic bag containing the medicine was placed at his feet, and Jiang Tian bent down to get it, but he was about to cover it with his blind hands.

"I'll get something." Jiang Tian said.

Sheng Wang looked up at him.Maybe it was because the distance was too close, he only glanced at it and then lowered his eyes, said "Oh", and moved half of his hand away.

Jiang Tian dug out two small dark green round jars from his bag, straightened up and handed them to Jiang Ou.

When she was burned before, Aunt Sun wiped this on her. She was so impressed that she recognized it at a glance.She stared at the small round jar for a while, then raised her head and said softly, "I bought it specially?"

Jiang Tian supported the door frame to change his shoes, without raising his head, he said, "By the way."

"Tough mouth." Jiang Ou muttered, and then looked at Shengwang worriedly: "Speaking of medicine, I told him that he must have caught a cold when I went out in the morning. Listen to his nasal voice. I found medicine, but he You can't eat now after drinking so much."

"Forget it." Jiang Tian glanced at Sheng Wang and said, "We'll talk about it when we sober up."

Sheng Wangju stood up pulling on the slippers, not forgetting to take the bag.Seeing the name of the Lieutenant Colonel Hospital attached to the bag, Jiang Ou asked Jiang Tian in surprise, "Did you buy it for him?"

"He bought it himself."

Jiang Tian lifted his schoolbag strap and was about to go upstairs.

"Eh? Don't run away." Jiang Ou didn't ask him carefully, just grabbed him and said, "Take Xiao Wang to sit on the sofa for a while, and I'll make a glass of honey water."

The things in the kitchen were all arranged by Aunt Sun. Jiang Ou has not been here for a long time, and he is not used to it yet.She subconsciously opened the leftmost cabinet door and reached for the honey bottle, only to find that there were idle induction cooker and pots in the cabinet.

She was stunned for a moment, then stood in front of the cabinet for a long time.

In fact, she can understand Jiang Tian's various discomforts, because even she herself has not fully adapted to this place.She met Ji Huanyu at the age of 15, stayed with him at the age of 18, got married at the age of 22, divorced at the age of 34, and then moved out of the place where she lived for a long time after another 6 years.

How could it be possible to change the living habits of so many years.

But she is actually very lucky, the divorce is only because of disagreement, so it will not hurt her muscles and bones.Jiang Tian was so stable that no one had to worry about it, Sheng Mingyang respected her a lot, and even Ji Huanyu was still fulfilling his obligations as a biological father.

At least these 40 years she has not lived in vain.

Jiang Ou looked around in the kitchen, only then remembered that Aunt Sun had mentioned that she put honey on top of the refrigerator.

There is water hanging in the kitchen. She set the temperature and kept it at 40°C. It was originally reserved for Sheng Wang to take medicine.She made a glass, stirred it with a long-handled spoon, and walked toward the living room.

The overhead light in the living room was not turned on, only the floor lamp by the sofa was on, and the warm light was shining around, and the two boys were sitting under the lamp.

Jiang Tian bent his long legs, his knees were far higher than the sofa and coffee table.He bowed and took out a book from the schoolbag beside his legs, flipping through it boredly, the front of the wide school uniform drooped, revealing the T-shirt inside.

Sheng Wang was sitting next to him, separated by half a person's distance, whether it was far or near.

He was cross-legged, with a casually brought pillow on his knees, with one hand resting on the pillow to support his head, while the other hand was idly grabbing a corner of the pillow.

He looked at the void somewhere between the kitchen and the balcony, and was in a daze.

Since they moved in, it was the first time Shengwang was so relaxed in front of people.

Jiang Ou is very self-aware, she knows that this kind of relaxation is definitely not because of herself, it is more like a subconscious habit——

Sheng Wang is used to sitting cross-legged in the corner of the sofa like this, waiting for someone for a long time.

Jiang Ou paused, suddenly wondering whether he should walk over or not.

It was Jiang Tian who glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and raised his head.

He lowered his hand holding the book and asked, "Are you ready?"

"Yeah." Jiang Ou raised his foot again, and walked over while stirring the honey water.

The long handle key knocked on the side of the glass, making a light jingle.Sheng Wang finally came to his senses from the long sitting, the moment he turned his face, his eyes were red.

Even Jiang Tian was a little taken aback.

"Xiao Wang?" Jiang Ou called softly.

Sheng Wang hastily lowered his eyes.He put on his slippers, carried his schoolbag and the bag of medicine and muttered, "I'm sleepy, so I'll go up first."

"Eh?" Before Jiang Ou had time to say anything, he had already climbed the stairs, the sound of footsteps flickered into the room, and then the door lock clicked, and there was no movement.

Jiang Ou held the cup, and sighed after a while: "I guess I miss my mother."

After a while, Jiang Tian looked away from the stairs, his lips moved, but he didn't say anything.

"But you still have to drink honey water. If you don't know how to hangover, he will feel uncomfortable when he wakes up tomorrow morning." Jiang Ou muttered, "Why don't I get it for him."

But she hesitated again.

Boys at this age are very concerned about their own space and always try to separate themselves from their elders.You can't enter the door at will, and you can't touch things casually. There are two separate worlds upstairs and downstairs.

She was worrying when the cup in her hand was taken away.

Jiang Tian held the glass and put his schoolbag on his shoulder: "I'll give it to him, you go to bed."

Sheng Wang changed the place to put it on.

He sat on the bed, staring at the open schoolbag and the plastic bag of medicine for a long time, unable to remember what he was going to do.

Just when he was crossed until his legs became numb, something vibrated against his legs.

Sheng Wang digested it for a while, then took out the phone from his pocket.

There is a new message on WeChat.

Jiang Tian:.

Sheng Wang pressed the send button, and said lazily: Why——

He suspected that the other party was confirming whether he was alive.

Soon, the next message came again.

Jiang Tian: Is the door locked?

Canned: "No—"

Jiang Tian: Then I will enter.

Sheng Wang: "?"

He stared at the chat interface, but before he could react, he heard someone knock on the bedroom door, unlock it and come in.

This should be Jiang Tian's first time entering this bedroom, but he didn't look around, nor was he curious about the layout of the room, he just went straight to the bed and put the glass on the bedside table.

"Drink this." Jiang Tian said.

Maybe it's because it's too quiet around late at night, maybe it's because it's so close.His voice is very low, but he can clearly hear the light rolling grains in the timbre.

Sheng Wang rubbed his right ear and said, "Oh, drink it later."

As a result, Jiang Tian didn't leave.

Sheng Wang confronted him for a while, because he was sleepy due to the eyelid fight, and lost the battle unilaterally.He took the glass and poured it down obediently.

"What kind of water is this? It's too sweet." After drinking it, he remembered his disgust.

"Wash the pot of water to hangover." Jiang Tian replied.

Sheng Wang: "?"

"Forget it." Jiang Tian stretched out his hand and said, "Give me the cup."

"No." Sheng Wang passed his hand, grabbed the cup and frowned, "Wait a minute, I still have something to do."

"what?"

"I don't know, I haven't remembered it after thinking about it for a long time."

"..."

Sheng Wang kept this posture and pondered for a long time, out of his corner of the eye, Jiang Tian retracted his outstretched hand, resting on the back of the chair by the table, waiting for him with little patience.

Sheng Wang suddenly let out a soft "Oh" and said, "I remembered."

"Say." Jiang Tian raised his chin.

"Did you have something to say in the car before?"

"Is there?" Jiang Tian said.

There was no expression on his face, and he couldn't tell if he didn't remember, but he asked deliberately.

"Yes." The drunk man's brain is very good at this time, and he can repeat the details: "I said that others thought we were very familiar, but in fact we didn't speak a few words at all. You said something that was true, and then it was gone."

Sheng Wang rested his elbows on his knees, and the cup was so loosely held by his fingertips.He looked at Jiang Tian, ​​his eyes were covered with the light of the desk lamp, which gave people the illusion that he was not drunk.

"What actually?" he asked.

Jiang Tian tapped twice with his fingers propped on the back of the chair, and he lowered his eyes, as if thinking about it.

It took him a while before he said, "I said you can actually try."

"try what?"

"Try to be more familiar."
