A Certain Someone

Old man Ding has an elderly mobile phone with fonts as big as a copper bell.It is said that Jiang Tian wanted to buy him a normal smartphone at the beginning, and promised to teach him how to do it patiently.But the old man didn't want to live or die, saying that he was old and dim-sighted, and he couldn't see a word on the screens of those smart phones.

The old man was a bear, and he threatened to sell it back if he bought it. He could really do this, so Jiang Tian couldn't resist, so he had to buy a special offer from the old man.The old man liked the things that the children didn't like very much, and never left him after he got them.

Jiang Tian is awkward, the old man likes to tease him, he often shows off to others, saying that Xiao Tian bought it for me, so of course he also showed off to Sheng Wang.At that time, Jiang Tian was sitting next to him eating, the more he ate, the more paralyzed his face became, and finally he stuffed a big chicken leg into the old man's bowl and said, "Don't talk when you eat."

The old man was about to whip him with his chopsticks in his hand, saying that he had no bad temper, Sheng Wang died laughing beside him.

The family number can be set on the old man's phone, which is convenient and also in case of emergency.Jiang Tian took the No. 1 position, and the old man said that was enough.Later, Jiang Tian greeted Xi Le and added Boss Zhao's to it.After Sheng Wang came, he moved a little bit, he occupied No. 2, and Boss Zhao changed it to No. 3.

But under normal circumstances, old man Ding still only called Jiang Tian, ​​so Sheng Wang was a little surprised when he received the call.

The old man said: "Ji Huanyu has come to bother me again, you take Xiao Tian to eat somewhere else, don't let him come."

This is very strange, Sheng Wang was a little puzzled: "Grandpa, do you mean not to tell him that Ji Huanyu is here?"

"Nonsense, otherwise I'll call him directly." The old man said angrily.

Old man Ding's lying on the phone is always very obvious. He is afraid of being asked, so his tone will be deliberately suppressed, and he will hang up immediately without giving anyone a chance to speak.

Not to mention Jiang Tian, ​​even Sheng Wang could tell the difference clearly.

Shengwang let out an "oh".

The old man said again: "I'm afraid he'll feel bad again when he hears Ji Huanyu's name."

This is true, Sheng Wang has seen Jiang Tian change his face.Jiang Ou also mentioned it back then, and his mood became visibly worse.

This is actually a bit strange, Sheng Wang has never figured it out.

He couldn't help asking: "Grandpa, why does Jiang Tian bother him so much?"

Old man Ding didn't understand what he meant at first, so he took it for granted, "Ji Huanyu is not a thing. Is there any difference between me with him and me without him? It's normal to bother him."

"No, I know." Sheng Wang said after deliberation: "But if you want to take care of less, I heard what you said, grandpa, in fact..."

In fact, Jiang Ou and Ji Huanyu are very different, and they both neglected to take care of Jiang Tian when he was a child.The difference is that Jiang Ou is forced to do so, while Ji Huanyu is by nature.

But Jiang Tian's attitude was completely different.Although he is not as close to Jiang Ou as an ordinary mother and child, but at least he is protective, caring and soft-hearted.But Ji Huanyu was extremely repulsed, and he didn't even want to take a second look or say a word.

Hearing old man Ding talk about Jiang Tian's childhood, Sheng Wang doubted whether Ji Huanyu would beat him, but later felt wrong, because Jiang Tian was not afraid of Ji Huanyu at all.

When father and son appeared together, Ji Huanyu was more careful.That kind of caution is not on the surface, but... He seems to be very afraid that any words will poke Jiang Tian's minefield.On the contrary, Jiang Tian was not afraid of him, not at all, only bored.

To put it more seriously, it is disgust.

Old man Ding couldn't explain clearly on the other end of the phone. After all, he hadn't been in Jiangtian's house in those years, so he didn't know exactly what kind of rift the father and son had.Like Sheng Wang, he relies on guesswork.

But Jiang Tian is too difficult to guess...

Sheng Wang thought to himself.

"Then why did he go to your place?" Sheng Wang asked.

Old man Ding snorted and said, "What else can I do? Knowing that Xiao Tian doesn't dislike me as an old man and is closer to me, come and find me as a lobbyist. Maybe I think I am old and confused, easy to deceive, and others are ignorant. If he pretends like a dog, I think he is a good thing. Maybe he thinks that if he respects me, Xiao Tian will not bother him so much."

Sheng Wang thinks it's ridiculous, a real father who lives so long that he has to show filial piety to his old neighbors to get closer to his son is considered a talent.

"What kind of lobbyist did he ask you to be?"

"A lobbyist for reconciliation." Old man Ding sighed: "I'm a wandering 40-year-old, and I suddenly remembered that I have a son, and I want to resolve the conflict with Xiaotian, okay?"

"Didn't he be abroad before?" Sheng Wang said.

"Yes, I heard that his classmate or friend had a serious illness. I don't know if it's cancer or something. He must be a little scared when he thinks about it. People, at this age, it's like this. It's easy to think about things, young At the time, it didn’t matter what that was, but now I’m starting to regret it. When I saw someone else getting sick, I thought I’d be like this one day, and if I didn’t even have someone close to me, it would be miserable.”

But Jiang Tian had no close people in front of him when he was a child.

Sheng Wang retorted in his heart.

The old man smacked his lips and complained dissatisfiedly: "It's just a matter of raising a cat or a dog, and getting along to cultivate a relationship. He is fine. After so many years, I don't know how annoying Xiao Tian is to him? I hope he will be fine after a few hippie smiles. What kind of dream did you have? I still want to take it abroad, huh—”

The old man snorted coldly and said, "I'm the first to say no!"

Until he hung up the phone, the phrase "I still want to take him abroad" echoed in Sheng Wang's mind. Although he knew that Jiang Tian didn't talk to Ji Huanyu at all, he still cared a little bit.

Dinner this day was in the cafeteria.

Thanks to Gao Tianyang, this melon skin walked too unruly when entering the cafeteria, accidentally stepped on the cleaning cloth towel that the cafeteria aunt had foamed, fell to the ground and slid several meters.

All the students who followed him laughed out loud.

Sheng Wang was still a little bored at first, but he couldn't help it now. He bent down and laughed for a long time before he realized that he habitually draped Jiang Tian's shoulders, and Jiang Tian was also laughing.

Gao Tianyang sat on the ground and rolled his eyes, then passed out his hand and said, "Laughing at your grandma, can someone help me? At least it provides a little short-term happiness for your depressive life. I'm really not sensible at all!"

Song Sirui staggered from laughing, Sheng Wang went over to give him a hand, and everyone rushed to help him up.

"Hey, are my pants wet?" Gao Tianyang turned his head to look behind him.

"It's okay, I don't urinate much." Song Sirui said.

"Fuck me, I took off your pants and changed them, believe it or not?" Gao Tianyang said angrily.

"I don't believe you, you can't wear it."

"I--"

Gao Tianyang was so aggrieved that he covered his butt and sat down with everyone.He said: "Brother Sheng, I know you are a nice person. I want to eat the sweet and sour pork ribs, curry beef brisket and spicy chicken at window 8. Can you get them for me? If I don't eat them, I will die of pain here today."

"???"

Sheng Wang turned his head to look at the long queue that had turned two corners and reached the entrance of the cafeteria, and asked in disbelief, "Why do I like you so much?"

Gao Tianyang blew him a kiss and said, "I'm so charming."

As soon as he finished speaking, the campus card in his hand was taken away.

Jiang Tian held his card between two fingers, shook it at him, and asked calmly: "I'll buy it, tell me what you want to eat again."

Gao Tianyang: "..."

He said: "I want to eat the small green vegetables, steamed eggs and pork chops from window 3."

Jiang Tian said, "Wait."

Everyone laughed again.

Except for the most popular window No. 8, there are actually quite a few other windows.Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian were at the end of the No. 3 window, and Song Sirui and the others followed happily.

The team is not crowded, but the presence of the people behind is still very strong.Sheng Wang pinched the corner of his school card and unconsciously fanned the wind, when he suddenly heard Jiang Tian ask, "Are you hot?"

"..."

Really good at chatting.

Sheng Wang paused, and stuffed the campus card into his pocket, that person's sense of existence became stronger.

"Is the teacher's lecture okay?" Jiang Tian's low voice sounded again, very calm, not as sharp and cutting as before outside Wutong.

"Very good." Sheng Wang replied.

After he finished speaking, he felt that the answer was a bit dry, and added: "It's a bit simple, but it's not bad."

After a while, he heard Jiang Tian's answer: "Yes."

The time for a meal is actually very fast. Gao Tianyang and the others belong to the group of gobblers, and no matter how gentle Sheng Wang is, he cannot delay it for too long.

They went back to Mingli Building and parted ways at the stairs on the third floor.When Sheng Wang stepped into the classroom of Class B, he felt his heart slowly sinking again, like a hot air balloon that had finished burning.

Only then did he realize how happy he was just now.

He was happy for a short while, and then he would spend the whole evening study time or even longer to cool himself down.

Five minutes for five hours, one hour for a whole day, and every day after that is the same process, and the cycle repeats.

Unknowingly, his meal time is getting shorter and shorter, and the time to return to the dormitory after self-study is getting later and later.

In the whole grade, only Class A has the privilege to stay in their own classroom for self-study.Students in other classes have to go to the lecture theater together.

At first Sheng Wang left with his schoolbag, and most of the people in the classroom were packing up, but the next day it became half, then there were only a few here and there, and finally he was the only one left.

When he returned to the dormitory, it was often not far from lights-out.If you can't say a few words, the whole dormitory will be silent with the lights turned off.

He would close his eyes and listen to the movement of the lower berth, toss and turn a few times, and then fall asleep unconsciously.

Although he kept telling himself that he didn't want to have a cold war or alienation with Jiang Tian, ​​he just struggled with himself briefly.

But this is almost a doomed process, even though he doesn't want to admit it, he and Jiang Tian are inevitably going in two directions.

The weekly exam of the attached high school this week was temporarily canceled due to the high-quality courses offered by famous teachers in the city. In the second year of high school, a few classes were selected to record lessons on Saturdays and Sundays, and the other classes were self-study normally.

Sheng Wang took out a bunch of question banks as usual, from the time he opened his eyes until nightfall.When he entered the lecture theater with a new English competition course in his arms, Shi Yu finally couldn't hold back and said, "Damn it, is this the third book?"

"What third book?" Sheng Wang sat down in the corner at the back, and said while pulling out a book.

"This week, I see that you have completed two such thick competition question banks. This is the third book. Aren't you tired?" Shi Yuguang felt a headache looking at it.

Sheng Wang was stunned for a moment, and said, "Is there?"

"Don't you know how many questions you have done?"

"Not paying much attention."

Not only did he not pay much attention, he didn't even pick the quality of the question bank, as long as there was something that could fill his free time, the busier the better.

The corner of Shi Yu's mouth twitched, and he gave him a thumbs up.Because Shengwang has been terrible lately, he was a little embarrassed to chat on WeChat while sitting next to him, and for no reason these days he just followed up with the questions.

It's scary to say that he's finished half of the book, and he's worked harder than ever before.

"If the weekly exam is not cancelled, I feel that I can get a few places higher." He said half proudly and half modestly, but unfortunately he didn't get any reply.

Sheng Wang had already plugged in his earphones and began to ask questions.

He looked at it for a while, and felt that the other party's state was very strange.It seems to be very focused, but also seems to be absent-minded.

……

The bell for the evening self-study get out of class rang on time, and Shi Yu and Qiu Wenbin both packed their schoolbags. They were used to Sheng Wang's late return, so they greeted him and went back to the dormitory first.

The huge classroom slowly became empty again.

A very old English song happened to be cut into the earphones, and the singer's hoarse voice was low and gentle.Sheng Wang was stunned for a moment, remembering that this song was picked up from Jiang Tian's playlist.

Perhaps it was a coincidence that every time I cut to this song before, it was during the daytime, and the surroundings were noisy, making it too dull and quiet.It wasn't until this moment that I realized that it actually sounds really good.

Sheng Wang sat for a while, scribbled a few words, and finally stopped writing again.Suddenly there was a human voice outside the window. Two boys dribbled the basketball while scrambling for it.

A passing teacher yelled angrily, and the two of them ran away obediently holding the ball, and they could still hear laughing after a long distance.

Sheng Wang looked away, suddenly took off his earphones and hurriedly put away his pencil case and books.He didn't know what happened to him, but at this moment, he suddenly wanted to go back.

So he threw his backpack over his shoulder and strode towards the dormitory building.

It was 6:10 when Sheng Wang reached the sixth floor, which was much earlier than the previous few days.When he opened the dormitory door, he met the surprised eyes of his roommate.

Qiu Wenbin asked suspiciously: "What's the matter, Brother Sheng, why are you running in such a hurry?"

Shi Yu said, "So early today?"

However, Sheng Wang didn't return any of them. He glanced over the lower bunk, the desk, and even the washstand and bathroom, but he didn't see another person.

He held the door and took a breath, put his schoolbag on the table, and asked innocently, "Where's Jiang Tian?"

"Didn't come back." Qiu Wenbin said, "Didn't he not come back until 11 o'clock?"

Sheng Wang was stunned for a moment.

Qiu Wenbin reacted again and said: "Oh yes, you were a minute or two behind him before, it's normal if you don't know."

At that moment, it was difficult for Sheng Wang to describe his mood.He was stunned for a few seconds, feeling his heart being pricked lightly or heavily.

From some day on, he didn't know Jiang Tian's routine anymore.

"He..." Because of running, his voice was a little hoarse.After a pause, he said, "Why is he so late, is he working hard?"

"I don't know, seems to be preparing for a competition?" Qiu Wenbin said honestly, "Look at what he has been copying recently, it seems to be notes and questions."

Sheng Wang nodded.

He stood by the table for a while, feeling a little dull again.After turning around twice, he held up his collar and said, "I went to the balcony to get some wind, and when I came back, I was crazy hot."

"Oh." Qiu Wenbin said: "Watch the time, Brother Sheng, the lights will be turned off in a while."

"know."

There is a pool on the balcony, which can be used to wash large clothes and bedding, and there is also a dormitory that can be used to rinse mops and fetch water.

Sheng Wang closed the balcony door and fanned it, then sat down by the edge of the pool, leaning on the white porcelain countertop and hanging his head.

He was too tired from running, he wanted to take a break, he needed to take a breather.

After a long time, he heard vague voices in the dormitory, and after a while, the balcony door clicked, and someone walked in.

Sheng Wang lowered his head.He knew who it was, but he couldn't get up the energy to laugh for a while, he was a little uncomfortable.

Obviously there is no reason.

Jiang Tian didn't ask him what was wrong, nor why he was sitting here.

The balcony was very quiet, he just stood in front of Sheng Wang, probably looking down at him as before.

After a long time, Sheng Wang pursed his lips, changed his expression and raised his head to try to make a joke: "I'm here to ventilate, why did you come here to block it?"

After speaking, he saw Jiang Tian holding a thick leather-bound notebook in his hand.

"I've been holding back for a long time." Jiang Tian said as he put the thick book by his hand, tapped the cover with his fingertips and said, "It's for you."

"What?" Sheng Wang froze for a moment.He picked up the book and flipped through two pages, but he couldn't move it.

He had seen this kind of thing before. When he was bored and moldy at home with sprained feet, Jiang Tian flipped through different books and sorted out a bunch of interesting questions for him.

That was the case, with the title of the book marked, the number of pages and the title number marked, and it was written clearly where the title was in particular and why it was suitable to be picked out.

But this time it was a little different, the things in the book in front of him were more detailed.He didn't need to rummage through them, those topics were all cut out, and pasted flatly in the notebook one by one, classified into categories, and marked with special features and advantages beside them.

In the second half of the book, there are corresponding answer analysis, corresponding to each item.

Jiang Tian said: "You said that the teacher didn't dig deep enough, adding these should be enough."

They were all picked out by him one by one, including mathematics, physics and chemistry.To what extent he can learn, Shengwang can also do it, I don't know if it can be regarded as a simple gift.

He doesn't take anything from others, he just gives.He will only pick and choose on himself, and take out what he can to give to the people he cares about.

Sheng Wang said that he failed the exam, so he went to study.Sheng Wang said that what the teacher said was too simple, so he would make up for it.

It was the most practical thing he could think of.

and so……

Jiang Tian looked at him and asked, "Can I pass the exam?"
