A Certain Someone

"Jiang Tian knows?!" Sheng Wang was stunned.

Zhao Xi nodded: "Yes."

Sheng Wangshu turned away.He bent down to pick up the book in a daze for a long time, and asked again in disbelief: "Jiang Tian knows?"

Zhao Xi: "..."

He couldn't help laughing: "I didn't see you drop a book when I was talking to you, what book is dropping now?"

Sheng Wang didn't answer, but was really stunned for a long, long time.

All kinds of previous scenes flashed through his mind quickly, involving two people, four people, or a group of people.In the end, they settled on the same sentence - more than one person said that he and Jiang Tian were very similar to Zhao Xi and Lin Beiting.He does not mean that.Sheng Wang has heard it countless times, and every time, Jiang Tian is almost by his side.

So how could he possibly know?

impossible.

Sheng Wang thought blankly.

impossible……

Otherwise, how could he have listened to it so many times, but never refuted it once?

"How is it impossible?" Zhao Xi suddenly said, Sheng Wang looked at him, and then realized that he had said impossible.

"Isn't it normal for Jiang Tian to know? I have known him for many years." Zhao Xi said with emotion: "When I was in high school, he was still young. Not to mention that I didn't feel it, but now that I mention it, I have actually met him. When you were that young? It was amazing."

He talked about everything with a smile, whether it was he and Lin Beiting or he and Jiang Tian, ​​they seemed to be chatting.But the more he talked, the more confused Sheng Wang became.

Yes, Jiang Tian lived outside Wutong since he was a child, and Zhao Xi is also from here. They have known each other for so many years and still have such a good relationship, knowing that it is nothing more than normal.

However, if he knew about the relationship between Zhao Xi and Lin Beiting, what would he be thinking every time he heard those words about their resemblance?

And why is he always so silent?

Sheng Wang thought: Is it because I am afraid that I will not be able to step down if I refute it?still is……

The content behind "still" is too absurd, he knows he shouldn't think about it, but he can't help but think about it.So the heart that sank to the bottom floated up gently in that vague thought.

He suddenly felt that he was quite hypocritical—he kept telling himself "that's my brother", but in the end, as long as he thought of the absurd possibility of one in a billion, he couldn't help but become happy, even though this possibility Sex is negligibly small, and will never be verified.

He stared at a certain point in the void for a long time, and then asked Zhao Xi: "Brother Xi, did he know it when he was very young?"

"You mean Jiang Tian?"

"Ah."

Zhao Xi recalled for a moment, and said: "He didn't know when I was with Lin Zi, he was too young at that time, about five or six years old. I often helped my dad deliver things to the dumb uncle, and he was always dumbfounded." It's at Old Man Ding's house across the street."

"It seems that his surname is not Ding." Sheng Wang said.

"Yes, but I guess not many people know what the old man's last name is, and he rarely mentions it." Zhao Xi raised one corner of his mouth and let out a smirk, "I came up with the old man Ding's nickname. The children of the younger generation plagiarized, and the rest of the generation will call it that."

"They're all called that? Then it's the first time I call him Grandpa Ding, and his eyes are so big?"

"I'm just trying to scare you. The old man has a big temper, but he's a nice guy."

Zhao Xi was sitting at Jiang Tian's table, and he took a ruler out of his pen bag and played with it in his hand: "Jiang Tian often read in the old man's yard at that time, and he was very stubborn when he was young. The boy must be very proud when he grows up, and he must also be bored."

"I was quite wild at the time, and I had no patience. Sometimes I would leave after teasing him, and sometimes I would chat with him for a while. At first he ignored me, but when I came across a book I couldn't understand, I just went over there. He showed off for a while. He may have never seen a little hooligan who likes to read. He was quite novel, so he reluctantly talked to me. Later, I got to know him slowly, and I brought Lin Zi to him. Lin Zi was famous in middle school. The school bully doesn't have a good face all day, he sits face to face with Jiang Tian, ​​that scene is really funny."

Sheng Wang thought of Jiang Tian that old man Ding was talking about, and the two years that Zhao Xi mentioned were when he was rejected by his grandmother.With his awkward personality, being able to get acquainted with Zhao Xi and Lin Beiting on the surface will only take him more seriously in his heart.That was probably one of the few friends he had at that time.

"Jiang Tian didn't know about it at that time. It was university later, right? I can't remember the exact age. Once I came back from a vacation to pack my things. I wanted to find some suitable books for Jiang Tian to read, but I found a lot of old things. Among them are two Polaroid photos, which happened to be caught in an old book." Zhao Xi thought about it for a while, then smiled and said: "I was no longer with Lin Zi at that time, and I was a little confused when I saw the photos suddenly. Put it away, and Jiang Tian saw it."

Seeing Shengwang's puzzled expression, he added: "The photos are about the same level as the ones you saw that day."

Sheng Wang said "Oh" in embarrassment, expressing his understanding.

Zhao Xi raised his eyebrows. This bastard is worthy of being a school bully. As the person involved, he was not embarrassed at all, and said: "Jiang Tian was not very old at that time, probably less than 10 years old. I thought he would not understand at all. , I didn’t expect that kid’s reaction to be particularly strong.”

"Great reaction?" Sheng Wang didn't understand for a while.

Zhao Xi thought for a while and said, "Special, very repulsive."

Sheng Wang was stunned.

That one-in-ten-thousandth absurdity may suddenly disappear in Zhao Xi's words, like a punctured balloon, after bursting, only a few fragments slowly fall down, silently falling to the ground.

After an unknown amount of time, he asked softly, "Very...repulsive?"

"Well, he left without even taking the book." Zhao Xi said, "He was young at that time, unlike now, no matter how tense he is, his face can still see it. I can see that he is polite. Trying to bear it, but I can also tell he feels very…”

He frowned and thought about his words, Shengwang once doubted that he would say the word "disgusting", but he finally said "uncomfortable".

Zhao Xi said that Jiang Tian looked very uncomfortable at the time.

"That's why I said your reaction today surprised me." Zhao Xi looked at Sheng Wang with light brown eyes, flicking the ruler back and forth in his hand, "It's very different from Jiang Tian. But his kind is rare, Most of the people who knew about it, their reactions at the time were somewhere in between the two of you."

Sheng Wang lowered his gaze, smiled half self-deprecatingly and half cooperatively, and said, "Really, then we are really brothers, we have both extremes."

"It's quite extreme. At that time, I was made to doubt life by that kid." Zhao Xi said jokingly, "After he left, I introspected for a day and wondered what happened? Is it so difficult to accept?"

"Then what happened next?" Sheng Wang asked.

"Later? Then I thought that the kid was in trouble, so why should I coax him and let him go. As a result, within two days, I went to talk to him honestly." Zhao Xi lifted his chin, " It's like I'm talking to you now, but it's not so easy. He's bored and doesn't say anything, and I don't know if my chat is effective."

"At that time, I wondered if he had some psychological shadow. Later, I found out that he might have encountered something."

Sheng Wang suddenly raised his eyes, but Zhao Xi didn't intend to say deeply: "I guessed, I won't tell you about things that have no basis. Anyway, I tried my best at the beginning and talked to him many times. It didn't take long after that He moved away from here, and I also went abroad. There are also contacts, but not many. Later, after a year or so, I went back to China for the summer vacation. He came to Wutongwai a few times. Old man Ding finally took the initiative to find me, and apologized to me awkwardly, and I knew he had figured it out."

He figured it out.

These four words are an understatement, but Zhao Xi knows that for a person with Jiang Tian's personality, spending nearly two years to reverse a certain inherent cognition must inevitably involve seesaw and struggle.

It was also from that day that he realized that for Jiang Tian, ​​he and Lin Beiting were really important friends.

"I always say he's a bit too old. Actually, he's not. He's as proud as I used to be, and he doesn't deserve a fight a lot of the time. Just rely on that face." Zhao Xi tutted his tongue twice. Then he said in a low voice: "But he is very rational. Not to mention people of his age, people much older than him may not be able to figure this out. He will not spread the problems of a certain person to a group of people. That’s pretty rare.”

Zhao Xi raised his eyes while talking, but found that Sheng Wang had already lost his mind.He didn't know where he heard it, and what he thought of. Maybe it was because the lights in the classroom were too cold, which made his face pale.

This kind of reaction was really abnormal. Zhao Xi gradually frowned when thinking about some details before.He looked at the boy's slightly lowered eyebrows, and suddenly called out in a low voice, "Sheng Wang?"

"Huh?" Sheng Wang came back to his senses and looked up at him.

"I see that you are distracted, and your complexion is not very good, are you feeling unwell?" Zhao Xi said.

"No." Sheng Wang shook his head and said, "I just thought of something, it's irrelevant."

"That's good." Zhao Xi said.

While talking, Sheng Wang suddenly noticed a new message on the phone screen, which was received 2 minutes ago.He unlocked it and clicked into the WeChat interface. The news came from Jiang Tian——

Changbai Mountain Sacred Tree: My side is alright

Changbai Mountain Divine Tree: Waiting for you downstairs?

Sheng Wang looked at the name of the note with a complicated expression, and typed a reply: I'll come.

Zhao Xi asked: "Jiang Tian's side is over?"

Sheng Wang nodded: "En."

"Then let's go downstairs." He stood up from the table as he spoke, and he didn't forget to put the ruler he had been playing with for a long time back into Jiang Tian's pencil case.

Sheng Wang followed behind him, and the more he looked at the note name, the more he found it garish, so he changed it to "The Best Actor in the Forest", not knowing whether he was making fun of Jiang Tian or himself.

The cold light in the classroom suddenly dimmed, Sheng Wang looked up and saw Zhao Xi was turning off the lights.After he finished changing the note name, he just clicked to confirm, when Zhao Xi in front of him suddenly turned his head and asked him: "Sheng Wang, I actually wanted to ask just now, you won't also..."

He spoke hesitantly and cryptically, but Sheng Wang understood almost instantly.His heart skipped a beat, and he smiled at Zhao Xi reflexively, and said, "Brother Xi, what are you thinking, I like girls."

Zhao Xi looked at him with lowered eyes, his eyes were rare without anger, but with a bit of gentleness.He nodded and said, "Ah, that's good."

Sheng Wang was stunned for a moment.

"This road is not easy." Zhao Xi said again, as if feeling emotional and telling him.

"I know." Sheng Wang said, stretching out his hand to pull the classroom doorknob.

As a result, as soon as the door opened, Jiang Tian leaned against the door and flicked his mobile phone with his head down. He didn't know how long he stood here and heard a few words.

Sheng Wang thought about what he said just now, and there was only one word left in his mind-grass.
