A Certain Someone

The alley fell into dead silence, and Sheng Wang was stunned for a few seconds before realizing the meaning of Ji Huanyu's words.He subconsciously glanced at Jiang Tian, ​​but the night was dark, and he couldn't see Jiang Tian's expression clearly.

He didn't know how Jiang Tian was feeling now, embarrassed?anger?Still doubly disgusting.

But he was going crazy.

He had never seen such a person as Ji Huanyu. If he messed up, he would drag others into the water, and if he lost face, he would make others feel ashamed.

He looked at Ji Huanyu's gradually blurred outline, with half of his face sunk in the shadows, and suddenly felt that he was really blind when he looked at the old photos. How could he think that such a scumbag looked like Jiang Tian when he was young?

Sheng Wang pulled the strap of his schoolbag, took half a step forward and said, "Uncle, what you said has nothing to do with me, but I really want to interject."

The ability he learned from Sheng Mingyang, the more angry he is, the more he can greet people with a smile at that moment.He had the face of a gentle and good student, and Ji Huanyu regarded him as a foil for one of Jiang Tian's classmates, even though he knew that his words were sarcasm, he didn't take it seriously.

"What are you talking about?" Ji Huanyu asked.

Sheng Wang took off the schoolbag on his shoulders, took a look at him, and said, "I just want to say, if you weren't for Jiang Tian's father, this bag would have slapped your face by now."

Subconsciously, Ji Huanyu took half a step back with his left foot and stopped again.He frowned and lowered his eyes to look at Sheng Wang. He didn't know if he thought he was meddling in his own business, or because he expected that an outsider would not recklessly interfere in his and Jiang Tian's family affairs.

Unexpectedly, the boy in front of him spoke again——

He glanced at Jiang Tian and said, "But I don't think Jiang Tian is going to recognize you as a father anymore, is he?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he swung his schoolbag and threw it at Ji Huanyu.

"It's none of your fucking business what Jiang Tian's life is like? He has a family now, fuck it." After finishing his swing, Sheng Wang grabbed Jiang Tian and walked to old man Ding's house.

It's been a long time since Ji Huanyu got along with seventeen or eighteen-year-old boys. He didn't know there was such a person who beat him up.He pressed En's face in a bit of embarrassment, frowning and striding after her.

Sheng Wang heard footsteps, and was about to turn his head to look, but Jiang Tian pressed his shoulders and pushed him behind.

Jiang Tian's right shoulder collapsed, and the strap of his schoolbag fell to his elbow. He rolled up the strap and said to Ji Huanyu, "Isn't it fun to suffer?"

Ji Huanyu stopped.

How much he owed this son, he knew it all too well in his heart.The stopped steps are the evidence.Because he knew very well that if Sheng Wang made a move, he was just trying to stand up for others.If Jiang Tian took action, the accounts of so many years would have to be settled at once.

Old man Ding couldn't see the situation of the battle, so he slammed the door in the room and shouted: "Xiao Tian? Xiao Wang! Xiao Wang! Open the door for me, I want to kill this unscrupulous thing! Who are you bullying? I'm at the door!"

He was so loud that even the dogs in the alley started barking along with him, making a lot of noise.Coughing and human voices came this way again, Ji Huanyu hesitated for a while, and finally moved his feet.

Since he was a child, he has always been strong, obsessive, and wants face to an extreme degree. Whenever he appears in front of people, he is always well-dressed and handsome, but there are always people...someone always remembers his ugly appearance in those dark rooms, so that he can never be truly glamorous. stand up.

After so many years of struggling, he still feels shameful at certain moments.

Shame on people.

Jiang Tian pulled the corner of his mouth, as if he was too lazy to sneer.He walked to the gate of the old courtyard, unfastened the latch, and dragged Sheng Wang in.

The blushing and thick-necked old man Ding was blocked by Sheng Wang's armpit, and Jiang Tian closed the door again, blocking the man in the dark from the door, and didn't take another look.

After a long time, Sheng Wang looked out from the cement grille on the courtyard wall, and there was no one in the small drying yard in front of the door, only the old cartons and plastic bottles piled up in the corner by the dumb uncle, rattling in the wind Voice.

Old man Ding was a little embarrassing tonight. He always felt that it was because he didn't notify in time: "If I find time to call in advance, maybe Xiaotian won't meet Ji Huanyu, this dog."

When Sheng Wang went to the kitchen to wash the cups, it was the Nth time I heard him mumbling like this.After mumbling, the old man turned around with a kitchen knife and asked him, "Dried bamboo shoots, lotus roots, and chestnuts, which do you think Xiao Tian likes better?"

Sheng Wang moved away from his blade, a little dumbfounded.The old man is not good at coaxing people, especially Jiang Tian. After all, he has always been very clear since he was a child, and he rarely needs comfort.The only way the old man can think of is to cook something delicious.I'm already so angry that I can't lose my stomach anymore.

What Jiang Tian likes to eat is a philosophical question.Old man Ding has raised him as his own grandson for so many years, but he didn't understand this matter, because every time he asked, he said "whatever".

Sheng Wang thought he didn't know, but after thinking about it, he was able to choose one from the three: "That should be dried bamboo shoots, which are crispy. He seems to prefer crisper things, which are more delicious than crispy ones." A little more. He rarely takes the initiative to touch things like eggplant and loofah.”

The old man gave him a thumbs up and went to dig out something in the refrigerator.

Sheng Wang wanted to pour two glasses of water, but inspired by the old man, he rummaged through the kitchen, found a pack of chamomile, and sprinkled a few chamomiles in the cup, wanting to relieve Jiang's anger, talking is better than nothing.

This night, the old and the young tried their best at the dinner table, but Jiang Tian remained silent.

Sheng Wang suddenly remembered when he first met Jiang Tian.He wondered for a long time, wondering why this man kept his face frozen all day and was always unhappy.Now I finally understand that if he had a father like that, had seen those messy things, and grew up from that environment, he wouldn't be able to pick out a few things to be happy about.

The luggage for the training camp had already been packed, and there was no need for evening self-study tonight. They stayed with old man Ding for a long time, and when they returned to school, the evening self-study for the dormitory students had already finished.

No. [-] Road is full of students coming and going, some of them have traveled "thousands of miles" to Xile to buy a few snacks that are not available in other convenience stores, some of them are holding basketballs, and when they pass by the playground, they even have to throw a couple of shots to enjoy themselves.

Jiang Tian occasionally looked up at the playground, half-closed his eyes, and looked away after a while.He was distracted, not knowing what to think about.

Sheng Wang took a few glances at him and said, "Brother?"

There were several students whizzing by, but Jiang Tian didn't seem to hear clearly.

Sheng Wang thought for a while, then called out again: "Jiang Tian!"

"Huh?" The other party finally recovered and turned to look at him.

"Inheritance is all nonsense." Sheng Wang said, "Only when you can't find anything to say about it, you will talk about inheritance. It's just to disturb you. Don't talk to him."

"Besides, Aunt Jiang has so many good qualities in her body, which is enough to inherit. When will you get him? You have the final say on what you do, and it has nothing to do with him. You are different from him..."

Sheng Wang remembered the meaning behind the phrase "inherited", was quiet for a few seconds, and said, "Don't worry, it won't be the same."

Jiang Tian didn't respond.

They walked to the dormitory building unknowingly, and many people ran downstairs, fetching water, shopping, and visiting.They went upstream, the corridor on the sixth floor was brightly lit, the door of the dormitory on the far side was never open, and Shi Yu and Qiu Wenbin probably just came back.

When he was about to walk to the door of the dormitory, Jiang Tian, ​​who had been silent all the way, suddenly said, "Brother Xi said something before."

"What?" Sheng Wang asked.

"Let me not overcorrect and go too far, it's easy to be self-defeating." Jiang Tian said.

Zhao Xi said: The more you force yourself to go in the opposite direction, the more you will care about the road behind you.The more you want to clear something, the stronger its sense of existence will be.

Lin Beiting said: In the future, I will meet all kinds of people, there are too many, it is impossible to get closer and have other ideas.

Sheng Wang said: Don't worry, you won't be the same.

He actually understands all this, but...

Jiang Tian looked away from Sheng Wang, unloaded his schoolbag and walked into the dormitory. Before the lights were turned off, the lights in the room were brightly lit, covering the boy who came back late with a circle of furry light.

When passing through the door, he whispered: "Actually, it was self-defeating."
