A Certain Someone

For students who are immersed in test papers, dormitories, cafeterias, and classrooms, there are no holidays that deserve special attention throughout the year, and only holidays are the most meaningful.

Students in the attached middle school count their days by weekly exams, monthly exams and large-scale events. When they see the sports meeting, they know that eleventh is coming, and when they see the art festival, they know that the year is coming to an end.

Shengwang has not yet formed such a conditioned reflex.

He lay on Jiang Tian's bed and took a late sleep.It wasn't until the sun was shining on his face that he fished out his phone in a daze to look, only to find that December 12 was written on the screen.

"Get up?" Jiang Tian asked.

"No." Sheng Wang put away the phone.The bed was extremely narrow, and it was even more crowded to sleep two big boys.No wonder he turned over, hugged Jiang Tian with his arms and legs like he was hugging a pillow, and said lazily, "Tomorrow is New Year's Day."

He closed his eyes and was half buried in the quilt, and he didn't know if he just didn't want to move, or he planned to sleep for a while.Jiang Tian accepted his fate in front of the pillow. His left hand was actually a little numb from the pressure, but it was already numb anyway, so he didn't intend to say anything.

"What happened to New Year's Day?" he asked.

Sheng Wang seemed to be falling asleep again, and he replied after a while: "It's nothing, I'm feeling emotional. It feels like the past six months have been very long, longer than my previous ten years combined."

"Is there?" Jiang Tian also closed his eyes. He was already awake, but he was a little sleepy by the voice of the person next to him.

Sheng Wang said, "Maybe I didn't remember anything before."

He always forgets what he does and who he meets every day, big or small.Spring, summer, autumn and winter change quickly, as if brushing papers, dozing off between classes, and then spending a few moments in a daze, the time just passed by like this.

"It's different now, remember the big things clearly."

"why?"

Because he wanted to remember more, how he met, how he liked, and how he got together... He didn't know why he had to remember these things, he just felt like a money fan with a pile of gold and silver in his arms, he wanted ingots, copper coins You can't lose it either.Every penny less feels like a big loss.

He used to never understand those people who eat, drink, sleep, and take pictures to commemorate everything, and felt that the sourness was too nasty.Now I can suddenly understand a little bit.

But these words are a bit hypocritical, and he couldn't say it even if he had ten faces.So he replied to Jiang Tian, ​​"I don't know, maybe the second puberty has developed, the brain is good, and the memory is strong."

Jiang Tian was probably so shocked by him, he held it back for a long time, and sneered shortly and meanly.

"Are you mocking me?" Sheng Wang raised his face from the bed, he was a little hot from stuffiness, his hair was messy and his eyes were piercing, and he stared at his brother.

The other party didn't open their eyes, and pretended to be dead without making a sound.

Sheng Wang stared at it for a while, then quietly lowered his hand under the blanket, and like a sneak attack, he poked around the waist and crotch into the opponent's trousers.

Jiang Tian arched his waist, grabbed his wrist, opened his eyes and looked at him blankly: "..."

Shengwang succeeded in playing a prank, he twitched his hands and crawled out of bed, and ran to the sink, leaning on the wall and grinning: "I'll just say hello, good morning, classmate Jiang Xiaotian."

Because of this hooligan greeting, his lower lip was broken when he went out.

The holiday method of the attached middle school has always been strange, Buddhist, follow the fate, whatever day you get.Several other schools in the city are closed on the 1st, but it prefers to put the holiday on the 31st.

There was no one in the school, and there was a sense of desolation after the excitement everywhere, which was a bit of a bleak winter. The Xile convenience store was closed for the first time, and even the mobile food stalls at the school gate were reduced by more than half.

Jiang Tian had something to do to go to the north gate, the two of them wandered around the streets and alleys, and entered a small shop called "Wine Granny" for breakfast.Like this kind of small facade, the name may not be found on the gourmet app.

"You can find all these places?" Sheng Wang found a seat and sat down, flipping through the simple breakfast list.

"The old man used to come here to buy peanuts for drinking," Jiang Tian said.

"Ximen came to the North Gate to buy peanuts?" Sheng Wang exclaimed, "The old man is physically strong enough, and the boss here is especially delicious in frying peanuts?"

Jiang Tian shook his head: "You look good."

Sheng Wang was stunned for a moment and turned his head away, and saw a little old lady coming over with the cloth curtain aside, put down two cups of hot tea, and asked with a smile: "Come to eat vermicelli soup?"

Sheng Wang also nodded with a smile: "I want two bowls."

"Ah, is there a taboo?"

"Don't put spicy food in his bowl," Jiang Tian said.

"Wait a minute." The little old lady wiped her hands and went behind the curtain again.

Sheng Wang looked back and took a sip of tea, then whispered, "When I was young, I should have been a great beauty. Why doesn't the old man come now?"

Jiang Tian said, "Not competitive enough."

"Huh?" Sheng Wang seldom heard gossip from him once, and the experience was a bit novel, so he asked, "How can you say that you are not competitive enough?"

"Tough temper, loud voice, fierce appearance." Jiang Tian briefly summed up Old Man Ding's characteristics, and said, "I lost to a retired old teacher."

"The old man must be sad for a while?"

Jiang Tian said "hmm" and said, "I was so angry that I quit drinking."

Sheng Wang: "..."

This temper is really a bit big.

The old lady was very dexterous, and soon brought two bowls of vermicelli soup.The two boys were embarrassed to let her go far, so they got up and took it.

The winter in this city is very extreme. As long as there is sunshine outside, it is warm like spring, but inside it is gloomy, with cold seeping from the bones.

Sheng Wang didn't like to wear thick clothes, so he put on a gray-black denim jacket over the hoodie and came out, his knuckles turned white from the cold.After two mouthfuls of hot soup, I completely warmed up.

He ate for a while, then pretended to be casual and asked: "Is the old man very worried, and I often hear what he said that kept him awake all night."

Jiang Tian paused, raised his eyelids and looked at him.

Sheng Wang could feel the other party's gaze, but he didn't raise his head, he just focused on picking the tofu fruit in the soup, as if he was really just asking casually.

"That's what he said." Jiang Tian had already looked away, and said calmly, "Watching TV in the afternoon can help you sleep for three or four hours, but of course you can't fall asleep at night."

Shengwang let out an "oh" and cheered up again.He always felt that Jiang Tian's spicy bowl smelled better, so he scooped up a few chopsticks regardless of the obstruction, and then covered the cut on his lips and died heroically on the table.

The old lady was startled when she came out, and asked Jiang Tian, ​​"Is he full?"

"I'm crying." Jiang Tian stood up angrily, went to the counter to pick up a can of milk, and touched someone's face.

The wind chime at the door jingled suddenly, and a new guest came in.Sheng Wang took the milk and sat up, and found that the person who came was actually an acquaintance.

"Brother Xi?" Sheng Wang greeted.

Zhao Xi saw the two of them as soon as he entered the door. He smoked one after another, took off the cigarette from his lips, and pressed it on the trash can by the door.Faint smoke fainted in front of his face.

He squinted his eyes in the smoke, and said hello, "You have a holiday and don't sleep in, and you actually come to have breakfast?"

"He came to the north gate for business." Sheng Wang pointed to Jiang Tian and said, "By the way, let's have breakfast."

"Yeah. I'll go to Brother Chu later." Jiang Tian said.

"Oh yes." Zhao Xi nodded, "It's almost the end."

There are dragons and crouching tigers hidden in the north gate, and there are many small cooking classes in the residential buildings, with a constant flow of customers and prosperous business.As a school bully and street bully in his early years, Zhao Xi knew many people.At the beginning, I led Jiang Tian to help a friend's teaching auxiliary organization compile mathematics, physics and chemistry supplementary courseware, the kind used in the in-depth development class, which did not take up much time for a top student like Jiang Tian, ​​and earned a lot of money.

When Sheng Wang first met Jiang Tian, ​​he would come to the north gate to do business, and then go home after work, so that Jiang Ou would not know what to think.Later, when school officially started, I greeted the other party and paused.

The end of the period is approaching recently, which means that the winter vacation is approaching, and another peak period for making up classes is coming.

Zhao Xi asked the old lady for two takeaway vermicelli soups, chatting with them while waiting.Finally, he asked Jiang Tian as if thinking of something: "Did you celebrate your birthday a year ago?"

"Well, what happened?"

"That's in time." Zhao Xi said, "When the time comes, Lin Zi and I will treat you to a meal."

Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian glanced at each other, and heard a bit of extraneous voice: "What do you mean in time?"

"Being in time means we're leaving." Zhao Xi said, "Lin Zi and I are going to Beijing."

"Vacation?"

"Work."

"The barbecue restaurant..."

Zhao Xi smiled: "We're not chefs, so we'll do the same when we leave. Stone and his gang are familiar with you, so if you want to make skewers, you should get a discount."

Sheng Wang let out a soft "ah", feeling a little disappointed.

The old lady quickly packed two servings of vermicelli soup, and Shumen Shulu gave Zhao Xi a lot of spicy food, which made Sheng Wang's mouth hurt.

The three of them walked towards the residential building together.Brother Chu's supplementary class was in the building near the north gate, and Jiang Tian went up to get the range and materials needed for the winter vacation courseware.

Sheng Wang was waiting for him downstairs basking in the sun, but Zhao Xi also stopped walking. He looked at Sheng Wang and joked, "What did you do to make your mouth swell like this?"

"Spicy." Sheng Wang poured milk that relieved the spicy taste, with a very embarrassing look on his face.

"Oh." Zhao Xi took out another cigarette, lit it in the leeward place, and drank it. It may be because of the smoke, he looked a little tired.

"Brother Xi, haven't you slept well recently?" Sheng Wang asked.

"Are the dark circles so obvious?" Zhao Xi rubbed his eyes and said, "Old Comrade Zhao is not in good health these days. Lin Zi and I have been walking around the old comrade recently, and we haven't slept much. Going back to Beijing, the two The old ones will also pass along. Xile may have to let others look after it. If you want to buy something, remember to buy it quickly before the year, and you may not be able to give your relatives and friends the price after the year.”

Seeing that he was still able to joke, Sheng Wang felt relieved.

Zhao Xi didn't stay any longer. He answered the phone and pressed his cigarette to leave, but before he left, he glanced at Shengwang's neck and took off his scarf with a tsk: "I guess I'm getting old, look at your winter." I was so cold when I exposed my neck, wrap it around, and I'm leaving."

Sheng Wang grabbed the scarf with a dazed expression on his face, he had already turned the corner and walked away.

The young master should also pay attention to whether he is handsome or not when he wears a scarf, and he can't just wear it casually.The windows on the first floor of the residential building were polished, and he used it as a mirror to look at it, only to see a small mark on the side of his neck, whether it was made by his brother last night or this morning.

This is what Zhao Xi glanced at just now.

Sheng Wang froze in place holding the scarf, his heart pounding and sinking.

When Jiang Tian went downstairs, Sheng Wang had already wrapped the scarf.The dark gray cashmere cloth covered his chin, making his face white.

"Where did you get the scarf?" Jiang Tian asked.

"Brother Xi gave it to me." Sheng Wang's voice was hidden under the scarf, a little muffled: "I feel cold just looking at it."

They sent the materials back to the dormitory and walked to a nearby studio.

The blockbuster movies were all reserved for the Spring Festival, and there was nothing to watch for the new ones released recently, so the two picked one at random, but they were unlucky and bored, so that Sheng Wang became absent-minded not long after he entered the theater.

There weren't many people watching the movie in the morning, and the two of them originally wanted to find a place to stay together, so when Sheng Wang chose the seat, he found the theater with the fewest people, and chose the last row where no one chose.

Jiang Tian was really not interested in this type of film, and fell asleep with his fingers hooked on his head after watching halfway through.Sheng Wang didn't call him, took out his phone, turned the light to the darkest, and scanned Moments for a while, only to find two videos shared by Sheng Mingyang, and gave two thumbs up without saying anything.

Just looking at the thumbnail, you can tell that it is the performance video of him and Jiang Tian at the art festival last night.

He froze for a moment and quickly sent a message to Sheng Mingyang.

Say it again: Did you come to school yesterday?

Health Encyclopedia: No.Didn't I mention it to you before, Bureau Chen made a dinner appointment last night, and my father pushed it twice before, but this time I really can't push it.

Say it again: Oh, I just saw you shared two videos suddenly, and thought you and Aunt Jiang came over to watch them

Health Encyclopedia: The circle of friends posted by your director Xu, I went to find the video he wanted

Health Encyclopedia: To make up for the regret of not being able to go to the scene, your Aunt Jiang said that you are very handsome

Say it again: that is, when did your son stop being handsome?

Sheng Wang heaved a sigh of relief, thinking it was a false alarm.

As a result, as soon as it was loosened, Sheng Mingyang said: I see why Xiao Tian is wearing your shirt?

Sheng Wang almost threw the phone out. He grabbed the phone, glanced at Jiang Tian quietly, saw that he just frowned, and then he was relieved. He bit the tip of his tongue and replied word by word: Ink was splashed on my shirt, and the chorus is not good. It was convenient to wear, so I borrowed it from him.He performed in pairs, so the costumes don't have to be so uniform.

Health Encyclopedia: No wonder, I don't see his clothes tied up properly, only half tucked.Your Auntie Jiang said she wanted to put the other half in for him after seeing it.

Sheng Wang couldn't hold back a muffled laugh, and after laughing, he felt a little indescribable.

He was silent for a moment, then replied to his father: My brother is cool.

Health Encyclopedia: Oh, we old comrades are not used to it.Tell Tim that he plays the guitar well.

Sheng Wang replied "Yes" and did not continue.

Maybe it's because of the holiday, this day's WeChat is extremely lively.It lit up a dozen times in a short while.Sheng Wang originally thought it was Sheng Mingyang's news, but when he clicked on it, he found that there was a small group of people.

It was a preparation group drawn before the art festival.Originally, Jiang Tian was also there, but he left as soon as the art festival ended last night.Sheng Wang hadn't had time yet.

Gao Tianyang and the others were so bored, they were sharing lunch on the day of the holiday in the group, trying to torture each other.As a result, Little Pepper suddenly popped up and said: Did you hear that something was lost in the auditorium last night?

Simple and unpretentious Gao Tianyang: Huh?

Da Song: Pepper, I appreciate your spirit of sharing gossip, but everyone in Aite may be madly complained by Brother Tim and Brother Sheng about this kind of thing

After saying this, Little Pepper suddenly lost his voice.

Or carp added: Hasn't Jiang Tian already retired?

Da Song: Oh yes, I forgot

Carp said: I will quit after a while, I will drink porridge at home and just watch your fighting pictures, it is too torture.

They chatted miscellaneously for quite a while before Little Pepper reappeared and replied: Hand trembling accidentally @Everyone

As soon as he finished speaking, Shengwang showed that he was @@ again.

Unpretentious and unpretentious Gao Tianyang: ... Take it, sister Chili, are you here to be funny?

Little Pepper posted a self-closing picture.

Simple and unpretentious Gao Tianyang: So what happened to the loss of things in the auditorium?

This time Xiaojiao returned quickly: Yesterday was crowded, it was probably quite chaotic, and several students lost their things.It is said that the English class representative of our class lost his bag.

Say it again: Qi Jiahao?

Ever since Qi Jiahao cheated Shengwang back then, Class A seemed to have no such person.He basically doesn't participate in any activities, big or small, as if he is concentrating on his studies.In other words, they are virtually isolated.

Others no longer take the initiative to take him, and he himself chooses to stay away from others.This kind of isolation is not indifferent to any student, so he seems to be working hard, but his grades are steadily declining, so the whole person seems even more marginalized.Sheng Wang hadn't seen him a few times since he was transferred to Class B. If Chili hadn't mentioned it suddenly, he would have almost forgotten about this person.

Chili's side didn't know if it was busy or stuck, Sheng Wang finished sending a message, but she fell silent again.

After a long time, she popped out and said: Yes.

Then she immediately added: It is said that he went to the Political and Religious Office to adjust the monitoring of the auditorium today.

Sheng Wang was about to turn off the screen, but when he suddenly saw this sentence, his breathing became stagnant, his blood seemed to be pumped, and his chest was cold.

Adjust monitoring?Which time to adjust the monitoring?Will it go to the fourth floor?

Maybe because he was too stiff, Jiang Tian suddenly woke up.He pinched the center of his brows, relieved his drowsiness, and then whispered in his ear: "What's up?"

Sheng Wang subconsciously turned off the screen.

He rubbed his fingertips vigorously, felt the temperature of the extremities of his limbs, and then said: "No, just the art festival group, Chili's hands trembled and tapped everyone in Aite twice. I thought there was something wrong, but the result depends Until they are making hot pot barbecue."

In fact, adjusting the monitoring means that the things he and Jiang Tian did on the fourth floor are likely to be seen. It may be better to discuss countermeasures with Jiang Tian in advance.

But he instinctively didn't want to mention it, just like the traces Zhao Xi saw in the morning, including the video posted by Sheng Mingyang.

He always felt that once he told Jiang Tian, ​​it meant that they had to bring out some practical issues and clarify them.That result probably won't make them happy.

won't see it.

He said to himself in his heart.

Rationally speaking, there is no way out on the fourth floor. If students with dirty hands and feet take their bags, they will only walk outside the auditorium, and will not struggle to go upstairs.

And as long as you look at the surveillance inside the auditorium, you can know who has the bag. It's too time-consuming to watch everywhere.

Definitely... won't see it.

He felt that he might have been too complacent a few days ago, so God decided to give him a few sticks to suppress him, but unfortunately, these sticks were all picked on the same day, and a series of attacks came, which caught him off guard.

Other things are fine, Qi Jiahao's surveillance is like a long sword, hanging above his head, and he doesn't know when it will come down.As a result, he was a little out of his mind for several days after that, as long as Jiang Tian was not around, he would be unscrupulous and long-term stunned.

Until one morning a week later, Xu Xiaozui went downstairs during the big class break, called Sheng Wang out at the door of Class B, and said, "Go to the Political and Education Office, the director is looking for you."

Sheng Wang was stunned for a moment, and when he saw Jiang Tian who was following him downstairs, his mind suddenly buzzed.

He licked his lips and asked dryly, "Are you looking for the two of us?"

Xu Xiaozui nodded and said, "Yes."

"What's the matter?" Sheng Wang asked.

"No." Xu Xiaozui shook his head, "Just let me bring a message, I didn't say anything."

Sheng Wang couldn't remember how to get to the political and religious office. He also forgot what he talked with Jiang Tian along the way. He just felt that he was divided into two halves. send.

In the end, when he entered the office of the Political and Education Department, he didn't see Qi Jiahao, but instead saw Yang Jing.Xu Dazui held two flannel hardcover certificates, and smiled like a big horse monkey, grinning to the base of his ears.

"Okay! Okay!" Xu Dazui unfolded the certificate, waved it around in front of the two of them, patted Sheng Wang and Jiang Tian on the shoulders and said, "The results of the English competition are out, but I can't help laughing. Two first prizes! National level! I've been holding back all morning, and I'm just waiting for a surprise for you two and Xiao Yang during the break! How are you doing? Are you happy?"

"..."

I……

Sheng Wang was stupid for more than ten seconds before he uttered a rude sentence in his heart.

It's all like this, if Xu Dazui really finds something, it's impossible for Xu Dazui to say nothing, so it should be fine.The sword that had been hanging for a week crashed to the ground, hitting his forehead with a golden light.At that moment, he put his arms around Jiang Tian's shoulders, said "What a big surprise, it scared me to death", and then put all the weight on Jiang Tian's body.

When he left the office, the young master looked like a "corpse" and was almost dragged by Jiang Tian.

"I'm going down the stairs later, are you sure you want to hang like this?" Jiang Tian glanced at him.

Sheng Wang: "I am so happy that my legs are weak."

Jiang Tian: "..."

Xu Dazui held two photos in front of him humming with his head held high, and led Jiang Tian, ​​who won an award and was indifferent, and Sheng Wang, who was suddenly paraplegic, to the wall of honor, and solemnly took the photos of the two of them. They were pasted side by side, and then a newly cut red paper strip was pasted horizontally——
