A Certain Someone

Jiang Tian saw Sheng Mingyang again at noon that day, in a hospital that was in turmoil.

None of them wanted to expose the matter to Jiang Ou, but they forgot one thing—there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and the school is precisely the place where rumors are most likely to breed.

After Jiang Ou's grade-level parent meeting, no one answered Sheng Mingyang's phone call, only a WeChat message saying "I'm in a hurry, I'll be back late".Because of Ji Huanyu's relationship, she and Sheng Mingyang were already in an unbroken period of conflict, and because of her health, the business side no longer intervened.So she saw WeChat and didn't ask much, but followed the big team to Mingli Building, wanting to say hello to Jiang Tianshengwang before leaving.

It turned out that those rumors about her son were heard in the hallway.

Gao Tianyang knew Jiang Ou, and was the first to notice that she was in a very strange state.Shengwang Jiangtian's mobile phone and schoolbag were all in the classroom, so he could only dial a number back and forth, and the call was notified to old man Ding.

So things got out of hand.

When Jiang Tian rushed back to the attached high school, he was greeted by such a mess.

At that moment, he felt that someone was playing an absurd joke on him. Although he was already working hard, he always seemed to be a few seconds behind.If he didn't catch up with the first step, he was destined to miss everything, and then watched as one section of the carriage collided with the other, and the collision was turned upside down and beyond recognition.

And all he could do was stand and watch.

He is not good at talking, not good at venting, he is a dumb person with no appearance.

Sheng Mingyang rushed to the hospital very quickly. When he got out of the elevator, he saw Jiang Tian sitting on an unoccupied bench in the corridor, with his legs arched and his head almost down to the elbow.The outline of the brows still has the sharpness of a young man, but his body is exhausted.

He originally wanted to say something, but he came with a suppressed anger, and when he saw Jiang Tian like this, he suddenly forgot.

At that moment, he suddenly realized that the big boy in front of him was actually about the same age as Sheng Wang...

He never seemed to really realize it.

But the thought just flashed by and was suppressed again.Jiang Tian glanced at him when he heard footsteps, and then subconsciously glanced behind him. There was no one in the elevator, and it closed again with a clang.

Sheng Mingyang frowned, and said after a while: "Sheng Wang didn't come, I asked someone to look after him."

This feeling of explaining his son's whereabouts to others was very strange, and he was agitated for a while, and the anger that had just been suppressed surged up again.But he couldn't talk to Jiang Tian like he did to Sheng Wang, he would subconsciously restrain himself and play bureaucratic.

It wasn't until then that he realized that he didn't really regard Jiang Tian as a family member at all.

Jiang Tian stood up from the chair. He was actually taller than Sheng Mingyang. Although he had the unique thinness of a teenager, he still made people feel oppressed.He said: "My problem, don't scold him."

Sheng Mingyang thought it was absurd. He was obviously his son, but someone else was doing it for him, as if he was a big villain out to harm his reputation: "When did you see me scolding him?"

He asked a question back, he really didn't want to say more, so he hurried in.

Sheng Mingyang had never seen Jiang Ou look so hysterical. For a moment, he even thought that she would go crazy or do something irreversible on impulse. In short, she was completely different from the people he knew back then.It's not enough to say how deep the relationship is between them, it's just that there just happens to be such a person, who just evokes his nostalgia for his dead wife, just right.It's as if Jiang Ou's strongest feelings are not with him, but with Ji Huanyu.

During the winter vacation, his nerves were tense all the time, and his not-so-strong feelings were worn away. He only had some responsibility, some sympathy for the current Jiang Ou, and the blame that he didn't want to admit but couldn't ignore——

Without Jiang Ou, there would be no Jiang Tian, ​​and things wouldn't get into such an embarrassing situation that couldn't be dealt with.

But at the same time, for Jiang Ou, these things would not be possible without Shengwang.So besides blaming, Sheng Mingyang felt a little guilty.

The ward is filled with a strong smell of potions, accompanied by the woman's screams of collapse and low uninterrupted sobs, as well as bursts of sobs that sometimes break out and stop, like several contradictory and forcibly mixed bad tones, which are so depressing. People can't stay.

Sheng Mingyang didn't know how long Jiang Tian had been in the hospital, but after just a few minutes, he couldn't take it anymore.During this period, he went downstairs a few more times. When old man Ding was rushing to school, because he was in a trance, he fell while fighting with Jiang Ou.

It is said that older people cannot wrestle, but old man Ding is the same. He cannot be angry or anxious.During the winter vacation, Ji Huanyu's bad things had already made him sleepless all night, and he became dull. This time, he was hit again, and his whole body became wilted.He was leaning against the head of the bed with white hair, his shoulders were hunched, and he looked out of the window somewhere, in a daze for a long time, as if he was getting old all of a sudden.

Sheng Mingyang and Jiang Tian were so busy in the hospital that they didn't catch their breath until night.They sat down in the family area, silence and suffocation slowly spread, filling this corner.

After a long time, Sheng Mingyang glanced in the direction of the ward, and asked, "Do you regret it? Things have come to this point."

Jiang Tian lowered his eyes, staring at a certain void as if in a trance, or as if in pure silence.

"You're older and more mature." Sheng Mingyang said with a tired tone, "I'll listen to what you think."

It took a while for Jiang Tian to say, "I don't owe anyone."

He has grown up so much, he has never stayed with anyone for a long time, and he has never regarded anyone as a pillar.He is used to taking things out, but rarely takes other people's.As long as you take a little, you will double it back.

He owes no one.

He did what he thought he should do, and he did what he should.He doesn't need to be afraid of anyone, he doesn't need to look at anyone, he only looks at Shengwang.

Sheng Mingyang probably also knew about his situation, but he couldn't find a word to answer for a while.After being stunned for a moment, he said, "But Wangzai is different."

Jiang Tian let out a "hmm", almost losing his youthful air at that moment.He said, "I know."

Sheng Wang is soft-hearted and sensitive. He often says that he has a bad temper, but he always considers other people's feelings.Even though they were lonely as a child, their reactions were completely opposite. One simply sealed himself in ice, while the other stretched out countless tentacles to detect movement in all directions.

But it is because of this that they have an intersection.

It was because of his soft heart that Sheng Wang opened the window to stop him when he stood alone under the streetlight in Baima Alley late at night.

He knew this very well, so he looked for Sheng Wang all over the world in the morning, but he didn't ask again in the afternoon.It's not that I don't want to see him anymore, it's that I don't want Sheng Wang to come to see him, and I don't want Sheng Wang to see the mess spread out in front of him.

He knew Shengwang would be uncomfortable.He also knew that when he saw Shengwang's uncomfortable moment, he would be a little shaken.

It was the second day since Sheng Wang arrived at the hospital.

He didn't have a schoolbag or a cell phone, so Sheng Mingyang asked someone to watch him all night.He was in deep irritability and anxiety during the day, and he just wanted to say a few words to Jiang Tian, ​​even if he explained where he was going, so that people don't have to worry.At night, he repeatedly recalled the scene in the cemetery, and remembered his mother smiling at him in the pale photo, while he pursed his lips and looked elsewhere, until his eyes turned red and he couldn't say what he wanted to say.

It is said that the closest relatives know best where it hurts the most, and Sheng Mingyang knows how to make him sad.He was taken to the cemetery the first day and to his hospital bed the next day.Jiang Tian was not there when he went, so Sheng Mingyang made a special time difference.

Older people feel less sleepy. The nurse said that old man Ding just sat on the bed before dawn, and was in a daze all day long.He stumbled, half panicked and half scared caused a blood clot, and became dull. He just squinted and smiled when others said anything.People can't figure out whether he doesn't care or doesn't understand.

When Sheng Wang entered the ward, he turned his head slowly, stared at Sheng Wang for a while, and suddenly smiled and waved.

After the incident was exposed, this was the only elder who could laugh. Shengwang's nose was inexplicably sour, and he couldn't tell if it was sad or something else.He walked over hesitantly, old man Ding grabbed him with his big skinny hand, and while holding it, he turned his head to reach the hand on the bedside to peel the orange.

The old man stuffed the two biggest ones for him, raised his chin and said, "Eat, it's sweet."

Sheng Wang lowered his head and was about to say something with an orange in his elbow, when the old man pointed to the upstairs and said, "Give Xiao Wang one too, sweet!"

He was stunned for a moment, and after a while, he turned his head and clenched his teeth, his eye circles turned red a little bit.He knows that the old man sometimes gets confused and makes a slip of the tongue, but it's just a momentary thing, and it doesn't mean that he is really stupid and can't tell people apart.But the old man was hale and hearty before, and he has never been in such a situation. This is the first time...

This was even more sad than being slapped on the spot, Sheng Wang almost fled in despair.

Sheng Mingyang dragged him upstairs again, pointed to Jiang Ou in the door and said: "I know you are stubborn, it seems that you are very cowardly if you don't persist, but look again, this is what you want to see ?”

Sheng Wang couldn't remember how he felt the moment he saw Jiang Ou, he just remembered that he walked in almost at a loss, wanted to say something to the other party, but was speechless.He didn't know whether he should care or apologize, until Jiang Ou slowly raised his eyes to look at him, and then suddenly lost control of his emotions.

Both the nurse and Sheng Mingyang were comforting her, she struggled to grab Sheng Wang and said, "Auntie, please, please, how are you?"

Sheng Wang's face turned pale.

Jiang Ou finally calmed down under the efforts of all kinds of people. She took a look at Sheng Wang, curled up in the bed with her back to him, and closed her red and swollen eyes without saying a word.Sheng Wang stood stiffly for a while, then went out from the ward.

This is what Jiang Tian saw when he came from the corner of the stairs.

He saw a few nurses hurrying out of the ward, apparently after a commotion.He saw Sheng Wang leaning against the pale wall of the hospital, standing outside the door of the ward with his head bowed, his dangling fingers unconsciously pinching his joints, embarrassing and silent.

At that moment, Jiang Tian suddenly realized that he hadn't seen Sheng Wang's unburdened smile for a long, long time.

He suddenly realized that all the things on his body were thorny, and they were all facing Shengwang. Every time he took a step towards him, every time he got close to him, he would be stuck in and pulled out by those thorns, dripping with blood. .

The sun that always revolves around him no longer shines because of him.

He wanted to kiss the other's downcast eyes, the corners of his lips that were no longer smiling.It was too lonely to stand there alone, he wanted to go over and hope, but when he turned his head, he saw the thorns all over his body... One day he didn't smooth it out, and he couldn't get close to him one day.

In the end, Jiang Tian just walked over and called out in a low voice, "Wangzai."

Sheng Wang raised his head, his eyes were red.

Sheng Mingyang was busy going through the school transfer procedures for Sheng Wang, when he suddenly received a call from Jiang Tian.He said: "He has been transferred too many times, and he hasn't stayed there for a long time. The exam is coming soon, so don't transfer him again."

Sheng Mingyang said, "One has to go."

Jiang Tian said, "I will."

He took out the luggage for a long time, and finally put it back in the box.It was like a good dream, and accidentally woke up again.

Jiang Tian transferred to another school in mid-February and took away the cat signed by Sheng Wang.Jiang Ou and old man Ding also left here together.He took his thorns and walked cleanly.

Since then, Class A has vacated a seat, and everyone forgot to remind the teacher to collect it, just like Xu Dazui mentioned it twice out of thin air, but he never tore Jiang Tian's photo off the honor wall.

The small college entrance examination in early March will be held as usual, and time will not stop because of gatherings and separations in a certain corner. Class A's one-month group crouching has achieved remarkable results. All members are 3A, and they have completed the goal set by He Jin without any suspense, and no one is left behind.

Sheng Wang has become reticent for a long time, and occasionally for a moment, Gao Tianyang and the others will see the shadow of another person in him, always sigh for a moment and then feel inexplicably sad.

Class A has an open atmosphere. The incident at the beginning just made the atmosphere awkward for a few days and then returned to its original position.Those who have a good relationship with Shengwang are still on good terms. They gathered in various lively places, told exaggerated jokes and gossip to make him happy, watched him climb to the first place, nailed to the first place, and slowly shook off No. 2 for a long time, and then howled like a booing.

The second semester of the second year of high school is a peak season. After the junior high school entrance examination, other classes start to go into general review, and all the energy of Class A is put on the competition.Sheng Wang won all the semi-final spots in mathematics, physics and chemistry, and the two months of July and August were filled to the brim with various special training classes, summer camps, and intensive training.

Gao Tianyang, as the tail of the crane with the heaviest butt in Class A, only entered the chemistry semi-finals.He is in a very good mood, happy to be at leisure, and shakes his head every time he sees Shengwang's schedule.Said: "It's miserable, it's too miserable."

Sheng Wang said angrily: "I really feel miserable and remember to bring the tribute to visit the prison."

It was the first time he joked like this after Jiang Tian left. Gao Tianyang and the others were flattered, and immediately swore that they would not be human.

From that day on, Sheng Wang gradually regained his previous appearance, would step on the chair and sway, would spin the pen to dismantle Gao Tianyang and Song Sirui's stage, would pour water with his head up after playing basketball, and then laugh while fanning the wind while holding his collar Talk to people.

Sometimes it can give people the illusion that everything is back on track and the dust has settled.

Only occasionally when passing by the wall of honor in the long corridor, he would stop and watch his photos on the wall change from one to two, then three, and then more and more, almost occupying a small half of the country...

The other half of the wall never changed.

In the summer vacation at the end of the second year of high school, Sheng Mingyang mentioned that with the help of two seniors from Beijing, Jiang Tian applied for a foreign school, avoided the embarrassment of inconsistent progress and examination system, and arranged for Jiang Ou and old man Ding to take care of them. hospital.

Sheng Mingyang didn't mention himself, but Sheng Wang felt that he should also have a hand.

At that time, Shengwang was training.There is a convenience store next to the No. 2 gate of the school. The decoration is very similar to Xile. Sheng Wang always goes there to buy things, even though it is far away from where he lives.After coming and going, I became familiar with the boss.

When receiving Sheng Mingyang's message, Sheng Wang was buying water in a convenience store, and the boss was sipping cherries there with his legs crossed, and when paying the bill, he generously pushed the glass bowl forward and said, "Come, have some."

Sheng Wang looked at the phone screen for a long time without returning to his senses, and took one randomly at the boss's urging, but it tasted strangely bitter after chewing.

He had just sweated, and his face was a little pale in front of the air conditioner.The boss wondered what was wrong and asked him what was wrong.

He turned off the screen, put the phone back in his pocket, bowed his head to pay and said, "There is something wrong with your purchase, I suffered a lot."

The boss looked around the bowl and said, "The cherries are short-lived and easy to go bad. You are out of luck."

Sheng Wang didn't look up, after a long while, he said "um", then waved his hands and left without looking back.

It might be the fault of bad cherries. After he walked a few steps, his stomach felt uncomfortable.The range of discomfort was so vague that there was an illusion of a cold chest.

He suddenly remembered that day in February, when Jiang Tian came over and called him in a low voice: "Wangzi."

Before he even opened his mouth, he knew what the other party wanted to say.

At that time, he was hesitant and confused, and he babbled some nonsense and couldn't remember what he said. He only remembered that he held Jiang Tian and said, "I didn't let go this time."

Jiang Tian was silent for a long time and said, "My fault, I let go first."

……

My stomach hurts badly, and my heart hurts from the cold.Sheng Wang stood there holding the ice water for a long time before slowly walking forward.

"This school also has a sycamore road similar to the one attached to the high school. The scorching sun shines through the wide branches and leaves, making it blindingly bright. It was midsummer again in a blink of an eye, but he never heard such noisy cicadas."
