Xiangyu

Originally, Shao Junhui and his girlfriend planned to rent a house together with Song Yuqiao, but after seeing the house and hearing the price quoted by the agency, Song Yuqiao knew that Shao Junhui had hesitated.

Song Yuqiao could tell that Shao Junhui's girlfriend was obviously stronger in terms of willingness to rent a house.As for Shao Junhui, Song Yuqiao guessed that his hesitation might have something to do with his family's financial situation.

"I'll go back and talk to my parents. I haven't had time to tell them yet." Shao Junhui smiled embarrassedly, "My dad should be home tonight."

Hearing this, Xie Yunan said a little excitedly: "It seems that I saw your father on TV before. It was when I was interviewing the army of motorcycles returning home."

He smiled more shyly, and said, "Well. Did you watch the news?"

"Well, anyway, it's better than the CCTV news, and it's closer to our life." Xie Yunan said with emotion, "It really takes a long time to come back from Suiwan by motorcycle."

Shao Junhui nodded slightly.

Seeing the tactful way he nodded, Song Yuqiao was even more unsure whether he would share the house with him.

After the five of them ate some snacks in the milk tea shop, they parted ways.

Song Yuqiao went to the optical shop on Jiefang Road, and finally got the newly fitted glasses.

The moment he took off his daily disposable contact lenses and put them back on, Song Yuqiao felt like he was born again.

"Yo, that's true." The owner of the optical shop commented, "You look more mature with glasses on. Without them, you look smaller."

Hearing this, Song Yuqiao was not happy at all, he thanked him, turned and left.

When he came to the bus stop, Song Yuqiao took out the change from his wallet and waited for the bus with his eyes open.

Not long after, he received a call from the courier and learned that the footbath he bought for grandma had arrived, so he asked the courier to leave the package at the gatekeeper of the community.

Grandma knows nothing about online shopping and threatened that she would not sign for the package, so the family usually sends her anything online, and then sends it to her first, and then finds an opportunity to send the items to grandma.

Song Yuqiao thought, this is also good, he can first see if the foot bath works well.

The bus was late, and the people waiting on the platform changed after another, while Song Yuqiao remained under the stop sign.

He was bored, and accidentally glanced at the advertising light box, and saw his own figure reflected on it.

Does it look small?Song Yuqiao was puzzled.He took off his glasses, and even his own figure was blurred.

According to the current momentum, maybe the next semester will be better.Earlier, when Song Yuqiao and Wan Jingshuang met, the first thing they said was that he had grown taller.

Song Yuqiao put on his glasses again.

Unexpectedly, his sight regained clarity, and he saw two men ambiguously hugging on the opposite side of the road.

Song Yuqiao's heart skipped a beat, and soon he noticed that the passers-by around him were staring at them.

The two men were old and young, the older one was about 40 years old, and the younger one was in his early twenties. Before parting, the young man in his 20s touched the older man's face and left.They looked reluctant to leave, and the younger man turned around and blew kisses to the older man before walking far.

Song Yuqiao frowned slightly, seeing the older man turn and go upstairs.

There are many signboards hanging on the wall of the building, which belong to different stores. Song Yuqiao searched among these signboards, and finally found a signboard that said "Xiao Zhoutian Bathing and Leisure Hall".

Little Sunday...

Seeing this name, Qiao Yusong was at a loss.I mean, is there a same-sex public bathhouse called "Little Zhoutian" on Jiefang Road?

If Nick hadn't mentioned it, Qiao Yusong would never have imagined that the "fishing ground" mentioned in the comics would appear locally.And when he searched on the Internet and found a similar answer, he was both shocked and at a loss.

Qiao Yusong never thought that the gay community was so close to him.

He was suddenly a little scared, like a lamb that has been away from the flock for too long, timid and jerky when seeing the flock.he hesitated

Should he get closer, should he blend into that group, and such thoughts were quickly dismissed by him.

Because in the search results with keywords such as "same sex" and "public bathhouse", there are a lot of abuse and incomprehension of homosexuality.Others said that other same-sex bathhouses in the city were raided and banned by the police, so they were closed.

That kind of place shouldn't accept minors.Qiao Yusong closed the search page, picked up the manga that was put aside, and flipped through two pages. For some reason, he didn't want to read it.

Xu Aojun's voice came from downstairs, asking him why he didn't go to cram school.

Qiao Yusong changed his clothes and went downstairs, and was slightly taken aback when he saw Xu Aojun sitting in front of the counter.

Xu Aojun got a new haircut, he looks much younger, and the makeup is extraordinarily meticulous, the eyebrows are not as sharp as usual, probably because of the bangs cut, the eyebrows and eyes have become a lot gentler.Moreover, Xu Aojun wore a new sweater that Qiao Yusong had never seen before, and also put on a wedding ring.

"Hey, lady boss, it looks more beautiful today!" The customer who came to buy cigarettes in the store praised, "Is my husband coming back?"

Because he is a regular customer, Xu Aojun gave him a pack of soft jade stream without asking, and winked at him: "Today."

"Haha, are you planning to add a younger brother to Xiao Song?" The guest tore off the wrapping film of the cigarette, took out the cigarette and put it in his mouth, joking while lighting the cigarette.

Xu Aojun smiled without being ashamed, and replied generously: "I really want to! But the policy doesn't allow it. The family is so poor that there is a leak. Where can I get the money to pay the fine?"

Qiao Yusong stepped forward, interrupted the conversation between the two, and said, "I'm going to a cram school."

"Oh, good." Xu Aojun nodded and reminded him, "Have you brought the tuition fee for next semester? Are you going to pay it?"

"I have." After Qiao Yusong finished answering, he caught sight of the guest's meaningful smile from the corner of his eye.

Xu Aojun confessed: "After class in the morning, come back for dinner! Your father should be back home soon."

"Well, let's go. Goodbye." After Qiao Yusong finished speaking, he walked past the guest with his head down.

He didn't go far when he heard the guest say to Xu Aojun: "Are you still doing tutoring? It's really hard work."

Xu Aojun said with emotion: "There is no way, the grades are poor, and if you don't take tutoring, you won't even be able to pass the entrance exam for a better college."

"I heard that Tanzhou University has set up a three-book college, and it will start recruiting students this year?" the guest asked.

Xu Aojun hurriedly said: "What's the point of reading three books? The graduation certificate is different from others. It's better to go to college!"

The guest said with a smile: "Don't tell me, your family is really willing to spend money on children's education. My kid's grades are at the bottom of the crane, and he has to negotiate fees for high school. I said it's better to just go to a better technical secondary school!" Anyway, I went to high school, and I don’t have much energy if I can’t get into college! Now that I’ve completed my studies in a technical secondary school, I think it’s pretty good to work as a pastry chef in a hotel in Jing’an!”

In a year, Qiao Yusong's family of three spent the most time with Xu Aojun.

Xu Aojun is selfish and selfish, Qiao Yusong thinks he doesn't like her, but there are always times in his life that he admires her so much that he can't hate her.

On the same commercial street, there are many men who go out to work like Qiao Zhenhai.Aside from that, there used to be one at the fast food restaurant across from the grocery store.

It was once, because the store has changed hands, not the original owner.

At first, there was a man who opened the fast food restaurant with his wife. The store was handed over to his wife to take care of it, and he went out of the province to work.Because he was away from home all year round, the couple had very few opportunities to meet each other, so his wife cheated.

The man didn't expect this at first, but when he heard that his wife was pregnant, he was very happy, and even traveled all the way from Suiwan to visit his wife several times.

It wasn't until the child was born that the man discovered the problem: the child was born at full term, but the wife said it was premature.In terms of full-term pregnancy, when the wife was pregnant, the husband was not around at all, so the matter was exposed.

The husband was too wronged and angry, and dropped the child during the dispute with his wife.The child is gone, the wife is seriously injured, the husband is in jail,

The storefront is distributed to others.

It happened three years ago, when Qiao Yusong was still in junior high school.During that time, Qiao Zhenhai seemed to be hit by it, and called home every day, like Chagang.

Probably because of this incident, the relationship between Qiao Zhenhai and his wife is more harmonious than before.

Qiao Yusong guessed: Dad should be very grateful to Mom.Some people appear to be loyal and moral on the surface, but they cheat on each other behind their backs. Some people are full of flair and carelessness, but they only have one person in their hearts. Qiao Yusong feels that his mother is the latter kind of person.

Thinking of seeing his father soon, Qiao Yusong was equally happy and looking forward to it.In all fairness, the relationship between him and Qiao Zhenhai is not particularly close, but they are father and son after all, and they haven't seen each other for a whole year, so they are naturally happy to meet again.

Moreover, it may be that Qiao Yusong didn't feel that Qiao Zhenhai had any shortcomings that he could not accept because he had seen and understood little. On the contrary, Qiao Zhenhai was never picky about his academic performance and never asked him to improve his grades. He felt very comfortable.

Although he had to go to cram school, Qiao Yusong still had two comics in his schoolbag—if he didn't read the newly rented comics all at once, Qiao Yusong would always feel uncomfortable.

Favorite cartoonists are always very slow to publish new books. If you read too fast, there will be no new plots to follow. Qiao Yusong knows this, but he still can't help it.

Qiao Yusong went out early, and when he arrived at the Qixing tuition training class, there were still 10 minutes before class.

He walked into the milk tea shop downstairs and was about to buy a cup of amber milk when suddenly a figure rushed in front of him and shouted to the clerk first: "Have a cup of fresh taro! ——Hey, what do you want?"

Judging from her voice and figure, the person standing in front of Qiao Yusong was clearly a girl, but Qiao Yusong was surprised by her hairstyle—she had a cropped head, and the length was probably shorter than the length required for military training.When Qiao Yusong was dumbfounded, he heard a cold voice behind him, saying: "Kumquat lemon, light sugar, go to ice."

Qiao Yusong looked back and felt that the boy behind him looked very familiar, but his height and face shape were somewhat different from his impression, so he hesitated and said, "Xiao Qiao?"

Song Yuqiao gave him a cold look, but said nothing.

The girl placed the order at the front, looked back at the two of them, and asked Song Yuqiao, "Know each other?"

"I don't know." Song Yuqiao replied indifferently.

Hearing this, Qiao Yusong's heart skipped a beat, and he was immediately extremely embarrassed.

Really forgot?However, they only met once before, if Song Yuqiao didn't remember, it seemed natural.Furthermore, after all, it has been a long time.Is there a week?Thinking of this, Qiao Yusong couldn't help feeling in his heart that Song Yuqiao was indeed in the period of puberty, and his appearance changed every day. In less than a week, a lot of the baby fat on his face had disappeared.

Now that you've forgotten it, there's nothing you can do about it.Qiao Yusong smiled embarrassedly, ordered an order from the clerk, and asked for a glass of amber milk.

"Have you heard when the money will be distributed?" Before the drinks arrived, the girl chatted with Song Yuqiao.

Song Yuqiao shook his head and said, "I haven't heard of it."

"Big money, I don't care about it." The girl joked, "I have to ask after class today. If they don't give me money, I will definitely not come. It's better to write the paper at home instead of wasting time. "

Qiao Yusong had long heard that the students in the Xueba Public Welfare Class not only do not need to pay the tuition fees of the cram school, but can also get a "scholarship". Now listening to the chat between the two, he found that this is indeed the case, and he suddenly felt a little indescribable.He couldn't help but wonder if part of the "tuition fees" he carried with him would end up in the hands of their "student masters"?

Probably Qiao Yusong was too focused on listening to them, and soon, he found that the girl looked at him curiously.His face flushed, and he quickly looked away, but unconsciously glanced at Song Yuqiao.

Song Yuqiao glanced back at him, took the drink from the girl's hand, turned and left.

The girl looked at Song Yuqiao, then at Qiao Yusong, caught up with the former, and asked, "You really don't know me?"

Song Yuqiao didn't answer.

At this time, the clerk of the milk tea shop reminded Qiao Yusong: "Customer, your drink is ready."

Facing the drink in front of him, Qiao Yusong couldn't help but regret buying it when he thought of its price.

Xu Aojun complained all day long that he was poor, but in Qiao Yusong's view, his family's economic conditions were already at a well-off level.12 yuan for a cup of milk tea is certainly not an unaffordable price for Qiao Yusong.However, in life, there are always some small moments that give Qiao Yusong the idea of ​​spending less money.

Such thoughts usually don't last long, after all, their family is really not poor.

However, Qiao Yusong didn't think that the idea this time was because of Song Yuqiao, because he no longer remembered his Song Yuqiao.

Qiao Yusong thought about it carefully, maybe it was because Song Yuqiao's mother and his mother were playing mahjong at the same card table that day, which gave him an illusion.But if he pays attention to the topics of those aunts, he should be able to detect the difference between them.

At least, Song Yuqiao is a child worthy of his mother's pride.

Qiao Yusong thought to himself: Although Aunt Zhou Meiqi disliked Song Yuqiao in her words at that time, she still revealed her pride.Song Yuqiao must have been loved very much at home, that's why he developed that "defiant" personality.Unlike him, even if he couldn't help but lose his temper with Xu Aojun occasionally, he still lacked confidence.

Qiao Yusong came to the classroom of the top-notch Peiyou class sullenly, and was stopped outside the door before he entered.

Seeing Huang Xinfan standing in front of him, Qiao Yusong walked aside.

Huang Xinfan also moved aside, intentionally standing in front of him.

Qiao Yusong frowned and looked at him in disgust.

"Didn't I tell you not to come to class?" Huang Xinfan looked at him with the same disgust, "Can't you understand human language?"

"You opened the cram school?" After Qiao Yusong finished speaking, he wanted to walk around him, but he blocked him again.Qiao Yusong took a deep breath.

"I didn't open it. But you are in our class, which affects our mood in class. We all spent money on tutoring. We are not in the mood for class, and the tutoring has no effect. Are you responsible?" Huang Xinfan raised his hand on the door frame, Thumbs up and compared to the classroom.

Qiao Yusong saw some students who usually had a good time with Huang Xinfan whistled at him and booed him.

Sitting on the desk, Guo Mengyang took off his earphones and said to him, "Anyway, you are reading comics in the classroom. Why waste the money at home and affect our class?"

Just kidding, it's his thing to read comics, how did it affect their class?Qiao Yusong knew that the "manga" they were talking about was not just "manga".Ever since Huang Xinfan discovered that he was reading Danmei manga last semester, this kind of exclusion and expulsion began.

Qiao Yusong was too lazy to argue with them, and stood firmly at the door of the classroom, neither going in nor leaving.

Not long after, the bell for class rang.

The teacher of the cram school came to the classroom and saw Huang Xinfan blocking the classroom door, and asked, "Why don't you go in? Class is over."

Huang Xinfan had no choice but to cast a dissatisfied glance at Qiao Yusong, glared at him viciously, and then turned back to his seat.

Qiao Yusong sneered in his heart and walked into the classroom.

Not long after he took his seat, he heard hearty laughter from outside the classroom door. The laughter seemed a little "wavey", and he could tell it was coming from a far away place.

Qiao Yusong looked out in surprise, and found that it was the girl she met in the milk tea shop, and besides Song Yuqiao, there was another boy with her.

Classes have already started, but these "student masters" are still walking to the classroom in a leisurely manner, talking and laughing.Watching them pass by the corridor, Qiao Yusong was in a complicated mood.

Suddenly, without knowing why, Song Yuqiao took a look into the classroom of their class.

Qiao Yusong blinked in surprise.

But he didn't know what Song Yuqiao wanted to see. After a while, he looked away and went upstairs with his friends.

"Hey, that boy with glasses just now is a bit handsome." Behind Qiao Yusong, a girl whispered to another girl.

Another girl smiled and said, "A little short?"

"I can see that I haven't grown taller, potential stocks, potential stocks." She said nonchalantly.

"Huh? I'm already in high school, and I still have potential stocks?" The companion didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

She snorted and said, "He is Song Yuqiao from No. [-] Middle School. You don't know? How about a genius boy? He's only fourteen. Fourteen is considered high!"

The companion made an exaggerated voice of fear: "Hey! You love Fourteen too, pedophile!"

"Hey, that's called 'children'? Do you have any misunderstandings about 'children'?" She was obviously unhappy to be charged with such a "crime" for no reason. "Chinese is so poor, no wonder I need tutoring."

Speaking of tutoring, how many people who come to this classroom are serious about tutoring?Qiao Yusong doubted this.He felt that this place was very similar to his class in No. [-] Middle School, with elements of "not seeking to make progress" floating in the air.

In class, the teacher's enthusiasm can only last for half a class, and after half a class, his enthusiasm is extinguished by the students' perfunctory.

Of course, there must be someone in the classroom who is paying attention to the class.However, wearing earphones to listen to music, immersing oneself in reading novels, chatting... as long as there are only one or two such students, it is enough to make the teacher lose interest in class.

Tutoring institutions are not schools after all, and teachers are irresponsible for students' grades, so there are very few teachers who will repeatedly remind students to pay attention to classroom discipline.Students think all day long about how to destroy the tutoring institutions that collaborate with their parents to occupy their spare time. Teachers think about how to cooperate with the institutions to select a few elites for training, and the rest are "cannon fodder" for making money.Here, students do not have the self-consciousness of students, and teachers do not have the dignity of teachers.

The two girls sitting behind Qiao Yusong spent the entire class discussing the plot of the domineering president and the cancer heroine in the Taiwanese idol drama.

Usually at this time, Qiao Yusong would often choose to read comics to pass the time.But this time, he chose to listen to the lectures.He wasn't sure whether it was because of Huang Xinfan's ridicule earlier, or because of Song Yuqiao who passed by the window.
