Shao Wu and Yang Shuyi each had a piece of bread, eating as they walked.This bread was more unpalatable than Shao Wu imagined. The texture of the meat floss was rough, almost like grass, and the bread was also hard.

Shao Wu felt that his cheeks were sore from chewing, and he thought to himself that this bread would not be expired, right?

"If you really can't eat it, forget it," Yang Shuyi said, "It really doesn't taste good."

"Hey, it's okay..."

"I don't know how long it's been." Yang Shuyi took a sip of mineral water, "The Internet cafes are full of students, they usually buy crispy noodles, and few people buy bread."

"Eat crispy noodles as a meal?"

"Ah."

Shao Wu murmured: "... Is that enough to eat?"

The two of them chatted and walked to the school, and they arrived in a short while.At this time, the students had almost left, and only the guard was still turning on the light.Shao Wu rolls out the bike from Yang Bao.Putting the schoolbag on his back, there was still a stabbing pain on his back. Shao Wu's face was expressionless, and his body trembled quietly in the darkness.

"Are you still going back to the Internet cafe?" Shao Wu asked.

"I'm going to another one."

"okay……"

Shao Wu wanted to ask Yang Shuyi why he didn't go home, but obviously Yang Shuyi didn't want to say.

"Then I'm going back," Shao Wu stepped on his bicycle, "You...bye." He wanted to say you remember to read my draft, but then he thought that Yang Shuyi would not even return home, and would spend the night in a smoky Internet cafe , see what draft.

"Goodbye." Yang Shuyi waved to Shao Wu.

When I got home, my parents hadn't come back. Tonight is my dad's class reunion.Shao Wu locked the door, opened the closet, and slowly took off his T-shirt facing the full-length mirror on the back of the closet door.

On the underside of his left shoulder blade, there was a tiny gash, really like a spot - but deep, and the blood came out, soaking a small piece of fabric.Shao Wu was a little surprised, he didn't expect to bleed, he thought it was a bruise at most.Now it looked like the bump on the wall was a nail, but he didn't feel any particular pain when he was pushed up.

With his hands behind his back, Shao Wu wiped red medicine on the wound, and put on a band-aid.I didn't feel any special pain at that time, maybe it was because the reflex arc was too long, but now I feel it.Even if I moved my shoulder or even lifted my left hand, the wound would crack and hurt.

But the wound hurts, and Shao Wu always thinks of Yang Bao in his hand in the night.

After twelve o'clock, Shao Wu had finished his homework and washed the bloody T-shirt, and his parents came back.

Shaowu's father is the deputy director of the Land Bureau, his mother is the director of the kindergarten, and they are college classmates.Shao Wu seldom heard his mother mention her first marriage, but only vaguely heard from his grandmother that it was his mother's colleague who introduced the man surnamed Wang to her.

The mother's cheeks were flushed, and she patted Shao Wu's head: "Have you finished your homework?"

"Um... Mom, are you drunk?"

"I'm not drunk, I just drank a drop..."

"Okay! Go to sleep now!" My father helped my mother into the bedroom, settled down, and came out and smiled helplessly at Shao Wu, "Your mother really only drank a little, her drinking capacity... well, you Go to sleep too."

"Dad," Shao Wu glanced at the bedroom and saw that his mother had fallen asleep with her eyes closed, so she whispered, "I met someone today..."

"Huh? Who?" Dad didn't pay much attention, and asked while pouring water.

"Wang Yujun, just...my brother."

"Did you meet him?!" Dad paused and looked at Shao Wu suddenly.

"Ah, yes, I went to the Internet cafe to play songs on the MP3," Shao Wu lied, "I just met him. He seems to have changed a lot, I don't know—"

"Why don't you go home after school and go to an Internet cafe!" Dad interrupted Shao Wu, frowning, "Didn't I tell you, what song do you want to download, I'll get it for you from the unit, just tell me... ...How did you meet Wang Yujun? What did he say?"

Shao Wu was stunned, he could barely hold back the words, he shook his head and said, "Wang Yujun was drunk, so he didn't say anything."

"He didn't say anything?" Dad asked. "Is he alone?"

"……Yes."

"That's good. Don't go to Internet cafes in the future. Do you hear me? Those Internet cafes are very messy. I just heard from my colleagues last month that someone in the Internet cafe in Fengjie had a fight and killed two——and Wang Yujun. Dad sighed, "This kid is too ignorant, don't worry about his affairs."

"Oh, good," Shao Wu nodded obediently, "Then I'll sleep."

"Why don't we install a computer at home." Dad said to himself while holding a water glass.

Shao Wu went back to the room, closed the door and turned off the lights, leaving only an orange eye-protecting desk lamp.Because of the wound on his back, he had to lie on the bed.

It's so strange, Shao Wu thought, Dad's reaction is too strange.

His family's parent-child relationship has always followed the democratic line, and his grades have been good since he was a child, so his parents are more at ease with him. Most of his requests are "negotiable".For example, in the third year of junior high, everyone went to cram school all at once, and my father asked Shao Wu if he would go. Shao Wu said he didn't think it was necessary, and his father waved his hand: "Then I won't go, and I'll catch up on sleep at home."

Another example is the matter of going to an Internet cafe to download songs. My dad knew about it, but he never stopped him.

Is it because of Wang Yujun?definitely is.

In Shao Wu's mind, Wang Yujun's black necklace and afro head that shot straight into the sky appeared again. He didn't know what Wang Yujun had done that was "too ignorant" that his father would be so nervous.

He didn't even know what his father was nervous about.

Thinking of Wang Yujun, I couldn't help but turn my mind to Yang Yi playing games now, right?Fantasy Westward Journey?Will he sleep for a while when he is tired from playing?Just lying on the table in the Internet cafe and sleeping?Shao Wu buried his face in the pillow, and the cassia seeds filled in the pillow rustled softly. His mother said that the cassia seeds can improve eyesight, clear the liver and help sleep. But this night, Shao Wu had a rare insomnia.

Lying on the bed, he thought of Yang Shuyi over and over again. For a while, it was Yang Shuyi's focused profile while playing games, and for a while, it was Yang Shuyi's smile in the dark.I don't know what time it was, Shao Wu finally fell asleep and became unconscious, thinking, why is he always thinking about Yang Shuyi?

Just because Yang Shuyi is not easy to get close to?Just because Yang Shuyi felt pitiful eating steamed buns worth thirty cents each?

The next morning, Shao Wu walked into the classroom with two dark circles under his eyes.

Yang Shuyi still arrived earlier than him, but he was not sleeping.Shao Wu couldn't help walking towards him, only to see Shao Wu's draft paper spread out on his desk.

"You really see it?" Shao Wu asked in surprise.

"Didn't I promise you?"

"...Well, I'll tell you during the big break." Yang Shuyi looked energetic, but when he got close, Shao Wu discovered the unshaven cyan stubble on his chin.

"Yang Shuyi, I want to ask you something..." Shao Wu couldn't hold back.

"what?"

The two came to the balcony, closed the door, and faced the rising sun and the rustling morning wind.

"How much do you know about Wang Yujun?" Shao Wu murmured, "I haven't seen him for several years. I heard that he works in Chengdu...Why is he in an Internet cafe?"

"Wang Yujun..." Yang Shuyi was silent for a moment, and very rarely, his expression showed a bit of hesitation. Shao Wu was in a state of anxiety, when he suddenly heard Yang Shuyi say, "He is gay, that is, he doesn't like women... often go to that Internet cafe Everybody knows him like that. It's disgusting."

Shao Wu was startled, and the three big characters "gay" came down like a machete. He suffered this knife, and before he had time to think about it, he blurted out and asked, "Do you also think homosexuality is disgusting?"

Yang Shuyi looked at Shao Wu with a dazed expression: "...um."
