soft hedgehog

In Pingcheng at the end of July, the dog-day sun is like an oiled scone, covering the ground with steaming heat like a mask covering the cheeks.

On the gray brick path with few leaves to block the sun, three young people who looked like tender chickens squatted for half an hour. The heat almost melted on the side of the road and turned into a pool of asphalt.

"Are you here yet? My old lady is going to be hot."

Zheng Beibei, who wasn't old at all, was the first to scold her.

At the age of eighteen, she looks just like a flower, but it is a pity that she speaks vulgarly, behaves vulgarly, and has a rough personality.In short, everything is thick except the pores are not thick.But in order to support her good brother, today she patiently put on a smooth eye makeup for this summer, with pharaoh gold in the fly green.

Before going out, she admired herself in the mirror and gave a high evaluation of "punk neutral". It's more like soot that hasn't been wiped off.Seeing that the self-portrait was useless, she pushed her black six-hole Martin boots high on the traffic light seat, and carefully pressed the oil on her nose with a crumpled tissue in her hand.

"Yeah, why haven't you come yet? Feel the pulse for me. Is it possible that I have a heat stroke..." A 170-jin plump young man next to him was so flustered that he couldn't speak.

This person's name is Yang Xiao, and he is the protagonist of this hardcore outdoor event.It is said that his mother loved to watch Jin Yong when she was pregnant with him, and the name was decided when he was only three months old, but he was born with nothing to do with the suave and suave real Yang Xiaofeng.The lack of appearance is second to none, the key is that the personality is also different. She is always submissive and cautious, and even asks her friends to accompany her younger sister.

Right now, the girl hasn't shown up yet, so he's already panicked.The creaking nests on both sides were wet like ice packs inside, and I was so stubborn that I didn't dare to show any clues, and my back was even wet with sweat. Fortunately, the short sleeves were ink blue, so I couldn't see it.

"What are you panicking about?"

As soon as a clear voice came out, Zheng Beibei and Yang Xiao lowered their heads at the same time and looked at the ground.

The boy squatting by the side of the road was also less than twenty, with thin shoulders, a half-open skeleton, and a folded body like a budding flower.Looking up from the slender neck, the delicate oval face is only the size of a palm. The skin is as white as a sauna with a little powder, and a few bangs cover the eyebrows, making it look even more unruffled.

He is obviously a standard handsome boy, but the eyes under his eyebrows are full of eagerness, like black stones flowing through the bottom of the river.

Just because of this pair of eyes, Junlang has become a smart beauty.

"Peace of mind naturally cools."

The ice cream stick he had just eaten was still dangling up and down in his mouth, so his speech was slurred.After shaking for a few times, he spit it out again with a pop, quickly caught it with his right hand, stood up and knocked Yang Xiao on the head.

"Before you suffer from heatstroke, take some time to think about what to do if she rejects you."

He hit the nail on the head and mercilessly hit the heart of a good friend with one sentence.

"Don't mention it," Yang Xiao frowned, "The more you talk about it, the more nervous I become... Will she really reject me?"

The boy turned his face to look at him, and then clicked his tongue twice: "It's hard to say."

"Hi——" Zheng Beibei stepped back on the ground with his right leg, helping to add fuel to the story, "I lost a good person card the size of a bowl, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Yang Xiao pursed his mouth, and almost cried on the spot: "Stop talking sarcastic words, don't think I'm stupid, you can't tell that you are mocking me. But Ji Qingyang is different from you, she has a kind heart and three views, she will understand appreciated."

"That's enough," the young man immediately responded, "Your three senses are quite upright, but it's a pity that your five senses are not good enough. It's more difficult to appreciate."

Zheng Beibei laughed out loud, and after laughing, he fanned himself with a handkerchief: "It's alright, don't say a few words, your mouth is really bad, don't let Fatty suffer from heatstroke, we won't be able to move back."

Just as Yang Xiao was about to cast a grateful look, she continued: "Besides, girls don't appreciate his looks, so why don't they all appreciate his literary talent?"

After speaking, he blinked fiercely at him.

Yang Xiao was furious, holding the love letter he had prepared in advance and yelling: "I knew I wouldn't show it to you, what's wrong with me copying the lyrics? It's all my heartfelt words to Ji Qingyang!"

The more he talked, the more excited he became, and his whole body trembled.

Ji Qingyang is the class flower he had a crush on in high school for three years, and his family is a contracted project, commonly known as the contractor.It was smooth sailing at first, but unexpectedly, during the winter, a worker died unexpectedly on the construction site. Although they were all fellow villagers, there was still a commotion in the end, and the Letters and Visits Department was alarmed.Her father couldn't get a new job for a while and had to pay off the debts, and the family's wealth gradually weakened.Because Ji Qingyang did not do well in the college entrance examination, Yang Xiao was afraid that her father would take her back to her hometown to reorganize the old rivers and mountains, so she hurriedly copied the lyrics to express her love.

"Hey," Zheng Beibei also thought of this, "You said that she was going to leave the other day, is it true or not?"

"I don't know." He shook his head depressed. "Her share is already enough to get the second book, and it may not be necessary to repeat it at home."

Go home and repeat the study, if you can improve it by [-] or [-] points, it will be different.

When it comes to the college entrance examination, these three prospective college students who have just finished their experience have their own concerns, and even Zheng Beibei, who is usually the most talkative, has no words.

The three of them can be regarded as close buddies, an onion growing in a family courtyard, and their parents are teachers of the primary school affiliated to No. 5 Middle School.The bandit-like Zheng Beibei is not tall, and he wears Martin boots in summer for the sake of style. He lives on the 4th floor of Building 7. Because he fights and fights injustices, he is nicknamed Zheng Nvxia; Yang Xiao, who is so nervous and sweats, lives in a Building No. [-] next to Beibei has no special features anywhere, and everyone calls him fat; and the one who is the most beautiful and has a small temper is named Ji Tong. He didn't live in the courtyard when he was a child. I moved in with my mother after my parents divorced. Before that, I only stayed there during winter and summer vacations. Now I live downstairs in Beibei.

The college entrance examination that just passed was like a watershed, separating the lives of these three good friends.Ji Tong is smart and good at reading. He was admitted by the School of Foreign Languages ​​with high scores, and he is about to learn French, which will divide the world into yin and yang.Zheng Beibei was a bit inferior to him, but not bad. He chose a science and engineering university in this city to study mechanical engineering. The whole family was overjoyed, thinking that he would not have to worry about finding a partner in the future.Yang Xiao's brain is stupid, and he slipped to learn fashion design, which is far from his own temperament. Fortunately, he is optimistic, and he is good if he has books.

Although everything is okay, it is not easy to think about getting together all day long in the future, and the three of them inevitably feel awkward when they think of this.

I haven't tasted the age of real parting, and I feel that the sky is falling when I am separated from each other by the bus for four or 10 minutes.

Who knows, I haven't figured out what the taste of sadness is. Under the big pagoda tree in the distance, a girl in a floral skirt with a milky white background is walking gracefully.

"Here we come!" Ji Tong cheered up instantly, patted Yang Xiao's arm, "Ji Qingyang!"

"Come, come?"

Yang Xiao just glanced at it and immediately panicked, wiped his face with tissue randomly, switched the envelope from left hand to right hand and then from right hand to left hand, watching his crush get closer and closer, feeling more and more cowardly.

Zheng Beibei slapped him hard on the back: "Straighten up, go!"

"She, who is that person next to her?" He asked in a hurry, wanting to step forward but then stopped at the same pace.

After asking this question, Ji Tong realized that there was someone beside her.

It was a man, tall, at least 1 meters tall, standing quite close to Ji Qingyang, but his face was blurred.

"It doesn't matter who he is, he's the first person all the way." Ji Tong saw the opportunity fleetingly, "Isn't it over if you stop Ji Qingyang?"

"I..." Yang Xiao fell ill, "It's so embarrassing."

His scalp was numb.

Zheng Beibei was speechless: "Poop, you think the toilet smells bad, you deserve to be suffocated!"

The words are rough and the rationale is not rough.The two pushed him to the middle of the road together, which quickly caught Ji Qingyang's attention.

"Yang Xiao?"

She was one of the few people who didn't call him fat.

Yang Xiao's body leaned back stiffened for a moment, and after a few seconds he shook his right hand: "Hi~" His smile was uglier than crying.

"Why are you here?" Ji Qingyang recognized the three of them and nodded their heads one by one.

"We..." Yang Xiao looked back at his friend begging for help, and the lips of the two behind him moved quickly, silently urging him to go up quickly.

"No, I don't dare," the water in his mind was so anxious that he squeezed the letter in his hand with deep thumb marks.

The more I think about it, the more inappropriate it becomes, the word ugly is even uglier, and the sentence "love makes me dazzled" is too greasy, I should have wiped it out if I knew it!

After hesitating for a moment, he unexpectedly stuffed the letter into the hand of Ji Tong who was closest to him——

You go for me!

Then with his back to the girl, he didn't dare to turn around, cowardly like a quail.

"Damn." Zheng Beibei was startled.

Ji Tong, who was ordered in danger, stared wide-eyed, and couldn't keep his eyes on the fat man who was winking at him with a cannibalistic expression: I will also marry you in the future? !

Hurry up, hurry up, hurry up, the fat man urged him with his double chin in his mouth, as if chanting sutras, to save his fleeting gall.

"What are you discussing?" Ji Qingyang looked at her with a smile.

"..."

With the word "righteousness" at the fore, Ji Tong decided to go all out.He walked up to Ji Qingyang without looking sideways, put his left hand in his pocket, and stretched his right hand forward, without saying a word.

Can't pull it.

Ji Qingyang froze for a moment: "For me?"

"Look for yourself, your name is on the envelope." He said angrily when he was awkward.

"What are you doing for me?"

"...Think about it yourself."

Yang Xiao, who was observing the situation from behind, almost fainted, was rescued by Zheng Beibei who pinched him.

"My letter...is not signed..." He looked at Beibei and said tremblingly.

Burning the lights at night to copy [-] lines of lyrics, writing more than ten sheets of letter paper wasted to get the true feelings of thousands of characters, in the end I became a ghostwriter.

Even academic fraud can be punished these days, so the ghostwriting of love letters must also be punished lightly?

Ji Tong's back was stared coldly by a resentful gaze, and he felt as if he had forgotten something, and he copied it in his pocket to play silent.

Suddenly there was a muffled laugh from the opposite side, which was low and introverted, followed by two coughs to suppress laughter.

He glanced over, and it was the passerby next to the heroine.

Straight back, bookish short hair, high nose bridge, silhouette transitioning from a boy to a man, and smiling single eyelids under the lens, his modesty is irritating.

"What are you laughing at?" He asked, frowning.

The boy's expression was obviously paused, and then he thought he was funny, so he looked at him carefully: "You have interesting words, I can't laugh?"

The tone completely treats him like a child.Ji Tong was young, and his forehead burst into flames.

"Would you like to listen to cross talk?"

He is a well-known bully at school. Although Ji Qingyang is not in his class, she also knows that he is not easy to mess with. Seeing this situation, she hastily tugged on the sleeves of the boys around her to persuade him: "Brother Yuchen..."

Be intimate.Yang Xiao rolled his eyes and almost pouted again.

The man slowly restrained his smile and said, "Okay, I didn't mean anything malicious, so I apologize to you. But it's best to be gentle when confessing to a girl."

"Confession?" Ji Qingyang reacted and looked at the envelope in his hand, the pink heart on the seal was quite eye-catching.

But it's always nice to be confessed.She became shy all of a sudden, and didn't dislike the sweat and love on it, so she put it into the small fabric satchel with dignity, "I'll take a look when I get back..." She paused and tightened the strap of the bag, her eyelids rolled up quickly Glancing at Ji Tong, "Thank you anyway."

"..." Ji Tongchu didn't look at her.

"Then let's chat." The boy next to him was very interesting, "Qingyang, I'm leaving first, and if you want to learn later, you can call me a day in advance."

When Ji Qingyang heard this, her face blushed and she glanced at Ji Tong who was playing with her wooden figurine, bit her lip and turned around: "Brother Yuchen, I'll go with you."

The hot wind blowing on the sidewalk, the corners of the girl's skirt fluttered slightly, and the small satchel on the back of her waist was bouncing.

Brother Yuchen, I feel like I've heard this name somewhere before.

Ji Tong was beaten up by someone before he was successful in his career, and he walked back to his friend bravely, "Walk around and go home to turn on the air conditioner, next time something like this happens, you invite me with a big sedan chair and I won't come out, it's embarrassing ..."

Yang Xiao floated behind him like a ghost: "Did you realize that you forgot an important sentence?"

"Is there such a thing?" Ji Tong was quite confident.

"You fucking forgot to say that I wrote the letter!" Yang Xiao jumped up.

"Uh," Ji Tong lowered his arrogance, "Next time, I will definitely remember next time."

"You buried my love with me!" Yang Xiao wanted to strangle him to death.

"Okay, okay," Zheng Beibeixin said that he would have to trouble the criminal police if he killed someone, and he hugged one of them, "What's the hurry? It's only a dime to send a text message to make it clear. Besides, fat man, your handwriting is so ugly, you can write on the blackboard." I was so scared that people wiped it overnight, but who in your class can't recognize it?"

After finally seizing the opportunity to rule Ji Tong, Yang Xiao still wanted to continue to be arrogant, but he couldn't refute the ugly character, so he finally fell silent.

The three of them blamed each other for throwing the pot away, and walked towards the No. [-] Middle School family courtyard in a noisy manner.

Halfway through, Zheng Beibei suddenly remembered something, and asked leisurely, "By the way, Ji Tongtong, is your cheap brother here?"

As soon as this incident was mentioned, Ji Tong's original smile immediately collapsed.

His parents divorced three years ago, and this year his mother got married to a fruit seller somehow, and is going to remarry, and his stepfather will move in with his wife.It was barely a good thing, but last month his mother suddenly announced that the son born to his stepfather and his ex-wife would also come with him.

This cheap brother was four years older than him, and he had never seen each other before he was studying in a foreign university. He didn't know whether it was good or bad, he only knew that he would move when he returned to Pingcheng during the summer vacation.

Ji Tong felt that it was tolerable or unbearable, the father could bear it and the son could not bear it.Come, come, what son do you bring?

He stretched out his hand to the side and pulled off a leaf, and replied bitterly to Zheng Beibei: "No, let me beat it out if you come."

Beibei snorted: "With your thin arms and legs, it's not certain who hits who. Besides, I haven't met each other yet, how do you know that he can't be your good brother?"

The last three words caused a chill.

"Bullshit!" Ji Tong tossed the leaf in his hand forward, disdainful, "He is worthy of being my brother? I don't like to hang out with my cousins. If someone who is not a relative or acquaintance moves here, who will I be ashamed of?"

His mouth is spoiled by his parents.

His father is a businessman, and the foreign trade company is booming, and he has never been treated badly in terms of material since he was a child.Later, I found a younger one and got married again. His mother was strong and took him out of the big villa quickly. Although he was not allowed to study in a private school with a tuition fee of hundreds of thousands a year, he was still not expensive in terms of food and clothing. shorter than him.

So he never asks for bargains, including his brother.

Yang Xiao recovered from the previous setbacks, and continued: "You can't say that, the most important thing is that your mother is happy, I think you should stop thinking about doing things against him as soon as possible."

Ji Tong's pretty face turned cold, and he snorted deep in the root of his nose.

"She's happy and I'm not happy. If I'm not happy, no one can be happy. After all, she is also my mother, not his mother. I want to use my mother to crush me..." He kicked a stone with his right foot, " There are no doors."

This answer is not surprising.Zheng Beibei and Yang Xiao shrugged and smiled, and stopped talking.

The road is smooth and smooth, and it is dazzling.At the end of July, which was sweltering and hot, three and a half-year-old teenagers walked together on the long camphor road, and the end of the road could not be seen at a glance.
