Ride boat

The end of the term has passed, but Zheng Xiaozhou's vacation is over forever.

He began to work day and night, took more and more tutoring classes, and even worked part-time in a 24-hour convenience store at night.He divided the money he earned into three parts, one part was remitted to Zheng Xiuyi's account, the other part was used as living expenses for himself, and the remaining part was saved for emergencies.

After that incident, Zheng Xiuyi moved out of the house that Yu Wei had arranged before.The money Zheng Xiaozhou remitted to her was spent, and she rented a house in the suburbs.She and Zheng Shusheng continued to work in the restaurant and made an appointment with a psychologist for Zheng Linyin on time every week.The money Yu Wei paid in advance can see a doctor for a long time, no matter how tough Zheng Xiuyi is, she still has a weak spine in this matter.The world's top psychiatrist, with an hourly consultation fee of tens of thousands of yuan, calculated for a course of treatment, she has to work for more than 70 years without eating or drinking.

Zheng Xiaozhou also understood this truth, but he still couldn't overcome that desperate hatred.He still wanted that man to die.Yu Wei didn't contact him after that day, but an MMS message from an unfamiliar number was a photo.

The picture is very dark.Zheng Xiaozhou recognized that person as Yu Wei.He was lying on the bed, his cheeks sunken slightly, the gauze over his eyes was not removed, and he was lifeless. The person outside the camera stretched out a hand, pressed his arm, and injected him with something.

Zheng Xiaozhou blocked that number, but after that, new numbers sent photos every day. Yu Wei looked thinner and thinner, but this had nothing to do with Zheng Xiaozhou.

He changed his phone number.This time there was no MMS, and after about a week, a text message came over:

It seems that everything is back to square one.are you happy?

I am also happy.

But not too happy.

Zheng Xiaozhou thinks this person is crazy.He suspected that it was Shen Sirong's fault, so he dialed back, wanting to question him directly.The call was connected almost instantly.

"Now I have nothing to do with him." Zheng Xiaozhou explained patiently. "He's yours now, don't fucking bother me anymore, understand?"

There was silence for a long time, and Shen Sirong's soft voice sounded a little sad: "Brother Yu Wei, Xiao Zhou said that you have nothing to do with each other. What should I do? Brother Yu Wei, you are so pitiful."

Zheng Xiaozhou frowned, suppressed his anger and said, "Yu Wei? Can you take care of him? Don't disturb my life anymore, okay? I beg you."

Shen Sirong sobbed softly over there, sounding as sad as a dead mother: "What can we do? Xiao Zhou told us not to disturb his life. Brother Wei, aren't you sad? I'm so sad."

Zheng Xiaozhou began to feel that Shen Sirong was alone there, directing and acting on his own.He was getting bored and was about to hang up the phone when he heard a hoarse voice from the receiver.

"Ok."

Yu Wei's voice.

Zheng Xiaozhou froze for a moment, then Shen Sirong started giggling in the receiver.He gasped for a while, but his voice slowly became clear: "You never know how lucky you are. Zheng Xiaozhou. You never know."

The other side hung up without any warning. Zheng Xiaozhou didn't understand what Shen Sirong's last sentence meant, and he didn't want to think about it. Anyway, Shen Sirong did not harass him anymore. Zheng Xiaozhou felt very happy with this result. satisfy.What they wish is their business, not his.He no longer wants to have anything to do with these two people.

The winter vacation is coming, and the student dormitory has become empty within two days, only a few students staying overnight are left, and they occasionally meet when they go to the bathroom.The house became less popular and became very cold. Zheng Xiaozhou bought an electric heater, and occasionally put it at the foot of the bed when he went back to the dormitory to rest, so that he could sleep more comfortably.

Zheng Xiaozhou began to get used to drinking the hot water in the thermos.

The hot water made his stomach feel better.Stomach disease is really scary. You think you are healthy, and you are not afraid of eating hot pot and cold drinks. You really know what death is like when you get sick.

Zheng Xiaozhou doesn't know when he got stomach problems. This kind of disease makes people honest, and they will be careful about their eating habits, be careful not to sit for a long time and keep exercising.Zheng Xiaozhou feels that his life has gradually stabilized, and it doesn't matter if he is exhausted from working every day. He is now very afraid of the real peace.

Once he calmed down, he felt that his brain became very heavy, his left chest was oppressed, and he began to think about things uncontrollably, and he felt out of breath when he thought about it.People who always fall asleep when they touch the pillow become poor sleepers, always have nightmares, can wake up several times a night, and tear troughs have come out after two months.

So the bgm of Lawson's Rotten Street and the lingering smell of instant noodles might make him feel better.

Zheng Xiuyi still did not reply to his message.His long green dialog has remained in place.This year should be the New Year by myself.

But there's nothing to be hypocritical about. When I chose to take this path, I had already expected such an end.This road has always been difficult to walk, the general environment does not allow it, and the older generation does not understand, so this situation is expected, and there is nothing to be hypocritical about.

Even if he didn't go home for the New Year, his sister might feel a little sad, since he was a family celebrating the New Year together, he couldn't think of any reason to tell Zheng Linyin why he couldn't go back to celebrate the New Year this year.Maybe Zheng Xiuyi will think of it for him.

He saved up money and went to the mall to buy a long trench coat. It was a highly saturated maple leaf red. His sister had fair skin, so it would definitely complement her complexion.He looked it up, and the temperature was more than ten degrees during the two days of the Spring Festival, so it was just right to wear this.By the way, he bought a pair of black lambskin boots. The size 35 shoes were a little hard to find. He waited in the mall all afternoon before ordering them. The shopping guide saw that he was handsome and sweet, so he gave him the membership price.Zheng Xiaozhou bought another beige knitted dress. His sister looks good in a high collar. To be honest, he is so big, whether it is a celebrity or an Internet celebrity, I have never seen a girl who looks better than her sister.

He carefully packed these clothes and sent them to the restaurant where Zheng Shusheng worked, avoiding Zheng Xiuyi and handing over the clothes to him.

????????

Zheng Shusheng kept rubbing his wet hands on the apron, and was so nervous that he couldn't turn his head.He stuffed his clothes into his big backpack, not daring to look up at Zheng Xiaozhou.

On New Year's Eve, Zheng Xiaozhou ate dumplings with strange fillings in the cafeteria.The aunt who cooks is a local, and she has a strong resentment for being on duty on New Year's Eve. Every student who goes to her window to get dumplings dare not look up at her, but just puts her head down and leaves obediently. Eating your own meal in silence at the scattered dining tables.Zheng Xiaozhou stopped after eating more than 30 dumplings, and he didn't taste the filling of the dumplings until the end.

By the time we got back to the dormitory, it was already dark.There is no work to do on New Year's Eve, but the Spring Festival Gala can be watched, but after Zhao Moushan quit the Spring Festival Gala stage, Zheng Xiaozhou has no interest in watching it anymore.

He still remembers that when he was young, during the Chinese New Year in Qiyuan, he would always play with Zhu Ming in that kind of cannon-wiping and sky-swiping monkey. You will be scolded for anything.The courage is really very small.

The children were playing with small firecrackers here, and the adults set off the double sound and the earth red in front of the house. The crackling was so loud that they had to walk around for dinner at noon.

For the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening, Zheng Xiuyi offered all kinds of food to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva at home. Zheng Xiaozhou always felt that the cakes before the Bodhisattva's table were particularly delicious.In the evening, when the mutton stuffed dumplings made by Zheng Xiuyi were on the table, it was the time when Zhao Moushan's sketch started.At this time, the sound of firecrackers outside the window would be extremely loud and annoying. Zheng Linyin had no choice but to turn up the volume of the TV and carefully read the subtitles under the screen. The whole family was laughing while eating dumplings.

What did Wang Zengqi say?The family sits idle, and the lights are amiable.

Zheng Xiaozhou sat at the desk for a while, got up and poured himself a cup of hot water.Pull out the drawer and turn out the CFA textbooks, and start reading down line by line.He groped in the drawer for a red pen, but found a small, sleek object.When I took it to my eyes, it was a pink lip balm.

He looked at the lipstick blankly for a while, closed his eyes hard, put the lipstick back in the drawer, took out a pen again, and concentrated on studying the textbook in front of him.

After an unknown amount of time, the phone suddenly vibrated.As soon as he unlocked the lock screen, the phone vibrated three times in a row, all of which were text messages.He thought it was a spam text message, and opened it leisurely, but it was a New Year's greeting.

They were all unfamiliar numbers. Zheng Xiaozhou thought it might be a mistake to send them, so he ignored them. Seeing the red dot appeared again on WeChat, he opened it and looked at it. He recovered the New Year greetings from his friends one by one, and one was from Aran.There was a smile in his eyes, and he had a brief chat with him, told him to practice the piano at home, and withdrew.He slid to the top, his fingers froze.A huge red dot appeared on Sansan's profile picture.

0:00

Dog: Zhou Zhou, Happy New Year! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Looking at the long series of exclamation marks, he suddenly wanted to laugh. He replied to him and put down the phone, drank his saliva and continued to read, but the phone continued to vibrate, and news from Shen Yuyi came one after another.

Dog: Zhou Zhou Zhou Zhou!I'm downstairs in your dormitory!

Dog: Shall we set off fireworks?

Dog: Sansan misses you!He has grown into a big dog now!

Dog: Special - don't - big!

Dog: Picture] Picture]

Dog: Please, please! !Let's get down!Or I'll go up!Please please! !

Zheng Xiaozhou found that Shen Yuyi seemed to be particularly keen on using exclamation points, he looked like a capital exclamation point.He didn't realize that the corners of his mouth were already rising, and he replied lazily on the back of the chair.

z: It's down, don't grumble.

dog:!

Dog: OK.

As soon as Zheng Xiaozhou was downstairs, he was attacked by a very big Alaska.

He is really big.Zheng Xiaozhou felt that it might be because of too much hair. He was a little itchy now, and wanted to shave the dog's fur to see his real body.

"Did the guard let the dog into the school?" Zheng Xiaozhou asked suspiciously.

"We entered from the west gate, the uncle drank too much, he snored loudly, and his mouth was always moving." Shen Yu glanced at him with a smile, and muttered something inaudibly, but Zheng Xiaozhou didn't hear clearly , was about to ask him, but was interrupted anxiously by Shen Yu.

"Take you to a place!" Shen Yu lowered his head, and said mysteriously in Zheng Xiaozhou's ear, "Secret base."

He grabbed Zheng Xiaozhou's forearm and was forced to run.Shen Yuyi's speed was simply too fast, with two long legs and big strides, Zheng Xiaozhou had no choice but to try his best to keep up, sweating profusely and panting, he was dragged to the street outside the school, scanned the code and got on the bike , and ran along the street to the distant edge of the city.

Sansan happily led the way in front of them, turning back from time to time to wait for them.Zheng Xiaozhou was pulled over in the middle of the night and rode for such a long time, so tired that he almost vomited blood.He wanted to yell at Shen Yu for being crazy, but he didn't have the strength to speak out at all. Now he could only focus on moving his legs mechanically and breathing heavily.He felt that he had eaten too few of the thirty dumplings.

I stopped and rested several times on the way, mainly because Sansan wanted to drink water, eat and pee.And this dog jumped up and down more than anyone else in the first few kilometers. After running for about ten kilometers, he became honest. When he ran for twenty kilometers, he started pretending to be a dead dog. After catching up and beating him, he still doesn't think about repentance, and it doesn't work to seduce him with meat sausage.

Zheng Xiaozhou tried to take this opportunity to turn around and go back directly, but Shen Yuyi would rather die than follow, he insisted that Sansan could find a home by himself.Zheng Xiaozhou was forcibly pressed on the car by him, and wanted to refuse, but seeing his tearful eyes, he couldn't speak again, so he had to scold himself for being an idiot, that he shouldn't have come down in the first place.

The two of them rode their bicycles, stopping and going, and finally arrived at Shen Yuyi's "secret base" at some time in the early morning.

"It's here!" Shen Yuyi was full of energy, he braked the car excitedly, put his two long legs on both sides of the car, looked at the weak Zheng Xiaozhou with a smile, and teased: "Brother Zhou, you can't do this, Didn't you have dinner tonight?"

Zheng Xiaozhou thought that no matter how good your health is, you can't ride from the city center to the suburbs at one or two o'clock in the morning, a distance of fifty or sixty kilometers.

He was panting heavily on the handlebars of the car, his throat hurt so badly, his heart and lungs were almost exploding, and he really wanted to drink water, but Shen Yuyi let him walk for a while and slowed down. One by one, a large thermos cup came and poured some water into the lid for Zheng Xiaozhou to drink.

After Zheng Xiaozhou finished drinking the water, he looked up and was stunned.

A long abandoned railway was buried by tall grass, and the rusty rails could be vaguely seen.The sky looks very low here, there are some dwarf trees in the distance, there is no moon, only a lot of fuzzy stars, scattered in the gray-purple sky, like draft paper pierced by the tip of a pen, the stars reveal the outside world. come light.

In the distance were the lights of houses, and the lights of the city shone so that they could see the road under their feet.

"Fuck," Zheng Xiaozhou couldn't help swearing, he took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit it up and smoked, "Are you sick? What's the use of this poor place? There are too many in my house."

Shen Yuyi suddenly became quiet and looked at him seriously.Zheng Xiaozhou's hair was all over his body, he frowned and said, "Look at that, have you never seen anyone smoking?"

"You started smoking again?" Shen Yuyi asked a little embarrassedly.

"It's none of your business." Zheng Xiaozhou walked slowly along the railroad tracks to relieve the lactic acid accumulated in his thighs.He walked for a while, with a cigarette dangling from his lips, he began to wander, wondering what he was thinking.

Shen Yuyi suddenly said without thinking: "I want to smoke too."

When Zheng Xiaozhou was interrupted by him, he stopped being distracted, and just looked at him with a funny face: "How old are you, you smoke your mother. Besides, my cigarettes are too rough and hurt your lungs."

Shen Yuyi looked at him stubbornly, and insisted: "I want to smoke."

Zheng Xiaozhou was stunned for a while, then suddenly realized that he was not much bigger than Shen Yuyi.In his sophomore year in high school, Shen Yuyi was in the third year of junior high school. He didn't grow up to look small. It can only be said that the first impression was still relatively deep-rooted. In his eyes, Shen Yuyi always looked young, his brain was not very bright, and he needed people. Protect that.

"I want to be like Zhou Zhou." Shen Yu said something in a low voice, he lowered his head to look at the shadows of the two.The light was far away, and the shadows were blurry, but Shen Yuyi just thought it looked good. Zheng Xiaozhou walked in front, a little shorter, and he was behind, as if he had his head resting on his shoulders.The shadows look intimate.

Shen Yuyi suddenly became envious of his own shadow.

He secretly took out his phone, set the night scene, and took a picture crookedly towards the ground.

"What are you doing? Don't you want to learn? Come here." Zheng Xiaozhou frowned slightly and looked at him helplessly.

Shen Yu panicked and put the phone in his pocket, moved it over with a sullen face, and reached out to pick up the cigarette between Zheng Xiaozhou.

"Fuck, I'm not so stingy, okay?" Zheng Xiaozhou pouted, and handed him the cigarette case, but Shen Yuyi snatched the one in his hand and put it in his mouth. A gust of wind blew over, and the cigarette butt was extinguished.

"I'm afraid it's a waste if I can't finish it." Shen Yuyi argued.He lowered his head expectantly, wanting Zheng Xiaozhou to light a cigarette for him. "Brother, I'm afraid of fire, so I dare not light a lighter."

"...Afraid that the fire will smoke your mother?" Zheng Xiaozhou scolded.He wanted to slap this head to death, but he held back his anger for the sake of obediently calling him brother.He also took a cigarette in his mouth, lit the fire, leaned over to touch Shen Yuyi's cigarette end, and the fire passed slowly.

Shen Yuyi's breathing stopped.He is taller than Zheng Xiaozhou. From this angle, Zheng Xiaozhou's eyebrows and eyes are reflected by the fire, and his lips are so red that they are breathtakingly beautiful.

Don't think about it, don't think about it, think about it...

"Cough cough cough cough cough...cough! Cough cough!!" As soon as Shen Yu was choked by the smoke, he coughed loudly, and tears were forced out all at once.

"..."

As soon as Zheng Xiaozhou finished talking about how to get into the lungs, he let himself out like this.He looked over with raised eyebrows, and said impatiently: "If you want me to say, you might as well forget it."

Shen Yuyi resolutely refused.Zheng Xiaozhou didn't understand what stubbornness he was committing, so he just wanted to learn.

Zheng Xiaozhou was completely convinced.

On the night of New Year's Eve, he rode a bicycle for three hours with a boy who was a sophomore in high school, strolled blindly in the wilderness, and squatted on the ground to teach him how to smoke.

This is the most interesting year he has ever had.
