choose another day to go back

"You're awake." Xiaoji said, his voice still not awake, a little nasal.

"Wow, you're so sexy," Jiang Linlin said, "It's a pity I haven't brushed my teeth, so I can't kiss you."

Xiaoji raised his forehead, "Why did you start again?" He seemed to be getting used to it gradually, and he was no longer shy or impatient.

"Duan Qi called you over last night?" Jiang Linlin asked.

"Ah."

"He didn't say anything."

"No."

"But he did tell me something."

"what?"

"Be honest, who was the man who had dinner with you last night!"

"It's Sister Zhizhi's psychiatrist."

"How did you meet Zhizhi's psychiatrist?"

"..." Xiaoji didn't know how to answer for a moment.

"Do you have a mental problem?"

"No, no," Xiaoji quickly waved his hands to prevent Jiang Linlin from making a big fuss, "That's right, we know each other, let's have a meal together."

Jiang Linlin looked at him suspiciously, and said, "You can't be abducted by other men."

"What are you talking about!" Xiaoji sat up depressed and opened the distance between them.

Jiang Linlin sat up and put his hands on Xiaoji's cheeks, forcing Xiaoji to look at him.Xiaoji lifted Sankou up to block between them, Sankou waved his paws at Jiang Linlin, Jiang Linlin moved away from Xiaoji's cheek, saying that he was bored.

The two got up, and Jiang Linlin went straight back to Hongwan. He said to Xiaoji: "I may be busy these few days, try to finish before I go to my hometown next week, and call me if I have anything to do."

Xiaoji said yes.

After that, he didn't see Jiang Linlin for several days, and the two had no contact.

Xiaoji and the editor discussed the general details of the first comic book and estimated the delivery time of the second one.Because Xiaoji's first and second volumes were drawn alternately, more than half of the drafts for the second volume have been saved, and the rest is expected to be completed in a month.And the first physical book can be completed and launched in half a month.

Xiaoji's manga is about the daily life of a pair of good playmates with Akita Kamo as the background.The story is not strong, it mainly focuses on the interaction between the two protagonists, and it is nostalgic.Because time cannot be turned back, the old life in the past has become an indelible memory in people's hearts. If the life ten years ago still continues to this day, perhaps people will not know how to cherish it. Again.Perhaps ten years later, today's increasingly prosperous Akitagamo will be listed as a memorial object.

On July 18th, Jiang Linlin drove to Akitapo early in the morning. Xiaoji entrusted the three of them at Jiang's house, took two small bags, got into the car, and went back to his hometown with Jiang Linlin.

It's Saturday, there are many people traveling, and there are some traffic jams on the highway.Jiang Linlin said: "Everyone said we were going to leave yesterday, but you have to leave today. Any fool knows that there will be traffic jams today."

Xiaoji said: "Yesterday was not a good day, but today is an auspicious day, so it is advisable to go out."

Jiang Linlin pulled down his sunglasses and looked at Xiaoji, "Xiaoji, Xiaoji, your uncle and aunt don't even have the habit of reading old calendars. Who did you learn from?"

Xiaoji said, "Look, it won't hurt anyone."

Jiang Linlin looked forward again, and the long motorcade stopped in place without moving. "Why are you so careful, the sky is going to kill me, and it's useless to read the almanac."

"Be careful." I don't have much now, and I don't want to lose it anymore.

Jiang Linlin stretched out his arm and rubbed the top of Xiaoji's head, "Silly boy."

The estimated three-hour drive took five hours.Xiaoji's hometown is in the north of Baikui. Although the distance is not very far, it is much cooler in summer than Baikui.The development speed of my hometown is far slower than that of Baikui. There are many mountains and forests in the suburbs, and even in the city, because there are many temples, several mountains have been preserved.

Xiaoji directed Jiang Linlin to drive to a homestay.The decoration style of this homestay is very unique. Jiang Linlin followed Xiaoji, stepped through an old-fashioned wooden door, and entered a single courtyard. There were wooden tables and chairs everywhere in the courtyard. The few people who were scattered got together and chatted in the shade.Through the yard, there is another door with the same style as the main door, step into the house, and walk in, as if returning to the eighties and 90s.There is a row of dark green leather sofas on the left hand side of the door. The sofas are leaning against the wall. There are some metal decorations on the wall, and the neon lines are twined, shining red, green and green.In the corner is a table with simple musical instruments and a microphone.A pair of huge flared trousers are nailed to the wall directly opposite. Under the flared trousers is a half-person-high cabinet. There is a taller cabinet in the distance between people, full of densely packed discs and vinyl records.The entire wall on the right hand side is turned into a wine cabinet, which is filled with bottles and cans of different types of wine. In front of the wine cabinet, there is a bar counter with several batches of high stools. Two people are sitting, each holding a glass of wine, Talk to soft music.

After Xiaoji and Jiang Linlin walked in, one of them looked back and saw the two of them, put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up, walked over, gave Xiaoji a hug, patted Xiaoji on the back twice, Xiaoji was trembling from the beating land.

"Oh, take it easy." Xiaoji said.

"Seeing you a little excited, I accidentally hit hard."

Jiang Linlin looked at this man, he was strong, thick, with darker skin, rough facial features, and a small braid. He looked fierce when he was not smiling, but a little silly when he smiled.

Xiaoji turned and pointed to Jiang Linlin and said, "This is my friend."

"The one from Akita Po?" Without waiting for Xiaoji's answer, as if he was still determined, he stretched out his hand to Jiang Linlin: "Hi, I'm Xiaoji's roommate from University, my name is Chi Xiaodong, just call me Donggua."

Jiang Linlin clasped back: "Hi, my name is Jiang Linlin."

After getting acquainted with each other, Donggua led Xiaoji and Jiang Linlin to their room, while explaining: "It's summer vacation, and there are a lot of people coming to play, so I will keep a double room, don't you mind?"

"I don't mind." Jiang Linlin said.

Following Donggua out of the house, they walked to the backyard. It turned out that the guests' houses were all in the backyard. There was a small detached house with three floors, and they could see a balcony on the second and third floors.A shed was set up on the balcony, so there was no sunlight, and there were many people chatting together.

Xiaoji said: "Winter Gua's B&B is very famous, and it is always full during the holidays."

A large part of the development of Xiaoji's hometown depends on tourism. There are many mountains and temples here. Most tourists come for the few famous temples.

Xiaoji and Jiang Linlin lived in the inner room on the second floor, Donggua asked Xiaoji to put things away first, and go down to chat later.Xiaoji said yes.

After closing the door, only Xiaoji and Jiang Linlin were left in the room.Jiang Linlin looked at the room. The walls were painted gray, with two strings of decorative peppers and garlic hanging on them. There was an oil lamp on the ceiling. Although the lamp was small, it was very bright.There are several cabinets of different heights in the room, two beds, and a bathroom.

Jiang Linlin said, "This house is winded from the northeast."

Xiaoji said: "The style of each house is different. Dong Gua spent a lot of thought on decorating, and his hair fell out very fast during that time."

Jiang Linlin said: "It seems that his hair grows very fast."

Xiaoji said: "Winter melon is a 90s fan."

"I can tell."

Xiaoji and Jiang Linlin put away their luggage, went to the balcony to take a look, and then returned to the previous hall.

Sitting at the bar, having a drink and chatting for a while, Donggua suddenly asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Xiaoji remembered that they got off the expressway and came here directly. It was past one o'clock and they were so hungry that neither of them thought of having lunch.After being reminded by Donggua, Xiaoji felt hungry again.

Donggua asked the kitchen to order two bowls of noodles, but Xiaoji said no, he had something he wanted to eat.

Jiang Linlin just followed Xiaoji, driving around the city, Xiaoji pointed to a shop with the signboard saying "Old Zhu Zhajiang Noodles", and said to Jiang Linlin: "The food here is delicious, I often come to eat .”

Jiang Linlin searched for a parking space for a long time. He looked at the disorderly parked cars on the street and said, "It seems that it was a wrong decision to come by car."

Xiaoji said: "Yes, it is more convenient to take the train, and the road will not be blocked."

"Why didn't you say that?"

"You know, I don't know how to say no."

"Co-author, you don't want me to come, do you?"

"..." Xiaoji chose to remain silent.

The car parked a little far away, and it took a while to get to the store. Xiaoji said that the fried rice noodles here are delicious, and recommended it to Jiang Linlin.Jiang Linlin told me to listen to you.

Xiaoji sat down and ordered two rice noodles with mixed sauce.

Jiang Linlin said: "The signature is fried noodles, how do you eat rice noodles?"

"The rice noodles here are very delicious. I have eaten thinner rice noodles and also very thick ones, but the thickness of the rice noodles here is in between. The first time I tasted it, I thought it was delicious, and I came here often." Xiaoji explain.

Jiang Linlin said: "This is the place where you have lived for more than 20 years, but you have only stayed in Akitagama for five years."

"Yes."

The two didn't speak for a while, Xiaoji looked left and right, and suddenly saw a small sign posted in the store, saying no smoking.Xiaoji asked: "I haven't seen you smoking recently."

"I don't have any addiction at all," Jiang Linlin said.

"Not smoking is the best, and it's good for your body."

"I still smoke, but not in front of you."

Xiaoji said, "Jiang Linlin, I'm a man."

Jiang Linlin smiled: "I know."

"But why do I feel that you treat me like a woman?"

"Your delusion, I really know that you are a man." Jiang Linlin still smiled.

Two servings of rice noodles with fried sauce came to the table, Xiaoji told Jiang Linlin to mix them, Jiang Linlin did as he did, and tasted it, as expected, it was delicious, but still felt a bit nondescript.Xiaoji on the opposite side ate very happily, his mouth became redder and redder because of the spicy food, Jiang Linlin ate faster than Xiaoji, and wanted to go out to smoke a cigarette after eating, but looking at Xiaoji, he thought he might as well just sit here.

After the two of them finished eating, Xiaoji directed Jiang Linlin to turn around to a small alley, bought some incense sticks, and stopped by the supermarket before returning to his residence.

Xiaoji and Jiang Linlin went back to the room. Because of getting up early and driving for five hours, Xiaoji was worried that Jiang Linlin was tired and asked him to rest. Jiang Linlin said he was fine, but Xiaoji insisted. He directly closed the curtains in the room and turned off the headlights , leaving only a small wall lamp.Jiang Linlin lay down helplessly, his sober consciousness gradually became blurred, and finally fell asleep.
