SAYE

Pan Zhi's book bar is basically done, and now it's cleaning, moving various bookshelves, tables and chairs, and some decorations inside.

The bookshelves are not arranged in a conventional way, they are placed in a row, and there are cushions and bean bags in front of the bookshelves. Every pretentious corner strives not to interfere with each other. There is a relatively independent space, but there is no Complete occlusion, after all, when there is no audience, you will be lost when you are really pretending.

Jiang Cheng, Gu Fei and Pan Zhi stood at the door of the book bar together, watching the workers move out the bookshelves from the compartment, and then started moving the decorations.

There are many abstract copper sculpture works, this style can be seen as Boss Xiao's works.

"Have you given me any money?" Jiang Cheng asked Pan Zhi, "I went to see her studio last time, and there are things stored in it. If you just pick up a palm-sized thing, it will cost several thousand."

"Then you still ask, it costs dozens of slaps," Pan Zhi said, "Can I afford the money?"

"On credit?" Jiang Cheng said.

"I'm talking about consignment," Pan Zhi said, "sell it if someone wants it, and put it here if no one wants it."

"It's really embarrassing..." Jiang Cheng said.

"It's quite embarrassing, and there are even more embarrassing ones," Pan Zhi looked at Gu Fei, "Remember to bring me a few catties of beef jerky, the expensive one recommended by Li Yan."

"Is ten catties enough?" Gu Fei looked at him.

"It's hard for me to say. The specific weight depends on our friendship. You can figure it out." Pan Zhi said.

"Let's break up the relationship." Gu Fei said.

"Look, our friendship was defeated by beef jerky just like that," Pan Zhi sighed, "When will we go back? It's my birthday, so it would be nice for us to have a meal together."

"Eat it when you come back, you can eat it every day." Gu Fei said.

"Didn't we break off our friendship?" Pan Zhi said immediately.

"Oh yes." Gu Fei clicked his tongue, walked away and stood three steps away from Pan Zhi.

Just as Jiang Cheng was about to speak, Pan Zhi's eyes suddenly froze while looking behind him. He didn't need to turn his head to know that Boss Xiao was behind him.

Boss Xiao has a very domineering name called Xiao Pan, but they have been calling him Boss Xiao ever since they met, and they have never changed it. Even Pan Zhi has been chasing him for more than a year, and he still calls him Boss Xiao .

"Boss Xiao is up?" Pan Zhi greeted.

"Well," Xiao Pan nodded with them, and looked into the store from the window, "this taste."

"Is it okay?" Pan Zhi said.

"Don't ask this kind of question all the time, it's easy to let yourself down," Xiao Pan said, "Have you finished it? Come and sit with me?"

"We're going back to the steel factory today," Jiang Cheng said, "I have to go back and tidy up later."

"Oh yes, you said, you really want to drive that second-hand broken car?" Xiao Pan said, "I don't use my car for a few days, so why don't you drive me back?"

"No, it's not too far," Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "It's no problem to run back and forth."

"Okay, anyway, if you want to use a car, just tell me," Xiao Pan said, "Anyway, if you don't use it, Pan Zhi has to use it too. He has a big face."

"I use your car for a reason," Pan Zhi said, "Seeing a car is like seeing a person."

"Am I so ugly?" Xiao Pan said.

"To be honest," Pan Zhi said, "Among the girls I've ever chased, you're really the ugliest."

"It's really hard work for you." Xiao Pan sneered.

"Not hard," Pan Zhi said, "painful but happy."

"Let's have coffee later," Xiao Pan said, and waved to Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei again, "We'll get together when we get back."

"Okay." Jiang Cheng smiled.

Not long after staying at Pan Zhi's place, Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei left, because Xiao Pan invited Pan Zhi over to chat, and Pan Zhi couldn't wait any longer.

"Let's take this car," Gu Fei started their "second-hand small broken car", and said with a smile while reversing the car, "Actually, the sound of the engine is pretty good."

"Well," Jiang Cheng nodded, "If you didn't repair the car after rubbing it, the outer shell would look pretty good."

"I'm too lazy to do it for a small scratch," Gu Fei said, "Anyway, you'll have to buy a good car by then."

"Me?" Jiang Cheng looked at him.

"Yes," Gu Fei said, "Foreign company gold collar, you..."

"Do you think," Jiang Cheng laughed, "I will buy a car when I have one?"

"No," Gu Fei sighed, "I don't think you even want to buy a bicycle."

"Well, let's just run this car like this anyway, let's talk about when the wheels fall off and can't be put back on." Jiang Cheng adjusted the back of the passenger seat and leaned back, "Actually, I really liked this feeling before. "

"Does it feel like I'm driving you?" Gu Fei asked.

"Well," Jiang Cheng tilted his head, "I have enjoyed it since I was a kid, just the two of us in one space, whether it's windy or rainy outside, whether it's cold or hot, it doesn't matter."

"I like it too," Gu Fei said, "But it won't conflict with changing to a better car, right?"

"It's a conflict with our money." Jiang Cheng was amused after thinking about it, "The good car you mentioned is compared to the current car, right?"

"Yeah." Gu Fei was also happy.

The car they are driving now was picked out with the help of professional Liu Fan. It is less than [-] yuan, and the overall conditions are not bad at the same price.

"The good car you mentioned didn't exceed 20, did it?" Jiang Cheng asked happily.

"Otherwise," Gu Fei smiled, "Actually, I'm pretty stingy too."

"That's fine. We can consider changing to a car that won't exceed 20 next year." Jiang Cheng nodded seriously.

"Good car." Gu Fei added.

In the past few years, their birthdays have been celebrated according to Jiang Cheng's day, because they are too close to each other, celebrating their birthdays twice a month is a bit too complicated.

In the past, it was just eating and drinking. Sometimes gifts were given, sometimes not.

Probably because Jiang Cheng graduated this year, so Gu Fei wanted to live a more formal life.

"Do you want to bring anything?" Jiang Cheng asked, "For your mother and Liu Li."

"No, just give me a red envelope." Gu Fei said, "I can't figure out what the two of them are thinking when I buy something. Last time I bought that brooch for my mother. I took it back and put it on the bedside and never used it. When I asked her why she didn't use it, she said she didn't have any clothes to match it."

"Can't you use shawls, woolen coats and so on?" Jiang Cheng said.

"So I don't know what she's thinking," Gu Fei said, "Buy a razor for Liu Li. He said that his beard is so hard that the electric one can't shave it. It will save trouble for the red envelope."

"That's fine." Jiang Cheng nodded with a smile, looked at Gu Miao, "Er Miao, do you pack your luggage yourself?"

Gu Miao nodded.

"Then..." Jiang Cheng was just about to tell you to clean it up, but Gu Miao had already turned around and took out a big bag from her own room, and threw it at his feet with a bang.

"Okay." Gu Miao said.

"Just... for two days." Jiang Cheng looked at the bag, which was a circle bigger than both him and Gu Fei combined.

Gu Miao didn't say anything, and kicked the bag towards his leg again.

"All right, I have a car anyway." Jiang Cheng got up and picked up the bag, dead heavy, not knowing what was stuffed inside.

Gu Miao is a big girl now, and it is impossible for the two of them to look through Gu Miao's things. Anyway, she is willing to take a lot of things with her. Just the bag that she usually carries when she goes out, can make people jump just by carrying it. Like a bag of bricks.

After breakfast in the morning, they threw their luggage into the car and set off.

The back seat was Gu Miao's territory, hugging Rourou, buttoning the earphones, looking out of the window, as if she could watch for an hour without moving it.

Now Rourou is a fat adult cat, much more stable than when he was a child, and he doesn't want to move too much when he is fat, so one person and one cat are as quiet as no one in the back seat.

"Listen to the radio?" Gu Fei asked.

"Listen," Jiang Cheng turned on the radio, "I'll do some work."

"I got carsick for a while." Gu Fei said.

"I never get dizzy in your car." Jiang Cheng took out his notebook from his bag and opened it, and put his legs on the dashboard. "I get dizzy in Pan Zhi's car. He always feels like the police are coming to check for drunk driving when he drives like that."

"You've never taken my long-distance bus before." Gu Fei said.

"...Then I should experience it carefully." Jiang Cheng said.

"Yeah, put away your work." Gu Fei said.

"It's due next week," Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "I'd better get to know it while I work."

Gu Fei lowered the volume of the radio slightly, and glanced at Gu Miao who was seated in the back seat.

The sound of this car is very poor, listening to music has a sense of age, not to mention the sound quality when listening to the radio, but this kind of sound is remembered at this time, but it can give people the feeling of "on the road".

Driving a second-hand old car, taking my boyfriend, sister and a cat, speeding on the road.

Listening to the hissing radio, feeling the car's non-existent shock absorbers... Imperfect and even make people feel a little hard. The journey will always give people a sense of a story of living together and wandering around the world.

Of course, although he thinks this is also very good, he still wants to buy a good car that does not exceed 20.

Not long after the car got on the expressway, probably less than an hour, Jiang Cheng, who was on the co-pilot who was catching up with work, was silent. Gu Fei took a look there and found that he had fallen asleep with his laptop in his arms.

Gu Fei sighed softly, it should be because he didn't sleep well yesterday, Jiang Cheng didn't go to bed until after two o'clock last night, and he woke up a little early again today.

In fact, he knew that Jiang Cheng himself didn't feel how hard he was. From the college entrance examination all the way to the undergraduate and then to the postgraduate graduation, it was almost the same rhythm, and he never relaxed in his studies and part-time jobs.

Ordinarily, this kind of life is normal, but he still feels distressed.

He himself is also very busy. There are a lot of jobs as a studio assistant. He has to learn things from him, and he has to take pictures by himself.

He just felt sorry for Jiang Cheng.

When Gu Fei stopped by the rest area, Jiang Cheng woke up moaning, "Are you there?"

"It's really optimistic." Gu Fei said.

Jiang Cheng glanced out the car window, saw the sign of the rest area, and laughed: "I thought I slept for a long time."

"Is Er Miao going to the bathroom?" Gu Fei turned around and asked Gu Miao.

Gu Miao stuffed Rourou back into the cat bag and got out of the car.

"Brother Cheng," Gu Fei put his arms on the back of the chair and looked at Gu Miao who was walking towards the toilet, "Look."

"You're a big girl." Jiang Cheng turned his head to look at Gu Miao, sighed, and clicked his tongue after a while, "Look at those guys."

"Beautiful girl, it's normal for someone to stare at you," Gu Fei said, "Brother Cheng, if someone chases her again, you can stop chasing and beating her."

"I didn't hit anyone," Jiang Cheng smiled, "I just... cursed a few words."

"We both have to get used to it, as long as this is the case," Gu Fei said, "She's okay now, she can tell the difference between someone's favor and...fuck."

The young men beside the car over there who had been staring at Gu Miao whistled at Gu Miao a few times.

Gu Fei and Jiang Cheng didn't speak, they turned their heads and got out of the car.

When Gu Fei went around the front of the car, Jiang Cheng had already rushed over there with big strides, and he quickly ran two steps to give Jiang Cheng a hand: "Don't worry."

"I'll whip them." Jiang Cheng looked displeased.

"First... I want to see how Gu Miao handles it." Gu Fei said.

Jiang Cheng glanced at him, didn't make a sound, turned around and went to open the car door again, took out a cross wrench for unloading the wheel and put it next to the passenger side, leaning against the door and staring there.

Gu Miao is still quite small, but she is already a beautiful big girl. Every time Jiang Cheng sees her, she will be a little worried that she will be bullied if she can't keep up with her appearance.

Gu Fei said he wanted to see how she handled it, and he also wanted to see, after all, they couldn't always follow Gu Miao, and she would encounter various things.

For example, in the current situation, most girls don't care about it, and they might walk away or scold others when they have more excessive actions. But for Gu Miao, whistle does not mean malice in most cases, and she is fine. I just like to whistle.

But after those people whistled, she didn't respond, she strode forward without looking sideways, and walked into the toilet.

"It's okay." Gu Fei stepped back and leaned against the door with Jiang Cheng.

"I don't think those few are good things," Jiang Cheng said, "They're just hooligans, not even up to the level of a steel factory."

Gu Fei smiled and clicked his tongue twice.

"Don't tsk," Jiang Cheng smiled, "You guys didn't look like good people back then."

"It's a mistake." Gu Fei said.

"It can only be said that you didn't see the essence through the appearance at the beginning." Jiang Cheng turned back and took a cup out to take a sip of water. "Your essence is still very handsome."

Gu Miao probably washed her face when she came out of the toilet. She always washed her face savagely, but now it's almost the same, she splashed water on her face, and her hair was wet into locks.

"I just washed my hair." Jiang Cheng sighed.

"Going to the bathroom?" Gu Fei asked.

"Yeah." Jiang Cheng saw that Gu Miao was fine, and closed the car door.

When they were about to go to the toilet, the group of people said a few words to Gu Miao, but they couldn't make out what it was, so Gu Miao stopped and turned to look at them.

The men smiled and said something, walked towards her, and even looked this way, but Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei are standing behind the tree and the trash can, they probably didn't see it .

"This can't be done, we have to get over it." Jiang Cheng said, the chance of encountering this kind of thing at the rest stop is really too small, everyone is very tired, busy eating and going to the bathroom, and there are still people who are in the mood to tease Girl, it's just amazing.

"En." Gu Fei nodded.

Just as they were about to take a step, they saw Gu Miao wave her arms.

"Hey!" Gu Fei shouted, and ran over there.

Gu Miao slammed a fist on a man's chin, causing the man to throw back violently.

"Why are you still doing it!" Jiang Cheng was also taken aback, and quickly followed.

The man was obviously very shocked and annoyed, he raised his hand and slapped Gu Miao's face.

Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei were still a few meters away, no matter what, it was impossible to arrive before the slap, and he felt his anger rushing to the top of his head.

But Gu Miao's reaction speed was a bit astonishing, she actually raised her arm to block the slap, and at the same time leaned her body, and punched this person.

The jaw again.

"Er Miao!" Gu Fei pulled Gu Miao behind him, stared at those people, and said calmly, "What's going on."

"What's going on? Ask us?" The man looked angry, "I still want to ask her!"

"Er Miao," Jiang Cheng put his arm around Gu Miao's shoulder and pulled her aside, "Why did you hit someone?"

"Stupid." Gu Miao said with a cold face.

"Are they stupid?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"I'm stupid." Gu Miao frowned.

"They said you were stupid?" Jiang Cheng asked again.

Gu Miao nodded.

"I want a contact information just to say hello," the man twitched the corner of his mouth, "She stared at us and didn't speak, but asked if she was stupid, so fuck her!"

"What's your phone number?" Jiang Cheng looked at him.

The man froze for a moment and didn't make a sound.

"Are you a fucking idiot?" Gu Fei immediately asked.

"Fuck!" The man stared and was about to rush forward.

"Come." Gu Fei tilted his head, and there was a "click" on his neck.

Jiang Cheng couldn't help but glance at him, when did this person pick up this skill?

But this "click", together with Gu Fei's gangster spirit that he probably will never get rid of in his life, plus it was a place like a rest station, those few people stopped the one who was about to charge forward.

"Forget it, I think there is something wrong with that woman." One person said.

"What did you say?" Gu Fei said in a cold voice.

The few people didn't make a sound, turned around and walked towards their car, Gu Fei suddenly roared: "I asked you what the hell you said!"

Those few people were taken aback for a moment, then they swished open the door as if they were driving at triple speed and got into the car. Before Gu Fei could speak again, the car drove away with a whoosh.

When Gu Fei turned his head to look at Gu Miao, she suddenly laughed and laughed for a long time before stopping.

"Go back to the car first," Gu Fei said, "My brother will talk to you later."

"About what?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"Have you ever taught her to hit someone?" Gu Fei looked at him, "Then a standard right uppercut? You know how to use your back strength?"

This problem is more worrying than Gu Miao being whistled for a phone call outside.

The two hurried back to the car after going to the toilet.

"Who taught you?" Gu Fei asked.

"Little Five." Gu Miao said.

"Little Five?" Gu Fei was stunned, glanced at Jiang Cheng, then turned to look at Gu Miao, "Which Little Five?"

"My friend." Gu Miao said.

"Why didn't I know you had a friend named Xiao Wu?" Gu Fei asked.

Gu Miao yawned, took out Rourou from the cat bag and hugged it, and closed her eyes.

Gu Fei had no choice but to take out his mobile phone and make a call to the friend in the skateboard club where Gu Miao was staying now: "You have a Xiaowu there? No? Gu Miao said, Xiaowu...then who did she hang out with recently?" Ah? Is there anyone who knows how to punch? Wu? Give me a call, I'll call him if I need anything."

"Who?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"The surname is Wu," Gu Fei said while dialing the number, "They're from the fighting club next to them."

"Bo Chi?" Jiang Cheng was a little shocked.

"Aren't there several boxing gyms in the building of their club?" Gu Fei said, "It's just next door to them."

"Hands-free." Jiang Cheng said.

Gu Fei pressed the speakerphone.

After a few rings over there, someone answered the phone: "Hello."

The voice was very gentle and polite, completely out of touch with Bo Zhan, Gu Fei and Jiang Cheng looked at each other: "Is it Xiao Wu?"

"I'm Wu Yi," the other side replied, "You are?"

"May Day?" Gu Fei was stunned.

Jiang Cheng was also taken aback for a moment, this name was chosen very simply, I don't know if the nickname is labor.

"Yes." Wu Yi said.

"My name is Gu Fei, and I'm Gu Miao's older brother." Gu Fei said.

"Gu Miao's brother?" This time it was Wu Yi's turn to be taken aback, and he paused before saying, "Hello."

"You..." Gu Fei felt that he was a little anxious to make this call, and he didn't know what to say at this moment.

"Just now Gu Miao got into a fight with someone." Jiang Cheng picked up the phone, "No, she actually hit someone."

"Ah?" Wu Yi was stunned again, and asked after a while, "Are you... Brother Cheng?"

"Free of charge..." Jiang Cheng cleared his throat, "Yes."

When he was still thinking that this person actually knew Brother Cheng, Wu Yi added: "Gu Miao can say Brother Cheng eighty times a day."

"Oh." Jiang Cheng suddenly felt very proud and satisfied. He glanced at Gu Fei, and there was a trace of a smile on the corner of Gu Fei's mouth.

"Did she hit someone?" Wu Yi asked.

"Yes," Jiang Cheng said, "Two punches, fast, accurate and ruthless, and can still be blocked."

"The actual combat effect is not bad." Wu Yi said.

Jiang Cheng almost followed him and said "Yeah, the effect is very good", but just in time he remembered the reason for making this call before he bit his tongue: "It's not about the effect, Xiao Wu, she's beating someone now, and it's not very lethal. Little, we mean, did you teach her?"

"Well, one hour a day, she is a fast learner and has first-rate athletic talent," Wu Yi paused after finishing speaking, "You mean...you tell me not to teach her?"

"Yes." Gu Fei said.

Wu Yi didn't say anything, and after a while, he opened his mouth again: "Brother, I think so, boxing is fitness, she is also interested, so there is no need to change anything from here, tell her to use the training results correctly. It should be done, she is different from ordinary little girls, it takes time to understand this, I have always reminded her, just give her some time and guidance."

After Wu Yi finished the call, both Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei were stunned. The speed and tone of their speech made them think of a person almost at the same time.

"What do you do?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"I'm a junior student." Wu Yi said.

"Which school?" Jiang Cheng asked.

"B is big." Wu Yi replied.

"Which major?" Jiang Cheng continued to ask.

"Psychology." Wu Yi said.

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Cheng and Gu Fei stared at each other face to face for a long time.

"Meet a student from the Department of Psychology?" Gu Fei said.

"Psychology students actually went to practice boxing?" Jiang Cheng said.

"Er Miao," Gu Fei turned to look at Gu Miao, "this little Wu..."

Gu Miao opened her eyes and looked at him, Gu Fei suddenly didn't know what to say again.

"Handsome?" Jiang Cheng added.

"I didn't mean to ask this." Gu Fei whispered.

"I want to ask." Jiang Cheng also whispered.

Gu Miao looked at the two of them without speaking. Gu Miao has never discussed who is handsome and who is good-looking. Beauty ranks behind many things in her opinion. She probably doesn't know how to answer this question.

"Is he prettier, or Brother Cheng?" Gu Fei asked.

"Brother Cheng." Gu Miao answered quickly this time.

Jiang Cheng didn't know why he felt relieved.

"Childish." Gu Fei said with a smile.

"That's so childish." Jiang Cheng pulled his seat belt on, "Let's drive, this person is probably... okay, I'll make an appointment for a chat when we get back."

"Brother Cheng," Gu Fei started the car, "You... probably can't beat him."

"When I face someone I can't beat, I usually don't use my hands and use my brain." Jiang Cheng said.

Gu Fei laughed for a long time.

"Don't laugh," Jiang Cheng said, "Are you trying to say that I almost didn't have enough brains just now?"

"No," Gu Fei said with a smile, "I've run out of brains before I even speak."

"Mainly." Jiang Cheng clicked his tongue, "It was too sudden."

The car continued to drive forward, probably because the previous events were quite refreshing, Jiang Cheng stopped dozing off, and continued to work with his notebook in his arms.

The scenery on the side of the road became familiar little by little, the distant familiarity revealed in the strangeness.

After getting off the highway and looking at the license plate on the road, this kind of familiarity spread around me little by little.

Jiang Cheng closed his notebook and stretched his waist: "Here we go."

Although Gu Miao has already adapted to the new life and way of life, when she returns to the place where she grew up, she will still be very excited, lying on the window, tapping her fingers on the glass all the time.

Gu Fei drove to the store first, and now Gu Fei's mother calls it the old store, and the small supermarket opened by Liu Lixin is called the new store.

"Er Miao!" From afar, I saw my mother standing in front of the store, waving and jumping.

Gu Fei pressed the horn to respond.

"Mom." Gu Miao patted the car window.

Gu Fei lowered the rear window, she stretched out her arms and waved them.

The car stopped, Gu Miao jumped out of the car with the cat in her arms, and her mother ran over and hugged her: "Oh, I haven't seen you in a few months, my daughter has become beautiful again! Even the flesh has become beautiful! "

"Where's Liu Li?" Gu Fei asked.

"What about the new store? The goods are ready for delivery in the afternoon. He has passed by and will be here in a while," my mother said. "You should clean up first and eat here at night?"

"En." Gu Fei nodded.

"Auntie has lost weight." Jiang Cheng said.

"Did you see it?" Mom was a little surprised, "I'm losing weight, it seems to be working, doesn't it?"

"The effect is quite obvious." Jiang Cheng smiled.

"Er Miao is right here," Gu Fei said, "Let's put our luggage, take a shower, and come over later."

"Okay, Er Miao, let's go," my mother put her arms around Gu Miao, "Go and see the new clothes I bought for you, I brought them from the store..."

Returning to the small rental house that he had been renting for a long time, Jiang Cheng fell down on the sofa, closed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.

"Is there any ashes?" Gu Fei asked, and came over and leaned on him and kissed his eyes.

"No," Jiang Cheng said, "Li Yan is really quite a buddy, he'll be there at the end of the month, I really have to spend enough time with him."

"Take a shower first," Gu Fei said, "You sleep for a while, and the dark circles under your eyes will come out. I will go out once in a while, and Li Yan will take beef jerky to the store."

"Yeah," Jiang Cheng nodded, "Go after you take a shower."

"Does it smell like sweat?" Gu Fei smiled.

"Whenever I smell you, I always smell like Gu Fei," Jiang Cheng said, "It's not necessarily the case for others."

"Then I'll wash it first." Gu Fei patted his face.

Jiang Cheng was lying on the sofa, and when Gu Fei came out of the shower, he felt like he had already started to dream.

He got up and took a shower, then went back to sleep.

This bed in the bedroom hadn't been slept in for a long time, and when Jiang Cheng lay on it, he had the feeling of being transported into his memory.

There are two familiar water stains on the ceiling, both of which are still in the same shape as before, and there is a small piece of old wire next to it, and the end of the wire is wrapped with black tape.

Jiang Cheng closed his eyes. These were the things he would see before going to bed every day. He had never noticed them before, but he would remember them.

Many details exist like this without realizing it, and one day they will suddenly pop up and bring back memories.

This time he slept until Gu Fei came over to call him before dinner.

"Damn it," Jiang Cheng jumped off the bed, ran into the bathroom to wash his face, "why didn't you call me earlier? How bad it is, you don't get up until the meal is ready."

"It's not someone I met on the first day, so why pay attention to these things," Gu Fei said, "My mother knows that you must have stayed up all night."

"Have you given the red envelope?" Jiang Cheng asked while pulling up his pants.

"Given it." Gu Fei said.

"Well," Jiang Cheng took the phone, "Let's go, I suddenly found that I'm hungry."

In fact, as Gu Fei said, although Jiang Cheng really didn't spend much time with Gu Fei's mother and Liu Li, after so many years, they were indeed very familiar with each other.

It is very natural to go to the backyard to wash your hands after entering the store to say hello, then serve dishes and take a bowl to sit at the table.

Sometimes, Jiang Cheng would feel a little dazed that Gu Fei and Gu Miao were his family members, and these two people who had been immersed in love all this time should also be considered family members.

They are not familiar with each other, but they are relaxed when getting along, and occasionally feel kind.

"It's another year older," Liu Li said, "It's almost middle age."

"Can you talk, you!" Gu Fei's mother yelled, "What age is my son? What should I do when my son is middle-aged!"

"You have always been young." Liu Li said.

"60 years old is middle age, do you know that!" Gu Fei's mother said.

"...Sixty?" Liu Li was taken aback, looking at her.

"Yes, sixty, next year it will be eighty!" she said.

"You have the final say." Liu Li nodded.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you," Gu Fei's mother turned her head, "Are you two spending the Chinese New Year over there, or are you coming back here?"

"I haven't thought about it, let's see the situation." Gu Fei said.

"If you don't come back, we'll go there. I just want to take your mother on a trip, and then go to the surrounding area for two days." Liu Li said.

"That's fine," Gu Fei said, "You guys should go out and have fun too."

"Jiang Cheng," Gu Fei's mother looked at Jiang Cheng, "Do you...do you want to...that is, do you want to go back there, which is your original home, and take a look?"

Jiang Cheng was stunned for a moment, then shook his head after a while: "No."

"Have you never been back?" Gu Fei's mother asked.

"Yeah." Jiang Cheng smiled.

"If they want to see you being so successful," she sighed, "they should see it!"

"It doesn't make any sense to see it," Jiang Cheng said while gnawing on the ribs. "I just know if I'm doing well or not. I don't care what others think or think."

"This is domineering, majestic...that's how you put it." Liu Li said.

"You know a lot." Gu Fei's mother gave him a sideways look.

After eating and chatting for a while, it was already dark, Gu Fei stood up and kicked Jiang Cheng's shoes: "Go for a walk to Brother Cheng."

"Yes." Jiang Cheng followed suit and stood up.

The two walked out of the store together.

The summer nights in the steel factory are quite cool, and as soon as the sun sets, the wind blows on my body and feels very comfortable.

"Where are you going?" he asked.

Gu Fei asked him to go back to the steel factory to celebrate his birthday. It would definitely not be as simple as just having a meal and chatting with his family.

Calling him out for a walk now is definitely not just a walk.

"Follow me." Gu Fei smiled.

It's been many years, and he hasn't taken a walk with Gu Fei like this, both of them are very busy, and Gu Fei often has to run outside, and sometimes he won't see anyone for a week when he goes out.

In the evening, they usually chat for a while and then start to work on their own.

It is a pleasure to walk now in the cool wind of a summer night, along the same paths that I walked on many years ago.

After Gu Fei led him around a few times, he turned onto a small dirt road.

Jiang Cheng smiled when he saw it: "Are you going to the kindergarten?"

"Well," Gu Fei glanced at him, "You're not lost? In theory, shouldn't you have no memory of this road?"

"I can't remember it before my birthday, but I won't forget it afterwards." Jiang Cheng stretched his waist, "Did you put the gift there?"

"Well," Gu Fei sighed, "You don't need to say it if you guessed it, can you have a romantic cell?"

"No." Jiang Cheng clapped his hands, "I know it's a special birthday, and I haven't prepared a gift yet... I really don't know what to give."

Gu Fei smiled and leaned over to kiss him: "The gift you gave me will never be used up in this lifetime."

After walking forward for a while, Gu Fei walked around behind him, wrapped his arms around his waist with one hand, and covered his eyes with the other: "I'll take you forward."

"What's in front?" When Gu Fei's hand covered his eyes, Jiang Cheng suddenly became a little nervous and excited.

"You'll see it in a while," Gu Fei led him forward slowly, and whispered in his ear, "Brother Cheng."

"Huh?" Jiang Cheng responded.

"Happy birthday, Brother Cheng," Gu Fei said, "I hope you will always be this happy."

"Yeah." Jiang Cheng smiled.

"Happy birthday, Brother Cheng," Gu Fei continued to say softly, "I hope you will always smile like a ray of sunshine, you are my sunshine."

Jiang Cheng smiled and did not speak.

"Happy Birthday, Brother Cheng," Gu Fei kissed him on the ear, "I used to hope that you would have no regrets when you remembered those days in the steel factory, but now I hope that one day, when you are old, you will look back , I have no regrets in my whole life with me."

"Happy birthday Gu Fei," Jiang Cheng said softly with a smile, "Follow the light."

Gu Fei stopped walking, and removed the hand covering his eyes.

Jiang Cheng opened his eyes.

A colorful spot of light on the ground, from under their feet, an infinity symbol extending forward.

Jiang Cheng stared at these familiar fluorescent-colored bricks, and some ghosts gradually appeared in his vision.

He blinked, but the ghosting was heavier.

He had to raise his hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of his eyes.

"Where did you get the bricks?" he asked nasally.

"It's the ones from before," Gu Fei hugged him, "I took them back the next day and kept them in the closet at my house. However, the colors were repainted, and the previous colors have faded a lot."

"Are you crazy?" Jiang Cheng couldn't hold back his tears even in his surprise, so he could only reach out and wipe it again.

Gu Fei smiled and didn't say anything, went over to squat down, and gently pushed down the first brick.

The colorful light spots from dots to lines, just like back then, danced and extended forward, lighting up a colorful painting at night.

The author has something to say: Well, all the extra episodes are over.

Thank you very much for accompanying me through the past six months, I love you all.The author who finally stood up rubbed his knees and said with a smile.

No one's life will be perfect all the time, but no matter when, you must look ahead, and you will be invincible if you are full of hope.
