woods lane life

When Chu Yuan half-kneeled on the stone steps and called to himself softly, Shi Jia raised his head buried in his arms in a daze, half-closed his eyes and smiled: "Are you here?"

"Well, finally." Chu Yuan stretched out his arms to wrap around him, and buried his head on his shoulder: "Fortunately, you're fine."

Shi Jia struggled to pull out her arms, and hugged him back as if she was sitting on the steps.He said happily, "I've done what is right, please praise me." He patted him on the back boldly, and then he put down his hands unwillingly, and tightly clenched his hands on his back.She turned her head sideways and put her face close to his neck, complaining softly: "Whoever wants you to go."

"I won't leave anymore," Chu Yuanyi could feel his breath on his neck, warm and itchy, very gentle: "My Shi Jia is the best. I praise it every day, don't hide it secretly alright."

Shi Jiale let go, and giggled for a long time before letting go of him and pulling him to stand up.Lie on him like a tree kangaroo from behind, coquettishly said: "My Brother Chu, please take me home, I'm going to sleep to death."

As soon as he got in the car, Chu Yuan saw that he was carrying his clothes fan all the time, so he asked, "Is it very hot? How about turning down the air conditioner."

Shi Jia was quite thankful that Chu Yuanyi seldom allowed him to be greedy for coolness, so he adjusted it as if he had gotten a bargain before answering: "The clothes were touched by the bucket of ice water today, and they are still a little moist, and it is uncomfortable to stick to the belly."

Chu Yuanyi gave a "hmm", then leaned over to him, stared at his side face, and touched his stomach decisively.As soon as his hand went up, Shi Jia shrank back quickly, turned his head and bit his lip and asked him, "What are you doing?"

Shi Jia's nervous expression was particularly pretty, Chu Yuan said with a smile, "Let me see if your clothes are wet."

Only then did Shi Jia heave a sigh of relief, and looked down to see that his hands were still resting on his stomach, and the warmth from his palms came in, making him quite comfortable.Shi Jia grinned at him: "I'm afraid you're trying to tickle me with your sudden touch... just don't move."

As soon as Chu Yuan was very obedient, he put his hands on his lower abdomen and didn't move. After a while, he smiled and said, "You really don't grow fat."

"Hmm..." Shi Jia pulled his hand and lifted half of his clothes: "My mother said, I won't gain weight when I'm old."

Chu Yuanyi really couldn't imagine what Shi Jia would be like if he was fat, he probably had another delicate and lovely appearance.Putting his hand on Shi Jia's thigh, he could feel that his trouser legs were soaked in water: "The trousers are also wet."

"Yeah, the crotch is actually more wet." Shi Jia lowered her head and was about to pull it off, but quickly pushed his hand away with a frowning face: "Brother, forget about my crotch. Even if you are a man, my blood Fang Gang's age can't bear to be touched at all."

"I am a man and a woman, how much difference does it make to your crotch?"

Shi Jia didn't think about it either, she stayed for a while before answering: "How do I know, no one has ever touched me!"

"If a girl touches you, how about comparing with me?"

What and what?Why should I compare with you?Shi Jia was about to be confused by him, so she opened her mouth and said, "What girl? I don't like girls touching me."

As soon as Chu Yuan knew that he didn't mean that, he knew him too well.Shi Jia never thought about the relationship between men and women since she was a child, and after opening the library, she stayed in the small world of herself and her circle of life all day long.

It would not be an exaggeration to say that he is insensitive to love, and all his feelings are directly attributed to family and friendship.So until now, I don't think there is anything wrong with the way the two men get along like this. Naturally, Chu Yuanyi didn't misinterpret his words, stared into his eyes, but asked seriously: "What about me?"

Shi Jia frowned and looked at him too.The bright yellow light of the street lamp seemed to be fully shining in his eyes, and he found it inexplicably serious and attractive.Shi Jia turned her eyes away with a "tsk", forcefully pulled his withdrawn hand, and put it between her thighs.Holding the back of his hand, he wiped his crotch vigorously, pursed his mouth and said proudly: "I want to touch it, who is with whom!"

Shi Jia's behavior broke the atmosphere, and Chu Yuanyiguang felt it was funny, and he had fun in the car with him for a long time before driving him home.

The rain in midsummer is always continuous, and a light rain can last for half a month.The weather was fine for two days, and then suddenly it rained heavily. The dark sky seemed to be pressing down on the ground, and the dusty air enveloped the entire Mulin Lane.

The humidity of the south wind made the wooden shelves in the store exude a more decayed smell than before, with a slight smell of loose sawdust.

The rainy season is the worst season for bookstores. When the humidity is heavy in previous years, many book pages piled up by the window will become moldy.Shi Jia had no choice but to close the windows and stuff dozens of newspapers between the wall and the pile of books.

The thunder outside and the pouring rain kept pounding on the stone road.Shi Jia turned on all the lights in the library to brighten the things on the table.Looking up at the somewhat dim light and the crowded top compartment, Shi Jia always felt that something was a little different.

Too old, the whole library is too old.

The bookshelves can't bear the weight of the books, Shi Jia has always known this.It has been delayed for a long time, and it has not been replaced until now because of the weather and the reinstallation fee.The library doesn't make much money. Although it doesn't need to pay rent, but after deducting the property fees of the community and shops, water and electricity, the remaining money is enough for food every month.

Whenever she thinks of this, Shi Jia feels that she is very useless.Frustrated and helpless.The sailing boat has not been finished yet, and it is raining and I cannot sit at the door of the library, so I can only turn on the fan and sigh while fighting on the sofa.

So many things can't be thought of. When the half cabinet bookshelf on the top of the sofa area fell down, Shi Jia had this idea. With a "boom", the shelves together with the spliced ​​wooden boards and heavy books were accompanied by the astonishing thunder outside, and they all hit him heavily.

Shi Jia's back was smashed forward, and her jaw fell hard onto the wooden boat. All the things on the table were pushed down, and the sound of breaking was particularly obvious.

Shi Jia was lying on the table, trying to struggle to get up from the stack of books and wooden boards. As soon as she moved, she felt a burning pain on her back.Shi Jia was pressed down and couldn't move, so she could only move her head on the table, biting her lip to prevent the sharp wood from scratching her face.Seeing the mobile phone and a pile of broken cups on the ground, he stretched his arms to reach the mobile phone, tilted his head and dialed Chu Yuanyi's number.

don't answer?

Dial again.

Still not answering?

One last time.

……

Shi Jia was so overwhelmed by the book that she wanted to cry for no reason.He leaned on the table with his elbows as if giving up on himself, trying to see if he could get up. As soon as he moved, the books and wooden boards on his back became more compact.

Shi Jia clenched the phone tightly, endured the pain and pressed Chu He's number, and he answered it after it rang for a while.He guessed it was in the back kitchen, the sound of banging pots and pans, so he had to raise the volume: "What's wrong?"

"Can you come to the bookstore? The bookshelf fell on me and I can't move..."

"What?!" Chu He shouted, "You...you wait!"

After hanging up the phone, within 2 minutes Shi Jia caught a glimpse of Chu He running into the bookstore panting, "Oh, my God." With an exclamation, he ran over to move the wooden boards, messy books and broken sawdust on his body. The room was piled up in a mess, and Chu He picked one up and threw it aside.

Shi Jia made a "hiss" and had to tell him, "Don't throw away the books, some are old volumes."

"At this time, you still have to worry about a few broken books. Are you sick?" Chu He scolded him, but his movements slowed down, and he taught him like he hated iron for being weak: "I told you earlier that you would repair the bookshelf. No repair. Are you happy when you get smashed?"

After lifting everything on his back, Chu He helped Shi Jia stand up: "Are you injured?"

Shi Jia hunched over, unable to stand up straight.Chu He walked around behind him and shouted, "It's bleeding. Come on, I'll accompany you to the hospital."

Shi Jia lowered her head slightly, seeing the pile of dark green tiles on the ground, her eyes felt a little sore.I touched my chin with my fingertips, and I saw blood spots in front of my eyes, so I asked Chu He, "Is Brother Chu at the restaurant?"

Chu He shook his head, frowned and went to help him: "I don't know either. Don't talk about this, I'll take you to see."

Shi Jia broke away from his arm, squatted on the ground to pick up the messy change and keys, and said in a muffled voice, "You go back first, I can go to the clinic by myself."

Chu He stared at the top of his head, suspecting that he was embarrassed to squat down because he was crying.I didn't know why he was acting like this suddenly, and I didn't know how to comfort him, so I had to confirm it again: "Are you... are you really okay?"

Shi Jia lowered her head, feeling that her throat was tight and unable to speak, she could only nod her head and let out a "huh".

After Chu He left, Shi Jia stood up and wiped his wet eyes.
