Unlike Ji Ziyang who was too shy when he was young, Wei Jiale is more sunny than him, and has more friends than him.

In my memory, Wei Jiale is the liveliest kid king in the neighborhood, and also a docile boy who can fall asleep on his back.

Wei Jiale has been with Ji Ziyang since kindergarten.Ji Ziyang likes Wei Jiale very much, he depends on and takes care of Wei Jiale.He couldn't do without Wei Jiale, because Wei Jiale was the only partner of Ji Ziyang who was not good at dealing with strangers when he was a child.

He had no memory of when Wei Jiale came to him.I just remember that one day when he came out of the kindergarten, his mother took his hand and pointed to the little guy led by an aunt on the opposite side and told him that that was his new friend and their new neighbor.

That was the first time Ji Ziyang saw Wei Jiale, with a tender little face, round eyes, small nose tip, pouty lips, and a lollipop in his mouth.

Wei Jiale was quite a child at the time, and he was a little nervous when he saw his new friend Ji Ziyang. He rummaged through his pockets and his schoolbag. Finally, he had no choice but to take out the lollipop in his mouth. Childishly asked Ji Ziyang, "Do you want to eat?"

Ji Ziyang didn't know what he was thinking at the time, and the lollipop that Wei Jiale held up to his eyes jumped. He has been in kindergarten for so long and no child has ever taken the initiative to get close to him, let alone give him delicious food. that's it.So in the face of such enthusiasm, Ji Ziyang didn't know how to react for a while, his face blushed, and he took the lollipop and put it in his mouth, completely forgetting that the candy was in Wei Jiale's place a few seconds ago I have it in my mouth.

The lollipop is full of saliva, but the taste is still sweet.

But this seemingly...behavior turned into a habit later on, even if both of them are in junior high school, as long as Ji Ziyang sees Wei Jiale eating a lollipop, he will grab it and put it in his mouth... Let alone drinks, breakfast, half-eaten apples, etc., in Ji Ziyang's opinion, everything that has touched Wei Jiale's mouth can be taken and eaten directly, without any taboos .

Once, Wei Jiale squatted down in front of him and asked him seriously, "Don't you feel sick?"

At that time, the two of them were in elementary school, and they had just had a preliminary awareness of this kind of dirty behavior. They belonged to the kind of people who would be laughed at by their friends for a month if they saw someone who drank water from a bottle. "Then who and that kissed directly, they belong to the same family" age.

But Ji Ziyang was quite natural, "I don't think so."

"...If this is the fat girl in your class, would you eat it?"

"Of course not! How disgusting and slobbering."

"Then if it's Liu Meili's, would you eat it?"

"Nonsense, of course I don't want to eat it. I can't eat anyone else's. Don't disgust me."

"But I've eaten this too."

Wei Jiale's face was puffy, and his voice was raised high.

"But you are different," Ji Ziyang flipped through the little book in his hand with a lollipop in his mouth, and said naturally, "Because you are Wei Jiale."

Then Wei Jiale stopped talking, just squatted aside and looked at Ji Ziyang thoughtfully.

Later that day, Wei Jiale showed great bravery and took a set of cards for Ji Ziyang that he wanted most. The palms of his little hands turned red, but he found the thing that made him the happiest.

That is to make Ji Ziyang happy.

Later, Ji Ziyang put the pile of foreigner cards together with other gifts in a box, and they have been kept in the interlayer of the storage room until now.They were all very fragmentary things, handmade by Wei Jiale, paintings by Wei Jiale, keychains like Wei Jiale, etc., etc. There were a lot of tatters.Over the years, he has thrown and lost many things, but he has not lost any of these things about Wei Jiale.

But later, Wei Jiale got angry with Ji Ziyang for a long time because Ji Ziyang suddenly stuffed half of the cucumber in his mouth.

Well, it's a little sad to think about it, he doesn't dislike Wei Jiale, but that doesn't mean Wei Jiale doesn't dislike him.

It was impossible to say not to be angry, but afterward Ji Ziyang was really not angry at all.

Once he had a fever and sat at home worrying about the bitter pills, which he hated the most.

Then Wei Jiale came to play with him, seeing him in distress, picked up the pill on the table, licked it twice and handed it to him, "Eat it, don't you like eating the most things I've ever eaten?"

"Can you get out?"

Wei Jiale laughed, and then really put the medicine in his mouth and ate it, then broke out a few new pills and handed them to Ji Ziyang, "Here, I'll take it with you, let's take it."

Ji Ziyang squinted his eyes at Wei Jiale, and took the medicine obediently.

"This is called a good brother. We should share difficulties and suffer together."

At that time, martial arts dramas were broadcast on TV every day, and Wei Jiale was also quite affected.

Later, Ji Ziyang recovered from his illness, but he suffered a meal.

"He's Lele and he's not sick. Aren't you afraid of taking medicine blindly?"

At that time, what mother said frightened Ji Ziyang, "Can't you eat it?"

"Of course not. You are not allowed to do such a thing in the future. Do you want Lele to get sick?" Ji Ziyang's mother thought for a while, and felt that she should speak more profoundly, so she added, "Maybe he will eat dead people." .”

So his mother's words really worked, and Ji Ziyang no longer dared to let Wei Jiale take medicine with him.Not only that, Ji Ziyang also deeply felt Wei Jiale's love for him, he is really his best friend, and he would die for him...

So Ji Ziyang loves Wei Jiale even more, and Wei Jiale really likes Ji Ziyang.

Wei Jiale's family is the same as Ji Ziyang's, with only his mother "depending on each other".But unlike Ji Ziyang, Wei Jiale is a real single-parent family.His father passed away a long time ago. Although his mother didn't say anything, Wei Jiale told Ji Ziyang that he knew that his father had run away with other women and he didn't want them anymore.

When saying such words, Wei Jiale had a faint smile on his face, but his voice was much lower than usual.

At that time, Ji Ziyang and Wei Jiale were sitting on the bank of the river that ran through their hometown, and the evening wind gently blew on their faces, softening the firm edges and corners, and softening the hearts that had been pretending to be strong.

Ji Ziyang took Wei Jiale's hand and told him firmly, "You still have me."

"I won't want you."

Wei Jiale turned his head to the side, only looking at Ji Ziyang with indifferent eyes.

"Really, I swear."

Seeing that Wei Jiale didn't respond, Ji Ziyang gestured with three fingers with his other hand, "No matter what happens, I won't let you go."

"But what if you go? Leave here and go somewhere else?"

"I'll come back to you, right here, you wait for me."

Right here, on the banks of the river that runs through my hometown.

"You said it," Wei Jiale looked at Ji Ziyang, "I believe it."

As a result, it became a prophecy, and Ji Ziyang really left not long after.

Ji Ziyang took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth, leaned on the bridge and looked at the place where he and Wei Jiale sat together in his memory, and gently exhaled a puff of smoke.

But now that he is back, where has he gone?

"In that family, the widow brought a son, right? It's hard to live alone with a half-child, so she remarried. It seems that she is a small businessman from other places."

The elderly grandma sifted the corn kernels and said slowly, Ji Ziyang frowned slightly.

"Then the man hanged himself and tied him with a belt to the beams. It was scary...then the family moved out."

That's what he found out about Wei Jiale when he came back after graduating from university.

Shocked and bewildered.

Because he never knew that so many things happened in Wei Jiale's family, and he should have known about these things when he sneaked back at the age of 17, but because of his disappointment and anger at the time, he didn't think about it at all. Go over and find out where they went.

At that time, he just felt that he was betrayed, because Wei Jiale should be waiting for him here, but he didn't.Especially at a time like this, it was hard for him to figure it out, but he had something very important to say to Wei Jiale.But Wei Jiale didn't wait for him.

No one knows where Wei Jiale's mother moved with him. Some say they went to the south, and some say they went further north. There is no definite news. The only thing that can be sure is the vast crowd. Ji Ziyang may Wei Jiale was never found again.

So Ji Ziyang, who should have given up completely, suddenly fell into a more troubled situation. Not only did his heart not settle down because of this reality, but he felt more and more invisible fear.

His Wei Jiale is gone, and he may never be able to find him again.

"Don't wait, that family has moved away for too long and won't be coming back."

He also ran all over the post office in the small town, stuffed a lot of money, and wanted to ask if there was any letter sent to the original resident, and he might find any useful clues.

As you can imagine, everything was in vain.

"If there is any, we would like to give it to you. Please pass it on to the recipient, but there is really nothing. Even if there is, it has been so long and it has been disposed of long ago."

Ji Ziyang snuffed out the cigarette butt, stuffed it into a portable ashtray, and returned empty-handed again.

He ran all over the surrounding places where he could stay, dragged a lot of connections and even found the police station.

"Wei Jiale..."

The household registration police checked the computer for a long time, and finally shook his head apologetically.

Ji Ziyang was about to give up, he felt that he might never find Wei Jiale again in his life, maybe it was true as those people said, he went to the south or farther places, in short, it was beyond his reach .

He will never see Wei Jiale again.

"...nagging, nagging, nagging, talking nonsense every day, there is no time to be clean all day long," some bloated middle-aged men leaned on the sofa and complained about their wives at home. Wearing an amulet and an expensive watch on his wrist, "Is it easy for me to socialize outside all day long? I'm under a lot of pressure, okay? People's wives know how to clean up themselves, and that woman is always Knowing oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, even the best jewelry I bought for her will be put in the box, but that's right, it's useless to dress up, she's like a yellow-faced woman, sometimes I really want to sew her mouth up...doctor ?doctor?"

Ji Ziyang quickly regained his composure and nodded, "...Let's go here first today."

But now he is not even in the mood for work.

He had never hated himself so much, obviously he had many chances to come back to him from the beginning, but he didn't do that.

So what's the use of regretting it now?

It looks more like you obviously don't care about it, and you just become persistent because you can't do it. Who can be moved by such a mood that is always resolute on a whim?

He deserved that it was impossible to meet him again in this life.
