Mint-Stained Shirt

When he left Ming's house, Ming Shu dragged a half-empty suitcase, the orange color was shining brightly in the sun.

The college entrance examination was originally a severance. Most of the luggage before the age of 18 was left behind by him, and many of the precious things that carried his growth experience were placed in Xiao's house, neatly placed in Xiao Yu'an's bedroom. .

He pulled the suitcase, bang bang bang bang, and walked into Xiao's yard.Xiao Zhengyun has gray hair, and his footsteps are not as vigorous as before.

"Grandpa." Ming Shu called softly.

Mr. Xiao walked over on crutches, and looked up at him - he was already a young man of more than 1 meters, but Xiao Zhengyun shrank his muscles, and he could only look at him when he raised his head.

After a while, Xiao Zhengyun sighed and patted his arm, "Go into the house, that's your home, and grandpa's is also your home."

Mingshu nodded, but didn't lift it up again.

Because his eyes were red.

When he broke up with Ming Haofeng, he was not jealous, and when he was angrily scolded for "scrolling", he was not jealous either.

But in front of Xiao Zhengyun, his eyes started to burn.

Actually he wasn't sad at all.He has been waiting for this day for many years.Xiao Zhengyun said that was his home over there, but it was not.He stubbornly felt that only a warm and belonging place like Xiao's is home.

He used the Xiao family as a reference everywhere, and the Ming family couldn't be regarded as a family.

Now that he was kicked out by Ming Haofeng, it was good, he no longer had to be an accessory of a failed marriage.

Xiao Zhengyun made steamed pork ribs and cold chicken, which are his favorites.After eating, he rinsed the dishes and fell asleep for a while, then started to pack his luggage.

It's still early to leave school, and the admission letter hasn't come down yet.He filled out the Public Security University, and the address on the notice was Xiao Yu'an's home.

He bought a train ticket for the day after tomorrow. He borrowed the money from Du Hao, and agreed to work during the summer vacation to pay it back.

Du Hao cried and punched him, saying that if he dared to pay back the money, he broke up with him, and insisted that he refund the train ticket and buy a more expensive one.He didn't agree.

Before leaving, he called Xiao Yu'an a few times, but they didn't get through.

Xiao Yu'an was on a mission somewhere, and his return date was uncertain.

But the day is fixed for him to go to the future.

"Would you like to wait?" Du Hao babbled like a mother-in-law, "It's useless if you go now. If Brother An doesn't come back for ten and a half months, why don't you sleep on the street?"

Mingshu said: "If you haven't slept before, you can experience it once."

Du Hao frowned, "I don't have such a blind experience like you!"

"Haohao, don't worry about it." Mingshu glanced at his hair with a smile, "Didn't I live in the past for a while last year? I know the surroundings well, find a part-time job in an Internet cafe or restaurant, and the one that includes food and lodging Kind of, I can make do with anything, and I will pay you back a few hundred yuan for travel expenses later."

"Damn!" Du Hao said viciously, "Give me the toll again!"

Ming Shu smiled, the train station was crowded and busy, and the loudspeaker kept broadcasting information about arrival, delay, ticket checking, etc. In 10 minutes, his train was going to be checked.

"Go back." Mingshu put away the laxity that often hangs on his face, "I'm going to chase someone. Don't worry if you're a brother."

Du Hao pursed his lips for a long time, and said seriously: "Okay!"

Mingshu raised his eyebrows in surprise.

Just now he said the word "chasing someone" on purpose. Du Hao is his best friend. He ended up severing ties with his family when he came out of the closet. There is nothing wrong with being cute. bless.

He was about to leave his hometown and go to another place. He didn't want to hide it from his good buddies, but said selfishly that he longed to be blessed by his friends.

He thought that Du Hao would be stunned when he heard the word "chasing someone", and he was shocked when he realized it, and it took him a while to accept it.

But Du Hao seemed to have known about it a long time ago.

"You..." He looked at Du Hao and found the answer in his eyes.

"I'm Bingxue smart and understanding. I've already seen it." Du Hao snorted, "If you don't tell me, I'll help you hide it. We'll see when you confess."

Mingshu sighed, the heavy things on his heart suddenly turned into powder, and when he blew, they flew up, shining brightly.

"Chasing it, chasing it." Du Hao was actually quite reluctant to let Mingshu, they had their first friendship in the first grade of primary school, but good buddies were going to chase after love, so he had to pretend to be proud, to give Mingshu Take it easy, "Don't worry about what other people say, you just know, your brother, I will always support you!"

Wheels hit the rails, and the train rolled out of the station, rumbling on.

Ming Shu looked at the receding city and skyline, and gently pressed his sore eye sockets.

Xiao Yu'an was really not at home, Mingshu was prepared, opened a room in a nearby hotel, put his luggage in, ate a bowl of fried rice, and immediately started looking for a job.

It is easy for him to find a part-time job at his age, and he has the advantage of appearance.The train arrived at noon, and he got his job done that night—working as a clerk in a 24-hour convenience store.

The convenience store has a lounge, and no one lives in it. He discussed it with the store manager, and the store manager simply let him work the night shift, and the lounge was for him to sleep for the time being.

Boys who have just grown up can't run out of energy. After a day's work, they don't feel tired and want to find another job.

It happened that the milk tea shop across the street was short of people, so Mingshu went to try it out and was hired again.

On the day Xiao Yuan came back, he had worked in a convenience store for 16 days and a milk tea shop for 9 days.

A while ago, he received the admission notice.

Xiao Yu'an looked at him for a moment, frowning slightly, "Why are you here?"

Mingshu quickly put down the water, "I was admitted, and I will be here for the next four years."

After finishing speaking, he ran to the lounge, took out the notification letter locked in the cabinet, and raised it proudly, the emotion of waiting for praise was clearly on his face.

At this time there were no other customers in the convenience store, Xiao Yuan took the notice, looked at it and returned it to Ming Shu, "When did you come?"

Mingshu said, "It's been more than half a month."

Xiao Yu'an said, "Why didn't you contact me in advance?"

"I have contacted, but I can't get in touch." Ming Shu's ears felt a little hot.How should I put it, Xiao Yu'an at this time made him feel hot in the heart, eager to try, but a little uncomfortable.

This is the elder brother who has just finished his mission. The gentleness he is familiar with has not yet come up. There is a kind of coldness and oppression when facing criminals.

It's a different brother.

And he seemed to be a criminal too.

He even kind of wants to be cracked down as a criminal.

This seemed to be the first time he had faced Xiao Yuan face to face as an adult. He had grown up and he was a man.This realization made his forehead twitch with excitement.

Xiao Yuan asked that question because he felt that Mingshu shouldn't have come if he knew he wasn't there.But Mingshu's answer and the joy in his eyes have already explained everything - I want to come, whether you are there or not.

Something had changed between them since Minshu opened up to him last summer.This year, because Mingshu was preparing for the college entrance examination, they tacitly did not mention the matter of the rainy night, but now, it is time to resolve the protracted matter.

"Where do you live?" Xiao Yuan said and looked in the direction of the lounge, "Is that right there?"

Mingshu said: "That's right, the store manager saw that I have no money, so he gave me benefits alone."

"Go and tidy up." Xiao Yu'an said that he couldn't let Mingshu live outside alone, what would he look like, "Come back with me after get off work."

It's midnight at this moment, and there are still a few hours before get off work.Mingshu was very beautiful in his heart, of course he wanted to go home with Xiao Yuan right away, but he couldn't leave if the colleague who changed shift didn't come.

If you have a job, you are a social person, and a social person must have a sense of responsibility.

"I change shift at 6 o'clock." Mingshu said: "Brother, then you go back first, I will go back by myself after changing shift."

Xiao Yu'an glanced at the time and thought about it for a while, "Is there a noodle cooking meeting?"

Mingshu said, "Do you want to eat here?"

"I'm too lazy to do it when I go back." Xiao Yu'an said, "Can you do it?"

Convenience store oden, there are all kinds of meat skewers and buns, as well as noodles cooked to order.Xiao Yu'an doesn't like to eat anything else, he just wants to fill his stomach.

Mingshu immediately said: "Brother, you underestimate me. I have been working here for half a month, and they all praise me for the delicious noodles."

Xiao Yuan smiled, and took a bottle of sugar-free tea from the shelf, "We count together."

Ming Shu scanned the code, but did not want Xiao Yu'an's money, "Brother, I invite you."

Xiao Yuan didn't argue with him, and sat down on the row of seats by the window.

After Mingshu finished mixing the seasoning, his hands trembled a little, not because he was nervous, but because he was excited and couldn't restrain himself.

He didn't even expect to meet again in this way. In the early morning, in a convenience store where there was no one else, the busy man returned, and he cooked a bowl of hot noodles.

Tsk, how romantic it is!

Xiao Yu'an stared at the night outside the window, his mind was blank for a while.

He knew that Mingshu would definitely come to him, but he didn't expect Mingshu to find all the jobs.

Seeing that Mingshu was so high-spirited, he was a little dumbfounded.

The Ming family must hope that Mingshu will go into business. The road may have been paved long ago. Mingshu must have experienced a "war" in the Ming family if he reported to the Public Security University.

Mingshu is like a victorious general.

"Brother, here we come!" Mingshu put the tray on the table, his eyes full of anticipation, "Would you like to taste it? I made my own idea and added 5 skewers of oden."

Xiao Yu'an stirred his noodles, "Eat public food?"

Mingshu said: "That's impossible! I paid for it!"

The noodles in the convenience store are all strictly according to the metering ratio, and the cooking time is also stipulated.

Xiao Yu'an ate, and Ming Shu was watching from the opposite side.

After eating and clearing up, there is more than an hour left before the shift change.

Xiao Yuan didn't go back, but waited in the shop.

Anyway, there were no guests, so Mingshu went back to the lounge to pack his luggage. The suitcase was wide open. In addition to necessities such as clothes, documents, and chargers, there were also some less necessary things.

The mint-colored bracelets that I can’t wear for a long time, the watch I received when I was in junior high school, and the 18th birthday present.

Xiao Yuan stood at the door, Mingshu squatted on the ground with his back facing him.

Xiao Yu'an said, "You moved them all here."

Mingshu's shoulders stiffened, he turned around, looked at Xiao Yuan, and for a moment, his right hand grabbed Xiao Yuan's pants.

"Brother, I have severed ties with them."

"I have nowhere else to go. I come to take refuge in you. Will you take me in?"
