Savage growth

After Lu Chuan came out of Zhuang Qihan's house, he didn't go directly to the airport.

Instead, he intends to go home.

I'm here, I must go back and see my grandma.

However, to his embarrassment, when he was walking on the road, a very hurried person bumped into him recklessly, knocking the mobile phone in his hand and dropping it on the road.

The man just rushed forward and said sorry and ran away.

Lu Chuan frowned, feeling a little annoyed, but he didn't bother to care about it.

Just before he wanted to pick up his cell phone, a car suddenly sped past and crushed the cell phone lying on the ground.

Lu Chuan: "..."

The originally good mood was completely destroyed at once.

He wants to curse.

Lu Chuan picked up his broken cell phone while there was no traffic passing by, and went back to the side of the road.

I just called a taxi on my mobile phone, how do I pay for it now?

He had no cash with him.

I didn't plan to stay here for a long time, so I didn't bring a wallet with a bank card in it.

It all depends on this mobile phone to pay.

The taxi stopped by the side of the road.

Lu Chuan got into the car anyway.

From here to his house, if you have to walk there, it's his fault if you're not exhausted.

However, after he got in the car, he changed the address a little bit, and asked the driver to park the car downstairs at Tan Ming's house in the same community.

What Lu Chuan thought was to take the driver to Tan Ming's house to get money to pay the fare.

Well thought out.

Feel safe.

But he made thousands of calculations, and he didn't count that there was no one in Tan Ming's house.

Lu Chuan froze at the door of Tan Ming's house where no one was there.

He was dying socially.

The master driver stood beside him, looked at him with strange eyes, and asked, "Don't you just love me?"

Lu Chuan sank, only one number remained in his mind.

Besides his own number, he only remembered that one.

Lu Chuan turned around and asked the driver in a low voice, "Can you lend me your mobile phone to make a call?"

The driver handed him the phone, and Lu Chuan quickly tapped the screen.

186...

The moment he dialed out, Lu Chuan suddenly remembered that Tan Ming had told him a long time ago that Jiang Ye had changed his number, and the number he was using now started with 181.

He was about to hang up the phone and tried to figure out what the number after 181 was.

He has memorized it, and he is very familiar with it.

But for some reason, he was a little confused at the moment, not sure which numbers it was.

At the moment when he felt that he might have nowhere to go, the mobile phone placed next to his ear was successfully connected.

It is not an empty number, there is no downtime, and it is a number that can be connected.

When Lu Chuan was lost in surprise, the other party picked it up.

A familiar voice came from the receiver, very polite and indifferent: "Hello?"

Only one word.

But Lu Chuan heard it in an instant, it was Jiang Ye's voice.

Although the voice has become much calmer, it is also much cooler.

But it was him.

Lu Chuan was suddenly speechless in a daze.

There was a turmoil in his heart, but his face was calm and unmoved.

Jiang Ye asked again patiently: "Who is that?"

Lu Chuan managed to regain a little sanity, lowered his sore eyes, opened his mouth, his voice had already gone hoarse, "Brother Ye."

"it's me."

It's me, Lu Chuan.

The other side suddenly stopped breathing.

After Jiang Ye ran out of the house, he called Lu Chuan.

He has never heard Tan Ming say that Lu Chuan changed his number in the past few years, and he has always kept his number.

He directly dialed his mobile phone number, but was told that it was turned off.

Shut down.

Where can I turn it off.

can only be……

airport.

on the plane.

he's gone.

Jiang Ye stopped suddenly, and the mobile phone held by his ear slowly dropped.

Just when he was so depressed that he almost lost his mind, Jiang Ye suddenly felt another mobile phone in his trouser pocket vibrate, ringing an incoming call.

His expression froze for a moment, and he froze in place for a few seconds before taking out the phone.

This number... was the one he had originally used.

On the first day of school when he came to Nancheng that year, he went to replace the mobile phone card after school and got back the number.

Then, keep it all the time, and charge the phone bill every month, but it is not used.

Two years ago, he received a call.

The caller ID is - Chuan Er.

And now this call...

He looked down and saw that it was an unfamiliar local number.

Jiang Ye was disappointed, but he picked it up with a little luck.

But the other party did not speak.

This made him aware of the strangeness, and his heart raised his throat.

Jiang Ye tried his best to restrain his voice that was about to tremble, and asked the sentence: "Who is it?"

Then, at last, he heard the voice that haunted him.

Lu Chuan called him clearly at the other end: "Brother Ye."

Then he said, "It's me."

Jiang Ye was suddenly speechless.

He was stuck in place, people were coming and going on the street, vehicles were constantly flowing, he seemed to be a sculpture, unable to move.

Only the heart in his chest, which seemed to be dead for six years, had come alive again, and was beating wildly at this moment, proving that he was still alive.

He didn't say a word, Lu Chuan bit the bullet and asked him in a low voice embarrassingly: "Can you... come and pick me up?"

Only then did Jiang Ye regain his composure, and hurriedly asked, "Where are you?"

"At the door of Tan Ming's house."

……

When Jiang Ye arrived, Lu Chuan and the taxi driver were at the entrance of the building.

He seemed tired, squatting on the ground, holding a black bag in his arms, lowered his head, and was staring blankly in a daze.

Jiang Ye got out of the taxi, walked over quickly, took the lead in solving the problem, and asked the driver how much the total was.

The driver only reported the fare for Lu Chuan’s ride, and didn’t ask for more lost wages, but Jiang Ye still paid double the amount and said to the other party: “I’m sorry for wasting your time, and the extra one should be used as compensation for lost wages.” .”

After the driver drove away, Jiang Ye turned around and looked down at Lu Chuan who was still squatting on the side of the road.

Lu Chuan remembered it quite well, but...

Legs and feet are numb.

There was still some... unspeakable uneasiness in his heart, which made him dare not look up at him.

He could only stare at the pair of white shoes in front of him.

Jiang Ye stared at the top of his hair, didn't speak, and didn't let him get up.

Just be silent.

He was watching, the boy in front of him had his hair cut neatly, and was wearing his favorite simple and clean black and white collocation. Even though he was squatting on the ground, he could still feel that he had grown taller.

The atmosphere was silent, except for the tireless cicadas hiding in which tree.

Lu Chuan slowly pursed his lips, clutched the black schoolbag in his arms, his eyes were sore and astringent.

a long time.

Jiang Ye held out his hand.

Still did not speak.

Just reached out to him.

Lu Chuan stared blankly at the slender and fair hand in front of him.

The prayer beads on his wrist... are his.

It was the string he broke back then.

Lu Chuan stared blankly at his hand for several seconds, then slowly raised his hand and grabbed it.

Warm and a little soft.

With Jiang Ye's strength, Lu Chuan finally stood up.

It was only then that Lu Chuan clearly felt that there was a slightly obvious height difference between the two of them.

I haven't seen him for six years, and Jiang Ye has grown a lot taller, and is already a bit taller than him.

Lu Chuan looked up at him uncontrollably, and then quickly glanced away.

He didn't see Jiang Ye's current appearance clearly, but he probably knew from that quick glance that his hair was cut short and his eyes were dark and deep.It seems... the aura is much different from before.

No madness, no dragging, no wildness.

Only the calmness and coldness he had never felt in Jiang Ye was left.

It seemed that he was completely unfamiliar with it.

Lu Chuan blinked his swollen eyes vigorously.

Jiang Ye didn't say anything, and didn't let go of his hand.

Just hold him like this, and walk forward holding his hand.

Lu Chuan's legs felt unbearably numb as if they had been eaten by countless ants.

He barely followed him, staying half a step behind him.

Then he raised his eyes and stared blankly at the back of Jiang Ye's head.

Jiang Ye held his hand very tightly.

It was so tight that Lu Chuan gradually ignored the numbness of his legs and feet because of the pain in his hands.

Jiang Ye was absent-minded.

He has some fugue.

He didn't notice at all that Lu Chuan's walking posture was a bit strange because his legs and feet were numb.

Jiang Ye was immersed in his own world.

The moment Lu Chuan handed him his hand, it was as if he instantly grasped what had been lost in the past few years.

The empty hole in my heart seemed to be filled suddenly.

It was warm and soft, it was his hand.

Jiang Ye's heart beat fast in his chest.

He thought he got on the plane and left, but he was still there.

Still.

Although Lu Chuan didn't say where he was going, Jiang Ye seemed to know and dragged him to Lu Chuan's house.

At the door of the house, before Lu Chuan recovered his senses and wanted to open the door with the key, Jiang Ye took the key out of his pocket and inserted it into the keyhole.

Lu Chuan lowered his eyes and stared at the pendant hanging on the bunch of keys. It was the two dog pendants they gave each other.

Jiang Ye turned the key, and with a "click", the door opened, and he was suddenly brought back to his senses by the soft sound.

Only then did Jiang Ye belatedly realize what he was doing, immediately pulled out the key, and instantly let go of Lu Chuan's hand.

He curled up his hand, which suddenly became empty, and the palm was already moist at some point.

Jiang Ye whispered to Lu Chuan, "Go in."

Then he stretched out his hand and handed the key to Lu Chuan, "Do you want to keep this?"

Lu Chuan clenched the hand holding the bag tightly.

He raised his eyelids to look at Jiang Ye, but Jiang Ye's gaze wandered away, and his Adam's apple slipped.

"No need," Lu Chuan said lightly, "I have."

"Oh," Jiang Ye put away the key, pursed his lips lightly, paused for a moment, and said in a low voice, "Then I..." and left.

"Come in." Lu Chuan spoke first before he finished speaking.

After speaking, he stepped into the house.

The room was spotless, everything was just as he had left it.

Lu Chuan heard from Tan Ming.

Tan Ming told him that Jiang Ye often came over to be alone.

Jiang Ye froze at the door for a moment before he raised his heel and followed Lu Chuan in.

Lu Chuan was thirsty, so he got a glass of water from the water dispenser when he entered the living room, and then got another glass for Jiang Ye.

The two sat on the sofa, separated by a distance.

Lu Chuan leaned over to pick up the remote control on the coffee table and turned on the air conditioner.

Some old air conditioners made a slight creaking sound, which did not make the almost stagnant atmosphere too quiet.

Fortunately, the wind blowing out was cold, and the heat on Lu Chuan's body subsided a little.

No one spoke.

It seems that no matter what they do, there is such an indelible embarrassment.

Also.

After all, it has been six years.

In fact, in the past few years, Jiang Ye and Lu Chuan would learn about each other's recent situation from their friends.For example, Jiang Ye didn't go home for five years, and he received a scholarship every year, so he was definitely admitted to graduate school.

For example, the news that Lu Chuan will return to China every year, where he went after returning to China, and the approximate day when he will leave.

……

It's just that sometimes the news is a little out of date.

Like this time.

Lu Chuan has returned home.

Jiang Ye didn't know.

Lu Chuan went to his house, and he didn't know until his mother called to tell him.

half an hour.

Jiang Ye's voice finally sounded in the quiet room.

"Are you still going?" he asked.

Lu Chuan lowered his head a little, and replied, "I'm not leaving."

After a while, Jiang Ye asked again: "What are your plans next...?"

"Keep studying."

It's like an awkward chat, one question and one answer.

"Where?"

"Southern Medical University."

Jiang Ye suddenly fell silent, his heart froze.

Holding the water glass in his hand, Lu Chuan lowered his eyes slightly, staring at the cool and clear pure water, and did not speak again.

After a while.

He said slowly: "Let's go together, Brother Ye."

Time seems to be an hourglass, and it goes back to the year when I was 17 years old, back to the night when they lived in the hotel on the suburban island.

After drinking, Jiang Ye lay on the head of the bed and said seriously to Lu Chuan on the opposite bed: "Southern Medical University, I will go too."

"Let's go together, Lu Chuan."

——

"it is good."

Together we will.
