Baihua Road is full of old pagoda trees, the leaves are still green, and a few leaves will sway and fall after the breeze blows from time to time.Every household has a small yard, some of which have been converted into small rooms, but most of them like to grow some flowers and vegetables.

"It smells so good." Jiang Yu sniffed the fragrance that permeated the air a few more times, "What kind of flower is so fragrant?"

Zi Luo took his basketball and patted it a few times and walked forward: "Why do you think I can smell it?"

Jiang Yu pouted: "Just ask, in case you know."

The basketball made a "bang bang" sound, and followed the two people forward again and again.This basketball was given to Jiang Yu by Zi Luo on his birthday two years ago. Their birthdays are only one day apart, so they have been together for so many years since they were young.At that time, Jiang Yu didn't have much money, so he couldn't buy good things to give to Zi Luo. After racking his brains for a long time, he ran to a bakery by the side of the road, made a small cake by himself, and handed it to Zi Luo.

Of course they ended up eating together.

"Mr. Hu said that you can go to the school's physics laboratory during the holidays." Zi Luo held the ball in both hands, "Don't forget that the competition is next month."

Jiang Yu rubbed his head: "How can I forget when you're here——Hey Luoluo, don't mention it when you're on vacation, I didn't write a single word of my homework."

"Um……"

Suddenly a whistle sounded from behind, and then a voice rang out: "The two pretty boys in front!"

...Who is this? !

Jiang Yu frowned and turned his head, he was slightly taken aback when he saw a handsome figure not far away: "Brother Ci?!"

"That's right, it's me." Shuci walked towards them, "Go play ball, take me with you."

Jiang Yu laughed in surprise: "When did you come back?"

"Just arrived in the morning."

"you alone?"

"Your Brother You is back too." Shu Ci caught the basketball in Zi Luo's hand, "I said I would come to play with you two, but I didn't let him come over."

During the Chinese New Year, Shuci brought You Yezhi back. Jiang Yu's eyes were straight when he saw You Yezhi for the first time. It was not because he was so handsome, but because You Yezhi was a very famous man. clothing designer.He had seen the clothes he designed and himself in a fashion show on TV, so Jiang Yu had a good impression of You Yezhi.

When they arrived at the basketball court, several people had already occupied the westernmost field. They were still wearing loose short sleeves and shorts in autumn. Jiang Yu took a look from a distance and saw clearly that they were a few people from the same school as them.

There are many people of the same age in this neighborhood. Although they grew up in Baihua Hutong since childhood, Jiang Yu rarely interacts with others.Because he didn't like to approach people when he was a child, and then he had a few words with the children in the neighborhood, and he grew up to be a stranger.

The players over there saw them and stopped for a while. The taller boy glanced at Jiang Yu. He wanted to say "Hey" at first, but he held back after reading the scriptures. He just raised his chin provocatively. A very small and shallow scar can be seen on the left cheek.

There is no other reason, because Shuci beat him to tears before.

Zi Luo looked away expressionlessly, Jiang Yu ignored it, and Shu Ci didn't look there at all. After warming up for a while, he jumped up and threw a ball.

In fact, Shuci also bullied and cried Jiang Yu when he was a child. At that time, Jiang Yu was still young, and Shuci was already a boy in his teens. Before he was adopted, he was dishonest in the orphanage. Bullying the children in Baihua Hutong is now bullying the people in the school.

That time Jiang Yu was bullied miserably, and he didn't dare to go home and tell Xu Meiyin, Zi Luo rushed to Mu Dexiang's house angrily to find Shuci to settle the score.Shuci belongs to the bullying and run away. It doesn't matter to me whether you cry or not. When you go back and sue your parents, you will sue. After suing, you will tease the next one.Later, I don't know what Mu Dexiang said to Shuci. Shuci's attitude towards Jiang Yu changed drastically. He gave him delicious food and took him to fight with him.

Xu Meiyin still feels that Jiang Yu's constant fights are caused by his calligraphy.

But after Shuci helped Jiang Yu once, the relationship became better.In terms of how to help, the scar on the corner of Chen Xuan's mouth is a good mark, which probably won't be erased in this lifetime.

The three of them stood for a while, Chen Xuan's group stopped fighting, Jiang Yu turned around when he heard footsteps, and saw Chen Xuan walking towards them.

Chen Xuan wanted to smile or not: "Brother Ci, when did you come back?"

Shuci moved his wrist, turned his head when he saw who it was, and said, "Morning."

The tone was very light, Chen Xuan paused, and then said: "The three of you are so boring to play, why don't you come with us."

Chen Xuan's mouth is bad, but it's okay when he grows up. When he was a child, Shu Ci helped Jiang Yu beat him because he talked nonsense.At that time, just after school in the afternoon, Chen Xuan ran to Jiang Yu with a popsicle stick in his mouth and a schoolbag on his back, pointing at him and saying, "You were not born to your mother!"

Adults always like to say this kind of thing when children are young, and when they get angry with children, they will say that you picked it up from the garbage dump, gave it away for phone bills, and so on.It's purely for fun, but children are immature after all, and some really believe it, and their mouths are curled up to cry, only to be coaxed by their parents that it is all fake.

Everyone who heard this sentence felt pimples in their hearts, and Jiang Yu was dumbfounded at the time.Chen Xuan shouted loudly again: "My mother said that you were not born by your mother!"

It’s fine for me to say it myself, and I added “my mother said”, which undoubtedly added a little more credibility. Jiang Yu stayed outside for half an hour and didn’t come home. dictionaries.

Seeing his aggrieved and sad face, Shu Ci squatted on the stone pier to coax him for a while, and finally became anxious: "If you don't say anything else, I'll go back and sue your father!"

Jiang Dezhi was like a bomb in Xiao Jiangyu's heart. Whether he was wronged or got good grades in the exam, Jiang Yu would never tell Jiang Dezhi, so let alone mention it.

Shu Ci also asked Jiang Yu because of this point, and the effect was very good. Jiang Yu said the matter in a muffled voice, and Shu Ci immediately pulled him to call Zi Luo, who was looking for Jiang Yu, and went to Chen Xuan Home.

The door was open, but Shuci still kicked it very hard, the door rang loudly, and Shuci pointed to the north room: "Where is Chen Xuan! Come out for me!!!"

It was Chen Xuan's mother who came out first, thinking who was making such a loud noise, and when she saw the little bully adopted by Mu Dexiang when she went out, she lost her good face in an instant: "What are you kid doing kicking my house?!"

After Chen Xuan ran out, he saw Shuci, and was afraid to sneak behind his mother.After all, Shuci is well-known for his deeds of overlord in this area, and any child who has not been bullied by him is lucky.

Shu Ci ignored his mother, Jiang Yu and Zi Luo were still standing beside him, pointing at Chen Xuan who kept retreating and repeating for half an hour: "You are not born by your mother, you were picked up by your mother from the farm. Yes, when you picked it up, you were sucking milk in the arms of the big wolf dog!"

In the next few years, Chen Xuan was shocked when he saw the big wolf dog.

The man was still standing behind him, Shuci didn't even turn his head: "I just like boring."

A bunch of people were waiting behind him, Chen Xuan couldn't hold back his expression, and said with a smile, "Okay, then you guys play."

Playing basketball is like playing a game. I get angry when I play a game, but I am tired after scoring a goal. But the only thing is that the time passes quickly after playing.Chen Xuan's group had already left at some point, the three of them chatted for a while, chatted for a while, and stopped when they saw the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Both of you go back and take a shower." Shuci sat on the ground, "Come to my house for dinner tonight."

Zi Luo stood there, with the blush of the setting sun behind him, and asked him, "Does Grandpa Mu cook?"

Shuci laughed: "No, the food you cook is very delicious."

In the afternoon, You Yezhi and Mu Dexiang went out for a stroll, went to the supermarket, bought the vegetables and fish explained in the book, picked some fresh pork chops, said that Jiang Yu and Ziluo liked to eat them, and went out of the supermarket full of food. Two full bags.

After arriving home, Shuci had just come out of the bathroom, his whole body was covered with cold air, this man actually took a shower with cold water in autumn, You Yezhi frowned: "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Shuci rubbed his hair: "It's okay, I have strong resistance."

"Oh, don't come near me if you have a cold."

"Tsk." Shu Ci glanced back and saw that Mu Lao was not there, so he leaned closer and hugged him, "It's too hot to play ball all afternoon, and if I wash it with hot water, I'll faint."

You Yezhi stretched out his hand and pushed him away: "Go and dry your hair."

After Jiang Yu and Zi Luo took a shower and changed their clothes, Jiang Dezhi waved his hand without raising his head after he finished speaking.Xie Xiao'an liked calligraphy very much, so he didn't ask too much, so he was very relieved.

The two of them went out of the alley to Wang's Convenience Store to buy two popsicles with mouthpieces, and picked a few others. When they arrived at Shuci's house, it was already dark outside. You Yezhi came out to greet the two of them and then went in. out of the kitchen.

At this moment, Kung Fu Shuci took out his poker cards, ate popsicles in his mouth until his mouth was cold, and after making noise for more than an hour, the meals were brought out one after another.

It is rare for Jiang Yu to eat a particularly normal meal at home. What he considers normal is not appetizers, but fresh and tender meat and delicious stir-fry, instead of just eating noodles every time.

He used to be full after eating at home for a while, but tonight he sat at the dining table at Shu Ci's for almost an hour and felt that he didn't have enough.

You Yezhi's cooking is really delicious, very delicious, I can't find an adjective for it.Jiang Yu clinked glasses with Shuci, took a sip of the wine, and then let his mouth relax: "It's so delicious, and it's too powerful. The clothes designed are so beautiful and the cooking is so delicious."

Zi Luo also raised his head to look at You Yezhi, and nodded in agreement.

You Yezhi didn't drink, smiled and said: "You can come over these few days."

"Yes." Mu Dexiang drank some white wine, especially seeing that he likes children to get together, and said with a smile, "Come and play if you have nothing to do, and eat here at noon and night!"

Jiang Yu felt embarrassed: "It's not very good..."

Shuci filled them with wine: "What's wrong, it's hard to meet once. And you Brother You can't go back to the country several times a year, so you may not know when you want to eat next time."

You Yezhi continues to study fashion design at the Italian Academy. Sometimes he is very busy and has a foreign country with Shuci, but the two of them have agreed that they will not see each other for more than three months at most, so when You Yezhi has no time to come back, Shuci He will buy a plane ticket and fly there, after all, he is preparing for the public examination and has a lot of free time.

Jiang Yu said that he wanted to exercise his drinking capacity, but after drinking two bottles of beer, he still felt dizzy. Zi Luo couldn't help laughing at him: "I guess I won't be able to wait for the day when your drinking capacity is particularly good."

"..." Jiang Yu was almost full, and turned to look at him, "I'll show you the liquor next time."

Zi Luo nodded: "Then I have to be ready to carry you home?"

Jiang Yu asked, "Can you memorize me?"

While Shuci was talking with You Yezhi, Zi Luo lowered his voice, his voice was always hoarse: "Try?"

Jiang Yuxin stared at him suddenly, his eyes were dizzy, and he didn't know what his eyes looked like in Zi Luo's eyes, and he replied under the emotion of pounding heartbeat: "Try it, just try it." .”

"Try what?" Shu Ci turned his head and asked.

Jiang Yu rubbed his nose: "Oh, it's nothing, Luoluo laughed that I don't drink well."

Shu Ci laughed a few times: "Isn't your drinking capacity always like this?"

The people around him laughed, and Jiang Yu felt his cheeks burn a bit: "So I'm going to try baijiu next time!"

Probably because he was stimulated, Jiang Yutie wanted to exercise his drinking capacity, Zi Luo watched him open another bottle of beer and didn't stop him, silently serving him some food.

Shuci's eyes lingered on Zi Luo for a moment, and then on Jiang Yu. Seeing that the man drank every drink, he still couldn't help but persuade him: "Don't drink, in case Uncle Jiang scolds you again when you go back."

When Jiang Dezhi was mentioned, Jiang Yu raised the corners of his mouth and smiled: "I'm not afraid of him."

It is estimated that no one who lives in Baihua Street knows about Jiang Yu's family. They don't usually mention it, so Shuci will not take the initiative to say it.Seeing that he couldn't stop, the three of them ate, drank and chatted with Zi Luo for more than an hour.

Today, after drinking four bottles of beer, for the first time in his life, Jiang Yu stood still and waved to Shu Ci and You Yezhi, and then greeted Mu Dexiang before going home.

Shu Ci sent them out, grabbed Zi Luo and said a few words.

Jiang Yu vaguely heard something, and Shuci was worried that he would be scolded when he went home, so he asked Zi Luo to watch him, and it would be best if he could take him home to sleep.

"No." Jiang Yu lowered his head and muttered, "No..."

Zi Luo came over just in time to hear him muttering, and asked, "Why not?"

Jiang Yu repeated: "I just can't do it!"

Zi Luo only thought that he had drunk too much. At this time, many old people came out for a walk. When they met acquaintances, Zi Luo took Jiang Yu to say hello to uncle, hello to aunt, hello to uncle, and hello to aunt.Jiang Yu didn't actually see what the man looked like, and when he heard Zi Luo calling, he followed suit.

The flowers hadn't withered yet, and she could smell the faint breath. When the wind blew over, Jiang Yu's body was crooked.

Zi Luo supported his arm, but he broke free, and said bravely, "Don't help me, I didn't drink too much, I'll walk straight to show you."

After Jiang Yu finished speaking, he walked in front of him. His pace was slow but unsteady. The straight line he had agreed to walk turned into a diagonal line, and the more he walked, the more crooked he went.

"Jiang Yu." Zi Luo called him.

Jiang Yu didn't look back: "Straight!"

"..." Shit.

Zi Luo walked over and dragged the man beside him, and glanced at him by the light of the street lamp.Jiang Yu doesn't drink well, but if he drinks too much, he won't look good. If he sits there quietly and doesn't speak, it won't be obvious that he has passed out.

There were fewer people in the alley, and the branches of the trees were hanging down long. Jiang Yu's face was teased by the leaves a few times.

Zi Luo looked back at him.

Jiang Yu said, "Try."

Zi Luo didn't speak.

"You carry me on your back, try."

Zi Luo looked at him for a while: "Okay."

There was another gust of wind blowing, fresh and cool, the hem of the two people's clothes rose and fell, Jiang Yu looked at the figure squatting in front of him, and stood there for a while without moving.

Zi Luo didn't remind him either.

About another minute later, Zi Luo felt a weight on his back, and then two white arms appeared in front of him.

Jiang Yu's heart was beating violently, and he didn't dare to wrap his arms around Ziluo's neck with his hands in front of him, so he just asked, "...Am I heavy?"

Zi Luo stood up slowly and found that his body was really heavy.The two of them are about the same height, and their bodies are quite similar, but Zi Luo seems to be taller than him, even if it is like this, it is still quite difficult to carry.

He didn't answer, and suddenly remembered when he was a child: "I also carried you on my back before."

Jiang Yu was slightly taken aback when he heard that his voice hadn't changed: "Why don't I remember?"

Zi Luo grabbed his arms and paused before saying, "It happened before I was five years old."

That time, Jiang Yu and Zi Luo went to play by the lake. There were small stones on the side of the road. Jiang Yu staggered and fell and ate dog shit. Fortunately, his face was not broken, but his wrist was scratched. He stood up and stood up. It also hurt so badly that Zi Luo didn't know it was sprained.

Four-year-old Zi Luo couldn't move Jiang Yu, and it took almost half an hour to get home.But Jiang Yu didn't remember these things.

The people behind were silent and did not speak, Zi Luo's back stiffened, letting Jiang Yu lie on his shoulders.

"Luoluo." Jiang Yu's voice was low and muffled, "I really want to think about what happened before I was five years old, what happened in those years I was missing."

Zi Luo looked ahead, and said in a deep voice: "It's okay, and you don't have to remember."

Jiang Yu said behind him: "But I want to know my brother Jiang Lai, even a little memory."

Zi Luo didn't speak.

"But why can't I remember anything?"

"It's okay, Jiang Yu." Zi Luo said softly, "It's fine if you don't remember."

Jiang Yu stopped talking, and lay comfortably on his back, hearing his exhausted panting voice, and was so greedy that he didn't want to let go.

Zi Luo walked steadily, supporting Jiang Yu's legs with both hands, looking at the alley in front of his house, as if he could still see the two small figures running around.

Four-year-old Zi Luo couldn't carry Jiang Yu on his back, they were all growing up, and 17-year-old Zi Luo wanted to carry him on his back, no matter how hard it was, no matter how difficult or slow, he would try his best to make Jiang Yu happy.

He just likes and is willing, even if Jiang Yu will never know.
