bud

Jiang Yu turned his head and looked out the window. At dusk, the sky was orange-red, and the whole teaching building was shrouded in a hazy and magnificent twilight. Only then did he realize that the sunset in winter is so beautiful.

Some people in the class had already returned after eating, Jiang Yu and Zi Luo sat in their seats, and on the table were a few test papers that had just been handed out during class as homework for the evening.

During the evening self-study, Hu Xiaoping walked in while patting a book——

"Cheer up! The final exam is coming soon. After you come back, you will enter the next semester. We didn't have a sprint class in the third year of high school, and our class A is equal to the sprint class..."

Hu Xiaoping knocked on the podium with his book and raised his voice very high, which sounded like a growl: "The head teacher of Class B said that at least five of his class will break into the top [-] in the final exam this time. You don't want to be transferred. The class will give me a good grade in the test—"

As soon as the students in class A of the final exam came, they were faced with the possibility of changing classes. Jiang Yu and Zi Luo's rankings were unshakable, and Zhou Shuosuo was purely the type who would study hard when there was an exam and then relax after the exam.The bottom five students can pack up their schoolbags and leave. If the decline is serious, they may not even be able to go to class B. After each big exam, a few new students from class A will join, but the time is not long, and almost none of Jiang Yu remember.

Normally, Class A should be crazy and playful, and when there is an exam, it will automatically fall into the mode of reviewing and brushing up questions. After class, most of the people are still sitting in the classroom, and at this moment, Zhong Tian and Zhou Shuosuo are rubbing their heads together. Goo.

Hou Yi took a look: "What are you two doing?"

"We're betting on who will be the number one in the final exam." Zhou Shuosuo said, "The class monitor actually said it was that little dwarf. Did you forget how many points we got from brother Luo last time?"

"Small" is the representative of the mathematics class in Class A. His name is Wang Mingming. He is not tall. Zhou Shuosuo likes to give people nicknames. When he calls out, the other party ignores him and sometimes gets a supercilious look.

Zhong Tian said: "Didn't you see Wang Mingming's state recently? Being squeezed to the second place is like crazy eating without seeing him go out to eat. What if he returns to the first place?"

Hou Yi made a cross in front of them: "You have to have confidence in your brother Luo, he is a man who can create miracles."

"Oh, Brother Luo," Zhong Tian said, "As long as he writes the composition carefully, he will not run away, but who doesn't know that Brother Luo's Chinese composition level fluctuates from high to low—fuck me! Who hit me?! Who? !"

Jiang Yu was holding half a piece of chalk in his hand, and the two of them were far away from each other, so they hit it quite accurately: "Squad leader, you can also keep your voice down, you brother Luo is still sitting here, how can you question him so blatantly?" writing level."

Zhou Shuosuo stretched out his hand and shouted: "Brother Luo! I bet you first! Come on! Let me win the class monitor with a figure of my goddess!"

Zi Luo raised his head and glanced at him: "It seems that I have to write well for your handmade composition."

"..." Zhong Tian thought for a moment, and then began to regret, "Why don't you gamble... I also think that Zi Luo can be the first in the exam..."

Zhou Shuosuo: "Get lost! Hou Yi is a witness, don't try to deny it!"

Holding the half piece of chalk in Jiang Yu's hand, he was thinking about the "figure" that Zhou Shuosuo said, and his fingertips were covered with white ash. He didn't finish the test paper until after school, so he just stuffed it in his bag and went to ride a bicycle. .

Zi landed on his left side. Seeing the red light in front of him, he still wanted to rush forward, so he reached out and grabbed Jiang Yu who was in a daze: "Xiao Jiang Yu, red light, what are you thinking?"

"...I didn't think about anything." Jiang Yu stepped back a little.

When he arrived at the door of the house, Jiang Yu said to Zi Luo, "Good night, see you tomorrow" and pushed the car into the yard. Xu Meiyin had just cleaned the kitchen, and when she saw him come back, she stood in the living room and said, "Are you hungry? I'll give you something if you have food." You warm up."

Jiang Yu didn't even turn his head: "I won't eat, Mom, I'll go to bed after finishing my homework."

Taking out the half-written test paper and throwing it on the table, Jiang Yu directly turned on the phone and clicked on Zhou Shuosuo's chat box——

Yu: Do you have any photos of the figures?

Zhou Shuoshuo will blink: wait a moment

About 2 minutes later, Zhou Shuosuo directly sent a picture. In the picture was an anime character with long hair reaching his waist. The most conspicuous part was his proud chest.

Yu: Can you order others?

Zhou Shuosuo will flicker: No way, I don’t know

Zhou Shuoshuo will flicker: What are you doing?

Encounter: give away

Zhou Shuoshuo will flicker: Then you can be a Nendoroid

Jiang Yu frowned, Nendoroid?What is this?

"Nendoroid?" The more he thought about it, the more familiar he became. Jiang Yu sat holding his phone for a while, and then he suddenly understood where the familiarity came from.He had seen a photo posted by Shuci Moments before, and in the photo were two giant Nendoroids of him and You Yezhi.

So Jiang Yu sent Shuci to WeChat——

Yu: Brother Ci, are you asleep?

At this time, Shuci had just finished the video with You Yezhi who was far away in Italy, and the phone was in his hand, and the message was replied quickly.

Word: no

Yu: I remember you customized a Nendoroid before, is it expensive?

Word: not expensive

Yu: How much did you make?

Ci: two more than 5000

This is not expensive... Jiang Yu touched his small wallet.

Jiang Yu asked a few more simple questions, and felt that there was nothing difficult, but he didn't know where Zhangcheng could customize it. Zi Luo's birthday was approaching, and he was afraid that it would be too late.

Ci: What do you want to customize?

Yu: Luoluo’s birthday is coming, I want to make one in his image

Word: yo

Jiang Yu felt uncomfortable with this "yo" for no reason, stretched out his hand to scratch his hair, cut out and searched on the map for a while, and found a few shops, but it was a little far from Baihua Street, and he planned to go there by bike at noon tomorrow.

He racked his brains every time for Zi Luo's birthday gift, even though Zi Luo said many times not to give it to him, he didn't take it lightly. Today, thanks to Zhou Shuosuo for giving him some inspiration, Jiang Yu, who was thinking about what to give, finally found it at this moment. After regaining my sanity, I finished the test paper in half an hour.

So the next day after lunch at noon, Jiang Yu pedaled his bicycle through the streets and arrived at the place in half an hour.

When he came out, he brought all the money, including more than 1000 yuan, which he usually saved.As a result, I went to the place and asked, and a small one cost more than 200 yuan. Jiang Yu took out the banknotes and asked to order two with better materials, and came out of the shop cheerfully in about 20 minutes.

Years ago, when the holiday was about to start, the factory was busy. Jiang Dezhi worked overtime almost every day. He didn’t come back until Jiang Yuxi had gone to bed. After a few days, I rushed to the store to get the finished product in the afternoon of the first day after the final exam.

When he turned into Baihua Hutong, he was sneaky, afraid that Zi Luo would come out and see what he was carrying in his hand. After returning home, he opened his Nendoroid and stared at it for a while, poking the baby's face with his hand, unable to bear it. Zhu murmured: "It's quite cute."

Jiang Yu didn't open Ziluo's Nendoroid, but just looked at it through the box for a long time, thinking that this arrogance can be seen even if it is made into a Q version, it is quite similar.

He took out a solid-colored cardboard from the drawer for a long time, wrote a blessing by hand, and fell asleep contentedly.

Several people who finished the math test the next day met in the playground. Zhongtian sat down honestly until the bell rang before handing in the paper. He met a few people and complained: "Why is the math test paper so difficult this time? Who gave it? Worse than the devil Li Dashan—"

When Jiang Yu was doing the questions, he also felt that the test papers this time were a little more difficult than the previous ones, but he and Zi Luo usually studied the questions a lot, so they never met anyone who couldn't write.

A large number of high school sophomores walked out of the school in groups. Zhou Shuosuo ran over from the sports room with a basketball in his arms: "It's only ten o'clock, let's go after playing some balls."

Before Jiang Yu nodded, he heard Zi Luo beside him say, "I won't fight anymore."

Jiang Yu asked, "Where are you going? Are you busy?"

"No." Zi Luo's voice was very soft, and he glanced at him, "I'm going home."

"Is there someone at home?"

"No."

"..." Jiang Yu heard that he didn't want to say anything, so he was silent for a while and didn't ask further questions. The two of them didn't play ball, and they went home by bike.

Xu Meiyin went to the store and didn't come back, Jiang Dezhi didn't arrive at get off work, and no one was at home. Jiang Yu lay down on the bed and read for a while, but couldn't concentrate for a long time. He got up from the bed and found the Nendoroid to read for a long time.

Zi Luo was the only person in the Zi family compound. Zi Luo unpacked the courier he brought back and took out the unfinished shou shou from the cabinet. Knowing this, I went to ask Xie Xiaoan specifically, and it is not difficult to see that the index finger has been pricked with more than one small needle hole.

After the completion, on the last day of the final exam, this time the two of them had their birthday coincidentally on Saturday and Sunday, Zi Luo stuffed a piece of long jade that Xie Xiaoan gave him into the imperial guard, and finally sewed it into a transparent bag and hung it up. a short yellow rope.

The evening sun refracted in through the window, Zi Luo hung Yushou on his index finger and held it up in front of his eyes for a while, then put it down and walked out of the house to look for Xie Xiaoan.

Xie Xiaoan was on the phone, Zi Luo asked, "Mom, where is the other piece of Changyu you gave me earlier?"

Xie Xiao'an listened to the elder sister on the other end of the phone talking about something, and when he heard him asking this question, she didn't have time to pursue it, so she subconsciously pointed to the cabinet beside her.

Zi Luo found a box in the drawer, and when he opened it, there was another piece of jade inside, which was moist and translucent, so he took it back to the room directly.

After hanging up the phone, Xie Xiaoan remembered this and came to knock on his door, and walked in after knocking: "Why do you want another piece of jade? What about the piece I gave you a few years ago?"

Zi Luo head leaned against the head of the bed, looked at the half piece of jade in his hand, and said, "Give it away."

"Give it away?!" Xie Xiaoan's eyes widened in an instant, and he sat on his bed and asked, "When I gave it to you, I promised to give it to your future daughter-in-law. Why did you suddenly give it away at your age?"

Zi Luo smiled and said nothing, Xie Xiaoan frowned: "Tell Mom if you have a crush on some girl? Oh, I'll give it away after you catch it!"

"I'll give it away if I want to." Zi Luo sat up straight and looked at the darkened sky outside the window, "It's best if you chase after him, and it doesn't matter if you can't catch up."

When Xie Xiaoan heard that his son really had someone he liked, and it sounded like he had sent Yu out before he started to act, he said anxiously: "This jade was passed down from your grandma, it is very expensive, you'd better be able to chase after it." Go to others, otherwise it will be a blessing!"

Zi Luo smiled softly: "It's not a loss."

Xie Xiaoan still felt a little distressed: "Don't regret it in the future."

"I won't." Zi Luo put the jade on a rope and hung it around his neck, and the jade that he rubbed with his fingertips became hot, and repeated, "I won't regret it."

Zi Luo has always been prudent and down-to-earth in doing things, Xie Xiaoan saw that he was persistent and determined, so it was not easy to ask other questions. Thinking of the past few days, Zi Luo took a few pieces of fabric and asked her how to sew flowers and characters, and combined with this piece of jade, it was almost the same. I gave it to a girl together.

"What did you sew as a gift?"

"Nothing, peace amulet."

Xie Xiao'an was a little surprised: "You're quite novel, other people give girls things like rag doll perfume and lipstick."

Zi Luo didn't answer the call, she lay down on the bed and covered her face with the quilt: "You should wash up and sleep."

Everyone who finished the final exam was looking forward to the winter vacation. After Jiang Yu finished playing, he found that Shen Zilu had sent him a message, saying that he and Zi Luo would celebrate their birthday together tomorrow.

Jiang Yu looked up and saw Zi Luo walking towards him, and told him the news: "Brother Qiu and the others are going to celebrate our birthday."

"Go wash your hands." Zi Luo said.

Jiang Yu washed his hands and shook them. Thinking that he might not have much money left in his pocket after his birthday, he asked, "Have you found a suitable part-time job?"

Zi Luo said, "I haven't watched it recently."

"Me neither." Jiang Yu put on the gloves, thinking to go back and have a look.

At night, the Baihua Hutong was so quiet that even the sound of the wind could be heard. There seemed to be a stray cat outside, which barked a few times and ran away.Jiang Yu tossed and turned in bed, he couldn't fall asleep at this time of year.

Press the phone screen to display 23:27.

For no other reason, he was waiting for Zi to fall.

At 30 o'clock, Zi Luo sent a voice call, Jiang Yuyi Gulu sat up, waited for a few seconds and pressed to answer.

Zi Luo's side was very quiet, and his lowered voice was as hoarse as ever: "Did you sleep?"

"No." Jiang Yu looked at the clothes he had changed a long time ago, and he didn't have the nerve to say that he was ready, "I can't sleep."

Zi Luo smiled twice and opened the door: "Come out."

Jiang Yu said that he was ready to get out of bed, but he felt that he couldn't be so anxious, at least he had to wait a minute before going out, but the 1 seconds seemed particularly tormenting at the moment, so Jiang Yu thought about it, put on a scarf and go straight After leaving the gate, there was already a figure standing under the silver street lamp at the entrance of the alley.

"Is it cold? Come out without a scarf." The temperature dropped sharply in the winter night, Jiang Yu rubbed his hands and ran to Zi Luo, "Where are we going?"

Zi Luo wore a white down jacket with a sweater under it, and the neck was exposed, and the red string could be vaguely seen.He looked up at the sky: "Park?"

Jiang Yu turned around: "Let's go."

Along the way, they were only accompanied by the light of street lamps, passing a few cars occasionally, and they walked forward against the wind. Jiang Yu tore off the scarf and put it around Zi Luo's neck, and saw Zi Luo's white neck through the light. There was a rope, and Jiang Yu asked, "What are you wearing? I remember not having it before?"

Zi Luo's eyes fell on his neck, holding the still warm scarf in his hand, and said, "It's nothing, a piece of jade my mother gave me earlier."

"Oh." Jiang Yu nodded, "You wear more when you go out, when will you develop the habit of wearing a scarf."

Zi Luo said, "I'm not cold, I'm wearing long johns."

"..."

Jiang Yu sneaked a glance at Zi Luo's long legs, and stuffed his hands into his pockets. He came out in a hurry, without the pair of woolen gloves that Zi Luo gave him, and his hands were a little cold at the moment.

The park is very big, they chose a hidden place near the gate and sat down, Jiang Yu looked up at the sky, and found that the winter night was not inferior to the summer night, and the silver light scattered all over the sky was brighter than the light of street lamps.

Jiang Yu suddenly remembered the time when he and Zi Luo hugged the little quilt and went up to the top floor to watch the shooting star when he was a child, but he couldn't hold back and fell asleep first. When he asked Zi Luo the next day, he learned that he didn't watch it either. After sleeping on the top floor with his head next to his head, it was a pity for Jiang Yu to think about it afterward.

With stars in his eyes, he said, "It would be great if we could see shooting stars now."

Zi Luo took off the scarf and wrapped it around the necks of the two of them. The distance between them got closer. He followed Jiang Yu and looked up at the sky: "If there is a next time, don't fall asleep again."

"Well, I want to make a wish."

"It's okay, you can make a wish in five minutes."

Jiang Yu looked back at him: "But there is no cake."

"It doesn't have to be a cake." Zi Luo didn't turn his head to look at him, "Isn't such a beautiful starry sky worth your wish?"

Jiang Yu's eyes lit up: "That's right, and then I will make another wish on my birthday at night. In this way, I have made two wishes. Will God think I am greedy?"

Zi Luo couldn't help laughing. When he turned his head, he almost touched the tip of his nose. When he stepped back, the scarf pulled and brought Jiang Yu back.He tilted his head to prevent the two from bumping into each other, and supported Jiang Yu's shoulder: "Close your eyes, the time is coming."

Jiang Yu stared at him for a while, turned his head to look at the starry sky, and then closed his eyes.

Every year on the day before their birthday, the two of them would sneak out of the house, whether they went to the park or went out to press the road, Zi Luo was never absent.Zi Luo would say happy birthday to him at twelve o'clock on the hour, whether face to face or playful with a little distance, Zi Luo would always be No.1.

Jiang Yu couldn't remember what happened before the age of five, but after the age of five, Jiang Yu could see Zi Luo every day, even if it was a holiday, he would go to his house to play, and he would run over to his relatives' house early in the morning Said to Ziluo: "I'm going to my aunt's house, come back to play with you."

Zi Luohui nodded with a smile, waved at him, and watched the little figure run towards the direction of the car.

Once a habit is formed, it is difficult to change. Jiang Yu is used to the life of Zi Luo around him. Many people go to university and go to different places, but he doesn't want to be separated from Zi Luo, so he has to study hard and want to be with Zi Luo. Zi Luo stood at the same high point.As for the distant things like "what will happen in the future", let's think about it later.

Even if Zi Luo really wants to be with the person he likes, it's fine to watch silently, he doesn't want to be separated from Zi Luo.

"You today, God allows you to be greedy." Zi Luo's voice rang in his ears, "Xiao Jiang Yu, happy birthday."

Jiang Yu opened his eyes and looked at him. The person in front of him was smiling brightly. His figure seemed to overlap with Zi Luo, who was still young and full of childishness.

But Jiang Yu knew that he became more and more dependent on Zi Luo, unable to extricate himself and liked him even more.

After Zi Luo finished speaking, Jiang Yu's cell phone beeped one after another, and he didn't bother to look at it, because he saw a safety talisman dangling in front of him, with several small white daisies on it, embroidered vividly.

When the breeze stopped, Jiang Yu could clearly see the words embroidered on the front and back of the safety talisman——

Peace, Fusheng.

"This..." Jiang Yu stretched out his hand to hold it, put it in the palm of his hand and looked at it, "Did you embroider it?"

Zi Luo smiled lightly and said, "Yes."

Jiang Yu raised his head in surprise: "You know how to embroider?"

"No, it's not difficult to learn from my mother." Zi Luo lowered his head, "Do you like it?"

The peace talisman in his hand was a bit heavy. Jiang Yu stared at the creamy yellow cloth and the word "Ping An" for a few seconds, then nodded after clenching it tightly: "What's in it?"

Zi Luo said truthfully, "A piece of jade."

"Ah." Jiang Yu's astonishment persisted, staring at the amulet in his hand unwilling to look away, and murmured, "It's so beautiful."

Zi Luo took off the scarf, took out a small bear doll from the bag, took out the wired remote control from the doll's pocket, and pressed it, Jiang Yu heard a childish and mechanical voice saying: "Hello, Welcome to Daidai—press 1 to record directly, press 2 to automatically play the recording for you, press 3 to speak the keyword and Daidai will search for the recording for you..."

Jiang Yu saw Zi Luo press 2, the doll was quiet for a while, and then a familiar voice sounded——

"Jiang Yu, happy birthday, listen to it a few more times, you will be full of joy."

"..." Jiang Yu was dumbfounded, "You really bought a recording doll?"

Zi Luo smiled and said, "Yes."

"Fuck!" Jiang Yu took the remote control in his hand and held the doll for a while, "I'll just say it casually... no elementary school students will give this away, okay?"

As he said this, he pressed 2 again, Zi Luo's voice sounded again, and Jiang Yu couldn't help laughing: "Is that the only sentence?"

Zi Luo said, "What else do you want to hear?"

Jiang Yu thought for a while: "Isn't the Chinese New Year coming soon?"

Zi Luo hung the scarf around his neck: "I'll record Happy New Year for you on that day, okay, childish ghost."

Jiang Yu pouted: "That's not enough, I have to come to all festivals, and I will put it on the bedside when I go back."

The phone was still ringing, Jiang Yu took it out and took a look, and found that someone else had sent a message to wish him a happy birthday. Once he opened the message, there were so many messages that he couldn't come back. Jiang Yu simply didn't reply, and put the phone back in his pocket.

The peace talisman was held warmly by him, and Jiang Yu didn't let go of it all the way, holding it in front of his eyes from time to time to look at it for a while.When they reached the door of the house, the two of them stopped, and the moment Zi Luo turned around, Jiang Yu rushed forward.

The weight of a person was hanging on him, and Zi Luo took a step back. He hadn't recovered from his sudden movement, and he raised his hand and felt that it was not suitable to put it anywhere. He opened his mouth and shouted softly: "Jiang Yu... ..."

"Thank you Luoluo." Jiang Yu closed his eyes and said, "Thank you for being here every year."
