bud

It was almost two o'clock and Xu Meiyin was still asleep, she was sitting on the sofa waiting for Jiang Yu with a coat on, and opened her red eyes when she heard the door open.

Jiang Yu was a little surprised, because Xu Meiyin had never waited for him to go home like this.

But when his eyes moved from Xu Meiyin's red eyes to the box of cigarettes on the table, he instantly understood where Xu Meiyin's anger on the phone came from.

Xu Meiyin looked at him sternly: "What time is it? I know you've finished the exam, but you can't be so presumptuous."

Jiang Yu didn't listen to her words, and kept looking at the cigarettes and lighters that should have been in his drawer. He frowned: "Did you go through my drawer?"

"It's turned over, what's the matter, I can't turn it over as a mother?" Xu Meiyin pointed at the pack of cigarettes and said, "Half a pack! Half a pack is gone! Who did you learn from? Who told you to smoke? ?!"

Jiang Yu looked at Xu Meiyin who was glaring at him, and the moment he heard the phrase "I'm a mother, I can't do it yet" and didn't want to argue with her about whether or not I should look through the drawer.Just laughed, and answered her: "Such a simple thing, do you still have to learn?"

Xu Meiyin was slightly taken aback by this casual and indifferent attitude, thinking of that night when she opened the door and saw Jiang Yu holding a cigarette in his hand and Jiang Dezhi looking at each other, with a gloomy and cold light in her eyes that she had never seen before.

She felt instantly that she didn't seem to know Jiang Yu at all.

"You—" Xu Meiyin's voice was trembling, and her tone gradually softened, "Smoking is not good for your health, Jiang Yu, mom is doing it for your own good."

It was too late, Jiang Yu was a little sleepy.He closed his eyes and walked towards the house: "Go to sleep early, Mom."

Xu Meiyin said: "Quit smoking, be obedient."

Jiang Yu didn't speak, and locked the door behind him.

He has never been a good boy who is submissive, nor is he a good baby who will only hold back when he is wronged. It is not that he has never resisted or lost his temper, but these actions of children are rebellious in the eyes of adults. immature.

Jiang Dezhi's temper is volatile, as is Xu Meiyin's.Jiang Yu couldn't remember what year it was, but he only remembered that he was still in junior high school, and that summer was so hot that every room was air-conditioned.Xu Meiyin went to his room and said, "Don't turn on the air conditioner by yourself, and sleep on the floor in my room, it won't be cold in summer."

In fact, it wasn't a matter of whether the ground was cool or not, but that he didn't want to stay with Jiang Dezhi.

So Jiang Yu didn't agree, and Xu Meiyin was not very happy, and kept whispering in his ear, "I forgot to turn it on and on, and you don't need to pay the electricity bill for one night", "Go to sleep in that room, why can the family sleep in the same room?" Talk", "Why are you disobedient? Can't you understand something when you're too old?" Xu Meiyin couldn't stop nagging for half an hour. Jiang Yu was so upset by her words that she put the book on the table: " Can you stop talking, don't you bother!"

Xu Meiyin's eyes widened, Jiang Dezhi appeared at the door, and the couple began to educate Jiang Yu in turn.

It sounds good to say that education is good, but it is actually blame and complaint, mixed with a few words of abuse.

Jiang Yu was so angry that he yelled at them and slammed the door with his slippers on. He didn't take anything, and no one came after him when he walked out of Baihua Street.

It doesn't matter, he doesn't want to go back either.

He wandered the streets for a long time, watching the grandpas and aunts dancing in the square, young couples walking their dogs, and seeing a family of three or four dressed casually out for a walk.They seemed to be accompanied by someone, none of them were at a loss, but he himself didn't even know where he was going at the moment.

He sat on the bench by the side of the road for a long time, and a few mosquito bites swelled up on his calf. He stretched out his hands and scratched, and finally it was painful. When he looked down, he seemed to be scratched.

When I came out, I didn’t bring anything with me. The grandparents who were dancing in the square in front of me had already left, only a few people hurried past occasionally, and there were fewer cars on the road.

Jiang Yu looked up at the lights on the side of the road. Under the lights, he could clearly see the fine dust that had been raised up because of the fast driving of the car. No one cared about it, drifting away quietly.

Jiang Yu didn't want to feed the mosquitoes anymore, so he walked for a long time.It was already midnight, some roads were not lit, and he was the only one on such a road, Jiang Yu shrank his neck in the wind, saying that he was not afraid of being fake.

A light appeared in front of him, and Jiang Yu saw two figures, one of whom was shining in his direction with a flashlight.

The two were talking with their heads down, but Jiang Yu didn't hear clearly. He saw the light flicker suddenly, and the man ran towards him.

Jiang Yu was startled, and immediately ran into the nearest unit. He was stunned before climbing a few steps, because there was a hard, cold anti-theft door in front of him.

He can't get in.

He looked back in fear, and kept his body close to the door, begging the two people not to chase after him.

The surrounding area was very quiet, there was no sound of footsteps, Jiang Yu walked down and looked around, but saw nothing.He almost ran away, ran to another unit, and knocked on the door of Hou Yi's house.

Hou Yi's parents were on a business trip, and they were listening to music alone in the room. A few minutes later, they heard a knock on the door. When they opened the door, they saw Jiang Yushi who was being bitten madly by mosquitoes. Let him sleep here with peace of mind.

The next day Jiang Yu woke up early, ate some milk and bread that Hou Yi took out from the refrigerator, and was still wearing the same suit that he ran out of last night, stuffed two coins that Hou Yi gave him and went home.

When Jiang Dezhi took a slender branch and whipped him at him, Jiang Yu was not surprised.He huddled in a corner, taking the slaps and lashes, very hard.

He heard Xie Xiao'an eagerly asking Xu Meiyin what was going on, but Xu Meiyin's voice couldn't hear any ups and downs, just saying that he was ignorant.

The door was locked from the inside, no one could open it, Zi Luo stood silently next to Xie Xiaoan, staring at the door without leaving.

Jiang Yu saw a lot of bruises on his arms and legs, which hurt very much, really hurt, but he didn't beg for mercy.

He looked up at Jiang Dezhi, who was blushing, and heard Jiang Dezhi say: "Do you think I dare not beat you! You are so old and you will run away from home, how capable are you? Then why are you coming back! Let you give I'll run away! I can't even blame you, can I—"

Jiang Yu kept staring at Jiang Dezhi without shedding a single tear.

That night, Jiang Yu dreamed of Jiang Lai.

Jiang Lai is very handsome and always speaks to others with a smile, very polite.From other people's point of view, apart from Jiang Lai being smart, sensible, and filial, one more thing is that he loves his younger brother very much.

Jiang Yu in the dream was only a few years old, his eyes were crooked following his footsteps, he hadn't learned to speak yet, he just tugged at Jiang Lai's trouser legs, Jiang Lai lowered his head and hugged him in his arms, and reached out to give him a lollipop.

As soon as the scene changed, he was playing with a little boy his age at the door. There were several very loud and fierce dog barks from the other side of the alley, and then someone screamed.Xiao Jiang met the soil in his hand, and looked at it with his eyes open, but he didn't understand anything until the wild dog ran towards him.

The moment he was about to pounce on him, a figure stood in front of him and kicked the dog away, but the wild dog was so ferocious that Jiang Lai was still bitten.

When Xu Meiyin found out, she immediately wanted to take Jiang Lai to the hospital, but when Xiao Jiang was not taken, Jiang Lai was worried and did not agree to keep him at home, so Xu Meiyin sent him to Zi Luo's house to play with Zi Luo.

Jiang Lai will be vaccinated for a month. During this period, he can't drink alcohol or eat spicy food.Jiang Dezhi felt distressed for a long time, looked at Xiao Jiang Yu at the side, and said to Jiang Lai, "Be careful next time."

Xiao Jiangyu couldn't speak, he could only call his brother, and he put his little hand on Jiang Lai's arm, which was where he got the injection during the day.

Jiang Lai picked him up, still smiling softly, so softly: "Brother is fine, as long as Xiao Yu is not injured!"

When Jiang Yu woke up, he could feel the sunlight reflected through the curtains.

He picked up the mobile phone that was placed aside and pressed it on. He wanted to check the time, but found a few messages from Zi Luo.

07:55 Luo: Xiaojiang Yu, get up and eat.

Attached is a photo of the breakfast.

08:20 Fall: ?are you still sleeping

09:01: Master, it's time to get up.

09:25 Luo: Pig, I’ll go over and lift your quilt right away

Jiang Yu bent his lips, stretched his waist, and lay on his side on the bed to answer Zi Luo's news.

Encounter: wake up

Yu: It’s good to sleep late

Yu: Is this your breakfast?

Yu: I dreamed about you

Luo: I made it, and I will make it for you to eat later.

Luo: What did I do in the dream?

Encounter: play with me

fall:?

Encounter: Almost bitten by a dog

Zi Luo did not return.

Yu: I dreamed about Jianglai

Zi Luo still didn't return.

Yu: He saved both of us, and was bitten by a dog

Yu: It was too real, as if it had really happened, only to wake up and realize that everything was a dream.

Zi Luo sat at the desk and looked at the phone without moving for a long time, his thoughts seemed to drift far away with Jiang Yu's words.He can remember not many things about Jiang Lai, but since he was a child, he knew that Jiang Lai loved Jiang Yu very much, almost spoiled him, and refused to let him suffer any grievances.

And Jiang Yu's dream did indeed happen.

He and Jiang Yu were playing with mud at the door, and a dog rushed over from afar. Xie Xiaoan learned that Jiang Lai was very sorry for being bitten by a dog in order to protect them, so he bought some fruits the next day and carried them over.

In Zi Luo's heart, Jiang Lai has always been a very gentle and mature big brother, with him loving Jiang Yu, the little Zi Luo is also very happy.

Jiang Yu didn't get a reply for a long time, and turned on the emoticon bombing mode, and Zi Luo came back to his senses.

Luo: Go get something to eat, come see me in the afternoon

Yu: Of course, welcome me with open arms

Yu: I still want to play the piano for me

Fall: Good Master

Jiang Dezhi had a rest today, Jiang Yu casually stuffed a few steamed buns into his mouth after washing up, drank a bottle of milk, and went back to bed.At noon, he smelled a smell of vegetables, and he didn't know who had burned the fish.

...it seems to be his own home.

Jiang Dezhi came over and knocked on his door: "Jiang Yu, I'm out for dinner. I cooked several dishes today."

Jiang Yu hesitated for a few seconds before answering, and went out to see three dishes and one soup on the dinner table.

Very rich.

Jiang Dezhi sat down and poured white wine into the cup, looked up and said to him, "There is rice in the pot, go and fill it."

Jiang Yu filled two bowls and handed one to Jiang Dezhi.Jiang Dezhi would only eat the staple food after drinking. After taking it, he put it aside, glanced at the rice in Jiang Yu's bowl, and said, "Why do you eat so little? Are you full?"

"Yes." Jiang Yu didn't look up.

Jiang Dezhi hesitated for a moment before asking, "How's the leg?"

Jiang Yu replied flatly, "It's much better."

There was news on the TV, Jiang Dezhi put a piece of fish in his bowl, Jiang Yu didn't look up, and finished the bowl of rice in a muffled voice.

When he was about to go back to his room, Jiang Dezhi smiled and said to him: "Today's meal is delicious, your dad can cook as a chef!"

Jiang Yu nodded: "Very good."

"Have some soup, it's very tasty." Jiang Dezhi finished his drink, and then picked up the bowl of rice, "I'll bring some rice to your mother later, and you clean up the toilet."

"Ah."

Jiang Yu got used to washing dishes and cleaned up the kitchen in a few minutes.After finishing these things, he went back to his room to pack up his homework and went straight to Zi Luo's house. Zi's house had just had dinner, and Xie Xiaoan was cleaning.

"Thank you, auntie."

"Oh, Xiao Yu is here." Xie Xiaoan looked up at him with wet hands, "Have you eaten, I heard your dad cooking."

The two families are separated by a wall, and the kitchen is in the yard, so it's not surprising to hear that.Jiang Yu smiled: "I've eaten."

Xie Xiaoan said: "Luoluo is in the room, go in."

Jiang Yu knocked on the door twice and walked in directly. Zi Luo was sitting at the desk sorting out the materials, and when he saw him, he hooked his hand.Jiang Yu threw the homework of locking the door on his desk, and he rushed over.

Zi Luo was almost thrown down by him, and he caught it firmly with both hands.

"It's so boring at home." Jiang Yu hugged him and didn't let go, muttering, "I'm quite full at noon, and my dad made the homemade dishes seriously, and it's still so delicious."

Zi Luo patted him on the back and said softly, "It's pretty good, it's nutritious to eat more."

"What kind of cake did you make this morning? It looks delicious."

"Egg pancakes are very simple." Zi Luo closed the curtains and said, "I'll make them for you tomorrow."

Jiang Yu closed his eyes: "Okay."

Zi Luo has the habit of taking a nap. When he looked down, Jiang Yu seemed a little sleepy with his eyes closed. He stood up and walked towards the bed with his arms half hugged: "After sleeping, get up and do the test papers. Take a rest and be refreshed."

In fact, Jiang Yu wasn't very sleepy, but Zi Luo's embrace was so comfortable, he didn't say anything, rubbed his nose and got on the bed, and lay down on the inside.

He lay down on his side, looked at the direction Zi Luo was facing towards him, and stared at him for a while with dark eyes.

Jiang Yu felt uncomfortable, so he stretched out his hand to touch, from the brow bone to the eyes, from the bridge of the nose to the mouth, from the ear to the chin, and then looked at each other and smiled: "You are so handsome."

Zi Luo grabbed his hand and said, "You're not bad either."

Jiang Yu laughed, moved his body, and slowly approached Zi Luo's direction.

"Luoluo." He called out.

Zi Luo hugged him tightly: "Yes."

But Jiang Yu stopped talking, and put his head next to him with his eyes closed, as if he was asleep.

But Zi Luo knew that he would not fall asleep so quickly, so he lowered his head and rubbed his forehead.

Jiang Yu closed his eyes and murmured like a dream: "...Actually, I know."

Zi Luo listened and didn't ask him what he knew, he didn't ask anything, and Jiang Yu didn't speak anymore.

When he ran away from home when he was a child, Jiang Yu knew that Zi Hou had come and ran out to look for him. He searched anxiously for a long time but couldn't find anything. Xie Xiaoan who came rushed home grabbed him.

But at that time, Jiang Yu didn't want to drag Zi Luo down so late, so he hid far away.

Now, the reason why he has gradually become used to suppressing his irritable temper is because Zi Luo has been by his side to accompany him, saying that it's okay, it's okay.

He is still young, seventeen or eighteen years old can't control his own life, in addition to studying and studying, in order to improve his grades and get into A University, he can't think of any other better choice .After so many years, he has long been numb to the atmosphere at home, and numbness is the most terrifying.

But Jiang Yu has always been fortunate to have Zi Luo. It is no exaggeration to say that Zi Luo is the person who understands him best and treats him best, from childhood to adulthood.

Maybe I will never meet someone who treats him so well in the future.

So he wasn't afraid anymore, he didn't hide anymore, he wanted to stay optimistic as much as possible, try to run forward, run forward with Zi Luo, don't avoid him anymore, don't leave anyone behind.

Although the power of a young man is limited, perhaps the courage of a young man can weave a world with a rainbow of meteors. These courage are accumulated enough to resist landslides and tsunamis. With Zi Luo, they will be indestructible.
