The matter of going to City A was delayed until two days before the rematch. On this day, Jiang Yu bought a meal and packed it to go to Yongyue Mall. When he arrived at the store, he found that there were quite a lot of customers. Xu Meiyin was busy at the cashier, and Jiang Yu was standing at the door. Waited for a while and didn't rush in.

This time is probably the peak period. He can wait but the food in his hand can’t wait. Jiang Yu walked in after seeing a few customers coming out. The clerk recognized him and said hello, “Sister Xu, your handsome son is here.” La!"

Xu Meiyin looked up and saw him, a little surprised: "Did you come by yourself? Xiaoling has already gone home?"

"Well, I sent him back." Jiang Yu handed over the food in his hand, "Let's have some food."

"Okay, I'm just hungry." Xu Meiyin was relieved, put down the list in her hand and walked to the rest room inside, "Is your father not at home?"

Jiang Yu replied, "Not here."

"This man has been running away from home every day recently, either drinking or drinking." Xu Meiyin frowned when she talked about Jiang Dezhi, and she also knew that it was useless to say it, so she stopped after saying a few words.

Jiang Yu's purpose was to put her in a good mood, so the topic naturally wouldn't lead to Jiang Dezhi.He thought for a while and asked, "Is it delicious?"

Xu Meiyin said, "Very good, how much is it?"

Jiang Yu didn't tell the truth, but said vaguely: "A few dollars, it's very cheap."

Xu Meiyin nodded: "That's pretty cheap."

Jiang Yu observed Xu Meiyin's expression. As long as Jiang Dezhi was not mentioned, her expression would be peaceful, but she couldn't tell whether she was in a good mood or a bad mood.

He pondered for a while: "Mom, Luoluo is going to participate in the competition at the end of the month."

Xu Meiyin asked: "What competition? Piano?"

"Ah."

Xu Meiyin didn't have much appetite, so she ate some and stopped eating, and said, "Oh, this kid plays the piano very well, hasn't he won many awards before, it's amazing."

Jiang Yu agreed, and said, "Yes. Aunt Xie was with him before, this time he wants to go to City A alone, I think..."

He didn't finish his sentence, because Xu Meiyin's eyes had already looked over, and he could see clearly in his eyes.

Xu Meiyin's mind is very sensitive. She immediately sensed the meaning of Jiang Yu's words, and her eyes changed from plain to slightly severe scrutiny: "What does it have to do with you?"

Jiang Yu lowered his head: "I went to his competitions before, and I want to go this time too."

"What does your participation in the competition have anything to do with you?" Xu Meiyin questioned again, "Just because you went before, you have to go this time too? The two brothers are not like this."

Jiang Yu didn't speak, he had already expected Xu Meiyin's reaction.

Xu Meiyin asked again: "Which competition? Local?"

"No." Jiang Yu said, "City A."

Xu Meiyin frowned directly, looked at him and said decisively: "Don't even think about it."

Jiang Yu's heart sank suddenly.

"It's so far away, you are still a child, what should you do if something happens?"

"What could happen? I'm with Luoluo..."

Xu Meiyin interrupted him aloud: "Didn't you read the news? There are many people who have died, and everyone feels that it is not their turn. There are too many accidents now, and it will be too late when something happens. You just give I'll stay at home honestly, who said that I won't run around after returning from Yungang?"

"..." Jiang Yu couldn't speak, and wanted to fight again, physically and mentally weak, "For the last time, I really didn't run around after participating in the competition. And Brother Ci is also in City A, so we can just find him if we need anything. "

"That kid just came back yesterday." Xu Meiyin waved her hand irritably, "Even if he's there, don't mention it to me anymore. It's not you who participated in the competition. A child is running around. I don't know why you are so playful."

Jiang Yu was kicked out of the shop by Xu Meiyin.

He went back to Baihua Street and didn't enter the alley. He found a shaded place to sit down and stared at the people passing by in a daze. .

After walking for a few minutes, a voice came from ahead: "Handsome guy, don't lower your head while walking, it's not safe."

Jiang Yu looked up and saw Shuci and You Yezhi standing in front of him.

"Brother Ci." Jiang Yu said, "I heard from my mother that you just came back yesterday?"

"Yeah." Shuci saw that he was depressed, "Are you unhappy? Are you having trouble with Luoluo?"

Jiang Yu said, "No."

"Then what's the matter? Someone bullied you and told my brother that I will make the decision for you."

Jiang Yu hesitated for a while and told him, and the book changed his words: "Then I can't make the decision, your parents don't have a good impression of me."

Seeing that he didn't speak, Shu Ci put his arms around his shoulders: "What kind of hotel are you two staying in? Stay at my house directly. There is still a room in my house vacant. It costs more to stay in a hotel."

Jiang Yu opened his mouth: "Not very good."

Shuci raised his hand and rubbed the back of his head: "Am I your brother?"

"Yes."

"Then it's okay, you can't see me like this."

Jiang Yu looked at You Yezhi, who smiled slightly at him.He slowed down and hesitated: "But you just came back yesterday."

Shuci said: "So what?"

Jiang Yu didn't speak.

"Do you know how much a hotel costs for one night, let alone staying for half a month? You two are still young. If you have that money, you might as well save it."

Jiang Yu's own problem was not resolved, and he was dejected and unable to arouse his interest.Shuci patted him on the shoulder, "That's it. Go play ball and ask Zi Luo to come out together."

"Don't call him anymore, he still has to practice the piano, and he will leave the day after tomorrow."

Shuci said: "So fast?"

After he finished speaking, he and You Yezhi looked at each other. You Yezhi probably understood what he meant and just nodded.

Shuci turned to look at Jiang Yu: "Then we will stay with you the day after tomorrow and take you to my house."

Jiang Yu kept listless: "My mother won't let me go."

Shuci: "If she doesn't let you go, you won't go? You just buy a ticket and leave, and you have to control her—"

You Yezhi directly patted him on the head and interrupted him: "Say nonsense."

Jiang Yu was slightly taken aback after hearing this, thought for a while and didn't say any more, and went to play ball for a while.When he returned in the evening, he went directly to Zi Luo's house, and Xie Xiaoan was telling Zi Luo what to pay attention to.

"Where have you been?" Zi Luo asked.

Jiang Yu was blowing on the air conditioner in the room: "I'm playing basketball with Brother Ci and Brother You."

Zi Luo turned his eyes to look at him, that look meant to question.Jiang Yu took advantage of Xie Xiaoan to go out and said, "I didn't call you because I thought you were going to compete."

"Have you told your aunt?"

"I said it." Jiang Yu didn't tell him the result, but just said, "I'll transfer the money to you, you buy the ticket and buy mine together."

Zi Luo was a little surprised: "Auntie agrees?"

Jiang Yu didn't answer him, but just smiled and said, "Brother Ci will go back with us when the time comes, and he will let us live in his house."

In the following time, Jiang Yu didn't mention this matter to Xu Meiyin again, and Xu Meiyin ignored it when he was honest.The ticket time was at four o'clock in the morning, and Jiang Yu deliberately let Zi lose the election at this time.

There was nothing wrong with the two of them, but Shu Ci, who liked to sleep late, scolded Luo Jiang Yu directly.Getting up was hard to coax, You Yezhi just glanced over at Shuci and it became quiet.

At this moment, the four of them had already eaten their breakfast and boarded the car. It was still dark outside, and there were not many people on the car for the high-speed rail tickets they bought.

Looking at the street lights outside the window, Jiang Yu stretched comfortably, not thinking about the consequences of Xu Meiyin knowing that he ran away.

The two of them rested their heads next to each other for a while, and the four hours passed very quickly. It was bright outside, and the voice of the announcer sounded, reminding them to bring their valuables.Zi Luo turned his head to look at the "valuables" next to him, and gently pinched his face: "Get out of the car."

Jiang Yu was in a daze and followed Zi Luo.

"Brother Ci," Jiang Yu stood downstairs and looked up, "Your house is too close to the station."

"Yes, how convenient." Shu Ci took the bag from his hand and went upstairs, "Come up quickly."

After entering the house, Shuci went to the bedroom to catch up on sleep. You Yezhi opened the door of the other room, and said to the two people behind him: "There are milk and fruit in the refrigerator, and snacks on the table. I will tidy up the bed. It will be fine soon."

Zi Luo stood with him: "I'll help you."

Jiang Yu looked around the whole room with a curious heart. When he opened the refrigerator, he saw a "coconut" full of it. He had nothing to eat. When he returned to the room, the bed had already been made.

"Thank you, Brother You." Jiang Yu said, "I trouble you to get up so early and bring us back."

When You Yezhi smiled, the sense of alienation faded a bit: "You don't need to be so polite, if you are sleepy, go to sleep."

Jiang Yu nodded.

It was already noon when he woke up again, and he was alone in the whole bed. Jiang Yu took a look at the phone, but there was no news from Xu Meiyin or missed calls.

He knew that Xu Meiyin hadn't found out that he was no longer in City S. The reason why he bought the ticket for [-]:[-] am was because Jiang Yu knew that Xu Meiyin would get up at [-]:[-] or [-]:[-], and go to the store after [-]:[-] or [-]:[-].And he likes to sleep late, so Xu Meiyin will not knock on his door during this period.If she didn't come home at noon, she would only find him who hadn't come home at night.

Jiang Yu held his heart in the air, thinking of the moment Xu Meiyin got angry when he found out, he felt anxious.

The sound insulation here is not bad. Jiang Yu lay there for a few minutes and heard the conversation coming from outside. It was very soft and belonged to Zi Luo and You Yezhi.

He just got up, and when he went out, he saw two people standing in the kitchen, one was cutting vegetables and the other was washing them, they were a perfect match.

Zi Luo looked back and saw him: "Are you awake? Go wash up and eat later."

"What are you doing?" Jiang Yu was very curious when he saw that both of them were wearing aprons.

Zi Luo said: "Brother You is very good at cooking, I am learning from him, and I will cook for you in the future."

You Yezhi smiled softly at the side, and Jiang Yu rubbed his nose to brush his teeth and wash his face.

Shuci drank the warm milk that You Yezhi specially gave him, and said, "I'll take you two out to play after Luoluo's rematch is over. There are quite a lot of interesting places here."

Jiang Yu nodded while chewing the braised pork, and couldn't help but said, "It's so delicious, Brother Ci, you are so lucky."

"You are also blessed, sitting next to you."

Jiang Yu turned to look at Zi Luo, and couldn't hold back his joy.Shuci picked up vegetables for You Yezhi, and said, "I'm not surprised that you two can be together."

"Ah." Jiang Yu said, "You wouldn't have seen it long ago."

Shuci nodded: "Almost, you two are too tired of crookedness, I'm afraid you are the only ones who can't feel it."

July was the time when the sun was scorching. After dinner, several people nestled on the sofa and watched TV. After seeing the high temperature of 38 degrees, no one asked to go out to play. If they couldn’t watch the TV, they went back to their houses. The news from Meiyin came suddenly, and she was restless all day.

Zi Luo sensed his absent-mindedness early on, and asked him, "Is there something you are hiding from me?"

"No." Jiang Yu replied very quickly, "Nothing."

Zi Luo squinted at him, a little threatening.

Jiang Yu couldn't stand being watched, took out his homework and put it on the table, and began to change the subject: "I don't know a few questions, come and tell me."

Zi Luo hugged him from behind, and asked softly, "Really?"

"No!"

"let me guess--"

"Don't guess, don't guess." Jiang Yu turned around and hugged him, "I'm just... ah, it's really nothing."

Zi Luo looked at him silently, and he couldn't guess anything, because he really couldn't imagine that Jiang Yu would hide anything from him.

Jiang Yu pulled him to sit down: "Do your homework."

Zi Luo didn't know what he was hiding from him until Xu Meiyin called at night and Jiang Yu looked at the screen and didn't answer.

"Xiao Jiang Yu, didn't you tell Auntie that you came out on your own?" Zi Luo pinched the tip of his nose, "You are so courageous now."

Jiang Yu threw the phone far away: "I said she disagreed, so I'll make the decision myself."

"Aren't you afraid that your aunt will be angry?"

"I'll send her a message later." Jiang Yu paused and said, "Anyway, I'm all in City A, what can she do?"

The ringtone finally stopped during the conversation, followed by the uninterrupted WeChat notification tone.

Jiang Yu kept covering his ears as if he had heard the reminder for his death. Zi Luo reached out and took the phone over to look at it. The more he looked at it, the more worried he became. He reached out and took Jiang Yu's hand off: "...Auntie is very angry."

Jiang Yu: "...I know."

Zi Luo said: "Come back quickly, say something nice."

Xu Meiyin did not receive a reply to the first few messages and directly changed them to voice messages, each of which lasted for more than 30 seconds. Jiang Yu didn't want to click on it, but saw a new message of three seconds, so he directly clicked on play.

"You are really shameless, your father knows that I don't care if you are killed, come back to me quickly!!!"

Roaring very angrily, Jiang Yu sighed leisurely.

Why go back, go back and fight.

He typed: Go back after the finals, we'll be fine.

Xu Meiyin became even more angry, and called again, but Jiang Yu hung up immediately.

Zi Luo watched helplessly from the side, reached out to pinch his face: "You."

"I don't want to miss every game of yours." Jiang Yu shook his hand, "I'll talk about what will happen when I go back. It's just scolding and beating, I'm used to it."

Zi Luo looked at him: "I don't want you to bear this."

"It's okay." Jiang Yu took out the bear doll and put it on the bedside to pat it a few times. "After I go to college, I will be free. There is still one year left, and it will pass quickly."

Zi Luo patted him on the back: "Don't do this next time, you have to discuss it with me in advance."

Jiang Yuying: "Okay."

After speaking, he raised his head and asked, "Morning and afternoon of tomorrow's game?"

Zi Luo answered him: "11:30 noon."

"Oh, then you can still sleep in." Jiang Yu nestled comfortably in his arms, "Brother Ci, have they slept?"

It was very quiet outside, Zi Luo said, "I don't know."

Jiang Yu nodded, with the quilt between his legs: "It's too embarrassing for the two of them to leave with us at four o'clock when they live in other people's houses."

Zi Luo listened, and Jiang Yu said again: "I decided to clean up for him in the next ten days to make up for it."

"Forget it, Brother Ci also knows that you are lazy." Zi Luo ruthlessly laughed at him.

Jiang Yu raised his head and gave him a harmless look, then looked away at the easel in the corner, and silently turned his gaze back to Zi Luo's face.

Zi Luo has been looking at him with a smile in his eyes, gentle and affectionate.

The two looked at each other with big eyes in the silent night. Sometimes they felt that they talked too much, and sometimes they felt that it was good not to talk.

Jiang Yu's eyes fell on his ruddy lips, and he leaned closer and kissed him lightly.

She was very gentle at first, but I don't remember who made the fuss first.Playing around like a child, you hit me, you kicked each other, the thin quilt fell on the edge of the bed, Jiang Yu twisted his body and finally escaped Zi Luo's claws: "Look at my scissors killing my feet!"

Zi Luo corrected him: "It's deadly scissors, idiot."

Shuci came out to drink water and heard this movement, he couldn't help talking to You Yezhi when he went back to the house, he shook his head after speaking, and said with a smile: "It's as noisy as when I was a child."

You Yezhi stretched out his hand, beckoning him to go back to the bed.

A night light was left in the room, Shuci climbed into bed and held him in his arms, sleeping soundly all night.
