like the wrong way

The shoes behind the car moved, as if he was considering whether to come out.

"Don't hide, I saw you." Fang Xi said again.

After two seconds, the shoes retracted directly, and it seemed that they had made up their minds not to come out.

Fang Xi frowned, lifted his foot and walked to the back of the car, saying as he walked, "Are you annoying, I'll tell you that I saw you!"

When he went around to the other side, he didn't see anyone, but the sound of footsteps came from the place where he was standing just now, so Fang Xi walked a few steps quickly and went back.Unexpectedly, Ji Lingyang ran faster than him, and only saw one leg dodging past.

Fang Xi was about to be laughed out of anger, how old is he, and he ran downstairs to his house to play hide-and-seek?He simply put the can aside, vowing to catch Ji Lingyang.

The two chased one and hid the other, and started a chase and escape battle around the van.

After running seven or eight laps, Fang Xi didn't catch up. He was so angry that he shouted, "Ji Lingyang, you're crazy!"

"You are crazy!"

"You are not crazy, why are you running!"

"I didn't run!"

"If you don't run, stop!"

"I do not!"

"It's annoying you childish ghost!"

Fang Xi chased him enthusiastically, and he didn't realize that he was completely addicted to this kind of childish game that junior high school students were too lazy to play.

After running a few more laps, Fang Xi suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He ran a few steps and pretended to speed up, then suddenly turned around and stood still.

Sure enough, Ji Lingyang was seen rushing towards him every two seconds, and he looked back with a proud face while rushing.But when he turned his head and saw Fang Xi looking at him with a smile, Ji Lingyang was dumbfounded. He hadn't expected this trick at all.Hesitantly ran too much and couldn't stop the car. Seeing that they were about to collide, he grabbed the van's rearview mirror.The speed of the upper body dropped, and he couldn't stop under his feet. He raised his head and tilted his legs, and sat on the ground with a "plop".

"Pfft..." Fang Xi covered his mouth and forced his laughter back.Ji Lingyang is such a cute idiot, he is sure to turn his face when he smiles too happily.

Ji Lingyang got up and patted his butt, turned his head and left without even looking at Fang Xi.

Fang Xi hurried up to stop him: "Hey, it's already here, why don't you go up and sit down?"

Ji Lingyang opened his hand with a cold face: "I didn't come to look for you, why should I sit?"

"Then what are you doing hiding downstairs at my house?"

"Who is hiding, can't I exercise? Can't I take a walk here?"

Fang Xi: ...

"Okay, let's just pretend that you came here blindly." Fang Xi folded her arms to block Ji Lingyang, "Then let's talk about another thing, why are you avoiding me these days?"

Panic flashed across Ji Lingyang's face for a moment, and then he straightened his chest and said confidently: "There is something wrong with you, who avoided you, we don't know each other well, why should I avoid you?"

Fang Xi: "You!"

"You, you, get out of my way!" Ji Lingyang put his hands in his pockets, put on a tugging look, squinted his eyes and pretended to talk to himself, "The current good students are really inexplicable, and they insist on being like me. Kind of a bad student to get close to."

If it weren't for ten years older than you now, I would definitely open your mouth and pour all the canned cat food into it.Fang Xi took a deep breath, reminded himself not to argue with the children, and finally suppressed the anger.

"By the way, my family Ji...Fang Erbao has been around for more than two months now, and he is fat. You are its original owner. Do you want to come and have a look?" Fang Xi threw out his trump card.

Ji Lingyang was a die-hard cat fan in his previous life, and his doting on Ji Erbao was simply outrageous, and he would definitely agree to ask him to go see cats.

However, reality hit Fang Xi hard in the face.

There was obvious struggle in Ji Lingyang's eyes, and he couldn't help rubbing his fingers when he thought of the soft, fluffy and warm body he held in his hands before.But when he raised his head and saw Fang Xi, his eyes dimmed instantly.He "cut": "What two treasures and three treasures, I don't know. I'm leaving, don't get in the way." After he finished speaking, he bumped his steps and walked past Fang Xi like a punk.

Ji Lingyang, what happened?

Fang Xi watched him walk out of the gate of the community, picked up the bag of canned cat food, and walked upstairs full of doubts.

Pushing open the door, Fang Xi shouted habitually: "I'm back."

After he changed his slippers, no one responded, so Fang Xi walked into the room in a daze.

I saw Fang's mother lying on the bed, holding the cat teasing stick in one hand to tease the kitten with a belly, and waiting for an opportunity to touch its pink and tender belly with the other hand, muttering: "Oh, my little erbao, what are you doing?" So cute~"

Fang Xi rolled his eyes, walked a few steps closer and shouted, "Ms. Lin, your son is back, please take a look at him."

Fang's mother didn't even bother to turn her head, so she responded casually: "I've been watching this son for seventeen or eighteen years. What's there to see? At that time, our little Erbao looked better, right, Erbao, little boy."

Fang Xi: "...you are really my own mother."

"That's not true." Fang's mother hugged Erbao and kissed her hard, then turned to ask Fang Xi, "Did you buy the canned food? Erbao is already hungry."

"I bought it, mom." Fang Xi put the can on the TV cabinet, took out a can and handed it over, "I have all the cans for my kitten, if you didn't insist on feeding the weaning can, Erbao would be hungry Do you have to call out?"

Fang's mother climbed out of bed, raised her hand and gave Fang Xi a brainstorm: "You can keep this to yourself, who knows only milk for more than five months, how many pureed vegetables and fruits I have prepared, and insists on refusing to eat it. Give me a sip of milk and howl all night..."

Fang Xi blushed blushingly, and quickly stopped Mother Fang: "Mom, it's alright, I was wrong, you can open the can for Er Bao."

Fang's mother glanced at him triumphantly, walked out of the room, and shouted to the study: "His father, have you finished it? If you don't take pictures, I will feed Er Bao first."

"Here we come!" Fang's father rushed in with his camera in hand, and when he saw Fang Xi holding Er Bao, he immediately asked him to pose.

"Dad, what are you doing?" Fang Xi couldn't resist, so he could only hold up the second treasure and touch it.

Fang's father took pictures with great interest, while explaining: "Take pictures as souvenirs. Kittens are like children. They grow up in the blink of an eye. You have to hurry up and take pictures. After being fed by your mother into a piglet, at least I have a picture to think about."

Fang's mother grabbed Er Bao's toy and threw it over: "What are you talking about? I didn't feed your son? Didn't you eat the food I cooked? Why didn't you two become fat pigs? Do you think I fed too much? Okay, tonight's dinner Don't eat it."

"No, no, no, I'm joking."

Fang Xi left the two who were flirting and playing with cats, and went into the kitchen to prepare food for Erbao.

Wash Erbao's bowl and drain the water, open the milk cake from milk, dig a small piece into the bowl, then dig a small piece from the kitten can, then crush it with a spoon and mix it together, and finally Pour some hot water and set it up.

After finishing everything, Fang Xi turned around with the bowl in hand, and saw Mother Fang sticking out her head from the kitchen door.

Mother Fang praised with a smile on her face: "Look, look, our son is really careful, people who have children are really different."

Fang Xi didn't like her: "Didn't you say that Er Bao is your son and my younger brother? Why is he my child?"

"Almost." Fang's mother put Erbao down and asked her to find the cat bowl by herself, "To be honest, you're not as good to yourself as you are to Erbao."

"Since I have raised it, I will be responsible for it."

Er Bao ate in such a hurry that he almost buried his head in the bowl.Fang Xi was afraid that it would spit it out after eating too fast, so he had to grab his neck every few seconds and push the cat bowl, looking busier than Erbao.

Mother Fang stood by, watching her son's concentration, her heart softened.She patted Fang Xi on the back, and praised: "Obviously I was a stupid and awkward child before, but after a summer vacation, I am actually a lot more sensible."

For you, it is just a short summer vacation, but for me, ten years have passed.

Fang Xi smiled and said, "I'm going to be 18 soon, I'm already an adult, so of course I need to be more sensible."

Speaking of turning 18, Mother Fang slapped her thigh: "Yes, your birthday is next week! Son, this is a big birthday, how do you want to celebrate it?"

Fang Xi thought for a while, and said a little embarrassedly: "Can I invite my classmates back for dinner?"

"Then there's nothing wrong with it." Fang's mother greeted her husband, "His father, what do you think of our son's birthday treat to his classmates?"

Father Fang walked over with the camera in his arms, and while deleting the blurred photos, he asked, "Can you eat at home?"

"Yeah, how expensive it is to eat out."

"Oh, just a few people, how expensive it can be. Son, it just happened to be Sunday, and the three of us had a noodle meal at home at noon. In the evening, you can ask a few classmates to go out to eat, just the one at the intersection. Last time your mother celebrated her birthday, we Been there."

Fang's mother wanted to say something, but Fang's father stopped her: "You are the only one at home who knows how to cook. Are you not tired of cooking so many dishes? Go out to eat, order a few more dishes, and I will pay for the meal."

"Of course I pay for the treat." Fang Xi stood up, holding a cat bowl that was licked as if it had just been washed, "I have saved a lot of pocket money, enough for two meals."

Father Fang patted his son appreciatively: "The boy is not bad, okay, you can see which students you want to invite, I will book a private room tomorrow."

"it is good."

……

"Invite us to dinner?"

"Yes, it's my birthday this Sunday. I'm 18 years old. I'd like to treat everyone to dinner. It's at a restaurant near my home at 05:30 in the evening. Are you free?"

Curly smirked and scratched his head: "Hey, if you're free or free, even if you suddenly asked me to eat, I don't even know what gift to prepare."

"Gifts are not important, we are also friends who have fought together, as long as people come."

"That's okay, I'll definitely go!" Curly happily took the card with the hotel address on it, turned around and rolled his eyes, "Are you going?"

The four eyes are a little hesitant. His family has been very strict recently, and he is not allowed to go out on weekends.

He hesitated and said, "I want to go, but my mother won't let me."

Fang Xi met the four-eyed parents at the parent meeting at the end of last semester. They seemed to be particularly concerned about the grades of the four-eyed, so she simply suggested: "Then you go back and ask, just say that I also invited Yang Xiaoxuan and Xu Tian, ​​and the three of them studied together. The class representative is here, what else do they worry about?"

Thinking about it with four eyes, that's right, don't say that Brother Yang and Tong Li will also go.So he also agreed.

Fang Xi informed Yu Gaoming, Yang Xiaoxuan, and her tablemate Xu Tian, ​​and they all said they would bring gifts, and the hotel's business card was handed out to the last one.

The future owner of this business card disappeared after class, and Fang Xi didn't find a chance to hand it over all day.

It wasn't until school was over that Fang Xi found the right time, and while Ji Lingyang was holding his schoolbag, he rushed forward and stuffed the business card into his hand.

"At 05:30 on weekend nights, my 18th birthday is here for dinner, will you come?" Although it should be a question, Fang Xi has a tough face, as if Ji Lingyang dared to say "no", he immediately punched him Smash his nose into the brain.

Ji Lingyang was taken aback at first, and when he realized it, he wanted to throw the business card away, but Fang Xi held his hand so tightly that he almost nailed the business card to his palm with his fingertips.Ji Lingyang didn't dare to really shake him off, so he had to let go of his strength, holding his business card and answering indifferently: "I won't go."

"You must come." Fang Xi demanded forcefully.

After a few seconds, he let out a breath of compromise, and whispered in a pleading tone: "I will be very happy if you come."

After speaking, he let go of his hand, returned to his seat, picked up his schoolbag, and left the classroom with his head down.

After everyone left the classroom, Ji Lingyang finally moved. He spread his hand, revealing the crumpled business card.

In the next few days, Ji Lingyang still ignored Fang Xi, and when Curly Hair and Four Eyes talked about the birthday party, he also turned away and pretended not to hear.Curly was so dull that he didn't realize that his brother Yang was hiding from Fang Xi all the time, always chasing Ji Lingyang and asking him what presents he had prepared.The four eyes are quite understandable, and at the risk of being bullied by the curly hair, he took the initiative to change the subject several times. After all, Ji Lingyang is the boss. In terms of fear...he has higher prestige.

The days of high school seniors always go by very fast, and it is Saturday in the blink of an eye. When the school bell rang, everyone's confused mind instantly woke up, and they all picked up their schoolbags and rushed home. free time.

Ji Lingyang declined Curly's suggestion of "go to the Internet cafe and have fun together", and walked home alone.Because he hadn’t decided whether to go or not, he didn’t mention Fang Xi’s birthday to his mother. Ji’s mother thought that he would have a rest tomorrow, so she mentioned that she had something to go out tomorrow, and she wouldn’t eat at home at noon, but she would prepare it in advance. lunch.Ji Lingyang listened absent-mindedly, still thinking about whether to go or not.

After dinner, Ji Lingyang hid in his room, took out his homework and wrote for a while, feeling a little messed up.He dropped his pen and looked towards the second shelf of the bookshelf.There was a book with the cover facing out, and behind the book was a gift box that was the size of a palm.

Ji Lingyang opened the box and took out a ceramic piggy bank made of cats.I bought this at a boutique near the school. Ji Lingyang felt that the color of this cat was very similar to Fang Erbao at first glance, and its smiling appearance was also similar to Fang Xi.They all look like gentlemen on the surface, but they don't know what bad ideas are behind their backs.

Because he kept staring at it, the clerk thought he wanted to buy it, so he took a package and asked him if he wanted to buy it.I don't know what kind of evil was caught at that time, but Ji Lingyang did not refuse by accident.He was very annoyed when he got home, hadn't he already decided to distance himself from those good students?Don't go to the birthday party, buy some gifts blindly.

However, if you buy everything, it’s not easy to return it, right?

Thinking of this, Ji Lingyang put the gift on the bookshelf, and in order not to shake his will, he even blocked it with a book.

Although it is useless, this gift is like a time bomb, as if entering the room, you can hear it making a countdown-like "tick" sound.

Ji Lingyang grabbed the gift box and wanted to throw it into the trash can, but he couldn't throw it out with his hands raised high. He was about to put it back on the bookshelf when he suddenly heard the sound of the door opening from outside.

Father Ji is back.

"People, why is there no one at home~" Father Ji's voice sounded a little vague, as if he had drunk a lot of alcohol.

During this period of time, Father Ji's work was not going well, because the salary was paid according to the guaranteed bonus plus commission, and the money he got recently was also less.I don't know if it's to attract customers or to get drunk alone, but Ji's father came home drunk more often.

"Liyu! Where are my slippers? Quickly bring my slippers!" Father Ji yelled in the living room.

"Come here, here are the shoes, put them on quickly." Ji's mother's voice was a little flustered, "Ji Gang, are you okay? Do you want some water?"

"Don't drink! Come here, let me tell you good news~"

Ji Lingyang maintained the posture of holding up the gift, and pricked up his ears to listen to the voices outside.

"What good news?"

"Let me tell you, I will rest tomorrow! Rest! I decided to take you to Ocean Park! How is it, Gao~ unhappy?"

"Well, I'm happy. However, I have something to do tomorrow. How about we go in the afternoon?"

"Something, what can you do?"

"I have a little sister who works in a supermarket. She said they need a cleaner over there. I want to try..."

"Cleaning? Why do you want to be a cleaning? Is the household I don't give enough?!" Ji's father suddenly raised his voice.

Ji's mother hurriedly explained: "No, it's enough, but I think it's better to have more money. Xiao Yang is going to college soon, so there must be a lot of places to spend money. I don't do anything else at home except cooking and cleaning. It’s better to take a part-time job to subsidize the family.”

"Don't go! I'm not poor enough to let my wife sweep the floor!"

"Ji Gang, listen to me..."

"What do you say, I won't let you go!"

"Snapped!"

There was a crisp sound in the living room.

Ji Lingyang didn't have time to put down the box, opened the door and rushed out.

In the living room, Mother Ji was covering half of her face with one hand, and blocked the swinging arm with the other, while the owner of the arm was scolding his wife fiercely.

"I told you not to go, can't you hear? Do you think that if I earn less money, I can't be the head of this family! Let me tell you, as long as I give you the money for eating, you are not allowed to go out and show your face Throw me away!"

"Enough!" Ji Lingyang rushed forward and pushed Father Ji away, "Don't beat my mother!"

Ji's father was pushed and staggered against the wall, and he calmed down. He leaned against the wall and looked at his son with mocking eyes: "Your mother? Your mother is also my wife. What's wrong with me beating my wife? Why can't you beat my own wife! You are a son, you eat mine, drink mine and use mine. I raised you so big! I worked hard to earn money to support you two, yet you dare to push me! You Do you still think I am your father?!"

"You are domestic violence! Domestic violence is against the law!" Ji Lingyang firmly protected his mother, no matter how much Ji's mother begged him not to conflict with Ji's father behind him, he would never give in.

Father Ji smiled contemptuously: "Breaking the law? Then you call the police! Do you think the police will catch me? If beating a wife and children is also breaking the law, then there is nothing in this world that is not breaking the law! Let me tell you! If you are my son, Just based on your attitude, I will kick you out immediately! Still going to college? Just go to a bullshit college with your grades, and if I don’t pay you, go to the street to beg for food!"

Before he finished speaking, Father Ji raised his foot and kicked over.

Ji Lingyang wanted to protect his mother and couldn't dodge, so he had to raise his hand to block it.

Father Ji's foot just happened to kick his hand holding the gift box, and the box was kicked and hit the wall, and with a "clang", the contents inside were smashed to pieces.

"What is this thing? Whatever it is, I bought it with my money anyway. Use my money to pay me back, you little bastard." The smell of alcohol rose again, and Father Ji walked past Ji Lingyang with a flushed face. Beside her, Mother Ji, ignoring the tear-stained face, staggered into the room, fell down on the bed with a "plop", and fell asleep.

"Xiao Yang! Xiao Yang!" Mother Ji shook her son's arm before she had time to wipe away her tears.

Ji Lingyang didn't respond, he looked at the gift box in the corner, and felt that something was shattered the moment the box hit the wall.
