tattered

Jiang also raised his eyelids and glanced at the high awning, then lowered his eyes, moved his wrist slightly, and the pencil "rustled" and left light gray marks on the notebook, covering the densely packed math problems.Messy lines pieced together, it is almost impossible to see that it is a painting.

After sketching randomly for a while, he raised his eyes again, but this time there were two more people in his field of vision besides Jing.

The old residential area is divided into several square areas, each area is composed of three residential buildings and a row of bicycle garages with doors, and a "semi-enclosed" structure is created with white brick walls at both ends, leaving the middle The gap in the door is not a decent door.At this moment, a woman and a young man were dragging two large suitcases in from the west. The wheels rattled on the uneven brick floor, and the few fallen on the awning of the garage were startled. only sparrow.

Jiang also watched them walk past Unit [-] and Unit [-], and then slowly slowed down until they stood still in front of him.Only then did he react, rolled up the notebook and stuffed it together with the pencil into his trouser pocket, then jumped up from the steps in front of the unit, flashing to the side for people to pass through.

"Thank you." The woman in the black cheongsam smiled, exuding a faint fragrance, probably a soft wood tone.

The boy in the black sweater walked up the steps with a suitcase in one hand, and Jiang Ye walked over to help him carry one. He said "I'll come" in a low voice.

Jiang also looked subconsciously, and only then noticed that there was a good-looking person in front of him.The lines of the face are between soft and tough, which belong to the outline of a teenager, and the jawline is also very beautiful, suitable for leaving on the drawing paper with a sharp stroke.lips...

Before Jiang continued to observe, the boy had already turned around.He went up to put down the last suitcase, kicked them in with his toes lightly, and then walked back to the door of the unit, looking directly at the woman in the cheongsam, "Mom, the key."

While going up the stairs, the woman took out the key from the small white bag, and walked into the corridor on the first floor with a clang.

It turned out that they moved to the first floor.Jiang thought too.

"Little classmate, you should go home early, it's getting dark." The woman's voice seemed very transparent in the corridor.

Jiang also responded, but turned around and went back to the unit door to sit down again, spread the notebook on his lap, and began to stare at the math problems above.

This is what the boy in sweater saw when he came out.

He was not interested in looking at it, so he went straight to the trash can and put the trash in his hand, clapped his hands, and turned back to the unit building.He lowered his head and lit a cigarette, and his feet were not idle at this time, he kicked the stones on the ground one by one, and if he happened to kick it into the crack of the brick floor, he would patiently use his toes to push it away Come out to relieve boredom.

Jiang also felt that they should say hello, but the atmosphere at this time was a bit delicate.

They were entertaining themselves over there, and they didn't intend to start a conversation at all. The air was so quiet that stones hitting the ground were deafening.

"Hi." Jiang still decided to break the deadlock with a well-regulated greeting.He was a little nervous, and after licking his dry lips, he continued: "My name is Jiang Ye, the 'Ye' in the third row, how about you?"

After he finished speaking, he became annoyed again. He was obviously a high school student, so how could he be as careful as a child when he greeted him.

The man laughed, "Xie Lian."

"Which word?" Jiang also asked.

"'It's good if the water shines brightly and the sun shines'."

Jiang also said "ah", and Xie Lian didn't know what he was "ah".

The room between the two returned to the eerie calm before.

Xie Lian didn't feel any embarrassment, so he lowered his head and kicked stones on his own.Jiang also guessed that he liked to play football, but he dared not ask.It's too hard to talk today.It seems to be good to do their own things in this way.

The stone got stuck in the crevice again. Xie Lian fiddled with the side of his foot twice but failed to get it out. He kicked hard with his toe, and the stone flew out with a "swoosh", hit the garage door, was bounced back, and finally hit the Parked on the nearby battery car.

The battery car equipped with an anti-theft device began to scream desperately.

"Grass." Xie Lian cursed.The cigarette in his hand almost lost his grip, and with the shaking of his fingertips, the ash fell down finely.

Jiang also covered his ears and said, "It should stop ringing soon."

At this time, a window on the upper floor was suddenly pushed open with a "swish". Jiang also looked up and saw a woman sticking her head out of the window on the third floor. No need to guess, it must be his mother.

"Die!" Jin Yao shouted angrily, "Jiang Ye, what are you doing?"

Under the harsh siren, Jiang did not explain, but raised his voice and shouted back: "It's okay, Mom, I won't bark for a while."

"One moment" came quickly, as suddenly as the siren sounded, and as quickly as shutting up.

Jin Yao appeared from the entrance of the corridor wearing high heels, followed by a middle-aged man in a white shirt and tie.

Jin Yao wore a tight-fitting white suspender skirt, one shoulder strap slipped loosely, and a royal blue shawl was loosely wrapped around the outside, and her curly long hair was casually draped over one shoulder.A wonderful color combination of rich black and royal blue.No makeup was applied on her face, but she couldn't hide her delicate and charming foundation.

At this time, the beauty twisted Jiang Ye's ears with thin eyebrows, "Go, go home with your old lady!"

Seeing this, the man said to Jin Yao, "Contact me later", then patted Jiang Ye on the shoulder in embarrassment, tugged at the tie tied around his short neck, turned and left.

Looking at the man's back, Xie Lian's expression suddenly changed.

Over there, Jiang also patted his butt and prepared to go upstairs with Jin Yao. Before leaving, he raised his hand and greeted Xie Lian—fingers opened and then tightly clenched, as if grasping the air vaguely. "Xie Lian, I'm leaving first." He said.

This farewell didn't get a response, but it caught Jin Yao's attention.She followed Jiang Ye's line of sight suspiciously, only to find someone standing there, whose name she had never heard of.The stranger was hidden in the shadow of the building and couldn't see his face clearly. He could only see a little spark and white smoke.

"Who..." Jin Yao frowned and said to Jiang Ye: "You are not allowed to play with children who smoke, do you hear that? They are all nonsense." After speaking, she grabbed Jiang Ye's wrist and was about to go upstairs.

Jiang Ye's last hasty glance only saw Xie Lian exhale a puff of smoke, his expression could not be seen clearly in the smog.
