Xie Xiunan doesn't like going to school.

Since the first grade of elementary school, going to school has become the most painful thing for him after waking up every day.

He skipped a lot of lessons, overtly and secretly, using everything.After skipping class, Xie Xiunan went to the dark internet cafe in a residential building, to the dimly lit game hall, and even took a shortcut over the wall to visit the zoo.Anyway, as long as it wasn't studying, Xie Xiunan would do it with gusto.

The result, of course, was a mess.

Poor his grandpa, who is all-powerful in the university classroom on weekdays, but still can't manage his hapless grandson who is in elementary school.

The old professor was heartbroken, and went to pick Xie Xiunan up from the bed at 06:30 every morning, and supervised him brushing his teeth, washing his face and changing his clothes. Xie Xiunan was pushed out the door before he even opened his eyes.

"Grandpa, let me sleep for a while, I'm so sleepy." Xie Xiunan was a very serious "extremely poor student" when he was a child, not pretending, but really not getting enough sleep.

His grandfather ignored him and said with a stern face: "No! I put the breakfast money in your bag for you and ran away... just in time for exercise, and you can still have breakfast when you arrive."

Xie Xiunan was sullen, but didn't dare to talk back, so he deliberately said, "Okay, Professor Xie."

Professor Xie is stern and selfless, but Xie Xiunan is not his own son after all, and Xie Xiaoyu is always separated from him when he disciplines him.

Hey, I just hope that Xie Xiaoyu will come back soon, and stop doing research day and night, not seeing her son a few times throughout the year, and the child will become estranged from her.Thinking of this, Professor Xie felt a little frustrated.

After a long time, Xie Xiunan could still remember the scene of Xiao Shengchu's exam.

It was a rainy day in June.

He sat on the inside of the classroom by the window, and there was a faint moisture in the air.He scratched his head and wrote the test paper.There were really too many test papers and too long, Xie Xiunan was a little scared when he thought of those black and white words.So he stopped and looked at those yellowed desks, not knowing who had engraved the words and phrases. In the end, Xie Xiunan drew three lions, two hippopotamuses, and a bowed neck in the blank space on the back of the math test paper. giraffe.

Anyway, when the bell rang for the end of the exam, he would have graduated from elementary school!

Xie Xiunan would not admit it even if he was beaten to death. He was able to successfully graduate from primary school because China implements a nine-year compulsory education!

He put his schoolbag on his back and rushed home all the way. The day ended early, and grandpa should have not come back yet. Xie Xiunan had hidden the snacks a few days in advance, and the cartoons on the children's channel should still be able to catch up.

He ran and laughed all the way, as happy as if he was about to fly.

Who would have thought that when he returned home, he saw a woman in a dark blue cheongsam sitting in the yard.

Professor Xie was there too, and seemed to be in a good mood.

The woman turned her head, and Xie Xiunan stopped at the gate of the courtyard.

He was a little stunned, and felt that this beautiful woman looked familiar, so he opened his mouth and asked, "Grandpa, who is this?"

Xie Xiaoyu's smile froze on his face, stepping on high heels, he walked slowly towards Xie Xiunan, grabbing Xie Xiunan's ear.

"Ouch! It hurts -"? "Little brat, I'm your mother!"

later……

Later, he followed Xie Xiaoyu to Seattle.As for what happened after that, Xie Xiunan felt a little vague. He still liked Suzhou the most and listened to Wu Nong's soft words from Jiangnan.

Until this moment—

At night in Qingdao, he followed a man named Yan Huan to pick up gravel on the beach in the dark.

"Brother, why can't I see anything." Xie Xiunan said with a bitter face.

"Tsk, are you blind?" Yan Huan laughed, and the voice came from a little further away.

In fact, it's not completely invisible, there are always lights shining from everywhere, but Xie Xiunan is always afraid, worried that there is something terrible in the darkness.He watched Ultraman when he was a child, and there was an episode where monsters invaded the aquarium, and suddenly there was light in the depths of those long tunnels, and the light became bigger and bigger and more dazzling, it turned out to be the eyes of monsters!

But he didn't want to admit cowardice in front of Yan Huan, so he followed Yan Huan step by step and randomly picked up two on the beach.

You need to use a flatter stone for floating, but Xie Xiunan can't care less about it.

After a while, Yan Huan came back.

He grabbed a handful of stones in his hand and said, "Look."

"Yeah." Xie Xiunan said, "And then?"

"Throw it, idiot." Yan Huan turned around and threw the stone into the sea forcefully.

Xie Xiunan waited for a while, and found that he could neither see nor hear anything.

He threw one himself, and still no response.Xie Xiunan thought, now is really not the time to play this, I don't know why Yan Huan came here.

Yan Huan followed the rules at the beginning, but later on he just flirted.Xie Xiunan's stones were long gone, and he was too lazy to pick them up.When Yan Huan threw stones into the sea, Xie Xiunan secretly looked at him.He thought Yan Huan was a little...cute when he was wearing a woolen cap?

Xie Xiunan thought, did he lose his mind and go crazy?

Bad bad bad.

Yan Huan went on high for a while, and when he was tired, he found a fairly clean stone and sat on it in a daze.

Xie Xiunan thinks this is amazing about him, why is he often in a daze?For a moment, Xie Xiunan wanted to know what Yan Huan was thinking.Xie Xiunan walked up to Yan Huan and swayed in front of his eyes, but Yan Huan didn't see him.

"Brother." Xie Xiunan raised his face slightly, "What are you thinking?"

Yan Huan came back to his senses after a while, looked at him, and said, "It's nothing."

Xie Xiunan didn't believe it.

He stepped on the stone and sat next to Yan Huan, and when he got close to him, he realized that there was something in Yan Huan's eyes that he couldn't describe. Xie Xiunan was stunned, and hesitantly said: "You...brother, I've been meaning to ask you..."

"What do you want to ask?" Yan Huan said.

Xie Xiunan didn't think about it, and blurted out: "I think, I want to know about your past."

After he finished speaking, he became tense and almost bit his tongue.

Sure enough, Yan Huan frowned and said, "Who are you? Why should I tell you?"

Xie Xiunan immediately said, "I was the one who was abrupt."

He knew that Yan Huan was like a cat, he had to be stroked along its fur.

Yan Huan turned his head and stared at him, Xie Xiunan said, "Why, what's wrong?"

Yan Huan's face was hidden in the darkness, Xie Xiunan could only see a nice outline, he heard Yan Huan say: "Hello, Xie Xiunan."

"Ok?"

"Are you a little...strange?" Yan Huan obviously thought about his words.

Xie Xiunan's heart couldn't stop beating, and he asked, "What's so strange?"

Yan Huan was silent for a while, just shook his head, and said softly, "It's nothing."

Xie Xiunan also felt strange.

Next, Xie Xiunan's memory was a little fuzzy, because Yan Huan said that it was a rare opportunity to experience what it means to be drunk.He and Yan Huan went to buy some barbecue again. After eating the barbecue, both of them had the taste of cumin in their mouths.Yan Huan said, let's go to the bar to play again, this time we don't want to mess around, just play.

Xie Xiunan said, "Okay."

He and Yan Huan walked side by side on the street, and then went to drink, like two desperadoes with no tomorrow.

Desperado, Xie Xiunan thought, he likes this metaphor.

Yan Huan can go crazy if he wants to, anyway, he is by his side, and he can take care of him if something happens.

Facts have proved that Xie Xiunan thought too much.

Instead, he was the first to get drunk.

Under the light, he looked at Yan Huan's side face, and he vaguely grasped something in his heart.

He seemed to understand, just outside, when Yan Huan was sitting there in a daze, he found something in his eyes.

Xie Xiunan felt dizzy for a while.

Yan Huan said he was stupid, but he was not stupid.

He just...

Just not trying to put on a show in front of him, and maybe a little clumsily trying to amuse him.

Because when Yan Huan said nothing, Xie Xiunan always felt that he was sad.

He didn't want to make him sad.
