springtime

The distance from Daizhou to Weidu is more than 200 kilometers, and it takes six hours to take the high-speed rail.Cen Ran went there to participate in the Olympic competition in junior high school. He didn't have a mobile phone, so he fell asleep in the car looking at the scenery outside the window, and woke up in Weidu.

He lied to Luo Shixu today.

He still remembers making egg tarts very clearly. Cen Ran fell into a dream, and the dream was like a flashback of memory, bringing him back to the scene at that time.

·

At that time, Luo Shixu followed the basketball team to other schools to play games, and Cen Ran went home alone, depressed. On the way, an electrical appliance store selling steamers and ovens was holding an event, organizing passers-by to make egg tarts.Cen Ran was pulled into the store by the big sister standing at the door, and made two out of curiosity.

When it comes to sugar distribution ratio, Cen Ran likes to eat sweet, every time he eats egg tarts he thinks it is not sweet enough, so he puts a few more spoonfuls of sugar in it.The raw materials were well prepared, and the baked ones were extra crispy and delicious. Cen Ran made two, and he ate one slowly, licking his mouth unsatisfied, and then packed the other in a plastic bag. At night, he heard Luo The sound of Shi Shu coming home, ran out to feed him.

As the first year of junior high school was coming to an end, the relationship between the two began to change. Cen Ran was vigilant because of the constant addition of new friends. He felt that the two of them should be each other's best friends, but there were so many people around Luo Shixu, His weight was divided one by one.

He was not very good at talking, so he couldn't put his arms around Luo Shishu and tell jokes like others, and then he grinned loudly. He thought that if this continued, Luo Shishu would leave him sooner or later, he was too boring.

He was so worried that he couldn't open his brows. He knew that he was too sensitive and they should all have new connections, but it was hard to get rid of the heavy dependence on Luo Shixu for a long time. Luo Shixu was the only person in his world It doesn't matter, if Luo Shixu is the only friend, he won't make Luo Shixu feel lonely.

What also made him feel that the two were drifting away was that something seemed to have happened to Luo Shixu's family.Ever since Luo's father came home from Luo Shixu Junior High School, something was wrong with Luo Shixu's family.

Cen Ran knows that Luo's father has been doing real estate development outside all year round. In the past few years, he has established his own company and bought many sneakers for Luo Shixu that cannot be bought here, as well as various limited-edition clothes, and gave him an oversized Transformer , It took the two of them a whole afternoon to assemble it.

It is a very happy thing for the mother and son to depend on each other and become a family of three. Luo's father finally went home and settled down after being away for so long, but Luo Shixu didn't look happy.Happy was only happy for a while, and then he felt an indescribable indifference towards his father.

Cen Ran wanted to ask about other people's family affairs, but he couldn't ask. As soon as there was a sound of quarreling next door, he was dragged to the study by Cen's mother to do his homework.I had to wait for Luo Shixu to take the initiative to say it. The two of them are good friends who talk about everything. They should share joy and sorrow together, but Luo Shixu didn't mention it to him, not even once.

Luo Shixu's expression was a little gloomy at first, but he was caught off guard by stuffing a half-cold egg tart, and he was stunned for a moment.Cen Ran said: "You scare me a little, don't get angry, okay?"

Luo Shixu patted Cen Ran's head, and after a while, he said, "Oh, I haven't washed my hands after playing."

Cen Ran covered his head and wanted to hit Luo Shixu, but found that Luo Shixu's palm was clean, and said, "Don't change the subject, don't you think I'm your friend anymore?"

"Why do you think about this?" Luo Shixu asked lazily.

Cen Ran sat on the steps of the corridor with him, and he didn't think it was dirty. He said, "You kept things from me, and you still didn't accompany me home from school."

Luo Shixu said, "You don't understand."

"How do you know I don't understand if you don't tell me? I..." Cen Ran was anxious, arguing with Luo Shixu with his chin raised.They got a little closer, Cen Ran almost kissed Luo Shixu's cheek when he raised his head.

He forced himself to suppress his accelerated heartbeat, the organ that controlled his life and death was hitting his chest forcefully, Luo Shishu lowered his eyes, and he said, "Look at the sky."

As long as Luo Shixu turns his head now, he can see that Cen Ran's face is brighter than the sunset glow in the distance, and there is a faint pink on the roots of his ears.

But he didn't, Cen Ran said blankly, "It's red."

The setting sun is light red, and the surrounding sky is also smudged from red to pink. During the period, it is also mixed with warm orange, dotted with fire clouds, like the reflection of this world, the world in the reflection is lit everywhere, and everything else has been completed. Ashes, and empty shells burning.

Luo Shixi ate the egg tart very slowly, as if he regarded this as the last delicious bite. The egg tart that cooled off lost its crispness, but he regarded it as a delicacy in the world.He said, "It's black."

Even now, Cen Ran, who recalls the past in a dream, still feels pain in his heart when facing this situation again. The cheerful Luo Shixu from the past laughed at himself coldly: "Why do you need to understand?"

He wasn't mocking himself, but Cen Ran still felt uncomfortable after hearing it four years ago. He justified, "Because I... because..."

"Time sequence, what are you doing outside? Why don't you hurry up and review your textbooks?" Father Luo went upstairs with his briefcase in his arms to bump into them.

Cen Ran was a little afraid of Luo's father, so he stood up and said "Hello, Uncle", and Luo's father snorted softly.Luo Shixu was only in the first grade of junior high school, and he was taller than his peers, almost surpassing Luo's father.Cen Ran quietly gestured next to him, thinking that he was divided into several people in the queue separated by Luo Shixu, and Luo Shixu didn't want to change places with others, so he couldn't help feeling frustrated.

Luo Shixu walked home with his eyes downcast, but Xiao Cen Ran grabbed the hem of his clothes and said, "Damn it, I won't talk to you anymore."

Luo Shixu didn't coax him, and said distractedly: "Don't make trouble for yourself."

The 17-year-old Cen Ran gasped slightly following the 12-year-old Cen Ran. He already knew what was going on, but the little Cen Ran was still so angry that he held back tears from the corners of his eyes.

Sure enough, the follow-up of the dream completely overlapped with the reality. Luo Shixu didn't come to school the next day, and little Cen Ran knocked on Luo Shixu's door with his head down, but the building was empty.

"Baby, brother is gone, what door are you knocking on?" Mother Cen opened the door and asked him.

Little Cen Ran trembled his lips and asked, "Where did he go?"

Cen's mother said: "I don't know, it may be a far away place."

Little Cen Ran turned around and ran down the stairs, but Cen Ran took a deep breath, he felt his body fly into the air with Little Cen Ran in his dream, and then he woke up suddenly.

·

Cen Ran sat up, leaned against the head of the bed and breathed calmly, and wiped his face until his head was covered with cold sweat.

It is indeed a very far place, and Cen Ran, who is twelve years old, has no concept of "far away", only knows that he should walk a long way to meet again.

In a trance, he even doubted the authenticity of his reunion with Luo Shixu. He turned on his phone to confirm that he and Luo Shixu had added QQ friends, and then he was relieved.

At 45:[-] in the morning, it was time to get up. Cen Ran got up to wash up, and met Cen's mother. Cen's mother began to make breakfast, and said, "Baby, do you want to sleep for a while?"

"No, read more books." Cen Ran said.

Cen's mother asked Cen Ran to put on more coats, so as not to catch a cold, Cen Ran sat in the living room for a while, and Cen's father also came out of the bedroom, saying: "Don't ask your mother to make your bed for you to go to school today, you have to learn how to do things like this yourself." Do."

In the kitchen, Mother Cen said, "Even if we don't shop, can he carry the two big bags by himself?"

All boiled eggs were dipped in soy sauce, Cen Ran only liked to eat egg whites, and the rest of the egg yolk was given to Cen's father. In the end, Cen's father was reprimanded by Cen's mother, and Cen's mother sent Cen Ran back to school.

Luo Shixu ran into Luo Shixu at the school gate, and Luo Shixu brought a big bag for Cen's mother, stuffed two cushions and a quilt in it, Cen's mother praised Luo Shixu as she walked, and said, "It's getting cold, so your mother can give it to you as well." Prepare a thick quilt, be careful not to get sick."

Luo Shixu said, "I'm not cold yet."

Luo Shixu still slept on the mat. In another month and a half, he would move the quilt to Cen Ran's dormitory for Cen's mother. He said, "Auntie, let me spread the blanket for Cen Ran."

Cen Ran originally wanted to be lazy, but it's not that he doesn't know how to shop, so he was embarrassed in front of Luo Shixu for a moment, and said first: "I will shop by myself! Mom, you go first."

Cen's mother said: "I'm a little surprised that my baby is working hard all of a sudden."

"It's nothing to be surprised about. Didn't I make it myself several times?" Cen Ran glanced wildly, pushed Cen's mother out the door, and sent her downstairs to the dormitory.

On the road, I ran into Gu Xun again. Gu Xun didn't come to change the quilt. He had a pair of shoes tied on the left and right sides of the schoolbag he was carrying. The two shoelaces were tied together with a bow and hung on the belt of the schoolbag.

Yang Yue said that the boys in the class don't like to dress up, and the only thing that looks pleasing to the eye is the shoes. Gu Xun's shoes are more expensive than his clothes and other outfits combined.At this moment, the schoolbag is also bulging, exposing the edges and corners of the shoe box, and there is probably a pair in the schoolbag.

"Hello, Auntie! Auntie, it's been a long time since I saw you, you're still so pretty." Gu Xun opened his mouth and came.

Cen's mother nodded kindly to Gu Xun, Cen Ran sent her mother away, went back to her bedroom, and saw Luo Shixu taking out the quilt and cotton pad to be made.He is afraid that the bed board will be uncomfortable when he sleeps, and he likes the feeling of being trapped in the bed, so the bed he sleeps on should be padded with several layers, and there is no mat in summer, and he feels that it is too hard.

"I'll do it myself." Cen Ran hurriedly said.

Luo Shixu stepped back half a step, motioning for Cen Ran to start.Cen Ran threw the cotton pad up, then climbed onto the bed and pulled out his own sheet, wrapped it into a ball and temporarily threw it behind him.

He was in a hurry, and the effect he made was crooked. Luo Shixu stood on the ladder and looked at it, and said with a smile, "Let me do it."

He moved up neatly, then pulled out the untucked bed sheet, straightened it and aimed it at the mattress, wrapped the soft and wrinkled bed sheet with edges and corners, smoothed it again after finishing, the effect was similar to that of Cen's mother It came out the same.Cen Ran bit his lip while watching, and thanked him lumpily.

"You don't need to make it for me." Cen Ran said.

Luo Shixu said: "It's so messy, will you feel comfortable sleeping on it?"

"It's not very messy, it's troublesome to lay it out."

The subtext was that he didn't want to cause trouble for Luo Shixu. Luo Shixu understood it, and wanted to tease Cen Ran again, and he said, "It should."

He and Cen Ran carried their schoolbags on their backs and went to self-study at night. On the way, he bumped Cen Ran's shoulder with his arm, leaned over and asked, "Do you know why?"

He himself replied: "In the past, the little followers all regarded you as my wife. Of course I have to treat my wife better. Counting 17 years, I have been rushing to the silver wedding anniversary."

Cen Ran endured it, and couldn't take it anymore, so he stayed far away from Luo Shixu. After walking like this for a while, he still couldn't help it, and ran to the classroom with his schoolbag in his arms, not to walk with Luo Shixu again.
