The Spring of Prince Syndrome

Yuanyuan took him to take a taxi, Tan Ruikang said: "Is there no bus? You always take a taxi to school?"

Sitting in the co-pilot seat, Yao Yuan said uncomfortably, "Take the minibus to school... There are so many people leaving get off work now, I don't want to squeeze the bus."

Tan Ruikang stared at the meter and said, "It's too expensive to take a taxi in a big city."

Yuan Yuan's little affection for him just now disappeared completely, and it was not good to tell him not to care about it, so he had to change the subject and say, "The environment here is not bad."

"It's really clean." Tan Ruikang said: "It's much cleaner than our village, and the road outside is cleaner than at home. It can be used as a bed."

distant:"……"

The taxi driver smiled and said, "Where did the little brother come from?"

Tan Ruikang said, "Hunan."

The taxi driver said: "They are all from all corners of the country. When they come, they are locals. Hehe, it is an immigrant city."

"Here we are." Yuanyuan got off the car in the city center, and opened the door for Tan Ruikang after paying the money. This habitual move was reserved for girls, and he didn't pay attention to it for a while. His eyes were full of surprise and admiration.

This is a new immigrant city full of feasting and feasting. Yuan Yuan led him along and said, "Across the street is the securities business department. A few years ago, the gate was so crowded that the glass was broken. I heard that people were crowded to death."

Tan Ruikang asked in surprise: "Why! What happened to them?"

Yuanyuan said: "Grab stocks."

Tan Ruikang looked bewildered, Yuanyuan guessed that he didn't even know what stocks were, and said: "The things that make money, it is said that there is gold everywhere here. When we came here just now, there was a senior vocational technical college. Here it is called High Vocational College for short. , that school is good."

Tan Ruikang followed Yuan Yuan, Yuan Yuan pushed open the glass door, went to the McDonald's counter to order food, and turned around: "What do you eat?"

Tan Ruikang: "..."

distant:"……"

Yuanyuan couldn't tell how funny it was, Tan Ruikang looked up at the light board, Yuanyuan took the menu and pointed it at him, saying, "Look here."

Tan Ruikang looked at it for a while, and many people were queuing up behind him, Yuan Yuan was a little uneasy, Tan Ruikang noticed this slight change in him, and hurriedly said: "I... whatever."

"Then I'll order." Yuan Yuan said, "Double Cheese Burger, General Burger, Two Black and White Double Stars, Apple Pie, Big French Fries, Big Coke..."

Yuanyuan announced the menu like a cannonball, came over with a plate, and sat down by the window.

Tan Ruikang took a look at the bag in the paper box, and smiled far away: "There are no chopsticks."

"I know that." Tan Ruikang smiled self-deprecatingly, imitating Yuanyuan and began to eat, his face became very strange when he took a bite.

There was pickled cucumber in it, Yuan Yuan said, "Don't you like it?"

Tan Ruikang hurriedly said he liked it, adjusted the cola again, and found that the ice cream was soaked in the cola, his face became even weirder.

Tan Ruikang's expression of resolutely eating was seen in Yuanyuan's eyes, which made Yuanyuan feel uncomfortable eating a meal. If he had known that he would have taken him to eat Chinese fast food, he would have dismissed it.

"Ketchup, some?" Yuan Yuan squeezed a lot of ketchup on the French fries, and Tan Ruikang's expression looked more like seeing a ghost, and hurriedly waved his hands: "I just eat like this, it tastes good."

Yuan Yuan: "Well, if you like it, eat more..."

Tan Ruikang: "These potato sticks cost eight yuan? It's really expensive! Grandma will cook and eat them during the Chinese New Year. Once the potato cakes are fried, they are a big pot."

distant:"……"

The girl next door was amused and laughed, turning her head to look at them from time to time, her distant face looked ugly.Tan Ruikang stopped talking.

When the meal was almost over, Yaoyuan answered the phone, leaned on the chair domineeringly, lazily swung the swivel chair left and right, hung up and said: "I will take you to the bar later, introduce some friends, okay?"

"Wine... bar?" Tan Ruikang said: "No, let's go home and study."

Yuan Yuan had to call again and told the other party that he was not going.

After hanging up the phone, the two were silent, Tan Ruikang said: "Go...the bar is not good, come on, brother give you this."

He lowered his head to take something out of the pockets of his jeans. The jeans were already very tight, and Yuanyuan was a little smaller than Tan Ruikang. Although he chose to wear the jeans that Zhao Guogang had bought for him, they still looked very narrow on Tan Ruikang.

What to take?specialty?

Yuan Yuan watched his movements expressionlessly, Tan Ruikang touched for a long time, took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes, shook a box of matches, and the people around looked at them curiously.

Yuan Yuan immediately got up and whispered: "You can't smoke here, keep it for now, go out and smoke..."

Yuanyuan cleaned up the dishes, stopped Tan Ruikang from calling the waiter, and dumped the leftovers into the trash can. The dishes were put away. At seven o'clock in the evening, the air after rain was very fresh. Tan Ruikang wanted to say something under the street lamp, but Yuanyuan Looking for the canteen, Tan Ruikang said: "Come on, brother, Xiaoyuan."

The sound of "brother" was called out, and a string in the distant heart that hadn't been uttered for a long time was plucked, and it made the first muddy sound after many years of confusion.

The two got together and lit a cigarette. Tan Ruikang's fingers were beautiful, dark and slender. Through the light of the fire, he could see calluses on the base of his fingers from a distance.

Yuan Yuan took a sip, and the pungent smell of the smoke immediately coughed up his tears.

"Cough! Cough!" Yuan Yuan's throat was burning with pain.

Tan Ruikang laughed, Yaoyuan coughed half to death, wanted to throw away the cigarette, or asked how much a pack of the cigarette cost, but was afraid of hurting his self-esteem, so he had to endure the discomfort and took a few sips, saying: "Go home, I I also want to go back and read the book."

Tan Ruikang asked: "Take the bus, I want to be familiar with the road here."

"I want an IC card." There were so many people at night, Yuanyuan didn't want to take the bus, so he made up a reason to lie to him, opened his wallet, showed Tan Ruikang the bus card, and said, "I'll get you one in a few days."

Tan Ruikang nodded, and the two took a taxi to go home. Yuan Yuan remembered that he forgot to buy a toothbrush and towel for Tan Ruikang, and when he was about to go down again, Tan Ruikang hurriedly said: "I brought it, it works."

Yuan Yuan went into the bathroom and took a look. Tan Ruikang's towel was covered with small black spots, and the bristles of his toothbrush were rough.

Forget it, let’s go buy it tomorrow, Yao Yuan told him that this is body wash, this is shampoo, this is facial cleanser, toner, and hand sanitizer for men.Tan Ruikang nodded in a daze.While talking, Yuanyuan's call came again, urging him to go to the bar three times and four times, Yuanyuan was almost as busy as his father.

Yuanyuan hung up the phone impatiently, and went back to his room to read a book—it will be fine in a few days. If Tan Ruikang goes to school, the vocational and technical schools will stay in accommodation. When you come back, you will live like a guest.

Tan Ruikang was reviewing English in the opposite room, Yuanyuan looked up at him from time to time, Tan Ruikang looked very clean under the warm light, his dark skin and close-fitting short hair looked very earthy, his bare feet stepped on the teak floor, his toes bent on the ground.

There was a dog downstairs and it was locked on the balcony. Most likely the owner hadn't come back yet and was barking non-stop when he was hungry.Disturbed by the noise, Yuanyuan unpacked the earphone cable in the bag and looked for a plate.

"Xiaoyuan." Tan Ruikang said, "Do you remember the dog raised by Grandpa's family?"

"Is there?" Yuan Yuan casually said, "I forgot."

Tan Ruikang said: "When you were five years old, there was a big dog named Ah Feng in the yard of your grandfather's house. When he saw it, he kept barking at you and made you cry."

Yuanyuan thought to himself that it was really embarrassing, what old things are still being brought up.

He held the earphones, intending to politely end this small conversation, Tan Ruikang said again: "Ah Feng likes you. I hugged you and rode him, and you kept crying."

Yuanyuan's mouth twitched slightly: "Did I ride it?"

Tan Ruikang said with a smile: "I fell down after riding for a while, and Ah Feng and I were beaten up."

Looking at Tan Ruikang in the opposite room from afar, he stuffed an earphone in, left his ear empty, and asked, "Is the dog still there?"

Tan Ruikang said: "It's gone, I died a few years ago."

Yuanyuan nodded, plugged the earphones in both ears, successfully ended the situational conversation, bowed his head and finished selecting songs, and lay on the bed to flip through the picture album.

It was raining outside, and the air conditioner didn't need to be turned on. The cool water vapor was blowing in with the summer wind, and I fell asleep rolling over.In the dream, it was green, as if I could hear the cry of Zila Zila.

"Here, this is for you." The thin monkey climbed down from the tree.

Five-year-old Xiaoyao took the cicada and asked, "Eat?"

"Bake it over fire and eat it." The thin monkey hurriedly said, "Hey, if it's still alive, don't put it in your mouth."

Tan Ruikang wore two cicadas on a tree branch, and walked towards the ridge with Xiaoyao in one hand. The poisonous sun made the two of them sweat profusely, and the skinny monkey's sweat soaked their bodies into strips of ashes. The two found a shady place to squat , Tan Ruikang shook the matchbox next to Yuanyuan's ear, struck a match to light a fire, and roasted two cicadas for Yuanyuan to eat.

During dinner, Xiaoyao was heated up and couldn't eat. Grandma asked what he ate outside today, and Yuanyao replied that he ate cicadas.So Tan Ruikang was beaten.

Sleeping drowsily, Yuanyuan felt someone taking off his socks, and knew that Zhao Guogang had returned without opening his eyes.

He turned over and continued to sleep, uncomfortably took off his jeans and threw them on the ground, the lights were turned off, the earphones were taken off, the windows and doors were closed, and the door was closed.

Yuanyuan felt something was wrong, opened his eyes in the dark, and saw Tan Ruikang's back.

He was really sleepy. There were too many things to do today, so he was too lazy to get up and say anything. He didn’t know how long the doorbell rang while he continued to sleep, and then he heard Zhao Guogang’s voice, and the sound of the door opening and closing. Zhao Guogang came in, took a look at him, and went back to his room. asleep.
