But just like what grandma said, the baby that has been born changes every day, and grows up at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Time seems to give people of different ages different speeds. When they grow up to their teens, they gradually become unaware of the passage of short-term time. Day after day, they remain motionless and feel dull and slow.

For more than a month, He Zhao watched Zhang Bei'er grow from a wrinkled baby to a plump, round, white, white and chubby little pier.

August 8st, the day before the school officially starts, is He Zhao's birthday.

The 18th birthday is somewhat special.

He Zhao never expected to be so special that his grandfather, grandma, He Wenyan, Aunt Xu, He Han, He Xi, Zhang Peng, Zhang Jiangyang, Lin Peiling, and Zhang Beier sat at the same table for dinner.

Since He Wenyan and Lin Peiling divorced, this was the first time the two families got together.

The place to eat was chosen by my grandma. It is an antique farm, which meets her requirements and is healthy and hygienic.

He Zhao was a little worried at first, but the meal went smoothly from start to finish unexpectedly.

But when grandpa happily said for the third time that He Zhao would definitely be admitted to the best local university with his current grades, he couldn't hold back: "I want to go to Beijing to go to university."

Originally, He Zhao didn't intend to say it so quickly, especially on such a rare occasion, but he couldn't hold back after all.

"I don't agree!" Grandpa reacted quickly and spoke decisively, leaving no room for doubt. "This matter is not negotiable, and I will not agree."

"Why do you want to go to Beijing to go to university so well? You have never left your parents' side since you were a child, and you have never stayed in a hotel. How can grandma feel at ease when you go to such a long distance by yourself? Who can take care of you if you have a headache? "Grandma didn't agree either.

"I just want to go outside and have a look, and it's not like I won't be back." He Zhao said.

"I am just a grandson like you. You are the hope of our family. It is impossible to let you go to other places. There is no need to talk about it." Grandpa usually looks easy to talk, but in fact he is very strong. He is more powerful than anyone else on issues related to family blood. All shafts.

After a few seconds of silence, He Zhao asked, "Why don't you say anything more? This is my own life, and I don't even have the right to discuss it?"

This has been the case since he was a child. Grandparents, He Wenyan, anyone can make decisions for him, but he can't.Everyone loves him and respects him very much, but no one listens to him when he speaks well, and he can only be won by protesting, crying, acting like a baby, playing tricks, and being willful.

"He Zhao, pay attention to the tone of your voice when talking to grandpa." He Wenyan said.

He Zhao continued, "I've thought about it seriously, I don't want to stay here forever."

"You don't want to stay here forever? What do you mean? Where do you want to go? Our whole family has been rooted here for generations, where do you want to go? Ah?" Grandpa's anger was on the verge of erupting, "Grow up , the wings are stiff, don’t you even want to recognize my grandfather?”

"No, where are you going? I just want to go to a university in Beijing, so I won't recognize you." He Zhao still maintained a calm tone, he didn't want to quarrel with his grandfather.

He had long expected that he would face such a reaction when he put forward this idea, and sighed silently in his heart.

"Okay, you proposed that you want to go to Beijing to go to college, I don't agree! It's impossible to agree! You go to college locally, get married and start a business. This is the biggest wish of me and your grandma. Don't say anything good to me, not around What's the difference between filial piety and ignoring me as a grandpa?" Grandpa said.

"Can I just stay in this city?" He Zhao asked.

"Yes, you can't go anywhere! Don't think about it all day long. Neither Beijing nor Nanjing is the place you should go. If you really want to go to Beijing, don't recognize me as a grandfather. Anyway, you are 18, I don't care. I can't care about you anymore, and your father can't control you anymore." Grandpa's tone was fierce, full of official authority.

"What are you talking about! Why don't you admit it? You don't recognize me!" Grandma said to Grandpa, looking at He Zhao, "Xiao Zhao, tell grandma honestly, why do you want to go to Beijing? Come back, it will take four years, what will you do if you call grandma? And since you always have to come back, it’s better to stay here and have your own connections.”

The most commonly used method by grandparents is a combination of rigidity and softness, one person makes a bad face and the other sings a bad face.

"Now that the traffic is so developed, it's only a few hours by plane. You can come to see me when you miss me, and don't you have summer vacation and winter vacation? I will definitely come back." He Zhao said.

"It's not so light and easy to say," grandma said as she caught a glimpse of grandpa about to speak up again, and smoothed things over, "There is still a year to go, don't rush to make a decision now, and discuss it after the college entrance examination results are out. Not too late."

"Yeah, kids, they always change their minds." Aunt Xu said, "Don't talk about unhappy birthdays."

"Let's talk about it later." He Wenyan spoke again and made a final decision.

He Zhao once heard from his grandma that He Wenyan was studying in a foreign university, she was busy with his grandfather, and He Wenyan was in another city, so the three of them were away from home all day.He was a little unconvinced, why could they all do it, but he couldn't?

However, he also heard that He Wenyan's grades had always been excellent, and that his mentor had even intentionally recommended him to go abroad for further studies, but his grandfather firmly disagreed and forced him to come back to work and take root in this soil.

He Wenyan never mentioned this matter, and never showed any reconciliation or dissatisfaction. He seemed to seldom disobey his grandfather's wishes, and seemed to have his own persistence. He Zhao couldn't understand him.But he could feel that He Wenyan had no objection to him going to Beijing to go to university.

So not surprisingly, this "battle" will be a tug-of-war between him and his grandfather.

Grandma is usually hot and hot, but she is soft-hearted towards him, and grandpa is usually soft-hearted towards him, but if it is really hard, it is a hard rock.

He Zhao didn't say anything, and grandpa didn't say anything more, but when he left, grandpa's face still hadn't recovered.

On the way home, Lin Peiling asked, "Honey, are you planning to go to Beijing to study?"

He Zhao hadn't mentioned this matter to Lin Peiling yet, so he didn't know Lin Peiling's thoughts, so he responded softly: "Yes."

"It's fine if you think it through on your own. Mom supports your decision." Lin Peiling said gently.

"The university in Beijing is good and promising." Zhang Peng was driving, staring intently at the front, "Xiaoyang, you should also work hard, if you can take the exam, you can go to Beijing, and Xiaozhao can have a support there."

"I'll let it go. I have no home since I was a child, and now I finally have a complete family. I just want to stay near my home and don't want to go far away." Zhang Jiangyang teased Zhang Beier with a toy.

"Hey, if your grandma heard your words, she would scold you as a wolf." Zhang Peng said.

Zhang Jiangyang was brought up by Mrs. Zhang since he was a child. Everyone knows that Mrs. Zhang loves him.

"I'm not wrong, no matter how good my grandma is to me, she can't replace my parents." Zhang Jiangyang said casually, "My brother can go to Beijing if he wants to go to Beijing, go to the United States if he wants to go to the United States, and come back if he wants to come back. I'm at home Wouldn't it be nice to accompany you?"

"That's good," Lin Peiling smiled. "The main thing is to make you feel good. If you feel good, we will be happy as parents. You don't have to think about us. Anyway, we will always be your solid backing."

He Zhao was a little touched suddenly, rubbed his nose: "It's not like I won't be back."

"I definitely don't doubt it, but Xiao Zhao, grandpa and grandma are stubborn, you should tell people well, discuss it slowly, don't be in a hurry, you know?" Lin Peiling urged, "You know how good grandpa and grandma are to you, and they are Because I miss you."

"Got it." He Zhao responded.

Back in the community, He Zhao said goodbye to them on the sixth floor, and returned to the seventh floor with a gift bag.

Grandparents have always been generous, and He Zhao received precious pens and watches.

The door was not closed, as if it was waiting for him.

He Zhao pushed the door suspiciously and went in, when suddenly the lights went out.

Cakes are placed in the living room, candles and roses are lit on the table on the ground, and the small light bulbs twined around are faintly emitting warm light spots. The whole living room is arranged into a sea of ​​light and flowers.

"Fuck, this battle." He Zhao couldn't help laughing.

Yi Shi covered his eyes from behind to prevent him from looking: "Stop laughing, it's really exaggerated."

He Zhao: "Then you still do it?"

Yi Shi: "I bought a lover's romantic package."

He Zhao pulled his hand down and kissed his fingers: "Shouldn't you say that you arranged it yourself?"

"Don't lick it, you can't arrange it yourself," Yi Shi said, "The merchant told me that it will be a romantic experience that I have never had before, and I didn't expect it to be so..."

He Zhao likes romance, but he thinks he lacks romantic cells, so he directly ordered a romantic package for lovers online.He didn't realize how flamboyant it was until the door-to-door staff arranged it.

"Although exaggerated, it's also quite romantic." He Zhao turned his head and kissed him, "Whether you spend money or thought for me, I think it's very romantic."

"The request is really low." Yi Shi lowered his head and kissed him back.

After the kiss was over, He Zhao licked his lips eagerly, and said with a smile, "That's right, just give me a kiss and that's enough."

"Really?" Yi Shi asked him.

"Of course, another one would be even better." He Zhao said.

The faint candlelight outlined the outline of He Zhao's face. Yi Shi touched his face and said in a low voice, "Baby, happy 18th birthday."

He Zhao kissed him, and whispered into his ear, "Let me tell you a secret, the 18-year-old He Zhao still likes Yi Shi a lot."

Yi Shi hugged him tightly, and the two hugged quietly for a while in this flamboyant atmosphere. He Zhao was able to put away all the good and bad emotions of the day, swaying around, and actually had some romantic feelings.He likes the smell of Yi Shi very much, it smells good and light, and he likes Yi Shi's hug very much, it is safe and comfortable.

"Why did you choose the No. [-] Middle School?" He Zhao asked a question without beginning or end.

"You." Yi Shi said.

"Me? Isn't it? Don't tell me, you fell in love with me at first sight." It was the answer He Zhao wanted to hear, but he insisted on disbelief, "I don't believe it."

"It's not love at first sight, but it left an impression." Yi Shi said.

He Zhao smiled and said nothing.

Tomorrow is the first anniversary of his encounter with Yi Shi.

He clearly remembers that day.

I will definitely remember that day many years later.

The heat in the summer evening has not yet dissipated, and the layers of lights are dimmed and overlapped, like stars connected into a Milky Way.The light and dark are handed over, the bustle and splendor is like a falling dream, and it is an ordinary day there.

There is not much grand meeting, lively, noisy, alleys, street lights... He raised his head casually and saw the tall and thin figure from behind.

They are like dolls randomly placed by fate at a specific moment, like that bus, like thousands of people on that road, they have traveled thousands of miles, walked through crowds, and traveled through the torrent of time until they unconsciously approached each other. Stop and stay.

When he was 17 years old, he met a boy passing by the long street, and he was embracing the boy with all his strength.

Because of the encounter with this boy, his 17-year-old was cut off from other times and became a unique vacuum.

Since then, recalling the past has a different meaning.

Since then, he recalled the 17-year-old, recalling that summer, it was full of throbbing warm wind.
