ashamed

At 02:30 in the afternoon, they arrived at Tong Youming’s home in another urban area. Although they missed the rush hour at noon, they still encountered a traffic jam on the way. After the previous car accident experience, Si Jun was told not to drive too fast, so the journey was leisurely. He drove to the community identified by Tong Youming. Si Jun had long forgotten this place, and he couldn't even recall the faces of the couple. Half of his life took up most of it, and he could only think of the child kneeling at his father's feet, gritted his teeth and wept.

Don't look at Tong Youming's moderate and gentle personality on the surface, but in reality he is stubborn and hard-hearted, and his soft heart is all due to his emotional bondage. Otherwise, after he swore to make a clean break with Si Jun, he would not turn back even if he died.

Thinking of this, Si Jun's heart is still cold in midsummer.

He hurriedly shook Tong Youming's hand when they were the only two in the car, but the latter unknowingly held his fingers instead, and asked, "Is the air conditioner too cold? Let me adjust it for you." ?”

He shook his head, smiling and stroking his smooth hair that slipped through his fingers.

Si Jun parked the car under the tall poplar tree in the yard, and followed Tong Youming into the cool corridor of the old-fashioned building, stepping on the green shade all over the ground. He carried the bag in one hand, and walked up the stairs two steps to the In front of a black door on the third floor, Dudu knocked, "Mom, I'm back."

Si Jun straightened his slightly hunchbacked back.

After seeing Tong Youming's mother, he thought of his own mother from this to that.

Si Jun hasn't called his mother for several years. His mother passed away due to illness when he was 23 years old. Neither he nor his father were exiled in grief for too long, because she had accepted her life that had to end here. Came over to advise Si Jun and his son that they don’t have to force them to stay since their personnel are exhausted. Si Jun doesn’t have a runny nose or a tear when he thinks about it now. of.

——Of course it turns out that his father is completely out of his turn to be pitiful.The old man was very vigorous except for the blood clot, and he had a lot of fun fighting against the sky and the earth.

"Mom, this is my friend, Si Jun." Tong Youming introduced to the woman with a smile on his face. The habit of not calling her by her name and a little guilt made him awkwardly cut off the sentence, "I will send you off today." I'm back."

"Hello, Auntie." Si Jun was surprisingly polite, "I'm sorry for coming here without saying hello."

"Hey, it's okay... come in and sit down." Because of her height, Tong's mother raised her face and pulled her hair behind her ears. Send him off, please."

"It's okay, no trouble." Si Jun and Tong Youming met each other's eyes in the void, and then consciously went around and sat down on the sofa. Seeing Tong Youming calling "Dad" while pushing open the door of the study, the old man seemed He was practicing calligraphy inside, he looked away, and politely took the cup of tea that Tong Mama put in front of him.

"Thank you auntie."

"No thanks." The woman sat down with her hands folded and turned down the TV volume a little. "I haven't heard Tongtong talk about you before, college classmate?" Naturally, there was some suspicion about age in his tone.Si Jun smiled, "No, I am a patient Tong Youming treated during his internship in the hospital. I met him a month ago."

"Oh." Mother Tong adjusted her glasses, "What's wrong?"

"A car accident, nothing serious."

"It's really worrying for young people to drive on the road now. Be careful in the future."

His mother went to greet Tong Youming to come over for a drink of water after greeting Si Jun, and asked him if he was hot or tired. As soon as the child arrived home, the mother's original focus of life would follow. At this time, Tong Youming's father He also came out of the room and greeted the stranger with a serious face. Si Jun found that Tong Youming didn't look alike to his parents. If you look carefully, you can find that he combined all the advantages of both of them. , born a little too well.

Anyway, how he sees it is good.

The ensuing greetings fell into the customary routine of "stay for dinner" as you can imagine. Most people would make a few times of refusal and evasion depending on the host's situation. He really didn't have any idea about this, so he simply turned his questioning gaze to Tong Youming.

He stood there and drank all the water in the glass, came over and touched Si Jun's shoulder with the back of his hand, and changed his old friend's usual and slightly teasing tone when he spoke, "Okay, don't be strangers either, Go out with me to buy something, stay here to eat before leaving."

His mother blamed him and stopped him, "How can you drag customers to buy vegetables?"

Si Jun stood up calmly, and smiled with Tong Youming as he walked out the door with Tong Youming's hand pulling his clothes, "It's okay, Auntie, I don't mind seeing you later..."

The door closed with the sound of footsteps.

It wasn't until outside that Tong Youming returned to the usual state by Si Jun's side, smoothing out the folds on the edge of the clothes with his fingers.Reflecting on his own performance in front of his parents just now, he was trying to hide it, and even the decision to let Si Jun come back with him seemed reckless and ill-considered, but he was afraid and wanted to test his parents' reaction, because he wanted to make Si Jun come back with him. This relationship is maintained, and one day it will pass this level.He is very clear.

The corridors of the old-fashioned houses were quiet and cool, and a few meters of sunlight came in from the stone windows above their heads, falling on Tong Youming's hair and refracting into a comfortable dark brown color.

"I don't mean anything...I just, um, please..." he said, "Just pretend I want to spend one more day with you."

Si Jun especially liked the way Tong Youming raised his eyes slightly to look at him, no matter how serious the words were, the angle was too suitable for kissing.

Si Jun closed his eyes as if disarming and surrendering.

"Oh my god." He repeated, "Everything is up to you."

They went to the supermarket not far from home, and when they walked out of the residential area, Si Jun happened to check the time, it was just after three o'clock.

There were not many people in the supermarket, and Si Jun followed Tong Youming through the counters of all kinds of fresh vegetables. He tilted his head and looked at the way the other party held a lemon and smelled it under his nose, and he felt a little inexplicable emotion in his heart. .

——Everyone has a restless soul when he is young, and he can't wait to write his life into poetry, splash it into ink, and squeeze out his youth. He is always afraid of becoming ordinary.But everything will eventually settle down after the ups and downs, and the glitz is gone, so let it go and find someone to accompany you to watch the long flow of water.

Si Jun felt that he might be the first person in the world to buy groceries so much that he wanted to make a private decision for life.

"What are you thinking?"

When walking back, Tong Youming laughed at him, threw a pink apple right into his palm, and took away the bag in his hand by the way.The street surface was dry and hot from the sun, and there was a pleasant summer breeze at the moment. There were small shops selling popcorn on the road, and the street was filled with the sweet and creamy aroma.

"Think about a lifetime." Si Jun walked beside him with his shoulder.
