long life

The author says:

Yu Xiu slung the backpack over his shoulder, got up and took the water glass in Zhou Jing's arms and held it in his hand. He wanted to find a place that wasn't too messy for Zhou Jing to be quiet for a while, and then talk about other things after he regained his energy.

According to the instructions of the map, the two came to a garden square. There were not many people, but there were a few children chasing and playing around the flower bed.

The two found a bench and sat down. The background behind them was a field of four-season begonias in full bloom. The white bench, red tile flowers, and four-season flowers were always there. It was a poetic and picturesque place.

Zhou Jing sniffed the fragrance of flowers and plants brought by the gentle breeze, and his energy was much better than before. He turned his head to look at Yu Xiu beside him, and inadvertently saw the pale golden sunlight hitting the boy through the branches and leaves.

I have to admit that Yu Xiu's appearance is really impeccable, no matter the wind or the sun, he can always blend with him easily.

"It should be snowing in the north now." Yu Xiu cast his eyes on the distance, and it sounded like he was muttering to himself.

Zhou Jing smiled, and said lightly, "Maybe, I haven't seen snow for two years."

"I still remember the snowman you took me to build when I was young, and I also remember the plum blossom forest next to the old school building." Yu Xiu said that he had stopped for a while, as if he suddenly became interested. When he looked at Zhou Jing, his eyes seemed to be filled with excitement. Staring at the stars, "Brother, let's go back and watch the snow together when we have time."

Zhou Jing froze, then grinned, talking about the falling snow in the north under the warm sun in the south, which was surprisingly romantic.

"Okay." He agreed, and then asked Yu Xiu: "Didn't you go back in the past few years?"

Yu Xiu hugged his backpack in front of him, and sat down on the bench next to Zhou Jing, "It's a long story, the old house has been sold for a long time, and it happened not long after you left. The company's affairs have been tossing a lot, and I'm not sure which city I can have the New Year's Eve dinner this year."

Zhou Jing nodded. Now that the Chinese New Year is coming, he lacks the atmosphere of his childhood. He has spent the past two years with his mother. Since he moved out of his grandfather's old house, the connection with his relatives has become stronger and stronger. It's getting less and less, saying it's Chinese New Year, but it's just a meal that is more ordinary and better.

"It's actually a very happy thing to be able to celebrate the New Year with my family." After Zhou Jing said this, his expression seemed to become a little gloomy.

This year, maybe it will be unsatisfactory. After all, the lawsuit is still pending. Even if it is resolved, Zhou Desheng may not be so peaceful.

Seeing his lonely expression, Yu Xiu felt a little uncomfortable. He originally planned to bring Zhou Jing to relieve the pressure, but he didn't expect to torment him very much.

He looked down at his phone and found that it was already past 11:30. Thinking that Zhou Jing might feel hungry, he asked, "Brother, do you want to eat something?"

"Yes." Zhou Jing nodded in agreement, but thought that Yu Xiu was hungry and wanted to eat something.

Yu Xiu immediately stood up, took out his mobile phone, clicked on the map and flipped through it, and said, "Then let's go find..."

Before he finished speaking, he suddenly felt someone hit his back with a stone. Yu Xiu subconsciously turned his head and found that the instigator was a little boy holding a balloon.

The boy was not very old, and he was standing across the flower bed looking at them, with a rather schadenfreude expression on his face, as if he was complacent about hitting the "target".

Yu Xiu frowned, and when the child raised his hand again, he pulled Zhou Jing to stand up quickly.

This time, the rocks turned into sand. Fortunately, the two of them dodged in time so that they would not be splashed all over their bodies by the sand.

Seeing that he didn't succeed, the boy yelled at the spot while pulling the balloons, yelling, "The sneak attack failed! The sneak attack failed! Call the headquarters!"

"This kid is really bad, and needs to be cleaned up."

Seeing Yu Xiu's angry posture, Zhou Jing grabbed his arm, although he was helpless at that brat's prank, but he didn't think he would argue with a child who didn't know much about the world, "Forget it, Yu Xiu, let's go. "

Yu Xiu put the bag on his back slowly, passed the water cup to Zhou Jing, and said softly, "Brother, wait for me, I know what to do."

"Hey..." Zhou Jing didn't stop him, but felt that Yu Xiu shouldn't make any immature actions at his age, so he simply stood there and waited for him to come back.

I saw Yu Xiu walked around the flower bed to the boy, then squatted down and reached out to touch his hair, with a gentle and kind tone, "Promise brother, don't throw stones at passers-by next time, okay?"

"I won't." The boy stuck out his tongue at him, still showing no remorse for his prank.

Yu Xiu raised his eyebrows, and then quickly poked at the balloon with his hand. Before Zhou Jing could see his action clearly, there was a "bang", and the balloon that was originally floating in the air instantly turned into nothingness.

The boy was taken aback for a moment, then the corner of his mouth curled up and he cried loudly, even Zhou Jing was a little unexpected.

"Brother, run!" Yu Xiu threw away the evil half-twig in his hand, and couldn't help but pull Zhou Jing up and ran quickly out of the garden.

The two adults shuttled through the passing crowd like children, and didn't stop to catch their breath until they ran far away from the garden square.

Zhou Jing supported his knees and panted heavily, his chest was filled with beating drums, he couldn't help laughing, and he couldn't understand why he was laughing.

"If you don't teach him a lesson, he will continue to throw stones at others, and you can't just let him go just because he is a child." Yu Xiu said while looking in the direction he was running. , turned his head and shook his hair again, his appearance was a bit chic.

"I really don't know what to say about you." Zhou Jing paused for a short while, and said with a smile: "It's not worthy of criticism, nor worthy of praise. If you encounter the same thing in the future, it should be handed over to their parents. As for parental discipline and No, these are their own business."

"Yes." Yu Xiu tilted his head and curled up one corner of his mouth, showing a full-fledged smile, "Keep it in mind."

Zhou Jing was taken aback for a moment, lost his mind for a moment, his heart still beating, and his breathing was a little disordered.

Ever since Yu Xiu appeared, he always had the illusion that he hoped that this person could always be with him, like a family member, or...a partner?

The sudden crazy thought made him sweat. Fortunately, Yu Xiu was looking at the map of the playground with his back turned to him, so he didn't notice it.

Zhou Jing stood on the spot and took a few deep breaths, trying to make herself look more natural.

He thought, maybe he was just tired, and when he was tired, it was inevitable that he would not have random thoughts. Yu Xiu was like a relative to him, and he had been getting along with brothers since childhood, or maybe the idea just now was just a temporary emotional confusion. So realistic.
