◎There is such a picture...it is his confession to him◎

After the meal was over, Liu Fei took out a one-hundred-dollar bill from his trouser pocket and slapped it on the table in a very chic way, calling the boss to pay the bill.

Walking out of Ersan Restaurant, Liu Fei originally planned to ask Jing Jie to follow him home from the river, so that he could chat a few more words.They have been friends for so many years, some things don't need to be said, just reach out and grab each other to understand, but he didn't expect that under his tugging, Jing Jie would stand in place without moving a bit.

"Go back by yourself." Liu Fei heard Jing Jie say so.

Liu Fei tilted his head, "Aren't you going back?"

"Yes." Ji Huai replied on behalf of Jing Jie, "He went to get a present from me."

Liu Fei glared at Ji Huai.

Ji Huai stuffed his hands into his trouser pockets, "Why, I'm not allowed to give you gifts if you're allowed to treat guests."

Liu Fei couldn't see that he was being beaten, so he said three times, "I'll go, I'll go, I can walk the small road of friendship by myself."

"It's so exaggerated." Jing Jiexu kicked him, "Hurry up and go back, your mother will fuck you again if you come back late."

"Come on!" Liu Fei waved at them, "See you next week!"

It was dark early in November, and it was already dark before seven o'clock.

After watching Liu Fei's figure go away, the two left and walked back to the school gate.

The school was very quiet on Saturday night, and there were few pedestrians passing by even on the side of the road. Only occasionally late-after-get off work vehicles roared across the long street, raising a faint cloud of smoke.

This is the first time that Jingjie has stepped into the neighborhood opposite No. [-] Middle School in so many years.

It's big, and it looks very advanced.

The unit building where Ji Huai's apartment is located is very close to the gate, almost sticking to the side of the road.

The door of the unit building also looks very high-end, and you have to swipe the owner's card to open it.

When Ji Huai took out the card from his pocket, Jing Jie stood aside and looked at the surrounding environment.

The greening of the community is very good. If you look around, there are either buildings or trees.The tree is not limited to a certain species, but a little bit of everything is planted, and it does not pay attention to rules, as long as the driveway is left out, it looks messy and beautiful.

The door of the unit beeped, and Ji Huai's voice immediately reached Jingjie's ears, "Let's go."

Jing Jie responded and followed him into the door.

Ji Huai's apartment is on the fifth floor, which is not too high. The two of them ate a lot of dinner, and they didn't take the elevator, so it was just exercise to digest food.

The lights in the corridor are very smart, and I don't know if it sensed human voices or something else. Whichever floor the two of them walked to, the lights on that floor would light up.The snow-white light can be used as a ghost film material with a few flashes.

Because Ji Huai lives alone, Ji Huai's apartment looks quite simple, there is a sofa and a table in the small living room, and there is a small stool beside the table, Jingjie guesses that it may be used to raise one's feet.

"Sit down." Ji Huai adjusted the white light in the living room to warm light, "Sit whatever you want, you're welcome."

Jing Jie didn't think there was anything to be polite about, so he walked to the sofa and sat down according to his words.

"Would you like something to drink?" Ji Huai walked into the kitchen, opened the refrigerator, and shouted outside.

"Whatever." Jing Jie said.

Ji Huai then took a bottle of Coke, walked back to the living room and threw it towards Jingjie from a distance.

Ji Huai probably threw things a lot, and his aim was pretty good, but unfortunately he threw things too suddenly, Jingjie didn't react in time, and was almost hit on the head by Coke.

"Hey." Ji Huai took a step back guiltily.

"What the hell." Jingjie ate a lot of dinner, felt that his stomach probably couldn't hold this carbonated drink, so he casually put the Coke on the table, "You're trying to knock me out straight away Better save a gift."

"That's not enough." Ji Huai wiped his hands on his trousers, "At most, he will be knocked unconscious and hug the bed to play a hooligan."

Jing Jie clicked his tongue and said nothing.

"Then you sit down first, I'll go and get the things out." Ji Huai ran into a room as he spoke, the angle was wrong, and Jing Jie couldn't tell if it was a study or a bedroom, or any other room.

Not long after Ji Huai entered the room, he brought out a rather large box. There was a pink and tender ribbon tied to the box, and a bow was tied on the top.

"Your taste is quite unique." Jing Jie felt a little overwhelmed.

"This is just a formality." Ji Huai put the box on the table in front of the sofa, "If you don't like it, just take it apart."

"Tear it down." Jing Jie said.

Ji Huai paused, "What I said just now was just a formality..."

"It's not that disgusting, I mainly want to take it apart and see what's inside." Jing Jie looked at Ji Huai as if asking for advice, "Can I see it?"

Ji Huai hesitated for a moment.

He didn't expect Jing Jie to be eager to open the gift, after all, he didn't really believe the expectation and curiosity that Jing Jie said from the beginning.

Jing Jie is too good at hiding his emotions, it has to be said that he was deceived.Although the other party didn't seem to intend to lie to him.But he just got tricked.

In fact, there is nothing to see.This thing was originally given to Jingjie, Jingjie can watch it if he wants to, anyway, he will see it sooner or later.

but……

It shouldn't be such a coincidence...

Ji Huai comforted himself.

That thing is quite difficult to operate, besides, there is still a one-seventeenth probability that it is there, no matter how lucky Jingjie is, it will not be there.

Besides...he also wanted to see how Jing Jie would react when he saw the gift.

Ji Huai collected himself, nodded hard and said, "Look."

Ji Huai's heroic appearance made Jing Jie more curious about the contents of the box.

Actually he wasn't quite telling the truth.

He is indeed curious, but not to the point where he has to take it apart here to take a look.

He wants to open the present now because he dislikes the ribbon and bow.

It's gimmicky, even if it's dark now, he still dislikes letting him go back with such a thing.

If Ji Huai Elementary School had taken a handicraft class, then his work must have been unqualified.

I didn't know it at first glance, but when Jing Jie started to dismantle it himself, he found that the ribbon outside the carton was very unwary.

No, it can't be said that he didn't care about his heart, after all, the person who did this was Ji Huai, so his heart should be gone, it's just a handicap.

Jing Jie removed the twisted bow and put it aside, under Ji Huai's horrified gaze, he took out a utility knife from his school uniform pocket, slid the tip of the knife out with a click, and scratched on the paper tape that sealed the top.

"You, you..." Ji Huai didn't know what words to use to express his shock at the moment.

Jing Jie glanced at him, and found that the other party was staring at the utility knife in his hand, understood something, and reluctantly took out a few more things from his pocket.

Two pencils, an eraser, and...a pocket notebook.

Ji Huai: "Are you Doraemon?"

Jing Jie put everything back into his pocket calmly, "Just in case I brought it with me, I rarely use it."

"When did you start?" Ji Huai didn't want to admit that he didn't know much about Jingjie, so he asked with a hint of luck.

"Last semester." Jing Jie said.

Ji Huai: "The end of the period is still..."

"School starts." Jing Jie looked at him with a smile.

Ji Huai couldn't believe it.

"I've said it all, I haven't used it much." Jing Jie stopped teasing him.

"Oh." Ji Huai felt better, but still felt puzzled, "You don't need to carry it?"

"I said it all just in case." Jing Jie said, "You copied all your reading comprehension, right?"

"Nonsense." Ji Huai coughed lightly, and helped Jingjie open the box, "I was just frightened by your behavior of taking out a knife every now and then, and those who didn't know thought you were going to burglarize."

"What's there to snatch from your bare-bones family?" Jing Jie probed into the box, "What is this?"

"Claw machine." Ji Huai reached in and lifted the miniature claw machine out.

Mini is indeed mini.Jingjie didn't know if Ji Huai made it custom-made or bought it off-the-shelf. The body of the claw machine is not a monotonous color, but a SpongeBob SquarePants theme, and the main colors are yellow and pink.

"The seller said that Squidward had too few materials, so they only got SpongeBob SquarePants and Patrick." Ji Huai pointed to the upper right corner of the operation panel, where a little Squidward stood, "I just bought it alone." Come and stick it on, isn't it cute?"

"You are lovely, uncle." Jing Jie said so, feeling quite happy in his heart.

These days, he thought a lot about what Ji Huai might give him, but he never expected it to be this.

It was indeed a surprise.

Although... this claw machine really has nothing to do with his aesthetics.

But it's just an external unit, it's not important, the important thing is the bamboo tubes in the window.

"What's in the tube?" Jing Jie asked.

"A gift for you." Ji Huai said.

"You want me to catch it myself?" Jing Jie looked at him.

"Yes." Ji Huai said, "You can only catch it once a day."

Jing Jie found it funny, "Aren't you afraid that I'll cheat?"

"You won't." Ji Huai began to put a high hat on him, "I believe in your character."

"Tsk." Jing Jie picked up the special game coins in the small box hanging on the outer wall of the machine, "Do you believe it or not? I'll catch them all right now?"

Ji Huai snorted, "If you catch one today, I'll call you Dad."

"The tone is quite loud, did you lower the probability?" Jing Jie untied the bundled data cable, "Is there a socket?"

Ji Huai bent down and reached out to grope under the sofa for a while, and pulled out a wiring board, "One time out of 99."

"Shameless?" Jing Jie recalled what Ji Huai said earlier that he could only be caught once a day, and looked in the window to count, "You plan to let me catch these 17 for 4 years, right?"

Ji Huai helped him put the plug on the wiring board, "That's great, the gifts for 4 years are saved."

"Why don't I only catch one a year." Jing Jie squinted at him and said, "The 17 years are all saved."

"Aren't you afraid that you will die of curiosity?" Ji Huai took out a game coin from the small box and put it into the coin slot for Jingjie, "How understanding I am."

"But you're so awesome." Seeing that there was still a decent countdown panel on the operating table, Jing Jie pinched the joystick with two fingers and shook it back and forth, so that he could see it immediately. The plastic clips that don't hold things steady are aligned with the topmost bamboo tube.There were still 20 seconds left in the countdown, Jing Jie looked around to make sure the clip was aligned properly, and then looked at the clip a few more times, "I suspect that even if the clip is stable, it won't be able to hold anything."

"I thought so too." Ji Huai said.

Jing Jie pressed the button of the lower clip.

The plastic clip came down with a rattling sound, making it feel like it would fall off the thread any second.

Slowly, the clamp lowered to the bamboo tube, stuck the bamboo tube in, then retracted and exerted force, and then slowly lifted up with the sound of clicking.

The two outside the window held their breath at the same time.

The bamboo tube was moved by the upward pull, slowly flew into the air, and then slowly flew towards the exit with the movement of the clip.

bang bang

The bamboo tube rolled out from the outlet, landed on the table again with a thud, and rolled forward twice under the guidance of inertia.

Seeing that the bamboo tube was about to fall to the ground, Jing Jie reached out to catch it, and the bamboo tube fell into his hand with a pia.

Jing Jie felt that this scene was quite embarrassing, because before he clawed, Ji Huai still firmly believed that it was impossible for him to grab something.Even he thought so himself.

But to the surprise of the two of them, the little broken plastic clip took a breath for himself, and proved to them with practical actions that it could indeed hold things.

So next, should we look at the things in the bamboo tube first, or let Ji Huai knelt down and called Dad first?

Jing Jie glanced at Ji Huai.

Ji Huai froze.

He solidified when the bamboo tube was clamped from the plastic clips.

There is almost a [-]% probability that he lied to Jingjie. He is not that heartless, so the probability has been adjusted to one-thirtieth at most.

One-thirtieth, no matter what, it takes a month to pick it up once.

but……

how can that be possible?

Ji Huai found it difficult to breathe.

Jingjie was looking at him.He feels it.He had to respond.

Ji Huai reluctantly pulled the corner of his mouth, "It's pretty amazing."

Seeing that Ji Huai's condition was not right, Jing Jie couldn't bring up the matter of calling him father, so he could only raise the bamboo tube in his hand, "Can I open it?"

"Of course." Ji Huai still smiled, but unconsciously clenched the hand by his side.

He prepared seventeen gifts for Jingjie, and the gifts were reciprocal. The seventeen gifts were all paintings, which were rolled up and stuffed into bamboo tubes one by one.

It was the first serious painting he had done when he was growing up, and there were [-] pictures in one painting. Although the result was not satisfactory, Jingjie could definitely see his hard work.

but……

But among the seventeen paintings, there was one... It was his confession to him.

He was tired and didn't want to hide his thoughts about Jingjie anymore, so he used this method.However, at least for now, he is not ready to face the result.

Looking at the bamboo tube in Jingjie's hand, Ji Huai felt that he was an idiot.Before he put these bamboo tubes into the claw machine, he deliberately scrambled all the bamboo tubes in order, so that he didn't even know which bamboo tube contained his own heart.

At that time, he thought, it was all predestined.

And now, fuck it!

He regretted it.

Today is Jingjie's birthday, no matter what, he doesn't want to make Jingjie feel distressed at such a moment.

Anyway, not today.

Jing Jie opened the lid of the bamboo tube.

Ji Huai felt that he probably couldn't breathe anymore.

It turns out that when people are extremely nervous, even instinct can be forgotten.

One in seventeen chance.

Not so much.

Ji Huai comforted himself as before.

"It's a painting." Jing Jie glanced at it, then reached in with great interest and pulled out the rolled paper.

Ji Huai's Adam's apple rolled, and the sound of his heartbeat drowned out all other sounds.

At this moment, only the roll of drawing paper and...Jing Jie's hand slowly pushing away the drawing paper remained in his world.

Blue sky and white clouds, green trees and creek, sitting and standing by the stream, two short-haired boys in the school uniform of No. [-] Middle School, with their backs to the outsider.

No.

The world became clear again.

All kinds of voices flooded into my ears like a tide.

The rustling of leaves blown by the wind, the whistling of cars passing by, and Jingjie's merciless complaints.

"You child's drawing is quite childish."
