The throbbing that couldn't help the wind only sprouted a little, and was uprooted again.

——An Yuan's Diary

After Yu Yang came out from the side door of the audio shop, he thanked the boss: "Boss, thank you."

The boss waved his hand, "Just use the toilet, no thanks."

The boss put the tape picked by Shen Xingchun into the radio, pressed the play button, and the prelude sounded. He closed his eyes and listened to the prelude with enjoyment, and tapped the rhythm with his fingers on the wooden table. He introduced to them: "It was released by Jacky Cheung in 1993. "Kiss Goodbye" is one of my favorites."

Shen Xingchun rested one arm on the table, watching the black tape spinning in the radio, the radio was connected to the stereo, and the sound of music was flowing in the small audio shop.

"The past and the past become clouds and smoke."

"Dissipate in front of each other."

"Even said goodbye."

"I can't see that you are a little sad."

……

"I kiss you goodbye, on a deserted street."

"I can't refuse to make Feng laugh silly."

"I kiss you good-bye, in the wild night."

……

When the song entered the chorus part, Shen Xingchun raised his head several times to look at the watch hanging on the wall, and walked to the boss, interrupting his happy enjoyment, "Boss, don't play it anymore, I want this one."

Yu Yang hadn't heard enough, so he said "Hey", "Chun'er, why are you in a hurry? When this song is finished, I'm going to pick a few sets to go back."

"You pick it yourself," Shen Xingchun held another set of mixed songs that he had picked at the beginning, many songs in it were An Yuan's favorite, "Boss, the sound quality of the tape is very good, don't try it, add Take the plate in my hand, how much do I want these two plates in total?"

"Okay, I'll take out the tapes for you." The boss pressed the pause button, took out the tapes in the radio and handed them to Shen Xingchun, "There are fifteen in total, let you take thirteen."

Shen Xingchun took out his wallet and paid the money. After picking up the tape, he raised his chin at Yu Yang, and motioned to him, "You're here to pick it up, I'm leaving first?"

Seeing that Shen Xingchun was about to leave, Xu Xinting came over and patted Shen Xingchun's arm lightly, "Are you in such a hurry? Can you choose one for me together?"

It was only then that Shen Xingchun remembered that Xu Xinting was still following him. He came to the audio shop with Yu Yang after the last subject of the exam in the afternoon. They had just entered the store, and Xu Xinting also came a few minutes later.

It was impossible for him to just turn around and leave, since they were all classmates, it was not good to embarrass the girls, and he was here to buy tapes.

The summer vacation lasted for more than 30 days. An Yuan usually didn’t like to play with the children in the village. Sometimes he couldn’t take An Yuan with him when he went to the mountains farther away with his grandfather to dig medicinal materials. Thinking of him staying at home alone would definitely make him bored.

At the beginning of the year, Shen Jianjun sent the TV sets and VCD players they eliminated to his grandma's house. He had rented a lot of movie discs a few days ago, and now he bought tapes, all to pass the time when An Yuan was bored during the summer vacation. of.

There was expectation in Xu Xinting's eyes, and Shen Xingchun could tell that he felt that he had to speak clearly, and he couldn't delay, it would not look good to have a girl always follow behind him.

He squeezed the tape in his hand, and after thinking about it, he still politely refused: "I'm sorry, I'm not very good at picking tapes, my brother is still waiting at home, I have to go back, the boss must know this better than me, you have If you don’t understand, you can ask the boss in the store.”

The owner of the audio shop is a smart person. He knew what was going on when he saw this scene. He took the initiative to make a rescue, and waved to Xu Xinting, "Come on, girl, I know the tapes well. Whom do you like to listen to? I'll give it to you." Introducing..."

Of course Xu Xinting could hear Shen Xingchun's refusal, she lowered her head in disappointment, turned her back to Shen Xingchun and walked to the boss to choose the tape.

Standing by the side, Yu Yang looked at this and that, and finally followed Shen Xingchun out of the audio shop.

Shen Xingchun didn't take it seriously, and watched the tape while walking. It wasn't until they walked a long way that Yu Yang asked, "I said Chuner, you don't like such a beautiful girl as Xu Xinting?"

Shen Xingchun took down the schoolbag on his shoulder, put the tape in it, and said after reciting it: "I don't have that much time and energy now."

"It's all on vacation, don't you have time and energy?" Yu Yang didn't understand, "Besides, you have such good academic performance and such ideas, falling in love shouldn't affect you at all, and Xu Xinting's studies should also be good. It’s very good, when the time comes, we will take the exam in Beijing together and struggle together, just think about how beautiful it is.”

"What a beautiful fart," Shen Xingchun smiled, and walked faster and faster, "If you don't talk about it, you don't talk about it. It doesn't matter whether you study or not. Don't talk too much. Why are you following me if you don't go home?"

"I'm going to my grandma's house today." Yu Yang's grandma's house followed Shen Xingchun along the way, he was mainly curious, "Why are you walking so fast?"

Shen Xingchun didn't slow down, "Xiao Yuan'er is still waiting for me at home."

Yu Yang thought of An Yuan and asked: "By the way, why didn't Xiao Yuaner come to wait for you today?"

"I told him yesterday that it was too hot in the afternoon, so I didn't let him come. I told him that I would go back after the exam, and we will return to the village tomorrow."

Yu Yang sighed again, "Chun'er, you and Xiao Yuan'er have such a good relationship, so much that you think about your brother every day, and the girl can't even look down on you. Brotherly feelings like you are really rare. Dear Brothers can't compare to the two of you, no, even lovers who are passionately in love can't compare to the relationship between you two."

Shen Xingchun raised his eyebrows. When Yu Yang said this, he just said what was on his mind. He didn't mean anything else, but it carried a different meaning in Shen Xingchun's ears.

With his hands in his trouser pockets, he didn't slow down.

When Shen Xingchun arrived home, he saw An Yuan standing at the door from a distance, with two large canvas bags beside him, and the iron door behind him was also locked.

He quickly ran two steps to the door, "Xiao Yuaner, why are you standing at the door? Look at your face, it's so red. Did you forget your keys when you went out to play? But why did you take out all your bags?" ?”

An Yuan's complexion was very ugly, her face was very red, her hair was already drenched with sweat, leaving strands of hair sticking to the skin on her forehead, her lips were also very red, and there were two clear tooth marks on the edge of her lower lip. Shen Xingchun saw that it was his own tooth marks.

Anyuan's lips were slightly parted, and he was breathing heavily. He moved the corners of his lips with difficulty and said, "Brother, I thought you weren't coming back."

"What are you talking about? Didn't I say I'll come back after the exam? What's wrong with you today?" Shen Xingchun raised his hand and touched An Yuan's forehead, "Did you suffer from heat stroke?"

"No heatstroke." An Yuan moved her neck to avoid Shen Xingchun's palm.

He couldn't stand at the entrance of the audio shop just now, so he went around to the small road and ran all the way back. After arriving home, he started packing his luggage. As soon as Shen Xingchun came back, he wanted to take him back immediately.

He grabbed Shen Xingchun's wrist and shook it, "Brother, let's go back to the village now."

"It's already afternoon, come back tomorrow."

"I don't, I'll go back now." An Yuan yelled, his voice a little loud, and passers-by looked at them one after another.

Shen Xingchun frowned and looked at him, An Yuan was too abnormal recently, but he really couldn't think of what the problem was.

An Yuan also felt that his voice was too loud, so he lowered his head, but did not let go of Shen Xingchun's wrist, and said in a hoarse voice, "Brother, let's go back now, I think, I miss grandpa and grandma."

"There is almost no car now." Shen Xingchun said.

An Yuan kicked the canvas bag on the ground, "I packed everything, now I can go to the station to catch the last bus back."

Shen Xingchun glanced into the yard through the crack of the iron gate, "Is everything in order at home? Is the electric switch pulled? Are the doors and windows closed?"

An Yuan said anxiously: "The electric switch is pulled, the doors and windows are closed, I have cleaned up all the clothes and quilts in the yard, your books, mine, all of them are in the bag..."

Shen Xingchun looked at his tightly held wrist, and didn't ask any questions. An Yuan wanted to go back, so he took him back, and it wouldn't be too late to ask after he went back.

The two caught the last bus, because on Friday, there were already a lot of people on the bus, most of them were students, and the seats were almost full.

"Master, are there any seats left?" Shen Xingchun held a bag in one hand, stood on the steps and looked in.

The driver stretched his head and looked back, pointing to the last row of window seats, "There's another one in there."

"Just one seat? The two of us."

"Let's squeeze and sit together, the person who comes up later can only sit on the ground."

Shen Xingchun didn't say anything else. After getting in the car, he put the bag in his hand on the shelf, and moved it to the side, letting An Yuan go inside first.

A few more people got on the back and sat directly on the floor. The driver saw that the people were almost gone, closed the door and started the car, turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator, the car shook, An Yuan lost his footing, and fell to the side, Shen Xingchun He quickly supported him, took his hand and walked inside.

The last row of seats was fairly roomy, and a thinner child sat next to the last empty seat.

An Yuan sat in first, and the mother of the child next to her asked the child to move to her side, while Shen Xingchun sat in the middle, clinging to An Yuan.

An Yuan watched the car pull out of the station before secretly letting out a sigh of relief looking out the window.

But the choking heat wave rolled in from the open car window, and quickly blocked his throat and chest.

There are many people in the car, and the smell of sweat is mixed with the pungent smell of the car seats that have not been washed or changed for a long time.

An Yuan only felt that the root of his nose was swollen, and he tilted his head, leaning on Shen Xingchun's shoulder. Shen Xingchun also tended to sweat in summer, but the smell on his body was not unpleasant.

An Yuan moved his nose slightly, taking advantage of the loud friction sound when the car was passing by on the potholed road, the tip of his nose was close to the base of Shen Xingchun's neck, and he took a sharp breath, feeling a little better in his heart.

On the way back, he just kept leaning on Shen Xingchun's shoulder. Both of them were hot and uncomfortable, but neither of them moved.

The car left the town and was driving on the road with green farmland on both sides. The wheels rubbed against the ground, and the flying dust was blown into the car along with the wind.

The tip of An Yuan's nose itch, and he called softly, "Brother..."

Shen Xingchun squeezed An Yuan's fingers hanging on his thigh, "Are you sleepy? If you are sleepy, just close your eyes and lean on my shoulder to sleep for a while."

An Yuan originally had his eyes closed, but he closed them obediently. Hearing Shen Xingchun's rhythmic breathing, he opened his eyes again after a while to see a little stubble on Shen Xingchun's chin.

Shen Xingchun has already started to grow a beard. He will shave regularly in the morning. Sometimes An Yuan will shave for him out of curiosity. His technique is not very good, and he always scratches Shen Xingchun's chin. Every time Shen Xingchun laughs and says something about him, But as long as he says "Brother, I'll help you shave" next time, Shen Xingchun will still hand him the razor.

An Yuan opened his eyes for a long time and felt sore, and then closed them again.

After going back and forth several times, he was really sleepy and fell into a deep sleep with his eyelids closed.

In An Yuan's dream, he dreamed that in the winter of that year, Shen Xingchun sat around the fire with him, and told him that Xiao Yuan'er would be Brother Chun's wife when she grew up.

At the end of the dream, there appeared Liu Shanbao's dry and bony face, the cold tomb, the shaking knots, and a group of people spitting abuse and ridicule.

A man who likes a man is a pervert, a lunatic, and will die just like Liu Shanbao.

He didn't want Brother Chun to be scolded as a pervert, he just wanted Brother Chun to be well and always be well.
