However, it is unavoidable to become a little brisk.

Li Xiao stopped suddenly, and Shi Yu quickly stopped his jumping movements, and stood still behind him.

Li Xiao stopped in front of a casserole and porridge shop, which was also very old, and had been here since they were studying.

Li Xiao turned around and asked him: "I didn't eat enough just now, I'm a little hungry, do you want to eat?"

Before Shi Yu could nod his head, his stomach responded first. He basically didn't eat in the store just now, and only drank a few glasses of soju.

Now my stomach is empty, and I can't wait to cry out when I hear something to eat.

Shi Yu lowered his head in shame, covering his unreserved stomach.

Coming out of the store just now, Li Xiao's expression was not very good, but his expression eased slightly: "It seems that you are not full."

There was an indistinct smile in that voice, and it trembled slightly, making Shi Yu's ears feel hot.

The two walked into the porridge shop, and the proprietress came up to order with a smile. She was a little older than before, but she didn't change much.

"What do you two want to eat?"

Even the tone of speaking and the consonant at the end of the sentence are the same as before, without much change.

Shi Yu's heart twitched slightly, he secretly raised his eyes to look at Li Xiao, but Li Xiao's expression remained unmoved, he might not even remember this store at all.

He lowered his eyes again in a little disappointment.

Li Xiao probably had forgotten it long ago.

Just like a leaf falling into the water, it only stirred up a slight ripple, but soon stopped. Not many people would work their busy brains to remember these insignificant trifles.

There was a large pot of dried scallop porridge with shrimp and crab, covered with two pieces of crab shells. Li Xiao had already paid for it. Shi Yu was very aware that he was eating free food, so he took the initiative to fill a bowl for Li Xiao first, and carefully poured ginger into the pot. Silk also picked out.

He remembered that Li Xiao could accept the taste of ginger, but hated eating ginger itself.

Li Xiao paused, and took it as if nothing had happened.

Seeing that he didn't refuse, Shi Yu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and filled another bowl for himself.

Li Xiao took a sip of the porridge, and looked up at Shi Yu who was sitting across from him, drinking the porridge with his head down.

It can be seen that the other party is still not doing very well these years. Although the shirt has been washed clean, it is a bit too old, and so is his briefcase, which is so old that it is peeling off.

The person is also thinner than when he was studying, the shirt is empty, and the two shoulder blades protrude from the soft fabric, which has a sharp feeling.

The way he shrugged his shoulders showed that he was accustomed to being bullied. When he was bullied by those people in high school, he would still have a gloomy feeling of dissatisfaction, and he would fight back without saying a word. Anger is gone.

Li Xiao thought of being ridiculed like that just now, Shi Yu didn't even react, he looked completely numb, and the fire came up again inexplicably.

He suddenly said, "What's the matter with you?"

Shi Yu put down the spoon and looked at him with wide eyes in surprise: "Why, what's the matter?"

Li Xiao's face was obviously unhappy. He looked at the other person's expression as if he was frightened, but he didn't restrain himself. Instead, his face became more vicious: "Why do you live more and more, they bully you like this? You, do you accept it?"

Shi Yu was stunned by his sudden attack, and the other party's angry look made him even more flustered. He racked his brains, and finally held back a sentence like an excuse: "... just don't talk about it, let them talk about it." , forget it.”

The other party did not accept the meaning of this statement at all, but his face turned dark.

Shi Yu was at a loss, compared to those people's harsh words to each other, this person's frown made him feel more nervous.

He hurriedly said, "It really doesn't matter, anyway, I won't see them again—"

Originally, I came here only to see you this time.

The second half of the sentence was swallowed by Shi Yu in time, but the words had already been spoken, and the rest of the meaning was too obvious and straightforward.

Li Xiao stopped talking.

Shi Yu also shut his mouth, he was overwhelmed by shame and remorse, Li Xiao just rejected him clearly, and he still said such words, he was very afraid that the other party would feel embarrassed or even disgusted.

Li Xiao didn't feel embarrassed, but saw that his face turned from red to white, he was panicked that he would leave the meeting, and there was a three-point anger in his heart that hated iron and steel, but now he couldn't express it at all.

He put a chicken paw on the other party's plate, and said helplessly, "Scratch them with your paws, does it feel good to be at a disadvantage?"

But avoid talking about others.

Shi Yu gnawed his paw absently, and nodded in agreement.

It was past ten o'clock after dinner, and because both of them had drunk before, Li Xiao hailed a car.

Shi Yu actually doesn't really want to take a car, if he does, he will break up soon.

But Shi Yu didn't dare to say that, he pursed his lips, and got into the back seat with Li Xiao.

The car was a bit stuffy, and the two sat side by side. Shi Yu didn't dare to move at first, and sat stiffly with his back straight. He didn't hear any movement around him, so he peeked over from the corner of his eye and saw Li Xiao holding his hand. His forehead was rubbed, probably because of the strength of alcohol, and he was dozing off with his eyes closed.

Now that the other party was asleep, Shi Yu was a little bolder, turned his stiff neck and looked at Li Xiao.

The interior of the car was dim, and occasionally there would be lights from outside projected in, reflecting Li Xiao's face in a radiant light.

Shi Yu stared at Li Xiao without blinking, not wanting to miss any light that fell on the other's face. The slightly fluttering of the other's nose and the slight trembling of the eyelashes seemed to stir up a slightly itchy wind in his heart.

In the quiet carriage, the two of them were carried to an unknown direction.

Shi Yu really hoped that this car would never end and never stop.

God didn't hear his wish, he didn't drive for a long time, the car stopped at the gate of an old residential area, where Shi Yu's family lived.

Li Xiao also woke up, his eyes were clear, he wondered if he fell asleep in the car just now.

Shi Yu didn't want to get out of the car, but he had no reason to dawdle, so he had no choice but to pull the doorknob, courageously looked at the other person, and said, "... goodbye."

This was the first time he met Li Xiao's eyes tonight.

Li Xiao looked into his eyes, and even in the gloom of night, he looked very energetic, focused and stubborn.

Li Xiao thought of the eyes that had been fixed on him in the car just now, he pretended to sleep and didn't want to open his eyes, probably because he found it difficult to face such eyes.

But under the expectant and apprehensive eyes of the other party, he nodded and said, "Well, see you next time."

Those eyes seemed to be lit up instantly, Shi Yu nodded vigorously, got out of the car, waved his hand vigorously through the window, and then turned and walked into the old community.

The taxi walked back, Li Xiao looked back, Shi Yu had already melted into the dark neighborhood, the rusty iron gate, the security room that was never on duty, were exactly the same as when he came a few years ago.

He looked outside the car again. The street was very old, but not old enough. There was no way to tear it down or change it. It gradually dragged down to a lifeless look, year after year, the spring and autumn outside The years have changed several times, only Shi Yu still lives here, staying in the same old time.

This made him feel a little soft in his heart, and felt dull and meaningless.

There is no elevator in the old community, and Shi Yu's family lives on the fifth floor, which is fortunately not very high. He drank alcohol, and his feet were already a little wobbly. upstairs.

After entering the door and pressing the light, the first thing Shi Yu saw was the woven bags piled up at the door, which were filled with plastic bottles and cans, as well as brooms and broom handles that were bundled from the snakeskin bags one by one. There is also a red sanitation worker's uniform hanging on it.

Shi Yu's originally happy heart suddenly fell back to the original place, and the alcohol seemed to evaporate from his body instantly, and he was completely awake.

Those who maliciously ridiculed him today were right. His grandma was a sanitation worker who cleaned the streets.

"Xiao Yu, why are you back so late?" Grandma came out of the room tremblingly, dazzled by the light, she covered her eyes with her hands, "Oh, it's so wasteful to turn on the light so late .”

Shi Yu went up to support her: "Grandma, you fell asleep, why are you up again?"

"If you don't come back, I won't sleep well. I'll wake up when I hear you coming upstairs." Grandma patted his hand, "It'll be fine if you come back. I've left some food for you. Remember to eat it." .”

Shi Yu saw that there was indeed leftovers covered by a cover on the table, and he said helplessly, "I told you, I'm going to eat outside tonight, so you don't need to leave food for me."

"Oh, oh," said grandma, slapping her forehead, "You said you were going to attend some class reunion. It was so hard for you to attend once. I forgot."

Grandma asked curiously again, "Have you seen your old classmates today?"

Shi Yu nodded: "Yes."

"Yeah, keep in touch with your former classmates, I think you are always alone..." Grandma couldn't help nagging, "...Yes, I remember there was a boy who always talked to you He played together and came to our house, but he hasn't come for a long time now, have you seen him today?"

Grandma is old and has a little amnesia. She can't remember many things clearly, and sometimes she suddenly remembers some inexplicable things.Shi Yu didn't expect her to mention this suddenly, paused, then nodded, "I see."

"That's great," said grandma happily, "let's bring him to play again."

Shi Yu didn't know what to say, so he nodded again: "It's late, grandma, you should go to bed first."

"Yes, yes," Grandma nodded repeatedly as if she just remembered, "I have to get up after four o'clock to sweep the floor."

But Shi Yu seemed to be stabbed by a needle, his eyebrows
