youth and time

Jiang Yufan didn't understand why Jiang Huan asked such a question, he blinked, his eyes were confused: "What do you mean?"

"What do you mean by me?" Jiang Huan held Jiang Yufan's face, her tone was unusually serious, at least, she had never spoken to Jiang Yufan in such a tone, "Think about it yourself. To be honest, I I've never seen you care about who cares like this, do you really just regard Zhong Chaozhou as a good friend? Is it just a friend?"

Jiang Yufan was a little dazed. For the first time, he felt a little at a loss: "What...what do you mean? I'm really...just a friend...just..."

"Is it really just a friend?" Jiang Huan's expression and tone were sharp, as if the police were interrogating a prisoner. Jiang Yufan seemed to see the shadow of his uncle from Jiang Huan at this moment, "Think about it yourself, Deep down in your heart, do you really only regard Zhong Chaozhou as your friend?"

Jiang Yufan: "..."

"I...I don't know..."

Jiang Yufan looked really flustered, his usual pair of eyes soaked in mist were puzzled and bewildered at the moment, even more hazy, his hair was also messed up, and he completely lost his usual poise and calm beyond his age With a cold appearance, at this moment, he is more like a 15-year-old child.

Seeing his appearance, Jiang Huan felt a little soft-hearted. She sighed and stood up: "I'm going first, you should rest early. I won't force you, but you must think clearly about this matter. of."

Looking at Jiang Yufan's appearance, and thinking about the past, especially the time when Zhong Chaozhou ran away from home, Jiang Yufan's reaction, plus Zhong Chaozhou's unreasonable avoidance and sudden reconciliation, some thoughts are in Jiang Huan's heart Faintly formed, she put her hand on the doorknob, and said softly: "This matter is not a joke, you must think clearly, otherwise... it will not be good for anyone."

Jiang Yufan: "..."

Early the next morning, Jiang Yufan went out as usual, and Zhong Chaozhou was waiting at the entrance of the alley as usual. The difference was that Jiang Huan, Jiang Lin and An Ruosu also came out together.

Seeing the breakfast in Zhong Chaozhou's hand, Jiang Lin and An Ruosu were very pleased with the reconciliation of the two children. Only Jiang Huan, wrapped in a big padded jacket and a thick scarf, only showed a pair of eyes, and she used those eyes to He gave Zhong Chaozhou a hard look, and then left.

Zhong Chaozhou: "..."

What's wrong with this?

Jiang Yufan's head was in a mess, he was still thinking about the question Jiang Huan asked himself last night.

What exactly do I think Zhong Chaozhou is?Just friends?

"Here, breakfast." Zhong Chaozhou handed over the bag, "My mother fried fried dough sticks and soy milk."

Jiang Yufan didn't dare to look directly into Zhong Chaozhou's eyes, took the bag with his head down, and gave a soft "huh.

It was a new day and a new beginning, Jiang Yufan and Zhong Chaozhou were eating together and going to the study room together as usual, Zhong Chaozhou started to stick to Jiang Yufan to go to the bathroom or fetch water together again.

Everyone chatted and expressed their joy.

Yang Zhinuo and other boys said, this is the right way, let's talk directly between boys and boys, we are all good brothers, right?

Zhao Jianjian waited for the girls to say, that's right, what's wrong between the young couple can't be explained clearly, the conflicts are the conflicts, small abuse and joy, occasionally, but just this time, we almost thought that we It's cpbe, woo woo woo so scary.

In the blink of an eye, school was over, and a group of boys were in a hurry, shouting and calling out to hold a celebration banquet.

Zhong Chaozhou gently tugged at Jiang Yufan's sleeve: "Let's go."

"Ah."

The celebration banquet was booked at a barbecue restaurant near the school. Several people chipped in to book a private room, ordered barbecue, and ordered beer.

Boys at this age are very curious about things like tobacco and alcohol. No one is watching, so they just want to try it. Smoke, I know it in my heart, and I won’t touch it easily, but alcohol is different. Liquor and red wine cannot be drunk, but beer is still acceptable.

Yang Zhinuo took the wine bottle and poured wine for others. When he came to the wine, he asked, "Jiang Yufan, do you want to drink?"

Among the people at the table, only Jiang Yufan didn't look like he could drink.

Zhong Chaozhou: "Forget it, he..."

"Drink." Jiang Yufan interrupted Zhong Chaozhou's words, staring straight at the wine bottle in Yang Zhinuo's hand, "I'll drink."

Zhong Chaozhou's indifference and avoidance in the past week, Jiang Huan's series of questioning last night, made Jiang Yufan feel very confused now, but he didn't know how to cut the mess quickly, so the little Jiang Yufan thought It should be feasible to imitate the grown-ups and drink away their worries.

Yang Zhinuo looked at Zhong Chaozhou, and Zhong Chaozhou stared at him with a worried expression, with warning in his eyes, but Jiang Yufan had already stretched out a hand, signaling him to give him the plastic cup from which the wine was poured.

Yang Zhinuo: "..."

Fuck, what did I do wrong and you two make things difficult for me?

Xu Shao couldn't stand it anymore, he took the plastic cup, put it in front of Jiang Yufan, and said haha: "Oh, why don't you come out to play, isn't the most important thing to have fun? Brother Zhou, don't be so silly, don't worry. It's too strict."

Zhong Chaozhou choked: "..."

Fuck your mother, I'm strict!

Zhong Chaozhou ignored him, and asked Jiang Yufan: "Have you ever drunk? Just forget it, stop drinking."

"I haven't tried it, but I can try it." After Jiang Yufan finished speaking, he raised his head and took a sip from the cup.

The taste of the beer was not very good, it was very bitter after one sip, the bitter Jiang Yufan couldn't help frowning, his expression was distorted, and then he coughed violently.

The people at the table were frightened and got up one after another, those who took water took water, and those who handed papers passed papers.

Zhong Chaozhou quickly handed him a glass of water, and patted him on the back lightly: "Look at it, you're still being brave. This stuff doesn't taste good, don't drink it, be obedient."

Jiang Yufan shook his head with red eyes: "I, cough cough, want to drink."

"What are you drinking? Look at you! How can I explain to your parents what happened after you drank! And your sister, the way your sister looked at me when she went out this morning was like looking at an enemy. If you know that I let you drink, you can't peel me alive?"

Jiang Yufan still shook his head, and took the wine glass from Zhong Chaozhou's hand.

Seeing this, a table of people started to stop, but no one could stop them.

Zhong Chaozhou had no choice but to compromise and said: "Drink this cup first. You can drink it if you want. You can continue to drink it after the barbecue is served. You are not allowed to drink it now. Do you hear me? And, three cups at most."

Jiang Yufan: "..."

"If you want to drink, you can. Eat something to pad your stomach first, or it will be bad for your stomach, understand?"

Jiang Yufan was silent for a while, nodded, and obediently put down the wine glass.

The people at the table breathed a sigh of relief.

Xue Qiu said to Macaron in a low voice: "Scholarship Committee, I really have to go to Brother Zhou."

Macaron: "It's the same. Brother Zhizhou, you really have to go to the school committee."

Xue Qiu nodded sharply.

These two people are really one thing and one thing.

Jiang Yufan didn't feel much about grilling these things. He simply ate two bunches of broccoli, and didn't touch the others much, but he really touched a lot of wine.

In the middle of the meal, Jiang Yufan had already drank three glasses. He had never touched alcohol, and after drinking three glasses at once, his head felt a little dizzy.

Jiang Yufan half-closed his eyes, sat on the seat, put his hands on his knees obediently like a primary school student, his back was still straight, and he was in the same state as listening to lectures in class.

Zhong Chaozhou looked at Jiang Yufan's flushed face, and asked in a low voice, "Is that okay? How about I take you home first?"

Jiang Yufan shook his head and said nasally, "No."

The other people on the table trembled all over and almost threw the things in their hands. They all raised their heads and looked at Jiang Yufan in disbelief.

I'm used to Jiang Yufan's usual cold appearance, this cute and confused image of a little milk voice is really... I don't know how to describe it for a while, but... it's really cute.

At that moment, they seemed to understand the happiness of the girls in the class.

Zhong Chaozhou squinted his eyes and looked around the dining table. The others smiled awkwardly and lowered their heads again, but their eyes would drift over from time to time.

Zhong Chaozhou didn't care about it, and directly pulled Jiang Yufan's arm: "Let's go, I'll take you home, you can't stay outside anymore."

Jiang Yufan might be drunk, and no one can control the alcohol: "No, I don't want to go home."

"Jiang Yufan." Zhong Chaozhou bent down and emphasized his tone, "You're disobedient, aren't you?"

Jiang Yufan pursed his lips and whispered, "...listen."

"Listen, then go home. If you still want to come out to play, I'll take you out later. Go home now."

Jiang Yufan pursed his lips, and slowly stood up from the chair. Zhong Chaozhou held his arm, turned his head to say hello to the people in the class, and then left with Jiang Yufan. Others who wanted to help were rejected by Zhong Chaozhou. Rejected.

"Oh..." Yang Zhinuo sighed, "It can be regarded as a reconciliation. This week is scaring me to death."

"What's the matter with them?"

"It doesn't matter so much, just reconcile now."

"That's right. Eat it quickly, it will get cold later."

Yang Zhinuo looked up at the closed box door again, and frowned.

That's what he said, but he still felt that the relationship between Zhong Chaozhou and Jiang Yufan was weird. He couldn't explain why, but it was just... weird.

Probably my own illusion.

After leaving the barbecue restaurant, the cold wind blew on his face, Zhong Chaozhou couldn't open his eyes, and Jiang Yufan was also uncomfortable, so he hid in Zhong Chaozhou's arms with the strength of alcohol.

Jiang Yufan's furry head rubbed against Zhong Chaozhou's neck, making him itchy, his neck itching, and his heart itching.

Zhong Chaozhou shook his head and dragged Jiang Yufan towards Guhuai Lane.

There is another alley next to Guhuai Lane, but that alley is a dead end, and there are only two trash cans in it.

Jiang Yufan was so drunk that he admitted his mistake when he left, and insisted on turning into a dead end, Zhong Chaozhou couldn't even pull him back.

"Brother, that's not the way home, home is still ahead!"

Jiang Yufan leaned against the wall, did not speak, and lowered his head.

Zhong Chaozhou looked at him with both love and hatred. After a long time, he sighed deeply: "Forget it, it's only a few steps away, you wait here obediently, I'll go back and call some people over, you... Hey, hey !"

Before Zhong Chaozhou finished speaking, Jiang Yufan reached out and hugged his waist, and led him towards him. Zhong Chaozhou's foot became unsteady, and he fell on Jiang Yufan. It hurts Jiang Yufan.

Jiang Yufan hugged Zhong Chaozhou's waist, buried his head in the hollow of his shoulder, his voice was soft, but he could hear clearly: "Don't go."

The voice sounded aggrieved, like an abandoned kitten, Zhong Chaozhou's heart softened in an instant, he straightened up, hugged Jiang Yufan into his arms, and patted him on the back: "Okay, okay, don't go. Then you are obedient, and I will take you home, okay?"

Jiang Yufan didn't answer, but just said his own words: "Why are you... ignoring me? Are you still avoiding me?"

"what?"

"You just avoid me. You...you..." Jiang Yufan became more and more aggrieved as he spoke, his voice began to choke, "You avoid me, you ignore me, I hate you."

"No, I didn't, I didn't hide from you, and I didn't ignore you, I was...that..." Zhong Chaozhou didn't know how to explain it. It's not good to tell the truth, and I couldn't find a decent reason. Yes, he struggled for a long time before continuing, "I have my own reasons. I didn't want to avoid you. During that time, I was really... not feeling well, so I..."

"Is it because of me?" Jiang Yufan raised his head, looking at him with wet eyes, "Is it because of me, my character, I'm too unsuitable for making friends, you, you annoy me, you don't like me anymore , don’t want to continue to be friends with me?”

"……what?"

Zhong Chaozhou didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "No! What are you thinking about! It has nothing to do with you, it's my problem!"

"Oh." Jiang Yufan lowered his eyebrows pleasingly, very well-behaved, "Is it really not my problem?"

"Not really!"

Jiang Yufan hugged Zhong Chaozhou tightly again, and said in a low voice: "Then can you not ignore me in the future, if I make a mistake, tell me, okay?"

The voice is grandma's, soft.

Zhong Chaozhou was stunned for a while, and then he realized that Jiang Yufan was...acting like a baby, right?

"Speak up." Jiang Yufan shook the clock towards Zhouzhou lightly, and looked up at him, "Don't hide from me in the future, okay?"

"Okay, okay, I won't hide from you, I won't hide from you."

"you swear!"

"I swear, I will never hide from Jiang Yufan again!"

Jiang Yufan looked up at Zhong Chaozhou for a while, and suddenly laughed foolishly. He hugged Zhong Chaozhou tightly, leaned into his arms, and said stickily, "Pai Daxing, you are so kind. I like you so much."

Zhong Chaozhou: "..."

Fuck!

He teases me!

The night sky is dotted with stars, and in the dark alley, the boy's mind has nowhere to hide, and it is spread out and exposed in front of his sweetheart.

Sending Jiang Yufan home, his drunken appearance scared Jiang Lin and An Ruosu. The couple were very open-minded. They did not stop Jiang Yufan from drinking, and even teased him to drink, but Jiang Yu Fan is very reserved, not to mention wine, he doesn't even touch the glass, he didn't expect to drink like this today.

Jiang Yufan's parents were there, and it was inconvenient for Zhong Chaozhou to stay any longer. After delivering Jiang Yufan, Zhong Chaozhou returned home.

After taking a shower, changing his clothes, and throwing the alcohol-stained clothes into the washing machine, Zhong Chaozhou sat on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Thinking of Jiang Yufan's coquettish appearance in the dead end just now, Zhong Chaozhou suddenly remembered what Jiang Huan said

——Xiaofan acted coquettishly, unless it is reinforced concrete, no one can stand it.

He didn't know if it was true or not, but he couldn't bear it to be true.

Zhong Chaozhou thought of Jiang Yufan's silly smile in the dead end, and suddenly he laughed too, in a silly way.
