surface light

In the future, can you teach me to study hard?

As the night fell, the warm yellow nightlights surrounding the artificial lake came on suddenly, and several private cars floated by. The curious Dou Jingzhe even looked up a few times, and plausibly recognized the model and brand in front of him.

When they first entered high school, Dou Jingzhe and Bai Jiang sat at the front and back tables by the window, and they could see the cars speeding by on the main road with a slight tilt of their heads. While others were reading the text, they were anxiously arguing about the model of a dilapidated three-wheeled car.

In Yucai, passing by a BMW X3 will attract public opinion.After all, anyone with a little bit of money and a little background would sharpen their heads and send them to the third middle school. No matter how poor the fifth middle school and the thirteenth middle school can be used as spare tires, most of the families who can get involved in Yucai are not capable.

"Brother Jiang, I'll take your dog leg to cut watermelon." Dou Jingzhe looked away, and jumped up from the railing. He subconsciously slapped ashes on the back of his buttocks, paused with his hands, and smiled, "Sure enough, this place I can't melt into it, not even ashes."

The scene outside the window is bright and dark, and it looks small and lost under the two shadowy street lamps.One lowered his head and rode his motorcycle outside the complex, while the other walked towards the building of the complex without looking back as if he had made up his mind to break off the relationship.

The two ran in opposite directions, and in the middle was the darkness forgotten by the street lights.

When his eyes were fixed, Xu Ziqin at the bay window noticed that the dark figure downstairs was looking up at him, so frightened that he hurriedly pulled the curtains and fell into the slightly dim overhead light.

The controllable light and shade ceiling lamp in the young master's room was selected by Qin Yang himself, and Xu Ziqin usually likes the darkest light source, which seems to be the dawn light.

He doesn't like too bright, maybe it's the shadow of childhood, maybe it's just born like this.

There was no bandage in the regular medicine box at home. When Xu Ziqin stopped the bleeding with finger pressure, severe pain was transmitted from the arm to the whole body, and the shirt that was close to the body was stained dark red by the seeped blood.

When he was looking for old clothes in the closet for a simple bandage, he raised his hand a little, and he pulled the pain from the wound.

"Hiss..." Xu Ziqin clutched his wound.

His back was drenched in cold sweat, and the sweat slid down and stained the wound, causing him to almost faint from the pain.

As soon as he moved his body and carefully opened his shirt, he heard the rustling of footsteps outside the door.

Bai Jiang is back.

Xu Ziqin stepped on the slippers to go to the bathroom and locked it.Leaning his back against the door, gritting his teeth and panting peacefully, he heard footsteps approaching him, as if separated by a layer of rice paper.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The door rang three times.

"Xu Ziqin!" Bai Hua's deep voice entered the cochlea.

The young master pressed his arms, his back unconsciously slid down the side of the door, and squatted in the corner of the door, he didn't want to be seen.

When young people's self-esteem is troubled, they are the last thing they want to expose their wounds to others, just like the unforgettable nightmare when they were young, which he has kept in his heart for more than ten years.

A weak heart is unwilling to open its heart to cover everything outside.He didn't know whether he was about to face healing or to sprinkle a bag of salt on the wound.

He has long been accustomed to those bloody and bloody wounds that are difficult to heal after being torn, and it takes courage to show his true colors.

Although he looks sharp on the outside, he was injured once after all, and the imprint of the trauma is engraved deep in his soul for a lifetime, lingering, time cannot fade, it can only be deposited deeper.

"I'm fine, leave me alone." Xu Ziqin pressed his throat, as if he was biting his own arm, "Auntie and the others went to my cousin's voluntary school for the college entrance examination. If you are hungry, just cook some dumplings, or Give Aunt Sun a call."

Bai Jiang stared at it for a moment, then the knock on the door stopped abruptly.The young master stood up with difficulty, turned his head to hear the sound of the room door closing, and then turned the bathroom's self?Push the door open.

Before he could shake his head, a domineering thrust rushed in from the outside, and his body leaned back uncontrollably until it touched the sink.

The ceiling light in the bathroom was brighter than the room, and the downlight made Bai Jiang's outline clear several degrees from top to bottom.

It was the first time Xu Ziqin looked at him so closely.

Although the scar behind the ear had healed, the scar was still faintly visible under the strong light, Bai Jiang's slightly frowned eyebrows eased, and he raised his arm.

"hiss……"

"Why didn't you tell me about your hand injury?" Bai Jiang asked coldly.

The two were too close. Xu Ziqin felt that the blood flow in his whole body was not smooth. He half pushed and half moved a position: "I can't wrap a bandage. My mother will be worried when she sees it. If you ask the reason..."

He lowered his head and didn't know where to look: "I can't answer."

Bai Jiang turned his face sideways, and stroked his head, as if smoothing his hair.After a while, he climbed onto the bed and found a plastic box from the schoolbag next to the bed.

Because of his special status, he always fights with people everywhere, and he carries bandages and scissors in his bag, so he can do simple bandages.

"Raise your hand." Bai Jiang took a roll of straps, and just as he lifted his arm up, he heard the young master take a breath, and his hands trembled a few times.

"Does it hurt?" Bai Jiang stared at him, "Isn't he usually good at talking? Now he's dumb?"

The young master turned his head to the side, not wanting to catch his cowardly appearance in his eyes.

Hearing a click, the young master turned his head abruptly, and he cut a knife under his shirt, so frightened that he put his hand on it, but Bai Jiang gently shook it away.

"You were scratched by a dagger. To stop the bleeding, wrap it up for two days. If it doesn't heal, I'll send you to the hospital."

As soon as Bai Jiang finished speaking, the young master's hand circled back in disbelief, and Bai Jiang sternly shouted, "Don't move!"

Xu Ziqin: ...

He remained motionless, letting the scissors cut the shirt in the middle, and Bai Jiang carefully peeled off the shirt from both sides of his arms.

The young master was half naked, his smooth and fair skin looked even brighter and translucent under the illumination of the ceiling lamp, and Xu Ziqin's blushing face turned sideways in an instant.

Bandage, cut off excess bandage, all in one go.

When Bai Jiang's hand was walking on his arm, he seemed to touch his side abdominal muscles. The tingling sensation made him subconsciously inhale and contract several times, but Bai Jiang still held his waist with another hand to restrain him. Only then did he give up resisting.

After applying the medicine, Bai Jiang found a zippered shirt, fixed his injured hand, and helped him put it back on.

"You... just cut my 500 clothes, you have to pay me back." Xu Ziqin sat cross-legged on the bed, watching Bai Jiang climb up and down in front of him, cleaning up the mess.

The blood-stained clothes must be cleaned up, otherwise it will be easy to reveal the stuffing. Bai Jiang threw the blood-stained shirt into a plastic bag: "Then you will be in pain, and it won't be worth 500 if you sell me."

The young master naturally didn't care about the 500 yuan, he just felt that it was embarrassing for the two to say nothing.

He moved his arm a little, and after wrapping the bandage, the pain was obviously relieved, I don't know if it was an illusion.

Bai Jiang applied the medicine and wrapped the bandage very skillfully, without hurting him too much.From childhood to adulthood, except for being watched when taking a bath when I didn’t remember anything, I have also taken a bath with my cousin since then.

He hasn't been topless in front of anyone yet.

"Obviously you can just cut the sleeves, why are you cutting them all?" the young master asked with a pout.

Bai Jiang took a brown sugar plum from his schoolbag pocket, tore open the bag and put it in his mouth. The sweet and sour sugar stimulated his mouth, and the young master suddenly brightened up a little.

"By the way, I'll help you look at other injuries. Didn't you get a feather duster before?"

Bai Jiang slapped him on the thigh and smiled, "I don't like the lower body, so I didn't check it for you."

The young master's face turned crimson again, he turned around numbly, facing the wall.

The lower body has to be checked. Fortunately, he left his pants under the knife, otherwise there would be no place for the young master's thin face like a cicada's wings.

After the two of them cooked the dumplings, Wang Zhizhi returned home with his family in a hurry, chatting in the living room like a raging fire.

Which college has good teachers and a beautiful environment, even the majors with more males than females can be seen at a glance, and there is a lot of noise.

Downstairs, Wang Zijie's voice resounded: "It's great to have a major with few girls. How happy is it that all the boys in the online class give flowers to a girl for the festival!"

After Qin Ziping went upstairs to report her achievements to Xu Ziqin, she caressed the young master earnestly: "Cousin, your grades are better than mine, and you can go to a top university. Cousin, I'll just stay in the city. You go to college, and I can help you take care of your aunt."

Before closing the door and leaving, Qin Ziping glanced at Xu Ziqin meaningfully, then looked around the bedroom with burning eyes, peeled an apple for him and Bai Jiang, and whispered, "Have a good rest."

She saw that she was injured, this was the first thought that popped into Xu Ziqin's mind.

Qin Ziping grew up with him, and she is more thoughtful than her elders. She can't hide any movement of the young master from her eyes, but she is the one who keeps her mouth shut. As long as Xu Ziqin doesn't reveal any secrets, she will never let her know. Leaked from the mouth.

The end of the new year is approaching, and the taste of the year is getting stronger and stronger. The four juniors even quietly changed their usual places to eat. The young master sits between Bai Jiang and Qin Ziping, and Wang Zijie faces him.

This made my cousin deeply touched several times. He always felt that the three of them formed a clique and deliberately alienated him.

Wang Zijiao, who loves to think wildly, was very anxious. He always thought that he had bought several rounds of fake products, which completely disappointed his cousin and disliked him. On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, he went downstairs to move several boxes like a courier. The things were sent to Xu Ziqin's room in a hurry.

The young master's hand injury has begun to scab, but he still takes medicine on time every day, but luckily he didn't cut his clothes.

When his cousin delivered couriers, he really bowed his head and wrote the mock questions of the May [-]rd college entrance examination. When he was tired, he raised his head and was stunned by the couriers all over the room.

Even Bai Jiang, who was leaning against the bay window and constantly swiping his phone on WeChat, was dumbfounded.

Qin Yang also took the time to join in the fun when he was studying flower arrangement in the living room: "Zijie is bleeding a lot this year? There are so many deliveries."

Wang Zijie patted his chest and said solemnly: "Auntie, I ordered these from the official flagship store."

"The official price of these shoes is 3899, there is no discount for one point, and we support inspection." He picked up a pair of shoes and caught Xu Ziqin's eyes. Yes, I'm not even willing to wear it, isn't this an early adopter for my little cutie?"

Xu Ziqin didn't lift his eyes, just swept his hand, and looked at the question sideways: "I don't care about this brand."

The cousin saw that the young master was not happy, so he hurriedly pulled another down jacket from the floor: "This one is good! Mackage is new, but your white one is sold out, so I bought you a black one."

Wang Zijie acted like a salesman, eager to introduce all the couriers on the ground, the young master's thoughts on the problem were messed up by him, the pen in his hand flew out, and he was absent-minded.

It was Qin Yang who went out and stuffed all the couriers into the locker and locked them.Wang Zijie made sure to see a satisfied smile on Xu Ziqin's face before giving him a big hug happily, and strolled happily back to the living room to eat the durian bought by Wang Zhizhi.

The whole room smells bad, and the air freshener doesn't work well.

The group messages rang like a frying pan, Xu Ziqin stopped writing and took a look.

Group name: Qingbei Reserve Team Two;

[Be careful: I'll go!The four-eyed girl is a pervert!I just called and said that I would come to visit my house the day before Chinese New Year's Eve! 】

[Struggling:? ? 】

[Little Fairy Huang Dandan: Is she not over the age? 】

[Mustard: Congratulations, boss, for winning the jackpot. 】

[Be careful: old leftover women are really scary, if you don't have a boyfriend, just take me under the knife! 】

[Watch out: I would like to use @白草半世桃花 to let Yuelao draw a red line for her. 】

[Jiaozi: Open your dog eyes and look at the group name at the top, my cousin will do big things in the future, half a lifetime of rotten peach blossoms, don't worry about it! 】

Xu Ziqin lingered for a moment, turned on the camera, took a photo of the last real question of the National College Entrance Examination on May [-]rd, and posted it in the group.

[Scutellaria: I counted the last question three times, but the answers are all different. Can someone help me? 】

[Fei Jin: Your friend "Fei Jin" has left the group chat! 】

[Jiaozi: Your friend "Jiaozi" has left the group chat! 】

【Same as above! 】

……

It's good to be clean, the young master finished the last big problem, and while drinking water, he saw Bai Jiang staring at his phone in a daze.

Bai Jiang raised his head, Xu Ziqin lowered his head guiltily like a thief.

What the hell am I guilty of?I did something wrong again.

The young master puffed out his chest and raised his head, the phone vibrated suddenly.

【Da Ya: Home visit tomorrow night, I remember Wang Zijie and Bai Jiang living with you, right? 】

home visit?

Tomorrow is the 29th day of the twelfth lunar month, the day after tomorrow Chinese New Year.

It really is a pervert!Do you want to have a safe and peaceful Spring Festival!

The No. [-] Middle School loves to make surprise attacks, and they absolutely keep their secrets in advance. If they notify at the last minute, they will be caught off guard.

In this final exam, my cousin and Bai Jiang were one or two from the bottom of the class, and the homeroom teacher visited them personally.

What about Liu Shen?The young master was stunned.

[Huangqin: Teacher, can I see the report card of the whole class?I don't leak out. 】

The form file came, Liu Shen's class was 23, and the rest of the grades were just passable, English: 56.

Xu Ziqin probably knew the arrangement of the personnel for this home visit.

Da Ya told Xu Ziqin in advance that firstly, he asked him to restrain the two classmates who wanted to visit their homes from going out tomorrow, and secondly...

I guess I want to know about the family situation of the three. After all, it is really rare for three people to live under one roof.

What's even more bizarre is that one is the second in the class, and the other is the last in the class, so they can't delay the college entrance examination.

When Bai Jiang was sitting next to him, the young master retracted his phone, for fear that he would see the chat history.With Bai Jiang's personality, knowing that a teacher came to visit his home, he would definitely flee the battlefield early.

"Could you lend me some money? It might be a lot, I'll try my best to start school for you." When Bai Jiang raised his head, his obsidian-like eyes were so deep that they seemed to be able to absorb all light sources.

"How much do you want?" The young master didn't ask the purpose, he didn't like to inquire about gossip.

"Five thousand." Bai Jiang pursed his lips and lowered his voice. This posture was very depressing, as if he had made a long and deliberate decision.

The young master transferred five thousand from the card, Bai Jiang clicked to collect the money, raised his eyes and said, "Don't worry... I won't owe you anything."

Today is Lei Zi and Liu Dumb's engagement day.

A tent was set up in front of Leizi's house in the old city, and a dozen or so tables were gathered around the banquet.Bai Jiang didn't go, so he transferred all the 5000 yuan to Dou Jingzhe, along with the rest of the money.Playmate since childhood, he didn't want to end up hastily.

In the afternoon, there was still light rain in the sky, as if God did not agree to this marriage.

The old city is bustling with activity, and the city separated by a wall is equally bustling. It seems that everyone is giving the warmest applause to this seemingly imperfect marriage, making them survive even the bitterest and most tired.

Bai Jiang was in a bad mood all day. In the afternoon, Wang Zhizhi went back to his room in a daze without taking a few sips of the ginseng chicken soup that he specially stewed. return!"

The next words were stared back by the brothers and sisters Qin Yuan and Qin Yuan with cold eyes.

After Qin Yuan's words, Qin Yuan's heart of stone melted a lot. Bai Jiang would help him go to the factory to help unload and count the goods when he had nothing to do. Sometimes when he was too busy, he could help him guide the work alone.

A mature and experienced character suits Qin Yuan's taste very well. Qin Yuan would occasionally ask about his family's situation and subsidize his family with money. His attitude changed drastically, which shocked Wang Zijie.

Wang Zijie used to think that most of his family care was given to his cousin, but now the love left to him has slipped through his fingers and is favored by foreigners in vain.

The sense of loss that Jiu occupied the magpie's nest gradually transferred from the young master to Wang Zijie.

By the bay window, Bai Jiang leaned against the wall and looked down at the tall buildings with bank lights hanging in the distance. He thought to himself: The old street in the city connected to Huangbeizi Lane should be very lively at this time.

In the voice sent by Bai Lu, firecrackers were thundering, and the voice was inaudible, but the joy was beyond words: "Xiao Jiang, today the dumb got married, and she wore a white wedding dress, which is so beautiful. The stinging sting is here, why don't you come Take a look? After all, he is also a classmate of the ninth year of elementary school and junior high school."

He replied two words.

No time……

Behind the hustle and bustle, there are always people who cry silently, but people can't open their mouths.

When the door was pushed open from the outside, Bai Jiangcao hastily wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.The young master sat across from him, turned on the iPad to watch "Gintama".

The fighting on the screen is exciting, but the room is surprisingly cold, like an icehouse.The young master turned off the iPad, and sat on the bay window with him, watching the busy traffic outside the window.

"Do you want to go abroad? The United States, the United Kingdom, Australia, as long as it is any place abroad that sounds good."

The young master stared at him, and Bai Jiang's eyes fell on the corner of Xu Ziqin's clothes, smoothing out the wrinkles gently.

"Why do you ask that?" Bai Jiang took a breath.

go abroad?It is an extravagant wish for him to even leave the province.

What's so good about foreign countries? I'm not used to eating, I'm not used to living, and there's jet lag.

"I heard from my aunt that my cousin is going abroad, and he will leave after his third year of high school." Xu Ziqin said, "It must be hard to leave your hometown. I suddenly understand why you always sit by the window and look at Huangbeizi Lane when you are bored. Your home is there, so your heart is always there, right?"

His family has been disbanded since the day Xu Shangwan abandoned his wife and son. There is no such thing as a family, it is just a shelter in a corner.

Bai Jiang smiled, but didn't speak.

"My cousin told me that he will work hard for a year, and if he fails the exam, he will go abroad again. He doesn't want to leave here, so... If you don't want to stay in my house, I can discuss it with my mother and uncle..." Xu Ziqin wanted Stop talking.

Bai Jiangpo twirled the copper ring in her hand, as if recalling: "It was uncomfortable at first, but it's much better now. I like to listen to Kunshan opera when I'm bored, and I don't like opera too much. My mother loves to listen to it, and I played it for her for a long time. , I also heard a little bit of it.

The old man loved to chat with me when he was grinding soymilk, saying that my mother used to stay in a folk theater troupe, traveled all over the world, and toured everywhere, but later fell in love with Xu Shangwan, lost her job, and came here. "

Xu Ziqin lowered his head and thought for a moment: "The first time I saw my auntie, I thought she must have been good-looking when she was young, with exquisite facial features and a generous demeanor, she must not be able to deceive anyone."

"Let's not talk about that." Bai Jiang looked at Xu Ziqin and helped him move his injured arm.

The arm can already move up and down, and there is no serious problem, Bai Jiang said: "In the future, can you teach me to study hard?"

The young master slowly made a question mark in his mind.

Bai Jiang wants to be a good man?

He rejected it extremely in his heart, but his heart and mouth made of tofu couldn't say anything hard: "Then you have to listen to me."

"En." Bai Jiang nodded.

He thinks the young master is very good, the kind who can fully adapt.

There is no sharp edge, and occasionally there is a little cuteness when he blows his hair. He is the first person among the juniors of the Qin family to accept his existence, and he is also the one who can tell his secrets with him.

He enjoys the time with him.At this moment, Bai Jiang suddenly thought that time would stop abruptly like this, and the two sat side by side on the window sill and talked freely.

Perhaps, this is a kind of bond between brothers.
