--Thank you--

Just because of such a close hug from the young master, Bai Jiang wandered away for another day, listless in class.

After school, Xu Ziqin received a call from Qin Yang, saying that the driver and Aunt Sun had asked for leave to visit their son in other places, and asked them to take a taxi home by themselves.

It just so happens that the young master doesn't need to hide, he can openly take Wang Zijie and Bai Jiang to eat grilled squid together.

The proprietress of the grilled squid shop has known Xu Ziqin since she was in high school, and met new classmates because the young master bought 300 yuan skewers out of his own pocket when the school started.

But in the last half month, the driver was told by Qin Yang to block people at the gate of No. [-] High School on the hour, which made Xu Ziqin even have no time for his only hobby.

"Has the taste changed?" The proprietress gave each of them a can of Coke as a gift after serving the squid. "The last time I ate it was two weeks ago."

Xu Ziqin took a mouthful of Coca-Cola and smiled: "No, there's been a lot of things lately!"

At the end of the get out of class, a lot of students gathered in twos and threes outside No. [-] Middle School to fill their stomachs with snacks. The proprietress of grilled squid greeted them and went to entertain other students.

Bai Jiang didn't seem to like eating skewers. He ate a bunch of grilled squid for a long time, but he still couldn't swallow it. His eyes kept wandering to the vendors at the school gate, as if he was thinking about something.

"The school really knows how to choose the day and do volunteer work on weekends. Isn't this blatantly squeezing our vacation time? It was pretty good last year. Volunteering on Fridays and recuperating at home on weekends after stretching, how comfortable it is!"

Wang Zi mustard skewered very fast, two skewers were stuffed into his mouth together, and soon there were sticks all around.

"I'm a sophomore in high school and still want to play? It's good to leave weekends to us, but the High School Attached to Normal University has even exploited the weekends, so just leave a Sunday afternoon for free activities, you can be content." Xu Ziqin sighed.

At this time, Fei Jin ran out from the school gate, put his arms around the young master, and bit his hand?squid……

During this period of time, Fei Jin became obsessed with traveling alone, eating in the cafeteria at noon, and having to be alone after school, saying that he should cultivate the habit of living independently.

Because of the poor grades, Fei Jin’s parents took the same measures for their son as Wang Zhizhi did. If the grades cannot be improved within a year, they will be sent abroad. I heard that even the university has been selected. As long as the money is enough, the grades are not a problem. .

Fei Jin knew that it was impossible for him to work hard for a semester, so he might as well plan his life after going abroad in advance.

After expressing emotion to the young master and Wang Zijiao at the barbecue stand, he left in a depressed mood, like a psycho who just came out of a nursing home.

After everyone came back to their senses, the melancholy Wen Qing had already finished eating the skewers. The young master turned his head and glanced at the silent Bai Jiang, and... the squid skewers he hadn't finished chewing for a long time.

"The squid should be hot, it will be fishy when it cools." The young master snatched the squid skewer from his hand, and inserted the squid skewer from his own hand into his hand.

Bai Jiang turned around, he was thinking about something again, he didn't lower his head, the young master was chewing on the squid skewers in his hands with great relish.

Wang Zijiao, who finished a can of Coke in one go, was dumbfounded. He stared at Bai Jiang again and again. After a while, he lowered his head and stared at the squid skewers in his hand. My cousin bit the skewer that I ate..."

Xu Ziqin was stunned.

He just wanted to give him a bunch of hot ones, but the freshly baked ones on the plate were all eaten up with effort, so he didn't think much, and gave away the ones he was holding.

"Then..." The young master was a little anxious, and grabbed his wrist, "I'll ask the boss to bake some more."

"It's delicious." Bai Jiang finished the skewer in one bite, and chewed it leisurely, without any disgust.

Now Wang Zijie swallowed his saliva. Although he usually loves his cousin very much, he never oversteps matters of principle.The first thing to do is not to eat what other people have eaten.

The young master changed the subject and stared at his cousin: "I just took a bite, I'm very clean."

I don't know if Bai Jiang listened to the young master's words. While the two cousins ​​were chatting and playing, he turned his head and looked at the vendors at the school gate, with inexplicable sadness in his eyes.

That location is probably where old man Xu set up his stall. The young master thought that when Bai Jiang first arrived, he bought old man Xu’s fritters at the school gate. After leaving them in his desk pocket for too long, they became soft and cold, so he threw them in the trash. In the barrel, because of this incident, Bai Jiang punched him several times.

This is all a matter of last semester, but the young master always feels it vividly.

"Is your grandpa unable to set up a stall?" The young master guessed roughly.

"Yeah." Bai Jiang nodded, "Last semester, a few students from No. [-] Middle School reported that they had diarrhea after eating, and the parents of the students found a group of people to smash up the stall.

I was in class at the time and I didn't know it yet.I also overheard it during Chinese New Year when my mother and grandpa were chatting. "

Xu Ziqin slapped the table with a slap, causing the Coke can to shake: "It's too wicked! How can you smash the stall? Diarrhea doesn't necessarily mean that the fritters your grandfather sells are not clean. Students eat too much now, maybe it's I didn’t dare to tell my parents what junk food I ate, and I found your grandpa when I had no place to vent my anger, because your grandpa is an old man who is easy to bully!”

"That's it!" Wang Zijie shared the same hatred, "Although I haven't eaten it, I trust my cousin!"

"That...cousin, let me tell you something!" Xu Ziqin quietly leaned into Wang Zijie's ear, "The first time I bought fried dough sticks, they were so dark that they didn't feel clean."

Bai Jiang: ...

Bai Jiang's knife-like eyes gouged him out, scaring the young master like a quail with its neck shrunken.

Bai Jiang heaved a sigh of relief, he thought that the young master would give him a mouthful to help him fight the injustice, but he didn't expect to sell him in front of his cousin in a blink of an eye.

It's that he thinks too much.

"Xu Ziqin." Bai Jiang took a sip of his soda, and the resolute words made the young master swallow.

He could only scratch his head in embarrassment, and let out an ah.

"The oil my grandfather uses to fry fried dough sticks is all the vegetable oil I bought in barrels, and I change it every day."

He was patient, "As for what you said about whether it is black or not, it is because the pot has been used for a long time and the oil stains are sticky, and it can't be cleaned. That is the problem of the pot, not the oil."

His righteous words made the young master feel that he was going to confront him face to face in the next second.

After looking at each other in dismay with his cousin, the two hurriedly nodded their heads like rattles, for fear that the boss would get mad.

"Then... would it be better if you opened a breakfast restaurant for your grandfather without having to set up a stall?" Xu Ziqin said, "When the food business license is approved, I don't believe anyone will dare to say it's unhygienic."

Hearing the ear-piercing sound of a chair rubbing against the ground, Bai Jiang stood up and threw the Coke can into the trash can.

Walking out without looking back, the young master and his cousin looked at each other and hurriedly followed.

Xu Ziqin scolded himself in his heart for doing something bad with good intentions.

Wasn't what I just said just a joke that his family is poor, can I help him if I have money?

After dinner, the young master quickly finished his homework, and used the extra time to complete several sets of small exercises.

Neither of them did any of the exercises that Yuan Xiao bought for his cousin and Bai Jiang.Xu Ziqin felt that to him, those things were squinting and writing, but the foundation of these two people was really far from the sky. They usually even finish the homework assignments slowly, and want to add more extracurricular exercises?

It's he who thinks too much.

The weather turned hot, and the air conditioner at home was turned on 24 hours a day. The young master finished tutoring the homework of these two great gods as usual, and went downstairs with great interest to hug a large slice of iced watermelon, and ate it with a spoon.

His cousin Wang Zijie retreated to the room to memorize the text. Tomorrow's Chinese model test, Da Ya told him that if he deducted more than two points for filling in the blanks this time, he would be left to memorize the text in the study room for half an hour every night.

Because of these words, the prince had to hang his head on the beam and stab his ass, and he didn't need his cousin to rush after finishing his homework, so he went back to his room.

From the next room came the sound of Prince Mustard reciting texts like killing a pig.

The young master scooped up a spoonful of watermelon, and pointed like a teacher: "The lord, this is the adverbial clause of time guided by Assoonas!"

Bai Jiang marked the answer A and changed it to C. Xu Ziqin was dumbfounded and put the watermelon on the table.

Even ice watermelon can't suppress anger.

"The past tense of cost is cost, there is no costed, this is AAA type, and it is different from ordinary words ending in t!"

Bai Jiang had no choice but to cross out C again and change it to A. After a while, he realized that his original answer was A, and looked up at Xu Ziqin: "I chose A before."

"I know." Xu Ziqin scooped up a spoonful of watermelon and stuffed it into his mouth, "I'm telling you, cost in this context is the past and future tense, not the simple present tense."

Bai Jiang: ...

This person is playing him!Bai Jiang knew it well.

He slapped the table and took the watermelon that the young master had just scooped into his mouth. The young master's hand softened, and the watermelon almost fell to the ground.Bai Jiang smiled, took the watermelon from his hand, and laid it flat on the table.

His throat rolled, and although the air conditioner was blowing, his whole body was extremely hot.

The young master's heart was beating very fast, he hurriedly turned his head to the side, not daring to look into his eyes.The corners of Bai Jiang's mouth raised slightly, he took out his mobile phone from his pocket, and shook it in front of him.

The speed was too fast, I didn't see it clearly, I only saw Dou Jingzhe vaguely written on the chat interface.

Bai lowered his head, returned a few words of news, and went downstairs with his arms around the young master. In the living room, Qin Yang was still yelling for them to come back early.

It's past eight o'clock, but the sky is still not dark.

After leaving the community, the heat is overflowing, as if entering a steamer.The young master is afraid of the cold in winter and the heat in summer, he is sweating profusely after walking two steps, and wants to buy popsicles.

Bai Jiang didn't take him back, but gave him two popsicles, or the kind of crushed ice one by one.

This thing was eaten by Wang Zijie when he was teasing him when he was a child. Now that he is 17, he doesn't like this kind of thing.

He reached out to get Haagen-Dazs on the inner side of the refrigerator, but Bai Jiang slapped his hand back.

"Boss, this is what I want!"

So, the young master sucked the crushed ice angrily, and was walked out of the community by Bai Jiang's arms.

Behind the community is the city park. In the center of the square, a group of old men and women are dancing in the square, all of them twisting their backs quite neatly.

Passing by the square and the artificial lake, the two finally settled on a lawn that wasn't too big but had few people.

Xu Ziqin glanced around.

"Why? If you're going for a walk, I'll ask Mrs. Jin for a Shiba Inu." Xu Ziqin took a sip of the crushed ice, which tasted like lychee, like a childhood feeling.

"Don't slip away today!" Bai Jiang took out his phone to take a picture of the young master, and flew out.

Xu Ziqin was dumbfounded: "Why are you photographing me?"

"Find a seat!" Bai Jiang pointed his phone at him, "I'm afraid that Dou Jingzhe won't find a place when he comes over."

Dou Jingzhe also has its own GPS positioning, no, it has been changed to Beidou satellite positioning.

Five minutes later, he appeared in front of the two of them holding a basketball. Bai Jiang broke another piece of crushed ice into two pieces, gave the short one to Dou Jingzhe, and sucked the long one himself.

As soon as the young master bit a whole one, Dou Jingzhe felt that he had been treated unfairly: "Brother Jiang, you are too mean, aren't you willing to buy me a whole piece of crushed ice for this dollar? You still ask me to practice with you all the way? You really think I have a good temper, don't you?"

What a big deal, the young master muttered, it was just a broken piece of ice.

The young master said: "I'll send you a box of each flavor another day, and let the courier send it to your home to freeze in the refrigerator, okay?"

Dou Jingzhe is also a talent, as expected, like attracts likes and divides into groups, with the same virtue as Bai Jiang, a few shards of ice can coax people into a daze.

Dou Jingzhe threw the basketball away, Bai Jiang jumped to catch the basketball, and winked at the young master, Xu Ziqin sucked up the crushed ice in three mouthfuls, and rushed over obediently like a puppy.

Bai Jiang actually knew how to take care of the young master's self-esteem. He knew that it was not good to be seen by many people, so he chose a position with few people. It was going to be dark soon, and the timing was just right.

It was too bright and there were many people watching.It was completely dark, and I couldn't see the shot clearly.

Start with the most basic dribble, open your legs, lean your knees forward, make sure you are not in a hurry when dribbling, and protect the ball with the other hand.

The young master has a good brain, and he can remember the essentials of movements very well. It didn't take long for him to be able to dribble the ball proficiently and standardly.

In order to best allow the young master to pass and shoot the ball, Bai Jiang put his arms around his lower back and analyzed the movements step by step until he made a shot and went into the basket.

"Not bad!" Bai Jiang stroked his head, "You practice first, be careful not to hurt your back."

Xu Ziqin was fascinated as soon as he played, completely forgot about it, and went to practice alone with the ball.

Bai Jiang was sitting on the bench, and Dou Jingzhe beside him was fascinated by the back of Xu Ziqin playing.

"The young master is very talented, he didn't know how to play before?" Dou Jingzhe obviously found it incredible, and wanted to ask specifically.

"Yeah." Bai Jiang nodded, staring at Xu Ziqin with great interest, "It's because he was in poor health when he was young and couldn't exercise vigorously."

"Listen to him!" Dou Jingzhe smiled, "Then still learn Taekwondo?"

Bai Jiang's face darkened. He didn't want to say anything about the reason why Xu Ziqin learned Taekwondo. After thinking for a moment, he gave him a glare.

"What's wrong? Can't you ask?" Dou Jingzhe smiled.

Bai Jiang said: "You swallow this matter, don't let him hear it."

"Yo!" Dou Jingzhe didn't know, and went in, "Is there a connection?"

He is also a knowledgeable person, knowing that the other party is not happy, so he naturally didn't ask too much, and changed the subject: "Your brother, it's very funny, just like a little kid, and it turns out that the children of rich people are very well protected gone."

"Don't you think... high school students should be like that?"

Bai Jiang smiled, holding the bench with both hands, "Carefree, every day besides playing is studying, my grandpa has a saying that is quite right, some thoughts are deeply ingrained, in Huangbeizi Lane, he is the only one who wants to I'm at ease."

"Brother Jiang!" Dou Jingzhe was stunned, "You have changed, we used to not talk about these things in class together."

"Maybe." Bai Jiang smiled and applauded Xu Ziqin, "Meeting him, my mentality has changed. I used to be nosy, but in order to help him, I would do stupid things. Do you understand? Lifeless It is a kind of happiness to have a lively and cheerful person breaking through the world."

"I don't understand." Dou Jingzhe patted his arms a few times, and the mosquitoes flew around, biting several bags on his hands.

"This weekend, my father's courier company is going to send a batch of goods to the neighboring city, 3000 yuan, what do you think?"

3000 yuan is not a small amount for Bai Jiang.

It can be worth half a year's rent at home, and can save a lot of expenses.Moreover, Bai Lu's condition had just been relieved, and he didn't want her condition to worsen due to lack of money.

Xu Ziqin threw a ball in and roared excitedly.

The voice came back to Bai Jiang's ears, he trembled a few times unconsciously, and after thinking about it, he clenched his fists.

"Go." Bai Jiang nodded in agreement, got up, "I'll go see Xu Ziqin."

The young master took a few deep breaths, Bai Jiang bought a bottle of water and handed it to him, he gulped down a few mouthfuls, and he was in a good mood: "It's so refreshing, I feel that my 17 years of life have been wasted after playing the game."

Back home, the young master stripped off his clothes and took a shower.

The hair was still dripping water one by one, the cheeks and the roots of the ears were filled with pink, Bai Jiang's eyes were straightened, and he stared at it several times before shaking over.

"Go down and play basketball every week from now on." Xu Ziqin took a sip of ice water, "Don't worry, I will teach you how to study in the future, this is our agreement. When I learn to play well, I will surprise my cousin!"

"En." Bai Jiang nodded.

The cooling breath of the air conditioner floated in my ears, accompanied by the faint noise outside the window, making the room surprisingly quiet.

When the young master was wiping his hair with a towel, Bai Jiang got up suddenly, walked around behind him, and wiped it carefully for him.

It seemed that at this moment, it was so quiet that the beating of the heart could be heard.

"Brother, can you teach me how to play basketball and open a breakfast shop for your grandpa?"

Xu Ziqin couldn't stop thinking about today's events. He obviously felt Bai Jiang's hand paused, and his expression changed slightly. He hurriedly changed his method, "Even if I lent it to you, I will go to your grandpa every day from now on. If you eat breakfast at the breakfast shop, the money will be deducted from the fund, it's not free, okay?"

"Xu Ziqin..." Bai Jiang's voice was very cold, which made it hard for the young master to accept.

"I didn't mean it today. I didn't mean to say that. I just wanted to help you grandpa."

Xu Ziqin stammered, "No matter what, I'm your grandpa's grandson, right? I also want to contribute."

"Thank you." Bai Jiang put his arms around his waist and whispered in his ear.
