street people

The next day, Sun Yanshi was woken up again by the chatter downstairs. He opened his sleepy eyes and glanced at his phone. It was only eight o'clock.

He muttered impatiently, "Why are you here again?", while turning over quickly, he got up and put on his T-shirt.Usually he would grind for half an hour in the bathroom in the morning, but today he was afraid that the two brats downstairs would wait too long, so he finished washing and went downstairs in 10 minutes.

With a bang, the rolling door opened, and the dazzling sunlight shone through the curtain into the store.Sun Yanshi narrowed his eyes and got used to it for two seconds, then walked out with his slippers on and built a "pergola" in front of his forehead with his hands.

There was no one outside the door, only a yellow-haired stray dog ​​squatting in the shadow of the rain, hachihachi sticking out its tongue, it was a native dog, and it looked young.

Sun Yanzhi scratched his messy hair irritably, looked around the alley a few times, but didn't even see a ghost, and said angrily: "It's so early in the morning, who the hell talks so much. "

Hearing voices upstairs just now, he took it for granted that one of them was Lang Song brother and sister, but he didn't know it was just a passerby chatting.

The stray dog ​​squatting at the door saw Sun Yanshi, stood up pitifully, and stood still, not daring to move.One person, one dog, and the other looked at each other. In the end, Sun Yan was defeated and entered the shop.After a few seconds, he came out again, squatted down and threw the peeled ham sausage in front of the dog, and said to himself: "That's right, he didn't say he was coming."

Gouzi let out a cooperative "owwow" before he lowered his head and began to eat the ham sausage.

Sun Yanshi peeled off the other sausage and put it on the ground, then patted the dog's head: "Why are you squatting at my house? Want to touch porcelain too?"

Gouzi: "Woo..."

"You're quite cooperative." Sun Yanshi snorted with a smile, rubbed the dog's head and walked into the shop.

Woke up two hours earlier than usual today, Sun Yanshi didn't know what to do for a while, the sun was shining outside, and he didn't bother to go out to buy breakfast, so he boiled a pot of water and soaked a bucket of instant noodles.

After eating the noodles, Sun Yanshi repeated the same routine.Smoking, playing games, smoking, watching movies, smoking, eating, but I don’t know if it’s because I got up too early today or something. The hour hand is pointing to 20.

He threw the phone on the counter, rubbed his face that was dried by the air-conditioning wind, leaned back in the chair decadently, closed his eyes and let himself go.

After an unknown amount of time, just as he was drowsy, the door curtain crackled.Sun Yanshi was startled awake and raised his head, only to see a boy in a black T-shirt flashing past and walking between the shelves.

Sun Yanshi's eyelids twitched, and he woke up instantly after dozing off. Is it Lang Song?How about little?He straightened his waist and took a look at the shelf. The shelf, which was as high as a person, was full of things, but he couldn't see anything.

There was a rustling sound of something being picked up inside, and Sun Yanshi was going to call out, but after thinking about it, he dismissed the idea.

Just as he was looking for his slippers with his head down, and was about to go out to take a look, the boy rushed out from the middle of the shelf with lightning speed, lifted the curtain and fled.

Sun Yanzhi was stunned for two seconds before he realized that he was a fucking thief. By the time he chased him out, the man had already run wildly to the entrance of the alley, and it was too late to chase after him.

"Fuck!"

Sun Yanshi cursed at the retreating figure, the man was skinny, he was nothing but a thief!

After chasing after him in a hurry, he didn't have time to put on his shoes. He stepped on the sun-exposed ground with his bare feet, and Sun Yanshi couldn't help hissing because of the heat.Dejected, he went back to the store to check. Two buckets of instant noodles, two bags of ham sausage and other small snacks were missing. The total loss was dozens of dollars, which was not worth the policeman's uncle wasting gas money to go there.

After this encounter, Sun Yanshi, who was already upset, was even more restless.

The small store of more than [-] square meters was crowded with several shelves and two freezers. It was difficult for two more people to come in and even turn around, but Sun Yanshi still felt empty. In fact, he was not at ease.

After silently smoking a cigarette, Sun Yanshi called his old classmate and good buddy Zheng Ye and asked him to go to the night market to eat crayfish and drink.Zheng Ye answered the phone and agreed without saying a word.

The two are classmates in high school. They have known each other for more than ten years. They have witnessed each other's most stupid years, and they have always been on call.

At night, when there was a place to go, Sun Yan immediately swept away the space as if feeling lost. Sun Yan tidied up the messed-up shelves, and decisively closed the rolling door and went upstairs to catch up on sleep.

In the evening, Sun Yanshi went to a food stall in the night market ahead of schedule and ordered four catties of crayfish and a case of beer.When Zheng Ye arrived, the crayfish had just arrived on the table, red and fragrant, making people salivate.

Zheng Ye put on disposable gloves, squeezed and peeled off the shrimp quickly and stuffed it into his mouth. After eating more than a dozen of them, he said, "Why are you asking me out for a drink all of a sudden? What's the matter?"

Sun Yanshi poured another glass of beer: "Can't I call you if I have nothing to do?"

"Of course not." Zheng Ye also poured himself a glass of beer, "It's just that every time you look for me, don't you encounter troubles?"

"When will I..." Sun Yanshi wanted to refute, but after thinking about it carefully, it seemed that it was really the case. He changed the subject, "I'm really fine this time, I just want to drink."

Zheng Ye shrugged: "Then drink it, I will risk my life to accompany the gentleman."

Zheng Ye came here after get off work, and he was still wearing a crisp suit. The temperature in August was no joke, and it was in a crowded night market.He didn't care about being polite, he took off his tie, took off his coat, and threw it on the chair next to him.

Sun Yanzhi raised his eyes and glanced: "When you go home, your wife will scold me for recruiting you again."

After a pause in the movement of his hands, Zheng Ye said helplessly: "I told her that I had dinner with my colleagues."

Zheng Ye and his wife Gan Tiantian have been in love for many years, and they didn't get married until last year. At the beginning of this year, they gave birth to a big fat boy, who is now half a year old.Zheng Ye works as an executive in a company and earns a lot of money. Gan Tiantian takes care of children at home temporarily.

Sun Yanshi has a good relationship with Zheng Ye, and naturally has a very close relationship with Gan Tiantian, but that was all in the past. Ever since Gan Tiantian knew that he was gay, although she didn't say anything about it, she has always disapproved of Zheng Ye's association with him. .

Sun Yanshi did not want to affect the relationship between the husband and wife, so he seldom asked Zheng Ye to meet. It has been more than a month since the last time they met.

Sun Yanshi suddenly felt regretful, he felt that he should not have called Zheng Ye impulsively to embarrass him.

"Drink, stop talking nonsense." Zheng Ye saw through Sun Yanzhi's thoughts at a glance. He directly picked up the beer bottle and touched the other's bottle, skipping the topic.

A box of beer was more than half empty, and both of them were a little bit drunk. Seeing that the timing was right, Zheng Ye asked cautiously, "You have been resting for more than two years, and you really don't plan to work anymore?"

Sun Yanzhi snorted and said, "When did I take a break? I open the store on time every day, 360 days a week."

Zheng Ye sighed: "You know what I mean, you can't waste yourself like this anymore."

As a friend, he sincerely felt sorry for Sun Yanshi.How high-spirited Sun Yanshi was after graduating from university. He has always firmly believed that Sun Yanshi will lead to a broader stage of life, and he will have higher achievements.But who knows, after the blow two years ago, he returned to Jiangcheng, returned to the narrow alleys, hid in a small convenience store and refused to come out again.

"I really think this is good." Sun Yanshi sighed, "When the business is good, my small shop can make a lot of money a month."

Zheng Ye put the beer bottle on the table seriously, hating iron for not being steel: "Is this a matter of money?"

"Why isn't it because of money? The prosperity of the world is for profit, and the prosperity of the world is for profit." Sun Yanzhi pretended to be deep, talking about him from left to right.

Zheng Ye took a deep breath, and for the first time in two years, he spread his words on the table: "When will you come out? Zhuo Li is already married and has children."

The fluffy words turned into a sharp dagger, which easily cut through Sun Yan's protective shell.

For the past two years, he has been hiding in the deep alley behind the glitz.No one mentioned Zhuo Li in front of him anymore, he deluded himself into thinking that he had forgotten and put it down, but the fact was that when he heard the name from someone else after two years, his heart was still beating wildly and twitching uncontrollably. pain.

"Married...have children..."

Sun Yanshi played with the beer glass and repeated Zheng Ye's words in a low voice.He was suddenly enlightened, and finally figured out that the reason why he was so anxious today was because of his child.

God made a joke with him and suddenly gave him a daughter. Yesterday he had the cheek to try the role of father, which unexpectedly made him feel happy.

I woke up from the dream today, he is such a homosexual, he will not have a wife, nor will he have a lovely daughter.He felt helpless, hopeless, and hated his ex-boyfriend, so he was restless and scurrying around like an ant on a hot pot.

Zheng Ye's original intention was to stimulate Sun Yanshi, hoping that he would cheer up, but now Sun Yanshi's state is very wrong, which makes him very worried.He stared at Sun Yanshi closely, and asked cautiously, "Yanshi, what's wrong with you?"

Sun Yanzhi pondered for a while before realizing that Zheng Ye was talking to him, and he raised his head and grinned: "I'm fine, what can I do?"

Zheng Ye knew that Sun Yanshi was not all right, but at least he could pretend to be all right on the surface. He never dared to mention Zhuo Li's matter again, and the two drank in silence.
