"How long have you been here?" asked Ah Wei one day before leaving the classroom.

"Ten years. ”

"Ten years...... Maybe a lot of things have changed. ”

The pen in the hand of the struggling man paused for a moment......

As a ghost, he could easily penetrate the house, but the boy stopped in place. Gradually, his body changed: from a teenager in uniform to a middle-aged man in his forties, but the ghost in front of him was much thinner than the struggling man.

Ah Wei didn't know what the struggle man saw, but from a distance, he found that the middle-aged struggle man became more and more blurred, and finally disappeared.

Since then, there has been nothing between him and Nana.

Mid-Dream ......

As Nana said, Xiaobai took the initiative to invite Ah Wei to lunch soon after. With Nana's encouragement, Ah Wei arranged a date for two consecutive weekends, and Xiaobai gladly accepted.

In a small town, all they can do is watch movies and visit the shopping streets. But before they knew it, the two were as close as a couple.

"Eh, it's really that powerful?!" Xiaobai put his arm around Ah Wei, half-convinced. Around her, there were many male ghosts, all with shiny eyes, staring at Xiaobai.

Ah Wei, who is accustomed to seeing ghosts, opened one eye and closed one eye, "It's true, the basketball court will be ours from then on." ”

He was talking about middle school, and it would be dark not long after school in the fall. The soccer team trains indoors, after all, there are also two goals indoors. But then the people in the basketball club are not happy.

"Hey, you're in the way!" Seeing that the senior football players had returned, the head of the basketball department put on an extremely ugly face at Ah Wei.

"I'm sorry. The boy respectfully apologized, but in fact, this space was meant to be shared, "By the way, we can use each other as obstacles." With that, he easily took the ball and walked around the two men who were playing.

Ah Wei's easing of the atmosphere made the minister feel that he was being looked down upon by the junior students, and he threw the basketball to the ground.

Boom !!

A loud bang echoed through the stadium.

The other football players retreated to the sidelines in fright, but Ah Wei was not to be outdone. He fired the ball into the goal from 20 yards out, and although there was no big movement, it also gave the opponent enough intimidation.

"Forget it, forget it. ”

"Ah Wei, let's go. People on both sides came up to persuade peace, but both of them were full of energy, and in the end, Ah Wei's proposal stunned everyone.

"Right here, we're ahead of the basket. He stood on the half-court line of the basketball court and said with a slight defiance.

The minister observed Ah Wei's thin arm and smiled disdainfully, "Don't blame me for bullying you. ”

"Those who lose, don't come to this venue after school. ”

The basketball minister had this intention, but the opponent's look of winning made him swallow his saliva, after all, the distance was there, and he was not completely sure.

Sure enough, the minister's first three balls didn't touch the basket.

"There's no problem with this ball, right?" the boy straightened the ball, didn't run too far, and picked up the ball lightly on his toes without losing his strength. But in the eyes of the layman, Ah Wei seems to have shot an anti-aircraft gun.

"It's outrageous, hahaha!"

"Fool, look at the parabola. The member who laughed loudly was smacked on the ribs by his companion. Sure enough, the boy's first ball fell against the frame, and the Nets fluttered slightly.

Finally, on the fourth attempt, the ball hollowed into the basket......

I don't know if I remembered the number of times wrong, or if I thought that 4 times was a bit much, the teenager claimed to Xiaobai that he only kicked three times and scored.

"Sometimes it feels like you're bragging. The girl's words made Ah Wei shiver, "Who told you to brag about your heroic achievements every day but never play football." Only then did Xiaobai notice that the young man's face was already pale.

"Huh. "Obfuscating the past with a giggle has become a must-have skill for Ah Wei.

"But I believe you, after all, I also saw the game clearly, that shot ......" said Xiaobai also stretched his legs and put on a stance, "Pong!"

"Haha. ”

"You were the first to score goals for our school. ”

"Really?" the boy pretended to be surprised, but in fact, he also knew that his name had been printed on the scorer list on the sidelines: Ah Wei Qiu.

"You look good in a clerk's uniform, but you look better when you're playing. Xiaobai's praise made Ah Wei a little fluttering.

"Again?"

"Bad feet. ”

"Just one game. ”

"Don't, don't. "The two walked hand in hand on the streets of the town, talking words that were not nutritious, and they didn't know where the final destination would be......

A school in the city was invited to participate in the warm-up game in Inuyama, and the news that it can play two warm-up games a year exploded in the school.

"Will the Great God come to the race?"

"It is said that Ah Wei put in it, and it is possible to score three or five goals against them!"

Of course, Inuyama's captain Tie Zha knows the importance of this star player, and now Inuyama has no shortage of players, but there is only one core missing.

On the other hand, the teenager is already outside the school.

"Is that okay?"

"Don't look up!"

Ah Wei turned out of the campus lightly, but for Xiaobai, such a move can be said to be unheard of, "Pick me up." ”

In fact, long before the start, the boy planned to run away, and poor Xiaobai, who was his girlfriend, also suffered with him, "I'm sorry." ”

"It's okay. Xiaobai grabbed her boyfriend's arm, although she had seen the scenery countless times in front of her, but at this time on weekdays, it was the first time for both of them to go out like this.

"It doesn't feel like usual. ”

"yes. "Along the way, there are mostly some aunts and uncles.

"Your grandson can walk on his own?!" Seeing a pair of aunts discussing family affairs on the road, the two high school students felt particularly novel.

"Is there anyone in your house?" asked Xiaobai softly.

"Huh?" the young man laughed out loud, "It's funny every time you're scared." Xiaobai, who is close to each other, often feels violent twitching.

"Mom and Dad aren't here, are they?"

"Well, Daddy isn't here. ”

My father left the house at 5 a.m. every morning and didn't come home until 5 p.m. It seems like it was like this a long time ago.

"Dad?" Xiaobai seemed to say, what about Mom?

"Ah, it's not there, there's no one at home. ”

"I'd like to visit your house, can I?"

"It can be, it's just not that clean. Ah Wei thought about it carefully, and the house was not so dirty that he couldn't bring his girlfriend to visit.

When he entered the room, he was surprised to find that his father was still at home!

"Eh, why did you come back today?"

The boy wanted to question his father the same question, but he sat on the sofa watching the video of the game, but there was not a single can of beer on the table.

Uncle interrupted. Xiaobai sorted out his emotions and greeted the other party.

"Stupid, he didn't even see you. Ah Wei whispered, his words full of reproach.

"Ah......" Father got up from the couch a little embarrassed, "I'm sorry I didn't see you." With that, he staggered to the kitchen, "You guys sit ......down first," he opened the refrigerator, as if trying to find something to entertain Xiaobai.

"There's nothing at home, which makes you smile. ”

"No, I didn't inform my uncle and came to visit, I'm sorry. Xiaobai politely apologized.

"Well, you wait a minute, I'll go buy something. My father put on his coat and left the door, leaving the room alone with the announcer announcing a game that no one was watching.

When the TV was turned off, the boy noticed his father's wallet on the couch. He shook his head, thinking that his father would come back in a hurry and say, "Look at my memory." ”

However, after a long time, my father did not return. When he was bored, Ah Wei opened his shriveled wallet, and there was not a single banknote in it.

"I'm sorry. I really want to do something superfluous. Seeing that it was getting dark, Xiaobai sat on the chair and could cry at any time.

"I'll take you home. ”

"But my uncle said he was going to entertain us. ”

"He just sent a message saying that there was something else going on and that he wasn't coming back. ”

At that time, the boy's hunch became a reality......

Now, Ah Wei is really the only one left in the whole house, who is standing in front of the TV, waiting for the game after the sports news. For him now, only sports channels are truly safe.

I recall a time when my father's favorite team was playing really badly, and he drank several beers during the game. My father couldn't drink, and occasionally drank a can in the middle of the pitch just to keep himself from falling asleep.

At that time, my father was crying profusely, and he did not look manly at all.

He spoke intermittently for a long time, which was nothing more than his three wishes:

I can grow up healthy in early summer.

I can find time to watch my son play a game.

"Even if the first two wishes don't come true, I want to see a good game that I can forget...... Ahem...... "My father was so emotional that he couldn't stop coughing because he was choking on alcohol," what kind of ball was kicked...... Xiaowei, you played better than all of them. ”

The father, who was busy making ends meet, could hardly say a few words to his son, who had at least been able to learn about his son's condition through his sick daughter......

"My brother is now the main striker of the football team. ”

"Remarkable. ”

"Well, my brother still often completes hat tricks!" I didn't understand why scoring three goals was called a hat trick in the early summer, but after listening to Ah Wei, she could say it naturally.

"I really want to see Xiaowei playing. ”

......

One night near the end of the holiday, Xiaobai secretly escaped.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. After that incident, the most Xiaobai said was "I'm sorry".

"It's not your fault. ”

Starting tomorrow, Xiaobai will leave the town and go to live in a distant big city. In fact, this matter had spread throughout Inuyama Middle School as early as when he entered the school, but the news that Ah Wei thought was insignificant at that time now had a huge impact on him.

The next morning, the boy stood on the platform, and there were a dozen or so ghosts on the platform, watching the train depart in loneliness......

As expected, Ah Wei saw Xiaobai for the last time.

And then what

The boy wanted to be one of the ghosts, not eating or drinking, but staying here until the day she returned......

Liu Wei was lying on the bed, his body trembling. Sakura knelt on the yoga mat, her hands lying on the edge of the bed, and when she noticed the movement, the girl opened her eyes and gently soothed her little arms exposed outside the quilt.

Don't be sad, don't be sad......

The girl guessed that Liu Wei was having a nightmare, not terrible, but suffocating.
