The moment she looked back and smiled, the world seemed to have light.

When Zhang Xiaoli went out with steamed buns and pickles in his mouth in the morning, his eyes seemed to inadvertently glance at the door of Chengzimu's house next door, his bright eyes turned, the heavy red wooden door was closed tightly, and there were neat and various kinds of vegetables planted on both sides of the door, she quickly picked a few green vegetable leaves, and quickly cleaned them with the water hose at the door of her house。

When Cheng Zimu pushed open the door, he looked at Zhang Xiaoli not far in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the early morning, the town of Ome is peaceful and calm, the sun shines on the crooked path, the grass on the side of the road is swaying, and the warm atmosphere of the upcoming spring day makes people feel that the time is very beautiful.

In front, Zhang Xiaoli, who was wearing a white sweater jacket, a white school uniform, and black plaid shorts, walked in the sun, his tied ponytail swayed, and behind him, Cheng Zimu was wearing a white shirt, black slacks, and a black tweed jacket, slowly following behind, and the breeze blew his oblique bangs, revealing a handsome and delicate face.

The pedestrians who gathered early on the side of the road came and went in a hurry, and Xiao Li turned around and showed a warm and bright smile to the old man who passed by on the side of the road.

Cheng Zimu stood not far behind him, looking at her quietly, he felt that the moment she looked back and smiled, the world seemed to be bright

Zhang Xiaoli hummed a little song all the way to the school gate, and Cheng Zimu behind him watched her walk into the campus, turned around and walked to the opposite side of the road to buy bread and milk, and walked into the campus with it.

Xiao Li walked into the class and sat down, and her best friends Qu Qing and Xing Mo immediately surrounded her, and asked while pulling her schoolbag, "Xiao Li, why didn't you come to school with Cheng Zimu today?"

Qu Qing took out two cartons of milk from her schoolbag, handed one bottle to Xing Mo, opened the other bottle herself, and asked while drinking.

"Why do I have to come to school with him, it's not that I don't know the way. Xiao Li said in an unhappy tone

"Come on, the green vegetable leaves in your steamed bun, do you dare to say that they weren't picked at his doorstep?" Qu Qing said with a look of disdain, Xing Mo was introverted, bowed his head and snickered.

"You two, go back to your seat after drinking milk, strange, come to me every day to ask for milk, how poor the family is, go away, it's almost class. Xiao Li waved his hand and muttered dissatisfiedly, his face full of unhappiness but with a hint of pampering.

"Quarreled?" Xing Mo asked in a low voice.

"It's okay, a little fight, a common thing for a small couple, it'll be fine in a few days, go for a walk, ignore her. Qu Qing smiled and hooked Xing Mo away.

Xiao Li raised his hand, and a book was thrown at the two of them, Qu Qing pulled Xing Mo to jump, dodged, and the "pop" book fell to the ground, Xiao Li looked, and a pair of white casual sneakers appeared in front of him.

Cheng Zimu looked at the books on the ground, and then looked at Xiaoli who was grinning at Qu Qing, and walked over expressionlessly, with a pair of feet, stepping on the books, leaving two shallow footprints.

Xiao Liyan stood up, picked up the book, turned around, threw it hard, and the book smashed Cheng Zimu's back.

"Cheng Zimu, you deliberately, deliberately stepped on my book!".

Cheng Zimu didn't turn around, nor did he turn around to quarrel with her as before, quarrel, and said sorry lightly, so he sat in his seat and ate breakfast by himself.

Xiao Li didn't want to continue to ask and play as relentlessly as before, he glanced at him fiercely, and suddenly, as if deflated, he picked up the lost books and sat back in his place.

Qu Qing and Xing Mo on the side looked at each other, this is, really quarreled?

The class bell rang, the classroom was quiet, only the teacher's clear voice sounded, Xiao Li seemed to inadvertently look at Cheng Zimu on the right behind him, he didn't look at the teacher, his eyes seemed to be looking out of the window, his eyes were deep and dark, and he couldn't see what he was thinking.

Xiao Li lowered her head and bit her lip tightly, the words on the book seemed to become blurry, and she couldn't see what was written, and all morning, no matter how Qu Qing and Xing Mo played and laughed at her, she didn't leak a smile again

This is not like the usual Xiaoli at all, she should be lively and cheerful, even a little crazy, the kind of three people who can overturn the classroom together, Cheng Zimu is the student president of the school, and he is also a figure admired by many people, his father and grandfather are both soldiers, Cheng Zimu has been exercising since he was a child, he fights very well, he studies well, and he is a perfect school grass.

Both of them are people who love to fight and make trouble, but today, it's abnormal, it's too abnormal.

Something is wrong, it's so wrong, how can people change their sex after a Sunday?

The bell rings after school, the school gate is crowded with parents who pick up students, it is already the second semester of the third year of junior high school, every parent hopes that their children can be admitted to key high schools, and more hope to get out of Qingmei Town, go to a bigger city to study, and get ahead.

The only high school in Qingmei Town is Tianlan High School, which has been hundreds of years old and is the most sacred existence in Qingmei Town.

Out of the school gate, Qu Qing and Xing Mo were picked up by their respective mothers, and Xiaoli and Cheng Zimu walked home without stopping.

The two walked on both sides of the street, deliberately not looking at each other. Yes, no one will pick them up, Cheng Zimu's parents are not at home all the year round, his grandfather is not in good health, and his grandmother takes care of the housework alone.

Xiaoli has no mother since he was a child, and his father is the police chief of the town, and he is busy with work every day, and he has no time.

To talk about the origin of the two families, Cheng Zimu was five years old, the whole family moved to Qingmei Town, after moving here, lived next to Xiao Li's house, which was also the first family in the town to build a high-rise building, Xiao Li was gnawing on apples at that time and squatting at the gate of his house to watch the busy people in the yard, looking at those people moving neatly, walking posture is very strange, the same as his father, that is the characteristics of soldiers.

Later, I learned that Xiaoli's father and Cheng Zimu's father were comrades-in-arms, but Xiaoli's father retired early and came to the town to settle down and become a policeman.

After everything settled, Xiao Li rarely saw Cheng Zimu's parents, I remember that at the beginning, Cheng Zimu's mother kindly pulled Xiao Li to Cheng Zimu in a cool white shirt to ask the two to be good friends, Xiao Li wiped the sand on his clothes casually, smiled and pulled Cheng Zimu's hands, Cheng Zimu gently held her hand with a disgusted and awkward face.

Later, Cheng Zimu transferred to Xiaoli's kindergarten and spent the last year of kindergarten, and after that year, the two established a deep friendship, or rather, a noisy friendship.

Cheng Zimu loves to be clean, the time arrangement is very regular, not bad, but Xiaoli procrastinates, loses everything, and plays dirty all day long, and the two often quarrel about this. Cheng Zimu's grandparents liked this little girl who loved to laugh very much, that is, from that time on, Cheng Zimu's family became Xiaoli's second home, and when her father was away, she mostly lived in Cheng Zimu's house.

The two are real and have become childhood sweethearts.

Unconsciously walked to the door of the house, Chengzi Mu crossed the gate of Xiao Li's house without looking back, walked into his yard, closed the gate, Xiao Li looked at his back, and secretly gritted his teeth in his heart, "Let you pretend, see when you pretend." Then with a wave of his hand, he grabbed a handful of things and entered the house.

After closing the door, Cheng Zimu heard the sound of Xiaoli closing the door, quietly opened the gate of the yard, looked at the closed red gate, and looked at the green vegetables at the door of his house.

The few greens left at the door swayed gently in the breeze, the clouds were faint, the willows were green, and although the noon sun was not very warm, it would always warm someone's young heart.

As soon as Xiao Li put the food hot on the round table in the center of the courtyard, the door was pushed open, and his father Zhang Tiancheng walked in with a cart, and Xiao Li saw the bandages wrapped around his father's arms at a glance, his sleeves were rolled up, and his shoulders were covered with dust.

She quickly put down the dishes and chopsticks, and anxiously went over to help her father sit down, "Dad, are you going to arrest someone again?"

"Hey, it's okay, a little injury, I'll follow, don't worry. The father said indifferently.

"You're the director, these little things don't use you at all, why do you desperately go with them to arrest people every time. Xiao Li said with disgust, and as he spoke, he took the basin and towel out and handed them to him.

"You know Dad, I can't be idle, besides, here, there are already so many policemen, I'm the chief, worry more about it, it's nothing. The father smiled faintly, and there was a little warmth on his serious face, and he bent down and began to wash his face.

Xiao Li looked at his father's bent waist, shook his head helplessly, turned around and set up the dishes and chopsticks, and waited for him to have lunch together.

"Why haven't you seen Xiaomu come to our house in the past two days, the fruit I sent from the bureau before for you to send next door, why am I still there this morning?"

"People are young masters, and this is not uncommon for us to have a little fruit, and the vegetables they eat are organic vegetables grown with high-grade seeds, so why should I bother myself. Xiao Li bit the potato in his mouth fiercely, and said in a weird manner.

"Quarreled?" Dad Zhang asked casually, as if he had long been accustomed to it.

In fact, the people around know that Cheng Zimu and Xiaoli have fought almost all the way from childhood to adulthood, a small quarrel in two days, a big quarrel in three days, and sometimes hands-on, both of them have insisted on exercising since childhood, followed Xiaoli's father to learn kung fu, the body has been strong since childhood, Xiaoli has a hot temper, and is easy to be impulsive in case of trouble, at the beginning, everyone thought that the two would be more and more fierce, but on the contrary, the relationship between the two is getting better and better, although in the eyes of outsiders, the two are ruthless, but in fact, Zhang's father can see that if one of them is really bullied, the other is really trying his best to protect the short, so for Xiaoli's tone just now, he is not surprised。

"Dad, what do you think of your daughter and me. Xiao Li suddenly put down the dishes and chopsticks, stared at Dad Zhang very seriously and asked.

"Impatient, noisy, but brainy, all day long, just thinking about climbing high and low crazy play, you will not be ready to give me the school countdown after graduating from junior high school. Dad Zhang didn't raise his eyelids, and said coldly.

"Hey, Director Zhang, I'm your own daughter, won't you talk about my merits, don't you take you so shocking. Xiao Li exclaimed angrily.

"Well,,, the dish is well fried. Dad Zhang stopped his chopsticks, thought seriously for a long time, and said seriously

"You, okay, okay, you can hit me as much as you want, anyway, I'm just a poor little cook, when I finish the exam, I really don't do well, don't blame me, hum!" Xiao Li snorted coldly, patted his buttocks, turned around and walked away.

"Wait, send the fruit over. Dad Zhang looked up and said.

"Don't send it, you have to send it yourself, I'm going to school, and at noon today, you brush the dishes, it's hard work, Comrade Director. Xiao Li tilted his head and hummed, turned around and went into the room to get his school bag.

Passing by the living room, I saw the wall above the TV in the center, a clean and bright photo frame hung there, in the photo frame, my father was wearing a military uniform, performing a military salute, his expression was serious but proud, Xiao Li turned his head to look out of the door, his father still bowed his head to eat, under the sun, his back was bent, the bandage on his arm, did not affect the speed of his meal at all, turned his head, looked at the photo in the frame, Xiao Li did not move for a long time, she understood why her father, as the director of the bureau, had to arrest people in person, he was used to it, he was a soldier, born with his own battlefield, sitting in the office, in fact, for him, it was a torment。

Say goodbye to her former comrades-in-arms, leave the former army, for her father's early retirement, Xiaoli has never dared to ask, she has seen her father more than once secretly standing in front of the mirror in the room at night with his military uniform in a daze, his eyes are full of pain and reluctance, Xiaoli has never seen his father in a military uniform, she has retired since she can remember her father in Qingmei Town, she has seen Cheng Zimu's father in a military uniform, she feels really handsome, she is also very envious, but these, she has never said anything, although she is young, but she knows in her heart that her father is very concerned about this matter, and she does not want to evoke his bad memories。

Carrying the schoolbag, Xiao Li said hello briefly, opened the door and prepared to go out, but keenly felt a gust of wind behind him, and his body reacted quickly, bent over, bowed his head, and did a standard backflip, and then quickly straightened up, lifted one foot, and a small cardboard box fell steadily on her feet.

"There aren't many things, so let them make do with it. Father waved his hand and turned to walk into the room.

Xiao Li lifted his toes, the box fell steadily in his hand, the carton sealed with scotch tape, containing a small amount of fruit, Xiao Li glanced at his father in frustration, reluctantly opened the door, walked to the next door to hit the door, and was reluctant to raise his hand to push the door for a long time.

After a few minutes, I finally reluctantly pushed open the red door, and as soon as I entered the door, I heard two dog barks, which made Xiao Li tremble.

"Black Tiger, you scared me, usually you shouldn't go to sleep at this time, why are you so energetic today, go and go, I don't have time today, don't bother me." Xiao Li kicked a big black dog in the air with one foot, and said impatiently.

Cheng Zimu's home is actually really magnificent, walk into the gate, through a small courtyard, only to come to a small courtyard door, walk in, is the real family mansion, the family mansion is called by Xiao Li in private, in her opinion, this is a villa-style mansion, compared with her own small courtyard, it is simply heaven and earth.

A middle-aged woman wearing an apron walked out, she was a nanny who had been in a family for more than ten years, and it was said that she had been serving Grandpa Cheng, she walked over with a smile, "Xiao Li, the old chief just now said why you haven't come to visit the door in the past few days, come in." ”

"Aunt Guo is good. Xiao Li said hello briefly and walked inside.

Walking into the living room, Xiao Li looked at it, and found that he didn't come for two days, and there was a set of sofas in the living room, the living room of Chengzimu's house was very large, very big, the house was very simple, a small yard, the living room was not big, and then there was a bedroom in the east and west corners of the living room, which was the father and his own room, and the left side of the courtyard was the kitchen, and then the bathroom, a simple farmhouse courtyard.

But the living room of Cheng Zimu's family is on Xiao Li's whole home, the door is the entrance, Xiao Li is used to changing slippers, and then the sofa in the center of the living room, the glass square table, the south of the living room is the open kitchen, then the guest room, the bathroom, and a small leisure area, and then there is a small spiral staircase in the room, upstairs is the bedroom of the Cheng family, and Cheng Zimu's study, Cheng Grandpa's study.

If it weren't for the fact that he was a soldier and a family, Xiao Li really wanted to slap Cheng Zimu on the head and scold him as a capitalist.

"Xiaoli is here, come here, grandma made a cake, come often, just said let Xiaomu go next door and call you over, you will come, sit down." Grandma Cheng walked over from the kitchen with a pot of tea and greeted Xiaoli with a smile.

"Grandpa Cheng, this is the fruit that my father asked me to give you. Xiaoli smiled at Grandma Cheng and sat politely next to Grandpa Cheng.

In fact, Xiao Li is still afraid of this old man in his selfish heart, he has been a soldier all his life, he is still a chief, the majesty in his bones always gives people a sense of oppression, although he usually likes to laugh with Xiao Li, but he starts a temper, but it is really scary, Xiao Li graduated from elementary school and Cheng Zimu played until midnight and did not go home, and Qu Qing, Xing Mo and Cheng Zimu's friend Fang Yi went to the playground to play together, forgot the time, Grandpa Cheng was quite mighty with the black tiger and a large group of people to arrest them back, Xiao Li was punished by his father to write a 3,000-word check, and later heard that Cheng Zimu was stunned to kneel in the study for a night, and Grandpa Cheng did not smile at Xiao Li for several days。

"Xiaoli, why haven't you come to play in the past two days, did Xiaomu make you angry, tell grandpa, grandpa will clean him up for you, okay. Grandpa Cheng smiled and handed over a piece of cake and said.

Xiaoli took the cake and rolled her eyes secretly, two days, it's only two days, is it true that I and Ren Chengzimu are conjoined babies, and we have to be tied together every day? But she didn't dare to say this, and prevaricated while eating, "No, my dad has been busy lately, I have to help him prepare meals, and he is about to graduate from the exam, so I haven't come over much." ”。

"It turns out that I want to study hard, Xiaoli, have you ever thought about going to a good school and leaving here, huh?" Grandpa Cheng asked with a smile still on his face, his eyes did flash a fine light.

"Uh,,, Grandpa Cheng, you still don't know me, my poor grades, where did I go to a good school, it would be good if I could be admitted to Tianlan High School, my dad still wants me to repeat a year? However, he also underestimates me too much, if I work hard, how can I be admitted." Xiao Li said breathlessly.

"How come, we are smart and smart, smart and cute, according to grandma, as long as you work hard, it's no problem, don't have too much pressure, go back and grandma will stew soup for you, make up for it, the current students are very tired." Grandma Cheng looked at Xiaoli with a distressed face and said.

"It's still my grandmother who feels sorry for me. Xiao Li leaned over with a smile, shaking Grandma Cheng's arm and coquettishly, and Grandma Cheng smiled more and more happily.

Grandpa Cheng on the side looked at the two of them, and shook his head with a smile, Aunt Guo on the side laughed while pouring tea, every time the little one left, the two old people were very happy, and it could be seen that they really liked this little girl.

There was a sound of footsteps at the stairs, Xiao Li looked up, Cheng Zimu walked down with his schoolbag, step by step, looking like a comic book beautiful boy walking slowly, white shirt, jeans, simple and clean, but it seemed to be radiant, Xiao Li squinted at him and secretly pouted, so young and so good-looking, what's the use, growing up must be a scourge, she pouted, turned her head, and continued to chat with Grandma Cheng, making Grandma Cheng laugh non-stop.

Cheng Zimu had already heard Xiaoli's voice upstairs, walked downstairs, looked at the girl with a mouth full of cream and a silly smile on the sofa, and felt inexplicably satisfied in his heart, and his young throbbing heart was softened like that.
