Many years can't stand the careful reflection of looking back, and occasionally I think of it, and the warmth is like a piece of silk, and those clear or dark lights and shadows jump in between, but the faces on it are not so important.

Jiang Huai looked up at the sky.

It's August, too, but when the clock is turned back to eight years ago, all the heat will cool down in an instant.

There are not so many impetuous lights, there are no daunting steel forests, and on the island controlled by the temperate oceanic climate all year round, the sound of the west wind is so lazy that you want to close your eyes and sleep.

The wind carries the calmness of the Atlantic, and you can feel the cool wetness when you twist your fingers in the air.

The eyes are full of misty wet grasslands, the sky seems to be forever ready to roar, and it is internalized from time to time.

Jiang Huai...... Oh no, he was still called Jiang Yi back then.

The university Jiang Yi studied at is a highly ranked public school in Scotland, and the full name of the school is also crowned with the name of "Royal", which sounds lofty.

However, the place where the school is located does not quite match the momentum of the school's name, a small town, the town has less than 10,000 permanent residents, and the number of students at West University is 20,000.

It is said that it is a town, but behind the scenes, the international students call themselves "villages", and different schools only call each other "your village" and "our village".

Jiang Yi's time to "Huaicuner" is still shallow, he has been staying for two weeks, and he has not yet mixed up with the day of school.

A gentle drizzle was more like a temporary temper tantrum.

But the pedestrians on the street looked calm, no one quickened their pace for this, and no one had an umbrella, even though the so-called midsummer here still made people feel cold and add an extra sweater.

Jiang Yi sat in the bus stop kiosk on the side of the street, looking at all the wet street scenes, looking at the various foreigners who were completely different from himself, and the mentality that he was a bystander would be particularly obvious.

The environment is really good, and the loneliness is also really lonely.

There is only a small central block in the whole Huaicun, and there is a small shopping mall at the corner of the L-shaped, and the brands that need to be frantically found and hoarded in China are all complete inside, and all kinds of small shops are radiated outside the shopping mall, which are related to daily life, Jiang Yi is already familiar with it and cannot be more familiar: a small Chinese supermarket, two pound stores, a post office, a bank, and two Indian grocery stores.

It's just that these malls and shops will close after half past four in the evening.

Behind him at this moment was one of the only two Chinese restaurants in Huai Village, an all-you-can-eat cafeteria for ten pounds.

The reason why the word "new" is added is because no matter how strong the iron stomach is, it will never be able to eat here for two weeks in a row - the quality of the dishes is good, but the style has been very localized, and no matter what the dish is, it can't get rid of the fate of sweetness and fried.

The only remaining difference is probably whether it will be thickened or not, for a player like Jiang Yi, who has lived in a southern coastal city since junior high school, if he eats three meals in a row, he must delay for a few days, otherwise there will be a kind of discomfort that will be sweet and greasy for a long time, he is like this, not to mention the northern classmates among those international students.

But there are still very few people who can cook.

Especially for Jiang Yi and those students around him who play better, although they have all graduated from college, they still do not have the consciousness of adulthood in their mentality, and their psychological feelings are just transferred from the collective dormitory of four people in the university to the upgraded dormitory of one person with a shared bathroom, and cooking or something does not exist in the skill package at all.

As for another Chinese restaurant where you can order a la carte, some students have been to Lei, which is said to be extremely expensive and unpalatable.

It was raining for a while, and the bus back to school had two shifts.

The stop sign next to it details the time of each bus passing through the station, accurate to the minute.

Jiang Yigang stuffed a stomach full of sweet meat, and the blood in his brain was all in his stomach at the moment, he didn't want to get up, he just wanted to be in such a daze.

The roadside is full of pigeons, gray, white, flowers, there are, not so much like the domestic commercial square, arouse people's onlookers and take pictures, the pigeons here are quite fearless, too comfortable environment makes them very daring and willing to snatch the food in the hands of pedestrians, so in the local area, it is also known as the air rat.

"What are you doing, son?" A message comes in.

Jiang Yi smiled, picked up the phone and dialed back.

The phone was answered almost as soon as it was connected, "Son, do you miss your mother?" ”

Ms. Xu Xiangxiang's voice in the earpiece is still so full of shrewdness of the coexistence of reserve and philistine, and the accent is a combination of north and south.

Jiang Yi is not a rebellious boy, and his relationship with his mother is close and harmonious, although occasionally some philistines who pass the line will still make him slightly uncomfortable, but it is his mother's philistine that can allow him to enjoy his happy life now, so there is generally nothing dissatisfied.

"Don't you feel at ease if you don't say a few words to me when you wake up early and go to bed at night," Jiang Yi leaned against the glass baffle of the station, which was full of all kinds of messy graffiti, "When I was in college, you didn't have this habit." ”

"Mom is worried about you, isn't it," Xu Xiangxiang sighed, "There was something before, my mother drove and killed it, but now it can't be seen or touched," she didn't want to finish this topic herself, so she jumped to the daily question session, "Did you sleep well?" Are you used to eating? Add clothes to yourself when it's cold, I checked the weather forecast, I think you will add a pair of autumn pants tomorrow. ”

"Okay, okay, mom, don't talk about it, don't check my weather forecast every day, search the satellite map on the Internet to see our school, are you tired!" Jiang Yi couldn't cry or laugh a little, afraid of being chased and killed by Qiu Pants again, so he forcibly changed the topic and rhythm, "Some classmates in our dormitory said that they were looking for a place to work, but unfortunately we have too few Chinese restaurants here, just a self-service, I told you, there is only one waiter, all of them are radish pits, and I feel a little useless." ”

"Hey, I spent so much money to send you abroad so that you can study hard, what kind of job!" Ms. Xu Xiangxiang's voice suddenly raised a tone, "Don't mess around with those classmates, what kind of mentality, when you go abroad, you don't pout your ass and brush the dishes when you go abroad, it's like going out of a fake country, I just ask you have washed the dishes at home?" Something is wrong! ”

"Tsk, that's so ugly, I'm playing mosaic!" Jiang Yi laughed, raised his hand and looked at the time, "Come on, don't play with me grinding my teeth, you can go to sleep and get a beauty sleep." ”

"Okay, then you should also pay attention to safety," Xu Xiangxiang said quickly when she saw the stitches, "Old Jiang, hurry, say good night to your son." ”

"Good night son." A dazed voice came from the side.

"Good night, Lao Jiang, good night, Xiangxiang." Jiang Yi hung up the phone with a smile, his head tilted back again, to be honest, he felt quite relieved.

The last 20 years of his life were very lackluster.

When he was about to graduate from college, he was a little throbbing to enter the society, but before he was in a hot mood for three days, his family found him a good agent to study abroad.

So looking back and forth, he couldn't see anything special muddy and bumpy or anything like that.

In short, in addition to eating and drinking, he is really a bird for him at home and abroad.

Holding the mobile phone in his hand, he casually sent a chat message to his high school classmate and lifelong iron: "What? I'll go back to the dormitory in a while, and let's go black together? ”

"! Lao Tzu is working overtime, ancestors! Zhao Jia replied in seconds.

Just looking at the information, you can't tell who is older between the two.

Based on Jiang Yi's understanding of Zhao Jia, there is only one situation for this kid to be incoherent, and that is that the storm suppressed in his stomach will definitely not be less than level ten.

When he was in school, this child was a little lacking in heart and love for anyone, and he really didn't get cleaned up, and now he has worked directly after graduating from college, and it is estimated that he is not enough to clean up.

Jiang Yi simply changed his voice directly, "As for it, didn't you say two days ago that you want a bicycle, Lao Tzu is working to suffocate himself with his tail between his legs and pretend to be a grandson in the end!" In the past few days, it has been revealed. ”

", don't mention it, if you mention it, you want to blow up our company!" Zhao Jia also changed his voice, speaking as fast as a hurricane, "I admit everything about my profession, newcomer in the workplace, white, I'm convinced, but do you know what's going on today?" ”

"What's wrong?" Jiang Yi said, "Come, Brother Yi will be smooth." ”

"Get out of the way!" Zhao Jia seemed to stand up and changed places, just like this bear, Jiang Yi could think of this kid pinching his waist with a crooked face.

"Our team leader, a middle-aged woman, is four or five months pregnant, and I don't bother to bother with her all day long, I'm afraid that my gender can be on stage! At today's group meeting, she muttered four or five times that she wanted to eat spicy duck neck, and it was endless, so I sat next to her, and I couldn't pretend not to hear it, so I casually answered, yo, sour and spicy girl...... I'll just rely on it, that face was pulled at that time, and it can go around the earth! ”

"Ah...... Why? Jiang Yi also didn't react a little.

"You're confused, aren't you? Just ask if you are confused! Zhao Jia lit a fire twist on his buttocks, and it is estimated that he can be a monkey and put himself in the sky, and his lowered voice was a little hoarse, "Later, an old colleague pulled me aside and told me that people want a boy at home, and now I don't know the gender of the child, and I am very sensitive and nervous!" also said to me meaningfully, Xiao Zhao, work performance is one thing, and your emotional intelligence also has to make up for it...... I'll just rely on it, how do I know that there are still people living in the Qing Dynasty now, I just ask you, can you rely on me? Yes? ”

"Uh...... Is this what makes you work overtime? Jiang Yi couldn't empathize with Zhao Jia's embarrassing situation at that time, but the basic logical association was still online.

Zhao Jia seemed to light a cigarette over there, and said for a long time: "It's still good when I was in school, I used to think that I could work and make money, how awesome, fart!" Xiao Yizi, you should cherish the present. ”

"Hey, your heart is getting smaller and smaller, yo, you're still angry, you can say it, endlessly, the gender is really on the stage?" Jiang Yi coaxed him.

"Get out!" Zhao Jia's word has no momentum, and after venting his white face, his anger has dropped, but his emotions are still not very high, it is the feeling of being a little depressed and a little depressed, in short, Jiang Yi is a little careful.

Jiang Yi thought about it, turned on the camera of his mobile phone, took a picture of the surrounding street scene, and sent it to Zhao Jia, "Come on, Jiajia cutie, come and see Brother Yi's village and town life." ”

"Don't look at the street, I'll see if you have the style of the second primary school youth in the urban-rural junction." Zhao Jia replied.

Jiang Yi stretched out his hand far away, took a selfie with a tricky angle, and sent it to Zhao Jia, "Lick Yan Dog, your Brother Yi's handsome face is immortal for ten thousand years!" ”

Zhao Jia replied to him with a string of "" expressions, and then said: "I'm going back to work overtime, I won't tell you today, I think I can bomb the earth in my dreams, and now I can finally last for another cold summer." ”

"h......" Jiang Yi wanted to reply with the word "good", and before half of the pinyin was finished, he saw a black shadow quickly crossing in front of him.

He quickly looked up and saw a local boy on a skateboard, dressed in gray tracksuit, with a small round face that was no more than twelve or thirteen years old.

The boy spoke to him in a bad tone.

His local accent was too heavy, and the speed of his speech was fast, Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, barely understanding the boy's meaning, probably asking why he was filming him with his mobile phone.

Where is this?

The boy saw that he didn't react, so he was about to grab his mobile phone, and he couldn't stop talking, and the only thing he could vaguely distinguish was "delete".

"I didn't shoot you!" Jiang Yi stood up and frowned and explained, "I was just sending a selfie to my friend just now, and it was me who took a photo!" ”

But the boy didn't listen to him at all, and his mouth was grunting and questioning, and the gestures of his hands quickened.

If it is a simple PK force value, Jiang Yi's quality of often playing basketball and fitness, there is no big problem in beating this little kid.

But he can't forget the first lesson he came to here, which was the senior's reminder: don't mess with the local teenagers.

Here, teenagers are a group that makes people's heads hurt when they hear it.

Jiang Yi's height of more than 1.8 meters is not short, but the inertia of his past lifestyle still makes him more inclined to reason with the other party.

"I don't believe you, give me my phone!" The boy was unrelenting and tried to hit him with his skateboard.

Jiang Yi was also a little anxious, but he also restrained himself from defending only when the other party touched his body.

"Stop, you kid!" A woman's voice suddenly came.

Jiang Yi and the boy's movements both paused.

A red car came by at some unknown point and was parked in front of them.

A Caucasian girl in her twenties stood holding on to the car door and said sternly to the boy, "Don't play any tricks, hey, you've been seen through!" Get out of here, get out of this guy, get out of the way! Otherwise, you'll see! ”

The boy looked at each other, shrugged his shoulders, threw the skateboard to the ground, and slid away in a few clicks.

“...... Thank you! Thank you so much! Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment before hurriedly thanking the girl.

The girl didn't say anything, her expression was quite cool, she just replied to him with a smiling expression and sat back in the car.

Jiang Yi bent down, only to see that there was another person driving, Chinese, and a man with a handsome face, huh...... It turned out that this was the case, and this busyness changed from a strange encounter to a helping hand between compatriots, which made his heart instantly steady.

Jiang Yi hurriedly bent down and took a few steps forward, smiled in Chinese into the car window: "Dude, thank you!" ”

The man glanced at him, and his face in sunglasses couldn't see a real expression, so he just shook his hand casually, started the car and drove away.

Jiang Yi laughed self-deprecatingly, and didn't care, after all, no one stipulates that after others have finished helping, there is still an obligation to say that you are not welcome.

The bus appeared at the right time, Jiang Yi no longer hesitated, and hurriedly rushed up.
