The stalemate is quite long, or it may be quite short, anyway, it is all incomprehensible psychological time.

The road is full of people, and it doesn't look good after standing for a long time.

Jiang Yi is not as good as Ge Zheng in terms of face, and the people who come and go next to him glance at him casually a few times, he feels a little abrupt in his heart, and then looks at the bus that is about to come not far away, his nervousness is even more aggravated - there must be a large number of classmates in their class who have just finished class on the bus, seeing Ge Zheng's salivating face sticking out of the car window, and grabbing his schoolbag belt again and again, what is going on?

A little gossip or discord between international students and between whom, that is no worse than the apocryphal ability of professional paparazzi, just such a big place, but if you want to have other entertainment methods to distract yourself, you have to have that condition.

Jiang Yizhen listened to Tiffin's big mouth and his own muttering about other people's gossip, this gossip was definitely not created by him alone, and information sources were blooming everywhere.

So Jiang Yi didn't want to let himself become a living target for other people's after-dinner pastime.

He glanced at the approaching bus, took a step forward, opened the back door, and got on the bus.

He has taken Ge Zheng's car many times, and each time he is still particular about the position.

Generally, when there are only two people, out of politeness, you must sit in the co-pilot seat, otherwise you really think of others as drivers.

But when he is in an extremely bad mood or expresses protest feelings, he will sit in the back and use you as a driver.

Ge Zheng glanced at him in the rearview mirror, his eyebrows and eyes were bent, he gave a very shallow smile, and he didn't say anything, followed the bus, and drove out slowly.

Neither of them spoke again.

Jiang Yi looked out of the window like a pufferfish for a while, and when he breathed a sigh of relief, he couldn't help but glance ahead a few more times, but when he saw Ge Zheng's expressionless face, the fire in his heart would rivet his head up again.

Ge Zheng drove half the way, stopped at the corner of a living area, opened the chest of drawers, took out a bottle of milk from it, and handed it to Jiang Yi in the back.

Jiang Yi took it and put it aside casually, not easily accepting this move with a little appeasement and goodwill.

"Inner child, don't be mad at me." Ge Zheng looked at him in the rearview mirror for a long time, and suddenly said softly.

Jiang Yi looked at him coldly.

Ge Zheng looked at it for a while without smiling, then suddenly turned around and lowered his head slightly in the direction of Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi was defenseless, he didn't know what he was going to do, so he subconsciously avoided it.

Ge Zheng directly held his wrist hanging on one side, held his palm and covered the top of his head, and then his eyelashes flashed, covering his pupils thickly, and a pious shadow on his lower eyelids, "Please...... Forgive me my sins. ”

......

The area where Ge Zheng took Jiang Yi is basically a real residential area that international students don't set foot in, and there are no large number of tenants, and it is a place with a real breath of life.

The aging of West is also quite serious, and many people who live here are in the nature of pension.

is older, but he is more calm and has more time to ponder the small things between his own inches, and the courtyards of every household are much more delicate and stylish than those in the university.

Jiang Yi followed Ge Zheng and walked slowly, and entered a house through the back door of the courtyard.

The door in the backyard leads to the kitchen door, and at a cursory glance, it seems that there are quite a few people inside.

A Chinese girl is boiling water to make tea, and the rich black tea is mixed with fresh milk, and the strong aroma of boiling hot air gushes out.

When Jiang Yi came in, the girl was taking out oatmeal biscuits from the packaging bag and placing them in the porcelain plate with exquisite patterns.

The three of them looked at each other, and the other party smiled at Ge Zheng first, Ge Zheng nodded, but he didn't say anything superfluous.

Jiang Yi was stunned for a moment, "Xiao Jane? ”

Xiao Jane was neither surprised nor repulsed by his arrival, she looked cold and indifferent, and said "um" in her nose even if she said hello.

She quickly put her things into a tray and followed them into the living room.

The living room is in the direction of the courtyard, there are two whole walls of floor-to-ceiling windows, the weather is okay today, one of them is half lifted.

There is a circle of white fabric folding chairs in the window, a small wooden piano squeezed in the corner, and several small glass bottles with freshly folded flowers from the backyard are scattered on top of it.

There is a thick wool carpet on the floor, and there are curtains hanging from the flowers in front of the window, and the breeze is gentle, not luxurious, very quiet.

There were two other people in the room, a man and a woman, who said hello briefly, and they were also domestic international students, but everyone didn't look familiar.

The car was already parked at the front door, and a local old lady with thin and gray hair got out of the driver's seat and led the two Chinese students in the car out with a smile, chatting restrained and cordial.

It was the first time for Jiang Yi to be a guest at this kind of real local's home, and he was a little restrained in his actions.

He glanced at Ge Zheng vaguely, and knew what kind of nonsense he was talking about, and it was estimated that even the ghost couldn't fool him, and he really believed that he had a ghost.

There is still a strange feeling in the palms of the hands, the furry is a little itchy, and I always want to clench it subconsciously.

There was still anger between the two, and nothing was explained, just now Ge Zheng's inexplicable move was purely a foul, Jiang Yi was stunned, and then followed in a daze.

No matter how depressed it is, it's still familiar with Ge Zheng here.

Jiang Yi quietly asked, "How can this light be opened?" ”

Ge Zheng looked very solemn, stood straight, and could see that he had a lot of respect for the white old lady.

He put one hand on Jiang Yi's back, led him over there, and introduced directly: "Jenny, this is a friend of mine, this is the first time to come here." ”

"Oh, it's a pleasure to see you," Jenny's voice was the same as her body, restrained and kind, and she couldn't help but put her hands on her chest when she spoke, and her speech slowed down consciously or unconsciously to be as clear as possible, "This is for you, and you're welcome." She took out a brand-new Bible from the cloth bag she was carrying on her arm and handed it to Jiang Yi.

Jiang Yi turned around in his mind, and then understood what Ge Zheng meant, hurriedly said thank you, and introduced his name.

The two students who got out of the car were also here for the first time, and their eyes were written with ignorance.

Xiao Jian put the tea tray on the coffee table on the side, and sat cross-legged on the carpet directly, looking very familiar and did not talk to Jiang Yi.

Jenny didn't have a good shoulder, she always seemed to be holding it, she smiled and said that she was going to go to the bathroom first, and Ge Zheng carefully helped her carry her things and sent her over.

"Eh, I look like I've seen you at school." The boy who got out of the car came over and touched Jiang Yi with his shoulder.

Jiang Yi looked at him and smiled, but didn't say anything.

The boy looked more cramped than Jiang Yi, his eyes kept looking left and right, frowned for a long time and said, "Do you believe it?" ”

Jiang Yi almost said that I was here to open the light, and asked jokingly: "Do you believe it?" ”

"What do you believe, it's all this age, besides, what kind of education have we received all the way," the boy shook his head self-deprecatingly, "Believe in this thing, that has to be cultivated from an early age, or wait until you get older and think more about it, and then you always want to find a spiritual sustenance. ”

This kid is eighty percent nervous, his mouth is very broken, and he can keep talking by himself without interrupting.

Jiang Yi also smiled, although the other party said frivolously, he still felt the same way, "Then why are you here?" ”

The boy's voice was lowered, "Thinking about practicing speaking, besides, this experience is quite novel, experience the experience, and it doesn't cost money, this Jenny is quite famous among our domestic students, don't you know?" ”

"I don't know." Jiang Yizhen didn't pretend.

The boy got closer, "She and her husband are almost seventy years old, they have no children, their biggest hobby is to volunteer to preach, and they don't do anything else, just take it to tell stories from the Bible and so on, people are good people, really good people, many people come back to their hometowns after graduation to revisit, and they want to come back to see her, and also send some domestic specialties or something, eh, and ......" He lay in Jiang Yi's ear, and the words behind him were even quieter.

Jiang Yi's eyes flashed, his eyes followed Jenny who came back, and he coughed lightly, and the boy stopped talking.

Ge Zheng brought two more chairs over, and when he passed by him, he asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?" ”

"Nothing." Jiang Yi just looked at him.

For the next hour, the room was quiet.

Jenny's voice was very slow, accompanied by a slight hoarseness, and after she said that, she took out a golden throat candy from her pocket and put it in her mouth, smiled apologetically, Jiang Yi looked at the golden wrapping paper and smiled knowingly.

"We can always use science to interpret many things, but science can't interpret all things after all, and those that can never be interpreted are the power of God, what is God? God is our fear beyond the limits of manpower. Jenny's eyes were reverent, and her thin index finger and thumb pinched out a small slit and held it to the side of her face, "Why do spiders make webs like that?" Why the bee's hive is a meticulous hexagon......"

Jane tilted her head slightly, listening intently.

Jiang Yi secretly looked around and found that the boy who was talking nonsense to him had a very focused expression, and even frowned slightly.

Whether it is true or not, at least everyone's attitude feedback makes Jenny feel very gratified.

Only Ge Zheng seemed to have long since detached himself from the people around him, staring at a certain point in the void, not knowing what he was thinking, at least not what Jenny thought he thought.

When his expression is completely immersed, there will be a kind of spiritual dissociation, and no one can grasp it.

At the end, Jiang Yi came out first, waited next to the car for a while, and Ge Zheng helped Jenny change the rear tire before coming out.

The people are gone.

Ge Zheng got into the car, started the car and suddenly stopped, turned his head and asked, "Did you take it?" ”

"Take it." Jiang Yi shook the Bible in his hand.

Ge Zheng smiled and nodded, "That's good, or it's in vain." ”

Jiang Yi couldn't laugh, watched him drive for a while, and then asked, "Is it compensation?" ”

"Huh?" Ge Zheng's voice asked with some knowingness.

That's what it means to be vague and not want to answer.

The apology is in the attitude, and I don't want to say it openly.

But Jiang Yi's heart sank, and he was thinking about something else, so he didn't give him this opportunity, "Find a place to talk?" ”

"What are you talking about?" Ge Zheng pushed on his sunglasses, unable to see through his expression.

Jiang Yi didn't speak, the two were in a stalemate for a while, Ge Zheng sighed slightly, stopped the car, got out of the car and went to the store to buy two bottles of water, and sat down on the side of the road.

Jiang Yi also got out of the car and sat next to him, tilting his head to look at his side face for a long, long time.

It's not early, but it's still bright.

There are not as many pedestrians on the road as there were when they first came, and it is quiet.

There was a blue cigarette case on the side of the road, and a small yellow plastic bag was attached to the mouth of the box, which was blown back and forth by the wind, scratching on the road and rustling.

said that he wanted to talk, but it was too embarrassing to be silent.

Whoever starts is responsible.

"Do you believe it?" Jiang Yi asked.

"What?" Ge Zheng kept pinching the water bottle in his hand, and his eyes followed the yellow of the road.

Jiang Yi leaned back, holding the ground with one hand, "Just now at Jenny's, the boy who came later asked me if I believed it, and he said that none of the people who went there believed it, what about you, do you believe it?" ”

Ge Zheng frowned, glanced over for a while, but quickly moved away, and there was a hint of coldness in his voice, "I don't believe it." ”

Jiang Yi nodded slightly, "That ......"

Ge Zheng interrupted without waiting for him to finish, "I, I like to listen to Jenny, it doesn't matter what she says, the atmosphere of sitting in her house calms me," he paused, "peace of mind." ”

After saying this, there was something to say.

It's all adults, so there's no need to break your fingers one by one like elementary school students, and it's important to know each other.

Ge Zheng felt that when he reached this point, it was okay, and his little guilt had reached this point, and it would be expressed to the end.

But soon, he heard Jiang Yi say again: "Let me tell you a secret, my secret." ”

Jiang Yi changed his posture, from leaning back to hunching his waist, his elbows on his knees, and every word in his mouth had been soaked in time, and there was some hardship that had been dusty for many years.

He cleared his throat.

"When I was in junior high school, I had a very good friend, really good, the kind of like for no reason, I just can't wait to be together every day, I want to do everything together, go to school and leave school together, play ball together in physical education class, have good things to send to others, send him willingly and very happy, copy his homework, he was dumped by the girl in the next class, I was so angry that I ran to the girl to talk, what thunder in the class I carried for him, that is, everything that can be done is willing to do for him."

Ge Zheng listened for a while, didn't understand what he was going to say, and looked at him slightly.

Jiang Yi's rhythm of speaking remained unchanged, so he said lightly: "Later, when he went to high school, his family moved and went to other school districts, and the contact gradually decreased, and I don't know why it was completely broken off later." ”

"Two years later, one morning, on the way to school, I met him outside the subway station, he was wearing a school uniform, carrying a school bag, and a sports water bottle in his hand, standing there, standing next to a group of people waiting for the train, as if they were one, but they were free."

"I went up to pat him, and I said it was a coincidence, I hadn't been in touch for so long, and I actually ran into him here! When he looked up and saw that it was me, he was very happy and dragged me to the side for breakfast. I said goodbye, I'm too late to go to school, you call me one, let's get together on the weekend. ”

He said yes, and left his phone number for me...... When we parted, he hugged me very hard and said happily, I didn't expect to meet you today, it's so good. ”

Jiang Yi said this and stopped for a long time.

Ge Zheng asked softly, "What happened later?" ”

Jiang Yi directly touched Ge Zheng's pants pocket, pulled out the cigarette case from it, took out one with trembling fingers and bit it on the side of his mouth, and did not point it.

Ge Zheng thought about it and took out the lighter and took the initiative to come over.

Jiang Yi shook his head and didn't let him order.

"I only found out about it when I attended his funeral...... Depression," Jiang Yi squinted and turned to look at Ge Zheng, "it was the morning I met." ”

Jiang Yi took down the cigarette that had been bitten out of shape by the filter, and his voice was not very steady, "I was too shocked, sad, or scared at that time, anyway, I didn't mention it to anyone, I saw him that morning, and sometimes I wonder if it would change anything if I went to have breakfast with him." But after that, I frantically checked a lot of information and read a lot of related things, and since then, when I encounter anything, I never persuade others to look away, be optimistic, be strong, it's all a piece of soup, it's meaningless," he paused, called Ge Zheng's name, and looked at each other's eyes sincerely, "I just want to say, if you need an audience or a tree hole, I'm here." ”
