Chapter 19: I Protect You

"Just paint a darker eyebrow color." Qi Mallow didn't think too much about it, and answered honestly.

"But it's still there."

Wu Shan stopped staring at her eyebrows, turned to look at the TV, and turned up the volume very loudly, trying to cover the noise in his heart.

Qi Mallow listened to Zhao Ke's "The World", "I met the side face that seemed familiar and evoked memories/Back to the past when I refused to give up after a long absence/You are used to quibbling/Denying/Owing/Pretending to be vigorous/Sending away the youthful and ignorant and unwilling to be willing to be reluctant/Drew the sign that is alone and risky and does not complain/You understand the world/Only then do you understand that this is the world", followed the song into the memory.

That day was the first day she and Jiang Huai went to junior high school, and Wushan was just in his third year of high school, and they wore the same school uniform to school for the first time, and they were happy.

At the end of school, Qi Mallow and Jiang Huai obediently waited for Wushan on the edge of the flower platform in front of the promised teaching building, because he said that their teacher liked to drag the classroom.

Sure enough, they waited for ten minutes before Wushan appeared, and the three of them happily left the school gate. The school is not far from home, three bus stops away, because Qi Mallow and Jiang Huai came to this school on the first day, so the three of them decided to walk home to familiarize themselves with the surrounding environment.

When I walked for about seven or eight minutes, three guys came up to me, the road was a little deserted, basically no one, and in their shouting, Qi Mallow understood that it was a robbery.

At that time, Jianghuai was still a fat man, not as tall as Qi Mallow and stood in front of him angrily. Fifteen-year-old Wu Shan is already 1.7 meters tall, but he is thin, and his small body seems to have great strength, opening his arms to protect his younger brothers and sisters.

In my memory, Jiang Huai rushed up and fought with the bad guys with Wushan, and in a panic, she also rushed up and bit the other party's hand.

Later, she only remembered seeing a bottle flying towards Wushan, she subconsciously pounced on him, and the broken glass bottle fell to the ground in an instant without hitting anyone, but the broken glass piece accidentally flew to her eyes and inserted it into her eyebrows impartially.

A shattering sound scares the bad guys away.

Jiang Huai stumbled and ran to her, she pulled out the glass expressionlessly like a nobody, and the next second the glass came out, blood flowed down, and Jiang Huai cried.

Wu Shan's eyes were red, he held Qi Mallow in his arms, and ran towards the hospital.

There was a hospital nearby, he remembered, he could see it every time he went to school, but he couldn't find it, and for the first time he felt that the road was so long, as if he hadn't finished it for a century.

He panicked, and finally, he cried too.

Qi Mallow remembered that it was the first and only time she saw Brother Wushan crying.

"Brother, don't cry, it doesn't hurt."

She covered the bleeding place, and also covered her left eye, and Wu Shan looked at it, becoming more and more uncomfortable.

Jiang Huai listened from the sidelines, crying more and more violently.

Fortunately, they found the hospital a few minutes later.

Fortunately, it didn't hurt my eyes.

Later, JAC began to exercise and lose weight, and finally he was no longer fat, and finally higher than Qi Mallow .

Jiang Huai said that he would protect Ah Jin.

Because of this accident, Wushan acted more like a little adult, and accompanied Jianghuai to exercise every day.

Recalling this, Qi Mallow looked at Wushan's distracted appearance, and must have been thinking about it, so he gently poked him in the arm twice.

"Brother Wushan?"

Wu Shan came back to his senses, and when he saw her smile, his heart suddenly warmed, and he said, "I will protect you." ”

Qingchuan's gravel-like voice instantly panicked her. She was really lucky to have two people to protect.

Jiang Huai went downstairs and scattered the thoughts of the two.

"Ah Jin, it's four o'clock, shouldn't we go home and clean up?"

Qi Mallow nodded. Then Father Wu also went downstairs and said to Wu Shan: "Xiaoshan, go and help them." ”

"Dad, if you don't say I'll go, I'll go."

Suddenly, the three of them stood in the hall of Qi Mallow family, and the huge family had no idea where to start.

The buildings of Shun Yifu are all in a uniform format, with three floors, with a courtyard, and a balcony on the roof.

Before, they just put the box in the hall, Qi Mallow lived on the third floor, and Jiang Huai still lived next door to her, so the three of them decided to clean from the third floor first.

Jianghuai's room only has one bed, and it is easy to clean up, Wushan is with him, and then drags the bathroom and corridor on the third floor, Qi Mallow only needs to clean the room he is in.

An hour later, they slowly moved from the second floor to the living room on the first floor.

"You don't have to clean up the kitchen, do you?" JAC said.

Wu Shan replied: "No, go to my house for dinner." ”

Qi Mallow agreed, even if she didn't go to Wushan's house, she and Jianghuai could still order takeout and go out to eat.

Omit the kitchen, the first floor is still difficult to tidy up, the bar counter is very large, and the row of tea cans neatly placed against the wall, Biluochun, Tieguanyin, West Lake Longjing...... The tea caddy was affixed with a handwritten label, with a beautiful font and a beautiful pen, written by her father, and the handwriting was as gentle as his own.

"All of this has to be lost, right?" Jiang Huai picked up a can and asked.

"The tea leaves are lost, the tea cans are kept, just leave them there." She doesn't know when her parents will come home, but she wants to keep the memories of this home.

Before and after, they were busy for three hours to clean up, and the time unconsciously came to seven o'clock. Wu's mother won't come back if she is on duty tonight, and Wu's father will also go back to the company to deal with things after they clean up, and let them solve dinner by themselves.

After a busy afternoon, they were really hungry, and the three of them looked at each other back and forth, and said in unison: "Come to Feng Xiaodian!" ”

Laifeng Xiaodian is a local snack in Lake City in the lanes around the square next door to Shunyifu.

Qi Mallow and Jiang Huai's favorite is her family's fried bait blocks, and Wushan prefers lemon potato chips. In the past, adults would go there to eat when they were not at home, and slowly, they had a warm feeling of home.

There is no bright wine and wine here in Yancheng, and the quiet and quiet of the small city is also unique.

Outside, the sky is only reflected in neon lights, and there are only dark clouds in the sky except for the traces of airplanes. And in the small city of Lake City, looking up at the sky, there are only bright stars in the deep sky.

Breezy, tranquil, serene.

The first time the boss saw them, he said, "Long time no see." ”

This was followed by a unanimous "long time no see".

How long? It's been three years.

The two little boys, the quiet little girl, have become handsome and pretty guys and beautiful young ladies in a blink of an eye.

"Auntie, we're still the same, just those few dishes, salmon ......."

Before Wushan finished speaking, the boss answered directly: "I still remember." ”

Qi Mallow and Jiang Huai scratched their heads and smiled shyly at the same time, they can really eat, every time they come, they have to order a big table of dishes, thinking that the boss can still remember it for so long, he bowed his head shyly. Wu Shan couldn't help but laugh in his eyes.

Seven or eight minutes later, the boss served the food one after another, and the three of them ate slowly.

The same tables and chairs, the same dishes, the same people, it seems that all this has not changed, as if the missing three years are slowly coming back, filling in bit by bit.

Jiang Huai, who was eating, couldn't control his mouth, chattering non-stop, and the other two were used to the sound of these broken thoughts, echoing two sentences from time to time, and from time to time the two chatted about new topics.

There are always some people who recall and feel the warmth of the past years and set off ripples.

After the meal, I said goodbye to the owner of the small shop in Laifeng, and the next time the three of them get together, I don't know what year or month they will come again.

The evening breeze in early autumn is slightly chilly, but Qi Mallow likes this temperature, which is the warmth after experiencing the heat, and the calmness after experiencing the flowers.

"It would be nice if there was a light rain at this time." Walking out of the alleyway, Qi Mallow had a whim.

"It's raining, it's no wonder if you don't catch a cold!" Jianghuai was puzzled.

Wu Shan didn't speak, and silently walked to the left of Qi Mallow.

The two boys said that they would protect her, so she walked between the two wherever she went.

Qi Mallow glanced at Jiang Huai and continued to walk forward.

The three figures were separated in the light.

As soon as I entered Shunyifu, the rain poured down.

Jiang Huai complained: "Didn't you say light rain, why is this rain so heavy?" ”

Qi Mallow buttoned his clothes and hat to his head, and shouted in the rain: "I haven't fulfilled my words like this." ”

By the time she finished speaking, Wu Shan had already taken off his coat and covered it over her head.

Jiang Huai also immediately took off his own and sheltered her from the rain.

Qi Mallow looked up at the two pieces of clothes above him, and pulled down Wushan's clothes without hesitation.

"Brother Wushan, I'll be fine with Jianghuai."

In an instant, Wu Shan's eyes darkened, and he felt as if something was broken in his heart.

After all, he still couldn't get close to them completely.

Jiang Huai had sorrow and joy in his heart, happy that Ah Jin chose himself, sad that he knew that she just didn't want Brother Wushan to get rainy.

When the two boys were distracted, Qi Mallow had already approached Jianghuai's side, and he didn't notice the strangeness of the two.

"Let's go, it's getting heavier and heavier!" She shouted.

The two quickly came back to their senses and ran in the direction of home.

When Wu Shan ran to the door of his house, he turned around and said goodbye to the two people behind him.

Qi Mallow was about to speak, and Wushan had already entered the door. She looked at the rain-struck iron gate, and her heart was empty.

"Ah Jin, let's go in too."

Jiang Huai looked at her gaze, and what she was thinking and thinking was clear at a glance.

When the three of them entered the house, they seemed to be tired of running, and it seemed that the weather dictated them, so they all sank their faces, bathed, changed clothes, and slept.

Qi Mallow was woken up by thunder in the middle of the night, and subconsciously rushed into Jianghuai's room with a quilt.

"Ah~" An exclamation echoed throughout the room.

"You asked to come in?" Jiang Huai pulled the quilt and shrank into the corner of the bed.

"Your door is unlocked."

In fact, she is not afraid of thunder, but she can't sleep in the first place, and with the sound of thunder, she can't sleep even more. So, he wrapped himself in the quilt and jumped on Jianghuai's bed, taking half of the position very domineeringly.

"You...... You, you, you......" He was already stammering nervously.
