Chapter 13 The streets of the night are always gentle
Zhang Jiadong stood in front of the cash register, looking at the computer with cloudy eyes.
"Brother, we won't play anymore, you can return the rest of the money to us."
Liu Ze looked at Zhang Jiadong and said with a smile.
"Wait a minute."
Zhang Jiadong looked up at the boy in front of him, who was about the same height as him, lowered his head again, and opened the money in the cabinet.
"White is not good, you played well, you will take me with you next time you rank."
Ouyang Youqian put his arm on Bai Hao's shoulder and said with a smile.
Bai didn't smile and nodded.
"Shouldn't you thank me? If I hadn't gone to the toilet with a stomachache, I wouldn't have played. ”
The little fat who came out of the toilet crossed his waist and said that he came out of the toilet in the middle of the game and watched until the end.
"You'd better fix your chain first."
"Cut, it's like you won, didn't you still not get past the ice in the end?"
Zhu Tianyi said unconvinced.
"Then we also won in momentum." Zhou Qun also shouted.
Ning Xin looked at them with a smile, and then at Bai Hao, his eyes sparkling, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Look at you one by one, I don't know if you think you're a professional player."
Lin Xiaoxiang covered her mouth and smiled.
"To tell you the truth, maybe I'll go back to playing professionally, maybe it's the next Uzi." Chubby waved his hand, looking confident.
"If you can play professionally, Lao Tzu is still an ace pilot, I would have wanted to fly a plane for a long time." Ouyang had the money to reply.
"Okay, He Xiaoye and Zhen Tian will be here soon, let's take the rest of the money and go to dinner."
Liu Ze took the rest of the money and said to everyone.
Zhang Jiadong looked at them, the introverted and shy boy just now was surrounded by everyone, his expression was still restrained, but the smile on the corner of his mouth couldn't be erased.
His cloudy eyes cleared up for a moment, hooked his shoulders and talked about running the train with his mouth full, talking about some unrealistic delusions, and looking like he was sure that it could be realized, looking really naïve.
However, the boy who disappeared back then is now slowly blending in, and perhaps it will end differently from theirs.
Zhang Jiadong cleaned up the items on the table, and an imperceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Yes, those children were very naïve, very naïve, and obviously looked like fools in his eyes.
But there seemed to be light in their eyes.
"Hey."
Liu Ze and the others stopped, turned their heads and looked at Zhang Jiadong suspiciously.
"I'll give you a bottle of Coke, welcome to play next time."
Zhang Jiadong looked at them, his eyes were clear, just like back then.
......
The moon stars are scarce, the dark streets are lit up by street lamps, and the familiar smell of fireworks is still very simple, very simple and ordinary for vendors and customers, adults and children, classmates and classmates.
After everyone hurriedly ran to the classroom after eating, they were almost scolded by the old class for being late, and after two more evening self-study, it was finally time to get out of school. Bai Hao walked on the street with his tired body, today's experience is really turbulent, and he has not recovered yet.
Bai Hao and Lin Xiaoxiang walked side by side, about a person apart. These days, the two of them often meet after school, and over time they are used to it, and they seem to have developed a tacit understanding with each other, as if they had made an appointment.
The boy showed a languid face, squinted at the girl, and was quite happy to see her head bowed and kicking the pebbles under her feet, and from time to time a soft laugh came out of her mouth.
"You look happy." Bai Hao looked ahead, holding the strap of his schoolbag in his hand, and said intently. "A Ning Xin will make you laugh until now."
"No, I just can't help it. You said that Ning Xin is such a big person, He Xiao also called her sister during the meal, as for the excitement that she was about to cry, and shouted that she wanted to drink, if it wasn't for everyone to stop her, she might not know what she would be drunk, which made He Xiao also very embarrassed. Lin Xiaoxiang looked at the boy with a smile, Ling Bai Hao's face was slightly red, and he tightened the strap in his hand even more, looking straight ahead.
"I don't think you're in a good mood." Lin Xiaoxiang turned his head to look ahead, and said again. "Is there something going on?"
"It's nothing, it's the first time I've hung out with someone else, and I'm very happy." Bai Hao unnaturally pursed his mouth, his eyes glancing upward.
When Lin Xiaoxiang heard this, he immediately turned around and blocked in front of Bai Hao, and his beautiful eyes stared at his eyes without blinking.
Adolescent hormones are always much higher than before, especially when the unintentional behavior of the opposite sex may tug at your heartstrings, and at a wrong moment, you always think that you have found the right person. For Bai Hao, who has experienced countless novels, this kind of scene is even more taboo, and he hurriedly recited a few times in his heart, "I am a male ketone, I am a male ketone." ”
"What's wrong? Do I have words on my face? Bai Hao felt embarrassed, so he asked out loud, his eyes drifting away.
"The corners of your mouth are unnatural, your eyes are looking upwards to the right, and your hands are swinging unnaturally, you are lying." Lin Xiaoxiang touched his chin with his right hand, glanced at him with watery eyes, then turned around and groaned softly. "I'm just curious, since you don't want to say it."
The boy's face turned redder and he didn't speak. He walked side by side with Lin Xiaoxiang, peeked at her, and couldn't help but smile bitterly when he saw her expression as usual.
"It's not a big deal."
The girl immediately looked at Bai Hao, blinking her big sparkling eyes.
Bai Hao pursed his lips, lowered his head lightly, held his chin with his right hand, put his hand down again, rubbed his pants with both hands, and then whispered;
"I had a lot of fun eating with everyone, and I felt special and a strange sense of accomplishment when I saw you all laughing together. But I always feel ......"
Lin Xiaoxiang lifted the tips of the hair in her ears and listened to what the boy said on the side, nodding her head occasionally, looking very serious.
"I always feel that I can't interject what you say, and I used to complain that the school meal time was very short, and I often had to count it so that I wouldn't be late. But this time the meal really feels so slow, although the old class has limited the time, it is still more abundant than before, obviously not too much, but the stomach can't fit it, and it is so tiring to eat a meal, even more tiring than helping the old class move equipment. It's as if you're not in the same world, and no matter how hard you try, you can't get into the same dimension. ”
Bai Hao looked up and looked at the night sky without stars in front of him, without any light.
"Don't you even give hope......
It was late at night, and the surroundings were wrapped in black, only a few street lamps beside him were slightly bright, and the boy's voice seemed lonely and helpless, as if he was one with the sky.
"Hmm, why does it smell so sour?"
Lin Xiaoxiang covered her nose and looked at the boy with wide eyes in a hurry.
"Huh? Me? No, I don't. Bai Hao asked carefully about the smell on his body and said seriously.
"Poof!" Lin Xiaoxiang couldn't help laughing, looked at him narrowly, and then said leisurely. "It is said that there is great wisdom in the hearts of people who are often silent, and I think you are quite stupid."
"How can this kind of thing succeed at one time, you are not very familiar with them, you must feel awkward, don't be sad now, where did you learn that sour atmosphere in the Republic of China? It won't be Chubby's teaching. ”
Bai Hao's old face turned red, twisted his head away, and muttered: "I knew you would laugh at me......"
Lin Xiaoxiang looked at him, hesitated for a moment, and asked softly:
"Is a person really scared?"
Bai Hao was suddenly stunned, clutched the strap of his schoolbag, quietly skimmed to the girl, was silent for a while, lowered his head and looked at the shoes under his feet, and then whispered:
"When I walk on my own, I always feel like I'm being watched all the time."
"Have you ever traveled alone?"
"No, no."
"Have you ever eaten hot pot alone?"
"No—don't dare... What does that mean exactly? ”
"My parents are very busy with work, and they always had to delay for a long time when they wanted to go out with me, but then they couldn't stand my hunger and finally took me to Changbai Mountain, which I always wanted to go to. The itinerary can be carried out strictly according to the schedule, for fear of delaying time. Sometimes I want to stop and take a look at the scenery on the road, but I just glance at the moment when the car drives by, and I feel amazing. I didn't want to listen to other people's arrangements, I wanted to live the life I wanted, so I went to Changbai Mountain by myself again, free and easy, stopped when I was tired, went to play when I was happy, and talked to the local people. I looked at the Tianchi on the north slope and felt that it was not enjoyable, so I ran hundreds of miles to the south slope to see it again. Although some of the fleeting scenery is no longer amazing, at least I can see it, and I feel super satisfied when I have been there. ”
"Isn't it dangerous to go out alone, especially girls?"
"The results are good, and I'm still safe." Lin Xiaoxiang shrugged lightly.
"What does hot pot mean?" Bai Hao is curious.
"Hot pot, don't you think it's cool to eat hot pot alone!" She blinked her big eyes and looked excited. "You can order whatever you want, and you don't have to worry about the appearance of the food, so you don't care what the people next to you think."
Bai Bu smiled slightly, and the girl's excited expression looked very real, but it seemed to be very distant, but it made him yearn for it.
"But it's really hard to be alone." The corners of Lin Xiaoxiang's mouth curved into an arc. "I wanted to join but was rejected, and I finally made up my mind to change myself, but others won't let you change, and after you have made up your mind in your heart, how can you change the hearts of others."
"You ......"
The girl said these words with a smile, and her voice was calm and unwavering.
"I guessed too, you're trying a few more times, and you won't feel embarrassed when you get acquainted with them." Lin Xiaoxiang squinted his eyes again, his voice was a little louder than before, and he said loudly. "I think it's amazing to be able to correct the mistakes I made in the past and grit my teeth and try things that I didn't dare to do."
Lin Xiaoxiang squinted his eyes again, his voice was a little louder than before, and he said leisurely.
Bai Hao looked at her side face, and suddenly felt a sense of trance.
"If it doesn't work, then ......," Lin Xiaoxiang suddenly whispered.
"Huh? What will happen? ”
The boy looked puzzled.
"Ahh Nothing, I'll just talk about it. Lin Xiaoxiang looked ahead again and said. I went to the Internet café today, and the network manager looked a little strange. ”
"I think too, but nothing happened, I guess it's too enthusiastic and a little uncomfortable."
Bai Hao chuckled, followed what she said, and continued to chat.
Slowly, without a trace, the boy took a few steps towards her, and the distance between the two had narrowed unconsciously.
The road ahead is very long, and a person's words will inevitably be cranky, if there is someone to accompany you, it seems to be good, put your mind on chatting, at least don't think about those sad things.
