When I got home that day, the stiff sense of alienation between the two disappeared. Of course, this was what Fang Ruo felt in his heart, Xu Zhuoyuan never felt that they had ever been alienated from each other.

Anyway, Fang Ruo was no longer thinking nonsense, and she felt that life was back to its former brightness. After two days at home, she returned to her grandmother's house.

Grandma saw her come back and quickly took out a bag of things from the room, this is the apple she bought from the market during the day, looking at grandma's still thin and hunchbacked body, a child-like smile bloomed on her face, Fang Ruo was even more heartbroken, thinking that she would be better to grandma in the future.

Life doesn't seem to be as bad as she thinks, after all, it is to keep the clouds open and see the moon.

Fang Ruo remembered the scene of Xu Zhuoyuan's battle with the hawker that day, she suddenly found that when she was not by his side, Xu Zhuoyuan did not become another person, he was still the same as before, confident and brave, and he was the teenager she was most familiar with.

His mouth is sharp and unforgiving, but his heart is as soft as water. In the past, when they went to school together, there were always some poor people on the rooftop near the school, who were handicapped and begging for a living, and they always knelt on the wooden board and sang sadly, so they would put a note or coin in their bowl every time they passed by, as a sign of their meager heart.

Every time she would ask him why he didn't put a little change with him, Xu Zhuoyuan always sneered and said that he never believed in this, and many people were actually the eyes and ears of the MLM organization and so on.

In fact, when passing the overpass on a rainy day, there was no trace of them on the overpass, and Xu Zhuoyuan would always mumble to himself that he didn't know if these begging people had found a place to shelter from the rain.

Sometimes it was late to get home from school, and there were not many people on the overpass at this time, Fang Ruo found that Xu Zhuoyuan was walking in front, she clearly saw him leaning down and talking to the begging old man with a smile, and laughing with the children on the side, and he also stuffed a lot of change to them before leaving.

Xu Zhuoyuan is like this, he is very resistant to letting him do something touching in person, but he doesn't believe it when he says he doesn't believe it, but he actually donates more than anyone else in private.

Fang Ruo didn't debunk his twisted thoughts, and every time they passed by the rooftop on their way to school, she looked at Xu Zhuoyuan next to her who had "It's none of her business" written on her face, and she couldn't help but smile, thinking that he was so cute.

After reminiscing, Fang Ruo felt that he would have to put more emphasis on studying in the future, and strive to stand side by side with him and stand on a high place to see the most beautiful scenery together.

Thinking about it this way, she is also full of fighting spirit in her studies, and she is also full of hope for the future, and she is busy with her life, and the second year of high school has passed quickly.

She still lived with her grandmother during the summer vacation, Xu Zhuoyuan complained that she didn't go home at first, but after a few days of sulking, she began to come to her grandmother's house every three or five days to find her, and the good name was "looking for Fang Ruo to study together", in fact, he was not used to the holidays and often couldn't see her, it was really difficult to understand the pain of missing.

Fang Ruo felt funny, the desk on which she was writing her homework was small and broken, and she was barely enough for herself. As soon as Xu Zhuoyuan came, the two of them crowded into this small table to study, and they seemed even more cramped and narrow, and they often touched their arms when they sat facing each other.

Xu Zhuoyuan is tall, his legs are also long, the table is high and his thighs are between him, he sits on a small chair, a pair of long legs can only be aggrieved and bowed on the table, looking very nondescript.

Despite such difficult conditions, Xu Zhuoyuan still felt that he was not tired of it, and he felt that it was very clean and a good place to study.

Fang Ruo saw that he looked serious and focused when he was writing his homework, and he didn't want to say anything more, the guests were used to it, what reason did the host have to pick on it?

After Xu Zhuoyuan came more often, Grandma Fang Ruo didn't treat him as an outsider anymore. Occasionally, in her spare time, she would also ask Xu Zhuoyuan to help repair the old things at home, and Fang Ruo saw him seriously repairing his grandmother's old fan with mechanical tools, and he also leaned over curiously to take a look.

Fang Ruo pointed to the parts in the courtyard and asked, "You can repair these?" ”

Xu Zhuoyuan was sweating profusely, wiping the sweat on his forehead and smiling: "Thanks to the fact that physics is not bad, I have not been dismantling things since I was a child, and my hands-on ability is still a little." ”

Seeing this, Fang Ruo got up and went to the room and filled a bowl of warm water for him to drink.

Grandma sat on the rocking chair next to Xu Zhuoyuan and fanned Xu Zhuoyuan, and said while fanning: "Zhuoyuan, this is too difficult to repair, even if it is too difficult to repair, the old antique doesn't expect it to be able to turn around, but it has been with me for decades, and I am reluctant to throw it away." ”

After hearing this, Xu Zhuoyuan felt that he had to repair this antique fan, and he grinned and said, "Grandma, you wait a while, I will definitely help you fix it." ”

Grandma smiled happily when she heard his words, and responded, "What a good boy, hard work for you." ”

Xu Zhuoyuan's mouth was as sweet as honey, "It's not hard." ”

Fang Ruo saw that Xu Zhuoyuan was busy with the work in his hands, so he simply cleaned the yard by himself.

When she first came to her grandmother's house, the yard was still a mess, with only a skinny loquat tree. Now she and her grandmother take care of the small courtyard together, and they also spread a plot of land to grow some fruits and vegetables. In the summer, melons and fruit vines climb the wall, the loofahs hang high, and the tomatoes in the field are also full of fruit, which is really a vibrant scene.

She swept the ground carefully, and the two chickens raised by her grandmother pulled some excrement on the ground in a blink of an eye, Fang Ruo had to go to the vegetable garden to find some dry soil to clean it up, and when she was working hard, Xu Zhuoyuan on the side exclaimed, "It's repaired!" ”

Fang Ruo put down the broom and ran over to look, after Xu Zhuoyuan connected the power strip, he pressed the switch, only to see that the old fan made a muddy sound of the machine, and the fan blades began to rotate with difficulty. Half a minute later, the fan seemed to be rejuvenated, the noise gradually decreased, the fan blades began to rotate rapidly, and the wind was not small.

Fang Ruo said to Xu Zhuoyuan with a happy face: "It's really repaired!" You're amazing. ”

Grandma clapped her hands on the side, and gave Xu Zhuoyuan a thumbs up again and again to show the joy in her heart.

Xu Zhuoyuan smiled shyly, waved his hand and said, "Grandma, you're welcome." ”

After he washed his hands, Fang Ruo pointed to the door, and then said, "Let's go, I invite you to drink watermelon juice, I have worked hard for you today." ”

Xu Zhuoyuan said with a smile: "Okay, I'll slaughter you today and buy a glass of watermelon juice for 20 yuan." ”

Fang Ruo knew what his ridicule meant, and said with a smile: "You have also become an unscrupulous vendor? ”

Xu Zhuoyuan hooked his hand at Fang Ruo, motioned for her to hurry up, and said, "I will only be your unscrupulous vendor." ”

Fang Ruo ran to his side and shot back: "Flim tongue." ”

After saying that, both of them began to laugh inexplicably, and the heat of the summer day was forgotten.

"By the way, the school organized a summer camp in August, it seems to be going to Miao Village, I heard that there is a bonfire party, do you want to go?"

Xu Zhuoyuan looked at Fang Ruo expectantly, similar summer camp team building activities had been organized in junior high schools before, he had also been there once, but Fang Ruo had never signed up for it, at that time he always felt that Fang Ruo would also come to play together.

Fang Ruo said with a sad face: "I won't go, there is still something at home." ”

There is a lot of money to participate in summer camp, and parents will not agree to such a tour.

Xu Zhuoyuan was anxious when he heard this, and asked her, "What can you do?" You don't need to take care of the family, your parents are at home, and your grandmother will cook by herself. Besides, this trip was not long in coming, only a week, and I came back soon. ”

"Picnics, tents, bonfires, visits to historical sites, so many fun places to visit, don't they appeal to you?"

Fang Ruo said frankly: "My parents..., I shouldn't agree, I have to pay money to sign up for this event, and they won't let me go." ”

Xu Zhuoyuan looked at Fang Ruo in disbelief and found that she was not joking, but calmly saying a very sure fact.

He took a sip uncomfortably, and said with a gloomy face: "Your parents are really bad to you, I think they will buy whatever your brother wants." ”

Fang Ruo shrugged helplessly, it didn't seem that the words that were difficult to say in the past were not inexpressible, probably because the person in front of her was too kind, so that she could say her true thoughts with confidence, and she didn't have to worry that he would laugh and ridicule herself because of this.

"Fang Ruo, if you don't go, I won't go." Xu Zhuoyuan looked at her very firmly, with a heroic expression on his face that looked at death as if he were at home, really like those loyal and upright gentlemen on TV.

Xu Zhuoyuan knew in his heart that if he said that he asked his mother to pay for her to go with him, Fang Ruo would definitely be unhappy. He is not such an ignorant person, at least her emotions, her self-esteem, he will take care of it. Thinking about it this way, it seems that retreating to the same front as her is the best choice.

Fang Ruo was amused by his serious expression, "Don't, don't worry about me, you go there to play, and when the time comes, come back and tell me about your funny things, isn't it equivalent to me going too?" ”

Xu Zhuoyuan said with an exaggerated expression: "How can this be comparable, you haven't really felt it." ”

Fang Ruowan smiled, "Rounding up." ”

Xu Zhuoyuan felt that he was completely impressed by her sudden cuteness.

The two bought a glass of chilled watermelon juice from a nearby drink shop. If the most pleasant thing in summer is watermelon, then the most pleasant thing in hot weather is chilled watermelon.

Seeing that the time was not early, Xu Zhuoyuan also planned to take the car home. Fang Ruo dropped him off at the station and watched him get on the usual No. 7 bus and leave.

Fang Ruo slowly drank watermelon juice and walked in the direction of home, she was wearing pink slippers printed with cute rabbits, wearing a white cotton skirt, and her long brown and black hair was casually draped behind her back, blocking the back of her fair and slender neck. She walked along the green shade under the trees, stepping on the dots of light deep and shallow, which she found very interesting.

As she walked, she felt a gentle pat on her back, thinking that Xu Zhuoyuan was messing with herself again, and just turned back in the car, she turned around and said, "Are you too reluctant to me?" ”

After looking back at the person who came, Fang Ruo's smile instantly froze in the air, and suddenly a few noisy cicadas on the tall trees seemed to laugh at her miscalculation just now.

"How do you know, I really can't bear you."

Chen Zifan pressed the brim of his baseball cap with his hand, and his eyes couldn't hide the ecstasy.

Fang Ruo retracted his smile and frowned and asked, "Why are you here?" ”

She felt a little angry, why is he indispensable everywhere, I thought that I could be clean for a period of time during the summer vacation, but I didn't expect to see him near home again, is it such a coincidence? Was it a real chance encounter or a chance encounter he created?
