Luckily, the voice I just shouted wasn't loud, and she didn't see me.

She put the handbag in her hand on the sofa, slowly sat down beside Zhang Huaixu, her voice trembled slightly, and put her hand on Zhang Huaixu's shoulder.

"Zhang Huaixu, don't be afraid, you still have me........"

When Zhang Huaixu raised his head, he looked like a child holding back tears and suddenly saw his mother, contrary to his previous forbearance, unfathomable, took off all his strength and disguise, leaned on her arms, and cried hoarsely.

He had never burst into tears in front of me.

The porridge in my hand was still hot, but I silently put it back, I thought, he didn't need this bowl of porridge anymore, maybe he didn't need me all along.

It is said that a strong person can show his vulnerable side in front of you, then it proves that he has given his softest side to you.

Some relationships, like An Yuqiu and Zhang Huaixu. Growing up together, relying on each other, they all know each other well. And no matter how hard I try, this kind of relationship will not be achieved.

Time speaks for itself and has crushed many people, including me.

I said so many words to comfort him, but I couldn't match An Yuqiu's words:

"You still have me........"

The relationship between them can be understood without opening their mouths to comfort, and I, who appeared late, are destined to have a blank time without them.

"Really, such a big person, I don't even have stomach medicine, how long do you want to rub my medicine box, idiot........" Hagaoka complained dissatisfiedly, rummaging through the cabinets outside.

When I poked my head out again, Zhang Huaixu had already fallen asleep on the sofa, and Yuqiu sighed slowly and turned his head to look at me.

She held out two fingers and made a gesture to go over there.

I followed her back to her room.

She sat on her bed, looking around, while I stood in the doorway, silent, occasionally looking at each other, and quickly avoiding it.

The soft lighting could not melt the awkward atmosphere.

"What's wrong? I'm back, aren't you welcoming me? Hagaoka asked me with a sudden smile.

Seeing that I didn't answer, she nodded.

"Well, I'm here today because, Zhang Huaixu's mother passed away, do you know? At the funeral, Zhang Huaixu collapsed, I didn't expect that this incident would give him such a big blow, I thought that he didn't care about his mother's affairs at all, it turned out that he was just stubborn ......."

She paused, glanced at my expression, took out a pack of cigarettes from her pocket, took one out of it, held it between her slender pale fingers, slowly put it to her mouth, took a shallow breath, but it was a long time before she spit it out gently.

"So........ We're still good friends, right? ”

I nodded, and shook my head again.

I always feel that she is different from before, except that the makeup on her face has become more intense and delicate, and even her personality seems to have changed a little subtly, I'm not sure, she is still not the An Yuqiu I know.

Seeing that I had been staring at the cigarette in her hand, she smiled faintly and snuffed out the cigarette butt.

"You don't like the smell of smoke, do you?"

"Hagaoka," I couldn't help but ask her, "how did you learn to smoke?" ”

"You say this, they can all know the people over there, so I just learned it, we're all adults, it's normal."

"Oh........."

The atmosphere didn't seem to have eased because of what I just said. Two people who are obviously very familiar with each other, why haven't they seen each other for a while, and they are like strangers.

"What about Mu Xi, did he confess to you?" Hagaoka glanced at me thoughtfully, and then quickly turned her head, as if my eyes and words were a poisonous thorn that would sink deep into her heart.

I didn't answer, and she didn't ask me. He just stood up, passed me by, and then smiled back and whispered in my ear:

"Sometimes, little pigeon, I wish you could go crazy. It's not easy to meet someone you like, if you like him too, then be brave. If you cringe at such a good age, you will regret it when you grow up......... However, I will not bless you. She said this to me in an old-fashioned manner, as if she had experienced.

She was so close that I could see her eyes. It was as clear and translucent as before, and at that moment, I knew, my An Yuqiu, she was still there, and she hadn't changed. Between us, it will not change.

Her words lasted through my next ten years, but I still failed to learn what she said about bravery. I thought to myself, wait a minute, wait a little longer, what if, what if the day is long.........

Hagaoka pressed a few numbers on my phone, left her new phone number, and hurried back to drawing.

I heard that she sneaked out over the wall and took a three-hour car ride to get here.

After Zhang Huaixu woke up, his face softened a lot, but the whole person looked very unenergetic, tired and half-leaning on the chair, and the bowl of porridge in front of him was still steaming.

"Are you awake?" I sat down at the table and watched as the corners of his mouth tugged slightly.

You did it on purpose, you did it on purpose, you knew it, but you pretended not to know.......

In my mind, the words rang out again, and my ears hurt a little. I was confused, staring straight at the green onions in the porridge.

"Smack.........

I seemed to hear the sound of something falling, and when I looked up, I saw a tear fall from my eye directly into the bowl, leaving a crystal mark in the air, fleeting.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Huaixu asked me. There was not a trace of tears on his face, his voice was steady, but his eyes were bloodshot.

"It's fine." I bowed my head and took a sip of porridge.

"Otherwise, I'll help you take a day off, you didn't sleep well last night, so you can rest at home today."

"Nope." Zhang Huaixu put down the dishes and chopsticks, "If you don't do well in the exam, you shouldn't be able to participate in the early enrollment, and at this time, I won't ask for leave." ”

He put away the dishes and chopsticks in a decent manner and went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.

Although Zhang Huaixu doesn't have a young master's temper, he doesn't like to do housework, he has always thrown these things to me if he can, and never did it himself.

"I'll wash the dishes later."

As I put the rest of the bowl into the kitchen, he suddenly said something indifferent.

As soon as Zhang Huaixu stepped into the school gate, the watering can pulled him away, saying that he wanted to talk to him.

This whole morning, Zhang Huaixu did not come back, I looked at the dark clouds outside the window, and my heart was dull.

"Heaven and earth, Taishang Laojun bless me to get the first place in liberal arts in this model exam........"

There was a whispered chanting mantra in his ears, and when he turned his head, he saw a paper paste on the table over there, and the owner of the table was praying with his hands folded and praying sincerely.

Maybe it's because the Buddha statue looks so strange, it looks like he's practicing Fa X Gong.

Sitting next to me, across a corridor and a seat of the boy, his name is Sun Chao, very white, wearing a pair of highly myopic glasses, facial features are very ordinary, on weekdays, I heard Hao Jianren call him Sun Lao Er, is a person who wants to compete for the first place everywhere no matter when, where and where he is, but there is Zhang Huaixu in the way, and after Lu Yuanzhi, who is a sophomore in high school, his words are full of the superiority of an honor student.

I have a slight impression of him.

When I first entered the school, he helped me guide the way, not so much as helping me guide the way, but rather as he walked in front and followed behind. Along the way, he held the textbook and looked at it very carefully, occasionally frowning at me, as if to blame me for wasting his time.

"Yo, Second Sun, what's the matter, Zhang Huaixu didn't take the first mock exam this time, you can finally have a chance to get on the top, right?" Hao Jianren tapped him on the shoulder with some teasing, picked up his Buddhist statue of a man folded with paper, and sat down next to me.

"That's right, Second Brother Monkey has been waiting for a long time." A boy laughed and responded.

"Cut, you poor students, if you don't get it, you will be jealous, let me tell you, even if Zhang Huaixu participates in the first mold, this time the first, it will definitely be me." Sun Chao rolled his eyes disdainfully, snatched it back from Hao Jianren's hand, flattened his mouth, and stuffed it into a drawer at once.

"Little pigeon, you found Zhang Huaixu yesterday, he's fine." Hao Jianren turned around and asked me, "I also went to look for him yesterday, but I didn't find him, where do you think he can be lost by such an older person?" ”

"Don't worry, he's back, and now he's over the watering can."

"Hey, I'm really heartbroken for this son, I'm an endangered person and I have to worry about him, a Tsinghua seedling, I'm really ..........."

"Who is the son, and what are you talking about?" Zhang Huaixu's voice suddenly sounded faintly from behind.

Hao Jianren immediately restrained Fang Cai's arrogance, and stood aside hehe, admitting his guilt. "Yo, you're finally here, I'm worried about you."

I originally thought that Hao Jianren's parents were too embarrassed to give him this name, but now it seems that it is reasonable.......

"I'm not a kid anymore, and besides, it's not a big deal."

He pursed his lips subconsciously.

He lied.

"By the way, what are you doing with the watering can, it's mysterious."

"It's nothing, it's just for me to go to an Olympia competition, and if I can get a place, he can try to help me get a place in the guarantee."

"Really!" Hao Jianren shouted at Sun Chao arrogantly, "Did you hear that, my brother is going to participate in the Olympia, and he has to be escorted, how can there be such a scenery in the first place in the model exam." ”

Such provocations have disappeared in adult society. When we were young, we may not hate each other so much, but our words are perverse, and when we grow up, we hate someone very much, but we also smile.
