For the next few days, I stayed at home in a daze, thinking about what my parents had said.

Sometimes I open the 'drawer' and look for photos from my junior high school days.

But then I suddenly remembered that I had 'rubbed' all of them and threw them away.

I lay weakly on the bed, thinking about some messy things.

Sometimes think about Wang Ning, Tang Mengshuo, where are they now? What has become of it? Sometimes I think about Yaoyue again, thinking about when she will come back, and how nice it would be if she was by my side at this time.

Staying at home for days, bored like mold.

Once my mother couldn't help but say, "Anan, don't stay at home all the time, you'll be suffocated, go out and breathe." ”

Of course I wanted to, but when I got outside, who could I go to?

There seems to be a lot of loneliness and boredom everywhere in this city, and even though I grew up in the same place, it seems to be so alien to me.

But my mother let me go, and I had no choice but to go out with a few pieces of change. After going out on the street, I still don't find it interesting, there is really nothing to do alone.

In desperation, I went to a nearby Internet café.

This is a black Internet café, the kind that can be used without an ID card. The Internet café was full of the noisy voices of children, and some adults put their feet on their chairs and picked at their feet while watching movies. I found a place to sit down, surrounded by strange smells, sweat, smoke, and feet, and after staying for a long time, I seemed to feel like I was one of the origins of this smell.

These cafes are much more 'chaotic' than those that are regular, because there are no formal regulations and restrictions, and the sanitary conditions are extremely poor. It's just that I can't ask for so much to pass the time.

I randomly turned on the computer, clicked on a game at random, and began to indulge in online games.

Stare at the glowing computer screen and watch the characters in the game fight and kill. While playing, I heard a loud 'door' voice: "Boss, open the machine!" I felt something familiar about the voice, and I couldn't help but look up.

It was a boy my age, with unkempt hair and slippers, a little sloppy.

And it turned out to be someone I knew!

He was my junior high school classmate named Teruko. Even though we hadn't seen each other in years, I recognized him at first sight because he had basically not changed.

Keiko is a boy with a lot of nerves, and no matter who he talks to, he will unconsciously raise his voice. But when I was in junior high school, I basically didn't have any 'intersection', I belonged to the kind of person who had no enmity and nothing to do with him, and we barely spoke more than five sentences in a class in more than a year in junior high school. But this was normal, and there were many people in the class who didn't talk to me more than five sentences, because I was the boy with the lowest presence in the class at that time.

After thinking about it, I still haven't decided to say hello to him, and he is not a very familiar person, maybe he doesn't know me now.

So I didn't say anything and continued to play my game.

Unexpectedly, Keiko recognized me.

He saw me at the first glance after the bar turned on, and then walked straight over and patted me on the shoulder: "Huh? Are you Ji Nan? His voice was so loud that he was afraid that others would not hear him, which attracted the attention of people around the Internet café.

I didn't expect him to recognize me, and I couldn't have pretended not to know me. I turned around and smiled at him, "Oh, it's you, Teruko." ”

"Haha, is it really you?" Keiko looked surprised: "You came out of the juvenile detention center?" "He moved a stool and sat next to me.

I said lightly, "Well, I came out a year ago." "Everyone in the class knew that I was sent to a juvenile detention center, but they didn't know why.

"Haha, I didn't expect to meet my old classmates here, it's been a long time." Teruko put her arm around my shoulders and smiled happily, as if she knew me well.

I looked at him suspiciously, as if I didn't know him. He didn't bother to talk to me before, okay? Is this taking the wrong 'medicine' today? Or has it been all the time since it turned 'sex'?

He didn't seem to care about my strange eyes at all, and still said with a grin, "What are you doing every day now?" Work? Or just clubbing here? "In his eyes, when I came out of the juvenile detention center, I could only work.

I said, "I'm out of town, and I'm on summer vacation, so I'm coming back." ”

His eyes widened: "Really? Is there still a school willing to come out of the juvenile detention center? ”

I said lightly: "'Private' school. ”

He suddenly said, "Oh, no wonder, it's the kind of school that you can go to if you have money, right?" ”

I know that he didn't say these things specifically against me to stab me, but that his own 'sexual' personality is like this, he is straightforward and fast-talking, and he speaks without thinking about it at all.

But it's also somewhat unpleasant. I didn't speak, silently staring at the computer screen 'manipulating' the mouse and keyboard.

I thought that when he saw that I was lukewarm, he should have walked away on his own, right? Unexpectedly, he shouldered my shoulder again and said, "Hey, this game is so boring, is it fun to play?" ”

I yawned, my eyes not taking my eyes off the screen: "It's to pass the time." ”

Keiko laughed again, squeezed her eyebrows and said to me, "In that case, why don't you go with me to find the thorn 'excited', what's the matter?" ”

It caught my attention, and I raised my eyebrows and turned my head to look at him.

"Stinging 'excited'?" I squinted, "I said Keiko, what are you doing now?" Don't go to school anymore? ”

Keiko scratched his head a little embarrassedly: "Hey, you don't know my grades, you can't pass the high school exam, you are too lazy to go to the vocational college, and you have to 'spend' too much money to establish a 'private' school." I couldn't help it, so my dad let me come out to work. But it's hard to work in society now! I've changed jobs seven or eight times, no, I lost my job the other day. ”

I smiled helplessly in my heart, and looked at him with pruning eyes: "Then you said that you are looking for thorns 'excited', yes?" ……”

Teiko said, "I, I don't think it's interesting to go to school now, and it's not interesting to work part-time, even if you graduate from college?" After coming out, you still have to work for others, and you will be blinded by others! Teiko smiled, 'revealed' a very mysterious look, and lowered her voice in my ear: "Do you know, what have I been doing lately? ”

I shook my head, "What are you doing?" ”

"I, I recently met a very powerful big brother on the road, and I'm following him now!" As she spoke, Keiko squeezed her eyebrows at me and said, "The one on the road is the one on the road, you understand?" ”

"......" I smiled wryly: "Hmm...... I guess I understand. ”

"Hehe, he said, in the future, cover me, where do you need to work? Just bragging and 'forced' to fight every day, the money is coming, no one dares to provoke you, and when he sees you, he has to call his brother. Huizi smiled and hooked my shoulder: "Ji Nan, I don't think you should go to any 'private' school, it's a lot of 'waste'!" It's better to follow me 'mess around', it just so happens that I don't have a few people around me now......"

As soon as I heard it, I finally understood what he meant, he wanted me to be his little brother?

No wonder he was so enthusiastic about me as soon as he came in and saw me, pretending to be very familiar with me, and he was waiting for me here.

I smiled helplessly and said, "I'll forget it, I'll go to school in two months." ”

"Hey, what are you going to! That's all useless stuff! Huizi waved his hand and said, "Ji Nan, you listen to me, 'mess around' with me, I promise you won't regret it." Imagine how refreshing it feels to be able to step on someone's head in the future, when no one dares to bully you in the future......"

Keiko kept persuading me, fooling me, and I always wanted to politely reject him. But this kid seems to be very patient, I have finished two games in the game, and he is still talking about it beside me, telling me what is good about following him, and how good it is to be that big brother he recognizes.

I was a little helpless, and I couldn't help but smile bitterly in my heart, but he didn't do anything to me, and I had no enmity and no malice, and I couldn't slap him in the face to let him go......

Huizi himself seemed to be thirsty, raised his head and drank a sip of mineral water, and then his eyes rolled, and he seemed to think of some ghost idea: "Then this is Ji Nan, you are bored to stay here anyway, aren't you?" Why don't you follow me now? ”
