Most people think that their time in school is extremely long.

During class, I counted the time minute by minute, and as soon as the school bell rang, everyone was happy and ready to go home.

Tang Zhao was naturally the same, when he packed his schoolbag, Qin Zheng beside him was almost packed.

Chang Le's family lived in the opposite direction of Tang Zhao's house, so Tang Zhao went home alone before.

Tang Zhao recalled the specific time when she took a taxi to her cake shop after sending Qin Zheng the address yesterday, and found that it was impossible to guess where her family lived from this, after all, Tang Zhao didn't know when she went out to take a taxi.

If you stop by, you'll have a companion on the way home.

Chang Le had already picked up his schoolbag and went home, and at the back of the classroom by the window, Tang Zhu was struggling and didn't know how to speak.

His relationship with Qin Zheng wasn't much better, but it was definitely better than anyone in this class.

After all, today is Qin Zheng's first day at school, and on this day, Tang Zhao sees Qin Zheng in his eyes, and the person who has had the most intersections with Qin Zheng must be him.

Tang Qiu thought about it, and finally couldn't help but speak.

"What district is your home in?"

"Why, so interested in me? Want to take me home? ”

"No, I just thought we could go home together if we stopped by."

Seeing Tang Zhao's serious expression, Qin Zheng swallowed back the words that he wanted to tease Tang Zhao later.

"My house is not far from your house."

The two of them went home together, and when they walked out of the gate of the full stop high school, the afterglow of the setting sun happened to shine on them.

The sunset is very beautiful, as moving as the Qin Zheng beside Tang Zheng.

Shencheng is a very quiet city, not because it is small in size and small in population, on the contrary, as a provincial capital, Shencheng is a vast area and densely populated.

It's just that the pace of life in the city is very slow, and it doesn't feel particularly rushed.

"When I used to go to school in Suzhou and Hangzhou, class had just ended at this point in time, and everyone had to go back to the classroom for evening self-study after dinner in the cafeteria, and it went until nine o'clock in the evening, just for the high admission rate in the college entrance examination."

On the way, Qin Zheng told Tang Yu about her life in Suzhou and Hangzhou.

The past is vivid and emotional.

Tang Zhao couldn't empathize, in fact, he was seventeen years old this year, and he had never been far away, not even the city of Shencheng.

Tang Zhao doesn't have any lofty ambitions, and his personality is relatively lazy, so he will go home to inherit his father's cake shop in the future, not to mention that although the cake shop is opened by his family, the pastry chef and clerk are all hired, he can be like his father, and when the time comes, he will be a shopkeeper and don't care about anything.

"Fortunately, life in high school is very easy, and you will feel the joy of studying and living in the future."

"I thought you would say that because of you in full stop high school, I will live happily in the future."

"Please, I don't have the confidence of your stinking and shameless fan, okay......"

While the two of them were waiting for the red street lights on the road, Tang Zhao bought two ice creams from a small shop with a window on the side of the road, and then ran back quickly, handing one to Qin Zheng at the same time.

"It's too hot, let's have an ice cream."

In the face of Tang Zheng's kind move, Qin Zheng took the ice cream, but did not open the package immediately.

"How much is this ice cream, I'll transfer it to you on WeChat."

"No, this ice cream is only a dollar, this is the north, and the ice cream is not that expensive."

"One dollar, Suzhou and Hangzhou need two or three yuan, and dozens of yuan."

"There aren't so many sky-high ice creams here, but this is the Northeast."

While the two of them were talking, the traffic light turned red again, and they could only continue to wait, but fortunately, there was plenty of time to go home leisurely from school, and they were not in a hurry.

It's been a long time since Tang Zhao came home from school with the others.

In the leisurely days when his parents often travel and he is at home alone for a long time, although he is accompanied by a close friend like Chang Le at school, Tang Zhao, as an ordinary high school student, will also feel lonely.

Loneliness is the highest manifestation of freedom.

When he was with Qin Zheng, for some reason, Tang Zhao always felt very relieved.

Qin Zheng has a down-to-earth and generous temperament, which will make people feel very comfortable with her.

In the dusk of Shencheng, there is always the smoke and fire of the city.

The street is not crowded, but there are many shops on the left and right, and the aroma of various foods can be heard in the air from time to time.

"What's that, it smells so good......"

Qin Zheng pointed to a sign in the distance, the boss was standing at the door of the store, the iron plate in front of him was pressing the chicken rack in the hot oil, the aroma permeated the streets and alleys, making people salivate.

"It's a sizzling chicken rack, the iconic delicacy of Shencheng. It is said that not a single chicken in the country can get out of Shencheng alive. ”

"It smells so good, I want to try it."

Qin Zheng took Tang Yu to the vicinity of the store, the chicken rack had been squeezed and fried by the iron plate and dyed with a golden color, and the aroma was fragrant.

"Boss, how do you sell chicken racks?"

"Six pieces a piece."

"Bring me one."

Tang Zhao habitually wanted to scan the code on WeChat to pay, but was stopped by Qin Zheng.

"Boss, please give me two chicken racks."

She spoke to the boss very politely, and her tone hid the grace and gentleness that are exclusive to southern girls.

"Okay."

The boss wiped the sweat from his forehead with the white towel on his shoulder, then took down the two chicken racks from the iron plate one after another, sprinkled them with various spices, and put them into two bags.

"You invite me to eat ice cream, I invite you to eat chicken racks, this is called mutual help."

Qin Zheng took the chicken rack handed over by the boss, handed one to Tang Chao, and then bit down on the chicken rack.

High school girls are the ones who care most about their image, and they generally don't do this kind of thing.

So when Qin Zheng frowned slightly because he bit the bone in one bite, Tang Zheng couldn't help laughing.

"Think about why it's called a chicken rack, it must still be mostly bones."

"It's not a lot of meat, but it's really delicious."

Qin Zheng gave a thumbs up to the boss, and the middle-aged boss smiled and responded with the same action.

"Tang Zhao, why don't you eat it?"

"I'll take it home and eat it in a moment."

"Tsk, I didn't expect you guy to care a lot about the image, hurry up and eat, you'll be cold when you go home in a while."

"How can it get cold so fast......"

Although he said this, Tang Zhao was still like Qin Zheng, standing on the side of the road and starting to eat with the chicken rack.

Chicken racks can be seen everywhere on the streets of Shencheng, but it is not common for beautiful girls to eat sizzling chicken racks with relish on the streets.

Because he was eating too intently, Qin Zheng had some seasoning on the side of his mouth, but he didn't realize it yet.

Tang Qi took out a tissue from his pocket and pulled out one, he originally wanted to hand it to Qin Zheng and let her wipe the spices on the corner of her mouth, but she stopped handing the tissue to Qin Zheng like a ghost.

He held a tissue in his hand and reached out to Qin Zheng's lips.

Qin Zheng was holding the chicken rack with both hands, and although he was surprised for a moment when he saw Tang Xuan's movements, he did not dodge.

Tang Xi carefully helped Qin Zheng wipe the spices from the corners of his mouth, and when he withdrew his hand again, the atmosphere fell into a short silence.

"You know, my dad used to use a tissue to help my mom wipe the food on the corners of her mouth, and at that time I didn't understand, obviously such a simple little thing, my mom can do it herself, why every time my dad has to take the initiative to do it. My dad said to me at the time, "You'll understand when you grow up." ”

Qin Zheng was slightly stunned when he heard this, and stopped eating the chicken rack because of Tang Xi's calm words.

The setting sun covers the entire alley with a warm veil.

"So, now you understand?"

Facing the inquiry of the girl beside him, Tang Zhao only tilted his head slightly and squinted and smiled, but did not answer directly.

"Let's go home."

Tang Zheng took a step forward and left, and Qin Zheng hurriedly followed behind.

"Hey, Tang Xuan, how can you talk halfway!"

Under the setting sun, the shadow of two people going home side by side was stretched long.

In the fireworks of the city, the sound of their conversation poured into the sky, burrowing into the blue sky and white clouds, and enduring.
