At night, there was still heat on the ground, and the wind blowing in was a bit cool, and you could hear the sound of square dance music coming from the park not far away. Lu Li accompanied him out of the community, and stood under the street lights waiting for the driver.

Li Huaiyu pinched the forehead and said to Lu Li, "Let's go?"

Lu Li watched his movements and asked, "Have a headache?"

"There are some, let's go."

"Otherwise, you'd better stay here tonight and go back early tomorrow morning."

"No, tomorrow is the day for grandma's regular physical examination. I have to go there early. The weather has been hot recently and grandma's appetite has been bad. Then I will see the gastroenterology department by the way."

"Then let's go, it won't delay the driver to pick you up."

"It's okay. It will take a while for him to come over. I'll let him go out later."

"Where are you going?"

"I remember the school is nearby, let's go over there and have a look."

"it is good."

Lu Li was very familiar with that road, and neither of them spoke in silence.When passing Wutong Street, the tall plane trees intertwined with each other, cutting the lights into mottled shadows. Many couples walking hand in hand on both sides of the street chased each other’s shadows and stomped on each other. Some couples went out for a walk after dinner and came out at night. dog walkers.

Probably because of the alcohol, Lu Li started to play around and purposely slowed down his pace a step slower than Li Huaiyu.Lu Li walked behind and looked at the shadows of the two of them one behind the other. Occasionally, the two of them moved closer, and the shadow gave the illusion that they were holding hands. Occasionally, he walked faster or slower, adjusting to match the shadow of the person in front. With the movements, one can also enjoy playing alone.

He half turned around and was stretching out his hand to indicate the position of the shadow in front of him, making a gesture of stroking his hair with his hand, but the shadow suddenly stopped, the shadow's head turned sideways, and half of his face could be seen clearly. Silhouette, Lu Li also stopped, turned his head and saw the owner of the shadow smiling at him, and glanced at the shadows of the two from the corner of his eye, Lu Li stretched out of his wits, and said with a smile, "Why did you stop suddenly?" gone."

Li Huaiyu didn't expose him either: "Wait a minute, you've been walking behind me."

So Lu Li had no choice but to take the first half step and walk side by side with him.

Going out of Wutong Street and crossing the road is Nanting No. [-] High School. There is nothing to see at night. After the college entrance examination, the school building has no lights, and it is dark inside. There are only many people walking in the playground next to it.

The two walked to the school gate and looked at the plaque at the gate. They said that the students who graduated from this place later became educators and calligraphers, and then returned to their alma mater to inscribe.The two had no intention of going in. The security guard saw the two people parked at the school gate and came out of the security room, "What are you two doing here?"

"Just take a look, I used to be a student here, come back and take a look." Lu Li stepped forward to answer, maybe he still smelled of alcohol, the security guards were afraid that they were here to make trouble, so they didn't let them come forward, approached to see the two The person looks good, and his manners are moderate, so his tone is also relaxed, "There is nothing to see at night, and the school won't let you in."

"Well, let's go."

The two of them didn't intend to enter the school, but just walked here. Lu Li had been here many times before, and this time he accompanied Li Huaiyu to have a look.

"Student Street is ahead, do you want to go there?"

"Are you tired?" Li Huaiyu asked because he was afraid that Lu Li would be tired.

"I'm not tired, the smell of alcohol is still strong on my body, the security probably also smelled of alcohol, fearing that we might get drunk in the past, so I can walk around to sober up."

"Then go for a walk. You have a short vacation, and it may take some time before we meet again."

"Yeah." Lu Li responded happily.

When I walk alone or with my friends, my mood is somewhat different from when I walk with two people now.

Seeing the familiar street scene, there is still a lot of traffic and people in the middle of the night, and occasionally there are some tourist groups holding the guide flags and leading the unified Little Red Riding Hood.The two walked along the street, but it was a bit crowded on weekends.The two got closer to each other, blocking some people for each other. Li Huaiyu was afraid that the two would get separated, so he reached out and grabbed Lu Li's wrist. Fortunately, there were so many people that no one noticed the two men holding hands.As Lu Li was being held by the hand, his heartbeat couldn't stop faster. He looked down at the wrists held by the two of them. As long as his hand was pulled up a little, the two of them would become interlocking fingers.

A whisper came from the side, "Those two people are gay, I saw them holding hands."

"Where."

The man put his arms around his girlfriend's shoulders, and secretly raised his chin towards them.

"I can't see, let's walk slowly." The girl whispered and then pulled her boyfriend to walk slowly behind them.

"Don't follow, what's so good about being gay."

"I saw it for the first time to see what it looked like."

The eyes of the two people flickered to look at them, but they didn't dare to stare at them blatantly.

Lu Li didn't pull his hands away, and moved closer to Li Huaiyu to cover the hands they were holding. Then he turned his head and frowned and looked at the two of them. The warning in it was self-evident.

The girl knew she was wrong and pulled her boyfriend aside, and said the last sentence a little louder, "So handsome, have you seen it?"

People around the two looked at the couple, even Li Huaiyu looked over suspiciously.

Lu Li met his eyes and said, "Let's find a place with few people for a walk, it's too crowded."

Li Huaiyu pulled Lu Li to a place where there were fewer people, and then told him to wait where he was, "Wait here for me." Then he walked to a drink shop opposite.

Lu Li looked at the figure of that person across the street and the crowd, feeling a little lost.I remembered that when they were in high school, they also liked to come to this street to play after school. At that time, he met Li Huaiyu several times here by chance, and he only saw his back like this, the boy who was wearing a white shirt and black school trousers back then. His figure is tall and thin.

At that time, he heard about him everywhere, and met him several times inside and outside the school, but the two were separated by two years, and there was no intersection at the same place, and he had no reason to go forward. Pat him on the back and greet him with a smile.

Today's young man has become a mature and elegant man after many years, and his stature is also taller than before. The Lu Li of many years ago and many years later seemed to overlap, and walked behind him unconsciously and patted him on the shoulder.

Li Huaiyu turned around and saw Lu Li walking beside him, smiled at him and said, "Wait a little longer, it will be over soon."

Lu Li looked into his eyes and said with a smile, "Okay."

Li Huaiyu was fascinated by his bright smile. The two seemed to be back in high school. Lu Li stepped forward, and he happened to turn around to see him. The two were dressed in the same student attire. One had clear eyebrows, and a warm and brilliant smile, which made people unable to take their eyes off. , a gentle and handsome, gentle and deep eyes are like a deep pool, inviting people to indulge.

At this moment, it seems that the wine that has been aged for many years has been opened, and the hearts of the people here are intoxicated.

The male receptionist in the beverage store smiled and handed two glasses of grapefruit juice to Li Huaiyu, "Hello, your two glasses of grapefruit juice are ready, welcome to visit next time."

Li Huaiyu handed one of the glasses to Lu Li: "Sober up, tomorrow won't be so uncomfortable."

The two adults walked and drank drinks like high school students, which naturally attracted some people's attention. They walked through the cold alley and went to the riverside to watch the night view and enjoy the breeze.

The two chatted while walking along the river.Suddenly Lu Li was pulled by a little boy's sleeve.

Lu Li knelt down and looked at the little boy and asked, "What's your name, did you get lost?"

When the little boy saw that he was wronged, he looked at him and said nothing.

Li Huaiyu also knelt down and asked, "Do you know the phone numbers of mom and dad?" The child still didn't answer.

"Send it to the nearby police station to see if any parents have reported it." Li Huaiyu said to Lu Li.

"Ah."

The two wanted to hold the child's hand, but the child refused to move.

After a while, the two heard someone shout: "Captain Lu is really you, I still don't believe Xixi said it was you."

The boy's mother stepped forward and took the little boy's hand.The little boy obediently stood beside his mother and looked up at Lu Li.

It was only then that Lu Li realized that he was an acquaintance. He didn't pay close attention to the little boy at first, but now he realized that he was the mother and child of a family of three who were rescued on a fire mission last year.

"Coincidentally, I didn't recognize it. I thought it was a lost child." Seeing that the little boy didn't greet him, Lu Li bent down and patted his head in a funny way, "Have you not calmed down yet?"

"Xixi said he saw you, but I didn't pay attention. Who knew he ran into the crowd all of a sudden, with sharp eyes, so he didn't recognize the wrong person." Sixi's mother saw Lu Li and pushed him on the back and said, "Why not?" It's impolite to say hello to Uncle Lu and Uncle Lu."

Only then did Xixi go forward and shouted to the two of them, "Hello, Uncle."

"Hi, don't run around next time." Lu Li patted his head with a smirk and added, "Remember to finish your homework early this summer."

"Then Captain Lu, you play. Let's go first. See you, Xixi and my uncles."

"Goodbye, uncle." The boy Xixi waved to Lu Li depressedly, took his mother's hand and walked away.

Li Huaiyu smiled and asked Lu Li what happened to that child.

It's funny to say that last year, a fire broke out at the little boy's house, and the detachment Lu Li was in charge of went to put out the fire and rescue the fire. During the rescue, Lu Li saw a schoolbag near the source of the fire, and by accident, he took the schoolbag out, and when the fire was all extinguished, Lu Li handed the schoolbag he picked up to the boy's mother, and the little boy beside him turned pale when he saw what Lu Li was holding.

The little boy's mother took the schoolbag and thanked Lu Li, saying, "Fortunately, I brought it out, otherwise I wouldn't be able to hand in the homework."

The little boy named Xixi was crying and thanking Lu Li at the urging of his mother. It was only later that Lu Li found out that the little boy hadn't started writing his summer homework yet, but school would start in a few days. In fact, thinking about it, the source of the fire happened in the kitchen. , The schoolbag was thrown by the kitchen door, it wasn't accidental, probably the little boy wanted to take this opportunity to set fire to his homework, and told the school that it was justifiable, but Lu Li accidentally destroyed it.

"No wonder the child saw your sad face."

"Probably when I saw me, I thought of the summer homework I was rushing to do."

The two of them coincidentally remembered the little boy struggling to do his summer homework with a sour face and writing, and both laughed unkindly.

"Go back." Li Huaiyu looked at the time, the smell of alcohol on the two of them was almost gone, and it was a bit late, so he sent a message to the driver at home to pick him up.

"Well, let's go."

The two turned their heads and walked back slowly. When they arrived at the gate of the community, the driver was a man in his 50s, who was already waiting at the gate.

Li Huaiyu handed him the keys, and the driver opened the rear door for Li Huaiyu. Li Huaiyu signaled to wait. Seeing that the two of them should say goodbye, he got into the driver's seat and waited.

"Go back and rest early, I'll let you walk with me tonight."

"It's nothing, you should rest early."

"Well, let's go." Li Huaiyu got into the car, pressed the window and waved to him, "See you next time."

Lu Li smiled and waved to him, "Okay, see you next time."

Lu Li watched the car drive away, and then entered the community and went up the stairs in three steps at a time.The door of Zhao Qiaoan's room was closed but there was light leaking from the crack of the door, she was probably still playing games, Mother Lu went back to the room to rest after washing, and Lu Li returned to the room to rest as well.
