Can't hide

After going back to the dormitory to recuperate for a few days, Jiang Sui's pain disappeared, and he became active again. He woke up earlier than Duan Zhuo every day, and his whereabouts were erratic.One night, Duan Zhuo called him more than ten times, wanting to ask him if he would like to eat supper, but no one answered, he was in a hurry.

Because Jiang Sui's mobile phone is usually turned on 24 hours a day, there is no time when he cannot be contacted.

Later, Cheng Ziyao told Duan Zhuo that a national short-track speed skating competition will be held in Shanghai in February, and everyone in the team is preparing for it, and this time they represent the provincial team. Nancheng provincial team training kilometers away, and come back together at night.

The coach of the provincial team is strict, and everyone is not allowed to bring mobile phones during training.

It's also strange that when Jiang Sui got busy, Mr. J didn't even reply to his messages.

Two times, Duan Zhuo sent him a message early in the morning, saying that he was going to class, and it was almost noon before Mr. J replied with two words: "Good afternoon".

Another time was the most exaggerated. Duan Zhuo saw a rainbow after the rain in the afternoon, and happily took pictures to share. As a result, Mr. J replied with "Wow, beautiful" the next day, followed by "I want to go first Let's eat, let's talk later."

This reply was too perfunctory, and made Duan Zhuo very depressed. He wondered if he had offended the other party with something, so he went back and looked through the chat records for a whole month, and made sure that the other party was not neglected before he was relieved.

It is estimated that Mr. J is too busy with work and has no leisure time to appreciate it.

Then came the busy final exam week, it was hard to get a seat in the library and self-study room, Duan Zhuo simply stayed in the dormitory to study, Jiang Sui and Cheng Ziyao didn’t come back until eleven o’clock every day, brushed their teeth in turn, lay down and took a nap Say hello and fall asleep.

Throughout January, what Duan Zhuo and Jiang Sui said was not as much as that night in the hospital. It’s not that he didn’t take the initiative, but that Jiang Sui looked very tired every day. sounded.

One night, Jiang Sui was so confused that he threw the shoes into the washing machine.

Duan Zhuo returned to the days when he washed alone, ate alone, and studied alone. In fact, when he recalled the beginning of school, he came here like this. At that time, he didn't feel that there was anything wrong, but now he felt very dull.

It was also because of this preparation training that Duan Zhuo suddenly discovered that it was not life itself that became interesting, but Jiang Sui's existence that made his life interesting.

The exam week is over, the school is on holiday, the students have dinner and relax, pack their luggage, the apartment building is buzzing all day and night, and in the afternoon of the next day, Duan Zhuo takes the elevator upstairs again, and there are basically no people in sight.

The classmates who bought the tickets all went home, but he hadn't decided where to go yet, so he searched the Internet for part-time jobs during the winter vacation.

There was a familiar sound of footsteps in the corridor, and almost at the same time he turned his head, the door was pushed open.

Duan Zhuo was overjoyed, and the corner of his mouth seemed to be pulled up by something: "Why did you come back so early today?"

Jiang Sui and Cheng Ziyao entered the door together and put down their things.

"The training period is over, and we will relax a little bit next." Cheng Ziyao said, "We are going to go out for a walk, do you want to come together?"

Duan Zhuo was stunned: "Where are you going?"

Jiang Sui got into the bathroom, washed his hands and said, "Temples, it's New Year's Eve. We're going to burn incense sticks and hug Buddha's feet. Do you have this custom over there?"

"No."

After answering, Duan Zhuo felt that it might not be correct. There was also a temple in their hometown, and some people went to burn incense and worship during Chinese New Year, but his parents never took him there.

Out of curiosity, Duan Zhuo went out with them, probably because he hadn't participated in group activities for too long. The moment he stepped into the rental, Duan Zhuo felt the excitement he hadn't seen for a long time, like going on an outing when he was a child.

I don't know where the destination is, and I don't know what the destination is, I only know that it must be beautiful.

The high-rise buildings of the city flashed in front of his eyes, and in about 10 minutes, the taxi stopped at a street corner.

Duan Zhuo got out of the car and found that this is not only a temple, but also a tourist attraction. An old street is built along the river, extending southward. The bluestone slab bridge spans the river and connects the old-fashioned residential houses with blue tiles and white walls.

The colorful lanterns on the street are glazed, and the red lanterns are matched with long tassels, which is full of New Year flavor.

"Have you visited the ancient town before?" Jiang Sui turned his face and asked Duan Zhuo.

"No, I've never been out of the island before."

Jiang Sui laughed, but there was no irony in that smile.

"Then I will take you around for a while. This street is several kilometers long, and at the end is the temple."

Walking along the street, Duan Zhuo smelled the scent of wintersweet flowers, but was soon overwhelmed by the scent of various foods. Cheng Ziyao bought a baked sweet potato half the size of his face from a grandfather. When he opened it, it was steaming. Also runny syrup.

Grandpa handed them the plastic spoon and said, "Use this to dig and eat."

Because it was too hot, they walked for a while before they started eating. Cheng Ziyao yelled, "Why did you give us two spoons?"

Jiang Sui said, "You eat first."

Cheng Ziyao burst into tears from the first mouthful, opened his mouth wide and took several breaths.

"Damn, Jutian, I feel like I'm going to get diabetes after eating the whole thing." Then, he handed the sweet potato to Duan Zhuo's hand, and with his tongue still hanging out, he mumbled, "I'm scalded to death."

Duan Zhuo dug a spoonful, blew on it, and fed it to the side. Jiang Sui, like a dog, opened his mouth to take it without thinking: "Well, it's really sweet. I've never eaten such a sweet sweet potato."

Cheng Ziyao: "Look, you just haven't been in the field. This thing is called sweet potato, not sweet potato."

"is it?"

"If you don't believe me, check it online."

Jiang Sui really took out the phone: "This looks about the same."

"It's almost the same everywhere, but the shape is different!"

"Fart, you are illiterate, it's obviously the same, sweet potatoes are also called sweet potatoes."

"Then you search, the difference between sweet potatoes and sweet potatoes."

Duan Zhuo didn't join their discussion, he dug another spoonful, blew on it, and put it in his mouth.

It was amazing that he actually felt happy walking in this completely unfamiliar street on this festival with no special significance.

The snacks in the old street are dazzling, and they were already full when they walked halfway. The moment Cheng Ziyao stepped into the gate of the temple, he burped loudly. Even the young one laughed.

Cheng Ziyao rubbed his belly and said, "It's bad, I just ate a rabbit's head, the Bodhisattva won't blame me, right?"

Duan Zhuo said: "The Bodhisattva should not be so lenient."

Jiang Sui smiled and said, "That's not necessarily true."

Cheng Ziyao: "However, I have almost digested it all this way. Even if her eyes are CT, she can't scan what I eat. I feel that I have reached the intestines now."

Jiang Sui wrinkled his nose: "You are a bit disgusting."

Many people came to the temple to burn incense during the New Year, and they basically followed the flow of people. Duan Zhuo entered the Grand View Garden and found everything strange. Thanks to Jiang Sui's explanation, he got to know many Bodhisattvas.

The most people lined up in front of the God of Wealth Temple, and the most offerings, followed by Marriage Bodhisattva, Sending Son Avalokitesvara.

Cheng Ziyao rushed to Marriage Bodhisattva, kowtowed three times, and put incense money into the merit box, babbling.

Duan Zhuo didn't need to listen to know that it must have something to do with the senior sister. What was puzzling was that after Cheng Ziyao broke up the marriage, he immediately kowtowed to Songzi Guanyin several times, and he didn't know what he was begging for.

Jiang Sui was also full of curiosity. When Cheng Ziyao came out, he immediately asked, "Why are you begging to send Guanyin to you? You are not married."

Cheng Ziyao: "I'm thinking, they are both in the sky, maybe they are good friends, I asked Guanyin to bring a message to Marriage Bodhisattva."

Duan Zhuo was speechless until he burst out laughing.

In the backyard of the temple, there are towering apricot trees. This is the place where you can make wishes. Red ribbons are all over the branches, but it costs money to make wishes.

Why does it cost money to make a wish?

The evening wind blows, as if stirring the young man's heart.

Duan Zhuo hesitated for a while, but still took out the 20 yuan, and finished writing the wish in two or three strokes.

Jiang Sui was still pouted on the table, brewing, glanced at Duan Zhuo's ribbon and said, "Why are you so fast? What did you write, let me learn from it."

Duan Zhuo put away the ribbon, walked out of the door and said, "It won't work after reading it."

In order to prevent tourists from climbing trees without authorization, the ribbons were all tied by temple monks, and the three ribbons were finally tied together.

One is the desire for love, one carries dreams, and the last one seems to be the most greedy. It reads: "I wish Jiang Sui's dreams come true."
