Difficult to heal

The third year of senior high school had a lot of homework, and once the opening ceremony was over, they immediately entered the high-intensity review.

Time flies, before the residual heat of September has faded and the sycamore trees have not fallen, it is mid-term in the blink of an eye.

Lu Shu felt that he hadn't stayed with Xiu Qinjiang for long, and he was about to go out to participate in the competition.

But this time, unlike last time, there were only three days in total.

Besides, today is different from the past, and Lu Shu's mood has changed. Although he still feels reluctant to let go, the loss and discomfort are much less than before.

After saying goodbye in a good atmosphere, Xu Qinjiang followed the school team and boarded the bus to the airport.

Lu Shu studied the questions at home for two hours. It was really boring to be alone on the weekend, so he took out his mobile phone and went out.

Strolling around under the sun for a while, he was a little impatient with the heat.

I picked a milk tea shop at random, and there was a cute sign hanging beside the glass door, saying that the second cup of round and chunky cups was half price.

Lu Shu walked in, and the cool air from the air conditioner immediately rushed to his face, the sweat was blown away, and the irritability was slightly smoothed away.

There are quite a lot of people in the store, young couples in pairs, holding all kinds of milk tea in their hands, it seems that they are here for activities outside the door.

Lu Shu waited in line for more than ten minutes before it was his turn. He briefly browsed the menu, seeing a wide variety of varieties, and finally locked his eyes on the oolong raw coconut milk tea.

"Here," he nodded, "take a glass."

The order clerk was a young lady, and she introduced enthusiastically with a smile: "Handsome, you can take a look at our activities today. The second cup is half price, and it's more cost-effective to order two cups."

Lu Shu glanced at her, the meaning couldn't be more obvious-do you think I need to buy two glasses?

The clerk turned a blind eye and continued to sell: "The whole shop is half price, you can try our new style, white peach mochi balls, this one is very popular with girls."

Lu Shu: "..."

Buying a cup of milk tea can still meet strong buyers and strong sellers. He was about to turn around and leave, but his eyes unconsciously glanced at the picture on the advertising screen above his head.

The transparent cup is filled with pink and white layered milk tea, added mochi and small balls, and a delicate white peach ice cream chocolate - white peach mochi small balls is placed on the mouth of the cup. Just looking at the picture, there is a sense of sweetness.

It feels like it will be the taste that Xiu Qinjiang likes to drink.

After thinking about it for a second, Lu Shu had already said: "Take a cup, pack both."

"Okay, please wait a moment." The young lady immediately smiled, "Your girlfriend will definitely like it."

"..."

Lu Shu didn't understand where she figured out that he had a girlfriend, but the explanation seemed superfluous, so he simply kept silent.

The milk tea was packaged and handed over, Lu Shu took it, took a photo and sent it to Xiu Qinjiang.

- The second cup is half price, please come back and drink it.

The other side didn't return, so they should be on the plane.

Lu Shu went out with the milk tea, wrote down the name of the shop, and planned to stay away from this black shop next time.

Going shopping at noon is really a test of human tolerance, so Lu Shu found a restaurant to eat.

However, the meal was almost finished, and the phone didn't ring.

The table next to him was cutting a cake for his birthday, and a group of people were arguing so loudly, Lu Shu dropped his chopsticks to pay, and left the restaurant with the white peach mochi balls that got in the way.

Halfway through, the scene just now appeared in my mind.

It reminds me that Xiu Qinjiang's birthday is coming soon, October 10rd, half a month left.

He paused and turned into a nearby shopping mall building, but he didn't know that he didn't find any presents he wanted when he wandered from the first floor to the highest floor.

It's not too ordinary, it's just boring.

At a glance, they are all the same, and they cannot show the particularity of the coming-of-age ceremony.

After racking my brains for a long time, I couldn't figure out why, so I could only call to ask other people for their opinions.

The phone rang several times before it was picked up, and there was a voice that didn't wake up: "It's disturbing people's dreams in the early morning. If you can't give a reasonable explanation, you're done."

"..."

"1:35:16 noon." Lu Shu accurately reported the time, "Have you lost your mind?"

Tang Xingchen's eyes opened a slit, looked at the call display, and laughed meanly: "Who am I talking about? It sounds so tooth-itchy. It turns out that it's your old man—for the first time, miss me?"

Lu Shu said politely: "Stay away from death."

Tang Xingchen woke up with a smile: "Tell me, what's the matter?"

Lu Shu asked: "Is there any recommended shop? Gifts, special ones, don't push them on bad streets."

"Boys and girls?"

"male."

"Your father?"

"..." Lu Shu was at a loss for words, "It's Xiu Qinjiang, a birthday present, can you stop whining?"

"I have to ask, lest I make a wrong recommendation." Tang Xingchen condemned.

After pondering for a while, he said, "There is a good shop, all of which are custom-made by private individuals. The items they sell are more interesting, and the owner is okay, but it's a bit expensive."

"Okay, send me the address."

"How about I go with you? I just bought it together." Tang Xingchen said.

"No." Lu Shu refused quickly, "Don't tell him about this beforehand."

"Are you still playing with surprises?" Tang Xingchen joked, and sent an address location, "You told the boss that you are my friend, and you can get a discount."

Lu Shu opened his eyes and saw that he was very close to his position, less than two kilometers away.

"Thanks."

After he finished speaking, he hung up the phone.

According to the map, Lu Shu passed through three roads and four alleys. After making seven turns and eight turns, I didn’t know how far he went. His temper came out, and he came to the "two kilometers" Changle Street, and found the house. custom shop.

He raised his eyes and glanced at the signboard.

— fake.

"..."

Quite individual.

Changle Street is an ancient street. Every building and shop in this area, no matter the decoration or the name of the store, all show a retro literary and artistic style.

Except for this "fake".

Wooden signboards, cursive script, the store door is punk steam style, there is a string of rusty iron bells on the side of the metal door, when you push it like you stepped on some switch, it makes a particularly unpleasant sound, and there is an extremely ugly sound hanging behind the door. Bamboo curtains suspected to be mats.

Everywhere is different, from head to toe is full of "come in and wait to be slaughtered" temperament.

Lu Shu opened the curtain and went in. The whole store was empty, only a few weird-looking sofas and a pear wood table with tea sets on the left hand side.

Half lying on the sofa was a man with cropped hair and a black vest casually put on. His skin was slightly sickly white, and a few butterfly tattoos were tattooed on his forearms, which were foggy purple.

Seeing someone coming, he stopped playing with the carving knife, and he was amused: "How dare you come in this kind of shop?"

"What?" Lu Shu looked around and asked calmly, "Closed?"

"Yeah, I can't kill people." The man smiled nonchalantly, dropped the carving knife, poured himself a cup of brewed tea, and asked, "Do you want to drink?"

"No need." Lu Shu walked over, "What are you selling?"

"Except for not selling people, everything else is for sale." The man said, "What do you want to buy?"

"You're nothing but people," Lu Shu looked around indifferently, "There's only ten yuan worth of tea left, what can you sell?"

The man laughed twice, tut-tsk praised: "Are you Tang Xingchen's friend? Your mouth is really bad."

"Really." Lu Shu said without sincerity.

"He called me and asked me to treat you well." The man came over, stretched out a hand, and introduced himself, "Ruan Shufan."

Lu Shu shook his hand vaguely: "Lu Shu."

"What a coincidence." Ruan Shufan was quite interested, "Which book?"

"Suddenly."

Ruan Shufan suddenly said, "I thought it had the same word as me."

Lu Shu was not interested in other people's names, so he hummed and didn't answer.

"Everything is on the second floor." Ruan Shufan said, "Let's go, I'll take you up."

Lu Shu followed him up the wooden ladder, the stairs creaked for a while, and the two came to the second floor.

The second floor and the first floor do not seem to be from the same store at all.

The downstairs is like a closed hotel lobby, the floor and walls are covered with warm jade tiles, except for sofas and tea tables, there is nothing else.

The second floor is relatively more spacious, and there are many things on display, which look very messy and disorderly.

There are murals on the wall, a few old carved bookshelves in the corner, a gear model on the table, a skateboard next to it, and countless handmade semi-finished and finished products of all kinds.

"These are all custom-made by others," Ruan Shufan said casually, fiddling with a metal telescope. "You take a look first, find inspiration, and tell me which type you want to send."

Lu Shu walked to the bookshelf. The bookshelf was retro in shape and faintly exuded sandalwood. It was similar to the one in the library, but it was shrunk down a few sizes. On it was a globe made of building blocks.

He turned it with his hands, and the building blocks made a rolling sound.

"The one in your hand was custom-made by the child's parents. The building blocks can be dismantled. The country, provinces, mountains and seas can be put together as long as you can see it with the naked eye." Ruan Shufan introduced.

"Building Blocks--"

Just as Lu Shu opened his mouth, there was a slight sound behind several stacked bookshelves.

He narrowed his eyes and looked towards the source of the sound.

"What's the matter..." Ruan Shufan said and walked over.

After the words fell, a person came out from behind the bookshelf.

The boy has a slender figure, a white T-shirt and black shorts, a khaki blue plaid jacket tied around his waist, and a peaked cap hanging on the side.

The hair, which was neither short nor long, was randomly scratched, it looked a little messy, and there was an extremely indifferent expression on his face.

He took four silver bearings in his hand, walked towards the black and gold skateboard beside the table, squatted down, and manually put them in one by one.

If Lu Shu seems to be perverted that strangers don't get close to him, then this person is not to be provoked all over his body, with an aura of "if you dare to approach, I will send you to death".

"You're still here?" Ruan Shufan was surprised, "I thought you left early."

The man stepped on the skateboard with one foot and tried the rollers. After confirming that there was no problem, he picked up the skateboard with his toe and said without looking back, "Let's go."

Ruan Shufan watched his back disappear, turned his head and asked Lu Shu: "What did you just say?"

"This building block," Lu Shu casually retracted his gaze, turned the globe and said, "Can it be replaced with film?"

"Film?" Ruan Shufan asked freshly, "You have some ideas, you can, but black film..."

"No black and white film, is there any other color?" Lu Shu said, "A lighter one."

Ruan Shufan pondered: "There should be, but I have to look at the raw materials first, some colors don't look good."

Lu Shu said again: "I want to change the material of the bracket under the globe."

"Hmm... This is really not good-looking. If you change the material," Ruan Shufan suggested, "Why don't you just change the base? The bracket can't support the texture of the film, and it will look very vulgar."

Lu Shu turned his gaze around, and then landed on the gear model not far away.

"The base is replaced by a gear, so it can rotate." He said.

Ruan Shufan admired: "Hey, this is fine, I can't tell, you are very artistic."

Lu Shu didn't say a word, and continued to think with his eyebrows raised.

"Is there anything else to change?" Ruan Shufan asked.

Lu Shu considered for a moment and said, "First of all, I will add more later."

"Okay, I'll go to see the film in two days." Ruan Shufan raised his phone, "Add a WeChat, if you need to adjust anything, you can talk to me on the phone, so you don't have to run back and forth so much trouble."

Lu Shu took out his mobile phone, and the two added WeChat.

Just when the screen was about to turn off, Xiu Qinjiang finally replied.

- Let's have a drink together when I come back.

—

The airport is bustling with people, the nearest plane is about to land, and there are a large number of waiting people around the pick-up gate.

The hall broadcast sounded, indicating that the plane from the capital had arrived at Yining Airport.

Lu Shu's phone vibrated suddenly, and a new message popped up.

-arrive.

After a while, Xiu Qinjiang came out with the crowd, holding the handle of the suitcase in his hand, looking down at his mobile phone.

Other students who participated in the competition next to him approached him, but he was a little absent-minded and answered a few words hastily.

Lu Shuo uses WeChat to enable location sharing.

Almost at the same time, Xiu Qinjiang looked up and looked this way.

At the moment of surprise, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

I whispered a few words to the teacher who led the team, and the teacher also looked this way.

After obtaining the consent, Xiu Qinjiang pulled up the suitcase and quickly left the team.

Lu suddenly turned out of the waiting area and went up to meet him.

Chu Qinjiang looked delighted: "Yan, why are you here?"

He originally planned to take the school bus back with his classmates and teachers, but he didn't expect that Lu Shu would come to pick him up.

Lu Shu pulled the box in his hand and said, "I'm afraid you will get lost."

The two walked out together, and Xiu Qinjiang said happily, "Lying is not a good habit."

Lu Shu hailed a taxi outside the airport, put his luggage in the trunk, opened the door, and motioned for Xu Qinjiang to go up first.

When Xuan Qinjiang walked past him sideways and got into the car, he lowered his voice and said slowly, "Is it a lie to want to see you earlier than anyone else?"

Chu Qinjiang stopped bending and glanced at him.

Lu Shu didn't give Xiu Qinjiang a chance to react, and patted him on the back: "Go in, and I'll take you to dinner."

Xuan Qinjiang lowered his eyes, grabbed Lu Shu's restless hand from behind, and dragged him into the car together.

Lu Shu nearly fell into his arms, and was held firmly by the other party.

While the driver was stepping on the accelerator, Xiu Qinjiang put his arm on his shoulder and pinched his earlobe.

Lu Shu felt an itch in his heart, and only heard the other party say: "You should have said it earlier."

"Say what?" he asked knowingly.

"Say you want to see me." Chu Qinjiang took out a piece of chocolate from his pocket, peeled it off and brought it to his mouth, "Your reward."

Lu Shu glanced at him, the meaning was self-evident—are you teasing a dog?

Xiu Qinjiang smiled: "It's delicious, I ate a lot."

Lu Shu was noncommittal, paused for a while, and broke the chocolate in half.

Half of it was stuffed into Xiuqinjiang's mouth, and the other half was bitten off by himself.

Xiu Qinjiang leaned on him, shoulder to shoulder, the wrapping paper was folded into a miniature rabbit, and put into Lu Shu's palm.

He said: "Every piece I have eaten has been folded into a rabbit."

"In three days, eighteen pieces were folded."

Lu Shu lowered his eyes, and the rabbit lay quietly in the palm of his hand, small and delicate.

He gathered his five fingers together and held it slowly.

"It's all mine."

The chocolate is melted, with hazelnut filling inside, and the tip of the tongue is full of sweet and greasy taste.
