After going out for a walk, Master Huo returned home in the sunset.

Towards sunset, the streets and alleys began to be noisy, some children were crying loudly because they didn't want to eat, and there were also chattering noises.

"You're back, Master Huo!"

The woman next door, sitting on a bamboo chair and watching the child, greeted him loudly.The old man nodded, pushed the door open and entered the house.

This house lived in their grandfather and grandson, plus his two apprentices who were still around.When Master Huo passed the kitchen with his hands behind his back, sister Zhu, the hourly worker employed by the family, was already busy in it.

After Huo Yuchuan went to high school, he had less time, and because of Master Huo's age, he invited the current sister Zhu to come to the house regularly to help cook, and it lasted for two years.

Hearing the movement upstairs, his grandson should be back.The old man didn't make a sound, and walked up to the third floor unhurriedly amidst the sound of cooking.

Master Huo is more than seventy years old, and his steps are more stable than some young people when he walks.Because he has brought many apprentices, he has a majestic aura around him.

Unlike other homes, there is no home furnishing or decoration on this entire floor, but an open field is directly vacated for daily training, with sandbags and single poles all available.It is convenient for Huo Yuchuan and his senior brother to do morning and evening exercises here.

As soon as Master Huo went upstairs, he saw only Huo Yuchuan practicing there.The person is hanging upside down on the single pole, doing sit-ups one after another in silence.

The originally heavy training movements made him a little lighter.The tall, long-legged young man is like a vigorous cheetah, hanging upside down, and doing abdominal crunches at a constant speed simply by relying on his abdomen and back.

Master Huo walked over, checked his movements, and asked as usual: "How is class today?"

After Huo Yuchuan finished one, he replied: "It's okay."

The old man then asked him about his recent practice, and briefly checked his homework.

I don't know if it's because he practiced martial arts tightly when he was a child. Master Huo has always disliked this grandson for being too quiet, lacking in vigor, and not looking like a young man at all.

He asked something unimportant again: "Ming Qi said, that boy Chen Tao didn't come to class today?"

Ming Qi is the name of his third senior brother.But Huo Yuchuan knew that the old man wouldn't bother to ask these questions on purpose, so he couldn't help but give him an extra look as he was hanging on the single pole.

"Ah."

He heard his grandfather ask again: "Didn't his brother come back?"

Whenever there is any news in their local area, there is no need to broadcast it, and it can spread all over the streets and alleys within a day.Huo Yuchuan was not surprised that he knew about this.

But Huo Yuchuan was waiting for what he wanted to say.

"When he comes back, go out more with them during this time, that is, hang out with your friends." Master Huo said.

"Oh."

He has no choice but to return.

His grandfather added: "Didn't you like your brother Ji Jin the most when you were young?"

After the old man left, Huo Yuchuan got off the single pole and thought about what he said just now.

Today was the second time I heard someone say that about him.

This forced Huo Yuchuan to start recalling himself back then.

Maybe it was because he had been hanging upside down for a long time just now, and his head was congested with blood, which really made him vaguely remember some blurred pictures in his memory.

Due to family reasons, Ji Jin was one grade older than the students of the same class when he transferred to them, and five years older than the Chen family's son.When Ji Jin was eighteen years old, Huo Yuchuan was 13 years old.

The height of the 13-year-old's vision of the outside world is so limited that the memory picture in his mind is also a low angle.

It was the same summer as now, and the child Huo Yuchuan stretched out his arms to find the Coke on the bottom of the refrigerator.

The refrigerator in Chen Tao's house was messy, with things stacked together, and the heavy bottles and cans and fruit plastic bags weighed down the bottom Coke bottle.

His fingers had already touched the cold body of the bottle.And the boy in the blue and white high school uniform at the back was still asking him in a vague voice: "Can you do it yourself?"

Huo Yuchuan turned his back to him, and heard a syllable without ups and downs from his mouth: "En."

But in fact, he knew that he was a little annoyed at that time. He thought that Chen Tao was sick, and he had to hide a bottle of Coke so deeply.

In the next second, his shoulder was held down by a warm palm.A person was stuck behind him, and at the same time, an arm stretched out from the side of his face soundlessly.

He turned his head and saw only half rolled up blue and white school uniform sleeves.

The material of the school uniform rubbed against his ear loosely, and Huo Yuchuan avoided it.

Ji Jin's school uniform was loose, and the half-grown boy in front of him who was a head shorter than him was immediately shrouded in his brother Ji Jin's figure.There was a light fragrance from another person that completely engulfed the sense of smell at that moment.

His memory of the man was such a smell.

Incomparably clear and clean, distant breath.

"Let me come." Brother Ji Jin said.

His voice was too close.If the voice is audible to a certain extent, the whole body of the listener will be surrounded by his clear and pleasant voice.

"……found it."

Ji Jin's clothes were swaying against his back at first, but at this second the person behind him suddenly pressed deeper into his body.Huo Yuchuan shrunk his neck, only to feel a numbness spreading from Ji Jin's hand on his shoulder like a weed in the wind, and goosebumps arose.

Ji Jin looked down at him, and he had already retreated.

Holding the cap of a drink bottle with his slender fingers, he passed by his face.The elder brother who was one head taller hadn't left yet, he asked Huo Yuchuan: "Can you give me this one?"

As soon as he looked up, Brother Ji Jin in front of him smiled at him.

But the memory is still fuzzy, Huo Yuchuan still forgot whether the bottle of Coke was given to him in the end.
