Summer is already at the end of August, and it is still so hot.The scorched ground seemed to distort the air, the leaves of the camphor tree were motionless, and Xia Chan seemed to be screaming with life.

Chen Mo squatted on the side of the road, smoked the last cigarette, and then flicked it, the cigarette butt flew into the trash can two meters away.

A few minutes later, Chen Mo stood up and shook his sore legs, turned around and saw Ming Xia standing in front of him.Chen Mo felt guilty: "When did you come out?"

Ming Xia's fair little face was stained with sweat, and her cheeks were slightly puffed up. She stretched out her index finger and pointed to the trash can: "When you threw... the cigarette butts in."

Chen Mo laughed: "I just smoked one."

Ming Xia muttered: "You said the same thing yesterday."

"Okay, don't be angry." Chen Mo took a bag from Ming Xia's hand, "Have you bought everything yet?"

Ming Xia hummed.

"Let's go then."

Chen Mo walked a little fast, Ming Xia struggled to keep up, panting slightly.

"Chen Mo, slow down." Ming Xia finally said.

"Ah? Oh." Chen Mo barely followed Ming Xia's pace.Ming Xia turned her head and carefully glanced at Chen Mo's side face, the boy's brows and eyes revealed a little indifference.Ming Xia couldn't help feeling suspicious, and couldn't help asking: "Chen Mo, are you... angry?"

"No, what's the point of being angry?" Chen Mo smiled, but that smile was indeed not as serious as usual, and there was something wrong in his eyes.

"You, if you don't like it." Ming Xia stammered habitually, "I... I will, no, I won't talk about it in the future."

Chen Mo sighed, because of Ming Xia's sensitivity.Just passing by was a grocery store, Chen Mo told Ming Xia to wait for me, then went into the grocery store, came out 2 minutes later, with two more ice creams in his empty hands.Chen Mo raised it towards Ming Xia: "Eat."

Ming Xia looked relaxed, took both ice creams from Chen Mo's hands, and unwrapped one of the ice creams before handing it to Chen Mo.The milk raisin-flavored ice cream was steaming, Ming Xia took a bite, couldn't help squinting her eyes, and completely forgot about the possibility of offending Chen Mo.

Chen Mo sent Ming Xia to the gate of the community: "Go in."

Ming Xia blinked, not quite understanding, every time before, Chen Mo would send him in, and occasionally go to his house to sit and eat ice cream or something.

Chen Mo explained: "I still have something to do today."

Ming Xia took the bag from Chen Mo's hand and smiled: "Then I'm leaving."

Chen Mo said, Ming Xia turned and walked a few steps, Chen Mo suddenly called him, Ming Xia turned his head, Chen Mo took a few steps forward, hesitated: "Xia Xia, let's see you after school starts."

Ming Xia was surprised: "Why, what?" There are still nine days before school starts, "You, your summer homework...haven't finished yet."

When it came to the summer homework, Chen Mo had a headache: "There are not many, I will write it myself."

Ming Xia obviously didn't believe that Chen Mo would be so self-disciplined.Chen Mo stroked Ming Xia's hair: "That's all."

Ming Xia was a little unhappy: "Not at all, not... okay."

"What's the matter? I haven't seen you for a few days, and you really want to see me?" Chen Mo smirked.Ming Xia's eyes widened, and he immediately stomped on Chen Mo. The thin-faced man was a little ashamed and stuttered even more: "Who, who... yes, miss you, ah!" ran back.

Chen Mo smiled, lowered his head, and the smile on his face gradually subsided, returning to the indifference that Ming Xia had seen before.The habitual Chen Mo touched his pocket and wanted to smoke again, but after thinking about Ming Xia's angry face, he decided to give up.

The shadow on the ground was stretched obliquely, Chen Mo took out the mobile phone in his pocket, typed a string of words: "See you at the old place." Then sent it out.

Chen Mo turned away from Ming Xia's community, walked forward step by step, then turned right and went straight, then turned left.This is an old city area. It was said several years ago that it would be demolished. Chen Mo didn't understand that. He only saw signs of demolition sprayed with red paint on the walls of small residential buildings.

It was still in the afternoon, when Chen Mo turned into the snack street, there were no people there.A few teenagers were waiting under the shed of a specialty barbecue stall. When they saw Chen Mo, they all stood up. The only one who didn't stand up had a toothpick in his mouth, and stared coldly at Chen Mo who came over.

"Luo Yang." Chen Mo looked at the boy sitting on the bench and called his name.

Luo Yang took the toothpick from his mouth and smiled half a smile: "Long time no see."

Chen Mo pulled up a stool and sat down opposite Luo Yang, and said, "I have something to tell you."

Luo Yang raised his chin.

"I'm going to start school in nine days, and I probably won't have time to play together in the future." Chen Mo said with a blank expression.

Luo Yang sneered: "It turned out that he wanted to escape from us and planned to be a good boy."

Chen Mo frowned slightly, but did not refute.

Luo Yang: "Chen Mo, you don't think it's that easy to leave if you want, do you?"

Chen Mo nodded: "You say."

Luo Yang's eyes gradually became angry: "You know, Chen Mo, I used to hate your appearance very much, now that the boss is gone, do you think I will be patient?"

Chen Mo raised his eyes, his expression was very calm, Luo Yang snapped his fingers, and several boys immediately put up Chen Mo's arms, but Chen Mo didn't resist at all.The boss nestled in the shop door saw Chen Mo being carried away by several boys.The boss sighed helplessly: "They are all bastards..."

As the sun set, the number of people on the road gradually increased.Chen Mo supported the wall and walked out of the alley, the street lamp was on not far away, reflecting Chen Mo's face with criss-cross scars.Chen Mo kept leaning on the wall and walked slowly forward. Some people saw the strangeness of this young man and looked at him curiously.Chen Mo kept his head down until he reached the door of a small clinic.

There is a wind chime hanging on the door of the small clinic. When the door is opened, the wind chime rings, which doesn't go well with the faint smell of disinfectant inside the door.

A woman came out from behind the white curtain: "Welcome...Chen Mo?" The woman was startled when she raised her head, then she held Chen Mo's arm in an unusual way and asked him to sit on the chair, "I was thinking about it, you This bastard is so good, he hasn't come to report here for a whole summer vacation. Hehe, I'm really dreaming."

Chen Mo smiled, touched the wound on his face, and took a light breath.

The woman cleaned Chen Mo's wound as usual, looked carefully at Chen Mo's face, and asked in surprise, "What's wrong today? You're so...happy after being beaten like this?" Isn't her face usually as cold as a plague god?

Chen Mo said frankly: "I am very happy."

Woman: "...was your brain broken?"

After about half an hour, the woman took off the rubber gloves on her hands and poured Chen Mo a glass of lemonade.

The woman exhaled, dragged a chair and sat down opposite Chen Mo, and said leisurely: "Tell me, what is so happy about?"

Chen Mo glanced at the woman and said nothing.

The woman chuckled: "Why? I'm also the one who gave you a parent-teacher meeting."

Chen Mo tilted his head, and there was a desire to confide in his heart, things that he couldn't say to anyone.

"Actually, it's nothing. I just met a child." Chen Mo said.

"Children? How young?"

Chen Mo thought for a while: "It seems to be four months younger than me."

The woman's black line: "You are still a child." She was overthinking, and thought that this kid was a child lover cough cough...

"We met this summer vacation, and he picked up my wallet."

"Oh—it's quite an idol drama."

Chen Mo didn't have the ability to tell romantic stories at all, so he said hastily: "Then let's play together."

The woman was uninterested, and said casually: "Oh, is that girl pretty? Bring me to see if you have time."

Chen Mo raised his eyes, and the woman found an unusual meaning: "What's wrong?"

Chen Mo looked into the woman's eyes and said softly, "He's not a girl."

The woman's mind boomed, and she felt that she was thinking too little. Compared with child lovers, she was no different.The atmosphere froze for a long time, and the woman asked tremblingly, "Do you like him?"

Chen Mo smiled: "I kind of like it."

"Does he know?"

"I don't know."

The woman suddenly regretted that she had too many things to do, and pushed herself and Chen Mo into such an embarrassing situation.Chen Mo said: "Sister Han Yu, do you think I'm sick? Am I abnormal?"

Han Yu's heart was blocked, and he felt a little sour when he heard Chen Mo's words: "Silly boy, you have read my books for nothing, and I am still a doctor."

Chen Mo touched his face and asked, "Sister, when will I recover from this injury?"

Han Yu estimated: "Ten days and half a month."

"So long? Is there no way for me to get well sooner?"

"Can you be in a hurry? Injuries heal slowly!" Han Yu glared at Chen Mo angrily.

Chen Mo smiled: "Of course I know. But, Xia Xia and I will meet after school starts, so he can't let him see my face like this."

"Who told you to fight? Do it!"

"I don't want to either." Chen Mo didn't explain much.

Han Yu has been in this small clinic since graduation, almost six or seven years, since Chen Mo came here to treat wounds after the first fight in his youthful rebellious period, Chen Mo himself can't count how many times he came here.The two have known each other for four years, and they get along like siblings. Han Yu even gave Chen Mo a parent-teacher meeting at school.

Chen Mo's wound was healed, but Han Yu stopped him when he wanted to leave.Han Yu said: "Why don't you go, just have dinner here."

Chen Mo didn't refuse, Han Yu went to the kitchen and simply got two dishes out, and then filled two bowls of rice.While eating, because I just found out that Chen Mo, who is like a younger brother, likes boys, Han Yu didn't know what topic to chat with Chen Mo.

It happened that Chen Mo was watching with his Nokia while eating. After a while, Han Yu couldn't take it anymore, and knocked on the edge of Chen Mo's bowl: "Don't play with your phone while eating."

Chen Mo put the phone on the table.

Han Yu's small clinic was not far from Chen Mo's home, and it was almost eight o'clock when Chen Mo returned home.After taking a simple shower, Chen Mo called Ming Xia.

"Hello~" Ming Xia quickly picked it up.

Chen Mo sat on the bed and wiped his hair with a towel.

Ming Xia: "Have you eaten yet?"

"Ah."

"Eat, what are you eating?"

Chen Mo said the names of the two dishes.

Ming Xia also cheerfully stammered to report his dinner, Chen Mo lay down on the bed, and he only replied a few words when Ming Xia asked.Ming Xia complained: "In the future, when I call..., I will write down all the questions. When I chat with you, I will be the one talking."

Chen Mo smiled and hummed.I don't know why, as long as he is chatting with Ming Xia, even if he doesn't speak, just listening to the other person's breathing, Chen Mo feels good.

"Can't we meet tomorrow?" Ming Xia asked.

"See you after school starts."

"why?"

"No reason?"

"You, don't you think, I'm bored?" Ming Xia was a little uneasy.

"Nothing. Xia Xia, what are you thinking about all day long?"

Ming Xia buried her face in the pillow: "Then, why, we don't meet each other."

Chen Mo was tickled, but he didn't speak.Ming Xia was furious: "I want...to sleep, now! Ignore you!"

Hearing the beeping sound in his ears, Chen Mo laughed and raised his arms to cover his injured face.

Ming Xia threw the phone aside, and after more than ten seconds, she couldn't help but fish it into her hand to look at it, but Chen Mo still didn't call!Ming Xia rubbed hard on the pillow twice, lying on the bed, swinging her thin white legs twice in mid-air.
