On the day of the end of the final exam, everyone cheered, because the New Year is coming soon.

Chinese New Year means eating, playing, and red envelopes.

So when the bell rang at the end of the last exam, everyone grabbed their pencil bags and ran out of the classroom as if they were having fun before the broadcast said "The exam is over, please stop answering the questions."

Shu Xia slowly sorted out the test papers, 2B pencils, test pens, and erasers. The first semester of the second year of high school ended with the order "the test is over, please stop answering the questions".

The invigilator also shook his head with a smile. It may be a portrayal of himself back then, or he may lament the youthful youth without worry, the joyful running, the reckless youth.

When he went out, Ji Xi was already leaning on the railing and waiting, with his legs crossed casually. His slender legs, when he leaned back, he had a sense of sight of 1.8 meters.

"Xueba, it's a holiday!" He exclaimed.

"You won't leave blank, will you?" Shu Xia asked.

"Fuck, can you stop holding on to it?" Ji Xi stood up straight, putting his hands in his pockets, "Don't worry, your number one is mine!"

"I'm looking forward to it." Shu Xia walked down the stairs side by side with him.

Qi Xin and the others were waiting at the school gate, saying that they would have a meal to end the semester.

When they passed by, he bluffed: "I don't think I'm the last one this time!"

Ji Xi smiled and said nothing, but Meng Ke said something to him: "It's the last one."

"Fuck, Ake, can you stop hitting me like this?" Qi Xin grabbed him to play around, "I feel really good this time, Shu Xia has almost talked about those topics, my premonition is not wrong. "

"Okay, where to eat?" Ji Xi asked, "Where's Liu Yang?"

"Hmph, why didn't you go with his girlfriend, a worthless bastard, why didn't you see him so clingy before?" Qi Xin said angrily.

"I didn't have any girlfriends to cling to before, so why are I still clinging to you!" Meng Ke said.

"Damn, just thinking about it makes me feel cold!" Qi Xin was shaking with goose bumps all over his body, and he couldn't imagine Liu Yang asking him softly, "Are you thirsty? Is it fun? Are you tired today..."

Ji Xi subconsciously looked at Shu Xia's face, it was calm and smiling, and he secretly scolded himself for being sensitive.

Maybe it's... I'm afraid Shu Xia won't be able to bear it!

After all, they... don't look like everyone else.

Although it was not surprising at the beginning, he was actually afraid that other people's words would affect him, and he would get a strange look because of being "different".

It's not normal.

This is what the psychological counselor said when he was sent to psychological counseling.

"Let's go eat hot pot!" Qi Xin's words interrupted Ji Xi's thoughts.

He put aside distracting thoughts, it is different now, he is free, and he still has someone he likes, even if the sky falls, there is still a tall man to support him!

"Is it Liu Yang?" Meng Ke asked.

"Whatever." Ji Xi said, it doesn't matter if there are more or less people.

"Call, call Sanshi too." Qi Xin said.

"Where are you going?" Meng Ke asked.

"The one in the county center!" Ji Xi said, there are only two options, and the one at the entrance of the alley is already tired of eating.

Qi Xin looked at him: "Are you so proud?"

"Brother is so proud!" Ji Xi said with a smile, "Aren't you convinced? Then you pay the bill."

"Brother Xi pays the bill, so I'll eat with my stomach open." Qi Xin distorted the facts and took the meaning out of context.

Called Liu Yang and Qi Lei, they took a taxi and squeezed past.

"Brother Xi, don't you like to sit in the co-pilot? Why are you sitting in the back today?" Qi Xin asked.

Ji Xi sat in the middle of the back seat, praying for Xin and comforting Xia at the same time.

"You control me, I like it," he said.

Shu Xia couldn't help but smile, "Where is the one in the county center you're talking about?"

"It's called Yuanyanglou, and the taste is not bad." Ji Xi said.

Qi Xin: "It's super delicious, but it's deadly expensive, but it's the last day of this semester, so it's okay to be proud."

Meng Ke turned around and yelled at him: "You just eat it, look at your beer belly in two years, don't say you know me, it's embarrassing!"

"Hey, I said, are you free, why do you hate me for every sentence? You are still not a friend. The boat of friendship will capsize if it says it will capsize. Go there by yourself! Don't look for me if you don't have a place to live in the future."

"Don't you just live there for a few days? It's as if you've been raising me for decades."

"..."

Ji Xi ignored their childish conversation and looked sideways at Shu Xia.

He was leaning on the backrest, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, only half of his face could be seen against the light, the outline was very soft, and he had a calm and gentle aura.

It looks very gentle.

But when the hair is up, it is very flamboyant and dazzling, and when it is not smiling, it looks like a big guy.

"How did you spend your holiday?" Ji Xi asked.

"Huh?" He didn't seem to be able to react, so he paused before saying, "Let's study, maybe...find a job, or depending on the situation, the situation at home is not clear, so let's take it one step at a time."

That's right, his dad is still lying in bed and can't get up!

"Aren't you going back?" Shu Xia asked, "It's the Chinese New Year."

"No, it's not interesting. They are visiting relatives anyway. One family eats the other, and the little one has to be given red envelopes." Ji Xi leaned back, with his hands on his knees. He has long legs and always looks kind The feeling of condescending.

"What about you? Do you give red envelopes or take red envelopes during Chinese New Year?"

"My family has no relatives, no children, and I am not a child." Shu Xia said.

"It was even worse for me. Seven aunts and eight aunts have more than ten children, and I took out all the red envelopes I got." Qi Xin said.

"Aren't your parents supposed to take it? Why is it your turn?" Meng Ke asked.

"It's not going out in the name of a red envelope, but a snack toy. The group of children follow your buttocks, the older brothers keep screaming, and they cry a lot. It's very annoying." Qi Xin said helplessly.

"Then hide away." The experienced Ji Xi suggested.

Qi Xin: "With that palm-sized field, where can I hide?"

It's true, almost all the people here know each other side by side, and it's very common to chat with each other.

Unlike his family, you have to call and make an appointment to visit relatives, and the chance of meeting acquaintances on the way is less than 5.00%, and neighbors don’t even know their last names.

Because of the holiday, the Mandarin Duck Building was overcrowded, and there was a long queue outside, waiting with numbers.

Ji Xi and the others are already on the 24th, and the store has prepared stools outside very considerately, which looks really big.

"Are you still eating?" Qi Xin looked at the hot pot and the strong smell of hot pot inside.

"How about another family?" Meng Ke said.

Ji Xi had no objection, he looked at Shu Xia, "What do you think?"

"It doesn't matter." Shu Xia said, he has a very casual temper when it comes to eating, as long as he can eat it, he can eat it without poisoning people, except for coriander, which will cause pimples on his face, which is not considered an allergy, but just a rash .

"No, just this one." Qi Xin gritted his teeth suddenly and said.

Several people followed his gaze suspiciously, it was that kid Ming Lu.

He was walking over with a few brothers as if he was acting in a gangster movie.

"I'm going to eat here too in the evening." Qi Xin emphasized again.

Ming Lu didn't expect to meet them here, so he smiled unexpectedly, "It's really a fate!"

"It's really bad luck for eight lifetimes." Qi Xin said, "First come, first served, even if you are an uncle, you have to wait in line."

"I'm sorry, my dad owns this store, so I don't have to wait in line." Ming Lu said as if he was embarrassed.

Qi Xin was so angry that he couldn't find words to refute. This is a rich second generation, or a black second generation. Seeing them swaggering in, he suddenly said: "I want to open a hot pot restaurant in the future, just across the street. I'm so mad at this one." Asshole stuff."

Ji Xi turned his head curiously to look at the address of Qixin Future's hot pot restaurant, the radio and television building, the gossip chronicles in the county, the poverty alleviation in towns and villages, which broadcasts from here.

"Then you have to go to a media school, and then slowly climb up to the position of the owner of this building, but I'm afraid you won't be able to pass the media exam in your life." Ji Xi said with a smile.

"Or you can take the exam to be a civil servant, who is in charge of demolition, and demolish this place to build a hot pot restaurant. However, the salary of civil servants is too low, and you can't afford to open it for the rest of your life. Or you can talk about a smaller goal, such as taking the exam Isn’t it cool to come to check his store every day for commodity inspection or something?”

"Fuck!" Qi Xin glared at him, "Your ability to hit people has increased again."

"People need to be more realistic." Ji Xi looked like he had "been fully enlightened after going through the vicissitudes of life". "Look at me, I broke his leg if I didn't accept it!"

"Fuck! Then you have broken ribs." Qi Xin didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Seeing his deflated expression, Shu Xia couldn't help laughing. After the bad breakup at the school gate, whenever he heard the name Ming Lu, the next sentence he would say would be "broke his leg". on the lips.

"Okay, did Liu Yang and the others die on the way?" He changed the subject.

Qi Xin said: "Brother Xi, your great image has collapsed with me."

Ji Xi kicked and hit his calf.

"Your brother Xi is still your brother Xi." Adapted from "Your uncle is still your uncle", a new internet joke he saw.

"I'll call and ask, we can't wait, they eat ready-made." Meng Ke took out his mobile phone and called Liu Yang.

"Didn't answer? Did you really die on the way?" Hearing that the music was repeated several times on Meng Ke's phone and no one answered, Qi Xin took it and put it in his ear.

"No one answered." Qi Xin looked at several people, "Why don't you call Qi Lei?"

Ji Xi took out his mobile phone, flicked it a few times, and dialed Qi Lei's number.

The beep rang for a long time but no one answered, he looked at everyone, "No one answered, what the hell is going on?"

"I feel like they want to tease people." Qi Xin pretended to be deep, rubbing his chin, "I especially remember last winter vacation, when Meng Ke and Liu Yang lied to me about eating hot pot, I ran excitedly, but I was released as a pigeon. This time, it should be ready to make a big vote."

"What can you do?" Ji Xi asked.

"Maybe a call will come later saying that they have already located a place." Qi Xin said, "That's really happy."

"Wake up, you! Look clearly, the number 24 is a dream even in the daytime." Meng Ke showed him the blue square in his hand, on which 24 was written in white on a blue background.

"Hey, I don't even give a chance to fantasize." Qi Xin said, "I think, they are with their girlfriends? Then they have time to deal with us single dogs, it's cruel!"

"Speaking of this, Ake, why did you fight Sanshi?" Qi Xin asked, "I didn't ask clearly that day, I just watched you fight."

"It's boring!" Meng Ke put his hand into his trouser pocket, "It's itchy."

"Boring!" Ji Xi said.

"You are so boring!" Qi Xin said.

Ji Xi sat down on the nearest stool and tugged on Shuxia's sleeve, "Xueba, come here, let me lean in."

Shu Xia staggered a few steps, and sat on the stool next to Ji Xi, with an unceremonious head on her shoulder and a faint smell of perfume.

"Yo, you guys... have a problem!" Qi Xin looked at it like gossip.

"You talk too much." Ji Xi ignored him, stretched his long legs, and yawned, "So sleepy!"

"What's going on with you these days?" Shu Xia moved her seat so that he could lean more comfortably, "Sleep possessed?"

"The hibernation period is here, I can't cheer up." Ji Xi whispered.

The person in front of the row looked back at the two of them, talking to the person next to him, and Ji Xi sat up straight, not in a good mood.

You can guess what they want to say and what they will say without listening.

He doesn't care, but Shu Xia will be uncomfortable.

"You lean in." Shu Xia looked at him with a little smile in his eyes, there was nothing else messy to make him take a step back.

"Don't rely on it, I'm afraid I'll fall asleep." Ji Xi shook his head, watching the front line move a seat, "I don't want to eat, it's annoying!"

"Boss, let's change to another one. Watching them eat makes me drool." Qi Xin put the phone back in his pocket and rubbed the five internal organs temple, "I'm so hungry!"

"What's the situation with Liu Yang and the others?" Ji Xi asked.

"Ghost knows, maybe I can't get away!" Meng Ke said, "I have to make up lessons in the third year of high school, maybe I will accompany his girlfriend to class?"

"What about Qi Lei? Can't you also accompany his girlfriend to class?" Ji Xi paused, "It's not impossible, isn't his girlfriend a teacher?"

"I'll make another call to ask." Meng Ke took out his phone and continued calling.

"It's done." Meng Ke said, "Liu Yang, what the hell are you doing? You don't answer the phone."

"What?" Meng Ke's face changed, "What's the situation?"

Ji Xi and the others all looked at him, he must be dead, right?

Without saying a few words, the phone hung up, and Ji Xi looked at Meng Ke, "What's the matter?"

"There was a fight, it was a bit serious." Meng Ke said, "I'm in the hospital now!"

"Who fought who? Who went to the hospital?" Qi Xin asked.

Shu Xia also stood up and looked at them.

"It is said that Shen Mengjie provoked the bastards. They met on the road, and they might have spoken rudely or something, so they started fighting, and Qi Lei was injured." Meng Ke frowned, but did not explain clearly.

"Go and have a look." Ji Xi said.

Shu Xia hailed a taxi by the side of the road, and sat in the back seat with Ji Xi.

"Damn it, I said Liu Yang wasn't suitable for her at the beginning, but he jumped into it all the time, what's he doing now!" Qi Xin climbed into the back seat cursing.

"Okay, the situation is not clear, don't guess." Ji Xi remained calm.

"Where did I guess, that bastard Liu Yang, since he got a girlfriend, he doesn't want brothers like us anymore, you bastard who is obsessed with sex!"

Shu Xia was caught in the middle and couldn't find anything to say.

After Qi Xin said this, the car was silent for a while, only the deep music of the master and Huang Jiaju's Cantonese songs remained.

Shu Xia looked to the left, then to the right, and finally to Ji Xi.He was not as excited as Qi Xin, he was very calm, as if he had nothing to do with him, but in fact it didn't seem to have much to do with him.

"Why are you looking at me?" Ji Xi smiled, "Are you hungry? Do you want to buy something to pad your stomach?" Shu Xia has a bad stomach, and usually eats on time. Today, she walked half a circle and didn't eat anything. .

Shu Xia shook her head: "I'm not hungry yet."

"I'm going to starve to death!" Qi Xin said angrily.

"It deserves it. If you hadn't proposed to eat hot pot, we would have eaten it long ago." Meng Ke yelled at him.

This is the third time Shu Xia has come to the county hospital.

The first time with despair and fear, the second time with apprehension, this time, very calm.

When Ji Xi and the others arrived, the nurse was dealing with bandaging Qi Lei's wound, when he saw them, he smiled indifferently: "It's a big deal, Liu Yang is timid, I rushed over after I finished the treatment. "

"Why are you so unsteady?" Ji Xi patted him on the shoulder, "Aren't you awesome? Did you make a mistake again this time?"

"I was careless, I didn't notice that they were carrying knives." Qi Lei endured the pain, his face almost wrinkled into a doughnut.

"Where's Liu Yang?" Qi Xin asked.

"Let's go to the toilet!" Qi Lei said, "He was terrified, tears were streaming down his face, those who didn't know thought I did something to him."

"I gonna go see."

Shu Xia got out of the way and sat on a chair in the corridor. Seeing that Qi Xin was going in the wrong direction, she pointed out to him: "You are going in the wrong direction."

Qi Xin fell back again.

Shu Xia sat outside and listened to them talking about the ins and outs.

Qi Lei said that after Ji Xi called him, he ran into Liu Yang and his girlfriend on the road, Liu Yang was pushed to the ground and beat him, and some gangsters grabbed him by the collar and attacked him. Very serious, when Qi Lei rushed over, he didn't notice that there was a knife, and his hand was slashed.

Liu Yang and his girlfriend almost cried in fright.

Qi Lei endured the pain and beat him up before coming to the hospital for bandages.

His girlfriend didn't come, and the two of them probably wanted to cool off.

"Tsk tsk, the hero saved the beauty!" Ji Xi said, "We should give out an award for bravery."

"Go away, it hurts!"

"Then are you blind? You can't even see the shining knife, you deserve it!" Ji Xi was annoyed.

Qi Lei was also angry: "Who the hell knows that the sky is bright and bright, and some bastards are so arrogant, taking a knife to the street."

"Calm down, we haven't finished bandaging yet!" said the nurse.

Several people fell silent.

Shu Xia leaned against the wall and glanced sideways at Liu Yang who was brought back by Qi Xin, his face was bruised, he might have cried, his eyes were red.

A few people didn't even change their school uniforms, so they were very conspicuous, and people passing by looked at them from time to time.

"Can you be a little promising?" Qi Xin put his shoulders, "It's embarrassing to death!"

Although the mouth and face are full of disgust, the relationship between them is very good at first glance.

Shu Xia is quite envious, except for Ji Xi, he has no brothers or friends, and Ji Xi is not considered a brother, but a boyfriend.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt that it was already very good.

"What's wrong?" Ji Xi saw his envious eyes when he came out, "Envy?"

"No, it's just quite special. There is a brother who goes to school together, fights together, and plays together." Shu Xia played with her fingers, entertaining herself, interlocking her fingers for a while, and crossing them for a while to make a crisp sound.

"Aside from fighting together, why didn't I accompany you?" Ji Xi said with a smile, "We even had dinner together."

Shu Xia looked at him with wide eyes and said, "We are not brothers."

Ji Xi smiled lowly: "Indeed, he is more than a little closer than brothers."
