The movie theater is still the same as last time, mainly because there is only one here.

"Do you want popcorn?" Ji Xi leaned against the bar, "Milk tea?"

There are many options, but they just came out after eating, and their throats are still blocked!

"I don't eat or drink, you buy your own." Shu Xia sat in the temporary rest area, waiting for the movie to start.

"All right." Ji Xi looked at the sign above, "A cup of freshly squeezed oranges, and a box of green arrows."

It was the first time that Shu Xia looked at the movie theater seriously. The first time he came, he was in a hurry, and there were a lot of people. He followed Ji Xi, and he didn't know where he went.

It's quite tall, and it doesn't fit in with the temperament of a small county. There are video game areas, children's playgrounds, many drink shops, toy shops, and there are many people.

There are banners and electronic slogans everywhere, discounts, cards, and New Year's must-haves, lanterns.

The whole atmosphere of welcoming the New Year.

"What's wrong?" Ji Xi sat down next to him.

"It's almost Chinese New Year." Shu Xia said.

"You... want to go home?" Ji Xi asked hesitantly.

"Don't you want to go home?" Shu Xia asked, "It's the first time that I'm still hanging out during Chinese New Year. I don't know where I've been. I'm a little... not used to it."

"I don't have any expectations for Chinese New Year." He took apart the Green Arrow and handed a piece to Shu Xia, "You can live wherever you want, just go there if you want, don't worry so much."

"Do you think... I'm quite sentimental?" Shu Xia asked.

"Well, a little bit." Ji Xi said with a smile, "When I first met you, I looked like a melancholy... boy."

"Isn't it a fierce fight? Why are you still depressed?" Shu Xia was surprised. Didn't they meet for the first time when they fought at the back door alley?

"It wasn't that time. The first time I saw you was not fighting, but asking for directions. You didn't even look at me." Ji Xi laughed, "There is a cool indifference in the melancholy."

"Ah?" Shu Xia asked, "When?"

"A few days before the start of the first semester of high school, I was in a... I can't describe it, there is a children's clothing store next to the Kaiyuan Hotel. I saw it there, and I asked you where to eat." Ji Xi looked at him lightly. Laughed, "It feels like we got married because of food. We first met and asked where to eat, and then you cooked me a bowl of noodles, and rewarded me again tonight."

"Red down jacket? Wearing a mask? Hair..." Shu Xia couldn't describe the color of her hair.

"Grandma Hui." Ji Xi said for him.

"Outsider?" Shu Xia asked.

"Well, it's not a foreigner now, but a mainlander." Ji Xi said with a smile.

"I don't remember very clearly. I just remember the red clothes, the mask, and the face. I didn't see the face clearly. The voice was nice, and it was a frivolous and wanton feeling." Shu Xia laughed, "At that time, I just Pointing to nonsense."

"But I found it." Ji Xi reacted, "Damn it, you actually give directions randomly, what if I go wrong?"

"I'm not familiar with the place, so you look like a good person, so I mustered up the courage to ask you, but you treated me like this, you are so fucking amazing!" He sighed, "Fortunately, I'm not a road idiot, otherwise you would be so stupid now." Where can I find such a good boyfriend."

"I'm sorry, if I knew it was you, I would definitely make a big table of dishes for you." Shu Xia said with a smile. At that time, he felt that this person was irritating, flamboyant, and annoying, so he just said it later.

"Forget it, it's not too late now, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future." Ji Xi has nothing to do with him, and he will have the opportunity to settle slowly in the future.

"Fortunately, I found a noodle shop, otherwise I would have bought a ticket and left." Ji Xi leaned back and looked at the back of Shu Xia's head, "In that case we would have missed it."

Shu Xia pursed her lips and said, "I'm sorry."

"Don't tell me you're sorry." Ji Xi patted him on the shoulder, "Stop pointing the way indiscriminately in the future, if you point the wrong way, you won't have a boyfriend."

"How come? We will always meet." Shu Xia said with a smile, "Maybe I will be in the same school and city as you when I am admitted to university!"

"Then we really missed it. If I don't come here, I will go abroad." Ji Xi looked at the time, "It's time, let's go in!"

Shu Xia followed in a daze.

Going abroad is an unattainable word for him that he has never thought about, because it is too far away, even if he sees these two words occasionally, he doesn't feel much, but now it is stuck in his heart.

too far.

Going abroad, this word, he only now realized how far away it was from him.

Ji Xi has gone abroad, so they probably won't know each other, even if they pass each other on the street decades later, they will forget about it when they turn around.

His heart tightened, and he looked at the person in front of him, "Ji Xi, will you go abroad in the future?"

Ji Xi looked at him sideways and smiled: "No, once you come here, you won't go abroad."

"Can we still go to college together?" He asked.

"Of course, we can take the test together, anywhere." Ji Xi turned around and promised, "Don't worry, we have already met, and we will keep walking in the future."

He put his arm around Shu Xia's shoulder: "Don't be afraid, I'm here!"

"Not lying?" he asked.

"Well, I'm not lying." Ji Xi said.

"it is good."

The movie has already started.

Ji Xi chose the penultimate row, [-]D movies, space exploration, cool special effects, good acting skills, especially the scene of space rescue, which is very touching.

Some people in the first few rows were quietly wiping away tears.

Shu Xia was not in the mood to watch, staring at the screen in a daze.

Ji Xi put the straw in his mouth and there was no response, he had chewed the gum in his mouth for almost two hours.

"Oh, you are really good at saying you are sentimental." Ji Xi rubbed his head and said in a low voice, "I promised you, why are you so unhappy."

"Don't you regret it? Coming to this place, the conditions are so poor, and the school is also poor, so you can have a bright future." Shu Xia took off her glasses, took a piece of paper to wrap the gum, and took a sip of orange juice.

"Whether the future is good or not is up to me. Shu Xia, everyone's choice is different, so don't feel wronged or worthless for me. This is my own choice." Ji Xi looked at him, "You know me mean?"

"Yeah. I understand, it's just...forget it." Shu Xia watched the hero and heroine embrace each other affectionately on the screen, "I'm just afraid of hurting you, then I will be guilty of a serious crime."

"I don't want to hear this a second time." Ji Xi leaned over and whispered, "I know what I'm doing, so don't worry about it. I'm happy here."

"Okay." Shu Xia said in a muffled voice.

One after another, they left the venue, and they became the last people.

Ji Xi took his hand and walked down the steps. When an aunt came in to clean it, he didn't let go of his hand and kept holding it.

It doesn't matter if you see it, they are just ordinary couples who like each other.

"Ji Xi, this year, let's celebrate together!"

When walking out of the cinema, Shusha pulled his hand and smiled happily.

"Okay, let's live together."

……

Ji Xi's movie theater date plan was ruined all of a sudden, what stealing kisses, what holding hands, what feeding each other... all fucking changed!

It almost made people cry.

He secretly moved watching movies, a must-have item for dating, to the end, he might as well go for a ride!

But winter is too cold.

Playing basketball is also a good choice.

He silently thinks about what else Shu Xia would like. He is a person who will settle for everything. At present, he only knows that he doesn't like meat, loves to study, and is a little sensitive. He doesn't know anything else.

Looking at the increasingly unfamiliar place, he came back to his senses and held Shu Xia, "Where is this?"

"Playground." Shu Xia said.

With the dim light of more than ten meters away, Ji Xi didn't realize that this was a playground, and the wasteland was more or less the same.

The kind of scrapyard with piles of tires and steel.

"Are you sure this is a playground?" Ji Xi looked around, it was dark and a little creepy.

"Well, the former playground was built by the former owner of the coal factory. Before it was completed, something happened and it became an abandoned site." Shu Xia pulled open the barbed wire and got in through a hole half a person's height.

Ji Xi followed in, it was really a wasteland.

There are garbage, iron sheets, tires, and a smell of rust everywhere.

"It's late at night, why are you here?" Ji Xi asked.

There was no light inside, so Shu Xia turned on the flashlight of her mobile phone, and there was a path full of weeds under her feet, Ji Xi grabbed his hand and walked staggeringly.

"There's something I want to show you." Shu Xia kicked away the can at her feet.

Ji Xi swallowed: "What is it? It's mysterious, and it's not afraid of bumping into ghosts at night."

"Isn't there you?" Shu Xia looked back at him, "Besides the two of us, even if there are ghosts, we are not afraid."

Ji Xi swallowed the words in his throat. He is actually afraid of ghosts, especially this kind of wasteland. There was a case in the news before. The murderer killed people and threw them into the wasteland. The rot and maggots, this wasteland It looks more and more like the one on TV.

"This is the place I loved the most when I was a child, and nobody disturbs me." Shu Xia held onto Ji Xi's hand tightly, "Be careful where you step, there are a lot of iron nails here, don't step on them."

Ji Xi was so frightened that he turned on the flashlight of his mobile phone, and after a glance, there were indeed, rusty nails with sharp points, half of which were stuck in the wood block, and the other half stood like thorns.

"What's your hobby? You have found such a remote place." Ji Xi walked carefully, afraid of being stabbed into the soles of his feet, and it hurts just thinking about it.

"It wasn't remote back then, and no one came after it was abandoned." Shu Xia said, "In junior high school, he beat people a lot, and I couldn't beat them, so I had to run here and hide."

Ji Xi was stunned for a moment before realizing that the "he" Shu Xia was talking about should be his father.

"Why did you hit you?" Ji Xi asked in a muffled voice, such an outstanding academic master was willing to hit you.

"Maybe it's because I lost my job and was bored, and I had a bad temper after drinking alcohol. In addition, I didn't study well during that time, and I fell asleep in class. I invited parents a few times, and then I was beaten. The first time I was born and the second time I was familiar with it. I became addicted to beating. " Shu Xia led him around a corner: "At that time, I was only a little over 1.5 meters, and I couldn't beat him, so I had to hide."

In front of him is a dilapidated slide, which has faded and is faintly red. Only then did Ji Xi believe that this place is really a playground.

"Haven't you always been good at studying? The certificates on the wall of your house are a whole wall!" Ji Xi looked at him incredulously, "If you don't study well, then other people don't even count as scumbags, they are mentally retarded, right?"

"Pfft, didn't you see that I have very few certificates in the second term of the sixth grade and the first semester of the first year of junior high school?" Shu Xia stopped and said with a smile: "During that time, I was not in a good state, and it didn't look like a rebellious period. It’s just that I’m not in the mood to study.”

"Just here?" Ji Xi pointed to the surroundings, it was pitch black, and there was nothing to look at.

"Well, this slide is my favorite." Shu Xia pointed to a place in front that she couldn't see clearly, "There is a pirate ship over there, but it's useless, it's all broken, and only this one is left to play. "

"You took me to see the slide in the middle of the night?" Ji Xi couldn't explain, "If you want to play, let's find time to go to the amusement park, it's too shabby here."

Shu Xia looked at him helplessly, "Do you think I will still play with such childish things?"

He climbed the slide, slid down, and disappeared.

Ji Xi climbed up and saw him looking around below, "What are you looking for?"

"Hush!" Shu Xia put her finger on her lips.

It was the first time Ji Xi saw him like this, he was a little surprised, this Shu Xia was like a carefree child, secretly hiding delicious things, telling his partner with squinted eyes, quietly, don't move.

"What are you doing?" He chuckled, "Sneaky."

Shu Xia whistled, leaving Ji Xi stunned. Before he could slide down, the sound of rustling sound scared him, and he hurriedly grabbed the railing of the slide: "What is it?"

"Here, this." Shu Xia pointed at the gadget in front of her, her eyebrows and eyes curved.

Ji Xi looked along: "Fuck, is this a cat, a dog, or a mouse?"

The round eyes glow under the light, and the small head looks at people with a round head. What the hell is this?

Like a cat, like a dog, like a mouse, like a squirrel, the combination of four different, brown and yellow, a small one, not afraid of people!

"Are you illiterate? This is a weasel, isn't it cute?" Shu Xia looked at him with a smile.

"Weasel?" Ji Xi slid down, and the little thing ran away immediately, "Fuck, what are you interested in? This thing...isn't it a wild animal?"

"I don't have a family, it's wild!" Shu Xia whistled again, the little thing came out from the hole under the slide, and looked at people stupidly.

Seeing Ji Xi, a stranger, he moved towards Shu Xia.

"Fuck, did you raise it?" Ji Xi pointed and asked, "Can people raise this thing?"

The weasel had no good intentions in wishing the chicken a new year, he only thought of this.

"I don't know. I was still young when I picked it up, smaller than a newborn kitten. It's pitiful. After two mouthfuls of bread, I grew up and knew me." Shu Xia poked its head. , that little thing is not afraid of people, just let him play with it.

"This... how many years have you kept it?" Ji Xi sat down next to him, not daring to reach out to touch it. He has no feelings for furry animals, and he will not touch them if he can.

"I picked it up in the first year of junior high school, it's been more than four years." Shu Xia took out a small piece of bread from her pocket, tore it open and fed it.

"I'll go, you brought food, it's grown so big, doesn't it run away?" How can wild animals establish relationships with people?Still a weasel!Restless and kind weasel!

"You still eat bread, what the hell, don't you have diarrhea?" Ji Xi asked.

"Uh... No way, I feed it like this every time, you see, it likes to eat it too." Shu Xia pointed to it and said that she liked it quite a bit, and it took a few bites of a small bun.

The corner of Ji Xi's mouth twitched, "You often come to feed me? Why didn't I notice?"

After being together for so long, I didn't know that my boyfriend kept a gadget outside. What a failure!

"No, it only comes here in winter, I just came here today to take a look." Shu Xia patted its head, the little thing really deserved its name, uneasy and kind, it shrank into the hole after eating.

Ji Xi followed to see.

There is a fist-sized hole at the bottom of the slide, which is pitch black. Shu Xia stopped him from taking pictures with his mobile phone, "Don't take pictures of it, it is timid and afraid of people, so it won't come to this hole in the future."

Fuck!Even the timid one came out and ate a piece of bread!

"Then why don't you take it back to raise?" Ji Xi sat back and turned off the flashlight of the phone.

"Where do I have time to raise him? Besides, it has grown up and doesn't need me to raise it anymore." Shu Xia said, "It has its own living environment, so what if it is taken home and raised to death?"

"You... feel that there is something in your words, you don't imply something, do you?" Ji Xi asked strangely.

"No, you're thinking too much. I'm here to see something else today." Shu Xia got up, patted the dust, and walked into the playground.

"Could it be something weird again?" Ji Xi followed and held his hand, "Why is your hobby so weird?"

"What's so strange? It's just a small animal, and I didn't bring it back. This is not a small animal." Shu Xia shook her hand and led him into a wasteland full of weeds.

There is a swing, useless, the rope is broken on one side.

Red, green and green broken toys were scattered and buried in the weeds, Ji Xi followed Shu Xia around a few times, "Hey, did you really bring me to see things?"

"Really, it's just been too long, I forgot where it was." Shu Xia kicked away the fragments of the toy, and found a sharp-edged shovel. After several rounds of searching, she couldn't find where it was buried.

"What?" Ji Xi helped to look around, there was a mess of grass and toy fragments, there was nothing to look at.

"Letter, it's for you." Shu Xia said.

"Ah?" Ji Xi looked at him in surprise, they only knew each other for half a semester, and they still wrote letters?

"That, it's for the future half." He coughed a few times in embarrassment, and continued to search.

"Damn it, you... are quite far-sighted! Then what did you write?" Ji Xi asked.

Shu Xia shook her head, "I can't remember. There was a letter and a few other things. I remembered that they were buried here. Why can't I find them?"

"Why do you suddenly want to give it to me?" Ji Xi grabbed him and pressed his shoulder, "Tell me?"

"I suddenly thought of it while watching a movie." Shu Xia dodged her eyes in embarrassment, not daring to look at his face.

"How old were you when you wrote it?" Ji Xi asked.

"In the second year of junior high school, the teacher asked me to write to my future self, so I wrote a lot of them in a mess, so I buried one." Shu Xia said.

Ji Xi chuckled, "Are you so precocious? You started fantasizing about your future partner at a young age?"

"No, I just scribbled." Shu Xia broke away from his hand, buried her head and continued to search.

"Then what does the other half of your fantasy look like, is it male or female?" Ji Xi asked.

"Ah?" Shu Xia thought for a long time, "I haven't thought about it, it's the other half of the writing, I haven't thought about what it looks like."

"Tsk tsk, so you are such a top student!" Ji Xi shook his head and chuckled, "Think about what symbolic things were there when you buried them."

"Just this swing." Shu Xia pointed to the tattered swing behind which could barely be seen clearly.

"Brother Xia, the scope is too big, can you remember?" Ji Xi sighed, pulled him into his arms, and said softly: "Okay, it's already late, did you forget that you have to go to work?"

"But... I want to see what was written, and there are toys, which I reluctantly buried." Shu Xia was not reconciled, how did she remember it at that time?

"We still have a lot of time, think slowly, we're going back, aren't you cold?" Ji Xi turned on his phone and took a look, it was 11:30 in the evening.

He showed Shu Xia the phone, "Check the time, can you come back next time?"

Shu Xia nodded helplessly.

When passing by the slide, Shu Xia whistled, and that chubby thing ran out, with a pair of small round eyes, pitiful and cute.

"Do you want to touch it?" Shu Xia looked up at Ji Xi.

"Ahem, no, it doesn't know me yet, don't be scared." Ji Xi put his hands in his pockets and squeezed his fingers.

"Okay, then let's go, and dig when I have time, I clearly remember it is there."

"Let's go!" Ji Xi led him and walked back slowly.
