camouflage

Where the dream began, they made a wish to venture bravely, so what if they fell down, playing the time with colors along the way, holding hands and stepping into the distance.

Escape is not because of cowardice, but because there is no need to continue.

After staying in the hospital for a week, Shu Xia agreed to leave with Ji Xi, abandon everything, and go to a completely strange place, strange environment, strange people, everything is strange.

He mustered up the courage to take that step.

Mei Ting was very obedient and moved into the nursing home. She didn't know what Ji Xi said, but she just went in.On the day he left the hospital, Mei Ting looked at him with tears in her eyes, said nothing, and went to the nursing home just like that.

Ji Xi helped him complete all the procedures, which seemed to be very easy, but when he helped Mei Ting apply for the subsidy for the seriously ill, it was so difficult and he couldn't get it approved.Right now, within two days, Ji Xi has done everything for him.

It turns out that some things that are difficult for him are easy for others.

I don't know if it's because my ability is too poor, or the society is too realistic and too cruel.

However, he is sincerely grateful to Ji Xi, that is his light!

He borrowed 10 yuan from Ji Xi for Mei Ting's treatment and recuperation expenses, wrote an IOU and stamped it, and he bowed his head once, and couldn't do it again.

Ji Xi, who was able to take away the person, was already satisfied, and readily agreed, and tried his best to satisfy whatever request he had.

He asked Lao Lai for help, and he helped Shu Xia transfer to No. [-] Middle School in City A. He also asked for a class, and a dormitory for living in the school. He wanted to be in Lao Lai's class, and Lao Lai was so angry that he wanted to beat him to death.

I missed the final exam of No. [-] Middle School, but now I don’t have the heart to care about the exam. Shen Shi tried to persuade him a few times, and Ji Xi dismissed them one by one. Seeing him, I couldn’t get angry, even though I knew it had nothing to do with him. It's a matter, but...he called people over, and he jumped down in front of his eyes, but he didn't hold back.

Two days before leaving, I ate the last meal with Qi Xin and the others.

The decision was too hasty, Qi Xin and the others couldn't react, they couldn't find anything to say, what should they say?

What can we do now that the trouble has come to this?

The last meal was to eat hot pot, Ming Lu's mandarin duck restaurant, they were not polite to eat expensive ones.

But the delicious food was right in front of them, but the few people couldn't arouse their interest.

"Brother Xi, will you still play games in the future?" Qi Xin was drunk while holding the wine bottle, "Xueba, can I still eat the meals you cook in the future?"

Ji Xi took a sip of the wine, and he didn't feel much reluctance, and was even happy.He looks happy with everyone, but in fact, he is the same as Shu Xia in his heart, few people take it to heart, Tang Jing grew up with him in a pair of pants, he didn't even think about him for a second in the exam, and he did not hesitate. Here comes this little broken city.

"I will fight." He said without disappointment.

"Shu Xia, will you still give me tutoring?" Qi Xin asked the person next to Ji Xi again.

Shu Xia smiled, did not speak, ate food silently, and several people drank in embarrassment, only Qi Xin was still chattering, "Speak up, we have been playing for so long, don't you miss me?" ?”

"In the future, if you encounter problems, please send me a WeChat message." Shu Xia clinked glasses with him, but didn't drink, he didn't want to drink today, "I'll make up for you when I'm online, if you cook, there is always a chance. "

"Okay, it's done." Qi Xin drank it all in one gulp.

"As for me, I won't say hypocritical things, we will meet again in the future." Ming Lu raised his glass and took a sip, "You take a step first, I will be there soon."

"Brother Xi, Brother Xia, come on." Liu Yang said.

Meng Ke took a look, raised his glass sullenly, "Contact more."

Ji Xi glanced at Qi Lei, signaling to him.

Qi Lei rolled his eyes in a rare way, "Forget it, I knew you were going to leave, and I only told Shu Xia." He raised his glass to Shu Xia, "Although we don't have much friendship, I still hope you Well, the future is bright."

Shu Xia smiled, clinked glasses, and replaced the wine with boiled water.

Xing Yi was crying and wiped away his tears, "Shu Xia, you will always be my idol! Come on!"

Mu Yao also let go of his savagery, "Although we don't know each other well, you are a good person, and good luck is not bad for a good person. Let's work hard in the future!"

"Thank you." He smiled.

"Brother Xi, from now on, take care of Xueba more, or we'll beat you up!" Qi Xin hugged the wine bottle, blushing, and almost couldn't open his eyes.

He has been with Ji Xi for more than a year, fighting, playing games, and traveling, with deep feelings, and he couldn't help but want to cry, "Brother Xi, I can't bear you."

"Okay, what's the point of being hypocritical?" Ji Xi took his wine bottle away and gave him a piece of meat with chopsticks.

After they drank and ate sullenly, Ji Xi took Shu Xia's hand and watched them walk away with his arm.

"Where else do you want to go?" Ji Xi took his hand and walked on the street.

"Playground," he said.

"Okay." Ji Xi took him to see Weasel on his bicycle.

It's a pity that I didn't see it, the playground was much dilapidated, and Shu Xia sat for a while before leaving.

Went to Liu Qiang's Internet cafe, the corner where he stayed for almost two years, Liu Qiang said goodbye to him with a smile, and settled the salary.

When we went to the highway, the afternoon sun was still very hot, making people sweat all over.

Shu Xia sat on the stone pier, hugged the guitar, looked at him with a smile, "Play this song again for the last time, thank you."

"Take off the hat, isn't it hot?" Ji Xi stood next to him to cover half of the sun, a wound was left on his head, the surrounding hair was shaved, and he has been wearing a baseball cap since the gauze was removed .

"It's okay, I'm not hot." He lowered his head to adjust, and plucked the string lightly.

He looked up at him and smiled, "I started?"

"Well, good." Ji Xi nodded, looking at the person who has changed a lot, he may have broken free from the shackles and is not used to it, or he is too nervous and afraid of the road ahead, he has not been very talkative these two days, and his expression is sad calamity.

The silk melody was pulled out from between her fingers, Shu Xia lowered her head, whispered softly, and gradually made a sound.

The window in the wind and rain is far away, and the fluttering sail is leaning against the shore.

The pain in the time is long and continuous, and the sleeping heart is flying because of you.

In the sound of your footsteps, the stars light up quietly, illuminating my dark side.

Floating with the wind, drifting into the distance.

When I look back, you smile and hug me.

The light in the dark night flickers on and off, your eyes are full of starlight.

The vastness and emptiness in youth, your embrace, the spring grass warms the sun.

The stars light up quietly in the sound of your footsteps, guiding me in the direction I am going.

Run with the dream, run to the distance.

When I open my eyes, you are beside me.

……

The light in the dark night flickers on and off, your eyes are full of starlight.

The vastness and emptiness in youth, your embrace, the spring grass warms the sun.

The stars light up quietly in the sound of your footsteps, guiding me in the direction I am going.

Run with the dream, run to the distance.

When I open my eyes, you are beside me.

……

The prelude is low in the dust, the voice is low, and the climax part in the back seems to break free. The clear and clear voice of a teenager echoes on the highway, with relief and freedom, full of nostalgia and yearning.

End of a song.

Ji Xi leaned over to hug him, and sighed: "It sounds good, we will go further afield together."

"Hmm." He nodded.

Ji Xi let go of him, held his face and looked at the tears on his face, and wiped him, more and more, he sighed, hugged him and kissed him deeply for a while before stopping, stroking the corners of his eyes, "Again Play it again, I want to listen to it again."

"Okay." Shu Xia continued to pluck the strings.

Slowly humming the starlight that belongs to him.

After staying for a long time, they left the highway, a place that carried many of their memories.

The luggage in the apartment has been packed, two suitcases and a guitar.

The clothes and shoes were delivered two days ago, and they have very few things.

In the evening, Ji Xi slaughtered the grass and asked Shu Xia to fry it.

The fish that had been raised for almost a year entered their stomachs on the last night.Ji Xi said that if it is released, it will enter other people's stomachs. He has kept it for so long, and he has long wanted to kill it!

When lying on the bed, both of them couldn't fall asleep, and they didn't say a few words. They looked at each other quietly, and Shu Xia's tears couldn't stop dripping down.

"What's wrong?" Ji Xi wiped it off for him, with a soft tone, "Afraid? Or reluctant?"

"It's not very solid." He pushed hard into Ji Xi's arms, "It's like a dream."

"It's not a dream, brother Xi is covering you, don't be afraid." Ji Xi touched the outer edge of the scar on his head, not daring to use force, the wound was covered with ointment, and it was slowly scabbing over.

"Brother Xi, please hurt me." He whispered.

"it is good."

Lingering all night, Shu Xia clung to him like an octopus, time and time again, exhausted, before falling asleep.

The next day she woke up after three poles, and Shu Xia wanted to go back to see Shu Daqing for the last time.

The little turtle was too small to eat, so they decided to take it back and release it, and put it in Dawanzi Lake. Shu Xia finally visited her home and burned paper money for Shu Daqing.

The tomb was covered with weeds, and the writing on the stele had changed color after months of wind, rain and sun.

Everything has changed.

Ji Xi accompanied him to many places, cycling, walking, revisiting all the places they passed, except for the two tourist places, too far away to have a chance.

In the afternoon, I went to the nursing home to see Mei Ting.

Did not go in, just glanced at the door from a distance.

The environment of the nursing home is not good, but there are quite a lot of people, and there are also many medical staff. Mei Ting is embroidering with a person of her age, with a calm and faint smile on her face.

"Don't worry, I have contact information for the doctors and nurses here, and I have told Qi Xin and the others, they will come to visit occasionally, and they will tell us what's going on." Ji Xi comforted him and reassured him concerns.

"Well, I know." Shu Xia breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the small garden inside. No matter how bad the environment is, it is better than the one at home. There is nothing to be picky about. In the future, when he graduates and works, he will change her to a better one. .

"Let's go back!" He smiled.

Ji Xi quietly breathed a sigh of relief, took his hand and walked back.

After eating casually in the evening, they went back to the bedroom.

Ji Xi pulled out miscellaneous things from under the bed, gifts from Tang Jing, gifts from Qi Xin and the others... a lot, very miscellaneous, and the little house bought at the fair was given to Shu Xia.

He hugged and fought all night, took it apart, and Ji Xi accompanied him to fight and take it apart.

There is also that pug dog that has been stuffed under the bed since Shu Xia moved in. It is a wrinkled ball, and one side of the sunglasses is broken. It looks silly, like the first time I saw Shu Xia in an Internet cafe. With a smile on his face, he asked others if they wanted to pack the night.

On the second day, Ji Xi left the house and gave the motorcycle to Qi Xin and the others, a public car.

Under their reluctant eyes, they put their arms around Shu Xia's shoulders and walked away.

Two teenagers, white figures, both wearing baseball caps, pulled two suitcases, one was carrying a guitar, the other was on each other's shoulders, and left the small town. Someone who has been here for 17 years.

Qi Xin and the others couldn't help crying.

Seeing their figures gradually blending into the crowd and never being seen again, the three of them walked away with arms crossed.

Shu Xia was sitting on the bus, looking out the window, the bus was still in sight, and people on the bus were chatting, there were children, there were old people, and they didn't know where they were going.

"What's the matter?" Sitting next to him, Ji Xi asked softly, "Afraid?"

Shu Xia turned her head to look at him, "I'm not afraid, I'm just nervous." Nervous about the unknown, nervous about leaving the familiar environment, nervous about stepping into the circle of Ji Xi... There are too many, mixed together, making him uneasy .

"I'm here, don't be nervous." Ji Xi plugged the earphones into his ears, a familiar tune, a little strange voice.

"Why did you record it?" Shu Xia turned to look at him in surprise, "I didn't sing it well, next time, I'll sing it when I'm ready."

"It's very good. I've been repeating it all morning. I'll never tire of listening to it. I'll listen to it for a lifetime." Ji Xi said with a smile.

Shu Xia smiled, closed her eyes, her voice was in her ears, it was very strange, people rarely listen to her own voice because of shyness, but it is her own voice!

It turns out that his bass is like this, a little bit soft, and his treble is like this, a little bit crisp, and there is a sound of breathing, which is clear.

The moment the car started, he opened his eyes suddenly, grabbed Ji Xi unconsciously with his fingers, pursed his lips, and his whole body tensed up.

His voice came from my ears: When I open my eyes, you are by my side.

"It's okay, it's okay, don't be nervous, relax..." Ji Xi squeezed his hand to calm his emotions.

It seems the doctor was right.

Ji Xi patted gently, Shu Xia might really have a psychological problem, and the long-term depression could not be relieved.

But what?With him, everything will be fine.

"It's okay, I just didn't realize it all at once." Shu Xia leaned back and relaxed her body.

"Well, are you thirsty? Do you want water?" Ji Xi took out his thermos, poured water out and handed it to him, wiping the sweat from his forehead, "Is it hot?"

"Well, a little." Shu Xia took a sip.

"Take off the hat." Ji Xi stretched out his hand.

"No, I'm not hot anymore." Shu Xia immediately grabbed his hand, "I'm really not hot."

"But, your palms are sweaty." Ji Xi turned on the air conditioner above him, looked him in the eyes, "Shu Xia, it's no big deal."

"I know." Shu Xia lowered her eyes and said in a low voice.

"Duplicity." Ji Xi didn't force him, interlocked his fingers, and pressed his head to lean on his shoulder, "Sleep, sleep will be there soon."

"Liar, you said you have to transfer trains and planes." Shu Xia leaned on his shoulder, listening to her own song.

"Well, it's okay anyway, it's still early, you haven't slept all night, aren't you sleepy?" Ji Xi touched his chin with a smile.

"Sleepy." He closed his eyes.

The people next to him looked at him occasionally, but Ji Xi didn't care, he was just a passer-by on the way, and couldn't arouse any ripples in him.

You only live in the eyes of others, so why come to this world again?When you come, you should live out your own self, what other people's eyes matter, happiness and sorrow are all your own.

Ji Xi always lives in accordance with the thoughts in his heart.

Except for Shu Xia, he can always easily disintegrate all his persistence.

He turned on his phone and sent Tang Jing a message.

Ji Xi: Daughter, get ready to welcome you Ba Ba and Ma Ma.

Tang Jing replied quickly: Damn, are you really convinced?Awesome!

Tang Jing: What time do you arrive?I'm not going to class anymore, let me catch you up.

Ji Xi: Just got in the car.

Tang Jing: Damn, what are you in a hurry for?see you tomorrow!

Ji Xi: Tsk tsk, disrespectful.

Tang Jing: No, how did you persuade me?

Ji Xi looked down at the sleeping person, smiled, and replied: Baba is very charming, do you still need to persuade him?

Tang Jing: He... is so brave!

Tang Jing: I actually believe you, a scumbag!

Ji Xi: What happened to me?

Tang Jing: Hehe, did Baba forget that you also have a nominal girlfriend?

Ji Xi: Since when did I have a girlfriend?Don't talk nonsense, Ba Ba is not interested in girls, but has a strong interest in you.

Tang Jing: Isn't Mama a girl?

Ji Xi: If you don't mind having two bullies, I don't object either.

Tang Jing: Get out!Addicted to taking advantage?

Ji Xi: Who do you blame for your dissatisfaction?

Tang Jing: Stop talking, Lao Lai is here.

Lao Lai?Ji Xi curled his lips, what is Lao Lai afraid of?

Isn't he just a single dog?

They didn't arrive in the city until four hours later, Shu Xia followed Ji Xi to get off the bus in a daze, and looked at the familiar yet unfamiliar station, he had only been here more than a month ago, and this time, he would not return, he would Continue to the next stop.

Ji Xi dragged the suitcase out and waved: "Brother Xia, come here, this way."

Shu Xia followed, carrying his guitar on his back, watching the scorching sun above his head, Ji Xi really did what he said, and called him Brother Xia casually, how could he look like Brother Xia now?How can you be a big brother when you can't find your way when you go out?

"Let's go eat first and rest for a while before leaving. I have booked a ticket for two o'clock in the afternoon." Ji Xi took his shoulders, each with a suitcase, and followed the flow of people out.

In the busy world, the confusion from last time was gone, Shu Xia followed Ji Xi obediently, and walked out through the crowded crowd.

"What do you want to eat?" Ji Xi looked around, there were many shops, and there were all kinds of food.Shu Xia ate very little these days, and she didn't even eat in the first few days. If Li Taibai hadn't given him two books, I don't know how long it would take to get stuck in her own world.

"I don't have any appetite, I want to drink ice." Shu Xia pulled his hat to cover the sun. He is hot now and wants to soak in the water and roll around.

"Okay, let's go to the drink shop." Ji Xi led him away, he had a good sense of direction, he didn't look at the road very much, and walked casually.

Shu Xia looked back at the winding road, he couldn't find the way back, "Do you remember the road? What if we miss the bus?"

"Tsk, what are you worrying about? I remember." Ji Xi smiled lightly, pointing to the Qingliangyixia shop opposite, "How about that one?"

"Whatever." Shu Xia didn't quite understand either.

"Then go there, get closer." Ji Xi glanced at his listless look, "What's wrong? Are you tired?"

"Well, I don't have much strength." Shu Xia buried her head and followed beside him, wanting to sleep, want to sit down, didn't want to move, couldn't lift up.

"Tsk, it's time to exercise!" Ji Xi took off his guitar and carried it on his back, fixed the suitcase, and pulled him over to sit on it, "Sit down, I'll push you away."

"Won't it break?" Shu Xia glanced at the box under her buttocks, afraid that it would break open in a second, how embarrassing it would be!

"With your current body, don't worry about it." Ji Xi pushed his back, he was skinny, and his back was full of bones, "I'll make up for you when I get home, it's too thin. "

"Go home?" Shu Xia choked, and looked up at him.

"Well, go home, our home." Ji Xi smiled and rubbed his shoulder.

Shu Xia pursed her lips, he was walking alone in a strange world, but Ji Xi said to take him home, his eyes couldn't stop being sour, this word was too warm, he couldn't handle it at all.

"Don't cry, if you cry again, I'll beat you up." Ji Xi said angrily, pushing him forward, "You really have a lot of golden beans, count carefully how many you dropped in front of me?"

"Innumerable." He also couldn't remember, he would not cry so blatantly before, and he would hide and drop two drops at most, but when he met Ji Xi, he couldn't control it, he felt wronged by everything, and couldn't help it.

"You, it's Brother Xia, let's call it Xia Yu." Ji Xi said with a smile.

There were a lot of people in the store, Ji Xi took a seat, put the suitcase on the other side of the table, took off the guitar, sat down next to him, "What do you want?"

The menu is full of food and drink, Shu Xia glanced at it and handed it to him: "You choose."

"Lazy," Ji Xi took it and glanced at it, "Wait, I'll go and order."

There were too many people in the store, and there was no waiter to greet him. Ji Xi went to the cashier to look at the menu and ordered two bowls of mung bean porridge, two cups of milk tea, and a fried chicken.

Shu Xia leaned against the wall next to her, looking at the incompatible place, feeling that she was too far away from her, unable to blend in.

"Why are you in a daze?" Ji Xi sat down next to him.

"No, how long before we arrive?" he asked.

"Tomorrow at noon, rest tonight." Ji Xi wiped his face with a piece of paper, and tested the temperature of his forehead, "Why are you sweating so much, and you don't feel hot?"

"It's okay, it's like this in summer, I like to sweat." Shu Xia took it and wiped it by himself. He is prone to sweating and dehydration in summer, so he has to carry a water bottle from time to time.

"It's fine if you have nothing to do. Don't carry it if you have something to do. This is not your territory anymore. I'll be unambiguous in what I do." Ji Xi squeezed his hand in a vicious voice.

Shu Xia smiled lightly, leaned against the wall and faced him, her eyebrows and eyes curved, "Can you still hit me?"

"Why don't you believe it? If you dare to make a mistake, I will really beat you up." He said viciously.

"Wouldn't it be worse if you beat me up?" Shu Xia sang the opposite tune.

"...the way of beating you is not limited to hands." Ji Xi looked at him with a half-smile.

He immediately shut up knowingly, feeling that Ji Xi was going to tease him again.

After waiting for a while before they arrived, Ji Xi broke apart the fried chicken and gave him a drumstick, "It must be eaten, if you choose again, I will really beat you."

"I didn't choose." Shu Xia took it and took a bite, "It's delicious."

"Learn, go back and fry one for me." He said.

"En." Shu Xia nodded.

After eating and drinking enough, the two rested in the store until one o'clock before slowly heading to the station to continue the next journey.

Sitting in the car, it was really boring, Ji Xi took out his guitar, and slowly plucked the strings, they were all little tunes, short and short, and played whatever came to mind.

Shu Xia leaned against the window and looked at him with a smile on her face, all her nervousness and confusion disappeared at this moment.

The people in the car were very face-saving, they applauded after playing a song, and started ordering songs.

"Little brother, will you confess to the balloon, pop one!" The girl next to him greeted him with a smile, showing two canine teeth.

"Come one! It's so boring in the car." Someone echoed.

Ji Xi smiled, glanced at Shu Xia, hooked out the familiar melody with his fingertips, and hummed along to the beat if he could sing.

The restraint and unfamiliar barrier disappeared all of a sudden, and the people in the car began to sing, whether it was pop or folk, soothing or rock, everyone had a good time, and the boring time was spent in laughter.

When we got off the bus, everyone was still pulling and chatting with each other. The driver yelled a few words before everyone smiled and waved, and each left.

Ji Xi saw that he was in a slightly better mood, "Are you happy?"

"Well, let's go." Shu Xia carried the guitar on her back and followed him.

"Hey!" Someone called, "Two little brothers in hats, wait!"

Ji Xi looked back and saw that it was the girl in the car who asked him to play the confession balloon. She was wearing yellow short-sleeved shorts and was 1.5 meters tall. He could barely see her face. She was so short!

The girl rushed in front of them, panting: "I have something for you."

She took out two paintings, comics, two teenagers in white clothes and black pants, wearing baseball caps, one carrying a guitar and the other on the shoulders of the other, two suitcases, one on the left and one on the right, and the other was playing in a car Ji's painting, the two teenagers look at each other with eyebrows and eyes curved.

It's them.

"This, I drew it just now, and I give it to you!" The girl handed over the painting.

Ji Xi took it with a smile: "Thank you."

"You're welcome." The girl said with a smile.

Ji Xi glanced at the painting, why did the style of this painting become more and more familiar the more he looked at it, he glanced at the girl, and shouted: "A good student who is a good bully?"

"Ah? How do you know my Weibo name?" The girl looked at him in surprise.

"Because... I'm the bully you can't afford!" Ji Xi smiled and grabbed Shu Xia's shoulder and left.

The girl was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses. She stared at the two people who were leaving, and cleverly took out her phone and clicked it.

mother!She has met God!

Damn!so excited!

Next to him is a good student who studies hard, right?definitely is!

Mom!

She actually met a real person!Two handsome little brothers, damn it!

Not her fantasy!

She excitedly looked at the backs of the two on the phone, tsk tsk, what a match!

She jumped around for a while before remembering that Allah accepted her painting, damn it!

God still pays attention to her?Fuck!

Then have those little dirty paintings of hers been seen?

What the hell!

"Is she the manga artist on Weibo?" Shu Xia looked at the drawing in her hand.

"Well, does this style of painting look familiar to you?" Ji Xi asked with a smile, "Tell me, what do you think after reading her comics?"

Those strange things appeared in Shu Xia's mind, his face flushed, he coughed twice, but didn't speak.

"I think you can try them all." Ji Xi smiled and grabbed his shoulders, "I'll try them all when I get back."

"Ahem..." Shu Xia rushed forward pushing the box, her heart beating wildly.

Ji Xi shouted from behind: "Come back, pass, pass."

Shu Xia looked back, and saw him pointing at the nearby hotel with a smile, "Here, come back here."

He moved back slowly, Ji Xi's ability to sing yellow accents was too strong, his skin might be eight feet thick, and he couldn't stand it.

"Run, if you have the ability to run," Ji Xi jumped up and put his head on his chest, "Didn't you come back obediently for me?"

"Let go." Shu Xia clapped his hands, "I didn't run away, who ran away?"

"Hehe, where did your eyes go? You don't even know if you've passed by?" Ji Xi carried him to the hotel, "Little bastard, you need to clean up!"

"You let me go."

"Don't let it go."

"I'm going to be angry!"

"Give birth, I won't release raw water either!"

"..."

......
