one punch

Holding the soy sauce bottle in his arms, Dou Tianxiao stared at the hero half a head taller than him without blinking.

His brain was very difficult to organize his words several times and he wanted to come forward to say thanks, but his legs froze in place.

After pretending to be deaf and dumb at school for more than a year, he has completely lost the courage to initiate conversations with strangers.

After paying the bill, the hero opened two packs of crispy noodles with the unopened cone in his mouth, took out the card and glanced at it, frowned in disappointment, and threw it into the trash can.

Dou Tianxiao knew that he was also collecting cards when he saw this action.

最近班里很流行收集这个卡片，规则上说集满1-33号卡片能兑换一箱干脆面，集满1-66号奖励零食大礼包一份，集满1-99号的奖励是一台自行车。

Dou Tianxiao and Ye Xi are also exchanging cards recently, and there are more than 20 cards before they can be exchanged for a box of crispy noodles.

Taking advantage of the hero's inattention, Dou Tianxiao lifted the lid, took out the top two cards, glanced at them, and was pleasantly surprised to find that he didn't have one of them.

He glanced at the busy sweeping aunt in the supermarket, put the card in his pocket as if nothing had happened, turned his face, and met the hero's gaze, and the blood in his body seemed to freeze in an instant.

The hero looked indifferent, as if he was looking at something strange.

Dou Tianxiao's head was clumsily running again, and he really wanted to ask "Do you want it anymore" or "Do you want it again" or "I'll give it back to you if you want it"...

But before he could ask, the hero pushed the door open with no expression on his face.

Holding the card in his pocket, Dou Tianxiao was at a loss. For the first time in his life, he felt ashamed of his behavior and deeply saddened by his clumsiness.

He strode out of the supermarket depressed and unhappy, and a familiar and gentle voice fell from the sky, which made him startled.

"Huh? Dou Tianxiao?"

Dou Tianxiao looked up and grinned in surprise, "Teacher Jiang!"

Teacher Jiang is Dou Tianxiao's kindergarten teacher, who has been brought up from the small class to the big class. Dou Tianxiao has a very good impression of Teacher Jiang, because she is not only beautiful and has a good voice, but also very gentle.

All the students in the class said in private that they wanted to be Teacher Jiang's child, and Dou Tianxiao was no exception.

Once at home, I had an awkward fight with my mother because of something, and blurted out, "I don't want a mother like you, I want to be Teacher Jiang's child", in exchange for a sneer from my mother, "You go Ah, go and be someone's son, if you want to be a man's son, they won't want you!"

Dou Tianxiao was so shocked that he never dared to mention it again.

But every time I see Teacher Jiang, I can't help but feel kind and warm.

Teacher Jiang looked this little guy up and down, and found that he was much taller, but his body was still the same as before. He was skinny and had no flesh, and his pants were dirty, as if he had just crawled out of a garbage dump.

"Did you fall into a ditch? You're so dirty." Teacher Jiang squatted on the bed to help him wipe off the dirt on his trousers, but unexpectedly found that his knee was scratched and blood beads appeared , it looks like it hasn't been treated in time, and the wound is still covered with dust.

"Why did you hurt your leg?"

Dou Tianxiao looked down at the wound on his knee, and then remembered that he had fallen on his knees on the way here just now. At that time, he was only focusing on protecting the soy sauce bottle in his hand, but he didn't pay attention to the injury on his leg. Until now, the knee has been aching.

"Jiang Ran," Teacher Jiang turned his head and shouted at the boy, "Go back and help Mom bring the small medicine box."

Dou Tianxiao followed her gaze and opened his mouth in surprise.

The hero is Mr. Jiang's son!

Dou Tianxiao's eyes instantly stared like glass beads.

Jiang Ran glanced at Dou Tianxiao's knee, and handed the freshly unpacked cone and crispy noodles to his mother, "Then help me get it."

Jiang Qing took the things, and instinctively turned on the education mode, "I bought these unnutritious things again, and refused to eat dinner after eating."

"I don't want to eat, I'm short of a Griffin card right now, I won't buy it after the collection!" Jiang Ran ran home after saying that.

"Why don't you eat and buy it here? Worshiping the ancestors?" Jiang Qing felt a headache when she heard the word Jika. She couldn't help opening her voice, but she held back when she remembered that there was a little girl next to her.

The scorching light in the afternoon made it hard to keep one's eyes open, Jiang Qing pulled Dou Tianxiao to the side under the shade of a tree, and the latter's eyes stayed on Jiang Qing's hand.

The melted chocolate and cream on the cone slowly slid down the shell, and a large drop of cream dripped from between the teacher's slender fingers to the ground.

Dou Tianxiao swallowed his saliva with some distress. He had never eaten this brand of cones before, because its price was ridiculously expensive. He still remembered that once his mother asked the price and howled directly, "Oh, it's so expensive to make gold!" Then he bought him fifty cents a salt water popsicle.

looks very tasty.

If you don't eat the top layer of chocolate, it will almost melt...

Dou Tianxiao pursed his lips.

Jiang Qing took out a paper towel from her bag to wipe her hands, and took out another one to wrap around the cone. Out of the corner of her eye, she clearly received two naked, rather cute eyes.

She looked up, and Dou Tianxiao quickly turned away to pretend to look at the scenery.

After a while, Dou Tianxiao glanced at the chocolate cone in her hand calmly again, and when he found that Teacher Jiang was looking at him, he turned his face away in embarrassment and hurriedly, swallowing uncontrollably.

Jiang Qing couldn't help laughing, and pretended to ask casually: "Little Douzi, do you want to eat the cone?"

Dou Tianxiao scratched his chin with his dirty little hand, thought for a moment, and shook his head. Although his saliva was almost enough to water the flowers, his reason told him that it was someone else's property. happy.

"It will melt if you don't eat it," Jiang Qing stuffed the cone into his hand, "Eat it, I'll just buy another one for Jiang Ran when he comes back."

After finding the reason and the way out, Dou Tianxiao's insignificant rationality was immediately forgotten, and he licked the edge of the cone happily.

The sweet taste of chocolate and cream permeated the mouth bit by bit, Dou Tianxiao licked off the dripping cream with heartache, the outer shell of this cone was not as soft and rotten as ordinary cones , crunchy to chew, and a subtle eggy aroma.

Dou Tianxiao, who ate the "sky-high price" cone for the first time, performed what it means to "smile brighter than the sun".

The taste of the salt water popsicle really couldn't compete with the taste of creamy chocolate. After two small bites, his heart was about to explode with joy.

Within 2 minutes, Jiang Ran rushed out of an alley not far away carrying a small aluminum medicine box.

Dou Tianxiao stopped talking in embarrassment. Although Mr. Jiang said that he would buy Jiang Ran a new one later, he had heard such a guarantee many times at home, and most of it was nothing. Jiang Ran bought a new one, should he return this one?

He glanced at the cone in his hand with reluctant eyes, and then at Jiang Ran.

"The cone is almost melting, so I'll give it to my little brother. You can buy another one later." Teacher Jiang saw Dou Tianxiao's worry and spoke first.

Jiang Ran's eyes fell on Dou Tianxiao's hand.

Dou Tianxiao looked like a child who had done something wrong, he licked his lips, lowered his head timidly, not daring to look at him.

"Oh," Jiang Ran spread his hands, "Give me the money."

Dou Tianxiao's heart skipped a beat, thinking he was asking for money, when he looked up, he saw Jiang's mother took out fifty cents from her trouser pocket, "Hey, it's only fifty cents, you can buy something else."

Dou Tianxiao saw Jiang Ran pouted and turned into the supermarket.

Jiang Qing took out tweezers and alcohol cotton to sterilize Dou Tianxiao's wound, and while putting away the bottle, Jiang Ran walked out of the supermarket with a salt water popsicle in his mouth.

Probably because of this hero's generous help, and because this hero is Teacher Jiang's son, Dou Tianxiao's brain, which was broken by the gate, became hot for a moment, and he resolutely threw the half-eaten cone in his hand towards him. Jiang Ran handed it over.

The reason why Dou Tianxiao made such a move was because at home and Ye Xi were "unevenly sharing the spoils", they often ate the same thing together, sometimes it was half a steamed bun left over, sometimes it was half a piece of chocolate, Eating a popsicle together is also common, but he forgot that this is not the little cousin at home who doesn't dislike anything.

Jiang Ran first looked at him with an unbelievable look, and then his expression changed from stunned embarrassment to naked, naked disgust, and he yelled unceremoniously: "Hey, those two lines of snot are about to die It's in your mouth, can you wipe it first?"

Dou Tianxiao opened his mouth slightly, sniffed his nose in a daze, feeling his cheeks were slightly hot.

"You still laugh at others, you did the same when you were a child." Jiang Qing smiled and pulled out a tissue. At this moment, Dou Tianxiao habitually stuck out the tip of her tongue to lick her lips.

"Ah!" Jiang Ran raised his hand in horror to stop, "Don't, don't, don't lick, are you dirty?"

Dou Tianxiao suddenly stiffened and did not dare to move his back, and let Mr. Jiang wipe off the snot and chocolate sauce from his lips for him.

I don't know why, but his aunt usually keeps saying things like "Is it dirty?" "Why did you drop your ass again?" When the eyes met, there was an inexplicable sense of shame.

At that time, the term "cleanliness" hadn't become popular yet. Dou Tianxiao only felt that the big boy in front of him was too clean, his skin was tender and fair, his eyes were clear and clear, and his hair was outstandingly beautiful. It is different from Xiaoyuancun, it is the length between the pot cover and the inch head, and it is very casual. According to the aesthetics of the time, this kind of child who exudes the light of a good student is a handsome guy.

However, Dou Tianxiao read a trace of disgust from the handsome guy's face.

But it's also not a good face, Dou Tianxiao feels that Jiang Ran's indifferent eyes are different from the contempt and indifference of his classmates.

Later, when he was in junior high school, he learned that there is a saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

What a shame...

For the first time, Dou Tianxiao's bohemian heart was under unprecedented pressure.If God is willing to give him a chance, he wants to be a clean kid.

The ice cream in his hand melted quickly. After Jiang Ran saw the cream on the back of Dou Tianxiao's hand, he quickly took out the last paper towel and handed it over, and ordered uncontrollably, "Eat it quickly!"

When Dou Tianxiao heard this, he couldn't care less about savoring it, he gnawed the cream on top like a storm and stuffed the cone shell into his mouth. Speak up.

After waving goodbye to Mr. Jiang and the others, Dou Tianxiao took out from the plastic bag in his hand the pack of crispy noodles he had just bought. The card was number 66, a new card he had never drawn before, and all the characters on it were He didn't know two words.

After struggling to read the pinyin above, something flashed in his head, and he immediately turned his head to search for the two familiar figures from behind.

"Eh--"

Facts have proved that anyone who yells on the main road, whether they shout "murderer" or "hey", basically returns 100%.

Jiang Ran didn't understand why he looked at the little dirty ghost who was running towards him from the other side of the road, and when he saw that he was about to jump on him, he took two steps back warily.

"Griffin!——" Panting, Dou Tianxiao raised the unopened card in his hand, "Mine is a Griffin!"

Jiang Ran raised his brows involuntarily, and after staring intently for a few seconds, he confirmed that it was really the No. 66 Griffin card. This card was collected by so many people in the class for almost two semesters and they failed to get it. really let go.

"Do you want it?" Dou Tianxiao generously stuffed the card into Jiang Ran's palm, "Give it to you!"

Jiang Ran squeezed the card and said "Oh" in a daze, "Thank you."

"You're welcome." Dou Tianxiao waved goodbye to them.

Many years later, whenever Dou Tianxiao recalled the day when he met Jiang Ran, he would feel that he must have been possessed by something, and that the shiny griffin card probably wiped him out. All good luck in this life.
