Absinthe

Zhong's father's unit was allocated a three-bedroom, one-living room in the family courtyard of the municipal government. It was right next to the municipal government, surrounded by green trees, and tall plane trees stood on both sides of the road.But the fly in the ointment is that it is not in the city center, and the neighborhood is not too prosperous. Mother Zhong complained to Zhong Xiu behind her father's back. She was not very satisfied with the location.

Zhong Xiu didn't care. Apart from being a little further away from the new school, there was nothing else to do here, and there were few cars and people around here, so maybe he could skateboard on the sidewalk at will.He searched on the map of his mobile phone and found that there was a skateboarding field nearby.

He was wearing a peaked cap, with a skateboard under one arm and a mobile phone in the other, looking like a stranger.

Following the route planned in the navigation, the voice "turn right 50 meters ahead" and stopped.

This is it. There is a large open space above Wanda's underground garage, which is a special playground for skateboarding. The curved ground is painted with a large number of gaudy graffiti, which is quite beautiful.

He hadn't been to the city center yet, so he didn't know much about the city's business district. Looking only at this place, it seemed to be developing well. He secretly compared the differences between the two cities in his heart.

He is very adaptable and can adapt quickly no matter where he goes.I can play alone all day, so I don't have to worry too much about how to integrate into the new school and the new group after school starts.

He always avoids crowded places as long as he can, and the bowl pool in front of him is empty, so he is quite satisfied with this venue.

Opposite the mall is an artificial lake with a nice view.It's just a bit windy by the lake.

Worried that his hat would be scratched off, he took it off, and walked forward for a while, to the vicinity of the artificial lake, where he found a group of people sitting on the grass by the lake and having a barbecue, next to a row of boards with graffiti skateboard.

At this time, someone came over from the side. The man was wearing a pair of orange sunglasses, dressed in street style, and held a skateboard in one hand.The two looked at each other, Zhong Xiu looked away first, and he recognized at a glance that this was the boy he met at the gas station that day.

Hao Ai saw Zhong Xiu's skateboard and smiled at him, "Hello, boardmate? Are you here for a barbecue?"

Zhong Xiu glanced at the warning sign next to it again. There were eight large red characters on it - no swimming, no barbecue

Looking at the group of barbecue people in front of me, I suddenly felt that the scene was a bit magical.

So he shook his head and said, "No, thank you."

Someone shouted on the grass: "Hao Ai, do you want to eat grilled eggplant? The last few skewers are here."

"Eat, eat, eat, here I come!" Then Hao Ai trotted over.

"Hao Ai... so cute?" Zhong Xiu muttered in a low voice. He thought the name was strange, but he didn't know which two words it was.

He was still standing there, and Hao Ai came over with a few skewers in his hand, which were grilled eggplants connected with flesh and blood.He handed it to Zhong Xiu, "Do you want to eat?"

"Thank you, I really don't want to eat."

Zhong Xiu still refused, he has no habit of eating food from strangers.

Hao Ai didn't feel embarrassed after being rejected twice, shrugged and said, "Okay."

The barbecue scene over there seemed to be over, people on the grass stood up to pack their things, Hao Ai shouted to the group of people: "Take all the garbage, don't throw it around."

Then he ran over to clean up with them.

Zhong Xiu wandered around and returned to the skateboarding ground just now.

He skated a few laps in the bowl pool. He didn't skateboard in a summer vacation, and his skills are not unfamiliar.

"666."

He had just finished a set of smooth chaos, when he heard the sound of applause behind him.Looking back, I found that it was Hao Ai and his friends I met just now.

Only then did he notice that this group of people were all dressed in street clothes, ripped trousers with a piece of thigh exposed, dirty sneakers with some glue on them, and everyone's flashy hair color. Except for Hao Ai, who was more well-behaved, the others could form a rebellious group. Tiantuan.

Hao Ai seemed to be a different kind among them. He was the only one with black hair, except that his hair was a little long.

"Are you new here?" A boy with red hair asked Zhong Xiu in an indistinct voice, with a cigarette still in his mouth.

"En." Zhong Xiu nodded coldly.

The redhead slid in front of Zhong Xiu as if deliberately showing off his skills, made a few tricks, and finally made a fake fall, and suddenly jumped up with the board, very cool and very pretending.

"Okay, stop pretending, she's not a girl." Hao Ai poured cold water on him.

The redhead smiled and said, "It's hard to find a newcomer, even if you're not a girl, you can be gay."

Several people laughed.

Hao Ai put the skateboard on the ground, sat down and asked casually, "Is there any work that pays fast?"

One person joked, "rob the bank, hurry up."

"What? Are you short of money?"

"Yeah." Hao Ai didn't deny it.

"I suggest you make a duck."

"Hao Ai must be the sexiest duck in the venue."

"Go away, I'm counting on a group of salted fish like you."

This group of people joked without seriousness, Hao Ai was used to it, raised his hand and hit the boy who spoke just now, but he didn't use much force.

Zhong Xiu frowned and remained silent. He didn't know what these people were doing, and he didn't want to speak rashly.They don't look very old, but they don't look like students, they should be street gangsters.

He is used to being alone, and he is always alone when he skateboards and tricks②. He doesn't like this kind of occasion where there are strangers around him. He thinks that he will not come here again in the future.
