Absinthe

Hao Ai didn't expect Zhong Xiu to come at all. He was at a loss when he saw him, but he still pretended to talk to him calmly, with a serious expression on his face: "Thank you."

Zhong Xiu had never seen him look so serious, but he felt embarrassed, "You're welcome."

Both were amused by such an official dialogue.

"Go into the elevator, it's on the opposite side." Hao Ai led Zhong Xiu to the opposite elevator.

Grandma was sitting on a bench outside the ward, with luggage bags beside her and under her feet.

"Grandma, I'll pick you up," Hao Ai picked up the luggage bag under her feet, and introduced to grandma, "This is my friend, Zhong Xiu, here to help carry the luggage."

"Hi, grandma, I'm Hao Ai's friend." Zhong Xiu said and picked up another luggage on the chair.

Grandma said: "Hey, okay."

Seeing him help with luggage, grandma said gratefully, "Thank you."

Zhong Xiu smiled and said, "It's okay, grandma, you're welcome."

Grandma fell into the habit of nagging again on the road, and said to Hao Ai brokenly: "You have to get on good terms with him."

Hao Ai nodded and said, "I see, grandma, we have a good relationship."

Zhong Xiu also promised: "Don't worry, grandma, I will take good care of him."

Hao Ai was taken aback when he heard this, and then smiled shyly.

"That's good, that's good." Grandma said.

The three walked through the crowd to the outside of the hospital. Hao Ai said to Zhong Xiu, "I have to take my grandma home first."

"Then I'll be with you."

Hao Ai reminded: "My home is far away from here."

"I've also taken the evening's leave." Zhong Xiu meant to send grandma home with him.

So Hao Ai took a taxi. He didn't choose to go to the bus station to take the bus. The bus stopped and stopped along the way was too bumpy and the bus was crowded. He was afraid that his grandma wouldn't be able to bear it.

When the taxi stopped at the entrance of the village, it was getting late.

Hao Ai's title of "Friends of Women" is indeed well-deserved. He greeted the middle-aged women sitting in front of his house with a smile on his face along the way, and he coaxed them into elation with a few words.

"arrive."

Hao Ai stopped at the end of the path, groped around in his schoolbag for a while before he found the key and opened the door in front of him.

"You sit first."

Hao Ai sent grandma to the back room to rest, let Zhong Xiu sit on the sofa, and took out the things in the luggage bag one by one and tidied them up.

Zhong Xiu sat on the sofa, quietly looking at every corner of the room.Hao Ai grew up freely here for more than ten years, before he grew up to what he is today, and he likes it in every way.

"I'll cook for you today, I agreed last time." Hao Ai looked at him with a smile.

"okay."

"Let me see what else is in the house." Hao Ai opened the refrigerator as he said, and it was empty as he expected.

"What do you like to eat?"

"It's all right."

Hao Ai muttered dissatisfiedly: "It's all right and whatever you want means the same thing. People who choose phobia hate these two words the most."

After hearing this, Zhong Xiu thought for a while and said, "I like spicy food."

The two went to the supermarket at the entrance of the village. Although the sparrow is small, it has all the internal organs, and basic daily necessities can be found here.

Hao Ai complained: "There are no fresh vegetables at this spot."

He picked up a potato and asked Zhong Xiu, "Do you want to eat potatoes?"

Zhong Xiu nodded: "Yes."

"Do you want to eat lettuce?" Hao Ai picked up the soil-stained green vegetables with a little disgust.

He saw Zhong Xiu frowned, and said, "OK."

Hao Ai put the green lettuce back with a smile: "I know you don't like this, and neither do I."

In the end, Hao Ai went home and made spicy potato chicken nuggets and tomato scrambled eggs. Zhong Xiu tasted it and thought it tasted good, much better than Yang Yingqiong's.

After eating, Hao Ai went to the kitchen to wash the dishes, and after washing, he lay his body on the sofa. Zhong Xiu saw that he was lazy like a bean bug, and said, "Lie down just after eating."

Hao Ai pulled Zhong Xiu's arm over and placed it under his head: "Yes, my biggest wish is to lie down freely, and lying down is the most comfortable."

Hao Ai turned over, grabbed Zhong Xiu's arm with one hand, and said to him, "Let me show you around here, alas, there's really nothing to do here, and there's not much fun in this small place. "

Zhong Xiu nodded.

"Wait for me first." Hao Ai jumped up like a carp.

He got up and went to the small room opposite the living room to open the door. Zhong Xiu took a look inside in the dim light. It was full of sundries, like a utility room.

After a while, Hao Ai came out, holding an old skateboard in his hand, which was stained with dust and dirty, and the paint was knocked off at the corners, exposing the original maple stubble.

"This is my first board." Hao Ai took out a damp cloth and carefully wiped off the dust on it. "It's a board that my neighbor's brother didn't want. He wanted to throw it away, but he gave it to me when I wanted it." .”

The sandpaper on this board is rough, and the board is also very hard, with almost no elasticity, obviously a toy board.

Hao Ai went on to say: "I was only in elementary school at that time, and I was running around on this board all day long, and no one cared about me. At that time, I didn't understand the difference between a toy board and a professional board, and I didn't know what to do. Only skating on flat ground and practicing the simplest Ollie, I feel a little scared now thinking about it.”

The safety hazard of the toy board is very great, and a little carelessness will lead to tragedy.

Hao Ai took Zhong Xiu to the big bare tree at the entrance of the village, and pointed to the stone benches and tables under the tree: "I used to come here with Qu Yihang, and we would sit here all afternoon."

"What are you doing here?"

"Do your homework," Hao Ai recalled with a smile, "I'm sitting here doing my homework, and Qu Yihang is waiting to copy mine."

The two walked forward again, and there was a steep slope ahead. Hao Ai said, "I used to love skating here all the time."

There are no street lights any further, and the front is pitch black, "Let's go back."

Zhong Xiu said, "Well, it's too dark ahead."

Hao Ai hastily denied it: "It's not that I'm afraid of the dark!" He started talking nonsense again, "I'm night blind, and I can't see the road clearly at night."

"That's it," Zhong Xiu smiled, and handed him an arm, "then you hold my arm, be careful not to fall."

The street lamps on both sides of the road were so dark that there was almost no light. The only thing that illuminated the road ahead was the bright moon in the sky. At this moment, the bright moon also illuminated Zhong Xiu's eyes.

Hao Ai felt that there was a mist in front of his eyes, and it is indeed easy to fog in winter nights.

"Zhong Xiu," he said suddenly, "how come you are so nice."

Zhong Xiu's heart jumped suddenly, as if it would jump out of his chest in the next second, "Really."

Hao Ai lowered his head and kicked the pebbles on the road. This road is an asphalt road that has been in disrepair for a long time, and it is full of potholes that have been run over.

"Well, I think you're too kind to me."

"Be nice to you, what's wrong? You're also nice to others." Zhong Xiu looked at his side face. When Hao Ai wasn't smiling, his face was a little indifferent. It looks no different from people who don't like to laugh, they are all the same indifferent, as if they have never shown a warm face before.

"It's different, Zhong Xiu, no one is willing to be nice to another person unconditionally, everyone has something in mind."

Some people have lived in the expectations of others since the day they came into this world. They are expected to speak early, walk early, become smarter and better sooner, and get the first place sooner... Expectations are often endless, so it is more in line with expect.

Hao Ai was originally not expected when he was born, and he was instilled with words that he was not expected. When someone expected him, he would be at a loss, and all the responses he did were instinctive.

Zhong Xiu was too kind to him. Although people always said that being nice to a person doesn't need a reason, Hao Ai felt that if he needed it, he needed to find a reason to make himself feel at ease.

He also knows that ordinary friends are not obliged to treat him so well.

Zhong Xiu stopped in his tracks and asked, "Then why are you being nice to others?"

"Qu Yihang has known me for more than ten years and treats me as a younger brother. Chen Rao likes me. I have always been kind to them, so I can accept all the kindness they treat me without any burden," Hao Ai said. He still looked indifferent, but his fingers clenched the corners of his clothes, "So, Zhong Xiu, what are you doing for?"

Zhong Xiu noticed his unnaturalness and the little bit of nervousness, he said: "Because you are worth it."

Hao Ai was stunned for a moment, and let go of Zhong Xiu's arm in a panic.

He doesn't have the confidence to accept other people's kindness for granted, and when he receives other people's kindness, he should return the same kindness to others.But right now, he doesn't seem to be able to repay anything.

In a trance, Hao Ai felt a hand slowly holding his hand. Those hands were dry and warm, and they were easy to rely on.

He heard Zhong Xiu speak again: "There is no need to be burdened, you are worthy of all the good."
