quail

Li Bai's words immediately fell into his mouth.

He was still planning to say a few nice words to pretend to be pitiful, and coupled with the feat of shouting when he saw injustice, he could get three melons and two dates from this big brother in Beijing who has spare money to date, and give some thank you fees Well, ten yuan is enough for him to rent for three days, or at least treat him to a hot meal.But now he can't speak at all.

I don't know how much intuition accounted for, anyway, he can basically confirm who this person is.

"Is your surname Yang?" He began to fold up the rejected big padded jacket and stuff it into a plastic bag.

The man looked less casually, and stood up directly, and suddenly leaned in front of Li Bai, with the cold blood on his body, almost touching the tip of his nose, "You know me?"

"I..." Li Bai backed away with blinking eyelashes, "If you were Yang Jian."

"I am." The man said, but his eyes turned to the noodle shop, as if he was thinking about something, his eyes narrowed slenderly.

"Aren't you going to ask who I am?" Li Bai raised his voice.

"Oh, who are you?" Yang Jian said, walking straight towards the noodle shop, limping, but not slow, wiping the nosebleed casually to prevent it from flowing into his mouth.He asked too perfunctorily, as if he lacked curiosity about this matter, which made Li Bai angry and confused at the same time, and ignored the suspenseful self-introduction he had planned in advance, and hurriedly chased him and shouted: "I It's Li Bai!"

Yang Jian looked at Xuedi Zhile: "I'm Du Fu."

ah?Du Fu?

Li Bai remembered, Li Du, Li Du, he had memorized a few poems by these two in night school.

So Yang Jian thought he was joking?

Li Bai's nails scratched the plastic bag in the palm of his hand, he swallowed, and suddenly realized that after ten years, Yang Jian might not remember himself at all.

Even if he has an easy to remember name.

"I'm from my hometown," he tried to grab Yang Jian's sleeve, "You used to have a younger brother who was adopted by your family after everyone died in a fire. You were the one who rescued him when he fell into the river when he was young You nearly drowned with me, remember?" He tried to say something impressive.

Yang Jian listened very seriously this time, and frowned. After a few seconds, when he was about to walk to the door of the noodle shop, he suddenly turned his head and stared straight at the boy beside him who was much shorter than a head.

"Xiaobai?" he said.

"It's grown so big!" he said again.

"Yes, it's me." Li Bai's face was turned orange by the warm light in the store, and his eyes were shining brightly, "I heard that you were admitted to Peking University...you went to high school in Beijing No. 2000 Middle School, that's a new concept. Composition contest, in 8, you won the prize, and it was published in the newspapers! Later, I saw on your school’s BBS forum that you were No.[-] in the science college entrance examination of your grade. You went to Peking University and are studying physics. It may also be Same name, but I think it's you!"

Yang Jian was slightly surprised, and said: "So you came here?"

Li Bai choked for a moment, and then, without waiting for him to reply, Yang Jian pushed open the shop door, met the eyes of several diners openly, told the owner who was cleaning the table that he had to wash his face, and finished speaking Really, he opened the curtain of the back kitchen and got in, leaving Li Bai alone in the warm air of the air conditioner.

"A classmate?" The boss was very kind, with a southern accent, and smiled at Li Bai.

"Ah... that..." Li Bai wanted to say no, but failed, he lowered his head, because he really didn't like to meet strangers' eyes.

"A few tall and big people came here just now, and called Xiao Yang away. I told him not to go out, but he refused to listen, and he refused to let me call the police." The boss sighed, "Let's get off work early today, and you help him back to the dormitory." have a good rest."

Li Bai quickly thanked him.

The more he stood, the more uncomfortable he became, and he was secretly glad that he had a well-groomed student haircut, and he was wearing his latest white shirt, which was tucked into black trousers. Put it on.In fact, he wasn't very cold. He decided to enter the campus that day. He made preparations before going out. He stuffed two layers of thermal underwear into his loose shirt, and took off his cotton-padded jacket to hide it as soon as he approached the school gate.The main reason is that he doesn't want to look like a social gangster or an old farmer, creating rumors for Yang Jian such as "knowing friends with unknown backgrounds". There are still vast differences.

The reason may be that he is indeed a social gangster.

Carrying a big black plastic bag is also stupid in itself.

However, Li Bai felt that there was nothing to be ashamed of. At least, he should have earned more from cutting hair than Yang Jian did. With the money he saved in the past few years, if he hadn’t insisted on coming to Beijing, he could have bought himself a scooter. up.

Thinking wildly like this, I saw Yang Jian get out from the door curtain, facing the peeping diners with a polite smile.The blood stains on the face and neck were all cleaned up, and there were scattered drops of water, and the bangs and eyebrows became darker due to the wetness. Li Bai finally saw clearly that it was indeed a face with clear eyebrows, even if it was swollen.When he is not smiling, his facial features are as vivid as they are painted on. When he smiles a little, he has canine teeth and two dimples. It is indeed very capital and suspicious to break the heart of a little girl.

At this time, the skin was frozen red by the ice water, there were not many eye-catching wounds, and the thickest one was the bruise on the brow bone.

He also thanked the boss, hung the apron on the back of the door, put on his overalls jacket, and stepped out of the threshold, he still pressed the edge of the door, it looked like he was supporting Li Bai, waiting for him to come out.

"Are you sure you don't need to go to the hospital?" Li Bai was still skeptical.

"Small things, people who know how to fight also know how to get beaten." Yang Jian closed the door tightly with a bang, picked up his pockets and walked into the snow, "I'm just hurting, and I don't have any injuries that need to be treated."

"So you are very good at fighting?" Li Bai imitated his appearance and put it in his pocket, smiling.

"You're on winter vacation and you're here to travel?" Yang Jian didn't brag, but asked instead, "Do you live nearby?"

"I live in Shijingshan, the rent is cheap."

Yang Jian looked at his watch and said, "Then you have to hurry up, it's almost nine o'clock, and the last bus over there is almost ten o'clock."

"It's still at 10:30. I sit every day these days." Li Bai suddenly became angry, "I'm not here to travel either. How can anyone rent a room while traveling? Don't they all live in guest houses!"

Yang Jian nodded, seeming to think it made sense.Then he didn't speak again, and the little resentment in Li Bai's heart was quickly extinguished in the cold air pouring into his mouth.

"How old are you this year?" Yang Jian asked suddenly as he walked out of the dark alley silently.

"Sixteen." Li Bai dodged a passing motorcycle on the sidewalk.

"What about the ID card?"

"You want to check my account?"

Yang Jian went around to the other side of Li Bai, separating him from the street. There were not many pedestrians at the moment, and there were more scooters than cars. The new technology park was surrounded by either scenic spots or colleges. The night was still lonely and the most brilliant. It is the street lamp and the light sign of the building.He spread his palms and shook his wrists, meaning to move quickly.

Li Bai glared at him, handed over the black plastic bag that he was about to crush, asked someone to carry it, and rummaged through his khaki satchel, "If I didn't bring it with me, would you still think I'm a liar?" ?" He took back his bag and slapped the ID into Yang Jian's hands.

"Isn't this only fifteen? It's only sixteen in November." Yang Jian looked at the ID photo, "I looked like a potato when I was young, but now I really don't dare to recognize it when I grow up like this. Are you still studying?"

"No, I stayed in Nanjing a few years ago and worked as an apprentice in a barber shop. I became a regular worker last year. But I am not illiterate. There are many night schools in Nanjing. Now I can calculate quadratic functions and read English." Li Bai was unhappy He put the ID card back into his poorly printed Naruto card holder.

Fearing that Yang Jian would misunderstand, he raised his head again and said, "I ran out of the village because I couldn't stand being beaten every day. I didn't have any other intentions to come to Beijing. I didn't know what to do. I just wanted to see you... and Sister Yang Ping!"

"She changed her name, and now she is called Yang Yuqiu. At first she wanted to change her surname, but later she felt that it was unnecessary." Yang Jian's eyes softened a lot, especially when Li Bai mentioned being beaten, the slightly trembling light in his eyes could be called It's understanding, "We're doing pretty well."

"That's good." Li Bai lowered his head again.

For the father who was fled and left behind, both of them kept silent, like a tacit understanding.

"Why don't you wear your coat?" At the school gate, Yang Jian started the conversation again, "Isn't the size of the inside one too big, like the inspection leader, or... I thought you just sang hymns from the church on Suzhou Street Come back."

"...The one on the outside looks like the big sister next door."

"Isn't it enough to be warm?" Yang Jian pointed to his half-swollen face, and walked into the campus frankly. He seemed to be able to understand what Li Bai was thinking, "Others see you, which means you are different."

He didn't know if he recognized him or not, so he smiled at the boy pushing the cart who passed by under the streetlight.

Li Bai threw away the black plastic bag and put his big padded jacket on, the snow melted on it, but the padded jacket was thick enough and had a waterproof layer inside.

So warm.

He followed Yang Jian, it was the end of the semester, the weather was cold, the campus was dark and quiet, passing a playground, a dormitory building, and a small forest, Li Bai couldn't hold back, "Where are you going?" He tugged at Yang Cut the back of the jacket to ask.

"Xue Wu Canteen, I usually have food when I get off work at nine o'clock." Yang Jian let him drag him, and the heat from his breath made the night white. "You are also very hungry, brother treats you to a meal."

"The noodles just now were pretty good." Li Baixin said that he didn't have to walk so far to invite me to dinner.

"I have money in my meal card, but no money in my pocket." Yang Jian yawned again.

At the entrance of the cafeteria, the two met their classmates. They seemed to be very close. They should be in the same class. After supper, the three of them were wearing pajama pants, slippers, and big down jackets, and patted Yang Jian on the shoulder to say hello, without asking him why he was hurt. Yes, just lamenting that tomorrow's solid-state physics will have to save itself all night tonight, Yang Jian told them with a serious face and said to take it easy and don't rush over like the engineering school next door.

Then, Li Bai was taken to the window by Yang Jian. They were all leftovers, but the vegetable box was still hot in the hot water tank, and it smelled delicious.Aunt Dacai said, "It's quite early today", and without hesitation, put a few bottomless dishes on Yang Jian's plate, including soup and water, and a lot of meat. Seeing that Yang Jian brought someone over , The rice is also filled with two big bowls.

"Hey, thank you," Yang Jian swiped down ten yuan on the card reader, and picked up the iron plate, "I really like this duck blood."

"It's a lottery to replenish your blood." The aunt scolded, "I don't know what big things I'm doing all day long."

With two bowls of rice in his arms, Li Bai sat down at a square table under a lamp, following the guy in front of him who smiled and said "it's all right".

"You are very popular." He said sincerely.

But Yang Jian had already started, as if he was very hungry, devouring his food, ignoring the injury on his mouth, and seemed to be in a hurry.Li Bai didn't hold back, he picked up his own bowl and began to eat meat. At first, he was embarrassed to eat meat, but after a few minutes, the fried pork belly with fungus became his favorite.

But at this moment, Yang Jian suddenly put down his rice bowl, put his hands down by his sides, and looked over quietly.

At first Li Bai thought he was looking at him, and he was so self-absorbed that he felt embarrassed, but later he realized that he was being sentimental, the man raised his face slightly, obviously looking behind him.

What are you standing on?who is it?Li Bai turned around holding his breath.

First of all, I saw a dark brown wool skirt, with a light pink knit sweater tied in the waist, and a long windbreaker, the most popular recently, on the outside. The skirt hangs down to the chest, and there is big wavy long hair.

Looking further up, this fashionista is indeed a beautiful woman with exquisite features, but she has a bad complexion, biting her lip, tears streaming down her face, hanging under her exquisite cheeks.

"I don't know about them..." She said hoarsely, "I've already told my brother, don't go to work for a while, and follow me to the hospital."

"No need." Yang Jian didn't move, still looking at her calmly, "I made you so sad, but I understand that your brother is angry, and I didn't fight back."

"Yang Jian!" The girl walked around Li Bai and stood beside Yang Jian in a few steps.

"What do you mean?" she asked again, crying.

"The meaning of breaking up, you mentioned it."

"I was talking nonsense, I was just angry at the time... You said you don't want to get married no matter how old you are, then we can fall in love now, the big deal is to break up when I want to get married... We are not married yet Age, what is there to worry about, don’t you think so?”

"You want to get married right now."

"I don't want to, I don't want to at all now!"

Li Bai watched helplessly as the energy on the girl's body softened little by little, as if she was about to fall beside Yang Jian in a second, crying on his lap.

"There's no need to tell lies, and there's no need to make yourself so humble. I'm not as good as you think if I don't agree with each other." Yang Jian said sincerely without raising his hand to help her, "This is very I can't, it's too tiring for me."

The girl was stunned for a long time, and the few people in the cafeteria were watching, but Yang Jian's gaze was obviously sharper to her. Under this double pressure, she breathed heavily until her face turned purple , suddenly raised his hand, pointed straight at Li Bai, and met Li Bai's wide eyes fiercely, "Okay, you can do it, I understand, you pushed me away in such a hurry, you found a new love, right, it's him, right? Eating leftovers together at night is really a group of people," she walked over and pulled Li Bai's collar directly, frowning and sneering, "What is it, men and women with vicious faces, from the drama club? Wearing this dress requires Are you playing Mrs. Xianglin?"

The back of Li Bai's neck hurt from being strangled, so he simply stood up with that strength, and said to himself, I have already got three metaphors for my outfit today.

But Yang Jian also stood up, walked to the side of the two, slowly opened the girl's fingers, took Li Bai's collar into his hands, put the man back on the chair, put his hands on his shoulders, very gently Squeezed, "Yes, Xinhuan, a 15-year-old child," he smiled innocently, that kind of innocence was too natural, and even seemed a little indifferent, "Hu Qian, do you believe it yourself? You think of yourself tomorrow Don't you regret the nonsense you said?"
