Chapter 5

Jiao Zhe saw a faint smile on his face: "It happens that there is no one else, follow me to the dressing room."

"Is the security guard not here? The security guard should come out in this situation!" Shi Yuan was very dissatisfied.

"Just now a drug addict came to the internal medicine department and wanted to prescribe pethidine. There was a lot of trouble. The security guards must have gone there." Jiao Zhe opened the dressing bag: "Does the wound hurt these days?"

Shi Yuan sat down and rolled his eyes: "Do you often encounter such things? How many security guards are there in the emergency department?"

The wound didn't grow well, and it could be seen that Shi Yuan didn't care about it these days. "When you go to work during the day, you will sweat through, and at night when you take a shower, you will also see through." Shi Yuan's expression was innocent: "When I tried to untie it yesterday, I couldn't untie it."

Jiao Zhe frowned and sighed, the layers of gauze inside had been firmly adhered to the wound, and had been soaked in blood and pus: "Little friend Shi, you will hurt a lot after doing this."

Shi Yuan stared: "Brother Jiao, I don't like you calling me a kid, change it."

Jiao Zhe soaked the gauze with a cotton ball soaked in liquid medicine, and joked, "Why don't you call you a dog? The intern I just brought is eight years younger than me. They say they belong to a dog. You are the same, right? "

Shi Yuan nodded: "It's just a dog, brother Jiao can give me whatever."

The gauze was peeled off layer by layer, exposing the hideous wound. This process without any technical content for the surgeon made Jiao Zhe want to run away now: too close, the children stared at his face, His sight was scorching hot.

Unable to hold back the restlessness in his heart, Shi Yuan suddenly approached his ear and blew lightly. Not surprisingly, he watched a blush spread rapidly on Jiao Zhe's face, not even avoiding the tips of his ears, and the atmosphere was instantly sweet And weird.

Jiao Zhe couldn't wipe his sweat with gloves on, so he could only let the embarrassing beads of sweat spread all over his forehead and nose in an instant: "Why don't you take this kid lightly? You shouldn't have closed the door when you came in just now, and the chair shouldn't be so close to the medicine changing bed." .

In the corridor, a nurse pushed a small cart and grunted past. A delivery guy ran and shouted: "Dr. Xue's fried noodles!" A crying male voice: "Guys, can you lend me [-] for an emergency?" , a little further away, chattering with excitement and choking: "Is it saved? Really saved!"...

Separated from those noises and sorrows and joys, a frightened deer broke into Jiao Zhe's heart.

Forced himself to only stare at the wound, after all the treatments were done, Jiao Zhe was confident that his expression would remain normal: "Shi Yuan, I changed your dressing and let you stay overnight when your leg was injured and your stomach hurt. ..."

"I know," Shi Yuan said quickly, "I'm sorry, Brother Jiao, I ran too fast. I said I'd walk towards you, but occasionally I lose track of my stride and take too long." He smiled: "I'll run away next time Will pay attention."

Instead, Jiao Zhe didn't know how to pick it up, and he was stunned for a while before he said: "Then you go back and rest, these days when you take a shower, use plastic wrap to wrap all the places with gauze."

Seeing him go out the gate, Jiao Zhe went straight into the locker room: "What the hell, this kid is so good at flirting!"

Shi Yuan strolled slowly along the street and walked home, he couldn't help laughing when he thought of his brother's eyes full of peach blossoms and flushed face just now, he seemed to have gone a little too far just now, so his brother's ears are very sensitive?

The phone rang, and when he saw the name on the screen, Shi Yuan opened it happily: "Mother-in-law!" The mother-in-law did not answer the calls several times recently, either his son or his grandson, and her attitude was not very friendly. Shi Yuan originally planned to go directly to his mother-in-law's house if he couldn't speak anymore.

"Xiaoyuan..." Hearing her mother-in-law's voice, she felt like returning to her childhood. "Mother-in-law misses you very much, how are you..., mother-in-law..., misses Xiaoyuan very much..."

Shi Yuan frowned: "Grandma, what's wrong with you? Did something happen?"

"No, mother-in-law is fine... When will you be free? Mother-in-law wants to..." Before he could finish speaking, the phone was cut off.Shi Yuan stopped in his tracks and immediately called back. He waited for two times in a row until the prompt "No answer, call later" came out, but no one answered.

As long as she can remember, Granny Chen has been helping at home. Both her parents are engineering workers, and they often show up only once in a few months.Going to and from school, being hungry and sick, entering the team wearing a red scarf, running first in the sports meeting for the first time, and even parent-teacher meetings at least eight out of ten times, it was Granny Chen who appeared for the first time.A considerable part of the pictures labeled "warm", "happy" and "down-to-earth" throughout childhood are related to Granny Chen.

When he was 13 years old, both his parents died in a car accident. Before he recovered from the blow, he was surrounded by a large number of relatives who couldn't even name him.Everyone gathered together in twos and threes to murmur after holding him and crying for the first time. He heard the words "compensation" and "pension" from a few words, and understood the disdain when they looked at Granny Chen. , alert and cold eyes, at that moment, Shi Yuan grew up.

He stuffed the travel bag that Granny Chen had packed into the deepest place under the bed, and while wiping away the tears on her face with his little hands, he said very softly: "Grandma, don't go, I know what to do, what do they say? Don't bother, just wait."

On the morning of the fourth day, several waves of relatives who had already disliked each other finally fought in the corridor. One of them, who was in her 40s and whom Shi Yuan called her "Aunt Six", was dragged by the hair by another uncle to the side of the stairs. On the way, no one noticed that Shi Yuan pretended to be scared and jumped aside, and inadvertently pushed his knee against Aunt Six's leg. The muffled sound of his body bumping up and down the stairs, accompanied by unbearable curses and pig-killing howls , successfully rang all the voice-activated lights in the corridor in broad daylight.

Soon, the neighborhood committee, the street, the police station in the jurisdiction, and finally the judges of the juvenile court came forward collectively to gather all relevant people.

Shi Yuan sat on the stool in a regular manner, looked at the eleven relatives in front of him timidly and asked three questions: "When is my birthday? I am allergic to what I eat, and I can't breathe right away? The last time you came to visit What time am I?" He also specially reminded: "The police uncle and the judge uncle are here, and they will check all the tickets."

The relatives were stunned, looked at each other in embarrassment, and fell silent for a while.

Shi Yuan took out another stack of papers—thanks to his parents for creating a good family atmosphere, and never concealed from him where important things are kept.The color of the paper is different, and the size is different. There are letter paper, homework paper, and envelopes that have been opened and written in reverse. Buying a motorcycle is definitely not a small sum when added together.

After handing it over to the judge, he bowed deeply: "I don't need them to pay back the money, but please let me continue to live with Granny Chen, what I can eat and what I can't eat, birthday noodles and Birthday cake, and every time I get sick and hospitalized, my parents are not at home, and I always stay with Granny Chen." After speaking, crystal clear tears fell down, and she made a gesture to kneel.

Aunt Liu of the Neighborhood Committee hugged him: "My poor child! Oh, why is life so hard! It's only a little old that these things are going to happen!..." Shi Yuan also hugged her, with a high voice Weeping eight degrees.

Shi Yuan won the first tough battle in his life with his rapidly growing immature shoulders: all compensation is deposited into a bank account under the collective supervision of a designated person, and only a small part can be withdrawn every month as basic living expenses until the age of 18. At the age of [-], Chen's mother-in-law stayed behind to take care of Shi Yuan, and all relatives had no right to embezzle a penny of the compensation.

As for not having any relatives come to the door from now on, Shi Yuan didn't care: "All the good things I do, I leave it to those who deserve it."

At the age of 18, when he went to the police station in other places, Granny Chen was already 64 years old. She patted Shi Yuan's head again and again reluctantly: "Grandma is going home, and my two sons have given birth to a second child. I have to go back and give birth to him." They take care of their children," she wiped her tears: "Xiaoyuan, you have to take good care of yourself when your mother-in-law is gone. Mom and Dad are blessing you in heaven. So is mother-in-law. We hope that Xiaoyuan will go well wherever we go. It's safe and sound."

Holding back tears, Shi Yuan sold the old house that he had lived in for many years. Fortunately, his parents gritted their teeth and bought this house, and the price has doubled in a few years.He took out 30 yuan and handed it to Granny Chen: "Don't tell anyone about this card. You keep it safe. The password is my birthday. I will never change my mobile number. If you need anything, call me immediately."

Every once in a while, no matter how busy he is, he will call his mother-in-law to chat, but recently, the situation has become more and more wrong.Shi Yuan put down the phone without any hesitation, and directly booked the first high-speed rail ticket for the next day.

Jiao Zhe was staring at his phone in the locker room in a daze. It had been more than a week since there was no news from the kid, and the circle of friends hadn't been updated. Yes, what kind of longevity can a 21-year-old kid have?He laughed at himself with a mockery: "Thinking about a bunch of things that are useful or not, the result is nothing. At least there is a slight sound when you puncture colorful soap bubbles, and a person leaving you can be as silent as a mud cow entering the sea." sound.

"Dr. Jiao is looking for someone!" Someone knocked on the door.

"Okay." Picking up the stethoscope, cheered up, and strode out: this is just one of several small episodes in life.

"Small episode" was standing at the door of the emergency room at this time, wearing black and white clothes, a Band-Aid was pasted on the cheekbone on the left cheek, and he lost a lot of weight, but he was in good spirits.

"Brother Jiao!" Shi Yuan came over, "I'm sorry that my phone has long been out of battery, is it convenient for you now? Maybe I need to trouble you."

Jiao Zhe was stunned.

Holding a large pile of test sheets in his hand, Jiao Zhe's face darkened: "I have serious diabetes, high blood pressure and high blood lipids. The most troublesome thing now is the bed sore on the right buttock and the injury on the back and thigh. Surgery is needed, but the old man is severely malnourished now, and his physical condition will definitely not be able to bear the surgery, and he will have to wait a while before doing it.” He looked at Shi Yuan: “It’s a bit late to send to the hospital, if it’s earlier, the bed sores and wound infections won’t It's so serious; but fortunately it was delivered, and it would be life-threatening if it was too late."

Shi Yuan clenched his fists: "The hospital can issue these certificates, right? I want to get them immediately."

Jiao Zhe nodded: "No problem, just do it now."

Shi Yuan met his suspicious eyes: "Brother, I'll tell you more when I have time, first go downstairs to get your phone, it should be full, I have to go out right away, Granny Chen will trouble you before I come back. "

☆、Chapter 6

He didn't meet Shi Yuan for a few days, Jiao Zhe spared some time every morning and afternoon to visit Granny Chen on the 8th floor, but pieced things together.

It was night shift again tonight, and the last batch of patients were sent away after two o'clock, so it should have calmed down.

Walking into Granny Chen's ward, Shi Yuan was falling asleep on the side of the bed with his head tilted.Jiao Zhe stood silently for a while, then quietly exited the room.

"Brother Jiao!" Shi Yuan rubbed his eyes and followed, "Aren't you on the night shift?"

"I'll come up and take a look when there are no patients. When did you come back?"

"It's after 9 o'clock." Shi Yuan smiled, showing two small canine teeth: "I'll go to the emergency room first to find you, and I'll come straight up when I see that you are too busy."

There is a row of rest chairs in the corridor, Shi Yuan went to the vending machine next to him and brought back two bottles of orange juice.

"This time, I am very grateful to Brother Jiao. My mother-in-law said, 'That handsome little doctor comes several times a day, and everyone around is so envious!'"

"What little doctor!" Jiao Zhe laughed dumbly: "I'm almost thirty! My mother-in-law's eyesight is not good because of her age."

"I see Brother Jiao is also very young." Shi Yuan raised his neck and took a big sip, his Adam's apple slipped fatally: "Grandma told you to come home after being discharged from the hospital, and she made sauerkraut and mutton dumplings for you to eat."

"Okay," Jiao Zhe nodded, "May I ask how you dealt with it later?"

The can was squeezed into a distorted shape by Shi Yuan, and the voice was particularly ear-piercing in the silent corridor: "When I entered the door, I saw that my mother-in-law had only a single coat and a thin quilt on such a cold day, and there was a pair of clothes on the table next to her." I immediately took out my mobile phone to take a picture of the old-fashioned sweet and greasy cake and a lot of sugar in the bag; after I sent my mother-in-law to the hospital, I went back to look for neighbors door-to-door, wearing glasses with pinhole cameras; the hospital I also took pictures of the medical condition statement and injury certificate issued, and sent all three to her son; in the end, I withdrew 10 yuan, which was regarded as a buyout. If I still dare to show up, I will see you directly in court. Go back and wear the police uniform."

"So those two sons were responsible for the injuries on your face when you came back last time?" Jiao Zhe raised his eyebrows.

"Well, they don't let me in. When I broke in and took pictures, they started to do it, and even broke my mobile phone charger." Shi Yuan pursed his lips and smiled, relaxed and excited: "That's so worth it Brother Jiao! I was very reluctant when my mother-in-law left, she is my dearest person!" Turning to stare at him seriously: "I think Brother Jiao will be the same in the future!"

Shi Yuan runs to the hospital every day after work - the two people he misses are all there.

Every time the large and small rolls are brought to the mother-in-law's bedside, the mother-in-law always complains exaggeratedly, "Why do you bring so many delicious food? The old man has a bad appetite and can't eat it", while talking with the people around him. He praised him enthusiastically: "My eldest grandson! He is a policeman, but he is amazing!... There is no match, you have a suitable one? Why don't you find a chance for them to meet young people... How old is it? Oh, my eldest grandson is only 21 , it doesn't matter, isn't the third year female junior holding gold bricks!...It's not good! Everyone is busy working all day..., huh? That's not it, that Dr. Jiao is my grandson's friend, isn't he? Hurry up and catch up with my grandson Grandson!..."

Changing the order of reading it every day, Shi Yuan could only lower his head and run out with a washbasin towel: "Mother-in-law, eat slowly, I'll get some water for you to wash."

Turning a corner and queuing up for hot water, I heard two cuties chatting together at the nurse's station:

"Doctor Jiao is here again this afternoon, did you see that?"

"No! I'm doing an admission check for bed 21, what a pity!"

"He's so handsome, why is he still single when he's so handsome?"

"Maybe you have too high a vision, that guy on the sixth floor last time," one of them said in a low voice, "I went to the emergency room every three days to look for him, but Dr. Jiao didn't even give him a straight look."

"It doesn't look like such an arrogant person. Every time I see us, I am very polite. Last time I took his blood for the physical examination in our hospital, the first injection didn't go in. He still smiled and told me not to be nervous!"

"Hahahaha, you're only looking at other people's faces, so you're getting sidetracked!"

"Oh, you're talking nonsense!"

……

Shi Yuan scratched his head with many thoughts, in this hospital, there should not be too many competitors who have the right time and place!

As soon as Jiao Zhe changed his clothes and left the locker room, Shi Jin ran over like a gust of wind, his face flushed, "Brother dei! You're famous!" Pushing him, he ran towards the nurse's station.

A large bunch of pure white roses with light pink gypsophila stars interspersed, crystal clear dewdrops on the petals, and the elegant fragrance of flowers hits the nostrils before approaching.No card, no message, no signature, the flower delivery boy: "I am only in charge of delivering and I don't know what to send. Don't ask my elder brother, sign quickly and rush to send to the next family."

Jiao Zhe: "..."

Several nurses took pictures on twitter: "Doctor Jiao, there are 99 flowers!", "The flower language is 'pure love', ah, so romantic!", "That is the flower language of white roses, and the flower language of light pink baby's breath is , let me see..., the indispensable love that is willing to be a supporting role, oh my god, this is a crush on our Dr. Jiao!" "Crush? It should be from our hospital, right?"

The director came over in a hurry: "Ah Choo!" He rubbed his nose vigorously: "Look at it for a while and put it aside, it's too big for a handful!" Then he looked at Jiao Zhe: "You're pretty good! Don’t men give gifts to women!”

Jiao Zhe: "..., that director, I'm going to work!" He fled in despair.

After going out, he sent Shi Yuan a WeChat message: "You?"

Seconds back: "Brother is too dazzling, I have to clear the way. Don't worry, brother, I made a phone call and transferred the money directly to the other party's Alipay without leaving a name. No one can find out, so I won't embarrass my brother."

The second day, the third day, until a week. "Doctor Jiao's 99 White Roses" became a scene in the emergency room.

Jiao Zhe was going crazy: "Goofy, can you calm down? How much money do you have to waste like this?"

Shi Yuan had a smile on his lips: "How can this be called waste? Brother, besides, I have already paid half a month's payment, so please bear with me!"

In the video call from Shi Yuan, when Jiao Zhe pressed it, it turned out to be Granny Chen's smiling face: "Doctor Jiao, my mother-in-law is home. Thank you so much for being so busy and coming to see me every day. You must come home this weekend, mother-in-law." Make dumplings for you to eat!"

Jiao Zhe smiled: "Grandma, you just got out of the hospital, the most important thing is to have a good rest, don't worry about dumplings..."

The screen immediately changed to a mischievous Shi Yuan: "You have to listen to what mother-in-law says, otherwise she will be in a bad mood if you don't come after making dumplings, and if you are in a bad mood, your health will be bad. Don't you think so, Doctor Jiao?"

Jiao Zhe scratched his head: "Okay... then I'll take a dressing change kit and go change her mother-in-law's dressing."

Shi Yuan snapped his fingers: "I'll pick you up on Saturday, it's agreed!"

Plates of chubby dumplings came to the table, with an attractive yellowish color in the white. The unique aroma of mutton accompanied by lingering water vapor immediately rushed into Jiao Zhe's nose. It was a flattering meal for a dead stomach.

"Where are you from, Xiaojiao?" The mother-in-law brought him another bowl of dumpling soup: "I see you are fair and thin, are you from the south? Are you used to the dumplings made by your mother-in-law?"

Jiao Zhe killed several of them without stopping before opening his mouth: "Grandma, I am from Chengdu, but I have been in the north for almost ten years, and I like eating dumplings more and more, especially the stuffing made by my grandma is so delicious!"

The mother-in-law burst into laughter: "Then eat more, and the mother-in-law will pack some for you when you leave. I heard from Xiao Yuan that you are often too busy to eat, and your stomach is exhausted. You see See, it’s past eight o’clock and you come home from work, young people don’t dare to spoil their bodies like this, they will get it back when they get older!”

Shi Yuan looked at him with a smile on the side: "You will come here often in the future, the best thing about mother-in-law's handicraft is dumplings," he added slowly: "I—we all welcome Brother Jiao to come anytime."

There are four big plates, two big boys are eating dumplings and drinking soup, and they are all finished in a blink of an eye.Seeing that her mother-in-law was already dozing off, Jiao Zhe quickly got up and changed her medicine. After covering the quilt and leaving the room, he saw that Shi Yuan had finished packing the dishes and was concentrating on peeling apples on the sofa in the living room.

The warm yellow light from the desk lamp coated his silhouette with a gentle layer of gold, his hair was a bit messy, and a few beams of light passed through the hair to reflect fine shadows, Jiao Zhe was so dumbfounded.

"Brother Jiao, come and sit!" Shi Yuan moved aside: "An apple or a pear? I haven't peeled the pear yet." Jiao Zhe took out the apple from his hand: "Grandma is recovering well, Gouzi It's very reliable, let me praise you." After eating the apple in two or three bites, he stroked Shi Yuan's hair and walked towards the door: "I'm back."

Shi Yuan silently stood up and stared at him changing his shoes and clothes, seeing that his hands were on the door lock handle, he suddenly called out: "Brother..."

"Anything else?" Jiao Zhe turned around.

Shi Yuan didn't speak, and after a long while, he lowered his head and laughed: "It's okay, I'm a bit reluctant to leave my brother, but my brother has to go to work tomorrow, so I won't bother you; but," he pointed out the window: "Did brother notice that it's snowing outside?"

"Ah?" Jiao Zhe ran to the window sill in three or two steps. When he came to the north from Chengdu, the snow was the biggest temptation. The banquet, however, vanished in the blink of an eye.So Jiao Zhe has always hated the time when the snow melts, but when it snows, he will definitely run out of the house happily.

"I want to go out to see the snow! I want to have a snowball fight!" Jiao Zhe waved his arms, excited, his eyes sparkling.

"Then I'll go with brother." Shi Yuan took out a thick coat and handed it to him, and carefully put on a scarf.

"No need, it's so cold outside, I have to go out anyway, just have a good time."

Shi Yuan tied a knot on the scarf, then pulled it up to cover half of Jiao Zhe's face, "Let's go!"

There was no one in the community, and a thin layer of snow had already accumulated.

Jiao Zhe ran under the street lamp and lay down on his back with a plop: "Goofy, I really like to watch the snow fall on my face under the lamp. It is so dense and beautiful. It seems that I can enter the fairy tale world in a second."

Shi Yuan also lay down, without speaking, the two of them were shoulder to shoulder and head to head.The night was silent, and the snowflakes swirled and fell on the face, which was so cool and comfortable.

Jiao Zhe narrowed his eyes: "Dog, I've always wanted to buy a big house with a yard, plant a tree that can bloom a lot of flowers, and cats will run up and down in it, and I will lie down and sleep under the shade of the tree, and wait until The tree is full of fruits. I shake the tree and open my mouth to wait for the fruit to fall. I can eat it by rubbing it on my clothes. When it snows in winter, I eat hot pot in the house and run to the yard to watch snowflake."

Shi Yuan turned sideways at some point, propped his head on his left arm, and watched him babbling non-stop with a smile; then he stretched out his hand and held Jiao Zhe's hand tightly: "Then let me accompany my brother to realize it together."

The four eyes meet each other, the street lamp on his head is reflected in Jiao Zhe's eyes, like a small spark, and the slightly protruding eye ends are like the first ray of spring wind gently brushing the delicate branches of willows, Shi Yuan stared at He said, and kissed it devoutly.

Brother, I have stamped for you, I will definitely work very hard, so that day and night after today, day and night, you are mine and I am yours.

Jiao Zhe looked at his soft and cool lips that were slowly approaching, his whole body was stiff but he still closed his eyes gently.

☆、Chapter 7

Someone knocked on the door, the loudness and frequency were very rude, Shi Yuan was a little confused and angry: "Who is it?"

No one spoke, but there were constant knocks on the door.The mother-in-law approached him nervously: "Xiao Yuan, is it...?" Shi Yuan put his arms around her shoulders: "It's okay, mother-in-law, just go in and don't worry about it."

Opening the door, a very strange old man stepped in: "Xiao Yuan, I am your Fourth Master!"

"Fourth Master?" Shi Yuan was stunned for a while and his eyes suddenly paused: the middle-aged man who pushed the so-called sixth aunt down the stairs many years ago suddenly overlapped with the face in front of him.

The old man sat down on the sofa carelessly: "I've been looking for you for so long, and finally let me wait for my eldest nephew!" He picked his nose and rubbed it on the sofa pillow: "Life is good, selling the house is a profit. A lot of money?"

Shi Yuan looked at him coldly: "Fuck your shit! Get out of here!"

The old man leaned back and spread his limbs comfortably on the sofa: "Why are you so angry at such a young age? I am also your elder after all, can I speak human words? Just break the bones and connect the tendons!"

The mother-in-law poked her head out: "Xiao Yuan, what's the matter?"

The old man glanced sideways, and spat a mouthful of thick phlegm on the ground with a "bah": "Oh, I didn't mean you, Xiao Yuan, you care about a dead old woman who is not related to you until now, what about me, the real fourth master?" Can't get into your eyes like that?"

Shi Yuan sneered: "My dad and you have sold five clothes, what the hell are you still pretending to be with me! Get lost!" He walked over and picked up the old man's collar and pulled it towards the door, and the old man clasped his hands tightly Holding the table, legs stretched under the sofa to pin the base, his face was flushed red: "I'm so cruel to you, you little bastard, do you think I didn't see you hit Hongjuan's leg on purpose back then? Cough, cough..., I'm sorry for your mother! I was nothing when I was young, and I won't leave today! I'm going to die here! Cough, cough...!"

With a dark face, Shi Yuan continued to pull hard with his hands, and his mother-in-law ran over in a panic and hugged his arm: "Xiao Yuan, please be gentle, don't let him suffocate you to death!"

The old man's eyes became more and more blurry, and the air in his lungs became thinner and thinner. He kicked his hands and feet wildly: This kid was not easy to deal with back then, don't really put yourself in it, my son is still waiting for the gift money!He grabbed the front of his clothes and tried his best to create a gap in his neck: "50! Give me 50 and I'll leave! Cough cough...! This money is nothing to you! Cough cough...! "

Shi Yuan snorted coldly, his face was so gloomy that water dripped out, he grabbed the old man fiercely and threw him to the ground: "Why do you? You deserve to worry about my parents' money?!"

The moment the old man got used to it, his fluttering left hand grabbed hold of driftwood like a drowning man and held Granny Chen tightly, only to hear a muffled sound with wind, and Granny's head hit the ground heavily.

Shijin showed off at Jiao Zhe with his skateboard in his arms: "This is my custom-made treasure. Look here, AAA-grade 7-ply Canadian maple! Here, OS780 mesh diamond waterproof sand! And here, you can touch it, ouch, just touch it. Come on! Have you washed it by hand, MARKTOPABEC-11Pro chrome steel bearings! Oh, I tell you that you don’t understand, anyway, it’s really awesome!”

Jiao Zhe curled his lips: "What a prodigal! Don't tell me you don't have enough meal cards, you deserve to starve to death!"

"There's a competition next week. Lao Wang said that I've improved very fast recently. If I get the ranking this time, the equipment shouldn't be too shabby, right?"

"Switched the teacher? Did your master Xiaoshi dislike you?" Jiao Zhe said with a smirk: "Oh, he must be busy with some recent forum, so he has no time to take care of you, so you can make it up." A few days ago, a high-level national conference was being held in this city, with overwhelming advertisements and more traffic policemen on the streets.

Shi Jin shook his head: "He hasn't come to practice twice," he hesitated: "I heard from people in the skateboard team that something happened to an old man at home..."

Jiao Zhe was stunned.

No one answered the phone all the time, Jiao Zhe ran directly to Shi Yuan's house after work, but no one answered no matter how hard he knocked on the door.

More than an hour later, Shi Yuan's figure wobbled under the street lamp. "Shi Yuan?" Jiao Zhe went up to meet him. Is it because the branches blocked the street lights and the light was not enough?His face was pale as if stained with tears, and his body was still crumbling after being grabbed by his arms.

"Brother...?" Shi Yuan seemed to work hard to recognize the person in front of him.

"It's me, why are you so cold? What's going on?" Jiao Zhe supported him: "Let's go upstairs first and talk slowly."

The house was lifeless and dusty everywhere. When Jiao Zhe entered the door, he saw a photo of Granny Chen kindly smiling on the desk, with a black frame and a black gauze.

He staggered a few steps in horror, until he felt that Shi Yuan in his arms was about to fall, Jiao Zhe held back the shocking waves in his heart and helped Shi Yuan into the sofa and lay down halfway.

To calm down, go to the kitchen and boil some water to make a cup of warm water: "Xiao Yuan? How about some water?"

Shi Yuan closed his eyes and let out a low "hmm".Jiao Zhe brought the rim of the glass to his lips, watching him drink the whole glass of water bit by bit.

Covering him with a blanket from the bedroom, Jiao Zhe stroked his hair: "I'm going to cook some porridge, and you can drink some before going to bed?" Just as he was about to stand up, Shi Yuan grabbed his sleeve tightly: "Brother... ..." Turning over and plunged into Jiao Zhe's arms, within a few minutes, Jiao Zhe's chest was completely wet.

That night was extremely long, Jiao Zhe held Shi Yuan in his arms and went through the dark night that seemed to be able to engulf everything. He was lonely and seemed to embrace the whole world.

At four o'clock in the morning, Jiao Zhe was awakened by the scorching heat in his arms. Shi Yuan's hands and feet were cold, but his body and head were extremely hot. …,don't want……"

He hurriedly turned over and looked around. There was nothing in the medicine box except some wound medicine and bandages he stuffed in last time. He could only use a towel to wipe it over and over again to try to cool down physically. Slowly lowered, and no longer talking nonsense, but his brows were still wrinkled, and his arms were wrapped around his chest as if he was desperately grabbing something.

Putting the boiled white porridge into the thermos bucket, and tucking the quilt tightly from head to toe, Jiao Zhe quietly went out the door.

When he came back in the evening, Shi Yuan had already woken up, his eyes were red but his spirit was obviously better, he stepped on the sofa with his bare feet flipping through his photo albums, and there were six or seven empty beer cans on the coffee table in front of him.

"Brother, look at this picture. At that time, I was only in the sixth grade. I went to climb Mount Tai with my parents and their two friends. My mother-in-law said that her legs and feet were bad and she didn't want to go, but I kept making troubles, and my parents also persuaded her. She was not tired, so she smiled and followed us. When we went up the mountain, I hired a sedan chair for my mother-in-law. My mother-in-law was very flustered and embarrassed. You crushed it...', so funny." Shi Yuan wiped his eyes, and said softly after a long while: "This is the last time we all took a group photo together..."

"This one, brother, look, I won No.400 in the 1m in the sports meeting in the first grade of junior high school. When I was not at home, it was my mother-in-law who came to the scene to refuel me. When I came home at night and passed the convenience store, my mother-in-law bought me two ice creams at once! One strawberry and one chocolate. Mom and Dad."

"And this, it seems to be a physical education class in the second grade. Look at how thin and short I was at that time. Once I broke my foot playing football. Mom and Dad only came back for a week and had to go out again. After more than half a month, my mother-in-law Carrying me up and down the stairs, I was still calling on her mother-in-law to cheer up! It's really stupid..."

……

Jiao Zhe listened and watched, and nodded with a concentrated expression: You can just say it, dog, don't hold yourself in your heart, I'm not by your side or my mother-in-law when such a big thing happens, I can only use this method with you.

Shi Yuan continued to chatter happily, except that Jiao Zhe gently and resolutely blocked his hand holding the beer, he dutifully acted as a good listener at other times; after more than half an hour, Shi Yuan's voice gradually weakened, his eyes He also started to get confused, he let out a long sigh, fell asleep holding Jiao Zhe's arm as if he was relieved.

Opening his eyes, the room was pitch black, Shi Yuan turned over and sat up in a panic, immediately a pair of warm hands stretched out to stroke his hair: "I am here."

Grasping those hands tightly, Shi Yuan's heart slowly fell back into his stomach, like a lost child finally finding his home: "Brother..."

"Are you hungry? I see that you didn't take a bite of the porridge you cooked yesterday. Do you not like it? Want to eat something else?" Jiao Zhe asked.

"I'm here to cook instant noodles, and there are still two barrels." Shi Yuan stood up: "Brother will accompany me for a drink after eating."

"Still drinking?" He couldn't see his face clearly, but he could hear Jiao Zhe frowning.

"One more can, I definitely won't drink too much," Shi Yuan dragged him to the kitchen: "What you say is what you say."

Jiao Zhe both loves and hates instant noodles. How many night shifts in the turmoil rely on it to fill their stomachs, but they are often very hungry and feel no appetite at the mention of this word. Just grab a portion of the beer in his stomach.

A barrel of rattan pepper beef, a barrel of tonkotsu ramen, Jiao Zhe took rattan pepper, Shi Yuan smiled: "Grandma also said that rattan pepper is delicious, but I've been practicing for so many years, and I'm still not good at spicy."

Jiao Zhe slowly stirred the noodles with a fork: "Gouzi, your parents must have a good relationship and love you very much."

"Oh?" Shi Yuan has already started to eat: "Why do you guess like that? Look at those photos just now? Aren't the family photos all grinning and friendly?"

"No," Jiao Zhe shook his head, and cast his gaze into the distance: "My parents are high school teachers, both of whom are top teachers. They not only compete at work but also at home. I am more than the other party, and I am often at a loss when they are at a loss. I was still in their school for three years in high school. You don’t know how miserable I am.
