Jinling love story

While looking at Xia Ranjiang's face.Seeing that Xia Ranjiang was obviously moved by him, he pointed to the piece of paper in Xia Ranjiang's hand, opened his mouth and began to recite it.

"Last paragraph on this page."

Tong Zhe cleared his throat, stood up and paced around the room with his hands behind his back.

Xia Ranjiang compared the words in his hand while listening.Even his own memory of these passages is rather vague, but Tong Zhe actually recited them all verbatim.

"Go on." Tong Zhe took a piece of paper from the table, "The end of this chapter. I think it's good."

Again verbatim.

Xia Ranjiang was completely shocked, and a warmth melted in his heart.

"You fool. Brother, I know these two paragraphs."

Tong Zhe glanced at Xia Ranjiang's almost stiff face, and secretly smiled.

"Is there any more? I wrote a paragraph for a week."

Unexpectedly, Xia Ranjiang suddenly became excited, flipping through the paper in his hand.

"..."

Tong Zhe was at a loss when the phone rang again.Although the ringtone reminded that the visitor was not friendly, Tong Zhe took a stride over and picked up the phone as if seeing a life-saving straw.

"Hello, third aunt."

"You what? At noon..." Tong Zhe glanced at Xia Ranjiang who was still sitting crookedly in front of the desk from a distance, and lowered his voice. "Are you sure you're coming in 30 minutes?...I'm eating well..."

It turned out that before Tong Zhe's mother left, she had instructed Tong Sirui to take care of Tong Zhe for meals these days.It's just that last night Tong Sirui went to play on his own and completely forgot about it, only this morning did he remember that his nephew was still hungry.

The third aunt on the other end of the phone was a little apologetic at first, but she became more and more suspicious when she heard Tong Zhe's incoherent refusal. Before Tong Zhe could finish speaking, she said "I'll arrive in 30 minutes" and hung up the phone.

"I'll leave first if I have something to do today." Xia Ranjiang stood up and said. "I'm going back to school to finish the rest of the materials."

Tong Zhezheng didn't know how to explain to Xia Ranjiang.Just as he was about to blurt out the phrase "Stay with me" reflexively, he gritted his teeth and nodded acquiescingly.For a moment, Tong Zhe felt a little regretful and sad in his heart as if he had done something wrong.

Xia Ranjiang packed up and went out with Tong Zhe.

"I'll go to school to find you again when I'm on vacation in a few days."

Tong Zhe leaned against the pillar of the bus platform and patted Xia Ranjiang on the shoulder.

"Okay, we can go play together when I'm free." Xia Ranjiang said, stepped back a few steps, stepped on the front steps of the bus, and waved to Tong Zhe.

Tong Zhe kept staring at Xia Ranjiang, even though there was a layer of blurred car windows.Xia Ranjiang sat down by the car window, but did not respond to Tong Zhe's gaze as Tong Zhe expected.

The bus drove away.Tong Zhe felt as if his heart had been hollowed out, and he stood for a long time before recovering and heading home.

Back home, Tong Zhe slammed the door shut, kicked off his shoes, fell on the sofa, and fell asleep in a daze.After a while, he was awakened by a rapid doorbell.Tong Zhe sighed, and a carp jumped up.No need to think about who is coming.

"come in."

Tong Zhe opened the door, turned around and returned to the sofa, spread his hands, and rested his forks on the coffee table.

"The atmosphere is not right."

Tong Sirui was wearing a big bag and a small bag, and was carrying two plastic bags in his hand, trying to keep his balance.

"Humph."

Tong Zhe gave Tong Sirui a white look.

"Hey, it's just a meal. You don't even say hello when you're so hungry."

Tong Sirui hurriedly unloaded all his equipment, walked over and pinched Tong Zhe's face.

"Oh, what's the smell of your dirty hands?" Tong Zhe quickly avoided.

"Your mother is afraid that you will be hungry, so she asked your aunt and me to be a breeder for a few days." Tong Sirui said, smelling the smell on his hands, and quickly took out a tissue to wipe it. "Let me tell you, today you are lucky."

"You can also cook?"

Tong Zhe looked at Tong Sirui with some contempt - this was the first time Tong Zhe looked at her directly since Tong Sirui entered the door.

"What do you mean 'also' know how to cook?" Tong Sirui was a little dissatisfied, "Today I'll show you my aunt's cooking skills."

"Then I'd better charge the phone first."

"what?"

"You can call 120 later when the poison occurs."

"..."

Tong Sirui patted Tong Zhe on the head bitterly.Knowing that it was his fault, and that he would be sullen if he was hungry, he turned around and walked into the kitchen silently.

Tong Zhe got up and made a pot of green tea, poured two cups and put them on the tea table, picked up a cup and sipped while playing games.

"I said, what will you do in the future, you are so lazy."

In the kitchen, Tong Sirui was preparing the seasoning, when he saw Tong Zhe shaking his legs leisurely, he yelled from a distance.

"In the future, you have to find a wife who can cook, or you will starve to death. A few days ago, I did a survey in the class, and only five of the twenty girls can cook. Alas... they all look like you So pampered."

Hearing this, Tong Zhe felt secretly refreshed, the corners of his mouth slowly raised, and the depressed mood just now disappeared.

"Never-ending nagging all day long, she became a housewife before she got married."

Tong Zhe responded calmly, took a big sip of tea, and poured another cup.He turned over and got off the sofa, took another cup to the kitchen and handed it to Tong Sirui.

"When you find a girlfriend in the future, you must first see if you can cook. Really, cooking is the most important skill. As the saying goes, if you want to tie a man's heart, you must first tie his stomach."

Tong Sirui clapped his hands to shake off the broken leaves in his palms, and took the teacup.

"Don't brag, anyone can tell the truth. Now that we have talked about this, let's have a look first."

Tong Zhe half-opened his eyes, sucking in the fragrance of tea.Hearing Tong Sirui's words, Xia Ranjiang immediately thought of him.A meal last night really tied my heart.

"Do you want me to help?" Tong Zhe saw that Tong Sirui was in a hurry, and before Tong Sirui could answer, he quickly said, "It seems that there is no need."

"You stay well, today I'll let you know what is meant by 'the living room is the kitchen'."

Tong Zheji pulled on his slippers, hummed a ditty and went back to the sofa to continue playing games.

After the two games were over, Tong Sirui yelled "Dinner is ready", and a burst of aroma wafted from the kitchen.Tong Zhe stretched his neck and saw that Tong Sirui was clearing the dining table, and then brought out the dishes from the kitchen one by one.

"Let's eat, Master Tong."

"The young master is here."

Tong Zhe swallowed, dropped the game console and sat down at the dining table with a small step.

With a glance, Tong Zhe was a little disappointed.

There are four dishes in front of you.A plate of stir-fried shredded pork with green peppers. The green peppers inside are almost invisible green. The green peppers cut in half horizontally have been roasted and peeled off. They are covered with burnt yellow and gray black. You can still see the green pepper stalks vaguely, but fortunately inside The pork shreds are all cooked, but some are curled up, and the edges are still brown for some reason, like caterpillars that have just hatched.Next to it was a plate of scrambled eggs with leek yolks. The egg yolk and egg white were originally together, but in order to make the layers clear, they were cut into four parts with a spatula.The chives are piled upright on the eggs, like a pile of firewood about to be ignited.A small pot smelled like curry, but the inside had already turned into a dark yellow pool, with bubbles popping up from time to time, bringing up the beef chunks below.The last fried carrot with cauliflower looked quite normal, but it was so light that Tong Zhe really had no appetite.

"It's beautiful and fragrant, the color is a bit lacking, but the flaws can't hide the virtues."

Seeing Tong Zhe's disappointed expression, Tong Sirui quickly picked up a piece of beef with chopsticks and put it into Tong Zhe's bowl.

Tong Zhe curled his lips, scooped it up with a spoon and put it into his mouth, a salty and bitter taste filled his mouth immediately.Tong Zhe spit it out quickly.

"Damn it, how much salt did you put in it? It tastes like a mouthful."

"Hmm..." Tong Sirui dipped his chopsticks into the soup and sipped it in his mouth, "It's a bit salty. What about this one?"

"No salt." Tong Zhe took a bite of leek yellow, "and it's overcooked."

"what about this?"

"No broccoli."

"There's only one left."

Tong Zhe really didn't want to try it anymore, and suddenly remembered the delicious table made by Xia Ranjiang last night.Now I know what it means to have greater expectations and greater disappointments.

"Try it."

Tong Zhe couldn't help it, so he stretched out his chopsticks and picked up a piece of meat and threw it into his mouth.

"It's okay, but the green peppers are all mushy."

"Finally something to eat." Tong Sirui's nervous expression stretched out.

"Gun, can I tell the truth? Don't worry about your craft. It's sad." Tong Zhe muttered as he put rice in his mouth.

"What nonsense. Craftsmanship is slowly improving."

"It seems that you are still far from the standard of 'three wives'."

"What 'three wives'?"

"Didn't it mean that a woman should be like a noble lady outside, a housewife at home, and a prostitute in bed?"

"You want to die, no big or small."

Tong Sirui patted Tong Zhe's forehead heavily, almost slapping the food out of Tong Zhe's mouth.

"Hahaha, it's right."

"Eat quickly. Clean up after eating."

"what?"

"Go to your grandpa's house for dinner at night."

Tong Sirui drives Tong Zhe at night.The car stereo played "Traveling Light" in a loop, and Tong Sirui whistled, shaking his head from side to side, and helping the fallen sunglasses from time to time.Tong Zhe was yawned all the way by the warm wind mixed with the smell of lemon, squinting his eyes and crossing his hands in front of his chest.After a while, the car slowly drove out of the main city, and the starry sky covered by the city's brilliant lights gradually revealed its truth, and countless shining stars gradually appeared in the indigo-colored night sky.Rows of skyscrapers on both sides of the road are also slowly receding, and in front of them are antique blue bricks and white tiles, as well as faint silhouettes of hills.A few 10 minutes seem to have traveled through centuries, allowing people to steal a moment of peace and quiet from the hustle and bustle of impetuousness. Perhaps only this city can give people such a magical enjoyment.

"Hey, third aunt, let me open it."

Tong Zhe stared at Tong Sirui's expressionless side face, and then said in a pleading tone for a long time.

"It's almost there, don't worry."

Tong Sirui turned his head and glanced at Tong Zhe, then quickly turned his head to look ahead.

"Let me try it out. Now there are no ghosts on the road... Just drive for ten meters."

"You want to learn now... Why did you go to the driving school?" Tong Sirui took off his sunglasses and said, "You are so lazy, you will have to hire a driver to be a light bulb when you go for a drive with your girlfriend in the future."

"Isn't this interesting now..." Tong Zhe said, gently rolling the gear lever.

"No, this is not a joke, just sit down obediently." Tong Sirui nervously opened Tong Zhe's hand.

"All right, all right..." Tong Zhe curled his lips, "Who, I saw a pretty girl together these two days... What the hell!"

With an emergency brake, Tong Zhe's butt flew into the air. If Anan hadn't tightened his rein, he would have hit the windshield and flew out.Tong Zhe only felt that he was still in shock and had a pain in his chest.

In this way, Tong Zhe sat in the driver's seat successfully, and for some reason he felt elated, and even had a sense of sacred mission.

"Step on the clutch... don't shake your hands..."

Tong Sirui sat on the side nervously, staring at all the movements of Tong Zhe's body.Tong Zhe gripped the steering wheel tightly, staring at the darkness ahead.

Suddenly, Tong Zhe stopped for a moment, stretched his neck and looked forward hard, and slapped his palms excitedly on the steering wheel with a "snap".

"Hey, hey, look, look, there is a rabbit in front of you!"

Tong Sirui looked out following Tong Zhe's gaze, and sure enough there was a rabbit standing at the end of the searchlight in front, staring blankly at the six eyes here.

But at this moment, Tong Zhe loosened his grip on the steering wheel.Before Tong Sirui could recover, the car bumped into a tree stump in front and stopped.

"Depend on……"

Tong Sirui was so frightened that Huazhi trembled, and hurriedly got out of the car to check the injury.Fortunately, apart from a slight dent in the front of the car, the car is fine.But Tong Sirui checked the front, back, left, and right several times.

"Tell you not to drive, to see what you have done."

Tong Sirui grabbed Tong Zhe and dragged him out of the car.

"I thought it was going to be scrapped, what a big deal... This car is just a consumable, just like the equipment in our laboratory, it has a discount rate..."

Tong Zhe stood far away, pretending to be righteous.

"You think a car is just a piece of equipment, but this is your aunt's and my first car, and you've disfigured me just like that."

Tong Sirui got into the driver's seat, and Tong Zhe was also bent over to sit on the co-pilot, but was pushed outside by Tong Sirui.

"Go back, be honest."

After another quarter of an hour, Tong Zhe could see a dim light in front of his eyes, knowing that he had arrived at his grandfather's house.

The car slowly entered the courtyard. Before the car stopped, Tong Zhe jumped out of the car. The chill of the evening made Tong Zhe shiver and shrink his neck.However, the warmth emitted by the dim incandescent lamps in the bungalow was enough to make Tong Zhe forget the sleepiness along the way. Coupled with the smell of roast duck floating in the air, Tong Zhe couldn't hold back the excitement in his heart, and walked into the door in two or three steps.

"grandfather!"

Tong Zhe shouted.There is a square table in the hall, with seven or eight dishes densely packed on it. In the middle is an induction cooker with a hot pot on it, and the water vapor keeps rising.

"I'm home."

Hearing Tong Zhe's voice, grandpa hurried out of the kitchen, holding a rag in his hand, and kept wiping the green apron.Although he is nearly [-] years old, this old Chinese medicine doctor who is hanging the pot to help the world is still in good health, full of energy, and walking like a breeze.

"Why did you arrive so late?"

Grandpa saw Tong Sirui coming up on his heels, and took the big and small bags that Tong Sirui was carrying with one hand.

"Ask your grandson." Tong Sirui showed displeasure, walked into the back room and took off the windbreaker and hung it on the hanger, then stroked his hair again, "Almost a car accident."

"Huh? You're not hurt, are you?"

"Don't listen to my sister's nonsense, it was just an accident."

Tong Zhe lay on the bamboo chair in the corner and shook up - this bamboo chair has been here since Tong Zhe could remember.Apart from himself, Grandpa never let anyone else touch him.

"I went crazy and insisted on driving on the way halfway, scratching my car."

Tong Sirui was so angry that the more he thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable, so he pulled Tong Zhe's ear hard.

"It's good that people are fine, and it's good that people are fine. If the car breaks down, it can be repaired!" Grandpa was a little nervous just now, and the wrinkles in the hall deepened. Hearing that it was just a small accident, his brows also relaxed.

Tong Sirui adjusted the corners of his clothes and gave Tong Zhe a look.Tong Zhe understood, and followed Tong Sirui into a room behind him.

At the back of the room is an incense table, on which is the portrait of Grandma Tong Zhe.There is a small copper incense burner on the left and right, with two candles stuck on it.A gray-black futon was spread on the floor in front of the incense table.

Tong Zhe walked to the incense table, carefully picked up three sticks of incense with his thumb and forefinger, lit them with the candle fire, and inserted them into the incense burner.He stepped back a few steps to the side of the futon, knelt down, and kowtowed three times to the portrait.Get up, bow your head and exit the room.Tong Sirui also knelt down and kowtowed, murmuring, "Mom, I'm back."

"Everyone, big and small, come over to eat!"

Grandpa's voice came from the dining room.

"Look, today your aunt said that the two of you came back for dinner. After a busy afternoon, you like to eat."

As Grandpa said, he lifted the lid of the hot pot, and suddenly a gust of hot air rolled out, the snow-white mutton soup rolled, and the room that had been soaked in the smell of roast duck instantly merged with the smell of mutton, as if every molecule of the air was condensed Into a drop, into the lungs.

"Come on, take your light today..."

Tong Sirui picked up a duck leg and threw it into Tong Zhe's bowl.

"It's still grandpa's hard work." Tong Zhe glanced at his grandpa, squinting his eyes and stirring the hot pot with a spoon, and picked up the duck leg and carefully put it into his grandpa's bowl.

"You eat by yourself..." Grandpa sat down, "Where are your parents?"

"My dad won't be back until the end of the year, and a factory project is about to be delivered. My mom went to have fun with her old girlfriend."

Tong Zhe bit off half of the duck leg in one bite, his mouth was full of oil.

"Oh……"

Grandpa fiddled with his gray beard thoughtfully, got up slightly, picked up the sweet and sour pork ribs in front of Tong Zhe and put them into Tong Zhe's bowl.

"Can't you gain weight by eating so much..."

Tong Sirui picked up a piece of chicken as if nothing had happened, took a bite and found that it was ginger, and quickly spat it out.

"It's the time to grow your body, what is fat or not."

Grandpa pretended to blame, and picked up another chopsticks of shredded bamboo shoots.

"Here, here's a piece of chicken."

Tong Zhe looked at Tong Sirui rolling his eyes and looked a little disappointed, and quickly picked the biggest piece of chicken and put it in front of Tong Sirui, and a smile appeared on Tong Sirui's face.

After eating, Tong Sirui and Tong Zhe cleaned up the dishes, tidied up the kitchen, and each moved a chair to lean against the gate.Two old-fashioned porch lamps under the eaves cast a dim yellow incandescent light.

This scene seems to have remained unchanged for more than ten years.Whether it is the grass growing in early spring or the fireflies dancing in midsummer, whether it is the bright starry sky in autumn night or the heavy snow in winter, the cycle of seasons changes like this throughout the year.The persimmon tree outside the door sprouted, blossomed, bore fruit, and withered, standing alone, watching all kinds of people on the road.Tea farmers carrying bamboo baskets, overseas Chinese returning home to visit relatives, children returning home from school, and neighbors moving to the city, everything seems to be changing, except for these dozens of square meters of land that seem to be isolated from the world and cannot tolerate any strangeness. It is impossible to keep the master from growing up and getting old.

The door knocker above Tong Zhe's head was covered with deep red rust, but the connection with the door was polished bright.Tong Zhe still clearly remembers arguing with Tong Xi ten years ago when he accidentally bumped into the door knocker and broke a big piece of skin on his forehead.Deep in the eaves is still the swallow's nest.Every year when the color of the old mud completely darkens, a new wave of swallows will come back.Tong Zhe would get on the ladder and ask Tong Xi to help him up, and he would climb up to see the newly hatched swallows.Big Big Wolf waited anxiously around the ladder with a "meow meow", scratching the sneakers that Tong Xi had just bought from time to time, but was kicked aside by Tong Xi.

"Hey, I almost forgot." Tong Sirui winked at Tong Zhe, "Didn't you just say that Jing Wenshuo got very close to a female teacher recently?"

"What Jing Wenshuo? I never said that!"

Tong Zhe pretended to be innocent and avoided the hot eyes of Tong Sirui's mature woman.

"Didn't you say it on the way here? Why did you forget it so quickly? Say it quickly!"

"I didn't say it was Jing Wenshuo, I said Yang Xincheng."

Tong Zhe muttered, moved the chair to the side, leaned over and put his head in his hands, avoiding Tong Sirui's punches and kicks.

Tong Zhe was fighting with Tong Sirui, and Grandpa leaned over holding the medicine jar.

"what is this?"

Tong Zhe took the medicine jar and put it on the ground.There was a strong herbal smell inside.

"Your Aunt Zhang next door asked me to prepare a medicine. Uncle Zhang has been doing business outside for a long time, and his health is not good. Now he has fatty liver and high blood pressure after a long period of socializing. I will prepare a prescription for him to understand alcohol. Although it won’t have any major effect, at least it can relieve it. This person, he still has to rely on himself for recuperation, and it’s useless to waste his body and finally eat elixir.” Grandpa said, unpacking several packets of Chinese medicinal materials wrapped in kraft paper , Pour it into the medicine jar.

"Can this work?" Tong Sirui asked.

"This medicine is a good medicine to prevent the side effects of alcohol." Grandpa's tone suddenly became serious, "Come and see, how many other medicines do you know. I taught you when I was young."

"This is chrysanthemum, kudzu root, fat sea, bamboo leaves..."

Tong Zhe counted the medicines blindly by the light, as if he was back when he was a child, lying on the old counter with sandalwood, watching the white snow flying in the sky outside the window, while listening to his grandfather explaining the uses and benefits of each Chinese medicine. story.The medicine cabinets that can’t be seen up to the side seem to be the spirits of the world, and the red paper with the names of the medicines written by the grandfather with a brush is like a seal, so that these spirits will fade away from their wildness and perversity, and fall asleep in their dark small rooms. , The day of goodbye to the sun is the time to dedicate your life.

"Aunt Zhang boiled out so many medicines? How troublesome... Are there no pills or something?"

Tong Zhe took a deep breath, and the familiar fragrance of medicine filled his whole body.

"The medicine made now is more effective. There are also pills, which are kept in the cabinet, but no one has used them for many years." Grandpa's expression was a little dignified, "Now I think this old method is stupid, and I don't even look down on it. But ah , This thing that has been passed down for thousands of years is the most suitable for our Chinese physique. Those who suffer from cancer, chemotherapy over and over again, and finally exhausted physically and mentally are not necessarily good. People get sick because they violate the laws of nature for a long time. Tell me , the problems that have been left for decades and decades, isn’t it difficult to cure the root cause in one step? Now everyone thinks it’s slow, they like to go fast, looking for excitement, and working so tiringly, no, all kinds of intractable diseases are also Out."

Tong Zhe listened thoughtfully, but his attention was completely focused on the pills that his grandfather had just mentioned, and he couldn't help but secretly rejoiced. The long-planned plan finally had a guarantee. ah.

"Hey, grandpa. Do you have any medicine for migraines?"

"Yes. But migraines still depend on the cause. Some are nervous headaches, and some are caused by insufficient blood supply." Grandpa stroked his beard. "What? You have migraines at a young age?"

"It's not me." Tong Zhe waved his hand, "A good buddy of mine. As for the cause, I think it might be a little like physical weakness and insufficient blood supply."

"If it is serious, let the doctor see it in person, and you can't just take the medicine casually. The medicine is three-point poisonous. You must be cautious when treating the disease."

"Then when will I bring him here, can you show me?" Tong Zhe suddenly regained his energy and moved over.

"Okay, anyway, grandpa is only planting flowers to write and write at home now, you come to accompany me, an old man, I am too happy." Grandpa touched Tong Zhe's head and said.

"Then can you give me some medicine first, the kind that is not three-point poisonous."

"Okay, some warming and tonic chronic medicine can be used temporarily. I will write you a prescription later."

It was not easy to stay until midnight, and there was a dead silence around.Tong Zhe quietly lifted the quilt, got out of bed, and groped into the innermost small room by the light of the mobile phone flashlight—Tong Zhe was not waking up at night, but was looking for the hangover pills that his grandfather mentioned just now.This small room used to be used by grandpa to store medicinal materials, but it was basically left unused after retirement, and there were scattered books and useless medicines in it.

Tong Zhe looked around and quickly squatted down.Intuitively, the pill is probably in the bottom right drawer.Holding the mobile phone in one hand, Tong Zhe carefully opened the drawer with the other, a musty smell came out, Tong Zhe sprayed his nose twice, and pulled the drawer to the end in one breath.There were indeed two small wooden boxes inside.Tong Zhe reached in and grabbed it and took it out.When I opened it, there were indeed two pills lying inside. After sniffing it vigorously, it should be what I was looking for.Tong Zhe wiped the wooden box and put it on the ground, then pushed the drawer back and closed it at a constant speed.

"Who the hell?"

Just as Tong Zhe turned around, a black shadow flew past his feet and got into the corner. Tong Zhe almost couldn't stand still and fell on the cabinet.

Tong Zhe took a closer look, and although the black shadow had already merged with the dark corner, he could vaguely see two faint blue spots of light moving, and his heartbeat immediately began to speed up.Just as he tiptoed and was about to go over to find out, suddenly, a long cat meow came from the corner.

"Damn it scared me to death." A big stone fell to the ground in Tong Zhe's heart. "Big Big Wolf, you little elf."

Big Big Wolf uttered a "meow", jumped off the bamboo chair in the corner, swayed over and leaned on Tong Zhe's calf, turned half of his belly up, and kept rubbing his little paws against Tong Zhe's slippers.

Tong Zhe scratched Big Big Wolf's chin, patted it on the head, and hurried back to his room.

After staying at grandpa's house for two days, Tong Zhe followed Tong Sirui back to the city, ate McDonald's for three days, ordered takeaway twice, and bought some snacks to fill his stomach.When Tong Sirui wanted Tong Zhe to go to her house for dinner again, Tong Zhe refused to agree.This is how I eat and sleep every day, and eat and sleep.Lying on the bed, Tong Zhe always thought of the scene of holding Xia Ranjiang in his arms that night, and the urge that he suppressed so hard that night.But these are not important, Tong Zhe is thinking about the "Lawrance" plan in his heart every day, and he is eager to go to class tomorrow.

On the last day of the holiday, Tong Zhe tossed and turned in bed all night.Whether it's character dialogue or clothing styling, every detail in the plan is gradually becoming clear, and the only thing left is to put it into action.

However, this plan is more like Tong Zhe's personal action, and it seems that everything has nothing to do with Xia Ranjiang.

After that night, Xia Ranjiang remained depressed and did not take the initiative to contact Tong Zhe.Although Xia Ranjiang had rarely contacted Tong Zhe before.But this time, Tong Zhe felt a lot of uneasiness in his heart - mixed with a little anxiety and fear, and these emotions were intertwined, sublimated, and turned into a force, just like the mist in the autumn morning, smearing Turn into dewdrops within reach on the dead leaves.The dewdrops are getting heavier and heavier, crushing the dead branches, converging into a trickle, converging into a mountain stream, converging into a river, and finally setting off a wave of waves, invincible and invincible.At this moment, in Tong Zhe's eyes, Xia Ranjiang is just a flat boat, trapped in the undercurrent of countless rocks.What he has to do is to escort the hidden and omnipresent force, so that this dilapidated boat can get rid of all obstacles, and it will be smooth sailing in the morning sun.

Waking up in the morning, Tong Zhe drew a circle on October 10th with a red pen on the wall calendar behind the door, and traced the word "competition" underneath, and grabbed his schoolbag casually.Before walking out of the gate, he turned back, tidied up the few pages of novels on the table and stuffed them into his schoolbag.He glanced at the hanging chain next to the photo frame again, grabbed the hanging chain but hesitated, opened the drawer and threw the hanging chain in.Tong Zhe sighed, as if relieved.

"Hey, Tong Zhe, the little sweater is quite flamboyant."

Just as Tong Zhe parked his bicycle, he turned around and saw Yang Xincheng walking towards him, followed by two girls who were discussing something with a large book in their hands.Yang Xincheng's greeting immediately shifted their attention to Tong Zhe.

"Same show, same show..."

Tong Zhe was expressionless, unmoved by the scrutinizing eyes of the three people in front of him, but this answer caused the two girls to look at each other with their papers in their arms, and laughed.

Tong Zhe took two steps forward, wrapped his arms around Yang Xincheng's neck, and carried him to the side of the road.Yang Xinchen was caught off guard and almost lost his footing.

"Hey, I heard that your kid will go to the competition in a few days?" Tong Zhe lowered his head slightly and whispered.

"How do you know this?"

Yang Xincheng deliberately expressed a little surprise, but Tong Zhe caught this fleeting expression clearly.Tong Zhe curled his lips secretly, and kept calling him a hypocrite in his heart.

"Who doesn't know about this honor for the school. You kid can do it."

As Tong Zhe said, he patted Yang Xincheng on the back hard.

"No way, it's just lucky to be selected."

Yang Xincheng stood up slowly, with a hint of pride in his eyes, Tong Zhe could almost see his big nostrils upturned.

"Well, it just so happens that I celebrate my birthday today, and I've made an appointment with some brothers to have a gathering at the East Gate tonight."

"Okay."

Tong Zhe was a little surprised. He wanted to ask Yang Xincheng alone, but now he came to him by himself.

"I'll call you later, remember tonight. See you soon!"

As he said that, Yang Xincheng swaggered towards the library under the escort of two girls, and from a distance he heard the two "left and right protectors" smiling flatteringly at Yang Xincheng.

Tong Zhe looked at their backs, and smiled sinisterly with drooping eyelids.Turn around and walk towards the teaching building.

This class is English again.For some reason, in the past, taking English class was like going to the execution ground, but today Tong Zhe is quite aggressive.

After class in the morning, Tong Zhe went to the cafeteria to eat something.There was no class in the afternoon, so I went for a walk in the library and found that the sunny places were occupied by senior students who were preparing for the postgraduate entrance examination.But this autumn's warm sun can't live up to it. Tong Zhe found a lawn with few people, drove away the long-legged birds looking for food on the lawn, sat on the ground with a thud, and picked up a grass stalk and put it in his mouth.The warm afternoon sun made people gradually lose consciousness, and after a while Tong Zhe fell asleep on all fours, without even feeling that the long-legged birds that had blown away came back and pecked at his toes.

When he woke up, Tong Zhe couldn't open his eyes because of a dazzling light.Only then did Tong Zhe realize that it was almost dark.I was lying in a circle of dim landscape lights, looking from a distance like a cremation pyre surrounded by flames floating on the lake.Thinking of this, Tong Zhe shuddered from head to toe, and quickly got up and ran in small steps.

The phone rang.Tong Zhe took out his mobile phone and saw that there were already three missed calls, all from Yang Xincheng.After answering the phone, Tong Zhe quickly got on his bicycle and went straight to the east gate of the school.As soon as the car stopped, Tong Zhe remembered something, and quickly took out a small wooden box from his bag, opened it, picked up the hangover pills he had stolen from his grandfather's house a few days ago, and threw them into his mouth, swallowing the pungent smell.

"What the hell are you doing here? I thought you were dead."

As soon as he entered the hall, a strong smell of smoke mixed with the smell of food rushed over. In front of him was a large round table surrounded by six or seven men and women. Yang Xincheng's greeting turned the eyes of the group of people to Tong Zhe. I was a little dazed for a while.

"Yo, your brother is much more handsome than you."

On the left side of Yang Xincheng was a woman sitting in a seat, trembling up and down with a cigarette dangling between her blood-red lips.It seemed that the cry just now did not come from here.

"That's right, Tong Zhe is the grassroots of our school..."

"One." The woman opposite Yang Xincheng turned her head and looked at Tong Zhe like a tiger watching a wolf, making Tong Zhe worried that her head would break off. "Our Chairman Yang is also a little green among thousands of flowers."

"Just say that to you, blow it!"

Yang Xincheng was clearly in a state of extreme agitation, he staggered over clutching the beer bottle, grabbed Tong Zhe by the shoulder, and dragged him to an empty seat.

"Come on, it just so happens that everyone is gathered, let's respect the birthday star together, and wish that every year there will be today, and every year will have today!"

"Lvzi, what you said is wrong. Of course, this birthday is every year has today, and every year has today. We have to wish Brother Yang a smooth career and a triumphant return!"

"Yes yes yes... I will punish myself first!"

After speaking, a group of people stood up, and Tong Zhe hurriedly grabbed a bottle of Coke to greet them.Everyone's glasses hit the ground with a "bang bang", Tong Zhe had to hold the Coke tightly and carefully avoid the glasses, in case there was any discordant sound that would cause everyone's dissatisfaction.

After drinking for three rounds, Tong Zhe's initial vigilance gradually eased.From the moment he entered the door, Tong Zhe prepared a bunch of excuses to prevent being drunk, but today, firstly, the protagonist is Yang Xincheng, secondly, everyone is unfamiliar with him, and thirdly, Tong Zhe is not interested in these people.Everyone who tells dirty jokes tells dirty jokes, flatters flatters, and curses, but they don't pay much attention to this newcomer.Tong Zhe also ended up at ease, drinking Coke by himself, and emptied the food in front of him by the way.

After a while, everyone couldn't bear it anymore, and each of them helped each other to say goodbye, leaving only Tong Zhe and Yang Xincheng—it's not that Tong Zhe likes this place, it's just that his attention is on this person, so he simply picks up the day. It's better to hit the sun, and it's time to get down to business after eating and drinking.

When the last person left the table, Tong Zhe glanced at Yang Xincheng, who was beside him, who was in high spirits, and quickly moved over to sit next to him.

"Come on, come on, buddy will drink with you now, let me toast you first."

Taking advantage of Yang Xincheng's inattention, Tong Zhe brought up a bottle of Yanghe Daqu from under the table and filled it up for himself.Then he grabbed the wine bottle in front of Yang Xincheng and poured it for him.

"Drink!" Tong Zhe picked up the wine glass and drank it down.

"It's still brother, you are refreshing, unlike these careless people, get out of here as soon as possible!"

Yang Xincheng's cheeks were flushed, his eyes were bloodshot, and he shook his hands in the direction of the door.After speaking, Yang Xincheng also grabbed his wine glass and drank it down.

"Hey, no, there's something wrong with your wine."
