"Jiang Tian knows?!" Sheng Wang was stunned.
Zhao Xi nodded: "Yes."
Sheng Wangshu turned around. He hesitated for a long time before bending over to pick up the book, and asked again incredulously, "Jiang Tian knows?"
Zhao Xi: "…"
He couldn't help laughing: "I talked to you and didn't see you drop the book, what book are you dropping now?"
Sheng Wang didn't answer, but was really stunned for a long time.
Various previous scenes flashed through his mind quickly, two people, four people, a group of people. In the end, it was fixed on the same sentence - more than one person said that he and Jiang Tian were very similar to Zhao Xi and Lin Beiting. He does not mean that. Sheng Wang has heard it many times, and every time, Jiang Tian is almost by his side.
So how could he possibly know
impossible.
Sheng Wang thought blankly.
impossible…
Otherwise, how could he have heard it so many times without refuting it once
"Why is it impossible?" Zhao Xi suddenly said, Sheng Wang looked at him, only then did he realize that he had said the impossible.
"Isn't it normal for Jiang Tian to know? I've known him for many years." Zhao Xi sighed: "He was still young when I was in high school. Not to mention I don't feel it, but now that I mention it, I have actually met him. When I was so young? It was amazing."
He talks about everything with a smile, whether it's him and Lin Beiting or he and Jiang Tian, they seem to be chatting. But the more he talked, the more confused Sheng Wang became.
Yes, Jiang Tian has lived outside Wutong since he was a child, and Zhao Xi is also from here. They have known each other for so many years and they have such a good relationship. It is normal to know that.
However, if he knew about the relationship between Zhao Xi and Lin Beiting, what would he think about every time he heard the words that they were similar
Why is he always so silent
Sheng Wang thought: Are you afraid that if I refute it, I will not be able to come down on stage? still…
The content after "still" is too absurd, he knows he shouldn't think about it, but he can't help thinking about it. So the heart that sank to the end floated gently again in that kind of vague thought.
He suddenly felt that he was hypocritical - he kept telling himself "that's my brother", but in the end, he couldn't help but become happy when he thought of the absurd possibility of one in a billion, despite the possibility Small enough to be ignored and never verified.
He stared at a certain point in the void for a long time, and then asked Zhao Xi: "Brother Xi, did he know when he was very young?"
"You said Jiang Tian?"
"Um."
Zhao Xi recalled for a moment, and said: "He didn't know when I was with Lin Zigang, he was too young at that time, maybe five or six years old. I often helped my dad deliver things to Uncle Dumb, and he always stayed On the opposite side of Mr. Ding's house."
"He doesn't seem to be named Ding." Sheng Wang said.
"Yes, but the old man's specific surname is probably not known to many people, and he rarely mentions it." Zhao Xi smirked wickedly, "Old man Ding's nickname is still from me, and it was later caught in a few alleys. The children of this generation plagiarized, and later this generation is called that."
"That's what they call him? That's the first time I call him Grandpa Ding, his eyes are so big?"
"To scare you to play, the old man has a big temper, but he is a good person."
Zhao Xi was sitting on Jiang Tian's table, and he took a ruler out of his pencil case and played with it in his hand: "Jiang Tian often read books in the old man's yard at that time. The kid must be very proud when he is older, and he must be very boring."
"I was pretty wild at the time, and I didn't have much patience. Sometimes I teased him and left, and sometimes I chatted with him for a while. At first he ignored me, but when I came across a book that I couldn't understand, I went over there. He showed off. He may have never seen a hooligan who likes to read books. He was quite novel, so he reluctantly took care of me. After that, I got to know him slowly, and I brought Lin Zi to know him. Lin Zi was famous when he was in middle school. The school bully, he has no good face all day, he sat face to face with Jiang Tian, the scene was really funny."
Sheng Wang remembered Jiang Tian in the mouth of old man Ding, and the two years Zhao Xi mentioned were when he was rejected by his grandmother. With his awkward personality, being able to get acquainted with Zhao Xi and Lin Beiting on the bright side will only give more weight in his heart. That was probably one of his few friends at that time.
"Jiang Tian didn't know about it at that time, but then it was a university? I can't remember the exact year. I came back from a vacation to pack my things and wanted to find some suitable books for Jiang Tian to read, but I found a lot of old stuff. Among them, there are two Polaroid photos, which happened to be caught in an old book." Zhao Xi recalled for a while, then laughed: "At that time, I and Lin Zi were no longer together, and I was a little stunned when I saw the photos suddenly, I didn't immediately Put it away, and Jiang Tian saw it."
Seeing Sheng Wang's puzzled expression, he added: "The level of the photo is about the same as what you saw the other day."
Sheng Wang made an embarrassed "Oh", indicating that he understood.
Zhao Xi raised his eyebrows, this bastard is worthy of being a school bully, and he was not embarrassed as a client, and said, "Jiang Tian was not very old at that time, he should be less than 10 years old. I thought he would not understand at all. , I didn't expect that kid's reaction to be so great."
"Big reaction?" Sheng Wang didn't understand for a while.
Zhao Xi thought for a while and said, "Special, special exclusion."
Sheng Wang was stunned.
The absurdity of 1/10,000 may suddenly disappear in the words of Zhao Xi, like a punctured balloon. After bursting, only a little bit of debris is left and slowly falls to the ground in silence.
After an unknown amount of time, he asked softly, "Is it very... Repulsive?"
"Well, he left without taking the book." Zhao Xi said, "He was young at that time, and he was different from now. No matter how tense his face was, he could still see it on his face. I could see that he was there out of politeness. Trying to bear it, but I can also tell that he feels very…”
He frowned and considered the words, Sheng Wang suspected that he would say the word "disgusting" for a while, but he finally said "uncomfortable".
Zhao Xi said that Jiang Tian looked very uncomfortable at the time.
"So I said that your reaction today surprised me." Zhao Xi looked at Sheng Wang with light brown eyes, fiddling with the ruler back and forth in her hand, "It's very different from Jiang Tian. But his kind is rare. Most people who knew about it had a reaction that was somewhere between the two of you."
Sheng Wang lowered his eyes, half self-deprecating and half cooperatively smiled and said, "Really, then we are really brothers, both extremes are accounted for."
"It's quite extreme. I was almost suspicious of life by that kid at the time." Zhao Xi said jokingly, "After he left, I spent a day in self-examination. I was thinking about it? Is it that hard to accept?"
"What happened after that?" Sheng Wang asked.
"Later? Later, I said in my heart that the kid was a troublemaker, so why should I coax him and let him go. As a result, within two days, I went to chat with him honestly." Zhao Xi raised her chin, " It's like I'm talking to you now, but it's not so easy. He's very bored, he doesn't say anything, and I don't know if my chat is effective. "
"I wondered if he had some kind of psychological shadow at the time. Then I found out that he may have encountered something."
Sheng Wang raised his eyes suddenly, but Zhao Xi didn't plan to say deeply: "I guessed, I won't tell you about things that have no basis. Anyway, I tried my best and talked to him many times. It didn't take long after that. He moved away from here, and I also went abroad. There are also contacts, but not many. After a year or two, I returned to China for summer vacation. He came to Wutong a few times and said a few times before. Old man Ding, he finally came to me on his own initiative, don't be embarrassed and apologized to me, I knew he figured it out."
He figured it out.
These four words are an understatement, but Zhao Xi knows that for a person with a character like Jiang Tian, it takes nearly two years to reverse some inherent cognition, and there must be tug-of-war and struggle.
It was only from that day that he realized that for Jiang Tian, he and Lin Beiting were really important friends.
"I always say that he's a little too old. Actually, he's not. He's arrogant and like a bear like me before. He's a lot of times, so he's just relying on that face." Zhao Xi tsk tsk He said in a deep voice: "But he is very rational, not to mention his age, people much older than him may not be able to figure this out. He won't spread the problems of one person to a group of people, That's pretty rare."
Zhao Xi raised his eyes as he spoke, but found that Sheng Wang had already lost his mind. He didn't know where he heard and what he thought, maybe because the classroom lights were too cold, making his face pale.
This kind of reaction is really abnormal, and after thinking about some of the previous details, Zhao Xi gradually frowned. Looking at the boy's slightly drooping eyebrows, he suddenly whispered, "Sheng Wang?"
"Huh?" Sheng Wang came back to his senses and looked up at him.
"I see that you are distracted, and your face is not very good, and you are not feeling well?" Zhao Xi said.
"No." Sheng Wang shook his head and said, "I just thought of something, it's irrelevant."
"That's good." Zhao Xi said.
While speaking, Sheng Wang suddenly found that there was a new message on the screen of his mobile phone, which he received two minutes ago. He unlocked the lock and clicked into the WeChat interface, the news came from Jiang Tian—
Changbai Mountain Sacred Tree: I'm fine here
Changbai Mountain Sacred Tree: Waiting for you downstairs
Sheng Wang looked at the note name with a complicated look, and typed in and replied: Just come.
Zhao Xi asked, "It's over on Jiang Tian's side?"
Sheng Wang nodded: "Yes."
"Then let's go, go downstairs." He said and stood up from the table, not forgetting to put the ruler that he played with for a long time back into Jiang Tian's pencil case.
Sheng Wang followed behind him, and the more he looked at the note name, the more dazzling it became, so he changed it to "The Movie King in the Forest", and he didn't know whether to make fun of Jiang Tian or himself.
The cold light in the classroom suddenly dimmed, Sheng Wang looked up and saw Zhao Xi was turning off the lights. He finished changing the name of the note, and just clicked to confirm, Zhao Xi in front suddenly turned his head and asked him: "Sheng Wang, I actually wanted to ask just now, you won't..."
He spoke hesitantly and vaguely, but Sheng Wang understood it almost instantly. His heart jumped, and he smiled at Zhao Xi like a conditioned reflex, and said, "What are you thinking about, Brother Xi, I like girls."
Zhao Xi looked down at him, his eyes were rarely sulky, but rather gentle. He nodded and said, "Ah, that's fine."
Sheng Wang was stunned for a moment.
"This road is not easy." Zhao Xi said again, as if feeling emotional and telling him.
"I know." Sheng Wang said, reaching for the handle of the classroom door.
As soon as the door opened, Jiang Tian leaned against the door and lowered his head and swiped his mobile phone. He didn't know how long he stood here and heard a few words.
Sheng Wang thought about what he had just said, and there was only one word left in his heart - grass.
