Xu Tangcheng rushed home with a bunch of gifts on the weekend. Yi Zhe knew he was coming back, so he waited downstairs early to feed the black cat that he hadn't seen in a long time.

The day after the results came out, YiZhe called Xu Tangcheng and said he wanted to invite him to dinner. Xu Tangcheng guessed that YiZhe probably wouldn't go to those classmates' reunions, so he said to him, "I remember you said that some classmates are here to help you with your homework. Well, do you want to invite them to a meal? Get together by the way."

In any case, Xu Tangcheng believes that the friendship between classmates in middle school is different from that in college, postgraduate and so on. Teenagers, the most innocent, the most passionate, and the most unrepeatable campus in the teenage years.

YiZhe over there thought for a while and said, "Okay," but immediately said, "Then you come too."

"You classmates have dinner, why don't I go?"

Xu Tangcheng wanted to say that when he was done with his classmates, he would take him to eat something delicious, but Yi Zhe said, "Okay, you are also the one who helped me."

He said this, Xu Tangcheng's heart softened, and he agreed.

"Where to eat tonight?"

YiZhe took the things from Xu Tangcheng's hand and helped him carry them home.

"Originally I wanted to treat you to something good, but... I work part-time in a barbecue restaurant, and the boss must have me there." He looked at Xu Tangcheng's face carefully and asked, "Do you want to eat? I don't want to eat. If so, we'll change the location, you pick."

"Okay," Xu Tangcheng said happily immediately, "I haven't eaten barbecue for a long time. The barbecue restaurants around our school are all restaurant-style, not as cool as our home."

Yi Zhe breathed a sigh of relief, but asked again, "Is Tang Xi going? If she goes, she should not go to the barbecue, it's too boring."

"She didn't go, she went to my uncle's house to play."

YiZhe nodded. When the two got upstairs, YiZhe was about to hand the bag to Xu Tangcheng, but Xu Tangcheng waved his hand: "For you, congratulations gift."

YiZhe was stunned. Xu Tangcheng smiled and pulled one side of the bag to show him the contents.

"It's nothing, I bought you a schoolbag and a watch."

When I was in middle school, everyone’s books were kept in the school all year round, and there was only one and a half days off every month. Basically, no one took the books home. Xu Tangcheng felt that Yizhe must not have a schoolbag, so he went to give it to him. picked one. As for the watch, it was a gift that Xu Tangcheng chose after considering it for a long time.

Although YiZhe doesn't understand the various brands of watches, but looking at the style and packaging of the watch, he knows that it must not be cheap.

"You don't have to buy me things all the time." He squeezed the paper bag, lowered his head, raised his head again, "You..."

He wanted to say that it would be fine if you came back, but when it came to his mouth, he wasn't sure if it was abrupt.

"you… "

The door on the opposite side was suddenly opened, Zhou Hui leaned out, saw them, and smiled: "I just said that I heard a movement at the door, why didn't I enter the house when I came back?"

"Immediately." Xu Tangcheng was afraid that YiZhe would reject the gift again, so he shoved the bag into his hand, "I'll go change clothes, I'll come out immediately, put your things back first."

YiZhe looked at him, then looked at Zhou Hui, who had a gentle face behind him, and nodded silently.

The watch was cool when I put it on my hand, YiZhe watched the second hand make a lot of laps quietly, but he still felt that he didn't see enough. Xu Tangcheng was very happy when he saw that he put on the watch, and repeatedly praised him for his good looks.

"It seems that I have good eyesight." Walking on the road, he also took YiZhe's hand and put it in front of him to admire, "I fell in love with this watch at a glance, do you think the design of this dial is particularly beautiful? You look much better than mine, my wrist is thinner, and the watch looks too big to fit, the salesperson didn't recommend me to buy it, but I thought you should be wearing it just right."

He stretched his wrist to compare with YiZhe, YiZhe looked sideways, moved his forearm, adjusted to a position completely parallel to his, and got closer.

His arms are thicker and darker than his.

YiZhe curled the corners of his mouth.

They had arranged to meet directly at the barbecue restaurant, so there were only two people, Yi Zhe and Xu Tangcheng. The journey was not long, only ten minutes, but the two of them never stopped talking. Not all conversations have very meaningful content. Most of the time, they are chatting nonsense. For example, when waiting for a red light, Xu Tangcheng saw a milk tea shop on the side of the road and asked, "When will you open a milk tea shop? ?"

YiZhe turned his head to look, but he didn't know when the store opened. He doesn't seem to pay attention to the changes in the surrounding environment, even if it is the road that he passes through every day, he won't take a second glance.

"It should be new."

"It looks good, does it taste good?"

"I haven't had a drink."

The signal lights have changed, but YiZhe has not left.

"Do you want to drink? I'll go get you..." After a pause, he changed his words, "Let's go buy a cup and try it?"

"Farewell," Xu Tangcheng thought for a while, "Eating skewers and drinking milk tea doesn't quite match."

As usual, when he made a decision, YiZhe nodded in response.

After taking two steps, Xu Tangcheng said "hey" and asked, "Will I have a generation gap with you later?"

Pinching his fingers to calculate, how could he be six years old

"What if I don't understand what you said?" Thinking of this, Xu Tangcheng himself felt amused, and felt that he had probably become an "old man" when he was with them.

Yi Zhe immediately said, "Just talk to me, you can understand what I say."

"How can I do that?" Xu Tangcheng laughed, "Don't worry, I've been in the student union for a few years. I'll try my best to keep up with you, and I won't embarrass you."

"No," YiZhe explained, "they were too noisy. Especially the chestnut-haired guy named You Fang, he had to come along by himself. He talked a lot, you don't need to pay attention to him."

When Xu Tangcheng heard it, he just smiled and shook his head: "No, I have to look like a neighbor's big brother."

When the two of them arrived, Zhao Weifan and the others also arrived. The owner of the barbecue shop happened to come out of the house with a plate of peanut edamame. When he saw them, he immediately greeted them. Not only greeted him, but also introduced him to friends who came to eat here. He was even so enthusiastic that YiZhe regretted agreeing to have dinner here.

"Oh, you don't know, that table is well-studied." Like showing off his own children, the boss pointed to YiZhe and Zhao Weifan and said, "See, these two children who work here with me have passed the exam of 700. More points!"

The table was amazed and said "amazing", but YiZhe was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig into the ground. He glanced around indiscriminately, and saw Xu Tangcheng snickering while covering his mouth with his fist.

You Fang didn't seem to think it was lively enough, so he put one arm on the back of the chair, raised the other arm, and patted Jiang Ziyang who was beside him: "Boss, there's another one here, more than seven hundred. There are three in total. Seven hundred people are all eating here!"

Jiang Ziyang was patted by him and leaned forward, raised his hand, and pushed the glasses that were swaying down.

Zhao Weifan glared at You Fang.

When the boss heard it, he immediately shouted: "It's more than 700! Ouch, tell me how this test is done! By the way, have you seen the big banners hanging in No. 1 High School? Not only No. 1 High School, but also on several streets. It's hanging, and the co-authorship is the name of the three of you!"

When it comes to this, Yi Zhe is even more embarrassed. No. 1 Middle School will also hang such large banners in previous years, but usually after the colleges have finished recording, a few words such as "Warmly celebrate the admission of xxx students from our school to xx colleges" are hung up. . This year, their grades were really good, and the headmaster was so happy that they hung up the three of them after they got their grades. YiZhe got goosebumps when he saw it, and he didn't want to go down those streets at all.

After the boss finished showing off, he came over and supported the back of a chair with both hands: "You are a table of academic bullies."

"I'm not." You Fang quickly cleared it up.

"You are not more than six hundred, you are also a scholar, a scholar."

The boss looked at Xu Tangcheng again: "I think this one is also a scholar."

Yi Zhe had been burying his head all the time and was focusing on the edamame skin on the table, but then he suddenly raised his head and said to the boss, "Well, he's a big one."

The boss let out an "ouch" with an expression of admiration on his face. YiZhe straightened his back and added, "Doctor."

After the boss shook his head and walked away in admiration, Xu Tangcheng approached Yizhe and said, "I have only studied for a year as a doctor."

"It's not too late."

Hearing the boss shouting, Zhao Weifan bit the peanut and covered his face, and whispered, "Does the whole city have to know that we are eating here tonight?"

You Fang, who was sitting beside him, laughed cheaply: "Who made you the top three."

"Then why are you following?" Zhao Weifan scolded him.

You Fang smiled at her: "Where are you going, I'm going."

"Everyone, YiZhe, knows that they are invited to thank us for our counseling. What about you, we won't even buy a plate of edamame after counseling you for a long time."

"Oh, sister, don't bring such a wronged person." You Fang leaned towards Zhao Weifan, "Do I want to eat with you every day, you told me that you are going to sleep, you are not free, you want to play with your nephew, no Empty, want to work, no time... And you don't even take me to play, you don't even give me a chance to express my gratitude... "

Xu Tangcheng watched with interest they were making trouble with each and every one of them, and after a while, he secretly poked YiZhe with the unopened chopsticks. Yi Zhe leaned over and Xu Tangcheng asked in a low voice, "Are they boyfriend and girlfriend?"

YiZhe shook his head and said into his ear, "He pursued Zhao Weifan unilaterally."

Xu Tangcheng nodded suddenly. I sat up straight again, but no matter how I looked at it, I felt that the girl was also intentional. It was obvious that every word was disgusting the boy, but it was not painful or itchy, showing obvious closeness.

The advantage of being acquaintances is that the boss greeted them at the table with everything, and other guests urged them three times, but they set up a table in a few moments. Zhao Weifan and Yi Zhe were familiar with each other, so he went back with a few bottles of beer.

YiZhe put a bottle of Arctic Ocean in front of Xu Tangcheng: "You drink this."

Xu Tangcheng didn't understand: "Why should I drink this?"

"Aren't you good at drinking? Stop drinking." YiZhe lifted the bottle cap with a screwdriver and moved the bottle toward Xu Tangcheng.

Xu Tangcheng patted him on the wrist, and came over with a bottle of beer around his hand.

"Who do you look down on?"

Seeing that he didn't do anything, he took two sips, YiZhe raised his eyebrows, and drank as much as he wanted, and even carried him back.

There is really no generation gap between Xu Tangcheng and a few of them, not only there is no generation gap, but also quite reasonable, especially He You Fang. After only two glasses of wine, You Fang had already moved to Xu Tangcheng's side, wrapping his arms around his shoulders and calling out "brother".

Who is your brother

YiZhe was unhappy, so he suffocated a whole glass of wine.

When the meal was almost finished, Xu Tangcheng suddenly reached out and touched his thigh. YiZhe froze all over, and quickly stabilized: "What?"

"Don't drink by yourself," Xu Tangcheng whispered to him, "They have helped you so much, you say thank you a few words to thank them."

"Oh." YiZhe subconsciously listened to what he said, raised his glass and stood up, but after standing up, he realized that there was no need to be so solemn. He suddenly got up, causing several people on the table to look at him, including Xu Tangcheng of course.

It would be silly to sit down now.

"That..." YiZhe cleared his throat, "I was not good at English and Chinese before..."

Someone who has never said such a thing, never experienced such a scene, got stuck as soon as he opened his mouth.

It was a lively meal, and the surroundings were very chaotic. He stammered and couldn't say why. In embarrassment and panic, his first reaction was to look for Xu Tangcheng.

When he turned his head, Xu Tangcheng was leaning comfortably on the back of the chair, his hands crossed on his lap, his head tilted slightly, and he looked at him with a faint smile.

The feasting and feasting illuminated his eyes, and in the middle, he was the one who changed his mind.

A heart seemed to have been in a deep sleep for a long time, and YiZhe couldn't accurately describe the shock of that look. He only knew that he had grown so big and had never been seen with such eyes.

There was encouragement in those eyes, there was faith, and there was even…

pride.

Pride, this has become his belief for many years.
