When I reunited with Shitou after many years, I spent the whole day absent-mindedly, wringing my fingers and waiting for school to be over.
I made an appointment with Shitou to have dinner and drink old wine at night. The place to eat was the old restaurant I used to go to seven years ago. When Shitou left in the early years, Brother Fei and I would go to that restaurant to eat and talk about this guy, as if he was lost in the sea of people. Like a precious little brother, worried.
But year after year, this guy seems to have completely disappeared from our lives. Brother Fei and I feel a little hurt by the scene, so we don't go there much.
The Guoqiao rice noodles in that store are very authentic. On weekends, you have to wait in a long line to eat a bowl of rice noodles. The boss is a short man with a mustache. He always has a cigarette in his ear. He is busy all day long. The predecessor was gone, and it was said that he had lung cancer. The business in the store once plummeted, and almost fell into the hands of others.
However, in the past two years, the owner's daughter has taken over, and the old shop has been repaired, and the taste of the noodle soup seems to have changed, probably because of the National People's Congress, and the delicacies of mountains and seas have been eaten more, and the taste buds have also become tricky. That taste.
Perhaps the problem is not the taste of the noodle soup, but the absence of the scene where the three sat around a table, lowered their heads and slurped the soup at the same time, and at the same time were scalded to blister their tongues and fan their mouths vigorously, as if people who did not want to grow up were forced to He admitted that he was getting old, so he lost the mood to taste delicious food.
Fortunately, the stone has finally returned, and we can finally sit around a table with three of us again.
I had almost no communication with Jiang Li that day. I slept soundly all day long. A few times when he deliberately passed by me, I treated him as if he was invisible. Neck is so sore.
But Dongzi seemed to be up to no good, he stalked Jiang Li to ask questions, he was good at basketball, and the two of them played basketball in the last activity class until they came back dripping with sweat, talking and laughing, I felt relieved.
I stretched my neck eagerly waiting for the end of class. Jiang Li was sweating and holding a ball as he walked out the window, just in time to meet my gaze. An eighteen-year-old boy, talking and laughing lightly, but his indifferent eyes glanced at me like a knife. As sharp as his eyes, his eyes are as black as a deep pool, and his focused eyes are charming enough to make every eighteen-year-old girl's heart beat.
Unfortunately, I am already twenty-four years old.
When I was 18 years old, I also had such a dream. I looked at the handsome young man through the window, and my heart was full of joy. The second encounter was enough to give me a lot of aftertaste.
I am getting old, and I will never lose my mind because of the eyes of a young man, so after meeting Jiang Li's eyes, I lowered my head leisurely and played with my mobile phone with my chin propped up.
I sent a text message to Kang Zixian: I met an old friend I haven't seen for many years, and I will be back later.
When I sent this text message, I hesitated again and again. I always felt that the way I got along with him was weird. Two men and women who were strangers suddenly lived at home like rockets into the sky, and they had to report to each other when they came back late. Prepare, it's just weird.
I just wanted to delete this text message, but my hand lost control and sent the text message.
I was annoyed at the text message for a while, and he replied: no alcohol (don't drink).
I held my mobile phone and stared at the screen for a long time, feeling weird in my heart. After breaking up with Fu Chen, I returned to being alone and free, and I can't control my life. According to Brother Fei and his mother, I and Brother Fei is a wild monkey in the jungle, whether he is standing or sitting, he will be shot flat on the grass by a hunter sooner or later.
My mouth is dry, I don't know if Brother Fei has met a hunter, anyway, I think I'm being targeted by a hunter.
I was not in the mood to reply to Kang Zixian, because the electric bell rang loudly after school, and the day of doing nothing was finally over.
I grabbed my bag and was the first to rush out of the classroom. Although sometimes I felt that my legs and feet were not as good as before, but the moment I left the campus, I regained the rebellious feeling of the past.
Back then, Brother Fei and I were very bored. We were so bored that we would race to see who would rush to the school gate first. Brother Fei had long legs and developed motor nerves. I would always lose to her. The door grinned at me with a smirk, looking like a silly big sister.
Shi Shi had been waiting for me in the restaurant for a long time. When I arrived, he was sitting restrainedly by the window where we loved to sit at that time, looking around with complex excitement in his eyes.
It's like a childhood gift lost and found again, happy but cautious, for fear of losing it again.
I also understand this feeling.
I sat down, and Shi Shi looked at me timidly, with fixed eyes, and suddenly reached out to hold my hand, with a trembling tone in his voice, "Boss, am I not dreaming?"
The guy pointed to his face in a daze, and said eagerly, "Boss, you hit me and hit me, hit the point."
I was moved and funny in my heart, and I was really rude in my hand. I waved my hand and slapped him on the forehead, and used a fierce tone to hide my very surging mood, "You haven't been beaten for seven years, why are you still Didn't make any progress at all?... You deserve a beating, and you won't look for Brother Fei and me when you come back, you want to rebel, don't you?"
Shitou was so ashamed by me, he lowered his head humbly through the misty mist of soup in the noodle shop.
"Boss... I knew you were angry with me, I knew... I got you into the game back then, I'm sorry for you..."
"Don't mention the past. You are brother Fei and I. We are angry, but we are mad at you for being so stupid for a little bitch. Oh, don't mention it."
"..."
"Brother Fei and I know that you didn't come to us all these years, you must be angry with the slap that Brother Fei gave you, alas, who said that everyone was too young back then, you are so stupid, it's useless to shout at you, scold you You are useless, you can only do that, what do you think we can do? I have been called the boss for so long by you, and I can’t see you going astray like this... It’s not easy to be the boss... "
Stone's eyes were already red, and my voice was also choked up.
"Brother Fei and I grew up wearing crotch pants. At the age of fifteen, she was cut by the glass on the road and had ten stitches. She didn't say a word. She never cried. But when you left, she became so grown up and cried." I kept saying that you were angry with her and left. I slapped you, Brother Fei regretted it for seven years, Shitou!"
The rare sensation I saw finally made Shi Shi burst into tears. Shi Shi sniffed his nose and took off his black-rimmed glasses to wipe his tears. I looked at him carefully, and the scar on his forehead was already very faint, hard to see or even found. , but the traces are still there, silently telling about the glorious and manic years of that year.
Stone confessed his true feelings.
"Boss, I have never been angry with you, I have never been, I just feel sorry for you... I regret what I said to you so hard at that time, I regret it in my heart! I think you will never want to talk to me again …”
I roughly rubbed Shitou's curly hair, and said rather sentimentally, "...Silly Shitou, you have always been Brother Fei and me."
Stone stared at me blankly, nodded, and his eyes were red again.
Shitou and I talked about our lives over the past few years while drinking. Shitou said that he left in a hurry, and his father was determined not to let him contact us, and he had no face to write to us. When I got up the courage to contact us, I couldn't find me and Brother Fei.
He has traveled and studied in several countries over the years. After broadening his horizons, his state of mind is very different, and the relationship with his father tends to ease. His father is also getting older, so he decided to return to China. However, he does not want to inherit the family business for the time being, so he planned first. I took a relatively easy job as a high school teacher, and worked as a music DJ on the radio station in my spare time, and my life was fairly orderly.
It’s just that I’m still thinking about Feige and me. He’s not a person who pays attention to women’s volleyball. It’s just that once when he was abroad, his ex-girlfriend watched an international volleyball match. When he touched Ge Fei, his heart skipped a beat, and all the potato chips in his hand were scattered on the ground.
Seeing the figure of Boss Jiang whom he thought he would never see again for a long time, Shi Shi said that his mood at that time was indescribable in words, as if he saw Brother Fei and me at the same time, and the fate of the three of us intersected again.
Brother Fei is already an excellent volleyball player. Shitou is not sure if she still remembers him, so he has been very nervous, hesitating whether to go to the arena to block her in person.
In fact, you can't block it if you want to.
Stone went to watch Feige's game twice, once in London and once in Osaka. He was at home with a foot injury some time ago, and once flew to Osaka with a limp and crutches to watch Feige's live game.
Shitou said that he was off the court, watching the active and brave Feige on the court, feeling sad, happy and disappointed. Even when Feige won the game, Shitou shouted "Cheer up, boss!"
When he said the boss, he felt that time hadn't changed anything, and the bosses would always be the best.
Shitou and I were both drunk, and when we were toasting, I even called Brother Fei and asked her to go out and buy a few bottles of wine, so that we couldn't do without her when celebrating the reunion.
Brother Fei toasted with us on the phone, and the three of them drank happily. After drinking the beer, tears came out of their eyes.
The bottom of my heart is very happy.
Stone is not surprised that I can become a policeman.
He drunkenly patted me on the shoulder, "Boss, you have always been handsome, always..."
I laughed and toasted and drank nonsense with him.
I'm not a good drinker. Once I drink too much red wine, I get drunk. The stone is similar, but I can't help but pour it into my mouth. I also drink it.
I picked it up in a daze, with the last sliver of consciousness remaining, and there was a deep, resonant voice on the other end of the phone.
I know who it is, squinting my eyes and talking nonsense, "Hehehe...hehehe... I drank too much uncle, I want to go home, hehehe..."
I smirked at the phone.
"Where is it?" The voice on the other end of the phone was vaguely displeased.
I gave the address vaguely, and fell asleep on the table again.
The proprietress of the noodle shop obviously had a headache for customers like us who were so drunk that they were so drunk that they were so drunk that they hurriedly urged us to pay the bill and leave. I shook my hand and said, "Someone will come to pick us up, and we will pay when the time comes."
The proprietress gave us a helpless glance, frowned and walked away.
The stone on the opposite side has fallen asleep, and its hair is as messy as a chicken coop.
I also slept on my stomach, waiting for Kang Zixian to come, but fell asleep for a while, staring blankly, the phone in my pocket rang again, I fumbled for a long time before I fumbled it out, I was really drunk.
I answered the phone limply on my stomach, but there was no sound from the other end after a long time.
I was annoyed, and opened my mouth and yelled, "When are you coming?" I hiccupped, "Didn't you mean the XX noodle restaurant on Xinghua Road?" I hiccupped again, and I held my eyelids and finally explained vaguely , "Come here quickly, I'm going back to sleep."
I hung up the phone and fell asleep with Shitou like a dead pig.
