After Xiangyang got up, he saw a chubby little boy playing with a car in the yard.
He pulled a chair and sat upside down, holding the backrest with both hands and swaying like a wooden horse.
Jin Ming took an old red car and slid around on the concrete floor, dubbing "Didi, Didi" in his mouth, "I'm coming over" and had a great time playing by himself.
It was rare for Xiang Yang to watch it with gusto. Jin Xiu was not at home, so he sat silently and watched the little brats entertaining himself.
Jin Ming was tired from playing, so he stood up and turned around, and suddenly saw a tall man sitting there looking at him. He was startled at first, patted his chest to pretend to be calm, and then walked away pretending that he didn't see anyone.
Seeing the child's awkward appearance, Xiang Yang continued to shake the chair and called out, "Hey, kid."
Not to be outdone, Jin Ming said, "Hey, lame."
Xiangyang: "..."
Hey~ This brat.
"May I have your name?"
Jin Ming turned his face away, and said angrily, "I don't want to talk to you, Axiu was beaten because of you."
Ah Xiu? It sounded pretty good.
Xiang Yang stopped shaking the chair, walked up to him and squatted down, looked into his eyes and asked, "Then will you protect Axiu?"
Jin Ming straightened his stomach: "Of course."
Xiang Yang patted him on the shoulder and said, "If you are a man, you must do what you say."
Jin Ming looked proud: "Of course I will."
Xiang Yang held Jin Ming's little hand: "Then let's protect Axiu together?"
Master Jin Ming also shook back: "Okay."
When Jinxiu came home, he saw two heads, one big and one small, next to each other, and he didn't know what he was doing.
Li Meili took a look, sneered and walked away.
Jin Gang wanted to help someone build a house, so he didn't go home.
Jinxiu didn't care about Li Meili's attitude, she walked behind them and stretched her head to see what they were doing.
Unexpectedly, the two of them were tinkering with Jinming's toys together, and Jinxiu stood there for a long time without anyone noticing her.
Jinxiu couldn't help but finally asked, "What are you doing?"
Jinming looked up and saw Jinxiu, and grinned, "Axiu, Brother Xiangyang is so amazing, he can make my toy car walk by itself."
Yes, he is so powerful, his whole body is shining. Gentle, humorous, omnipotent.
Jinxiu glanced at Xiangyang, the big boy's phoenix eyes darted at her, and the corners of his mouth slightly curved upwards.
Jinxiu couldn't help feeling a little hot, her ears were reddish, she said: "Eat dumplings tonight, wash your hands later." Then she walked away with a little messy footsteps.
For some reason, every time she looks at Xiang Yang, she feels that she has experienced a ransack. Her heartbeat would involuntarily speed up, her chest would feel a little stuffy, as if her breathing was about to slow down, and she felt restless.
Occasionally at night, I would dream of Xiangyang. He was walking in front, and suddenly turned his head and stretched out his hand to her: "Come here, Axiu, Axiu,,," the voice was gentle and tender, echoing in my ears all the time,,,
Things that obviously haven't happened, but I often get used to dreaming that he took her hand and ran forward, kept running, and then they jumped, spun together, and laughed together.
After dinner, they took their books and went to study in the yard, because Li Meili said that it was not good for a man and a widow to stay in the same room, and if they let the neighbors know, they would be stabbed in the back.
So I took a small table, brought two high chairs, and turned on the street lamps to create a warm atmosphere under the moonlight.
Jin Ming saw that they were reading, so he took out the book and read it decently.
Jinxiu finds out that Jinming actually likes Xiangyang.
She has been stuck to him all day long, and she has to sit next to Xiang Yang at dinner, not twisting and turning like usual, picking and choosing what to eat and what to eat. As if deliberately trying to behave well, let Xiang Yang see his active eating side.
Now I have to follow the book, and I will ask Xiang Yang for a question or two.
This person has such magical powers, as long as he thinks, he will make you approach him unknowingly and be influenced by him.
Later, it was too late, Li Meili asked Jinming to go to sleep in the room, but he still refused. Crying and fussing that I can't leave, I haven't finished my homework yet. It was Xiang Yang who promised again and again that he would play with him tomorrow, and then reluctantly left.
After Jin Ming left, they were the only ones left.
It was past eleven o'clock in the evening, and the village was quiet, except for the occasional barking of a dog. There are only a few houses with light from the windows, shining with the moon in the sky.
When Jinxiu writes physics papers, if she encounters a question that she really can't understand, she asks Xiang Yang, and Xiang Yang just gives her a direction of thinking, and doesn't directly tell her what the answer is.
Xiang Yang took the novel by himself and flipped through it casually, not knowing whether it was because he read the book faster or he didn't care about the novel at all.
The surroundings are quiet and peaceful, which makes the heart settle down and calm down a lot.
Prepare the test papers and Xiang Yang will help to check them.
His voice was pure and sweet, coming slowly, like a clear spring in a mountain stream, gurgling and flowing in her ears.
In the ear, in the heart, lingering around.
Jinxiu rested her chin and looked at him with adoring eyes. The moonlight shone on him, as if she had been covered with a layer of soft light. Without his fierceness during the day, he under the moonlit night is even more intimate.
Seeing him stop, she lowered her head and glanced at herself, Jin Xiu came back to her senses, hurriedly lowered her head, and said softly.
Xiang Yang gave her a helpless look, didn't say anything, and continued to explain the topic.
After the explanation, Xiang Yang asked two more questions. Seeing that she really understood, he didn't talk about the topic again.
He looked around the village and turned off the lights, and asked Jinxiu in a low voice, "Shall we go to watch the moon?"
Jinxiu's eyes were full of light, as if there were twinkling stars hidden.
She nodded, her voice was joyful, and there was also some expectation: "Okay!"
Because Xiangyang's feet are just right, it is not suitable for walking far, and in the end they only went to the roof of the building.
Jinxiu fried some peanuts and brought some dried fish with her.
They didn't speak, but they didn't feel embarrassed, and they actually showed a little warmth to the clear and cold moon.
It was also a sudden interest to watch the moon, and the two chatted casually. From all kinds of embarrassing things in childhood to all kinds of rewards after studying, from family situation to school friends, what comes to mind can be said.
Xiangyang tells Jinxiu what the outside world looks like, and Jinxiu tells the children in Xiangyang Mountain that they have to get up before dawn every day, and then walk a long mountain road to school.
Jinxiu knew that Xiangyang's parents divorced very early, and he had always lived with his mother, and he didn't even know who his father was since he was a child.
Xiangyang also knows that Jinxiu is a child adopted by Jin's family. She has always wanted to perform well to win her parents' love, but she has always been rejected by her parents.
Xiang Yang folded his hands behind his head and lay directly on the roof: "Do you hate your biological parents?"
Jinxiu shook her head: "I don't hate it."
After thinking for a while, he continued: "They gave me life and brought me into this world. Although my life after birth has nothing to do with them, it allowed me to meet many people, Xiao Ming, Mr. Gao , Teacher Liu." And you.
Xiang Yang turned his head and glanced at her, without saying a word, he looked up at the starry sky again.
The night is very good tonight, the moon is not very bright, but it is really like a cradle, the whole sky is dark blue.
The stars are scattered in the sky, making the moon more bright and beautiful. The breeze is blowing, and bathing under the starry sky really has the illusion of sleeping peacefully in a cradle.
Xiang Yang closed his eyes and thought, it would be better to play a lullaby at this time. Without the hustle and bustle of the city, without the red, green and green neon lights, this starry sky is pure and peaceful. Even the next seven years are unforgettable.
Jinxiu saw that Xiang Yang was silent, and found that his eyes were closed, as if he was asleep.
Jinxiu asked him gently: "Are you tired? Do you want to go back?"
Xiang Yang still kept his eyes closed and did not answer.
Jinxiu took the small dried fish and chewed it in small bites, suddenly feeling a little embarrassed and at a loss.
She was afraid that Xiangyang would catch a cold if he fell asleep directly and was drenched in dew, and she was also afraid that it would be too hot for him to lie on the roof after being exposed to the sun all day.
Xiang Yang opened his eyes and looked at Jinxiu's aggrieved little face, and laughed: "Axiu, is there any place you want to go?"
Jinxiu was startled suddenly, I don't know if it was because of his sudden voice or because of his "Axiu".
"I haven't thought about it." She paused and replied.
She really didn't think about it, she couldn't imagine what the outside world looked like, and she didn't know what kind of people would live outside.
Xiang Yang opened his eyes and looked at Jin Xiu, she looked even more gentle under the moonlight.
She sat on the floor with her feet together and bent forward, her hands crossed on her knees. The corners of her mouth are curved upwards, and her entire face is relaxed, as if she is in a good mood now.
Even when he was not talking, he had a sweet smile on his face.
"How about going to Lin City in the future?"
Xiang Yang spoke out his heart out of nowhere.
He was conflicted in his heart, he wanted Jinxiu to go to Lin City, but he was afraid that she would go to Lin City.
He thought for a long time, he wanted Jinxiu to go to Lin City, and when the time was right, he would tell her what was in his heart. He wants to be with her forever.
However, he didn't know when they could be together, or when it was suitable for them to be together. He was afraid that she would wait too long, and he was afraid that if he didn't say anything, there would be no chance in the future.
Jinxiu didn't hesitate for a second, she showed her dimples and nodded slightly, "Okay."
Didn't ask why, I trusted him completely.
But since he had already said it, Xiang Yang didn't regret it, nor did he want Jin Xiu to regret it.
I hope you can always keep your innocence and kindness. I hope you are happy and can always do what you want to do.
It doesn't have to be great, you don't need to look at other people's high or unhappy, and you don't need to bear such heavy responsibilities.
Jinxiu bit her lip, and after thinking for a long time, she still asked, "Are you leaving?" with a hint of sadness and a little temptation.
Look, you are still so timid. I dared to agree to go to Lin City, but I didn't dare to ask "Can you stay?"
One sentence brought the situation of the two of them back to reality, Xiang Yang's chest was choked, and his voice was hoarse: "Not yet."
Jinxiu didn't speak.
She knew that they would be strangers after all, and maybe they would never meet again in the future. Maybe when we meet again, we will smile and say hello, "Hi!" Like a long-lost friend, but there will not be too much intersection.
They have known each other for more than a month, but they rarely communicate like tonight. Jinxiu still wants to ask, but there are some things that cannot be said or asked, and once said, they are nothing.
As if angry with herself, Jinxiu simply didn't say anything.
"I'll be here for a while."
Jin Xiu raised her head in surprise, she looked at Xiang Yang: "Is it because of me?"
Xiang Yang shook his head, "I have other things to settle." There are some things that cannot be said, and it is not suitable to say them at this time.
Jinxiu glanced at Xiang Yang again before continuing to lower her head.
She buried her face in her knees, her voice was not clear: "I'm already very happy when you say that, you still have to study, I don't want to delay you because of me."
Xiang Yang really wanted to rub her hair, why did she look so obedient.
He slightly raised the corner of his mouth, "I dropped out of school, not because of you."
Jinxiu raised her head: "You..."
Xiang Yang said: "I'm young and thinking about things, I'm fine, you won't delay me."
Jinxiu opened and closed her mouth.
Xiang Yang flicked her forehead lightly: "Fool."
