The relationship between Ke Ying and his son has dropped to freezing point.
They didn't fight, and they didn't need to. To quarrel is to blame one's own ideas, or even attack the other party.
"Don't do things that you will regret later because you are young and ignorant." Ke Ying said, "You are still young."
Bo Jian narrowed his eyes: "I haven't done anything that I regret."
"Bo Jian, don't use your temper to speak, let alone make decisions. You say now that you will marry Jiang Huai in the future," Ke Ying asked, "But will you still think so in a few years? Will Jiang Huai still think so? You How old is it?"
"Seventeen." Bo Jian asked with a light smile, "Do you think I'm young, so I'm not qualified and convincing to make future decisions for myself?"
Some people make promises for a very short period of time, and when they go back on their promises at the end of the year, they all blame the young and ignorant.
But some people will remember a sentence for a lifetime.
Teenagers are also different.
Ke Ying remained silent for a long time, and said, "You have to let me see that you have the ability to decide your own future."
"What is the ability to determine your own future," Bo Jian asked softly, "Is it good enough?"
New Year's Eve is approaching.
At the end of the Lunar New Year, the temperature rises warmly, the snow gradually melts, and patches of residential buildings reveal bare roofs and black roof tiles.
Ah Cai is at home every day, and Jiang Huai watches her every day either watching cartoons on TV, or watching cartoons in the room with the door closed, holding a tablet to watch cartoons. When he asks how the homework is progressing, he immediately pretends to be deaf and dumb.
But Jianghuai is not much better than her.
After nearly a week of vacation, Jianghuai will write a small half of the public welfare free bibliography issued by the Education Bureau: "Mathematics Winter Vacation Homework".
He has had very little contact with Bo Jian recently.
Because Bo Jian seems to be very busy recently. Since he came home, he has been running around all day long. Sometimes he is in class, and sometimes he seems to be preparing for some preliminaries. Two days ago, Jiang Huai got up early and sent a message to Bo Jian at four o'clock in the morning... I'm back.
Jiang Huai didn't know if Bo Jian also just woke up early, or if he didn't sleep at all last night.
One day before New Year's Eve, early in the morning, Bo Jian sent a message.
BJ: I'm going abroad for a week, today's plane °^°●
Jiang Huai always got up early, just around six o'clock. It was not yet daylight.
He stopped skateboarding and replied "?" to Bo Jian.
The real strong: Tomorrow is Chinese New Year, you go abroad today?
BJ: Hmm.
The Real Strong: Why? Your mother forced you to go
How can there be such a thing? Chinese New Year tomorrow, going abroad today, let Bo Jian spend Chinese New Year abroad alone?
BJ: No, it's my wish.
Jiang Huai was stunned.
BJ: But when I go abroad, things will be less, I can’t spend the Chinese New Year with you this year, you should come to me more often)ゞ
Jiang Huai stood there, neither moving nor turning back.
few minutes.
BJ: Just for a week, you are not allowed to secretly do things that don’t like me ° ^ °●
Jiang Huai paused his fingers for a long time.
The real powerhouse: Good.
Jianghuai's family has always been deserted during Chinese New Year, and there is no atmosphere of Chinese New Year. Among them, Jianghuai himself is 80% responsible, and the Jiang family's Chinese New Year people are less responsible for 20%.
Mr. Jiang works in a foreign company, and his career is on the rise, so he dare not ask for leave, so whether he comes back during the Spring Festival is a matter of fate.
Jiang Li will never forget the poorest days when she was in her twenties. Without money, even a good living environment cannot be afforded to children.
Every Spring Festival, Jiang Huai and Qin Yuhe are brothers in need.
Jianghuai's mother is not in the country, and Lao Qin is not in the country... It is equivalent to the seven aunts and eight aunts of the family, cousins, cousins, and biological parents who have all left the country.
In the early morning of New Year's Eve, Jianghuai WeChat received dozens of New Year's greeting text messages.
He has few friends on WeChat and contacts in his address book. Last year, he only received three or four messages, including Lao Qin, Wei Heping, Ni Li, and his mother.
But this year, Jianghuai has been included in the friend lists of many students who send New Year text messages in groups.
Mr. Jiang has been in frequent contact with Jiang Huai and Ah Cai since the past few days... Mainly Jiang Huai. How to prepare dumpling wrappers and dumpling stuffing, one meal in the afternoon and one meal in the evening, to have a decent new year, instead of ordering a few takeaways and rushing them down.
Jianghuai had already picked which takeaway restaurants to order, but Mr. Jiang forced him to run around the supermarket, dragged Ah Cai to clean the windows, sweep the floor, and put some red decorations on the house.
In the two days before Chinese New Year, the classes are also very active.
On the morning of New Year's Eve, Jiang Huai managed to spare a few hours, propped his head against the desk, and did his winter vacation math homework very inefficiently, when his phone vibrated.
It's Wei Heping.
Help me up Lang: Brother Huai, have you met the chairman recently
Jiang Huai lazily reached for the phone, and pressed a few words: "No, what's the matter?"
Help me up Lang: I heard someone from the Ministry of Education say that the chairman went abroad to participate in some youth financial summit, is it true or not
Jiang Huai frowned.
Help me get up: I heard that it will be very awesome. Many CEOs of large domestic and foreign companies will attend. It is worldwide. It seems that the top 2 universities in the self-enrollment list have directly lowered their scores. Hahahaha, but it seems so awesome to participate The students of the event don't have to go to recruit themselves... Did the chairman really go
The real strong man: I never asked, maybe, Bo Jian was on the plane the day before yesterday.
Help me up waves: nine out of ten it is true.
Help me up Lang: Hey, didn't the chairman mention it to you
It was JAC who never asked.
Because he didn't care what activities Bo Jian participated in. Most of these activities had similar purposes, making Bo Jian a "good student" worthy of his name. When others mention his excellence, he can talk endlessly.
But Jianghuai didn't care about these things, nor did he care whether Bo Jianyou was good or not.
He only cared about what Bo Jian was thinking.
He felt that Bo Jian was tired and wanted to make Bo Jian feel better.
He is a man who gets his way.
The real strong: never cared.
Help me up Lang:? ? what does this mean
While flipping through the strange New Year greeting messages sent to him by others, "Cut a paper window grille, cut away the sadness: hold snowflakes in one hand, hold the sweetness", and casually replied: "It's boring, not interested, doesn't care, doesn't ask Pass."
Wei Heping waited for a long time and didn't care about Silian: "??"
Some time ago I was still "not in touch", but today I just "don't care"?
After a year, the CP he stands on will be BE?
Wei Heping is determined not to allow such a tragedy to happen.
He opened the Omega group chat "Happy Qitian" in No. 2 Middle School, and switched to speaking anonymously:
"Sisters, I seem to have discovered that my best friend is cheating, but they are a good match. How can I test it out to find out whether my best friend doesn't like his boyfriend or has moved on? QAQ"
"Happy Qitian" has always been a three-minute group news 99+.
Immediately, a group of messages swiped over.
One of them said: "Soldiers never tire of cheating, go and cheat him."
Jiang Huai threw away the pen and fell back on the bed.
He held up the phone and slid his finger down to "BJ".
Today is New Year's Eve, last night after eleven o'clock, "BJ" sent a "good night" as usual. But there was a time difference of thirteen hours between him and Bo Jian. When he was about to go to bed, it was daytime at Bo Jian's place. He woke up, and now Bo Jian was in the middle of the night again.
In fact, it wasn't long...but he wanted to see Bo Jian.
Touch him, touch him.
Jiang Huai looked at it for a while.
The real strong man: Are you asleep
If Bo Jian fell asleep, he would send the New Year's greeting message "Cut a paper window grille, cut away the sadness: hold snowflakes in one hand, hold the sweetness" to Chairman Bo in groups. A mature boyfriend should learn to ask for warmth.
But unexpectedly, almost immediately.
BJ: Not yet.
Jiang Huai paused, the New Year greeting message stuck in the sending column, and the sending failed.
The Real Strong: Ready for bed
BJ: Neither.
Jiang Huai turned over.
Real powerhouses: So what are you doing now
For some reason, Bo Jian returned much slower than usual.
BJ: Just after taking a shower, is it convenient to turn on the voice
A voice invitation is sent.
JAC is connected.
But the phone was quiet, and Bo Jian didn't speak.
Jiang Huai was also quiet for a while, and said: "Can you hear me?"
Maybe it's because the phone's voice is distorted, and Bo Jian's voice is very low: "I can hear you."
Jiang Huai looked at the black phone screen where he could only see the reflection of his own face, and frowned calmly: "Is it convenient for you to video now?"
Bo Jian seemed to laugh, his voice trembling, a little hoarse: "It's convenient for me at any time... I don't have anything I can't show you, I just think you won't be willing."
Jiang Huai didn't hear the deep meaning: "What do you mean?"
"Nothing interesting," Bo Jian's speech slowed down, occasionally pausing slightly, "Recently... have you thought about me?"
Jiang Huai paused for a few seconds, and said truthfully, "Thought about it."
Bo Jian's breathing became heavy: "What do you think?"
It may be because the voice is not a video, Bo Jian couldn't see his face, or it may be because he hasn't seen Bo Jian for a long time, Jiang Huai's brain became hot, and he told the truth: "I want to touch you."
Bo Jian hissed lightly and took a slight breath.
Jianghuai is not an idiot.
He sat up abruptly: "My day... Bo Jian, what the hell are you doing?"
Bo Jian didn't answer, but smiled lowly and said, "Continue talking."
Jianghuai: "?"
Through the slightly hoarse electrical sound, he seemed to feel the tremor in Bo Jian's chest when he laughed: "How do you want to touch me?"
Jianghuai's "touching" refers to the love behavior of elementary school students such as hugging and holding hands. But it's obvious that Bo Jian is doing something asshole that elementary school students can't do well.
Bo Jian leaned against the hotel bed. He was only wearing a bathrobe, and he hadn't had time to wear anything else under the bathrobe.
He untied the front belt that was a little in the way, and said softly, "Tell me about it."
…
Jiang Huai turned over and got out of bed with a loss of expression, and threw all the paper balls into the trash can.
He glanced at the digital watch... It was past eleven o'clock the fuck.
The voice is still on. Jiang Huai opened the closet, randomly took out a T-shirt and replaced the one on his body, and asked without emotion: "Have you enjoyed it?"
Chairman Bo sounded in a good mood: "Yes."
"Fuck." Jiang Huai couldn't hold back.
"I'll go back after the next year, but when I return to China, I may have to be busy for a while," Bo Jian said slowly, "By the time school starts, everything will be arranged."
"Oh."
Bo Jian: "But when you're previewing your homework, you can always ask me if you don't know anything."
Jiang Huai paused while changing clothes. Chairman Bo didn't say anything...he forgot that he still had a lot of homework to finish. He also previewed his homework. His holiday homework last semester was not even close to finishing his horoscope.
"Have you finished your homework?" he asked.
"It's finished." Bo Jian replied.
Jianghuai: "??"
"Fuck," Jiang Huai asked, "When the fuck did you finish writing it??"
It's less than ten days since the holiday, and Bo Jian has been busy, even paddling at his house for two days... When did this bitch finish his homework
Bo Jian: "I did it in the half month before the final exam."
Jianghuai: "???"
This forced him to go to the Education Bureau to get homework in advance?
Not to mention where he got the homework from, when no one else is reviewing the final exam day and night, this dog has already started doing winter vacation homework?
Chairman Bo seemed to be afraid that Jianghuai would not understand, so he added a few words reservedly: "The privilege of the city."
Jianghuai: "...?"
Bo Jian can't speak human words all day long
Bo Jian chuckled softly, "Originally, I wanted to get a copy for you too, but seeing that you worked so hard on the final review, I didn't add pressure to you."
JAC: "..."
He rolled up the changed pants and T-shirt expressionlessly: "Bo Jian, be careful in your words and deeds."
Bo Jian smiled. He suddenly said: "When you go out to parkour next spring, can you call me?"
Bo Jian suddenly mentioned parkour, Jiang Huai frowned: "You want to come with me?"
"Um."
"You are not familiar with it," Jiang Huai said. "The first two routes were quite simple, but this is still quite dangerous. I don't recommend you and me... Why do you suddenly think of parkour?"
"I like that feeling." Bo Jian said.
Weightless, slightly out of control. Like being out of bondage.
Jianghuai snorted lightly: "I like excitement, so I suggest going to a children's amusement park to play roller coasters." Exciting and safe, it is the best choice for novices in extreme sports.
"I'm going to ride the roller coaster," Bo Jian asked, "Then will you go with me?"
Jianghuai: "... no."
Bo Jian seemed to snort softly from his nasal cavity: "That's it, you won't accompany me."
JAC: "..."
Bo Jian stood up, fastened the front lace unhurriedly, and tidied up the corners of the sleeves. He didn't look soft like a baby, that's why Jiang Huai always felt that Chairman Bo's online malicious cuteness was just pretending.
"I'm not that weak." Bo Jian said with a light smile, "But since you don't accompany your boyfriend to ride the roller coaster in the amusement park, and you're afraid that your boyfriend will make a parkour slip and fall to his death...then wait until spring, let your boyfriend It’s okay for friends to see how you parkour, right?”
Jiang Huai frowned: "Have you fallen in love with parkour?"
"Not really." Bo Jian replied.
I just felt a little bit of freedom that couldn't be grasped.
Part of his love for Jiang Huai began when Jiang Huai jumped over the high gate and landed on a rusted railing.
like a bird in the wind.
Then he thought, he's going to catch the bird.
He likes JAC.
Everywhere suits him, and he likes it all. He likes it very much.
He sighed softly and said, "It's just that I'm a little tired recently." He asked back again: "What about you? Do you like it?"
Jiang Huai was silent for a while: "I like it."
"why do you like it?"
Jiang Huai frowned, lowered his voice, and tried to organize his words so that his reasons didn't sound like a naive primary school student in the second grade: "I like... the feeling of jumping over obstacles directly. I don't like detours. "
I don't like to find a way out in a tortuous way.
If only everything in the world could be turned over directly.
Bo Jian sighed, but laughed again: "When the snow melts in spring, remember to call me when you do parkour, I want to see you."
Jiang Huai's Adam's apple rolled.
He glanced out the window. At noon, the sun is bright... In fact, the snow has already melted.
"Okay." He replied.
Wei Heping was surfing the group, listening to the advice of the sisters in the group "How to cheat out of a girlfriend and whether she has cheated on someone", the note on the top "Jiang Huai" suddenly sent a WeChat message:
"Does the school drone club have tiny cameras and wireless live broadcast equipment?"
There is one more:
"If not, is the Digital City across the street from your house still open today?"
Wei Heping was taken aback, almost thinking that something was wrong.
But after reading it carefully, he calmed down again: "Wait, I'll ask you. Why do you want to borrow their equipment?"
New Year's Eve, New Year's Eve.
Jianghuai and Ah Cai's year. The TV was turned on at home, and the sound was loud. Ah Cai was communicating with Mr. Jiang. This year Mr. Jiang will not return to China, but before midnight, the video will be through.
Jiang Huai didn't talk much, so he threw the mobile phone to Ah Cai, who was happy to talk to his mother more.
Fireworks and firecrackers are not allowed in the urban area, the night is quiet, and the cold wind makes a sharp whistle that almost whistles.
Long nights and short days in winter.
At half past four, the night was still dark.
The alarm clock rang, and Jiang Huai got out of bed.
The house is quiet, Ah Cai is still sleeping soundly, "Squeak", the door is closed.
Jiang Huai took the equipment and went downstairs, and called a taxi. There are not many taxis at this point, and it was nearly half past five when Jianghuai arrived in the old city, but the eastern skyline was only a little blue.
But as long as the dawn breaks, the sunrise is not far away.
The time for the demolition of the old city has been set at the end of the new year, and the old residents have not yet moved out. The bright red and green flowered clothes are still hanging on the long clothes poles protruding from the buildings, almost freezing in the winter.
In the afternoon after thirteen time zones, Bo Jian received a WeChat message.
"Is the computer at hand? You download the software and have a video call with you."
"Yes, what's wrong?" Bo Jian asked.
After a long time, Bo Jian couldn't see what Jiang Huai was doing.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Huai replied:
"Don't you want to watch me parkour?"
It's not yet sunrise in China, so Bo Jian doesn't know how Jiang Huai will broadcast Parkour live for him at this time.
After a slightly longer network delay, Bo Jian saw Jianghuai's first-person perspective.
on his chest.
Jiang Huai leaned against the stairs, his voice was hoarse due to distortion: "Did you see it?"
Bo Jian's Adam's apple moved slightly, staring at the computer screen: "I see."
Jiang Huai seemed to laugh, then turned his hand and fell down the handrail of the stairs.
The sky was dark, and when the camera was turned around, it was dark in the building, except for a light on the side of the camera, which was faintly on. Like the only light in the dark night.
But Jianghuai slid through the old buildings layer by layer, and the corridor lights of the old building's sensors malfunctioned and turned on layer by layer, illuminating the dirty walls and rough stairs in the corridor.
Like a 3D game.
Somersault, leap, high jump, buffer.
Jiang Huai is familiar with these old buildings as if he is familiar with his left and right hands. He knows where there is an escape ladder, where to enter the rooftop, and the distance between this building and that building... all of these are measured by himself.
He has lived here for ten years.
Jiang Li will never come back here to take a look in this life, but he is different.
He doesn't miss this place, but he doesn't hate it either. He grew up here.
Bo Jian's throat felt dry. From the third perspective, it is one thing to climb over the floors with Jiang Huai behind him, but it is another thing to see how Jiang Huai climbed over all the "obstacles" in front of him from the first perspective.
There are several stories of tall buildings under his feet. If you step into the air, you will either die or be injured.
But Jianghuai is so familiar that he seems to have walked this road thousands of times, and even knows the height of the clothes drying pole on the roof by heart.
Stealthy, dangerous thrills.
The camera shakes slightly, but the equipment is very good, the picture quality is clear, JAC moves steadily, and all the scenes are fed back to this video.
He never thought that Jianghuai would realize the next spring agreement he mentioned yesterday the next day.
The faintly bright blue in the sky blooms, overwhelmed by the deep purple, orange, red and yellow, multicolored rays.
Daylight gradually appeared.
Jiang Huai's breathing sound was very deep.
Bo Jian saw his coat pressed against his waist and abdomen by the wind, jumping across the stairs, his palms rubbing against the rough concrete floor, his cold white fingertips turned red at sunrise.
It's a straight road with no bends.
If there is a railing in front, climb over the railing, if there is a wall in front, climb over the wall, if there is a building in front of you, climb up the stairs, climb up to the roof, if there is another building in front of you, then jump over it.
Bo Jian is at the venue.
He is sitting in the rest area, the ceiling of the venue is soaring, behind him is a tall, cultivated to almost completely transparent floor-to-ceiling window, and the green grass outside extends.
North American winters have short days and long nights.
The sun was setting behind him, and after thirteen time zones, Jianghuai was at sunrise.
Like the sunlight that diffused from behind him, it went behind Jianghuai.
Jiang Huai rolled to his feet, and threw the ashes off his body. He slightly supported the recording microphone, took off the miniature camera, and sat on the edge of the roof.
Bo Jian saw the whole picture of the sunrise.
very beautiful.
There was gradually noise downstairs, and at sunrise, the old town came alive again.
Jiang Huai leaned back and put his hands on the concrete floor. He didn't think it was dirty. "Dawn," he said, "Happy New Year."
Bo gradually became quiet.
After a long time, he chuckled softly, "Happy New Year, Jianghuai."
Jiang Huai looked at the sky quietly.
Bo Jian looked at Jiang Huai quietly.
Suddenly, Jianghuai's cell phone rang.
Caught off guard by the phone ringing, Jiang Huai was taken aback... Generally, no one would call him so early.
He saw that the caller was "Wei Heping", although it was a bit disturbing, Jiang Huai still answered it.
Jianghuai's recording mic was next to his face, and Bo Jian could clearly hear Wei Heping's voice coming from Jianghuai's mobile phone microphone: "Brother Huai, I saw you walking hand in hand with an Omega on the side of the street two days ago... that person is who?"
The author has something to say: Chairman: ? ? How many days am I going abroad
