Although he has no love experience at all, he has at least seen pigs running without eating pork. Lai Yi never restricts the communication between students, so Jiang Shen has seen various ways of getting along with young couples, from Lala From small hands to kisses to small mouths, it is Bai Jinyi, who grew up among rough men, not to mention his experience in dating, his concept of love has only been formed in Jiang Shen since he was a child. .

The two of them can't show much intimacy in the village, of course, the most important thing is that they don't have that chance.

Gou Mao deliberately asked Chen Laoshi for leave just to play with Jiang Shen, Qing Lingzi had to go to school, so he was not so lucky, Shen Shubao made up for it, and came to Jiang's house before noon, and had lunch with Bai Jin Eat them together.

Local eggs, native chicken, native duck, and fresh river shrimp and crucian carp. Although Bai Jinyi eats a lot, he still has to control his weight. Shen Shubao couldn't help but sigh when he saw it: "You all have worked hard as athletes."

Jiang Shen: "It's good to get used to it, Bai Jinyi is fine, I get fat easily."

Shen Shubao smiled: "You don't get fat so easily, you're so thin."

The three of them finished their meal and went out to look for Gou Mao. It was the last wave of hairy crabs recently, and the adults were all busy in the fish pond. Shen Shubao suggested to take Bai Jin to have a look. By the way, he could eat the freshest hairy crabs.

Gou Mao took the fishing net and asked them, "Do you want to go into the water?"

As soon as Bai Jin didn't understand, he frowned: "What's the water?"

Jiang Shen explained: "Just go down to the fish pond, some are very shallow, you can just go down and fish." He thought for a while, and then said, "Song Xin went down to fish for crayfish before, and I took a picture for you to see."

As soon as Bai Jin remembered the photo of a group of lunatics rolling in the mud, his face became gloomy. His idol burden was heavier than obsessive-compulsive disorder. It would be better to kill him if he was embarrassed in front of Jiang Shen.

"It's quite fun, you put on the protective pants, and you can play casually when you go down." Shen Shubao encouraged him, "Don't worry, I and Gou Mao are both here."

Bai Jinyi was still hesitant, he glanced at Jiang Shen again, and reconfirmed: "You really won't make it dirty?"

Jiang Shen comforted him firmly: "You are the most handsome guy in the world even if you are dirty."

As soon as Bai Jin put on the suspender-style waterproof pants and a hat, he was tall and strong, but this way he looked even stronger. Jiang Shen wanted to take a picture of him, but Bai Jin had a stinky face.

"Smile." Jiang Shen said, "It's pretty nice."

Bai Jin put the long pole net bag on the ground, and said forcefully: "Nonsense."

Jiang Shen: "Really, you look good in my eyes."

He smiled and added: "You are the most handsome when you are in the boxing ring."

"I'm not handsome when I'm beaten." Bai Jin held the pole in his hand, "Every time you get hurt somewhere, you look like you're about to cry."

Jiang Shen sighed: "That's because I love you."

Bai Jin raised his eyebrows: "You love me, and I'm very happy."

Gou Mao and Shu Bao are far away, and they don't know what they are talking about. Unlike Bai Jinyi, the native rural baby Xiatang is not so delicate, so the two rolled up their trousers and put on rain boots.

"Go down." Gou Mao yelled from the bank, he and Shen Shubao slid down the pond with their feet forward and backward, and with a long pole, a few crabs came up.

Bai Jinyi is dressed like this, and he can't retreat temporarily, he said with a stiff face: "Help me down."

Jiang Shen was about to die of laughter, he grabbed Bai Jinyi's hand, and muttered softly: "You are like a big girl getting on a sedan chair."

Bai Jin glared at him, but he held onto his hand tightly. Jiang Shen stretched out his arms and carefully sent him down. Bai Jinyi finally stood firmly in the pond.

"Fill whatever you want." The dog hair was swinging the long pole net like muddy water, he suddenly raised the net with a "wow", splashing muddy water in the pond, Bai Jin closed his eyes subconsciously.

Five or six hairy crabs crawled in the net bag with their teeth and claws open, only one or two centimeters away from Bai Jinyi's face.

Bai Jinyi: "..."

Gou Mao excitedly said: "All these are for you to eat!"

Shen Shubao was the one who worked the hardest and talked the least. He caught one net after another. Bai Jinyi was dressed in a heavy bag and was not that skilled. He only had seven or eight poles after fishing for more than a dozen poles. They have to tie a knot on the crab legs before putting them into the straw bag.

After Qing Lingzi came back in the evening, several people took over their work, and Gou Mao took his two straw crabs to show off to his sister: "It's enough for you to eat tonight."

Qing Lingzi said coquettishly, "Take it apart for me."

Gou Mao patted his chest: "No problem, I'll give you everything after my brother dismantles it."

Shen Shubao had the most crabs, so he decided to bring them to Jiang's house to cook them together, and when a big pot came out, Bai Jin carefully picked them for a long time.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Shen watched as he picked out the crabs with straw ropes on their legs.

Bai Jinyi: "These are for you."

Jiang Shen laughed: "Aren't they all the same?"

"Of course it's different." Bai Jinyi said, "I caught this." He deliberately emphasized the three words "I caught it", raised his chin towards Jiang Shen, and ordered, "Eat."

Jiang Shen: "..."

Fortunately, he doesn’t particularly like crabs, seven or eight are enough. After all, Bai Jinyi is a novice, and the crabs he catches don’t know how to look at the male and female crabs. In late October, the yellow of the female crab is not plump enough, and the fat of the male crab But it's not bad, Jiang Shen took the crab apart, dipped it in vinegar and ginger, and tasted it slowly by himself.

Bai Jin looked back at him several times, and finally couldn't help asking: "Is it delicious?"

Jiang Shenxian squinted his eyes, and the corners of his mouth were still stained with a little ointment: "Of course it's delicious." He said as he took out a few crab legs, mixed them with ginger vinegar, and put them into his mouth.

Bai Jinyi's mood seemed to get better at last. He didn't smile, but his eyes were soft. As soon as Bai Jinyi stretched out his hand, his thumb touched the corner of Jiang Shen's mouth.

Jiang Shen: "?"

Bai Jin licked the crab roe on his fingertips with a natural movement, and said lightly: "It's stained."

Jiang Shen blushed a little, he wiped his mouth again, and let out a dull "oh".

Qing Lingzi raised her head and saw this scene, she was stunned for a while, she glanced at Bai Jinyi, then looked at Jiang Shen, she seemed to frowned in confusion, before thinking deeply, Gou Mao disassembled a bowl The crab was handed to her.

"Eat it." Chen Maoxiu went to peel off another one, thinking, "Bai Erdai, forget about Shen Zi, eat it yourself."

As soon as Bai Jin turned his head, he was about to take one for himself, but Shen Shubao had already pushed the disassembled one to him.

"Let's take it apart." Shen Shubao said gently, "Just eat it."

The younger brothers and sisters can't eat crabs faster than the two brothers. Shen Shubao is simply a model worker, a machine in the world, and the sharp ends of the big pliers can be completely removed.

"The technology of a man of science and technology." Gou Mao complained, "He probably stayed on the machine tool for a long time."

Qing Lingzi was quite envious: "Brother Shubao will be very happy if he has a girlfriend in the future."

Chen Maoxiu: "Where is happiness... Can you tear apart a crab leg and give it to her?"

"That's right." Qing Lingzi nodded as a matter of course, "It's so romantic to tear apart crab legs for your sweetheart."

Shen Shubao adjusted his glasses, and he finished dismantling another set, smiling a bit cunningly: "It's not so easy for others to eat my crab legs, but you can eat them."

After he finished speaking, he went to look at Jiang Shen again: "If it's really romantic, Shenzi will be the most romantic if he has someone he likes."

Jiang Shen raised his head slowly, for some reason he suddenly mentioned himself, and let out an inexplicable "ah".

Shen Shubao: "Our science and engineering man will make some gadgets for whoever he likes. If Shenzi likes whoever he likes, he will definitely dance for him. That's much more beautiful than us ordinary people."

"What about the second generation Bai?" Qing Lingzi asked Bai Jinyi suddenly, she asked curiously. "How do you show who you like? Take her to watch you fight?"

"You can watch me punch anytime you want." Bai Jinyi said lightly, he thought for a while, and then said, "Besides, punching is nothing to look at. It's not as good as dancing. If you get hit, you'll get hurt."

Bai Jinyi glanced across Jiang Shen, and muttered: "He will cry when he sees it."

Jiang Shen buried his head in eating the crab, and the tips of his ears were a little red.

Bai Jin looked at Qing Lingzi, and he said seriously: "I may not be as romantic as others, but if I like someone, I have to be his hero and give him my whole heart."

After late autumn, the water in the yard became a bit cold. Jiang Shen brushed his teeth, washed his face, and washed his feet carefully before going into his room, trembling.

As soon as Bai Jin lay on the bed and frowned at his professional materials, he saw Jiang Shen coming in and lifted the quilt.

"Is it cold?" He asked, covering Jiang Shen's feet after he went to bed.

Jiang Shen shook his head: "It's not cold now." He looked at the other party's laptop, "What are you looking at?"

Bai Jinyi didn't hide it from him: "I'm looking at some domestic professional clubs."

Jiang Shen blinked, but he didn't speak.

Bai Jinyi looked at it for a while, only to hear Jiang Shen softly call his name: "Bai Jinyi."

Bai Jin lowered his head.

Jiang Shen was silent for a long time before continuing: "Go to America."

Bai Jin squinted his eyes, he neither agreed nor refused, turned off the computer, and lay down beside Jiang Shen.

"You said you want to be my hero." Jiang Shen said, "Then do it."

He looked at Bai Jinyi and smiled: "I like you standing on the ring, I like every punch you throw, even if you are injured, I like it too."

"My hero should stand in a higher, bigger and brighter place." Jiang Shen's eyes were slightly red, he stretched out his hand, and pressed his heart, "And I will be good, and I will always hide a piece of you heart."

Being young and affectionate or parting is both happiness and sorrow. Jiang Shen didn't know how long the future would be.

Years later, he recalled that night again, leaving only the autumn water beside his pillow, the fragrance of Dao falling into his dream, and Bai Jinyi's warm and gentle embrace.

He fell asleep in his beloved, and he was willing to sleep forever and never wake up.
