There are still a few days before Gu Miao's training and treatment starts. After it starts, Gu Fei has to accompany her every day, so for Gu Fei, the holidays are just a few days.
"I think it's time for our birthdays to pass," Jiang Cheng looked at the calendar, "I won't have time until Er Miao starts treatment or something?"
"How do you want to live?" Gu Fei asked.
"I don't know, today we will have a three-person meeting first. When Li Yan and the others come over, call Pan Zhi and have a meal together?" Jiang Cheng asked, "I don't have any experience in celebrating birthdays."
"I don't either," Gu Fei smiled, "just follow your idea, when they come and have a meal together, do you have to book a private box first, this place is no better than a steel mill, I think Business is not going well."
"Well, let's find someone who can use the box for group purchases." Jiang Cheng searched for a while on his phone, then raised his head and looked at Gu Fei, "Have you prepared a present for me?"
"No," Gu Fei said, "I've been busy for a while, and I haven't thought about it."
"Really?" Jiang Cheng looked at him.
"...Really," Gu Fei sat down beside him, "Aren't you angry?"
"No, there's nothing to be angry about," Jiang Cheng exaggeratedly sighed, "I don't need to spoil it for a while now, our yellow-faced man..."
"What the hell." Gu Fei listened to the music, leaned against the armrest of the sofa, and laughed for a long time.
"Our yellow-faced man," Jiang Cheng insisted, "it's not worth a birthday present either."
"Are you annoying?" Gu Fei smiled and kicked his leg with his foot.
"It's not annoying, what's so annoying about it," Jiang Cheng slapped him on the foot, "I didn't prepare a present for you anyway."
"Fuck," Gu Fei said, "I thought you had prepared a big gift for me with this sad face."
"I didn't even think of birthdays at all," Jiang Cheng said and smiled, "What should I do, it's only my third birthday, and it's already been so peacefully? There will be a hundred or so in the future. What should I do?"
"I'm telling you Brother Cheng," Gu Fei said, "Those couples who want to commemorate and celebrate when they catch a different day from a certain month, a certain day, and a certain week, all think they will break up tomorrow, so don't hurry up. There will be no chance to commemorate…”
"Don't knock over a boatload of people with one shot," Jiang Cheng glanced at him, "There are so many that are still remembered until old age."
"That's not the same as us," Gu Fei closed his eyes, "You listen to me, we don't need to commemorate anything, we are engraved in our memories every day, we don't need to commemorate, we will never forget."
"Hurry up," Jiang Cheng said with a smile, "We didn't remember the birthday thing."
"Can you cooperate a little more?" Gu Fei opened his eyes, "You've already exploded this skill of Shaking the Scenery, right?"
"I'll pay attention in the future," Jiang Cheng scooped up the cat that ran over the back of the sofa, put it on his lap and rubbed it, then glanced at Gu Miao who was lying on the table painting, "Er Miao!"
Gu Miao turned to look at him, Jiang Cheng pointed out the window: "Let's go out to play?"
Gu Miao followed and glanced out the window, then turned back to look at him, and nodded after a while.
"Where?" Gu Fei asked.
"I don't know, there are too many people in the amusement park, there are too many people in the summer vacation, so I can't go there," Jiang Cheng said, "You can only find a place with fewer people, I think about it."
"It is estimated that there are no places with few people in these days," Gu Fei said, "How about that small garden in the community?"
"She wants to skateboard. The small garden is filled with old men, old ladies and unsteady children. If she rushes over, we mustn't be scolded to death," Jiang Cheng grabbed his mobile phone, "I'll check... It's a birthday anyway."
"Brother Cheng," Gu Fei thought about it for a while, then sat up, "How about... why don't you accompany me to take pictures, there aren't many people in the old streets and alleys, so let's take a walk?"
"Okay." Jiang Cheng stood up.
In fact, Jiang Cheng has been going to school for a year, but to be honest, apart from the surrounding areas of the school, he has been to three places, B University, the community where his two children live, and the train station.
The farthest is the train station, and every time I go, I have a variety of tastes.
Gu Fei wanted to take pictures, of course he was willing, but he didn't know where to go, how to get there, or how to arrange the route.
"Wait for me to check again." Jiang Cheng took the notebook and sat down again.
"Brother Cheng," Gu Fei scratched lightly on his head, "You are really distressing."
"Huh?" Jiang Cheng replied while typing on the keyboard, "Why do you feel distressed again?"
Gu Fei didn't say anything, he just picked up a bunch of his hair and rubbed it.
"Me, actually, I'm not a person who likes to play too much," Jiang Cheng said, "I used to take vacations and rest, and there was nowhere to go. Usually, I just found a place with Pan Zhi to sit in a daze and chat or something. ."
"You haven't had time to find a place to chat this year," Gu Fei said.
"After all, I'm with a bunch of academic tyrants," Jiang Cheng smiled, "I was a little nervous when I saw people go to the library all day long. Going to the back, that's not my style."
"Well," Gu Fei lowered his head and kissed the hair on top of his head, "You have the whole head... it's just this one, or a positive one, why are you so stubborn?"
"A whole head," Jiang Cheng tutted, "Can you use a word that doesn't sound like a horror movie?"
"The whole head." Gu Fei smiled.
After checking the route, they took Gu Miao and her skateboard out the door.
Before going out, Gu Fei and Gu Miao spent 20 minutes discussing the three chapters. They were not allowed to shout, they were not allowed to slide too fast, they were not allowed to pass through the gap between people, and they had to slide up from the side...
Gu Miao kept nodding her head.
Jiang Cheng felt that the results of his efforts for the past six months were quite obvious. Gu Miao now basically has no major problems with this kind of complex communication with non-single content.
Today's weather is very good, although the sun is very strong, but the wind is also quite strong, not too hot.
According to Jiang Cheng's plan, they directly took a taxi, and the subway could actually get there, and it was much cheaper, but there were too many people in the carriage on the platform, and I was afraid that Gu Miao would be nervous.
Gu Miao was in a good mood today. She jumped down when she carried her skateboard downstairs.
Since Gu Fei helped her tie the skateboard to her back when she was playing in the grassland, she asked to carry it on her back every time she went out. In the end, Gu Fei made a small strap for her. On the back, it is easy to assemble and disassemble, easy to carry, and free up your hands.
Although Gu Miao's hand is free, there is nothing else to do. Even eating something, he can't hold it for more than ten seconds. Basically, he takes it and stuffs it in his mouth a few times.
"Where do you have lunch?" Gu Fei asked while sitting in the back seat of the taxi.
Before Jiang Cheng, who was sitting in the co-pilot, could answer, the driver's elder brother took over: "Noon, if you two were there at noon..."
The driver's brother was very enthusiastic. For one lunch, he recommended 20 restaurants from low to high energy. By the way, he also gave them instructions on how to play, until they got off the bus.
"Thank you eldest brother." Jiang Cheng said when he got out of the car.
"This is my business card," the eldest brother handed over another business card. "If you don't understand where you are going, you can call me."
"Okay." Jiang Cheng took the business card and put it away. It was really possible to use it. If Li Yan and Liu Fan came over, he still didn't know how to play.
When taking Gu Miao down an old street, Jiang Cheng looked at Gu Fei: "Hey Gu Fei."
"Huh?" Gu Fei responded.
"Should you get a business card?" Jiang Cheng said, "Look at how convenient this business card is from the driver."
"Who did I send the business card to?" Gu Fei smiled. "They are all acquaintances. Anyone who wants to find me can just call me."
"Yes," Jiang Cheng thought for a while, "Actually, I probably just thought it would be fun for you to get a business card."
"Then I'll print it when I go back," Gu Fei said with a gesture, "Gu Fei, the English name is GoodFly below..."
"Damn it," Jiang Cheng was delighted when he heard it, "Anyway, you are someone who has passed the fourth level and feels pretty good, can you use your heart?"
"Listen to me," Gu Fei smiled, "Then below is the phone number, email, etc. In the middle, isn't it necessary to write a job title or something, just write, Mao Cheng's..."
"Daughter-in-law." Jiang Cheng responded quickly and hurriedly said.
"Mao Cheng's Tu Fei," Gu Fei glanced at him, "I can't pinch it, Tu Fei's Mao Cheng?"
"Well, okay." Jiang Cheng nodded.
After discussing the style of the business card, I walked into a small alley. There was no one. The half-dark alley in the sun looked very quiet and lazy.
Gu Miao took off the skateboard and stepped on it, paddling slowly in front of them. Because Gu Fei didn't let her slide too fast, she kept walking slowly and obediently.
Several old men sitting on the side chatting also called her hello.
Gu Fei took out the camera and took a few pictures while walking slowly.
Old walls full of graffiti, lampposts with small advertisements, Gu Miao who snakes along the road paved with bluestone, a small grocery store with only one window open on the side of the road, people chatting under the shade of trees , the shabby rattan chair by the wall and the cat basking on it…
There are quite a lot of cats in the alley, and Gu Miao now calls all the cats "Brother Cheng".
"Brother Cheng." She looked up at the white cat on the wall like a small cushion and said.
The voice was very low, if Jiang Cheng hadn't seen her mouth shape, he wouldn't have been able to hear what she said.
But even so, it was still exciting. She walked across an alley and encountered four cats. She said "Brother Cheng" twice.
"Am I being treated better than you?" Jiang Cheng asked, "She never called you that publicly, right?"
"Well," Gu Fei held up the camera, facing the grass growing in the crack of an old wall, "she actually doesn't even call her brother very much."
"She is my sister now." Jiang Cheng said.
"Well," Gu Fei smiled, "Okay."
After walking through two alleys, they saw a small river at the end of a stone path.
There were a few old men sitting on the riverside fishing, Gu Miao stopped on the skateboard, stood behind them and watched intently.
Jiang Cheng went over and sat down on the stone bench beside him.
Gu Fei took the camera and leaned against the railing to take pictures slowly.
This river is very small, and the water is not particularly clean, but in this quiet environment, the occasional fallen leaves floating in the water, the tree shadows reflected on the water, the slight ripples on the water when the wind blows, and I don’t know. Underwater fish or shrimp are the circular ripples gently swaying on the water surface...
Everything feels laid back and at ease.
Gu Fei took the camera and took a few steps back. Jiang Cheng knew that he was going to shoot himself. After hearing a few clicks of the shutter, he turned his head and gave Gu Fei a profiled face.
After pressing the shutter, Gu Fei said softly, "Stand up."
Jiang Cheng stood up, facing the sun, then turned to his side, then turned back to the light, and finally turned his head to look at Gu Miao.
This set cooperated perfectly. The tacit understanding between him and Gu Fei on the photo shoot was as perfect as the tacit understanding between the two of them on the bed...
Thinking of the bed.
Yesterday, Gu Miao fell asleep in the inner room and the two of them didn't dare to roll on the bed in the outer room, and finally chose the bathroom.
"Do we have to use the bathing position this month?" Gu Fei asked.
"We can also lock the kitchen door and use the dining table posture." Jiang Cheng replied.
This kind of shameless recollection will turn from recollection to fantasy if you are not careful, and once you think about it, it will definitely be connected.
The image that flashed in Jiang Cheng's mind at this moment made him immediately sit back on the stone bench.
After all, in the summer, he wears a pair of casual pants, which can be seen by a little trouble.
"What," Gu Fei sat next to him, looked down at the camera and asked with a smile, "It's hard to take a picture?"
"You have the most say in this matter," Jiang Cheng said. "You have to go to the toilet in the middle of taking a photo."
Gu Fei clicked his tongue: "Brother Cheng, you are very revengeful now."
"That's right," Jiang Cheng squinted at him, "because there is someone who will hurt others if they seize the opportunity."
Gu Fei lowered his head and laughed for a long time, then turned to look at him, and said with a pure and honest smile: "Just like you are now, I really want to be pressed down on the spot ten or eight times."
"...Fuck," Jiang Cheng was very shocked, "Did you pick up a lot of faces along the way, you can have ten layers when you're smeared!"
"Uncle," Gu Fei greeted an uncle who stood up with a smile, "Did you catch a fish?"
"No," the uncle moved his arms, "It's too windy today."
"You can usually catch a lot of fish, right?" Gu Fei asked.
"Not many, all small fish, just catch them and let them go." The uncle smiled.
After chatting with the uncle for a while, Gu Fei stood up: "Go somewhere else? Can you stand up?"
Jiang Cheng clicked his tongue and stood up.
After walking along the river for a short distance, he turned back into the alley.
There are a little more people here, and there are occasionally one or two small shops with unique characteristics on both sides, selling some strange things. They went into a small shop selling handmade cups, tea trays and other things.
Gu Miao took a fancy to a small black pottery flower, Jiang Cheng bought it for her, and the shopkeeper gave it a thin leather rope, but she refused to wear it around her neck, it had to be tied around her ankle.
"Little sister really has a personality," the shopkeeper smiled and changed her a shorter rope and tied it to her ankle. "You are so cool."
Gu Miao bowed, turned and walked out with a serious face.
When she stepped on the skateboard, Gu Fei followed behind and took a few pictures of her.
"Er Miao is a pure natural cool girl." Jiang Cheng said.
Gu Fei smiled: "I hope to be a little less cool in the future."
The two continued to walk behind Gu Miao. Gu Miao turned a corner on the skateboard, and the two of them also turned around.
This is a small alley that is too narrow for a car to pass, but there is a small store in the middle.
Gu Miao stepped on the skateboard and stood at the door of the store looking in.
"I'm probably thirsty," Gu Fei said, "Go and see if there is any water or something."
When I walked outside the store, I saw that this was probably a coffee shop. I could smell the aroma of coffee. The small sign at the door was a handwritten shop name, which was unexpected.
"Go in and sit?" Gu Fei asked in a low voice.
"Okay." Jiang Cheng nodded.
The name of the shop makes people suddenly feel a little emotional.
The store is small in size and has no deliberate decoration. It has simple white walls and cement bricks. The tables and chairs are also the simplest. The black lines and lines make up a box with a cement table top.
There was only one table of customers in the store, and two girls were sitting by the window, talking softly.
There seemed to be no clerk, so a young girl who was probably the boss came over and put her hand on the table: "What do you three have to drink?"
Gu Fei and Jiang Cheng asked for coffee, and Gu Miao asked for a cup of orange juice and a cup of plain water.
Gu Miao kept staring at a small ornament placed on the flower table next to her. It was a small polygonal ball welded with iron bars.
Jiang Cheng followed it, and remembered the maze that Gu Fei gave him on his 18th birthday: "This thing has the characteristics of a steel mill."
"En." Gu Fei smiled.
When the boss came over with coffee, he asked, "Did you make that?"
"Well," she nodded and gently kicked the black iron's leg with her toes, "I did all this by myself."
"Amazing." Jiang Cheng said.
The boss smiled, glanced at Gu Miao again, walked over and took the iron ball and put it in front of Gu Miao: "Give it to you."
Gu Miao looked up at her.
"Thank you sister." Gu Fei said quickly.
Gu Miao stood up and bowed to her.
The boss was stunned for a while and then said, "You're welcome, fate."
"Fate," Gu Fei leaned back in his chair and looked at Jiang Cheng, "Brother Cheng, we must be considered very destined, right?"
"Well," Jiang Cheng took a sip of coffee, "I'm not far... Thousands of miles away, I ran to the steel mill just to meet you. This must be very fateful."
"It's dangerous." Gu Fei lay down on the table.
"What?" Jiang Cheng also lay down on the table, and the two of them looked at each other face to face.
"One second earlier, one second later," Gu Fei said, "you won't be able to touch Er Miao. If you hadn't picked up Er Miao, I shouldn't have paid more attention to you."
"Is it because of Er Miao that you were polite to me at first?" Jiang Cheng smiled.
"Well, she likes you," Gu Fei curled his lips, "but, you have to be good-looking."
Jiang Cheng clicked his tongue.
"You are so handsome, Brother Cheng." Gu Fei said.
"If you're so familiar, you don't need to flatter yourself hypocritically." Jiang Cheng said.
"Am I handsome?" Gu Fei asked.
"Handsome blows up the sky." Jiang Cheng said.
Gu Fei laughed, and it took a long time for him to lean back on the back of the chair. He closed his eyes and let out a soft breath: "It's like this... that's great."
"En." Jiang Cheng nodded while lying on the table.
After the two of them chatted in a low voice for a while, Gu Fei's eyes fell behind him: "Brother Cheng, look."
"Huh?" Jiang Cheng turned his head.
In the corner next to the bar behind him, there is an electric piano, and there is a guitar leaning on the chair next to it.
"What?" Jiang Cheng looked back at him.
"Do you have any ideas?" Gu Fei asked in a low voice.
Jiang Cheng stared at him for a while and then smiled: "Do you have any ideas?"
"A little bit." Gu Fei said.
"I also have a little bit." Jiang Cheng said.
"But I don't know if they will let you use it?" Gu Fei said.
"Ask?" Jiang Cheng said.
"I'll ask." Gu Fei glanced at the bar and stood up.
The last time Jiang Cheng played the qin was the performance at No. 4 Middle School. When he remembered that time, he had an indescribable emotion in his heart. At that time, he was flustered and distressed after being angry. Finally, he clearly felt Gu Fei's feelings. despair.
Thinking about it now makes my heart tremble slightly.
He had hoped to play with Gu Fei at that time, but it didn't happen in the end.
Gu Fei showed him just now, and when he turned around to see the piano and the guitar, he suddenly felt his hairs stand up quietly.
"Okay," Gu Fei walked back and said softly, "The boss said it can be used."
Jiang Cheng turned his head, the boss propped his arm on the bar and made a gesture of invitation to him.
He smiled, stood up and walked over with Gu Fei.
The electric piano had been played at Pan Zhi's house before, and his mother had joined some middle-aged and elderly art troupe. He had bought an electric piano and never moved it. Jiang Cheng was probably the only one who made it sound.
The electric piano in front of him was more advanced than Pan Zhi’s. After Jiang Cheng sat down, he moved his fingers, and then climbed a scale, it felt okay.
The two girls sitting and chatting over there heard the music and looked over here together.
"How's it going?" Gu Fei stood next to him with the guitar in hand, sliding his fingers over the strings, "This guitar should be played often, and the pitch is still accurate."
"Very good," Jiang Cheng casually played with both hands on the piano keys, looking at Gu Fei, "Then… start?"
"En." Gu Fei nodded.
They didn't discuss what song to play, but they both knew what to play.
When Gu Fei's hand lightly tapped the rhythm on the piano case, Jiang Cheng smiled and listened to the few bars of the prelude gently slide out from Gu Fei's fingertips, and his fingers landed on the piano keys.
The two of them are already familiar with that song, and they can probably continue smoothly from the beginning of any measure.
At first, Jiang Cheng's hand was a little tight. After all, he hadn't touched it for too long, and he wasn't a familiar qin.
But by the time he finished playing it for the first time, he had slowly relaxed.
During the interlude, he looked at Gu Fei. In the sunlight, Gu Fei's slightly drooping eyelashes drew long shadows and trembled slightly.
When he reached the place where the piano entered, he raised his eyes and looked at Jiang Cheng.
Jiang Cheng smiled, his hand dropped, and a musical note jumped out from between his fingers.
"I think one look will make you grow old..." Gu Fei sang in a low voice.
Jiang Cheng hummed softly.
I think, look up and warm the sun and spring grass, you give me a simple hug
I want to step on the confusion and walk through time, open your eyes and you will hear
I want to have you on the left shoulder and smile on the right shoulder
I want to run wild in your eyes
I think, one look will make you old
In the quiet sunshine, the sound of the piano and the singing are all low and gentle.
Jiang Cheng's gaze was always on Gu Fei's face, entangled with his eyeliner.
Sometimes he will feel that it is always a very unreal word, and there is no way to determine it, and there is no way to catch it, but it will appear in a moment when you are completely inadvertent.
Right now, right in front of you.
In the notes of the two's fingertips, in the eyes of the two of them meeting, and in this small square of sunlight coming in through the window beside them.
Gu Fei slowly took two steps back to the sound of the piano, took a rose that the boss handed over from the bar, and walked back to Jiang Cheng: "Brother Cheng, happy birthday."
"Happy birthday." Jiang Cheng took the rose after playing the last note.
"We don't need any anniversaries," Gu Fei said. "What we want to commemorate is not counted by days."
"En." Jiang Cheng looked at him.
"We have to count on a lifetime." Gu Fei said.
"Ah," Jiang Cheng smiled and nodded, "For a lifetime."
