Ci Jiang crossing the bank

Chapter 23

The next day, Lu Cijiang and his party made an appointment for rafting together.This time, Chen Wei didn't complain that he was alone, after all, he really didn't want to provoke any more weirdos.

A group of people took the boat one after another, and Ji Nan and Chen Xiao took the lead together. The two sat face to face at the two ends of the rubber boat, their feet slightly touched together. The rubber boat shook slightly with the current, and soon there was a big gap. In the rapids area, Ji Nan looked at Chen Xiao and saw his slightly nervous expression, so he stretched out a hand to him, and said: "If you are afraid later, you can hold my hand."

Chen Xiao heard the words and looked at the hand he stretched out, and wanted to say that after you knew about that incident, I didn't think other things were scary anymore, and he still wanted to say forget it, you are so good, so I am not afraid that I will never forget you.But in the end, he didn't say anything, just looked at him quietly.

Ji Nan stretched out his hand, but he didn't get a reply for a long time. He felt a little embarrassed, and was about to take his hand back, pretending that he hadn't said anything just now, but Chen Xiao grabbed his hand, and said with a smile: "Thank you you."

Ji Nan also smiled back.The boat the two were sitting in was a bit big, and even if they stretched out their hands, they could only hold each other's four fingers.But even in the most turbulent place, the two of them maintained this posture and did not let go.

After coming down from that steep slope, Chen Xiao looked at the hands of the two people with similar skin tones, both covered with drops of water but still clenched tightly, lowered his head, and smiled a little again at the corner of his mouth, feeling his heart began to sweeten .

Lu Cijiang and Lin Zhouan just came down from the back, Lin Zhouan couldn't help but wanted to go over to kiss Lu Cijiang, but the boat lost its balance for a moment, and the two fell into the water together.

Chen Wei saw it from behind and laughed loudly: "Has the retribution for spreading dog food in broad daylight come? Hahaha!"

Just as Lu Cijiang and Lin Zhouan sat back down, Chen Wei rushed down from above to bump into them. He held a wooden paddle and shouted, "It's time for me to take revenge on you."

Chen Wei ran into them, and the three rushed down together. Lu Cijiang and Lin Zhou'an also started to fight back, scooped up water with a slurry and poured water on Chen Wei's face, while Lin Zhou'an was in charge of controlling the direction.

Chen Wei felt that he was in a disadvantaged position, so he fled to Jinan and the others, and shouted at them: "Jinan, Chen Xiao, come and save me!" The rushing water made Chen Wei's voice tremble.

Everyone was playing and playing together, and the atmosphere was very happy.

In the afternoon, everyone started to drive home.After Lu Cijiang got home downstairs, he said to Lin Zhouan: "I should go back, you also remember to go home early."

Lin Zhouan stood there and held his hand, refusing to move, Lu Cijiang asked, "What's the matter?"

"See you next time until school starts." Lin Zhouan pinched his joints lightly, and then said, "Can't you find some time to live at my house too? Anyway, my grandma and I are the only ones in my house."

Lu Cijiang could hear the reluctance and grievance in his tone, just like a child grabbing his favorite toy and refusing to let it go, but he still couldn't restrain the reluctance in his heart.

So he said: "In a few days, I will go to your house to find you. Or will you stay at my house for a few days?"

"Forget it, it's not good to come to your house all the time." Lin Zhouan let go of him, and finally said: "You go up, I'm going home."

"Remember to call me when you get home."

"Got it." Lin Zhouan walked towards the intersection.

When Lu Cijiang arrived home, he tidied up his things. Just as he sat down, he received a call from the other party. He asked strangely, "Why did you get home so soon? Isn't your home in the city?"

"Still in the car, I just wanted to call you because I couldn't hold back for a moment." Lin Zhouan's tone sounded like it should be taken for granted.

Lu Cijiang couldn't help smiling, and then said: "I didn't realize you were so clingy before?"

"Do you have an opinion?" Lin Zhouan snorted softly on the other end of the phone.

"No, just as long as you are happy." Lu Cijiang couldn't help laughing,

The two chatted tirelessly for a long time, and after Lu Cijiang repeatedly promised that he would look for him in a few days, Lin Zhouan hung up the phone.

After a while, the anniversary of Lu's father's death came. Lu's mother took a day off and took Lu Cijiang to worship him. The two of them were not in a heavy mood. In the cemetery, Lu Cijiang and his mother Sitting in front of the grave together, chatting with him, father Lu on the grave looks handsome, years have carved fine wrinkles in the corners of his eyes, and he looks at them softly, just like when they used to go camping outside when they had time Same.

Lu Cijiang took the incense lit by his mother, knelt down and bowed to the tombstone, and then said in his heart: "Father, my mother and I are living well now, you don't have to worry. There is something I still need to tell you For a moment, I fell in love with a boy. You may find it a little unbelievable, but you also said that I can do anything as long as I feel clear and happy. Dad, I am happy now, really."

He put the incense in the incense jar, helped his mother tidy things up, and left with her.In the photo, Lu's father watched the backs of their mother and son gradually blur and move away, and the look in the corners of his eyes was still soft.

Lu Cijiang was doing homework by himself at home, and Lin Zhouan's phone calls became more and more frequent day by day, and he always asked such boring questions. Lu Cijiang never felt annoyed, and he was quite happy when answering him.

Even Lu's mother began to wonder, it was the first time she had seen Lu Cijiang get along with a classmate to such an extent.So I couldn't help asking: "Who are you chatting with every day so selfless?"

"The one who came to our house during Chinese New Year." Lu Cijiang asked suddenly: "Mom, what do you think of him?"

"He's a good kid, but he doesn't talk much. You can let him come to our house to play when you have time."

Lu Cijiang smiled, and said, "I knew you would like him."

Seeing her son's uncontrollable smile, Lu's mother was speechless, and asked, "It's normal for you two to have a good time, but why do you feel like you are introducing your daughter-in-law like my mother?"

Hearing what his mother said, Lu Cijiang laughed again: "Then I really want him to be your daughter-in-law?"

"Okay, okay, what are you kidding with Mom? The more you talk, the more outrageous it becomes." Lu's mother gave him a reproachful look, then turned and went to the kitchen.

Lu Cijiang didn't continue this topic, but said, "He invited me to his house to play, I have already agreed but I haven't gone yet."

"Then go, don't worry about your mother and me, I can chat with Aunt Li and the others more happily without you here." Lu's mother said while choosing dishes.

Lu Cijiang walked into the kitchen to help, and said, "Then I'm really going."

"Go, go, and go quickly at last."

In the evening, after Lu Cijiang sent a message to Lin Zhouan, he passed directly the next day. After waiting for a long time at the intersection, he did not see Lin Zhouan coming to pick him up, so he went to his house by himself. After he knocked on the door, After waiting for a while, Lin Zhouan came to knock on the door. Before he had time to say anything, he heard Lin Zhouan say, "Why did you come here so fast?"

Lu Cijiang was a little speechless, and said, "Then why don't I go back first and come back next time?"

"That's not what I mean, it's just that I planned to cook a meal for you, but I have failed many times." Lin Zhouan showed a little annoyance and embarrassment on his face.

Lu Cijiang couldn't help laughing when he heard him say that, but when he saw the brown soy sauce stains on his hands and some small scalded blisters, his heart ached even more.

He reached out to touch his hand, but Lin Zhouan hid his hand behind his back, and said, "My hands are too dirty, so don't touch them. Come in first."

Lu Cijiang went in to put down his luggage and asked him, "Where's your grandma?"

"Grandma went to the countryside to enjoy the cool. She has never liked the air conditioner in the city." Lin Zhouan went to wash his hands.

"Then why didn't you go?" Lu Cijiang asked again.

"In order to wait for you to come." Lin Zhouan's eyes were full of anticipation like a child begging for praise, and then asked, "Are you moved?"

Lu Cijiang didn't speak, but suddenly moved forward and kissed him, unlike the usual tenderness and delicateness, it was like a violent storm came over, biting and pecking, which made Lin Zhouan feel a little unprepared, and then he heard Lu Cijiang said in a low voice, "I'm really touched, Zhou An."
