Chapter 33 Small books.

afternoon.

The two streets next to No. [-] Middle School were not crowded.

Now the flowering period of sweet-scented osmanthus has passed, the weather has turned cooler, the ground is covered with a layer of golden fallen leaves, and there are curled up dry petals, and a few wisps of residual fragrance can still be smelled vaguely.

Wherever there are people, there are fireworks. The two streets next to the school are particularly full of fireworks. Although school is not over yet, the street stalls have already been set up.

There were some children who were under school age, and old people playing cards under the trees. There were not many people, but it was far from deserted.Don't even have a sense of leisure and comfort.

Yunzhao was originally a slow-paced small city.

The style of the street stall economy promoted in the past few years is vividly displayed on these two streets.

Because of Jiang Xing's road-crazy nature, the school and the place where he lives are on the same line, and he has never really visited these two streets.

He lived here until he was six years old, but he was still too young at that time. The world seen by the child's eyes is completely different from the world he sees when he grows up.Otherwise, there will not be so many people who miss their hometown and innocence when they grow up.

What's more, the streets and alleys now are very different from what he remembered 12 years ago.It is obviously a place where I once lived, but even the staves before the telegraph poles seem so strange.

Jiang Xing came back to his senses, looked down at Ji Xu holding his hand, and said softly, "Why are you pulling me out?" He glanced at the Tianyu Internet Cafe in front of him, "Playing games?"

"Of course not, how can such a good time be wasted on games," Ji Xu said, "I've seen you come here for so long, but I haven't really visited here. I'll show you around today while there are few people."

He rolled his eyes at Jiang Xing, "Didn't you say that you lived here when you were young, so I'll take you around to see if there are any familiar places."

Ji Xu's tone was very relaxed, but in reality all his attention was focused on the hand holding Jiang Xing's wrist——

I was so nervous that I didn't want to let go.

He was also afraid that Jiang Xing would break away.

But okay...

Ji Xu secretly glanced at Jiang Xing's expression.

His tablemate didn't pay attention to these small details.

That is, Jiang Xing's wrist is a bit too thin, there is not much flesh to the touch, the wrist bones are thin, and it is a little tight when he holds it tightly.

"There is a grandpa who sells cotton candy on the street. It has been selling it for many years. Their cotton candy is so beautiful. I don't know if you ate it when you were young."

Marshmallow……?

Jiang Xing was slightly stunned, and subconsciously remembered the word 'cotton candy' that he had accidentally glimpsed in Ji Xu's notebook.

There was something subtle in his heart, before he had time to think it through, he was dragged away by Ji Xu.After arriving at the place, Jiang Xing gently broke away from Ji Xu's palm.

The smile on Ji Xu's face remained undiminished, and a sense of disappointment flashed in his heart. The hand that was holding Jiang Xing just now was behind his back without a trace, and his five fingers tightened slightly.

An old trolley was parked at the corner of the street. There was only white sugar on the trolley. The grandfather who made sugar leisurely moved a recliner and lay on it to bask in the sun.

Jiang Xing's memory has been good since he was a child, and this strange yet familiar scene aroused his memory almost instantly.

It's just that he was very young at that time, and the world seen by children's eyes would be magnified.Every time he came back from school, his mother would take him through this street, but because she thought the cotton candy would be stained with dust in the air and it was not clean, she never let him eat it.

He secretly bought it once later, and still remembers the feeling like white clouds melting in his mouth.

Ji Xu smiled and said, "Grandpa, buy some cotton candy."

The stall owner opened his eyes and skillfully turned on the machine: "It's Xiao Xu, I haven't seen you for a long time."

"The one next to you is your classmate?"

Ji Xu: "My friend, who lived here before, hasn't come back for a long time. I'll take him out for a stroll."

The soft white sugar is spun into a soft silk, which gradually becomes bigger and fluffy on the bamboo stick, soft and white, and plated with a layer of gold in the gradually falling sunlight.

The stall owner's grandfather looked at Jiang Xing, and said cheerfully, "This doll is just like you. It looks good. If you have nothing to do, you will come here often. This place is very good!"

Hearing this, Ji Xu couldn't help but smile, and nodded in agreement: "Well, it's very pretty."

When he tilted his head to look at Jiang Xing, he happened to meet Shang Jiang Xing's gaze. He hurriedly raised his hand and said, "I'm telling the truth. Don't do anything in public."

His cowardly look was very cute, Jiang Xing wanted to laugh a little, but he pursed his lower lip and held back: "Yeah."

Ji Xu was taken aback for a moment, his heart softened somewhere.

The marshmallows are ready, and Jiang Xing wants to pay for it, so the grandfather of the stall owner just let it go: "Hey! Let's go, this grandfather gave it to you, and I will charge you next time. I just have nothing to do. move."

After that, he slowly lay back on his chair.

Jiang Xing held the cotton candy stick, not knowing what to do for a moment.

Ji Xu whispered, "Let's go."

In the slow-paced streets and alleys, in the evening, there is a smell of human fireworks.

Jiang Xing slowly ate the marshmallow in his hand, he didn't have to think about the destination, he didn't have to worry about getting lost and couldn't find his home, he didn't have to look at the navigation all the time, he just walked quietly and slowly beside Ji Xu.

Ji Xu tilted his head, seeing that Jiang Xing's attention was always on the marshmallow, he couldn't help but regret buying this thing that stole Jiang Xing's attention, and said sourly, "At the same table, why don't you give me a bite?" .”

Jiang Xing: ...

Subconsciously, he hid the bamboo stick in Ji Xuyuan's place... He really didn't want to give it.

There is only half left.

However, Ji Xu brought him out today, give him a little, he still has a lot left.

Jiang Xing hesitated for a few seconds, stretched out his hand to grab a piece, and handed it to Ji Xu's mouth. His dark brown eyes were clear and he said expressionlessly, "No more."

Like a very reluctant child who shares his favorite toy with others.

very cute.

It's so cute that people can't help but want to bully it.

Ji Xu was so cute, with his hands behind his back, he opened his mouth unceremoniously and whimpered, the slightest bit of sweetness melted in his mouth, so there was no sour chirping just now.

"I still want to eat!"

Ji Xu smiled, and opened his mouth to bite.

Jiang Xing:! ! !

He strode back to protect the marshmallow, and said coldly and seriously, "No!"

"If you want to eat, just buy it yourself."

Ji Xu laughed like crazy in his heart, and said to himself that it's a good thing Jiang Xing didn't meet him when he was a child, otherwise he would be bullied every day for being so obedient and serious.

He is cute and makes people can't help but want to bully him.

Ji Xu: "I don't, I'll just eat yours."

When Jiang Xing heard this, he turned around and ran away without hesitation.

Ji Xu laughed outright, raised his foot and chased after him.

……

Walking around the two streets, the sky is getting darker and darker, and the setting sun is getting lower and lower.

The fragrant snacks spread far and wide, but the marshmallow in Jiang Xing's hand disappeared. Instead, he held the cloth bag bun and ate the deep-fried skewers stuffing inside with a small stick. It was all dinner.

After Ji Xu finished eating in twos and twos, he unscrewed a bottle of water: "At the same table, are you happy today?"

Jiang Xing: "Why ask this?"

Because you are laughing all the time.

Ji Xu's eyes fell on the corner of Jiang Xing's mouth, where there was a slight curve.

It's just that he didn't discover it himself.

Ji Xu shook his head and rubbed his chin: "Are you tired from shopping, shall I take you somewhere to rest?"

Jiang Xing: "Is it far? It's getting late."

"Don't worry, it's quite close, mainly because it's also very close to where you live."

Ji Xu said it was very close, so it was indeed very close, just across the alley from where Jiang Xing lived.

Jiang Xing originally thought that Ji Xu would take him to sit on a bench, but he didn't expect this guy to take him under an old and strong elm tree.

But this does not hinder the fact that there is not a single place to sit below.

Jiang Xing paused: "Where do you rest?"

Ji Xu raised his chin, and said as a matter of course, "On the tree."

Jiang Xing:?

He suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Just about to ask in detail, I saw Ji Xu skilfully kicking on the slanting tree, jumping up in twos and twos, the boy's figure was hidden in the starlight and the leaves, and he could vaguely see the hem of the blue school uniform.

"At the same table, it's easy to climb, come up quickly."

Jiang Xing bit the Budaimo, "I won't go."

Ji Xu poked his head out: "Come up, the view from above is really wide and very beautiful! Come on, come on!" He paused slightly, as if thinking of something, suddenly realized: "At the same table, you are not afraid Come on, do you want me..."

"...I'm not afraid of heights," Jiang Xing said, "wait a minute."

He fastened the unfinished bag of buns in his hand, the bag was strung around his wrist, and he climbed up the tree trunk quickly.

Ji Xu was lying on a thick tree trunk with his arm pillowed. He smiled and pointed to another place where he could lie down: "It's the most comfortable place, I leave it to you."

As soon as Jiang Xing lay down on it, he realized that there was a hole in the tree. The tree was very slanted, and most of the canopy faced south, so there were few branches and leaves in the north, and the view was very wide.

At night, the star river is low, and the moonlight streams down.

No matter what the world is, just listen to the wind.

In late autumn, the wind is a bit cool, but the temperature of the clouds is always gentle and appropriate, which makes people feel very comfortable.Jiang Xing remembered this old and silent tree, but he had never climbed it.

Ji Xu: "I moved here when I was seven or eight years old. I really like coming here. Whenever I feel bad, I hide and watch the stars here."

As he spoke, he turned his head and glanced at Jiang Xing.

The latter had a quiet profile, looking at the night sky, not knowing what he was thinking.

He felt that Jiang Xing must have been very good when he was a child.It's just a pity that when he moved to Yunzhao, it happened to be the time when Jiang Xing's parents divorced and left Yunzhao.

If he could have come earlier, he would definitely have seen little Jiang Xing.He would definitely take Jiang Xing around to play.

Jiang Xing didn't make a sound, Ji Xu slowly closed his eyes, and the two of them were quiet.

After a long time, "Thank you."

Ji Xu: "What?"

"I said..." Jiang Xing said softly, "Thank you, Ji Xu."

He couldn't tell that Ji Xu brought him out to make him happy, and he probably didn't want to go to the hospital to see his brain.It's been a long time, and no one has taken care of his emotions so carefully.

Sometimes this guy can make people's blood pressure soar, but it is undeniable that Ji Xu does have some likable qualities, and he has many friends around him.

"You're welcome, I actually wanted to come out and play by myself."

Ji Xu smiled on the surface, but cried like a dog in his heart.

No, shouldn't he say: It doesn't matter, as long as you are happy/Because I want you to laugh, you really look good when you smile... Are these all-you-can-eat love words? ! !

The things I carried on my back didn't come in handy at all.

Ji Xu held back: "That..."

"Huh?" Jiang Xing looked over.

Ji Xu pulled off the corner of his clothes nervously, his heartbeat accelerated slightly, strange and familiar emotions surged in his chest, green and straightforward.

He likes Jiang Xing, and now that Jiang Xing is thanking him so seriously, he knows what he should say, but...but he doesn't know how to deal with such emotions.

He was too scared to even look at Jiang Xing.

He can handle the atmosphere of friendship between the two of them very freely, or he can hold Jiang Xing's wrist with a calm face, but in reality he is so nervous that he can hold Jiang Xing's wrist, and he can even take Jiang Xing out to play like he is now.

However, as long as the atmosphere changes slightly, he can't help but want to escape, and there are still golden sentences about getting out of singles that he has recited countless times in his mind.

In fact he did escape.

Under Jiang Xing's gaze, Ji Xu hurriedly got off the tree, landed on the ground with a bang, and quickly said, "Well, I have something to do and I'll leave first!"

This is near Jiang Xing's house, he is not worried about Jiang Xing getting lost.

It's just that he was running too fast, and he didn't notice that something fell from his body. Reflecting the moonlight, the wind blew the first page away, and there were a few words on it——

"Small Books Off the List".

The author has something to say:

Run away from Gray Prince, and the chasing note(?)
