Chapter 32 Rum Sorbet

"Why did Yuan Zhao come to northern Liaoning?"

"Grandma passed away and I...have nowhere to go."

Saying goodbye to the girls, the two walked slowly side by side under the pear tree. Lu Jingyun was carrying the load, and the jacket on his body was a little old. He always felt that it was so inappropriate to walk with Xu Jiangmian, who was wearing a brand-new school uniform. But Xu Jiangmian unloaded a bamboo basket for him to carry, and when he remembered Grandma Lu, his eyes became red, "What's Yuan Zhao's plan then?"

"Sell the goods first, save some money, and see if I can find some more work..." Lu Jingyun was eager to save enough money before trying to find a way to go to the Guoan Military Academy, but he didn't want to rely on Xu Jiangmian's help, so he turned around to pick it up The bamboo basket in Xu Jiangmian's hand was hung back on the burden, "This one is not heavy, it's just right to carry it around."

Xu Jiangmian saw that the clothes on his shoulders were thinning and whitening, so he was reluctant to tell him to leave more, because he said, "Where does Yuan Zhao live now? I'll find you after the banquet in the evening."

Lu Jingyun hurriedly said, "I'll wait for you. Where is the banquet?"

"Baihui Building, just west of Central Street." Xu Jiangmian stopped and said with concern, "Remember to eat, there is a Chen Ji noodle restaurant in front of you."

Lu Jingyun couldn't help but smile, "Okay."

After parting, Lu Jingyun went to Chen Ji Noodle House and ate a bowl of jerk beans. The marinade was really fragrant, but he didn't taste anything, hoping that the sky would get dark soon. He originally planned to go directly to Baihui Building to wait after the meal, but after thinking about what Xu Jiangmian said before leaving, a secret anticipation and premonition suddenly appeared in his heart.

In the past few days, he went to sell ginseng near Liaobei Middle School. The house hadn't had time to clean up. The sundries were put into the warehouse outside the door, and several rags were changed to wipe the dust off. Although it still looked old and dull, it was naturally incomparable to the Xu residence, but it still looked like a home...

Still try not to let him come here, Lu Jingyun sighed lowly, washed his hands and face before running out the door, the night wind blew up, and the first-quarter moon in the western sky quietly floated behind the clouds, following his footsteps. .

Xu Jiangmian sat in the private room of Baihui Building, also absent-minded. He seemed to have returned to those afternoons in the Xu residence, waiting to ride with him in the evening... Except for a few elders at the banquet, the rest were all with him. He is a child of the same age. There is a boy from the police chief's family who also graduated from Liaobei Middle School. He has already entered Liaobei University this year. He seems to be very interested in his younger brother. He always felt that the senior was a little too enthusiastic, but he didn't think too much about it. He listened politely and thanked him. Before leaving, the boy said he would drive him back to school.

"I can't do it today. I have a friend waiting." Xu Jiangmian smiled and looked around. As soon as he saw Lu Jingyun under the street lamp, he walked over with a smile.

"Is that him?" The boy also followed, and after seeing Lu Jingyun's clothes, he raised his eyebrows contemptuously, his expression not very good-looking.

"Senior Hu, we have a chance to meet again." Xu Jiangmian nodded, saying goodbye clearly.

"I didn't expect you to have such a friend. It's unbelievable." The boy taunted and stretched his arms to hug Xu Jiangmian, "See you another day, little brother."

"Please show some respect." Lu Jingyun was now lying between the two of them, keeping Xu Jiangmian behind him. The boy met his cold gaze and couldn't help but feel agitated. He unexpectedly threw an uppercut. Looking at Lu Jingyun's eyes, Lu Jingyun leaned back and flashed, pinching his chaotic arm, the boy wanted to break free, but found that he was trained by his father since he was a child, and he was not as strong as this poor boy.

He threw his left fist again, Lu Jingyun took advantage of the situation and pulled his wrist fiercely, his left hand loosened and tugged, and threw him aside, Xu Jiangmian dodged, and Young Master Hu's head slammed into the street lamp with a bang.

This seems to be a tai chi technique. It is like a cloud of scrutiny. Xu Jiangmian sees Young Master Hu being in a state of embarrassment. He wants to laugh, but he hastily endured it. The driver and bodyguards who saw him rushed over, fearing that the matter would be a big one, so he quickly apologized and apologized again. After whispering a few words in his ear, Young Master Hu knew that he was wrong, and felt that he had lost face, so he got in the car and left after scolding a few words.

"Yuan Zhao, are you still angry? Do you want to eat sorbet?" The two walked along the street, Xu Jiangmian saw that Lu Jingyun was still frowning, and wanted to coax him with a smile. He had never seen him so angry.

"I'm afraid he will trouble you again." Lu Jingyun was a little worried, thinking of the frivolous appearance of Young Master Hu just now, his heart was surging.

"Don't worry, he doesn't dare to do anything." Xu Jiangmian was very certain. He knew very well how the Hu family master became an official. He just used his words to suppress the young master Hu, and the latter lost his arrogance. He wanted to make Lu Jingyun happy, so he ran into the store and bought a red raisin rum-flavored sorbet, took off the paper and brought it to his mouth, "Yuanzhao, come and try it, it's delicious. "

Lu Jingyun took a small bite. The raisins and wine were mixed with cream and melted in his mouth. It was creamy and sweet. This was a delicacy he hadn't tasted for a long time. Looking at the person in front of him, his pale cheeks flushed with the neon lights. His heart was like being soaked in thick honey, and it seemed sour and sweet, not knowing how to express it. He thought about his words and said, "Listen to Qiu Li, you are seriously ill."

Xu Jiangmian was stunned for a moment, then whispered, "This guy Qiu Li has a loose mouth."

Seeing that he was going to bite the sorbet, Lu Jingyun hurriedly grabbed it, "Since it's the root of the disease, don't eat these things."

"I'm fine, you're here, I'm fine." Xu Jiangmian walked around him, still taking a mouthful of sorbet into his mouth. He actually wanted to bite down on the tooth marks left by Lu Jingyun, but it was too much. Ashamed, I had to eat the opposite side.

They talked about their experiences these days, and walked several times along the central street. When the bell rang nine times, the neon lights went out in rows, and the night wind blew even faster. The night in northern Liaoning was always a little cold. Yes, Lu Jingyun saw that Xu Jiangmian's ears had been swept red by the wind, so he wanted to send him back to school.

"Can I go to your place first?" Xu Jiangmian was still unsure.

"My place...it's too rudimentary." Lu Jingyun plucked off the two pear flowers that fell from his head. He didn't want to stay with him for a while, but his reason made him subconsciously refuse.

"Your best friend is on your side, what's wrong with that?" Xu Jiangmian smiled lightly, "Let's lead the way."

They turned into the deep alley, the light of the electric light stretched the two figures obliquely, and the uneven stone road was covered with layers of dark light. There was no street light, and it was darkness. Lu Jingyun's heart beat fast. He had already finished eating the sorbet in his hand. The sweetness on the finger by Fujing, and then he felt hot on his body, some impulse drove him to hold the hand of the person behind him, and the person smiled and acquiesced, he felt that person's smooth and slender fingers , something propped up under his crotch, he touched it with his other hand, but fortunately his pants were loose and didn't bulge too much. At this time, he couldn't hear what Xu Jiangmian was saying to him. , only desperately suppressed the desire in his heart, and when he crossed the road with lights, he quickly put down the man's hand.

When he turned into the alley again, the shack he rented arrived. Xu Jiangmian stared at this small and dilapidated shack area, tears fell, he choked and said, "Yuanzhao, don't live here. Now, I'll take some money out tomorrow and find you a bed in the school space."

"After doing the funeral for my grandmother, I actually still have some money, but I just don't think it's necessary..." Lu Jingyun wanted to deal with it vaguely, so he laughed and joked: "You just said, 'Your best friend is by your side, what's the point?' , do you want to leave right now?"

"How could it be!" Xu Jiangmian smiled and wiped away his tears, "I just feel sorry for you. Although I grew up in the Xu residence, I don't mind it." After speaking, he pushed open the door and walked in.

This shed was once rented to a destitute scholar, and the walls of the shed were pasted with poems written by him. When Lu Jingyun was cleaning in the evening, he saw that his words were still a bit strong, so he left them unremoved. Sure enough, Xu Jiangmian did not care about these books. The picture was interested, and after looking around for a long time, I saw the sentence "Though it is hard to scour the world, it is hard to blow all the mad sand before reaching the gold." , Several oil lamps were lit. At this time, he was taking out the marinated spiced peanuts wrapped in gauze cloth and roasting. It was very different from the previous time when he faced Master Hu.

Xu Jiangmian looked at the small heated kang again. A quilt was laid neatly, and Lu Jingyun's clothes were stacked aside. He felt warm when he looked at these things, just like after Lu Jingyun left the Xu residence, he silently saved the clothes he passed through. The family clothes were as indescribable. He lowered his eyes and smiled, and sat down gently on the bench, "Yuanzhao, I like you here so much!"

Gee. . . Let's just say that Xiao Xu is really gentle and sensible
