Chapter 62 LXII

The codebook was as thick as a knuckle, and it was full of more than 300 days in a year.

It's actually easy to read, each of Xia Zang's diaries is not too long; but Yang Sheng was reluctant, and insisted on dismantling the overlaps word by word, chanting silently with his hoarse voice.

He thought he gained a little courage in this way, because of Xia Zang.

Xia Zang had saved him many times, and it was his rescue from desperation most of the time.

Yang Sheng also couldn't figure it out, how many lifetimes of blessings he had cultivated before he could meet Xia Zang across mountains and rivers.

"I saw him feeding the cat again, the stray cat in the community. Speaking of which, if it wasn't for him, I would not have found this kitten. Well, since I met it, let's feed it. The cat's teeth are so sharp , it seems that small hamsters also have canine teeth. No, shouldn’t small hamsters have protruding front teeth?”

"Oh, I know why I call him a little hamster, because he looks very similar to eating! But there are no protruding front teeth... If he smiles a little wider, he will show tiger teeth. It feels quite cute, no, Cross it out."

"Actually, you can get closer to him. It doesn't feel difficult to get along with. But I don't seem to be very good at getting along with people. Who can tell me how to get along with people? I am willing to exchange all my math talents (and no one Willing to ask for this)."

"Why do you have to write a composition like 'my friend' when you are in the sixth grade? There is nothing to write. By the way, the little hamster has just transferred to our school. Will he have friends?"

"I really didn't write about pets. Little hamsters are not pets! Of course, little hamsters are not friends."

"I want to be friends with him...forget it, I don't want to."

The last text was written in the summer vacation of the sixth grade.

After that, they moved to a new home; Xia Zang probably locked the book at that time and left it in the old place.

Yang Sheng thought, if he had taken the initiative at that time, would he have been able to do it earlier...

Who knows?

After being together, I can't help recalling the past, recalling the memory frame by frame, as if changing a certain key node, they can get a more perfect situation than they are now.

And thinking about it from another angle, it is precisely because of the past choices that we have the result of being together now.

Even after a brief separation, courage is regained because of the traces left by the other party.

To look forward, go forward; don't get stuck in the present, don't get stuck in the memory.

"There will be opportunities to become friends in the future." Xia Zang wrote, ending with a solid period.

It's more than just becoming friends, Yang Sheng smiled softly.

During the review interval, he took some time to respond to Xia Zang's diary one by one, and carefully pasted it at the end of the diary with a post-it note.

The words he wrote were not long, and if they were too long, it would only appear that his handwriting was blurred and unattractive.

On the day of the third day of junior high school, he was able to finish writing the last text.

He whispered to the 11-year-old Xia Zang: "You have to grow up well, you will have friends, and you will have many, many friends."

And me, I'm sure I'm still the most special one for you.

As you said, I am your boyfriend.

He actually made a sound, although it wasn't pleasant enough or fluent enough, but Xia Zang would not despise him.

Xia Zang would only look at him with that kind of distressed and worried eyes, and call him softly: "Be good."

Brother, tell me, how should you let me love you?

After recharging his energy for the past two days, Yang Sheng squeezed his scarred hands together, thinking that he should find a way to report to Boss Lu that he was safe.

After all this tossing, he almost forgot that he still had an appointment with Boss Lu to grill fish.

Too bad it can't happen this year.

there will be chances in the future.

Yang Sheng slowly buttoned the thick black round buttons of the windbreaker. The weather seemed to be getting warmer. After all, there was no heating in the old house, so it wasn't too cold to wear this coat.

Nor did he want to sit still.

When Xia Man's cronies came to visit, Xia Zang only hated that the door of the room was not very soundproof.

When I answered the phone call from my mother, I was still a little irritable.

"Mom, happy new year." Xia Zang said.

"Why, don't you feel in a good mood?" But my mother suddenly noticed that his tone was wrong.

"No, it's just that there are guests at home, and it's a bit noisy." Xia Zang suppressed his temper and said to his mother as softly as possible.

He didn't want to tell his mother about him and Yang Sheng right now.

Anyway, after this year, when Yang Sheng returned to him, he would solemnly announce everything to his mother in front of his mother instead of talking on the phone.

This is the respect Xia Zang wants to give to his mother, and it is also the respect Xia Zang wants to give to Yang Sheng.

Maybe the result is not necessarily good, but this is also the most solemn dignity he can give to the two people he values ​​the most.

"Are you going home for the New Year?" Mother was a little surprised, and then smiled, "The whispering really worked, and finally turned your stubborn temper."

Xia Zang pursed his lips and pretended to say "um" casually.

"If I have time, I will also come to Yunshan County to cheer you on before your college entrance examination, and I will meet you and whisper." Mother said slowly, "I really should thank him in person."

"Why?" Xia Zang's heart moved, and he blurted out.

"He's your first, oh, or the only friend you've ever had a heart-to-heart with." My mother said, thinking of something, unconsciously carrying a little melancholy in her tone, "You didn't tell me when you called me before. Your classmate, your friend."

"Just recently, you said his name."

Xia Zang choked up for a while, but he didn't know what to say to answer his mother.

"By the way, is Xiaosheng next to you? Haven't said Happy New Year to him yet."

Hastily restraining his emotions, Xia Zang swallowed his nasal voice and said, "He has something to go out."

"Well, then you can send a message for mom and ask him what kind of gift he likes. I don't want to come to Yunshan County empty-handed, do I?"

Xia Zang nodded in response, but couldn't find any other topic, so he said, "Mom, let's hang up first, I'm going to review. I also wish Uncle and the others a happy new year."

After hanging up, I took several deep breaths, but I couldn't suppress the surging emotions in my heart.

He curled up and pressed the number on the top again.

The emotionless mechanical female voice came again: "The user you dialed has turned off the phone."

Ah, what are you thinking.

Xia Zang threw himself back on the bed, his stomach ached again.

He was also drinking water and eating, so he didn't give up on himself and couldn't sleep or eat; it was just that his body was clamoring and slumping, which made him unable to even lift his fingers when he got tired.

Yang Sheng, Yang Sheng, Yang Sheng... This name is like an antidote, and every time I say it, it seems to comfort my heart.

I just hope that he won't make his boyfriend sneeze by rambling like this.

After calming down, I like to think wildly, what will happen if my mother really knows the relationship between Yang Sheng and him.

He definitely wouldn't dump 500 million, and he wouldn't lose his mind like Xia Man did.

She will probably find a chance to chat with Yang Sheng alone. Whether she agrees or not, she will chat first before making a conclusion.

Just like when she wanted to divorce Xia Man back then, she forced Xia Man to confess all her cheating behaviors honestly. After recording the audio as evidence, she said lightly: "Okay, let's get a divorce."

Then, regardless of the strong opposition from Xia Man and the old lady, he calmly prepared all the divorce documents and submitted them to the court.

The old woman was still talking about it before she died, saying that she had never seen a woman who didn't know the importance and good and evil like her at such an old age.

As for Xia Man, she would murmur her name occasionally when she was drunk. At that time, Xia Man had already reorganized the family with her aunt.

Xia Zang still remembers his aunt's expression of dead silence for a moment, what was Yang Sheng doing at that time, he was absorbed in cooking and not caring about world affairs.

So he watched the little hamster cooking from the corner of his eye at that time, while Xia Man, who was opposite him, directed and acted, moved himself.

Of course, he also admitted that his mother should be Xia Man's favorite woman in this life, but Xia Man is not worthy of loving her.

In addition, he pinned certain expectations and hopes on his mother. If his mother could accept his relationship with Yang Sheng, then he would have nothing to worry about.

"I want to send a text message to Boss Lu to celebrate the New Year. It's already the third year of junior high school."

At the dinner table, Yang Sheng spoke slowly and breathlessly, and he was also begging his mother.

Because he always troubled Boss Lu during these winter and summer vacations, my mother knew and met Boss Lu.

"Don't bother him all the time." Mother poked the rice in the bowl, chattered and chattered, and finally glanced at him, "Is your throat all right?"

"Speak slowly, it's okay." Yang Sheng said, his voice was very soft, but he tried his best to frown a little bit like shouting.

The mother didn't ask, but said: "Eat first, your watch is out of battery, you have to charge it up."

Yang Sheng nodded, lowered his eyes and buried his head, stuffing rice into his mouth mouthful.

The dishes didn't move much, and he felt that they were a bit oily, so he didn't want to eat them.

His mother scooped up two chopsticks of shredded pork into the bowl for him, and in the blink of an eye it filled the rice bowl that he had managed to eat half of.

I can't eat it, but I can't help it. If I refuse, I will make my mother angry again.

Yang Sheng imagined himself as an emotionless cooking machine, and most of the time he coaxed himself to finish eating in this way, eliminating external interference and eliminating his own obstacles.

"I see you've been wronged." The mother snorted coldly.

"I'm not wronged." Yang Sheng said hoarsely.

The watch needs to be charged for more than an hour, so Yang Sheng reads a book and waits.

Mother unlocked the door and came in, handed him the watch, and then sat next to him and stared at him texting.

Yang Sheng couldn't write too long a message to Boss Lu, so he just sent "Happy Chinese New Year" and sent it to his two friends as well.

"Jiang Yanxu, um... who is Qiu Guanghaoyue?" asked the mother.

"My other friend." Yang Sheng said.

"Girl?" Mother frowned.

"Well, girl." Yang Sheng returned the watch and said calmly.

"Then..." Mother was about to say something when the phone watch vibrated twice.

Yang Sheng saw clearly that the caller was Boss Lu.

He looked at his mother, who waved her hand and asked him to get on the phone.

"Yang Sheng, are you okay?" Boss Lu asked immediately.

Fortunately, the hands-free was not turned on, so Yang Sheng replied softly, "It's fine."

At this time, I don't know if God helped him, my mother's cell phone rang, it was a video call from home, she answered it with a smile, got up and went to the living room.

"Tongtong, do you miss your mother..."

Boss Lu didn't drag his feet, and went straight to the point: "Xia Zang has already told me about your situation with you, Teacher Lu. You can stabilize your mood and review carefully. You and I, Teacher Lu, will do other things."

Oh, Xia Zang has Boss Lu's contact information, and Boss Lu is a good friend of Lao Lu.

Yang Sheng breathed a sigh of relief for a moment, and he smiled and said, "Then... Boss, is my brother okay?"

"You are in good spirits. When discussing with you, Mr. Lu, how to rescue you, your mind was clear and well-founded." Boss Lu smiled, "He should go back to school today, and my monk, Yuan Yuan, will pick him up then."

Then he sighed as if remembering something: "I didn't expect you guys to make such a big fuss, didn't you say you were good brothers last time we met?"

"Do you disagree?" Yang Sheng asked subconsciously.

Boss Lu replied, "Both of you are done. Naturally, it's not my turn to object. But I really don't support it. This road is not easy to walk, and you are both young."

"I know." Yang Sheng said, his voice could not support him to speak long sentences, so he had to give a simple and clear response, "But I am not afraid."

"Good job." Boss Lu said, "But since you got the watch, you should call your brother immediately."

"My mother will check the call records." Yang Sheng shook his head, "So please..."

"Speak directly, I remember." Boss Lu interrupted, "Your voice really needs to be improved."

"Just tell him to eat well, rest well, and study hard." Yang Sheng bit each word, and his mother stood outside the open door and stared at him.

"Okay, you too." Boss Lu replied, "It's dead."

"Well, bye." Yang Sheng hung up the phone calmly, and his mother came over and snatched the watch.

As he thought, his mother flipped through his call records.

"What did you tell Boss Lu to study hard?" Mother asked doubtfully, turning off her watch.

"He said that he is learning English recently, and he wants to bring the grilled fish shop to an international level." Yang Sheng said slowly, normally he would have to laugh while talking, but luckily his voice didn't allow it, making him look serious and serious.

The mother looked him up and down, and finally slammed the door and locked it, and didn't pay any more attention to him.

She must have been completely disappointed in him.

It doesn't matter if she is disappointed, her hopes are too heavy for him to bear.
