Chapter 61

"Wu You is my Chinese name, you can also call me my English name nce. Do you have an English name?"

"No, my family calls me Tongtong."

Wu You repeated "tongtong", tilted her head, and made a face that was more cute than funny.Ji Tong also called him "Wu You", and the two looked at each other and smiled, and he boasted: "He is carefree, just like his name. It sounds so nice, who got it for you?"

I saw Wu You's eyes rolling slightly: "My brother."

For a moment he forgot how to say neighbor, so he simply said it was his elder brother. Anyway, Liang Yuchen was indeed older than him, so it was harmless to say elder brother.

But Ji Tong thought, usually the names are chosen by parents, why did he have an older brother?Maybe it was because his eldest brother was already an adult when he was born, so it made sense for his elder brother to pick it up, so he smiled and nodded to show that he knew.

Wu You was naturally enthusiastic. Seeing him coming alone to this city which is not a popular tourist destination, he couldn't help being curious: "Are you here for tourism?"

"No," the rucksack was a bit heavy, and Ji Tong put his two thumbs between the shoulder strap and his shoulders to make it easier, "I'm here to find someone."

"Who are you looking for?"

Ji Tong opened his mouth to say "my brother", but before he could make a sound, he smiled shyly, lowered his eyes and said, "Friend."

Now I hope that Liang Yuchen is not just his brother.

Wu You asked him which bus to take, so he found out the route and told the other party, but they didn't expect that they were going the same way.

If it is a far-fetched coincidence that they all have an older brother, going to the same station is a real fate. Even Ji Tong is a little surprised, there is really a new word for him.

After getting off at the same stop 10 minutes later, Ji Tong started to circle around to find the apartment he was going to.

Wu You asked, "Where are you going next?"

Ji Tong just wanted to ask him, so he gave the name of the apartment.

"I live there too!" Wu You was very excited, "No coincidence is complete!"

I don't know where I learned the word from.

Ji Tong was stunned for a moment, why is it the same again.

Before he could figure it out, Wu You led him to the old-style apartment one kilometer away, jumping happily while walking, completely treating him as his new friend God gave him, and he was still a Chinese.

He said, "You know what, I think your name is very familiar."

In fact, he was referring to the nickname tongtong, which seems to have been heard somewhere.

Seeing him bouncing backwards in the snow on the sidewalk, Ji Tong was afraid that he would be in danger, so he offered to carry a bag for him, "My name is very popular."

"Then I'm big or not?"

"It's neither popular nor niche, but it sounds good."

The two chatted and laughed like this.

"That's it."

Walking to the apartment, Wu You made a gesture of showing him.Ji Tong looked up, why is it only on the fourth floor?It seems that there are not many families living in it. My elder brother is Chinese. Although Wu You in front of me doesn't speak Chinese fluently, he is also Chinese. Could it be that this apartment only accommodates Chinese?

If so, they most likely knew each other.

He thought for a while and asked, "Do you know someone named Liang Yuchen?"

Wu You was taken aback, and nodded hurriedly: "Of course! He is the brother I mentioned!"

"Brother?" Ji Tong's expression changed instantly.

"That's right," Wu You didn't think there was anything wrong, "He took my name."

As soon as the words were finished, Ji Tong's hands softened, and the shopping bag suddenly fell to the ground. The potatoes and onions inside jumped out and nestled in the snow. Wu You immediately squatted down to pick them up.

When he came back to his senses, he felt that he had lost his composure, and hurriedly squatted down.

The snow is very cold and icy. Potatoes are not big. When they are picked out of the snow, they are like ice cubes in the hand, and they are cold from the palm of the hand to the heart.

"You know him too?" Wu You asked while putting things in the bag, "Are you here to find him?"

"I……"

There was a layer of snow on the bottom of Ji Tong's rucksack, and when he stood up, Wu You saw it and stepped forward to help him take pictures.

"You know him?" Wu You asked again.

Ji Tong was patted on the back, and he hummed slowly: "I'm here to find him."

"We are very close, I will take you to find him." Wu You smiled at him, and then deliberately joked after laughing, "Wait, you are his friend, not his enemy?"

Of course this close does not refer to the distance, Ji Tong's face gradually turned pale, he nodded and shook his head, "No, I am his friend."

Seeing that his expression was not right, Wu You asked, "Are you cold? Let's go in quickly, there is heating in the house."

He led the way, and Ji Tong followed. Every time he went up a step, his heart beat faster.

Before setting off, I thought that there would be all kinds of troubles, but I didn't expect to find this place within three hours of landing, and it was led by such a special "friend".

If he went up a few more steps and raised his hand to knock on the door a few times, Liang Yuchen would appear in front of him as before.

Then how should I face him?

When approaching the top floor, Wu You took out the key from the pocket of the down jacket, and said to him in a normal tone: "Yuchen is not here now, he has gone to work, do you want to wait at his house or mine?"

After finishing speaking, he stopped between the two doors, turned his head and shook the key chain in his hand, jingling like a wind chime, "I have his key."

It turned out that my brother was not here, so I was happy and worried in vain.

Ji Tong raised his head slightly, feeling a little dazed for a moment.He found that although Wu You had single eyelids, he looked good when he smiled. His eyebrows were curved, a little shrewd and a little nimble, like a kitten catching fish.

It turned out that Liang Yuchen liked this type.He suddenly wanted to look in the mirror and see what type he was.

"Huh?" Seeing that he hadn't spoken for a long time, Wu You shook the key at him again.

Ji Tong suddenly came to his senses, and realized that his rushing into his brother's house would probably make him unhappy, so he followed Wu You to the other side.

When you open the door, the biggest difference in the structure of the apartment compared with domestic ones is that the kitchen is connected to the living room, probably because I want the small-sized apartment to look more spacious.Wu You brought him a pair of slippers and said, "There are no extra shoes at home. You can wear the ones worn by Yuchen, can you?"

Ji Tong was stunned for a moment, looked down at the striped cotton mop in his hand, and nodded slightly: "Yes."

My brother's feet were two sizes bigger than his, and the slippers were empty on his feet.He didn't know how to deal with himself, and felt a little helpless in his cramped situation.

But Wu You didn't know what he was thinking, and still rushed to greet him.Let him take off his coat, help him move his rucksack to a corner, let him wash his hands and face, bring him food and drink, and then let him sit on the double sofa, while he sits cross-legged on the carpet, looking up and smiling Chat with him.

"Drink yogurt." The yogurt cup was pushed in front of him.

Ji Tong said thank you, held the yogurt he had just taken out of the refrigerator in his palm, and warmed it with his body. His eyes lingered in the living room for a moment, and then he found the guitar in the corner.

A lot of things are like dominoes, you push me down, I push it down, and what is pushed down in the end is a little luck that was originally in my heart.

Wu You peeled an orange for herself, and the fruity fragrance filled the air.

"China is so far away, you came to see him, is there something important?"

"It's nothing..." Ji Tong withdrew his gaze, looked down at the English words on the yogurt cover, "I just came to see him."

"Hmm..." Wu You didn't seem to understand very well, he couldn't open his mouth while chewing two teeth of orange meat, and kept beckoning him "have a drink".Ji Tong had no choice but to do so. After inserting the straw, he slowly put it in his mouth and tried a little. It was healthy raw yogurt without added sugar, as if it was going to make his teeth sour.

He stopped and asked, "Is his place of work far away?"

"Who?"

"I," swallowed the last half of the word, "Liang Yuchen."

"Far away." Wu You swallowed the orange meat, "But he has a car, so he can drive there. Everyone here has a car, but I don't have a car."

Ji Tong knew that Liang Yuchen bought a car, but he didn't know that Liang Yuchen could drive a car, he had never seen it before.He began to imagine Liang Yuchen's appearance in the car again, imagining what clothes he would wear today, thinking about it, and suddenly recalled the hat on his head when he first met Wu You, and immediately understood why he felt familiar.

That belonged to Liang Yuchen.

Wu You noticed that he was unwilling to talk, and thought he was shy, so he quietly ate an orange, and then asked him: "You don't have a mobile phone, do you want me to call Chen?"

"No need." He shook his head hastily, "I can just wait."

"Ok."

Wu You looked at the time, then ran to the balcony to stare at the road outside the apartment, with a white telescope beside her.

He looked outside, while Ji Tong looked at his back.From this point of view, Wu You is like a little boy waiting for his lover to come back. He is not short in stature, with slender limbs, and he matches Liang Yuchen from head to toe.

After a while, Ji Tong found a transparent ashtray on the small round table on the balcony, with a few burnt cigarette butts still thrown in it.At this moment, Wu You turned around, and the eyes of the two met. Wu You smiled again, walked in and asked, "What are you looking at?"

Ji Tong's eyes fell on the biggest guy outside: "Is that an astronomical telescope?"

"Well," Wu You praised him with discerning eyes, "Although it is very old, you can still see the constellations. I like watching Cowherd and Weaver Girl."

A naive tone.

Looking away, Ji Tong naturally brought the topic over: "Do you smoke?"

"No." Wu You looked back and realized what he was looking at, and said, "It's Yuchen's. He likes to smoke on the balcony."

Ji Tong's heart was burned by the cigarette butt, and he asked after a moment of delay: "Do you also watch the stars together?"

Wu You's Chinese was not so good that he felt that the word "ye" was wrong, and he and Liang Yuchen seemed to have read the constellations together, so he replied: "Yes."

Ji Tong couldn't say anything else, for fear that there would be more holes in his heart from the smoke.

Wu You's cell phone rang, and she ran to the room to talk on the phone. After all, she was her mother tongue, and she spoke English very fluently.

Ji Tong sat on the sofa for a while, when suddenly someone knocked on the door, the action was not in a hurry, he knocked twice and stopped.

He was at a loss for a while, hesitating whether to open the door or remind the owner of the house, after thinking for a while, he got up and walked to the bedroom door and said, "There is a knock on the door outside."

Wu Youjing reminded him, while finishing the conversation, he trotted to open the door, and when he ran to his side, he didn't forget to push him to the sofa: "You sit, you sit!"

Ji Tong sat back down again.

After all, it's someone else's home, so it's not easy for him to walk around or look around.After hearing Wu You running to the entrance and opening the door, the voice suddenly became pleasantly surprised: "Are you back?"

The person outside the door spoke with a gentle smile: "Well, the ta ta shop in the East District is open today. I bought two copies and brought them back for you and nstance. Eat them while they're hot."

This voice has only appeared in dreams for the past year.Just after Ji Tong finished listening to the first sentence, his whole body became stiff suddenly.

"Thank you." Wu You spoke sweetly to the other party, "By the way, you have a friend who came to see you."

"my friend?"

"Well, inside, I've always been the entertainer." It also meant to invite credit.

Hearing the two talking and walking this way, Ji Tong hurriedly got up, pulled his pants nervously with his hands, and stared at the direction of the entrance until the figure of the visitor finally appeared in front of him.

"Brother..." he called out.

The two people in the hall stopped talking and turned their eyes to him.

Wu You was the first to react, and also the first to remember——

One day after the rain, it was a Saturday, Liang Yuchen took a nap on the sofa, and the air conditioner was turned on to dehumidify.He ran outside and got caught in the rain, sneaked over to steal ice cream, and when he crept past the living room, he suddenly heard Liang Yuchen say something in his sleep, which contained the word Tongtong.
