The eve of Chapter 41.

The phone call was made almost at the same time. Xie Linjun came back to his senses, his hand trembled suddenly, then he raised his hand to cover the camera, turned his head to look at Jiang Lu behind him, and couldn't speak for several times.On the contrary, the person sitting cross-legged on the sofa didn't respond. He just looked at the landline that was beeping, and looked at Xie Linjun suspiciously, as if asking why you didn't answer the phone?

"Go get me two books." Xie Linjun let go of his hand, walked over and grabbed Jiang Lu by the collar and pulled him aside, "On the desk in my room, the two books with red covers, I The summer homework I picked for you."

"It's still a while before the final exam," Jiang Lu said, put his legs down, and muttered while putting on his slippers, "You have caught up with the enthusiasm of the school teachers."

Xie Linjun didn't speak. It wasn't until Jiang Lu went upstairs that he put away all his expressions, turned to the TV cabinet, and reached out to answer the phone.

The strange thing is that Ran Qiuyu didn't mention anything else on the phone, but asked about some trivial daily life as usual, calm as if nothing happened.

But the sea was calm before the storm.

When it really erupts, everything will be destroyed.

"It's Saturday today," Ran Qiuyu said softly, the last few words seemed to have been bitten into pieces and forced down her throat, "I'll be home tomorrow."

Xie Linjun didn't answer and hung up the phone directly.

Jiang Lu had lived here for almost a week, and it was the first time he entered Xie Linjun's room.Firstly, all the homework and endorsements were done in the study room, and secondly, Jiang Lu was really not in the mood to come to this place full of childhood shadows. When I was young, the adults would talk and drink tea downstairs, and the two children would stay in the study room. In the room, until Jiang Lu couldn't stand being beaten unilaterally, and ran out crying.

At this time, Jiang Lu slowly unlocked the door, walked straight to Xie Linjun's desk, took the book, and went to the small balcony to look at the backyard from a height, not in any special mood, just wanted to see what Xie Linjun did last time place to jump off.

The air outside the house was so fresh that even the sound of the leaves being blown by the wind could be heard clearly. Jiang Lu took a deep breath and let it out slowly. He had never felt so relaxed before.

Xie Linjun didn't know when he got behind him. When Jiang Lu turned around, he was taken aback, and he swallowed back the "fuck" that came to his lips, "Why are you here? Are you done answering the phone?"

"En." Xie Linjun walked slowly to Jiang Lu's side, propped his hands on the edge of the balcony and looked into the distance. A piece of dilapidated house that was about to be demolished, there was nothing on the backyard fence, and the little black spot that he had just glimpsed in the kitchen seemed to be just his hallucination.

"What's wrong with you?" Jiang Lu turned his head to the side, and a gust of wind happened to pass by his cheek, blowing the bangs on his forehead.

"It's nothing." Xie Linjun said, "I'll take you back later."

"Ah." Jiang Lu looked at him.

"My mother will be back tomorrow." Xie Linjun didn't look at Jiang Lu until he finished speaking, but went straight to the guest room, and took out the small suitcase that Jiang Lu used to pack his luggage before, "I'm not sure how much point."

Ran Qiuyu is coming back.

The days here are too comfortable, and it's okay to repeat the sticky time, but how could he forget that Ran Qiuyu is coming back, and the comfortable days they can enjoy are only this week.

Jiang Lu didn't bring many things, so he packed them in two or three minutes. At this time, it was not completely dark yet, and there was still some time before Ran Qiuyu's next call. Xie Linjun helped straighten the suitcase and said, "I'll take you back. "

Jiang Lu naturally had no objection, but for no reason he felt that there was something strange about Xie Linjun, but he couldn't tell what was wrong.

"By the way, the homework you gave me during the summer vacation." Jiang Lu remembered that he forgot to pick up those two books after he walked out the door, "I'll go back and get them."

"Hey." Xie Linjun suddenly raised his hand and grabbed Jiang Lu's wrist. The air froze between the two of them for a second, and then he let go of Jiang Lu, "Go."

Jiang Lu glanced at Xie Linjun, turned around and went upstairs.

There was also a face-down photo frame where the two summer homework books were placed. Jiang Lu didn't think much about it, and thought it was blown down by the wind, so he stretched out his hand to straighten it up.

The photo in the photo frame is a photo of Xie Linjun and his family in front of the yard when they were 14 years old. In the photo, there are six people, four adults laughing so hard that their teeth can't see their eyes, and the two children standing in the middle are looking at each other. stare at each other.

That was probably the last group photo of them, and it was also the most complete one - two adults passed away in just over a year, first Xie Linjun's father, and then Jiang Lu's mother.

Jiang Lu took a deep breath and went downstairs. Xie Linjun was still standing at the door. He slightly raised his head, looking at the white magnolia tree in the yard in a daze.

"Let's go." Jiang Lu pushed him from behind.

You have to go out of this road to get to the side of the road, and you can get a taxi. Jiang Lu is a bit bored dragging his suitcase. He looked around, but couldn't find anything to talk about.

Turning around the intersection, Jiang Lu's footsteps suddenly paused, and a feeling of being watched came again - the last time I felt this way, I was being followed by Xie Linjun - he turned his head subconsciously, but there was nothing behind him , Even the leaves that were blown and swirled by the wind quickly drifted away, and the empty street seemed to be the only two of them.

"What's wrong?" Xie Linjun asked.

"...Nothing." Jiang Lu took a deep breath.

Before he could take two steps, that feeling struck again. Jiang Lu swallowed, and turned his head abruptly. This time he saw a black cat following behind him. Its body had lost a lot of hair. There were a few scabbed wounds, and the tail that was about to fall out was flicking and flicking behind him. When he saw Jiang Lu turning his head, he immediately squatted in place and stopped moving.

"Cat?" Xie Linjun also turned his head.

"...Probably a cat." The feeling of being watched gradually eased, and his nerves were no longer oppressed, so Jiang Lu heaved a sigh of relief, "Let's go."

Xie Linjun nodded.

The two walked out of the alley side by side, and arrived at the side of the main road, and they waited for a taxi not long after.After putting the luggage in the trunk, Jiang Lu got into the taxi, and Xie Linjun sat in the front seat, his clenched hand did not loosen at all.

"Huh." Jiang Lu gasped.

The cat actually followed, as if it knew that it could not catch up with the car, nor could it get in the car. It squatted on the side of the road, staring straight at Jiang Lu with a pair of amber eyes, and opened its mouth to meow softly. .

"I have a bold idea." Jiang Lu rubbed against the car door and opened it.

"That's a stray cat." Xie Linjun frowned.

"I know," Jiang Lu tightened his grip on the doorknob, and soon he turned his head and licked the corner of his mouth at Xie Linjun, "Aren't stray cats also cats?"

That black cat is very obedient.It wasn't noisy, and when Jiang Lu grabbed the back of the neck and lifted it up, his paws flapped in the air twice. He quickly relaxed, obediently got into the car, and lay down at Jiang Lu's feet.

The driver who wanted to say "don't put it on the car seat" also swallowed the words back.

The little black dot I saw just now was probably this thing. Jiang Lu didn't expect that he was so short-sighted. The distance from the kitchen window to the wall of the backyard was so small that he didn't even see that it was a cat.

The taxi drove smoothly all the way, and soon arrived downstairs at Jiang Lu's house, opened the car door, the black cat jumped out first, hopped a few steps to the side of the small flower bed, and looked at Jiang Lu with its head tilted.Jiang Lu looked at it and couldn't help laughing, "It's pretty smart."

Xie Linjun helped take the luggage out of the trunk, glanced at Jiang Lu, did not make any comments, and went upstairs without even making a single sound.

The room that no one lived in for a week was full of dusty smell, Jiang Lu covered his nose, Xie Linjun walked over a few steps, opened the curtains and opened the window, turned around to boil hot water.Jiang Lu felt that this scene was a bit familiar, as if it was the same when he was discharged from the hospital not long ago.

"I'll go back later." Xie Linjun said.

"Hmm." Jiang Lu responded sullenly.

It's impossible to say that they are not lost, but he and Xie Linjun can still see each other, and there is a small stone step behind the playground for them to talk, even if they don't talk, it's good to just stay together.

At least we can meet again.

Jiang Lu rubbed his eyes, lifted the black cat that had been squatting by his feet, and walked into the bathroom.

"You want to raise it?" Xie Linjun leaned against the door of the bathroom.

"Well," Jiang Lu put it aside, took an unusual plastic basin to catch the hot water, "I brought them all back."

Xie Linjun's eyes fell on the black cat, the rough fur looked even uglier under the light of the bathroom light, the bald tail swept behind it, its ears moved, and it turned its head sideways Staring at Xie Linjun, "Meow."

"Give it a name." Jiang Lu picked up the cat and slowly put it into the basin filled with warm water. The cat was incredibly obedient and didn't struggle at all, "Kong Kong."

"Huh?" Xie Linjun didn't respond.

"My name is Lulu," Jiang Lu said, "It's called Kongkong."

"I'll raise another one another day, is it called Haihai?" Xie Linjun walked a few steps over and squatted beside Jiang Lu, his eyes fell on the knuckle hands rubbing the cat's paws.

Jiang Lu's skin was very fair, and because he refused to eat properly, he was a bit too skinny, but after this week, he had gained a little weight after all.

"Just tell me what you want," Jiang Lu was still rubbing Kong Kong's paws, and Kong Kong meowed comfortably, not like a cat, "I can't guess what you're thinking."

Xie Linjun did not speak.

"Is it just that Auntie is coming back?" Jiang Lu looked sideways at Xie Linjun, "Did nothing else happen?"

After the words fell, Jiang Lu's hand movements also stopped.The bathroom was so quiet that the sound of water flowing through the pipes could be heard clearly, he flicked his tail empty-handed, as if he didn't quite understand why the boy in front of him suddenly stopped moving.

"This week," Xie Linjun frowned, speaking in an unprecedented soft tone, "Is it fun?"

"...It was fun." Jiang Lu said.If going to the vegetable market every day after school is considered fun.

"That's how it has always been."

Jiang Lu glanced at him and said nothing.

"I really hope it will always be like this," Xie Linjun stretched out his hand, touched Kong Kong's wet paw, Kong Kong pulled the paw away ungratefully, turned around and swept his tail on Xie Linjun's hand.The same was true of Xie Linjun's hand that stopped awkwardly in the air. It seemed to fall on the back of Jiang Lu's hand, "Next year, the year after, ten years later, and the next ten years, you will always be with me."

"I won't be with you in the second half of this year, are you?" Jiang Lu didn't pull his hand back.He could feel that Xie Linjun's hand holding his was getting stronger gradually.

"Can you not argue?" Xie Linjun glanced at him helplessly, then continued after a while, "There is something wrong, but I will take care of it."

Although his plan was to confess his deepest thoughts to his mother after the college entrance examination, the plan was completely disrupted at this time, but Ran Qiuyu did not go crazy. All signs showed that a bigger disaster awaited him, but this time With Jiang Lu by his side at this moment, he could feel the peace spreading from the bottom of his heart filling his whole heart.

"Then I'll wait for you." Jiang Lu moved his hand, palm up, and held Xie Linjun's tightly.

"En." Xie Linjun took a deep breath.
