I miss you by the stars

Chapter 3 I Have Nowhere To Go

Sister Wang looked at Jiang Yi and said, "Xiao Jiang, why are you here?"

Jiang Yi smiled and took out a cigarette from behind: "Your son asked me to bring it to you."

Sister Wang handed the cigarettes to Uncle Yuxi, and complained cursingly: "I asked him to buy cigarettes and bring them to me, but he would be lazy."

Jiang Yi smiled and said, "He's playing in the billiards hall, so he can't leave."

After the cigarette was handed over, Jiang Yi walked back to the door, not in a hurry, and leaned against the door again, leisurely took out a cigarette and lit it, and blew out a thin wisp of smoke towards the setting sun.

People in small towns live lazy lives, so it's not surprising that Jiang Yi leaned against the door to smoke a cigarette before leaving, and his aunt ignored him and pushed Yu Xi to sit down at the table.

But Yu Xi looked at the back of the woman, her slender waist, full buttocks, and the idiom everywhere - "lively and fragrant".The gouache tulle skirt on her body was blown up by the evening wind, blending with the sunset glow in the sky.

She lifted one foot up, as if hooking and ticking in response to the melody in her heart. The red patent leather high-heeled shoe was hooked on her foot and dangled, looking like it was about to fall off at any time.

Yu Xi always felt that the woman's back was asking her: "What are you going to do now?"

Yu Xi lowered his head and smiled.

At the table, my aunt was serving food for Sister Wang, and it was rare that she was also serving food for Yu Xi: "Eat everything, if you eat at the same table, you will be a family from now on."

Yu Xi watched calmly, the leftovers of chicken, duck and fish piled up a hill in her bowl, and they were all parts that her cousin would not eat.

In the next second, Yu Xi calmly dropped the bowl.

With a bang, the rough tile bowl cracked in two, and the whole family replaced it with porcelain bowls, only Yu Xi was still using the outdated tile bowl.

Auntie's hospitality to Sister Wang was like a mask that was awkwardly condensed on her face, but when she turned to Yuxi, her face became distorted due to anger: "You turned against you? Little bastard..."

But Yu Xi listened to Jiang Yi by the door, and seemed to chuckle lightly, and she didn't know if it was intentional, but when her aunt scolded, she leisurely sang an old song: "The end of the world, the corner of the sea, looking for a bosom friend... ..."

Zhuzhen is located in a remote mountain nest, which is extremely rare where there is no 4G network.However, Yu Xi had heard the song Jiang Yi sang on TV. It seemed to be a Sioux City tune, but when Jiang Yi sang it with a northern accent, it was quite different.

Jiang Yi sang and walked away, but her aunt's scolding was lost in Jiang Yi's singing.

Yu Xi lowered her head and smiled again, calmly walked to the cupboard and took another bowl, picked a bowl of vegetarian vegetables for herself, and walked towards her room with it.

Behind her, her aunt scolded in a high voice: "You little bastard, come back to me!" Yu Xi didn't respond, and closed the door on her own.

At the last moment before closing the door, Yu Xi heard her aunt reassuring Sister Wang: "Don't worry, when she turns eighteen next month, it will be no problem to attend the ceremony on time, I promise to take care of this little stubborn donkey... ..."

******

After school the next day, Yu Xi went to the only bookstore in the town first.

To be honest, no one in the town reads books. The only bookstore is probably used for boys to pick up girls. Hiding between the bookshelves and kissing secretly is better than going to a betel nut stand or other places.

Yuxi works here every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and weekend nights. In the extra time on weekends, she goes to construction sites and other places to do work. The money she saves is not only to pay living expenses for her aunt, but also to buy sprint books for the college entrance examination at the bookstore.

After waiting for so many years, she finally waited until she was almost an adult. She expected that she would finally fly out of this mountain like a bird breaking free from a cage. How could she listen to her aunt's advice and drop out of school to marry.

My aunt just wanted to accept the bride price from Sister Wang.No family in the town would allow their own daughter to marry Sister Wang's son.

Yu Xi took out a roll of money from the old jeans and put it in the cash register drawer. Just at this moment, the boss came back with a batch of books and saw Yu Xi putting the money in, and asked her: "Yu Xi, why did you buy so many reference books again?" Book?"

Yuxi nodded.

Last week, the boss just entered a batch of sprint books for the college entrance examination. Yu Xi saved up money and wanted to buy them all. The questions in the books were not difficult for her to do, but she would always be faster and faster each time she did them. Take it easy.

The college entrance examination is her only chance.

Yesterday, my uncle and aunt suddenly found the school and asked her to drop out of school. At that moment, she was in a daze. During lunch break, she listened to the gangsters in the school chatting about "ball girls". For some reason, she decided to skip class for the first time in her life and escape to the billiard hall. .

What is she thinking?Probably because she felt that her body was incomplete, so the Wang family would not want her.

She didn't want to find a man in the first place, but a woman. From the old novels that her cousin read secretly, she knew that men can be with men.

That woman should be able to be with women too, right?Yu Xi remembers a rare and beautiful memory from her childhood, which came from her junior high school English teacher. Something like a seed sprouted quietly in Yu Xi's heart.

It's just that within half a year, the English teacher applied for transfer by himself, probably Zhuzhen is too poor and backward.

What Yu Xi didn't expect was that yesterday she went to the pool hall to find Jiang Yi who called herself "Sister Qiu'er" and gave her money, but Jiang Yi only left a faint kiss on her chin.

Too pure, too beautiful, turned Yuxi's idea of ​​"breaking out" into a childish joke.

Jiang Yi just left.

Just when Yu Xi thought that Jiang Yi was a "black-hearted businessman" who accepted her 200 yuan with a kiss, she pulled out the school uniform from her backpack, only to find that Jiang Yi secretly gave the 200 yuan to her while looking at her school uniform. Stuffed it in her schoolbag.

Only then did Yu Xi have the money to buy books today.

At 08:30 in the evening, the bookstore is closed, and Yuxi can get off work.My aunt will not wait for her to eat. According to the usual habit, Yuxi should go to the steamed bun stand and buy a steamed bun for [-] cents, and go home while munching on the English exercises just now. question.

Today, for some reason, when she reached the alley of the steamed bun stand, she turned right and walked towards the billiard hall.

******

Places like billiard halls are of course closed much later than bookstores.

When Yu Xi walked to the door, he saw an ambiguous light inside, and bursts of smoky smell that made people dizzy.

Yu Xi stuffed her school uniform into her backpack, then swung the bag over her shoulder, and walked in.

The cold expression on her face worked again, but no one came to check her ID card, so she felt that this woman Jiang Yi had poisonous eyes, and she could tell at a glance that she was still a high school student.

Walking into the billiards hall, Yu Xi looked around, and found that Jiang Yi preferred the table in the corner, and was bending over to play there.Today Jiang Yi is wearing an apple green suspender skirt, and she is white, which makes her look more lively.

She leaned over to play, and the beautiful scenery on her chest swayed and swayed with her movements.But if you really want to look closely, you can't see anything clearly.

Yu Xi walked to the table silently with her backpack on her back.

With a cigarette between Jiang Yi's fingers, he was making some colorful jokes with the men who were playing ball. Someone wanted to touch Jiang Yi's butt, but Jiang Yi hid without a trace.

She hit a ball and missed, but that didn't matter, the score on the blackboard showed that she was far ahead.She straightened up to smoke, glanced at the end of her eyes, and saw Yu Xi standing there with her bag on her back, her neck was tilted, and the puff of smoke that was supposed to be sprayed on Yu Xi's face was sprayed to the other side.

It seems that Yuxi is really treated like a child, and she is not even allowed to smell second-hand smoke.

She smiled happily and asked Yu Xi: "Why did you come here again?" She leaned closer to Yu Xi's ear and lowered her voice: "Believe it or not, I will report you to the boss?"

She had just smoked a cigarette, and the strong smell of tobacco mixed with the original gardenia fragrance on her body made the pungent perfume smell negligible, which made Yu Xi feel unexpectedly refreshed.

"Come on." Yu Xi said.After a while, he added in a low voice: "I have nowhere to go."

In fact, Yu Xi is quite a strong person. The sentence "I have nowhere to go" is certainly the truth, but Yu Xi is usually beaten to death and he is unwilling to say it. He would rather go to an abandoned warehouse full of dust to do his homework. Willing to speak out.

At this moment, for some reason, attracted by the fragrance of gardenias on Jiang Yi's body, this sentence blurted out.

Jiang Yi smiled with a cigarette in his mouth, tilted his head and waved at Yu Xi: "Child, come here."

She took Yuxi to a place similar to a cash register, with a half-height fence in front of her, pointing with her long and slender fingers: "Sit here."

Now the billiard hall is where they directly collect money from those who play with them, and the cash register is useless, but it has become the quietest place in the billiard hall.Yu Xi sat over, and Jiang Yi rubbed her head with a smoke and a smile: "Just do your homework here, good boy."

Then he walked back to the pool table with a cigarette in his mouth.

Yu Xi glanced at her back, opened her schoolbag, took out a sprint book for the college entrance examination, spread it out, and started to write questions with a water-based pen.After a while, a fluffy shadow was cast on the book. Yu Xi looked up and saw Jiang Yi holding a lamp with a cigarette in his mouth, and the end of the plug was dangling between her slender fingers: "Children, it's too dark. Right? Don’t imitate your eyes.”

Without any explanation, he plugged in the desk lamp for Yu Xi.

After Jiang Yi left, her fluffy and fragrant shadow disappeared from Yu Xi's book.However, the desk lamp turned on by her is still stained with the fragrance of her fingers, projecting a warm yellow on Yu Xi's books.

It's like seeing the best moon when I was a child.

Yu Xi brushed the questions for a while, then looked up again, Jiang Yi smiled happily and hit the ball, and didn't look at her again.

The time for solving questions always passes quickly. The mechanical brain operation and hand movements bring a strange sense of peace of mind. When Yu Xi looked up again, the headlights in the billiard hall in front of him were turned off, and the customers dispersed. , the smoke dissipated.

Jiang Yi leaned far away by the door, saying goodbye to her little sisters in the billiard hall.

The ambiguous darkness blurred everything, and Yu Xi's heart skipped a beat: Jiang Yi won't forget that she is still sitting in the corner, right?
