Chapter 21
As soon as the test results came out, Li Yichu was still in the top [-] in the class, while Liang Xuan, living up to Li Yichu's expectations, was firmly seated at the top of the grade.Li Yichu looked at the honor roll and danced three times on the spot excitedly.
The weather is getting colder. According to the school rules, the students have to run after the third class every morning.After a summer of relaxation, the students started running at first, and after two laps they almost fell to the ground.Li Yichu returned to the classroom after running, lying on the table panting, Liang Xuan passed by the window and put a pack of milk on his desk: "Drink the milk later."
Before Li Yichu could speak, Liang Xuan had already run away, and the class bell was about to ring, and it would be too late if he didn't run away.
After resting for a while, Li Yichu worked on the problem with milk in his mouth. Occasionally, he looked out of the window. A row of trees by the fence began to shed their leaves, blowing them around in the wind.Li Yichu sighed. The area from the entrance of the classroom on the first floor to the wall is the cleaning area of his class. It's his turn to clean this week. The weather is cold recently and the leaves are falling. It takes half an hour to clean the cleaning area each time.
Liang Xuan stood in the corridor on the fourth floor and watched Li Yichu downstairs sweeping the fallen leaves in one place with a two-meter-long broom. From a distance, he looked like an ant carrying food.He rolled up a ball of paper and threw it in front of Li Yichu, but unfortunately the paper ball was too light, so it deflected in the air and fell out of Li Yichu's sight, without attracting his attention.
Liang Xuan's classmate was standing nearby eating biscuits. The torn packaging bag was crumpled into a ball in his hand, and he was about to throw it down when Liang Xuan blocked his hand.
Classmate: "What are you doing?"
Liang Xuan: "The trash can is at the door of the classroom."
The classmate saw that Li Yichu was underneath, and said with a smile: "Only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the common people are not allowed to light lamps."
Li Yichu gathered all the fallen leaves together, turned around and looked around the ground, saw the paper ball, bent down and swept the paper ball into the trash can.Seeing this, Liang Xuan threw down another one.After scanning the three balls of paper, Li Yichu finally found something was wrong, he raised his head to look up, Liang Xuan waved at him.Li Yichu couldn't see Liang Xuan's expression clearly from a distance, but he could guess that he must be having fun.Of course Li Yichu would not show weakness, he took a small pile of leaves from the pile of leaves, and quickly placed them on the ground.
Two minutes later, a human-sized "SB" made of leaves appeared in Liang Xuan's sight.
Liang Xuan lay on the railing and laughed loudly.
The classmates next to him looked at Liang Xuan as if they saw an alien. They never knew that Liang Xuan could laugh like this.
"Li Yichu! What are you doing?!" The physics teacher in Class [-] was over [-] years old. When he came out of the office on the first floor, he saw Li Yichu making patterns with leaves in the yard, but he didn't understand the language of these young people. SB's two English words didn't understand what it meant, so Li Yichu asked Li Yichu to explain: "S...B...what do you mean?"
Liang Xuan was about to go down to rescue him, but he heard Li Yichu shouted: "Teacher, I'm hungry, so I put out some biscuits to satisfy my hunger."
teacher:"……"
"..." Liang Xuan laughed so hard that he couldn't stand anymore.
During dinner, Li Yichu went to the window selling rice noodles as usual, but Liang Xuan took him to the teacher's window on the second floor of the cafeteria. Then he took out his meal card and bought two sets of rice noodles with sausage and tea eggs. Cheaper than a rice noodle at the student window.
Li Yichu asked strangely, "Where did you get the meal card?"
Liang Xuan: "It was sent by the teacher."
Li Yichu suddenly realized: "I see, students in key classes can buy food in the teacher's cafeteria in the third year of senior high school. I heard Uncle Liang mention it before."
Liang Xuan: "Yes, so we will eat here in the future."
Li Yichu's eyebrows stretched out: "Knowledge can change your destiny, it's true. But I'm just eating and drinking, isn't it in compliance with the rules?"
Liang Xuan smiled lightly: "What's not suitable? The card was given to us. Whether to use it or not and how to use it are all up to us. Either we are still eating at the old window, or come here, you choose one?"
Li Yichu was happy: "I want to eat fried bananas."
There are also fried bananas at the student window, but they only cost two yuan each. Although Li Yichu likes to eat them very much, he rarely buys them.
Liang Xuan got up and went to the window to buy one, and handed it to Li Yichu who was swaying on the chair, watching him bite with sparkling eyes, like a child who is easily satisfied, smiling and wiping the scum from the corners of his mouth with his hands.
Li Yichu said while eating: "When I go to college, I must make money every day, and then I can buy whatever I want."
Liang Xuan: "What do you want?"
Li Yichu: "That's a lot, food and use, too many things I like."
Liang Xuan: "I will take you there in the future."
Li Yichu looked at him: "What if I spend too much?"
Liang Xuan: "Then I will work hard to earn enough to support you."
After hearing this, Li Yichu smiled and said: "That's not good, I have to earn money, otherwise you're too tired and you don't want me."
"Don't talk nonsense." Liang Xuan put away his relaxed expression, frowned and said, "Don't say such things in the future. How could I not want you?"
Li Yichu was really upset when he saw him, so he picked up a piece of chicken in his bowl and handed it to his mouth, softly said: "I made a mistake, I admit it."
The corner of Liang Xuan's mouth softened a lot, and he bit down on the piece of chicken under Li Yichu's expectant eyes.
Liang Changping walked into the cafeteria with several colleagues, and when he reached the teacher's window, he saw Li Yichu and Liang Xuan who were eating, and walked over to pat Li Yichu's head: "What are you eating?"
Li Yichu put down his chopsticks and said with a smile, "Uncle Liang, why are you here for dinner now?"
Liang Changping sat down beside them, took out the meal card and handed it to Liang Xuan: "Go and buy me a set meal for you too." Then he looked at Li Yichu and said, "Yichu, I'm too busy these days, let's I haven't been able to meet face-to-face, and I didn't ask you, what are your plans? Go abroad or stay in China?"
Li Yichu: "Uncle Liang, I want to stay in China. I don't know anything about foreign countries, and you are all in China, so I will take care of you in the future."
Liang Changping nodded and said, "Well, of course it's good to stay in China, our family is together."
Liang Xuan put the plate in front of his father and asked, "Dad, do you still have to work overtime at night?"
Liang Changping nodded and picked up the rice noodles with chopsticks and sent them to his mouth.
Li Yichu: "Uncle Liang, you have to pay attention to your health, you can't go out early and come back late every day, and you can't even eat."
Liang Xuan echoed: "That's right, you see, your hair has turned gray in just half a year."
Liang Changping smiled and said, "I have my own body, you two just study hard and don't worry about me."
Students in the third year of high school only have half a day off every week, and they have to study for a whole morning on Sunday before leaving school in the afternoon.Li Yichu propped his head up to solve the problem, when a ball of paper flew onto his desk from outside the window.Li Yichu looked outside, but saw no one. He opened the ball of paper and saw Liang Xuan's handwriting - after class, he took his schoolbag and went to the back wall to wait for me.
Liang Xuan is skipping class?
Although Li Yichu didn't show much on his face, he had to admit that he was eager to try. There were still a few questions to do, but now he didn't feel like doing them. He started packing his schoolbags in advance, and rushed out as soon as the bell rang.Today, the senior three teachers are going to hold a teaching and research meeting. In the morning self-study, there is no teacher in class, but occasionally a teacher looks at the classroom discipline from the window.
Li Yichu whispered to his deskmate: "If a teacher asks me where I have been, you can just say that I went to the toilet, do you understand?"
As soon as the get out of class bell rang, Li Yichu quickly ran out with his schoolbag on his chest.
Liang Xuan was already waiting at the corner of the back wall. When he saw Li Yichu running over, he urged, "Quick, step on me and turn over."
With his help, Li Yichu climbed over the wall and asked, "Why?"
After Liang Xuan waited for him to land safely, he took a few steps back to run, climbed onto the wall and jumped onto the top of the wall, and easily jumped to Li Yichu's side, shook his schoolbag and said, "I'll take you to see something."
Liang Xuan stuffed the curious-looking Li Yichu into a taxi, and arrived at the County Cultural Palace 10 minutes later.Liang Xuan first found a middle-aged man and said a few words, the man led them into the hall, Li Yichu looked at the scene in front of him and sighed: "Wow..."
The hall of the Cultural Palace was as big as an auditorium. At this time, it was filled with books, stacked neatly together, as if an entire library was laid out in front of the two of them.
Liang Xuan: "It was my classmate's father who led us in just now. Today I heard from my classmate that a large number of old versions of comic books and novels will be transferred here, and they will be packed and shipped away in the early hours of tomorrow. I remember that you have been looking for old versions. version of the manga, why don't we try our luck. If you find it, buy it."
Li Yichu excitedly said: "Really? Oh my god, I'll start looking now!"
Liang Xuan: "Tell me which year's version, let's go together."
In order not to mess up the original book, the two of them knelt on the ground and looked at the title of the book from the side with their heads pressed against the ground. Although the speed was very fast, it was still not enough for such a large amount of writing.
Liang Xuan had been concentrating on reading the titles of the books until his knees felt a little tingling before he sat up to check the time. It turned out that two hours had passed, and they had only checked a third of the books.He sat on the ground and rubbed his knees, lifted his pants and saw that his knees were red.Liang Xuan glanced at Li Yichu who was in the distance, and continued to touch the sides of the books one by one to identify the titles. He seemed not tired at all with his concentration.
Liang Xuan got up and went to his schoolbag to find out his school uniform jacket, and walked up to Li Yichu: "Yichu, stop the meeting first."
Li Yichu lowered his head and said, "What are you doing? I haven't found it yet."
Liang Xuan squatted down and held Li Yichu's arm, let him sit on the ground, lifted his trousers and looked at his knee, and sure enough his skin was scratched.Liang Xuan spread out his school uniform jacket, and tied Li Yichu's knee with a sleeve on one side.
Li Yichu laughed and said, "What are you doing? Kidnapping me?"
Liang Xuan held both sides of his knees and stretched them tightly, making sure that there was enough room in the middle of the school uniform for him to move around, and then he said with confidence: "It's ok, tie the clothes to find them, don't untie them."
"Oh." Li Yichu hurriedly replied, his eyes returned to the middle of the stacks of books.
Liang Xuan suddenly regretted it. He knew that Li Yichu cherished that manga in his heart, so when he heard the news, he couldn't wait to bring him over to look for it.But Liang Xuan ignored what if he couldn't find it?Let Li Yichu have hope and then let him down, how cruel.
Liang Xuan turned sideways to block Li Yichu's sight, and supported his shoulder to face her: "Yichu."
Li Yichu: "?"
Liang Xuan was silent for a while, and then said: "If you can't find it, don't be too sad."
Li Yichu hardly thought about this possibility. As soon as he saw the books in the hall, he felt that they must be in there, but Liang Xuan's worried expression made him unable to tell the truth. He pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile: "If you can't find it, find No, what’s so sad about it.”
Liang Xuan patted his head, then returned to the location he had just searched for, and flipped through the pages.When it was lunch time, Liang Xuan went outside the Cultural Palace and called home, saying that he would be back later from the reunion with his classmates, and then bought two packs of milk for Li Yichu to pad his stomach.
At around four o'clock in the afternoon, Liang Xuan turned from a stack of books to the manga that Li Yichu was thinking about.He happily pulled it out, intending to show it to Li Yichu, but when he looked up, he saw that Li Yichu was almost in front of him, so he decided to give him a surprise, and continued to search as if he hadn't found it.
The two met in the middle of the pile of books. Li Yichu looked behind Liang Xuan and asked, "Have you finished looking?"
Li Yichu's eyes dimmed, but hope soon rekindled: "Let's switch and search again, okay? Maybe we didn't notice it just now."
Liang Xuan rubbed his temples and said, "I looked very carefully, my eyes are dazzled."
Li Yichu sighed: "Well, well, you go and rest on the side, and I will continue to search." After speaking, he will bypass Liang Xuan and climb to another area to start searching.
Liang Xuan turned around, looked at Li Yichu's back and said, "Yichu, you said you wouldn't be sad."
Li Yichu's back froze for a moment, he raised the back of his hand and stroked his eyes roughly, and forced a smile: "Isn't this done yet? I'll try again."
Liang Xuan couldn't bear to tease him again: "Yi Chu, turn around."
Li Yichu's eyes were indeed wet for a few seconds just now, he thought Liang Xuan had noticed it, so he said bravely, "What are you doing? Go rest when you are tired, and leave me alone."
Liang Xuan stretched the book from behind to Li Yichu's eyes, and said with a smile, "I lied to you."
Li Yichu looked at the cover of the book, blinking his eyes vigorously to control his emotions, because of too much force, his eyes were frighteningly red.He didn't reach out to get the book for a long time, but just knelt on the spot with a stiff body.
Sensing his emotions, Liang Xuan walked around to Li Yichu's front from behind, saw his rabbit-like eyes, and felt extremely guilty: "I'm sorry Yichu, I just wanted to make a joke with you."
Li Yichu was silent for a long time, and said in a low voice: "I still remember that when I was seven or eight years old, I dreamed of my parents almost every day, and then it became less and less. In the past two years, it seems that I have never dreamed of it. Liang Xuan, have they been reincarnated?" Reincarnated as someone else's family? So, you don't want to come to see me."
Liang Xuan looked at him: "Do you miss them very much?"
Li Yichu smiled, and the redness in his eyes faded a lot: "It doesn't seem to be. It's been too long since I was a child, and I have forgotten what it feels like to have my parents by my side, so there is nothing to think about."
Liang Xuan knew better than anyone how Li Yichu had been in the Liang family these years. He never forced Li Yichu to reveal his heart to himself. He and his father tried their best to give Li Yichu a place like home, and Li Yichu also worked hard to blend in after the initial unreasonable trouble.But there is a difference between closeness and closeness, not to mention that Li Yichu came to their house as a benefactor.
Liang Xuan understood Li Yichu's cautiousness and silence hidden under the innocent expression, and he also knew that unless Li Yichu was really his younger brother, he would never be able to live without restraint in the Liang family.
It's been too long for Li Yichu to forget the feeling under Cheng Huan's knees.
Li Yichu reached out to take the comic book, lowered his eyes and said, "Thank you."
Liang Xuan leaned over and hugged Li Yichu into his arms, stroked the back of his head with his hand, and said in a harmonious voice: "Yichu, people have to grow up, and they have to gradually leave their parents. We are almost adults, and there is still a long way to go in the future." A long way."
Li Yichu rubbed his nose on Liang Xuan's shoulder, and said in a muffled voice, "Yes, it's very, very long."
