summer love

Chapter 56
"Happy birthday."

"Happy birthday……"
-
Jiang Chuanyao had the same birthday as her, something Baimang had never expected.

It was an accident among accidents that she and him would become friends.

At night, Baimang didn't go back to the dormitory, but lived in Fang Zixin's apartment.On the way back, the two sat in the back seat together. Jiang Chuanyao held his mobile phone, and a message came in. It was from Zhou Yue: "Thank you Brother Jiang."

Jiang Chuanyao turned off the phone screen, thought for a while, and asked the people around him: "Do you know Zhou Yue? He is also from Yuncheng, Yunchuan High School."

"I know, my high school classmate, alumni." Bai Mang thought of the barbecue stall that day, and Zhou Yue's name blurted out from the mouth of the big bear, guessing that Jiang Chuanyao and Zhou Yue knew each other.

"You know Zhou Yue too, right?"

"I knew his brother before, Zhou Mingcheng." The deceased had passed away, and Jiang Chuanyao spoke calmly, as if talking about an old friend many years ago.

"I know, is his ex-girlfriend called Shui Qianyao, the new wife of Zhao Yidong in Ning City." Bai Mang connected the information together.

Jiang Chuanyao hummed: "It's not a girlfriend either. At that time, I was about to get a certificate. She was considered a fiancee, and she was already a wife in name."

Bai Mang: "Young Master Zhao is someone's favorite?"

Jiang Chuanyao: "...It can be calculated like that."

Bai Mang said one more thing: "You and Zhan Yu attended their wedding that day, and I had dinner with Lin Zhi and the others next door."

Jiang Chuanyao: "This world is sometimes very small."

Bai Mang shook his head: "It's not small, it's because we are destined."

Jiang Chuanyao coughed, looked at her subconsciously, and asked, "You really... think so?"

Bai Mang blinked, and replied confidently: "Of course, otherwise how could we be friends."

Jiang Chuanyao sighed, paused, and agreed: "Yes, it is a rare fate to be friends."

"Then how do you know Zhou Mingcheng?" She was inevitably curious about Zhou Yue's brother.

Zhou Mingcheng is like her, a native of Yuncheng. According to the teacher's description of Zhou Yue before, Zhou Mingcheng was not born in a rich and powerful family, even from a poor family, and his family relationship is still broken. How could he know someone like Jiang Chuanyao.Is it in the game?After all, from Dameng's mouth, Zhou Mingcheng played the game very well.

Jiang Chuanyao said slowly, "I know Zhou Mingcheng from junior high school..."

A junior high school summer vacation.

But, not in online games.

It was on the playground at his school.
-
Jiang Chuanyao is a native of Ning City, but the primary and junior high schools live on campus, Zhong Ling does not allow him to see him at home, and every time Jiang Xiaoxin comes over, he will be taken back to Jiang's house.

He attended a full-time private school in elementary school. Although it was full-time, the school management was not strict.The children who stayed in school during the summer vacation either had their parents not in the country, or they were wild children who were ignored and had no status.

The only thing they have in common is that they all have a good family background.

He didn't fit in well with them, and he didn't communicate with those who had been out of school for a long time.The private school environment is very good, but the atmosphere is extremely bad, showing off wealth, fighting, bullying...

Zhong Ling put him in there to fend for himself, a group of bad kids lead a group of stupid kids.

Some of these children were born to mistresses and juniors, and some were just the product of the combination of family interests, and were abandoned here because the interests parted ways.

There are also parents who went to prison for economic crimes, and their children were entrusted to relatives, who were thrown into this school again.

Is there a kind of child who is doomed to be unrecognized and unpopular from birth?

have.a lot of.

In their school, more than half of them are almost all.

Zhou Mingcheng is not from their school. Jiang Chuanyao met him during the summer vacation.

The children who continue to take care of this school during the summer vacation are the worst. Those parents who are doing business abroad will still return to China to take their children abroad for most of the summer vacation.

Summer holidays are still in school, mostly for kids who don't even think about it.

They are not missed, not thought of, and no relatives and friends will come to visit them.Expensive school and living expenses are automatically charged to the school on a regular basis every year.They only face teachers and life administrators.

A dormitory is assigned a life manager. If you are assigned a gentle personality, thank God; if you assign a violent personality, dormitory life will be full of fireworks.

Jiang Chuanyao knew how to smoke in junior high school. When he was in elementary school, the older children in the dormitory on the same floor stuffed more than a dozen cigarette butts into his mouth. When he was in junior high school, he could push them down and burn their necks with lit cigarette butts.

After that, no one dared to bully him.

Of course, he has no friends.

Jiang Chuanyao knew Zhou Mingcheng because Zhou Mingcheng sneaked into this closed management school to play.

I don't know how Zhou Mingcheng made friends with those people, maybe it's boring.This private school with closed management is located on the outskirts of Xicheng, Ning City, facing a large barren farmland.

Across the barren side is the cheapest farmer's house for rent in the city.

Zhou Mingcheng rented there.

At that time, a group of the most arrogant and vigorous senior children in the school formed a basketball team.Zhou Mingcheng sneaks in every day and plays with them.

Children who are not loved grow very fast.In the third grade of junior high school, all of them were about 1.8 meters tall. Zhou Mingcheng was older and a little shorter than them.

However, Zhou Mingcheng played well.

They gave Zhou Mingcheng a nickname: Zhou Dasha.

Knowing that he had this nickname, Zhou Mingcheng climbed the wall to play basketball every day, and brought them fried skewers and baked buns from outside the school.Not only does he play well, but he also has a good temper.

Only once, I don't know what conflict happened because of it, from pushing each other to fighting.

The boys who come out of this school are either smart or not good-minded, or strong and not good-minded.What they have in common is that they have bad tempers.

They beat up Zhou Mingcheng, a student from another school, and the school wouldn't deal with them even if they were beaten up.

More than a dozen people punched and kicked Zhou Mingcheng.Before leaving, Zhou Mingcheng took off Zhou Mingcheng's sneakers and threw them into the stinky trash can.

Throughout the whole process, Jiang Chuanyao sat on the steps opposite the playground and watched coldly.

After Zhou Mingcheng was beaten, he got up from the ground indifferently.

Those who bullied Zhou Mingcheng had already left with high spirits.

Zhou Mingcheng limped back to retrieve his shoes from the trash can, and then came to the pool barefoot. He looked a little happy.Humming an out-of-key tune, cleaning the stains on the surface of the sneakers, and then happily putting them back on.

The person who took the lead in abusing him has already left the school because his parents are bankrupt and unable to afford expensive tuition fees.

A week later, after being punished, Zhou Mingcheng came to school to play again.

Finally, once he couldn't help but walked down the steps and asked Zhou Mingcheng, who had been lingering for a long time, "Why did you come to play here?"

Zhou Mingcheng showed a bright smile: "Because it's fun here, and you are all very energetic."

This is the first time someone said it was fun in this ghost place, and it was also the first time someone said they were energetic.

"I think you are more fun." He returned to Zhou Mingcheng.

Zhou Mingcheng raised a brighter smile at him for a clearly unkind sentence: "Thank you, brother, I'm just a very fun person."

The understanding was wrong, and the two people who had nothing to do with each other became friends one after another.

Zhou Mingcheng was five years older than him, he was 13 years old, and Zhou Mingcheng just happened to be an adult.
-
"What kind of person is Zhou Mingcheng?" Bai Mang still couldn't feel Zhou Mingcheng's specific personality.

"A fool." Jiang Chuanyao sat in the back seat, disgusted.

Bai Mang asked back: "Then you have taken care of Zhou Mingcheng's friends all these years, as well as his brother Zhou Yue."

Jiang Chuanyao added: "He is a good man."

Bai Mang: "Just because he is a good person?"

"Sometimes good people are shameless." Jiang Chuanyao pouted, "He died, and he inherited his friends to me."

Bai Mang heard it funny, and praised Jiang Chuanyao by the way: "Then you are also a good person."

Jiang Chuanyao: "I am not."

He's not a good guy, and he doesn't want to be.

Knowing Zhou Mingcheng was purely accidental.But in those few years, he really did thank Zhou Mingcheng from the bottom of his heart.

He stayed at the school in a cage, and the only person who would come to visit him was Zhou Mingcheng.

Every time Zhou Mingcheng came to visit him, he brought him some off-campus food.

Zhou Mingcheng occasionally looks like a little brother full of positive energy with a bright smile; occasionally he looks like a nagging old dad with a lot of chicken soup for his soul.

A man living in self-deceiving hopes.

"No matter which school you are in, you have a school to study at any rate. Study hard, and you will be free after entering high school."

"Just wait until you become an adult, and you can choose the life you want when you become an adult."

"Jiang Chuanyao, we are all people who are not very popular in this world, so we must aim high. When we change the world one day, the world will definitely praise us! At that time, I will scold the world. One sentence——

Grass your uncle!I am the most handsome! "

……

I'm sorry, that fool with high ambitions died five years ago.

23 is old.
-
The car was parked at Lanting Apartment in University City.

Thick night, sporadic street lights, speeding vehicles.

Before Baimang got out of the car, he clasped the car door with both hands, bent over, faced Jiang Chuanyao inside and said, "If you don't mind, wait for me for 5 minutes, I'll go up and get something down."

Jiang Chuanyao was sitting inside, under the dim light of the carriage, his eyebrows and eyes were unbelievably handsome, with a little light shining.

"I don't mind. I'll wait for you." He promised her, the tip of his throat rolling slightly.

Jiang Chuanyao, who has always been cold and lazy towards others, tonight he looks gentle no matter what.

Since they are friends, there is no reason for him to unilaterally give her a gift.
-
In Fang Zixin's two-room apartment, a room was vacated for her.Everything that cannot be stored in the dormitory is stored here.

Bai Mang found a pair of fully packed table tennis rackets from a storage box.

She doesn't have anything particularly precious and affordable, but this ping pong racket is quite expensive——

Because one of her favorite female table tennis players, a female athlete who won a Grand Slam championship, personally signed and blessed her.

She takes good care of this table tennis racket, but it has been preserved for a long time and it looks a bit old.

Bai Mang quickly went downstairs again.
-
Jiang Chuanyao had already got out of the car and was standing under a street lamp.The sleepy light enveloped his solitary and proud figure gently.

Bai Mang took the table tennis racket, walked up to Jiang Chuanyao, and presented the gift seriously.

"This is my birthday present to you."

Jiang Chuanyao lowered his head and took a look: "...Is it a table tennis racket?"

"There is XX's signature on it, a very admirable athlete." She explained proudly, mainly because she was afraid of being rejected.

Jiang Chuanyao understood, and said, "...that's very precious." His hand had already been stretched out, and he naturally accepted the birthday gift she gave him—a signed table tennis racket.

With a humble face, Bai Mang raised his head and said, "The birthday present from you is not cheap."

Of course, there are also suspicions of collating orders.

But the blessing is true. She got a very precious blessing from Jiang Chuanyao, so she gave him the table tennis racket she treasured.

She doesn't have a collection habit, but as long as she thinks it is important, she will keep it well.

Jiang Chuanyao looked at the well-packed pair of table tennis rackets again. He hadn't opened it yet and said, "Thank you, I like it very much."

The tone is clear and deep, with the feeling of being slightly drunk with the breeze in the middle of the night, which is particularly provocative.

"Goodbye." Bai Mang took two steps back and waved.

"……goodbye."

Jiang Chuanyao stood where he was, and waited for Baimang to enter the apartment again before turning around and leaving.

Qinghui pierced through the clouds, and a semi-circular moon floated in the deep sky in panic.Looking up, it is bright and white, proud and deserted.
-
In this world, there may really be the emotion of "no acquaintance without fighting".

Both she and Jiang Chuanyao can become friends, and there will be a good weather tomorrow.

In the middle of the night, Bai Mang lay on the bed and changed Jiang Chuanyao's note to his original name, and then pulled him into his few friends group.

Fang Zixin returned to Ning City two days ago and slept alone in the loft apartment.Among the three people, Dameng asked her when she would return to Ning City?

Bai Mang didn't intend to go to Ning City, but decided to return to Yun City tomorrow.
-
At noon the next day, as he put on his backpack and was about to board the bus in Yuncheng, Fang Zixin called.

Hemming and hawing, but also difficult to face, stated one thing——

"Man'er... our father has been arrested."

　A slight twist.Don't panic.

　　Sorry for the late update.

　　Early in the morning, I went up the mountain to bring warmth to the lonely old people, and in the afternoon I came to other things.

　　In the evening, the Qixi Festival flowers are all here, so I don’t go out on dates, so I will write an update for everyone~
　　I'm going to coax him later~
　　I wish you all a happy Tanabata!
　　see~
