I Like You

The so-called Yuanjia Road is narrow, probably that night.

He had an appointment with Lin Cen at night, and the meeting place was chosen by Lin Cen, at a food stall near their home.

During the holiday, they often gather together to play games at night, so they sleep more during the day.

He woke up that day, it was already six o'clock in the afternoon, and after packing up, he went out to the meeting place with Lin Cen, which was almost eight o'clock late.

He remembered clearly that that day was the end of the twelfth lunar month, and the Spring Festival was almost a week away.

Many people who came to work in this city have begun to return to their hometowns one after another. The late night food stalls are usually full, and there are quite a lot of vacancies that night.

He came by taxi. The car could only stop at the entrance of the alley. When he got out of the car, he felt a bitter chill. He wrapped his jacket tightly and walked into the alley on the snow that had not melted last night.

Two street lamps were broken at the entrance of the alley, and the light was very dim. After walking in a few steps, he heard low laughter.

"Hey, are you blind?"

He turned his head and looked at Lin Cen, standing in the dark, unable to see his face, but the smoke in his hand was bright and dark.

As Lin Cen walked towards him, he handed the cigarette to his mouth and took a fierce sip, then threw it on the ground and trampled it out with his foot: "Wait for a long time, starving to death, let's go."

The owner of the food stall knew Lin Cen and greeted him enthusiastically when he saw him coming.

They took a seat and sat down. Jiang Su didn't like to order food, so Lin Cen dangled a cigarette and swiped the menu with a pencil.

After being away from the same school, the number of meetings between Jiang Su and Lin Cen gradually decreased. The last time he met was three months ago, and he had always had a short head. He actually grew his hair long, naturally black, with broken hair hanging down. On his forehead, there is a little more youthfulness, and the tone that is usually very small at first glance is missing.

After ordering the food, Lin Cen opened a bottle of wine, poured a glass for each of them, and then told him: "My **** final exam, I was pressured by a girl."

Jiang Su chuckled lightly: "Spicy chicken."

"Tsk," Lin Cen was drinking, looking melancholy and speaking without melancholy: "I thought I could become the first year without you, but I didn't expect...sorrowful."

The waiter brought cold dishes to Jiangju, who had not eaten for a day, took the chopsticks to dial the dishes, and quickly put the cucumber into his mouth: "The college entrance examination is only one and a half years away. What are your plans?"

"Huh?" Lin Cen scratched his head: "I will try my best to get into a good university, and then I plan to learn computer. I will be a code farmer. I have studied it. This is relatively stable. How about you?"

Before Jiang Su could speak, Lin Cen smiled with his eyelids drooping: "Forget it, when I didn’t ask you, you don’t need to think about it, you just need to follow your dreams. I’m not the same. You know the situation in my family. Yes, I'm so **** poor, I have to consider my livelihood, as for my dreams, that's a **** shit!"

At the food stall, your lights are dim, Jiang Su droops his eyelids and smiles, then raises his eyelids and asks: "What is your dream?"

Lin Cen looked as if he had been questioned, and was dumbfounded for a while, then lowered his head and said, "I have no dreams."

In this world, there is a group of people who worry about their livelihood every day. Even dreams and thoughts are extravagant desires.

Lin Cen probably also felt that this topic was too sad. He smiled and changed the topic: "I solve food and clothing, you chase dreams, and I hope that in the future, my child's starting point can be the same as yours."

While talking, Lin Cen smiled happily: "Speaking of which, I am not without dreams."

Maybe it's because the children from poor families are in charge early, and Lin Cen thinks more than his peers.

He has an older brother who was born with cerebral palsy and cannot take care of himself. His parents have no job and live by setting up a stall.

He is not only responsible for the retirement of future parents, but also his brother.

He said a lot to Jiang Su that night, saying that he has no other extravagant desires, and hopes to make more money in the future, to support his parents in the elderly, to settle down his brother, and if it is still possible, Just marry a good wife and have a lovely daughter.

They were only sixteen years old at that time, and he thought it was quite far away to talk about these issues.

But Yuanyuan is only for him. For people like Lin Cen, he has been considering these issues since he was a child.

After the meal, Jiangsu had to pay the bill, but Lin Cen preempted him: "You come to eat next to my house, and there is no reason for you to pay the bill."

It was half a semester higher, that is, that year, Lin Cen had borrowed money from Jiangsu once.

In fact, it’s not much, just tens of thousands of dollars. Although Jiang Yongzhi gave Jiang Su a lot of pocket money, he always let Secretary Li enter his card. He would know some money if Jiang Yongzhi moved, so Jiang Su When I gave Lin Cen the money, I asked Jiang Yongshi for it. At that time, Lin Cen also gave Jiang Yongshi an IOU because he was underage and used his father's name.

Lin Cen kept remembering the tens of thousands of dollars. When he came out of the food stall, Lin Cen lit a cigarette, maybe because he drank a little too much. He mentioned that again: "Jiangsu, I really thank you. I will pay you back the money at the beginning of the year, as I remember, I will pay you five ten-thousandths at the bank's highest interest."

Lin Cen also said, "You don't understand, I really appreciate you. In my brother's situation, it was too late for our relatives to hide. Since I was a child, I have realized what the world is cold. At that time, I really had nowhere to go. You mention, I really didn't think you would help me, I will always remember this love."

"You, Cheng Zhu, Xu Shu, I thank you all..."

Lin Cen was really a little drunk and kept talking about it.

His home was not far away, and he was a little worried about going back to Jiangsu alone, so he sent him back.

Then on the way, they met Yang Qin.

Yang Qin who hasn't seen him in more than a year.

He followed a group of fox friends and dog friends who had just finished eating, and his body was stained with alcohol.

…

The room was quiet, only Jiang Su's voice kept coming.

Lin Wei put her arms around her pillow and stared at Jiang Su listening attentively.

Jiang Su said this and stopped.

Lin Wei knew that the following story was the climax. She didn't interrupt him and gave him enough time to buffer.

"Yang Qin himself did not study well, so the family got a headache. After he was expelled from school in the third year of the junior high school, he did not go to school. He was not in a good mood, so he stopped me and Lin Cen."

Jiangsu's Adam's apple swallowed several mouthfuls, raised his eyelids and met Lin Wei's eyes: "He brought a knife."
