The boy leaned against the wall and smoked half a cigarette.

He had sharp eyebrows and a rebellious body. He seemed to not understand that the adult world needed to care about other people's eyes, and spoke bluntly and boldly, and provocatively.

The other two people were surprised or disdainful in their eyes, but they had nothing to do with him.

Of course, he thought he had a fair temper. If it weren't for the effect of this cigarette refreshing the mind, he would probably not have the patience to appreciate the other person's face change here.

Sometimes a cigarette can forcefully suppress the stinky temper that is about to come out, and it can make people calm down quickly. I am afraid that my sister will not like the wonderful nights being broken by disputes, nor will she like the tobacco smell dyed on his fingertips.

He let out his last long smoke and snatched it out in front of the sink.

He raised his eyes at the mirror, and asked the person behind him by using reflection: What else do you want to say?

This strange sense of oppression came again.

Xiao Kai exchanged glances with his friend and shook his head quickly: "I won't bother you, brother..."

It is difficult to say the word "brother" at this moment.

Xiao Kai tilted his head and spat, leaving the scene with his friends quickly.

Xie Xing was too lazy to look at the irrelevant person, and he stood on the sink and looked at himself without saying a word. The warm yellow mirror light hit him from top to bottom, shimmering the originally thick black hair like ink into an orange-yellow outline.

He pulled the collar irritably, and the blue veins hidden under his fair skin were slightly raised between his neck. The sunken collarbone was filled with lights.

After pulling it hard for a few times, I let go. A circle of collar around my neck was folded loosely and fitted with my collarbone.

He seemed satisfied, and lowered his hands and rinsed carefully the tobacco smell on his fingers again. The rubbed fingers made the gaps red, and only the faint lemon smell of hand sanitizer was left.

After coming out of the bathroom, Pei Zhi was tilting her head and listening to Jiang Ruizhi's speech.

Her back was facing her. Two spotlights on the bar hit her back side, with long hair dispersed, making her back lines look particularly slender.

It seemed that she had something funny, and when she smiled, her shoulder line trembled a few times. Just looking at one back, Xie Xing could imagine her serious expression with her eyebrows and eyes as she listened quietly to others.

Jiang Ruizhi noticed that he came back first, and put his wrist on his forehead and waved to him: "Just now, your sister asked if she wanted to go to you."

Pei Zhi turned her head and saw him, her eyes curled up in a beautiful curve: "Are you back?"

"Yeah." The boy pulled the collar as if nothing had happened, and leaned back into the sofa with his legs open. "What are you talking about in my sister? I'm so happy."

"I'm so laughing. I don't know what happened if you didn't exist."

Jiang Ruizhi was in a good mood. "The guy who had come to talk before came again with a shame. He sipped 'you' like his grandmother, and asked: 'Where is Mr. Pei now? If you have the chance to come out to gather more.' I laughed at me for a long time, is he drunk? Or is he wrong?"

Xie Xing said oh and laughed: "And what."

"Then Azhi said she wouldn't talk about it anymore and she worked. He didn't believe it, and insisted that Mr. Pei looked down on him. Hahahahahaha, I'm crazy, this oil-faced monster must have drunk too much."

Unexpectedly, this little Kai is quite able to bend and stretch. He will take another round after washing his hands.

Xie Xing raised his hand and supported the corner of his eyes. His eyes stopped not far away for a while before returning to Pei Zhi. When he met her eyes, he blinked slowly and asked in a low voice: "Are you still unhappy?"

Pei Zhi didn't take it seriously at first, and was slightly stunned when she heard this. She realized what he was referring to. Her heart was warm and she smiled and said, "No, it's a waste of time to get angry with an irrelevant person."

Her eyes flowed and fell on the fair skin of the boy's neck.

I don’t know if it’s an illusion, but I always feel that when he came back from the bathroom, the collar seemed to be wider and wider, just swaying in front of me.

She raised the glass beside her hand, blocked the white swaying, and pretended to touch him: "Life is to be happy."

The bubble water hit a layer of fine bubbles on the wall of the cup and jumped rhythmically. The two cups met together and made a crisp knock. The boy raised his head and took a few mouthfuls, feeling relieved.

***

I ate and drank for a whole night. When I was paying the bill, I saw that the greasy little tax had already settled the bill and asked the waiter to write his mobile phone number on a small note and handed it to Pei Zhi.

Pei Zhi smiled and didn't answer. She heard that Xiao Kai had applied for a membership card here, so she turned around and recharged the wine money on the other party's card and threw away the note.

That night, Jiang Ruizhi was the only one who drank the wine.

Because Xie Xing was present, it was not until 11 o'clock in the evening when he came out of the bar.

Pei Zhi wanted to send Jiang Ruizhi home first, but she did not forget Xie Xing came to her today to change the camera. However, she forgot about this a little earlier, so the camera also landed at home.

During the break when she was hesitant, Xie Xing had already made a decision. He arched his body on the car frame and looked at her wearing a seat belt, saying, "It's still early, I'm not in a hurry to go home. Sister, click slowly, I'll go to Huajingyuan to wait for you."

"Then do you want to go upstairs and sit for Lao Pei for a while?" Pei Zhi glanced at the time, "He must have not been asleep yet."

"It depends on the situation. I got to contact Teacher Pei myself."

After saying that, he stood up straight, took a step back, and handed in his pocket and raised the corner of his lower lip, "Open it slowly."

The car windows move up at a constant speed to isolate the hustle and bustle flowing in the night.

Pei Zhi lowered the air conditioner and waited quietly.

The car was driven for only more than ten meters, and Jiang Ruizhi couldn't help but start to test: "Tell me honestly, what's the relationship?"

She had already prepared and replied: "My father's student is just this relationship."

"I don't think it looks like it." Jiang Ruizhi said while recalling, "You didn't see that the child's eyes were always stuck to you? I'm still there. If I weren't there, don't you think there was something in his eyes when you were alone?"

This is the crux of the problem.

When the two were alone, Pei Zhi rarely looked at him directly. His eyes were like a vast ocean with whirlpools and reefs, which could easily attract her emotions and wander around.

He said that the sister would keep teaching me to take pictures, and she looked into his eyes, as if she couldn't refuse.

Some developments are out of control.

She was also wondering whether the child had some adult male and female meaning to her. Why?

Did your lips accidentally touch her cheek?

Chat with her frequently?

Youth is ignorant?

It sounds quite unreliable.

The other party may not understand it even though she is young. She is five years older and can’t fool the child into taking this vague favor and love, right?

Pei Zhi also had a headache. After hearing Jiang Ruizhi say it slowly, she asked back: "Then do you understand what children are thinking nowadays?"

"I don't understand." Jiang Ruizhi admitted frankly, "So I don't want to deal with children. If you have the skills to raise a boyfriend like taking care of a child, why don't you find a mature and steady person? I don't have that to do anything. I'm very worried."

After she said that, she found that the other party had successfully played Tai Chi, and she didn't answer anything, and asked: "So what are you? What's your thoughts?"

"I don't know." Pei Zhi also told the truth, "Look, I'll try to guide the right way."

When you arrive at Jiang Ruizhi's house, you need to drive a ten-minute elevated road in the opposite direction.

But at midnight, the elevated roof is empty.

On the way back, Pei Zhi received a call from Lao Pei.

She thought Xie Xing had arrived in Huajing Garden, so she asked, "The person has arrived?"

"Who is here?" Pei Zhongnan was puzzled, "Where are you?"

Pei Zhi responded casually and was too lazy to explain: "It's nothing, I've read the phone wrong. What's your matter?"

"As soon as you get home, what time do you get home? Bring me a box of it."

Pei Zhi nodded: "Okay. It's about ten minutes."

"Open slowly, no hurry." Pei Zhongnan instructed, "The pharmacy at the entrance of the community has closed long ago. There is a 24-hour home at the intersection. There is a home in the corner, do you know?"

"I know, don't worry."

Pei Zhi hung up the phone and opened it back, and the night view quickly retreated by the window.

She drove alone, and her mind was particularly clear.

It is easy to judge whether you have a good impression of a person when you are so old. When you chat with him, the corners of your mouth will rise. When you are idle, the same figure will always flash in your mind. You always click into the chat box to see if there is any unread information.

If this is not enough, when it comes to summer, she would remember that the weather is very hot and the scenery is beautiful.

Now, on this basis, I will also remember that the boy rubbed her thin lips on her cheeks, like the unmelted vanilla ice cream.

But for this alone, she was unwilling to try it.

If you really invest in a relationship and find that it is just an illusion that the other party is young and immature, it would be too hurtful.

She smiled as if she was worrying about nothing.

Maybe she was worried for a long time alone, and when she was with her, she might be purely self-indulgent.

Ten minutes later, the car slowly stopped at the bend of the intersection.

There is a short road from the main entrance of Huajingyuan. There is a 24-hour pharmacy at the corner on the side. It is opposite a small square in front of the pharmacy. In the evening, the barbecue shop in the alley next door was out of the city management constraints, so it was moved to the square openly.

On a hot summer night, ice beer and barbecue seem to have become a standard pastime.

Pei Zhi bought the medicine and walked through the small square to the side of the road. After a few steps, someone patted her right shoulder.

She turned her head and saw a strange man wearing an I-shaped vest.

Seeing her face, she showed doubts and grinned with an I-shaped vest: "Sister, please have a barbecue."

"No, thank you."

She refused calmly and turned around and continued to walk to the side of the road.
