Self-cultivation with a plate of tomato scrambled eggs

Chapter 23

Long before Song and Li set off for the capital, no tickets for high-speed trains, high-speed trains or ordinary express tickets from Liangxi back to Beijing were available. The two had no choice but to quickly grab the NO. A bus ticket.

Even so, there is no need to transfer after getting on the train in Mucheng, but Song Xiaowu still feels apprehensive when he thinks about the nearly eight-hour drive.

What's more, I can still be regarded as "slightly ill" at the moment.Song Xiaowu was worrying, when he saw Li Tianqi spread a cushion on the inner seat, turned around and waved to Song Xiaowu: "Sit down, I'll put things away."

Song Xiaowu was a little unresponsive, and sat down in a daze, and then turned his head to look at Li Tianqi who was putting luggage on the shelf above his head. I had come down to work with him a long time ago, and I couldn't help but reflect on myself: "Is it because I'm not a qualified little gong, or is Da Lizi not a qualified little shou?" He glanced at Li Tianqi's strong abdominal muscles that were vaguely exposed because of the raised arms, Song Xiaowu felt relieved in an instant: "Never mind him, touch it first and then talk."

The body moves with the heart, not wanting to be caught by Li Tianqi as soon as the paw touches the ground: "Don't wave." Song Xiaowu laughed endlessly: I guess Da Lizi wanted to say this last night, but who would really want to say that at that time? what?

The wrist was pulled back, Li Tianqi sat down next to him, but he still didn't let go, just looked at Song Xiaowu silently, his eyes were a little dangerous, Song Xiaowu instinctively tucked his tail, calmed down for 2 minutes, and went back to his old ways Went to Li Tianqi's ear, and whispered: "Oh, it's a pity that I forgot to bring the red sheet..." Li Tianqi obviously squeezed his hand a little more, but his face was completely unmoved: "Go to sleep for a while." , and wait until the service area to buy you something to eat."

Song Xiaowu, who had only drank the thick rice soup on the surface of a bowl of black fish porridge before, was reminded, and took out another plum candy, tore off the package and stuffed it into his mouth, but he still didn't intend to sleep at all: "Daddy Li Zi..." But he was suppressed by force by Li Tianqi, and he patted his face: "Sleep."

oh.Song Xiaowu replied unconvinced

Seeing Song Xiaowu close his eyes, but the eyeballs were still spinning left and right under the thin eyelids, Li Tianqi sighed helplessly. Of course he knew that Song Xiaowu was a little restless at the moment, but Song Xiaowu might have said it himself It wasn't clear, but he knew very well in his heart that the three words Song Xiaowu uttered last night when he was in a trance, were branded on the tip of his heart like a soldering iron, and he couldn't get around it even if he wanted to.

Precisely because I used to be too reckless and arrogant, after I learned a lesson, I overcorrected like this, looking forward and backward, never refusing to face up to the love in Song Xiaowu's eyes, compromising to the point of not acknowledging that this so-called "like" has gone far beyond its definition, Li Tianqi always tried to control everything to the extent that Song Xiaowu would be happy without having to pay a painful price in the future, but he still failed to keep the bottom line of losing every step of the way. He was trapped by himself for too long, and finally he was willing to look up, and then he woke up : What kind of fate Song Xiaowu will have, and what kind of path he will take in the future, is not guaranteed to be smooth sailing by avoiding those "bad" options for him all the way. He cannot deprive Song Xiaowu of those things that he is willing to pay the price for The right to try too.

As for the future, Li Tianqi knew that at least he would not be the one who deserted.

The car drove for more than three hours and stopped in the service area to rest for 10 minutes.Seeing Song Xiaowu lazily nestled in the soft cushioned seat, Li Tianqi yawned comfortably, obviously not planning to get out of the car, so he told him: "I'll go down for a while, and you should pay attention. "

"Well, I know."

Li Tianqi went to the bathroom, and after he came out, he bought some biscuits, toffee and beef sticks in the store for dinner, and saw that the boss had a juicer next to the cashier, and the boss was busy cutting fruit into pieces. After putting it in, Li Tianqi took out money and bought another cup. Although the price was obviously a scam, it was still fresh and without any additives.

When I got back to the car, I saw Song Xiaowu ran to the back row at some point, helping the girl next to him to quarrel with another girl who was sitting. Li Tianqi frowned slightly, and then he noticed that the suspicious-looking Man, there are not many passengers on this bus, Li Tianqi doesn't remember seeing this face before.

The man hadn't got a shot at all, and was about to leave, when he sensed Li Tianqi's gaze, he hurriedly staggered away as if nothing had happened, and staggered towards the middle door.Li Tianqi didn't chase after him, and let him get off the car and leave.

The girl with short gray hair standing next to Song Xiaowu patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you, handsome guy." Then she said to the girl with long curly hair who hadn't figured out the situation yet: "Oh, girl, don't put your bag behind your back when you ride next time. .The sound of the earphones is still so loud..."

Only now did the long-haired girl realize that the other party just ran over and yelled at her inexplicably, reminding herself to look after her handbag, blushing immediately, and hurriedly said: "I'm sorry, just now..."

The short gray hair waved his hand nonchalantly: "It's okay, I was quite crazy like that just now, I could pretend to know you and come over to say hello, but I'm afraid that the thief will see that I am helping you."

Li Tianqi heard the general story, and he knew better than the other three that the man was probably a habitual thief, and he was not alone. Maybe there is someone's stronghold near the service area, and he will pass by here in the future You should be more careful, but let's not talk about it for the time being, it will make the three of them fearful.

He walked over with his usual expression, and called, "Xiao Wu." Song Xiaowu turned his head, with a surprised expression on his face: "Hey, there are freshly squeezed juices for sale here..." He took it from Li Tianqi's hand, "Why did you only buy it? A cup? How about you?"

"I drink green tea, this is too sweet." Li Tianqi opened the bag and let Song Xiaowu look inside: "There are toffee!" Take it out and have a closer look.It still tastes like red beans.

Song Xiaowu quickly unwrapped the package, gave one to each of the two girls beside him, and stuffed another to Li Tianqi. He didn't have a pocket for his own clothes, so he took the bag directly from Li Tianqi, peeled off the candy wrapper and threw it into his mouth: " You can eat one, this brand is not particularly sweet."

The four of them naturally sat together—to be precise, Song Xiaowu and the two girls felt it was very natural.Li Tianqi just came with Song Xiaowu, so it doesn't matter.

Bringing the two people's luggage together with the cushion, Li Tianqi threw the cushion on the seat where Song Xiaowu was going to sit: "There are probably still people getting on the bus at the next toll booth, so don't take up too much space."

This is true. There are not many passengers on the bus in Mucheng. The driver naturally has to pick up some people on the road for the sake of efficiency. This is also the reason why the seats on the bus can not be assigned according to the number.

He moved smoothly, and the reason was justified, Song Xiaowu continued to sit on the cushion with a calm face, and discussed with the two girls sitting in front of the variety show that the long curly hair was watching just now - swollen "face" to pretend to be fat It's nothing, but when it's his butt's turn to suffer, he can't bear it.

When Song Xiaowu came here, he only cared about secretly feeling sorry for Li Tianqi all the way, but he didn't realize that the drive back was longer now, only then did he remember that Li Tianqi was always "boring but not coquettish" outside.How could Song Xiaowu bear the loneliness of his mouth?But it's not that he didn't think about flirting with him vigorously, but he didn't persevere - it wasn't that Song Xiaowu's face became thinner, but that he still didn't have the guts to bear the consequences of flirting with Li Tianqi.

Therefore, in the second half of the drive, it was a surprise to meet two girls who were similar in age and could get along well. Song Xiaowu was so happy that he even deliberately led the conversation of the two girls to Li Tianqi, who was trying to be the background board. Damn, even if he was sure, Li Tianqi would never say anything about him in front of others, and as for after returning home... brother Tianqi would not be willing either!

Talking and laughing along the way, the time passed quickly, and when they got off the bus, they still waved their hands and said goodbye. The short gray hair looked at the long curly hair a little funny He simply hugged the other person's shoulders and took them to another exit: "Let's go, sister. Everyone has gone a long way." Didn't you see that those two are a couple?

The "couple" who has been seen through has arrived at the subway station.Li Tianqi was standing in front of the ticket vending machine to take out some change, while Song Xiaowu waited beside him, yawning violently, and finally touched his stomach: "I'm a little hungry. Go back and sleep first or eat something? I'm so sleepy..."

Li Tianqi said in his heart, I think you are still very energetic, he plucked his hair helplessly, put a card into his hand, and picked up his luggage: "Let's go, go back."

Line [-] had just left, and there were only a few passengers waiting for it. Song Xiaowu became more energetic and was about to tease Li Tianqi again, but the other party had already handed the phone to him.Song Xiaowu was stunned for a moment, and then saw his elder brother's number on the screen.

"Where are you now?" Song Xiaowu hadn't finished calling "Brother", when he heard Yao Jian ask, his tone seemed...a bit harsh?

Song Xiaowu hurriedly replied: "I'm back, waiting for the subway... Oh, I'm going up..."

"Stand there and don't move." Yao Jian interrupted him, "I'll send someone to pick you up right away." Song Xiaowu was taken aback, but Yao Jian didn't give him the slightest chance to refute: "Stand where you are, don't go anywhere. "

"Is Dad healthy?" Before Yao Jian hung up the phone, Song Xiaowu finally asked the question he was most concerned about. Yao Jian paused, and his tone became softer: "I'll find out when I get back."

Yao Jian's car did come very quickly, but apart from the familiarity of the driver, he didn't even know anyone who came to pick up Song Xiaowu at the subway station. Coupled with the other party's attitude that he obviously didn't plan to bring Li Tianqi along, Song Xiaowu couldn't help but feel that this atmosphere It was a bit uncomfortable, Li Tianqi didn't show anything, he just told him: "I'll wait for you at home, call me if you need anything."
