The summer in Rongcheng was extremely hot. Zhuang Fan was wearing an apron and drawing in his room. He hadn't moved his nest for four hours. Suddenly, he heard a very energetic dog barking, so loud, as if it was right in front of their house.
Zhuang Fanxin put down the palette and looked outside on the balcony. Outside the gate, an old man passed by with a German shepherd. The old man's surname was Xue and he lived alone next door to their house. Zhuang Fanxin took the initiative to say hello and called "Grandpa Xue".
Xue Maochen stopped and beckoned to Zhuang Fanxin: "Xiao Zhuang, come down and play!"
Zhuang Fanxin ran downstairs, walked through the small garden in front of the building, and stopped at the gate. Mu slammed hard. He liked kittens and puppies since he was a child, but unfortunately his mother wouldn't let them.
Xue Maochen looked at him: "The apron is full of paint, how about painting?"
Zhuang Fan said "um", the excitement between his eyebrows has not faded, and asked: "Grandpa Xue, do you want to have a dog?" I feel that the dog is still young Xiao, "How old is it?"
Xue Maochen said, "It's just one year old, and it's not stingy."
Zhuang Fanxin looked down at the dog's butt. The little male dog has been neutered and will be single in this life. He stroked the dog's head with pity, and asked, "Grandpa, what's its name?"
Xue Maochen said, "I haven't named it yet, I just brought it back." The old man couldn't hide his joy, he squatted down, and said something like a state secret "This dog was prepared for my grandson, and he was named after him."
Zhuang Fan was slightly surprised and looked up at Xue Maochen with an unexpected look. Don't blame him, he has been a neighbor for many years, and he has hardly seen any of Xue Maochen's relatives. The old man lives alone, has a driver and a nanny, and travels for two months. Everyone thinks that Xue Maochen was a Dink when he was young, and he was an empty nest when he was old. Xue Maochen glanced at Zhuang Fanxin
, scolded him for being a little fool, then took out a packet of biscuits from his pocket and said, "Xiao Zhuang, here, you take it."
The word, it is best not to be chocolate, he does not like to eat chocolate.
Xue Maochen said happily: "These are the biscuits that the dog eats. Put a pack in your place. Someday the dog will run out, so you can help me stop it." into the apron pocket. He lowered his head and looked at the German Shepherd's limbs, thinking to himself, can he catch up with this dog when it runs wildly? Feeling choked up.
He thought for the best: "Grandpa, your grandson is here, you should be able to take good care of it, right?"
Unexpectedly, Xue Maochen shook his head: "It's hard to say, that's also a sloppy age.
" Chatting in front of the door was so hot that he blushed and sweated, and the German Shepherd didn't bother to cry. He lay down under the shade of the tree with his tongue out.
Zhuang Fan wiped his sweat and said, "Grandpa, why don't you come to my house for some tea?"
Xue Maochen said, "Don't be polite, I guess my grandson is coming soon and it
's time to go back." Huaqiang, before leaving, Xue Maochen patted Zhuang Fanxin on the shoulder and said, "Want to have dinner at our house in the evening? Hu Jiejing made a delicious meal today, such as minced garlic and clear abalone, sweet teal duck, coconut taro ice..."
Zhuang Fanxin said regretfully: "I don't eat garlic, nor taro."
He gave three examples, and he didn't eat either. Xue Maochen slashed Zhuang Fanxin's face and scolded: "Why are you so picky eaters? Look at you thin. Oh, why didn't the typhoon blow you to Shenzhen last year?" The
old man was very strong, Zhuang Fan covered his face with a "uh", and before he cared about the pain, he saw De Mu jumped up suddenly, facing a dozen meters. The small road outside was barking wildly.
He turned in an off-road vehicle and was driven by Xue Maochen's driver. The old man said happily, "I'm picking it up!"
Zhuang Fanxin covered his face and looked at the strong sunlight reflected by the windshield. . With a red shirt, double ponytails, and a Disney schoolbag, this grandson is too good at dressing up.
Two or three meters apart, the off-road vehicle turned off, and the "grandson" in the co-pilot jumped out of the car. Only then did Zhuang Fanxin see clearly that she was a seven or eight-year-old girl.
Xue Maochen didn't expect his granddaughter to come too. It was a pleasant surprise. He was afraid to frighten the child. He took two steps carefully, opened his arms, picked him up and weighed them.
The little girl's name is Gu Baoyan, she pouted, and it took a long time to call someone cautiously. A "grandfather" coaxed Xue Maochen into laughing and asked questions, as if he forgot that it was his grandson who was waiting.
Gu Baoyan looked down and saw the German Shepherd running around and said, "My brother likes dogs."
Xue Maochen finally remembered and asked, "Where is your brother?"
Gu Baoyan pointed to the car: "Sleep in the back."
Just after saying that, the rear door opened, A tall boy came down, with his head slightly lowered, unable to see the expression on his face. He closed the car door in one hand and held headphones and a little sister's stuffed toy in the other.
The stuffed toy was a little shrivelled, and it was obviously thrown all the way, and now it was being lifted by its ears. Zhuang Fanxin looked at the boy, the shirt, jeans, sneakers, or the whole body seemed simple, but nothing was under four digits, and the watch had to add two more zeros. He took a step back, wearing a dirty apron, which was really unsightly. How could he just take a step back when Xue Maochen's big hand pressed against him and said, "Xiao Zhuang, this is my grandson, Gu Zhuoyan." Zhuang Fanxin had no choice but to respond: "Hi, I'm Zhuang Fanxin , and I live here." In a word, Gu Zhuoyan's eyes fell on Zhuang Fanxin. He watched the clouds in the cabin, and the lush trees in Banyan City in the off-road vehicle. At this moment, he saw Zhuang Fanxin, a boy in an apron, his complexion was very white, and a patch of green paint was on his exposed forearm. Gu Zhuoyan's eyes were so direct, she moved to Zhuang Fanxin's face, and saw a pair of big, beautiful eyes, three-dimensional facial features, and fluffy and curly hair tips. His words were more straightforward: "Mixed blood?" Zhuang Fan was stunned: "Type A blood mixed with type B blood..."
He raised his hand to touch his face, and only remembered when his hand touched his cheek. The cut face still hurts. At this time, Gu Zhuoyan approached, it was really tall, and it even blocked a piece of sunlight in front of him.
Xue Maochen was still immersed in joy and said, "Xiao Zhuang, he is new here, you are about the same age, you can take him around to play when you have time."
Zhuang Fanxin looked at Gu Zhuoyan and smiled, "No problem, Rongcheng welcomes you. ."
Gu Zhuoyan smiled slightly, which was a response, but the lightness was fleeting, it seemed that he was in a bad mood, and he could not see the slightest love for this city.
After the car was parked and the suitcases were removed one by one, Xue Maochen asked, "That's right, why is Baoyan here?"
Gu Zhuoyan said, "I said that I would go to Disney's summer camp, but she had to come with me."
Only then did Gu Baoyan wake up: "Brother, you lied to me?"
Gu Zhuoyan said, "When will I not lie to you?"
Gu Baoyan collapsed, jumped down and chased his own brother to fight, but Gu Zhuoyan was tall and had long legs, so he wouldn't let him at all. Sister smothered. Xue Maochen couldn't stop laughing, he led the dog and followed behind, and went home to enjoy family happiness.
In the evening, Zhuang Fanxin finished painting and was invited to dinner at Xue Maochen's house. His mother Zhao Jianqiu was a well-known horticultural designer in the country, and the most important thing in the house were flowers and plants, so he picked out a few pots of flowers as gifts for his meals. There are only a few villas in this old alley, no one is next to each other, and they are separated by a certain distance. Zhuang Fanxin walked slowly with his suitcase in his arms, and before he reached the door, he heard the voice of the German shepherd. The door of Xue's house was open, Gu Zhuoyan was teasing the dog in the garden, when he saw a figure in the corner of the corner, looked up and saw Zhuang Fanxin standing by the door. The angle is very clever, the top of Zhuang Fanxin's head is just a sunset, it's red, I can't tell whether Zhuang Fanxin's shirt is white or orange, the face is really three-dimensional, the light is bright and dark, like an oil painting . Zhuang Fan's heart moved: "Can you pick me up?"
Gu Zhuoyan walked over reluctantly and took the box, which was very heavy and contained several pots of blooming flowers. When he walked to the front of the building, the box was placed on the steps, and the two stood idly.
Zhuang Fanxin had just taken a shower, the ends of his hair were still dry, and his curly hair was not curved. Gu Zhuoyan glanced at him and asked casually, "Natural curls?"
He replied, "It's hot, it's summer vacation.
" The atmosphere gradually turned cold again, and Zhuang Fan thought, "I still have tattoos, do you want to see them?"
According to his estimation, Gu Zhuoyan must not be interested in reading it because he was so cold, but he asked all the questions, and that would be too humiliating. So without waiting for the other person to answer, he climbed the first step, got closer, and then pulled the collar aside.
There was a small heart written on the thin left shoulder, and the lines were very thin, as if it was placed on the collarbone. Gu Zhuoyan looked down, not only could he see it clearly, he could even smell the scent of the shower gel on Zhuang Fanxin's body.
Zhuang Fanxin forced others to read it, and was a little ashamed, so he squatted down to tease the dog, and changed the subject to ask what name the dog should be named.
Gu Zhuoyan said, "PC39747."
Zhuang Fan was taken aback for a moment. It shouldn't be against the law to pretend to be a police dog, right? At this time, Xue Maochen was calling for them to eat in the building. He hooked his hand at De Mu and ordered, "PC39727, let's eat!" He
couldn't remember the five numbers correctly. Gu Zhuoyan frowned on his expressionless face. Knowing that it wasn't over yet, Zhuang Fanxin raised his face to look at him and said, "Xue Baoyan? Eat." He
could remember two of the three words incorrectly. He even helped follow his mother's surname. Gu Zhuoyan said coldly, "My name is Xue Baochai."
Gu Zhuoyan's handsome face did not clear up until he entered the restaurant and was seated. Of course, he had never been happy since he arrived in Rongcheng. The corners of Zhuang Fan's mouth rose, and when the champagne opened, he also cooperated with Xue Maochen to clink glasses.
The table was full, and in addition to the dishes cooked by the nanny Sister Hu, Xue Maochen also baked pizza himself.
Zhuang Fan felt that Gu Zhuoyan was in a low mood, so he didn't bother and ate the pizza silently. After dinner, he took Gu Baoyan to plant flowers in the garden, coaxing the little girl into confusion, almost recognizing him as a godfather.
Later, Zhuang Fanxin washed her hands and went home, and said goodbye to Gu Baoyan and De Mu at the gate. He squatted down and said, "Little girl, you are very tired from flying, so go to bed early." The
little girl likes big brother, the truth of the universe, Gu Baoyan said obediently: "Brother Zhuang, I will water the flowers when I get up tomorrow."
Zhuang Fan smiled heartily. , and said to German Shepherd, "PC39787, go find me for biscuits tomorrow."
Gu Zhuoyan came over to look for the child and the dog. He happened to hear it, but he didn't bother to correct anything, so he just stood aside with his pocket in his pocket. Zhuang Fanxin stood up, waved his hand and joked, "Baochai, bye."
Gu Zhuoyan asked, "What is your name?"
Zhuang Fanxin replied, "Zhuang Fanxin, can you remember?"
Gu Zhuoyan said, " Ordinary fan, sad heart?"
Zhuang Fan thought: "It's extraordinary fan, happy heart."
This is a retaliation for him, Zhuang Fanxin pursed his lips, showing both weakness and affection. The old lamp on the door was not very bright, and he could only see the scene within two meters in front of him. He walked back and suddenly stood still when he was about to reach two meters away.
Zhuang Fan asked in his heart, "You don't remember me at all?"
Gu Zhuoyan was stunned for a moment, staring at each other under the dim light, as if he was really familiar. Gradually, the scene from three years ago appeared in front of him. He bumped into a boy outside Zhuang Fanxin's house.
It was the Spring Festival, and Zhuang Fanxin went to the countryside to sketch. He caught a cold the night before departure. He felt dizzy when he left the next day. As soon as he walked out of the gate, he bumped into Gu Zhuoyan, who was passing by.
With a bulging bag on his back, he sat down on the ground because of the imbalance, and then complained confusedly: "—I was hit by you."
Gu Zhuoyan stretched out his hand to pull Zhuang Fanxin up, apologized, and responded: " Who made you so thin."
Zhuang Fanxin only thought that the other party lived in a nearby neighborhood and was celebrating the New Year, and it wasn't intentional. He hurried away, took out a bag of candy in his pocket, stuffed it into Gu Zhuoyan, and added "Happy New Year".
He went to the country for a week, and when he came back, Gu Zhuoyan had already left. He didn't know it was Xue Maochen's grandson, and he never saw each other again. Unexpectedly, today, three years later, they met again.
After recalling, Zhuang Fan asked, "Do you remember?"
Gu Zhuoyan laughed and said, "I remember."
After all, this was his first real smile today.
Zhuang Fanxin waved his hand: "I'm going home."
He turned and walked away, his slightly curly hair trembling with the night wind, like the tip of a wild cat's tail swaying while running.
Gu Zhuoyan also closed the door and went home. The memory of a few steps away suddenly became clear. The boy who was knocked away by him, the nasally "Happy New Year", and the
candy stuffed for him... Zhuang Fanxin stuffed it with him back then. His, obviously is a packet of cold granules.
