    Chapter Index

    The car stopped at the entrance of Baima Lane.

    Jiang Tian paid and got off the car first, but Sheng Wang didn’t come out yet.When he walked around to the other side, he discovered that the ancestor was holding a bag of medicine and sitting quietly inside waiting for someone to open the door, as if he had been spoiled by the driver.

    Jiang Tian opened the door angrily, stretched out one leg gracefully, smiled politely and said, “Thank you.”

    He had a schoolbag on one shoulder and medicine in his hand, so it was not very convenient to get out of the car.

    Jiang Tian held the car door and couldn’t stand it anymore. He stretched out his hand and said, “Give me the medicine.”

    Shengwang said very politely: “No.”

    Jiang Tian: “…”

    He had to change his suggestion: “Carry the schoolbag on both shoulders.”

    Sheng Wang said: “Ugly.”

    Jiang Tian was convinced.

    Sheng Wang stubbornly maintained the posture of carrying a bag on one shoulder and holding medicine in one hand. He got out of the car and walked deeper into the alley.He is not as clumsy as other drunkards. If some girls in the attached high school see him, he may have to blush and say that he is pleasing to the eye.

    …It’s just a little lonely.

    For a moment, Jiang Tian suspected that this man was not drunk at all, but was just acting out under the influence of alcohol. If he was really drunk, how could he care about his image so much.

    As a result, Sheng Wang, who had already walked far away, suddenly looked back at he and retreated back the same way.

    Jiang Tian thought the other party was waiting for him to leave together.Unexpectedly, Sheng Wang raised his chin and said, “Where is your cell phone?”

    “What for?”

    “Take it out and pat it.”

    “What are you taking pictures of?” Jiang Tian frowned and was confused, but he still put his hand into his pants pocket and took out his mobile phone with a little hesitation.

    he swiped the screen, and the interface jumped to the camera.

    In the camera, Sheng Wang stands under a streetlight, his shadow stretched by the light.He kicked the uneven ground with his toes and said, “This broken road is full of potholes, but I just walked straight. Did you see it?”

    Maybe the hoarse nasal voice unique to a cold was so deceptive. Jiang Tian put on a cold face that said “I don’t want to talk to you” and said in silence for a moment: “I saw it.”

    After saying that, he turned around to confirm——

    Thank God, the driver who brought them back had already left and disappeared. There were only two people in the alley, He and Sheng Wang, and no one else heard this silly conversation.

    “What’s the use of just seeing it.” The leader spoke again, “Photograph it.”

    “…”

    Jiang Tian looked at he in silence for a long time, flicked the camera mode with his thumb, and said in a low voice: “I believe you are really drunk.”

    The distance from the entrance of the alley to the ancestral home of the Sheng family was only three hundred meters. We walked for 20 minutes. Someone went back and forth three times. Jiang Tian spent half his life’s patience here.

    The noise they made when they entered the yard was a bit loud, and the people in the house should have heard it.Soon the door opened, and Jiang Ou leaned out of the door wearing a knitted sweater: “I’m finally back. Why are you two so late? I thought – what are you doing with your phone?”

    “Who knows.” Jiang Tian scoffed and put the phone back in his trouser pocket.

    He was invited to follow the whole process, and now there was an extra person. He really couldn’t afford to be embarrassed.

    “Come in quickly, why are you back together? I heard from Xiao Chen that Xiao Wang went to have dinner with his classmates.” Jiang Ou stepped aside to get out of the way, and Jiang Tian and Sheng Wang entered the door one after the other.

    Although Shengwang’s every move was very stable, except for a slight shake when he squatted down to change shoes, there was basically no major problem.But Jiang Ou sensed something was wrong for the first time. She turned to glare at Jiang Tian and asked in a low voice: “Did you take him to drink?”

    “Is it possible?” Jiang Tian said.

    “That’s right.” Jiang Ou knew his son very well. He didn’t even have to show up at that kind of dinner. How could he bring Sheng Wang there to have a drink? “Did he drink it himself?”

    “Yeah.”

    Sheng Wang squatted to untie his shoelaces, his fingers were clean and thin, and he could not see the clumsiness of a drunkard, but he looked too slow and leisurely.The plastic bag containing the medicine was placed at his feet. Jiang Tian bent down to get it, but he almost covered it with his quick eyes and hands.

    “I’ll get something.” Jiang Tian said.

    Sheng Wang raised his head and looked at him.Maybe it was because the distance was too close. He only glanced at it and then lowered his eyes. He said “Oh” and moved his hand halfway.

    Jiang Tian took out two dark green small round cans from the bag, straightened up and handed them to Jiang Ou.

    When she was burned before, Aunt Sun applied this to her. She was deeply impressed and recognized it at a glance.She stared at the small round can for a long time, then raised her head and said warmly: “Did you buy it specially?”

    Jiang Tian held on to the door frame to change his shoes and said without raising his head: “On the way.”

    “Tough talk.” Jiang Ou muttered, and then looked at Sheng Wang with a worried look: “Speaking of medicine, when I went out in the morning, I said he must have a cold. Listen to his nasal voice. I looked for medicine, but he drank so much wine, he can’t take it now.”

    “Forget it.” Jiang Tian glanced at Sheng Wang and said, “We’ll talk about it when we sober up.”

    Sheng Wangchuo pulled on his slippers and stood up, not forgetting to pick up the bag.Jiang Ou saw the name of Lieutenant Colonel Hospital attached to the bag, and asked Jiang Tian with some surprise: “Did you buy it for him?”

    “He bought it himself.”

    Jiang Tian picked up the strap of his schoolbag and started to go upstairs.

    “Eh? Don’t run.” Jiang Ou didn’t follow He in detail. He just grabbed He and said, “Take Xiao Wang to sit on the sofa for a while. I’ll make a glass of honey water.”

    Aunt Sun arranged everything in the kitchen. Jiang Ou had just arrived and was not used to it yet.She subconsciously opened the cabinet door on the far left and reached for the honey bottle, but found that the cabinet contained unused induction cookers and pots.

    She was stunned for a moment and stood in front of the cabinet for a long time.

    She can actually understand Jiang Tian’s various discomforts, because even she herself has not yet fully adapted to this place.She met Ji Huanyu when she was 15 years old, and she was with him when she was 18 years old. She got married at 22 years old, divorced at 34 years old, and then it took another 6 years before she moved away from the place where she had lived for a long time.

    How can it be possible to change the living habits of so many years at a moment’s notice?

    But she is actually very lucky. The divorce is only due to differences in concepts and will not cause any harm.Jiang Tian is so stable that no one needs to worry about her, Sheng Mingyang respects her very much, and even Ji Huanyu is still fulfilling his obligations as a biological father.

    At least these 40 years of her life were not in vain.

    Jiang Ou searched around the kitchen and then remembered that Aunt Sun had mentioned that honey she put on the top of the refrigerator.

    There is water hanging out in the kitchen. She has set the temperature and kept it at 40 degrees Celsius. It was originally reserved for Sheng Wang to take medicine.She made a cup, took a long-handled spoon and stirred as she walked towards the living room.

    The ceiling light in the living room was not turned on, and only the floor lamp next to the sofa was on. The warm light spread around, and the two boys sat under the lamp.

    Jiang Tian bent his long legs, and his knees were much higher than the sofa and coffee table.He bowed and took out a book from the schoolbag beside his legs, flipping through it boredly. The front of his wide school uniform drooped down, revealing the T-shirt underneath.

    Sheng Wang was sitting next to him, half a person away, not too far or too close.

    He crossed his legs, with a random pillow on his knees. One hand pressed on the pillow to support his head, and the other hand held a corner of the pillow boredly.

    He was looking at the void somewhere between the kitchen and the balcony, in a daze.

    Since they moved in, Sheng Wang was so relaxed in front of others for the first time.

    Jiang Ou is very self-aware. She knows that this kind of relaxation is definitely not because of herself, but more like a subconscious habit——

    Sheng Wang was used to sitting cross-legged on the corner of the sofa like this, waiting for someone for a long time.

    Jiang Ou paused for a moment, suddenly not knowing whether he should walk over or not.

    Jiang Tian caught a glimpse of her out of the corner of his eye and raised his head.

    he lowered the hand holding the book and asked, “Okay?”

    “Yes.” Jiang Ou then raised his foot again, stirred the honey water and walked over.

    The long-handled spoon clanged softly against the glass.Sheng Wang finally came back to his senses from sitting in silence for a long time. The moment he turned his face, his eyes were red.

    Even Jiang Tian was a little surprised.

    “Xiao Wang?” Jiang Ou called softly.

    Sheng Wang hurriedly lowered his eyes.He put on his slippers, carried his schoolbag and the bag of medicine and muttered: “I’m very sleepy, so I went up first.”

    “Eh?” Before Jiang Ou could say anything, he had already gone up the stairs. The sound of footsteps gradually entered the room, and then the door lock clicked, and there was no movement.

    Jiang Ou held the cup and sighed after a moment: “I guess I miss my mother.”

    After a while, Jiang Tian withdrew his gaze from the stairs. He moved his lips, but said nothing.

    “But you still have to drink the honey water. If you don’t get over the hangover, he will feel uncomfortable in the morning.” Jiang Ou muttered, “How about I bring it up to him.”

    But she hesitated.

    Boys at this age are particularly concerned about their own space and always try to separate themselves from their elders.You cannot enter the door casually, and you cannot touch things casually. The upstairs and downstairs are two independent worlds.

    She was worried when the cup in her hand was taken away.

    Jiang Tian held the glass and slung his schoolbag on his shoulder: “I’ll give it to him, and you go to bed.”

    Sheng Wang changed the plate and put it in another place.

    He sat on the bed and stared at the open schoolbag and the plastic bag containing medicine for a long time, unable to remember what he was going to do.

    Just when he was cross-legged and his legs were numb, something vibrated against his legs.

    Sheng Wang digested it for a while and took out his mobile phone from his pocket.

    There is a new message on WeChat.

    Jiang Tian:.

    Sheng Wang pressed the send button and said lazily: What are you doing——

    He suspects that the other party is confirming whether he is alive.

    Soon, the next message came.

    Jiang Tian: Is the door locked?

    Canned: “No—”

    Jiang Tian: Then I’m in.

    Shengwang: “?”

    He stared at the chat interface. Before he could react, he heard someone knock on the bedroom door, then unlocked it and came in.

    This should be Jiang Tian’s first time entering this bedroom, but he didn’t look around, didn’t wonder about the layout of the room, he just walked straight to the bed and put the glass on the bedside table.

    “Drink this.” Jiang Tian said.

    Maybe it was because it was late at night and the surroundings were too quiet, or maybe it was because they were so close.He has a very low voice, but you can clearly hear the slight grains in the timbre.

    Sheng Wang rubbed his right ear and said, “Oh, I’ll drink it later.”

    As a result, Jiang Tian couldn’t leave.

    Sheng Wang and He confronted each other for a while, but due to eyelid fighting and sleepiness, they were defeated unilaterally.He took the glass and drank it honestly.

    “What kind of water is this? It’s too sweet.” After drinking it, he realized that he was disgusted.

    “Water from the pot to relieve hangover.” Jiang Tian replied.

    Shengwang: “?”

    “Forget it.” Jiang Tian stretched out his hand and said, “Give me the cup.”

    “No.” Sheng Wang let He’s hand go, grabbed the cup and frowned, “Wait a minute, I have something to do.”

    “What?”

    “I don’t know. I didn’t remember it after thinking about it for a long time.”

    “…”

    Sheng Wang maintained this posture and pondered for a long time. In the corner of his eye, Jiang Tian retracted his outstretched hand and rested it on the back of the chair next to the table, waiting for him with little patience.

    Sheng Wang suddenly said “Oh” softly and said, “I remembered.”

    “Say.” Jiang Tian raised his chin.

    “Did you have something to say in the car?”

    “Is there any?” Jiang Tian said.

    He had no expression on his face. It was hard to tell whether he didn’t remember or if he was asking questions deliberately.

    “Yes.” The drunkard’s brain was very good at this time, and he could repeat the details: “I said that others thought we were familiar with each other, but in fact we didn’t say a few words at all. You said the truth, and then it disappeared.”

    Sheng Wang rested his elbows on his knees and held the cup loosely on his fingertips.he looked at Jiang Tian, ​​his eyes were coated with the light of the desk lamp, giving people the illusion that he was not drunk.

    “Actually what?” he asked.

    Jiang Tian tapped his fingers twice on the back of the chair and lowered his eyes, as if thinking about it.

    After a while, he finally said: “I said you can actually try it.”

    “What to try?”

    “Try it a little more cooked.”
