Old Master Song rubbed his hands together and asked Song Bai for the eighteenth time with an incredulous look on his face, "Is your brother really going to play basketball?"
Mr. Song is very grateful that Song Lan can go to school normally.
Now, he is going to participate in tomorrow's basketball game?
what does that mean!
It means that he wants to join group activities, it means that he wants to integrate into the crowd, it means that he may really not want to die.
Old Master Song's eyes were filled with tears and he grabbed Song Bai's arm.
Song Bai looked excited. "That's what he just said. He said it to Feng Moshan himself."
Mr. Song slapped his head and said, "Hey, I'm going to have a cigarette!"
…
The school basketball game lasted for two weeks.
Song Lan's class lost to Class 2 by three points in the final championship match.
But we won against Class 8.
"Hey! Those bastards from Class 8, from now on, when I pass by their classroom door, I have to shout out 'Number Five', hahahaha!"
"Great! As long as we beat Class 8, I'll be satisfied!"
"I didn't expect Song Lan to actually be able to play basketball."
"Don't call him Bi Wang anymore. He's a nice guy. I stepped on him a few times while playing basketball. I thought he was going to get mad, but nothing happened."
"A few days ago, after school, I saw him crying in the alley next to the school. I don't know why, but he was crying miserably."
"Is this true?"
"Really? He was crying and seemed to be talking about looking for his mom or something like that? I didn't hear it clearly. After all, it's not good to overhear someone saying that behind their back. As soon as I saw it was him, I left immediately."
The group of people playing basketball were talking at once, very excited—
The sports committee member shouted, "Old Zhao said, let's have hot pot tonight!"
"yeah!"
A group of young boys immediately burst into cheers.
Feng Moshan nudged Song Lan with his arm and said, "We'll definitely have to drink alcohol during the hot pot tonight. Let's get Lao Zhao drunk then."
Lao Zhao is their class teacher.
Song Lan glanced at him and said, "I'm not going. I don't like hot pot." He paused and said, "Don't force Lao Zhao to drink. He was taking medicine a few days ago."
Feng Moshan was speechless. "Why are you so disappointing? We've already played ball, so what's wrong with having a meal together? If you don't like it, just eat less."
As he was saying this, Feng Moshan walked out of the school gate and saw the child standing at the entrance of the alley.
The child obviously saw them as well, his face immediately lit up with excitement and he waved at them.
Song Lan said to Feng Moshan, "I have an appointment with him. You guys go have dinner."
After saying that, without waiting for Feng Moshan's reaction, he strode towards the child opposite.
Feng Moshan was so angry that he roared from behind, "Is she your wife? Why are you so anxious?"
…
"Did you lose the game?"
As soon as Song Lan walked over, Jiang Mingxi asked immediately.
Song Lan had never seen anyone ask someone so excitedly about losing a game.
But when he caught a glimpse of the lollipop Jiang Mingxi hid behind her back, Song Lan's expressionless face turned a little sad. "Yeah."
Jiang Mingxi immediately raised the lollipop in his hand and pushed it towards Song Lan, "Eat the candy, and you won't be sad after eating it. Hey, it's a competition, there are wins and losses. If you lose this time, you can win next time.
"I took the exam and got 48 points last time. This time I got 65 points, which means I passed.
“Life is just like this, it’s full of ups and downs.”
Song Lan: ...
His usually expressionless face almost laughed out loud.
He took the lollipop and pinched Jiang Mingxi's face, "Yeah."
Jiang Mingxi tilted his head back, looking at him with his dark eyes, "Are you feeling better now?"
Song Lan: ...
Squeezing the lollipop, "Better."
Jiang Mingxi immediately smiled and breathed a sigh of relief.
Song Lan thought to herself: How cute.
It was almost dinner time when Song Lan asked him, "Let's have dinner together tonight. After dinner, I'll take you back to the orphanage, okay?"
Jiang Mingxi said, "Then I need to talk to the dean's mother first."
"What do you want to eat?" Song Lan asked as he took out his cell phone to call him.
Jiang Mingxi immediately said, "Hot pot, hot pot, hot pot. I love hot pot the most. Do you like hot pot?"
Song Lan said without hesitation, "Yes, I like hot pot the most."
…
"We had hotpot that day and bought some books at the bookstore," Jiang Mingxi said, lying on the bed, tilting her head to look at Song Lan. "If I had known you were so rich, I should have ordered two more plates of meat. I wasn't even full!"
All the previous memories came back to me.
Jiang Mingxi remembered everything bit by bit.
Song Lan kissed him on the back and said, "You ate six plates of meat by yourself that day, and you're still not full? How about I feed you some now?"
Jiang Mingxi: ...
Jiang Mingxi:!!!
Immediately, his waist twitched and he struggled to the side, "How can you be so stingy? I ate six plates of meat from you, and you actually remembered it for so many years. You have such a good memory, why don't you remember me!"
Song Lan rubbed his waist with her warm hands, her eyes full of tenderness, "Because after that day, you disappeared. I went to the orphanage to look for you, and the director said you were adopted."
From then on, Song Lan never saw the kid again.
That meal was the last one he remembered.
In the countless days and nights that followed, whenever he thought of these things, he would wonder: Why didn’t I order more delicious food for him at that time?
Jiang Mingxi's appearance and disappearance had a great impact on Song Lan. He fell ill several times and was tossed between life and death several times...
When things get better, I won’t remember the days when I met Jiang Mingxi in high school.
I do remember him as a child, but unfortunately, he didn’t match up with the Jiang Mingxi I met as an adult.
He took the blame, "It's all my fault."
Jiang Mingxi groaned.
Song Lan really didn't see him again after that, because he was adopted the next day.
It was a couple from another place who took him away.
After raising him for a few months, the couple became pregnant and had their own child, so they abandoned him.
They abandoned the child without informing the orphanage, but gave him directly to an elderly widower downstairs.
Although the old man was old, he was full of energy. Jiang Mingxi's tortured life started with that old man...
I was tortured for a whole year.
It was not until Awang came back and wanted to look for him that he discovered that he had been abandoned by the couple who had adopted him before and was being kept in the basement by the old man like a dog.
…
Jiang Mingxi rubbed his head on the bed.
Suddenly, she came up to Song Lan and bit his arm. "I told you, I will remember you even if you turn into ashes."
