Shi Jin opened his eyes, with a dazed look in his eyes.
Shi Jian looked at him with some concern: "Brother, you look so pale, are you okay?"
Shi Jin shook his head, his eyes regained clarity: "It's okay."
He turned his head and his eyes rested on the face of Time.
After a while, Shi Jin said, "Time."
His tone was calm, only his face was frighteningly pale: "Now that you've made up your mind, go ahead."
Shi Jin loosened his clenched palms. The skin on his palms turned bluish due to lack of blood circulation for a long time.
He held an umbrella, his delicate eyebrows and eyes were shrouded in shadow, and only a faint arc appeared at the corner of his lips: "Are the things ready?"
For some reason, Shijian felt a little depressed: "Brother..."
Shi Jin reached out and touched his sister's head, his amber eyes showing some tenderness: "Take good care of yourself in Country A."
Shi Guang then smiled and said, "Of course, I'm good at taking care of people. If the school didn't require accommodation, I would live with you and raise you to 180 kilograms!"
"But seriously." Shi Guang looked him up and down, not very satisfied: "Brother, you are too thin. You need to eat more."
"Okay." Shi Jin suppressed his emotions and curled his lips towards Shi Guang: "Take me around your school."
Shi Guang imitated what he saw on TV and patted his chest loudly: "Come on, this is my territory, I'll take you around."
I decided to take my brother to the square for a walk first.
In order to better highlight the school's free and romantic characteristics, the School of Design built a square just after the entrance.
There is a bluestone-paved sidewalk on the side of the square, and there is a stone chair every few meters for students to sketch or rest.
In the center of the square, snow-white doves are strolling leisurely and fat wild cats are lying lazily.
When someone walked by, the white doves flapped their wings and flew into the sky, spreading their snow-white wings and covering the blue sky.
The cat lazily swung its tail and continued to stare blankly with its eyes narrowed.
At the other end of the square, several couples were feeding the birds with pigeon food.
On the cobblestone road not far away, a student set up a drawing board and observed the flying white doves with a focused look.
As time went by the edge of the square, my attention was drawn to a couple in the distance.
That person, why does he look a bit like...
It's just that the distance is too far and I can't see clearly.
She squinted her eyes and looked at it for a while, then gave up.
Shi Jian turned around and introduced to Shi Jin with a smile: "Brother, this is our White Pigeon Square. I heard there are at least two hundred pigeons here."
"And over there, the chair over there is the most suitable for sketching. Sometimes when I don't have any inspiration while doing my homework, I will go over there and sit and daydream for a while."
"By the way, do you see that statue over there? The grove over there is quite hidden and is a popular dating spot in school. However, at nine o'clock in the evening, the security guards will come and chase people away."
At this point, Shi Guang covered his mouth and laughed: "Ah Che and I used to go there for dates often, and we were caught by the security guard once, hahahaha."
Shi Jin glanced sideways: "A Che?"
"Oh, right." Shi Jian seemed to have just remembered: "I don't think I've told you his name. You've always called him boyfriend."
The usually generous girl blushed at this moment. She held her face with her hands, revealing only a pair of big eyes: "A Che is my boyfriend, his full name is Shen Xi Che."
The girl, who has always been a carefree person, had a shy but sweet look in her eyes when she talked about her boyfriend.
Is this the power of love?
Shi Jin seemed to be thinking about something.
A pigeon flapped its wings and flew to Shi Jin's feet, looking at the visitor curiously with its small black eyes.
Shi Jin then lowered his eyes and looked into its eyes.
The pigeon tilted its head and took two tentative steps forward with its two tender yellow claws.
Time ran to buy a bag of pigeon food and squatted down.
The pigeon food was placed in the palm of the hand. The pigeon changed its hesitation and ran over quickly with its two paws.
Shi Guang smiled and looked up: "You see, they are just a bunch of little foodies. Once they see food, they forget everything."
“I even gave them all names.”
Shi Guang reached out and touched the pigeon that was busy eating. "This pigeon has a strand of stupid hair on its head. I call it Little Stupid Hair. Isn't it cute?"
Sprinkling the last bit of pigeon food on the ground, Shijian stood up and said, "It's a pity that I won't be able to see them when I go abroad."
Shi Jin pursed her lips: "When are we leaving?"
"The flight ticket is in half a month." Shi Guang smiled at his brother and said, "So, brother, don't stay at home writing books all the time. Take some time to accompany your dear sister."
"When I go abroad, we won't be able to see each other for half a year."
"Hey, and Mother Wang, Mother Wang will definitely miss me a lot by then."
Shi Guang blinked twice and suddenly took out his cell phone from his pocket: "Why don't we go over there now and have a meal at Mother Wang's place? I haven't eaten her cooking for a long time."
Do what you say.
Time to turn on the phone and dial the number.
When she received the call about the time, Mother Wang was putting the cooked mung bean paste into the refrigerator.
Hearing the time, Wang Ma narrowed her eyes and said, "It's best if you come earlier. Come earlier to accompany Wang Ma."
Listening to the intimate and coquettish voice on the other side of the microphone, she smiled particularly happily: "Okay, okay, come quickly."
After hanging up the phone, Wang Ma walked into the kitchen, walked around twice, and then opened the refrigerator to take a look.
"We have all the vegetables, but there seems to be no fruit left." Wang Ma looked through the refrigerator and walked around twice: "No, I have to go buy some fruit."
She fished out her wallet and walked out the door without even taking a break.
The neighbor next door happened to be carrying her grandson out, and when she saw Aunt Wang, she called out, "Aunt Wang, where are you going?"
The girl in his arms called out obediently, "Good afternoon, Grandma Wang."
"Hey, Tiantian, good afternoon." Aunt Wang smiled and stuffed a piece of candy into the little girl's mouth. Then she answered the neighbor's words: "Xiao Jin and Nan Nan are coming over today. I'm going out to buy a watermelon."
"Xiao Jin and Nan Nan are coming back." The neighbor also laughed: "Then you have to prepare well."
"Yes, we have all kinds of vegetables at home, but we lack fruits." Aunt Wang touched the sweet little face and smiled: "I will bring you watermelon when I come back later, okay?"
The little girl's eyes lit up: "Thank you, Aunt Wang!"
"Hey, girl." The neighbor gently pinched the little girl's face: "You are so shameless."
Wang Ma also laughed: "Little girls, it's better to be brave. My daughter was like this when she was little, but now she is very lively."
"Okay, let's stop talking. Let's talk tomorrow." Aunt Wang hurried downstairs: "I have to go to the market. The watermelon stall at the intersection is open at noon."
"Okay."
Aunt Wang was holding her wallet, thinking about what else to buy besides the watermelon, when the elevator dinged and arrived on the first floor.
She walked out of the elevator, and as soon as she raised her eyelids, a smile spread across her face: "Oh, my daughter is here. You're here so soon."
"Mother Wang!" Shi Jian rushed over and hugged Mother Wang: "I just missed you, so my brother and I flew here."
Aunt Wang hugged Shijian and scolded him with a smile: "Girl, you have been good at talking since you were a child."
Shijian left Wang Ma's embrace and took her arm with a smile: "Where are you going?"
"I was just planning to buy some fruit and cut it for you later. Oh, by the way." Aunt Wang poked her head out and looked outside the elevator: "Where's Xiao Jin? Isn't Xiao Jin here?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the young man in black turned around the corner.
Shi Jin curled his lips, and a smile appeared in his usually cold eyes: "Auntie Wang, I'm here."
Older people always tend to babble unconsciously, and Wang Ma is no exception.
On the way home, she held one hand and smiled deeply on her wrinkled face. She asked about Shi Jin's school schedule and reminded him to pay attention to his meals.
This loving chatter did not stop until he entered the house.
As soon as her butt touched the sofa, Wang Ma couldn't sit still anymore: "I'll go get you a glass of water."
Shi Jin stopped Wang Ma from getting up: "Wang Ma, I'll go."
Shi Guang also hugged Wang Ma's arm and leaned against her intimately: "That's right, let brother go. We are not here as guests. How can we let you run around when we go home?"
The word "home" touched Wang Ma's soft heart. Her eyes suddenly turned red and she patted the time with her rough hands: "Yes, you are home now."
Aunt Wang lived alone, so she was too lazy to get a water dispenser. She just installed a kettle in the tea room and plugged in the kettle when she wanted to drink water.
Shi Jin found the cups and kettle in the cabinet and plugged them in.
The kettle was humming. Shi Jin placed the washed cups on the tray and stared into space quietly.
After a while, the kettle jumped off the key with a click.
He came to his senses, picked up the kettle and was about to pour water when his eyes were drawn to a photo frame hanging on the wall.
