fight to the death

At four o'clock in the afternoon, it was not too late, and the sun just happened to set just a little.Jiang Huai lingered at the entrance of this coffee shop for a long time. There was a glass door in front of him. A woman was sitting in the position facing the glass door. Her back was facing Jiang Huai, with one hand resting on the table. That seat, empty, empty.

That belongs to JAC.

And her purpose is to let Jianghuai and Hummingbird cooperate.

He has been here for a long time, even a few minutes earlier than the appointed time, but Jiang Huai doesn't understand why he dare not go in, as if there is an invisible grid on the glass door, touching it with his hands will kill people. ....The woman raised her hand and glanced at the watch on her wrist, then raised her head and looked out the window. She didn't see Jiang Huai when she entered the door, because Jiang Huai saw her from a distance, and hid in a nearby tree Behind the big tree.The time passed by every minute and every second, Jiang Huai took out his mobile phone and looked at it, it was four fifteen, very good, a full 15 minutes later than the agreed time.

Yu Shen said that if you don't want to write for Hummingbird, you will leave a bad impression on the editor. Being late is a good way to show that you are a big name.Although Jiang Huai didn't know how big a brand he was now, anyway, squatting behind a tree for 15 minutes looked like an idiot.

How could Jiang Huai believe what Yu Shen said?

The phone vibrated for the third time. Jiang Huai looked down and saw that it was the woman in the coffee shop. After he connected, he said "I'm here", then hung up the phone, gritted his teeth and opened the door and walked in. The air conditioner in the hall blew head-on, causing Jiang Huai to have goose bumps all over his body. The bell hanging on the door made a crisp sound because of Jiang Huai's movements. The woman turned her head and smiled at Jiang Huai.The woman's smile made Jiang Huai feel an inexplicable sense of self-blame in his heart. He quietly moved his eyes to one side, walked to the opposite side of the woman, and sat down stiffly.

"Hi, my name is Qin Zhu, and I'm the editor of Hummingbird." Qin Zhu stretched out a hand with a smile, and she drank half of the coffee in front of her.

"Ah." Jiang Huai also extended his hand and shook Qin Zhu, "Jiang Huai."

"The short story "The Voyeur" you submitted before was very well written, and our editor-in-chief also appreciated it." Qin Zhu paused, took out a folder from behind, and said, "So, I hope you can I wonder if you are interested in becoming an author of our magazine?"

As she said that, she handed the folder to Jiang Huai. Jiang Huai opened it and saw that his head was getting big because of the dense words on it. He closed the folder and handed it to Qin Zhu, then raised his head and smiled apologetically at Qin Zhu : "Sorry, at first I submitted the manuscript like a hummingbird with the mentality of trying to see if I could get some manuscript fees, but now I have found a part-time job, so..." He didn't finish, but Qin Zhu understood what Jiang Huai meant, and after taking the folder, Qin Zhu didn't speak.

The surrounding atmosphere seemed awkward, Jiang Huai stared at Qin Zhu's hand stirring the coffee with a spoon, and then quietly looked away.

"That..." Jiang Huai stood up and pointed to the glass door, "I still have something to do, so let's go first."

Qin Zhu nodded, and stopped Jiang Huai just as he took the first step: "You will come."

Jiang Huai froze for a moment, turned his head and frowned slightly, his eyes were full of doubts, Qin Zhu raised the corners of his mouth, showing a smile that Jiang Huai could not understand: "One day, you will come to Hummingbird, I am waiting for you at Hummingbird. "

After leaving the coffee shop, Jiang Huai breathed a sigh of relief. He looked back at Qin Zhu who was sitting inside, and saw that she put the finished coffee cup aside, then took out her mobile phone and made a call. After the person said something, Qin Zhu nodded frequently.Jiang Huai walked back along the road. When he came out, he checked the time. It was 35:10, and he stayed there for 20 minutes, but it felt like he had been there for [-] years.He frowned, lowered his head and thought about what Qin Zhu said just now, completely oblivious to the bicycle that was following him closely behind.

What did Qin Zhu mean by that sentence?What does it mean that he will go to the hummingbird one day?

The car bell of "Ding Ding, Ding Ding" interrupted Jiang Huai's train of thought. He turned around and saw Yu Shen riding a bicycle and waving at him.The man dropped a bag of milk in his mouth, wore his red broken earphones on his head, stepped on the pedals with one foot on the other, and held a bag of milk in his other hand, mint green short-sleeved It just fits on the body, looks like a young boy, the weather has not been so cold these few days, it almost changed from autumn back to summer all at once.The two faced each other, Yu Shen's smile was hotter than the sun, Jiang Huai suddenly felt dizzy, and the person in front of him looked unreal.

"Brother Dog?" Yu Shen pedaled his bicycle a few steps forward, "What a coincidence?"

"What a coincidence?" Jiang Huai raised his eyebrows, put one hand on Yu Shen's shoulder, and put his mouth next to his ear, "Tell me, how long have you been with me?"

After hearing this, Yu Shen couldn't help but froze. He pretended to be calm and looked at Jiang Huai, and forced a smile: "No way, I just happened to pass by."

"En?" Jiang Huai got a little closer, his lips were only a few centimeters away from Yu Shen's cheek, as if he could kiss him just by getting closer, "Really? Why do I think this sentence sounds so fake? "

Yu Shen was visibly flustered, his eyes were flying around, he gently pushed Jiang Huai away with his hands, a faint blush appeared on his face: "Fake, I've been following you since you came here until now."

Jiang Huai patted Yu Shen on the shoulder in satisfaction, his eyes were full of slyness, like a child who succeeded in pranking, he moved away from Yu Shen, put his hands in his pockets, turned around and planned to move forward, with a careless look, mouth Li also muttered: "That's right, you are a good boy to tell the truth."

Yu Shen looked at Jiang Huai's back from behind, and he was stunned for a while before he came to his senses, what happened to him just now?Just accidentally looked into Jiang Huai's eyes, how could he be confused?He put his hand on his left chest, his heart was beating wildly when Jiang Huai approached, and there was dense sweat on his forehead. Obviously the weather was not very hot, but Yu Shen always felt an indescribable hot feeling all over his body. .

"Why are you in a daze?" Jiang Huai walked a distance ahead and saw that Yu Shen didn't follow, but when he turned around, he was still standing there. He was much more innocent than he imagined, and he pretended to be the usual old driver after a long time?After Jiang Huai yelled a joke in his heart, he resigned himself to his fate and walked back. He stretched out his hand and shook it in front of Yu Shen, "I'm back to my senses, the Qing Dynasty is dead!"

"Ah." Yu Shen came back to his senses, raised his head and blinked at Jiang Huai, looking out of the ordinary, "Brother Dog, what did you say?"

"It's nothing." Jiang Huai rubbed the back of his head, "I said, how did you find me?"

Yu Shen lowered his head and thought for a while, then tore apart the milk in his hand, and stuffed the other bag into Jiang Huai. After he took a sip of the milk, he said, "I don't know, maybe it's Brother Gou, you have a smell. I smell it. I found it."

Holding the milk, Jiang Huai raised his hand and sniffed his sleeves, frowned slightly, and looked up at Yu Shen who was still biting the milk bag: "Jing nonsense, I haven't been weaned yet at this age ?" Yu Shen finished drinking a bag in a short while, and then stared at the bag in Jiang Huai's hand, Jiang Huai suddenly felt a little funny.

"You grow taller by drinking milk." Yu Shen retorted.

"No matter how tall you are, you are still shorter than me." Jiang Huai gave Yu Shen his bag of milk. Seeing that Yu Shen squinted his eyes comfortably, the smile on the corner of his mouth deepened, "Drink, drink, Yu Shen's best friend It’s better to grow taller, but don’t surpass me.”

"I'm only a little shorter than you, just three centimeters!"

When I was in school before, the school held a physical examination for all students in the school. The first thing Jiang Huai and Yu Shen ran to test was height. The question of who was tall and who was short had troubled the two of them for a long time. Confidently said that he must be taller than Jianghuai. After the test, someone full of confidence held the medical examination form and wanted to cry without tears. One was 1.8 meters seven and the other was 1.8 meters four. The difference was only three centimeters.Yu Shen stared at the height-measuring instrument for a long time, and then yelled that there must be something wrong with the machine. He measured 1.8 meters [-] before, so why is he two centimeters shorter this time!So Yu Shen hated this matter for a long time. If Jiang Huai didn't stop him, he would have smashed the machine.

"Three centimeters is also a gap." Jiang Huai glanced at the top of Yu Shen's head. The three centimeters were not obvious. They were almost the same height in other people's eyes, but Jiang Huai felt that the difference of three centimeters was quite interesting. At least take It would be good to tease Yu Shen.

The two of them didn't go far, and the sinking sunset gradually disappeared in the west corner of the residential building. The sunlight reflected on the glass windows, and the ginkgo leaves on the roadside gradually turned yellow and fell on the ground to form thick piles. On the first floor, you can clearly hear the sound of "creaking" when you step on it. This sound is very comfortable, and it can make people who are restless and restless. This road seems very long, and it will take a lifetime to walk over.Jiang Huai secretly peeped at Yu Shen next to him from the corner of his eye. He stared straight ahead. The earphones he had worn on his head had been placed around his neck at some point. Jiang Huai suddenly felt that this felt really good. It's great if you keep going.

The wind picked up, and the wind skipped over the tip of the grass and hit Jiang Huai and Yu Shen's faces lightly. The wind was not as cold as before, but mixed with a gust of heat.

"How long have we been on vacation?" Jiang Huai turned around and asked.

"It's almost half a month." Yu Shen replied, he seemed to think of something again, "Brother Dog, is it your birthday tomorrow?"

"Ah." Jiang Huai nodded, he almost forgot his birthday, "It seems to be, did you prepare a gift for me?"

"No, I forgot." Yu Shen replied straightforwardly.

Yu Shen's frank answer immediately hurt Jiang Huai's fragile little heart. Jiang Huai held his chest as if he was dying, and pointed at Yu Shen with trembling fingers, vividly expressing the appearance of a resentful woman: "You make me feel like this!" Dad, I'm so sad."

Yu Shen had no choice but to applaud him for his exaggerated acting skills.

"I lied to you." Yu Shen smiled, and blinked at Jiang Huai, "I remember it, I always remember it, pretend to be it, I will never forget it."

Yu Shen's answer touched Jiang Huai for a while. He was only joking just now, and he never thought of letting Yu Shen remember his birthday, but when Yu Shen said that he always remembered his birthday, Jiang Huai admitted , My heart missed a beat.He never thought that anyone would remember his birthday, so when Yu Shen asked him about his birthday, Jiang Huai casually said that in his original home, his biological parents always forgot the number, but He was deeply remembered by the person in front of him who had been with him for almost half a year.

Jiang Huai suddenly didn't care about anything, he doesn't care who remembers his birthday or not, as long as Yu Shen knows, as long as he alone knows, it's fine.

For JAC, this is luckier than winning the 500 million lottery.

"Brother Dog." Yu Shen looked up at the yellowing ginkgo leaves on the tree that hadn't fallen yet, "I'll come to you tomorrow, how about taking you to play?"

It seemed that he was asking Jianghuai for his opinion, but Yu Shen had already determined the answer in his heart.

Jianghuai will agree, and he has no reason to refuse.

"Ah good."

Look, let's talk about it, Jianghuai will refuse Yu Shen even if he refuses anyone.
