They looked at each other and smiled. Wei Tao scratched his head and looked at each other up and down again: "You have changed too much. Do you dare to admit it? My feet are itchy. I dare not kick them now."
In the past and present life, it’s not that we haven’t seen each other for more than three years, but that we haven’t seen each other for more than twenty years.
Short hair, skinny, dark skin, a crybaby, a slug-nosed person, without any image of a little girl. She followed Wei Tao secretly to smoke cigarettes at the back door of the school, followed him to skip school and go to the game arcade to play games...
"Hurry up, why are you taking your time?" Bang, a non-painful kick hit Tang Cen's buttocks.
"You're still having fun, my boss is here to arrest me." Bang, Tang Cen, who was sitting on a chair playing games, was kicked to the lower part of his back, and he quickly followed Wei Tao to escape from the game hall.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I forgot about it." After class, a group of boys went to the men's room in the corner of the playground to smoke. Wei Tao hooked Tang Cen's neck and almost led her directly into the men's room. It was true. Forget it, you can see what kind of image and behavior Tang Cen had at that time.
Scenes from the past came to mind. The slug back then was now a heroic heroine. Although she was not wearing a military uniform, her temperament from the inside out showed the strong aura of a female warrior. Her facial features were perfect. The lips are long and open, with clear three-dimensional edges and corners, and the sword eyebrows are full of heroic spirit. That is to say, the lips are slightly thinner, and there is still a little bit of feminine texture.
Far? At least the once unobtrusive movements were gone, but the joy of reunion was overflowing in his eyes.
"Have you eaten yet?"
"No, I just came back from the countryside to visit relatives."
"What to eat?"
"What do you think?"
"Let's go, that house is not closed yet. The old lady is in good health and can still cook now."
At the corner of a small market near the junior high school, there is a very small fly restaurant that sells grilled dried tofu, grilled skewers, fried noodles, and chicken soup tofu skewers.
A bowl of chicken soup with tofu skewers costs three yuan. After eating the tofu skewers, it is not the end, it is just the beginning. You can refill the soup unlimitedly. The old lady makes the soup, and there are repeat customers every day.
It was different when he was in junior high school and when he was in technical school. In technical school, he had a fight with Zhu Xichun, and at least he could still scrape together some money in his pocket.
When they were in junior high school, both Wei Tao and Tang Cen's family conditions were not good. They saved a dollar and went to the game arcade to buy five game coins, which would have taken at least half a day. Only very occasionally, when there was no lunch at home, would I pay three yuan to go out and eat fried noodles or something like that.
A bowl of fried noodles, a bowl of chicken soup and tofu skewers. At the best time, you can add grilled dried tofu for two yuan. I don’t even dare to consider meat skewers.
Both of them remembered that they once said that when they got rich in the future, they would definitely come back and eat enough.
The taste is like home-cooked food. Wei Tao came back once. The food was still the same and the person who made it was still the same person, but the taste of the food was different.
Without the person we ate with, everything would be different. Or maybe it's just that if you eat too much of the good ones, you'll lose the sentiment of the ordinary ones.
To put it bluntly, I am poor. I am fourteen or five years old when my body is growing. This little food is not enough for one person. I will always feel that this tastes delicious. I have not eaten enough. I will definitely eat it if I have the conditions in the future. Come and eat your fill.
"Auntie, a bowl of fried noodles, a bowl of chicken soup and tofu skewers, and two yuan for grilled dried tofu, uh, that's it, that's all."
The boss feels familiar and knows that these are regular customers. Who are the two young men you asked her to remember specifically? There are so many customers every day, and Wei Tao and Tang Cen don't always come. It's normal that she can't remember, but their attitude must be smiling. , this way of ordering is the way regular customers order.
After taking off his long down jacket, which was not a close-fitting garment, Wei Tao could clearly feel the power of hormones bursting out.
With some movements of the arms, the wool sweater adheres to the arms, revealing the inner lines.
The two didn't say anything. Perhaps due to changes and growth, some ways of speaking that used to be free of taboos are now becoming more restrictive for each other.
Of course, this is not enough to eat, but neither party cares.
The image of Wei Tao walking into the game hall, holding a cigarette and playing games, is not too out of the ordinary. After all, he is only nineteen years old. Tang Cen is already very impressive in this scene, even though she has always wanted to integrate herself into it and find the fun of shaking the waist of the arcade machine and tapping the buttons.
All gone.
Turning his head, he looked at Wei Tao, who was still cursing and immersed in the experience with a cigarette in his mouth. Perhaps he was the only one left.
Tang Cen stopped playing. Instead, he put his elbows on the console, turned sideways, and looked at Wei Tao. She was not looking at him playing the game, because she didn't care about the status of the game at all. What she was looking at was the game being played. The way he looked at that time.
Soon, Wei Tao couldn't stand it anymore, got up and left. After getting in the car, he said to Tang Cen with a grimace: "No, I am really making a show. He is so handsome and attractive now, I don't even think about it." I had questions more than once, would I have abdominal muscles? But these would be defeated by the image of that slug."
Well.
Tang Cen directly lifted the hem of his woolen sweater, revealing his flat abdominal muscles that could be seen with a little effort.
Snapped!
Wei Tao raised his hand, and Tang Cen subconsciously blocked his hand from slapping his head. After blocking it, he realized that he shouldn't block it, so he put down his hand and let Wei Tao's palm slap without exerting any force but making a sound. With such force, he hit the side of his head with a snap.
Familiar movements, familiar pictures, each other laughing out loud in unison, some things have not changed, it feels so good.
When you enter society, you will constantly think back to your youthful past. Those seemingly childish things will often bring you different emotional memories at specific moments, and you will also cherish the possibilities you once had in the future. The emotions that we will never have again, whether they are friends or relatives, may be different, because our memories are engraved with each other's appearance, and each other's growth is engraved with the imprint of each other.
We lost contact before the rebirth. Among the people I could find later, I also asked, but no one had any news about Tang Cen. The kind that comes with growing up is not missing this person, not missing this person, and regrets in life. It is just a Very good memories, probably the kind of memories that would be better if we didn’t meet each other, because these memories will not be destroyed. Once we meet again as adults, many things may have changed. In the past, we shared a cigarette and a bag of instant noodles. After crushing it and chewing it, the two of them took turns pouring it into the mouth of the bag. It is really good that such a memory can be deeply retained in the memory.
When you meet again as an adult, after greeting each other, you will be embarrassed to find that there is nothing to say. When you really want to talk about something, you will feel that it is too immature to say anything. If they were old friends of a man and a woman like them, they would only have a few unexplainable feelings in the past, and they would directly ferment into action.
Compared with Faxiao who grew up together, playmates at this point in life, especially at the age when they understand something, are still different.
Well.
It's different.
That power like a cheetah, that completely different but also full of a different kind of attraction...
"I won't be responsible for you, don't think too much."
"The fact that you react immediately proves that I am a woman in your eyes, and I am still attractive to a certain extent. Don't act like a resentful woman, as if the person in front of you is a brother and you shouldn't be with her. Get on the bed..."
"Let me tell you clearly, I came back from visiting relatives this time just to find you and 'sleep' with you. Why were you so timid when you were so ladylike before? Wei Tao, Wei Tao, even though you are very successful and your business is doing well now, He’s still the same timid guy at heart.”
"I've trained to this point, and you're still worried that I can't protect you?"
"You can just be a little man with peace of mind. When I come back from my job, I will protect you."
Tang Cen's true colors are revealed, just like when he was a child, people will feel that this name does not match her at all.
Faced with her strong words, Wei Tao stood up and faced him looking up and down. Tang Cen did not dodge at all, and even deliberately lifted the quilt on his body to let him see clearly.
"As a soldier, you must have practiced resistance to attack, right?"
Faced with Wei Tao's question, Tang Cen hummed in confusion.
"Then let me see if your knees are strong and whether they have been developed through practice."
"..."
