Chi Xiaochi sat in a snack street opposite the gate of the public middle school, eating spicy skewers, accompanied by the top XO taken out of the warehouse.

The 14-year-old Chi Xiaochi already had the head of a high school student. The plastic low table of the spicy string stall was a bit restrictive for him. His legs, which had nowhere to rest, had to be slanted to the sides of the chair.

His hair had just been shaved, and he had a little fragrance of lemon soap on his body. He was sitting in the greasy hot air, like a refreshing wind.

Crossing the road, both men and women couldn't help but look at him more, suspecting that they had mistaken it.

After seeing it clearly, I can't help secretly surprised.

Chi Xiaochi has the ability to filter human sight and treat everyone as Chinese cabbage. Therefore, he ignored all or inquiring or stunning sights, and only drank his own wine.

Needless to say, the name "Ichikoike" is enough to let him know what happened.

... the Lord God threw them into a parallel world.

If the existence of each world is compared to a string, a parallel world is two strings that are infinitely close to each other. They have almost the same resonance.

The first world line that Chi Koike went through was already quite close to the original world.

In that world line, there are Nebula Entertainment, Beibei Cemetery, and even Song Zhihuai, which Chi Xiaochi knew, but there are still many significant differences. For example, in that world, Lou Ying was not dead.

According to Lou Ying, with the increasing difficulty of the task, Chi Xiaochi will only get farther and farther from the original world line.

Unexpectedly, he passed through nine worlds, and finally returned to a world with an infinite approximation to the origin.

He raised his hand and stroked his refreshing chin.

The hair is freshly shaved, and the short stubble feels comfortable to the touch, like a little hedgehog who just emerged with soft spines.

Time has really passed so long that Chi Xiaochi has forgotten that he did not like to keep long hair when he was a child.

With long hair, he was too hot, and he didn't think he was enough.

Chi Xiaochi couldn't help thinking, why did he want to keep long hair later?

He finally remembered the third drink.

Long hair was the first time the film was shot, and Sun Lao asked him to stay in order to conform to the character's image.

In his debut, he played a left-behind boy who grew up in a small fishing village. He had seen the flower world outside when he was young, but was sent back to his hometown by his parents. His heart is higher than the sky, his ambition is ambitious, and his mind is sensitive. In terms of clothing, hairstyles and talking, all strive to be incompatible with the world around them.

Long hair is one of the ways that the fishing village boy confronted his small world.

Since then, Iikeko has always had long hair.

The reason is different from the fishing village boy, but it is also simple: it is so good to play.

The plot requires him to shave his short hair, and he shaves it; if he needs long hair, he can also play directly, the effect is always better than wearing a wig.

Like forgetting the reason for long hair, Chi Xiaochi has forgotten so many things that he doesn't know how to play his original self.

Sitting on a pavement full of sandy roads, he filled a disposable plastic cup with amber liquid, while tasting wine, while drawing out the world line by himself, he read quietly.

Former main pool Koike, 14 years old.

My father was a toothbrush factory worker. My mother, who was also working in a toothbrush factory, became a part of the laid-off tide and became a female worker in a small food workshop.

This couple is a typical example of the development of modern marriage.

Because I was pregnant with Koike, two men and women who did not really want to be responsible, but were not good at it, got married, gave the child a very perfunctory name, and perfunctoryly allowed his brutal growth.

So from a young age, Chi Xiaochi did not like to stay at home.

He was willing to go to the abandoned railroad tracks near Tongzilou for an afternoon, until he was covered with a halo of colorful clouds and evening lights.

When I was young, Chi Xiaochi was romantic, sensitive, and full of unrealistic fantasies. In addition, the appearance of being provocative, like a small monster with the wrong tires, was surrounded by oil smoke in the four seasons.

Until one day, he waited for another little monster two years older than him.

Lou Ying, whose parents both died in the accident, moved into the aunt's house, just downstairs from the Chi Xiaochi house.

At first glance, Chi Xiaochi fell in love with this brother, and took the initiative to go and pick up his door, cheekily and say hello.

Soon, the little monster and the little monster were playing together.

In the words of Chi Koike, "People who look good should play with people who look good."

He and Lou Ying grew up together.

The word "grow up together" feels very light when you are in it. Only after thinking back many years, can you feel that special, heavy and joyful taste.

They ate ice cream together, raised a blind stray dog ​​together, and played games together.

Lou Ying will stay with him, accompany him to the toilet, and give him questions.

Chi Xiaochi felt that he had an older brother.

No, even if there is a biological brother, Lou Ying may not be so good.

Chi Xiaochi once asked Lou Ying why he was good to him.

When he asked this question, Lou Ying's eyes dropped slightly, and his expression was a little sad.

"I tell you, don't tell others." Xiao Louying said, "when my mother had an accident, there was my younger brother or sister in my stomach. It was very small, so small that my mother didn't even know it. It's here. When I saw you for the first time, I couldn't help but wonder if it would be as lovely and as good as you in the future. "

When Xiao Xiaochi heard it, he almost felt wronged and turned into puffer fish: "Okay, I'm your brother and sister's replacement, isn't it?"

"In the beginning, I did have a bit for you ... but not now." Lou Ying quickly cleared his mood and gave him a gentle hair. "You are not anyone, you are just Chi Xiaochi."

Afterwards, Chi Xiaochi went home to reflect and felt that his performance at that time was too poor. He did not take care of Brother Lou's feelings, so he should give him some compensation.

Somehow, he came up with the idea of ​​a ghost, thinking that he should not be just a brother, and his sister can also be.

Coincident with the school rehearsal, the teacher ordered a batch of small red skirts for the girls of the dance team, and ordered two extra large ones. Chi Xiaochi borrowed one to go home and intentionally bet with Lou Ying. Whoever lost would wear a skirt. Dress up as a girl and go out for a day, and then pretend to lose to him. In this way, Lou Ying may be happy.

The plan went quite smoothly, but the only problem was that Ichiko Chi overestimated his own affordability.

It was less than a quarter of an hour before he left the house. Chi Xiaochi couldn't do anything. He dragged his skirt and couldn't move, a face flushed red, and he refused to move forward.

Lou Ying saw that smoking was over his head, and he couldn't bear to watch him in such embarrassment, so he took off his thin coat, covered his face, and carried him back.

When I was young, two people were very nice.

This one is good, and it has attracted criticism.

The Tongzilou is a place with a broken mouth. Many people have commented that Chi Xiaochi is a local native chicken and Lou Ying is a golden phoenix who accidentally flew into the mountain stream. One is destined to stay, one sooner or later. To fly out, in the end go their own way and separate.

Even when some good people are chatting, when they see Chi Xiaochi, who is looking for Lou Ying to play downstairs, they will laugh and say, Xiaochi, come to see your brother Lou? When your brother Lou family turns into a phoenix and flies away, what do you do?

Chi Xiaochi thought clearly and clearly, what should I do to have any bird relationship with you.

But no wonder these people chew their tongues.

Lou Ying has never been down from the top spot in the district since he settled in a local school.

And Chi Xiaochi himself has a clear attitude towards learning: "I hate learning."

Lou Ying asked him, "You don't want to go to the same university with me, do you want to go with me?"

Chi Xiaochi hippie smiled: "I will not read after graduating from high school. I will go to your university to sell popsicles and daily necessities. At that time, you are only allowed to buy my house, not others."

Lou Ying couldn't help crying: "Studying in college is a very important thing. You are a very clever child. It is best not to decide your own future casually."

Chi Xiaochi asked him which university he wanted to take.

Lou Ying named the name of a university.

Chi Xiaochi thought for a moment: "Then I will sell popsicles."

The joke was played, but Lou Ying's words also made Chi Xiaochi save a little ambition and a little vaguely unwilling.

Lou Ying is a true child in the minds of some people in the building.

But excellence is itself a cause of jealousy.

Others don't believe that there are such good children in the world, but they can't make a mistake from his studies, etiquette and daily performance, and can only stare.

The semiconductor incident of Aunt Chu finally gave these people a chance to vent.

Because of semiconductors, Lou Ying ’s criticism has plummeted in the Guanzi Tower. Everyone is talking about Lou Ying ’s hands and feet in an intriguing manner. At the end, he still pretended to sigh. Hey, I still have no parents Can teach well.

Chi Xiaochi was angry, but he wanted to be angry for Lou Ying, but was stopped by Lou Ying.

He was stunned by his parents, and his good temper and self-cultivation could not be easily shaken.

And because of the loss of his parents, in addition to his elegant book volume, he added a rare understanding and understanding of the world to children of his age.

Lou Ying is really not angry, and sincerely feels that it is not worth it.

In the end, Chi Koike was even more angry than his client.

After hearing the relevant gossip, their parents showed a rare sense of responsibility. They educated Chi Xiaochi at the dinner table so that he could not interact with Lou Ying. They also said that their children in the Chi family could have poor grades, but they could not be misled. Morality.

Chi Koike was extremely angry.

He stood up at the table and said that when I was playing well with Brother Lou, you didn't care about me at all, and now after hearing some rumors of catching the wind and catching a shadow, he put on a good look for me. Do you care about me or are you afraid that I will lose your face?

Not surprisingly, after being severely slapped, his parents contacted Zhu Shoucheng, who lives next door, and asked him to tutor to Chi Xiaochi during the second summer vacation and ordered him to stop seeing Lou Ying.

Zhu Shoucheng is a math teacher in a public school. He is in his fifties and has some gray hair, but he is still tall and strong.

Chi Xiaochi was already well-developed, and the crest of his hair was enough to reach his chest. Even Lou Ying had just reached his chin.

His wife died prematurely, leaving only one son to live with his daughter-in-law in the city. He chose to live alone and teach in the middle school in this rural-urban fringe. In his words, it is "difficult to live in his native land."

In Tongzilou, he is synonymous with respect and knowledge, and is enthusiastic and respectful.

But from the perspective of Chi Xiaochi, Zhu Shoucheng was like a black iron tower. Although he had taken two or three classes, he was very gentle with Chi Xiaochi. When he went to his home for tuition, he always prepared orange juice for him. With milk chocolate, Keikeike still doesn't like the smell on him.

Of course, Ikekoike will not take this kind of things too much.

What worries him most is how to tell Lou Ying politely about this.

Then it was that day.

That day is no different than any other day.

They went to feed the dog together, and met Zhu Shoucheng by accident, and accidentally picked it up on the bright side.

Lou Ying persuaded Chi Xiaochi to listen to his parents and make an appointment with him. See you on the roof at 8 pm, and he would give him a small class tuition.

Chi Xiaochi returned home with joy.

Both parents have gone to work. Chi Xiaochi wanted to take a nap, and went to Zhu Shoucheng for tuition at three o'clock. Whoever wanted to lie down, the fan creaking on his head stopped.

Chi Xiaochi was awakened by the heat, clicked and turned the fan **** a few times, and pulled the light cord again, confirming that there was a power outage.

A similar situation often appeared in the Old Tongzi Building. Chi Xiaochi was no accident. He skillfully turned out a thick phone book and was ready to call the local electric power bureau for repair.

However, picking up the handset, the handset was silent.

I didn't make a move this time, and I had to call the phone and roll back to bed.

Without the fan, the air heated up quickly, and the mat turned into a baking pan baked by the fire, and sweat was stained in the cracks.

After turning around on the bed and spreading pancakes for a while, Chi Xiaochi suddenly heard the tuk-knocking knocking from the door.

He held up the bamboo pillow and sweated up, "Lou brother?"

"Koike, it's me." Zhu Shoucheng's kind voice outside. "Are you taking a nap? It's a blackout, it's so hot. I have mung bean popsicles in my house, are you coming?"

Chi Xiaochi hesitated for a while, got up, wore a jersey and shorts, and opened the door.

Outside the door, Zhu Shoucheng carried his light, exposed his teeth, and smiled brightly at him.

Chi Xiaochi glanced at the wall clock at two o'clock behind him, holding the back of his hand to block the light, and discussed with Zhu Shoucheng: "Teacher, I'll go early today, can I finish class earlier?"

At noon Lou Ying gave him a piece of chocolate. If he could leave school an hour early today, he would like to buy some chicken cake for Lou Ying to eat while the pastry shop is not closed.

Zhu Shoucheng's smile has no change in the arc, as if it were a mask stuck to his face.

Eyes behind the mask looked straight at Chi Xiaochi and said to him, "Okay."

There are almost no idlers in the Tongzilou. During the day, everyone has to work for their livelihood.

The most lively time of the day in Tongzilou is in the evening. Middle-aged women are busy sipping seeds. Middle-aged men are busy drinking. Young couples are busy warming up while the children are out. The pots and pans rang out. Flavor earthly.

But in the summer afternoon, except for the cicadas, there was nothing.

Chi Xiaochi, holding the textbook, followed Zhu Shoucheng's body, entered a day, and entered the Zhu family with a thick iron gate.

With a bang, Iron Gate separated him from the outside world.
