famine

Chapter 47

"Oh," Cheng Hong rubbed his stomach that ached from laughing, tilted his head and took a few deep breaths before finally recovering a little, "I didn't pay attention just now, what kind of bird did you photograph?"

Jiang Xuan on the side also smiled for a while like him, but the difference was that he quickly suppressed his smile and turned into a wooden face again. Hearing this, his eyes fell on the camera again. The screen has gone black and the camera has gone into standby mode.

While pressing the power button, he said, "Acacia, parrots, thrushes, and some other animals don't yield much."

Cheng Lang: "Would you like to help Brother Zhou shoot birds? Let's put it aside. You just want to find some free time to come to the zoo, right?"

Jiang Xuan looked up at him for two seconds, moved his finger on the camera operation panel, and a photo skipped on the corresponding screen.He thought Cheng Lang didn't see it, but the next second the man grabbed his arm and asked, "What photo? I saw it, it's not an animal."

"landscape."

Cheng Lang elongated his voice: "Tell the truth."

Jiang Xuan whispered, "It's you."

"..." Cheng Yan opened his mouth, a little puzzled, "Why are you photographing me?"

Unexpectedly, instead of explaining anything, Jiang Xuan raised his camera and took another picture at him majestically. Although his face was expressionless, Cheng Hong felt very arrogant.

"Tsk, the disciples of the church are starving to death, master, let me see if the filming is ugly."

Jiang Xuan finally succeeded, with a faint smile on the corner of his mouth, and handed him the camera.

Cheng Lang took it over and saw that the photo just now had been turned up on the screen.

Although the interior of the Cayenne is spacious, it is a bit cramped for taking pictures.However, Jiang Xuan should have adjusted the distance. In the photo, he is a little higher than Jiang Xuan’s camera. From Jiang Xuan’s angle, it looks like he is looking up at something. The light comes in from the windshield and passes through the The mirror and the baffle became very mottled when it fell on his face, one side of the cheek was slightly brighter and the other was slightly dark, the silhouette of the nose was very shallow, and the color was just right at the junction of light and dark in the picture.

This photo is so good that Cheng Lang was stunned for a while before he could react.

Jiang Xuan has been watching his expression from the sidelines, thinking that he is dissatisfied, so he wants to take back the camera and delete it, but as soon as he raised his hand, Cheng Hong suddenly turned his head to look at him, and the expression at that moment flashed by , but he still saw it.

Like a puppy protecting food, not gentle at all.

"What are you doing?" Cheng Hong asked cautiously.

"If you don't like it, delete it."

"..." Cheng Lang froze for a moment, "No need to delete."

It's still pretty.

Jiang Xuan raised his eyebrows, accepted the answer, feeling very happy in his heart, pretending to be reluctant: "Okay."

"After you export the photos, send me a copy, just this one and the one just now."

The picture of him standing under the sun flashed by just now.

The background is a circle of red-crowned cranes. He has good eyesight and can see it at a glance.

But Jiang Xuan didn't know, so he opened his mouth and said, "You can take a look at that one, just turn a few forwards."

Cheng Lang had already started the car, and replied lightly, "No need."

The two settled for lunch at a Yunnan restaurant near the attached middle school. This restaurant has been open for less than two years, but Jiang Xuan has never eaten here.The reason is very simple, he thought he was not used to eating, so he directly blocked the existence of this restaurant.

And Cheng Lang has been to Fuzhong many times, and he has noticed this restaurant for a long time, because it is a chain store, and it is also available in shopping malls, and the taste is very good.

After he ordered the food on his own initiative, he kept looking down at his mobile phone. He was so focused that Jiang Xuan, who was sitting opposite him, tilted his head and looked at him for a long time without paying attention.

For unknown reasons, Jiang Xuan raised his head slightly and glanced at the screen, and saw the WeChat interface.

Who will Cheng Lang chat with again?

This idea appeared in an instant, so fast that Jiang Xuan didn't even catch the awkwardness that flashed through Jiang Xuan's mind. He skipped the step of "why is it awkward" and watched Cheng Langping calmly order the dishes with a flick of his eyes. The feeling of comfort that came after that was gone.

Even the "steady" value-added generated when the two of them took pictures together to visit the zoo all morning has dropped a lot.

His lips were pursed visibly, and the corners of his lips were pulled down.

As a result, the person on the opposite side was still chatting enthusiastically on Wechat, sending them over there section by section.

"What are you doing?" Finally unable to hold back, Jiang Xuan asked with a suppressed voice.

Cheng Lang raised his head after typing another paragraph and sent it out, his expression was calm, "For the company's affairs, tell me that I will be on a business trip soon."

"Business trip??" Jiang Xuan skipped the previous words and repeated the last two words. He himself didn't notice how much his tone rose when he heard these two words.

Cheng Yan raised his eyebrows and gave him a funny look: "Don't be so unbelievable, okay, I'm also a director..."

"Where are you going? How many days? When will you be back?"

"..." Cheng Hong frowned slightly, and was stopped by Jiang Xuan's series of questions. Seeing that he seemed very nervous, he became even more confused, and it took him a long time to answer: "Go to the capital, other things have not yet been decided." ,decide as things go."

"..."

Jiang Xuan exhaled quietly, but then he gritted his teeth, looked at Cheng Hong complicatedly, and quickly retracted his gaze and lowered his eyes.

They seem to have stayed together for too long, so long that he almost forgot that Cheng Lang, unlike him, had to work.

Every time they met before, except for the winter vacation, they were all on weekends.Because the attached high school is only on weekends, office workers rest.

It seemed normal for Cheng Lang to go on a business trip.

But what's abnormal is... the moment Cheng Lang said he was going on a business trip, he felt flustered for no reason.

"The capital... is quite far away." Jiang Xuan said after a long silence.

Cheng Lang looked at him quietly, but didn't see anything for a while, then said softly, "It's not very far, the plane will arrive in three or four hours."

Three or four hours.

It was as long as one morning.

Just at this time, a waiter wearing a cheongsam came to deliver the food. The temperature is high now. Even though the store is still heated, it is still a bit cold in the cheongsam. You could see her skin was a little red from the cold.

Watching the waiter leave, Jiang Xuan heard himself saying: "When are you going to leave, are you sure?"

"Well," Cheng Yan looked down at the new message on WeChat, "I just confirmed that next Tuesday, I'm going to talk to a partner about the project."

As soon as he finished speaking, the same waiter came over again, and this time put down braised chicken in copper pot.The copper pot is the kind of pot with a chimney standing upright in the middle used when eating hot pot. It is specially made with many black potholes, giving people a sense of antiquity.The meat inside was already cooked, and the moment the waiter put it down, the aroma entered Jiang Xuan's nose.

He sniffed and said that it was indeed very fragrant.

It's just that for some reason, I don't feel the hunger that I want to stuff into my mouth as usual.

From just now, it seemed that his five senses were blocked, and his mind was full of chaos. Although he tried his best to calm himself down, he was still repeatedly reminded by something——Cheng Lang was going on a business trip, and he didn't know when he would be back.

Business trip, a very common word.

It is also something that office workers often do.

But he didn't know why this matter happened to Cheng Hong, and he felt awkward no matter how he looked at it.

It's like...Cheng Hong has to stay in Eucalyptus, by...by his side.

Cheng Lang also felt the change in the mood of the person opposite, but he still couldn't figure out why. After thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't figure it out. After thinking about it carefully, Jiang Xuan's very surprised expression became clearer after hearing him say that he was on a business trip. .

He pursed his lips lightly, suppressed the strange feeling in his heart, and greeted Jiang Xuan for dinner.

He has eaten at this restaurant several times. It has many chain stores across the country, and there are many in one city alone.And the only restaurant that can make the food of several chain stores in a city have the same taste, except for Shaxian snacks, may be this Yunnan restaurant.

It's just that he was a little puzzled why Jiang Xuan kept a cold face throughout the meal.

Even though he's always had a cold face, he just could tell the difference between his cold face and his cold face.

For example, now, when they came out of the restaurant after eating, he drove Jiang Xuan to the entrance of the attached middle school.

With a cold face, Jiang Xuan said "I'll go first" and got out of the car. When closing the car door, it seemed to be on purpose, and there was another "bang".

Cheng Lang touched his nose reflexively.

The sophomore in the attached high school has already entered the final review before the midterm exam, and the review level is almost the same as that of the third grade who is waiting for the college entrance examination.Fortunately, every third year of high school is like this. In the three grades of the attached high school, the three years of high school are divided into two senior ones and two senior threes.

Wang Peng went home last Friday and spent the weekend at home. He was supposed to go back to school on Sunday night for evening self-study, but he bumped into another bicycle when he was passing the corner on the road.The person on the opposite side is over 30, and it is said that his legs and feet are definitely not as good as Wang Peng, who is young and healthy, but the fact is that it is so unfortunate that the middle-aged man on the bicycle does not even have a scratch on his body, but he desperately gave his feet to him. Sprained.

As the saying goes, it takes [-] days to hurt your muscles and bones, even if you don't use it for [-] days, you have to take good care of it for at least two weeks. Jiang Xuan was originally prepared to not see this idiot in the next two weeks, but he didn't expect to finish it on Monday. One day, when I came back from evening self-study after class, when I opened the door, I saw a wounded man with gauze on his feet and a bruised face sitting on his seat.

"Hey!" Xu Fei behind him was still wondering why he didn't enter the door, and when he looked up, he saw Wang Peng, so he bent his body and sneaked in from Jiang Xuan's side, and stepped to Wang Peng's side in two steps, "Peng Peng is so handsome! , how is your foot?"

Chen Zhengyu also leaned over in the same posture, "Why did you come back so soon? I thought you had an excuse to play games at home after all this trouble."

"Fuck, what are you guys? Curse me." Wang Peng opened his mouth to curse, but the next moment the wound on his face was affected, and the pain was so painful that tears were about to flow down.

"Then why don't you stay at home?" Jiang Xuan closed the door at the end, then pointed to Wang Peng's chair opposite his bed, "Why don't you sit in your seat?"

Wang Peng grinned in pain, and kicked away Xu Fei who was watching his feet with his uninjured leg, "You think I don't want to stay at home? It's not my mother."

Then he raised his voice and squeezed his throat and said: "Oh, the time is too tight now, we can't miss a day of class! Your class teacher said that every point is a playground! We must work hard! Go!"

He spread his hands and returned to his normal tone, with a helpless expression on his face: "Then I'm here. I put my chair in, and yours is outside. I just sat down."

"..."

Xu Fei and Chen Zhengyu looked at each other, and laughed without giving any face.

Only Jiang Xuan was still relatively sober. He didn't care about his chair being taken, and he didn't push Wang Peng to sit down. He stood by the side with his schoolbag slung over his shoulder and asked, "How did you get up?"

Wang Peng: "Hey, I jumped up on one leg, thanks to the second floor. If I want to live on the fifth floor like a senior, I may have to ask my mother to buy me a ladder."

Xu Fei and Chen Zhengyu laughed even happier when they heard this.

In this way, although Wang Peng came, he was already a half-disabled person. Without the three of them, he would basically not be able to go anywhere. He has always been thinking about eating. No. 1 cafeteria can't even rush to the cafeteria after class, so he can only wait for Jiang. Thrush and the others prepared for him when they finished their meal.

At noon on Thursday, Xu Fei and Chen Zhengyu were going to eat rice bowls at the school gate. He told Jiang Xuan as soon as the fourth class started in the morning, and entrusted Wang Peng to Jiang Xuan who was going to eat in the cafeteria. It jumped up as if it had collapsed and ran away without a trace.

So Wang Peng, who was hungry with his chest on his back, could only threaten Jiang Xuan with his eyes, hoping that he would stop staggering and looking so leisurely. If conditions allowed, he would probably have to blow the trumpet to cheer him up and run away.

The waiting time for the meal seemed to be as long as a century. Wang Peng's face turned blue and he was about to faint from hunger. When he saw Jiang Xuan's figure appearing, he always had a double image.

Jiang Xuan put the packed lunch box from the cafeteria on Wang Peng's desk and ignored him. He sat down and started looking at his mobile phone.

Before playing the animal restaurant, he played casually to pass the time, in a state of looking at it whenever he thought of it, but these two days he played more seriously, and would count the time when the flowers in the garden matured and pick them online.

Although no one stole the flowers, he just wanted to come up on time to pick the flowers, and then drag them to the vase for the small animals in the forest to watch.

When he was dragging flowers, Wang Peng came over.

"What are you looking at? What is this? A stand-alone game?"

Jiang Xuan gave way to the side, very worried that the bulging thing stuffed in Wang Peng's mouth would fall on his clothes, "Well, it's a small program."

"This style of painting is too naive, you can play this? I'm cracked." Said the bulging Wang Peng.

"It's up to you," Jiang Xuan stepped aside again, thinking that as long as he came over, he would push back, "just keep your mouth shut and don't open it."

"..." Wang Peng was stunned for two seconds, then chewed quickly, and swallowed with a gurgle, "I found that you have been very hurt recently?"

Jiang Xuan didn't speak, and slid into the restaurant to collect some small dried fish that fell on the floor, then he didn't seem to know what to do, thought for a while and clicked on the ranking list at the top.

"I've been easily hurt recently," Wang Peng's voice came from next to my ear, "You are the one who hurt me the most. I obviously feel that you are in a bad mood recently, and you take pleasure in watching other people's pain."

On the ranking list are all his friends in WeChat. Anyone who has played Animal Restaurant will be displayed on it, with their screen name, avatar, and star rating.

"Say," Wang Peng put a hand on his shoulder and leaned into his ear, "Did something happen to you?"

Wang Peng seemed to insist on him coming up with a reason, so he kept guessing without saying anything, "Have you been bullied? That little bitch is bothering you again?"

Jiang Xuan's animal restaurant has a star rating of [-], but he is not ranked first in the Moments list.

The star number of No.1 is [-] higher than him, ranking first with a score of [-].

The No.1 profile picture is a koala.

This koala is in the capital, and now it is the capital koala.

"The head teacher talked to you? But your grades are quite stable, aren't you the first in your grade?"

"The eyes are in a trance, the eyes are straight, and I am often in a daze when I don't listen to the class, and my hands are so cold." Wang Peng worked tirelessly, and suddenly thought of something blessed to his heart, and his tone became very gossip. "Is there a little girl who confessed to you? Talk Are you in love?"

"..."

Jiang Xuan's heart skipped a beat.
