02.

See you tomorrow," he said.

When I arrived home, Ma Wenjuan was already washing dishes, while Ji Ming and Ji Dahai were sitting on the sofa watching TV.

I touched my slightly flushed cheeks. Because there were still two elders at home, I could only temporarily give up drinking.

At that time, the immature child's voice echoed in my ears. I laughed and said, "A passing alien Superman saved me."

I deliberately looked at him with a disgusted expression and said, "It's all meat, it will make you fat." Then, I picked out two skewers of lean meat and said with a smile, "Thanks."

I truly envy their friendship. In the eyes of others, they may be troublesome students who are disobedient and rebellious, but I think they are really cute.

I rushed back before 7 pm - the time set by Ji Dahai.

Hmm. Mu Shaobai nodded. "Haochen's father passed away due to illness when he was young. His mother quickly remarried and didn't care about him. He lived with his grandmother, but as she grew older, she couldn't take care of him anymore. He had to earn his own living and school fees. His father had an old comrade-in-arms named Uncle Hua, who took care of Haochen a lot when he was young. But he feels that he has grown up now and can't ask Uncle Hua for money anymore."

Coward, remember I am the superman from outer space!

Mu Shaobai heard and showed a guilty expression: "I'm sorry."

Well, I will come out to play often.

One day in early June, I was erasing the blackboard on the podium when Mu Shaobai gestured for me to go out at the classroom door. I put down the blackboard eraser and walked out, asking, "What's the matter?"

I asked in confusion, "Does he still have to rely on competitions to earn tuition and living expenses?"

He had an uncontrollable smile on his face. He reached out and threw his helmet into my arms. I caught it in a hurry and gave him a disdainful look.

I recall that period of time, and a smile unconsciously appeared on my face: "I choked on a lot of water and felt like I was going to meet the Dragon King, who happened to be passing by..."

Mu Shaobai picked a few vegetables for me and put them in a bowl, saying, "Have something to eat before drinking."

I finally let go of the hanging heart, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, feeling more tired than competing with myself.

I took out the handkerchief I usually use from my pocket and handed it to Ling Haochen, saying, "Congratulations."

No problem, it's rare to be this happy. I laughed and then took a big sip.

Upon hearing this, I remained silent for a while, unsure of what to say.

I don't want to abandon the beauty in memories like this. I used to think that I would definitely return to the starting point and meet again.

That day we had a great time, as if the whole world was left with just us, we only need to indulge freely, laugh freely, and it will drive away all the sadness.

Give, water. Luo Qiqi quickly handed a bottle of mineral water to Ling Haochen. Ling Haochen took a sip and fist-bumped Mu Shaobai and Yang Yanxiao, who also offered their blessings.

Then, Ling Haochen turned around and looked at me, and said softly, "You came too."

Ah! Ling Haochen, speeding! Speeding! Luo Qiqi and Yang Yanxiao screamed ahead.

I tightly held Mu Shaobai's hand and walked several meters. Finally, unable to bear it any longer, I closed my eyes and said, "Wait."

I turned around and entered the residential area.

I am afraid of both water and heights, especially of walking on suspension bridges, but I really want to go up and take a walk.

Great! Luo Qiqi cheered first.

The girl in the photo tilts her head slightly, with a heartfelt smile on her face, and her eyes are filled with anticipation for beauty.

Four thirty.

So, you always remember that superhero from the alien planet, right? Mu Shaobai continued with what I just said.

Ling Haochen looked at me, with one hand resting on my head, he rubbed my hair and said, "Drink less, you still have to go home later."

Mu Shaobai nodded, quietly took me to the back of the school library, and climbed over the wall.

Ling Haochen has been leading ahead of others. At the last turn, he was overtaken by the second place. I was surprised and couldn't help but tighten my arm.

The almost enclosed space made me feel suffocated. I quickly opened the window, spread my arms, and started to breathe in the air deeply. I don't know when it started, but I wanted to escape from this so-called home.

My mood began to clear up, just like the cloudless sky for thousands of miles. In this way, Ling Haochen seems to become less annoying.

I followed Luo Qiqi and others to the lounge to wait for Ling Haochen. Ling Haochen walked over wearing a red and white racing suit, took off his helmet, and his gaze fell on me.

I shook my head and said, "I was too young at that time and couldn't remember what he looked like, but I only remember this sentence."

Passing through the streets and alleys, I saw a public restroom. Ling Haochen let me go in and wash my face, so as not to be noticed by my family. Then he went to buy me a bottle of mineral water and a bottle of perfume. I laughed at how thoughtful Ling Haochen was, but he just smiled and said nothing.

I know that I don't understand barbecue, and I don't join in the fun to avoid unnecessary trouble. When I looked up and saw the suspension bridge not far away, my interest was piqued, so I ran over.

Ji Dahai originally intended to scold me, but seeing me speak like this, he didn't say anything. Instead, Ji Ming looked at me with a wicked smile on his face. I ignored him and went straight into the bedroom, closing the door.

Do you have a fear of heights?

I silently recite in my heart.

Sorry, said Mu Shaobai, "Just now you looked very beautiful, not like your usual self." After speaking, Mu Shaobai held up his SLR camera to show me.

When I arrived at the arena, I was stunned. It was packed with people. Luo Qiqi and Yang Yanxiao brought me and Mu Shaobai to the spectator seats. Even before the competition started, Luo Qiqi was already enthusiastically cheering for Ling Haochen.

If you can't drink, then drink less. Mu Shaobai lightly tapped the table.

Keep it up, Ling Haochen.

Mu Shaobai said: "The GP500 Championship (World Motorcycle Championship), which is held for the first time in City A, has attracted many racing enthusiasts. The first place winner will receive a prize of 50,000 yuan. If Ling Haochen wins this prize, he won't have to worry about tuition and living expenses."

Mu Shaobai said, "Ling Haochen has a game this afternoon. Will you go or not?"

Ling Haochen walked over and helped me carry the ingredients to the side of the stove. He said, "We've got this covered, you can go play."

I thought for a moment and said, "Okay, let's go now."

I feel the excitement brought by the gently swaying suspension bridge, and ask, "Do you have many activities like this?"

Yang Yanxiao and Luo Qiqi drank too much and started to babble while hugging each other's shoulders. Mu Shaobai was afraid that something might happen to them, so he decided to send them home. Ling Haochen paid the bill and reached out to hold my arm, saying, "Let me take you home."

When I arrived at the entrance of the residential area, Ling Haochen waved at me and said, "Go in."

Well. I nodded with a smile.

It's okay, everything will return to the starting point and we will meet again. Mu Shaobai's words sound unrealistic, but they are what I want to hear.

On the island, there was a stove available, so Ling Haochen, Luo Qiqi, and Yang Yanxiao couldn't wait to set up the stove and prepare for a barbecue. Mu Shaobai was responsible for quietly being a handsome young man and recording this enjoyable outdoor barbecue with a camera.

Ling Haochen took it over, looked at the handkerchief, wiped the sweat off his face, turned his head and said, "I'll treat you all tonight. You can eat whatever you want."

"I'm also afraid of water," I confessed.

As the whistle sounded, ten GP500 cars raced from the starting point towards the finish line. Just as I was about to shout words of encouragement, my voice was drowned out by the continuous cheers.

Ling Haochen exhaled and walked up to me. His hair was soaked with sweat.

I took a few steps, turned around and said to him, "See you tomorrow."

Luo Qiqi and Yang Yanxiao are both very happy. They stood up together with Ling Haochen and drank together, wishing him well and telling stories of their past recklessness.

I did not refuse. After saying goodbye to Mu Shaobai and Luo Qiqi, I followed Ling Haochen home.

I smiled, pushed away the wine glass, and started drinking from the beer bottle.

Upon seeing me return, Ji Dahai immediately stood up and asked me, "Qing Nian, where did you go? It's so late for you to come back."

Four thirty, which means I have to skip one class.

Ling Haochen responded promptly and said, "You're welcome!"

Cheers! In a dim and old alley, we sat around a steaming hot pot table, raising our glasses to toast.

Mu Shaobai did not leave again, waiting quietly for me to speak.

Ling Haochen, you're amazing! Luo Qiqi exclaimed, "Idol! Invincible kind!"

No problem. I grabbed Mu Shaobai's arms with both hands, then slowly squatted down and sat cross-legged on the bridge. Mu Shaobai also sat down next to me, following my example.

Great. I sincerely said, "The feeling of being able to do whatever you want, I only experienced it during the time I spent at my grandmother's house in the countryside when I was a child. Because I was usually strictly controlled by my father, I was curious about everything when I went to my grandmother's house as a child. I secretly went to pick oranges and ended up falling into the river."

I took out the frozen ingredients from the package and felt a bit tricky: "How should I roast it?"

That red car over there is Haochen," Mu Shaobai pointed out to me.

The weather in May is no longer cool. In the sticky air, hot molecules are surging. The small island stands by the lake, with a pleasant climate. Standing by the lake, you can also see the distant green mountains. It is both a sightseeing spot and a place for barbecue, which is the best of both worlds.

I sat down and looked at the enthusiastic audience around me. I asked Mu Shaobai, "What kind of competition is this? So many people."

Thank you for coming to see me," Ling Haochen said earnestly.

I opened my eyes and said apologetically, "I almost drowned in the river when I was a child, and it left a shadow in my heart."

What time?

The sound of the shutter brought me back to reality.

Mu Shaobai smiled, walked in front of me, and reached out his hand. I glanced at him and handed my hand to him. Mu Shaobai held my hand, carefully leading me, and said, "It will sway, but not severely. As long as you walk normally, there won't be any problem."

Just as I was contemplating, screams erupted all around me, the competition was about to begin.

I answered with a very good attitude, "Dad, I'm sorry. A girl in my class had her birthday and invited us all to her house to play. My phone also ran out of battery, so I didn't have time to tell you."

The camera on the big screen switched to Ling Haochen's face. Through the helmet, I saw Ling Haochen's eyes sharp and serious. He accelerated steadily and, amidst the growing cheers, crossed the finish line ahead of the first place in 0.098 seconds.

I returned to the headquarters with Mu Shaobai. Ling Haochen held a large string of meat and handed it to me, saying, "Feel free to choose."

Before long, Luo Qiqi in the distance waved to us, urging us to hurry down for a barbecue.

Mu Shaobai asked with a soft smile, "So how did you finally come up?"
