Good Luck Time - Chapter 18

[Chapter 18]
If you want to get along with someone with an eccentric personality for a long time, you have to get used to coexisting with his eccentricities.
Jiang Ge’s experience is that you don’t have to get used to it, just ignore it.
After ignoring Tao Sizhi’s narrow interests, inexplicably distracted, resisting changes and talking nonsense, Tao Sizhi can probably be classified as an ordinary person.
After the autumn tour, Tao Sizhi became relatively cheerful.
He is planning a one-day trip for next year and intends to leave seven days after the college entrance examination. He told Jiang Ge that it was a Wednesday after the Dragon Boat Festival holiday, and there should be very few people; at the same time, he studied the sun protection value of some sunscreen products, investigated whether it was reliable, and shared it with Jiang Ge.
A few days after Tao Sizhi was addicted to the Binhai Park tourism plan, Jiang Ge hit him when there were only two people: “It’s almost time to stop, it’s definitely not as fun as you think.”
Tao Sizhi sat on the bed with his back against the wall Swipe your phone and choose to pretend you didn’t hear him.
When the game was about to draw a card, he rubbed against Jiang Ge.
“Draw a harvest dogwood for me today,” he leaned on Jiang Ge’s arm with his shoulders, and said ungrateful words in a tone that sounded innocent, “Yesterday you only drew a new ordinary R card.”
“Tao Sizhi, you Do you still have a conscience?” Jiang Ge took his phone and asked him.
Tao Sizhi said nothing, leaned over and kissed Jiang Ge’s face.
The special limited event for the Double Ninth Festival has begun. Tao Sizhi wants about as many cards as he can draw.
On a Friday at the end of October, Jiang Ge and Tao Sizhi walked out of the school gate and saw their mother and Tao Sizhi’s brother who were chatting under the shade of a tree not far away.
Jiang Ge paused and glanced at Tao Sizhi. Tao Sizhi also showed a slightly confused expression when he saw his brother.
Most of the time in recent months, after school on Fridays, Tao Sizhi followed Jiang Ge home for dinner, and then stayed at his house. And every night around ten o’clock, Tao Sizhi would ask Jiang Ge to take him to the overnight bookstore, and Jiang Ge didn’t care much.
Jiang Ge suspected that Tao Sizhi did not have this kind of treatment at home.
“Brother,” Tao Sizhi walked up to his brother, took off the schoolbag naturally, handed it to his brother, and asked, “What’s the matter with you?”
His brother was stunned and said, “I’ll pick you up.”
Tao Sizhi A little reluctantly, he said, “I usually live at Jiang Ge’s house on Fridays.” “My
parents came back in the afternoon,” his brother said, “We are going to give you your birthday tomorrow, have you forgotten?”
Jiang Ge heard the words, Also stunned.
Tao Sizhi was not surprised or paused, and calmly said to his brother, “I didn’t forget, but what does this have to do with where I sleep tonight?”
“…” Tao Sizhi’s brother seemed to be very good at deciphering Tao Sizhi’s logic, he asked Tao Sizhi , “Did you develop a new habit that I don’t know about on Friday night?”
“I’m going to the overnight bookstore at ten o’clock,” Tao Sizhi said immediately, correcting his brother, “It’s not a new habit, it’s already formed. It’s been a while.”
Tao Siyuan sighed and promised Tao Sizhi, “I’ll take you there tonight.”
“Okay,” Tao Sizhi said, “I’ll buy an ice cream at the door .” “Okay,
okay.” His brother was helpless. He said, then turned his head and smiled at Jiang Ge: “Thank you for your hard work.” He added, “I was just telling Mrs. Jiang that tomorrow Sizhi’s birthday is going to ask Mrs. Jiang to bring you with me, I don’t know if you are You are free.”
“If you have other appointments, don’t be embarrassed to tell me,” he said sympathetically, “you must have many friends.”
At the same time, Tao Sizhi himself, the focus of the conversation, stood aside. Silent. Seeing his expression, Jiang Ge was obviously distracted, so he said to Tao Siyuan, “I’m free.”
Tao Siyuan was very happy and thanked him solemnly, as if he felt that Jiang Ge’s willingness to attend was a great kindness to Tao Sizhi.
In the car, Jiang Ge’s mother told Jiang Ge: “Xiao Tao told me that you are Sizhi’s first friend on his birthday.”
“Oh,” Jiang Ge just received Yang Xiao’s text message and opened the mobile game, Wen Yan subconsciously raised her head and asked her, “Tao Sizhi has the kind of friend who doesn’t spend his birthday with him?”
“How did you talk?” She glared at him angrily.
Jiang Ge was stunned for a moment, realizing that his mother had misunderstood his question, and explained, “I didn’t mean that.”
But he didn’t believe him, shook his head, and said that he had a “poor character”, and after a while, he said to himself again. Yu: “What’s the best way to send Sizhi tomorrow? Xiaotao is also true, I only said it today. I originally wanted your dad to go too, but when I asked just now, he was not available… Oh, I remembered, I have one there. Zhang to… gift list, choose two from the above, I have one for you and one.”
“No need,” Jiang Ge refused, “I will choose it myself.”
Jiang Ge usually asks his friends what he wants when he gives gifts. Now for the first time, I want to choose by myself. I’ve been thinking about it for a long time, but I can’t decide, because as far as he knows, Tao Sizhi seems to only like him except for games and scheduled trips next year.
Jiang Ge even thought of “otherwise, sending non-physical physical contact as a gift”, which was not a normal thought at all, and finally sent a text message to Tao Sizhi, asking, “What birthday gift do you want?
Tao Sizhi didn’t know what he was doing, and it took more than ten minutes before he replied to Jiang Ge: “You didn’t get a bumper harvest yesterday.” Jiang
Ge put down his mobile phone, chose to go out, and bought a game console, and he speculated that Tao Sizhi had A little game you might like.
Tao Sizhi’s birthday restaurant was set at a Chinese restaurant near his neighborhood.
The Chinese restaurant is small in size and exquisitely decorated. The waiter led Jiang Ge and his mother in. Jiang Ge noticed that the restaurant was very clean, and the gaps in the mahogany furniture were all shiny and spotless.
Pushing open the door of the box, Tao Sizhi sat in the seat inside, with his parents beside him.
Tao Sizhi’s parents looked like middle-aged people with successful careers. They were confident in temperament and well-spoken. They introduced themselves as partners of a well-known law firm in the city, which was not quite the same as Jiang Ge expected.
After giving the gift to Tao Sizhi, Jiang Ge and his mother sat down in the seat, Tao Sizhi’s father began to liven up the atmosphere.
He joked that it’s not that they don’t want to book a better restaurant, but there are too few restaurants in this city that Tao Sizhi is willing to visit in the back kitchen and can meet his hygiene standards.
Tao Sizhi was the only one on the table who didn’t laugh. He looked back at his gift, then looked at Jiang Ge, and asked Jiang Ge across his father and his brother, “Can I take it apart?”
Tao Sizhi’s parents seemed to be suddenly a little nervous, maybe because they thought Tao Sizhi Not very polite, afraid that his only friend would have an opinion.
Jiang Ge said to Tao Sizhi, “Take it apart,” and they breathed a sigh of relief.
Tao Sizhi’s father raised the wine glass and toasted Jiang Ge and his mother in the background sound of Tao Sizhi unpacking gifts, and thanked them with some seriousness.
At this point, Tao Sizhi had already opened Jiang Ge’s gift, took out the console box and turned it over and over, and asked Jiang Ge, “What is this? Is it a game console? How do I play it?”
He put the console box back and hugged the clerk. After wrapping the big gift box for Jiang Ge, he walked to Jiang Ge’s side and said, “Teach me.”
“Sizhi,” Tao Siyuan called out to Tao Sizhi in embarrassment, and said, “You come back and sit and eat first.”
Tao Sizhi Still looking at Jiang Ge, he suddenly said, “It’s too heavy, I can’t hold it.” The gift box slipped from his arms, fell to the ground, and hit his feet. He jumped back and whimpered: ” It hurts.”
Jiang Ge almost laughed, told him to be careful with his things, lowered his head to help him take out the main box and opened it, then showed him the games he had picked, and introduced a few.
Tao Sizhi leaned beside Jiang Ge’s chair, reluctant to go back, and pointed at the games introduced by Jiang Ge, “Oh, I don’t like this”, “It’s okay”, “This is very good, you really have a vision”, and ten more. Greedy “Then you gave me this very good game console, will you still help me to harvest cornel tomorrow?”
Due to the presence of Tao Sizhi’s family, Jiang Ge didn’t say a single extra word.
Jiang Ge didn’t mind Tao Sizhi talking beside him all the time. After all, there were two people between the two seats, and the distance was quite far.
But Tao Siyuan couldn’t stand it any longer. He walked over, forcibly pulled Tao Sizhi away, and sat down on the chair: “I’ll study with you when I go home after dinner.”
Tao Sizhi’s expression was reluctant, he looked at it. Looking at Jiang Ge, he said to Tao Siyuan unhappily: “No need, this is mine.”
Tao Siyuan raised his hands: “What are you talking about.”
At noon that day, Tao Sizhi’s father seemed very happy and drank half the bottle. Liquor, the naked eye can see more words.
He first chatted with Jiang Ge’s mother, found that they had many common friends, and shared some life anecdotes. Later, Tao Sizhi’s mother asked Jiang Ge’s mother about the charity fund, and he listened quietly.
When the topic was coming to an end, he suddenly sighed to Jiang Ge’s mother: “Actually, when my brother was eight years old, we thought he made the first friend and asked him to invite him to the birthday party at home. The younger brother said he would come, and he has been Waited from noon to night, and refused to light the candle.”
Jiang Ge’s mother’s eyes widened, and Jiang Ge also looked at him. Only Tao Sizhi surreptitiously lowered his head and was studying the instructions for the main unit.
Tao Sizhi’s father continued: “I couldn’t help asking the head teacher for the contact information of that classmate’s parent, so I called and asked. His parent said that he had an appointment with a friend and was having a good time at home, but he didn’t mention it at all. Brother’s business.”
Jiang Ge listened, looked at Tao Sizhi, Tao Sizhi raised his head, looked at his father, and asked casually, “Is it Shuhua?”
His dad gave an “um”, showing an annoyed expression, and said in a low voice, “We later found out that he was the first to call you behind your back… your nickname, and steal your stuff.”
“Dad,” Tao Siyuan Call him, “Okay, stop talking.”
Tao Sizhi’s father lowered his head and took a sip of wine in silence.
“This child is too bad.” Jiang Ge’s mother answered angrily.
At this time, Tao Sizhi looked at the manual again, as if he hadn’t asked any questions. Jiang Ge looked at Tao Sizhi for a while, and asked Tao Sizhi’s father, “Did Tao Sizhi eat cake in the end?”
“He didn’t want to eat it. I lit him a candle, and he was so angry that he cried, lost his temper at me, and beat me.” His dad said, and smiled again, “But I still ate it in the end, it’s vanilla flavored after all.”
Maybe he felt the topic was a little heavy, so he didn’t talk about Tao Sizhi after that, and instead asked the waiter to take the cake and bring it up.
Tao Sizhi’s cake was pure beige without any decoration. His parents lit him an eighteen-year-old candle, turned off the lights, and sang Happy Birthday together. Tao Sizhi blew out the candle.
When the light came on, Tao Sizhi rarely showed a meaningful smile, he pursed his lips, his cheeks bulged slightly, and his eyes looked at the cake.
“Brother, you can make a wish.” Tao Sizhi’s mother said.
Tao Sizhi glanced at her, and she suddenly added to Tao Sizhi, “You don’t need to say your wish.”
“Okay,” Tao Sizhi said, then stared at the cake and thought for a moment, “It’s promised.”
After lunch, they walked out of the restaurant, Jiang Ge said. Finally came to Tao Sizhi’s side.
Tao Sizhi was still wearing a t-shirt without a pattern that looked very comfortable, slowed down, and walked while looking at Jiang Ge. After a short distance from the parents of the two, he asked Jiang Ge, “When will you teach me to play the game console?”
“When do you want to?” Jiang Ge looked at Tao Sizhi and asked.
Tao Sizhi’s eyelashes are long, but not too dense. They are brown and look very soft. He looked at Jiang Ge, and then looked at Tao Siyuan who was helping him carry the gift box in front of him, and whispered, “Think about it now.”
“Then you can go home with me.” Jiang Ge told him.
Tao Sizhi made a sound of “um” and instructed Jiang Ge: “Go and tell my brother.”
Jiang Ge had to go and say hello to Tao Siyuan, Tao Siyuan gratefully gave the bag to Jiang Ge and said, “Trouble!”
Jiang Ge Mom was going to the foundation’s office in the afternoon, and sent Jiang Ge and Tao Sizhi home first.
Jiang Ge walked up the stairs with the gift bag, Tao Sizhi walked beside him and reached out to scratch his hand. He scratched very lightly, as if to remind Jiang Ge that he was there.
Walking into Jiang Ge’s room, Jiang Ge put the bag on the ground, Tao Sizhi got closer to him, as if he was on his back, hugged his waist from behind and said, “Jiang Ge, I still want to go with you in the future. All night bookstore.”
Jiang Ge turned around, looked down at Tao Sizhi for a few seconds, grabbed his shoulder lightly, and pushed him against the door. Tao Sizhi obediently raised his face slightly and closed his eyes.
Tao Sizhi put his hand on Jiang Ge’s back and slowly slid down again.
