C1 (2/2)

When Zhang Song heard this, he frowned and did not say anything. After a full minute, he let out a long breath and said, ”This hand is precisely because of football. I don't want to touch basketball for the rest of my life, and I won't be participating in this year's football tournament. You must win the championship for me, or else don't come back and see me again.”

Su Xiang was surprised by Zhang Song's words and said in surprise: ”What? No more football? You're not kidding, football and basketball are your favorite and best at it, how can you just leave without touching it, that's hard for me to understand. ”

Zhang Song raised his long hair and said seriously: ”So what if I love it the most and am good at it the most? It was just a sport, and no matter how well you played it, you couldn't eat it. ”I came here tonight to tell you that after a period of time, at the earliest, half a month at the latest, I will have to go out for a period of time, until the start of next semester, when I can't be sure, but before the College Entrance Test, I will definitely come back to participate in the College Entrance Test together with all of you. While I'm away, I hope that you will work hard and not disappoint me.”

Su Xiang stared intently at Zhang Song's eyes. He wanted to see something from his eyes, but he failed. Right now, other than the endless vicissitudes of life in Zhang Song's eyes, he could not find any other clues. Regarding Zhang Song's understanding, Su Xiang still figured out a few reasons. He softly said: ”Are you going out to do full-time jobs and pay next semester's tuition? Didn't we agree that we will help you split the expenses? What kind of brain is this again? ”

He licked his dry lips and said indifferently: ”This time we can count on you, and next time we can count on you, but I can't count on you for your whole life. One year, and in less than a year, we will all have to go to university, and the fees for high school is nothing to the university, not to mention that we will have to stay for at least three to four more years. I know you're good to me, but I can't brag about your kindness to me as capital. For our friendship, I should go to work, so that I can look at you and raise my head in front of you. If you still regard me as your brother, then don't say anything more. I have already made my decision, and you know that what I have decided will not change. ”

Su Xiang did not say anything, but went forward and fiercely hugged Zhang Song. After a long while, the two of them separated. Su Xiang slowly said, ”We did not misjudge you. Having you as my brother is my greatest fortune in this life. I will always protect this fortune, because it is the wealth that we nine brothers have in common.

Zhang Song nodded his head affirmatively. ”With this life and no afterlife, with the eight of you accompanying me, no matter how much trouble I encounter outside, I will still come back smiling and give all of you peace of mind.”

”Remember to give us a call when you are free. As long as you are safe and sound outside, we will miss you.” Helpless, Su Xiang could only say a few blessings that were neither painful nor itchy.

Zhang Song grinned and said, ”I'm just going out for a while. It's not like I'm not coming back. I'll give you a message when we get there. I'll never forget you guys.”

Su Xiang nodded his head but did not say anything else. Actually, he had too many things he wanted to say, but at this moment, his emotions had already broken his heart. He didn't know what he should say to this close friend of his. Because they knew each other so well, they knew that once Zhang Song made a decision, there would be no room for negotiation. At times like this, silence was the best expression of brotherhood and silently wishing was the best concern.

He personally went downstairs to see Zhang Song off from the neighborhood, and watched his brother, who had a miserable background, lived a short life, yet had experienced a lot, slowly walk away until he completely disappeared from the quiet and dark street. At this moment, Su Xiang, who thought that he was heartless, finally shed his precious tears. He silently prayed for the blessing of Zhang Song …

At midnight, Zhang Song returned to the dilapidated residential district that he had lived in for sixteen years. He was lying on his bed, playing with the first gift his mother had given him on his first birthday. It was also the only present he had so far. Staring at the green jade pendant, her young face revealed a bitter and self-deprecating smile.

At this moment, a pure white figure appeared in Zhang Song's mind. That frown, that smile, and that look in his eyes all caused Zhang Song to sink into deep thought.

”She's been gone for nine months. Will she come back? Did she have a good nine months? Would she still remember me? Or have you long forgotten me? ” Feeling somewhat worried, Zhang Song silently thought in his heart.

His first meeting more than a year ago was on the day of his high school report. His first love was like a celestial goddess, almost luring away Zhang Song's soul.

Now that the two of them had separated, there was no news of the beauty. Although Zhang Song hated her, he declined to comment. In his heart, he loved her as always, and even though Zhang Song missed her day and night, he couldn't say it.

Night slowly slipped away as time flowed by.

Zhang Song tried his best to shake his head, trying to get rid of the complex emotions in his mind. Hatred? There must be, anyone who can face all these things and still say the words that do not hate; love? It was still going on. If he didn't love her, how could he think of her day and night?

Unknowingly, Zhang Song fell asleep in the midst of thousands of thoughts. In his hands, he was still holding the gift he planned to give to her that he deeply loved. Would that day come?

In his dream, Zhang Song was running all over the place. Was he looking for his beloved person? Or was he looking for the path of his life?
