"I saw you in the newspapers. Liao Tang took a sip of the black tea in the cup and said to the boy in front of him casually.

"And then?" Lu Tingye raised his eyebrows, waiting for her words.

"Then," Liao Tang paused and said, "I seem to have seen that girl next to you." ”

Lu Tingye let out a faint "oh", he forgot about it, he said, "That's a friend I grew up with." ”

"That's a childhood sweetheart?"

"Sort of. Lu Tingye cut a piece of cake and slowly moved it to Liao Tang, looking at her holding her elbows with a curious expression, he couldn't help laughing.

"Is Icelandic black tea too sour?"

Liao Tang choked, she didn't have sour, she really just asked casually.

The corners of Lu Tingye's mouth hooked up a meaningful smile, and then slowly stuffed the food into his mouth.

"You're peeking at me?"

"You're less narcissistic. Liao Tang looked away and replied quickly.

The other party smiled softly, thinking that she was still the same stubborn little face, and she hadn't changed at all.

"How do you have my number?" asked Liao Tang as he changed the subject.

"I asked Ah Sheng at the bar if he wanted to come, and he was owed a meal. ”

Liao Tang pondered for a while and said, "By the way, how did you know him?"

"Between boys, how else can they get to know each other, nothing more than playing games, talking about girls, drinking and so on. ”

"Talking about girls?"

"Talk about you. His eyes fell on Liao Tang, and he spit out two words concisely and powerfully.

Liao Tang smiled, thinking that you would continue to make it up, I really thought I was innocent and stupid.

"Actually, it's not exactly," Lu Tingye paused, and said lightly: "He has a girl he likes very much, but he can't be together." It seems to be your friend. ”

"Sister Xin's personality is so cool, even I can't imagine what kind of boy she will like in the future. ”

"Hmm. ”

Lu Tingye responded, and suddenly reached out to gently wipe the corners of Liao Tang's mouth, and she didn't react for a while, her eyes widened, and she looked at him in a daze.

Watching him put the hand that wiped the cream from the corner of her mouth into his mouth again, he continued: "It's so sweet." ”

Liao Tang's face turned red instantly, she lowered her head and drank black tea as if she hadn't heard. Thinking to himself, is this still Lu Tingye, I feel that I don't seem to have an in-depth understanding of him before.

"Because you did it. ”

Liao Tang had an idea, and said softly in a voice as sweet as honey.

Lu Tingye just put down the fork in his hand and looked at her with a sparkling look, "I think you will be a good actor." ”

"Really?" Liao Tang pretended to be surprised.

"Lie to you. ”

Lu Tingye stood up, cleaned up the mess on the table, and said to Liao Tang as a matter of course: "I don't have an umbrella, you send me back." ”

"Don't you have a chauffeur to pick you up?"

"I, to, you, send. Lu Tingye glanced at Liao Tang and said word by word.

“......”

Liao Tang took the cheesecake from the proprietress and the proprietress smiled at her with an indescribable smile, as if she had completely misunderstood something.

Gentleman Lu Tingye helped her push open the door. They stood under the eaves, the sky was gray, the ground was full of muddy puddles, and the rain didn't seem to wash away the summer heat.

Liao Tang opened the umbrella, it was a small umbrella that was not spacious enough, and she herself did not expect to use this umbrella to shield countless celebrities from fans......

Lu Tingye was very tall, and he could only bend slightly under the umbrella. He admitted that he was just to tease Liao Tang, but in the end he was taken seriously, and he had no choice but to take advantage of the situation for the sake of face, and he would be under her umbrella.

"Where is your home?" asked Liao Tang.

"I'll send you home. ”

"It's a pity you don't have an umbrella. Liao Tang opened his mouth in a mocking tone.

"Just leave me near your house. Lu Tingye said lightly.

Liao Tang nodded, since this is the case, then fulfill your wish to send me home.

"The umbrella is tilted to your side. Lu Tingye suddenly spoke.

"You're asking for a lot, remember I'm holding your umbrella. ”

Liao Tang pursed his lips and tilted the umbrella slightly towards himself.

"Who are you bringing this for?" Lu Tingye glanced at the cake she was carrying and asked casually.

"Family. ”

"I'll help you get it, and you hold the umbrella. ”

Liao Tang's house is relatively close to the school, although it is not on the same street, but the walk will not be too long.

Passing by a boutique, Liao Tang stopped. She looked at the window of the illuminated merchandise, which was called "

emembe

The design of the store is pure Renaissance architectural style, and it is one of her favorite stores.

"What's wrong?"

"You wait," Liao Tang saw that the rain had stopped, so he put away the umbrella and handed it to him, with a hint of command in his tone: "You stand here and wait for me, don't move." ”

She remembers visiting once before and has a vivid memory of a mural. It is a very intentional impressionist painting, as if it came from the hands of an unknown painter.

The painter nominated for this as "Everyone is looking for pleasure, but you are a fire".

Liao Tang bought the painting, she walked up to Lu Tingye, handed him the wrapped gift, and said, "I wish you a happy eighteenth birthday!"

Lu Tingye was stunned, took the gift, and asked her, "How do you know?"

Liao Tang smiled proudly, "You forgot? ”

"Thank you, thank you for being with me today. ”

Lu Tingye's tone was serious, he looked at the girl with clear eyes and crooked eyebrows, this little beast with teeth and claws finally put away its claws.

She squinted and smiled, "You're welcome." ”

Liao Tang and he walked slowly forward a few steps, she wanted to tell him to send it here, but it was almost there.

Lu Tingye suddenly spoke softly and said nonchalantly, "Have you noticed that someone is following us?"

Liao Tang thought to himself that it wouldn't be Tang Yunan's prank, he was also walking behind last time. In order not to make Lu Tingye think too much, Liao Tang shook his head calmly and said, "It should be a homeless little wild cat nearby, I have felt this way before." ”

"Really?"

"Well," Liao Tang quickly responded, and said, "Why don't you watch me walk forward, and when I disappear from your sight, you will turn around and go back?"

It was an unintentional sentence, but she felt a little weird after she said it.

"Liao Tang, I will walk forward with you. ”

"You're not going home?"

"It's later. ”

Lu Tingye smiled. Although he doesn't know what will happen in the future, it is worth being sure that she will not have an ordinary life, or go with the flow for the sake of life.

She was a unique and detached girl, he had seen it a long time ago. He couldn't forget the day she was framed and banned from the piano competition, her back was slightly straight, and she looked calm, and that moment fulfilled his appreciation for her.

Liao Tang waved goodbye to him, and did not forget to add: "Remember to keep my gifts." ”

Yes.

◇◇◇

When Liao Tang returned home, he found that the living room was in chaos, and there was basically glass ballast everywhere he could see. From the time she went out for an afternoon to the time she returned, it was as if a catastrophe had befallen her.

Only Tang Yunan was still sitting on the sofa, not moving. Liao Tang felt a burst of low pressure from his lonely back.

"Tang Yun'an," Liao Tang walked up to him and asked, "What happened?"

"Nothing. ”

Tang Yunan's eyes were gloomy, and he replied lightly.

"Do you want to talk about it?"

"It's not a big deal. It's just that your father and my mother quarreled, and the two fought, so the family became like this. ”

Tang Yunan had already tried his best to make his tone calm and light, he didn't want Liao Tang to fall into dire straits.

"Who are you fooling?" Liao Tang frowned, and couldn't help but burst into a foul mouth, she said, "Aunt Tang is so gentle, will she do it?"

After saying this, thinking of Aunt Tang's kind and gentle appearance, she must have suffered a lot of grievances, Liao Tang's eyes suddenly turned red, and she looked sideways.

"Okay, Sister Liao, isn't there me?" Tang Yun'an opened his mouth, only to find that his voice was a little hoarse, and he smiled bitterly: "I stopped ......"

stopped Tang He's domestic violence that could happen at any time, and Tang Yunan said something unspeakable to Liao Tang.

"Where's Aunt Tang?"

"They went out after arguing. ”

Tang Yun'an was very unhappy in his heart, he thought of his mother's red eyes, the way tears slowly slid down, and finally she whispered that she wanted to be alone for a while.

Tang Yun felt a pang of pain in his heart. He took out a lighter from his pocket, lit a cigarette, looked at Liao Tang beside him, and asked calmly, "Do you smoke?"

There was no sound.

"Sister Liao. ”

Tang Yun'an shouted Liao Tang, and when he looked at her again, she stood there still, and something shiny on her face slid instantly, and that was the first time he saw Liao Tang who was emotionally out of control at this time.

Tang Yunan panicked inexplicably, extinguished the cigarette in his hand, and his voice began to become softer: "It's really okay, don't be sad, okay......"

"Tang Yun'an," Liao Tang paused, took a deep breath, and said, "I can't bear to see my aunt wronged, but I don't know what to do......"

After Liao Tang finished speaking, she covered her head blankly and slowly squatted down, her shoulders trembled slightly, she buried her head and muttered to herself: "Why...... Obviously, it was good before. ”

Tang Yunan carefully supported Liao Tang, and he whispered: "And me, I won't let my mother be wronged." ”

But they don't know that there are many things happening that can't be stopped. They are powerless to change some of the things that have happened, the unused vouchers, the expired canned fish, the kefirt from last night and the people who may be leaving at any moment.
