Before I arrived at the door, I felt my heart beating hard, of course, not because I was afraid that the gift would not be liked, but because I was worried about how to control my emotions. Sure enough, she opened the door for me, Ge Yao, and we met again.

"Yu Hui!" she shouted at me.

"It's Fang Yufan, hasn't my brother come yet?" I felt uncomfortable, but in my impression, being mistaken for Yuhui was not just this time.

"I'm sorry, because you two look the same, and you always allow others to make mistakes a few times, right? That one...... Yuhui, didn't you come with you?" she smiled at me in a friendly smile, but I suddenly ran away from her smile.

"He's coming? "For some reason, I chose to pass by her. Now that I think about it, maybe I can't bear the weight of that smile.

Zhenzhen told the family that the space in the house before 9 o'clock in the evening belonged completely to our group of children, and the adults would not come back to disturb them. Naturally, the whole building seemed to be swallowed up by their frolicking. In my ears, I can only hear the footsteps of the clock and my heartbeat. Looking at her, I can still have a heartbeat, which is really thankful.

Her beauty seems to be competing with Zhenzhen for today's protagonist.

It's still early, and it's Zhang Shi who proposed to play the game of counting names. This was a very popular game at the time, which said that a large sheet of white paper with three concentric circles drawn on it should be prepared first, and the circles from large to small represented the meaning of friendship, hostility, and love. Then, everyone present wrote their names in each of the three concentric circles, but they had to be blindfolded to continue the game, and the paper had to be rotated to pass on. When you open your eyes, you need to keep the name of the person closest to you, cross out the name that is farthest away from you, and finally the relationship between the people left in the circle is the original meaning of the circle to which you belong. In normal times, I would be the first to pounce on it. But today, I always feel that I have been knocked away by the heat wave, and I especially want to find a quiet place to rest for a while.

I left everyone behind and went into Zhenzhen's study alone, leaning back in my chair to turn on the computer, clicking the mouse, browsing back and forth through the catalog, not interested in anything. I was playing with a mouse in my hand, my eyes were looking at the electronic clock hanging on the wall, and I felt that time was passing in my ears, and they didn't care, but why were they so slow every second they walked? I wasn't completely unaware of the noise in the living room, but the distance of a partition wall was enough for me to be quiet and safe to avoid the heaviness and anxiety. I hope Yu Hui will come sooner, otherwise, I will fall asleep.

"Yu Fan?"

"Oh. "I look up, it's chastity.

"I love your gift, thank you. ”

I suddenly realized that this listlessness had spread throughout the space, and I hesitated for a moment. "Really?" I hope to take my apologies away from this question, because I know that she is here to care for me. "Can you help me see how I can get it to spin?" she squinted, cute like a kitten.

"Okay. I couldn't refuse such a request, so I got up and helped her fiddle with the music box.

The living room was not as lively as it was just now, and everyone looked at me strangely, as if I had grown two heads. Zhang Shi came over and touched my forehead with his hand, and Su Mei pulled me and pressed me stiffly on the sofa. It was estimated that the two of them were going to sing and harmonize again, so I put down the music box, I bowed my head, and listened.

"What's wrong with you? Yu Fan?" Su Mei's words really made me confused. Because I didn't know if she could say a word of concern so seriously, but I didn't need anyone's attention, I told myself: no matter how congested the inner world is, I have to dredge it myself in the end. So, I chose to laugh and not answer.

Yu Hui finally came, and it was when everyone looked at the dishes on the table and drooled for a long time.

"I thought you were abducted by Master Fan. "I was in a much better mood at this time, thanks to Zhenzhen's timely greeting and her intention to let me turn the music box for her.

"I'm sorry, but I'm going to buy a cake. ”

He actually bought it, and the box was clearly printed with the label "Cheeseline", which was the best pastry shop in the city. What puzzled me even more was that the "Qishilin" was five or six stops away from where he got off the train, and there were many narrow alleys that could not be opened to traffic, so he should have used it to run.

"Yu Hui is amazing! I know I love this. "Sumi shows her instinct to eat the gods.

There was a bustle, Zhenzhen smiled and took the cake from Yu Hui's hand and put it on the coffee table next to him

"Yu Fan also bought it, crashed the car! You two really don't have a sense of tacit understanding, it's still a double tire. It's a lot of mouthful, and his words always make people feel so embarrassed from time to time. Suddenly, the room was pitch black, and there was not a single ray of light. Who turned off the lights? A faint orange gradually appeared in the inky darkness, and soon the orange yellow was sprinkled all over the faces of the people with a graceful attitude.

At the moment, it was so quiet that my heart was beating, "Happy bi."

thday to you......" Sumi took the lead in singing the birthday song with her hands beating the beat. While everyone applauded and congratulated Zhenzhen, the lights came on. Yu Hui took out a small peach-colored book from his bag, and there was a piece of letterhead with Luo Bu in it.

"A gift for you. The poetic atmosphere and elegant manners made him look like a nobleman, and at the same time as an angel who had come to save her.

"What is this?" asked Zhenzhen.

"You'll know when you see it. Yu Hui said mysteriously.

Zhenzhen solemnly took the book delivered by Yu Hui and opened it gently. With just one glance, he was so excited that he only choked up. Yingying's tears poured out of her eyes and dripped on the peach-colored notebook. It was the diary that was lost when she moved out of the orphanage, and there was a letter written to her, which was written by the teacher who took care of Zhenzhen and told her Grimm's fairy tales.

It turns out that in the past few days, Yu Hui has been busy with this. He knew that what Zhenzhen needed was not cakes, not candles, not greeting cards, not dolls, not music boxes......

It's not so much that I admire Yu Hui more, but I am also deeply moved. The gifts he gave were better than the treasures of the Alluring City, more than the words of the craftsmen, piercing the hearts and minds, making everyone feel as if they were about to melt in the candlelight, sharing hugs.

"What's going on? I'm dreaming...... It must be. Thank you... Thank you Yuhui. "Zhenzhen has become a tearful person," I really don't know what else to say...... I...... I was so impressed. She choked up, and everyone in front of her was moved.

Ge Yao's eyes moistened, and she looked at Yu Hui, as if all this was a special trip to destroy the last barrier in her heart. I knew that at that moment, the young Quanhui was only waiting for irrigation in Ge Yao's eyes.

I am not qualified to hope for her tears, because Yu Hui is really good, and his excellence is the pride of all of us. Should I be proud, maybe ......? At least I hadn't thought about it at the time.

My house is located in the front row of Yunshang Road, and looking out of the living room window, I can see the Purple Mountain Road that intersects with Yunshang Road, especially a vermilion telephone booth on the side of the road, which is eye-catching.

I remember that it was supposed to be a Sunday, and the four members of the family were there, which was very rare. It was a rare reunion, and my mother went out early to buy materials for lunch, and we sat downstairs in the living room watching TV. The myths and legends that were being shown on Channel 14 at that time were my family's favorite. I have to mention the elephant leather sofa, which is very obedient and has been unanimously rated as the most honest piece of furniture by all those who have experienced it. Needless to say, although it is a leather product, it does not show the slightest suffocation with the help of air conditioning, which is why it won the award and was used as a sample. So we know that this is a soft bone, and the usual bullying of it can be regarded as the extreme. My father leaned on the outside, and Yu Hui and I curled up and poured our bodies together, so that the sofa showed a flexible texture after squeezing, but the folds born after we rubbed them were like smiles, sweet and warm. Accompanied by laughter, the warmth is embedded with the crumbs scattered by the snacks.

Suddenly, the phone rang, and I thought it was Teacher Qiu, who was urging me to do my summer homework. She always calls my house, and it always makes me scared.

"Hey, hello?" I warned.

"Is it Fang Yufan's family?" was a girl's voice.

"Oh, I am. ”

"Yu Fan, I'm Ge Yao. ”

I wondered, could she be looking for me, or maybe I heard it wrong, or if she was looking for my brother, or if she was going to ......

"Yu Fan, do you have time to come out? ”

yes, my heart is beating so fast. I didn't bother to ask my father's opinion, so I agreed.

"Okay, where?"

"There's a phone booth in front of your house, the red one, see you there. ”

"Well, got it, then I'll be there. ”

Isn't it looking for Yu Hui, it's looking for me? A trace of uneasiness passed through my heart.

In this way, I came to the telephone booth, and there was a big tree next to the telephone booth, and its old age made me feel very sure. It didn't take long for her to come.

"Hi ......"

After a brief hustle and bustle, I moved on to the theme, which I should have thought of a long time ago, whether it was on the way to pay the contract, or at Zhenzhen's house that day, or on the basketball court that day. But I didn't want to touch the myriad obvious clues, because I knew there was nothing I could do about the request she was going to make, or, just like you can't raise a gun and kill yourself in another world.

"I think you can understand me, Yufan. Although I haven't spoken a few words to you, I can see it from the look in your eyes. I want to tell you that I was so nervous, I had never felt so special about anyone of the opposite sex, and I don't know if it was a ...... of love. ”

I didn't dare to be sentimental, yes, from the first smile I saw on her face. She paused for a moment and took my hand. This feeling is indeed as cool as ice spring water. It's the first time I've been so entangled with the opposite sex. However, it didn't mean much to her, her voice grew quieter and quieter, in tune with my heartbeat.

"But I like him, I can't lie to myself. I know that we are both young, and we don't understand many things very clearly, but at least the feelings are sincere, and I am lucky to come to Xinhua......"

She said, I listened. Ge Yao, you and I are so close, I can give you a hug when I stretch out my hand, and tell you that there is more than understanding in my eyes.

But I can't. Because the person she likes is Yu Hui, my brother, he is the focus, he is the pride. Like she said: he's the best.

"What do you want me to do?" I seemed to be eager to do something for her, and I really regretted what I had just asked, because it would bring me a spiritual disaster and make me shoot. "Can I help you tell him? You... But I can't help it.

In this way, we reached an agreement, I came to ask Yuhui's heart, and at the same time, my feelings for her were sealed by my side Argos. I walked step by step on the way home, and the taste was like an arrow in my lower abdomen, and the pain was unbearable. Less than half a street away, I had to pull it out and dye it into flowers with the blood that flowed down to give it to her favorite.

This half of the street is so long......

When I got home, I was already exhausted, and I immediately became emotional when I saw Yu Hui, but seeing his attentive appearance in front of the TV, things were pressed by me until the evening.

"Brother, I have something to tell you. ”

I came to "his" room, which used to be "our" too.

"Today I met a man. I said.

"Who? Dai Junchen?" he said nonchalantly.

"Did you guess it? It's Ge Yao. I accentuated.

"Huh? I said how about putting down the phone and you went out. When did you get so close?What's the matter, what did you talk to her about?" He was serious.

"What's on my mind? What do I have on my mind?" I hadn't told anyone, but on the way back from the stadium that day, I didn't say hello. I can only argue, I think this is my last dignity," she said, "she likes you, and I'm a lobbyist this time." ”

To my surprise, Yu Hui laughed very hard, and it was rare to see him laugh like this. I told him what had happened today, and I didn't miss every detail, except for her shaking hands with me, of course.

For a moment, Yu Hui breathed a long sigh of relief, he had never seen him sigh, this was the first time. I asked him what he wanted, and he replied in the affirmative, no! I was pleasantly surprised, but I still had to ask, "Do you like her?

"I can't say I don't like it, she's beautiful, the kind that will cause a burst of amazement at first glance. But this liking ...... Not enough. Don't hurt her, I'll leave it to you. He squeezed his eyes at me, and that look made me feel very grounded, as if I was very grateful. This is also the first time.

"Let's talk about something else. He said.

I said, "Let's talk about Fifi?" and we both laughed for a long time.

That night, we talked for a long time. Heaven and earth, chaotic Xuanyuan. I suddenly realized that I didn't know Yu Hui very well, or that it was only after that night that I began to really know him. The first is the pure land in his heart, his spiritual world is so pure, pure as not having a grain of dust, flowing water, big birds. The second is that he also has a strong sense of justice, he doesn't want anyone to be harmed, and he can sacrifice himself to deal with the crime. The third is that he has a big heart, and he will not hate anyone, even if it makes him bruised, he will comfort them. This especially makes me ashamed. His heart is full of such a passion, it is a thought that can redeem everything, it is a magnet that can attract everything, and it is a flame that can move everything. His love is so vast and so profound that one willingly falls into the reality or the illusion he depicts. Yu Hui, you are so unfathomable. This makes me have to admit – at least for now – that the worship is gone, and the bud of distance is born. The reason for my gloomy mood was not the distance between me and him, but my glad acceptance. It was as if I had been pushed into the bush by a ram, and I was covered in the deep pain of the punctures, the itching of the scratches, in short, the anxiety and the discomfort of the whole body.

Usually, whenever I have something awkward, I talk to Yuhui. But this time it didn't work, I couldn't open my mouth, as if these words, once spoken, were like being shot. I lay on the windowsill and pondered against the red wall, thinking of Dai Junchen, because in our group of friends, only he thought I was Fang Yufan, not "Fang Yuhui's younger brother". So, I immediately called and made an appointment to meet tomorrow.

Except for the mustache Li Tianhao, Dai Junchen's home is the farthest from the city among our partners, and the scenery is the most beautiful. His family built Jianguo Avenue and he can see small streams flowing and green trees and red flowers all year round. It is said that there are hot springs underground, so the water does not freeze, the plants and trees do not freeze, and the careful care of the social workers makes the scenery here spring all year round, which is quite a taste. The large bamboo and maple forests make people feel poetic, and it is even more difficult to find such a living environment in Moling City, where industry and commerce are paramount.

What I love most about Jianguo Avenue is the design of its crystal waterfall, the 30-meter-high crystal wall stretches left and right in the shape of a wave, and the embossed six huge handsome horses loom as if they want to cross the curtain wall and jump into the air. They have different forms and are full of energy, which is very reminiscent of the six horses of Zhaoling in ancient times. The entire curtain wall is made of crystal wood, and the edges and corners of the curtain are sparkling like diamonds in the sunlight after being hit by the clear spring. The boiling spring water comes down from the cliff, gushing endlessly, and falls on the horse's back, that is, splashing out dazzling ice swords, the momentum is extraordinary, and the pond is filled with mist, which is really a grand scene.

Every time I come here alone, I feel a sense of intimacy. My mother said that I was the life of the water, and the rivers, lakes and seas were all my relatives, and they blessed me all my life. In the form of water flow, my favorite is the waterfall, in the past 17 years, I have only been out of the far gate once, which is the Yellow Mountain. But in this city, although there is less momentum of "flying down 3,000 feet, suspected to be the Milky Way falling for nine days", there is more interest in "watching the jade girl hanging on the silk of the machine, and the sun is still a five-color text".

While admiring the scenery and reveling in the moths, Dai Junchen coldly pushed me from behind, almost pushing me off the pond.

"Hey, why is this so? to murder your brother is to be spurned by the world!" I said with a frown.

"Oh, who's your brother? and you didn't burn incense and kowtow, joke. Oh, by the way, we're brothers who don't fight. Dai Junchen first turned around and left, then stopped, and said with the wind: "My family has fresh cakes and milk tea, which are "holly", in order to express our brotherly feelings, you can be invited to eat, and if you are willing to follow, it will be regarded as a vote!"

I came to his house, which was a set of three bedrooms and one living room with a lot of personality, and the hall was small and large. Three rooms are spread out on one side, like a troop dormitory. In the sunny room, the building material is three-layer heating carbon panel, and the floor-to-ceiling sliding windows are wrapped in carbon plastic materials, which is only possible for Evergrande Construction Company in our country. Refrigerators were built-in, which was really rare at the time, and it can be said that many people had not seen such a complete design. Dai Junchen brought the cake and milk tea, and the two of us sat on the ground, chatting while eating.

"More than half of the summer vacation has passed, do you have any other arrangements?" I said.

"What else can I arrange, there is a lot of homework, especially there is too much English, there are only thirty papers, and I don't let people live. Dai Junchen seemed to have been holding back for five hundred years, and finally found someone to talk to, like a volcano erupting, and the air of injustice suddenly gushed out.

"Don't worry, just play with us, buddy, I'll have a way then. I patted my chest and said.

"What can you do? Aren't you looking for your brother to help you copy it?" Dai Junchen looked at me with disappointment.

"What? You're not rare?"

"It's not that it's not rare, it's that it's rare. The adults in the family said that the paper should be made by staring at me, and there will be one set of English, one set of mathematics, and one set of physics and chemistry every day. Don't think about TV or games. My dad is on a business trip today, and it will take three or four days to come back, but he left me homework when he left, and he will check it when he comes back. I was excited all night last night, and I was worried all night. ”

"Alas, wretched baby, I sympathize with you, brother...... Come, dry this glass! "I held the cake in one hand and the milk tea cup in the other.

"It's still you, brother, why don't you say that we are in love, okay, if you want to drink, let's drink something real. As he spoke, he saw a carp slap up, jumped up from the ground, and went straight to the kitchen. After a while, he brought four bottles of beer and put them on the ground, and then sat down in front of me again.

"Come on, come on, look at Li Bai, drink three hundred glasses of wine a day, whatever you don't worry about, you can go with ......the wind," he said, singing a little song he didn't know he had learned from there, it was very unpleasant, and then he opened the can and poured the wine into his mouth.

I hurriedly stopped him and asked suspiciously, "Why are you really drinking?"

"I always drink alone, when he's not home. He pushed my hand away.

"Who?" I asked.

"He! "I can hear it, full of resentment. In the blink of an eye, a bottle of beer entered his stomach.

"Where's your mother?" I asked.

"I don't know. He said.

"Do you have any problems with your dad? I don't seem to have heard much of you about the house. "I tried to ask what was causing his alcoholism.

He just nodded inexplicably, shook his head for a while, and didn't pay any attention to me. I knew that I could not persuade him, and I could not drink with him, so I got up and walked around.

He came to a bedroom and saw that the furnishings should be his parents' room. The large and gorgeous wedding photos are hung on the white wall, and the heroes and heroines on them are no longer young, as if they were re-taken after marriage. Come to think of it, the photographic technology and equipment in the era of our parents' love were very backward, and I didn't even see real colors on the photos in the year after I was born. The huge picture hangs on the wall next to the big bed, which looks very similar to my home, but for some reason, it looks much bigger than mine, and it feels very free. Opposite the foot of the bed is a dresser, which is clean and free of dust. Everything in the room seemed peaceful, and I felt it that way from the moment I first came in, but I couldn't tell what made it feel empty. I've tried to see how the furniture is arranged, I've looked for things that I should have but are missing, and I've been lying on the floor like a detective looking for some strange traces, but I've found nothing. Everything is normal and very calm, even empty.

I walked out of the bedroom and crouched down in front of Dai Junchen. Red-faced, he yelled for beer, but of course I couldn't follow him, so I dragged him onto the sofa and cleaned up the mess. When I was brushing the dishes in the kitchen, he turned on the TV and seemed to be refreshed again, he was talking to me about something, but the noise from the TV made me unable to hear his voice clearly, and I finished my work as soon as possible to accompany him.

"Drunk, aren't you? fool, like a fool. I sat down next to him and said.

"I'm drunk, no!" he held the remote control in his hand, and he didn't let go.

"I don't know if I can say a word, but it's hard to hold it. "I wanted to confirm from him that my feelings for this room were anything but unfounded. He nodded his head and motioned to me, "Okay!" ”

"I think...... Your home is fine. But...... It's a little lonely, I don't know what's wrong, and if I sleep here alone at night, it's either insomnia or nightmares. "I may have been a little heavier in tone.

He looked at me and smiled. I got up and turned and went into my room, and after a while, I took out a stack of photo albums and put them on the floor, and then he beckoned me over.

"Look! This is my mother. "The smell of alcohol in his mouth was so bad that I avoided him while looking at the picture. It was a very beautiful woman, with long hair, big eyes, and a very kind appearance.

"Look here, what's more, pretty, isn't it?" said Dai Junchen.

He was interested, and I followed him to look back. There are not many photographs, and the sixteen-page booklet is only four pages, and the back is all blank. But he turned to the last page one by one, was silent for a moment, and then pointed to the picture frame on the bookshelf in the living room, and I followed his guidance and walked closer.

"This is my father, a doctoral student who graduated from Peking University......" This introduction made me respect his father a little, but Dai Junchen was obviously not as excited as he was when he talked about his mother just now. In my eyes, it was a gentleman of Sven, through the thin lenses, I could see a pair of handsome and talented eyes, such a person who looked like a South Jin Dong Arrow, but without the arrogance of a scholar, he was very kind. Dai Junchen's parents should be a very happy couple, and such a family should also be warm and interesting.

"Didn't you ask why my house was empty? I told you, she was the one who was missing! The two of them divorced, and when I was eight years old, ......" Dai Junchen closed the album and pressed it to his chest.

I didn't know how to answer, I just felt hot.

A minute later, he started sobbing and I was overwhelmed.

"They always fight, and my mom gets beaten all over by him...... I remember one time...... It's all blood ......," Dai Junchen said weakly.

"Why?" I was a little puzzled, a little angry, a little excited.

His sobbing voice made my nose sore, and his voice trembled: "He...... He kept hitting her...... Total hit...... Woo......" he finally burst into tears.

I sympathetically said, "Cry, it's better to cry." ”

I could only comfort him like this, and I was already in tears. I was so distressed, but I could only look at him, touch his head, and hold his hand. I looked at the man's picture, and I didn't feel good. Looking at the photo album pressed by Dai Junchen on his chest, his eyes were blank, and he looked up at the ceiling, wanting to recreate what had happened in this room, but he couldn't bear to think of anything. I stayed with him, putting my hand on his back to help him feel a little warm, and gradually, the crying stopped, and he fell asleep. I took the blanket and mat out of the room, moved him up, and brought him a towel and quilt to put over his stomach. I sat on the floor, leaned back on the couch, and not long after, fell asleep too.

For the first time, I felt how important it is for a family to be together.

I don't know how long it took, but we both woke up. "Thank you today, Yu Fan...... Originally, I said that it was good to listen to you talk about the mountains, but I cried. Dai Junchen said.

"It's nothing, I don't have anything to do, I just want to come and play with you. "In this way, I don't think there is any need to talk about this topic anymore.

"You're happy, I'm jealous of you, you're really happy......" He put one hand on my shoulder, and looked at me with warm eyes, as if he had seen a raining starfall in the inky night sky.

"Well, I see. I nodded at him, and I think I really got it.

On the way home, I sat in the bus, and although there was air conditioning, I still avoided the sight of the driver and secretly opened half of the window, because I wanted to blow the wind, a natural wind. I want to go home, to the home that makes me familiar and warm. That night, I slept soundly, and Yu Hui's loud reading next door didn't disturb me, I just felt that it was the melodious singing that accompanied me to sleep.

The next day, I slept until almost eleven o'clock, and when I woke up, I knew very clearly that the first thing I needed to do was not to eat breakfast—because it was about to start lunch. Nor is it washing - because there is no time left. I contacted Ge Yao at eleven o'clock, because it was a weekend and my parents were at home, so the phone could only go out. I was in a hurry, afraid that she would wait, and I almost flew out.

It's still the big tree, it's still the phone booth. Presumably to be in harmony with the surrounding buildings, this phone booth was made in the style of 15th century England, not only has an all-copper appearance, painted with vermilion lacquer, but even the telephone is dialed on a disc. Truth be told, every moonlight that falls on it is reminiscent of a plot from a Conan Doyle or Christie novel. On this day, it was ** under the high sun, and the crimson color also converged a lot. It was still slightly hot, and I carefully pulled the door open, and there was still an unbearable heat inside. I picked up the receiver, took a long breath, and dialed the number. Soon, Ge Yao's sweet voice came from there: "Hey?"

"Ge Yao, I'm Yu Fan. At this point, my breath immediately calmed down.

She didn't greet me, as if she wanted to know the outcome of the judgment from my mouth. When I was leaving, Yu Hui repeatedly asked me to be tactful, which I naturally knew, and I agreed. But at this moment, I suddenly found that my voice was very loud, and I must know that I would be sad when I said it, no matter how I chose my voice and color, it was useless to study the words. How terrible it was to be rejected.

"It's been a busy couple of days at home, and I haven't had time to talk to him yet. "I lied to her.

"Oh, if you don't say it, don't say it. ”

"Are you angry? I'll ask ...... when I get back."

"No, it really doesn't have to. I was probably in too much of a hurry, and he didn't seem to pay much attention to me. The more time passed, the more I didn't dare to face ......"

"Why? He thinks you're good, he said you're beautiful. ”

"Really?"

"Hmm...... Of course, he always said...... Always say it. ”

What am I doing? Am I helping her, or am I going to hurt her worse? Yu Fan, Yu Fan, can you save her? I really can't tell her the truth, no, oh my God, she's going to cry. Or...... I'm not qualified to say either. I have to work hard all my life and can't hide Yu Hui's excellence, which is irreplaceable.

After less than ten minutes of conversation, we agreed to call her again two days later.

That night, my sky was not bright. I sat in front of the window and thought silently for a long time, thinking that this big window could give me a lot of hints, but as soon as I had a clue, I was swallowed up by the night endlessly, just like the song of a bird into Liao Kuo, and there was no news as soon as I went. Yu Hui next door didn't move, I think he was already asleep, he must have thought that the matter was settled, that's why he slept so deeply, he couldn't even hear my heartbeat. In Yu Hui's heart, this is not a big deal, maybe in Ge Yao's heart, he won't be sad for too long after getting the answer. But for me, it was like fighting a blizzard, and I couldn't breathe, and my whole body hurt terribly.

During that time, I didn't mention Ge Yao's matter to Yu Hui again because he believed that I had solved a problem that was not worth mentioning in his opinion, just as he believed in himself.

In this way, in the face of Ge Yao's innocence, I have been happy to make up stories for a while. However, as Ge Yao became more and more satisfied and dependent on the other side of the earpiece, I couldn't find an exit from the sea of loneliness, and I felt like I was lying on a broken wooden board, floating wherever I went.

Every afternoon, when it was about sunset, I would come to the phone booth on time and tell her the story I had made up the night before, and as I spoke, I kept scribbling her name on the phone with the key in my hand. Her laughter was always so sweet, so lovely—it made me so satisfied and so flustered. The satisfaction is because I can feel her smile as bright as a pear blossom on the other side of the earpiece, and the panic is because the happiness I bring her is a story of lying. The streets were crowned with a noble golden yellow because of the sun's charity, and in any case, it was the most beautiful dusk I can remember.

In a blink of an eye, more than ten days have passed.

Today, the refrigerator at home seems to be much larger than usual, but there are very few things hidden in it, only one bottle of Coke is left, how can I bear to fight its idea when I am so kind? I gave up looking for coolness, lying alone on the floor of the living room, posing in a large-character signature sleeping position, looking at the huge crystal chandelier on the roof, thinking of Ge Yao, thinking of her fragile and charming eyes, full of trust in me in dreams and reality......

It was the most ordinary day of that summer vacation, and with twilight, I came to the phone booth again. From the inside, you can see the pedestrians on the street through the glass, and it is very clear that they are all looking at me today, probably thinking: why is there this guy in this phone booth every day?

Today's story is "Yu Hui told me that he had seen her in a dream, and he went to the beach to pick up crabs together...... "In order to tell the story wonderfully, I reviewed it for a long time, and it is the one I am most proud of. I skillfully dialed her number, and after a long time, I finally got through.

"Yaoyao, I'll tell you, don't let him know, he dreamed last night, and he ......"

"Thank you, Yufan. ”

Why? I wondered, and I didn't know what to say. "No, Yu Hui and I are brothers, aren't we also good friends? I'm happy to see you and Yu Hui happy, no thanks." I'm not done yet, don't interject, where are you talking about......"

"Yu Fan, I don't want to hear his story today. ”

"Oh?"

"I want to hear your story. ”

"Don't be funny, I have something to say, let's listen to me, and then guess what, you were caught by that crab, Yu Hui was so anxious......"

"Yu Fan, you are a good person, I'm sorry, I'm too selfish......"

I realized that it was the East Window that had happened, and immediately turned into a rock, and stood there speechless for a long time, as if I could see her fragile and charming eyes, showing trust in me in dreams and reality.

"I, the ......" I couldn't say anything.

After a while, on the other end of the phone, a earnest voice came ...... "You lied to me the first time we talked, didn't you?" Her voice trembled, and then she tried to keep her voice continuous, so as not to let sobbing ruin her right to speak. "Why not...... Why didn't you tell me sooner? Why? Can you tell me something?"

She cried, tears streaming down the phone line to the palm of my hand. "I ...... "Yu Fan, what are you going to say? She won't accept you, you have your window, you have your phone booth, that's enough."

"Tell me everything. She said firmly.

In the face of her questioning, I could no longer avoid it. The truth, like the sacrificial vessel lent to Hypnos, I think it's time to take it back, and I don't care about the cruelty of the outcome, because I am hurting an ignorant person in the most cruel way. Relief, perhaps behind the extreme cruelty, I decided to use my shoulders to support such a stage that I wrote, directed and acted by myself.

"I just don't want to see you sad, I asked Yu Hui at that time, in fact, he said...... "I was about to continue, but Ge Yao interrupted me.

"Yufan, you don't have to tell me what he said, because I have something I want to know more now. You like me, don't you?" she said in an aggressive tone.

"Where? I didn't think about it, we're good friends. You always like to think about it......" At this time, the telephone line in my hand was about to be cut by me.

"Don't you want to talk to me about something?" she smiled.

"I didn't ...... No, not really. "I'm trying to hide myself.

"Well, okay then. I hope you are happy too...... Yu Fan ......"

"What?" I pretended not to understand what she meant.

“...... Goodbye!" she was determined.

"Goodbye...... "I'm a little sluggish.

The sunset had already covered most of the city, and I happened to step on the edge of the darkness, watching my shadow disappear little by little, disappearing into the darkness.

Walking out of the telephone booth, I saw a pear blossom tree in the distance, it was so lonely, growing on the side of the road that no one cared about. The pear blossoms were fragrant, but they couldn't withstand the lingering of a short wind, and they fell to the ground, and were swept up by a long wind and sent to my pocket. I took it with me, said goodbye to the wet mic, and surrendered to the night

The sky is blue, as if telling the earth about her beauty. The branches of the trees swayed softly, as if hearing the sound of salsa. Birds sing leisurely and land on telephone poles, forming a horizontal line, as if to say good morning to people. I was woken up by them, from the battle Transformers to the transformation into Fang Yufan, I was really unwilling! But when I thought of my friends gathering by the pool for a while, I was so excited that I quickly jumped out of bed and got into Yu Hui's house, noisily urging him to get up and wash up with me.

"If it weren't for my father's temporary change of fortune, it would have been nice for the family to go swimming. The toothbrush went up and down in his mouth, and what he said was also Nunu's muttering: "But Tianhao and they can come, it's also good." ”

"Yes, Su Mei and Zhang Shi haven't combined these two swords for a long time, and I'm really looking forward to their perfect performance. "I quickly cleaned up and was ready to go.

Two days ago, my father brought a few swimming tickets from the company and planned to go to the family for a day of entertainment. Later, he said that the company was in an emergency, and his mother was going to take care of his grandmother, so the good plan came to naught. My father didn't want to disappoint our brothers too much, so he brought a few more tickets, saying that we should ask a few classmates to go with us. In this way, our brothers, Dai Junchen, Zhang Shi, Tianhao, Zhenzhen, Su Mei, etc., met and came to one of the best swimming venues in the city, the crystal swimming pool with the reputation of "Tianchi".

A boxy cherry-red building, I don't know what kind of material it is painted, it looks bright and not dazzling. It is surrounded by rich acorn trees, with red and green forming its main colors. The 50 million square meter swimming pool was built entirely to Olympic-level standards. The use of solar energy, the comprehensive utilization of water resources, advanced heating and air conditioning systems, as well as control systems and other energy-saving and environmentally friendly technologies make everyone who comes here feel very comfortable and comfortable. In the early years, my father's company was not too busy, and he would always ask my mother to come here to exercise after work. However, due to the restrictions of ticket prices, there are not many people on weekdays, especially on such an early morning, and it is even more inaccessible.

When a few of us met at the door, we chased and chased inside, and it was really a fuss. It's not like when I started school, I knew that I was restrained in front of the teacher, and they all showed their true colors, like those crying seeds in the Stone Record, babbling and babbling made people uneasy. Thanks to being here, in another place, the staff will never be allowed to come in unless they are driven out into the street.

"Whose idea came here?" Zhang Shi finished speaking, and glanced at Su Mei, it was a special look, which made people who knew it well feel strange when they saw it.

"Brother Fang!" Su Mei responded to him.

"Are they a treat?" Zhang Shi asked deliberately.

"Anyway, I didn't bring any money to come out, and when I went out, I said to my family: 'It's really happy to know two brothers like the Fang family,' hey......." Su Mei stepped forward, stood between me and Yu Hui, put her arm on our shoulders, and dangled her feet in the air a few times before putting them down.

"Double-'cheap' is coming! Run......" Dai Junchen pulled me, his hands in the air making exaggerated movements.

"Oh, the twin swords are back in the rivers and lakes, something big must have happened!" I pretended to make a beard with my hands, thoughtful.

"What is this about today's water war? I'm looking forward to it. Zhenzhen said. She actually waded into this troubled water, which is not common in normal times, knowing that she is in a very good mood today, she must have a deep skill in the water, and maybe she is also a practitioner.

Yu Hui and I began to learn to swim when we were five years old, but later because he had otitis media, he stopped learning; Zhang Shi also said that he could dive, but I don't believe it, because in my opinion, his big belly can only be used as a lifebuoy; Dai Junchen has been on the swimming team since elementary school, and last year he won the third place in the high school group of the city's middle school swimming competition on behalf of the school, and he is a good water player at the athlete level; Tianhao said that when he was in his hometown, he always went to the pond to touch fish, but that seemed to have nothing to do with swimming; Su Mei's father was the head coach of the swimming team of the sports team, and I can't remember the name, but she always emphasized that the tiger father has no dog girl......。 Based on the above, we all cast a disdainful eye on Zhenzhen. In the corridor leading to the locker room, everyone was gearing up, each with a ghostly idea.

"And me!wait," she said, I don't know when, she stood behind me. The familiar voice made me turn my head sharply, and Ge Yao looked at me and smiled and said, "Hey! I can read the reason why she emphasized the word "Fang".

Her outfit today was very different from the few times we had seen her, with a pink tank top, a white tennis skirt, sky-blue sneakers, a coffee-colored baseball cap, and her long black hair and skin that was dazzlingly white in the sun, and I had to turn my head to stop my heart beating faster and faster. Seeing this, she ran to Su Mei, pointed at me and said mischievously, "Sister...... Look at him, ignore me. "It turned out that Su Mei told Ge Yao about our event arrangements today and asked her if she wanted to participate. At first, Ge Yao was a little hesitant, but after thinking about it again, she still chased after Su Mei.

"Who said I didn't pay attention to you?" I was a little overwhelmed, but in the eyes of others, I was in vain.

"What's going on? What's going on?" Zhang Shi leaned over, "Okay! We can't quarrel like this as soon as we meet, unity is still necessary, especially in such an era where there are many masters, and not everyone can resist the bloody wind and rain on the rivers and lakes." We must do three things: the first is unity, the second is unity, and the third is unity......! When the boos rang out, we went into the men's and women's locker rooms.

I came out of the locker room, and it happened that Ge Yao also happened to walk out of the women's locker room. The two of us stared at each other for a moment and didn't speak, just smiled at each other and said hello again, and walked towards the pool together.

"Yu Fan, give you the key card. Yu Hui came from behind. It turned out that I forgot to take the key to the locker in a little confusion, so I took the key chain and put it on my wrist, grinning embarrassedly at Ge Yao.

Ge Yao didn't even look at me, and ran forward. Yu Hui didn't know Ge Yao's Heart Sutra at this time, and shouted "Yaoyao" as usual.

Ge Yao subconsciously stopped, turned her head carelessly, and generously replied "Yu Hui", and then glanced at me, as if saying to our brothers at the same time: "Which of you two is good at water?"

"Of course it's Yuhui. Without waiting for us to open our mouths, Dai Junchen, who was already waiting for us by the pool, rushed to answer.

Zhenzhen moved relatively fast, she was already in the pool and was hedging with Tianhao slapping the water with her hand. When he saw us coming, he shouted at me on the shore: "Yu Fan, come down quickly, help me kill him!" Tianhao shouted at Yu Hui: "I am not afraid if you two brothers come down." ”

At this time, Zhang Shi had been quietly behind Zhenzhen for some time, and suddenly hit the unprepared Tianhao in the face with the palm of his right hand. Tianhao hurriedly turned around and escaped, and shouted vigorously: "Don't bring such a play, make a surprise attack." ”

Zhang Shi and Zhenzhen laughed, obviously a victorious gesture.

I am on top of the pool, a few steps in front of the underwater Tianhao, "plop" jumped off the pool, and hit the waves with a single palm at Tianhao. Tianhao covered his face with his hands and turned his back to me, Zhang Shi and Zhenzhen took the opportunity to chase after Tianhao and attack Tianhao, until he begged for mercy. At this time, seeing that Dai Junchen, who loved to fight unevenly, acted bravely, helping Tianhao to fight back against the siege of the three of us, and kept muttering: "Let you bully people, it's not fair to fight three to one." ”

Ge Yao casually sat on the edge of the pool and watched the fierce water battle, but there was no expression on his face. Yu Hui didn't know what to think, so he didn't go into the water to participate in the battle, but sat next to Ge Yao and laughed at the rivers and lakes. At this time, the two did not communicate, which seemed very awkward to me, but Yu Hui didn't know that Ge Yao was indeed uncomfortable. Fortunately, Su Mei came and sat on the other side of Ge Yao, and the two of them exchanged heads and ears while splashing with four feet, which was regarded as relieving Ge Yao's heart.

Everything is blue, beautiful blue. In English, blue has the meaning of melancholy.

I swam back and forth and saw Yu Hui and Su Mei both jumping out of the pool and walking side by side in a freestyle swim at the same time.

I played for a while and went ashore, stepping barefoot on the soft plastic floor, walking towards Ge Yao step by step, with some excitement, but at the cost of heaviness. She was the only one sitting on the shore, splashing with her feet, and the stirring shimmer circled around her, dressing her up like a dancing elf.

"Don't have a smile?" I said to Ge Yao as I looked at the waves.

She turned her head, but her feet didn't stop, but a little less often.

"Tired?" Her eyes were filled with darkness, and I didn't dare to ask for even a single crystal.

I blinked, tightened my lips, nodded and sat down by the pool. Ge Yao didn't have words, and I didn't know what to say?

Not far away, everyone was chasing in the water, Zhang Shi dragged Dai Junchen's arm, and Yu Hui dived to the bottom of the water as if waiting to scare someone.

"Go and swim, don't sit here with me. Ge Yao's words seemed to deliberately break the silence, and I happened to be at the bottom of a staircase. "Well, you can swim in the water for a while. Without waiting for her to answer, I jumped into the water again.

I floated in the water, enjoying the compatibility of my body with the water, and the weaving of the horizontal lines with the skin made me feel like an infinite thin knife cutting my body with great enjoyment. I tried to fully immerse myself in this blue blue, for a second, for five, for thirty seconds......

I don't know how long later, Ge Yao swam breaststroke past me, folded his hands and rushed forward, and then under the drive of his arms, he spread the water to the left and right, and at the same time his legs drove his feet to contract, and then pedaled the water hard, a continuous stretching action like a professional swimmer. In fact, her figure is really suitable for being a swimmer. I watched with envy as she swam past me, and then, unconsciously, I swam two laps behind her in breaststroke.

She seemed to know that I was following behind her, so she slowed down. I also knew that she was waiting for me, and we docked by the pool. At the same action, standing in the water, paddling the water with his hands, looking at each other, there were still no words, and they all wanted to speak, but after more than ten seconds, it was still difficult to open their mouths. simply used the same action to adjust the mentality at this time, pretending to look into the distance, as if they were looking for a pool game.

"I went up, changed my clothes, and didn't want to swim. As she spoke, Ge Yao glanced at me, but didn't move.

"Oh," I subconsciously responded, but didn't know what to say.

"On the surface, you look like an elf, but you're actually a piece of wood. "Ge Yao really went ashore.

I seemed to know that she was angry, angry, and vomiting, especially the moment when she stepped on the last step with a ladder in her hand and looked at me sideways, her eyes were like a knife poking at me in the heart, and I was still at a loss after I didn't know what to do.

Everyone changed their clothes and walked out of the swimming pool, Dai Junchen, Zhenzhen, Zhang Shi, Tianhao, Su Mei and Yu Hui were still experiencing the games in the pool with great interest. Especially Zhenzhen said to Yu Hui unsatisfactorily, "When will you invite us next time?"

Yu Hui just looked at her with a smile, and Tianhao interjected: "Beautiful you, are you still here? ”

Su Mei asked Ge Yao if she wanted to go home or go to the mall, and Ge Yao said she wanted to go home. Su Mei said: "Then you go home first, Zhenzhen and I will go to the mall and then go home." So they went their separate ways. Yu Hui asked me if I was going home, I looked at Ge Yao who was walking in front, Yu Hui nodded in understanding and left with Tianhao. I hurried a few steps to catch up with Ge Yao and said, "I'll send you."

"Oh. Ge Yao had neither expression nor refusal. So, I followed her and talked about endless topics. One moment I will talk about Fei Fei's going abroad, and the other will bluff the interesting stories that Yu Hui and I used to learn to paint. Ge Yao smiled occasionally and didn't say a word. In fact, she didn't want to go home at all, she walked forward without a sky, and unconsciously walked into the fifth avenue.

The famous Five Avenues is located in the center of the city, and is a collective name for a block dominated by five roads: Machang Road, Mu Nan Road, Dali Road, Changde Road, and Chongqing Road that run side by side from south to north. This block is dominated by "Ma Mu Da Changzhong", which is the most complete western-style building complex in China so far, and Wudao has more than 2,000 garden-style houses with different national architectural styles built in the twenties and thirties of the last century, with a construction area of more than one million square meters. Among the more than 300 typical buildings, there are 89 British buildings, 41 Italian buildings, 6 French buildings, 4 German buildings, 3 Spanish buildings, as well as many Renaissance buildings, classical buildings, eclectic buildings, Baroque buildings, courtyard buildings and Chinese and Western buildings, which are known as the International Architecture Expo Garden. Foreign name The Five Majo

Ave

ues

In 1860, the Qing Dynasty designated this place as the British Concession. After the Xinhai Revolution in 1911, many relatives of the Qing Dynasty, the old and the young, as well as many wealthy businessmen, celebrities from all walks of life, Hongjiao, and dignitaries of the Beiyang ** period also left footprints here. Some Beiyang ** cabinets, including presidents, prime ministers, governors, overseers, governors, mayors and other celebrities from all walks of life, live here after going into the wilderness, trying to make a comeback. Five Avenues became a "country within a country" because of the changes in society and government, the concession became a political haven, and the geography, transportation and customs advantages here are full of business opportunities.

At this time, I was like a tour guide, showing Ge Yao the historical knowledge I had received from Yu Hui while making comparisons. Ge Yao was also confused by my eloquence at this time, and kept looking at me with envy. The more I talked, the more energetic I became, so much so that my hands danced.

As a concession, Wudao is a typical representative of municipal gardens and residential buildings: first, it forms a landscape of Western-style buildings with a variety of postures; second, the privacy of the buildings constitutes a deep and quiet street market style; third, many politicians, compradors, dignitaries and dignitaries live here in modern times. The history of the Fifth Avenue was the British Concession's "outside the wall promotion circle", the terrain was low-lying, and then it was filled, architects from all over the world have built houses here, and the place name of the Fifth Avenue also has three characteristics: first, there are many independent mansions, the number of alleys is small, and the famous buildings are all identified by the house number, not another name, no plaque. The second is that the streets and alleys are mainly "li", and the name of "alley" has disappeared here. Third, there are common names for apartment estates such as "villa", "village" and "fang", such as: horse farm villa, Anle Village, Yuwenfang, etc. In particular, the small western-style building where the original British scholar Da Vins lived, called the "Da Vins Building", this typical Spanish garden villa is the earliest building on the Fifth Avenue.

"Hey, buddy, is it Yu Hui or Yu Fan?" I was talking energetically, but I was suddenly interrupted, and when I looked at it, it was Huo Ziqian coming towards me.

"Senior, I'm Yu Fan. "I try to be polite in front of Ge Yao.

"Yu Fan," Huo Ziqian smiled at me slyly, patted me on the shoulder, and glanced at Ge Yao with his eyes, "...... this beauty?"

"My classmate's sister, we just met. "What am I doing here? I don't know why I blurted out such an unreliable sentence, and it was very unkind to Ge Yao. Ge Yao looked at me with puzzled eyes, not understanding why I was talking nonsense.

Huo Ziqian didn't care what I said at all, he just stared at Ge Yao, and kept touching his lower bar with his hand, as if he was smiling but not smiling, smiling but not smiling, which made people feel very uncomfortable. Ge Yao subconsciously hid behind me, and I instinctively protected her with my arms.

"Yu Fan, you kid is not shallow, this chick is so beautiful. Huo Ziqian shook his head with long hair fluttering, and his eyes searched for Ge Yao behind me.

I'm very angry at his behavior. "Senior, let's leave if there's nothing to do," I want to leave him quickly, for Ge Yao's sake.

"Don't mind, just meet and leave, shouldn't you. Huo Ziqian stood in front of us, "I haven't repaid your brothers for their great kindness in saving my brother that day, so let's do it, I invite you and this beauty to go to the Yuhuatai in front of you to rub it." ”

"I want to go home," Ge Yao said timidly, tugging at the corner of my coat with her hand.

"Don't interject, don't get in the way of women between old men. "Huo Ziqian misinterpreted Ge Yao's meaning, he thought that Ge Yao was preventing me from continuing to communicate with him. However, his attitude towards Ge Yao made me extremely disgusted, and I immediately changed the pretended respectful attitude towards Huo Ziqian just now, frowned, and raised my voice an octave: "What are you doing?"

"I can't get used to seeing men who are pinched by women," his expression was obviously annoyed and angry, "It seems that you really don't give me face? ”

I know very well that he is giving me the last order, if there is no Ge Yao, maybe I will not suffer the loss in front of me, and it will not be a cowardice to go downhill with the donkey. However, he actually yelled at Ge Yao in front of me, and he couldn't get off the stage for me, and I couldn't admit it in front of Ge Yao. When I mentioned my dantian qi, I strongly rejected him: "Don't go." "Although, I know that Huo Ziqian's door is powerful, but I can't care about anything at this time, let's talk about it for a while.

"Good boy, you dare to compete with me, and you don't inquire about my Huo someone's background. As he spoke, my hand came up, and I blocked his slap with my arm. Afraid of hurting Ge Yao, he pushed her back and motioned her to stay away. Because of his distraction for a second, he was kicked to the stomach by Huo Ziqian's feet. I never take the initiative to provoke people, but I am not a bad seed who suffers, I took a few steps backwards and stood firmly, and pounced on Huo Ziqian, and the two of us instantly became a mess.

Ge Yao had no choice but to cry: "Don't fight, don't fight...... fight". Fortunately, the law enforcement officers of the Fifth Avenue Urban Management patrolled here and forcibly pulled us away.

Huo Ziqian saw that I was not convinced, and his usual domineering spirit weakened a little. He stroked his narcissistic long hair with his hand, dusted off his checkered crop shirt, glared at me with hatred, and walked two steps without forgetting to turn around and rush back to the frightened Ge Yao, pointing with his hand, and yelling: "It's because you ruined our buddy's friendship." ”

Huo Ziqian left, the city management law enforcement withdrew, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, only me and Ge Yao looked at each other, I looked at her with a forced smile, she looked at me with sobs, just like that, in order to calm her frightened mood, I took her hand and walked out of the fifth avenue comfortingly.

The sky gradually darkened, and I was speechless all the way. When she got downstairs to her house, the sky was completely obscured by dark clouds, there was no moon and no stars, but the lights of every house in the building became brighter and brighter through the glass windows. Ge Yao hugged me suddenly, this is the first time I have been restrained by a girl, and there are many characters in my mind, Yu Hui and Fei Fei, Zhang Shi and Su Mei, I think of Cheng Ying......

"Ge Yao, Ge Yao," I tried to wake her up, "go upstairs, Su Mei must be waiting for you at home for dinner." I removed her hand, patted her gently on the shoulder, and persuaded with a smile.

Ge Yao was not stubborn, and gently pounded my chest with her small fist: "You are so annoying," After speaking, he turned around and ran towards the entrance of the building, and turned around to rush to me, who was still standing stupidly, and gave a sweet smile.

This night, I had insomnia.
