Chapter 27: Sprout

Knock knock!

"I'll pay for it. Siwei looked at the little brother who ordered the food.

The little brother was stunned for a moment, and then truthfully reported the number.

Si Wei didn't say a word, scanned the QR code to pay, and asked instead: "How long will it take for my noodles to be good?"

"Wait a minute, I'll go to the back kitchen and see. The little brother walked briskly back to the store.

The noise disappeared, Si Wei pressed his sideburns and propped himself on the table, and after waking up from that dream on the subway, his head was buzzing, and the whole person was a little out of spirit.

Siwei didn't have much appetite for this meal, and he ate half of the bowl of noodles and left.

She walked on the side of the street, half-bowing her head and not paying attention to anyone, until an old voice sounded in her ears: "Little girl, thank you just now." ”

Si Wei tilted his head in response, and an old woman stood beside him.

She didn't recognize it at a glance, and carefully recalled the details before replying "You're welcome".

The old man saw that Si Wei was quite good at talking, and said, "I was going to take the bus to find my grandson, but now the money is lost, so I ......."

Si Wei saw her embarrassment, and she had no change on her, so she considered: "Where are you going, I'll accompany you." ”

"Liufang Street, my grandson is there. ”

Si Wei was stunned for a moment, but nodded anyway.

There were basically no people on the last bus, and when he got on the bus, the old man leaned on Siwei and fell asleep.

After three stops, you will arrive at Liufang Street.

Sending people to them, Si Wei had to take a taxi back by himself.

"Little girl, you wait first, my old woman can't let you help in vain, I will see my grandson in a while, I will ask him to return the money to you. The old man grabbed her and said, "My grandson's camp is in front, and he works as a firefighter." ”

The initial speculation was instantly confirmed, and Si Wei's eyelids jumped, and she wanted to say no need, but the old man had to drag her away.

I can't figure it out, she, a young man with strong body, can't stand up to an old man!

So, ten minutes later, Siwei stood at the gate of the camp.

The old man knocked on the glass of the porter, and soon the doorman on duty came out: "Who are you looking for?"

"I'm here to find your captain, Song Ju'an, I'm his grandmother. ”

What kind of earth-shattering and coincidental episode is this, Siwei's mind is completely confused, and the rest of them don't listen to anything they say.

recalled it several times, and finally remembered the fact that Song Ju'an did have a grandmother.

On the other end, Song Ju'an was called away by the doorman's phone after taking a shower, and he ran to the door in one breath, first seeing his grandmother, and then Siwei beside her.

The four eyes are facing each other, and their minds are different.

Song Ju'an looked away, his eyes were unusually calm: "Why are you here?"

"I've been feeling uneasy lately, so I want to come here to accompany you. The old man said.

Song Ju'an seemed to be very tired and pressed his eyebrows: "I often go on missions, and I can't take care of you." ”

"You don't have to worry about this, I'm looking for a house to live in the surrounding area, and you'll come back on the weekend when you have time. The old man's eyes were full of hope.

"I didn't have a weekend...", after a cold tone, he suddenly looked at Si Wei, restrained the emotions surging in his eyes, and changed his words: "You are not familiar with life here, I don't worry." The second half of the sentence is noticeably milder.

Si Wei vaguely felt the estrangement between the two grandparents, and then looked at the old man's appearance of wanting to speak and stopped, and couldn't help but interject: "Let grandma go to live with me, I can take care of her after work at night." ”

Song Ju'an's eyes changed several times, and he was indifferent and resolute: "You don't care about this matter." ”

He rarely shows this attitude, different from his usual calm and indifference, at this moment, he is more inclined to ignore and even resist family affection.

As for the reason, Swei can guess a few points.

"No matter what is arranged tomorrow, grandma will go to my place today to sleep for the night, and then talk about other things. ”

Si Wei took a step further and said in a tone that was more resolute than his.

The old man saw that they obviously knew each other, but he didn't think about it now, and echoed: "The little girl is right, I will never trouble you." ”

Song Ju'an looked at the two of them back and forth, after all, he couldn't bear to disappoint Si Wei and agreed.

Then, he drove the team's car and sent people downstairs in the community.

Before leaving, Song Ju'an lowered the car window, looked at the windshield, and said, "I'll come over again tomorrow, you guys rest early." ”

Leave a word, and the car starts and drives away.

On the way back, Si Wei sent a message to Xu Heyan, and after explaining the situation in two or three sentences, he saw Xu Heyan wandering in the living room in pajamas after entering the door.

She has always been familiar with everyone, and the same is true of the old man.

After settling his grandmother to sleep, Si Wei went to take a bath and slept in the same bed with Xu Heyan at night.

Neither of them had much energy, and fell asleep as soon as the back of their heads hit the pillow.

......

In the dream, the drunken man approached, grabbed the girl's wrist and threw it at the cabinet next to it, and then pressed it down again.

Driven by fear, she raised her foot to greet the other person's lap.

The man was kicked several times, but she never stopped, and just when she was almost desperate, there was a loud "bang", and the man's magnified face froze.

In the haze of tears, the girl stared at the eyes that suddenly widened, blood flowing from his hair, and glass shards on the ground splattered.

The man was stunned for a few seconds, and finally fell to the ground.

The girl was stunned, and after the man fell, a blurred facial feature appeared in front of her.

In the wee hours of the morning, Swei woke up from her nightmare again, she sat up slowly, breathing slowly, the lingering image in her mind becoming clearer and clearer.

She slid out of bed, raised her hand tremblingly at the foot of the bed, and covered her eyes completely until the uneasiness had subsided and the day had dawned.

The morning glow is shining, the air in the community park is fresh, and Siwei is running along the trail with headphones on.

At this point, the sky is not yet bright, and a few scattered people are exercising on the equipment.

There are seven or eight young people playing basketball in the central playground, and they are full of energy.

When she was tired of running, Si Wei sat down on a wooden chair in the park, observing the demeanor of those people, remembering their walking posture and body shape, distinguishing their voices, and analyzing their behavior and mood at the moment, which was the daily routine she was most familiar with.

"Morning!"

The man's cold voice came from behind her, and he quickly sat down beside her.

Si Wei looked at him blankly, Song Ju'an was wearing casual clothes, a black windbreaker and black pants, exuding an atmosphere of not being approachable.

"I'll see her off in the afternoon. ”

She refers to grandma.

Si Wei folded the white towel in his hand: "She has changed a lot, I'm sure you can feel it." ”

After a long silence in his ears, Song Ju'an sneered: "But I can't forget how she treated me and my mother before!"

He turned to her, and his voice was even cooler in the cold air of the early morning: "You should know this. ”

Si Wei knew what Song Ju'an's eyes were like at the moment, but he still mustered up the courage to look at him directly, "But I know better that you are not an indifferent person." ”

β€”β€”

Since he expressed his heart in the alley, Song Ju'an has been pestering Si Wei every day.

That summer vacation, Shen Shuyi went to another place, and there was no one at home, so Song Ju'an could go in and out more unscrupulously, except for a few jokes with her, there was no out-of-the-ordinary behavior.

The most excessive time, that is, forcing people into a corner, Song Ju'an followed unhurriedly.

His breath got closer and closer, until it was closer than ever, and he suddenly lowered his body, and the girl shrank significantly.

He stopped, looking at her playfully.

The look in your eyes seems to say, what indescribable things are you thinking in your head?

Si Wei was stared at and yelled at him: "Song Ju'an, you are such a bastard, don't your family care about you?"

After getting along with him for a long time, she will also scold, but the words "bastard" and "shameless" are repeated.

Before this, Si Wei also scolded him like this, and Song Ju'an always approached her with a hippie smile and said, can we change the word, really he can teach her two sentences.

But this time, Song Ju'an's eyes instantly dimmed, and there was not the slightest desire to laugh on his face, his shoulders collapsed, and he leaned on Si Wei's shoulder in dejection.

He was tall, and the strength of most of his body was pressed down, almost causing Si Wei's legs to fall to his knees.

"Get out of the way, don't be a scoundrel!" the girl pushed him with a wrinkled face.

Song Ju'an pressed her hand accurately, wrapped it in his palm and rubbed it carefully.

He said, "I just don't have anyone to take care of me, you will take care of me in the future." ”

Although the words he said were still not right, the depression in his voice would make his heart flutter when others heard it.

Because of this, Swei did not choose to push him away at that moment, but let him lean in front of him, holding her hand tightly.

When they lean together, they are like wanderers at the end of a road, and when they go through all odds and despair, they find a gentle light worthy of lingering with each other.

Later, Si Wei learned from Shen Shuyi that Song Ju'an's father owed a lot of debts in his early years in business, and he drank heavily every day and did not return, and on the day when the creditor came to collect debts and rob the house, Song Ju'an's mother was pushed down by mistake and hit the corner of the table and died.

As for his grandmother, she hid in the hut all day long, ignoring everything in the house, which indirectly caused Song Ju'an's mother to lose her life.

This became a knot in his heart for many years.

Song Ju'an took a cigarette in his mouth, took a puff gently, and the smoke slowly spit out from his mouth: "I am a firefighter, how can my heart be indifferent." But for her, in addition to my duty of respectful support, I am not the sameβ€”" He dusted off his cigarette ash and faced Swei, "I can't do it. ”

Swei hesitated, trying to untie the knot in his heart.

It's just that she can't even let go of the hatred in her heart, and what qualifications does she have to meddle in his love and hatred.

After a long time, no one spoke again, Song Ju'an looked at the group of teenagers playing ball on the playground, watching them sweat, and there was yearning in his eyes.

His hand involuntarily reached into his right knee, where there was still a dull ache.

It was as if he was constantly reminding him that in this life of destroyed foundations, the past would never be compensated, whether it was ignorant love or dazzling and wanton youth.

The afterglow caught the loneliness and regret on his face, and Si Wei's heart moved, and she stood up and came in front of him.

The sight was blocked, Song Ju'an raised his head, and saw her take another step forward, and suddenly stretched out her hand to him.

While Song Ju'an was stunned, Si Wei put his hand around the back of his head, brought his head to his abdomen, and patted his shoulder with the other hand.

She looked east, and before the first rays of light cast out of the clouds, she spoke, "All will be fine." ”

The wounds of the past will heal and the future will ...... It will also change.

Being embraced by her like this, Song Ju'an couldn't tell what mood he was in, but his heart kept rippling.

He pursed his lower lip and put his hand on her arm, temporarily shedding the hardness he had cultivated over the years.

Song Ju'an felt an unprecedented sense of satisfaction in her heart, this satisfaction was not so warm and majestic, just because she took the initiative, it was full of throbbing.

When it comes to unraveling people, Swei is very good at it, but she can't say sensational things, like now, she can't think of anything other than giving him a hug.

In fact, this is just the right amount of warmth, and the budding period of love should be like this.
