chapter4

Ren Zhen took out a small note from his pocket and held it up: "I thought that if you didn't finish your homework, I would give you this small note first." ”

Lu Cong took it and opened it, and it was still a beautiful line: "Lu Cong, I want to sing the play "Sitting in the Palace", what about you?"

He shifted his gaze from the note to Ren Zhen, and for a moment, smiled faintly.

With grandpa pressing, the rehearsal of the two of them can be said to be quite smooth, and they have already looked good in just one night.

Because Jiang He was alone, his grandfather didn't worry about him very much. He is also very sensible to give up the time and venue to Ren Zhen, he likes to watch her sing the most.

That month, because of the rehearsal and singing, Ren Zhen and Lu Cong spent far more time together than with Jiang He.

Although Jiang He occasionally had a feeling that his sister had been abducted by others, he still chose to wait silently and patiently.

Anyway, after June 1st, there is nothing they need to do together.

In fact, he also knew that he was not good like this, and he was a little selfish, but his sister was his heart, and he had long been accustomed to Ren Zhen pestering him endlessly all day long.

That is, recently, Ren Zhen's mouth suddenly mentioned the word Lu Cong more, which made him feel a little lost.

"Lu Cong, have you eaten enough?"

"Lu Cong, have you finished your homework?"

"Lu Cong, do you want to eat sugar?"

"Lu Cong, can I sing this paragraph?"

"Lu Cong..."

In short, almost all of him. Never mind... Bear with me...

On a weekend in late May, Jianghe's master celebrated his 60th birthday, and his grandfather took him to congratulate him. Leaving Ren Zhen and Lu Cong at home to continue rehearsing their show.

Halfway through, the housekeeper's grandfather came over to interrupt, saying that Lu Cong's mother was calling and asked Lu Cong to answer it.

As a result, after a phone call is answered, the person is gone.

Ren Zhen sat on the stage and waited, waited, waited for almost an hour, couldn't wait and ran back to watch, only to find that the person was gone.

asked the housekeeper's grandfather, and he said that he didn't pay attention either, so he saw that he left the phone and went out, thinking that he was going to the stage, so he didn't ask much.

Oh my God, Ren Zhen was depressed standing at the door, such a big garden, he couldn't find a place to hide it.

I don't know what his mother told him to make him sad like this.

Could it be that his mother said that she didn't want him anymore? Because it seems that the relationship between their mother and son is not close, if it weren't for the similarity, she would really think that Lu Cong was a gift from her to buy something.

"Lu Cong!!" Ren Zhen shouted all the way, his voice echoing in the empty Yuexin Garden.

But Lu Cong, a dead child, just hid with an iron heart, and didn't respond no matter how he screamed.

At the edge of the pear blossom forest, Ren Zhen ran out of strength, and sat on the grass facing the mirror-like lake and began to get angry.

"Stinky Lu Cong! What's the big deal for you to play and disappear, my parents didn't want me when I was very young! I haven't grown up so big yet!" she casually picked up a few grass beside her!

At this time, just after noon, the sky was blue like a filter, a few marshmallow-like clouds were lazily floating in the air, and the sun was bright and dazzling.

It's suddenly getting hotter these days, and it's about to pass with spring.

The pear blossoms on the trees also began to fall in large quantities.

Ren Zhen patted her ass and stood up, she was wearing a lake-blue buttoned gauze dress, standing in the sun like a bright little jewel.

She unbuttoned the button under her neck, pinched her collar and fanned it, looking left and right in her head to figure out where Lu Cong was hiding.

In the past, Jiang He played hide and seek with her, and she always thought that he was not good at hiding, but this time Lu Cong hid it well, and she felt that Jiang He's kind of play was more reliable.

Thinking about it, a gust of wind passed, the branches of the pear trees collided and made a rustling sound, and the pear petals fell a lot, and the wind rolled and flew in the direction of the lake, and then all fell into the lake, causing layers of ripples.

Ren Zhen stared at the pear blossoms that filled the lake and suddenly his eyes opened, and the person turned to the back.

She suddenly remembered that when she was practicing a few days ago, Lu Cong mentioned it, saying that he would come over to see when the pear blossoms fell, and he thought the same as Ren Zhen, thinking that the best pear blossoms in the world were blooming in Yuexin Garden.

……

The pear blossom forest is very deep, Ren Zhen has never entered, and Jiang He said before that he would accompany her in, but she didn't dare.

She stood at the entrance to the woods, craned her neck to look inside, and swallowed her throat.

Will he be in it?

Fortunately, the pear blossoms have fallen a lot, and the sunlight is spreading on the grass through the branches, and it is not so scary to look at.

Ren Zhen raised his spirit, forget it, for the sake of friendship!

She walked cautiously and cautiously everywhere, going deeper and deeper.

She only dared to shout his name over and over again in her heart, she was afraid that if she shouted it out and alarmed the monsters in it, it would be terrible.

At this moment, the appearance of the monster had become clearer and clearer in her mind, as if it would really pounce on the child at any time.

No, if you find him, you must confiscate the candy that is given to him, this broken child is too ignorant.

Ren Zhen tried to divert his attention.

After walking for a while, she felt that her two legs were really not very obedient, and she desperately wanted to run back, and the angel and demon in her heart had fought several rounds.

He's figured it out, right?

Yes.

She decided to go out and go back to the stage and continue to wait for him, he would come to her as soon as possible. Besides, he just wanted to stay alone before running away, and he would definitely be angry if he looked for him so recklessly.

That's not a send-off, it's a matter of making things worse.

So, after a powerful wave of self-comfort, she turned back and prepared to leave.

When people are extremely frightened, their hearing will soar, she is already walking lightly, and the forest is quiet, just a few steps away, there seems to be a faint cry.

Lu Cong?or crying dead ghost?

She stood still and listened carefully, and for a moment, she raised her eyes.

Ren Zhen slowly continued to walk forward in the direction from which the voice came, about 8 or 9 meters, his feet stopped, and the person was stunned.

Behind the boulder, Lu Cong's exposed shoulder was shaking slightly, and his crying became very clear.

Ren Zhen was excited, and just wanted to step forward, but he withdrew his foot again.

He didn't want her to see him cry.

So she stood quietly behind him, silently watching.

The pear blossoms wrapped the two of them like snow.

Ren Zhen sighed secretly, in fact, after getting along with each other during this time, her opinion of Lu Cong was not what it used to be.

All his emotions could not escape her eyes.

She's been lonely, so she knows what the most instinctive reaction of a lonely person is.

Self-preservation.

He is now, even if he doesn't say it.

He was a boy, and his tears were like rare treasures, which could not be easily shed. Unless, it is he who cares, more than tears.

Lu Cong sat cross-legged on the ground, wearing a smoky gray tunic-style cloth coat. A few pear blossoms fell on his shoulders, bright and beautiful.

He cried for a while, in fact, he had long been thinking about Ren Zhen on the other side of the stage, but the tears just couldn't flow cleanly, and he didn't want her to see it.

Lu Cong sighed deeply, just now the housekeeper's grandfather came over to say his mother's phone, he was very happy, thinking that his mother missed him.

However, he only asked if his mother was going to see him. waited for a while, but there was a number on the other end of the phone, saying how old he was and so ignorant, just thinking about being with his mother.

yes, how many times has this been, and he still refuses to admit the fact that his mother doesn't care about him.

This time, how could it be an exception.

……

This home is just another zero-hour custodian, just like all the previous ones.

As for how long you can stay, it all depends on the development progress of He Jiaren's company.

The stumbling block to her career has never been a strong competitor, let alone a paving bridge that is difficult to get to the sky, but her son, Lu Cong.

This is what Lu Cong has known since he was a child, because his mother can't lift her spirits as long as she sees him, and she feels like it takes a lot of effort to say something to him.

Gradually, he got used to this way of life, whether he stayed or left, the most important thing was to take care of himself, and the most important thing was not to cause trouble for the custodial family.

He has no time for other people and things, or... Too lazy to care.

Because the closer he got, the more he got to know, he didn't want outsiders to know what an unfortunate family he had, and how much he didn't love his mother.

Anger gradually overshadowed sadness, and the tears finally stopped flowing.

Lu Cong closed his eyes and wanted to calm the anger in his heart, but Ren Zhen's smiling face jumped out in front of him and asked him, "Lu Cong, do you want to eat candy?"

We are not even ordinary friends, Lu Cong said in a deep voice.

He used to keep a distance from all the host families, adults and children, so that no one would snoop into his heart, and he could always be safe.

Therefore, Ren Zhen will not be an exception.

He opened his eyes and was determined once again that he would never let his guard down on anyone.

The tears ran out, he stood up and patted the ashes, and when he turned around, his eyelashes lifted and he froze in place.

It was the natural and harmless almond eyes that were flickering at him.

Lu Cong swallowed his throat, and the top of his head tingled.

So... When did she come? What did she hear and see? She...

"Lu Cong, are you okay?" she didn't laugh obviously, but she seemed to be laughing.

The hearts of those who watched were soft for a while.

She would be no exception, he reminded himself again.

After a while, Lu Cong, who had not spoken, suddenly pulled out his feet and left, and soon left her behind.

Ren Zhen reacted, chased a few steps and grabbed his hand to show goodwill, he was frightened again, his arm was raised, and Ren Zhen sat on the ground.

Ren Zhen fell a little painfully, jumped up by himself, stood in place with his head down, rubbed the soil on his hands, and explained in a tearful whisper.

"Lu Cong... I didn't mean to... I'm just worried about you. ”

Lu Cong looked at her a little overwhelmed, and he didn't mean to, so he stepped forward, wanting to stretch out his hand but was embarrassed, so he only said vaguely: "I'm sorry." ”

He lowered his eyes, did not look at her, his eyes suddenly became disobedient and wet again, and in a moment he turned again to leave.

"Lu Cong!" Ren Zhen shouted.
