The night is deep, and when the clock rings twelve at midnight, a new day dawns.

In a quiet park for nearby residents, Li Zheng and a young man of about 25 or 6 years old sat on the ground, with two bottles of soju, a plate of cakes and a few simple side dishes.

The midnight bells echo in the park, coming from afar, and seem to be rejoicing at the arrival of a new day.

"I didn't expect that after so long, this wall clock is still running...... Brother Zhengxiu, I remember the first time we came here when we were children, this wall clock has always been here, in the blink of an eye, it's already 09 years......" Li Zheng glanced at a wall clock on a building not far from the park through the light of the street lamp, and couldn't help but sigh.

"yes! I didn't expect it to take so long in the blink of an eye. ”

The young man, that is, Shen Zhengxiu, picked up the wine bottle and raised his head to take a sip, suddenly looked down at Li Zheng, and said with a smile: "Xiao Zheng, do you know? When I first saw you at school when I was a child, what was my first thought?"

Li Zheng smiled and asked, "What is it?"

Shen Zhengxiu laughed and said, "I thought at the time, I must find time to take this kid to the alley and beat him severely!"

"Ugh!"

Li Zheng was slightly stunned, and then laughed: "Brother Zhengxiu, I really can't imagine it if you don't say it, I didn't expect that I was so hated when I was a child, and I wanted to beat me up when you saw me for the first time." ”

Shen Zhengxiu also glanced at Li Zheng, shook his head and smiled: "You don't know, at that time, you were so cleanly dressed, your skin was white and pure, not to mention handsome, you had a cold face, and you pretended to be cool all day long, so many girls in the school revolved around you every day, and even the teachers at the school praised you and praised you everywhere, it was not just me at that time, there were not one or two boys in the school who wanted to beat you." ”

"I mean, when I first entered high school, there were so many people who came to trouble me......"

Li Zheng laughed loudly, picked up the wine bottle and touched it with Shen Zhengxiu, and asked with a smile: "Since Brother Zhengxiu hated me so much at that time, why did the senior of the school who was outside the school ask me for trouble once, and Brother Zhengxiu wanted to help me out of the siege after encountering it?"

Shen Zhengxiu slapped Li Zheng and laughed loudly: "Do you think I don't want to beat you? If it weren't for the fact that I later learned that you are an orphan like me, and you fight very well, and it is the other party who suffers every time you fight, do you think I will be so kind?"

"Huh?"

"I thought at the time, this kid is as pitiful as me, the same kind of person as me, even if I hate him, I can't help others bully the same kind of people. ”

Shen Zhengxiu shook his head and smiled: "And I know that even if you start a fight with the other party, it will not be you who will suffer, plus there was a group of girls outside the alley at that time, one of them is a girl I have always liked, of course I can't let you show off in front of her, if she is also like those female students, seeing that you won a fight, she will start to revolve around you, and compare with you, I will not have a chance at all." ”

"Uh, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect ......."

Li Zheng shook his head and laughed loudly: "I thought that Brother Zhengxiu was different from others, but I also had so many twists and turns in my heart? ”

"Xiao Zheng, although I didn't really want to help you that time, I am really grateful to have that opportunity. ”

Shen Zhengxiu suddenly sat up straight, looked at Li Zheng with a solemn expression, and said, "If it wasn't for that opportunity, I wouldn't have been able to make you a friend." If I hadn't had that chance, I might have died in high school. If I hadn't had that opportunity, I wouldn't be where I am now......"

"Brother Zhengxiu ......"

"Xiao Zheng, don't speak, listen to me. ”

Shen Zhengxiu looked at Li Zheng, shook his head, was silent for a moment, he raised his head slightly, looked at the night sky, and his voice sounded low, as if floating from the depths of his throat: "Xiao Zheng, do you know? Since the moment I have a memory, I have been staying in the orphanage, and I don't have any image of my parents in my mind. I was raised by my uncles and aunts in the orphanage, and when I was a child, my uncles and aunts were my father and mother.

This thought has been going on for a long time.

At that time, in the orphanage, there was an aunt who was very good to me, and I always regarded her as my mother, and vowed in my heart that when I grew up, I would be filial to her like a filial mother, and I would be filial to her, provide for her in old age, and send her to the end.

Until one day, the aunt of the orphanage came to the orphanage with her child.

Speaking of which, in fact, I now forget what it was, somehow I got into a fight with the aunt's child, and then the aunt's child fell to the ground, and the forehead was knocked on the stone and bled a lot, at that time I was very scared, and ran to the aunt's side to apologize to her, but the aunt ignored me at all, and ran to the health center with her child in her arms......

I followed my aunt all the way, watching my aunt worry and anxiety about her child, and I felt envy, guilt, and regret in my heart.

While waiting in the health center, I sat alone on the ground, secretly looking at my aunt, and every time I saw my aunt's hateful gaze when she looked at me, I was very scared and regretful.

I know that my aunt is heartbroken for her child, and is angry that I am fighting with her child.

I was scared, sad, guilty, and regretful, and I didn't dare to leave, so I sat not far from my aunt and waited quietly.

I forgot how much time had passed, and it wasn't until my aunt's child came out of the operating room and saw that he was safe and sound, that I breathed a sigh of relief, but ...... Hehe...... Hehehe...... , However, when the aunt heard the doctor say to her that her child was going to break the phase, Xiao Zheng, do you know what the aunt said to me?—— you let my son break the face, and you can't get better!!"

"You made my son ruined, and you can't get better!" Shen Zhengxiu muttered and repeated, his cheeks were already full of tears at some point.

He muttered in a low voice, reaching out to touch the narrow scar on his right eyebrow bone, his voice full of tremors and fear: "And then ...... And then...... The aunt grabbed a scalpel from the medical tray on the side and stabbed it...... The knife slashed my right eyebrow bone......"

Shen Zhengxiu touched the scar, turned his head to look at Li Zheng, smiled sadly, and then wiped away his tears fiercely: "From that day on, I knew that in this world, I was just an orphan who was abandoned and no one wanted, without parents or relatives, and no one would really care about me and love me." Even if I suddenly disappear one day, no one will shed a tear for me. ”

Looking at Shen Zhengxiu's tearful appearance, Li Zheng was silent for a while. He picked up the wine bottle and touched it with Shen Zhengxiu, without saying or comforting, he knew that sometimes, those comforting words often made the other party even more sad.
