When it was almost half past one, the three of them took the bus back to school casually, Yun Luo gave up the last position to Shi Mo, he and Shan Chu stood, there were a lot of people on the bus, most of them were students who were in a hurry to go to class, Shan Chu protected Yun Luo gentlemanly, Yun Luo frowned a little uncomfortably, but he did not refuse his kindness.

Shi Mo sat alone in the position, looking at the two people who matched, even in the crowded crowd was still so conspicuous, as soon as the driver stepped on the brakes at the station, Shi Mo leaned forward by inertia, as if something had been thrown out of his heart, a little lost, but slowly filled with other things.

Shi Mo didn't talk to Yun Luo all afternoon, nor did he secretly observe Shan Chu anymore, he lay on the table alone, scribbling on the notebook at will.

Yun Luo was buried in the test paper and didn't have time to care about her, so he said hello to her after school and separated at the school gate.

Shi Mo and Shan Chu watched the tall back disappear, then got on a bus, got off in an ordinary community, and walked one after the other, without anyone speaking.

Shi Mo looked at the back of the hanging boy in front of him, a little dazed. This back, she has watched it for more than ten years, she was a neighbor when she was a child, and the two families have a good relationship, and Shi Mo will always shout Brother Chu behind Shan Chu's ass. Later, Shan Chu's mother died, his father had to work, and Shan Chu was sent to Shi Mo's house for dinner, and Shi Mo was so happy at that time! She could rely on her junior brother anytime and anywhere, and was laughed at by the teacher in the class as the golden boy and girl. But the good times didn't last long, Shi Mo began to gain weight after the third grade, she hated being said to be a little fat person, and she was locked in the room angrily without eating or drinking! No matter how her parents coaxed, it was useless, just because Shan Chu's sentence was fat and cute, and she smiled.

Later, Shi Mo's parents also had an accident, and Shi Mo was adopted by the Shan Chu family, but Shi Mo began to hate the title of Brother Chu and never called him that again.

Time flashed for many years, so long that she thought that she would always be with Shan Chu, living under the same roof, eating the same table of food, and going to and from school together.

However, the dream was about to wake up, but when she woke up from the dream, she was so resistant.

"Shan Chu!"

Shan Chu didn't hear it, he had been thinking about his father's affairs recently, and it seemed troublesome, but his father wouldn't let him interfere.

"Shan Chu!" Shi Mo mustered up the courage to shout again, almost with a roar.

"Huh?"

Shan Chu woke up from his thoughts, turned to look at Shi Mo behind him, and his face was full of questions.

There was a three-meter gap between them, and as long as they took a few steps, they could get close to each other, but they seemed to have some tacit understanding between them, they all looked at each other and didn't move.

"Do you like Yunluo?" Shi Mo looked straight into Shan Chu's eyes, very stubborn, but a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and his hands tightly tugged at the shoulder straps of his schoolbag.

Shan Chu was originally just a big boy, where would he observe so much, but he just froze for a moment, and then tilted his head and said, "Sort of." ”

I liked it a few days ago.

Shi Mo had a sour nose, rolled his eyes a few times, and then asked pretending to be joking: "If one day I want her to be as thin and beautiful as her, will you like me?"

Will you like me?

Shan Chu has never considered this kind of problem, Shi Mo is like a little brother to him, he can bully, but others can't!

The two stood silently, surrounded by the laughter of children, the old grandmother nagged that the price of vegetables had risen again, and the old man said that this plate was not a return, and there was the smell of rice wafting in the air, like the rice cooked by the mother.

The sunset imprinted on the two of them, stretching their shadows long, but no matter what, there was always a three-meter gap between them, as if they were separated by the whole world.

"I..." Shan Chu looked at Shi Mo's nervous appearance, and felt a little funny in his heart, and was about to speak, when he was hit on the back of the head.

"Shhh

Shan Chu covered his head, and just turned around to see the culprit, a big watermelon was stuffed in his arms! Shan Chu hurriedly hugged it, it was really dead!

"What are you two standing here, you are still learning from the Cowherd and Weaver Girl to look at each other affectionately! Let's go, I bought watermelons today and go home!" Shan Dalong patted the back of Shan Chu's head again after speaking.

Shan Chu glared at the back, and then called Shi Mo to follow, Shi Mo blushed at Shan Dalong's words, and followed behind with his head down, like a little daughter-in-law.

Back at home, Shan Dalong went to the kitchen to cook, Shan Chu had already forgotten what had just happened, and cut the twenty-pound big watermelon with him, and when he ate it, he said that Bai Chang was so big, it was not as good as Yunluo's family.

Shi Mo looked at the watermelon on the table, suddenly felt a little sick to his stomach, and said that he would not eat and went back to the room. This is a three-bedroom apartment of 80 square meters, the decoration is very simple, and the furniture is all wood. Because of Shi Mo's move-in, Shan Chu was kicked out of the bedroom and lived in the study for a long time.

"Stinky boy serves food!"

Shan Dalong's roar came from the kitchen, and Shan Chu pursed his lips and put down the watermelon and went in to serve the dishes. Because Shi Mo didn't eat, there was a lot of food left, Shan Chu admitted his hard work and resent the dishes and chopsticks, if those little fans in the school saw him wearing an apron and washing the dishes, they would definitely shout that I want to give you a monkey!

"Wait a minute, I'll lie down in my room!" Shan Dalong dropped a sentence at the kitchen door and went back to the house, Shan Chu brushed the dishes for a while, then continued to wash, dry, put the bowls neatly into the cupboard, took off the apron and hung it on the wall, looked at the little kitten napping on the apron, took away the sadness on his face, and looked like a hanger, kicked open the door of Shan Dalong's room, in exchange for a roar.

"You stand for me! I haven't been on a good track all day! Look at your dirty school uniform, it's a shame on me!" Shan Dalong looked at his son in front of him, a little dazed, how could he grow so tall in the blink of an eye! Obviously, he was still holding his legs to hug before.

"And no one washed me. Shan Chu complained casually, the two of them paused, and then fell silent.

Shan Dalong took out a cigarette from his trouser pocket, lit it several times before lighting it, took a deep breath, and then spit out smoke rings.

"I know you blame me, it's me who is sorry for your mother, and I'm sorry for you. ”

Shan Chu turned his head, not looking at his decadent appearance, pursed his lips, and his nose was a little sour.

There was a bed, a cabinet and an old dresser in the small room, Shan Dalong sat on the bed and smoked silently, Shan Chu stood behind the door, looking at the dresser with blank eyes. Circles of smoke swirled between them, and no one could see anyone's heart.

Shan Dalong took the last puff of cigarette, extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash. Looking at the distracted son, he sighed, walked over and took out a notebook and a bank card in the dark pavilion of the dresser.

"Ah Chu, put this away. ”

Shan Chu looked at the things in Shan Dalong's hand, and was very resistant, "What is this?

"If you take it, you will take it!Where is so much nonsense!" Shan Dalong lost his temper again, and stuffed things into Shan Chu's hand.

"Is something wrong?"

Shan Dalong looked at his stubborn son and sighed, he was already old, and it was good to tell the child, at least if something happened to him, the child could also see the situation and protect himself.
