Roshi took the elevator up to the eleventh floor, checked the address in his hand, and rang the doorbell after confirming that it was correct.

The doorbell rang for a long time and no one came to open it, so she had to slap the door panel hard, "Lin Zheng, Lin Zheng, are you at home?" ”

The sound of banging on the door alarmed the neighbors, and the old lady opened the door and asked with concern, "Girl, is the person you are looking for not at home?"

"I'm sorry. Rohi knew that she was disturbing the people, and was just about to turn to leave, when the door behind her suddenly clicked open to her, and she saw the big boy with a bare upper body standing in the doorway, his hair fluffy like straw, and he glanced at her lazily, "Come in." ”

She smiled apologetically at the old lady and hurriedly closed the door.

"Why did you open the door without getting dressed?"

"You don't answer the phone, you don't go to school, what are you doing?"

He didn't answer, just gave her a slouched back, and went back to the bedroom to pour back into the soft quilt.

Roshi glanced around the apartment, the area was not very large, but it was well decorated, but the room was in a mess, the floor of the living room was full of game CDs, as well as the bucket of instant noodles that he had eaten, the clothes he took off, and the socks.

"Lin Zheng, are you here in a pig's nest?" she put down the bag in her hand and naturally walked over to clean it up, "Do you always eat instant noodles, I don't know if there are preservatives in this thing?"

She was babbling alone, unaware of when someone was standing behind her, and when she got up, she hit his shoulder, and he stood motionless, and needed to lower his head to meet hers.

Her hair was loose today, hanging softly over her shoulders, and her face was only the size of a palm, and her eyes were extraordinarily large and clear.

He looked at her like this for a while, until she pushed him aside and threw the dirty laundry in her hand into the washing machine, "Have you eaten? ”

She walked to the kitchen, he followed behind, she entered the kitchen, he suddenly blocked her between the door and his body, the sudden sense of oppression made Luo Xi slightly stunned, the breath on his body was different from Lu Sheng and Lin Ziheng, with some childish boyishness, his body was not so strong, and he could even see clear bones under his bare skin.

"Lin Zheng ......" she frowned, very resistant to the too ambiguous posture at this time, "Don't let me hurt you." ”

He didn't seem to hear, still using his physical advantage to hold her firmly, his rapid breathing permeating her head.

She sighed, "Why don't you go to school for what?"

After a while, he slowly replied, "I don't want to go to school anymore." ”

"Why?"

"There's no reason I just don't want to go to school. ”

"So you're here to give up on yourself and live like a pig? ”

He looked at her with a clear eye, "Are you worried about me?"

"Not only me, but also ......"

"Don't say it. He suddenly leaned over and hugged her, muttering, "As long as you worry about me, it's enough." ”

"Lin Zheng. ”

He had let go of his hand, and the corners of his mouth resurfaced with a cynical smile, as if the hug just now was just a joke, "My brother asked you to come to me, right?"

"Your brother?" Luo Xi didn't understand what he meant, what did this have to do with Lin Ziheng.

"My brother said he couldn't move me, so he moved you out to be a rescuer, but, it's useless, I won't go to school anymore. He sat down on the living room carpet, picked up the gamepad on the floor, and turned on the TV.

"Then you tell me why you don't want to go to school. Roshi sat on the couch to the side, watching him concentrate on the fight.

"There is no reason. ”

Why are the men I met today like this, one said to her "no good", and the other said to her "no reason".

"If you don't want to say forget it, I won't care about your affairs in the future. She picked up her handbag on the couch and got up to leave.

"Roshi. Lin Zheng suddenly stopped her from behind him, his dark eyes mixed with unknown emotions, "I'm going to be a soldier, and when I become stronger, I'll go to you." ”

Roshi turned his head, he no longer looked at her, and stared at the computer screen as if he was concentrating on the game, and the words just now were blowing in his ears like the wind.

On an autumn day, twilight comes early.

Out of the apartment, the sky in the distance was already covered with a dark gray, a jeep parked in front of the apartment, a familiar license plate, a familiar person.

Roshi got into the car, looking a little indifferent, no one likes this kind of life of being watched all the time, as if her every move cannot escape the eyes of others.

The driver started the car slowly, and she sat in the back and looked out the window.

I don't know how long it took for her to ask, "What's your name?"

"Wang Liang. He paused and added, "My partner's name is Li Rui, and you've seen it before." ”

"You're soldiers?"

Wang Liang replied, "We used to be special forces, and now we are retired. ”

The car drove to the Yuqiao Courtyard in the twilight, and at the same time came back with Aunt Zhang's car that picked up the sugar core.

"Mom. Sugarcore didn't expect to see Roshi on Monday, so he got out of the car and went straight to her.

Roshi leaned over and picked up his daughter, "Good." ”

"Mom, is this a surprise for me?" she asked, fiddling with Roshi's collar and grinning.

"Are you surprised?"

"Surprise, big surprise. ”

She kissed her daughter's face.

"Mom sleeps with Sugarcore tonight, okay?"

"Good. ”

Lu Sheng didn't come back for dinner, he was still in the army, and Luo Xi naturally wouldn't really make bamboo shoot soup for him.

Sleeping with her daughter at night, the child asked to tell a story, she took Lu Sheng's previous storybook and flipped through it, the book was old, I don't know how many times the road was turned over, many places in it were annotated with a pen, and for some places he didn't understand, he wrote the explanation in small characters with a red pen, turning page by page, and his handwriting could be seen everywhere.

Roshi can imagine how seriously he read the book, just to tell his daughter a better story, just like the "Rose Essence" that night, even she could listen to it.

"Mommy......" Candy Core gently tugged on Roshi's arm.

Luo Xi smiled and lowered her head, not noticing the moist water stains in the corners of her eyes, she turned the first page, and her crisp and sweet voice glided gracefully in the night, "Let's tell the story of "Shadow" today. ”

Early in the morning, Luo Xi made breakfast for Sugar Core, and then sent her to kindergarten instead of Aunt Zhang, and was given a school holiday, so she had enough time to accompany her daughter and draw comics.

It had been a few days since Lu Sheng came back, during this period, they did not have any correspondence, she lived in his house, but as if he did not exist, it was just a quarrel when they met.

In the middle of the night, she had already slept, perhaps because the air conditioning in the house was too hot, and she woke up thirsty in her dream.

When she went downstairs to pour water, she suddenly heard the horn of a car outside, she put down her glass and walked over, and a taxi was faintly visible at the gate through the glass door.

Roshi put on his shoes and hurried out of the city.

When the driver saw someone coming out, he said "thank God".

Luo Xi tightened his clothes and looked at the back seat in the cold wind in the middle of the night, Lu Sheng was sleeping there with his head tilted, the dim light covering his angular face, a little less sharp, more tired.
