Previous: Parallel Worlds Chapter 2 Mandate of Heaven
September is the end of summer in Changhai City, and the cool evening breeze rustles through the treetops.
Shangcheng Experimental High School is located in the most prosperous street in Shangcheng District, Changhai City, the north of the campus is lined with high-rise buildings, bustling crowds and vehicles coming and going, looking up from the gate of the campus, bright lights, tall buildings make this the most magnificent area of Changhai City.
The south side of the campus is a different story, with an alley leading to the south of the school, the old town of Changhai City.
There is no traffic here, there are no bright lights, only some old people and children walking in the alleys.
There is no noisy siren, no loud horns in the store, only the rustling of leaves and cicadas.
In the alley, there was a pair of men and women, both with jealous looks, so that passers-by unconsciously looked at this handsome man and beautiful woman, and the boy just lowered his head and walked forward silently.
"Won't you take the initiative to talk to me, I'm racking my brains to find a topic to talk to you today. Fang Han suddenly stood in place, pouting and looking at Lin Heng.
"I ......" Lin Heng didn't know what to say, and he didn't know how to reply.
"I'm not a big tiger, I'll eat you if you talk, we're all friends, we should take the initiative to chat with friends. Fang Han said, putting on a big tiger expression.
"I've never spoken to anyone before, eh, let's hurry up, I'll probably be scolded if it's too late. Saying that, Lin Heng quickened his pace, only to see his face turn red again because of shyness.
"Do you live with your uncle, and what about your parents, have they also gone abroad to work?" Fang Han chased after him.
At this time, Lin Heng suddenly stopped, he suddenly raised his head and looked at the sky.
"My parents died in a car accident a long time ago, and my uncle was the only one who was my only relative. There was no trace of emotion in Lin Heng's eyes.
"I'm sorry, I ......" Fang Han didn't expect it at all, she looked at the big boy in front of her, and her eyes suddenly burst into tears.
"It's okay, it's all over, and I haven't complained about anything. Lin Heng suddenly smiled and turned around to take Fang Han's hand.
"Let's go, I'll take you home!"
Fang Han didn't say anything, she felt that she was in love with Lin Heng, in love with everything about him, even if Lin Heng didn't like herself, she wanted to be good to Lin Heng, she wanted to be by Lin Heng's side all the time.
The old city at night has a different charm, like a longing countryside in the Japanese comics, quiet and long......
This may be the feeling that Fang Han wants, it doesn't matter what it is, maybe it is destiny.
"I'm home, if you have time to come and play with me at any time, you can go back today. Fang Han pointed to a small three-story building.
"Well, it's close, and there's a fruit stand at the intersection, and I stay at the fruit stand at night. Lin Heng nodded motionally.
When Fang Han walked into the house, she immediately rushed to the balcony on the second floor, and she looked at Lin Heng's distant figure.
It turns out that liking someone really cares about his bits and pieces.
Today is the happiest day since Lin Heng was born, and he happily met Fang Han, a lively little girl.
Back at the fruit stall, his aunt was already standing outside waiting for him, only to see her pinching her waist and waiting for Lin Heng with a hideous face.
"What are you rubbing, you came back so late today, you waste of eating idle food, the two of us raised you for nothing. ”
Lin Heng walked into the house without raising his head, put down his backpack, and sat at the counter with a blank look.
"Did you hear me talking to you, don't come back next time you come back so late, let me wait so long with your uncle. ”
"There's still leftovers for you to eat, we're going home, don't make a mistake with me here, sell them all." With that, the vicious woman left Lin Heng alone in the store.
Lin Heng had already become accustomed to this kind of life, if it weren't for the nine-year compulsory education, maybe he would have become a tool for his uncle and aunt to earn money.
Just eating leftovers from the store every day, Lin Heng's body was already thin, and there was no other way out except to study him, fortunately, his parents left him an extraordinary talent.
It's too late to eat a bite of food, let alone do your homework, the store is bustling with people every night, and Lin Heng is the only one busy in the store.
On the September night, the weather had become cooler, but Lin Heng's forehead was full of sweat.
"You don't look that introverted when you're working. "A girl walked into the store.
After changing out of her school uniform, she showed a perfect figure, and her sweet appearance made passers-by look at the store twice.
"I've been working for so long, I'm used to it. ”
Fang Han looked around, "What about your uncle?"
"They went home and every day I stayed in the store"
"You're the only one busy" Fang Han felt incredible, how the boy in front of him had survived so many years.
"Accustomed to ......"
A sentence is used to it, but it is more helpless.
Fang Han looked at Lin Heng, he couldn't bear to let him suffer anymore.
"Let's go together, you teach me how to cashier. Two people do more with less. Fang Han wiped the beads of sweat on Lin Heng's head with a handkerchief.
"It's not ......"
"Don't talk nonsense, I volunteered, if I don't want you to beg me, I won't do it!"
Fang Han knew that Lin Heng was going to refuse himself again, so he hurriedly covered Lin Heng's mouth with his hand.
"Okay, I'll teach you, when you're tired, you go back to rest, don't brace yourself. ”
"It's hard, I'm not stupid. Fang Han glanced at Lin Heng, but he was smiling in his heart.
The operation of the two people did make Lin Heng a lot easier, although he was tired, but having each other's care made him feel at ease.
"Everyone finally dispersed, and I was exhausted. ”
"yes, you really don't look like a girl, so capable. As he spoke, Lin Heng lifted a watermelon from his hand.
"There's nothing to treat you, please eat watermelon. ”
"Forget it, tomorrow your aunt will scold you again when she finds out that there is one less watermelon. ”
Fang Han put the watermelon back in Lin Heng's hand, and the two sat quietly.
Grunt~~~
A scream came from Lin Heng's stomach, the big boy smiled awkwardly, and he lowered his head shyly again.
"You haven't eaten yet, I'm a little busy and hungry, let me see what you eat. With that, Fang Han ran to the kitchen.
"You just eat this, they only leave these leftovers for you to eat every day?" Fang Han pointed to the dishes sitting on the table, only a bowl of cabbage stewed potatoes with little leftover and a white steamed bun that had already been hardened.
Fang Han's face suddenly became serious, "They treat you like this, you will go to my house to eat at night in the future, and you are not allowed to refuse me to hear." ”
Lin Heng felt the firmness of Fang Han's words, he didn't say anything, just nodded silently, he regarded Fang Han as his best friend, even a relative.
"I'm hungry too, I know a noodle restaurant at this point, it's not far from here, I'll invite you to eat. As he spoke, he took Lin Heng's hand.
The north side of the city is lit with neon, and it may be the dream of every child living in the old town.
Some people are born with a golden key, but some people are like Lin Heng, maybe they have a good life in their dreams.
But it is precisely because of God's injustice that more people have the fighting spirit and the goal of struggle.
Closing the door of the store, Lin Heng and Fang Han walked in the alley at night. There are no LED lights, only faint street lights.
There are very few pedestrians on the roadside, and the adults are probably at home, nestled on the couch watching TV, and the children holding their phones in their rooms, smirking sweetly at the screen.
