"You still wear slippers when you play?" Yi Xuejia, who was wearing sneakers, stood on the side of the court, looking at the torn flip-flops on Liang Feng's feet with disgust.

Liang Feng scratched his head and smiled, and said honestly: "Just that pair of good sneakers, I want to save them." ”

"Your birthday is at the end of December, right?" Yi Xuejia pondered while exercising his muscles, "We'll scrape together the money to buy you a new pair of sneakers when the time comes." ”

"Not good." Liang Feng turned his waist from side to side and turned his arms, "I can't afford it yet." ”

"Cut, who told you to pay it back." Yi Xuejia raised his leg and kicked his ass with his knee.

Liang Feng walked towards the court and shouted at a few college students who were playing ball: "Do you want to play a game?" ”

Yi Xuejia and Liang Feng didn't go too far, they played basketball on the residential court on the edge of the community, saying that it was a court but it was not, in addition to two basketball hoops, there were billiard tables on both sides of the court, old iron fitness equipment, and people playing badminton next to them, more like a comprehensive activity square.

Those college students were not professional players in the first place, they divided one of their own people to team up with Liang Feng, and played a three-on-three, although Yi Xuejia was messing around from beginning to end, but she had good motor nerves, listened to Liang Feng's command, passed every ball to him, and was stunned to rely on a professional player wearing flip-flops to beat the other party to the ground.

"It's not going to work, it's not going to work." One of the bespectacled college students begged for mercy, "I can't fight anymore, you're too good, brother, can you leave a contact information?" ”

"Yes, next time we'll play against the University of Technology." Another college student smiled while wiping the sweat from his face, "You're our secret weapon." ”

"Going to your school? Please cafeteria? Liang Feng pulled up the hem of his clothes to wipe his sweat, revealing eight strong abdominal muscles.

"The cafeteria, that's fine." Big Brother Glasses pointed at Yi Xuejia, "It's enough." Come with your little brother. ”

Yi Xuejia frowned, feeling that something was wrong, and said, "Hey, I'm not his little brother." ”

Big Brother Glasses pushed his glasses, squinted his eyes to look at them, and laughed heartily, "I'm sorry, my hair is so short, and I'm not short, and I don't recognize it as a girl." He said to Liang Feng again, "Bring your girlfriend with me, and invite you to eat at the small window on the second floor." ”

Yi Xuejia wanted to continue to refute, but when he saw that Liang Feng happily said "deal", he shook hands with the other party amicably, so he gave up, thinking in his heart that since he was a fake girlfriend today, he would be considered a girlfriend if he rounded it off, and there was no need to explain to strangers.

The two sides chatted speculatively, the college students had already begun to represent their schools to attract Liang Feng to apply for their business school, Liang Feng was about to be invited to visit their school, Yi Xuejia noticed that Zhou Linuo passed by from a distance, she looked in a bad mood, Yuchen followed, so she immediately rushed over.

"Nono, what's wrong?" Yi Xuejia stopped in front of Zhou Linuo, who was rushing forward.

The moment Zhou Linuo, who was originally irritable, looked up and saw Yi Xuejia, the boiling anger in her body immediately turned into distilled water, and she hugged her aggrievedly, "Mom, she's crazy." ”

After sending Xu Chunping away, Zhou Linuo and Yuchen went upstairs to find that Zhou Shuguang was the only one at home, and Zhou Shuguang was obviously taken aback when he opened the door and saw them.

"I saw Mr. Xu downstairs just now." Zhou Linuo raised the plastic bag with the medicine box in his hand, "Why didn't I know he was coming today?" I didn't know you were sick. ”

"yes, I'm just sick." Zhou Shuguang was only wearing a light nightdress, she snatched the plastic bag in Zhou Linuo's hand, threw it on the coffee table, and then fell down on the sofa and asked lazily, "Why didn't you go out on a date?" I warned you that you can't talk about a boyfriend until after the college entrance examination, right? ”

"We're not dating, Jiajia is with us, but she didn't come up." As Zhou Linuo spoke, she picked up an air-conditioning blanket and covered Zhou Shuguang's body, although she did not go away, most of her chest was exposed, and her sternum was clearly visible.

Zhou Shuguang threw off the thin blanket, pointed at Zhou Linuo with his finger lightly, and said: "Even if you want to talk, don't go to bed, Yuchen's family background is okay in our broken countryside, but it's not worthy of you, don't forget that you are a phoenix." She spoke to her daughter, but she squinted her eyes and squinted at Yuchen, as if to warn, "The person who can sleep with you hasn't appeared yet." ”

Zhou Linuo was not provoked, she had long been accustomed to Zhou Shuguang's speaking style, and she fought back lightly: "So Xu Chunping is more worthy of you than his father?" ”

Zhou Shuguang immediately raised his eyebrows and shouted angrily: "What did you say? ”

She bounced up from the sofa, her shoulder muscles reflexively moved with her arms, it seemed that she wanted to move but still didn't move, and in sixteen years, she hadn't hit Zhou Linuo once.

Compared with cultural knowledge, Zhou Shuguang is more concerned about Zhou Linuo's appearance, she believes that "beauty is enough to change fate", "if fate is not released all the way to the green light, it must be because you are not beautiful enough", so the rough work at home, Zhou Linuo never needs to participate, only when she is not dignified enough because she is relaxed for a while, it will provoke her mother's anger and blame, the means of punishment is generally to face the wall and punish the station, her fine skin and tender meat, Zhou Shuguang will never allow it to be damaged.

"Mom, Mr. Xu's strength is Chinese painting, he has nothing to teach me, if you want me to be admitted to the Academy of Fine Arts, you can let me and Yi Xuejia go to the studio where she is taking classes to learn sketching." Zhou Linuo didn't want to quarrel with Zhou Shuguang in front of Yuchen, an outsider, and reasoned in a soft tone as much as possible, "Teacher Xu is a good person, but he is also a man, when my father is away, he goes in and out of our house and shows it to some idlers, which is very inappropriate." ”

"What do you mean by that? You think I have a leg with him? Zhou Shuguang pointed at the tip of Zhou Linuo's nose and refuted loudly, "I'll tell you Zhou Linuo, what others want to say about me, how they look at me, and treat me as anyone!" I won't let you look at me like that! You were born to me, I am your mother! Do you know how much I sacrificed for you? You teach me to outsiders? What do you know? Isn't everything I do for you? Are you clean, and you think I'm not clean? Disgusted with me? Look down on your mother? I'm your mother! I gave you everything! ”

Zhou Linuo lowered her head, clenched her fists tightly, and she whispered, "I didn't mean that......"

Zhou Shuguang stared at her, biting her lip, as if she was enduring and began to tremble, and then suddenly turned around and walked to the dining table, lifted an upside-down cover on the table high and threw it on the ground, because it was plastic, there was no sound, she didn't understand her hatred, and picked up a bowl containing last night's leftovers and smashed it on the ground viciously.

Yuchen, who only heard the noisy sound and didn't see the scene of the dispute in the past, this was the first time he felt Zhou Shuguang's irritable temperament in person, his eyes widened in shock, as a junior facing such a vexatious elder, he had no experience to deal with it personally, so he was stunned and a little at a loss.

However, Zhou Linuo was accustomed to all this, she took a dustpan and a broom, squatted down to pick up the broken porcelain pieces into the dustpan one by one, she said coldly: "Mom, I remember that this bowl was bought in the supermarket, three yuan, right?" In the future, will we go to the vegetable market to buy a dollar each? You can fall two more times. ”

Zhou Shuguang, who was sitting on the chair next to the table, snorted coldly, grabbed a pair of chopsticks, and threw them far away.

Because the chopsticks were thrown at his feet, Yuchen finally knew what to do to react, he picked them up, walked to Zhou Linuo, and squatted down to help, "I'll come." ”

In order to avoid his outstretched hand, Zhou Linuo was in a hurry to clean up the rest of the garbage, and his finger was scratched by a sharp porcelain piece, and a blood bead with the size of a needle came out of the stomach of his index finger.

She just gasped in a very weak voice, which was also captured by Zhou Shuguang, she was still sitting upright with a cold face just now, and at this moment she suddenly pounced in a panic.

"You're crazy! Who let you touch these things? So dangerous! What should I do if this hand, this skin, has a scar? Zhou Shuguang held Zhou Linuo's fingers in both hands, and was so anxious that he yelled at Yuchen, "Quick! Quick, Yunnan Baiyao and Band-Aid-" After saying that, she sucked off the blood bead with her mouth without hesitation.

Yuchen followed her instructions and found a medical kit from the glove cabinet under the TV and sent it over.

Moved by Zhou Shuguang's eager concern, Zhou Linuo felt a little ashamed of his sour and sarcastic tone just now, so he softly comforted her and said, "Mom, it's nothing, don't be nervous." ”

Zhou Shuguang's tone was more reproachful and annoyed than distressed, she glared at Zhou Linuo seriously and said, "It's not easy to raise you so big, I forgot all the things I taught you?" Take care of yourself. You are going to be on the big screen in the future, and you can't have any flaws on your body that can be exposed, and now those viewers are so picky that they can even talk about a pimple on your face for a long time. ”

Although she always knew that her mother only cherished her own skin, Zhou Linuo occasionally mistakenly thought that she still had a slight maternal love for herself, but at this time, she regained her indifference and nodded lightly and said, "I'm sorry." ”

After Zhou Shuguang wrapped a band-aid on his finger, which was no longer wounded, he stood up satisfied, and instructed Yuchen to say as a matter of course: "You sweep this place." ”

Needless to say, Yuchen couldn't stand the proud Zhou Linuo's Cinderella look, he wordlessly sorted out the wreckage, and patted the back of Zhou Linuo's hand as if comforting when he squatted down.

His simple action inadvertently opened the floodgates of Zhou Linuo's inner torrent, as if there were outsiders, and she had the courage to break the jar and break the can, and release the grievances she had encountered in this family - the ugliness of the family was publicized, like tearing the scab of an old scar - "But I don't want to be a star." ”

"What did you say?" Zhou Shuguang turned around, with a surprised face, and felt like he saw the refrigerator at home and spoke, "You don't want to?" ”

"Don't you think your idea is ridiculous?" Zhou Linuo stood up and confronted Zhou Shuguang, who was only two centimeters shorter than her, "Why do you think I can?" When you are a star, can you be a star with a mouth and a mouth? Do you know how to take each step? Do you know what the art exam is about? Mom, you're almost forty years old, and I'm sixteen years old, so I can't write 'I want to be a scientist when I grow up' in my essay, can you be realistic? Like an adult! Like a normal mom? ”

"Normal?" Zhou Shuguang was stunned for a moment, and then laughed gloomily, "Normal is vulgar, an ordinary person, a passerby in the crowd, a pebble on the side of the road, do you think you are happy to be a normal person?" Am I normal? I'm just too normal, I'm nothing. ”

Zhou Linuo didn't want to continue arguing with her anymore, "Since you're not sick, let's go and continue the 'date'." After speaking, he glanced at Yuchen and motioned for him to leave with him.

"Zhou Linuo-" Zhou Shuguang stopped in front of her, grabbed her arm fiercely with both hands, and his fingertips sank into the flesh, "Even if you hate me now, you will understand one day, everything I do is for your good." ”

After learning that Zhou Shuguang did not care about his wishes, as early as three days ago, he insisted on signing up for her art examination comprehensive training school, Zhou Linuo rushed out of the house.

She hugged Yi Xuejia tightly, her chin rested on her shoulder, and her voice was like a tired bird, "Mom wants me to suspend my studies for a year, and then go to the acting department of the film academy." ”
