"Why?"

The girl was silent.

"What the hell is going on? Tell me about it! Zhuo Yifan grabbed Xiaoyu's arm and shook it hurriedly.

The girl was still silent and lowered her head, maybe Zhuo Yao hurt her, maybe she didn't want to mention the family affair that made her sad.

"Zhuo, stop! You're going to shake her! Ouyang stepped forward to dissuade him, and Zhuo Cai calmed down.

"Well, this is not the place to talk, let's find a teahouse and sit down and talk slowly." The four of them got into the car and went to a nearby teahouse to find a seat and sit down.

"Light rain! You say! I will definitely try my best to help you if you have any difficulties. Zhuo's tone softened a lot, and he knew that he shouldn't scare the over-frightened girl anymore.

Xiaoyu lowered her head and was silent for a long time and sobbed again: "Why, why did this happen in my family, it turns out that my father loves us so much, we love my father so much, the family is so happy, but now it is ruined." ”

"Who is 'he'?"

"Drugs, my father is addicted to drugs, the family's money has been used up, my mother is unemployed, and now the family does not look like a family for a long time." The girl stared at Zhuo Yifan, and her eyes were obviously red and swollen, showing the girl's sadness, but in addition, she could vaguely see a hint of expectation, maybe because of the young man in front of her.

"What's going on? Speak slowly! Zhuo's tone is similar to that of a big brother, which makes the girl feel a lot more at ease.

"They quarrel all day, all the time, and I can hear them screaming like crazy when I cover my ears, but just a year ago, we were living a very happy life, but now it's all gone." When the last sentence was spoken, the girl's tone suddenly eased, as if deflated, making people feel her extreme disappointment.

"I don't believe Dad is going to be like this, you know? What a delightful dad he used to be, he loved me, he loved mom, and we loved him. The person I respect the most in the world is my dad. But now, he, he's like a madman. ”

"How did that come to be?" The boy continued to ask.

"About a year and a half ago, my father's company was merged due to poor management. Dad's position and treatment also plummeted, he was a very family-minded and enterprising person, and he couldn't stand this treatment, so he resigned. Hope to be able to find a good job. Xiaoyu sobbed as she spoke.

But after looking for a long time, there is no company that wants it, saying that he should not only have these experiences and abilities at his age. At that time, Dad came back every day and was very angry, he felt that he had been abandoned, that he had not been reused, that others did not understand him well and did not give him a chance. I think he must have been in a hurry, he didn't want to do too bad work, he was such a person with a lot of self-esteem, he had to achieve what he wanted to achieve. Xiaoyu choked up even more, and could barely say any more.

"Take a sip of tea and speak slowly!" Ouyang handed Xiaoyu a cup of tea.

Xiaoyu took a sip of tea, wiped his wet red eyes, and continued after coming back to his senses: "Later, he still went out to look for work every day, but he came back obviously late, sometimes even in the early hours of the morning, and many times he was either in low spirits or drunk. My mom and I started to worry about him and tried to convince him to stay home for a while so that he could calm down. But he refused, and lost his temper, saying that it was okay for others to look down on him, and even we looked down on him, and then he rushed out of the house and did not come back for a night. ”

The three boys listened attentively, maybe it was the teenager who gave him a sense of reassurance, Xiaoyu gradually calmed down as he spoke: "In the following month, we found that he had obviously changed, he became spiritless, had no strength, his whole work and rest habits were very chaotic, his sleep was upside down, his face was also very poor, and he hid in the toilet from time to time in the middle of the night to make frightening sounds. ”

"Once, I sneaked to the door of the toilet and looked through the crack, and my father was only wearing a pair of shorts, squatting in the toilet, as if he was snorting, and the whole person was sobbing and snorting, because his back was facing outward, so I didn't know what he was doing. In those days, I was very scared, I was afraid that because of the pressure, my dad would become a monster, just like in the movies. ”

"Another time, I saw him rolling in the toilet, and then he made a terrible sound, I think you must have never heard it, like the wail of a terminally ill patient, and then it would go on for a long time, and every day it would haunt me like a plague, and every time I heard it, it felt like his life was about to stop. It's hard for me to imagine that it was a human voice. Xiaoyu's voice trembled when she spoke, as if she was telling a horror story, and the protagonist of this story was herself.

Xiaoyu continued: "The monster has not become, but Dad has also become less human, not like a ghost. I...... I really don't want to say that about him. At this point, the light rain began to sob again.

"Mom also found out that he had become too much, he lost a full circle of weight in more than a month, and the neighbors didn't recognize him anymore. Later, Mom began to ask Dad, who was reluctant to say at first, but then finally said that he was taking drugs under our repeated questioning. Xiaoyu couldn't stop crying at this time, and she kept crying for a long time.

Xiaoyu easily held back her sobs and finished the last paragraph: "Later, my mother and my father kept quarreling, and the family's money was gradually spent by my father. Originally, there was a fight once a day, and after a few days of arguing, I couldn't stand it and ran away from home once. If he still had my daughter in his heart, I think he would try to correct it, and I always thought that was the last time I met you and went on a trip with you. ”

"But I'm so naïve that it's useless." When Xiaoyu said this, her eyes looked out of the twilight window as if she was dead.

"As the situation at home got worse and worse, and now there is a lot of noise almost all the time, and I just couldn't stand it anymore and ran away." Xiaoyu mixed sobs as she spoke, at first she could clearly distinguish what she was saying, but then it sounded a little struggling, and by the end she could only hear a whimper.

And Zhuo's expression was also sad as if he was worried about his heart, he gritted his teeth, and he could hear the sound of "cluck, cluck", and his angry eyes opened as if he was going to kill someone.

Zhuo suddenly stood up and said, "Let's go, go home with me!" Zhuo Yong's voice was quite low, Li Xin could clearly feel his anger, he had never seen his friend so angry, and he couldn't even imagine that this was the Zhuo who was usually arrogant and arrogant, as if he didn't have any thoughts.

No one dared to slack off, immediately got up and hurried out of the teahouse, Zhuo called a taxi again, closed the door fiercely, and told the driver the address in a command-like tone, the driver seemed to be taken aback, and immediately stepped on the accelerator obediently, and drove to the destination as if flying.

It was raining heavily on the road again, and it was already early in the morning, and there were few pedestrians on the road, and the sound of raindrops hitting the body of the car and the glass could be clearly heard.

"Crackle! Smack! "It's like a whip on a car.

I don't know how other people feel, Li Xin feels very uncomfortable, as if the raindrops the size of beans are pumping themselves, although he can be regarded as an outsider in the whole thing, but Zhuo's simple actions without thinking, Xiaoyu's encounter, the excitement when he found Xiaoyu, and Zhuo's anger in the end, are almost a dream for Li Xin, who is used to living an ordinary and even boring life.

At this time, he was also deeply impressed by the young man beside him, recalling that he was so depressed, jealous of them, and even secretly slandered him just because he doubted the relationship between him and Xiaoxue, he felt that he was too despicable, despicably only wanted to slap himself twice, despicably just wanted to find a hole to get into.

Although it was a rainy day, because it was early in the morning, there were few vehicles and pedestrians on the road, and the car drove very fast, and it didn't take long to arrive at Zhuo's home.

The knock on the door broke the silence of Zhuo's house, and everyone welcomed Zhuo's return like a hero, and Zhuo was also very surprised that none of the basketball teammates went home, quietly waiting for his return, and suddenly couldn't hold on, so he shed tears.

"Okay, it's good to be back, good son, tell us what happened!" Zhuo Qun crossed the road.

Zhuo told everyone what had happened, and everyone present was shocked by the incident, and at the same time expressed sympathy for Lin Lingyu's experience.

"Dad, you are well-informed, can you see how we can help Xiaoyu?" Zhuo, who is always in the limelight outside, first thinks of asking his father's opinion at home.

"This child is really pitiful, it is better to stay in our house first, you should inform her mother first, don't let her worry too much. Let me think about the rest, and I'll fix this as soon as possible. Zhuo Qunyue said as he stroked Xiaoyu's head like soothing his own child. Li Xin is not the only one who envy Zhuo's family, and Xiaoyu's face, which has been gloomy for a long time, finally bloomed with a smile like a sunny day after the rain. She could feel that the young man's such enthusiastic and righteous actions were inseparable from such a family environment, not only children like Xiaoyu and Li Xin who grew up in a broken family would envy Zhuo's family, but children from other ordinary families would also envy such a family with a wise father and a virtuous mother.

"Thank you so much Dad, I'm going to call." Zhuo Xing rushed to pick up the phone and dialed Xiaoyu's number.
