Chapter 1 Seeing each other and not knowing each other
10 years later.
There is still half a month left before the winter vacation. Today, Friday, next week's final exams, the teacher left a lot of homework, and the students complained about it.
"Xinxin, what time are you coming to Xi tomorrow morning?"
Gu Qiu, who was at the same table, asked Su Xin while cleaning up the desk.
"I've got to do the laundry tomorrow morning, about half-past eight."
"Okay, I'll come tomorrow too, my mother asked me to bring you glutinous rice dumplings and eat them while they're hot."
"Don't bother Auntie, you can also review at home, there are many people in the classroom, and the home environment is good."
"No, I still have a question for you. Let's go, I invite you to roasted sweet potatoes. ”
Gu Qiu's eyes, mouth, and nose are not big, he has a small round face, and his facial features are well-proportioned, which is a durable appearance. When he laughs, his eyes are crooked like crescent moons, his wheat-colored skin, his short hair, his enthusiasm, and his fiery character.
Su Xin is easy-going, beautiful, and good at studying, Gu Qiu always likes to stick to her, since she was at the same table with this scholar, her learning initiative has been rising, Gu's mother is happy, and she can't wait to tie a piece of it to the two of them every day.
Su Xin lives in the town, comes to the city to go to high school, and lives in the school. Chunliu City is a small city, there are only 3 high schools in the city, one vocational high school, one ordinary high school, and Chunliu No. 1 Middle School Key High School. The school has both self-financed and publicly-funded students, bringing together the children of both wealthy and talented families in this small city.
Su Xin entered school late, was smart and willing to work hard, and jumped two levels in elementary school. With the first place in the town middle school, he easily entered Chunliu No. 1 Middle School.
The educational resources in the countryside cannot be compared with those in the city, and Su Xin's entry into the first middle school is firmly in the top ten, which is not easy for rural children. By the third year of high school, many children have begun to spend money on make-up classes. Su Xin slowly rushed forward little by little, not arrogant, not impatient, silent, and the first in the school in the three consecutive monthly exams.
Gu Qiu put his arm around Su Xin and walked towards the school gate with a smile. It was cold, and there was a circle of students around the stove where the sweet potatoes were roasted. Not far away stood a little boy with a dirty chubby face, drooling at the sweet potato stand. Su Xin looked at him stunned, his eyes were hazy, and he couldn't help but think of what happened ten years ago.
The man was at the door of the welfare home, pointing to the gate.
"Let's go in, it's a matter of eating and living."
He lifted his leg and was about to leave. The child followed him a few steps.
"I'm not a good person, don't follow me."
The man frowned and stared, his hands in his pockets, his face ruthless, and he looked up at her, impatient.
"Love doesn't enter, get out of Lao Tzu!"
The child watched him with tears in his eyes, not daring to move, and watched the man walk away. Wiping away his tears, he looked at the door in front of him and walked inside.
"It's so hot, take it quickly, Su Xin! Shin Shin! What are you doing? ”
"Huh?"
"I've called you a few times, what kind of god is it? What do you think? ”
It's been a long time since I've remembered when I was a child, and today I feel weird.
"Thank you," Su Xin smiled at Gu Qiu.
"Wait for me here."
Su Xin walked up to the little boy and squatted down. The boy's chubby little face was only wearing a sweater with rabbit fur on the collar, the white clothes could no longer see the background color, and his frozen lips were purple. This outfit doesn't look like a beggar, but like a rich boy, but it's a little dirty.
"Hungry? This one is for you to eat. '”
"Liu Zihao! You're fat! Look how I clean you up today! ”
A loud shout came from far and near, and went straight for the little boy.
The boy shrunk his neck and ducked behind Su Xin.
"You're still hiding, do you know I've been looking for you for a day! Think I can't cure you? Yes! "The man didn't care about it, and he was going to drag the boy.
The girl also looked to be 17 or 8 years old. It was cold, and she was wearing only a T-shirt and a leather coat. He has short hair, several locks of orange bleached, several studs on his left earlobe, and heavy makeup.
"Don't ...... Don't, if you have something to say, don't get excited. Who are you? Su Xin pulled Xiaohao to avoid her while talking to her.
Liu Qian didn't grab the little boy, and stood there angrily.
"What am I! Do you care? Come home with me! ”
Su Xin looked at the child and suddenly came to courage.
"Don't be afraid, tell my sister that you know her?"
The little boy looked up and shook his head. Su Xin looked at the girl and felt unsteady.
Say, "He said he didn't know you." "The meaning couldn't be more obvious, she couldn't be allowed to take him.
"Nosy, isn't it, looking for a draw!" As he spoke, he raised his hand.
"You...... What are you doing? How can you hit people casually! Gu Qiu saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly pulled Su Xin away. At this time, the phone in the girl's pocket rang, and the mobile phone sang a song with a noisy ringtone.
Gu Qiu dragged Su Xin to avoid her, they were all students, and this person looked like a gangster in society. Gu Qiu was afraid of suffering, so he pulled Su Xin's sleeve and said, "Xinxin, let's call the police." I'm going to borrow the phone. ”
Seeing that this girl was spicy, people in society, Su Xin was also scared, and nodded lightly.
The surrounding students all gathered around, and Gu Qiu quickly borrowed a phone to call the police.
A few minutes later, a small black car stopped at the school gate, and two men came out of the car one after the other.
The man got out of the car and ran a few steps to them.
"Where's Xiaohao?" The tall man looked anxious and spoke a little lightly.
Su Xin inadvertently looked at the man.
There was a "buzz" in her head, she couldn't hear anything, and the world seemed to hold down the still button in front of her. He was the only one talking.
"It's—him!" Su Xin looked at him motionlessly, and even doubted his eyes.
"It's really him!" The welfare home was in Maple Leaf City, and she always thought that he was also in that city. When I was a child, I couldn't help it, but when I grew up, I had the idea of going to my biological parents, and I would think of him, but my memory of my parents was too shallow. She had been paying attention to him all these years, but she had never met him.
Su Xin would never be mistaken, she was afraid that she would forget. Every time I think of the past, I will paint a picture of him in my heart. Deeply remember, the person who saved her on a rainy night and changed her life!
He is very tall, about 1.9 meters, with thick eyebrows, deep eye sockets, a high nose bridge, the corners of his mouth are pursed, the blue and black stubble on his chin, the Adam's apple is prominent, the lines are hard, and his eyes are not as angry as youth, and he is more mature. There is a small scar on the left forehead, and the whole body has no ruffian appearance, but it still has a cold charm.
Su Xin felt a burst of ecstasy in her heart. Everyone has a childhood that they can't get out of, Su Xin's childhood was confused, dark, fearful, fleeing, but also lucky. The fate of people and people is so strange, the man standing in front of him saved himself, and he didn't smile, but he made her feel warm inexplicably.
She wanted to tell him something, to say "thank you" to him.
