"Looking through our photos, missing looming, last winter, we smiled very sweetly......" Xu Xuanyue sang along to the music on the sofa, Ke Yuhan saw her body swaying involuntarily, thinking about whether to hum a few words too, after thinking about it, forget it, he didn't have all the five tones, he didn't want to lose face.

Xu Xuanyue remembered that when she was a child, she brought him breakfast for a week in order to exchange a poster of Jay with her classmates. When I got my hand, it was actually a second-hand, and I cried loudly, startling the boy and comforting myself. Although she was very angry, when she saw Dong Chou wearing headphones and her cool appearance, she completely left those negative emotions behind. Some people say that when you were a child, boys liked to bully you if they liked you, thinking of this, Xu Xuanyue unconsciously smiled sweetly, like a piece of sugar in her mouth, and all she had in her mouth were childhood memories.

"Song...... It's pretty good. Ke Yuhan said approvingly.

"Of course." Xu Xuanyue said. "My Jay is super powerful, when I was a child, I passed by the small shop where his songs were played, and I always liked to listen to them at the door before leaving. Because of this, every time Jay released a new album, I always 'couldn't move an inch' on the way home and walked on the streets. ”

Ke Yuhan looked at the clock, it was already 11:20, completely breaking the routine that he had finally found here, he shook his head, looked at Xu Xuanyue, the "saboteur", and smiled helplessly.

The second song was put on "Peninsula Iron Box", Xu Xuanyue found that Ke Yuhan's eyes had been staring at her, a little shy, and she didn't know what else she could do to maintain her image besides humming songs.

"What's the matter, do I have anything on my face?" Xu Xuanyue asked.

"Oh, no, I just think that if you don't speak, you can be considered a beauty."

Xu Xuanyue threw a pillow over and scolded with a smile: "You can't speak, you will definitely not find a girlfriend in the future." ”

Outside the window, the sound of the rain seemed to be slowly becoming quieter, the whistling of the wind was also calming, and the leaves were no longer rustling. A silence wafted between the two, which was different from embarrassment, and the tranquility and leisurely brought by the music filled the void of silence. This small shop is filled with all the good things in the cold night, glowing in the dark.

"Are you sleepy? Why don't we talk a little longer? Xu Xuanyue proposed.

"Okay." Ke Yuhan said.

The third song is "Nocturne", Xu Xuanyue reacted the moment it sounded, and the discrimination of the prelude of this song is too obvious and strong.

Xu Xuanyue hugged the pillow to find a sense of security, and tentatively brought up the topic again: "Continue what I said before...... That one...... Ke Huaxiong, uncle, he ...... "Every time Xu Xuanyue said a word, he observed the expression on Ke Yuhan's face, for fear that the mention of any pain would make him feel unpleasant.

Ke Yuhan heard her tone intermittently and slowly, waved his hand and said with a smile, "It's okay, you ask." ”

"Oh, that...... I don't think you like him very much, what did you do? ”

Ke Yuhan rubbed his hands, thinking about where to start narrating Ke Huaxiong's crimes, and after thinking about it for a long time, he couldn't find a source for those unspeakable things, and he only had resentment towards him in his heart.

"Xu Xuanyue."

"Huh?" Xu Xuanyue was screamed.

"If a man has a tendency to be violent, is that person guilty?"

"Yes!" Xu Xuanyue replied without thinking, and then realized that Ke Yuhan was talking about his father, and stretched out his fist to express his indignation and retracted it.

The music on the CD player paused for a while, and at first Ke Yuhan thought it was a card, but then a man's prayer came from inside, which seemed to be in Italian.

I don't know why it's so appropriate, the fourth song is "In the Name of the Father".

"It's quite a characteristic." After Ke Yuhan finished praising him, he continued: "Then, let me ask you again, a man, 'eating, drinking, scooping, plugging and pumping' are all stored in his personal collection, and he has blocked the family's bottom of the family, no matter whether the family is dead or alive, this person, is he guilty?" Speaking of this, Ke Yuhan's fists clenched slightly.

He ...... Is it really that bad? Xu Xuanyue recalled Ke Huaxiong's face, and the emptiness in her eyes was indeed reminiscent of a loving father figure.

"One last question, a man...... No, a person, fleeing all gambling debts, abandoning his wife and children, throwing all his responsibilities to his family, and escaping by himself. Isn't this man guilty? ”

"Don't get excited." Xu Xuanyue moved on the sofa and approached him: "I don't know much about your past, if you don't want to talk about it, this topic can be over." ”

Ke Yuhan took a deep breath, adjusted his mentality, smiled and waved his hand: "It's okay, since I talked about my past at the last meeting, I feel that it will make me feel better to say it." ”

Xu Xuanyue felt that her efforts were not in vain.

"For as long as I can remember." Ke Yuhan said. "It's a small adobe house, where mud and thatch are piled together, and after a while, you can use your hands to buckle the dirt off of it. It is said to be adobe, but it is different, half of it is expanded, and it is made of bricks. There are only two small windows in total, so it is always a damp feeling, and you have to dry the quilt diligently, at least twice a week, otherwise it will be as cold as iron on your body. ”

Xu Xuanyue unconsciously wrapped the quilt on her body tightly, and the songs in the CD player were changed again, and the fifth song "Black Sweater" appeared.

"When it rains, the house is leaking, and there are seven or eight pots at home, which are always not enough on rainy days, so they are all rented." Ke Yuhan opened his palm: "50 yuan a month." ”

"Oh my God......" Xu Xuanyue sighed.

Ke Yuhan looked outside: "If it rains like this outside, it will be like a lot of water at home, and the basin will not be able to catch it, and it will soon overflow." The water was almost down the gap in the tiles, so we had to let it go down, and when we woke up, the water in the house would reach our calves, and then we scooped it out in a basin. ”

Speaking of this, Ke Yuhan suddenly laughed: "At that time, I was not sensible, I was often tired and sweaty, but I found it funny and shouted: 'Swimming pool, we have a swimming pool at home.'" ’”

Xu Xuanyue also looked at him with a smile: "Happiness in suffering, then have you learned to swim?" ”

"No, I sink as soon as I get into the water, but if the water was higher than my mother's knee, my bed would have been soaked, and luckily, in that little house, I haven't slept in the water for as long as I can remember."

Feeling a little tired, Xu Xuanyue put the pillow under her and lay on her side on the sofa to listen to Ke Yuhan's story.

But Ke Huaxiong didn't think it was inappropriate, because he didn't come back to live at all. My mother thought he was doing some business outside, and he would take me alone, and he would send back 200 yuan every month, and my mother would always have enough money, and she would sell shoes in the morning market in the town, and we would often be chased around by the chengguan. ”

"So he's not in business?" Xu Xuanyue asked.

"Nope." Ke Yuhan gritted his teeth and shook his head: "He is happy with his family outside, he should have someone, after being known by his mother and family, he called him home, grandpa came to make trouble with a stick, Ke Huaxiong was disrespectful, the family quarreled all day long, smashed all the pots and pans in the house, and grandpa was also hospitalized." A lonely expression lingered in Ke Yuhan's eyes, and his waist became more and more bent.

"At this time, my mother went to the hospital to check and was pregnant with my little brother, and I didn't know what my brother was at that time. Mom chose to endure and give him another chance. Once, she and Ke Huaxiong were gone, and at night, the two came back with a crying child. ”

Xu Xuanyue saw a rare happy look on Ke Yuhan's face.

"At that time, I didn't have a concept of the word brother, I only knew that after he came, I had to take care of him!"

"You're a good brother." Xu Xuanyue said.

The sixth song begins to play, and the eerie style of "Chapter 7 of the Night" makes people shudder.

"The good times didn't last long, more than two years or so, he began to be contaminated with blockage again, my mother hugged my little brother and looked for him from house to house, and the smoky smell inside always made my little brother cry, so I held him at the door and waited. Under the persuasion of his mother, he became more and more impatient, brought the wine to the house to drink, and got drunk every day, and went home drunk and fell asleep. ”

Xu Xuanyue wondered if she should sit next to him now to give him some comfort, but she felt that it was too abrupt and interrupted him from somewhere.

"I started to be sensible, and then I resisted, and my face was bruised and swollen. His strength was too great, and when he got drunk, he was even less light. I clearly remember that on my brother's third birthday, the box where the family saved money was empty, and my mother went out to look for it with a pale face, only to carry Ke Huaxiong back with crying and swollen eyes. ”

"Aunt Guo's temper ......" Xu Xuanyue wanted to say cowardice, but she didn't think it was appropriate.

"Yes." Ke Yuhan knew what she wanted to say: "She's too submissive, but ...... That's for me and my brother, too. He continued: "One winter day with a blizzard, a group of people smashed the door and broke in like bandits. He was in debt and ran away without a trace. Since then...... My mother was completely disheartened, divorced him, took us to the city, and started housekeeping. And Ke Huaxiong, I didn't have any news of him at first, which was a good thing, until he came to the door a year ago...... That's what you see. ”

Ke Yuhan looked at the clock, it was almost twelve o'clock, and his eyes lit up.

The CD was stuck, and there was an intermittent sound, and Xu Xuanyue walked over to check.

"Oh, that, the topic is too heavy." Xu Xuanyue wanted to change another relaxed topic to liven up the atmosphere: "That, let's talk about something else, you ...... If you are not yet an adult, can you come to work as a summer worker? ”

"It's okay to be 16."

"You're only sixteen? I'm 17 years old, okay. Xu Xuanyue smiled.

"I'm almost there, too." Ke Yuhan looked at the clock and began to count down.

"Five."

"Four."

"Three."

"Two."

"One."

The pendulum began to signal the time on the hour, and the striking sound was like the impact of the twilight bell in the temple, solemn and solemn, and it rang 12 times in the silence of the outside world, Ke Yuhan and Xu Xuanyue listened quietly.

Ke Yuhan looked at Xu Xuanyue with a smile on her face full of surprise: "What's wrong?" According to etiquette...... Not going to wish me a happy birthday? ”
