It's like coming to an old location from a new era, and when you think about it, it's a corner of the city, and you suddenly feel inconceivable, the same place and the same name, but there are two very different ways of living.

However, in such large cities, this way of life is actually the most common.

When he first arrived, Zhou Ling would have been surprised, but later he was used to the fact that there were two different faces of a city.

Yu Chen took him to a small alley, and the breath in it made him think that his home seemed to be such an environment.

It's just that this place is a lot better than theirs.

The houses here at least look a little more presentable than they are.

"Knock on the door."

Walking to the third floor, Yu Chen stopped outside the door and motioned for Zhou Ling to knock on the door.

Zhou Ling looked at the gray wall, there were a lot of small advertisements pasted on it, and there was an extremely cheesy word of blessing on the big sticker door.

He couldn't help but sink his eyebrows, so the people inside wanted to see him?

He knocked on the door.

It didn't happen.

Looking at Yu Chen, Yu Chen motioned for him to continue knocking.

He had no choice but to keep knocking on the door again.

This time, before he could react, the door was open.

"Come in."

There was a heavy voice from inside.

Zhou Ling looked at the sound of the door opening, and couldn't help but be a little curious about what was inside.

"Let's go."

Yu Chen's voice sounded in his ears, and he remembered that he was not alone.

An Xia's hand was on his arm: "Let's go, don't be afraid, the people inside may not look the same as you imagined, but with us, he has to weigh what he wants to do." ”

After hearing this, Zhou Ling felt relieved and nodded.

But to his surprise, it was a little different from his imagination, but he didn't expect that the person in front of him would give such a big shock.

In broad daylight, the sun is full of sunshine outside, but the room is still covered by curtains, and no sunlight can penetrate at all, and normal people who will wrap their whole body in bandages, just like the mummy he once saw on TV, but those eyes are extremely enthusiastic, and there is a little excitement in them, and when I see him, I subconsciously want to reach out.

On the contrary, it was Zhou Ling, and his first reaction was to frown and dodge.

An Xia also knew Zhou Ling's rejection, and stood in front of Zhou Ling without a trace.

The person on the other side also seemed to realize that this behavior was not good, and said sorry.

Although his voice was very hoarse, Zhou Ling could still recognize that the person opposite was a man.

"You want to see me?" He said.

The people in front of you are like ghosts.

And this room gave him a bad feeling, and he was always a little flustered.

The man's trembling hand pulled out a box.

"This is what your mother left you." The man's voice was hoarse, but if you listened closely, you could hear it a little magnetic.

In the past, he may have had a good voice, but I don't know if it was an accident or artificial, and it has become the hoarse appearance it is now.

Zhou Ling couldn't help but be stunned when he heard the words of his mother, and even forgot to look at the box in his hand, but looked at the person in front of him excitedly: "Do you know my mother?" ”

"How did you know her, and what is your relationship with her? And do you know where my mom is? What the hell is going on? You answer me. ”

He wanted to let the people in front of him say it all now, but the man in front of him was like a slow-acting robot, he opened his mouth, and finally could only spit out a few words: "Your mother is dead, this is the only relic she left you." ”

The glimmer of hope that Zhou Ling had just ignited was extinguished again in the man's words.

He had never regretted it as much as he had just been, he shouldn't have come, so that there was at least one hope in his heart.

Anxia also knew how hard this incident hit him, and shook his hand to cheer him up a little.

Zhou Ling came back to his senses and looked at the box in his hand.

"This is a relic left to you by your mother, keep it well." Anxia said in a low voice that she also had such times, although she couldn't empathize, but she also knew how desperate the pain was.

Zhou Ling nodded.

There was not much to say between them.

After handing over the relics to Zhou Ling, the man drove them out.

Zhou Ling wanted to ask more things, but the man seemed to be deliberately evading, no matter what Zhou Ling asked, he didn't say a word.

He even looked a little angry.

Zhou Ling's heart was in a mess, and on the way back, he looked at the box in his hand and didn't know what he was thinking.

Yu Chen drove the car, An Xia sat in the passenger seat, looking in the rearview mirror from time to time, looking like he wanted to say something.

Yuchen knew what An Xia wanted to say.

"You should remember where the address was." Yu Chen said before An Xia took the first step.

Zhou Ling nodded complicatedly: "With us here, he should have some concerns, and if you go alone, you may gain something." ”

An Xia looked at him in surprise.

I really didn't expect him to be able to say such a thing.

Is Yuchen such a kind person?

Of course not.

He just knew in his heart that even if he didn't say it, the child was so smart, he would go to see him after he remembered the address, Yuchen just picked out the matter first.

Sure enough, I saw Zhou Ling nodding with a complicated face.

An Xia also turned around: "If you are afraid, you can call me along, and I will wait for you downstairs at that time." ”

Zhou Ling is usually precocious, but this will look like a child, but now he looks very cute with his puffed face: "You said, you must accompany me when the time comes." ”

An Xia couldn't cry or laugh, and he didn't know how insecure this child was, and other things might not be able to see him remember, but he must remember this promise clearly.

Yu Chen glanced in the rearview mirror, just met the child's eyes, he couldn't help but make a grimace, Yu Chen turned his head, how could he care about a child.

But it's the third year of junior high school.,It's not a pure child anymore.,It seems that there's still too little homework assigned.,After that, I called the math teacher to add a few more sets of mock papers to him.。

Zhou Ling, who didn't know his tragic ending, arrived at the Yu family.

The last time he came, the Yu family had only one housekeeper uncle.

Uncle Housekeeper doesn't ask where he comes from, and he doesn't usually take the initiative to talk, but he will show up when he needs it.

He thought it was still the same as before, and it was only them who were quiet.

But today was clearly a little different from what he had imagined.

There were more people around the big mansion, and it was still visible to the naked eye, not like there were only two or three people he thought before.

Not only that, but after he entered the entrance, he was stopped by An Xia as soon as he wanted to speak.

"It's time for the elderly to take a nap, just use the sound at normal size, don't be noisy and noisy."

"Old man?"

"Well, Uncle Yuchen's grandparents are back." Ansha explained.

Zhou Ling blinked, looking very surprised.

Yu Chen was speechless: "What kind of expression are you?" ”

Zhou Ling shook his head and quickly said no.

He just didn't expect that Yuchen still had grandparents.

But normal people seem to have grandparents, and the only one who doesn't have him is him.

"You go up and clean up first, go take a shower, and then you can come down to eat later, go quickly." Anxia patted him on the shoulder in fear.

Zhou Ling: "Is my room still preserved?" ”

"Of course, you should remember where your room was, right?" Ansha said as a matter of course.

Zhou Ling had mixed feelings in his heart, because Yu Chen drove him away, he was still sulking for a long time, and when he came back this time, he thought he was a guest, but he didn't expect An Xia to prepare his room.

"Mr. Housekeeper will let people clean your bedroom every day, what about me, I know that you work very hard, but occasionally you don't need to be so urgent, I know that you are very nervous about studying now, and you can come here when you are on vacation, and this can be your other home."

Anxia said earnestly.

This child's mind is heavier, so Anxia is a little slower when she speaks, she still likes this child, although it can be seen that there are indeed more eyes, but it is just a child, there is a heart to compete for favor, but there is actually a kindness.

Zhou Ling didn't expect An Xia to say such a thing to himself.

When he was a child, he felt that although he was not as good as those orphans by his father, at least they understood it from the beginning and therefore did not expect anything, but he was disappointed in his expectations every time.

He has never felt the warmth of home, and he doesn't know how to define the word home, he just vaguely feels that this is a very warm feeling, which makes people want to linger in this warmth.

It's just that Yuchen will agree?

Thinking of this, he sneaked a glance at Yu Chen, and found that the man who usually refused with a cold face didn't say a word at this time.

Of course, Yu Chen felt his little eyes.

The kind of wolf cub-like eyes that cautiously tested him really looked a little like him in the past.

"Go ahead, be lighter when you go upstairs." Yu Chen said lightly.

Zhou Ling hid his surprised expression, pursed his lips and nodded.

An Xia smiled, it was not easy for Yu Chen to say this.

Zhou Ling returned to the room and took out the box that the man had given him before from his schoolbag.

The box was a wooden box, and the patterns on it were so intricately carved that he didn't recognize what it was, and he wasn't interested in a box, he was just curious about what his mother would leave for him.

But it still didn't seem accurate to say that, and he wasn't sure if what the man said was true.

He took a look, picked up the box and looked at it, and found that there was a combination lock on it.
