A few months ago.

Hou Jingcheng said goodbye to his junior high school days, and the teacher also sent away the most uneasy students.

In order to celebrate his promotion to high school, and for the sake of not being at the bottom of the final exam of his first year of high school, Lin Sizhen decided to treat him to a big meal - Malatang on the road in town.

In the scorching summer, the hot spicy hot was constantly steaming, Lin Sizhen kept blowing into the bowl before she dared to take the first bite, both of their mouths were hot and red, Hou Jingcheng saw her sweaty appearance, and subconsciously freed up a head to wipe it for her, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

Hou Jingcheng took a bite of the fish ball, chewing it and said vaguely.

"Sizhen, thank you."

After Lin Sizhen heard this, he translated in his mind for a long time before he understood his words.

"No thanks, who made me your sister."

Hou Jingcheng just finished listening. immediately threw him a warning look, and Lin Sizhen changed his words suddenly.

"Who, who made me your friend!"

Lin Sizhen muttered in a low voice: Children want to save face, I am already older than you.

"Sizhen."

"Hmm."

"I... If I want to leave, grandma will trouble you to take care of her, and have time to talk to her more, otherwise you will look good when I come back! I thought about saying it in a joking tone, but the atmosphere still dropped to zero.

Lin Sizhen's face changed suddenly, there was confusion and anger, more expecting that this was a childish joke.

"What do you mean? Where are you going? She asked.

"I went outside to earn money, my uncle has already found a job for me, the salary is very good, and I will leave tomorrow." Hou Jingcheng said unhurriedly, his eyes constantly staring at the subtle changes on her face.

"Is it okay for you to go out and work at such a young age?" Lin Sizhen looked at him as if he was serious, paused for a while, and said, "Will you continue to study?" ”

"I'm not sure yet, maybe not, anyway, I can't study, it's a waste of money, and I have to take care of my grandmother, I can't help it." As he spoke, Hou Jingcheng lowered his head.

"Isn't grandma raised by your uncle?" Lin Sizhen suddenly didn't understand what he meant by taking care of himself?

"Yes, my uncle can support my grandmother, but what about me? He is not obligated to support me, he has a family of his own, and I don't want to cause him any more trouble. A hint of humility flashed on Hou Jingcheng's face.

Lin Sizhen couldn't answer for a while, and picked up the spicy tang in the bowl in his hand. She also felt a little guilty in her heart, since she didn't know, this naughty brother had so many things hidden in his heart! Sometimes I really feel like his sister, being taken care of by him.

After a period of silence, Lin Sizhen asked again,

"But why are you telling me now, are you informing me?"

Hou Jingcheng stared at her tightly, and when he saw her low expression, he knew that she would be reluctant to give up herself, he said.

"I'm afraid, I'm afraid you'll be sad if you say it."

"Don't you say I'm not sad now? Forget it, just go! ”

As soon as the words fell, Lin Sizhen threw down the paper bowl in his hand and bowed his head and left.

Hou Jingcheng stood in place, just wanted to chase it, but what could he say when he caught up! I've already bought all the tickets.

Hou Jingcheng watched her small figure drift away, and seemed to realize that he was not at this distance from her.

lost her parents since she was a child and grew up with her elderly grandmother, because of this, 16-year-old Hou Jingcheng has more maturity and responsibility than boys of the same age, she knows that Lin Sizhen is reluctant to give up herself, because she only has her, and he only has her. But he can't indulge himself to be a little gangster who doesn't learn and doesn't know how to do it, entertain other people's money, and live a chaotic life. Let them be disappointed in themselves, in fact, he had this idea for a long time. It's just that the timing is just right.

Hou Jingcheng sighed, picked up the paper bowl on the ground and threw it into the trash.

Early the next morning.

Hou Jingcheng had already packed his luggage and wandered at the door.

"Xiao Cheng, take care of yourself when you go over there, remember to come back early, don't delay the registration for the new semester." Grandma Hou instructed.

"Got it, Grandma." Hou Jingcheng buried his head in guilt, he still didn't tell his grandmother the truth, he wanted to go first, and when the time came, he said that he was too busy with work to start and wouldn't come back to study. That's all there is to it.

Hou Jingcheng smiled bitterly and looked at the door with a frown.

"Alright, grandma went and see what else she needed to bring."

"Hmm."

When Hou Jingcheng was bowing his head in frustration, a familiar voice called his name.

"Hou Jingcheng," Lin Sizhen suddenly appeared in front of him, half-bent over, propped his hands on his legs, looked up at him and panted and said, "It's good that you didn't leave." ”

Hou Jingcheng's heart was sour, and he said with a smile: "I dare to leave if you don't come."

Lin Sizhen straightened up and smiled: "It's pretty much the same."

A smile can relieve all unhappiness. A tacit understanding that belongs to them.

"I'm sorry I can't be with you anymore." Hou Jingcheng touched her head and said gently.

Lin Sizhen looked disgusted and opened his hand.

"It's okay if you're not alone, you don't have to buy two copies of anything in the future, and you don't have to talk about you naughty ghost, don't..."

"Hey, in the future, when you give an order from Miss Lin, I will rush back immediately, how about it?" Hou Jingcheng leaned in front of her and frowned.

"Okay, that's a deal." Lin Sizhen smiled bitterly.

Hou Jingcheng looked at the clock and said.

"It's time for me to go, help me take care of my grandma, and take care of myself, I can write down your phone number, and I can harass you at any time."

"I'll wait."

After speaking, Hou Jingcheng said goodbye to Grandma Hou and left, without looking back, leaving only a back.

Lin Sizhen suddenly found that the younger brother in her eyes had grown up, a head taller than her, and his facial features had gradually grown, and he was no longer the skinny child. The figure is also strong. The whole person highlights the little manhood!

Looking back on the past, Hou Jingcheng has always taken care of himself, and without Hou Jingcheng, there would be no Lin Sizhen who loves to laugh, and now that he is gone, he has left nothing behind, but took away her smile.

Without Hou Jingcheng, what is left of Lin Sizhen?!

After Hou Jingcheng left, Lin Sizhen almost stayed at home, because she didn't have any other friends, she stayed in the room every day to study, she didn't want to wander in the lower reaches of the class, but at the same time this is also the best way to numb herself, but when she stopped, she always felt empty around her.

She was used to his days.

The boring days passed day by day, during which Hou Jingcheng called back several times, and every time he answered the phone, Lin Sizhen had to take ten levels of precaution before he dared to answer. I'm afraid that my mother will know about her and have to talk about her, and waste the phone bill to talk nonsense with that little gangster.

Finally, one day the dull days were broken, and she called Hou Jingcheng for the first time, using the hospital's public phone.

It was quick to answer, and she heard the hearty laughter again.

"Hey, who are you?"

"It's me."

As soon as he heard Lin Sizhen's voice, Hou Jingcheng immediately laughed, "Sizhen, do you miss me, haha!" ”

"Hello? Sizhen, why don't you speak. Hou Jingcheng heard no sound and asked.

Lin Sizhen covered her mouth with her hands, her whole body kept trembling, countless tears welled up in her eyes, and she sobbed quietly, trying to keep her voice to a minimum.

Hou Jingcheng vaguely heard a voice, his heart tightened, and he kept asking, "Sizhen, are you crying?" Are you talking? What's wrong? ”

Lin Sizhen calmed down and spit out a few words with difficulty: "Hou Jingcheng, I..."

Xu felt that he had something to rely on, Lin Sizhen vented all his emotions, let go of his voice and cried, Hou Jingcheng could only be anxious, how much he wanted to give her a shoulder at this time, let her lean on, give her a tissue, and wipe away her tears. But the only thing he could do was listen to her cry, which hurt his heart.

After a long time, the crying became quieter, and Hou Jingcheng asked carefully.

"Sizhen, what's going on?"

"Hou Jingcheng," Lin Sizhen coughed a few times, at this time she only felt a hot pain in her throat, and she was almost speechless, but she tried to swallow her saliva, moistened her throat, and said word by word: "What should I do?" I... I... My dad... Mom was in a car accident, they're leaving, I... What to do? ”

After speaking, Lin Sizhen's emotions were out of control again, her tears had dried up, and she just kept shaking.

Hou Jingcheng closed his eyes gently, held back his tears, and said, "Sizhen, you wait for me, I will come back immediately, immediately."

"Hmm-"
