Mom didn't go home right away, but stayed to help pack things, godmother left, her things had to be sorted out and put away, Xiao Jun said that he was going to the UK, and he had to help pack his luggage, in fact, Xiao Jun was very independent and didn't need help.

"Xiaojun, why did you suddenly say that you were going to the UK?" Mom asked coldly, and I just wanted to ask him.

"It's been a few months, but my mother is not in good health and hasn't passed." Xiao Jun was looking at the bookshelf and turned his head to look at me, as if he wanted to say something to me, but I avoided his gaze.

"So, how long will it take to come back?" Mom simply sat on the edge of the bed and sorted out the clothes in the box.

"It depends, maybe I won't come back." Xiao Jun finally took out a book and looked at me again.

Is he trying to wait for me to keep him? Again, I avoided his gaze.

"Oh, I still call your dad often when I get there." Mom never noticed our little moves.

"Yes, I will." Xiao Jun handed the book to his mother, and he knew that it must be what his mother meant.

Mom glanced at the desk, got up and took the photo frame on it, which was taken by a few of us when we were playing in Shanghai, with People's Square in the background, and it was also the only group photo of the four of us.

Mom took a closer look at the photo and put it in the box.

Brother Jun turned the book out again and handed it to his mother.

I leaned against the door frame and watched them work together harmoniously, feeling warm in my heart, although they rarely saw each other, they were always cordial when they were together.

I turned around and came to the living room, the living room was empty, and my godfather was sitting alone on the balcony, holding the book that my godmother hadn't finished reading yet, his eyes were not on the book, looking at the colors of the night, maybe he had fallen into memory.

The curtains of the balcony floated in, and the wind picked up.

It was ten o'clock in the evening, and I was still covering the sofa with my mother, and my godfather said that he hadn't been home recently, so now I had to deal with it when no one lived.

"Godmother, I want to go out for a walk and let Xiaoxiao go with me, right?" Xiao Jun took a coat and came out of the room.

"Now?" Mom looks at the wall clock.

"Well, there's still a lot to clean up, right? Why don't we get it together and go out? Xiao Jun was ready to come over to help.

"Oh, no, no, it's the living room here, you guys go out, come back early."

"Where's my dad?" Xiao Jun looked around and didn't see the shadow of his godfather.

"Go up and rest, he hasn't closed his eyes for so many days, go out, don't talk to him."

"Where are you going now?" I didn't mean to go out.

"There are supermarkets that are not closed, I will go buy some hot sauce, it is not easy to buy it when I go out." Xiao Jun walked to the door as he spoke, and took my coat from the coat rack.

"Oh, so we're out?" I looked at my mother.

"Go ahead." Mom nodded.

At ten o'clock, the lights have been turned off in the school, and it is dark everywhere, but now the city can no longer experience the night when you can't see your fingers, and there will always be bright lights around, reflecting the sky like a Buddha.

After going out, I walked behind Xiao Jun, did not speak, his pace was very slow, it didn't look like he was going to buy something, it seemed to be just an excuse, I wanted to find something to say, but the long silence made it impossible for me to speak.

"Brother ...... Army"

"Huh?"

"We seem to have gone a little far......"

"Huh? Oh, it seems to be. ”

"Or ...... Let's go back? ”

"Yes, okay."

Turning around, I walked ahead.

It was silent until you could see the balcony lights.

My godmother once said that the lights on their balcony were always on, because my godfather worked overtime almost every day and could only go back late, leaving the lights on so that he could see the house from afar.

"Xiaoxiao."

"Huh?"

"I'm going to England tomorrow."

"Yes."

"Don't you have anything to say to me?"

"You'll take care of yourself."

"If you go, you won't come back!"

"You can still come back when you want to come back."

"You really don't have the slightest reluctance?"

Reluctantly, but I can't keep you, you are a suitable other half, but my heart is too small and too small to fit you, if you are not so good, I don't have to avoid it so hard.

"Good boys are ambitious, come on, I'm optimistic about you."

"Okay, I see."

The next day, my godfather went to the unit early in the morning, my mother packed her luggage, and in order to go to the airport with Xiao Jun, I bought a ticket a little later than him, and I was ready to go back to school, and my mother also packed a bag for me, which was the camouflage I wore out, but it had been washed.

We inspected the house again and finally went out with our bags in our hands.

The door was slammed shut, and it was possible that they would not be seen again for a long, long time.
