Luan Kite, who was half-asleep and half-awake, was awakened by a small deceleration of the train, and her whole body swayed towards the seat on the other side, but the expected leaning did not happen, and she fell directly on the empty seat.

Luan Yuan rubbed her eyes a little dazedly, but found that Tang Juyi had left the train without knowing when.

looked left and right, but could not find Tang Juyi's figure, and Luan Yuan could only mutter:

"It's so rude, I don't even say hello when I want to leave......"

In fact, Tang Juyi had already changed his ticket to another train half an hour ago, and his destination was still Chujiang. is not only to hide people's eyes, but also to not have anything to do with Luan Kite.

For this strange girl who has met several times, Tang Juyi does have a small special feeling, but it is limited to the sigh of fate, not love at first sight.

After all, after being erased from the traces of existence now, this cute girl who is full of youth may be the one who knows Tang Juyi the most in this world.

For this interesting fate, Tang Juyi didn't want to bring any trouble to that girl because of his own reasons. But it just so happened that he was not good at saying goodbye, so he chose such a quiet way to leave.

And after another four hours, Tang Juyi finally stood at the exit of Chujiang Station.

glanced at the passengers coming and going, as well as the taxis parked outside the station, and a sense of familiarity involuntarily came to his heart, which made Tang Juyi feel a strange retreat.

"Sure enough, it's more timid to be close to home......"

Smiling self-deprecatingly, he reached for a cab.

"Master, go ......"

Of course, he will not forget the address of his home, although he has not been home for more than half a year, but he has lived in this city for nearly 20 years, and even if he closes his eyes, he can walk to the street near his home.

If that place could be considered home.

It's only less than a twenty-minute drive, but Tang Juyi has already thought about it a lot. He had imagined many possible scenarios, none of which would be a happy ending.

This complicated relationship lasted until he walked to his doorstep.

Ordinary unit buildings, ordinary corridors, ordinary gates, and ordinary couplets everywhere reveal the atmosphere of ordinary people in a small city.

Through the door panel where many small advertisements were pasted, Tang Juyi could vaguely hear the sound of stir-frying and the aroma of vegetables overflowing from the cracks in the door.

"Yes, it's almost time for dinner."

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Juyi still rang the electronic doorbell at the door, and the doorbell that had been dysfunctional due to too much time also made a strange sound like a chicken being pinched by the neck.

"Here ......

A faint sound came from inside the door, followed by a rush of footsteps.

At this time, Tang Juyi's nervousness also climbed to the highest.

The door opened, and the figure of the middle-aged woman wearing an oil-stained printed apron and holding a spatula in her hand also completely appeared in front of Tang Juyi.

Looking at the familiar face blankly, Tang Juyi's lips trembled, but he still held back the "Mom".

"Are you ......?"

Xiao Ran, that is, Tang Juyi's mother, showed a confused look and asked questions about the strange young man in front of her.

Tang Juyi's throat rolled and showed a reluctant smile:

"Hello Auntie, may I ask if this is Mr. Tang Haoran's home?"

Xiao Ran was stunned, but still nodded:

"yes, what's the matter with you?"

At this time, a rough and low male voice also came from the living room:

"Who? What's going on? ”

Shinoran turned around and shouted:

"Old Don, looking for you!"

The man in the living room, who was obviously watching TV, let out an impatient "tsk", but still struggled to get up from the couch and walked towards the door.

"Young man, are you looking for me?"

Tang Haoran looked at the young man with a frown, and searched in his memory, but he didn't have the slightest impression.

Looking at the doubts and vigilance on the faces of the two people who were once the most familiar, Tang Juyi felt a pain in his heart, but there was still a gentle smile on his face:

"That's right, I'm a student at Chujiang University and need to do a social survey, so I took the liberty of bothering my uncle and aunt."

Tang Haoran let out an "oh", and the vigilance in his expression was slightly reduced:

"Chujiang University's ...... Social surveys, huh? No problem, you name it. “

While speaking, Tang Haoran waved his hand at his wife:

"You're busy with your going, the dishes are almost mushy."

Being reminded like this, Xiao Ran remembered that there was still a fire burning on his stove, and immediately trotted to the kitchen in a panic.

Looking at the man who was once called "father" by himself, Tang Juyi opened his mouth for a long time but couldn't speak, and finally could only stammer out a few words:

"This ...... I ......"

Tang Haoran coughed and took half a step back:

"Come in and talk about it, it's not a good place to ask here. There are slippers in the shoe cabinet next to it, so you can wear them first. ”

After saying this, Tang Haoran turned around and walked into the house.

Tang Juyi reacted for a second, then quickly changed into slippers, followed Tang Haoran into the house, and skillfully closed the door.

Sitting on the sofa next to the coffee table, Tang Haoran also sat up slightly straighter, and put on a serious look:

"Okay, just ask if there's anything you want to ask."

Tang Juyi, who walked into the house, was still looking at the group photo hanging on the wall, but when he heard Tang Haoran's words, he immediately came back to his senses:

"Ah, okay!"

Sitting down on another sofa with nervousness, Tang Juyi quickly conceived a lie in his mind. Since he is a "college student who came to do social research", he obviously cannot look unprepared.

Soon, Tang Juyi paid attention, and also made a serious expression:

"That's right, there are a few questions I need to interview you......"

"First of all, do you have children?"

Tang Haoran was stunned, and then shook his head decisively:

"Nope."

Tang Juyi's heart sank when he heard these two words, but his face still did not change color:

"Well, it's not like most families...... So in your opinion, wouldn't it be a bit lonely to be without children? ”

Faced with this kind of question, Tang Haoran obviously didn't know how to answer:

"This ...... It feels okay, after all, it's been all these years...... But to be honest, I've been a little uncomfortable lately, and I may be getting old. ”

Tang Juyi nodded lightly, pretending to record something on his phone.

Then, Tang Juyi asked a few more questions related to life, and Tang Haoran also replied seriously. And after the "investigation" ended, Tang Juyi also showed a relieved expression:

"My question is over, and so is this investigation, thank you for your cooperation...... In that case, I won't bother the two of you to eat, just-"

Before Tang Juyi's words were finished, Xiao Ran, who was walking to the table with dishes, suddenly interrupted:

"You haven't eaten yet, have you?"

Tang Juyi was stunned for a while, and he didn't know what to do for a while:

"Ah...... It's true that it's not ......."

Xiao Ran looked like he was expecting:

"You young people are like this, you often forget to eat while doing work or homework, and this is not a good habit!"

Tang Juyi scratched his head in embarrassment:

"Actually, it's okay, it's not a big deal......

Shinoran shook his head and said solemnly:

"How's that going to work! It just so happens that I have prepared some more dishes today, so you can just finish your meal here before leaving. ”

Hearing this, Tang Juyi was stunned:

"This ......"

"What's this, it's a matter of heating a small pot of rice...... Old Tang, you can eat later. ”

Xiao Ran was full of momentum, and directly blocked Tang Juyi's next words of resignation.

Tang Haoran, who was sitting in the living room, said "um" dissatisfiedly, but he didn't mean to refuse.

Without waiting for Tang Juyi to say anything more, Xiao Ran had already walked quickly to the kitchen and brought three pairs of chopsticks and placed them on the table.

Looking at the scene in front of him, Tang Juyi suddenly felt that it was not a taste.

This was a scene he was all too familiar with before......
