"My dad died in an accident when I was very young. The family's conditions plummeted, and in order to support me, my mother went with a cement worker, who is now my stepfather. ”

Ye He's hand stiffened, and the noodles slipped between the chopsticks.

When Cheng Ruo said this, his expression was not very sad, but he smiled optimistically, "Probably a girl like you just understands, in short, life still has to go on." I'm sorry, Ye He. Today's events have taken you by surprise. ”

"It's okay."

To some extent, Ye He and Cheng Ruo are somewhat similar.

The room opposite seemed to be over, and the current situation could not be too particular, Ye He only scribbled to wash up.

Ah Ruo's mind was delicate, and he deliberately made up the bed and changed the bed with a new bedding, "You sleep inside, I sleep outside." The room was stuffy, Ye He nodded, only took off his coat, and planned to rest in his T-shirt.

Unexpectedly, Ah Ruo glanced at her, "Ye He, don't take it off." ”

At that moment, she felt nervous, and immediately put on her clothes again.

Cheng Ruo locked the door, repeatedly making sure that it would not be easily opened, and walked around the room again, tightly blocking the cracks in the wooden wall with his clothes, sweating from front to back, and then said to Ye He, "Okay, let's sleep." ”

She suddenly began to panic, "Ah Ruo, are you afraid of him?" Guarding against her? ”

Ye He has seen a lot of news like that, but she is not sure if Ah Ruo is being disturbed.

Cheng Ruo just shook his head, "No, I just want you to rest in peace." ”

When he said this, Ye He couldn't say anything more, maybe he was too careful.

How can you rest in peace?

Ye He almost stayed awake all night, she tossed and turned, looking at Cheng Ruo's back, stiff and straight.

She knew she was too, neatly dressed, unable to sleep at all.

I can't imagine what a lonely girl would do if she really encountered something like that.

The next day, before dawn, the two girls woke up very tacitly.

Cheng Ruo tiptoed to bring a basin of water, "Come, wash up, I'll send you to City A later." ”

Ye He didn't sleep well, and his mind was confused.

"Where are you going early in the morning?"

"Send a friend to Zhouchong County."

"In this way, Sister Cheng, how much money did you earn by working outside?"

Just as she was about to go out, Cheng Ruo's stepfather appeared at the right time, she sighed secretly and opened her mouth in a low voice, "Three thousand." ”

"That's not much, did you spend it?"

"I don't have it, I save everything I can."

"You're still trying to trick me?" The stepfather glanced at Ah Ruo with bad intentions, and grinned again, "That's it, girls, it's understandable to spend money to dress up." ”

After speaking, the swarthy hand reached over and wandered on the girl's thin shoulder, "You see that you are a lot more beautiful when you come back this time." ”

Ye He shed a few drops of sweat, this scene is really disgusting.

Cheng Ruo quickly got rid of those hands, "I really didn't spend money indiscriminately." ”

"Ye He, let's go."

Even his tone was trembling.

Yes, hurry up. Ye He only had this thought in his heart.

"What's the hurry? Wait a minute! ”

The stepfather turned angry, "Where's the ticket? ”

What exactly is a ticket? Of course Aruo understands?

She had no choice but to honestly take the money out of her bag.

Not three thousand, but five thousand.

Cheng Ruo was stunned for a moment, the extra money was actually put in by Ye He last night.

She originally gave it to Ah Ruo in person, as a reward for taking her in, but Ah Ruo refused to accept it, and she felt that she had neglected her.

But Ye He was really embarrassed, so he secretly put it in her bag while she wasn't paying attention.

"I look at more than three thousand."

The stepfather "tsk" twice, yin and yang weird, "Sister Cheng, why don't you learn something good when you get to the big city?" It's not that you don't know, your mother is still waiting for money, and her illness can't be delayed any longer. ”

"If you gamble less and do less with your mother, her health will be much better."

The stepfather's face changed suddenly, "What did you say?" And you taught me a lesson? I've been raising you two for so many years, can't I ask you for money? ”

Ye He was a little frightened, looking at the momentum, he could move anytime and anywhere.

Cheng Ruo could only bite his lip, "Uncle, I was wrong." ”

There were a few more scolding words in her ears, five thousand yuan, and it fell into the dirty pocket at once, Ye He opened her mouth, and wanted to say something, Cheng Ruo pulled her clothes, "Let's go, don't delay the car." ”

"I gave you 2,000 yuan, how can you take it all."

She asked after her, a little distressed.

"Ye He, you are really right." Cheng Ruo turned his head in surprise, "Didn't I say I didn't want your money?" ”

"You gave me two thousand at once, what are you going to do?"

She is not short of money, but she is a little angry with Cheng Ruo, "I have nothing to do, I just cheapen your stepfather." ”

Cheng Ruo smiled bitterly, "It's okay, I'm used to it, I can solve a lot of trouble with money, I hope he only asks for my money." ”

The tone of the latter sentence was ethereal, Ye He didn't listen to it, just looked at her sad expression, and didn't say anything.

However, after half an hour's drive, Ye He got out of the car, and when he left, he left a phone number for Cheng Ruo, "If you have difficulties, remember to find me." ”

Let's hope she won't be in trouble.

People need to be compared, in the past, Ye He has always been the person in difficulty, but today she met a girl who was even weaker than her, and she became the one who took the initiative to help others.

Cheng Ruo's eyes instantly turned red, "Okay." ”

**

Zhouchong County, Prison.

With thick dust, heavy walls, and huge iron fences, Gu Chen's tall and handsome image looked extremely out of place.

The sun was sweltering, and I didn't take a few steps before I was sweating.

The door is tightly closed, completely dividing the inside and outside into two worlds, dark and light, eternally opposed.

"I'm looking for someone named Tan Zi'an."

Gu Chen's gaze was deep, and his tone was very heavy.

That incident changed more than one family.

**

Tan Zi'an's steps were calm, and the moment he stepped into the house, his mood was bitter and complicated, and tears almost burst out of his eyes.

"Mom and Dad, I'm back."

This sentence came out of his mouth with great difficulty, with a salty bitterness, Gu Ran stood aside, and even felt that he couldn't face the two elders.

Father Tan's hair is gray, and he is about ten years older than his actual age. He saw that the shadow in front of him was both familiar and unfamiliar, "What are you calling me?"

Unbelievable, trembling, he cleared his dry and hoarse throat, "Is Zi'an back?" ”

"Dad!"

Tan Zi'an finally couldn't bear it anymore, and suddenly knelt on the ground crying, and knocked his head on the ground several times, "My son is back, it's because my son is not filial, and he came back too late." Mom and Dad, I'm sorry!! ”

Gu Chen stood aside, pretending to cough to hide his sore nose, such a painful crying reunion scene was not comfortable for him.

The family hugged each other and cried for a long time, but Father Tan stood up to ease the atmosphere, "Okay, I'll go buy some food, pick up the wind and wash the dust for my son, wash away all the bad things in the past, and we will still be a complete family in the future." ”

"Gu Chen, you also stay and eat together, all these years, if it weren't for your help and comfort, I really don't know how long our husband and wife can last."

Mother Tan listened to it, and then wiped her tears, "That's right, Zi'an, you also have to thank others, you always send things and money during the New Year's holidays, saying that you want to treat us as parents and take good care of your parents for you." I never imagined that there would be such a child with such affection and righteousness. ”

Tan Zi'an agreed again and again, and was turning around, but Gu Chen refused to accept this gift.

He didn't deserve it, and he couldn't afford it.

Between the eye contact, the mood of the two men is self-evident.

As far as Tan Zi'an is concerned, the two of them are not without estrangement.

There are some things that probably only the two of them understand.

At least, in the past three years, Gu Chen has not visited him once, even if he tried his best to compensate himself and do his duty.

He was in prison, in addition to his parents, what he remembered was his friends, Tang Shuangshuang, who always loved to quarrel with her, and the stupid Ah Ruo, and Na, the day he was sent to the bureau, the boss cried the worst.

But what about later? No one came to see him again, not a single one.

How many cracks are there on the floor? How many cobwebs are in the corners? Tan Zi'an knows it all clearly.

During three years of isolation, he was lonely.

Gu Chen moved his dry throat, he wanted to say something, but he felt that it was useless to say anything, fortunately, Zi'an was released from prison, and if it passed, let it pass.

He was expelled from school, his mother died of illness, and he completely became a person with no home, no support, and no faith. Because he couldn't afford to eat, he was beaten on the street and was dying, at that time, how could he have the strength to see Zi'an? He didn't even know what kind of psychology to use to visit Zi'an, the blame was all on him, and he didn't even have the courage to stand up and say, "No, there is me".

Gu Chen is actually not having a good time, Tan Zi'an knows.

He only said lightly, "My mother had a heart attack three years ago and passed away, and I am now working hard in X City, and my life is much better than before." ”

At the dinner table, after listening to his words, Tan Zi'an's hands stiffened, it turned out that there was such a change?

He can't blame him for anything, that's his boss.

Gu Chen laughed, but there were tears in his eyes, "What are you doing?" Be happy and eat more hahahahaha. ”

He looked at Tan Zi'an's face, it was clear that he was still thin and black, but it was different, he was obviously smiling, but he was so sad that he wanted to cry, and secretly told himself not to cry.

What a good day, why do you want to cry? The gloom is over.

He said a lot of things at the dinner table, sad, funny, sad, everything, said it with a dry mouth, and desperately tried to hide his sadness with sentences.

He told Zi'an that Tang Shuangshuang is doing well now, going to college in other places, no illness or disaster, and living an ordinary life, but he doesn't know when he will come back to see.

He told Zi'an that he was not admitted to X University, but he became a star for some reason, and won an award for some reason.

He told Zi'an that in the future, he would follow him to X City to look for a job, and no one there would know what happened to him, and if anyone dared to look down on him, he would pick up his arm and clean up for him.

But there was no mention of Cheng Ruo.

That girl, in fact, is not worth doing so much for her. If Zi'an knew, how sad and regretful should he be? The best youth was given to prison.

Tan Zi'an listened to Gu Chen's words, cried and laughed, laughed and cried.

"Boss, forget it, no matter how much I toss, that's it."

", don't you see if I look good when I toss? Don't take a good look at it, which girl can take a fancy to you! ”

"You're right. Boss, to tell you the truth, I didn't even recognize you at first, you look like a movie star. Oh no, you're pretty much a movie star now. Oops, I just want to tell you that you are already good-looking, and you look even better if you pinch it, but you are not like me, you are ugly, and you will not change no matter what. ”

"What's the ugly about you? I've never seen you so humble before. Tan Zi'an, you are handsome in the eyes of Lao Tzu. The temperament is completely different from before, like that or something. Crazy boy, right, you are really like now, Brother Hao Nan took an iron rod and killed the entire Causeway Bay. ”

"Boss, I don't hurt anyone now."

Gu Chen knew that he was speechless again, "Okay, I don't care, you are handsome, much better than Yu Zihua's oily and powdery sissy." ”

Since that award ceremony, he went out halfway and snatched Yu Zihua's award, not to mention how bad he was with him in the company.

Gu Chen hates him, what the hell do you blame the organizers? What does Blame Lao Tzu do?

Zi'an knew that he was talking nonsense as soon as he heard it, how could it be so exaggerated?

"You don't keep saying I'm like a skinny monkey."

"That's before, let's go, don't talk nonsense with you, go buy clothes, concave shape."

"By the way, boss, you're a star now, can you help me get an autograph?"

Gu Chen began to be triumphant, "You just say, hahahaha." ”
