My son has been almost glued to my side for the past two days, and he has been holding my face with two chubby little hands when he sleeps and refuses to let go. I laughed at him, and my heart was full of happiness. The child is an angel sent from heaven, it is true.

On Sunday afternoon, the whimpering of the cell phone woke me up. It's an unfamiliar number. When I picked it up, my voice was still hoarse and sleepy.

But soon woke up.

I sat on the bed for a while, the green trees in the window glistening with the leaves of the setting sun. Looking out from the second floor of the house, it is just beautiful.

You take Zhe Zhe to eat the magic kitchen first, my classmate said that he had something to do with me, and I will go to meet you in the morning.

Who?

Swallow.

Swallow is my college classmate, and my husband knows about it.

I took a taxi to the agreed place. A small bag of newly opened shoppingmall, a café on the third floor.

At a glance, I saw the beautiful woman sitting quietly in her seat.

She bowed slightly, smiled kindly, and watched as I pulled up a chair and sat down.

Aunt.

My greeting voice was deliberately quiet, but I heard a slight trill.

Yanyan, long time no see.

I've never been one of those who can speak well and be obedient to the elders. I don't know how to open my mouth except to deal with it.

I hope you can understand such an abrupt call.

That night, in the hospital. The two of us bumped into each other.

I was shocked. I see.

Auntie, I was at that time, I ...... Didn't pay attention.

No, nothing. You keep your head down, but I recognize you at a glance.

I looked up at her.

Many years have passed, and now it feels unreal. Her eyes are gentle, and the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes are as depicted. I used to think that my brother looked like my mother, and the years turned, and I could vaguely see the shadow of my brother on her beautiful face.

Brother, are you better?

Well, at home, you don't have to worry. He just won't listen to me.

Rock Rock.

Well?

She paused.

I watched her quietly, unable to think of what she was going to say.

I think, maybe, that he's willing to listen to your words.

I saw the helplessness and earnestness on her face.

But I'm confused.

I don't know about your breakup...... It was their mentor who called...... When we arrived, he was full of wine bottles and a lot of scattered pills, which we later learned were all sedative drugs.

When he was in high school, he fell in love with that guy named Liu Yang, I don't know if you know......

He must have been sick at that time, just carrying it alone, and he wouldn't tell us anything......

Later, when he brought you back, his dad and I looked at the two of you, and we thought he had finally found his life......

But as soon as you returned, we saw him again, and it was like that.

He used wine to take those tranquilizers, and he was clearly ......

I didn't expect that my child would also get to this point. When the doctor gave him medicine, he was clutching something tightly in his palm, and when he opened it, it was a small key.

After he repeated vomiting, he vaguely became a little conscious, and his mouth muttered, I leaned over to listen, he was calling you.

But when he does wake up, he says that we are not allowed to go to you.

He's a stuffy gourd, he doesn't want to say it, and he can't pry it out.

We don't understand, you two are so good, why are you suddenly ......

He saw that we had to look for you, so he pried open his teeth and told Liu Yang about it......

Later, we stumbled upon him and couldn't sleep without taking medicine and went to the hospital. Doctors say he had previously conquered depression by willpower, but this time, his faith and support collapsed......

When my aunt said this, she gently wiped away her tears with a tissue on the table, and looked at me sadly. Although I was a little numb by the impact of this story, I also understood what she meant by faith and support.

His mentors valued him very much. After taking a break from school for a while, he asked her daughter to help her apply for a school abroad, and Zhang Heng studied abroad while receiving antidepressant treatment, and everything else was fine, but his alcoholism seriously hurt his body, especially his stomach......

All these years, he has been alone.

I don't want anything else. I thought, just one person. But this time he ...... again

When I got a phone call, my heart went to my throat.

When I saw you at the entrance of the hospital, I suddenly understood.

He's been a little different lately.

I always saw him in a daze, and the smoke was getting slower and slower.

After so many years, Auntie knows that it is Auntie who is selfish to tell you this at this time. However, when the aunt looked at him, the aunt was really scared......

Alcoholism, depression......

My senior brother is the most handsome and the best, and he stands there, and no one else can compare to him at the tip of a finger. But how can these painful pasts, which I don't know about, be related to him?

I don't know what to say. Sorry at this point, it's already pointless.

And my aunt's request, I just find it difficult to bear its weight.

I used to think that he was the one who made the choice.

For a moment, the two of them were relatively silent. The cup of coffee at hand has cooled down early.

The door of the box opened at some point, and a tall man swept past me and threw himself on my aunt who was sitting across from me. The two people in the room were silent, and this variation was really frightening.

The person who came was wearing a baseball cap and a big black mask on his face. I was so bluffed in my seat that I had to stand up.

Auntie's expression was the same as mine at first, but it calmed down in an instant. She patted the person on the back with a look of disgust, and laughed uncontrollably.

Stinky boy, are you going to scare me out of a heart attack?

I slowly sat back in my chair and leaned back on it to adjust my mood, and this meeting momentarily diluted the gloom that had filled the room before. Even I, an outsider, couldn't help but feel some joy along with it.

My aunt looked up at me as she hugged the big boy back. She tried her best to smile at me.

Let you be frightened. This is my nephew, who is not too big or too small to be a star, and this dress is also a last resort.

Auntie, I'm an actor, an actor!

The visitor muttered an aggravated retort as he removed his equipment.

I was stunned again. Although it has been many years, this voice ......

The situation dictates that there is no way to avoid it. I guess I was out of luck, but whenever I owed a little debt, I always had to pay it back more.

Turned around and stood in front of me, who else could it be if it wasn't Rong Yi?

His expression, if measured with a thermometer, would plummet from 37 degrees Celsius. I saw him slowly close his smiling lips, slowly tighten them into a line, and finally the corners of his mouth turned down slightly, and even bit his back teeth.

The aunt also noticed the change in him.

You guys, acquaintance?

I don't know.

I didn't know how to answer, but Rong Yi spoke first.

I was embarrassed, so I had to bow my head and keep silent.

Rong Yi pulled a chair and sat next to his aunt, looking at me expressionlessly from an angle that my aunt couldn't see.

Yan Yan, don't mind, they are actors, the schedule is tight, and they finally met once, and they collided with us in time, I thought, they are not outsiders, so it was arranged.

Auntie, I can understand.

Not an outsider?

Rong Yi's doubts were declared.

Yes, I remember Rong Yi said, he is like a grandfather, and his brother is like a mother, they are the same grandfather, and they can't complain about being so similar.

Auntie seemed to be a little embarrassed. I guess I don't know how to introduce me to him.

I'm Zhang Heng, alumnus.

Alumnus?

Rong Yi looked at me with his eyes. His unfriendliness was obvious.

You won't be the one who let him stay abroad for more than ten years.

Xiaoyi, don't be so rude. This is the aunt's guest.

Rong Yi ignored the elders' obstruction and stared at me fiercely.

Auntie is embarrassed, only I know that he is not just upset for Zhang Heng.

At this point, it is useless to talk about it, and it is not a good time.

Auntie, if there is nothing else, I will take my leave. It's rare for you to see each other, so I won't bother much. I'll think about your words.

Auntie looked at me apologetically.

It's good. This kid doesn't usually do that......

It's okay aunt, it's messy if you care, I know.

I picked up my backpack and finally walked out of the private room that was almost suffocating.
