South Lane.

Qin Ge stood at the fork in the road against the cold wind, holding his mobile phone in one hand, looking at the empty street across the road without squinting, holding the suitcase lever in the other, his back straight.

Like a telephone pole standing on the side of the road, some funny and some pitiful.

The signal lights at the intersection turned from red to green, and the cars waiting in the intersection slowly drove forward, and the traffic quickly drove away in front of her, forming a series of car shadows, blurring her vision.

Qin Ge lowered his eyes slightly, his gaze paused on the mobile phone screen for a few seconds, and he sighed almost inaudibly, revealing a smile that was uglier than crying, and the loss that could not be concealed under his eyes spread to his heart.

Stuffy, out of breath.

Probably under the influence of the ghost weather, my mood is also very bad. Qin Ge sucked his nose that was red from the cold, hypnotized himself, his fingers involuntarily clicked on the address book, and his fingertips stayed on the name of Lu Yuchuan at the top of the contact for a long time, and he didn't dare to press it down.

When did she become so timid and spineless?

Where did Qin Ge, who used to do things neatly and not afraid of heaven and earth, go?

…………

She curled her lips self-deprecatingly, put away her phone and slipped it into the pocket of her tweed coat, and walked away from the fork in the road with the trunk lever in hand, all the way down the sidewalk.

"Goodbye, Lu Yuchuan."

Land House.

"Xu Huaisheng, don't you mind if I walk with you, right?" Xin Rui dragged her suitcase out of the house, smiling heartlessly, but her expression could not hide her tiredness.

"Why are you in a hurry to leave?" Zhong Yi was a little surprised, his eyes stayed on Xin Rui's face for a few seconds, trying to peek into the so-called secret from her smile, "Didn't you tell Aunt Xin that we would go back together, why did you suddenly have to leave first?" ”

Xin Rui smiled embarrassedly and waved her hand, and the hand holding the suitcase lever never let go: "Well, it's a bit urgent." ”

Concise and to the point, obviously not wanting to explain more.

Xu Huaisheng curled his lips and smiled without an opinion, "You won't stay for a few more days?" ”

"Why do you even want to go back? It's not just right to stay a few more days and go back with Xiaoyi. You children, you love to toss around. Grandma's expression suddenly became serious, and she got up with Zhongyi and took a few steps forward: "You wait a while before leaving, I made some plum blossom cakes for you to bring and keep them to eat on the road." ”

"Thank you, grandma."

Saying goodbye to his grandmother, Zhong Yi took Xin Rui's arm and walked out of the door, walked to the side of the road, and Lu Yuchuan stopped a taxi. Zhongyi wanted to send her to the station, but Xin Rui disagreed, and tactfully persuaded her to go back.

Grandma is alone at home, Ruan Ruan hasn't woken up yet, she can't waste time on this, she has to leave someone at home to take care of grandma.

got into the car, Xin Rui rolled down the window, waved his hand vigorously at Zhongyi, and smiled meaningfully: "I'll wait for you to come back~"

That sentence seemed to be what she said to her, and it seemed to convey what someone wanted to say to her.

"Remember to give me a call when you get home." Zhong Yi leaned down slightly and bent his fingers to tap Xin Rui's forehead. The more his eyes looked at her at Xu Huaisheng, who was "closing his eyes and recuperating" on the seat on the right, he paused, and said, "Have a safe journey, see you at school." ”

Xu Huaisheng, who had been leaning on the back of the chair and closing his eyes to recuperate, slowly opened his eyes with unknown meanings, and his eyes that couldn't distinguish emotions gently swept towards Zhong Yi outside the car window, and hooked the corners of his lips.

Xin Rui, who was lying in the car window, shrunk her neck very consciously, shielded the intersection of the two people's eyes, and made more space for the two to "flirt" and be a transparent person.

Every time his emotion-indistinguishable gaze swept lightly towards her, she couldn't help but shudder, and her heart suddenly became flustered as she beat steadily.

Zhong Yi swallowed a mouthful of saliva, licked the corners of his dry mouth, twitched his brain, and said boldly: "Is it okay to borrow me a copy of my winter vacation homework?" I promise to return it on time. ”

Xin Rui, who was buried in being an ostrich, heard her say goodbye and said this, and almost hit her head in the front seat. I kept wailing in my heart: I'm not afraid to work hard to make room for you in the "two-person world", and you actually talked to someone about your winter vacation homework?! Like, where do you put my dedication!!

"Think about it." Xu Huaisheng's voice was low, and a little smile spread from the corner of his lips, and he didn't say more.

The window on the co-pilot was slowly lowered, Lu Yuchuan clenched his fist with one hand and put it to his lips, and coughed dryly: "Ahem, cough, the master is in a hurry, and the idlers are waiting for where to go." ”

Zhong Yi straightened up, glanced at Lu Yuchuan on the co-pilot, and heard that the "idle people" in his mouth was directed at him, and the anger in his eyes grew, and he squeezed out a smile with difficulty: "Lu Yuchuan, I will help you pack your luggage and mail it over!" Don't worry, I won't mess with your belongings. ”

"Master, let's go." Lu Yuchuan smiled helplessly. The windows slowly closed and the car started, leaving only a burst of exhaust fumes in the air.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhong Yi followed Zhong's mother on the Spring Festival train to the small city and returned to the small city.

After several twists and turns along the way, I finally arrived home at one o'clock in the afternoon before my relatives came to visit. Mother Zhong took off her coat and put it on the hanger, her sleeves were rolled up high, and she wore an apron and went directly into the kitchen.

Zhong Yi looked down at the two suitcases next to the shoe cabinet, knowing that Zhong Mu would not be able to get out of the kitchen for a while, so he dragged the suitcase to Zhong Mu's bedroom with one hand, put Zhong Mu's suitcase into her bedroom, and then carried her suitcase upstairs.

The room was still the same as when she left, untouched, with several sets of winter vacation homework on the desk, lying there crookedly, as if waiting for its owner to touch it.

Zhong Yi frowned, pressed his temples with one finger, laid the suitcase flat on the ground, took out his clothes and hung them in the closet.

After all this, Zhong Yi walked out of the room with a ball of quilts, opened the glass door of the balcony, hung the quilt on the escalator, patted the dust on it, and couldn't help but sneeze.

Out of the corner of his eye, he saw An's house next door, the doors and windows were closed, obviously Mr. An and Mrs. An should have not come back from the company, An Shu was in a cram school, and he couldn't come back for a while.

Zhong Yi couldn't say that she was empty for a while, she originally thought that when she came back, she would immediately see An Shu, who had not been seen for a long time, but who knew that she was greeted by cold doors and windows, and she didn't even see half of An Shu's shadow.

Sure enough, the greater the hope, the greater the disappointment.

After basking in the sun for a while, Zhong lazily dragged himself back to the room, pulled out the chair in front of the desk and sat down, took out the pen from the pen holder, and took the winter vacation homework casually.

At two o'clock, the relatives arrived on time, and Zhong's mother walked upstairs, knocked on the door of Zhongyi's room, and smiled elegantly: "Your aunt and your aunt are here, hurry down." ”

As soon as Zhong Mu's voice fell, she just turned around and was about to go downstairs, when Zhong Yi pulled her sleeve, and Zhong Mu looked at her in confusion.

"Mom, can I not go down, there are too many people, I can't remember." Zhong Yi is telling the truth. Every Spring Festival, most of the relatives and friends come from the third to the seventh day of the first year of the new year, some of them have raw faces, and they don't know what to call at all, and the seven aunts and eight aunts love to discuss gossip when they get together, and she doesn't want to be the subject of gossip.

Zhong Mu smiled with relief: "It's okay, you can call it whatever I ask you to call, ask you, you just nod or shake your head, and stay for a few minutes before going up." ”

As soon as I walked to the staircase, there was a burst of laughter in the living room. Zhong Yi had a polite and well-behaved smile on his face, and followed Zhong Mu to the living room, and in an instant, more than a dozen eyes were placed on her, which could be called a radar scan.

Under the leadership of Zhong's mother, Zhong Yi didn't remember the face but accurately called out the elders seated, and when the smile on his face was about to freeze, the aunt on the side took a sip of tea and asked, "Xiaoyi is going to take the college entrance examination this year, right?" ”

"June." Mother Zhong answered.

My aunt said, "It's not been a few months, so the pressure must be great." As parents, you can't take it too lightly, success or failure is the most critical few months. ”

Zhong Mu said: "I don't have to worry about Lao Zhong's learning, she can handle it herself." If we intervene, it will make the child feel bored. ”

The aunt took a bite of the apple and leaned over to join the conversation: "Have you and Lao Zhong chosen Xiaoyi's university well?" It's not something she can decide casually. ”

"We respect her own choice." Mother Zhong curled her lips and smiled, stopped chatting on this topic, picked up the fruit plate in front of her, and put it between her aunt and aunt: "Don't patronize and chat, eat apples." ”

Zhong Yi took advantage of the fact that his aunt and aunt were not looking at her, got up and quietly left the living room, and went upstairs.

He sat back at his desk and frantically made up his homework.

The mobile phone on the desk buzzed and vibrate, the screen lit up, Zhong Yi stopped his pen, glanced at the name of the caller ID, slid his fingers up slightly, and continued to bow his head to review the question.

After three seconds of silence, Xin Rui's voice came from the receiver of the mobile phone: "Back?" What time do you get home? ”

Zhong Yi glanced at the time on his watch, and his hand paused, "A little." Catch the train at four o'clock in the morning. ”

The Spring Festival has a large passenger flow, and the train stops and goes, otherwise it wouldn't be at home.

"Come to my house in the evening, my mother made a sumptuous dinner table to entertain the guests, and asked you to come with it." Xinrui cuts straight to the point.

Zhong Yi put down the pen, leaned back slightly, pushed his eyebrows and said, "Guest? I'm not going to be good. ”

"Actually, it's not a guest, it's just an unknown person I just know." Xin Rui's tone was a little sarcastic, and she couldn't help cursing in a low voice for a while, but she was clearly heard by Zhong Yi on the other end of the phone.

The person who can make her foul-mouthed and has no serious identity, there is no need to guess, she also knows who it is. Zhong Yi leaned back in front of the desk, opened another page of the test paper, roughly glanced at the questions, and used two minds: "I still have a mountain of homework to do, and I may not be able to go to your house for dinner." ”

"Less nonsense, bring the homework together, and I'll help you share the burden. Do you hear me, I have to come tonight! ”

Zhong Yi waited for her words, curled his lips and smiled: "The minister obeys the order." ”

The two chatted for a while before ending the call. Zhong Yi stretched, looked at the remaining half of the unfinished homework, and thought that the vacation time was running out, and he looked desperate.

Is it possible for her to really fight to the end on her homework?
