Time seemed to be silent, Xiao Shijie was so soft that the words seemed to be muttering through Su Wen's eardrums, and the aftermath in her head was curling, but the words that could not be hovered were he, he needs you.

He, need me?

Su Wen's eyes widened in shock, but he was born to be slow to react, and when the reflex arc conveyed his brain, he looked at Xiao Shijie in surprise and wanted to ask what was going on, but Xiao Shijie looked at the road ahead with an indifferent expression as if she had never spoken. Su Wen opened his mouth, but in the end, he still didn't ask the doubts in his heart, but he couldn't help but feel an inexplicable joy in his chest.

From the mouths of others, especially from Xiao Shijie, who is familiar with boys, hearing the words "he may need you" is a hundred times more real than hoping in his heart that "he may need his own comfort".

"Shijie, are we going to the activity room?" Following Xiao Shijie out of the teaching building and turning around to the only way leading to the student activity building, Su Wen couldn't help but ask suspiciously.

"Well," Xiao Shijie stared at the tall building in front of her, a worried look in her eyes, "He's there." ”

Not "he could be there" or "he must be there", but a declarative sentence without a doubt, "he was there".

Su Wen looked at the student activity building that was getting closer and closer, and the figure of her and Song Yu walking side by side through the activity building countless times came to mind, and the memory of being side by side so many times was finally no match for the girl's sentence "He was there".

"Every time he's unhappy, he always comes to play the piano." Xiao Shijie glanced at Su Wen, her deep gaze was a little obscure.

It turned out that she didn't know that every time he was unhappy, he always had to come to play the piano. Thinking that she had spent enough time with boys, she thought that she was familiar and understood to a certain extent, and Su Wen was surprised that she was unfamiliar with the other side of him that she had learned from her mouth. Suddenly, she also found out that she didn't know him. There are other people who know him, and there are other people who live with him day and night.

Before stepping onto the third floor of the activity room, the sound of a piano could be heard in the stairwell.

He, sure enough, was there.

The sound of the piano is different from the melodious and tactful performance of "Canon" by Xiao Shijie and Song Yu that day, giving people a sense of pleasure in body and mind. At this time, the sound of the piano was rapid and agitated, and the listener couldn't help but feel nervous as if the strings were tight, and the atmosphere did not dare to come out, and the whole body was tense, and even breathless.

Xiao Shijie walked around the door of the music activity room twice, and finally calmed down, "Let's wait outside, he's too emotional now!" ”

Su Wen looked at the closed piano room, his brows furrowed, worried, "Then what should I do?" Will he soothe his mood by locking himself in the piano room and playing the piano blindly? ”

"At the moment we have nothing else to do but wait for him to calm down. On his mother's issue, Song Yu is actually very stubborn. Xiao Shijie seemed to be in deep thought, the focus of her eyes had blurred, and she muttered to herself: "It's been a long time since I've seen him so emotional......

Xiao Shijie recalled that for the first time since she met Song Yu, he lost control of his emotions. It was the autumn day of the first grade of junior high school, and at the parent-teacher meeting after the midterm exam, the position that belonged to Song Yu's parents was empty.

The head teacher of the junior high school was aware of Song Yu's family situation, but he also asked half-understandingly: "What about your father?" What about your mother? Why didn't anyone come to the parent-teacher conference? ”

The stubborn boy frowned, polite but also nonchalant: "Teacher, I don't know." ”

"Why don't you know your parents? At the first parent-teacher conference, parents should at least show up, right? Even if something can't come, you have to make a phone call! The head teacher's eyes widened in surprise, puzzled but puzzled.

Under the "entanglement" of many parents, the head teacher is very upset, but he also cares about the situation of students with special families. As everyone knows, the thin boy opposite did not inform his father about the parent-teacher meeting at all, but said stubbornly: "Dad is too busy to come!" ”

The head teacher was shocked, "You kid! I think you're usually quite law-abiding, why did you end up with the teacher? ”

"Teacher, I didn't talk to you, my dad really can't come because of something, please understand, teacher!" The boy had a stuffy face and a boyish look.

"What's the matter? More important than your child's learning? Dad can't come when something happens, Mom always has time, right? You told mom no? The head teacher still asked unrelentingly.

"No," touching on the topic of mother, Song Yu, who was in junior high school, held back his anger and said in one go: "I don't have a mother." ”

As soon as these rebellious words came out, the head teacher became more and more anxious, "Song Yu, you can't say that, the teacher knows the situation at home, so I hope to communicate with your parents well, but why don't you come here?" ”

The boy had a calm face, "Teacher, you don't need to communicate with them. ”

"You are still young and ignorant, but your parents should understand, the healthy growth of children is crucial!" The head teacher said bitterly.

"Teacher, I'm healthy! You don't need to communicate anything with my parents. ”

The head teacher was anxious, "The teacher knows that you are healthy, but you still have to let your parents come to the parent-teacher conference!" ”

After a conversation, the question of why Song Yu's parents did not attend the parent-teacher meeting was still not resolved, and after the head teacher shook his head and sighed and left, a male classmate who was a good student joked to Song Yu and said, "It turns out that you are a child without a mother!" It's so pitiful! ”

……

The students who had just been promoted from the sixth grade of primary school to junior high school were inevitably childish, and they couldn't tell what jokes and injuries were. Seeing that the classmates around him were all accompanied by his parents, Song Yu didn't say a word, and went to the music classroom to play the piano alone! When I was in junior high school, this news was really fresh among the student body.

As a result, the fact that Song Yu did not have a mother gradually spread in her class, and Xiao Shijie also remembered Song Yu's abnormality that time.

was unhappy and hid from digesting alone, in this regard, Xiao Shijie and Song Yu coincided. Every time he was unhappy, he always had to play the piano. Xiao Shijie couldn't say why she knew so much about his habits.

His mother ...... And his dad...... Divorced? Su Wen stared at the crimson wooden door of the piano room and asked hesitantly.

“…… Well, as you can see, they weren't together for a long time. Xiao Shijie sighed, "It's been many, many years since Auntie left Song Yu, and today is the first time I have seen his mother......

The long-standing conjecture was finally positively confirmed, and Su Wen still couldn't help but feel atrial fibrillation, "I really can't imagine it, I thought that his family should be very happy......"

A bitter smile appeared on the corner of Xiao Shijie's mouth, "There is nothing that cannot be imagined, some people are smiling every day, and they are not necessarily really happy and happy......"

As Song Yu said, his smile is just his own mask?

Just when Su Wen was in a daze, the sound of the piano from the piano room eased, and Xiao Shijie said in surprise: "Eh, the sound of the piano is weak!" ”

"Song Yu! Song Yu! I'm Xiao Shijie! Can you open the door? Xiao Shijie knocked on the crimson wooden door and shouted loudly into the door: "Come out quickly!" We're all worried about you! ”

The piano paused for a few seconds, then began again. The long and rapid sound of the piano seemed to reflect the indignation of the player at the moment.

"Song Yu, open the door! Don't lock yourself in the house alone, okay? We're all worried about you! Something to talk about! Su Wen also tapped on the door, his voice full of worry and anxiety.

With his usual understanding of him, a person with a warm smile would definitely not be unable to think about it, but after learning about Song Yu's past experience, Su Wen no longer dared to assert it. A person with a warm smile does not mean that he is smooth sailing and does not know the hardships of life, anyone who has experienced the pain of being abandoned by his mother for many years will inevitably have negative emotions, and Song Yu, who is optimistic and upward on weekdays, is no exception.

Just when Su Wen thought that the boys were going to ignore them at all, the wooden door of the piano room creaked open, and the boy in the school uniform suit appeared in front of the door with a calm face.

Su Wen opened his eyes wide and looked at Song Yu who was haggard in front of him, those eyes that were always full of smiles at all times, were full of red blood at this time, and they were so cold that it was distressing. Exhaustion and sadness filled those deep eyes, the corners of the boy's lips were pursed, and the resolute facial lines revealed a strange alienation.

"Senior brother, you can open the door!" Xiao Shijie smiled and stepped forward to look into the boy's eyes, "We're all worried about you." ”

"Don't worry." After a while, the boy finally spoke, his cold voice unusually clear, "I just want to be alone and quiet." ”

"Go back to class." The boy turned around, leaving only a grim side face and a tired back.

The boy turned around and wanted to close the door with lightning speed, but Su Wen was able to block the crack between the doors with his hands, and shouted anxiously: "Hey, don't shut yourself up alone!" ”

The moment the wooden door hit the back of his hand, Su Wen made a slight sound in pain, and he took two breaths of cold air but bit his lip.

"I'm sorry..."Song Yu turned around nervously, staring at the back of Su Wen's hand that was stuck by the door and frowned, "Are you okay?" ”

"Don't hold your unhappiness in your heart, you can talk to me... We say! Su Wen's hand that was stuck in the door was still on the door, and his eyes were full of sincere worry when he looked at Song Yu.

"Well," the boy stared at the girl, the coldness in his voice softened slightly, as calm as usual, "I'm really fine, you guys go back to class first, I just want to be alone and quiet, don't worry." ”

Since Song Yu replied like this, Su Wen and Xiao Shijie were not bothered and retreated to the corridor. The clatter of small leather shoes caught their attention, and in the distance they saw a girl in school uniform running towards the innermost end of the piano room.

The girl ran through the dark-shrouded section of the corridor, the shadow gradually faded from the girl's face, and a bright and flamboyant face appeared in front of Su Wen and Xiao Shijie, and her fair cheeks were flushed from running. Seeing the two of them, the girl's eyes widened in surprise with a snort.

It's Xia Yan, Xia Yan who had a relationship with Su Wen in the north building of the teaching building.

is a neighbor with Song Yu, a childhood sweetheart, Xia Yan.
