"What! If you don't go, what should I do? Su Qi stood at the school gate angrily with his mobile phone and shouted to the person on the other end of the phone.

Originally, he said that he would go together, but when it came to the appointed time, he was the only one left, Meng Zhuoran and they didn't go, even Gu Shen didn't go at any time, Lu Yueran didn't go to see Gu Shen, of course he didn't go, he was alone, standing at the school gate in the early morning shivering in the cold wind.

"Then you might as well say it in advance!" Su Qi roared at Meng Zhuoran on the other end of the phone.

"Didn't that tell you? I'll treat you to a movie when I go back, okay? ”

Su Qi seemed to have finally heard a satisfactory answer, so he reluctantly agreed.

An Nian and the others got into the car back to Yangcheng early, and An Nian, who was already asleep, was woken up by the sound of Meng Zhuoran answering the phone, only then did he know that Gu Shen was not going either, but it was really funny to think of Su Qi's "pitiful" appearance at the school gate alone.

The scenery outside the car window kept changing, and after a while, only large areas of bare land remained, and this year's winter was very cold, dry and cold without snow. An Nian looked at the scenery outside the window, thought of Xiu Yu, and thought of what he said to himself on the phone last night.

In An Nian's memory, Xiu Yu has always been a gentle and elegant person, and he has never seen him angry in the three years of junior high school, and he seems to be so gentle to everyone.

An Nian always felt that he must live in a very happy family, so he could cultivate such a gentle temperament.

It's just that on the phone last night, Xiu Yu's voice was hoarse, and his tone revealed tiredness, which made people feel distressed to hear, it turned out that he was never what he thought.

After four hours, it finally arrived.

"My waist is broken when I sit! It's still good outside air! Out of the station, Meng Zhuoran stretched and took a deep breath, and it happened that a car passed in front of him, and he was so smoked by a mouthful of exhaust that he coughed for a long time. An Nian and Xia Chufan laughed in tears.

"The air quality here is terrible!" Meng Zhuoran coughed and complained. An Nian and Xia Chufan looked at him with a laugh, "Is the fresh air good?" ”

Several people fought for a while, and An Nian invited Meng Zhuoran and Xia Chufan to their small restaurant.

Meng Zhuoran stood strangely at the signboard at the door, "It's rare to be idle!" You guys got the name of the store hastily enough. ”

An Nian pulled the door and shouted to him, "Come in, you're not too cold!" ”

An's mother thought that the guests were coming, so she hurriedly came out of the cashier to greet her, and when she saw An Nian, who came in lastly, An's mother smiled on her face.

"Niannian? How did you get back? Are these two of your classmates? An Nian greeted Xia Chufan and Meng Zhuoran while asking An Nian.

An Nian nodded. An's mother had already seen Xia Chufan at the parent-teacher meeting, and she almost saw her as a boy at the beginning, and almost thought that An Nian was in early love. The fact is that An Nian does have a favorite object, but it is not her.

An's mother thinks that An Nian finally entered a key high school, but she can't delay her studies because of early love, so she has more eyes for the boys around An Nian.

"Auntie, my name is Meng Zhuoran." Meng Zhuoran obediently introduced to Mother An.

An's mother looked at Meng Zhuoran, thin and weak, slightly taller than An Nian, with her understanding of her daughter, it shouldn't be An Nian's favorite type, now that the alarm has been lifted, An's mother said: "Zhuoran? That's a great name! Look at these little glasses, you look like a good child! ”

Meng Zhuoran always felt that Mother An's words didn't sound right, but she didn't know what was wrong.

An Nian couldn't listen anymore, she had already guessed her mother's thoughts, and said helplessly to An's mother: "Mom~"

An's mother glanced at An Nian with a look of "I know", and said to Meng Zhuoran and Xia Chufan: "You haven't eaten, Auntie will go to the back kitchen to cook a few dishes for you!" Before leaving, he asked An Nian to settle the bill for the remaining tables of guests.

After An's mother entered the kitchen, after a while, An's father came out, greeted Meng Zhuoran and Xia Chufan warmly, and finally said to An Nian dotingly: "Come back this time Dad will make you something to eat!" ”

An Nian nodded happily. Thinking that since he was a child, An's father has always been very doting on himself, almost holding it in his hand for fear of falling off, and holding it in his mouth for fear of melting, in comparison, An's mother is more rational. plus an older brother, although he loved to quarrel with himself when he was a child, he also spoiled himself when he grew up.

An Nian was immersed in the joy of meeting his family, and did not notice the strange look on Xia Chufan's face. After a long time, An Nian finally understood that the reason why she and Xia Chufan became like that was because she took her good to herself too seriously.

When it was time for lunch, An's father and An's mother sat down with them and chatted a lot, Meng Zhuoran had a sweet mouth, and she coaxed An's mother so much that she couldn't close her mouth during a meal.

Father An asked them the reason for returning to Yangcheng, and learned that their purpose was to see Xiu Yu, and very much agreed with their behavior of caring for their classmates, and approved of them with both hands, but when they went out in the afternoon, Mother An still gave an order to come back before nine o'clock in the evening.

An Nian originally just wanted to call and ask Xiu Yu for the address of his house, but as soon as Xiu Yu heard that they were all here, he had to come out to pick them up.

An Nian and his entourage took a taxi to the address given by Xiu Yu, and as soon as they got out of the car, they saw Xiu Yu standing in the community waiting, but this kind of Xiu Yu was the first time they had seen it.

Xiu Yu was wearing a black down jacket, his hair was messy, and the stubble on his chin could be faintly seen. An Nian suspected that she had seen it wrong, how could this be the Xiu Yu she knew.

An Nian looked at Xiu Yu in front of him in disbelief, "What's wrong with you?" How to ......"

Xiu Yu smiled bitterly, and looked past An Nian to Meng Zhuoran and Xia Chufan behind her, "Why are you here?" ”

Meng Zhuoran stepped forward and touched Xiu Yu's shoulder, "Come and see if you can't do it!" Then, he took a step back, looked at it carefully, and said, "Brother, how are you doing these days?" ”

"Come home and talk about it, it's too cold outside." Xiu Yu turned around and led them into the community.

Entering Xiu Yu's house, An Nian was even more unbelievable. The house was big and gorgeously decorated, but she always felt that something was missing.

Taking advantage of Xiu Yu's time between pouring water for them in the kitchen, An Nian looked around and found that what this house lacked was fireworks, obviously, no one had lived here for a long time.

An Nian couldn't help but think: Since junior high school, every parent-teacher meeting, Xiu Yu's mother has attended, and she has never seen Xiu Yu's father, even if she was in the gallery last time, she has not seen it.

Xia Chufan walked around the room, returned to the sofa, and whispered to An Nian: "Why is there no one in their house!" This house is too deserted! ”

Xiu Yu just came back from pouring water, considering Xiu Yu's feelings, An Nian shook her head at Xia Chufan and motioned for her not to ask Xiu Yu. It's just that someone has already asked for her, Meng Zhuoran looked around and felt that this house was really deserted and strange.

Meng Zhuoran picked up the cup and looked at Xiu Yu on the opposite side of the coffee table, "Your house is too deserted, right, what about your parents?" ”

When mentioning his parents, Xiu Yu frowned slightly.

It turned out that Xiu Yu's father died just last week. The house where they stayed was no longer inhabited since Xiu Yu's father was sick, and it was only recently that he was busy with the funeral and started to live again.

After listening to Xiu Yu's words, An Nian and the three of them were silent, not knowing how to comfort Xiu Yu. It was Xiu Yu, who obviously looked tired, but he still cheered up and joked with them: "I didn't expect you to come to see me, I'm really moved!" ”

An Nian and Xia Chufan didn't speak, and Meng Zhuoran smiled stiffly, "Everyone...... They're all good friends! ”

Xiu Yu still smiled bitterly. In An Nian's eyes, Xiu Yu's eyes were not only tired, but also endlessly sad.

This kind of Xiu Yu should not want them to see it, but he still treats them in a seemingly relaxed state, he must have made a lot of determination!

An Nian suddenly didn't want to stay any longer, and the sadness in Xiu Yu's eyes made her feel uncomfortable. In the end, An Nian took Meng Zhuoran and they left, and Xiu Yu didn't keep them when they left, An Nian gave Xiu Yu a hug and didn't speak.

That night, Xia Chufan and Meng Zhuoran stayed at An Nian's house, and they learned from Xiu Yu that the funeral was scheduled for Sunday, that is, tomorrow.

Xia Chufan and An Nian slept together, Meng Zhuoran lived alone in the guest room, An Nian tossed and turned in the middle of the night, and finally made a decision to attend the funeral.

Early the next morning, An Nian got up early to clean up, of course, Xia Chufan and Meng Zhuoran wanted to go with her. According to An's mother's meaning, it was unlucky for their three children to attend the funeral, but because Xia Chufan was there, An's mother was not too embarrassed, but just told them some precautions.

In the cemetery, there was a group of people dressed in black, they were men and women, old and young, Xiu Yu stood at the front, and beside him stood a woman who couldn't cry.

An Nian looked at Xiu Yu's back, and felt like a lot of majesty for a moment, from now on, he was half of the sky in the family. Throughout the funeral, Xiu Yu did not shed tears.

After the funeral, some of his elders reprimanded him for being ignorant, and Xiu Yu had a white face. An Nian looked at Xiu Yu and thought, his tears should have dried up in those nights that he couldn't sleep for a long time. Xiu Yu saw them standing at the end of the condolence line and nodded at them.

After the funeral, An Nian never saw Xiu Yu again. Because they had to go to self-study at night, they had to go back to school, so they had to send a message to Xiu Yu before leaving.

Xiu Yu, who was busy with everything, looked at the message sent to him by An Nian in a daze: No matter what happens, sister's shoulders are your most solid support.

He remembered the scene when he first saw An Nian, when his father had just been diagnosed with lung cancer, half of the family had collapsed, and he had been depressed.

After the start of junior high school, he was reluctant to communicate and talk to others, An Nian sat down with him at the same table and teased him vigorously, until he saw him smile.

This is also the reason why Xiu Yu is so excited about An Nian, she can always warm others like the sun.

On the way back to school, An Nian kept thinking: Xiu Yu has experienced such a thing, and he must be kind to Xiu Yu in the future. Just thinking about it, Gu Shen's news came: Are you back at school?

Seeing Gu Shen's news, An Nian's mind unconsciously appeared Gu Shen's smile, and he always felt that his smile could dissolve all the sorrow and sadness in the world.

So he replied: Not yet!

Gu Shen sent her another message: I'll look for you when I come back, I have something for you.

An Nian thought: It won't be another set of "Five-Year College Entrance Examination Three-year Simulation"! Then I thought that since I said it was a gift, it should be called a gift! She was still looking forward to it, and she sighed in the window and wrote: "Do it and cherish it."
