Since Xiao Lan solved the two big troubles of Father Zhong and Ye Yukai, life has become smoother. The two siblings live a very regular life every day, going to school, getting out of school, eating, sleeping, and rare stability. As soon as the days passed, it was only two months, and autumn came.

At this time, the autumn breeze was not cold enough, the breeze carried a cool gentleness, and the siblings both put on autumn clothes. Since Zhong Nian and Sun Dongquan met again, the two quickly played together, and when Xiao Lan didn't know it, they became hardcore friends, and sometimes the two would call Xiao Lan to go crazy together. Zhong Nian rode his bicycle and took Xiao Lan to the destination he had agreed with Sun Dongquan, the large library in the central district of the city.

There was still about a week before the first model of the third year of high school, and the study became nervous, and Sun Dongquan proposed that the three of them tutor on holidays. Xiao Lan knows that he is inferior to Sun Dongquan in many aspects of exam knowledge, not to mention his knowledge reserves, Sun Dongquan has been a dark horse who has been active in the competition since his sophomore year of high school. The matter of tutoring has more advantages than disadvantages for her, and in order to be admitted to a school with a relatively high ranking, Xiao Lan rarely agrees.

Sun Dongquan arrived early to occupy a seat, but the Zhong sisters and brothers rode back and forth a lot of wrong ways to find here, and the two got down the car and walked into the library to see Sun Dongquan in the most eye-catching place.

"Sorry! We're late," Zhong Nian walked towards Sun Dongquan, touched the back of his head, and looked guilty, "Because I rarely come to this place, I have made many mistakes." ”

"Where have you been? It was an hour and a half late. Sun Dongquan put down the book in his hand and joked with Zhong Nian as usual, and then looked at Xiao Lan again, "I thought that since you came late, I would find a book to pass the time first." ”

Eighty percent of Sun Dongquan's tutoring plan is for Xiao Lan, and in the matter he inquired about, Zhong Ming had suspended classes for a semester before. This semester, she stopped many classes because of family matters, afraid that she would not be able to keep up, and she would fail the exam, so Sun Dongquan specially put forward a suggestion for tutoring.

As soon as the people arrived, after the greetings, Sun Dongquan also recalled his purpose, and said to Xiao Lan: "Let's go and choose the teaching aids first, because I don't know which version of the teaching aids you are used to, and I don't know where your level is, so I didn't take them at will." Since you're here, let's go learn the supplementary books first. ”

"Okay." Xiao Lan nodded, put the schoolbag on his back on the empty chair, and continued, "I don't know much about here, I'm sorry for you." She didn't shirk the other party's help.

Zhong Nian saw that the two of them in the same grade were chatting well, and he was unwilling to be a foil: "What about me?" ”

"The child obediently took his place and waited for us to come back." Sun Dongquan said with a smile, his face changed quickly, and he damaged Zhong Nian again with his words. After finishing speaking, Zhong Nian was left to occupy the seat, and Sun Dongquan took Xiao Lan to the high school teaching and auxiliary area.

There are not many knowledge points in the high school exam, but there are not many publishers who rely on writing high school topic materials and textbooks. Different subjects, different publishers, different editions, different question types, you name it. Xiao Lan didn't know what to choose for a while.

Sun Dongquan obviously took this situation into account, he first took out a thick red textbook from the bookshelf on the left, which mainly contained the training of basic questions in science comprehensiveness, and the questions were all from the real questions of the college entrance examination in various provinces, which was very typical.

"This is a good book, the topic is very pertinent, and the analysis is very detailed." Sun Dongquan handed the teaching aid in his hand to Xiao Lan, "You can borrow it back, or you can read it now." ”

Xiao Lan took Sun Dongquan's book and flipped through it, and felt that it was good, so he took it in his hand, and then Sun Dongquan took a few more books and handed them to Xiao Lan. The only fly in the ointment is that Xiao Lan didn't find the textbook it used to brush the questions before, there are many difficult problems in it that she can't understand, she originally planned to take the problem today, but she forgot to take it home yesterday and put it in the classroom.

Xiao Lan's eyes kept scanning, and finally found it at the height of a bookshelf. Her height is obviously not tall enough, even on tiptoe, and she is still a big difference. In desperation, he jumped up on one foot, but still didn't get it. Sun Dongquan also discovered Xiao Lan's movements and kindly went up to help her get it. His arm stretched over Xiao Lan's head and easily got the book, but the accident happened.

Xiao Lan was very alert, and she would feel uneasy about other people's proximity, and when Sun Dongquan approached, she obviously panicked, knocked out the dry sachet on the door of the bookshelf, and fell backwards when her heel slipped.

Sun Dongquan went up directly, hugged Xiao Lan's waist, and asked her to stand firmly, and the posture of the two suddenly became very awkward.

Even through a coat, Sun Dongquan could still feel the burning sensation emanating from his hand touching Xiao Lan's waist. After Xiao Lan stood firm, Sun Dongquan naturally let go, when nothing happened, but his heartbeat told him again, it was not like that.

After the two returned to the original safe distance, Sun Dongquan touched his nose awkwardly and said, "I can help you get the book in the high place, be careful." Immediately after finishing speaking, he turned around and stopped looking at the other party, and continued to carefully select teaching aids.

Xiao Lan's eyes darkened, making people puzzled. She was not used to Sun Dongquan's touch, or she hated it, but she hid it well. Sun Dongquan would never know that the moment he approached, Xiao Lan had the urge to take out a knife from his pocket and stab someone. This impulse comes from being imprinted in the soul, an instinct to protect oneself and destroy the enemy. Xiao Lan also noticed this primitive impulse and was deliberately suppressed. Xiao Lan's emotions were not revealed at all, they all hid, and they began to concentrate on finding books.

Zhong Nian waited for almost twenty minutes before seeing the two of them walk back slowly. The strange atmosphere of silence between the two Zhong Nian didn't notice that his joining made Sun Dongquan return to his state, the two boys were chatting quietly and hotly, and the girls were concentrating on reading a book next to them. Sun Dongquan looked at Xiao Lan's questions from time to time, and Xiao Lan would ask him questions if he didn't understand, and the atmosphere became harmonious again.

The study continued until the afternoon, and the three of them were ready to leave. Zhong Nian and Xiao Lan still went back by bicycle, while Sun Dongquan went back by bus.

Zhong Nian's sister and brother talked and laughed all the way, but inadvertently, Zhong Nian saw the woman standing at the door of their house waiting at the same time, and the smile on his face instantly froze.

The woman was so familiar, as familiar as a stranger, that he couldn't be mistaken, even if it was just a back. Since he was a child, he abandoned his children and crossed the ocean to leave, leaving behind a word.

Zhong Nian thought that she would come back, and he had been looking forward to it, and after a few years, he was relieved, believing that the other party would not come back, and he had been abandoned by his mother.

Now that she has appeared again, it will only make Zhong Nian feel angry and aggrieved, she wants to say everything, she wants to talk about everything, why did she leave, why didn't she come back...... But now, his words are like goldfish, but they invisibly turn into bubbles and disappear into the water.

Zhong Nian looked at the woman in a daze, not daring to move, for fear that if she moved her steps, her figure would disappear.

Completely different from Zhong Nian, Xiao Lan didn't have much expression except for the surprise that this woman had found any place she had moved to. After all, she is not Zhong Ming, and she can't understand the hard work of being the eldest sister after being abandoned by her mother. But Xiao Lan's intuition was to hate this titular mother, at least when the two looked at each other, she hated it.

In memory, Zhong Nian's mother is named Zhao Qian, and she has no blood relationship with Zhong Ming, Zhong Ming and Zhong Nian are actually half-siblings like Ye Fan and Ye Yukai.

Therefore, Zhao Qian, as a beautiful and delicate woman, exploited Zhong Ming much less than Zhong's father. In her memory, Zhao Qian's husband, who was 30 years older than her, died in an accident in the United States, leaving a large inheritance, and this time she arrived just to take away Zhong Nian's son. As for Zhong Ming? I'm sorry, but where you came from, go wherever you go. Xiao Lan understood that from the very beginning, Zhong Ming's status in this deformed family was the lowest.

Zhao Qian is well maintained, the age is straight to forty, her skin still retains her youthful vitality, and the clothes on her body are expensive, which just sets off her bewitching figure. Her second husband must have given her a privileged material environment.

"Zhong Nian?" Zhao Qian saw Zhong Nian and hurriedly walked in this direction, wanting to give Zhong Nian a hug with her mother's love, but Zhong Nian was dodged sideways, and originally staged a big drama of mother and son recognizing each other, and the scene was embarrassing for a while.

"Zhong Nian, I'm my mother." Zhao Qian sensed his rejection and pointed his chest with the forepalm of his hand, explaining his identity.

Zhong Nian stubbornly didn't do anything, and replied indifferently: "I'm sorry, you recognized the wrong person." ”

Xiao Lan stood on the sidelines and watched this dramatic mother-son recognition, and the result was not bad for her, at least relieved. For this reason, she helped Zhong Nian to relieve the siege and said: "Since it is the wrong person, let's go." ”

Xiao Lan didn't debunk Zhong Nian's lies, although he didn't know why he clearly recognized Zhao Qian, but he didn't know it. She also took the opportunity to help him.

"Zhong Nian, I'm really a mother, have you forgotten?" Zhao Qian unwillingly grabbed Zhong Nian's arm, Zhong Nian couldn't break free because he was holding a bicycle in one hand, so he let her pull it.

Zhong Nian's suppressed anger finally broke out completely, he dragged Zhao Qian away, stared at her face, and said coldly: "My mother died when I was 6 years old. After finishing speaking, he didn't stay long, and entered the house without looking back, and then Xiao Lan also entered the house and closed the door, isolating Zhao Qian's sight.

After Zhong Nian parked the car, the whole person sat in the living room in a daze, motionless. The appearance of the mother who has been separated from him for many years is impossible not to touch his heart, and the years of complaining accumulated from this are also pouring out and cannot be stopped.

On the day Zhao Qian escaped, Zhong Nian was beaten half to death by Zhong's father, but he never knew what happened, and kept shouting his mother in his mouth, if Zhong Ming hadn't bravely knocked Zhong's father unconscious, he would have been beaten to death and later knew that it was Zhao Qian who ran away. Since she was a child, Zhao Qian has given her a lot of help and love, but her mother's love is also profound. It is precisely because of this trust that the despair in my heart is even more endless when I am abandoned.

In the face of Zhong Nian's silence, Xiao Lan didn't say a word. She returned to the window and looked into the distance, Zhao Qian had already driven away, there was no trace of coming, and there was a business card on the bed rail, which also said that this incident had indeed happened.

Zhong Nian's mother came back and wanted to pick Zhong Nian away. At the same time, it also indicates that Zhong Ming's original life will end soon, but Xiao Lan is still at a loss for the task.
