Even if the mother died, the father and son thought each other, and the father's alcoholic and violent nature did not change. In fact, my father's job is quite good, a municipal government employee, working in the construction of the demolition port. The family lives in a spacious three-bedroom apartment, and his father is also happy to give Chen Zhao money. But the little children are becoming more and more silent, often going alone, going out alone to buy food, buy homework books, and learn to buy clothes at the stall at a young age to wear them.

Chen Zhaoci is like an invisible person at home. Especially when my father came back drunk, he would close the door of his room tightly and huddle in the corner to read. Even so, sometimes my father would break in and give him a beating.

Chen Zhaoci's grades since he was a child have not been good or bad, but he is definitely a good child in the eyes of the teacher. Study seriously, work diligently, listen to everything the teacher says, and be sensible since childhood. If there are any difficulties in classmates, he will also help, and he is very careful. It's not a popular figure, but it's also something that everyone doesn't hate.

When I was seven years old, my father found another one. At first, they didn't get a license, and the two often fooled around at home. The woman was also a drunkard, greedy for money, and vain, and quite shameless. Father is often drunk, sometimes Chen Zhao came back from school and bumped into him, and the two were not ashamed, and his father only scolded: "Get in!" Then she continued to toss, but the woman just covered herself with a quilt, and then brushed her hair with all kinds of amorous feelings, in Chen Zhaoci's eyes, it seemed like showing off, and it was like an obscene seduction.

When Chen Zhao quit junior high school, he had very little time to stay at home. The father didn't care, he and the woman got the certificate, and the woman was pregnant. For parents who love themselves far more than their children, a not very good son left by a wooden and ex-wife, although there is occasional regret in his heart, is always superfluous. My father even sometimes felt in his heart that his ex-wife died early and well, otherwise how could he meet such a like-minded and amorous woman now.

But I never thought that my wife would accompany you through thick and thin and save the down payment for this unit together. Later, he loved to have fun more than his family, and he was looking at this house that was increasing in value, as well as the status of a man who worked in the government. How much pillow wind blew, so the man became more and more unkind to see the "weird-looking eldest son".

But Chen Zhaoci can see all this clearly. He read a lot of books during many of his solitary days. Read history, read politics, read sociology. I also read psychology and economics. He may not be able to read everything, and perhaps he has read too many extracurricular books, so he can only take the college entrance examination to three Huaicheng University. But his heart is full, he wants to be different from his father's life, and he wants to make a big difference.

Huaicheng is located in the main road of Xiangxi, which has fought the Japanese devils, fought for the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, and suppressed bandits after the founding of the People's Republic of China. There are a total of 19 air-raid shelters and secret passages left behind by the war. Of course, with the continuous advancement of urban economic construction, there are still old and disrepaired and collapsed, and now they can still be found and used, but there are only eight places. All of this, Chen Zhaoci had seen on the documents brought back by his father. He was also very interested in the war legends, and he had seen each of those eight places. It's almost as familiar as my own backyard since I was a child. Since he was a child, he has been a child who is willing to hide secrets and hide his thoughts, and those tunnels are his secret gardens in this huge city, which belong to him alone.

After entering the university, Chen Zhaoci's impression on everyone was no different from that of middle school. Wooden, shy, and kind, you won't like him much, but you definitely won't be defensive about him. In addition, years of reading have made him more bookish. He is hardly good at getting along with girls, and he doesn't know how to please people, and when he meets someone who is interested in him, he often only retreats. So always single.

It wasn't until his junior year that he met Zhu Xinya, a freshman at the neighboring school.

Zhu Xinya is studying at a college of finance and economics, and the ratio of men to women is 1 to 9. It is said that the girls in Huaicheng are much more beautiful and bold. There are often all kinds of social vehicles parked in front of the school. In contrast, the female students of Huaicheng University are somewhat disgraced.

Chen Zhaoci didn't know how he provoked Zhu Xinya. He is just a work-study student and has been to the financial college a few times. The girl followed him. Zhu Xinya and him are completely different people, petite but delicate figure, always wearing gorgeous makeup that does not match their age, their grades are a mess, friends are all over the world, and a smile is very loud "Hahaha-" She fell in love with this beautiful scholar at first sight, and was determined to catch up with him.

At first, Chen Zhaoci also blindly hid. She is very resilient, delivering breakfast in the morning and walking downstairs in the boys' dormitory at night, attracting countless male whistles. And she brushed her hair, proud and arrogant, but whistled at Chen Zhaoci's dormitory window.

The roommates all joked, but Chen Zhaoci just frowned: "I don't like such girls." ”

Chen Zhaoci thought that she would not be able to stop in a short time. Who knew that a month had passed, and she had stopped. After all, it's a girl, and you can't always lose face downstairs in the boys' dormitory. But the text messages and phone calls never stopped.

In the morning, he said: "Zhao Ci, there is a high math class today, I really don't want to go to it." Do not understand. ”

At noon: "I only ate one or two meals for lunch, and I want to lose weight." Half an inch fatter in the waist. ”

In the evening: "Zhao Ci, miss me." But don't think about the yellow lens! "Comes with a selfie.

Early the next morning, Chen Zhaoci washed the sheets with a black face.

When did the two really start? It should have been three months later that morning, Zhu Xinya had a severe cold, and she didn't go to class for a few days, and she didn't even have the strength to send text messages to harass Chen Zhaoci. So when Chen Zhaoci appeared in their dormitory carrying a hot water bottle, he almost shocked everyone's jaws.

Zhu Xinya pointed at him weakly: "You...... You ......"

Chen Zhaoci blushed, but his tone was stiff: "Drink more hot water, drink porridge, don't eat spicy food." Rest well. ”

……

Later, in the eyes of outsiders, the relationship between these two people seemed to have dropped.

Every morning, downstairs in the dormitory for female students of the financial college, there is an inconspicuous quiet figure. He began to bring her breakfast, pick her up and drop her off class, and go to the cafeteria to eat together, and the two were inseparable. Most of what I saw was Zhu Xinya like a triumphant little fox, cocking her high tail, holding Chen Zhaoci's hand every day, swaggering through the market.

In this regard, most people believe that the two personalities are too different. And Zhu Xinya Although this time the love is vigorous, changing her boyfriend before is like changing clothes, either rich or expensive. People who are used to eating big fish and meat, can they eat small cabbage every day?

But what they didn't see was that under the moon before the flowers, in the middle of the night, the boy was holding the girl, grinding his ears and temples, muttering, and both of them could not hold themselves.
