It was an old and dilapidated building with falling bricks and tiles, and if you put a ruler next to the corner of the wall, the vertical no longer exists.

The fifth-floor window opened wide, revealing the face of a middle-aged woman, her dark red, curly hair growing in a mess on her head.

She was impatiently drying her laundry, muttering all the time.

She retracted her head and entered the house, standing in front of the bathroom doorway, and asked the girl who was teasing the rabbit, "Why didn't you tell me I was going to have a parent-teacher conference?" ”

This woman is Zhao Ziyu's stepmother, so let's call her Zhao's mother.

Zhao's mother is notoriously loud and loud, which is why Zhao Ziyu hid from the parent-teacher conference, she didn't want others to know that she had such a mother, let alone Huo Jingyu.

She hates this home, and she hates squeezing a bed with her younger brother even more, and the only thing she is satisfied with is the one-meter-wide-wide window in front of her.

There are no high-rise buildings to be seen, no hustle and bustle, only a green landscape and a small river in the city.

Zhao's mother grabbed Zhao Ziyu's collar and dragged someone over with a chair, "If Yuanyuan's mother hadn't asked me to go with her, I would have been kept in the dark by you." ”

"You let go!" Zhao Ziyu's hair was draped, and she directly ripped off several strands.

"Where's the rabbit? You bought it? Mother Zhao stretched out her hand, and the little thing that was quiet in her arms fell to the ground.

"Ahh Zhao Ziyu wanted to pick it up, but was dragged to the living room by Zhao's mother and thrown on the sofa. Zhao Zirui, who was playing a game, was shocked and got up to avoid this disaster.

"Where are you going? Kneel for me! It's all high school, who did you learn to play games with, don't you want to read anymore? Zhao's mother snatched Zhao Zirui's mobile phone, "The mobile phone is confiscated, and you will return it to you when you are admitted to university." ”

Zhao Zirui reluctantly knelt on the ground, and unwillingly pulled his sister to kneel.

"Think about it, what skills can you make a fortune, what do you learn one by two? Are you going to farm after graduation? Can you get a clear share of the dishes? Why are you so unproductive, it's really inherited from your father, it's all like that! ”

The siblings, who had been kneeling on the ground impatiently, were angry when they heard her say this about their father:

"You're not qualified to talk about him!"

"Why do you say my dad!"

Mother Zhao sneered, "Yo, a mother's womb is different, you really don't know who to go with." Your mother is not a good thing, hooking up with men all day long, no, I can't stand it anymore, it's split! ”

"Ahh I'll kill you! Zhao Ziyu picked up the iron stool and threw it straight to Zhao's mother, and Zhao Zirui, who was kneeling on the side, hurriedly pulled it, so that he didn't hurt anyone, and the foot of the stool bent and fell to the side.

Mother Zhao was so angry that the horizontal flesh on her face trembled, "Okay! The bird grows bigger, and the courage grows with it! She strode to the balcony and pulled a feather duster out of the large cardboard box, "You want to fight, don't you?" Come on! Come here! ”

"Hit, hit, come!" Zhao Ziyu picked up the vase on the coffee table, pulled out the flower and threw it on the ground, and was about to smash it when he lifted it.

"Sister!" Zhao Zirui was so anxious that he stopped and hugged her, "Sister, we are cultural people, use what we say!" ”

Zhao Ziyu kicked him away, "You go away!" Don't get in my way! ”

Mother Zhao didn't seem to think that the matter was big enough, "Don't forget, your father was killed by you!" Would he have died without you?! ”

There was a dead silence in the air.

Zhao Ziyu held the vase with both hands, her eyes as big as copper bells stared at Zhao's mother, and she picked up the scattered flower branches on the ground.

Mother Zhao smiled arrogantly, and looked annoyed with a dozen wrinkles in the corners of her eyes, "What's the matter?" Aren't you going to kill me?! Seeing that she didn't reply, she waved the feather duster in her hand and continued: "You eat me and use mine, and you still live here with a dead face, I advise you to study hard for me, so that I won't be able to pay it back in the future!" ”

Zhao Ziyu's mood was quite stable after hearing this, and he restrained himself, "That's my dad's money, my dad's house, not yours." ”

"Legally, these are already mine."

Zhao Zirui couldn't listen to it anymore, and stood up abruptly and said, "That's because you don't know what obscene means you used!" ”

"I'm not as obscene as your mother!"

Zhao Ziyu had a chill in his eyes, "Sooner or later, you will regret this sentence." ”

Mother Zhao didn't think so, bared her teeth and said, "Then I want to see how I regret it." ”

As soon as the door closed, Zhao Zirui leaned back, leaning on the sofa and feeling relieved, this war was over, but when he thought that his mobile phone was gone, he was unwilling, and yelled at Zhao Ziyu: "You pay me for my mobile phone!" ”

Zhao Ziyu ignored him and went back to the room to continue teasing her baby rabbit.

"You can't put the rabbit on the balcony, its poop stinks!" Zhao Zirui shouted while lying on the sofa.

"No matter how stinky it is, it can't stink like your socks!" Zhao Ziyu walked out with her little cutie in her arms, her face full of love.

"You said that you didn't tell her about the parent-teacher conference, isn't this a deliberate attempt to find trouble?" Zhao Zirui was puzzled.

Zhao Ziyu snorted coldly, "Why tell her, it's embarrassing." ”

"She didn't go to parent-teacher conferences before."

"It's different now." Zhao Ziyu touched the rabbit, shook his shoulders, and raised a happy smile.

"My phone is gone, how can I live!" Zhao Zirui kicked his legs unwillingly.

"Aren't you almost your birthday? Wouldn't it be nice to let your rich classmates buy it for you. Zhao Ziyu took out a small carrot from the kitchen and gave it to the rabbit to gnaw, and the crooked mouth was particularly cute.

"Everyone is a student, who will give me a mobile phone?!" Zhao Zirui glanced at her and said something unreliable.

Wrong!

A sword-eyed face flashed, Zhao Zirui sat up straight suddenly, grinning and boasting: "Sister, you are really a genius!" ”

KTV，

A place that Lin Weihe will never set foot in for the rest of his life.

But today she came.

She walked through the American-style country-style lobby, to the Southeast Asian-style walkway surrounded by vines, and finally into the large private room with a futuristic theme of space.

There is no dirty mess here as Lin Zhinan said, and there are big anti-drug and anti-smoking slogans in the private rooms.

Li Yi is very good at eating, the dishes he ordered are full of color and fragrance, and he also ordered a non-spicy side dish for Lin Weihe.

Chen Jiajia is a girl in the next class, sitting next to Liao Qin, and it can be seen that she likes him. It's a pity that Liao Qin stared at his mobile phone all the way, only talking to boys, and he just talked a few more words to Chen Hewei, a girl.

Zhao Zirui, the birthday star, raised his drink and said, "Happy birthday to everyone!" ”

"It's to wish me a happy birthday, I won't say anything." Chen He raised his glass after a slight scolding.

Lin Weihe also raised his glass.

Zhao Zirui was happy today, looked at Lin Weihe and said, "Weihe, you have a song!" I heard that you sing well, please sing a song for me to celebrate. ”

Chen Hewei walked to the singing platform, "Yes, what do you sing, I'll help you order." ”

Lin Weihe was a little hesitant, she didn't listen to many songs, most of them were old songs, "I can only sing old songs." ”

"We also sing old songs!" Lee handed her the microphone.

"Then order one of your favorites."

"Good!" Chen Hewei picked a classic track for her.

A gentle prelude sounds, and the melodic is moving.

Lin Weihe sat on the sofa and held the microphone, looked at the prompts on the screen, and spoke slowly in a low voice.

Her voice is on the sweet side, and this song is too mature for her, but it doesn't affect everyone from immersing themselves in her singing. Even Liao Qin, who was playing with his mobile phone with his head down, raised his head and looked at her a few times.

One song is over.

"Listen so well!" Chen Hewei proudly took the lead in applauding.

Lin Weihe put down the microphone embarrassedly and was snatched away by Li Yi: "I sing well, but it's not interesting to be so good all the time!" He ordered a birthday song himself.

The meaning is good, but the process is painful, and the whole song ends with a shout, which makes everyone laugh.

Chen Jiajia also wanted to sing a song to attract Liao Qin's attention, so he ordered a particularly difficult song. The place of the chorus really caught his attention, because not everyone can break their voices with a shaking voice.

Everyone's eardrums were forcibly invaded by her singing, and they all resisted the urge to cut the song, but the song was still cut, from Liao Qin's hand.

"It's too noisy, my ears hurt."

Chen Jiajia was a little aggrieved, sat down and stayed quietly aside.

The person was brought by Chen Hewei, she couldn't bear it, and said: "This song is too difficult, we can't sing it, you can sing a little fresh and it's very good." ”

She said this to Chen Jiajia a little more comfortable.

At this time, the waiter came up with a large cake.

Zhao Zirui spread his hands, "The cake is here, today's focus, the gift is handed over quickly!" ”

"Are you in such a hurry, you haven't even planted a candle." Li Yi said.

Zhao Zirui waved his hand: "These are all going through the motions, don't do this." ”

Chen Jiajia took the lead in taking out the gift, a small box that was well wrapped, "Happy birthday!" ”

"Thank you, thank you!" Zhao Zirui immediately disassembled it, it was a mini Bluetooth headset, and he said with a smile: "Then no one will find out that I listen to songs after my self-study last night!" ”

Chen Hewei gave a roll of his eyes on the spot, "You are not present as my squad leader!" ”

"Hahahaha!" Li Yi's laughter was deafening, and he also took out his gift and gave it to him naked without wrapping it.

A cool mobile phone case that can be hung around the neck, Zhao Zirui immediately hung it around his neck, although his mobile phone is gone, but he is still very grateful.

Zhao Zirui's eyes stopped at Liao Qin, Liao Qin understood, slowly took out his wallet, took out the documents, threw them on him, and said, "That's it, I'll pay today." ”

Zhao Zirui looked at his wallet, "No, it's so perfunctory to me." ”

"You suddenly asked me to come, where can I find you a gift? If you don't want to, just pay me back. He reached out to retrieve it.

Zhao Zirui dodged to the side, opened his wallet and took out a small pile of banknotes, "This ......"

"I said, a whole."

"Thanks, buddy!" Zhao Zirui's mouth is almost hanging on the root of his ears, and his mobile phone has hope!

Li Yi gave a thumbs up and praised: "This gift is really rich!" ”

Chen Hewei said: "Tongzuo, you have already received a good gift, I think about it with the right, and I think only this is the most suitable for you." She pulled out a few small pieces of paper with folded corners from her bag.

"What is this?" Zhao Zirui rolled his eyes after taking it and reading the small words on it.

Li Yi leaned over and read it out with a smile:

Penalty waiver.

Lin Weihe couldn't help laughing: "He is often punished? ”

"That's right! Sleep in class, talk and eat, don't hand in homework on time, don't do morning exercises. There are so many places where he should be punished. The punishment is to be accepted by me, do you think this gift is good? ”

Lin Weihe nodded, this gift is so good and creative. She pulled out a small flat box from her bag.

Chen He saw her and complained to her: "Didn't you ask you not to send it!" ”

"If you want to send it, since you invited me to come, you have to express it."

"Look at how much Weihe can be!" Zhao Zirui happily opened the box and took out a black metal pen, the tip of which was like a pencil but not like a pencil, a bit of a business pen. Puzzled, he asked, "Is this a fountain pen?" ”

"I see that you like to spin the pen, and the pen often breaks water when you fall around. This pen won't run out of water, you can drop it as much as you want, and the handwriting is similar to that of a pencil. Lin Weihe explained.

"Does it mean that you don't use ink without water?" Chen Hewei took out a notebook and asked him to try to write casually, and the handwriting was indeed like a pencil.

"I don't know what you like, so I'll give you something I think you'll use." Lin Weihe said embarrassedly, worried that he wouldn't like it.

Zhao Zirui tried to turn around, he had a sense of weight, and he wouldn't be thrown out by him at once, he said with satisfaction: "This is very cool, thank you, thank you." Then put it in the box and put it away.

"Now let's cut the cake!"

After dividing the cake, the mobile phone rang as soon as he ate a few bites of Lin Weihe. She took it out and saw that it was Lin Zhinan, her heart tightened, and she immediately went out to find a quiet place to connect.

The huge office was magnificent, and Lin Zhinan sat on the office chair, "How are you doing?" ”

In a second, Lin Weihe's brain was running rapidly: "Very good! I'm celebrating my birthday at my classmates right now. ”

Lin Zhinan was surprised, "You can celebrate your birthday with your classmates?" ”

"Hey, hey, yes, I'm very popular!"

The door of the private room opposite suddenly opened, and a huge noise came out, and she immediately covered her mobile phone.

"Why is it so noisy?" Lin Zhinan stood up and faced the floor-to-ceiling window, and the night view outside the window was charming.

"I was in the bathroom just now, and now I'm out of the bathroom, of course." Lin Weihe didn't want to blurt out a lie.

Lin Zhinan got to the point, "Grandpa misses you, I originally wanted to take you home today, just forget if you accompany you to study, I'll go next time." ”

"Good, good! Then you remember to pick me up from school. Lin Weihe hurriedly agreed, frowned at something, and said, "You drive a normal car, or I won't get in the car." ”

Lin Zhinan smiled and agreed.

At eight or nine o'clock in the evening,

Huo Jingyu wandered on the street, he took a bus that he had never taken before, looked at the unfamiliar street scene outside the window, and went back and forth.

A little girl with a small schoolbag sat next to him, holding a populated candy larger than her face in her hand and eating it intently, humming a nursery rhyme that she might have just learned in kindergarten.

With a sudden braking, Huo Jingyu reflexively blocked the little person next to her, so that she didn't hit the seat in front of her.

The passengers in the car were in danger, it turned out to be a small car rushing into the road, but fortunately the driver reacted quickly.

The bus body was scratched, and the rearview mirror of the car that grabbed the road was also broken. What followed was cursing between the driver and the driver, and the argument lasted for a short time.

The horn was blocked by the accident, and the bus driver thought he was unlucky, and impatiently took out 300 yuan to stuff it to the car driver, so that the lane could drive normally, and the passengers who knew about it were fighting for the driver.

The little girl stared at the candy broken on the ground pityingly, turned her head to look at Huo Jingyu next to her, took out a small lollipop from her schoolbag and handed it to him: "Brother, here you go." ”

Huo Jingyu turned his head sideways, looking at her little hand holding a small lollipop, and smiled innocently. He shook his head, "Eat it yourself." ”

The little girl shoved the candy into his hand and said, "This is my favorite candy, you must eat it." ”

"Since you like it and your sugar is gone, why don't you eat it yourself?"

"Mom said good things to share." The little girl took back the lollipop, tore open the wrapping paper and put it back in Huo Jingyu's hand, "Cola-flavored, it's delicious." ”

"You don't know me, do you? Did your mom ever say not to eat something from strangers? ”

"I'm not a bad person. You just saved my life, and I can't let you save it in vain. The little girl's tone was old-fashioned, and he felt that he could laugh.

Huo Jingyu looked at her little face, and naturally doted on her, he said, "It's too much, I can't eat it." ”

When the little girl heard him say this, she raised her eyebrows with joy, "Then I'll eat half of it first, okay?" "A child is still a child, no matter how mature he is, he still retains a childlike heart.

Agreed, the little girl broke half of it, and the remaining half was in Huo Jingyu's mouth, which was very sweet, and crackling sugar grains jumped on the tip of her tongue.

The bus pulled over, and the little girl arrived, said goodbye to him sweetly, and hopped off the bus.

Through the car window, he saw a park on the opposite side and got out of the car.

The park is not secluded, and you can see singing and dancing everywhere. There is a large residential area nearby, and visiting the park is an after-dinner pastime for many office workers and their families.

Suddenly, a large dog that broke away from the reins ran straight towards Huo Jingyu, it pounced on Huo Jingyu, the dog stood up with the height of an adult man, its paws on his shoulders, grinning and sticking out its tongue.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." The hostess hurriedly pulled the dog off him and restrained him.

"That ......" The hostess pointed to Huo Jingyu's shoulder, hesitating to twist off the dog hair.

Huo Jingyu patted his shoulder and said to her, "Please hold your dog." ”

"I'm sorry, it likes you." The woman said apologetically.

"Like me? It? Huo Jingyu looked at the large brown-haired dog sitting on the ground wagging its tail vigorously. He ignored it and continued to walk.

The big dog tried to follow, but the hostess was dragged along, but she had no strength enough to follow it all the way, and it followed him.

Huo Jingyu stopped unhappily: "How long do you want to follow me?" ”

"I'm sorry, I didn't expect it to like you so much, I can't hold it." The woman said in embarrassment.

"Do you have the impression of seeing it? Or fed it? The woman was a little shy to meet his unexplained gaze, and if she looked away and felt impolite, she stared at the big tree behind him and said, "It was a stray dog before." ”

"Nope." Huo Jingyu walked forward and acquiesced to a man and a dog walking beside him.

The big dog behind him suddenly sprinted forward and pounced on the other person, and the woman was led away again, and apologized again.

Huo Jingyu walked out of the park on the path, and just as he wanted to go to the station, a black car stopped in front of him and honked twice.

A woman in professional clothes got out of the car, and the woman spoke: "Mr. Huo, what a coincidence." ”

Huo Jingyu stared at her.

"Is Mr. Huo going back? I'll send you. ”

He barely recognized her silhouette under the dim streetlight, "Miss Qin? ”

Qin Lei smiled with some relief: "I feel honored that Mr. Huo can recognize me. ”

"Lin Zhinan asked you to come?" Huo Jingyu didn't think she had met him by chance.

Qin Lei didn't answer, just smiled, she opened the car door and signaled. Huo Jingyu hesitated for a few seconds, but still got into the car.

The air in the car was silent, and Qin Lei was the first to speak: "Is Mr. Huo taking a walk?" ”

Huo Jingyu did not answer.

Qin Lei didn't mind at all, and then said, "You don't have to be so defensive of me, I hope it is Mr. Huo more than Miss Su." ”

"There's no possibility between me and him."

Qin Lei smiled, "There is a song that I have listened to for many years. She turned her head to look at him and said, "I think it's a good fit for you, don't you mind?" ”

Seeing that he didn't say anything, Qin Lei put in a CD, and after a while, the bass said slowly. The singers of the vicissitudes of life sing casually, and the emotions behind them flow naturally to the depths.

Huo Jingyu looked out of the car window, and countless neon dots flashed.

Qin Lei drove the car to the beach and stopped at the entrance of the plank road with apologies, "I'm sorry Mr. Huo, Mr. Lin asked me to send you here, and he was waiting for you in the old place." ”

Huo Jingyu didn't say anything, and stepped on the seaside plank road. The sea breeze blew mercilessly on his face, and his eyes slightly narrowed in the face of the wind were slightly tired.

"Jing Yu."

Hearing the sound, Huo Jingyu stopped and turned to the source of the sound, Lin Zhinan slowly walked towards him, stretched out his arms and wanted to hug him.

Huo Jingyu took a step back, "What's the matter with you?" ”

Lin Zhinan put down his hand that was frozen in mid-air and said, "I just want to see you." ”

"Now that you've seen it, please come back."

Lin Zhinan was used to his detached tone, stared at his indifferent eyes, and said with a smile: "I want to invite you...... Go to a class reunion. ”

"Not available."

It was the answer he expected, Lin Zhinan said: "Just stay for half an hour, ten minutes!" Just let them see it. ”

"Give me a reason why I have to see them."

Lin Zhinan thought for a while: "In their memory, you are still the skinny little stutterer who doesn't talk much. ”

"So what?" Huo Jingyu looked at him coldly.

"I don't want them to perpetuate their stereotype of you all the time." Lin Zhinan snorted.

"They can think whatever they want, I don't have to go see them."

"Jing Yu!"

"Please call me Mr. Huo, I don't think we know each other very well."

Huo Jingyu has been forcing back this man who wants to have results with him with a cold and hard attitude.

"Mr. Huo."

Lin Zhinan compromised and asked in a polite tone: "Please come with me to the class reunion." ”

"It's not possible."

didn't want to talk nonsense with him anymore, Huo Jingyu walked towards his car, opened the door and sat in the driver's seat without authorization.

The horn sounded impatiently, Lin Zhinan's mood suddenly brightened, and he trotted over to open the car door and prepare to step on.

"Sit back."

Lin Zhinan smiled absently and sat in the back seat obediently. "I'm glad you're still willing to touch my car."

Huo Jingyu ignored him and increased the throttle under his feet.

drove home, Huo Jingyu ruthlessly threw off the car and entered the community alone.

The decisive back became smaller and smaller, Lin Zhinan didn't know how long he looked at it, grabbed his coat that was stiffened by the wind, and drove away.
