Xiao Meng may be Lu Yao's closest friend, and they are as close as brothers, but they are not real brothers and sisters after all, he can treat her well with a clear conscience, and spoil her as much as he wants.

But he couldn't help but care about the meaning of Lu Junfeng's words: your liking might make her bear the gossip of the outside world.

They are about to enter middle school, they have faded away from the "childlike words" of their childhood, their words and deeds are concerned by others all the time, he has always been a child in other people's mouths "there is a mother but not a mother", but this hat should not be buckled on Lu Yao's head.

After Xiao Meng left, Lu Junfeng had dinner alone, and after cleaning up the kitchen, he went downstairs to take out the garbage, and poured the pots of pothos on the balcony one by one, and finally sat at the desk in his room.

There was a piece of paper on the table, which had been sandwiched in a book, and after being clamped for a long time, the folds on the paper looked like they had been ironed.

On the paper, a very happy man was drawn, with only a few brushes, the proportions of the drawings were very incongruous, the nose was crooked, and the eyes were squinted, and in the lower right corner of the paper was three words scribbled crookedly.

That was his name, it was "Lu Junfeng" written by Lu Yao.

Three years ago, the boy on the island had a frozen land in his heart that was uncivilized all year round, and he was often attacked by blizzards, and Lu Yao was a hot spring under his three-foot frozen soil, which flowed quietly in the depths of his heart for a thousand days and nights, and finally melted all his past misfortunes and pains......

Lu Yao was lying on the bed, her head was very dizzy, in fact, she didn't fall asleep, she just "pretended to sleep" to reassure Xiao Meng.

She had a splitting headache, but her limbs were weak, and her whole body was curled up in a ball, and she looked small on her little bed.

When Lu Junfeng pushed open her door like a gust of wind and lifted her out of bed, she didn't understand what was going on for a while.

She knelt on the edge of the bed on her knees, and Lu Junfeng stood in front of her condescendingly, grabbing her shoulders with both hands to prevent her from falling.

"Lu Yao! Are you so vulnerable! Who are you going to die or live to show you! ”

Lu Junfeng's roar first "buzzed" into her ears, and when it broke into her head, her brain began to rotate slowly, and then she absorbed his words word by word.

"You say you hate me? Who else can you hate but yourself? Do you think I'm going to feel bad if I don't eat or drink? I tell you, the more you do this, the happier I am! Haven't you heard of 'the dove occupies the magpie's nest'? I wish you had a falling out with Uncle Lu and never going back to this home again! ”

"Lu Yao, as long as you don't care in your heart, no one can hurt you! The only person who can hurt you is always yourself! That's what you said to me......"

Lu Yao's already thin lips completely faded because of Lu Junfeng's words, and his dark eyes seemed to be unable to contain any stimulation anymore.

After he finished saying the last word, she finally focused her eyes on his face, and Lu Junfeng felt the shoulders under her hands begin to rise, and her back straightened little by little.

He was helpless and distressed, he knew Lu Yao, under his well-behaved face, he had a "soldier can be killed but not humiliated" bearing, no matter how miserable she lost, she would also make her "beaten" posture look as good as possible.

Lu Junfeng's hand was on her thin shoulder, and in a trance, she seemed to smell a very light fragrance, mixed with the unique taste of the girl around her neck, and became a special taste.

It was Lu Yao's taste, a sweetness that was pure and soft like candy that lingered on the tip of his heart.

Lu Yao finally raised her hand and pushed Lu Junfeng away, her body shook a little too hard, but she tried to maintain her balance, she got out of bed, stood at the door of her room, and said calmly to Lu Junfeng, "Get out." ”

Lu Yun came back from the night shift, pushed open the door early in the morning, and saw the two people at the dining table who were eating with their heads down, there was no communication between the two, only the slight sound of the collision of dishes and chopsticks, but this scene still made Lu Yun's tired face slightly eased.

He thought, a family, really has to have three people, when one of them is not there, there will be another person by your side.

"Why do you wake up so early?" Lu Yun changed his shoes, put down his bag, and approached the dining table.

"Uncle Lu." As soon as Lu Junfeng stood up, he was patted on the shoulder by Lu Yun and sat back in the chair.

"I've eaten at work." Lu Yun stood behind Lu Junfeng and looked at the person opposite who was drinking porridge, "Are you still used to it?" ”

Lu Junfeng: "Well, get used to it. ”

"From now on, this is your home, and we are all your family."

Lu Junfeng raised his eyes and glanced at the person opposite, nodded, he understood that Uncle Lu's words were not only said to himself, but also to Lu Yao.

Lu Yao has always eaten seriously, and his ears don't listen to what is going on outside the window.

Lu Yun knew that she was still angry with herself about what happened last night, and she didn't expect her to give a good face, so after being embarrassed for a while, she planned to go back to the room to rest, and as soon as she opened the door, she heard Lu Yao's voice at the dining table.

"I'm going to cut my hair."

"Do you need me to accompany you?"

"I'll do it myself."

"Okay."

Lu Yun sat in front of the simple desk in the room, his tired face mixed with a hint of relief, and the room without the curtains was dim.

Lu Yao grew up and never told herself that she wanted to cut her hair or buy clothes, these were the "little secrets" between her and her mother, but now, she is willing to tell herself these because she understands the future, and they depend on each other.

Lu Junfeng woke up Lu Yao cruelly and desperately, Lu Yao finally stopped immersing himself in the pain of losing his mother, and felt that he was a poor worm abandoned by everyone.

She began to eat and sleep on time, would sit in the living room and watch her favorite TV shows for a while, and would go out and read a few books in the cardboard box that served as a bookshelf.

But she never had any communication with Lu Junfeng, although the two of them lived under the same roof, it was as if they were in different spatial dimensions at the same time, ignoring each other.

In fact, the only person who turned a blind eye was Lu Yao, Lu Junfeng was at home, and at first, even Lu Yao's movement in the living room could make his whole person tense his nerves; Lu Yao never paid attention to him, and after getting along for a while, he was used to this weird coldness, at least Lu Yao no longer rushed to him angrily and slapped him!

Lu Yun's work is very busy, and he can't take care of the daily life of his two children, so the family hired a part-time worker to be responsible for laundry and cooking.

This is a home that has just lost its hostess, and suddenly has a teenager, tearing open the outermost layer of uneasy plain skin, everyone under this is actually walking on the wire rope with difficulty, as long as there is a slight fluctuation, these people will fall at any time, and this family will fall apart at any time.

But life still has to go on.

Lu Yao's upcoming "F Junior High School" is the junior high school directly under the "F Attached High School", a key high school in S City, the high school is public, but the junior high school is private, and it is listed as the two most difficult private junior high schools in S City along with the "Second Affiliated High School of Huada".

Lu Yao relied on his excellent results in junior high school and his achievements in the piano competition from childhood to junior high school, so that he could meet the entrance threshold of F University Junior High School.

In this kind of private junior high school, in addition to the student's own ability, the situation of the parents is also an important factor for the school to consider whether to enroll students. Lu Yao's father is the deputy chief physician of the city's tertiary hospital, and his mother used to work in a military hospital, but after moving to S City, she entered the Municipal Health Bureau, and the school even learned about Lu Yao's grandmother's family......

In addition to considering the qualifications and admission rate of students, sometimes the necessary "investment promotion" is also inevitable, and every year there are a few students like Xiao Meng who are recruited by another "strength".

Lu Junfeng is the third existence, a product of a special enrollment method.

Every year, every school, especially key schools, has several "special" places, and the so-called special means that these enrolled students are neither like Lu Yao, who is a "high-quality" student who meets all aspects of quality, nor is it a wealthy boy like Xiao Meng, but some children whose family conditions are average or even poor, but who study hard and have excellent grades.

Each school must admit a certain percentage of these students according to the annual enrollment plan, and eligible students can apply on their own, and then the school will admit them on the basis of merit.

Lu Yao felt that Lu Yun was really generous this time, and he could even win such a scarce place for Lu Junfeng.

It is a very big change in the course of life for two children to go from primary school to junior high school together, whether it is the pressure of learning or the new environment, it is easy for children to feel uneasy.

Lu Yun was a little nervous, and took half a day off the day before school started.

When Lu Yao took a bite of the tomato sauce ribs, he frowned silently.

"What's wrong?" Lu Yun wiped his hands with an apron, and seemed to feel his cooking skills from his daughter's expression......

"Uncle Lu, sit down and eat." Lu Junfeng had already tasted all the dishes made by Lu Yun, and he had consciously put the relatively "okay" ones in front of Lu Yao as much as possible, but it was conceivable...... Lu Yao's receptivity is really a little worse.

Then he was a little happy in his heart, at least sometimes his aunt didn't come to cook the things he made at will, and she never showed such an expression.

"Yaoyao, pour the juice, and Ah Feng," Lu Yun poured himself a rare glass of red wine, and then touched the glasses in front of the two children one by one with the wine glasses in his hand, "Tomorrow will be a junior high school student, dad congratulations!" ”

Lu Yun drank more than half of the wine glass in one gulp, and said to Lu Yao: "Yaoyao, Ah Feng, you also have a drink, the two of you will take care of each other in school in the future, especially Yaoyao, you can't be naughty in junior high school compared to elementary school, you must restrain your naughtiness and learn more from Ah Feng!" ”

Lu Yao cut his waist-length hair ruthlessly, the hairstyle was a very old-fashioned student head, the length was on the shoulder, Qi bangs were cut longer, covering a little of the eyebrows, and it also removed her sometimes too sharp expression, making her much more cute and delicate.

Lu Junfeng retracted his gaze and raised the cup in his hand to touch Lu Yao's, Lu Yao didn't hide, and the two cups touched lightly.

"Yaoyao's grades are good, I learned from her."

"Did she get good grades?" Lu Yun doesn't seem to care much about his daughter's studies, and he only knew how difficult it is to get into F University Junior High School because he ran for Lu Junfeng before.

"Of course, Ah Yao's results in the primary school graduation exam ......"

Lu Yao stood up suddenly, "I'm full, I'm back to my room." ”

"Stop!" Lu Yun threw the wine glass in his hand on the table hard, "What kind of attitude do you have!" ”

Hearing this, Lu Yao stood still, his face was not wavering, and he spoke patiently again, "I'm already full, can I go back to my room to tidy up my things for school tomorrow?" ”

Lu Yun: "......"

Lu Junfeng: "......"
