The huge thunder woke Ye Xu up from his good dream, and his eyes looked out of the window in a daze, seizing the last chance to return to his dream. In the dream, I went back to my childhood, my mother took his little hand and sat on the bench in the playground, and my father stood not far away, trying to make funny movements as subtle as possible to attract his attention, and the camera in his hand kept making "click" sounds, trying to keep every second of this warm moment.

Just like the thunder just now, at some point, my mother suddenly became weak. Ye Xu often saw his mother frowning and pressing his abdomen. As a young child, he thought it was a fun thing to do, and he used to repeat the same actions like his mother. Whenever I saw him like this, my mother's somewhat sallow face always showed a smile. With his almost pale hand, he hugged his small body and kept repeating: "Xiao Xu, my mother will always love you, can you remember!"

At that time, I always replied loudly, "Yes!" I can also vaguely feel that something bad is about to happen. Some of the little requests he wanted to make became afraid to speak, but his mother could always guess his thoughts with a smile and would try her best to fulfill those small wishes.

The death of the mother was determined through the young classmates at the school, because it was believed that the mother was working far away to make the whole family live a better life. Ye Xu also fought the first fight in his life with the classmate whose name he had "deliberately" forgotten. Through the apologetic gazes of the teacher and his father and the aggrieved apology of the classmate to himself, Ye Xu understood that his mother would never come back.

There is always a continuous thunder after the explosion, although it is not as loud as the previous one, but the continuous roar makes people more anxious. My father began to drink heavily, and I remember my father's company going from being a "bumper car park" to being the size of a desk and a sofa. The father's face also had the same face as that of the mother, except that there was no mother's loving expression, but instead there was a heavy smell of wine and a chaotic murmur.

The departure of his father was like a follow-up thunder, and Ye Xu began to follow his grandfather, who lived alone. Grandpa runs a small restaurant, located in an old community with few people, and the business is not too bad, at least so that their children and grandchildren can eat and live well. According to the living habits of the elderly, Ye Xu does not yearn for the strangeness of the outside world, but is willing to stay at home and help his grandfather do some small things, so that he can avoid the different eyes of "other people".

may have inherited part of his father's science thinking and his mother's liberal arts acumen. Although there were many accidents at home, his homework was never disturbed, so that his successive teachers paid attention to this young student with pity, care, and expectation. But Ye Xu himself is very sensitive to this kind of "gaze", as if he is always reminding his parents who have gone far away will not come back. In addition, after experiencing the incident of "not sensible" classmates "telling the truth" when he was a child, gradually there was no longer the sound of frolicking around him, and even the conversation between the teacher and him gradually changed to a conversation between "adults".

After starting to be lonely, Ye Xu gradually got used to and liked this feeling, watching familiar strangers get together in the distance, starting from the worship and argument of "cartoons" in elementary school, to the gossip and discussion of "stars" in junior high school, and then to the current high school age, he can listen quietly from a distance, without letting these people intervene in his own world.

Grandpa is getting older, and taking the opportunity of summer vacation, Uncle takes grandpa to another city to recuperate for some time. Everyone in the family knew his character, and after receiving his faint refusal and firm promise, his grandfather was almost forcibly taken away by the uncle's family.

Wake up, wash up, open the two windows facing the street, and let the moist and fresh air quickly pour into the small vestibule.

Fetching water, wiping the table, and mopping the floor, the tables and chairs that had been sleeping all night were also brightened.

Gently wiping the sweat on his forehead, Ye Xu breathed a long sigh of relief with satisfaction. The heavy rain outside the store did not stop, occasionally mixed with bursts of thunder, and the oppressive dark clouds in the air kept scattering electric light, making him feel like the sky was collapsing.

Carefully open the door of the store, and watch the sparse passers-by rushing away from the street, the water on the side of the road is almost up to everyone's ankles, and everyone is struggling to walk. There were also faint curses, and he couldn't help but wonder if he should consider piling something waterproof in front of the store if it rained for a while. Thinking of the rare words such as heavy rain, drought, fire, and earthquake that have frequently appeared in the news newspapers recently, Ye Xu shook his head, turned around and walked towards the store, wanting to carry some sandbags that could be waterproof.

A screeching sound of brakes suddenly sounded behind him, and the splashing rain drenched him from head to toe, and the white ground that had just been mopped was instantly covered with a large amount of hazel sewage. Before he could figure out the situation, there was a knock on the car door behind him, and a female voice who listened to a little arrogant asked casually, "Excuse me, is Ye Xu here?", without apologies at all for the accident caused just now.

Ye Xu turned around with some difficulty, the rain that kept dripping from his hair obscured most of his vision, even so, the pair of high heels that didn't mind stepping on the rippling sewage still made his eyes squint and his face was not good.

"Hey, you're Ye Xu!" The girl's voice suddenly became louder, revealing a hint of surprise, seeing Ye Xu's appearance, the girl pretended not to know and said, "How did you do this?" It could be seen that she was trying her best to restrain her laughter.

"Is there something wrong?" Holding back his anger, Ye Xu wiped the sewage on his face and head with his hands, stared at the sewage on the ground, and asked coldly without raising his head.

"It looks familiar, you know me, we're in the same class!" the red heels rubbed happily on the spot, stirring up the sewage that had just calmed down again. Seeing that Ye Xu didn't mean to respond at all, the girl was not angry, she paced slowly in the front hall curiously, looked at the furnishings in the store, picked up a few items and checked them, and said casually:

"Our homeroom teacher is very optimistic about you! I try my best to recommend your character and learning attitude to my father, and I want to recommend you a tutor job!" Putting down the spice box in her hand, the girl suddenly turned around, and when she saw Ye Xu finally looking at herself, a smug look immediately appeared on her face, she covered her mouth with her hand, and asked with a mysterious smile: "How about being my tutor?"

Seeing the delicate and fair face in front of him, and remembering the name that appeared the longest among the "buzzing" sounds that always came from around him when he was in school, Ye Xu's eyes immediately narrowed into a slit, and his already not good-looking face was even more difficult to look at.

"Glamorous!trendy!school flower!dream lover!" The results of the appraisal in the gang of men.

"Stinky and beautiful, spicy, domineering, no one in sight!" is a pertinent comment in the women's circle.

For the sensitive Ye Xu, you can read the meaning of playfulness through the girl's gaze. He was very sure that he definitely didn't want to have anything to do with this "beautiful man".

"I'm sorry! I don't have time!"

"What?" The girl's eyes widened violently, and she looked at Ye Xu with an incredulous expression, and her little hand, which was exaggerated just now, slowly put it down, and quickly clenched it into a fist. The smile of the flower was as if it was suddenly blown by a biting cold. A chill began to appear around Ye Xu, and even the water waves trembling slightly under his feet calmed down at an extremely fast speed, as if they also had a human nature.

"Very good, since you say so, we don't have to talk nonsense! Say, how much benefit do you have to help me lie?" The girl frowned and glanced around the front hall that was still clean just now, stared at Ye Xu with some disdain and asked: "What is your daily turnover here?" Forget it! Give you two thousand a day, as long as you receive a call from my parents and say that I am studying!"

"I said I didn't have time!" Ye Xu's answer was still firm and cold.

"You!" The girl stared at Ye Xu viciously, seeing that he began to clean up the sewage in the hall without any move, her small lips pursed slightly, her delicate eyebrows were slightly raised, and she suddenly took a long breath, and the expression on her face quickly changed back to a lively and cheerful appearance.

"I know you study best in school!" the girl was obviously angry in her heart, and although she tried her best to suppress it, she couldn't help but have some sarcasm in her tone.

"I don't usually socialize with people! I never spread gossip! My parents also asked your previous teachers, and they all spoke very well of you, but your personality is a little withdrawn! In addition, they still value you very much!"

"So you want me to help you lie to your parents?" Ye Xu's subordinates didn't stop, but their slightly narrowed eyes widened.
