[Well, when I came to the door of Chen Kexin's house, it was Chen Kexin who opened the door... I made a mistake, and the end of the previous chapter became Le Yao. Sorry, sometimes it's confusing....]

The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled in front of this row of low bungalows, and the twilight reflected the shadow of Chen Kexin standing at the door. Compared with yesterday, she changed into some old and ill-fitting home casual clothes, and her loose clothes were illuminated in a conspicuous yellow. His hair fell loosely on his shoulders, swayed by the breeze. The little essence that had been recovered on his face returned to the previous decadence and haggard....

She stood at the intersection of the hut and the outside world.

The hut inside the house, cut off by the sunlight from the outside world, seemed to be an abyss that brought her into the darkness...

It made Berlin feel a heartache again....

The two people with complex emotions looked at each other in this peaceful and beautiful painting.

In the middle of the night, Berlin spoke, "Have you eaten?" ”

Chen Kexin was silent for a moment, then shook his head slightly.

"Then you wait for me." Berlin turned around and left, but he was a little relieved to leave, walked a few steps, and didn't forget to look back at Chen Kexin, and when he saw Chen Kexin, he stood there silently, looking at him, and couldn't help but feel a little heavier...

Berlin quickened his pace, and soon came to the restaurant, ordered the meal, and hurriedly walked to Chen Kexin's house.

When she went back, Chen Kexin was still standing at the door of her house.

"Thank you, Berlin..."

"Let's go inside and eat..."

Berlin twisted the bag and walked inside.

Compared to the day before yesterday, everything in the house has hardly changed. The kettle on the table, the rice grains that fell on the ground, a few pieces of toilet paper piled up in the trash... Along with the half-opened lid of the pot is still in place.

Berlin sighed secretly, he put the lunch box on the table and opened it, put Chen Kexin on the seat, picked up the broom, and began to clean up the garbage on the ground and boil the water....

"Berlin..."

Berlin's move made Chen Kexin a little overwhelmed in his eyes...

"You eat first, I'll eat it right away, I just want to boil some water, there's no need for you to come too." Berlin's smile was a little dry, and the two bottles of mineral water he had bought on the table sounded so fake.

Berlin knows that people change as they grow up. It's just that some habits can't be changed. Just like in the future, whenever she goes home, Chen Kexin will not bother to deal with the hygiene of the home, even if the home has almost no change compared to yesterday, she will do useless work to remove the dust. Even the last time I visited, this small space was clean....

And everything in the room is messy now, I'm afraid it's not as messy as her heart.

"I can handle that." Chen Kexin said.

Berlin didn't think so, pretending not to hear. He said, "I saw a book yesterday, do you want to hear it?" ”

Chen Kexin was stunned.

"In some episodes of the story, one of the characters' habits is mentioned. She was a woman, and her home was actually small, just a very small hut. But she has a habit, even if she does a lot of work every day, and is so tired that she will sleep when she falls into bed when she comes home, but she has to clean the house, then cook, wash the clothes, and deal with the housework, until the family goes to bed and falls asleep, she will fall asleep with a tired body. Once, her husband asked this woman, why do you have to work so hard? It's like the ground, anyway, it doesn't make a difference if you don't sweep it for a few days. She said that since it is home, it has to be clean.... The reason given is simple. Actually, I've been wondering if she has other reasons, but I can't think of..."

Berlin looked at Chen Kexin, with many complicated looks in his eyes that were not disguised, and his voice gently shook Chen Kexin's ears, "What do you think?" She's hard, isn't she? ”

Chen Kexin naturally couldn't understand that the woman in it was herself.

She fell silent. She sensed that there was something else in the Berlin dialect, but she couldn't read it for a moment...

"Sounds like a pretty good wife.... Actually, I can understand her, in terms of behavior..."

Chen Kexin replied.

Berlin smiled and didn't dwell on the subject any longer.

The mess in the underground is also dealt with in this conversation.

Berlin sat down in his seat and had dinner with Chen Kexin.

Under the blow of his mother's death, Berlin knew that Chen Kexin would not be able to come out of the shadows anytime soon. But now is the key to the college entrance examination, and he can't let Chen Kexin waste time like this.

At the end of dinner, watching the dusk fade outside the window, Berlin knew that he would not be able to stay long, it was 6 o'clock now, and if he did not go home, he was afraid that he would inevitably be reprimanded by his parents if he went back. He said, "Kexin, what are you going to do in the future?" ”

Chen Kexin didn't expect Berlin to ask this question, and was stunned for the first time.

Berlin is beyond the care and help of friends, in fact, Chen Kexin feels it, but now that her mother has died, Chen Kexin is reluctant to think about it so much, she wants to wait for Berlin to go back, and continue to lie down at home, wait for dark, wait for dawn... Get through the day again.

Subsequently, Chen Kexin fell into deep thought.

She suddenly remembered what Berlin had said to him earlier... She quickly stifled the memory, unwilling to recall the words that disturbed her heart.

"My aunt said, let me go and live with her."

Chen Kexin replied to Berlin.

“.... Is it? ”

Berlin was stunned.

In the future, she didn't hear Chen Kexin talk about living with her aunt?

Could it be that he came to the past and changed the future?

"So what do you think? When are you going to stay with her? Berlin hurriedly asked.

"I didn't say yes. My aunt paid a lot of money to my mother, and I didn't want to trouble my aunt anymore. If my mom isn't here, I'll live here by myself. Chen Kexin lowered his head slightly.

“...”

It turned out that Chen Kexin refused.

According to Berlin's understanding, with Chen Kexin's character, since he has identified something, it is difficult to change it...

"What about the school?" Berlin asked, "You can't really work and make money, can you?" You're not 18 yet, what kind of job can you get? Isn't it okay to finish your studies and then look for a job slowly? ”

“....”

"Do you remember the last time I said to you?" Berlin again.

“....”

Chen Kexin spoke.

Keep your head down and lower your pretty eyes.

"Go back first, Berlin. I don't know, I don't want to think about that now...", eventually, Chen Kexin spoke.

“...”

Berlin left.

Today, after meeting again, Chen Kexin didn't want to cry like she did at the beginning, Berlin knew very well that it was not that she had eased up, but that she buried her heavy heart in her heart.

The door closed.

The only remaining sunset outside the house was also locked in her dark hut by Chen Kexin.

Berlin can imagine that at night, she curled up on that little bed, reminiscing about her life with her mother, secretly crying and uncomfortable. That's it, waiting for sleepiness to come, in sleep, to escape the pain of reality...

What could he do?

What can he help?

Berlin knew that he could not do anything.

Sighing heavily, looking up at the magnificent dusk in the far corner of the sky, Berlin couldn't help but sigh, why did this bad news happen at this time? Can't it be a few months late?

On the way home, Berlin remembered that he had left a book at school, and the homework he had assigned today was related to it, and he had no choice but to go back to school.

But when Berlin came to the school gate, he was stunned to see Lin Manman wearing the uniforms of other schools.

She stood at the school gate, and let a few passing students give her strange looks, and she stood calmly, as if she would not make any fluctuations about anything. I don't always stare at the school gate...

She didn't notice it on the road behind Berlin.

"Lin Manman?" The Berlin voice rang out.

Lin Manman immediately turned around.

She looked at Berlin, and her calm eyes lit up with joy.

"It's 6 o'clock, why are you here? Who are you waiting for? Berlin couldn't help but be curious.

"I thought you hadn't come out of school yet, I came early today." Lin Manman replied.

“....”

She was actually waiting for herself?
