"Wash your hands and eat." Mom shouted outside the door.

"Here we go." The siblings walked out one after the other.

At the dinner table, several people were talking and laughing, and Lin Qingmeng recounted what had happened recently, naturally omitting things about Lin Chen and Xu Wen.

"Mom, I'll go out for a walk later, and they asked me out when I came back with my classmates." Lin Qingmeng pulled rice and said seemingly casually.

"Male and female." Mother Lin also asked casually. is worthy of being a mother and daughter, and the two are exactly the same even in disguise.

"Both." Lin Qingmeng was about to lie and told the truth.

"Well, remember to come back early." After a brief admonition, Mother Lin didn't ask any more.

After eating, Lin Qingmeng offered to wash the dishes.

The breeze was light, and the lonely figure gradually lengthened in the bright moonlight. The street lamps on both sides have long been lit up, and the stars are hanging. The wind rustles the trees. Away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, the long-term silence made Lin Qingmeng uncomfortable.

The lights of the city are bright, which almost makes Lin Qingmeng forget the original appearance of the night. Passing through the park, I saw a bench to sit down and rest.

I was in such a hurry that I forgot to look at the time, and when I asked them, I found that everyone was eating. I had no choice but to go out, so I had to hang out alone for a while.

The park is gradually becoming more and more crowded, and it is very lively. Lin Qingmeng, who was alone, was incompatible with this, and after staying for a while, he finally couldn't bear the embarrassment and chose to leave.

I thought about whether to go to Zhang Biqian and them by myself, but in retrospect, after so many years, I still didn't know where they lived. Recalling what Zhang Biqian said during the college entrance examination, "We live around here", Lin Qingmeng walked in the direction of Hongchuan No. 1 Middle School.

Hongchuan County is still the same as before, with a small number of vehicles coming and going. Noticing the red light on the opposite side, Lin Qingmeng stopped and waited.

"Dreams." In a trance, she heard someone calling her name, turned around with doubts, and saw Chen Yan walking towards her.

Approached with a smile, "Long time no see, you also came back to participate in the school celebration?" ”

Afraid that Lin Qingmeng was still embarrassed by what happened last time, Chen Yan then spoke, "I'm really embarrassed about what happened last time." ”

"It's fine." This incident was not his fault, and Lin Qingmeng naturally would not blame him. "It's all over, we won't mention this matter in the future."

"Okay." The two looked at each other and smiled.

"What are you?" didn't expect the other party to appear at this moment, and their doubts blurted out at the same time. It's not that they shouldn't be here, it's that it's not the right time.

"My mom is here to read." Lin Qingmeng explained that Chen Yan had always known that Lin Qingmeng had a younger brother.

"The company has something to do, and I will go back to Jingbei City tomorrow, in order to facilitate the temporary stay in the hotel." Come to think of it, it is inconvenient to live in Yulin Town after all.

"Green light." Chen Yan reminded that Lin Qingmeng was now facing the traffic light, so he naturally didn't know the situation.

The two walked side by side across the sidewalk and caught a glimpse of the park next to them, "How is it, do you want to take a stroll." Chen Yan sent out an invitation.

Lin Qingmeng refused, Chen Yan seemed to see through her thoughts, and took the lead in speaking, "Why, I haven't seen you for many years, and you don't give me this face?" At this point, Lin Qingmeng had no choice but to respond.

On the square, the aunts danced the square dance energetically, and the scene was very spectacular.

"I didn't expect that Hongchuan at night is also a beautiful scenery." Chen Yan sighed from looking at the active crowd.

Although he has not returned for many years, the night scene of Hongchuan is not much different from what Lin Qingmeng saw at the beginning, and the lively atmosphere for a while will inevitably bring some dreams back to the past.

They walked along the cobblestones, and under the dim street lamp, Chen Yancong suddenly spoke, "Qingmeng, in fact, there is a sentence that I have always wanted to say to you, but I don't have the opportunity. I originally thought that I would talk about it after college, but I didn't expect you to go to Wandong University. ”

Lin Qingmeng realized that he went to Wandong University for himself.

"I don't know when my eyes didn't take my eyes off you, and the few hours away from returning home together gradually became the time I looked forward to the most. Qingmeng, I like you. Lin Qingmeng was stunned, Chen Yancong was like an elder brother to her, whether it was junior high school or high school, he had always taken care of himself in his own way, which Lin Qingmeng still knew. However, the relationship between them is only that.

"Flame Cong, I'm sorry." Lin Qingmeng didn't know how to refuse, and said with a stumbling voice.

"We've spent five years together, I don't believe you don't have feelings for me, Qingmeng, you must also like me, it's just that you may not realize it for a while." Hearing Lin Qingmeng's refusal, Chen Yancong's reaction was extremely strong.

Lin Qingmeng had never seen him like this, and he couldn't help but be frightened for a while, pushing the arm he was holding, "You let go of me first, you hurt me." ”

At this time, Chen Yan had long since heard anything, and made Lin Qingmeng admit that he liked him.

The two had reached the depths of the park, flanked by tall trees and surrounded by few people. Lin Qingmeng was a little scared, so he had to temporarily calm Chen Yancong's emotions.

"Yan Cong, can you let me go first?" There was some tenderness in the tone.

Xu is Lin Qingmeng's gentle offensive worked, and Chen Yan slowly let go of her arm.

Seeing that he was out of his confinement, Lin Qingmeng pulled out his legs and ran in the direction of the bustle, and suddenly reversed, and Chen Yan was caught off guard. Realizing that he had been deceived, he desperately chased after Lin Qingmeng, getting closer and closer, closer and closer.

Lin Qingmeng shouted anxiously, "It's on fire, it's on fire." "It attracted a lot of people's attention.

desperately escaped, and finally came to a crowded place, and the heart that had been hanging was put down for the time being.

"Qingmeng, let's talk." Observing the crowd around her, Chen Yan stopped and said to her.

"We don't have much to talk about." What had happened a few minutes ago still scared her, and she couldn't imagine what would happen if she ran slower.

Discovering the abnormal reaction of the two, the surrounding people talked a lot, but no one stepped forward.

"How did you become like this, I remember that you weren't like this." In her impression, Chen Yan has always been a gentle and gentle person.

"No matter what you do, you have to rely on yourself to get over, and blindly tolerating it will only be bullied." A trace of ruthlessness flashed in Chen Yan's eyes. Lin Qingmeng couldn't imagine what he had experienced over the years.

The original Chen Yan really didn't fight with anyone, but it wasn't until that accident happened. When he was a freshman, not long after he learned that Lin Qingmeng did not come to Wandong University, his parents died in a car accident. He was the only one left in the originally happy family.

The uncle saw that he had a poor background and decided to take him in. Chen Yan, who was indulging in the pain of losing his father and mother, thought that he would get comfort, but he didn't know that this would be another abyss.

Usually at home, not only does the housework belong to him, but even the meals he eats are leftovers after his uncles have eaten.

As soon as the funeral was held, they took the pension for themselves, forcing him to pay for tuition when his sophomore year began, so he had to work and go to school at the same time.

thought that life would be eased somewhat, but when they learned that Chen Yan was doing odd jobs, they actually asked Chen Yan to hand over the money he earned.

Afraid that they would make trouble in his school, Chen Yancong had no choice but to compromise. The already poor living conditions make it even more difficult.

thought they were sending charcoal in the snow, but who knew that they were just filling in the frost.

Since then, Chen Yan's personality has changed greatly. In his junior year, there was only one place to study abroad, and in order to escape from his uncle's house, Chen Yan never hesitated to use tricks to force his competitors to be disqualified because of punishment.

"Dreams." Xu Wen rushed out of the crowd in a hurry, originally going to find Lin Qingmeng, but when he passed by the park, he noticed a bunch of people, and couldn't help but take a few more looks. Accidentally heard Lin Qingmeng's voice, so he didn't care too much and broke in directly.

Xu Wen stood in front of Lin Qingmeng, isolating her from Chen Yan.

The worry in his eyes overflowed, "How about it, it's okay." ”

The confrontation lasted for so long, and it wasn't until she saw Xu Wen's appearance that she was relieved, her tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and she collapsed in Xu Wen's arms.

"What are you doing, if you don't leave, I'll call the police." Xu Wen said indifferently.

"You don't have to worry about the affairs of the two of us, which onion are you." finally calmed down, and when he watched the intimate movements of the two, he went berserk again.

"Anyway, you've been friends for many years, so it's necessary to make a fuss like this?" Chen Yancong, Xu Wen has seen it a few times.

Hearing this, Chen Yan saw the person opposite clearly, and instantly ignited a fire of jealousy, "You rejected me for him?" ”

"Either way, I won't like you." For the sake of being a friend, Lin Qingmeng still couldn't bear to call the police.

Xu Wen left the park with Lin Qingmeng, and saw the protagonist walk away, and the crowd gradually dispersed.

"I'm sorry I'm late." Xu Wen's eyes were full of apologies.

"I don't blame you, it's just that I didn't think of why he became like this, he wasn't like this before." The curtain that happened in front of him made Lin Qingmeng unbelievable.

But people will inevitably change.

In order to alleviate Lin Qingmeng's mood, Xu Wen took her to the video game city.

"What is this?" The arcade at night is noisier than during the day. Most of the half-grown children were playing, and suddenly two adults entered indiscriminately, which was particularly abrupt.

"What do you want to play?" Xu Wen pulled Lin Qingmeng towards the crane machine. Looking at the crane machine in front of the meeting, I thought of that afternoon.

"This." Lin Qingmeng pointed in front of him. She didn't really want to play, but she just saw that it was exactly the same as the doll at the beginning, and then thought of Xu Wen's competitive appearance.

She didn't know that it was because she saw the doll inside that Xu Wen would pull her over.

Detecting Lin Qingmeng's careful thoughts, Xu Wen inserted the game card in his hand, and the machine started a few seconds later. Lin Qingmeng controlled the machine very seriously, but it was so easy to catch something, otherwise this video game city would have closed down long ago.

After coming down a few times, she didn't catch it, which made her very discouraged, who was originally full of confidence, and she couldn't catch it today.

"Why don't I try." Seeing the loss in her eyes, Xu Wen took the initiative to ask.

"Are you okay?" The tone was full of doubt.

It's not that she doesn't believe Xu Wen, it's just that she failed at the beginning, and Lin Qingmeng still remembers it clearly.
