Next Chapter

We've all inadvertently lost a heart, but it took us half a lifetime to find it.

- Xia Wei

In the summer of 2005, Xia Wei experienced the first turning point in her life - the high school entrance examination.

In August, the temperature in County D is only high, not low. Walking to the left from the intersection of the rainbow intersection of the old street, and bypassing the noisy vegetable market, there is a residential building that looks particularly dilapidated because of its age. And this is where Xia Wei has lived for fifteen years.

But...

Xia Wei carried her schoolbag and luggage, looking back at this place full of memories, this will no longer be her home from now on.

"Mom, are we really not coming back?"

"Hmm." Mom patted her shoulder comfortingly, turned around and wiped the corners of her eyes. "Let's go."

After a moment of silence, Xia Wei knew that her mother must be more sad than her, for her, this was just the place where she had lived for fifteen years. But for her mother, this is not only a place where she has lived for many years, but also a place where her remorse begins and her youth is buried.

Taking a deep breath, I strode away with my mother, where I had lived for fifteen years, and all I could pack was one suitcase per person.

At the intersection, a black sedan was parked, out of place compared to the shabby mess, and a man in a gray suit, about forty years old, was standing by the door and smoking.

Seeing Xia Wei and them, he threw away the cigarette butts, stepped forward and took the suitcase in their hands: "Tired, right?" Get in the car. Then stuff the luggage into the trunk.

Sitting in the back seat, watching my mother chatting with the man, occasionally chuckling, and then looking at the man, the endless spoiling, accidentally looking at each other, my mother will blush and look away, there is an unstoppable smile between her eyebrows, Xia Wei knows, that is happiness.

She had never seen her mother smile so softly and so beautifully.

This man's name is Shao Haoxiang, his previous identity was his mother's friend for many years, and his current identity is Xia Wei's stepfather. His wife died of illness many years ago, and it was not easy for him to carry a child alone all these years. He is a very good, gentle and considerate man, at least to her mother, which makes Xia Wei feel very relieved to hand over her mother to him.

I can't tell what kind of mood it is, for Xia Wei, who has no father since she was a child, in the future life, expectations are greater than fear.

Xia Wei's biological father, she has never seen her, since she was sensible, there was only her mother by her side. Her parents were together because they were young and frivolous, and at the age of about twenty, they were still children, so they had her, so she was born without being favored and blessed by others.

In the end, the young father still couldn't stand the temptation of the fancy world, and abandoned his mother and her, so that in the end, his mother didn't even get a title, and cut off contact with family and friends with the reputation of having children out of wedlock, and left the country with the child alone.

Therefore, Xia Wei is terrified of the term father, maybe she should never be able to shout those two words! At this moment, she may not have imagined that many years later, the person who has become a taboo in her heart will appear without warning.

The sun was about to set, the sun shone in through the car window, the sun was lazy, their destination was Z City, the long journey made Xia Wei drowsy, and finally with nervous anticipation and confusion about the future, she fell asleep deeply.

When I woke up, it was already completely dark, and I rubbed my eyes to see that it was already nine o'clock. Only then did she find out that she had arrived in Z City, looking at the night scene flashing outside the window, colorful neon lights, is this where she wants to live in the future?

"Weiwei, what do you want to eat later?" Shao Haoxiang saw Xia Wei wake up and asked.

"Not hungry yet." I don't know if it's because of motion sickness, or because of nervous and complicated feelings, it seems that she is really not hungry.

"Then how can it be done, if you are not hungry, you have to eat as much as you want." Mom thought Xia Wei said this because she was in a bad mood. "Besides, you have a bad stomach and can't go hungry."

"Mom, I'm really not hungry." Seeing her mother's concerned expression, Xia Wei pulled the corners of her mouth and showed a far-fetched smile

"You ......" Faced with her daughter's stubbornness, the mother was a little angry.

"Okay Yuemei, forget it if you don't eat it slightly, you have to prepare ingredients at home, and you can eat it when you're slightly hungry." Seeing that the person in front of him began to be more serious, Shao Haoxiang immediately stopped him.

Xia Wei threw a grateful look at Shao Haoxiang, who just shook his head and smiled.

Yuemei, is her mother's name, Xia Yuemei, Xia Wei is surnamed by her mother, she lived to be fifteen years old, but she never knew what her biological father's surname was and what his name was, in fact, she also hated and resented in her heart, hated that and resented her biological father who had never met.

The car turned into a small road and drove into a more luxurious community, in fact, Xia Wei was not the first time to come, she walked downstairs familiarly, looked up at the newly built high-rise building, and couldn't tell whether it was uncomfortable or excited, anyway, from now on, the new house with a large living room and a large room is her new home.

A few people stopped on the fifth floor with their luggage, and saw at the door of the house, a very handsome boy about 1.8 meters tall, with fluffy hair and loose clothes, standing there on a pair of flip-flops.

"What is the pestle doing there? Don't come and help yet! Shao Haoxiang said to the boy.

The boy who came back to his senses hurriedly went to pick up the luggage in his father's hand, but Shao Haoxiang dodged him and kicked him on the ass: "I don't have the ability to see things, don't you see that Weiwei needs help?" ”

Regarding the matter of kicking his ass, the boy looked at his father complainingly, can he leave some image? Turning his head a little awkwardly, he took the suitcase in Xia Wei's hand, and then turned around and entered the door.

Xia Wei looked at her empty hand with some embarrassment, and suddenly realized that the boy turned out to be Shao Haoxiang's son, named Shao Yuming, she always knew that Shao Haoxiang had a son, because he had been raised by his grandparents before, so she had never seen it, but she didn't expect that the first time she and her cheap brother met like this.

After working for most of the day, Xia Wei washed off her body and collapsed on the bed, her little face rubbed and rubbed on the comfortable and soft big bed, the comfortable fabric made her sigh for a while, and after a while, she stood up and walked to the window and looked at the night scene.

Looking from a distance from the windowsill, the night that belongs to Z City is gathered in the bottom of the eye, and it is really standing high and seeing far away, the night view of Z City is really beautiful!

"There are many stories in the small town, full of joy and joy~"

The singing voice from nowhere broke into Xia Wei's thoughts, she was slightly stunned, and looked up in the direction of County D, are there many stories in the small town? Actually, there are quite a few in the old city.
