......

Gu Heng and Lee Jong-hoon stopped in front of a house.

The house is a bit old, and the side walls resembling sand and stone are still clinging to green vines, which are verdant and lovely.

Li Zhongxun turned around and looked at Gu Heng, "Brother, it's here." ”

Gu Heng snorted, with some nostalgia on his face, "Did you buy it back in the past few years?" ”

"Of course not," Lee Jong-hoon shook his head vigorously, "Five or six years ago, after the situation at home improved, I moved back as soon as possible." ”

"I see." The corners of Gu Heng's mouth hooked.

Rubbing his thumb on the side of his index finger, Gu Heng took a deep breath to sort out his emotions, and took a step forward past Li Zhongxun to the door.

When he first arrived at this house thirteen years ago, he had to stand on tiptoe to reach the doorbell, but now he can reach out and hold it......

Ding dong!

Before the door could be opened, a middle-aged woman's voice had already arrived.

"Lee Jong-hoon, you don't make people worry, why did you go home so late? Forgot to bring your keys when you left the house in the morning? Why don't you just forget your own mind at home? ”

Gu Heng turned his head to look at Li Zhongxun.

The teenager, who was at the height of his self-esteem in his life, bowed his head in embarrassment.

There was a click, and the door opened.

Gu Heng turned his face back and made eye contact with the middle-aged woman with hot instant noodle curly hair and a spatula in her hand.

Gu Heng bowed down slightly and greeted the woman, "Aunt Jingshu, long time no see." ”

He Jingshu's lips moved, but she was quiet for a few seconds before she finally spoke, "...... Xiao Heng. ”

After spitting out three words, her voice was already a little choked.

The corners of Gu Heng's mouth hooked up a smile, and he said softly, "Yes, Aunt Jingshu, it's me." ”

With a thud, the spatula in the middle-aged woman's hand slipped to the ground.

......

"Brother, what have you been doing all these years?"

"Isn't it working now?"

"Do you have a girlfriend?"

Gu Heng had already ignored the noise of the young man in his ears, but when he heard the last sentence, he couldn't help but want to give this kid's head a look.

Facing Gu Heng's dangerous eyes, Li Zhongxun shrunk his neck and smiled.

"Lee Jong-hoon, take your brother back to his room to put the suitcase first, don't know where to ask." Ha Jingshu, who was washing fruit in the kitchen, gave Lee Jong-hoon an "order".

"Got it, got it!"

Li Zhongxun pulled the suitcase, took Gu Heng to the second floor, and pushed open a small room.

"It's clean, isn't it?" Li Zhongxun turned his head to Gu Heng and asked, with a little "sneer" on his face.

Looking at the familiar furnishings in the house, Gu Heng's heart warmed slightly, but he said with a smile, "It seems that you kid cleaned it up for me." ”

Lee Jong-hoon's expression suddenly froze on his face, and he muttered, "It's not that I don't want to, it's that I was robbed by that woman, okay......"

Touching the small objects on the wooden cabinet with his fingertips, Gu Heng asked without looking back, "It sounds like our Zhong Xun seems to have a lot of dissatisfaction with his sister." ”

"Brother, you don't know! Ever since you left, the woman has been ...... to me and to me."

"What about you?" Gu Heng looked back at him curiously and amusedly.

"She bullied me because she was a few years older than me!" Lee Jong-hoon was both ashamed and indignant.

"Oh so, is that girl so excessive?"

"Of course!" Lee Jong-hoon nodded frantically, "Threaten me with deduction of my pocket money at every turn!" And let me keep an account and report every money! ”

"Withhold your pocket money?" Gu Heng was slightly stunned, "Didn't Aunt Jingshu and Uncle Zhong Xin give your pocket money now?" ”

"Uh-huh." Lee Jong-hoon nodded dejectedly.

"That girl, that's all now...... Twenty years old, right? It's really an eldest sister's style. ”

imagined the scene of the "dispute" between the two sisters and brothers, Gu Heng couldn't help laughing, "Okay, that girl should be at the age of college at this time, and your pocket money will be taken from me in the future." ”

"Huh? May I?! Li Zhongxun grabbed Gu Heng's arm as soon as he could, and he almost jumped up.

"Or else? You can't let us keep taking money from my sister who hasn't earned an income all the time, right? ”

"Forehead......" Lee Jong-hoon's face suddenly became tangled, "Actually, she is not a ...... without income"

"What? Is that girl still working while going to school? Gu Heng suddenly felt a little distressed.

"Part-time job...... I guess it's a part-time job. Lee Jong-hoon silently analyzed the meaning of the word part-time job in his heart, and replied in a tangled manner.

"What does it mean to be a part-time job?" Gu Heng's tone was suspicious.

"Hey, anyway, my brother will find out soon!"

Lee Jong-hoon really didn't know how to explain this question in a short period of time.

Gu Heng frowned and hesitated for a moment before pressing the question for the time being.

Although I don't know what kind of medicine Lee Jong-hoon sells in the gourd, judging from his previous words, it shouldn't be a big problem.

Gu Heng continued to push his suitcase to the corner of the room, but when he turned around, he caught a glimpse of a small iron box on the bedside table.

"What is this?" Gu Heng approached and took it in his hand.

"It's something you didn't have time to take with you at that time," Lee Jong-hoon explained casually, "Didn't the three of us stay at a relative's house before you left?" Some of your things that you didn't have time to take with you were put away by my Nuna. ”

"She's really hearted."

"That's not it, in her eyes, her brother is her own brother, and her brother is the younger brother who picked it up." Lee Jong-hoon complained unceremoniously.

"When your sister comes home, I hope your mouth is still so hard."

"Huh? Isn't this a brother? Lee Jong-hoon's eyes widened, and he suddenly felt that the backer he had re-found was not too solid.

Gu Heng chuckled casually while opening the iron box, "I'll only stay for two or three months at most when I come here this time, but I can't cover ......."

But before the last word could be spoken, his voice stopped abruptly.

His eyes fell on the iron box, and Gu Heng looked slightly confused.

Most of the things stored in the tin box are small items left over from his high school days, and there is nothing unusual.

Apart from...... A pale pink letterhead.

The passage of time has faded a lot of the color on the envelope.

Although it is old, the seal is smooth, and it has obviously not been opened by a girl.

"Eh, brother, this is ......" Lee Jong-hoon's eyes lit up, "Love letter, right?" ”

His voice was a little shrill as he said the last two words.

Gu Heng looked at this guy with some headaches, "I said, can't you just be quiet?" ”

"Hehe, I think it must be, but my sister always won't let me take it apart and take a look, obviously she wants to see it herself."

Gu Heng directly knocked on the kid's head, and then looked at the letterhead again, his brows furrowed slightly.

Certain memories from many years ago, little by little in his mind pieced together into a complete shape.

After a moment's hesitation, his fingertips landed on the sealing line of the envelope.

"Gu Heng!"

A gruff voice suddenly came from downstairs.
