Running away from home without a plan will turn you into headless flies, and even put yourself and Xia Yuan in great danger, becoming a clumsy way to put the cart before the horse.

Therefore, Mei Fang's runaway fight set the specific direction of running away from home from the beginning.

That is Xia Yuan's grandmother's house in Jiangcheng.

During this time, they will disappear for about 10 hours, which is enough to cause concern for parents, and the impact is relatively manageable.

can't solve the problem of his parents and go to the closest grandmother for help, in a sense, it is also in line with Xia Yuan's line of action,

By the way, he can also clear the suspicion of "elopement" with Xia Yuan.

Because of the fear of variables, the plan to run away from home did not last long, and the planned departure time was the next morning.

He asked Xia Yuan to find a small suitcase that he didn't use at home the night before, secretly stuffed all the things he had prepared and put them in the suitcase, and hid them first.

The next day at school time, the three of them made an appointment to meet first to make sure that there were no accidents in the plan.

"It seems that you are also ready......" Mei Fang stared at the blue beret on Xia Yuan's head for a while, "You don't usually wear a hat to go out, and you deliberately wear a hat today?" ”

"Is it conspicuous?"

Xia Yuan was surprised, "I just wore a hat for fear of being recognized." ”

"Not really, I think the hat looks good."

"Hee-hee-hee......"

Xia Yuan subconsciously flicked his hat.

"The letter from running away from home was also written last night, right?"

Xia Yuan nodded, "It's written." ”

"I don't have anything special to prepare here......

Lin Youxi took Xia Yuan's hand and said seriously to Mei Fang, "Xia Yuan is easy to be deceived, Mei Fang, you have to protect her." ”

"Don't think of me so naïvely, isn't it?"

Xia Yuan was dissatisfied, "Isn't it just to go to Jiangcheng to find my grandma, I often go there during the summer vacation, so it's not impossible to treat it as a tour......

Take a trip......

Xia Yuan and the others did not have Mei Fang's perspective of the afterlife, so they couldn't imagine the serious consequences of this incident at all.

He's the only one worrying about the kid.

Mei Fang sighed, "Considering that your mother's time to go out should be about the same, let's go to your house and get the luggage." ”

"Uh-huh, good!"

Mei Fang Xia Yuan said goodbye to Lin Youxi, and then returned home.

In 2005, the train tickets were also real-name system, and minors without ID cards could not get on the train at all, but the bus had not yet popularized ID card checking, Mei Fang and Xia Yuan took the bus to the bus station, saying that they were brothers and sisters to visit relatives in Jiangcheng, and easily bought tickets.

Because it was a weekday, the bus to Jiangcheng was not full.

Mei Fang asked Xia Yuan to get on the train first, and he put his luggage in the carriage below.

After Xia Yuan got into the car, he found a window seat, kept pulling the window to find Mei Fang's figure, and watched Mei Fang appear in the field of vision before sitting down with peace of mind.

Before Mei Fang got into the car, he bought a box of small biscuits at the commissary and handed them to Xia Yuan.

"I haven't eaten breakfast yet, cushion my stomach."

"Uh-huh......"

Xia Yuan carefully unpacked the bag so as not to make an unnecessary sound, he glanced at the passengers around him, and after making sure that no one's eyes were paying attention to them, he began to chew the biscuits gently.

She just ate one or two pieces and gave them to Mei Fang, and she kept looking out the window.

As if waiting for someone to show up.

The roar of the bus engine sounded, the car started slowly, Xia Yuan lowered his head, and finally asked Mei Fangdao in a low voice:

"Are we going too far this time? Why Mom and Dad are so worried about us...... I'm a little uncomfortable. ”

"It's too late to get the driver to stop."

"That's not what I meant!"

Xia Yuan took Mei Fang's hand, "When I wrote last night, I also thought a lot, thinking about whether if I persuaded my father for a while, he would agree to my idea of selling the hotel, or tell my mother that she could give up the idea of divorce......"

"And then?"

"Hmm...... I knew it wasn't possible. ”

Xia Yuan smiled and shook his head, "Just like I told you before, Dad only knew about work and entertainment after I went to elementary school, I think he took me to the playground to play, and he never took me to it once." When I went to my grandmother's house for the summer vacation, my mother and I went together. ”

"Dad, mom and mom actually quarreled a lot a long time ago, they just showed affection in front of everyone."

"And ...... In front of me. ”

Xia Yuan lowered his head and struggled for a while, then looked out the window.

"They always quarrel behind closed bedroom doors, and sometimes it's too loud, and I can actually hear it outside, but I just pretend not to know."

"Why pretend you don't know?"

Xia Yuan said softly, "Because they want me not to know, and I don't want them to be sad." ”

"That's ......"

Mei Fang was thoughtful, and his opinion of Xia Yuan also changed a little.

Xia Yuan is a well-behaved and sensible child.

But in other words, she is also a child who is always trying to respond to her parents' expectations.

Her idol baggage is not simply to maintain her beautiful image.

It's more to not disgrace your parents and live up to their parents' expectations.

Listening to Xia Yuan tell his thoughts, Mei Fang's hand unconsciously put on Xia Yuan's head and rubbed it gently.

"What are you doing...... You! ”

Xia Yuan stared at Mei Fangdao angrily, "I said don't touch my head like an adult, how many years have this habit not changed, knock you?" ”

Although he can say disgusting words in his mouth, Mei Fang has been touching it for many years, and Xia Yuan has long been no longer disgusted with such behavior.

"I didn't expect you to work so hard all the time......"

Mei Fang smiled slightly, "At least, you can relax in front of me." I won't tell you what it should be like, or what you want. ”

Xia Yuan raised his head and looked at Mei Fang, his eyes blinked, and his pupils flashed with beautiful brilliance.

"It's the first time anyone has told me that."

"That means, you're pretending to be in front of me, aren't you?"

"I think about it...... Even if you're alone, you really care about your image......"

Xia Yuan chattered while enjoying Mei Fang's touch.

Soon, she fell asleep on Mei Fang's arm.

The bus ran smoothly and soon arrived in Jiangcheng from Baimei County.

Xia Yuan's grandmother's family lives in the countryside of Jiangcheng, and she has to change trains after arriving in Jiangcheng.

But after all, it took more than 4 hours to take a car from Baimei County, and the journey was tiring, and the two were not in a hurry to hurry again.

After breathing in the air of the provincial city for a while, Mei Fang turned his head to look at Xia Yuan:

"Let's go have lunch first, what do you want to eat?"

I saw Xia Yuan jumping forward with light steps behind his back and leaning towards Mei Fang's cheek, smiling at him.

She looked a little excited, and her previous worries about her loved ones no longer interfered with her feelings about running away from home.

"Mei Fang, I will always remember what you said, right?"

"Specifically......"

"I can do whatever I want in front of you, be my true self, you won't care, you won't dislike it, right?"

Mei Fang nodded: "Well, be yourself." ”

"So, it's rare to come to Jiangcheng so far, so I must eat some junk food that my parents would never have taken me to eat before!"

Xia Yuanba snorted, and then stuck out his tongue mischievously.
