Xiao Yao's bedroom was in the morning, as if the time that had been silent for a long time had been awakened. This room had been empty for more than a year, and a thick layer of dust covered every corner. Sunlight poured through the stained curtains, bringing a faint warmth to the room.

The room is littered with memories of its past owners, but now only a few abandoned personal belongings remain. An empty bookshelf stood aside, a small number of books scattered on the floor, and the corners of the pages were yellowed.

A few rags were piled up in the corner, the empty closet door was open, only a few lonely old clothes were left on the hangers, and almost everything had been removed.

In the corner of the bedroom is a bed, which used to be Xiao Yao's comfortable resting place, but now only bare patchwork of wooden planks remains. There were no sheets on the bed, only a young girl curled up in a blanket, her body trembling slightly, her brow slightly furrowed, as if experiencing some kind of uneasiness in her dreams.

The pillow rested gently against the head of the bed, resting under the girl's skull, and the room was filled with the silence of the years, and the air was full of gloomy breath.

On one side of the wall is a poster of Jackie Chan, which has been rolled up, and on the other side of the wall (that is, next to the bed) there are fancy posters of football stars, printed and standing paintings of Zhao Ling'er, tape lyrics of old wolves, album covers, and so on.

"Why did you come here to sleep?" Xiao Yao leaned against the door of the small bedroom and asked with a smile.

Yu Luying ignored him and was still asleep.

Xiao Yao stepped forward, sat on the edge of the bed, and shook the girl's arm: "Why did you come here to sleep?" ”

The girl opened her eyes slightly, and when she saw that it was him, her body trembled violently and bounced.

Then, wrapped in a blanket, curled up in the corner.

？

"What are you doing?" Xiao Yao was stunned, inexplicable, and reached out to stroke her hair.

The girl's neck shrank down, dodging the boy's palm.

"What are you doing?!" Xiao Yao was a little angry.

Yu Luying's body began to swing slightly, and her eyes looked like a panicked little animal.

"Morning," the two of them stalemate for a while, and the girl spoke, "Can you go out first, I want to change my clothes." ”

"You" are all out?

"Okay," Xiao Yao said patiently, "Whatever you want to eat for breakfast, I'll buy it for you." ”

Yu Luying's head shook like a wave.

"Then I'll buy it casually." Xiao Yao stood up and walked towards the bedroom door.

When he walked to the door, he heard Yu Luying's timid voice from behind him: "Burn, burn cakes." ”

Xiao Yao endured the headache caused by the hangover, put on two clothes and went out, called a rickshaw at the gate of the party school, and went to the baked cake shop yesterday to ask for 5 deluxe processed baked cakes and two bowls of salted tofu brain.

"The little girl who ordered 100 baked cakes yesterday was with you, right?" The lean man squatted down and picked up the cardboard box on the ground: "Just get it for you, right?" ”

"The money has been paid, right?"

"It's paid."

Xiao Yao held this heavy box of baked cakes, thinking that it was a bit redundant for him to buy earlier.

He hadn't gone far before he felt that it was not worth walking with so many baked cakes, and when he was looking around for the rickshaw, suddenly, a memory struck him like lightning.

Xiao Yao put the box containing the baked cakes on the ground, and the person also squatted down, holding his temples with both hands.

Yesterday...... Night......

It seems like...... Such...... That'......

It's broken, no wonder she looks dead in the morning?!

She shouldn't have been left alone at home.

"Dude, are you alright?" A man asked him in Dongru words, and squatted down and shook his arm.

"It's okay, it's okay." Xiao Yao shook his head again and again, revealing a grateful smile.

If this is on the streets of the magic capital, there is a high probability that no one will ask him, right?

Xiao Yao stood up and was in a hurry to rush back, but his mobile phone suddenly rang.

Is it Shen Jie?

The two big stones in Xiao Yao's heart landed on one of them.

The boy reached out for his phone and looked at the screen.

…… WDNM, Yu Lihua!

Although Xiao Yao did not note her name on her phone number, he will never forget this string of numbers.

Why did you call me? Could it be that Yu Luying sued her about last night?

Even women can't be so irrational, right?

"Don't take it, believe me, go back and make a confession with Yu Luying first, otherwise the goofs will be completely finished!" The long-lost red figure came out of Xiao Yao's feet, he raised his sharp steel fork, and poked Xiao Yao's right finger down, poking painfully.

"Take it, trust me, no matter what happens, playing dead at this time will only make things worse." The white-clothed villain also appeared on Xiao Yao's shoulder, and he dipped a drop of sweat from the corner of Xiao Yao's forehead with the whip in his hand, and threw it into Xiao Yao's shocked eyes mockingly.

Ah! Xiao Yao was stung in the eyes by sweat, he hurriedly raised his hand to rub it, but heard Yu Lihua's voice in the earpiece outside the mobile phone.

"Hello? Xiao Yao? Can you hear me? ”

Exercise! If you don't take it now, you have to take it.

He picked up the phone, put it to his ear, and tried his best to clip out an emotional tone: "Ah~ Auntie, it's me, good morning, what's the matter?" ”

"Is Ying Ying with you?" Yu Lihua asked with her head covered her face.

"Ah~ Auntie, she's not with me." Xiao Yao hid in the shadows on the side of the road, threw the box of cakes that hurt his hands on the ground again, looked around, and thought that this was not a lie.

"Where the hell did she spend the night last night? Why don't you answer my phone? Yu Lihua asked.

The red-clothed villain crawled into Xiao Yao's ear: "It seems that Yu Luying and her mother don't know anything." Believe me, you will be perfunctory first, let her rest assured, you hurry back and confess to Yu Luying, as long as Yu Luying doesn't expose it, it's fine, if she exposes, she has to get in, and you won't lose! ”

The white-clothed villain jumped up, whipped Xiao Yao's calf, and scolded, "How do you know that she is not testing you?" Trust me, your answer represents your attitude towards the relationship. This kind of thing, it doesn't matter if it happens or not, a positive and sincere attitude is the most important! ”

"Hello? Xiao Yao? Are you still there? Can you hear me? Yu Lihua's voice was a little anxious.

"Ah~ Auntie, that, Yu Luying stayed in the hotel yesterday, I'll call her over and ask her to call you back later?"

"Xiao Yao, you don't have to be so polite to me as an aunt. I was in the hotel just now, and no one opened the door after knocking for a long time, and I couldn't understand what people in your place were talking about. ”

Xiao Yao listened to Yu Lihua's words, and was petrified on the spot.

"Ah~Auntie, are you in Dong~Dongru~?"

A rickshaw saw a large pile of things at Xiao Yao's feet, and was sweating on the phone again, and stopped in front of him empathetically.

"Didn't I say the day before yesterday that I was coming, and I came to see your hometown. Hey, I see you still have rickshaws here, where is your home? I'll take a rickshaw. ”

Rickshaw?

"Ah~ Auntie, where are you now? Is it still at Yingying's hotel? ”

"I'm not in the hotel anymore, Yingying said that the baked cakes here are delicious, I found a baked cake shop, and I will bring you a few later."

Looking back in the direction of the rickshaw, there was the stall selling biscuits in the distance, and a crowd had gathered in front of the stall.

At the edge of the crowd, there was a woman wearing a cheongsam and a parasol, talking on the phone.

Xiao Yao narrowed his eyes, and his heart was like water.

"Ah~ Auntie, you stand here and don't move, I'll go over." Xiao Yao hurriedly hung up the phone after speaking, and then hurriedly dialed Yu Luying.

“……”

“……”

“……”

"Auntie, ancestor, you really don't answer the phone?!"

Xiao Yao couldn't get through Yu Luying's phone, so he picked up the box of baked cakes and rushed home.

Along the way, his talent as a loyal reader of "The Emperor of Science Fiction" for many years began to diverge again.

He realized that Yu Luying was probably no longer in the party school.

She must have been annoyed by what had happened last night, so she spent her money on breakfast, then ran away from home.

Wait, if you want to run, why didn't you run last night and wait until the morning?

Ah, yes, it must be because the party school can't be opened at night.

No, there is a symbiotic distance, and she can't run anywhere.

Will you go to the police? What kind of attempt did I say?

Even without considering the influence of feelings, from a purely symbiotic point of view, calling the police is a very irrational behavior.

But ...... expect a woman to be rational forever?

Xiao Yao really doesn't have such a lot of confidence.

At that moment, he heard a terrible siren in the distance.

The siren was quite far away at first heard, and it was quickly approaching in its own direction.

Xiao Yao looked around nervously, his heart began to flutter, and he was uneasy.

No way......?

The boy's ideas became more and more outrageous, and he began to laugh at his theatrical imagination for being too rich.

As the siren gradually approached, Xiao Yao's nervousness unconsciously increased.

He subconsciously tried to find a way to escape, but his legs were firmly planted on the ground, and he couldn't move a step.

His heart was racing, and every siren tensed his nerves.

Eventually, a police car rushed in from a distance, and the siren became louder and louder.

However, when the police car finally whizzed by, he felt a wave of weak ridicule welling up in his heart.

Xiao Yao secretly laughed at his overly dramatic thoughts, realizing that he was a little nervous. He breathed a sigh of relief, shook his head, and told himself not to be drawn away by emotions again - he had to calm down and concentrate on solving the problem at hand.

As soon as he made up his mind, he was so frightened by Yu Lihua's life-chasing call that he almost dropped his phone on the ground.

"Xiao Yao, do you only have one baked cake shop in Dongru? How do you know where I am? What are you asking me to wait for? I think you spoke strangely today, and Yingying didn't answer the phone, is there something you are hiding from me?! Let me tell you that Yingying has a good one, I fought with you, do you know how to fight? ”

This cannon-like sharp voice made Xiao Yao's brain, which had not yet fully sobered up from the hangover, feel particularly painful.

"Ah~ Auntie, it's okay, it's really okay, I'm going to be there soon, did you see me? I'm waving at you—don't you look into the distance, isn't there a bridge? Tonghai Bridge, the top of the bridge, yes, I'm holding a big cardboard box. Xiao Yao had no choice but to turn around again, holding the heavy box of baked cakes with one hand, staggering, and waving warmly to Yu Lihua in the distance.

……

Seeing Xiao Yao, Yu Lihua was quite surprised.

"It turns out that your house is right in front of you, it's a crooked hit."

"No, Dongru's baked cake stall is the most famous one, as soon as you say it, I will know where you are."

"Ah, Xiao Yao, why did you buy so many baked cakes?"

"I didn't buy it, I ordered it yesterday Yingying, and I just helped her get it today - she said this is very delicious and wants to buy it back for you to eat."

"Yingying bought it for me? There are so many places where you can finish eating, and you can't give them away. This girl didn't say hello to me, I bought it here, and I bought more on purpose, I bought twenty of them, I'll go and return it. ”

"Don't mind...... It's hot, I'll just eat it. ”

"Why can't you return it, boss? I haven't touched it, it's still hot? Doesn't it prevent you from selling to others again? It's good if you return me a whole number, don't want a fraction. ”

"Mom! We can—Auntie! Let's not be ashamed, can we? ”

“？ …… Okay, okay, Xiao Yao, I'm a townsman here with you, I listen to you, if you don't return, you won't return, and it's not that 20 yuan. Come on, come on, Auntie will help you get it together. ”

"No need Auntie - well, thank you Auntie. Auntie, why did you suddenly think of coming? Don't come and tell us. ”

"Oh, I was going to come with you from the beginning, you two minors, where can I rest assured? It's not that I'm delayed by things at school, you see, as soon as it's over, I'll come over quickly. Xiao Yao, Ying Ying said that the roof of your house is also leaking? ”

"Oh, yes before, it was just fixed last night, haha, haha. Auntie, this summer vacation, can there be anything else at school? ”

"That's not it, the Chinese medicine seminar, I have to ...... Quack, quaa, ......quaa,

"Auntie, this way."

"Party school? You live in a party school? ”

"Aang."

"Your parents are in the way?"

"Aang."

……

"Shuyi!"

"Brother Yaoyao! Sister Yingying—Ah, I'm sorry. ”

"Yo, this little girl looks smart. Who is it? ”

"Hey, the old neighbor's niece, she asked Lu Ying for her homework when she first came."

Xiao Yao took Yu Lihua to stand in front of his house, as if facing his death sentence.

He lowered his head, deliberately looking and looking in a large set of keys, looking and searching, delaying half a second is half a second, and living one more second is a second.

Is Yu Luying still in this door?

If she's here, it's like we've been living together for the past two days, right? How can I explain to Yu Lihua to appease her righteous anger?

If she's not there, she'll be mad at me and run away, right?

Somehow, Xiao Yao remembered the day Shen Hongsheng came to raid the house, and Shen Jie happened to move to the mirror because of awkwardness, thus escaping the catastrophe.

Should I wish she was there, or should I wish she wasn't?
