Ten years ago.

Qinghe City.

Chen Qingwu stood on the side of the road, looking at a barbecue stall a few meters away, and tightened the strap of his schoolbag.

She had just escaped from the Children's Palace in the make-up class, and she was so hungry that her chest was close to her back, and she originally planned to buy two skewers of baked oil gluten to satisfy her hunger, but at this time she was in a bit of a dilemma.

"Where's the money? I clearly remember that I just received a fifty denomination, why didn't I have it? ”

A shrill female voice cuts through the deserted street.

"I advise you to take it out now, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind...... We are just uncles and aunts, for you to eat and live, and you are not satisfied? Now that your hands are in our pockets, do you have a conscience? ”

"Sure enough, dragons give birth to dragons, phoenixes give birth to phoenixes, and the sons of mice are only worthy of making holes."

The proprietress of the barbecue stall was half-rolled in her apron with one hand, and pointed at a boy in a school uniform with the other, frantically out.

"Hey, forget it, did you read it wrong just now because you were too busy?" The round boss is on the sidelines to advise.

"Am I wrong? Have I missed money once in so many years? Why was it wrong for him to come today? In short, it is a bloodline inheritance, his father stole things and went to prison, how can you expect him to be above board? ”

The boy's back was facing in the direction of Chen Qingwu, and his clear back, under the shadow of the dim street lights, was as thin as a few lines sketched by a master, giving birth to a kind of embarrassment of being isolated and helpless.

Chen Qingwu obviously had just experienced something terrible, the state of the mud bodhisattva crossing the river, but she felt uneasy not to make a move, she thought about it, and strode towards the barbecue stall.

"Hello, two skewers of toasted oil gluten."

"Huh! Ok, good, good! Wait a minute! The proprietress who was still fierce just now immediately changed her smiling face.

She took a fan to fan the charcoal flame, took out two strings of oil gluten from the foam box and put them on the barbecue grill.

"Spicy?"

"Don't eat it."

"Huh! Then I'll not give you hot sauce later! ”

"Okay, cough ......" Chen Qingwu pretended to be choked by the smoke, moved a step to the side, took the opportunity to bow his head, and let out a soft exhalation: "Auntie, there is a fifty yuan here!" Did you lose it? ”

As soon as these words came out, the proprietress was stunned.

The boy who had been facing away from Chen Qingwu also turned his head suddenly, but he didn't look at the money on the ground at first glance, but fell on Chen Qingwu.

In the early summer of May, the boys' eyes are like a cold stream, clear but cold.

"I'll just say, this money can't be taken by Xiao Cheng, you see, it's not here!" The fat boss immediately came over, picked up the money at Chen Qingwu's feet, and stuffed it into the hands of the proprietress of the boss, "Take it well, don't drop it again." ”

The smile on the hostess's face was a little stiff, and she haphazardly stuffed the money into the pocket of her apron and didn't say anything more.

"Don't you apologize?" Chen Qingwu looked at the proprietress .

"What apologies?" The hostess asked.

"Shouldn't you apologize if you have wronged someone?"

Chen Qingwu was sixteen years old that year, with freckles on his face, bright eyes, and a kind of righteousness and stubbornness that did not understand the world.

The proprietress was embarrassed by her question.

Chen Qingwu thought that if she wasn't a customer, the proprietress would probably be crazy on the spot, but thanks to the blessing of these two sticks of oil gluten, she carried the aura of God.

"Yes, yes, you have to apologize, how uncomfortable it is to wronged people out of thin air." Fat boss out and muddy.

The proprietress was about to pull down her face, but because of Chen Qingwu's presence, she reluctantly said "I'm sorry".

The boy didn't speak, turned around and walked away.
