Early in the morning, I was traveling in full gear and bumped into Xu Chen under my apartment building.

He was pacing back and forth with his head hanging and carrying a paper bag, and he didn't know how long he had been hanging around.

"Xu Chen." I called out to him, and he looked up in response, smiling softly with crooked eyebrows.

"Early in the morning, why are you here?"

"My place of work is near here." He explained, and handed me the paper bag in his hand, "I happened to pass by here, and I saw a seller selling oil cakes, and I remembered that you like to eat it, so I bought you one." ”

I was stunned and didn't pick him up right away.

He withdrew his hand with an embarrassed expression: "It's too cold, it's cold." ”

Before his hand was completely weak, I took the paper bag.

"Thank you." I say.

Xu Chen smiled brightly.

I walked to the bus platform, and so did he. We're all in this together.

Xu Chenzhang looked around: "Actually, there is not much change here, the tennis hall is still there, the relief is still there, I remember when I was a child, I had to go for a run with my father every morning, and I came back just in time for the breakfast car to go out of the stall, you love to eat their home-made egg scones, add more chili peppers." I'd buy two breakfasts, stand downstairs and shout at you twice, and you'd poke your head out of the window and say, 'Come on, come on.'" A few moments later, you appeared around the corner of the stairs, and we both took the bus to school with egg scones. In addition to egg scones, you also like fried fritters, be sure to choose fried golden brown, bite down and make a crispy sound, you say that's the sound of luck. ”

Xu Chen's memories are emotional.

I know that this memory has been embellished.

All the past has been warmed up with a different kind of warmth.

Before Xu Chen's father rose to the top and left here completely, Xu Chen and I were neighbors who could "smell each other" by pushing the window. Our shared upbringing made us know and understand each other's hearts like a mirror. Communication can be achieved by simply blinking or beckoning.

However, I don't have that anymore. I think even if it wasn't for the accident that I would never forget. As we drift farther and farther away, we will gradually lose the miracle that seems to be in our hands.

"You're all right. How did you start working so quickly? I cut off his long affection.

"Hmm. I am fine. I consciously control the intensity of my work, and I will never experience over-fatigue again. I will definitely live a long and long life. ”

"It has to be." I nodded vigorously, and then asked, "What about Xiao Yu, is she okay?" ”

"I now offer floral pieces for a hotel. They opened a room for me to live in. I am now staying in the hotel. ”

"Xu Chen......"

Xu Chen interrupted me: "The bus is coming, you take 498, right, I happen to take 498 too." Let's do it together. ”

Not far away, bus No. 498 slowly slid into the platform.

"No, I'm not going to work today. I made an appointment with Su Weining. ”

After 498, I'm going to take the 596 road.

"My car is here too. Good bye. I waved goodbye to Xu Chen and quickly boarded the bus I was about to take. I deliberately didn't look out the window and quickly found an empty seat to sit in.

I clenched the envelope in my pocket.

The envelope contained a bank savings card.

It was the purpose of my visit to Su Weining today.

I've sold the shares in my securities account in batches and transferred the money back to my bank card.

I am now sure that this money is the operating fund that I promised Luo Bing as the welfare home. I didn't have time to give it and I had an accident, and Lu Zhaochuan helped Luo Bing for me. Therefore, the money in my hand belongs to Lu Zhaochuan, and I should return it to him.

Before, Ritsu Zhaochuan always said that I owed him. I was still at a loss. Now I finally know what is going on......

I asked Su Weining to meet at a restaurant near his house.

I arrived first, he came later.

As soon as Su Weining sat down, I pushed the envelope containing the bank card to him: "This is for Lu Zhaochuan." Please give it to him for me. ”

Su Weining picked up the envelope from the table, checked it, and said with a smile: "Ha, it's quite thick, there are 10,000 words of affection in it." ”

I was about to explain when my pocket phone rang, and when I took it out, it was Sister Liu calling.

Sister Liu reminded me on the phone that today is the deadline for the painting competition, and she asked me if the paintings were sent.

I exclaimed, thumping my forehead in frustration: "I forgot." I've been running around so busy these days that I've forgotten about it. ”

"Have you finished drawing?"

"It's done. I was at my desk for the painting and the registration form. ”

Sister Liu said: "I saw it, don't worry, I'll help you express it to the organizer." ”

"Thank you, Sister Liu."

I breathed a sigh of relief.

After ending the call with Sister Liu, another string of messages sounded urgently. Lowering his head, he saw the message sent by Xu Chen jump out of the screen.

Su Weining smiled on the other side and said, "Ah, sister, you're so busy." ”

I apologized to Su Weining, and crossed the message with my hand-

"I'm sorry, actually, I lied. I'm not stopping by, I'm here for you. Stars, I think, this is a new chance from God. I don't want to miss it anymore. Could you please allow me to do it all over again? Please don't decide my heart for me, don't push me away. ”

Read Xu Chen's information. My fingers lingered on the touchscreen keyboard for a long time. It's not good not to reply, but I'm like an aphasia, I can't type a word. After staring at the blank bar for a long time, I was a little upset, and I pressed the phone screen to make an ostrich.

"Huh." On the other side, Su Weining let out an ambiguous sneer. I looked up and saw that he was quietly retracting the neck he had been stretching out earlier. I also grabbed the corner of his mouth with an inexplicable glance.

Obviously, he saw all the information sent by Xu Chen.

"You seem, very opinionated?" I'll pick it out directly.

"The sister in my memory is not such a no-brainer person."

"Then maybe your memory is wrong." I'm calm.

Outside the window, above the cement power poles, are staggered high-voltage wires. The black lines cut the scenery into pieces.

"When you see the wire, do you think it's ugly, messy, and affects the city's appearance? However, it's not so easy to sort it out. It is necessary to consider whether the replacement cost is appropriate, whether the material is safe, and whether it will cause inconvenience to the people around you during construction. You see, things that are simple on the surface are actually very complicated. ”

Su Weining stared at me and asked without answering: "Sister, can't you forgive Chuan?" ”

He stopped me and I couldn't answer.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, and today my sister is in for a treat. I did my homework when I chose this restaurant, and everyone said that the cakes here were very good, so order one? "I started talking to him.

Su Weining suddenly turned positive: "I like my sister." ”

"Uh......" I froze.

What kind of trick is this......

Su Weining smiled slyly and added the second half of the sentence: "I like you as if you were my own sister." ”

I couldn't help but get up when I felt that I was being teased, raised my hand and patted his head: "Stinky boy! ”

I am very grateful to be treated so sincerely by Su Weining.

So, I also responded: "Thank you." I like you very much, too. I like you like you like my own brother. ”

"Do you know how it was like when I saw you again at the Chuan family? It felt like my heart was about to burst out. Agitated? Move? No, it's more exciting than excited, more moving than moving, it seems to be stronger than any kind of emotion, it's like witnessing a miracle! ”

Marvel......

Ye Chun also said the same thing.

"I also think it's a miracle that I survived and met you."

"But, that crazy man at Ritsu Zhaochuan, he doesn't think so." Su Weining stirred the coffee in his hand, and Ling Ling looked at me, "After you disappeared, we searched nearby and in the lower reaches of the river for several weeks, but we didn't find your whereabouts." Sister, don't be angry when I say this, although we don't want to believe it, but we also know in our hearts that the chance of you coming back is very low. After four weeks, we gave up the search. Probably, only Chuan, only the madman Ritsu Zhaochuan, he inexplicably believes that you are alive, he publishes a missing person notice in a newspaper in Licheng that almost no one reads, and he has never stopped looking for you. ”

The sense of pathos slowly rippled in my heart.

Su Weining's eyebrows and eyes were still crooked, and he smiled brightly.

"In his opinion, your return is not a miracle, but something that will happen naturally."

I bit my fingernails, and a stream of blood oozed through my fingers, and the pain was painful. I feigned composure and reached for the glass with trembling hands.

Su Weining finally commented: "Lu Zhaochuan, sometimes it is scary to be persistent. ”

The glass was poured, and hot water poured through my placket.

The day after I entrusted the card to Su Weining, I received a call from Su Weining.

On the phone, his voice was extremely aggrieved, and even brought a crying voice: "Sister, you hurt me, I thought you wrote a love letter to him, but it turned out to be a bank card with a password, he opened the envelope and found that it was a bank card, and directly threw the card envelope in my face." What do you think about giving money to someone who is not short of money? ”

I was speechless for a moment, and then explained: "The money was originally his, and I just want to return it to him." ”

"I don't know, I think you're despising his ability to make money." Su Weining couldn't hold back the ridicule.

I apologized: "I'm sorry. ”

"Ka is with me right now. I'll send it to you. ”

"No, no, no......"

I don't have the face to let Su Weining make a special trip for this.

"Don't waste your time. I'll go to your side after work. Then you can give it to me again. We also met at the same restaurant before. ”

"Good. I'll wait for you. Su Weining said.

After that, I didn't show up for the appointment.

Not intentionally, but, on the way to the appointment, I was ambushed.

As I passed through an alleyway, a hand suddenly reached out from my back and dragged me into the alley, covering my mouth and nose with a thick towel. The pungent smell of some strange chemical agent rushed into the abdominal cavity, and the limbs quickly paralyzed, as if it weren't mine.

No matter how desperately the fish out of the water struggles, it is in vain.

I rolled my eyes and fell to the ground.

It's weird. Before I completely lost consciousness, what I thought of was - fortunately, the bank card was with Su Weining, and they couldn't threaten me with the password with the card in one hand and a knife in the other, and then swept away the money through the ATM.

I guessed that I was ambushed because of that money, and I could even guess that the mastermind who ambushed me was Lin Xuanyan......
