1.

For as long as he can remember, Lou Ruan felt that his adoptive mother didn't like him very much, and he didn't want to see his adoptive father.

When she was very young, Xu Xuze had just been born, she went to the crib to see him, but when she turned around, she saw Zhou Ran showing a bored look.

It should be hating her, but it can't be hating her own son.

When I was relatively young, my adoptive father never came home, but he would occasionally appear, appear at the school gate, appear on the way home, and ask her what her mother was doing at home, whether she usually went out, and when she went out.

He would ask her how she was doing at home, if she was happy, if she wanted to live with her father, and if she had any difficulties, she would call her father.

Lou Ruan said every time that he didn't know, he was very happy, it was good to live with his mother and brother, and then go home by himself.

2.

The home was always quiet and quiet.

When my mother was there, no one in the house dared to speak loudly, and the TV was never turned on.

When she was young, she communicated with Xu Xuze relatively little.

When he saw her, he would always leave angrily and close the door angrily.

Lou Ruan had been trying hard to avoid him.

3.

Once after school, as soon as she opened the door, Xu Xuze leaned in the living room to watch TV.

The adoptive mother didn't know where she had gone, and the aunt was nowhere to be found, and he was the only one in the whole house.

Lou Ruan originally wanted to go upstairs quietly, but the person with the schoolbag had not walked a few steps, and the person sitting there watching TV suddenly turned his head leisurely.

The eyes are facing each other.

Lou Ruan: "......"

Don't know what to say.

Xu Xuze: "......"

Lou Ruan's hand holding the strap of the schoolbag tightened slightly, and said, "I'm back......

The person leaning on the sofa glanced at her, slowly turned his head, and said in a casual tone, "Oh." ”

Seeing him turn his head, Lou Ruan breathed a sigh of relief, and was about to go upstairs when he heard Xu Xuze speak again:

"It's stupid."

Lou Ruan raised his eyes, and his gaze fell on the back of his head.

He was watching TV very seriously.

It's supposed to be talking about characters on TV.

"Stupid!"

Lou Ruan pursed his lips, and was about to lift his feet to walk forward, when he saw someone coming down the stairs.

Mommy at home!

Xu Xuze, who was sitting on the sofa watching TV, didn't realize it, he looked at the TV screen and frowned, "It's so stupid, this bad guy ......"

Lou Ruan raised his eyes, glanced at the person who was slowly stepping down the steps, and coughed lightly.

Xu Xuze didn't realize that he even leaned forward, picked up the Coke on the coffee table and took two sips until Zhou Ran walked down and walked in front of them.

Lou Ruan lowered his head and retreated to the side very carefully.

Xu Xuze immediately stood up, picked up the remote control, and turned off the TV.

The room was completely silent.

Lou Ruan and Xu Xuze stood on the outside of the sofa and the other on the inside, bowing their heads together and not daring to speak.

No one dared to look up.

Zhou Ran was wearing a long silk skirt in aqua blue, and she crossed Lou Ruan, "It's really stupid." ”

Lou Ruan raised his head.

She looked up to see her adoptive mother's expression.

She lifted her chin, her aqua blue skirt lined her skin white, and her tone was calm and without any emotion: "Most of the bad guys in film and television dramas and cartoons are stupid, as if they can be seen at a glance as bad guys, and they can write me badly on their faces at any time." ”

"In fact, the bad guy is not only not low in IQ, but also gentlemanly and funny, amiable and empathetic."

4.

The house is so quiet.

Lou Ruan didn't dare to make a sound when eating.

Xu Xuze, who was beside her, kept his head down, chewing slowly, and didn't move at all.

Lou Ruan, who fried bamboo shoots on the dinner table, didn't like it, and Xu Xuze next to her didn't like it either, and she didn't move it again after picking up chopsticks at the beginning of the meal.

Zhou Ran, who was sitting in front of them, had not left his seat, and Lou Ruan raised his eyes to look at her.

The woman sitting in the main seat swept her gaze and said in a flat tone, "Don't like to eat?" ”

Lou Ruan didn't dare to say.

Xu Xuze, who was beside her, opened his mouth very boldly, "I don't like it." ”

"After eating," Zhou Ran's voice was still very light, "If you don't want to eat, don't eat, if you don't want to do it, don't do it, how can life be so easy." ”

Xu Xuze pursed his lips, he stared at the plate of fried bamboo shoots, as if he had begun to be aggrieved.

He really didn't seem to like it.

Lou Ruan pursed his lips, he could only clip a little more and eat a little more.

But the adoptive mother seemed to have discovered something, and called him coldly, "Xu Xuze." ”

The person next to her reluctantly stretched out his chopsticks and ate with her.

He pursed his lips, and the action of eating was much louder, and the chopsticks slammed the plate into a bell.

The woman sitting with them looked over.

Xu Xuze sniffed, lowered his head and took a big bite.

5.

The adoptive father reappeared.

He followed her, asking the same questions as before.

What is Mom doing at home, is she happy at home, do you want to live with Dad, how is your relationship with your brother, can you let him live with Dad.

Dad will prepare a big house and a family playground for you, so you can go wherever you want.

At that time, Lou Ruan was still young, and she didn't know why he always told her this, she just instinctively refused, and whispered over and over again that it was good to be at home.

She walked beside Xu Junyan, turned a corner, and bumped into her aunt who was shopping for groceries head-on.

6.

Auntie seems to have told mom about that.

Lou Ruan looked at the woman sitting at the table on the small terrace with some fear, her face was not very good, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her tone was sharp:

"He left you a call?"

I did stay.

Lou Ruan nodded cautiously.

"Don't call him, don't see him again."

"Don't let me see you see him again!"

7.

Since then, Lou Ruan has been worried when he comes home from school every day, for fear of meeting his adoptive father and making his adoptive mother angry.

But Xu Junyan has not appeared for a long time.

8.

When I went to junior high school, I had a lot of unfriendly classmates at school.

They would ask her why no one was at home during the parent-teacher meeting and if her parents were busy.

She didn't know how to answer, so she could only nod her head.

Later, someone ran to her and said that she was a liar, so her parents were not busy, but they didn't want to come, because she was adopted, not their own, so her parents didn't like her.

She said in her heart that no, her mother never went to Xu Xuze's parent-teacher conference, nor would she go to school to pick up Xu Xuze.

It's not because she's adopted.

She is the same for all of them.

But they said that their family didn't even let her change her surname.

9.

At that time, many people followed suit.

Not everyone has bad intentions.

There are many people who look at her with a look of pity that is difficult to explain.

Lou Ruan always wondered if she was really pitiful.

She went home with her schoolbag, Xu Xuze entered the door in front of her, he changed his shoes and walked in, looked back at her, and closed the door very heavily after going upstairs.

Lou Ruan looked upstairs, pursed his lips, and silently changed his shoes and went upstairs.
