It's like coming to an old place from a new era. When I think of it, this is also a corner of the city. I suddenly feel incredible. The same place has the same name, but there are two worlds of difference. way of life.

But in this kind of big city, this kind of lifestyle is actually the most common.

Zhou Ling felt surprised when he first came here, but later he got used to a city with two different faces.

Yu Chen led him to a small alley, and the smell inside for no reason reminded him that his home seemed to have the same environment.

It's just that this place is much better than their home.

The houses here at least look a little more presentable than they do.

"Knock on the door."

Walking to the third floor, Yu Chen stopped outside the door and signaled Zhou Ling to knock on the door.

Zhou Ling looked at the gray and white walls, there were many small advertisements posted on them, and there was even an extremely tacky blessing on the big door.

He couldn't help but frown, so the people inside wanted to see him?
He knocked on the door.

The result is no response.

Looking at Yu Chen, Yu Chen signaled him to keep knocking.

He had to keep knocking on the door again.

This time, the door opened before he could react.

"come in."

A heavy voice came from inside.

Watching the sound of the door opening, Zhou Ling couldn't help but wonder what was inside.

"Let's go."

Yu Chen's voice rang in his ears, and only then did he realize that he was not alone.

An Xia put her hand on his arm: "Let's go, don't be afraid, the people inside may look different from what you imagined, but with us here, even if he wants to do something, he has to weigh it. "

After hearing this, Zhou Ling felt relieved and nodded.

But to his surprise, it was a little different in his imagination, but he never thought that the person in front of him would be such a big shock.

It's broad daylight, and the sun is shining outside, but the room is still covered by curtains, and no sunlight can come in. Besides, who would wrap his whole body in bandages, just like he once did on TV? Like the mummy I've seen before, but those eyes are extremely enthusiastic, and there is a little excitement mixed in, when I saw him, I subconsciously wanted to reach out my hand.

On the contrary, it was Zhou Ling, whose first reaction was to frown and hide.

An Xia also knew Zhou Ling's repulsive thoughts, so she stood in front of Zhou Ling without any trace.

The person opposite seemed to realize that this behavior was bad, and said sorry.

Although his voice was very hoarse, Zhou Ling could still recognize that the person opposite was a man.

"You want to see me?" he said.

The person in front of him is like a ghost.

And this room gave him a bad feeling, and he was always a little flustered.

The man took out a box with trembling hands.

"This is what your mother left you." The man's voice was hoarse, but if you listen carefully, you can hear a bit of magnetism.

Maybe he had a good voice before, but he didn't know whether it was an accident or man-made, but it turned into the hoarse voice he is now.

Zhou Ling couldn't help being taken aback when he heard the word mother, he even forgot to look at the box in his hand, but excitedly looked at the inhuman person in front of him: "Do you know my mother?"

"How did you know her? What kind of relationship do you have with her? And do you know where my mother is? What is it like? Answer me."

He can't wait to let the people in front of him say everything right now, but the man in front of him is like a slow-response robot. He opened his mouth, and finally he can only spit out a few words: "Your mother is dead, this is what she left behind." The only relic for you."

The glimmer of hope that Zhou Ling had just ignited was extinguished again in the man's words.

He had never regretted it as much as before, he shouldn't have come, so there was at least one hope in his heart.

An Xia also knew how much this incident had hit him, so she shook his hand to cheer him up.

Zhou Ling came back to his senses and looked at the box in his hand.

"This is a relic left by your mother. Keep it well." An Xia said in a low voice. She also had such times. Although she couldn't empathize with her, she also knew how desperate the pain was.

Zhou Ling nodded.

There was nothing to say between them.

After handing over the relics to Zhou Ling, the man drove them out.

Zhou Ling wanted to ask more questions, but the man seemed to be trying to avoid it, no matter what Zhou Ling asked, he didn't say a word.

Even looked a little angry.

Zhou Ling's heart was in a mess. On the way back, he looked at the box in his hand and wondered what he was thinking.

Yu Chen was driving the car, and An Xia was sitting in the co-pilot, looking in the rearview mirror from time to time, as if hesitating to speak.

Yu Chen knew what An Xia wanted to say.

"You should still remember where the address is." Yu Chen said before An Xia.

Zhou Ling nodded complicatedly: "With us here, he should have some concerns. If you go alone, you may gain something."

On the contrary, An Xia looked at him in surprise.

I really didn't expect that he could say such a thing.

Is Yu Chen such a kind person?

of course not.

He just knew in his heart that even if he didn't say anything, the child is so smart, and he would go to see him after he memorized the address. Yu Chen just clarified the matter first.

Sure enough, Zhou Ling nodded with a complex expression.

An Xia also turned her head: "If you're afraid, you can call me with you. I'll wait for you downstairs when the time comes."

Zhou Ling is usually precocious, but now he looks like a child, and now he looks very cute with a puffy face: "You said, you must go with me when the time comes."

An Xia couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't know how insecure this child was. He might not remember other things, but he definitely remembered this kind of promise clearly.

Yu Chen glanced in the rearview mirror, just in time to meet the child's eyes, he couldn't help making a face, Yu Chen turned his head, how could he care about a child.

But he is already in the third year of junior high school, and he is not a pure child anymore. It seems that there are still too few homework assignments. After that, he will call the math teacher and add a few more sets of mock papers for him.

Unaware of his tragic ending, Zhou Ling came to Yu's house.

When he came last time, there was only one housekeeper uncle in the Yu family.

The uncle housekeeper would not ask him about his background, nor would he take the initiative to talk to him usually, but would show up when he needed it.

He thought it was still the same as before, they were the only ones who were quiet.

But today is obviously a little different from what he imagined.

There were more people around the mansion, and it was still visible to the naked eye, not just two or three people as he had thought before.

Not only that, after he entered the porch, An Xia stopped him just as he wanted to speak.

"Now is the time for the elderly to take a nap. The sound should be at a normal level, and there should be no loud noises."

"Old man?"

"Well, Uncle Yuchen's grandparents are back." An Xia explained.

Zhou Ling blinked, looking very surprised.

Yu Chen was speechless: "What kind of expression do you have?"

Zhou Ling shook his head, and quickly said no.

He just didn't expect Yu Chen to have grandparents.

But normal people seem to have grandparents, and he is the only one who doesn't.

"Go up and tidy up first, go take a shower, and then you can come down to eat later, go quickly." An Xia patted him on the shoulder in fear.

Zhou Ling: "Is my room still kept?"

"Of course, you should still remember where your room is?" An Xia said naturally.

Zhou Ling had mixed feelings in his heart. At that time, because Yu Chen chased him away, he was sullen for a long time. When he came back this time, he thought he was a guest, but he didn't expect An Xia to prepare his room.

"Mr. Housekeeper will let someone clean your bedroom every day. I know that you work very hard, but sometimes you don't need to be so urgent. I know that you are very nervous about studying now. You can come here when you are on vacation. This can also be another home for you.”

An Xia said earnestly.

This child has a heavy heart, so An Xia speaks a little slower. She still likes this child. Although it can be seen that he has a lot of eyes, he is just a child. He has a heart for favor, but he is kind. In fact, there are.

Zhou Ling didn't expect An Xia to say such a thing to him.

When he was a child, he felt that although he was raised by his father, he was not as good as those orphans. At least they understood from the beginning, so they would not expect anything, but every time he was looking forward to, he was disappointed.

He has never felt the warmth of home, and he doesn't know how to define the word home. He just vaguely feels that it is a very warm feeling, which makes people want to linger in this kind of warmth.

But will Yu Chen agree?

Thinking of this, he took a sneaky look at Yu Chen, and found that the man who would usually refuse with a cold face didn't say a word at this time.

Of course Yu Chen felt his little eyes.

That cautious, probing wolf-cub-like look is really a bit similar to him in the past.

"Go ahead, be gentle when going upstairs." Yu Chen said lightly.

Zhou Ling covered his surprised expression, pursed his lips and nodded.

An Xia smiled, it was not easy for Yu Chen to say these words.

Zhou Ling returned to the room, and took out the box that the man gave him before from his schoolbag.

The box was a wooden box with intricate patterns carved on it. He couldn't recognize what it was, and he wasn't interested in a box. He was just curious about what kind of things his mother would leave for him.

However, it seems that it is still inaccurate to say that. He is still not sure whether what the man said is true.

He glanced at it, picked up the box and looked it over, and found that there was actually a combination lock on it.
