Hear the sound of flowers blooming in my heart

Luo Yanze paused, then continued: "Brother Ye beat the man, and the man left. Then the neighbors said that the man was Brother Ye's father, that Brother Ye was unfilial, and that Brother Ye was so bad, but they didn't dare to say it in front of Brother Ye for fear of being beaten. As for whether the man was Brother Ye's father, no one knew.

Later, when I was in the third year of junior high school, several major universities, namely No. 1 Middle School, No. 2 Middle School, No. 4 Middle School, and our Yunzhong. In order to rank, the students and teachers in the schools of the major universities fought privately and used various means to get on each other. At that time, the high school entrance examination was approaching, and Brother Ye still loved studying. He worked while studying. But students from other schools came to make trouble every day, and Brother Ye couldn't stand it. One afternoon, after school, a group of people came to No. 1 Middle School again, blocking the school gate and making trouble. No. 1 Middle School is the richest high school in our county. The students there are all from wealthy families. So their eyes are on their foreheads, and they are so arrogant. They look down on us Yunzhong people.

Yege went up and beat up a group of people. Of course, he was injured. Later, the leader of the group, Cui Xiaoren from No. 1 Middle School, brought a group of people to ask for an explanation. He said that Yege broke his head with a brick and that he was hospitalized for a week. He wanted Yege to apologize, and asked the school to punish Yege and make him pay money. Isn't this bullying? It was obviously them who started the fight, so how can we say this is legitimate defense?

However, the people in No. 1 Middle School are from wealthy and powerful families, and the school can do nothing about it. With Ye Ge's personality, it is impossible for him to apologize. Later, in front of so many people, Ye Ge picked up a brick on the ground and hit himself hard on the head. Blood was flowing, and the scene was scary. At that time, the group of bastards in No. 1 Middle School were so scared that they just left. Later, the school did not punish Ye Ge. After all, Ye Ge also solved some problems for the school, although the solution may be a bit rough. But to deal with that group of people, you have to be rough. So, fists still have to speak.

Do you know why Ye Ge can beat a group of people by himself? Because he is not afraid of death. Ye Ge once told us that as long as a person is not afraid of death, what is there to be afraid of? So when he fights, others hide because they still want to live, but he doesn't want to live.

Because Ye Ge was handsome and had no adult supervision, when he was a child, some hooligans from nearby villages had evil intentions towards him. I remember one time, Ye Ge was grabbed by a group of men and was about to do that. Ye Ge tried his best to protect himself. Those men grabbed Ye Ge's pants and were about to take them off. Ye Ge suddenly exploded, broke free, and beat those idiots to the ground. "

Luo Yanze took a few more sips of wine: "Actually, if Brother Ye wants to relax, it's too easy. Because many rich women, and even rich men, want to support him. How can he be willing to do that? Although I am poor, I am ambitious. How can I be a gigolo? Brother Ye is like this. He can rely on his looks, but he insists on relying on his strength to make a living."

……

Luo Yanze spoke passionately and in a rhythmic manner, while Xia Xiyue listened with bated breath, worriedly.

By this time, Luo Yanze had already drunk three large bottles of beer, but Xia Xiyue no longer touched the fruit on the table.

Luo Yanze spoke incoherently, and Xia Xiyue's thoughts became scattered and floating, deep and unfathomable, and tangled like a tangled mess.

Luo Yanze opened another bottle of beer, Xia Xiyue snatched it, raised her head, and drank most of the bottle in one breath...

Xia Xiyue returned to her room, feeling dizzy. She lay on the bed, thinking about everything, tossing and turning for a long time, and finally fell asleep late at night.

At three o'clock in the morning, Xia Xiyue was awakened by the ringing of her cell phone.

She closed her eyes, fumbled around for a while, found her phone, held it in front of her, squinted her eyes, and when she saw the words "Xiao Yiye" on the screen, she instantly woke up.

It was so late, and this was the first time he called her.

Nothing will happen, right?

Xia Xiyue felt inexplicably flustered.

She turned over and sat up, blinking her eyes, and answered the phone: "Hello."

"..."

No one spoke on the other side, it was eerily quiet.

"Hello." Xia Xiyue spoke again to confirm.

After a long while, Xiao Yiye's voice came from the other end of the phone, speaking word by word: "...Xia...Xi...Yue."

A wonderful voice that plucks the heartstrings.

Low, lazy, and gentle like water.

There is a hint of weakness and haggardness in the charm.

This was the first time Xiao Yiye called her name.

Hearing his uncharacteristic voice and behavior, Xia Xiyue's heart ached.

"Where are you? What's wrong with you?..." Xia Xiyue threw several questions in a row.

There was another silence on the other side.

After a while, Xiao Yiye's voice came from the other end of the phone again: "Xia Xiyue."

"Yeah." Xia Xiyue didn't know what was wrong with him, so she could only respond.

"I... didn't do any strenuous... exercise. You... don't, don't think too much about it."

Xia Xiyue's face flushed red when she thought of the ambiguous message she had sent.

She finally understood that he was drunk.

Xia Xiyue: "Have you been drinking?"

Xiao Yiye: "Yeah, I drank it, a little."

Xia Xiyue: "Did you take the medicine on time?"

Xiao Yiye: “Yeah.”

Xia Xiyue: "You took the medicine and drank alcohol?"

After a long while, Xiao Yiye finally answered: "Noisy."

Xia Xiyue: “…”

This guy is so mean even when he's drunk?

There was silence again on both sides, looking at the time ticking on the phone.

Xiao Yiye's voice was heard again: "Xia Xiyue."

Xia Xiyue: "Yeah."

"He said, he said, we are not from the same world." Xiao Yiye's bitter smile came from the other end of the phone, so sad that it made people feel distressed.

Xia Xiyue asked: "Who said that?"

Xiao Yiye: “…….”

There was silence on the other end of the phone after that.

Looking at the time ticking on the phone, Xia Xiyue heard his silence and seemed to hear his inner roar again.

There was no word, just listening silently.

After a long time, the person on the other end of the phone hung up.

It was past four in the morning. Xia Xiyue was holding her cell phone, completely awake and not sleepy at all.

Heilong came back to get something and found Xiao Yiye lying on the sofa with several bottles of beer piled on the coffee table in front of him and many empty beer bottles lying all over the floor.

Looking down, Xiao Yiye's phone screen was still on, with three big words flashing on it: Xia Xiyue.

Heilong walked over and hung up the phone.

Heilong looked at Xiao Yiye lying on the sofa, his brows knitted together and his expression solemn.

This was the first time Heilong saw Xiao Yiye drunk.

Heilong knew Xiao Yiye's alcohol tolerance very well. Normally, he would not get drunk, unless he wanted to get drunk...

The next day, Xia Xiyue had nothing to do. She took out a copy of "To Live" from her box and sat by the window to read it.

The sunlight hit her face, bright and beautiful.

She read for a while, closed the book and looked out the window.

My thoughts started to wander.

She thought of the protagonist of the book, Xu Fugui, whose life and family were constantly suffering.

She thought of Xiao Yinye again.

Xiao Yiye's life so far seems to have been full of suffering, very similar to Xu Fugui.

But Xiao Yiye's life was even more miserable than Xu Fugui's.

When Xu Fugui was young, he was the son of a wealthy family. He had a father and a mother and lived a comfortable life.

Xiao Yiye has suffered a lot since he was a child.

His life is more tragic than tragedy.

Xia Xiyue prayed that Xiao Yiye’s life in the future would be different from Xu Fugui’s.

She felt that she had to do something. She couldn't bear to see such an outstanding and kind boy sink into depravity.

The sunlight outside the window became more dazzling, illuminating the dim room.

Suddenly, there was a commotion downstairs.

Xia Xiyue stood up, tiptoed, and looked downstairs.

Luo Yanze came to punch in again without hesitation.

There is one more person named Jiang Jun today.

Jiang Jun was holding a bag in his hand.

Luo Yanze wanted to reach into the bag to take something, but was stopped by Jiang Jun.

Jiang Jun said seriously: "Eat, eat, eat. All you know is to eat. You're already fat as a ball, and you're still eating!"

Luo Yanze said with a smile: "I'll just eat a little."

Jiang Jun patted Luo Yanze's hand as he stretched it out again: "This is what Brother Ye bought for Xiyue. Eat it, and get out of the way."

……

Sure enough, just as Xia Xiyue guessed, the fruits every day were indeed bought by Xiao Yiye.

Waves of guilt welled up in my heart.

Xia Xiyue wondered if she was really being a little pretentious?

In northern Beijing, eating fruit every day is normal and not considered pretentious. But here, people don’t eat much fruit.

She eats fruit every day, but it makes her look like a monster and seems out of place with others.

Xia Xiyue stretched her neck back and sighed in self-blame.
