This is the first time Ye Ran saw Zhou Si's mother on the leather sofa in the principal's office.

This is an elegant and breathtaking middle-aged woman, wearing a business suit, no extra jewelry, only a pair of pearl earrings, short hair that reaches the ears, neat and tidy.

When she saw Ye Ran, she got up from the sofa, and without waiting for the principal's introduction, she stretched out her right hand directly: "Student Xiaoye, hello, I'm Zhou Si's mother, just call me Aunt Wang."

Ye Ran held her hand and said, "Hello, Aunt Wang."

There is a faint scent of perfume on her body, like the begonias on the branches in spring. It is not strong, but it is memorable.

Zhou Si inherited his mother's phoenix eyes. When staring at you blankly, the narrow eyes are too sharp, as if they can penetrate people's hearts with a single glance.

She is a completely different person from her own mother, Du Jieying.

Because of the personal relationship between his mother and Zhou Si's father, Ye Ran always seemed a little uncomfortable when facing Wang Nian.

Wang Nian went straight to the point: "Student Xiaoye, I believe those photos are nothing more than children playing around. It's nothing to do with it. However, being used by someone with a heart will have a negative impact on the reputation of you, Ah Si, and the High School Affiliated to Normal University. "

This is for both parties to have a step down, no matter what the truth is, as long as it is a joke game between classmates.

For a moment, Ye Ran felt a bit sour and lost.But he still nodded.

Wang Nian took a deep look at Ye Ran, and said: "I have hired a private detective to investigate this matter, and I believe this rumorer with ulterior motives will be found by us."

She stepped forward and hugged Ye Ran, patted his back lightly, and said, "Don't worry, you are A Si's good friend and brother, Auntie will not let you be wronged."

Ye Ran suddenly had a sore nose, perhaps because he felt guilty towards Wang Nian, or perhaps because he thought of his hopeless future with Zhou Si.

Wang Nian touched the hair on the top of Ye Ran's head, stared into his eyes, and said, "Promise Auntie, and A Si will always be good brothers."

Ye Ran said: "I promise you."

Wang Nian smiled and said, "What a good boy."

It was already early autumn when Ye Ran saw Zhou Si again, and high school life entered the third year.

Zhou Si returned to the High School Attached to Normal University on the second Friday of September.After a summer, he grew taller again, and was tanned to a wheat color by the sun in the Bay Area, making him much more lively.Standing in front of him, Ye Ran was half a head shorter, and was made even more fair and delicate by the lining.

The turmoil in June ended with Cui Xinyu being persuaded to quit.The school asked Ye Ran to read a statement on the radio station, explaining the ins and outs of the whole incident to the teachers and students of the school who were burning with gossip souls, and the matter was officially over.

Ye Ran did not mention this matter to Zhou Si, and judging from Zhou Si's state, Wang Nian did not reveal the slightest rumor to him.

Zhou Si described to Ye Ran the summer in the Bay Area with great vigor, where there is delicious Chinese food, where you can dive, fly a helicopter, and which weird professor is giving him a headache.

"Ah Ran, I've inquired about it. We can register for marriage in California." Zhou Si suddenly felt a little shy, lowered her head, and touched her nose with her index finger unnaturally, "After finishing my undergraduate studies here, let's go there together Read master or phd."

Ye Ran didn't reply to him, but said: "Oh, yes, I won't live on campus this semester, and I applied for a day school."

Zhou Si said: "Why didn't I hear you talk about the day school before?"

Ye Ran replied: "It's also a temporary decision. The lights in the school dormitory are turned off at 12 o'clock. I feel that the third year of high school has to work harder to be admitted to the target school."

Zhou Si hurriedly said: "Where are you going to study, is there any room available? I will also go to study and live with you."

Ye Ran was amused by his anxious look: "Two rooms and one living room, my mother has already occupied a room, and there is no room for you."

But in his heart he felt unspeakably uncomfortable. Ye Ran knew that Zhou Si and himself were like two intersecting straight lines, getting closer and closer at a certain stage until they intersected.But then, they drift away.As time goes by, in the farther future, each other's life trajectories will be infinitely parallel.

Zhou Si was a little disappointed: "Are you still going to study by yourself at night? Otherwise, I can only see you when I have classes during the day."

Ye Ran shook his head: "No, just study at the rental house, so as not to run back and forth."

Zhou Si suddenly said: "Ah Ran, did something happen when I was not in school?"

Ye Ran smiled and said, "No, why did you ask this suddenly."

Zhou Si stared into Ye Ran's eyes and said: "No matter what happens, I hope we face it together, don't hide it from me, Ah Ran, I will feel distressed."

He leaned over and hugged Ye Ran: "I will still be angry, very very angry."

In any case, in the next three months, Zhou Si really felt Ye Ran's alienation.But every time he tried to win Ye Ran's attention with the Dafa of throwing and rolling, he always succeeded.

Knowing that something is wrong, but don't know what went wrong.

Zhou Si was surrounded by a desolate and extremely negative sense of powerlessness.

He tried to explain this fluster and powerlessness to Ye Ran, but Ye Ran always said that he was thinking too much.

This kind of haste and uneasiness grew to the extreme at the celebration banquet after Zhou Si got the recommendation of T University, making him more anxious than ever before.

Everyone toasted him and congratulated him on his bright future.

Zhou Si had something on his mind, and he would not refuse anyone who came, so he vomited until he hugged the toilet in the private room.Cold water splashed on his face, Zhou Si looked at himself in a mess in the mirror, and sneered, "You bastard."

He took a pack of cigarettes from the inside pocket of his jacket, pulled out one, lit it, took a deep drag, and coughed.

After a while, Zhou Si put out the cigarette butt, walked out of the bathroom, greeted everyone, and left the hotel.

City N in January is the bleakest season of the year, the cold moonlight shines on the road, and the bare branches of camphor trees beside the road are particularly few in the night.Zhou Si hailed a taxi and gave an address.

The hour hand of the quartz clock passed "10", Ye Ran rubbed his sore eyes, and decided to go to the kitchen to make a cup of black coffee to refresh himself.As soon as he walked out of the bedroom, the doorbell of the rental house rang "ding dong ding dong".

Mom is out of town to discuss business recently, who could it be so late.

Ye Ran looked out from the cat's eyes, and it turned out to be Zhou Si.

"What's the matter?" Ye Ran opened the door, frowning at the pungent smell of alcohol and smoke from Zhou Si's body.

Zhou Si ignored him, wrapped in the bitter cold of winter night, without saying a word, stepped into the room.

"What would you like to drink? Coffee, green tea, fruit juice, milk?" Ye Ran deliberately ignored the stagnation, decadence and hostility around the person in front of him, turned around and was about to go to the kitchen.

"Are you going to leave me, Ah Ran?"

Ye Ran was tightly surrounded, and the person behind him leaned over and whispered softly in his ear.

"do not leave Me."

There was a coolness in the neck, Ye Ran turned his head slightly, and saw Zhou Si's wet eyelashes trembling, tears traced the traces of loss and pain on this young and vigorous face.

Ye Ran's heart clenched into a ball.

But he still didn't answer Zhou Si.

The silence in the air made Zhou Si a little unbearable, or it angered him.I saw Zhou Si suddenly pulled the man in his arms, and pinched his chin with his right hand, so that he had to raise his head and look directly into his eyes.

Ye Ran's eyes are clear and gentle. After all these years, he is still the little Ye Ran that Zhou Si saw in Yejia Village.

Zhou Si's uneasiness and restlessness were miraculously soothed by Ye Ran.

"I'm sorry, I'm just... just a little worried." Zhou Si sucked the corner of Ye Ran's lips, "Give it to me, otherwise... I can't control myself, will it hurt you?"

Seeing that Ye Ran didn't respond, Zhou Si couldn't help feeling flustered, and the force on his mouth couldn't help but aggravated, biting Ye Ran a little painful.

He pulled away from Zhou Si's shackles a little, looked into Zhou Si's eyes, sighed, and said, "If that's the case, well, Ah Si."

Ye Weixin picked up the teacup, wanted to take a sip of the tea, but shook his hand, and the hot tea dripped onto his suit pants.

"Mr. Ye, have you considered it?" Zhou Huaizhu seemed to be interested in the purple clay pot in his hand, and he kept rubbing his fingers on the lid of the pot.

"Okay," Ye Weixin closed his eyes and opened them again, as if he had made up his mind on something difficult to decide, "I will take responsibility for the quality of the project in the high-tech zone. But what you promised, I will guarantee Jieying and Ye Ran's life No worries about food and clothing."

"That's right, a man should sacrifice something for the family. Mr. Ye is also a cheerful person."

Zhou Huaizhu's expressionless face, finally evoked a smile at the corner of his mouth.

Ye Weixin drank some wine and returned home, suddenly wanting to see his son.It was Tuesday, and Ye Ran was in school.Ye Weixin drove around to a nearby vegetable market, bought some meat and vegetables, carried them to the back seat of the car, and went to Ye Ran's rental house.

When Ye Ran returned to the rental house after school, he unexpectedly saw Ye Weixin whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He didn't know what to say, so he could only call "Abba".

The fifteen or sixteen year old boy looks different every day. When he left home last time, Ye Ran's head reached the peak of his eyebrows. He hasn't seen him for a few months, and his son has already grown taller than himself.

Ye Weixin recalled that when Ye Ran was born, he wished he could run around Yejia Village three times. It was the happiest and happiest time in his hard-working and helpless life.

Now, Ye Ran has grown into what he expected.

My life is worth it.Ye Weixin's eyes were a little moist.

He suppressed his emotions, squeezed out a smile, and said, "Come on, give Dad a helping hand, eat something good tonight, and Dad will show you his hands."

Half a month later, Ye Weixin's body was discovered by a resident of a community. He fell from the [-]th floor onto the green belt of the residential building, and his face was completely changed.

When Ye Ran received a call from Du Jieying, his mind went blank, and he spit out his breakfast in one gulp.

After calming down, he vaguely felt that something was wrong, and immediately took a taxi back home, and found a mobile phone in the study.

Ye Weixin forwarded all the text messages from the past year to this phone.The latest one above is from a person named "Xiao Zhao", who asked for a coffee discussion at Yewei New Landmark.

Landmark is less than 200 meters away from the place where Ye Weixin had an accident.

There was a flurry of flying snow in the sky, this was the first snow in N city this winter.Daxue seems to hide all the sins and truths in the world, and everywhere the eyes can see are pure white and beautiful mountains and rivers.
