spring tide with rain

Just after class, Yao Shu received a call from his sister Yao Yuan.

"Little Shu, is get out of class over yet?" Yao Yuan is a very gentle person, always speaks so softly, and in Yao Shu's memory, he has almost never seen his sister lose her temper.

"Just finished class." Yao Shu held the phone between his ears and shoulders, tidied up the books and held them in his arms. There was some noise in the classroom where people hadn't finished, "Is there something wrong?"

"Well...it's okay, you can go home and visit your parents when you have time," Yao Yuan said.

Yao Shu was stunned, followed the crowd out of the classroom, and the outside was much cleaner, "Okay, I see."

The weather has started to get hot in May, and the air in the south is always steaming with heat. The stuffy and humid climate is very unpleasant, but for Yao Shu, he likes summer very much.

Some people say that summer belongs to girls, because they can wear all kinds of beautiful skirts, and it is the same for Yao Shu.

Xia Tian belongs to him.

After Yao Shu left the teaching building, his cell phone rang.I thought it was a text message, but I didn't expect it to be a message on the platform he broadcast live.

It turned out that there were new fans.

He smiled in the sunlight with the corners of his mouth curled up.

He likes this feeling, this... the feeling of being cared about.

There was no class in the afternoon, and Yao Shu was wandering around the campus after lunch, but he was actually hesitating whether to go home or not.He is a native of this city, but he seldom goes home. He used to study hard and work hard just to escape from this place, but in the end, he was still imprisoned in this city where he grew up.

Yao Shu finally decided to go home and have a look.

His home is half a city away from the school. One is in the high-tech zone and the other is in the old city. The whistle of the wrong car, and the cries of small businessmen and hawkers.

After living here for more than ten years, he has become accustomed to it, but sometimes he feels unaccustomed to it when he quiets down.

It was the same in the year of the college entrance examination, and even worse, he couldn't sleep all night, listening to the meowing of cats in heat outside the window, and the sound of quarreling all night from nowhere.

He arrived in a few steps after getting out of the car. His house was in a small alley. The decades-old residential building was trembling, as if it would collapse when the wind blew.The house is still rented.

"Mom, I'm back." Yao Shu skillfully opened the door with the key, and the rusted iron door opened with a stubborn sound, just as the sound of watching TV came from inside.

Yang Fang was sitting on the sofa watching TV, a family ethics drama, I don’t know how many times I watched it, and I heard a voice without even raising my head, “Yo, you still know how to come back, yesterday your dad said that I gave birth to two White-eyed wolf!"

There was irony in the words, Yao Shu was used to it, the relationship between him and his parents had never been very good, which was the reason why he didn't like to go home.In his childhood impression, apart from the quarrel between his parents, it was his own voice being reprimanded.

"My dad isn't at home?" Yao Shu put the key on the table.

Only then did Yang Fang look up at him, raised her chin and said, "I'm on the phone in the room."

Yao Shu said "Oh" and didn't know what to say for a while, he always did this, just like a guest in his own home.Maybe the guest has more presence than him.

The house is not big, about [-] square meters, and the balcony is only [-] square meters. It has two bedrooms and one living room. Yao Shu used to live in the small room when he was still at home. See the cobwebs knotted in the corner.

"The house hasn't been cleaned up for you, so let's make do on the sofa at night." Yang Fang trimmed her nails, half of the nail polish was missing on her hands, "I heard from your sister that you are working outside?"

"En." At home, Yao Shu and Yao Yuan were closer, but they weren't so good that they could talk about everything. He didn't tell his sister what he was doing, only that he found a part-time job outside.

"It's not like your dad just lost his job, and I have nothing to do. Today, the landlord called again to ask for a rent increase. These days... are really unbearable! Since you have found a job, your living expenses this month I won't give it to you now."

Yao Shu nodded and said he understood. In fact, he had been hearing such reasons for several months.

While the two were talking, his father Yao Jun came out of the house. He was taken aback when he saw Yao Shu, but there was not much surprise in his eyes.It is said that a son is the pride of his father, but not in their family. In Yao Jun's view, his son is simply his shame.

Both timid and cowardly, he didn't inherit any of his genes.

Yao Shu left without dinner. He couldn't stay in such a house for a second. Thinking about the previous ten years, he felt admiration for himself. How did he survive?

Their family has never been rich. When he was in kindergarten, he was still wearing his sister’s childhood clothes. They were all beautiful and old skirts. The teacher and other children thought he was a little girl. There was a dance performance, and he stood up to the girls. in the team.It was also at that time that the teacher discovered his talent in dancing and suggested to his mother that Xiao Yaoshu should learn dancing. Yang Fang took pride in it and felt that her child could not be worse than others, so she really sent Xiao Yaoshu to learn dancing. .After studying for half a year, I really can't afford the high fees.

Dance practice is very hard. One training session was so intense that many people cried because of the pain, including Xiao Yaoshu.When other mothers saw it, they hugged their children and coaxed them, saying that they would not cry or cry, but Yang Fang was the only one who saw it and yelled and cried and cried all day long. Did you spend so much money to make you cry!

From then on, little Yao Shu didn't dare to cry anymore, no matter how painful he was, unfortunately, despite this, he didn't learn to dance anymore.When Yao Shu was five years old, he didn't think there was anything wrong, but when he grew up, he realized that some words were really engraved in his heart, and he would never forget them for the rest of his life.

The wind at night was a bit cool, and it made his eyes shine. Yao Shu took a bus, put in coins, and sat down quietly looking at the shops passing by the window. The beautiful clothes and colorful toys in the window were all his. Broken dreams.

With a "ding dong", the phone rang in his pocket.

Yao Shu opened it, and it was a private message with a familiar name, but he couldn't remember who it was.

"Have you had dinner?"

He couldn't help frowning. Although he often received private messages, most of them were sent by girls to "confess", and some left messages and suggestions for him. There were also a few who came to scold him. There were almost no such greetings.

Yao Shu was a little curious, and opened the other party's homepage to find some information, but unfortunately, there was nothing there, even the profile picture was blank.

He didn't take it seriously and turned off the chat interface, but after the man said that, he realized that he was really hungry.

Yao Shu originally thought that the other party was just casually sending something out of boredom, or simply wanted to chat with someone, but before going to sleep, he received another private message from the other party.

"I heard that city S will rain tomorrow, remember to bring an umbrella."

"Good night."
