The river is exhausted

"Ah... then let's do this first." Whenever the two of them were mentioned, Jiang Youpan's mood would always drop to freezing point.

The old man on the computer side hesitated for a long time, and said in a trembling voice, "Well, take good care of yourself."

"Well, you too." Jiang Yousi didn't feel anything wrong, and hung up the phone as soon as he finished speaking.

The old man put down the phone in his hand, heaved a long sigh, and slowly lay down on the hospital bed.After a long time, as if remembering something, he struggled to sit up, stretched out his hand that was still stuck with needles, picked up the pen and paper next to the bed, and began to write slowly.

After Jiang Youpan hung up the phone in his hand, he threw the phone on the table casually.Walking down from the balcony, the heating immediately warmed his frozen hands.In the clean and tidy living room, just a few simple lamps lit up the space, filled with a warm light, but it was too empty.

He sat down on the sofa, with a resting large dog, Alaska, lying on his feet.Although it was lying on its front legs with its eyes closed, it looked very majestic.

Sitting on the sofa, Jiang Youpan bent over, reached out and stroked the soft and fluffy hair on the top of its head.As if feeling the owner's touch, it suddenly opened its eyes. Unlike the friendly eyes of ordinary Alaskan dogs, its eyes were full of vigilance and fierceness.It is very similar to his master's appearance when he was fierce.

But the moment it touched its owner, its gaze immediately turned docile again.It stands up for the owner's petting.And also took the initiative to rub the master's hand a few times, and let out a comfortable low humming sound.There was a rare smile on the corner of Jiang Youba's mouth, and he patted its head.

"goodboy, night."

"Wang-"

He stood up and walked towards the room.

A night without dreams.

When Shen Rujiang woke up, it was already 03:30 in the afternoon of the next day.He didn't expect that he would just lie on the sofa and sleep all night and day, and his neck was sore when he raised his head.His voice was quite dry and hoarse after he was drunk, he stood up from the chair, but he was dizzy and dark-eyed for a while before recovering.

The water in the kettle was already cold, so he didn't care too much.He grabbed it and took a big gulp. After he regained his senses, he took a shower in the bathroom, and his stomach began to growl. Anyway, he was still a young man after all, and his physical strength was exhausted relatively quickly.

But it's already this time, and tomorrow is the Spring Festival, so I don't know how many stores will be open.He was too lazy to go to the street, so he just lay down on the bed, covered his head and fell asleep again.

Later, he was woken up by the ringtone of his mobile phone that hadn't ring for a hundred years.Shen Rujiang jumped up from the bed, and stretched out his hand sleepily to reach for the mobile phone on the bedside table.He closed his eyes and slid away to answer the call, putting it to his ear.

Lazily: "Hello... hello" in that sleepy voice.

But the next moment he was startled by the familiar voice on the phone and woke up instantly. He opened his eyes suddenly and glanced at the strange number on the phone screen.

"Uncle... Uncle!" His voice was extremely excited, "Where did you go and why did you contact me now! I've been looking for you for a long time, do you know?"

"Don't worry, don't worry." The voice on the phone sounded somewhat haggard, "I... must be busy. How are you doing? Is your biological father treating you well?"

"..." Shen Rujiang suddenly fell silent.

Four years ago, his uncle had brought him into a lawsuit. No matter what, he was the blood of that man.Even if he doesn't want to raise Shen Rujiang, he will always have to pay for the support before Shen Rujiang becomes an adult.

But no one expected that the result of the final trial was that the man not only had to pay child support, but also had the obligation to raise Shen Jinjiang until he came of age.Under the pressure of the law, the man also took Shen Jinjiang back to live at home.

Shen Rujiang actually didn't want to go back with him, but his uncle said that he was going to other places to make money, so he couldn't take him with him.When he comes back after making a lot of money, he will be taken back, and the two of them will live a good life by themselves.Although Shen Rujiang was not very willing, but seeing his uncle's persistent eyes, he finally had to give up.

He returned to his biological father's house, his biological father was Shen Jiahao.At that time, he was already the boss of a medium-sized listed company, and he also had his own new family.Although the woman who married him was also married twice, she still had a girl who was about the same age as Shen Rujiang.

But she looks very beautiful. To be honest, Shen Rujiang's life in that house is quite embarrassing.He hardly had any communication with Shen Jiahao, and that stepmother also looked at him coldly, making things difficult in every possible way on weekdays, kind of like Cinderella.

Of course, Shen Rujiang is not Cinderella, he is not a submissive person.I don't know how many times I was provoked and beat that woman.Of course, his biological father is not Cinderella's father, and there will be absolutely no pampering on him.

After going back and forth like this, Shen Jinjiang only lived in that house for half a year before running out with him.And sternly threatened Shen Jiahao that he must send the living expenses on time every month. Just kidding, how could he support himself at that time?

Of course, it was the biological father who didn't like this at all, and he would cheat if he could.If you can't spend it, you can still save it for your uncle. Although the people of Shen Rujiang seem indifferent, in fact, some places are quite bad.

It's just that his uncle lost contact after he ran out, until now.God knows how hard he has been through these years, he wished he could get his uncle out and beat him up severely.

"I ran out a long time ago." After a long silence, Shen Jinjiang opened his mouth, with a somewhat vicious tone: "I hate living in his house."

Especially knowing what this man did after he knew his mother was gay, and even forced her to beat him?God bless him.

"...Then have you been living outside by yourself these past few years? Has he paid you child support?" The tone on the other end of the phone was quite worried.

"Yes, what have you been doing these past few years?" Shen Rujiang said in a serious tone.

But the other side almost completely ignored his question, and said directly: "Happy New Year to you! You must pay more attention to safety when you live alone. If a stranger comes to you, don't bother, just in case It's not good to be caught and sold. Just study hard, uncle will come back in two years. Well, let's do this first! I still have things to do here!"

"Hey, wait..." Before Shen Rujiang finished speaking, the phone was hung up.He dialed back again, but no one answered for a long time.

Shen Jiangqi cursed in a low voice, and threw the phone on the bed.It was already 04:30 in the afternoon of the next day, which is the so-called New Year's Eve, but the floor where he lived was too high, and there were hardly any festive firecrackers.After waking up and taking a shower and brushing his teeth, Shen Jinjiang only had one feeling now, and that was hunger.

This hotel doesn't sell food, so I don't know if the shop next door is open.With some hope, he took the elevator downstairs.Fortunately, I found that it was still open, so I quickly bought more instant noodles and dry food for storage in case of emergencies.

After paying the bill under the strange eyes of the clerk, Shen Jinjiang went upstairs again with a big bag of things.When I went downstairs, I heard a lot of firecrackers, big and small, from far to near.

After dinner, Shen Rujiang turned on the TV.Chinese people always love to watch the Spring Festival Gala during the Spring Festival. He used to watch it a lot, but now it’s somewhat boring to watch alone.The fireworks rising outside dotted the city and exploded in his ears.

Shen Rujiang turned off the TV, rolled on the bed for a while and couldn't fall asleep.Maybe it was because he slept too much these two days, he sat up from the bed a little irritably, and put on a coat.I am going to visit the place where I lived before. I don't know how Grandpa Yang is doing tonight.

But the children are back, definitely very happy.When Shen Rujiang was almost at the door, he suddenly thought so.The pace also slowed down, until it came to a complete stop.If you catch a glimpse of the family reunion at this moment, isn't that looking for abuse for yourself?

Shen Rujiang raised his head helplessly, looking at the fine snow falling under the sky.Putting his hands in his pockets, he took a step back, turned around and left again, this time walking towards the lively neighborhood in the past.

The place is deserted at the moment, but it is still a bit lively.Many children were playing firecrackers at the door of their own houses, and Shen Rujiang stopped at the door of a house. He couldn't help laughing when he saw the little boy who wanted to light but didn't dare to light it, but he couldn't light it at all.

Just as he was about to go up to help, a boy who looked about his age walked out without thinking.Maybe it was the boy's elder brother who ignited colorful fireworks for him amidst his cheers.

Shen Rujiang turned sideways and continued walking forward.There are basically some restaurants on both sides, and the people inside are surging, obviously all of them are full.These days, some people just love to take their families out for New Year's Eve dinner.The restaurant was crowded with people, and it looked quite lively.

He stopped again, his eyes slowly descending from top to bottom.Finally, it stopped at the ferocious gaze, looking at the very mighty big dog.One person and one dog just stared at each other like no one else.

The eyes of Yu Nian and Jiang Yousi also shifted to Shen Jinjiang. The two brothers had just come out of the restaurant, and unexpectedly ran into a little buddy again.But why is this little guy wandering the streets without eating at home?

Jiang Yousi lowered his head and looked at the big dog at his feet.It barked suddenly and rushed towards Shen Rujiang.He slipped his hand and failed to grab the rope, so he hurriedly shouted: "Stop!"

"Damn it!" Yu Nian also yelled, this dog is afraid of strangers, and it is quite fierce.What if someone takes a bite out of this pounce!

Seeing that Jiang Youba was about to rush up, what surprised the two of them was... this Alaska that used to have a fierce face when meeting strangers.After rushing to Shen Jinjiang, he kept wagging his tail at him and rubbing his head against his leg.

Shen Rujiang also squatted down like no one else, reached out and rubbed the top of its head.Yu Nian couldn't help laughing, but Jiang Yousi was confused. He should have been raised by him since he was in the United States. He was sure that he had never seen Shen Rujiang before, and never had one. Any master other than him.
