You who walk against the light

Zhong Kaifan parked the car and walked towards the school gate.After being separated for so many years, Xiao Shiyu has grown into a slim little girl.

Xiao Zheng didn't react for a while: "What are you shouting for?"

Xiao Shiyu pouted, "I didn't yell, if you don't believe me, look at it." As she spoke, she stretched out her hand and pointed, and there was already a tall and thin Zhong Kaifan standing in front of her.He was as handsome as she remembered, but seemed a little more mature.

When Zhong Kaifan was in college, he tutored Xiao Shiyu in Mathematical Olympiads. The little girl liked him very much, he was so smart.Shi Yu is like his own sister to him.

Xiao Zhengcai turned around, and when he saw Zhong Kaifan, he seemed a little surprised: "Kaifan, why are you here?"

"Just on the way." Zhong Kaifan nodded towards Shiyu, and was about to rub her hair. Thinking that the girl was getting older, he took his hand back, "Pick up the child from school?"

Xiao Shiyu answered first: "Father insists on sending me to study art, I'm really exhausted, and I don't let people have a good rest on Sunday."

"Too many skills don't overwhelm you." Xiao Zhengyi said in a serious manner. He was obviously a strict father in front of his children.

Zhong Kaifan chuckled, but asked Shi Yu: "Is there a lot of homework today? My brother treats you to dinner, and you can choose whatever you want."

"Really!" The little girl almost jumped up happily, but she grabbed her father's arm and dared not let it go, for fear of disobeying him, she looked at Xiao Zheng and whispered, "Is it okay?"

Although Xiao Zheng looked embarrassed, he still agreed, "Only this time."

This time Zhong Kaifan drove the car himself and disappeared at the intersection with his father and daughter.The sky was getting dark gradually, and the blue sky was seen in front of the windshield. The heater in the car was exhaling evenly, and the air became extraordinarily quiet.

Perhaps because of the occasional rain, the atmosphere is very lively.

"Dad, what shall we have for dinner tonight?"

Zhong Kaifan glanced in the rearview mirror, clicked on the food recommendation post on his phone, and handed the phone over, "Take a look."

Shi Yu shook his head, took out the iPad from his schoolbag, and replied with a smile, "Use my own."

Xiao Zheng, however, had a serious face, and repeatedly told him, "Stop playing in class."

"I see—" the little girl elongated her voice.

His slender fingers jumped quickly on the screen, choosing and choosing, Shi Yu finally made a decision, "Shall we eat Peking duck?"

"How old are you? Haven't you eaten before?" Xiao Zheng persuaded patiently: "Mom said you are in adolescence, eat less greasy things, and you are prone to acne."

The little girl's tone changed suddenly, and her face was full of displeasure: "Father!"

Zhong Kaifan smoothed things over in the middle, "It's okay to eat once in a while."

"Look!" Shi Yu panted, "Anyway, you don't like what I do."

Xiao Zheng, who usually handles work with ease, was a little dumb. Zhong Kaifan couldn't help laughing at this, "Brother Xiao, don't be too strict."

Xiao Zheng had no choice but to give up.

Zhong Kaifan was very familiar with this area, and went to a restaurant with the best reputation, and the waiter led them inside.The storefront is open and bright, with antique tables and chairs. There is a rockery in the center of the hall, and the gurgling water seems to add a little sound to the winter.

During the dinner, Zhong Kaifan respected Shiyu very much and asked her to order food and make up her mind. Xiao Zheng, who was at the side, was a little restless, fearing that her daughter would cause trouble for Kaifan.Unexpectedly, after dinner, Xiao Zheng found that Kai Fan and Shi Yu got along very well.

You must know that his daughter has always been stubborn, and she usually likes to be petty.When he gets angry, he always closes the door tightly and does not allow himself and his wife to enter.Now that he is facing the pressure of the senior high school entrance examination, he dare not speak harshly, for fear that his child will have thoughts in his heart.

After eating most of the roast duck, the waiter came over and asked if he needed to pack the rest of the duck rack, Xiao Zhengyuan was going to refuse.

But Zhong Kaifan said: "Need." He wiped his hands slowly, "The duck rack can also make soup, and it tastes good."

Shiyu was attracted by the Starbucks outside the glass window, she always had novel ideas, "Brother Kaifan, I also want to drink a Frappuccino."

"What coffee do you drink at night? Drinking coffee will affect your sleep." Xiao Zheng couldn't help but said again.

Shi Yu looked at his father with a dissatisfied face, feeling a little embarrassed, his cheeks were flushed, but he couldn't hold back his adolescent rebellion, "Brother Kai Fan said, he treats guests today."

Zhong Kaifan got up and made an inviting gesture, "Let's go." Then he turned his head and glanced at Xiao Zheng: "Don't worry, I won't spoil her."

When passing by the front desk, Zhong Kaifan settled the bill, and heard Shi Yu say softly: "Brother Kaifan, haven't you noticed that my father is more terrifying than before."

Zhong Kaifan lowered his head, looked at the small Shi Yu, and really felt that she was a big kid, "Are you deliberately playing against him today?"

The two walked towards the Starbucks outside the door, Shi Yu wrapped his scarf tightly, "He always likes to meddle in things, I'm so tired of it."

Zhong Kaifan remembers that he was like this for a while, he didn't like to talk, and he didn't want to pay attention to the evaluation of him by the people around him.This state lasted until he was in high school, and then gradually calmed down.

All the manifestations of Shigure are normal phenomena of puberty.

Longing for freedom, longing for self-awareness, and yearning for all things that are against common sense, as if only in this way can we play with fate and release the throbbing of life.

In the end, Shi Yu ordered a cup of shaken mango hibiscus tea, which she could drink with gusto even though it was such a harsh winter.Zhong Kaifan couldn't help being a little worried that drinking too much iced drinks would be bad for the girl's health.

Shi Yu put his hands on the railing, with a ponytail and fair cheeks, "Brother Kaifan, I really thought I was wrong today."

Zhong Kaifan stood aside, holding a cup of warm Americano in his hand, and said calmly, "Really."

The little girl raised her head to look at him, her eyes sparkled, "When I was a child, my mother told me that I have always worked so hard to become an excellent person like Brother Kaifan. If you go to the school that your brother attended, you will learn what your brother will do. instrument, but why are you missing?"

At the end, she was a little choked up.

Zhong Kaifan's eyes felt hot when he heard this, a 15-year-old child is more or less sensible, he doesn't know if Shi Yu understands those things about him.

"And Brother Zhong Can..." Shi Yu couldn't help squatting down, put the iced drink on the ground, and curled up into a ball: "I often feel like a trapped animal, not knowing where my future is, or what to become What kind of person, because the brothers who once believed in role models have disappeared. Therefore, I always fight against my father and intentionally anger my mother. It was they who persuaded me like that, which caused me to lose my direction all of a sudden."
