The childhood sweetheart who fell from the sky

On the second day of the sports meeting, Jiang Feng broke the school record in the 5000-meter race, and won No. 1 for the first class in the relay, but only Wen Yu and Yuan Yuan brought him water and celebrated, while Mu Yao did not go.

The prize was a notebook and a beautiful pen. He gave the notebook to Pingyuan and the pen back to give to Mu Yao.

Mu Yao spent the day alone—and she couldn’t be said to be alone.He also went out and met many people, but none of them were Jiang Feng.

Before dawn in the morning, he walked seven kilometers to see Mousse.

He thought that the fresh air could purify his mind, but it turned out that the smog was severe and the weather was muggy. While walking, he was worried about Jiang Feng who would run five thousand in this weather, and when he arrived, Mousse hadn't gotten up yet, so he had no choice but to talk to Jiang Feng. Jiang Chaohui and the two sat awkwardly facing each other and said some polite words.

Jiang Chaohui's family is not as good as Mu Pingchuan's, but they are definitely not poor. In this city of S where housing prices grow faster and faster, there is a house in a good location, even if it is less than [-] square meters, it is worth a lot of money. I have been working as a tutor in an overseas study agency for several years, writing CVs and other things for students, and I earn a lot of money, which can also help Mousse in his future planning.

Mu Yao followed her around the house politely, and walked lightly, so as not to wake Mu Si.

There is a small master bedroom here, half of which is used to store books. I don’t know what to write in foreign languages ​​and half-translated texts are piled up everywhere. There is a small single room for Mousse, with a small kitchen and a small bedroom. Bathroom, living room and hall.

Jiang Chaohui told him that no one comes to the house, and the living room has been cleaned up, which is specially reserved for him. In fact, I thought about it when I bought a house a few years ago, but I have never been mentally prepared. The sofa can be folded into a bed. There is an electric piano on the coffee table, the style is very old, because I heard that he and Mousse both like music, it is covered with a blue floral cloth, and the keys are wiped clean.

"I'm going to use the bathroom." Mu Yao walked into the only bathroom, propped herself up in front of the sink, and tried her best to hold back her tears.

Although this place is small, it is very warm, and everywhere exudes the meaning of "home". It is the place he has dreamed of for more than ten years, and the people he has dreamed of for more than ten years live here.

When he was in the police station, he also heard other people talking about him, saying things like "girls are still caring" and "girls have a deeper relationship with their mothers", but he knew that if Mousse were himself, he would not have experienced those hardships. If she doesn't come, she won't bow her head to Jiang Chaohui again and again. Mu Yao knows that her heart is more arrogant than herself.

And if it is even a few days earlier, before these things have happened, before being persuaded by Dai Anran with reason, this woman who should be called "Mom" can muster up the courage to tell him what she just said. Say something -- "This is for you, come back." -- and he'll move in without hesitation.

He knows that people will change, everyone needs opportunities, needs to grow, and needs to be forgiven, but he can't do it, whether it is for himself or Jiang Chaohui.

He simply flushed his face and found that the things in the bathroom also proved that Jiang Chaohui lived alone before, but he didn't ask where the man who took Jiang Chaohui away was now.

Jiang Chaohui didn't say whether she would remarry. She might still be that cowardly, beautiful single woman, pinning her hopes on a man who could save her, not realizing that she would be independent long ago.

To be honest, Mu Yao couldn't understand her thinking at all. After all, she had a career and relatives, so what's the point of counting on a husband?Maybe it has something to do with the education she received as a beautiful woman, but anyway, any kind of father will be no worse than Mu Pingchuan. If there are any changes, he would have picked up Mousse in advance.

At noon, I had a meal with him, Mousse, and Jiang Chaohui at a nearby hot pot restaurant. The sauce was not very tasty, and the bottom material was not carefully fried, but Mousse ate a lot.

Mu Yao hasn't eaten with Mousse for a long time. The last time he was very young, he only knew that Mousse was not very good with chopsticks. He couldn't even hold the spoon steadily, and his fingers trembled very badly.

Mousse got the sauce on his collar, fortunately he was not wearing a school uniform, which reminded Mu Yao that Mousse had often stained things since he was a child.

Is this the sequelae of long-term mental stimulation and self-repression?Mu Yao ate the hot food, sweated all over, and felt her back was cold.

He didn't eat much, mainly because he was carefully observing the relationship between Mousse and Jiang Chaohui.

After they broke away from yesterday's dramatic scene, they seemed a little alienated. It was because Mousse treated Jiang Chaohui very intimately and deliberately acted like a baby, but Jiang Chaohui treated her with sincerity and fear, as if she was the elder, which also caused Mousse to sometimes It's a little embarrassing.

So before leaving, Mu Yao took advantage of Jiang Chaohui's going to the bathroom and said to Mu Si: "If you don't want to stay with her, come back to me anytime."

Mousse looked at the fish swimming on his back in the fish tank at the front desk, and said sleepily, "Looking for you? Hehe, aren't you also boarding at someone else's house?"

"We can go back to Unit [-] together," Mu Yao didn't deny Mu Si, didn't say it was home, he put his hands in his trouser pockets, and imitated Jiang Feng's usual casual movements, "Mu Pingchuan won't anyway. Come back, I can take care of you."

Mousse snorted, but didn't answer, and seemed a little helpless and started to stroke his hair again.

"If you have something, just tell me, I can solve it." Mu Yao finally said.

He didn't eat a few mouthfuls of the meal. In the afternoon, he returned to Jiang Feng's house and reheated the leftover food from yesterday. It was mushroom marinade made by Jiang Feng in cans. I found it was too cold, so I had to pour it out after two mouthfuls, dragging my uncomfortable body to pack my things.

He didn't have many things, almost nothing, and sold all the scraps that could be sold, only the ones brought from Mousse, a box full of envelopes.

Jiang Feng respected his privacy very much, and he didn't have too many questions about the things he brought back. He just asked casually, and never asked a second time if he didn't hear the answer. When this box was opened, he didn't know that it contained a letter he wrote to Mu Yao.

Throughout the afternoon, Mu Yao arranged them in chronological order, opened them one by one, and read them silently.

The first few letters showed signs of being opened by Mousse, and the letter paper was stained.

From the fifth and sixth seals, they have not been opened. It may be that Mousse is tired of the word "Yao Yao" that keeps appearing in it.

He is in the third grade, and Jiang Feng is still not very good at writing Chinese characters, but he writes "Mu Yao" on the envelope and "Yao Yao" on the letter paper very skillfully. Each letter is a registered letter with pinyin in English, and there is not much content , There are many pictures, very difficult to identify, but Mu Yao has read them one by one, and confirmed that each letter is actually written to Mu Si.

What Jiang Feng said and did, he knew nothing about it.

But Mu Yao still looked at it repeatedly as if it were a treasure, wanting to know everything about Jiang Feng.

The frequency of letters gradually decreased, until I graduated from elementary school, there were more than 60 letters in total in three years, and the more I read them seriously, the more Mu Yao could see how much Jiang Feng liked Mu Si back then, or in other words, that name A mousse called "Mu Yao".

Mu Yao's memory was also awakened by the things said in these letters, and the story between Jiang Feng and Mu Si was pieced together.

Since the day he met Jiang Feng, he hadn't been out of the house. He was beaten by Mu Pingchuan because he changed into a man's clothes. Later, Mousse and Mu Yao never played together and always traveled alone, so even though Jiang Feng knew that he had a younger sister named "Mousse", he didn't realize that he had changed a playmate at all.

Jiang Feng gave Mu Si a lot of things, such as building blocks, models, paintings, and many small ornaments, but they were all thrown away by Mu Si, because Mu Pingchuan did not allow her to make friends outside, so she could not bring other people's things back. But the two books that Jiang Feng gave to Mu Yao, the manga and the piano score, were brought home by Mu Yao, and Mu Si had to take them away from Mu Yao.

Mousse probably also likes Jiang Feng, right?Although the letters behind have not been opened, they are still well preserved. Maybe it's just a little awkward and unbalanced?

"Only by using my brother's name can I go out and make friends, and only letters written to my brother can be received..."

——Does Mousse think so?

The message Lin Ting replied to him last night was saved in his favorites. When he woke up from a nightmare in the middle of the night, Mu Yao turned on the phone and stared at the words: She said her brother had good grades, was handsome, and could play the piano , is very powerful, and treats her very well, she has always been proud of you.

Lin Ting: Every time you are mentioned, she will seem happier than usual.

When Jiang Feng came back at night and gave the pen to Mu Yao, Mu Yao accepted it, thinking: This is actually the first thing Jiang Feng gave him, right?

The following May [-]st, the two of them didn't go out. They studied hard at home, reviewing and previewing one by one. In fact, the first year of high school had almost finished the textbooks of the second year of high school, so there was no need to worry about the exercises to practice. Same as before, get up early when the weather is good, pull Mu Yao out of the quilt, put him under his arm and let him wash up and play ball.

Time passed quickly, and Mu Yao occasionally contacted Mousse, but the two still had nothing to say. Mousse would at most report three meals to him, and when the court opened a month later, Jiang Chaohui went instead of Mousse, and was introduced by Jiang Feng's family. A good lawyer sentenced Mu Pingchuan to life without any suspense, but because he didn't agree to a private settlement, he only got 20 yuan in mental damages.

The money is not enough for Mu Si to finish high school by himself. The child support should have been about one-tenth of Mu Pingchuan's salary, but the hospital fired him, and the two children will reach adulthood in two years. , Mu Cheng also showed his penny-pinching personality to the extreme, and wanted to transfer the real estate under Mu Pingchuan's name to his own hands. Unfortunately, Mu Pingchuan was afraid that he would transfer it to that young woman. After hesitating for a day, all the property was frozen. .

After the final negotiation, the result was a one-time compensation to Jiang Chaohui for a small house, a [-]-square-meter house in the city center, which was less than one-twentieth of Mu Pingchuan's total property. Jiang Chaohui rented out the house and collected rent every month.

But it doesn't matter, as long as Mu Yao knows that Mu Pingchuan has received the punishment he deserves, it is enough. If Jiang Chaohui can't afford the tuition that Mu Si needs in the future, he will find a way to earn it.

Apart from studying every day, he just thinks about how to make money, which causes Mu Yao to often hold a pen or chopsticks in a daze, and loses weight at a speed visible to the naked eye, which makes Jiang Feng a little worried.

"It's okay," Mu Yao said every time, "I'm thinking about how to improve my grades."

It is true that he did not do well in the exam. He remained in the third grade in the monthly exam. No matter what, he could not surpass Lu Xiaoqi and Song Qingtan. The score difference ranged from ten to thirty points.

Next is the end of the semester. The thirteenth high school always finishes the exams ahead of time, gets the grades, and then goes on vacation after the papers are finished. This time, Jiang Feng did not enter the top 70 in the grade, but only half a semester. After catching up to [-]th place, he is still very successful in the thirteenth high school where the pressure of competition is very high. What's more, he doesn't want to give up physical training, so he has less time to study than others.

"Fifty is not enough," Jiang Feng said, "It needs to be closer, otherwise I won't be able to get the same major as you in the future."

do you need?Mu Yao thought, now he thinks whether he will go to the same university or not is meaningless, he will definitely give priority to the tuition fee when choosing a school, and Jiang Feng doesn't need to condescend himself like this, it's better to go abroad like Mu Si.

Mu Yao thought, when the summer vacation ends and school starts again, they will be in the second year of high school.

He thought that when he went to high school, everything was brand new and he would improve, but in fact, most things have indeed gone in a good direction. Now that Mousse has a new life, Jiang Feng is also thinking about it. The new goal is working hard, only he himself, still standing still.
