Canary [Rebirth]

After returning that day, Lu Yu left his work and rested for a few days, but the matter over there was still unresolved. After his mood calmed down, he returned to Huai City.But it's just some finishing work, not too time-consuming.

During the few days when Lu Yu was at home, Pei Xiangque was happier than usual. When Lu Yu left, he was always a little downcast, and he didn't need Li Chengguang to bring food over, but had dinner with An Zhizhou.

Pei Xiangque was embarrassed to tell An Zhizhou the specific situation between himself and Lu Yu, but the other party was so smart, he must have guessed it.

He was not only sad because Uncle Lu was not around, but also because of other things, such as leaving Ningjin soon and saying goodbye to An Zhizhou.

What to say?

Pei Xiangque glumly poked at the food in front of him, tilted his head, propped his chin, and looked at An Zhizhou who was sitting opposite him. He was the first friend he made. that's good.But after only getting along for such a short time, he was about to leave here.

Before going to bed at night, Pei Xiangque finally couldn't hold back, and complained to the almighty Uncle Lu. Lu Yu asked him softly, "Are you reluctant to Anzhizhou?"

Pei Xiangque nestled on the bed, staring blankly at the documents not far from the schoolbag, which was the one he gave to An Zhizhou and was stuffed back by the other party.Under An Zhizhou's careful guidance, he has already written a little bit, besides are not only his own notes, but also more traces of An Zhizhou's comments.

He buried his face in the pillow and answered in a low voice.It didn't seem to feel much at first, but the closer the parting, the deeper the feeling.

Lu Yu also seemed to be thinking for a moment on the other side, then smiled softly, "Then let me ask him for you, would you like to go to Huai City?"

He paused, then explained, "Apei, you know, the school you are in is not very good, and your level is not good enough, but An Zhizhou studies so well and has no family, so it is worth going to a better school. If you go to Huai City, I can help arrange it, do you think it's okay?"

Pei Xiangque turned over and faced the hanging crystal lamp on his back, slightly covering his eyes.This was a great temptation for him. It was impossible for him to leave Uncle Lu, and he was reluctant to part with An Zhizhou, but he also felt that it was wrong for his own selfishness.

After a long time, he said slowly: "Then, Uncle Lu, help me, don't let him know."

This is a wish full of selfishness, Pei Xiangque thought anxiously, unable to sleep for a long time.

Lu Yu always did things quickly and neatly. In fact, he had thought of this matter a long time ago and was just waiting for Pei Xiangque to bring it up.And because Pei Xiangque was arranged before, Lu Yu is very familiar with the contacts in Ningjin, Huai City is his place, it's just a matter of words.

On the second day's evening self-study, An Zhizhou was called out by the class teacher, instead of going to the office, he went to a quiet corner in the garden.Teacher Zhang wiped his glasses, and stared carefully at the thin An Zhizhou under the faint light.She understands the child's family situation very well. She has no father and no mother, and the only relative is like that. She once wanted to visit the old man's house and have a good talk with the old man, but An Zhizhou stopped her at the door.

His face was pale at that time, and he almost trembled when he spoke. He said: "Teacher, it's better not to go in. If you persuade him something, I'm afraid he will scold you."

Even so, he was an excellent student and an excellent person.And now there is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.Just this morning, Mr. Zhang got the news from the Academic Affairs Office, saying that a very famous key high school in Huaicheng inspected the champions of the high school entrance examination in various cities. Even the exam account problem can be solved.And An Zhizhou happened to be selected by luck.

This matter was so good that Teacher Zhang couldn't believe it. No one around told him, so he hurriedly asked someone to ask the teachers of the education system and the school in Huaicheng, and got a positive answer, so he hurriedly told the teacher about it. An Zhizhou called out.

An Zhizhou listened to Teacher Zhang's words in silence, thought for a while, and said politely: "Thank you teacher, please let me think again."

Teacher Zhang was even more anxious than him, and said in a row: "What else are you thinking about? Such a good opportunity. If you are worried about family affairs, there are student subsidies and scholarships over there. I saw that it is not a small amount, enough to hire one Nanny, take care of your grandpa."

An Zhizhou nodded, and returned to the classroom under Teacher Zhang's worried gaze.

Pei Xiangque, who was next to him, was crouching on the table like a little sparrow that had done something bad.It was the same question when An Zhizhou left, and it was the same when he came back, nothing changed.

Seeing his appearance, An Zhizhou's [-]% guess must have become [-]% sure, why is his tablemate so silly and cute.

After waiting for a while, the impatient Pei Xiangque finally stuffed a small note.

"Teacher, why did the teacher call you out?"

Ever since Lu Yu said yesterday that he wanted An Zhizhou to go to Huaicheng to go to school, Pei Xiangque felt that it might be a harbinger of what Uncle Lu had done, and he couldn't sit still because of fear all day long. Ann, until now.

An Zhizhou unfolded the note, propped his chin and thought for a while, he is not Pei Xiangque, who has such good luck that he can easily believe that the sky is falling.Lu Yu is from Huai City, and this incident happened too suddenly, combined with the fact that Pei Xiangque secretly looked at him and sighed recently, An Zhizhou is not a fool, so why can't he guess it.

He briefly wrote this matter to Pei Xiangque.

Pei Xiangque didn't know Lu Yu's specific operations. When he saw the whole thing, he widened his eyes and wrote dryly, "Then, the conditions are so good, why don't you go to Zhizhou?" He didn't dare to reveal it at all. , fearing that An Zhizhou would hate him because of his selfishness.

An Zhizhou looked at his face that couldn't hide the matter at all, and couldn't help laughing, "Although the conditions of the school in Huaicheng are very good, it is not necessary to go. Ningjin, no matter what, It’s also my home. Besides, I have to wait for someone.”

After Grandpa Chen was hospitalized, every time he was upstairs, he couldn't help but listen to the movement below. Maybe it was his Zheng Xia who had returned.But he never met Zheng Xia again. Two weeks ago, he learned from the aunt of the neighborhood committee that Grandpa Chen had moved away. He said that he was old and fell again. His legs and feet were not flexible and he went to his grandson Cities can get better care.

An Zhizhou heard himself ask: "Then, is Grandpa Chen's house sold?"

The aunt frowned, and said casually, "I don't think so. This is a family building. It's dilapidated and old. It doesn't fit anywhere, and it's not easy to sell."

An Zhizhou walked out of the door in a daze, and was walking on the road outside. He tripped over a small stone and fell down. Unfortunately, he didn't break his leg. Even if he did, no one would know.

No one will know.He even thought that in the future, every year on the first day of the new year, his wish to live the next year in peace knowing that Zheng Xia lived downstairs was forced to extinguish.

That night, An Zhizhou rubbed his sprained foot and thought to himself, it doesn't matter, the house hasn't been sold yet, maybe they will come back in the future.

Then just wait.

None of this can be said to Pei Xiangque.And it's only one of the reasons, and what An Zhizhou himself said, no matter what, this is his home, the place where he grew up, and even if he wants to leave, he will rely on his own strength, not the kindness of others.

He thought a little too much, and his mind was not very clear, and finally he accidentally wrote, "Even if I don't go to Huaicheng now, I can pass the exam by myself in a year and a half, and we can live in the same city again." Li, don't you believe in my strength?"

Pei Xiangque unfolded the note and took a look. He was taken aback. He didn't even understand how he was exposed. He secretly glanced at An Zhizhou's face. He didn't seem to be angry, so he mustered up his courage and wrote carefully: "I'm sorry. .Because, for my own selfishness, I force you."

An Zhizhou wrote quickly, "Little fool, what are you forcing me to do? I don't want such a good opportunity."

Pei Xiangque squeezed the note tightly and nodded dully.

An Zhizhou looked at him and stopped talking, but lowered his head to do his homework.

When he came home from evening self-study, Pei Xiangque took out the materials, but he was still thinking about An Zhizhou's words today. He just flipped through them casually, but found an extra line of words on the title page. It was An Zhizhou's handwriting, which was thin and neat. Birds can tell at a glance.

"Xiang Que, don't be afraid of parting, and don't be too sad. Everyone has to take a different path. Even if we are separated temporarily, I will always be with you in my heart."

This was probably the most sensational thing An Zhizhou had ever said, so I dared to write it here secretly, without even telling Pei Xiangque.

Pei Xiangque read every word of this sentence carefully over and over again, and finally fell on the table and giggled for a long time, gradually he couldn't laugh anymore, and he was still a little sad.

He called Lu Yu and said softly, "Uncle Lu, Zhizhou, refused."

Lu Yu could actually guess that An Zhizhou would refuse, but he would not tell Pei Xiangque in advance, but fulfill his wish.

"I don't seem to be so sad." Pei Xiangque hugged the pillow and rolled over and over on the bed, speaking in a vague way, "He said, everyone, everyone walks, the road is different. It’s normal to be different and parting, too.”

Lu Yu was startled, he lay on the bed, and asked again: "Then, am I the same?"

After hearing this, Pei Xiangque hurriedly argued, "Uncle Lu, how can Uncle Lu be the same? I, I can't say goodbye to Uncle Lu!"

"Oh?"

Lu Yu made a puzzled tone. He actually understood the little sparrow's intentions very well, but he always asked him to tell himself these words.

Pei Xiangque stopped, and counted the difference with his fingers, because there was too much to say, and he was afraid that he would forget while talking, "Zhizhou, that's great. I hope, hope, he can give a lot of money." , many, many good friends, there will be many people who like him, and will find someone who loves him. But Uncle Lu, it's different."

When he said this, it seemed that he was a little bit embarrassed for his own petty thoughts, "But, Uncle Lu, it is so good, no matter how many people like it, it can only be mine alone, only, like me alone, who wants to Neither."

Lu Yu's heart suddenly softened, and he said, "Me too."

The author has something to say: It would be better if An An was a little more selfish, but he won't.

Xiaoque: Da Pei, do you know what Uncle Lu said in love a few days ago?

Da Pei: I don't know.However, do you remember one thing from the past...

Xiaoque: What?

Da Pei: A long time ago, Uncle Lu said to us that "sorry" is pronounced "hug".Also, you've talked about "hugs" many times.

Xiaoque: Oh, Uncle Lu's deceit, how can it be called a deceit!

Da Pei: ... Very good, great, very fascinating.
