Listening to the sea

06

In the end, Shen Bei didn't return the phone to Mo Zixi, because he accidentally dropped it on the ground and scratched it when he went back that day. Although the mark was not big, it was different from the new one after all.He looked at Mo Zixi's text message, counted all the money on his body, and decided to go out and find a part-time job.There are many places where he needs money now, so he can't always trouble Mother Mermaid and Granny Wen.

Mo Zixi's entanglement at the gate of Shengnan School made Shen Bei become the topic of Shengnan again.The attention he originally received because of his appearance is now even more.Almost every day, people from different classes, different grades and even different schools came to watch his class.This made Shen Bei tireless.

He just wants to live his own life in peace.

Seeing that he was disturbed and restless, Han Chenyi used his authority to move his seat from the side of the window to the innermost one, and sat at the same table with him.

After school this Friday, it was rare for Mo Zixi not to wait at the school gate. Shen Bei walked out of the school with the crowd, looked at the road in front of him, and thought of the past again.He has been to the road of Shengnan High School several times before, and now this area has not changed much except that the road has been widened and a few more shopping malls have been added.

Shen Bei remembered walking straight forward from here, crossing the four roads, which was the home he used to live in.I don't know if his parents still live there, or if they are doing well now.

Thinking of this, Shen Bei unconsciously walked in that direction.Along the way, he saw many familiar places, such as the shopping mall that his mother took him to, the park where he visited with his classmates, the street where he galloped on a skateboard, and the beef noodle restaurant he loved most.Everything, with the memories of the past, made Shen Bei have mixed feelings.

Turn around the small supermarket, which is the alley where he grew up.He stopped to straighten his school uniform, took a deep breath, and walked into the alley.A black BMW was parked downstairs of his house, before he had time to take a closer look, a person stepped down from the BMW, it was Mo Zixi.

Mo Zixi was also very surprised to see Shen Bei, he didn't expect to meet him here.Before Shen Bei was about to turn around and leave, he quickly walked over to stop him and said, "Why are you here?"

"Well... I saw a very cute kitten, and I followed it." Shen Bei tried his best to make up a believable explanation.

"What about the cat?" Mo Zixi looked around suspiciously.

"I lost it." Shen Bei said.After speaking, he saw the gift in Mo Zixi's hand and asked, "Does your family live here? Or are you here to visit relatives?"

"To see someone." Mo Zixi said, "Wait here for me."

"No need, since the cat is gone, I'll leave first." Shen Bei was about to leave after speaking, but Mo Zixi grabbed his wrist: "You forgot that you still owe me a meal."

Shen Bei was soft on people, and said helplessly: "Okay then, I'll wait for you here, treat you to dinner later, and return the phone money to you by the way."

Mo Zixi seemed very satisfied with his attitude, nodded and wanted to go upstairs, but after thinking about it again, afraid that he would regret it, he dragged him upstairs together: "You should go up with me."

Shen Bei couldn't beat him, so he had to go up with him. He saw Mo Zixi climbing up layer by layer, and finally stopped in front of a door he was very familiar with, that was Shen Bei's home.

It was only now that Shen Bei realized that Mo Zixi was here to visit his parents. He originally just wanted to visit this familiar place and left without thinking of going in. Now that Mo Zixi pulled him here, as long as Mo Zixi When Zixi knocks on this door, he will see his parents who have been separated for life and death.Shen Bei was not yet mentally prepared for this, and subconsciously wanted to run away.Mo Zixi quickly grabbed him and said, "Want to run?"

While talking, the door in front of her was opened, and Shen's mother stood behind the door and greeted Mo Zixi with a kind smile: "Xiaoxi is here? Come in quickly. Did you bring friends over today?"

Seeing that he couldn't escape, Shen Bei could only turn around and face his former mother.His mother is much older than 12 years ago, not the old age of ordinary women, but a kind of spiritual oldness. Before she was 50 years old, her hair was already gray, her face was also a little sallow, and the corners of her eyes were covered with pimples. Fine wrinkles.It's no longer what it used to be.

With just one glance, Shen Bei could hardly hold back his tears.He held on to the hem of his clothes and walked in under the welcome of Shen's mother. The furnishings of the house had changed a little, as if they had been renovated, but the skateboards and racing cars he liked very much were still there. Shen Bei really wanted to go up and touch them. , finally held back.

Now he is just visiting as a stranger.

Mo Zixi carried the gift and accompanied Shen's mother in first. After changing his shoes, Shen Bei turned to the porch and touched everything in the house inch by inch with his eyes. Suddenly, he saw a black and white photo next to the TV cabinet in the living room. There is an incense burner enshrined in front of the photo, and the person in the photo is his father.

He couldn't help it anymore, tears streaming down uncontrollably.Before Mo Zixi was about to walk over, he lowered his head and said "I'm going to the bathroom" and went straight to the bathroom.

Mo Zixi was left standing in the living room in surprise, raising his hand to tell him the direction to the bathroom.

"Xiao Xi, you are such a good boy. My godmother has told you many times that you don't need to visit me every week. You also bring so many things that you can't put them down at home."

Shen Bei heard his mother and Mo Zixi talking in the bathroom.

Mo Zixi said: "I'm willing to come. I don't worry about you living alone. Why don't you move to the house I prepared for you. It's close to our house and we can take care of each other."

"No, I've lived here all my life. My son and wife know this place well. They won't be able to find their way back after I moved away." Shen's mother's voice was full of vicissitudes of grief. Shen Pei made his own decision. He is a kind child, and you don’t owe our family anything. You have come to see us every week for more than ten years. You have done enough for us. You can keep the house for the future. Use it to marry a daughter-in-law."

Mo Zixi smiled and said: "It's still early to marry a wife. After all these years, I have already regarded you as my own mother. Brother Shen Pei can't be filial to you, so I will accompany you for him."

"Hey, after losing a son, she gained another son. This is a godmother's blessing."

"Come on, godmother, you eat this, it's delicious."

Shen Bei hid in the bathroom and wept while listening. The face in the mirror was beautiful, delicate and charming.It's no longer the calmness it used to be.What he missed never came back.Shen Bei wiped away his tears with a tissue, adjusted his facial expression in front of the mirror, and then opened the bathroom door.

Seeing his strange expression, Mo Zixi thought that he might not be used to staying in a stranger's house for a long time, so he stood up and said to Shen's mother: "Godmother, let's go first, you take care of yourself."

"Stay here for dinner." Mother Shen insisted.

"No." Mo Zixi said and looked at Shen Beidao, "We still have something to do, so don't worry about it."

"Okay then, be careful on your way, your friend is really handsome, and you will often come to play with Xiaoxi when you have time." Mother Shen smiled at Shen Bei.

Shen Bei didn't dare to look into his mother's eyes, so he could only lower his head and say with a low voice, "Okay, goodbye... Auntie."

Coming out of Shen's house, Mo Zixi could clearly see that something was wrong with Shen Bei's mood, he thought it was because he forcibly kept him and made him unhappy, so he didn't ask any further questions.But Shen Bei took the initiative to open his mouth. After the car had driven for a certain distance, Shen Bei asked Mo Zixi, "You seem to be very close to their family. I don't think you usually like to talk, but just now you talked so much." happy."

"That's my godmother." Mo Zixi said.

"Are you relatives?" Shen Bei asked intentionally.

"No." Mo Zixi thought about whether to tell Shen Bei the truth, but in the end he only said half of it, "They gave me my life."

Shen Bei didn't continue to ask, he looked at the receding street outside the window, thinking about the scene at Shen's house just now.At that time, Mo Zixi looked different from the usual him. Usually, Mo Zixi was indifferent and rebellious, but today he is full of warmth. Shen Bei thought, since he can always remember this kindness, it means that he His heart is actually kind.

"Where are we going to eat?" Shen Bei remembered that he had to invite him to dinner.

"What do you want to eat?" Mo Zixi asked back.

"I'm the one who invites you to dinner. I'll invite you to eat wherever you want."

"I want to eat what you... like." Mo Zixi smiled faintly.

This was the first time Shen Bei saw him laughing like this.When Mo Zixi laughed seriously, the sun was particularly eye-catching. Shen Bei's ears were reddened by his deliberately paused words, and he turned his head and said, "Then go to the seafood stall at the street corner."
