ugly guest

"Xiao Wangwang, can you see what I bought?"

Just entered junior high school, on the first birthday, there was no one at home, Shuo Hai held a small cake in his hand, which was strawberry flavor he likes to eat, and he sat on the sofa, watching the news intently.

Shuohai turned off the TV, "What's so interesting about these boring things." He opened the cardboard box in his hand, and a red strawberry stood on the corner of the cake. Shuohai licked the strawberry, spat it out, and stuffed it into his lips. "You like to eat brother's leftovers, don't you?" Shuo Wang closed his mouth tightly, Shuo Hai watched him crush the strawberries indifferently and angrily, his hands were sticky, he looked at Shuo Wang with a smile, and there was a sound of "" Snapped--"

A slap hit Liu Shuowang's face.

Shuo Wang got off the sofa and fled in a hurry.

"Where are you going? My brother didn't do it on purpose, I accidentally shook my hand, Xiao Wangwang...! You haven't eaten the cake my brother bought yet."

Shuo Wang pushed him away forcefully, "Eat it! I bought it for you specially, today is your birthday..." Shuo Hai grabbed a piece of cake and stuffed it into his mouth. All face.

Suddenly, Shuo Hai grabbed his hair, sat on him, and stared at him: "You didn't hear what I said, open your mouth! Hurry up!" Every word forced him , Shuo Wang closed his eyes and let the paste stick to his face and hair, "That's good! Brother, I had a whim..." Shuo Hai ran to the kitchen, took a bag of salt and tomato sauce, "I'll make a meal The cooking is ready..."

The ketchup crazily squeezed on Liu Shuowang's body, he blocked it with his hands, and finally covered his whole body, "The carpet...the rug is stained with ketchup..."

"Are you still concerned about the carpet at this time? Ah! It's too bad, Xiao Wangwang, you are going to be scolded by your mother, the carpet is dirty... what should I do?" Shuo Hai opened a handful of salt and sprinkled it in the room, laughing Run, Shuo Wang stopped him and said not to scatter indiscriminately, Shuo Hai was chased by Shuo Wang and ran around, he turned around and smashed a handful of salt on his younger brother's face.

"clown."

Liu Shuowang closed his eyes, seeing darkness in front of him.

"It's already this point." Liu Shuowang looked at his phone, "I'm going back," he waved goodbye to Wu Ni.

"Come and play together next time."

He walked slowly back from the game hall, and couldn't help but recall how his brother punished him when he was alive. At that time, he would not fight back or sue. Jiao Qi was much braver than him.

If he was a villain like Jiao Qi who first sued and told his parents that everything was done by his brother, so that he would not be misunderstood by everyone?

Thoughts kept popping up, when he used to watch Wu Ni bully others, he always watched from the side, his eyes fixed on everything, unmoved.It should be cool, right?Today he truly experienced his own feeling of being bullied by his brother. It turned out to be like this... His heart feels uncomfortable and he is satisfied at the same time.

When I got home, I saw thistle leaning against the door.

"Why are you coming back now?"

"You've been waiting for me?" he asked in surprise.

Jishan sighed, and was about to go back to the room, "You haven't eaten yet, I'll reheat it for you."

"I ate out."

He approached Jishan, scratched his head guiltily, and said, "Good night." He opened his door and walked in. At home, he burned three sticks of incense for his brother, took out the mirror under the table, and stared at Looking at her cheeks, compared with Shuo Hai's photo, she showed her white teeth.

Three seconds later, he put away his smile, put the mirror back on the table, turned on the TV, and played the news.

The TV froze, and Liu Shuowang buried his chin between his knees.

"Xiao Wangwang, brother has something for you."

The TV showed my brother's smiling face, his cheeks were rosy, and he wore black-rimmed glasses, the lenses reflected the light, printing Liu Shuowang's pale cheeks on the TV.

In the second year of junior high school, Liu Shuohai still played tricks on him every day.Liu Shuohai's voice had already started to change. Every time he spoke, his voice was very hoarse.

This time, he held a set of girl's skirts in his hand, and approached Liu Shuowang step by step.

The TV screen was mixed with his chaotic memories, that time...

Liu Shuowang pulled his hair, lowered his head, and the TV anchor's voice moved away from him.

He cried and fought with Liu Shuohai.With nosebleeds all over Liu Shuohai's face, he looked at him seriously, and said, "I finally made you cry, I'm amazing, cry again! Cry! Cry for me, idiot!..."

The voices of relatives at Liu Shuohai's funeral also rushed in, everyone called him: cry.

Liu Shuowang came together, stretched himself, he looked at the time, after a while, Jishan rang the doorbell, and he went outside to pick up breakfast as usual.

Today is pumpkin porridge and two steamed buns, surprisingly light.

"Teacher...you wait," Liu Shuowang put the breakfast on the table and picked up the money wrapped in the envelope on the other side of the table. you."

Ji Shan opened it for a look, and threw it into Liu Shuowang's arms. He didn't catch it, and the money fell on the ground. He bent down and muttered, my old waist... "Is it not enough?" He asked , Ji Shan looked at him quietly with black pupils, Liu Shuowang felt guilty, scratched the back of his head, a little embarrassed, "I can't be an idiot to drink for nothing."

"Repay me with grades." It was the first time that Jishan disappeared so quickly before his eyes.

Liu Shuowang stayed at the door, a little sad, what was he doing! ?This kind of relationship is abnormal, Liu Shuowang, Liu Shuowang!You don't go any further.

What do I want thistle to tell me?

Jiao Qi was waiting for him at the gate of their class early in the morning. Liu Shuowang saw that his face was haggard, with panda-like dark circles covering his eyes.

"Why did you age so much overnight?" Liu Shuowang hooked his shoulders, "Did you wake up in the middle of the night and find that you forgot to do your homework?"

"Did you do it on purpose?" His voice was flat and tired.

"What are you talking about?" Liu Shuo complained, "When everyone misses homework, shouldn't they be really angry?"

Jiao Qi lowered his gaze to his face, feeling a pain in his chest, Jiao Qi hit him hard on the chest, unfolded the key in his hand, "Yesterday you asked me to go there specially."

"Yesterday? What happened?"

Seeing Liu Shuowang's ignorance, Jiao Qi gritted his teeth, "I saw you yesterday, you and Wu Ni."

"Ah?" Liu Shuowang stared at him blankly for a few seconds, then lowered his voice and moved to his side and said, "Oh~ rejected by the girl I like? I feel sorry for you, such a good girl, what a pity..." The corners of her mouth raised slightly, "You are not good enough for her. If you can go back to the stove and remake it, maybe Senior Jingxi will consider you if you change your appearance."

"Liu Shuowang!" Jiao Qi clenched his lips, "You spent so long with me deliberately, just to punish me yesterday and see my jokes?"

"What do you think? I treat you very carefully as a friend. Otherwise, why would I push Jingxi to you yesterday, heaven and earth, I didn't hurt you, but you didn't live up to it..."

"Is it interesting?!" Jiao Qi interrupted him.

"Of course it's interesting." Liu Shuowang saw his brother beside him for a moment, and the words he bared his teeth came out of his own mouth, "Let me watch you cry next time."

His heart seemed to be pinched by a hand with sharp nails, the tighter he felt, the more comfortable he felt.Taking a step back, he took the key: "Thank you for keeping this key for me, I thought you threw it away."

Jiao Qi was still holding on to a glimmer of hope. Liu Shuowang would never be that kind of person. Whenever he saw his smile, he felt how dirty the way he framed him was. He suspected that he was the biggest villain. The cycle of envy and jealousy was controlled within his head.Speaking of real friends, he probably...

He hates the distant figure most now.

Maybe he only cared about Liu Shuowang.He had to admit that he also admired Liu Shuowang.

Senior sister Jingxi came to look for Liu Shuowang several times, Liu Shuowang told her not to come to him again in front of his classmates, his eyes told the girl decisively that they were over.

"Is it because of Jiao Qi?" Jingxi asked him eagerly, "I won't be with him."

"No, it's not whether he can be with you, but I won't fall in love with a girl my friend likes, because I'll feel very uncomfortable."

"If you like me, you won't mind at all..."

"Senior Jingxi," Liu Shuowang snapped his fingers to her, "wake up. There is no result between you and me."

"But! How can you just... ah! Old... teacher."

Thistle suddenly appeared from behind, "Class is on."

"Wow..." Liu Shuowang's heart jumped violently, "Teacher, don't suddenly appear behind you, you will be scared to death."

Jingxi ran away with a red face.

"Didn't the bell ring yet?"

Thistle said nothing and walked away from him.It's as if nothing just happened.

Liu Shuowang, who returned to the classroom, greeted the students' mouths, "Ms. Shan caught you having sex, you are finished!"

"Where did I fall in love." It's not that he's finished, he thinks that Jishan has rescued him.

Now he has to hand in Chinese homework every day, and he is no longer special in Ji Shan's heart. Ji Shan never asks him to recite texts during random checks in class. The two are in the same classroom, but they are like people in two dimensions.Every time he took Thistle's class, he prayed that he wouldn't dismiss it so quickly.In this way, he can always listen to that gentle voice.

On Friday afternoon, the caller ID in his hand made him so excited that he almost dropped his phone to the ground. It was his mother's call.He ran to the roof of the school, took a few deep breaths, pressed the answer button, and paced back and forth on the roof.

"Mom~"

"How are you doing?"

"Yeah." Shuo Wang nodded vigorously.

"Mom will be back tomorrow."

"Really?" he asked excitedly, his voice raised several notches.

"Maybe I'll be home at two o'clock tomorrow, so you should be home."

"I see."

When he hung up the phone, he couldn't control the smile on the corner of his mouth, that's great!His mother finally came back, and he continued to walk back and forth, his body trembling nervously, and his smirk continued. The wind that usually felt cold actually made him feel alive at this moment.

The smell of flowers, the wind on the skin, the temperature of the fingers.He likes it very much.

The next day, my mother pushed open the door, "You look very good." It's been a long time since I saw her, but she lost a lot of weight. She put the fruit on the table in her hand, looked around the house, and said, "It's tidy up." so clean”

"Where's Dad?"

"Your father is still working."

"When will he be back?" he asked expectantly.

Mother stared at Shuo Hai's posthumous photo, and incensed him. Three wisps of white smoke rose slowly. She sighed and sat on the sofa. Let people fade away fatigue.

"I'll leave after a while."

"Ah?" Liu Shuowang opened his mouth in surprise.

Mom saw the panda lunch box on the table, "Did you buy this? It's so cute."

The lunch delivered by Jishan, he likes animals, so the furniture and daily necessities he bought all have animal patterns.

"Why are you leaving so soon?"

"I'm going abroad for a while, and I won't be able to come back for about five or six years. Dad is going to go abroad after finishing his work." Mom said calmly.

"then what do I do?"

"Haven't you lived alone for so long? When we come back, you will almost graduate from college. It's just right."

Liu Shuowang bit his lip and asked, "Just right?"

"At that time, you don't need us anymore. Your father and I are going to apply for immigration."

"..."

"We will send you living expenses every month. If it is not enough, you can ask us..."

"Mom!" Liu Shuowang said with a stiff smile on his face, "That... you... listen to me, I am the number one in the whole grade at school, and the teachers like me very much, saying that I am very good. ...I also presided over the entertainment festival organized by the school. It would be great if you were there, when I..."

"Son." Mom frowned.

"Ok?"

"You can follow your own path, and your parents won't interfere."

"mom……"

"Mom is leaving. I won't be able to make an appointment if I'm late." She went to her room, took out a few documents from a mahogany drawer, and touched the dressing table with her fingers. There was no trace of dust, and the mirror reflected her cleanly. The blue dress, the sheets are neatly laid out, and it has the same fragrance as the sofa outside the house.She still remembers this red quilt. When Shuo Hai was five or six years old, she liked to jump up and down on it, wrapping herself up like a dumpling, and asked her, Mom, do you think I look like a dumpling.

"Mom," Liu Shuowang's voice called to her.

She quickly put the documents into her bag, opened the door, and her son grabbed her by the corner of her clothes, "May I not go..."

"Now that you've grown up so much, do you still want to be as self-willed as you were when you were a child? Mom also has her own career to attend to."

"Can you come back to live with Dad, I will be obedient,..."

Mom grabbed his hand and pushed it away, "Let go now if you are obedient."

"I……"

Mom put on her high heels, opened the door, and walked out quickly. Liu Shuowang followed her and got into the elevator together. He clenched his fists and remained silent.

"You all hope that the person who dies is me, not my brother. If my brother is still alive, you will pick him up and drop him off every day, cook for him, and care about his studies. You and your father will never say that you will not come back in five or six years. foreign……"

"What nonsense are you talking about!! You annoy me." Mom lifted the hair that fell on her cheeks, "Why are you still the same as when you were a child, you are already eighteen."

When the elevator reached the first floor, the woman said, "Just send it here."

"Mom," Liu Shuowang called to stop her, "next year...I will only be eighteen."

The woman shook her head and said, "I'm sorry, my mother made a mistake."

"Am I born to you?"

Mom stepped on the marble in her high-heeled shoes—on the stone bricks on the side of the road outside the door, got into a taxi—on the carpet of the car, and left.

Thistle turned on the washing machine, pulled out the dry cotton clothes and hung them on the hangers. The light from the balcony was blocked by rows of clothes, and the debris of the sun spilled in and shone on the floor.

Picking up the half-read recipe, there was a piece of white paper in hand, recording the dishes he was going to buy in the afternoon.

Since he lived alone, he likes to study all kinds of recipes. Sometimes he invites friends to his house for dinner. During festivals, everyone likes to come to his house for gatherings. Tableware also plays an important role. Good tableware and A beautiful table setting can make people thoroughly enjoy the delicious food, and the taste on the tip of the tongue will last for a long time. A good lunch is not only good craftsmanship, but also the impact of the environment.

"Ding-dong-"

"Ding-dong-"

The doorbell rang.Thistle put down her book.Cover on the table.

open the door.

"Yo!" Liu Shuowang waved at him, "Can I go in?"

"Ah."

The kid actually proposed to come in.

Liu Shuowang put the lunch box on the dining table, "I've washed it, are you looking at the recipe?" He flipped through the book in his hand, stopped at a page of pastries, pointed to the yellow mashed potatoes and said, "This is delicious Firstly...peel the potatoes and cut them into pieces, boil them, mash them with tools, wash the cucumbers and carrots..."

He read word by word, staring at the recipe.

Sudden.

"teacher……"

With the book hanging in his hand, he murmured, "May I cry to you?"

Thistle asked with concern, "What happened?"

Liu Shuowang's hair covered his eyes, so he couldn't see his expression clearly. This kid ran here and asked such words... Ji Shan walked slowly, raised his hand, and put it on his head as usual, Liu Shuowang Grabbing his wrist, he grinned and said, "Just kidding, you really believe it, play a game of basketball with me."

"what?"

"Why do you have such a surprised expression? Go to the place last time, we two will fight one-on-one."

"why?"

Liu Shuowang pushed his shoulder, "I'll help you get the keys, you change your shoes quickly."

Jishan wore a T-shirt and shorts, it was cold outside, he added a jacket, put on the sneakers that he hadn’t seen for a long time, and when he arrived at the court, they warmed up and stretched his muscles beside him.

"Why do you suddenly want to play basketball with me?"

"I want to see how good you are, the last shot might be a bluff," Liu Shuowang patted the ball, "I'm done, let's start, will you go first or me?"

"You first."

"Okay!" Liu Shuowang said, "Let you experience my superb golf skills for yourself."

Thistle smiled.

Liu Shuowang dribbled the ball and ran to Jishan's right. When Jishan's footsteps moved to the right, he returned to the left, taking advantage of this gap to get behind Jishan.Unexpectedly, Jishan also returned to the left to block his way, and made several fake moves in a row, but Jishan saw through them all, but after a while, his whole body was sweating profusely.

He jumped up and threw a ball at the hoop, but it missed and Thistle snatched it.Thistle's eyes told him: Come grab it!Liu Shuowang moved quickly, stretched his hands from the front, the basketball was in Ji Shan's hands freely, easily dodged him, and ran to the opposite basketball hoop.

Before Liu Shuowang could react, Jishan scored a goal.Soon the ball was in Jishan's hands again, Liu Shuowang paid attention to the ball in his hand, and stared fiercely at the basketball that bounced off the ground.

call--

He bumped the thistle and the ball went out of his hands, but it was back in his hands very quickly, great!Liu Shuowang was amazed, no wonder Jishan asked him to practice dribbling, this guy's dribbling skills are not at the same level as his.

"Are you on the basketball team?"

"When I was in high school, I played basketball for three years." Jishan said.

Immediately afterwards, Jishan scored countless goals with various postures, and Liu Shuowang was so out of breath that he didn't even touch the ball.He was lying in the middle of the court, looking at the sky.

Shouted: "Tired-dead."

Ji Shan acted like nothing had happened, she went to her bag and brought him a bottle of mineral water, Liu Shuowang took the water and poured it into her mouth.

"Drink slowly, no one will fight with you, don't choke."

As soon as these words fell, Liu Shuowang coughed uncontrollably. He wiped off the water stains around his mouth, "Crow's Mouth."

Thistle pulled him up, "Go and rest, it's not good for you to lie down right after exercising."

The sky was getting dark, so cold, the two of them were wearing short sleeves, and it wasn't cold at all when the wind blew over.

"I brought biscuits." Thistle took out the wheat cakes, "Replenish your energy."

Liu Shuowang took the biscuit and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Mom said I look better."

"Is your mother back?" He had never seen Liu Shuowang's parents for so long.

"Ah." Liu Shuowang replied.

"How are you?" Thistle asked cautiously.

"Don't talk about it, let me ask you. You see how good you are at the game. If you score a goal later..." Liu Shuowang whispered, "Can I chase you?"

"..." Thistle looked at him in surprise.
