smoke scar

On the first morning when he woke up at home, Su Zhaoxi was woken up by his sister.

Su Yingyue got out of bed with her eyes closed, her mind was not awake at all, she didn't realize that there was someone on the floor, and stepped on it with one foot.Su Zhaoxi was still asleep. He was still lethargic at this time a few days ago, and his biological clock hadn't adapted to it. Then someone stepped on his arm, moved his eyes, and slowly woke up.

"Su Yingyue, what are you doing?" His voice was still confused.

"I'm getting out of bed, I want to go out to play today." Su Yingyue didn't wake up, she didn't open her eyes, she sat beside him, and then fell asleep again.

Su Zhaoxi was not awake at first, seeing Su Yingyue fell asleep, he leaned on her and fell asleep too, the brother and sister staggered back and forth to sleep.

When his mother came to knock on the door, the two siblings woke up. Su Yingyue pushed Su Zhaoxi away, stood up and opened the door.

"Why did you sleep on the floor?" His mother exclaimed when she saw Su Zhaoxi sitting on the ground.

"Mom, it's okay, it's not cold." Su Zhaoxi woke up, her hair curled up in disorder.

"Get up quickly and have breakfast. Your dad came to scold you after getting up late." Mom closed the door and gave them time to get up.

The little girl went to wash up in her pajamas, Su Zhaoxi got up and folded the quilt, and then followed into the bathroom.

Facing himself in the mirror, he felt mixed feelings.I haven't been back for so many years, my parents are very old, my father told him never to come back with a stick, and now he still lets him in after many years of separation.All the remarks at that time are still untenable, he is just a lost child of them.

When eating breakfast, Su Zhaoxi went to get the bowls and chopsticks, the little girl served the dishes, and his father sat on the seat majestically.After a meal, he didn't dare to make a sound. He was afraid of facing his father since he was a child. Even if the incident of coming out of the closet hadn't happened, he would still be afraid.

Father likes girls more, so Su Yingyue is less scolded, and his father is not as strict with Su Yingyue as he is. In short, he dare not talk back to his father easily, and now his father still picks up a stick and beats him. strength.

Su Yingyue finished her meal in silence, put down her chopsticks and was about to go back to her room.Mom stopped her from behind: "Yueyue, take your brother out for a while."

Su Yingyue is not a person who doesn't know how to wink. He knows that the relationship between her brother and her father is not peaceful, and the two may quarrel again when they stay at home, or Su Zhaoxi will be beaten unilaterally, so she nodded and agreed. up.

Fortunately, my father didn't say anything, and didn't lift his eyelids.Su Zhaoxi hurried in after dinner, he felt that he was quite useless, and wanted his sister to come and protect him.

Su Yingyue took him to the market and shopping malls. Now that the New Year is almost over, the shops have already opened their doors.The little girl told him that the shopping mall was newly opened recently, and which small restaurant next to the shopping mall had the best food, Su Zhaoxi listened with gusto along the way.

"Brother, what do you want for lunch?" Su Yingyue turned to ask him with a Coke straw in her mouth. She obviously ate a lot of snacks just now, but now she is thinking about lunch again.

"What do you want to eat?" Su Zhaoxi took a sip of the ice cream in his hand. He felt refreshed when he ate out-of-season ice cream. Forget that I still have this habit.

The little girl tilted her head and thought for a while, then poked his arm: "Do you want to eat potato flour? Mom's cooking is very light these two days. I want to eat super spicy."

Su Zhaoxi thought about it, and this was also on the list of foods that Lu Yuanting forbids him to eat. He always looked down on these small restaurants and felt that they were unhygienic and unclean, so he always took him to high-end restaurants for a meal. Well-behaved, dull.But now that both of them have broken up, it doesn't matter what he does.

The two hit it off immediately, came out of the fast food restaurant and got into the small restaurant again, never turning back on the road of eating junk food.

The small piece of Lu Yuanting's arm that was burned by the smoke was simply treated with anti-inflammatory drugs, and it is not easy to be infected in winter, but the burnt black piece is not very attractive.But he didn't care much, he would remember the meaning behind this scar for a lifetime.

It's the second day since Su Zhaoxi left the city, and he got drunk in just one night, how will he spend tonight?

It has been a long time since he went back to the duplex building. He considered buying another house and refurbishing it. There were so many bad memories in that place that he didn't even have the courage to open the door.

Yi Yuhuai didn't bother him anymore, the two met again after that kiss, and he almost swore in front of Yi Yuhuai that he would never fall in love with her in his life, Yi Yuhuai was right He gave up his heart, and of course, before he left, he poured a drink all over his face.

After Su Zhaoxi left, his life seemed to have lost its center of gravity. Every day he came here in such a daze, not knowing why he worked hard, and what the meaning of hard work was. The assets in his hands are enough for him to live the rest of his life without worrying about food and clothing.

He looked at the few documents piled up on the table and felt a little confused. What exactly does he want now?

Power, money, he has everything, and there are many people who admire him, but there is an empty space in his heart, and no amount of things can fill it.In fact, only one person is enough, as long as that person comes back, as long as he is willing to come back.

The two brothers and sisters slumped on the chairs satisfied after eating, like two lazy cats out to bask in the sun, and began to take a nap after eating.Su Yingyue kicked Su Zhaoxi with her foot, not even bothering to move her hands:

"Su Zhaoxi, go to pay the bill."

Su Zhaoxi was lying comfortably on the chair, but he couldn't resist his sister's errand, so he took out his coat pocket, ready to pay the bill.When he took out his wallet and saw that there were only a bunch of cards in it, he remembered that he had given all the cash to his sister last night.So he stretched out his hand to Su Yingyue, his eyes were a little sleepy: "Give me the money, I gave you all the cash last night."

Su Yingyue opened his hand with a slap, and said in a firm tone: "Impossible, there is no reason to return the money that has been in my pocket. You can use your bank card obediently, and I will protect you in the future." .”

Su Zhaoxi was too lazy to argue with her, he was so lazy, he really wanted to bask in the sun and take a nap.

The two left the store after paying the bill. The sun outside was very warm, but the air was still cold, so they had to wrap themselves in a coat when they went out.Su Zhaoxi lowered his head and buried half of his face in the collar of his coat. The tip of his nose was freezing cold, as if even his breathing was cold. However, the wind began to fill his neck, so he put on his hat again.

Su Yingyue saw her brother's fear of the cold, and began to laugh at him: "Brother, you are like a bear that was awakened during hibernation, afraid of the cold and greedy."

Su Zhaoxi didn't even want to take his hand out of his pocket and hit her, so he fought back with words: "Then you are the snake that slept next to the bear, draining my brother's wallet, and squeezing my brother's labor, cold-blooded It's amazing."

Su Yingyue stood on tiptoe and patted his head distressedly, and said in a pitiful tone: "Brother, do you think a bear will sleep with a snake? Does it kill the bear or does the bear crush it?" what about death?"

Su Zhaoxi made her speechless with anger, turned her head and quickened her pace, deliberately left her behind, and almost ran a red light when crossing the road, but it was Su Yingyue who stretched out her hand to pull him back.

"Brother, has your brain been injured in the past few years? Why are you more stupid than before?"

Su Yingyue looked up at him, her eyes were still distressed, as if her brother had no cure and could only sit on the ground waiting to die, Su Zhaoxi became even more angry.

The two of them fought all the way back home, and when they entered the living room, they saw his father sitting majestically on the sofa, looking at him all the time, Su Zhaoxi's legs went limp, and he almost lost his footing.

"Yueyue, you go back to the house, I'll have a few words with your brother." His father spoke slowly.

Su Yingyue gave him an encouraging look, and went back to the house desperately.Su Zhaoxi didn't dare to look up at his father, swallowed nervously, and started picking at the corners of his clothes restlessly with his fingers.

When Su Yingyue returned to the house, there were only the two of them left in the living room. His mother went out today, and now even if his father came to give him a stick, no one could save him.

"Kneel down for me." His father slapped the coffee table, frowned, and looked at his son who had been separated for many years.

Su Zhaoxi knelt on the ground obediently, feeling extremely nervous, but this day will come sooner or later, and there is no way to avoid it, so let's face it calmly.

"Why did you come back?" He resisted not asking yesterday, but he knew from Su Zhaoxi's expression that he definitely didn't come back just because he was homesick, and he must have encountered something outside.

"I separated from him, and we will never contact him again. I just want to come back and have a look, or take you and mom over there."

The wound in my heart was torn open again, showing bloody.He didn't say a word about that time in captivity, or about his suicide, things that his parents' simple world might not be able to bear.

"I have long said that your relationship is unreliable. He has the power and power to guard an ordinary person like you for the rest of his life? At that time, you insisted on being stubborn with me, but now you know how to turn around after suffering."

His father said to him earnestly: "I asked you to study medicine and be a down-to-earth person. There is no way to reach the sky in one step. Isn't it all a little bit of accumulation? What are you doing now? Are you still a doctor in that hospital?" Woolen cloth?"

Su Zhaoxi knew that his father wanted him to study medicine, so he didn't dare to tell him about quitting his job, he hesitated and said, "I didn't become a doctor anymore, I opened a bookstore."

After he finished speaking, he closed his eyes, and he could imagine his father's angry appearance, as if he had already felt the pain from the stick hitting him.As a result, he waited for a long time, there was no movement at all, no pain in his body, and his father didn't yell at him furiously. He was curious and carefully opened one eye.

His father was still sitting on the sofa, but he covered his face with his hands and bent his back. After a while, he raised his head and said to him: "You can do whatever you want, I shouldn't stop you, earlier You didn’t want to study medicine back then, but now that you’ve grown up and know what’s best for yourself, I won’t stop you.” After speaking, he sighed.

Su Zhaoxi knelt and froze, his father didn't hit him and respected his wishes, he doubted if it was true.He secretly pinched his arm, and when he felt the tingling pain, the corners of his mouth also raised.

"Thank you, Dad." He smiled and thanked his dad with happiness in his eyes.

His father waved him to get up.

"Going out for a few days, you haven't come back for so many years, people think I don't have a son."

Su Zhaoxi smiled and said hello.
