He put his hands in his pockets and stared at Ruan Yi, with a slight frown between his brows on his usually expressionless face.

Yuan Jin asked, "What are you doing here?"

"Wait someone."

"Wait for who?"

It's hard to explain this matter too clearly, Ruan Yi smiled: "I just saw a person who looks like someone I know, but I'm not sure."

Yuan Jin glanced at him: "Isn't it cold?"

The wind at [-] or [-] o'clock in the evening, blowing on the body is not only cold, but also has a kind of wet chill, as if it can suck out the temperature in the bones through the skin.Although Ruan Yi put on a piece of clothing over his school uniform, he still couldn't bear the cold wind.

"I'll just wait a minute," he said.

"How long?"

"Wait until 10:30. If he doesn't come out, I'll be back."

Another gust of wind blew, Ruan Yi's eyelashes were blown up and down, left and right, he squinted his eyes.

Yuan Jin said, "Don't wait."

"Ok?"

"Give me the photo, and I'll get someone to take a look at it for you."

"Thank you." Ruan Yi found a photo and sent it to him.

After a while, Yuan Jin's phone screen lit up.He glanced at it and handed the phone to Ruan Yi: "Is it him?"

Ruan Yi looked at the somewhat blurred figure, fell silent for a moment, and turned off the phone.

He returned the phone to Yuan Jin: "Thank you."

"No need." After Yuan Jin finished speaking, he turned and walked into Yuetai Mountain.

Ruan Yi stood for a while, took out his mobile phone and called his second uncle.

The phone rang a few times before being hung up, and after 2 minutes, the second uncle called him back: "Ruan Yi, I was talking to someone outside, it's not convenient to answer the phone just now. What's wrong?"

"I'm on Yuetaishan."

The second uncle froze.After a while, he whispered, "Oh... really."

Ruan Yi said, "I'll wait for you outside."

He hung up the phone.

Ten minutes later, the second uncle stood in front of him.

Ruan Yi heard the sound of his teeth chattering lightly.

Ruan Yi was silent for a moment.At this moment, the thing that was as heavy as sea water and as sticky as glue stuck in his throat was probably just because he remembered that when he was in elementary school, the teacher assigned a composition: "My Father".

It was this man he wrote about.

He said lightly: "Just now... I saw it."

The second uncle's face turned pale all of a sudden.

Ruan Yi's eyes swept over his trembling fingers.He said, "If you want to smoke, just smoke."

The second uncle paused, lit a cigarette with shaking hands, and bit the filter tightly.

"Ruan Yi." He grabbed Ruan Yi excitedly, not even noticing the red-hot ash bomb in his hand, "Second uncle knows, there will be no next time for this matter, I promise, there will never be a next time—"

"You shouldn't promise to me." Ruan Yi looked at him, "You should promise to Ergu and Li Ke."

"I..." Second Uncle swallowed with difficulty, "I know, I know. Ruan Yi, don't tell them about this. I'm only here today to entertain, next time..."

"Are you going to say it, or am I going?"

The second uncle stared at him, his lips trembling: "How did I treat you, how I treated you since I was a child. Ruan Yi, tell me yourself?"

"In these years, I have treated you the same as my own son. Whether it is food, food, play or anything else, as long as Li Ke has it, I will prepare a lot for you. You live in junior high school , I will go to school to see you every week."

"Also, when you were five years old, you wanted to learn calligraphy. I found a teacher, but he was unwilling to accept you. In the winter, I braved the knee-deep snow to visit him, and it took three trips. Ruan Yi, Even if it's your own father, I don't believe he can do better than me!"

Ruan Yi thought, if it wasn't like this, maybe when he saw the blurry figure in the photo just now, he wouldn't feel like someone stepped on his chest.Uncomfortable, unprecedented uncomfortable.Not angry, not disappointed, just uncomfortable.

It was so uncomfortable that at that moment, his whole body suddenly felt disheartened.

He said, "Go and confess to them."

This was the last respect he gave to his second uncle.

"Ruan Yi, have you ever thought about how your second aunt felt after hearing these things? She is so strong, how can she accept this? She loves you so much, and you just watch her feel uncomfortable? I will change it, and I will never I won't do this anymore, isn't it okay? Why do you have to say it and make her sad? And Li Ke, your sister is now in the second grade of junior high school, she has to study, and things at home can't distract her. I know I was wrong , I made a big mistake, but for their sake, give Second Uncle a chance to make amends, okay?"

Ruan Yi shook his head.

"Compared to false happiness and joy..." he said, "their lives are more important to me."

The second uncle's face was extremely ugly.He stared at Ruan Yi, with resentment, remorse, anger, and complicated sadness in his red eyes.

"Go and confess to Second Aunt before this weekend. Tell Li Ke or not, you and Second Aunt will discuss the decision."

The second uncle stared at him.After a long time, he threw the cigarette butt on the ground and stamped it out with his foot: "OK."

After speaking, he sneered.

"Ruan Yi, do you know that when your second aunt took you over, Li Ke's grandma was particularly opposed. She always hoped that your second aunt and I would have another son, but after raising you, we both had to earn money and pay more money. Taking care of the children will definitely not take care of this. She doesn't know what method she used to convince your own father, Liang Xu, to come over and persuade me. "

"Liang Xu said this to me at the time, three-year-old looks old, seven-year-old looks old, Ruan Yi looks good to everyone, but in fact he is colder than anyone else. Just let me give you a bite of food, don't I really treat you like my son."

"I didn't believe it at the time, so I scolded him." The second uncle laughed hoarsely, "Now that I think about it, it's true. No wonder your father started from nothing, and now he can make the building materials business second to none in Yangcheng. Judging people is accurate, you have to obey."

He smiled and turned away.

After a while, Ruan Yi bent down, picked up the stamped out cigarette butt on the ground, and threw it into the trash can on the street.

In the cold wind, he felt a little cold.

It shouldn't be cold after a while.

The phone rang.Ruan Yi glanced at the screen.

He pressed connect.

Lu Bingchen's voice was full of laughter: "I sent you a WeChat message this afternoon, why didn't you reply to me?"

Ruan Yi said, "Lu Bingchen."

There was an imperceptible hoarseness in his voice, which Lu Bingchen noticed immediately.He immediately became gentle: "What's wrong?"

Ruan Yi thought: Why you?

He was really a little puzzled, why did someone call him at this time, and why was Lu Bingchen the one who called?This kind of coincidence, for some reason, made him feel ridiculous, but he couldn't laugh at all.

Ruan Yi said: "I'm fine, but I'm a little cold. If you're fine, go to bed early."

He hung up the phone.

Lu Bingchen held the phone and pursed his lips.After a while, he said to the man beside him: "Change the ticket, I'll go back tonight."

"Yes." The man looked it up: "The nearest one is... it takes off at two o'clock in the morning and lands in Yangcheng at four o'clock."

"Just this class."

It was almost eleven o'clock, and the road outside Yuetai Mountain was like flowing water, with countless lights flickering on and off, like a river of stars that kept converging and diverging.

Ruan Yi looked at it for a while, then turned his gaze, unexpectedly seeing Yuan Jin.

He stood in the street, pale, and stepped on two steps.The cold wind blew past, and the lonely body swayed.

Ruan Yi felt that something was wrong with him.Before he could walk over, he saw Yuan Jin bowed his waist and put his hands on his legs.Then there was no extra movement, just keeping this posture motionless.

Ruan Yi walked up to him and smelled a strong smell of alcohol.

"Yuan Jin?" Ruan Yi called him.

Yuan Jin raised his head slowly.

His eyes are very dark, and when he stares at someone without blinking, he always looks extraordinarily cold, but now, his eyes are particularly blank: "You..."

Ruan Yi was wondering if he couldn't even recognize people?It turned out that Yuan Jin didn't look at him, but stared at the cloud of air on the left side of his head, his expression seemed to be trying to recognize him.

Ruan Yi: ...

He had no choice but to say: "May I use your mobile phone? Make a call and ask your family to come and pick you up."

Yuan Jin didn't respond.

"Or where is your home, I'll take you back."

Yuan Jin shook his head.

"No?" Ruan Yi asked, "Why?"

"I didn't..." Yuan Jin just opened his mouth when he suddenly fell down, and Ruan Yi quickly supported him.This man looked thin, but he was not light. Ruan Yi almost staggered under his pressure.

After finally supporting the man to stand still, he saw Yuan Jin closed his eyes and passed out.

Ruan Yi: ...

Ten minutes later, he dragged Yuan Jin out of the taxi.The driver saw that the two of them were not very old, but they were very drunk, and they got on the bus from a place like Yuetai Mountain. He was very worried and angry about these two teenagers, and he educated them impassionedly.

Ruan Yi could only listen.I couldn't bear to hear half of it, turned on the phone to record, and prepared to force Yuan Jin to suffer tomorrow.

After the car stopped at the alley, Ruan Yi went to the pharmacy to buy a box of medicine, and then walked home with Yuan Jin.

He had thought that the night would be full of fuss.After all, Yuan Jin's face was frighteningly pale, and he had passed out, with his hands still covering his stomach, his brows were frowning, and he looked extremely uncomfortable.Ruan Yi was already ready to take him to the emergency room in the middle of the night, but after a night, Yuan Jin didn't move at all, and just fell asleep without a sound.

The next morning, the alarm clock rang on time.

Ruan Yi got out of bed, walked out of the bedroom, looked at the sofa bed, and found that it was empty and no one was there.

He was taken aback, and suddenly heard Yuan Jin's voice from the kitchen: "Are you awake?"

The voice was still the same as usual, cold and indifferent.

"Yeah." Ruan Yi walked over, only to find that Yuan Jin had brought back a few drawers of steamed dumplings and steamed buns, as well as millet porridge and side dishes.

He was a little ashamed immediately: "Wake up so early, when did you go out to buy?"

"Not long."

"I bought a box of medicine last night. The nurse told me it was for stomach pain after drinking. Do you want to take it?"

Yuan Jin glanced at the medicine box: "Omeprazole? No more."

He has been taking this medicine for too long, and now it has no effect.

Ruan Yi asked, "Can't you eat it?"

Yuan Jin said lightly: "It has side effects, it will cause dizziness and drowsiness after eating." This is also true.But in the past, when the medicine could still work on him, this side effect existed, and he didn't care about it.Anyway, as soon as I arrive at school, I cover my head and go to sleep, and it will be fine when I wake up.

"You recovered quite quickly. I saw that you were so drunk last night, and I thought you must ask Lao Zheng for leave today."

"I've been drinking outside with Zhang Ziming since junior high school." Yuan Jin said calmly, "It's nothing."

In his previous life, Ruan Yi knew a person who drank a lot. A table of people drank, and the others couldn't drink him down.Later that person told Ruan Yi that this was the amount of alcohol he practiced when he was in school.At that time, I skipped class every day at noon and went out to drink with my buddies. At the beginning, I would get drunk easily after drinking a little, but then I didn’t feel the same after drinking a lot.

Ruan Yi was also a casual acquaintance with that person in his previous life, so he doesn't know how his body will be after the age of 30.

He said, "You should pay more attention to your body."

The side dish that Yuan Jin bought back was a box of small dried fish, sprinkled with sesame seeds, bright red and clear.Ruan Yi tasted one, it tasted sweet, spicy, and quite chewy.He asked, "What is this?"

"Gold thread fish."

"Where did you buy it?"

"The 24-hour convenience store at the entrance of the alley."

Ruan Yi became more and more addicted to eating, and picked up another one: "It's delicious."

Yuan Jin smiled: "I also think it's delicious."

It was the first time Ruan Yi saw him smile, although the corners of his lips were only slightly curved.

He froze for a moment, and then laughed: "Yuan Jin, let me ask you a question."

"what?"

"Did you seldom smile since you were a child, or did you not smile much when you grew up?"

Yuan Jin's voice returned to his usual indifference: "I don't know."

"Can not remember?"

"Who would remember whether he liked to laugh or not when he was a child?"

"My sister." Ruan Yi said, "When she was in kindergarten, she was kicked out of the classroom and punished by the teacher because she liked to laugh too much. She still remembers this." Of course, he also remembered.Because every time Li Ke was kicked out of the classroom and squatted in the corner crying, he had to go downstairs from the big class to coax him.Later, the whole kindergarten knew that Ruan Yi had a younger sister who was in the elementary class and was punished by the teacher every day for laughing.

"why?"

"Children always laugh alone and the other laughs too. When she smiles, the whole class laughs together, and the teacher can't teach the class at all."

After a while, Yuan Jin asked suddenly: "Is Liang Yu your younger brother?"

Ruan Yi said: "Same father and half mother."

"He is very close to Zhang Ziming now."

"Ah."

"He... doesn't like you." Yuan Jin slightly accentuated his voice.

"I know."

"The reason why Zhang Ziming can't get along with you is not only because of Lin He's coming, but also because of him."

If fanning the flames and provoking behind the scenes is considered a skill, Liang Yu has definitely mastered this skill to the point of perfection.From childhood to adulthood, those who come to trouble Ruan Yi can basically have something to do with him.Ruan Yi smiled: "Oh."

Yuan Jin said, "Be careful."

"He hates me for more than a day or two, and I'm used to it. It's you." Ruan Yi shook his head, "He is close to Zhang Ziming, and you are also close to Zhang Ziming. I feel that the tempers of the two of you should not get along. "

After a while, Yuan Jin said, "He is very different from you."

"You don't look like Zhang Ziming either." Ruan Yi said with a smile, "I've always been quite strange, how did you get to play together?"

Yuan Jin was silent.

After a long while, he said softly, "We've known each other since we were very young. My dad has been working with his dad since he was in his 20s, and has been working with him until now."

Ruan Yi nodded.

To be honest, he felt a little regretful.

Yuan Jin and Zhang Ziming are not the same kind of people, but in school, except for those around Zhang Ziming, the attitude of others towards Yuan Jin is basically the same as towards Zhang Ziming. It is contempt, disgust and repulsion.

Sometimes, Ruan Yi can see a subtle self-loathing from Yuan Jin, as if the coldest thing in him is not for others, but for himself.

After eating, they packed up and got ready for school.

Ruan Yi opened the door.

As if waiting for his door lock to turn.The next second, the door next door also opened.

Lu Bingchen came out from the opposite side.

The bright morning light slanted into the corridor, illuminating his face like white jade, his eyes seemed to be transparent, and even his smile seemed to be golden yellow dyed by the sun.

Yuan Jin changes shoes behind Ruan Yi's back.He tied his shoelaces, and suddenly found that Ruan Yi was standing still, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Lu Bingchen's smile suddenly cooled down.

The corner of his mouth was still slightly raised: "Ruan Yi, who is it?"

Ruan Yi never expected to see him here at this moment.Although the smile on Lu Bingchen's face was perfect and impeccable, he could still see the chill in his heart from the depths of those midnight-like dark eyes.

Ruan Yi asked coldly, "Why are you here?"

His cold voice and expression made Lu Bingchen's heart shrink, and he almost subconsciously closed his eyes.Then he forced himself to move the corners of his mouth, maintaining a smile that was not a smile, "I moved here."

His gaze swept across Yuan Jin's face, and he said softly, "I wanted to give you a surprise."

Ruan Yi subconsciously blocked Yuan Jin.

Lu Bingchen's gaze moved from Ruan Yi's tense back to his vigilant eyes.He almost couldn't maintain the smile on the corner of his mouth, his hands in his pockets were clenched into fists, and his veins bulged.

Even though he had warned himself countless times to restrain himself and be patient, when he faced Ruan Yi's guard and refusal, when he saw Ruan Yi smiling easily beside others, but changed his eyes the moment he saw him However, Lu Bingchen still had an uncontrollable urge to tear something up.

He walked slowly towards Yuan Jin, like a leopard looking for food, staring straight at the prey, with every step he took there was a kind of innate elegance, but also extremely ruthless.

"You are Yuan Jin."

"Yes."

"I still have something to talk to him about." Lu Bingchen stared at him with bent eyes, "If Ruan Yi didn't show up for early self-study, remember to ask him for leave."

Yuan Jin frowned, Ruan Yi said: "Yuan Jin, you go to school first, I'll be there in a while."

There were only the two of them left in the corridor.

Ruan Yi closed his eyes and took a deep breath: "What's the matter with you?"

After waiting for a long time, he didn't hear Lu Bingchen speak.

Ruan Yi opened his eyes and was suddenly stunned.

Lu Bingchen's eyes were red.

"I didn't sleep last night. I rushed back by plane at two o'clock in the morning." He said softly, "Because I called you yesterday and felt that you were in a bad mood. I thought something happened to you."

"The houses here haven't been cleaned yet, but I arrived in Yangshi at four o'clock in the morning, and I came here directly. I wanted to see you sooner. It was already past five o'clock when I got here. I don't know when you get up , didn’t knock on the door, just sat near the door and waited for you to come out. When you opened the door, I was a little smug, thinking that you would be happy to see me—doesn’t that sound ridiculous?”

"Ruan Yi." Lu Bingchen lowered his head and asked tremblingly, "Do you really hate me?"
