silent age

After two bursts of rain, the weather gradually warmed up. The sun was bright for the first two days. Although it was still early spring, it looked like summer heat.

The wound on Bai Sihuan's arm had just shed a layer of scab, and the gauze was uncomfortably stuffy, so it was removed a long time ago, and the potion was no longer applied.I just let the red scar hang on my arm, and sometimes I didn't pay attention to scratch it when it was itchy, but I could still scratch the bloodshot.

Lin Heng saw that Bai Sihuan's red scar hadn't fully healed for several days, and grabbed his arm and asked, "Why didn't you apply the potion? Is this enough?"

Bai Sihuan withdrew his hand and hid it behind his back, and said stiffly, "It's done."

Lin Heng grabbed his arm, took out a tube of ointment from his pocket and put it on his palm: "Take this ointment and apply it for a few days."

Bai Sihuan slowly clenched the ointment, and let out an "oh".He wouldn't say that it was the first time in his life that he had this kind of treatment. There was a doctor to treat the cut on his hand, there was a lotion to apply, and there was an ointment to repair it.

He accidentally stepped on a nail when he was a child, and his mother just let him wash the wound with soapy water, and he didn't take a tetanus shot, so he healed naturally.

Bai Sihuan put the ointment into his pocket, looked at Lin Heng's face, his lips moved, as if he wanted to say something difficult to say.

Lin Heng smiled and pierced his little thoughts: "What's the matter? What do you want to say to me?"

Bai Sihuan squeezed out a sentence for a long time: "There is something I want to ask."

Seeing his expression, Lin Heng instantly understood: "You want to ask about Second Sister?"

Bai Sihuan didn't speak, but nodded after a while.

Lin Heng sighed, looked into the distance, tried his best to put aside the heaviness in his tone, and said lightly: "I ran away with a street painter."

Bai Sihuan was taken aback, and asked, "She didn't take the college entrance examination?"

"Who knows whether she will take the exam or not, anyway, she won't be returning home. That man, forget it, let's not talk about it."

Bai Sihuan originally wanted to ask "Aunt Cheng how did you say it", but then thought, if Lin Heng didn't mention it at home, how could Cheng Sutang still remember this daughter.

He didn't continue to ask any more questions. He looked at the faint light seeping through the clouds in the distance, and wondered if his fate would be the same in the future.

This semester seemed to go by extremely fast, Lin Heng started school in a blink of an eye, and the number of times he was looking for him became more diligent.In an instant, the number of days for the college entrance examination written on the blackboard changed from tens to single digits.In a blink of an eye, the college entrance examination.In a blink of an eye, the college entrance examination is over.

The moment the bell rang, he stopped writing, packed his things, and left the examination room.

Bai Sihuan took the stationery and walked out of the classroom, as if a big stone fell from his chest, Panasonic let out a big breath.It's just that he suddenly remembered that Lin Xianyan, who had a promising future, might not have taken the exam, and he couldn't help feeling a little sad.

Outside the big iron gate of the campus, there are countless parents.Those who drive cars, ride motorcycles, ride bicycles, and walk, facing the sun, are crowded one by one. When they see the children coming out of the examination room, they all tacitly squeeze away the traffic police who are blocking them to maintain order. And the security guard, leaning on the big iron gate to peek around.

Bai Sihuan glanced at those parents, and at that moment, he wondered naively whether he could see Bai Ying's shadow.

Remembering that today is Bai Yuancheng's birthday, Bai Sihuan smiled self-deprecatingly.The mother should be at the entrance of the pastry shop at the intersection, with the money she had saved so hard, waiting in line to buy cakes for her younger brother to celebrate his birthday.How can I remember him who just finished the college entrance examination today.

When the time was up, the gate opened, and Bai Sihuan followed the flow of people out of the school, passed through the intersection of parents and candidates, and struggled to move in the smell of sweat.

Squeezing out of the crowd, taking a breath of fresh air with the smell of summer leaves, Bai Sihuan found the bicycle parked under the tree.He took out the car keys and walked towards the bicycle, when suddenly someone behind him shouted, "Brother."

He turned his head, his eyes suddenly lit up: "Lin Heng?"

The car key in his hand trembled and almost fell off.

"Finished the exam? How do you feel?" After Lin Heng asked this question, he crossed his hands and answered for him, "At your level, those questions should be trivial to you." Said sadly, "Oh, I can no longer be in the same school as you, so sad."

Bai Sihuan only felt that his mind went blank after finishing the paper, and he couldn't recall what questions he had done.He habitually showed a shy smile, and replied: "It's okay, after the exam, I don't remember anything."

Lin Heng stared at the boy's face in the sun, put his shoulders and said: "Okay, don't think about it, let's go, I will treat you to a delicious meal, to celebrate the end of your high school career. Give me the keys, and I will ride the car." , I will carry you."

When Bai Sihuan gave him the key, recalling the painful experience of being carried by him for the first time, he couldn't help asking worriedly: "Are you able to carry people?"

Lin Heng clicked his tongue and gave him a blank look.Bai Sihuan shut up and stopped questioning, with a worried heart, he sat on the back seat of the bicycle anxiously.

Lin Heng was not at all like someone who had just learned to ride a bicycle. He drove Bai Sihuan away, like a bird breaking free from a cage, galloping recklessly on the road.

Bai Sihuan grabbed Lin Heng's clothes nervously, and whispered "slow down", but Lin Heng didn't seem to hear it, and continued to drive on the road paved by Jinsui's sunshine.

Sometimes when Bai Sihuan recalled this day, he would feel a little regretful. He hadn't been carried by anyone like this on weekdays. He should have taken a good look at the scenery that he hadn't seen carefully, and enjoyed the enjoyment that he hadn't enjoyed.Blame him, only focus on grabbing Lin Heng's shirt, only focus on looking at Lin Heng's back, and care about the needless happiness in this somewhat necessary worry.

Then all the security that could belong to him was missed.

Lin Heng took Bai Sihuan to a western restaurant on the Bund for dinner.In Lin's house, Bai Sihuan only ate Chinese food. It was the first time he was exposed to Western food. Bai Sihuan didn't understand anything, and he couldn't use a knife and fork. He was afraid of being laughed at, so he didn't move when the food was served.

With the knife and fork in hand, Lin Heng had already tried two dishes. Seeing that Bai Sihuan still didn't move, he frowned and asked, "Why don't you eat?"

Bai Sihuan shook his head and said, "I'm not very hungry."

Lin Heng had heard his stomach rumbling a long time ago, so of course he wouldn't believe his nonsense.

He saw Bai Sihuan put the knife and fork aside, and touched the handle of the knife intentionally or unintentionally, as if he understood something.

Lin Heng sat upright, and demonstrated to Bai Sihuan: "Hold it like this, cut it like this."

Bai Sihuan blushed in embarrassment after being seen through his heart.Reluctantly raising his head, he took Lin Heng's demonstration into his eyes carefully, imitated his appearance, picked up the knife and fork, and carefully slashed the steak.

Lin Heng couldn't help laughing, Bai Sihuan's hand shook suddenly, feeling that Lin Heng seemed to be laughing at himself, he became anxious, lowered his head even more, and swiped the blade vigorously on the three-ripe steak.

Seeing that the plate made him toss and rattle, Lin Heng hurriedly stopped: "Hey, hey, I don't know how much hatred you have with this steak. You have to cut it in the direction of it, and cut it coherently. Such a knife and a knife How long will it take to row?"

Bai Sihuan was immediately at a loss, and felt like throwing the knife and fork away.

Lin Heng had already sliced ​​the steak on his plate into pieces, and at this moment he happened to be Bai Sihuan's savior, swapping his own steak with his.

"Eat, don't be dumb." Lin Heng said to the wide-eyed Bai Sihuan.

Bai Sihuan was flattered for a moment, as far as he knew, Lin Heng usually had to look at the appearance of the dishes when eating, and he would not even touch a dish if it didn't look good.

It is a rare thing to be willing to eat this piece of steak that has been cut into a mess by him.

This is nothing, in order to reduce Bai Sihuan's troubles, Lin Heng simply took care of every dish that needed a knife and fork and put it on his plate, even the Boston lobster that had been shelled early. Help him pick out the meat.

Lin Heng saw that Bai Sihuan's eyes were bright, and he looked comfortable eating the food he had prepared for him, unconsciously raised the corners of his lips, and smiled.Suddenly, I feel that these unremarkable dishes are a little bit like delicious food in the world.

After welcoming Mr. Zhu's guest, Cheng Sutang began to take business affairs home.During this summer vacation, Bai Sihuan met many guests who seemed extraordinary.

They always come in one after another, and under the leadership of Lao Pei, they go to the round table meeting room at the end.Lin Huan, who is not at home all year round, also lives at home this summer vacation.Whenever the door of that meeting room was closed, Bai Sihuan felt that there was some ulterior secret hidden behind that door.

It seems that few people really care about the loss of Lin Xianyan's aura in the family.Or, she was originally a dispensable person, from the beginning to the end, only Bai Sihuan cared about her.

Lin Heng often got bored with Bai Sihuan, and Karen was like a disgraced concubine who had been cast into the cold palace, wandering around under their legs twice in three days and whining.

It was only then that Lin Heng remembered that he hadn't taken Karen for a walk in the park for a long time, and remembering this incident, he had to take Bai Sihuan to walk the dog with him.

Dragging Karen to the park for a walk, Lin Heng brought up Bai Sihuan's university problem again: "Go to university locally."

Bai Sihuan was taken aback, the answer in his heart was still vague, so he could only say, "The score hasn't come out yet."

Lin Heng didn't seem to understand what he meant, and said to himself: "There are many good local universities, Fudan, Jiaotong University, Tongji, China Normal University..."

Bai Sihuan felt that Lin Heng had read a string of immortal names, so he hurriedly stopped him from continuing: "We'll talk about it when the scores come out!"

Lin Heng glanced at him, sighed slightly and said, "Okay, when you fill out your volunteer application, you must call me along."

Bai Sihuan looked at Karen who was walking ahead diligently, and replied, "Oh."

He has been wondering whether his future will be as smooth and stable as expected.
