silent age

In the afternoon of the second day after the appointment, Bai Sihuan saw that Lin Xianyan had a cold and hadn't woken up for a nap, so he thought that she asked the art teacher for a leave of absence from painting.

He breathed a sigh of relief and rummaged in the closet for the clothes he should wear when he was going out.

"Tomorrow you will wear the blue dress I gave you."

Remembering what Lin Heng said to him yesterday, he dug out the blue shirt.

I just changed my clothes one minute before, and Lin Xianyan hurriedly pushed the door in the next minute: "Sihuan! Sihuan! I'm going to be late! I'm going to be late!"

Bai Sihuan was stunned for a moment, blinked his eyes and asked blankly: "What? You didn't ask for leave? But you caught a cold..."

"Professors from all major art colleges will come for the professional exam today, I have to go! Hurry up!" Lin Xianyan didn't give him any excuses or give himself more time to explain, he came in and pushed Bai Sihuan away.

Bai Sihuan hesitated for a moment, but still took Lin Xianyan to go.

He thought that as long as he rode faster on the way back and forth, he would definitely be able to catch up with the agreed time with Lin Heng.But I didn't expect to encounter a serious traffic jam on the way back, and the bicycle slowly shuttled through the crowd for several hours before riding home.

An afternoon has passed.When Bai Sihuan hurried home, the servant was already preparing dinner.

Lin Heng was sitting on the sofa wearing a red shirt of the same style as him, with a gloomy face, as if waiting for this moment.

Bai Sihuan walked up to him, guilt made his steps gradually heavy: "Lin Heng, I..."

Lin Heng glanced at him coldly, holding back the words he wanted to scold, but he didn't utter a word in the end, and went upstairs without saying a word, and didn't plan to eat.

The housekeeper who never liked to talk to Bai Sihuan had no choice but to remind Bai Sihuan: "Today is Master Heng's birthday."

Bai Sihuan's fingers trembled, and the sense of guilt mixed with shame grew stronger.

Lingering at the door of Lin Heng's room for a long time, Bai Sihuan finally knocked on the door.At first I knocked lightly twice, and finally I knocked three or four times harder, but no one inside responded.

Just as Bai Sihuan was about to leave in despair, the door was suddenly opened.

"Bai Sihuan, what exactly do you mean?" Lin Heng leaned against the door, his anger suppressed to the extreme, and the questioning words were still chilling.

Bai Sihuan hesitated, and after a while he managed to say: "Happy birthday."

Lin Heng laughed back angrily: "You let me go, and now you just say happy birthday?"

"I'm sorry, I shouldn't... I shouldn't break the appointment."

Seeing that Bai Sihuan was about to cry, Lin Heng's anger gradually receded and his heart softened.

He took a deep breath and tried to say something salvageable.

"What's the use of you saying this? You have to make it up to me and spend my birthday with me tonight."

"Don't do this again next time, this is the last time."

Before these words could be said, Bai Sihuan's cell phone rang.

Bai Sihuan looked at the text message lying on the phone, faltered and said in a low voice: "I have to pick up Ah Yan..."

Time seemed to freeze after his last word, and the enthusiasm ignited in Lin Heng's heart turned into nothingness in an instant and cooled into ice.

"I'm fucking sick too." The sentence was thrown on the ground, in front of Bai Sihuan. With a "bang", Lin Heng slammed the door shut.

After that day, Lin Heng didn't speak to Bai Sihuan again.A week passed quickly, and in a blink of an eye it was the day when school started, and the two were separated for a long time.

Lin Heng was admitted to Bai Sihuan's school. After entering high school, he began to make girlfriends, changing them quickly like a lantern.

Since taking on the title of "Senior Senior Student", Bai Sihuan's study pressure has become more and more serious, and his homework has become more and more serious day by day.Except for going to the bathroom, he has nothing special to do, and he will never leave his seat, nor will he take his eyes off the exercises on the table.

Sometimes when he saw Lin Heng walking by the window with a girl's shoulders in his arms, he stopped writing and looked at it for a while, the feeling in his heart couldn't be explained clearly, and it disappeared in an instant, regained his state of mind, and continued to bow his head to write questions.

After Lin Heng went to the same high school as him, he still hadn't said a word to him. In school, they seemed to be strangers to each other.Sometimes when they met, Bai Sihuan wanted to say hello, but Lin Heng passed him by with his arms around the new faces as if he hadn't seen him.

The winter vacation is approaching, and Bai Sihuan goes home to celebrate the New Year.One day, Lin Xianyan came to Bai Sihuan with his mobile phone and said, "Brother will be back tomorrow, let us think about where to go, he will take us there."

Bai Sihuan was a little excited. Lin Siying hadn't been home for nearly three years since he went to study in Vancouver with his good friend. This year, he would go home for the Chinese New Year, which inevitably made Bai Sihuan and Lin Xianyan a little excited.

Bai Sihuan thought of Lin Heng, and said to Lin Xianyan, "When Lin Heng comes back, ask him."

"Him? He wouldn't want to go out with us." Lin Xianyan curled his lips as if recalling something, "Every time he thinks we are playing too crazy, we have no image. This young master is only willing to go to some high-end places Drink coffee and watch the night view."

Bai Sihuan said "Is that so?" and didn't continue talking, but the enthusiasm in his heart was gone.Without Lin Heng, this matter seemed less worth looking forward to than expected.

In the afternoon, a strange girl came to Lin's house and threatened the maid with a bottle of pesticide, saying that if she didn't open the door, she would commit suicide at the gate of Lin's house.The maid had no choice but to open the door and let her in.

Lin Heng went out on a date with his new girlfriend. The only people in the house were Bai Sihuan and Lin Xianyan, so she found them.

After the girl entered the door, she sat down on the sofa in the foyer, crossed her legs and said, "I have seeds from your Lin family in my stomach. If you don't give me money, I will tell the media that your young master Lin family didn't learn well at a young age, and you are promiscuous everywhere. planted outside."

Lin Xianyan looked at the "Master of the Lin family" who was present, obviously he didn't think Bai Sihuan would be such a person.Asked the girl: "Whose?"

"Who else could it be, Lin Heng's. You don't remember me? He brought me to your house not long ago."

Lin Xianyan had a bad tone when he met someone who wanted money and was arrogant, and said with a cold snort, "The girls he brought back can be lined up on Panyu Road from here, who remembers you."

Bai Sihuan didn't say anything, went back to the room, took out the card that Lin Siying gave him back then, and handed it to the girl: "I don't know how much money is in it, let's see if it's enough."

The girl accepted the card unceremoniously, and said with a smile, "Pull out one hair from your Lin family, and it will be enough for us to live half our lives. I still want to have an abortion, and I want to go to a better hospital."

Lin Xianyan frowned and said: "The hospital is off work today, wait until tomorrow, I will take you there tomorrow."

She didn't investigate whether the child in the girl's womb belonged to Lin Heng. Lin Heng was going to provoke others.It's easy to deal with the kind of people who want money and are willing to have an abortion, but it's not a problem to meet the kind of people who have to ask for fame and points.

As brothers and sisters, they have to handle this matter well if they are able to handle it. It will always be troublesome to let their parents know. If people outside know it, the face of the Lin family will be lost.For a family like theirs, face is bigger than the sky.This is the truth that Bai Sihuan only understood after a long time.

At night, Lin Xianyan made three phone calls, the first one was Lin Heng, but Lin Heng didn't answer.The second one called her elder brother Lin Siying and told him about it.The third one called the eldest sister, Lin Musheng, and asked her to recommend a better hospital.

The girl stayed here at night, Lin Heng stayed out tonight and did not come back.

Lin Siying rushed home at [-]:[-] a.m. the next day. She didn't need to study academic papers this year, so it was rare for her to come back. She wanted to stay at home and follow girl groups to watch live broadcasts, and live the fat house life he dreamed of. Heng this matter.

Before Bai Sihuan and Lin Xianyan had time to say hello, he went back to his room and fell asleep for two hours.

At eight o'clock, Lin Siying got up, and the three brothers and sisters took the girl to the hospital. Lin Xianyan asked out the eldest sister, Lin Musheng.

This was the first time that Bai Sihuan saw this eldest sister who was kicked out of the house by Cheng Sutang early and was living in the discussion.

I heard that this eldest sister is not well married, she is a down-and-out ballet dancer, her appearance is not as bright as theirs, her skin is not well maintained from head to toe, her complexion is yellow and thin.

Lin Musheng was ten years older than them, so far she has no child, she was pregnant twice, but in the end she couldn't keep it and lost it.She has experience in this area and also has the feeling of being a "mother".

After arriving at the hospital, he greeted his younger brothers and sisters, and Lin Musheng went to pull the girl and chatted with him in a friendly voice.

The money for the girl's abortion in the hospital was given by Lin Siying, and Lin Musheng also took out a copy and said that she would buy some supplements for the girl.At this time, Lin Xianyan was looking at the chatting news on his phone, and Lin Heng sent a picture of him shopping with his new girlfriend.

In the afternoon, the girl went in for surgery, Lin Heng finally came after hearing the news.

Seeing him casually appearing, with a face that didn't concern him, Lin Xianyan became furious and cursed: "Look at the trouble you caused!"

Lin Heng didn't have much reaction to the trouble he caused, and smiled indifferently: "What trouble did I cause? Isn't it just taking someone to the hospital for an abortion, and it's not like the sky is falling."

"If Si Huan and I hadn't stopped her yesterday, she would have shown her face in front of the media by now, how can you be so leisurely!"

"Si Huan Si Huan... You are so intimate. It seems that it won't be long before it's your turn to 'cause trouble'!"

"What the fuck are you talking about!"

The two quarreled in the hospital corridor, just like every quarrel in the past.He shouldn't be surprised, but this time, maybe the smell of the hospital medicine gave Bai Sihuan a headache, and he felt dizzy for a while.

Maybe he didn't notice it himself, since the girl appeared, the girl said she was pregnant with Lin Heng's child, and the girl said she wanted to have an abortion, until now, his mind has been dizzy.

The quarrel between Lin Heng and Lin Xianyan has changed, and Lin Heng questioned Lin Xianyan instead: "When I was in junior high school, I took him to the hospital for injections, and let him ride a bicycle every day to take you to learn painting. Now you both have to bring a girl to abort her." Together, why is the relationship so good, huh? Do you really treat him as a brother?"

With a crisp "snap", Lin Heng's face suddenly had a fiery palm print, and Lin Siying, who had been standing quietly by the side for a long time, slapped him.

This slap silenced everyone, Lin Heng looked at Lin Siying in disbelief: "Brother, did you hit me?"

"Why can't I beat you? There are two lives lying in it now. Who left this mess? We will help you clean up the mess. What right do you have to be weird here! Listen to what you said What are they talking about...!" No matter how good-tempered the big brother is, at this moment, he finally couldn't help but lose his temper.

Although Lin Heng always scolded people without choice, but this time, it was to the point that even Lin Siying couldn't stand it.

Lin Heng turned his head and sneered: "It's nice to say that you are helping me. How do I know who left that child?"

"How do you know? You never touched her?"

Lin Heng moved his lips, but did not answer, his eyes turned to Bai Sihuan, but Bai Sihuan only lowered his eyes, standing in line with Lin Xianyan, as if he only encloses Lin Xianyan in his own world.

Swallowing back what she was going to say, Lin Heng stood up straight, and said casually: "Yeah, I touched it, what's the matter? Everyone can get on the bus, as long as I don't think it's dirty, she let others go Throw something in it, and blame me for the accident?"

Lin Siying raised her hand to slap her down again, but Bai Sihuan came up to stop him: "Brother, don't hit me."

Seeing Bai Sihuan coming out to stop him, Lin Heng's eyes seemed to be mixed with a glimmer of hope. At this moment, Bai Sihuan said, "This is a hospital, and it will affect others."

The light in Lin Heng's eyes disappeared, and he looked at Bai Sihuan's eyes with both anger and hatred.

Bai Sihuan seemed to feel his complicated and venomous eyes, felt uncomfortable, and said, "I'm going to buy water." He quickly left here.

At this time, Lin Musheng came out from the corner, and when she saw Lin Heng, her lips trembled, and she called out "Ah Heng" happily.

Lin Heng didn't seem to hear it, and without even looking at the eldest sister, he turned around and followed Bai Sihuan.

Bai Sihuan bought five bottles of mineral water at the canteen. On this snowy day, the hand holding the money was so cold that he couldn't help shaking, his eyes were white with snow, his mind seemed to be blank, and even his heart was so cold that he was shaking.

He wrapped a new scarf around his neck, put one hand in his pocket, and held a bag of water in the other.When he turned around, he saw Lin Heng walking towards him.

Bai Sihuan took out a bottle of water and handed it to him.

Lin Heng took the water, remained silent for a few seconds, and asked Bai Sihuan: "Is there anything you want to ask me?"

He stuck the phrase "Actually, she and I" in his throat, waiting for Bai Sihuan's question, waiting for his own answer.

Bai Sihuan blinked his eyes twice, and finally said: "Remember to be more careful next time."

Lin Heng choked back what he was about to say, took a deep breath, turned around, and his steps were not stable due to the sullen emotions.He threw the mineral water out of his hand and cursed: "Fuck!"
