defenseless

The lecturer was old man Li, and Chen Nan fell asleep for as long as he spoke.

When Lu Xiao woke him up, the people in the classroom had almost left.

Chen Nan rubbed her face, and when she was packing her things, she saw Ling Fei's text message to him: I'm at home.

Ling Fei almost never took the initiative to send him text messages.

Chen Nan suddenly felt his heart beating fast, and a bad premonition enveloped his heart.

"I won't go to your house today," Chen Nan lowered her head and took out a few papers from the drawer, "My mother is back."

"Well," Lu Xiao replied, "It happens that you and Xiao Su go back together."

Su Youyu was slowly collecting things at the front table, and did not express any opinion on their conversation.

Chen Nan took the bus home at the school gate, and Chen Nan and Su Youyu walked to the intersection one after the other.

The young man didn't know how to hide his emotions, the two had their own concerns, the atmosphere was silent and strangely harmonious, and they didn't say much when they got in the car.

It wasn't until the gate of Jinxi Garden that Chen Nan asked, "Which district are you in?"

Su Youyu: "Area C."

Chen Nan: "I'm in Area A, let's go, see you at the bus stop at five o'clock tomorrow afternoon."

After walking a few steps, Chen Nan turned back and said, "Give me the phone."

Su Youyu froze for a moment, then took it out of the schoolbag and handed it to him.

Chen Nan entered the number and dialed a number for herself: "You kid is really worrying, call me if you have something to do. I'm really leaving, see you tomorrow."

Su Youyu took two steps and looked back at Chen Nan's back in the distance. The night made his back slender and straight, like an artistic silhouette.

When Chen Nan got home and turned on the light in the living room, she found Chen Shaozhi sitting on the sofa with red eyes and a depressed face.

"You're back." Chen Shaozhi's voice was low and tired.

"Yeah." Chen Nan answered while changing his slippers.

He stopped suddenly, with a premonition that something was coming.

"Your mother and I are going to divorce." Chen Shaozhi paused, "Think about who you want to live with."

"What about her?" Chen Nan asked.

"Let's go." Chen Shaozhi rubbed his temples and repeated, "Let's go."

Chen Nan stood in the entrance and was silent for a while, then mustered up the courage to ask: "She wants me to be with you, doesn't she?"

Chen Shaozhi met his questioning gaze.

The man had fulfilled almost no paternal responsibilities for as long as he could remember.In an instant, Chen Nan found that the vicissitudes in the eyes of this strong and handsome man actually contained a little care and compassion.

Chen Nan really wanted to cover her ears.

But it was too late, he heard it.

"Yes."

Chen Nan felt as if all the oxygen around her had been sucked out, her heart was stuffy, her mind was stuffy, and she couldn't breathe, so that when Chen Shaozhi left, only a vague image passed in her mind.

That's right, this home was originally his home alone.

Everyone should go, and the only one left is yourself.

He rummaged in his schoolbag, only to find an empty cigarette case.

When I walked to the small supermarket outside the villa area, I saw a familiar figure in a hoodie standing in a daze in front of a row of instant noodle shelves.

"What are you doing?" Chen Nan walked over and stood behind him, "Are you hungry?"

Su Youyu tilted his head and raised his neck to look at him. The cheap incandescent lamps from the supermarket shone brightly on the two young men.

"Stop eating instant noodles." Chen Nan supported his shoulders, "I'll take you to eat something else."

Chen Nan bought a pack of cigarettes, paid the money, and pushed Su Youyu to a barbecue stand not far from the supermarket.

"Boss, let me have some fried rice and a pot of sauerkraut garden root soup first." Then he poked Su Youyu, "You can choose other dishes by yourself. Tell the boss what flavor you want."

Su Youyu was choosing grilled skewers in front of the stall, while Chen Nan got up from his seat and stood at a distance before smoking.

The weather in November was already a bit chilly, so Chen Nan was wearing a school uniform shirt, shivering all over.

"Go and sit," Chen Nan said to Su Youyu who came over, "don't smoke you.

Su Youyu looked up at him, his face was covered by the halo of the street lamp, and there was a kind of gentle color: "You are in a bad mood."

Chen Nan smiled, blew out a string of smoke rings, and said half-jokingly: "Yes, my parents don't want me anymore."

Su Youyu stared at the chain of small smoke rings slowly dissipating in the air, and said flatly, "My mother doesn't want me either, and my father is still dead."

Chen Nan had a puff of cigarette stuck in his throat, and was choked for a long time. He almost coughed up tears. When he turned his head and saw the serious expression on the little squid's face, he realized that the other party was not teasing him.

"Then Su Ming?" Chen Nan asked subconsciously.

Su Youyu: "My dad is his adopted son, and he is my dad's former lover."

Chen Nan's brain was rapidly digesting this piece of information, and the two looked at each other, and the eyes of the little squid were open and clear.Chen Nan doesn't know what expression she has now, but it won't look too good anyway.

"Fried rice and soup are ready, they are on your table." The boss shouted behind them.

Su Youyu looked away first, then walked back to his seat.

Chen Nan looked at Su Youyu who was eating fried rice bite by bite in front of him, and it took him a long time to hold back a sentence: "Your family is quite complicated."

"Well," Su Youyu put down the spoon, "are you feeling better?"

Feel better?Why do I feel better when I hear this?Chen Nan was at a loss.

Seeing that he didn't respond, Su Youyu lowered his head and ate fried rice quietly.

How did this conversation start?Chen Nan went through it in his mind.

Then he opened his eyes wide and looked at the person in front of him. Is the little squid trying to comfort me?

Although the little squid looks harmless to humans and animals, it has as many spines as a hedgehog.Chen Nan's current contact with him is mostly due to a coincidence, and the other half is because he thinks it's fun to tease this kid.

I thought it was an unfamiliar little white-eyed wolf, but I didn't expect that it was a kitten that would lick other people's fur inside.

Chen Nan served him a bowl of soup: "Don't eat too much fried rice at night, it will make your stomach feel uncomfortable, just pad your stomach and drink some soup."

"Yes." Su Youyu took the bowl.

"Shouldn't your family hire a full-time aunt?" Chen Nan said, "Look at your day."

"It's full-time." Su Youyu replied.

"What?!" Chen Nan was startled, "What about her, she can make you a bowl of noodles at night, why do you come out to buy instant noodles by yourself?"

Su Youyu: "She said she has something to do at home, so she asked me for leave."

Chen Nan frowned, remembering the food brought by the little squid at noon today.This is when Su Ming leaves, do you think the little squid is easy to handle?

Su Youyu added: "Don't tell Su Ming."

Chen Nan was slightly taken aback: "You know? Why do you keep such a person?"

Su Youyu shook her head: "She took care of my dad before."

Chen Nan: "By the way, what you just told me... In short, don't tell others anymore."

Su Youyu lowered her head: "Well, I haven't told anyone else."

It's like playing a game to divide camps when I was a child. With a simple word from the little squid, Chen Nan assigned him to his own side.

Chen Nan put the meat on a plate and gave it to him: "You can't eat enough every day, and you can't do without food. Auntie's cooking is terrible. I don't know how to eat outside or in the cafeteria. How old are you?"

After thinking about it, Little Squid was originally a cold child, and with such a complicated growth environment, he could see that he didn't have many peers and friends, so it didn't suit him to let him go to a lively place to eat alone. character.

"It's not always bad." Su Youyu picked up the meat and chewed it seriously.

"Su Ming is delicious when he comes back?" Chen Nan frowned and asked.

He didn't answer, and took another two bites of meat before putting down his chopsticks and saying, "I'm full."

Chen Nan paid the bill, lifted the hat from the back of the little squid's sweater and put it on him: "It's a bit cold outside, don't catch a cold, I'll take you home."

"Aren't you cold?" Su Youyu walked behind and looked at the thin shirt on his body.

"Okay, I'm still playing basketball with my arms bare in the cold weather." Chen Nan shrank his neck and waved his hands to signal him to keep up. "Which building is your house in District C?"

The little squid stood there motionless.

"What are you thinking?" Chen Nan rubbed her hands.

"You still don't want to go back?" Chen Nan thought for a while and asked.

Su Youyu nodded with a hat on his head, the brim of the hat was too wide, covering most of his forehead, only a pair of amber eyes were shining and bright.

"Alright." Chen Nan blinked, "I'll take you somewhere."

There is a small musical fountain square in the small garden of Area A of Jinxi Garden.I don't know if these rich people are too tired or too busy, basically no one comes.

The two sat on a small bench in the garden and watched the neon lights flashing on the fountain square not far away, and the height of the water column changed in an orderly manner.

"I'll go to the side to smoke a cigarette." Chen Nan stood up after sitting for a while and said.

Su Youyu: "Just here. It's okay"

"Okay, it's not good to smoke second-hand smoke." Chen Nan smiled, walked to the side of the trash can and lit a cigarette, and then said to Su Youyu's direction: "It's very quiet here, I often come here at night to sit and look at the fountain , Enjoy the moon."

The water vapor is hazy and smoky, which makes Chen Nan's resolute lines soften a lot.

"Are you often alone too?" Su Youyu raised his voice.

"No," Chen Nan said a lot louder, "There is a basketball team at school, and I can go to the club on weekends. By the way, I learn freestyle fighting. If you are interested, I can take you to see it. But at home, basically a people."

"Yes." Su Youyu replied in a low voice.

"What?" Chen Nan just looked at him and lowered his head, the hat covered his whole face.

"You take me to see next time." Su Youyu raised his head and smiled in Chen Nan's direction.

This was the first time Chen Nan saw him smile. His beautiful eyes were bent, and they were so clean that there was no trace of impurity in them, revealing an innocent childishness.
