defenseless

Ling Fei arrived home, and Chen Shaozhi rushed back from City B.However, a disagreement still caused people to quarrel on their backs.Ling Fei stayed at home for less than a day, and left angrily with her suitcase.Chen Shaozhi was so angry that he smashed a root carving artwork that he bought at a high price.

In matters such as feelings, if you talk about your love and I would like it, if one party loses his mind, the other party's infatuation and persistence will become a burden and entanglement.Chen Nan understands this truth even if she has never been in a relationship with a girl. As for Chen Shaozhi, I don't know if he doesn't understand or doesn't want to understand.The tense atmosphere between the two of them has lasted for so many years. As a bystander, Chen Nan has become numb, but the two still enjoy each other.

From the beginning to the end, Chen Nan was locked in the room and did not come out.He really wanted to rush out and tell them, or you two will leave, but in the end he didn't want to extinguish the little wobbly hope in his heart.He thought it was quite boring, but he could feel a hint of sweetness in the boringness.Sighing, he opened the notes that Lu Xiao made for him today, and started to make up for the homework he missed today.

The days were terribly monotonous.Lu Meiren is not as boring as imagined, and sometimes it is quite interesting.What's more important is that the brain is good enough, the notes are well done, the key points are clear, and it is clear at a glance.For the first time, Chen Nan scored full marks in the mathematics test, and happily gave him Oda's autographed picture album that my sister-in-law brought back from Japan during the Chinese New Year.The other party did not refuse, and accepted it frankly.

The relationship between the two has become acquainted a lot, but it also stops here.Chen Nan still only loves to hang out with the basketball team, and Lu Xiao still sits in the classroom every day, either doing questions or reading comics.

Autumn came quietly, and because of the wave of autumn tigers, its presence was completely reduced.

That night after self-study get out of class, the temperature suddenly dropped.The rain kept pattering down.

Chen Nan didn't bring an umbrella.Of course, he didn't expect anyone at home to think of sending him an umbrella.It should be said that there was no one at home.

However, walking to the school gate and looking at the parents waiting for their children to finish class with umbrellas still tingled his sensitive nerves.

The people on the basketball team are basically gym trainees. They have gone out for training. Recently, he is often alone.It was not easy to take a taxi outside the school gate, but now all kinds of private cars and parents picking up people crowded the school gate.He had no choice but to walk through the traffic crowd to the direction of the food street, the main road over there was easier to stop traffic.The clothes on his body were already soaked through, and the whole body was steaming and cold.

The body is cold, the heart is cold, and the mind is empty.Not being able to stop a car for a long time, if the unknown fire in my heart can burst out, it is estimated that it can burn ten miles around so that no grass can grow.

Chen Nan became a little irritable: Dare you come to the car, I ordered it to be taken.

Facts have proved that words cannot be said indiscriminately, and wishes cannot be made indiscriminately.

After finishing the last sentence, the next second, a car stopped beside him.

Lu Xiao's always calm face came out from the car window: "Chen Nan? Get in the car, we'll take you back. It's not easy to take a taxi."

Chen Nan looked down at Lu Xiao and shook her head.It's not because of his pretentious gestures, he's covered in water, and his family is too far away, so he really isn't as close as Lu Xiao.

"Let's go," he leaned over on the roof of the car, "My house is too far away, I'll go ahead and have a look. See you tomorrow."

Just as Lu Xiao was about to open his mouth, Lu Xiangzhi opened the car door and got out of the driver's seat.

"Why are you so stubborn, kid?" Lu Xiangzhi frowned, and took off his coat while walking towards him.

"Get in the car, you'll get sick if you do this." Lu Xiangzhi put his jacket on him, opened the door, and pushed him inside.

When Lu Xiang got out of the car and walked towards him, Chen Nan was still a little dazed, and there was no time to resist and refuse at this time.

After getting in the car, Lu Xiao handed him an absorbent tissue, "Wipe it off."

Chen Nan brushed his hair perfunctorily, and Lu Xiao handed him a thermos cup: "My dad boiled Coke and Ginger, drink a little to drive away the cold."

Chen Nan took it numbly, his tongue was a little numb from the cold, and he couldn't taste anything, only felt that the Coke was hot as it slid down his esophagus.

Lu Xiangzhi said in the driver's seat: "Take it easy, I'll cook it when I go out, don't burn your mouth."

"Uncle," Chen Nan said sincerely, "my home is really far away."

"That's just right, I'll take you on a rainy night tour around the city." Lu Xiangzhi said with a smile.

Speaking of this, Chen Nan explained his address, and then he calmed down obediently, leaning against the car window with his eyes closed, not knowing where his thoughts went.

I can't see it, but my senses are much clearer.He suddenly found that Lu Xiao talked a lot, at least more than when he was in school.Tiao repeatedly explained clearly to his father what he did, what he learned, and what he ate today.Hearing the boring and cumbersome words made his stomach ache.

Just like that, accompanied by the conversation between Lu Xiangzhi and Lu Xiao, he fell asleep for a while, and even had a dream.

In the dream, Chen Shaozhi read him a bedtime story in a soft voice. The scene was too weird, but he didn't want to wake up.

When he was almost at the door, when Lu Xiao woke him up, he was still a little unfinished.

Facts have proved time and time again that dreams are reversed.

Because it was raining, Lu Xiangzhi greeted the doorman, and the doorman saw Chen Nan in the back seat, and let them in.

When Lu Xiangzhi sent him to the door of his small bungalow, Ling Fei came back for some reason, arguing fiercely with Chen Shaozhi in the rain in the yard.

Through the car window and the iron fence, I watched them attack each other with the most ugly and harsh words with expressions of disgust, sarcasm, and anger towards each other.

This is really ugly, Chen Nan thought.

He felt that his scars since he was a child have been exposed nakedly in front of others, and the two quarrelsome people showed them in different ways. Although they are all old wounds, there is always a sense of shame and secrecy. Despair made him feel depressed and irritable.

Chen Nan pulled out a broken smile: "Uncle, I am making you laugh. I still won't go home in this situation. Please send me outside the villa area. I will stay in a hotel today."

Lu Xiangzhi looked back at him, and said after consideration: "Why don't you go to sleep at our house and send a text message to your parents."

Chen Nan forced a smile and shook his head: "It's okay, there is a hotel not far from the community."

Lu Xiao turned his head from the passenger seat and frowned: "You're all wet, and you didn't change your clothes when you went to the hotel. Go to my house."

Just as Chen Nan was about to refuse, Lu Xiangzhi took the conversation away: "Why are you so stubborn and grumpy? Is it possible that I can sell you to you in a poor mountainous area? With your body, maybe people will dislike you for your big appetite." It's not easy to raise."

He was stunned by the training, staring at the rain patterns on the car window, and then gave a soft "hmm".

Lu Xiangzhi glanced at him from the rearview mirror, and his tone was full of parental style: "Remember to send text messages to family members."

Later, he often recalled this day, feeling like a stray dog, being carefully brought home by two warm people.The encounters in life are always wonderful. Some people pass by like a horse watching flowers in your world, and some people, from the moment they meet, start to participate in your growth and life.

As soon as she arrived at Lu's house, Chen Nan was pushed into the bathroom by Lu Xiangzhi.

Lu Xiao helped Lu Xiangzhi wash the vegetables in the kitchen.

"Is this the kid Sprite for you?" Lu Xiangzhi asked.

Lu Xiao nodded: "Yes."

"Alas", Lu Xiangzhi sighed, "You talk to him at night, enlighten him. I don't want to talk too much about family affairs."

When Chen Nan took a bath in the bathroom of Lu Xiao's house, he was still in a daze. He stared at the neatly arranged toiletries in the bathroom for a long time before realizing that he was in someone else's house.

A normal, sweet home.

He came out of the shower, wearing Lu Xiao's sweatshirt.He is five centimeters taller than Lu Xiao, and his clothes and limbs are a little shorter.

"The shape is quite unique." Lu Xiao walked over, "Go to the living room, my dad cooked noodles for us."

Chen Nan wiped her head with a towel and followed behind Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiangzhi's cooking skills were pretty good, and Chen Nan was also hungry, so his face was almost buried in the bowl while eating noodles.Lu Xiangzhi couldn't help asking: "Is it really delicious? You don't need to save face like this."

With noodles in his mouth, Chen Nan couldn't speak, and stretched out his left hand to give Lu Xiangzhi a compliment.

Lu Xiangzhi smiled, gave Lu Xiao a look, then turned and entered his room.

After eating and drinking, her body warmed up, and Chen Nan's mood recovered a lot, so she ran to the kitchen to help Lu Xiao wash the dishes.

"Thank you." Chen Nan stood beside Lu Xiao and said softly.

Lu Xiao immersed himself in washing the dishes: "There is nothing to thank, we are all classmates."

"No." Chen Nan helped wash it aside, "No one's kindness can be taken for granted. In fact, I am a bit awkward sometimes, and I don't know how to speak. I am really grateful for the note-taking before and today. of."

"Reciprocity is a matter of courtesy," Lu Xiao smiled, "I only go when you come, and not everyone is worth helping with a little effort."

"I can't see that my character and charm have attracted you for a long time." Chen Nan raised his eyebrows.

"That bottle of Sprite is more attractive." Lu Xiao smiled.

"Look at this little favour, I've bought you, good luck!" Chen Nan also laughed.

Seeing that Chen Nan's mood improved a lot, Lu Xiao held back what he wanted to ask.He still wasn't used to saying this kind of thing.

Lu's house is a two-bedroom and two-living room.

In the evening, Chen Nan consciously went to Lu Xiao's room. Lu Xiao thought about it, but was afraid that Chen Nan would feel uncomfortable sleeping on the sofa.It was still tacitly agreed that the two of them had to make do with one night together.

Lying in the dry blanket, Chen Nan suddenly asked, "Why didn't I see your mother?"

Lu Xiao was silent for a while: "My mother passed away in my first year of junior high school."

Chen Nan froze for a second before saying, "I'm sorry."

Lu Xiao shook his head, realized that the other party could not see, and said, "It's okay, although I miss her a lot, it's good for her to leave."

He paused: "She died of illness."

Chen Nan opened his mouth and just said, "Go to sleep."

Lu Xiaoyu smiled: "What about you? Don't want to talk?"

"There's nothing to talk about." Chen Nan looked out of the window at a corner of the curtain that was lifted by the wind, "It's been like this since I was a child, I'm used to it."

"Are you used to staying in hotels?" Lu Xiao asked.

"Hey, you," Chen Nan said helplessly, "It's not always. I thought it was normal for them to quarrel before, but today you and my uncle saw it. I felt a little awkward. You said I would go down and persuade them not to quarrel. No, it’s not wrong to ignore them, I feel very annoyed, I wanted to stay away, but uncle..."

Lu Xiao smiled: "Old Lu is just like this, he loves to worry."

"It's quite enviable." Chen Nan said in a muffled voice.

When they woke up in the morning, Lu Xiangzhi had already left, and the two of them bought an egg pancake at the gate of the community, gnawed on it and walked to school.

Lu Xiao's home is only 15 minutes away from school. Chen Nan ridiculed him for being hypocritical, and he has to be picked up every day for such a short distance.

Lu Xiao hit back and said he was jealous.

The days at school remained the same.Lu Xiao went to class earnestly as usual, doing the questions quietly in his seat, and Chen Nan went to class as usual to be in a daze, sleeping and dreaming, without any nervousness as a sophomore in high school.

As soon as the school bell rang in the afternoon, Chen Nan rushed out of the classroom.Lu Xiao tidied up his books slowly on his seat, and within ten seconds, Chen Nan came back panting heavily.

"What are you doing?" Lu Xiao asked, "I forgot to take something."

"No," Chen Nan took a big breath, "The people from the physical training team are back tonight, and I guess I won't be back until the evening self-study."

"Huh?" Lu Xiao frowned immediately, and nodded with a smile, "Yeah."

"That," Chen Nan smiled as she leaned against the door, "Just to tell you."

In fact, Chen Nan didn't have the habit of explaining anything to anyone.When he was at the same table with Fatty Gao before, Gao Yuan would take the initiative to ask him if he was going to play and when he would be back.Chen Nan walked halfway and thought that he should tell Lu Xiao about it.

The relationship between people is actually quite subtle.Some time ago, he and Lu Xiao gradually became acquaintances, and what happened last night made Chen Nan feel that their relationship seems to be one step closer than acquaintances.

Chen Nan and Lu Xiao are friendship lines~~~
