defenseless

When Chen Nan went downstairs, he couldn't help looking up at the balcony of Lu Xiao's house. An hour ago, he was sitting there enjoying laughter and warm and delicious meals.This feeling has made him gradually familiar, to the point where he feels as if he has a certain sense of belonging, like a stray dog ​​that has finally found a comfortable nest.

Jiang Hongyu came over and patted him: "Lu Xiao and I plan to take the dumplings given by uncle back to my place first, together?"

"No." Chen Nan shook his head, "Accompany the little squid to go shopping."

"That's fine," Jiang Hongyu said with relief, "I'm just asking."

"Rolling", Chen Nan slapped her hands, "I feel upset when I see you."

Jiang Hongyu pulled Lu Xiao's wrist with one hand, touched the hat on his head with the other hand, and said to Chen Nan, "Thank you!"

Lu Xiao turned around and said, "See you at the football field at four o'clock, don't forget."

"Let's go too." Chen Nan turned to Su Youyu and said, "You just said you wanted to buy watercolor painting tools, didn't you?"

"Yeah," Su Youyu put both hands in the pockets of his coat, heaving a sigh of relief, "By the way, I want to choose a Christmas present for Su Ming."

Chen Nan couldn't help reminding again: "There are mine!"

"Hey, don't you want to send me the painting?" Chen Nan asked again.

Su Youyu shook his head: "It's not for you."

"Come on less," Chen Nan bumped into him, "What are you going to draw? Why don't you just draw me, remember to be handsome."

Su Youyu sighed: "It's really not for you."

"There should be something for sale at the back of the food street," Chen Nan said happily, "There are all kinds of miscellaneous things there."

"Well, just buy some paper and paint." Su Youyu followed Chen Nan, "Other families have it."

The painting supplies store is in a small alley behind the food street, surrounded by Internet cafes and KTVs, it seems a bit isolated from the world.When paying and leaving, the boss gave two small cards and asked them if they wanted to write a Christmas message card and stick it on the wall.

Chen Nan took the ink brush, thought for a while, and wrote two words: Thanksgiving.

When he finished writing his own joke, and turned his head to look at what the little squid wrote, the little squid was very responsive and covered his own card with one hand.

"Next time, I'll sneak a look by myself," Chen Nan smiled, "Waiting for you at the door, come out as soon as you finish writing."

Chen Nan was doing nothing with his pockets in his hands, and his eyes wandered around until he focused on a tall man who came out of the Internet cafe at the intersection.

The tall man saw him while shaking his head, and the person behind him stepped out and bumped into him.He just turned around and said something to the people behind him, and then made a gesture of wiping Chen Nan's neck.

Chen Nan smiled lightly, "Dog. What a fucking thing, it's arrogant enough."

But in the next second, he knew why the tall man was so arrogant, because four or five people walked out of the Internet cafe one after another.

Just as Chen Nan was about to turn around and tell the little squid not to come out, the little squid walked up to him and touched his arm: "Let's go."

If Tan Jie hadn’t done anything to save Tan Jie’s face last time because Tan Jie was still in C, Chen Nan couldn’t think of any reason to let him go now that he has the opportunity and manpower Live yourself.

He doesn't care, but now that the little squid has come out and been seen, there is no way to head-on.

"Listen," Chen Nan grabbed the little squid's left hand, "turn around and follow me, I say 1,2, 3, [-], just run forward, don't look back."

Before Su Youyu could be shocked by Chen Nan's movements, Chen Nan pulled him and turned around and took two steps forward: "1,2,3, [-], [-], run!"

The small alleys in the food street are winding, but Chen Nan recognizes them with ease. He took the hand of the little squid and shuttled through the alleys.

When he started running, the wind was blowing on his face, and he grabbed the crumbling hat with his other hand. With a glance, he saw that the right hand of the little squid holding the bag was pressed tightly against his hat.

He didn't have time to think about other things for the time being. He dragged people to an intersection and turned a corner. He went straight into a residential building, walked up to the third floor, and knocked on the door.

After a while, a middle-aged woman opened the door: "Chen Nan?"

"Auntie, I'm here to find Ma Weihao." Panting heavily, Chen Nan dragged the little squid into the door, "Where are the others?"

"He's in Tianhai on weekends." Ma Weihao's mother gave Chen Nan a suspicious look, "Don't you know?"

"Ah", Chen Nan breathed out with his hips crossed, "Today he said he would come back early, aunt, I need to use the toilet."

Chen Nan didn't change her shoes, and went straight inside, leaving Su Youyu and Ma Weihao fucking looking at each other.

Su Youyu's face turned red from running just now, and she called softly, "Hello, Auntie."

Ma Weihao's mother smiled: "You are Chen Nan's friend, go sit on the sofa, and I will pour you a glass of water."

When Chen Nan entered the toilet, he took out his mobile phone and called Ma Weihao.

It rang for a long time before the other party answered.

Ma Weihao: "What are you doing, I'm busy."

"I'm being blocked at your house now, grandson," Chen Nan said in a low voice, "Come back to me quickly, and find some people to wait downstairs by the way."

"Hahahaha", Ma Weihao burst out laughing, "I heard that right, you are blocked by people, and even blocked my house, you fucking have today."

"Laughing yarn", Chen Nan slowed down at this moment, "Hurry up, little squid is with me, your mother is doubting."

After hanging up the phone, Chen Nan patted his face with cold water.

What a fucking bad year, before the end of the semester, I was surrounded by people twice, fuck it!

When Chen Nan wiped his face with two paper towels, he remembered that the little squid had been thrown in the living room by himself.

When I went out, I saw Mother Ma sitting on the sofa and chatting with the little squid. Looking at her expression, she seemed to like the little squid quite a bit.

Chen Nan walked over and heard the two talking about painting, and then remembered that Ma Weihao's mother was an art teacher.

Ma Weihao came back not long after.Chen Nan was sitting on the sofa awkwardly and bored, and rushed to the door with a brisk walk: "Have they come yet?"

"Here we come," Ma Weihao pushed him away, "Mom, Chen Nan and I went out."

"Go," Mama Ma glanced at the two at the door, then turned her head and said to Su Youyu with a smile, "Come and play when you have time."

Ma Weihao stared at Chen Nan with rounded eyes, Chen Nan shrugged, took Su Youyu's hand who came over and said to Ma Mama: "Auntie, let's go." He turned around and walked downstairs.

"Okay", followed behind with ponytail, "Are you afraid of getting lost in the corridor?" "Huh?" After thinking about it, Chen Nan realized that he was still holding the hand of the little squid, and the palm was hot and hot.

Su Youyu gently broke free from his hand, and walked downstairs on his own.

Chen Nan's palm was empty, and her heart sank.

"Little cousin is very powerful." Ma Weihao patted Chen Nan on the shoulder, "Even my mother is subdued."

"The main thing is much better than you." Chen Nan shook his head, "Of course it hurts."

"Fuck me", Ma Weihao gave Chen Nan an elbow, "Can you say something to me, hurry down, the basketball team is waiting."

In the evening, when Su Ming came to pick up the little squid, Jiang Hongyu separated from Chen Nan and Lu Xiao after leaving the school.

Chen Nan was a little restless when he was playing football, and he didn't talk much when he went back. When they walked downstairs in the community, they sat by the flower bed and smoked a cigarette.

Lu Xiao: "What do you think?"

"I can't tell why," Chen Nan stared at her toes, "My heart is in a mess."

Lu Xiao smiled and said nothing.

Chen Nan turned her head and looked at him: "Why don't you keep asking?"

"Think it out for yourself first." Lu Xiao took a puff of cigarette, "If you need an opinion, you can say it yourself."

"That's right," Chen Nan shrugged, "I just feel that some thoughts are quite dreamy, as if what happened to me is particularly unreal."

"Isn't what happens to you the most real?" Lu Xiao said, "No one else can understand your own thoughts better than yourself. If you feel dreamy, maybe your subconscious hasn't accepted it yet."

"It's also possible," Chen Nan smiled, "I'm actually quite boring, especially I can't accept things that are uncertain, including my living in your house, and I have only recently settled down."

"It's boring." Lu Xiao kicked him on the toes, "If you don't talk about the matter, I can't just talk about the matter. If you talk about it, in fact, you are a person who wants to complicate many things and has less worries. , shouldn't it be more chic, just follow your heart."

"It's not that I have lost my concern." Chen Nan thought for a while, "Maybe I don't have any concerns. I may not be used to this strange thing suddenly."

"That would be easier." Lu Xiao stood up and patted his butt, "Just get used to it."

"That's right," Chen Nan smiled, "Go up."

When I was about to go to sleep after washing at night, the audio of the little squid was sent over on time.

Chen Nan picked up the phone and replied: Go to bed early, good night, see you tomorrow.

After a while, the little squid replied: Good night, see you tomorrow, and attached a picture, a doll bear with a red hat.Chen Nan zoomed in on the picture and found that it was the one she bought for him today.

I really like this hat, Chen Nan thought to herself, turned off the light and fell asleep.

However, he did not sleep soundly at night, and woke up several times repeatedly, dreaming about many things from his childhood.

Woke up at four o'clock in the morning, stared at the ceiling for a while, and then Chen Nan sent a text message to Chen Shaozhi: Are you coming back for the New Year?

After posting, he dug out the piano music sent by Little Squid at night, and fell asleep again listening to the soothing tune.

The result of not sleeping well at night was that he fell on the table in the morning and did not get up. When school was about to leave at noon, Chen Nan's cell phone vibrated.

He took out his phone a little irritably. The screen hadn't been unlocked yet, and he straightened up from the table in shock when he saw half of the prompt.

"I'm fuck!"

Lu Xiaozheng bowed his head to calculate the problem: "What's wrong?"

"My aunt is back." Chen Nan tried to calm herself down, "She said she was at the school gate."

Chen Nan's sister-in-law is named Chen Yunqi.The elders of the Chen family took the ancient poem "Walk to the poor water, sit and watch the clouds rise", and hoped that their daughter would be calm, comfortable and open-minded throughout their lives.It's a pity that Miss Chen's indifference and half-money can't touch her, she is too comfortable, and she is "open-minded" to another level, "play everything, use any means to achieve the goal."

When he was an adult, he ran around the world, more elusive than Chen Shaozhi, but he loved this nephew who might not see him several times a year very much.

"You don't have a good relationship with her?" Lu Xiao whispered, "Why do you look like a disaster is imminent."

"I came back before the Chinese New Year, and I usually just fell out of love again." Chen Nan rubbed her temples, "I don't want to go to class these days when she comes back."

"You didn't take this class, it's not bad." Lu Xiao smiled.

Chen Nan: "Hey, let's have lunch together, Jiang Hongyu won't go to the coffee shop."

"I have to go again," Lu Xiao said, "He said he wanted to wait for the store to recruit people before leaving."

When she saw Chen Yunqi at the school gate, Chen Nan still dropped her jaw in shock.

Chen Nan: "Chen Er, what are you doing?"

Chen Nan usually doesn't call Chen Yunqi Sister-in-law, but her family members call her Chen Er.

Chen Yunqi was wearing a hoodie, jeans, and canvas shoes, still not concealing his exquisite figure, even with a little makeup and powder, he was also radiant, attracting the eyes of passing students.She leaned against a black off-road vehicle: "Don't you always think that I am too rich, change your style today. Boys, get in the car, my sister will take you to eat delicious food."

"Bah", Chen Nan deeply despised her behavior of pretending to be tender, "I've been dumped by others this time, I'm not even in the mood for smug beauty."

"Oh, I haven't seen you for so long and I'm still so uncute." Chen Er sighed, "If I had known there were two other handsome guys, I wouldn't have gone out like this."

Chen Nan: "..."

Lu Xiao: "..."

Su Youyu: "..."

"Oh," Chen Nan asked after getting into the car, "tell me, what kind of fool did you do this time?"

"I'll come back to see my precious nephew." Chen Yunqi smiled, "Express my condolences."

"I'm lying to ghosts," Chen Nan snorted, "I want to condolences to you until now."

"Hey, talking to you is too boring." Chen Yunqi changed the subject, "Two handsome guys, introduce yourself?"

"This is Lu Xiao, I'm staying at his house now." Chen Nan rolled her eyes, "This is Su Youyu, you can call him Little Squid."

Lu Xiao: "Hello, Auntie."

Su Youyu: "Hello, sister."

Chen Nan: "..."

Lu Xiao: "..."

Chen Er raised his eyebrows: "Little squid really has a mouth as sweet as a human."

Chen Nan turned his head and gave Little Squid a sharp look: "What's your name, my aunt?"

Su Youyu was thoughtful: "Oh, aunt."

Chen Yunqi protested: "Damn boy, can you give me a few more seconds of fun?"

"You haven't had enough fun outside." Chen Nan clicked her tongue, "Face the reality for me when you come back."

"That's right," Chen Yunqi curled his lips, "I really came back to face the reality."
