if you are still there

Ding Xu slept very restlessly, his brows were furrowed tightly, his ears were filled with buzzing sounds, and there was also a thumping sound like drumming, which made his eardrums hurt.

The knock on the door kept ringing, the people outside hesitated for a moment, and simply opened the door and came in, "Ding Xu? My wife has been calling you for a long time, go out to eat quickly, everyone is waiting for you!"

Ding Xu babbled, and the other party realized something was wrong, walked over and pushed him hesitantly, and said, "Ding Xu?"

Ding Xu opened his eyes suddenly, his pupils flickered for a while before he could see who the person in front of him was.He looks about 40 years old, wears conservative clothes, has short hair and thick lips, and is his family's nanny.Or it was the nanny of the family he used to be a long time ago, at least it happened when he was in junior high school... How did he suddenly see her?

The nanny heard the urging voice outside, and was afraid of being punished by the hostess, she hurriedly pushed him up and asked him to wash his face in the small bathroom next to him, "The wife was looking for you just now, don't be angry, mother and son don't hold grudges." Ah, hurry up and wash your face, my wife is doing it for your own good..."

Ding Xu was pushed over, and he didn't wake up until the cold water froze. The nanny went out muttering, but Ding Xu was full of thoughts.He stared at the pale and immature face in the mirror, then looked down at his shrunken hands soaked in the water, rubbed his face with the palm of his hand, buried his whole head in the palm of his hand, shaking uncontrollably live.

He is back.

Back when I was 15 years old.

There is no smell of hospital disinfectant, no pain all over his body, and the humiliation that made him unable to lift his head for the rest of his life has not yet happened... Does this mean that there is still time for him to work hard now?

The thoughts in his head were chaotic, and before he could figure it out, he heard a slam from outside and someone pushed the door in, and an angry female voice said in a low voice: "Ding Xu, how long are you going to make a fuss about! The matter of choosing a school Your father and I are still discussing that it is for your own good to let you go to study in other places, and you have a young master's temper with us?! Now go out with me and eat first."

Ding Xu looked up at her and said hoarsely, "Mom."

Zhong Jie looked at her son with some doubts, but when she saw his head down, she thought he had been taught a lesson and didn't dare to make trouble anymore, so she showed a satisfied and complacent smile for a moment, patted the folds on the clothes, and said : "It's time to be obedient, your father is right, you will be honest after a few days of detention."

Ding Xu lowered his eyes and followed Zhong Jie out without saying a word. If he still had any affection for this family, it was only with his grandfather who was far away in the north. He had no idea about his parents for a long time. .

Zhong Jie took Ding Xu out and walked around the large living room. Ding Xu's grades are excellent, and he is also handsome and handsome. Earning some face for her is not only to satisfy her own vanity, but also to defend her position in this family.

Ding Xu was led around, the tip of his nose smelled of various perfumes, and the perfume lilies piled up in the room made him want to sneeze, the air was cloudy and unbearable.He frowned and sat there with a cold face. The elders didn't want to disturb him, but a few girls of the same age who came with him kept staring at him, and came up to chat: "Is your name Ding Xu? Listen to Aunt Zhong Did you say that you also go to No. [-] Middle School?"

They didn't know whether they were contaminated by the adult's smell, or they sprayed some on themselves, they couldn't stand it when they got close to Ding Xu, and they didn't bother to put on a show, so they stood up and made an excuse: "I still have something to do when I think about it, Go out first."

Zhong Jie looked upset and wanted to explode.

Ding Xu took two steps, then turned back and stretched out his hand to Zhong Jie, saying, "Mom, lend me some money first."

Only then did Zhong Jie soften her face. She thought that Ding Xu was giving in, and also thought that when he was in his teens, he was playing around, so she read him a few words in feigned anger, and still put a handful of hundred-yuan bills on him. In his hand, he warned: "Go early and come back early, if you come back late, your father will be angry again."

Ding Xu didn't even look at how much she gave, stuffed it in his pocket randomly and went out.

It was a bit cold outside, Ding Xu was wearing a shirt and only a thin woolen jacket, and he couldn't help tightening his collar while walking on the road.He called a car on the side of the road, reported an address according to memory, and asked the driver to drive there.

The taxi driver started the car and muttered, "Student, the place you went to is quite chaotic. I heard that there are all kinds of things around, and there is a juvenile prison right next to it..."

Ding Xu kept silent with a cold face, and the driver muttered a few words to himself, but he also felt that it was boring, so he kept silent.

When we got to the place, we got out of the car to clear up the blurry memory.

There are high gray walls, guards at the door, and a small visitor registration window near the side door. Ding Xu remembered that he followed his father to visit in his previous life, and went in directly from the main door, which was the first time he saw it. Xiao Liangwen.

This time he came alone, so he had to go to the side door to register by himself. The other party was a middle-aged police officer. When he saw that he said he was coming alone, he hesitated and asked, "Xiao Liangwen?"

Ding Xu clenched his hand in his pocket and said, "Yes."

The policeman clattered through the brochure, then glanced at Ding Xu again, "There is such a person, what is your relationship with him, and you are here to protect him?"

Ding Xu was a little embarrassed to speak, and blushed, but still said: "...he is my brother, I will pay the guarantee deposit."

The author has something to say:

Xiao Liangwen: Ding Xu?Ding Xu! !

Ding Xu: ...Go away, you are dead.
