It was noon when Ruan Youtian came back from school, the weather was stuffy, it was estimated that it was going to rain, the coastal wind could not blow into the urban area, the reflective glass walls and noisy people | The steamer is suffocating.

He was still wearing black short sleeves, which absorbed too much heat, and there were many beads of sweat on his neck.After finally entering the house and getting rid of the damp air in the corridor, Ruan Youtian took a breath as if reborn.

Ruan Youtian changed into her slippers, and arranged the changed shoes meticulously before preparing to wash her hands and cook.

He didn't go to the cafeteria. Even if the roof of the cafeteria is filled with air conditioners in summer, it won't work. The students eating in the cafeteria are like a food shortage. No matter how hot it is, they will squeeze forward.

Ruan Youtian rummaged through the refrigerator and found that there were not many usable vegetables left, so he simply took out all the vegetables, carefully picked off the wilted leaves, washed them several times before giving up, and prepared to make vegetable fried noodles.There are still two eggs left in the refrigerator, and he plans to make egg drop soup at night.

Ruan Youtian is now a junior, and the final exam of the summer semester will be in a few days. Other students have already bought their tickets to go home, and they are all waiting for the exam to pick up their luggage and leave, but Ruan Youtian can't, he has no home to go back to.

Thinking of this, Ruan Youtian made a mistake and almost splashed boiling water.

The amount of fried noodles is not large, which is enough for a boy to eat alone. Ruan Youtian always cooks like this, cook as much as you eat, and eat as much as you cook. Occasionally, if you really have no appetite, you will resist eating.

The dark clouds floated over and hung over the sky, making the room darker all of a sudden.

Ruan Youtian remembered from childhood that he should stay away from sockets and electrical appliances on rainy days, so he didn't turn on the lights, and finished his lunch with the few lights.

Ruan Youtian eats fast, and people of the same age may chase variety shows and play games while eating, but for Ruan Youtian, there is a time limit for eating.Even if everyone's lunch break is a fair one and a half hours, in his growing environment, these are not allowed.

——His life is marked with a scale with a clearly marked price, and he must live it exactly, and he will be punished if he exceeds a centimeter.He can't have the option of rejection, and he never thought about rejection. Compared with growing up bound and nailed in a frame, he is even more unwilling to talk to his family members who should be close.

The sky outside was getting darker and darker, with a dark sense of urgency, and the rumbling thunder was heavy and muffled, as if holding a breath, it was not pleasant.

Ruan Youtian hurriedly tidied up the kitchen with the light, then sat on the sofa, opened WeChat, and a series of messages popped in. It was everyone in the class group swiping the screen.

【2017 English Translator Class A】

[Outstanding and outstanding]: [Tomorrow noon class end-of-term team building, where do you want to eat? 】

[Suit]: [Eat hot pot?But if all our classes go, we have to find a big shop. 】

[Request at the end of the term]: [Jiewei Yueyue is online hahahahaha I will take a shower when I come back, what are you afraid of, there are no classes anyway. 】

[Playing with fire]: [There is nothing to eat, either barbecue or hot pot, you decide, I can do either. 】

Ruan Youtian flipped through the speeches of his classmates, deleted and typed in the dialog box, but still didn't speak.

After hesitating, the class group talked about the final exam somehow, and the topic was very jumpy.

[Request at the end of the term]: [I've been reposting the koi for a week, and I don't want to be at the bottom of the professional score anymore. 】

[Student A]: [It's amazing]

[Student B]: [It's been hidden for three years, and I didn't know it. 】

[read. ] The speech of the classmate stirred up a thousand waves, and the topic in the group changed again.The class group is also very active because of the off-track topic. Usually, there are only a few fixed people in the water group chat. Others occasionally make a fuss, but Ruan Youtian never said any "+1" or "received" Outside chat.

The classmates have long adapted to his style, and they also discussed in private whether Ruan Youtian is a bit socially afraid and doesn't like to socialize with others, otherwise he would not be able to retire from the school dormitory and rent a house to live in.

However, although they have been in the same class for three years in college, everyone's relationship is not very deep. Except for my roommates, most of them are strangers who are the most familiar to each other, and Ruan Youtian retired from the dormitory after the military training, and talked with her classmates. There is even more division between them.

Conversely, the students naturally didn't have the need or the curiosity to explore what was going on. Such a distant and polite interpersonal distance suited Ruan Youtian's wishes.

The muffled thunder outside the window turned into thunder, and the sky exploded with a "boom", raindrops crackled on the glass, and the splashed water was wetted by the second layer of rain before it could flow down, forming a dense rain curtain , covered the window, and confused Ruan Youtian's thoughts.

Ten years ago, Ruan Youtian's fifth grade summer vacation was also a thunderstorm day.

Ruan Youtian's parents are not at home, and they don't have to go to work on rest days, they go to meet their little lover privately, so they leave him a child at home.Ruan Youtian drank a bowl of porridge in the morning, because he didn't know how to cook, so he mixed the cold porridge left in the morning with some warm water at noon, and finished it with Lao Ganma.

Ruan Youtian grew up later than her peers since she was a child, and only started to grow up in the third year of junior high school.And at this time, Ruan Youtian was still like a thin bean sprout, as if it could be broken with a single snap.He consciously cleaned up the dishes, and sat in front of his small desk to do homework again. The teacher left a lot of homework for the summer vacation, and the answers in the summer homework book were also torn off. Ruan Youtian wrote the exercises with no content over and over again. When he looked up again, he realized that the room was already dark.

The pitch-black sky was covered with an impenetrable rain curtain, very much like that night when my parents came back and bumped into each other.

Ruan Youtian didn't eat dinner, his stomach was rumbling with hunger, and he felt a little listless. He thought that when his parents came back, he would be able to eat a hot meal, but he didn't expect to be greeted by overwhelming quarrels and bluff accusations--

Si Meimei wore bright lipstick, raised her hand to tie her rainy hair behind her head, raised her eyebrows, and asked, "Why did you go? Don't cook for the child when it's raining, let him go out and buy food." I can’t even buy it, do you have such a father?”

Ruan Yingtong took off his watch, threw it on the sofa, and asked, "Why do you become a father? That's what I do! Can you control me? Why don't you tell me why you came back now? It's broad daylight Not at home, where did you go wild?"

The two of them couldn't talk well if they had something to say, and Si Meimei scolded sharply, "Ruan Yingtong, are you human? Go out to rest? I have been married to you for more than ten years? Have I enjoyed a day? I can’t be idle like that, right? You can still go outside on rainy days, what is hooking you outside? "

Ruan Yingtong was so angry that he couldn't face it, and he was really wronged, so he scolded loudly: "Si Meimei, you kick your nose and face, right? I work five days a week and get off work at seven or eight every day. You tell me it's hard work." ? Cleaning the house at home and cooking for the children is my hard work? I am a man who makes you scold you like this all day long, am I addicted? I have endured you for several years, so don’t be too shameless!”

The two quarreled furiously, as if they wanted to vent the grievances that had been suppressed in their hearts for many years through the rumbling outside.But both Ruan Yingtong and Si Meimei knew that they were just making use of the excuse to find a decent-sounding and appropriate excuse for their cheating and their debts to their children.

Ruan Youtian became a tool for the two parents to comfort themselves, and also became a target for slandering each other.

At that time, 11-year-old Ruan Youtian was forgotten by his parents in the corner of the living room, helplessly and habitually waiting to clean up the broken and messy house.At the end of that night, he couldn't eat even a bowl of hot noodles. He was hungry and found a box of biscuits that had expired for three days. He secretly wiped his tears and fell asleep under the quilt.

The next day was Sunday, after Ruan Youtian washed up, he made up the bed and waited for the surprise inspection by his parents.

"Ruan Youtian has had breakfast, stop dawdling, what are you doing in the house?" Si Meimei shouted in the living room.

Ruan Youtian knew in his heart that every time his parents quarreled, they would not eat at the same table. As expected, Ruan Youtian didn't see Ruan Yingtong when he left the room.

Si Meimei asked: "How did you do your summer homework?"

Ruan Youtian replied, "It's almost done."

Si Meimei said: "That's good. If you finish writing early, you can relax earlier. You can't pile up your homework. Anyway, it's hot and rainy, and there's nothing to do outside. The kids downstairs are too noisy , you are older than them, and you can’t hang out together. Where’s that good friend in your class? Where did his family move?”

Ruan Youtian said: "I don't know, we don't play together much anymore."

Si Meimei nodded and said: "It's fine if we don't play together, he is so tall and strong, if you two quarrel and you can't keep together, you will be bullied, and his family's conditions are not very good, so you should have as little contact as you can. When school starts again, it will be the sixth grade. When you are promoted to junior high school, your circle of friends will change. It would be better if you take the entrance exam. Mom is not worried about your current grades, but you can’t slack off. The college entrance examination is a single-plank bridge, and the high school entrance examination is a horse You can't be sloppy in this junior high school, there is no new curriculum in the sixth grade, right? There is more time for review, and if you work harder, others will surpass you."

Ruan Youtian ate breakfast as if doing a task, and promised obediently: "Mom, I've finished eating, and I'm going back to my room to do my homework."

Si Meimei didn't feel that her words were off-putting at all, she still muttered: "Just study if you know what to do, don't be like your father, you don't have any self-control."
