remain silent

Han Chenxin thought that Sun Zheyang would refuse without hesitation in the future, but he didn't expect Sun Zheyang to be silent for a moment after hearing about Han Zhong's mother's recent situation, and said, "When are you going to leave?"

Han Chenxin said, "Tomorrow morning."

Sun Zheyang said, "Wait, I'll call you later."

When he hung up the phone, Han Chenxin realized that it was also Sun Zheyang's grandma, and compared to him, the relationship between grandma and Sun Zheyang might be much deeper.

After nearly half an hour, Sun Zheyang called Han Chenxin back, saying that he would go back with them. They made an appointment, and Han Chenxin drove to pick him up at Sun Zheyang's rented house tomorrow morning.

In the evening, Han Chenxin packed her clothes and went back to her parents' house to sleep.

They don't know how many days they will stay in their hometown this time. If grandma's condition is not good, Han Zhong may stay for a longer period of time, and Han Chenxin will probably have to come back to work on the eighth day of the first lunar month.As for Sun Zheyang, since he went by Han Chenxin's car, he should come back with Han Chenxin. The two of them have been together for a long time, but going back to their hometown will inevitably socialize with many relatives. That is Han Chenxin Least good at.

And their relationship is so complicated...

Han Chenxin had been thinking about these things, and it was getting late when he fell asleep.

They got up early the next morning because it would probably take a full day's drive to get there today.

Xu Jiayi got up to make breakfast for them, patted Han Chenxin's head in a hoarse voice, and helped him count the luggage in the suitcase again.She still didn't know that Sun Zheyang was going back with them, and the father and son had a tacit understanding and neither of them told her.

After breakfast, he went downstairs and put his luggage in the trunk. After Han Chenxin opened the car door and got in, he yawned.

Han Zhong was about to open the co-pilot's door to get in, seeing this, he asked, "Did you sleep well?"

"It's okay," Han Chenxin said.

Han Zhong stretched out his hand to close the door, opened the back door and sat in, and said, "Let your brother sit in the front later, and he will drive when you are tired."

Han Zixin was still sleeping, and Xu Jiayi didn't come down to see them off.

Han Chenxin started the car and set off.

At this time, it was still dark.Moreover, the street is very deserted, and only the lonely lights of street lights can be seen.

When he drove to Sun Zheyang's downstairs, Sun Zheyang was already standing on the side of the street waiting for him.

January was the coldest time of the whole winter, Han Chenxin opened the car door and wanted to get out, but Sun Zheyang blocked the car door with his hand and said to him, "Open the trunk, there is no need to get out."

Han Chenxin pushed open the trunk, and Sun Zheyang walked over with the travel bag and threw the things in.

Han Zhong pressed the window and said to Sun Zheyang: "You take the co-pilot, and you drive with your brother."

Sun Zheyang didn't speak, he closed the trunk and walked directly to the co-pilot's seat.

Opening the car door and entering, Han Chenxin felt the chill brought by Sun Zheyang.With the air conditioner turned on in the car, Sun Zheyang took a deep breath, rubbed his palms, and said, "Let's go."

Before starting the car, Han Chenxin reached for the thermos cup next to the driver's seat and handed it to Sun Zheyang, "Drink some soy milk, it's hot."

That was Xu Jiayi pretending for them.

Sun Zheyang took it and took a sip, covered it and returned it to Han Chenxin.

Han Chenxin asked him again, "Have you had breakfast?"

Sun Zheyang didn't answer, just said: "Let's go, don't waste time." He knew that it was a long drive to that place.

Han Chenxin started the car and headed out of the city in the dark morning.

In fact, Sun Zheyang fell asleep leaning on the back of the chair before the car left the city. Han Chenxin heard him snoring slightly. Han Zhong might also be sleeping, but he kept silent and didn't speak anyway.

After exiting the city's expressway, they had to travel on the expressway for nearly five hours. The plan was to get off the expressway at noon to have lunch.

Han Chenxin drove the car silently. After driving for a long time on the highway, he tended to get sleepy. Fortunately, it was early in the morning. Although he was a little tired, as long as Han Chenxin opened the window a little, the fresh cold air would rush in, making him feel refreshed. stand up.

After driving for two hours, Han Chenxin parked the car at a rest stop by the highway.

When the car stopped, Sun Zheyang also woke up. He wiped his face with his hand, and looked at the side of the road in a daze.

Han Chenxin said, "Do you want to go to the bathroom?"

Sun Zheyang gave an "um", opened the door and got out of the car.

Han Zhong also got out of the car, stretched his body, and asked Han Chenxin, "Are you tired?"

Han Chenxin said, "It's okay."

After going to the toilet at the rest station, Han Chenxin felt that the water was cold when washing her hands, and her fingers were almost frozen.

Sun Zheyang came out a step behind him, stood beside him and washed his hands, and splashed cold water on his face after washing, and then said to Han Chenxin, "Let me drive it instead, you sleep for a while."

Han Chenxin said, "I'm fine."

After washing his hands and coming out of the bathroom, Han Chenxin saw that a small supermarket next to him had opened. He went in and bought a piece of bread and a tea egg.

Back in the parking lot, Sun Zheyang was leaning against the car door and smoking a cigarette. Han Zhong was beside him saying something to him, but he never opened his mouth, and he didn't know if he listened.

Han Chenxin handed him the bread and tea eggs, and said, "Eat something, I don't know what time we can have lunch."

Sun Zheyang didn't refuse, and took it over and said, "Thank you."

They waited until Sun Zheyang had finished eating before they set out on the road again. This time it was Sun Zheyang who drove, and Han Chenxin sat in the co-pilot.

Originally, Han Chenxin should be very tired, but he didn't fall asleep when he got in the car.

The expressway is built along the mountain and passes through countless tunnels along the way. The farther away from the city, the bluer the sky and the lower the temperature.

Sun Zheyang likes to listen to music while driving, but the car keeps going through tunnels, and the broadcast signal is intermittent, so Sun Zheyang plugs in the U disk in Han Chenxin's car and listens to the music.

As soon as the music sounded, Sun Zheyang couldn't help but said to Han Chenxin: "What are you listening to?"

Han Chenxin said, "Gundam."

"What?" Sun Zheyang was puzzled, but it wasn't that he didn't know what it was, because he said next: "I only know Saint Seiya."

Han Chenxin smiled suddenly.

Sun Zheyang turned his head and glanced at him.

The car continued to drive forward. Sun Zheyang felt that Han Chenxin's music was too loud, so he turned it down very low.

After a while, Han Zhong fell asleep again, and they could hear voices coming from the back seat.

Sun Zheyang asked Han Chenxin: "Aren't you going to sleep?"

Han Chenxin said, "I'll talk with you so that you won't get sleepy."

Sun Zheyang looked up at the stretching road outside. There were already mountains on both sides, and further away, snow could be seen on the top of the mountains.

He suddenly said: "I haven't been back for many years. When I was a child, there was no expressway when I went back. I remember one year when I took a long-distance bus and slept in the car for one night."

Han Chenxin also looked outside, and said softly, "I went back the year before last and stayed for two days before leaving." In fact, Xu Jiayi didn't want to stay longer and had to leave, but Han Chenxin didn't dare to mention it in front of Sun Zheyang.

Sun Zheyang said: "Grandma doesn't know how these years have been."

Han Chen was silent for a moment, and said, "She misses you very much."

"how do you know?"

Han Chenxin said: "Because she doesn't like me and Zixin, every time she talks about her grandson, she always talks about you."

Sun Zheyang didn't speak, he seemed to recall the past.When he was young, Sun Zheyang loved to follow Han Zhong back to his hometown. He was different from Han Chenxin. He was extroverted and liked to run around the mountains and plains with a group of children. he.

Han Zhong was divorced, and his parents didn't care about him in his hometown. The family didn't know until he brought Xu Jiayi, Han Chenxin, and Han Zixin, who was just born at that time, back.

It's useless to object, it's just that grandma loves her grandson, and doesn't like Xu Jiayi, nor Han Chenxin.

Han Chenxin was silent since he was a child, and went back to his hometown. He didn't know any of the relatives' children. He was thrown to play with the children, but no one wanted to play with him.

Behind the scenes, those relatives talked about him and his mother, and when the children heard it, they would follow him and bully him.

Han Chenxin still remembered that someone hit him with a stone, and the corners of his eyes were swollen, saying that he wanted to avenge Brother Cheng.

The child who beat him was only nine years old, and he was already 14 years old. If he didn't fight back, even his parents couldn't hold him accountable.

Later, every time he went back, Han Chenxin would silently take Han Zixin to wander around the mountains, avoiding any contact with those relatives' children.

Sun Zheyang drove wilder than Han Chenxin. They finally got off the expressway and got off the toll booth before noon.

Sun Zheyang drove the car into the gas station on the side of the road to refuel, while Han Zhong asked people for directions on the side of the road.

Although it's only been two years, these small counties have developed very fast, and roads are constantly being built, so the roads are constantly changing.

The next road is not so easy to walk, and most of them will be winding mountain roads. Although the straight-line distance is not that far, the speed of the car will be greatly restricted.

Even if you hurry up, I'm afraid it will be dark before you can reach your destination.

Although it is not far from the expressway, there is already a narrow and broken path in front of the gas station, and the road surface is uneven due to the rolling of large trucks all the year round.

The car was full of gas, and Sun Zheyang drove the car slowly forward. They planned to find a small restaurant on the side of the road to have a casual meal, but the road ahead was still quite long, and they didn't plan to eat too lightly. , at least this meal must be full.
