evildoers

The Li family has been very uneasy recently.Little Hades practiced calligraphy every day, and he became irritable. The whole Li family was disturbed by him.The old butler felt that his hair was about to fall out...

Fortunately, Li Zhurong suddenly spent more time at home. Although Li Xiu still had the same habit of being a little Hades, but because of Li Zhurong, he was not too lawless.

Although Li Zhurong is not a person who is strict with himself, he is very responsible to Li Xiu.As long as conditions permit, he will try his best to bring Li Xiu by his side and discipline him himself.So Li Xiu has exactly the same personality as him.

However, it was the first time for him to stay at home like this all day long.

Although he was in the study most of the time, it was abnormal enough.

Of course, the most abnormal thing was the man named Xu Xu who suddenly appeared in the Li family.

That man was not at all suitable for the gorgeous but chilling environment of the Li family. He was very gentle, as if he had received higher education, and was gentle and refined. When he laughed, it made people unconsciously let down their vigilance.

He is also one of the reasons why Li Xiaoyan became violent.

Over the years, many people have come and gone around Li Zhurong, all of whom are extremely beautiful, but none of them can sleep in the master bedroom of the Li family.

Even Chen Ke just slept in the office of Li Zhurong's company all night.

This gentle man named Xu Xu made Li Xiaoyan instinctively feel threatened.

What made Li Xiu most angry was his father Li Zhurong's attitude - he didn't explain a word to Li Xiu from the beginning to the end.

Li Xiu is definitely a precocious child. He has a high IQ and a deep scheming mind. Li Zhurong always treats him like a little adult, and usually tells him anything that happens at home.

Only for this man named Xu Xu, not only did Li Zhurong not greet Li Xiu, but he himself always ignored Xu Xu, as if there was no such person in his family.

This completely angered Li Xiu.

Therefore, these days, he is like a little lion, angrily guarding against this intruder, and his whole person has become very irritable and aggressive.

The days passed day by day under Li Xiaoyan's high vigilance.

Apart from being ordered by Li Zhurong not to go upstairs again, Li Xiu's life has not changed much.

However, on the other side, baby Lu Jiaming's life has undergone tremendous changes.

On November 27th, there is light snow in the solar terms.

The temperature dropped completely.

It was frost outside, Xia Chen didn't let the baby go out in the morning, for fear that he would slip and fall outside.

When Lu Zhixu woke up, it was already nine o'clock in the morning. Professor Lu was wearing a fluffy white sweater with the cuffs covering the back of his hands. He floated into the living room like a wandering spirit. The baby was sitting on the carpet and playing with the kitten. The situation is normal.

Xia Chen wore an apron to make breakfast in the kitchen. On days when there were no classes, the Lu family had formed the habit of having breakfast around nine o'clock. Lu Zhixu didn't like sweets very much, he liked something salty, such as pumpkin Biscuits, such as seaweed rice balls, such as porridge with shrimps and kelp sprouts...

Xia Chen made porridge with preserved egg and lean meat this morning. Professor Lu's temper has improved a lot these days, at least Xia Chen can put ginger slices in the porridge.

On such a cold morning, being able to lazily sit in a warm house and drink a bowl of hot porridge with your family is already a great happiness, not to mention that the porridge made by Xia Chen can still satisfy people so much The kind that got out of bed early.

But today Lu Zhixu's mood is not very good.

After breakfast, Professor Lu occupied the sofa in the living room and tossed and turned on it for nearly half an hour. Finally, he lay down on the sofa and asked Baby Lu Jiaming who was playing with cats: "Jiaming, do you remember what day it is today? "

The baby opened his cat's eyes wide and looked at him innocently.

Lu Zhixu flinched helplessly, and continued to toss and turn on the sofa.

In the end, classmate Xia Chen took the cashmere blanket and covered Lu Zhixu's body, stretched out his hand to rub Lu Zhixu's messy hair, and before Lu Zhixu frowned, he said with a smile: "Teacher, don't fall asleep, you'll catch a cold. "

Lu Zhixu rolled up the blanket and continued to toss and turn on the sofa.

Xia Chen sat down on the sofa and tucked in the blanket for Lu Zhixu.

Lu Zhixu didn't say anything, and he didn't ask, he just stroked someone's tense back, like comforting a cat with fur.

Lu Zhixu's hair was the same as that of a baby's, black as a crow's feathers, with fine ends and a slender neck, making him look very fragile.

Sitting until noon, Xia Chen got up and was about to cook, but Lu Zhixu grabbed his wrist.

"Sit for a while," Professor Lu begged, "I'm not hungry yet..."

"But the baby has to eat lunch." Xia Chen straightened Lu Zhixu's hair, he didn't want to know what the secret was that made Lu Zhixu toss and turn.You will always know what you should know, and you don’t need to deliberately inquire about what you shouldn’t know.

For others, the secret being revealed may just satisfy a moment of curiosity, but for the person involved, it seems to be stripped naked and standing in the sun.

Xia Chen rarely asks for other people's secrets.

Do not listen to evil, this is the truth he has understood since he was four years old.

But this time, it was Lu Zhixu himself who leaked it.

During lunch, Lu Zhixu didn't eat anything at all, the rice in the bowl was barely touched, the baby just finished eating the soup, he left the table, went into his room, half an hour later, he took out a fendi bag Come on, announce to Xia Chen: "I'm going out for two days, and I'll be back the day after tomorrow."

Xia Chen stood up in surprise.

"Where is the teacher going?"

"Go back to my hometown, and maybe meet Xu Xu by the way. You are at home with the baby, remember to close the door at night, I will be back soon."

The baby dropped the bowl, jumped off the chair, ran to the living room, grabbed Lu Zhixu's trouser leg: "Dad, I'm going too."

Lu Zhixu squatted down and stroked the baby's head.

"Good boy, it's inconvenient for Dad to take Jia Ming with him. This year, Dad can go back alone. Jia Ming wants to listen to his brother, and Dad will be back soon."

"Jiaming is very good..."

Lu Zhixu glanced at Xia Chen, motioning for him to take the baby back.

Xia Chen held the baby and sent Lu Zhixu out. He put the baby in the house, changed his shoes, and sent it to the garage. Lu Zhixu went to drive. He waited at the door with his bag, waiting for Lu Zhixu to drive the car. The Skoda came out, he handed the bag in through the window, grabbed Lu Zhixu's chin, and kissed Professor Lu on the cheek.

"Be careful on the road."

Professor Lu gave a "hmm" and turned his face to look in the rearview mirror, revealing his red ears.

Professor Lu's hometown is N City, a county-level city with beautiful scenery and camphor trees all over the city. Lu Zhixu comes back once a year. He is quite familiar with the road conditions. I went to college.

In winter, the trees on the side of the road are still lush and green, with withered yellow leaves all over the ground, and the university has a good view. Enter from the south gate, pass through the south campus, and you will arrive at the family resettlement community where the Lu family and the Xu family lived together.

Lu Zhixu and Xu Xu spent their entire childhood, adolescence, and part of their youth here.

Lu Zhixu's sister also married from this community.

The Lu family and the Xu family live in the same building, which was the newest red building in the entire community back then, and now it has become dilapidated as the occupants retire.

There are children playing downstairs. I heard that the community has moved in a new group of teachers this year, and they are probably their children.

Lu Zhixu stopped the car downstairs, got out of the car, and locked the door.There is no parking lot in the old-fashioned community, and the teacher's car is parked on the side of the road.

The children didn't know this handsome man in a suit, so they all stopped and looked at him curiously.

Lu Zhixu suddenly remembered that when he was young, he used to fight downstairs like this. He is the spoiled youngest son of the Lu family, and he is also beautiful. Children from other families let him go, and Xu Xu often took care of him. At that time, the tree downstairs didn't seem so short, the branches were so short that they almost touched the top of his head, and the corridor didn't seem so dark, so dark that he didn't seem to be walking upstairs, but fell into the swamp of memories inside.

He was actually terrified of coming back.

Some memories are not terrible or cruel, but you don't want to think about them.Because in that memory are your relatives who are connected by blood, and your parents. You watched them die and turned into cold tombstones. Late at night, chatting with you, telling you to eat more, wear more clothes, go home early, and stop playing crazy outside.

Parents are gone, where is home?

Every old man, every parent, will die eventually.

This is a heart-wrenching pain that every child will experience.

Those hands that held you through your entire childhood, that warm back that you can lie down on and fall asleep at ease, the person who makes you call your father nervously after every exam, cooks delicious soup for you, and cooks what you like The people who are called mothers, the people you wish you could have lived with all your life, are gone.

This is a blank that cannot be filled by lovers, children, or friends.

Lu Zhixu is 27 years old this year. It has been almost five years since his father passed away, and four years since his mother passed away.

For four years, he dared not come back to this building alone.

He is the youngest child, and it hurts to be held in the palm of his hand. One day he came back from college and found that his father was gone. One day he went to the kitchen to make milk powder for the baby, and heard a muffled sound in the bedroom, and his mother fell to the ground with a pale face.

He fell from heaven to hell in less than a year.

He lived with the baby for four years, made money, bought a house, ate, and slept.

Then I met Xia Chen.

Then in a certain year, a certain month, a certain afternoon, he came back, alone.

He fell into the nightmare that had accumulated for many years, and struggled out bit by bit.He convinced himself that it was all right, that the dead were dead and the living had their own lives.

But he still didn't dare to go into that house. His courage was only enough to support him to turn on the light. The room was bright. The dining table where the whole family sat and ate, the sofa where they watched TV, and the balcony where they sat in the cold were all bright. It's still there, the lampshade woven by my mother, the rattan chair my father likes to sit on, and the plastic flowers that my sister bought on the day of her wedding are all there.

He fell to the ground in the entrance, not daring to take another step.

He is just Lu Zhixu, a mortal, even if he speaks arrogantly and acts monstrously, even if he is domineering and heartless, he is just a human being.He also suffers from pain and cries. He still remembers the first time he brought the baby back here. He didn't even dare to go up the stairs. He stood downstairs holding the baby. Hei, but he told himself not to fall down, the baby was still in his arms.

He is like a masochist. Every year he brings the baby back, and he dares not enter the door every year. He doesn't know why he has to come back. Maybe he is just afraid that if one day, the baby asks him: "Where is my mother?" How should he answer.

I don't know how long he sat on the ground, it was completely dark outside the window, his whole body was shaking, but he still couldn't stand up.

The phone rang suddenly, like a stone thrown into the water, breaking the stagnant atmosphere.

He picked up the phone stiffly and said "Hello" in a hoarse voice.

There was a young and clear voice on the phone. He said, "Teacher, my baby and I are in city N. The baby must go to the teacher. The teacher is at his original home now, right?"
