two-way love

The woman raised her slender eyebrows, then frowned and smiled, as if she had heard a very wordless joke.

Seeing her eyes full of teasing and ridicule, Wu Yi kept silent for a while and dared not take any more actions.

"Hey..." The woman raised her hand, stared at her beautiful nails, and said casually, "I never thought I would meet you."

She looked away and glanced at Wu Yi: "Actually, I'm not surprised that you are alive, children, there are many kind-hearted people, there must be someone who sees it and will help..."

Wu Yi felt a little sore in his heart.

"On the contrary, I'm here. They think that you still have someone to take care of you, and it's not easy to pay attention to you, am I right?" The woman brushed a strand of curly hair to her shoulders with her fingertips, "Where did you go after that? "

Wu Yi lowered his eyes and replied timidly: "Qing, 'Qingchao'."

"The orphanage?!" She laughed, stretched out her slender white fingers to pick his collar, "Oh, the clothes are nice, doesn't the house of the person who adopted you look bad? It's pretty."

"You are on the way, obviously..."

Wu Yi's words were broken and there was no beginning or end, but the woman understood unexpectedly, and she sneered in disbelief: "Then who... I don't know what your name is now, and I don't care what your name is—at that time You were obedient and did what I asked, and the plan was successful, as a reward, I will bring you out, and we owe nothing to each other, right?"

Wu Yi didn't speak, and the woman didn't need him to respond, so he continued on his own: "On the way, I'm afraid they will catch up, so I have to take you with me. If I'm caught up, I'll let you Meet up with that group of people in the past, and then you need to tell them that I was running in a certain direction, misleading them to search in the wrong direction, so that the chances of me running away are higher—can you understand? You were so 'Important', how could I leave you in that situation?"

Wu Yi felt that icy water was pouring down from above, and his whole head felt cold and stinging: "Then you, why are you leaving... that day..."

Since it's important that I be obedient...why did you suddenly leave me behind?

The woman rolled her eyes speechlessly, as if she lost patience with his stupid and naive questions: "Am I going to take you back to my house? How dirty..."

Wu Yi's face paled, and she confessed without hesitation: "I don't plan to stay there for long-I'm not a single woman, they may accept me to go back, but can they accept me to bring a wild species back? And if you stay there, how cumbersome it will be when I leave!"

"Do you know what I saw that day?" The woman raised her eyes and looked into the distance, the smile on the corner of her mouth when she recalled it was still somewhat real after so many years, "I saw the news in front of a screen in the square—— On the third day after we ran out, the place was actually checked by the police, and everyone was arrested! Arrested! Hehehe, that man's face was put in the picture. That was the first time I saw it. When he saw his face, he was not scared at all, but was so happy that he almost cried!——The news said that this was a huge incident, and I no longer had to be afraid that they would find them. They would all be sentenced, and none of them could escape. Hahaha……"

"I can boldly go home without any worries," she took a deep breath and paused, "I racked my brains and tried to escape, and spent months like wild dogs—while those walking dead The bitches did nothing, got out of that hell just [-] days later than me, went to formal physical psychotherapy as 'victims', got all the mercy, society and government help you see , how funny isn't it?"

She stared at Wu Yi with indifferent eyes: "I was only 23 years old at the time, but everything about me was destroyed—I didn't even have a junior high school education, and I was forced to give birth to five children in eight years, ugly and dirty , what else can I do?"

Wu Yi's face was pale, he could vaguely understand what the woman wanted to express, but he couldn't give a response.

There was a sudden "buzz" in the small bag in the woman's hand, as if her memory had been cut off, she woke up suddenly, restrained her emotions, and laughed: "However, I am very satisfied with the present, at least what I have got now , This is what I got through my own hard work, how wonderful—hehe, do you still care about what those processes do? Judging from the ending, aren’t you better than before? I have brought you so many benefits, Isn't that clear enough?"

She took a step forward, squatted down and looked at Wu Yi, stretched out her hand to help him straighten his untidy collar, and said in a low voice, "Well, you don't have to thank me. It's the future, don't remember me anymore , I don’t know you again. Ah, do you understand?”

Wu Yi stood stiffly, smelling the faint scent of perfume on her wrist when she got close, which was neither strong nor greasy.He pursed his lips lightly: "Understood."

The woman smiled with satisfaction and stood up: "You are really obedient."

She turned around and took out her mobile phone to answer the call, and apologized coquettishly in a soft tone as she left, leaving Wu Yi standing alone in the middle of the aisle, surrounded by bright lights.

Lin An sat with one hand propping his face, looked at the glass floor-to-ceiling windows facing the aisle, and asked Wu Chenfang in a low voice: "Is it really not possible?"

"It's not going to end well in the past now," Wu Chenfang handed a French fries to Lin An's mouth, "Ah——"

Lin An opened his mouth and held it in his mouth, chewing and saying, "Who is that woman?"

"It should be a lover of Mr. Jiang who is cooperating with 'Sheng Heng' this time. I saw her at the dinner party two days ago. Zhang Lin said that this woman has no background, she is pure, but this woman is very Proper, she has been with Mr. Jiang's secret lovers for the longest time. Even Mrs. Jiang turned a blind eye to her."

Lin An looked at Wu Chenfang with an unbelievable expression, and asked hesitantly and politely: "You... how do you know so much gossip?"

"Zhang Lin said."

Lin An suddenly squinted his eyes: "The relationship between the two of you is a little close recently."

"Hu Kehao knew for some reason that she could still contact Luo Jian. She was very worried because he was trying to trip her up recently. She was afraid that one day Hu Kehao would jump over the wall and kidnap her and force her to tell Luo Jian's whereabouts. I don’t dare to ask her girlfriends to go shopping for a day, and I’m full of news and no one to share, so I can only look for me..." Wu Chenfang smiled, and put the Coke straw in Lin An's hand, "Besides, the engagement party is just It's next week, why are you still jealous?"

Lin An let out a "huh" and changed the topic: "Hey, Mr. Jiang's lover, Wu Yi seems to know her. Brother Fang, do you think this person is...?"

Although the words were only half a sentence, Wu Chenfang still understood what he meant and nodded: "Maybe. However, Wu Yi has nothing to do with her now."

Lin An was satisfied when he heard this sentence, and sat up straight in response: "That is."

Wu Yi stood for a while, and the broken memories made his mind a mess. Finally, after a long trance, he came up with a clear idea: go back to the restaurant, Uncle Lin and Uncle Wu are still there.

He hurriedly threw other thoughts aside, and began to hint to himself: Yes!go back!Didn't they let you look good at the position?You came out like this? !This is not good, go back quickly...

go back……

He lowered his eyes, raised his hand to his nose and took a breath, then turned and walked back.

Wu Yi opened the glass door and went in. He looked up and saw Lin An and Wu Chenfang were already sitting and chatting. He was startled and hurried over.

Seeing someone approaching from the corner of his eye, Lin An stopped talking and looked, and when he saw it was Wu Yi, he laughed: "Are you back?"

"Hmm..." Wu Yi was nervous, afraid that they would ask him what he was doing when he left so suddenly... He asked himself in his heart: Should I lie?

Before he could decide how to speak, Wu Chenfang pushed a box of chicken nuggets over: "Aren't you hungry? It's almost one o'clock, let's sit down and eat."

"We don't know what you like to eat, so we asked your brother Yihong and ordered everything he recommended. You just try it according to your own taste?" Lin An swarmed and pushed Wu Yi, Then he held up a square box for him to see, "Ah, the recent event, said to buy a set meal to give a ceramic cup, you see if you like it, if you like it, you can use this at home on weekdays!"

Sitting in the seat, Wu Yi faced a wide variety of crispy and tangy food in front of him. Hearing the natural and genuine concern of the two people beside him, he suddenly felt a pang of sadness in his heart. A new taste was added to the messy mood that had not disappeared. Not good.

He didn't dare to look up at them, but said "thank you" slowly and seriously.

The meal was undoubtedly heavy and boring. Wu Yi absent-mindedly ate half a hamburger, two pieces of chicken nuggets and a few French fries, and only drank two sips of orange juice, vividly explaining what it means to "taste the same taste".

There was a lot left on one table, so naturally they packed it up and took it away.

Wu Yi still couldn't bring himself to be in a good mood, even if they wandered around the high-rise building for a few times, it was useless.Lin An suggested to go shopping around the Century Center.

The afternoon sun outside was still bright, and the sound in the small square below the Century Center was loud, and various activities and performances were very lively.However, Wu Yi lacked interest, and Lin An and Wu Chenfang didn't have the extra energy to feel the happiness of other people's homes—this kind of cheerful atmosphere not only failed to infect them, but made them out of tune with the environment.

Lin An and Wu Chenfang walked side by side holding hands, Wu Yi was half a body away from them, quiet, distant and polite.

"Lin An." Wu Chenfang said suddenly, in this noisy environment, no one except Lin An could catch the content of his voice.

Lin An turned to look at him.

Wu Chenfang said: "I think the time is almost here."

Lin Anxin understood: "Then let's find a quieter place."

Bypassing the small square filled with laughter, screams, singing and shouting, the park across the road seemed relatively deserted.

There are not many children in the People's Park, and most of them are probably attracted by the activities and games in the opposite square.A few old people dipped their mop-like pens into the tap water and wrote on the ground. They were powerful and sharp, and they scribbled a passage of Tang poetry and Song poetry, which attracted passers-by to watch and praise; Sensitive music for the six or seven groups of grandpas and aunts to practice dancing; the hawker holding a handful of cartoon-shaped hydrogen balloons stands, and occasionally a couple of children will buy one when they pass by... Compared with the energetic opposite, the park The atmosphere here is more suitable for resting and talking.

There are benches in the outer ring of the grove in the center of the park. The benches are distributed in a circle, facing the small fountain in the middle. White pigeons in twos and threes turn their heads from time to time by the fountain and make a "coo" sound, as if they have no intention of flying away.

The scenery and light were good, and it was relatively quiet. Lin An asked Wu Yi to sit down. Wu Chenfang unexpectedly did not sit beside Lin An, but sat on the other side of Wu Yi——

Wu Yi came to his senses immediately and understood that now is the important point.

Lin An sorted it out almost, and before it entered his throat, he felt the shoulders of the child around him tighten, and the hands on his legs were clenched unnaturally, and even the line of his jaw collapsed because of gritting his teeth and pretending to be calm—— With such an obvious nervous look, Lin An couldn't even say what he didn't question in the tone!

He smiled and sighed, and got up: "I'll go over there to buy some small things, you sit down first."

As soon as Lin An left, the atmosphere hadn't had time to calm down for a while, and Wu Yi thought that there was someone beside him, and the strings that had been loosened just now became tense again.

On weekdays, Wu Chenfang's contact with him is far inferior to that of Lin An. If Lin An was the one who spoke, Wu Yi could at least guess the direction, but if it was Wu Chenfang who spoke, he felt even more hopeless...

Wu Chenfang can naturally see that he is nervous and afraid. If there is a gap now, the child can squeeze himself in... But, if the topic starts, someone must be the first to speak out, Lin An is reluctant to press It's gone, but he can't retreat anymore: "Wu Yi."

coming!

Wu Yi froze, motionless, and choked out a short "um".

"You don't have to be so nervous, we have been getting along for a while." Wu Chenfang's tone was gentle and his voice was kind, "Do you still think that we are the kind of parents who will lose their temper and beat and scold their children casually?"

Wu Yi shook his head slightly: "No..."

"Then why are you so nervous?" Wu Chenfang asked with a light smile.

Wu Yi lowered his head and couldn't explain the reason. After a long time, he whispered, "I'm sorry."

Wu Chenfang: "..."

Wu Chenfang: "I didn't criticize you..."

Wu Yi was quiet for a while: "Yes."

Wu Chenfang looked up at the blue sky, and thought: This end is really hard to open.

But since everyone has spoken, let's be more straightforward... Wu Chenfang said bluntly: "Wu Yi, when Dean Feng introduced you, he mentioned your situation, and Lin An and I know it very well."

He felt that the breathing of the child beside him suddenly became rapid and disordered.

"At that time, we thought you were obedient and sensible, and your background was very poor. Dean Feng also said, I hope we can take good care of you. You are a good child, and you should have a better growth environment and get more and better choices. and possibly."

Wu Chenfang seemed to be thinking about what to say next, so he paused, Wu Yi didn't hear his voice, so he had to force himself to answer the words, so as not to make the scene too cold and embarrassing, but what he said was also standard polite words: "Thank you, thank you ..."

Wu Chenfang sighed: "If you really want to thank us, don't be so alienated - it's been half a year and you still treat us as outsiders, it's too much."

Wu Yi panicked, and subconsciously wanted to refute, but he just said "I" twice, and couldn't say anything else, and Wu Chenfang didn't help him, just wasting his time like this.

After all, Wu Yi couldn't bear it, and said a complete sentence in a low voice nervously: "I, I don't know how to count as not being outside."

Wu Chenfang told him: "Just tell me what you like and dislike, laugh when you want to laugh, cry when you want to cry, don't force yourself when you feel uncomfortable - in front of us, you don't have to be a good boy in the traditional sense, you can be as comfortable as you want Come."

Wu Yi was speechless: "How can this be... Teacher Feng said, it must be..."

Wu Chenfang raised his hand and made a silent gesture to interrupt him: "Dean Feng is just your teacher in the orphanage, and you and I, Uncle Lin, are your current guardians."

"From the day you left the orphanage, we have been your family, and the people closest to you at present," Wu Chenfang put his hand on the back of his head and stroked, "We will take care of you and care for you, even if you are an adult After that, the relationship between us will still be 'father and son', and we will be relatives for the rest of our lives—you will never be abandoned again."

Wu Yi looked up at him, pursed his lips but did not make a sound.

"That woman just now is..." Wu Chenfang paused, but didn't say the name, "Right?"

Wu Yi lowered his gaze, nodded lightly, and said in a hoarse voice, "I'm sorry, I ran out suddenly at that time..."

Wu Chenfang said: "This apology is due, and you are not familiar with the terrain, what if you get lost there? Next time, you can't leave like this without saying hello, you understand?"

Wu Yi smiled self-deprecatingly: "There will be no next time..."

Hearing his words, Wu Chenfang probably guessed that the situation of this encounter was not very good, but this kind of direction is more in line with the wishes of the two new parents, he said bluntly: "That's better! In the future, you and them, the former People, it doesn't matter at all, you are you, it's time to come out."

At this moment, Lin An came back with a bag of fried rice, opened it and handed it to Wu Yi: "Hey! I just saw it. I liked this when I was young. Have you tried it? Try it."

Wu Yi nodded: "Dean Feng bought it for us before."

"Do you like it?" Lin An looked up at Wu Chenfang, "What were you talking about just now?"

Wu Chenfang smiled meaningfully: "Let Wu Yi tell you."

Wu Yi: "Huh?"

Lin An sat down: "Okay, let's talk while eating."

Holding fried rice, Wu Yi was at a loss: "I, what did I say..."

Wu Chenfang said: "Anything is fine, anyway, your Uncle Lin doesn't know if it's true."

Wu Yi: "Huh?"

Lin An smiled nonchalantly: "That's right, I don't know anyway, so you can say whatever you want."

Wu Yi: "..." He could see that these two people were trying to get him to speak.

"I, I... I..." Wu Yi closed his eyes and said hesitantly, "I... apologize for what happened at noon today..."

"Okay, I forgive you!" Lin An said cheerfully, "Is there anything else you want to say?"

Wu Yi pursed his lips for a moment, and said, "I will study hard in the future, and I won't embarrass Uncle Lin and Uncle Wu."

Wu Chenfang: "..."

Lin An: "...Oh, so serious."

"Thank you, Uncle Lin and Uncle Wu, for taking care of me," he stammered, his brain starting to lose speed, "I will repay you well in the future..."

Lin An laughed out loud, covered his nose with his hands, and said with a smile, "You've been thinking so much since you were only a few years old, and you're so old-fashioned."

Wu Yi blushed, and defended in a low voice: "I, I... have long been able to take care of others..."

——In a 12-year-old child, the most obvious traits are "obedient and sensible" and "can take care of others".

Lin An felt as if he had been stabbed sharply in his heart. He raised his hand and gently pinched Wu Yi's cheek, staring into his eyes with a serious attitude and a gentle tone: "Don't think about it so much, you are just a 'child'."

Wu Yi stared at him blankly.

Lin An let go of his fingers: "At this age, what you should learn is not 'taking care of others', but 'acting like a baby', 'rebelling', and 'quarreling with family and classmates'."

"You are the youngest now."

Wu Yi's eyes suddenly turned red.

In that "home", you have to listen to your "father", serve wine, boil hot water, take care of your younger siblings...Because he is the oldest, he must be the most obedient among the group of children-he did it, So he is also the only child who has not been caught in the car by "father" until the age of seven.

In the orphanage, he took care of other children, helped teachers clean up, and carried donations.He is the oldest of the children, and he is the "big brother" of everyone. He must set an example for all the children - he is no longer a child of a certain age, he is an "adult", he must be sensible and absolutely not It can cause trouble for teachers.

Now someone said to him - you are the youngest, you are a child, don't be so cautious all day long, you can do whatever you want, this is the nature you should show.

For a moment, he only felt hot and swollen in his heart, and the unexplainable grievance suddenly seeped out from the soil that he thought was peaceful, drowning everything in an instant.

—he didn't know how to get so many wronged feelings, and he couldn't tell where they came from.

Before his brain could work, he heard his trembling voice: "I, can I?"

"Sure," Lin An smiled, "You can talk to us about anything in the future."

Wu Yi sniffed lightly, nodded seriously with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

The breeze that still carried the last summer feeling caused the surroundings to rustle.

Wu Yi said briskly: "Thank you Uncle Lin, thank you Uncle Wu."

Lin An couldn't hear him thanking him the most, so he raised his hand and patted me on the head: "Thank you again..."

Wu Yi flinched: "Pay attention in the future."

The atmosphere is like the April weather flipped over, completely shaken off the last trace of chill.

The seller of hydrogen balloons in the park walked to the other side of the fountain and sat down.

Lin An looked at the group of balloons of different shapes and colors, and suddenly turned to Wu Yi and asked, "Do you want balloons?"

Wu Yi shook his head embarrassingly: "No, no... I... I'm already this old."

"Did you ever buy one when you were a kid?"

"……No."

Lin An grabbed his wrist and pulled him up: "Then make it up for you now!"

This move caught Wu Yi by surprise, and he hastily refused when he was dragged to the peddler: "No, really not, Uncle Lin... I am no longer suitable for playing with balloons..."

"What's the matter?" Lin An abruptly pushed him over, "The balloon doesn't say 'suitable for children under the age of seven', so hurry up and pick one you like!"

Wu Yi was about to cry, and turned to ask for help: "Uncle Wu..."

Wu Chenfang smiled and spread his hands, expressing his helplessness: "Our family, you, Uncle Lin, are in charge."

Wu Yi: "..."

The peddler pulled the balloon down a bit, and the cartoon image printed on the balloon was almost sticking to Wu Yi's face for him to pick.

It was the first time he made this kind of choice. After looking around, he finally chose the most common golden pentagram-shaped balloon.

Wu Chenfang paid, Lin An carefully wrapped the balloon thread around Wu Yi's wrist, tied a dead knot and tied a bow on it.

Lin An let go of his hand, and the balloon rushed upwards. Wu Yi was shocked, and subconsciously reached out to grab the white thread. Before he could catch it, the balloon was pulled down by the straightened white thread. Wu Yi was stunned, embarrassed Smiled a bit, relieved.

"Crack."

Wu Yi turned his head, causing Lin An to follow suit.

Not far away, a young girl with draped hair was holding a white camera. Seeing them turn around, she hastily put the camera down, but a card was slowly spit out from the camera—it was Polaroid.

The girl blushed, raised the camera, pulled out the still hot photo paper, and laughed awkwardly: "I, I... I'm not a pervert, I can explain."

Before she could speak, she took the initiative to hand over the photo paper and began to explain: "I was taking pictures of the fountain just now, and because of the position, I accidentally photographed my brother in it. I really didn't mean it! I'll deal with this for you—"

"Hmm, okay, it's nothing, actually..." Lin An took the photo paper with a dry smile. The surface of the main body on it looked like a small fountain bubbling on the side, but it was clearer when Wu Yi was photographed on the left.He gave the photo paper to Wu Yi: "No, take it, my sister gave it to you."

Wu Yi took it blankly: "Thank you..."

The girl bowed: "No thanks, no thanks, hehehe... Then I'll go first, sorry to disturb your family."

"Wait a minute!" Lin An suddenly stopped her, "Excuse me, can you please take a photo for us? Use my mobile phone."

The girl raised the Polaroid in her hand: "Can I use this? I can get it right away, although it may not be so clear..."

Lin An smiled: "That's fine, I'll trouble you."

"I've just started using this, so I'm sorry to use you as a practice!" The girl smiled shyly, "Go over there, the light is good over there!"

The 12-year-old Wu Yi is quite a bit shorter than the two adults, standing in the middle, Lin An is on the left, Wu Chenfang is on the right, and the standard family of three is standing.

The girl seemed to be very dissatisfied with the atmosphere in this standard composition: "Hmm... you guys, be more casual? It looks so stiff inside..."

Lin An and Wu Chenfang looked at each other and laughed in unison, as if they didn't know how to appear "casual".

"Brother, pull down the balloon a little, let it enter the mirror!" The girl commanded the action, "Very well, uncles, get your hands closer... Laugh! 1,2,3——"

"Crack."

The girl took out the photo paper and looked at it: "Hmm! It's pretty good!" She handed the photo paper to Lin An, "Look, uncle!"

Lin An thanked: "Thank you!"

"You're welcome! I'm leaving first! Goodbye!"

The girl ran away with the camera in her arms, Lin An looked at the photo, smiled and gave the photo paper to Wu Chenfang: "Look! Our first family portrait!"

Wu Chenfang also laughed: "Then on the way back, let's buy a photo frame and put it in."

"Come on, Wu Yi, take it," Lin An gave the photo paper to Wu Yi, and then responded to Wu Chenfang, "That's fine, where is it? On the desk?"

Wu Yi pinched the warm paper and looked at it for a while.The boy in the photo is smiling shyly, and with the other hand, he is pulling a white thread, and the balloon is just hanging over the head of the man on the left.Although it is a common three-person composition, the beam of sunlight in the lower right corner and the light and shadow of the woods behind add a bit of warmth.

so good……

he thinks.

"Hey, by the way, Brother Fang, do you think we should keep a pet? Wu Yi is not too boring at home."

"Feed what?"

"Dog, be more gentle, golden retriever? Samoyed?"

"Cough, huh, huh, when the big dogs walk around the circle, can Wu Yi move them?"

"Then...then raise younger cubs?"

Wu Yi put the photo in the palm of his hand, and the self-contained communication of the two adults around him failed to affect him.

He felt itchy in his heart, thinking that he should do something at this moment.

By the way, mobile phone.Wu Yi took out his phone, turned on the camera, selected a filter with warm and soft light, and pointed it at the photo in his hand.

"I think it's better to have a cat?"

"Well... But I think cats are not as close as dogs... Hey, in fact, as long as it's not a parrot, I have a psychological shadow about this."

"Then we might as well ask Wu Yi what he means!"

"Ah, yes! Wu Yi——"

Wu Yi looked away from the phone screen and raised his head: "Yes."

"Do you like cats or dogs? What do you think of adding another member to our family?"

"Ah? This... Is it a cat or a dog? Well, I, I actually..."

"It's okay, you say it boldly."

"I actually..."

On the brightly lit phone screen, a new picture that was successfully uploaded appeared in the empty space.

It was a photo with a filter added.

The next attributed album is "Family".
