After two days of exam time passed, Gu Sheng was able to rest for a while, and he also hid some expectations for the upcoming holiday.

When Gu Sheng sent Yu Chen to the bus station, he asked again: "Anyway, there is no one at your house, so forget about staying at my house today."

Yu Chen shook his head and still didn't agree. Seeing this, Gu Sheng didn't force him to stay. He stretched out his hand and brushed Yu Chen's hair. After it got messy, he tidied it up for him. He waited for the bus to come and watched him get on the bus before stopping the bus. Taxi home.

After getting in the car, Yu Chen put the suitcase aside, took out a folded piece of paper from the pocket of his clothes, flipped through the paper, and saw that tomorrow's itinerary was fully arranged, even the place to eat was checked by Yu Chen Long time information.

There was an obvious smile hidden in his usually indifferent brown eyes, Yu Chen folded the papers neatly and put them in his pocket, closed his eyes and took a nap.

Yu Chen returned home after several hours of driving. He took out the key from his pocket and was about to insert it into the hole. The red door with the word "Fu" on it was suddenly opened, revealing a haggard woman's face.

Yu Suye watched as Yu Chen loosened his grip on the doorknob.

"Little Chen."

Yu Chen took a deep breath and let it out before raising his eyes to look at her. He was expressionless, and he didn't even frown at her.

"Why are you here?" Yu Chen asked her without any emotion as much as possible.

"I—" Yu Suye hesitated to speak, and finally just said: "I'll come and see you."

Yu Chen didn't want to look at her, he lowered his head slightly, his eyes fell on the floor behind Yu Suye, and suddenly remembered that the tiles on the floor were pasted one by one by his father and himself.

Yu Suye was watching the two of them from the side. At that time, Yu Chen was only seven or eight years old. He wanted to take his mother to work on the tiles together, but his father smiled and said that this is what a man should do.

Dad also said: "Xiao Chen must protect Mommy just like Dad."

Yu Chen's gaze fell on the white wall again. There were still holes on the nails where the family portrait was hung before. Yu Chen withdrew his gaze and looked at the woman in front of him again. Push aside.

He was clutching the suitcase so tightly that his knuckles began to turn white, his face showed no emotion, and he carried his suitcase into the door.

There is a tempting fragrance floating in the room, and it seems to be the same as before.

Yu Chen walked into his bedroom dully, with the veins throbbing on his forehead, he was so irritable that he directly threw the suitcase aside.

Yu Suye knocked on the door again.

"Xiao Chen, at least you have to... eat lunch."

Yu Chen didn't speak, but suddenly thought of something, stepped forward a few steps, locked the door, and lay down on the bed again, feeling bored.

The lighting in Yu Chen's room is actually the best, it's bright even without turning on the lights.It's just that the last two days have been cloudy and rainy, and the weather is gloomy. In addition, Yu Chen always closes the curtains in the room, which makes it difficult to see clearly in the dim light in the bedroom.

Yu Suye yelled again, but Yu Chen ignored it.

Within a few minutes, the light on Yu Chen's cell phone flickered, adding a faint glow to the dimly lit room.

Yu Chen turned on his phone and saw that it was a message from Gu Sheng.

-are you home yet?

The coolness that had swept over Yu Chen from the first time he saw Yu Suye warmed up a bit, and he quickly pressed his fingers on the screen.

- go home.

Gu Sheng's message came back very quickly, it can be called a second reply.

-remember to eat.

Yu Chen has a habit of not eating much on the day of the car ride, so he manages to eat a little at noon, and after two or three hours he is still hungry.

- why don't you call me back?

Gu Sheng sent another message.

Yu Chen typing: OK.

Yu Chen put the phone in his pocket, opened the door again and went out. He remembered that there were still some vermicelli in the locker in the kitchen, and it would not be difficult for him to make a simple noodles with scallion oil.

Yu Suye was sitting on the sofa worried, when she saw Yu Chen coming out of the room, she quickly got up, she just called Yu Chen's name but the person ignored it as if she didn't hear it.

Her already unattractive face turned pale in an instant.

Yu Chen went into the kitchen to boil water, and when the water boiled, he served noodles.Yu Chen took out another pot in an orderly manner, and when the pot was hot, he began to pour oil and stir-fry shallots to make the sauce.

Yu Suye was shocked by his skillful movements at the door. It seemed that the child who would be splashed with hot oil and cry so much that his nose turned red had long since ceased to exist.

Yu Chen seems to hate cooking.

Yu Chen was holding a bowl of noodles and wanted to walk into the bedroom without saying a word. The steaming bowl of noodles in his hand seemed to be in stark contrast to the cold dishes on the table.

"Little Chen." Yu Suye suddenly called out to him with a loud voice.

"Help me." Yu Suye broke down and burst into tears as if she couldn't hold it anymore, her hands with beautifully painted nails grabbed Yu Chen and didn't let him go, like a drowning person flailing in the river. Live at the last straw.

Yu Chen looked straight ahead without looking back, but Yu Chen couldn't push down the hand that Yu Suye was pressing on his arm.

Still can't bear it?Yu Chen looked at Yu Suye's hand in a daze.

As always, they are fair and delicate, and they look like beautiful hands.

"Yu Chen, Chen Daxing used my ID card to get a loan, and he lost everything."

Yu Chen's throat started to hurt a little, and his throat started to hurt even when he swallowed.

"He has become addicted to gambling, and when others come to ask for debts, it's not enough to pay all the money." Yu Suye began to cry in a muffled voice, and his eyes began to swell from crying.

She is really having a hard time these days. All the things in the house have been taken to pay off the debt. She refuses to admit it and even wants to go to court, but Yu Suye is afraid that those people will still chase her.In addition, Chen Daxing swore to her that only this time, as long as she can pay back the money, she will live a good life.

Yu Chen just listened and didn't say a word. He felt that the servant used a fishing line and an iron hook to hook his internal organs and kept pulling them out along the throat, which made him extremely painful.

"Xiao Chen, I remember that your father left you a sum of money when he died." Yu Suye stopped crying after crying for a long time, but she managed to stabilize her precarious body and quickly grabbed Yu Chen and started to ask.

"I didn't take any money at that time." Yu Suye shook Yu Chen's body, "You just help mom." She began to cry again.

Yu Chen seemed to be unable to turn his head when she kept shaking his head, and his breathing began to be a little disordered, and he couldn't catch his breath all of a sudden, like an empty bottle filled with air but he couldn't take a breath come up.

He knocked off Yu Suye's hand, leaned on the wall and leaned down, panting slightly, and from the corner of his breath, he inadvertently glanced at a few dishes on the dining table, and suddenly realized that they were all his favorite food when he was a child, not now .

So is this the real purpose of her cooking this dish?

After realizing this, Yu Chen started to feel cold all over, as if his whole body was in an ice cellar, with white ice scum forming on his body.

"How much?" Yu Chen heard his own voice, as if typing out of control.

"There's 35 left." Yu Suye wiped the tears from her eyes with a tissue.

After hearing this, Yu Chen went to the kitchen to wash his face with cold water to wake himself up. He always felt that his head was chaotic, as if he had sunstroke in the summer for a long time.

The icy water continuously overflowed from the water pipe and flowed over Yu Chen's palms and cheeks, cooling the already chilly palms even more.

After washing, he wiped his face with a paper towel, looked at Yu Suye again with cold eyes on his face, "If I give you money, will you break up with him?"

When this question came out, Yu Suye was also stunned.

Yu Chen calmly answered for her: "You can't."

"So why should I pay this money and make myself unhappy?"

Yu Chen touched his phone, it was still in his pocket, he looked at Yu Suye again, and said, "Go or stay, it's up to you." After speaking, Yu Chen walked towards the door with the phone in his hand.

In fact, he was not far away. He just went to the nearby supermarket downstairs to buy a cup of cold coffee, a pack of cigarettes and a lighter, and walked around the nearby park for a while before sitting on the bench in a daze.

Every word Yu Suye said just now was like a heavy weight falling on him.

Why.

Yu Chen found a cigarette from the white bag, which he bought casually. He tore open the wrapping paper and took out a cigarette, only to find out how thin and long the cigarette was. After careful inspection, Yu Chen realized that it was a lady. cigarette.

Make do with it.

He lit the cigarette, and thin strands of tobacco began to emerge from it, with sporadic flames glowing at the end.

Yu Chen took a sip lightly, and couldn't hold back his cough. He suddenly remembered that not long after he transferred to another school, once Gu Sheng came back from smoking, he was coughing too. He suddenly realized that since then, Gu Sheng seemed to never Haven't smoked.

Thinking of this, Yu Chen's heart warmed up a little.

He rested his head on the back of the chair, looked at the dark sky, took a puff of cigarette and coughed again.

This time he smoked so hard that he was choking, and it seemed that there was a feather in his throat that was constantly scratching. Yu Chen coughed several times, as if he wanted to cough up his lungs.

Fortunately, the position Yu Chen chose was empty.

After coughing, Yu Chen wiped his cheek on his arm, extinguished the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can beside him, watching the sky gradually darken.

It was completely dark before Yu Chen walked back from the park.

He kept playing that sentence on loop in his head as he walked.

"Xiao Chen, you have to protect your mother well."

Why?

The park is not far from Yu Chen's community, only 10 minutes away. When he came home, the light in the living room was still on, the food on the table had been cleaned up, and he didn't know which trash can to throw it in.

Yu Chen originally wanted to go back to his bedroom directly, but he pushed open the door of the master bedroom with a little hope. When the light was turned on, he found that the bed inside was neat and clean, without any trace of anyone sleeping on it.

Yu Chen turned off the light in the master bedroom, closed the door and walked towards his room expressionlessly.

At this moment, the metal sound of keys twisting came from the door, and the door was pushed open. Yu Suye came in with a few lunch boxes in her hand, and she said in a hoarse voice, "You didn't eat just now."

Yu Suye stuffed the rice into Yu Chen's hands, her eyes were also red, and she said cautiously, "You eat, and I'll leave after eating."

The lunch box in Yu Chen's hand was hot, he should have thrown the lunch box aside and entered his room without saying a word, but he didn't.

Yu Suye saw Yu Chen walking towards the dining table carrying the lunch box.He breathed a sigh of relief for no reason.

Yu Chen took a mouthful of shredded fish-flavored pork with chopsticks and put it into his mouth. It was tasteless, and he seemed to be very tired after eating a few mouthfuls, his head drooping.

After a while, he went to the bedroom, took out a card, and placed it in front of Yu Suye.

"This was originally left to you by Dad, the password is your birthday."

After Yu Chen finished speaking, he picked up the rice with a stiff face.

"Little Chen, I—"

Yu Chen didn't want to listen to her anymore, so he interrupted her directly, "You'd better take this money now, before I regret it."

"If you don't want to, don't speak again." Yu Chen stared at Yu Suye after finishing speaking.

Yu Chen looked at Yu Suye, and remembered that he had always wanted to ask her, why did she do that, why did she do this to her father, why did she do this to him?

It's okay, and it doesn't matter now.

"Mom." Yu Chen hasn't called her like that for a long time.

When Yu Suye suddenly yelled, he felt as if he had passed away.

"Leave and never come back."

The author has something to say: Yu Suye exists.
