sweet kiss bitter summer

"what is this."

The fluorescent pink condom package was slightly reflective under the light, and Liang Ma's fingertips turned white when she was holding the edge. Although she said this, her tone didn't sound like a question.

Decades of life experience saved her from asking Liang Luoan what was in the package like asking how to use a new washing machine, and she didn't even need to look at Liang Luoan for a long time. She looked straight at Liang Luoan with a rare and gentle gaze Seeing sharp and sharp, it seems to know everything immediately.

Liang Luo'an, on the other hand, does not have such a keen observation ability, and is not good at concealing, nor is he good at lying. With a little luck, he avoids Liang's mother's sight, and stares at a small spot on the bathroom wall meaninglessly. Crack, repeated lazily: "What is this..." Mama Liang looked at Liang Luo'an for a while. In fact, Liang Luo'an's expression was obviously guilty, and she didn't look innocent. Trusted by the dull and meek child, he still couldn't bear to continue to look at Liang Luo'an almost tormentingly, he clutched the eye-catching packaging in his hands, and put his arms behind his back where Liang Luo'an couldn't see.

Liang's mother pursed her lips tightly, and there were loose folds on her forehead due to the combination of age and emotion. She exhaled a heavy breath, walked around Liang Luoan's body, closed the bathroom door, and turned back to approach Liang Luoan. A very small voice interrogated him gently: "Son, tell mom the truth, did Tan Chen fall in love at school?" "Ah."

Liang Luo'an was stunned for a moment, keeping his mouth open, as if he could say the answer easily, but he didn't.

In just a few seconds, hesitation and contradiction flashed through his mind.

Liang Luoan should nod without hesitation if he is honest by nature. Even out of kindness and morality, Liang Luoan doesn't think he has done anything bad, and he can admit it freely without concealing it. Tan Chen The best love object is the self standing here.

He fell in love with Tan Chen, did not harm anyone, and made him feel very happy, that kind of happiness was even worse than when he was very young and rushed to the top of the class, which Liang Luoan cherished very much.

Liang Luo'an admits that he is not smart, so he can't understand the strange law of forcibly dividing lovers in the theory of justice, but he knows that more people in the world are like this.

Even in Liang Luo'an's impression, the mother's appearance is always kind and gentle, but after many gentle-looking people are cut open by a knife that touches strange laws, sharp thorns will appear in their souls, and the honest and brave The hugger was bloody wounded.

In front of a loving mother, a question that didn't sound so harsh, like a sharp knife approaching slowly, made Liang Luo'an a little timid.

He couldn't be sure whether he could share the joy of love with his mother like he shared the joy of grade progress when he was a child, so after thinking about it, Liang Luo'an lowered his eyes and shook his head, and told Liang's mother embarrassingly: "I, I don't know. "

There seemed to be a wind blowing outside, and the howling sound came in through the gaps in the doors and windows. Liang Luo'an suddenly felt cold all over his body, and his shoulders shrank slightly.

Mama Liang's voice was very low, and even the sound of the wind could not cover it up, which only added to the stagnation and coldness of the atmosphere.

She asked Liang Luo'an again: "Aren't you always together? If Tan Chen is in love, you should be the first to know."

"Mom..." Liang Luo'an called pitifully, as if begging or struggling, "I, I really don't know."

"Are there any girls who get close to Tan Chen?" Liang's mother changed the way of asking a question that was easier to answer.

"No, no."

Liang Luo'an bit her lip, afraid that her mother would not believe it, and added some details: "There are girls who handed love letters to Tan Chen, but Tan Chen did not fall in love with them."

Because in so many love letters, Tan Chen only held Liang Luoan's hand; so many people who wanted to get close to Tan Chen, he only hugged and kissed Liang Luoan.

It seemed that because Liang Luoan's answers were always vague, Liang's mother couldn't get any information, so she didn't continue to ask, she put Tan Chen's pants into the washing machine, and asked Liang Luoan to go out. The condom was still hidden by her. The palm behind her disappeared after Liang Luo'an turned around and went out.

Liang Luo'an walked into the yard, still in shock, perhaps because the cold snap really came, the outdoor temperature became even lower, and his body shivered a little.

Tan Chen and Liang's father were readjusting the bricks and tiles on the scaffolding, making busy stone collision and friction sounds.

Liang Luo'an walked over, wanting to tell Tan Chen what happened just now, but judging by their work progress, I'm afraid that Liang's father would not leave for a while, so Luo'an could only stand aside and watch, half curled up as if enduring the cold With his body bent, he was silent with a heavy heart.

The scaffolding was finally repaired, and the three of them entered the house together. Father Liang and Tan Chen talked about the newly repaired scaffolding, which was just enough to block the hail that the weather forecast said tonight.

They laughed, and there seemed to be a kind of ease in the conversation when they were done.

Except for Liang Luoan who followed at the end without saying a word.

"Tan Chen, Tan Chen."

Perhaps because of the cold wind blowing for too long, Liang Luo'an's throat was a little sore, and his voice was trembling. When he was about to enter the room, he called out to Tan Chen in a low voice.

Tan Chen turned back and spread out his palms to him, indicating that his hands were too dirty, so he went to the bathroom to wash them first.

Liang Luo'an had no choice but to follow.

Liang Ma was still in the bathroom, and Tan Chen didn't come out either.

Liang Luo'an stood at the door of the bathroom, his heart beating almost overloaded for a full minute, which made him feel physically and mentally exhausted without exaggeration.

The sound of the washing machine running was very loud, and it kept humming, overshadowing the occasional low-pitched conversation, turning the quiet air and Liang Luoan's mood into a frothy mess.

He felt that if he waited another second, he might foam at the mouth and have a heart attack. When he eagerly reached out to open the bathroom door, he missed it.

The door was opened from the inside, Liang Ma stood at the door, showing no emotion, but her expressionless face itself was a very bad expression.

I don't know if it was because of the excessive noise from the washing machine, but Tan Chen behind him looked unusually silent.

"Mother.

Tan Chen..." "It's okay, mom has something to talk to Tan Chen about. "

Liang's mother interrupted Liang Luo'an with a flat tone, but Liang Luo'an was too familiar, this was the calm before the storm.

"Oh."

Liang Luoan responded in a daze, his body was stiff, as if he was nailed in place, and timidly pleaded for Tan Chen: "Mom, don't criticize Tan Chen too much, he performed really well in school and didn't make any mistakes. What is wrong."

"Mom just wants to talk to Tan Chen about something. Go watch TV and don't worry about it."

After all, Liang's mother passed by Liang Luo'an at the door, and went in the direction of Tan Chen's bedroom.

Tan Chen silently followed behind, raised his head slightly to look at Liang Luo'an, lowered his eyelashes again, and walked with the chill all over his body.

Liang Luo'an found in a daze that the coldest moment of winter seemed to be coming.

The notification sound of the washing machine beeped a few times, the loud noise stopped suddenly, and the delicate sound of ice particles in the air hitting the window glass emerged, one by one, as if hitting the surface of Liang Luoan's heart, there was a kind of dull pain close to numbness .

As had been forecast, a severe hailstorm fell during the night.
