imaginary rival

The meal was tasteless, and Jiang Shiyu felt that he was not full when he got back to the car.

The man's surname was Li, but he didn't remember his full name. After a meal, Jiang Shiyu seemed to be a transparent person. It wasn't that he didn't want to chat with Uncle Li, but that he couldn't do it at all.

Uncle Li asked him about his studies, and he answered honestly. Uncle Li began to criticize the current educational environment and teachers' sexual assault and other social news.

After finally finishing eating, he had to leave early, but his mother didn't say anything, and drove Jiang Shiyu home in the car.

This man gives people a very unreliable feeling.

Jiang Shiyu felt that his mother's vision would not be so bad that he would even like this kind of person, but...he couldn't tell.

When he got home, his mother just asked him to do his homework without saying anything. Jiang Shiyu hesitated for a while, then nodded and went back to his room.

In the small group, Yan An was explaining to Xie Lanlan about taking Xiao Binghai to get the last vaccine shot tomorrow. Jiang Shiyu had read all the message records, and when he was typing in the dialog box, the screen suddenly changed to the caller ID interface. After reacting, he directly clicked on the connection.

The number is not stored, so I don't know whose call it is.

"Hello?" Jiang Shiyu put the phone to his ear.

"Hey, Xiaoyu," Jiang Xing's voice came from there immediately, "What are you doing? Are you done with school?"

"...Hmm." Jiang Shiyu was a little depressed when he heard this voice.

"Have you eaten yet?" Jiang Xing continued to ask.

"What's the matter?" Jiang Shiyu asked.

"I'll visit you next week," Jiang Xing said in a loud voice, slurring his words, as if he had been drinking, "Remember to spare time, I'll be there on Saturday, Saturday, you wait for me ..."

Jiang Shiyu took the phone a little further away, Jiang Xing's voice was so loud that it hurt his ears.

But at the moment when he took the distance, the voice on the other end of the phone turned into another man, who whispered something, as if he answered the phone directly, and said: "Your dad is drunk, next week he will I'm going to see you, you..."

Jiang Shiyu hung up the phone, and the screen returned to the chat box interface. He looked at his half-typed words, and suddenly had no desire to continue typing.

Jiang Xing is coming next week.

Does mom know?

If Mom knows... No, Mom better not know.

Jiang Shiyu sighed, looked at the meeting time tomorrow posted by Yan An in the group, and replied "OK".

"Mom!" Yan An shouted in the living room, holding Xiao Binghai, "Where's the cat bag I bought earlier!"

"Hey!" My mother responded, and came out of the study, "I told you to pack it up. If you don't listen, I'll put it under the drawer in your room for you!"

"Why did you put it there?" Yan An muttered, carrying the little hail into the room, putting it in a cat bag, and carrying it out the door.

Previously, I saw other animals screaming and screaming and tossing around. Little Hail is different. As long as it is pinched by the back of the neck, it can't move at all. He refused to talk to Yan An for a long time.

Little Hail refused to be carried by Yan An, so the nurse handed it over to Xie Lanlan. Xie Lanlan took two steps back and said, "I will take Xie Zhu to class this afternoon, she is allergic to cats."

Jiang Shiyu could only catch the small hailstones.

The money for the vaccine is paid at one time. Yan An has a small book, which records the vaccine status and development of Xiaohai. This time, he has to wait for the doctor to sign. inside.

"Hey," Yan An finished, and came out to touch Jiang Shiyu, "Why are we going this afternoon?"

"Huh? Whatever," Jiang Shiyu thought for a while, "It's almost the end of the term, let's go back and do our homework."

"... Fuck," Yan An stared at him for a while, "Why are you working so hard recently?"

Jiang Shiyu wanted to say that he didn't work so hard, but that it was almost the end of the semester and he had to get better grades in the exam, plus Jiang Xing wanted to see him... He didn't say anything, but his eyes suddenly froze, and he focused on the other side of the street. on that man.

He just met this man yesterday, Uncle Li, who is suspected to be his mother’s boyfriend——Suspected, his mother didn’t make it clear when he introduced him, Jiang Shiyu always felt that the relationship between them was not close, maybe it wasn’t what he wanted like that.

But my mother will not take herself to meet a strange man for no reason.

Jiang Shiyu stared at it for a long time, then suddenly turned his head to look at Yan An, who also happened to look at him.

"What's wrong?" Yan An asked.

"...It's okay." Jiang Shiyu looked across the street again, and the man had disappeared into the crowd.

I read it wrong?

Probably not. Although he didn't remember the man's name, he still had a deep impression of the man, so he couldn't make a mistake.

Yan An stared at him for a few times, but said nothing, when Xie Lanlan went back home to pick up Xie Zhu, Yan An took Jiang Shiyu to his house.

"Let's eat here in the afternoon," Yan An closed the bedroom door, "I'll come back in the evening."

"Okay." Jiang Shiyu had no objection.

His mind was full of doubts about the relationship between that man and his mother. From the first time his mother said that he would take him to see an uncle next Friday, Jiang Shiyu felt strange, and always felt... There was a strong sense of disobedience. harmony.

His mother brought him to meet other uncles, and Jiang Xing happened to come to see him.

Will there be any connection between the two?

"Jiang Shiyu?" Yan An pushed him.

"Huh?" Jiang Shiyu came back to his senses and turned to look at him.

"Are you asleep?" Yan An stared at him.

"...didn't fall asleep." Jiang Shiyu said.

"Really." Yan An glanced at him.

Mama Yan just knocked on the door and interrupted the conversation between the two of them. She came in with some fruit and asked Jiang Shiyu to stay for dinner. Yu, reached out and took a slice of orange into his mouth, staring at it while chewing.

Jiang Shiyu's mouth twitched a few times when he stared at him, and he smiled helplessly: "What are you doing?"

"Did something happen?" Yan An took another orange and handed it to Jiang Shiyu's mouth, "Your home?"

Jiang Shiyu tilted his head back, reached out to take the orange and stuffed it into his mouth: "Why do you ask that?"

Yan An paused, and clicked his tongue in disbelief.

"Huh?" Jiang Shiyu was puzzled.

"Actually, you don't know how to hide your emotions." Yan An ate the fruit and didn't feed him any more. "It's that kind of thing, you write it all over your face when something happens, but you hold it back and don't tell anyone. It makes people very anxious to see it, and I really want to take you away to study and study..."

"I'm a bun." Jiang Shiyu sighed.

Yan An didn't swallow a mouthful of oranges, choked, and coughed for a while while laughing before recovering, and said to Jiang Shiyu, "I'm sick."

Jiang Shiyu stared at him with a smile for a while, raised his hand to scratch his head twice, and sighed lightly.

Yan An rubbed his head on his palm, and said: "I told you, if you have something to say, just tell me, anyway, I myself... When I have something to hold back, I will be happy." Uncomfortable, aren't you uncomfortable?"

"It's okay." Jiang Shiyu said.

"You are used to it." Yan An said.

probably.

Anyway... Jiang Shiyu felt that he didn't seem to have any desire to tell, he was born like this, when something happened, he was confused and never thought of asking anyone, he kept it to himself.

Jiang Shiyu frowned and said, "Aren't you the same?"

Yan An looked at him.

"If you have anything to say, just hold back and don't say anything, no matter how much you ask." Jiang Shiyu tapped his finger on the table, "We are both like this."

"We are buns in the same cage." Yan An said happily.

"You have to be stuffed with chili peppers," Jiang Shiyu laughed, "It's okay to cover up all your emotions, and you still lose your temper when I ask you."

"You can't even eat the pepper stuffing." Yan An pulled the tablet aside, intending to find some videos to watch, "That's so embarrassing."

Jiang Shiyu glanced at Yan An, but did not continue to answer.

Every sentence that followed would make him feel weird, so he simply shut up.

Yan An left him to sleep here at night, Jiang Shiyu thought about it, and decided to go home. After all, his mother was at home, and he didn't go back all day today. If he didn't go back at night, he would inevitably be scolded. Son or something, he didn't want to be told that by his mother.

Jiang Shiyu went home alone, and when he got to the entrance of the corridor, he saw his mother coming out from there, and both of them were stunned.

"Where did you go to play?" Mom frowned, "You can play without doing your homework."

"...Yes." Jiang Shiyu replied without looking her in the eyes.

"I may not come back tonight, you lock the door at home," said mother, "don't go out tomorrow."

"Oh." Jiang Shiyu responded, pressed the elevator, couldn't hold back after thinking about it, and asked, "Are you looking for Uncle Li?"

Mom looked at him, and after a while, nodded lightly.

"You two..." Jiang Shiyu was interrupted by his mother before he finished speaking, "He is my boyfriend, do you have any opinions?"

"No," Jiang Shiyu paused, "I don't have any opinion on your finding a boyfriend, it's just...you have to see clearly what kind of person he is, as long as you like it."

"At least not like your father," Mom said.

Jiang Shiyu looked up at his mother, nodded and said nothing.

Mom frowned immediately, and took two steps forward: "Why don't you talk?"

"No." Jiang Shiyu said.

"No? Nothing?" Mom walked up to Jiang Shiyu and glared at him, "Why do you always refuse to talk to me like this? Do you think I'm pitiful? Do you think I'm pitiful so you followed me to the south?" ?”

"...I didn't mean that," Jiang Shiyu took two steps back and said calmly, "I'm sorry."

"You are the same as your father! No matter what you do, you will only say sorry! Sorry! And then!" Mom's voice was too loud, and Jiang Shiyu had the urge to cover his ears, "I raised you so big, I I can't see what you're thinking at all!"

"That's because you never thought about seeing me clearly!" Jiang Shiyu growled.

At this moment, he thought of Yan An. Yan An said that his expression could easily reveal his emotions, but his mother said that she couldn't see him clearly at all.

"No, you didn't even think about seeing me," Jiang Shiyu took a deep breath, and when the elevator came, he walked directly into the elevator without looking into his mother's eyes, "You brought me to the south because of the divorce. When Jiang Xing asked me to follow him, so you took me away, if Jiang Xing didn't mention this, would you still remember that you have a son?"

Jiang Shiyu spoke very calmly. Finally, he looked up at his mother and asked each word, "Do you remember?"

Mom walked into the elevator suddenly, raised her hand and slapped Jiang Shiyu on the face. It hurt a lot. Her nails were too long, and she probably scratched some marks on her face. Jiang Shiyu didn't move, but turned his face to the left. Off.

"Jiang Xing called you, didn't he?" After beating him, his mother grabbed his wrist, "You answered, and you agreed that he would come to see you. He sent me a special email to tell me today that you Forgive him, you agree to him coming to see you!"

"I haven't." Jiang Shiyu gritted his teeth and said.

"He's coming next Saturday!" Mom's voice was sharp, "When he comes and sees that you haven't improved in your studies and my work is still the same, he will laugh at me, and he will think that I have no roots. Life is not good! Do you understand? We have to live better than him, and he will never be able to climb up to us, do you understand!"

Jiang Shiyu didn't say a word, and he didn't listen to what his mother scolded later.

When the elevator door opened again, my mother went out directly. Jiang Shiyu stood there alone for a while, pressed the floor of the house, but did not go out when he arrived. Instead, he pressed the first floor and returned to the corridor inside.

He walked out of the neighborhood in a daze, not knowing where he was walking, anyway, after walking for a while, he suddenly took out his mobile phone and called a number, and the answer was picked up quickly.

"Hello?" Yan An said.

Jiang Shiyu came back to his senses and hurriedly said, "I made a mistake."

"Jiang Shiyu!" Yan An was stunned for a moment, then shouted in a panic, "Where are you?"

"I'm here..." Jiang Shiyu looked up. The surrounding environment was strange yet familiar. He paused for a while and said, "I'm lost."

"...Okay, open a location sharing, I'll go find you," Yan An's voice trembled twice, probably putting on his shoes, "Don't cry, I'll be right over."

Cry ass.

Get lost, why cry?

Do you still have to go to the police uncle to yell at you later?

Jiang Shiyu hung up the phone, and suddenly found that some water seemed to be rubbed on his little finger. He was stunned for a while, and touched his face, which was full of tears.

This time he was stunned for a long time, Jiang Shiyu opened the shared location, sat down on the side of the road, lit a cigarette, didn't smoke, didn't move, didn't think about anything
