song for the city

Xin Yu's family runs a supermarket. The front is a shop, not too big or small. The front is connected to the backyard. In the yard, there are a few pots of flowers that are about to wither, and a pile of sundries. There are many goods in the corner.The second floor is where I live, and there is only one floor.

Sure enough, the roller shutter doors of the supermarket were lowered, leaving no gaps underneath.So the two could only go around into the backyard from the alley behind, but the gate of the backyard was also locked.

Chu Ranfei looked at the locked dark red door, and tried to shake it a few times, but the door was indifferent, and he said with a look of embarrassment: "How do we get in now?"

Xiang Pei walked along the wall for a few times silently, then fell back, pointed upwards, and said firmly, "Turn over."

Following the direction of Pei's finger, Chu Ranfei saw a row of glass pieces inserted on the wall. The thorns were fierce and aggressive. Although they were of different heights, they basically stood airtight. the wall.Chu Ranfei swallowed, his whole body resisting: "How many holes do you want to be poked out?"

"There is an empty space here, no glass." Xiang Pei took a few steps forward and looked at an empty wall.There is indeed no glass in the place he said, probably ignored, but the gap is very small, and the glass next to it still looks leaky, and it really can't be turned over without any technology.

"It's too small!" Chu Ranfei complained, feeling that there is no difference between whether there is space or not.

Spreading his hands to Pei, he said, "There's nowhere to go in now, unless you knock on the door and call out Auntie."

Having said that, Chu Ranfei looked at the narrow gap again, and thought that Xin Yu might still be locked up at home, so he gritted his teeth: "Okay, I'll come first."

After finishing speaking, Chu Ranfei rushed forward sullenly, kicking his feet against the wall, and Xiang Pei turned sideways to block him back: "I'll come first, I have more experience than you in climbing the wall."

Xiang Pei used to go out over the wall when he was in junior high school. He has mastered the technique of climbing over the wall and has a lot of experience.

Chu Ranfei still wanted to argue, Xiang Pei had already crossed over the wall, using both hands and feet, his movements were quick, without sloppiness, and the glass next to him was also perfectly dodged.Chu Ranfei stared blankly below, only feeling a gust of wind in front of him, and Xiang Pei called his name from inside the wall.

Through the gap in the door, Xiang Pei lowered his voice inside and said, "It's dark, be careful, I'll follow you below."

Fortunately, Chu Ran was so skinny that the turning process went smoothly, but the sound of landing was a bit loud, making the two of them hide behind the box and squat in fear, holding their breath, and didn't dare to speak for a while.

After waiting for a few seconds, there seemed to be no one else in the yard except them, and there was no other movement. Only then did Xiang Pei and the others dare to come out from behind the box and move to the window step by step.

"Is Xin Yu's room there?" Xiang Pei asked in a low voice.

The windows above their heads are equipped with anti-theft bars, and the lights in the room are turned on, and the light blue curtains inside can be vaguely seen.

Chu Ranfei nodded: "But we can't get in," he raised his wrist and glanced at his watch, "Auntie must be at home at this point."

"Wait," Xiang Pei suddenly squatted down and lowered his head, "Sit on my shoulder and knock on the window with a stick to see if Xin Yu is inside."

Now I can't control that much anymore, anyway, Chu Ranfei is much shorter than Xiang Pei, and he doesn't have much flesh on his body, so Xiang Pei can still bear his weight.

Chu Ranfei sat on Xiang Pei's shoulder, and Xiang Pei stood up tremblingly. Chu Ranfei just touched the window. He tentatively stretched the wooden stick in and knocked on the window. However, after waiting for a few seconds, there was still nothing inside. reaction.

"Knock again and try."

So Chu Ranfei knocked twice more, this time with stronger force and longer duration than last time, footsteps came from the room, and he slowly approached the window.Chu Ranfei supported the wall and waited anxiously, finally the curtain was pulled open, revealing Xin Yu's face.

However, before Chu Ranfei could speak to Xin Yu, his expression froze.Xiang Pei noticed that something was wrong with Chu Ranfei from the bottom, and wanted to look up, sweating profusely, only to see the scene where the window was closed again.

"what happened?"

"Put me down."

"Is Xin Yu there?"

Chu Ranfei got off Xiang Pei's shoulder, turned around and ran towards the stairs of Xin Yu's house, kicking up the gravel on the ground.

"Chu Ranfei! What are you doing!"

No matter how Xiang Pei yelled at the back, Chu Ranfei didn't look back, he crawled to the door of Xin Yu's house in one breath, and began to knock on the door.The door was slammed by him, and it was too late to stop him. Xiang Pei could only stand helplessly at the door, waiting for the people inside to open the door. His mind was running fast, what to say when the door opened.

The woman who came to open the door had abnormally white skin and was extremely sick. Her hair was coiled up and tied behind her head, and she was wearing a brown loose floral dress. She was skinny, like a chopstick, but not as straight as a chopstick, and her body was crooked. The ground leaned against the wall, as if it would break in the next second.

"Student Chu, what are you doing at our house again?"

As soon as Sun Yan opened her mouth, both Xiang Pei and Chu Ranfei couldn't help shaking their hearts.Her voice was unbearably hoarse, and she still smelled heavily of cigarettes, but she still seemed indifferent.

"I'm here to find Xin Yu."

"It's such an unfortunate coincidence that our Yuyu family just went out again. Auntie will let you know if you have anything to say."

She didn't even bother to make up a lie, so she just used excuses full of loopholes to cover it up, stared at Chu Ranfei with a fake smile, and held the door frame with one hand, making it clear that she didn't want them to come in.

The three of them stood at the door silently, and the atmosphere was awkward.

"Then I'm sorry, Auntie." Chu Ranfei bent down to avoid Sun Yan's hand, and went straight into the room, leaving Sun Yan yelling behind him.

"Who allowed you to enter my house? Get out of here! Brats don't know the heights of heaven and earth!"

She wanted to chase after her, and Xiang Pei stood in front of Sun Yan: "Auntie, we know that Xin Yu is at home."

"Then what does it matter to you?"

"We were all her friends and just wanted to see her."

"Friends? It's you playing some broken music with my Yuyu every day, you all want to take her away! She can't leave me, you all get out!"

Sun Yan suddenly roared hysterically, her throat seemed to be deformed by her force, her voice was weird and desolate, as if every word was crushed and thrown out.

Her transformation was sudden and strange. One second she was normal, and the next second her whole body was distorted.

Although Xin Yu had heard about her mother's mental state long ago, but seeing Sun Yan like this for the first time, Xiang Pei was still frightened, and tried to comfort her at a loss, but Sun Yan was obviously out of control now , screaming, opened Xiang Pei's hand, and scratched Pei's face with his nails, scratching a bloodstain directly on it, Xiang Pei was in pain, so he had to let her go first.

Over there, Chu Ranfei kicked open Xin Yu's locked door with his foot, and then he brought out Xin Yu who was locked inside.

As soon as Sun Yan saw Xin Yu, her out-of-control emotions finally eased a little. She walked and ran to Xin Yu's side, took her daughter's hand and pressed it to her face, showing a mother's only loving expression.

"Honey, go back to your room, don't leave mom."

Panting for breath, Xiang Pei looked at Xin Yu, her face that was always smiling was covered with tears, her right cheek was red and swollen, and her hair was messed up.

Xin Yu stroked Sun Yan's head, and curled the corners of her mouth stiffly: "Mom, I won't leave you. Wait for me first."

Xin Yu sluggishly embraced Sun Yan's body and let her sit on the sofa. Sun Yan finally calmed down, but glanced at Pei and Chu Ranfei with knife-like eyes: "Get out."

"Auntie, I..." Chu Ranfei still wanted to talk, Xiang Pei grabbed his clothes and shook his head to signal him not to talk too much.

"You go out and wait for me." Xin Yu leaned close to Chu Ranfei's ear and patted him on the shoulder.

After waiting outside the door for about half an hour, Xin Yu came out of the door. Chu Ranfei went up to meet her, and looked behind her in panic: "Where's your mother?"

"Give her some sleeping pills and temporarily let her sleep for a few hours."

"what happened?"

Xin Yu waved her hand wearily: "A relative passed away in my hometown. My dad had to go there. My mother was quite normal before leaving. But she still fell ill without my dad. I was not allowed to go out and locked me in the in the room."

"Then who hit you on the face?"

"Who else, my mother, wanted to run out and was caught by her. This was the first time she hit me. After the beating, she hugged me and cried. I can't blame her."

Xiang Pei said, "Do you want to go to the hospital?"

"Actually, she doesn't play hard. I don't know why she looks scary. I haven't practiced singing for a few days. I want to go back to playing guitar."

"Why do you still play the guitar when you're like this?" Chu Ranfei was speechless, but he couldn't help Xin Yu, so he could only accompany her to 'every night'.

Xin Yu's appearance scared You Jing and the others so much that even Chen Zhaonan abandoned the beautiful girl and grabbed Xin Yu to ask questions.

The other end was noisy, but only Liang Zhang noticed that there was a long nail mark on Xiang Pei's face. He asked Xiang Pei how he did it, and Xiang Pei told Liang Zhang about it.

"Xin Yu's mother...why did she become like this?"

"Her mother has a mental illness inherited from the family. Her world is only Xin Yu and Xin Yu's father. She always feels that they will leave her."

"Hey, Xin Yu loves to laugh so much." Liang Zhang looked at Xin Yu's side face, feeling mixed feelings in his heart.

Xin Yu is much stronger than all the girls he knows.

"Xin Yu is afraid that she will become like her mother in the future, so she makes herself happy every day."

It seems that happiness is the medicine that cures everything.

The band sang two songs on stage, and it was late.

"Go home." Xiang Pei stepped down and walked to Liang Zhang's side.

Liang Zhang nodded, changed his clothes and came out with a band-aid in his hand.

He threw the band-aid to Pei Xiang and asked him to stick it on.

"Where did it come from?" Xiang Pei raised his eyebrows and gently rubbed the smooth surface of the band-aid.

"It's changed." Liang Zhang put his bag on his back.

In fact, I just went outside to buy it.

There was only a very shallow scratch on Xiang Pei's face, and it was unnecessary to put a band-aid on it, but he still tore it off and stuck it on his face.

Liang Zhang said with a satisfied smile: "That's right, it's a little more masculine."

"Your braised egg looks more masculine."

"Fuck you." Liang Zhang raised his middle finger.

Xiang Pei held Liang Zhang's Zhangyang's fingers, wrapping Liang Zhang in his warm palm.

"Study bad?"

"I'm not as obedient as you think." Liang Zhang pouted, but refused to retract his fingers.

"Don't be bad like Chen Zhaonan." Xiang Pei patted Liang Zhang's head.

Liang Zhang was poked in pain, and threatened to cut Xiang Pei's hair one night, and bent his eyes to say that he is welcome to try.

After talking about it, Liang Zhang thought to forget it, after all, Xiang Pei's long hair is so beautiful, there is no second one in the world.

Before leaving, he said a few words to Pei Xinyu, mostly to tell her to go home first at night, so as not to cause any problems with her mother, and then call her father and ask him to come back as soon as possible.Xin Yu smiled and agreed, jumped on Xiang Pei and gave him a hug, saying thank you very much.

Liang Zhang stood at the door and waited for Xiang Pei. In the light and shadow, he saw Xin Yu's arms wrapped around Xiang Pei's neck. She stood on tiptoe, looking very strenuous. She just hugged Xiang Pei briefly, and immediately let go. He opened it, stuck out his tongue and waved to Pei, and finally turned around and waved to Liang Zhang as well.

Liang Zhang didn't respond, he just looked at Xin Yu indifferently, and Xiang Pei, who was walking towards him, walked out of the bar first.

In fact, his teeth touched each other, with the posture of crushing each other, and it took a lot of effort to restrain himself from going forward to separate them.

He thought he could easily hug Xiang Pei without tiptoeing, effortlessly, and his arms could wrap around Xiang Pei better.

Just as he's perfect for liking Xiang Pei, he's perfect for hugging him.
