Cross the sea

The continuous high temperature in Haishi was not extinguished by the heavy rain. The air conditioner in the dormitory was still turned on to 16 degrees. When a large drop of water fell on Shen Linwei's pillow again, Shen Linwei sat up violently and beat the bed board hard.

"It's fucking endless. From this air conditioner dripping water, I can't fucking do anything smoothly."

Zhou An kept laughing in the lower bunk, and Shen Linwei hung upside down on the railing: "I'm not kidding, I watched porn in the dormitory by myself two days ago, and I couldn't even get hard after watching several."

"Li Chengyun, why don't you lend me some money to buy an air conditioner first?"

Shen Linwei said, "I don't think the air conditioner can be repaired. If I wait for the school to replace it, I guess I'm going to be paralyzed."

"No money."

Li Chengyun was leaning on the bed to look at the phone, the brightness of the phone was dimmed.

Zhou An also sat up from the bed when he heard this, he frowned and asked Li Chengyun: "Are you going to have no money?"

Li Chengyun was replying to the message, and when he heard this, he mumbled lazily, typed a few words on the screen with his fingers, then turned off the phone and threw it aside.

Probably because Li Chengyun was not very interested, the content of the chat quickly shifted from buying an air conditioner to a few acting girls who played together a few days ago.

"I didn't plan to ask An Qianqiu out, but I didn't expect He Zhen to know him."

Shen Linwei's words were full of envy, "It's still a master of learning."

"Hey, I remember the last time we played with Hezhen? Why don't you play with him another day? Li Chengyun, ask him out again."

Li Chengyun's eyes were glued to the phone screen, and when he heard someone calling his name, he replied casually: "Why did you call him?"

The meaning of refusal was obvious in the words, and it was useless to say what Li Chengyun didn't want to say. Shen Linwei sighed, and lay down again holding the wet pillow.

The next day's experimental class, Zhou An, came early to take up the seat. He waited until the oily professor walked in, but he didn't see Li Chengyun. This course is the only compulsory course that requires full attendance. Zhou An hid his phone in the drawer and typed: It's time for roll call, how about you?The phone screen lit up, Li Chengyun glanced at it and then turned off the phone, continuing to look at the woman who was busy moving goods at the door of the convenience store.

She was wearing brown sleeves, her long hair pulled back was long and dry, her skin looked poorly maintained, and she only had one pair of eyes, but the wrinkles at the end of the eyes were very dense.

The first time Zhen Wei noticed the two wrinkles under her eyes, she smashed the huanghuali wood dressing table in front of Li Chengyun, and ran downstairs in a silk nightgown to make a phone call, asking the hospital to call a doctor for Botox , probably because it was close to two o'clock in the morning, and the person on the other side didn't know what to say, Zhen Wei shouted loudly into the microphone: "Do you want to die? Let me say it again, come here now."

Seven-year-old Li Chengyun stood on the stairs, watching Zhen Wei sitting on the sofa, pressing his fingers hard on the end of his eyes.

Li Xiangting stood beside him at some point, and patted his head lightly, telling him to go upstairs to sleep first.

The house was very quiet that night, and Li Chengyun slept soundly. The next day, Zhen Wei returned to normal, but when she was sending him out to school, she suddenly reached out and grabbed his schoolbag belt, then leaned down slightly and looked at Li Chengyun, and paused for a while. Open the mouth: "Is mother beautiful?"

Zhen Wei and Li Xiangting are both talented and beautiful, they were like that ten years ago, they are now, and they will be like that in the future.

The road was slippery on a rainy day, and the woman carrying a box of apples slipped and staggered. In order to stabilize her figure, the box in her hand tilted, and the two apples rolled down the stairs. The flesh was smashed out, and the juice mixed with mud and rolled all the way To the feet of Li Chengyun.

The woman's gaze extended along the apple, and finally fell on the boy standing under the tree.

The boy was tall, and the shadow of the tree fell on his face, making his brows deep.

The woman smiled at him, then walked over with the apple box in her arms, bent down with some difficulty, trying to free her hands to pick up the apples on the ground.

When he got closer, Li Chengyun realized that the woman was thinner than expected, and there were two obvious scratches on the back of her hand.

After the woman tried to no avail, she looked at the mud on the ground with some worry, as if she was considering whether to put the apple box on the ground.

Li Chengyun stretched out his hand, bent down slightly, and picked up two unrecognizable apples.

"Thank you, just put it in my box."

The woman's voice was better than expected.

"Auntie knocked out apples like this and still sell them."

Li Chengyun smiled, "It's a little wicked."

As if she didn't expect him to say that, the woman was stunned for a moment, but quickly realized: "No, no, it's not for sale. I plan to keep it for myself."

The smile on Li Chengyun's face remained unchanged. He put two apples into the box, and then held up the hand that was stained by the apple.

"Go to the store and wash your hands."

The woman still looked enthusiastic. She greeted Li Chengyun and walked into the store. Li Chengyun followed behind and said thank you with a smile.

The store is not big, but the air conditioner is fully turned on. The woman put the box on the table, pointed out to Li Chengyun where the bathroom is, and then turned to go to the truck to carry other things.

The goods were very heavy, and it was very difficult for her to move them. Li Chengyun stood and looked at them for a while, then went to the sink to wash his hands.

The water outlet of the faucet seemed to be missing a partition, and when it was turned on, the water was very large, splashing Li Chengyun all over.

Li Chengyun rinsed his hands, glanced at the pink towel on the shelf, the edge was unthreaded, and a very long thread was hanging in the stagnant water of the sink, everything was as he thought.

When Li Chengyun came out of the bathroom, the woman was still moving things. The man who drove the truck said something to her, and the woman turned her head and smiled.

The mobile phone in his pocket kept shaking, and the water in his hand was still wet. Li Chengyun took out his mobile phone and frowned slightly when he saw the caller ID.

"Ah."

Li Chengyun leaned against the counter, watching the woman put the box at the door and turn back.

"That woman's name is He Ping, a native of Haishi, 40 years old, married once six years ago, but divorced in less than a year—" The other end of the phone made it clear, Li Chengyun looked at He Ping again, She was carrying two boxes of mineral water, which seemed to be a bit strenuous, and she had to put down and rest for a while every two steps.

"She also has a son."

Li Chengyun listened quietly, when a figure in a black top came into view, the boy directly took the box on the ground, the veins on his wrists snaked upwards, and finally hid them in the somewhat long cuffs.

"A sophomore in Haishi University, majoring in biological engineering."

The fan blades of the air conditioner were fixed, and the cold wind continued to pour into Li Chengyun's neckline, and the fingertips holding the phone felt cold.

The boy put the mineral water on the ground, raised his head, was stunned for a moment when he met Li Chengyun's expressionless face, then nodded lightly at him, and then turned around to pick up the thing in the woman's hand.

The voice on the phone was still clear. After a series of background checks, the man seemed to realize that he did not mention his name, so he added at the end of the sentence: "My name is Hezhen."

He Zhen dragged the mineral water box to the freezer, and put the water bottles on it one by one. Halfway through the arrangement, the back of his neck suddenly felt hot.

He Zhen moved a bit, and the back of his head gently touched the chin of the person behind him.

The people behind were very close, and He Zhen seemed to be able to hear the sound of internal organs colliding in his body. Before he could think of the words stuck in his throat, Li Chengyun suddenly stretched out his hand around his side, and took it away before putting it on his hand. mineral water bottle.

"This store is owned by your mother."

Li Chengyun took a step back to widen the distance, his fingers loosely wrapped around the body of the bottle, and his tone was gentle.

He Zhen continued to pour water into the freezer, and paused for a while before humming.

Probably this short syllable terminated the conversation that was supposed to continue. Li Chengyun was still standing not far from him. He Zhen wanted to sneak a peek from the corner of his eye, but unfortunately the plan was seen through at the very beginning.

"Are you going back to school soon?"

Li Chengyun unscrewed the cap, looked at He Zhen with a smile, tightened the cap again, and said, "We can go back together."

Li Chengyun's tone was firm, leaving no room for Hezhen to refuse.

When he was about to go back, He Zhen said goodbye to He Ping. He Ping sent the two of them out with a smile. She looked over He Zhen and landed on Li Chengyun. She said shyly, "This is the first time I saw Zhen Zhen Classmate, he is usually too boring, and I will trouble my classmates to take him to play more in the future."

Li Chengyun saw that He Ping didn't answer, until the woman pursed her lips a little nervously, then Li Chengyun replied with a smile: "Don't worry, auntie."

The hanging arm was lifted up, and he embraced He Zhen's shoulder very familiarly.

This time back to school, Li Chengyun and He Zhen didn't take the path. They stood side by side at the intersection and waited for the red light. The girl standing in the left front turned her head and secretly looked at Li Chengyun, her intentions were blatant, but Li Chengyun didn't seem to notice anything.

"Really."

The voice of the person beside him was very soft, and He Zhen thought he was hallucinating at first, but in the next second, Li Chengyun read it again: Zhenzhen.

When the red light started counting seconds, Li Chengyun looked sideways at Hezhen and said, "The name of the word is very similar to a girl's name."

"Is that what your parents call you?"

Li Chengyun continued to ask.

This question is not difficult to answer, He Zhen nodded: "Yes."

Li Chengyun didn't ask any more questions, the green light came on, Li Chengyun walked forward, He Zhen followed behind him.

The air after the rain is very humid, but after walking such a short distance, the sleeves are already glued to the skin of the arms.

He Zhen couldn't help but look at Li Chengyun. He was wearing a white cotton T-shirt, which looked thin and thin, with his shoulder blades looming. All the bad adjectives about summer seemed to have nothing to do with Li Chengyun.

Zhou An saw Li Chengyun who was crossing the road from a long distance. He waved at Li Chengyun, and before Li Chengyun came over, he hurriedly said, "Why don't you come to the experiment class today? I pretended to bend down to pick up the pen I escaped a catastrophe only by helping you answer, this is a full-time class, bro."

Li Chengyun is tall, so Zhou An didn't notice He Zhen standing behind him at all.

"Let's get rid of one person by playing on weekends."

Li Chengyun unscrewed the bottle cap, and continued: "Hezhen is also going on weekends."

Zhou An was stunned for a few seconds, and his eyebrows were knit together: "Didn't you say that he played badly?"

Zhou An spoke quickly, and only after he said a word did he remember that He Zhen was standing beside him. Zhou An glanced at Li Chengyun.

"Then find a worse base."

Li Chengyun said it casually, Hezhen glanced at him and said, "Forget it, I can't even make a shot when I stand under the basket."

Li Chengyun raised his head and took a sip of water, swallowed it and said, "You pass the ball to me, and I'll throw it."

"And Auntie said she wanted me to take care of you."

Li Chengyun's lips were stained with water, he turned his head and lowered his eyes to smile at He Zhen, and said to him in a gentle tone: "You have to be obedient."
