don't try to lie to me

It was late at night and the dew was heavy, and an incandescent lamp was lit under the eaves.

Sparse light falls from above, dividing the courtyard with mixed light and shade.

Huo Ge sat in the middle of the courtyard, facing the courtyard door, and when he heard the creaking sound of the wooden door, he subconsciously turned his head away.

The weather-beaten courtyard door was slammed open and bounced twice against the wall.

A tall boy stood in front of the open door.

The boy was shocked by his appearance, and stood straight for a while holding the handlebars, his eyes with unclear emotions were nailed to his face like nails.

Almost immediately, Huo Ge realized that the other party did not welcome him, and even rejected him very much.But obviously he didn't know he would be here.

At this moment, he seemed to understand the embarrassment and sadness on Han Dongmin's face.

The two looked at each other for a century, and the third person present was finally awakened by the summer wind.He slowly opened his eyes wide and looked at Han Ye, as if to confirm whether he had admitted the wrong person.

Seeing that he had identified the right person, Han Dongmin stood up happily and said, "Is your son back?"

Only then did Han Ye look away from Huo Ge's face, and after sweeping over Han Dongmin's face, he lifted the car into the yard.

Seeing that Han Ye had parked his car and came, Han Dongmin pointed to Huo Ge and said to Huo Ge, "Xiao Ge, this is your brother, Han Ye."

He tied his tongue, and after a short pause, he added: "You two will be brothers in the future, and you must help each other."

After speaking, the atmosphere on the field changed subtly.Han Ye's face darkened visibly with the naked eye, and the drunk man tried to pull him, trying to hold him close to Huo Ge, and stretched out his other hand towards Huo Ge.

Look at the posture is to want the two to shake hands.

But he drank too much and his feet were unsteady, and the young man was tall and thin, and when he stood there, he didn't move for a long time.

Han also stood motionless, without even looking at his own father.His eyes were fixed on Huo Ge's face from beginning to end, with provocation and demonstration, like a little wolf dog enclosing territory.

Suddenly, the little wolf dog's eyes moved, he frowned quickly, moved his gaze down an inch, and stopped at the rice bowl in front of Huo Ge.

Huo Ge's eyebrows twitched without warning, and suddenly he had a bad premonition.

Sure enough, the next second he saw Han Ye raised his eyes, turned the key ring in his hand and walked two steps towards him, raised his chin and said, "This is my bowl."

Huo Ge looked at the arc drawn by the key ring, and after a moment of silence, he said, "I'll wash it for you."

Han glanced at him indifferently: "No, I'm a clean freak. I don't use things that other people have used."

So far, the first meeting between the two broke up unhappy.

After tidying up the mess on the dining table, Huo Ge went back to his room and took out the toiletries he needed from the suitcase, and went for a wash first.After tossing all day today, the sweat on my body has been dried for several rounds, and it is already sticky.

After washing up, he briefly looked at the small room where he was going to live for two years.

The room is about a dozen square meters, it should have been cleaned just now, and it looks very clean and tidy.

There is a small wardrobe and a new desk in the room.The desk is placed by the window, and you can see the mottled white wall in the courtyard when you look up, and you can see the night sky in the distance when you lift it up a bit.

This is still a starry sky night view room, Huo Ge thought to himself.

After seeing the room, Huo Ge turned off the light early and leaned towards the bed, plugged in the headphones, turned up the music, and watched the night frame outlined by the window frame.

It's been his nightly bedtime state since his parents' car accident.He couldn't sleep all night, staring at the ceiling and out of the window in a daze, sometimes his mind was in a trance, and he felt that all this was like a dream, and only the deafening heavy metal music in the earphones could wake him up.

Make him realize, oh, he's alive.He was the only one still alive, so damn miserable.

Time slipped away unconsciously, and after an unknown amount of time, Huo Ge pulled out his earphones, stuffed his MP3 under his pillow, and got ready to sleep.

In the quiet night, only the alarm clock was ticking in the dark environment.

Like being hypnotized.

Just as he was about to fall asleep in a daze, he heard a creaking sound of pushing the door next door.

Huo Ge wondered half asleep, why the doors here are creaking, the quality is really bad.

Perhaps the sound insulation of the old house is poor, and a little sound in the silent night will be infinitely amplified.When the sound of footsteps pulling slippers was heard outside, Huo Ge saw a kitten jumping to the head of his bed, jumping on his bed, jumping and jumping, suddenly raised a paw and scratched his chest.

Huo Ge was startled suddenly, and was completely awakened by the intermittent voice outside the door.

After waking up, he opened his eyes in a daze for a few seconds, and even forgot where he was for a moment.Moonlight streamed in through the window, and when he heard the thumping in the kitchen, he raised an arm restlessly to cover his eyes.

The scourge in the kitchen was cooking instant noodles, and the pots and pans turned into a string of wind chimes in his hands, making a brisk jingle.

It didn't take long for this wonderful music to startle his own father.

Han Dongmin walked into the kitchen cursing while suppressing his voice.

As soon as he entered the kitchen, he closed the door first, for fear of waking Huo Ge up.Then he pushed Han Ye aside in disgust, and cracked two eggs for him.

After finishing the series, Han Dongmin said, "I know you're not feeling well."

He sighed softly: "I heard that his parents originally planned to wait for him after school to take him to the next city for a trip. But they received a call from the old lady who said that her heart was not feeling well, and then the couple hurried down to pick up the The old lady went to the hospital in the city. Who knows that people are not as good as heaven, but on the way to the hospital... hey, it's all life."

Han Dongmin picked up the chopsticks and touched the noodles. He knew that Han also liked to eat soft ones, so he turned off the heat and covered the pot to simmer for a while.

"You should be sympathetic to him. Look around, you can get along the best. No, you two will go your separate ways after graduating from high school."

Han also casually leaned against the door frame and waited for instant noodles.

He has been tall and long-legged since he was a child, and now he has rushed to 1.8 meters four, a few centimeters taller than himself.

Han Dongmin looked sad and proud at such a son, his appearance and body followed his mother's, but his mother couldn't see it.

After feeling sorry for himself for a while, Han Dongmin picked up the noodles and said, "I don't expect you to take care of him, just don't make trouble for him, he is pitiful enough, okay."

After handing the noodles to Han Ye, Han Dongmin told him to go to bed early and study hard before returning to his room.

Han Ye was about to go back to the room to eat with the noodles, when he saw his father sticking his head out of the room again, looking particularly pervasive in the dark environment: "Tomorrow you take Xiaoge to school, my factory invites you It's no longer fake."

I just said that I don't expect him to take care of me.Han also looked at the steaming instant noodles with two poached eggs, and suddenly felt like eating people with short mouths.

He looked at half of Han Dongmin's silhouette protruding from the darkness, and said helplessly, "Isn't it used to describe male and female friends?"

"What——" Han Dongmin frowned in wonder, thinking about what kind of boyfriend and girlfriend, and immediately realized these two words, and immediately shouted in a serious voice, "What kind of boyfriend and girlfriend, you are only a boyfriend and girlfriend when you are young." You kid doesn't study hard all day long, you know how to play around. If you dare to fall in love early, I will break your leg."

"..."

Early the next morning, Huo Ge was woken up by the disturbing alarm clock early in the morning because he was going to report to school.

After he finished washing, Han Dongmin had already prepared breakfast.

White porridge, salted duck eggs, fermented bean curd and side dishes.

A sparse and ordinary breakfast is almost the standard for every household in Qingshi.

But when he saw these familiar memories that seemed to be separated by a long time ago, he was still stunned.The smiling face of my mother came to mind, waving at him and saying, "Xiao Ge, hurry up and have breakfast, I'm going to be late for school."

Seeing his sluggish expression, Han Dongmin thought it was because he didn't sleep well last night. After all, it was his first night, so he smiled and said, "It's been a long time since I woke up so early, right? I'm going to be a sophomore soon, so I have to be mentally prepared."

The consciousness struggled violently for a few times before returning to its original position. Huo Ge drank some water to moisten his dry throat, and nodded in agreement.

After breakfast, Han didn't show up, Huo Ge thought he had left early.But when he put on his schoolbag and was about to talk to Han Dongmin in the kitchen, he saw the young master with messy hair coming out of the room with his eyes squinted sleepily.

The other party also saw him, and from the corner of the eye, he glanced at him impatiently from getting up early, and then entered the bathroom.

Then Han Dongmin came out of the kitchen. He untied his apron and hung it on a nail at the kitchen door and asked, "Did Han Ye wake up?"

Huo Ge nodded.

"This stinky boy pinches me every day." Han Dongmin muttered dissatisfiedly, and turned to Huo Ge and told Huo Ge, "The school said hello. I can't ask for leave today. Let Han also take you there later. You After arriving at the school, go to the Academic Affairs Office and find a teacher surnamed Shen, and he will arrange it for you."

Huo Ge was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, while Han Dongmin was still patiently asking him a lot of things.To be honest, Han Dongmin is not related to him, and it is enough for him to be able to do this.After all, he is a person who doesn't even want his own grandma.

Huo Ge pursed his lips and smiled a little, his face that hadn't smiled for a long time was a little stiff: "Thank you uncle."

Han Dongmin was stunned for a moment, and then the smile on his lips deepened: "Hey, it's okay. Go to school well, and I will be admitted to a good university in the future, thank you uncle."

When the two of them had finished talking, Han Ye happened to come out with his schoolbag.

Seeing the scene of loving father and filial piety in front of him, he drooped his eyes and clicked his tongue in displeasure.

"Hurry up, take Xiaoge to school." Han Dongmin said and patted Huo Ge on the shoulder twice, smiling, as if to tell him not to worry.

Han Ye paused when he went out, and after hesitating for a moment, he turned his head and frowned impatiently: "Then tell your son to hurry up."

"You bastard." Han Dongmin raised his hand to hit him.

Probably because Han Ye's hostility was too obvious, standing with him, Huo Ge felt uncomfortable all over his body, as if being scratched by lice.

In addition, he is not an ignorant person.This man's face was so serious that he almost wrote "Mo Dao Lao Tzu" on his face. If it was his previous violent temper, he would have grabbed his collar and yelled at him.

Several times he wanted to walk away.

But in the end, Han Dongmin couldn't hold back the enthusiastic eyes that watched them leave.

The two walked for a while, Huo Ge really didn't want to maintain this suffocating scene, and considered how to let Han Ye go first.

Unexpectedly, the person on the side spoke before him: "Come up."

Huo Ge paused, and when he turned his head, he realized that the man had fallen several steps behind him, and was stepping on the bicycle with one foot on the ground.

looks-

Like waiting for him?

Huo Ge let out a cry, not daring to be sentimental.

Han also frowned quickly, very dissatisfied with his dawdling, his eyes were full of a rather violent "I let you get in the car, you should be grateful, dawdling ass".

For his arrogance, Huo Ge took it lightly, without fear or fear.

It wasn't until Huo Ge, who was in a stalemate for a moment, that Han Ye gradually became more indifferent, finally figured it out, walked over with his feet, and stopped in front of the bicycle that was about to rush out.

Han also showed impatience on his face: "What else do you want to do?"

After all, you have to live there for two years, so you can't see him when you look up, don't you see him when you look down?

Huo Ge comforted himself like this, pursed his lower lip and suggested, "Why don't I give you a ride."

Looking at the front bumper of the bicycle, he tried to maintain a good temper and said: "I have experience, I have carried people like this."

Han also seemed to have heard some joke, bowed his waist and caressed the handle of the car, raised his eyelids from bottom to top, and raised his chin unkindly: "There is a station outside the square, No. 23, stop 5 to School. Go by yourself."

After finishing speaking, he rode out with a whoosh.

Do not--

It flew out with a whoosh.

fair enough.

As soon as Han Ye left, Huo Ge felt relieved and walked leisurely to the bus station.

The bus started slowly and turned around the square before turning out.

The car is crowded with people, and this point is the peak time for going to school and going to work.

Huo Ge huddled at the rear of the car, holding the armrest ring that was at the same height as his shoulders, watching the scenery passing by the window.

Rong Town is a small town formed by the merger of several villages.

Liqing Middle School, where Huo Ge is about to enroll, is the only high school in the town, located in the center of Rong Town.

The Shili Back Street, where the Han family is located, is a little farther from the town center and needs to pass through a large farmland.Although the main road is remote, its diameter is only one or two kilometers.

The population of Shili Street is not large, and every household is close to each other, so the neighbor relationship is relatively close.

It is also because of this that some parents' gossip can quickly spread to everyone.

When the bus drove onto the road next to the wheat field, Huo Ge saw Han Ye riding a bicycle, and beside him were several boys who also wore Liqing school uniforms.

They seem to be competing who can ride faster, their legs are kicking like electric motors, and when the bus approaches, they also take off their hands and open their arms in the wind.

The wind whistled into their necklines, and the hearty laughter of the young man was carried into the carriage along with the sound of the wind.

So I can laugh, I thought he was a cool king, Huo Ge thought to himself.

The bus slowly passed by the group of teenagers, and when they brushed against them, Huo Ge was so keen that he noticed that Han Ye seemed to have glanced into the car.But soon turned his head and joked with the people around him.

"Hey, Han Ye."

"Did he just look at us?"

There was a girlish commotion in the carriage beside her, and Huo Ge put on the earphones without looking back, blocking out the sound from the outside world.
