I forgot system tasks after amnesia

When he came back, Shao Yan picked up a spare rib and took back his chopsticks.Seeing him grilling the rice, Shen Shuo stretched out his hand again...

With a "snap", the chopsticks collided crisply.

Shen Shuo: "...you are all boring."

Shao Yan: "It's okay, it's okay."

It was almost evening time for self-study when the two of them returned to school after dinner. When the classroom was the busiest, as soon as the two entered the door, Zhou Jiayi walked up to them and said, "The head teacher is looking for you."

At this special time, people tend to think of the worst.Shen Shuo's face changed slightly, he nodded and walked towards the office, Shao Yan hesitated for a moment, then quickly followed.As soon as the two of them walked to the door of the office, Lao Xu raised his eyes and saw them, and a nervous expression appeared on his face.

In the cold day, Shao Yan's palms were sweating, but Shen Shuo was still calm. He walked up to Lao Xu almost without any abnormality, and asked, "Teacher, what's the matter?"

Old Xu looked at Shao Yan next to Shen Shuo, hesitating for a moment in his eyes, and quickly looked back at Shen Shuo gently:

"The hospital called just now, saying that your father had been ill again because he was drinking while the doctor was not paying attention, but don't worry, the doctor has stabilized the condition."

Shao Yan's position can't see Shen Shuo's face, but he can feel Shen Shuo's pain and hatred without looking, because he also feels that way.

I don't know how long it took, maybe soon or maybe a while, the boy heard Shen Shuo's voice: "I see, thank you teacher. I also want to ask for leave to go back tonight."

"Okay, teacher understands." Old Xu paused, then said, "Teacher, come with you."

"No need, teacher, I can go there by myself."

"No, the teacher will take you..."

"It's really unnecessary!" Shen Shuo emphasized, "I'll just go there by myself."

Shen Shuo had always been a precocious and steady student, and Lao Xu couldn't push him too much, so he didn't insist anymore.

Shao Yan followed Shen Shuo out of the office. At this time, class was already in session, and there were not many people in the campus.Shao Yan landed two steps behind Shen Shuo, suddenly quickened his pace and ran up, saying, "I'll call you a car!"

He ran into the classroom and took out his mobile phone to call a car, and he got a quick response. Shen Shuo didn't bring anything with him, so he went out again as soon as he picked up his bag.Shao Yan followed him to the school gate, saying as he walked, "The car is almost here, let's wait at the school gate..."

Shen Shuo didn't say a word, their teaching building was a little far from the school gate, and it would take seven or eight minutes to walk. The two walked quickly, and soon saw the school gate, because the students were in class, and the stalls at the school gate were closed. Lost, this road is not the main road, even the road is quiet and no cars pass by.Shao Yan was feeling uncomfortable from the numbing silence, when a voice suddenly burst out in his ear:

"What the hell is he trying to do?!"

Shao Yan raised his head and subconsciously looked at the young man beside him. Shen Shuo's face was gloomy, and there was deep pain in his eyes. He almost gritted his teeth and said, "What exactly does he want to do?"

……

No answer, no answer.

No one could answer him.

Shen Shuo also seemed to have given up on the answer. He nodded at Shao Yan, perhaps to express his gratitude, and then walked into the taxi and left.

Shao Yan watched the yellow car disappear at the end of the road, stayed there for a while, and then turned and walked back to the classroom.

It's impossible for no one to notice the movement of the two of them. In fact, someone noticed Shen Shuo's abnormal state earlier, but Shen Shuo usually doesn't play with people very much, so no one asks.

When Shao Yan came back, Ke Jieyu twisted his position for a while, and finally pulled his cuff and asked softly, "Is Shen Shuo okay?"

Shao Yan shook his head, nodded again, and was afraid that he would not understand, so he whispered back to him: "It's okay."

He also tried his best to pretend that nothing happened, not wanting to add extra burden to Shen Shuo, but when he returned home, that false state could no longer be maintained.

Shao's mother was startled: "Baby, what's wrong with you?!" She rushed up and hugged Shao Yan, touched his head and coaxed him softly: "What's the matter, did something happen at school?"

Shao Yan was still sad in his heart, indescribably sad, whether it was Shao Yan's miserable life experience, or whether it was more sad because Shao Yan had to take care of his careless father at such a young age.

"Mom, I have a friend..." Shao Yan frowned and said, "His family members are sick, and he has to take care of him. When I look at him, I think he is working hard."

Shao's mother was startled, and said in a more gentle tone: "Is he your very good friend?"

"Yes." Shao Yan nodded: "He is my best friend at school, he takes good care of me and helps me study all the time."

Shao's mother stroked his head tenderly: "No one can replace hard work, because it is his family. However, if he has money concerns, maybe we can help him."

Shao Yan also knew about this. Although he didn't know anything about medical reimbursement, if Shen Shuo had money concerns, even if Shen Shuo didn't want it, he would definitely help him.

But Shao Yan could feel that the pain in Shen Shuo's heart was not because of money.In other words, it wasn't all because of money, money was only a small part, and there was something more painful in his heart.

......

The next day, Shen Shuo came to school as usual.

However, Shao Yan was a little abnormal.He was in high spirits, he looked full of energy from the morning reading, and at the big break at the end of the second class, he hurried to Shen Shuo and said, "Do you know what day it is today?"

Shen Shuo: "... Your birthday?"

Shao Yan had a disappointed expression like you forgot my birthday.

Shen Shuo had no choice but to guess again: "My birthday?"

Shao Yan: "..."

He said in an exaggerated tone like solving a mystery: "Today is Saturday!"

Shen Shuo asked modestly, "So?"

"So I'm going to visit your house!"

Shen Shuo: "..."

Shao Yan said enthusiastically: "This is the first time I went to a friend's house after going to a classmate's house in elementary school. What are we going to eat tonight? Can we stay overnight?"

Shen Shuo: "Did you spend the night at your classmate's house when you were in elementary school? You still stay at my house?"

Shao Yan: "I brought pajamas, but it's cold at night, so you have to lend me some clothes. Is your bed big enough?"

Shen Shuo: "Have you brought your clothes?"

The boy squinted his eyes and looked Shao Yan from head to toe, then turned his gaze to his face: "Why?"

Shao Yan looked at him with wet eyes, as if begging, and as if acting like a baby: "You must take me in, I made an agreement with my mother, she will not go back to her best friend's house tonight."

He has such a big villa, don't make it look like homeless.Shen Shuo is so perceptive, how could he not know what he was thinking.He stared coldly at the person for a while, until he saw Shao Yan's mournful expression, then nodded and said, "Yes—but, you have to be obedient."

Shao Yan nodded again and again: "Promise, I promise!"

After Shao Yan made the promise, he was still very excited. If Shen Shuo hadn't tried his best to stop him, he might have taken out all the clothes he was going to take for the night to take pictures for Shen Shuo.

Shen Shuo: "No, this behavior looks like a dirty uncle in the Japanese subway showing XXOO to female passengers."

Shao Yan: "..." Shao Yan stopped this dirty behavior.

Because there are only classes in the morning, the time flies very fast. When the bell rang for the end of get out of class, the classroom boiled instantly.

The students around were all discussing what to do in the afternoon. Shen Shuo discussed with his deskmate the last question left by the teacher. He slowly cleaned up the table. When he stood up and took out his schoolbag, he looked up and saw that he had gone to the door of most of the classrooms. The boy was carrying a bag on one shoulder, standing in the slanting sunlight and looking at him with a smile.

"..."

Shen Shuo walked over: "Let's go."

☆, guest 2

The sun at noon is excellent, warm but not dizzy, and when it falls on the ground, it has a beautiful golden color, like the color in a fairy tale.Shao Yan and Shen Shuo even took off their gloves. They rode bicycles and broke out from the congested school area to the wide city streets with few vehicles.The wind blew the open neck a bit cold, Shao Yan was stung, turned his head and asked, "What do we have for lunch?"

Shen Shuo answered him: "What do you want to eat?"

Shao Yan: "I want to eat what you cook. Can you cook? It's just that kind of home-cooked food. I like to eat home-cooked food."

Shao Yan's definition of home-cooked food is probably far from real home-cooked food. At least ordinary people's home-cooked food is not served in such an exquisite plate, and even the portion and decoration are carefully designed.

But Shen Shuo didn't know:

"I'll do a little."

Shao Yan's eyes were full of anticipation, and he restrained his enthusiasm and said, "Then I can help wash the vegetables."

Shen Shuo said before that it takes about five or ten minutes for his family to ride a bicycle to school. This should be a very long time, but to be honest, Shao Yan didn't feel the lengthy and boring way of going through a class.He followed Shen Shuo through one street after another, stopped at the red light and waited in the warm sunshine, the modern commercial buildings retreated one by one, the low shops gradually increased, and he passed through an unknown number of streets. An alley, the surrounding environment suddenly changed, as if entering a dilapidated village from a noisy and warm town.

Some of the low-rise buildings on both sides were surrounded as if they were being remodeled, and some of the outer walls were peeled off, exposing the stained cement inside.There was almost no one on the street, Shao Yan was flustered, but fortunately Shen Shuo didn't stop, and after another tens of meters, the scene suddenly became lively again.This is still not the scene of the bustling streets of the city. There are slightly old houses and shops. The tallest building is no more than three floors. There is a smell of corruption in the air, which may be related to the fish shop that we just passed.Still, at least the clutter carries a palpable popularity.

Shen Shuo stopped in front of a fruit and vegetable shop.This fruit shop should have been open for a long time, and the decoration of the store has traces of time, but it looks very humane, and it has the feeling of the old stewed vegetable shop next to Shao Yan when he went to his grandma's house in a small rural town. .

Shen Shuo did not lock the car, Shao Yan was afraid that he would not lock it if he was in a hurry.The two entered the store one after the other, and the people in the store knew Shen Shuo, looked at Shao Yan and Shen Shuo and said with a smile: "I came back so early today, I brought my classmates to play."

"Well, yes." Shen Shuo's tone was unusually well-behaved, almost the same as in school.It's only a lot different from the time when he spoke to Shao Yan.

He skillfully stuffed fruits and vegetables into plastic bags, like a seasoned househusband.Shao Yan followed him while observing him, while looking around, trying to increase his common sense of life.After Shen Shuo paid the money, he took him outside. This road is relatively narrow and there are many shops. Shen Shuo stopped riding his bike, put his bag in the front basket, and walked slowly while pushing the bike. After a while, he saw a A neighborhood in an old-fashioned residential area.

Although the community looks old, there are still security guards in the sentry box, and now they have moved a stool to sit at the door to bask in the sun, chatting with uncles and aunts who don’t know if they are residents of the community, and greeted Shen Shuo with a smile, He also smiled and said that he would bring his classmates back to play today.

Shao Yan was always very popular among the elderly uncles. He greeted the old man obediently and said "Hello, Grandpa", which made the old man very happy.The two of them entered the community unimpeded. The inside of the community was similar to what they saw outside. It was not very big. There was only a well-decorated activity venue at the entrance. It seemed that the equipment inside had not been used for a long time.A few steps away is the garbage room. The door of the garbage room is full of broken sofas, wooden furniture, and a few black garbage bags.An uncle was cleaning, and when he saw two people coming over, he said hello:

"You're back, Xiao Shen."

Shen Shuo nodded, and replied obediently: "I'm back, uncle, I will take my classmates up first."

"well."

The two continued to walk forward, and when they were almost gone, Shao Yan leaned over his head and said in a low voice:

"You know the uncle who cleans the house. You have a lot of connections." The security guards in his community could never call out his name.

Shen Shuo glanced at him, ignored him, walked downstairs, and only reminded him when he went upstairs: "The corridor is very narrow, be careful."

This corridor is really narrow. Two people passing by at the same time need to avoid it. It is very breathless to watch. Shao Yan stepped carefully, and the two of them walked up to the fifth floor. Shen Shuo stopped at a very congested corridor. At the door, the old garbage piled up there makes this place look like a garbage dump. The sacks are stacked on top of each other, and other things are layered on top of each other. An independent space that swallows everyone who enters it.

Shao Yan turned sideways carefully, watched as Shen Shuo took out the key and opened the door, he probed, and the scene in the room was unusually ordinary.

Because of Shen Shuo's usual "frugality" and because of the scene outside the door, Shao Yan is ready to face a "poor" family, but although the scene inside is not rich, it is definitely not "poor" ".

A clean and simple living room, because of the narrowness of the space, all the furnishings are clear at a glance, and because it is clear at a glance, the simple and simple room and the clean floor give people a neat and tidy feeling.There is even a warm-toned painting hanging on the left wall, dotted with floral cloth and faded stars, as if it had been carefully designed by someone.

The kitchen is on the right hand side of entering the door, and the kitchen is even smaller, barely able to accommodate two people. The seasoning is placed next to the gas stove.

"This is the bathroom." Shen Shuo pointed, and then pointed to the room to the left of the bathroom: "That's my room."

Shao Yan's eyes are shining, he wants to explore Shen Shuo's room right now!

Shao Yan waited and waited, but before Shen Shuo opened the door for him, he glanced at Shen Shuo who was messing around in the kitchen, said "I'm in" as if someone was listening, and twisted the doorknob Pushed open the door.

Shen Shuo's room can also be imagined to be simpler and more humane, simply because there is a bed, a cabinet, a table and a stool in his room. Oh, and there is a trash can on the ground.Human touch refers to Shao Yan’s original thought that according to Shen Shuo’s personality, his room should be gray and white in cool tones, and even the curtains should be plain, but he didn’t expect that the quilt on the bed was blue and white, the sheets were warm yellow, and even the pillows were blue and white. Also warm tones.

Well, only the curtains are indeed plain.

This is really an extremely monotonous bedroom, but because it is Shen Shuo's bedroom, even the monotony is extraordinary, a novelty that wants people to find out.

Without further ado, the boy's non-existent glasses flickered, and he threw himself on the only table in the room...

……

Shen Shuo walked into his room with a sliced ​​apple, and saw the boy sitting by the bed, holding a panda doll in his hands. When he saw himself coming in, he blinked his eyes and said meaningfully:

"How about it, pandas are cute, right?"

Shen Shuo walked in and put down the plate:

"Yes, it is very cute."

His simple admission made Shao Yan feel bad. He got out of bed depressed and said, "Why are you so frank? You never said I'm cute."

Shen Shuo: "It's also cute."

Shao Yan almost couldn't bring it up——

Shen Shuo: "Sometimes."

so far so good.

Shao Yan slapped himself on the chest in his head, and he still didn't admit defeat: "Then what now?"

Shen Shuo didn't answer this time, just looked at him coldly.Shao Yan felt guilty when he saw it. He picked up an apple with two fingers, chewed it and said, "It's delicious, sweet..."

"You sit here, I'll cook the noodles."

Shao Yan was told by his mother many times about being a guest last night, so he immediately said enthusiastically, "I'll help—"

Shen Shuo turned his head and looked at him coldly:

"Sit."

"..." Shao Yan sat down obediently.

It still didn't take much time to cook the noodles. Before Shao Yan finished a game, Shen Shuo came out with two bowls of noodles. Fortunately, Shao Yan played a game of breaking through the level alone. It will delay teammates, which is really a representative of a good player in the game world who doesn't cheat.

"Wow, this noodle is delicious. It's so chewy!"

Although it is just a simple noodle, there are a lot of vegetables, shredded pork and eggs inside, and it is full of ingredients.The taste is not as strong as some soup bases in the store, but it is full of onions, garlic, and sesame oil. Shao Yan also specially added chili seeds in the bowl.

It is a taste that lovers of heavy flavors like.

Shen Shuo said, "Come out and eat."

Shao Yan obediently walked out of the room, washed his hands and dried them before walking to the table.During the cooking, Shao Yan praised his craftsmanship without hesitation, and kindly expressed that he could go to wash the dishes, but Shen Shuo pressed him on the stool again.

After all this was over, Shen Shuo went back to the bedroom to change clothes:

"I'm going to the hospital." He said, "If I go in the afternoon, I won't go in the evening." He turned his head to look at Shao Yan who was showing hesitation, and saw through his plan in an instant:

"I'll go there by myself and I'll be back before dinner. I don't have a spare key. You stay at home."

"Yes." Shao Yan said obediently, "I will stay at home obediently."

Shen Shuo put on his shoes and stood up, saying: "Take advantage of the time to review carefully, the final exam is coming soon, at least you must pass all of them."

"Ah, uh... I'll do my best."

Shen Shuo glanced at him before going out.Shao Yan clearly heard the sound of the door lock. This door lock is very old and the sound is very special. It reminded Shao Yan of the scene when he went to the countryside when he was a child and the adults walked out of the room and closed the door. I feel a little lonely.

......

......

"Ah, homework and homework, if you have the time, it's better to do one more question."

The bright light came in from the window, the boy stretched and walked towards the desk next to the wall.

High school students, just do homework.

☆, guest 3

Shen Shuo did what he said. He stayed in the hospital for more than an hour. When he came back, the sun had already set and the city was faintly falling into the embrace of the night. The wind made people shiver. Old residential building.

The key turned and made a "click" sound, and there was no movement in the house, as quiet as every night when he went back alone.However, when he walked to the door of the room, the sense of loneliness that there was only one person in the world disappeared instantly.

The boy was lying on his bed with the quilt tightly covering his shoulders near his neck.He was facing the door of the room, with most of his face buried in the soft pillow, and he could only see the slender and thick eyelashes trembling slightly on his tightly closed eyes, as if he was breathing.

Perhaps the turned on light stimulated him, the young man became uneasy, his eyelids struggled a few times and then slowly opened, "looking" at the person standing at the door blankly.

After a few seconds, he rubbed his eyes and sat up.

"You're back."

"what time is it?"

Shen Shuo replied: "4:[-]."

"Ah, oh." Shao Yan sat awake for a few seconds, and suddenly his eyes widened, and he jumped out of bed and rushed to the edge of the table, shouting: "That's not the case!"

Shen Shuo: "..."

Shao Yan opened the homework book on the table with a snap, and said loudly, "I did my homework for several hours, and I went to bed when I was tired!"

"..."

I don't know whether to applaud the young man's diligence or feel sorry for his "smartness". Rao Shen Shuo felt a little sad for him, and nodded calmly, saying: "You did a good job."

The boy was instantly relieved.

"..."

"I'll cook for you." Shen Shuo put down his bag and said, turned around and was about to go to the kitchen.

It was Shao Yan who stopped him: "Wait—"

Shen Shuo turned his head, the young man behind him looked embarrassed, he hesitated to speak but had to say: "Actually, I'm not hungry yet."

"..." Shen Shuo asked, "So?"

Shao Yan showed an unbearable expression, and broke the jar and said, "I said you are a hard-working and stupid family drama heroine who has to go out to work for a hard day and cook for the non-weaned child at home?"

"Can't you take care of yourself?"

Pointing to his eye sockets, he said, "You look tired."

Shen Shuo was silent.He also took care of his father very late last night, and he has been running all day today, not even having a lunch break at noon.The hidden danger of not getting enough sleep for several days will always appear, even if it is seen by an ignorant young master.

Shao Yan said softly: "I'm not a baby who can't move without my mother's care." He thought for a while, and then said: "Besides, I'm here to take care of you. You can sleep for a while, 05:30 I Call you."

Shen Shuo stood there for a while, then walked back and sat on the side of the bed, took off his sneakers and sat in the bed, and pulled up the quilt that Shao Yan had just thrown to the side.

He closed his eyes: "Call me at 05:30."

"Okay." Shao Yan nodded heavily. He looked left and right, picked up a book from the table, and said, "Then let me read ancient Chinese to you. It is said that this thing is very hypnotic."

"..."

The effect of the ancient language is indeed very strong. Although the young man's voice is refreshing and pleasant, but with the ancient language, it is like a monk chanting scriptures. Shen Shuo fell asleep within a few minutes after his head was touched by the pillow.When Shao Yan was still there, he lowered his head to meet his firmly closed eyes, yelled in a low voice but did not reply, then carefully rolled down from the bed, and tenderly pinched the quilt behind him.

He looked at the young man who couldn't hide his exhaustion in his sleep, sighed after a long time, and said softly:

"Hey, poor boy."

......

Shen Shuo was indeed very tired, Shao Yan was hesitant to wake him up, but Shen Shuo was still a person who kept his word and kept his word, even though he didn't want to, he still woke him up at the right time.

Shen Shuo woke up very quickly, and could almost move freely after opening his eyes.

"I'll cook." Wow, it's a male mother!

This time, Shao Yan pestered him for help, and Shen Shuo was probably afraid that he would do something stupid when he was not around, so he just told him to wash the vegetables.The faucet in Shen Shuo's house is gas-fired, and hot water will come out after the water flows for a while. Shen Shuo waited until the water was hot before asking Shao Yan to reach out, and confessed: "Adjust the faucet if it's too hot."

"Hmm." The young master nodded repeatedly.

The dishes made by Shen Shuo are not complicated, because there are only two people, he only prepares stir-fried meat with green peppers, stir-fried vegetables and fried tofu, and a bowl of egg soup as a bonus at the end, but the taste is unique.Shao Yan stood at the door and watched him use the knife like a god, and only afterimages could be seen of the vegetables he was chopping.

He yelled in his heart, his fingers were so itchy that he wanted to give it a try, but after being brutally rejected, he squatted back to the door, resting his chin on one hand and watching, after a while he seemed to be trapped in his own world, and said to himself: " Is this a good wife and mother?"

Shen Shuo who heard it said in his heart: No.

After the food came out of the pot, Shao Yan naturally ate two bowls of rice with dignity, and finished the table with Shen Shuo.When he was washing the dishes, he was brutally rejected again, only to be symbolically asked by Shen Shuo to wipe the table and dump the residue into the garbage bag.

After the meal, Shen Shuo began to check and study.

Shao Yan: I am in danger!

If there is any part of the most annoying part of learning this terrible thing, it is being checked by the "teacher" on the learning results.This is the same as English dictation. It is a carnival for good students and a hell for poor students.

Shao Yan watched Shen Shuo take his recent homework and flip through it page by page, feeling his scalp tingling.

Shaoqing:

Shen Shuo: "Yes, not bad."

"Ah, huh?"

Shen Shuo looked up at him: "Don't you feel your own learning achievements?"

Shao Yan said aggrievedly, "I think I made quite a few mistakes."

"That's because the difficulty of the questions has increased. After consolidating the foundation, I have selected more difficult questions for you. You have done a good job and have learned to use formulas."

Tears streamed down Shao Yan's face instantly, feeling like fireworks exploded in his heart.

He waited for a while, and after waiting, Shen Shuo picked up another homework book and didn't hear the sound again, so he said cautiously: "Well, it's over? No but, but?"

Shen Shuo looked at him suspiciously: "What's wrong, but?"

Shao Yan: "Generally, if you praise someone, you won't be able to follow, but will you?"

He still felt aggrieved, and Shen Shuo couldn't find it funny when he heard the words.He also really laughed, looked at the boy and said:

"If you do well, I will praise you, because you are worth it. There is no but, and there is no but." After finishing speaking, he lowered his head to check the homework again.

Shao Yan opened his mouth slightly, and covered his chest with one hand clenched into a fist.

This, is this the feeling of being praised?

With the approval of the "teacher", Shao Yan became more motivated to study. He immersed himself in his studies and kept his ears to nothing outside the window. As time ticked by, a glass of water suddenly appeared in front of him:

"Drink some water."

Shao Yan was touched and said, "Well, thank you Teacher Shen!"

Shen Shuo: "..."

I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly there was a knock on the door outside.Shen Shuo went out to open the door, Shao Yan looked sideways, it was the uncle in the garbage room in the afternoon, gesticulating and talking to Shen Shuo.The voices of the two people were not soft, but they were not loud either. Shao Yan could only hear sporadically what they said about how big and heavy things were. Curious, he went out to have a look.

When the uncle saw someone popping out of it, he was startled at first, but quickly reacted, clapped his hands and said:

"Oh, your classmate hasn't left yet?"

"That's okay, it's okay if you play with your classmates..."

Shen Shuo had the same obedient expression on his face as when he was facing the teacher at school, and he said meekly: "It's okay uncle, I'll get off after changing clothes, you wait for me to get off."

"Hey, I really don't need your classmate..." The uncle looked at Shao Yan inside in embarrassment, and then at Shen Shuo with a resolute face, then nodded and closed the door.

Shen Shuo turned his head, his face returned to his usual calm, he walked into the room and said, "I'll go out and take a nap, I'll be back in about half an hour, you continue to read."

Shao Yan: "Where are you going? I'm going too."

"No." Shen Shuo directly denied.He pulled out an old-style sweater from the closet, put a coat on it, and the shoes were even more tattered. He didn't know he was wearing a commemorative pair.After putting on his shoes, he took his feet back from the stool, turned his head and said to Shao Yan, "I'll be back soon, you study hard." After speaking, he walked out of the house and closed the door behind him.

At this moment, Shao Yan seemed to be a left-behind child locked in the door by an arbitrary parent. He was depressingly pawing at the homework book with his eyes locked on the words on the top, but those words couldn't enter his mind. On the table, the pen fell in the air for a long time and couldn't get off the ground. After a long while, he finally stretched out his hand and rubbed his head vigorously, wailing:

"Ah, why did you go, come back quickly, Shen!"

……

……

It was almost an hour after Shen Shuo came back. As soon as he entered, before he reached the door of the room, a voice came from inside:

"Isn't it just for a while?" The voice was full of strong resentment.

When Shen Shuo walked into his room, the boy at the table raised his head, his complaining face changed instantly when he saw him, when Shen Shuo went out he was still wearing a coat, now his coat was hanging on his arm, and he was only wearing a jacket. A thin sweater, with fresh stains on it, gray and black here and there.The trousers were not much better. He was wearing so little, but his face was sweating, and a string of wet marks on his wet face snaked down his slender neck and sank into the collar of his jacket.

Shen Shuo stood at the door and didn't come in, said: "Give me the clothes on the bed, I'll take a shower."

Shao Yan has a sensitive nose, but even if he is not sensitive, he can smell the stench from Shen Shuo's body. He doesn't know if it is sweat or something else.He silently gave him the clothes, and Shen Shuo took them and walked to the bathroom.This time, he came out quite quickly, and it was done in about ten minutes.

Shen Shuo sat down while wiping his hair, and said, "What did you do?"

"..." Shao Yan then took out his homework book, which was so horrible that Shen Shuo hadn't touched a few words since he left.

Shen Shuo just glanced at it and said, "You're not paying attention."

"What distracted you?"

His sense of majesty as a "teacher" is too strong. Before entering the door, Shao Yan still felt that he was wronged by being thrown down, but now he lacks confidence. He didn't finish his homework in elementary school and was punished by the teacher to stand again.

He was momentarily at a loss for words: "Well, I, um..."

Shen Shuo asked bluntly: "Are you curious about what happened just now?"

Shao Yan: "Is it okay to ask this?"

Shen Shuo looked at the young man with guilty conscience and curiosity, paused with the towel in his hand, and shook his hair:

"There is nothing wrong. He asked me to help him move things. There is too much garbage today, and he can't get it alone."

"Ah, that's it?" Shao Yan subconsciously said, "What's there to hide?"

"Maybe it's because he thinks it's immoral to use money to hire a minor to work, or maybe he doesn't think he should say this in front of my classmates—"

He tilted his head reasoningly: "Afraid of embarrassing me?"

Shao Yan subconsciously wanted to deny it, but in time he remembered Shen Shuo's scruffy and embarrassed appearance when he first came back.If he is not him, Shen Shuo is not Shen Shuo, they are just ordinary classmates, maybe he will look down on him because he sees his classmates cleaning up the garbage for a little money, maybe Shen Shuo will also be embarrassed because his classmates see him, Shame on the poor side.

Because Shen Shuo has always been honest and undisguised in front of him, even after hearing this, he didn't have any special thoughts.But maybe in the eyes of others, it is shameful to bow your head to do things that others are unwilling to do because of poverty.

Just like at the very beginning, he often felt embarrassed because of the wealth gap between himself and Shen Shuo.The embarrassment is because he feels that being poor is a very shameful thing, and showing off his wealth in front of Shen Shuo hurts Shen Shuo's self-esteem.

He couldn't even deny that until now, he felt that mentioning money and poverty was hurting Shen Shuo.

"..." The young man was silent for a moment, and asked softly, "When did you... start earning money?"

Shen Shuo recalled: "It was probably half a year after my mother passed away. He was too addicted to pain and couldn't bear the responsibilities of an adult. For this reason, I can only support myself."

The sad story in his mouth is as common as a newly opened flower shop on the street:

"It shouldn't be a problem until high school, but it will be a bit difficult when you go to university. You can apply for bursaries for university tuition fees, but the cost of living alone is a bit high, so you must start preparing now." He seemed to have thought of something, and his tone changed After a pause, he said, "Your tuition fee has really helped me a lot."

After he finished speaking calmly, he looked at Shao Yan, as if waiting for his question.Shao Yan swallowed his saliva. In the past 16 years of his happy life, he has never considered going to college and having to bear the tuition fees and living expenses by himself. This incident is beyond the scope of his thinking.He barely managed to choke out a sentence:

"If it's a university, can you live on campus?"

"No—" Shen Shuo shook his head: "After entering university, I want to live my own life."

Shao Yan seemed to be touched by this sentence, but before he could sort out the context, Shen Shuo flicked the book with a "snap", drawing the young man's attention back:

"Has your curiosity been satisfied? Start studying again, don't try to be lazy."

All the thoughts in Shao Yan's mind were blown away:

"Ah you, you...お前は鬼か (Are you a devil?)"

Shen Shuo: "I can understand simple Japanese."

Shao Yan: I shut up.

☆, end

Shen Shuo originally wanted to tidy up the next room and go to sleep by himself, but his alcoholic dad's room was stinky, not only the smell of the piled wine bottles and the quilt, but even the air had an indescribable smell.Shen Shuo tidied up for a while but still couldn't get rid of the smell. Seeing that he was about to lose his temper, Shao Yan hurriedly stopped him:
