just in time

When Yi Chenliang came out of the office, he saw Yun Fang waiting for him at the door.

"Song Lili is gone." Yun Fang said to him, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"

Yi Chenliang smiled, but the smile didn't reach his eyes.

"Not going back to the classroom yet." Yun Fang reached out and snorted through his hair.

"Skipping class?" Yi Chenliang grabbed his hand and squeezed it, "Don't you like studying?"

"Ah." Yun Fang smiled, "Coaxing your boyfriend is more important."

The roof on the sixth floor of the teaching building has been locked all the time, no one will come up on weekdays, but there are still a few beer cans on the ground, which are blown around by the cold wind. It hasn't melted yet, and there is a layer of dust piled up in the corner.

Yi Chenliang kicked the wet cigarette butts scattered around his feet, walked to the railing beside the roof, looked down, his legs were a little weak, and took advantage of being pulled in by Yun Fang.

"Fear of heights." Yun Fang laughed at him.

"Then are you still afraid of heights?" Yi Chenliang was a little curious.

Yunfang found a raised platform in the middle and sat on it, stretched out his hand and pulled Yi Chenliang up, although the wind was cold, but the sun was very good, and it wasn't too cold wearing a coat.

"I still get scared when I stand on a high place, and my calf trembles." Yun Fang kicked Yi Chenliang's calf, "Once I stood on the edge of the sixteenth floor, my whole body was numb and I couldn't move at all. .”

"What are you doing standing on the sixteenth floor?" Yi Chenliang stretched out his leg to hook his ankle, but Yun Fang cunningly dodged it, so he persisted in hooking him.

"I don't remember clearly, but I remember the feeling of fear very clearly." Seeing that he didn't give up, Yun Fang deliberately let him hook his ankle with water, and looked up at the sky.

The sky is high and cloudy, and the sky is clear.

The cold wind made his hair rise slightly, Yun Fang put his hands on the table, and there was a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, "I still remember the first time I saw Song Lili."

At that time, Yi Chenliang was only five or six years old. He hid in the corner and did not dare to come out, but he couldn't help being curious. He poked his head out to see the two strange adults standing in the room.

Song Lili's appearance is a bit dull, and she doesn't look easy to get along with. Her long hair is tied behind her head, and she wears a butterfly-shaped hairpin. She is wearing a checkered cloth jacket, navy blue pants, and black cloth shoes that were very popular in the village at that time. Bai Sock squatted on the ground and opened his arms to him, with a very gentle smile on his face:

"Liangliang, come to Mommy."

Yi Chenliang doesn't have his own mother, but he has seen other people's mothers, and in his dreams, he wants his mother to pick him up and go home. He has always believed that he was just accidentally left at the gate of the orphanage by his mother.

At that moment, Song Lili seemed to be shining in the little Yi Chenliang's eyes.

She must be a fairy from heaven, sent to be his mother.

He clenched his fists nervously, walked out step by step timidly, walked up to Song Lili, and was embraced by Song Lili.

That embrace was soft and warm, exactly like the mother in his dream.

Song Lili hugged him happily, "Liangliang is so good!"

Yi Zhizhi had been standing beside them quietly all the time. At that time, he was tall and silent, but he still tried his best to squeeze out a simple and honest smile, and patiently played with Yi Chenliang with a small wooden toy.

"Liangliang, I'm Dad."

Yi Mingzhi let him ride on his neck, and Song Lili next to him stretched out her hand to support him. On the way back to the village, they passed a photo studio, and they went in to take a family portrait.

He was held in Song Lili's arms, holding Yi Mingzhi's generous palm in his small hands, and pursed his lips nervously facing the camera.

"Smile, kid, look at how happy your parents are smiling." The person who took the picture shouted to him.

It belongs to his parents.

At that moment, he felt that the whole world became clearer, and grinned at the camera.

He thought, I must be the luckiest kid in the world.

Click.

Time is frozen.

The family photo was taken home, framed, and hung on the wall. Not long after, it was smashed in a quarrel and picked up quietly. The photo gradually faded and turned yellow with the passage of time. The three people in it His smile remained unchanged, and he was finally locked in an iron box, never to be lifted again.

Yun Fang said: "I know you remember too."

Yi Chenliang lowered his eyes, "I don't know why things turned out like this, it was so good at the beginning."

It's just that the good was too short-lived, as if someone was acting on the occasion and gave him an illusory dream, and after the illusion dissipated, there was only a mess on the ground.

"Some things can't be forced." Yun Fang looked at him tenderly, looking at himself who was confused and sad many years ago, and said slowly: "If you can't ask for it, forget it."

Yi Chenliang smiled, raised his head and looked at him, "Am I pretty cheap, they have treated me like this, I still feel sad."

"It's not your fault." Yun Fang reached out and patted his head, "Even if I am now, I will feel sad when I see them again."

Yi Chenliang looked at him in astonishment.

"I still can't help but think of Song Lili feeding me porridge when I have a fever, and Yi Mingming tucking me in when I kick the quilt..." Yun Fang laughed at himself, "Even if they often beat me and don't let me go to school, Even wanted to sell me."

"I hated them and hated them at first, but after 20 years I've almost forgotten about them, I still feel a little sad to see them again," Yun Fang said.

If they were purely bad, then Yi Chenliang would be so frank and frank with hatred that he wouldn't feel the slightest bit even if it was a clean break.

However, where there are pure bad people or pure good people in the world, people are always mixed with good and bad, and good and evil are intertwined, and they will change beyond recognition inadvertently, sometimes even they themselves do not realize this change.

They could have become a harmonious family, but they gradually drifted away, and finally became bored with each other.

Yi Chenliang looked at the blue sky, leaned to the side, and leaned against Yun Fang.

He couldn't express what he felt in his heart, he habitually suppressed himself, and Yun Fang helped him to express it.

The authorities are obsessed with the onlookers, stay out of the matter, it is always easy for people to judge good and evil, but when they are in it, they will find that those likes and dislikes, those good and bad that fall on them, are not so easy to call. A catty counts as two.

He has already made up his mind to make a clean break, and he doesn't need other people's comfort. His sadness and embarrassment are not humane, and he doesn't bother to do so.

But when there is someone in the world who can empathize with him, Yi Chenliang suddenly feels that these messy things are nothing.

"That cloud is pretty nice."
