inherent gravity

head, but the strangeness in my heart became more intense when I saw the Spring Festival couplets pasted on the door.

Usually, there are four seasons of peace posted on the door of the house, but this year it is replaced by Caiyuanbangjin out of nowhere?

Mu Qing stared at the door in bewilderment for a long time, feeling that something was wrong, rummaged in the bag for a long time before finding the house key that had been silent for two years, and when he slowly poked it into the keyhole, his hand even Some trembling.

Not right.

"What's the matter?" Kou Xiao frowned and looked at Mu Qing's face that turned ugly after twisting the key a few times, "Change the lock?"

"Well, it can't be opened." Mu Qing fiddled with it for a while before giving up, and the fingertips holding the key gradually became cold:

Why change the locks?Don't want to see yourself back?

"It's okay, maybe the lock is broken." Kou Xiao knocked on the door with one hand carrying the New Year's goods: "I will see your mother later..."

Before he finished speaking, the door was suddenly pulled open aggressively: "What are you doing!"

The two were stunned at the same time.

The person who opened the door was a big shirtless man, his face was reddened by the abundant heating in the room, and he looked fierce: "Who are you looking for?"

Mu Qing stared at the big man, swallowed for a long time and glanced into the room: "I'm looking for...Chen Xiaolan."

"That family moved long ago! Now I live alone in this house." The big man said impatiently.

"Moved?" Kou Xiao's face darkened, and he quickly locked the door, "When did you move?"

"I rented this house, how do I know?" The big man looked at them suspiciously, especially when he noticed the key in Mu Qing's hand, his eyes immediately became a little fierce: "Where did you get the key in your hand? Pry the door?"

"No." Mu Qing's face turned pale: "Chen Xiaolan is my mother, I'll come back to see her."

"Your mother?" The big man glanced at him up and down, and sneered: "You don't even know your mother has moved? You kid is lying!"

"Let's go." Kou Xiao said in a low voice, and then nodded apologetically to the man: "Sorry to bother you."

"Walk, walk, it's really bad luck during the Chinese New Year." The big man didn't bother to tangle with them any more, and slammed the door behind him.

"Moved..." Mu Qing stood there and muttered to himself, "They moved..."

"Xiaoqing." Kou Xiao hugged him and patted him vigorously: "It's too cold in the building, let's go back to the hotel first."

"Why?" Mu Qing looked up at him, tears were already on his fair face: "Why didn't they tell me when they moved?"

Kou Xiao was also stunned by this sudden incident and was speechless, so he could only put Mu Qing into the elevator with a half hug and half hug, and only reacted belatedly when he saw the numbers jumping down little by little. What, without caring about the anger, he just blurted out: "Where did your mother get the money for the down payment for buying a new house?"

Although housing prices in such a small town in the seventh and eighth tiers are not high, it is still a bit difficult for an ordinary family to buy a new house without selling the old one, especially for people like Mu Qing.

"Isn't your mother laid off? Where did the money come from?" Kou Xiao couldn't help raising his voice, "How much did you give her before?"

"Stop it!" Mu Qing shouted suddenly, his eyes turned red: "You lied to me...all of you lied to me!"

What a joke.

Mu Qing closed his eyes in pain, he thought of those days when he spent a penny in half, and those days when he was struggling to study in a strange city.

When he couldn't pay the rent, when he was so poor that he could only eat two meals a day, when he couldn't even afford a new pair of non-slip shoes.Where is Kou Xiao?Where is the person who can help him?

When he was working in Heitan, he almost let go of all his dignity, just to earn a few thousand dollars more that month.

Oh yes, and that scar on the wrist.

Mu Qing couldn't help but smiled wryly, he thought of those nights when the disinfectant was everywhere, and Huang Kang sneaked in when he was helpless.If all these were not for money, why would he risk his life?

Until now, when he returned to the door that would no longer be opened for him, holding the wrong key in his hand, Mu Qing was finally woken up from those chaotic days by a stick. It made him both sober and ridiculous.

Of the countless reasons for asking him for money in the past, he no longer knows which is true and which is false.In other words, it was a scam from beginning to end, and now that he was exhausted after using it, he could be thrown away at will.

The reason why he was not allowed to go home was that the home he remembered was long gone.

"Xiaoqing, calm down."

In the chaos, a pair of hands held his shoulders, so strong that it almost hurt him: "You still have me, I will never lie to you!"

Seeing Mu Qing's sudden collapse, Kou Xiao's heart ached a little, but he was more at a loss: "Don't be afraid, let's..."

"I don't have anything anymore--" Mu Qing hugged his neck fiercely, closed his eyes and began to cry. The crying sound was more confused and cathartic, venting the things that should belong to him but never again. The youth that can't go back.

The elevator door opened suddenly, and an old woman who was still standing at the door was really startled by the scene inside. She stared at the two people hugging each other and dared not come in for a long time: "You are..."

"Sorry, wait for the next shift." Kou Xiao quickly turned to block Mu Qing, and quickly pressed the button for closing the door and the first floor. The moment the door closed, he felt the wetness on his neck, and Mu Qing was in his arms. A slight trembling frequency.

At the moment he has a lump in his throat.

The two sat in the underheated hall for a long time, Mu Qing was still in a dazed state, he couldn't even listen to Kou Xiao's words, his fingertips were cold.

"Eat something warm first?" Kou Xiao said softly, "It's not good to just sit here."

Mu Qing shook his head, his eyes were numb, but at this moment the phone in his pocket vibrated untimely.

"I'll answer it for you." Kou Xiao was the first to take out the phone from his pocket, and when he saw the caller ID, his long-overdue anger was finally ignited, and he pressed the answer button and let out a cold hello.

"Hello? Qingqing--" A middle-aged woman's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a very dissatisfied tone.

"Didn't I tell you to take good care of your brother? Why do you hang around with dubious people all day long and bully him?"

Before Kou Xiao could speak, there was already a barrage of bombardments over there: "You said that you ran so far to study, but you didn't learn anything, but you are a bad learner! I see what you will do when you enter the society like this. manage!"

"He still has me, so don't worry about it, Auntie." Kou Xiao said coldly.

There was a pause on the other end of the phone, and then the woman screamed: "Who are you!"

"I am," Kou Xiao and Mu Qing glanced at each other, and the corners of their eyes slightly raised: "Your son's boyfriend, and, I'm not a dubious person."

"Boyfriend?" The person on the other side obviously choked, and his voice choked a little: "Give him the phone...Give the phone to Mu Qing!"

"No, just tell me." Kou Xiao held Mu Qing's cold hand: "By the way, you can explain to us that you bought a house with his money."

Hearing the word "buy a house", there was no sound from there.

"Hello, Mom." Mu Qing took the phone with one hand, and his tone was so calm that it didn't look like he had just cried.

"Qingqing..." The mother's tone became murmured, and she didn't pull out a complete word for a long time: "You are back... are you back?"

"Well, I only found out that you have moved when I came back." Mu Qing pressed his eye sockets hard as he spoke, and pressed back the rising sadness: "You have saved the money for buying a house for a long time, right?"

"Yes... yes." My mother wiped the sweat from her forehead, and suddenly changed the subject: "Let's not talk about this first, explain to me what happened to that person just now? Are you really here?" Falling in love with a man?"

Hearing the stern tone and the panic hidden in it, Mu Qing suddenly wanted to laugh.

Thinking about it, he really laughed, and wiped the tears from his eyes by the way:

"Yes! I'm dating a man!"

Kou Xiao couldn't help being stunned when he yelled out this voice, fearing that Mu Qing's emotions would lose control again, he hurriedly tried to answer the call, but he pushed him away.

"Mu Qing!" The person on the other end of the phone reacted and went crazy before him, and his voice was eight degrees higher: "Why are you so disgusting!"

"Yes, I'm disgusting, I just like men." Mu Qing said.

"I've raised you for so many years! Is that why you treat me like this?" Mom almost burst into tears, but Mu Qing couldn't tell how much sincerity was in the crying.

"Mom, I'm really tired." Mu Qing said slowly, "Do you still remember? Before you told me that you were hospitalized with a tumor, and I gave you 2 yuan... That thing is also fake, right?"

"How long have you lied to me?"

How much Mu Qing wished that the person on the other end of the phone whom he had called his mother for so many years could sincerely apologize to him at this moment, even if it was just pretending to be guilty.

But no.

"What's wrong with lying to you? You eat my food and drink mine, and the little money you get is not enough to pay the interest!" The person on the other end of the phone said viciously.

"Okay." Mu Qing closed his eyes, and the last ray of hope in his eyes disappeared: "After that, I will
