soul seeker

20 is old.

In front of the shelves in the supermarket, Laojiu and Ziwang are picking things.

Suddenly, the old man's cell phone rang, "Wait for me."

He walked to a vacant place and picked up the phone.On the other end of the phone was his mother crying.

"What's the matter, mom? Did you quarrel with your uncle when you just got married?" The playful expression immediately became very dignified after hearing the following words.

After hanging up the phone, he walked back slowly, and put his hand on Ziwang's shoulder with some hesitation, "Let's pack up and book the earliest ticket to go back."

Ziwang looked back at him suspiciously, but his answer made his whole body lose strength in an instant, and all the things in his hands fell to the ground.

in the hallway of the hospital.

The sobbing elderly mother was supported by a middle-aged man, and she reluctantly explained: "She was already unconscious when she was found. Not long after she was sent here, the doctor told her family to come to see her for the last time. I didn't expect it to be... "

The old man looked at the trembling child kneeling beside the bed and crying with his mother in the ward, wondering why that guy was always so pitiful.

He went in and helped Ziwang sit on the chair, didn't say anything, just stood by and looked at him.

In the small living room, the man was flipping through the newspaper while chatting with the woman who was busy in the kitchen without saying a word.

"The relationship between the two of them is really good. They have been with him for a week."

"That's it," the woman in the kitchen put the food into the thermos bucket and buckled it up. "They played with each other when they were seven or eight years old. I won't talk to you anymore." She took the thermos bucket and changed her shoes at the door. They send food, these two people must eat instant noodles every day when they are together."

The woman climbed a flight of stairs and muttered, "Well, it's still the same here."

Just about to ring the doorbell, she looked at her watch, "... so early," she took out a spare key from her pocket, "Forget it, don't wake them up."

Entering the living room, I looked at the half-closed bedroom door and guessed that they were still sleeping, so I wanted to take a look.

Just approaching the door, I heard my son's complaint: "Ah, I've been fighting all night and I still haven't passed the test! I'm with you!"

Ziwang on the side put down the game controller, rubbed between his eyebrows, "You are really full of energy. But," he lowered his head and laughed, "Thank you for being with me all the time."

After hearing this, the old man leaned up and kissed him on the cheek, and whispered "You're welcome" into his ear, Zi Wang blushed and looked at the floor without pushing him away.

The woman outside the door covered her mouth with trembling hands to suppress her surprise. After she calmed down a bit, she picked up the thermos bottle on the table and left quietly.

In the university dormitory, Ziwang sat at the desk flipping through the materials for the upcoming exam.

"Ziwang." A familiar voice came from behind.

Ziwang turned around in surprise, "Auntie? Why are you here? Are you looking for the old man? He has gone to class."

While talking, he walked over and prepared to let her in with her bag.

"No need." She turned her shoulders back, "I didn't come to look for him. Come out, I have something to tell you."

The woman's frowning and unfamiliar attitude gave Zi Wang, who was still stretching out his hand in embarrassment, a very bad feeling.

On the boulevard, they walked one after the other.The avenues in winter are not green at all, and there are still unmelted dirty snow on both sides.

The bus was slowly coming at the end of the road ahead. When the woman saw the bus, she stopped suddenly. Without turning her head, she took a deep breath and said, "Get out. Get away from my son, don't stay by his side to do that kind of thing again." Disgusting thing. Don't let me say it a second time, then I won't know what I'm going to do." After she finished speaking, she got on the stopped bus.

Only the squatting and crying boy was left on the boulevard.
