Ten minutes later, He Yinghan carried Xiao Yuan's washbasin to the next door, and met Xu Yue on a narrow road.

Xu Yue held the quilt in her arms and asked He Yinghan to pass by first.He Yinghan glanced at him and said, "I forgot to tell you, you don't need to move. Since Xiao Yuan wants to live with you, I have no objection to moving there."

"Yinghan, I...don't be angry."

"Why should I be angry?" He Yinghan retorted, turned and left.

In the middle of the night, the moonlight shines on the ground like water.Both Xu Yue and Xiao Yuan forgot to draw the curtains, the moonlight hit the window edge, leaving afterimages on the floor.The cigarette case and lighter were placed on the table, Xu Yue got up softly.

"Not asleep yet?" Xiao Yuan turned over and asked.

Xu Yue played with the lighter and said, "I can't sleep."

"Staying up late will cause hair loss."

"..."

Mars flickered in the darkness, the balcony was halfway open, and the figure illuminated by the cold white moonlight seemed a bit desolate.Xiao Yuan had already woken up from sleep, and at first sight there was a person on the balcony, so he instantly woke up.

"Who are you trying to scare to death by sticking there?" Xiao Yuan said while putting on his clothes, "Let's stare at another place, we don't have much value here."

Xu Yue seemed to smile and said, "Sorry to bother you." "I'll be leaving in a few days." He continued.

This time Chang Xiaoyuan was surprised, and asked him if he came after He Yinghan, how could he just leave?

Xu Yue: "He doesn't trust me and won't say anything."

Xiao Yuan moved a chair, and Xu Yue sat on the railing facing him, watching the shadows falling on the ground.Maybe it was because the person opposite was irrelevant, Xu Yue suddenly felt the desire to confide in her.He glanced at the empty cigarette case, silently put it back in his pocket, and said, "My mother entrusted me to him before leaving, and asked him to take good care of me."

"It's funny, isn't it? He Yinghan and I are not related, my mother didn't even know our relationship at that time." Xu Yue laughed, "Why is she?"

"Ms. Xiaohan agreed?" Xiaoyuan asked.

"En." Xu Yue said in a deep voice.

"Then why..." Xiaoyuan wanted to ask why he left you alone, but when he got to the point of speaking, he realized that he had no position and it was not appropriate to say these things.Xu Yue understood what Xiao Yuan meant, and followed his words: "Then why has he disappeared for so many years?"

"I asked him at my mother's grave once." Xu Yue felt a tickle in her throat, coughed twice, and said, "He didn't answer. I just suddenly realized: this is a kind of kidnapping for him, he is unwilling."

Xiao Yuan couldn't find words to comfort him for a while, he just told him not to think too much, and he had to ask himself about many things before he knew.

"Whether it's my mature appearance now or my childish appearance in the past, I've tried to show it." Xu Yue's vocal cords were covered with icy scum, and said hoarsely, "He doesn't want to."

To him, I was the cage that trapped him, and my mother was the lock.

Early the next morning, Xu Yue went out to fetch water with a kettle in hand.The boiler only has two hot water faucets. Xu Yue had just put the hot water bottle away when He Yinghan came over.There was a gurgling sound in the water bottle, and when the cork was closed, the hot air sprayed He Yinghan's face all over, and water droplets hung on his eyelashes.

Xu Yue caught a glimpse of him long ago and said good morning.He Yinghan also said, "Morning."

Before turning around, Xu Yue thought of something and said, "Teacher, I bought a ticket for the seventh day of junior high school. I will trouble you these days."

He Yinghan turned his head when he heard the words, and subconsciously frowned. When he blinked, the water droplets accumulated on the eyelashes flowed down the eyelids, giving the illusion of a beautiful woman crying.He lowered his head and wiped it off with the back of his hand, and inadvertently saw Xu Yue's fingers trembling.

"Okay, I got it. Come and find me. I have something to tell you." After speaking, He Yinghan looked at Xu Yue's hand again and said, "The hot water bottle is too heavy?"

Xu Yue didn't know, so, "What?"

He Yinghan didn't answer.The two walked side by side, and when they walked through the student dormitory, they saw that the students were all up, and some of them were basking in the sun.He Yinghan walked over with heavy steps, squatted in front of them, and asked softly, "What do you want for breakfast?"

"Mr. Xiaohan! I want fried dough sticks!"

"steamed stuffed bun!"

“Scallion Pancakes…”

He Yinghan patted the head of one of them, thought for a while and said, "I can only choose one. Is soybean milk and fried dough sticks good? I got up late today."

"Okay!" Several students agreed in unison.

Through the corridor, to the classroom dormitory.Xiao Yuan has already got up, seeing them coming, and just about to talk, He Yinghan spoke first: "How did you sleep last night?"

Xiao Yuan stared at the two big dark circles, "I didn't sleep well, I snored." He didn't fall asleep after returning from the balcony last night.

"If I haven't slept well, I still have to make breakfast with me. I can't do it alone." He Yinghan put away the hot water bottle and talked in his dormitory.The two dormitories are separated by a wall, and the voice passing through is very clear.

"That's needless to say?" When He Yinghan came out, Xiao Yuan was already waiting for him at the door.

He glanced at Xiao Yuan's side, and Xu Yue was indeed there.Eyes meet, touch and close.Xu Yue said humbly and peacefully, "Teacher, I will help you too."

He Yinghan's gaze lingered on Xu Yue's face. He found that something seemed to have changed overnight. Xu Yue neither had the naive flattery of the previous few days, nor did he have the mature flattery.Finally, there was an adult look in his peaceful demeanor.

But He Yinghan was not happy, Xu Yue's peace concealed indifference.

In a blink of an eye, it was the sixth day of the lunar new year, and the rain did not abate.The small road to the town was soaked in mud by the rain, and the main road was deep in water, so the trucks transporting sand had to stop working temporarily.

Buses leaving town were also affected.Xu Yue decided to go back, but couldn't buy a ticket for a long time.And He Yinghan relied on the principal's relationship to get the bus ticket.But it's not for Xu Yue, but for herself.

On the morning of the seventh day, He Yinghan bid farewell to He Shuiyuan on the phone.He Shuiyuan persuaded him: "The older generation said that if you don't go out, you won't go back, Xiaohan, you can leave in two days, and wait for the rain to stop." He Yinghan hesitated uncommonly.However his grandma disappeared and he had to go back.

In the past, He Yinghan always left alone, but this time, Xu Yue sent him off.The path the two walked in wellies was splashed with mud.

Walking on the asphalt road, the footsteps gradually faded.Like a cicada neighing suddenly, an invisible silence spread.One didn't say why he left in such a hurry, and the other didn't ask.Xu Yue has not asked He Yinghan why he was so ruthless back then without leaving any trace.

The two avoided each other tacitly. If the tacit taboo is broken, neither of them can pretend that nothing happened.

They know that only by not explaining or asking, can the balance on the surface be maintained.

He Yinghan walked obliquely in front of Xu Yue, his fair side face was reflected in Xu Yue's misty eyes.

Xu Yue turned her eyes away from He Yinghan and waited for him one meter away from the ticket window.

"ID card." The ticket seller stretched out his hand stiffly when the ticket was picked up manually.

After receiving the bus ticket, half of one foot had already stepped on the steps of the bus. He Yinghan turned his head and explained in a rare way: "My grandma's condition is not very good. I must hurry back today." Xu Yue said "um" and gave him the ticket.

"Goodbye." Xu Yue waved goodbye to He Yinghan.He Yinghan raised his hand lightly and quickly lowered it, saying, "Goodbye."

When the bus started, He Yinghan looked at the ticket, and there was a return to Yunzhou.At this time, he was a little thankful that the weather was bad and there were few people going out.

The rain basically stopped when we went out, but now it started dripping again.The road was bumpy, but after passing the town boundary, it became smooth.Feeling tired, He Yinghan felt drowsy.

The seat next to him was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old boy, and the suitcase under the car was stuffed under the seat if it couldn't fit.A pair of long legs curled up there, leaning towards He Yinghan unconsciously.

The two were almost shoulder to shoulder, but they never touched each other. He Yinghan kept a distance intentionally or unintentionally.Sensitively, the boy glanced at him.There was a gap in the car window, and the wind and rain took the opportunity to sneak in and wet He Yinghan's hair.He seemed unconscious, his face was facing out of the window, and his vision was filled by the barren hills beside the road.

At this moment, the bus behind was overtaking, and the driver swore to avoid it, and all the passengers leaned to the other side due to inertia.

The car behind quickly disappeared.The road is getting narrower and narrower, and the vehicle is sandwiched between the mountain walls, moving forward slowly.He Yinghan's attention was always outside the window. There was a bend in front of him. He asked in a low voice, "Is there a cliff in front?"

"Yes."
