weird

Although Zhuang Yan moved out, his father was worried that he would not be able to live alone, so he specially sent his aunt to take care of his daily life and other matters.Solemn and not hypocritical, did not refuse.

The aunt's surname is Zhang, who grew up watching Zhuang Yan. On the surface, she came to take care of him, but in fact she was Zhuang Xianrui's "eyeliner" to supervise him.So every time he gets along with Aunt Zhang, he will deliberately put on a sad face, with a look of excessive sadness, washing his face with tears all day long.

Aunt Zhang couldn't stand it, and comfort was useless. Seeing the young master's pale face, who didn't think about food and drink, she felt very distressed, "Yan Yan, eat something, you have been crying for a few days. , eyes are swollen."

Yan Yan rubbed his nose and said sullenly, "Auntie, I don't want to go abroad, I just want to stay here."

The boy's complexion was fair, and when he cried, there were faint pink marks around his eye circles, making him look very pitiful.

Naturally, these words entered Zhuang Xianrui's ears that day, and for almost a week after that, Aunt Zhang carried this sentence in her report.

Zhuang Xianrui knew very well that Zhuang Yan was playing tricks, but he was really distressed if he couldn't stand it.Almost a month passed like this, and the high school in Shanghai was on summer vacation, but Zhuang Yan found all kinds of excuses to refuse to go home.Zhuang Xianrui was so angry that he simply ignored him.

Shanghai No. [-] Middle School is a key city-level school. The third year of high school starts early. Seeing that the holiday is coming to an end, Zhuang Xianrui is still stubborn. He is determined to send him away. Zhuang Yan is so annoying that he has a big argument with his father on the phone There was one.

Just when the father and son were angry, Zhuang Yuan came back suddenly. The father and daughter had dinner together and chatted a little bit.

At the end of the show, Zhuang Yuan suddenly brought up the matter of her younger brother going abroad, and the two exchanged a few words about it. Zhuang Yuan's words both inside and out disagreed with Zhuang Yan going abroad. Zhuang Xianrui didn't like it, but he didn't refute it. I kept a bottom in my heart.

Seeing that her father's tone had softened, Zhuang Yuan wrote Chu Chen a letter.After returning to Zhucheng, she still insisted on her point of view, and called Zhuang Xianrui every few days. She didn't say much, and just mentioned it casually.

Zhuang Xianrui was still stubborn, until he called again to urge Zhuang Yan to prepare to go abroad, Zhuang Yan returned home that night, stopped crying, and after a few days like a walking dead, he said yes with a pale face.

It was easy to finish speaking, Zhuang Xianrui didn't feel relaxed, because after finishing speaking, Zhuang Yan rushed back to the bedroom with red eyes and cried all night.

Even Special Assistant Xu couldn't see it, so it was rare for him to be bold enough to persuade him: "Actually, the learning environment in China is quite good, but I don't know the place of life abroad, and I'm lonely, and it's sad to go there."

The aunt at home followed suit.

Zhuang Yuan also called more and more frequently, "Dad, Yan Yan has grown up, I think you can try to let him go and let him choose his own path. You can't judge the life he wants for him too subjectively. .”

"What is the life he wants? How old is he, what can he understand?" Zhuang Xianrui said dissatisfied.

"At least, I think he's fine now. He's just dating and hasn't broken the law. Dad, we don't want to discriminate." Zhuang Yuan said, "And I think that brother named Chu is very handsome. Although it’s rare, he’s quite smart, and he won the first prize in three subject competitions a few days ago, the certificate I awarded him.”

Zhuang Xianrui: "..."

That night Zhuang Xianrui sat alone in the middle of the sofa in the living room, the notification that the phone was hung up was still in his ears, he frowned, and for the first time reflected on whether he was really too arbitrary.

With the efforts of all parties, Zhuang Yan finally stayed in the country. The reason Zhuang Xianrui gave was, "Look at your rolling eyes, and you hate me so much? Did you really send you out? Are you willing to call me?"

Majestic with swollen red eyes the size of walnuts, watching the nose and the heart, did not admit it, but did not deny it either.It made Zhuang Xianrui very depressed, and everyone sang against him, as if he was a heinous villain, and everything he did was to harm people.

It was only then that Zhuang Yan called him "Dad" with sincerity.

With just such a word, not only did Zhuang Yan's eyes turn red again, but he suddenly couldn't cry anymore. He didn't know how many times he actually cried and pretended to cry in the past few months, as if he wanted to shed all the tears in his life.

Zhuang Xianrui hadn't seen him cry like this for many years, and he suddenly realized at this moment.

The majesty is gone, his face has faded from the baby fat of his childhood, and has become exquisite and sharp. He is no longer as innocent and carefree as he was when he was a child. His joy and sorrow are no longer limited to relatives and friends. With my own little secret, I also have people and things I care about more.

Although clumsy and childish, he is trying to guard everything carefully in his own way.

……

Without going abroad, the solemn mood finally brightened, and he devoted all his energy to studying.He has been using the notebook that Chu Chen gave him, and the number of times he reads it is second only to the number of times he touches his phone.

He used this as a medium of missing, and poured all his original love and enthusiasm for Chu Chen into this notebook.

Ever since Zhuang Xianrui discovered that there were countless photos of Chu Chen hidden in his mobile phone, he changed him to a new mobile phone involuntarily.

There is nothing in the new phone, even the chat history he used to renew his life is empty, no matter how much he refreshes, he can’t find the slightest trace, just like the current state of him and Chu Chen, it is blank, and any step taken, the result is unknown.

Due to Zhuang Xianrui's pressure, Zhou Dize and Cai Yinggang did not mention Chu Chen's recent situation to him.So far, he has completely lost any news about Chu Chen.

This is actually ridiculous.Obviously, he was Chu Chen's closest person in the past. He used to be able to touch every inch of Chu Chen's skin with ease, and he once told Chu Chen his likes and loves as he wished, but now, he doesn't even care about whether the other party is doing well or not. have no idea.

He suddenly realized that he and Chu Chen were like two parallel people in a vast sea of ​​people. As long as one of them no longer deliberately creates encounters, it is only natural to lose the point of intersection.

Zhuang Yan was uneasy about this for a few days, and soon bowed his head helplessly to the status quo.After the resentment passed, he cheered up and devoted himself to the tense learning atmosphere. Shanghai No. [-] Middle School was divided into Classes A and B until the third year of senior high school. Most of the students in key middle schools were smart people. Even though he tried his best, he was not enough to attend the key class. Tail, the ranking is also terrible, but the total score is much higher than that in the nineteenth high school.

He would still send messages to Chu Chen, but the other party never replied. At first, he was so angry that he blamed Chu Chen for being too cruel, and worried that the other party had forgotten him. Bei did not fall once.

It's just a little less unscrupulous and a little more cautious.

Until one day later, he found out that Chu Chen actually posted a circle of friends, with only two words in the text - reward.

The content is a selfie in the mirror!

In the photo, Chu Chen looked lazy, facing the camera with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

Zhuang Yan's heart was beating wildly, before he had time to take a closer look, he quickly saved the photo, then imported it into the computer, and prepared a photo on the tablet.

The series of operations took only a dozen seconds, but he was so anxious that his back was sweating, and his hands were shaking so much that he almost couldn't hold the phone steadily.

Since then, Zhuang Yan has been obsessed with refreshing his circle of friends, and he has new expectations in his heart. This is currently the only way for him to continue his life.

The second time Chu Chen posted a news was another month later, the second monthly exam for No. 40 Middle School ended, and the solemn grade ranking jumped by more than [-], and the total score had reached nearly [-].

During the evening self-study period, when the whole grade was in the liberal arts class and suddenly fell to the top of the grade, he was the only one secretly in the corner, ecstatic about Chu Chen's new news that he had just brushed up.

And this time Chu Chen's copy also only had two words - reward.

With solemn fingers covering these two words, a certain absurd possibility popped into his mind, making him suddenly enlightened.

Sure enough, not long after the results of the third monthly exam came out, Chu Chen posted another Moments, with the same two words in the copy, but more pictures than the previous two. Photo of big golden retriever pointing to the camera.

Probably because he wanted to confirm his conjecture, and the anticipation was lingering with a little bit of excitement. If he had the help of God in this monthly exam, he made more than 70 advances at once, and made great progress. Even Zhuang Xianrui It is rare to praise him a few words.

And this circle of friends proves that Chu Chen's "reward" is for him. He will report the results to the other party every time he finishes the exam, and Chu Chen will give this "reward" according to his progress.

Saved the photos one by one, solemnly raised his forehead, never thought that he would envy a dog in his lifetime!He couldn't hold back the smirk at the corner of his mouth. While he cast aside Chu Chen's narcissism, he would secretly get angry and look forward to the next exam.

He has never loved reading and taking exams as much as he does now.At the same time, he stared at his mobile phone every day and drew a calendar.

Late autumn is fleeting, and Tang Hao, who is about to be released from prison, comes with the cold winter wind.He didn't know if Chu Chen would pick it up, he didn't want to, he was always jealous of Tang Hao for no reason.

In mid-November, when the calendar reached the last number, he couldn't help asking Hou Yu to inquire about the situation. He vaguely remembered that the other party had a good relationship with Tang Hao's sister.

The communication between him and Hou Yu is not as frequent as before. He doesn't play games now, and the two sides often chat for a few words before the topic is over, and then they get awkward. The tacit understanding between the two of them through the game seems to have disappeared without a trace. Yue, this time Zhuang Yan casually picked up a topic, Hou Yu returned after 5 minutes, the content is also very simple, just three words.

【Brother Monkey】: He didn't go.

Who he refers to here, there is no need to specifically explain.Zhuang Yan was not feeling very well, he felt that Chu Chen must be feeling more uncomfortable than him.

This is very strange, he didn't like that Chu Chen and that surnamed Tang intersected again, but when he knew that Chu Chen really didn't go to pick him up, he felt a little distressed.

Why didn't Chu Chen go?Ashamed to go?Fear?Is he still feeling guilty?

At that time, Chu Chen was busy preparing for the science competition. This competition was nationwide, and the top three had a bonus of 8000 yuan.The day Tang Hao was released from prison happened to be the day of the competition. He went to the Seventeenth Middle School to take the exam, but instead of picking Tang Hao up, he asked Bian Liang to bring a gift for him.

As for the meeting, to be honest, he doesn't have the courage for the time being.There are too many things lying in between, not only the little bit of guilt, but also Tang Hao's stained future, there are still many things he needs to bear.

Fortunately, I was not affected by this incident during the exam, and I performed well.Chu Chen came home on foot, Xia Tian obediently took out his slippers, he put them on slowly, and brushed his hands on the phone slowly.

His circle of friends was swiped solemnly, and the screen was filled with frosty moonlight, starry sky and the Milky Way.

The accompanying copywriting is all the same sentence: I will catch you, don't be afraid of the light.

……

Everything was barren, and the world was once dark. It is not terrible to be born in the mud. Even if you get stuck in the swamp or fall into the dust, you will experience heavy rain, mountains and rivers. Love you.
