sunny as rain

Nearly twelve o'clock in the morning, Ye Shiyu walked into the community along the crooked dark red hexagonal bricks.

I haven't been back to this dilapidated and dirty neighborhood for four years, and the green trash bin downstairs is still there.

It may be because of the rain that has just rained, but the sewers on the side of the street emit a foul smell of sewage.The hexagonal bricks on the floor are not evenly laid, and if you walk too fast, the sewage in the cracks between the bricks will overflow and splash on your trouser legs.

When I lived here, I didn't think it smelled bad, but now it smells unbearable. The smell of rotting garbage is particularly pungent on rainy days, and there is also a damp and foul smell of earth in the air.

It turns out that people really change. How happy I was living here before, how depressed I am now.

The small restaurant on the corner was gone, and it was changed into Fuxingyan Hotel.

Ye Shiyu remembered that the tomato beef brisket made by that restaurant was good and cheap, but unfortunately he could no longer eat it.

The smell in the corridor has also changed.

Ye Shiyu felt in a trance as if he had broken into a strange world, full of strange smells everywhere.Obviously he has lived here for more than three years, but he failed to leave a little bit of his own taste and trace.

that's true.

This community has a history of at least 70 years, and generations of people have lived here.He was just one of the tenants who had been in office for a relatively short period of time, and he was not a great figure.

According to Ye Rufeng, in the past two years, in order to dominate the list of "civilized cities" all year round, the hexagonal brick paving in the community has been dismantled, demolished, and remodeled in different ways. It looks brand new, but the quality is getting worse and worse.

Ye Shiyu took out the key from his pocket while going upstairs, and inserted the key into the lock hole very skillfully.The lock hadn't been touched in years and creaked several times before it opened.

Ye Shiyu pushed open the door and walked into the living room. As soon as he stepped over the threshold, he was choked by the accumulated dust inside and coughed a few times.

He covered his mouth and nose with his sleeve, walked in lightly, touched the switch on the wall accurately, and turned on the light with a snap.

The lights on the ceiling flickered a few times, as if someone was frantically pressing the shutter, and finally stopped.

The light was bright, but not dazzling. He remembered that the light used to be cool white, but now it turned beige.

Just like when I left, nothing has changed here.

The people who live here are gone, and the house has no hands or feet. Naturally, I don’t dress myself up, and it’s normal that there are no changes.

I am used to seeing the new house I live in now, but looking at the old house now, I feel that the ceiling is so low that it is suffocating, and the walls are also distorted and deformed, as if it could collapse anytime and anywhere.

Maybe it's because I've grown taller.

The double bed in the bedroom was covered with a white cloth, pale and swollen like someone who had been ill for a long time.

The top of the white cloth is faintly yellow, maybe because of being too tired, maybe because of being too sad, even this double bed commemorates this stolen love.

Ye Shiyu uncovered the white cloth, revealing the clean gray sheets inside, on which there should have been two people hugging tightly, their toes would be gently folded together to keep each other warm.

But now things have changed.

When the two of them were together, they never felt how cold the house was, but now it was chilly.

Ye Shiyu couldn't help touching his palm with his fingers, and then walked to the door of the kitchen. He always felt that a person could suddenly emerge from there, stuck out half of his head, and said with a smile: "Xiao Yu, your favorite tomato beef brisket Alright, let's have a try."

It must be because of cooking all year round, Ye Shiyu felt that the temperature in the kitchen was higher than that in the bedroom.

After a while he was sweating, so hot that he wanted to cry.

When Jing Tao got engaged to an outsider, and the overwhelming Internet news came out, his self-esteem was severely pricked, like being stripped naked and hanging on a city tower for public display. He would rather be beheaded than I don't want to suffer this humiliation secretly.

It's a pity that the wish of wishing to disappear immediately did not come true.

Even if he keeps his ears shut, he can recall the content of the news wherever he goes. The more he tries to forget, the clearer his memory becomes. He is really afraid that he will accidentally do something.

No matter where he went, everyone seemed so happy, even he and the old houses around him didn't seem to have any emotional changes, as if he was the only one who was sad.

But soon, he let the pain caused by the departure of his surroundings be overshadowed by life.

College life is full and unusual, but he still doesn't have much in-depth contact with his classmates.

After so many years, his friends are Yue Ju, Zhu Fen and Ye Rufeng.

In the early stage, he was quite annoyed by Zhu Fen and Ye Rufeng, they always ran to his house, pretending to be with him, but he felt that these two people needed company more.

Ye Shiyu wanted to smoke, but the two refused.

Ye Shiyu wanted to drink, but the two refused.

In short, both of them disagreed with all the behaviors that were out of line, and Ye Shiyu couldn't hold back them.

But it's really interesting for the three of them to be together, chatting, laughing, and playing around, four years have passed.

Ye Shiyu still remembered the excitement of Zhu Fen and Ye Rufeng on the day of his dissertation defense, as if there was a feeling that there was a young girl in my family.

Well, there is a man in my family.

Ye Shiyu couldn't take it anymore.

On the day of the graduation ceremony, Zhu Fen and Ye Rufeng had so much fun that they almost hugged each other and cried bitterly.

Ye Shiyu thought they were lamenting that four years had passed, but in fact the only reason Zhu Fen and Ye Rufeng wanted to hug each other and cry was that this little boy was really too difficult to raise.Let's talk about helping Ye Shiyu block the peach blossoms, the two of them are very annoying, but Ye Shiyu seems to be deliberately angry with them, and the peach blossoms are everywhere.

Ye Shiyu kept walking forward, without stopping a step, without looking back, pretending to be deaf and dumb and accepting the fact that the surroundings left.

What if you don't accept it?He can only accept.

Every morning after I left, it looked exactly the same as before, no difference.

Only Ye Shiyu knew that every morning became different, and even made him hate it.

He began to fear facing every tomorrow, every tomorrow without surroundings.

The pain came continuously. Almost every day, walking in different corners of Anlan University, the news about the engagement of Jing Tao and her boyfriend who was outside the Zhou surname circle would pass through every whispered discussion, every mobile phone news push, and every There was a voice on the phone.

If it weren't for this, Ye Shiyu had always thought that Jing Tao was an out-of-date actor with a [-]-line innocence, but it doesn't seem to be the case.

Otherwise, the people around her would be endlessly talking about her and her amateur fiance.

For a long time, Ye Shiyu didn't quite understand that Jing Tao was Su Yisheng's lover, why did he suddenly get engaged?And the betrothed is still surnamed Zhou.

Four years ago, the only people around who escaped from Ye Shiyu and knew Jing Tao again.

Did he escape from him just to go to Jingtao?

How did they meet?When did you meet?

But from the behavior of leaving without leaving a word around, Ye Shiyu understood that he couldn't wait to escape from here and devote himself to a new life.

In the past, he would ponder "Does my surroundings love me?" Until he was exhausted, Ye Shiyu only believed in what was in front of him.

If he leaves, let him leave.Just like when Jiang Yahui left her back then, it's no big deal, it will pass.

Even if time can't erase the scars, so what?Who doesn't have a few scars?

When the scar is healed, just don’t forget the pain, it’s okay to leave some marks, it will be cooler.

Ye Shiyu carefully walked around the house again, locked the door, returned along the original road, and carefully put away the keys in his pocket.

He felt guilty for continuing to rent the house.

After all, I live in Zhu Fen's house for free now. Although I don't have to worry about tuition fees with a full scholarship, the living expenses are all paid into the card by Zhu Fen on a monthly basis, saying that they are left by my surroundings.But Ye Shiyu didn't want to continue to use the money around him, and the living expenses were all the compensation for the relocation of the house that Ye Rufeng gave him.

He always felt that he owed Ye Rufeng and Zhu Fen, so he wanted to work quickly so that he could pay off the rent he owed Zhu Fen for so many years, and then return the relocation funds used over the years to Jiang Yahui intact. , even if it is the last love between mother and child.

In fact, he gave it once four years ago, but Jiang Yahui didn't want it, so she let it go.

But Ye Shiyu has been thinking about this matter, he will definitely not keep this money.

In the past four years, the relationship between him and Jiang Yahui has not eased in the slightest.

Ye Shiyu just did what a son should do, and went to visit her occasionally to buy something.He wanted to leave the relocation money to Jiang Yahui, but she didn't want it.

Not only that, every time he hesitated to say something, but when the words came to his mouth, looking into Ye Shiyu's eyes, he couldn't say anything.

After Jiang Yahui resigned from the self-service barbecue restaurant, she found a job as a community cleaner, which cost less than 2000 yuan a month. The advantage is that the working environment is relaxed, and she can take the elevator up and down the stairs to clean.

Ye Shiyu saw that Jiang Yahui's legs were not so awkward anymore, but felt that her previous job was too tiring, and now she was much more relaxed, and her legs would naturally heal, but she was still worried and wanted to take her to the hospital.

Every time it was mentioned to go to the hospital, Jiang Yahui refused to go to the hospital desperately, with a flustered look on her face, Ye Shiyu didn't force her anymore, and Ye Rufeng also objected to going to the hospital for no reason.

Everyone is weird.

After all, the current relationship between their mother and son is somewhat estranged, Ye Shiyu still has to respect Jiang Yahui's decision, and stop persuading her if she can't be persuaded.

Ye Shiyu interviewed several companies, thinking that he would be busy after going to work, and planned to send Jiang Yahui to Dongshan, rent a house for her in the village, or simply give Jiang Yafen some money every month for the two sisters to live in. At the same time, you can also have a talking partner every day, and it is also possible for two sisters to work together to do some small business in the market.

Ye Shiyu told Ye Rufeng about this, and Ye Rufeng felt that this method was feasible, and Jiang Yahui readily agreed.

Ye Shiyu planned to do this before going to work.

The thought of going to Jiang Yahui again gave him a headache again.

Time is terrible, quietly changed a lot of people
