Sitting across from Sheng Ci, the parents twitched a little from trying to hold back their ever-widening smiles, which Sheng Ci found ugly and harsh.

Father couldn't bear it first.He patted his knee and said with a smile: "You are also an adult and you are going to be independent. After I divorce your mother, can you take care of yourself?"

Sheng Ci said "I don't want it" in his heart, but he nodded and said "yes".

My father nodded in satisfaction, praised Sheng Ci "sensible" without hesitation, and finally said with Sheng Ci as if giving alms: "I bought a house in District H, if you want to live in it, you can go, I will Ask someone to clean a room and come out."

Sheng Ci looked at his strange father and nodded numbly.

His mother probably got tired of taking care of him all these years.After the father went out with the car keys, the mother held Sheng Ci's hand and said sincerely: "Sheng Ci, your uncle doesn't agree with me taking you there, so can you..."

"Yes." Sheng Ci interrupted her and said, "I won't bother you."

That night, sitting alone in the house that was about to be sold by his father at a reduced price, with the hot wind blowing through the balcony, he tried the taste of wine for the first time.

Then, because of a bad stomach, I vomited in the toilet for a long time.

He thought about it in a daze, and felt that what really hurt him was not his parents' divorce, but that he hadn't been really cared about.

His father did not include him in the ranks of "family members". He thought that he was more like an unwelcome guest in his father's prospective new family.

And the mother didn't want him, didn't want to see him again, felt that he was a drag in her happy life, and still used others as a shield, as if to say "Look, it's not that I don't want you".

Later, when he went to university, his father would only pay tuition fees and a little living expenses in his card, and always reminded him to be "independent and mature". He could hear his father's meaning, that is, "don't come to my house".

The father had a new son that year.

My mother has not been in touch for a long, long time.

"Great words."

"Great words."

In a trance, someone was calling his name, and the voice came from beside him.Sheng Ci raised his head and found that the teachers were still chatting, and Ming Xu got closer to him.

There was an extra tissue on the bleeding finger.

He rubbed the tissue in the palm of his hand, and soon there was another tissue in his hand, Ming Xu said to him, "Wipe it."

"Thank you." Sheng Ci said, "No serious problem."

After he finished speaking, he moved his butt towards Mr. Huo. Mr. Huo asked him "what's the matter", and he smiled and said "it's okay".

Ming Xu paused in his thoughts, but what he cared about was the reddish corners of Sheng Ci's eyes.Sheng Ci seems to be crying, but he has never seen Sheng Ci cry.

He was suddenly at a loss.

It was lunch time, and the teachers said goodbye and left.Sheng Ci thought it would be inconvenient to invite Mr. Huo to dinner at this time, thinking that he would come to talk to Mr. Huo tomorrow.

But Huo Lao blocked his way.

"Go to my house for dinner. Your teacher's wife has cooked up new delicacies today." Mr. Huo's house is next to the school. He glanced at Ming Xu and asked, "Would you like to go to the show where your teacher's wife is praised?"

Mingxu looked at Sheng Ci, and said after a while: "Okay."

Sheng Ci felt embarrassed.Mr. Huo has already said that he is going to "support the party", if he doesn't go, next time the teacher will appoint him again.But he doesn't want to be with Mingxu, he hasn't forgotten what Mingxu said "it's confirmed".

He felt that if he stayed with Mingxu any longer, he might be so jealous that he would show his sour and ugly face.

But Mr. Huo didn't give Sheng Ci a chance to escape, he put his left hand on Sheng Ci's shoulder.On the left hand side of Shengci is Mingxu.

He was caught in the middle.

The teacher's wife was wearing an apron and holding a spatula in her hand. When her daughter yelled "Dad is back", she quickly ran to the balcony, pointed the spatula at Mr. Huo who was walking slowly, and shouted: " Smelly old man, don't come back and forget it!"

Huo Lao smiled and said to Ming Xu: "Look, she's angry again."

As soon as the door opened, Mr. Huo's 15-year-old daughter rushed over to hug Mr. Huo and said, "Dad, I'm 10 minutes late today."

"Where does it stop!" The teacher's wife brought out the dishes from the kitchen, wiped off her apron, and said, "Twelve minutes!"

Huo Lao's daughter is familiar with Sheng Ci and Ming Xu, she respectfully calls Ming Xu an "idol", and Sheng Ci is a "handsome guy".

"Oh~" she sighed, "It's so handsome."

And silently shouted in my heart: really good match.

The teacher's wife grabbed Mr. Huo's ear and gave him a lesson, who kept shouting "Madam, please forgive me".

The student duo got used to the teacher's wife's personality, calmly called "Mrs. Hello", and went to wash their hands one after another to prepare for dinner.

"Eat quickly." The teacher's wife saw the two students, she had a smile on her face, and then she glanced at Mr. Huo who was putting duck legs into the bowl, and said, "That's for the cubs!"

Huo Ling picked up the duck leg from Huo Lao's bowl, stuck out her tongue, and said, "It's my mother's partiality, it's none of my business."

In the end, the two duck legs of the roast duck were given to the two youngest children in the house, Sheng Ci and Huo Ling.

Sheng Ci has a bad stomach, and he prefers to eat soft and glutinous rice.The rice at the teacher's wife's house was hard, so he struggled to eat, and his stomach felt uncomfortable.But he didn't like to eat, he ate less, and only ate the bowl that his wife served.

After the meal, Mr. Huo went to the kitchen to wash the dishes.Sheng Ci wanted to help, but his wife refused, so he had to sit side by side with Ming Xu in the living room.

After a while, the teacher's wife wrapped the scarf and was about to send her daughter to school to digest food.

Only Shengci and Mingxu remained in the living room.

Sheng Ci didn't bring his mobile phone with him. In order to hide his nervousness, he could only stare blankly at a certain void in front of him.

After staring at it for an unknown amount of time, he suddenly thought, why did Mr. Huo take so long to wash a few dishes?

Ming Xu leaned on the back of the sofa, her long legs stretched out in a regular manner.He swiped his phone, as if he was explaining something to his secretary.

After a while, he turned off the phone screen, and stopped Sheng Ci before he was about to flee to the kitchen.

He said "Sheng Ci", just a few millimeters away from the sofa, Sheng Ci's buttocks stopped in place stiffly.

"Didn't you receive my text message?" Ming Xu asked.

Sheng Ci was stunned, said "no", and explained: "I didn't bring my mobile phone."

Ming Xu said "hmm".Half a minute later, he asked Sheng Ci again: "When are you going to get something?"

In Mingxu's calm and steady tone, this is just a question.But maybe it was because the listener intended it, or maybe the experience in the morning made Sheng Ci too unpleasant, and the sourness like vinegar permeated Sheng Ci's chest, soaking his heart that was already vulnerable to a single blow.

He thought that perhaps it was because Ming Xu had a new partner that he was in a hurry to ask him to pack all his things away.

"Are you in that hurry?" Sheng Ci turned his head to look at Ming Xu, then lowered his eyebrows and lowered his voice: "Or, do my things take up a lot of space?"

Ming Xu wanted to say "no", but Sheng Ci stood up first, and continued to speak in a quicker tone, "I'll find a time to get it."

He rushed to the kitchen and yelled "Mr. Huo, I'm leaving first", stretched his clothes again, put aside the agitated emotions just now, and said to Mingxu indifferently: "If I didn't go, please see Just throw it away."

When Huo Lao heard the sound, he only saw the back of Sheng Ci leaving in a hurry, and Ming Xu sitting on the sofa staring at the door in despair.

"Leaving?" Mr. Huo held a half-gnawed apple in his hand and asked, "Have you reconciled yet?"

Ming Xu pursed her lips and shook her head.

"It's okay, it will be fine in a few days." Mr. Huo took a bite of the apple, and comforted him in a vague tone: "When your teacher's wife and I were young, we also had troubles every three days."

But Ming Xu didn't agree with Mr. Huo this time, he said "it's hard to get over", and then said "it's not awkward".

It's not being awkward, Sheng Ci's eyes were red twice today, Sheng Ci is really unhappy.

He felt that Shengci was like a little hedgehog curling itself up.In the past, he showed him the softest belly unsuspectingly, but now he exposed the piercing thorns to protect himself from getting hurt, and secretly hid his sadness.
