abandoned cat

Lu Huaiting had a dream related to the past.

The thoughts of young people are like the snowflakes in winter, bright and gorgeous, but also daunting.

"Tingting, go buy a bottle of soy sauce for mom!"

The sweltering air was accompanied by the humming of cicadas. Lu Huaiting, wearing slippers, took out three one-dollar banknotes from the drawer, responded and ran out the door.

Their home was far away from the supermarket in the town, and it took about 10 minutes to walk. Lu Huaiting trotted all the way wearing slippers, and tripped over a stone halfway.

Holding the money tightly in the palm of his hand, he sniffed and got up, seeing the broken skin on his knee and bleeding, he touched it depressingly.

Next to it is a cement pipe factory. The yard of the factory is full of cement pipes half a person's height, and a group of children are huddled in the cement pipes and rolling around.

Lu Huaiting looked at them eagerly, and recognized that the group of children were the ones who often bullied him at school, so he turned around and ran away.

My knee hurts, I can't run fast, and I'm recognized.

"Isn't this a little villain? Why did you run away after seeing us—"

"My mother told me yesterday, don't play with you, your father is a rapist, and you will not be a good thing!"

"Yes, yes, last week he sued me with the teacher! Bad guy!"

Lu Huaiting tightly held the money in his hand, and continued walking without saying a word.

Someone was chasing him, but he didn't dare to look back. His father was a villain, and he knew it.

But he's no little villain.

The chirping sound is more annoying than the cicadas. Why did my mother ask me to come out to buy soy sauce? Why did she give me such a father?

Lu Huaiting thought bitterly.

Those people chased after him, and even pulled his clothes, asking him to play games with them, one of Lu Huaiting's slippers was pulled down.

He looked at a group of people and couldn't help saying: "Since your mother won't let me play with you, then don't come near me!"

On weekdays, he swallowed his anger and seldom resisted, and was always bullied. When he resisted for a while, he aroused thousands of waves, and punched and kicked his body without any seriousness, but Lu Huaiting felt that the broken knee was the most painful.

I was so painful that I shed tears.

"It's almost done, are you still playing?" A voice came from nowhere and rushed into Lu Huaiting's ears, and he slightly loosened his hand covering his head.

The owner of the voice came closer, "What does his father have to do with him? Did you sue you last week because you didn't finish your homework?"

"I...he's wrong anyway! He doesn't fit in!"

"What kind of group do you want to get into with you? How much did you score in the midterm exam? And talk to people about getting into a group."

"...Yu Chen, what's wrong with you?! What's my name!"

"You don't care what's wrong with me. I won't play with you anymore. It's meaningless." Yu Chen looked at Lu Huaiting who was lying on the ground, and felt extremely boring. What kind of broken cement pipes? Rolling around like a big watermelon.

He scolded everyone away, and after waiting for 2 minutes, Lu Huaiting was still lying there, thinking that this person is not stupid, right?

Looking down, the big watery eyes were looking at him, and he said very piously: "You are a good person."

Yu Chen laughed out loud, "Then who are you?"

Lu Huaiting got up slowly, crying with hazy eyes, "I'm also a good person."

"Hahaha." Yu Chen was so teased by him that he couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand to pull him up and stood up, and then said: "Yes, you are a good person, no matter what others say, bullies are not good people."

Lu Huaiting nodded, "Yes."

Yu Chen glanced at him, "The next time someone hits you, you have to fight back. What are you doing lying on the ground, using it as a carpet?"

Lu Huaiting lowered his head and patted the ashes on his body, and said in a low voice, "My mother won't let me fight with others."

"Why do I feel that I see you all the time?" Yu Chen didn't continue the topic, seeing what the other party was clutching tightly in his disheveled face, he took the other party's hand and walked towards the side of the road.

Lu Huaiting just raised his head to look at him, saw a pair of crooked peach blossom eyes, and a cut on this man's forehead who didn't know where.

"My house is not far from your house. I often pass by your house when I go to school." He said in a muffled voice, and couldn't help but glance at the hole again. His hand was still being held by Yu Chen. After thinking for a while, he went to the town to the supermarket.

Yu Chen thought about it carefully after hearing what he said, and felt familiar without thinking about it.

"Okay, then come to me if someone bullies you. They're just a bunch of cowards. If it doesn't work, I'll ask my dad to fire them all."

"..." Lu Huaiting narrowed his pupils and looked at him in horror.

Yu Chen rubbed his limp hair with a smile, "What were you thinking when you lay on the ground just now?"

Lu Huaiting pursed his lips, the two of them walked to the door of the supermarket, and he said, "My mother asked me to buy soy sauce, so I went in first."

Yu Chen nodded, "I'm fine, I'll wait for you here."

Lu Huaiting ran in quickly, first went to buy a band-aid, and soy sauce, the shopkeeper came back with [-] cents in change, he walked to the door and folded back, and took a [-] cents sugar popsicle from the freezer.

When he came out, he handed the popsicle to Yu Chen, who looked at the popsicle in surprise, "Can you eat this too?"

Lu Huaiting hesitated to speak, wanted to give him a blind eye but didn't dare, so he could only tear off the band-aid and said, "Low your head, I'll put a band-aid on you."

Yu Chen lowered his head, not forgetting to tear off the popsicle package, "Hey, what's your name?"

Lu Huaiting blinked, "My name is Lu Huaiting."

"My name is Yu Chen." Yu Chen took a sip of the popsicle and said after a while: "What are you thinking while lying on the ground?"

"..."

"Lu Huaiting?"

"...I didn't think about anything."

"What did you think?"

"I want to be useful."

Yu Chen handed over the popsicle, "I'll give you a bite."

"..."

"I'll play with you in the future."

"Um."

"Then trick you into selling it."

"..." Bad stuff!

The hotel's curtains are silver-gray, and the sunlight can't penetrate, only a small ray can barely leak through the low-hanging gap.

Lu Huaiting turned around in a daze, thinking that he bought the wrong brand of soy sauce, and was scolded by his mother when he came home.

Yu Chen was half-sitting on the bed, the negotiation with the manufacturer yesterday went smoothly, everyone chatted at the wine table in the evening, Lu Huaiting accompanied a lot of wine, but he drank less - someone always whispered about his stomach.

That small ray of sunlight fell on Lu Huaiting's slippers, this man brought his own slippers on a business trip, and brought him a pair, both black and white, as if he was in a relationship.

After looking at Lu Huaiting's white slippers for a while, there was a cute little fish icon on it, Yu Chen lowered his gaze, listening to the muttering dream of the person beside him.

Half an hour later, Lu Huaiting woke up from the dream with a start, it turned out that his mother asked him to buy x days, not x plus.

He broke out in a cold sweat, not understanding why he dreamed of such a strange past, his ear was gently pinched by a hand.

"What nightmare did you have?" Yu Chen's voice was low and hoarse, probably because of the early morning.

Lu Huaiting raised his hand to cover his face, shook his head, "It's not a nightmare either."

"What kind of dream is that, why are you still covering your face?" Yu Chen said with a smile.

Lu Huaiting really can't say that he dreamed that he bought the wrong soy sauce and was cut off by his own mother.

He coughed twice, cleared his throat and said, "I dreamed that you rescued me when I was a child."

Yu Chen was surprised, "I'll save you?"

Lu Huaiting was stunned for half a second when he heard the words, and soon he was relieved. It's normal for Yu Chen not to remember this. After all, this person has been abroad all year round.

Thinking of this, his heart softened again.

This person is obviously not familiar with him enough, but he is willing to start over with him.

He stretched out his hand to hug Yu Chen's arm into his bosom, squeezed his palm lightly, and said in a low voice: "Yes, you scolded those who bullied me away for me, and even asked my name."

Yu Chen was tickled by his docile appearance, turned his face slightly and kissed the tip of his ear, "I seem to have some impression."

Lu Huaiting lowered his eyes and said with a smile, "It doesn't matter."

Yu Chen was silent for a while. He couldn't explain why Lu Huaiting's gentle appearance made him feel astringent. He didn't think there was anything wrong with forgetting some unimportant things. He just caught a glimpse of the disappointment in the corner of Lu Huaiting's eyes, but he still couldn't help it. She leaned over and kissed him.

"Then you tell me and I will remember." He couldn't help but tell Lu Huaiting like this.

Sure enough, the man showed a happy expression like a kitten eating fish, and the end of his eyes became bright with happiness.

Yu Chen patted his head, "It's almost over, the front desk gave me two hot spring coupons yesterday, do you want to go around to play around today?"

Lu Huaiting nodded quickly, "I'm about to book tickets online."

Yu Chen patted his head, "Okay, let's get up and have breakfast."

"I haven't brushed my teeth yet." Lu Huaiting wrinkled his nose, got up and got out of bed, put the black slippers for Yu Chen, and went to the bathroom with the slippers.

Yu Chen saw that he was running to the bathroom with only a pair of underpants on, and reached out to grab him, "Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

Lu Huaiting seemed to have just realized that he was not wearing pants, and his ears were slightly red. He glanced at Yu Chen's half-smile eyes, and shyly grabbed the trousers on the chair and put them on.

"The air conditioner is actually quite warm." He wanted to save himself, and muttered suddenly.

In exchange, Yu Chen chuckled, "I know you didn't do it on purpose, so there's no need to explain."

Lu Huaiting blushed a lot, and didn't understand why he was so stupid. He was a little embarrassed to stand there and put on his pants. Looking at Yu Chen's face, he thought again, what's wrong with being seen by him, I took advantage of it.

Thinking of this, he relieved his shyness a little, and walked to the bathroom again.

Yu Chen was so cute that he couldn't control his expression, so he endured it and raised his hand to pinch between his brows to stabilize his expression.

The black fish slippers were placed in the center of the sun.

Yu Chen sat on the side of the bed and looked back, Lu Huaiting was twisting a towel in the bathroom, the redness at the base of his ears hadn't subsided, and it had spread to his neck.

Yu Chen subconsciously twirled his fingers, as if he was twiddling Lu Huaiting's ears on the bed last night.
