Chapter 8 Evening Star

A few days after New Year's Day, it was Shen Hewei's grandfather, Shen Zhaoling's birthday.

He is 83 years old, he celebrates his birthday every year, and his family attaches great importance to it. The only pity is that Shen Hewei, the pillars of the family, had to go on a business trip and couldn't make it back.

This time the scene was not big, only Lu Zerong's family was invited, and there were no other cousins ​​of the Lu family.

Lu Zerong's wife doesn't go out, let alone attend such occasions.He brought Lu Xi with him, as well as generous congratulatory gifts, and was arranged next to Shen Zhaoling, giving him a lot of face.

Lu Zerong himself has been in the business field all his life. He can't say that he is not successful, but he can also speak beautiful words, so the whole scene is very harmonious.

No one mentioned the bloody fight between his two sons in the Lu family not long ago.

Lu Xi sat at another table with other juniors.

Shen Hewei was away, and Lu Wanxing, as the host, had to take care of her everywhere. When chopsticks were picked up, there was only this table with vacant seats.

Lu Xi changed seats with an elementary school student and landed next to Lu Wanxing, and said to Lu Wanxing, "Is it okay if you bleed so much?"

Lu Wanxing had just removed the gauze the day before, but luckily the wound was on his forehead, so there was no need to shave his hair.

And with the forehead hair blocking it, people who don't know now can't see it at all.

Lu Wanxing said, "I'm still taking anti-inflammatory drugs."

Lu Xi was suffocated by a bland sentence, gritted his teeth and said in a low voice: "Who cares if you take medicine or not? I regret it, why didn't I smash you to death!"

Lu Wanxing began to lean forward to distribute yogurt to the people on the table without saying a word.

Lu Xi squeezed the yogurt in her hand, and after sticking the straw in, she squeezed it and let out an "oops".

The yogurt was sprayed all over Lu Wanxing's shirt, Lu Wanxing turned around, and Lu Xi smiled: "Didn't you hear me?"

Seeing that someone noticed this at the beginning, Lu Wanxing sat down and wiped it with a napkin.

He happened to be wearing a white crew-neck sweater, which wasn't too obvious unless you looked carefully.

Lu Xi said, "Do you know that Shen and Wei crashed into two of my cars just because you were a fool?"

Lu Zerong also specifically said that he would not be allowed to look for trouble again, meaning to fix it by himself.

It doesn't matter if it's money or not, how can Lu Xi swallow this breath, but Lu Zerong dotes on him, and once he becomes serious, he won't insist on confrontation.

Lu Wanxing didn't know it at first, but after listening to him, he could probably figure out what was going on.

"If you don't hit me with a bowl, nothing will happen."

Lu Xi sneered: "Ha, Lu Wanxing, you are really awesome. If you don't teach you a lesson after a while, you will forget what you are."

Before Lu Wanxing, Lu Xi understood the "deep enmity" and "unreciprocal hatred" between the two of them.

In my memory, it seemed that it was the last time we met. The two of them were still holding hands when they were separated, with tears in their eyes. The next time, Lu Wanxing followed Ding Fanhui to Lu's house, and brought the piggy bank he got in the kindergarten as promised. Playing with Lu Xi, Lu Xi pushed him to the ground and smashed the piggy bank.

From that day on, Lu Xi forbade him to call him brother again, and everything in the Lu family began to become a nightmare for him.

Lu Xi tore up his vacation homework, threw away his schoolbag, and did all the tricks behind the adults' backs.

On the day Lu Wanxing refused to steal Lu Zerong's cigarettes for Lu Xi and his playmates, he was tricked into the attic and locked up.

Ding Fanhui looked for him for a long time, Lu Wanxing heard Ding Fanhui calling him in the dark attic.

From the normal to the frightened crying, he didn't respond, and waited until Lu Xiken opened the door and let him go out through the back door.

The meeting with Lu Zerong only once a month has made Ding Fanhui, whose glands are active in his prime, always in a state of overwhelmed self-care. The meeting between Lu Wanxing and Lu Xi is unavoidable.

He will not let Ding Fanhui find out that he is not doing well in the Lu family.

That day, Lu Wanxing, who appeared at the door in the twilight, was slapped hard by Lu Zerong.

In fact, in the first few years, Ding Fanhui really thought that he and Lu Xi got along very well.

I thought they were still the same as when they were two or three years old, children who would not understand the entanglement between adults.

Every time, when leaving the Lu family, the mother and son will be in a good mood.

Ding Fanhui bought a sundae for himself and Lu Wanxing as usual, and walked slowly along the alleys in the eastern suburbs of Haicheng.

One day, Lu Wanxing asked Ding Fanhui: "Mom, why is my brother's name two characters and my name three characters?"

Ding Fanhui said: "Mom's name is also three characters, Wan Xing is the same as mother."

Lu Wanxing loves his mother very much, but he didn't think of it himself. After hearing this, he was very happy and shook Ding Fanhui's hand and said, "Wanxing looks like mom, has a name like mom, everything is the same as mom!"

They passed the bus stop, and there was an advertisement for a holographic game on the electronic screen.

Ding Fanhui hugged Lu Wanxing and showed him the image of a girl on it: "This was drawn by my mother before, does it look good?"

Lu Wanxing's hands were about to turn red, and she praised her mother for being amazing.

Ding Fanhui said: "Evening stars have to study hard, and they will be as good as their mother when they grow up. You don't do your homework for the holidays, and you stay up late the night before school to make up. Mom knows, but she didn't want to criticize you at the time, do you understand? ?”

Lu Wanxing apologized for his mistakes. He didn't do his vacation homework, lost his schoolbag, and scratched the leather shoes that Ding Fanhui had just bought for him. Ding Fanhui was broken.

As Lu Wanxing grew up, he became more mischievous and caused too much trouble, but Ding Fanhui never once spoke harshly to him.

Ding Fanhui was always so gentle towards him.

Until she finally decided to escape everything in this world, the suicide note left to Lu Wanxing was still the same tenderness.

She said, baby, the sky on the night you were born was beautiful, and my mother seemed to have never seen so many stars. In fact, since that day, every time I saw you and called your name, my mother felt that there were more stars. A lot of confidence to live well.

She said that having Lu Wanxing was the only good luck in her life, that she loved Lu Wanxing very much, and that she was sorry for Lu Wanxing.

"Evening star, evening star, good boy, if you are willing to be mother's baby again, mother promises that mother will be happier than this time, and she will definitely do better than this time."

Sometimes, Lu Wanxing would think of the scene of that day.

In the winter vacation of the first semester of the second year of high school, he was asked by Ding Fanhui to take tuition in geography.

On the way home, police cars and ambulances surrounded the door.

In Ding Fanhui's short life, she stayed psychologically in the summer when she was 25 years old, the day she was marked by Lu Zerong, and physically stayed in January 43th when she was 25 years old. She swallowed a whole bottle of painkillers and stopped breathing in the ambulance.

"I ask you, why didn't you avoid that day? You clearly saw me taking the bowl, and you knew that I wasn't trying to scare you, but I was really going to throw it. You did it on purpose, right? Let others see how pitiful you are."

Lu Wanxing said, "Let's eat."

Lu Xi became even angrier, frowned and glared at Lu Wanxing for a while, then suddenly said in a strange way: "You are not short of money now, so I am useless, right? When I was used as a cash machine, my younger brother was not like that. Attitude."

When Ding Fanhui found out that he was taking the lead in crowding out Lu Wanxing, the terrifying look he showed to him had a certain deterrent effect on the young Lu Xi. After Ding Fanhui died, Lu Xi had no scruples at all. Evening Star was his toy and lackey.

But Lu Wanxing was not as kind-hearted as he seemed at all. He never ran out of food, water, and medicine. A tube of inhibitors at most dozens of yuan, Lu Xi transferred [-] yuan, and a bowl of wonton often asked for [-] yuan. .

Lu Wanxing said helplessly, "There are a lot of people, don't be so naive."

"It's up to you whether you're young or not." Lu Xi said, "I'm telling you, I can make you marry Shen Hewei, and I have the ability to make you divorce."

Lu Wanxing glanced at him, proving that Lu Xi had found the right entry point. Lu Xi became proud, but at the same time felt inexplicably uncomfortable.

"If Shen Hewei knew that you were still living with other people not long before you married him, and according to Shen Hewei's personality, it would not be possible to divorce you for the sake of the overall situation and face, but I guess, that's what you are going to do."

"Don't you like to pretend to be pitiful and play the emotional card? I'll see what you do then."

"Little white flower Lu Wanxing turns out to have a lot of ex-boyfriends, Shen and Wei must have never thought of that."

Although he didn't want to admit it, Lu Xi felt that he really knew Lu Wanxing very well.

He always has that kind of snail-like personality, and he is very mean, no matter how he is bullied, he doesn't know how to resist.

If he is put together with someone, he will never have the idea of ​​leaving in this life.

According to Lu Wanxing's unpromising appearance, he probably also wants to live a good life with Shen Hewei at this time.

Lu Xi shivered exaggeratedly, and said what was in his heart: "Don't you feel that your life is disgusting, Lu Wanxing, if I were you, no one would love me, and I could only rely on humility to please others, I would have gone died."

This kind of dialogue happens too often between two people, almost every time they meet.

As long as there is no harsh words from Ding Fanhui, Lu Wanxing will accept them all very naturally.

After returning home at night, Lu Wanxing lay on the recliner by the window for a long time.

As long as Shen Hewei goes on a business trip, he will let the live-in aunt rest.

He was the only one at home, and Lu Wanxing quietly looked at the night sky, not knowing how many times he thought of the words Ding Fanhui left him.

She wrote "Evening Star, Evening Star" as if calling him to his face.

When Shen Hewei received Lu Wanxing's call, the party was not over yet.

After hanging up once, Lu Wanxing called again. He covered the receiver and went outside to answer it.

After connecting, Lu Wanxing seemed to turn over first, making a rustling sound.

Shen Hewei got used to his frequent calls, so he wasn't impatient for a while, and stood there waiting for him to speak.

Lu Wanxing asked Shen Hewei about the restaurant and the expected end time, Shen Hewei answered one by one, usually, he should hang up here, Shen Hewei asked, "Does your head still hurt?"

Lu Wanxing's voice was low: "It hurts, it hurts more at night than during the day."

Shen Hewei took two steps in place, saying that the business trip would end the day after tomorrow.

Lu Wanxing said "Oh" slowly, telling him to rest well and not stay up late.

Lu Xi's vacation is over, and Shen Zhaoling will return to school the day after his birthday.

However, Lu Wanxing's very familiar state in the Shen family has always been in his mind, and he can't get rid of it.

That Shen Wenhua is just like what his father said, just a smiling tiger, fake compassion.

Not only was he so affectionate to Lu Wanxing in front of others, he took every bite of "Evening Star". When Lu Wanxing went to the kitchen to look at the dishes, Shen Wenhua patted his head at the door, and Lu Xi also saw it.

Probably asking Lu Wanxing if it hurts, pretending to care about Lu Wanxing, coaxing Lu Wanxing around, probably closer than his dead mother.

And Shen Hewei, Lu Xi didn't know him well in the past, and he couldn't talk to Shen Hewei face to face when he was arguing about regretting his marriage. Adding WeChat was also the instruction of the adults in his family.

The replacement was thoughtless, he felt as if he hadn't done anything, and he didn't know how Shen Hewei agreed. At that time, he still thought that Shen Hewei was just like that, how could they be so indifferent and condescending as in the rumors.

But looking at it now, maybe Lu Wanxing also thinks he's very good. Hearing that Lu Xi said that he wanted to tell Shen Hewei about him cohabiting with others, he didn't pretend not to hear Lu Xi's speech.

She looked like she was going to be Shen Hewei's wife for 800 years.

Just thinking about Lu Wanxing becoming a little fugitive by Shen Hewei's side from now on, just like before in front of him, Lu Xi felt disgusted and had goosebumps all over his body.

He never expected that things would go this way, and he was waiting to see the joke about Lu Wanxing being angry at Shen's house.

He edited a lot of them, eloquently, talking about Lu Wanxing's chaotic life style, and he read it repeatedly, thinking that the logic is rigorous and the wording is rigorous.

I was very excited in my heart, and I couldn't bear it anymore, so I didn't know when the next meeting would be, so I sent it to Shen Hewei on WeChat.

Lu Xi stared at the phone and waited for two days, but there was no movement from Shen and Wei, and neither did Lu Wanxing.

On the third night, he sent a third question mark to both of them as a reminder, and Shen Hewei replied: [The person with him is me]

Lu Xi subconsciously thought it was nonsense, and sent another [? 】

Shen Hewei: [Lu Wanxing is sleeping, don't look for him in the future]

Lu Xi opened Lu Wanxing's chat box, sent a full stop, and found that after a minute, he was no longer the friend of the other party.

The idiot Shen Hewei took Lu Wanxing's phone and deleted him! !
