The little mute took my cub

The night was getting darker, the street lights on the street were on, the neon lights of the surrounding high-rise buildings were flickering, and countless vehicles shuttled back and forth on the road.

Lu Ran originally wanted to take He Yinan home and cook hot and sour noodles for him.

Taking advantage of He Yinan's absence in the past few days, Lu Ran secretly improved the recipe of hot and sour noodles, and tried to cook several pots, the taste was more sour and refreshing. He thought He Yinan would like it.

The two had a good talk, but when they passed by a pickled cabbage fish restaurant, He Yinan was so greedy that he couldn't walk. He pulled Lu Ran's hand and showed him his phone:

【I want to eat pickled fish...】

Lu Ran glanced at it, and said in disapproval: "Didn't we agree? I'll cook hot and sour noodles for you when I get home."

He Yinan followed him for two steps, then stopped, poked his phone, and looked at him pitifully:

[I really want to eat. 】

[I'll just take two bites. 】

Lu Ran couldn't bear He Yinan's grievance, so he quickly took him in.

He Yinan was really greedy, until he was sitting at the dining table, waiting for the food to be served, he stared at the pickled fish at the next table.

The young couple at the next table were embarrassed by He Yinan's stare, and their voices became smaller and smaller.

Lu Ran wanted to laugh, touched his feet under the table, and reminded: "Don't look, our pickled fish is here."

He Yinan swallowed and blushed again.

Lu Ran did not forget to joke: "Little greedy cat."

After the food was served, Lu Ran didn't compete with He Yinan, and took all the fish in the pot into He Yinan's porcelain bowl, and ate some sauerkraut by himself.

The greasy food in the school cafeteria was not to my liking. He Yinan hadn't eaten well this week. Now that he smelled pickled fish, he was already hungry, so he hurriedly ate hard.

When he raised his head again, he saw a hill of fish fillets in his bowl. He was a little embarrassed, and quickly took out his mobile phone to explain: [I can't eat that much. 】

Lu Ran looked at He Yinan and smiled, and said, "Eat slowly."

He Yinan nodded happily, and began to eat seriously.

Lu Ran propped his cheeks with his hands and looked at He Yinan.

Some fragmentary memories came to mind again, drifting back to that summer more than ten years ago.

Lu Ran still remembers that when he was in primary school, the summer vacation was just over, and the final exam results came out. He took the math test paper with full marks and asked his mother for a reward, and his mother generously gave him 100 yuan pocket money.

In the past at this time, Lu Ran would always invite a bunch of his classmates and friends to come out to play, treat them to dinner, give them toys, and show off how well he can earn pocket money by studying.

But that day was different, the first thing Lu Ran thought of was He Yinan.

That poor and unloved little mute who lived next door to him.

During that whole summer vacation, Lu Ran didn't invite friends out to play, but squatted near the door of He Yinan's house every day to observe secretly.

He found that He Yinan really didn't like to go out very much, and he couldn't help but find He Yinan to come out to play.

Until one day, he saw that fierce aunt go out, Lu Ran had a chance, ran to ring the doorbell, and took He Yinan out.

The two children walked to the door of McDonald's hand in hand.

Lu Ran unfolded the 100 yuan in his hand, and proudly said to He Yinan, "You can eat whatever you want today! I'll treat you to eat!"

He Yinan frowned, looked at Lu Ran in confusion, shook his head and took a step back.

"This is McDonald's! Don't you like it?" Lu Ran asked.

He Yinan looked confused, but still shook his head. He took out the pen he carried with him, and wrote a few words crookedly in the palm of his hand for Lu Ran to read: [McDang... what is it? 】

He Yinan didn't hear the last word clearly, so he didn't write it down.

Lu Ran paused, unavoidably surprised, but he didn't show it, he just explained patiently: "It's McDonald's, it's a restaurant that eats hamburgers and fries, it's delicious."

He Yinan shook his head, indicating that he hadn't eaten. He opened his eyes wide and looked inside the shop curiously, and then looked away, a little embarrassed.

Lu Ran was silent.

He Yinan's look today is very rare. Compared with the disheveled look of the past, today's hairstyle has been meticulously taken care of. He is wearing a delicate suit and a brand-name watch on his hand. Even the pen in his hand looks like a It is very expensive, no matter how you look at it, it looks like a delicate and expensive young master.

But if someone can take a closer look, they will find that the young master's face is white, he looks malnourished, and he is so thin that he can be blown away by the wind.

Seeing that Lu Ran stopped talking, He Yinan was afraid that he would be unhappy, so he wrote again: 【How do you want to eat at McDonald's?I don't understand. 】

【Auntie never takes me out to eat...】

Lu Ran's heart was astringent, and he felt extremely uncomfortable. He remembered how the aunt treated He Yinan fiercely and harshly, and didn't even give He Yinan a bite of his full meal.

Lu Ran sighed, took He Yinan's hand and led him in.

Entering the store, he proudly ordered two beef burgers for He Yinan.

Two children sat on the dining table with two plates of burgers, cola and fries.

Lu Ran was very excited, even happier than when he ate McDonald's for the first time. His eyes sparkled, and he said to He Yinan, "Try it quickly!"

He Yinan was in a difficult situation, and he was at a loss for what to do. After a while, he picked up two straws as chopsticks.

"Oh!" Lu Ran quickly stopped him, "You don't need chopsticks or chopsticks, just use your hands. This burger is wrapped in paper, so it won't stain your hands."

After all, Lu Ran picked up the hamburger and demonstrated it.

He Yinan nodded in a daze, and carefully opened the package. The smell of the hamburger overflowed, and he swallowed.

Lu Ran smiled and said, "Hurry up, it's delicious."

He Yinan still didn't understand. He picked up the bun on the hamburger and took a bite, then he was amazed.

The bread was fragrant and soft, with a layer of sweet sauce on top. He Yinan had never eaten something so delicious.

Because in the past, most of what my aunt cooked for him at home were boiled vegetables and steamed buns.

Seeing that He Yinan was in a hurry again, Lu Ran was really a country bumpkin, how could anyone take apart a hamburger and eat it?

Lu Ran leaned over and helped He Yinan wrap the hamburger with paper, and then demonstrated, "This way, the meat is sandwiched between the bread, and it tastes better when you bite it down."

He Yinan nodded obediently, sandwiched the bread together, hesitated for a moment, imitated Lu Ran's demonstration, and bit down, the sweet sauce and fresh vegetables were mixed together, and served with thick beef patties.

too delicious.

He Yinan ate one bite after another, unable to stop at all.

Lu Ran patted him on the back, and said distressedly: "Don't worry, eat slowly, I have another one here, and I'll give you mine too."

He Yinan stopped suddenly, raised his face, and looked at him a little embarrassedly.

Lu Ran quickly activated the atmosphere, looked at the sauce on the corner of his mouth, and laughed at him: "Haha, little cat."

He Yinan hurriedly wiped it off with the back of his hand, but unexpectedly touched the unscab wound on his hand, and frowned slightly.

At this moment, Lu Ran remembered the bottle of medicine that He Yinan gave him, and he quickly stuffed it back for He Yinan.

But before Lu Ran had time to speak, a person suddenly rushed outside the door.

Lu Ran raised his eyes and saw that it was the fierce aunt, and she actually came looking for her.

After the aunt came in, she looked around for a week and found them.

Lu Ran quickly opened his arms to protect He Yinan, the aunt rushed over, pushed Lu Ran away, and said through gritted teeth, "I'll settle the score with you later."

Lu Ran found that this aunt seemed to be proficient in some kind of face-changing magic skill, and within half a second, her face changed into a gentle smile.

She sat down, combed her hair, and made a video call with her mobile phone.

The other side quickly answered, there was a crackling keyboard sound, and then another woman's voice said "Hello" in a slightly serious manner.

Lu Ran saw that He Yinan's drooping eyes had lost the expression he had just had.

With an awkward smile on her face, the aunt said, "Hey, is that Nan Nan's mother? Today is NO.15, do you want to see Nan Nan?"

"Oh." The noise on the other end of the phone stopped, and the woman's voice was so cold and emotionless, as if she was completing some routine task, she said, "Then let me see him."

The aunt laughed and held the phone in front of He Yinan. He Yinan didn't want to look up, so the aunt lifted his face up with her hands and said with a smile, "Nan Nan is very happy today. I'll take him out to eat." What about McDonald's, Nannan, look up at Mom and Dad..."

"Yeah." A man on the other end of the phone interrupted the aunt, seeming a little impatient, "Okay, don't watch it. You don't need to send us videos often, just once every two months."

"Father Nannan, I will take good care of him." The auntie promised with a smile, but she had already hung up the phone.

Lu Ran frowned.

He couldn't imagine how there could be such parents in the world who were so cold and ruthless to their children.

Is it because He Yinan is dumb and can't speak, so his family doesn't like him?

He Yinan buried his head deeply, and Lu Ran saw his auntie pinch He Yinan's arm suddenly.

The auntie lowered her voice and said viciously to He Yinan: "Are you so courageous that you dare to sneak out? It almost made me unable to deal with your mother!"

Then he looked around the store and scolded her again: "You still come to eat these junk foreign fast food, where did you get the money! Did you do something sneaky! Steal my money?"

He Yinan couldn't make a sound, his eyes were flushed with pain, and he gasped.

Lu Ran was still young at that time and didn't understand much. He only knew how to protect He Yinan. He also seriously explained to his aunt that he brought He Yinan to McDonald's because he wanted to bring He Yinan out to eat something delicious.

But these words seemed to have hurt some of Auntie's nerves. She straightened her back suddenly, her expression was a little tense, and she raised her voice and said, "Who said that? He told you that the food I usually cook for him is not good?"

"No... Lu Ran opened his mouth anxiously.

The aunt had already raised her eyebrows, and stretched out her hand to grab He Yinan's ear fiercely, "When did you learn to sue others?"

He Yinan shook his head and resisted, his aunt scolded him, and her hands became more and more ruthless. Lu Ran saw that He Yinan's fair ears were turned red, and even a hole was pulled out, blood oozing and flowing to He Yinan's ears. In Nan's expensive little suit.

Lu Ran hurriedly stopped and said, "Auntie!"

Auntie stopped her movements in time, not because of Lu Ran's stop, nor because He Yinan's ears were bleeding, she just felt sorry for the suit.

Clothes stained with blood are not easy to wash, and it is in such a conspicuous position.

She was worried that it would be difficult to get along with He Yinan's parents in the next video call. Although He Yinan's parents didn't care much about her son, they still had to put on a show and dress up He Yinan so that He Yinan The parents rest assured to hand over their son to her.

This job is very important to her. Her daughter is sick and needs a lot of medical expenses. Her salary alone is not enough. She needs more money, including He Yinan's mother who pays her every month on time. He Yinan's food expenses and pocket money are quite a lot.

The aunt withdrew her hand cursingly, picked up the napkin and wiped it roughly and vigorously, but probably touched the unhealed wound on He Yinan's shoulder. He Yinan frowned and his face turned pale.

"He Yinan!"

Lu Ran yelled worriedly, he almost regretted it to death, if he knew this, he shouldn't have brought He Yinan out to play.

He Yinan shook his head, taking advantage of his aunt's turning his head, he raised his pale face, bent his eyes, smiled sincerely at him, and said with his lips, "Thank you."

Later, Lu Ran regretted it more and more. At that time, he really should have called the police, but before he could say anything else, his aunt grabbed He Yinan's clothes and took He Yinan away.

With his thoughts returning, Lu Ran let out a deep breath, and when he opened his eyes again, the memory overlapped with the present.

Lu Ran was still in a daze, he wasn't sure whether the images that appeared in his mind these days were fantasy or reality.

Did he really lose his memory?

He Yinan had already put down his chopsticks and was looking at Lu Ran worriedly.

Seeing Lu Ran come back to his senses, He Yinan hurriedly typed and said: 【What's the matter with you? 】

When He Yinan stretched out his hand, Lu Ran looked at his hand casually.

Sure enough, there were several shallow scars on the back of that fair hand.

Lu Ran frowned.

It turned out to be true, he and He Yinan had known each other before.

... There are so many such terrible memories, but they are all true.

Lu Ran grabbed He Yinan's hand to look at it. He Yinan was hurt by the scratch, and he withdrew his hand in a panic to cover the scar on the back of his hand, preventing Lu Ran from looking at it.

"He Yinan, we..."

He Yinan avoided Lu Ran's gaze, feeling very uneasy.

Forget it, He Yinan seemed to be frightened by him.

Lu Ran thought for a while, but decided not to tell He Yinan about recovering his memory for the time being.

Because most of these memories happened in childhood, fragmented and incoherent, Lu Ran didn't have time to sort it out, and even couldn't accept the reality of his amnesia.

Lu Ran really couldn't understand why he was so bad, he lost his memory when he smashed it.

He even felt guilty.

Forget about amnesia, but he remembers everything except He Yinan.

He also completely forgot about He Yinan.

No wonder He Yinan has always looked very sad these past few months.

Lu Ran sighed, it's better to be later, and tell He Yinan after he has completely remembered everything, so as not to make him happy in vain.

Thinking about it, Lu Ran picked up a few more slices of fish for He Yinan, and said, "I'm fine, eat more, don't be hungry again."

He Yinan was stunned for a few seconds. He looked at Lu Ran suspiciously for several times before he lowered his head to eat.

He Yinan had a rare appetite for this meal, he ate up the whole pot of pickled cabbage fish, and even ordered two bowls of rice for the first time, Lu Ran felt very happy.

But he didn't expect that as soon as he went out and blew the cold wind twice, He Yinan couldn't do it anymore, and vomited into the trash can on the side of the road.

Lu Ran patted him on the back and said, "Why are you vomiting again? Why do you keep vomiting, is it gastroenteritis?"

He Yinan pressed his stomach and vomited a few more times before nodding to him.

"It's time to go to the hospital." Lu Ran said, "It can't always be like this, gastroenteritis is not like vomiting, it's been vomiting for a month."

He Yinan raised his face, forced a smile at him, and held the phone with trembling hands.

Lu Ran held him down and said, "I learned sign language a few days ago, you can use sign language, don't type, it's troublesome."

He Yinan was stunned for a moment, but he had no doubts. He gestured with sign language: 【I'll go to the hospital in a few days. 】

This time Lu Ran understood sign language for the first time, but he was not happy in his heart, and said angrily: "What are you busy with, so busy that you don't care about your body?"

He Yinan raised his eyes, suddenly a little happy, and gestured: [I'm busy with auditions these days, it's very important. 】

Lu Ran had nothing to say.

He Yinan straightened up slowly, the warm yellow streetlights reflected on his body, with a light golden edge.

He looked at Lu Ran seriously, and gestured with sign language:

【This is my dream. 】

[One day, I will become an excellent actor. 】

Lu Ran kicked the stone beside his feet indifferently.

He Yinan smiled until his eyes rolled, and gestured: [Because, a person once told me that he very much hoped that I could act in his work. 】

Lu Ran glanced at it, understood it, felt sour in his heart, and asked, "Who is it, do I know it?"

He Yinan looked at him and nodded happily.

Unconvinced, Lu Ran said awkwardly, "What's so great about this?"

The more he thought about it, the more dissatisfied he became, coughed a few times, and said casually: "By the way, I forgot to tell you, my comics have sold the copyright, and I will audition for casting in a few months. You have to try it." ?"

"This comic of mine is much better than the messy characters you auditioned for. It's just tailor-made for you, and the protagonist is also dumb."

He Yinan's eyes widened when he heard the news, as if he couldn't believe it.

"What kind of eyes do you have?" Lu Ran said.

He Yinan shook his head and quickly gestured in sign language:

【is that true? 】

【Did you really sell the copyright of that comic? 】

"...Really, why did you lie to me?" Lu Ran said.

[Can I really play that role? 】He Yinan gestured.

"Of course, I sold the copyright, and I have the right to cast actors. These are all negotiable." Lu Ran smiled and said, "But I have a condition, you have to go to the hospital for an examination first, and then take care of your health. I just agreed to let you go."

He Yinan nodded vigorously, his whole body was extremely excited, the more he thought about it, the happier he became, and the more he thought about it, the more excited he became, as a result, his left foot tripped over his right foot, and he almost fell down.

Fortunately, Lu Ran quickly caught He Yinan.

Infected by He Yinan's emotions, Lu Ran also laughed, rubbed his head vigorously, and said helplessly, "You..."

Buzz -- buzz --

Lu Ran wanted to laugh at He Yinan for not looking at the road when he walked, but was interrupted by a phone call. He picked up the phone and saw that it was Meng Fan's call. He frowned and clicked through.

"Lu Ran."

Meng Fan's voice came from the other end of the phone.

He Yinan heard it too, turned his head to look at Lu Ran, the smile froze at the corner of his mouth, and frowned slightly.

"What's the matter, Lao Meng?"

Lu Ran casually responded to Meng Fan's words, still thinking about He Yinan in his heart, fearing that He Yinan would fall if he didn't look at the road, he stretched out his hand to He Yinan's side, and took He Yinan's hand gropingly.

Meng Fan continued, "It's nothing. I left in a hurry yesterday and left something at your house."

"Well, I got it." Lu Ran said, "I'll get home later, and I'll send it to you when I find it."

Meng Fan told Lu Ran what he left behind, chatted with him a few more words, and then said, "And that diary..."

As soon as this was mentioned, Lu Ran lost his patience. He said, "Okay, okay, I know about that yellow diary, and I will look for it when I have time."

"Well, just remember." Meng Fan breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone.

Lu Ran put the phone back into his pocket, and wanted to continue the topic just now.

However, he found that He Yinan looked away hastily, his face was a little pale, his pupils seemed to be out of focus, his expression was in a daze, and there were still some fine beads of sweat on his forehead.

Lu Ran hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you? He Yinan? What's wrong?"
