grey alley

Xuesong carried his little luggage and looked at the dim sky.He left alone, and now he came back alone, and has not been back for two full years.

Everything seems to be the same as two years ago, and it seems that everything is different.

The way home became a bit long, as if it would never end. When he came to the door of the house and stepped up the steps, he heard a sharp cry from inside, like a silver bottle bursting, mixed with the sound of sobbing, "That day I did come back, but I didn't! I didn't do this kind of thing, you have always only had him in your eyes, only him! Where have we been?!"

Xue Lan swept the vase placed at the corner of the stairs to the ground, feeling very emotional, "I didn't do it, Dad, are you still my dad? Why don't you believe me, I'm your daughter..." Her voice was rare It is very sharp and has strong penetrating power, but it is difficult to hide the sorrow inside "He is not your child at all, but your lover! You put him in our house, in front of us, and raised him for so many years, you see Have we ever been there?!"

"In your eyes, what are my brother and I..." At the end of the sentence, she was sobbing.

Xue Dongqing's cold voice sounded, compared to Xuelan's hysterical, he was calmer, "Have you been back? Then what did you do at home? When did you leave? What do you want to do when you come back?" What are you doing? Why don't you say hello to Aunt Jiang."

"Dad..." Xue Dongqing's merciless words like interrogating a prisoner seemed to make her despair, "Why do you think it must be me..."

Xue Dongqing looked at her for a moment, then suddenly said: "Your coat got a lot of pollen on the day you came home."

"Xueyu is allergic to pollen, so I never let him go out, because pollen can induce his hereditary asthma." Xue Dongqing lowered her head and rarely called her nickname, "Xiaolan, so can you tell me why You obviously didn’t bring any flowers back that day, but why is there so much pollen on your coat?”

Xue Lan's pupils shrank slightly, and she suddenly froze, "Hafen?"

She was walking with Lu Guanqing that day, because she was sweating a little, she took off her coat and handed it to Lu Guanqing. When she passed by the flower shop, because the flowers at the door were blooming so well, Lu Guanqing said that she wanted to see her off A few flowers, so I took her in for a stroll...

Why... just that day?

He started the topic and talked about the situation at home, which reminded her that she hadn't been home to see it for many days, and she wanted to buy two bunches of flowers back home, but she heard Xue Dongqing said that Xueyu was allergic to pollen, so she dismissed the idea and turned to her. But I bought some other things and wanted to go back and have a look. Unexpectedly, Xue Dongqing was on a business trip, and Aunt Jiang was not at home. That day, Xue Yu went down to open the door for her, brought her in, and casually hung her coat at the door on the coat rack...

These are too commonplace things, if you don't recall the past carefully one by one, you will rarely find something wrong.

Xue Lan slowly broke out in a cold sweat when she heard the sound of the door opening behind her.

Xue Song stood at the gate with his luggage, his body was shaved and his skin was tanned, "What's wrong?" He looked at the two people inside and asked calmly.

"Snow... Cedar?" Xue Lan opened her mouth, "Are you back?"

"Yeah." Xue Song picked up her small bag, passed by her, and called Xue Dongqing in the corridor on the second floor Dad, then went straight into her room and closed the door.

Xue Dongqing looked at Xue Lan condescendingly, and said: "You'd better think carefully, think about whether the people around you treat you sincerely, or play tricks on you with ulterior motives." Then she also turned and left.

Xue Lan was left alone in the hall.

She left in a daze and wandered aimlessly for a day, but she just didn't dare to return to Guanqing's house.

However, if she wandered any longer, it would be dark. Even if she dared not face it, she had nowhere to go.

Lu Guanqing was playing games on the sofa, and didn't raise her eyelids when she heard the door open, so she asked her casually, "Where did you go?"

Xue Lan pursed her lips and remained silent, pouring herself a glass of cold water to drink.

After losing a game, Lu Guanqing's eyes were tinged with impatience, he threw the handle and hugged her from behind, and pressed her gently curved lower abdomen with one hand: "Are you tired?"

Xue Lan muttered, "A little bit," she held out her finger to Lu Guanqing, "Today I went for a new manicure."

Xue Lan was born with a good appearance, her hands were as fine and white as jade, her fingers were long and slender, and she was adorned with beautiful nail art, which was pleasing to the eye.Lu Guanqing played with her hand for a while, trying to push her onto the sofa, but Xue Lan suddenly showed a bit of resistance, subconsciously clutching her belly in shock: "No."

Lu Guanqing narrowed his eyes, "What?"

Xue Lan forced a smile when she heard the words, "I'm a little uncomfortable, don't feel better today? I was a little popular last time."

Lu Guanqing just looked at her silently, and saw that even a thin layer of sweat was oozing from Xue Lan's forehead, so he chuckled and gently wiped the sweat off her forehead, "Why are you nervous, it seems that I'm going to eat Like you." His eyes turned to Xue Lan's lower abdomen, and he lowered his head and pressed his face against it, "Alan, do you really want this child?"

"..."

"But I don't want to be a father so early. I just graduated from college this year." Lu Guanqing rubbed his face, wrapping around her waist like a poisonous snake, "You can have a child later, but we haven't Get ready to meet him, now I may not be qualified to be a qualified father," he said: "Can I get rid of it? There will be children in the future. We don't have enough conditions and preparations yet. It's just too inappropriate. Will you, Alan?"

Xue Lan couldn't see his expression, but could feel his hand on her waist gradually tightened, with terrifying strength.

She became frightened, and kept trying to break away from Lu Guanqing's hand, and moved far away to the other side of the sofa. Lu Guanqing stood up and looked at him with some doubts: "Alan"

"Don't come here."

"Alan, what's wrong with you?" Lu Guanqing stood up and walked towards her.

"Don't come here!" Xue Lan's voice became high-pitched.

Lu Guanqing paused, and really stood where he was, the gentle expression on his face faded a little, "What happened, why did you come back like this after going out, did someone tell you something?"

Xue Lan looked at him with wide eyes, staring at him, her emotions became visibly agitated, "I want to ask you that day, the day I went back, did you get something on my clothes?"

Lu Guanqing paused and smiled: "What are you talking about?"

"It's you, right? You got pollen on my clothes, and you urged me to go home, causing my brother's allergies to cause asthma, and he's still lying in the hospital with respiratory failure. You did it, right?

Lu Guanqing smiled, and wanted to pull her over, but Xue Lan took a step back, which made his movement in vain.

The smile on Lu Guanqing's face finally disappeared, "Alan, what are you talking about? What can I do on your clothes? How do I know that your brother has asthma and cannot touch pollen?"

Xue Lan didn't listen, and just waved his hand away, seeing clearly the coldness hidden in his eyes.She took a step back, originally this position was facing the door, then suddenly turned around and ran out quickly.

Lu Guanqing took two quick steps and was about to chase after her, but he thought of something, coldly watched her figure running away from sight, closed the door with his backhand, and never went out again.

In the middle of the night, Xue Lan ran out alone, without even having time to put on a piece of clothes, wandering alone on the street in the autumn night, tears streaming down uncontrollably.

Suo Tuo Feiren really regretted it after suffering a loss. She was ashamed to see her father and younger brother, and only realized how sad it was when she was wandering outside alone.

Xue Lan was really tired from walking, she squatted on the side of the road and bent her knees, tears slowly fell to the ground along the gap between her arms, like a statue sitting on the side of the road without moving.

I don't know how long it has passed, but it was so long that it seemed that the night was already very deep, and her head was already dizzy, when a woman's voice suddenly sounded in her ear, "What are you doing here?"

Liao Xuefang was driving the car, Xue Lan sat on the co-pilot with her head down, clutching a towel that Liao Xuefang threw to her just now: "Wipe it."

Driving all the way home, Liao Xuefang lived alone. Before entering the door, she kicked off her high heels, dragged out a pair of cotton wool, and said, "Come in."

She looked at the person who was described as a mess all over her body, and leaned on the door frame with her arms folded, "Argued with your boyfriend and ran out?"

Xue Lan was a little embarrassed.

Liao Xuefang had heard the news that she was pregnant a long time ago, and her eyes glanced over Xuelan's lower abdomen vaguely, which made the other party a little embarrassed, and she turned her body slightly.

"Sit down." Liao Xuefang went to the kitchen to boil hot water, "I told Lu Guanqing before going home that he would come to pick you up soon." Will keep people here overnight.

Xue Lan raised her head abruptly when she heard the words, and subconsciously said, "No."

"What don't you want?" Liao Xuefang just filled the water bottle.

"Don't...call him..." Xue Lan's voice became smaller and smaller, like humming.

Liao Xuefang's eyes returned to her, looked at her for a long time, and suddenly said: "You are not driven out by him, are you?"

"I..." Xue Lan clutched the hem of her clothes, unable to utter a word for a long time, obviously unable to speak out because of concerns.Liao Xuefang is actually not willing to deal with people like her.Xuelan is like a dodder flower, she needs to be attached to others to survive, she is gentle, weak, without assertiveness, and she even speaks in a soft voice, all she has to do is write "I'm easy to cheat" on her face.

"I don't want to see him," Xue Lan didn't know where the courage came from, maybe it was because she was really pushed too hard, maybe she finally saw something chilling, she suddenly calmed down, even though her hand was still Trembling slightly: "I don't want to see Lu Guanqing anymore, he wants to take me to kill the child."

Liao Xuefang glanced at her and said nothing. After a while, she came out of the kitchen, bent down towards Xuelan, and got very close, "Isn't this a normal thing? Don't you still have hope for him? Do you want to keep this child?"

Xue Lan's eyelashes trembled, and she continued to say: "I thought you two have been together for so long, no matter what, you should know what kind of person he is." Liao Xuefang laughed, "I didn't expect you to be naive It took me a little by surprise, and I even took a life with him."

Xue Lan's face turned pale.

Liao Xuefang straightened her waist and sighed: "There is no way, he may be here in half an hour or so."

The hope in Xue Lan's eyes that was originally invisible when she brought her home dimmed. She sat quietly in the corner and did not speak. Liao Xuefang didn't bother to bother her too much. She went to the kitchen and continued to boil water. Pure music was playing in the living room. Liao Xuefang From time to time, she would hum softly and walk lightly. One can imagine that her usual state of life is such a person who is at ease, rather than relying on someone to get spiritual satisfaction.

Liao Xuefang is completely different from her.Xue Lan's complexion became darker and her throat felt bitter. She waited for the time to pass by, like a person about to be executed waiting for the moment when the gunshots sounded.

Finally, when the bell rang at the door, Xue Lan's hand trembled, and she almost tipped over the paper cup in her hand, letting the hot water splash all over her body.

Liao Xuefang walked over to the cat's eye, and then opened the door. Lu Guanqing stood at the door and looked in with concern. When he saw Xue Lan, he was about to speak when Liao Xuefang raised his hand and slapped him twice without warning. hand.

The force was quite heavy, and there were two loud bangs.

Lu Guanqing was dumbfounded.

Xue Lan was also dumbfounded.

"First, no matter how you two are, but you let your pregnant girlfriend run outside in unlined clothes and have nowhere to go outside, shivering in the cold wind, while you lie comfortably at home and play games with your friends, it can be seen You have little empathy and are not worthy of trust.

Second, you haven't graduated from university yet, but you didn't do anything to coax your girlfriend into getting pregnant, but now you don't want to be responsible for having someone abort the child. It shows that you are a bad person with no sense of responsibility, no trustworthy.

To sum up, if you skip the evaluation step, you are already a bad person, and you don’t need to be appraised at all. And the third point, I didn’t ask you to come to the door today to let you pick up someone, as long as I didn’t like you for a long time before. "

"Yes, that's right," Liao Xuefang sneered, and successfully looked at Lu Guanqing's cold expression, and the fake expression that hadn't changed for thousands of years was no longer on his face: "I know that in your nature, you will repay ghosts and fans." Tianyan, but I just see that you are unhappy, so I asked you to come to the door today because of these two slaps, now that the slaps are finished, there is nothing to do," she raised her chin and signaled to the corridor: "You can go. "

After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Lu Guanqing's reaction, and slammed the door back. Just as Lu Guanqing wanted to stop her, she pinched her fingers without hesitation, retracted her hand with a whoosh, and squeezed her fingers outside the door to inhale.

After a moment of silence, the outside knew that she really would not open the door again, so she angrily kicked the door twice, and left after a long time.

"Did you see it?" Liao Xuefang said: "Even if you can see a little bit, what kind of person he is, it's worth you wearing such a thick filter and begging for so long by his side."

"Xue Lan," she said mercilessly, "You really don't have a clear mind."

Xue Lan looked down at the paper cup that she had clutched badly, in a daze for a while, then suddenly nodded, "Yes."

"Go wash up," she was caught in the pajamas thrown by Liao Xuefang as soon as she looked up, "Go to bed early today, and I'll take you back to your home tomorrow."

When Liao Xuefang really drove her back to Xue's house the next day, Xue Lan saw Xue Dongqing at the head of the table, Xue Yu who had just been discharged from the hospital, and Xue Song who was sitting silently eating breakfast.

When Aunt Jiang saw her, she immediately prepared bowls and chopsticks for her, and put them in the place she used to do most often.

Xueyu waved to her, "Xiaolan is finally back, have you had breakfast?"

Xue Dongqing glanced at her, her tone remained indifferent, "Come and sit down, let's talk about something after eating."

A layer of hot air slowly gushed from Xue Lan's eyes, she walked over slowly and sat down, and said in a low voice: "Dad..." She rubbed her fingers, although her voice was still soft, but now it finally brought a trace of firmness, after all, It's different from before: "I will get rid of this child, I don't want to get entangled with Lu Guanqing anymore."

The sound of the porcelain spoon colliding with the bowl was crisp, and Xue Song, who had been silent at the side, suddenly asked, "What child?"

------

"Yeah, um, I know," Lu Mingzhou said on the phone, not forgetting to tease Pei Xiqing's ear, pinching the soft earlobe between his fingertips and rubbing, "He came back two days ago, but I haven't been there for the past two days. I went out, so I didn't go to see it."

Lin Mizhi's chirping voice came from the other end, like a little daughter-in-law who was finally looking forward to her husband, "It's just two days, I can't wait to see his downcast dog, it must be wonderful, after two days Year soldier, his body must have been hollowed out hahahahahahahaha..."

Lu Mingzhou: "...I don't really want to go with you."

"Why?" Lin Mizhi complained, "Is my butt not upright enough?"

"..." Lu Mingzhou glanced at Pei Xiqing, who was unconsciously holding the picture book next to him, and gritted his teeth in a low voice: "Can you keep your mouth shut when you speak? Save your coquettish words for when you reunite with Xuesong." Bar."

Lin Mizhi was embarrassed, remembering Lin Mizhi's love for his boyfriend, and said compromised: "Okay."

The protracted ending sound was very beating, and the corners of Lu Mingzhou's mouth twitched when he heard it.

When he finally hung up on Lin Mizhi's annoying phone call, he found that Pei Xiqing was not looking at the picture book, but looking at him, "Where are you going?"

Lu Mingzhou coughed, "Xue Song came back these two days, I haven't seen him in two years, I should take time to visit him soon."

Pei Xiqing posted, "He, and the one who called you just now, are all children you raised since childhood, right?"

"Yes, I told you about them before." Lu Mingzhou straightened his hair and asked suddenly, "Do you want to go and see together?"

Pei Xiqing thought for a moment, nodded and smiled, "Okay."

Xue Song quit smoking and drinking, and shaved a size that he had never seen before. When the two of them met, he was slowly wrapping a few bandages on his finger bones. Xue Lan stood aside, looking like he had done something wrong. As it turned out, neither of them spoke.

Lin Mizhi broke the silence with a loud voice, hugged him by the shoulders, and said with a smile, "Brother, I haven't seen you in two years, it's changed a lot." The hairstyle made his brows and eyes look a little sharper than before, so he joked: "Why did you make it like this, it's not because you want to hit someone."

Hearing this, Xue Song raised his eyelids, glanced at Xue Lan's face, and suddenly laughed, "Yes."

Seeing that he didn't look like a fake, Lin Mizhi let go of his shoulders in embarrassment, and smiled to hide his cowardice just now, "Who are you going to hit? It can't be your sister's ex-boyfriend Lu Guanqing, right?"

Pei Qinghuan listened for a moment, then subconsciously asked Lu Mingzhou, "Who did he just talk about?"

Lu Mingzhou carefully looked at the changes in Xue Song's whole body, and told him, "Xue Lan's boyfriend is called Lu Guanqing, and he should be about the same age as you, a little older than you."

Pei Xiqing blinked, seeing him turn his head away, chewing these three words slowly in a low voice, barely audible "Lu...guan...qing?"

The author has something to say: Good night.
