The alarm clock rang, and Zhang Ning had skillfully stretched out a hand to turn it off, and then turned over and squinted for a while.

He just pressed his face into the pillow when he suddenly felt something wrong and sat up abruptly.

This room is brighter, much larger than the small old room before, and the layout is completely different.

Zhang Ning opened his eyes wide in a daze. Before he could think clearly, there was a knock on the door:

"Fu Guan! Get up quickly, Ningning is waiting for you!"

It was Fu Mingyan's voice.

"Come on!" Zhang Ning hurriedly raised his voice to answer, got dressed and walked out.

Fu Mingyan was busy in the kitchen, and there was a boy standing in the living room.

Fu Guan's height was raised again, and his thin ankles were exposed when he was wearing the school uniform. His hair was cut very short, and his facial features were sharp and flamboyant.

Zhang Ning remembered that Fu Guan moved to a community closer to the school when he was in high school.The rent near the school was very high, and the burden of moving this time on Fu Mingyan was a lot heavier.

But Fu Guan's grades from school will make her happy, and she feels that no matter how tiring the work is, it is worth it.

Zhang Ning remembered that Aunt Fu was very gentle. Although she was busy with work every day, she would get up early in the morning and cook breakfast for Fu Guan in different ways.

Fu Mingyan is now forty years old, and the lines at the corners of her eyes can't be covered anymore.She put a basket of steamed buns on the table with a smile, then turned to the boy standing in the living room and said, "Ningning wants to eat another one of the lotus vegetable steamed stuffed buns I made myself?"

Fu Guan shook his head: "I have had breakfast, thank you Aunt Fu."

Zhang Ning bit the steamed stuffed bun, feeling a bit untasteful.

He didn't have a mother in the original world. After coming to Fu Guan's house a few times, he liked the gentle and beautiful Fu Mingyan very much, and he always called her "Aunt Fu".But in this parallel time and space, seeing Fu Guan calling him mother strangely, Zhang Ning felt very weird.

After he finished the breakfast made by Fu Mingyan, he went out with Fu Guan.

Fu Mingyan yelled from a distance in the kitchen: "Ningning, come back on Saturday or Sunday. Auntie will cook something delicious for you."

Fu Guan stood at the entrance, waiting for Zhang Ning, who was squatting on the ground to put on his shoes, when he heard the sound, he replied, "Okay, thank you, Aunt Fu."

Zhang Ning put on his shoes, and before going out, he turned his head again, paused and said, "Mom, let's go."

"Let's go," Fu Mingyan took off her apron and smiled at him, "Listen carefully in class."

In the original world, Zhang Ning and Fu Guan's grades were stable in the top ten of their age, and they also entered the top class of science when they were in the second grade of high school.

The life of high school students is very busy. They study and make up lessons day after day, and even rarely have holidays.But when Zhang Ning went to reminisce, those boring days had been automatically ignored. He remembered that when he woke up during the break, he found Fu Guan and his head against each other; Yu Wen's water-based pen is tightly held in his hand... These insignificant things can make Zhang Ning secretly happy.

After the weather got cold, it got dark gradually, and the temperature difference between morning and evening was huge.Zhang Ning pulled the zipper of his school uniform all the way, and tucked his chin into his collar in fear of the cold. Fu Guan pushed his bicycle and walked side by side with him.

Fu Mingyan's newly rented house was just across the road from the school, and Zhang Ning soon separated from Fu Guan: "I'm going first, be careful on the road."

"Yeah." Fu Guan held the handlebars, looked down at Zhang Ning's frozen red ears, resisted touching them, and said in a low voice, "Tomorrow we have to cool down, so wear more."

"Okay," Zhang Ning smiled at him, waved his hands vigorously and said, "Goodbye."

He watched Fu Guan get on the bike, his figure slowly disappeared into the night, before he turned and turned into the community.

It's just that before he got to the downstairs of the unit, he heard the noise from upstairs, and the voice-activated lights of the whole building turned on.

Zhang Ning was stunned for a moment, only to realize when he heard a familiar female voice crying, and hurried upstairs.

The anti-theft door was wide open, and one could see a mess inside. A man was pushing and shoving Fu Mingyan, cursing and swearing. A woman struggled while grabbing his arm, her hair was disheveled, and her face was covered with tears.

Zhang Ning rushed forward without thinking, tore the man away, and stopped in front of Fu Mingyan: "What are you doing?!"

Fu Mingyan quickly hugged his arm: "Ah Guan!"

Then she whispered again: "Can you go first, mom will have a good talk with him..."

Zhang Ning didn't seem to hear, but just stared at the man closely, and said coldly: "This is my house, get out!"

The middle-aged man's face was somewhat similar to Fu Guan's, and Zhang Ning knew who he was without asking.

A scum who ignored his son for more than ten years and then asked for alimony; Fu Guan's biological father, Hou Ruizhi.

Zhang Ning pushed Hou Ruizhi directly onto the doorknob. The middle-aged man was holding on to the door frame and grinning. After seeing Zhang Ning's face clearly, he said with a playful smile, "Oh, my son has grown so tall. ?”

"Who is your son?" Zhang Ning gave him a disgusted look. He didn't know why Hou Ruizhi appeared at this time, and shouted sharply: "If you don't leave, I will call the police!"

"Oh," Hou Ruizhi sneered, leaning against the door frame and said, "Okay, call the police and let the police judge and judge, so that your mother can return the money to me quickly!

Zhang Ning turned his head calmly, lowered his voice and asked Fu Mingyan behind him: "Did you lend him money?"

"Yes..." Fu Mingyan was panicked, and now she regretted her decision to ask Hou Ruizhi to borrow money, "When I moved, I, I borrowed him [-]."

Fu Mingyan looked at Hou Ruizhi bitterly: "It was clearly agreed before, I will pay back in a year... and A Guan is still your son, have you given him living expenses these years!"

Thirty thousand.

If it was the original Zhang Ning, he could easily pay back the money.But for Fu Guan at that time, Fu Mingyan got up early and worked greedily, and paid for his studies and living expenses alone, and paid it back immediately if there was no extra money.

Zhang Ning turned his head to stare at Hou Ruizhi, and said slowly: "I will pay back the money, and give us a few more days."

He couldn't bear to beg Hou Ruizhi, but he felt that Fu Guan at that time would never be humble to Hou Ruizhi.

"How many days? How long is that?" Hou Ruizhi stopped at the door, with the intention of refusing to leave, "How about this, I will give you three months. As for the interest, I don't care about it."

The middle-aged man looked around the room, as if he was weighing something: "But you use my money to live so comfortably..."

When he raised his foot and kicked towards the sofa, Zhang Ning threw off the schoolbag on his back and rushed up to wrestle with him.

Zhang Ning still met Fu Guan at the original intersection in the morning. He was wearing a hat and mask, and said in a muffled voice, "You don't need to take me so close."

"Okay," Fu Guan pushed the cart and walked side by side with him, seeing how eager he was to shrink into his clothes, he seemed to smile: "Are you so afraid of the cold?"

Zhang Ning lowered his head and mumbled, and didn't take off his mask until he sat in the class.

He hunched over on the table without saying a word, when someone pressed his shoulder suddenly: "What's wrong with you?"

Zhang Ning subconsciously protected his face, but Fu Guan forcefully pushed his hand away, tearing off his collar a little.

Zhang Ning hurriedly gathered his clothes, looked around the classroom nervously, and said in a low voice, "What are you doing!"

Fu Guan was pushed away by him, but his eyes were still fixed on the exposed skin under his neck, where there was an obvious bruise, his eyes darkened, and he asked coldly, "How did you do it?"

"I hit it," Zhang Ning was wearing a mask, and his exposed eyes kept dodging: "I accidentally fell down the stairs yesterday."

Fu Guan didn't know if he had a letter or not, so he leaned slightly to look at him, and then said to him: "Be careful in the future."

Zhang Ning said "hmm" twice, then lowered his head again.

During recess, Fu Guan bought a bottle of iodophor from the school's infirmary, and gently pressed Zhang Ning's face with a cotton swab.

Zhang Ning's skin is very fair. Although there are no open wounds, the bruises are too obvious on his face, and the color is a bit shocking.

He sat quietly on the seat, raised his face and asked Fu Guan to apply the medicine on him.Pressing the ice-cold potion on his cheeks, Zhang Ning resisted making a sound, but his slender eyelashes kept shaking.

"Why did you fall down the stairs?" Fu Guan asked, "Is it too dark?"

"Hmm..." Zhang Ning said casually, "I didn't see clearly."

Fu Guan asked again: "Does Aunt Fu know?"

He looked down at the bruise on Zhang Ning's face, his black eyes were calm and focused, Zhang Ning was a little nervous, and stammered, "I know..."

He wanted to quickly bring up this topic, and said, "Okay, okay, don't ask, it's too embarrassing, there must be no next time..."

Zhang Ning pretended not to care, turned his head and continued to read.

What he is going through now is what Fu Guan used to do, so Hou Ruizhi must have gone to see Fu Guan's mother and son at that time.But Zhang Ning had never heard Fu Guan mention this matter.

Zhang Ning read the two pages of the textbook at a glance, and rested his pen on his chin.

How did Fu Guan handle these things at that time, it must be better than what he did...

Zhang Ning took a leave of absence for evening self-study in advance, and left quietly without telling Fu Guan.

He left the school gate, went directly to a commercial street, and asked the clerk of the restaurant: "Hello, are there any part-time jobs here?"

Zhang Ning asked the owner of the restaurant that if he could do a part-time job for three hours a day, he could earn 3000 yuan a month, and he could still get full-time wages during the winter vacation.Although the money was not too much, at least Fu Mingyan shared some of it, so that he could pay back the money owed to Hou Ruizhi earlier.

There were a lot of customers at the restaurant at night. Zhang Ning was relieved after ten o'clock. After checking the time, he went to the boss to say hello, and was about to pack up and leave.

As soon as he opened the door, he was frozen by the cold outside.Zhang Ning put on a mask, and before he walked out of the street, he saw Fu Guan standing silently at the intersection.

Zhang Ning froze for a moment, then stood still.

Fu Guan didn't say anything, stretched out his hand to touch his cold fingers, then squeezed his hand into his pocket: "Let's go."

He walked forward without saying a word, and Zhang Ning followed him awkwardly, trying to pull his hand out, but Fu Guan grabbed his wrist again and put them together in his pocket.

Zhang Ning finally couldn't help but say: "How do you know I'm here?"

"I saw you outside the door." Fu Guan said, he didn't seem to have any doubts about why Zhang Ning came here to work, he just said: "Go back and rest early, I will show you the notes tomorrow."

He didn't ask any questions, but Zhang Ning lost his composure, and whispered, "I probably won't be going to study at night lately."

"Does Aunt Fu know that you don't study at night?"

Zhang Ning quickly shook his head, and held his hand in his pocket: "Don't tell her..."

Fu Guan didn't speak for a while, and then said after a while: "There are still seven months to go before the college entrance examination."

Zhang Ning knew that he had agreed, he breathed a sigh of relief, and promised, "It won't delay my study."

"Really," he looked up at Fu Guan, his eyes were bright under the light, "I will go to the same university as you."

Fu Guan nodded lightly, the profile of his face looked cold and sharp, but his eyes were soft.

Zhang Ning looked away, thinking in a trance, after all, you must have survived like this at the time.

Before the Chinese New Year, Zhang Ning went to Hou Ruizhi with 3 yuan.

Uncharacteristically, the man's attitude towards Zhang Ning changed a lot. He seemed a little apprehensive. After taking the money, he stuffed it into his arms without counting it.

"Now we're settled," Zhang Ning said, "After you and my mother got divorced, you didn't pay any of the living expenses you promised."

Hou Ruizhi's movements were stiff, and he asked timidly, "How much do you want?"

"I don't want your money," Zhang Ning said slowly, "but you will never appear in front of me and my mother again."

"Before you didn't care about us, I hope you will do the same in the future. No matter what happens to you in the future, it has nothing to do with us," Zhang Ning emphasized again, "I have no obligation to support you in the future."

When he walked out of Hou Rui's house, it was already dark, and the New Year was approaching, the streets were bustling with activity, and some merchants were still playing festive songs full of New Year's flavor.

Scattered snowflakes fell in the dark night, and it was cool on the face.

Zhang Ning let out a deep breath. After the fatigue of the past three months disappeared, he did not relax, because the college entrance examination was about to take place in less than half a year.

Fu Guan never mentioned his biological father, only in his senior year, Hou Ruizhi suddenly found his school, and under the watchful eyes of everyone, he asked Fu Guan to raise him, asked him to pay for his medical expenses, and go to the hospital as an escort.

That was the first time Zhang Ning saw Fu Guan get angry. He accompanied Fu Guan to find a part-time job, and gagged Hou Ruizhi with money so that he would not come to school to pester Fu Guan again.But he didn't know that Fu Guan would be embarrassed by Hou Ruizhi at such a tense time before the college entrance examination.

After he came to this parallel time and space, he almost lost communication with the system.The familiar yet diametrically opposed life here occasionally gave him the illusion that this was his original life.

But time will suddenly speed up and stay precisely at some moments that give Zhang Ning a headache.

For example, Hou Rui came to collect debts, and Fu Mingyan's health gradually deteriorated...

These are Fu Guan's original fate.

Zhang Ning wrapped his scarf tightly and walked towards home.

He didn't notice that there was a familiar figure in the corridor of the dilapidated residential building, who went upstairs after he left.

Hou Ruizhi was packing his luggage in a hurry, when the knock on the door was neither slow nor urgent, he opened the door impatiently: "Who is it!"

Outside the door was a boy wearing a black down jacket, with a young face, but the middle-aged man shrank a little when he saw him: "You, what are you doing here?"

Fu Guan is tall, so he could easily see the luggage behind Hou Ruizhi who hadn't packed it in time. He pulled the corners of his lips, his eyes were cold: "Leave this evening, and don't let me see you again."

After the college entrance examination, the classmates made an appointment to have a dinner together.

Zhang Ning was popular, so he was given a few extra glasses of wine, and he was a little tipsy when he left the restaurant.

Someone asked Zhang Ning: "Fu Guan, aren't you going to KTV with us?"

Fu Guan answered for him: "He's not going, I'll take him home first."

Zhang Ning was dazed, and walked forward with his arms in his arms.He moved his feet slowly, buried his head in Fu Guan's neck, unwilling to go forward: "I want to go home."

It's hot in summer, he's so tired of Fu Guan only separated by two thin layers of fabric, Fu Guan didn't show any dislike for him, he followed his movements with one hand and held him in his arms, while the other hand pressed his furry the back of the head.

Fu Guan said, "Okay, I'll take you home."

He bid farewell to several other classmates, and took him to stop a taxi at the intersection.

Zhang Ning was really drunk, as if afraid of light, he refused to raise his face, hugged Fu Guan's neck, put all his weight on him, and said regretfully: "...I won't go home .”

Fu Guan was very patient, hugging him like coaxing a child, and asked, "Then where do you want to go?"

He whispered, "May I take you away?"

Zhang Ning sniffed the refreshing smell of laundry detergent on his body, but said nothing.When Fu Guan helped him to the back seat of the taxi, he suddenly rubbed his face against Fu Guan's clothes.

"Then I'm going home," Zhang Ning sniffed and said with a smile, "Goodbye."

The taxi driver drove according to the address Fu Guan said, and Zhang Ning couldn't stop crying as he watched the lights passing by the window.

The University of Economics and Law in Z City is one of the best in the country in finance, and based on the results of the two of them, they can be admitted as their first choice.

But Zhang Ning hesitated now.

In his mobile phone was Fu Mingyan's examination report, and the diagnosis was gastric cancer.

Zhang Ning leaned against the car window, choked up with tears and thought, why didn't Fu Guan mention anything to him in the original world?

The author has something to say: I'm at the end, I'm a bit stuck...
