Unfamiliar number.

Xia Yuanzhou couldn't help but thump in his heart, which debt collector is it?After hesitating for two seconds, he pressed answer.

No one spoke on the other end of the phone, only the whirring of the wind was heard.Xia Yuanzhou frowned: "Who? Why aren't you talking?"

After waiting for two seconds, the other end still didn't speak, Xia Yuanzhou became impatient: "Don't say I'm dead."

"Don't." The other end finally spoke, but with a sobbing tone, no one could tell who it was.

Xia Yuanzhou looked at the phone number for a few seconds before remembering that it belonged to Chen Yang.

"Is it Chen Yang?" Xia Yuanzhou frowned slightly, "Where are you?"

There is no wind outside now, the place must not be low to hear the whistling wind from Chen Yang.

Chen Yang sobbed intermittently for a while before opening his mouth: "The roof of our teaching building. Brother, I'm so sad."

"Just cry for a while when you're sad, it's no big deal." Xia Yuanzhou took out the wireless earphones from the luggage bag and connected them to Bluetooth.

"Brother, do you think I will die from the jump?" Chen Yang said.

"How many floors does your teaching building have? Let me do the math for you?" Xia Yuanzhou went out.He now concludes that Chen Yang really has a mental illness. He doesn't know much about this kind of disease, but he knows that there is one called depression.

Chen Yang's state was not too serious, he wanted to find someone to confide in, but probably the people around him didn't take it seriously, so he found himself, a stranger.

It was the same with his brother at the beginning, there was no sign at all, probably living together makes it easy to ignore some subtle changes in the people around him.Although his brother is not depressed, the last straw that crushed him was probably the neglect of his relatives.

He frowned and walked out of the living area door.In front of the gate there is a large piece of abandoned land, overgrown with weeds.The street lights in this area are often broken, so few people come out at night. Xia Yuanzhou is sometimes upset, so he will come here for a walk, listening to the sound of insects in the grass and the occasional sound of car horns in the distance.

"Sixth floor." Chen Yang stopped crying.

"There are trees, lawns, flower beds and so on under the teaching building. With your luck, you probably won't die. At most, your arms and legs will be broken, and you will be permanently disabled. Alas, the rest of your life will be sad, worse than death." Xia Yuanzhou didn't know this kind of thing. I was a little uneasy about whether the persuasion according to his intention would be effective.

Chen Yang seemed to be shaken: "It's quite uncomfortable."

Xia Yuanzhou breathed a sigh of relief: "Didn't you say you were bored? I happen to be bored too, so let's talk."

"I don't want to go to school anymore." Chen Yang said, "It's boring."

"Yeah." Xia Yuanzhou casually picked up a piece of dog's tail grass and put it in his mouth. "Take a break when the pressure is high. Back then, I didn't want to study, so I went to work on the construction site."

"Did your parents not stop you?" Chen Yang asked.

"Stop it, but I'm just so stubborn." Xia Yuanzhou spat out the dog's tail grass, and a figure swayed into the grass in front of him.He was familiar with that figure, Li Mingwen.

"Ah."

Hearing Chen Yang jumping down from somewhere, Xia Yuanzhou felt relieved, and quickly changed the subject: "Want to play something exciting?"

"What's exciting?"

"I saw someone sneaking into a patch of grass at the gate of the construction site. Do you want to know what that person was doing there?"

Xia Yuanzhou deliberately lowered his tone, making him nervous.

"En." Chen Yang said in a calm tone.

As long as he stopped looking for life and death, Xia Yuanzhou would not care about him.

"Then don't make a sound, I won't hang up the phone, you listen." Xia Yuanzhou put his phone in his pocket, walked to the opening where Li Mingwen had just entered, and walked in through the waist-deep grass.

The landfill inside is full of rubbish, all kinds of plastic bags, bottles and cans, and the lack of light makes it very difficult to walk.

"It feels like I'm here to catch a traitor." Xia Yuanzhou said in a low voice, and there was light in the grass in front of him.

Chen Yang didn't speak, but he should be listening.

Xia Yuanzhou continued to walk in. In fact, he knew what Li Mingwen was here for, and he usually didn't see it when he saw it.If it weren't for Chen Yang's state, he wouldn't have stepped in at all.

The sound of breaking a twig under one's feet is quite small, but it is so quiet here that it sounds particularly abrupt.

Li Mingwen shouted in a panic from the grass: "Who?!"

Xia Yuanzhou didn't want to be discovered by him, otherwise this kid thought he had some plans for him.

"Meow... Meow..." Xia Yuanzhou must have thought he was crazy if he thought about it later.

Chen Yang's other end was still silent, Xia Yuanzhou didn't know if he was by the phone or not.

So, he asked again in a low voice: "Are you still there?"

The slight sound of footsteps rubbing against the ground from there indicated his presence.

Xia Yuanzhou walked back, he was afraid that he would step on Li Mingwen if he walked in again...

I can't think about it, otherwise goosebumps will fall all over the ground, and the garbage on the ground will be covered.

Xia Yuanzhou returned to the road and stomped his feet, always feeling that there was something unclean on the soles of his shoes.

"What is that man doing?" Chen Yang asked.

"You may not believe it if you tell me." Xia Yuanzhou walked forward, and there was a big banyan tree in front of it, and a bench was placed under it, which was probably placed by the local villagers before the demolition.It's a bit worn out, but it can still sit on it, it's just covered with a thick layer of dirt.

"What is he doing?" Chen Yang's tone rose a little.

"You should have thought of it." Xia Yuanzhou took out a tissue from his pocket and wiped it. The dust was too thick to wipe clean.

"Damn." Chen Yang cursed, then laughed, "Why is he outside..."

"The toilets on the construction site, especially the men's toilets, you can't imagine." Xia Yuanzhou sighed looking at the sporadic and blurred buildings in front of him.

There was no sound from Chen Yang's end, and Xia Yuanzhou had nothing to say for a while, they all fell silent.

He took out his mobile phone and searched on Baidu, depression, a row of search answers popped up below, hesitated for two seconds and clicked into the bottom row of titles.

Fifteen things you should never say to someone with depression.

The first sentence: "Others are worse than you."

"Who's life is not a piece of chicken feathers." Xia Yuanzhou gasped, and he said something like that upstairs that day.

The more he looked down, the more he couldn't stand it anymore. He said every sentence, it was really...a bit like rubbing salt on the wound.

He touched the earphone, cleared his throat: "That Chen Yang, are you still there?"

Chen Yang hummed lightly, his voice sounded a bit dry.

"Where are you now?" Xia Yuanzhou exited the webpage and took a picture with his mobile phone against the roadside lights.

"Stairwell." Chen Yang's voice was still muffled.

"Yeah." Xia Yuanzhou said, "I'll accompany you, hang up when you're tired."

"En." Chen Yang said, "Brother, thank you."

"Thank you." Xia Yuanzhou searched for what was mentioned on the webpage just now, "Anyway, I'm quite... I don't talk much, and you are the one I usually talk to the most."

"Let's hit it off." Chen Yang smiled softly, "I said that the other day, and you don't admit it."

"Hey," Xia Yuanzhou straightened his long legs, "Do you understand being shy?"

"Did you search Baidu just now?"

Xia Yuanzhou froze for a moment: "Well, do you know how to count?"

"No, it's just that your tone of voice is wrong." Chen Yang leaned against the wall and didn't want to move. The school bell had already rang.The class teacher's phone calls, his parents' phone calls kept coming, he wanted to throw away the phone, but Xia Yuanzhou's phone was not hung up, and he tried to comfort himself with crappy words of comfort.

He smiled hard at the night sky, he didn't know why he just said that, the people around him said it, his parents said it, it felt different from Xia Yuanzhou's mouth, it was very useful.
