blazing fire

I don't know if Yuan Yu was lucky, but after a while, a handsome head popped out of the window on the second floor.

Seeing him, Cheng Zhuo raised his eyebrows, turned around and went in again.Yuan Yu ran to the door of Cheng's house and squatted, looking vigilantly in the direction of her own house.

A minute later, an arm came out of the door and dragged him in.

Cheng Zhuo hugged him all the time, and started biting his ears when he went up to the second floor, with a teasing tone: "Why, do you think that's what I think? You go out without changing your clothes?"

Yuan Yu didn't speak, and kept hiding in his arms.But when Cheng Zhuo touched his back, Yuan Yu flinched instinctively.

"...?" Cheng Zhuo felt that something was wrong, turned him out and began to pick off his clothes.

There was nothing on the clean back, but Cheng Zhuo stretched out his hand and pressed the place he just touched, and as expected saw Yuan Yu trembling, "It hurts..."

"Your father beat you again?" Cheng Zhuo was speechless, and turned to look for the unused ointment from last time.

He put the thing in the drawer, Cheng Zhuo put away the wooden stairs, turned on the light, and asked Yuan Yu to take off his clothes.

The bruise didn't come out so fast, and this time the medicine could only be applied by Yuan Yu's finger. Cheng Zhuo pressed his hand while judging the extent of Yuan Yu's injury, and finally applied the medicine.

"Why does he like beating people so much?" Cheng Zhuo was a little angry, he wanted to say this before, but other people's parents are not easy to criticize, so they suppressed it until now to complain, "If the child doesn't follow his own wishes, he will be educated with sticks? That idiot of my dad isn't that hands-on--before I came, was he like this too?"

Yuan Yu shook his head: "Before sister left, he didn't beat people very much, and before, he only beat my mother and sister. That time, sister...was the first time I was beaten."

Cheng Zhuo: "..."

He only picks his daughter's wife for beating people, this person is really rotten.

"By the way, let's talk about your sister." Cheng Zhuo suddenly remembered something, "She got her salary last month, bought a small mobile phone, and just called me half an hour ago. She said she went to work at 7 in the morning , get off work at 9:11 p.m., have a two-hour break from 13:[-] p.m. I'll copy her number to you."

Cheng Zhuo writes with a kind of unrestrained and unrestrained chic, and a string of numbers is written with a certain sense of strokes.After he finished writing, he tore up the paper and handed it to Yuan Yu: "Here."

Yuan Yu silently accepted it, thought for a while, walked over and put it in the schoolbag.

Cheng Zhuo helped him by the shoulders and pushed him back to the bed, and sat down opposite him: "Tell me, why did your father beat you again today?"

"I was doing my homework just now..." Yuan Yu rubbed his face, feeling a little tired, "There is only one flashlight at home, and my father usually puts it by the bedside. Because his legs are not good, it is not safe to get up at night, so I have to light it road."

"What does that have to do with your homework... Doesn't your dad let you do your homework?"

"He doesn't like to see me do my homework. I usually do it at school. However," Yuan Yu paused, "just now, because I was doing my homework with his flashlight, he stumbled when he got up and down the stairs at night. .”

"..."

Cheng Zhuo didn't know how to describe his speechlessness: "You don't even turn on the lights when you do your homework?"

"Can't open." After Yuan Yu finished speaking, he raised his eyes to see Cheng Zhuo's uneasy expression, and comforted him with a smile, "It's okay, I've gotten used to it, but at the end of the term, there are a lot of homework, and I couldn't finish it in school. "

Cheng Zhuo glanced at his phone, it was not ten o'clock in the evening, even though most people in the village had gone to bed, it was still not very late.

When they were in Jiangcheng, their school was still open at this point.

He didn't know what to say, he rubbed the hair on the top of Yuan Yu's head: "Have you finished writing now?"

Yuan Yu shook his head.

"Then write it here, my grandma never stops me from turning on the lights."

In fact, the conditions here are not good for Cheng Zhuo, there is no desk lamp, but Yuan Yu still likes to come to him to do homework.Only now did Cheng Zhuo realize that the conditions for doing homework at home were not as good as here.

"I'm going to sleep first." Cheng Zhuo told him, "Come and sleep by yourself after you finish writing."

"Okay." Yuan Yu replied, bowing her head to do her homework.

The surroundings became quiet again. It took Yuan Yu more than an hour to finish writing those papers. He raised his head, rubbed his sore eyes, and looked back.

Cheng Zhuo stretched his limbs, half of his face was hidden in the shadow cast by the bed curtain.Yuan Yu turned off the light, and when he climbed onto the bed, he lowered his head and gently kissed the corner of Cheng Zhuo's lips.

This man is his safe haven.

...if only forever.

The next day, both of them woke up early.Grandma Cheng Zhuo was quite surprised when she saw Yuan Yu. Cheng Zhuo quickly explained that he was beaten by his father last night and escaped.

The old man's heart softened, and he clicked his tongue again and again: "Poor baby."

The second uncle and his younger brother didn't come over for dinner recently. Grandma has big cooking hands and often can't finish the meal. It's okay to add Yuan Yu.After dinner, Cheng Zhuo accompanied Yuan Yu to the bus station.

Yuan Yu didn't want to pass by the house, so she led Cheng Zhuo around.Now that Cheng Zhuo finally knew his "escape route", he couldn't help feeling: "You can really slip away, no wonder I couldn't find you at that time."

He was talking about when Yuan Yun had just left.Thinking of the changes in the relationship between the two of them, Yuan Yu blushed a little, lowered his head and looked away: "I just... I'm a little familiar with the road."

He paused, "Are you going to town today?"

"Go." Cheng Zhuo said, "But I'll be back in a while, don't tell me to pick you up."

Yuan Yu bulged her cheeks, feeling a little disappointed.

He looked so cute, Cheng Zhuo laughed, poking his face while no one was around: "Go home tonight or go back to my house?"

"Go...home." Yuan Yu avoided his hand and thought for a moment, "It's not good to stay home forever."

Cheng Zhuo shook his head: "My classmates have conflicts with their families, and they all live outside. They open a room in a hotel for a short time, and find a short-term rental for a long time. It's a pity that your family's situation..."

Yuan Yu sighed and did not speak.

If he had money, maybe he would really find a way to move out, but it's a pity that he hasn't even said anything about finding a job.

He went to two places where they were recruiting, and they didn't want to accept minors, and they found it troublesome.

……

Early morning is a relatively safe time. Most of the dregs of society who are not working hard and not doing business can't get out of bed.After Cheng Zhuo sent Yuan Yu away, he went to the supermarket to buy a small desk lamp, and strolled home.

Although Yuan Yu might not come tonight, he still prepared one.

However, after that day, until the weekend, Cheng Zhuo never saw Yuan Yu again.

It's okay to not see him for a day, Cheng Zhuo is really a little irritable when he hasn't seen anyone for several days.That day, he played games at home until nearly 5 o'clock. He figured that Yuan Yu should have come back from the town, so he hurried out of the house and went to the bus stop to squat.

The first 308 passed by, but Yuan Yu didn't show up.

The second 308 passed by, but Yuan Yu still didn't show up.

Cheng Zhuo frowned, walked back to Yuan Yu's house and wandered around, making sure that Yuan Yu was not at home.

So he went back to the bus station.

As night fell, Cheng Zhuo didn't see Yuan Yu getting off a 7 until almost 308 o'clock.

He finally knew what Yuan Yu was feeling when he was waiting for him at the school gate that day.

Today, Yuan Yu still had no harvest, and he felt a little depressed, and kept his head down when he got off the car.He could walk the way home from the station without looking, but as he walked, a pair of shoes blocked in front of him.

He was a little distracted, didn't look closely, and subconsciously avoided, but unexpectedly, the owner of the shoe caught up and blocked his way.

Only then did Yuan Yu raise his head, and then he was taken aback: "Cheng Zhuo? Why are you here?"

"You still know to come back?" Cheng Zhuo waited for him for two hours, he was so hungry, his tone was not good, "Where did you go?"

"I……"

Yuan Yu bit her lip, looking like she didn't want to say anything.Cheng Zhuo snorted coldly: "You still lose your temper with me that day? Why?"

He didn't say what day it was, but Yuan Yu understood.Cheng Zhuo smiled, turned around and left; Yuan Yu panicked and stopped him: "Wait!"

Cheng Zhuo turned his head leisurely and stared at him without making a sound.

"I'm just..." Yuan Yu felt awkward being stared at by him, "Walking around the town..."

Cheng Zhuo broke free from his hand and said with a sneer, "Do you think I will believe it?"

He pretended to leave again, Yuan Yu was really scared, and quickly pulled him back: "I said I said... I just went to see if there is any place in the town to recruit workers, and I want to find a job."

"What are you looking for?" Cheng Zhuo thought a lot, "Did you find it?"

Yuan Yu shook his head: "Everyone says not to be under the age of 18."

Although the law stipulates that people who have reached the age of 16 can engage in some non-high-risk jobs, it is actually very difficult to find a job.

"Lack of money?" Cheng Zhuo stared at him, "You are short of money, can you ask me for it?"

Yuan Yu remained silent.He just didn't want to ask Cheng Zhuo for everything, and felt that he was too much of a drag on others.

"Come back so late these days?"

Yuan Yu nodded.

"What about the work at home?"

"Come back and do it. If you can't finish it, get up early tomorrow morning and do it."

"Can your father agree?"

"My dad said, anyway..." Yuan Yu paused, "He doesn't care about me anymore."

"Anyway what?"

Yuan Yu was bitten to death again and did not speak.

Cheng Zhuo looked at him for a while, stretched his shoulders and neck, put his hands in his pockets, and put on a foolish look: "I'll ask you for the last time, and you don't have to tell me if you don't say anything—whatever?"

"..." Yuan Yu bit his lip and slowly lowered his head, "He said anyway... I won't be allowed to go to school in the second half of the year, and I will have plenty of time to work in the future, including my sister's share..."

Cheng Zhuo: "..."

Cheng Zhuo: "So you want to make money? Earn tuition fees?"

"Um……"

"Raise your head up." Cheng Zhuo couldn't see Yuan Yu's shrunken head, looking so humble and an eyesore, "You can't go to school because of lack of money, why didn't you tell me?"

Yuan Yu slowly raised his head, and by the streetlight, Cheng Zhuo found that his eyes were shining, as if he was crying.

"I told you, you must find a way to get me the money." Yuan Yu sniffed, "You don't work, so Uncle Cheng gave you the money? I can't go to school with Uncle Cheng's money! "

"..." Cheng Zhuo was taken aback by what he said, and after a while, he tilted his head and laughed.

"Who said I have no money other than my dad's money?" He wiped Yuan Yu's tears with his thumb, "When will you take the exam?"

"Next Mon."

"Prepare for the exam well. I'll help you find a solution for the tuition fee. You'll be finished after you go to your school. Don't worry about it." Cheng Zhuo said, "Okay, let's go back."

"Cheng Zhuo..."

Cheng Zhuo: "?"

"Why are you so nice..." Yuan Yu didn't hold back his tears, but cried even more fiercely.
