I heard that bamboo horses are going to attack me

On the day of Xu Si's funeral, it happened to be raining lightly. The rain was not heavy, but it fell to the ground with a strange sound.

Yu Zhou watched the complete individual go in, and when it came out, it turned into a pile of ashes.

At this moment, his mind was complicated, but he couldn't express it clearly in words.

From then on, there was one less person he could care about, and one less burden for him.

What Xu Si did was the last thing, maybe he wanted to be free, or maybe he wanted to help his children escape from the pain of the past.

It's just her meaning, no one can understand anymore.

After the funeral, Yu Zhou asked Xu Yan to pack her luggage and go back to school. Xu Yan also said that she didn't need to use his money anymore because she was able to earn money to support herself now.

They have grown up now, and they shoulder the responsibilities that adults should shoulder.

They are no longer playful children like before. They still have a long way to go and their future is still very uncertain.

The mother passed away, and the two brothers and sisters have been located on opposite sides of the city since then, and they are no longer in contact with each other, because the bond between the two of them is gone. Even though Xu Yan has a lot of reluctance in her heart, she can only let go Let him go.

He has worked so hard these years, everything he has done is in his heart, Xu Yan does not want to let himself become his burden, so he can only bear the pain and say goodbye.

After Xu Yan left, Yu Zhou really became a lonely family with no worries, but it was really pitiful to mention this name. Unexpectedly, he was still alone in the end.

It's just that even though he's separated from these things, he still chooses to work day and night for those overtime jobs. It's the same as his previous life, except that he has no worries.

With no worries, he can act recklessly, live in a cheap house, eat some cheap and unnutritious food, and no one will take care of him anymore, and no one will care about how he is.

His company has a habit of having a holiday every Christmas. There is no one in the company. Even if you insist on staying and working overtime, there will be no overtime pay.

Yu Zhou walked aimlessly on the Christmas streets by himself, everyone was surrounded by laughter and laughter, but only loneliness surrounded him.

God seemed to have sensed his thoughts, and it started to snow a little.

The snowflakes floating in the sky seem to be his friends, but they don't understand Yu Zhou's thoughts.

It's been more than a year, and Hou Xiaoyan doesn't know how he's doing abroad. His abilities should be stronger than before. He was a legend when he was in school, and there must be a bunch of girls chasing after him now.

Yu Zhou couldn't help laughing, he didn't know why he thought of him, and it was still on this cold Christmas night.

It seems that once a person is lonely, when he is free, he will think about some things.

Yu Zhou's dinner has always been instant noodles, it seems to be his three meals a day, and instant noodles are considered the most extravagant.

The owner of the canteen, because he often wholesales instant noodles, is already very familiar with him, knowing that it is difficult for him to live alone, so he stopped him when he passed by the stall.

"Young man, come here."

Yu Zhou's ears were red from the cold, and his fingers were a little white. He rubbed his fingers, inserted them into his sleeves, and pushed open the door of the canteen.

"What's the matter, sir?"

"This is for you, as a Christmas present."

Yu Zhou looked at the box of instant noodles that he had never tasted before handed over by the old man. Although he was a little moved in his heart, he didn't know what to say.

After standing in a daze for a long time, it can be said that he spit out two words: "Thank you."

"This white pepper one is new. You always eat braised ones, so you have to change the taste. Take it back and try it. If you still want to eat it, come to my place again. It's not worth a lot of money, and you don't have to feel bad about it." Sorry." The uncle is quite charitable, because he used to have a son, but he divorced his wife for some reason, and the son was taken away. After that, he never saw his son again. It can be regarded as a regret left in my heart when I was young.

So when I look at Yu Zhou, I always think of when I was young. Although I will never see him again, I still have a little hope for his son.

Yu Zhou returned home with a box of instant noodles in his arms. There was a dim light at the dark stairway, but he didn't expect that there was a figure there, it was Meng Yun.

Meng Yun didn't know how long he had been standing here, but it must have been quite a long time from his face, after all, his cheeks were already colored red.

Yu Zhou didn't expect him to be here, "Why are you here?"

After saying that, he felt that what he should ask was not this question: "How do you know my family?"

"I asked about it." Meng Yun smiled with his teeth bared, which made him happy!But it was because of his actions that reminded Yu Zhou of Hou Xiaoyan.

Shaking his head, he shook off the figure of the person in his memory, "What do you want from me?"

Speaking of this, Meng Yun's smiling face just now collapsed and turned into a serious look: "I already know about you, you asked the doctor when you were in the hospital that day, the patient must be Auntie! What happened later I know that too, but I think you should take it easy yourself, so it took me a while before I came to you."

"Even if we know, what about this matter? It doesn't have much to do with you, does it?" Yu Zhou originally didn't want to make the relationship between the two of them so unfamiliar, but he never liked other people's meddling own private affairs.

Meng Yun lowered his head, "I didn't mean to pry into your privacy, but when Hou Xiaoyan left, he asked me to help you if I had the chance to meet you."

When they first met, Meng Yun's words were all deceiving Yu Zhou. He still had contacts with Hou Xiaoyan, but he just wanted to test Yu Zhou's feelings for Hou Xiaoyan.

In fact, he didn't want to meddle in other people's business at first, but when Hou Xiaoyan left, he begged him hard, which is why the situation like today came about.

Yu Zhou never imagined that it was Hou Xiaoyan.

"So what? I can take care of myself, and I don't need anyone to take care of me." Yu Zhou didn't know when he changed. He protected himself in a shell and prevented anyone from attacking him, but Anyone who takes a step closer will be covered with thorns.

However, Meng Yun was very relieved that he knew what self-protection was.

final chapter thank you

Yu Zhou also suddenly realized that his words were a little serious, pursed his lips, and changed his attitude: "How is he doing recently?"

Meng Yun knew that he was asking Hou Xiaoyan.

"It's not bad. Now I've become a financial expert. I'm doing well there and earn a lot of income every month. However, I'm still a bachelor."

The last sentence was said by Meng Yun specially to test Yu Zhou's reaction.

Yu Zhou never liked to show his emotions, so Meng Yun couldn't see any feelings from his face.

He could only lose in despair, but he didn't forget to tell him something before leaving.

"He's coming back."

Hearing these words, Yu Zhou's heart suddenly sank. He has been looking forward to this moment for more than a year, but no one knows what he is looking forward to.

But at the beginning, it was obvious that I had been avoiding him all the time, and I was still looking forward to it, so it was obvious that I was being cheap.

Yu Zhou didn't have time to say goodbye to him, and ran upstairs with instant noodles in his arms. In fact, he was panicked in his heart. When he heard the news that Hou Xiaoyan was coming back soon, he felt countless The feeling of panic, excitement, joy, loss, these inexplicable feelings are mixed together, and the five flavors are mixed.

Another week passed, and it was almost the Chinese New Year, and Yu Zhou didn't hear anything about Hou Xiaoyan.

The initial excitement turned into disappointment.

Chinese New Year is coming soon, I think it's time to visit that person, it should be [-] days.

There are two bouquets of flowers in front of Xu Si's grave, but Xu Yan probably came to place them during the Chinese New Year.

Yu Zhou took off his hat and bowed deeply to the grave. He just wanted to take a look, and didn't want to say anything. Besides, he was never willing to express himself, and he was able to say What is it?

Just as he turned to leave, a black figure behind him attracted all his attention.

The man in the black woolen coat was the one he had been looking forward to seeing for a long time, and the one he hoped not to see again, who made him so entangled like this.

The man stood under the only big willow tree here, and smiled slightly: "Long time no see, Yu Zhou."

This name seemed to be a bit stiff when it came out of this man's mouth, but the feeling from before came to Yu Zhou's brain in numbers.

Perhaps at this moment, he understands what it means to meet each other with a smile, and he didn't understand the true meaning of this sentence before.

But now it seems that just that shallow smile can erase all the unhappiness in the past.

Yu Zhou didn't know anything except that the man standing in front of him was a man named Hou Xiaoyan.

After being stunned for a long time, his feet were numb from the cold, and the corners of Yu Zhou's mouth moved slightly: "Long time no see, Hou Xiaoyan."

After saying this, Hou Xiaoyan walked towards him step by step.

Yu Zhou observed him carefully and sized him up while he was walking.

He has grown taller, his body has become stronger, and he has also become more handsome. The incomparable charm exuding from his whole body makes people fascinated every minute.

Hou Xiaoyan approached him step by step, came up to him, stretched out his hand, pinched the fleshless skin on his face, "You are much thinner than a year ago, haven't you eaten well yet?"

Asking such questions as soon as we meet makes it difficult for Yu Zhou to answer for a while. He has been eating instant noodles for more than a year, and sometimes he goes to the snack bar to ask for a few buns and a bowl of porridge to improve his food, but this is also a minority part of.

Yu Zhou is almost suffering from anorexia now, throwing up whatever he eats, so it is impossible not to lose weight.

Hou Xiaoyan looked at his thin rib cage and felt that he would be blown away by the bitter cold wind in the next second.

Sighing, she squatted down, turned her head and looked at him with doting eyes: "Come up, I'll carry you on my back."

This reunion, all the warm feelings from before came to him again, but Yu Zhou was still not used to it, so he waved his hand awkwardly: "No, I can go by myself."

"Come on, I found you with great difficulty. If the wind blows away again, where can I find you?" Hou Xiaoyan was very serious when he said this, his eyes were full of sincerity, which made people no doubt .

Yu Zhou thought about it for a while, and watched him straddle his horse, squatting there motionless, and finally had to obediently lay down on his stomach.

At the moment when he floated up to the gentle waste north, Yu Zhou's heartbeat had already accelerated, as if he could rush out in the next second.

Of course Hou Xiaoyan also felt his violent heartbeat, but he didn't say anything, the corners of his mouth slightly raised in a comfortable-looking arc.

He took Yu Zhou to a big house, and the moment Yu Zhou's feet hit the ground, he also felt that there was something heavy in his hands.

Yu Zhou looked at the things in his hand and asked in surprise, "What is this key for?"

Hou Xiaoyan put his hands on his shoulders, put the tip of his nose on his forehead, and there was infinite love in his eyes: "This is what I promised you at the time. After graduation, we will buy a big house here. This key Well, it is used to lock you, lest I turn around and find you again."

For more than a year, he has been waiting for the opportunity to see Yu Zhou again, but this time the opportunity finally came, and he will never let go.

Hou Xiaoyan let go of him, and kissed him lightly on the forehead: "From now on, it will be our home."

Our home, these four words, to Yu Zhou, are the warmest words he has ever heard in his life. This feeling is found in men.

For a moment, he wanted to stay here forever, and he didn't want to continue to escape.

Facing Hou Xiaoyan, Yu Zhou showed a big smile: "Thank you."

Hou Xiaoyan touched his thin face, "There is nothing to thank, from now on you will be mine, and you will never leave again. I will raise you so fat that you can't even walk, like this You will stay here forever."

His eyes were like a child's looking forward to a spaceship that would pick him up to another starry sky one day in the future. Although the idea was naive, but he said it very clearly, Yu Zhou's cold heart has now become hot.

He used to be very scared, but now it seems that he has nothing to be afraid of. Since he can't escape, let's love again bravely.

Yu Zhou hugged Hou Xiaoyan, buried his head on his neck, and took a deep breath of his breath.
