Juliet Tower

Qiao Yumian has no feeling for alcohol, and because she was worried that Li Huijun would smell something strange, she only took a few sips of the beer, and the rest fell into An Jiayu's belly.

The man said that he didn't drink enough. It was not modest. He was always excited in the second half of the time, and the volume gradually became louder, which attracted the attention of others. First, his hairstyle was eye-catching, and second, his laughter was crisp.

Qiao Yumian saw that the time was almost up, and hurriedly dragged him away before dark.

"What time is it... What time is the car..." An Jiayu still couldn't finish his thoughts. When he was paying the bill, he wrapped his arm around his shoulders logically, tilted his head and spoke against his ear, very intimate.

"The car at seven fifteen." He rubbed his ears, and dragged the half-drunk man to the side of the road, "I'll call a car to go."

At dusk, before the sky was completely dark, the street lights still turned on on time according to the program. An Jiayu stood beside him as if no one was there, tilting his head and pecking his cheek from time to time, overjoyed.Qiao Yumian has only seen this kind of undisguised look on the faces of children, as if she finally got the toy she has wanted for a long time.

"Don't make trouble." Qiao Yumian rubbed his back in a cold sweat. Fortunately, this place is relatively remote and there are few passers-by. "Don't you know how to drink? Why did you get drunk after just a few sips?"

"No, not drunk." An Jiayu Nunu let go of him, "Just a little excited. I checked, and there was no one around."

Anjia fish wine tasted okay, but after being moderately excited, he felt drowsy.

Qiao Yumian dragged him all the way to check the ticket and get on the bus.

On the return journey, their seats were two-seaters, and there were not enough people in the car. An Jiayu put down the seat as soon as he sat down: "Qiao Yumian."

"Huh?" He turned his head and saw that the man's eyes were dimly lit, making him look sleepy and pitiful, so he reached out and took off his white whale phone ring tied with a rabbit tail and put it on his wrist, "Do you sleep?" Come on, I'll call you when we arrive."

"Go to sleep too. Set an alarm clock." An Jiayu squeezed his hand with half-closed eyes.

"Okay." Qiao Yumian also put the seat level with him, and the man leaned his head over immediately, watching him set the alarm clock.

Before falling asleep, An Jiayu murmured to himself on his shoulder: "It's so fast...it feels like nothing has been done for a day, how could it be so fast...Little Qiao, let's go camping on the mountain next time... ...can #￥%@..."

Although Qiao Yumian didn't understand a word in the last part, even though the other party was already asleep, even though he wasn't sure when the next time would be and what kind of relationship they would have.

But he still nodded solemnly to that satisfied sleeping face: "Yeah."

Qiao Yumian felt that her heart was getting stronger and stronger.As usual, wearing a school uniform and carrying a schoolbag, he turned the door of the house with a key at 09:30 in the evening as if nothing had happened, as if he had really been in school for a whole day.

But it was pitch black in the room.

No one waited at the door to ask questions, and no one handed him a cup of hot milk to urge him to hurry up and take a bath.

He closed the door behind him, fumbled for the switch on the wall, and restored the light to the living room. On the dining table was a half bowl of spare rib noodles leftover.He walked over and touched the wall of the bowl. The soup was completely cold, and a thin layer of gray oil floated on the surface.

It was rare for Li Huijun not to be at home so late, he took out his mobile phone, turned to the number and clicked on the green dial icon.

But after a few seconds of waiting, the mobile phone rang in the second bedroom.Qiao Yumian was taken aback, hung up the phone, and then the dark bedroom door was suddenly opened, and Li Huijun stood at the door in a loose home dress and watched him for a while before slowly saying, "School is over."

He looked at the other party's messy long hair and said in a daze, "Mom...you are at home, are you sleeping?" Li Huijun in this state was a little strange to her.

"Well, sleepy for a while. You can do your work." After she finished speaking, she shut herself back into the bedroom with a bang.

Qiao Yumian stared at the closed door dully, and waited for a long time, but there was still no sound inside.

He put down his schoolbag, lowered his head, picked up Li Huijun's leftover half bowl of noodles, and walked to the kitchen. When he opened the door, he was startled again.

The pots and pans were piled up in the pool, and the trash can was not emptied, and the blood of chopping ribs was splashed on the side of the pool.

If he hadn't just seen the person involved with his own eyes, he would have suspected that Li Huijun had been kidnapped by someone.

Since he was a child, his mother has always been extremely self-denying in his eyes, even to the point of being picky. There has never been any dead corner of hygiene in the house, and the glass lampshades on the table and floor are always shining, so Qiao Yumian has also developed the habit of tidying up things casually.

Is it uncomfortable?

He rolled up his sleeves and wanted to tidy up the kitchen, but he was worried that Li Huijun would blame him for not doing his job properly, so he had no choice but to throw away the kitchen waste first and wipe off the bloody water by the pool, so as not to infeste insects after a long time.

After taking a shower and warming up a glass of milk, he knocked on the door of the second bedroom, and it took a long time before there was a response from inside: "What's wrong?"

"Mom, are you not feeling well? I warmed up the milk, do you want to drink it?"

"No. You put it outside. I'll drink it later."

Qiao Yumian stood outside the door for a few minutes, and found that the other party had no intention of getting up to open the door, so she could only put the cup on the dining table, and returned to the table to do the questions step by step after taking a shower.

He opened the door habitually, but for two hours, there was no movement next door.No one peeked at him from behind, and no one took a close look at him in the name of giving fruit.

It felt so weird, so weird that he tossed and turned in bed until late at night, unable to fall asleep.

He suddenly realized that Li Huijun seemed to talk less and less recently. He didn't even make a fuss when he learned that Han Zhuoyi got the recommended spot and entered the physics sub-sports team a few days ago.Qiao Yumian had done all the psychological preparation, and was prepared to face Li Huijun's all-pervasive censure every day, but she just had an ugly face that night, and said a few harsh words, and then she didn't continue.

This situation was almost unprecedented, and he turned over inexplicably and stared at the crack of the door, but there was no light there all night.

As soon as he entered the dormitory, Qiao Yumian saw that the wind chime had been hung on the window by An Jiayu, hanging leisurely above the pot of dragonflies.

Autumn flowers are in full bloom, soft blue and purple, and you can smell a faint fragrance when you walk to the desk.

He was so worried about Li Huijun's abnormal state last night that he didn't want to eat when he relaxed now. He took off his school uniform and climbed directly onto An Jiayu's bed, hugged his quilt and fell asleep.

The weather is getting cooler, and it is An Jiayu's favorite late autumn, so there is no need to turn on the air conditioner all the time. The wind blows through the window, making the white lily of the valley jingle.Qiao Yumian opened his eyes and felt in a daze that he was lying on a certain summer coast, and when he turned his head, he saw An Jiayu crouching on the table doing a question.

"Woke up so early today?" An Jiayu didn't look up and didn't stop writing.

"I'm a little hungry." Qiao Yumian climbed out of bed, took out a piece of cake and a bottle of strawberry milk from the refrigerator, and devoured them on the spot.

"...You eat slowly..." An Jiayu finally put down his pen, turned to look at him, "What's the matter, didn't you eat?"

With cakes in his cheeks, he nodded.Not only did he not eat at noon, but he also didn’t eat well in the morning. Li Huijun used the spare rib soup left in the pot last night to serve him a bowl of plain noodles. There was no meat, vegetables, or eggs. Before he left, he didn’t even send him off. Yan Yan went back to the room, and even said goodbye through the door.

"I'm a little sleepy, so I'll go to bed first..." Qiao Yumian stuffed two cakes in a row and finally recovered, "You do the questions, I'm full."

Qiao Yumian performed well in mathematics, physics and chemistry in the midterm exam, with a total score of 656 and entered the top [-] in science for the first time.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that the three people who got recommended places in the physics and chemistry competition did not participate in the exam.

After sending out the grades, it was after three o'clock in the afternoon. All the teachers had a meeting. Qiao Yumian sent a message to An Jiayu saying that he would go home early because he would not go to self-study today. Within 2 minutes, he hadn't even finished packing his schoolbag, and that person appeared at the The back door of his classroom.

"What's wrong? Are you uncomfortable?" An Jiayu was also carrying her schoolbag, and seemed to be going back to Yilie's dormitory.

"No, I want to go back early." He chose to temporarily hide the strange changes at home.After all, it's hard to explain something strange, and others can't help, knowing it will only increase troubles.It's better to wait for him to figure it out before speaking.

"It's strange...the schoolmaster is studying by himself..." The other party's eyes were full of suspicion, but he didn't point it out, "Then I'll take you to the station."

"Um. Let's go."

The subway before the evening rush hour was not very crowded, Qiao Yumian walked calmly on the only way home, but was tripped in front of the familiar fruit shop.

This fruit shop used to be just a street stall, which existed since the time he moved to this community from his kindergarten, and they bought fruits from this stall for more than ten years at least.

"You say you! This is the first time!" The stall owner shouted loudly, "For the sake of you being a regular customer, I have the right to pretend that you forgot the first two times and I'm sorry to say it. But our small business can't stand it." You steal at every turn! Today a honeydew melon and tomorrow a mango, this is not over yet!"

After a few steps, people gradually gathered around the stall. There were grandpas and aunts who went home from buying vegetables, and there were also staff who sneaked in from nearby shops. Half of them were familiar faces in this community.

Qiao Yumian's heart felt cold, and goose bumps crawled all over her back in an instant.

It was supposed to be time for work, but Li Huijun was wearing home clothes, and the stall owner squeezed his slender wrists tightly, pushing and shoving on the street.
