I don't know if it's a boy

Sun Zhe's bike looks brand new and well maintained. The black and red color mountain bike is just lying in the middle of the road.

He was still sitting in the seat, and a very abrupt back seat was added behind him. Tao Zhiyuan immediately guessed that the back seat was added for him alone.

Tao Zhiyuan's depressed mood suddenly improved a lot. He didn't know why Sun Zhe had known him not long ago and treated him so well for no reason, but at this moment he only felt that life seemed bright again.

"Why are you walking so slowly, come up quickly, the senior will take you to school!" Tao Zhiyuan squinted at him, his eyes seemed to be smiling, and walked slowly in front of him step by step.

"What are you looking at, get in the car, we'll be late for a while!" Sun Zhe shook his hand in front of Tao Zhiyuan's eyes.

He still didn't say anything, his hoarse throat seemed to be on fire, and he couldn't say anything. He just sat on the car silently, grabbed the shirt around Sun Zhe's waist, and tugged it, indicating that he could start.

"Let's go, I'll take you to school..." Sun Zhe kicked his feet vigorously, and briskly drove away.

The morning wind was blowing just right, and Tao Zhiyuan found a short period of peace during this journey.

Five minutes later, Sun Zhe's car stopped firmly at the gate of No. 5 Middle School. Tao Zhiyuan jumped out of the car after waiting for the car to stabilize. He coughed twice and wanted to say something, but his voice was very hoarse.

"Thank you, senior. You can go now, or you'll be late." Tao Zhiyuan kept his head down, not daring to look at him.

"What's wrong with your voice, wait for me." Sun Zhe was surprised when he heard his voice, and then asked him to hold the handlebars, and ran to the supermarket opposite the school gate.

Tao Zhiyuan looked at Sun Zhe through the glass of the supermarket, saw that he was running towards which shelf, then quickly returned to the checkout counter, turned around and ran out.

Tao Zhiyuan looked at him holding a bottle of mineral water and a box of throat lozenges in his hand, looked left and right, then crossed the road, and finally ran up to him in good spirits.

Sun Zhe handed him the things and said, "Remember to eat sweets after class and keep your throat moist at all times."

Tao Zhiyuan handed the things over carefully, wrapped them in his arms as if they were treasures, and nodded slightly.

Sun Zhe looked at his reaction and smiled with satisfaction, "Then I'll go first, I don't necessarily have to go to study at night, call me if you have anything to do."

So the two broke up, one turned around and entered the school, and the other rode his bicycle towards the old campus at lightning speed.

……

When Tao Zhiyuan entered the classroom, he saw Wang Zhuo staring at the door, and when he came in, he waved vigorously.

"At the same table, come quickly and show me your homework." He said anxiously.

"I didn't write either..." Tao Zhiyuan spit out a few words slowly.

"My God, you haven't even finished writing. Could it be that the paper is too difficult?" Wang Zhuo was shocked, and then lowered his head to turn over the paper, unable to believe that Tao Zhiyuan said this.

Tao Zhiyuan didn't say anything else, just took out the homework from his schoolbag, spread it on the desk, and started to write quickly.

Tao Zhiyuan wrote one in the paper, and Wang Zhuo copied one, and would change the answer from time to time to look more natural, so the two of them were very lucky to finish writing before the first class, and handed it to the class representative.

"At the same table, you are not quite right today, are you alright?" Wang Zhuo asked concerned when he saw that his performance in class was poor.

"It's okay, I can't have dinner with you at noon today, I have to go home."

Wang Zhuo pursed his lips, lowered his head and began to brush his phone, muttering, "It's fine if you don't say anything, just tell me if you have something..."

Tao Zhiyuan didn't say a word, and continued to work on the questions with his head bowed.

Just when Wang Zhuo thought he wouldn't say anything more, he heard the person next to him say something softly.

"Thank you."

"Ding ding ding——" After the last class in the morning, Tao Zhiyuan was the first to rush out of the classroom and rush home, as if he was afraid that if he was too late, he would lose sight of anyone.

When he arrived home out of breath, he saw his mother putting the meal on the table.

Seeing him running back, he quickly put down the plate and ran in front of him, fanned him, and said angrily, "Come back slowly, are you afraid that there will be no more food?"

Tao Zhiyuan shook his head, and just said: "Come back early, I can rest a little longer." This was one of the few times when he lied.

Yang Songjie smiled, returned to the kitchen, and continued to serve food on the table.

"Mom, let me help you." Tao Zhiyuan took off his coat, walked into the kitchen, and said, "Mom, let me help you."

"No, have you gone outside to see if your brother is back?" Yang Songjie gently pushed him out, motioning him to go outside to have a look.

Just as Tao Zhiyuan wanted to go out to have a look, Tao Sijian appeared at the door, "Brother, where are you going?"

"I went to find you, wash your hands and eat." Tao Zhiyuan patted his head and said softly.

Three people sat at the dining table, and it was only 15 minutes after school.

Yang Songjie added a chopstick to each of them, speaking in a flat tone.

"Eat more, and go to rest later."

Both brothers nodded and said nothing.

After the meal, the three of them went back to their rooms to rest, and the room became a little quieter, dead silent.

After Tao Zhiyuan woke up from his lunch break, he walked out quietly without leaving a trace.

The afternoon was still busy with classes, but the difference today was that Tao Zhiyuan didn't go to evening self-study, but went home to eat like noon, and then watched his mother and brother leave.

"You remember to take good care of yourself. You can call your mother anytime you need anything." Yang Songjie held the suitcase in one hand and patted him on the shoulder with the other. Tao Sijian was also dragging a suitcase.

Tao Zhiyuan suddenly had a sore nose, it turned out that it was so easy for the family who had been together day and night to leave, even without many things.

"Brother...you will go back to your hometown during the winter vacation, right?" Tao Sijian raised his head cautiously and asked him.

Tao Zhiyun pursed her lips, unable to give a definite answer: "There may be a competition winter camp, and I may go back during the Chinese New Year, okay?"

Tao Sijian's eyes revealed sadness and blame, making Tao Zhiyuan no longer dare to look at him.

"Okay, Zhiyuan, let's go, and we have to catch a car." Yang Songjie interrupted the conversation between the two.

Seeing the backs of his mother and younger brother drifting away, he finally couldn't help it, nestled on the sofa, and cried loudly.

The depression of this day finally ushered in a vent.

He was abandoned again.

Tao Zhiyuan thought.

I don't know how long it took, but he finally couldn't cry anymore, and wanted to go back to his room to do his homework with his schoolbag in his hand.

But he forgot that the water and throat lozenges that Sun Zhe gave him in the morning were still inside, so he took them out, but put them back in the drawer.

Will this care come one day?

also disappeared...
