"Are you awake? Come take your temperature."

Mingyu pulled away from the scene outside the window, his wet eyes were like a puppy on the side of the road. "Thanks."

The sister nurse smiled slightly, and touched his hair with her palm. "It's okay. You have a slight concussion. You may experience nausea and dizziness. Try to lie still for now."

"Okay." Mingyu watched her back leave.

Withdrawing his eyes, Mingyu stared at the white ceiling in a daze.Ever since he lived with his parents, Mingyu didn't know how many times he had been admitted to the hospital, but this time he remembered it very clearly.

During the summer vacation of the second year of high school, Ming Youlin asked him to drop out of school and go to work on the pretext that his family had no money to support his studies.He didn't want to, so he found an opportunity to try to discuss it with him, but Ming Youlin threw the wine bottle on his head directly.Said he was unfilial, raised him so big and raised a white-eyed wolf.

Later, when Ming Youlin went out drunk, his mother Tang Zhilan also followed, leaving him unconscious in the room.It was the downstairs neighbor, Grandma Bai, who came up to take a look carefully before calling and sending him to the hospital.

Sophomore...

The thin white fingertips squeezed the corner of the quilt tightly, like a small fish being washed by a stream, trembling.

Mingyu's eyes are empty:

Now, where is Xia Xia?

The sound of footsteps by the bed came in a hurry, urgent and heavy.

"Xiao Chen, I'm sorry, mom is late." The woman's voice was weak, and she pulled the white plastic bag in her hand, as if trying to tear her slender hand off.

"I'll give you a meal from home. Your father wants chicken soup. I get up at four o'clock in the morning to make it."

"There are a lot of tonics in it, and it tastes just right now..."

Tang Zhilan set up the small table on the hospital bed, and put down the things in her hands muttering.

I haven't seen her in six years, but the woman is still the same as I remember.

Mingyu narrowed his eyes and sat quietly like a porcelain doll, waiting for her to finish speaking.

"Okay, eat quickly." After a while, Tang Zhilan took a step back, with a smile on her weathered face.

After the words fell, it was as if an instruction was issued to the machine, and Mingyu started to move mechanically.

The Ming family is the darkest place in his heart.If it means that Youlin is the person he fears the most, then Tang Zhilan is the person he least wants to communicate with.So if he could avoid it, he tried to avoid it as much as possible.

The spoon fell into the bowl, but the rich smell of chicken soup lingered in his head, making him dizzy because of the greasy taste.

"Xiao Chen, you..." Seeing that the child is well-behaved, Tang Zhilan opened and closed her lips, but she still spoke carefully, "You know, your father didn't do it on purpose."

Mingyu closed his eyes tightly.

"I've already told your father that it's his fault for beating you." The tired voice became more and more excited as he spoke, as if he had found someone to vent his emotions on.Feel free to reveal your thoughts.

"You also know that your father has been in a bad mood since he was cheated in business. Your father didn't do it on purpose. He just drank and didn't see clearly that it was Xiaochen."

"There is also the matter of studying. Your father does it for your own good. Our family, our family really doesn't have that much money." Tang Zhilan stared at Mingyu, her eyes became more and more strange, almost paranoid.

"You were born in society early, and your accumulated experience is no worse than those who have studied for more than ten years. Mom believes in you, and you will definitely be able to. You don't agree now, but you haven't experienced it yet..."

"..."

"Mom, I'm full." Mingyu put down the spoon and said wearily.

"Are you full? I don't think you've eaten. Eat more, eat more." Seeing that he was not moving, Tang Zhilan stuffed the spoon into his hand, "I've been stewing the chicken soup for more than two hours, drink more tonic .”

"Look at the Zhou's family in our community. It's about your age. They have gone out into the society since junior high school..."

Mingyu twisted the corner of the quilt, enduring the throbbing pain and then lowered his head.

Na Na said: "I'm dizzy."

Tang Zhilan was talking excitedly when she heard Mingyu's voice but couldn't hear it clearly.She paused, then continued immediately.As if being overwhelmed by the family, only from Mingyu can she find the authority of the parents, and that slight sense of satisfaction also makes her excited.

Mingyu knew that once his mother spoke, she would not stop talking for at least half an hour.

He supported the bed and leaned back, like a statue, waiting for her to leave.

He was the only patient in the room, and thankfully he didn't have to worry about letting others suffer with him.

"Hey, it's almost noon. Mom will go back to cook and bring it to you later."

Tang Zhilan's face staring at the time changed suddenly, from majestic to humble, it only took a moment.

Only then did Ming Yu say: "I see, you should go back quickly."

Tang Zhilan left in a hurry, just like when she came.While Mingyu heaved a sigh of relief, he twisted his slender eyebrows to endure the nausea.

The room was quiet again, only the footsteps passing by in the corridor from time to time and the birds chirping outside the window made Mingyu feel that he still existed in the world.

He squeezed the quilt and lay down again, covering his chin with only a pair of eyes exposed, and then he relaxed his brows as if he felt a sense of security.

The turning point of life spread out in front of him again, Mingyu's eyes were slightly red, and he sucked his nose.

"Honey, where are you..."

-

"Ache!"

In the central villa area of ​​Jiang City, where land is at a premium, a group of teenagers are playing fiercely on the basketball court.Now that the sun is rising, it is considered a cooler time of the day.

The boys, who had been bored at home for a few days, got together and planned to go to the leader's house for breakfast after a fight.

"Yo-Brother Cheng, does anyone miss you—"

"Get lost!" Cheng Yanxia frowned and rubbed her nose.The slightly stiff black hair was wet and pushed back, the forehead was full, and the thick long eyelashes dyed with ink were lifted, revealing the pure black pupils.

His eyes were deep, as if hiding a sharp knife.Just looking at it is like being watched by a wolf.

He is 1.8 meters tall, with broad shoulders, a wasp waist and long legs.While walking, the muscles on the exposed arms and legs stand out in a thin layer.Hormone burst.

"Okay, okay, I'm going!" The people on the side made a gesture of surrender.

Cheng Yanxia looked at the rising sun in the sky, and was rarely in a good mood.The thin lips were raised slightly, but the cold face appeared affectionate and gentle against the backdrop of the peach blossom eyes.

Several teenagers jumped noisyly to Cheng Yanxia's house.

Cheng Yanxia left a few friends who came to her house to play since she was a child, and went straight upstairs to take a shower.

Half an hour later, he came down from upstairs.

"Smash!"

"Mom, what's the matter?"

"I just answered a call for you, as you said."

Cheng Yanxia walked with the wind and took it from his mother's hand. "Thank you Mom."

-

half an hour ago.

Mingyu couldn't restrain the torment in his heart, so he borrowed the mobile phone of the nurse he was already familiar with.

He raised the quilt and hid his brain under the quilt.

Pressing down the numbers that he had memorized fluently with his fingers, expectations mixed with caution in his eyes.

"Hello?" It was a lady's voice.

The small flame in Mingyu's eyes was extinguished in an instant.He pursed his lips tightly, and his voice was tentative: "Please, may I ask, is this Cheng Yanxia's number?"

"Little friend, you made a mistake, this is mine."

"Oh, yes, I'm sorry."

Mingyu gritted his teeth tightly, tears quickly wet his eyelashes.

The phone was hung up quickly, and the hurried tone seemed to be disgusting.The cold touch in his ears made him shiver.

By the way, this is the nurse's sister's mobile phone.

He hastily wiped the corners of his eyes, pulled off the quilt and came out.

"How is it? Have you got in touch?" The nurse sister smiled softly.She likes this well-behaved boy very much.

Mingyu shook his head: "No."

"Thank you sister."

"You're welcome. If you want to find a friend, you can do it. Don't waste so much energy now."

"understood……"

Mingyu is like an abandoned little beast.Sitting on the bed slowly curled up, hands hugging knees.The exposed wrists are as thin as underdeveloped bamboo poles.

Now, Xia Xia is only seventeen.

He knew where the Cheng family was, but so what if he found it.Xia Xia, I don't know him...

Mingyu buried his face in his knees and gently wiped away the moisture from the corners of his eyes.

He quickly ran through his situation in his mind.

He's not in his second year of high school yet, this time, he doesn't want to listen to Ming Youlin.

Obviously Youlin is not willing to pay the tuition fee.But he should have saved a little scholarship, which should be enough for tuition.Now that the summer vacation has just begun, if he goes to do a summer job, he will definitely earn half of the living expenses.

There is also the knowledge of high school that I have not touched for more than ten years, and I have almost forgotten it.Knowledge has to be picked up.

Get into a good university and meet Xia Xia with a better attitude.Instead of the poor little boy who fell in a mess in the snow.

Ming Chen clenched his hands into fists, thinking that he would not be able to see Cheng Yanxia immediately, the tip of his nose became sour, and his eyes became wet again.

He pursed his mouth, with tears in his eyes:

"Tuan, you have to fight hard!"

-

Mingyu was discharged after only three days in the hospital.

During the day, Ming Youlin is not often at home, and usually drinks outside.Mingyu hesitated, but finally stepped into this man-eating house.

Ming's house has two bedrooms and one living room. The husband and wife share one room, and Ming's room is next to them.It is a small house of twenty or thirty square meters.

Push the door open, and the things inside are clean and tidy.But whether it is the desk or the mat on the bed, they are all old.

Mingyu's memory of this place is that before the age of ten, the couple carefully prepared a warm room for themselves to live in.After the age of ten, the door of the room was violently kicked open, and the sleeping self was dragged down by the hair and endured punches and kicks.

The skinny shoulders are only bones, and even the short sleeves from two years ago still look wide on the body.Mingyu flinched, quickly closed the door and began to rummage through the boxes.

He remembered that at the beginning of school, his mother kept all his documents and bank cards in her hand, telling him to obey him.Mingyu knew that Ming Youlin never mentioned this matter at all.

He didn't even find all his things from her dowry box until his mother died.

Living in this environment since he was a child, Mingyu has been raised to be timid.He didn't dare to resist, because of the consequences, he had tasted it many times.Later, it was Cheng Yanxia who taught him little by little to make him look like a normal person.

Pulling open the cabinet, Ming Yu took out the things one by one from the bottom layer of the quilt.

There is an ID card, a bank card, and an old mobile phone.It was Ming Youlin who broke it, and his mother had someone repair it for him.

After Mingyu clicked lightly, he put away all his things and hid them close to his body.

Xia Xia once said that identity cards and money are the two most essential things.
