I just want to study hard

"Ji Yao!"

Xiao Yuemei's voice came from the stairs. She was probably in a hurry, and she was a little out of breath at the moment, but she still had a serious face, and her tone was stern, "How many times have I told you that your father and I will meet each other?" Divorce has nothing to do with Xiao Mo."

"It doesn't matter!" Ji Yao yelled, like a trapped animal, his eyes were red, "If Xiao Mo hadn't come to our house, if you hadn't insisted on adopting Xiao Mo and cared about him, my dad wouldn't have followed him. If you quarrel, you won't get divorced, and our family is fine!"

"Ji Yao!" Xiao Yuemei raised her hand high.

Ji Yao wasn't afraid, just stood up straight, and continued to speak nonsense, "You fight, anyway, Xiao Mo is his son, I don't—"

Snapped.

The slap was very hard.

"To shut up."

Xiao Yuemei was shaking all over, her palms were also red, tears rolled in her eyes, and her voice changed, "Ji Yao, if you say one more word today, you will leave this house, you want to find your father Just go to your father, and I won't take care of you anymore."

Ji Yao was stunned.

Can't say a word.

Xiao Mo lowered his brows and kept silent, but the hand on his side was tightly clenched.

Xiao Yuemei raised her head, waited for the tears to subside, then turned her head to look at Xiao Mo, and said gently: "Xiao Mo, you sit downstairs and wait for aunt, I've worked hard on you today, let you make this trip."

Xiao Mo shook his head and said softly, "It's okay."

Xiao Yuemei said again: "Don't take Ji Yao's words to heart. Your uncle and I will get divorced. It has nothing to do with you. It's our own reasons. You should study hard and make some friends. In the future, you will be admitted to a good university. University, don’t think too much, understand?”

Xiao Mo nodded, "Yes."

Xiao Mo talked to Xiao Yuemei about Ji Yao's beating, then he squeezed the shoulder strap of his schoolbag and walked downstairs quickly.

Xiao Yuemei didn't look at Ji Yao again until she couldn't see Xiao Mo, and said with a serious face, "You are also very clear about your cousin's family, don't you know it's hurtful to talk like that? Ji Yao, you This is called anger.

You just wanted to blow off steam, so you took it out on your cousin, but you're 15 years old, you're not a kid anymore... You should be sensible. "

"You can see how Xiao Mo came here these years. He has suffered enough and suffered enough. He is the only child left by your uncle and your cousin. He even felt guilty and blamed himself. Every time I endure your unreasonable troubles, and I help you again and again without asking the reason... No matter what, he will let you, but why should he be humble? I divorced your father has nothing to do with him, he obviously did nothing wrong .”

Xiao Yuemei's tone softened, but her expression was still serious, she said word by word: "Ji Yao, you have to remember, Xiao Mo doesn't owe you."

Ji Yao stiffened her neck and looked stubborn, but she didn't refute Xiao Yuemei anymore.

Xiao Yuemei stared at Ji Yao for a while, and saw that although he was still unwilling to bow his head, a little self-blame flashed in his eyes, and he was reflecting on what he said just now, and slowly breathed a sigh of relief.

She asked: "Okay, tell me, why did you hit your classmate?"

Ji Yao was silent for a long time before saying: "Chen Hao knew that you and your father were divorced, so he mocked me about it, I couldn't help it..."

Xiao Yuemei's eyes changed, she tightened her grip on the bag, she pursed her lips, and said calmly: "I see, then this matter is not entirely your fault, he should apologize to you first."

She took Ji Yao's wrist and led him to the office, "Go, go back to the office to find them, Mom will support you."

Xiao Mo endured and walked to the fourth floor, and then he had to run.

He ran downstairs in one breath, but his heart was still very uncomfortable.

He stood in front of the teaching building, with his head raised high, his nose was a little sore. It was already dark and the street lights were on.

Thousands of lights.

But none of them belonged to him.

Nowhere is his home.

Xiao Mo raised his head and stood motionless.

The night in the city is too bright, and it is rare to see stars in the night sky, but Xiao Mo worked very hard, trying to find the stars belonging to his parents in the endless night sky.

He searched for a long time, but couldn't find it, and suddenly wanted to scream hysterically.

However, no.

Xiao Mo lowered his head and suddenly ran towards the playground not far away. He threw his schoolbag aside and ran quickly along the track.

"what--"

Although Xiao Mo opened his mouth, he didn't make a sound, he was shouting silently.

City Y in mid-September is still very hot. Although it is already night, the temperature can still reach 30 degrees. Xiao Mo ran lap after lap, sweating profusely, but still didn't want to stop.

One lap, two laps, three laps, four laps, five laps... don't want to stop, don't stop.

After laps and laps, Xiao Mo's heartbeat accelerated, his breathing accelerated, and he was dripping with sweat, but he couldn't stop his footsteps. Such a fast running allowed him to empty his mind and not think about anything, just like studying. Once inside, you can forget everything.

Xiao Mo could feel the smell of blood rising from his throat even as he ran.

The students of No. [-] Middle School who were sitting in the horizontal bar area stared blankly at Xiao Mo who was running wildly, and talked in a low voice——

"Who is this, he ran eleven laps, is he crazy?"

"The school uniform of No. [-] Middle School? It doesn't seem to belong to our school."

"Fuck, will he run and pass out? Do you want to stop him?"

Looking at each other, several people jumped off the horizontal bar and quickly ran after Xiao Mo, but before they could catch up with Xiao Mo, Xiao Mo stopped by himself.

He was bent over, his breathing was short of breath, his tinnitus was severe, and he was exhausted to the extreme.

At this time, several students from No. [-] Middle School also caught up.

The leading boy asked, "Hey, are you okay?"

Xiao Mo's ears were buzzing, and he couldn't hear clearly. After a while, he came over slowly and looked up at the person coming.

The boy asked again, "Are you okay?"

Xiao Mo shook his head, and then sat down on the grass, only then did he see clearly that the boys standing in front of him were all wearing the uniforms of the No. [-] Middle School and Junior High School.

The boy took a few more glances at Xiao Mo to make sure that he was fine, and then he and the others prepared to go back to the horizontal bar area.

Their schoolbags are still there.

The sound of their conversation reached Xiao Mo's ears intermittently, and Xiao Mo heard someone call the boy who asked him just now "Qin Shi".

Qin Shi.

Also surnamed Qin.

Same as Qin Huan.

Xiao Mo looked up again to look for the stars.

This time, he had calmed down and was no longer anxious, so he found it quickly.

The two stars hang together in the night sky, not very bright.

But it will always be there.

——His parents have never left, they are always there, where he can see them when he raises his head.

The evening wind blew Xiao Mo's sweat-drenched clothes half dry. At this time, Xiao Yuemei and Ji Yao also came down, and behind them, a mother and son who looked as disheveled as a defeated rooster followed.

Both of them lost their previous arrogance. Obviously, Ji Yao's "beating incident" this time was indeed not provoked by him.

Xiao Yuemei saw Xiao Mo sitting on the playground and shouted: "Xiao Mo, let's go."

Hearing the sound, Xiao Mo stood up, picked up his schoolbag and carried it on his back, and walked quickly to Xiao Yuemei.

Xiao Yuemei looked at Xiao Mo's clothes that were not completely dry, and then at his forehead hair that was not completely dry, she understood what he was doing just now, and a flash of pity flashed in her eyes.

But she didn't say anything, just patted Xiao Mo's shoulder lightly, and said softly: "Let's go home. When you get home, you should take a shower first and change your wet clothes, otherwise you will get sick."

Smiling, she said again: "I'll make you and Yaoyao roast chicken with taro that you both like to eat tonight."

Xiao Mo showed a faint smile, "Okay."

Ji Yao glanced at Xiao Yuemei, and finally responded, "Oh."

Meanwhile, Commercial Street.

After Qin Huan finished calling her mother Qin, she put away her phone and opened the door to enter the restaurant.

Standing at the door, Qin Huan looked around the shop first, but did not see that familiar figure.

He frowned.

A waiter came over and asked him, "How many people?"

Qin Huan answered irrelevantly, "Is Xiao Mo there?"

"Xiao Mo?" The waiter thought for a while and said, "He asked for leave today."

Qin Huan: "..."

"Thank you." Qin Huan smiled shyly at the waiter, then turned and left the restaurant, feeling very annoyed as he walked.

Why did he forget to ask his new tablemate for a number?

Well, you must remember to ask Xiao Mo for it next week.
