Chapter 25

When Sheng Xia was nine years old, her father passed away.

His father, who was working in a brewery at the time, was hit by a falling piece of equipment in an accident and died instantly.

In Shengxia's memory, Sheng Weijun was a very gentle man, gentle to his wife, to himself, to his colleagues, and to wild dogs and cats.

But Sheng Xia's impression of Sheng Weijun is only gentle.After his death he left very little, the most valuable being a large compensation to them.

Zhao Jie is very smart.When she got the money, the tourism industry in Dali was not so booming. She found a way out and bought a shop in the ancient city. It has doubled.She was not idle during that time, selling tea with people she knew, selling specialty products, exporting, retailing, wholesale...everything that could make money was tried.

Sheng Xia actually asked her why she made herself so tired. Zhao Jie had already earned enough, and even collecting rent was enough for their daily life.

Zhao Jie answered him at the time: "Baby, when you live to my age, you will understand that in this world, not having money is the saddest thing. Only when we have money can we feel safe."

Sheng Xia has never understood Zhao Jie's money theory, but he understands Zhao Jie's sense of uncertainty.Having experienced the life and death of close relatives, perhaps only by grasping some real things can one feel safe, not to mention that Zhao Jie still has him with her, and Zhao Jie only has him.

Sheng Xia was born prematurely and was in poor health. When he was a child, he suffered from severe and minor illnesses, and he spoke later than usual. When he grew up, he was always called a fool because of his strange personality and reluctance to talk.

His body immunity is low, and he is prone to fever and cold when the season changes.That's because Sheng Xia's body is a bit weak, and Zhao Jie spoils him a bit too much.

Sheng Xia has no other hobbies, but just likes listening to and singing.When he was in middle and high school, Zhao Jie was very busy and didn't have time to accompany him. Probably to make up for it, Zhao Jie would bring Sheng Xia a 'gift' every time she went home.

Harmonica, guitar, accordion, piano... Zhao Jie doesn't understand musical instruments, but the things she asks people to buy are all good things, which are frighteningly expensive.One piece is the same, slowly filling the midsummer room to the brim.

Regarding music, both Sheng Weijun and Zhao Jie are tone deaf and know nothing about it, but Sheng Xia is very talented.The only thing he could entertain in his frail adolescence was the house full of musical instruments.Fortunately, Zhao Jie's business was going well and she was willing to buy good things for him, so Sheng Xia was only under twenty, and she touched so many good and frighteningly expensive musical instruments.

In the past few years, Zhao Jie has been doing a lot of tea and specialty products, because she has to go to the place of production to see the goods and maintain customer relations. Business trips are common, and Midsummer has long been used to it.But every time Zhao Jie was on a business trip, she had to call Sheng Xia three times every morning, noon and night, and she couldn't be shaken.It is not clear whether it is a habit or mixed with other worries.

Shengxia will feel annoying when she grows up, but she doesn't dare not answer. If she doesn't answer, Zhao Jie will call the neighbors or everyone she can think of, and mobilize the people to find her son. All in all, she must contact her precious Shengxia .

What else can I do, take it.

Same for this night.Sheng Xia coped with Zhao Jie's inquiries, lying on the bed, talking on the phone until he was drowsy.

Tossing and turning is all that.Did you eat well? Did you feel any discomfort in your body?Recently added one, basically related to the college entrance examination.

College entrance examination, future, life.It was originally his business, but it didn't seem to have anything to do with him.

"Actually, I think XX University is pretty good. I've asked others, and everything is fine. I think you can still get in with your grades." Zhao Jie said very enthusiastically, "Anyway, if there is a suitable school in the local area, there is no need Go to another place to go to school, otherwise it will be inconvenient for mother to take care of you. It is far away, and the transportation here is not convenient, even if it is across the city..."

Listening to Zhao Jie's words, Sheng Xia took out a cigarette from under the pillow, took out the ashtray hidden under the bed, and matches, lit a cigarette for himself with the phone between his shoulders, "Yeah."

"Don't just be erh, errrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr", you should also pay attention to this matter, you should be more careful when you go to university in the future, don't be so distracted that you lose your phone today and lose your wallet the next, throwing it back and forth and finally losing everyone... ..."

Sheng Xia let out a puff of smoke, thinking that I don't have a say in this matter, isn't it up to you where I go to study?

But he still wanted to say: "I know," he took another breath of the cigarette and let it out, "But how can people get lost, mom, don't worry about it."

"I don't worry about who you worry about? Can I not worry about you looking like you all day..."

After hanging up the phone, Sheng Xia's sleepiness was completely gone.He took out the fever-reducing medicine and took it, smoked another cigarette, took the ashtray to the balcony, watched the smoke outside, and planned to finish smoking, and then went to sleep when the medicine took effect.

In fact, Midsummer is really uncomfortable today.It was raining yesterday, and when he got up, he found that he had a little fever.But maybe it was because Shi Ye was here, and the antipyretics he took were also very effective, Sheng Xia felt that his state was not too sluggish this day.

Sheng Xia smoked half a cigarette, and lazily twisted his neck, feeling the wind blowing very comfortably.He changed his posture, turned around and leaned on the window sill, his head facing the sky.

But there is no beautiful scenery, he can't see clearly, so Sheng Xia simply closes his eyes and enjoys the cigarette quietly.

While smoking, he was thinking about how Zhao Jie would react when he found out that he was smoking when he talked with her on the phone every day.

Maybe he will be furious, educate him for a few hours, cry a little, and then have a cold war?No, no, no, Zhao Jie can't cry. Zhao Jie hasn't cried since his father passed away.

The smoke is almost gone.

Sheng Xia exhaled the last smoke, opened his eyes and prepared to straighten up and go back to bed to sleep, but when he opened his eyes, he was hit on the forehead by a small thing.

Like a little paper ball.It didn't hurt, but he was taken aback.

Sheng Xia frowned, and squinted to look up...to the location on the roof.

Can't see clearly.

Sheng Xia is still thinking about which guest living upstairs is so unqualified and throws things around.

Then he remembered... Isn't the roof his... small attic?

With a drum in his heart, Sheng Xia quickly rushed back to the room to find glasses, put them on, poked his head out, and looked up.

clear.

Shi Ye was lying on the window sill, looking downstairs blankly, but when he saw Midsummer staring blankly at him, he smiled slowly and shallowly.

You must be laughing at me, right?Midsummer thought.

The weather was fine that night.Looking up from his position, he could see Shi Ye's handsome face, and the starry sky that became the background.

The face in sight opened his mouth, mouthed Sheng Xia, and hooked his fingers again, what he said seemed to be:

"Come up."
