The sky was raging with raindrops.

Su Yuan wrapped his head with his school uniform jacket and quickened his pace.

He crossed one street after another and finally walked into an old residential area.

"Xiao Su?"

As soon as he entered the gate of the community, a kind and gentle voice came from behind him. Su Yuan turned his head and found that it was Grandma Wang who lived opposite him.

Grandma Wang held an umbrella in one hand and a basket in the other. She had white hair and a turbid but kind look in her eyes.

Seeing Su Yuan, the wrinkles on her face were stretched out and she showed a kind smile: "Are you back? You kid, you don't even know how to open an umbrella. What if you get wet?"

As she said, Grandma Wang handed the umbrella in her hand to Su Yuan.

"No need, grandma, we'll be home soon." Su Yuan thought that he had been wet all the way, so it didn't matter if he took a few steps.

"Take it, you'll catch a cold!" The old lady said stubbornly.

The older generation insists on these points the most: never get wet in the rain, eat on time, go to bed early, and eat less fast food outside...

Su Yuan reluctantly took the umbrella, held it over their heads, and helped the old man walk into the community.

"Xiao Su, didn't you go home last week? Grandma made dumplings and wanted to send them to you." Grandma Wang said with a smile.

"Ah, I stayed at my classmate's house last week, thank you grandma." Su Yuan scratched his head embarrassedly.

"My classmate's house... My classmate's house is good." Grandma Wang murmured and nodded, with a trace of heartache in her turbid old eyes.

She knew that the boy who lived next door to her was an orphan, and he was only eleven or twelve years old when he first moved in.

Generally, little boys of this age have no ability to take care of themselves.

But he has to start living independently, wash and cook by himself, register for school by himself, go to the hospital by himself when he is sick...

So the neighbors in the community have always taken special care of Su Yuan, often sending him some food and clothing, and inviting him to their homes for dinner during festivals.

Su Yuan helped the old man walk into an apartment building. The corridor was dark and damp, with sundries and garbage piled up, and the walls on both sides were covered with small advertisements and some graffiti.

The two slowly walked up to the third floor, and when they came to Grandma Wang's door, she suddenly grabbed Su Yuan's hand.

"Come to grandma's house for dinner later."

"Don't bother, grandma." Su Yuan felt exhausted and just wanted to go home and have a good sleep.

"You just came back, there must be no food at home. Grandma bought too much food today, and it will go bad tomorrow if you can't finish it!" The old man held Su Yuan's hand tightly, as if he would not let him go if he didn't agree.

If it breaks tomorrow, what should I do if I don't come back today...Su Yuan felt funny and felt warm in his heart.

He couldn't refuse the old man's kindness anymore, so he smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go home and take a bath and come back."

"Okay, go quickly, don't catch a cold." Seeing Su Yuan agreed, the old lady smiled and took out the key to open the door.

Su Yuan also opened the door of his house.

The room was a little dim, and there was a faint smell of mold in the air.

Su Yuan didn't rush to turn on the light, but walked to the window, opened the curtains, and looked at the dark sky outside the house through the glass.

"It's getting dark earlier and earlier..." he murmured.

Jiang Yan City belongs to the south. It's early summer now, and it usually gets dark after seven o'clock in the evening.

But it's less than six o'clock now, and if you don't turn on the lights in the house, it will affect your vision.

This change is too unusual... Is it caused by the spirit resentment?

He couldn't help but think of what the long-haired young man said, "Jiangcheng City is already completely dark."

If that's what he meant, then maybe one day in the future, the whole world will be plunged into a pitch-black darkness...

"Forget it, don't think about it." Su Yuan shook his head and walked into the bathroom to take a shower.

After taking a shower, Su Yuan threw his wet clothes into the washing machine, changed into a clean shirt, and began to clean the house.

It had been a while since he came back to live, and a layer of dust had accumulated on the furniture.

Shortly after he was discharged from the mental hospital, Su Yuan was adopted.

But the strange thing is that he has never seen the person who adopted him. He only knows that the other party's surname is Pei, and Su Yuan has always called him Mr. Pei.

The house he lives in now was arranged by Mr. Pei. In addition, the other party will pay him a living allowance on time every month.

Su Yuan is very grateful to Mr. Pei. If it weren't for him, he might be shaking his hands on Kuaishou now.

After all, no one will adopt an orphan with a history of mental illness.

But Mr. Pei never showed up, and he didn't even have his contact information.

Su Yuan guessed that Mr. Pei might be a wealthy man who quietly did charity.Hao, he was just one of the people he helped.

......

After cleaning the house, Su Yuan knocked on the door next door.

"Come on, Xiao Su." It was Grandma Wang who opened the door, and she still had a kind smile on her face.

"Come in, come in, you're just in time, wash your hands and you can eat."

"Okay, grandma."

The night slowly fell, and the warm lights illuminated the living room. Su Yuan sat at the dining table, and the rich fragrance drifted into his nose.

Three exquisite dishes were already placed on the table. At this time, Grandma Wang came out of the kitchen with a pot of chicken soup.

"Just stewed chicken soup, drink it while it's hot." The old man put the chicken soup on the table and said with a smile.

It seems that the dishes are really bought too much...Su Yuan took three porcelain bowls, first served a bowl of chicken soup to Grandma Wang, and asked with a smile: "Grandma, so many dishes, can the three of us finish it?"

Grandma Wang's son and daughter-in-law are working outside, leaving only her and her granddaughter Chen Qian at home.

Chen Qian is two years younger than Su Yuan. She just entered the first year of high school this year. She is a quiet and shy girl.

She often helps Grandma Wang to bring some food to Su Yuan. Every time they meet, Chen Qian will blush and lower her head, and speak stutteringly.

Su Yuan was deeply impressed by this lovely girl next door.

"How can there be three people? There are only two of us, so Xiao Su, you have to eat more. You are still growing up, and you need to keep up with nutrition..." The old man smiled.

"Two?"

The chicken soup exudes an attractive aroma. Su Yuan gently blew a few hot airs at the mouth of the bowl and asked casually: "Didn't Chen Qian come back today?"

After this, there was no reply for a long time.

Su Yuan raised his head in confusion, and he saw a trace of confusion on the old man's weathered face.

"Who is Chen Qian?" Grandma Wang asked.

"..."

"..."

The smile on Su Yuan's face disappeared little by little, his face was as heavy as water, and no expression could be seen.

He lowered his head and stopped talking.

"What's wrong, Xiao Su? Are you feeling unwell?" Grandma Wang asked with concern.

"It's okay." Su Yuan picked up the bowl and drank the chicken soup in big gulps:

"It tastes good."
