A week later.

In the afternoon, Cheng Xuan lay on his side on the bed.The fan squeaked and turned, a drop of water fell from the faucet, and it hit the pile of unwashed dishes crisply, clothes were piled up on the floor and chairs, and there were unfinished instant noodles on the table. The TV was playing a program.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door: "Dong dong dong—"

Cheng Xuan closed his eyes and ignored it.

"Ah Xuan, I am uncle! Ah Xuan, open the door! Ah Xuan!"

Cheng Xuan opened his eyes, the knock on the door lasted for a long time, and the knocker seemed not to stop until he broke the door.Cheng Xuan sighed, slowly got up from the bed, and opened the door.

The uncle Cheng Xuan hadn't seen in ten years stood at the door, his clothes were loose, his face was stubbled, there was a scar at the corner of his eye, and his yellowish eyes were full of fatigue.

Seeing the impatience on Cheng Xuan's face, Chen Tian greeted awkwardly: "Hi, Ah Xuan."

"Is there something wrong?" Cheng Xuan asked indifferently.

"I heard...he died?" Chen Tian asked softly.

"They are all dead," Cheng Xuan said viciously, "Are you satisfied? Go away!" After finishing speaking, Cheng Xuan was about to close the door.Chen Tian quickly locked the door and shouted: "I'll just come back and take a look, just one look! Please, Cheng Xuan!"

Cheng Xuan hesitated for a moment, then let go of his hand, turned and walked away.Chen Tian entered the house and gently closed the door.Cheng Xuan sat in front of the TV, picked up the remote control and changed the channel.Chen Tian saw two black and white photos hanging on the wall at a glance, they were his parents.While Chen Tian was sad, he also breathed a sigh of relief, finally he didn't have to worry about seeing his father's stern and disgusted face again.

Chen Tian sat next to Cheng Xuan, and Cheng Xuan moved to the side annoyed.Chen Tian knew that his father had been instilling in Cheng Xuan the so-called justice but in fact lofty thoughts, but Cheng Xuan was still young, and Chen Tian, ​​​​who had been in the society for more than ten years, did not take Cheng Xuan seriously. Is a useless nerd.

Chen Tian smiled kindly and said: "Now you live alone, making money while studying is very hard, right? Do you want to come and live with me? Uncle is still able to support your studies."

"No need." Cheng Xuan refused decisively.

"Why? How can you have so much money alone?" Chen Tian smiled, but there was no smile in his eyes, "The money your grandparents left you is not enough for you to finish college, right?"

"Don't worry about it."

"I'm doing it for your own good. I'm your only relative now. Shouldn't we be dependent on each other?" Chen Tian sat closer.

"Oh," Cheng Xuan sneered, "Depending on each other? It's all because of you. Grandma died. From the moment grandma died, grandpa didn't want to live anymore. Everything is thanks to you. Come now Talk about being dependent? Where were you when the debt collector came? Where were you when grandma was lying in the hospital? Where were you when grandpa was in the operating room? You are not qualified to say that you are dependent, you are not worthy!"

Chen Tian's anger was faintly about to flare up, but he held back: "You think I want things to turn out like this? In the beginning, Chen Rongsheng kicked me out of the house, and I'm his own son! Which father in the world would be so cruel? I have been doing everything outside for ten years, I have been to construction sites, delivered meals, worked as a driver, and repaired cars... Is it easy for me?"

"Hmph, you've done it yourself." Cheng Xuan said disdainfully.

Chen Tian was stunned for a moment, and then joked: "You must not be possessed by Chen Rongsheng, right?"

Cheng Xuan glared at him angrily, and Chen Tian said angrily, "It's just a joke."

"Get out, I don't want to see you." Cheng Xuan said sharply.

"I won't go, it's useless for you to chase me away." Chen Tian showed his rascal side, with his hands on the sofa, as if he was doing nothing to me.

Cheng Xuan was so angry that he trembled, he got up and grabbed Chen Tian's hand, and Chen Tian grabbed the sofa, motionless.Cheng Xuan couldn't move him, so he said, "I know what you want to do. Grandpa told me not to give you any money before he died. You don't want to get a penny from me."

"I don't take any money, so I'll just stay here." Chen Tian shrugged, looking contented.

"Very well, you can't run away when the debt collector comes." Cheng Xuan said coldly.

Chen Tian showed a little timidity, but he still kept his face. Yes, facing a scoundrel like Chen Tian, ​​Cheng Xuan is really a scholar, but he can't explain why.He simply walked into his room, slammed the door and locked it, and fell on the bed.Outside the door, Chen Tian turned up the volume of the TV to the maximum, and Cheng Xuan was so angry that he covered his head with a quilt.

Chen Tian knew that Cheng Xuan was now a replica of Chen Rongsheng, and he was already familiar with dealing with this type of people, but he didn't expect that Gu Huaiyuan would be killed halfway.

"Who are you?" Through the slightly opened door, Gu Huaiyuan asked Chen Tian with awe-inspiring eyes.

Chen Tian was stunned for a moment, and asked back, "Who are you?"

The two confronted each other for a long time, Chen Tian was about to close the door unexpectedly, but Gu Huaiyuan quickly put his elbow against the door frame and pushed the door open with such overbearing force that he bounced Chen Tian away.Chen Tian fell to the ground, the pain caused his facial features to wrinkle together, and he yelled "Ouch".Gu Huaiyuan was condescending and asked sternly, "Who the hell are you? Where's Cheng Xuan?"

"I'm Uncle Cheng Xuan, who are you? So violent!" Chen Tian asked aggrievedly.

Gu Huaiyuan thought for a while, and remembered that a long time ago, the reason why Cheng Xuan was made things difficult by the gangsters in society was his uncle. "I'm Cheng Xuan's teacher." Gu Huaiyuan said.

"It turned out to be a home visit!" Chen Tian suddenly realized, got up from the ground, and while beckoning Gu Huaiyuan to sit down, he knocked on Cheng Xuan's door, "Cheng Xuan! Come out, your teacher is here!"

Cheng Xuan didn't fall asleep, he lay on the bed, stared at the ceiling in a daze, and was unmoved by Chen Tian's shout.He pondered slowly which teacher it was, but it didn't seem to matter which one it was.

There was no movement in the room, so Chen Tian smoothed things over and said, "This child may be asleep..."

"It's the first time I've met Cheng Xuan's uncle. I've offended you just now. I'm sorry." Gu Huaiyuan looked at Chen Tian while talking - sloppy clothes, pale complexion, yellowish teeth, dirty nails, eyes Lingguang and Gulu turned around, with a sly smile on his face, he seemed to be a person with a good face and a heavy cigarette addiction.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'm not welcome!" Chen Tian laughed at himself.

At this time, Cheng Xuan in the room thought of Gu Huaiyuan, he turned over, opened the door, and saw Gu Huaiyuan's familiar face.

"Cheng Xuan..." As soon as Gu Huaiyuan saw Cheng Xuan, he got up and walked over, gently rubbing his hair, "I'm sorry, I've been busy these two days, so I didn't come to see you." Cheng Xuan didn't speak, this kind of tenderness made him Some nasal acid.

"Look at you kid, you can't talk." Chen Tian teased Cheng Xuan.Cheng Xuan couldn't stand Chen Tian anymore, he took Gu Huaiyuan's hand and walked out of the house without looking back.

"Hey, where are you going..." Before Chen Tian finished asking, Cheng Xuan cut off Chen Tian's voice with a loud closing sound.

Cheng Xuan took Gu Huaiyuan's hand and walked upstairs. When he reached Gu Huaiyuan's apartment, he stopped and waited for Gu Huaiyuan to open the door. "When you want to be alone, you can come up directly. You have the key." Gu Huaiyuan opened the door and said.

"I...I don't want to go back..." Cheng Xuan stammered in a low voice.He really couldn't stand Chen Tian's attitude, and he couldn't understand why a person who had just lost his parents would still be trying his best to get an inheritance all day long. In short, he would rather trouble Gu Huaiyuan with a thick skin than see Chen Tian's face again.

"Okay, stay at my house." Gu Huaiyuan said, put his hand on Cheng Xuan's shoulder, and gently pushed him into the entrance.Cheng Xuan stopped suddenly, and he asked worriedly: "If Chen Tian can't find me, will he call the police?"

"I don't think he would. The police are probably what he fears the most," Gu Huaiyuan said.

"Also..." Cheng Xuan breathed a sigh of relief, and said to Gu Huaiyuan embarrassedly, "I'm sorry to trouble you again."

"Just let me be this good person." Gu Huaiyuan rubbed Cheng Xuan's hair again.

Two days later, the admission results came out, and Cheng Xuan was admitted to the School of Architecture of Ji University as he wished.

"Congratulations." Gu Huaiyuan said.

"Thank you," Cheng Xuan's eyes were indifferent, and after a pause, he asked, "What do you want to eat this afternoon?"

"As long as you do it, I can do it."

Cheng Xuan opened the refrigerator, looked at it and said, "Let's have beef noodles..."

"it is good."

"There's no more gas, I'll go down and buy it." Cheng Xuan walked towards the entrance, but was held back by Gu Huaiyuan.

"You wait, I'll go down and buy."

Gu Huaiyuan left, and Cheng Xuan returned to the kitchen, washing the vegetables with his head bowed.It's been two days since I lived at Gu Huaiyuan's house, and Chen Tian from downstairs hasn't come to my house yet, but it's probably only a matter of time.Mingming helped Chen Tian bear a debt of 20 yuan, but he didn't want to go back because he had a family. Cheng Xuan felt that he was too cowardly, and he had to find a way to drive Chen Tian away as soon as possible.While washing, Cheng Xuan's tears dripped on the vegetable leaves.Cheng Xuan wiped his tears vigorously with his sleeve, he bit his lip, and his thoughts of grandpa and grandma grew deeper and deeper in his heart.

Gu Huaiyuan didn't want to meet Chen Tian, ​​but the two ran into each other in the supermarket.Gu Huaiyuan just turned around to avoid it, but Chen Tian ran over and grabbed Gu Huaiyuan's arm, and shouted, "Teacher, Cheng Xuan is gone! He hasn't come back since he left home two days ago! Teacher! , Cheng Xuan must have had an accident, right?" Chen Tian was a little agitated, and his voice made passers-by turn their heads.

"Cheng Xuan told me that he was going to stay at a classmate's house for a few days, and he might be back soon." Gu Huaiyuan's tone was indifferent.

"Oh, so that's the case, then... Which classmate is it? Where is the family?" Chen Tian asked.

"I don't know, but I am very relieved of Cheng Xuan. After all, he is a worry-free child." Gu Huaiyuan secretly grabbed Chen Tian's hand and said, "My wife is out of oil for cooking, so I have to go back quickly." .”

Chen Tian looked surprised: "I didn't expect you, teacher, to be 'strict with your wife'!"

"I'm laughing." Gu Huaiyuan walked away expressionlessly, and in order to prevent Chen Tian from following, he quickened his pace.Back in the apartment, he put it on the table and said seriously: "Cheng Xuan, let's move to the school."

"Ah?" Cheng Xuan stared blankly at Gu Huaiyuan.

"You have to live in the school after school starts, so you might as well move there earlier."

"But the school dormitory still doesn't allow freshmen to live in it?"

"It's okay, just live in my classroom dormitory."

Cheng Xuan thought of Lin Jue, the teacher who had a strong and special feeling for Gu Huaiyuan.He hesitated, should he live with that person?

"As for Mr. Lin, you don't have to worry," Gu Huaiyuan said, "he has already been transferred."

"Transferred?"

"If you have no objections, pack up your things and leave this afternoon." Gu Huaiyuan said seriously.

Cheng Xuan still hesitated, but finally nodded.If he could change to a new environment, Cheng Xuan felt that he would feel better.

Cheng Xuan quietly returned to his apartment, and it happened that Chen Tian was not there, so Cheng Xuan quickly packed his luggage, picked up some clothes, picked out a few books, took out a bag of money under the hidden bed, and finally took it away. Take away the photos of grandparents and grandparents.Before leaving, Cheng Xuan still left a note for Chen Tian: "I'm leaving, I want money, earn it yourself!"

Cheng Xuan ran downstairs with his luggage, and Gu Huaiyuan was already waiting for him in the car.When Cheng Xuan got into the car, Chen Tian appeared.Chen Tian was very surprised when he saw Cheng Xuan in the car. He ran over and shouted: "Cheng Xuan! Cheng Xuan!"

Cheng Xuan quickly rolled up the car window, Gu Huaiyuan stepped on the accelerator, and the car drove away quickly. Chen Tian couldn't let go of him: "Hey! Where are you going, Cheng Xuan? Cheng Xuan, come down for me, you bastard! Cheng Xuan!" After walking far away, Chen Tiantian stopped panting, and kept cursing: "Stinky boy, damn it, you actually ran away for me."

Chen Tian went back to the apartment again and found the note Cheng Xuan left on the table. His eyes were red with anger, he tore up the note, kicked over the coffee table, and cursed: "Damn it!"

In the car, Cheng Xuan hugged his schoolbag tightly. Inside the schoolbag were photos of his grandparents.

Gu Huaiyuan glanced at Cheng Xuan in the rearview mirror, and comforted him: "The school has access control, your uncle won't bother you for a while."

Cheng Xuan lowered his head and whispered, "I'm sorry to trouble you again."

"It's okay." Gu Huaiyuan said softly.

Along the way, Cheng Xuan's mind was buzzing, until Gu Huaiyuan opened the car door to remind him that he had arrived, and Cheng Xuan raised his head.The moment he got off the car, Cheng Xuan felt as if he had been in a lifetime when he touched the sultry air without air conditioning.Looking around, it is the scenery of Ji Da in my memory... But the mood is completely different.

"This is the key." Gu Huaiyuan took Cheng Xuan's hand and put a key in his palm.

Cheng Xuan held the key tightly, and whispered, "Thank you, Huaiyuan."

"It's very hot, let's go upstairs." Gu Huaiyuan said as he walked upstairs, Cheng Xuan followed behind him.After entering the dormitory, Gu Huaiyuan opened a door and said, "This is your room." Cheng Xuan walked in and saw a bed, a table, and a wardrobe, clean and tidy.

"The quilt and sheets have been changed, you should have a good rest today." Gu Huaiyuan said.

"Okay, thank you."

Gu Huaiyuan frowned slightly: "You don't need to be polite, and don't think too much, think about things in the future slowly, take your time."

"Okay, thank you..." Cheng Xuan stopped, raised his head and smiled bitterly, "I'm sorry, I have nothing now, but I will work hard and will definitely pay you back in the future."

Gu Huaiyuan sighed softly, why the more he helped Cheng Xuan, the more he was alienated by Cheng Xuan? He shook his head helplessly, turned around and walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. When he closed the door, he still couldn't help but said with concern: "What's the matter?" If you need it, tell me."

"Okay." Cheng Xuan watched Gu Huaiyuan close the door, and said softly, "Thank you."

That night, Cheng Xuan kept his eyes open and couldn't fall asleep at all.The loneliness and exhaustion during the college entrance examination, the earnest teaching of the grandfather, the busy figure of the grandmother in the kitchen, and Chen Tian's attitude of begging for nothing, everything in the past was messed up in Cheng Xuan's mind, and the blurred became clear, clear It seemed that there was an invisible thread clearly pulling Cheng Xuan's heart, even though Cheng Xuan's eyeballs were in pain, he still refused to close them, and the drowsiness like fog would suddenly disappear.I don't know how long I've been lying there, when birds chirping outside the window.Cheng Xuan tossed and turned, still unable to fall asleep, his mouth was dry, and finally he got up and walked out of the room to find water.

He was not familiar with this place, and he couldn't find the light switch in the dark.He groped, found the sofa, and took a step forward, but something stopped him. He leaned over and groped, and touched a warm arm. At this time, the sky outside the window was brighter. Shimmer saw Gu Huaiyuan clearly sleeping on the sofa.

How can I sleep here?Cheng Xuan turned back to the room, took the quilt to cover Gu Huaiyuan, then looked around, picked up the cup on the table and drank it in big gulps. Cheng Xuan didn't know it was beer until the cold liquid entered his throat.The gas-filled liquid was hard to swallow, and the bitterness spread on the tip of his tongue. Cheng Xuan couldn't help coughing, and accidentally woke up Gu Huaiyuan.

Gu Huaiyuan rubbed his eyes, yawned, and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Sorry to wake you up, I'm just thirsty..." Cheng Xuan quickly put down his glass.

"Ah, there's beer in the glass." Gu Huaiyuan sat up, saw the quilt on his body, and was taken aback.

"I... accidentally drank it..." Cheng Xuan blushed slightly.

Gu Huaiyuan got up and walked into the kitchen, took out a bottle of mineral water from the refrigerator, unscrewed the cap and handed it to Cheng Xuan, who thanked him.

"Did you not sleep well?" Gu Huaiyuan asked.

"kindness……"

"It seems that you have to get busy. Help me sort out the materials this afternoon," Gu Huaiyuan pushed Cheng Xuan's shoulder into the room, "Now, let's sleep for a while." Before Cheng Xuan could say anything, Gu Huaiyuan had already closed the door After a second, the door was opened again, and Gu Huaiyuan took the quilt and came in: "Forget about this."

"Wait... Huaiyuan, I can't sleep, can I start sorting out the materials now." Cheng Xuan asked. '

"No." Gu Huaiyuan spread out the quilt, got in by himself, then patted the empty space beside him, and said seriously, "I'm sleepy, if you lie here, maybe my sleepiness will infect you."

"Ah?" Cheng Xuan was full of doubts, but he lay down anyway.Gu Huaiyuan stretched out his kind hands to cover Cheng Xuan's eyes, and said softly, "Close your eyes." Cheng Xuan closed his eyes obediently, and Gu Huaiyuan whispered, "Don't open them, just close them." After a while, Cheng Xuan felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and he couldn't open them even if he wanted to. A heavy drowsiness hit him...

Hearing Cheng Xuan's even breathing, Gu Huaiyuan closed his eyes in peace.

In the dream, Cheng Xuan dreamed of Gu Huaiyuan.In the dusk, Gu Huaiyuan's face was unclear, Cheng Xuan lowered his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't have the ability to pay you back 20..."

Gu Huaiyuan sneered and asked, "Then... what should I do?"

Ah... what should I do?Cheng Xuan's head was swollen faintly.

"I'd better call the police." Gu Huaiyuan's voice was unhurried, but it hit Cheng Xuan's trembling heart deeply.

Call the police? ... Am I going to jail? ... Cheng Xuan felt that he was about to lose his breath.If you go to jail, what will your grandfather expect of you?What about studies?What about the future?Could it be that he will live with this kind of stain all his life?Might as well...

"Cheng Xuan, get up! Cheng Xuan!"

Cheng Xuan opened his eyes suddenly, sweating profusely, he was still in shock.Gu Huaiyuan looked at him worriedly, and asked with concern: "Did you have a nightmare?"

Cheng Xuan shook his head and said, "I'm fine." He got up unsteadily, ready to wash his face.

"Are you really okay?" Gu Huaiyuan asked behind him.

"It's okay." Cheng Xuan said listlessly.

Cheng Xuan turned on the tap and let the water wash his hair.The dream just now still remained in his mind, and Cheng Xuan covered his eyes with his hands mockingly.What was he thinking about?What is losing hope now?Let Gu Huaiyuan's 20 yuan go to waste?Maybe the road ahead will be long, and it may be difficult to earn money, but we haven't started yet, how can we give up lightly?Cheng Xuan clenched his fists.

"Let me sort out the materials!" Cheng Xuan said to Gu Huaiyuan who was flipping through the documents.When Gu Huaiyuan saw Cheng Xuan walking towards him wiping his wet hair, his eyes became firmer. The corners of Gu Huaiyuan's mouth rose slightly, and he said, "Okay, these are for you, sort them according to the categories I listed."

Cheng Xuan sat down, flipped through the folder, and found that these were all lesson preparation materials handwritten by Gu Huaiyuan, a thick stack.I thought he was immersed in his own research, but he didn't expect that he actually cared about teaching students.Cheng Xuan concentrated on reading the document, Gu Huaiyuan poured a cup of hot milk for Cheng Xuan after finishing the task at hand, and then went to prepare lunch.

A whole afternoon passed, and Cheng Xuan let out a long sigh of relief after putting the last category of information into the folder.

"Finished?" Gu Huaiyuan asked.

"kindness."

"Then wait a moment, I'll finish writing here soon." Gu Huaiyuan pushed back the glasses that he didn't usually wear.Cheng Xuan leaned over to see what Gu Huaiyuan was writing.Gu Huaiyuan saw a fluffy head approaching from the corner of his eye, he rubbed Cheng Xuan's soft hair and said, "I'm recording the grades for the students." Cheng Xuan nodded, seeing that nearly half of the people who failed the pass, Cheng Xuan couldn't help but wonder Gu Huaiyuan's students felt sorry.

In the evening, Gu Huaiyuan took Cheng Xuan for a walk in the park near the library.There were few street lights in the university, and it was a bit dim, and the number of students coming and going was also a little sparse, probably because everyone went home during the summer vacation.Cheng Xuan walked behind Gu Huaiyuan, and the two walked on the road in tandem.Occasionally, a few students passed by and greeted Gu Huaiyuan in surprise: "Hello, Teacher Gu!" Gu Huaiyuan nodded at them.Cheng Xuan thought, he looks like an associate professor...

Cheng Xuan wondered if he had saved the world in his previous life, so he had the luck to meet Gu Huaiyuan in this life.When Cheng Xuan needed help the most, it was Gu Huaiyuan who extended a helping hand. Cheng Xuan wondered how he could get such care.If there was no Gu Huaiyuan, what would Cheng Xuan be like now?Cheng Xuan didn't dare to think about it, he finally got over those sorrows, like climbing a cliff, he didn't dare to look back.But why... would there be such a person?Cheng Xuan looked at Gu Huaiyuan's back.

"Hey, Huaiyuan, why are you helping me like this?" Cheng Xuan summoned up his courage and asked.

Gu Huaiyuan stopped, turned to look at Cheng Xuan, sighed quietly and said, "As expected, you don't remember."

Cheng Xuan was stunned, Gu Huaiyuan looked up at Yuan Yue, and said, "Nine years ago, I was also at the scene of your parents' car accident." Cheng Xuan's eyes widened, and he looked at Gu Huaiyuan's profile in disbelief.

"That day, I went home with my dad, and I didn't expect to encounter a series of rear-end car accidents. At the critical moment, my dad protected me. For this reason, his arm was broken, and I only had a slight concussion. In the hospital, I saw you..." Gu Huaiyuan's gentle remark made Cheng Xuan's distant memory instantly clear.

In the serial rear-end car accident nine years ago, 11 people were killed and 34 were injured.During the typhoon, there were wrecks of vehicles on the road, and the rain washed away the blood.Cheng Xuan passed out in the arms of his parents, and his mother still protected him tightly at the last moment until the ambulance personnel arrived.On the way to the hospital, Cheng Xuan didn't cry, he was too scared to make a sound.After treating the wound in the hospital, Cheng Xuan asked: "Where are my parents?" The nurse replied: "You stay here obediently, your parents will come to you soon." Cheng Xuan said meekly: "Okay .”

Cheng Xuan remembered that there was another injured elder brother in that ward.When he saw Cheng Xuan alone, the big brother called him over gently to comfort Cheng Xuan.Cheng Xuan couldn't speak, so the big brother patiently taught him to make a sound, but as soon as Cheng Xuan opened his mouth, he burst into tears, like a faucet that couldn't be turned off, and Cheng Xuan cried like a mess.After crying, he finally recovered his voice.The big brother's face was already blurred, but now it suddenly became clear.

"Ah, at that time... so it was you!" A mist floated in front of Cheng Xuan's eyes.

"It's me," Gu Huaiyuan sighed, "It's been nine years, but you haven't changed at all." Cheng Xuan was a little moved. The person in front of him had met nine years ago.

"Go on, there is a cafe in front, do you want to buy something to drink?" Gu Huaiyuan said as he walked forward, Cheng Xuan hurriedly caught up, and finally showed a smile: "It's nice to meet you!"

Gu Huaiyuan looked slightly sideways at Cheng Xuan.This smile, long gone.
