Indiscriminate

When they left Uncle Ming's shop, the two were still detained by the old man many times.To Shi Shilei's surprise, Fu Qinruo didn't act like he did when he treated himself: he showed a embarrassed look, and finally agreed.

He refused very politely, Shi Shilei even heard the master's words to his servants.This made him a little puzzled on the way back to his grandfather's house, and couldn't help turning his head to look at Fu Qinruo several times.

Grandma Fu has prepared a hearty meal, and they can eat it as soon as they get home after washing their hands.

Shi Shilei washed his hands, while talking to grandma about the situation in Uncle Ming's shop, as well as the umbrella and the fan.

"Qin Ruo hasn't written for a while, right? Can you still see the paintings? Don't be ashamed of yourself." No more proud than Shi Shilei, Grandma Fu winked at Fu Qinruo who was serving rice next to her.

Shi Shilei said in surprise: "Where? Fu Qinruo's paintings are very beautiful."

Grandma smiled and said, "He is talented, but he only knows how to play and do miscellaneous things. After a round of busy work, there is no result."

I thought what grandma said was just a joke, but when it came to this sentence, even Shi Shilei didn't know what to say.He secretly looked at Fu Qinruo, only to see that he just lowered his head slightly, but did not refute anything.Shi Shilei sighed inwardly, scratched his cheek, and brought all the food to the table.

It should also be because of the mention of learning calligraphy and painting when I was a child. At dinner, Grandma Fu asked who Shi Shilei learned calligraphy from. .”

"En." Grandpa nodded, then raised his head to look at Shi Shilei, waiting for his answer.

Shi Shilei didn't want to mention learning calligraphy and painting, but when the old man asked, he had no choice but to say: "It's a master from our local area, and his handwriting is quite good."

"What's your name?" Grandma asked again.

His heart was blocked, but facing his grandma's smiling face, he could only bite the bullet and tell the truth: "Liu Ying."

Hearing this, even Fu Qinruo, who had been eating in silence, stopped his chopsticks and looked at Shi Shilei with surprise.

Shi Shilei knew it would be like this, and raised the corners of his mouth, not smiling.

"It turned out to be Zhongming." Grandma Fu laughed when she heard it, and said to her husband, "No wonder his European style is so good, Liu Zhongming brought it out." She paused, then asked Shi Shilei, "You learned from him how long?"

His whole body was itchy like a rash, but he still forced a smile and said, "Eleven or two years."

"Closed disciple?" Even Grandpa couldn't help asking.

Shi Shilei kicked Fu Qinruo's leg under the table, and nodded with a smile: "He adopted me for a while."

"Have you seen him?" Fu Qinruo interrupted without waiting for grandma to ask again.

She nodded with a smile, gave her grandfather a look, and said: "Before I retired, I went to meetings several times and saw him." She thought about it, and said with emotion: "But it's no wonder that Shi Shi I don’t want to follow him anymore. Both your grandfather and I feel that Zhongming is indeed a bit stricter and difficult to get along with. It’s hard to live with such a cheerful child as Shi Shi. —— But have you ever gone back to visit him? ?”

Seeing that the topic could end, Shi Shilei nodded repeatedly.

"Well, that's good. I'll be a teacher for a day and a father for the rest of my life, not to mention that he adopted you, even if we don't live together anymore, we should always go back and say hello." Grandma Fu nodded with satisfaction, and said, "But I It's also groundless to worry about, you are so obedient, you must still understand this."

He smiled shyly and lowered his head.

After finally scribbling about the past, Shi Shilei broke out in a cold sweat, and even suspected a rash on his back.In short, his heart was in a state of agitation, and he didn't have the mood to joke anymore, so he just focused on eating.Not long after, Shi Shilei saw an extra piece of fish in the bowl, raised his head, and saw Fu Qinruo's hand retracting the chopsticks.

Shi Shilei was thinking, he should ask him when he will return to Xitang after dinner.It's not that he doesn't like staying here, his grandparents are good people, but if they ask further, Shi Shilei really can't guarantee that he can still have a good temper.

Just thinking about this, the phone in his pocket rang, Shi Shilei was startled, and quickly put down the bowl.He took out his mobile phone and saw that it was a familiar name, he couldn't help but be taken aback.

"Grandpa and grandma, I'll answer the phone." Shi Shilei got up and left the table after speaking, and walked quickly to the courtyard behind.

"Hello? Keke." Shi Shilei forgot the stone steps outside the threshold and almost fell.

Chang Ke whispered on the other end of the phone: "Brother."

Shi Shilei didn't hear right, so he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong? Has something happened at school?"

He hesitated to speak for a long while before hesitating, "I'm in Hangzhou, by the West Lake. I'll come and see you."

Hearing that Shi Shilei felt as if a big stone had sunk in his heart, he was stunned for a long time, but still couldn't come to his senses: "You, what are you talking about? Are you in Hangzhou? When did you come? What are you doing here? You don't have classes anymore. ?"

"I..." Chang Ke seemed to take a deep breath, let out a long breath, and said, "Brother, I miss you."

"You fucking..." Shi Shilei's head was in a daze, and the words had already blurted out, "Do you think I won't think about it at home? What are you doing in Hangzhou? I didn't give you money to buy a bus ticket." He held back his anger and tried to reason. Clearing his mind, he said vigilantly, "You didn't do something in school, did you?"

"Brother!" He shouted, and then said softly, "I, I don't want to study anymore. I can't read any more."

Shi Shilei listened to him talking for a while, and answered irrelevant questions, and couldn't help feeling terrified, angry and scared.He covered his forehead and walked around the yard wearing wooden clogs. After finally standing still, he asked, "When did you arrive in Hangzhou? It's late at night, have you found a place to stay?"

Chang Ke was silent for a few seconds before saying, "Brother, I'm here to look for you. Didn't you see me?"

"I'm not in Hangzhou right now! Brother, do yourself a favor and have some brains. If you come to me, don't ask me if I'm here first." Shi Shilei accidentally stepped on a puddle, was frozen, and suddenly thought It’s the first month of the month when I wake up, “Hurry up and find a place to live, you’re going to freeze to death if you stay by the West Lake in such a cold day?”

"I..." Chang Ke said in a weeping voice, "I have no money. It's the end of the month, and I don't have much left for living expenses. I also borrowed the fare from my classmates."

When Shi Shilei heard this, he was speechless.

Probably because he hadn't spoken for a long time, Chang Ke cautiously called again: "Brother?"

"It's so noisy!" Shi Shilei couldn't help cursing, "I won't tell you anymore, you won't even have your phone bill later, so I can't find you if you look for it. Find me an all-night fast food restaurant nearby." Next, wait for me for a few hours, I will go back now."

Chang Ke heard it, and immediately responded excitedly: "Yes!"

Shi Shilei was so angry that he hung up the phone and walked into the house.

He didn't dare to go back to the dining room directly, but called Fu Qinruo quietly outside.

Fortunately, Fu Qinruo heard it soon, turned around and saw him beckoning at him furtively, put down the bowl and chopsticks and came out.Shi Shilei smiled embarrassedly at his grandparents, and when Fu Qinruo came out, he immediately pulled him aside.

"Brother Qinruo, I'm going back." Shi Shilei said pitifully.

Fu Qinruo blinked in surprise: "When?"

"Now." He complained with a depressed face, "Oh, my brother suddenly came to look for me, and I don't know what happened. He is in Hangzhou now. I don't worry, I want to go back and have a look now."

"Brother?" Fu Qinruo was still surprised, but instead of asking, he nodded, "There should be a shuttle bus to go now. Then you go back."

Shi Shilei nodded again and again: "Then I'll go upstairs to pack my things first, can you tell my grandparents for me? I'll talk about it later when I come down."

"Okay, you go." He helped Shi Shilei's arm.

Knowing that Shi Shilei was leaving soon, when he packed his backpack and went downstairs, his grandparents were already waiting in the store.

"I'm in such a hurry, I don't want to eat anymore?" Grandma Fu said and gave Shi Shilei a bento box, "Take it, don't be hungry on the way."

Shi Shilei was stunned, hurriedly took it, and said guiltily: "I'm sorry, I really didn't know he would come suddenly. You see, it's very cold outside at night. He doesn't even have money to stay in the hotel. A high school student , I won’t go back for fear of accidents.”

"A child from an orphanage too?" she asked.

He nodded shyly, and said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, I'm sorry to interrupt your meal."

"It's okay. Let Fu Qinruo take you to the station. If you want to leave, go early, and the road is safe. Report that you are safe when you arrive." Grandpa instructed.

"Hey, I got it." He took off his backpack and stuffed the bento box inside. After looking around for a while, he realized that Fu Qinruo had already driven his electric car out and was waiting outside the door.

Shi Shilei said goodbye to the two old people while carrying the bag on his back: "Goodbye, grandpa and grandma!"

"Come back often." Grandma Fu sent him to the door and told Fu Qinruo, "Drive carefully, don't be greedy. Shi Shi, separate your wallet and card, and your mobile phone. If you lose it, it will be difficult to contact you."

"Hey! I got it!" Shi Shilei sat on the back seat of Fu Qinruo's car, and waved to his grandparents again, "Goodbye, grandpa, goodbye, grandma, I'll see you again when I'm free!"

On the way to the station, Shi Shilei put his arms around Fu Qinruo's waist, and once again realized that he was very thin, and he probably didn't eat enough, and his stomach was still flat.Shi Shilei rubbed his stomach, making the car shake twice.

"What's the trouble?" Fu Qinruo couldn't help turning around and said.

Shi Shilei pursed his mouth and rested his chin on his shoulder: "Brother Qinruo, you need to grow some flesh."

He laughed: "Understood, you too."

"It's so annoying, why did he come all of a sudden?" Shi Shilei lowered his head in dissatisfaction, rubbing his forehead on Fu Qinruo's back.

Fu Qinruo turned his head to look at him again, and asked, "I heard from you just now, are you still a high school student?"

"Well, first year of high school. The key point of bargaining." Shi Shilei said this, and leaned on Fu Qinruo's shoulder again.

For the rest of the journey, neither Fu Qinruo nor Shi Shilei spoke.

Before parting, Fu Qinruo gave Shi Shilei all the cash on his body.Time was running out, Shi Shilei grabbed the banknotes and before he could put them in his wallet, he was urged by the driver to get into the car.

It happened to be raining, he sat down and wanted to wave goodbye to Fu Qinruo who was standing outside, but the car windows were blurred by the rain.

Shi Shilei didn't know if he had brought a raincoat, but suddenly remembered this, and was about to get up, when a fat woman with a baby in her arms had already sat down beside him.The child kept crying and got caught in the rain. Both mother and child were in a panic.Seeing this, Shi Shilei had no choice but to sit back.

Fu Qinruo didn't leave.He stood under the canopy, his voice was vague from the window, his dark coat was not obvious at night, but Shi Shilei could still see him clearly.

When the car was about to drive, Shi Shilei received a message from Fu Qinruo, which said: Pay attention to safety, report your safety when you arrive, tell me if you need anything.

He licked his dry lips and wanted to reply, but the phone had lost signal.

Even the crying baby fell asleep after being comforted by the mother. The lights in the bus were not turned on, and Shi Shilei could only vaguely see the face of a passenger across the aisle illuminated by the mobile phone screen.

It seemed that everyone was drowsy, but Shi Shilei did not feel sleepy.He suddenly remembered that there was still money in his pocket that Fu Qinruo had given him earlier, so he took out one by one, tidied them up, and put them in his wallet.

Chang Ke, like Shi Shilei, was adopted before.

The adoptive parents tried for several years before adopting him but failed to conceive a child. The doctor also thought they could not conceive, so they came to the orphanage and brought Chang Ke home.But after their own child was born, they no longer had the leisure to take care of and raise Chang Ke, so they sent him back.

That's the attitude of returning the product after the trial period, which left a shadow in Chang Ke's heart.Since then, he has been reluctant to be adopted.And when it comes to adopting a child, the younger the child, the more advantage he has. Chang Ke is not outstanding and well-behaved, and his mouth is not sweet. When he returned to the orphanage, he was already ten years old, and basically no one wanted to adopt him.

Shi Shilei remembered the night he fled back to the orphanage, and Chang Ke still opened the door for him.

After getting off the car, the rain intensified, and the cotton boots that Grandma Fu had dried for Shi Shilei earlier got wet again.Shi Shilei was holding an umbrella, and sometimes raindrops drifted into his neck, making him shrug his shoulders in the cold.He called Chang Ke and learned that he was hiding from the rain in a foreign fast food restaurant. He was not familiar with the place, and he didn't even know the exact location.Fortunately, Shi Shilei found him after hearing him talk a little about the surrounding environment.

He pushed open the store door, and saw Chang Ke sitting in the seat closest to the door without any effort.Shi Shilei was secretly taken aback. Unexpectedly, after not seeing him for more than a year, Chang Ke's eyebrows relaxed, shed a lot of childishness, and looked even more mature than himself.But Shi Shilei was small in the first place, so he didn't take it to heart. Seeing that Chang Ke was waving at him excitedly, he walked over with a cold face.

"Brother." Chang Ke sat a little in front of the seat.

Shi Shilei was about to say something to him, but seeing his messy hair, haggard face, and a pair of obvious dark circles, he swallowed his breath and asked dryly, "You didn't stand up, did you? "

Chang Ke was taken aback and nodded.

"Fuck..." Shi Shilei held his forehead, and after a long while, he saw that Chang Ke was shrunk, looking very tense, he clicked his tongue in his heart, got up and said, "Come on, come back with me. Come on, come on!" I don’t wear more clothes, and I have to take medicine and injections when I catch a cold.”

Chang Ke stood up and said with a smile: "It's okay, I have hard bones and don't get sick easily."

"Hehe." Shi Shilei uttered two syllables with a half-smile, and then glanced at his dilapidated schoolbag, the fabric on the strap had been torn apart.

The rented house in the basement has only been half a month since I haven't returned, and it's already stuffy and damp, and it's colder when I walk in than outside.Chang Ke was stunned outside the door for a while, Shi Shilei turned on the phone's light, and said inside: "What are you doing? Disgusted? You can only live here if you come to see me."

"No..." Chang Ke hurried in, kicked the bench next to the door, and almost fell down.

Shi Shilei finally found the light switch, but when he pressed it, there was no light.He was startled, and pressed a few more times, but it didn't turn on.I remembered that I was in arrears with the electricity bill before I left. Could it be that the landlord has cut off the electricity?Thinking this way, Shi Shilei grabbed a hair dryer next to him and plugged it in, and it didn't work after turning it on.

"Brother, do you live in this kind of place?" Chang Ke asked in disbelief before noticing anything unusual.

"I can't even live in this kind of place now." Shi Shilei put the hair dryer aside and saw that it was past eleven o'clock.He walked out the door, took out his wallet, and checked how much money was left in it by the light at the intersection.

Fortunately, Fu Qinruo gave him New Year's money, and gave him several hundred yuan before parting. Shi Shilei planned to let Chang Ke go back after tonight, and turned to him who came out and said: "The house is out of electricity, let's go outside. Stay overnight."

Chang Ke was stunned for a moment, then nodded with a smile, his eyes were like a pair of crescent moons.

Fortunately, it is the off-season for tourism, even the hotels near the West Lake are not crowded.Chang Ke didn't bring an umbrella, the two of them fought together, and when they arrived at the hotel, they were mostly drenched.Shi Shilei didn't wait for Chang Ke to put away the umbrella, and walked to the front desk first, asking if there were any vacancies.

"Ah!" Shi Shilei rubbed his nose, took out his ID card and handed it to the front desk.

Chang Ke came over and said with concern: "Brother, are you okay?"

"It's okay." Shi Shilei responded casually, and when he turned to look at Chang Ke, he was surprised to find that he had grown a little taller, not the Douding look he had in junior high school, "Show me your ID card."

He stuffed his wallet at the bottom of his schoolbag. When he opened the schoolbag, he saw several pieces of clothes inside. It really looked like he had come to join Shi Shilei.Shi Shilei was still confused, not knowing what the words on the phone meant.

After the registration, Shi Shilei took the milk by the way and handed it to Chang Ke.

For the purpose of saving money, Shi Shilei only opened a single room.After coming to the room, Chang can quickly sit on the bed and rest.Shi Shilei looked back and said, "Don't sit on the bed, can you? It's so dirty."

Chang Ke was taken aback, got up quickly, took off his schoolbag and put it aside, and sat on a chair.

Shi Shilei looked at him helplessly for a moment, then suddenly remembered that he hadn't told Fu Qinruo that he was safe, so he threw his backpack aside, stayed in Chang Ke's room, and went to the corridor to make a phone call.

It took Fu Qinruo a while to pick up the phone, and his voice sounded soft.

"Are you asleep?" Shi Shilei asked in a soft voice.

"Hmm..." Fu Qinruo paused for a moment, and then he spoke much better, "You just arrived?"

Shi Shilei smiled bitterly: "No, it's been a while. Are grandparents asleep?"

"Well, grandma still talks about you before going to bed." Fu Qinruo yawned.

"I'm sorry, as soon as I saw him, I forgot everything." After he finished speaking, he felt that it was wrong to say so, and said, "You don't know, he looks so bad. He looks like a lost puppy."

Hearing this, Fu Qinruo smiled and asked, "Is it cold at home?"

Shi Shilei blinked, and had no choice but to tell him the truth, and at the end he didn't forget to criticize the landlord.

Fu Qinruo said: "Then you should live outside first, the basement is already cold."

"You can't live forever! It costs a hundred dollars a night, how long can you live?" Shi Shilei pouted, "Anyway, I will pay the utility bills and rent tomorrow, and then I will get my brother back."

He smiled: "And then?"

"Then I'll go find you!" Shi Shilei said naturally.

Fu Qinruo asked after laughing: "Do you still have money to pay these fees? Would you like me to transfer some to you?"

"No, no." He shook his head repeatedly, pursed his lips and said, "You have given me a lot. If I really need it, I will find a way by myself."

For some reason, Fu Qinruo was silent for a while, and said, "Yes, yes."

Shi Shilei was afraid that he might misunderstand, so he hurriedly said, "I won't accept business anymore."

"I know." Fu Qinruo smiled softly, "You are very good."

These words made him stunned for a moment, and it took him a while to come back to his senses, he hummed and laughed twice: "It's good that you know~"

Those fees add up to at least a few thousand yuan. It is impossible for Shi Shilei to come up with so much money for a while, but he thought that Fu Qinruo had helped him pay off the credit card repayment earlier, and if he withdraws cash, he should still be able to pay. Hold on for a while.It will not be difficult to find a part-time job and pay off the debt bit by bit.

When Shi Shilei returned to the room, he was surprised to find that Chang Ke had already fallen asleep lying on the table after he had only gone out and made a phone call for 2 minutes.He bulged his cheeks, and was thinking about whether to push Chang Ke to wake him up. It would be easier to sleep after taking a hot bath, otherwise he would catch cold easily. He walked to Chang Ke's side unexpectedly, and he woke up.

"Go take a shower before going to bed." Shi Shilei pouted, saying so.

"En." Chang Ke rubbed his eyes, stood up and took off his coat.

Shi Shilei turned on the air conditioner, saw the cotton balls on his sweater out of the corner of his eye, and couldn't help frowning: "How long have you been wearing this clothes? It's time for a new one." After speaking, he reached out and touched the hem of his clothes, tsk He said: "I'm wearing thin clothes, can you still keep warm? Why don't you buy new ones? It's not that I didn't give you money."

Chang Ke smiled shyly: "It's not cold at home, this is suitable for you to wear."

"Why are you saving money?" Shi Shilei was baffled, "Didn't I give you enough money for school and make-up lessons? There is also food expenses every month. You live in the school, where can you spend it? It’s not easy to get sick by buying warm clothes. Besides, how old are they? Was it this color before?”

Hearing him nagging for a while, Chang Ke licked his lips and said, "Brother, I don't want to study anymore. I want to come to Hangzhou to work and be with you."

Shi Shilei rolled his eyes without even thinking about it: "What's wrong with you?"

Perhaps because she was used to Shi Shilei treating herself in such a way and tone, Chang Ke didn't care about his expression.He sat slumped, and spoke with a bit of reluctance: "My grades are not good, and I am a hindrance in class. People say that my grades are not as good as those in private schools, and even the teachers are unwilling to teach me. It's a waste of money to read on."

"Can't you work hard if you don't have good grades?" Shi Shilei said angrily, "Wasting money? Look at what you saved? I want to know what you used the money I gave you! You just said No living expenses at the end of the month? Have you eaten all? What are you eating, and you are still so skinny!"

"I..." For some reason, Chang Ke blushed, lowered her head, and said stubbornly after a while, "Anyway, I won't study anymore. If I continue to study, I will have to work part-time if I don't pass the university entrance exam. Why don't you come out and work now to make money? It can also treat Xiaobin's illness."

Shi Shilei couldn't help but rolled his eyes again: "It's your turn to make money at home? I'm too lazy to tell you, hurry up and take a shower and sleep! Go back to me tomorrow."

Chang Ke firmly said: "I won't go back!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Shi Shilei stood up and kicked his calf twice, "Go take a shower!"

After urging for a long time, Chang Ke reluctantly went to take a bath.Shi Shilei knew that he had such a stubborn temper since he was a child, so he simply ignored him and took out the data cable from his bag to charge his phone.

He still couldn't figure out that he would pay Chang Ke 1000 yuan for living expenses every month if he didn't say anything.Seeing that he was dressed so frugally, his complexion was not good, he was obviously malnourished, and he didn't know how he usually spent his money.

Could it be that he hasn't gone back for more than a year and the prices have gone up?Impossible, even in Shanghai, there would still be some surplus in Shengcheng like this, not to mention that Chang Ke is still a student, how can he spend money living in school?

The more Shi Shilei thought about it, the more something was wrong, but when Chang Ke came out of the shower, he didn't want to ask him anymore.

Chang Ke was wearing a bath towel, and a towel was draped over his wet hair. When he saw Shi Shilei staring at him, he hurriedly avoided his gaze: "Brother, I think you want to give us money..."

"I'm going to take a shower." Shi Shilei interrupted him coldly, took his underwear and pajamas, and walked into the steaming bathroom.

The floor was very slippery, and he almost slipped when he walked in, but fortunately, he quickly grabbed the edge of the sink next to him.The mirror was also blurred, but it could be seen that the middle part had been wiped off a little before. Shi Shilei wiped the middle part clean again and saw his own face.For some reason, he remembered what he saw just now, the injuries on both knees of Chang Ke.

Shi Shilei smiled self-deprecatingly, took off his clothes and went to take a shower.

He didn't know what happened to his brothers and sisters while he was away, but no matter how busy he was, he would still call the orphanage once a month.Even so, he didn't even notice Chang Ke's change.

Shi Shilei dried his hair immediately after taking a shower, and when he came out, he saw Chang Ke who was already lying on the bed and sat up immediately, looking at himself with nervous eyes.

"Sleep first, we'll talk about it later when we wake up." He sat on the other side of the bed, lifted the quilt and got in.Seeing that Chang Ke's hair was still half dry, Shi Shilei pushed him: "Blow dry your hair, you will get sick if you sleep with wet hair."

Chang Ke looked at him silently, nodded and got out of bed.

Shi Shilei had a terrible headache. Seeing him walk into the bathroom, he sighed a long time, and plunged into the pillow to sleep.

He was really tired that day. Gradually, he couldn't even hear the sound of the hair dryer.

In a daze, Shi Shilei heard Chang Ke calling himself.He responded casually while he was half asleep and half awake, but he couldn't understand the rest of what he said.

"Brother, you gave us all the money. I feel sorry for living in such a place." Perhaps because he was worried that Shi Shilei would fall asleep and not hear, Chang Ke pushed Shi Shilei's shoulder while talking.

Shi Shilei only wanted to sleep at this moment, pushed his hand away impatiently, and murmured: "It's not a big deal, I've been in a bit of embarrassment recently, and I happened to be seen by you. If you had come a few months earlier..." Having said that, he became sober.

"What will happen a few months earlier?" Chang Ke asked curiously.

He didn't get up, but still turned his back to Chang Ke, and said lightly, "Come early, and you can live in a spacious and warmer house, just like the TV decoration advertisements."

Chang Ke was even more surprised: "Then why do you live there now?"

"It's all in the past, and it's meaningless to talk about it." Shi Shilei pouted, "I'm exhausted, let's talk about it tomorrow. Are you not tired? Twenty hours of standing tickets."

"Oh." He was silent for a while, and suddenly asked in a probing tone, "Brother, do you still remember Xiaoqian?"

Shi Shilei's head was in a daze, not sure if he had caught a cold, and he didn't think too much after hearing the words, he murmured: "Where did the female ghost come from..."

Chang Ke got up earlier than him and sat in the room playing with his mobile phone.Shi Shilei recognized at a glance that it was the latest model, and couldn't help frowning.

But this time he didn't say Chang Ke again, but got up and said to buy him breakfast, let him stay in the room and don't go anywhere.

Although he was in a daze before going to bed, Shi Shilei still remembered clearly what he had to do when he woke up.As soon as he got downstairs, he called his mother. Standing at the door of the hotel, looking at the wet ground and a few fallen leaves on the ground, he suddenly felt colder.

Mom didn't expect Shi Shilei to call back, so she was very surprised when she spoke.Shi Shilei pouted, and after listening to her greetings, asked: "Ke Ke came to see me, do you know?"

Sun Liqing answered as a matter of course: "I know. Last time you called and said that everyone missed you if you didn't come back for the New Year. Yangyang asked several times where brother Shi Shi went. I think that child also misses you , I went to find you."

"You know you let him come?!" Shi Shilei was completely surprised, "How old is the child? You let him come to Hangzhou alone?"

Who knows that Mother Sun laughed and said, "Oh, it's fifteen. Didn't you run around when you were 15 years old? Pfft, I remember clearly, you haven't reached out to me since then. I have to spend money, and I haven’t gone to high school yet!”

Shi Shilei's heart was blocked, so he didn't know how to answer the words.After a while, he calmed down his emotions and said, "Don't talk about it. Mom, is Ke Ke in love?"

"Eh?" Sun Liqing was very surprised, and said uncertainly, "I saw that he brought a girl back, not a student. Oh! By the way, the girl said that she knew you, she was your classmate! "

"Huh?" Shi Shilei was completely baffled, how did his classmate know Chang Ke?Based on the relationship of alumni alone?

"Yes, she has been here several times. Ah! It's called Xiaoqian, Yu Wenqian. Yes, yes, I remembered. Oh, is it because you have a bad memory? She also came back with you!" Sun Liqing laughed road.

Hearing this name, the thin figure of a girl flashed across Shi Shilei's mind, and it instantly became blank.

Sun Liqing smacked her lips and said, "Last time I took Lingling to get vaccinated, and I saw her, holding a little girl, who is not yet three years old. She is a single mother, so it can't be Ke Ke's girlfriend, right? What kind of vision? Although she looks good..."

Shi Shilei's heart suddenly skipped a beat, and his tone was a little blunt: "Single mother?"

"Ah." Sun Liqing replied with great certainty, "I was chatting with her. I asked where her little sister's father was, and she said that she was the only one to take care of her. What a shame! How old is she? Just like you Right? I was still a child, but I gave birth to a child! I stopped studying and worked in a fast food restaurant, dragging a child by myself. I saw her insinuating, and felt that she wanted to leave the child with us. If she couldn’t take care of her, she would Don't give birth! Judging by the child's age, he was born before finishing high school? Tsk tsk, your school is a good school! How can there be such a person!"

He held back his irritability to listen to Sun Liqing's words, and finally asked: "Then are you going to take that child in?"

Sun Liqing was quite unhappy and said: "How can this be done? I know where her mother is!"

"Hmm." Shi Shilei thought she still had a conscience, and asked again, "You didn't move the money I send to Keke every month, did you?"

She was quiet for a while, and said displeasedly: "I must have not moved! I don't even know where he put his bank card. Isn't that his own card?"

"Oh." Shi Shilei replied dryly, forced to change the topic to other younger siblings, and ended the call carelessly.

Originally, I just planned to ask Chang Ke's questions, but I didn't expect to bring out Yu Wenqian.

The impression of this girl in his mind was already very vague, even though his classmates said at the time that they looked alike, if not husband and wife, they must be brothers and sisters who had been separated for many years.

Shi Shilei only remembers that she was very thin, and when she bent over, she could see the jagged spine with the school uniform shirt spread on her back.

There are also clear ribs when she stretches.

She literally gave birth to that baby.

"Beep...beep...beep...beep...beep..." Just as Shi Shilei was about to hang up, the phone was picked up, and Fu Qinruo's voice was sober, "Hello?"

Shi Shilei raised his heart vigorously, and called out, "Brother Qinruo."

He laughed when he heard that: "Huh? Good morning."

"Morning..." Shi Shilei looked for the breakfast shop next to him, and the door was full of office workers rushing to buy buns, "You woke up so early! What are you doing?"

Fu Qinruo said, "Go to Uncle Ming's place to paint a fan. I'm going back to Xitang tomorrow, and I'm in a hurry to finish painting today."

Shi Shilei blinked: "Are you going back tomorrow?"

"Well. Last night on the Internet, I saw a message saying that I came to stay at the hotel, so I have to go back to Zhang Luo to clean it first." Fu Qinruo asked, "When are you coming?"

He was startled, lowered his head and said, "I may not pass. I want my brother to stay for a few more days."

Hearing that Fu Qinruo stopped talking, a voice came after a while: "Then I'll take your luggage for you?"

Shi Shilei's throat tightened, thinking he couldn't let him see Chang Ke, and asked, "Can you send it to me?"

He was silent again: "Well, that's fine."

"Brother Qinruo!" He suddenly called out.

Fu Qinruo smiled and said, "What's the matter?"

"Can you..." Shi Shilei shook his head vigorously, but still said, "It's nothing. Can you... think about me more?" Just think about him, don't care about his bad past.

At first, Fu Qinruo didn't speak, but later he said: "Then you should think about me more."

Shi Shilei never believed in such things as retribution.Even if it was true, he didn't believe it would happen to him.

After the [-]th day of the first lunar month, even elementary and middle schools in Hangzhou started to reopen one after another, and the noise of several children living in the same building going to school together could be heard in the morning.

But Chang Ke is still unwilling to go back.He looks for work every day.

Once, Shi Shilei saw him handing out leaflets on the street, and abruptly pulled him back.He kept saying that he could get 80 yuan for distributing leaflets for one day, and more than 2000 yuan for a month. Shi Shilei immediately told him that he could not distribute leaflets for a lifetime.

Going on like this is not an option.Fortunately, someone ordered Shi Shilei's online list.Trading in the same city is also convenient. One afternoon, he and Chang Ke went to the studio with large and small cameras and lenses on their backs.After more than an hour of bargaining, Shi Shilei sold all his belongings and got a considerable amount of money.

"SLR is ruining your life." The studio manager looked at Shi Shilei with a half-smile while waiting for the cash counter to count the money, "Can't you keep going?"

Shi Shilei was in a bad mood at first, but he came to sell things after all, and raised the corners of his mouth symbolically after hearing this.

The manager blinked his eyes twice, and said, "I'm afraid it would be more suitable for someone to take pictures of you. How about it? Would you like to come to our studio as a model?"

"No, I'm still a student." Shi Shilei said politely
