During that time, the young man had been living in his home, and that was also the happiest high school winter vacation Ah Yuan had.As the mental state of the young man gradually improved, he changed the indifference of his youth, and he was willing to play games with Ruan Yuan, go to the video game city with him, or go to the basketball court and swimming pool, wherever he wanted to go, he would play with him .

Just a few weeks passed in the blink of an eye. Ruan Yuan took the make-up exam at the end of the first semester, but his Chinese score was still on the verge of failing.

He asked his brother to sign for him without telling Ruan's mother, and now he can be regarded as fully aware of the benefits of having a brother.

The young man took his test paper and flipped through it from beginning to end.He pointed out a few common-sense mistakes to Ruan Yuan, and when he finally turned to the erroneous account of the composition, he couldn't help but sigh, "How can your language be so poor?"

Ruan Yuan pouted, "Our Chinese teacher is an old man who speaks a lot of dialect. I can't even understand what he's teaching."

The young man looked at him disapprovingly.

Ruan Yuan rolled his eyes and flattered, "Brother, are you in college now?"

The young man nodded, "University is about to graduate."

Ruan Yuan said, "I heard it's from the Computer Department of University K?"

The young man flicked his forehead, "What are you thinking?"

Ruan Yuan smiled like a stealing cat, "Brother, do you want to make extra money?"

The young man said, "Which aspect are you referring to?

Ruan Yuan said coyly, "Doesn't tutoring make a lot of money? I have a thousand lucky money, and I'll give it to you. If it's not enough, I... I'll ask my mother for more!"

The young man said, "But I'm a computer student, how can I help you supplement Chinese?"

Ruan Yuan raised his neck and said, "It must be good to be able to study Chinese at K University!"

The young man couldn't help his small appearance and said happily, "I have never seen a student who wants to take tutoring as actively as you."

Ruan Yuan said, "That depends on who is helping me with tutoring."

The young man was a little helpless, he reached out and rubbed his hair with his hands, the ends of his hair were still limp, just like when he was a child.He laughed and said, "You tell auntie yourself, if she is willing, I will give you tutoring."

Ruan Yuan Lebudian went to ask Ruan's mother, and Ruan's mother was naturally happy to see the result, and specially cooked a large table of delicious dishes for the young man as a reward, and said casually, "Ah Yuan, this child has not Whoever has been close to you before, I will be with you. I broke the bones and the tendons, but you..." At this point, Ruan's mother suddenly stopped talking, as if realizing her slip of the tongue, hurriedly served vegetables to the two, and turned the conversation around , "Hey, I cooked too much food today, you all should eat more."

At the end of the winter vacation, Ruan Yuan took him to tutor him.

The teacher in charge issued an ultimatum. If he failed the last make-up exam before the start of school, he would have to go back and retake it for a year.Ruan Yuan complained about this, but he had to hide it from his family.

The only consolation is that the tutor is my elder brother. For him, tutoring is not a drudgery, but a harvest that has been waiting for many years.

Most of the time, make-up lessons are held at Ruan Yuan's home.The youth seemed to dislike Ruan Yuan going to his dormitory.

His dormitory is in an old house on the outskirts of the city, a two-storey bungalow, and almost all the residents have moved.The remaining widows and widows move the chairs and sit in the courtyard to bask in the sun every day.

Ruan Yuan only went there once.

It is obviously a house facing south, the midday sun shines in, through the frosted glass, the heat seems to be filtered, leaving only the coldness of the cold moon.

Ruan Yuan was shivering from the cold after sitting in it for a while, he didn't listen to what the young man said, he only felt that the surroundings were full of people.The cold breath seeps through the skin and freezes the bones so stiff that it is difficult to move.

In the end, he couldn't bear it any longer. He grabbed the young man's clothes and whispered, "Brother, you are so cold. I seem to have caught a cold. Shall we continue another day?"

The young man touched his forehead, "Uncomfortable?"

Ruan Yuan looked around and nodded, "Brother, is the Feng Shui of your house wrong? With such a big sun, it shouldn't be so cold even in winter."

The young man laughed and pinched his face, and said in a low voice, "Not yet."

Ruan Yuan was puzzled, but when asked again, the young man refused to say anything.

The tail of the winter vacation was short and fast, and when the day of school started, Ruan's mother asked his brother to come to the house for dinner.

Ruan Yuan took the papers for the make-up exam, and his grades improved by leaps and bounds.He was in a hurry to show it to his brother, and he ignored the invitation from his classmate KTV after school, and rushed home in a hurry.

However, it was a coincidence that he rushed to the door, and the first thing he heard was the explosion-like roar from his own house, "I can tolerate you giving birth to that evil, but you are so generous that you let that evil come and go freely in my house!"

He stopped involuntarily, and stood at the door of the room, not daring to go in. The door was half-closed, and another fierce quarrel between his parents came from the crack of the door.

Ruan's father overturned the dishes on the table, and Ruan's mother stood in the mess and shouted, "What's wrong with the child! He doesn't even have the right to choose his own birth!"

Father Ruan roared, "He shouldn't live in this world!"

There was a loud bang, and the glass smashed against the door, and the shards spilled out through the gap.

Ruan Yuan couldn't help but backed up, but unexpectedly bumped into someone's arms. He was taken aback, turned his head quickly, and saw his brother standing behind him, looking into the room expressionlessly, There were snow particles in his jet-black hair, and his pale face made him look like an ice sculpture.

Ruan Yuan hurriedly closed his door and said in a low voice, "Brother, let's... let's go out for dinner."

The young man glanced down at him, and stretched out his hand to ruffle his short hair, which was messed up by the velvet hat, "Ah Yuan, good boy, tell auntie, I'm leaving first."

The young man took a deep look at Ruan Yuan, and hurried downstairs.

Ruan Yuan wanted to chase them out, but he was worried about his parents who were arguing in the room. He pushed open the door and saw that the two of them seemed to have died down, so he quickly turned around and chased them out.

It is the coldest time of the year, and the wind and snow are all over the sky, dimming the dim lights on the roadside.

The young man has reached the gate of the community, and his figure is slowly submerged in the white snow.

Ruan Yuan suddenly had an indescribable panic in his heart, and he chased after him like crazy, shouting loudly while chasing, "Brother—brother! Wait for me!"

The young man didn't seem to hear it. He walked out of the community and was slowly crossing the road ahead.

Ruan Yuan felt that his heart was about to jump out of his mouth, and seeing his brother's figure getting farther and farther away, he rushed across the road regardless.

Beep-beep-beep!

The hissing horn blasted in the ears, and the dazzling high beams looked down from above like the eyes of death.Ruan Yuan felt suffocated, his mind went blank, he subconsciously turned his head to the side, and he saw a big truck running towards him.

"Ah Yuan—" Someone ran over from the other side of the road, just when he thought he was going to die, that person suddenly stretched out his hand and pulled him forward.

The big truck narrowly passed behind him, and then screeched to a stop on the side of the road.The driver jumped out of the car and yelled at him.

Ruan Yuan grabbed the young man's clothes from beginning to end, and he had a premonition that maybe he would never see him again if he let go this time.

The young man pulled him behind him and apologized to the driver, trying to persuade him to leave.He turned his head, looked at Ruan Yuan behind him, and sighed, "What are you chasing after?"

Ruan Yuan said, "Brother, come home with me. Mom has cooked a lot of your favorite dishes. It's so cold outside, you don't have to go back to the dormitory now..."

"Ah Yuan," the young man interrupted him, he smiled slightly, he looked calm, but Ruan Yuan always felt that there was a stormy sea hidden underneath, "That is not my home, there are only people who hate me. "

Ruan Yuan didn't know how to comfort him, but felt hot in his eyes, he grabbed the young man's hand, "I'm here, brother, you are my family. Brother, don't go, don't leave us."

The young man shook his head, his downcast eyes seemed to show pity, and he whispered, "Ah Yuan."

Ruan Yuan racked his brains but couldn't find a word to keep him. He stretched out his hand and found that there was another exam paper in his palm, "Brother!" He seemed to have found some treasure, and unfolded the half-damp exam paper to the young man. Look, "Brother, look at me, I got a very high score in this test."

The young man took the test paper and looked down. He smiled and said, "Yuan is so amazing."

"It's not all about your teaching." He raised his head and stared at the other person stubbornly. "Brother, can you continue to help me with tutoring in the future?"

The young man laughed, "You have learned well."

"That's because there is a brother..."

"That's enough," the young man's voice suddenly cooled down, and the expression on his face was a kind of deep-rooted coldness. For a moment, he seemed to suddenly become another person, "You should go back."

Ruan Yuan couldn't help but let go of the hand that was holding him, feeling inexplicably scared, "...Brother?"

The young man closed his eyes and took a deep breath, "A Yuan, go back."

Ruan Yuan persisted, "Brother, are you coming back?"

The young man smiled slightly, "Yes, I will come back."

—But he broke his promise.

Ruan Yuan never saw his brother again until he graduated from university.

Occasionally he would mention it to Ruan's mother, but Ruan's mother just kept silent, or shook her head and smiled bitterly. In the end, she also turned cold and retorted him indifferently, "Where is your brother from?"

He went to K University alone to find his brother, but he asked countless people, and the answer was that he had never heard of this person.He went to the residence that his brother later rented, but what he saw was the demolition by the rumbling cranes.

In the end, he returned to his hometown, but the vast forest has been razed to the ground, and the deserted mansion together with it has become an elusive past that spread during his growing up.
