Shape

Liang Xuan was playing games in the Internet cafe, unaware that it was already raining heavily outside, the phone rang many times, and Liang Xuan finally heard it.He pressed the answer button, and the mother's voice on the other side was sharp and fearful: "Xiaoxuan! Come to the hospital quickly! Your father, your father—"

Liang Xuan hung up the phone and ran outside.

It was raining heavily that day, and there were no taxis on the street, so Liang Xuan rode his bicycle to the hospital.The road was too long, and it seemed that he could never reach the hospital. Liang Xuan's face was washed by the rain, and he couldn't see the road clearly, but his feet were turning faster and faster.The feeling of being exhausted but unable to stop was so profound that Liang Xuan would always dream of that evening rain again when he was extremely exhausted for countless days afterwards.

Liang Changping's body began to deteriorate rapidly the night Li Yichu left, losing vitality at such a speed that even the doctors were helpless.A few days ago, when the doctor examined him, he had already prepared Liu Fan and Liang Xuan mentally.But these two days, Liang Changping suddenly got better. He kicked Liang Xuan out in the morning, leaning on the bedside and chatting with Liu Fan in high spirits.

Liang Xuan rushed into the ward drenched and saw his mother lying on the bed crying bitterly, and his father who was no longer breathing.

Liang Changping's funeral was kept simple according to his last wish. Liang Xuan and his mother buried him in his hometown, and returned home after staying in the countryside for a few days.

Liu Fan has not recovered from his grief. He was dragged forward by his son like a walking dead these days, and when he returned home, he sat silently on the sofa without moving.Liang Xuan went to the kitchen and made a bowl of clear water noodles for her: "Mom, you need to eat something."

Liu Fanhong looked away.

Liang Xuan persuaded her patiently: "You don't eat or drink all the time, and you don't feel at ease when Dad is gone."

Liu Fan sobbed: "Don't mention your father."

Liang Xuan stuffed the chopsticks into her hand: "You should eat something."

The wind was blowing on the balcony, and it looked like it was going to rain again.The door of Li Yichu's bedroom was ajar, and it closed and opened again with the wind.

Liu Fan seemed annoyed by the noise, and turned his head to stare at the door angrily.Seeing this, Liang Xuan put the noodles on the tea table and got up to close the bedroom door.Unexpectedly, Liu Fan followed him to the bedroom. After entering, he ran directly to the desk, pushed all the lamps, pen holders and other items on it to the ground, and then pulled the bed sheet out with both hands, stepping on and tearing it, in a crazy move The earth is like a lioness.

Liang Xuan was caught off guard by his mother who suddenly went crazy, so he reacted and immediately hugged her: "Mom, what are you doing?!"

Liu Fan struggled desperately, so strong that Liang Xuan couldn't even hug her. She grabbed the chair on the ground and threw it at the closet door, cracking the closet door once, and then swinging the chair towards the crack.

Liang Xuan snatched the chair, cut her back tightly with both hands, and hugged her from below with the other hand and sent her back to the master bedroom.Liu Fan was still struggling: "Liang Xuan, let go!! Ah—"

Liang Xuan hugged her tightly without saying a word amidst the heart-piercing screams.

After a long time, Liu Fan finally stopped struggling in the immobilized bondage, opened his mouth and cried bitterly, and roared in a voice full of hatred: "It was Li Yichu who killed your father. He was fine at first, but once he left, Your father is critically ill, and your father raised him as his own son for 11 years, and he left as soon as he said it. The doctor said that your father can't stand stimulation... Li Yichu! Li Yichu! A dog who is not as good as a beast!"

Liang Xuan pressed his mother's head on his shoulder and let her vent.

After calming down a bit, Liu Fan broke free from his son's arms, looked at him and said, "Throw out all of Li Yichu's things, and don't keep a single thing."

There was obvious hesitation in Liang Xuan's eyes.

Liu Fan stared at him and said word by word: "From now on, you don't have such a younger brother, and our Liang family has never had such a person."

Liang Xuan is about to go to Beijing to study at university, and he will leave his mother alone at home in the future, so he is worried about everything.So not long after his father passed away, he began to teach his mother how to use the computer, how to look up information, how to watch TV shows, and how to video chat with others, step by step.

Before the Liang family's house could be sold, Liang Changping passed away, so the mother and son withdrew the sale information.Liu Fan asked craftsmen to remove the partition wall of Liang Xuan's bedroom, and repainted it. The furnishings in the room were also changed, and all traces of Li Yichu's previous existence were wiped off.

Li Yichu has liked places with humid climates since he was a child. Lying in bed on rainy days and listening to his parents telling stories is his earliest childhood memory.The train went all the way south, this time he didn't have to worry about his luggage being stolen, he got up and walked around in the carriage when his body was numb, looking at the scenery outside the window.

After more than 20 hours of hard seating, finally at dawn, the sound of the station announcement came from the carriage - the train arrived at the station ahead: Xiamen Station.

Li Yichu followed the flow of people out of the station, and the unfamiliar city greeted him with the damp morning air. Outside the station, there was a row of taxis waiting to solicit customers, and the tourists around him pulled their suitcases and rushed to their destinations in twos and threes.

Li Yichu walked along the street, found a small restaurant, and went in to eat something.After coming out, I bought school bags, maps, notebooks and pens at the store.Then I found an Internet cafe, found a remote location in it, and started to search for information.

He went to the recruitment website, wrote down the contacts and addresses of the training institutions that recruited teachers, and marked them one by one on the map. When he came out of the Internet cafe, it was already evening.Li Yichu looked at his clothes, he was going to start looking for a job tomorrow, so he couldn't go there in such a disheveled state.There are never any cheap hotels near the train station. After staying in a hotel, Li Yichu asked the boss about cheap shopping malls nearby, and went to buy a clean summer dress.

He hadn't slept much for several days in a row, and he slept very deeply this night.

Early the next morning, Li Yichu put the old clothes washed last night into his schoolbag. After breakfast, he began to follow the route on the map to find those training institutions one by one. In order to catch up with a few more, he had to take a taxi.The taxi passed by a university campus. It was summer vacation. Only the students staying in the school for the postgraduate entrance examination occasionally went out to buy some fruit. They were in small groups, carrying schoolbags and bargaining with vendors. Walk.

There are tall and thin boys, and there are also fair and delicate girls, with the same vigorous face and the same golden future.

At the end of this summer vacation, Liang Xuan will be like them, studying and living in a beautiful and quiet campus. He will meet all kinds of outstanding people, experience many interesting stories, and grow into a mature and dazzling man.

The corners of Li Yichu's mouth rose and fell slightly. These fantasies made him smile unconsciously, but the smile disappeared before his eyes.

When the taxi arrived, Li Yichu looked at the price on the meter, and took out his wallet to pay with distress.Li Yichu knew that if he wanted to save money, it would be better to stay in a remote place with low prices and less expenses, but he knew even better that if he really stayed, he and Liang Xuan would really be in heaven and earth, drinking tea together at the table. Qualifications are gone.

Although he no longer wants to get back together with Liang Xuan, he still hopes to have a chance to see Liang Xuan again.Liang Xuan will go to Q University. After graduation, he will definitely have a good job and live a life that Li Yichu will never be able to achieve. It will be a class that Li Yichu, who stayed in a small restaurant and worked part-time, will never meet in his life.So he came out, and he hoped that if we could see each other again in the future, he would not be so humble that Liang Xuan could not see him.

The training institutions are either teachers from regular schools to substitute for the class, or students who have graduated from college to work after training. For a high school graduate like Li Yichu, basically there is no further information after he tells his age.Xiamen is a big city, and Li Yichu only interviewed five agencies after a day's travel, and all of them failed.

As it was getting late, Li Yichu found a nearby hotel and opened an hourly room for an hour, went in to take a shower and changed clothes, the wet clothes were dried by the air conditioner, and then he carried his schoolbag on his back. He found a copy shop and entered the website for the first time to check his college entrance examination scores.The scores of the first three subjects were all about the same as his own estimates, and the English scores were set off especially ridiculously.There was his identity information and score on this webpage. Li Yichu printed the entire webpage, found a KFC restaurant after he came out, and spent the night lying in a corner.

In the next few days, he continued to look for a job during the day and went to KFC to sleep at night. Finally, on the fourth day, he found a training institution that recruited college students to take part-time summer jobs. The reason was that something happened to my family and I gave up the exam. I looked at the paper with great regret and said, "With this score, I can get into the top few prestigious schools."

Li Yichu had already adjusted his state of mind, and when he heard the words, he just looked normal and said: "Everyone has their own destiny, there is nothing to regret."

The person in charge of the institution is surnamed Zhang, and Mr. Zhang said: "We, Canxing, have both part-time and full-time teachers. Part-time teachers are usually college students. You are not a student now, but you are too young and have no education, so you don't have to. It is in line with our regulations for recruiting full-time teachers. In this way, you will temporarily substitute as a part-time teacher. After teaching for a period of time, if your performance is good, I will discuss with the principal and convert you to a full-time teacher. As for salary, part-time teachers do not have a basic salary. It all depends on class fees, what do you think?"

Li Yichu had almost figured out the training institutions here, and Mr. Zhang's proposal was a good solution. He reconfirmed the working hours and class fee standards, and signed a part-time contract.

The dormitory of Canxing Classroom is in a residential area. The three-bedroom and two-living room is divided into eight single rooms. Although men and women live together, they are separated by wooden boards. Everyone has at least a relatively closed space.

It was such a cubicle, and Li Yichu lived there for three years.

In three years, he passed the self-examination and obtained a bachelor's degree certificate from the computer department of the university. He met people of all ages, owned his first laptop computer, and started to get in touch with different industries.

In the fourth year, he resigned from Canxing Classroom and joined a start-up company. He was tired like a dog from five to nine every day. Although he was tired, his professional level improved rapidly. In just half a year, he became the backbone of the company. The only regret It's just that the wages are too low.

Last month, one of his colleagues resigned and went to Shanghai. After finding a good job, he kept urging Li Yichu to jump to Shanghai, saying that it was a paradise for Internet talents like them, with many opportunities and high wages.Li Yichu's career in Xiamen has just started, so he has been hesitant to agree.He usually does not rest on weekends. Finally, a project was handed over and he took a weekend vacation.As soon as he returned to the rental house, he asked in the group of friends of college students if there was any part-time job that he could do tomorrow.A girl quickly replied to him that there will be an exhibition in the scenic spot tomorrow, and the sponsor wants to recruit people to serve as billboards, one hundred and five a day.

Li Yichu signed up immediately.

Li Yichu felt a sore throat after waking up early the next morning. He knew it was a sign of a cold. Maybe the temperature of the air conditioner was set too low last night.He soaked a cup of Radix Banlangen and drank it before going out. Over the years, he had a headache and brain fever, and he just drank a cup of granules to get rid of it. When he was busy, he would not remember his physical discomfort.When Li Yichu rushed over, there were already a group of part-time students waiting at the entrance of the scenic spot.After counting the number of people in charge, the person in charge took them to the parking lot, opened the large truck and asked everyone to go up and get dressed.They are all doll costumes of various cartoon animals, big and thick, with only a small slit at the mouth of the headgear to show them the way.

The weather was relatively hot, and everyone was covered with sweat after putting on their clothes.The person in charge led them into the scenic spot. There was an advertisement on the back of each doll costume, so they had to walk around the road around the scenic spot until the scenic spot closed at [-] pm.

Once you meet a child on the road, these big fluffy dolls are pulled to take pictures with the child, and you have to cooperate with them in various poses. Occasionally, when you encounter a crying bear child, the parents keep asking them to hold the child and take pictures, which is often tiring. It's choking.Li Yichu made a mistake in wearing a pikachu which is the most popular among children, and he never stopped taking pictures along the way.

"Wow, this Bikachu is so cute, Liang Xuan, come here!"

Li Yichu was taking pictures with a child, when he heard a young girl calling behind him in the front right, and soon a figure walked up to the girl.Li Yichu froze on the spot as if struck by lightning.

Liang Xuan's hair is shorter, his facial features appear sharper, and his body is much stronger than before.

Li Yichu looked at Liang Xuan who was less than three meters away from him through a thin slit. Everything in front of his eyes and ears faded to silence, only the tall standing man with a faint smile on his mouth remained.

Until the girl handed the phone to Liang Xuan, ran to Li Yichu's side and raised his arm, constantly urging Liang Xuan: "Hurry up and take a group photo with us."

Li Yichu suddenly woke up from his dream.

The girl was enthusiastic and lively, at first she held Pikachu's arm, and later she hugged him directly, her crisp laughter kept lingering in Li Yichu's ears.Li Yichu's whole body was stiff, the girl was trying her best to pose, while he stood upright the whole time.

Liang Xuan took more than a dozen photos in a row, smiling and urging the girl: "Okay, it's time to go."

The girl's business was still unfinished, she ran over and handed the phone to a passerby, and then said coquettishly to Liang Xuan: "You take a picture with me, just one. Okay?"

Liang Xuan hesitated for a moment, the girl was about to pull him, Liang Xuan walked to the side of Pikachu: "Let's shoot."

The girl happily told the passer-by a few words, then ran to the other side of Pikachu, made a V sign, and said with a smile: "It's ok!"

After the two finished filming, they thanked Li Yichu and walked towards the exit side by side.

Li Yichu stood where he was and watched Liang Xuan's back disappear around the corner.Liang Xuan came to Xiamen from Beijing for a trip. He was accompanied by a beautiful and cheerful girl, with a smile on his lips. He may have forgotten him. He saw that Liang Xuan was doing well. He should be happy. This is what he wanted to see .

But he was very sad.

Even... even more sad than leaving Hexian.

After the part-time job ended, Li Yichu walked back along the road in the aftermath of the scorching sun. His body, which was used to continuous rotation, was suddenly swept away by great fatigue. The road in his sight turned into twisted ripples, and his legs seemed to be covered by With dozens of kilograms of sandbags tied, every step was difficult.Li Yichu swayed a few times and grabbed the advertisement board on the side of the road. He closed his eyes and rested for a few seconds. After opening his eyes, he wanted to continue walking. side.

The people waiting for the bus on the side of the road rushed forward as soon as they saw someone fainted. The onlookers pulled out their mobile phones to call an ambulance, and those who knew first aid pressed their thumbs on him. Fan him with a folding fan.

The ambulance roared all the way to this side, and pedestrians on the side of the road gave way one after another.Liang Xuan and his junior sister walked to the bus stop to wait for the bus, and saw a large circle of people not far away, Liang Xuan just wanted to look through the gap to the center of the crowd, when the junior sister pulled his clothes and said, "The bus is here, let's go. "

The two of them got into the car with several elderly people. Through the car window, Liang Xuan only had time to see a person being carried on a stretcher. That person's body was completely blocked by the crowd, only a thin white leg was exposed.

The young man who shared the rent with Li Yichu is called Lu Xin. They are both roommates and colleagues. They are the first friends Li Yichu made after changing jobs.Lu Xin received a call while playing games at home, and when he heard that Li Yichu had entered the hospital, he hurried over.

Li Yichu's illness was not trivial, he had a high fever one after another, his cheeks were flushed abnormally, and he fell asleep all the time.

Lu Xin was frowning. He asked all the doctors, and they all said that the patient could not find the cause of the disease, so he could only take nutrient solution first, and he would study it as soon as possible.

Research, study your uncle!Lu Xin almost swears in person, where are the quack doctors who come from, Li Yichu usually never gets sick, and occasionally a fever can't be cured? !

In fact, Li Yichu didn't completely lose consciousness. He could vaguely hear Lu Xin's voice cursing on the phone. He wanted to wake up, but he didn't have any strength in his body, and he couldn't even open his eyes.Over the years, he has been very tired many times, and many mornings he was too tired to open his eyes, but as long as he heard the sound, he could get up from the bed immediately.But now for some reason, his body seemed to be saying that he was very tired, that he was going to go on strike, and he didn't want to support Li Yichu anymore.

Lu Xin stayed with him in the hospital for two days. From time to time, he would go to the bedside to check on Li Yichu's condition. He felt that after a few bottles of nutrient solution, not only did he not get better, but his face turned from crimson to pale, and his lips gradually lost their color. It was worse before.Lu Xin was in a hurry, so he had to find the phone numbers of the leaders in the company group and ask them if they knew the experts.

Li Yichu moved suddenly, his dry and chapped lips kept murmuring.

Lu Xin put his ear to his lips.I could only hear him repeating two words, as if it was some kind of Xuan, but I couldn't hear it clearly.

Lu Xin begged: "Wake up, brother!"

Perhaps it was Lu Xin's entreaties that had an effect. On the morning of the third day, Li Yichu woke up from his lethargy, but he was extremely weak, and felt that he would faint again in the next second.Lu Xin couldn't be happy at all, and the doctor came over again and said a bunch of nonsense, as if they couldn't do anything about life or death.

Lu Xin decided that even if his skin was broken, he would not come to this hospital for treatment.

Seeing that Li Yichu was about to pass by again, Lu Xin took out his phone and wanted to continue to ask for help. Seeing that the screen of Li Yichu's phone lighted up by the bedside, he picked it up and saw that it was a photo sent by his friends group. Attracting Li Yichu's attention: "This is the look you had for a part-time job last week? It's too childish, hahaha..."

Li Yichu half-opened his eyes to look at the photo. In the middle of the photo was Pikachu standing alone, surrounded by passers-by. Li Yichu reached out and grabbed the phone, and opened his eyes to take a closer look. Behind Pikachu was a man wearing a shirt Because of the distance, only the outline of the face can be seen, which is not clear.

But Li Yichu knew that it was Liang Xuan.

Li Yichu stared at the photo for a long time, until his eyes turned red before he buckled the phone to his chest.

Lu Xin saw that he suddenly regained energy, but he seemed to be about to cry, he was at a loss what to do: "Li Yichu, are you recovering or are you serious? Give me a letter, my God."

Li Yichu found the number of his previous friend on his mobile phone and dialed it: "Hi, I'm going to Shanghai next month."

He has lived in Xiamen for a long time, and originally thought that the president would live here, but now he can't stay any longer, seeing with his own eyes Liang Xuan living the life that Uncle Liang expected, which made the whole Xiamen look bleak in Li Yichu's eyes horrible.

Lu Xin: "...you want to change jobs? Take me with you!"
