Low-altitude flight

"I always cared about how to make myself appear more decent in front of outsiders, so I shook hands with him even after the divorce, saying that we had a good cooperation."

When Liu Yazhuo said this, He Xi was sitting with her on the steps beside the playground in the East District, the sky turned pale, and the wind brought the faint fragrance of her body into He Xi's nostrils.

Noticing He Xi's gaze, Liu Yazhuo lowered his eyes and smiled, before continuing, "Except for Liu Siwen, all the women in our family have this problem."

When I met Liu Yazhuo, He Xi had just finished the fourth grade exam. He came out of Building No. [-] following the crowd, and saw her standing by the lamppost opposite at a glance. His eyes crossed the intersection of the crowd, and He Xi knew that he was hiding from her. It won't drop.

"People are selfish, but that's not a bad thing."

Surprised that He Xi hit the nail on the head when he opened his mouth, Liu Yazhuo took a while to suppress the embarrassment on his face. She remembered that at the door of Building No. [-] just now, He Xi also pushed her intention back into her stomach as soon as she opened her mouth.

——"Sister Yazhuo, I feel the apology, so you don't have to come to me in person."

Liu Yazhuo was at a loss for words, and felt that He Xi was like other kind-hearted children, even if he didn't accept an apology, he gave the other party a little bit of shame, but it was very different, there was always a knot in his indifference that could not be easily untied.

Liu Yazhuo decided not to say words like 'I'm sorry' or 'I'm sorry', but instead had a private conversation with his 'sister-in-law' before returning to Singapore.

There were many students who came for a walk on the playground, Liu Yazhuo took a sip of the canned beer beside him, "You are right, the most selfish thing about me is that I thought that if I came to apologize to you today, you would talk to Tang Tang reconciles as before, it sounds like a sister is saving a relationship for her younger brother, but in essence it is to eliminate my own guilt and make me look so 'decent', I admit, this behavior is worse than what happened Everything is outrageous.”

Seeing her drink a few sips of wine again, He Xi held a bottle of milk in his hand, almost warming it up.

"Tangtang also grew up like this," Liu Yazhuo said again, "He didn't start making friends until he was in high school."

He Xi was puzzled, but did not speak.

Liu Yazhuo went on to say, "Actually, he has been taken care of by his aunt since he was born. My aunt is very busy with work, let alone my uncle. He has never been to any corner of China..."

The tone sounded very regretful.

"Six or seven years old, he comes to live in my house occasionally, and Wenwen is also young, so he will be able to hold a baby at that time." Liu Siwen remembered something happy, with a smile on her lips, "Wenwen fell asleep, He just hugged Wenwen and sat on the carpet, just looked at her without doing anything, sometimes I felt like he was a little grown-up."

Realizing that he had dragged the conversation far, Liu Yazhuo sighed, "He is also quite lonely, but I never heard him talking about wanting to be accompanied by his parents. He was always alone in primary and junior high school. I went to pick him up after school once. , and asked him why he didn’t go with his classmates, do you know what he said?”

He Xi listened and shook his head.

"He said that we would separate before we got home anyway."

It's better not to go together at the beginning, this is probably the second half of the sentence, He Xi couldn't pick up the words for a while, it turned out that everyone didn't put the influence of their original family on the table, those obscure and secluded hearts Things that only you can feel and digest.

While distracted, Liu Yazhuo's voice came to his ears again——

"It's not a secret that he likes boys from the very beginning. No one in the family expresses his opinion on this. There is no good or bad. It's just that during the Chinese New Year the year before last, my aunt said to let him fall in love. For girls, it's best to get married as soon as they graduate, and for boys. To ensure a stable life, maybe it was from that time that my aunt was more concerned about this matter, and she was also afraid, afraid that outsiders would hurt Tangtang."

The milk box in He Xi's hand was crushed by him, but he still didn't make a sound.

"For his own good or, for your own good, adults always say things like this, and they can't grasp the limits." Liu Yazhuo finished her beer, and she looked at He Xi with the empty bottle, "I want to minimize the harm to you as much as possible." The harm caused, after much deliberation, the only solution is to assure you that Tangtang is a good boy, or in other words, a trustworthy man."

……

He Xi hadn't escaped from Liu Yazhuo's narration that day for a long time. After the final exam, it rained for more than a week. He returned to Ancheng and entrusted the old house to a real estate agency a few days after the rain stopped. I rented a house in a well-regulated neighborhood, and moved the family's belongings there.

Chen Yuan came to help after handing over He Jinyu to another nurse. The living room of the [-]-square-meter house was full of boxes.

"Is the van gone?"

He Xi took the door and came in, "Well, it's all over, take a break, Brother Chen Yuan."

Chen Yuan responded, took the mineral water he handed over, and sat down on the sofa, "The old house is sold, what do you plan to do in the future?"

"Buy a new one," He Xi said, "but when the old house is sold, I'm probably going to graduate. Ancheng is small. Such an old house is not easy to sell. I just want to give my mother a new environment. You can take care of yourself in the future, don’t worry.”

Even if she can't take her home in a short time, she will always be brought back in the future, He Xi thought, the old house can no longer be lived in, it is full of painful memories brought to her by Zheng Yuanqiao.

Chen Yuan also seemed to feel good, nodded and put the cap on the bottle, "Let's put it back, we have to go back to the courtyard in a while."

"it is good."

As soon as the words were finished, the mobile phone vibrated on the shoe cabinet at the door. He Xi walked over and saw Qu Xiaotang's name jumping on the screen.

"What's wrong?" He Xi picked it up.

"...It's my birthday the day after tomorrow, are you coming?" asked the other end.

He Xi recalled what Qin Xuan said about 'party at sea', and then said, "Sorry, I'm in Ancheng."

"Then I'll pick you up."

"Qu Xiaotang..."

"I want to see you," Qu Xiaotang interrupted him, and said after a while of silence, "I suddenly understand why Pei Ziyue is pestering you, and why he has such a strong stamina after separation..."

"Why, do you want to hurt me once to relieve your emotions?"

He Xi stared at the wall, and after hearing 'Pei Ziyue', he erased the first four words from his mind.

"I just want to see you." Qu Xiaotang said.

"But I don't want to see you," He Xi cooled down, and closed his eyes in boredom, "Happy birthday, that's all."

"He Xi, I put your toiletries in the bathroom for you."

When Chen Yuan came out of the bathroom, He Xi subconsciously covered the phone, nodded hurriedly before asking the person on the other end, "Is there anything else? If not, I'll hang up. I'm a little busy."

Qu Xiaotang was silent for a moment, "Having a new love so soon?"

"what?"

"Forget it," he said, "it's up to you."

The phone was hung up, He Xi stared at the screen, pressed the lock screen after a long time, turned his head, Chen Yuan stood in the pile of boxes and looked at him, "Are you all right?"

He Xi shook his head, "It's okay, where did you put what you just said?"

"Oh, your toiletries are in the bathroom."

"Okay, thank you."

The phone bounced off the wall and rolled away scattered on the floor. Qin Xuan took off the earphones and quickly exited the game.

"Why are you so angry with the phone!"

"When did He Xi return to Ancheng?" Qu Xiaotang sat on the sofa, the TV was muted, and the picture was still the animal world that the person hadn't finished watching.

"I went back after the exam, and Nana went back too." Qin Xuan said, walked to the back of the sofa, bent over and hung on the back of the sofa, and looked at the angry person with his head tilted, "What's the matter, you Didn't you call him to invite him to your birthday party, why are you angry?"

"Where are there so many men in Ancheng?" Qu Xiaotang said, "Where are the fucking men here!"

Qin Xuan: "..."

"Clean up!" He suddenly stood up and went to the bedroom.

"Why?"

"Go to Ancheng!"

He Xi received Qu Xiaotang's call at around ten o'clock in the evening. He did not expect that he would receive Qu Xiaotang's angry call in the hospital, so that he forgot to walk out of He Jinyu's room. Had an argument with the person on the other end of the phone.

"Is it better for others?" Qu Xiaotang stood beside the parking lot of the expressway service area with his hips akimbo. Your toiletries!?"

"Why are you crazy!" He Xi roared, "You are the best at chasing wind and shadows! Are you okay? Die if you have nothing to do."

"Don't hang up!"

After Qin Xuan failed to ignite the car countless times, he looked at the furious man through the window of the car, "Boss!"

Qu Xiaotang glanced sideways, Qin Xuan shivered, and shrank back into the car obediently.

"What the hell does it stop here once it's wrong? Who's in a relationship like this? And that man in your family, don't you think it's appropriate if you don't give me a reasonable explanation?"

"Making trouble for no reason." He Xi said, and hung up the phone.

The phone was hung up, Qu Xiaotang raised his hand, and heard Qin Xuan's heart-piercing shout behind him, "Brother, don't fall, it's mine!"

Qu Xiaotang took it back angrily, then walked back to the car, "What's the matter?"

"It can't be fired, it probably... broke down."

After a moment of silence, Qu Xiaotang kicked the tire hard, then calmed down quickly, and said earnestly, "Xuan'er, think of a way."

"Well, I'm calling maintenance."

He Jinyu took sleep aid medicine today, and He Xi waited until she was fully asleep before going out, resting on the bench in the corridor, Chen Yuan poured a cup of hot water for him, and sat down beside him, "The call just now is your friend?"

He Xi quickly realized what he was confirming, so he didn't shy away, "Yes."

"in argument?"

He Xi nodded, "It's a lot of trouble," and smiled subconsciously, "A while ago, he pretended not to know me. He doesn't seem to know how to act at all."

"So you are now, forgiven?"

"I don't know." He Xi thought about it seriously, "I still get angry when I think about what happened that day."

"But sometimes you still miss him, don't you?" Chen Yuan asked.

"No, I don't want to," He Xi replied quickly, "What do you want him to do."

Chen Yuan raised his eyebrows, stood up with his thighs propped up, "It's been a busy day, go back to sleep, I'm here."

He Xi said he got it, drank the water, and crushed the paper cup.
