planetary deflection

"Okay, stand still."

Yuan Xu supported him by the shoulders and stood up. Just as he said something, Xiang Zhiyuan had already ridden out.

It's not the rush hour yet, and there aren't many cars on the road, but there are many students from No. [-] Middle School who are not bound by the end of school time, riding bicycles to have fun on the road like them.Xiang Zhiyuan only felt that the person he carried was as light as a piece of paper. Of course, it is also possible that he was a little too light and could not feel the weight of Yuan Xu.

they cross the road

Qingliu Road is indeed very close to the school. There are several dormitory compounds of state-owned enterprises in that area. The houses are basically over ten years old, so the place is very large, and the greenery and fireworks are stronger than many new communities.Xiang Zhiyuan rode his bicycle through the boulevard, and found that these eight or nine-story old houses without elevators were still very attractive.

It has an indescribable humanistic atmosphere and a taste of home.

"Be careful," Yuan Xu stood behind Xiang Zhiyuan, put his hand on his shoulder, and whispered in his ear, "Many old people pick up children on this road, and they will be accused."

Xiang Zhiyuan stopped his distracted thoughts in time, and said calmly, "Don't worry about my driving skills."

There was no parking on the side of the narrow two-lane road, and it was quite spacious. He drove Yuan Xu past a garden-like place in the middle of the street, and was about to ask which way to go, when Yuan Xu patted his right shoulder: "Turn right For the second community, just stop at the door."

The section of the road at the gate of the complex is a bit sloping, so you really have to stop for safety reasons, Xiang Zhiyuan squeezed the brakes and stopped in front of the gate of the community, and waited for Yuan Xu to jump down from behind before letting go, standing on the ground with one foot and looking up.

"You live here, it's quite close to the school."

He estimated that if he walked straight from the side road, he should be able to reach the alley where they met for the first time in a short time, at most 10 minutes.

Yuan Xu didn't lie to him, it was indeed very close.

The gate of the complex was open, and the guard room was also empty. I didn't know where the gatekeeper had gone. Xiang Zhiyuan took a look, and was about to ask Yuan Xu which building he lived in, but suddenly a car drove up beside them. stop.

It was a very ordinary black Volkswagen, very clean. Inside the car was a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who poked his head out and called Xiao Xu.

"Uncle Fang." Yuan Xu nodded at him.

"I was just about to pick you up from school with something." The man called Uncle Fang seemed relieved, and then glanced at Xiang Zhiyuan who was standing beside him, obviously a little surprised, "Hello, it's Xiaoxu classmate?"

Xiang Zhiyuan smiled at him: "Hi Uncle, my name is Xiang Zhiyuan, and I'm in the same grade as Yuan Xu."

"Hello, hello, I'm sorry, I have something to do at home, maybe it's too late to invite you up to play." The man took his mobile phone and handed it to Yuan Xu, "Xiao Xu, please call your mother, she will tell you by herself, I Go upstairs and help her get her things first, and come down immediately."

He parked the car on the side of the road, hurried into the community, and entered the building closest to the gate.Xiang Zhiyuan turned his head and glanced at Yuan Xu, he didn't dare to ask who that Uncle Fang was, but Yuan Xu himself was afraid that he might misunderstand before making the call, so he first explained: "Uncle Fang is...well, my Stepfather, it's good that you understand this way."

Stepfather?

Xiang Zhiyuan frowned, nodded and said nothing.

He watched Yuan Xu make a call on Uncle Fang's mobile phone, and first called out "Mom" in a low voice. The person on the other end of the phone didn't know what to say. Hang up the phone.

"What's wrong?" He couldn't help asking.

Yuan Xu raised his eyes to look at him, his eyes were a little dazed, as if he hadn't recovered, he shook his head after two seconds: "...it's nothing, there's something at home."

"Want to help?" Xiang Zhiyuan blurted out.

After he finished speaking, he also felt that it was inappropriate. The situation just now was obviously a housework. How could he help, but when he wanted to change his words again, Yuan Xu had already forced a smile and said, "It's nothing, thank you for sending me off. return."

This is an eviction order.Xiang Zhiyuan understood.

Just at this time, Uncle Fang came out of the building with a file bag, he was taken aback when he saw that he was still there, and came to find Yuan Xu.

"Xiaoxu, didn't your mother tell me? I have to take you there, and I'll ask classmate Xiao Xiang to come over to play next time?"

"I'm leaving now. Goodbye, Uncle Fang." Xiang Zhiyuan nodded to him, then turned to Yuan Xu, and said in a low voice, "Contact me anytime if you have anything to do, see you tomorrow."

Yuan Xu glanced at him and said in a low voice, "Okay."

Then he followed Uncle Fang into the car, didn't stay any longer, and left quickly.

Xiang Zhiyuan looked at the back of the car going away, and felt that things must not be that simple, but now he is at most a friend of Yuan Xu, and he really can't help him with anything, and he is not even qualified to listen to what the other party has to say. It can only be done like this.

He didn't leave immediately, and looked at the building of Yuan Xu's house at the gate of the community for a while, and waited until a car drove up to enter the gate, then he got on the car and walked slowly along the road where Yuan Xu usually went to school .

When he got home, he found that Jiang Jing was not there. Aunt Lan said that she had accompanied Xiang Shaoyan to the reception, and the dinner was ready and put on the table for Xiang Zhiyuan to eat by herself, so she had to go home too.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

Xiang Zhiyuan said goodbye to her, went upstairs to put away her schoolbag and then went down to wash her hands, he was the only one left at home.

The dishes were basically the same as those eaten at noon. Aunt Lan set aside materials to make a new portion for him, and cut a small plate of iced watermelon and put it in the refrigerator for him to eat after dinner.Xiang Zhiyuan was not in the mood to eat for the time being, so he took out the plate of watermelon and sat on the sofa to eat slowly.

He ate two pieces, and the almonds ran over from some corner, squeezed beside him and stood up to eat.Xiang Zhiyuan patted its little head and lifted up the plate: "You can't eat this."

Almond was bouncing around and wanted to pick up the watermelon plate, so he had to stand up to get the freeze-dried one, and use his free hand to feed the greedy kitten, so he managed to find some peace.

"You seem to be getting fatter and fatter." After feeding and freeze-drying, he reached out to touch the round almond belly, calculated the time, and found that the fat cat was only less than two months old, and he had already eaten himself like a chestnut. It was so heavy at the age of one month, "I have to reduce your ration a little later, what if you eat so much and you accumulate food?"

Xingren hugged his hand and licked it twice, and let out an innocent "meow", completely unaware that he was about to be deprived of food, and why the master was so worried, he licked off the freeze-dried smell and ran away.

Xiang Zhiyuan only had time to take a picture of a furry afterimage. He shook his head helplessly, and then looked at the room of the three cats. Walnut was poking around the door, staring at the freeze-dried jar in his hand.

Half a minute later, he successfully lured the walnuts with the sound of shaking the jar. First, he rubbed two handfuls. After taking the photo, he rewarded it with a freeze-dried piece, and then sent both photos to Yuan Xu.

——Almonds that are less than two months old and walnuts that are two years old are really big oranges. 【Photo.jpg】【Photo.jpg】

As expected, Yuan Xu didn't reply him.

He waited for a while, feeling a little bored, and knew in his heart that he could no longer be so idle, so he went upstairs to do the questions listlessly.

Originally, he thought he could get the answer from Yuan Xu the next day, but Xiang Zhiyuan went to look for him in the base camp of the first class in the morning, but was told that Yuan Xu had asked for leave.

"His family called the head teacher to ask for leave, saying that he had to ask for a week's leave because of something urgent, so of course he won't come today." Lao Jin glanced at him and said doubtfully, "You two have a good relationship, he didn't tell you in advance. You?"

Xiang Zhiyuan shook his head: "No."

Don't tell him, Yuan Xu didn't even reply to the message he sent, otherwise he wouldn't have come here foolishly to ask his whereabouts.

"Maybe it's really urgent and I don't have time to pick up my phone."

Lao Jin didn't take it seriously, patted him on the shoulder, turned around and went back to work.Yuan Xu's failure to come was equivalent to abstaining from the 1500-meter final. He had to take the leave note signed by the teacher to help explain the situation at the registration office, otherwise class civilization points would be deducted for innocent absences.

There were several competitions in the morning, and there were people coming and going on the road. Xiang Zhiyuan stood in the first class for a while, and felt that he was a little in the way, so he turned and went back to his class to look for Deng Yue.

"I'm going to ask for a leave of absence after running 1500 in a while, please tell Tong Xiaojun for help."

"Ah?" Deng Yue was stunned, "Why do you want to ask for leave at this time, Tong Xiaojun doesn't know where to go."

Looking around, there was indeed no sign of their dear sports committee near the base camp. All the teachers in the department were either watching the game or going to a meeting, and they couldn't find anyone for a while. It was really not easy for him to sign this leave note.Xiang Zhiyuan went out to look for it for 10 minutes, but no one was found, so he finally gave up.

Deng Yue also helped him search around, and came to a conclusion: "Maybe it's a meeting, even Lao Liang is not here."

Xiang Zhiyuan nodded helplessly, and stood in front of the vending machine to scan the QR code to buy water.

"Brother Yuan, why did you ask for leave?"

"I want to go out for a while." Xiang Zhiyuan said.

He wanted to go downstairs to Yuan Xu's house on impulse just now, but after he calmed down, he felt that this behavior was really suspicious. Anyway, he couldn't ask for leave anyway, so let it go.

But he was really choking and panicking, and felt uncomfortable.

Obviously everything was fine yesterday, but after one night he suddenly couldn't find anyone, as if the seeds that had germinated with difficulty were cut off, what should people do?

Uncle Fang is a good person, and the reason why Xuxu didn't reply to the message will be explained later.
