The moon is getting brighter and rounder, and it will be Mid-Autumn Festival in the blink of an eye.

In the 3211 dormitory, Lu Yan put his mobile phone to his ear, mouthing one from his mother and father, bouncing back and forth, like a child happily.

"Are you going home for Mid-Autumn Festival?" Qu Hedong looked at Xia Yubing.

Xia Yubing didn't answer, he was a little dazed thinking about a picture that appeared repeatedly in his dream last night.

A silver-gray van covered with thick dust, the body and the mud marks splashed on it when the car crossed the muddy road.The car was traveling on an unfamiliar and remote road, with thick shadows on both sides of the road blocking out the sun. Occasionally, a row of houses appeared, which looked like a small village.

Xia Yubing could clearly see the license plate number of that car, which came from a place he had never been to.

baffling.Xia Yubing thought, but his dreams are always inexplicable, this is not so unusual.

Qu Hedong looked at Xia Yubing who was staring blankly with peach blossom eyes, his heart skipped a beat, and he stretched out his hands to ruffle his hair, it was very soft, Qu Hedong squinted his eyes comfortably.

Xia Yubing was obviously not that comfortable.

"How many times have I told you not to rub my hair." Xia Yubing gave him a blank look.These days, he found that Qu Hedong especially likes to rub his hair, which is called "it feels so comfortable to the touch". It's just that they look at each other with blank eyes.Xia Yubing thought vaguely, if this goes on like this, he probably won't even bother to roll his eyes.

"Going home for Mid-Autumn Festival?" Qu and Dong Rou repeated what they had just said.

Xia Yubing was silent for a long time and said, "I won't call back." He remembered the missed calls on his phone, some were from his father, but more were from his mother.

It seems that I haven't called home for a long time.Xia Yubing vaguely recalled how his parents were ecstatic after receiving the admission letter and then became distraught. Thinking of the formalized smiles on their parents' faces at the university banquet, his heart sank.

Both his parents who were in business wanted him to major in finance, but he obviously didn't do what they wanted.Although the parents later compromised, Xia Yubing could still feel the dissatisfaction in the hearts of the two of them, which made the communication between father and son, mother and son, who were less talkative, less frequent than before.

Hearing this, Gao Long walked over, patted Xia Yubing on the shoulder and said, "Aren't you coming back? Then I have company!"

"Aren't you going back? Your home doesn't look very far from here." Qu Hedong asked.

Gao Long smiled mysteriously: "I will have fellow villagers' meetings this Mid-Autumn Festival."

"Oh...your goddess is here too?" Qu Hedong said.

"As expected of Brother Dong, I saw her in the fellow villager group, and she said that she will also participate in fellowship activities this year." Gao Long clapped his hands excitedly when he said this.

"How far have you guys developed?" Qu Hedong looked at him mockingly.

"Well..." Gao Long scratched his head embarrassingly: "Of course it's a pure friendship. We just have some contact in the club." It's funny to say, for the sake of the goddess, a 1.8-meter rough guy Tian participated in the recruiting of a manga club that was full of yin and yang, and the manga club recruited him without hesitation seeing the current situation, so he was honored to become a little green among the thousands of flowers in the manga club.

"Aren't the kids coming back?" Qu Hedong looked at Lu Yan who was chatting with his parents.

Although Lu Yan and his parents had a lively chat, he still noticed the movement here: "Are you talking about me? I won't go home for the Mid-Autumn Festival, but my parents said they would come to see me and come for a trip by the way." .” After finishing speaking, he continued to talk to his parents on the other end of the phone: “Yeah, yes, I was talking to my roommate just now…”

Gao Long looked at Lu Yan and said, "It's really a baby bump in the family. Aren't you going back?" Gao Long turned to look at Qu Hedong.

Qu Hedong shook their heads, "It doesn't matter if I go back or not, I have no one at home."

"Is there no one at home?"

"Yes, my father and my brother are abroad all year round. My mother will go to my brother's place this year." Qu Hedong said.

Hearing this, Xia Yubing raised her head and glanced at him.

"Hey, you still have an older brother. I haven't heard you mention it." Gao Long asked.

"What's there to mention?" As if thinking of something, Qu Hedong's eyes drifted a little, and his voice became softer.

"I don't have any brothers and sisters. If I hadn't had a bunch of buddies before, I would have been bored to death. I just envied those of you who have brothers and sisters. Hey, how is your relationship?" Gao Long approached and asked.

Lu Yan had already hung up the phone at this moment, and upon hearing this, he also leaned over and asked, "Are you talking about the only child? Me too." Lu Yan raised his paw.

"Oh, we are together, buddy." Gao Long put his arm around Lu Yan's shoulder.The two sympathetic and sympathetic two began to talk about "the good and bad of only children", and the two chatted enthusiastically, as if no one was there.

Xia Yubing and Qu Hedong looked at each other: "..." These two living treasures.

"Do you have an older brother?" Xia Yubing asked him.

Qu Hedong nodded: "My brother is three years older than me, and now he is studying in a university in the United States."

"Do you have a good relationship?"

"It's okay." Qu Hedong thought for a while and said. "Are you an only child?"

"...Not really." Xia Yubing's eyes darkened upon hearing this.

"What does it mean?" Qu Hedong looked at him in surprise.

"I also had an older brother who was five years older than me. But..." Xia Yubing didn't continue.

Seeing this, Qu Hedong patted him on the shoulder, and said softly, "If you don't want to talk about it, then forget it."

Hearing the words, Xia Yubing raised his head to meet his eyes, as if they were soft enough to overflow water, his heart suddenly moved, it seemed that it would be okay to just say that, he thought to himself.

He did have an older brother, but when he was five years old, the two were kidnapped and blackmailed at the same time. In the end, he came back safely, but his older brother never came back.But this matter, except for Mo Ya, he never told anyone else since he was a child.

After a long silence, he said, "Let's talk about it later."

Qu Hedong's eyes brightened upon hearing this, does this mean that they will tell him later?But instead of asking, he asked about his vacation plans.

"Do you have any plans for the Mid-Autumn Festival?" Qu Hedong asked.

After hearing this, Xia Yubing thought for a while and said, "I remember some kind of dinner party at the school."

"Are you going?" Qu Hedong asked.

"I'm not very familiar with them, but if you go, I will go. Anyway, if you are idle, you are idle."

Qu Hedong smiled when he heard the words, "Then it's settled?" He stretched out his hand, "Givemefive"

Xia Yubing stretched out his hand and patted it.

At night, Xia Yubing dreamed as usual, and the van appeared repeatedly in the dream, as if waking up for something.

He also dreamed about the past, that vague past.

The young child was held by the teenager and ran wildly in one deep alley after another, out of breath, and the people behind him chased after each other closely.

"Yubing, do you...remember what I told you?" the boy asked him out of breath.

"Then run out of this road and into the street. Keep running and don't look back."

"Don't worry about brother, brother is fine, just remember, you can see me when you get home."

"Remember to keep running, do you hear me?"

"Run! Run quickly!"

Then he ran wildly on short legs, and ran out of the place where his brother was buried.

He eventually returned home, but never saw his brother again.
