The summer afternoon was scorching hot.The sunlight was cut and scattered all over the ground by the leaves of the tall sycamore tree. He stepped on the broken sunlight and followed the steps of the people before him.The pedestrians beside him walked hurriedly.

"Yubing!"

He heard someone calling him, so he looked back, only to see a vast sea of ​​people.There was a lot of traffic, the cars on the overpass whizzed past, the sound of the wind and the sound of the horns of the cars speeding up one after another, he turned his head in doubt, and quickly caught up with the people in front of him with puzzled doubts.

Xia Yubing was woken up by the loud roar of the plane when it landed. It was almost dusk when she got her checked luggage and walked out of the airport sleepily after a nearly three-hour flight.The afterglow of the setting sun in winter falls on the people who are in a hurry on the street, giving a layer of warmth to the people in the cold.Standing under the eaves were many people who were waiting to pick him up. Xia Yubing crossed the crowd and looked at the distant horizon. He was stunned for a long time at the line of orange and yellow hair. Then he pulled the suitcase and waved to stop a taxi. After that, I sat in.

When the driver asked him where his destination was, he was stunned for more than half a minute before saying the familiar but jerky name after not saying it for a long time.The driver smiled and chattered with him, but Xia Yubing seldom said anything, and always just responded a few times lightly, and the driver who found it boring gradually stopped talking.

Thinking about it carefully, I haven't been back for more than half a year.And this time when he returned home, he didn't even notify anyone.He thought, when he got home, he probably had no other possibility except the babysitter he might bump into as before.As expected, when he pushed the door open, he saw an empty living room.But when he went upstairs to the bedroom, the people in the room startled him.

"Oh, Xiaoyu is back?" The one who spoke was Aunt Chen, who had worked in their family for many years.

Xia Yubing nodded.Aunt Chen walked up to him in surprise and looked at him: "I haven't seen you for half a year, and I've become a lot more handsome. Look at this, your parents will definitely be very happy to see you. By the way, your mother told me yesterday You have come home these few days, so I asked you to tidy up your room and ventilate the room, no, you came back not long after I just said."

Hearing that this was his mother's order at first, Xia Yubing was a little surprised, and his thoughts were a little complicated, but he still smiled.For so many years, Aunt Chen spent more time with him than his parents.

"But I still don't like to talk. Hey, you're still pulling the suitcase. Do you want Auntie to tidy it up for you?" Aunt Chen was about to pull the suitcase as she spoke, but was stopped by Xia Yubing. "It's fine if I come, you don't need to tidy up the room, I'll do the rest." After several prevarications, Aunt Chen finally compromised, and asked him instead: "Are you hungry? Auntie will heat up food for you? "

Xia Yubing, who had no intention of eating, shook her head, "I'm not hungry."

"Have you had dinner? Are you really hungry? Hot food only takes a few minutes, no trouble."

Xia Yubing still shook his head: "I'm really not hungry, and it's almost time, you should go home too."

Aunt Chen looked at the time and said with a smile: "That's right. I said I would leave after finishing your room, but now it's almost finished and you're back. Are you really hungry?"

Seeing this, Xia Yubing had no choice but to lie: "I've already eaten outside, so I'm not hungry now."

Aunt Chen smiled: "You child, are you trying to drive Auntie away? But forget it, just leave Auntie."

Xia Yubing nodded and said, "Be careful on the road."

Aunt Chen's face was full of joy when she heard the words: "Auntie knows, she is really a sensible and good boy, if only my kid can be half as good as you."

After watching Aunt Chen leave, Xia Yubing tidied up the things in the suitcase for a while, took a shower with her tired eyelids stretched, then slumped on the bed and closed her eyes.

According to what Aunt Chen said just now, his mother is at home but just went out?You should be back by now, right?Or did she go out tonight and never come back?Xia Yubing thought in a daze.After an unknown amount of time, there was a faint sound of opening and closing the door downstairs, and the drowsy Xia Yubing suddenly woke up, listening attentively to the sound of footsteps getting closer.Gradually, the footsteps stopped, and he heard his mother's knock on the door: "Xiaoyu?"

The lights in the room were not turned off, and the lights that could not be turned off would leak through the crack of the door, letting people know that there might be someone in the room, but Xia Yubing did not answer.

Mother Xia yelled several times, but seeing no one answered, she gently unlocked the door.The light in the room was very bright, and the person on the bed was lying on his back with his eyes closed, breathing evenly, and seemed to be sleeping soundly.

After a long time, Xia's mother walked to the bed lightly, and stretched out her hand as if she wanted to touch the sleeping person, but the outstretched hand stopped in mid-air for a while and finally retracted.Xia Yubing never opened his eyes from the beginning to the end.

I don't know how long it has passed, but if he could still hear his mother's breathing, Xia Yubing almost thought that there was no one else in the room except him.Suddenly, he felt himself being lightly covered with a quilt.Xia Yubing was so excited that he almost opened his eyes, but he still held back.

There was another sound of footsteps, the lights were extinguished with a snap, and Xia Yubing opened his eyes amidst the soft closing of the door.The room was pitch black, pitch black.Xia Yubing opened his eyes and stared blankly for a long time. Suddenly, the notification bell rang, and the screen of the phone that was charging on the table lit up, dispelling the surrounding darkness.

Xia Yubing was stunned for a moment, got out of the bed with bare feet, stepped on the blanket, walked slowly to the table, picked up the phone and checked, it happened to be a message from Qu Hedong.

@曲: /狗头/ Are you back home?

@夏虫: Yes.And you

@曲: Me?My home is so close to the school, /狗头/ Would you believe me if I said it?

@夏虫: Letter.

@曲: /The other party throws a pig at you without saying a word/

Xia Yubing looked at the emoji and wanted to laugh, and he seemed to see the depression on Qu Hedong's face through the screen.

@曲: Have you eaten?

@夏虫: No.

Qu Hedong immediately sent him a picture of a table of sumptuous dishes, followed by a smiling emoji.

@曲: Eat it.

@夏虫：……

@曲: This is all done by my brother, do you believe it?

@夏虫: I may not believe that you did it.

@曲:....../The other party throws a dog at you without saying a word/

@夏虫: But you managed to whet my appetite.feeling a little hungry

@曲: Is there no one at home?

@夏虫: There is no one who cooks for me.

@曲: Do it yourself and have enough food and clothing. /dog head/

@夏虫: Forget it, I have no energy.

@曲: Shall I order you a takeaway?

@夏虫: How do you know what I want to eat?

@曲: I will eat whatever I order, as if I am treating you to a meal. /dog head/

Xia Yubing is a little moved by this idea, unknown is sometimes a kind of fun, but considering her mother who just came here, she is inevitably a little hesitant.

@曲: Give me your home address /狗头/

@曲: Please don’t even eat?That's fine... I'll just...

@夏虫: All right, you can order.

He thought that his mother probably saw his state, and it didn't matter if he bumped into him or not, so he sent the address.

@曲: /狗头/ Just wait, it will be ready soon.

Looking at the screen, Xia Yubing unconsciously curled the corners of his mouth.
