25 hour

Shen Teng's long hair probably started to grow when he was twelve or thirteen years old.

I don’t remember the specific reason, probably there is no specific reason, but one day I suddenly found in the mirror that his hair had grown enough to be tied into a pigtail at the back of his head, so the boy curled his hair and tilted his head to study it for a while , suddenly decided to just continue to stay, and see how long it can stay.

Shen Teng's hair is black and shiny, with a bit of curly hair, which is not quite the same as Shen Yuru's (and his mother, whom he has hardly met), the naturally soft, lighter hair, and this is also Shen Teng's body. One of the few glimpses belongs to the genetic traits of his (not to mention unseen) father.

Shen Teng has been beautiful since he was a child. He has the kind of oriental bone appearance that can be admired regardless of nationality. With long hair, he has often been mistaken for a girl.

Under normal circumstances, the combination of the words "Asian" and "male and female" can attract more than one extremely bad bullying on Western campuses, and Shen Teng is no exception, but the first time he encountered The first and only time of bullying, in the end he almost took the position of "bully".

According to Shen Yuru's later memories, she rushed to the school after receiving a call from the principal that day. When she watched the surveillance video in the school office, her mentality collapsed like never before.

The scene in the video is from the campus restaurant. A well-built boy passed by the table of Shen Jiaying and his friends, grinning and saying something. The next second, Shen Jiaying, who had been obviously thinner for more than a circle, got up and put the food on the table. The disc was caught in the opponent's face, and a knee knocked the boy to the ground.

The movement was too fast and precise, and it needed slow motion at 0.25 times speed to see the whole process clearly. At the end of the screen, Shen Jiaying, who had long hair hanging down to her collarbone, raised her head and smiled in the direction of the camera. .

Shen Yuru later told her grandson that a big word popped up in her heart at that time: It's over, and another anti-social element has been educated.But in fact, after learning about the specific situation and promising compensation, she looked at the school representatives and the parents of the "victim" who spoke uprightly, and asked slowly: "His long hair has never hurt anyone before. But why did you hurt him in the first place?"

The extremely short-sighted and unreasonable question, but in Shen Yuru's soft tone, he asked everyone dumb, and finally let Shen Jiaying, who was sitting lazily outside the office and counting the birds outside the window, waiting for the notice of dismissal, was relieved of the "cleaning All penalties other than one week of the swimming pool.

The bell at the door rang, and the office door, which symbolized the ruler, opened. Shen Jiaying bounced off the chair reflexively the first moment Shen Yuru's sheepskin shoes stepped out, and took advantage of the opportunity to pick up the schoolbag that I don't know if it will be useful after today. Obediently followed grandma and left the school building.

But Shen Yuru didn't ask him any questions about this "campus bullying".

The school's gravel road, the straight street, the winding alley, the bakery, the newsagent, and finally the flower shop on the corner.Shen Yuru didn't say a word to him.

When the woman finally came out of the flower shop with a bunch of bellflowers in her arms, Shen Jiaying, who had been wearing a meaningless smile all day, finally couldn't hold on anymore, her eyes were red, and she bit her back molars hard.

--I am always thinking.

Shen Yuru finally spoke slowly.

——If Edwin came today, would he handle it better than me? After all, he has always had more in common with you.

While the boy was looking up in a panic, Shen Yuru stood on the steps, lowered her eyes, but her gesture of holding flowers seemed to be even more defeated than him.

But she was still laughing.

But Shen Yuru said: But Jiaying, I can't think of it.

She couldn't imagine what that scene would be like.

Ah, just remembered.

Shen Teng didn't cut his hair short again, because since Edwin came to their house, he has been in charge of fixing the children's hair. If he is not around, no one will take care of it.

And during the two and a half years when Edwin was there, Shen Jiaying's hairstyle was always close to the cool length of the inch head, and the delicate facial features were forced to be completely exposed to the sun-the little boy was quite critical of this before, but the man was relying on it at the time The height advantage held down the child's kiwi-like head, and replied with a big smile: "Get more exposure to the sun, this will help you grow taller, Jiaying!"

Shen Teng raised his head in front of the sink.

Even the bathrooms in the city of music are extremely elegant. What lingers in my ears at this moment is no longer the "Baikal Lakeside" played by the street performers, but it has been replaced with the classic "Jacqueline's Tears" which cannot be more classic.

It's pretty realistic.However, the self in the mirror had just splashed water on his cheeks, and at this moment, apart from the slight redness in his eyes, there seemed to be no flaws.

Shen Teng propped his hands on the stage, turned his head sideways, and carefully brushed away the long hair that was accidentally stained with water by his ear - the right earlobe that was blocked before was bright red, not only that, but also a black gemstone earring .

It's really gay.Shen Ting smiled.

It took Gay so many years to think about getting his ears pierced, because he was afraid of the pain and only pierced one side in the end, and he was really embarrassed to say it—well, this is the good thing he just dumped Qin Zheng to do.

The address dictated by the classmate in Vienna was quite accurate, and what was even better was that the small shop that required an appointment for ear piercings hadn't closed down for so many years.

Shen Teng tried to touch the obviously red and swollen earlobe with his fingertips, and immediately let out a "hiss" from the pain.

Will this place be more sensitive in the future?

He frowned subconsciously thinking of some unnecessary details, and grinned amusedly at the fact that he could still think of such unnecessary details at this time.

Hmm, these dirty thoughts should be buried together with the ear piercing as a secret, don't tell Qin Zheng.

But... when he goes out, will Qin Zheng still be there?

"Jacqueline's Tears" reached its climax, and Shen Teng couldn't help humming along.

On the washbasin, the phone that was originally off was powered by the wireless charging device and turned back on in a timely manner.

The incoming call ringtone rang at the same time.

Qin Zheng sat on the bench on the subway platform and hung up the call application from China again.

The old man couldn't get through to Qin Zheng's phone number these two days, so he changed the policy of being soft again and called his son's youngest Ji Chen to help.But be it Ji Chen or his father, everyone is the same, Qin Zheng doesn't want to talk to them.

nothing to say.

Apart from "why did you go abroad suddenly", "why didn't you return" and "when did you return", they seemed to have no other questions to ask him, but Qin Zheng himself really knew the answers to these questions. Is everything clear?

—Have you nothing else to ask?

No more.

Qin Zheng didn't need others to ask him, and he never asked others too much.

He doesn't need Shen Tom to list all the past in front of the two of them, just relying on the existing fragments is enough for him to piece together Shen Tom's past.

The little Shen Jiaying grew up beside her beautiful and intelligent grandmother, who was full of charm as a lover. Although it was embarrassing that she could not accompany them for too long, she also left enough touching memories for the mother-in-law and grandson.Shen Teng's life experience is not very complete, but he has indeed grown up being loved, which is very good. When Qin Zheng realized this, he was sincerely relieved for Shen Teng.

This is very good, just like the name Shen Tiao gave himself, he didn't suffer too much.

Except for the unexpected death of his relatives, Shen Teng's life was almost smooth sailing, to the point where he began to feel bored and looked for new and exciting things everywhere.The acquaintance between Shen Teng and Qin Zheng may also be based on this - out of curiosity and interest, he took the initiative to ask for Qin Zheng's lighter, and exchanged it for an unforgettable one night stand (one-night stand).

Qin Zheng is a blind spice in Shen Teng's boring life. Although the taste is extremely strong, it is not a substitute for redemption or drugs. When you think of it, you can play it for fun. When you don't need it, you can do it anytime. throw off.

In fact, Shen Teng almost did this.

Maybe he shouldn't have said that, Qin Zheng put his arms on his knees and crossed his fingers thinking about it.

—Have you nothing else to ask?

—No, now the story is complete.

To others, this question and answer may be unremarkable or even confusing, but it is not the case for Shen Teng.

The man stopped suddenly after Qin Zheng's answer, and hurriedly turned around after saying "I'm going to the bathroom", but all Qin Zheng could do was stand still and watch Shen Teng leave without looking back.

As he was used to.

In fact, he shouldn't be waiting here, Qin Zheng knows it very well.

Obviously, he has developed a good habit since he was very young. If he can't get something, he simply doesn't look at it again.

For a long time, Shen Tengben has also belonged to this category.

A tram map of Vienna with deplorable precision halfway out of a jacket pocket.

The subway enters the station for the third time.

Shen Teng still hasn't come back.

"Where are you?"

On the other side of the subway station, Shen Yuru, who took the initiative to call, asked on the phone.

"In the public restroom, dear grandma."

Shen Teng answered patiently, and especially emphasized the word "public".

He could hear the clinking of cups and cups on the other side of the call. He listened carefully, and even exaggerated it could be said to be a little greedy. It seemed that he used the synaesthesia to describe the appearance of grandma sitting by the floor lamp drinking tea in the mirror in front of him.

"Turn on the video." The woman ordered him slowly.

Shen Tomato couldn't help laughing: "Is this not good? You want to see how corrupt the nightclub's environment is?"

He intentionally made his tone playful, but Shen Yuru didn't like this at all: "What nightclub actually plays Offenbach, the taste is good, let me see."

Shen Teng was a little helpless.

The woman's tone is not urgent, leisurely, but her attitude is very strong, just like the phone call she made unexpectedly tonight, she may just suddenly want to make sure of something at this moment.

——In fact, she can always do it successfully, because Shen Teng will never have anything to do with her.

"Are you crying?"

Shen Yuru is still so sharp even after eight hundred miles of network cable.Blame the damn 1.08 million high-definition pixels of this phone lens.

Answering her at this time, "Yes, because my girlfriend just said something that was not sensational but was over-interpreted by me, I suddenly remembered your fiancé who died early and couldn't help feeling sad for those days we passed away." Put it back against the wall, turn on the faucet and wipe off the tears that were no longer visible in your eyes, and replied in a nonchalant tone: "Yes, I was kissed by someone."

"...Shen, Jia, Ying."

Shen Yuru finally began to grit her teeth.

The prank was successful, Shen Teng laughed and staggered, picked up the hat hanging on one hook, bowed his head and began to straighten his hair.

After calming down, he remembered Qin Zheng's appearance just now.

For so many years, Shen Teng has not mentioned his life experience to others, but no matter how well-bred the other party is, there will always be silent pity and care in his eyes... In short, he will not be like Qin Zheng, Calmly as if just listening to an ancient story thousands of years ago.

Shen Teng couldn't help feeling a little disappointed, but unexpectedly, he seemed to breathe another sigh of relief in his heart.

It turns out that what I have been waiting for is such a response, Shen Teng thought.

Someone seemed to be coming in from outside the bathroom. I didn't hear the sound of a step closer. Maybe it was another unlucky guy who was confused by Shen Ma's long hair and looked up to check the male and female signs at the door.

After a brief silence, Shen Yuru's tone of voice was somewhat strange when she spoke again.

"Is it the person behind you...?"

what?

Shen Teng raised his head absently... he was so stunned that he saw Qin Zheng's figure in the mirror in a daze.

Damn it, why is he still approaching.

One step, two steps.

Qin Zheng walked up to Shen Teng's side, lowered his head, approached the camera that was about to be crushed by the lady opposite, and politely curled the corners of his lips - he even remembered to calculate that there was no time difference between Vienna and Budapest, which were also located in the East District.

"Good evening, Grandma."
