Friends list

Chapter 3

Most of September has passed, and the temperature does not seem to converge at night.

After being bored at home all day, Mu Yan went downstairs to eat the first meal of the day, but by coincidence, he bumped into the kid downstairs again.

When he came out of the convenience store, the man was riding his bicycle down a small slope. He first passed the streetlights that he had to pass on the way back to the building, and then trotted all the way listening to the clang behind him.

Pushing the cart to keep up, Yu Yule deliberated for a few seconds before opening his mouth. It was still the most commonplace sentence, "The weather is really nice today, isn't it?" Feng, "...it's just a little hot."

Mu Yan continued to walk forward without saying a word.

Subconsciously swallowed, Yu Yule probed to follow, "What did you just buy, I saw you coming out of the convenience store..." Before he could finish speaking, the person in front of him suddenly stopped, startling him, unconsciously Start to defend first, "I, we met by chance... No, no, it's not considered a nuisance..."

Lifting his eyes coldly, Mu Yan said, wait for me here, then turned and went upstairs.

Not knowing what he wanted to wait for, Yu Yule still stayed where he was told.

When Mu Yan had finished eating and was leaning against the window to smoke a cigarette, he found that the child was still waiting at the place where they were separated.In the middle of the empty and messy parking lot, he sat quietly on his bicycle, looking lonely and pitiful.

The word lack of heart came up again, and Mu Yan laughed, but he didn't mean to blame himself at all.At such a young age, someone must teach him to experience the dangers of the human heart.

Later, when Mu Yan thought of this period between him and Yu Yule, he would be curious and even puzzled.An unlucky child who has difficulty in communicating and can't speak half a sentence in front of strangers, why does he look like a chatterbox in front of himself.

He couldn't figure it out, so he had to be grateful, it was God's preference for him.

Mu Yan didn't know when the people would return home afterwards.After a few days, he found that the water pipe in the bathroom was broken.

Every accessory in this building is older than him.In the middle of the night, he pried open the tiles by himself to find the location of the aging water pipes. Judging from the flooding of the tiles, the downstairs probably had become a water curtain hole long ago.At this time, he couldn't find a repairman, so he went out to buy water pipes after a simple treatment.

When I came back upstairs, I knocked on the door on the fifth floor first.

The children are at home.

After glancing at the man who was brushing his teeth with a schoolbag on his back, Mu Yan went straight to his bathroom.As he expected, the ground was full of pots of plastic bottles, and the roof was ticking like it was raining.He turned around to look at Yu Yule, and wanted to ask Ming why he didn't look for him when he knew there was a water leak upstairs, but he figured it out before he could say anything.

He dared not knock on the door.

"Why don't you ask the landlord to deal with it."

Standing behind him, Yu Yule wiped the foam off her mouth.It was too late for him to finish class every day, and he was afraid of disturbing others, so he wanted to wait until he was on vacation.He thought smoothly in his heart, but his mouth couldn't keep up, and he seemed to be distracted.

"I'm asking you something." Mu Yan stared at him without opening his mouth.

The child's eyes are very beautiful, tiny blue blood vessels can be faintly seen under the clean and clear skin around the eyes, and the most ordinary blinking will make people distracted.Only by looking closely can one see his shallow inner eyes and bright youthful posture, subtly suppressing and digesting the hostility of others.

"Give me the key, and I'll find someone to fix it tomorrow." Mu Yan raised his eyebrows when he saw that the person was still in a daze, "Don't you believe me?"

Yu Yule shook his head quickly, ran into the bedroom and took out the spare key, handed it to Mu Yan, thought for a while and said, "Thank you."

Mu Yan nodded, "Go and rinse your mouth."

After Yu Le rinsed his mouth, Mu Yan had already left.

The next day when he came back from school, Yu Youle went in and saw that the bathroom was leaking, so he threw down his schoolbag and ran upstairs to thank Mu Yan.

Mu Yan threw the key back to him without saying a word.

Seeing that the person was still indifferent, Yu Youle was afraid that he would be annoyed, so he hurriedly said the key points, "I will pay you back the repair fee."

"No, my water pipe is broken." The moment the door closed, Mu Yan saw the child's face that hesitated to speak.

When he went out the next day, Mu Yan found that the garbage at the door was gone, but there was an extra pear on the abandoned mailbox by the door, which was placed in a crisper with a note pressed under the box.

"This kind of pear is really sweet, you can try it. The ceiling where it rains is very interesting, but the bathroom without an umbrella is better. If you don't eat the pear, please put it back at my door, thank you."

The words on the note were handsome and powerful, not quite like a child's handwriting.After reading it, Mu Yan stuffed the note into the mailbox, hesitated for a moment, then leaned in and put the pear on the nearby dining table.

Going home at night, Mu Yan heard a knock on the door after entering the door.He subconsciously thought it was that troublesome kid, but when he opened the door, it was really not this time.

Without waiting for his permission, the boy outside the door walked in on his own, looked around the room arrogantly, looked at Mu Yan from head to toe again, and raised the corners of his mouth pretendingly, "Mu Xiao asked me to come. .”

Well, this time it really came.

The visitor sat on the sofa, unbuttoned two buttons, and looked at Mu Yan again.

The person seemed to go back to his own home freely, but Mu Yan didn't even have the interest to tease this time, so he asked casually, "What do you want to drink?"

The boy raised his legs, "Milk."

"No milk."

The boy stared at Mu Yan back and forth, hooking the corners of his lips, "You have it, why don't you have it?"

Mu Yan chuckled lightly, but didn't speak.In the past, when Mu Xiao sent people, he would tease people if he was in a good mood, and would not even let them in if he was in a bad mood.With this in front of him, he couldn't keep up his spirits.

The two looked at each other for a moment, the boy got up and pulled Mu Yan, pushed him into the sofa and sat on him, "Mr. Mu seems dissatisfied with me?"

Mu Yan raised his eyebrows, "Where is it?"

Seeing him laughing, the boy shook his head and turned his head to mutter, "...It's really brothers, the same smiling faces are so annoying."

To tell you the truth, this person is so good-looking that he can't find any faults, with a protruding nose, thin lips and red phoenix eyes, even if he looks resentful at the moment, he is still one of the best little widows.But Mu Yan really doesn't like this kind of beauty with too much impact. After so many years, it's really Mu Xiao's oversight.

He tilted his head slightly, and his words were not out of tune, "I know him at best, it doesn't matter if you annoy him, don't take your anger on me, it's not good to confuse him."

"Yeah." The boy looked at Mu Yan without hesitation, and then muttered inadvertently, "It's worse than him."

Mu Yan felt a little happy in his heart, thinking that he was not a human being. Since he was a child, he had never heard anyone say that he was inferior to that scourge.He supported the waist of the person on him, and pushed the person away calmly, "Being a child, Mu Xiao likes to trick me into giving me things he doesn't want, and you, he also didn't want it?"

Hearing this, the boy's expression changed instantly, he stood up staring at the man, as if his teeth were about to be gritted, and walked away without looking back when he slammed the door.

People came and went and stayed for less than 3 minutes in total.Mu Yan was leaning on the sofa and still pondering, his words hurt people?No, he hasn't said anything ugly yet.It's ridiculous.

After thinking about it, he only figured out that this might be someone who really likes Mu Xiao.

Blind without teasing.

Inexplicably, he recalled the child downstairs leaning against his arms and trembling.

The man ran away irresponsibly, Mu Yan felt bored and went downstairs to breathe.Then as soon as I got out of the unit, I saw a child riding a bicycle on a small road. I checked the time, and it was a few minutes before 09:30.

He should come home from get out of class at this time every day.

Mu Yan watched him from far to near, and then watched him park his bicycle in the overgrown parking space, and then watched him look down at the car for nearly 2 minutes, opening and closing his mouth, as if he was talking to himself .

After watching the car, the kid walked upstairs, looking at the moon, the tree, and the cardboard boxes beside the road. He was quite comfortable at first, but when he saw himself, he suddenly tensed up, and even bounced a little under the dim light.

Mu Yan watched him force out a smile that he didn't want to laugh but insisted on laughing, and he obviously ran around him into the building without wanting to be discovered.

"Hey," after people passed by, Mu Yan turned his head and heard himself say, "What's your name?"

Yu Youle had already run up a few steps, and when he heard him call himself, he ran down again, "Yu Youle."

Mu Yan responded vaguely, and was just about to take his pockets to leave, when he heard the child's voice again.

"...Mu Yan."

Mu Yan was a little surprised that the child knew his name.

"good evening."

After Yu Yule finished speaking, he continued to climb the stairs, leaving Muyan alone in a daze.

In addition to going out for consumption, when you enter the door, you can hear good evening, sir. Mu Yande has never heard such a greeting in almost 27 years.He chanted those three words again, and laughed out loud by himself.Good evening, this sounds silly enough, but also fucking innocent enough.

All the way to the convenience store, he couldn't help wondering whether his attitude towards the children was too much, making people leaking water and not daring to say hello. Seeing himself was like seeing Yasha.People may just be young, a little rowdy, and they haven't really done anything wrong.

After buying cigarettes and stepping on the steps, he suddenly remembered the way a child sat eating bread in the middle of the night.

He recalled that when he was in his third year of high school, he was either thinking about playing or doing it every day. All in all, it was because he was hungry. At the age of seventeen or eighteen, he was always hungry, which was normal. It was normal to come out to eat bread in the middle of the night.

But when he realized that he was no longer a high school student, he was already carrying the shrimp porridge from the shop next door.He was stunned for two seconds with the porridge in his hand, then walked to the side of the trash can, stretched out his hand, paused, then retracted it, turned his head and went to the fifth floor.

Seeing that Mu Yan brought the porridge to himself, Yu Yule couldn't accept it for a moment, and was more confused than Mu Yan, "For me?"

Mu Yan was quite speechless about his behavior. He even wanted to laugh when he asked such a question, thinking why would I knock on your door for someone else.

After thanking Yu Yule, he quickly took it over and thought for a long time, "You, do you want to come in and eat together?"

Mu Yan couldn't lift his eyelids and replied no, turned around and walked upstairs, but the child behind him called him again.

"Mu Yan..."

Mu Yan turned his head and his eyes fell on him casually.

"Good night."

The apartment has a total of six floors. The lights in the corridors on the fifth floor are all broken, but on the second floor they are fine. You can take ghost movies with flickering effects without filters.Mu Yan still ignored him, turned around and continued upstairs.

The child left the door open, and the light from the room snaked all the way upstairs to illuminate the stairs for him.When he reached the corner of the fifth floor, he couldn't help but let out a soft sigh. He went back to his own floor and opened the door, only to hear the door gently shut downstairs.

He didn't enter the door, and watched the faint light disappear, and the surroundings returned to darkness, feeling relaxed and happy after a long absence.

"It's so fucking innocent." Mu Yan muttered.

The next morning when he went out, Mu Yan put something on his mailbox again. In the crisper, there were three pieces of pastries of famous local brands that he never ate. He took out the small note at the bottom.

"Grandma Wang will share mine, and I will share it with you."

Mu Yan vaguely felt that he had better not send anything over, so as to avoid a cycle of pleasantries between neighbors.
