follow the light, fly

Lu Mingsu turned the car towards the door of his house, turned off the engine and jumped down, shouting loudly while running towards the door: "Mom! Mom! Your son is back!"

A middle-aged woman in an apron opened the door, called "Master", and stepped back to let him in.

"Aunt Li, it smells so good!" Lu Mingsu smiled at the woman beside him.

"The fish is steaming in the pot, it will be ready in 3 minutes." Aunt Li smiled and took the schoolbag from Lu Mingsu's hand.

"I mean you..." Lu Mingsu curled his lips, "The old lady forced you to wear perfume again?!"

Aunt Li smiled awkwardly, put her schoolbag in the locker by the door, turned and went into the kitchen.Lu Mingsu walked to the living room, calling Mom while walking, and threw himself on the sofa when he got to the edge of the sofa.

"Your mother is having fun, so she doesn't have time to pay attention to you." A thick voice suddenly came from above his head, Lu Mingsu was startled, jumped up abruptly and stood up straight.

"Dad!" Lu Mingsu lowered his head and called out softly, seeing the man in front of him take an evening newspaper to the dining table and sit down, he followed suit and sat on the chair next to him.

This man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and reading the evening newspaper has a masculine and upright face. Although he is old, his facial features are still correct, but there are some wrinkles on the corners of his eyes and forehead, and his temples are a little gray. He is Lu Mingsu's father—— Lu oak.

Lu Yue glanced out the window, looked down at the newspaper, and said with some dissatisfaction: "How many times have I said this, and the door is still blocked!"

As soon as Lu Mingsu heard this, he instinctively stood up and ran towards the door, but he was stopped after he had just run two steps—"Mingsu, what are you doing in such a hurry?!"

Lu Mingsu turned around and saw his mother coming down the stairs: "Dad told me to move the car."

"What kind of car are you moving?! You run away every time after eating, what are you doing moving around?!" Mother Lu walked quickly to his wife, grabbed the newspaper in his hand, and yelled at him.

"I didn't tell him to move." Lu Li hummed in a low voice with an aggrieved expression on his face, the majesty on his previous face was gone.

"Come here, sit next to mom," Lu's mother beckoned to her son, then turned her head and shouted to the kitchen, "Aunt Li, let's serve dinner."

"I'll help!" Lu Mingsu smiled and rushed into the kitchen, and returned to the dining table with two dishes.

Lu's mother looked at her son with a happy face, and kept putting fish with thorns in his bowl: "Didn't Xiao Yang say that you would come back later?"

"Oh, I sent a classmate, but his house lives across the street." Lu Mingsu swallowed his last mouthful of food, and suddenly found that there were a few more pieces of fish on the plate in front of him, and couldn't help raising the corners of his mouth, "By the way, Mom, I met Ni Yan today."

"Ni Yan?" Mother Lu was taken aback, "That classmate from junior high school?"

"Well, he's in the class next to mine. I met him at the opening ceremony. He won a special scholarship." Lu Mingsu said, subconsciously with a bit of complacency.

"Look at him!" Lu Li took a sip of tea and casually said something, which aroused dissatisfaction from his wife - "Educators said, you can't criticize children at the dinner table!"

Lu's mother looked at Lu Mingsu and said meaningfully: "Take him back for dinner some other day. It was the first Lantern Festival when our family moved to Jiangling. If he hadn't sent you back, you would have never known that you were kidnapped." Go to some ravine and cut off your hands and feet to beg for food!"

"Yes, yes, I know," Lu Mingsu ate the fish, and smirked, "He is my great benefactor, and I want to promise him a great kindness."

"You're such an adult, do you have a straight face?!" Hearing this, Lu Li suddenly slapped the table, glared at Lu Mingsu and shouted, but this time, Mother Lu didn't attack his wife again.Lu Mingsu put away his smile, curled his lips, and ate in silence.

"He's also in graduate school?" Lu's mother turned her head and asked, but her tone was not half surprised. "If he didn't make up for you for so long before the high school entrance examination, you would still have been able to go to high school? I don't know if your father In which construction site do you move bricks and push carts?"

"Well, but I'm also a little surprised that he majored in this major." Lu Mingsu was a little puzzled. He didn't believe Ni Yan's words, saying that it was because he could only get into this major. In his heart, Ni Yan had nothing to do. No, "I'm done eating, I'm going back to the meeting!" As soon as Lu Mingsu put down his chopsticks, he got up and was about to leave.

"What kind of meeting do you have at night?" Mother Lu couldn't help becoming anxious when she saw that her son was about to run away after wiping his mouth.

"Conference call, I'm going to shoot a piece of land recently, I'm busy! I have to get up early to go to class tomorrow, and come back to eat with your elders when I have time!" Lu Mingsu said while running, walked to the door and took out his schoolbag, earing There was still the roar of my mother, "Remember to bring Xiao Chan back for dinner next time".Lu Mingsu responded, opened the door and jumped out, and then heard the sound of a car starting...

Ni Yan was very helpless when he heard the constant knocking on the door outside.His grandmother gave birth to six daughters and one son, and the girl who was wailing outside the door for him to open the door was none other than the daughter of his youngest uncle's family——Zhang Muchen.In his generation, all five aunts and his mother gave birth to sons, only the little uncle gave birth to a daughter, and she was the youngest one.However, Ni Yan never doted on her. Ni Yan was ten years older than her, and he was never ambiguous and soft-hearted when he should be beaten or scolded. The whole family knew that he had a violent temper.But this little girl doesn't know what kind of evil she has fallen into. After growing up, she likes to cling to Ni Yan, especially after being admitted to Yunshan University, she has to come to Ni Yan's place for two days every weekend.

Ni Yan still didn't have the strength to move, but Zhang Muchen saw Ni Yan's car parked downstairs, knew that he must be at home, and kept shouting persistently, vowing to shout until Ni Yan heard it.

"Gatlin, open the door!" Ni Yan rubbed Bian Mu's head helplessly, only to see it jump straight to the door and stand up, grabbing the doorknob with its two front paws and started to mess around.

Zhang Muchen had been yelling outside the door for four or five minutes, and finally saw the door open, pushed the door hard and ran in, almost kicking Gatlin by the door away.

"Fourth brother, you opened the door after shouting for so long, are you flying?!" Zhang Muchen roared, and suddenly saw Bian Mu at his feet, and when he looked up again, he saw Ni Yan lying lifelessly on the sofa, motionless. Dazed, he quickly closed the door with his backhand and ran over, "What's wrong? Are you exhausted?"

"If you want to find death, just say a few more words." Ni Yan said slowly with his eyes closed, but the murderous look in his voice did not weaken at all.

"Hey..." Zhang Muchen smiled, sat down at Ni Yan's feet, hugged Gatlin and kept rubbing, "Fourth brother, what's wrong with you, look at your face, it's the same as the first seven souls .”

Ni Yan secretly felt that this child still played less when he was a child... "School starts today, after a whole day of class, I'm tired, have you eaten yet?"

"No, I came over right after class," Zhang Muchen moved his hand off the dog's back, rubbed Ni Yan's calf, and said coquettishly, "Get up and cook for me, I'm hungry!"

Ni Yan still had his eyes closed. If he could move, he would definitely jump up and slap Zhang Muchen on the head. However, at this moment, he could only say softly: "There is water in the pot, and noodles on the side of the pot. Let's cook for two people." , there are eggs in the refrigerator, remember to beat two."

"I came to see you, you treat me as a servant?!" Zhang Muchen pouted, put down Bian Mu, got up and went into the kitchen.

It wasn't until Zhang Muchen returned to the sofa with two bowls of noodles that Ni Yan opened his eyes, sat up slowly, picked up the bowl and took two bites, then frowned and looked at the little cousin beside him: "What did you cook?"

"Noodles, isn't it from your family?!" Zhang Muchen looked at Ni Yan in confusion, lowered his head and took a bite, then suddenly his face changed, and he spat it out violently, "Bah, bah, bah... what are you, Is it expired?"

"Why do you put sugar in the noodles? Yunshan has assimilated you?" Ni Yan lowered his head and continued eating, speaking in a leisurely manner.

"When will I release—" Zhang Muchen was taken aback, then suddenly said in horror, "Isn't that salt?"

Ni Yan ignored him, and finished eating the noodles in the bowl in a few minutes. Looking at Zhang Muchen sitting on the side with his mouth pouted, he said with a gloomy expression: "Don't waste it, you must be prepared to bear the retribution for the evil you have done." Prepare."

"But this..." Zhang Muchen looked at Ni Yan aggrieved.

"Finish!" Ni Yan said in a non-negotiable tone, and then thought about it, "You can take out the noodles, there is beef sauce in the refrigerator." After finishing speaking, he closed his eyes again and leaned on the sofa On his back, he felt the sofa cushion beside him loosen.

"I'm going to tell Fourth Aunt that you abused me!" Zhang Muchen cleaned up all the pots and dishes after eating, and sat back beside Ni Yan, talking coquettishly.

"Grandma, can you go to my elder brother's house a few times? You can't leave me alone, right?!" Ni Yan said helplessly. His eldest cousin's family is also in Yunshan. flat house, but Ni Yan is not close to them, and Zhang Muchen never goes there, "My monthly salary is only more than 200, can I afford it?!"

"Oh, look at you who are so searched," Zhang Muchen smiled shyly, "Isn't it okay to ask your little uncle to pay for your food later?!"

Ni Yan shook his head, muttered "It's all fucking skin!" Then he got up and went back to the bedroom to get a change of clothes and went to the bathroom. The sweat hadn't completely dried up to now, and it was really uncomfortable to be wet.

After taking a shower, Ni Yan found that Zhang Muchen was sitting on the sofa reading a book with red eyes. He walked over slowly, lit a cigarette and put it in his mouth, and began to pack the things for tomorrow's class.

"Fourth brother, you can't smoke at home!" Zhang Muchen raised his head, staring at Ni Yan sadly with those red rabbit-like eyes.

"This is Lao Tzu's house, do you want me to take care of it?!" Ni Yan stopped her, and from the corner of her eye, she caught a glimpse of the book she took off from the bookshelf by the wall, "Little girl's house, don't read such books." Things, do you want to find a partner?!"

"You still say me, you are a man looking at this kind of thing, are you abnormal?" Zhang Muchen suddenly had a strange look in his eyes, and smiled wickedly, "Fourth brother, are you..."

Ni Yan paused in his hands, and said coldly: "If you want to die, just say a few more words, I won't dare to beat you when I grow up, right?!"

"Fourth brother!" Zhang Muchen did not give up the desire to explore, and continued, "I am different from my aunt and the others. I am very open-minded. Just tell me, are you right? Otherwise, why don't you get married until now? , everyone’s big girls are all in junior high school.”

Ni Yan's eyes changed, he turned around and went to the door to pull out a half-thick fishing rod, looked at Zhang Muchen coldly, and walked slowly towards her.With a cigarette in his mouth and a stick in his hand, with a gloomy face, when he glanced over, there was a feeling of being in the world, which instantly covered the strong bookishness on Ni Yan's face.

Zhang Muchen jumped up from the sofa violently. In her mind, the experience of running away and screaming every time the house was full, a violent child plunged into the toilet and closed the door, begging for mercy loudly: "Fourth brother, I was wrong. , you have nothing to do with me, I just care about you... I won't ask, don't ask, you... you put that thing back!"

Ni Yan smiled slightly, put away the ferocious expression just now, put the fishing rod back, checked that everything in the schoolbag was complete, pulled the zipper, and threw it on the table by the door.Then he walked to the toilet, knocked lightly on the door, and said with a smile: "Come out, look at you, where is your proud backbone?!"

"Damn it, that's the shadow of childhood, okay?" Zhang Muchen opened the toilet door a little, glanced guilty, and saw that Ni Yan's hands were empty, so he opened the door, "I'm determined this time." I'm going to sue Fourth Aunt, I'm a 20-year-old girl, why are you still whipping me with that thing!"

"Fuck you, old man, did I smoke you?!" Ni Yan roared, pulled her out, got in by himself, closed the door with his backhand, turned on the exhaust, sat on the toilet and smoked Come on, while smoking, carefully recall what happened throughout the day today, and after a while you have to sort it out and write it down.

Zhang Muchen returned to Ni Yan's bedroom, opened the drawer of the big wardrobe, took out his pajamas and a change of clothes, muttered something softly and went back to the toilet door, waiting for Ni Yan to come out.

Half an hour later, Ni Yan sat in his study, opened a notebook, wrote down the date, and clearly wrote down everyone he met today, everything he did, and the cabinets around him. There are two layers of identical notebooks locked inside, which are all Ni Yan's memories, half of which are happy, which I still remember, and the other half, which have been forcibly erased, and I never want to remember again.Ni Yan's mother asked him to keep a diary since he was a child. Now that he thinks about it, this is a decision with hindsight. In case he has to choose to delete a certain paragraph someday, at least there is still a paper memory. When he needs it , to help him inquire about his past deeds.

After writing it down, Ni Yan leaned back on the chair and stared blankly for a long time. He thought of Lu Mingsu. Even though he had no memory of this person in his mind at all, it still gave him a familiar feeling, probably because of junior high school. The reason for being classmates for three years... However, Ni Yan forgot that Lu Mingsu only transferred to their class in the second semester of the second year of junior high school. On the night of watching the lantern festival during the Lantern Festival in the third year of junior high school, Lu Mingsu separated from his family and sat on the road. Bian was weeping silently and happened to be met by Ni Yan, and Ni Yan sent him home. Since then, Lu's mother has arrested him and asked Ni Yan to make up lessons for him. Ni Yan readily agreed for the reward of 50 yuan each time. Come down... Other than that, Ni Yan didn't have much contact with him.

Today's reunion didn't have any special meaning for Ni Yan. On the contrary, he felt that he couldn't get on the same boat as this kind of local tyrant. After thinking for a while, Ni Yan smiled helplessly, closed the book and locked it in In the cupboard, he went out of the study.

The moment Ni Yan closed the study door, he saw Zhang Muchen nestling on the sofa in the same posture again, holding a book with red eyes, but changed into pajamas, he shook his head helplessly, walked over, and Kicking the bottom of the sofa, Zhang Muchen shook violently and looked up at Ni Yan in a daze.

"Is it so pretty?" Ni Yan turned around and sat beside Zhang Muchen, and said softly.

"Well, why did you buy her book if you didn't read it?" Zhang Muchen asked suspiciously.

"Who said I bought it?" Ni Yan said disdainfully, "It was a gift from that bastard."

When Zhang Muchen heard it, he suddenly grabbed Ni Yan's arm excitedly, with green light in his eyes: "Do you know Bairi fireworks?!"

"What are you doing?" Ni Yan's eyes widened, restraining his urge to kick someone, "You are a little girl, men and women are different, can you be more reserved?"

"She hasn't published a new book for several years." Zhang Muchen rolled his eyes, and let go of his hand in disgust, "This is not my favorite book, I have read it several times. If you know her, get me an autograph !"

Ni Yan cleared his throat, got up and walked to the bedroom, and said coldly: "This kind of low-level person, you are just a fan of brains, and he is so excited." As soon as he finished speaking, he heard "bang" A sound—the sound of the door closing.

Zhang Muchen was startled, and thought to himself—with so much resentment, this elder sister Bai Ri could not be the fourth brother's ex-girlfriend...
