When Xiao Yun said this, Liang Jiayu hadn't changed his posture for a long time.

The glass of water he poured him was there cold, no one was drinking it.

The two men faced each other, and it was already dark outside.Xiao Yun stood up, turned on the light in the room, and took out the lunch box she bought at the station from her bag.The lunch box was also cold, so he could only make do with it. He looked at Liang Jiayu and said, "Do you want to eat?"

Liang Jiayu didn't speak for a long time, and after a while he said incoherently: "My grandfather's name is Liang An."

"Yeah." Xiao Yun turned his back to him, and removed the plastic seal of the lunch box.

The boxed lunch was placed on the table, and Xiao Yun sat down opposite Liang Jiayu again. He was very hungry, but he was not sure whether Liang Jiayu was hungry or not.

Xiao Yun said: "If you don't eat on time, your health will fail."

"I know." Liang Jiayu lowered his head, "I know."

He picked up the chopsticks mechanically, trying to pick up a piece of potato, but after trying three or four times, he couldn't pick it up.

After a while, Liang Jiayu put down his chopsticks and covered his face with his hands.

Xiao Yun just ate in silence, unable to say a word of comfort.

"Eat." Xiao Yun said, "Continue talking after eating."

But until Xiao Yun finished speaking, Liang Jiayu couldn't raise his head.After Xiao Yun finished eating, she ran out to throw out the trash, and when she came back, she saw Liang Jiayu trying to eat again.

He poured him another cup of hot water. Liang Jiayu ate very slowly and painfully, and there was more than half of it left in the end.

"Forget it." Xiao Yun couldn't bear it.

"Let's go back, Director Liang." Xiao Yun said regretfully, "I shouldn't have brought you here."

"No." Liang Jiayu shook his head and said firmly, "I won't leave, I'm already eating, I can do it."

"Okay, let's continue from Kang Yan..."

Zhou Jiamu led Kang Yan to meet Zhou Tan, and Kang Yan still held the bouquet of flowers in his hand.

Zhou Jiamu knocked on Zhou Qin's door and shouted outside, "Uncle!"

"Come in." Zhou Tan replied from inside.

After Zhou Jiamu went in, Kang Yan also came in.

Kang Yan was a little at a loss, and said directly: "Excuse me."

When he saw Zhou Tan lying on the bed with an uneasy expression, he thought he was sick, so he asked Zhou Jiamu to give Zhou Tan the bouquet of flowers in his hand.

Zhou Jiamu was stunned for a moment, and handed the flowers to Zhou Tan, who didn't accept them, which made the atmosphere between the two adults and one child a bit awkward.

"Who are you?" Zhou Qin frowned.

"I...my name is Kang Yan."

"And then?" Zhou Qin said, "Who are you looking for?"

"Zhou Xin."

"That's my sister, she's dead." Zhou Qin said indifferently.

Kang Yan opened his eyes slightly, his first reaction was to look at Zhou Jiamu.He didn't know that he could speak so bluntly in front of a child, but Zhou Jiamu seemed to be used to it, and didn't react much.

"So... who are you?" Zhou Tan asked again.

Kang Yan didn't seem to know how to explain it, and said in a tangled manner: "I..."

Zhou Jiamu took the flowers, walked out obediently, and closed the door for Zhou Qin and Kang Yan.

At dinner, grandma made an extra dish, Zhou Qin still didn't go out, Zhou Jiamu delivered the meal to uncle, and on the way back, he heard Kang Yan chatting with grandma.The tone of the two sounded very gentle, and grandma was even amused by Kang Yan.

"Xin Xin...that's the only son." Grandma saw Zhou Jiamu and waved to him.

Kang Yan's smile was a bit bitter, he looked at Zhou Jiamu, and said in a low voice, "I don't even know..."

"No matter what, thank you, I still remember Xin Xin."

The next day, Zhou Jiamu took Kang Yan to see Zhou Xin.

"My mother is here." Zhou Jiamu said.

They took some paper money with them and burned it in front of Zhou Xin's tomb.Burning and burning, Kang Yan's tears came down.

But he was very restrained and didn't make a sound.

Zhou Jiamu looked at him strangely, not understanding why Kang Yan was crying.

He later found out that his mother, Zhou Shen, had been studying in another city before giving birth to him. She was admitted to university at that time, and she was the flower of their department.In order to earn living expenses, Zhou Xin gave Kang Yan extra lessons.

Kang Yan fell in love with Zhou Xin many years ago, and his love at that time was a little worshipful.But before he was admitted to Zhou Shen's university, Zhou Shen had already returned home, and he didn't get his graduation certificate at all.

After that, Kang Yan went all the way, wanting to see Zhou Xin again, but only saw her son, her younger brother.

Kang Yan stayed at Zhou Jiamu's house for a few days.

Zhou Jiamu saw that he was always looking at his mother's posthumous photos, looking at them all day long.

Kang Yan said goodbye to Zhou Jiamu in a few days, and took him to McDonald's before leaving.

Zhou Jiamu had never eaten McDonald's before. It was the first time he ate this kind of food and found it novel and delicious.Kang Yan sat opposite him, he had no appetite, so he just watched him eat.

Kang Yan asked: "Do you know your father's name?"

Zhou Jiamu shook his head while eating the chicken wings.

Kang Yan didn't ask much, just smiled at him, and said gently: "Eat it, I'll buy it for you if it's not enough."

Zhou Jiamu finished eating, and his stomach was full. Kang Yan even took him to a movie.It was also Zhou Jiamu's first time watching a movie. When the movie theater was dark, he was still a little scared.

He can't remember what he saw at that time, but he can still remember the feeling.Nervous and obsessed, it was a world he had never seen before.

After watching the movie, Kang Yan bought something for Zhou Jiamu, not only for children, but also some health products for the elderly. Zhou Jiamu even picked out a book for his uncle.

At the end of the day, Kang Yan sent Zhou Jiamu to the door, but he didn't go in.

"Uncle." Zhou Jiamu was a little bit reluctant, "Are you leaving?"

Kang Yan patted his head. Although Zhou Jiamu was ten years old, he was still short compared to his peers.

"That's right." Kang Yan said, "Uncle is leaving, and will come to see you when he is free."

"En." Zhou Jiamu said.

He knew that the phrase "I'll see you when I'm free" was just a polite way to let it off on TV. Another meaning of this sentence is that I'm leaving and never see you again.But Zhou Jiamu had no reason to keep Kang Yan, he was just someone his mother knew before.

When he got home, Zhou Jiamu put his things on the table, turned around a few times and didn't see his grandma, so he went to find his uncle.

"Uncle!" Zhou Jiamu handed Zhou Qin the book he bought at the bookstore in the afternoon as if offering a treasure.

Zhou Tan wasn't reading a book, he seemed to be tired, leaning on the pillow in a daze.

"It's for you." Zhou Jiamu sat by his bed.

Zhou Qin took a look and asked, "Where did you come from?"

"Uncle Kang gave it to you." Zhou Jiamu replied.

Zhou Qin thought for a while and said, "I don't want it, you can take it away."

Zhou Jiamu's eyes widened, and he felt that Zhou Qin was... a little too much, why not?

Zhou Qin looked at him, smiled, and said in a cold tone: "I always feel that Kang Yan is not a good person, so don't be too clingy to him."

"Oh." Zhou Jiamu was a little unhappy.

"What? Has he left yet?" Zhou Tan asked.

"Let's go." Zhou Jiamu said, "He said he will come to see us when he is free."

"It's fake." Zhou Tan said, "I'm not here to see you, but to see your mother."

"Yeah." Zhou Jiamu moved his shoulders, not wanting to answer his uncle's words.

His uncle always spoke like this, and sometimes it was too real, which made him feel unhappy.

"I'll cook." Zhou Jiamu jumped off the bed and waved to Zhou Tan.

When grandma came back, she was very happy to see the things on the table.

Zhou Jiamu cooked, and opened the presents with his grandmother. Grandma couldn't understand the English words on the health care products, and neither could Zhou Jiamu.

"It's so good, this child is so good." Grandma murmured.

Zhou Jiamu also thought that Uncle Kang was very good. He had no father since he was a child. Although he had an uncle, he had become more and more eccentric over the years. Zhou Jiamu didn't dare to get close to him, and his uncle wouldn't read to him anymore.But Kang Yan's appearance just filled a vacancy in his heart. Although Kang Yan still looked a little young, five or six years younger than his mother, Zhou Jiamu still had an illusion.

His chubby father next door is a rustic farmer, very tanned and smells like sweat.Zhou Jiamu used to envy Xiaopang very much, and dreamed of having such a father, but after Kang Yan appeared, he no longer envied Xiaopang.

However, he was not that greedy.

Although Kang Yan is good, he will not appear again.

Thinking about it this way, it's autumn in the blink of an eye.

On the day of the Mid-Autumn Festival, grandma gave Zhou Jiamu some pocket money and asked him to buy some mooncakes.When he ran home, he heard grandma's laughter coming from the yard, and when he looked carefully, he was stunned.

"Jiamu." Kang Yan carried two bags of fruit and smiled at him.

"Ah." Zhou Jiamu said stupidly.

"Come and eat persimmons." Kang Yan said.
