you are with the light

Copying homework sounds easy, but it is actually tiring.Because this activity requires stamina, endurance, arm strength, wrist strength, and eyesight. In addition to these rigid conditions, it is also necessary to see all directions, listen to all directions, and strive to use both eyes and hands. Only in this way can copying be fast, accurate, and ruthless. , Quality problems cannot be ignored. It is necessary to ensure that the writing is neat and the roll surface is dirty. Only one handwriting color is a rookie in the copying operation, and those who can skillfully use multiple colors are the fighters in the copying operation.

Chen Ke is not scum, he belongs to the middle level, he gets tired after copying homework for a while, and instructs Lu Weijian to go out to buy old popsicles, Lu Weijian comes up after a while and says to him mysteriously: "Guess who I saw Is it? You will never guess."

"Who is it?" Chen Ke didn't really want to know, but he still asked in line with Lu Weijian's words, and took the old popsicle in his hand by the way.

Before tearing off the packaging bag, Lu Weijian heard Lu Weijian say: "That Peking University is picking mung beans downstairs. I told him to go home but he didn't come back. He insisted on staying in the sun. He is not stupid."

Chen Ke tore open the package with a "tear" sound, and took a bite.The cold and sweet taste spread in the mouth, and the dryness and heat on the body seemed to slowly sink.

He walked to the bedside while eating popsicles, and looked down casually.

The sun was so dazzling that when Chen Ke looked down, his eyes turned white. The child's head was yellow and white with black inside. It was conspicuously black and pitifully black.

Chen Ke took a look and then backed away slowly.

After copying homework for a while, this time his level plummeted, and he ran wildly towards the slag level.After copying for a while, he put down his pen, and ran to the window to look again.

The summer in this small town is extremely hot. Chen Ke broke into a sweat just sitting and copying his homework. The child standing under the sun for so long probably sweated enough to take a bath.

Gu Jinbei was still basking in the sun, his skin was white, it looked as if he had melted into the light, leaving only a black head, moving slowly in the white world.

Chen Ke didn't know what kind of mood he was in, but he still asked Lu Weijian to go downstairs together.How could Lu Weijian not understand what he meant, and immediately laughed: "Chen Ke, your heart is soft."

Chen Ke didn't take it seriously, he walked downstairs and called out in a moderate voice at the stairs: "Gu Jinbei."

Gu Jinbei raised his head to look at him when he heard the voice, Chen Ke squinted his eyes to look at him, hesitated for a moment or walked into the light.

The summer sun is really poisonous, and Chen Ke's skin started to hurt as soon as he walked in, as if he was thrown into a meat pot and fried repeatedly until both sides were golden and black.

When he approached Gu Jinbei, he realized that the child's face was covered with sweat, which slid down his forehead, passed by his tanned cheeks, and dripped into his red neck.

Seeing him like this, Chen Ke thought that Lu Weijian would really say that when it came to his heart, he was soft-hearted.

"Don't pick it up, go back." Chen Ke said.

Gu Jinbei was very tired looking up at him, and the sun was so bright and dazzling that his eyes hurt after looking at him for a long time, so he put his gaze on the ground again, and said, "No, I have to pick up the mung beans."

Chen Ke didn't quite understand his behavior: "What are you picking up? Just throw these little things away, let him go. Don't wander around in the sun, or you'll get heatstroke."

Gu Jinbei still shook his head stubbornly: "No, I have to finish it."

Chen Ke was not good at persuading people. After standing under the sun for a while, he felt chest tightness and shortness of breath. Seeing that he was stubborn, he ignored him and let him go. He picked up beans if he liked to pick them up. When he turned around and got sunburned and heatstroke, he lost his memory. .

Chen Ke went back to the room and continued copying homework, probably because he had no other distractions, so he finished copying in a short time.After copying, he looked under the window, and saw that the child was still under there, and it was a miracle that he could still move after staying there for a day.

Lu Weijian yelled that he was hungry and asked him to cook. Chen Ke responded and copied two dishes for him. After eating two bites, Lu Weijian gave him a thumbs up: "It's really good, you should go to be a chef tomorrow."

Chen Ke smiled, he likes to cook, but he only knows how to cook, so he can't be called a chef.He didn't have any clear ideas either, just muddled through life, as long as it went on.

After dinner, Chen Ke sent him to the door, and happened to see Xia Yin dragging Gu Jinbei upstairs by the collar.Gu Jinbei's face was very calm, and there was no fear in his eyes.It just looks empty, like a simulated doll.

Seeing that they did not speak, Xia Yin opened the door and brought Gu Jinbei in, and closed the door again with a bang.Chen Ke and Lu Weijian were stunned. Chen Ke walked over subconsciously, with his ear pressed against the door, and could vaguely hear the sound of ping-pong-pong inside, as well as the woman's sharp insults.

Chen Ke vaguely guessed something, like suddenly clearing the clouds and mist to see the sunny sky, or falling into an endless abyss.He thought of the empty eyes he saw just now. It was very dark inside, with no light at all.

Chen Ke always felt strangely uncomfortable in his heart. Lu Weijian had a big heart and could joke with him. He asked him to play in a few days. Chen Ke said, "I'm too lazy to move."

Lu Weijian could only sigh, and asked him if he wanted to report together when school started. Chen Ke nodded this time and said goodbye to him.

Chen Ke didn't go back to the room until after Lu Weijian left. He always felt a little strange, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. It wasn't until he turned on the TV and heard human voices that he suddenly realized as if he had suddenly realized it.

It was less crying.Why didn't you hear the crying when there was such a big commotion?

When Chen Wanran came back in the evening, she put on a new dress and made her happy. She turned around several times and asked Chen Ke if it looked good. When Chen Ke said "it looks good", she laughed and was reluctant to take it off before going to sleep.

"This is a new dress I made." Chen Wanran smiled as she spoke, "Look at the color, how beautiful it is."

Chen Ke nodded in agreement. At night, when he got up to go to the bathroom, he heard Chen Wanran crying in the room, crying very quietly, but when he heard it, it felt like a cat's paw was scratching his heart, which made him feel distressed.

He went back to the room and took the book. He could read all the characters in the book, but he couldn't read them together.He forced himself to watch for a while, watched and watched, and fell asleep at some point.

The stepfather took Gu Jinbei to school the next day, went through the formalities for him, and met the new teacher.The new teacher was a young girl named Tu. Seeing that Gu Jinbei liked her so much, she pulled him and said a few words to him.

Gu Jinbei also likes her. Teacher Tu is young, good-looking and gentle, and the strength to rub his head is just right.When he left the campus, he still looked back reluctantly.

Xia Yin didn't pay attention to these things. She went out early this morning, and Gu Jinbei didn't run into her when he went back. This is a good thing, especially after his stepfather bought him a mung bean ice cream, he felt happy today It's a little unreal.

His stepfather went out after sending him home, leaving him alone at home.Gu Jinbei is not afraid of being alone, not only that, he prefers to be alone.He turned on the TV, found a movie, and watched it with relish.He doesn't like watching cartoons very much, he always thinks they are too naive and romantic, and he has already passed the age of naivety.

The movie was good to watch, and Gu Jinbei watched it seriously, but he still had to devote himself to listening to the voices outside.He is very smart, he can always distinguish Xia Yin from the sound of footsteps going up the stairs. This is the result of long-term training, but he doesn't feel complacent about it.

Gu Jinbei watched TV all afternoon, watching the clock on the wall slowly turn to four o'clock.He turned off the TV, ran to the kitchen to wash the vegetables, cut them up, and stacked them neatly on the chopping board.Ashamed to say, he doesn't know how to cook, not even a little bit, even if Xia Yin beats him.The dishes passed through his hands are always so unpalatable that people want to vomit. He is like his mother. Both mother and son are people who can turn cooking into a murder scene.

After doing all this, he sat on the sofa and waited for his stepfather or mother to come home, but this time he miscalculated, and at 23:[-] he received a call from his stepfather, saying that he would not be back tonight, Xia Yin was also gentle She said to him calmly: "Xiaobei, you have to be obedient and go buy dinner by yourself, okay?"

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jinbei took the change on the table and ran out to buy a bowl of noodles downstairs. When he came up, he met Chen Ke who was going downstairs to take out the trash.

Chen Ke glanced at him, Gu Jinbei smiled nervously at him, the two of them walked for a while, Chen Ke suddenly turned around and called him: "Gu Jinbei."

Gu Jinbei turned his head abruptly.

Chen Ke said: "Next time you can go to my house for dinner."

Gu Jinbei froze for a moment, then smiled: "Thank you."

When Chen Ke went upstairs, he ran into Xia Yin. This woman had short hair that reached her ears and three-dimensional facial features, which seemed sharp.She wore a white suit and a pair of white high heels, looking like an elite.If he hadn't heard it with his own ears, Chen Ke would never have imagined that this man could beat a child so hard.

Chen Wanran was very kind to him, never short of his food and clothing, and never took it out on him, although the two sometimes quarreled, but most of the time they were amiable.

Chen Ke opened the door and heard his familiar groaning from Chen Wanran's room, his face suddenly turned pale.He retreated back to the door in silence, then closed the door and squatted in front of the house.

Just squatting was too boring, so he stood up, walked downstairs with his slippers on, walked blindly on the street, and walked downstairs to Lu Weijian's house, but he hesitated for a while and still didn't go up. Most parents in the town don't like it very much. Let her child play with him, and Lu Weijian's mother doesn't like to let Lu Weijian look for him. If they meet him at the door, it will be a wild ride.

Chen Ke walked home again.

Gu Jinbei squatted at the door, like a puppy, with his head lowered and poking on the ground with his hands. When he heard the sound of footsteps, he raised his head and glanced at him, then kept looking at him, with his mouth slightly open, Somewhat surprised.

Chen Ke walked over.

"I'll take you out to play, shall I?"

Gu Jinbei subconsciously looked at the closed door behind him. It seemed that there was a terrible beast hidden in the door. Just when Chen Ke thought he would refuse, Gu Jinbei nodded and said, "Okay."

Chen Ke took him to the river. There is a river passing by this small town. It is not big or small, but it can be seen in the geography book.Evening is the peak time for walking, and there is no fence to protect the river. Chen Ke pulled Gu Jinbei and let him walk inside. Gu Jinbei was a little curious about the people taking a bath by the river. take a shower?"

"Yes." Chen Ke said, "But there is a bathing place in front, the water is shallower, if you want to go, I will take you there."

Gu Jinbei said, "Okay."

That place was really far away, Chen Ke dragged him until it was dark, and Chen Ke didn't dare to let him go down because of the dark lights, so they walked back again.There were no lights on the road, and we drove back only by the moonlight. When we met a popsicle seller, Chen Ke bought two and went to the town when he finished eating.

When he was about to get home, Gu Jinbei suddenly felt a little scared. He ran out without his mother's permission. After running for so long, if she opened the door and didn't see him, she would definitely beat him.

Although he was almost numb, he was still afraid.

Chen Ke held his hand, and naturally felt the moisture in his palm: "Afraid?"

Gu Jinbei shook his head, nodded again, he held Chen Ke's hand tightly, and suddenly wanted to say, "You go home first, I'm leaving home!"

But he dared not say it.

"Don't be afraid." Chen Ke said, "I'm here."

Although talking is better than nothing, Gu Jinbei still felt at ease. He walked upstairs with Chen Ke, the door of the house was open, he let go of Chen Ke's hand and walked a few steps, then looked back at him hesitantly.

Chen Ke looked at him from behind him, and smiled at him with two dimples.

The lights in the corridor flickered, maybe they would go out in the next moment, but Gu Jinbei felt a light in his heart, so he didn't feel scared at all.

When he walked into the house, his mother was sitting on the sofa crying, when he heard the voice and looked towards him, Gu Jinbei suddenly seemed to be lifted in the air, his feet were empty, he couldn't step on them firmly, so he was a little scared.

Xia Yin stood up abruptly, Gu Jinbei took a step back subconsciously, he wanted to run, but he held back.

The imaginary bench slap did not greet him, but a warm embrace wrapped him up. Xia Yin hugged him tightly, almost strangling him: "Xiao Bei, my child, is back...don't leave mom..."

Gu Jinbei blinked, he didn't slow down, he seemed to be dreaming, he had a good dream, in the dream his mother didn't beat him, but still hugged him, his heart softened.

So he hugged his mother back, put his head on her shoulder tentatively, and rubbed it lightly: "I'm sorry mom, I won't do it next time."

Chen Ke stood at the door for a while, and leaned over to listen again. He heard a woman crying, and there was no ping-pong sound, but he was still worried, so he took off his shoes and walked in quietly.

Then he saw Gu Jinbei being held in his mother's arms, and his mother looked up at him, making him startled.

Xia Yin's face was full of tears, but she was smiling, so piercing that Chen Ke's heart trembled from her laughter.

He took a few steps back, retreated to the door, put on his slippers and ran home, he still had lingering fear when he closed the door.

Chen Wanran was sitting in the living room. She was watching TV, but she forgot to turn on the sound, so the living room was very quiet.

Chen Ke called her: "Mom."

Chen Wanran ignored him.

"Mom." Chen Ke raised his voice and shouted.

"Hey!" Chen Wanran seemed to be startled by him, and yelled, "What are you doing! Do you want to scare me to death!"

"What are you in a daze for?" Chen Ke picked up the remote control on the ground and adjusted the volume up, "What's wrong?"

Chen Wanran smiled, and said somewhat unnaturally: "My newly made clothes have broken threads." She picked up the clothes from her lap, turned them to the side where the threads were broken, and showed him: "Look, how do you sew this?" ah."

"Give it to me." Chen Ke reached out to her, "I'll sew it for you."

Chen Wanran handed it to him: "You can sew carefully, don't let me sew it."

The clothes seemed to have been torn apart abruptly. Chen Ke held it in his hand and looked at it for a while, then pointed to the place where the stitches had collapsed and said to Chen Wanran, "I'll sew this place inward. You're skinny, and you won't wear it well." tight."

"It's done." Chen Wanran waved her hand, her eyes fell on the TV, but her eyes were slack, "Son, do you think Mom is very cheap?"

Chen Ke's heart tightened, he opened his mouth and wanted to say "I don't have it" without thinking, but he still hesitated: "That's not the case."

Chen Wanran smiled. She lowered her head and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand: "Son, your grandma called me today."
