like love

Ye Xingzhi's home is on a very old street, walking all the way, many uncles and aunts would say hello to Ye Xingzhi.Ye Xingzhi held Zhou Weixia's hand and told him to carefully jump over the puddle of sewage flowing from the slaughter shop on the ground.

After walking forward for a while, they stopped in front of a small two-story building squeezed between two residential buildings.

There is already a layer of rust on the rolling shutter door, and the small side door next to it needs to be cleaned better, and there is leftover graphite powder on the keyhole.Ye Xingzhi found out the key and opened the door, and two steps in was the stairs.

Zhou Weixia curiously followed upstairs, all the furniture was neatly arranged, but at first glance, there was no breath of life, the sofa was flat, without a trace of wrinkle, and there was a blanket that was used in winter.Ye Xingzhi asked him to sit down, went to the kitchen and poured two glasses of water.

"You said that Aunt Hui went out." Zhou Weixia held the cup and said, "What did she do?"

Ye Xingzhi swallowed half a glass of water, looked at the people around him, took a deep breath, and thought for a long time before saying, "She...hasn't been released from prison yet."

The boy opposite him opened his eyes wide in astonishment, and stared at him blankly, "You mean...she is in prison?"

Ye Xingzhi looked straight ahead, and the pots of drought-tolerant green plants on the balcony were growing well and lush.He put his hands together unconsciously, and continued, "Yes. She has been sentenced to five years and will be released next month."

"When the incident happened, I was just in the freshman year of high school." Ye Xingzhi's voice was very calm, "A group of policemen suddenly came to my house just before Chinese New Year, and they took her away to assist in the investigation."

"When I see her again, it will be in the meeting room of the prison."

"Grandpa was not in good health. After that incident, his condition got worse. He didn't let me follow him to the police station. Every time I met Aunt Hui, she didn't mention to me why she was imprisoned in the first place. .”

Ye Xingzhi showed a wry smile, "It was Achuan who heard the comments from the neighbors, so I knew it was a crime of fraud." As he said, a small piece of paleness was squeezed out of the back of his right hand by his left hand, "But... I have never I believe Aunt Hui is the kind of deceitful scoundrel."

Zhou Weixia felt a little helpless and touched his hand, comforting him clumsily.Ye Xingzhi put a hand on the back of his hand and smiled at him, "Later, I also figured it out. Aunt Hui is my mother, and it won't change whatever she does wrong. Since she doesn't want to say it, then I will work part-time to earn money and wait for her to come out so that she and grandpa can rest at home."

His tone was very calm, without complaining or complaining, "Actually, this is what I should do."

Zhou Weixia looked at his side face silently, "That's why you said...you want to come back?" He seemed to let go of a stone that had been in his heart for a long time, "I understand."

"If it were my aunt, I would do the same." He thought for a while, then tilted his head and made an analogy, "My aunt treats me just like Aunt Hui treats you."

Ye Xingzhi's arms around him froze unnaturally, and all the confidence that had been prepared with great difficulty disappeared.He turned his eyes away, loosened his hands, and swallowed those words quietly.

Zhou Weixia's affection for Shen's mother and daughter is very deep, Ye Xingzhi knows it without asking.Tell him the ins and outs clearly, and don't hesitate to force him to make a break between the two sides.

But if you don't say it, it's like a bomb placed in a transparent glass layer, and you don't know when it will explode.The only thing that is certain is that the explosion will inevitably set off glass shards flying around, piercing their bodies with many fine wounds.

Zheng Qingchuan's mother once said lovingly that Ye Xingzhi's fate was not good.I had no parents since I was a child, and my aunt was in prison before I grew up. Life was hard.

But Ye Xingzhi now thinks that the sum of all the difficulties in his life in the first 21 years cannot compare with this kind of suffering.

Those things in the past are held in invisible hands, he is a puppet manipulated by domination, his fate is teased and beaten is his powerlessness.

But now Zhou Weixia's heart is in his hands, and it is within his ability to put it properly.

Everyone has secrets in their hearts, whether it is light or heavy, how much self is exposed, sometimes it is not something that people say by themselves.

After Zhou Weixia finished listening to what Ye Xingzhi said, there were many surging words in his throat, but those words were like the froth of the sparkling water he just drank. Solidly fill the remaining gap between him and Ye Xingzhi.But when it really slipped to the mouth, it only turned into a wisp of light air, leaving only a slightly numb astringency in the mouth.

His cell phone suddenly rang sharply, which startled people, and the two of them shrank subconsciously, and separated some distance.

Zhou Weixia wanted to hang up directly, but saw that the caller ID was Shen Yunman, so he had to step aside to answer it.

"Is the game over yet?" Shen Yunman's tone was not very good, which is rare.

Zhou Weixia brought out the words he had thought up in advance, "It's over, I'm traveling with a few classmates."

He vaguely heard Shen Yunman's announcement from the airport urging boarding, and wondered why she made this call, "Sister, what's the matter?"

Shen Yunman's voice was deep and serious, "After returning to school, go home first, I have something to tell you." She added, "I've been on a business trip this week, and I'll be back in three days."

Zhou Weixia was at a loss, but still agreed, "It should be about the same time for me."

Shen Yunman was probably busy boarding the plane and didn't talk further.Holding the phone, Zhou Weixia seriously thought about it, thinking that it might be something like the unpleasant dinner with his uncle last time, so he didn't take it to heart, and went back to find Ye Xingzhi excitedly.

Ye Xingzhi is simply cleaning the room, the house is unoccupied, there is only a little dust, and it will be cleaned up soon.He glanced at the wall clock hanging on the wall, and felt that it was still early, so he took people to a small scenic spot nearby for a walk.

City A is not a tourist city, and there are very few serious attractions. Ye Xingzhi took people away in less than a day, and spent the rest of the time in the stadiums, hillsides, and schools where he had been hanging out since he was a child.Zhou Weixia's understanding of travel has always been to sleep in another place, but this time he didn't show any signs of impatience.

Presumably what he loves to see is not the scenery, but Ye Xingzhi and his past.

"How about going back to watch a movie later?" After walking for a day, both of them were a little tired.Ye Xingzhi bought a cup of iced coffee and soda at the gate of the high school, inserted the straw and handed it to the person behind him.

"Okay." Zhou Weixia said while holding the cold drink in his arms.

The movie was chosen by Zhou Weixia, he called it up on the computer, and repeatedly asked Ye Xingzhi to watch it with him, then rushed into the bathroom to take a shower.

He liked that movie very much. After putting on his clothes, he hurriedly climbed onto the bed and rolled into a ball with Ye Xingzhi, hugging a pillow and watching it seriously.

It was a love story that happened in summer, and at the end of the broadcast, Zhou Weixia shed tears silently along with the people in the movie.Ye Xingzhi sat behind him, hugged him and wiped him, and asked knowingly, "Crying?"

Zhou Weixia didn't speak, just sniffed and moved, as if trying to break free from his embrace.

Ye Xingzhi smiled and pressed down the man's flailing hands and feet, and coaxed, "Are you angry? How about I go and find you a statue's hand, and shake it to make up?"

It's the plot of the movie just now.Zhou Weixia couldn't help laughing again, put away the computer, rolled up the quilt and wrapped himself up and rolled to the other side, and said softly, "Go."

Ye Xingzhi leaned over and pulled him into his arms, as if he was really discussing with him, "There are everywhere in the studio, so how can you be sincere if you take one."

Zhou Weixia grinned against his chest, "You said it yourself, I want to see it some other day."

That smile brought out a numb itching in Ye Xingzhi's heart. He lowered his head, kissed the reddened pinnae of the boy, and said in a low voice, "Look. I want a hundred pictures for you."
