When we got back to Meiyi, it was dinner time, so Xu Shuo tore some papers and went to the sink to treat the wound on his ankle. The bloodstains had dried into pieces, sticking to the skin like red paint, vaguely covered under the school pants, There is a risk of being exposed to the air at any time when walking around, not to mention sitting on a chair, the straight legs of the trousers can be seen at a glance.

Xu Shuo was thinking of some way to cover it up, it's best not to let Song Zhinan see this injury.

Looking around, he touched his trouser pockets and school uniform pockets. There was nothing to cover such a long bloody gash. He was thinking about going back to the classroom and trying to find a way, when shadowy footsteps came from behind him.

It is estimated that I have blocked the pool, and others cannot use it.

Xu Shuo threw the blood-stained tissue into the trash can and moved a few steps aside.

The shadow of the human figure is projected on the white marble with a hint of water, motionless, and there are black footprints coming and going on the bright white.

Xu Shuo wondered, why did he keep standing beside him even after giving way?

Use it if you want, isn't it unblocked?

Xu Shuo focused on his ankle, then moved to the side: "You—"

"how did you make it?"

……

Song Zhinan!

Xu Shuo was almost frightened when he heard the voice, and when he turned around, his voice and face matched each other, forming a complete Song Zhinan.

"Why...you didn't eat?" Xu Shuo blocked his hand subconsciously, but this kind of concealment was obviously useless. Song Zhinan knew Xu Shuo just like he knew himself, and he could guess what you said in ten words in the blink of an eye. Which words are against my will.

"How did you do it?" Song Zhinan asked twice, and removed his hand covering the wound.

Xu Shuo knew that it was impossible to hide this situation, but there was no need to tell Dong Rang's matter. Anyway, it had been resolved, and talking about it would only increase his troubles.

Song Zhinan stared at his wound, and touched the surrounding good skin with his fingertips, neither piercing nor puncturing.

Mei Yi's entire campus facilities are complete and safe, how can there be such a long opening with a wooden plank?With neat ground and green grass, even a fall on the flat ground may not hurt like this.

"Are you sure you want to lie to me?"

Xu Shuo frowned, and finally compromised: "It was nailed." Then he added, "I have a bit of a conflict with Dong Rang."

Song Zhinan's hand touching his ankle stopped suddenly, and he stood up, "Wait for me in the classroom." After finishing speaking, he left quickly without waiting for Xu Shuo's response.

Seeing him walking towards the office, Xu Shuo didn't know what he was going to do, so he just went back to the classroom and waited for a few minutes. Students around him who had finished dinner came back to the classroom one after another, teasing words or talking to each other. Shan Xiao smiled, and there was a student's book fragrance in the fight, Xu Shuo felt that he was out of place for the first time.

It was really out of place, in such an incandescent place on campus, he was the only one standing in black, as if he had nothing else to do but wait for Song Zhinan, no matter what form of waiting, almost three years passed by just waiting like this.

"Pick up your schoolbag and go to the hospital." Song Zhinan immediately told Xu Shuo after returning to the classroom.

"Why did you go to the hospital?" Seeing him stuffing books one by one into his backpack, Xu Shuo felt nervous and asked in a daze, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's you, not me." Song Zhinan pointed to his ankle, "I have to go to the hospital for a tetanus, and I've already asked the teacher for leave. I'll go with you."

After hearing this, Xu Shuo relaxed. He thought something serious had happened. He was so scared that he broke into a cold sweat. He hurriedly pulled Song Zhinan back, "Just rub some iodine on this little injury. You'd better wait for the school."

Song Zhinan didn't waver at all, and put his schoolbag on the desk, "Hurry up."

However, Xu Shuo had no choice but to obey, packed his school bags and the two left the school and went straight to the hospital.

After getting the tetanus, they went home directly, and the two of them skipped the fourth-quarter evening self-study in the evening.

Xu Shuo babbled for quite a while along the way, according to what Lao Liu said, it took Song Zhinan several hours of self-study in the four quarters, and it was a few points for transformation, and tens of thousands of people were pressed during the college entrance examination.

"Why don't we go back to class?" Xu Shuo mumbled until he reached the gate of the community. The cold wind like ice slag from the alley didn't stop him, Song Zhinan just listened silently all the way.

After waiting for the elevator for a while, seeing that it had been parked on a certain floor without moving, the two decided to take the stairs home. Fortunately, the floor was not high, so they thought it was winter exercise.

Two pairs of sneakers made a muffled sound when they stepped on the marble. Xu Shuo walked in front of Song Zhinan like a trailblazer. The light pouring in from the small windows on each floor was like alms, and even a broken porcelain bowl couldn't be filled.

The floor, which no one has walked through all year round, is covered with a layer of dust, which is almost blinding people's eyes. The stairs are one step at a time, and I don't even know how to land.

Xu Shuo walked slower and slower until he stopped.

Because, I heard two voices.

female voice.

One is old and the other has the sharpness of a young woman. The collision of mud and rotten moss seems to be about to quarrel, and the pot and spatula are clanging.

One is grandma...the other, maybe my own mother?

But this is just Xu Shuo's guess, he is not very familiar with the latter, and he may not be able to recognize it just by listening to the voice.

Song Zhinan, who was behind him, also stopped, not following suit, but both of them silently agreed.

"Chinese New Year is coming soon, the restaurant has to be closed, and there is no money coming in for nearly half a month." Grandma's voice came, "You are responsible for being a mother no matter what, the children are in school, you can let go, you don't say anything I won't let you let go, but I have to take the money!"

"I said I have no money! I'm going to get married soon, where can I get the money for them! Isn't the money your son left you not enough? Ask me for it? Is it possible that I will go to the sky to find the gods for you? "

Grandma gets angry when she hears that she is getting married. It is said that the second marriage partner is still the rotten leg that her son hooked up with when he was alive!

"Is there a mother like you! Look at who in the world is a mother like you!"

"Okay, okay!" The woman's hoarse voice made her eardrums tremble, "I'm here today to find the silk scarf that I dropped here last time! If I don't find it, I have to return it! I don't have time to listen to you, an old woman." I'm babbling here! I'm still saying the same thing, if you only spend your son's money on your own grandson, it must be enough! Song Zhinan is fine as long as he doesn't die, so it's impossible to return the gold clothes and trousers..."

The following sentences were all blurred, and the woman's shrill voice was like ink in clear water in Song Zhinan's ears, fading, and fading again, until it disappeared without a trace.

Then there were more outrageous words, but only three people could hear them, grandma, the woman and Xu Shuo.

And the only thing Song Zhinan could hear at the moment was a hum, as if he had put a conch in his ear.

Actually no, it was Xu Shuo who bent his warm hand into a semicircle to block his hearing, as if he thought that this would block the truth, who was lying, maybe everyone.

"With me, Song Zhinan, I will always be here." Xu Shuo was sure that Song Zhinan had heard it clearly, so at this moment, he was at a loss for what to do other than say this sentence.

After hiding it for so long, it seemed like everyone was being wronged, but in the end it was exposed, like a balloon filled with confetti bursting in mid-air, and he had no choice but to stare blankly in shock.

His heart was pounding, and a fist was hammering his chest from the inside out.

Xu Shuo didn't dare to speak anymore, he couldn't bear any words of rejection that Song Zhinan might say.

The memory went back to that day again, the gloomy clouds, the pattering rain, and the rushing water, Song Zhinan only left for a whole morning, and he felt that his heartbeat was also lost along with it, and it was only one morning.

But now, Song Zhinan knew the truth.

Song Zhinan... Will he leave?Leaving a home where there are disgusting people on either the left or the right.

Song Zhinan must be surprised. After so many years, he finally found a reason to be hated. The mother he always thought was not his mother. The so-called relationship with his father and mother was just a lie, and the whole family was not his own.

Maybe I still had resentment towards the family at first, because I was always ignored, as if I was not a part of the family, but now I realized that I was not, but just a picked child, an existence that was disliked, an existence that could not hold its head up and had no right to make demands .

Unfairness has become relatively fair, because adoption already represents a certain degree of luck, and one is not entitled to ask for more.

The sky seemed to be falling, and the world view was reshaped in just a few seconds.

Xu Shuo thought, maybe no one would continue to stay in such a home, let alone Song Zhinan.

"Song Zhinan, you still have me." Xu Shuo kept repeating a few words with the same meaning in his mouth, like a child who is just learning a language, less than ten words, but nervous and cramped so fast that he can't read standard.

too scared.

He was afraid that Song Zhinan would fall into a corner where he couldn't convince himself, and then make a choice that no one could afford.

"Song Zhinan, you still have me." Xu Shuo's dry palms were sweating, and the dampness spread to Song Zhinan's ears, his palms were red and anxious.

There are also people whose ears are red, and the reason is unknown.

"Don't cover it." Song Zhinan raised his arms and took his hands off, "I already knew." After speaking, he didn't wait for the two people at the door to finish the conversation, and appeared directly in the field of vision.

Xu Shuo didn't come back to his senses, and immediately followed, but what he saw was grandma who was more surprised than himself.

All right, hurry up if the world is about to collapse.

That's good too, if the bottom of the pot is smashed today, there will be no need to hide anything in the future.

When the woman saw Song Zhinan, she hugged her chest and snorted, with contempt in her sunken and exotic eye sockets like Xu Shuo's, "Is my silk scarf really not here? Find it again, it's more than 1000 yuan, but I can’t just take advantage of you for nothing, if you find it, remember to send it to me, and I’ll leave first!”

Grandma seemed not to hear, just staring at Song Zhinan in a daze.

Seeing that Song Zhinan called himself as usual, he took out the key to open the door in a calm manner, then put his schoolbag on the sofa even more calmly, and finally went to the water dispenser to pour a glass of water, and drank slowly.

Actions, behavior, everything is the same as usual.

So this is... heard or not heard?

She was not sure, and could only look at her other grandson for help.Xu Shuo pursed her lips and nodded solemnly.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to her, the woman snorted again, thinking about her thousand-dollar silk scarf, she turned around and walked away on stilettos like a magical wind, leaving only a smell of cheap incense in front of the cramped door .

As soon as the outsider left, all three of them entered the room. The grandma stood by the sofa at a loss, closing and putting her half-clasped hands at her side, and finally left a sentence of "I'm going to cook" and then went into the kitchen. The uneasiness even made her ignore why the two children came back so early today.

The kind old woman who had been poor all her life shrank back. She only knew how to say hello to the pots and pans in the morning and evening, but she didn't know how to explain the blood relationship to her beloved grandson.She wanted to say that it was not important, but she was afraid that no one would understand what she said was not important.

She had a clear conscience that the two bowls of water had been flat in the palm of her hand for many years, and no drop was splashed due to tilting, but now they were stuck in front of the blood. She was afraid that Song Zhinan would think too much and feel that there was a gap between him and this family.

"Go and have a look and talk to him." After opening and closing her lips a few times, she finally said to Xu Shuo dejectedly, thinking that it would be better for the two children to talk to her than for an old woman like herself to explain.

Xu Shuo's eyes were fixed on Song Zhinan, as if he had lost his soul.

The world is ruined, with ruined walls and buildings.

Of course he also wanted to sit down and have a serious chat with Song Zhinan at this moment, but there was still the aftermath of the explosion in his head - I knew it a long time ago.

I already know?

After knowing the truth by accident, Song Zhinan didn't turn around and run away, but said that he already knew. What does this mean?

Or, what could it mean?
