"Your father has come to school", this is the first time Lu Youxi heard the words "Your father has come to school" for more than ten years in school.

Not to mention that Lu Youxi was taken aback when he heard it, even Gu Chengan who was sitting next to him was taken aback, and countless questions flashed through his mind instantly.

Zhang Wenxu, who got up beforehand, looked at the person who was sitting there motionless, feeling very puzzled, and asked, "Eh? Youxi, aren't you going to the office?"

Lu Youxi looked at Gu Cheng'an in silence, then bit her lower lip, sighed deeply, and stood up slowly.

Seeing him walking slowly, Zhang Wenxu was surprised, "What's wrong with you?"

"It's nothing, let's go." Lu Youxi shook her head, and walked outside the classroom after speaking.

Gu Cheng'an, who frowned slightly, sat on his seat and looked at the leaving figure for two seconds, and finally stood up with some uneasiness, and walked to the office after a distance.

The Wenzong teaching office where the geography teacher was located was not on the same floor as the head teacher's office. When they reached the stairs, Zhang Wenxu patted his shoulders to say hello and ran down, leaving Lu Youxi to walk in alone.

The offices of the No. [-] Middle School usually have a special parent reception room, which is the one to the right after the door of the office.

When Lu Youxi arrived, the office was empty and no one was there.Go forward and walk through the middle wall, and you can hear the voices inside through the door.

The teacher in charge turned his face in and said very politely: "Hey, your child is really reassuring and his grades are not bad. Last mid-term exam, he jumped up a few places. I heard that he is now Prepare for that..."

Hearing this, Lu Youxi, who guessed the following text, opened the door without hesitation, and the door hit the door panel on the other side, making a "bang" sound, which interrupted the class teacher's words.

The class teacher turned his head in panic the moment he heard the sound, Lu Youxi saw someone looking at him, then nodded again pretending to apologize and said, "I'm sorry, teacher, I ran too fast and forgot to knock on the door."

The homeroom teacher, who was startled by the sound of the door being pushed, felt relieved, patted his chest, and nodded towards the person who came.

And this movement of turning his head revealed a clean figure on the opposite side of the table.

The man is slightly stooped, his hair is not too messy, but it is already gray, and there are deep bags under his eyes. The whole person looks like a strong effort, and his appearance is much older than that of more than a year ago .Wearing a brown thick jacket and a pair of dark cotton trousers, although they look neat, they also show various signs of wear and tear.

In a certain sense, it also conformed to the lie that Lu Youxi said about "working outside" in front of the head teacher.

His stepfather, Li Dun, since Lu Youxi pushed the door open, he only dared to look up for a moment, and then he lowered his head, and his eyes were afraid to look directly at the person in front of him.

Fortunately, the class teacher turned around and didn't see this scene at all.

The class teacher's voice was cordial and joyful: "Student Lu, I heard that your father came here in a long-distance bus today. If you have something to discuss, I'll go out first."

After finishing speaking, the homeroom teacher casually smiled at Li Dun, got up and walked out past Lu Youxi who was standing there, and patted him on the shoulder before leaving, looking completely relieved.

Lu Youxi heard that the head teacher outside the door suddenly said to someone, "Eh? Why are you standing here?", but he didn't have the heart to look, so he just closed the door.

Immediately, in the reception room, there was only a low table, two sofas, and Li Dun who bowed his head silently, and Lu Youxi who was frowning and looking sideways at the wall.

To be honest, Lu Youxi can no longer talk about the word surprise.The moment I saw him, apart from my brain blanked by memories and thoughts, I could only feel the throbbing anger and complaints filling my chest.

He didn't even want to take a look at the person in front of him. If he only thought about it through the little bits and pieces of his life over the past year, he might only have disgust and resentment for the person in front of him, but he really saw his appearance. He had to think of what Lu Minling had said over and over again, the fact that this man had raised their mother and child for more than ten years.

Silence permeated the entire room like this, the man sitting there didn't dare to speak, and the one standing here didn't know how to speak.

Whether to ask him where he has been for more than a year, or why he is so addicted to gambling, or whether he finally remembered his mother and his existence.

Lu Youxi closed her eyes and took a deep breath.

He wanted to radiate all the "shouldn't have" that he suffered this year towards the man in front of him, but when he turned his eyes and saw his face, the imposing manner he drew was the gentle memory of more than ten years in his subconscious The strength was reduced, and even the words became less sharp.

He asked, "When did you come back?"

The other party didn't answer, but his body shrank back obviously after he spoke.

Lu Youxi couldn't help seeing it so completely, and couldn't help feeling cold.It is obvious that the person sitting opposite is an adult, but when facing a child like him, he has such a reaction.

What kind of experience made him so sensitive to human voices, Lu Youxi couldn't think of it.

Li Dun paused for at least 3 minutes after saying this, until he seemed to have adapted to the surrounding environment, and then slowly opened his mouth and shouted: "Xiao Xi."

Then there was another pause, he raised his gray eyes, and said with a bit of pitifulness: "Then, that, you, how is your mother?"

Lu Youxi probably doesn't need to rehearse the answer to this question in his mind. His instinctive reaction is to answer him, "Do you still remember my mother?" The thorn stuck in her throat couldn't be pulled out smoothly, until after a while, she just replied in a lower voice: "She's okay, she's in the country."

Then, without waiting for the other party to ask the next question, he asked directly: "What are you doing back?"

He knew that this was not going to work, and he didn't want to continue looking at the scene in front of him anymore.

But the person opposite was trembling, opened his mouth a few times, but didn't say a word.

Occasionally, one or two students shouted from outside the window, and the clock on the wall jumped a few more frames.

Li Dun never spoke.

Lu Youxi looked over his figure and looked out the window, and suddenly felt that it was fine, let alone it.

But just as he turned around to go out, he heard the slightly trembling voice of the man behind him, and opened his mouth in panic.

There was a three-point pleading in his voice, and he shouted: "Xiaoxi, Xiaoxi, wait, I..."

Li Dun paused for a few seconds, and then mustered up the courage to speak in a very weak voice: "They found me."

"Found you?" These words forced Lu Youxi to turn around and ask him, with a look of disbelief.

What does found him mean?What about the money?Are you still on?What are you doing here looking for him?

Li Dun didn't dare to look directly at the person in front of him, clasped his hands together, glanced back and forth several times, and then said, "They found me and asked me to pay back the money."

"I," he suddenly raised his head, and continued with a little emotion: "I didn't want to pay back the money, I, I gave them all the money I got from working later, it's just, just..."

"Just what?" Lu Youxi asked him.

I saw Li Dun's shoulders hanging straight down again, "It's just that I don't have enough money, it's not enough..."

He paused before saying, "It's still 50 short."

"50?" Lu Youxi couldn't help raising his voice a little.

This number gave him a headache. As a student, he didn't know what to do with the [-], let alone adding two in front of it.

Lu Youxi's suppressed emotions suddenly collapsed here, he waited for the person in front of him, and said in disbelief: "Can you tell me how much money you owe before and after? Did you gamble again?"

Li Dun opened his mouth, struggled for a while, and finally said it: "I, I really thought it was okay, because it was the fastest way. Xiaoxi, for this reason you..."

At this point, Lu Youxi didn't want to listen anymore. He didn't understand why he was here.He turned around and walked out without hesitation, the door behind him hit the wall frame with a loud noise.

There was only a voice echoing back and forth in his mind, such a person is useless, no matter what you say, it is useless.

He had already heard this kind of words more than a year ago when he was first discovered gambling.

Such a person, such a person...

Lu Youxi felt that his emotions had reached a critical point, he couldn't stop scratching his hair, his mind seemed to explode.

He looked at the corridor in front of him, and the classroom was two steps ahead, but for some reason he suddenly didn't want to go, skip class, he didn't think about it, just walked directly to the back of the gymnasium under the guidance of his emotions go.

There seems to be a basketball team training in the gymnasium, and the screeching sound of sneakers against the floor can be clearly heard through the back door.

Obviously, he usually finds such voices extremely annoying, but today, for some reason, these bursts of voices seem to be able to bring him back to the life without his stepfather Li Dun, making the dissatisfaction and resentment in his body Gradually subside.

He leaned his back against the back door, resting his head between his knees.After an unknown amount of time, he seemed to hear some other sounds mixed in with the bursts of sound.

When he looked up, he saw Gu Cheng'an standing in front of him with a little concern in his eyes.

When did you come?Lu Youxi didn't seem to notice.

But it doesn't matter, he thought.

He stood up facing the opponent, took another step forward slightly, and just put his head on the opponent's chest.And the other party seemed to understand, without him needing to say a word, he stretched out his arms and hugged him, waiting for him to speak.

It's just that Lu Youxi didn't say anything, just relying on it.

It wasn't until about ten minutes later that even the sound of training in the gymnasium entered the intermission, that he slightly raised his head to look at him and asked, "Is there any smoke?"

Gu Cheng'an was startled for a moment, and took out the cigarette case and lighter from his pocket.

The two sat down on the flower bed behind the gymnasium.

Lu Youxi looked back and forth with the cigarette in his hand, then pressed the lighter to light it like Gu Cheng'an usually did, and took a light breath.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he passed his throat, he couldn't stop coughing.

"cough, cough"

Seeing Lu Youxi's heavy face, Gu Cheng'an's expression suddenly became a little strange. The hand that was not holding the cigarette covered his mouth, and he frowned and said intermittently, "Why is it so difficult?"

He stared at the person for a while, then raised the corner of his mouth and smiled slightly, took the cigarette from the other person's hand, took a puff and said, "You quit smoking just as promised, and you asked me for a cigarette?"

After hearing this, Lu Youxi just curled her lips, then lowered her eyes and became silent again.

And Gu Cheng'an more or less knew that he was in a bad mood, so he sat with him like this, until he heard the other party speak again, then turned to look at this person again.

He saw Lu Youxi's drooping eyelashes flicker twice, and then said in a helpless voice: "I just want to try, is this addictive thing really that good."

After hearing this, Gu Cheng'an couldn't help but chuckled. He took down the cigarette he was holding in his mouth, and without hesitation, he pulled the opponent's chin over himself, and kissed him directly with just a puff of cigarette in his mouth, and then kissed him with his lips and teeth. They were very close and said: "It's not good, don't try it."

Lu Youxi tasted the bitterness on the tip of his tongue, and felt the warmth of his caress on his cheek, and suddenly felt that some things were very similar, like cigarettes, wine, and boyfriend.
