You go up alone, I will not go with you.

In the middle of the night, Gu Tingpei was lying on his bed at home, repeating these words in his mind.

At this moment, he is feeling powerless that he has never felt in 18 years.It was as if he had finally found someone he wanted to protect, finally got that person to give him his hand, and he could immediately take him out of that muddy world, but the other party resolutely let go halfway.

Gu Tingpei was in a gloomy mood. He sat up from the bed, took out a cigarette, and when he put it to his lips, he remembered Shen Xin's words, "Brother Ting, quit."

The young man's eyes are always black and bright, bright and full of sincerity. The first time he saw them at the food stall, he was attracted by those eyes.

The more I want to forget, the more I remember——

"Aren't you good at studying? Teach me. I don't have high requirements, as long as it is more than the penultimate."

"A man can bend and stretch. When I stretch, I am my father. When I bend, you are my brother. Don't be so cruel, Brother Ting~"

"In your eyes, working is to experience life. In my eyes, it is to make a living. Do you understand, young master?"

"Gu Tingpei beat him! Take out the hardest thing in your body and fuck him!"

"I don't know how to wear women's clothes. I just cut him up, burned him, swallowed him, and I won't show you!"

"I'm here to celebrate your birthday, aren't you moved?"

"Gu Tingpei, it's good for you to make more friends."

"In the future, you will definitely receive the best education in the best university and attract the attention of all people."

The boy's angry, happy, anxious, aggrieved, and shy expressions all vividly appeared before his eyes.

If his life is a boring program compiled by a series of lifeless codes, then Shen Xin is undoubtedly a series of garbled codes, playing cards not according to the rules, splitting a crack in his suffocating gray space, bringing in colors and sunlight .

But now, this smear is withdrawn as soon as it is said.

Gu Tingpei threw the unlit cigarette into the drawer and closed his eyes.

It turned out that he had been mistaken all along, it wasn't Shen Xin who needed him, but he needed Shen Xin.

The next day, Shen Xin didn't go to school, and took his grandmother to the hospital. After explaining the situation to the nurse at the information desk, the nurse helped him to the neurology department.

After some examinations, the doctor called Shen Xin into the office alone and told him, "It is basically Alzheimer's disease."

"Alzheimer's disease..." Shen Xin murmured and repeated.

"That's right." The doctor nodded, "This is a hidden degeneration of brain cells that is relatively common among middle-aged and elderly people. The most common symptom is memory impairment. Patients become memory loss and gradually develop other functional declines. , including language loss, and some personality changes and emotional changes."

"...Can it be cured?"

"After early detection, some treatments can be used to improve the symptoms and delay the development of the disease, but..." the doctor paused, and continued, "This disease is irreversible, and there is currently no specific medicine."

Shen Xin's body froze: "Okay...we will actively cooperate with the treatment."

The doctor prescribed the medicine and said: "Please keep your grandma in a happy mood and not be depressed. It is best to have a nanny by her side to take care of her."

"Do you need a babysitter?"

"I suggest yes, because if the disease degenerates in the later stage, symptoms such as urinary incontinence will appear. Even if you are a grandson, it is not convenient for your grandma to deal with these? And professional nannies who take care of the elderly are all experienced. I can take better care of your grandma."

"……I see……"

Shen Xin opened the door and went out, and saw grandma sitting on the chair in front of the clinic, obediently waiting for him like a primary school student.

At that moment, he seemed to see himself as a child, sitting obediently at the school gate waiting for grandma after school every day.

"How is it? What did the doctor say?" Grandma asked.

"It's okay, I prescribed some medicine, let's go home." Shen Xin smiled at her, and held her hand tightly.

Don't worry, grandma, I won't let you get lost again.

After returning home, watching grandma finish taking the medicine, Shen Xin received a call from Fang Fang.

Looking at the name that kept flashing on the caller ID, Shen Xin hesitated, walked to the yard, and picked it up.

"Hey."

"Shen Xin." Fang Fang could tell that she was a little emotional, but she tried her best to restrain herself, "I've heard about you... If you have any difficulties, you can find a teacher, and the teacher can help you. Duan Chang attaches great importance to the notification. No matter what, we will not give up on you, and you cannot give up on yourself."

"Sister Fang." Shen Xin said, "Thank you. But, I have already decided, I want to drop out of school."

"Shen Xin!" Fang Fang said angrily, "If you quit school, do you think grandma will be happy?"

Shen Xin's eyes flickered, unable to give an answer.

Fang Fang sighed: "Have you ever thought about her feelings? Grandma loves you so much, if you give up your studies for her...she will bear this guilt until the end of her life."

Shen Xin's eyelashes trembled violently.

"Shen Xin, I won't approve your application for dropping out of school, neither will Chief Duan, and I won't report it to the school. When you figure it out, call me." Fang Fang said firmly, paused, she His tone suddenly changed, as if with a faint begging, "You can call even at twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, my mobile phone is on for you 24 hours a day."

Shen Xin hung up the phone and sat silently on the rocking chair, which is where grandma usually likes to sit.He opened a housekeeping app and started searching for nanny prices.

"One month... ranging from four thousand to fifteen thousand..." Shen Xin drooped her shoulders dejectedly, feeling very tired.

Grandma lay in the room until six o'clock in the afternoon. Shen Xin knocked on the door with a bowl in her hand: "Grandma, it's time to eat."

Grandma didn't move, just said: "I can't eat."

Shen Xin sat by the bed: "If you can't eat, you have to eat, and you will be healthy if you eat more."

"Why didn't you go to school today?" Grandma asked.

"... I... I asked for leave."

"The third year of high school is so stressful, how can you ask for leave and go to class quickly."

"Grandma, I'm worried about you being home alone."

"If you don't go to class, I won't eat." After finishing speaking, grandma turned over, turned her back to Shen Xin, and covered her head with the quilt.

Shen Xin was silent for a long time, put the food on the table, and went out.

For a moment, he suddenly thought of Gu Tingpei.

Gu Tingpei has ignored him all day.

They broke up unhappy last night, and he even felt that Gu Tingpei was a little angry.

After he finished that sentence, Gu Tingpei's eyes showed disappointment.

He must feel bad about himself.

Thinking that Gu Tingpei might never come to him again, Shen Xin was very sad.

At this time, there was a sudden knock on the door. He opened the door and saw that standing at the door were Han Xu, Zhang Jingting, and... Gu Tingpei.

"Boss!"

"You...why are you here?" Shen Xin asked in surprise.

Han Xu hugged Shen Xin, "Boss, don't drop out of school, don't abandon me! Without you, how can I pretend to be aggressive in school? How can I be a majestic school bully boy? How can I behave sideways on campus go?"

"Hey, in my impression, you are not such a cowardly person." Zhang Jingting stood behind Han Xu, looking at him with folded arms, "Where did the person who just opened up for me back then go? The one who justified the name of our trash students , Where did the people who said that Zhou Kaiming was inferior to trash go?"

Shen Xin stared at them blankly, but didn't speak for a while.

After a while, he said, "You are here to be lobbyists? Fang Fang asked you to come?"

"No." It was Gu Tingpei who spoke.

Shen Xin's heart skipped a beat, and he suddenly didn't dare to look Gu Tingpei directly in the eyes.

Gu Tingpei came in and stood in front of him: "I'm here to make up your lessons."

"Eh?" Shen Xin realized that he was carrying a schoolbag.However, there is still evening self-study at night.

"Aren't you going to study at night?"

"Fang Fang and I have applied, and we will come to your home every night for self-study to give you extra lessons until you go back to school."

Shen Xin's eyes widened and he clenched his fists. After a while, he turned his head away: "Gu Tingpei, you don't need to do this for me..."

This kind of me is not worth your effort, just let me rot in the mud.

"I thought about it for a long time yesterday," Gu Tingpei approached him, reached out and brushed the broken hair on his forehead, Shen Xin's body shook for no reason.

"I must not have pulled it tight enough for you to break free from my hand."
