The other three paused, they didn't know why the boss suddenly fell down.So they stepped forward one after another, trying to grab the little chicken-like child in front of them, and beat them up violently to vent their anger.
The moment the three of them lifted their feet... "Boom—" "Boom—" "Boom—" The three of them fell to the ground one by one... It was like magic, without any warning.
The reason why Shen Xingchen ran away without turning around just now was because he wanted to gamble that there were people around to help him, and that something would fly out after a while.If not, he still has weapons in his pockets.His natural curiosity drove him to stay where he was, to see if he could see what it was that had just flown by.
Sure enough, he won the bet... Now he finally saw clearly, it was an extremely thin needle...
He raised his head and looked around, trying to see who was hiding where, but there was not even a cat in the surrounding area.
Shen Xingchen walked up to the fat man, stretched out his hand to check his breath, then stood up and kicked him, without even giving him a look, he walked straight forward.When he walked past those three people, he glanced out of the corner of his eye, as if there was something.He squatted down, tied his shoelaces, got up and walked away... His movements were smooth, not at all like a six or seven-year-old child, but like a rebellious knight-errant.
After seeing Shen Xingchen walking away, a figure swooped down from a high place...
He walked up to the fat man and pulled out the needle stuck in his neck, then walked up to the three people and pulled out the needle one by one.When he reached the last person, he was stunned...Where's the needle?
He turned the man over and over, wondering if he had ejaculated somewhere else, but in the end... there was no trace of a needle all over his body.He felt very puzzled, why did it disappear... "It's going to be restocked~" he thought helplessly, and left...
……
Shen Xingchen sat at the desk next to the bed, put the needle in his hand under the desk lamp and looked at it carefully.No matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary needle. How could it stun those people in an instant?Who is hiding in the dark?Do you see injustice on the road or follow yourself all the time?Shen Xingchen thought about it, and felt that there was no need to delve into it. Since he didn't want to show up, he should have his own reasons. After all, that person was a friend rather than an enemy, and that was enough.The more he thought about it, the more he felt relieved, Shen Xingchen showed a smile, and put the needle into a small box that he used to treasure all his treasures.
……
The experience of being blocked that day did not leave a shadow in Shen Xingchen's heart at all, he still passed by that alley every day.Maybe it's because of his fearless courage from childhood, maybe he thinks those people won't come back after suffering a loss last time, maybe...a little bit of selfishness...want to meet that hero again.
Sure enough, after walking a lot at night, it was still easy to meet ghosts. A week later, Shen Xingchen was stopped at the same place again. This time, there were more people on the other side.
"Boss, it's this kid," said the fat man last time following a boy who had obviously gone to high school. The boy had dyed yellow hair, and he looked like a ruffian who had been in the world for many years.
Shen Xingchen stood where he was, with his hands in his pockets, looking like a delicate and frail young master who was afraid of the cold.But the eyes were very indifferent. Looking at the seven people with hair dyed in seven colors with no expression on their faces, their heads were covered with rainbow-like red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple, and they still found it extremely funny in their hearts.
"Boy, what sorcery did you do last time?" Huang Mao tilted his head to one side with a cigarette in his mouth, as if he was imitating the young and Dangerous boy in a Hong Kong drama.
Shen Xingchen glanced at him, ignored him, and instead called to a person next to him, "That green-haired man, have you lived for 1 years?" After speaking, he smiled to himself Come out, unscrupulously expressing his contempt.
"Fuck!" Huang Mao threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground, and walked towards Shen Xingchen angrily, "You're looking for death."
Shen Xingchen clenched his hands tightly in his pockets, his eyes looked into the surrounding air...
Sure enough, Huang Mao took two steps... "Bang—"... fell to the ground...
"Second Brother, Second Brother," said the fat man, with his red hair on top, grabbing the arm of the orange-haired boy next to him in horror, "It was like this last time, it was like this, when the four of us woke up, we found ourselves lying on the ground."
Shen Xingchen smiled, he knew he was right again...
"Child," the orange-haired boy took a few steps forward, stood in the leading position, pointed at Shen Xingchen and said, "Dare you to do something to our Huailing Seven Sons, have you lived enough?"
Shen Xingchen raised the right corner of his mouth, pointed at the green hair and said, "Whether I've lived enough, I don't know, but I guess he must have lived enough for these 1 years."
"Go!" The orange-haired boy waved his hand, and the six rushed towards Shen Xingchen together.
Shen Xingchen still kept his hands in his pockets calmly, looking at them coldly, as if waiting for them to rush over.
As expected... six people fell to the ground one by one...
At the same time that the last one fell half a meter away from him, Shen Xingchen suddenly swayed and fell straight to the ground...
"Master!" A figure jumped down from the tree and rushed to Shen Xingchen's side.
He half-kneeled beside Shen Xingchen, hugged Shen Xingchen's upper body, and inspected it carefully, but lost the vigilance that seemed to be always around him, and didn't notice the quietly opened left eye of the person in his arms... …
Just as he was supporting Shen Xingchen's waist to check whether there were any needles in his back, suddenly his two hands tightly wrapped around his neck.He was startled, and suddenly let go of his hand, leaving Shen Xingchen's waist.Shen Xingchen's weight was hanging around his neck, but he maintained his figure entirely by the strength of his waist and legs. If someone was a little weaker, he might be torn down by Shen Xingchen.
After being stunned for a moment, he helped Shen Xingchen up again, and the two stood facing each other, but the hands were still around his neck.
"Are... all right?" He turned his head, not wanting Shen Xingchen to look directly at his face.
"What did you... call me just now?" Shen Xingchen grinned one corner of his mouth, showing a mean smile, looking up at this boy who was much taller than him, his eyes were immediately caught by the long eyelashes attracted.
"No...nothing?" His head was still tilted. If possible, he wished to turn his head 180 degrees, and a burst of pink gradually rose on his almost transparent white face.After a long while, he thought of tearing Shen Xingchen's hands off his neck, but those obviously weak hands were tightly clasped behind his neck. He tried several times but failed.At this moment, it looks like a little orangutan is hanging around his neck, which looks very funny.
"Who are you? Why did you save me?" Shen Xingchen hung on for a while, maybe he also felt that his arms were too tired, so he put them down, but before the man turned around, he quickly wrapped his arms around the man's waist.His waist is thinner than children of the same age, even in thick winter clothes, he can still be hugged by a child.There was only one thought in Shen Xingchen's mind right now - he must not be let go without asking for something.
"I...I..." This was an eleven or twelve-year-old child, who obviously didn't know how to solve the predicament in front of him, "I just saw a rough road... I drew my sword to help."
"Then your road is not wide, you draw your sword in the same place all day long...follow me?" Shen Xingchen said while quietly poking around on him.
"I...I also go to this school," the boy's face was already flushed, "I walk this way every day."
"Really?" Shen Xingchen narrowed his eyes, "With this alley as the center, there are three elementary schools on a circle with an equal radius. Why do you say...'also in this school'?"
"I...you..." The boy in front of him was obviously in a hurry, he wanted to pull Shen Xingchen's hand away and ran away.And at the same time when his movements became larger, Shen Xingchen took out a dagger from his waist...
"Going to school... Do you still need to bring a knife?" Shen Xingchen raised the dagger and shook it in front of his eyes, then saw the word "Xi" engraved on it, and paused, "Xi? Is it your name?"
The boy ignored him and stretched out his hand to snatch it, but he was afraid of hurting Shen Xingchen, so he didn't snatch the dagger several times.
"Why do you call me Young Master?" Shen Xingchen asked in a very firm tone, holding the dagger behind his back, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something, "I haven't seen you at home."
"You heard it wrong." After all, the boy was a few years older than Shen Xingchen, and his body and limbs were longer. He reached out and walked around behind Shen Xingchen, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, successfully grabbed the dagger, turned and ran away... this series The movement seemed to only happen in an instant, before Shen Xingchen could react, the boy disappeared.
"Brother Xi——" Shen Xingchen turned towards the direction where his figure disappeared, "Will you come again?" However, there was no other voice echoing in the quiet air because of his question.
Shen Xingchen was stunned for a while, fearing that the seven gangsters would wake up, he immediately left the alley.He didn't know why he had a sense of dependence on this boy from the bottom of his heart. It felt as if this person had been guarding his side since he was born, which gave him such a strong sense of security.
Seeing Shen Xingchen walking away, the boy came back and pulled out all the needles...
If the previous Shen Xingchen was just aloof, since then, Shen Xingchen has started the unscrupulous martial arts overlord mode.He doesn't run amok in the countryside, and he doesn't bully the city, but no one dares to provoke him.At school, the principal and teacher doted on her; in the compound, Zhou Ting spoiled him; on the road, there was a silent figure protecting him.He does whatever he wants, and when he sees someone who doesn't like him, he looks at that person with a look of contempt and contempt for all sentient beings, letting that person know that he discriminates against him openly in his heart, and that look and expression can make others angry.Everyone thinks that this person even walks sideways, and it's nothing more than a person who is loved by thousands of people.
Some gangsters who are not afraid of death take advantage of their age, and at the beginning they often gather some high school students, trying to teach him a lesson, let him know that the moon is only round when it is fifteen.However, whether it is outside the school gate, in the alley, on the road, or at the gate of the compound, these people without exception have only one fate, which is... "Bang--".Shen Xingchen didn't even look at them, walked his own way, didn't even stop in his footsteps, and when he saw someone blocking him, he yelled "Brother Xi, help!", and then walked past those lying down When he was around, he let out a "hum".In fact, he was not afraid at all, he knew that figure must be somewhere not far from him, he just wanted to call his name, so that the person would know that he was thinking of him.
Similarly, every time Shen Xingchen walked away, that figure would jump out and take all the needles away.During Shen Xingchen's four years in elementary school, he protected him countless times, but the only needle he lost was the original needle.
Why did Shen Xingchen only go to elementary school for four years?Of course, it's because this weird girl couldn't bear the boring elementary school time, so she pestered Zhou Ting to skip a grade.Zhou Ting didn't want him to show off so much, but she had no choice but to take him to school a few times because she was pestered by him, and skipped two grades back and forth.
So... the ten-year-old Young Master Shen went to Huailing Middle School, which was far away from the compound, and started his junior high school career.
Junior high school is nine-year compulsory education, and they can only go to middle schools in the jurisdiction according to the place of residence registration.Huailing Middle School is not considered a good school in Yunchuan City, on the contrary, it is considered a relatively poor school.Shen Xingchen left the beautiful elementary school, and had to walk four to ten minutes every day, or take the bus for half an hour to get to school.
After changing to a new environment, Shen Xingchen kept a low profile at first, not chatting with other people, and not going to and from school with his classmates.However, after several exams, he was like a 24K titanium alloy, blinding the teachers of various subjects.Especially at the New Year's Gala four months later, after Shen Xingchen, who is about to turn 11, sang a French song, Huailing Middle School has naturally become his glorious territory again...
Zhou Ting likes to go to the parent-teacher meeting every time after the exam, because listening to the teacher's constant praise of Shen Xingchen makes her heart sweeter than eating honey, but she is most afraid of going to the parent-teacher meeting, because there is no way around her. Just like when they were in elementary school, the parents seemed to snatch away the air around her, except that they didn't want photos...
On the way back to the compound after school on the last day before New Year's Day, I was thinking that I hadn't heard from Brother Xi for more than half a year, whether he had already left, why he never showed up for my birthday, and didn't even give a birthday present pass it to him.Tomorrow is his 11th birthday, and he really wants to see this boy again, even in a hurry.
Just as he was thinking, Shen Xingchen found himself walking into that alley without knowing it.There were a few people surrounded by something in front of him, Shen Xingchen couldn't help laughing suddenly, it was like a rainbow was on top of those people's heads...
Shen Xingchen approached with a smile, and found that they were surrounded by a shivering little boy.I saw that boy in the compound. Zhou Ting picked it up a while ago. I don’t remember his name. It seems that his surname is Lin, and he should have just entered elementary school.
"Why did you get blocked by these bastards~" Shen Xingchen thought, and walked over quickly.If someone else was blocked, Shen Xingchen, who had always hoped to train himself to be a cold-blooded killer, might have turned around and left, but that was a child in the courtyard. He knew that Zhou Ting had always loved the children in the courtyard as if they were her own. , this child, he can't ignore it.
"What are you doing?" Shen Xingchen stood behind Rainbow Head.
Several people turned around, a green hair pointed at Shen Xingchen and said impatiently: "It's none of your business, get out!"
Shen Xingchen walked over as if he hadn't heard it, pushed away the red hair beside him, walked to the curled up boy, held him in his arms, bowed his head and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'll bring you You go home."
Hearing his voice, the boy raised his head and looked at him shyly, with drops of water still hanging from his eyelashes.
"Hey - there is someone who is not afraid of death~" The green hair seemed to be irritated by the ignorance just now, and was about to go forward as he spoke, but was grabbed by the fat man with red hair beside him.
"You...you you you..." The fat red-haired man pointed at Shen Xingchen tremblingly and said, as if he just recognized him.
"Hey, the seven sons of Huai Ling?" Shen Xingchen raised the left corner of his mouth, "Why, this name...is it still hereditary? Has it been changed?!"
"Brother, why are you pulling me?" The green hair impatiently waved away the fat man's hand holding his arm, and said to Shen Xingchen, "Since you know us, you should know, who did you offend today?!"
"He, he, he..." The fat man with red hair grabbed the green hair again, his eyes filled with horror.
"Haha..." Shen Xingchen smiled contemptuously, "Since you recognized me, you should know who is messing with you today."
"Brother, go take medicine if you are sick." Lumao shook off his hand again, without a chance to explain to the fat man, "A little chicken, are you afraid that he will do something stupid?!" Shen Xingchen walked over.
Shen Xingchen protects the child in his arms completely in his body. In fact, he has no confidence. He doesn't know if the person who has been protecting him is still there. The only thing that can fight back is the spray in his pocket. At this time, both hands are protected. Looking at that child, there may not be a chance to take it out.Seeing the green hair approaching, he closed his eyes, thinking quickly in his mind how to pull the child in his arms to break through which gap, and subconsciously shouted: "Brother Xi, help."
In an instant, Lu Mao fell to the ground...
"Ah—" the fat man with red hair screamed and ran away, as if he had encountered the shadow of his life.
"Master, don't be afraid, I'm here." A boy's warm voice came from not far away, that voice was familiar and special, and one could recognize it immediately.
Shen Xingchen smiled...it turns out that he has been here...he didn't leave...
The remaining five people stayed where they were, with the green hair lying in front of them, and the boss ran away. They... should they run?
"Why are you still standing there?" Shen Xingchen straightened his back, "Do you want to die too?"
"Boom—" The people in front of me scattered like birds and beasts...
Shen Xingchen froze for a moment, and his eyes became quiet again.
"Brother Xi..." Shen Xingchen called out again, but this time, there was no response at all, only the child in his arms was still looking at him stupidly.
He...Let's go again... Shen Xingchen lowered his head and thought, the expression of surprise dimmed.He said to the child in his arms, "Are you also from the orphanage?"
The child nodded, tightly clutching the corner of Shen Xingchen's clothes.
"Me too, let's go home." As he said that, he pulled the hem of the clothes out of the child's hand, took the child's hand, and turned into a small path on the right.
Seeing Shen Xingchen's figure disappear, the man jumped down again, and was about to pull out the needle on Lumao's neck, when suddenly Shen Xingchen jumped out with the child, just in time to see him squatting beside Lumao.
He saw Shen Xingchen, then looked at the child, was stunned for a moment, pulled out the needle suddenly, and ran away in an instant.
"Tomorrow is my birthday, can you come and eat a piece of cake?" Shen Xingchen shouted towards his figure going away, but there was no response.
The child in his hand had been staring at the person next to Lumao just now, and after seeing him disappear, he looked up at Shen Xingchen again, with a hint of charm in the corners of his long eyes.Shen Xingchen patted the child's head, and then took a closer look at the child's appearance, it turned out to be very white and cute - what a beautiful child, why didn't the family want him? !
"Go home!" Shen Xingchen led the child and walked towards the compound, but it was a straight road and did not turn into the path just now.
New Year's Day...Shen Xingchen's 11th birthday.
Zhou Ting cooked a table of dishes, and ordered another bowl of small wontons.
Shen Xingchen sat at the table and ate happily. What was different from previous years was that there was a child sitting beside him, the one he brought back yesterday.Since meeting Shen Xingchen yesterday, that child has followed him every step of the way without saying a word.Shen Xingchen himself didn't like taking children to play, and tried to drive him away, coax him away, or scare him away several times, but he just wouldn't leave.Sometimes Shen Xingchen pretended to be angry and yelled at him, but he just ran away with his head down, and appeared in Shen Xingchen's sight again within 2 minutes.
Shen Xingchen had no choice but to acquiesce that he stayed by his side. This child hadn't been here for a long time, and Shen Xingchen was not familiar with him at all, and he was not interested in playing with him. Fortunately, he was not annoying, and he was usually by his side. Playing with me, I just don't like letting Shen Xingchen out of my sight.
Shen Xingchen ate happily. From time to time, he picked up a little bit with his chopsticks and fed it to the child around him, and the child returned him with a bright smile.After eating, Shen Xingchen sat in the yard basking in the sun, that child also ran over, took a small bench, sat beside him, rested his chin, and looked at him with a smile.Shen Xingchen didn't look back, reached out and touched his head, smiling.
"Xiao Shen," the doorman, Uncle Li, came over, holding a box in his hand, "There was a boy outside the door just now, let me give this to you, saying yes...Happy birthday to you."
Shen Xingchen jumped up suddenly, startling the children beside him.He rushed out of the gate, looking for something everywhere, but there was no shadow around.
Shen Xingchen walked back with his head down helplessly, and took the box from Uncle Li's hand: "Did he say anything else?"
"It's gone, and then I left." Uncle Li looked at him worriedly, "That kid looks quite big, he doesn't look like your classmate. Xiao Shen, don't meet some messy people outside. "
"I see, thank you, Grandpa Li." Shen Xingchen took the box back to the place where he was sitting just now, held the box, lowered his head and remained motionless.After a while, he opened the box and found a small Captain America's shield in the box. The workmanship was very delicate, and he knew it was expensive at first glance.The point is that at that time, such things were not easy to see on the market.
"He knows that I like Captain America?" Shen Xingchen was secretly happy.
Ever since he was 3 years old and accidentally saw a comic from a returnee neighbor's house, Shen Xingchen fell in love with this character who counterattacked the super god. He often held the pot lid at home, and the cos team ran around the house, saying that he would Alien monsters are driven out of the earth. On his 4th birthday, his father gave him a Captain America keychain made by himself, which made him very happy. Since that day, that keychain has never left his body.
He closed the little box and held it tightly in his hand...
"Brother Fourteen," the child beside him suddenly called him, "What is this?"
Shen Xingchen turned his head in surprise: "Oh, you can talk?!"
"Yeah." The child nodded heavily.
Shen Xingchen was in a very good mood, so he started to tease him...
"What's your name?"
"My name is Lin Wangyan."
"Forget the words?" Shen Xingchen raised his eyebrows, "Your parents want you to be dumb? No wonder you are so quiet."
"My...Parents..." The child lowered his head, tears began to roll in his eyes, "They never liked me, and finally threw me away..."
Shen Xingchen suddenly felt guilty, felt that he had said the wrong thing, and thought about how to coax this child, but he has always only coaxed girls, and has no experience in coaxing boys. "Should the routines be similar?!" He thought.
So, Shen Xingchen took the child into his arms, patted his head, patted his back, and whispered in his ear: "It's okay, I'm still by your side, I will always be with you, no I will let anyone bully you again." Saying that, she let go of him, grabbed his hand and put it on her lips for a kiss.
The child shook his tear-stained long eyelashes and looked at Shen Xingchen.
"Since they don't want you anymore, you don't want them either. Follow me from now on, and I'll take care of you." Shen Xingchen said, thinking that he had been left here for several years, and there was a resentment in his heart, "Don't call this dumb The name is gone, how about I change it for you?"
The boy stayed there, after a while, and nodded.
"People say 'Feng Qitong, Long Linyuan', I believe you will be a man of indomitable spirit in the future, otherwise, your name will be Lin Yuan, okay?"
It's strange to say that this welfare home, starting from the dean, everyone likes to name others...
"Brother Fourteen just say yes!" The boy smiled, his eyes were crooked, and he looked very pretty.
"Okay - from today onwards, you will be called A Yuan!" Shen Xingchen smiled, stood up, hugged him and shook him twice, making the little boy laugh out loud.
Lin Yuan seemed to be very clingy, as long as Shen Xingchen didn't go to school, he would follow Shen Xingchen in the yard, watching what Shen Xingchen was doing.Shen Xingchen was reading a book, and he was reading it with the book; Shen Xingchen was watching TV dramas, and he was sitting beside him; Clap your hands when you're done.
"Little kid, do you understand?" Shen Xingchen patted his head with a smile.
"It's fine as long as it sounds good." Lin Yuan said seriously.
……
"Brother Fourteen, will I...will I die?" Lin Yuan has been in poor health since he was a child, and it may be because of this that he was abandoned by his family.After a cold and high fever, complications were caused and he was admitted to the intensive care unit.
"Are you stupid?" Shen Xingchen touched Lin Yuan's face lying on the hospital bed, "I am several years older than you, so if I die, I will die first."
"I won't let you die...but I feel...so uncomfortable." Lin Yuan coughed a few times.
"You're just sick, you'll be fine after taking the medicine." After taking this child for a long time, Shen Xingchen also became more patient. He always felt that this child was so weak, as if a gust of wind could take him away .
"Brother Fourteen, you said you would take care of me forever, is that true?" Lin Yuan blinked.
"Of course, I'm alone too. From now on, I'll take you with me wherever I go."
"Really?"
"real."
"Pull Gogou..."
"..." Despite his reluctance, Shen Xingchen stretched out his hand and hooked Lin Yuan's little finger, looking at the delicate child on the hospital bed with a smile like a flower.
"My brother will tell you a story." Shen Xingchen suddenly thought of something to encourage him, "A long time ago, the whole world was at war. In the United States, there was a little boy who wanted to join the army. But he was too weak, The physical condition is very poor, and many of them are not up to standard..."
Shen Xingchen told Lin Yuan the story of Captain America, and he hoped that Lin Yuan could also muster up his courage and cheer up.But he didn't know that as long as he was by his side, the child in front of him would have infinite courage.
"Did he really become a great hero?" Lin Yuan seemed attracted by the story.
"Of course!" Shen Xingchen said, and took out the key chain that he had been carrying with him for so many years, "Look, how brave you are."
Lin Yuan took the keychain and touched it lightly, as if he liked it very much.When he touched the notch on the shield, he rubbed his fingertips several times. It was two small crooked characters—fourteen.At first glance, it was carved by Shen Xingchen himself before.
"Do you like it?" Shen Xingchen looked at Lin Yuan who couldn't put it down.
"En." Lin Yuan reluctantly handed it to Shen Xingchen again, but he still had an extremely nostalgic look on his face.
"If you like it, I will give it to you." Shen Xingchen put the keychain in Lin Yuan's palm and held his hand, "Keep it well, there is only one in the world, if you lose it, there will be no more."
Lin Yuan seemed to understand the hidden meaning in his words, but what Shen Xingchen said was completely literal, because it was made by his father himself, isn't it the only one in the world.
A week later, Lin Yuan was successfully transferred to the general ward...
Shen Xingchen asked for leave and has been taking care of Lin Yuan in the hospital. Zhou Ting also took care of the children in the hospital and came to deliver meals every day.The doctors and nurses couldn't bear to look at it. A ten-year-old child was taking care of a few-year-old child without sleep, thinking in his heart-these two brothers have such a good relationship, brother and friend are respectful, and the elder brother is so sensible. Mom is so happy.Therefore, every time Zhou Ting came to the hospital, the doctors and nurses would look enviously, and from time to time they would gather around and ask questions.Zhou Ting was very confused, why no matter where she went, there were people around her, and she was not a celebrity.
But in fact, Shen Xingchen didn't have anything special about this child. He just knew that Zhou Ting's financial conditions were limited, she couldn't afford to hire a nurse, and the other children couldn't be counted on. She had a large yard of children to take care of. I can only rely on him.So for Zhou Ting, he could only do his best to take care of Lin Yuan, hoping that he would get better as soon as possible, so that Zhou Ting could worry less and go to class by himself.Of course, there is another layer—this child is indeed pitiful. Although Shen Xingchen is polite and cold to strangers, he still has the heart of a saint, so he has been working hard to train himself to be a cold-blooded killer, "soft-hearted." It will be fatal!" He often reminded himself, but he still couldn't help it when something happened.
He didn't know that his inadvertence and even helplessness in the past two or three years seemed to Lin Yuan to be a deep love. It had already been planted in his heart like a seed, took root and sprouted, and could never be pulled out for the rest of his life... …
In the three years of junior high school, Shen Xingchen spent his time in the school with great glory. Unlike elementary school, Huai Ling Middle School has always been regarded as a second-rate school. Suddenly there is such a fantastic student as Shen Xingchen, and the principal treats him as a student. As an elated hope.Shen Xingchen, who is delicate and frail and doesn't like sports, doesn't even take physical education classes. He doesn't believe in the tricks of the physical education teacher that "if he fails the physical examination, he will not be admitted to high school". If there is a choice between the two options of "punishing the physical education teacher to think behind closed doors for a month", the principal will definitely choose the latter without hesitation.
How much the teachers of various subjects doted on Shen Xingchen——One time in a math class, a classmate in the back row kept kicking his stool legs. When I was two, I rushed to that person, grabbed his schoolbag, threw it out from the window on the third floor, and said, "Go get treatment for ADHD, and come back to class when you get better." He went straight back to his seat and sat down.
The whole class was dumbfounded...
The math teacher said to the classmate: "Go, pick up the schoolbag. If you don't mess with him, why would he throw things at you? Be honest in class."
The whole class was even more dumbfounded...
However, there are unpredictable things in the sky, God still has eyes, seeing Shen Xingchen being so arrogant, the solar particle storm is very uncomfortable.So, the high school entrance examination...Shen Xingchen suffered a tragic defeat in Waterloo...
Shen Xingchen, whose heart is higher than the sky and whose fate is thinner than paper, relied on his good grades to apply for the best middle school in Yunchuan——Yunchuan No. [-] Middle School.As a result, the results of the senior high school entrance examination came out, and he was stunned to find that his score was... one point worse.It stands to reason that Shen Xingchen's test scores are already very good, even if he can't get into Yunchuan No. [-] Middle School, he can still go to other key middle schools.However, Shen Xingchen, who was like the proud son of heaven in [-], couldn't accept this point of passing Yunchuan No. [-] Middle School.
Shen Xingchen locked himself in the room after checking the score.Zhou Ting knocked on the door and he refused to open it, and Lin Yuan called the door and he refused to open it.
Shen Xingchen lay on the bed until the afternoon, feeling thirsty, so he got out of bed to drink a glass of water, and suddenly saw a face stuck on the window, and almost spit out water in fright.Taking a closer look, it turned out that Lin Yuan was lying on the window and watching him the whole time.
"Get out!" Shen Xingchen roared, through the window glass, Lin Yuan didn't hear what he was shouting, but judging from the shape of his mouth, he could tell that he was telling him to get out.
Lin Yuan curled his lips and shook his head, expressing that he was very worried about him.
Shen Xingchen sighed, waved to Lin Yuan, turned around and opened the door.
"Brother Fourteen—" Lin Yuan stood at the door.
"Are you sick?! Lying on the window is scary."
"I..." Lin Yuan was speechless for a while.
"I'm fine... I'm sleepy... Go back to sleep." After speaking, he was about to close the door, but was stopped by a pair of hands.
Shen Xingchen looked up and saw that it was Zhou Ting.
Seeing Zhou Ting, Shen Xingchen lowered his head, went back to the bed and sat down quietly, which was a tacit consent to let them in.
Zhou Ting asked Lin Yuan to go back to her room, saying that she had something to say to Brother Fourteen.Lin Yuan stretched out his head to look at Shen Xingchen, feeling a little bit reluctant, but left anyway.
Zhou Ting sat on the stool opposite Shen Xingchen, looked at him, and waited for him to speak.
After a while, Shen Xingchen raised his head...
"Aunt Zhou, I'm so useless, so my parents aren't on a business trip at all, right? They just don't want me, right?"
Zhou Ting knew that sooner or later Shen Xingchen would ask her about her parents. After all, he hadn't seen his biological parents for more than 7 years, and the lie about his parents going on a business trip must have been hidden.For so many years, he didn't ask, or even said nothing, and kept all the questions in his heart, not because he didn't care, but maybe because he didn't want to hear Zhou Ting make up lies to deceive him.
"Don't lie to me. I've grown up. I don't care if they want me or not. I just want to hear the truth." Shen Xingchen stared at Zhou Ting firmly, there was no sadness in his eyes, only indifference.
Looking at Shen Xingchen's eyes, Zhou Ting suddenly felt sad and distressed again.She didn't know whether she should tell him the truth, but she really didn't want to lie to him, and she didn't want him to misunderstand her parents who loved him deeply. After all, they were also the people she loved deeply.
"A long time ago, I was thinking that one day you would tell me this sentence..." Zhou Ting sighed, "I should have told you a long time ago..."
Zhou Ting told Shen Xingchen everything about the past between herself and the Shen family couple, and she didn't hide anything from him that she loved Shen Yu.Afterwards, he told him that he received a call from Shen Yu, and later picked him up at the gate of the compound late one night.She just concealed the information about the half-grown child who sent him here, she instinctively felt that Shen Yu didn't want him to know about the hidden guard beside him.
"Then what happened to them afterwards? Dead or alive?" Shen Xingchen's eyes were finally no longer indifferent, but a trace of anxiety rose.
"I don't know. Later, I went to check it myself. There was no news at all. No one was alive... No dead body." Zhou Ting lowered her head and buried her face in her hands, her voice choked with sobs.
"How could this be?" Shen Xingchen frowned slightly, and suddenly recalled the situation that day in his mind, the sound of firecrackers outside the room, shouts, and his father said that if he won the hide-and-seek, he would eat braised pork...
It's not firecrackers, it's gunshots... It's not cheers, it's screams... No hide-and-seek, no braised pork, Dad just wants to hide himself and wait for rescue...
Who is going to kill their family?What did the parents do to provoke these desperadoes? ...Everything is a mystery, and I don't know anything, like a fool, I have lived happily and unscrupulously for the past seven or eight years, enjoying the love of everyone around me, and at the same time harboring a weak heart. resentment of being abandoned by parents,
"By the way," Zhou Ting thought of something, "the day you were sent here, there was still a file bag. Your parents left you a house, which seems to be not far from Huailing Middle School. You have grown up too, if You don't want to stay here anymore, you can move back."
The moment the three of them lifted their feet... "Boom—" "Boom—" "Boom—" The three of them fell to the ground one by one... It was like magic, without any warning.
The reason why Shen Xingchen ran away without turning around just now was because he wanted to gamble that there were people around to help him, and that something would fly out after a while.If not, he still has weapons in his pockets.His natural curiosity drove him to stay where he was, to see if he could see what it was that had just flown by.
Sure enough, he won the bet... Now he finally saw clearly, it was an extremely thin needle...
He raised his head and looked around, trying to see who was hiding where, but there was not even a cat in the surrounding area.
Shen Xingchen walked up to the fat man, stretched out his hand to check his breath, then stood up and kicked him, without even giving him a look, he walked straight forward.When he walked past those three people, he glanced out of the corner of his eye, as if there was something.He squatted down, tied his shoelaces, got up and walked away... His movements were smooth, not at all like a six or seven-year-old child, but like a rebellious knight-errant.
After seeing Shen Xingchen walking away, a figure swooped down from a high place...
He walked up to the fat man and pulled out the needle stuck in his neck, then walked up to the three people and pulled out the needle one by one.When he reached the last person, he was stunned...Where's the needle?
He turned the man over and over, wondering if he had ejaculated somewhere else, but in the end... there was no trace of a needle all over his body.He felt very puzzled, why did it disappear... "It's going to be restocked~" he thought helplessly, and left...
……
Shen Xingchen sat at the desk next to the bed, put the needle in his hand under the desk lamp and looked at it carefully.No matter how you look at it, it is just an ordinary needle. How could it stun those people in an instant?Who is hiding in the dark?Do you see injustice on the road or follow yourself all the time?Shen Xingchen thought about it, and felt that there was no need to delve into it. Since he didn't want to show up, he should have his own reasons. After all, that person was a friend rather than an enemy, and that was enough.The more he thought about it, the more he felt relieved, Shen Xingchen showed a smile, and put the needle into a small box that he used to treasure all his treasures.
……
The experience of being blocked that day did not leave a shadow in Shen Xingchen's heart at all, he still passed by that alley every day.Maybe it's because of his fearless courage from childhood, maybe he thinks those people won't come back after suffering a loss last time, maybe...a little bit of selfishness...want to meet that hero again.
Sure enough, after walking a lot at night, it was still easy to meet ghosts. A week later, Shen Xingchen was stopped at the same place again. This time, there were more people on the other side.
"Boss, it's this kid," said the fat man last time following a boy who had obviously gone to high school. The boy had dyed yellow hair, and he looked like a ruffian who had been in the world for many years.
Shen Xingchen stood where he was, with his hands in his pockets, looking like a delicate and frail young master who was afraid of the cold.But the eyes were very indifferent. Looking at the seven people with hair dyed in seven colors with no expression on their faces, their heads were covered with rainbow-like red, orange, yellow, green, blue, blue and purple, and they still found it extremely funny in their hearts.
"Boy, what sorcery did you do last time?" Huang Mao tilted his head to one side with a cigarette in his mouth, as if he was imitating the young and Dangerous boy in a Hong Kong drama.
Shen Xingchen glanced at him, ignored him, and instead called to a person next to him, "That green-haired man, have you lived for 1 years?" After speaking, he smiled to himself Come out, unscrupulously expressing his contempt.
"Fuck!" Huang Mao threw the cigarette in his hand on the ground, and walked towards Shen Xingchen angrily, "You're looking for death."
Shen Xingchen clenched his hands tightly in his pockets, his eyes looked into the surrounding air...
Sure enough, Huang Mao took two steps... "Bang—"... fell to the ground...
"Second Brother, Second Brother," said the fat man, with his red hair on top, grabbing the arm of the orange-haired boy next to him in horror, "It was like this last time, it was like this, when the four of us woke up, we found ourselves lying on the ground."
Shen Xingchen smiled, he knew he was right again...
"Child," the orange-haired boy took a few steps forward, stood in the leading position, pointed at Shen Xingchen and said, "Dare you to do something to our Huailing Seven Sons, have you lived enough?"
Shen Xingchen raised the right corner of his mouth, pointed at the green hair and said, "Whether I've lived enough, I don't know, but I guess he must have lived enough for these 1 years."
"Go!" The orange-haired boy waved his hand, and the six rushed towards Shen Xingchen together.
Shen Xingchen still kept his hands in his pockets calmly, looking at them coldly, as if waiting for them to rush over.
As expected... six people fell to the ground one by one...
At the same time that the last one fell half a meter away from him, Shen Xingchen suddenly swayed and fell straight to the ground...
"Master!" A figure jumped down from the tree and rushed to Shen Xingchen's side.
He half-kneeled beside Shen Xingchen, hugged Shen Xingchen's upper body, and inspected it carefully, but lost the vigilance that seemed to be always around him, and didn't notice the quietly opened left eye of the person in his arms... …
Just as he was supporting Shen Xingchen's waist to check whether there were any needles in his back, suddenly his two hands tightly wrapped around his neck.He was startled, and suddenly let go of his hand, leaving Shen Xingchen's waist.Shen Xingchen's weight was hanging around his neck, but he maintained his figure entirely by the strength of his waist and legs. If someone was a little weaker, he might be torn down by Shen Xingchen.
After being stunned for a moment, he helped Shen Xingchen up again, and the two stood facing each other, but the hands were still around his neck.
"Are... all right?" He turned his head, not wanting Shen Xingchen to look directly at his face.
"What did you... call me just now?" Shen Xingchen grinned one corner of his mouth, showing a mean smile, looking up at this boy who was much taller than him, his eyes were immediately caught by the long eyelashes attracted.
"No...nothing?" His head was still tilted. If possible, he wished to turn his head 180 degrees, and a burst of pink gradually rose on his almost transparent white face.After a long while, he thought of tearing Shen Xingchen's hands off his neck, but those obviously weak hands were tightly clasped behind his neck. He tried several times but failed.At this moment, it looks like a little orangutan is hanging around his neck, which looks very funny.
"Who are you? Why did you save me?" Shen Xingchen hung on for a while, maybe he also felt that his arms were too tired, so he put them down, but before the man turned around, he quickly wrapped his arms around the man's waist.His waist is thinner than children of the same age, even in thick winter clothes, he can still be hugged by a child.There was only one thought in Shen Xingchen's mind right now - he must not be let go without asking for something.
"I...I..." This was an eleven or twelve-year-old child, who obviously didn't know how to solve the predicament in front of him, "I just saw a rough road... I drew my sword to help."
"Then your road is not wide, you draw your sword in the same place all day long...follow me?" Shen Xingchen said while quietly poking around on him.
"I...I also go to this school," the boy's face was already flushed, "I walk this way every day."
"Really?" Shen Xingchen narrowed his eyes, "With this alley as the center, there are three elementary schools on a circle with an equal radius. Why do you say...'also in this school'?"
"I...you..." The boy in front of him was obviously in a hurry, he wanted to pull Shen Xingchen's hand away and ran away.And at the same time when his movements became larger, Shen Xingchen took out a dagger from his waist...
"Going to school... Do you still need to bring a knife?" Shen Xingchen raised the dagger and shook it in front of his eyes, then saw the word "Xi" engraved on it, and paused, "Xi? Is it your name?"
The boy ignored him and stretched out his hand to snatch it, but he was afraid of hurting Shen Xingchen, so he didn't snatch the dagger several times.
"Why do you call me Young Master?" Shen Xingchen asked in a very firm tone, holding the dagger behind his back, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something, "I haven't seen you at home."
"You heard it wrong." After all, the boy was a few years older than Shen Xingchen, and his body and limbs were longer. He reached out and walked around behind Shen Xingchen, taking advantage of his unpreparedness, successfully grabbed the dagger, turned and ran away... this series The movement seemed to only happen in an instant, before Shen Xingchen could react, the boy disappeared.
"Brother Xi——" Shen Xingchen turned towards the direction where his figure disappeared, "Will you come again?" However, there was no other voice echoing in the quiet air because of his question.
Shen Xingchen was stunned for a while, fearing that the seven gangsters would wake up, he immediately left the alley.He didn't know why he had a sense of dependence on this boy from the bottom of his heart. It felt as if this person had been guarding his side since he was born, which gave him such a strong sense of security.
Seeing Shen Xingchen walking away, the boy came back and pulled out all the needles...
If the previous Shen Xingchen was just aloof, since then, Shen Xingchen has started the unscrupulous martial arts overlord mode.He doesn't run amok in the countryside, and he doesn't bully the city, but no one dares to provoke him.At school, the principal and teacher doted on her; in the compound, Zhou Ting spoiled him; on the road, there was a silent figure protecting him.He does whatever he wants, and when he sees someone who doesn't like him, he looks at that person with a look of contempt and contempt for all sentient beings, letting that person know that he discriminates against him openly in his heart, and that look and expression can make others angry.Everyone thinks that this person even walks sideways, and it's nothing more than a person who is loved by thousands of people.
Some gangsters who are not afraid of death take advantage of their age, and at the beginning they often gather some high school students, trying to teach him a lesson, let him know that the moon is only round when it is fifteen.However, whether it is outside the school gate, in the alley, on the road, or at the gate of the compound, these people without exception have only one fate, which is... "Bang--".Shen Xingchen didn't even look at them, walked his own way, didn't even stop in his footsteps, and when he saw someone blocking him, he yelled "Brother Xi, help!", and then walked past those lying down When he was around, he let out a "hum".In fact, he was not afraid at all, he knew that figure must be somewhere not far from him, he just wanted to call his name, so that the person would know that he was thinking of him.
Similarly, every time Shen Xingchen walked away, that figure would jump out and take all the needles away.During Shen Xingchen's four years in elementary school, he protected him countless times, but the only needle he lost was the original needle.
Why did Shen Xingchen only go to elementary school for four years?Of course, it's because this weird girl couldn't bear the boring elementary school time, so she pestered Zhou Ting to skip a grade.Zhou Ting didn't want him to show off so much, but she had no choice but to take him to school a few times because she was pestered by him, and skipped two grades back and forth.
So... the ten-year-old Young Master Shen went to Huailing Middle School, which was far away from the compound, and started his junior high school career.
Junior high school is nine-year compulsory education, and they can only go to middle schools in the jurisdiction according to the place of residence registration.Huailing Middle School is not considered a good school in Yunchuan City, on the contrary, it is considered a relatively poor school.Shen Xingchen left the beautiful elementary school, and had to walk four to ten minutes every day, or take the bus for half an hour to get to school.
After changing to a new environment, Shen Xingchen kept a low profile at first, not chatting with other people, and not going to and from school with his classmates.However, after several exams, he was like a 24K titanium alloy, blinding the teachers of various subjects.Especially at the New Year's Gala four months later, after Shen Xingchen, who is about to turn 11, sang a French song, Huailing Middle School has naturally become his glorious territory again...
Zhou Ting likes to go to the parent-teacher meeting every time after the exam, because listening to the teacher's constant praise of Shen Xingchen makes her heart sweeter than eating honey, but she is most afraid of going to the parent-teacher meeting, because there is no way around her. Just like when they were in elementary school, the parents seemed to snatch away the air around her, except that they didn't want photos...
On the way back to the compound after school on the last day before New Year's Day, I was thinking that I hadn't heard from Brother Xi for more than half a year, whether he had already left, why he never showed up for my birthday, and didn't even give a birthday present pass it to him.Tomorrow is his 11th birthday, and he really wants to see this boy again, even in a hurry.
Just as he was thinking, Shen Xingchen found himself walking into that alley without knowing it.There were a few people surrounded by something in front of him, Shen Xingchen couldn't help laughing suddenly, it was like a rainbow was on top of those people's heads...
Shen Xingchen approached with a smile, and found that they were surrounded by a shivering little boy.I saw that boy in the compound. Zhou Ting picked it up a while ago. I don’t remember his name. It seems that his surname is Lin, and he should have just entered elementary school.
"Why did you get blocked by these bastards~" Shen Xingchen thought, and walked over quickly.If someone else was blocked, Shen Xingchen, who had always hoped to train himself to be a cold-blooded killer, might have turned around and left, but that was a child in the courtyard. He knew that Zhou Ting had always loved the children in the courtyard as if they were her own. , this child, he can't ignore it.
"What are you doing?" Shen Xingchen stood behind Rainbow Head.
Several people turned around, a green hair pointed at Shen Xingchen and said impatiently: "It's none of your business, get out!"
Shen Xingchen walked over as if he hadn't heard it, pushed away the red hair beside him, walked to the curled up boy, held him in his arms, bowed his head and said softly, "Don't be afraid, I'll bring you You go home."
Hearing his voice, the boy raised his head and looked at him shyly, with drops of water still hanging from his eyelashes.
"Hey - there is someone who is not afraid of death~" The green hair seemed to be irritated by the ignorance just now, and was about to go forward as he spoke, but was grabbed by the fat man with red hair beside him.
"You...you you you..." The fat red-haired man pointed at Shen Xingchen tremblingly and said, as if he just recognized him.
"Hey, the seven sons of Huai Ling?" Shen Xingchen raised the left corner of his mouth, "Why, this name...is it still hereditary? Has it been changed?!"
"Brother, why are you pulling me?" The green hair impatiently waved away the fat man's hand holding his arm, and said to Shen Xingchen, "Since you know us, you should know, who did you offend today?!"
"He, he, he..." The fat man with red hair grabbed the green hair again, his eyes filled with horror.
"Haha..." Shen Xingchen smiled contemptuously, "Since you recognized me, you should know who is messing with you today."
"Brother, go take medicine if you are sick." Lumao shook off his hand again, without a chance to explain to the fat man, "A little chicken, are you afraid that he will do something stupid?!" Shen Xingchen walked over.
Shen Xingchen protects the child in his arms completely in his body. In fact, he has no confidence. He doesn't know if the person who has been protecting him is still there. The only thing that can fight back is the spray in his pocket. At this time, both hands are protected. Looking at that child, there may not be a chance to take it out.Seeing the green hair approaching, he closed his eyes, thinking quickly in his mind how to pull the child in his arms to break through which gap, and subconsciously shouted: "Brother Xi, help."
In an instant, Lu Mao fell to the ground...
"Ah—" the fat man with red hair screamed and ran away, as if he had encountered the shadow of his life.
"Master, don't be afraid, I'm here." A boy's warm voice came from not far away, that voice was familiar and special, and one could recognize it immediately.
Shen Xingchen smiled...it turns out that he has been here...he didn't leave...
The remaining five people stayed where they were, with the green hair lying in front of them, and the boss ran away. They... should they run?
"Why are you still standing there?" Shen Xingchen straightened his back, "Do you want to die too?"
"Boom—" The people in front of me scattered like birds and beasts...
Shen Xingchen froze for a moment, and his eyes became quiet again.
"Brother Xi..." Shen Xingchen called out again, but this time, there was no response at all, only the child in his arms was still looking at him stupidly.
He...Let's go again... Shen Xingchen lowered his head and thought, the expression of surprise dimmed.He said to the child in his arms, "Are you also from the orphanage?"
The child nodded, tightly clutching the corner of Shen Xingchen's clothes.
"Me too, let's go home." As he said that, he pulled the hem of the clothes out of the child's hand, took the child's hand, and turned into a small path on the right.
Seeing Shen Xingchen's figure disappear, the man jumped down again, and was about to pull out the needle on Lumao's neck, when suddenly Shen Xingchen jumped out with the child, just in time to see him squatting beside Lumao.
He saw Shen Xingchen, then looked at the child, was stunned for a moment, pulled out the needle suddenly, and ran away in an instant.
"Tomorrow is my birthday, can you come and eat a piece of cake?" Shen Xingchen shouted towards his figure going away, but there was no response.
The child in his hand had been staring at the person next to Lumao just now, and after seeing him disappear, he looked up at Shen Xingchen again, with a hint of charm in the corners of his long eyes.Shen Xingchen patted the child's head, and then took a closer look at the child's appearance, it turned out to be very white and cute - what a beautiful child, why didn't the family want him? !
"Go home!" Shen Xingchen led the child and walked towards the compound, but it was a straight road and did not turn into the path just now.
New Year's Day...Shen Xingchen's 11th birthday.
Zhou Ting cooked a table of dishes, and ordered another bowl of small wontons.
Shen Xingchen sat at the table and ate happily. What was different from previous years was that there was a child sitting beside him, the one he brought back yesterday.Since meeting Shen Xingchen yesterday, that child has followed him every step of the way without saying a word.Shen Xingchen himself didn't like taking children to play, and tried to drive him away, coax him away, or scare him away several times, but he just wouldn't leave.Sometimes Shen Xingchen pretended to be angry and yelled at him, but he just ran away with his head down, and appeared in Shen Xingchen's sight again within 2 minutes.
Shen Xingchen had no choice but to acquiesce that he stayed by his side. This child hadn't been here for a long time, and Shen Xingchen was not familiar with him at all, and he was not interested in playing with him. Fortunately, he was not annoying, and he was usually by his side. Playing with me, I just don't like letting Shen Xingchen out of my sight.
Shen Xingchen ate happily. From time to time, he picked up a little bit with his chopsticks and fed it to the child around him, and the child returned him with a bright smile.After eating, Shen Xingchen sat in the yard basking in the sun, that child also ran over, took a small bench, sat beside him, rested his chin, and looked at him with a smile.Shen Xingchen didn't look back, reached out and touched his head, smiling.
"Xiao Shen," the doorman, Uncle Li, came over, holding a box in his hand, "There was a boy outside the door just now, let me give this to you, saying yes...Happy birthday to you."
Shen Xingchen jumped up suddenly, startling the children beside him.He rushed out of the gate, looking for something everywhere, but there was no shadow around.
Shen Xingchen walked back with his head down helplessly, and took the box from Uncle Li's hand: "Did he say anything else?"
"It's gone, and then I left." Uncle Li looked at him worriedly, "That kid looks quite big, he doesn't look like your classmate. Xiao Shen, don't meet some messy people outside. "
"I see, thank you, Grandpa Li." Shen Xingchen took the box back to the place where he was sitting just now, held the box, lowered his head and remained motionless.After a while, he opened the box and found a small Captain America's shield in the box. The workmanship was very delicate, and he knew it was expensive at first glance.The point is that at that time, such things were not easy to see on the market.
"He knows that I like Captain America?" Shen Xingchen was secretly happy.
Ever since he was 3 years old and accidentally saw a comic from a returnee neighbor's house, Shen Xingchen fell in love with this character who counterattacked the super god. He often held the pot lid at home, and the cos team ran around the house, saying that he would Alien monsters are driven out of the earth. On his 4th birthday, his father gave him a Captain America keychain made by himself, which made him very happy. Since that day, that keychain has never left his body.
He closed the little box and held it tightly in his hand...
"Brother Fourteen," the child beside him suddenly called him, "What is this?"
Shen Xingchen turned his head in surprise: "Oh, you can talk?!"
"Yeah." The child nodded heavily.
Shen Xingchen was in a very good mood, so he started to tease him...
"What's your name?"
"My name is Lin Wangyan."
"Forget the words?" Shen Xingchen raised his eyebrows, "Your parents want you to be dumb? No wonder you are so quiet."
"My...Parents..." The child lowered his head, tears began to roll in his eyes, "They never liked me, and finally threw me away..."
Shen Xingchen suddenly felt guilty, felt that he had said the wrong thing, and thought about how to coax this child, but he has always only coaxed girls, and has no experience in coaxing boys. "Should the routines be similar?!" He thought.
So, Shen Xingchen took the child into his arms, patted his head, patted his back, and whispered in his ear: "It's okay, I'm still by your side, I will always be with you, no I will let anyone bully you again." Saying that, she let go of him, grabbed his hand and put it on her lips for a kiss.
The child shook his tear-stained long eyelashes and looked at Shen Xingchen.
"Since they don't want you anymore, you don't want them either. Follow me from now on, and I'll take care of you." Shen Xingchen said, thinking that he had been left here for several years, and there was a resentment in his heart, "Don't call this dumb The name is gone, how about I change it for you?"
The boy stayed there, after a while, and nodded.
"People say 'Feng Qitong, Long Linyuan', I believe you will be a man of indomitable spirit in the future, otherwise, your name will be Lin Yuan, okay?"
It's strange to say that this welfare home, starting from the dean, everyone likes to name others...
"Brother Fourteen just say yes!" The boy smiled, his eyes were crooked, and he looked very pretty.
"Okay - from today onwards, you will be called A Yuan!" Shen Xingchen smiled, stood up, hugged him and shook him twice, making the little boy laugh out loud.
Lin Yuan seemed to be very clingy, as long as Shen Xingchen didn't go to school, he would follow Shen Xingchen in the yard, watching what Shen Xingchen was doing.Shen Xingchen was reading a book, and he was reading it with the book; Shen Xingchen was watching TV dramas, and he was sitting beside him; Clap your hands when you're done.
"Little kid, do you understand?" Shen Xingchen patted his head with a smile.
"It's fine as long as it sounds good." Lin Yuan said seriously.
……
"Brother Fourteen, will I...will I die?" Lin Yuan has been in poor health since he was a child, and it may be because of this that he was abandoned by his family.After a cold and high fever, complications were caused and he was admitted to the intensive care unit.
"Are you stupid?" Shen Xingchen touched Lin Yuan's face lying on the hospital bed, "I am several years older than you, so if I die, I will die first."
"I won't let you die...but I feel...so uncomfortable." Lin Yuan coughed a few times.
"You're just sick, you'll be fine after taking the medicine." After taking this child for a long time, Shen Xingchen also became more patient. He always felt that this child was so weak, as if a gust of wind could take him away .
"Brother Fourteen, you said you would take care of me forever, is that true?" Lin Yuan blinked.
"Of course, I'm alone too. From now on, I'll take you with me wherever I go."
"Really?"
"real."
"Pull Gogou..."
"..." Despite his reluctance, Shen Xingchen stretched out his hand and hooked Lin Yuan's little finger, looking at the delicate child on the hospital bed with a smile like a flower.
"My brother will tell you a story." Shen Xingchen suddenly thought of something to encourage him, "A long time ago, the whole world was at war. In the United States, there was a little boy who wanted to join the army. But he was too weak, The physical condition is very poor, and many of them are not up to standard..."
Shen Xingchen told Lin Yuan the story of Captain America, and he hoped that Lin Yuan could also muster up his courage and cheer up.But he didn't know that as long as he was by his side, the child in front of him would have infinite courage.
"Did he really become a great hero?" Lin Yuan seemed attracted by the story.
"Of course!" Shen Xingchen said, and took out the key chain that he had been carrying with him for so many years, "Look, how brave you are."
Lin Yuan took the keychain and touched it lightly, as if he liked it very much.When he touched the notch on the shield, he rubbed his fingertips several times. It was two small crooked characters—fourteen.At first glance, it was carved by Shen Xingchen himself before.
"Do you like it?" Shen Xingchen looked at Lin Yuan who couldn't put it down.
"En." Lin Yuan reluctantly handed it to Shen Xingchen again, but he still had an extremely nostalgic look on his face.
"If you like it, I will give it to you." Shen Xingchen put the keychain in Lin Yuan's palm and held his hand, "Keep it well, there is only one in the world, if you lose it, there will be no more."
Lin Yuan seemed to understand the hidden meaning in his words, but what Shen Xingchen said was completely literal, because it was made by his father himself, isn't it the only one in the world.
A week later, Lin Yuan was successfully transferred to the general ward...
Shen Xingchen asked for leave and has been taking care of Lin Yuan in the hospital. Zhou Ting also took care of the children in the hospital and came to deliver meals every day.The doctors and nurses couldn't bear to look at it. A ten-year-old child was taking care of a few-year-old child without sleep, thinking in his heart-these two brothers have such a good relationship, brother and friend are respectful, and the elder brother is so sensible. Mom is so happy.Therefore, every time Zhou Ting came to the hospital, the doctors and nurses would look enviously, and from time to time they would gather around and ask questions.Zhou Ting was very confused, why no matter where she went, there were people around her, and she was not a celebrity.
But in fact, Shen Xingchen didn't have anything special about this child. He just knew that Zhou Ting's financial conditions were limited, she couldn't afford to hire a nurse, and the other children couldn't be counted on. She had a large yard of children to take care of. I can only rely on him.So for Zhou Ting, he could only do his best to take care of Lin Yuan, hoping that he would get better as soon as possible, so that Zhou Ting could worry less and go to class by himself.Of course, there is another layer—this child is indeed pitiful. Although Shen Xingchen is polite and cold to strangers, he still has the heart of a saint, so he has been working hard to train himself to be a cold-blooded killer, "soft-hearted." It will be fatal!" He often reminded himself, but he still couldn't help it when something happened.
He didn't know that his inadvertence and even helplessness in the past two or three years seemed to Lin Yuan to be a deep love. It had already been planted in his heart like a seed, took root and sprouted, and could never be pulled out for the rest of his life... …
In the three years of junior high school, Shen Xingchen spent his time in the school with great glory. Unlike elementary school, Huai Ling Middle School has always been regarded as a second-rate school. Suddenly there is such a fantastic student as Shen Xingchen, and the principal treats him as a student. As an elated hope.Shen Xingchen, who is delicate and frail and doesn't like sports, doesn't even take physical education classes. He doesn't believe in the tricks of the physical education teacher that "if he fails the physical examination, he will not be admitted to high school". If there is a choice between the two options of "punishing the physical education teacher to think behind closed doors for a month", the principal will definitely choose the latter without hesitation.
How much the teachers of various subjects doted on Shen Xingchen——One time in a math class, a classmate in the back row kept kicking his stool legs. When I was two, I rushed to that person, grabbed his schoolbag, threw it out from the window on the third floor, and said, "Go get treatment for ADHD, and come back to class when you get better." He went straight back to his seat and sat down.
The whole class was dumbfounded...
The math teacher said to the classmate: "Go, pick up the schoolbag. If you don't mess with him, why would he throw things at you? Be honest in class."
The whole class was even more dumbfounded...
However, there are unpredictable things in the sky, God still has eyes, seeing Shen Xingchen being so arrogant, the solar particle storm is very uncomfortable.So, the high school entrance examination...Shen Xingchen suffered a tragic defeat in Waterloo...
Shen Xingchen, whose heart is higher than the sky and whose fate is thinner than paper, relied on his good grades to apply for the best middle school in Yunchuan——Yunchuan No. [-] Middle School.As a result, the results of the senior high school entrance examination came out, and he was stunned to find that his score was... one point worse.It stands to reason that Shen Xingchen's test scores are already very good, even if he can't get into Yunchuan No. [-] Middle School, he can still go to other key middle schools.However, Shen Xingchen, who was like the proud son of heaven in [-], couldn't accept this point of passing Yunchuan No. [-] Middle School.
Shen Xingchen locked himself in the room after checking the score.Zhou Ting knocked on the door and he refused to open it, and Lin Yuan called the door and he refused to open it.
Shen Xingchen lay on the bed until the afternoon, feeling thirsty, so he got out of bed to drink a glass of water, and suddenly saw a face stuck on the window, and almost spit out water in fright.Taking a closer look, it turned out that Lin Yuan was lying on the window and watching him the whole time.
"Get out!" Shen Xingchen roared, through the window glass, Lin Yuan didn't hear what he was shouting, but judging from the shape of his mouth, he could tell that he was telling him to get out.
Lin Yuan curled his lips and shook his head, expressing that he was very worried about him.
Shen Xingchen sighed, waved to Lin Yuan, turned around and opened the door.
"Brother Fourteen—" Lin Yuan stood at the door.
"Are you sick?! Lying on the window is scary."
"I..." Lin Yuan was speechless for a while.
"I'm fine... I'm sleepy... Go back to sleep." After speaking, he was about to close the door, but was stopped by a pair of hands.
Shen Xingchen looked up and saw that it was Zhou Ting.
Seeing Zhou Ting, Shen Xingchen lowered his head, went back to the bed and sat down quietly, which was a tacit consent to let them in.
Zhou Ting asked Lin Yuan to go back to her room, saying that she had something to say to Brother Fourteen.Lin Yuan stretched out his head to look at Shen Xingchen, feeling a little bit reluctant, but left anyway.
Zhou Ting sat on the stool opposite Shen Xingchen, looked at him, and waited for him to speak.
After a while, Shen Xingchen raised his head...
"Aunt Zhou, I'm so useless, so my parents aren't on a business trip at all, right? They just don't want me, right?"
Zhou Ting knew that sooner or later Shen Xingchen would ask her about her parents. After all, he hadn't seen his biological parents for more than 7 years, and the lie about his parents going on a business trip must have been hidden.For so many years, he didn't ask, or even said nothing, and kept all the questions in his heart, not because he didn't care, but maybe because he didn't want to hear Zhou Ting make up lies to deceive him.
"Don't lie to me. I've grown up. I don't care if they want me or not. I just want to hear the truth." Shen Xingchen stared at Zhou Ting firmly, there was no sadness in his eyes, only indifference.
Looking at Shen Xingchen's eyes, Zhou Ting suddenly felt sad and distressed again.She didn't know whether she should tell him the truth, but she really didn't want to lie to him, and she didn't want him to misunderstand her parents who loved him deeply. After all, they were also the people she loved deeply.
"A long time ago, I was thinking that one day you would tell me this sentence..." Zhou Ting sighed, "I should have told you a long time ago..."
Zhou Ting told Shen Xingchen everything about the past between herself and the Shen family couple, and she didn't hide anything from him that she loved Shen Yu.Afterwards, he told him that he received a call from Shen Yu, and later picked him up at the gate of the compound late one night.She just concealed the information about the half-grown child who sent him here, she instinctively felt that Shen Yu didn't want him to know about the hidden guard beside him.
"Then what happened to them afterwards? Dead or alive?" Shen Xingchen's eyes were finally no longer indifferent, but a trace of anxiety rose.
"I don't know. Later, I went to check it myself. There was no news at all. No one was alive... No dead body." Zhou Ting lowered her head and buried her face in her hands, her voice choked with sobs.
"How could this be?" Shen Xingchen frowned slightly, and suddenly recalled the situation that day in his mind, the sound of firecrackers outside the room, shouts, and his father said that if he won the hide-and-seek, he would eat braised pork...
It's not firecrackers, it's gunshots... It's not cheers, it's screams... No hide-and-seek, no braised pork, Dad just wants to hide himself and wait for rescue...
Who is going to kill their family?What did the parents do to provoke these desperadoes? ...Everything is a mystery, and I don't know anything, like a fool, I have lived happily and unscrupulously for the past seven or eight years, enjoying the love of everyone around me, and at the same time harboring a weak heart. resentment of being abandoned by parents,
"By the way," Zhou Ting thought of something, "the day you were sent here, there was still a file bag. Your parents left you a house, which seems to be not far from Huailing Middle School. You have grown up too, if You don't want to stay here anymore, you can move back."
