This year's Spring Festival is very cold, not only the weather, but also the home.

Song Lan celebrated the New Year alone for the first time.

On New Year's Eve, he had a New Year's Eve dinner at Shi Qing's house. At that time, the table was full of people, and he didn't feel anything special. When he got home and closed the door, the deserted room and people suddenly made him feel that Extraordinarily delicate feelings welled up.

In the past five years, although Brother Dafei was not around, he was accompanied by A Niang.Every time the Spring Festival comes, the aunt's family will find an excuse to come to him to see A Niang. At that time, even if everyone feels uncomfortable, they are still popular around the table.

This year, A Niang left, and the aunt's family cut off contact with him again, and he was the only one left.A person shouted to the room that didn't even hear an answer, but loneliness and loneliness still lingered.

In the city of Shanghai, every year when the Spring Festival comes, the population can be reduced by one-third, and the old city is the most obvious.

Except for the elderly who don't like to move, most of the people who still live here in recent years are not locals.Those owners who are a little bit capable or have money have already moved out to live in public housing and commercial housing. The houses here are basically rented out to migrant workers.

That's right, even going to the bathroom is troublesome in this place, who would want to stay here and suffer.

People walk a lot, and the whole area is very quiet, and you can usually hear the corner of the neighbor's house, but now there is no sound, only the old-fashioned clockwork clock on the chest of drawers at home announces "tick tock" passing of the times.

Song Lan was really bored, so he simply turned on the TV that had not been turned on all year round and started watching it. He randomly dialed a station, and it happened to be the CCTV Spring Festival Gala, and the lively singing and dancing sound rushed into his ears instantly.

I watched it intentionally or unintentionally, but suddenly thought of Brother Xun.

Brother Xun left Shanghai after dinner last time, saying he was going back to his hometown.

[Brother Xun, I wish you a happy new year. 】

Song Lan sent him a message on WeChat, and the other party came back after a while.

[Thank you, I wish you happiness too. 】

After a while, another message was sent,

【Are you home alone?in Shanghai? 】

Song Lan took a look and started chatting with Brother Xun,

【Yes, alone. 】

[Not leaving relatives? 】

[No relatives. 】

[I'm back on the fifth day of the lunar new year, and I'll have dinner with you when I get back. 】

【Yeah!This time I will burn it, but you were busy last time. 】

Brother Xun smiled back, and then sent a red envelope to Song Lan. Song Lan opened it at one click, and it contained the number 188, which is a good fortune!He immediately replied to Brother Xun, but Brother Xun confiscated it, and only sent him another note under the red envelope,

[Don't give me the red envelope!Since you called me elder brother and wished me new year greetings, I, as an elder brother, have to give you a red envelope to celebrate the new year.Think about what I mentioned to you last time, and tell me your decision when I come back. 】

What Brother Xun was talking about was the last time he mentioned that he should pay the fine to Brother Dafei first.That time Song Lan didn't immediately respond. Although he was grateful to Brother Xun from the bottom of his heart, in fact he had a lot of concerns.

After taking that money, although Brother Dafei can fill in the vacancy first, but after all, he has to pay it back.He has a heavy burden in his heart, because he has encountered too many things in the world and suffered too much indifference in the world since he was a child. He has developed the habit of not loving to owe favors to others. Between the payoffs he was more used to the latter.

But he didn't tell Brother Xun that he was studying for a self-examination diploma, which is basically impossible to find more than what he got in Yumahui when he went out to find a job.

I only get a salary of a few thousand yuan a month. In addition to taking care of Brother Dafei who has just been released from prison, I have to pay back the debt.

But this had to be said to brother Xun face to face, Song Lan could feel at ease only after thanking him for his kindness.

After sending [um], brother Xun Xun didn't reply to the message again, and the topic was put on hold like this.

From the first to the third day of junior high school, Shi Qing had to visit relatives with his parents, and Song Lan stayed at home alone for three days.

In the early morning of the fourth day, he went to the big market to buy vegetables, and when passing by the south gate, he met Wu Di, who used to take care of Shi Qing's drip for him.

Wu Di was squatting in the corner to feed the dog. He was still the same as before, a pair of jeans and a big coat, but he was clean, and his skin was so good that it looked like it was powdered in the winter sun.

Seeing Song Lan standing in the distance, he stood up, patted the crumbs on his hands and ran over, "Brother Lan."

He yelled, but his voice was still quiet when facing Song Lan, and he looked a little shy.

Song Lan looked at him, then looked around, and asked him, "Do you live here?"

He nodded and pointed to the row of private houses behind the market, "There."

Song Lan suddenly remembered what Shi Qing had told him before, that the child was a person just like herself, so she couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"You live by yourself?"

Wu Di was very obedient, nodded, then suddenly raised his head to look at Song Lan, and said after a while: "My parents have passed away, and my relatives are far away. I am alone now."

"..."

On the afternoon of the fifth day, Brother Xun drove to Dongjiadu.Song Lan went to pick him up at the entrance of the alley, and when he received him, he prepared to take him home. Brother Xun took two jars of wine from the rear compartment before closing the car door.

"You won't be able to drive at night after drinking alcohol." Song Lan took an altar for him and reminded him as she walked.

"Don't you live alone? If I drink too much, I won't leave today. I'll sleep at your house overnight." Brother Xun replied casually, and asked with a smile after a while: "Isn't it inconvenient?"

It's rare for Brother Xun to smile very openly. He usually has a straight face and a cold look at the Royal Horse Club. The serious and cold-faced Yulong is his nickname.

Song Lan hadn't reacted before, but she didn't realize it until she saw the narrow eyes cast by him, and raised her voice and shouted, "Fuck, what! I'm really the only one!"

"I'll let you get used to staying in my house. You can stay as many nights as you like."

Seeing that Brother Xun was still smiling, he became anxious, "There really is no one else! I don't have a girlfriend...so...it's very convenient!"

"I know, Yumahui's top brand Nendou, Qingbao who hasn't been in love yet."

Brother Xun laughed even wider, and simply hahahaha several times.

Song Lan thought that he was Brother Xun, and although she wanted to save face, she couldn't get angry with him, so she cursed "fuck" and put the matter aside.

The two turned a few street corners before reaching Song Lan's house. As soon as they entered the door, a male voice rang out, "Are you back?"

Song Lan put the wine jar in the kitchen and greeted the people in the back room, "Wu Di, come out quickly and say hello to Brother Xun."

Brother Xun, who was walking behind, was taken aback for a moment, and the wine in his hand was taken away by Song Lan before he could recover.As soon as Song Lan walked away, a handsome young man popped out in front of him, and when he saw him, he called weakly, "Brother Xun, hello!"

Brother Xun glanced at him, nodded at him, and then quickly followed Song Lan into the kitchen.

"Didn't you say you were the only one?" Brother Xun asked in a low voice.

Because of his special occupation, Brother Xun usually doesn't deal with people outside the circle very much.In fact, this is a kind of mental illness. I always feel that after people know the work I am engaged in, others will look at me with various strange eyes.This is the heart that most male ducks can't get past, and it is also the bottom line they hide deep in their hearts.They also have a strong desire to be normalized as a human being.

Of course Song Lan also knew this, and explained to him, "Wu Di is not an outsider, he is my brother's younger brother who works as a handyman in a nightclub." "Don't worry, he doesn't talk much, and he doesn't know how to gossip."

Seeing brother Xun standing at the door silently, he leaned over and whispered, "He is worse than me. At least my father is still alive. His parents are all dead. He is the only one left in this world. I think he is pitiful. Picked him up at the market."

Brother Xun looked up at Song Lan, unexpectedly he was quite caring, and then turned to look at Wu Di who was laying the table and chopsticks in the back room, without showing any repulsive expression.

The meal was quite cheerful, the three men all drank, Wu Di was the most shy, and only sipped azoles from the side.After all, Song Lan and Brother Xun were familiar with each other, so they clinked glasses several times in a row.

After drinking a jar of wine, another jar was opened, and the food on the table was not much moved. Brother Xun began to ask about the matter Song Lan was considering.

Song Lan drank the cup in front of her in one gulp, bowed her head in silence for a few seconds before saying to the two people on the table,

"I've thought about it, but I still can't take the money."

"Brother Xun, don't mind, I, Song Lan, are very grateful to you. In fact, we have only known each other not long ago, but you are willing to lend me so much money. I am really grateful."

"But I took it. After Brother Dafei came out early, I still have to bear a lot of pressure. I thought about it. Although this road is difficult, it is the only one I can walk faster at present."

"Do you think I'm confused? I don't know what to do?"

"Actually, I think very clearly. I earn my own money in this business. I don't steal or rob. I have nothing to look down on myself! Really, I have figured it out."

"Brother Xun, do you know? I regard you as my idol. I want...to be the top player in this industry just like you."

Song Lan's meaning couldn't be more clear, he just wanted to continue to be the young master in Yumahui. Although Brother Xun felt sorry for him, he really didn't have any position to change his mind.

However, he had the illusion that he saw his former self in him.The kind of people who think that they have a sudden mentality and feel that they are fully prepared, but they don't know that there is a road leading to the abyss ahead.

At that time, he was alone on that road, lonely and helpless.

He thought that Song Lan might be better off than himself, because he still had himself, and since he decided to take this path, he would accompany him to the end, and use himself to protect him from harm as much as possible.

The room was quiet for a while, and then Brother Xun picked up the wine glass, "Since you have made up your mind, I won't say more, you will follow me from now on."
