Don't run after school next door!

The sky is dim, the house seems to be hidden by heavy smoke, and the indoor atmosphere is suffocating.

Father Lin sat on the sofa with his legs crossed and his hands clasped together on his knees.Mother Lin stood beside the sofa, with a low ponytail and smooth forehead.She didn't change her slippers, and the high heels that were nearly ten centimeters made her look sharp and capable.

Lin Zan stood opposite them, clutching the strap of his schoolbag with his right hand, and asked hesitantly, "Why are you all back?"

Obviously, it's a good thing that both parents have gone home, but he realized that there was something strange, and the appearance of the two made him a little scared.

Father Lin opened his mouth first: "What have you been doing these days?"

Lin Zan was a little confused, why did his tone sound like he was asking a teacher for a crime, and he replied, "Go to school."

"Go to school?" Lin's father snorted inexplicably, "You have to run out to live alone, and you don't have the ability to take care of yourself. You play with those low-end things all day long, and you still say you are serious about school?"

Lin Zan frowned and corrected; "Miniatures and reciting are not unpopular."

"Doing inappropriate things at the inappropriate time is not in the mainstream." Lin's father did not give him a chance to continue explaining, and made a final decision.

Lin Zan said in confusion: "My academic performance has not been affected. Last time I took the entrance exam, I was all—"

"Baby, do you think being number one in the city is enough? Mom is so disappointed that you are so shallow." Mother Lin interrupted him, her eyes full of regret.

Like a sudden cold rain, Lin Zan was a little dazed by the coolness in her words.His mother actually described him as superficial?

Lin's mother looked at him and said, "Of course people must constantly pursue improvement. You just won the city's first place in a trivial way, and you are starting to be complacent?"

Lin Zan explained eagerly: "I'm not complacent. I just think that playing with miniature models won't affect my studies. I don't think it's great to be number one in the city, but I don't want to pursue number one in the country either." .”

"Why don't you dare to go after the number one in the country?" Father Lin asked sullenly, and a little angry, as if he looked down on a coward like him.

Lin Zan looked at his parents, opened his mouth, and suddenly felt a little powerless.

Mother Lin went on to say: "Mom and Dad work hard outside every day, working hard to make achievements in their careers, why don't you know how to strive for the top?"

She asked again: "You only know that we don't accompany you, why don't you draw energy from your parents and make progress?"

Lin Zan roared in his heart: Then why don't you care about what I want?Do I have to learn from you, can't I have what I want?

But he couldn't say a word, and he stood there sluggishly, defeated by the eyes of the two elders saying "you are so depraved", his body was extremely stiff.

Father Lin glanced at him from top to bottom, then looked away in annoyance, and shouted, "You even wore a fancy dress! You don't look like a student at all!"

Lin Zan looked down at himself, he was just wearing a school uniform and...

Hey, why is he dressed so strangely?

"Are you going to stand on the street if you dress like this?" "Do you want to stand on the street if you dress like this?" "Do you want to stand on the street if you dress like this?"...

These words fell into his ears like a magic voice, screaming sharply in his ears, over and over again, making Lin Zan's hair stand on end.

Boom!

There was a loud noise on the floor, and Lin Zan rolled straight to the ground.

wake up.

"Hey, are you okay?" Fang Xun's voice came from upstairs, and he leaned on the railing to look down.

Lin Zan was a little stunned by the fall, his elbow was knocked, and he felt a dull pain.He got up slowly, without making a sound.

It seemed that the plastic bag containing the fish and water was broken, and all the water flowed out. The fish was struggling to swing its body, almost unable to hold on.

Lin Zan's sadness had been brewing from the morning until now, and it didn't come out until he thought of that hateful sentence again in his dream.He found it hard to understand, why would parents say that to their children?

"It hurts from the fall?" Fang Xun had already stepped down, and his voice rang in his ears, slightly awakening Lin Zan's consciousness.

Lin Zan raised his face and asked him, "Why did Miao Wei's father say that to her? Aren't they blood-related father and daughter?"

Fang Xun was startled.

He saw that Lin Zan's eyes were full of puzzlement, and there was also a faint stubbornness.

"Miao Wei is her father's biological daughter."

"Then how could this happen?" Lin Zan's voice trembled slightly when he spoke, and he was asking a question, but he clearly knew the facts, and he was just trying to deny such facts in vain.

His eyes were full of strong emotions, and Fang Xun couldn't bear it: "People cannot avoid impulsiveness."

"It's not impulsive." Lin Zan shook his head, his emotions had accumulated to a certain level, he suddenly roared, "How can parents say such things to their children!"

He blushed with excitement, and looked at Fang Xun, but did not get approval from his eyes.Lin Zan's heart was shocked, and he became extremely flustered in an instant.

They all heard it, heard Miao Wei's almost trembling voice, and saw her expression holding back tears.Lin Zan couldn't deny that the parents said that to their own child.

It's not that he thought it shouldn't be like this, things really wouldn't develop like this.

Fang Xun looked at him calmly, without speaking.

Lin Zan's tense body relaxed little by little, and he lowered his head a little decadently.Not only for Miao Wei, he thinks more about himself and his dream home.

"That is to say, being a parent doesn't necessarily mean loving one's own children. It may be a lie to be deeply affectionate." He said to himself, unconsciously grabbing the sofa cover with his fingers, "Mom and Dad may Abandoning a child suddenly."

"In the countryside, there were parents who gave away their children." Once the gate was opened, many things came in like a torrent, forcing him to face up to those things that he had deliberately ignored.

Lin Zan felt more and more panicked, as if he was standing in a dark tunnel with a faint light in front of him. He could go all the way, but he couldn't predict whether he would walk out of here or be caught by a speeding train. Knocked to death.

"Even if there is true love at first, people will change." His hand was tightly wrapped around a corner of the sofa cover, and his fingers were getting harder and harder, "That is to say——"

"So what?" Fang Xun gently interrupted him.

"Are you going to cry?" he asked.

Lin Zan froze.He suddenly realized that he was trembling non-stop, his body trembling visibly to the naked eye.

His eyes were moist, but he wasn't about to cry.He took a deep breath, sat up, and said, "No."

Fang Xun smiled and said, "It's best not to. I don't know how to coax people."

"I don't want you to coax me. My mother—" He stopped in the middle of speaking, and he couldn't continue, feeling panicked.

There was a sudden weight and warmth on the head.Fang Xun stroked his hair.

"Really don't cry." Fang Xun said softly, "That's not necessary."

My heart seemed to be bumped, some emotions were suddenly scattered, and something else was added.Lin Zan looked at Fang Xun, his eyes were a little red, looking naive: "What do you mean it's not necessary?"

Fang Xun said: "You are an adult, you are no longer a weak and pitiful human cub."

Lin Zan retorted unconvinced: "Is it only cubs who can cry? When a person grows up, he has no right to be sad, so he can't yearn for a family?"

He desires, he wants, he just wants!

"I just think," Fang Xun said, "adulthood is like a sign. I can pursue my own life, my own family. What I want, I rely on myself to get it. Because expecting others will never It can't be as easy as expecting yourself."

He said this in a very ordinary tone, as if he had told himself so many times.Lin Zan's heart was stung by this tone suddenly, he couldn't lose his temper anymore, he just quietly moved his eyes to the soft plush carpet.

After a while, he smiled slightly: "It's true, a correct and sad theory."

Fang Xun said to him, "If you really want to cry, you can cry. I'll pretend I didn't witness your birthday celebration."

Lin Zan wanted to answer his joke, but his voice was still very soft and weak: "I said I didn't want to cry."

"Then are you still sleeping?" Fang Xun asked patiently.

Lin Zan was very angry at the thought of this, if it wasn't because he had a dream while sleeping, he probably wouldn't be so annoyed.Although it was very unreasonable, he still said angrily: "I had a nightmare, damn it, I can't sleep."

He was so angry that he uttered all the dirty words.

Fang Xun thought for a while, and asked in a good-tempered manner like coaxing a child, "How about the number of stars?"

The attic has a good view, you can see the stars twinkling in the sky when you open the window.It was already two o'clock in the morning, the lights were turned off everywhere, and the world was very quiet.Sitting cross-legged on the bed, they counted the stars in the distant sky together.

One, two, three, four...

Lin Zan fell asleep after counting, completely contradicting what he said just now that he couldn't fall asleep.His sleeping appearance was similar to what Fang Xun had imagined, very well-behaved.

Fang Xun helped him cover the quilt.

As the night got darker, he looked at the stars in the sky again.

In fact, he lied, he is very good at deceiving people.It's just that the word coaxing itself has a bit of deceptive color.Some people don't need to be coaxed.

They are only seventeen or eighteen years old, they can say whatever they want, and the world allows them to let their thoughts roam the sky willfully.

If they really want to reason and get to the bottom of it, they may find that many things are completely opposite to what they first realized.What you get from textbooks and poems is by no means the truth of life.Love or hate, in fact, there is no reason at all.

Originally, Fang Xun himself was also confused, but facing Lin Zan, the words in his heart jumped out inexplicably.Looking forward to the future, looking forward to yourself, is an incomparable sense of fulfillment.

A little starlight fell on the window sill.

The night wind was blowing gently, and the branches outside were shaking in the starlight.Lin Zan pulled the quilt again, turned over, threw away the pillow, and pressed his face against the soft quilt.

Fang Xun gently half-closed the window, lay down and fell asleep.

The next day Lin Zan caught a cold, he didn't sleep well, his eyes were a little dark, and he sat up listlessly.Fang Xun watched him lie on the bed in a daze for a full minute, then raised his foot and kicked the quilt to the ground, and was in a daze for another ten seconds.

"Are you awake?" Fang Xun looked at him, "Is kicking the quilt an unconscious behavior during sleep, or a morning habit?"

Lin Zan said in a low voice: "If I don't kick it away, I want to bury the quilt again and continue to sleep. This is a desperate move to prevent myself from staying in bed."

Fang Xun asked: "Then you are still lying on the bed?"

"Ah." Lin Zan fell down on the bed sadly, "I don't think about it."

He rolled himself into a ball, his legs curled up, his knees to his chin, and he tried to avoid getting out of bed.

Click!

"What are you doing?" Lin Zan jumped up when he heard the sound of the camera, rushing to grab his phone, "If you can't take pictures, you can't take pictures."

It can be seen that this person pays great attention to his image, wears perfume all the time, and firmly cannot tolerate the existence of ugly photos of himself.Fang Xun smiled quietly.

Lin Zan returned the phone to him after deleting the photos. At this moment, he felt embarrassed, scratched his hair and said, "Go wash up first, I've changed my clothes, and I won't be snoozing."

Fang Xun took the phone, turned on the camera and turned off the shutter sound. "I've already washed up, let's go first. I have to go home and change my clothes."

"Oh, good." Lin Zan suddenly felt a little strange, why they had to say goodbye just after waking up, and why didn't they belong to the same school.

Fang Xun walked down the stairs and went outside.Lin Zan walked slowly to the railing, watching his back.A strange sense of emptiness climbed into his heart, and he still had the desire to say something.

Everything from last night reappeared in his mind, and he felt a little warm and slightly sentimental.Although they did not reach a consensus, Fang Xun's words, he thought he would remember them for a long time.

Fang Xun suddenly stopped again, turned to him and said, "Remember to take some cold medicine."

Lin Zan nodded.

Fang Xun glanced at him and continued walking.

"Fang Xun!"

Like a ghost, Lin Zan called out behind him.

"What's wrong?" Fang Xun stopped again.

The cool breeze in the morning woke up the world that had slept all night. Wearing a loose white shirt, he stood in the center of the living room, looking back at Lin Zan upstairs.There was no emotion/color in those eyes, they just looked back at him purely and cleanly.

Suddenly, Lin Zan forgot all the complex and multi-meaning phrases.

"Good morning." He smiled and rolled his eyes.
