A long-awaited reunion story

It was past ten o'clock when Yang Yi returned to the community, and there was no one in the community at this time, and the dancing uncles and aunts had already finished work.

Yang Yi walked downstairs of his house, and suddenly heard someone talking next to him, and the voice was still familiar.

He stopped.

The speaker was not far from him, and Yang Yi could hear their voices without moving. The speaker was You Xuan and Lao You.

Lao You's voice is still greasy, even if you can't see his expression, you will feel that he has malicious intentions, "Xiao Xuan, you have been promising in the past few years. In the past, you and your mother couldn't have a meal. I gave you money when you were young. Money...do you remember?"

You Xuan's tone didn't change from usual, and he couldn't hear any emotion or anger, "Remember, you won a card game at your aunt's house and asked me to buy cigarettes and gave you a hundred errand fees."

Lao You chuckled: "That's money, too."

You Xuan didn't deny it: "Yes."

Old oil: "I said before that you have a good face, Fuda, I heard that your aunt died a few years ago, she had no children, so I left all the money to you."

This time You Xuan paused for a while before speaking again, with a slight smile in his voice, "So what?"

Lao You didn't notice You Xuan's emotional changes, and climbed up the stick like a snake, "We are all relatives, so it's not justified for you to make a fortune. You can’t get it all, and you, a brat, will swallow it all.”

After a while, Lao You said, "That's all? Not even [-], who are you fooling?"

You Xuan said: "This little money is also based on the money you gave me before. If there is too much money, if you want it or not, get out as soon as you get the money, and you will be responsible for the consequences if you come to me again."

Hearing the movement from their side, it seemed that they were about to come out, so Yang Yi hurried into the building, just in time for the elevator to stop on the first floor, so he hurried on the elevator to go home.

In the short corridor from the elevator to the door of the house, Yang Yi walked calmly, with no expression on his face, until the moment he opened the door, his heart beat faster, his limbs were weak and unable to support his own weight, and he leaned against the door. sit down.

After breathing hard several times, Yang Yi suppressed the rapid heartbeat, slowly climbed up while supporting the wall, found a change of clothes, and went to the bathroom to take a shower.

Not long after, You Xuan also came back, dressed in sports attire, it seemed that he had gone for a night run.Still with a hearty smile, he asked Yang Yi how he is today like a spring breeze.

Yang Yi was blowing his hair, and when he heard this, his back trembled unconsciously.

In fact, there was nothing unusual about the conversation between You Xuan and Lao You just now, and You Xuan was also innocent, having been stalked by an old gangster like Lao You to ask for money.

Yang Yi adjusted his emotions, briefly talked about today's experience, and said that he won the first round of the basketball game, and everyone went to sing while they were in high spirits.

"Have you used the skills I taught you? How many goals have you scored?" You Xuan asked.

"When I was on the court, I forgot all about it. My colleague scored the goal, so I just ran along..."

They chatted a few words casually, Yang Yi packed up his things and gave the bathroom to You Xuan to take a bath.

·

The next day, the Civil Court faced the Shangdi Court, which happened to be the court room where Yang Yi's former roommate Xiao Xiaochen lived.

Xiao Xiaochen likes sports, so he naturally wants to play. He was a little surprised when he saw Yang Yi: "Yang Yi, you can also play?"

Yang Yi: "I'm not very good at it, I'm just here to help."

Xiao Xiaochen: "...I just said I never saw you fight."

Xiao Xiaochen felt that he was too hasty in quitting the rent, at least he should ask Yang Yi if such a thing really happened.But thinking about it, it's not easy to say it out, just saw it today, gritted my teeth and opened my mouth.

"Yang Yi, I actually quit the lease..." Xiao Xiaochen tried his best to organize his words.

"Huh?" Yang Yi was puzzled.

"Actually, when I quit the lease, I heard Lao You say that your mother was at home... and so on. I was a little scared, and I happened to be able to apply for a dormitory, so I..."

Xiao Xiaochen was stuttering, but Yang Yi still understood - Xiao Xiaochen thought that Yang Yi's mother committed suicide at home, so she moved away.

If it is not necessary, Yang Yi is very reluctant to discuss his parents' affairs with others, especially the cause of their death.At the beginning, all kinds of rumors spread in the community and in the school, and they changed several times.

Some said that Yang Yi's father was involved in gangs and was beaten to death, and some said that his mother had a bad relationship with her mother-in-law and deliberately committed suicide in front of Yang Yi... At that time, the people around looked at Yang Yi with deep sympathy and disgust.

But what is the truth?In fact, his father had a quarrel with a stranger outside, and he was hit in the back of the head with a stick and died.His mother committed suicide by jumping into the river. Yang Yi didn't witness all of this. It was after the body was picked up that he was notified to identify the body, and Yang Yi knew what happened.

The pain at that time is difficult to describe accurately now, Yang Yi is a little self-deceiving and unwilling to recall, but now he was caught off guard by Xiao Xiaochen, and his flesh and blood were torn off by Xiao Xiaochen. .

I didn't expect that after so many years, there are still neighbors who are gossips. They talked freely, and they didn't think about whether the soul of the deceased could rest in peace.

"We didn't sign a contract or leave a deposit in the first place. You can move anytime you want, and you don't need to explain to me." Yang Yi took a deep breath and tried his best to calm himself down, but after saying this, there was nothing to say. It happened that He Yunjian was calling for people to gather, and Yang Yi passed by.

Xiao Xiaochen was dumbfounded.

Yang Yi has always given him the impression that he is an "honest person", who will not get angry or care about gains and losses. Even when he suddenly said that he would quit the rent and move out, Yang Yi didn't have any special reaction, but Xiao Xiaochen felt it clearly today. Yang Yi was a little angry.

Today's ball game, Min Siting lost without suspense, and lost very thoroughly.

Everyone comforted each other, at least they won the case filing court yesterday, as long as they don't come to the bottom, everything is fine.

Onlookers who filed the case: "???"

When I got home, You Xuan was cooking. When Yang Yi came back, he stuck out his head and said, "Wash your hands, it's time to eat."

You Xuan cooked duck soup and copied two side dishes, which looked extremely refreshing and delicious.

Yang Yi sat down and quickly expressed his thanks.

You Xuan didn't take it seriously, "Anyway, I have to eat, and it's not troublesome to add a pair of chopsticks."

Although he said so, he didn't eat much. He quickly stopped his chopsticks and looked at Yang Yi quietly.

Yang Yi noticed You Xuan's gaze, and looked at him suspiciously: "What's wrong?"

"There was something wrong with you yesterday and today." You Xuan said bluntly.

Yang Yi paused, suddenly at a loss when he was asked such a question.

"It's okay, I don't have to ask to clarify, if you don't want to say it, let it go." You Xuan said, "Eat more, you are too thin."

"It's not that I don't want to say..." Yang Yi felt a toothache, "I just don't know what to say."

Yang Yi’s language expression ability has always been very bad. In middle school, he was called out by the teacher to summarize the main idea of ​​the article. He stood up for a long time and couldn’t come up with a few words. When he was in college, he was on stage for class presentations. He had to practice repeatedly in private and recite the whole article. Only then will it not go wrong.

Now he knows that there is something piled up in his heart, but he can't get rid of it, and he can't talk about it.

"Then what happened these two days?" You Xuan changed the way of asking.

"I...saw you last night." Yang Yi said,

You Xuan understood instantly, "You saw me talking to that person upstairs, right?"

"Ah."

"He is a relative of mine, and his blood is a little far away. I met him several times when I was a child. I didn't know he lived here before." You Xuan explained very seriously without any ambiguity, "Yesterday he came to ask me Money, I will give him the cash on my body."

"Oh..." Yang Yi nodded to show that he understood, and then he was a little worried, what if Lao You continued to rely on You Xuan for money in the future.

Seeing Yang Yi's worry, You Xuan said: "I can give it this time, and I won't give it when he comes again in the future."

After eating, Yang Yi washed the dishes and cleaned them up. He was a little absent-minded, and accidentally slipped and smashed a bowl.

The porcelain bowl fell to the ground and shattered into several pieces. Yang Yi carefully picked up the pieces and wrapped them with tape. He was still a little worried, worried that he might hit the garbage disposal person.

After disposing of the porcelain bowl, I looked up to find You Xuan standing at the door of the kitchen, looking at Yang Yi without saying a word.

Yang Yi only glanced at it, but couldn't read the meaning in You Xuan's eyes. He lowered his head and thought for a while, and said, "I should tell you clearly, my parents passed away when I was in high school, and now Some people in the community think that my mother committed suicide in the house, but it is not. The last roommate moved out is also a factor. If you have taboos, you can cancel the rent at any time."

After hearing this, You Xuan had a helpless expression on his face. He entered the kitchen and knelt down in front of Yang Yi, "I know."

"You know?" Yang Yi was taken aback, then remembered that their high school was also in the same school, and it's not surprising that You Xuan had heard some rumors.

You Xuan took the wrapped pieces out of Yang Yi's hands, threw them into the trash can, and reminded: "Your hands."

Only then did Yang Yi notice that he also had a cut on his hand, probably caused by a piece of debris just now. There was no bleeding and the pain was not obvious. He was a little dazed just now and didn't pay attention.

You Xuan found alcohol to disinfect Yang Yi.

Alcohol flowed into the wound, and Yang Yi just stared blankly at the cotton swab, neither saying a word nor complaining of pain.

"Doesn't it hurt?" You Xuan asked, alcohol disinfection has always been painful.

"It hurts." Yang Yi said concisely.

You Xuan laughed, he threw away the cotton swab, raised Yang Yi's hand, put it near his mouth and blew, "It won't hurt if you blow it on."

Yang Yi: "!!!"

Yang Yi jumped up at a loss. He felt something was wrong but didn't know what to do. He held back for a long time before he said, "I'm not a child."

You Xuan still smiled and nodded slightly, "Of course you are not a child, but no one played it for you when you were young, right? Now I will make it up for you."

"You... how do you know?" Yang Yi's current mood can be called horrifying.

The helplessness on You Xuan's face was still there, he bent his eyes, "Did you really not think of it? You told me."

Yang Yi has only told one person about these trivial things about himself since he was a child, and that person is his "pen pal" in high school, but Yang Yi can't connect You Xuan with his pen pal at all.

"Still can't think of it?" You Xuan pulled Yang Yi up, "Come with me."

You Xuan took Yang Yi back to his room.

There are few things in You Xuan's room, and there is only one book on the dressing table. You Xuan took out a note from the book and handed it to Yang Yi.

Yang Yi was still in a daze, but the note opened spontaneously, and there was only one line of words inside - "I'll wait for you in the small gazebo by the back door."

This line of characters is crooked and crooked, and it looks like it was written by Yang Yi.

After staring at the note for a long time, Yang Yi said, "I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you didn't come."

Yang Yi twitched the corners of his mouth, thinking he should smile but couldn't.

You Xuan hugged Yang Yi, put one hand on Yang Yi's waist and the other supported Yang Yi's back of the head, and whispered in Yang Yi's ear, "I'm sorry."
