tattered

It was already late, and there was music coming from near or far. A few women in pink and green t-shirts walked past the apartment buildings with fan handles, and their trouser legs were billowing beautifully in the autumn wind.Xie Lian passed by Xianyan, then walked into the dark corridor.

Suddenly the woman's laughing voice rose, disturbing the birds on the branches - and a stray cat shaking its fur.

"Meow——!"

A white figure fled into the corridor wearing black sneakers, and quickly disappeared into the darkness, leaving only a low whimper.

Xie Lian frowned slightly.

He bent down and brushed his trousers, his jaw was tense, his expression was still ugly after he straightened up, he couldn't tell whether it was because of the cat or something else.

Jiang Ye finally replied to him on WeChat, which happened several hours ago during the sports meeting.However, none of the several messages he sent within 10 minutes received a response.

Xie Lian knew what was expected.

He raised his feet and stepped up a flight of stairs, but soon the dizziness struck again, and the stairs in front of him turned into a whirlpool, forcing him back abruptly.The drunkenness had obviously been blown away by the wind, but Xie Lian's brain began to tingle whenever he thought of Jiang Ye's expression when he left.

At that time, those eyes seemed to be filled with sparkles, so beautiful, how could anyone be willing to break them?

But Xie Lian was willing to do so.

"Meow, meow..."

Xie Lian lowered his eyes. The white dumpling from before rolled to his feet at some point, and then he lay down on the ground defenseless, with his furry belly rolled over, trying to stretch out his claws to grab Xie Lian's trousers.

Seeing that the trouser legs were about to be reduced to toys, Xie Lian took a step to the right, but the ball rolled clumsily and came close to him again.

Xie Lian looked at it expressionlessly.

The cat didn't seem to feel the indifference of the two-legged beast in front of it. It made two "mi"s coquettishly, leaned forward on the ground, waved its paws happily, and quickly grabbed the laces of Xie Lian's sneakers.

Xie Lian suppressed it all night, and the low pressure finally found an outlet.He pursed his lips impatiently, and swung his ankles left and right, not wanting the round ball to roll directly to one side, and there were some aggrieved whimpers in his abdomen.

"..."

Xie Lian suddenly woke up, why would he bother the kitten if he was unhappy.

When I looked at the past again, the kitten had already shrunk into a ball far away, not daring to come closer.When the little head was raised, there was still a bit of timidity in the round eyes.

Xie Lian felt inexplicably familiar with these eyes.

He bent his left knee and squatted down, looking at the ball shrunk in front of him.It is clearly a stray cat, but it is chubby and has no sharp eyes, so it can be defenseless against strangers.

Even Xie Lian didn't realize that his eyes softened at some point.Those wines from earlier seem to have entered the eyes, making intoxicating waves.

The cat also sensed that there was no threat, and the atmosphere became calmer.It barked softly, and then stretched out its head to sniff carefully. After confirming that the other party was not hostile, it seemed to have completely forgotten the scene of being bullied before, and raised its front paws stupidly to reach the person in front of it. Knee, seems to be actively showing favor.It's just that the moment it was about to touch it, its beard shook twice quickly, as if it suddenly thought of something, it felt wronged and carefully retracted its claws.

Xie Lian said in a deep voice, "It's all my fault."

"Snoring, snoring~"

The cat turned around in a circle in front of him, even the tip of its tail was intimate.

"Forgive me yet?" Xie Lian sighed, then said after a pause, "Then tell me..."

"Will he forgive me too?"

When getting up, Xie Lian thought, I might be really drunk.

If he is not drunk, how can he talk to a cat for a long time; but if he is drunk, why is the enthusiasm in his heart so clear.

Xie Lian took out the key from his pocket and opened the door. He was inexplicably relieved to see a dark living room in front of him.No matter how generous and tolerant parents are, they will not be happy to see their children go home reeking of alcohol.

"Xiao Lian is back?"

When walking towards the bedroom, a soft voice came from the sofa, and Xie Lian froze.

"Yeah." Xie Lian looked back, and Feng Ruzi was sitting up with her body propped up.He walked aside and turned on the headlights in the living room, "Why don't you turn on the lights."

"I thought about squinting for a while before, but I didn't expect to fall asleep."

There was a moment of silence in the air.

Xie Lian finally said after a long while, "It's cold, go back to your room and rest."

"No hurry." Feng Ruzi beckoned, "Come and sit, mom will chat with you."

"You're old, and mom doesn't want to care about you so much." Feng Ruzi said softly: "But what age do you do, you are a high school student, drinking so much alcohol outside at night is always not good. Besides, do you know how dangerous it is to be drunk, what will happen and what won't happen, how can you take responsibility?"

Xie Lian listened silently, clasping his hands on his knees.

Feng Ruzi leaned over, and covered the back of Xie Lian's hand with her warm palm, "Don't worry Mommy next time, okay?"

"I'm sorry, Mom." Xie Lian said, "I just..."

I just……

Xie Lian closed his eyes.

Feng Ruzi quickly noticed that Xie Lian's mind was heavy, "What's wrong, what's wrong with you?"

Xie Lian didn't speak, just lowered his eyes and put his right thumb on his left index finger.The moment the nails left, a white crescent mark was formed, and soon disappeared, so he pressed a new mark again like masochistic.

Feng Ruzi said, "The exam didn't go well?"

Seeing that Xie Lian's expression remained unchanged, Feng Ruzi laughed first, and joked, "Why, my son never worries about his studies."

"Still," she guessed again, "the ranking in the sports meeting is not good?"

"No. 1."

"What's the reason for that?" Feng Ruzi pointed her chin with her index finger, and after thinking for a long time pretending to be distressed, she looked at Xie Lian with a sudden understanding, "Did you have a conflict with... and a friend?"

Xie Lian quickly pursed his lower lip, and the movements of his hands stopped suddenly.

Feng Ruzi had a panoramic view of his expression and movements, and sighed inwardly, "Talk to mom, okay?"

"I made him sad."

After Xie Lian finished speaking, his eyes were confused for a moment, and he opened his mouth, as if he was not sure that he was the one who spoke just now.The air was a little frozen, only the strong smell of alcohol surrounded him.A few beads of sweat slipped from the corner of his forehead, Xie Lian seemed to be entangled in a nightmare, lowered his head with a somewhat painful expression, and murmured: "I made him sad..."

"Mom," Xie Lian's voice was hoarse, "I..."

"It's okay, it's okay." Feng Ruzi got up and stood beside Xie Lian, trying to comfort her, "Please come to my house for dinner on weekends, please apologize."

Xie Lian nodded lightly, "Okay."

The autumn wind knocked on the windows, and it was difficult to disturb the tranquility of the room.

In the silence, Xie Lian suddenly noticed something, and his brain was more than half awake in an instant.

He raised his head abruptly, his eyes trembling when looking at Feng Ruzi, "...Mom."
