Where did you get this substitute from?

There was a firework show by the lake, and people gathered around.

Su Er was blown by the wind for a while, and her body was a little cold. She said to Su Shen who was sitting beside her on the stone steps: "Shen, go home and help me get a coat, okay?"

Su Shen said "hmm", he patted Ji Shutong who was sitting on his side, and told him amidst the crowd: "Please help me take care of Sister, thank you."

Ji Shutong deliberately shook his hand back, and the dimples on his cheeks became more obvious when he smiled: "Got it, why are you so polite."

The night was thick, and the surrounding lights and shadows overlapped, Su Shen's face turned red instantly because of his small movements.

It's dark, no one will see...

"It's so easy for you to blush." ​​Ji Shutong said while standing up.

On the way back, Su Shen passed by the alley, subconsciously stopped in his tracks, looked at the dark alley, and after a brief moment of nervousness, he quickened his pace and left.

When he got home and opened the door, Su Shen found his sister's coat and was about to leave when his grandma, who was lying down with her eyes closed, suddenly stopped him: "Careful."

Su Shen paused with his hand on the doorknob, turned around and looked over: "Grandma?"

Grandma beckoned to him: "Come here."

Su Shen moved a small stool over and sat down.

Grandma, whose hair has turned gray, turned on the TV, "Shen Shen, watch TV with grandma for a while."

Su Shen wanted to say that Su Er was waiting for him to get his coat.

However, grandma looked at him, and those eyes seemed to be able to see the truest thoughts in his heart, "Shen Shen, you are still young, you don't understand their affairs, don't make trouble, do you know?"

Not long after the TV was turned on, there was the sound of fireworks going off outside the window, and bunches of fireworks flickered on and off.

By the lakeside where the willows blow, I looked at the entrance and exit crowded with people, but I didn't see Su Shen's figure.

Su Er turned around and noticed that Ji Shutong was absent-minded, and raised his hand on the wheelchair to grab the corner of Ji Shutong's clothes: "Shitong, what are you looking at?"

The traces are different: "Why hasn't Su Shen come back yet?"

Sur looked away.

Ji Shutong thought of the drunk man he had seen at the entrance of the alley last time, and felt uneasy.

He walked up to Su Er and squatted down: "Su Er, I have something to leave for a while, you wait here for me to come back first."

Su Er didn't stop him, she just silently looked at the backs with different signs.

The fireworks exploded again, and the sky was instantly lit up, and the traces ran fast. He went to the alley first, but there was no one there.

Then he walked along the road again, carefully distinguishing whether there were human voices among the crackling of fireworks.

Along the way, apart from a few sounds of Wangcai, most of the people here went to watch the fireworks by the lake, so there were not even a few human voices.

"Su Shen!" He was in a hurry and called out several times in a row, but nothing came of it.

If Su Shen didn't get stuck on the road, why didn't he come back?

He walked to the gate of Su Shen's residential area. Standing at the gate, he could see the window of his small bedroom.

Ji Shutong paused in place, seeing Su Shen's figure swaying by the window for a few times.

Annoyed and thankful, he finally couldn't hold back and picked up a stone and threw it towards the window.

Some branches blocked it, so they didn't throw it on the window glass, but just spun around on the window sill.

Su Shen heard the movement, opened the window, and saw the sign standing on the pile of small stones leaning towards his window.

"Hey!" Ji Shutong yelled at him, "Did you see that!"

Su Shen looked back. Grandma was sleeping on the recliner. The sound of the fireworks exploding was too loud just now, so she turned up the volume of the TV.

He panicked and responded, "See what?"

"Look!" Ji Shutong pointed at the splendor of the sky, and at the same time several bunches of fireworks rose up, almost illuminating the entire lakeside.

The traces are different: "I sent you the batch that started 2 minutes ago."

If the little guy is there, you'll hear the host give a speech thanking the list of sponsors for the event.

Su Shen froze for a moment.

The traces are different: "Hey, did you see it?"

He thought that Su Shen would be moved and weep bitterly, but what he didn't expect was that Su Shen drew the curtains.

"What are you doing?" Ji Shutong wanted to go up and grab him, and then throw him downstairs.

……

At the fried chicken restaurant, when Su Shen was taking a lunch break and eating the staff meal, he walked in like a familiar person.

Seeing that he was about to sit opposite her, Su Shen immediately held the dinner plate to change seats.

I don't know what this guy is pretending to be.

Is it cotton or paste?

"What's the matter with you." He looked at Su Shen displeased, "Are you trying to make trouble with me?"

Su Shen stared at him blankly, and actually nodded: "Yes."

Then he added: "Don't come to me again."

If eyes could kill, Su Shen would have been killed ten thousand times by his eyes.

Ji Shutong said with a cold face, "Why?"

"I...I want to work." Su Shen looked at the plate guiltily, "You affect my work."

"How much is your salary?" Ji Shutong teased him in a joking tone, "Why don't I pay for the rest of your summer vacation, playing with me is much more comfortable than working part-time."

Su Shen felt offended for the first time, but he didn't understand why this feeling of embarrassment and anger would run amok between his heart and lungs, and even his head was a little dizzy.

His hand holding the plate trembled.

"Don't be embarrassed, if you don't say anything, I'll ask the store manager." Ji Shutong really walked up to the front desk as he said.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Shutong felt something hit his shoulder, turned around, rice grains were spread all over the floor, and the dinner plate turned around and fell to the ground.

Su Shen was looking at him with red eyes.

He said "rely", walked up to Su Shen in a few steps, and lifted him up by the collar: "Why are you so fucking crazy!"

Su Shen, who has never been able to take advantage of speaking skills, looked at him fiercely, with his mouth tightly pursed.

In fact, when Yi Yangfan mentioned Su Shen, he should have discovered that Su Shen was not as docile as he appeared on the surface.

It's just that I didn't expect that the thorn inside would hurt so much.

…………

Ji Shutong disappeared for a long time after that almost do-it-yourself attack.

This summer vacation hastily ended, and Su Shen officially entered the third year of high school.

After the start of the semester, Sur submitted a leave of absence application.

Just after evening self-study, Su Shen went in to put down her bag, and heard her grandma discussing the loan with someone on the phone.

It was getting late, Su Er, who always went to bed early, was still in the living room, looking down at the old pattern on the coffee table.

He sat silently on the wooden sofa, waiting for grandma to end the call.

Sur was about to take a leave of absence from school to treat his legs, and the family's savings were all calculated and there was still a shortfall of 40.

Grandma is trying to mortgage the house to raise surgery fees.

But the loan didn't go well.

At night, Su Shen heard Sur's cry from the next room.

He suffered from insomnia all night, feeling an inexplicable bitterness in his heart.

Light rain, the road is a bit muddy.

After reading the weather forecast, Sister Li went to school to pick up Yi Yangfan and go home.

After getting off the car, Yi Yangfan walked to the door with an umbrella, and accidentally saw Su Shen standing not far from the door.

"Su Shen?"

Yi Yangfan's voice was a little unexpected and imperceptible surprise.

He hurried over a few steps and took the person under his umbrella, "Why are you here?"

The steaming teacup was pushed to him, "Aren't you going to school today?"

Su Shen shook his head.

He looked a little haggard.

Long Jiu looked up at himself, "Yi Yangfan, I..."

Yi Yangfan was stunned.

Su Shen's face was too pale, and his hands were tightly grasping the sofa cushion.

As a classmate who was still in school, Su Shen suddenly realized the huge gap with him.

But at this moment, he didn't have time to think too much.

All he knew was that he was flustered.

Yi Yangfan's concerned voice sounded in front of him, "Su Shen, have you encountered any difficulties?"

Su Shen shook his head.

He looked at the teacup in front of him in a daze.

"Sorry for disturbing you."

There was no way he could talk about his predicament after all.

…………

The bank rejected the loan application outright.

Su Shen didn't know it at first.

It was Sunday, he came back from work at the fried chicken shop, and grandma went back to her hometown to help with farming, and the house was quiet.

He thought Sur hadn't returned from the library.

He grabbed a change of clothes and went to the bathroom, only to find that the door wouldn't open.

After a few times, he realized that the door was locked, and there was no sound of breathing in the bathroom. He rushed to open the door and saw that the bathtub was already stained red with blood. Like falling asleep.

Even at night, there are still people walking around in the corridors of the hospital.

Su Shen looked at the blood that was about to dry up on his palm, as if his head had been hollowed out.

Because of his so-called pride and self-esteem, Sur is now lying in the intensive care unit.

A strong sense of guilt weighed down on him like a mountain.

"what happened to you?"

There was a person standing in front of Su Shen, he slowly raised his head, and saw the different signs of frowning.

A sickly girl stood not far behind Ji Shutong, looking her way steadily.

He pulled Su Shen up: "Why are you here, are you injured?" Then he reached out and raised Su Shen's hand to look, and found that the bloodstains did not belong to him, he was relieved.

The traces are different: "What's going on?"

Su Shen looked over with a dull gaze.

In his heart, he regretted that he didn't borrow the 40 from Yi Yangfan, and this person in front of him could help him make up for this mistake.

Ji Yitong looked at Su Shen kneeling in front of him in disbelief, his voice hoarse: "Please, lend me the money."

Not only Ji Shutong, but also the doctors and nurses who came and went, and the girl who was with Ji Shutong were all shocked by this scene.

Ji Shutong quickly pulled him up, looked straight into Su Shen's eyes, and saw only despair inside.

He learned the ins and outs from the doctor, and returned to Su Shen's side after a long time.

At this time, the sky was about to dawn, and the dawn was coming. Su Shen's hands and feet were cold and his head was hanging down, but he didn't know where his dawn was.

It can be seen from different signs that this person's mental state is on the verge of collapse.

They sat in front of the ward with their own thoughts.

"Su Shen, I know that 40 is not a small amount for you. You don't need to have too much psychological burden. I have a proposal. If you agree, you don't have to pay back the money."

Su Shen looked at him suspiciously.

"Today I accompanied the girl who came to the hospital, and my parents wanted me to chase her." Ji Shutong relaxed his tone, speaking very softly, "You know I like to play, how could I settle down so early. "

"You have been with me for one year, and after one year, we will break up."

Su Shen: "Together?"

"We live together, do you dare?"
