you are a bit arrogant

The silence of the room poured in, Zhou Shengyuan stood slumped, without the courage to go out.

What can I see when I go out?You can only see the empty room.There wasn't even a quarrel, it just stopped abruptly.

Can't face it.

-

Small convenience store outside the complex.

"Father! I want this candy!" The crisp child's voice shouted to a man.

"No!" Before the man agreed with a smile on his face, a female voice sounded.

Xiao Duo pouted and looked at his mother with aggrieved eyes. Seeing that his mother was always serious, he turned his eyes to his father again.

"...Listen to mother." Yu Jiangfeng glanced at Wen Wen, and picked up his son with interest, "It's not good to eat too much sugar, it's easy to hurt your teeth. And didn't we agree, only buy water, and nothing else Not buying."

"...Hmm." Xiaoduo rolled his eyes in dissatisfaction, and saw that somewhere in the doorway his eyes suddenly lit up, pointing to a small figure squatting over there, secretly stretching his body in his father's arms and leaning over to fight with his mother. discuss.

"Mom, actually I don't want to eat candy by myself. Look over there, the little brother looks very unhappy. I want to buy candy for him, is that okay?"

Wen Wen turned over at the sound, and saw that there was actually a figure where her son's little finger was pointing. It looked small and was squatting by the glass door of the small shop.

She turned her head, her eyes fell on her son, and she asked indifferently, "Are you serious?"

Xiao Duo shrank back, imitating his father's cheeky sticking out his tongue: "Mmmm."

"Oh, let's buy it." Wen Wen agreed very readily, lowered her head and took out two coins from her bag, then looked at her son without any guilt and said, "I only have so much cash, you can buy it. "

Xiao Duo blinked, and stared at Wen Wen with big black and bright eyes, as if hesitating to say: "Mom, you can still use WeChat or Alipay."

But he dared not.As soon as Wen Wen raised her eyebrows, he slipped down from Yu Jiangfeng's arms with great flexibility, picked up the two coins and brought them to the counter.

"Uncle, buy a lollipop." He tiptoed and shouted.

It took a long time before someone came out from the back room. Hearing the voice behind him, he probably was playing mahjong. The man glanced at the money in Xiaoduo's hand, turned around and pulled a lollipop from the counter and handed it to him.

"Two yuan each, take it yourself." After speaking, he went to count the water money in front of Wenwen.

Xiao Duo blinked, watched Wen Wen take out her mobile phone to pay, and then looked at the only lollipop in her hand, lowered her head and whispered aggrieved:

"It's so expensive, the lollipops here cost two yuan."

Yu Jiangfeng looked at his son who was in the same misery as himself, deliberately made things worse, and urged him: "Son, didn't you say you want to buy candy for that little brother? Go quickly."

Xiaoduo stood there with his head bowed, his eyes fixed on the lollipop in his hand.Two yuan a lollipop, I really want to eat it...

He swallowed, and when he looked up, he saw his father leaning against the counter and laughing at him consistently, while his mother stood aside coldly, swiping her phone without even giving him a glance.

Xiao Duo pursed his lips in grievance, and the little calculations in his heart were gone. He firmly grasped the two-dollar lollipop in his hand, and finally made up his mind, and walked towards the figure squatting at the door.

The figure was motionless, it was there when he saw him when he was a child, and Xiao Duo was a little scared, but as a little man, he must do what he said, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and walk up.

It became clearer when I got closer, and I found that the little brother was wearing a clean sweater, with black and smooth hair, and he didn't look like a bad guy.

So he became more courageous and called out to his brother in a low voice.

The knuckles hanging on his knees moved, and Qin Xiao slowly raised his head, looking at the strange child in front of him, his eyes were empty and monotonous.

Xiao Duo yelled again, then stretched out his hand timidly, and handed the lollipop he held tightly to Qin Xiao. He whispered, "Brother, please eat it. You will be happy after eating it."

Qin Xiao was stunned, his eyes fell on the lollipop in the middle of Xiao Xiao's palm, and he stared blankly.

"Brother here!" Xiao Duo jumped forward suddenly, stuffed the candy into Qin Xiao's arms, then quickly turned around and threw herself back into Wen Wen's arms, holding her mother's leg, showing one eye happily watching Qin laughed.

Qin Xiao looked down at the candy in his arms, and the child not far away was still looking at him. A bit of wind blew, and the bangs on Qin Xiao's forehead moved. Slowly, he held the candy and lifted it up. At the beginning, he smiled briefly at Xiaoduo.

Seeing his little brother smiling at him, Xiao Duo immediately laughed happily, and then shyly buried his face in his mother's arms.

Wen Wen bent down to pick up Xiao Duo, and Yu Jiangfeng followed behind carrying water.

When she came to the door, Wen Wen's footsteps paused, she looked sideways at Qin Xiao, after thinking about it, she turned her head and asked, "Do you need help?"

Although Qin Xiao looked neatly dressed and had a clean face, he still looked strange squatting in front of the convenience store.

Qin Xiao held the candy, raised his face and smiled at Wenwen, shook the candy in his hand at Xiaoduo, and said softly: "It's okay, I'll be back soon."

Wen Wen gave a short "hmm" and walked back to the car with Xiao Duo in her arms.

Xiao Duo lay on his mother's shoulder, waving his little hand at Qin Xiao, and mouthing at Qin Xiao: "Brother, eat candy!"

Qin Xiao smiled unconsciously, and nodded slightly.

Yu Jiangfeng followed behind with water, squeezed his son's little hand in a funny way, put the water in the trunk and turned to the driver's cab, and said to Wen Wen while fastening the seat belt:

"Sheng Yuan seems to live near here."

Wen Wen was fastening the seat belt of Xiao Duo's child seat, but she didn't raise her head when she heard the words, and only answered, "Well, I'll ask him out for a get-together next time."

"By the way, my wife, you didn't come to the last party. Do you know Liu Yuan and Yao Jing's pair? The two of them broke up completely, and Yao Jing brought the partner directly at that time."

"Understood." Wen Wen frowned helplessly, "You have said n times since I came back, why are you so gossip?"

Yu Jiangfeng was not annoyed when he was interrupted, and continued to say with a little sigh: "Isn't that a sigh? You see, they didn't make it in the end. We are the only ones in the class who are still together. You say we are so happy." , how lucky."

"Yes yes yes." Wen Wen sat down by herself and urged him to drive, "Hurry up, I won't be able to catch up with dinner at my hometown later."

"No, no, no hurry, there's still time." Yu Jiangfeng started the car without haste, comforting his wife while continuing to talk, "By the way, I saw Sheng Yuan at the party last time, he was still single, you said His conditions are so good, he has a good job, a good family, and he is also handsome, this is not a diamond king..."

Wenwen ignored him, put on the bluetooth headset, turned her head and swiped her phone on her own.

Sitting in the child seat in the back seat, Xiaoduo blinked and looked at Yu Jiangfeng in the rearview mirror, skillfully cheering him on:

"Father, what does the diamond king and the fifth mean?"

-

Qin Xiao held the candy in his hands, watched the car go away, lowered his head and continued to squat.

The owner of this small shop is probably busy playing. When someone buys something, he comes out, and when no one else hides behind, there is a sound of rubbing mahjong in the room. Occasionally, when he comes out, he sees Qin Xiao and doesn’t rush. Come here and put it aside.

Qin Xiao didn't sit on it, he held the candy, and couldn't help but think in his mind, Zhou Shengyuan was always so kind to him, if he saw him squatting here when he got out, he would definitely feel distressed, right?

If you feel distressed, will you soften your heart, if you soften your heart, will you...

He held the candy, laughed for a while, and his eyes were red again for a while.

In the south in December, the wind was full of moisture, and his legs were so numb that he didn't even bother to move.His eyes fell on the candy in his hand, and the immature "happy" was still echoing in his mind.

If, if Zhou Shengyuan came out to look for him now, he would be happy.

He is here, he has not gone far, he is here.

He watched the clouds in the sky turn blue little by little, then redden little by little, and finally black.

At a certain time, the number of people coming to the convenience store suddenly increased. The boss took out the bottles and cans from behind the counter and pointed at "This is the light soy sauce you want" and "This is the fuel consumption you want". Noisy sound, I know it's night.

But still no one came to take him back.

Qin Xiao looked at the candy in his hand, wanting to open it and lick|lick|lick it, wondering if he would be really happy.But he waited until the street lights came on and the tall buildings in the distance were brightly lit, he held back.

What if you are still unhappy?That's all he has.

I don't know how long I waited until I lost all feeling in my knees.

The mahjong game finally ended, and the boss finally came to collect the stools, took a look at him and entered the store, and then there was the sound of "creaking" rolling shutter doors being pulled down.

Hearing the voice, Qin Xiao finally moved. He leaned his head against the wall and stood up inch by inch. His legs were almost unconscious. He was numb and propped up on his knees without looking back. Little by little, the legs walked into the distance.

When he reached the tall building out of sight, he suddenly curled the corners of his mouth and smiled.The light from the street lamp was too bright, so bright that he bent down unconsciously, and finally laughed out loud.

It seemed so funny that he couldn't breathe from laughing, he quickly coughed it out forcefully, with tears covering his face.

He sat down slowly by the street lamp, and after a long laugh, he wiped the marks on his face vigorously, then tore off the wrapper of the lollipop bit by bit, and put his hand into his mouth with a little unsteadiness.

"Not sweet, not happy, not happy at all..." He looked at the candy wrapper in his hand, and sniffed the sweetness in the air vigorously.

"It's really not sweet at all..." He covered his face with his hands, and the overflowing tears slipped from between his fingers and fell heavily on the lamp.
