madness

Su Tianlin finished the college entrance examination and performed normally. It was like a big rock fell to the ground at home, and the atmosphere suddenly became much more relaxed.The school entrance banquet was held on July 7th, which was a Sunday, and Su Zhiyun was also called over.

In the banquet, there are staggered cups and cups, and the clothes are fragrant and the temples are shadowed.

"Hey, this is Tianlin, isn't it? You're really a good-looking talent. I remember seeing you a few years ago, right? You've grown into a young man now."

The woman in the cheongsam couldn't stop admiring, with envy in her eyes.

"Yanjiao is really lucky, the children she gave birth to are all so well-behaved."

Su Tianlin responded politely from the side, and there was no fault in his etiquette.

"By the way, where's your brother? I haven't seen him for a long time. Oh, Xiao Zhiyun looked exactly like Yanjiao when he was a child. He looked like a girl doll. Not to mention how attractive he is, but I don't know what he is now. How is it?"

Li Yanjiao raised her chin, she was dressed very beautifully today, with cloudy temple hair, snow-white skin, and a pair of biyingying emerald earrings shining brightly.

"Over there, this kid usually doesn't like to talk to others. He was like that when he was a child."

The woman in cheongsam looked in the direction Li Yanjiao pointed, and found that Su Zhiyun was standing in the corner, wearing white T-shorts, out of tune with the people in dresses, silent.

She hesitated for a while, showing a look of disapproval: "Yanjiao, what I said is not pleasant, don't mind if you hear it, we all know that you still remember Xiaohua's matter, but you should also know that it is just An accident. How can you vent your anger on Zhiyun?"

"He was just such a small child at that time, no matter what, he was also a piece of flesh and blood that fell out of your stomach, you did too much..."

"Tianlin." Li Yanjiao interrupted the other party's words, her fingertips clenched the goblet so hard that she turned pale, and she kept a smile on her face: "I remember that Lele's dinner doesn't seem to be prepared today, right? You Go and call Aunt Wang, and remember to tell Aunt Wang not to feed Lele salty food all the time, it will be bad for his health."

"correct."

Li Yanjiao turned her head and looked at the woman with a smile, her pupils similar to those of Su Zhiyun were curved, gathering a little sparkle.

"What did you just say, it's too noisy here, you can't hear clearly?"

The cheongsam woman opened her mouth, but finally closed it feebly.

"It's nothing, I was talking too much."

……

Su Zhiyun could hear those whispers, as well as Ruoyou Ruowu's gazes.

Bathed in bright sunlight, there is nowhere to hide.

"Is it him?"

"it's him."

"Was that thing true back then?"

In the banquet hall, people's earlobes, chests and fingers are shining, shining brightly under the light, precious and bright jewels and perfumes of various atmospheres are intertwined into a colorful illusion.

It was like a sudden dream in summer, full of clamor and turmoil.

The indifference of delicate mechanical quality born in the searing heat is irrelevant.

Su Zhiyun lost his appetite amidst the upside-down discussions, and put down the plate in his hand.

When Su Tianlin was on the phone, he glanced back inadvertently, and gradually frowned after realizing that Su Zhiyun was not where he was.

"Hey, master, what's the matter?"

Aunt Wang's voice came from the other side, and Su Tianlin had to turn his attention back.

"It's like this, Aunt Wang, just now..."

……

There was a scorching heat wave wrapped in the wind outside. The farther you were from the banquet hall, the more you could see a huge forest made of reinforced concrete at night. The treetops bore feasting and colorful fruits, which dimmed the stars and the moonlight.

Su Zhiyun doesn't like city nights.

His grandparents live in an undisturbed place like a paradise on the edge of the city. In summer, the stream is gurgling and crystal clear, and you can even see small translucent fish swimming around with two dot-like eyes. Su Zhiyun When I was still in elementary school, I would go back to the countryside every summer vacation for the summer vacation.

The night there has nothing to do with the hustle and bustle, the temperature at night is so low that it can make people feel a little cold, the dew forms a layer of wet, crystal clear puddles on the fluffy pumpkin leaves, and the fireflies flicker on and off in the grass.

Occasionally, Su Zhiyun's grandfather would pick off a section of orange pumpkin flowers with branches from the pumpkin seedlings and give it to Su Zhiyun.

Su Zhiyun caught fireflies and put them into pumpkin flowers, and glued the gaps with scotch tape to make a small pumpkin lantern. Xiaohua liked this invention very much. Every night, she took the pumpkin lantern with her bare feet and took great pleasure in the family. A family went to knock on the door.

"what is this?"

"This is a jack-o-lantern, Xiao Zhiyun made it."

"what is this?"

"This is a jack-o-lantern, Xiao Zhiyun made it."

"what is this?"

"This is a jack-o-lantern, Xiao Zhiyun made it."

Xiaohua solemnly introduces her invention to everyone she meets.

If that person can praise Su Zhiyun by the way, Xiaohua will be happier than anyone else. She always shouts to everyone, "My brother is the best inventor in the world!"

Everyone knows that in the eyes of the six-year-old Xiaohua, Su Zhiyun is an omnipotent and omniscient superman. He is a perfect hero that only appears in comics, and fits all her weird and innocent fantasies.

Su Zhiyun raised his hand to cover his eyes, feeling that somewhere in his heart was slowly expanding, overflowing with turbulent acid water.

In the silent summer night, there was a long-lost heavy rain without warning in the city.

patter.

Su Zhiyun slowly realized from his aching stomach that he hadn't eaten a single drop of water in the banquet just now, so he found a Qianhui Supermarket that was open on the side of the road, and ordered finger cakes and noodles.

The finger cakes are salty and sweet. Su Zhiyun ate them slowly, opened the door and left after paying.

Gradually, the voices and shadows of people disappeared, and he walked farther and farther unknowingly, and arrived near the forest park.

The air is humid and cool, tall trees grow overwhelmingly along the roadside, and there is a faint sound of crickets.

"Su Zhiyun?"

Someone stopped him.

Because this voice often appears in dreams and memories, and it is more of a vague and unreal existence, but it never really appears in life again.

So much so that when he heard it, Su Zhiyun's first thought was not to look back, but to wonder if he had hallucinations again.

Until the voice sounded real again, with a slight smile.

"Su Zhiyun, long time no see."

His fingers holding the umbrella began to tremble a little, his brain went blank due to the sudden stimulation, and his body instinctively turned around, and he saw a smiling face under the orange streetlight.

Glasses with silver wire frames, a white shirt in summer, the rain was falling down the umbrella he held up, his eyes were slightly curved, and he looked decently bookish.

"Tang Hong?"

Su Zhiyun muttered to himself, feeling a familiar tremor from a certain corner.

Huge, enough to block out the sun's shadow.

The umbrella in Su Zhiyun's hand fell off with a "click".

So at any time, the two things "coincidence" and "long time no see" are not likable.

……

After Su Tianlin called Aunt Wang, he hurriedly chased after him. He looked around but couldn't find Su Zhiyun.

Not far away, under a street lamp, there was a man smoking in a black car.

He doesn't have a particularly striking appearance, but he looks very refined and polite, like a well-educated teacher, with a thin lighted cigarette between his fingertips, and a wisp of mist drifting upwards from his lips, There are mirror-like puddles scattered around the feet, reflecting the bright orange lights.

This man looks good smoking, and there are no other passers-by around, Su Tianlin couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"Are you looking for someone?"

The other party saw Su Tianlin's intention.

Su Tianlin hesitated for a moment: "Yes, sir, did you see a boy in a white T-shirt running over just now? He is about the same height as me, very thin, and around seventeen or eighteen years old. He is my younger brother. I got lost."

The man has a kind of intimacy that is rare, very gentle and not aggressive at all. He wears glasses with silver wire frames, and his white shirt is ironed without any wrinkles: "Do you have long hair and a braid? ?”

"Yes, you saw him?"

"He went to Forest Park."

"Forest Park?"

It was also the first time for Su Tianlin to eat here, and he was not familiar with the route here. He still didn't understand the strange place name at first glance.

Seeing his embarrassed look, the man said, "Aren't you going? If you don't mind, I can take you there."

Obviously he was willing to help others, but he said it as if he had something to ask for from others.

Su Tianlin subconsciously wanted to refuse: "This is too much trouble for you."

"No." The man seemed to have remembered something, and smiled slightly: "But the forest park is a bit far away, and I may have to drive you for a while."

He is not a copper smelter... The protagonist is not molested... The protagonist's brother is not! (What the hell is going on in your mind...)
