The enemy is pretending to be weak every day

In the last year of the university, all the courses are over, only one graduation thesis is missing, and the curly hair and inch heads who were bustling around me every day have also left school for internships, and the surroundings suddenly became deserted, and the hustle and bustle of the youth returned to silence Only then did I suddenly realize that I had grown up.

Pei Zheng has already confirmed that he has been admitted to graduate school, and Zhai Shen has also determined his future direction. Pei Zheng goes to the library to study every day, and he goes there with him. In fact, it has been like this since the freshman year, but at that time he read very complicated books. , Watch whatever you are interested in, and when he knew that Pei Zheng would stay in school for his undergraduate and master's studies in his junior year, he made adjustments.

On the eve of Christmas in his senior year, Zhai Shen came out of the examination room and saw Pei Zheng waiting outside the examination room at a glance, just like a few years ago when he was framed by Xie Youwei, Pei Zheng asked Lao Yang to win him a re-examination. The opportunity for the exam, that night, the school was quiet, and Pei Zheng stood outside his exclusive exam room, waiting for him to finish the exam.

In a flash, four years later, Pei Zheng who was standing there waiting for him became more mature and steady, but he was still the same Pei Zheng whose eyes would become warm when he appeared.

"How is it? Is it cold?" Pei Zheng took off the scarf around his neck and put it on Zhai Shen's neck.

It was afternoon when I entered the examination room, and it wasn’t too cold, but now the sky is getting darker, and snowflakes are already falling outside. I suddenly walked out of the heated examination room, and the wind made my skin hurt. This coldness is short-lived. , he was warmed by the muffled scarf, and then a coat was added to his body.

Zhai Shen put his hands in his pockets, shivered twice and felt much better, and seeing Pei Zheng's cold white neck skin exposed to the air, he felt cold for him.

"Take the scarf, don't freeze." Zhai Shen reached out to get the scarf.

Pei Zheng stopped his movement, he zipped his down jacket to the top, and then covered the hat, which made him look much warmer in an instant.

"I brought it for you when I went out. Wear it, I'm not cold." Pei Zheng said.

Zhai Shen didn't refuse anymore, put his hands back into his pockets, and walked side by side with Pei Zheng on the sidewalk, "Finally the exam is over, tomorrow is Christmas, let's get a Christmas tree and put it at home?"

"Okay, I will buy it when I go back." Pei Zheng replied, "Don't think about tomorrow's business, go to a restaurant to celebrate the end of your postgraduate entrance examination."

Zhai Shen laughed when he heard the words, "Little brother Pei, are you starting to pay attention to the sense of ceremony?"

Pei Zheng was a little helpless, walked with his head buried, and said, "I learned from you."

Zhai Shen smiled proudly. The cold wind poured into his throat, choking him to cough twice. Pei Zheng reached out and patted his back, "Hold tight."

After Zhai Shen finished coughing, he shrank his neck, "It's so cold!"

The two had dinner outside, and one walked back with a warm cup of coffee.

In the not-so-large rented house, colorful lights were shining, light bulbs and wires were entwined on the top of the green Christmas tree, Zhai Shen clapped his hands, "It's finally finished."

Pei Zheng took out an apple and handed it over. Zhai Shen looked at him suspiciously, and Pei Zheng said, "Ping An Apple, Ping An An."

Zhai Shen took it, sat on the ground, picked up the apple and took a bite, the cool sweetness rippling on the tip of his tongue, raised his eyes to look at Pei Zheng beside him, under the dim light, his facial features were outstanding, his face was clear but not clear Looks cold.

That cold Pei Zheng also showed traces of being contaminated by human fireworks.

After taking graduation photos, Zhai Shen's admission letter for graduate students also arrived. The blue-bordered piece of paper was not as eye-catching as when he was admitted to the University of Physical Education, but Zhai Shen's eyes still lit up when he saw it.

He didn't think about developing in this field before, but one day he heard from Pei Zheng that if he wanted to take the postgraduate entrance examination, he wanted to go to a higher level and have more ability to do what he wanted to do. At that time , he wanted to be a policeman.

Pei Zheng wants to do everything he has learned to defend the dignity of the law. He wants to stand in front of the weak and protect them from the wind and rain. Maybe the scope of his power is very small, but at least he and Pei Zheng are fighting hand in hand. It's not in vain that his love is vigorous, and it's not in vain to come to the world for a while.

If Pei Zheng is the lighthouse on his life path, he will keep moving in that direction.

There are still a few months before the start of the new school, and Zhai Shen and Pei Zheng are discussing that they want to go on a trip. Although the study tasks are heavy during the four years of university, they have visited the places that should be visited in the capital and the food that should be eaten. He has tasted them all, and after careful calculation, he is probably the one who lived the most fulfilling college life among all the people around him.

He didn't lie down from sunrise to sunset in the student dormitory, didn't stare at video games all night, and didn't hold a book and recite the key points in a day when he was about to take the exam. He was influenced and restrained by Pei Zheng , I have come into contact with a lot, but I also learn to stop when enough is enough.

During the process, it is true that the two games are not enjoyable, and the interest will decline, and the teacher will feel sleepy and boring because the teacher's lecture is too boring, but when many things form a habit, I will not feel that getting up at six o'clock in the morning is too much. Disappointed, the two of them faced the rising sun, and every inch of land they stepped on could hear their chatting and laughing.

"Go to City C? I want to eat the hot pot over there." Zhai Shen drew a circle on the map.

Before Pei Zheng expressed his opinion, Zhai Shen denied his thoughts again, "No, let's go to City H, I haven't seen the grassland over there."

He drew one circle after another on the map. Who knows, he thought that he had a few years of vacation to visit the whole country.

Pei Zheng looked aside with his arms propped up, and when Zhai Shen couldn't make up his mind to look at him, Pei Zheng stretched out his hand and drew a line on the map, "Let's go this way, we can probably play five or six cities."

Zhai Shen pondered for nearly a minute before nodding, "Then let's go this route!"

There are too many places he wants to go with Pei Zheng, there must be a choice.

However, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes, and when the two were about to book a plane ticket, Hu Yaqin called.

The three words Hu Yaqin appeared on Pei Zheng's mobile phone screen, which was really surprising. Zhai Shen thought, if Pei Zheng hadn't changed his mobile phone number, probably this cheap little girl would never be able to find Pei Zheng.

However, having said that, Pei Zheng hasn't changed his phone number, is he also giving Hu Yaqin a little sense of security?

There was no contact in four or five years. When Pei Zheng's voice came from the phone, the person on the other end was silent for a while.

"What's the matter?" Pei Zheng asked calmly.

This sound seemed to shatter Hu Yaqin's dazed dream. She recovered and said in a complicated tone: "Father is dead."

The cup Zhai Shen was playing with was put back on the table. Hu Yaqin's voice was not loud, but there was no third person in the room, so he could hear it clearly.

Zhai Shen looked at Pei Zheng, wanting to see something strange from his calm face, he saw a little dazed in Pei Zheng's eyes as he wished, and then relaxed, and it seemed to be mixed with some unwillingness.

Zhai Shen felt that he was wrong, he blinked his eyes, Pei Zheng was no different from usual, he said, "How did you die?"

"He was hit by a car. Last night, he drank too much and lay on the road. That's it..." Hu Yaqin lost her voice suddenly in the middle of speaking, not knowing whether she was sad or confused.

She didn't have many relatives, and her father's death meant that there was one less person involved with her in this world, but she didn't feel bad, it was strange.

Obviously they are blood relatives.

She didn't understand that she had seen other people's breakdowns when their family members died, and it was completely different from her own.

She didn't say this thought, if she told Pei Zheng, she would know that he was not the only one who didn't feel bad, and Pei Zheng didn't feel sad either.

"Well, I'll go back tomorrow." Pei Zheng said.

Hu Yaqin had nothing else to say and hung up the phone. Her attitude towards this brother was very complicated. She wanted to scold him for being cold-blooded and ruthless like before. She would not be sad when her father died, but this time, She couldn't speak.

He couldn't utter a single word of Sapo's words. He could hear the coldness in Pei Zheng's words, because he hadn't seen him in four years, and the sense of alienation couldn't be changed even by blood relationship.

Besides, her father's death really has nothing to do with Pei Zheng, it's not his father.

She was even afraid that if Pei Zheng didn't come back, how would she deal with her father's affairs by herself.

The four years have also made her grow up a bit. She is still cynical and feels that the world is unfair, but she also understands from the empty room where Pei Zheng lived in the family that some people can really erase all the traces of their existence. , went away for several years, never seeing each other, never hearing from each other.

"Go back tomorrow?" Zhai Shen asked him after hanging up the phone.

Pei Zheng nodded, "We have to deal with his affairs. You also go back to spend two days with your uncles and aunts. When I'm done with it, I'll go find you, and we'll start from home."

Zhai Shen nodded, "Okay."

The next day, the two returned to the city by plane. Pei Zheng said goodbye to Zhai Shen at the high-speed railway station and went to the next city.

Zhai Shen came home alone, and had called Zhai's mother before leaving this morning, so it was not surprising to see him come back, but he was still happy.

He went to university abroad for four years, and his hometown was only winter and summer, not spring and autumn. Every time he left home, he only returned home every few months or even half a year. He could clearly see the reluctant eyes of his parents, but they all agreed don't mention it.

"I said on the phone that Zhengzheng would come back with you, why didn't he come?" Zhai's mother went up to her and asked.

Di Ma's face is still wrinkle-free and well maintained. It seems that it is not surprising that she and Zhai Shen are siblings. As for the previous estrangement between mother and child, it was finally cleared up during the Chinese New Year last year.

Zhai's parents and Zhai's mother can also see through the past few years that Zhai Shen and Pei Zheng are not casual novelties, they have already tacitly become an indispensable existence in each other's life, so the previous cautious Being put down slowly, supported them to be together.

The child's emotional road should be walked by himself.

"His stepfather passed away, so he went back to deal with it." Zhai Shen said.

Mother Zhai thought for a while, then sighed, she didn't say anything about the impermanence of the world, after all, she also knew what happened to Pei Zheng, as a woman who has been pampered for so many years, she can't see such dirty people.

But her quality and upbringing told her that she couldn't say "it's fine to die".

He was vicious, and she couldn't speak, so all her thoughts turned into a sigh.

"It's not easy for Pei Zheng." Zhai's mother said, "I haven't received any kindness from his stepfather, and I have to take care of his funeral."

Ever since Mother Zhai learned of Pei Zheng's past, she has been very fond of Pei Zheng. She promised him that he and Zhai Shen would be together. She also believed that a child who had come out of adversity but still had a longing for him had a good nature and was more mature than others. more firm.

Zhai Shen didn't say anything, he felt that with Pei Zheng's temperament, he would probably deal with it in a business-like manner, without harboring feelings, let alone procrastinating.

Just imagine, after death, no one is sad because of his passing, and the tomb stands tall, but no one cares about him, what a failure it is.

That man who has never been kind to Pei Zheng in his life, in the days to come, his tombstone will be deserted, and when weeds are overgrown, maybe only passers-by will show kindness and help him pull them out. up.

Zhai Shen was right. Pei Zheng's face was as calm as water, and he went through the funeral according to the procedure. However, no one cried, and there was no mourning or joy.

Hu Yaqin wanted to cry twice, but she couldn't shed tears. In her heart, she also hated her father very much.

I didn't dare to hate before, but now, ashes to ashes to ashes, it doesn't make any sense.

Those dark lives before were not blown away by the breeze because of her father's death, but they were still caged in her heart. If they couldn't go away, they all belonged to her past!

She sat on the ground, looking at that cold and lonely figure. Her brother should be hated by her, but now he is the only person she can rely on.

However, it seemed that he could no longer rely on him. He was in front of her eyes, but he seemed to be far away from her.

Hu Yaqin suddenly thought that Pei Zheng was sick and hospitalized that year, and no one was taking care of him, only her.

After the operation, he fell asleep on the hospital bed, and she felt revengeful. She didn't give him food and drink, and didn't let him sleep well. She asked him why he didn't die every day, but when she saw him so thin and out of shape, She was afraid again, afraid that his body would not be able to bear it.

She went to nurses and doctors, but no one understood her madness, and she didn't really understand what she was doing, as if she was crazy.

But Pei Zheng always said she was crazy.

Because Pei Zheng had no money for the operation, she would try her best to find all the people she could ask to pay for the treatment, but she couldn't see that he was doing well.

How strange!

Pei Zheng didn't look back at Hu Yaqin behind him, he was always like an emotionless machine, after finishing everything, he stood in front of the tombstone and looked at the name on it.

Did the person who waved his fist and raised a stick when he was drunk before thought that one day he would end his life drunk?

Pei Zheng actually felt that he died lightly, and he was not relieved, but in the past few years, his cold heart had been warmed up by others, and he had a "family" who treated him kindly for no reason, and the pain in his heart in the past It was looked down upon.

After finishing all this, when he was about to leave, he received a message from Zhai Shen.

Di Shen was bored at home alone, so he ran to the next city to find Pei Zheng, and when he heard the voice on the phone urging him to answer, the coldness in Pei Zheng's eyes faded away, like a spring breeze.

Pei Zheng received Zhai Shen, and the two went to the cemetery together, not to see Pei Zheng's stepfather who had just passed away, but to worship Pei Zheng's parents.

At the intersection, Hu Yaqin saw Pei Zheng walking beside Zhai Shen, and only had that person in his eyes, his love was unadulterated, and Pei Zheng, who hadn't smiled in the past few days, was like a warm sun in front of Zhai Shen.

People do change.

Zhai Shen and Pei Zheng didn't notice the existence of Hu Yaqin. After paying homage to Pei Zheng's parents, Zhai Shen and Pei Zheng went back to the hotel and had a short rest overnight.

On a whim, Hu Yaqin sent Pei Zheng off before he left, and Zhai Shen and Pei Zheng were surprised when they walked out of the hotel.

Hu Yaqin looked at the two, and seemed unable to say what she had thought up before. She stared at the two for a while, and finally gave up, turned and left.

Zhai took a deep look at Pei Zheng's expression, and then called Hu Yaqin to stop.

When Hu Yaqin turned her head, Zhai Shen thought for a while and said, "Although I don't like you all the time, let's get out early and live a good life."

Hu Yaqin didn't know what she was thinking, her eyes were dull, she didn't speak, and Zhai Shen couldn't be bothered to say anything.

"Your brother treats you well." Zhai Shen finally said.

Hu Yaqin stood there in a daze, and when Zhai Shen and Pei Zheng left, she looked up at their backs.

When he was far away, Pei Zheng said, "Why tell her that?"

Zhai Shen smiled, "The sympathy is overflowing, can't it?"

Pei Zheng looked at him, watching quietly.

Zhai Shen felt terrified by this look, and compromised: "Hey, I don't have any intentions. I just want to make one less person in this world who hates you. I think that even if others don't like you, they shouldn't hate you."

What's more, the person standing between the two of them is gone, so there's no need to make the future a little bit unhappy because of the past.

Pei Zheng was in his heart, he didn't want Pei Zheng to be bored by anything, let alone his last relatives in this world would stab him in the heart.

He likes him, loves him, wants to protect him, that's all.
