kind of bend me

Four years later

Under the basketball hoop, a man in a prison uniform quickly dribbled the ball, rushed to the opponent's basket, jumped high before the opponent returned to the defense, and raised his hand to shoot.

"it is good!"

"Xuzi, you're so handsome!"

"Come on, beat them."

When his feet landed, the man pulled up his collar and wiped his face. After high-fiving his teammates, he ran back to the basket.

In prisons, games like this are often held.Shen Xu participated almost every time, which made him feel like returning to his youth.

The partner in the same room jokingly called him "the compressed version of Little Yao Ming", which provoked him to beat him up.

After taking a shower, he returned to the cell, took out the letter sent by the prison guard, and leaned against the window to read it.

The letter was written by Lorraine. In the past few years, I have written several letters intermittently, all of which are trivial matters in life.

For example, Yang Yang is already seven years old, in the second grade of primary school, very naughty, she would go into the teacher's office from time to time, and the uncle at the door asked her what grade she taught.

Four Treasures and Liu Ya are still separated after all. I heard that Liu Ya's father found her a partner with better conditions. If they die or die, they must split up. At first Liu Ya was unwilling, but later her father couldn't stand it. Noisy or broke up.Sibao didn't have the nerve to ask for the money, and Lorraine couldn't bear it, so she came forward to quarrel with the Liu family a few times, which made Liu Ya anxious and started fighting.

After alerting the police station, Sibao understood that he had given up on Liu Ya, and only when his attitude became tough would he get back 7 yuan, and the rest he would give to Liu Ya's father to burn paper.

Later, Lorraine introduced a girl from the unit to Sibao.The two of them just got along so tepidly.

Lu Qian came here a few times to see Yangyang and buy her something, and he would say sorry every time he left.

The small shop was managed very well by Lorraine. She was diligent and talkative, and she had many friends with a flexible mind. The business became more and more prosperous. She quit her job altogether and concentrated on running the small shop well.After Shen Xu came out, if she wanted to move in with her lover, she would pay to buy the small shop and Shen Xu's house together.If he doesn't leave, she will return the shop to him.She said with a smile that she is an acting boss, and whether she should be reinstated or dismissed, she will wait for the boss behind the scenes to speak.

After reading the letter, Shen Xu couldn't help sighing that the small shop he had worked so hard to run for nearly ten years was snatched away just like that.

These days, it is the old man who usurps power and throne!

Putting away the letter, just as his butt touched the bench, the voice of the prison guard sounded outside the door.

This time, it was like the sounds of nature, bringing hope.

A few months later

Across the wall, the sky outside the iron gate seems to be bluer.

The sun shone into his eyes, and Shen Xu closed his eyes uncomfortably.

The prison guard was a kind middle-aged man. He patted him on the shoulder and said, "Be a good person after you go out, and don't come back again."

Shen Xu smiled and nodded.

The door closed behind him with a muffled sound.

Not far away, a small white car honked its horn, and Wan Hui and his wife got out of the car and walked towards him with smiles on their faces.

Shen Xu took a deep breath, this is different from the air inside the high wall, the truly free air.

In Wanjia's small courtyard, Aunt Li, who had been busy all morning, brought out a table of sumptuous dishes and put them one by one into his bowl, forming a small mountain.

Wan Hui said with a smile: "Okay, how can Shen Xu still eat! Don't exaggerate too much, it will make him feel embarrassed."

Li Meixiang put down her chopsticks, and said to Shen Xu: "Look, the old man has scolded me again, Xiao Xu, don't be fooled, I can't get anything else with you, Uncle Wan, this hot meal is enough, hey, Hurry up and eat!"

Shen Xu nodded, no longer thanking him, and concentrated on eating.

After dinner, Wan Hui went back to his room to take a restless afternoon nap, while Shen Xu helped Aunt Li wash the dishes in the kitchen.

Li Meixiang talked about the changes in the past few years, but never mentioned Wanchen.

Shen Xu knew that it was the deepest pain in her heart.

He learned about Wan Chen through TV in prison, and he was quite surprised at the time, not because he thought Wan Chen was aboveboard, but those accusations were not true.

It's just that with Wan Chen's cautious temperament, if he really did those things, it shouldn't be so easy for people to catch him.

After wiping the dishes and putting them on the shelf, Li Meixiang dragged Shen Xu to the hut.

This is Wanchen's room. I remember that the last time I stayed here was six or seven years ago.

The furnishings in the hut are still the same as before, and there is still a small flower in full bloom on the bedside cabinet.

Li Meixiang opened the window and flattened the almost nonexistent creases on the bed, "Xiao Xu, come and sit, Auntie will talk to you."

Shen Xu sat next to her according to her words, and Aunt Li looked him over carefully, "Xiao Xu, you have gray hair."

Shen Xu smiled, "Ah, how many are there?"

He turned his head, Li Meixiang carefully picked out the silver thread, and gently snapped it off.

"Xiao Xu, what are your plans in the future? Are you still leaving?"

Shen Xu knew what Aunt Li was thinking, but he might not be able to realize this wish in his life.

City S was no longer his home, and he couldn't force himself to stay here.

"Auntie, I'm sorry."

Li Meixiang guessed the result and sighed softly, "I know I can't keep you. Is there any news about the person you brought before?"

Shen Xu: "Well, we have been in touch all the time, he is still waiting for me."

This was really beyond her expectation, "It seems that he is really a good man."

Whether five years is long or short, that person can still wait obsessively, which is really Shen Xu's blessing.

Maybe, his choice was really right, maybe.

Li Meixiang: "My aunt is old, this kind of thing... Well, actually, what's the use of forcing those things, as long as you are happy. Your happiness is more important than anything else."

Shen Xu turned his head and took her hand, "I will live well, don't worry."

Li Meixiang nodded, looking at him with a slightly sad look.

After hesitating again and again, she finally said: "You, do you want to go and see, Wan Chen?"

Shen Xu: "..."

Li Meixiang lowered her head and said sadly and helplessly: "You should already know about Wanchen. Although your Uncle Wan and I don't understand those things in the mall, I really can't believe that he will do those things. Wait until When the verdict came down and he was asked personally, he admitted everything. Really, he did it. Your Uncle Wan couldn't bear these blows, and he didn't want to go to see him for the first two years. But I'm a mother, so I don't care I can't worry about that child. Every time I go to see him, he is obviously darker and thinner, but he says he is fine and wants us to rest assured. Xiaoxu, tell me, how could such a sensible child like him do such stupid things! "

Shen Xu didn't know how to comfort her, so he could only listen silently.

As she spoke, Li Meixiang's eye sockets gradually became moist. She wiped away the tears that were about to fall from the corners of her eyes, and sniffed, "Fortunately, he is a strong child, and he has survived a few years. I'll persuade you anyway. Uncle forgives him, and went to see him with me. But just when we thought he was going to come out soon, he did something stupid and got into fights with people inside, which lasted another half a year. This time , your Uncle Wan refuses to recognize him no matter what you say, Xiaoxu, even you know how to reform and get parole, but he, why is he so confused. Xiaoxu, Xiaoxu, go and see him, help me Persuade him, okay? He should listen to you. Every time I go to see him, he will ask about you, care about your situation inside, whether you are injured or sick. Xiao Xu, you are still the best My friend, I beg you, go and persuade him to leave again, okay?"

In the afternoon, after waking up, Wan Hui played with his flowers and plants in the small courtyard.

Shen Xu took a nap for a while, and habitually folded the quilt into tofu cubes after getting up.

Li Meixiang went to the supermarket, Shen Xu greeted Uncle Wan and went out.

He doesn't want to contact Li Da and the others for the time being. Although he is a friend, he is still a person with a criminal record. Don't disturb their quiet life. Just meet up on the day before leaving.

As for He Lei, he also planned to look for him after returning home.

City S has undergone tremendous changes in the past five years, almost all of the old town has been refurbished, and even the most famous TV station in the city has moved.

Superstar Wenxuan is married and has moved abroad, but is still active in the entertainment industry.

The mayor of City S has changed, and the century-old store in the city center has changed owners. Even the fields, grasslands, and riversides that were once deep in memory have become well-equipped and expensive nursing homes.

City S has completely changed into something he doesn't know, and the fast pace here makes it impossible for him who has just stepped out of prison to adapt.

go home……

The little home in T City is the place he misses the most.

I don't care when I have it, but once I lose it, it becomes more and more precious.

Many times, in his dreams, he returned there, Sibao, Luo Lin, Yang Yang, kindergarten teachers and children, and neighbors greeted him as before.

His life, back to the past.

When he went back at night, he bought Uncle Wan's favorite cakes.

At the dinner table, Uncle Wan asked him about his future plans, and Shen Xu said that if conditions permit, he will return to his old business and continue to operate the small shop.He learned home appliance repair technology in prison. If the business is not good, he can change to a repair shop.

Uncle Wan nodded, satisfied.

After dinner, he took a shower and lay down in bed early.

Li Meixiang gave him her mobile phone and said that she would call if there was anyone she wanted to contact.

After receiving the mobile phone, after Aunt Li went out, he studied it for a while before he figured out how to use it.

Who to call?

Four treasures?

He should be having dinner at this time, or dating his girlfriend.

He Lei?

Thinking of this, he had a sudden whim and wanted to find He Lei's post back then.

Log in to TY, but I can't find that post.

In five years, things have changed, people have changed, the previous touch no longer exists, and netizens have long forgotten the one-way line they said they would always love.

Putting down his phone and resting his hands behind his head, he remembered what Aunt Li had said during the day.

See you, Wan Chen...

See you, what do you want to say?

Thank him for his hard work?

For Wan Chen now, would it be a kind of irony?

But what else could he say?

Today, five years later, they are no longer young, and they will worry about the criticism and discrimination that may exist in the future, and they have no heart and power to entangle love and hate.

Wan Chen, who had climbed to a high place and fell heavily, considering his pride and self-esteem, as well as the harm he did to himself in order to succeed, maybe...

Not meeting is the best option.

Wanchen today, the person he least wants to see is himself!
