Have you really studied computer before? "

"Hmm. Who told you?"

"There are a lot of people in our class who like to collect gossip, and you will get to know them gradually in the future."

"After learning for a while, I know how to program."

It was rare for Jiang Hao to say so much by himself, and Mu Chen immediately forgot his original intention, and continued to ask questions with great interest.

"Then why did you come to No. [-] Middle School, or a liberal arts class?"

"Feel sorry."

That means it is inconvenient to say.Mu Chen was a little disappointed, but still respected Jiang Hao and didn't ask further.

But unexpectedly, Jiang Hao went on to say: "It's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just...it's not enough right now. You...don't be angry."

In fact, Mu Chen is not angry at all. Jiang Hao is much better than those who deliberately deceive, at least he will say what he wants to say, and he will not lie to what he does not want to say.

Besides, he didn't want to spy on Jiang Hao's past as gossip to satisfy his curiosity, but he guessed some hidden scars from the little details, and he wanted to know more about it. See more and be more comprehensive, so as to heal him.

But there was no way to tell Jiang Hao these things, so he just replied: "Well, I'm not angry."

After the disinfection was done, Mu Chen wrapped gauze and blood on his injured area.

Just as Jiang Hao was about to stand up from the sofa, Mu Chen suddenly stopped him.

"Wait a moment."

Mu Chen picked up a tissue and covered his forehead.The temperature of the fingers is transmitted to the skin of the forehead through the thin tissue.

"You've got wine on your forehead. Wipe it off now."

"Thank you."

It was already two o'clock in the afternoon after the wound was treated, and everyone was already hungry, so Brother Zheng invited guests to eat nearby.

Mu Chen's feet were inconvenient, so Jiang Hao helped him walk.

"Are your feet really okay?"

"It's really no problem, just twist it a bit and take a rest."

Jiang Hao almost half-carried him to the restaurant.

14. The Window of Silence

"Thank you both very much today. I didn't repay the favor of saving my life, but I made you suffer again because of me."

Zheng Feng picked up a glass of boiled water and toasted Jiang Hao and Mu Chen.

"Don't talk about Brother Zheng like that, it's all a fateful friendship now, so what kind of favors are you talking about?"

"Thank you all. If there is anything I can help in the future, you must come to me."

"Hey, you only thank the two children and not us brothers."

"Why should I thank you, you all grew up together, I didn't know that you guys are thick-skinned and thick-skinned!"

The meal was finished talking and laughing, and the atmosphere that was destroyed just now returned to the harmony and joy at the beginning.

"Brother Zheng, who are those troublemakers?"

"The leader is Yin Da, who grew up in the same yard as me, and the others are his helpers."

"I heard him say that you owe him money. Of course, I don't think it's true. I'm just curious."

"It's not that I can't tell you about this...Yin Da and I both grew up without a father. When my mother took me there, Aunt Bai took Yin Da to live next door to us. Yin Da was a child After studying badly, he hangs out with dubious people, and Aunt Bai is busy working to support mother and son every day and doesn't care about him."

"Although Yin Da is not a thing, Aunt Bai is kind-hearted and kind to everyone. I was not yet an adult when my mother had the operation, and it was difficult to find a job after dropping out of school. Aunt Bai had no money in her own family. She even forced me to pay [-] yuan, saying that she borrowed it together and hoped it would help me a little."

As Brother Zheng spoke, the corners of his eyes turned red.

"Your mother...is she okay now?" Mu Chen asked cautiously.

"The operation was unsuccessful, and he passed away five years ago."

"Sorry." Mu Chen regretted his question a bit.

"It's okay." Zheng Feng pretended to smile relaxedly, trying to relieve Mu Chen's guilt.

"It's been a long time, and it's nothing. The day you met me was... my mother's death day. I was going to see her, but I was hit by a car stolen by Yin Da. When I was in a trance, I seemed to be killed by him. Once stabbed, you don’t know anything after that.”

"It turned out to be like this! Why didn't you call the police?"

Jiang Hao's analysis was indeed correct, but Mu Chen never thought that the perpetrator would be so rampant.

"Auntie Bai is too miserable. He is the only family member by her side, and... she was diagnosed with terminal cancer last year, and she doesn't have many days left. I thought that nothing serious happened to me. If I call the police... Auntie Bai will be so innocent. .”

"I gave Aunt Bai a sum of money last month. I asked her to go to the hospital for chemotherapy, which could at least prolong her life. Aunt Bai confiscated it, but Yin Da found out and chased me to give him the money."

"After my mother left, I moved out of that courtyard. Although the house was small, I could still sell some money. At that time, after my mother was buried, I had no money. I went out to work everywhere to pay back the money. Now I have finally paid back the money and have a savings, so I want to open a coffee shop. But it is not enough, and I want to do it well. Thanks to my brothers who are willing to work with me, I have How can I get the money for him when I left the current coffee shop. I just thought he would restrain himself after the last car accident, but I didn’t expect that he would come to the door today and hurt you.”

"Brother Zheng..." Mu Chen felt guilty for exposing Brother Zheng's scar.

"It's okay little brother, Lao Zheng has always been like this, straight to the point, if you were him today, you would say it yourself, some things won't hurt so much if you talk too much. Don't feel bad for him."

But Mu Chen still felt very sympathetic to Brother Zheng, and Jiang Hao felt his emotions and stroked his back.

After eating, I said goodbye to Brother Zheng. Although Mu Chen kept saying "it's okay", Jiang Hao helped him to the hospital to take an X-ray. The doctor said it was only a mild soft tissue contusion, and the ligaments were not torn too much. 1 - He can recover in 2 weeks. He prescribed a tube of ointment and a box of oral medicine for promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. He asked him to apply cold compresses after returning home, and then heat compresses after 48 hours.Mu Chen asked Jiang Hao to go to the doctor to have a look at the injury on the side of his face, but Jiang Hao refused.

"It's just a trauma, it's okay."

When they left the hospital, it was already dark and stars appeared, and the two of them got on the bus to go home together.

There are very few people on the bus at this time, but there will still be a few people on the bus at each stop.They walked to the two vacant seats next to each other in the back row. Jiang Hao asked Mu Chen to sit in the inner seat, and he sat in the aisle seat to prevent Mu Chen's feet from being knocked accidentally.The community of Mu Chen's family is very remote, so he has to take the last bus.

"I'll take you back."

"No need, I can walk by myself, and the station is very close to my house. Just get off when you get home, don't worry about me, really."

Jiang Hao didn't answer, but he didn't get out of the car either. Mu Chen didn't know where Jiang Hao's house was, and couldn't force him to get out of the car.But since Jiang Hao also passed by that road on the day he met Zheng Feng, and he thought it was not far from his home, so he could only let Jiang Hao sit with him to the last stop, help him get off the car and continue on the way. sent to the district.Mu Chen rejected him all the way but turned a deaf ear until he went downstairs to Mu Chen's unit.

Mu Chen couldn't move his right foot, and there was no elevator in this old community. He was worrying about how to get up, when he felt himself being hugged.

Jiang Hao put one arm through his knees, supported his back with the other arm, and carried him all the way up to the fourth floor. Mu Chen's face was red and hot, but he didn't dare to break free for fear of knocking his feet. He hugged him, and Jiang Hao put him down when he reached the door, and rang the doorbell for him.

Fortunately, I didn't run into any acquaintances when I came up, otherwise I would be ashamed.

Mu Chen was only hugged by his parents when he was very young, and now he has grown into a 1.7m[-] boy, yet he was hugged like this by another boy.It's so embarrassing.

Just thinking about shame, Cheng Ying, who was resting at home on the weekend, opened the door and welcomed them in.

"Xiaochen? Who is this?" Cheng Ying looked at this strange handsome guy and asked in confusion.

"Mom, this is my new tablemate Jiang Hao. He is the boy who sent someone to the hospital with you that day."

"Ah, let me tell you, I have never seen such a handsome man in the photos taken in your class."

"Auntie, I'm overwhelmed." Jiang Hao's answer was polite and self-cultivated.

"I heard from Xiaochen that you didn't live in Liucheng originally? Did any relatives move here with you?"

"No."

"Ah, how could it be... so lonely..." It seemed that he suddenly remembered that his son was also guarding the vacant room by himself almost every day, and said, "Come here when you are free, and be a companion with Mu Chen!"

Cheng Ying had an enthusiastic face, staring at Jiang Hao not looking away, but Mu Chen noticed the vague embarrassment in Jiang Hao's plain words, and tried to find a way to relieve the siege: "Hey, Ms. Cheng, you didn't pay attention to your son's legs. lame?"

What kind of mother, after entering the door, stares at other people's sons, but doesn't care about her own son?

"Ah, what happened to your leg?"

This is really a world of faces, even my own mother is a face controler.

Mu Chen rolled his eyes in his heart.

"This is a long story..."

"It's a long story and I'll talk about it later. I'll cut the fruit for you. Xiaochen hasn't brought friends home for many years. Xiaojiang, please sit down for a while."

Xiaojiang...

Jiang Hao visibly froze when he heard this address.

It's been a long time, and I haven't heard anyone call him that.

"Hey, is this still my real mother?" Mu Chen felt that his family status was precarious.

"Your mother is very kind."

Jiang Hao lowered his head, as if he had something on his mind.

"Well, she's been fine. Your mother must be fine, too."

The air was still again.

Could it be that I asked the wrong thing again...

After a few minutes, Cheng Ying held the
