my kind of person

The final time was set at three o'clock in the afternoon the next day. The city library was relatively close to Xiao Yi's house, and the bus was only three stops away.He didn't want Xie Zixin to wait for him, so he arrived half an hour early, planning to wait for him while reading.

Unexpectedly, Xie Zixin arrived earlier than him.

Xiao Yi looked helplessly at Xie Zixin waving at him, stepped forward and said, "You don't have to come so early, it's so hard to wait."

Xie Zixin showed confusion: "But you are also very early."

Xiao Yi had nothing to say, he just arrived half an hour earlier on a whim, if he didn't, then Xie Zixin would have to wait dryly.

Xie Zixin brought the printed exam papers, only mathematics and physics, and some difficult points in high school knowledge.

Xie Zixin had done all the papers in advance. Xiao Yi took them to browse carefully, and after seeing the distribution of wrong questions on the whole paper, Xiao Yi knew the general idea in his heart. Questions that are too difficult or those that the creator deliberately dug holes may make mistakes, but the overall score is considered to be above average.

The situation is much better than Xiao Yi thought. It is not easy for him to go to this point in his own review, and if he consolidates, he should have no problem in coping with the transfer examination.

Xie Zixin looked at him with a nervous expression, sitting upright, like a student worried about being criticized by the teacher.

Xiao Yi felt that Xie Zixin's inexplicable contrast was a bit cute, and he said, "Don't be nervous, it's already pretty good, but you need to familiarize yourself with the frequently asked questions."

Xie Zixin breathed a sigh of relief and nodded obediently.

Xiao Yi then helped him sort out the common types of difficult problems and explained the difficult points. Xie Zixin listened and took notes in the test paper and notebook.Xiao Yi is obviously not a professional teacher, but he carefully sorted out and recorded everything he said, and occasionally nodded in agreement, as if there is no better teacher than him in the world.

Xie Zixin's hair was a bit long, probably because he didn't have time to take care of it specially, and his bangs hung down, slightly blocking his sight.His light-colored soft hair reveals his concentrated eyes, as quiet as a deer concentrating on meditation.

Xiao Yi stared at it for a while, and the voice of the lecture slowed down unconsciously. It was not until Xie Zixin raised his head in confusion that Xiao Yi continued: "...these are the types of questions. Junior high school mathematics will not be difficult. Master the core. The method will do."

What is he doing?Talk about a topic can be distracted, concentrated...

Xie Zixin: "Yes."

"Has the exam time been fixed?"

"July NO.20."

"There is still one month left." Xiao Yi said, "In one month, I will pay close attention to the areas where mathematics and physics are weak. Is there any problem with other memorized subjects?"

Most subjects in junior high school rely on memory, Xie Zixin has no big problem in this regard, so he nodded.

Xiao Yi looked at the time and found that it was past five o'clock in the afternoon, so he asked Xie Zixin if he wanted to have dinner together, and Xie Zixin agreed.The two left the library. Xiao Yi was searching for delicious and affordable restaurants nearby on Dianping. After walking a few steps, he found that Xie Zixin hadn't followed.

Xiao Yi turned his head and saw Xie Zixin standing in place, staring at the phone, as if he saw something that made him tense up in horror for a moment, his fingers were clenched, and his expression was even a little pale.

Xiao Yi's heart tightened suddenly, he strode back and asked worriedly, "What's wrong?"

Xie Zixin suddenly took back the phone, he lowered his head, and it took him a long time to reply hastily: "Sorry, I have something to do suddenly, let's try another day."

Xiao Yi frowned: "What's the matter?"

"It's a family matter." Xie Zixin seemed to be in a hurry to go back, and walked forward quickly while talking, "I want to go back."

Xiao Yi saw that his expression was not right, so he let him go without any worries, and grabbed him: "You live alone in your house, what can happen?"

"Xiao Yi!"

Xie Zixin suddenly raised his voice, Xiao Yi was taken aback by the shout.

Xie Zixin looked at him anxiously, with indescribable urgency flashing in his eyes, his tense arms broke away from him bit by bit, his lips even trembled slightly: "It's my family's business, I have to go, Feel sorry."

Xiao Yi's hand was freed, Xie Zixin turned around immediately, and his back hurriedly disappeared into the crowd coming and going at the subway station entrance.

After getting on the subway, Xie Zixin took out his phone and read the sudden news again.

Dad: Xiaoxin, how are you doing?Dad hasn't seen you for a long time, do you still live in the same place?

Dad: I just happened to be there today. I have something to do nearby. Come out and meet me when you have time. Let Dad take a good look at you. Dad has been sorry for you these past few years.

Dad: If you are not free, I will go to your aunt Chen Jing first.

This was the first time he contacted Xie Zixin since Xie Mingkuan left in the second year of junior high school.

Xie Zixin didn't know why he still wanted to contact her. After he left, Xie Zixin just treated him as a stranger who disappeared into his life, and didn't delete his contact information on purpose.

He once beat both him and his mother, forcing her to leave the house. Xie Zixin can no longer care about the past, but her mother has passed away, and what father owes her is not a mere "sorry" that can be settled .

However, Xie Mingkuan mentioned his aunt.

Usually, my uncle is not at home at work, and only my aunt and her in-laws and children are at home. What Xie Zixin is afraid of is that after all, everything after his mother died was hidden from his father. It was my aunt who helped him all the time. Old debt, how will my aunt deal with it?

Xie Zixin didn't want Xie Mingkuan to disturb his aunt, and he didn't want him to appear in the sight of anyone he knew.

Therefore, Xie Zixin had to go back, at least, he couldn't be allowed to see his aunt alone.

Xie Zixin exhaled slowly, calmed down, and replied to Xie Mingkuan.

Xie Zixin: I am on my way back

Dad: Great, Xiaoxin

Dad: Dad just wants to see you, and he will leave soon if he has something to do, so he won't disturb you for too long.

Dad: Then I'll wait for you by the Linshui Road.

Xie Zixin: Yes

When Xie Zixin returned to Linshui Road, it was nearly 06:30. He saw a white Honda car parked in a temporary parking space on the side of the road from a distance. On the driver's seat was a familiar but unfamiliar face.

Seeing him, Xie Mingkuan hurriedly got out of the car. He was wearing a white shirt and suit pants. His face was older, but his figure was much fatter. He was an ordinary middle-aged man that can be seen everywhere.

The moment he saw Xie Mingkuan, Xie Zixin felt uncontrollable vomiting in his throat, as if someone had thrown a disgusting, foul-smelling filth in front of him.

"Xiao Xin!" Xie Mingkuan approached him, stretching out his rough palms to hug Xie Zixin, but Xie Zixin subconsciously took a step back, his face pale with discomfort.

Xie Mingkuan paused, his expression was dim for a while, he didn't get close to Xie Zixin, he just looked him up and down carefully, however, this kind of gaze was like a knife in Xie Zixin's eyes, he almost tried his best to control himself from pulling his legs Just go with the desire.

"Xiao Xin, you have grown taller." Xie Mingkuan said guiltily, "I'm sorry, Dad hasn't contacted you these years... It's not that I don't want to contact you, but Dad also has difficulties."

Xie Zixin listened quietly, her eyes fixed on the puddles on the ground.

Xie Mingkuan started to greet him, asking him how his life is, whether he has enough money, where he is going to school now, and how he is studying, just like a real father.

Xie Mingkuan: "Have you had dinner? If you haven't eaten, go find a restaurant nearby. Daddy treats you to dinner?"

"Eat." Xie Zixin said calmly, "If you have anything to say, say it here."

Hearing this, Xie Mingkuan's expression froze for a moment, he sighed slowly, lit a cigarette casually, and sighed: "Okay, then let's talk here."

He exhaled a puff of smoke, and in the fading night, the smoke scattered under the street lamps.

Xie Mingkuan: "Xiao Xin, Dad is sorry for you and your mother."

Xie Zixin looked at him silently.

"At that time... my career was not going my way, and I was too impulsive. I always vented my anger on you and your mother. I was not a good father." Xie Mingkuan coughed twice, his voice mixed with indescribable regret, " I only found out last year that your mother had already passed away, she married me and didn't have a good life for a few days, I'm sorry for her, I'm really sorry for her."

Xie Mingkuan took two puffs and then gave up. He threw the cigarette on the ground and stamped out the cigarette butt: "You have survived by yourself for the past three years. You must have suffered a lot. It's all dad's fault. Dad shouldn't have left you behind. Then go."

Xie Mingkuan in front of him was almost completely different from his irritable and irritable father at that time. Xie Zixin felt a little dazed. From the time he remembered, his father seldom spoke to him in such a gentle and guilty voice. Now it sounds like a Like old-fashioned tapes, full of eerie warmth.

"Let me tell you the truth, Xiao Xin." Xie Mingkuan sighed, "I have also experienced a lot in the past few years, and some things are beyond my control. You are still young, and you will understand when you grow up. Dad has changed his mind now. , I have a new marriage, and my career is considered stable, if you are really struggling alone, you can come to me anytime."

Xie Zixin didn't say a word, nor did his expression change.

"Father will transfer some pocket money to you first to buy something you like." Xie Mingkuan tapped on the phone, "Dad didn't fulfill his responsibilities as a father in those years, so I can only compensate you in this way first, Xiaoxin, You can take it with peace of mind, and if you don’t have enough in the future, you can always ask me for it.”

Xie Zixin's phone vibrated, and Xie Mingkuan transferred 8000 yuan to him on WeChat.

"It's late now, Dad has something to go, don't be too frugal in life, eat and drink, you can still have fun at your age." Xie Mingkuan looked at him, "Let Dad take a picture before leaving A photo? I haven't seen you for a long time, and I also want to leave a photo, Aunt Zhao... Oh, it's Dad's current wife, she also knows about you, and has always wanted to see you. "

Xie Zixin stood still, Xie Mingkuan simply took two photos of him with his mobile phone, and then said goodbye to him.

Xie Mingkuan got into the car and started the car. He waved to Xie Zixin, and the car slowly drove away from the old neighborhood and disappeared into the night.
