Half way

Gu Sheng's family of four had a warm dinner. Gu's father always told Gu Sheng with a serious face that he should learn to deal with others more at work, and don't do it alone.

"Okay, my son came back after a long time, and I heard you talking about him. You can't stop your mouth after eating."

Mother Gu took a chopstick of meat and put it in Father Gu's bowl, and Father Gu immediately died down.

Gu Xiao covered her mouth and smiled quietly. Their father probably had a job, but at home he always had a leadership tone. It was fine with Gu Xiao, because she was a girl after all, but for a boy like Gu Sheng, Gu's father It can be said that he is a real strict father. When these two sit together, they feel that the air around them will drop a few degrees.

Gu Sheng's temperament is very similar to their father, serious and taciturn, while Gu Xiao is more like his mother, cheerful and lively, but Gu's mother is a university professor. In addition, their family is very good at reading except for Gu Xiao, and Gu Xiao has been on the verge of passing since he was a child, so they often say that Gu Xiao was picked up.

Although Gu Sheng hasn't been back for a long time, his room is as tidy as if he never left.It is not difficult to see that it is his mother's credit.

Wu Yicheng: Ah Sheng, I heard from my mother that you are back for National Day?

Gu Sheng: Well, at home.

Wu Yicheng: That's a coincidence, I came out for a drink, I arrived early today.

Gu Sheng thought for a while, and he and Wu Yicheng had indeed not seen each other for a long time.

Gu Sheng: Yes.

Wu Yicheng: See you at the old place.

Gu Sheng: Good.

At night, when the temperature dropped, Gu Sheng put on a coat and went outside.

"Mom, Chengzi is back, I'll go out for a while."

"Okay, do you have the key?"

"Bring it."

Gu's mother looked at the back of Gu Sheng leaving, and sighed a little sadly, "Hey, Chengzi is such a good child, but it's a pity that I don't like boys, otherwise they would be more compatible with my Shengsheng."

"Mom, let's forget Brother Chengzi's character, I think our family will blow up."

"You child, how do you talk? That's your brother Chengzi."

Gu Xiao curled her lips indifferently, Wu Yicheng and his brother were young, if they could be together, they would have been together a long time ago, and brother Chengzi has the same temperament as a gangster, she thinks his brother can't control it.

When the night wind blew, Gu Sheng felt that it was a wise move for him to bring a coat.

There are quite a few couples and old ladies out for a walk outside after dinner, and occasionally they would say hello to those whom Gu Sheng knew.

"Hey, Gu Sheng has grown up so much, what a handsome guy."

"Young and promising!"

"Have you talked about your girlfriend? No? It's time to talk about it."

Gu Sheng met many acquaintances along the way, and after finally walking to the place where they were in high school, they gradually disappeared.

The old place Wu Yicheng mentioned was a street behind their school, there were a lot of delicious food, he used to be hungry, and Wu Yicheng happened to come back from outside, so he would go to that street to help him bring some food back, which annoyed the neighbors The people in the dormitory often knocked on the door and said that they were poisoning late at night.

From far away, Gu Sheng saw a man standing under the flickering lights. He was playing with his mobile phone with his head down. On an early autumn night, he was wearing a pure black T-shirt and a light gray coat. , wearing a peaked cap on his head, because his head was lowered, which just covered his facial features.

He looks tall and tall. As soon as Gu Sheng walked over there, he raised his head as if he had sensed it. The dim light did not affect the handsomeness of this person at all. When he saw Gu Sheng, he immediately showed his face. He gave a ruffian smile, and casually turned the front edge of the peaked cap to the back of his head, only then did his heroic facial features show.

"Asheng!"

As soon as Gu Sheng walked over, he immediately hugged Gu Sheng's neck, like a restless monkey.

Gu Sheng didn't pat his hand down either, instead there was a slight smile in his eyes.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

"Let's go, I haven't been back for a long time, I really miss the skewers from Old Liu's."

"I miss it too."

The two of them went to the back street as they talked. There were so many people at this time, the boss recognized the two of them as soon as he saw them, so he simply moved a small table for the two of them to sit outside and eat.

When Wu Yicheng took the skewers, he didn't need to ask Gu Sheng's opinion to know that he didn't eat offal and coriander.

"It's so hot, it's already autumn, and it's still so hot."

Wu Yicheng sat down and took off the peaked cap on his head, only then did Gu Sheng see that he had a bald head.

"Your side? Your troops allow it?"

Wu Yicheng directly opened a bottle of beer with his teeth, handed it to Gu Sheng, opened another bottle himself, and took a long gulp from the mouth of the bottle.

"Ha... cool! Don't mention it. I was on a mission a while ago, and I wanted to pretend to be a hip-hop rebellious boy. I deliberately grew my hair long and dyed it colorfully. I finally completed the mission. The first thing I did when I came back was to put my hair on Shaved."

"You used to be dyed..."

Even Gu Sheng was embarrassed to slap him in the face, and Wu Yicheng shook his hand, "Who didn't have a second year in middle school, don't mention my black history, as if you didn't have one, I remember when you were in kindergarten, you changed your teeth and thought you were going to die, so you wrote a suicide note Well, if you can’t write, you can use pinyin instead.”

Sometimes it's not good to be too familiar, you know all the embarrassing things about the other party clearly, even if you want to say something, you can get back in minutes.

"You haven't found a partner yet?"

"My mother is going to give me a blind date."

"Hahaha, I knew that Aunt Qin should be in a hurry, but so is your kid. If I hadn't grown up with you, I would have thought you had an unforgettable white moonlight or had been hurt in love."

Gu Sheng raised his eyes and glanced at Wu Yicheng, "Don't force me to expose your scars."

"Okay, I'll shut up."

Soon the kebabs came up, and the boss gave them a few more kebabs.

Wu Yicheng smiled and showed his white teeth, "Boss, thank you, business is booming."

The boss was very happy when he heard it, and the girls on the side were all looking at their table. Gu Sheng felt that Wu Yicheng's ability to attract bees and butterflies had not changed after all these years.

Wu Yicheng took off his coat when he was eating hot. The neckline of his T-shirt was a little too big. When he lowered his head to eat, Gu Sheng was dazzled by a bright light. When he looked up, his eyes darkened.

"Orange, do you still have some left?"

Wu Yicheng was stunned for a moment, but he didn't understand what Gu Sheng meant. When he followed Gu Sheng's gaze and lowered his head, his entire facial expression froze.

He raised his hand to touch the necklace on his chest, and lowered his head and eyes.

"I want to return it to its original owner."

Maybe even Wu Yicheng himself didn't know whether he was deceiving himself or others or if he really decided to do so.

Gu Sheng didn't respond, but took a sip of the wine in silence.

"A Sheng, I will probably retire next year."

Gu Sheng raised his head abruptly. He was very surprised by Wu Yicheng's words. Wu Yicheng has always participated in the special forces. Because of his good physical and psychological quality, he is highly valued by the army. Wu Yicheng several times Gu Sheng also persuaded him to escape from death, but it was useless.

"How did you figure it out?"

Wu Yicheng smiled, pulled down his neckline, and Gu Sheng saw a long scar next to his left chest.

He raised the corner of his mouth and said indifferently: "At the beginning of this year, I was shot by the leader of a drug gang and almost died. If it wasn't for my comrades in arms, I might not be here anymore."

"I found that I was a little afraid of death..."

Gu Sheng opened his mouth and hesitated to speak, he actually wanted to ask Wu Yicheng, you are not afraid of death, but afraid that you will never see that person again.

"And my mother is going to remarry... I guess no one will want that idiot in my family."

What Wu Yicheng was talking about was his younger sister——Zhen Yiyao, who had intellectual problems. She was ten years old now, and she was still talking badly. She was an annoyance at home. He despised her, but it was Wu Yicheng who really took care of Zhen Yiyao.

Wu Yicheng's biological father had a little money in business when he was young, and that was probably the only good time for him. Later, his father's company closed down, and his temper became irritable. After drinking too much, he would not only beat his mother, but even the young Wu Yicheng This kind of life continued until Wu Yicheng was 15 years old, his father drank too much and fell into the river in the middle of winter, but he never caught anyone again.

Not long after, a new member came to their family, who was Zhen Yiyao's biological father, Wu Yicheng's mother's second husband, who worked in the same factory as Wu Yicheng's mother, and Wu Yicheng guessed that the two of them had already been related. After all, Zhen Yiyao was born prematurely, but in fact she was born at full term.

Regarding the matter of his mother's cheating, Wu Yicheng didn't express any opinions, he just pretended that he didn't know anything and just lived his own life well.

But I don't know what went wrong, Zhen Yiyao is a fool, Zhen Yiyao's biological father did not dislike her, but Wu Yicheng's mother felt that the reason why Zhen Yiyao was a fool was God's punishment for cheating on her, so she was very angry. I don't like Zhen Yiyao.

And maybe God really didn't have good intentions for this woman. Not a few years after Wu Yicheng went to serve in the army, the man died of kidney failure, and passed away after almost spending all their savings.

If it wasn't for Wu Yicheng, his mother would have quietly taken Zhen Yiyao out in the dark and threw it away. She did, more than once. Whenever he brought Zhen Yiyao back to greet him, it was his mother's hysteria.

Until one time when his mother was going to take Zhen Yiyao out again in the middle of the night, Wu Yicheng just caught him at night, and he picked up a beer bottle and threw it at his mother. The beer bottle slid past his mother's face and hit her behind There was a loud bang on the wall.

"If you dare to take her out and throw her away, I will beat you to death!"

The woman cried and said, "I am your mother! You are going to be punished by God!"

"Okay, if you want to stab her to death, I'll clean up the body for you, or if you're obedient, don't throw her away."

Wu Yicheng's eyes were so fierce that the woman had no way to suspect that Wu Yicheng was just threatening her.
